Prologue
A breeze blew through the humid air, lifting brisk of leaves off the ground to only
be left at another spot, below the sky the air twisted and came to a halt above the school,
shadows began to fall on to the jagged corners of the building, more seemed to appear,
then one gave a nod of confirmation, with one last breeze of air, shadows were no where
to be seen with in a few seconds.
Reiki sat in his desk with a look of absolute boredom doodling all over his desk to
pass by the time, while the teacher was lecturing away about Shakespeare.
"Mr. Era would you please look up here for a moment and tell me how do you
feel about Shakespeare?" The teacher asked.
"Nante!?!" Reiki looked up thinking to himself for a moment, "he was a brilliant, I
guess"
The teacher nodded then looked back at Reiki "Would you like to explain?"
"It was in his blood he had a love for poetry that no one could deny him, he
continue to follow his dreams." Reiki said in a quiet tone trying to get this over with.
"You are quite correct Mr. Era" Reiki cut the teacher off "My friends call me
Reiki" he said with a small grin on his lip.
Kaoru kicked Reiki's chair, Who was Reiki's best friend, and his partner in many
things, from sports, to lying about everything. "What are you trying to do? get a detention"
Kaoru leaned over and said it to Reiki in a low voice.
Their teacher shifted his gaze on to Kaoru "do you have something to add?"
Kaoru's face turned purple "No I was just agreeing with what Reiki was saying: Kaoru
yanked Reiki's shirt "Isn't that Right?" Reiki just nodded in response.
The Teacher turned around and continued to talk about Shakespeare's raising up
and past.
Reiki turned around and began talking to Kaoru.
Their teacher turned around again, "Reiki, you know I picked on you to answer, so
as you would participate."
Reiki turned around to talk to the teacher, "Nante!?! I am getting a B, what does it
matter if I participate"
Kaoru laughed "It's hard not to fall asleep in this class"
Reiki put his hand on Kaoru's mouth "Not so loud!"
The teacher glared them with a redness in his eye's, as if something was burning in
their "Both of you, detention, after school!"
Reiki and Kaoru put their heads on the desk and sighed "Damn."
A sound of footsteps could be heard through the halls and it began to become a
heavier pounding, and their seemed to be screams that kept on getting louder, then all went
quiet. The door shattered open, pieces of wood flying into the wall, then suddenly a sound
came again from the door, and a giant creature, that seemed to hiss as it walked, it flung
itself onto to the teachers desk, cracking it down the middle. The figure cocked it's head
out forward staring at it's surroundings around the room.
The Teacher ran out of the door shaking his arms wildly in the air and screaming
"Thou shall not die in thee cursed sanctuary" Then an old man pops up with a sign his
hand translating what the teacher had said "No way in hell am I going to die in this rotting
hell hole."
Then other students began to follow the teachers lead and ran out of the door
screaming, while Reiki and Kaoru hid behind a desk, conversing over what they should
do.
Reiki peeked out his head out over the desk getting a look at the creature, "Isn't
panicking the last thing you are supposed to do?" Reiki lowered his head looking at
Kaoru.
Kaoru nodded "Right, Where's my school handbook, I think they had a drill about
dealing with giant ugly guys" Reiki grinned, "I get your point, just make a beak for it?"
Kaoru just nodded again and got up, and made a run for the door, the creature
turned it's head and began to shift it's weight getting ready to chase Kaoru.
Reiki rolled his eye's "So fidgety." Reiki jumped from behind the desk and threw
a chipped handle of a desk at the thing, "yo ugly! Your looking the wrong way!"
The thing jumped in Reiki's direction trying to pin him into the wall. Reiki
screamed and moved back a step, his foot tripping on top of a piece of pencil, then
slipping on the hard ground., First his head making contact then the rest of his body.
Reiki lay motionless on the ground, till the thing crashed it's head into the wall, the
whole room was shaking at the impact of the creature. Reiki opened his eye's at the sound
of it trying to get it's head out of the wall it just ran into, Reiki got up rubbing his head, he
stared at the thing that was trying to escape from the wall. "Help me out and I just might
spare your life kid!" It said in a muffled voice through the wall. Reiki walked up to it and
kicked it in the ass. "ya that's it, just might?" Reiki gave it another kick.
"Your dead! I promise you kid!" Reiki gave it one last kick and ran out of the
room. "Ya, if you find me."
Reiki looked at the empty hall, and the faint sound could be heard from across the
other side of the hall.
Reiki walked down the hall wondering what the sound was, The damage set by
these things, could be noticed, most of the school had been torn apart or completely
trashed, yet it seemed no students were left. Reiki then heard a scream and a blonde girl
came running down the hall and jumped into his hands flailing her arms wildly in the air;
Reiki looked at her confused "What's wrong with you?"
She began to smack Reiki around the face, even though she didn't realize it.
"There's a giant monster, and it won't stop following me!!" Ritsu shouted into his ear.
Reiki dropped her and fell back on to the ground at Ritsu's slaps "Do you have to
be so loud and painful.?" Reiki twitched
Ritsu slapped Reiki again this time leaving a red mark on his face "How do you
expect me to act doing a crisis!"
Reiki jumped back up "Nante!?! well you can wait, we don't have time to go over
your monster problems"
Reiki helped Ritsu get up on her feet and they turned around and ran out toward
the school exit, Reiki kicked the door open and ran outside with Ritsu not too far behind.
Ritsu leaned over catching her breath "What about the rest of the students in
there?"
"I'll go in, check if anyone is still left, Especially Kaoru." Reiki opened the door
again. Ritsu grabbed on to his arm "You can't leave me out here!"
Reiki pushed away her hand "Don't worry, no monsters out here!"
"Still you can't just leave me out here! I am coming to help!" Ritsu shouted at
Reiki as he ran through the door.
Reiki turned around "Your such a pain." And ran inside
Reiki looked through the halls then turned to Ritsu "You take the right hall, and I'll
take the left"
"One question how are we going to exactly help?" Ritsu asked.
Reiki shrugged "Why did you come if your going to be of no help?!?"
Reiki walked down the hall listening for the sounds coming from down the hall,
Reiki jumped back when apiece of the wall a few feet in front of him burst open to the
side and tall figure slid threw coming to a complete halt in front of Reiki.
He was around 6'5, while Reiki stood at around 6 foot. Reiki took a step back
keeping caution. He was in armored plates of what seemed to be made of metal covering
around his leg's, arm, and body, the armor wasn't perfectly round and didn't ended in
perfect circles, rather it comes out in spikes at the knee, shoulder, and his arm joints.
The figure looked at an object it was holding; it seemed to beep louder and louder
every time.
"It must be near" It mumbled to itself, and flung it's arm out to get a grab on
Reiki, Reiki jumped back and began running toward the nearest exit. Reiki kicked the
door open and ran outside of the school, Reiki looked around him, then noticed a car, and
jumped behind it trying to avoid the creature while keeping it's attention away causing
anymore harm to the school. The figure brought out the box shaped thing and looked at
it's signal noticing it's going fainter, then it turned around decided to go in to search for
it's prime goal.
Reiki jumped out from behind the car, realizing it wasn't going to search for him.
"Where do you think your going?" Reiki walked away from the car and closer to
the thing.
It snarled "So far you're not on my death list kid, just stay out of the way and your
fine."
Reiki smiled "Then we can both just leave and not worry about this death list."
"No." It responded solemnly.
Reiki looked at it studying it for a moment "What are you?"
"Raitran's the name, and I am a Sioux, a being stronger then you will ever be
Kid." It said in a proud tone.
Reiki rolled his eye's "Then why haven't I heard of you before?"
"I am sure you've seen of our work." Raitran grinned "But for such a non-believer, you
shall pay."
Raitran's eye's flashed red, within seconds the ground a few feet from him
exploded as if a bomb was set there, then another heading toward Reiki, the explosions got
bigger and faster as they approached Reiki.
"Oh...shit..." Reiki jumped back avoiding a blast, Reiki jumped back once more
dodging it, but a shred of his pants burning away. "Damn too close"
Reiki started sprinting for the Sioux, dodging a flare after the other "Your not so
strong for a hot shot, Reiki said, while kicking his leg into the side of Raitran's face.
Raitran grabbed his face "No human hurts me!"
Reiki laughed "You look human to me, and not very tough"
"You won't get away with this insolence" Raitran stretched out his arms and the
ground began to shake at the power being released by Raitran. Reiki flipped over falling
on to his back as one explosion blew a foot away from him, burning through his pants,
turning them into crummy old shorts.
Reiki crawled back "Me and my big mouth…" Reiki closed his eye's for a
moment, Reiki teacher approached Reiki, "Someday that mouth of yours is going to get
you in trouble"
Reiki laughed, "No way, how much do you want to bet on it?" Reiki's teacher put
out a twenty. Reiki threw in a twenty also "Your on Teach!"
Reiki opened his eye's and saw the ground all around him explode, then his body
twitched at a cold feeling that began to flow through his body, yet it was so warm, as it
was cold. Raitran smiled and his eye's glimmered one last time, going for the finishing
touch with a fiery explosion, That out did the ones before.
*****
Ritsu ran down the hall, staring at the crippled walls. "Why would anyone want to
destroy a school?" She continued to roam the empty halls, it seemed that everyone had
already evacuated the school, and there were no causalities, luckily.
Ritsu threw her arms in the air and spoke to the walls. "I might as well leave, no
one's left in here. I wonder what happened to the attackers anyway?"
Ritsu cocked her head across the corner at the sound of a crumbling wall, There
was a tall figure with spiky armor that was lying with in the rubble. She cocked her whole
body out and began to walk toward the thing, when she noticed a girl with chestnut hair
that was parted to the sides in odd formations, while she was wearing a one piece tight
clothing with pieces of armor around her leg, and arms, and one lingering around her
waist, The armor that surrounded her tight clothing more resembled metallic pieces of
cloth floating gently in the air protecting her from danger then 100% solid metal. She was
standing across from Ritsu with a wide grin on her face.
"Come on Raitran, what are you doing here, speak up."
Raitran grinned, "Never, I am loyal, to the Sioux." Raitran then lowered his head
in to the rubble and passed out.
The girl turned around looking at Ritsu "Hey, you alright?" She said in a rather
cheerful tone.
Ritsu couldn't help but smile back "hey, I am doing okay, who are you anyway?"
"Kino, and you are?" She said in response
Ritsu looked at the thing then back at Kino with a skeptical look on her face.
Kino grinned "I know what your thinking, did I do this to an over grown Sioux
like him."
Ritsu nodded "Well ya, and what's a Sioux?"
Kino got down and began to run through the rubble searching for anything that
might hint at what Raitran was doing here. "Not exactly sure, they are humans who use
the power of True Sioux to fight."
"So you're a Sioux too, right?" Ritsu walked next to Kino and stared at her
clothing "You wouldn't know any place I can get something like that?"
Kino laughed "No way, I am bit different from Sioux, I am an AlluReli, A strong
power, use it to fight the Sioux. And sorry, this sort of clothing isn't made in china"
Ritsu nodded "So your the good copy of them."
Kino shrugged "yea something like that."
Kino turned her head as a beeping sound came from Raitran's figure; A crashing
sound could be heard from the hall where Ritsu had come from. Both girls turned their
heads Around when they saw two figures break the floor above and fall below with blades
locked together both were around the same size, except one was a bit taller, the shorter
one had brown hair, and was wearing something similar to Kino's yet not so tight, more
male like, with armor around various places, that seemed attached to the clothing, yet his
had much more armor around his then Kino's, and his was different colors, the suit was
black and the armor was a bluish. While the taller one was wearing armor that was alike to
Ashton's but much more built, as it seemed.
Kino opened up her eyes and stared at the shorter one with brown hair. "Hello
Ashton, what is Beirsat doing with you?"
Ashton let his blade go of Beirsat's and jumped back while Beirsat did the same.
Ashton Ran his hand through his hair "Hey Kino, who's the girl."
Kino looked at Ritsu "Oh..she's Ritsu, Ritsu this is Ashton."
Ashton bowed "the pleasure is all mine"
"umm..nice to meet you too Ashton." Ritsu bowed back.
Ashton turned his gaze back to Beirsat, Beirsat was walking in Raitran's direction,
grabbing him from the arm, and lifting him on his shoulder. Beirsat then eyed at the small
clock like thing, that was ticking. Beirsat looked at Ritsu, then back at the thing.
Beirsat nodded in confirmation of his theory, Beirsat looked up his hair falling
behind him "If you want her to be an AlluReli you had better train her quick, before she's
a known target for all Sioux's."
"Is that what your after?" Ashton asked.
"Why else would be break up class?" Beirsat laughed and disappeared out of the
school.
Ritsu turned around to Ashton and Kino "have you two seen my friend, he was
here too, me and him stayed around to help out of we could."
Kino shaked her head "We saw lots of people run out of this school screaming, but
tell us what he looked like."
Ritsu thought for a moment "he's about Ashton's height, brown hair..."
Ashton turned walked around the corner kicking pieces of pebbles out of his way
"Ohh..hmm...yeah he's right around the corner "Ashton bent down and helped Reiki up,
Kino and Ritsu followed a second after Ashton to see what he was doing.
Ritsu gasped "Reiki what the hell happened to you?"
Reiki tried to smile "I threatened a Sioux"
"yea well enough of this" Ashton interrupted "You willing to learn how to fight
from us Ritsu."
Reiki began laughing to himself "Teach her to fight, That's a good one."
Ritsu smacked Reiki's arm "At least I can kick your ass Reiki"
Reiki lowered his head in pain "Ouch...Don't touch my burn spots!"
Kino laughed "Ritsu mind spending the night at my place?"
"Uhm...not at all, but why?" Ritsu asked.
"If they attacked once, they'll come back again! It's fundamental!"
Ritsu leaned against the wall thinking. "I don't know."
"Reiki you can't tell anyone that Ritsu has the genes to be an AlluReli, alright"
Kino said.
Reiki laughed to himself and tested out his legs making sure they're still usable.
"Don't worry about it"
Kino slitted her eye's "I mean it"
"Don't worry, no need for glares." Reiki said and began walking "I think I'll go
home now, later" Reiki gave one last wave and walked down the hall, moving past pieces
of wood and concrete all over the place.
"Ritsu go home get your stuff tell your mom your sleeping over a friend's house,
we can use my car, Ashton will catch up with you later, alright?"
Ashton nodded and walked off.
"I am not sure this would be the best idea, to go with you Kino." Ritsu thought
about what she's saying for a moment "I barely know you too."
"But it's for your own good" Kino smiled "And you can get to know me later, we
just have to worry about staying away from the Sioux for now."
*****
It had hit Reiki, that he had no ride, his friends had all left and he was forced to
walk home on his own. He kicked his foot into the dirt, damn it, This day just can't get
any worse, from freaks attacking the school, to Ritsu being able to be that AlluReli stuff,
what does she have anyway? She's such a ditz.
Reiki's thoughts were disturbed when he saw someone's shadow behind him,
Reiki looked out of the corner of his eye to catch a look at who it was.
The figure continued to walk toward Reiki at a slow pace that was dressed in
black clothing and a flowing white coat. Reiki just stared at him for a while till he neared
him about five feet.
Reiki raised an eyebrow "Who are you? Another monster?"
The figure laughed in a hearty old voice "Not likely, I am Master Shoni, I teach
100 of the known forms of martial arts known to the world."
"Nante!?! But you're over 60 or something!"
"Hey don't get smart with me Reiki, I can win in a one on one fight against you
any day."
Reiki pushed Shoni "Old man you can't beat up a piece of….wait how did you
know my name?"
Shoni looked from side to side thinking "I got it from that girl, when you guys
were up against the Sioux."
"You mean Ritsu"
Shoni nodded "I am willing to honor you Reiki, By being your martial arts
master."
Reiki tiled his head forward, "umm…I'll pass"
Shoni put on a wide smile on his face that seemed more like a grin "I insist" Shoni
began walking Reiki's direction, Grabbing on to his arm and continuing to walk.
Reiki was trying to pull himself away in the meantime, Reiki began to turn red
"Can I at least tell my parents, I won't be home for dinner?"
Shoni squeezed Reiki's arm tightly and continued to drag him on "Reiki, if I
remember correctly, your an orphan."
Reiki made a fist and aimed it for Shoni's face "Old stalker!"
Shoni let go of Reiki's arm and grabbed his hand "now be nice to the elderly."
Reiki began to walk away "No, I am not going with you either way."
Master Shoni sighed, and grabbed on to Reiki's arm. Reiki turned around and
made another punch for the old man's gut but was intercepted by Shoni's hand that was
holding on to Reiki's hand very tightly.
He smacked Reiki on the cheek once with his left hand, while his right was resting
behind his back, then he went for another smack going to the otherside and one more time
to the other side leaving Reiki's cheek red. "you shouldn't try to hit the elderly Reiki, who
taught you your manners?"
Reiki rubbed his cheek. "Fine...I'll come"
"Good I knew you weren't such a stubborn boy."
"Wait...what sort of car do you drive?" Reiki asked
"Night blue Camaro"
Reiki grinned to himself "If I am coming with you, I am driving."
"No."
"But your harassing me to come with you, at least let me drive!"
"No."
Reiki snatched the key's "Forget what you say you ol' freak" Reiki began to run
off with the keys, then the next thing, his eye was black, and Shoni's fist was in it, leaving
a mark is if a crater hit Reiki's face. Reiki's body twitched as he fell back on the ground.
Shoni grabbed Reiki by the collar of his shirt and began dragging him down the street,
Shoni opened the back seat to the car and threw Reiki's unmoving body in the car, and he
hopped to the other side of the car and jumped in driving off to his place.
*****
Kino showed Ritsu the way to a giant building that was named Res Inc. It was a
research building that also majored in sale's of advanced projects and technologies, it out
did some of the biggest buildings in the world. It's owned by a wise, and intelligent man,
named Shoni.
Ritsu followed Kino into the building, Kino saying hi to all those who were
working at the desk's and working down the halls.
Ritsu followed keeping up with Kino's fast pace, walking from hall to hall,
moving into elevators then going up around twenty floors, then finally, Kino walked into a
sector of the building.
Kino motioned for Ritsu to go in, then followed her.
"What are we doing here" Ritsu spoke as she took a look around the room.
Kino took her shirt, and skirt off "Going to test if you're an AlluReli like Beirsat
say's."
Ritsu turned around turning red, "May I ask what your doing." Ritsu peered back
to see if she was done.
Kino laughed "You can turn around now" Kino was dressed in the same uniform
she wore at the school
Ritsu walked up toward her feeling the fabric "How did you change so fast?"
Kino smiled "An AlluReli trick."
"What do you want me to do now." Ritsu was saying as Kino threw a feeble
punch at Ritsu's gut, Ritsu flipped back dodging the slow attack.
"Were going to see if you're an AlluReli."
"By fighting?"
Kino nodded "Ya, just fight back, try to get a feel for it." Kino did a flip over
Ritsu and landing behind her, and tapping her index finger lightly into Ritsu's back. "You
know if I was to really hit you, you'd be in that wall."
Kino kept on poking Ritsu "Come on Ritsu! Try harder, put your soul into it."
"Okay, Ritsu punched for Kino, Kino just moved aside, then another punch. Kino
dodged, then Ritsu jumped and threw a kick out for Kino's head, Kino grabbed Ritsu's
leg, and pushed it away from her face.
"Why can't I lay one hit on her…" Ritsu brushed her hair away from her eye's,
Ritsu closed her eye's for a sec thinking back earlier in the day. Reiki began laughing to
himself "Teach her to fight, That's a good one.", Ritsu's features changed, kicking for
Kino's side yet Kino was still much faster moving to the left, Ritsu shoved her fist into
Kino's abdomen. Ritsu wrapped her arms around her stomach flinching at the sudden
feeling within her. Kino ran to Ritsu's side "Are you feeling okay?"
She shaked her slightly "Ya, I think I am okay, thank you for asking…" Ritsu
looked up as the feeling fled from her, Kino gave a small smile "Let's go home and head
to bed, a good night sleep might help you feel better."
Ritsu smiled back "Sure, that'd be nice."
Kino opened the door and walked out, her body gave out a little flash then she was
back in her normal clothing, that she had on earlier.
Ritsu stared with her eye's wide open "This make dressing so much easier…" She
thought to herself, then realized Kino was already down the hall, Ritsu followed Kino
"Hey Kino, you have to teach me how you do that!"
Ashton's figure was transparent among the shadows of alley's and buildings, as he
kept on eye on Beirsat walking down a sidewalk on downtown Tokyo, Beirsat made a
turn by a small coffee shop that seemed to still be open and full of life. Ashton moved
along the shadow's slipping from corner to corner avoiding all sight from Beirsat. Beirsat
was dressed in a white shirt and dark blue jeans, yet it seemed to fit him quite well
Beirsat stopped walking down the road. "You don't have to hide Ashton."
Ashton narrowed his eye's "How did he know I was even here, I couldn't even
hear myself move." Ashton jumped into the open under the bright shining moon, Ashton
brushed his shirt, letting dust fly away form his shirt.
"How did you find out the girl had some power in her Beirsat."
"Energy pick-up."
Ashton just looked at him oddly "What?"
"Sioux are stronger then you know Ashton, some can pick up energy signals, like
myself."
Ashton's eye's went wide "That's how you know I was following you."
Beirsat turned around facing his back to Ashton "Yes. I must be on my way, I have
a schedule to keep with."
"Like what?"
"Just worry about getting the girl ready, she'll need all she can learn, it's a bad
time to be an AlluReli."
Ashton narrowed his eyes "Don't worry about us AlluReli's, worry about
yourself." Ashton jumped drawing out a giant sword aiming it for Beirsat's back.
Beirsat only grinned and jumped out of the blade's range.
Beirsat drew out his own. "Is this truly the time to fight Ashton"
Ashton gave a fowl grin "As good as any other."
Beirsat dashed for Ashton his blade glimmering in the moonlight as it made it's
way for Ashton's waist, Ashton stepped back and jumped back landing on a coffee table.
"Don't hold back Beirsat."
Beirsat extended an open fist forward, creating white spheres in the air, with a
giant crack, Ashton was flung back flying into the glass window of the coffee house.
Ashton lay sprawled on the floor on top of the broken glass. People scattered to the sides,
screaming at the shock of the window breaking.
The guy working at the bar, who was large fellow, and had a weird accent to his
voice "Hey you! You going to pay for that! No one just goes crashing through my
windows."
Beirsat walked in Ashton's direction throwing a coffee table aside, then walking
through the shattered glass window "Now's not the time Ashton" Beirsat went drew out a
bill and threw it to the man working at the bar, "Get this kid a mocha nut." Beirsat walked
off, continuing his walk.
Ashton sighed "Damn you Beirsat."
*****
"you aren't tired one bit old freak" Reiki caught Shoni's hand, while Shoni shot a
fist from his other hand into Reiki's gut, "Not yet kiddo!"
Reiki gasped a handful of air pushing Shoni's hand out of his stomach "I am so
tired, I don't think I can go on with this training."
"When your a 100 years old then you have a right to complain" Master Shoni said
while laying another hit throwing Reiki along the wall.
"What did I do to deserve this" Reiki said as his numb body slid down the wall, his
ass landing against the cold floor. "Why am I going through this boot camp training."
Master Shoni walked up to Reiki "Get up you good for nothing kid!"
Reiki got up his eye's blood shut "Good for nothing, It's three in the morning,
we've been at this for the past 7 hours!" Reiki kicked Master Shoni and threw him through
the door landing outside on the soft grass.
"Now if you don't mind I am going to sleep." Reiki walked off shutting the door
behind him "What a fool he should know better"
Master Shoni's view was distorted and everything seemed to spin in circles, "He
doesn't understand, he has to show me what he's hiding." He thoughts to himself, while
trying to get up on his feet.
Something just doesn't feel right, almost as if this is unreal. I know this would
come, but so soon? "I am sure you've seen of our work." Raitran grinned "But for such a
non-believer, you shall pay." What's that supposed to mean, what work?
Reiki turned on to the other side of the bed that Master Shoni had set up for him.
There's no point in driving myself crazy thinking about this, maybe it's just a bad
dream, but this uneasy feeling hasn't left all day….I can't let him know either…any of
them…
Reiki quit shifting from side to side and went off to sleep with one last sigh.
Sounds drifted from the halls, soundings of pounding and crunching, and loud
women, they had overshadowed those sounds of the morning chirping of birds and the
brush air in the open breeze.
Reiki lifted his head off his pillow, moving his body off his bed, slipping his feet
on the carpet, Reiki walked to the door and went into the hallway following the noise to
where he suspected it was coming from. Master Shoni bent down flexing his muscles,
while holding weights and watching a female workout show, "Ya honey something like
that" Master Shoni threw his arms to the side and stretched then bent them back in.
Reiki's eyes went narrow and dark ,"This is the guy that's supposed to teach me
many forms of martial arts??"
Master Shoni stopped what he was doing turning around to eye Reiki "Good
morning Reiki"
Reiki didn't change his expression, keeping the grim look on his face, "What are
you doing?"
"Working out, and you may call me Sensai from now on."
"To a female's work out show?" Reiki's eyes narrowed. "Sensai? Are you crazy!
You're just an old hallucinating fool!"
Shoni narrowed his eyes at Reiki "Child you must be diverse in all form or martial
arts, even if it is basic training, for it helps complete a larger puzzle.
"Nante?" Reiki walked off to the table with eggs and toast set on it. "My puzzle is
just fine"
Shoni turned his head eyeing Reiki "Oh yeah I made you breakfast."
Reiki grabbed the fork and began eating it all of the egg in one bite while speaking
with a full mouth "I am guessing you made this too? Wow this is too good." Reiki sipped
the orange Juice "well at least you can do something right"
Master Shoni nodded his head "One of my many amazing skills."
Reiki took a giant bite on the toast "yeah, to complete your puzzle." Reiki rolled
his eye's and continued eating.
"Now since you're going to stay at my place, you have to do the shopping."
Reiki turned around to face Shoni, throwing down the toast at the table. "Hey, If
you forgot I am here against my will! I never had a choice!"
Master Shoni smiled "It's for your own good Reiki"
Reiki got up from his chair with a piece of toast in his hand. "You're treating me
like a child!"
"You are, when you're my age then I'll know what I am talking about."
Reiki shoved a piece of toast into his mouth and bit on it, while black clouds
formed around him, One of him at the age 100 during workouts to a females show, and
another cooking dinner and hovering at the same time. "I am going to kill myself if I end
up like that, old and a complete fool."
Master Shoni sat at the table for a moment with his head on his chin "well. Looks
like no dinner if you don't go shopping."
Reiki stopped eating and dropped the toast "Shopping it is!"
"Finish eating your breakfast and then go get ready" Master Shoni said.
Reiki nodded his head and got back to eating, Reiki glanced at a folder that was on
the otherside of the table, Reiki bit on the toast in his mouth to free both of his hands, and
reached all the way across for the folder. Reiki grabbed and opened it looking at the files
inside.
Reiki took another bite on the toast while talking with a full mouth "Ashton Aino,
a child at the age of 16, with the power of AlluReli, amazingly talented and with a good
will. A great and strong leader."
Reiki took another bite "blah blah." Reiki put away the paper and picked out
another "Kino Minako, Age 17, Also an AlluReli, A strong and capable fighter, extremely
talented with energy use. The calm one in all types of incidents, always helpful and a good
friend."
Reiki throw the paper on the table and picked up the last one "Ritsu Makato, Age
16, Soon to be an AlluReli, her power is great and is to be a valuable power in defeating
the Sioux." Reiki glanced for more papers and saw two more "that's it only two more?"
Reiki picked up the second to last one and began reading it. "Beirsat, age 18, A true
competition for all AlluReli's and Sioux, his power is amazing as well as his calm
attitude, He is now currently a Sioux, status is constantly with in chance." Reiki picked up
the last one with the picture of a girl with blue hair, Reiki was about to read it, then Master
Shoni walked in grabbing the papers and the folders.
"hey why are you doing that for!" Reiki lifted his eyes from his empty hands and
to staring at Shoni.
"It's nothing at all!" Shoni said while putting the papers away.
Reiki eyed him suspiciously "Fine, I am going shopping." Reiki got and walked
off toward the bathroom to wash up.
*****
Ashton knocked on the door, a moment later the door opened and Kino's face
popped out.
Kino smiled "Hey Ashton, what brings you here."
"Gotta talk for a moment" Ashton said walking in.
Kino sighed "You talked to Beirsat"
Ashton looked at her oddly "How did you guess?"
"Lucky guess."
Ashton nodded "Alright, how's Ritsu doing?"
"Not bad, she's got possibilities!"
Ashton nodded again "But anyway, things are beginning to heat up, it's the worst
time for Ritsu to get involved."
Kino shaked her head slightly "If times are getting worse, then we need the help!
Ritsu can be as strong as me with training!"
"No we can't take that risk of putting her in danger."
Ritsu leaned against the wall listening to the conversation.
Kino frowned "Don't worry she'll be fine! I'll work her to be strong enough!"
"And you know what else, Beirsat some how knew she had the power of AlluReli
inside her. He told me we had better train her quick."
Kino Took a seat "Will need her help..."
Ashton took a seat also "But do we have any right to turn her world upside down?"
Kino nodded "I know...."
"Then what's there to think about, a beautiful girl like her, shouldn't have to worry
about this!"
Ritsu dropped to her knee's, Why don't they trust I can do this......Especially
Ashton doesn't seem to believe in me. Shouldn't I have my own choice in what I want.
"But....."
"No buts, It's too late, it would only corrupt her to drag her into this world of
power."
Kino lowered her head and spoke softly "Fine...I'll tell her the news."
Ritsu got up and walked into the room "I want to be an AlluReli Kino."
Ashton looked up at Ritsu "But Ritsu, why?"
Ritsu grinned "I am sure I can handle it."
Kino held her smile "It's her choice Ashton."
Ashton rolled his eye's "Great out numbered, fine, but it's gonna be tough"
Ritsu smiled "Don't worry I'll handle it.
Ritsu took a seat next to Kino while sitting across from Ashton, Ashton heard a
beep and took out a really small cellphone.
Ashton turned it on "Hello?"
A somewhat of an old voice was speaking on the other end "Ashton, I have another
AlluReli you might be interested to meet."
Ashton said with interest "Who?"
"You'll get to meet him soon enough."
Ashton nodded "Oh yeah and Kino say's she wants the panties that you stole from
her." Ritsu was laughing in the background when she heard that some old guy is stealing
female undies.
The voice panicked "What panties! Ashton did you tell her!"
Ashton laughed "No no old pervert, she found out, when she had no undies left."
"Uh...well......I have to go!"
Ashton closed his phone "later"
Ritsu wiped away a tear of laughter "Who's the pervert?"
Ashton tried to hide his smile. "He's not that bad, he's wise and intellectual, he's
also helped us as AlluReli's."
Kino nodded "Yes I don't know how we'd be doing without him, except maybe I
wouldn't have to worry about underwear shortage, but he helped us master our powers."
Ritsu nodded "Doesn't sound like such a bad guy, except for his underwear
fetish."
Ashton shaked his head "It's more then a fetish."
Kino laughed "And those were my best undies, the ones with little black pigs all
over."
Ritsu puts her hand infront of her mouth holding back her laughter. Ashton looked
at Kino awkwardly "black pigs?"
Kino grinned "You'd love'em if you saw them Ritsu."
Ritsu nodded "I probably would, I only have rainbow ones" Ashton began
sneaking away for the door while the ladies were talking about under wear. Kino awed
"Rainbow? That's cool, I got ones that have the American flag on them." Ashton leaned
against the wall with his arms and legs spread trying to be incognito. Ashton began to open
the door to go out.
Ritsu and Kino turned their heads looking at Ashton. "Where are you going?"
Ashton shaked his head "No where! I just have to go...work out!"
Kino frowned "I am making cake, don't you want to wait to eat it, Ritsu helped
me make it"
Ashton shaked his head "You cook! And her!"
Ritsu frowned "What's that supposed to mean?" while going for a piece of cake.
Ashton eye's went wide "Nothing, I got to go!" Ashton jumped out the door and
went straight for his car.
Ritsu and Kino shaked their heads "Men."
*****
Reiki looked in the mirror straightening up his clothes one last time before going
shopping, then walking out through the garage door and looking from side to side. Reiki
noticed a car to one side, and what looked like a Kawasaki cycle that was the color of a
midnight blue, but it seemed much more advanced then anything that was around here, it
was leaning against the wall to one side.
Reiki run toward it getting a closer look of it's sleek casing, and brand new wheels
which indicated it had never been used before, but without the exhaust pipe, it seemed to
have two energy exhausts.
Reiki went back inside to ask for the key's "Hey can I take the motorcycle thing
shopping?"
Master Shoni shaked his head while washing plates "No."
"why not?" Reiki protested.
"Cause you couldn't handle it, it's not your average one." Reiki cut him off "I
know that! It had one of those things that would go on the back of a shuttle!"
Master Shoni grinned "Except there only double the size of my hand in length."
Reiki nodded "Well yeah, but I am guessing that thing has some power in it, how
come it's never been used?"
"It was a project created by my company, but we dumped it out, we realized, we
can't handle machines moving at that fast of speeds."
Reiki sighed "Fine, can I have the key's to the car."
Master Shoni went in his pocket and threw out a few key's that were locked
together. Reiki made a grab for the keys. "Thanx"
Master Shoni just nodded "And don't think you can activate Kawari."
"What? Why not? It's not with these keys? And what's Kawari?"
Master Shoni nodded one more time while washing the last of the dishes "It was its
code name, before it was cancelled."
Master Shoni grinned "Nope, it uses hand ID."
Reiki turned around grumbling "Nante! That's not fair!"
"lives not fair Reiki. Why in my day..." Reiki walked off without even hearing
whatever Shoni had to say.
Reiki sighed, in my day this and that, you should do this, and that. That old man is
pushing me off the edge. Reiki walked up to the bike and kicked it, Stupid thing, why
would it only respond to some old potato like him. Reiki kicked it again, this time the
Kawari fell down making a loud racket on it's way.
The Kawari made a few beeping sounds. Reiki jumped back, wondering if it was
going to blow. Reiki just stared at it for a moment then reached over and picked it up,
balancing it up again.
Reiki looked at the infrastructure of it. If this thing is made for speed how does it
turn? With out breaking into two pieces, Reiki eyed suspiciously, but gave up on the fact
that it might be a two piece Kawari.
Now how do I turn this off. Reiki zoomed it over, noticing the control panel which
was infront of the seat which was a small screen, with buttons surrounded all over it, the
panel was going to the handles. The panel was lit up, and there was writing on the screen.
Reiki read it over "ID needed." Reiki placed his hand on the green panel, and
waited for a reaction "ID confirmed, Any previous ID's have been replaced."
Reiki got an evil grin on his face, Reiki put his hand on it again, "Umm...shut off"
The Kawari responded by shutting down, the green panel going black. Reiki
smiled "I got a new bike!"
Reiki turned around and headed back in side, peaking his head from the door and
throwing the key's at Master Shoni "Here you go, I don't need them, thanx anyway!"
Master Shoni turned around throwing the rice bowl that was in his hands into the
kitchen and catching the key's "What?"
A humming sound could be heard as an engine was starting up, loud at first then
lowering. Master Shoni placed his chin on his hand and began to ponder "Only the Kawari
makes that noise." Master Shoni closed his eyes thinking "But it needs an ID"
Master Shoni began walking to the garage door thinking. "Hmmm.....oh..yes...the
ID! I forgot to update it!"
Master Shoni broke into a run and opened the door seeing Reiki pulling out of the
drive way "Reiki wait! You need a license for that!"
Reiki let go of the gas as he was at the end of the driveway "Huh? Hey I didn't
think you'd mind, if I could get it running and take it for a test drive!"
Master Shoni gave Reiki an evil frown "It's not yours though! And it's
dangerous!"
Reiki waved his hand up and down in the air with a goofy smile on his face "No
problem!" I can handle it! I'll get the shopping done quicker!"
Reiki got his feet of the ground and back on the Kawari and pushed on the speed
going down the road, and out of Master Shoni's sight.
Master Shoni shaked his head "Someone is going to sue me for Reiki's
recklessness."
Reiki pressed the gas hitting 60, The Kawari titled up on it's back wheel then the
front wheel fell back down to the ground, and it began to pick up more speed. Reiki
pressed the throttle some more to go faster and faster down the road. Reiki leaned his
body forward onto the bike afraid that he'll be thrown back off the Kawari.
Reiki smiled, damn this thing is fast. Can't wait to put it to the test. Reiki lifted up
his head and noticed their was a sharp turn, Reiki looked down at the speed panel it was
showing at 70 mph, "oh crap how am I suppose to turn this thing" Reiki tightened his grip
on the handles and began pressuring it to turn sideways.
Reiki clung on tighter to the Kawari as it began turning and leaning down closer to
the ground. Reiki winced when he felt sparks brush against his leg, from the Kawari and
the asphalt.
The Kawari spun in a 360 turn then straightened up and the engine began to shut
down, as all the panels began to turn off also. Reiki breathed heavily, Reiki lifted his head
off the panel and looked began feeling his arm and leg, Oh I am still alive.
Reiki got off the Kawari and took a breath of air and kicked his leg into the air
stretching it a bit.
Reiki smiled at the fact that he was still in one piece "Gotta work on that turn."
Reiki got back on the Kawari and drove up, going around the speed limit, and
being extremely paranoid about going over the speed limit.
The place was a small plaza full of many herbal stores and other food places. Reiki
pulled the Kawari into a parking spot, Reiki looked all over the place noticing it's full of
old people.
"Oh man I am probably the only person here under the age of 30."
Reiki placed his hand on the panel "Kawari shut off."
Reiki placed his hands into his pockets and walked into the store.
*****
Reiki got off the Kawari and looked up at Master Shoni's house, it was the first
time he had realized how big it was, it was almost too big even in mansion standards,
much bigger then all the other houses around the area, his house was located on a coast, it
seemed like the suburbs there was green fresh cut grass on all the lands nearby, and
seemed like most of them were located on the coast, Yet Shoni's mansion, had a
particularly nice beach, that seemed to have wet and warm sand that seemed to be a
reflection of the sun. Reiki noticed his arms going heavy, remembering he was carrying
groceries with him, he walked to the door with his hands full of groceries, Reiki looked
for a way to open the door, He managed to twist it open. Reiki kicked the door open and
walked in.
"Old man I am home!" Master Shoni came jumping through the air with a kick
aimed at Reiki, Reiki ducked the groceries flying out of his hand and all over the place,
Reiki shuffled the bag around trying to catch everything back in there. Reiki thought he
had got all the groceries then a batch of eggs splash down on his head.
Reiki slitted his eye's and crossed his legs on the ground, while the eggs oozed
slowly down his face. "Old man what did you do that for??"
Master Shoni fell out of the air standing up behind Reiki, Master Shoni began to
shaked his head "Reiki you bring shame to me! You've got no discipline or respect! Why
you should always be expecting attacks like such! You are!" Reiki turned around
chucking an egg at Master Shoni's face.
Master Shoni lowered his head as the egg splattered all over his face. Reiki grinned
"You should always expect any type of attack" Reiki got off the ground setting most of
the groceries on the table.
Shoni wrinkled his nose "Your starting to reek Reiki."
Reiki was crouched down setting the fruits in the lower shelves, "Gee..I wonder
why."
"I refuse to train you, if you don't plan to keep your discipline and smell like a
fish!"
Reiki shaked his head "Okay I get the message" Reiki walked down a hall looking
all around, damn this place is big, where's the bathrooms around here, where's my room
for a matter of fact?
Shoni walked near Reiki, "Go down take a left, You'll get used to this place in a
tiny bit of time." Reiki walked down the hall, taking a left, the opening the door to the
bathroom.
Reiki tossed his clothes into the laundry basket, Then he turned on the water, Reiki
put his hand in the water to test it. Reiki walked in the shower and let the water drip from
the shower onto his sticky head, letting the egg ooze down into the drain.
Reiki took a few moments to clean off all the egg off, then he got the shampoo and
poured some through his hair. Reiki rubbed his hands through his hair mixing all the
shampoo around.
Reiki lowered his head, as a bit of soap drip down his forehead, and down his
neck, going against his chest and finally falling to the bottom. Reiki sighed, This
uncomfortable feeling hasn't left me for a while, it's been around ever since the school
attack.
Reiki leaned against the side of the shower relaxing his nerves and letting the water
run down from his head to his feet.
The bathroom creaked and someone walked in. Reiki hadn't even heard the door
opened, he was still leaning against the wall thinking to himself, recapping what had
happened.
Suddenly the shower drapes were pulled open and Master Shoni was standing
there with egg all over his face. Master Shoni put his head under the water, cleaning off
the egg off his face.
Reiki was staring at him with his eyes wide open and jaw dropped.
Master Shoni looked up at Reiki staring at his naked body covered with blotches of
soap all over. "My Reiki, you've got a quite a thing down there."
Reiki turned Red, and pulled the curtain over to cover what Shoni had been
studying.
Master Shoni smiled "Now now, don't be ashamed, you should be proud, women
go for that size."
Reiki lowered his head, and threw his arms out to grabbing onto Master Shoni's
clothing throwing him threw the door "IF you want to wash the eggs off your face! Just
use the faucet!"
Master Shoni flew out the door and fell on his head with his legs and hands
crossed, Shoni began to rub his chin. He has strength and much potential, continuing to rub
his chin.
Reiki got out of the shower a moment later wrapping a robe around him, Reiki
walked by Master Shoni staring at him "What are you doing still standing there?" Reiki
pushed him over, knocking him flat on the floor.
Reiki went in his new room to change, and master Shoni got off the ground and
went to his room.
The house was silent as night neared, Reiki was probably asleep or somewhat
preparing to sleep, and Master Shoni had left the house to do some work at his company.
*****
A shock wave was running through the ground, ripping all that's in it's way,
closely being followed by a giant explosion that seemed to erupt and only get bigger,
Reiki lifted his head rubbing his eye's, he grabbed at the clock near him clumsily. It was
still 4 in the morning, Reiki jumped off his bed, realizing he wouldn't' get any more sleep
this night, so he decided to go out and see what was going on. Reiki slipped on a pair of
jeans over his boxers and keeping the yellow shirt he was wearing.
Brilliants lights could be seen from a mile away, but Reiki had suspected they
were closer then they seem. The cold breeze hit against Reiki's arm, Reiki shivered, it
was a mild spring night, he had always enjoyed the warm spring night, but this night was
very much a different story.
Reiki began walking in that direction, still half-asleep, and it could show in his
waking. What's going on over there, especially at a time like this!?
Reiki yawned and began to jog "Who's stupid enough to have a fireworks show at
this time of night." Reiki stretched out his arms warming them up a bit.
When he had arrived near the Area, it was evident that this was no fireworks show,
a body dragged across the ground infront of Reiki, ripping through the concrete stopping
in front of Reiki, laying his back unconscious.
Ashton gasped for a breath of air as he landed back on his feet, among the rubble,
and jumped back in the air intercepting Beirsat's blade, Ashton and Beirsat hung in the air
for a moment with their blades locked together, then another flashed engulfed the whole
place, and all went bright, masking the rubble and the destruction of massive buildings that
had been caused. Ashton jumped back landing his feet once again in the rubble. Ashton
looked all around for Beirsat, but found him to be behind him. Beirsat seemed to disappear
and reappear slashing his blade down for Ashton, Ashton jumped back, and did another
jump, jumping for Beirsat, Ashton puts his blade forward to go for Beirsat's head. Beirsat
threw out an arm and caught the blade pushing it aside and smacking his blade into
Ashton's left shoulder.
Ashton squinted and fell down landing on one knee.
Beirsat grinned "your getting good Ashton, not quite good enough though."
Across from where Beirsat and Ashton were fighting, Ritsu and Kino were fighting
a bunch of Sioux.
Ritsu threw out her arms into the air, shooting out a series of energy flares at the
incoming enemy's halting them back, but not enough to inflict heavy damage.
Kino shaked her head "No no, let me show you how it's done" Kino threw out her
arms infront of her and the land shook, as a series of beams of energy shot out of her hand
throwing away the incoming Sioux, knocking them back onto the ground, left
unconscious.
Ritsu looked at the attack with amazement "Give me a little time on this, I'll get
the hang of it, anyway I don't want to hurt them that bad."
Kino smiled "Don't worry, that didn't kill them, just shocked them a bit."
Ritsu wiped away sweat from her forehead "What are we after anyway?"
Kino pointed her hand toward something in the middle of the battlefield, it was a giant
blue ball of aura, that seemed to spark constantly. "That"
"What's that?"
"Will talk about it later."
Back across the battlefield Beirsat pointed to some Sioux then motioned to the
energy, the Sioux nodded in return and began moving toward it.
Reiki's eyes went wide "No…how can it be! This halts back my plans just a bit"
Reiki began walking toward to it, not to sure of what to make of it's sudden appearance.
Ashton noticed Reiki "Reiki what are you doing here?" Ashton dropped down
infront him still holding on to his injured shoulder.
Reiki grinned ,"just getting a close look at things"
Ashton nodded "Reiki you better get out of here for your own good!" Ashton turned back
to Beirsat and said something to him, but Reiki wasn't giving it much thought.
Reiki just nodded and began walking toward the energy, Reiki changed his
expression to a serious one when he saw Raitran staring at the flowing energy.
Reiki approached closer to the energy and closer to Raitran "Well well! If it isn't
that overgrown mammoth!"
He turned around growling "Watch what you say little kid."
Reiki smiled to Raitran "What are you planning on doing with that?" Reiki crossed
his arms waiting for a response
Raitran laughed in a wicked manner "What do you care?"
Reiki spread his legs getting a better hold into the ground "Trust me, it matters
very much to me."
"Oh really kid?" Raitran dashed for Reiki smashing his hand into the ground where
Reiki was standing.
Reiki jumped back and stuck his tongue out at Beirsat "Getting a little slow, don't
you think?!"
Raitran went for another shot, Reiki jumping back again "Wow you really do suck
at this!"
"Enough of games! I will show you a move that will kill you." Raitran
disappeared out of thin air, and appeared in the air above Reiki, Reiki dropped down on to
his back, and kicked his foot out for Raitran's abdomen, throwing him a few feet away.
Reiki let a small smile on his lips beginning to enjoy this, "Come on Raitran, don't
keep me waiting all day."
His eyes went wide once again, but this time in a feel of agony as his limbs began
to refuse to obey his commands, and his eyes lighted with a silver glow, that seemed to
reflect the ever brighter glow of the ball of aura.
Raitran grabbed Reiki by the head and slung him into the aura, he began laughing
"Kid there's no way you can survive that, pure energy flowing through your body, your
dead."
He had wanted to scream for him to stop, that he shouldn't have done that, yet it
was too late, and Reiki was feeling his fears come true.
*****
Ashton grabbed on to his injured arm feeling his warm blood begin to seep down
it, Beirsat grinned, and made another attack at Ashton, pushing him closer to the
wall.
Ashton flipped back resting his foot on the wall, to use it as a way of rebound an
attack on Beirsat, At the moment he was about to execute the attack, Beirsat
appeared in front of Ashton in the air, he intercepted Ashton by throwing a punch
into his gut in the wall, "Ashton you've got a long way to go, till your at my
level." Beirsat threw another punch digging Ashton deeper into the wall. Ashton
groaned in pain not being able to do much in this confined wall.
Beirsat grinned "You'll thank me for this later."
Ashton stopped moving and closed his eyes. Beirsat made another punch at
Ashton's gut, smacking him deeper in the wall, a moment later Ashton screamed a
command and a giant energy blast flew out of the hole that Ashton was stuck in
throwing Beirsat back, knocking him down on the floor.
Ashton's body just fell to the ground, and didn't move, his body was limp, Ashton
could feel his energy leaving him with every breath, he was having a hard time
holding himself together.
Ashton lifted his head off the concrete looking for Beirsat, he turned his
head to his left and noticed that Beirsat was on the ground, but not unconscious, for he was
beginning to recover. Ashton twisted his head to the other side, and noticed a form falling
on top of the energy.
Ashton focused in his eyes trying to look through the blood and noticed it was
Reiki. Ashton mastered his strength to get up , But could only get up on one knee. Kino
ran to Ashton's side, "Are you feeling alright", Ritsu followed behind, helping Ashton up.
Kino grabbed on to one arm holding him up while Ritsu got the other arm
Ashton lifted up his head "Reiki is trapped in the energy…aura.."
"That energy is going to tear him apart" Kino sighed
Ritsu put a frown on her face "So? We have to save Reiki!"
Kino nodded "We should, who knows what that energy can do to him, we don't
want him to die"
They all headed in the direction of the energy, Ashton was in being assisted by
Ritsu and Kino in walking, Ashton pulled his arms and walked forward, he threw out his
arms blocking off Ritsu and Kino's path.
"What's wrong Ashton" Kino said.
A moment later Beirsat showed up infront of him. "What are you trying to do
Ashton?"
Ashton ignored what he said "We have to save him."
Beirsat shaked his head "No, you'd never survive"
"Why do you care so much?" Ritsu asked.
Kino put her hand on Ritsu's shoulder "Long history."
"That energy would toast any of us if were to come near it, we have to contain it
first, but it's way too unstable to control, it's only a matter of minutes before it's energy
will try to control itself."
Kino walked closer to the energy "Poor Reiki...."
Ritsu nodded "He's a bastard…but the sort of bastard you learn to love..."
Beirsat motioned his arms for the Sioux to disband, All the Sioux began to
disappear running off from the energy before it would cause a massive explosion.
Beirsat walked off, glaring Raitran, Raitran only smiled and waved to Beirsat.
"How did you ever become a Sioux?"
Raitran grinned "It was an art I had inhabited since birth."
Beirsat smiled "Oh yes, I remember your story of your luck."
Raitran nodded "We should be heading off"
"My thoughts exactly, and Ashton, Kino and Ritsu, you all should be heading off."
Kino lifted up her head "Can you feel that?"
"What is it?" Ritsu asked looking in Kino's direction.
Beirsat lowered his head and sighed "That's why I said leave!"
Ritsu looked at Beirsat "What do you mean mate?"
Beirsat "Were at the school to prevent this! For once were not the bad guys!"
Kino muttered under her breath "True Sioux."
Ashton just cocked his head "What? They're make believe they can't truly exist"
"We shall see then, won't we?" Beirsat said.
Kino lowered her head "I am not feeling very well, I think I'll go home."
Ritsu smiled "I'll take you home, make sure everything is alright, I am not feeling
so well either."
Beirsat nodded "Hurry up then, before it shows, Raitran make sure they arrive
home safely. Ashton and I will deal with it." Ritsu and Kino walked out of the field and
headed toward Kino's house.
Ashton smiled "Just like old times"
"Don't get too clung on to the old memories Ashton" Beirsat said with a half smile
on his lips.
Ashton looked at Beirsat "What are we going to do for Reiki?"
Beirsat shrugged "I got no idea, and what's with him being everywhere we are lately."
Ashton gave Beirsat a blank look "As if I should know, anyway what would attract
a True Sioux to this power?"
"It is said when true power is released, and the greed of man will come with in the
path, the Sioux shall awaken to reclaim it's power, and destroy all those within their
path's."
Ashton nodded listening to him "So? We can just let it get the power and be gone."
Beirsat shaked his head "And you know what the True Sioux will do?"
"No."
"If it reaches that power, then its goal is complete, it has achieved what it desires, The next
step is death."
"And Suicide would be the way it'll go, the energy being let loose by it...will be
too great, and kill us all, due to the recent energy it absorbed."
Ashton nodded and put his finger to his lips "Quiet I hear something" Both of them
looked up to see a figure leaping onto a top of a nearby building, and peaked up it's head,
searching for something.
"Found our target." Ashton motioned up at the building.
Beirsat nodded in return, "Don't choke up now Ashton." Beirsat made a move on
toward it.
It stopped staring into the empty air, and began walking to the edge of the building,
sliding down the wall in an uncanny fashion. It took a place infront the energy aura that
was floating above, it put out an arm forward, drawing the energy from it by a little strand
of air. It gave an odd sigh of pleasure, then was cut off by Beirsat's blade in the way of the
energy draw.
The creature stood like a man, taller then Ashton and Beirsat, it was wearing black
clothing that made it seem to blend with in the night, and the energy showed no reflection
off it as it did off Ashton and Beirsat.
It growled and grabbed on to Ashton's shoulder as such speed that Ashton didn't
realize he was in the corner. Beirsat was quick to realize the attack, and jabbed his blade
for the True Sioux's Mid-waist while it was vulnerable, The True Sioux Turned around
and grabbed on to the sword raising it from it's tip along with Beirsat throwing him and
the blade aside.
Beirsat let go of his blade that had flung back into a wall, Beirsat dropped down to
one knee making a sweep to knock the Sioux off it's legs, It had jumped over him,
bringing down one clawed hand for Beirsat's leg. Beirsat flung out his arm catching the
Sioux's claw and getting a firm hold on it. Beirsat dropped on his back, shoving his foot
into the Sioux's get and flipping him back into a nearby wall.
It moved up sluggishly looking around for Beirsat, but he was obviously not
anywhere around.
Beirsat grinned to himself, "Now is my chance" he dropped on top of the Sioux
bashing his foot into his face. The Sioux shaked it's head and grabbed on to Beirsat's
neck, beginning to slam him into the wall.
Beirsat punched it in it's gut, trying to free himself loose from it's grip. The Sioux
in turn just continued pounding him into the wall with more force. Beirsat dropped his
head realizing he can't keep this up any longer.
The Sioux let go of Beirsat letting him fall to the ground. It turned his head back to
the energy to realize there was something trapped within the blue silver energy. It drew
out it's hands, revealing sharp claws at the tips, it walked toward the energy ripping apart
it's perfect circular form going within it to remove whatever is inside.
The Sioux grabbed on to Reiki from within the energy, digging it's claws into his
chest, almost revealing through Reiki's back from the depth, then it threw Reiki out of it's
radius, making a hissing sound as his body slid against the energy. Reiki body landed
against a nearby wall, his body had began to stain the ground with a red fluid, that seemed
almost brownish in the reflection of the moon.
The energy began to flow in a circular path, leaving an empty middle, energy
began to squirm glowing brighter, then going dull once again. Then finally the energy
burst in one last blast, only remains of it could be soon as the flash had disappeared from
it's imbalance.
Scatters of the energy could be seen around Reiki's body, floating through his
wounds and scars, beginning to slowly fill them in, Reiki's body spasemed at the force of
the energy flowing within his body.
The True Sioux shifted it's head searching for now the missing energy. It peeked
it's head at Reiki in suspicion that he was somewhat behind it.
It eyed Reiki, giving him a growl. It had felt threatened that he was somehow
stealing the energy it desired, The Sioux made a fist, and it began to turn a dark red, as
spikes formed of fire in it's hands. It shot them out in Reiki's direction, flying through
Reiki's chest, and colliding into the wall.
Reiki's hand grasped in a fist, then let loose again. The energy surrounding Reiki
had disappeared and no sign of the energy formation could be found.
Reiki's body gave another twitch, lifting up his head, then letting it drop again.
The true Sioux jumped in the air, floating while keeping an eye on Reiki to see if it
had finished him.
Reiki's body twitched once again, he lifted up his, moving his arms behind him
along the rubble, trying to force himself to get up. Reiki opened then closed his eye's
again leaning against the wall for support
The energy began to seep into his wounds, beginning to remove the blood stained
marks, in exchange creating new skin, and rehealing his wounded body.
Reiki looked around him at Beirsat and Ashton's bodies. Reiki shifted his head
once more staring at the Sioux hovering in the air. The Sioux's expression had changed
into a darker one with flaring red eyes.
Reiki switched his gaze back upon Ashton and Beirsat, then back to the Sioux.
……must….help…..destroy…them….all….
He kept a straight face while staring into the Sioux's eyes, letting a smile spread on
his lips. The True Sioux in turn scowled at the smile emitted by Reiki
Reiki continued to switch his gaze from the True Sioux to Ashton and Beirsat.
Must...help them.....
He looked up and fixed his gaze on the Sioux, with a smile spreading on his face.
The true Sioux seemed to scowl, and dropped down to the ground, standing a few feet
from Reiki with a glowing Aura around their surroundings.
Reiki gave a cold stare into the Sioux's eyes. The Sioux moved it's arm out and
three bolts of fire flamed on the tips of it's fingers, it motioned it's arm again and shot
them toward Reiki's upper waist with increasing momentum.
Reiki grabbed on to one of them, while sliding barely past the others, he flung the
one back at the Sioux, The Sioux maneuvered in the air avoiding it. The Sioux Growled
and shot more in Reiki's direction. Reiki sprang up in the air, pulling his legs up against
his thigh, while the blasts flew under him, The True Sioux lifted up both arms and began
shooting a stream of blasts following in Reiki's trail as he moved across the concrete.
Reiki made another jump a few cutting through the remains of his pants, Reiki
made a grab for one of the fire shards, and flung it back at the Sioux. The Sioux sneaked
to the side avoiding the attack, Reiki grabbed the opportunity to make an attack on the
Sioux while he was distracted, Reiki made one jump in the air, flying for the Sioux and
shoving a fist in his face. Reiki did a flip after the impact of the hit, rebounding off the
Sioux and on to a nearby wall, then landing back on a top of a demolished building that
stood no higher then 10 feet.
He gazed his eye's across the plane looking for the True Sioux, as a shot fled in
his way, flinging Reiki on to the ground knocking dust all around while the building began
to collapse into nothing. Reiki used his hand as support to get up, when the Sioux showed
up in his face with what resembled a grin, and smacked Reiki into the concrete once again.
Dust flew all over covering the whole view, when the dust began to settle again, the Sioux
could no longer see Reiki's body. But felt a tap on it's shoulder, It turned around to attack
who ever was behind it, only to receive a kick in the back..
It growled, while energy glowed around it, and released into the ground causing a
massive explosion blowing it and Reiki away. Reiki flew back onto the ground, while the
Sioux was flung across the other corner.
Beirsat twitched his arm, looking up with squinting eyes, What's going on…how
can there be battling…no it's finally happened…
He shot his eyes unable to keep them open for long.
Reiki sprang up, only to be greeted by the Sioux infront of him, Reiki grabbed at
his sides, searching for something, only to realize it was not there. The Sioux flung out a
claw for Reiki's throat, Reiki grabbed on to it's arm, squeezing it tightly, The Sioux flung
out it's other arm, grabbing to Reiki's neck.
Beirsat lifted his eyes open again to see two figures fighting it out, seeming at a
pause with a decent grip on each other. "but.." Beirsat let his eye's close shot not able to
keep them open any longer. The Sioux's body twisted as Reiki threw a punch into it's gut
trying to lose it's hold on his neck. Reiki threw a few more letting the Sioux fall back.
The Sioux kicked Reiki away, it got up at a slow pace obviously tiring out,
making a dash for Reiki while readying it's claws for the oncoming attack. It flung it's
claw at Reiki's thighs. Reiki jumped in turn avoiding it. And landed hitting the Sioux back
on the ground.
Reiki threw his hands in the air, his hands were surrounded by a red aura, Reiki
grabbed a piece of rubble melting it quite easily with the aura. Reiki jumped on top of the
Sioux, smashing its hands into it's gut letting the aura seek into it. The True Sioux
growled as the impact made a sizzling sound, as pieces of its body began to peel off and
fall to the side while Reiki's hands continued burning through the Sioux, finally beginning
to burn deep inside the True Sioux. Reiki threw another punch digging deeper into the
burn, the True Sioux only howled in return as it's blood splattered all over the place, and
sizzled within the aura.
Reiki got off the Sioux, getting back on his feet. Reiki looked at his bloodied
hands, full of blood. Reiki grabbed the True Sioux from its collar, and wiped his hands on
its body. Reiki smacked the Sioux's limb body into the ground, making one last crack, as
the Sioux's body seized to move.
The True Sioux's body began to shiver up, within seconds after, the ground began
to crack, starting from the Sioux and going around in a 20 foot radius, Reiki cocked his
head up trying to figure out what's the Sioux's last plan of action. It's body began to reek
of a black sort of energy, that then everything turned black within the fiery explosion onset
by the Sioux. Reiki dug his feet into the ground trying not to get dragged away and
engulfed in it, but as the pressure increased Reiki was caught in the impact, Reiki clenched
his fist, falling to his knees.
*****
She slid the window open, and jumped in, she looked around to make sure she was
unnoticed. She gave a nod to herself and moved into Reiki's medical room, he was under
intensive care, his condition was worsening or so that's what's being said. She took a seat
next to Reiki and gave him a brief glance. She smiled "And they said no visiting hours."
She drew out an object that gave a faint glow as she seemed to try keeping it down, she
placed it next to Reiki's bed, running her slender fingers along the side of it, and let go of
it letting it land on his bed as it lost it's glow that it had a few moments ago. She went
back into the window giving it a look out, "package delivered".
"Well done" the voice said in response, as she jumped out the window.
Master Shoni was pacing the grounds of his house, going back and forth, staring at
the ground intently. It seemed as if his tracks were burning into the ground. "I should have
never taken Reiki in."
Ritsu looked up while wrapping one last bandage around Ashton's head "it's not
your fault, Reiki's just irresponsible."
Ashton nodded "yeah Shoni, anyway I am sure he'll be fine." Ashton made sure
the bandages were tight around his head.
Ritsu sighed and clipped the last bandage on Ashton's head and took a seat. I hope
Reiki's all right…. What if needs someone to be by his side?
….No he's a jerk, he brings this on to himself…
Ritsu looked up worried, "What if he doesn't recover, and never wakes out of the
comma?"
Master Shoni stopped pacing around and looked away from the carpet. "I am sure
he will recover.."
Kino came from the kitchen with tea and a smile on her face. "You guys can stop
worrying, I am sure Reiki is fine."
Ritsu smiled and nodded "Yea he's a survivor, one of our teachers has been
plotting to kill Reiki for five years now." She gave a bigger smile, "Always blew up in his
face"
Kino looked at Ritsu while taking a sip of her tea, "What? He's sure got a way
with people. How about you Ashton feeling well?"
Ashton rubbed his head "It's hurting, but I'll be fine."
Kino brushed her hair to the side and bent over to take a seat, a creaking sound was
hear, as a shadow walked in the room, it was Beirsat who had walked into Shoni's living
room, Beirsat was wearing white Khaki's and tucked in shirt, and his hands in his pockets.
Master Shoni stopped his pacing one more time "How many times do I have to
say! Use the door Beirsat!"
Ashton jumped from his seat and on to the couch "What do you want?"
Master Shoni motioned Ashton to sit down, "Calm down boy! I invited him here!"
Ashton looked at master Shoni with open eye's "Wha…" Ashton fell over from the
couch "Ouch my head…"
"I believe he can help us, and can explain what was happening last night." Master
Shoni continued to pace.
"So that's why you wanted me to come." Beirsat nodded "If you didn't catch on
yet, we were trying to prevent a True Sioux from emerging and completing its life cycle"
Beirsat walked off in Kino's direction. "That's about it, what else do you need to know
Shoni?"
Master Shoni sighed "He will never learn."
Kino nodded "Things are never the same. Are they."
Beirsat walked toward Kino and smiled, taking her hand into his, and kissing her
hand tenderly. "You're looking lovely as ever."
Kino gave him an evil grin "Weren't you leaving?"
Beirsat nodded "I am!" Beirsat walked off out of Master Shoni's house.
Ashton got up "Well I gotta get to school!"
Ashton's face turned red. How am I going to stay awake doing class…on a
Monday…when I've had only 2 hours asleep…and that was when I was unconscious….
Oh…no…
Ashton turned pale. Master Shoni looked at him and waved his hand infront of his
face "You feeling alright?"
Ashton nodded "Yeah I am feeling fine…except.."
Kino got up and stretched her hands in the air "I'll drive you to school Ritsu."
"Thanx Kino." Ritsu motioned as she walked out the door, Ritsu turned to Shoni
"If you stop by at the hospital, please give Reiki my regards."
Master Shoni nodded, "your forgetting something Ritsu"
"yes?" She stopped walking and turned around "What's that Mr. Shoni?"
"You should give Reiki…a kiss to make recover!" Shoni puckered up his lips
"give it to me and I'll pass it on to him!"
"Let's go Ritsu, don't listen to him." Kino pulled Ritsu by the arm, Ritsu just
stared blankly at him "what's with him?'
Master Shoni nodded them all farewell and continued to pace the floor wondering
for Reiki's well sake.
The End.
