W.I.T.C.H.
The Ninja Dragon Chronicles: The Awakening
Chapter 1:
"We meeting at the Silver Dragon?" asked a guy with spikey red hair.
"Yeah it seems the oracle wants to speak with you." a girl with the same color hair answered.
"This has been a wild week so far, I mean I find out that I was taken from my real family and that I have a sister, who also happens to be a super hero of sorts." the spikey head boy laughed.
"Same here, what was it like living in a ninja temple for sixteen years?" the girl asked as they walked down the street.
"Well the daily training was rigorous and would test my physical and mental limits daily." "Next the man who raised me would train me in different ninpo techniques which would be similar to the elemental powers of you and the guardians." The boy explained rounding the corner.
"So you can use elemental powers?" the girl asked looking over at the boy.
"Yes and No Ninpo and the elements are similar but still different."
"Ok how are they different?"
"Well Ninpo use the Spiritual Wave Forms around and with in the wielder." "Where as you have to be born with the power of the elements."
"Ok hear we are Ryu." the girl said opening the door and going in to the restraunt."
"So Will what is this Kandracar like?"
"It is hard to describe but it has it's own beauty to it."
"Ok sis I'll just have to wait and see I guess." Ryu laughed.
"Yep." will joined in as they descended to the basement to meet up with the other guardians.
"Bout time." Cornelia huffed.
"Take a chill pill corny, Ryu is still getting used to being here in heather field." Irma smiled as Will and her brother came into the room.
"No fighting guys." Taranee asked looking between Irma and Cornelia.
"Besides if the oracle wants to meet him maybe it means we have a new team mate." Hay Lin smiled.
"Don't get ahead of your self grand daughter." Yan Lin smiled .
"Okay, but it would still be cool we could get to see a real ninja in action."
"Will is she always this hyper?" Ryu asked in a hushed voice.
"Yeah but she is one of the best friends a person could have." Will responded with a smile looking over at the hyper active Asian.
"From just meeting her the few times I have she has a big heart." Ryu smiled at his sister."
"The one called Cornelia acts like a pain but she seems to be a good person too."
"She was like that when we first became friends but you have her pegged to she just doesn't like to show it to many people."
"Ok Will when ever your ready lets not keep the council waiting." Yan Lin smiled.
"Ready bro?"
"As ready as I'll ever be."
Ryu watched as Will used the necklace she called the heart of Kandracar to make a tear in the air.
"Now that's cool." Ryu said as he watched his sister and the others started going through.
"You gonna go or just stand there looking at the fold in space." Irma joked standing next to Ryu.
"What, oh uh sorry even training at the ninja temple I didn't see anything like this." Ryu sputtered out while Irma laughed and went through the fold.
"Smooth Ryu real smooth." Ryu thought as he went through the portal.
"Welcome Guardians." The Oracle said as he came to greet them.
"Good to see you as well." Yan Lin smiled as she hugged the Oracle.
"Well where is your brother Will?" The Oracle asked.
"He should be through soon." Irma laughed as she came out of the fold.
As this left Irma's lips Ryu came falling through the fold doing a face plant.
"Are you sure he is a Ninja?" Cornelia asked.
"Oh yeah I am making one hell of a good impression on these people." Ryu thought to himself.
"Don't worry about it Ryu, there not judging you." Taranee spoke to Ryu's mind.
"What the hell was that you Taranee?" Ryu thought looking over at the dark skinned girl
"I guess we forgot to tell him that Taranee can read minds." Hay Lin Smiled figuring out the reason for Ryu's bewildered look.
"Sorry Ryu like you said on the way to the Silver Dragon it's has been a wild week." Will smiled walking over to Ryu.
"No worry's Will." Ryu smiled as he dusted himself off and walking over and bowing to the Oracle. "Well you requested to see me so may I inquire as to why?"
"Yes that would be best cause time is of the essence."
"What do you mean Oracle?" Irma asked.
"Come with me to the scrying pool and I will show you."
"This is what I wanted to show Ryu." The oracle said waving his arm over the pool as it brought forth what looked to be a temple.
"Does this look familiar?" The Oracle questioned.
"It's a Ninja Temple." Ryu stated looking at the image.
"Yes Ryu but does it not seem familiar to you?"
"No way it looks just like The Hayabusa Ninja Temple." Ryu answered.
"You said it looks like but it isn't your ninja temple." Will asked concern becoming evident in all of the guardians.
"Yes it is almost an exact replica of the ninja temple I trained at but the aura of this temple is dark, evil." Ryu answered again but anger showing in his tone.
"Ryu are you ok." Irma being the first to walk up to Ryu.
"Irma stay back." Yan Lin stated grabbing the girl by the arm and pulling her back.
"What the why for?" Cornelia asked looking at Will's brother.
"That Temple, That piece of shit Temple is still standing!" Ryu roared as the spirit energy in him flared to life surrounding him in a blue aura.
"Whoa, Ryu calm down!" Will shouted to her brother.
Slowly but surely the aura around Ryu began to fade till it could no longer be seen.
"What was that all about?" Taranee asked as Yan Lin finally let them approach the Young Ninja.
"Sorry about that sis, but that temple is a dangerous place even for the guardians."
"What do you mean Ryu?" Irma asked as they were waiting for him to answer.
"It is the Temple of an Ancient Demon, A Demon that was banished over a millennia ago by the greatest of shinobi." Ryu started explaining in an almost cold voice.
"So what can you tell us about this demon?" The Oracle asked joining the conversation.
"Not much but what I do know is that if fully awakened this and every other world is doomed."
"But you said a great ninja beat it before." Cornelia stated.
"No I said the Greatest of Ninja beat it and he had the power of the Dragon at his command."
"What about you?" "Can you fight it?" Will asked still afraid of what had just transpired.
"I don't know if I could even approach it I am strong but I am not a match for a demon that could only be banished by the great shinobi and the power of the dragon." " All I know is some Ninpo and Dragon style Ninjitsu." Ryu stated eye's still focused on the Temple in the scrying pool.
"He don't worry Ryu if we all work together we can beat this demon." Hay Lin smiled.
"Wrong Hay Lin, there's no way in hell I am letting any of you go near that place." Ryu snapped looking over at the guardians
"Hey chill Ryu." Irma snapped back at Ryu.
"All of you calm down." The Oracle spoke getting everyone's attention.
"Sorry you all." Ryu said turning back to the pool.
"It's ok Ryu, I get that your not used to fighting beside others but…" Hay Lin started.
"It's not that Hay Lin, Master Hayate told me the Legend of this demon years ago I don't remember it all but I remember that anyone bearing the power of the elements could not enter that temple." Ryu turned back to the others as he explained. "If any of you try and enter that temple it will turn your own powers in on you and tear you apart." Ryu finished looking at he guardians.
"You kidding right?" Cornelia asked in shock.
"No I wish I was." I will contact Master Hayate to see if he can send me the Scroll about the demon there may be away to remove the curse on the temple."
"Well what can we do till then?" Taranee asked.
"I am gonna go scout that temple." Ryu said all of a sudden.
"What the no way your going alone." Will stated looking at her brother.
"Yeah if what you said about that temple is true we can't let you go." Irma added.
"You guardians can't enter yet, but I can I wasn't born with the power of an element. So I am immune to the curse."
"He speaks the truth Will, and we need some Idea of what to expect from the demon." The Oracle spoke walking over to Ryu. "But like they said you won't go alone." The Oracle smiled.
"What do you mean." Ryu and Will spoke at the same time.
"This Ryu there is a reason you were named that." "I'll explain that later so till then accept this." The Oracle said as he motioned to one of the Council of Kandracar. "This was left with the last oracle and was passed to me with the message that when the Ninja Ryu came to Kandracar I was to give it to him."
"But there's no way you could have know that I would be named Ryu."
"That is true normally we can see every thing from here but the temple in which you lived was cutoff from Kandracar so we could not see into it so we could only speculate as to when the next Ryu would show up."
"What do you mean the next Ryu?" Irma asked.
"As I have said that is a story for another time for now Ryu take what is yours The Heart of The Dragon and The Dragon Sword these artifacts are passed down among the Hayabusa Ninja Clan to The strongest of the Clan the one who would bare the name Ryu Hayabusa, that is you. "Your powers are now complete and your power alone equal to the guardians and when you are all together the guardians can obtain an even greater strength." The Oracle explained and motioned for the guardians to step forward.
"I'll start with you Will keeper of The Heart of Kandracar and wielder of Quintessence you and your brother together can summon the Powerful Dragon Ragnarok, this dragon like you will use lighting for an attack is immune to Air but weak against water.
"Next Irma Guardian of Water when you and Ryu work together you can summon the Dragon Wyrm, this Dragon like you Irma attacks with water is immune to Fire but weak against Air."
"Taranee together you and Ryu summon the mighty Wyvern Dragon, Once again this Dragon attacks with fire is immune to earth and is weak against water."
"Cornelia Yours and Ryu's dragon summoning is the mighty Agni, Like you it power is of the earth, immune to lightning but weak against fire."
"Hay Lin with Ryu's help you can summon the Kouraki Dragon, it's power is your as well Air, is immune to water but is weak against fire."
"Ryu with the help of the Guardians you can summon the Kaiser Dragon. It's power is great but also very dangerous too, if you summon it out of anger it could tear you very soul away from you." It's power is non elemental so it is not weak against them but nor does it have an advantage over them. It is as strong as you will is Ryu." The oracle finished as he handed Ryu the Sword and Heart.
"This is so much to take in but with all that I have learned way may just have a fighting chance against this demon." Ryu smiled as he turned to the others.
"Yeah that right can't no one stop all of us not even some decrepit old demon." Irma smirked stepping up beside Ryu.
"We have taken on some pretty mean tasks before, and I'm not about to back down now." Cornelia stated go over to Irma and Ryu.
"Phobos and Narissia both learned not to play with fire and so will this demon." Taranee said as flames danced in her eye's.
"Alright new adventure here we come." Hay Lin smiled
"Were you go Ryu I go." Will stated walking up to her brother.
"Thanks all of you." Ryu smiled as he placed the dragons heart around his next and let it absorb the Dragon sword.
"Well what do we do now?" Will asked.
"Now I contact Master Hayate for the scrolls I need then we come up with a plan." Ryu stated as he looked at the pool again. "But we still need to try and explore that Temple a little any thing we can get will be useful.
"I don't want you going in there alone Ryu." Will said putting a hand on her brother shoulder.
"We don't have a choice not unless you know some really good swords men willing to go with me."
"Lets go ask Caleb if he'll help." Hay Lin piped up only to get a glare from Cornelia.
"Who's Caleb?" Ryu asked.
"A good friend of ours and Captain of the Meridian Royal Guard."
Taranee explained.
"And Boyfriend of you own little corny here." Irma smirked.
"No way guys, Caleb has enough on his mind with out adding this to it." Cornelia started.
"Sorry Corny but we need his help." Will said cutting her off.
"Besides it affects Meridian as well as earth and all other worlds didn't you listen to what Ryu said." Hay Lin added.
"Ok, ok, your right lets go besides it would be nice to see Elyon again." Cornelia stated.
"Alright it is decided to Meridian." Will said as she made a fold.
"I'll be going back to the Silver Dragon granddaughter you all be careful ." Yan Lin stated as the Oracle made a fold to take her back.
"Well lets go." Ryu said as they started going through the fold.
