Riding on Black Wings
Chapter I: Family Crest
Disclaimer: If I did own Sakura Wars, or Taisen or something. I'd make all the games for EACH console…… how will I understand when one's on Sega, the other on dreamcast, and the other on PS2! And geez…… can't they ever make it for gamecube? That's the only one I have!
A/N: yah, if you know me I tend to like…… write supa long author's note… ehehehe it's fun. Anwyays, note that I've only seen 2 DVDs of Sakura Wars, and never seen/played ANYTHING else. Ah…… I don't even know what the Hoshigumi thing is! Forgive me. This is based off all the info I know about so uh…… yah.
Yes, if you figures out, this is a fic on Orihime Soletta……. I decided (in my sleep, don't ask) that you guys get to pick Orihime's lovaaaa. Yeah, you see, I have Ohgami in mind…… and like, yeah… But you guys tell me, and I'll do what the majority says. But since I'm the author, my vote for Ohgami is 2! Ahahahaha, I'm like one, for the price of 2! Yay! (I-wish-they-included-more-MEN-in-the-series :cries:) I'm not a fan of shoujou-ai... so like... ... I don't know... if majority takes a girl... Not garantee... :cough:menolikeyyuri:cough: Not to offend anyone, of course I find it fine for people to like that. I personally am not with it. And no, not against it either.
"I got it!" Sakura's koubu swiftly flew behind the cursed phoenix demon, and pierced through its heart with her long katana. It gave a deafening screech before dropping towards the ground in defeat. The young swords-mistress smirked, bathed in confidence after striking the demonic cluster first.
"Sakura!"Ohgami gasped as he finally caught up, "Ack, never do that……"
"Eep! What are these things!" Iris shortly arrived after as a crow-like monster flew pass the small french girl's machina.
The rest of the crew had also come into range and slowly approached the discarded pink, white, and yellow koubus.
"Geez, what made you so anxious about all this Sakura!" Sumire spat and destroyed a demon.
"Hey, not like you ever go after the spotlight too cactus woman!" The red headed woman taunted Sumire.
"Stop calling me that!"
Kouhran sighed at the bickering duo over the newly installed steam, voice intercom. But before she even tried to try and shut them up, the most deafening screech alarmed the Flower Division that the master has arrived.
A large shadow had formed under everyone's feet as it swiftly rised into the air and took shape of a giant phoenix. The demon spread its large wings open, causing several gusts, pushing the koubus back. Its crimson red eyes narrowed as it surveyed its opponents. Suddenly lunging for Reni, Orihime flew ahead of her and shot a beam of fushia energy.
The lead dark phoenix cawed in agony as it took several paces back and snapped its beak wildly.
"Orihime!" Reni gasped as she gazed at the determined, yet mysteriously stressed Italian, "Isn't this……" but she was shortly interrupted as the magneta colored koubu shot forward, getting ready for the kill, "ORIHIME DON'T!"
But everything was too late, the stubborn girl had taken the phoenix head-on as it rose to full height once again.
"What's going on!" Maria yelled.
"Well whatever it is, it ain't good!" Kanna narrowed her eyes and was about to blast off but a long sworded mechanical hand had shot out in front of her.
"Don't…… this seems to be something important to Orihime……" Sakura's determined voice calmed the redheaded tomboy, "I know this seems odd, but I guess destiny would determine her desires. She did seem quite breath-taken once the dark phoenix demons appeared."
Everyone remained silent as they watched Orihime battle the phoenix, for some unknown cause. All this, unknown, except to the German girl who seemed as restless as ever. She couldn't take it anymore, not after what the Italian girl revealed to her years ago.
"THE FLOWER DIVISION WORKS IN A TEAM!" Reni suddenly burst out of anger, "I DON'T SEE A TEAM!" her power mode was up to the fullest and her boosters to the max, in a blink of an eye, she had joined Orihime.
"RENI!" Iris tried to reason with the sudden outburst of the German, but without success, "I don't get it! What's going on!"
Ohgami sighed and shook his head, "Reni's right we should be-"
"We can't…… I…… I promised her……" Everyone gasped at Sakura's confession, "I promised her that no one would help her destroy this demon, right before we launched into the sky……"
"But why!"
"Ohgami, it's not that I don't want to work as a team…… I really do wanna go out there and help her. But she told me that it was really important to her…… and her family shibboleth…… That's all she had said."
Slowly panicking, he watched the battle unroll itself into a violent clash between demon and human.
"Orihime!" Reni desperately tried to bring her back to the Flower Division whom were still in the midst of smaller phoenix demons, "Stop it! This isn't the way!"
"I'll show HIM! How DARE he send our family's crest after me!" and with those words, she shot out another concentrated beam of energy, this time, much stronger than the last. Finally dashing once more to the fallen phoenix, for the first time in her life, she had charged her mechina's bulky arm with spiritual energy and knocked the demon down in a single blow with a punch, "I'll show him how much I'm WORTH!"
Reni took her lance and swung it, killing two small dark phoenix, trying to aid their master. She shook in rage as she never had done before. Why did she feel so angry? Was it the fact that she knew that her longest known, and first friend was in great danger? Maybe even on the verge of dying……
"ORIHIME!" Reni's deafening scream filled the air as everyone turned around to see what has happened.
The magneta koubu the half Italian girl used to control layed motionless, on the scarred ground from the battle. It bared many scars, scratches and dents, but there seemed to be no gap, where a demon's beak would pierce through. The black phoenix itself, layed dead, lying in it's own puddle of black blood. Its once, beautiful fiery tail-feathers seemed to be gone, ripped-out, leaving a bald spot of exposed, if not visible, slightly bleeding flesh.
All the other phoenix demons disappeared into thin air, leaving piles of black dust, blowing gently in the soft zephyrs.
"Orihime-san!" cried many of the members as they finally noticed what was happening.
Ohgami gaped as he hastily got out of his pure-white koubu, rushing to the immobile machina. He brushed off the powdery ground dust off the opening and released the it almost instantly.
The teenage girl lay limply, bound to the command seat. She seemed to be unconscious, though seemed to be still slightly grasping the command handle.
'Oh dear god, don't let her be dead!' the captain unstrapped the unconscious girl and pulled her slowly out. Ohgami gently laid her on the soft, dusty ground and examined for any major wounds. Nothing seemed to be out of the ordinary, just a few bruises, and cuts, nothing more. The others came running shortly after, in which Reni seemed to be more worried.
"So! She alive!" Kanna abruptly stopped, sending a few chunks of dirt into Ohgami's face.
"G-uh hey! Watch it…… Her pulse seems slower than normal, but I think it's fine……"
"Don't you get it!" Everyone turned to see Reni. She clenched her fists, "She's NOT alright……"
"Reni?" Iris, confused of Reni's sudden behavior asked, "Please tell us what's going on!"
She sighed, calming herself down, despite knowing the horrible facts that were happening before her own eyes, "That black phoenix…… was Orihime Soletta……"
