And I've finally gotten it ready! This one's got a bit of humor in it, mainly because the last few have been kinda heavy. Anyway, I'll let you guys read. Here's the last part in the Kayle arc.

Chapter 2

Ryo uncomfortably shifted in her seat as her shoulder blades ached and itched.

"Do you know why this is so uncomfortable?" Ryo grumbled.

A soft laugh answered her.

"You know why," Kayle's voice chuckled, "After all, you are a creature of the skies now,"

"You still didn't tell me how these things work,"

"Because I'm not teaching you to fly just yet. Soon…but for the moment, you need to hone your skills as a swordswoman and a healer mage. You have powerful magic, even though it isn't much,"

"You sure know how to make me feel better," Ryo growled with a sarcastic edge.

"This is what I like about you, Ryo," Kayle laughed, "You do not hold back on the truth,"

Ryo gave a sigh as she squirmed again in her seat. School had started not long after Ryo had recovered from the surgery required to become Chosen.

She'd confronted her mother about lying to her and Rikari all this time…and her mother wasn't too happy that Ryo had found out, much less that Kayle had Chosen her. She had told her that she wanted to keep the girls away from that place as much as possible, but now, with Ryo about to be spending most of her time there…there was no more room for secrets in the family.

Kikoro decided to help Ryo and Rikari both with their own abilities until Kayle was able to join the family. They did however, have to tell the girls' father about what was going on…needless to say, the Ionian wasn't too happy. But, at the same time, he was honored a member of the League chose his daughter as her Chosen.

"I wish he'd hurry up," Ryo muttered, rolling her shoulders to relieve the tension in them, "I want to stretch,"

"You and I both," Kayle agreed, "Perhaps this might help a bit…"

"What are you…" Ryo started right as a warm, pure feeling rushed through her, easing the pain in her shoulders, "Whoa…that felt really good,"

"Healing mage, remember?" Kayle replied, voice almost smug, "That should relieve the pain for a little while longer, we can keep casting that on us if it begins to wear off,"

"Sounds good," Ryo nodded…right as the bell rang, signaling the end of school.

The teacher might have started to say something, but Ryo was out the door and down the hall, her movement enhanced by Kayle's healing spell. The newly Chosen dashed out the doors and out onto the school lawn, breezing past other students and staff as she hopped the fence and went into the woods, setting her backpack down on the ground.

"We good?" she asked.

Kayle was silent for a moment before replying.

"The coast is clear,"

"Finally!" Ryo sighed in happiness, touching the angel wing charm on what used to be Kyrie's necklace.

A ripple ran through her body and Ryo gave a contented sigh as the glamor faded. She rolled her shoulders and two magnificent, snowy white wings extended from her back, stretching out to an impressive fifteen foot span. She gave them an experimental flap, smiling as she lifted an inch off the ground and the autumn leaves went flying around her.

Ryo grinned and snapped her wings out even harder, flaring them and sending the leaves exploding away from her with a deafening rustling sound. She gave an exhilarated laugh as she pulled her wings close to her back.

"You're enjoying yourself," Kayle teased.

"Can you blame me?"

"No," she replied, "But we must be careful, there have been incidents of late concerning the Chosens…someone has been attacking them, trying to kill them. They've failed and only succeeded in creating new Chosens,"

"But we could stop them…Divine Intervention, remember?"

"Aye, but only for a few moments. After that, we would be shredded by gunfire,"

"…You got a point there," Ryo admitted, "So, I guess we start swordsmanship or magic then?"

"I would say swordsmanship first," Kayle told her, "Your magic is strong, but much of your gift will be channeled through your blade,"

"Ok, so how…"

"Hold your hand out," Kayle instructed, "Imagine your blade in your hand…"

Ryo closed her eyes and imagined Kayle's beautiful golden sword…right as a heavy weight entered her palm. Ryo's golden eyes flashed open and she smiled as she saw the magnificent gold and ruby weapon in her hand, watching as the sunlight played upon the metal and the rubies, making it look like it was on fire.

"Now, time for the fun to begin," Kayle chuckled, "You will have to learn how to multitask when you fight…because you won't be walking on the Rift…"

"I'll be flying," Ryo nodded, flapping her wings again and lifting of the ground, giddy excitement flooding through her as she went higher and higher.

Suddenly, a shudder ran though her body and Ryo felt like she was looking through a telescope as she suddenly swooped towards the ground, landing elegantly in a three point landing.

"Not that high," Kayle scolded, "We must be careful. If we were on Valoran, then yes, you could fly as high as you wanted…here on Earth, no. Do not fly very high save at night and even then only when it is cloudy,"

"Got it," Ryo nodded, "Now…are we going to practice?"

"But of course," Kayle smiled, letting Ryo take control, "Let us begin,"


"What are you doing?" Kikoro asked, laughing as Ryo glared at a piece of paper in a metal bowl.

"I'm going to light this scrap on fire if it's the last thing I do," Ryo growled, glaring harder.

Kikoro started laughing and Ryo turned an exasperated glare at her.

"It's not funny!" Ryo whined, "I'm really trying…"

She stiffened before smacking the side of her head.

"That's not fair Kayle! I'm trying!" Ryo grumbled before glaring at the paper again…and thumping her head against the table, "This is impossible!"

She looked up, jabbing her finger at the paper…and it burst into flame.

"I DID IT!" Ryo cheered, jumping up from the chair and very nearly dancing around her chair.

Kikoro gave a chuckle, hugging her daughter while being careful of Ryo's wings.

"What's the cause of celebration?" a male voice asked, making Ryo jump as if she'd been shocked, her feathers puffing out almost comically.

Andrew laughed at the sight, he'd seen Kayle's feathers all fluffed out and ruffled only a few times. Twitch got the jump on her, who knew Kayle could scream that loud or so high. Twitch earned himself a few scorch marks, but seeing the angel that frightened was hilarious to him.

"Everything alright Andrew?" Kikoro asked.

"Everything's fine, Kiko," Andrew grinned, using her nickname from when they were children in Ionia, "I just came to see Ryo and see how she was fairing,"

Ryo's golden eyes flashed blue and she gave a bark of laughter.

"Skip the formalities, Andrew," Kayle smiled, "You're here to have us back on the Rift,"

"Sometimes I wonder if you were lying when you said you weren't telepathic, Kayle," Andrew growled.

Kayle gave another laugh and crossed her arms.

"I am right, aren't I?"

"…Yes,"

"Are you both ready?" Kikoro asked as Kayle's eyes flashed gold.

"We're ready," Ryo nodded, "I've got Kayle's abilities down pat…it's just my own magic that escapes me,"

She looked at Andrew, smiling excitedly.

"When do we go?"

"Soon," Andrew promised, "Cira's waiting for you…she might not be able to help you much, seeing as how she's a support Chosen not a mage,"

"We'll figure it out," Ryo smiled, "We…"

She stopped, blinking confusedly as she swayed on her feet.

"Ryo…" Kikoro started, putting a hand on her daughter's shoulder…

Right as the t-shirt turned into hard golden armor, as Ryo's indigo hair started turning a shimmering blonde color. Ryo's wings snapped out as she gave a gasp…and disappeared in a burst of flame.

"I'll go, make sure she's safe," Andrew promised.

"I wish she'd never got involved, Andrew," Kikoro told him, "I wish she was ignorant of this fact,"

"I wish that too," Andrew admitted, "But, we don't have a choice now, do we?"

"No, we don't,"


Ryo opened her eyes to seeing a high ceiling and polished tile floors all around her. She happened to look at one of the mirrors on the wall and smiled…even though you couldn't see it under the plumed, golden helmet shadowing her face.

She reached up and took off the helmet, letting her now blonde hair cascade past her shoulders as Kyrie's face looked back at her in the mirror.

"I always wanted to know what I'd look like as a blonde," Ryo joked, making Kayle laugh.

"Not half bad if I do say so myself," the Judicator preened as Ryo stretched her wings out and retracted them.

"Vain much?" the Chosen teased.

"Perhaps," Kayle replied before giving a thoughtful hum, "Let's go meet this Cira person…she is waiting on us after all,"

"Sounds like a plan," Ryo nodded, taking a step before Kayle forced her to stop, "What?"

"We're not on Earth anymore," Kayle reminded her, "The time for walking is over…it's time for you to fly,"

Ryo gave a bright grin and beat her wings to get into the air, flying up to the high ceiling and brushing it with her fingertips before spotting someone on the floor.

"I'm going to have a little fun," Ryo smiled, tensing before suddenly dive bombing the poor soul underneath her…

Only for something gold to flash and Ryo had a sudden pain erupt on her face as she careened out of her path and tumbled onto the floor.

"Owwwww," Ryo moaned as she sat up…just to see a red-haired woman adorned in scarlet and gold armor with a sword and shield in hand standing in a defensive position before her.

"Oh…" the red-head blinked, standing upright and walking over to Ryo, extending her hand, "Sorry, Ryo, you scared me,"

"Yeah, I kinda got that," Ryo grumbled as she took the stranger's hand, "And who might you be?"

"Considering Andrew's your cousin and your parents are Rioters…I'd figure you know," the woman deadpanned.

Ryo took a good look at the other woman, noticing the sun motif all over her armor. The new Judicator put a hand to her helmet.

"You're Leona…Cira," Ryo started.

"Right," Cira smiled, "Chosen just like you…well…I kinda had no choice, I would've died if Leona hadn't Chosen me,"

She waved a hand dismissively.

"But that's not important," she told her, "Let's get onto the Rift and get you trained in how to really be a Chosen,"


Cira hummed to herself as she walked down the hall, smiling.

"Our numbers are growing," Leona said, making Cira nod.

"Yeah, I mean, it's a great thing that people are being saved…but…"

"You're worried about those people who are trying to kill us," Leona reasoned.

"Can you blame me?"

"No, I can't,"

"I just…I just wish I knew why," Cira sighed, "I want to know why they want us dead…we haven't done anything to them,"

"Yet," came a male voice.

Cira turned around to face Andrew.

"Ryo learns very quickly," Cira told him, "She's got Kayle down pat. Maybe we should have more Valoran Chosen if its going to be this easy,"

"No," Andrew growled, "Ryo was it. No one else. The only reason she's bonded so well with Kayle is because she's from Earth. I'm trying to bring our worlds together Cira, I started with you…I'm continuing to do so because both worlds could benefit from each other,"

"Are you saying there is another Chosen?" Cira asked, "That long winded spiel was just to tell me someone else is here that I need to train?"

"And Leona knows this one," Andrew nodded before stopping and giving a slightly annoyed glare at the smirking First Chosen, "Sometimes I wonder about you…"

He handed her a picture and Leona immediately took control, blinking rapidly as she saw the elegant rapier in the brunette girl's hand.

"Victoria Meraux," Andrew introduced as Leona closed her eyes.

"We're not alone," Leona whispered with a faint smile, "Hello Fiora, my friend."

And so another Champion is chosen...a Project. After Fiora...then I'm taking a break and having fun with a multi-chapter story based on the Projects. It'll have what happened to the Champions to make them Projects and then it'll split off, focusing on each Project's story until they are brought back to the Institute.
