Last time on Taichi Chasers: Battle of the Three Nations
"Rai, use the HUO card to distract them before arming yourself with the JIAN, sword, card. Everyone else grab a weapon card from my holder and arm yourselves, NOW!" I said before grabbing my JIAN card.
"Taichi Jian, Sword!" I yelled as a yellow, 剑, symbol appeared above my head before morphing into twin sword that flew into my hands. "I've been meaning to try this new technique I created in real combat, but I never got around to it. This is the perfect time for me to try it out."
Present Time
With the Dragonoids
The Dragonoids got up from their fall due to the barrage of attacks and drew their weapons. Luka and Jahara drew their swords, Garnia his war hammer and Ave his battle whip.
"Come on you dolts. We can't lose to these measly children. Our honor as elite Dragonoid warriors must be protected in the next battle against those pesky children," Luka said in a commanding voice.
With the Tigeroids
"Taichi Jian, Sword!" Rai yelled as a blueish yellow, 剑, symbol appeared above his head before morphing into a broadsword.
"Taichi Qiang, Spear!" Finn yelled as a blueish yellow, 枪, symbol appeared above his head before turning into a long double-headed spear.
"Taichi Gong, Bow! Taichi Jian, Arrow!" Sena yelled as a blue, 弓, symbol and a white, 箭, symbol appeared above her head before morphing into a bow and arrows.
"Taichi Gun, Staff!" Tori yelled as a brown, 棍, symbol appeared above his head before morphing into a bo staff.
"AHHHHH!" I yelled as activated my transcendent Phoenix form. My hair grew longer and started to resemble long feathers and my body became accented with tattoos that looked like feathers. Yet the most startling change I went through was that I grew flaming wings just under my shoulder blades.
"I want you guys to stay out of my way until I'm done with my technique. If I don't finish this battle with this technique, I want you guys to run away as fast as you can to the Tiger Airship and get out of here. OKAY?" I said to Rai and the Chasers.
"But… but what will happen to you?" Sena asked worriedly.
"There's nothing to worry about. You know me, even if I was captured, I could easily escape without anyone knowing. I'll be fine," I said.
With the Dragonoids
"Ave, Garnia, use your taichi cards to attack from a distance while me and Jahara engage the Phoenician prince in close combat. While Jahara and I are stalling the prince, you guys get rid of the other chasers," Luka commanded as he laid out the battle plan.
They ran to where the Tigeroids and I were and they started their onslaught.
"Taichi Bian, Whips!" Ave yelled as a green, 鞭, symbol appeared over his head before morphing into four green whips that flew at the Chasers.
"Taichi Bao, Explosion!" Garnia yelled as a blue, 爆, symbol appeared above his head before shooting a huge explosion of fire at the Chasers.
"Taichi Bi, Wall!" Donha yelled as a brown, 壁, symbol appeared above his head and a wall appeared in from of the Chasers from Ave and Garnia's attacks.
When the Dragonoids came into striking distance I decided to use my technique. I held my twin swords in my hand loosely as I pulled latent energy from deep within my body. After a few seconds, I started to glow with a flaming red and my twin swords became wrapped in fire.
"Taichi Ren, Person!" I yelled as a flaming red, 人, appeared over my head and morphed into a copy of myself. "You know what to do, let's finish this!"
"Combination Technique! Secret Art Hidden Lotus; Dance of the Flaming Lotus! Secret Art, Flying Phoenix; Dance of the Flaming Phoenix!" my clone and I yelled together as we each started our own sword dances. My clone flew into the air and started to move like a flying phoenix, slashing and wiping as if pushing the air around him to help him "fly". I started to slash and sweep my swords in what looked like random directions and went through a series of awkward poses. My clone and I finished our sword dances at the same time and a flaming lotus appeared around me, while a flying phoenix appeared around my clone. When the Dragonoids came closer to where I was, my clone and I started our attack. I started slashing my swords in the Dragonoids direction causing the petals of the lotus to fly out at them, while my clone thrust his swords forward in their direction causing the phoenix to spew fire at the Dragonoids.
Luka and Jahara ducked and weaved through the onslaught of flaming petals and streams of fire, nearly getting hit many times. Garnia and Ave were dodging and using their weapons to block the barrage of fire. They were all thinking one thing in their heads, 'What the HELL IS THIS! When did the Phoenicians get so strong?', as they dodged the attacks.
After a few minutes of consecutive use of the combination attack, my strength and power were leaving me. Sustaining the technique was beginning to become taxing on my body and after a few moments I my strikes were faltering. Soon my vision was starting to get blurry and I suddenly lost my strength and fell to one knee. I stuck my swords into the ground and used them as supports to help hold me up. The flaming lotus around me was starting to flicker and my clone and phoenix disappeared.
The Dragonoids saw their chance and started to counterattack with a barrage of Taichi.
"Everyone, I want this one alive! I'm sure that the general will understand, as a dead prince is useless but one that is alive is worth much," Luka said.
"Taichi Shui, Water! Taichi Zha, Pierce!" Luka yelled as a blue, 水, symbol and a blue, 扎, symbol appeared above his head and shot a jet of water and a barrage of blue energy needles at me.
"Taichi Mao, Spear!" Jahara yelled as a blue, 矛, symbol appeared over her head before morphing into a blue energy spear that she threw at me.
"Taichi Bao, Explosion!" Garnia yelled as a blue, 爆, symbol appeared over his head and shot a blast of fire at me.
"Taichi Bian, Whip!" Ave yelled as a green, 鞭, symbol appeared over his head before morphing into four green energy whips that flew at me.
"Taichi Dun, Shield!" I yelled as a brown, 盾, symbol appeared above my head before morphing into a shield. The shield was able to hold back some of the attacks but I got hit and flew into the wall the Chasers were hiding behind. Sena came running out from behind the wall and towards me.
"Sena! What are you doing! Get back behind the wall! I'm fine!" I yelled in outrage as I winced from the pain that the attacks had caused me.
"NO! You're not okay and I'm not going to let you get hurt anymore," Sena declared as she started to help me up and make a run for the other side of the wall.
"Taichi Mao, Spear!" Jahara yelled as a blue, 矛, symbol appeared over her head before morphing into a blue energy spear that she threw at me.
"Taichi Bao, Explosion!" Garnia yelled as a blue, 爆, symbol appeared over his head and shot a blast of fire at me.
As we were about to make it to the edge of the wall, I heard something that sounded like a jet of fire and out of the corner of my eye, I saw a blue energy spear and a blast of fire streaming towards Sena. In that split second, I got in front of Sena and took the fire and spear full on. The spear had gone through my back and pierced through my chest and the fire had badly burned my back. I sprayed blood from my mouth onto Sena's face and pushed her over to the other side before falling to the ground.
"SENA! Get the other and then GET OUT OF HERE!" I yelled in desperation while coughing up blood.
"Taichi Lao, Prison!" Ave yelled as a yellowish-brown, 牢, symbol appeared above his head and morphed into a cell that entrapped me.
"Ryu! I'm coming!" Sena yelled as she started to run towards me.
"NO! SENA GET OUT OF HERE! I'LL BE FINE! GO!" I yelled as I tried to get her to go back to the wall and get away.
"NO! I won't leave you here!" Sena yelled as she came closer to the cell in which I was locked.
"Sena, you leave me no choice. Taichi Chui, Blow!" I yelled as a blue, 吹, symbol appeared over my head before shooting out a jet of wind that blow Sena all the way back to the wall and the other Chasers. As soon as I sent Sena flying the Dragonoids came over and tied me up with some strong ropes and kept me in the cell before setting off to get the Chasers.
As soon as Sena landed in the camp that the Chasers had set up, she told everyone to run away and get to the Tiger Airship. Though Rai had a problem running away from a fight, Donha and Finn were able to drag him back to the Airship. Once they got on, they took off and went to a secluded location where the Dragonoids couldn't find them.
After a while the Dragonoids came back to the cell after giving up the search for the other Chasers. They dragged me along until they found their cruiser and then we took off for the Dragonoid Airship. When we got to the ship, I was dragged along the floor of the ship before getting to the main deck of the airship. When we saw the general, I was surprised to see him with an angry look on his face.
"Why did you bring him here alive? I asked for him to be eliminated with those pesky Tigeroids. Oh don't tell me, the Tigeroids got away again, didn't they?" the general said with malice.
"Sir, the prince of the Phoenicians would be more use to us alive than dead and besides with him here we can use him as bait for the Tigeroids and Phoenicians. Now that we have a prisoner of war, we can get many more things than just the anger of the Tigeroids and Phoenicians had we just killed him, " Luka said sagely.
"Fine, take him down to the torture chamber and strap him to the electrifier. Even though he may be a prince and a prisoner of war, we don't need to treat him nicely. Turn the electrifier to the maximum voltage and shock him every half an hour," General Vicious said as he laughed maniacally.
I was dragged out of the main deck and into the halls before coming to a chamber. When we got into the chamber I was strapped to a metal table that was in the center of the room. Then they strapped a multitude of wires onto several place on my body and then turned up the voltage to the max, 1000000 volts, and shocked me.
On the Tiger Airship
"Rai this is your entire fault. If you didn't run off and go back to your house, then we would never have met the Dragonoids and Ryu never would have been captured by the Dragonoids. We don't even know if he's still okay and I just know that the Dragonoids will torture and hurt him more than he already is. What if he's in pain right now? What if he doesn't come back? What if…" Sena yelled as she started to cry out loud before pushing Rai into a wall and running into her room, slamming the door.
They were able to hear her crying through the walls clearly.
"What's wrong with her?" Rai asked.
"Ryu was her fiancé and that little stunt you pulled might have just killed Ryu. Remember, he got injured and captured so that we could leave and escape. You should be able to understand why she's sad and angry at you," Finn said.
In this situation, even Tori didn't know what to say as he couldn't think of any way to make the situation better. Finn went into Sena's room and comforted her, wishing in his heart that I would be fine and that I hadn't met my doom just yet.
Soon after, Hawk picked up a Taichi card signal and everyone reluctantly moved on in search of the lost Taichi character. Sena swore to herself that she would find me and rescue me from the Dragonoids. She just wished that she would be in time to rescue me.
AN
What will happen to Ryu? Will he be rescued or will the Chasers end up in the same situation as him?
