Gādiansutairu kōtei ryū-kō ōra, the training Week: Flame of the Angel
Part 2!
I'm really grateful to everyone who reviewed, especially Soulfire524 who continuously gave me support and reviews, keep up the good work! *Anime thumbs up!* Oh I decided to cameo two characters (You wont know them since they are from my story…I'm writing a story based on those two though so DON'T STEAL THEM!)
Me: I just thought of something.
L and the others: what?
Me: there's never too much of a bad thing, but there's always too much of a good thing.
Akane: that's….disheartening.
Ranma: I agree.
Genma-panda: Me too.
Me: on a brighter side, I'm starting on two…no wait, three other stories!
*Everyone stares, I sweatdrop. Akane gave an angry stare with Ranma.*
Me: Yea…I guessed as much.
L: you want another beating?
Peter: That wasn't really me…
Kasumi: Oh dear me, they're arguing again. Please, enjoy the story. *bows*
…
"Damn, Akane. I heard of afterglows, but this is ridiculous!" Nabiki said putting on a pair of sunglasses she has. It was true, Akane walked down the stairs in the morning and blinded almost everyone with the wave of light emitting form her, smiling very brightly too with Ranma-chan beside her, also smiling.
Akane blushed and laughed, "I guess so, but I don't really care at the moment."
Nabiki rolled her eyes behind her sunglasses, "What about school? You can't exactly waltz right in with such an afterglow…and expect to be unscathed afterwards." The Nabiki smiled evilly, "So…Ranma…did you do anything out of the ordinary?"
The new couple paled, the afterglow receded a bit, "S-shut up! It's none of your business!" they sputtered.
"Oh, what your mother would say about this…" Nabiki kept smirking. She knew Akane wouldn't dare do such a thing right now, as it's really uncomfortable for her to be in male form, but it's always fun getting amusement at their expense, "Anyways, better hurry or you will be late for class."
"Oh crap!" the two ran around the house, finding their bags and ran out the door with a piece of buttered bread in their mouth. Nabiki followed laughing, not barely as hurried as her future-brother-in-law or her sister.
"Fooled ya."
…
"NABIKI! You tricked us!" Akane yelled at her sister, face bright red. Though if it's from anger, frustration, or embarrassment she doesn't know, but it was sure as hell funny when Akane was swarmed with questions from her friends, asking if she did a certain something with Ranma. Obviously the two both denied that anything occurred, returning to the normal Ranma-bashing. Curtsy to Ranma-bashing ©Inc Founded by Furinkan's own Akane Tendo. Nabiki smiled like a Cheshire cat and left to either mooch off of Kuno or starting bets as it was lunch...
Akane sighed, sitting down with a groan beside Ranma who held a tomato red face. She looked at her fiancée and smiled, "Well, this is going to be a long day."
"I'll say…hey…who is that?" Ranma pointed at two shapes walking—stumbling—towards the school. Their clothe are…strange. The two wore hoods over their head, although Ranma can see a spot of red hair popping out of one's hood, and draped a cloak over their body. The pair heard the other two talking rapidly in English and they sat down in the seats across from them.
Akane, knowing English listened in, (Jeeze Lyn, do you EVER listen?) the, boy, apparently, whispered in a harsh undertone, "You were suppose to add water, not vinegar! Now we somehow landed in Japan!"
(Oh, well sorry Peter! It's not like I'm the one who put vinegar where I can grab it!) Lyn, apparently a girl, sighed, "We're lucky we learned Japanese before hands or we'd be in deep shit."
(Ah well, we need to find our group! I feel something foreboding…and I need to dye my hair and get my contacts on…why are you wearing the cloak anyways?)
(…I actually have no idea…) the girl sighed and pulled her cloak off. The girl…had dirty blond hair with a strip curling upwards on her left temple, (Oh c'mon Peter, who cares if you look strange, just take off that stupid cloak!)
(Whatever.) The boy pulled off his cloak and his hood. Ranma and Akane's eyebrows rose; the boy had pitch black hair, but a streak of red burned down the center of his head. The edges of his head, along the temple, also had red, as if a halo was fused to his skull. Then the boy stiffened, he turned around and looked at the other pair with green and blue heterochromatic eyes, "Hello, you can stop eavesdropping now." The boy said in perfect Japanese.
Akane looked away guiltily, and silence resumed, until, "What were you two talking about?"
"That's…confidential, find it out yourselves." Lyn muttered and stood up. Peter followed to register in the school.
Akane and Ranma looked at each other in dismay.
…
"Ok class! We have two new students coming in today! They transferred all the way from America! Please welcome Peter Ignis and Lyn Siren!" the always energetic child teacher Miss Hinako said happily.
This was nothing new, the girl was easily seen as particular but the boy looked nothing more than normal but to Ranma and Akane, who met the two at lunch, they could see that the boy dyed his hair and wore contacts, dark brown ones for that matter.
As this was Nermia and the school was Furinkan High, people began to speculate about two newcomers and their chance of survival. The most common Ranma heard was that they're not going to last a day here before moving back. Other sick-minded people thought of ways ever inching toward rape to the five-and-a-half foot tall girl, but these are the guys that's never going to get a girlfriend though.
"Ok, please take a seat you two!" the pair walked and sat in desks near Ranma and Akane. Peter smiled at the two, Lyn felt shivers go up her spine. She stared at Ranma and her eyes widened and stumbled slightly. Lyn started to hyperventilate, clutching her chest.
Peter's eyes widened in shock, 'She's having a panic attack!' he picked up the girl and ran out the door. Everyone else stared in shock. Ranma and Akane ran after the two.
...
Outside Peter was hugging a sobbing Lyn, rocking her back and forth. Her strangled whispers were lost in her friend's shirt. Peter sighed as his friend soaked his shirt with tears. He asked (What's wrong Lyn?)
(V-vampires! T-the two we t-talked to-to at l-l-lunch!) She sobbed.
Peter sighed again, he hated to see his partner, friend, and hidden love interest in pain and said, ("It's been a long time Lyn, and I really don't think these vampires would hurt you.)
(I know! But…h-habits die hard!) Lyn cried, no longer crying but still sporting fearful eyes.
(This isn't a habit, it's a phobia. A really strong one at that.) Peter looked away and saw the pair he talked to at lunch, searching, "Oi! Over here!"
The two started at the sound of his voice and looked at where it came from. The boy appeared in an instant, the girl appeared moments afterwards. The girl talked first, "Is she ok?"
"She is, she just have to get over the fact that there's two vampires at school." Peter said, with venom in his words, the pair that was targeted winced.
"We…aren't exactly fully vampires; we are Guardians, half Vampire and half Human. Although Akane here hasn't changed yet…"Ranma trailed off and looked at the girl who had a panic attack.
"She'll be ok." Peter then went back to talk with Lyn, (We need to find a place to live.)
"Wait, if you need a place to stay, we can let you stay with us! It's the least we can do!" Akane said and Peter smiled.
"I'll hold you up to that. We'll follow you two home then."
…
"Hey, you sure you're ok with this?" Peter asked a still shaking Lyn.
"Yea…need to get over my phobia and we need a home to stay as we find our friends." Lyn whispered back.
The pair followed Akane and Ranma as they walked back home. The moment they walked pass the gate, there was the sounds of someone fighting and Ranma's father, Ganma was running out.
"Ranma, my boy! Just in time! We need you to help send out an intruder!" the cowardly man smiled, his glasses cracked slightly. Suddenly a bolt of yellow streaked from the back of the house and shocked the man who fell down afterwards, smoking and slightly charred.
Peter and Lyn looked at each other and gave an incredulous look, "Don't tell us…" they then ran to the back. Ranma and Akane followed, curious about what's happening, but not before hauling the charred man with them.
There they saw the two teens they met today hugging another girl in the yard that was sporting a huge sword. Ranma and Akane just kept staring in shock as the three laughed.
"Sarah! You were here the whole time!" Lyn asked, smiling, "But why were you discharging like a broken battery?"
"Hey, I have no idea why I was roped up, so I had to do something…" Sarah gave a disgruntled glare to Genma, who was in Ranma's clutches, and who shrank at her glare.
Ranma and Akane then also glared at the man, who shank even more, "Pops, you better have a good reason for this."
Genma sweat dropped at the thought of what happened about three hours ago…
What had happened…
Sarah landed on the hard ground with a ground breaking thump. Her dual blade sword, the Orichalcum Spirit Sword which was named Spiritus, stabbed the ground beside her. She groaned in pain and sat up, clutching her head.
"Damn that was a bloody hard fall…" she whispered. Blinking the stars out of her eyes, Sarah stood on her unsteady legs, "Thank god that I'm half-were or I'll be hosting broken limbs." Then she realized she was in someone's backyard. She walked into the house, searching for the owner when she smelled something…something very delicious to weres, especially her. Following the scent she ended up tripping over a shogi board where two men were playing at.
The one who had hair stared at the bald one, "I would have won you know." Sarah sat up, staring at the odd pair of men then burst out laughing. The two looked at her like it's the first time they actually seen her, which was true. Sarah stopped laughing and felt shivers and anger suddenly.
The one with hair suddenly appeared in front her, crying like a waterfall or a leaky faucet."Saotome! This better NOT be another of your son's crazy fiancées!" he cried.
"It ain't! I swear!"The other man shank at the intensity of his stare.
Sarah stared with shock and confusion, 'they're normal humans and…so…fast…though they seem like martial artists…' "Err…hello? I was wondering what that smells-"
Then she blacked out, coming to moments before her friends arrived. She used her spells, as a lighting user, she fried the rope that was strangling her moments ago. Then she proceeded to fry the two unfortunate men who were thinking of who she could be.
End…
"You tied her up because she messed up your Shogi game?"
"That…old man…IS THE WORST EXCUSE I'VE EVER HEARD!" Ranma yelled, sending his father through the roof. Sarah, Peter, Lyn all sweat dropped.
"That…is…wow…" Peter said eyes wide at the feat that was done.
"I think a new record, Ranma, "ignoring the incredulous teens, Akane turned to her father, "And shame on you for tying up an innocent girl!"
'Innocent, her?" Lyn and Peter both simultaneously thought.
"I-I-I-I didn't know who she was!" Soun cringed at his angry daughter, "For all we know she could be a renegade werewolf or vampire!"
Peter and his two (female) friends had their eyes wide open as if they are fishes out of water. People from inside the house thought the worst…well…mostly Akane's dad…
"NONE OF YOU ARE RENEGADE WEREWOLVES OR VAMPIRE RIGHT?" Soun's Demon-head cried, turning the blood of the targeted teens' ice cold.
Peter's eyes rose in surprise and started to chant, "Veneficus, ancients, sentinels, magister-" then his mouth was clamped shut by Lyn and Akane sucked the demon head back into the gourd where it belongs.
"That was creepy." Sarah muttered. Everyone else stared at her again, "Oh c'mon!"
…
"Guardians?" Lyn asked for the tenth time that hour.
"Yes…" Akane replied.
Genma sat up and motioned to the Akane and Ranma, "C'mon you two, it's time to train in your proper skills," the door opened, and a chime was heard.
"Visitor!" Kasumi's serene voice called out as Nodoka walked to the backyard. As per usual, she carried her family sword.
"Oh, it's just me dear. Now, where are my son and everyone else? I need to resolve a few things before hand."
"OH! They're waiting for you by the Koi pond."
"Thank you Kasumi." Nodoka appeared from the walkway and sat beside her husband. She raised an eyebrow at the trio of newcomers, "I see we have other visitors."
"Ah, yes, Mrs. Saotome! This is Peter, Lyn, and Sarah. They're going to stay here for a while; they need to find the rest of their friends.
"That's obvious seeing how Lyn blew us all the way from America. I wouldn't be surprised if this was an altered dimension." Peter murmured then raised his head. Seeing the skeptical stares he got he asked, "What?"
"Regardless, it's time to train," Genma stood up, Soun, Zero and Nodoka did the same, "This, is the fire Dragon."
A massive ball of red ki shot from the man's body, it stayed aloft above the man. Genma reached up and grasped something. The fiery red ki was then slammed into the ground, scattering the energy all around. After the blinding light dissipated, Genma stood, a trident with a round, metal guard was clenched in his hand.
Peter, Lyn and Sarah's eyes widened in shock, 'Just like a consortio!' they thought, looking at each other, and then stared at the trident that was formed. Orange dominated the weapon, a bright, flame like orange; the intricate scale patterns near the points makes it look like it's giving off a flame. The guard was an incandescent blue with green streaks.
"Everyone has their own artifact weapon, no one has the same. Each has a separate skill only accessible to the user. But to use the abilities, you must train. Not only yourself, but also your weapon. This is my Guardian Artifact," Genma closed his eyes and called out, "Incinerate, Tenshi no honoo."
Peter then doubled over in pain and screamed. Genma started, Lyn stared fearfully at her friend, and Sarah glared. Akane and Ranma looked at each other with shock then rushed to the boy's side. He then threw up; his lunch from yesterday was visible much to everyone's disgust. Once he was finished he sat up straight and fell back, still twitching in pain. His strangled gasps were horribly clear.
"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO HIM?" Lyn yelled at the unfortunate man, crackling with shadow energy. Well…not exactly crackling, more like emitting a huge, black dome, "TELL ME!"
Everyone but Sarah, who knew of her affection to Peter, sweat dropped 'Shit scary girl…'
"I-I-I-I don't know! This never happened before." Genma stammered, afraid of the girl who could possibly kill him.
Lyn's angry face turned even darker, from anger or the dome that wasn't sure, Lyn began to chant, "Umbra, lux lucis, phasmatis vultus…"moments later, Genma was found flying with a gigantic bolt of shadow in his stomach, pushing him straight into the stratosphere.
As everyone stared, they didn't see the disoriented boy stand up. Peter moaned in pain and looked up, "Ah jeeze Lyn, don't do that…" the boy casted his own spell, though with out the incantation, "Labor lapsus." The dropping man suddenly stopped and slowly, but surely(SO DAMN CLICHÉ!), glided down, "Lyn, I think you went over board."
"Ah what the heck."
"Everyone! Dinner!"
"Finally!" Sarah, Lyn, and a stumbling Peter walked into the living room to eat their dinner.
"You sure you're ok?" Lyn asked.
"Yea, quite a bit better than before actually," then he looked at the still stunned forms of Ranma, Genma, Nodoka, Soun, Zero, and Akane, "Hey, we can eat dinner now!"
…
"Master." A cloaked figure said.
"Yes?" Viesta looked at his right hand man.
"We have gotten troublesome reports."
"Yes?"
The man paused, not knowing how to proceed with the report, "Well you see, the boy and the girl are starting their training already, the boy could be finished in less than a month and the girl maybe three. This will prove a problem is they do finish."
Viesta frowned, if the pair, or even if one of the pair finish their training, it could prove disastrous, "That is troublesome news." He picked up a glass of blood and started to drink, "What else? I can just feel the distress leeching off of you."
"Mages! Bloody Mages!" the man spat.
Viesta crushed the glass of blood in surprise. Staring at his blood stained hand he asked lowly, "Are you sure?"
"Yes, the informants dispatched are amongst the best. They have witnessed all three newcomers use some form of spell."
"Dammit!" Viesta kicked over a table in anger, "I"ll make the fuckin' mages wish they never came here! They shall rue the day they heard of the BlackSkull Coven!"
…
"This is unfortunate news." Genma stated.
"How is that" Akane waved at Peter who was waving a fire ball around, much to the delight and fascination of Akane and Ranma (mostly fascination for him…), "unfortunate?"
"Vampires are blood enemies to both Weres and Mages. Mages and Weres were told to have teamed up once in the years and killed off most of the Vampires. The remaining scattered few, despite and furious cursed all mages and Weres to be blood enemies."
Peter scowled and released the magic, shocking Kasumi. In her shock she flipped over a jug of cold water that Kasumi was carrying to the table. Water drenched Peter, Lyn, Sarah and the two Guardian teens beside them.
The trio looked at the table, at Kasumi then at the rest of the group of people there. They blinked; Peter gave an 'OH SHIT!' look, the girls just stared at the slightly wrong picture. A boy sat where Akane was sitting, wearing Akane's clothe. The girls were slightly glad that the boy (?) was still sitting. Ranma…er…or who was now in Ranma's place, the girl, spoke, "I hate my life."
...
Meanwhile…
"Brother dear, what are you doing?" Kodatchi asked, seeing Juno sitting on his head.
"Ah, dear sister, Saotome has cursed me with a demon and I'm planning to rid of the evil spirit and rid the world of Saotome and his unholy kind forever!" Kuno laughed manically and fell down with a thud.
"I thought that the Tendo girl also was one of their ranks?"
"Pure blasphemy! The pure, righteous soul of Akane Tendo will conquer their demonic magic and none can corrupt her glowing heart!" Kuno yelled with his self-righteous poetry. Giving a shrug, Kodatchi left to her room. The instant she left, Kuno clutched his head in pain and fell. Raising a while later, he gave a, surprisingly, non-insane smile.
"Ah…now I feel better."
…
