Chapter 5: Back to the Past
Heidi stared at the Japanese girl shocked, her eyes wide open. She couldn't process what she just heard. She, Heidi and popular girl in school was known over eight hundred years ago. Her instincts were telling her to leave, forget everything and continue things like nothing happened. But there was her curiosity that made her stay and find out.
"What do you mean?" Heidi finally asked.
The Japanese girl sighed to herself, "It's a really long story, but perhaps it's best I show you from the beginning." The girl then sat down on the ground in a mediation position and closed her eyes. Heidi was confused by her action, expecting her to tell her instead of just sitting on the ground. If it weren't for her curiosity she would have left long ago, "Join me." The Japanese girl said, opening her eye open for a second before closing it.
Heidi just shrugged her shoulder, wanting this get to get over with and did as she was told. She didn't question the girl as she sat in a meditation.
"Now what?" Heidi asked as she closed her eyes.
"Take soft breathes and clear your mind." The girl answered.
Heidi did what she was told and took soft breathes. It helped that she took each breathe calmly and soon felt the burden from before disappear. She also felt something strange happening to her body. It was like the combination of cool breeze and a tickling feeling going up through her body.
"Now open your eyes." Heidi did as she was told and was surprise to what she saw. They were no longer on top of the school, but on a grassy field. The wind blew wonderfully through the air that it created a warm filling.
She looked next to her side and saw the foreign girl as before, "Where are we?"
"Back in time." The girl smiled.
"What?!"
************************************************** ***(LINE BREAK)******************************************** *****************
Meanwhile, Randy and Howard were busy trying to figure out what the Sorcerer said. After Randy encounter at Mcfist HQ, he told Howard everything that happened in the evil lab and Sorcerer
"So what are you going to do?" Howard asked as he sat on Randy's bed.
"I don't know." Randy shrugged as he sat on a chair in his room, "What I'm wondering is which girl that was suppose to tell me?"
"Or maybe he's talking about the Ninja Nomicon." Howard suggested. Randy stared at Howard with a confused look, holding his mouth from laughter. However, they couldn't hold it anymore and burst out laughing.
"Yeah, like that's gone happen." Howard laugh loudly that he fell of the bed and continued.
Randy laughed for a while coming down as he fling a tear away, "But seriously Howard what should I do? I wish the Nomicon was here so I could figure things out."
"But then you won't be in this mess." Howard pointed out.
"Thanks, Howard. You really know when to remind someone." Randy said sarcastically.
"Just doing my job." Howard smirked.
Randy face palmed himself at Howard's obliviousness.
************************************************** *****(LINE BREAK)******************************************** ***************
"Back in time?" Heidi asked, surprise at what she was told.
"Something like that." The Japanese girl answered, "We're actually seeing what happened in the past, but we're not there actually." She turned to a village a few meters at the west and began walking there, "Let's go to that village, so you can see what I mean."
Heidi complied, knowing she should follow if she wanted answers. She met up with the Japanese girl and followed her into the village. As they walked into the village, Heidi noticed that the girl was right. The people in the village didn't seem to notice them, like they weren't even there. Normally, Heidi would like attention from people, but right now she glad no one could see her.
The village was like an ancient population. There was no trace of modern day technology anywhere they passed. The only use of transport that Heidi saw that passed them were people in chariot horses.
"Welcome to Norrissville eight hundred years ago." The Japanese girl addressed about the village.
"Eight years ago?" Heidi asked, looking around the village in wonder.
Just then, a blond girl ran through Heidi like she wasn't even there. Heidi was surprise, because she felt a chill run down her spine as the girl ran through her.
"Hey, watch where you're going!" Heidi yelled at the girl.
The Japanese girl snickered at her action, "Remember this is also like a memory. She's simply just going as memory serves."
Heidi nodded in understanding as she watched the blond girl ran off. She notices something familiar about the girl and decided to follow her. She didn't care that she left the Japanese girl; all she wanted to do was know why the blond girl looked familiar. The blond girl ran up a stairway that led to a large school at the top. Heidi followed her up, her breathing increasing as she ran up the stairs.
Half way to the stairs, the blond girl stopped as a Japanese girl stood before her. The two soon embraced themselves in a hug before letting go of each other and then began talking to each other. By this point, Heidi was able to catch up with the girl and gasped as she saw the blond girl's face.
"Is that…me?" She muttered softly to herself.
"Yes." The voice of the Japanese girl answered. Heidi looked down the hill and saw the Japanese girl running to her. When she got to Heidi, she began panting, "Men I've forgotten how those stairs were."
However, Heidi attention wasn't to the foreigner talking to her. Her attention was at the girl that looked like her talking to the younger Japanese girl that brought her there.
"What took you so long, Heidi? Sensei is going to be so mad at us." The past of the Japanese girl said.
Past Heidi chuckled lightly, "I was following that cute boy when I got lost, Kim."
The Japanese girl known as Kim threw a light punch at her shoulder, "You and boys, Heidi. Maybe you should go talk to him."
"Maybe…I don't know." The past Heidi blushed, "Besides, we have more ninja lessons now." Heidi said, covering up the discussion before it could increase. Kim rolled her eyes, but said nothing to bring the previous discussion. She simply step aside, allowing Heidi to walk up the stairway and following her from behind.
Modern Heidi watched as the two walked away. Her eyes were widening to everything she witnessed. It then occurred to her that everything that the Japanese girl said was true. But there were still some questions to ask.
"So you believe me?" The foreign girl asked.
Heidi nodded, "Yeah, I do. But there are still some things that's bothering me."
"Which is?" The foreign girl asked, her eyebrow raised.
"You're name is Kim right? But you're Japanese."
"You're not the brightest are you?" The foreign girl said, earning an angry look from Heidi, "I'm actually half Japanese. My dad was a Japanese and my mom wasn't. My full name is actually Kimiko Mimi Yamamoto. And to answer the next question that's bothering will be revealed…now." She snapped her finger and the entire scene around them changed.
They were no longer at the stairway to a school, but in a large gathering. The place was a large court with everyone drinking, eating and enjoying themselves with a band playing ancient musical instrument. Heidi watched everything in wonder and her curiosity got the better of her.
"Where are we?" She asked.
"Our Birthday." Kim smiled. She pointed to a house in the court. Heidi and Kim saw themselves coming out, this time dressed in a fresh Japanese kimono, "We were best friends there was in this village. Some even said we were sisters that found each other in the world. But now that I think about it, it was really funny. We shared a lot together like swimming, sparring practices and including our birthdays. Though this was you're birthday, you wanted me to share it with you."
Heidi took everything Kim said and watched her past self talk with past Kim. They both seem to be giggling to each other before they walked to the large crowd. Heidi felt a warm feeling in her that made her to smile. It soon occurred to her that it was true, that she was really from eight hundred years ago.
"So I knew karate?" Heidi asked.
"Not just karate, but Ninjitsu and other moves that made you a top class fighter." Kim informed her. As she watched how her past self and past Heidi enjoyed the party, a tear fell down her cheek. She sighed at the happy memory before a frown came over, "Everything was wonderful until he came."
"Who?"
Kim pointed at a man walking pass them, "Him." She snarled at the word with much anger. Heidi glances at the man and felt something odd about him. His appearance mainly wearing a dark cloak that didn't cover his face wasn't it. Perhaps it was the grin on his face that made it worse.
"Who's he?" Heidi asked.
"Taichi Sato also known as our village Sorcerer. Now watch." Kim informed her.
Heidi silently watched with Kim.
"Hello everyone!" Taichi shouted proudly as he stood before the crowd, "It's so good that our goody girls are growing older to becoming young and beautiful women."
"What are you doing here, Sorcerer?!" Past Heidi yelled at him.
Taichi made a fake gasp, "Hey, that hurts you know. Can't a powerful Sorcerer come and join a party."
"NO!" The crowd shouted.
"Sheesh! Do you guys really hate me that much?"
"YES!" The crowd answered.
An angry look grew on his face as he glared at the crowd and the birthday girls. He wanted to do something, but that would only spoil his plans.
"Very well." Taichi said to them with a growing grin, "I wanted the give the girls the offer of a life time, but since you all are so negative maybe I'll just leave." With that said, he disappeared as a red mist. The crowd was silent as the Sorcerer left. It wasn't normal that he left without saying a comeback to satisfy himself. But eventually the party continued as the music continued.
"Where did he go?" Modern Heidi asked.
"To begin his work." Main Kim answered with a look of regret, "A day later he came with the offer. It was simple, but something we would never do."
"What was it?"
Kim grew a strict face as she answered, "To join him in his suppose new world order. He promised that we would be his body guards, that we'll have more power than we could imagine. But we refused and that made him angry." As she finished, Kim snapped her finger and the entire scene changed.
Heidi found that they were still in the court yard, but something horrific was wrong. Everywhere and everything was on fire as smoke grew furiously, darkening the sky. If not that it was all a memory Heidi and Kim would be choking from the massive smoke. Heidi was shocked at the scene. A place that was once joyful with life was now burning to the ground. She was about to ask, but then notice a fight going on.
At the center of the burning court yard, past Heidi was fighting a large sized Taichi. She also noticed that past Heidi was wearing a suit that resembled the Ninja of her time except that the stripes were blue and she didn't wear a mask. Heidi was utterly shocked as she watched her past self fight Kenji with all her might and with her sword.
Past Heidi ran out of the way of fire balls as she ran straight to the Sorcerer. She seems to get close, but as she leapt forward at him, a red fist came out from the ground and threw an uppercut at her that knocked her to the ground.
"What's the matter girly? Too much for you?" The Sorcerer taunted as he went back to his normal size.
Past Heidi growled at Taichi as she got up. She wielded her sword tightly as she got back to her feet, "How could you do this? You may have been bad, but I didn't know you'll turn your back on Norrisville."
"Heellllooo?" Taichi laughed, "I got bored ok?"
"You're insane!" She snarled before charging at the Taichi.
"Ok, I admit that's true." He muttered. He saw Heidi charging at him and motioned his hands forward. As a result, a red fist grabbed Heidi from the ground and raised her high to the ground, "But then again I don't care!"
Past Heidi tried struggling, but couldn't succeed. She however was able to bring out a few balls from her ninja suit, "Oh put a cork in it." She said and threw the balls at Taichi. The balls hit Taichi, causing a blast that blew him away. Past Heidi then broke out of her capture and landed on the ground safely. She casually walked to the fallen Sorcerer as she brought her sword fort to kill him, "Have any last words?"
The Sorcerer cough as a grin spread in her face, "Yes." Before past Heidi could realize she was tricked, Taichi moved his hand towards her, causing a red circular wall to surround her.
"What is this!?" Past Heidi yelled angrily.
"You're doom." He answered with a dark voice.
At the entrance of the court yard, Past Kim and a few ninjas ran in to aid her. After seeing the school was burning, Past Kim got a few of her Ninja classmates to help her.
"Heidi!" Past Kim shouted horrified.
Immediately, she and the ninjas ran to Heidi's aid. But as they ran closer, they hit an invisible wall. Past Kim punched the wall to break it, but nothing happened. The other ninjas and Past Kim could only watch, horrified as Past Heidi was trapped. The pain soon started as the red wall that trapped Heidi began to slowly suck her youth away in the form of a blue mist. Her body was beginning to grow old skin as some part of her began to fade away.
"Heidi!" Past Kim shouted, tears coming through her eyes as she watched her friend die.
However, Heidi wasn't screaming as her body began to fade to dust. In fact a smile formed on her face as she faced her friend, "Remember what we promised, Kim. Remember the times we had together. And don't worry, we'll meet again." Then she closed her eyes and her body glowed bright blue momentarily. The light died down just as Heidi finally faded to dust.
"HHHHHEEEIIIIDDDI!" Those were the last word before the entire scene went blank.
************************************************** ****(LINE BREAK)******************************************** ****************
Modern Heidi eyes snapped open in shock and fear. Never in her life had she been so scared and afraid, even the nightmares a normal teen would have never terrified her this much. But this was different. It wasn't a dream, it was real and there was nothing she could think that could change that. As she fully woke up she found herself panting furiously as sweat was all over her body and face.
She found that she was no longer in a burning yard, but back at the top of Norrisville high. Seeing that she was back where she should be made her to sigh in relief. However, a muffled cry got her attention. She looked forward to the edge of the roof and saw Kim standing there, her back facing her. Heidi kindly got off the ground and walked next to the girl.
"Are you ok?" Heidi asked with a soft voice. She was never one for comforting, but she could see Kim needed her help.
Kim wiped another tear as she turned to her, "No, I'm not. You just saw what happened. I lost everything to that monster. And do you want to know the worse part?" Heidi didn't ask knowing Kim was going to answer anyway, "He's still alive."
Heidi gasped, "But how?"
"It's a long story." Kim sniffed her nose, "Right now we have to leave. It's getting late."
"Sure. You can stay in my house." Heidi said softly. She let go of Kim and was about to go, but stopped when she noticed Kim wasn't following, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing." Kim let a smile form on her face, "You just need to know my way of leaving."
Heidi walked to her, a smile forming on her face, "And what's that?"
Kim brought out pink balls, "Smoke Bomb!" She shouted and threw the balls to the ground. A cloud of dust covered them.
"Ew, this smells like rotten eggs!" Heidi coughed.
"You'll get used to it!" Kim said.
