Chapter 3Dark chamberThe king watched the previous battle with the red armored boy from a cauldron.
'He is quite formidable,' he thought.
He turned away from the cauldron and walked up to a portrait on the wall. From the figure and attire, the person was clearly a woman, but her face was blocked out by the shadows.
"Soon, my beloved, we shall be together again," he said to the portrait, "soon."

DreamChazz finds himself in a field of flowers as far as the eye can see. Ahead, he could see Alexis with a big smile on her face waving to him.
"Come and catch me, Chazz," said dream Alexis as she ran away.
"Oh, Alexis, my sweet, I'm coming!" Chazz said, giving chase.
After what seemed like hours of running and laughing, Chazz finally caught her. However, she faded away then the field faded away afterwards. Now in nothing but darkness, a voice called out.
"Chazz Princeton, come and join me." The voice was cold and filled with malevolence. "I shall give you power and wealth beyond your wildest dreams."
Out of the darkness, an armored figure casually walked out. "What is your answer?"
"Chazz!" another voice called. He turned around to find Jaden in his Wildfire armor. "Don't do it, Chazz! We need to protect Alexis!"
"I can give you riches, power, anything your heart desires."
"No thanks," Chazz said, "Last time someone offered me that, I ended up brainwashed and did a lot of things I'm not proud of. No way in hell am I going to make that mistake again!"
Then a ringing sounded and the images vanished. Another ringing and sakura petals began to fall around him. A third one and now he could see what looked like a monk holding a staff walking towards him.
"Chazz Princeton, you have shown great wisdom in your choice. You have passed this test," the monk said.
"Test? What test? Just who are you?"
The monk said nothing. The ringing sound picked up again. Chazz noticed it was coming from the monk's staff, six rings clanging against each other, slowly at first then much more rapidly. The orb on top of the staff shined a golden light. The last thing Chazz saw before he woke up was a green-glowing kanji.
"What was that?"

Obelisk Blue DormAlexis was awakened by something nuzzling her cheek. She opened her eyes to see Jaden's pet tiger. She greeted the white beast with a pat on the head. It was a little strange at first for many of the students at the blue girls' dorm, having White Blaze as a guest. It took some time for Mindy, Jazz and Alexis to show them that he was as harmless as a kitten. Some are still a little pensive having a tiger in the dorm despite the assurance that he wasn't going to hurt anyone.
During classes, White Blaze would wait outside the door for Alexis. Sometimes Pharaoh would appear to keep him company. Alexis didn't have to worry much since Jaden was in most of her classes, she was guarded inside the room and outside. After a few days the students and faculty got use to the tiger waiting for Alexis and would occasionally pet him. She noticed today that Chazz seemed a bit spacey… more so than usual.

"Percival, why don't you take the first strike?"
"Very well, I will. I shall take some knights with me to handle that boy. I will carry out the king's wish without fail."

"It's been a while since those walking trash cans showed up," said Alexis.
After classes, she, Mindy, Jazz and White Blaze decided to head back to the dorms, thinking it would be safer to stay inside.
"You know Lex, I can't help but feel jealous of you," Mindy said.
"Jealous? How?"
"This whole situation is like something out of a fairytale."
The other two girls and the tiger looked at her in confusion.
'She reads way too many romance novels,' the two girls thought.
"Hey, Lex!" the group turned to see Jaden coming their way. He greeted Jazz and Mindy then gave his tiger a friendly pet.
"Any sign of those knights?" Alexis asked.
"Nah, it's been quiet."
The sound of horse neighing caught their attention. Off to the side, they could see a man garbed in armor riding a horse. As he got closer, the man's features became more noticeable, blonde wavy hair and green eyes on a rugged face. Mindy and Jazz instantly had hearts in their eyes but Jaden and Alexis had more serious looks.
"Looks like I spoke to soon. Guess that's my cue to suit up?" Jaden took out his small orb.
'Virtue' a bright flash of red and Jaden was now in his sub-armor.Jazz came up to Alexis. "Is that the armor you told us about?"
"Not yet"
The horseman stopped and looked at Jaden.
"I told you the next time we met it would be your last. Prepare yourself!"
With that, over two dozen knights appeared.
"These guys just don't learn. ARMOR OF WILDFIRE… TAO JIN!"
Tapestry scrolls unraveled around him and rose into the air. Once they reached their peak, they burst into sakura petals. Red samurai style armor was added to the armor he already had. Fins protruded from the forearms and added armor to the boots he had on before. The shoulder armor stuck out with blue marking. The body area having more red armor with the sides being partly blue. On his back were two swords with blue hilts and golden guards in black sheathes. He then held out his hand and let some of the petals gather into it. As he raised the hand up over his head. They then transformed into a red helmet with bladed horns and a mask. When he put it on, the mask split down the middle and slid to the sides to show his face.
A spotlight shined down on Jaden in his new armor as the remaining petals fell.
Mindy and Jazz looked on in awe.
"That is the armor I told you about," Alexis said with pride.
Jaden reached behind and drew his swords. The horseman got off and drew his own sword. 3 knights charged forward but with a few quick slashes, Jaden made quick work of them. Light bursts from the armors and they became empty. 2 more charged with swords in hand. Jaden blocked their multiple swings. The knights got on either side of him and moved for a beheading strike. Jaden ducked and watched the two knights strike each other in the chest. Once again, light burst forth and the armors clattered. Jaden saw the rest all charge at once. Knowing he couldn't take them all, he connected the hilts together, signaling he was about to perform his sure-kill attack. Alexis saw this and moved her friends to get away. Unfortunately, the horseman saw this, too.
"Oh, no you don't."
He snapped his fingers and tall yardarm (or gallows, whichever you wanna call it) shot out of the ground. A noose also shot out, wrapped around Mindy's wrists and dragged her up off the ground.
"Mindy!"
Jaden growled at this development. If he tried to do his Wildfire Flare, Mindy would be incinerated. With no other choice, he split his swords apart and prepared to defend himself.
Mindy watch below as Jaden fought the small army. She was startled when a hand covered her mouth. She turned to towards the owner to find… Chazz.
"Don't worry, I'll have you out of this."
Before he could go to work, a hand grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up to come face to face with the horseman.
"I'm afraid I can't let you do that. It was a good try though, but not good enough."
The horseman eyed a well close by. The same well Chazz dived into to gather cards for a duel in the past. With all his might, the horseman threw Chazz through the air and right down the well.
"CHAZZ!" Mindy shouted.
Jaden had witnessed Chazz's attempt to rescue Mindy as well as his failure and 'flight'. Now he was even more determined to defeat the enemy.

In the wellChazz got up on his feet, groaning in pain.
"That was graceful," he said sarcastically.
"Chazz Princeton"Chazz looked up. It was the monk from before.
"It's you, from my dream."
"Chazz Princeton, your desire to aid your friends is commendable. The power to do so is not beyond your grasp."
"How do I get it?"
"You already have it. Just calm your mind and search within yourself. There, you will find what is needed to call upon the power." With that, the monk vanished.
Chazz contemplated on what to do. Figuring he had nothing to lose, he closed his eyes and focused. Within his mind, he could see a small faint green light. He concentrated on that and the light grew brighter. His eyes burst open and a green glowing kanji appeared on his forehead
'Wisdom'He raised his arms to the side and called out:
"ARMOR OF HALO… TAO CHI!
Yoroi x Yoroi x Yoroi x Yoroi x Yoroi x Yoroi x Yoroi x Yoroi x
A bright surge of power erupted from the well, destroying it and nearly blinding everyone. Mindy felt something cut the ropes above her hands. She didn't fall even two feet before being snatched up in someone's arm. The light faded and Mindy looked up to see her rescuer was Chazz, garbed in green armor and wielding a no-datchi. When he landed he let Mindy go.
"You all right?" he asked.
"Yeah"
She took a better look at Chazz's new armor. It was slightly similar to Jaden's red armor. It was mostly green except for the underside of the arms, on the thighs and parts of the shins.. The chest plate was black up to the neck. Unlike Jaden's armor, the shoulder guards drooped over the arm instead of sticking out. The helmet had golden horn-like 'antennas' on the forehead, like in that anime "Gundam". In his hand was a huge sword. The guard was a four-point star. The blade was a bit odd, on the dull side, there was some sort of handle while on the sharp side, a small piece near the base jutted out and curved down into a hook.
"You better take cover. This is going to get messy," Chazz said and then dashed off to help Jaden.
"Uh yeah," Mindy simply said and took off in the opposite direction while she wistfully thought, 'My hero'

Jaden was completely surrounded by the empty husks of metal. Unsure of what to do, a voice echoed over the knights.
"Hey Jaden, Mindy's safe now! You can cut loose!"
Jaden turned towards Alexis and Jazz and motioned for them to take cover. Once they were far enough away, he connected the hilts together again and jumped into the air.
"Okay let's try this again. FLARE UP, NOW!"
He then brought his blades down in a slash. In a bright flash, all of the knights were vaporized.
The horseman was not pleased with this turnabout. He slowly made his advance towards Jaden, who was tired from all the fighting.
"Hold it"
The horseman turned around to find the boy he tossed away not too long ago.
"Attacking someone when they're down and tired is hardly honorable. If you want an opponent, then fight me!"
The horseman scoffed at the boy.
"Have it your way, stupid fool."
The horseman readied his sword and Chazz did likewise. The young samurai then charged forward but the knight blocked with his shield. Chazz backed off and then attacked again. The knight blocked with his sword. Chazz tried for three strikes but each was either blocked or dodged.
"You've gotten stronger but if you think you can beat me by just wildly swinging your sword, you're sadly mistaken."
Chazz realized he was getting nowhere.
'Just calm your mind and search within yourself. There, you will find what is needed to call upon the power.'
He recalled the monk's words. He took a stance and focused on his opponent and the task at hand. What he didn't notice were the clouds that seemed to form up above where he stood. Chazz raised his sword above his head and lightning began to flash in the clouds. One bolt shot down at Chazz's sword but did not shock him. The blade was covered from tip to base with glowing green power. The words Chazz searched for in his mind came rushing forward.
"THUNDER BOLT CUT!"
He swung his sword in a diagonal slash, launching a wave of energy at the horseman. The knight held up his shield to defend himself but when the wave struck, he was pushed back several feet before his shield was shattered and the attack hit him in the chest. After having been sent sailing through the air, the horseman landed, groaning in great pain.
"It seems I underestimated you. Rest assured, I will be back."
With that, he disappeared. Chazz relaxed and stabbed his sword into the ground.
"That was intense. So this is what you go through?" Chazz said, taking off his helmet.
"Yeah, but you know, you didn't do so bad for a first-timer." Chazz turned to see Jaden with his own helmet off, smiling at him proudly.
"Maybe, but I still need to work on my swordplay."
"I can help you with that. I'm well trained in swordplay."
"Jaden! Chazz!"
The two Ronins turned to see Alexis and her two friends coming back. When they got there Jazz and Alexis looked at Chazz in surprise.
"Whoa Chazz, what happened to you?" Jazz asked.
"He just became a Ronin Warrior," Jaden answered.
"Yup, and now that I have, you've now got double the protection, Lex," Chazz said proudly. White Blaze let out a small irritated roar.
"Alright, triple the protection." The tiger purred in satisfaction.
Syrus and everyone else came running towards them. Having seen the explosion caused by Jaden, they figured the knights had returned. They were pretty surprised when the saw what Chazz now wore. After having explained what happened, everyone decided to head back to the dorms.
"By the way, Jaden, how do I get this armor off?"

A/N: another down, this one took me a while.
I'm considering bringing in another anime to give Alexis and her friends powers to fight as well, but I'm not sure. I don't want her to seem like the damsel-in-distress type. If I do, which should I bring in?
