"Speaking"

'Thoughts'

Last Time

There was still a foreboding thought Rick couldn't shake, actually two of them.

She knew that this is the right time to strike. She jumped out of Rick's shadow and prepared to strike. Rick was faster he turned from the chair he was in kicked her straight in the stomach, sending her outside. He jumped out after her to prepare to fight.

The woman named Ashley gave a nod and went to her computer to go back to work. Personally she didn't want to stop them, she wanted to help them and she found the only one on the team that she can contact. That person is Matt and he could hook her up with Rick. They can both understand her. She could slip the information and warn them in case something bad happens.

Rick saw the person that was giving him a bad feeling in front of him. He could tell it was a she because of the form. She had covered herself in black tight clothing that is more modern than an old ninja. She had two kunais in each hand which came from the one of the strips of belts that holds them. She had one on each end of her limbs, one that goes around her waist in the style of a belt, and one over the shoulder. She also had a katana on her back that was also black with no other color on the handle, yet still it was a bit light in some areas where the designs are visible. The only part of the body that isn't covered is the tail which is like his, except it look sharper, knife like and her eyes that held a dark blue coloring, and her ears which probably won't do much covered.

The ninja growled at him, a low rumble from her throat. She instantly charged at him, her right arm reeled back and ready to strike at him. Rick leaned out of the way of the arm swing and made her trip onto the ground with his right leg. She fell to the ground with a thud and left go of the kunais in her hands. Once she was on the ground he kicked away one of the kunais, but before he could get the other ones she immediately grab for it and brought her arm around to stab him.

She got lucky as she hit him on his left leg. He tried not to look at it since he knows that if the brain sees the damage it will hurt more. Leaning down quick, and not looking, he took out the kunai and threw it at her. She caught it before it could impale her on her muzzle and picked up the other one.

Rick looked at the home that was behind the ninja and saw that Voidess is coming toward him. He immediately put his left hand on the ground. A series of lighting and bright lights from where he put his hand came out. Soon a circle that look like a spell circle with an outer circle with symbols and an inner circle with lines that criss-cross each other making a star. The whole circle grew bigger until it stops at where Voidess is, creating a circle half as big as the field. It went past the ninja, but didn't do anything to her. A wall of light rose up from the outermost ring until it reached the sky. (As we know the sky's the limit and it is endless.)

Voidess tried to go further, but the second she touched the wall of light she got a shock and thrown back on the ground. She groaned and tried to sit up, but only reached halfway.

Rick took his hand off the ground and faces the ninja again. The ninja turned around to see Voidess on the ground. She then turned back to face Rick again.

"Do not touch the light wall or that would happen again. This fight is between us and no one interferes." Voidess called on her second level ground solider to help her. He came out of one of the void portals and proceeded to Voidess. He looks like an army soldier expect he has monstrous features. He was carrying a large tomahawk in his right arm. He held out a hand which she accepted. Unfortunately, the wall did more damage than she thought and had to lean against the solider for support.

Rick held out both his hands to his sides. His right hand had a white cloud with lights, while his left hand had a darker version, both of which is can be confused as a galaxy cloud. The clouds extended toward the ground and formed a sword in each hand. His right one had a gold color under the white wrapping and the blade is bright white, as all the darkness that touches it won't make it darker. The left one had a red color with a black wrapping and the blade is completely black, as if all the light disappeared in it. Both were twins and double edge.

He looked at the swords and wondered how he did that. He hasn't had any practice with his powers so how did that happen. He made the spell circle on his own, but the swords he didn't know how to. He shook the thoughts out of his head for now. Now another problem arose from this. How, in the voiding hell, was he supposed to use the swords? He did fantasize now and then, with him holding twin swords backhanded. Oh well, a fantasy is better than nothing. He turned the swords in his hand so they were handled backward. How, in the fucking voiding hell, did he do that? First he made swords that he didn't even know and he's handling them like he is expert. He was able to turn the swords by just bringing the arms up and then catching them when they were in the right position. This fight is causing more questions than answers.

He turns back to the ninja that is watching him carefully, waiting for anything and any sign of weakness. He suddenly staggered when he felt his heart catch and caused him pressure in his chest. This is one of the worst times for this. He had this problem since he was twelve and the time between each attack is lessening. The ninja saw this as an opportunity to strike and maybe this time she will succeeded.

She threw the kunais at him and reached for others to throw. Rick recovered enough to see them coming and tried to dodge out of the way or at least try to. He got out of the way of one, but the other slice his right arm around the shoulder. He bled slightly from the thin line cut from the kunai, but still it barely affected him. He then saw other kunais that were damn near impossible to count coming towards him. He held up his left hand and opened it up to the point where he is hanging on the sword. He creates a wall of physic energy where it stops every kunai that was thrown. He then twirled his finger once which made the kunais turn around to point at the ninja. He then closed his hand which made the kunais launch at her.

She dodges every kunai that comes at her. When every kunai has passed she looks at Rick for another attack, but sees that Rick is smirking at her. 'Why is he smirking?' She then got a look of shock on her face, well to her under the clothes. She turns around to see every kunai she dodged turned towards her. The kunais came at her again and again she dodges. The kunais turn again and she dodges again. The kunais then turn again and she dodges again. This goes for five more times until Rick decides she had enough. He let go of holding his physic hold on the kunais and they all drop to the ground.

By now the ninja is panting and groaning with every move she makes; her cramps coming from the dodges. She reaches for her katana on her back and took it out of its sheath. She took the katana with both hands and waited for Rick's next attack.

Rick look at her mildly. He then ran her with both arms pulled back for a double strike. When he got to her he put his legs forward and slid under her. At the same time slice both of her knees where it would stagger anyone. She immediately went to her knees as the damage took place. Rick got up again and held her at sword point with one across her neck and the other dangerously close to the back of her neck where her spine is. She held her breath as she felt the metal that felt cold though her clothe. She drops her katana and surrendered right there. If she moves the sword on the front of her neck will slice it and he would push the one on her back and maybe kill her.

Rick gave a wolfish grin as he moves the swords away from her and step back. The ninja turn to look at her with knowing eyes. She has failed. Now what was she supposed to do now. She broke out of her thoughts when Rick offered a hand to her. She smiled inwardly and took it. When she got to full height she closed her eyes and fainted. Rick drops the swords and caught her, the swords disappearing away before they touched the ground. He takes the clothing from her head to see what she really was.

Surprisingly she looked like him only more feminine. He shook his head at her. She was able to survive that long against him than she's good, especially since she was probably still able to move when she staggered.

The spell circle faded away, signaling that the fight was over. Voidess, now better, ran over to him to check him for wounds, but found none. Rick simply smile at her and started to carry the ninja inside the house, bridal style. Voidess stared at him in disbelief. Wasn't she trying to kill him a second ago? She sighed and followed him to the house still having a slight anger on the ninja.

Halfway there the ninja started to wake up. She groans and then felt warmth and movement. She opened her eyes to find Rick staring at her with a slight concerned look on his face.

"You okay?"

She opened her eyes wide and realized that he is carrying her. She shook her head to get rid of the dizziness and put a hand to her head. "I've failed." She spoke in a quiet whisper.

"Failed? More like passed." She looked at him again when he said this. He had a big smile on his face. She didn't win, so how did she pass. "Welcome to the team." With that she felt sleep starting to overcome her. She stayed awake waiting for the right time to get to him and that was too long. Then she remembered what he said when he first talked to her. "I want to test you to see if you're good enough. So come find me and get me in a fight. Don't kill me; just get me enough to knock me out. You may choose any method you see fit." That was their physic connection they had a day ago. Apparently Rick had been practicing with his powers a bit and opened a physic line to her. She's been destined for this because her parents use to tell a story about this and how she will help. It was hard to believe and she chocked it up to be a fairy tale, until that happened. She couldn't think anymore because sleep got to her.

Rick sees that she's finally asleep and looked back at his home to see Matt standing there, his parents nowhere in sight. Maybe Voidess sent them home when the fight broke out. He concluded that this is one of those peaceful walks, well almost.

"Hiya!"

He takes a look around till he sees his human side floating on his left side, laying stomach up like there was a platform. His human side looks like him except that he had longer hair that covered the back of his neck and extended a few inches more and covered his left eye and part of his right in straight lines in a curve, which made him look more mysterious and menacing. He has a slight happy expression his face.

"You know that being here like this is great." He did a few twirls in midair, looking excited, before stopping belly down this time. "Course it still isn't as fun as being in real world."

Rick merely stared at him for a second, with a slight frown on his face, before saying "I'll deal with you later." His human side just smiled before disappearing. Matt look on with concern as he thought that Rick might have gone crazy for a second, because it looked like he was talking to thin air, he would just have to worry about it later. When Rick finally reaches the mansion he asks Matt in a hushed voice "Can you get the first aid kit?" Matt nodded and went inside to get the kit. Matt knew that Rick won't help someone unless they need it and this one does.

Voidess came to Rick as he opened the door with physic. "Why are you helping her when she tried to kill you a few minutes ago?" She said loudly, making the ninja wolf stir a bit in Rick's arms. She is still angry that Rick is helping the enemy or so she thought.

"Cause I called her here." Rick said proudly and quietly.

Voidess jaw fell at the sound of that. He. Called. Her. Here. What was he thinking, bringing a possible enemy on his front doorstep? Is he always this crazy?

"And if you are thinking I'm crazy, then yeah I am." Rick said as if he is reading her mind.

Voidess brought her jaw back up and went into the house with him. Once inside he placed the ninja on one of the couches in the living room. Matt walked in with the first aid kit Rick requested. Rick took the kit and started to tear apart the places where she was hurt and started to heal her up. She probably won't like it if he took everything off. Voidess just huffed at the treatment and left to go to her room.

"Don't worry, she'll cool off." Rick said without taking his eyes off from healing the ninja.

Matt, who was worried, let the thought of an angry Voidess running around the house out of his mind.

"By the way, can you make a mercenary site? We're going to need money and that's one way." Rick told.

Matt nodded going to the basement to set up the site and upgrade the computers and servers more. This only left Rick and the ninja in the living room. Once Rick was finished with bandaging her he packed up the kit and sat on the opposite couch. (The couches were arranged in a square with a space to walk in at every corner.) He felt something missing from this situation. Oh yeah, Mia and Darack, where are they?

As if on cue Mia and Darack floated down the stairs. When they saw the ninja on the couch Darack went in front of Mia intending on protecting her. Rick just chuckled and wave to them, telling them that it's alright. Mia pushed Darack out of the way and went towards the ninja, intent on making a new friend. She became disappointed when she found her sleeping. Darack came closer, yet still keeping caution.

"She's going to be asleep for a while. Come back later." He waved them good night and they left.

There is still something that needs to be dealt with. "You mean me?" He turned to see his human side upside down with his legs hanging over the top of the couch and his head over the edge with his hands behind his head. "I can read your thoughts. We have the same soul, but deferent bodies, so in turn this is your human side taking to you." Rick stared incredulously at him. "Course, when you think about it, it's kinda of like talking to yourself. Oh and if you're wondering where I learn this, I didn't. I came up with a theory myself. 'When you're alone and have nothing to do, you think.' Is what I…well we always say." The real Rick gave a nod of approval. He always does that. "You should talk to Voidess about our ninja friend. She feels mistrusted." Rick got a sorrowful look on his face at that. He should talk to her. Not now though, tomorrow. "I'll see you tomorrow." With that he disappeared.

He turned back to the ninja lying on the couch. In this whole situation he hasn't learn her name. Maybe she'll tell him when she wakes up. He still couldn't get a foreboding thought out of his head, one that keeps bothering him.

Ashley has been looking all over the internet for the two people she wants to talk with now. She's been able to hide this through her own encryption program that's stronger than the DOD and using an unused port that no one will notice. She already got information that's up to date and placed an alert every time there's something new showing up. This means that no one will be bothering her when she's doing this.

She then saw something on Matt's file. He has a username that says 'Dragonbreath27'. She grins and search for it. She got to a site for hackers and saw that Matt is an experience hacker. He had more replays than anyone on the net for hacking skills. This will come in handy. She saw that he had a webcam IP so that's even better.

She starts to type in the information on her computer's webcam program. When she sees that she's been accepted, she almost cheered. When the screen cleared it showed Matt in his human form in the basement of Rick's mansion. He had rock music playing from the computer.

He cleared his throat and said "How can I help you?" He spoke like a professional businessman.

Ashley let go of the stiffen posture she had. "Look I don't have a lot of time." She looks around for anyone coming in, but got lucky and saw no one. "I can help you."

Matt looks at her weirdly. "What do you mean you can help me?" He needs to get back to the site building and this is wasting his time. It's a good thing that this line is encrypt and very untraceable. He knew that the government is after him since that he is best friends with Rick, others will tell on them. "Who are you?" He noted that the background looks like a control room instead of a home. He was starting to get suspicious.

She sighs heavily. She knew that he would catch on quick. "I'm the intelligence collector and contact at the DOD and I've been assigned to your case."

Matt froze. He didn't expect them to find him so fast. "Oh shit." He whispered under his breath. He was about to cut the communication when Ashley spoke up.

"Don't do that, I won't turn you in. I want to help you."

Matt stops short from pressing the button to end the call. He looks up to Ashley. He pulls his hand back and sits back in his chair more comfortably. He looks her square, or oval, in the eyes. "Alright talk."

This is probably one of the longest I've type up now. This is your lucky day guys and girls, placing two chapters instead of one. Please review. Oh and Ri2 has made a new chapter that has Lugia turned back to his normal self. Now he's joining the group. Whoohoo, a legendary on the team. Check it out.

Anyways Wolfdragon out.
