No reviews... but I shalt update in any case!
I don't own... ah, screw it. Didn't you get it already?
Yeah...
Just read it, alright? Thanks. Love you.
"Oh, no... the final Site..." Hinageshi looked like she might cry. "They summoned Captain Planet before we did..."
Growling, Hiei unveiled his Jagan. What he was looking for is still unknown to this day, but whatever it was, his progress was halted by the dreaded Green Screen of Death.
Kuwahara had gotten up (magically conscious) and was walking toward the Site to stand near the others. They all stood transfixed, staring at the beam of Empire energy, bigger than any they had ever seen. Small beams of electricity connected the beams at the Elemental Sites of the Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water. Their beam - the Elemental Site of the Heart - was directly in the center.
And then there was a huge explosion contained by the barrier created by the Elemental Sites. Sadly, our four heroes were almost directly in the center of said explosion.

Somewhere safe outside the explosion, short beams of light were beginning to drift upward. Yodakumo started to laugh. "With this, nearly upon us the return of the Empire is! Summoned Captain Planet before those fools from the Spirit World we have!"
One of the Demon Gods appeared behind Yodakumo. "Lord Yodakumo."
There was silence, and then Yodakumo asked, "Definite, it is?"
"Yes," the Demon God answered with a nod. "There exists one more virgin from the Spirit World."
"Excellent. Many years for this I have waited... the moment the Empire restored on new territory will be!"

Meanwhile, our heroes (and Hinageshi), not very far from where they had been before the explosion, came to their senses.
Yusuke was the first to speak. "Where... are we?"
"Look!" Hinageshi cried, pointing to another area of the city. This area was now surrounded by a deep purple color.
"It appears that somehow... we were transported... over here," Kurama said.
"What do they expect us to do now?" Hinageshi whined.
Hiei grunted.
Kurama winced in pain, grabbing his right side.
Kuwahara growled. Then he nearly collapsed. Apparently the growling had used up all of the energy he had left. Hinageshi went to help steady him, but he shoved her away. He didn't want any girls touching him except Yukina.

The next day, Kurama, looking suspiciously like Keiko, was at an unknown apartment, overlooking a river. He was obviously lost in thought. He started at the area of the city, once surrounded by a dark purple color, now surrounded by a lighter purple color.
"That's it!" the redhead said randomly. "A shield has risen... protecting the area the Empire's appeared in!"
"Well, then, explain this to me," Kuwahara said, now that Kurama was back inside and had shared his findings with him, Hiei, and Hinageshi. Yusuke was mysteriously absent. "Why isn't the entire city going nuts?"
"That's the power of the Empire..." Hinageshi began, but Kurama finished for her. "It has caused the people not to notice things that they normally would have."
"Not that the humans would notice much," Hiei grunted.
"What?" the slow redhead asked.
"Do you remember the demon roundworm monsters?" the fox-demon asked.
"Yeah; what about them?"
"Could anyone see them but you and Yusuke?"
"No... oh! You mean normal humans didn't notice them!"
"Exactly," Kurama answered, pleased. "Most normal humans would not notice the presence of the Empire... but they would notice the shield. It looks rather like Aurora Borealis, does it not?"
Kuwahara thought hard, and then looked out the window. "The Northern Lights, yeah, it does."
"But the Empire has the power to make normal humans not notice anything out of place. That is why we are not affected."
"Oh... okay."
"Where's Yusuke?" Kurama asked after a minute or so of silence.
Kuwahara sighed. "Keiko went back to the temple, so..." He shrugged. "Yusuke went with her, to check on Botan."
Hiei, bored, opened the sliding door that let out onto the patio.
"What's wrong with you?"
"If no one here has a good plan, I'll take care of it myself."
