Chapter 9: The Samurai Girl: The Secret of Force

The next morning, they finally arrived at their destination, a temple with a waterfall and people who were dressed almost like monks.

"What is this place?" Meryl gasped in awe. A villager noticed them with a smile and she walked up to them.

"Welcome to Fuchin Temple! Did you come from the bridge? I see it is opened again. Are you travelers?" The woman asked.

"Yes. Yes we are." Serena nodded. "I know! You should see Master Nyunpa, he's currently meditating and he's concerned about the gems felling from the sky." The woman went back to work on her garden.

"Maybe this Master Nyunpa will help us on getting past that evil forest." Millie suggested cheerfully.

Suddenly, Renee noticed something up in the sky. "Is that…?" Renee wondered, the party looked up above them and saw the Sigil of the Sun in the sky.

"It's the Sigil of the Sun!" Zoey gasped. "And judging from the height and location, it's in the sky meaning someone-" Before Bridget can finish, a scream was heard from the Sigil and a girl fell out of it and landed on the pond. Granite made an earth barrier to protect his friends from the water. "…will fall in the water." Renee finished.

The party stared at the pond for 49 seconds till the girl got out of the pond. They took a good look at her.

She was about 16 years old. She has red long hair, tied in a yellow ribbon, lavender eyes, she wore a red and yellow school girl uniform and on her hip is a wooden sword.

The girl shook herself in a attempt to get dry. She noticed the party and placed her hands on her hips.

"Don't you know it's rude to stare at someone like that?" She scolded. "But uh… You fell into that pond over there." Garet replied, suddenly, the girl got out her wooden sword and pointed it at Garet's throat. (A/N: Again, not trying to bash Garet!)

"Are you insulting me?" She growled. "No no!" Millie waved her arms up and down. "Garet wouldn't do that!" She reasoned.

"Hmm…" The girl narrowed her eyes on Isaac. "You!" She pointed.

"Me?" Isaac blinked. "I sense some semi powerful chi coming from you. You look like a worthy opponent. So let's fight!" The red haired girl got in a battle stance.

"Wait, what?" Serena and Mina gawked. "If she wants a fight, then I'll accept her challenge." Isaac stated as he too got in a battle stance.

"Good! Before we start, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Ryoko Mitsurugi, a student of Daimon High and Current K-Fight Champion." Ryoko smirked.

"My name is Isaac from the village of Vale." Isaac stated as he unsheathed his sword. "Vale? Never heard of it, but it doesn't matter. K-Fight start!" Ryoko charged at Isaac.

"Watch out!" Flint gawked, Isaac raised an earth barrier and lifted it, blocking Ryoko's attack. "N-Nani?" Ryoko gasped as she was bounced back by the rock barrier.

"W-What the hell? What kind of move is that?" Ryoko demanded. Isaac shrugged. "Normally, we kept Psynergy a secret, but since then, I had to use it." Isaac stated. "Don't give me excuses!" Ryoko yelled, an angry vein as she charged at Isaac. He sighed as soon as Ryoko got near, Isaac used his Psyenrgy to make a earth pillar spring underneath her.

Ryoko screamed in surpised as she was flung from the air and crashed landed on the ground. When the dust cleared, the party saw Ryoko with anime swirly eyes.

"Well that was quick…" Wolfwood commented as he smoked. Isaac and the rest head towards the temple. "Bridget, get someone to take care of Ryoko." Isaac issued. "Got it." Bridget nodded as she stayed to get some help for Ryoko.

Isaac and the party entered the temple and saw a old man mediating.

"Maybe that's Nyunpa?" Reina guessed. "Hey. Excuse us mister Nyunpa?" Rini asked politely. The man indentified as Nyunpa was silent.

"I said Hey!" Rini tapped her foot. Still nothing.

"Um… Earth to Nyunpa?" Corina waved her hand back and forth hoping to get his attention, still nothing.

"Hmm…" Ivan stated as he walked up to him. "You thought of something, Ivan?" Mia asked. Unknown to them, Melona and Menace were watching from afar.

"This old guy is giving me the creeps. Why won't he say something?" Melona shivered. "Maybe he's too old and frozen stiff?" Menace shrugged.

Ivan used Mind Read on him. '…Who is it reading my mind?' Then Nyunpa opened his eyes. "Wha!" Garet, Vash, Serena and Mina gawked as they stepped back a few. "Don't scare us like that, old man!" Garet shouted.

"Ah, so it was you! I been expecting you!" Nyunpa smiled. "Wait, you were expecting us?" Alleyne asked. "Yes. I had a vision… A group of warriors from this world and other worlds would come to Fuchin Temple to learn the secret of Force." Nyunpa explained.

"Force, Wise Nyunpa?" Mia gasped. "Yes. It is what you called Psynergy… At long last, someone worthy of acquiring one of the powers to save the world." Nyunpa looked at the party with a smile.

"You need Force to get by that evil forest. I'll let the guard know you're here to obtain it. Also, an friend of mine, an Djinni will help you and join you on your quest." Nyunpa then used his power to sent out a telepathic message to the guard near a waterfall.

"Thank you, Master Nyunpa." Nowa smiled as the party exited.

They met up with Bridget and they told her what happened, after that, they went to the waterfall and entered a cave. Melona and Menace were absorbing the information.

"Force, eh? I would love to get my hands on a power like that." Melona stated. "Let's follow them." Menace suggested as the duo entered the cave as well.

When the party reached the middle room, a different shaped Djinni appeared before them.

"Hey there! Name's Zephyr. I got the word from Master Nyunpa to help you on your quest. So I'll be joining you now." Zephyr stated as she perched on Bridget's shoulder.

"Thank you! I hope we get along well, Zephyr." Bridget smiled at her new found friend and companion.

The party pressed on, they have to solve a few puzzles, but they made it to the end.

Isaac and his friends stared at a red orb on a pedestal. Garet could feel Mars Psynergy coming from the orb.

"Let me get it." Garet told everyone. "Oh no you don't!" The party turned to see Melona and Menace in battle ready stances.

"Oh not you guys again!" Corina moaned as she and Renee transformed. Serena and Rayne transformed into Sailor Moon and Mars as well.

"That orb looks pricey. Hand it over!" Menace shouted as she laushed her staff at the party, they dodged it. Vash fired a few shots at her, giving her some damage.

"Mars Flame Snipers!" Mars launched a fire attack at the duo followed by Sailor Moon's Silver Moon Kiss, the duo dodged it.

"Heart Arrow!" "Spire!" Corina and Renee launched some attacks normal and Psynergy at the duo, but Melona put up a slime barrier to block them. "Nyah!" Melona stick her tounge at the party. But then, she saw Garet glowed with Psynergy.

Garet let out a yell and shouted "Force!" Garet did a move simlar to Goku of Dragon Ball Z and fired a small but powerful blast of red energy at the duo, Melona and Menace didn't have time to block it and were blasted out of the cave.

In the sky…

"Drat! Foiled again!" Melona fumed as she folded her arms. "Here we go again…" Menace moaned as the duo crashed landed somewhere near Fuchin Temple.

Back to the party…

"Ah! I see you managed to use Force, Garet. Only a Fire Adept can use its powers to hit foes and objects to help them on the way." Nyunpa smiled, the party were in Nyunpa's temple.

"So only Garet can use it? Oh man…" Mina pouted. "Did you see that, Alleyne?" Garet grinned at her. "Hmm… Not bad… for a beginner…" She replied coolly. "Aw come on!"

"Now you can get past that evil forest south of here. I wish you luck on your travels." Nyunpa wished them well. "Thank you for the help, Nyunpa." Isaac and Zoey bowed politely as the party exited.

As the party left Fuchin Temple,

"H-Hey! Wait up!" The party turned to see Ryoko running up to them, panting heavily.

"Ryoko?" Meryl blinked. "What are you doing here?" Amara questioned. Ryoko pointed her finger at Isaac.

"I'm coming with you so I can train harder for a rematch with Isaac!" She stated. "Wait what?" Reina face faulted.

"That's right. I heard the story from that old guy, Nyunpa or whatever his name is and I figured if I'm stuck here in another dimension after Isaac beaten me, I decided to travel with you so I can get stronger and have my rematch!" Ryoko smirked.

"Hold on, Miss Ryoko. This journey is too dangerous, we seen you fight, but the monsters in this world may be too much for you." Mia protested.

"I have to agree with Mia on this one." Nowa nodded. "I'm coming with you and there is nothing you can say that can change my mind!" Ryoko frowned.

"Just let her come with us." Wolfwood moaned. "Okay, Miss Ryoko, you can come with us. But I will try to have our rematch." Isaac closed his eyes and smiled.

"Good." Ryoko smirked.

And by a twist of fate, the Samurai Girl, Ryoko Mitsurugi has joined the party. The evil forest awaits!

A/N: Whew! Sorry it took me so long to finish this chapter. And sorry it was somewhat short. Anyway, since I been looking at the first (Second chapter) I think Book 1 needs more crossovers, I say about six. I need some help on adding those two empty slots of anime to appear in the story. Tell me what you think, okay? See ya next time!
