Plot Reveled

"So she was one of those Interpol pests. Well, I'll take great joy in ending both your lives!" he snarled evilly and charged.

Ryo was quick to react and pushed Mulan out of the way and jumped over the former mobster.

"Let's see how you like the taste of a shock blast!" he called, grabbing his shock pistil that was secured at his ankle, aimed and fired at him. But the blast just ricocheted off the demon and hit the wall. "What! How is that possible?" he questioned, landing on the ground with ease. The evil polar bear laughed at the boy's shock.

"Foolish child; I am a demon now. You cannot hurt me with those mortal weapons!" the giant so arrogantly explained.

"What do you mean by you're demon now? Weren't you one before? A bastard like you has to be for what you've done; before or after death," Mulan stated while she brushed herself off.

"Ha, thank you for the compliment, my dear," he replied in a creepy chuckle which made the poor girl's skin crawl with a shudder. "But unfortunately I was still mortal when that blasted Cooper gang and those women brought an end to my plan of building a criminal empire!"

"And thank goodness you were stopped or my aunts would have never been saved," Mulan retorted. "Plus those other women you mistreated, you perverted monster!"

"Foolish girl, I am getting tired of you. Now die!" he yelled and aimed a dark blast of energy her way. She gasped in horror but she was spared when Ryo quickly grabbed her and jumped out of the way. Polarsky noticed as the boy set her down he never took his eyes off him with a manic look in his different colored eyes.

"Never aim an attack against a lady you bastard, or you will feel my wraith," the teen said, his voice cold and emotionless. This frightened Mulan; hearing his voice change so cruel… it just did seem like his character.

He then readdressed her in a softer tone so Polarsky wouldn't hear, "Mulan run! Don't look back and hide. The best place where you can be safe it is near Alex's house. There's a hotel called Rue De La Park;ask for a man namedPierre. Tell him about Polarsky. He should supply you with shelter. Make sure to find your sister too so they'll be safe too."

Mulan nodded and ran off to find her sister and the others. "Now, we can truly fight!" Ryo said summoning up a pale yellow blade using his alchemist powers. "I am Kanuke Ryo, son of Kanuke Ryu, former No. XIII; and the bringer of your end!" he charged and the battle began again.

Both were too busy to notice that someone was missing…

C´est Sing

Celeste's sister, Belinda, eventually returned. She was a pretty green skinned turtle girl with short blond hair that went to her shoulders and joined into the conversation, chatting and giggling away. They talked for awhile till Mulan came rushing into the store. "Girls, we need to get out of here!" she called. The girls noticed she was sweaty and a bit edgy.

"What do you mean Mulan?" her sister asked. Mulan then explained the circumstances and the others looked at her in horror, "What Polarsky! Impossible… wasn't he hanged a long time ago? I mean, that's what father told us."

"I know but he says he is a demon now… I don't know. But we need to go before he comes for us," Mulan said but heard a voice from behind.

"Have you forgotten about me, dearie?" the girls looked and Mulan groaned.

"How can I forget a traitorous witch like you?" Mulan countered "Honestly Neyla. What do you want?"

"Simple really. I've been looking for a great apprentice," Neyla stated.

"Yeah, right. I would rather be dead!" Mulan retorted.

"What about any of you?" she asked curiously.

"No way!" shouted Amelia.

"Non!" agreed Celeste.

"No thank you!" said Belinda along with the others.

Mulan looked and nodded to Celeste who hit a button under the counter. The switch activated and the lights went out and when the lights then blinked back on the girls were gone.

"What? Where did they go?" Neyla yelled and left the shop in a tantrum.

Paris Sewers

The girls managed to escape Neyla through a trap door located near the counter. Celeste's mother had put it in just in case for an emergency. Unfortunately, it leaded them to the sewers, which is why it was used as a last resort.

"My shoes, they are ruined and I had just got them," Celeste mumbled irritably.

"Don't worry, Celeste. I will buy you new ones later, I promise," said Belinda with a nod.

"You better. Mother will kill me if she sees the state they are in now," she said

"Yeah, I know." Belinda said shaking her blonde head. "How much longer till we get to that destination Mulan?" she asked.

"We should be there any minute," Mulan replied. "And can we not talk about shoes? I mean, we have enough to worry about as it is," she muttered. And the girls nodded in agreement as they trudged on.

Chu-Petro residence

In the suburbs ofPariswas the home to the Petro/Chu family. It was a modest size house with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Inside one of the rooms were two boys, Tim and Chang, with Chang talking on the phone.

"Yes, mom, we are fine. Mulan and Amelia are out somewhere and they said something about staying with Celeste and Belinda," he stalled, listening to his mother's voice. "Don't worry mom. I am sure those two can handle themselves. Dad taught us martial arts years ago… Yes… love you, bye!" and he hung up the phone with a sigh.

"SO… what did mother say?" his brother asked.

"Same thing she always tells us: wash the dishes, brush our teeth, and don't talk to strangers," he replied as he got up and stretched and blinked his mismatched eyes. After an exhale of breath, he walked out of the door.

"Where are you going?" Tim asked.

"Out," was all the snow leopard said before he left the room with his bag in hand.

"Man… why do I always get in trouble?" he asked in annoyance, mostly because he was grounded for helping Alex steal the boy's CD player.

Outside Interpol

The area outside the building was a mess as the two figures continued to clash left and right.

"Stand still, brat!" Polarsky yelled as Ryo kept dodging his attacks with near sonic speed and grabbed his arm, which was injured by the wolf's blade.

"Give up Polarsky and I might lessen your death sentence," the boy laughed, getting reckless. All of the sudden, Ryo was hit hard by a powerful blast and slammed into the wall, nearly knocked out.

"You got cocky brat," Polarsky said as he closed in on the boy

Main Street Paris, France

Chang was walking around, enjoying the unseasonably warm weather but his jumbled thoughts stopped him from enjoying it further.

Where are you Al… he thought to himself. As he walked, he was steadily getting more worried. "It is unlike Al to go this long without calling… even if he's grounded," he said to himself.

A few seconds later he was jumped by a gang of thugs. "You again?" he asked, addressing the familiar head man, who was a jackal with shaggy blond hair and an unkempt T-shirt and jeans with a cigarette between his yellowed teeth. "How long has it beenJordan?"

"Long enough, Chang… long enough,"Jordansaid with a look of distaste in his black eyes.

"Yes, I have to agree. But how long have you been following me?"

"Since you came out of your house," he replied.

"Why exactly?" Chang asked keeping his tone impartial.

"So I can show you how much better I am then you."

"Better? Yeah right. You're on the streets with this pathetic excuse of a gang, you haven't taken a shower in who knows how long, and your teeth have almost rotted out of your head… and you think you are better then me?" Chang asked, his voice filed with humor.

"Yes, I do!" the jackal sneered taking out a knife and the others surrounded them, preventing any escape.

"Is this really necessary?" Chang said backing away.

Paris Sewers

"I think we're lost, Mulan," Belinda said as they were still in the sewers.

"We are NOT lost!" Mulan exclaimed indignantly. "We must have missed a corner."

"Sure sister, whatever you say," Amelia said. "You are just too busy thinking of Inspector Kanuke, aren't you?" she said before she knew what was coming out of her mouth. Mulan stiffened and shot a death glare toward her sister and stormed off ahead with her tail fur fluffed up.

"Who is this Inspector Kanuke?" Celeste asked confused.

"He was the guy I left Mulan with. I have a feeling she might have a crush on him."

"On a man she just met?" asked Belinda.

"Yeah. I mean, he was cute and he is only seventeen."

"A seventeen year old inspector?" Celeste and Belinda asked shocked.

"Yeah, surprising I know. Ask her for yourself, but be careful… I think she's a bit miffed at me."

"Very well, I will," Celeste said and ran up to Mulan, trying to convince her to tell her what was going on.

Outside Interpol

Polarsky had hold of Ryo's neck and was slowly strangling him. He had an evil grin grace his lips as he slowly killed the boy. Ryo was getting desperate, trying to lessen the man's hold on his throat. He managed to stay awake and have control over his feet and kicked Polarsky hard in the groin.

The bear gasped and doubled over as the boy landed at his feet, coughing; his body shaking as he managed to get his breathing regular again. Ryo jumped away a good distance as the man regained his senses. "Clever brat, but it's not over yet," the man said and charged at the boy again.

Back to Main Street

Chang dodged another strike fromJordan's knife and delivered a bone crushing kick to his back. "Please, stopJordan. Maybe we can talk this over?"

"Yeah right. Why would I want to talk to you?"Jordanmuttered.

"Cuz, we were once friends until you got involved in gang life!" Chang said.

"Yeah, were friends, till you turned your back on me."

"I did notJordan. I warned you what would happen if you got involved with gang life."

"Yeah, and I said I could care less. And I still do!"

"Very well, I guess I have to knock some sense into you," Chang said as they resumed the fight.

Blow after blow happened. Chang was able to keep the knife from cutting into any vital parts, but still the scraps and scratches have plenty of bruises too; he was also able to block Chang's attacks on his pressure point areas. But both were getting tired, and at this point, someone would make a mistake… deadly or not.

The others surrounding them, cheered onJordan, trying to distract his opposer.

The battle continued on for what seemed like hours, but only seconds and minutes had passed. The two boys jumped to opposite sides of their makeshift arena, panting, trying to regain their breath. The boys around them tightened the gaps between them, making sure there truly was no escape.

It shocked Chang that Jordan actually chuckled, "Does this remind you of anything?"

It took him a minute, but then he realized what he meant and nodded, "Back then, when we would test each other's strength. I remember."

"Back when we were friends," he nearly whispered, toying with the knife in his hands.

"Yes. But we can go back to that. We can still be friends. All you need to do is drop that knife and we can talk," Chang explained.

ButJordanjust shook his head no. "After all the crap I've been through… that isn't going to happen!" he called charging again.

Chang was ready for anything. He was going to make this end before anyone else got hurt, but something that he didn't except happened.

In the middle of their arena was a line leading to the sewer with the metal lid covering it at this moment. But just whenJordanhad one foot on it, it pushed its self up; shock to everyone back to his butt, muttering, "What the hell?"

Out of the hole came Mulan. She looked around, noticing the other boys and then saw her brother in her eye sight. "Chang? What are you doing here?"

"I could ask you the same thing," he countered. But he then noticed the odds against them with how many numbers the other side had and ran to the sewer line, where his sister was. "I'll explain later, just move out of the way!"

Mulan ducked back down, and right behind her was Chang. The other boys just now realized what was going on and followed after him. He closed the lid over the man hole and dropped down next to his other sister and the other girls.

"What's going on here?" he questioned.

"Now, we'll explain later, but I think we need to move before those guys up there, come down here," Mulan stated, running down the pathway with everyone else right behind her.

Rue De La Park

The girls, plus Chang, finally made it out of the sewers. Mulan was still frustrated. One: because her sister has a big mouth; and two: her brother won't cooperate with the fact that he needs the cuts on his body treated and that some were really that deep. The others were arguing with each other and that didn't help anything either. They should have been thinking of their next move, not arguing about whether Mulan was fine or Chang was going to lose too much blood.

When they saw that sign that lead to the Rue De La Park, they saw the old, rundown looking hotel.

"This is it?" Amelia muttered. "Are you sure you heard Inspector Kanuke right?"

"I'm sure. This is the place he told me," Mulan replied.

"Maybe it is better on the inside. I believe the old saying is, 'you cannot judge a book by its cover," Celeste said, trying to get spirits up.

"I hope so," said Chang. "And I hope they have bandages too. I think the cuts are starting to get worse."

"I told you," Amelia stated.

"Don't start!" he retorted.

They walked into the ramshackle looking hotel, only to find the inside extremely beautiful and well kept compared to the outside. "Wow… nice place!" Mulan said with the others agreeing. Then a voice called from the counter, the speaker was an old cat to be exact.

"Why thank you, mademoiselle," he said in a thick French accent.

"Are youPierre?" Mulan asked the man.

"Oui, I am mademoiselle. And may I ask what business you have here?" he asked and Mulan proceeded to tell him exactly what Ryo had told politely stunned. "Mon Dieu!" he exclaimed in mumbled to himself in rapid French. As he calmed himself down, he readdressed the teens, "Please follow me Mademoiselles and Monsieur." He then led them up stairs to rooms they could stay in.

They were nice rooms, fit for anyone to stay in for the night or later. Mulan noticed a room across from her own which had a sign on the door. She looked at it and then she read out loud, "'Juli's room. NO boys allowed!' Hey, Amelia, come look!" she called and her sister came to her side. "Do you think this is our Juli's room?"

"You mean Juli Sanchez? I do not know. Maybe we can askPierre."

"Ask me what my dear?"Pierre's voice came from behind, nearly making the girls jump in surprise.

"Is this Julia Sanchez's room?" Amelia asked the old cat.

"Why yes, it is. Do you know her?" he asked.

"Yes. She is on the same cheer squad as me at school and I think she is in soccer as well. Why does she live with you? Doesn't she have parents?" Amelia asked and was stunned at the massive frown on the man's face.

"Non… she is an orphan. Her parents died when she was four..." he said and paused. "An old friend of mine found her and brought her here. Since then she has been like a daughter to me."

"Oh my… I am sorry to here that!" Amelia said regretfully, "She never mentioned it."

"Not many would Amelia." Celeste said walking toward the group with her sister. "I could not even imagine what it is like to lose both my parents."

"Pierre, is she here right now? It's been forever since we've talked. It would be awesome if we could catch up," said Amelia.

"Actually, she is here; and brought some of her friends here as well. She should be in here in her room. I believe she's bunking with someone while the boys take up separate rooms…"Pierreexplained.

"Boys? As in more than one? Dang, she's good," Amelia muttered.

Pierreonly laughed, "Oh, no. I wouldn't allow such a thing. Ryo is one of the boys staying here along with Kyo, Rahul, and Alex."

"Alex? You mean Alex Cooper?" asked Chang.

"Yes. But he is out right now with Kyo and Rahul. Why do you ask?"

"He's one our friends. We've been worried about him," replied Chang.

"I'm sure he'll be back soon with the others. But right now, let's get those cuts bandaged up young man. They may get infected if they don't get cleaned out," saidPierre, motioning the boy to go down the hall. "You ladies can go in and talk with Juli. Just be sure to knock first." With that, he left with Chang.

Amelia looked to the girls who nodded, and went to the door, hitting it three times.

"Come in," said a voice.

The girls opened the door and came. Juli had her back turned to the door, speaking to a little girl raccoon who nodding thoughtfully to what ever she was saying. But she addressed the door, "Pierre, you know you don't have to knock before you need to come in. Only the boys have t—" that's when she turned and noticed the four girls standing at the door. One of the girls was immediately recognizable. "Amelia?" she asked going to the door.

"Juli? Wow, it sure has been away since school hasn't it?" Amelia grinned.

They hugged each other and Juli nodded, "It has been, old friend." She looked up and noticed everyone else. "Even Mulan, Celeste and Belinda are here. What's up everybody?"

"It's great to see you again, Juli," said Mulan, giving her a hug, along with Celeste and Belinda.

"Okay, what's the occasion? How did you all find me?" Juli asked, curiously.

"Well, this was by accident, actually," replied Mulan. She then explained the situation and how Ryo had directed them to come here.

Juli nodded, "I see… Well, welcome to the Rue De La Park. I'm actually one of the attendants but I'm on my vacation. And what a crazy vacation it's been," she said with a chuckle. "Oh, and this is Melody," she directed to the little raccoon that had been sitting in one of the chairs quietly, listening to the discussion, "She's joined our group not too long ago."

Melody stood up and walked over besides Juli, "Um… you said that this Polarsky was a demon… are you sure of that?"

"Well that's what he said he was… why?" Mulan asked.

Melody looked down at her feet, and Juli kindly explained for her. "Her parents were killed by a low class demon… I know you may think I'm crazy for saying that, but you've got to believe me."

"Oh, I believe you," said Mulan. The other girls looked at her as if she was insane, but Juli smiled in thanks. "I mean, for a monster like Polarsky to come back from the pits of hell… there has to be such a thing."

It took a minute for the thought to permeate the room, but eventually the others agreed. There was no way for someone to come back from the dead unless they were an angel… or demon.

"Well, let's get off that subject," said Juli on a lighter note. "How about we get you girls cleaned up. After being in those sewers, a shower and clean cloths is probably just what you need. Then we can get you all up to speed on what the heck's going on here, along with Chang."

The girls happily accepted that offer so to rid of the smell and sludge they had to trail through.

Outside Interpol

Polarsky was about to charge at the defenseless Ryo, before someone tapped him on the shoulder. He turned and was whacked aside the head near a pressure point by a curious looking cane. He fell to the ground unconscious.

Alex was behind the fallen mobster with a grin on his face. "Told you I could do it Kyo!" he said a bit smugly.

"Yeah, yeah, stop bragging Alex." Kyo's voice came as he walked to Alex.

"He's right, Alex," said Rahul as he walked over to the other two. "Cockiness leads to down fall."

Alex only rolled his eyes.

Kyo ran over to his fallen comrade, "Are you alright Ryo?" he asked.

Ryo only nodded before he passed out. "Ryo!" Kyo called and checked his pulse. It was there slow and steady but it was there. Kyo let out a sigh of relief. "Let's get to the hotel and get him some help. We'll take him with us too," he said referring to the massive polar bear. "He may know something about the sacrifice and where it is."

"And how do you suggest getting this guy there? He probably was like… five-hundred pounds," questioned Alex.

Kyo shook his head, "Haven't you learned anything yet?" Kyo held up his hands and mumbled words inaudible to the other guys. Then a strange glow appeared around the bear and Kyo smiled. "I'll take the bear and you two get Ryo."

Rahul and Alex nodded and grabbed Ryo, Alex on his left and Rahul on his right. As soon as they were ready, all of them then slowly walked to the hotel where the others were waiting.
