Chapter 25: Overcoming The Raiju Clan
Previously on Chapter 24: Jenny rejoined the Yagyu Clan! But she had a major trouble... she lost her Power Gem! Lord Yagyu then decided to help her retrieve her powers by entering the Iron Fortress and ambushing the Raiju Clan while Jenny faces the Bride of the Raiju to claim her powers back. Jenny nervously accepted, then she bravely added that if someone ever had to face the Bride of the Conquering Storm, it had to be herself. And guess what happens on Chapter 25!
I already had my assignment for the first step of the mission. Three Yagyu squads lifted me up in the air, and the four of us trespassed the entrance of the Iron Fortress. But it was difficult to land down, because an unlimited number of Raiju ninjas were throwing sharpy spears at us. The Yagyu ninja that was holding me by the waist accidentally dropped me when a spear almost hit us. I rolled and tumbled in the ground, and struggled to get up when I saw a Raiju ninja, which eyes were covered like shadows, coming in to attack me. I prepared my fighting stance and panted through my teeth.
"Well, what are you waiting for?!" I screamed angrily, my hands shivering.
The Raiju ninja never said a word, he just dropped his spear aside and ran to attack me.
"HYAH!" I screamed and slashed a kick towards the ninja.
He quickly grabbed my leg and let me slip in the ground. I fell on my butt and rubbed my lower back in pain.
"Ouch!"
I tried to regain balance in my legs and slowly got up from the ground. I thought of something I could do, but I then remembered that my gem was taken, so there wasn't a slight chance to perform a Rainbow Shower attack.
"Dang it!" I muttered.
The Raiju ninja ran at full speed towards me, I reacted to my senses and punched him in the muzzle. I felt such strength, this making my body able to fight. I had this greatest desire of war and revenge, which made me become my own enraged self. It was the only way I could stand up and fight against a whole amount of ninjas like these.
I could feel my heart pounding with rage, my soul was full of fighting desire, and with some of my ninjutsu skills, I attacked a whole group of Raiju ninjas in only a whole minute.
The Yagyu ninjas had "lost" in this "fighting competition" and looked at me with priceless faces. I panted heavily and collapsed, very exhausted.
"Jeez! That was more fighting than ever!" I wheezed. "I FEEL SO ALIVE!" I yelled with awkward happiness.
After the short battle, I ran to a place where the frontal gate can be opened. Me and the bats began turning that thing that held the gate, until I saw something that gave me an idea...
I was still the Legendary Heiress, so I closed my eyes and made a quick prayer to my Sun Gods.
"Please, oh Sun Gods, send down at least one Miracle Seed for me..."
In only a second, a small seed fell from above after a beam of sunlight appeared, and it bounced to my feet. I smiled down at the seed and picked it up. I held it in my right hand and tightened it in a fist, activating its light powers in the process.
"Let me become Rainbow Lady for at least now, please, oh Miracle Seed!" I said with all my strength and power, and closed my eyes.
A gold light filled the whole area I was in. The Yagyu ninjas stared in surprise as the Miracle Seed shimmered brighter and brighter, but that never stopped them from opening the gate themselves, so they kept on turning the giant thing while my temporary powers were being unlocked.
In a flash, my body began glowing a soft, golden yellow light. I gasped at this and paralyzed my body, just like in that time before I transformed for the first time, until my Fairy form magically appeared, but without the gem I just needed in my pink bow.
I jumped and flew to the door of the frontal gate, and began pushing it with all the strength I just received. I grunted and screamed louder, until the frontal gate was finally opened.
The giant gate door slammed in the ground five times as noisy as slamming a regular house door. I could see the whole crew of bat ninjas of the Yagyu Clan, and Lord Yagyu was running towards me to help overcome the Raiju Clan.
"Yagyu, let's move!" Lord Yagyu commanded.
And just like that, me and the Yagyu Clan moved in to attack another unlimited number of Raiju ninjas that were running towards us like in one of those wars when an army of knights faces another rivaling group. Lord Yagyu and I kicked, punched and made group attacks against the Raiju lynxes.
In a part of the great war, a Raiju ninja that held a sword slashed it at me, but Lord Yagyu grabbed me by the waist and hoisted me up in the air. I lifted my legs up and used this moment to kick the same ninja in his torso, pushing him to the ground as I landed on my feet.
Every Yagyu ninja fought against a Raiju ninja each. I just kept running, and suddenly, one of them pinned me down by my back. I hit the ground face-first and got a bruise in my forehead. My lower lip was bleeding a bit as well.
"Just great... now what should I-?"
I almost forgot that I temporarily had my Fairy form activated, but the problem was that this ninja's grip was strong, so I couldn't let go of him that easily. I tried using some of the power I had and began glowing a hot pink light. I started heating up like iron flats, despite the pain in my bruise and the burning sensation in my lip, and the Raiju ninja's grip on me softened until he finally let go of me.
I got up to my feet and ran as fast as I could straight to the throne room of the fortress, only to be cornered by more Raiju ninjas that were armed with deadly spears. In the distance I could see Lightning Lynx alongside the Bride of the Conquering Storm.
"That traitor!" I thought.
"Okay, Conquering Storm! The deal's over! Give me the Power Gem right now!" I yelled as more Yagyu ninjas approached me.
Conquering Storm coldly chuckled. "Oh wow! Rainbow Lady has arrived!" She exclaimed sarcastically. "Oh Jenny. You still don't understand that I will take over your abilities. And once I complete my mission, all of Mobius will kneel before ME!"
I laughed hysterically. "Oh no, you won't, Bride. My power shall return, and I will save Mobius with help from my friends!" I yelled with a courageous tone before a sudden headache hit me.
Conquering Storm laughed again. "I can see that your powers are about to wilt quickly, child."
I hate to say it but she was dang right. After she said this, my temporary powers were gone, and the Miracle Seed was rendered useless as it bounced in the ground lightly. I returned to normal and looked down at myself.
"It's useless now, just give up, and you and your scumbag friends shall be spared." Conquering Storm said while walking down from her throne and coming towards me. "Otherwise, you will suffer the wrath of the mighty Raiju Clan!"
"Over my dead body!" Yelled Lord Yagyu as he pulled out his ninja sword and stood in front of me, protecting me from the evil Bride.
"The king of the scumbags has arrived as well!" Conquering Storm mocked. "Lord Yagyu, how much I despise your clan!"
My heart was beating furiously. I wished to get closer to her and punch her in the face!
"Don't you EVER mess up with the Yagyu Clan, you wicked Bride!" I yelled whilst stomping my feet towards her. "GIVE ME THE GEM, OR YOU'LL SUFFER A WHOLE ETERNITY IN BLINDING LIGHT FROM THE RAINBOW SUNRISE!"
The Bride gave me the worst of her furious glares and pulled out a sword, then she sliced my right arm with it, leaving almost a deep cut, I stumbled down and almost fell if not for Lord Yagyu. I screamed in pain and cried out loud while Lord Yagyu and a few bats checked on my wound.
"I'm afraid to say this, kid, but you need a hospital immediately before you lose all your blood." He said with a mixed tone of seriousness and concern.
I cringed when he said this. He quickly carried me in his huge arms and looked angrily at Conquering Storm. Then he commanded all of his Yagyu troops to attack while he escorted me out of the Iron Fortress.
I could feel the wind running through my sweaty face and felt as Lord Yagyu ran, me lying in his arms. I could hear him panting all the way. My vision was turning fuzzy then...
Before I could say something, I felt myself weak and eventually blacked out.
The Yagyu ninjas kept attacking the Raiju ninjas, but these lynxes were overwhelming. They defeated most of the bat ninjas in just minutes, some other bat ninjas resisted the lynx ninjas' attacks, but were eventually outclassed, and so defeated.
The Bride of the Conquering Storm walked around to see the whole mess of defeated Yagyu ninjas that were scattered in the floor, and laughed evilly. She held out Jenny's Power Gem and the Fan of Fen Xing that was previously stolen from the hands of the King of the Free People.
Conquering Storm opened the fan and attached Jenny's Power Gem to it. The gem started glowing an intense, colorful light. The Bride smirked evilly and held the Fan of Fen Xing upwards to blow the defeated Yagyu ninjas away.
"With that kid's gem and this fan, my plans of taking all Mobius will become true!" She said. "Now, say farewell, scumbags." She smirked.
The Yagyu ninjas sought to take the Fan of Fen Xing and Jenny's Power Gem from the hands of the evil Bride, but failed when the Bride swung down the Fan, blowing them all away in just seconds.
And a second after she closed the fan and took off the brooch, the Power Gem was rendered gray, scratched, and eventually useless.
