~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

As Kaii, Ryuu and all my friends started to walk towards a large door on the now lit section of the room, I stood quite. I was thinking of the major change that I had just made in my life. I was now a protector of the world... With little knowledge of what I was to do.

"HARDY! Come on!" Reika, Emiko, and Iselia yelled from the other side of the room.

I smiled and started to run across the room happily. I had my friends! What was I so afraid of? I reached my friends and we all stood in a straight line waiting for Kaii and Ryuu to open the doors for us. Both Kaii and Ryuu turned around and glanced at each of us quickly.

"Hardy.. Shard... You two come first, I need to explain things to you." Ryuu said bowing slightly to us.

Shard and I looked at each other and nodded stepping forward. I looked aback when I felt a hand clamp on my shoulder... It was Reika.

"Hey! What you say to them you can say to us to!" She exclaimed, looking directly into Ryuu's eyes. Emiko and Iselia nodded defiantly agreeing with Reika.

"Fine.." He said sighing and stepping closer to us. "Well... If you all want to hear, have a seat." He said waving his hand causing 5 chairs to appear in front of us.

We all sat down at full attention as Ryuu and Kaii stood before us.

"Well... As you already know." Said Kaii pacing in front of us. "You all are the defenders of the world." He said looking at all of us. "But what you don't know... Is what is happening and what you can do about it."

Emiko nodded and looked up at Kaii. "You are going to tell us why right?" She said smiling up at him.

Kaii sighed and nodded. "What do you think I'm doing sitting you here and telling you about?" He said smartly. Emiko scowled and sat back in her chair as Ryuu continued what Kaii was saying.

"Well.. There is a man called Soetsu, as Hardy you already know." I nodded at him and he continued. "This man has the power to destroy the world in one fowl swoop. But only one thing is keeping him from doing that." He looked at all of us and smiled. "And that is you five."

I jumped out of my seat livid and glared at Ryuu and Kaii. "Well.. If we are the only things keeping him from destroying the world.. THEN WHY HASN'T HE JUST KILLED US OFF!?"

Kaii stepped forward putting his hand on my shoulder and sitting me down. "Because of you Hardy."

My eyes widened and I looked down at the floor. "Because of me?"

"Yes.." Kaii continued. "Your powers are keeping a force field around all of your friends. He cannot break it for it is made of pure energy. This energy you emit is lethal to his kind."

Reika was the next to jump up. "HIS KIND!? You mean.. HE ISN'T HUMAN!?"

Ryuu nodded. "He is anything BUT human. Soetsu is a demon from the darkest depths of hell... Little do you five know, but there is a bounty out for each of your heads. But Hardy's head is worth the most." He said staring at me with a grave look.

"Why... Why am I worth so much if my energy is so lethal to the demons?" I questioned swallowing my fears to get the answer to the question.

Kaii sighed and kneeled down putting his hand on my knee to quell my fears. "Your energy IS lethal to them... but they know a way around it... They found a potion that if they take it before they fight you, your power is drained into them and you turn to the side of evil to help destroy the world. They know with you on their side... The world is done."

Emiko, Iselia, and Reika all jumped up gasping. "So... SHE WOULD DESTROY THE WORLD?!" Emiko yelled. Kaii nodded and Shard stood as I sat tears brimming my eyes.

"Hardy... We won't let them take you. You wont destroy the world I promise!" He said flashing me a thumb's up.

I looked up at him the tears over flowing. "Thank..Thank you."

Ryuu and Kaii looked at us and smiled. "Well, with all of you guys.. We have a great chance of winning this!" Cried Kaii smiling proudly.

Ryuu nodded and looked down at me. I was still crying so he bent down, wiping the tears from my face with his thumb. "Now, I guess since we got that out and over with, you can learn your powers!"

Reika, Emiko, Iselia, Shard, and I smiled. "Powers!?" We exclaimed.

Kaii beamed at us. "When we enter the training hall," He said pointing at the door behind him. "You will be faced with five different elements. Each of the five elements will pick you as its owner for they know whom they belong to. When they enter your body, you will feel a surge of power enter your body and words will come to you. Say them when you hear them. After you receive your mental powers, we will give you your weapons. Then you will receive your armor."

Ryuu laughed and said, "You will get your weapons and armor from me."

Kaii turned on his heel and went to the door putting his hand on it. "Are you ready?"

We all smiled running forward. "YEAH!"

Kaii grinned and pushed the door slowly. "Welcome to your futures!"
