Chapter 3
"Whoa, I really don't think that's possible, we don't have the
time, how dense do you think we are?!" Tasuki exclaimed angrily.
At this, Aia laughed, "Well, if losing time is all that you're
worried about, then you do not have to be. The thereom of advanced
travel between worlds states that when very deep magic is used, no
time can be lost to the group summoned."
"But I lost time, time still passed in my world when I went to
theirs." Miaka said slowly.
This time, it was Sabe who answered, "Well, Aia used the deepest
form of magic, and she told us anyway, you came into their world
through a book in yours, didn't you?" Miaka nodded, "Aia didn't use
a basic enchantment on an object in your world, so the magic runs
deeper..."
Aia gave Sabe a severe 'you're scaring them' look, before continuing,
"I can guarantee you, you will lose no time, and you need not worry
about loss of life, as our powers are sufficient to keep your group
from serious injury."
Hotohori shook his head, "It's not just that, I really don't think
any of us can handle-"
Ryu seemed to have reached the end of his rather limited patience,
and he broke Hotohori off, "Well, you do understand that your Seiryu
seishi friends will be in possession of stronger powers if Zoriat
is bargaining with him, don't you! And if you don't I'll be happy to
tell you, Zoriat destroyed an entire city and an army to kill Aia's
family, and he was still left with enough to fight all six of us on
two separate occassions, only a week apart-"
"THAT IS ENOUGH!" Aia was nearly crying, "It is their free choice
whether or not to comply with our intentions, and you know that, Ryu!
You know it is only with Neia's favor that he has such limitless
dark power!"
Suddenly Sabre, who had been calmly observing this conversation,
stiffened, "I sense dark forces- everybody, get down!" he called
out as he drew out a knife, and aimed it at a part of the temple
wall.
When it hit, everyone expected it to be stopped by the solid
marble, but the knife never made it there. In it's speedy journey,
it encountered the resistance of a human body...
"DARK NINJA!" Rajin gasped, "Okay, guys, looks like it's time for
some serious ass-kicking!"
"Highness, here!" Asaiya grabbed something off a table, and tossed
it at the young empress.
The Suzaku seishi were surprised by how quickly the six were
ready for battle, then they were even more stunned by the fact that
Aia was holding a flute, not a sword or some sort of weapon,
especially since the other five carried weapons that seemed to
glow with power like the staff Aia had placed on a stand, so she
could concentrate on the flute.
Ryu held the Immortals Sword, his Hyperion gem was set in his
gauntlets. Sabre had a pair of twin short-blades, and the normally
calm prince was ready for battle. Sabe had a magical flail ready
for use, and Asaiya had the pinwheel weapon that was a speacialty
of the Dvati tribe which they were born to. Rajin had a crossbow
held at the ready. All of these weapons were gifts from the goddess
to increase their efficiency in battle.
Aia put the flute to her lips, and began playing, a haunting
melody. Then, dark ninja like the one Sabre had killed appeared
everywhere, materializing as their invisibility magic surrendered
to the power of the flute. There were about twenty in the room, and
now Aia seemed especially enraged. The flute was a relic of the
royal family, and was endowed with very strong magical power.
"How dare agents of Neia desecrate this temple... Warriors of
Hyperia, now is the time to fight!" Aia took up her staff, it's
gem glowing with power ready to use.
"HA! Only twenty against the six of us, are you sure this is a
fair fight for them?!" Rajin laughed, but was silenced by an icy
glare from Asaiya.
Now, the Dark Ninja were swarming about, and each were taking
on one of the group. Strangely, they seemed to ignore the Suzaku
group. Big Mistake.
Tamahome was the first to decide that this battle was as much
theirs as it was for these people from another world. "Even if
this is not yet offically my fight, I can still kick some ass!"
When two of the dark warriors tried to attack Aia, they were
met by an invisible force field that glowed blue- and shocked
them with an immense bolt of blue lightning when they hit. It was
obvious that, even in a weakened state, she was still good at
fighting through spellcraft.
Tamahome, Hotohori, Nuriko, and Tasuki seemed to have decided
that this situation was one they had to interfere with. Putting
into account the fact that there where six other fighters in
this battle, the dark ninja were very soon overcome. Between the
swordsmanship of Hotohori and Ryu, along with the skills in martial
arts and other forms of fighting by the others, along with a bit
of fire from Tasuki, the enemies soon found themselves sorely
beaten, exept for one.
"Hah, foolish worshippers of the weakest goddess..." A voice
that sent chills down everyones spine.
"Zoriat..." Aia hissed.
"I will be relieving 'your highness' and your beloved warriors
of your powerless baubles. You will be glad to see that the
fighters I've summoned are much more powerful than the ones you've
called." Zoriat waved his hand, and all six Hyperion gems landed
in his palm.
Before Aia and her fighters could strike back, Zoriat vanished,
in a puff of black smoke.
"I take it that wasn't a good thing..." Tamahome whispered.
"Obviously, no da..." that being a statement from Chichiri.
