Chapter 8: Return of an Allied Force
"This is far enough." Piccolo declared. The others stopped to rest nearby. Echo looked about uneasily, for she sensed something unusual.

She shuddered violently, for a chill went through her. Something is radiating friendship. Once was loyalty, now is friendship. An ancient power...who is he?

Lady Kayura came into the clearing, accompanied by the warlords. Confusion came to her when she saw the look on the amazon's face. "What's wrong?" she called.

"Someone's coming. Someone that is not an enemy."

Then, the sounds of walking came into the meadow. Anubis showed up, startling those who recognized him. White Blaze went up to him cautiously, then let out a tiger's attempt at a purr. He rubbed against the samurai. "Easy, boy. You're going to knock me over." His gaze then shifted to the startled senshi. Suddenly, a pair of young arms wrapped about his waist in a hug. The force of the initial lunge made the samurai stumble back a few steps.

"You're back!" Yulie cried. His happiness caused the others to realize that what they were seeing was true.

"Yes, I'm back to help you in your battle against this darkness." His friends came up to him, all of them talking at once.

"All right, Anubis, how did you really get back?" Ryo inquired of his companion.

He looked up at the others around the campfire. "A great power restored me to life. The one here with great access to it didn't know that she could restore someone, but knew that they couldn't handle this problem alone. She also tapped into the powers of the Ancients, and created a new armour. The Armour of the Tornado. Its element is wind and its spirit is friendship."

The Z senshi looked uneasy. Who could've done this? Only two of them could tap into the everlasting energies of the stars. And only one of those two had enough experience in that ability to do anything like this.

But which one? It was just too confusing.
