Chapter 8: Nova and Zagato vs. Hikaru and Lantis.
The next day Hikaru was feeling great. She felt she could fight ten Nova's. Eagle
smiled at her and she smiled back. Lantis was washing his face in the lake which the
creek was connected to. Eagle nudged her to go over to him. She smiled and walked over
to Lantis. She bent down and took some water in her hands. Lantis looked over to her and
smiled. "So..." he said softly. "Hmm." said Hikaru. "Are you feeling better?" he asked.
"Uh huh." she replied. Lantis smiled and splashed water over his face. Some water
splashed on her. She laughed making Lantis smile even bigger.
"Hikaru do you love me?" he asked. "What makes you say that?" she replied
looking at him. Lantis bit his lip. "I've been having doubt... Zagato and all he's been
playing with my mind... I was wondering if Nova did the same." Hikaru hugged him and
said, "I'll always love you and Eagle." she said kissing his cheek. Lantis grinned and
messed Hikaru's hair. Hikaru gave him a big smile and then cupped water in her hands
and splashed it on her face. Some water hit Lantis. "Watch it!" he said. Hikaru smiled
again and splashed water all over Lantis. "HEY!" he said covering his face from the
water. When she stopped Lantis grinned wickedly and splashed her. "Lantis... stop." said
Hikaru getting soaked.
Eagle who was sitting in a tree. He looked at them and began to laugh. Lantis and
Hikaru looked at him and then at each other. Eagle didn't notice them walking toward
them. He laid back and was about to fall asleep when someone pushed him off the branch
and into the water. Hikaru busted out laughing when he came out all soaked. Eagle saw
Lantis standing on the branch where he was laying. "WHY YOU!" shouted Eagle waving
his fist. Eagle took a handful of mud and through it at Lantis. The mud hit the unexpected
Lantis making him fall in the lake. When he came out Hikaru was laughing at both of
them. Eagle looked at Lantis and then both of them looked at Hikaru. The walked up to
her and both picked her up. "Guys... no." she said but it was to late. The tossed her in the
lake and know she too was soaked.
Hikaru popped her head out of the water and began to cough. "Hikaru are you
alright?" asked Eagle whacking toward her. Lantis followed to assure she was okay.
Hikaru looked at them and then jump on top of them making them fall back. When they
got up they started a huge splash war. Soon when they stopped Hikaru noticed that they
were so tall they didn't even have to tread water. She could hardly keep her head up
unless she treaded. "I feel so short." she whispered, sinking deeper into the water. "She's
seems upset." said Lantis. Eagle and Lantis walked over to her and each took and arm
and pulled her out of the water. "Come on let's dry off then go back home." said Lantis
carrying her to shore.
The three sat in the sun as there clothes dried off. Hikaru noticed that both Lantis
and Eagle wore black clothes. Eagle was the only one who wore black gloves that
showed his fingers. Lantis looked over at Hikaru who was in the middle of them. She
seemed to be daydreaming or something. Eagle shifted his eyes and also noticed Hikaru
seemed to be daydreaming now. "Hikaru..." said Eagle softly. She didn't reply. eagle and
Lantis turned to there sides and gently shook her. "Huh?" said Hikaru snapping back to
reality.
"What were you thinking about?" asked Eagle. Hikaru smiled and said, "What it
would be like when we get married." said Hikaru. "Really?" asked Lantis. "Yep." replied
Hikaru. Hikaru looked at the blue sky. Several birds flew down and swooped over them.
One stopped and perched on Hikaru's finger. The bird chirped and then flew off.
Suddenly Eagle jumped up. "I think we should get going." said Eagle. Suddenly there
was a huge blast and it hit Eagle sending flying deep into the forest. "EAGLE!" screamed
Hikaru and Lantis. The two got up and ran and got there swords.
Just as they got them Zagato and Nova came out of the forest and stood in front of
them. "Know its going to be a fair fight!" said Nova pulling out her light swords. "You
hurt Eagle you'll pay!" shouted Lantis. "Oh I quiver with fear." said Zagato. "LIGHTING
BOLT COME FORTH!" shouted Lantis aiming at Zagato. Zagato made a shield to
protect him. Nova then ran forth and jumped in the air with her blade aimed at Hikaru.
Hikaru blocked the attack with her sword. The two were know glaring each other in a test
of who was stronger. Lantis looked over then back at Zagato. Zagato was taunting him
and then the two went head to head in battle.
"Miss Umi I don't see anyone." said Fuu stopping in midair. "I'm worried about
Hikaru." said Umi also stopping. The two stood in the air for a long time not talking.
"Young girl from another world." said Windom. "What is it?" asked Fuu. "We feel a
presence near a vary weak one." said Selece. "Which way... it could be Hikaru!" said
Umi. The Rune Gods pointed them in the right direction and they flew off. When the
stopped they saw in a pile of twigs Eagle.
Fuu and Umi got out of there Rune Gods and ran over to him. His wounds were
deep and blood gushed out everywhere soaking his ripped clothes. "Fuu you better heal
him." said Umi. Fuu nodded and concentrated on her magic. "WINDS OF HEALING!"
she shouted dispersing a green wind from her fingertips. When he was completely healed
her opened his eyes and slowly got up. "Thanks..." he said weakly. "What happened,
WHERE'S HIKARU?" Umi demanded. "She's north of here... we were attacked... I
don't know how she is or Lantis." he said. Umi and Fuu looked at each other and ran into
the forest. "Wait for me." said Eagle. Fuu stopped and looked back at him. "No, your not
strong enough wait here." she said. Eagle nodded and sat back down.
"FLAME ARROW!" shouted Nova. Hikaru countered with her flame arrow.
When the two attacks hit the fire disappeared. "Were equally strong." Nova said a little
annoyed. Hikaru growled and shouted, "RUBY LIGHTING!" the attack flew at Nova but
she made a shield to protect her. "Catch this Hikaru!" she laughed connecting her laser
swords together and throwing it at her. Hikaru gasped and tired to black the attack. It
pushed her back making her feet dig into the ground. Finally she was able to break it and
stand back up.
Lantis and Zagato were quick as lighting. Each of them not backing down not
even for a moment. There swords clashed loudly when they smacked. Neither of them
was hurt but they were slowly getting tired. Neither of them showed it though. Suddenly
Zagato got tired of this game and disappeared and reappeared behind Zagato and stabbed
him in the shoulder. Lantis yelped in pain and fell to his knees. Hikaru heard his call and
turned to look at him. "LANTIS!" she cried out. Nova saw her chance and blasted
Hikaru. Hikaru let out a piercing scream.
Umi and Fuu heard the scream and ran toward it. When they reached the clearing
they saw Hikaru and Lantis both down. Umi stepped forward and summoned her magic.
"SAPPHIRE WHIRLWIND!" she shouted. The attack flew out of the forest and hit Nova.
"EMERALD TYPHOON!" shouted Fuu hitting Zagato. The two girls ran to there injured
friends. Again Fuu summoned her magic. "WINDS OF HEALING!" she shouted healing
them. Hikaru and Lantis got up and smiled. "Thanks a lot Fuu!" said Hikaru. "You to
Umi." Hikaru and Lantis both smiled and then glared at Nova and Zagato.
"Let's get them!" said Hikaru to Lantis. Umi and Fuu took a step foreword but
Lantis stopped them. 'This is our fight!" he said. Umi and Fuu looked at each other and
nodded. Hikaru and Lantis took out there swords again and walked over to Nova and
Zagato. The two got up and took out there swords. Then they attack. They hit each other
back and forth. Lantis and Hikaru next to each other attack the same way blocking the
same way, Nova and Zagato, too. Lantis shifted his eyes to Hikaru and Hikaru saw him.
"LIGHTING BOLT COME FORTH!" "RUBY LIGHTING!" The two attack merged and
blasted both Nova and Zagato weakening them.
"Your finished give up!" said Lantis. Nova and Zagato looked at each other and
smiled. "You think that was it... HA!" shouted Zagato. "We are only servants to the real
enemy." The four gasped and looked at each other. "And who is your master?" asked
Fuu. Suddenly a black light shot out of the sky and into Nova and Zagato. The tow
disappeared and know standing in front of them was a black shadow like object with red
eyes and fangs. The four stood frozen in fear. This was there mortal enemy which they
had to destroy.
The next day Hikaru was feeling great. She felt she could fight ten Nova's. Eagle
smiled at her and she smiled back. Lantis was washing his face in the lake which the
