chapter4Chapter 4: Aftermath


The female MaSho had fought well, and had won the small battle. As their victory
prize, they had claimed the only two girls that hadn't been able to armor up
past their subarmor, Rahne and D.
Sulya felt the loss of her best friend more than the others thought she would.
Out of everyone that was left to comfort her, Naaza ended up being the one to
tell her that Rahne would be gotten back.
Ari and Jo felt D's kidnapping equaly. Anubis was the one to comfort Jo, while
Seiji sat with Ari to comfort her.
"This just isn't fair! Why are they so strong?!" Ryo said to no one
inparticular. The only answer he got was a few soft hoot's from Wind. "You miss
D, don't ya?" Ryo asked the owl. She hooted again in responce.
Wave left ari's side and went over to Wind. Wind, in turn, flew off of the
gunwall and landed next to him and burried her small face in Wave's furry chest.
Just then, Kaosu's staff started to chime and then to glow.
"Ya know, that stupid thing could have tried to help us out in that fight!" Shuu
said angrily to Kayura.
"I did the best I could Sh...!" Kayura started to say before a beam shot out of
the staff and hit Wind and Wave.
"Kami-sama! what on earth is going on?!" rajura yelled.
When the light had faded and the staff had fallen silent again, everyone looked
at Wind and Wave, waiting to see what Kaosu's power had done to them.
"Marvelous, now the staff is on the fritz!" Shuu said.
"Shuu!" Touma said. "That thing is never on the fritz. It had to do something to
them."
"He's right, but what could it have possibly done? I don't feel any differnat,"
a new female voice said. Everyone's head snapped back to look at Wind and Wave.
"Wave?" Ari asked.
"Ari-san! Please tell me you're doing better!" Wave said as he rushed over to
her.
"You can speak!" Ari said.
"Of corse I can!" Wave said, but then gained a puzzled look on his furry face.
"But you've never understood me before. Why would that fancy stick let us talk
to each other?"
"And the plot thinkens," Shin said with a sigh. "So now we can talk to two out
of three animals, have lost two friends, and are more confused than we were half
an hour ago."
"Maybe Shuu is right," Rajura said with a pained look on his face, as if he
hadn't really wanted to say it.
"What do you meen?" Anubis asked from where he was still siting with Jokata.
"Maybe it is broken. Why else would it make it so that we can understand those
animals?" Rajura stated.
"It's never done anything without a reason before. We just have to figure out
what that reason is," Seiji said.
"What do you think, Wave?" Wind asked.
"I don't know," he answered back. "I'm just glad that I can talk to Ariadne-san
now!" Wave's tail was happily wagging back and forth the entire time.
"What do you think Wind?" Shin asked.
Wind flew over next to him, landed and said, "It's nice that you all can
understand us now and all, but I want to know why weare now able to do this.
What could any of us possibly gain from the two of us gaining the ability to
speak to you?"

~^~^~^---~^~^~^
"I wont do it! it is bad luck to fight an opponent wihen you know that they have
magical beasts," Odisy said.
"I don't care what they have! They could have Arago dancing an Irish jig for all
I care, but I want them stopped, AND I WANT THEM STOPPED NOW!" Lady Evil
*Auther's note: I will start calling her Kifujin(-sama) which meens Lady
eventually* yelled.
Odisy recoiled, but then stood up straight. "I will do my best, Mistress." And
with that she dissappeared.
"Trinity," Lady Evil said.
"Yes Mistress," the red haired warrior said.
"Go with Odisy. I don't want anything to go wrong. Do you understand me?!" lady
Evil said.
"Yes mistress," Trinity said as she vanished.
Lady Evil waited a moment before she said, "Anya, Nawnya!"
"Yes Mistress," they said together.
"the two of you should go attend our 'guests'. We don't want to keep them in the
dark forever, now do we?"
"Certainly not Mistress," Anya said.
"Now go."
Anya and Nawnya faded out of site and lady Evil was left alone.
"Arago was a fool. He shouldn't have waited so long to envade the mortal world
once he got the MaSho. I am not making the mistakes that he made, and I will be
victorious!" Wild, evil laughter echoed throughout the fortress.

~^~^~^~^
Wave's head snapped around to face the direction of the fortress as he heard the
laughter drift to them.
"What is it?" naaza asked.
"It's laughter," Wave said with a puzzled look on his face. "Really evil
laughter."
"AH! I hate this waiting!" Jokata said as she pulled away from anubis. "I'm
getting off of this boat right now and I'm going to find them!"
"I'm with you, Jo!" Sulya said.
Just as everyone else was about to protest, Sulya and Jo froze in their tracks
and Ari let out a gasp.
"What is it? What's wrong?" Kayura asked.
^D we don't even know if the others will hear us! just because the two of us can
talk to each other in our heads doesn't meen that they'll be able to, too!^
rahne's voice echoed in their minds.
^I'm postive that they will respond! Our armor is letting us do this R!^ D said.
"I don't believe it! I can hear Rahne and D in my mind!" Sulya said.
"Shhh!!!" Jokata said. ^Rahne, D?! Are you two still there?^
^Jokata? Is that you?^ D asked.
^Yes it is! Are the two of you ok?! Where are you? Have you been able to call
upon your full armor, and that is how you're talking to us?^ Jo said in a rush.
^Whoa! Calm down Jo! D and I are fine. We're not really sure where we are, and
no, neither of us can call our on our armor. We've both tried though,^ Rahne
said.
"What are you doing?" Naaza asked.
"We're talking to D and Rahne, so shhh!" Ari said.
"T-talking to them? but how?"
"Duh Naaza, telepathically..some how," Ari said sounding a bit confused.
"Stop talking to them right now! Don't tell them anything vital!" Kayura
ordered.
"Nani?! Why?!" Jokata asked.
"Because! those dark soldiers can probably listen into you're conversation with
them! They do, after all, have armor like yours!"
^Gasp!^
^D and I aren't gonna talk to you three anymore unless something important
happens, ok?^ rahne said.
^OK^ the other three said together.
^Ja ne you two, and stay as save as posible,^ Sulya said.
^We will, at least, we'll try,^ Rahne said.
"Well now, that was cirtainly eventfull," Rajura said with a sigh.
"At least we know that they're ok for right now cyclops!" Sulya said angrely.
"Cyclops?! Get over here you little water sprite! I'll show you just how good
this one eye of mine can be!" Rajura roared. He started to go after Sulya when
Naaza stopped him.
"Rajura! Get a grip! None of us need to be fighting right now. Just because she
called you cyclops..."
"Hey Trinity, they know your armor's name," an all to formilliar voice said.
"Tejina no Odisy you shouldn't refer to my armor as Cyclops anylonger," the red
haired warrior said as she appeared out of thin air. "I am Shingo-Me no Trinity
here in the youja-kai."
"Sorry Shingou-me," Odisy said.
"To arms!" Seiji shouted, and the Troopers and Masho took up defensive positions
around the three remaining girls. Bayakun, Wing, and Wave also took up defencive
postions.
"Odisy, take care of those animals," Trinity said eying Wind and Wave. "There is
no need for them to be like that."
Odisy nodded and pulled a single scythed rod off of her back. She held it up in
the air and said, "Illusional Deception!" As she brought the rod down in front
of herself, the scythe bent back and a wave of energy was released and went
straight for Wind and Wave.
Despite how much they tried to get out of the beams path, it still hit them, and
only the somehow, dead on. Both were immediately turned back into their
animalforms and everyone on the bardge had a bewildered look on their faces.

"WAVE!" Ari yelled as she rushed over to her wolf. She looked him in the eye to
make sure everything was ok and then she turned her attention to Odisy and
Trinity. A deadly look was in her eyes as an aura of fire seemed to form around
her. "First you kidnap Rahne and D and now you undo the spell that Kayura's
staff put on my pet! Well if you think you can bully us around anymore, you've
got another thing coming! Armor of Blackflame...Doa Ai!"

The magical silk scrawls, that normally exploded into cherry blossum petals,
burst into dark flames as they covered over Ariadne's entire body and formed her
armor.

The Troopers and MaSho were a bit shocked at the change to the transformation,
and they were shocked even more when Jokata and Sulya transformed and their silk
scrowls were lightning or a giant tidal wave.

"Well, what are we waiting for?!" Shuu said. "Let's armor up!" With that said,
all nine of them yelled, "BUSO..."

"Rekka!"

"Korin!"

"Suiko!"

"Kongo!"

"Tenku!"

"Oni!"

"Yami!"

"Doku!"

"Gen!"

"Well, well, well," Trinity smiled devishly. "I do believe that those children
want to fight us, Odisy. Shall we teach them a lesson?"

"Hai! This is going to be fun!"
~-~-~-
Rahne and D were sitting in the small cell in the dungon of Lady Evil's
fortress. The cell was being lit by several of D's throwing stars, but the
darkness still seemed to be over whelming.

"What do you think they're going to do to us?" Rahne asked.

"I don't know Ra, but I'm sure it's not a good thing."

Rahne sighed and leaned her head against the wall. "Well, whatever they do, I
hope they do it soon, this doing nothing is killing me. Anything is better than
this."

"You shouldn't say that Ra. What if they hear you?" D said as she created
another star to bring more light to into the cell.

"So what? What do you think they're gonna do? Kill us?"

The very instant Rahne finished speaking, a soft laugh was heard and all of the
light was taken from then room.

"No fair Kousei. Creating star's to give you light. Well, the midnight has come
when no light will shine."

D and Rahne jumped to their feet and stood in defensive positions.

"Who are you?!" Rahne called out.

"We are the bearers of the Hebi yoroi and the Yahan yoroi, and we're here to
have a little fun girls," the all-to-formiliar voice of Nawyna said.

"Let us go Nawnya! Our friends are coming for us!" D said.
"Little girl, we are not worried about your friends. Trinity and Odisy are
taking care of them right now," Anya said as she and Nawnya appeared.

"I can't believe this is happening! We have got to be able to armor up some
how!" Rahne said. Her mind was racing, and she just wasn't sure of what to do.

The next thing Rahne knew, D was screaming as Nawnya wrapped her hand around the
smaller girl's throat. ^I can't let them hurt D! I wont let them hurt D!^
Rahne's mind focussed on the task at hand and she shouted out:

"Armor of Diamond...Doa Yuki!" The bolts of silk flew out around her and when
they were extended as far as they could go, they crystalized into jewels. Orange
light appeared from inside the jeweled cacoon and they shattered away to reveak
Rahne in full armor.

"No! Nawnya take care of her and don't worry about Kousei, I'll handle her,"
Anya said, taking charge.

^Have courage Ra. You can do what needs to be done.^ D said to Rahne through the
mind link.

^Courage? D what do you meen?!^

^Run! Go! Blast a hole in the wall and GO!^

"I can't do that D!"

"Just do it and go!" D shouted back at her friend as Anya picked her up by the
neck.

Tears welled in Rahne's eyes at the thought of leaving D, but she pulled the two
nunchuk's (sp) off of her back and prepared for what she knew she had to do.

"Well, well, well. Houseiki is finaly awake. But now you know that you can never
leave here!" Nawnya said as she lunged forward.

"Dream on serpent face, I'm outa here as fast as you can say," Rahne paused and
placed two of the nunchuk ends together, effectivly creating a long cebter
handle, before she said, "Cold Stone Grinder!"

She was able to turn to face a wall just before the blast erupted from her
weapon. The wall she had picked had been an exterior wall toboot, so she simply
jumped out, leaving a shocked and or surprised Nawnya and Anya.

"You're telling Milady," Nawnya said.

"Like hell I am. I've got the pest I had my sites set on. Your's got away,
you're telling Milady yourself," Anya said as she dragged D out of the chamber.
