Chapter 3: New Evil
"Huh?! WHAT?!" Sage awoke, startled into awarness after a dream. In the dream, the Ancient had come to warn him that Talpa had returned. "Oh shit. I really hope that was just a nightmare."
"Sage, shut up." Rowen mumbled, half asleep. Lightning flashed outside, startling Rowen into full consciousness. "I have a bad feeling something is up.."
"Hey, guys, get into your sub-armor. He's back." Ryo's head popped into view of the doorway.
"Are you kidding?! We fried Talpa a LONG time ago. He can't still be kicking!" Kento exclaimed, coming into view behind Ryo. He was followed by Sai who bore a confused look on his face.
"What is all this about?!" a grumpy Rowen shouted, getting everyone's attention. "What do you mean 'He's back'? Talpa's dead. It was just a nightmare. Go back to bed."
"No, he's right. Talpa is back. There's no doubt about it. I just found more of Grandfather's files. There are ten more armors. Five good and five bad. The Armor of GoldenSun, the Armor of EarthFire, the Armor of Olympia, the Armor of Galexia, Armor of SilverMoon, the Armor of DarkSky, the Armor of DeathScythe, the Armor of BlackRain, the Armor of ShadowHawk, the Armor of NightHeart. The five good are called the 'Mage Warriors'. They were formed when a Sorceress split her own armor into ten pieces. The armor's original name was 'Valigant'. You five need to find the Mages." Mia said, in practily one breath. "Talpa probably came back to get the five Mage Warriors."
"Huh? More armors?" Sai asked. "How do you know?"
"I just do." Mia said irritably. "And they've already found the first Mage. The Mage of Earthfire. She is one of the two leaders of the Warriors."

"Lemme GOO!!" Brie struggled against the chains that binded her. "What do you want from me?!"
"Your power, what else?" the Lady Asaka replied smoothly.
"What power?! I don't have a power!!"
"Yes, you do. Yours is-" Asaka was cut off as an arrow sliced neatly in front of her face. She whirled around to see her attacker. "Who's there?!"
"The Ronin Warriors, at your service." said an English accent. Sai stepped out of the shadows.
"Well, well. Come to save your little friend?" Lady Asaka held Brie up by her hair like a prize trophy. Her hair was down, out of her braid and flying around like the wind. Tears of pain and terror streaked a path down her face.
"Brie?!?!" the five shouted.
"Let her GO! DAMN YOU!" came from Ryo's way.
"And why should I? She has a great power inside herself that needs to be AWOKEN!" with that, Asaka threw Brie up in the air and shot a beam at her.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" a bright silvery light emenated from her forehead, destroying the beam. Brie fell to the ground in front of the Ronins, barely concious. Beneath her bangs, a bright glowing chi was seen.
"What?! Brie-chan?!" Ryo was the first at her side. Shaking her, he found a weak pulse. He grabbed at the chains, ripping them off.
"Wha-? Who are you? What do you want?!" scared silver eyes stared up into tiger blue.
"Are you the Mage Warrior?" asked Kento.
"Huh? What's a Mage Warrior?" asked Brie, confusion written on her face. The kanji of 'Innocence' burned a bright silver on her brow.
"Just listen to me. Cry out Armor of Earthfire Dou Chin! Do it now!!" Rowen told her while parring a blow from Lady Asaka.
"Huh?"
"Just do it NOW!!" Sai yelled at her. The Ronins had departed in haste to protect her.
"Ok..ARMOR OF EARTHFIRE!! DOU CHIN!!" screamed Brie. Bright lights flashed around her, distracting all the fighters. Her armor appeared to look like a griffin. (Author's Note: Eclipse has a pic of what all the armors look like...) Her armor color was silvery-blue and green. Her helmet was pure silver. She had shethed swords (Elf's Note: I have a pic) across her back. "What the *HELL* is this?!"
"It is you! You are the Mage Warrior of the Armor Earthfire. Come with me now, and experience the power of the new Dynasty!" cried out Lady Asaka. She shot out another beam at Brie.
"NOOOOOOO!! STOP IT!!!!!!!" Brie screamed at the top of her lungs. As soon as she screamed, a bright light emited from all over her body. "Huh?! Wha-?!" The light started to carry her upwards to Lady Asaka. A flash of black and white jumped in front of her, breaking the connection and sending her falling to the ground. She landed behind the Ronins.
"Brie!! We will never turn her over to the likes of you!!" retorted Rowen, standing in front of Brie as though to protect her.
"Fine. I WILL be back. Mark my words, Ronins, the Mage Warriors will be the Dynasty's!" with that, and a swirl of black rose petals, Lady Asaka returned to the Nether Realm.
"Brie, are you ok?!" Ryo checked her over, "Did you know about this?"
"Who are you?! WHAT are you?! What do you want from me?!" to Brie's tired mind, everyone in shiny armor was bad. Even herself.
"Brie, it's me, Ryo. Don't you recognize me?" Ryo took off his helmet. Shaggy black hair fell into bright tiger blue eyes. Brie backed away slowly, her eyes widened.
"Ryo? You're a RONIN WARRIOR?! AS IN THE Ronin Warriors, as in the guys who save the world from evil every night on the news at ten?!!"
"Uh…yeah…?" Ryo seemed a smidget confused himself.
"REALLY?! THIS ISN'T A JOKE?!!! WICKED!!!!"
"Brie, are you a Mage Warrior?" Sage removed his helmet as well, revealing his bed-head blonde hair. Brie had to stifle a giggle as she looked at Sage's normally perfect hair.
"What's a Mage Warrior? All I know is that I was sleeping and the next thing I remember is floating around twenty feet in the air. And then this?!" she gestured to her outfit, "Will one of you please explain to me what the hell is going on? And why I was dragged from my nice, warm bed in the middle of the night."
"Where do you live?" Sai asked, balancing on his Yari and yawning.
"4826 East Hondia Street. Why?" Brie rubbed at her eyes while she told him her address. "Oh, by the way, how do I get this off?"
"Oh, that part's easy. All you have to do is concentrate and imagine the power forming into a little Kanji ball." Kento spoke up for the first time. He was pissed off because Tulpa had returned AGAIN just to try and steal five innocent girls. Well, four now that they had Brie. He wondered who the other four were and if they were cute. They probably weren't as mean as Sasami.
"Oh. Okay...I'll try." Brie closed her eyes and concentrated on the power. She felt a warm liquidy sensation running down her arm and pooling into her hand. In her mind's eye, she saw a little ball the color of a clear ocean with several other colors intertwining. When she opened her eyes, she looked down at her closed palm. When she opened it, a glowing medium sized marble connected to a chain rolled out and fell to the dewy ground. "This little thing, did THAT?!" she stared in awe at the little marble as it glowed and changed colors in the moon light. She bent down, and picking up the chain, clasped it around her neck.
"Are you okay?" Ryo went up to her and wrapped her in a hug. The other four boys shot each other looks at the display of emotion. "Hey, you okay?"
"Yea, I guess so. This is gonna take some getting used to huh?" she looked up into Ryo's eyes and saw concern.
"But, yea I'll be fine."
"Okay..Listen, I'll walk you home. Since tomorrow's Saturday, meet us at Mia's house and we'll begin the formal training." Ryo turned around, facing the other four. "You guys go home, I'll be there later. Bye." Taking Brie's hand and linking her fingers together in his own, they started walking to her house.
"I. Told. You. So." Kento evenly spaced out his words, and trying not to laugh at his friend's shocked expressions.
~~In front of Brie's house
"Brie..I..uh.." Ryo wanted to kiss her, but didn't know how she would react. He considered his chances.
"What is it Ryo?" Brie was nervous. She wasn't sure if she should kiss him or not. She was basically falling asleep on her feet standing out here, but if there was a chance that he would kiss her, she was willing to take the chance. Ryo stood, looking down at his dark haired angel, deciding finally to take a chance. "Brie, I love you. I've loved you since I first saw you." Before the words were fully out of his mouth, Brie had started talking.
"Ryo..? You do? You did?" tears of happiness filled her eyes as she heard the words she had wanted to hear since they crashed into each other in the street. "I love you too." Ryo just about stopped breathing. He looked into her eyes to see if she was joking or not. She wasn't.
He began to lean down to kiss her. Brie blinked at his decending face and decided to go for it. She stood on her toes and met his lips halfway. His hands came up to caress her face and thread his fingers through her hair. Her hands came up to gently play with his hair. Ryo applied a little more pressure to her lips. Brie moaned softly into his lips, and he took the chance and gently stroked his tongue against her lips. At her second moan, he let his tongue enter her mouth. Their two tongues play a short game of tag. The seconds turned into minutes, from there, it felt like eternity had become theirs for the taking.
"Brie..please don't ever leave. Promise me." Ryo said breathlessly, as they pulled away from the embrace. Brie smiled against Ryo's throat.
"I promise, love. I swear it." She grinned up at him, continuing to play with his fly-away locks. She looked up into his eyes, and gently kissed him once more. "I've gotta go. Before my mom comes out."
"Ok. I love you, little silver-eyed angel." He kissed the tip of her nose and then hugged her tightly. "Good night, Brie."
"I love you, too, tiger-blue devil. 'Night." Brie reached down and dug her key out of the base of a flower pot. She saw the look Ryo was giving her. "I always forget my key, so mom finally put one out so I could get back in." She looked up at Ryo once more, and ever-so-gently kissed him. "Are you going to come and pick me up tomorrow?" she whispered.
"Yup." Ryo kissed her hard on the mouth once more before shooing her inside. When he was sure she was safe, he began the long walk home.
~~Mia's house
"Well, where do you guys think he is?" Kento asked, fiddling with his orange headband.
"I'd say he's in her room." Sage inputted. He was just joking, but the look that he got from Sai was a killer. "What do you like her or something?"
Sai looked temporarily startled. "Me like Brie? No, I just feel like I need to protect her. That's all." His lilting English accent filled the room. "My guess is, Ryo is most probably listening at the door. Am I right, Ryo?"
The door to the room the boys were in slowly opened. The look on Ryo's face was of pure and true love. He walked in, in a total daze, and nearly tripping over Rowen, made his way to his bed.
Sage cocked an eyebrow, "I think my guess was right." This time he got a glare from both Sai and Ryo.
"No actually, her house is on the other side of town, so it took me a long time to get back here." Ryo answered, flopping down onto his bed. The look remained on his face.
"Well, what the hell happened? You are never this happy, and it's starting to scare me." Kento said, sitting cross-legged on the plush beige carpet.
"Nothing much…just that she loves me back…that's all." Ryo's dreamy face remained as Kento started to bust out laughing.
"Kento, what are you laughing at?" Ryo was hopelessly confused.
"I. Told. You. So, guys." Kento began to chant 'I told you so, I told you so' while laughing his head off and rolling around on the carpet. White Blaze came up to him and began to lick him, only causing Kento to laugh harder.
"Kento do please SHUT UP!!" Rowen shouted, grabbing a pillow and clobbering Kento with it.
Mia walked in, surveyed the surroundings, and walked back to her room. 'Will they ever shut up?' she asked herself. She went back the slave computer, and updating the information on the Mage Warriors. The image that popped up was one of the Armor. "What the..?! Guys..GUYS!! COME HERE NOW!!" she screamed. The boys ran into Mia's room to see what was wrong.
They saw the picture on the computer, causing them to stop dead in their tracks. It was a picture of the full armor of Valigant.
In the back round, were the ten armors. Near it was standing a small silverish-blue striped tiger, much like White Blaze. Only smaller. 'Where is Blaze anyway?' Ryo thought, looking out the window. He saw what he thought was a streak of white and black. Suddenly, Blaze's loud battle roar broke the silence of the house. "What!? Blaze! What is it?" Ryo was the first to respond to his tiger's growl.
He ran out of the room, closely followed by the others, and ran downstairs and out the door. What he saw when he got there, was Lady Asaka.
"Ronins to Arms! Armor of Wildfire! Dou Chi!!"
"Armor of Halo! Dou Chi!"
"Armor of Torrent! Dou Shin!"
"Armor of Hardrock! Dou Chi!"
"Armor of Statra! Dou Inochi!"
Suddenly, the yard was filled with the hypnotic scent of cherry blossoms. The five Ronin Warriors stood in full battle armor. Ryo unsheathed his swords. The loud metallic clang could be heard from all over the property.
"Chill out, Ronin punks. I'm only her to give you a message from Tulpa. Hand over the bearers of the Mage armors, and he will not invade." Asaka relayed the Dynasty Emperor's command.
"We will never turn them over to you scum bags. We've already beaten Tulpa twice and we have his three Warlords, as well as Kayura. He's as good as dead all over again!" Ryo stood his ground not believing what he was hearing. Hand over Brie? Not in this lifetime.
"Fine. Do not come crying to me when you are nearly dead. The Dynasty will PREVAIL!" and with that, Lady Asaka disappeared into a whirl of black rose petals. Ryo looked at the spot where she had just been. He concentrated and detransformed into his old clothes.
"Ryo? Are you ok?" Sai came up to him after he had detransformed, and put a hand on his friend's shoulder. Rowen, Sage and Kento also detransformed back into the clothes they were wearing earlier.
Blaze's howl was heard for in the woods. The five boys looked up and were surprised to see the same little tiger (although it was a little bigger…) that was in the picture with the armors.
"Blaze, hey boy, what'cha got there? A little friend?" Kento came up to the two tigers and gently picked up the littler one. All the while he was doing this, Blaze was watching his every movement. Rowen spoke up.
"Do you guys think we should bring him to Mia and see if it's the same tiger?" Kento was still holding the tiger, which had fallen asleep.
"What is going on out here?! You'll wake Yulie!" Mia came out of the house, shouting in a whispered voice. Kento slowly walked up to her and deposited the young tiger in her arms.
"What is this? Is it Blaze's?"
"Uh, Mia?" Ryo started blushing, "Blaze is a male tiger. I'm pretty sure he can't have cubs."
"I meant could Blaze, like y'know, have a girl friend?" the small tiger yawned widely and stretched its paws in the air. "It's a she."
"Oh. Ok. Well, Mia, do you think it's the same one? The one from the scroll?" Sai asked, petting Blaze on the head absentmindedly. Blaze purred contentedly. "I think it is. You see the mark on her forehead?" she pointed to a symbol on the tiger's head. "It's the kanji of eternal hope. It's the exact same one."
"Well, I think we should get to bed so we can actually wake up in time tomorrow to train Brie." Sage had been quiet during the whole conversation, now he added his part.
"Who's Brie? Is she the bearer of Earthfire?"
"Yup, as well as Ryo's new-" Kento was effectively silenced as Ryo and Sai's elbows plowed into his abdomen.
"Ryo's new what?" Mia asked curiously. She had a feeling he would say 'girlfriend' if he could catch his breath.
"Well, night, boys. Here take the new arrival with you." She handed the small tiger to Ryo.
"Ok. Night, Mia." The five boys trooped upstairs to their respective rooms, and turned in for the night.
~~Next morning
"Gabby! Honey! There's someone waiting for you!" Laure called upstairs to her sleeping daughter, "Gabriella! Are you even awake?"
A murmured 'I don't know' came from the floor above.
"I'm really sorry about this. She's just a really heavy sleeper. If you want, you can try and wake her up. But, first, move all the throwable items out of her reach, ok?" she watched as the handsome youth walked up to her daughter's room.
Ryo opened the door labeled 'Brie's Room, Enter at your own risk.' He slowly walked in and saw her laying on her side, back facing him. He looked around and started to move all the items that could be used to throw at him. Once he had done that, he went and sat on Brie's bed and turned her body towards him. Her hair was still down and covered half of her face. He gently pushed it aside and leaned down to wake her. As his lips gently caressed hers, she woke up. Brie was somewhat surprised to see Ryo's face right above hers. She felt his soft and silk-like lips on her own. She began to kiss him back. When the kiss ended, Ryo opened his eyes and stared lovingly down at her.
"Morning."
"Hey, morning. How'd ya get in my room?" Brie was curious. She remembered her mom saying there was someone waiting for her downstairs. "What time is it?"
"It's a little past 11:45. Time to go. I brought Mia's Jeep today so we don't have to walk." Ryo was still watching Brie's every movement, including her morning stretches. When she arose from the bed, she was wearing a small white tank top with three stars on it. Her p.j. bottoms were the palest of lavender and gray stripes. Brie was conscious that Ryo was following her every step.
"Uh..can you get out for a minute so I can get dressed?"
"Oh, sure!" Ryo blushed a pale pink and backed out of the room. "Oh, yea, you might want to wear something loose and comfortable." He said as he walked out.
"Oh. Thanks!" Brie turned into a small whirl as she hurried up and got dressed. Her outfit consisted of a pair of loose fitting Daisy Duke cutoffs, and a pale lavender tank top. She slipped on her tennis shoes and grabbed her satchel. She walked downstairs and met Ryo waiting in the den. "I'm ready."
"Ok, dear. Have fun! Do you have a key?" Laure asked her daughter.
"I…e…" she searched through her bag. "Yea! Here it is!" Brie held up the small key triumphantly. "See you later, Moma!"
Brie and Ryo walked out the door to the Jeep. As Brie hopped into the passenger seat, Ryo started up the jeep. As they made their way across town, they were unaware of the danger that awaited one of their friends.
~~Fuhurata's
"Sasami! Table four's food is waiting!" the cook, Chianti, shouted to Sasami. Hokkai Chianti looked at first glance to be a mean person. But once you got to know him, he was an okay guy. He stood around 6'2",thin, and balding slightly.
When Sasami had first started, he had scared her bad. But after the first few weeks, she had learned that he was pretty cool.
"SASAMI!! Did you hear me?!" Chianti shouted. Sasami whirled around when she heard her name shouted. She had been very worried over Brie.
"Yea, yea. I heard ya!" she swooped down to grab the food and delivered it. As she was making her way back, someone stopped her. She looked up into blue eyes. "Kento-baka! What do you want? To torment me or something?!" she tried to walk around him, but he grabbed her arm. "Huh?!" She was tired enough as it was. She was ready to go to the back room for a small nap. And she wanted to ignore the butterflies that invaded her stomach at Kento's touch.
"Sasami-baka, listen. Brie and Ryo are already hooked up. So we don't need to keep plotting. Just thought you'd like to know." Kento said, releasing her arm and sauntered off home, shaking off the feelings that this girl had awakened in him.
Sasami felt a hand on her shoulder and jumped. She whirled around, facing her boss. "Sasami-san, are you feeling ok? Would you like to take the rest of the day off?"
"Yea, I'm ok, I guess. But I think I need to go study or something." She tried to stifle a yawn. "So, I can go home?" she asked, taking off her apron.
"Yes, just make sure to call if you're sick and can't come in tomorrow." Hutyi waved as Sasami walked out into the busy streets of Tokyo.
"Well, well, well. Look at my luck. Yet another Mage Warrior unguarded. Looks like I get to have some fun." Lady Naru said, appearing in front of poor Sasami. "Satono Sasami. I have an offer for you."
"Who are you?" Sasami asked, getting the feeling that she should begin running. She took one running step, but before she could take another, she was engulfed in a bright flash of light.
~~Mia's house
"Okay, now swing to your left, block with your right. Ok, try it again. Lead with your left, Brie! Yea! That's it!!" Rowen was in charge of training Brie to block and rebound each punch thrown at her. The rest of the clan came up to see how the training was going. Yulie, following behind, was carrying the little tiger. When he reached the edge of the group, the tiger looked up and bounded out of Yulie's arms. It carefully weaved its way around the boys' legs to see what all the excitement was about. It was at about this time that Brie decided to take a break.
"Why didn't anyone TELL me it'd be this HARD?!" she shouted, dropping to the ground. The tiger padded up to her and rubbed her head against Brie's arm. Brie looked down and cooed. Picking up the tiger, she saw the symbols on her head. "Eternal hope…"
"You know about that?" Sai walked up to her. Brie and the tiger looked up at him with the same expressions.
"Know about what?" Brie was busy tracing the symbols on the tiger's forehead. When she finished, the kanji began to glow. "Huh? What's going on?!" the tiger slowly walked off of Brie's lap and sat down in the middle of the semi-circle. As it glowed, it also grew. When the glowing tiger dimmed to a bearable light, Brie looked up and saw an apparition.
"Anubis?" Sage asked. It was true. Anubis in all of his spirit glory was standing next to the now BIG tiger.
"It is I, Halo. I see that you, Ronins, have found one of the Mage Warriors, as well as one of the guardians. The tiger's name is Rain's Blaze." Anubis slowly turned into flesh and blood like the real people. "Lady Naru has kidnapped another Mage Warrior. The Warrior of the Golden Sun Armor. She is the leader along with Earthfire."
Rain's Blaze padded up to Brie as she sat, dumbfounded, at what she had just heard. 'I'm a leader?! There's another one like me?!' Rain licked her face, gently pulling her out of her stupor. "What is it, girl? Is the enemy here yet?" tears had formed in Brie's eyes for some unknown reason. 'HELP!!!!!' Brie doubled over in pain. It felt like someone had kicked her in her chest. (Elf's note: I think all of us girls out there know how this feels…) 'Somebody!! Please help me!!' She kept hearing the same words over and over in her head. Someone was screaming at her, and she couldn't figure out who it was. It sounded like Sasa-chan, but it couldn't..it can't.. "SASAMI-CHAN!!" she screamed in terror as Sasami and a new lady of the Dynasty appeared in front of the Ronins and Anubis. Sasami was struggling to get out of Lady Naru's hold.
"Let me go, you stupid dike!! What the HELL do you want?!" Sasami continued to kick and scream, unaware of the others present. She was suddenly dropped and placed in a Dynasty bubble.
"Ronins and Mages to arms!! Armor of Wildfire! Dou Chi!!"
"Armor of Torrent!! Dou Shin!!"
"Armor of Halo!! Dou Chi!!"
"Armor of Hardrock!! Dou Chi!!"
"Armor of Strata!! Dou Inochi!!"
"Armor of Earthfire!! Dou Chin!!"
The magical smell of cherry blossoms filled the air. Brie was in a near rage at the sight of her nakayoshi in the hands of the Dynasty. This could only mean one thing…
"Hand over Earthfire, and I won't kill you." Was all the new Dynasty warrior had to say.
"Never. We'll die first, but we won't hand over Brie." Ryo said, walking in front of the afor mentioned warrior. "Armor of Wildfire! FLARE UP NOW!!" he released his sure kill on Naru. She was barely able to dodge it before it smoked her alive.
"You asshole! Look what you did to my face!" he had indeed made his mark on her cheek, where the fire had grazed. "I will return!!" in a flash of crimson rose petals, she was gone.
"Sasa-chan!" Brie ran up to her, only to be repulsed by the bubble shield around her. "Wha..?"
"Brie, stand back." The five Ronins formed a circle around Sasami. They then willed their armor power to release her from her prison. In a bright flash of light, Sasami was seen laying on the ground, unconscious. A little golden orb with the kanji 'Love' was around her neck.
Brie ran up to her and shaking her shouted, "Is she ok? What happened?! Sasa-chan! Wake up!!" Ryo gently pulled Brie away from Sasami.
"Yea, she's ok, she just needs to rest. Kento will bring her upstairs." Ryo said, detransforming. He nudged Brie and she did the same.
"I will?! Do you guys even REMEMBER what she called me?!" Kento was freaking out at the prospect of having to carry his enemy upstairs.
"Kento shut up and do it!" Rowen shouted.
"I will, but I don't wanna…" Kento gently picked up the slumbering Sasami and carried her into the house. Leading himself upstairs, he chose to put her in the room he and Sai shared. As he gently laid her down, he was aware of how angelic she looked while sleeping. She could be a bitch when she was awake though. As he walked back downstairs, he was aware of a feeling that hadn't been there before. Before he met Sasami Satono.

Chapter 3: New Evil
"Huh?! WHAT?!" Sage awoke, startled into awarness after a dream. In the dream, the Ancient had come to warn him that Talpa had returned. "Oh shit. I really hope that was just a nightmare."
"Sage, shut up." Rowen mumbled, half asleep. Lightning flashed outside, startling Rowen into full consciousness. "I have a bad feeling something is up.."
"Hey, guys, get into your sub-armor. He's back." Ryo's head popped into view of the doorway.
"Are you kidding?! We fried Talpa a LONG time ago. He can't still be kicking!" Kento exclaimed, coming into view behind Ryo. He was followed by Sai who bore a confused look on his face.
"What is all this about?!" a grumpy Rowen shouted, getting everyone's attention. "What do you mean 'He's back'? Talpa's dead. It was just a nightmare. Go back to bed."
"No, he's right. Talpa is back. There's no doubt about it. I just found more of Grandfather's files. There are ten more armors. Five good and five bad. The Armor of GoldenSun, the Armor of EarthFire, the Armor of Olympia, the Armor of Galexia, Armor of SilverMoon, the Armor of DarkSky, the Armor of DeathScythe, the Armor of BlackRain, the Armor of ShadowHawk, the Armor of NightHeart. The five good are called the 'Mage Warriors'. They were formed when a Sorceress split her own armor into ten pieces. The armor's original name was 'Valigant'. You five need to find the Mages." Mia said, in practily one breath. "Talpa probably came back to get the five Mage Warriors."
"Huh? More armors?" Sai asked. "How do you know?"
"I just do." Mia said irritably. "And they've already found the first Mage. The Mage of Earthfire. She is one of the two leaders of the Warriors."

"Lemme GOO!!" Brie struggled against the chains that binded her. "What do you want from me?!"
"Your power, what else?" the Lady Asaka replied smoothly.
"What power?! I don't have a power!!"
"Yes, you do. Yours is-" Asaka was cut off as an arrow sliced neatly in front of her face. She whirled around to see her attacker. "Who's there?!"
"The Ronin Warriors, at your service." said an English accent. Sai stepped out of the shadows.
"Well, well. Come to save your little friend?" Lady Asaka held Brie up by her hair like a prize trophy. Her hair was down, out of her braid and flying around like the wind. Tears of pain and terror streaked a path down her face.
"Brie?!?!" the five shouted.
"Let her GO! DAMN YOU!" came from Ryo's way.
"And why should I? She has a great power inside herself that needs to be AWOKEN!" with that, Asaka threw Brie up in the air and shot a beam at her.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" a bright silvery light emenated from her forehead, destroying the beam. Brie fell to the ground in front of the Ronins, barely concious. Beneath her bangs, a bright glowing chi was seen.
"What?! Brie-chan?!" Ryo was the first at her side. Shaking her, he found a weak pulse. He grabbed at the chains, ripping them off.
"Wha-? Who are you? What do you want?!" scared silver eyes stared up into tiger blue.
"Are you the Mage Warrior?" asked Kento.
"Huh? What's a Mage Warrior?" asked Brie, confusion written on her face. The kanji of 'Innocence' burned a bright silver on her brow.
"Just listen to me. Cry out Armor of Earthfire Dou Chin! Do it now!!" Rowen told her while parring a blow from Lady Asaka.
"Huh?"
"Just do it NOW!!" Sai yelled at her. The Ronins had departed in haste to protect her.
"Ok..ARMOR OF EARTHFIRE!! DOU CHIN!!" screamed Brie. Bright lights flashed around her, distracting all the fighters. Her armor appeared to look like a griffin. (Author's Note: Eclipse has a pic of what all the armors look like...) Her armor color was silvery-blue and green. Her helmet was pure silver. She had shethed swords (Elf's Note: I have a pic) across her back. "What the *HELL* is this?!"
"It is you! You are the Mage Warrior of the Armor Earthfire. Come with me now, and experience the power of the new Dynasty!" cried out Lady Asaka. She shot out another beam at Brie.
"NOOOOOOO!! STOP IT!!!!!!!" Brie screamed at the top of her lungs. As soon as she screamed, a bright light emited from all over her body. "Huh?! Wha-?!" The light started to carry her upwards to Lady Asaka. A flash of black and white jumped in front of her, breaking the connection and sending her falling to the ground. She landed behind the Ronins.
"Brie!! We will never turn her over to the likes of you!!" retorted Rowen, standing in front of Brie as though to protect her.
"Fine. I WILL be back. Mark my words, Ronins, the Mage Warriors will be the Dynasty's!" with that, and a swirl of black rose petals, Lady Asaka returned to the Nether Realm.
"Brie, are you ok?!" Ryo checked her over, "Did you know about this?"
"Who are you?! WHAT are you?! What do you want from me?!" to Brie's tired mind, everyone in shiny armor was bad. Even herself.
"Brie, it's me, Ryo. Don't you recognize me?" Ryo took off his helmet. Shaggy black hair fell into bright tiger blue eyes. Brie backed away slowly, her eyes widened.
"Ryo? You're a RONIN WARRIOR?! AS IN THE Ronin Warriors, as in the guys who save the world from evil every night on the news at ten?!!"
"Uh…yeah…?" Ryo seemed a smidget confused himself.
"REALLY?! THIS ISN'T A JOKE?!!! WICKED!!!!"
"Brie, are you a Mage Warrior?" Sage removed his helmet as well, revealing his bed-head blonde hair. Brie had to stifle a giggle as she looked at Sage's normally perfect hair.
"What's a Mage Warrior? All I know is that I was sleeping and the next thing I remember is floating around twenty feet in the air. And then this?!" she gestured to her outfit, "Will one of you please explain to me what the hell is going on? And why I was dragged from my nice, warm bed in the middle of the night."
"Where do you live?" Sai asked, balancing on his Yari and yawning.
"4826 East Hondia Street. Why?" Brie rubbed at her eyes while she told him her address. "Oh, by the way, how do I get this off?"
"Oh, that part's easy. All you have to do is concentrate and imagine the power forming into a little Kanji ball." Kento spoke up for the first time. He was pissed off because Tulpa had returned AGAIN just to try and steal five innocent girls. Well, four now that they had Brie. He wondered who the other four were and if they were cute. They probably weren't as mean as Sasami.
"Oh. Okay...I'll try." Brie closed her eyes and concentrated on the power. She felt a warm liquidy sensation running down her arm and pooling into her hand. In her mind's eye, she saw a little ball the color of a clear ocean with several other colors intertwining. When she opened her eyes, she looked down at her closed palm. When she opened it, a glowing medium sized marble connected to a chain rolled out and fell to the dewy ground. "This little thing, did THAT?!" she stared in awe at the little marble as it glowed and changed colors in the moon light. She bent down, and picking up the chain, clasped it around her neck.
"Are you okay?" Ryo went up to her and wrapped her in a hug. The other four boys shot each other looks at the display of emotion. "Hey, you okay?"
"Yea, I guess so. This is gonna take some getting used to huh?" she looked up into Ryo's eyes and saw concern.
"But, yea I'll be fine."
"Okay..Listen, I'll walk you home. Since tomorrow's Saturday, meet us at Mia's house and we'll begin the formal training." Ryo turned around, facing the other four. "You guys go home, I'll be there later. Bye." Taking Brie's hand and linking her fingers together in his own, they started walking to her house.
"I. Told. You. So." Kento evenly spaced out his words, and trying not to laugh at his friend's shocked expressions.
~~In front of Brie's house
"Brie..I..uh.." Ryo wanted to kiss her, but didn't know how she would react. He considered his chances.
"What is it Ryo?" Brie was nervous. She wasn't sure if she should kiss him or not. She was basically falling asleep on her feet standing out here, but if there was a chance that he would kiss her, she was willing to take the chance. Ryo stood, looking down at his dark haired angel, deciding finally to take a chance. "Brie, I love you. I've loved you since I first saw you." Before the words were fully out of his mouth, Brie had started talking.
"Ryo..? You do? You did?" tears of happiness filled her eyes as she heard the words she had wanted to hear since they crashed into each other in the street. "I love you too." Ryo just about stopped breathing. He looked into her eyes to see if she was joking or not. She wasn't.
He began to lean down to kiss her. Brie blinked at his decending face and decided to go for it. She stood on her toes and met his lips halfway. His hands came up to caress her face and thread his fingers through her hair. Her hands came up to gently play with his hair. Ryo applied a little more pressure to her lips. Brie moaned softly into his lips, and he took the chance and gently stroked his tongue against her lips. At her second moan, he let his tongue enter her mouth. Their two tongues play a short game of tag. The seconds turned into minutes, from there, it felt like eternity had become theirs for the taking.
"Brie..please don't ever leave. Promise me." Ryo said breathlessly, as they pulled away from the embrace. Brie smiled against Ryo's throat.
"I promise, love. I swear it." She grinned up at him, continuing to play with his fly-away locks. She looked up into his eyes, and gently kissed him once more. "I've gotta go. Before my mom comes out."
"Ok. I love you, little silver-eyed angel." He kissed the tip of her nose and then hugged her tightly. "Good night, Brie."
"I love you, too, tiger-blue devil. 'Night." Brie reached down and dug her key out of the base of a flower pot. She saw the look Ryo was giving her. "I always forget my key, so mom finally put one out so I could get back in." She looked up at Ryo once more, and ever-so-gently kissed him. "Are you going to come and pick me up tomorrow?" she whispered.
"Yup." Ryo kissed her hard on the mouth once more before shooing her inside. When he was sure she was safe, he began the long walk home.
~~Mia's house
"Well, where do you guys think he is?" Kento asked, fiddling with his orange headband.
"I'd say he's in her room." Sage inputted. He was just joking, but the look that he got from Sai was a killer. "What do you like her or something?"
Sai looked temporarily startled. "Me like Brie? No, I just feel like I need to protect her. That's all." His lilting English accent filled the room. "My guess is, Ryo is most probably listening at the door. Am I right, Ryo?"
The door to the room the boys were in slowly opened. The look on Ryo's face was of pure and true love. He walked in, in a total daze, and nearly tripping over Rowen, made his way to his bed.
Sage cocked an eyebrow, "I think my guess was right." This time he got a glare from both Sai and Ryo.
"No actually, her house is on the other side of town, so it took me a long time to get back here." Ryo answered, flopping down onto his bed. The look remained on his face.
"Well, what the hell happened? You are never this happy, and it's starting to scare me." Kento said, sitting cross-legged on the plush beige carpet.
"Nothing much…just that she loves me back…that's all." Ryo's dreamy face remained as Kento started to bust out laughing.
"Kento, what are you laughing at?" Ryo was hopelessly confused.
"I. Told. You. So, guys." Kento began to chant 'I told you so, I told you so' while laughing his head off and rolling around on the carpet. White Blaze came up to him and began to lick him, only causing Kento to laugh harder.
"Kento do please SHUT UP!!" Rowen shouted, grabbing a pillow and clobbering Kento with it.
Mia walked in, surveyed the surroundings, and walked back to her room. 'Will they ever shut up?' she asked herself. She went back the slave computer, and updating the information on the Mage Warriors. The image that popped up was one of the Armor. "What the..?! Guys..GUYS!! COME HERE NOW!!" she screamed. The boys ran into Mia's room to see what was wrong.
They saw the picture on the computer, causing them to stop dead in their tracks. It was a picture of the full armor of Valigant.
In the back round, were the ten armors. Near it was standing a small silverish-blue striped tiger, much like White Blaze. Only smaller. 'Where is Blaze anyway?' Ryo thought, looking out the window. He saw what he thought was a streak of white and black. Suddenly, Blaze's loud battle roar broke the silence of the house. "What!? Blaze! What is it?" Ryo was the first to respond to his tiger's growl.
He ran out of the room, closely followed by the others, and ran downstairs and out the door. What he saw when he got there, was Lady Asaka.
"Ronins to Arms! Armor of Wildfire! Dou Chi!!"
"Armor of Halo! Dou Chi!"
"Armor of Torrent! Dou Shin!"
"Armor of Hardrock! Dou Chi!"
"Armor of Statra! Dou Inochi!"
Suddenly, the yard was filled with the hypnotic scent of cherry blossoms. The five Ronin Warriors stood in full battle armor. Ryo unsheathed his swords. The loud metallic clang could be heard from all over the property.
"Chill out, Ronin punks. I'm only her to give you a message from Tulpa. Hand over the bearers of the Mage armors, and he will not invade." Asaka relayed the Dynasty Emperor's command.
"We will never turn them over to you scum bags. We've already beaten Tulpa twice and we have his three Warlords, as well as Kayura. He's as good as dead all over again!" Ryo stood his ground not believing what he was hearing. Hand over Brie? Not in this lifetime.
"Fine. Do not come crying to me when you are nearly dead. The Dynasty will PREVAIL!" and with that, Lady Asaka disappeared into a whirl of black rose petals. Ryo looked at the spot where she had just been. He concentrated and detransformed into his old clothes.
"Ryo? Are you ok?" Sai came up to him after he had detransformed, and put a hand on his friend's shoulder. Rowen, Sage and Kento also detransformed back into the clothes they were wearing earlier.
Blaze's howl was heard for in the woods. The five boys looked up and were surprised to see the same little tiger (although it was a little bigger…) that was in the picture with the armors.
"Blaze, hey boy, what'cha got there? A little friend?" Kento came up to the two tigers and gently picked up the littler one. All the while he was doing this, Blaze was watching his every movement. Rowen spoke up.
"Do you guys think we should bring him to Mia and see if it's the same tiger?" Kento was still holding the tiger, which had fallen asleep.
"What is going on out here?! You'll wake Yulie!" Mia came out of the house, shouting in a whispered voice. Kento slowly walked up to her and deposited the young tiger in her arms.
"What is this? Is it Blaze's?"
"Uh, Mia?" Ryo started blushing, "Blaze is a male tiger. I'm pretty sure he can't have cubs."
"I meant could Blaze, like y'know, have a girl friend?" the small tiger yawned widely and stretched its paws in the air. "It's a she."
"Oh. Ok. Well, Mia, do you think it's the same one? The one from the scroll?" Sai asked, petting Blaze on the head absentmindedly. Blaze purred contentedly. "I think it is. You see the mark on her forehead?" she pointed to a symbol on the tiger's head. "It's the kanji of eternal hope. It's the exact same one."
"Well, I think we should get to bed so we can actually wake up in time tomorrow to train Brie." Sage had been quiet during the whole conversation, now he added his part.
"Who's Brie? Is she the bearer of Earthfire?"
"Yup, as well as Ryo's new-" Kento was effectively silenced as Ryo and Sai's elbows plowed into his abdomen.
"Ryo's new what?" Mia asked curiously. She had a feeling he would say 'girlfriend' if he could catch his breath.
"Well, night, boys. Here take the new arrival with you." She handed the small tiger to Ryo.
"Ok. Night, Mia." The five boys trooped upstairs to their respective rooms, and turned in for the night.
~~Next morning
"Gabby! Honey! There's someone waiting for you!" Laure called upstairs to her sleeping daughter, "Gabriella! Are you even awake?"
A murmured 'I don't know' came from the floor above.
"I'm really sorry about this. She's just a really heavy sleeper. If you want, you can try and wake her up. But, first, move all the throwable items out of her reach, ok?" she watched as the handsome youth walked up to her daughter's room.
Ryo opened the door labeled 'Brie's Room, Enter at your own risk.' He slowly walked in and saw her laying on her side, back facing him. He looked around and started to move all the items that could be used to throw at him. Once he had done that, he went and sat on Brie's bed and turned her body towards him. Her hair was still down and covered half of her face. He gently pushed it aside and leaned down to wake her. As his lips gently caressed hers, she woke up. Brie was somewhat surprised to see Ryo's face right above hers. She felt his soft and silk-like lips on her own. She began to kiss him back. When the kiss ended, Ryo opened his eyes and stared lovingly down at her.
"Morning."
"Hey, morning. How'd ya get in my room?" Brie was curious. She remembered her mom saying there was someone waiting for her downstairs. "What time is it?"
"It's a little past 11:45. Time to go. I brought Mia's Jeep today so we don't have to walk." Ryo was still watching Brie's every movement, including her morning stretches. When she arose from the bed, she was wearing a small white tank top with three stars on it. Her p.j. bottoms were the palest of lavender and gray stripes. Brie was conscious that Ryo was following her every step.
"Uh..can you get out for a minute so I can get dressed?"
"Oh, sure!" Ryo blushed a pale pink and backed out of the room. "Oh, yea, you might want to wear something loose and comfortable." He said as he walked out.
"Oh. Thanks!" Brie turned into a small whirl as she hurried up and got dressed. Her outfit consisted of a pair of loose fitting Daisy Duke cutoffs, and a pale lavender tank top. She slipped on her tennis shoes and grabbed her satchel. She walked downstairs and met Ryo waiting in the den. "I'm ready."
"Ok, dear. Have fun! Do you have a key?" Laure asked her daughter.
"I…e…" she searched through her bag. "Yea! Here it is!" Brie held up the small key triumphantly. "See you later, Moma!"
Brie and Ryo walked out the door to the Jeep. As Brie hopped into the passenger seat, Ryo started up the jeep. As they made their way across town, they were unaware of the danger that awaited one of their friends.
~~Fuhurata's
"Sasami! Table four's food is waiting!" the cook, Chianti, shouted to Sasami. Hokkai Chianti looked at first glance to be a mean person. But once you got to know him, he was an okay guy. He stood around 6'2",thin, and balding slightly.
When Sasami had first started, he had scared her bad. But after the first few weeks, she had learned that he was pretty cool.
"SASAMI!! Did you hear me?!" Chianti shouted. Sasami whirled around when she heard her name shouted. She had been very worried over Brie.
"Yea, yea. I heard ya!" she swooped down to grab the food and delivered it. As she was making her way back, someone stopped her. She looked up into blue eyes. "Kento-baka! What do you want? To torment me or something?!" she tried to walk around him, but he grabbed her arm. "Huh?!" She was tired enough as it was. She was ready to go to the back room for a small nap. And she wanted to ignore the butterflies that invaded her stomach at Kento's touch.
"Sasami-baka, listen. Brie and Ryo are already hooked up. So we don't need to keep plotting. Just thought you'd like to know." Kento said, releasing her arm and sauntered off home, shaking off the feelings that this girl had awakened in him.
Sasami felt a hand on her shoulder and jumped. She whirled around, facing her boss. "Sasami-san, are you feeling ok? Would you like to take the rest of the day off?"
"Yea, I'm ok, I guess. But I think I need to go study or something." She tried to stifle a yawn. "So, I can go home?" she asked, taking off her apron.
"Yes, just make sure to call if you're sick and can't come in tomorrow." Hutyi waved as Sasami walked out into the busy streets of Tokyo.
"Well, well, well. Look at my luck. Yet another Mage Warrior unguarded. Looks like I get to have some fun." Lady Naru said, appearing in front of poor Sasami. "Satono Sasami. I have an offer for you."
"Who are you?" Sasami asked, getting the feeling that she should begin running. She took one running step, but before she could take another, she was engulfed in a bright flash of light.
~~Mia's house
"Okay, now swing to your left, block with your right. Ok, try it again. Lead with your left, Brie! Yea! That's it!!" Rowen was in charge of training Brie to block and rebound each punch thrown at her. The rest of the clan came up to see how the training was going. Yulie, following behind, was carrying the little tiger. When he reached the edge of the group, the tiger looked up and bounded out of Yulie's arms. It carefully weaved its way around the boys' legs to see what all the excitement was about. It was at about this time that Brie decided to take a break.
"Why didn't anyone TELL me it'd be this HARD?!" she shouted, dropping to the ground. The tiger padded up to her and rubbed her head against Brie's arm. Brie looked down and cooed. Picking up the tiger, she saw the symbols on her head. "Eternal hope…"
"You know about that?" Sai walked up to her. Brie and the tiger looked up at him with the same expressions.
"Know about what?" Brie was busy tracing the symbols on the tiger's forehead. When she finished, the kanji began to glow. "Huh? What's going on?!" the tiger slowly walked off of Brie's lap and sat down in the middle of the semi-circle. As it glowed, it also grew. When the glowing tiger dimmed to a bearable light, Brie looked up and saw an apparition.
"Anubis?" Sage asked. It was true. Anubis in all of his spirit glory was standing next to the now BIG tiger.
"It is I, Halo. I see that you, Ronins, have found one of the Mage Warriors, as well as one of the guardians. The tiger's name is Rain's Blaze." Anubis slowly turned into flesh and blood like the real people. "Lady Naru has kidnapped another Mage Warrior. The Warrior of the Golden Sun Armor. She is the leader along with Earthfire."
Rain's Blaze padded up to Brie as she sat, dumbfounded, at what she had just heard. 'I'm a leader?! There's another one like me?!' Rain licked her face, gently pulling her out of her stupor. "What is it, girl? Is the enemy here yet?" tears had formed in Brie's eyes for some unknown reason. 'HELP!!!!!' Brie doubled over in pain. It felt like someone had kicked her in her chest. (Elf's note: I think all of us girls out there know how this feels…) 'Somebody!! Please help me!!' She kept hearing the same words over and over in her head. Someone was screaming at her, and she couldn't figure out who it was. It sounded like Sasa-chan, but it couldn't..it can't.. "SASAMI-CHAN!!" she screamed in terror as Sasami and a new lady of the Dynasty appeared in front of the Ronins and Anubis. Sasami was struggling to get out of Lady Naru's hold.
"Let me go, you stupid dike!! What the HELL do you want?!" Sasami continued to kick and scream, unaware of the others present. She was suddenly dropped and placed in a Dynasty bubble.
"Ronins and Mages to arms!! Armor of Wildfire! Dou Chi!!"
"Armor of Torrent!! Dou Shin!!"
"Armor of Halo!! Dou Chi!!"
"Armor of Hardrock!! Dou Chi!!"
"Armor of Strata!! Dou Inochi!!"
"Armor of Earthfire!! Dou Chin!!"
The magical smell of cherry blossoms filled the air. Brie was in a near rage at the sight of her nakayoshi in the hands of the Dynasty. This could only mean one thing…
"Hand over Earthfire, and I won't kill you." Was all the new Dynasty warrior had to say.
"Never. We'll die first, but we won't hand over Brie." Ryo said, walking in front of the afor mentioned warrior. "Armor of Wildfire! FLARE UP NOW!!" he released his sure kill on Naru. She was barely able to dodge it before it smoked her alive.
"You asshole! Look what you did to my face!" he had indeed made his mark on her cheek, where the fire had grazed. "I will return!!" in a flash of crimson rose petals, she was gone.
"Sasa-chan!" Brie ran up to her, only to be repulsed by the bubble shield around her. "Wha..?"
"Brie, stand back." The five Ronins formed a circle around Sasami. They then willed their armor power to release her from her prison. In a bright flash of light, Sasami was seen laying on the ground, unconscious. A little golden orb with the kanji 'Love' was around her neck.
Brie ran up to her and shaking her shouted, "Is she ok? What happened?! Sasa-chan! Wake up!!" Ryo gently pulled Brie away from Sasami.
"Yea, she's ok, she just needs to rest. Kento will bring her upstairs." Ryo said, detransforming. He nudged Brie and she did the same.
"I will?! Do you guys even REMEMBER what she called me?!" Kento was freaking out at the prospect of having to carry his enemy upstairs.
"Kento shut up and do it!" Rowen shouted.
"I will, but I don't wanna…" Kento gently picked up the slumbering Sasami and carried her into the house. Leading himself upstairs, he chose to put her in the room he and Sai shared. As he gently laid her down, he was aware of how angelic she looked while sleeping. She could be a bitch when she was awake though. As he walked back downstairs, he was aware of a feeling that hadn't been there before. Before he met Sasami Satono.
