"Darkness Revived"

Chapter Five

      Nai looked at the city and everyone living their normal lives. I know that I will destroy the girl and the Ronins this time. With my plan, it will go very quickly and Master Hunter will rule this world. But, am I doing the right thing? These children could be the ones who destroy Hunter, and that would mean that I could be free from his rule. What should I do?

      "Hey, Ryo. How are you, bud?" Rowen said, coming into his room with a bowl of soup.

      Ryo sat up in bed and looked at him. "I'm fine, Ro."

      "I made you some soup since Cye is out right now." Rowen put it down on the night table. White Blaze got up and looked at the soup. "None for you, White Blaze. This is for Ryo."

      "Thanks. I just hope I can't get any sicker from anything." He started to giggle.

      "You just get better. We might need you if Nai attacks."

      "What about Mia?"

      "She's behind in work and is totally stressed out right now."

      Suddenly a scream rang throughout the house. "What was that?"

      "I'll go check it out." Rowen went out of the room.

      "Is she okay?" Kento asked as he saw Mia's head by her laptop.

      "I don't know," Kayura replied.

      "Maybe she just freaked out."

      "What's everyone doing here?" Cye asked, looking around.

      "What happened?" Rowen asked, coming into the room.

      "We don't know. Mia just totally freaked," Sage said. Mia raised her head and fell backwards onto the floor. "Mia, are you okay?"

      "I just lost a week's worth of work in a matter of seconds. It's going to take me all night to redo it."

      "Mia, why don't you take a short break? You should go and see Ryo. Love is the best medicine," Rowen said.

      "I thought laughter was."

      "Kento!"

      "Maybe I do need a break." Mia got up and closed her laptop.

      "Ryo, are you awake?" Mia peeked her head into the room.

      "Mia, is that you?"

      "Hey there." She went in and sat on the bed next to him. "How are you doing?"

      "Great, now you're here." He sat up and looked at her. "What was that screaming?"

      "That was just me. I just lost a week's worth of work. I'm going to have to stay up all night to get it done."

      "You'll be fine, Mia."

      "I know I will, but how about you? Let's check on you now." She put her hand on his forehead. "You still have a fever, but it should be gone soon." She kissed him on the forehead and looked over to the night table. "You didn't eat. What's wrong with it?"

      "Rowen made it."

      "I got it. I think Cye's home. I'll go ask him to make something." Mia got up and a flash of light came from outside. "What was that?"

      "I think that's Nai's sign that he's ready for a fight." Ryo started to get out of bed, but Mia stopped him.

      "Stay here. You can't fight this way. I'll take care of everything. Come on, White Blaze."

      "Are you sure?"

      "I can take care of anything." Mia gots up and ran out the door with White Blaze behind.

      "What was that?" Dais asked. He turned around and saw Mia come out. "Did you see that?"

      "Sure did. We better get ready to fight, though." Everyone turned into their subarmors.

      "Well, where is he?"

      "Right here." Nai floated down to the ground. "I must warn you, this will be your last battle."

      "I don't think so. Armor of Halo, Strata, Torrent, Hardrock, Cruelty, Corruption, Venom, Illusion!"

      "Armor of the Heavens." They started to attack Nai, but Nai attacked back.

      "Mia! Why don't you finish this guy off?" Cale said.

      "Okay. Celestial Heavens Cry!" It went straight toward Nai and hit him, but didn't leave a mark.

      "That tingled."

      "What?! How can this be?"

      "This has never happened before," Cye said.

      "That's because I took special precautions this time. Your attack won't hurt me, girl, and I don't have to worry about the Inferno, so it looks like a win."

      Mia dropped to her knees and dropped her head. "No, we can't lose now."

      "How about I give you a consolation prize?" He held out what looked like a black horseshoe and threw it at Mia. It hit her and knocked her into the tree. The horseshoe surrounded the tree and Mia, trapping her.

      "Oh, Mia," Kayura said.

      "You should be worrying about yourself, not her." He took out his staff and attacked. "Dark Night Shade!" The others dodged the attack and fought back.

      "Arrow Star Shock!"

      "Black Lightning Crash!"

      "Super Tsunami Smasher!"

      This can't be happening. He reflected my attack like it was nothing. I could get Ryo to fight, but he's sick and I don't want him to get hurt. The others are fighting, but they can't do much with out Ryo's armor to help. What am I supposed to do? I can't give up. The symbol of love appeared on her forehead. "Hey, Nai!" He turned toward Mia. "Leave them alone!"

      "And what are you going to do about it?" Mia put her feet on the ground and started to glow. She lifted herself up and ripped the tree out of the ground. Then she shattered the horseshoe trapping her.

      "Wow! I didn't know Mia could do that," Sekhmet said in surprise.

      "I don't think anyone did," Kento replied. I didn't know she had that kind of power.

      Mia held her staff in both hands. "Are you scared, Nai?"

      "Of course not. Dark Night Shade!"

      "Celestial Heavens Cry!" They clashed, but Nai's overpowers Mia's and sent her into the wall.

      "We need to do something," Rowen said.

      "We can't let her fight like this. Her armor is useless," Cye replied.

      Wisdom, Life, Justice, Trust, Loyalty, Obedience, Serenity, Piety. Each of their armor started to glow and went toward Mia. She screamed as they pounded into her. Then her armor started to glow. "What's happening? Armor of Inferno!" Suddenly, she appeared in the armor of Inferno with Black Blaze next to her and holding Ryo's swords. Mia dropped the swords and backed away. "What's going on?"

      "What just happened?" Sage asked.

      "Somehow, her armor turned into the armor of Inferno with help from us," Kayura answered.

      "This must be some kind of trick. I won't be defeated so easily. Dark Night Shade!"

      Mia froze, but Black Blaze got her out of the way. "Thanks. Now what am I supposed to do?"

      "Mia! Use the swords!" Rowen screamed.

      Mia picked up the swords and looked at them. "But I don't know how to use them!"

      "You need to believe in their power!" Kayura screamed.

      "Nothing can help you now, girl. Dark Night Shade!"

      "Inferno Fire Blast!" Mia hit Nai and he disappeared, but Mia couldn't control its power and it went crazy. All the guys went for cover and the trees caught on fire. She dropped the swords and the attack stopped. Cye ran out and went in front of the burning trees.

      "Super Tsunami Smasher!" The fire died down and finally stopped. "That was a close one."

      Everyone turned around and looked at Mia. She stared at the swords, then at the burned trees, and then she fainted.

      "Oh, Mia." They ran to her to catch her.

      "Nai, you failed me again. I think I need a new warrior."

      "I'm sorry, Master, but somehow the girl was able to call upon the armor of Inferno and it was more powerful than when the boy uses it. It was unexpected."

      "So, the princess has a couple of tricks up her sleeve. She will be a wonderful opponent when the time comes. Until then, I am relieving you of your duties. Someone else will be taking care of the princess and her friends."

      "Yes, Master." Nai got up and started to walk out. That girl is very powerful. I've wanted to get away from him for ages, but he was too powerful. She does have what it takes to destroy Hunter. I must help her and her friends out in any way I can. They will be the ones who will set me and so many others free after all these centuries.
