Chapter 3



"Hello Ret, long time no see, you as un fit as ever, tell me what program do you use? The couch potato or the lazy buns-r-us?"

"Neither, I haven't had time, now what do you want from me now? I'm all ears." Retka replied. Grabbing her kanji for extra insurance incase she started to attack, she knew she would be ready.

"Retka, run, I'll hold her off, run for it." Rowen told her, as calmly as he could.

"Why worry Strata, you know as I do you're no match for me, no match at all. I mean Minera's sister is the challenge I want, not you, but I was ready for just in case you were here, I brought some friends with me, you remember Uncle's soldiers don't you?"

"I do."

"Rowen why'd- ya stop? Oh hey Naomi, what are you here for now?"

"Kento, Rowen I have some explaining to do, I'll tell you as soon as I can, probably after the soon-to-be brawl with Naomi. Naomi why'd you come today, why now, no Mia's gonna wait and I'll have a cold dinner again. What do you want from me?"

"You already know, and if you still refuse your sisters kind hospitality again, I'll be forced to kill you, and as you know that won't be a good thing for your families line or it's honor, it would have two disgraceful deaths."

"What do you mean two, and what honor do we have left, we lost all of it when Minera , decided to help our poor stupid uncle."

"Talpa is not stupid, he is a great man and leader, as well as a father to those who lost their father by some unnamed person, Cosmos."

"That's it, if it's a fight you want you'll get a fight , and here I am."

"What are you talking about, how do you know Naomi, how do you know all this, what's going on?!?!?" Kento yelled.

"I'm not who you think I am," Retka yelled. " ARMOR OF COSMOS I SUMMON YOU!!" after she said that she was soon surrounded in a swirl of misty darkness and blossoms.

"What the heck??" Rowen said.

"I'll tell you later, now if you plan to live past the next hour you'd better put on your armor, I'll hold of the demon guards as long as I can but you'd better hurry."

Kento and Rowen looked at each other, nodded and quickly put their armors on. They ran after Retka a quickly as they could but they didn't catch up that much. Shortly after arriving they saw Retka fighting one of the guards one on one and it was an even match.

"Ro, is she as weak as she looks or is it my imagination playing tricks on me?"

"No, it's real, she's fighting it."

"Be careful, some of them are stronger than they look, while you were enjoying peace on Earth, Minera was growing stronger and creating stronger demon guards, and well if you are caught off guard they can and will kill you, so WATCH OUT."

Retka dodged out of the way of the guard and pushed Kento out of the way just before he was cut in half by a guard. Soon they were all fighting. Retka killed her attacker and ran off.

"Ro, is she leaving us to die, or what is she doing?"

"I have no clue."

"TIME BLAST"

"TRUE FORM"



Suddenly two huge waves of power filled the area around the two Ronins, killing all of the remaining guards.

"What was that?"

"Rowen I'd hate to correct you, but the proper question would be, who did that, are they friend or foe?"

"Well, well, well Hardrock, and Strata, we're friends if you tell us where our little sister went." the one in gold and silver armor said, the one in brown and gold nodded in agreement.

"Well, she ran off in the middle of battle."

" I guess little Retti don't have the stomach for fighting, even after all the wars she's been in, even after the name she finally earned, she don't have the guts." the one in brown and gold said.

"No I've got the stomach, but Naomi was getting away and I had to deal with her before anything else happened, but right when I found her, she fell onto the ground and I think she's dead, I'd be sure or not, but since Accolon isn't here I don't know."

"What you don't know?" Rowen said looking at her with amazement in his eyes.

"It's easy, it they're not breathing, have no circulation, are cold to the touch, and aren't moving then they're dead." Rowen said, looking at her and smiling at his lucky chance to show off his knowledge to Retka.

"Well with our family it's kinda harder, I said I don't think she's dead because the only way to surely know if one of us is dead is to do one of two things, one slit our throat, then beheading us, or by completely materializing our bodies. If that's not done then who knows, our cousin's family was taught how to slow their heart beat, and how to fake every natural human death symptom." Retka looked at the girl who'd called her Retti to she if she was correct with what she'd said.

"Right." she said

"Hey do you want to stay with Mia, and I at her house? I'm sure thy other Ronin's won't mind."

"Well, you'd have to fit Terkit, and Risika as well, is that fine?"

"I don't think Mia would mind one bit." Retka looked at the two with admiration and love in her eyes, then she went back into her street cloths and started to walk back to Mia's house. After everyone was ahead, with the one in brown leading the way to the other's place, Rowen dropped back to talk to talk to Retka.

"So Ret, who on Earth are those two??"

"Oh they're my sisters, Nicolette, and Dominique, I haven't seen or talked to them since we escaped our sister, Minera's, prison, about oh, almost five years ago."

"What? It's been five years? I thought it was longer, wasn't it Nic?" Dominique stated.

"Well it would seem longer, being that time traveled so quickly in the Dynasty, and it travels slower here, but it'll be five years tomorrow. So Nic, are we there yet??"

"No, and don't start being annoying now, I finally got used to no annoyances, like the 'are we there yet?' Game and I like the no annoyance days more then the annoyance days." Nicolette said, before hugging Retka.

"Aw, looket the cute little sisters I have hugging each other, how cute!" Dominique cooed.

"Stop it, I'm not a little girl, I earned my title, doesn't that make me a grown up?"

"Well now it would, but your our little sister and we love you!!" Nicolette started cooing.

"It you start the big sisters game again I'll start the annoying little sis game and you both know how well I do that."

Nicolette and Dominique looked at each other and flinched.

"Why'd you just flinch?" Rowen earnestly asked.

"She can annoy any one, literally, and she nearly-no wait- she did kill one of Talpa's-Uncle's- strongest guards with her annoying ways."

"You mean she literally killed someone?"

"No, I didn't kill them, they killed themselves, because I wouldn't shut-up. So Nic, D, Are we there yet?"

"Yes, it's right here, I'll get them and then we're off, to Mia's." Dominique said.

"So how is my big sister any way?" Nic asked
