Remember the Golden Rule
By: Misty-ChanCh. 4
"You would give your lives if it would in any way save this world from it's suffering. All the battles you've fought, lost, won; each for a selfless purpose." She then snapped out of her trance and the next words to escape her surprised everyone there, even the gorgeous white and black "kitten" called Whiteblaze. "Please let me fight with you, please teach me to fight them like you do!"
They looked at each other, at Misty, fearfully at each other; all the while thinking. "I don't see why you'd want to go through all we do… you might not like it.." Seiji warned.
"I do want to! I've nothing left! To pass up an opportunity like this would be stupid!" Misty calmed some from that outburst and went on. "I'll work hard, I won't complain, if you can take on a student, if you've got the time to spend.."
"I'll teach her," Shin stepped forward.
"I will too." Seiji did the same.
"As I." Touma joined in.
"Me too." Shu stepped up.
"Looks like you're gonna have homework." After a pause, Ryo had sealed her fate. She smiled and hugged Ryo for no real reason… No one could help but smile.
Weeks passed, she didn't have an armor, and there were none to give her.. so her training had to rely more on her own agility, which she had. She did work hard, and diligently. If they didn't want to stop sparring, neither did she. Never did she allow personal business to affect her training, and because of all this she became a very talented warrior. She could almost take out all five of the guys, as long as they didn't use their armor's power.. Each of the boys had something to teach her and she learned. Mastering the staff was easy; the Yari came next and all this while she studied Seiji and his No Datchi, learning to use it as well.
Times were hard during this, sweat poured and food usually didn't find the group until late in the night, sometimes not at all if they were too tired to digest it. But everyone smiled and Misty grew in the friendship she found in everyone.
Another week passed, then a few days and news came by way of their old enemies that the Dynasty was rebuilding and it's new minions were going to "test" out their foes and try to rid themselves of them early. The guys (and Misty) saw the battle to come but Misty's training didn't stop; they didn't have the time to stop and contemplate it. In fact she trained harder, as they did.
Lightning struck, unearthly black clouds filled the sky, driving away what life it didn't destroy and striking terror in the eyes that looked upon it. It was time. A warning was sent to them to be in Shinjuku or Japan would be the first to know their wrath. Time and exact location accompanied this mandate. The whole mansion was tense and waiting.
Misty was in her room, alone, writing in the journal she's d started on scraps of paper years ago.
Journal entry - 11/27
I have to ask them soon to let me fight. They won't like the idea, I know, but if I don't, what was all that work for? What if something happens, they might need my help.. well, winter's set upon us and though those horrid "clouds" keep from us any trace of snow, it's cold and crisp out. Uh oh, Ryo's doing room check, he's gotten real protective lately; he wants us all to be our strongest and most alert.. I'll ask over supper, if we get any tomorrow..

"Hey, misty, lights out right?" Ryo knocked on the door.
"Yes, Ryo. G'night!" she said kindly.
"Same to you, see you at five" yeah, 5am; at least they got sleep at all.. the lights were turned off and sleep came fast to her.
