"KENTO!!!!!" an enraged Cye cried at the Ronin of Hardrock. "GET OUT OF THAT PAN AND SIT DOWN!!!!!!!!!" Cye smacked Kento's hand with the metal spatula he had for JUST that reason.
"But I'm HUNGRY Cye! You take to damn long!" Still griping Kento went over to the couch to sulk till the food was done.
"Your ALWAYS hungry Kento." Rowen said passively from the couch.
"That's cause I have a HEALTHY appetite, Mr. I never eat anything!" Kento snapped back.
'Guys! THAT IS ENOUGH!" Sage yelled, coming down the stairs. "How can Mia get her sleep if you guys are always yelling about something!"
"Now who's yelling SAGE?" Kento crowed from the couch.
Just as Sage was about to leap onto the errant Ronin, a voice lit in his head.
Sage of Halo, You are needed. Call the Ronins together and bring the girl.
Yes, Ancient.
"Guys let's move!" Sage called. He ran up the stairs and grabbed a hold of Mia's hand and tugging her down the stairs. "RYO get your ass in here and henshin already!" He followed the Ancient's instructions to the battlefield and paused to let the rest of them catch up. Looking around Sage waited for something to happen.
When something did happen the poor Ronins weren't quite ready for it.
KA-BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMM
A dark ominous figure stood on a small hill in the center of a large crater that had obviously been made by the large ball shaped spikes in his left hand. "Get DOWN HERE HALO!!!!!"
Sage looked surprised for a second at 'why' this dude knew his name and then happened to look up. "Oh-no Lazenu-no-Baka! I won't give you THAT opportunity again!" a cheery voice called from the air. The emerald cased warrior floated on large silver wings as she looked down on her adversary.
"Halo it is useless trying to defeat me! Look! Your brave senshi lay in broken shame and you are alone!" He laughed evilly at her hopeless position. She glared down at him not daring to come down to check on her warriors. "Give up Halo! It is a hopeless war you wage! You could never beat me! Come and be my slave, and I shall treat you like a queen!"
The brave warrior looked down at him once more. "Will you release my friends?"
"Yes milady! They shall be free once you are in my grasp." He told her, lying through his teeth. (And once you ARE in my grasp I shall have you! And kill those worthless senshi of yours..) He broke his train of thought as he found her folding her silver wings in front of him. "You have made up your mind?"
"Yes." Her wingtip was suddenly at his steel clad throat. "I think you are a lying son of a." she paused to control herself. "You sir have no honor what so ever and don't deserve to live, however," She presses the tip of her wing into his throat and the silver cuts through the steel like butter, a trickle of black. "You shall return to your master and tell him from me, Alena has returned and will seek her vengeance."
She turned from him allowing him to get in a stab at her tender wing joint. She felt it connect and staggered slightly. A feather shot from her wing and sliced his chest armor. He disappeared in a black mist, whispering in to the air as he past her,: you will be mine:.
Checking to see she was alone she staggered over to her senshi. Falling to her knees beside the slim figure in light blue she whispered hoarsely, "Kina?" she placed a hand on her throat and checked for a pulse. "Kina can you hear me?"
The figure, Kina, moaned and then cursed profusely. "Shimatta! Did you get him Alena?"
"I got him Kina, I need you to get up and out of this crater. Can you move?" Alena asked concerned.
"I'll manage Alena." Kina staggered up and started to climb out of the pit her tail and furry ears alert.
Next the young warrior Alena went to a downed figure in dark blue and checked for a pulse. "Nimako? Nimako are you alright?" She shook her slightly and was rewarded with a muffled yelp and a slap.
"Oh it's you Alena! Sorry bout that." She rose wincing at sore muscles and held her head. "Interesting day, eh?"
"Oh get out of here, you brat!" She gave Nimako a small shove towards the wall of the crater chuckling.
"Oi! I don't know why we listen to you." Nimako muttered moving off.
Shaking her head Alena moved on to the last figure that was already moving, "Ikono?"
"What Alena?" The figure in burnt orange demanded.
"Oh nothing, your fine if you can be that harsh." Alena turned and went to climb out of the crater her left wing hanging uselessly. She was helped out of the crater by two pairs of strong arms and Alena wrenched out of those arms as soon as she was atop the shelf. She backed away from the two boys who looked at her shocked. She glared back at hem, moving into a cautious stance three feet away.
"Who the hell are you? And what do you want?" She demanded circling them to get between them and her wounded senshi.
One of them stepped forward brown/black eyes holding wonder and surprise. His hand ran through his raven hair and he looked hard at her again. "My name is Ryo of the Wildfire." He extended his hand and Alena looked at him doubtfully.
"Ryo? Is it really."She trailed off as she caught a glimpse of Mia. "Mia." She looked confused then closed her eyes shaking her head. "No that's not right! I must be getting battle weary. It can't be her!" she sank to her knees then went on all fours her shoulders slumped forward. A sliver light grew around her and then an eagle as half as large as White Blaze perched beside her. The eagle fluttered over to Mia and looked at her cocking its head from side to side appraising her. Then it flew back to its mistress and looked her in the eye.
::It is her Alena.::
::It can't be Bikia.:: Alena hung her head. ::I failed to protect her those years ago.She perished with the other Ronins.::
:: Alena, heartsister look at me.:: The wing that had been so deadly before now came up to raise her shining face to look into Bikia's green-gold eyes. ::It is her! Look there is White Blaze.::
Alena looked up and saw the white tiger standing patiently beside his partner. Alena rose from her knees with a hopeful look on her face. "White Blaze?" she crept toward the large cat carefully.
White Blaze growled then purred and Alena almost fell to her knees again. "It is you!" She ran to the tiger and fell beside him hugging him tightly. She looked up at Mia once then back at White Blaze. "It is you." She whispered closing her eyes and giving into exhaustion.
"KENTO!!!!!" an enraged Cye cried at the Ronin of Hardrock. "GET OUT OF THAT PAN AND SIT DOWN!!!!!!!!!" Cye smacked Kento's hand with the metal spatula he had for JUST that reason.
"But I'm HUNGRY Cye! You take to damn long!" Still griping Kento went over to the couch to sulk till the food was done.
