Chapter 3
Eclipse
Hey, It's me again! Only this and one more fic today and I'll _finally_ be caught up! (Hail the conguering hero!) No, I haven't watched Alladin recently... he he he.... Anyway... Once again, thought-to-thought communication will be writne like ~this~. That's enough fer now, enjoy!

Eventually, I gave up. I walk into the kitcen. Kento was eating and Cye and Rowen were laughing at something I didn't hear. "hey guys, no luck either/"
"No. It's like this thing doesn't exist. No broken branches, no impact points, and most importantly, no ship." Cye replies.
"And besides," Rowen adds, "If it come from outer space, it should have started a forest fire, from heat alone."
"Man, this is wack! Maybe Tyria's scouter's busted."
"No, Kento. It's working just fine. Tatnks for your confidence." We all turn around to see Tyria leaning in the kitchen doorway and Sage standing behind her. "If it were broken than your armor data's would have been wroung as well. Oh, when Sage couldn't contact anyone, he came here. This means if we're attacked, we'll be at full strength."
"Whoa, when'd she become a War-hawk? Hey Sage, want some?"
Sage shakes his head. "Sage , is something wrong?" I ask worriedly. I hat to be suspicious, but with a symbiot on the loose.
"No, just tired. Kento, should you really be eating that? Did you ask Mia?"
"Uh, well, no..."
"We don't live her anymore, you can't just eat all you like. You should've waited until Mia got here and asked."
"Whoa, mental note: Sage gets cranky when tired."
"And so does everyone else. Besides, it's true, Kento shoulda asked Mia."
"Aw, man, why's everybody harpin' on me all of a sudden?"
"Do you people _always_ act this way?"
"No, normally, we're worse."
"...And these are the people who defeated Talpa. Unbelievable."
"Hey, did you guys hear that?"
"Hear what?"
"I can't hear anything over Kento's eating!"
"Hey!"
"I heard it too. It must be Mia's jeep."
"Let's go see!"
Everybody except Tyria rushes out of the kitchen to the living room. Sage and I make it outside but Kento, Cye and Rowen get stuck in the door frame. The three fall to the ground as Tyria pushes them forward. She smiles as she walks out side over top of the three fallen Ronins.
Mia gets out of her jeep, sees the scene before her and shakes her head. "Mia, I'm so glad you're..."
Tyria wraps one of her coils around Mia's waist and lifts her up off the ground. "tyria, what are you doing?!"
"She could be a symbiot!"
"But her jeep..."
"...Wasn't here when we got here, but Meiun would be smart enough to drive away and come back, and to hide any trace of her coming. That would explain why no one found anything!"
"Are you accusing Mia of..."
"No, I'm accussing Meiun. Mia, speak now and prove yourself."
"Tyria, let go off me!! What's gotten into you!? Guys, stop her! Let me go!!!" Mia is lowered to the ground and then releases slowly. Death hisses quietly, then says, "Sssomething isss not rrright. Mia, we arrre sssorrry. Asss we sssaid to Sssage..."
"You did this to Sage to?" Rowen raises an eyebrow.
Death clears her throat. "...Asss we sssaid to Sssage, we arrre edgy. You sssee, Mia, a sssymbiot landed sssomewherrrre nearrr herre and we fearrred you had been capturrred."
"Listen, everyone, it's getting really late. Mia ,can we all bunk here for the night?" Mia nods. "Great. I wouldn't wanna leave you alone with the symbiot loose around here. Everyone, we're phoning home. Make up some excuses, or somethin'. In the morning, we'll wait for the symbiot to come to us. No one goes anywhere by themselves. 'Cept the bathroom. Everyone, take their old rooms. Mia, you should sleep in the attic with Tyria, it'll be safer."
"Ok."
Rowen slaps Sage on the back, "Guess we're roomies again, eh buddiie?" Sage only shrugs.
"Hey, Cye, room-mate, guess you can make supper, eh?"
"Kento, you just ate! Besides, I cooked Sunday. And Saturday. It's Rowen's turn."
"On the other hand, I did just eat, I think I'll just go straight to bed." Tria watches our whole 'happens everyday Rowen cooks' routine with amusement.
"Oh, come on, I'm not _that_ bad."
"Yes, you are."
"Oh, and how would you know?"
"We were in your home-ec class."
Everyone falls silent. The Ronins all look at Sage. "Sage, you're s'pposed ta say, 'Let me remind you, first, you burnt the ice-cream, second, you electrified yourself with yogurt and third, you burnt down the class room. Hello-o?"
"I'm going to go to bed now. See you all tomorrow."
"Well, somebodies in a pissy mood." Evryone looks accusingly at Tyria.
"Don't look at me, I was being pleasent."
"is anyone actually planning on eating what I cook?" Tyria raises her hand but Cye pulls it down. "Guess I won't cook then."
"Good. Saves on damages to Mia's kitchen." Cye states.
"Even Rowen doesn't want to eat Rowen's cooking!" Kento exclaims. Everyone breaks out laughing except for Mia.
"Listen guys, I had a busy day today, and now I'm going to bed."
"Ok Mia, we'll be quiet."
"For once." Cye adds. Everyone goes into Mia's house and makes their phone calls. Then, everyone splits off to their rooms.
I normally share my room with WhiteBlaze, but he's not here. He's probably worried sick about me.
When I get to my room, I hear a noise at my window. I transform to my under armor and approach carefully. I don't open the window incase it's the symbiot, and I look out into the now dark world.
WhiteBlaze stares back at me. I smile and open the window. "WhiteBlaze! Man, you musta traced me here. Come on in, bud." I close the window quickly after he's through.

I knew something was wrong when my room-mate took up less than two hours in the shower. I got seriously scared when he passed on meditating. He decided to stay in his room instead of comming outside to spar with us.
Ryo went into town with Mia's jeep and came back with some more food and Uli.
Right now, Tyria is whoopin' our asses royally. We are all transformed fully and right now she has us up in the air, our weapons scattered wildly around the ground.
Currently, she's taken to zooming Kento around and making airplane noises.
We are all laughing like crazy, including Tyria and Uli. It must be hard making airplane noises while laughing. Sounds like the plane's engine is about to bust.
Then, Sage finally came out of the house, followed by Mia and WhiteBlaze. He raised an eyebrow.
Tyria finally broke out laughing so hard that she drops us all and falls to the ground herself. "Hey, Sage, wanna join us?" I ask hopefully. Maybe he's in a batter mood now.
"Yah, Tyria was teaching Kento how to fly." Cye adds.
"Guess he finally crashed." Ryo comments.
Around her laughter, Tyria manages to choke out, "Guys... stop... please... my... stomach's... starting... to... hurt!"
"Shoulda thought of that before you decided to turn me into the little airplane that could."
"Couldn't."
"So Sage, wanna join in?" Cye asks again.
"I wonder if Tyria's ever gonna stop laughing?" Ryo thinks out loud.
"Yah, we got her good this time." I remark.
"Yo, Sage, answer me."
And at that moment, Sage gets a strange look in his eye. "Sssurrre. Arrrmorrr of the Eclipssse, Dao Jiki!" He transforms into an armor that looks exactly like Halo, except it's coloured entirely black. Sage turns his attention to Tyria, still trying to catch her breath from the major attack of the giggles she had, unaware of Sage in this strange new armor. Uli runs infront of him.
"Wow, cool armor Sage! Where'd it...ow!" Sage backhands Uli, who flies backwards into Tyria.
"Whoa, Sage, what are you doing?" Ryo yells.
"Calm down."
"What's gottin' into you?!" Kento helps Uli up while the rest of us glare at the guy we maybe don't know as well as we thought we did. Mia walks over to Sage and puts a hand on his shoulder.
"Sage, what's wrong? Just tell us, and we'll help..." Mia says soothingly.
He knocks Mia flying away from him and into Ryo. Tyria, totally unafraid, most likely because evryone knows that Sage is totally head-over-heels for her, walks right up face to face with the Warrior of Wisdom "Listen, Mister, what in Hell do you think..." He knees her right in the gut as hard as he can, the knee blade from his armor going through her armor and cutting into her flesh. She falls to the ground, clutching her stomach in surprise.
"Sage! Stop it!" I yel. What's wrong with him? I move forward to help Tyria when she mumbles something only I'm close enough to hear. "Dispair..."

Da da.... (Freaky music ensues.) Welcome to...the Eclipse zone. Well, I'm happy with that installement, I LOVE the airplane thing. I was in french class last year when I wrote that. That's right, last year....Well, more like half-a year ago....my roughs are way further than what I've typed. When I first sent Chapter one of Death and Destruction in to des arcanes, swear to god, I was half-way done the rough for the third story... then, production slowed down with the introduction to high-school, and now that I have seventy-million side projects, many of which wil come in under some of my other aliases then Tyria. (Hint hint, SD) .? Anyway, yah. I still have one more fic for today until I'm totally caught up with what I promised to send in...so ^_^ Well, Ta for now!
