~*****~ change of scene ~^^^^^~ flashback ~~ Change into/out of first person POV
To clear up any confusion for you readers out there, Ryo's last line- "Let us see how you fair against a fully trained Guardian demon."- was actually meant to be "Let us see how you fair against a fully trained Guardian."- he was not meant to be demon. I don't know why I wrote it. But he does have a somewhat shady past. I needed him to be human so Meilin could have someone to love. Or at least partly human. MWAHAHAHA!!!
He Has Returned
Chapter Six History of Good, Past and Present
Higante attacked Ryo head on. The clash of their enormous powers shook the Earth. Sakura and the others immediately ran to the severely injured Syaoran. Eriol tried to heal him but to no avail. Sakura attempted to do the same but with no luck.
"You've been drained of too much magic to use the advanced healing needed to repair that pathetic boy," Higante called out, "Those dark chains that trapped you also drained your energy and gave it to me."
He smirked at Ryo.
"You've got no chance boy when you're only at ranger level, even though I couldn't get any of your energy, those ten gave me enough to be able to defeat twenty Guardians of your strength."
Ryo remained emotionless, staring coldly back at Higante.
"You'll end up just like your best friend over there, broken. Then who will protect them? I'll kill off the guys then maybe make the girls my concubines!!"
This ticked off Ryo. No one would dare touch any of his friends in that way. Especially Meilin and the girls. He attacked the disgusting creature with fury.
~*****~
"Eriol what do we do? Syaoran's condition is only going to get worse." Sakura said frantically, she was in hysterics with the way Syaoran was injured.
"There is nothing we can do for the time being, right now Ryo is the only one who can do anything."
"But why does he still have his powers?" Meilin asked
"He is a Guardian. Their power source is of a different type than that of a magician."
They turned their attention to the awesome battle before them.
~*****~
Ryo and Higante battled fiercely, neither gaining any ground. Higante grew more and more furious with each passing minute.
"Why won't you die you insect!?!?"
"This insect has far more power than you can imagine."
Higante picked up the pace of his attacks. Then he got through. With a sickening crack Ryo's arm was broken and his defenses were rendered useless. Higante broke out into a raging combo. Punch, kick, kick, slam, punch, kick, kick, elbow, ENERGY BLAST! With one great burst of energy, Ryo landed a couple yards away, crumpled and smoking. Higante turned his attention to the others.
"So what do you think of the Guardians now Eriol??"
"I think they're great."
"Huh?"
Higante could only grunt before Ryo, who acted as if nothing was broken, rammed into him, sending him flying across the battlefield. Ryo seemed uninjured, in fact, nothing was injured. He was surrounded by a bright white light, and you could hear he bones recracking into position.
Higante stood up, surprised beyond belief.
'Any Guardian with his power surely would have died after that beating, right?'
"Wrong Higante, you miserable little puke. Have you not felt my power growing during our battle. I can reach levels far beyond that of ranger."
Higante was thoroughly baffled when Ryo read his mind, only Guardians of knight level or higher could read a demon's mind.
"You're bluffing, Guardian."
"Oh I am, am I?"
He was again consumed by the white wind. He had transformed. His white armor was now that of silver, with light blue engravings, which had also changed. His hair had now become silvery, and but his light blue eyes had remained the same. He chanted again, which resulted in his scimitar morphing once again, this time its hilt had changed.
Higante was struck with shock.
'This kid can reach knight level?!?!? How is it possible???'
"YOU'RE TOAST!!!"
Higante yelled out and launched an energy blast at Ryo, which hit head on, sending all sorts of debris flying, and knocking some of Ryo's friends of their feet. Higante jumped up into the air and chanted, creating several new golems.
"GOLEMS!! Surround the area!!!"
The twenty golems soon surrounded the large cloud of smoke. Higante then went all out. He released all sorts of attacks, causing explosion after deafening explosion. After a few minutes Higante floated to the ground, smirking, believing nothing had escaped.
"Golems, kill the Clowmistress."
Eriol and the others surrounded Sakura protectively, but they knew without their magic, the golems would easily overpower them. The golems launched themselves at the group, only to be knocked away by several large attacks. They all looked up to find Keroberos, Yue, Suppi, and Nakuru coming to join the battle. On the ground they could see Touya and Fujitaka launching attacks of their own. The six newcomers battled fiercely, but Touya and Fujitaka, not having any fighting experience at all except in martial arts quickly joined Syaoran on the disabled list. Kero and Suppi had no luck either, their energies were easily repelled by the brute powers of the golems. Yue and Nakuru lasted a little longer, but were soon immobilized. Higante began laughing once again.
"Even the pathetic Chinese boy put up a better fight than that!!!" He spat at them. "Without the Guardian here you have no defense against my golems."
As if on cue, something shot out of the smoke that still hung around where Higante blasted Ryo. The light shot at each golem, knocking each one with a loud crack, causing each one of them to eventually crumble. Higante, in the meantime, was watching with anger, frustration, and fear.
'That Guardian survived my attack?? But I threw everything I had at him. There is no possible way that he could have survived!!'
He tore himself from his own thoughts and released one humongous energy beam, only to find that it had been easily deflected by Ryo.
Higante yelled out in apparent aggravation. Then he launched an energy bomb at Ryo, which was stopped.
"How's this for toast Higante? Ever had toast that wrapped its hands around your scrawny little neck then popped your head off like a bottled cap?? Huh?"
Ryo then launched the energy bomb into the atmosphere.
"HOW?? WHEN?? HOW DID YOU GET SO MUCH POWER???"
Ryo said nothing.
"ANSWER ME BOY, OR YOU SHALL SOON JOIN YOUR FRIEND XIAO LANG!!!"
Ryo gritted his teeth, then attacked, his yell seething with rage and anger.
Higante could not block any of Ryo's attacks, and sustained a huge amount of damage before landing a couple yards away. He stood up, his eyes wide with fear and astonishment.
Ryo finally spoke out to him "You'll pay for what you did to Syaoran."
"You can't. you wouldn't.Guardians don't kill!!"
"Oh yeah? Watch me."
Ryo teleported in front of Higante, who had only enough time to register the fact that Ryo was suddenly and unexpectedly in front of him, probably to kill him. Ryo lifted his palm up and yelled
"kabangisan ng kaiikasan!!!"
Higante screamed in agony and terror as a rainbow like beam of energy erupted from Ryo palm, first engulfing then vaporizing the demon.
Sakura and the others looked on in amazement, where 16 of them had failed, Ryo had succeeded. After registering that he was the victor, Ryo promptly flew down to the group, who could only look at him with amazement. He quickly healed the four guardians, Fujitaka, and Touya, but when attempted to heal Syaoran something went wrong.
"Why isn't Syaoran healing Ryo?" Sakura asked
"His wounds are too severe for me to heal, I need to make a potion for him. We need to get to my house immediately."
Ryo picked up Syaoran carefully, being sure not to aggravate his wounds, then floated, making Sakura and the others float as well. Then they sped off, towards an unknown destination. The flight only took a few minutes, three at the most, but it seemed as if the traveled for several hundred miles.
"Tokuno island" Fujitaka, said, recognizing the surroundings.
They were once again surprised, once they realized they had flown over 600 miles in a matter of minutes. They soon came in view of a house, nestled in the forest. It had a fence surrounding the back.
"Quickly, inside."
Ryo ushered everyone inside the house. The house was simple, but very warm and inviting. It had a small kitchen and dining area. It had several rooms upstairs and down, one containing a TV and entertainment system, however, everyone was too concerned about Syaoran to care. Carrying Syaoran cautiously, he led the outside, walking past a beautiful garden to a small building, which they all saw had some shield over it. Ryo carefully hnded Syaoran to Eriol, then walked to a small podium and waved his hand in front of it.
"Ryo Akura Yamamoto, commander of the eastern armies of the Guardian Force, commands thee to allow my friends and me to pass."
The shield surrounding the house disappeared.
"Hurry, there is not much time."
To the right there was a large, extensive library. They walked past it revealing a large laboratory, the walls filled with strange substances. Past looked like what seemed to be a rather large dojo. Ryo steered everyone into the lab.
"Put Syaoran on the table."
Eriol did so with the utmost care. Ryo quickly and expertly began pulling materials and items of the shelves, using telekinesis. He meticulously poured the ingredients into a beaker, measuring each amount carefully. Eriol, knowing how hard it is to concentrate with people in the room, directed everyone into a small place with comfortable sofas. There they waited for about an hour, when Ryo came out of the laboratory. When he did so, Sakura immediately stood up.
"Will he be alright Ryo?"
"He will be fine Sakura, his wounds have already begun to heal, but it will take at least another hour before he can even open his eyes."
Fujitaka and Eriol both glanced at him with looks that just seemed to say 'Explain'.
"But right now," Ryo said, "I do believe I have some explaining to do."
(A/N Aaaaaahhh, another long explanation for my readers)
"I was abandoned as a child, my parents, although of Guardian descent, were killed in a marketplace, by two assassins. My mother hid me away before joining my father in battle."
"How do you know?" Rika asked
"My master, Master Shamuura, told me, and she was my aunt."
"Explain more about the Guardians Ryo, Eriol told us something about them but I think we would like to know more." Sakura said
Ryo smiled at her, "The Guardian Force is a secret organization that was formed to protect the Earth from evil threats. It was established long before any sort of government or state existed. The first Guardians decreed that only those whose potential was already opened could be trained. The first group, the Nangunguna as they are called, set out on their own, finding and training those that showed potential."
"How could they tell which ones were to be trained or not?" Naoko inquired
"A person that can be trained in the Guardian force shows great psychic potential. Our psychic powers, telekinesis, telepathy, psycho kinesis, they are what set us apart. We can use these powers in different ways as well, for instance, one can use these powers to heal augment their own strengths, or even control weather. Even though all Guardians have the capacity for these so-called special psychic powers, most can only implement one in their life. I myself can only augment my strength effectively. Although I can heal and can control some things about nature, I cannot do them effectively as I can augmentation."
"But what can all Guardians do? Can you guys read minds and all that?"
"Yes, all Guardians must have telepathy and telekinesis in order to pass the Master trials, in which an apprentice becomes a master, and thus gaining authority in the Guardian Force and the right to take an apprentice."
"Are you a master Ryo?" Chiharu asked
"Yes, I passed the trials when I was twelve."
"The youngest ever I think" Eriol added
Ryo considered telling them more about himself for moment, about why he was ordained so young, but decided against it for some reason.
"You've been keeping up with our news, have you?"
"I like to check up on my allies once in while, we are going to need them."
"Indeed Eriol."
"Why are you getting involved now, I mean I think we can handle it." Shen said, while the others just stared at him, not believing he said such a stupid thing.
"I've seen what you can do, and although you all have determination, you just don't have the right training to be able to deal with them. The Guardian Council has not sent me here officially so to speak. I am here only to investigate whether this threat is real, and if it is only to help the Clowmistress to deal with it and not to get directly involved. I think I blew that on though."
"Why wouldn't the Council not want to get involved, I mean they were the ones watching over the portals to the limbo where they were all trapped." Eriol stated.
"Because they Guardians protecting the portal defected to the side of evil. If it were ever to leak out that some Guardians had left the Force, there would be an uproar in the magical community, probably demanding a test of the loyalty of every Guardian immediately. This would undoubtedly hinder our abilities to protect the Earth and to deal with Mangkukulam properly. An investigation is under way, but in the meantime the Force can't launch any major campaign right now, it would just attract too much attention. I am here mainly of my own accord though, because Syaoran has been a good friend to me, almost like a brother, and seeing as he is in love with Sakura, I knew once he got wind of the evil he would do something. I saw it as a perfect opportunity to protect both my best friend and the Clowmistress, I couldn't let the Council send someone else to do it."
"The Council considered sending someone else, but you're the best!!" Eriol exclaimed
"They wanted to send me, but they thought I would be too emotionally attached to be able to keep my head straight. I finally convinced them in the end though."
Ryo saw Meilin walk out of the room, and raised an eyebrow curiously.
"Who is this guy that has been attacking Sakura?" Yamazaki asked
"Eriol will explain." He said as he got up, nodding to Eriol, who instantly understood.
"Well, Mangkukulam was." Eriol launched into the lengthy explanation of Mangkukulam, the Great War, and all the other details, while Ryo followed his beloved into the garden.
~*****~
"MEILIN!! Meilin wait up!!"
Meilin just kept on walking, ignoring Ryo's calls. He caught up to her and grabbed her arm, but she just jerked away from his grip and ran. Ryo ran after her and grabbed her again, this time holding on tight enough so she couldn't escape.
"Meilin tell me what's wrong" Ryo said, his voice full of concern
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"I was ordered not to Meilin"
"Not then, but when we first met!! Five years ago!!"
"It just wasn't relevant at the time." He said, looking down into her eyes.
"Maybe not then, but how about when we started going out??"
"I just couldn't Meilin, I'm supposed to keep it a secret"
"Even from me?? The on you're supposed to love?"
He loosened his grip on her and she again jerked away, stomping off. She stopped at a cliff, looking down at the beautiful forest. Ryo crept up next to her, unnoticed.
"But I do love you Meilin, I love you with all my heart."
Meilin was unresponsive.
"I'm sorry I never told you, I really am, but I couldn't tell you."
"Why not?" she whispered
"The council would have erased your entire memory of me, and probably mine too, I just couldn't stand not to be able to see you, even if only in my thoughts and dreams."
It took Meilin a couple moments to take on the full meaning of what he just said. She looked into his light blue eyes looking for any sign of deceit or lie, but his eyes showed nothing but love and sincerity. She knew he was telling her nothing but the absolute truth. She gave him a small smile, which grew when he drew her into a passionate kiss.
"I'm sorry about the way I reacted Ryo, I guess I'm just a little scared about all this, Syaoran being hurt, an evil guy hunting down Sakura."
"It's okay Meilin, I should've told you when I arrived in Japan, out of reach from the Council. Don't worry Meilin, we'll figure this out, I promise to do my best to protect and prepare all of you for what is coming."
Meilin looked up and smiled, then giving him another kiss. Ryo drew her close to him. Both peered up at the stars, as if trying to read the near future.
WELL?????? SHOULD I HAVE PROVIDED MORE OF RYO'S HISTORY?? DON'T WORRY, IF YOU WERE DISSAPOINTED MORE OF HIS BACKGROUND IS GOING TO BE REVEALED IN LATER CHAPTERS!!!! ANYWAYS.Did Ryo's potion work?

"The council would have erased your entire memory of me, and probably mine too, I just couldn't stand not to be able to see you, even if only in my thoughts and dreams."
It took Meilin a couple moments to take on the full meaning of what he just said. She looked into his light blue eyes looking for any sign of deceit or lie, but his eyes showed nothing but love and sincerity. She knew he was telling her nothing but the absolute truth. She gave him a small smile, which grew when he drew her into a passionate kiss.
"I'm sorry about the way I reacted Ryo, I guess I'm just a little scared about all this, Syaoran being hurt, an evil guy hunting down Sakura."
"It's okay Meilin, I should've told you when I arrived in Japan, out of reach from the Council. Don't worry Meilin, we'll figure this out, I promise to do my best to protect and prepare all of you for what is coming."
Meilin looked up and smiled, then giving him another kiss. Ryo drew her close to him. Both peered up at the stars, as if trying to read the near future.
