                                                                                         ~Luke Kikuichimonji, Wind Samurai ~

Walking among the worn streets of the ancient city of Lemuria, a man who looked about 24 but was really many many many years older, he saw a dying plant. Walking up to it, the blue-haired man whispered "Douse". First the plants color began to return, then it stood upright, as alive as it had ever been.

Suddenly, another blue-haired man ran past him, nearly crashing into him. "What is the matter, and why is there a big commotion?" Picard asked the man. "There *gasp* is a visitor at the docks, a mop-haired blond boy, short if you ask me, a brown-haired boy with a katana sheathed around the waste, and a black haired  boy with throwing stars in his pouches" he said, gasping for air. "Well, none of them sound familiar, except….no, it couldn't….I-Ivan?" Picard said, sheathing his Levatine sword.

As he approached the docks, he noticed that it was indeed Ivan, but who were the other two people? Ivan walked up to Picard, the other two hanging back. "hello" Picard greeted. "What brings you back here". He stopped smiling when he saw Ivan's grim face. "I do not bring good news, I'm afraid". Picard frowned "What happened, and why aren't you with Felix and the others? Ivan's face, if possible grew grimmer.

"I'm going to get straight to the point, as of not to waste anymore time which we are running out of as we speak, Felix, Jenna, Mia, and Sheba are dead, Vale II has been destroyed, Alex survived the destruction of Mt. Aleph, his new powers from the golden sun proved too great for Vale II. I have seen it that Isaac and Garet have been taken hostage by Alex, who wants revenge among other things…… we're gathering adepts to go rescue Isaac and Garet, possibly defeating Alex." The young Samurai butted in. He waited for all this to sink in, when he said in a quieter tone "I'm sorry I had to be so frank, but we really do not have much time. Isaac and Garet's lives are at stake…" Picard turned to the boy "Who are you?" The young samurai replied "I…will introduce myself fully later, right now we must leave as soon as possible, are you ready to go?" Picard thought for a second. "Yes, I'm ready" The black haired boy spoke up "Uh, I know this is kind of weird, but can we take one of your boats, because he teleported here and we flew….." Picard promptly facefaulted

                                                                                                            3 hours later   

"Alright, now that we have all rested, I think it's time for you both to explain yourselves" Ivan said, finding out that it was pointless to read their minds, they were trained in defending against that. They were all sitting in Koran's room at the inn on the Apojji Islands. Luke stood up "I guess I shall go first then, my name is Luke Kikuichimonji, yes Ivan, the very same as the sword once used, in fact, 3 years ago I crafted the sword, an amateur piece of craftsmanship, but I had only been 8 at the time. I am the 3'rd descendant of Asura Kikuichimonji, the legendary Wind Samurai. I come from the clan of Wind Samurai', yes, I know that you have traveled the world and have never heard of the wind Samurai, The reason being that it existed in among the clouds." Pausing to let that sink in. "Wow….you call the Kikuichimonji blade an amateur's creation?" Ivan said in disbelief. Luke smiled "The one trait that we Wind Samurai possessed that no one else did was the ability to channel one's energy so that they could fly." He ran his hands through his hair "My reasons for joining this quest…. Well…" he glanced at the floor. I'm going to broadcast them through my mind." He clasped Ivan's left hand, while Picard and Koran grabbed his right. They all sat there, motionless for a few minutes, when suddenly there was a scream downstairs….
