I do not own these characters; they belong to their respective owners. Keeren belongs to me and Missy and Teri belong to Missy and Teri.
This is a re-written version of the original version I wrote in the summer of 2002, it sucked royal ass, so I'm re-writing it! Enjoy!

Chapter 8
Renee surveyed the group of people standing around, most taller then her. She raised her head to look over the shoulders to quickly find herself in the center with her friends.
"Do we really need all of them to come?" Renee said, a whine in her voice.
"What? It's only 6 extra people." Keeren replied. "We need all the help we can get."
"Yeah, we don't want anyone dead this time, like last time." Melissa added.
"Well, I wasn't here last time, so fill me in." Renee folded her arms and looked up at the taller woman.
"Basically, not even GT could beat Ryuu-Omoi. And he's a super Saiya-jin." Melissa put it simply. Renee turned to see GT adjusting the thick bandana around his neck. He didn't look that strong, but she was never really that enthralled with Dragon Ball Z/GT. She just learned what the species were from her friends.
"And if Ryu-Oki has the power to possess while still being as strong as she was before," Melissa continued. "Then we're in deep shit."
Renee nodded lightly, rolling her eyes. She looked over to Teri, who was handing a small capsule to Chichiri. Chichiri nodded to Teri and walked away from the group, fingering the capsule.
"Okay, it's settled then." Teri announced, walking towards the group. "Chichiri, Chiriko, Tasuki, and Nuriko will be riding in the airship. Everyone else will have to use their own power to fly." After receiving nods from everyone, she continued. "Chichiri has the map with him on the airship and we'll follow him."
Moments later, the four Suzaku seishi were boarding the capsule airship and a few minutes later they were airborne. Those who flew went in pairs. Keeren and GT, Melissa and Renee, Teri and Mirai.
*********************
Mirai looked over to the side, still airborne. Teri flew along side him, a rigid look upon her face. She looked tense, she didn't even seem to try to relax in the wind.
"Hey." Mirai started, trying to get her attention. Teri looked over to him. "He'll be okay."
Teri nodded at his attempts to make her feel better, it didn't help all that much. Mirai frowned.
"Fighting out of pure rage will only get you killed." Mirai said with a demanding touch to his voice. "Relax, that's an order from your sensei, not your friend."
Teri nodded again, taking a deep breath and easing her tense muscles. "I'm sorry Mirai-chan, I'm just so worried and pissed off at the same time." She sighed. "I guess I do need to calm down huh?"
"Of course." Mirai replied.
*********************
Chichiri looked over his shoulder to the rear of the airship. Tasuki sat quite merrily and content as he gazed out the window to the frozen forests below. Chiriko sat at his side, hunched over his knees with a small paper bag in his hands. Poor Chiriko, Chichiri thought. Everyone knew the teen got motion sickness easily, but he so wanted to help out. So, this was the price to pay.
The monk looked to his side, seeing Nuriko stretched out in the co-pilots seat with her arms resting behind her head. Her eyes were closed and a calm look placed upon her face. How could she be so calm?
Sighing, Chichiri turned back to the mountains ahead of him, carefully clutching the control stick of the airship. He halfway wondered why Teri had put him in charge of piloting the iron bird. Perhaps it was that she trusted him much more than any of the other three seishi. Or possibly because he seemed the most likely to be able to control it. Whatever it was, he'd never know.
A faint beeping alerted the seishi that something was happening. He looked to the main control screen and studied it momentarily. There was a small red dot north of them on the map and they were growing closer to it. Chichiri pulled out an Alaskan map out of the glove compartment and looked at it, comparing it to the screen.
"We're coming up to Emerald Springs."
The others voiced their acceptance while a weary moan was heard from Chiriko. Chichiri nearly chuckled as he pulled open the side-window. Outside, Melissa and Renee flew close by, waiting for a signal.
"Hey!" Chichiri called, catching their attention. "Emerald Springs is about a mile ahead! Tell the others!"
The two women nodded and flew off in separate directions towards the others. Chichiri shut the window and ran a hand through his pale crest of hair.
"Don't worry Chiriko, we'll be landing soon, no da"
Chiriko looked up momentarily and faintly moaned 'kay' before hanging his head again.
*********************
The Saiya-elf landed quickly in the deep snow, the frozen water chilling her ankles. Teri immediately rushed towards the entrance. The quicker she got there, the sooner she could find him. A shrill scream was heard from above and caught her attention. She stopped and was tempted to look up but she found herself face first in the snow first.
"Hi Teri!" Melissa sang, sitting on her sister's back. Underneath her, the healer could feel Teri twitching. Teri pushed herself up from the ground enough so she wasn't breathing snow and glared at her sister over her shoulder.
"Why'd you do that?"
"Cuz I've been wanting to do that to you since I was four."
"...you DO know what's going to happen to you, right?"
".....no"
Teri growled and spun herself around underneath Melissa and quickly served her an uppercut to the jaw. Melissa rolled off Teri and moaned playfully in the snow, holding her jaw. Teri sat up, her body cold in the snow. If there was anything she hated worse than... whatever she hated most, it was snow, and cold.
Melissa sat up, squinting at the bright light bouncing off the snow. For miles and miles of land, it was like a clean canvas of white. She looked up and smiled as Renee, Keeren, Mirai and GT slowly descended towards the earth. Almost 50 yards about them she could see the airship preparing for a landing.
Keeren landed in the snow, stretching her arms above her head. With a sigh of relief, she spun around and fell backwards into the snow.
"Tired?" GT asked, leaning over her.
"Nope, I wanted to make a snow angel!"
With that, the Saiya-jin spanned her arms and legs out and moved them back and forth, creating a robed angel.
"And to make it perfect...." Keeren concentrated momentarily and she levitated her body upwards, careful not to mar the work of art. After drawing a quick circle above it's head, she plopped herself down in the snow next to her friends. The Airship landed just moments ago several meters away and Chiriko had already stumbled out. Behind him, Tasuki made a face as the small seishi had gone to the side of the ship and released his lunch.
"Say, it's getting rather late, and we're all pretty tired.... maybe we should take a nap before going any further to Ryu-Oki?" GT suggested.
Teri spoke up immediately "No, I want to-"
"-let's rest!" Melissa interrupted. "I don't think Chiriko'd be able to follow up that well." She laughed lightly, shooting a glance to the teen. Teri frowned, since when could she be over ruled so easily? She decided to start her case again.
"But I think we should-"
"I agree with Missy." Renee broke in. "Some of us may need to get up to full strength after all that flying."
Teri's frown turned to a burning glare.
"No, 'we' need to-"
"All right then! It's settled!" Keeren chipped in. Teri's mouth hung open in mid-sentance. Was she invisible?! "We'll rest in the cave and after than, THEN well go after Ryu-Oki."
Mindless chatter started as everyone began sorting through the entrance. Teri sat disgruntled in the snow. After a while, Chichiri walked up to her from putting away the airship and placed a hand on her shoulder.
"It's for the best, let's go inside." He smiled down to her. "It's cold out here, no da."
*********************
"Hehe, knock it off!"
"I dun wanna."
"Well what 'bout this?"
"Hehehehe, blaaaah"
::thwack!::
"Ow! What was that for?"
"You did it wrong! It's blaaaagg..."
Teri frowned, covering her pointed ears with her hands. Could those two be any louder? The icy cavern they were in was dark, a simulated night. They were trying to sleep, but Tasuki and Melissa decided to have a 'quiet' face making contest.
"Three points"
"Just three points?"
Teri growled, she stared at a small handful of ice resting in a niche in the wall. A slim grin grew against her lips. While the two pyros continued to ramble on, the Saiya-elf slid herself to a sitting posture against the wall. She quietly lifted the hunk of ice up and tested it's weight.
After splitting it in two, she gazed upon the chunks carefully, concentrating on them. She summoned her ice powers and made the chunks grow larger, until they were the size of large snow balls. Teri then called forth her fire powers and heated her hand up, melting the hunks slightly. Perfect.
"Nyaaahhh"
"Eww.... Okay, my turn"
"How th' hell can ya-"
Tasuki was stopped short when a large chunk of snow hit him in the back of the head. It was cold, wet, and dripping down his neck. Melissa growled and sat up, glaring at her sibling.
"Teri, know it the fuck off or I'l-" SPLAT!
Before she knew it, Melissa had a face full of slush. She shivered as it met her warm flesh and dribbled down her neck.
"Now shut the hell up before I get mad." Teri growled, laying back down.
The silence reigned for a few minute, before the quiet snickering of Keeren echoed.
"Shut up Keeren"
