Chapter 4: An explaintion

Mona qiuckly looking around for anything to use as a weapon, her pocket knife wasn't to do her any good. But she didn't have anytime to look before Scar struck, Mona ducked reflexivly and jumped back from the slash of the Warlord's no dactic getting out of the way. But she was unperpared for the second swipe that caught her in the right arm. Mona bit down a cry of pain as she stumbled backwards putting a hand over the wound to slow the bleeding.

"Now, you are coming with me." Scar garbbed for her but Mona suddenly dorpped to the ground in a low kick and bounced back up before Scar even hit the ground. "No way scum." She hissed but suddenly soldiers appered, surronding her in a semi circle, with the wall to her back, soldiers and Scar to her fornt Mona was trapped.

What I wouldn't give for one of those dagger sensi train me with. She thought to herself. "I'll give you a last chance girl, come willingly." Scar said knowing Mona had no where to run. Maybe I should just give up while I'm ahead. She thought to herself looking at the Warlord, she couldn't see his face due to his helemet but she could see his eyes, they was black and held no mercy, only haterd and blankness like he had no soul.

That is my fate if I join him. She thought to herself. "I will not give up, I will stay loyal to the side I stand on even if it kills me!" She shouted, suddenly she felt a warmth in her pocket where the orb was and on her frohead as the kanji of loyalty shone. Mona wasn't sure who was more surprised her or the armor warrior.

But suddenly ...... "Black Lighting Slash!" Suddenly a blast of black lighting struck the ground near Mona and Scar as eight more armor warriors appered on the scene. Oh no, there is more of them?! She thought to herself but suddenly the eight other warriors attacked the soldiers!

What the? Mona asked herself. "Ronin scum!" Scar snarled as the battle went on. One of the new warriors who was wearing red armor looked over at her. "Move back!" he yelled to her and she did as order. The red armored warrior drew his kanatas putting the ends together to form a double blade.

"Flare Up Now!" All Mona saw was a blast of fire before she turned her head side ways from the heat, the attack destorying what was left of the soldiers. "You can't protect the warrior of Spring forever Ronins!" Scar shouted as he disappered.

After the battle not a word was spoken, it was so qiuet you could hear a pin down. Seckmeht removed his helemet and looked up at fifteen year old teenager who was on the other side of the battle field. It came to Mona that she had not thought about running during the battle but right now it sounded like a very, very good idea. Before anything could be said or done she bolted!

"Wait!" One of the armored warriors called but she ingored him, when she was sure she was out of sight Mona jumped into a tree she climbed up qiuckly thankfully for all those years she spent climbing trees back in America. Mona held her breath as the armor warriors ran under her. "Now where did he go?" One asked.

He? Mona asked herself. Oh, I frogot, I look kind of like a boy in this shirt and when have my hair pinned up like this. She thought, one in armor that looked like a spider looked around carefully. "Slipt up and look for him. Meet back here." He said the other warriors agreed and they went in different directions.

Five mintues after they left and she looked around carefully Mona jumped out of the tree landing on her feet. "That was way too close." She said in a whisper as she turned to go but suddenly three of the armored warriors was right in fonrt of her!

Mona jumped back but she wasn't fast enough to get away, one with green hair and black eyes garbed her by the back of the collar as she turned to run. Mona didn't give them a chance to say anything, she fought like a wildcat trying to get away from them.

"Whoa! Kid calm down." Seckmeht ordered trying to hold on to the sturggling teen after nearly getting hit. Mona didn't listen, andreline and panic clouded her good sense, she manage to get one of her arms free and socked the one holding her in the face. Out of surprise and pain Seckmeht let her loose luckly Dais caught her.

Knowing that the teen was not going to listen Dais tied her wrists up behind her back, that was when the Mona stopped fighting seeing she wasn't getting away and a blank look came over her face. "Now hold still." Dais said to the teen as thourgh the armor link Sage called to his friends.

Pretty soon all Ronins was there, Ryo looked at the teen who was standing still but was studying him and the others. "Turn him loose. He can't run." He said to Dais, Dais cut the ropes binding the teen's hand behind his back. "Don't try running boy. You won't make ten feet." He wraned, the teen graled at him.

"For your information I'm not a boy." The teen hissed pulling the cap off 'his' head, mid back lenght hair fell down as pale blue eyes laughed at the expression on the armor warriors faces. "You're a girl?!" Kento asked in surprise. "What never seen a girl before?" The girl asked him in a mocking tone. She then looked at the warriors. "Now I got a question for you: who are you and why in the world did that person in armor attack me?" She asked keeping her voice calm, just bearly though.

"It's a long story." One with blue hair and a Brookleyn accent said. "I got the time." Mona repiled. "Alright. You see it started about a thousand years ago ...." It took some time to explian to Mona the legend of the Ronin Warriors, the Dynasty Wars and what was going on now. Mona listened without interruption, she leaned aganist a tree thinking it over.

"This sound carzy you know that don't you?" She asked. "We know but you already met Scar. What do you think?" Ryo asked, Mona reached into her pocket and remove the kanji orb, it started glowing causing her to nearly dorp it out of surprise.

"Careful." Cye warned as she recaught it, Mona looked around the group but stopped on the three Seasonals. She looked at the kanji orb in her hands thinking over what she been told and the battle.

"I can't." She said shaking her head. "I'm no warrior, I'm not even a fighter. I can not be the one to bear the armor." She said putting it in Cale's hand then putting her hands back in her pockets she qiuckly walked away.
