Chapter 6: Attack!
The handsome dark haired man stood at the end of the driveway leading to Mia's house. A cheerful smile played across his lips as he looked up toward the residence. Iveinstrand will be most pleased when I bring him the heads of the Diamond Quadrille, he thought as he began to climb the hill. Maybe I'll even get a promotion?
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Lorelai, Phoebe, Jade, and Celesta sat on the back porch, sipping tea and just chatting.
"So, girls, when do you think we're going to be able to get some training in?" Phoebe asked, sipping slowly.
"What?" Jade teased. "Not enough quality time with Sage? Where did you disappear to all day yesterday, anyway?"
Phoebe blushed furiously. "He was teaching me kendo, moron! Besides, I could ask you the same thing about Kento."
"Ahh, well, he was teaching me how to fight better with my fists. Oh," she added as an afterthought, "we made out for an hour too."
Celesta and Lorelai began to choke on their tea, as Phoebe stared at Jade with a horrified look.
"WHAT!?!"
Jade laughed. "Just kidding. Pheebs!"
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
On the front porch, the guys were having a similar conversation, except that they were drinking coffee.
"Hey, Ro. Talked to Lorelai yet?" Ryo asked from his seat on the swing. Mia sat beside him, leaning on his shoulder. Rowen sighed, looking at their entwined hands. Must be nice.
"Yo? Wooo Hooo? Earth to space man! Come in, Space MAN!!" Kento yelled, knocking on Rowen's head.
"Back off!"
"Ooooooohhhh, touchy, aren't we?" Cye said jokingly.
"Gotta be the hormones." Sage added.
"Hey, it wasn't me mumbling about Phoebe in my sleep, man." Rowen shot back.
"I shut up now." Sage muttered into his mug.
"Well," Ryo said, "If you haven't said anything, how 'bout you wait till my birthday party Friday? We're going to that teen dance club downtown."
Rowen nodded. "Good idea."
A very cold wind blew over the porch. Mia shivered as Ryo pulled her closer.
Sage narrowed his eyes, as a suited man appeared down the driveway.
"Evil coming."
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Celesta snapped her head up. "Feel that?!"
Lorelai jumped from her seat. "Get ready girls.we got a fight coming!"
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
"Can we help you?" Ryo asked the man.
The man smiled, showing very even, very WHITE teeth. That alone was enough to creep Cye out. But what made it even worse was the smell of evil. The man reeked of it.
"Rowen.get ready." He whispered to his friend.
"Gotcha."
"Well," the man began, "I was wondering if you folks would be interested in life insurance." The cold wind blew harder.
"No thanks man." Ryo replied shortly.
The handsome man shrugged. "Oh, well." Instantly, the suit he was wearing transformed into a shiny armor, like the carapace of a beetle. In his hand shone a black, shining weapon, curved like a pincer. The stench grew stronger.
"I guess I'll have to show you the value of it."
From the man's briefcase burst a horde of giant insects. Like wasps, they flew at the Ronins, their long stingers dripping with venom.
However, the Ronins called their subarmor.
Ryo cried out. "Ronin Warriors TO ARMS!"
"Armor of Halo, DAO CHI!"
"Armor of Hardrock, DAO GI!"
"Armor of Torrent, DAO SHIN!"
"Armor of Strata, DAO INOCHI!"
"Armor of Wildfire, DAO JIN!"
In a brilliant flash of light, there stood the Ronin Warriors in full armor. The bugman was taken aback. There had been no mention of the Ronin Warriors here?!
"Well it seems I'll have to remove you first." He said, as his insects swarmed over the Ronins. They vanished beneath the cloud of bugs. Suddenly, a bright light broke through.
"Arrow Shock Wave!"
"Super Wave Smasher!"
Half of the swarm disintegrated on the spot from the force of Strata and Torrent's attack. No matter, the bugman thought, as a fresh cloud emerged from the case. Plenty more here that came from.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Kento smashed a bug with his bo, only to have twenty more fall upon him.
"Damn! I knew insurance people were sleazy." He choked out. The bugs were suffocating him! Just when he thought he'd pass out, a clear voice called out.
"Black Chronoblade!"
The bugs ere stripped off of him in a flash of gray light, and a black figure landed before him.
"Cheap shot, Bugeyes!" It yelled.
Kento blinked. The figure was in slim black armor, armed with a kasuri- gama. Though he couldn't see its face, he could tell it was a girl. No guy had legs like that!
"Hey! Who are you?"
"Delphae. Get up, tubby. The game's just starting."
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Sage, Cye and Rowen fought not too far away. No matter how hard they fought, the bugs just kept pouring from the case. The man had long since made his retreat, no doubt to make his report. The Swarm grew thicker. Then a violet flash followed quickly by a yellow one.
"Dark Blade Crush!"
"Star Dragon Slash!"
A pair of figures landed in front of them as the insects crumbled to dust. One was garbed in shining violet armor, and carried a double bladed staff. The other, clad in brilliant golden yellow armor carried a long, thin bladed sword.
"What the hell?!" Sage cried, taken aback. "Women!?"
"Surprise!" The one in violet laughed happily. "Darkmoon at your service!"
"And Goldstar as well!" The yellow one cried.
"GUYS!" Ryo called, fighting off bugs with his twin katanas not too far away. "GET THE CASE!"
"On it!" Rowen said as he nocked an arrow into his golden bow. He pulled back and let fly, but the bugs created a shield around the case! The arrow crashed into he bugs, dissolving them. Rowen was nocking another arrow when a voice spoke.
"I'll take care of it."
A brilliant white armored figure stepped out from behind a large tree. In her hand was coiled a long, thin chain. The sun glinted off its razor sharp edges, even from a distance. She began to spin the chain above her head.
"Chainlight Strike!"
The chain exploded into light as it soared toward the case. There was a deafening explosion as it impacted, sending the Ronins to the ground, covering their eyes from the bright light. When the glare dissipated, the four females were gone.
Mia ran out of the house. "What happened?! Who were they?"
Ryo pulled Mia into his armored arms. "Dunno."
"A new enemy." Kento sighed. "I thought we got away from this."
"Yeah. But we have new allies as well." Rowen said, pointing to the ground.
In the dirt was written AMARANTH.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Lorelai slumped to the ground. "Whew! That was tiring."
Celesta smiled as her solid yellow sub-armor vanished, leaving her in her clothes. "The only tiring part was getting into the woods."
Phoebe sighed. "No kidding."
"Hey, Lore.how's we shack up with the Ronin Warriors?" Jade asked.
"Must've been in the stars."
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Next: What happened after.
