Chapter 21: Call of Blizzard
As the two of us landed, followed quickly by the rest of the Ronins and Kayura, we were amazed at what the saw. Hundreds of Dynasty soldiers were capturing people, terrorizing others, and creating chaos and destruction all around. "People, it's time to armor up!" shouted Ryo, and everyone nodded in agreement. I was about to call on my armor but a scream of terror stopped me. " Kisha help them." I said to the wolf as she ran to help the people and then I armored up and ran head first into the battle.
Kisha and I quickly tore apart some of the soldiers before it could harm another person, while Harry went to work ripping soldiers up in a cold, methodical method that seemed to do little to sate the angry that was boiling inside of him. "The Dynasty came back here, HERE to the place that I called home! I will NEVER let them get a foothold here! I will see them crumble and wither before I allow them to use this city!" he silently swore, as he and Saber went to work on a squad of soldiers and I smashed into a soldier. "You made a big mistake you attacked MY home turf and I swear I will kill all of you before you hurt another person."
But as each squadron of soldiers were crushed, it seemed three more took their place. Finally, Harry reached his breaking point. "Serenea! Ryo! We need major firepower! Either we call in an airstrike or you try and summon those mega armors of yours! We're running out of options here!" he called out, Ryo qiuckly called Inferno but was about to tell Harry I didn't know how to summon Blizzard. Then I remembered. The bracelet! Ok Serenea focus. I thought and focused and then all of a sudden I felt a calm about me as I called for the power to use the armor.
Kanji traits shone in my mind: Virtue, Trust, Justice, Piety, Serenity, and all of the others came rushing toward me. Suddenly, my armor dissolved, and a violet-sliver armor took its place! Kisha appeared, wearing a matching armor, and carrying the Twin Blizzard Swords! I smiled as I laid a hand on her back but then turned serious sensing a presence, I looked at Ryo, he nodded his ok. " You asked for it, now you got it. Arco show yourself!" I commanded and some of the soldiers disappered and there stood Arco.
"So, Serenea, we meet for the first, and last battle together. Why don't you just surrender now, and save yourself the pounding that you received last time." he said in a mocking tone. " You and your brother are cowards Arco. We know this that why we been able to defeat your evil, time and time agian. We fight for what we know is right, you on the other hand are selfish I should have know that when I saved you years ago." I said calmly but I saw my friends shocked looks and Arco suprised look. "Yes, I was the one who saved you I was young and thought everyone had to have a seacond chance." I said grimly to Arco and the others shocked faces.
"You foolish mortal! I allowed you to save me! Now hand over that armor, and I might let you live!" he said, as he stepped forward. "Wrong. I'll never give you the armor. I once knew you as Jack and you know you have the abitly to become competley human. So I'm giving you the choice turn into Jack and become human or I'll destory you here and now, because I won't let you conquer the mortal world. The choice is yours." I said and waited for his answer, though I knew what it would be I didn't want to have to use Blizzard but I would if I needed to. Acro just smirked. "Soldiers and Warlords of the Dynasty, ATTACK!" was his response. The soldiers began to attack in groups and the Warlords began moving forward behind him. "You had your chance Acro," I said, as I drew the twin swords. " Now you die." I said in a soft, cold voice. Guys you take the warlords and soldiers. Ryo use Inferno if he too much I'll attack. He won't be expecting you to fight as well. And you more experince then I am. I called thourgh the armor link. "Gotcha Serenea. But what about you?" The Ronin Leader asked verbally. Before I answered, I looked over at a group of childern wacthing us scared stiff. " You kids better get out of here. Don't worry we get this guy." I turned to Ryo. "I'll fight some of the soldiers but if I must I'll fight Acro."
As the children left, a group of Dynasty soldier attacked them. I used the twin swords to slash them and destroy them. Ryo and I took one look at each other, and then at Arco. "Last chance Arco. Surrender, and you can leave in one peice. If you choose to fight, well . . . remember what happened to Talpa." said Ryo. Arco just smirked, and attacked! "RAGE OF INFERNO!!!" went the cry, as Ryo unleashed his mega armor's sure kill. The white flames hit Arco dead center, but it didn't vaporize him!
"What?!" Ryo asked. " No way!" Kento said seeing what happened. Arco laughed seeing the shock on the team's faces! "I knew you would call upon the power of Inferno Ryo, so I prepared myself! My armor cannot be destroyed by fire or heat! Those just make it stronger! Try this on for size." he yelled as he threw a orb of magic that blew everyone off of their feet!
"It's up to you now Serenea." said Ryo, as he passed out. Kaurya, Saber and I was the ones that manage to get back on our feet to fight against the power of Arco. Guys I need your power. I know your already drained but... I paused speaking thourgh our armor link not sure if I could ask them. Suddenly I felt power flowing to me, power from the element Ronin, power from the Seasonals, even power from Harry. "Ok, Arco. You wanted my armor, well, now it's time you tasted it's power." I called out, as I slowly stepped toward him, with Kisha at my side. Guys please hang on, I'll win even if it kills me. Death if you come for my friends I go in their places, let me blast this guy and if you come for the others I'll go in their place. I thought to my friends and to death itself as I raised my swords to attack.
"I call upon the power of the armor of the Blizzard! Ice Blizzard!" And with that, the twin swords lept from Kisha's side to my hands, releasing twin blasts of cold, snow and wind that drew all the heat out of Arco's armor. "NOOOOOO!" Arco yelled as the attack hit him and he disappered. I smiled as the others stood up but I went to my knees because I felt very light headed and suddenly drained as if I didn't even have the engery to breath. "We won!" Kento yelled we started to celabrate but then ....
"Serenea! Guys, she not breathing!" Mia yelled, she was standing beside me from where I collasped. Quickly, Ryo and Sage moved over to me, "Come on Serenea, breathe!" yelled Ryo, as Sage began mouth to mouth resucitation on me! "It won't work Halo." Came a soft voice from the first wearer of Icefire, Kima. "She too far gone. She made deal, if death came after all of you she take your place that and the power of Blizzard drained her greatly."
"NO!" Came the cry from Cye. "We can't loose her now!" he called out. " You won't have to." Came another voice a young man and girl beside Kima. " We both died as friends. She saved both our lifes, and we both returning the favor." Said the girl as she kneeled beside me.
"Time to come back to the land of living Serenea. Your promise is fullfilled, we are returning the favor." She said locking her hand, the young man's and mine for a moment but then let go and all three sprirts disappered and I starting breathing again. " Did we win?" Ryo's eyes watered with tears as he took my hands in his. "Yes, we won. Arco is gone, thanks to you, and your armor." I smiled then hissed slighty as I got up, I felt like I had been beat to an inch of my life.
"Easy there young lady. We nearly lost you there." said Harry, as he carefully helped me up. "What do you mean Harry?" I asked. "I think that I had better let Ryo and Sage explain that one." he said, as he saw a tired, but happy Lady Kayura waiting for him. I raised an eyebrow and lean agansit a wall as I stood. " Man I feel like I just died or something." I said but noticed the looks the others was giving me after hearing what I said. "Uh oh, what did I do now?" Sage and Ryo looked at each other, trying to decide who would answer my question. Finally, Ryo spoke. "Well, Serenea, in effect, you did die. We tried to revive you, but we couldn't. It seems as though you unwittingly made a pact that if we were to die, you would take our places and the power of Blizzard drained you greatly. So you died." Ryo said very quietly.
I remembered what I promised. "I promised that if death came for you guys I take your place willing. Because I knew I couldn't live if all of you died, I knew taking that little bit of engery after you being drained so much was going to kill you. So I died. Who brought me back?" I asked as I called off my armor. " We tried everything that we could to bring you back, but we couldn't. Finally a couple of friends of yours who died, offered to return a favor, so you could live." finished Sage." Who?" I asked my heart skipping a few beats while I guessed who they was. "Corin and the other one was your friend who died of the snakebite." answered Ryo, I paled instandly realizing who. "Corin and Kat." I said garbing the wall for support out of pure shock.
Harry nodded. "It makes sense Serenea. Who cared more for you than those two? You tried to save Kat's life, and Corin sacrificed his life to save yours. You couldn't have asked for better friends than those two." he said, as he took off his helmet. "Dynasty and the beginning of some new relationships, " said Harry, as he looked at me and Ryo, as well as thinking on the budding relationship between himself and Kayura. I nodded and froze hearing a famlair voice.
"Of course we would save you." Corin said Kat nodded from beside him. They was standing to my and the team's left and looked alive but I knew different. Kat looked over at me as if reading my thoughts. " I forgave you when I died. You see I knew all along you was destinted for more, it was the way trouble was alway finding you and you was like a little sister to me, so I took the snake bite." She said, I smiled. "And I'm gald she lived. Thank you for saving her twice." Ryo said to Kat and Corin, they nodded and I felt something brush my mind.
Serenea I hope you and Ryo will be happy. I heard what you said at my grave and I know you both will make a good couple. But you must be careful, I sense there may be trouble ahead. Corin said to me, I figured I was the only one who heard him. "We have to go, goodbye." They both said and disappered. I smiled and let out a tried sigh, I could hardly believe I been a Ronin for four months and now we won, finally. "Guys, lets go home." I said to the others, we all nodded and returned to the temple to pack and go back to Mia's.
