Chapter Two
'How is it that I'm always the one to draw Mow the lawn' Ryo thought as he picked himself up off the ground and resumed trying to finish the lawn. He was finally about to call it quits when a small amount of movement caught his eye. As he took a closer look, he could just make out the form of a man wearing silver and onyx armor standing in the trees. He blinked and looked again to find that the person was gone. Without another moments though, the bearer of Wildfire took off into the woods, following the strange feeling he had in his stomach, until he reached a small clearing. In the center stood the man that he had seen in the trees. Ryo quietly walked up behind the man and placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Umm...excuse me?"
"Tsk, Tsk, Wildfire. Letting your guard down so easily will cost you dearly." The ebony haired man snapped his fingers and before he could react, Ryo was bound by the wrists and ankles by thick ropes that had appeared out of nowhere. The man finally turned around, flashing his blood red eyes on his prey, and laughed manically.
"Now that was far to easy. I thought catching a Ronin would be much more difficult." He snapped his fingers again, sending crackling, black energy through the ropes and into his victim's body. Ryo bit his lip until it bled to keep from letting the screams of agony escape his throat.
The man's eyes narrowed with rage as he barked, "ENOUGH!"
The energy stopped and the young man hung limply from his bonds. He desperately tried to the black void growing at the edge of his mind as his attacker withdrew a sharp dagger from within his armor and slowly advanced upon the captured teen. Ryo flinched slightly as the man released his right arm and unfurled the fist his hand had clenched itself into. He took the dagger and made a long vertical slash in his own hand.
"My blood."
He again took up the dagger and pressed the sharp bladed agenst the palm of Ryo's right hand, creating an identical gash.
"Your blood." The young man screamed in terror and pain as his assailant his injured hand in his, cuts lining up perfectly, as he said the last line of the spell.
"Our blood."
A blinding light ignited from their hands as Ryo was hurled backward into a large oak tree. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
The four remaining Ronins gritted their teeth as another wave of agony
passed from their leader to them. Clad in their sub armors, they quickly
followed after White Blaze, who had finally picked up his master's scent.
They had almost given up hope of finding their friend, when they reached
a small clearing, just in time to see Ryo being flung into a tree by a
man in silver and onyx armor. He slid down the trunk's rough surface and
fell to the ground, not moving. His friends let out a cry of rage, for
they had seen enough.
"ARMOR OF HALO! TAO CHI!"
"ARMOR OF STRATA! TAO INNOCHI!"
"ARMOR OF HARDROCK! TAO GI!"
"ARMOR OF TORRENT! TAO SHIN!"
In a whirl of silk banners and sakura blossoms, each of the young
men's sub armors had been transformed into their powerful next stage.
Rowen strung an arrow from his never-ending supply in his bow, took
careful aim, and released it. The arrow left a gleaming trail behind it
as it streamed toward the ebony haired man. His eyes widened with shock
as he swiftly shot to the side with the arrow getting close enough to
barely graze his left cheek. The look of shock on his face was quickly
replaced with an evil grin as he wiped away the black colored blood that
seeped from the wound and in a cloud of smoke disappeared. His voice
suddenly echoed through out the clearing as a small blue orb appeared and
fell toward the unsuspecting Ronins.
"Hope you enjoy my present Ronins, it's a real blast."
Ryo, who had finally gotten to his feet, sprinted toward his friends
as he yelled, "NO! GET OUTTA THERE NOW!" The bearer of Wildfire jumped
high into the air, grabbed the sphere, and hit the ground running. The
ball began to glow a brilliant white when it suddenly flew out of Ryo's
hands, rose a few feet above his head, and detonated. The force from the
explosion flung the teen several feet away where he hit the ground on his
right side with a sickening thud and was knocked unconscious.
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
Back in the throne room, the giant panther was snoozing lightly,
when his master suddenly appeared in the middle of the room where he fell
to his knees, clutching his right arm.
"That fool, he almost ruined everything." The large cat padded
over to the man and helped him into a nearby chair. "Good thing I sent
the orb away from him before it exploded."
The panther shook its head, and in a deep voice growled, "Master
Martis from what I have observed, I truly think that this wasn't a wise
decision."
" That maybe," he said as he paused to watch the image of the
unconscious Ryo being carried home by his friends. "But think of all the
fun I'm going to have with them."
Hey all sry it took me so long to update. School started and I
have learned that I have a psyco b*tch from hell for a Spanish teacher.
I'll try as much as I can to get the next chappie out soon so bear with
me if it does end up taking awhile. REMEMBER: THE REVIEW BUTTON IS YOUR
FRIEND!
