A/N: Ah, it's good to be feeling better. Yes, I've been sick. I'm better now, though. Thank you new reviewers! I love new reviewers! I also love old reviewers too! Shadow wants to talk to you people, by the way.
Shadow: You bet I do. You had better like this chapter. It took a long time and it is still short.
Me: Oh boy. I hope you do like the chapter. Now to reply to my reviewers. THANK YOU!!!
Silent Angel: I love your story. Thanks for reading mine! I know it was squished. *sob* Oh well. I'll try to do better next time.
Kathleen: Hey again! Uhh, are you OK? You're like, scaring me. *sigh* I know, I know. Speakers get a paragraph to themselves. Like I told Silent, I'll try to do better this time. It's hard writing! Especially since I don't get to write a lot… Shadow: Pity party. All are invited. Me: Shut the hell up, Shadow. *Shadow disappears* Me: O.O How did he do that? Ah well. Have fun flying on a hairbrush. ^_-
Quantum: Wah Chapter 3 was the worst written. *starts crying and room quickly becomes flooded* Shadow: *who suddenly reappears* Stop crying! *looks alarmed* You're going to flood the whole house! Me: *sniffle* S-sorry. Shadow: That's better. I'll take it from here while you go collect yourself. Me: Okay. *walks away* Shadow: OK. Well, to all those who thought that Chapter 3 was squished, check it out. Maybe it isn't as squished as before, I hope. Quantum, thanks for R&R
Fluffy-chan: Me: Hey girl! Shadow: Go away. Me: *sniffs* Fine! Be that way! Shadow: Well, Chapter 3 revealed more about the Massacre and the Tamers' past. Was that what you were confused about? Oh, Takato and Juri also got into a fight. Thanks for R&R
Reaper: Me: haha Shadow: Beat it, Dark. Me: *scowls and walks away* Shadow: I am NOT weird, thank you very much. You're lucky I'm in a not so bad mood right now. However, I am pissed off and no matter what you say, I'm still offended. Therefore, *dumps honey and feathers over you* There. That should do it. Thank you for R&R
Mel: You did? I don't recall you then, sorry. Well, if you want to be put in my story, you'll need to give me info about yourself. Yeah, e-mail me about yourself and I'll see if I can't arrange it, okay? Thanks!
Now, on with the story.
Henry's POV~
I took a deep breath and begun. This was the perfect time as all my friends are gathered together. I just hope the prophecy will come true… No matter. I'll worry about that later.
//I am so nervous! I hope I can do this alright. \\
"You are here because of the Evils. Contrary to popular belief, the Tyrant is not dead. Well, not exactly. He had a son, and the son still lives." I held up his hands to shush my friends as all of them opened their mouths to say something, "The Tyrant's spirit lives on through his son, and his son is also Evil, like his father, so therefore, they must be destroyed. Each of you have an unique ability, that was given to you since the day you were born. Now, you will need to learn to master and improve these abilities in order to fight in the Final Battle.
"Ruki, you are a Water/Ice witch. You need to improve your Ice abilities and master your Water abilities. Your 'Hydro Spear' and 'Ice Crystals' can be taken up several levels. You need to improve the rest of your abilities especially 'Rain storm' and 'Freeze over'. Don't forget to train harder and discover the rest of your abilities. You have about two abilities left to go and they happen to be your most valuable abilities in ice and water.
"Juri, you are an Earth/Healing faerie. Most of your abilities you have mastered. However, you do need to work on Healing. You can speed up Healing yourself and others, so you need to work on that. For your Earth abilities, you need discover your most valuable ability. You also need to be able to have control of every single plant within your maximum range of 100 miles and be able to keep them in control for years if the need comes.
"Kenta, you are a Wood/Stone mountain fey. No offense, but out of all of us, you'll need to work the hardest in order to approach Master level. However, your 'Wood Strike' and 'Wooden Arrow' are at Master level already. Your other two abilities you need to improve are the Stone based attacks because they are the only things keeping you from becoming at Master level. Yes, I know those are particularly hard attacks, but I know you can do them
"Kazu, you are an Ore/Metal dwarf. Since your attacks are simple to Master, you already have all but one ability to Master. That ability is 'Opaque Ore'. Wait a minute, you don't even have that ability yet. Uh, you'll need to acquire that ability through training like the others. Otherwise, you're pretty much set.
"Takato, you are a Fire/Ice dragon. Since you are a dragon, all of your abilities are at Master level but you are one step away from Master level. You need to work on your flying. If I recall correctly, last time you decided to give me a ride, I ended up having to save both of us before we broke our necks.
"Ryo, you are a Wind/Lightning warlock. You, out of all of us, are the only one who is at Master level. Therefore, you don't need to do anything.
"That's about it. Now is the time for questions. By the way, do I happen to sound like a teacher?"
Nobody moved. They all just stared at me with their mouths opening and closing like a fish. I sighed. This was not good.
//I hope they start talking soon, or else I'll be in a very difficult and uncomfortable position. Who knew that being stared at like the way they are staring at me right now could be so unsettling? \\
I smiled wryly and looked at my friends once more. They were in the same position. I was beginning to feel that they had not understood a thing I had said.
"Uh, guys? Hello? Are you still in there?" I asked, nervously. Takato gave a start and shook his head.
"How do you know all of this?" Takato asked, frowning.
"I just do. I knew since after the Massacre occurred." I replied, face completely void of emotion.
"SorRY! I was just wondering. Why didn't you mention this before?" Takato asked frustrated. The others were finally coming back to reality.
"I wanted to wait until all of you were here. Kenta, Kazu, Juri, and you had found each other soon after the Massacre, right? Some loving and caring human mothers picked up Ruki and Ryo. I was, well never mind that. Frankly, I didn't want to repeat myself three times. Once to you guys, another to Ruki, and finally, one last time to Ryo. Also, once we were together, we could start training together and hopefully improve faster. I told you what you guys needed to improve on and I already know what I need to improve on. Therefore, we can all be ready when Evil starts attacking."
"Oh."
"Where do we train then?" Ruki asked snapping back into attention. I almost laughed. That was completely like her, snapping back into attention like a soldier.
"Actually, I haven't figured that out yet. I was hoping one of you would know of a good place to stay." I replied, embarrassed. Ruki rolled her eyes while Kazu snickered.
Ryo's POV~
Henry, clueless?! That was a first. OK, so Henry isn't totally clueless. However, if he's been around the city so many times, you'd expect him to know about one private and secluded training spot for us.
"I hope you know of some place where we can train." Henry was agitated. He was extremely agitated. An agitated Henry is someone you do not want to deal with. Even if he's younger than you. I shuddered, thinking about the last time we continued to tease Henry while he was agitated. It was a very horrible experience.
"I know of a place." Henry rose his eyebrow at Ruki, "It's been deserted for years. The place I'm talking about is in the park. In fact, it's in the center of the park. Nobody goes there anymore since it's considered as a dangerous place to be. How about it? Do you want to go check this place out?"
"Thank you Ruki. Yes, we will check this place out. Come on, guys." Henry turned around and walked towards the exit of the warehouse. The rest of us followed, Ruki pulling ahead of us to lead us to our new training center.
I'M SO SORRY THAT THIS CHAPTER IS VERY SHORT! I hope I haven't disappointed any of you… I just happened to be at a loss for ideas on this chapter. I promise the next chapter will be better and longer. I'll also try to update sooner, although the next chapter will be posted sometime next week as I haven't started writing it yet. Still, please read and review!
