Chapter 8~Mysterious person's POV

Hiss

"Your Evilness, I have located the 8 Mystic ones," whispered a thing shrouded in shadows.

//I can smell and taste the fear and evil coming off of this young one. \\

Thought an even darker and scarier thing that was shrouded in evil, darkness, and hatred. His red eyes gleamed in the darkness that covered every inch of the dark room except for the one source of light; a fire made with red flames whose shadows danced and flickered off the walls. Instead of radiating heat, the fire, like Evil one shrouded in complete darkness, it gave off a cold and chilling feel.

"Good job. Where isss thisss hideout?" the Evil one hissed, like a snake [1].

"It is the abandoned old warehouse near the outskirts of Shinjuku [2], your Evilness," replied the dark scout promptly.

"Good. We will wait for them to come to usss."

"Very good, your Evilness."

"Go now."

The dark scout bowed on his way out. Once again left in the darkness, cold, and gloom of his chambers, the Evil one smiled evilly to himself.

"Ssoon, Henry, you will be mine. Forever!"

Cold, evil, and dark laughter could be heard throughout the whole of the Evils castle and throughout Shinjuku. Those who were awake shivered at the sound and felt that a horrible doom would be upon them soon.

Meanwhile…

Shinjuku Park~ Takato's and Kazu's battle Nobody's POV

"HIYAH!!!" yelled Kazu, hitting Takato with a metal stick that had bits of Ore sticking out of it. Takato easily avoided the attack and attacked Kazu with his own attack.

"Fire TORNADO!" Takato yelled. At once, a huge cylinder of fire appeared and started spinning, as if it were out of control. Kazu paled but remained firm and immediately called up a shield. The fire, upon coming in contact with the ore shield Kazu had created, disappeared, leaving charred ground in its wake.

"Phew…" Kazu wiped his sweaty brow with one hand.

//Damn. When Takato fights, he fights! Got to get this over with as quick as possible if I don't want to end up as a barbecued Kazu! \\

"Opaque Ore! Metal Sword!" Kazu shouted, a fine edged blade appearing in one hand glowing with an opaque color.

"Combining our attacks, are we? That won't help you at all! Fire Shield, Ice Wind, and FireIce STORM!" Takato yelled, bringing his hands together. A shield made entirely of Fire suddenly appeared around him while an ice-cold breeze started, giving the FireIce storm more power, strength, and speed.

"OpaqueOre and MetalStone Barrage!"

With a resounding BOOM, the two powerful attacks hit each other dead on and everybody was engulfed in a bright white light. (A/N: Bright white light. It RHYMES! Go me! *does happy dance and is hit on the head with a now freed Shadow* Hey! Whaddya do that for? Shadow: Duh. For tying me up in a chair while you were chatting with your friend. Hey! I'll get you for that! Now, back to the fic.) When everybody could see again, all they saw was a big cloud of smoke. Coughing, Rika created a gentle rainstorm to clear the smoke away faster and to put out any possible fires.

//Thank God Henry enchanted this place so nobody could come, hear, or see us training. If he didn't, we'd be in trouble. \\ Rika thought savagely.

"Woah…That was unexpected, eh?" Kazu said, still slightly shocked that they were able to create such strong attacks. Takato merely nodded in reply, his wings stretching out to there full extension. Apparently, somewhere during the explosion, Takato had changed a bit into the dragon he really was, therefore allowing him to protect the others. Kazu watched apprehensively as Takato quickly changed back into his human form. It looked painful.

"Should we continue this fight?" Kazu asked Takato, hoping for a "no".

Takato raised his eyebrow at him and said, "Are you expecting a 'no'? If so, then you've got one. The fight is over, alright? It's a tie."

Kazu nodded thankfully along with the others.

"Then I suppose it's Henry's and my turn then," Ryo stated, matter-of-factly.

Henry nodded and walked with Ryo to the same space as Kazu and Takato fought. The Earth was now healed again, thanks to Juri and her Earth abilities.

"Ready, Set, Fight!" Kazu yelled. [3]

Evil's Castle: The Ruler Evil's POV

My eyes snapping open with a start, I immediately felt a faint trace of power that briefly rose and disappeared.

//Whoever tried to mask the power isn't doing a very good job. Of course, unless they did it just to keep it from humans… Yes, that must be it. \\

"Hmmm… Those mystics must not know where our hideout is…That must mean Henry does not know either!" The Evil Lord cackled, evilly. (A/N: Lame, yes. Slow, yes. Handsome, hell yeah! Shadow: *facefaults* hn….)

Closing my eyes, I left my body like a spirit does and transported right over to the Park where the power was centered. Knowing that although 7 of the 8 Mystics could not see me, I still hid, for the 8th child was the only one who could see, sense, hear, touch, and attack me. Luckily, Henry, the 8th child, did not notice me, as he was to busy in making sure his friends were okay after the explosion that had alerted me that something was going on.

//So they're training for the upcoming battle. *frowns* However, I doubt Henry's little friends know about the prophecy…Henry might, but it is highly unlikely. Only the elders and the evils know about the prophecy. Then why would they know to train? They could be having fun, but I doubt that they really are. Who would use so much power when playing? *shakes head* No. They must be just playing. \\

As I waited a bit longer to see what would happen, my mind became distracted as my gaze fell on Henry.

//Gods, he's beautiful! \\

Long pale limbs, softly shining midnight blue hair, bottomless silver eyes that could see right to your soul…*grins evilly*

"You will soon be mine, Henry," I whispered as I silently left. Yes, Henry WILL belong to me and that damned boyfriend of his will be history and forever writhing in torment in my cold, dank, and dark dungeons.

Back to the others: Nobody's POV

Henry suddenly shuddered, feeling an immensely dark presence in the area. He also had the feeling that he was being watched. Briefly scanning the area with his mind, he found the dark presence and froze.

//It can't be! Damn, I should have known that the Evils would have scouts to find us! However, what is He doing here? More importantly, why is he watching me? \\

"Henry! Hey, Henry! You ready to start the battle?" Ryo asked, slightly concerned at his friend's behavior. Mentally shaking himself, Henry nodded and got into position.

"Once more, Ready! Set! Fight!" Kazu shouted energetically.

Mentally, Henry rolled his eyes. Kazu could be very eccentric sometimes.

//And they say that eccentricity means you're a genius. Whoever said that didn't take Kazu in account. \\

"Lightning Shocker!" Ryo cried pointing at Henry.

"Give me a break," Henry muttered. He was definitely not in the mood for a battle. However, he knew that Ryo wanted to train and that he, himself, should train too.

"Light Arrow!" Henry cried, as a bow and an arrow, which was made out of light, formed in his hands. Without bothering to check his aim, Henry pointed the arrow at Ryo and let loose.

Swish

The light arrow streaked across the open distance between Ryo and Henry, disintegrating Ryo's attack and going on straight for Ryo.

"Hurricane shield!"

Henry sighed. He was really getting bored. However, Ryo must be bored too, since he really didn't need to use such a strong shield. When the light arrow hit the hurricane shield, a small explosion could be heard and then the arrow disappeared. Henry quickly took this time and launched a Fire based attack.

"Fire Phoenix!" An enormous Red Dragon made out of flames appeared and charged at Ryo. Ryo didn't even blink.

"Wind and Lightning Horse!"

The two elemental type animals started attacking each other, neither one letting up and both refusing to back down. (A/N: Reminds you of Beyblade, doesn't it?) Suddenly, Henry called back his Phoenix and Ryo's horse, unable to stop its stampede, ran straight at Henry.

"Oh no! Henry! Watch out!" Takato screamed desperately worried.

There was a bright flash of light and then…

1: I was thinking of Voldemort when I wrote this.

2: The tamers live in Shinjuku, right? Or is it Odaiba? I can't remember.

3: *smirks* I don't own that phrase. It belongs to "Zoids". *sighs* Wish I did though, sort of.

A/N: *laughs evilly* I was trying to make a cliff-hanger, but I don't think I did a very good job on it. Besides, my friend would have killed me if I didn't finish this soon. Therefore, this is a relatively short chapter but I promise I'll make up for it in a later chapter. *mutters darkly* Besides, I have some things going on in my life right now that I really need a break from.

Shadow: *sighs softly* You know, the beginning part of the song, In the Night when the Moon Smiled, fits you very well right now. Please read and review!
