Yosho & Sophia's Adventures
The Quest for the Jewels

Inside a Volcano

Three enter a door leading into the volcano. The first guy had black wild hair with bangs that tend to spiral around the front of his hair. He's 16. He has purple eyes stare concentrating on the way he was leading them. He wore a black coat with what looks like a cloth that drapes over the front and the back. The front had his family crest. He turns back at his followers.

Guy 1 "You guys coming or what?" The second guy also had black hair but its tamer then the first. He looked around 15. His light blue eyes calmly examine the interior of the volcano. His clothes are obviously old. Something a vampire would wear. The third and last one is a girl around 16 short. Her brown eyes look curiously around. She wears pink sleeveless shirt, aqua pants with matching sneakers.

Girl "Wait I think I hear something." She says as the rumbling is heard.

Guy 1 "Well, Sophia, we are in a volcano, of course you're going to hear rumbling.

Meanwhile Outside

A portal appears on a plateau that connects to the volcano entrance, slowly but surely a space ship exits it landing on the plateau. It slowly opens and the clank, clank of boots on the steps as two emerge from the ship.

Guy 3 "Why are we the ones used as test dogs?"

Guy 4 "You gonna talk to Canal about it?"

Guy 3 "No."

Canal "Hey!! I heard that!! Get going or get lost!"

Guy 4 "Okay. okay we'll go." "He ha, ha he. Let's go Balmung."

Balmung He notices something yellow drop in front of his commander. "Uh, Lord Yosho there's a."

Yosho "AAAhhh!!!!!!"

Balmung "Banana peal." he says as he watches his feet fly in the air and tumble down the steps. His face lands in the ground.

Canal "Ha, ha. ha he."

Yosho ".."

Balmung "Ha, ha, ha, ha I warned you about it." Suddenly the rapid clanks of a new person races to Yosho's aid and helps him out of the ground.

Yosho "Finally" he says breathing a sigh of relief. "Canal, I'm going to lunch a virus into your program!"

Canal "YOU WOULDN'T DARE!!"

Yosho "Ah, Umi!"

Umi "That's me! Yosho, can I come along?" she says surprising him.

Yosho "Well, I guess it wouldn't hurt."

Umi "Yah!"

Yosho "Let's go." The three start for the volcano.

Inside the Shrine

Sophia "Come on guys." She looks around in awe the jewel in the center catching her eye. "Look there it is."

Guy 1 "Sophia, wait!" She picks up the jewel. "It could be."

Sophia "It could be what?" Oblivious to the fact that a lava beast is emerging behind her. She looks up seeing it just in time to see its entirety.

Guy 1 "A trap."

Sophia She closes her eyes as the lava monster shoots fireballs at her knowing she was too close to move out of the way in time. She waits for impact as the heat of the fireballs comes closer. Instead she feels an arm round her. She looks up to see friend shielding her with his cape.

Guy 1 "Damn you!" he yells angrily. "I told you to wait, Sophia!!"

Sophia ".I got the jewel. that's all that matters, right?"

Guy 2 "Now isn't the time to argue." he says calmly. "The time to leave is now."

Sophia "I'm careful!" she says not hearing him. "Right Q, I'm careful." Instead of answering her he steps in front of her to face the lava monster.

Guy 1 "Sophia, come on. Q's right, we have to leave now. " He takes her arm pulling her along. Q's eyes changes to that of a wild cat as he raises his hand. He fires a fireball to counter the monster, but it just absorbs it.

Q "Now, let's go." The three race from the shrine into the open area following the path they used to get there. They could feel the heat of the lava on each side of them. They stop at two cave exits.

Sophia "Which way, Kenji?" Just then two lava monster emerges in front of them blocking the exit on the left. "The other way. The other way!"

Kenji "No shit Sherlock." He says coldly as they all race in the other direction.

Sophia "Will you leave me alone already?" she looks at him annoyed. Kenji reaches in his coat and takes three objects from his coat pocket. "What's that?"

Kenji "Do you really have to ask?" He says annoyed. They come to a turn in the cave of the volcano. Before they could turn the corner emerge from it, two guys and a girl.

Yosho "Get down!" he says as him Balmung and Umi raise their guns. Q dashes to the side taking Sophia with him. Kenji moves just as they start firing barely dodging the first set of bullets. The monster easily absorbs the bullets. "What the heck! The bullets aren't working." He then talks into a communicator on his arm. "Canal can you analyze this?"

Canal "Intense heat is being admitted from the monsters. They could be made of the substance in the volcano. I believe they're lava monsters."

Yosho "So that explains it. Umi take care of this." She steps forward and raises her hand.

Umi "Ice Dragon!" Water encircles her entire body and then turns to ice growing into the shape of a dragon. She then points her hand forward at the lava monsters. The ice dragon shoots forward and instantly freezes them. Yosho and Balmung instantly take out their swords and slash up the monsters to shreds. Just as they finish, there's a quake and new monster appear at the exit.

Balmung "Oh shit! RUN!!" They head back toward the shrine. Along the way, Yosho frantically calls to his ship to get out a way out. They continue running until they make it back to the shrine. There's another rumble and everyone looks up a shuttle lowers itself into the volcano. Everyone immediately gets on as the volcano starts to erupt.

Kenji "Ok, who the hell are you!!" he yells with his sword raised after he was done assembling it. "I don't trust you!"

Sophia She looks at Kenji annoyed. "He saved us remember."

Kenji "So that doesn't mean anything!" He has one eye on Sophia as she says this. "I don't trust him; I don't trust anyone."

Sophia "What about me?"

Kenji "All you do is keep the vampire in check besides that you're useless."

Sophia She steps forward, but Q holds her in place.

Yosho "You three seem to be an interesting bunch, but I must warn you not to threaten me while on my ship."

Kenji "Oh, and what's going to happen?" He taunts swinging his sword around at Yosho then a quake in the ship happens. "What's going on?"

Yosho "I warned you." He then calls to his ship. "Canal, don't do it. He didn't mean it." Suddenly the ship tilts to the left and the door opens.

Kenji "HEEEEEYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!" The door closes as Kenji slides out the ship.

Sophia "Oh, my God, KENJI!!!" she shouts after him. "PLEASE GO AND GET HIM!!!! HE DIDN'T MEAN IT!!!"

Yosho "Canal!" he says reassuring Sophia. The ship suddenly does a quick nosedive. The door opens and a screaming Kenji lands back in the ship with a thud.

Sophia "You IDIOT!!! YOU COULD HAVE GOTTNE YOURSELF KILLED!!!!" He looks at Sophia a moment.

Kenji I "I'm sorry," he turns to Yosho, "What's the big idea anyway!!!"

Yosho "I warned you, but you didn't listen. This ship 'Canal' is very protective of me so the fact that you threatened me caused her to protect me by throwing you out."

Sophia "I get it."

Kenji "Who ever heard of a ship protective of its captain.? I . guess I'll just have to be more careful that's all."

Yosho "Well, I guess we should introduce ourselves. My name is High General Yosho Huhari." In a sudden flack, a hologram of a beautiful young girl appears next to Yosho. "This is Canal, the hologram protection of this ship."

Kenji "Oh, so she threw me out."

Canal "Yeah, and I will continue if you threaten my love again."

Kenji

Yosho He sighs. "Huh?" He notices there's some movement behind his cape. He pulls his cape away and sees a young girl of about 14. "Oh, everyone, I would like to introduce you to Aura. She follows me around so don't be surprised if you see her behind me.

Aura ".Yosho.can.we go?"

Yosho "Just a minute." Balmung and Umi introduce themselves.

Balmung "I'm second in command Balmung Isamu. A pleasure."

Umi "And I'm assistant General Umi Ryouzaki." The door opens behind Umi and another girl comes in. She has a white dress and is holding a big axe. "Oh, you finally came."

Terajima "Hello, I am Yosho's personal assistant Terajima Ryoko. I handle all of Yosho's mental and physical needs."

Yosho "Did you have to say it like that?"

Terajima "He, he. you're all red Lord Yosho. Are you blushing?"

Yosho "Terajima!" he coughs suddenly getting back his composure. "Well, you guys wouldn't mind introducing yourselves."

Kenji "Of course my name's Kenji. Id you don't know my name by now then there's something wrong with you."

Q ".um." He looks to the floor, something else on his mind; his face a bit sad.

Yosho "Don't talk much, oh well."

Sophia "Oh, don't mind him. he doesn't like to talk much. I call him Q be. cause I can't say his full name without messing it up.

Canal "Lord Yosho, it's almost time for your speech. You should go take a shower."

Yosho "Fine, Umi can you show our guests to their room. Terajima lets go."

Umi & Terajima "Roger!" Everybody goes his or her separate ways. Terajima, Yosho, and Balmung go to the hot baths on the third floor of the ship. Umi, Sophia, Q, and Kenji head toward the guest rooms.

In the Hot Bath

Yosho "Ahhhhh. this feels good."

Balmung "That's true. Taking a bath after exploring a volcano feels food."

Terajima "Lord Yosho, shall I scrub your back?"

Yosho "Sure, why not."

Aura "Um."

Yosho "Oh, Aura, want me to wash your hair?"

Aura "Yes."

Yosho "Alright." Yosho grabs the soap, sits next to Aura and starts washing her hair. "Is it too hard?" All of a sudden bubbles begin to appear in the water. In a sudden flash, Balmung leaps out of the water.

Balmung "Now you get it today Lord Yosho!" Instantly he slashes the water and unleashes a water blade attack towards Yosho. Yosho creates a barrier around himself and Aura. The blade splits in two and water splashes all over the place wetting Terajima.

Terajima "BALMUNG YOU JERK!!!!!!!" Terajima punches Balmung halfway across the pool and into the deep end.

Yosho "Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha isn't this fun Aura?"

Aura "Ha, ha, ha yes it is."
