Chapter 9
"Nice going Anubis," Cale smirked, "you let five unarmed weaklings best you at your own game."
"Shut up," Anubis growled.
"Pathetic," Dais smirked, "you had your chance, and you blew it."
"Something came up," Anubis shot back, "but it won't happen again."
"What exactly "came up" Anubis?" Sekhmet sneered.
'I can't tell them that I have a partner,' Anubis thought, 'Jazalyn could be used as a weapon against me, and I can't put her in danger.' "I heard chiming," Anubis finished.
The other three Warlords looked at Anubis, "what do you mean by chiming?" Dais asked.
"I thought I heard the chiming of a monk's staff," Anubis replied.
"Then that means the monk has come to help the Ronin Warriors," Talpa's voice boomed, startling the Warlords so that they would stand at attention.
"Master," Sekhmet asked, "will those five unarmed pests try to find the Ronin Warriors?"
Talpa almost laughed, "The Ronin Warriors are more important than those five pests. After you have destroyed them, the other five are yours to deal with."
"Master," Anubis kneeled, "will the earlier claims still hold?"
"Yes," Talpa replied, "why do you ask Anubis?"
"I just wanted to reaffirm my claim," Anubis replied.
Jazalyn opened her eyes to find Melody and Sarah looking down at her, "you okay?" Melody asked.
"Other than going through the weirdest experience in my life," Jazalyn muttered, "I'm fine."
"I'm worried about your mental state," Sarah said, "What in the nine levels of Hell were you thinking?"
"Take a wild guess," Jazalyn stated.
Sarah sighed, "you could have been killed."
"And you would have been killed if I hadn't stepped in," Jazalyn said in an annoyed manner, "you're going to have to get use to the fact that I'm fiercely protective of my friends."
"Or loyal to a fault," Sarah muttered.
"AND WHAT'S WRONG WITH LOYALTY?" Jazalyn yelled, "IT SAVED YOUR LIFE."
"Okay," Brian said, cutting the two girls off, "we now have to find our partners"
"Did anyone recognize the direction they flew out?" Melissa asked.
"I did." Mia replied, "I saw Ryo fly out of the tornado toward the direction of Mount Fuji."
"Then let's go," Sarah smiled.
"Nice going Anubis," Cale smirked, "you let five unarmed weaklings best you at your own game."
