This fic is about, what if Genki was the Phoenix like Holly thought... well on
with the fic. Oh yeah, don't own nothing but the storyline.
Wings Of Fire
By Firehedgehog
Chapter One = Dream of Wings
"Yeah, it's a beautiful day," a dark haired eleven year old cheered, this
boy was no other then Genki a boy from another world and like his name he was
filled with energy. He wore an orange-brown hat worn backwards, a white T-shirt
that looked like it had seen better days, loose brown shorts and brown shoes
common to this world.
"Must you be so cheerful this early," a sleep filled voice complained,
Genki turned and grinned at the owner of the voice. It was Hare a rabbit like
monster that loved money, but since joining there group in search of the Phoenix
his greed had gotten less.
"Your just grumpy because your breakfast was cold, I warned you that you
should of gotten up earlier," another male voice said, Tiger better known as
Tiger of the wind smirked as Hare bristled in anger. Tiger looked like a large
blue and white wolf with horns, he was once a thief but was learning to trust
and not to steal things.
"Stop it you two, its too early to fight," a brown haired teen said, this
was Holly a girl around fifteen years old. Around her neck she wore a necklace
that a strange pendant rested on, it was the magic stone that led them
actually.
"Fine," Hare grumbled, Genki laughed cheerfully as the two began there
usual staring contest.
"Silly, chi," a child's voice said, at his side a small bird like creature
stood that was slightly pink in color. His name was Moochi, he had been in the
disk that Genki had first brought to this strange world.
'Some things never change' he thought smiling, he then watched in
amusement as Golum a huge rock monster tried to stop the staring contest. Nearby
a yellow monster with a huge eyeball laughed at the others antics, this was
Sweazo Holly's oldest friend... and also a pain in the butt a lot.
"Stop fooling around, we should get going," Holly said with a sigh,
everyone stopped what they were doing and nodded.
"Yeah, lets go find the Phoenix," Genki cheered, everyone smiled at how
energetic he was while Holly pulled out the magic stone.
Slowly it began to glow as she concentrated her mind on it, Genki watched
as an image of a firery bird appeared briefly before turning into an arrow. He
had seen this many times and it never ceased to amaze him, every time it would
lead them to new adventures and new friends.
'Thinking of friends, I wonder how Pixie and Big Blue are doing' he
thought, in his mind he could just see the two ex-baddies.
"Hey, Genki hurry up," a voice shouted, the small boy blushed slightly
realizing that while his thoughts drifted the others had gotten ahead of him.
"Hey wait up," he called, smiling he ran to catch up with his friends.
***
Genki sighed in relief when they stopped to rest for the night, they had
walked all day stopping for brief rests and lunch. He was tired and so was
everyone else, they had all eaten a small supper not really hungry.
'Strange, usually I'm not this tired' he thought with a yawn, finally he
pulled out his blankets and crawling inside them fell deep asleep.
***
Genki dreamed. He found himself resting on something white and it reminded
him of cotton candy. Curious he moved enough to look over the edge, his dark
brown eyes widened seeing the ground miles below.
'Okay, so I'm on a cloud' he thought, it was at that moment the cloud
became like a real cloud and he began to fall.
"Ahhh," he screamed, he really hoped that he would wake up before hitting
the ground... wasn't there a theory that if you died in a dream you died in real
life.
Suddenly a burning feeling filled his body. He gasped as something erupted
from his back in a spray of feathers. Slowly his fall descended to a stop. He
gathered his startled wits and flew to a dream lake.
"This can't be right," he said, he looked the same except for the large
angelic wings coming from his back who's colors reminded him of flames.
"This is a very weird dream," he told himself, finally he felt himself
waking up.
***
With a soft gasp Genki woke up, he whipped cold sweat off his face.
Looking around he noticed that everyone was sound asleep and hadn't woken up
because of him, he winced as he felt a soft twinge in his back muscles that
quickly vanished.
'Must of slept on a rock' he thought, with a yawn he curled back inside
his blankets and fell asleep ignoring how sore his back was...
What he didn't know was that everything was about to change for him.
TBC
Well should I continue, well if I do its going to be one twisted fic and nothing
like the way the series ended with the freeing of the Phoenix and the fight
against Moo.

Chapter Two = Capture
A tired group walked the next morning, everyone was still tired from
yesterdays walking and even Genki seemed less energetic. To tell the truth the
brown haired boy wasn't feeling so well, he had woken that morning with a
strange tingling in his body and he hadn't even eaten breakfast.
Even more annoying was that his back was still hurting, it had hurt last
night when he had woken up from that wacko dream... but he had made sure not to
sleep on a rock after.
'One of the little mysteries of the universe' he thought with a silent
sigh, he yawned and stretched his body wishing that everything would feel like
normal soon (Author laughs evilly).
"Are you okay Genki?" someone suddenly asked, Genki blinked and looked
at the speaker. It was Tiger who had noticed that the usually energetic boy
was looking more tired then he should, Genki forced a smile on his face and
knew that the monster thought it was real.
"I'm fine Tiger, just slept on a rock and didn't sleep well," he said,
he winced internally for it was a bit true but not all true.
"Is that all, we better take a few more breaks then normal then," Tiger
said and Genki nodded, with more breaks he could rest and gather more energy...
and hopefully feel better faster.
***
"Is that him," a voice asked.
"Yes, it is him... I told you that ten minutes ago," a second said, the
first grumbled and readied to fight the second.
"Stop it you two, if you fight they'll notice us before we can enact our
plan," a third more athorative voice said, the two others grumbled but agreed.
***
With a happy sigh Genki sat down, it was lunch time and he was starting
to feel like his normal self again. His energy levels were up (at what most
people called reactor of the sun level) and he was cheerful again, mind you
his back was still bothering him but he ignored it.
Happily he bit into an apple that Holly passed him, its sweet juice
entered his mouth refreshing him greatly. Once done he lay back on some soft
moss and looked at the sky, it was such a beautiful day and he wanted to enjoy
it to the fullest.
"Hmmm... we have enough money for provisions in the next village, but by
my calculations we really must get more money before we leave the village or
get to the next one at least," hare said, in his paws was the appicus (is that
what its called, I never can remember) and he was moving beads as he looked
over there money supply.
"Don't worry Hare, I'm sure we'll find away to make money when we get
there... maybe a few jobs we could do," Holly said thoughtfully, Tiger gave a
sniff not liking the idea of working so hard for money (something that still
carried over as his days as a thief).
"Tiger... really, we can't steal things like you want... we'd be as bad as
the baddies," Hare yelled eyes flashing angrily, Tiger leapt up growling.
"Not again." Holly sighed, once again the two were fighting so everyone
settled down knowing they'd be here awhile.
***
"Now is the perfect time," the first voice said.
"Yes, now is the time," the second said, silence lasted for a few
moments before they began to move in to attack the small group.
***
Genki yawned as he leaned against a tree his cap hiding his face from
the sun, Tiger and hare were still fighting so he could rest. He could feel
himself falling asleep, if something didn't happen soon he would be in dream
land.
'Strange, in the beginning this world was just a game I played... now its
real and fighting real evil' Genki thought with a soft smile, it was one of
his rare true smiles that even the others never saw.
Sure they saw his energetic smiles, but there was just something so
right about this certain smile that seemed magical.
It was at that moment a sound filled the air, startled Genki and the
others jumped up to see what was the matter. At first they saw nothing, but
then suddenly something hit the ground in the middle of them.
"Looks like a metal capsule of some type," Hare said walking over to it,
Tiger sniffed the air.
"Something about it doesn't smell right," Tiger growled, there answers
to what it was were soon answered as a sweet smelling gas soon started pouring
out of it.
"It's dazzle gas," Hare yelled in warning, quickly they all started
running from the out pouring gas but it quickly surrounded them... soon none of
them could see each other.
"Tiger... Hare," Genki called in a slightly worried voice, this gas was
causing him to feel quite dizzy and was making him cough heavily.
"Genki hold still, I'll be right there!" he heard a voice call, he
sighed in relief recognizing it to belonging to Tiger.
"Not now young one," an unfamiliar voice suddenly whispered, startled
Genki spun around yet saw nothing but a strangely shaped form... a monster of
some type.
"Who are you?" he asked backing away, he never got to hear his answer as
something hard hit him on the back of his head... sending him into darkness.
***
"Mission complete," the first voice said, the others sighed in relief.
"Good, glad that's over," the second said.
"Its not over yet, we still have to get back to base before the boys
friends track us down," the third said, with that in mind the three set out
with a certain brown haired boy in there grasp.
TBC
Hmmm... okay, that's a bit weird. Anyway next chapter a cool transformation
takes place and something new is born, a new chapter begins in the monster
world.

Chapter Three = Transcendence of fire
"Genki," Holly called, for the last four hours their group had been
searching for their friend. Sure he could be annoying at times but he was a
true friend, his loyalty was true to them... that was something so rare on their
world.
"When I find whoever took Genki I'll rip them apart, no one kidnaps one
of my friends," Tiger growled angrily, he was so angry that his hackles were
up making him look larger them normal and electricity fizzed around his horns.
"Calm down Tiger, we all want to find him," Hare said, Tiger growled and
ran out of view looking for the young human boy.
"I hope he's alright," Holly said with sad eyes, in her life she had
lost her whole village to evil... she didn't want to loose another friend to it.
"Chi," Moochi agreed sadly, the small monster had a down trodden look on
his normally cheerful face.
'Genki, please be all right' she thought, a tear slipped down her face
at the thought of loosing the young boy that had brought new light into her
life.
***
Genki felt himself slowly coming back to reality, his head felt as if a
jack hammer had been pounding against it.
'What happened, the last thing I remember is that gas and that weird
shadow' he thought, with a groan he opened his eyes.
"He's awake," a voice said excitedly, Genki blinked and had to blink
again. Standing above his body were three monsters, monsters that looked like
beautiful humanoid dragons to be exact.
The one that had spoken had orange scales covering his body, he had
amber eyes and wore cool leather armor over the rest of his body.
"I noticed that," the second one said in a tired voice, this one had
purple scales, blue eyes and the same type as armor as the first.
The third was the largest of the three probably six feet tall, he had
silver scales and large very intelligent gold eyes. He wore the same armor as
the other two but his seemed to say he was more important, Genki looked at
them confused.
"What's going on, let me go!" he said and he tried to get up, his eyes
widened when he now realized that he was strapped to a stone floor that looked
like it had held fire on it many times.
"We cannot do that young one, what you hold within yourself is too
important to let you go," the third said, Genki bit his bottom lip having the
feeling that even if he screamed for help no one would hear.
"What are you talking about, who are you three?" Genki said, he felt
panic building up inside him. What did these three nut balls mean by that,
they were insane.
"I am Hoshi," the third one said, weird name because it translated to
star.
"My name is Tatsu," the second said, his name meant dragon in a way.
"And I am Hikari," the third said, Genki remembered that word meant
light... but why did these three have names that came from his world and from
Japan... everyone here spoke English.
"We are the Draconia," they said together, it was then that Hoshi held
up a lit torch.
"What are you planning to do with that?" he asked in a panicked, it was
then that his nose caught a strange smell... something that was probably very
flameable.
"This," Hoshi said and he dropped the torch beside Genki, fire filled
the air around the young human boy... and then he screamed as pain over wealmed
him and everything began to burn.
***
Genki burned, he was burning in what seemed an everlasting hell. His
throat was raw from screaming in pain, he knew he should be dead now from the
fire... but he wasn't.
He couldn't move now because of what the fire had done to him, he could
still feel the pain though.
'Never thought I'd die like this' he thought, he would of cried but the
fire and his terrible injuries prevented him.
'I'm alone' he thought, what had he done to deserve death in such a long
and gruesome way.
But you are not alone a new voice suddenly said, startled Genki
blinked his dried eyes and coughed weakly.
(Who are you?) he thought back, suddenly he felt as if he was surrounded
by something so familiar... but he couldn't place it.
Something that has always been with you and part of you, Genki we are
two parts of one soul the voice said, Genki closed his eyes and felt as if he
was drifting closer to the owner of that kind voice.
(How come I didn't know about you, what are you by the way?) He asked,
there was a flash of light and Genki found himself floating in a plain of his
mind.
There was no need and it was to protect you my innocent half from your
destiny, but now is the time to reveal myself the voice said, suddenly fire
appeared in front of him and took form.
(The Phoenix) he gasped, indeed in front of him floated the great bird...
Boos enemy they had all been looking for.
Yes, after that great battle our soul was separated from our body. We
floated for a very long time till we came apon your mother who was about to
give birth, suddenly we were the baby and reborn as Genki the Phoenix said,
this explained... some.
(Okay that explains something's Phoenix, but why am I being burned
alive. And what the hell is my past life doing here?) He asked, he knew it was
rude... but wouldn't you be rude if you were being burned to death.
Because our body still exists and Boo wants to destroy it, I actually
don't care about that... this body is as good as any to carry our soul and
power. We are the Phoenix no matter what body we are in, but to live you must
embrace your past memories and powers. You must be reborn from the fires the
Draconia started, they know what you are.... What you are meant to be the
Phoenix said, Genki bit his bottom lip.
(And if I don't?) He asked, the silence answered that question.
We must become one, we cannot survived with our soul divided... but I
warn you after we are reborn we will no longer be human Phoenix warned, Genki
took a deep breath... kind of weird considering he was in his mind.
(How do we do this, becoming one and all that?) he asked curious, the
Phoenix floated to him and surrounded him with his huge flame like wings.
Don't worry Genki you know how, and then you will fly like in your
dreams... even before the attack the transformation had begun slowly on your
body... we will just finish it Phoenix whispered, and he did know.
***
In the real world the fire suddenly turned white, the three Draconia
looked at it in awe. After thousands of years their task was born, they had
brought the Phoenix back... even if they had to destroy a young child's life to
do it.
They wondered what the Phoenix would like it, it had been reborn in a
human body. So most likely it would be more humanoid then avian.
Watching in awe the fire flared and they had to cover their eyes from
the bright light it caused, when they could look again they quickly fell to
the ground in awe.
"Welcome great one, we greet you great Phoenix," Hoshi praised, the
Phoenix had finally returned to their dimension.
"Rise Draconia, we have many tasks ahead of us," the Phoenix told them,
they nodded knowing that there was also a fight between good an evil ahead.
TBC
Wow, I can't believe I wrote this all in one sitting. Now things are getting
cooler, next chapter we get descriptions of Genki's/Phoenix new form, also
more on Genkis friends.
Ja ne

Chapter Four = Angel of Fire
"We must leave this place, with my rebirth I feel this place will soon
be discovered," the Reborn Phoenix told them, the three Draconia nodded and
ran to gather their things.
"So many things have changed since my soul was torn from my body, so
much suffering and death," the Phoenix whispered sadly, his voice no longer
sounded like Genki's. It was still gentle but it held power, his voice was
beautiful and seemed to hold knowledge long lost to the people alive on the
world now.
Spotting a mirror the Draconia had cleaned off some time ago he walked
over, with interest he studied his new form.
At first glance the person looking back looked like fifteen year old boy
with red-orange hair remenscent of fire with its spiky wavy hair style.
He wore a blue silk shirt with flame designs on it (think Davis from
Digimon 02) and blue silk pants with the same fire designs, next he wore navy
blue leather boots that went up to his shins with the same flame designs. Next
was elbow length fingerless blue gloves also with flame designs, around his
forehead was a blue bandana with the flame design... as usual.
At second glance the non-human things were noticed, the silver-blue eyes
that seemed to stare right into your soul was one of them. Also the huge
beautiful angel like wings he had on his back with reddish-orange Color, bits
of flame actually seemed to slip off them a bit.
Then last of all was his inhuman beauty, he was beautiful to behold and
no human could be like this... he was almost too perfect.
'So this is what I look like in this rebirth of mine, but I don't want
Moo to know who I am right away... I should go by a different name' he thought,
through the finally complete mind and spirit he searched, he smirked as he
came across a perfect name.
"Draconia I have a perfect name for my new form, Tenshi," he said, they
smiled knowing that in Genkis Japanese language it translated into Angel.
'An angel of fire' Phoenix thought, if he was careful Moo would not
catch on to who he was till it was too late.
"We are ready,' Hikari said finally, the Phoenix no Tenshi nodded and
they all left the place where Genki had died and been reborn as he should have
been.
***
It was nearing sunset when a tired group of five monsters and one human
arrived, they had found the scent of the three Draconia and finally tracked it
here.
"This looks like the Burning Dawn ruins, I thought they were just a
myth," Hare said with interest, everyone gave him blank expressions.
"What are the burning Dawn ruins, I've never heard of them?" Holly
asked, it was apparent to Hare that he was the only one who had heard of it.
"It was said that in ancient days a temple was built for the Phoenix by
a tribe of monsters called the Draconia, it was said that they were given the
task by the Phoenix itself to wait and search for something... but I don't know
what it is. They called the temple the burning dawn, and by the flame designs
on the buildings this looks like it might be the place," Hare explained,
everyone frowned.
"But what did they want with Genki?" Holly asked, for this Hare had no
answer.
"I bet the Draconia were turned into baddies, that's why," Tiger
growled, the others paled and with that in mind they ran to the one spot the
ruins still stood seemingly untouched by time.
***
Holly looked around in disbelief, the place was empty and looked like no
one had been there. But the fact there was hardly any dust believed that
belief, she also spotted fresh ash and soot in a huge burning thing in the
center of the room.
"I found something," Moochi called suddenly, everyone quickly ran to
where the young monster stood. It was by the gigantic burner, Holly felt fear grip her realizing that Moochi was pointing inside the burner.
"No," she whispered, grief covered her as she spotted what Moochi had
found. In the burner she could just she a few scraps of frabric, what had once
been his hat and shorts... they were mostly incinerated.
"They burned him alive," Hare whispered sobbing, all felt grief... there
friend was dead... murdered.
"They'll pay, I'll turn the draconia into lost disks myself," Tiger
growled, everyone looked at Tiger startled. They all knew that Tiger and Genki
were friends, Genki was the one that had given Tiger friendship with no price
attached... something they all valued.
"We can't tiger, we'd be just as bad as the baddies then," Holly tried
to reason with him, Tiger glared at them grief showing across his face but
rage burning in his eyes.
"No, they took away Genki... an innocent... someone who should of never been
involved in our battle," Tiger growled, then before anyone could say anything
else Tiger ran out of the temple to track down the Draconia.
"We have to go after him, no matter what the Draconia did to Genki we
can't hurt people like baddies do," Holly said, everyone nodded and ran off
after there grief stricken companion.
***
Tenshi laughed happily, after such a long time he could fly once again.
He seemed to dance in the sky his wings sending off small bits of flame as he
moved, it was a dance of fire.
Down below the three Draconia traveled, he himself had gotten tired of
walking and decided to fly. The feelings of freedom he was getting was like
bliss, nothing was like flying.
It was then that he noticed something in the distance, focusing his gaze
on it he was surprised at what he saw.
"Tiger," he said, he bit his bottom lip. He felt grief knowing that they
could never know that he was Genki, it was kind of sad... if only they had known
that the small child traveling with them was in truth the Phoenix reborn.
'He comes to destroy the Draconia for killing Genki, I can't let him do
that... such hatred would surely turn him into a baddie' Tenshi thought sadly,
in a way the Draconia had killed Genki... but in truth the young boy lived on in
a new form.
"Better warn the Draconia, maybe I should be the one to face Tiger,"
Tenshi said thoughtfully, while he couldn't tell the other monster who he
truly was... this was better then never seeing his friends again.
Dracnia you must hide yourself and even your scent, there is something
that must be dealt with he sent telepathicly to the three, he felt there
affirmatives and below the three seemed vanish from reality.
"Tiger, didn't you learn anything... anger will only betray you," Tenshi
whispered sadly, whipping a tear from his face for all that he had lost he
waited till Tiger was just in place so he could meet him.
TBC
Well this is the end of part one of this series, it will be quite awhile
before the next four chapters come out. Hopefully with good reviews it will
come out faster, Oh yeah I would love fanart for the fic... just leave a link to
it in the review section.
