NEVER get onto a plane unless you know EXACTLY where you're going
Chapter 4
The street above our hero/ines began crumbling away like...erm...tofu! Wait...no...dried bread. Yeah. The grappling hook was pulled back towards its owner with great force. Anubis swung his chain around and above his head, chuckling deeply. The Skittle Squad stood there motionless, in shock at the attack.
Amariie raised an eyebrow and shoved a nearby Sage in the back. "Yo, aren't you supposed to jump up, kick his ass, get in your armor, then kick ass again, kill him, end of story?"
Cye gave a look back to Amariie. "Oh yeah..."
Yet before they could react, Anubis sent the end of his chain soaring down into the underground once more. It flew over their heads, purposely missing them and instead penetrating a large stone slab behind them. Rain was too busy staring at the yummy warlord, so she was oblivious to a concrete pillar about to go crashing into the back of her head. Amariie saw it coming and violently shoved her companion to the ground.
Rain blinked in realization and looked at Amariie. "What-"
"I just saved you bitch! Don't provoke my bitchiness quality," Amariie scoffed.
White Blaze growled and bared his teeth at the almost-assassin while Ryo, looking back at Rain for a moment, yelled, "Hey! Why pick on them when you can have a real battle?"
The stone attached to Anubis' chain smashed into the wall besides Ryo, causing him to hit the deck. "Well I am WAITING for you dumbasses to come attack me, no da," said carrot-top while leaning on one leg, his armored hand on his hip.
Rowen and Ryo exchanged looks and both nodded. Rowen called to his friends, "Form the circle!" All gave some sort of agreement and began, surprisingly, to run in a circle around Rain and Amariie.
Amariie looked at the blur of colors. "Yeah, that'll REALLY help the situation. Why not bake some cookies while you're at it."
The boys then stopped around the girls and forced their armors to separate from them, forming a protection pentagram with Rain and Blondie in the center. Anubis merely stood above them and why he never attacked during this period, we'll never know.
El Roninos wasted no more time and leapt up to street level (again with the defying gravity shit) to meet the patient warrior before them. Only Rowen stayed behind for a moment in his subarmor. He looked at the two girls. "You two stay here. The circle will use our armors to protect you," he said seriously and turned to join his comrades.
Amariie, getting a weird tingly feeling in her stomach, shot out to grab Rowen's arm, but unfortunately her agility was only a 4, and she tripped and fell...right into his arms. Oh how slick Amariie, we congratulate you. Not. "Err..." she began, stupidity catching up to her for this moment, "Don't die or I'll kick your ass, ok?"
He gave her a smirk and a reassuring squeeze, "Deal." Regaining what little grace she had, she stepped back beside Rain (who had that "way to go Ro" smirk on her lips) and Rowen sprinted off to rejoin his comrades. The dark figure of Anubis stood still as all of the Ronins formed yet another circle around him. Nighttime fog rolled into the streets, making the area seem all the more desolate and empty, except for the six warriors.
Ryo turned his head to the side a bit and narrowed his eyes. "You're Anubis, aren't you?"
Anubis sighed loudly. "Well DUH. Haven't you been following the frickin story?!" When he got a blank look from Wildfire, he leaned on his left foot. "Ok, ok, *ahem* Hahahaha! I will destroy you! And once I do that, I'll make sure I take care of your lil friends," he ended pointing his curved kusari gama towards the deep hole where the girls waited.
Rowen's face turned a scarlet color. "If you touch EITHER of them, I'll make sure you die slowly and painfully," he proclaimed, clenching his fists tightly.
The warlord rolled his eyes. "Well it IS my job, now isn't it? And how do you expect to beat me? You barely killed off ol' Sam the Soldier earlier. Pity."
Tired of listening to Anubis liking the sound of his own voice, everyone attacked at once. Anubis sighed and stood there, not bothering to waste energy on them. He had to go pick up toilet paper at the Stop N' Shop pretty soon. Kento smashed his fist into Anubis' chest, and ended up nearly breaking his knuckles. Ryo and Sage attacked from one side while Cye and Rowen came from the other. Within a second, all four were thrown backwards, Cye holding his knee and Sage trying to re-catch his breath, leaning on White Blaze. Ryo tried to punch him in the face, but Anubis surprised him by grabbing Fireball's outstretched hand and swinging him easily into a nearby wall. Ryo looked up to see the other's fate the same as his.
'Shit, I need a chiropractor,' he thought while standing up, 'We can't hold up too much longer.'
From beneath the street level, Amariie and Rain still waited, only hearing the sound of clanking metal and once in a while seeing the top of someone's head.
Amariie was happily picking out pieces of dirt and pebble from her long hair while Rain sat on the ground, staring at nothing in particular. "This sucks," she stated loudly.
Amariie didn't bother to look at her, but examined a lock of blonde a bit closer. "Tell me about it. I haven't washed my hair in a day! It's gonna get all crappy and greasy, kinda like yours."
"No, I mean the Ron-HEY! I don't have greasy hair!" Rain said while petting her silver tinted hair. "But anyways, I don't think our boys are doing well. We should help them!"
Amariie flipped her newly cleaned hair over her shoulder. "Pssshh yeah uh huh. You must have some sucky-ass memory if you can't recall a few hours ago. Their armored asses can't just be our bodyguard every time we do something stupid," she said while kicking at some random rock.
Rain's eyes turned to surprise. "Armors! We gotta tell them to undo the shield so they can fight!" she exclaimed and rose to her feet.
Blondie gave a questioning look to Rainey. "What armors?"
"The ones they're shielding us with," she explained through clenched teeth and pointing to a translucent image of the Halo armor besides her.
Surprised, she mused, "Oh! Look at that. That'd be a cool lamp in my room."
Rain cupped her hands around her mouth. "HEY GUYS!! PUT ON YOUR ARMORS!!"
Yet Rain was drowned out by the voice of Anubis. He stood amidst the weakened Skittles and raised his kusari gama high. "Quake With..." he began as a whisper. "FEAR!"
Ronins + Kittie stood in surprise, wondering what drug Anubis was on. The long chain rocketed into the cement in front of Ryo. With eyes wide, he shouted to his friends, "Get ready for anything!"
Just as his words left his mouth, the ground beneath them began to quake, well, with fear. Kento grabbed Cye's much smaller body frame for balance, but ended up falling over, yet before they hit the ground, crimson light exploded from the ground and into the skies. One of the beams ran for Kento, catching his fall, but wrapping around him and sending him upwards quite a ways.
"YAAAH!! HIGH! TOO HIGH!" he screamed as he saw the others enjoy the same thing. The physical beams wound around all six, then formed into chains.
Rowen looked around, surprised as hell at their current situation. He tried to grab at the chain that was around his shoulders, but another one slithered around his wrist, making him, as the others, immobile.
The girls looked up to see a few chains over their heads attached to a light post. "Um...what the hell is that?" Amariie asked softly.
"Anubis," Rain answered and turned to her friend. "I think the boys and kittie are screwed. We gotta help now."
Amariie pulled her hair behind her ears. "As long as I don't break a nail, I'm fine."
Rain answered with a smirk and Amariie was about to step outside the protective circle. Just before her foot hit the ground, a gold shaft was shot into the very place she was about to place her foot. Amariie froze. "OMFG if that had hit me, someone would have DIED! MY POOR BOOTS! They've got through enough torture, HAVEN'T THEY?!"
Rain looked at what nearly took off the bitch's big toe as its owner was carrying on with a hissy fit. It was a long, golden staff with an ornamental head with wings and chimes that jingled loudly. She looked up to see where it might have come from. Through the chains, she saw a tiny figure standing atop a visible building.
"Wha-" Rain began, but the staff began clanging louder than necessary. Both girls covered their ears as a bright light began beating from the staff's head. As soon as it came, it was gone and so was the staff. Rain turned around in a circle, seeing the armor images gone.
Above, Sage's face turned to shock. Cye, nearby and hanging nearly upside down, tried to speak, but only got a whisper out. "What is...it, Sage?"
Sage gathered enough breath and shouted as loud as he could. "Ryo! The circle is broken!"
Flambe' painfully tried to turn his head towards Sage, but a chain cutting off air supply held it firmly in place. White Blaze, more towards the ground but also chained up, was busy chewing away at the rusted chains. How? We don't know. Within moments, the chain was broken, causing a chain reaction in the entire web. The five Ronins fell to the ground with a surprised as hell Anubis standing behind them.
Ryo shook off a few broken links. "We can't worry about the girls! Put on your armors, NOW!" he commanded. After the flying petals and toilet paper spectacle, all stood ready in armor.
Anubis was faced with five heavily armored and very pissed warriors. His green eyes flashed fear of being defeated, but was quickly covered by cockiness. He gave his enemies a small smile and lunged towards them. Ryo greeted his forwardness and attacked. Anubis put strength on his side, but Ryo's determination was no match. Ok they fight...and fight some more...lalalala...fight more...punch...kick...
Momentarily out of breath, Ryo and Anubis landed, facing each other and panting like whizzled up sea slugs. They stood there, untimingly (is that a word?) measuring up each other, while a dried wisp of hay rolled by them. Suddenly, Ryo pulled out a gun and fired at Anubis, running swiftly to the right along the building. Anubis, deciding to fuck up the plotline also, pulled out his gun and charged at Ryo. Ryo aimed his West-German Walther P99 and was about to fire when he froze.
"Uhh...time out man. Those spicy Doritos aren't agreeing with me..." With that announcement hanging in the air, Ryo dashed off to the public washrooms (magnificently with running water. Can't have unsanitary conditions). Anubis patiently waited, then suddenly he was pulled out of his vegetable- like state (but ya gotta admit, he'd be one dead sexy vegetable) by a whiny voice. No, not Cale, but more childish and just as annoying.
A young boy with dark hair rolled into view on a skateboard, and right behind him a woman with the UGLIEST, armpit high blue short-things and one of my grandmother's pink shirts. The little twit had high socks, shorts and a sweater.
The boy stopped and gave a stupid smile. "Hey Mia, where's Ryyyyo?" he asked the woman, who had just flicked her hair off of her shoulders.
"I'm not sure Yuli, but I'm pretty sure that we should have been introduced into the plot-line by now." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------The gods, however, were not on the side of Mia and Yuli, and sent forth from the heavens a mighty boot to put an end to their annoyingness. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------
A whistling noise caused the two newcomers to look up, to see... ::squeeeesh!:: a giant boot come down and swish them into jelly.
Oh well.
Ryo came back from the restroom, gave an unsure glance at the giant boot, and continued his battle with Anubis.
Anywho, the other five stood close to Ryo, waiting for the opportune moment for them to jump in. Then at once both fighters jumped in the air, ready for their sure-kills.
Nubis fired first, shouting its name loudly and threw the end of his chain at Ryo's chest. Ryo, not being able to, well, do anything, ended up with his entire chest wrapped with chains. With a new anger inside him, Ryo then focused his big, bad, surekill through the chain. Somehow, this worked, and Nubie-chan only said, "...shit..." then was blown back quite a way. Yup, probably broke a record somewhere. Now by the time, this whole melee ended, Anubis was standing a bit a ways from the group while Ryo was just about dead on the ground.
A small flap of cloth fell from Anubis' armor and he took a deep breath. "I'll have to get Cale to sew this..." he muttered then turned around.
The other five, surrounded their limp leader, who still tried his best to pierce his gaze into the warlord. Anubis checked his watch and grimaced. "I would stay here and kill you all, but I believe someone else has a gift for you. And I have to still go buy some toilet paper. And some deodorant...probably some dental floss, too. Anyways, ta ta." And with that, he disappeared.
Kento looked around for a second and put his staff over his shoulder. "Well, that wasn't too bad."
"Oh shut the hell up," an exhausted Ryo said before collapsing into Sage's arms. Meanwhile, across the street, a peeved Rain was trying to pull a whining Amariie onto the street surface. "STOP! You're gonna rip my DRESS! It cost me A LOT!"
Rain rolled her eyes and readjusted her grip on the blondie's wrist, who was still halfway hanging over the edge of the big hole Nubis created. By the time, she FINALLY got the whiny bitch up, a huge gust of wind flew by. Then another. Then the whole area seemed to be a filled with rushes of air coming from nowhere yet everywhere. Their long hair flew around them, blocking their vision. Rain grabbed ahold of a conveniently nearby street lamp as Amariie held onto Rain's waist.
The winds swept up everything in its path. Rain opener her eyes slightly, then snapped them open when she saw a ridiculously large...tornado coming towards the Ronins. GAWD, a tornado? Didn't Talpa see that 50's movie about not using tornados against fictional elemental warriors for the reason of them being stashed in their element, hence becoming stronger? Whatever.
They both tried to yell at them to get out of the way, but they were drowned out by the sounds of the wind and flying debris. The dumbass boys saw it a bit too late and couldn't escape it. Snatching them up quickly, it exploded, sending five streaks of light in five different directions. Immediately, the wind died, leaving the girls and White Blaze, who didn't feel like getting snatched in a tornado with Ryo, alone. The city had become more desolate than before.
Amariie jogged a few feet and her bright blue eyes darted over the landscape. It was almost midnight and the stars shined more brightly than before, almost as if something had just been restored to it. She seemed drawn to the royal blue endlessness.
She swore that she saw a shooting star that glowed a dull blue streak across the sky. Her thoughts were disrupted by Rain calling out to the Ronins.
"HELLLOOOO! GET YOUR ASSES BACK HERE BEFORE I BARBEQUE THEM!!!" she demanded in a random direction.
Only echoes of her own voice were her reply. Amariie lowered her head and realized that they were alone.
Deep in the dark throne room, Talpa sat all too pleased with himself. In front of him, Badamon stood, awaiting for his master to speak.
"I got to use my tornado! I got to use my tornado! See, Baddy? It worked after all!" Talpa cheered, bouncing up and down in his seat and clapping.
The apparition sighed loudly and drifted off to find some Ritilan in order to deal with his master.
