Destiny's Magic
ch 19
"Where is it, where did it go?" Kaye asked in confusion looking at the exact spot where the spell book was resting.
"You mean this?" Dark Lighter asked with a grin while holding onto it. Dark Lighter tossed it between his hands, taunting them, wanting them to come for the book.
"You know, this might have been able to help you against my creature." Grabs the book by the binder and then incinerates it in his hand, and then looks at them with
an evil grin. "Oops, look what I have done. Now you have no way of defeating my creation."
"Great, it's not like we don't have enough problems already." Sage said under his breath in annoyance.
"Well guess what, add one more problem to the scenario." Nara replied with a cruel grin while standing behind them. "It's just not your day, now is it?" Kento and Kaye were about to stand, when Nara emitted an energy wave right at Cye, Rowen, Ryo and Sage, knocking them back a few feet.
"No, guys!" Kaye exclaimed while she and Kento were about to run over towards them.
"Where do you think you two are going?" Dark Lighter asked in a curious tone.
"Our friends need our help, if it's any business of yours? So get out of our way, or we'll plow right through you!" Kento shot back glaring at him angrily.
Dark Lighter grinned, his eyes twinkled from amusement of Kento's ultimatum, "go ahead and try." All of a sudden, two pairs of hands burst from the ground underneath, and grabbed onto Kento's and Kaye's ankles, anchoring them to where they're standing. They tried to break away, but the grips were too strong.
"Having problems?"
"Let them go!" Ryo demanded, glaring at the Dark Lighter while he and the others struggled to try and stand.
Laughter came from behind them, they looked back and saw that Nara was grinning like a cheshire cat. "I'd be more concerned about yourselves at the present
moment." At that instant, Nara put her palms together, did a small chant and then three other copies of herself went in front of each of them. Nara then opened her eyes. The one that was sparring off with Sage did a jump seven hundred and twenty degrees and threw a roundhouse kick and then followed it up with a hook kick at the end, knocking Sage a good twenty feet.
"Sage!" Rowen exclaimed, his eyes went wide in concern. He was about to run to him when the Nara copy that was in front of him blocked his way. Rowen growled at her. She jumps up, both legs do an outside crescent kicks at the same time. Reaching full side-splits as she hits her max height, her attack is completed as she descend landing feet together. Rowen yelled out and flew back, crashing into a tall tree.
"Rowen, no!" Cye yelled but he too was cut off. His opponent did a round house kick done with a jump to Cye's head, making him spin and land on the ground.
"Cye!" Ryo called out to him in concern, he then glared at Nara. "Call them off, now!"
Nara laughed, "you're in no position to be telling me what to do Wildfire." Nara launched off with a scissor kick, but just before she landed, Nara shot out a roundhouse with the leading leg. Ryo flew back and dropped to the ground a few feet away. None of the guys were moving, all of them were out cold.
"Guys! Guys!" Kaye called out to them in concern while she and Kento were stuck in their present situation.
Dark Lighter laughed, "It'll do you no good to call out to them. They can't answer at the present moment. So now the two of you are going to come with us."
"We're not going anywhere with either of you!" Kento growled angrily while he and Kaye were trying to get free.
Nara called back her replicas and started to walk towards them. "Oh, you're going, you don't have a choice in the matter." With that being said, Nara's eyes glowed and risen Kento and Kaye from the ground and towards the fire demon's electric blue chest. The chest started to open up more as they were floating closer to it.
Not too far off, 'why aren't you helping them? Why are you two just standing there?' Lightning asked angrily glaring at them.
'We can't interfere with destiny, no matter how much we want to.' Jia Li replied with a slight frown.
'Destiny is the one that decides their fate, not us.' Shen said sadly looking at Lightning.
'I don't care if it's destiny, fate, tradition or whatever! I'm not going to lose my daughter and son-in-law to some two bit demon lord and his priestess! If you're not going to help them, then I will!' Lightning growled angrily taking off from them.
"Foolish tiger, he's going to get himself hurt or worse with his rash actions." Shen scolded while he and Jia Li watched him go. Shen glanced over towards Jia Li, "don't give me that look. I understand how you feel, and you understand on how I feel as well. But it can't be changed, no matter how much we want it to."
Once Kento and Kaye were inside of the fire demon's chest, Lightning pounced in from out of nowhere roaring in anger. Lightning's roar was enough to start to wake the Ronins that were laying on the ground. They started to slowly move, pushing themselves up, looking up and saw that their friends were captured. "Let them go!" Ryo said angrily while he and the others were starting to slowly stand.
"Hey guys, mind getting us down from here!?" Kento called down to them.
"Hang on you two, we're coming!" Rowen called back to them, and then saying under his breath. "Just as soon as we figure out how."
Nara and Lightning were fighting each other, when all of a sudden Nara decided to pull off her copy trick again. "Lightning, watch out!" Kaye yelled out to the tiger. Nara's copy kicked the tiger straight in the midsection, cracking his ribs, having the tiger cry in pain. The other Ronins' eyes went wide when the tiger flew back and slid for a few feet, finally rolled to a complete stop. He looked up sadly, and then his head dropped to the ground. Nara's copy vanished and she stood there laughing.
"Now that the tiger is out of the way, and we have what we came for. It's time for us to take our leave, come Nara." Dark Lighter said motioning to her for them to leave. "Goodbye, it's been fun, we'd like to stick around and kick you around some more, but we have more important business to take care of." With that they left in a ball of fire, taking their friends with them.
"Sage, how's Lightning?" Cye asked in concern while he was looking over the tiger.
"His ribs are broken, he's lucky that they didn't shatter when she kicked him. I'll be able to heal him, but he'll be out of commission for a while." Sage replied with a frown.
"Do it then, in the meantime, we have to figure out how to get our friends back." Ryo said with a deep frown as his eyes kept focus of where they were before the fire demon took them away. The Inferno armor vanished as he was walking closer to the area. His temper was flaring with every step that he took, until he came to a stop by a tree. He yelled angrily as he grabbed onto his katanas and took a single swipe at the tree. It fell over with a crashing thud, embedding itself into the ground.
"Ryo! Snap out of it!" Rowen said sternly looking at him with a deep frown.
"Rowen, you don't understand! Even with the Inferno, I still couldn't help them!" Ryo growled turning around and glaring at him.
"Just knock it off Ryo! Look, it's not just you that works the Inferno, it takes all five of us to create it. You may wear the armor, but that doesn't mean that we don't feel the same as you! They're our friends too!" Rowen shot back clenching his fists.
"Guys, stop it! Arguing isn't going to help anything. We know where they went, because we've been there before. So all we have to do is come up with a different plan of attack!" Cye said trying to break up their bickering.
"Cye's right, Kento and Kaye are counting on us to get them out of there. But if all you two are going to do is fight each other, then we won't get them out!" Sage pointed out when he finally finished healing Lightning.
Ryo sighed as he closed his eyes, "look Rowen, I'm sorry, I guess that I just lost my head for a second."
"Hey no big deal Ryo. But Cye and Sage do have a point." Rowen replied with a smirk. "We have to put our bickering aside, especially when we going to come up with a way to get our friends back."
