"Days of Storms and Fire"
Chapter 11
Something silky began to go across the cheek of the emerald eyed boy's face, causing him to twitch slightly, a moan escaping his mouth. He opened his eyes, and looked over, seeing the soft ruby red feathers of the Phoenix looking down at him with it's deep ocean eyes. Dranzer blinked lightly, then he felt something warm pressed against his back. He turned, seeing the silver haired boy, his shoulder finally not bleeding anymore, but if left like it was, it would get infected. The phoenix guardian looked over in front of him to see the slate haired boy laying there, still out from the onsault from Cereberus. The red haired boy tore his own sleeve off, the silk cloth lightly brushing against his skin. He began to remove the bronze eyed boy's shirt so he could clean and wrap his injury. He looked around for a minute, studying their surroundings. They seemed to be back in the area of Phoenix Volcano, but it seemed to be surrounded in a transparent sheet of a starry mist, as if they were in space at the same time. He shook his head, and went back to treating Gabriel's shoulder.
In a identical area with the small sheet of star covered mist, the Turtle God hovered over the purple haired girl that was still unconsious, and the cerulean eyed boy that was starting to regain consiousness. A drop of water dripped onto his cheek, letting him gain the strength to wake up completely. He looked around, thinking he was back in a spacy version of the ocean caves. He blinked heavily, and lifted himself off the ground, and saw that Draciel was completely still, but she was still alive, which made Max sigh in relief. He didn't want to be the one to tell Driger that the girl was dead or something. He looked above him to see the Turtle God looking down at him with the purest Albino eyes he had ever seen. He didn't have his phoenix guardian with him at the moment, and the fire red eyed girl didn't have the silver-gold eyed boy with her as well. He lifted the girl onto his lap, and stayed there, waiting for whatever was going to happen next.
In an area of starry mist covered with deep underground caves, there laid the unconsious neko-jin with the tiger guardian. A slight stir ran through the silver-green haired boy, as he managed to open his eyes, looking over to see the Tiger God watching them. He moved his two colored hair away from his face, and lifted himself up from the ground, looking over at the golden eyed boy next to him. The tiger guardian was still out, but he couldn't blame him, since he was recovering from the blast that Cereberus sent at them. He lifted the raven haired boy into his arms, and kept his glance on the white and green striped tiger kami. His silver gold eyes still seemed to remain like stone, as he looked into the golden slitted orbs that seemed like silk. They seemed to be talking through their eyes, as they looked on, neither one of them blinking.
A pair of firey orange eyes began to flutter open, as he found himself in a star covered version of the Floating Mountain, which made it looked a bit more mysterious than it usually did. He lifted himself off his stomach, only to see the navy haired boy was standing not too far away, looking over at the azure dragon that was laying on the rocks above them, it's blazing eyes keeping a lock with the storm eyes of Tyson. The dragon guardian blinked in confusion, seeing that his koi was already awake since he had passed out inside the Floating Mountain who knows how long ago. He lifted himself to his feet, and walked over to the dragon child, wanting to take the boy into his arms for a little while, until whatever the Beast Gods decided to say what they were planning. The navy haired boy could hear the sound of foot steps behind them, so he made a slow turn, seeing that Dragoon was finally awake. The sea blue haired boy smiled warmly at him, and brought his arms out, as if wanting to take the boy into his arms. The storm eyed boy didn't seem to question it, and he jog-walked over to him, and brought his arms around his koi, laying his head on his shoulder. The way the two dragons were standing there, they seemed to want to stay like that for the rest of their lives, together in each others arms.
As if the entire world around them could hear, the four gods let out a giant cry that caught both the guardians' and the children's attention. They looked over as each of the Beasts began to glow with their certain colored aura. Suddenly, the room around them began to glow a brilliant white, making them cover their eyes in fear of being blind by the magneficiant light. As they slowly began to remove cover from their eyes, they found themselves standing in a huge room, all of them together once again. The phoenix ran over to Max, knowing Gabriel was alright on his own, which the silver haired boy promised he would be. Rei made his way over to his slate haired koi, and the silver-green haired boy made his way over to Draciel, both of them in a loving embrace. The silver haired boy looked up, as he could see the four Beasts above his head, ones that his parents told him about before they passed away. The Tiger, the Phoenix, the Turtle, and the Dragon. He felt a little guilty that he had been brought against them, just because he was born in the year of the silver ram (years in Spirit Ward, I'll explain it in the next chapter). He laid his hand over his arm, as his eyes kept a lock with the creatures. The other children and guardians looked up to look at the four beasts above their heads, as if waiting for them to say something.
Welcome, children of Earth, guardians of Spirit Ward, the child of the silver ram. The tora spoke in a deep silky voice.
The dragon child was the first to speak. "What's happened? What is Cereberus doing now?"
It's sad to say this, child, but Cereberus has already turned into his beast form, and he slowly starting to destroy this world. If continued, Spirit Ward will no longer exist, and he will go to destory Earth as well. The ryu replied, his fangs showing slightly.
We can do very little since we were just released from our prisons in so long, but we can help you defeat the Beast. The phoenix lightly flapped it's ruby wings.
"How can you help us? You just said you could do less than nothing to stop him." Kai interuppted them.
You must choose, young one. The Turtle looked at Kai, Choose one among you to recieve our power so your strong enough to defeat Cereberus. We shall wait as you make your decision.
The four of children of the four gods just stood there with blank looks on their faces. Each of them looked over at the guardians, to make sure they had heard that too. A small nod came from all four of them. Tyson, Rei, Kai, and Max looked at each other, and began to think hard. They could only pick one of them, but they could find strong points in all of them that would be good against Cereberus. Well, asking Tyson was out of the question since he had just broken the seal to the dragon god, and he was in no condition to fight anyone. Kai still had fresh burn marks from when he came out of the volcano, so they wouldn't be any better off with him than if they asked the navy haired boy. They didn't know if asking the cerulean eyed boy was a good idea, since his koi was super protective of him, and he wasn't going to let them do it no matter what they said. They all nodded to each other, seeing they only had one choice of who would gather the four god's power. They turned to the four kamis, seeming a bit confident.
Have you made your decision? The dragon looked into their eyes.
"Yes, we have." The Japanese boy replied.
With that, the black haired neko-jin stepped forward, his golden eyes slit and determined. "I will."
With a quick silence, and a nod from the four beasts, they turned back to the children of the beast gods, You may approach us, young tiger.
The black haired boy looked over at the others, simply looking into the eyes. The navy haired boy simply looked into his golden orbs, as if his eyes were saying 'You can do it, Rei, we believe in you'. He looked in the direction of Max, who's eyes were saying 'Be safe, and come back to us, Rei...'. The neko-jin couldn't help but smile at this. Then, his eyes were then locked with the slate haired boy's, and their gaze seemed to last forever. Kai's eyes seemed to be saying, 'After all that's happened, you better come back, Rei.' A brave smile appeared on the Chinese boy's face, as he turned slowly, and made his way over to the Beast gods. The four animal kamis slowly closed their eyes, as their colored auras surrounded their bodies, and then, faintly started to appear around Rei. As their energy began to flow into his body, it didn't seem to hurt him at all, in fact, it felt as if he was in a deep pool of cool water, and he didn't have to come up to breathe. His golden eyes fluttered close, as he was surrounded by a white aura that seemed to flood the entire room. His hands were placed against his chest, as something began to make it's way out of his back like an arrow.
The others watched as two albino phoenix wings with hints of green streaming through the feathers were spread out of the neko-jin's back. Around his neck was a purple chain with small little water like crystals on it, and a beautiful blue gem that resembled the sapphire in many ways was implanted into one of his black gloves. The guardians, the three other children, and the silver haired boy watched in awe at what the black haired neko-jin looked like as the god's power began to transform his body slightly. The bright hikari finally faded, and they found the two wings were covering the now transformed Rei. With a swift movement, the wings spread, the gemmed purple chain lightly flapping in the breeze that had been created from the wings. The neko-jin slowly opened his eyes, showing they were now a mix of gold with specks of green and red swimming through the liquid gold. He let his eyes glance down at his fingers, which had small demi human claws on them, probably there thanks to the power of both the dragon and tiger. He clentched his hands into fists, as he looked down at the others. The others continued to look at him in awe, especially the slate haired boy. The winged neko nodded to his koi, and then closed his eyes, suddenly vanishing from the void of starry mist.
"Hey, where's he going?" Tyson blinked.
He's now arriving in Spirit Ward, where he will have to go against the fully transformed Cereberus. Came the Turtle's response.
A look of concern appeared in the red eyed boy's eyes, "Be safe, Rei-koi..."
{Spirit Ward}
A flash of brilliant silver appeared, as it faded to show the neko-jin, his multi colored eyes fixing on the sight in front of him. There was a giant five headed beast slowly making it's way through a ruined village, the bodies of innocent people spread around the debrie, lying motionless. Rei frowned, as he looked into the blood red eyes of the dog like beast, as it had the scent of blood and fire covering it's lavender fur. The black haired boy lifted one of his hands, a aura of white-green appearing in his hands, as he gave it a hard toss, as it hit the Dog like beast, making it flinch in slight pain, then turn it's five angry and fang showing heads, as it's red eyes dripped in anger. They fixed on the multicolored eyes of the neko-jin, then turned to face him completely. The Beast growled at the winged boy, his voice loud and booming as it spoke.
SO, THEY SENT YOU TO GO AGAINST ME, NEKO-JIN? A MERE HUMAN WITH THE BORROWED POWER OF THE GODS GOING AGAINST ME? IT ALMOST MAKES ME LAUGH. I WILL ENJOY DEVOURING YOU, AND THAT LOVELY POWER YOU POSSESS.
The golden red-green eyes narrowed, as a silky version of Rei's voice spilled from his mouth, This power is too good for even you, Cereberus, you won't even be able to get a taste of it, since you are going to finally die, and end your reign that has slept these last two decades. The bluish green flames suddenly surrounded his body, For the people you killed, and all the damage you've done to both worlds, I will finish you right here.
