When the Cat Strikes
By Firehedgehog
Chapter Five: Dreams before Release
It had been three weeks since that day, the day Genki had been murdered... and placed in a monster disk to be reborn.
Since that day the now slightly smaller group was traveling hard, they had finally found of a location of a monster Temple.
'Soon' Holly thought, in her hands was Genki's disk. At the moment the Phoenix's disk was in her bag.
'Soon you'll be back and our group will be whole again' she thought, she placed a fond hand on the disks cool surface.
"Chi, I see the temple," Moochi suddenly cried, Holly shook herself out of her musings and came back to reality.
Ahead of them far in the distant, in fact still quite a few hours away was the temple. It looked like a church of some type from what she could tell.
"That's great, if we hurry we can probably make it before nightfall," she said, with that in mind the rebels against Moo began to move faster... they had a friend to revive.
***
While this all happened, Genki dreamed. As he had yet to be reborn from the disk, time meant nothing to him.
Still this dream was strange.
He found himself standing on a street in his home world, from where he stood he watched as strange creatures fought the monsters from the monster world.
"Let me fight them Gen, I need to protect this world as much as my own... as it is your connected to all three with me," a voice cried, Genki sighed as his dream self continued to look at the battle and did not turn to see who was fighting.
"Not yet partner, their doing good and the monster will soon turn to a lost disk... we will only interfere if the darkness starts to win," Genki said; the other voice sighed.
"I know... I only wish we always didn't hide," the voice said, Genki nodded sadly... and the dream began to fade and change.

Genki found himself in a place of ice, he looked around in confusion... but all he saw was the white of ice and snow.
Suddenly the ground began to shake; startled dream Genki spun around and gasped. In the distance a red light shot up into the air. It seemed to sing to his very soul; it was as if it was of courage and energy mixed somehow.
Then a huge ice mound exploded, a beautiful avian cry filled the air with its music.
A huge bird, the phoenix lifted it fire like wings and flew into the sky.
Once again the dream faded and changed.

He found himself floating over a blazing city, above it the Phoenix and a huge evil beast battled above it.
Genki screamed as others screamed; he could feel the death and carnage of the poor humans below.
^You must prevent this... you cannot let this happen^
Genki gasped as a voice said that in his mind.
"But how, I thought the phoenix would stop such happenings... and why is this happening in my home world," Genki cried.
^This will be the final battle between Moo and the Phoenix; that is if you do not help in the final battles. You will be returning to your home world and be a link to three, remember this... one heart can make the difference^ the voice said.
"Wait a minute, they need me to revive the Phoenix... how would they revive it without me?" he asked confused, the Phoenix itself had told him that he was needed to awaken it.
^Panic can make people sacrifice stupid things, like lives to bring one back child. You will have a hard time ahead of you I can tell this, but never give up^ the voice said.
"Thanks... I think," Genki said.
^Good luck Geneko^ the voice said, then with a laugh it was gone.
"Geneko... why is the world did you call me that, hey answer me," Genki yelled in frustration.
He then paused and blinked, a-warmness was covering him and a feeling of life was returning to him.
"I'm being brought back, the others must be at a temple," Genki cried, in front of him a portal appeared and Genki knew it was the way from the dreams and back to life.
Without a second thought he leapt inside it.

"Release!" Holly cried, with those words and using all her energy for this task she pressed down hard on the now glowing stone button.
Light gathered n a single point in the temple, then as it lowered to the ground a bright flash of light filled the air.
Holly and the others shielded there faces as best they could, finally the light faded and they turned to see what monster there friend had begun.
They found themselves looking into emerald green eyes.
"Um... hi," the neo-monster said nervously.

Next Time (Genki's voice): Reborn into the monster world Genki has a hard time adjusting and the others aren't being very accepting of him. The heat is rising, next time on 'When The Cat Strikes'.
FH: Ahhh... I'm so happy. This chapter is much longer then other chapters. If you take a look each chapter in the last file was short compared to this.
R.Calumon: FH is really getting into this, well see you next time.
