It was 1603 and the high point of the year in the Himitsu village. The village was 'on fire' with the awaiting of the new year. But in this hidden place there was not only excitement but also fear. The fear was inflicted by evil doers in which promised to condemn the good people of the village. Why? That is a mystery. But there was hope in this anxious, fearful town; they were named the Dragon Soldiers or the Chosen Ones. Their powers were said to surpass any evil and bring light to the earth. This is their story.
(High Priest's Temple)
"Miya, sister!" A boy called from the darkness of a long hallway outdoors.
"Yes Kazuki-san?" The young girl, Miya, answered the boy. Miya wore a glistening, long white kimono that all of the highest ranked virgin maidens in the village wore. She was but 14 years of age, a mere child of the village; but she still inherited more power than anyone would expect.
"It is a beautiful night, is it not?" Kazuki asked as he stood by his sister's side on a balcony overlooking the village. Kazuki was his sister's twin, and they were so close to each other that sometimes they could even hear each other's thoughts. Kazuki had blonde hair, as did his sister. That night he was wearing his least favorite outfit, his dark green kimono. It was what the male Chosen Ones were supposed to wear during the day, but he had yet to change out of it.
"Hm, yes, yes it is." Miya replied.
"The fight will be hard tomorrow, yes?"
"Of course. I feel a little strange though." The girl looked down. Her twisted locks of blonde hair covered her face so that they cast a shadow over it.
"Hey," Kazuki reassured her, "We'll beat those assholes, just wait and see."
"Kazuki!" Miya slapped her brother upside his head. "Don't use such vulgar language unless you would like the same condemnation to rain down on you!"
"Oww, that hurt."
"I sure hope so!" Miya chuckled.
They both began laughing..
"Hahaha..." Kazuki's voice drifted off suddenly and then he looked back out onto the Himitsu village.
"What is it brother?" Miya placed her hand on her brother's shoulder.
"Why? Why do we have to be the One's? God, we're only 14! What if we die?! What if innocent people die because of us?! What if I lose you?!" Kazuki cried out. One single, glittering tear fell from his eye.
"Kazuki-san..." Miya's voice trailed away, "You have no need to worry for all of us, we will be fine." She grabbed his upper arm firmly.
"Don't you get it sis'?! Life is the only thing we have to live for! You are my other half! You're my friend and not only that, but my family. If I lose you, I lose my life!" Kazuki broke down in shuddering tears.
"Oh Kazuki...I understand, but you can't let that get in our way. We must be prepared not only mentally and physically but also emotionally. If we aren't then you can go ahead and say goodbye to us all." Miya reminded him harshly.
"I can't do this!" Kazuki pushed her away and ran down the walkway to his chamber.
"Hm..." Miya turned back around and looked over her balcony onto the village once again, her blue eyes threatened to weep as Kazuki's had. "Come on out Nanashi, if that is you."
"How do you know of me?" A boy, not but a year older than Miya, jumped from the rafters of the balcony. He was wearing all black; a ninja's vest and long, black, baggy trousers.
"Are you not one of the Chosen Ones?" Miya replied still facing the village before her.
"I believe." The boy, Nanashi, spoke slowly, "So how did you know I was here?"
"Let's just call it a sixth sense." Miya chuckled.
"Hm, sure." Nanashi huffed. And then he leaped onto the roof and, for all anybody else would think, was gone.
"I know you're still there." Miya raised an eyebrow, "If you need a place to stay, there is a room waiting for you on the northern entrance of the temple house. You may go if your will chooses to do so."
Miya then calmly walked to her room leaving the night and Nanashi to themselves.
"Tch..." Nanashi rolled his dark eyes. He gave it a second thought and went over to the room to see what was so great about it. "Just as I thought." He looked through the fogged up windows, "Just one of those rich rooms with silk sheets and fancy furniture, not my style at all." And Nanashi jumped into the trees of the dark woods and disappeared.
(Battle Field, Next Day)
"Aahh! Genesis reveal your glory!" Miya called out. Her skin was scarred with bruises, and blood dripped from her arms and face.
All of her best of friends, brought together by the power of dragons, stood behind her readying themselves to fight for her and the world.
It was the day. The prophecy had come true. War and death had struck out onto the land. Even the strongest warriors were not strong enough to defeat the evil. The land was full of blood shed.
Suddenly, a bright light shone from the charm hanging from Miya's neck. Suddenly, another light shone from the sky and the heavens opened up. From out of the clouds came a creature like none other. The body of the immense animal was full of shimmering, crystal scales. Its eyes were baby blue but had a vengeful glare in them. He had four legs and two long, broad wings. This was the legendary dragon Genesis, the dragon that was said to be one of the most powerful beings in the universe, and Miya was the chosen one to wield it's mighty forces.
The lights dimmed and Genesis was ready for battle.
"Genesis! Attack Draco with your Light of a New Beginning!" Miya ordered the dragon. It agnologed with a low growl.
The dragon opened its immense jaws, unleashing, not fire, acid, or water, but a large blue sphere of light on the vile hydra before him. The sphere only severed three of the creatures heads. In their places grew five more!
"What!" Miya gasped.
"Hahahaha," the hydra laughed at the Dragon Senshi. "Do you truly think you can kill me?" He mocked them.
"She may not, but we can!" Came voices from behind Miya.
"Huh?" Miya turned around, "Are you all sure you're ready?"
"Yeah like we'd just leave you here to be killed?" Kazuki stated.
"What are you children doing? You'll never ruin me!" The hydra looked to the sky, "You're not the only one's with reinforcements!"
"What?!" They all shouted.
"Come my followers!" He yelled, and as if raining from the sky, dragon's of all dark colors and types came down, "Attack!"
"Attack!" The group of kids ordered their dragon companions as well. All hell broke loose once more!
"STOP!!" A human like shadow from the forest appeared. All had stopped on the field. For once in the past three hours all was quiet.
"Another victim!" The hydra chuckled and broke off the silence.
"Draco! Shut up you bastard!! I have something to show you and your Hell Warriors!" The boy stepped from beyond the trees.
"Heh! Sure," Draco replied, "let's see it then."
"Amna-shiu inata sushika..." His voice drifted off then returned. "Animo tegushi monato..."
'That's the ancient language! No one in the village knows it, so who is this?' Miya thought to herself, 'Wait! There is one person who knows the sacred texts! Nanashi! He's here! He came!'
"Shinoti ano bosuki eno EROTOSE!" He shouted.
"Hah! Look at this! He knows the ancient scrolls! But wait, nothing happened? Why it looks as if you have NO IDEA WHAT YOU'RE DOING!" Draco laughed out hysterically.
But then something did happen! Draco began to hover into the air without effort.
"What! It worked?!!" Draco was stunned and his guard let down.
Then, all of a sudden, a shockwave struck the area. It caused Draco's followers to explode on impact but everyone else was unaffected
"No!" Draco shouted, "I can't be defeated!"
"Maybe not, but no one ever said that your powers couldn't be sealed away temporarily now did they?!" Nanashi retorted.
"So is true," strangely, Draco agreed. "But I warn you! I will be back!!"
"I'm sure," Nanashi clapped his hands together twice and looked to the sky. From out of the crimson clouds came black orbs that pierced through Draco's body one by one. From the holes left in his body by the orbs came streams of light the color of blood until there was nothing left of him. Then the dark clouds opened up and the sun's light shone on the land again like a new beginning. The Dragon Soldier's companion dragons returned to their resting places in the heavens.
Miya and her friends collapsed, "Why, am I so tired all of a sudden Nanashi-san?"
"I sorta had to use some of everybody's energy to conjure up the powers for my attack," Nanashi scratched the back of his neck humorously. "I've gotta go."
"Wait!" Miya called out to the handsome young ninja.
"Heh, you'll be fine," he gave a suave smile. There was a small breeze that blew against his raven black hair. Nanashi leaped away back into the forest.
Miya fainted where she stood. But before she awoke from her blackout, she felt another's soft lips brush over her own......
