A Breath of Fire Story

Chapter 4

Part 6:Boss battle and past revealed.

Kipper whipped out his pole faster than lightning.

"EEK! What is that thing!" Nirra cried as she looked at the monster.

"Why are you asking me? I don't have a clue." Kipper answers.

Nirra pulls out her wand, Rosco pulls out his wand, Reina pulls out her bazooka, and so on. After about five minutes of normal attacks; "Rosco, this is no regular monster. We'll have to transform." She stated.

"You're right, let's do it!" The dragon twins suddenly were surrounded by black electricity. When it cleared they were in the dragon form called Warrior.

Kipper looked at them in surprise. "Well, no use keepen it a secret any longer." Kipper whispered to himself. Suddenly the same black electricity surrounded him within seconds.

When it cleared his arms and legs were blue. His hair grew and had blue light brown hint. He had a tail that flicked back and forth, and wings coming out of his back. He too was in the dragon form Warrior, he was Brood.

Nirra and the others almost stopped fighting in the surprise. This was really unexpected, but there was no time to ponder this. They used the move Aura and the boss was dead in no time. But, damage had been dealt on them ,too. It had many weird attacks, that dealt heavy damage. They were sore and really tired.

"Ok, who's hurt?" Nirra asked.

Everyone said me. After she healed everyone she turned to Kipper, as did everyone else.

"Kipper, how come you never told us you were Brood?" Nirra asked.

"Why didn't you tell me you were Brood?"

"...."

"What I thought. I was going to tell you before that thing showed up. Anyway, it's about time I told you everything."

~ Flash Back ~ \ I was pole training with my father. I had a grey pole. The one I use now is my father's. I was learning the ultimate defense that almost nobody can break through. Father is a great mentor, he's tough but fair.

Mother doesn't fight, it's not her. I am a very quick learner. We did not know it at the time but we were watched by a very crazy thing.

Mother was just finishing up dinner when we came in. It was leftover fish from the day before. I was hungry, the training's tough, remember?

We had just finished our meal when the thing barges in our house and pulls out a spear and kill's my mother.

"MOM! What did you do that for?" I cried.

"Shut up dragon brat." He swung the spear at me. I moved out of the way from the blade on the spear, but I was still struck by the metal body of the spear, and was flung into a wall.

My father went on the offensive, but the thing was way to strong. It killed my father before he could even defend himself.

I pick up my father's pole and went on the defensive. I was able to block most of his attacks. I them move into the ultimate defense. The thing somehow managed to break through it. I then realized that I couldn't win and fled from battle.

~~~~~~ End of Flashback ~~~~~~

"Don't this just beat all." Said Makas.

"I'm so sorry to hear that Kip." Said Nirra.

"It's ok. I feel a little better now that I've talked about it." Kipper said, giving a small smile.

Reina turns her head and notices a city off in the distance. "Hey! Why don't stop at that city and sleep in the inn." Reina suggested.

"Why not." Said Kipper.

~~~~~~~ Part 7: The Strange Woman ~~~~~~

The group walks into the town. Just then a cheerful, oddly dressed woman steps out infront of them.

"Ello there. Wanna buy somma the cloths I made?" The woman had a county accent.

"It can't hurt to look, could it?" Nirra asked.

Huge mistake on there part. These cloths were the most strangest things they had ever seen. She appeared to always have Teepo try on the things.

"Oh this would look perfect on ya." She said, holding up various up to him. All of the cloths looked very strange.

"No, that's ok, I don't want anything." Teepo said, backing away slowly from the strange woman.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The group walks up to the inn. "I'm very sorry but all of the rooms are taken." Said the in keeper.

"Oh no! I really wanted to stay!" Nirra said in a upset voice.

"Looks like we'll spending another night in a tent." Kipper said with an agitated sigh. "Let's go. No sense in staying." Replied Teepo. The group left.

The group was just about to leave the city, when the woman they met at the front of the city stops them.

"Where ya'll headen?" She asked.

"We are leaving because the inn is all filled up. We have a tent we are going to set up." Said Teepo.

"Ya'll are welcome ta stay with me."

Nirra immediately perked up, but Teepo spoke.

"We wouldn't want to be a bother."

"Naw, it's okay with me. Yins kin stay." Said the woman.

"Thanks." Said Teepo, and the woman leads them to her house.

"Um, just what is your name?" Teepo asked the woman.

"Name's Madelline. What's yurs?"

"I'm Teepo." Pleasure ta meet ya, Teepo." Said Madelline.

"Nice to meet you too, Madelline." Said Teepo as the two shook hands.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They then arrive at the house. It was huge, well big compared to the other houses in the city.

"Okay, Everyone pick a room." Said Madelline.

There was almost a room for all six of them, but someone was going to have to sleep on the couch.

"I'll sleep on the couch." Said Kipper. Kipper sat down and gave a small sigh. The couch was definitely more comfy than the sleeping bags in the tent.

Once he had a rock underneath his spot in the tent. He was very sore when he had woke up, but the couch was like sleeping on the softest bed in the world compared to that. He knew that a bed would be more comfy, but he really didn't mind.

"So, who are the kids? Are they yurs" Madelline asked.

"No, they are the children of former friends of mine. Well everyone accept that one." Teepo said, pointing at Kipper.

"Well, aren't you kids gonna tell me yur names." Madelline asked the group of children that were chatting on her couch.

"I'm Reina."

"I'm Makas."

"I'm Rosco."

"I'm Nirra."

"I'm Kipper."

The children said and went on with whatever they had been talking about.

Kipper let out an amused laugh. "So you ether said mama or dada as your first words hu? Not me!" Kipper said, smiling.

"So, what was your first word?" The others asked in unison.

"Fish."

"FISH!?" The kids shouted.

"Ya, it was real amusing. I ran around the house all day yelling fish.

That Merchant Manillo just happened to stop that day. I walk to to him and say fish. He laughs at me then picks me up. Fish. I said again. Mom tells me to behave. She also says my name. Then Manillo says I'm the fish. I point to myself and shake my head, then i pointed at him and said fish again. I'm telling you it was really funny." Kipper said, trying to hold in his laughter.

Teepo noticed that this was the first time that Kipper had laughed the whole time he was with them. He also noticed that the boy seemed to be very alert. Even as he told them about his past, he always seemed to be looking over his shoulder, as if he was expecting something bad to happen. "Ok everyone. It's lights out." Said Teepo.

The group of kids groaned and went to their rooms. Kipper fell asleep on the couch. He still seemed tense. Almost as if he were afraid to sleep. "Poor kid. Wonder what could have scared him that bad. Could it be that 'Thing' he had told us about. The one that killed his parents?" Teepo pondered this for a few minutes then went off to bed.

The next morning the group was getting ready to leave when Madelline rushes up to them.

"Can I come, too." Madelline asked.

Teepo gives a small sigh. "Sure, but you are welcome to leave if things get to rough for you." Teepo answers. The group of seven leave the town.

Shout outs:

Darth: I see your point with the Teepo part, but I think you misunderstood. Think about it. You are supposed to be dead and then many years later wake up to find yourself alive. I know I'd be confused.
