Max and Emily watched as the light faded and they blinked. They were nowhere near the museum. In fact, they were in a forest, in the middle of the day. Max's senses, enhanced by the Aquamarine, heard the ocean nearby. He also heard the sounds of something else.
"This is your fault." Emily yelled, turning to Max. Max took a step back in surprise.
"What?" Emily glared at him.
"If you hadn't defied Boris and just die, we wouldn't be here." Max sighed. He didn't wish to fight.
"If it wasn't for Boris, none of this would have happened. Now listen-" Emily interrupted him.
"It doesn't matter what you say, nothing will change anything." Emily yelled. Max got extremely worried.
"Emily, please calm down." Max said quickly. Emily just grew angrier.
"Just shut up now or else I'll-" Max pushed her to the ground and fell with her as a kunai knife flew right at her head. Emily's eyes widened in fear and surprise while slightly blushing.
"What the heck is your problem?" Max yelled at the two males who was behind where Emily once stood. They didn't answer, but started to walk towards them. One had a mask and the other was taller with a huge blade. Max got off Emily, who was still in shock and took out the necklace and the Aquamarine.
"OVERSOUL, INTO THE AQUAMARINE" Max's appearance changed completely. A headband formed around his head with a metal plate and a symbol of a tear drop was on it. He wore a black shirt and vest with pants. On his right pant leg was a kunai knife.
"Max?" Emily sounded frightened and surprise. She started to get up from the ground.
"Let's go." Max moved with amazing speed right at the one with the mask. He jumped up in the air and threw some needles. Max moved to the left as the one with the huge blade blurred to strike. Max quickly launched a spell.
"AQUA LASER" Three shots of water hit the one with the blade making him stumble back. Max moved right at him, not watching his back.
A movement caught Max's eye and he turned right to just be cut by a kunai knife in the arm. Had he turned any sooner, it would have been his spine. Max flipped backwards as he attempted to get behind the one with the mask, but he was too quick.
Max yelled in pain as the kunai knife cut right into his other arm. Blood fell freely from his wounds. Max moved to prepare another spell but a fog floated out of nowhere, covering his field of view. Max looked around desperately, but could see nothing. He then heard something.
"SECRET ART OF WATER, THOUSAND STINGING NEEDLES OF DEATH" Max yelled in pain as many objects struck him. He couldn't see what was hitting him. Then a voice spoke in his mind.
"Use the power of the Aquamarine. This is your element of fighting." Draciel's voice reminded him. Max nodded and looked at his environment. He couldn't see even the trees because the fog was so thick.
"That's it." Max whispered.
"It will be, for you." The voice of the man as they moved to attack. Max's eyes changed colour to deep blue. The fog seemed to shimmer.
"Create a torrential vortex and engulf the evil spirits. TIDAL WAVE" The fog transformed into water and then into a typhoon. The two men were instantly visible and they lost their action in their shock, starting their downfall
The typhoon engulfed the two and threw them around for a bit.
"Let us go." The one with the huge blade yelled. Max smiled.
"Alright, if you insist." Max released the typhoon and the two of them crashed into a tree. They hit the ground.
"How could this be?" The man groaned. Max smiled.
"The fog is made up of water droplets and my skills allow me to control water. You unwittingly set up your own demise." The two men staggered to their feet.
"Leave now." Max said as they started to walk slowly towards him. Max took out his kunai knife. He didn't want to admit it but that last spell took a lot out of him and his wounds were releasing blood heavily.
They quickly disappeared in smoke. Max collapsed onto the ground. Emily rushed over, having watched the battle from the woods. She took Max in her arms. He smiled weakly at her.
"Looks like it's time for you to finish your orders." Emily shook her head.
"No, I'm free." The glazed look in her eyes disappeared, replaced by a caring look.
"Emily. I-" His voice instantly went quiet.
"Max, what is it?" Emily stared at him.
"Someone's coming." Max looked towards the trees. She took her racquet in one hand while keeping Max held up in her other hand.
"They are close." Max started to sound more faint. He was losing conscious. The Oversoul disengaged from his body, yet the clothes didn't disappeared. Emily looked even more worried. She heard a sound.
"Who's there?" Emily sent every scrap of Mana inside of her into the Oversoul.
Four people walked towards them. They all had the same headband that Max had except a different symbol on the metal part.
"State your name and your purpose." Emily felt the same kind of power radiating from Max.
"My name is Emily and we are looking for food and shelter." Emily spoke quickly. The four people glanced at each other. Emily studied the four of them. There was a blond boy with an orange jacket and pants. There was a pink haired girl and a black haired boy beside him. Behind both of them was a man that had only one eye visible on his face as the rest was covered up. He seemed to be the leader.
"Come this way." The man said as he looked towards the black haired boy. He nodded and picked up Max with ease. The man turned to her.
"You can let go of that, you know." Emily looked surprised and disengaged her Oversoul on her racquet. She put it in the case she had around her.
"What's your name?" The pink haired girl asked. Emily was slightly reminded of Mariah.
"Emily. What about you?" The pink haired girl smiled.
"Sakura. That's Sasuke," She nodded towards the black haired boy, "That's Naruto," She looked towards the blond boy, "And this is Master Kakashi." She finally looked towards the covered one eye man.
"We came here after we heard a battle and saw a huge fog. We are ninjas." Sakura said, indicating her headband.
"What happened here? Your friend is also wearing one of the headbands. I don't recognize the village symbol though." Sakura asked looking at Max's unconscious body and the headband that he now wore.
"It's a long story." Emily looked at Max again. Kakashi walked over to Sasuke and studied the headband.
"I recognize this. This symbol is the ancient symbol of the Aquamarine Clan that once ruled the lands. They were the strongest in the ninja arts and started the other clans. They disappeared so long ago and so suddenly that we only have stories of it. They say that the return of the Aquamarine would affect the entire world." Kakashi looked up.
"We have to move. Let's head back to the bridge. Emily, you will need to explain everything to me."
(Tyson)
"Owe." Tyson groaned as he got up. All he could see was complete darkness around him.
"Am I dead?" Tyson asked himself.
"Well, in a sense, yes." A female voice said. A blue haired woman appeared out of nowhere.
"Who the hell are you?" Tyson asked jumping back, his hand on his sword. The woman laughed.
"No need to slice and dice, I'm Botan, guide of the dead." Botan said as Tyson gaped at her.
"So, I'm dead." Tyson said slowly
"Not really. I can't explain anything here. I'll take you to Koenma. He'll know what to do."
The darkness around them disappeared and then they appeared in front of a huge temple.
"What the-?" Botan grinned at Tyson's shock.
"Come on. He's expecting us." Botan walked in and Tyson followed. They walked to a desk. The chair behind the desk turned to reveal a baby.
"Wait, I thought we were seeing this Koenma, not a baby." Tyson said.
"Who are you calling a baby?" The baby exploded angrily. Tyson jumped back in surprise. Botan grinned.
"Tyson, meet Koenma, your new boss." Botan smiled happily. Tyson looked to stare at her.
"What do you mean?" Tyson asked in fear. Koenma looked at Tyson more carefully.
"Yes, he will do." Tyson turned to him now.
"What do you mean, 'he will do'." Tyson didn't like where this is going.
"Tyson, congratulations. You are the newest Spirit Detective." Botan said smiling. Tyson fell over in a dead faint.
(Ray)
"I hate trends." Ray groaned as he hit the ground. Even though he landed on his feet, it still hurt.
"Now where am I?" Ray looked around to see he was high up, judging by the fact that all he could see was cloud. Ray saw he was standing on a huge platform with a building on it. Ray was standing near the edge. Ray looked over the edge of the platform.
"Okay, no bungee jumping." Ray couldn't see the ground. Ray's senses instantly picked up on something. Not his normal senses but a completely new one.
"What the-?" Ray felt huge energy coming from somewhere else.
"Let's see. Right there." Ray focused on the energy force so hard he never realised he left the platform. A second later he was in a desert where there was a fighting ring. In the middle was a creature, not moving until he turned to look at him.
"Who are you?" The tone was full of arrogance and had no kindness in it. Ray felt overwhelming power coming from this creature.
"The Games are starting in an hour, so wait until then, whoever you are." Ray felt anger rise in him and the Ruby in his hand flashed slightly. The creature's attention instantly turned to the Ruby.
"What the heck is that?" The creature asked. Ray didn't answer. He realised that the Ruby's power had not been released yet. He knew it was on the edge of release however.
"Are you a mute and do you know who you're dealing with?" The creature said angrily. This time Ray answered, keeping his voice even.
"No, I'm not a mute and I don't know who I'm dealing with. Why don't you tell me?" The creature smirked.
"Give me your name and I'll give you mine." Ray's mind thought fast. Was this part of the training for the next stone?
"Ray Kon." Ray said calmly.
"Cell." Cell said coolly. "I've never seen you or that stone before and you also teleported here. You obviously have much power, judging by the fact that you're not strained yet releasing a lot of power." In truth, Ray was straining to keep the Ruby under control. But he would not let Cell know that.
"What are these 'Games'?" Ray asked. Cell smirked.
"It's a competition between me and the strongest competitors this planet has to offer. I'm expecting someone, but you hold the same potential as he does. If no one can beat me, I kill everyone on the planet." Ray took a step back.
"You joking me." Ray said angrily. Cell smirked.
"Where have you been? You haven't heard about the monster who massacred a few cities and absorbed the humans inside of them. That was me and I'm having these games so that I can prove I'm the best." Ray was bursting in anger. The Garnet glowed brightly. Cell watched him, amused before looking away.
"Well, well. Looks like there is human media here." Ray's eyes snapped to a few humans coming closer to the ring. One was holding a camera. Cell rolled his eyes.
"Why must idiots get in the way?" Ray smirked.
"That's what makes them idiots." The reporter started yammering to the camera, talking about some man called Hercule or something. Ray turned to the sound of a car and the reporter started to get more excited. A man got out of the car.
"What is that insect?" Cell said looking at the man. Ray studied the man, letting his heightened six senses scan over him.
"Pathetic." Cell said coldly. Ray hated to agree but it was true. This guy had nothing but complete stupidity. Cell turned away and looked at something.
"16. What a surprise. You've been repaired." Ray stared as a giant man flew through the air and landed. The man said nothing. Ray's sense picked up something.
"Vegeta. Hope he's improved." Cell said as another man landed a few feet away from Ray.
"Who are those guys?" The reporter had come down to the ring and was trying to talk to Vegeta. He glared at them and told them to shut up. Ray smiled, reminded of Kai.
"Who are you?" The reporter was up in his face with 1 m distance from each other.
"Why are you here? Are you here to compete? Why is your hair in a ponytail?" Ray didn't answer but turned his attention to the eastern skies. The same happen with Vegeta, Cell, and 16. Cell smiled.
"Son Goku, you've arrived."
(Kai)
"Of all the places I ended up in, it happens to be in a forest." Kai said as he flew through the forest, his phoenix-like wings glowing brightly.
"It's weird. Ever since I got here, I seem to have been more in tune with the area." Kai froze up as he sensed something.
"I feel a disturbance." Kai flew upwards and looked to the east. A temple stood in the distance. Kai felt something wrong with the temple.
"I know I may regret this, but I'll check it out." Kai sighed as he flew forward, the wind sweeping over his face.
Kai landed and his wings disappeared. Kai took out his staff and switched it to double sided mode. Kai moved quietly as he went to the other side of the temple.
Kai stared at a woman and a few men standing at the temple. The woman was pointing a staff at the temple and it was shooting a ray at the temple. Kai had a pretty bad feeling about this.
The woman's attention turned to the left, opposite of where Kai was and pointed the staff towards there. A cry sounded as someone was knocked back. Kai instantly took advantage.
A blast of fire shot out of his staff, knocking the woman and the other men back. Kai blurred forward, taking out two of the men. The others turned but they had no time to react as they were sliced and diced. Kai turned to the woman.
"You know, attacking someone isn't nice." The woman glared.
"You have no idea what you got yourself in to." Kai smirked.
"You obviously don't know who I am." Kai said, laughing.
"Who are you?" The woman started to get worried.
"My name is Kai, guardian of the Garnet, and the bringer of your downfall."
This fic will be down for awhile until my inspiration gets back up. Guess the four places that each group went to and I'll update quicker.
