Author´s note: Finally I found some time to write chapter 3! In this chapter Anjali and Hilary will show their true powers they used to keep hidden. How will the Bladebreakers and especially Kai and Tyson react to that? I wanted the girls to explain everything, but then I decided to keep this for the next chapter.
DON´T FORGET TO REVIEW!! And thanks to all the people who reviewed last time!
The blue tattoo - First battle
The next day the Bladebreakers decided to show Anjali the town. "Where do you want to go first?",Tyson asked. "I don´t know. I let you decide.",Anjali answered. "Then let´s go to "Paolo´s Pizza" to eat something.",Tyson said. "But we ate just an hour ago!",Hilary complained. "That was so long ago? It´s really time to get something to eat!",Tyson said. "Later Tyson. First we have to show Anjali the town.",Kenny said. "Why don´t we show her our school?",Hilary said. "Why do you want to show your sister the most boring place in the world?",Tyson asked. "I think it´s interesting.",Anjali said. "WHAT?",everybody asked. (I don´t understand her either) "Well, in Menfi, where I lived, there is no public school. Most of the kids don´t get any education. I was lucky and was educated in the temple. But I´d really like to know how a real school looks like.",Anjali explained. "There´s really no school? But what do the kids do all day long?",Max asked, as they started their way to the school. "Well, the very little ones play on the streets or in the desert, but the older ones have to help their parents to work on the fields.",Anjali said. "That sounds like they´re living like thousand years ago.",Ray said. Anjali nodded. "It´s exactly like that. We even wear clothes like the old egyptians did. When I got to Cairo I really thought that I was send to another time. But I really loved the way of living there." "Do the people in your town know, that there´s a modern world outside?",Daichi asked. "Of course they do! Right Anjali?",Hilary asked, but her sis shoke her head. "Not everybody. To say the truth, the majority believes that all cities are like Menfi. We live very far away from all the big cities. We´re almost in the desert. If there wasn´t the nile, we couldn´t survive." "That sounds so cool. I really want to see Menfi one day.",Max said. "I´m happy to hear that, but the priests don´t like strangers. They don´t want Menfi to become a place for tourists.",Anjali said. "Why?",Tyson asked. "You have to know, that the majority of the temples that were build for the egyptian gods are in Menfi. For example the temple of Hathor, of Isis, of Ra, of Seth and of Thot (That´s not true. There are very little temples in Menfi and the city is not like in my story. But it´s one of my favourite places in Egypt and I wanted to use it in my story.) We´re the only city that still has the ancient religion. The priests believe, that tourists might destroy our sacred places. And maybe they´re right. The gods wouldn´t like it, if hundreds of people would go in and out of their temples without showing respect.",Anjali said. "So you really believe in that fairytales?",Kai asked. "They´re no fairytales!",Anjali and Hilary said angrily. "So you believe in the egyptian gods as well, Hilary?",Daichi asked. "Well...you know...Hey, there´s the school!",Hilary said quickly and pointed at the big building some meters in front of them. "Wow! It´s really big.",Anjali said as they arrived in front of it. "How many pupils do you have here?" "A little more than 800.",Hilary answered. "800?! In the temple we were only 15!" "Okay, now we spend enough time at this horrible place. Let´s go to the pizzaria!",Tyson said and turned around. "You´re such an idiot!",Hilary shouted and hit him on the head. "What was that for?",he asked. "You exactly know what it was for!",Hilary answered and so they started arguing as they always did. "Typically Tyson and Hilary.",Max said. "They´ll never stop that.",Ray added. "They are like stupid little kids. I really don´t know why I´m wasting my time on them",Kai said. Anjali had to smile. "I think I know why.",she thought. She closed her eyes for a moment, but she opened them just a second later and looked to the left. "What´s up Anjali? Is there anything or anybody?",Max asked. Even Tyson and Hilary stopped their fight to see what was going on. "I hear the sound of a river.",Anjali said. "We have a river here and it´s not very far away, but how did you manage to..." "Can we please go there?",Anjali asked, before Kenny could finish his sentence. "Of course." And so they went to the river. When they arrived there, Anjali said: "It´s so small. The nile is much, much bigger."
"Yeah, well that´s beacause...",Kenny was about to start an explanation, when they suddenly heard a scream. "What was that?",Max asked. "Someone must be in trouble.",Ray said. "We´ve got to help.",Tyson added and so they ran to the place where the scream came from. Only Hilary and Anjali stayed behind. "Maybe it was wrong to come here.",Anjali said sadly. "No, it wasn´t.",Hilary comforted her. "Do you really want to do this again? I mean, I´m used to it, but you. You didn´t do if for 9 years now. And it´s a lot harder than before." "Don´t worry. I´ll be fine. So, let´s start." "Yeah, let´s start." Both girls took out their necklace on which was an ancient egypt symbol. It was the same symbol they had on their arm. They closed their eyes and spoke an egyptian spell: "Please, oh gods of egypt, lend us some of your power to fight the evil that is threatening our world. Give us strenght enough to beat them, so your sacred light might shine again." (I´m so sad that i couldn´t write it in egyptian. But if someone knows how to do it, please tell me!) Then the blue tattoo on their arms began to shine and then they were surrounded by a blue light and when it faded, both didn´t wear the same clothes anymore, but short, white egyptian dresses with short trowsers. They had a thin, tight golden belt and golden bracelets. They just looked like two egyptian goddesses. (Spoilers!) They looked at each other and smiled. "Like in the old times, huh?",Anjali said. Hilary nodded. And so they followed the others, but they didn´t run, but jumped from roof to roof of the nearby houses. Meanwhile the Bladebreakers have reached the place where the scream was comming from and they couldn´t believe what they saw. There was a big monster, looking like an elephant. (Don´t laugh! Elephants can be dangerous, especially when they are monsters) "What´s that?",Daichi asked. "Maybe they are making a movie here.",Tyson proposed. Suddenly the monster saw them and was ready to attack them. "I think you´re wrong, Tyson.",Max said. The elephant-monster took some water from the river and tried to attack the Bladebreakers (Water can also be dangerous), but they avoided the water somehow. They escaped one attack after another, but after some time they became tired. "We´ve got to get out of here.",Ray said. "I´d really like to Ray, but I´m even too tired to stand up.",Kenny said. "I wonder where Hilary and Anjali are.",Kai thought. "But I bet they will appear soon." And he was right (like in every chapter). The elephant-monster attacked again and the Bladebreakers were sure, that this was the end for them and so they colsed their eyes to await the water, but then, out of nowhere, two shadows appeared and the water never hit them. Slowly they opened their eyes and saw, that Hilary and Anjali managed to block the water with two stafs. "Ready?",Anjali asked her sister and Hilary nodded. Both girls jumped high into the air and let the stafs disappear. Then Hilary closed her eyes again and said: "Oh Hathor, great goddess, please let the element water obey me." A small ball of water appeared in her hands. "Water, I order you to turn into ice and to destroy the evil creature, which dares to appear in this world!" And with that the waterball turned into ice and then a beam of ice shot out of it and hit the monster, which fell to the side. "Now it´s up to you!",Hilary said to Anjali. Now it was Anjali´s turn to close her eyes and she spoke: "Oh Isis, mother of Horus, give me the power of the element fire." A small fireball appeared in her hands. "Now, fire, show your true power and burn down this unworthy creature of the dark!" From the fireball shot a gigantic firestorm, which burned the monster down completely. (I know, it sounds brutal, but it happens in almost every Anime) Both girls landed on the ground in front of the Bladebreakers. They were looking at the girls, like if they were Aliens. "Hilary and Anjali?",Tyson asked. The sisters nodded. "You´ve got a lot to explain.",Kai said. They girls transformed back and nodded. "But it´s better to go home fot that.",Hilary said. "It´s gonna be a long story.",Anjali added. "We have all time we need, but we want to know the whole truth.",Kai said angrily, turned around and started going back to the dojo. The others followed, Anjali at the very end.
"Why do I feel like if I did something bad? In fact, we saved their lifes. They could be a little grateful.",Anjali thought. At this moment Tyson went to her side and said: "Hey, Anjali! Thanks a lot. Without Hilary and you we would be gone by now. You really did a great job. And the way you called the fire out was very cool. Maybe you could show me how to do it." Anjali looked at him confused, but then she had to smile. But the smile disappeared immediately. "But it wasn´t right to keep this powers hidden from you. Kai´s very angry and I bet he´s not going to be nicer when we´re at the dojo.",she said. There was a short silence, till Tyson finally whispered: "I´ve got an idea." "Yeah?" "Mind having a walk with me?",he asked. Anjali didn´t understand. "But Kai wants us to explain everything." "Don´t worry. Hilary can handle this. Or don´t you want to take a walk with me?" "I´d really like to.",Anjali said with a smile. "So, let´s go." "But the others..." "Oh, come on. They won´t even notice us disappearing." "Okay." They walked some meters, walking more and more slowly and on the next street Tyson turned right as fast as he could and pulled Anjali with him. They waited a few seconds to see, if the others would notice it, but they didn´t. They continued walking without saying a word. "Perfect.",Tyson said. "And where will we go now?",Anjali asked. "To my favourite place.",Tyson said. "And where is it?",Anjali asked curious. "That´s a secred.",Tyson said with a mysterious voice. "But we´re not going to "Paolo´s Pizza", are we?" "No. You´ll love this place, I swear. But we have to hurry, otherwise we´ll miss the best moment.",Tyson said, took Anjali´s hand and started going. Because he was looking at the way he didn´t see Anjali blush and she was really happy about it. "He´s so handsome and so nice and so... What are you thinking Anjali? Are you getting crazy? You were never interested in boys and now...I met him yesterday, but still my heart is beating like crazy when he holds my hand like this. What´s going on with me?" That were the thoughts she had all way long. She didn´t even notice where Tyson was taking her to. Suddenly Tyson turned around and said: "Close your eyes for the rest of the way." "What?" "Don´t ask, just do it." "But I might fall." "Don´t be afraid. I´ll guide you and if you fall down I´ll catch you, okay?" Her blush grew even wider and Tyson had to smile. "She looks so beautiful when she blushes...But what am I thinking? Ah, it doesn´t matter." Anjali closed her eyes and Tyson guided her up a hill. When they reached the top, Tyson allowed her to open her eyes again. The sight she got was amazing. She could see the whole city and at the end of it the sea. It was sunset and the water was shimmering like gold. The sky was a mixture or yellow, violett, red and orange. "Wow, Tyson, it´s so beautiful! Thank you for having brought me here." "No problem.",he said and sat down in the gras. Anjali did as well. "It´s my secret place. I come here, when I want to realx or when I think about something.",he told her. "Why do you show it to me, when it´s your secret place?" "Well, if I knew the answer I would tell you, but I don´t know why. It was my heart that told me to bring you here.",Tyson thought, while looking at her. "I don´t know, I just wanted to share it with someone.",he finally answered. "Thanks Tyson. I´m really happy, that I´m the person you want to share it with." And with that she gave him a small kiss on the cheek. Both had to blush. Then they just sat there and looked at the sunset without saying a word, but in fact their hearts were communicating. (I know, it´s just too fluffy, but I just love romantic scenes like this one)
Meanwhile the others had arrived at the dojo. There, they realized, that Tyson and Anjali weren´t there anymore. "Where could they be?",Ray asked. "I don´t know. I didn´t even see them go away.",Max said. Hilary took the chance and escaped to the bridge nearby. But Kai saw that and followed her.
Hilary leant at the parapet and let out a sigh. "Trying to avoid an explanation like your sister?",a cold voice suddenly asked. "Kai! Don´t scare me like that!",she told him. "Answer my question and stop avoiding the truth!",he shouted with anger in his voice. She looked at him, but then she turned around and looked down. "I won´t be able to tell you the truth, because I don´t really know it, but I´ll try to telly you as much as I can...But...please...stop...shouting...at...me...I...can´t...",she sobbed and then she couldn´t hold the tears back anymore. She sank to her knees and cried. Kai was shocked. He didn´t really know what to do, beacause he feld bad. "Is it my fault, that she´s crying right now? I shouldn´t have shouted at her. I´m such an idiot.",he thought and then he went to Hilary. He just took her in his arms and said: "I´m sorry. I didn´t mean to make you cry. Please, stop now." Hilary started feeling better in his arms. She calmed down enough to say: "It´s...not..your fault...that..that I´m..crying." "What is it then?",Kai asked. "Oh Kai...I...I just...I just killed...a creature....I...I thought...it...wouldn´t be...that bad...but...but I´m feeling...terrible....I don´t know...how I could....do this...every day...when...when I was...five....And Anjali...she had...she had to do this...the whole time...all this years long...she had to do...she had to do this...all alone...I´m...so...sad and...I just...can´t stop crying...." And then the tears came again. "Shhhht. It´s okay. It´s over now. Don´t think about it." "Kai?" "Yes?" "Can we...stay....like.....that....for...some....time?" Kai just nodded and hold her tighter. They rested like that till Kai heard Hilary breathing slowly again. He looked at her and noticed, that she was asleep. He smiled. Then he stood up and carried Hilary back home.
The others were really worried and when Kai returned they were happy, that they found at least two of their camerades. But Tyson and Anjali still weren´t back. Kai placed Hilary on his bed and put the blanket over her. Then he went outside to the others, who decided to go and look fot the two.
While the team was looking for them, Tyson and Anjali were on their way back. They arrived at the dojo just 10 minutes after the others had left. When the others came back and saw the two, they were really angry and shouted a lot, but then they got tired of it and left Tyson and Anjali alone. Because it was too late to go back home and because Hilary was already sleeping, Anjali decided to stay at the dojo as well. Tyson´s grandpa gave Kai and Anjali a sleeping-thing (How are these japanese things they sleep on called?) and so they all went to sleep after that strange day.
Author´s note: Did you like it? I hope there wasn´t too much fluff for you. But I just love writing scenes like that. And I can even put more fluff into it of you want. In the next chapter the Bladebreakers and Anjali will meet a priestress from Egypt who will tell them some important things. So don´t miss the next chapter! And leave a review if you have some time!
