Spirit: Hi guys, I'm so sorry this took forever. i had wrighter's block on all my stories. but i'm slowly getting over it.
Tenshi: yep, sad isn't it. plus she and Eveningshadow, our sis, are working on a fic together that will be coming out soon.
Spirit: well, here you guys go and i don't know when i'll update next but hopefully it wont take as long.
-thanks to Black Mage-. you helped me sit my lazy ass down and start typing. and thanks for updating your story too.
"You failed me Ryoon... for the last time." Queen Carith. She outstreched her had and had her palm facing him. He kneeled before her, his eyes wide with shock.
"No please, give me another chance. I can get rid of them for you!!" he cried. Carith sneered.
"Your job was to gain information, not destroy the Senshi. You have disobeyed my orders twice Ryoon. But I'm in a good mood today so I'll give you one last chance, destroy the Twins Dawn and Dusk. If you fail you shall die by my own hands if not by theirs." she said. He bowed his head to her.
"Thank you my lady. I will not fail you this time." he said and vanished. Behind the door stood Margaret. She had listened to their little conversation and clenched her fists.
"Why must he always steal my jobs? Well I'll just have to make sure he doesn't come back from this one, even if I have to destroy him myself." she hissed and vanished as well. Returning to her place on Earth.
Mike, Ororo, and Jean looked over their fallen comrades, and even a few of their enemies from the past. None were seriously wounded, but they still had to be careful of infection. Mike was able to heal most of their biggest wounds but left the smaller ones to heal on their own. After all what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger. After they were done they went to the lounge were all the X-men, Senshi, and Brotherhood were assembled, or at least the ones not in the hospital wing. "This isn't good. The humans will only blame mutants for this." Logan said. The others agreed.
"Man why does everything just seem to get worse for us. I mean I thought I had it bad before, but then I didn't have to fight for the whole damn world, only for myself." Hana said. Kurt just put a comforting arm around her.
"It seems our enemy is targeting you Senshi, but why?" Scott asked.
"That's because we are the ones who are destined to protect this planet, after all our home ones were destroyed. When that happened we were sent here to be reborn and help rid it of any outside or inside force that threatened it." Mel explained.
"You all should get some sleep. I'm sure most of your energy was drained in that battle. You boys will have to share rooms with Scott, Kurt, Sol, and Ryan." Charles said to the remaining brotherhood. "Now to bed, we'll have a better plan figured out in the morning or a better idea of what we're dealing with." All the students and teachers left to there room, this didn't stop the girls though as soon as it got quiet they all , meaning the senshi, in Nikki, Athena, and Hidama's room. The all either sat on a bed, chair or floor. They waited awhile till Ryan and Sol slipped into the room, soon followed by Mike. That's when there little meeting began.
"I know you guys wont agree with me, but I think it's best we leave this place. We put everyone in danger, including the people we really care about. The enemy is after us, and staying here would only endanger everyone further." Mel said.
"Actually I agree with you. This battle is ours not theirs, we have to deal with it." Hidama said from her position on her bed. Sephy nodded.
"Today we got lucky, but next time someone might actually die. I don't want that to happen. Not to such innocent souls." she said. Mike, who was leaning on the door straightened up, then straightened up.
"Then it's settled. We leave before dawn. We'll take Athena too. Tell no one about this, they will try to stop us. Agreed?" he asked everyone nodded. The boys and girls went to their own rooms, leaving Nikki and Hidama alone.
"Do you think we are doing the right thing? Leaving I mean. I know it's for everyone's safety, but...I'll miss them." Nikki said getting under her covers after both girls had changed. Hidama was brushed her silver hair and looked at her friend through the mirror.
"I don't know what to do anymore. I'm supposed to be the leader, but I don't even know how to lead." she said and put down the brush. "What if we are making a huge mistake? We won't know till we try. The safety of this planet is our main concern. We just have to do what we think is best, cause that's the only way we'll know what to do." she went over to her bed and slipped under her own covers.
"Well even though you are our clueless leader. I'll be right behind you all the way." Nikki said smiling. Hidama smiled inwardly.
"Thanks Nikki, I feel much better now that I'm leading you all to certain death." she said sarcastically. Nikki laughed.
"Well good night Dama. See you dark and way to early for my taste." the black haired girl said closing her eyes.
"Yeah, good night Nikki." In the morning they were all awakened by Mike and Ryan who were the only ones that were a morning person. If you could call it morning since the sun had not yet risen. They packed as little as they could and all met in the lounge. Mike brought in Athena who was now awake but looked horrible. She smiled at all of them.
"I'm ok guys. Now lets get out of here." she whispered. They nodded and slipped out the back door. Mike went to go get one of the vans while Nikki went to get his car. They both came back and everyone loaded into the vehicles, hoping no one had awoken up to the engines of both machines. Once they were all set the group drove off in silence. No one liking the idea of leaving everyone, yet knowing they had too.
Logan woke up at dawn, he went over to Mikes room and knocked on the door. The two always worked out in the morning together at the gym. When no one answered he decided to speak. "Hey, Mike, you in there?" no answer. With a shrug Logan went down the stairs making his way to the gym he stopped when he reached the entrance hall. He sniffed the air and frowned. He followed the smell to the back door in the kitchen where he found the door was unlocked. The smell of the senshi was there, but how? They had all entered through the front last night...unless. Logan ran out of the kitchen and back up the stairs, there he pounded on one of the doors. A very sleepy lance opened the door. "What?" he asked glaring at Logan. Logan ignored it and tried to look behind him.
"Is Ryan in there?" he asked. Lance looked around the room.
"No..weird I didn't hear him get up." he said.
"I think we better wake the others. Something isn't right here." Logan said, Lance nodded and they went to wake up the rest of the Brother hood and teachers. Sol was no where to be found either. Ororo, Jean, Rogue, and Jubilee went to check on the girls ans the guys waited in the lounge after getting the professor. They came down, Ororo clutching a note in her hand. She handed it over to Pr. Xavier.
"It's from Midnight and the others." she said. The Professor read it out loud.
"I'm sorry we left without telly you all, but you see we had no choice. The enemy, whoever they are, are after us. We didn't want to endanger any of you so we all decided to leave. Athena is with us too. We are truly sorry for this, but you must understand that this is our battle. One that we must face and conquer. Farewell to all of you. I hope we see you again. Bye. Midnight and the Senshi." everyone was quiet. "How could they do this to us?" Evan asked. The thought of never seeing Nikki again plaguing his mind.
"We have to go after them. What if they're killed?" Todd said. "I agree, we can't just let them do this on their own. What if they are killed, and we could have helped?" Rogue said.
"We mustn't interfere. They were after all chosen to protect this planet. They are right this is their battle to fight." Xavier said.
"Well it is our planet too. And sense when did the Brotherhood take orders from you?" they turned to see Pietro walk up to them, leaning on the wall for support since he hadn't fully recovered. His friends went over to help him.
"I'm sorry Professor but I too can not just leave them with such a burden to carry alone." Ororo said. Rogue and Jubilee agreed. "We can't either, they are our friends. And we never not help our friends." Bobby said remembering the first time he met Melody. Kurt and Evan nodded. The Professor sighed.
"Well it appears I can not stop you. I shall track them with Ceribro (sp?)" he said and left to help his students and the Brotherhood track the Senshi. "So who else is coming with us? If it's just us and the other six that's fine with us?" Lance asked. Logan stepped forward.
"I'll go, the rest should stay here in case the place is attacked." he said. They all nodded and prepared to go after the ones they all truly cared for.
"Uh where exactly are we going to go anyway?" Ryan asked he was in the passengers seat in the car Mike was driving. He didn't trust Nikki with it so she drove the van behind them. Mike thought about it.
" I guess we'll have to stay in this city sense those Ryoon and Margaret freaks will be tearing up this place looking for us. But we still have to stay far away from the institute. Hm...I think I have an idea." he said and did a quick U turn. Nikki followed his move and they speed up a little.
"Where are we going?" Athena asked from the back seat where she sat with Sephy, and Hana.
"An old abandoned shelter. It's just a few ways away from the Institute." Mike explained. "But don't we not want to be to close to there?" Hana asked as she tried hard to ram into Sephy. "Cause it was built for mutants so the government wouldn't find them, but they did. There's a room in there though no one not even the Professor can find with his powers. The few mutants that were in it managed to escape. I met one and he told me about it and it's location. We can stay in it and go from there." he said.
"But we will have to get food and clothing. Plus we would have to come out to fight and they can track us back to it." Sephy pointed out.
"That's a risk we'll have to take sis. There's no where else that the Professor can't find." Ryan said turning to look at the three girls in the back. Mike nodded and they drove on.
Soon they reached the spot and explained to the girls, and Sol who were in the van. They agreed on it and unloaded what little they had brought. Mike easily found the room and led them in. It wasn't to big, yet wasn't to small. It was about the size of a three roomed house with a small kitchen and bathroom. It actually was like a three roomed house. The girls divided into two of the rooms while the guys got the third. They dumped there stuff on the smelly old beds.
"Looks like we have some cleaning to do." Sol said.
"Yeah, cause there is no way I'm taking a bath in whatever's growing in that tub." Mel said coming out of the bathroom. "Alright lets clean this place then we can go shopping for all that we need." Hidama said. They all nodded and began to clean the place up as best they could.
Ryoon stood on a tall building in the city. The Senshi were around here somewhere. Wait, weren't they living in an institute. He smiled. That would be perfect for his plain. The clouds darkened as he appeared on the ground dressed as a normal human. He walked over to a phone both and looked through the large book inside. Finally he found it.
"Professor Xavier's school for the Gifted. And look it even has the address." quickly he memorized it and left the same booth. He walked down the streets plaining on how he should put his plan into action. Close by Meg followed him. 'Where is he going now?' she thought. 'He must know where the Senshi live. Well that's perfect, he's going to lead me right to them. And once I get rid of him there will be nothing to stop my own plan for the elimination of those damned Senshi.'
Not much action in this one, but oh well.
Tenshi:the action will be coming soon if you can't tell, and for those of you who haven't heard. 'Another Shot' is now finished.
Spirit: yep so be sure to find it, now please Review!
Ja ne
