Kaida's Story- Flame of the Dragon

Kaida was fast asleep when it happened. But she it wasn't nighttime, and she wasn't in bed. Her language teacher was giving another lecture, and she fell fast asleep. This wasn't unusual, but what was about to happen was. As Kaida slept, Kaida she had been having the weirdest dream. It had started normally, she was dreaming about eating. Then, it shifted. A dark red haze surrounded her, and a glowing spirit-like Dragon flew towards her. It paused for a moment, and then flew into her. This was the same time Ryou 'accidentally' created three new Mews.

"KAIDA!" The teacher, Ms. Yukari, slammed a ruler down right in front of Kaida's face.

"WHA!" She screamed, jerking back up into her seat. Just as the teacher was about to start lecturing her, the bell rang, signaling the end of the school day.

"Freedom!" Kaida shouted as she ran out the school like a bat out of heck. Finally, she thought, she hated school. The only thing she liked was gymnastics, an after school course she took every Friday. She didn't have it today, fortunately, or else she wouldn't have met up with Shana, Berii, and Zakuro.

"Hm, Mom won't be home for a few hours. I think I'll go to the park." She said cheerfully. The park was a few blocks past her house, which was yet again the reason she met up Shana, Berii, and Zakuro. Skipping happily along, Kaida started singing a nonsense song. For some reason, she felt especially cheerful, and powerful. Like she could take on the world.

As she reached the park, she wasn't looking where she was going, and accidentally skipped right into the famous purple-haired superstar.

"Watch where you're going!" Kaida shouted, her manners being nonexistent.

"I think that's her, Zakuro." A dark-haired girl said. Kaida felt confused as Zakuro agreed.

"What do you mean?" She asked, as a third, light haired girl walked over.

"Hey, you found her!" The third girl said to the other two. Kaida felt even more lost, especially when the sky darkened quite suddenly.

"Look out!" The girl the little one had called Zakuro pushed Kaida into the bushes as a bright neon blue light shot into the place Kaida had been standing only a moment before. It disappeared quite soon, leaving a burnt spot in the formerly grassy ground.

"WAGH!" She shouted. Kaida was feeling panicky (who wouldn't?) and started running in a circle.

So, you Mew Mews thought you could defeat me if you had even more on your team. An ominous voice was heard across the park.

"Oh no, not here." The light-haired girl said, looking nervously into the clouds.

"What's going on?" Kaida asked again, calmed down enough to talk.

"Raven's here…" Zakuro said, and the little girl clutched at the pants she was wearing.

You were fools, but that doesn't matter. I must deal with the others. Until then, try and vanquish HIM! The voice shouted, as a black light shot from the sky. A dark figure emerged, clad in black armor. He held a sword made of black fire. Meet the Dark Knight.

The rest of the people had mysteriously disappeared, as the three girls held their ground. Zakuro appeared to nod at the light-haired girl, who said something Kaida didn't try to hear as she stared incredulously at them. Suddenly they were encased in bright lights, both a different color. When it stopped, they were changed.

Zakuro has wearing a purple, sleeveless top, with a slight ruffle around the edges. There were two puffy sleeve-like things near her shoulders, and bands of fabric where a bracelet would be. She wore shorts the same shade of purple, and high boots. Two large wolf-like ears had emerged from the sides of her head, and a long gray tail appeared as well.

The light haired girl emerged wearing a rather large and puffy bathing suit-like outfit, cream colored, decorated with lots of ribbons. Two large bunny ears flopped out from the top of her head, and a cream-colored cat tail also showed.

The little girl didn't change, or get encased in light. Instead, she ran over to Kaida.

"I'm sorry, I hope you didn't get hurt." She said, desperately looking around. "I wish I could fight with Zakuro and Berii, but they say I can't unless everyone's here. I'm too little." She pouted.

"Anyway, we came to tell you your one of us and take you back to the café where we work. I'm Shana, by the way, and you need to transform too." The dark-haired girl, Shana, said all of this very fast.

"B-b-but I don't know how." Kaida responded feeling very flustered.

"I know, that's why Ryou advised we bring you this." Shana replied, taking out a small cream-colored pendant. "Use this, you'll know what to do." It was true. In a moment Kaida was back on her feet, and she held the pendant in her hands.

"Mew Mew Metamorphosis!" She said, and was encased in a bright red light. When it parted, Kaida stood tall, feeling very strong.

Her hair had stayed a fiery red, but her eyes had become the same shade. She had on a flaming orange shirt, with sort of ragged sleeves. The shirt came over her shorts, which were bright crimson. Tight, high boots went up to her knees, the same crimson shade, with orange soles. Her red lizard-like tail flicked back and forth, with an arrow shape on the end. From her shoulder blades rose large, red, scaly, bat-like wings, with which she flapped and took flight. This girl was part dragon.

It was the duty of a knight to slay dragons, and this instinct burned into the Dark Knight's mind. Zakuro and Berii had been holding him off, but they needed help. Since Shana, in their opinion, was too little, they were lacking the third member they needed. That was when they heard Kaida's wings flapping as she rose into the air.

The Dark Knight looked up at Kaida, and as soon as he landed, he charged at her with his sword. Kaida seemed to hold something for a minute, and suddenly a staff, about a foot long, appeared in her hands. A ruby tipped it, the rest made from rowan.

"Flame of the Dragon!" She called as a flame flickered on the ruby's surface. Suddenly, a huge blaze of flame leapt from the tip, and completely engulfed the knight. His armor melted away as he continued on after Kaida. Finally, it all fell away, exposing the rotting, zombie flesh beneath. With a bellow of agony, he was burned away to nothing.

"That was amazing!" Shana cheered, as the clouds started to lighten.

"Come one, we better get you back to the café before too many people show up again." Although by now the Mew Mews were well known, Berii didn't want to traumatize poor Kaida with a new flock of fans right after her first battle.

As they walked away from the park, a black gem rested on the ground where the Dark Knight had fallen. It crumbled into the dust, and the breeze lifted it away into the last dark cloud.

Explanations for Things

The ominous voice is Raven, the demon maker. I'll explain more about him later on.

I do not knowwhat Berii is wearing, only an incredibly vauge picture. If you have any full-bodied pictured of her transformed, I'll use them to update my story.

Answers to Questions in Reviews

Nyaa-Neko- No, Apple and Ringo are not the same, even though their names mean the same thing. Apple and Shana are characters my friend made up and made me put in the story. She told me Shana is some sort of Japanese food, but I don't know what. Kaida means' Little Dragon', which I picked because she's part dragon. Sada means 'Pure', and Kana means 'Power', because their part…well, you'll see in the next couple of chapters.
