Chapter Four: Learning More

Author's Note:

This is Chapter Four: Learning More! Sorry for not updating so long. Anywho, my mom and my sister came back from Korea two days ago, and my mom had won a second place award for an autobiography she wrote for a Literacy Contest from the Overseas Koreans Foundation. Her award is now placed on a pedestal made of wood on the square shelf in the family's computer room. Now my dad doesn't have to worry about me being left home alone. I know he's just trying to protect me, but he even didn't let me stay home at Halloween! Oh well, at least everybody liked my costume. If only they could stop asking me who I was... FYI: I was Na-Yeon from the korean manhwa, Spheres. My dad made a Sphere Pheinox from the mat boards for his framing things. He had leftovers, and made a Sphere Pheinox. If you're wondering what these things are, check out my fanfic in the Kim Possible section, "Spheres: A Kim Possible Story." The first book, "Spheres #1: Sphere Wing" is up and is in the process. So far, I got no reviews, so tell me what you think! Same for this one! Anyway, the song, "Tell Me More" isn't ready yet, so I have to cancel out the songs. My sister and I are creating a Mary Ann Characters/Three way crossover series. So far, we finished the first book two years ago, and we're almost done the Halloween one, which was supposed to be completed last year. But now, we're working on a Christmas one. You can check out samples at our website, freewebs(dot)com/journeyforthekikocards. Hope you enjoy it! So, here's "Learning More." Until Chapter Five: First Showdown, see ya! ;-)

"Possible-san, please! Calm down!"

"That PERVERT!" Kim screamed, "Out of all places that he could've touched, it just had to be the private ones!"

"Kim, first of all, you have to calm down." Ron said reassuringly.

Kim sqeaked, holding back her tears of abusement, but ended up sobbing on Ron's shoulder.

"Why me?" Kim sobbed, "Why couldn't it be some other pretty girl who's taken? Why me?"

"Maybe because we're the Outer Limits' targets..." Kiara suggested, frowning. Chiko whined in agreement.

"Sometimes I wish being a Lotus Guardian would be easier..." Kim said, wiping her tears.

Suddenly, Chiko's ears perked up. Soon, he began barking wildly.

"Chiko, what's wrong?" Yori asked.

Chiko continued to bark at the entrance towards the mountains, as the ground soon began to shake.

"EARTHQUAKE?" Kim wondered out loud, hollering over the rumbling noise.

"Judging by how Chiko sensed it, I'd say yeah!" Ron hollered back.

Rufus chittered nervously and dove back into Ron's pocket.

The ground soon stopped it's shaking, and Chiko leaped into Yori's arms.

"What just happened?" Kim asked.

"Outer Limits..." Kiara replied, "They're nearby..."

"That means..." Kim frowned.

"Youkai-Sama's friends have come to play!" Ron cried, as the demons from the Outer Limits appeared through a black and purple portal from the sky formed from clouds. They screeched and screamed unhumanly sounds.

"Lotus Guardians!" Kim cried.

"On it!" Ron and Yori replied.

"OK!" Rufus squeaked.

"Lotus Blade!"

"Bamboo Bow and Arrow!"

"Dragon Fan!"

"Come to me!"

From the distant Lotus Shrine from the mountains, the three Lotus Treasures twirled and flew through the air over the mountains and into their owners' hands.

The three transformed into their carnations' forms. Kim became Miriam Spirit, Ron became Jonathan Story, and Yori became Rumiko Higurashi.

"Kiara!" Miriam called.

The Blue Fox cub leaped onto Miriam's outstretched palms. Miriam threw Kiara into the air. Kiara flipped in the air, as swirls of blue and silver whirled around her, as she soon transformed into a giant Blue Fox with a large, swaying tail. Her sky blue fur was tinted with silver.

Miriam leaped onto Kiara's back.

"Jonathan! Rumiko! You comin' or not?" Miriam called back.

Rumiko opened her fan, and swirled it in the air. Chiko leaped into the air, as the orange winds from the fan began to swirl around him. Soon, just like how Kiara transformed, Chiko turned into a dog-like dragon, that was a bit larger than Kiara. Yori leaped on Chiko's back.

Jonathan took Rufus - who was now Bravery - from his shoulder. He placed Bravery on the ground. Jonathan slashed the Lotus Blade in the air, releasing blades and swirls of silver. Bravery leaped into the air, and entered the flurry of silver, as he was transformed into a rodent-like creature with wings of birds. His bright red fur was tinted with silver and pink. Jonathan mounted on Bravery's back.

Soon, the three creatures, with their owners, flew into the sky, and attacked every monster in their way.

Miriam prepared to launch a bamboo arrow while Kiara flew towards the oncoming demons.

"Enchanted Arrow!" Miriam cried, as the arrow was released, leaving behind a trail of silver and green flurries and lights, destroying the demons in it's path, and striking inside the portal, where it shattered into a million silver and green lights, and swirled around the outside of the portal like ribbons forming an unescapable cage for the demons. Soon, the ribbons disappeared.

"What'd you do, Miriam?" Jonathan asked.

A demon was about to retreat, only to be blocked and destroyed by a barrier around the portal, making the cage reappear for a few seconds than disappear again.

With Jonathan's mouth agape, Miriam just smiled and replied, "That." Then, she and Kiara flew towards an oncoming crowd of demons from below.

"Bamboo Bow! Sword Mode!" Miriam cried, as her bow transformed into a bamboo sword in a flurry of lights. She slashed every enemy that was in her wake.

Just as an injured one was about to attack Miriam and Kiara...

"Dragon Fire!"

A jet of fire appeared out of nowhere and attacked the oncoming demon, destroying it to nothing. Soon, Rumiko and Chiko appeared.

"Thanks." Miriam thanked.

"Anything for my friends." Rumiko replied.

Then, the four went to help Jonathan in combat.

"Sacred Blade!"

"WyvernFire!"

The two attacks collided and destroyed the demons that only surrounded Jonathan and Bravery.

"Phew!" Jonathan cried, "Thanks, girls!"

"No big!" Miriam called back, and went towards the portal.

"Time to close this thing, guys!" Miriam called to her friends, as the demons that both entered and exited the portal crashed into the barrier and turned into nothing.

The three held up their Lotus Treasures. Miriam's blade shrunk back to a bow. The three treasures glowed a green, orange, and silver, as a jet of light of the weapons' colours were released. They broke through the barrier and shattered the portal to normal clouds, as the demons were destroyed in the process.

"You fought well, guardians." Master Sensai said, "And, you have also learned new moves, I presume?"

"Stoppable-san and I have learned how to transform our companions into our carnations' companions like Possible-san and Kiara-chan." Yori explained.

"And I learned how to use attacks on my Bamboo Blade." Kim added.

"That means you have now leveled up to a higher level in your guardian forms." Master Sensai explained, "But, I should tell you. I have found more information on Youkai-Sama and the Outer Limits' latest plot. They are planning to create one of you vulnerable enough to never attack the enemy when they strike, giving them an advantage. So far, that is not going as planned, for the bond between Possible-san and Stoppable-san is unbreakable. As for the same with your friendship with Hirotaka-san, Yori."

"What about Darkness?" Kim asked. A shiver went up and down Kim's spine just saying the enemy's name.

Last month, Kim was kidnapped by an evil being named Darkness, who was after the Lotus Guardians' powers. Fear overcame Kim, as she soon lost her nerves completely when she was alone with her friends. Only the childhood song she grew up with around her was comfort and a weapon against Darkness for a short period of time, until he had told her to shut up, or he'll kill her before her friends could arrive. After the battle between Ron and Darkness, Ron asked Kim to marry him. Kim had accepted, and they were going to get married in a matter of a few months, after the Lotus Legends Trials were completed.

"Darkness will not appear until 10 years." Master Sensai replied, "There is nothing to fear about for now. But what you need to focus on now, is staying together. But beware of Youkai-Sama. He may be an irritation to your mind, but he is still dangerous as an atom bomb. Be careful, and stay together. Keep each other safe. You are dismissed, guardians."
