Chapter 6- The Awakening
New Character: Ashura- Son of Talpa who seeks vengeance against Ryo alone.
The time had come. It was now six years after the defeat of Talpa and the
MaSho were free. Anubis had passed from this world due to his ultimate
sacrifice. Kayura now led the Ronins as the new Ancient. The Ronins had
parted from each other and gone back to their families. All but Ryo, who
had no one to go home to. Ryo wandered the Manor, now marveling at the
silence that was once a bustling place. He shook his head. All that was now
in the Manor was the MaSho, Mia, Kayura and Ryo. Ryo grew bored and wanted
to go to his home in the mountains, but knew his clan would reject him.
Meanwhile, in the Youjakai, a new force was rising unbeknownst to
Kayura. Half Demon he was, but also half human. His name was Ashura, the
Son of Talpa and a human woman. A cruel smile crossed his lips and he
glared maliciously at the image of the Manor.
"You say Wildfire killed my father?" Ashura asked coldly.
A servant bowed. "Yes, Mi'lord. Wildfire killed Master Arago."
"Very well. You may go." Ashura replied. He smiled coldly. Wildfire
was going to die.
A few days later Ryo walked down the lake path. The sun was shining
brightly on this day and the lake sparkled.
Suddenly skies darkened and an evil aura spilled into the area and
Ryo tensed. It was the unmistakable aura of Talpa's Empire. Ryo sighed
with annoyance as a single tin can appeared once more.
"Can't you guys ever come up with something more original?"
A cold laugh came from the tin can. "I thought you would recognize
this...however I am not just some lackey of the Dynasty."
Ryo smirked. "Yeah and I am a Christmas elf. Show yourself."
The soldier laughed meanly and the grey armor vanished to reveal a
dark haired man with red eyes. He wore a black armor that was trimmed with
blood red cloth. The symbol engraved upon the breast plate was a blood red
skull with the standard of Arago Talpa below it.
Ryo raised an eyebrow. "What is that supposed to impress me?"
The demon laughed. "Just what I expected out of the one who slew my
father. I am Ashura, Demon of Chaos and Despair."
Ryo shrugged. "Like I care. Now you obviously came here for a reason. Get
to the point."
Ashura stared at Ryo. Ryo wasn't like most humans. He saw a coldness that
gave him chills. "My point is this. I will fight you and you alone.
However, not as this. I will face the White Knight in two weeks. Farewell."
Ryo watched Ashura vanish and sighed turning his back on the retreating
clouds. Kayura son came out of the Manor and saw the look on Ryo's face.
She knew.
Another figure watched silently. He lowered his eyes. The time had come.
"Hear me now, sacred guardians of the Elements. I call you forth to come
and protect your descendants. Phoenix, Chiron, Raicho, Poseidon, and Titan
I call you now, Waken!"
A golden light shot from his body and went to five different locations. In
each one a warrior stirred...
Authors Note: More to come! What's the deal with Ashura? Why does he seek to fight Ryo alone? Is Talpa's death the center of it all or is there more to this than what was revealed? Stick around for more! Please email me with comments. No flames though cause I will just laugh at them. PS: This story was based off an RP that I did with Ashura. If you read this, Ashura we have to finish our fight. I am waiting. The SN is still the same.
