The almighty Lord looked down upon those which he had chosen to be the guardians. He looked down upon the aliens which they were fighting and knew what monster would be used next. It was time for the next guardian to be found. The Water Guardian.
Angel Gabriel was sent for and he knew the job he was comissioned to do. He immediately went down to the chosen watcher's dream and told him.
Lucifer looked up at the humans and saw Angel Gabriel dream talking to a human boy. The next watcher, Lucifer thought. "Jimattheus!" Lucifer called. A demon creature with black bat wings slid in before him. "Yesssss?" he asked. Lucifer showed him the Angel Gabriel. "Bring him down, he must not finish!" Lucifer shouted. Jimattheus bowed and hastily slithered away.
Angel Garbiel had just finished explaining the plight of the earth to the next watcher when the dream was filled with the burning hot fires of Hell rolling in with heavy black smoke. Gabriel stood straight and confident. "I see we have a visitor," he commented.
"Hey, watcher! I have three good reasons not to follow this Gabriel character!" Jimattheus called out to the watcher. "First of all, look at him, he wears a dress!" Gabriel was indignant. "It's a robe. Not a dress," Gabriel replied. Jimattheus waved his hand. "Whatever. And look at his hair. What is he, a girl?" "Helo-oo! I'm right here! I can hear you!" Gabriel said. "And last of all, I can do this and he can't because he's wearing a dress," Jimatteus said and did a hand stand on one hand.
A loud voice belonging to the watcher appeared throughout the dream. "What does that have to do with anything?" he asked. "No, no he has a point," Gabriel said.
"So, are you going to banish the cross-dresser?" Jimattheus asked. "No!" The watcher boomed. "I am going to banish you." and with that, Jimattheus felt himself being purged from the dream. He fell from it and landed on Earth beside the watcher's bedside in a ghostly form.
He learned over the watcher. "Ah, so you are the watcher? Beware, my little fiend, someday you will be in trouble," Jimmateus told him in his sleep. The demon did not do anything himself because he felt the Angel Gabriel was still watching him and would be quick to defend the boy.
Chapter 4:Water Magic
This is the magic of knowledge and healing. Water Magic focuses on preserving that which has been forgotten and renewing that which had been damaged.
Retasu was just about the shyest person in the village. This did not matter however, seeing as she was also the smartest person, and was hence, able to survive better than the rest. This might've been a little better if people did not always come to take advantage of her talents. They would come and ask for a favor and, whether because of her shyness or because she had a giving heart, she would do what they asked and then they would not repay her. In fact, some treated her abusively.
However, she also content in the village. This what what she had come to expect of life and it had molded itself into a routine. Thus, when a knock came at her door late at night, she was very surprised. No one in this part of the village was ever out after dark. This had often been questioned, but with no satisfying answer.
On the other hand, they were all supposedly asleep. Retasu was only up because she was working on a project and it was quite interesting. She should've been in bed long ago and the thought of sleep was slowly making its way across her mind. That however, was interrupted by a second knocking at the door.
Retasu softly walked over to the door and fently opened it. There was a boy of about fifteen years before her. He had black hair, was tall-ish, well taller than herself, and was wearing black with gold trim. But the most captivating feature was his purple eyes. He held out his hand saying, "Hello, I am Yukitto, but you may call me Yuki. Who may I have the pleasure of speaking to?" Retasu blushed and shook his hand. "I am Retasu, the only one who lives here."
Yuki smiled. "Good, that saved me a bunch of searching," he commented. "Why are you searching for me?" Retasu asked. "When is your thirteenth birthday?" Yuki asked. "It was today at five o' clock," she answered swiftly. "Then I am not too late.I have many things to tell you, Retasu," Yuki informed her. "Would you like to come in?" Retasu asked. Yuki nodded and stepped inside.
"Retasu, you are a guardian of earth. Number four out of eight. I am your watcher, I will train you and prepare you to battle with monsters. There are seven others like you, but they have not all been found yet," and he proceeeded to explain the complications and what not of Retasu's new job. Retasu listened intently and when Yuki was done they stood. But nothing was said,for a giant earthquake tossed themboth to the floor. Retasu pulled herself up using a chair and looked out the window.
A giant monster with reptillian skin and large fangs and claws was running toward her. "Retasu now! Transform!"Yuki shouted. "Lettuce Metamorphosis!" she shouted. A heavy green mist floated in, surrounding her, hiding her. Her clothesglowed and vanished in shining green sparkles. Two silver antannae grew from her head and her braids grew longer.The green sparkles of her clothes re attached themselves to her, weaving themselves into a green kimono withwaves embroidered on it. The waves seemed totoss and turn in the wind. A large sword with cerulean aquamarine's on the hilt. She swivelled around and faced the monster.
Three girls appeared on the horizon and came up to Retasu. "Fire Wall, Level up!" The pink one shouted. Her pair of sais glowed and melted into a pair of daggers with ruby wilcats on the hilts. The blue one came up next to her shouting, "Wind Arrow, Level up!" Herbow and arrow glowed brightly and melded into a large wand with an aquamarine crystal ball on the end. The yellow girl did a back flip and landed on top of the other two, likea pyramid, and shouted, "Disable, level up!" Her sword lit up with pale yellow light and split into a shield and dagger on a diamond belt.
"Fire Storm!" Ichigo shouted and spashed at the creature with her daggers. Deep dark clouds loomed over the dinosaur creatures and, instead of rain, fire and meteor rocks came hurtling down upon the creature. Mintospun and pointed her wand at the mutated tyranosaurus and shouted, "Mountain Echo!" Blue colored winds swirled around the dinosaur, picking it up off the groundand then she scream like a siren of the sea. The creature was thrown back against a mountain wall.
Minto, Ichigo, and Purin turned toward Retasu and Yuki. However, the dino twitched and stood. It came running at them at full speed. Purin whipped around and held up her shield against it screaming, "Fortitude!" The mutant dinosaur hit the shield and bounced away, but landed on its feet this time. "RRAAAAAWWWWRRRR!" It screeched and charged once more. Retasu looked at it and spotted the scar where a virus had entered it. She gasped and went to the front of the group as the dino charged once more. "Healing Wave!" She shouted and pointed her sword as the creature. Shining blue and green waves rushed at the dinosaur and dragged something out of it. It lookeda little like a deformed jelly fish. The dinosaur stopped and shrank. It glowed with a green light, like the jelly fish was and and shrank into a small garden lizard.
Retasu caught the jelly fish thing and held it in her hand. She peered at it and it seemed to go limp. She brought out a bowl of fish water from her home and placed it inside. It opened its eyes and looked at Retasu. She looked back at it. It turned away and swam to the other side of the bowl. Retasu sat it down on the counter and went outside to see a green haired alien bickering with Ichigo.
Kish was once more proclaiming his love to Ichigo when the newest member interrupted. "Excuse me, but what was that thing you put inside the lizard?" Kish looked at her strangely. "What-- o-ooh, you mean the chirema anima. It's a virus to animals and thrives in their blood and in the ocean water which seems so abundant here," he explained. Retasu nodded. "Arigatou."
Ichigo glared at her. "Why are you thanking him! All he did was tell you some stupid science information!" Kish slapped his forehead. "Darn it! I wasn't supposed to say that!" Retasu smiled to herself as Kish vanished.
"So, are you going to come back to Ryou's place with us?" Ichigo asked Retasu sometime later. "I don't know. Give me a few minutes to pack up," Retasu replied. Ichigo nodded and went outside. "So, what do you think of being a Guardian?" Yuki asked. "It's . . . okay," Retasu said and walked over to the window. Yuki joined her at looking out at the dark sky.
The sun poked his head over the horizon and brilliant colors tinted the clouds and filled the sky. Bright rays glittered upon Retasu's house and the shiney object she kept in it. She and Yuki watched the sunrise in silence. Retasu yawned and picked up her suitcase. "Come on, we have to make it to their house before falling asleep," Yuki joked and helped Retasu out the door.
