New Life, New Secrets, New Destiny
Chapter 4
"Anubis."
"Yes Master Talpa."
"I have your new mission. With these new warriors, we need to capture the angel as soon as possible. The best way to bring her out is to endanger the lives of the mortals."
"I understand Master Talpa. I will cause much trouble so that the angel will have to come out in order to help the Ronins like before."
---
"So what's our next step?" Dais asks.
"I'm not really sure," Rowen comments.
"Maybe we should try to figure out who this new enemy is," Kento suggests.
"Kento, that's the first intelligent thing I ever heard you say."
"Very funny Cye."
"Maybe we should ask Kyoto if he has any ideas," Kayura suggests.
"But where is he?" Ryo asks.
"I think he went out for a walk or something," Yuli says brushing White Blaze's fur.

Mia sits by the lake looking in to the water. "I can't believe what's happening. I'm totally powerless without the spirit orb. I wish there was something that I could do." She rests her chin on her knees and watches the water's surface.
"Lady Mia, are you okay?" Mia turns around and sees Kyoto standing behind her.
"I'm fine. Why don't you sit down?" She asks, patting the spot next to her.
"As you wish." He sits down next to Mia and lays his staff next to him. "May I ask what you were think about Lady Mia? You seemed very deep in thought."
"I was just thinking about what's happening. It's just that I feel so powerless without the spirit orb right now. I don't know what to do."
"You shouldn't say something like that. People all over look up to you because of who you are. Plus, you're never as weak as you think you are. You always have an inner strength that is waiting to come out. Or that's what my mother used to tell me."
"You know Kyoto, you know all about us, but we don't know anything about you. Where are your parents?" Mia asks, turning towards him to give him her full attention.
"Well, my mother died when I was very young and my father became very depressed and years later, he disappeared on me. I lived with some monks who live close by most of my life."
"Oh, I'm sorry I asks."
"It is all in the past. I have come to terms with it." Mia gets up and looks at him.
"If you don't mind, I better get back to the house before Ryo sends out a search party."
"Shall I accompany you?"
"There's no need. I will see you later. " She slowly starts to walk away. Kyoto watches her until she is out of sight. He takes his staff from the ground and sticks it into the ground right next to the lake. He kneels down and puts his hands together in prayer as the staff starts to glow.
"Are you there?"
"What is it Kyoto?" a voice answers.
"I want to know why I can't tell her and Lord Ryo the truth. It's so hard to keep it in."
"Things must be this way young one. I know it may be hard, but it is for the best."
"But I want to tell her so badly. I've missed her so much."
"I know, but I promise that one day, you will be able to tell here." The staff stops glowing, Kyoto stands up and takes the staff out of the ground.

"KiroKito, are you here?" Anubis asks in a dark room.
"I am here Anubis." A tall , grey gremlin like creature appears.
"Good, I need you to do some work for Master Talpa."
"I would be glad to do anything for Master Talpa."
---
Downtown, it's very crowded. You see people holding shopping bags, walking across the street and many cars zooming about. Suddenly, a huge black hole opens in the sky and a weird shadow comes out to the ground, transforming into a gremlin like creature. Everyone stops in their steps and looks at the weird creature.
"What is that?"
"I have no idea."
"Ladies and Gentlemen, it is time to give yourself up!" HE throws out dozens of webs that surround many of people. They start to get weak and fall to the ground. Everyone else starts to run away, but more webs appear.
---
Ryo pops up from his seat and everyone looks at him. "What's wrong Ryo?"
"Something's happening in town Kayura. WE better go check it out."
"Right." They all get up and run out the door, leaving Mia and Yuli behind.
"I really wish I could go with them," Mia whispers to herself as she watches the others leave.
---
The Ronins arrive in town only to see dozens of people tied up in webs and hanging from the sky. "Whoa, this doesn't look good," Sage comments.
"I say we finish this off now. Armor of Wildfire, Halo, Strata, Torrent, Hardrock, Cruelty, Corruption, Venom, Illusion! Armor of Inferno!"
"Ah, I see you children have arrived. I'm KiroKito, the master of the shadows."
"Well, I can tell you that we won't be knowing each other for long," Kento says twirling his weapon around.
"You're right about that. Creeping Shadows!"
"Inferno Fire Blast!" The two attacks cancel each other out, but little sparks go flying and hit the people.
"Hey, we gotta watch out what we're doing or we could hurt the people."
"But how can we destroy him?"
---
Mia and Yuli sit down on the floor waiting for the guys. Suddenly Mia gets a sharp pain in her head and grabs her head. "Mia, what's wrong?"
"Something's very wrong with the others."
"Mia?"
"I'm okay Yuli. Why don't we go outside? I need some air."
"Sure."
---
"This place seems to be getting darker and darker. Soon enough, we won't be able to see where we're attacking," Cale says.
"Sage, use your light to help the others."
"Huh?" Sage says, putting down his sword. "Mia, was that you?"
"What's it Sage?" Ryo asks dodging another blast.
"I think I have an idea."
"Well then, what are you waiting for? Go for it!" Kento screams.
"Fine." Sage points his sword upwards and concentrates on it, closing his eyes. "Power of the light, please come to me," he whispers to his sword. The sword suddenly starts to glow brighter. "How do you like this KiroKito?" He points it at the demon and he covers his eyes.
"That light. Get it away!"
"Ryo, finish him off!" Sage screams still pointing his sword.
"Armor of the Heavens! Celestial Heavens Cry!" The demon disappears and everyone is freed from the webs.
"I wonder, why Anubis didn't come this time?" Kayura asks out loud.
