RYO SANADA
He was surrounded. Dynasty soldiers on every side of him, circling him, waiting, analyzing. Ryo did the same. He held his swords tightly, waiting for the fisrt move. He was as still as a rock, until the ground began to shake. The gigantic mountain was ready to explode.
You are going to wait, he silently demanded the mass of rock. He needed to get to the summit before it blew. He needed to get Sam to safety.
Smoke and ashes spewed from the opening of the mountain, falling like rain upon the bearer of Wildfire and the Dynasty soldiers. He didn't have much time. The pressure would get to the max, then it would be too late. Sam wouldn't survive if the volcano blew. Ryo had to get to her before, knowing his armor could protect both of them from the scorching heat. But he had to get past these soldiers first.
Ryo leaped into the air, his swords held over his head.
"Flare Up Now!" The heat from his surekill destroyed all of the soldiers instantly, leaving nothing but a pile of ashes were each one stood.
He smiled triumphantly, but his glory was short lived when another seismic wave pulsed through the earth. Ryo leaped onto a ledge, and quickly made his way to the top. He was close to loosing his balance a few times, but he reaced the summit just as another quake hit.
He looked around, and inside of the raging force, but Sam couldn't be found. He can sense her, he knew she was there… somewhere. He was running out of time. Where is she?
"Sam?" he called. There was no answer. "Sam? Talk to me, Sam. Where are you?"
He ran around the mouth of the volcano, searching frantically for his girlfriend. She wasn't anywhere outside, to he had to look inside. He hopped from ledge to ledge, searching though the flames and magma. He was getting worried that he was going to be too late. He knew she was there. He just couldn't find her.
There she was. She was passed out on another ledge, only about five feet above the lava pit. He quickly made his way over to her, the lava rising slowly, take up inches every few minutes.
When he finally got to her, he held her tightly. He had to get her out of here. It's too hot for a human. Picking her up, he made one large leap to the top of the summit. He raced down the side of the mountain, putting as much distance between them as possible.
One he felt they were at a safe distance, he armored down to his sub armor, gently placing Sam's body on the ground. He leaned over her, using the cool water from the lake to splash her face and bare arms to cool her down. She was breathing, that was a good thing. He dripped some water into her mouth. She sputtered and started choking.
"R-Ryo?" she asked weakly. She opened her eyes, and Ryo felt completely at peace knowing she was going to be okay.
"You're okay Sam," he said gently, pulling her close to him. "I won't let this happen again."
She smiled up at him, just as the volcano erupted. They watched as small fire balls flew into the air like fourth of July fireworks. It was a deadly force, and they both knew it. However, the fire inside is a perfect description of Ryo's love for Sam. He looked down at her, and she looked at him.
"I love you, Sam."
"I love you, too." Ryo bent down and kissed her gently. Out of nowhere, there was this annoying beeping. It wouldn't go away…
Ryo opened his eyes. The room was bright, too bright. The annoying alarm clock was driving him crazy. He reached out and knocked the clock off of the bedside table.
"Damn that mechanical thing to the fires of that volcano."
He turned over and went back to sleep, hoping to finish what he started with Sam.
