Previously, on the Four Warriors Of The World! Our heroes were making their way to Scorpion Desert. Along the way, Pork-O-Long tried to get away from the group by turning into a bird and flying away. However, Emily ended using her own panties to get him back, but by doing so, he accidentally broke the strap on her panties. So now, Emily has to be careful whenever the wind blows. And now, the continuation.


Chapter Eight:

A Desert Bandit:

After a few minutes of walking, the group arrives at a stone house. The group was surprised to see a stone house was just standing there in the middle of the desert.

Kenta: Wow, a stone house, in a desert?

Emily: Me too.

Katie: Hopefully they have room service. I really need a shower.

Zack: Okay, Emily, you sit this one out and try not to do anything stupid.

Emily: What? Why?

Zack: Well, from what your little sister told me, you're rude, idiotic, impatient, and that you don't have good people skills. You shot Jacob, try to snatch the crystal shard from him, pointed a gun at a person who was not bad and tried to rob them. If you keep this up we'll have a major problem, so sit back and learn.

Emily: Hey, I'm the oldest here! Who put you in charge?!

Zack: At least Katie is not majorly stupid, rude, selfish, and impatient like you. Besides, your little sister shows the opposite of what you'doing, you're losing your touch of people, you don't know your sister Kenta seriously, who is like the oldest and you're like a brat, so sit back and shut it, and no gun till there is a bad guy around.

As Emily about to say something but sighs in defeat as everyone agrees on Zack. They then enter the stone house, the house itself was amazing. It had a bathroom, a kitchen, a living room, hell they even had a TV somehow installed. Whoever was living here was doing pretty good for themselves. However, as amazing this place was, nobody was home.

Kenta: Hello? Anybody home?

Nobody answered. Kenta then steps forward and steps into the doormat just in front of the doorway. However, little did Kenta know was that there was a pressure plant under the doormat. When Kenta stepped on the pressure plant underneath the doormat, a giant blade came flying to cut Kenta's head clean off. When Jacob saw this, he ran to Kenta.

Jacob: KENTA! WATCH OUT!

Kenta: Huh?

Jacob quickly grabbed Kenta, and they both dropped to the floor, dodging the blade and saving Kenta's life. When Kenta opened her eyes, she saw that Jacob's face was close to her's, and their lips almost touching each other. When Kenta saw this, she blushed and was thinking of kissing Jacob for saving her.

Jacob: Kenta, are you alright?

Realizing that she and Jacob weren't alone, Kenta quickly separated herself from Jacob before he could figure out what was going on.

Kenta: (Blushing hard) Um, yes, I'm fine. (Sees that Jacob was getting back up) Um, thank you, Jacob, for rescuing me.

Jacob: Don't mention it.

Katie then tries to walk towards Kenta to help her up, but as she went to do so, she walked over an invisible string, making a huge log to fall on her to crush her.

Zack: KATIE! WATCH OUT!

Katie: Huh?

Zack quickly jumped up and punched the log and kicked it, making it burst into a bunch of pieces and have it fall around Katie instead of on her.

Zack: Are you okay Katie?

Katie: I'm okay... Thank you.

Kenta: This place is a death trap.

Jacob: Whoever lives here, doesn't want us to be here.

Zack: Everyone, be on your guard. Keep your eyes open for any traps. (Everyone nods)

Everyone began looking around, making sure that they don't start any more traps that may be laying around. Jacob tries to step forward and looks around to see if anything is out of place After looking around for a while, they came to the conclusion that there were no more traps.

Emily: Can I come in now?

Everyone: No!

Emily: How come?

Katie: There's a lot of traps laying around here.

Emily then walked a few feet away from the house with a pout on her face.

A few minutes later, about thirty feet away from the stone house, we see that a man riding on a motorcycle was riding his way to the house. The motorcycle also had a passenger buggy, which a passenger was ridding, and that passenger was a twelve-year-old girl. The man driving the motorcycle is named Edward, the Desert Bandit. Edward is seventeen years old. He is 6'0 feet tall and weighs 150 pounds, and ripped. Edward has long black hair with bangs, brown eyes, but we were wearing sand goggles to prevent the sand from getting into his eyes. Edward was wearing a dark blue jacket with dark silver shirt and long black pants. The twelve-year-old girl passenger was Edward's little sister, Alice. She was the same size as Kenta, and also had long black hair with bangs and brown eyes. She was also wearing sand goggles to prevent the sand from getting into her eyes. Alice was wearing a black shirt and dark blue pants. The motorbike then pulls over when they arrive at the back of the house.

Alice: That was a good hull, wasn't bro?

Edward: Sure was. (He then hears voices in the house) Do you hear that?

Alice: (Takes a listen) Sounds like someone is in the house.

Edward: Yeah. (Takes out his MP5 and gives his sister one) Let's see who our invited guest is.

Edward and Alice took the secret entrance in the back by push a certain spot on the wall, and a door opened up, they then went inside. When they went inside the back door, they arrived at their rooms and head over to the stairs where there was a balcony. There they saw Jacob, Zack, and Kenta looking through the house.

Kenta: Have you found anything yet?

Zack & Jacob: Not yet.

Edward: Well, well, well, (The kids look up and see that Edward and Alice were all pointing their guns at them) Look who we got here. Three noisy kids. Who are you three, and what are you doing in our house?

Kenta: Easy now... We are just looking for something.

Alice: (Points her gun at Kenta) And what are you three looking for that made you want to break into our house.

Zack: We don't have to answer to you. Ecspelley after you tried to kill us with those traps. We almost lost two friends of ours thanks to you.

Edward: Kid, that's the point. Those traps were made to keep intruders like you out. Though I will admit, I am impressed that you kids are still alive after you triggered the traps. So I'm going to give you kids one chance to turn around and leave this place and forget that you even saw us.

Zack: We're not leaving until we get what we came for.

Alice: And what is that? What is it that you are looking for that made you want to invade our house?!

Jacob: It's a shard (Pulls a shard out and shows her) Like this one.

Zack: Jacob! Don't show them!

Alice: (Whispers to Edward) They look just like our family heirloom.

Edward: Indeed.

Seeing that Edward was distracted, Zack jumped up and kicked Edward in the balls, making him drop his gun, drop down to his knees and tender to his balls, Zack then kicked Edward in the face, sending him flying and knocking him out cold. Alice was about to shoot Zack, but he kicked her gun out of her hands. He then uses his ki to make a whip to tide them up.

Zack: Now, take your friend and get out of here!

Alice: But we live here!

Zack: Not anymore! This is our home now! Get out of here before I knock you out too!

Fearing for her life, Alice picked up her unconscious brother and ran out. Jacob and Kenta were shocked to see this side of Zack. Soon, Katie finally came out of the bathroom.

Katie: Hey guys, what's going on? I heard a lot of yelling.

Zack: Don't worry, we handled it. Let's just keeping searching for the shards.

Emily: Hey guys, can I come in now?

Zack: NO! I TOLD YOU TO STAY OUTSIDE! DON'T MAKE ME REPEAT MYSELF, LADY!

Everyone was shocked to see Zack so angry, and we're all wondering what suddenly gotten into him.

Kenta: Um... actually, my sister does have the radar, so having her around will make the search much faster.

Zack: Then just take it from her! She does not need to be here! UNDERSTOOD! (Kenta just stood there, shocked at Zack's behavior)

Katie: Zack, can I have a word with you for a minute?

Zack: (Sighs) Fine, but make it quick.

Katie: You two continue finding the shards, I'm going to have a word with Zack. (They both nod)

Both Zack and Katie leave the house, Emily sees them leaving, and Katie gives Emily a nod, letting her know that it's okay for her to enter the house, which she did. After walking a few feet away from the house, they began to talk.

Zack: Okay, what is it?

Katie: Don't "What is it" to me, okay. What's gotten into you, Zack? This isn't like you.

Zack: (Sigh) I was scared.

Katie: (Surprise) Scared? Scared of what?

Zack: Scared of losing you. (This surprises Katie) When I saw that log falling on you, I feared that I was going to lose you. I feared that even if I destroyed the log, it would somehow kill you. And then there were those bandits, pointing guns at us. The fear of losing Jacob, Kenta, or even you... I guess it made me snap. I don't ever want to lose anybody who is close to me, not after what happened to Hoppy.

Katie: You're still sad about Hoppy?

Zack: Always.

For those who are wondering who Hoppy is, Hoppy was Zack's pet rabbit five years ago. Zack and Katie met a rabbit in the woods, and they would play with it. Zack would soon name the rabbit, Hoppy. Zack was only seven years old at the time. However, three weeks after Katie and Zack met Hoppy, they found a fox killing Hoppy for dinner when they arrived at the forest to play with him. Zack was devasted when he found his pet bunny killed by the hands of a fox. After Zack killed the fox, he and Katie buried it and gave it a small funeral. Ever since Hoppy's funeral, Zack made a promise that he would always be there to help his friends at their time of need.

After remembering Hoppy, Zack grunts in tears, and Katie hugs him for comfort.

Katie: It's okay Zack, I miss Hoppy too. But at least we know that Hoppy is in a better place.

Zack: (Wipe his tears off) Yeah, he sure is, he was my first friend of a bunny, we always play with him, feed him, sleep together with him. I asked Grandpa if we can keep him as he accepted, I was making a home for him, but if only I should've at least kept him closer with me. If that darn fox didn't kill him. I was sad, upset and very angry! Angry as I blamed myself, I wish he was here now. So we can take him to travel around the journey with our new friend, and it'll be great, I was scared to lose you or our new friends, that why I wanted to train to grow strong.

Katie: I know.

They then heard crying and sniffing as they turn to see Emily, Jacob, and Kenta who listening to it.

Katie: Guys?

Zack: How much did you hear?

Jacob: The part where your pet bunny died.

Zack: Oh, yeah, Hoppy was a nice and cute rabbit.

Kenta: We're sorry for what happened to it.

Emily: Me too.

Zack: Thanks and sorry guys that I snapped like that, you too Emily.

Emily: It's okay you guys, I'm sorry how I've been acting lately, rude, impatient and stuff. It's just...

Kenta: What is it, sis?

Emily: It's just because I'm the oldest here, I feel that I need to be in charge.

Kenta: Emily, you always be the oldest but oldest or not, I know she is your responsibility and even to look out for me, but we all do and not doing it alone.

Katie: She's right, I mean besides you don't wanna be like those bad people around, cuz you don't wanna be worst like them?

Emily: No, I just new to me of traveling and I never did it, I try to pull whatever I thought I know and do when was growing up.

kenta: Yeah is new to me.

Jacob: And me.

Katie: Zack and I travel but sometimes is newer, but we adapt and get used to it.

Jacob: So even how you acted, we don't hate you, but it feels like we should all get along.

Zack: Emily, the key to this that we all do together, is about doing the right thing and want to get the heart, not just by age I mean, is alright sometimes people be in charge but in some right situation, is like a team as we all lead.

Emily: (Smiles) You're right Zack, it is.

Everyone smiles and soon went back to the house to look for the Crystal Shards. Thanks to Emily's help by using her radar, they managed to find the crystal shards inside Alice's room inside her jewelry box.

Emily: Hey guys, I found it.

Katie: Sweet.

Jacob: I think we got five now.

Kenta: And you would be right.

Zack: It is getting late, how about we crash here for the night and continue onwards tomorrow.

Everyone nods in agreement.


Later in the night, about fifty feet away from the stone house, Alice and Edward are seen at a campsite with a fireplace, and Alice is seen tendering to her big brother. Soon, Edward is seen waking up after being knocked out by Zack.

Alice: Ah, you're finally up. I feared that you were put into a coma.

Edward: Ow, my head. What happened?! And why are we outside? Why are we not at our place?

Alice: Um... Yeah, about that...

Alice then explained what happened while he was knocked out, and how Zack and the others kicked them out of their own house.

Edward: WHAT?! PLEASE TELL ME YOU'RE JOKING!

Alice: I'm afraid not. They kicked us out and threatened to beat me up if I didn't get out with you. (Starts crying) I barely got us out of there with our lives still intact.

Edward: Those bastards! I promise you, Alice, they won't get away with this!
