S.F Chapter 5

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN PRINCE OF TENNIS

"There's no way you can fight on your own." Taka told her. Ryoma opened a secret compartment that hid a tube like chute, "I already promised that I would fight those monsters no matter what happened to me. Besides I've trained for two years to fight them and I'm not letting it go to waste." She jumped in the chute, "Echizen," they called out, but the door slammed shut.

The monster was scaring everyone; his tentacles kept destroying pieces of buildings. A little boy fell down and the mother tried to help him up, the monster lashed out a tentacle at them but a bird shaped light cut it clean off before impact. "Hey ugly, looking for me?" Ryoma called out. "Must get rid of newest team!" he growled. The monster took a deep breath and let out a powerful howl that sent Ryoma flying to the wall. She hit it so hard that it left a dent.

"Warning, monster power level increase by 20%." Cammy informed. The team was watching her from the giant monitor. "This isn't good; Echizen is going to seriously hurt out there." Oishi fussed. The others just watched Ryoma get caught in the monsters tentacles, "C-Cammy, send me the stats now!" she said, struggling. "Sending." Cammy replied, she sent the info to Ryoma's headset when it turned blue again, "Monster type: Wolpus, a wolf and octopus mutant. Special attacks: a high powered howl that can destroy a small building, it tentacles can easily break the strongest safe and can measure up to 8 meters. I suggest getting rid of the arms so that the howl will be the only problem." "Alright I'll get rid of the tentacles; in the meantime I need you to find a weak point so it can be destroyed." Ryoma ordered, finally getting free from the tentacle.

Ryoma pulled out the hilt and a sword of energy came out, it was shaped like an old school katana blade. She attacked with elegant moves as if she was dancing; all of the tentacles were cut cleaned off. All Ryoma had to be careful of was the howl. The Wolpus howled at her, Ryoma jumped at the tip of her feet to get away.

"That was the split step she used on Inui." Momo pointed out not taking his eyes away for a second. "So did Ochibi learn some of the moves from training to fight?" Eiji asked. "Affirmative." Cammy confirmed. "Did she choose to be a fighter because of her grandmother?" Fuji asked, with opened eyes. "That is only part of her reason." Cammy answered. "Then what's the other reason?" Tezuka asked; arms crossed.

"The young miss found one of the secret passages that leads to here." Cammy started, "She found the switch and activated me. That was when she asked me about the yokai wars, instead of explaining it to her, I showed her an old record of how the team began and once it was done she immediately wanted to begin training. She didn't want anyone's lives to be lost in this generation; she even suggested the idea of doing it alone. I told her that that was impossible, but she still went through the extreme levels of training." "So Echizen felt like it was her duty to protect that many people." Inui wrote it down.

The Wolpus howled again, Ryoma jumped up high but was caught by the other howl in midair. The blast shot her at the building and a lot of debris fell on top of her. "I can't take it anymore," Momo slammed the conference table, "we have to do something." Kaidoh hissed in agreement, "There's nothing that we can do, we didn't have the training that Ryoma had." Fuji pointed out. "Then what can we do?" Taka asked. "All we can do is watch." Eiji answered.

Ryoma managed to get out of the rubble but she there was a cut on her arm, it bled terribly. 'Miss are you alright?' Cammy asked from the headset. "I'm fine; did you find a weak point yet?" Ryoma stumbled. 'It appears that you have to hit the throat in order to get rid of it.' Cammy explained. Ryoma stood on her feet, "The throat huh? That should be easy enough." Ryoma jumped up, the Wolpus opened his mouth to howl, but Ryoma's sword threw a crescent shaped beam at it and it hit directly at the throat. The monster exploded and all that was left were ashes.

Ryoma entered the headquarters holding her injured arm. "Echizen are you okay?" they asked, running to her. "I'm fine, I just" she nearly fell until Fuji caught her. "Miss, should I send a first aid kit?" Cammy asked. "No, I'll heal it myself." Ryoma breathed deeply and a blue light flashed from her hand to the wound; when she released it the cut was completely healed. "Echizen; how did you?" Oishi asked. "It was one of the powers I was born with; you know the scale gave you the same healing power." She told him. Oishi just looked at her.

"Ryoma I need to talk to you about the offer you made." Fuji walked up to her. "What is it?" she looked up at him. "I want to help you fight." he opened his eyes. Ryoma looked at him with surprised eyes. "I'm wanna help out too." Eiji bounced up. "We all do." Taka stated. Ryoma looked at everyone, "Are you sure you're up to it?" she asked. Everyone nodded with determination in their eyes. Ryoma got up and took off her head set, "You do know that this isn't for the faint of heart. You need to be 100% dedicated to stop these monsters. You up for it?" she stared at them. "If it means protecting our home from monsters, we'll go through any amount of training." Momo declared. Tezuka nodded in agreement. Ryoma smiled and stood up, "I guess I was right to trust you, Cammy send up the shifters."

The conference table sank and reappeared with the same devise model that Ryoma has but in different color. "These are your Dragon Power Shifters, or D.P Shifters for short." She gestured them to line up. "Tezuka, you have strength but you also have the ability to control your emotions that won't falter your power. The power of the forest belongs to you." She handed him a green D.P Shifter. "You will also be in charge if I'm ever unable to take command."

"Oishi, you keep a cool head during matches but you still give concern to the people around you, the power of water is yours." she handed him the blue one.

"Eiji, your nimble and have very good motion detection skills. The power of air suits you perfectly." Eiji took the grey shifter with a grin on his face.

"Momo, Kaidoh, you both might fight a lot but you're both powerful and you both know where to hit it where it hurts, you two will be in charge of the earth." The two started to glare at each other.

"Taka, you may seem meek, but even a little spark can a giant wild fire, fire's power is all yours." Taka took the shifter, hoping not to go into burning mode when he grabbed it.

"Fuji, you hide your life in the shadows and always makes sure your intentions are mysterious, the nights own power is all yours." Fuji took the shifter with a sadistic smile on his face.

"Alright, we'll all start training in two days, so until then try not to cause any suspicion, Eiji, Momo I'm looking at you." The team started to snicker at them, knowing all full well that they most likely would like to tell someone about it. "Cammy send them home." The same tube from last sucked them up and sent them to the surface.

"I hope we'll be ready to face the Young Lord." she said taking out a picture, the picture was of a lovely women and a little girl of five.
