Chapter 11: Village Attack
A few weeks after training
"Ahhh!"
"Run!"
The whole kingdom woke up that morning to a huge fire surrounding their village. The fire had already killed half the village and was still spreading. The three girls woke in the maid quarters to all the maids bustling around getting what belongings they could before running out of the room. The girls got up in a flash grabbed their bags and ran out into the hall.
The hall was already filled with smoke from the fire. They bent down low to the floor and started to help any one that needed help because of the smoke. After they got everyone out in the maids' wing they ran to the other closest wings. They split up and went to help anyone else in need.
"Hello?" Miyako said in her soft voice coughing. She was in the South wing "Is anyone there?"
"Kaoru kicked open all the doors in the West wing. She came to a door and heard a loud banging. She kicked the door open and a swarm of the King and Queens' relatives came out followed shortly by a wave of fire covering the door. Kaoru redirected them to the closest exit and then ran down the hall.
"Does anyone need help?!" she screamed.
She heard muffled screaming from the end of the hall. She ran there and found the door locked from the outside. She didn't have the key she used her shoulder and started pushing into the door. After a few hits the door slammed open and she saw a couple little kids huddled together.
She picked them up and ran down the hall to make sure no one was left behind. She ran through the smoke and out the place doors. When she finally got outside she let the kids go and found Miyako and Momoko. They looked around the village and saw a lot of the villagers killed and lying in a puddle of their own blood.
They looked around to find the culprit and found an army of men going around and slashing everybody. They heard screams all around and got prepared to fight.
"Miyako protect the three children I brought!" Kaoru yelled ad pulled out her kunai and slashed a few men in the neck. Momoko soon followed stabbing a few in the side. Miyako was throwing a few kunai to deflect attacks coming at her and the children. She grabbed them and flipped over backwards a little towards a still burning castle.
"Why are you here?" Kaoru yelled at a soldier clashing kunai against sword.
"Wouldn't you want to know," the guy smirked and went in for a slash at Kaoru's side.
Kaoru blocked the sword with her kunai and slashed the man's stomach. He fell clutching it and Kaoru jumped over him. Kaoru went to kill more of the men coming at her. She threw some shuriken to block an attack and plunged her kunai into a person's neck.
She ran towards the middle of the village. She injured some more guys and started looking for Momoko. She saw Momoko holding off five soldiers at once. She was going to help when someone slammed into her. She got up and rubbed her head.
"What happened?" Kaoru asked.
She looked down and saw Kenta just getting up in front of her and going in to fight again. She looked towards Momoko and saw that she had started fighting with Takeshi. She shrugged and flipped over Kenta. She pulled out another Kunai and threw it. She grabbed it out of the persons wound and slashed his chest. The soldier screamed in pain and grabbed her leg as she was jumping back. She fell over and hit the bloody floor.
She got up and tackled the guy stabbing him. The soldier fell dead and Kaoru ran over to Kenta. She went back to back with Kenta and started attacking what was left of the army.
With Miyako
Miyako was still holding off the soldiers and trying not to back the children into the burning palace. She heard screams she assumed were left by Kaoru. She grabbed the children and jumped to avoid another attack made by some soldiers. They kept attacking one by one and she had to keep jumping back to avoid them.
She threw some kunai and it hit them head on. Some fell to the floor others still came towards her from all sides. She looked around trying to figure out what side to attack first and still be able to keep the children safe. The soldiers were closing in on her.
'I have to think of something fast!' Miyako thought. 'I can't use my water it's too hot'
She was still backing up protecting the children from danger. The soldiers took their bows and strung their arrows. They aimed for Miyako and the children they let go the arrows and Miyako jumped to cover the children with her body. She didn't feel anything and looked up. She didn't see anyone. She felt a breeze and found she was in the air. She stood up and walked a little and looked over the side. She looked down and saw Kaoru doing the pose to bring the rock back down.
"Hey though you could use some help!" Kaoru smirked.
"Thanks Kaoru," Miyako said.
A few minutes later Kenta, Momoko, and Takeshi ran up to them taking down the rest of the men surrounding Miyako and Kaoru.
"Where's your brother?" Miyako asked quietly.
"We thought you were with him we've been looking for him for a while now." Takeshi thought. "By the way where are you guys' siblings?"
"Don't worry they'll be safe." They assured the boys.
They looked around. There were a few men retreating through the forest. The castle and village was still on fire.
"Before we find your brother we have to stop the fire." Momoko said then turned to Miyako. "Do you think you can stop the fire?" she asked.
"Sure I just need to be away from it so I can make water." Miyako said quietly.
"Alright you do that. The rest of us try to find other ways to stop the fire." Momoko said.
Miyako went as far as possible away from the fire and started to do her elemental positions. Meanwhile Kaoru started turning the earth to sand as best as she could and threw it over the fire. The rest were looking for survivors. It took a while. But Kaoru and Miyako finally stopped the fire and ran to Momoko. They were gathering up the survivors and lining up the dead.
Miyako looked at the dead bodied sadly. 'So many innocent people. Dead.' She thought.
Miyako looked at the rest of them and found them in the same state. "Where are you Takeo?!" Takeshi yelled into the air.
"You still can't find him?" Miyako asked. The boys nodded sadly. She bowed her head.
"Hey guys! Over here!" they heard Kaoru yell.
They ran over and saw her carrying out an unconscious body from some rubble. She laid the person off to the side. They looked and saw that the person was Takeo.
"Oh no," Miyako gasped slightly. "What happened?"
Takeo started to come to. "What happened?" he asked trying to sit up and rubbing his head.
Miyako knelt down next to him and helped him into a sitting position. "Are you alright?" she asked quietly.
"Yeah," he replied with a smile. "Just a couple scratches and stabs."
"Takeshi and I'll go look for Valese, Shou, Kuriko, and Dai." Momoko said and pulled Takeshi through the large village of dead bodies.
Kaoru and Kenta did the same, but going to look for the king and queen in the palace.
With Kenta and Kaoru
Kenta and Kaoru ran into the falling apart palace and split up down the halls the came back to the middles staircase and ran up the stairs. They found a lot of things turned over and burnt to a crisp there. They walked around carefully and looked into the rooms.
They went down another staircase Kenta leading. Kenta was half way down the stairs when it fell in. Kaoru grabbed Kenta around the waist and pulled him up so he wouldn't fall through.
"Thanks," Kenta breathed out.
"No problem," Kaoru said. "Let's go back and try a different place."
"Sure," Kenta said and they made their way down another hallway.
With Momoko and Takeshi
"Kuriko!" Momoko and Takeshi yelled.
"Kuriko! Shou! Valese! Dai!" they yelled running around the village.
They ran into the hut they lived in and looked around. They saw a light coming from the burnt house and ran in. They looked through the rooms and came to the back room, where the glow was coming from. They looked into the room and saw Dai letting down his healing shield. He fell forward Shou and Kuriko catching him.
Momoko and Takeshi ran up to them and asked if they were okay. "Yeah we're all right I just think Dai lost a lot of energy trying to keep us safe." Valese replied.
"Alright," Momoko said and picked up Dai and told the rest to follow her. On her way there Momoko was sending in some of her energy to Dai's body.
They ran to where Miyako and Takeo were and saw that Takeo was sort of able to stand up.
"Where are Butch and Kaoru?" Takeshi asked.
"They went to look for you mother and father in the palace, they haven't gotten back yet." Miyako replied quietly.
"Alright Kuriko do you think you can heal the survivors?" Momoko asked.
Kuriko nodded. "I'll do the best I can." She said. She walked over to Takeo first and healed his wounds. She ran over to the survivors and started healing the hurt survivors.
Momoko, Takeshi and Miyako helped Takeo up. He was still in some pain, but not much.
With Kenta and Kaoru.
Kenta and Kaoru have been running around the castle for a while now looking for the king and queen. They tried everywhere, but the throne room. They ran up to the double doors and started moving the huge debris that fell in the way. After a while they finally removed everything and ran in.
They looked around and were surprised that the room was left standing. Nothing was burned at all. They looked around. They walked to where the thrones were and looked behind the curtain. They saw a door and they tried to open it. They were both thrown back by an unknown power.
Kaoru stood up and walked to the door again. Her hand hovered over the door knob and she felt a power coming from it. Her eyes glowed a forest green color and froze. Kenta ran over to her and grabbed her by the shoulders taking her out of her trance.
"What happened?" she asked him still a little out of it.
"I don't know your eyes started growing and you suddenly froze," Kenta said.
Kaoru looked back at the door knob and hovered her hand over it again. Her hand began to glow the same forest green color and the door knob started glowing a white color. Kaoru put her green glowing hand on the door knob and opened it. Kenta and Kaoru looked in and saw the king, Queen, and a lot of the family inside the room. The queen fell limp and the king caught her.
Kaoru ran up to her and put her hand on the queen's shoulder her hand beginning to glow again. The Queen's body started to absorb the glowing energy on Kaoru's hand.
"What are you doing?" Kenta looked at Kaoru amazed.
"I gave her some of my energy. She put up a really strong light barrier, but not strong enough for me to break." Kaoru stood up and walked out the door. The family followed her. Kaoru was careful to not lead them down already caved in halls and stair cases.
When they finally reached out side everyone gasped at the dead bodies littering the village. They saw Miyako, Takeshi, Miyako, and Takeo lifting the dead bodies and lining them up to dig graves for them. They walked over and began to help. The King and Queen looked with horror in their eyes and followed Kenta and Kaoru to where Miyako, Takeo, Momoko, Takeshi, and the siblings were resting.
When they arrived they began to talk about what they would do when an arrow whizzed past Kuriko's head and into a pile of rubble behind her. Momoko looked up to where the arrow came from getting ready for a fight. A man a girl about ten and a boy about eleven years old jumped down from a tree.
"Who are you?" Momoko asked furious.
"Calm down," the man smirked.
Momoko calmed down a little and tugged Kuriko closer to herself. Dai doing the same with Shou when they saw how the two kids eyed them with intent to kill.
"Who are you," Kaoru repeated with annoyance.
"I am Him. This is Kari and Daichi." The man smirked and bowed slightly.
"And you are her why?" Kaoru asked.
"We come with a warning." He said.
"We want your elemental crystals." Kari smirked and crossed her hands over her chest.
"If you want something like what happened today to happen again you will come to the place said on the paper attached to the arrow and hand them over." Daichi said taking out a Kunai and threw it tearing Kuriko's shirt sleeve.
Kuriko grabbed where the kunai sliced and moved closer to her sister.
"Why do you want the elemental crystals?!" Momoko yelled.
"You'll find out when you come to the island." Him said and shot a red beam at Valese.
Everyone moved to protect, but couldn't get there in time. She looked at the beam in fear and screamed a loud piercing scream. Everyone froze in place as the beam hit her. Valese opened her eyes when she didn't feel anything. The beam had frozen in place.
Valese looked at it in question and then looked at everyone else. Him looked surprised and tried to move the beam again. It didn't move. Him tried again with the same results.
Valese moved out of the way and the beam moved again and hit the rubble behind her. Valese looked at it her eyes wide and asked what happened.
"I think you have powers to Valese." Miyako said.
Meanwhile, Him was directing another attack towards them and shot it. Valese turned around and screamed again. Again the beam stopped. Him aimed more beams at them, but this time almost hit them.
'That's weird. When Valese screamed the beam stopped, but when she didn't it kept going.' Miyako thought. 'I wonder if it reacts to her voice!'
"Valese! Say something to stop the beams!" Miyako half yelled.
"Okay! Um… Stop!" the beam kept coming. "Stop!"
'What's wrong?' Miyako thought. 'It should have worked.
"Valese! Sing it!!" Momoko yelled.
"Um... Stop!" she screamed in a sing-song voice.
The beam stopped. Valese sighed in relief and Him looked surprised.
"Fine! You and you're little stupid powers!" he yelled. "I still want those crystals! Or you will be Sorry!"
Daichi, Kari, and Him left in a gust of wind and faded away.
"You think we should?" Kaoru asked.
"We have to Kaoru. We wouldn't want something like this to happen again." Momoko said sadly.
"Yes Kaoru, we have to," Miyako said quietly.
"Fine we'll do it?" Kaoru said.
"Yes," Miyako and Momoko nodded.
"Do what?" the boys asked with the king and Queen nodded.
"We'll explain." Momoko said. "But first we need to send a letter to the professor to send us our pirate crew."
"On it," the King said.
"William, please send a letter to Luna Island ASAP." The King said.
William nodded and left quickly.
"Now what is this all about? And your pirates Huh?" the boys said.
"First this has to do with Valese" Miyako said. "I think Valese has a power too."
"But what is my power?" Valese asked.
"Judging by how you used it. I would say you have the power of sound." Momoko said.
"Sound how do I use the power of sound?"
"All you do is sing Valese. You have a wonderful voice you deserve the power." Miyako said.
Valese sighed and nodded. She started singing and then Momoko attacked her. As expected the stack was stopped.
"I think she can do more than stop attacks" Kaoru said. "I think she can corrupt the mind with the sound vibrations depending on how high or low her voice is."
"Okay second we are undercover as pirates." Momoko said.
"How can you be undercover Pirates?!" Takeshi yelled.
"We work for this corporation run by our Boss. Our undercover is as Pirates." Miyako explained.
"We were asked by the King and Queen, your parents, to be your body guards because someone had been sent to assassinate you twice correct?" Kaoru asked.
The King nodded. The boys looked at their parents with wide eyes.
"You got girls to be our body guards!" they yelled. "How could you!"
"It wasn't our choice." They said. "Their boss sent them! We didn't know they were going to be girls. We knew how much you hate them."
"Hey!" the girls said.
"Sorry," the boys looked at them in fear.
"Anyways, there are these crystals we have called elemental crystals." Miyako started.
"And what are elemental crystals?" Takeo asked.
"Elemental crystals are crystals that we were entrusted to when we got our powers." Kaoru said.
"How come we don't have elemental crystals though?" Takeshi said.
"You don't have elemental crystals because your powers are separated from the main powers." Momoko said.
"Huh?"
"It works like this. You see there are these four creatures. They have the powers of Air, Water, Fire, and Earth. Since we have those main powers except of Air, which our Boss has, we have the elemental crystals."
"I sort of get it." Takeshi said.
"You see your powers are derived from our main powers. Like wind. You may think wind and air are the same thing, but they are not." Kaoru said.
"How?" Kenta asked.
"You see wind comes from air. Wind is air, but it is blowing. Another example is Takeshi's power of being psychic and the newly found power of sound by Valese. Like water has vibrations those powers use nothing, but vibrations. Sound using the sound vibrations and psychic powers using the vibrations of the brain and controlling it." Momoko said.
"Okay we get it now," they said and the girls continued.
"Now since we are the protectors of the crystals we can't let it fall into the wrong hands. It also keeps us alive." Momoko said.
"What do you mean keeps you alive?" Takeo asked.
"The crystals are sealed inside our bodies. If someone learns how to take them out we'll still live, but if the crystals were broken we lose all our energy and die." Miyako said quietly.
"I see," they said.
"But why do they want the crystals?" the Queen asked.
"The crystals have a lot of power sealed inside it. It's the excess power from the four elemental creatures that gave the humans the elemental powers." Kaoru replied with her hands crossed over her chest.
"Ohh"
"But that's not only it." Momoko said. "I think they want to use it to make the world turn to pure darkness."
"What," everyone looked at Momoko surprised.
"I think that because for every good thing there has to be a bad thing like Yin and Yang." She replied turning to Kaoru and Miyako. "Remember when we were researching our powers and we found out that the elemental creatures were separated from their evil sides so they gave the elements evil."
"Yeah I remember that." They said.
"So what are you going to do?" the King asked.
"We are going to the place mentioned in the letter attached to this arrow." Momoko said picking up said arrow and getting the piece of paper off.
"Were coming too." the boys said.
"You three can't" Kaoru said.
"And why not?" they answered.
"You three aren't nearly done with your training. Sure you can use them a little more than you used to now, but you still don't know if they'll work or not if you want them too." Miyako said.
"But we can help." They begged. "Please."
"Let them go," the King said.
"Why?" the girls asked.
"I think it would be good training and experience for them. After all they haven't left this palace since they were bored." He said.
"Alright." Momoko smiled. "They're coming"
The boys jumped for joy and laughed.
A couple days later
The boat and crew had arrived at the dock and everyone was saying good bye. In the past couple days everyone left from the village had been trying to rebuild it with help from the girls' powers. They almost finished and now were saying good bye to the three princes and the girls.
"Hey Momo, Omiya, Okou have you three been keeping the boat nice for us?" the Momoko and Kaoru asked. (Remember Miyako is silent)
"Of course captains why wouldn't we?" they answered.
The boys walked up to the girls and their mouths dropped. They were looking at three girls who looked just like Momoko, Kaoru, and Miyako just with different hairstyles. The girls laughed and told them to come over.
"Hey guys this is Momo, Omiya, and Okou." Kaoru and Momoko said.
"Why do you look like them?" they asked.
"What you three don't want someone else to look like your girlfriends Okou (the Kaoru look-alike) said.
"They are not our girlfriends. They are our friends and bodyguards." They said.
"Oh so you need women body guards now," she asked.
"It wasn't our choice1" they yelled/ Takeo said.
"Alright alright calm down." Okou said then turned to the girls and smirked. "You three really know how to pick em."
"What ever Okou let's go we have limited time." They replied in their usual cold voice when they were with their crew and everyone got on board.
They raised the sails and they were off to the Land of Shadows. The girls showed the boys the ship and told them where they would be most of the time and introduce them to the rest of the crew.
"This journey is going to take a while." Kaoru said walking up to Miyako who was looking over the rail as usual.
Miyako nodded. "Back to the silent thing huh" Kaoru said. I noticed you were very talkative when Takeo was around. What's up with that?"
Miyako remained silent and Kaoru sighed and walked away. She saw Momoko and they began talking about plans for what was going to happen.
