Chapter 6: The Attack of the Ungero, Nya!

(Back in Chapter Five…)

Suddenly, the three Ed's heard a loud 'thump' sound coming from outside, "What was that sound?" questioned Eddy.

"I-I don't know. It sounded like it came from the center parking lot."

"… We gotta meet up there."

"Huh?!"

"Huh? Why?"

"It's just this feeling I got, alright?!" Eddy slightly snapped.

"… Very well, I will see you two in a second."

"Bye guys!"

Soon all three Ed's hung up their phones as they soon trailed towards their front doors, heading out to the Cul-De-Sac…

(And now, onto Chapter Six…)

Since their houses were closer together than Ed's house, Double D and Eddy met up in the road leading up to the center of the Cul-De-Sac. Ed arrived shortly afterwards.

"What do you think that sound was?" Eddy asked as he turned to Double D, expecting an answer from him.

"I'm not real sure Eddy," Double D replied to his short friend, "But whatever it was, it seemed to have passed us now."

"Ed-Boys!" stated a familiar voice from one direction behind them as they soon saw Rolf coming up to them, "What are you Three-Ed-Boys doing out here?"

"We… woke when we heard a weird sound out here," Double D replied to the blue haired foreigner.

Rolf seemed surprised to hear that, "So, Rolf was not hearing things…"

"What, you heard it too Rolf?" Eddy asked.

"Yes," Rolf said with a nod of his head, "It looks as if it came and gone faster than--"

"Great! You're all here now," said a sudden voice from out of nowhere as the three Ed's and Rolf looked around for the source of the voice.

Soon a figure comes up to them. It was a boy that was about one year older than the Ed's and was around Rolf's age. He had boyish blond that was pulled back into a long ponytail and had bright, ocean blue eyes. He wore something that was sort of weird; he wore a long, blue jacket and a blue suit under the jacket that a sort of fantasy warrior would wear. He also had a sword on a belt he wore around his waist and also had pointed elf-like ears.

"Whoa!" Eddy exclaimed with surprise at the teen's appearance, "Who the heck are you?!"

"I am Sapphire Knight," replied the teen, "I'm here to tell you all of your destinies."

Suddenly, there was a collection of five screams in the Lane. Those screams got everyone's attention.

"I will explain everything to you four later," Sapphire Knight said as he and the others looked in the direction of the Lane, "We have to help the ones we must protect."

Suddenly, the three Ed's and Rolf felt lightheaded as the four of them then felt themselves changing…

"Ahhh!!!" cried out the five Mews as they were dodging the strikes and blows of a mysterious monster that looked like a blue tiger.

"Grr, this is getting ridiculous!" growled Mew Mint (AN: Who is Corina, for those who don't know) as she stopped running and turned back towards the tiger-like monster. She produced her Mint Arrow in her hand and points it at the tiger monster.

"Reborn…" she pulls back the arrow in her crossbow as the tip of the arrow starts to glow a bright blue, "Mint Echo!" Mew Mint shouted as she then let's go of the arrow. The arrow heads straight towards the tiger monster, hitting it in the left shoulder. It howls in pain for a brief moment, but continued to run towards the five Mews, with Mew Mint as its closest and main target.

Mew Mint gasped with horror as the tiger monster came barreling towards her. She closed her eyes, expecting the pain and impact to come.

"Mint! Get out of the way!" cried Mew Ichigo from the sideline as she and the other three Mews tried to come over to the blue haired Mew.

But before the tiger monster or the other four Mews could get to her… she disappeared within a flash. This made the tiger monster and the other Mews stop in their tracks, "Mint? Where are you?!" called out Mew Zakuro.

The tiger soon started to sniff the air and soon trailed to somewhere else, which was not really noticed by the other four Mew girls… It was looking for Mew Mint.

"It is alright, girls," said a familiar voice to the four Mews as they see the Sapphire Knight come running to them, "She was taken to safety by Topaz Knight."

"Who?"

"I will explain it another time," Sapphire Knight said as he turned around to three figures behind him that all looked similar to him; they were dressed in red, green and dark purple, "We must all find Mew Mint and Topaz Knight's location, for that is where the tiger monster is going to now."

Meanwhile, in the center parking lot of the Cul-De-Sac, we can see Mew Mint beginning to open her eyes, realizing that she was not being mauled by a tiger monster. But when she fully opened her cyan blue eyes, she noticed that she was not alone. Mew Mint was being held, bridal style, by a slightly short, mysterious figure that she couldn't see very clearly because of the lack of light.

The figure then looked down towards her, "You alright now?" the figure asked; it was a young male voice that sounded very familiar; but yet, it seemed to be a little off somehow.

"Y-Yes, I'm fine…" Mew Mint muttered a little as she then noticed that they were approaching a streetlight, where Mew Mint could finally see the face of her rescuer. She gasped at him as he finally placed her on her feet.

The preteen boy that carried her was dressed similarly to Sapphire Knight, only his color pattern was yellow. He also had a thick sword that was being carried by a strap on his shoulder and back; it was a buster sword, like Cloud Strife would use, only it was a little smaller to fit the boy's size and height. The boy also had dark, blue hair that had three strands sticking out towards the front of his face and had dark, ice blue eyes.

Mew Mint was blushing madly at the boy, "Who… are you?"

The boy clad in yellow made a warm smile to Mew Mint, "I am Topaz Knight, and I'm here to protect you from harm; for now and forever, Mint…"

Those words made Mew Mint blush even more, almost to the color of a beet, "T-Thank you, Topaz Knight…"

The two of them suddenly heard a growling sound coming from behind Mew Mint as she turned around to see the tiger monster sneaking up to her. The tiger monster now had three tentacles on each of its sides. And before the two of them could do anything, the tentacles on the tiger stretched out towards Mew Mint as the tentacles constricted around her body tightly and lifted her up high into the air. She screamed in tremendous pain as she could feel her energy leaving her body and traveling down through the tentacles of the tiger monster. Finally she could no longer scream as she gave into the pain; she passed out from the loss of her stolen energy.

Topaz Knight looked on with horror as the tentacles then let go of Mew Mint; she was falling towards the ground, "Mint!" he cried as he then rushed over to where she would impact. He quickly caught her before she could hit the ground.

"Need some help there, Topaz?" asked Sapphire Knight as he and the other Mews (AN: And the other knights, I might add) came up to the scene.

Topaz Knight could only nod his head, "Yeah, I'll stay here and help Mint," he said as he laid the blue haired Mew gently on the ground.

Everyone nodded their heads as they soon turned towards the tiger monster, who was staring them all down.

"Let's finish this!" Mew Ichigo stated as she took out her Strawberry Bell and faced the bell towards the tiger monster, "Reborn…" she started to say as the Strawberry Bell started to glow a pink light in her hands, "Strawberry Check!" she shouted as a beam of bright, pink light spewed out from the bell and pierced through the tiger monster, making it evaporate into nothing.

But as the monster evaporated, they saw a cloud of blue-colored fog floating away towards the entrance of the Cul-De-Sac, away from them, "Was that… what I think it was?" questioned Mew Lettuce.

"I think so," said the knight in red, "It was Mint's energy."

"So, the new enemy is gathering energy…?" Mew Pudding stated, tilting her head to the side, "What will they do with it?"

"I don't know…" said the knight in green.

They all soon turned back to Topaz Knight and Mew Mint as they heard Mint say weakly, "To… paz…"

"… I think it is time for my other comrades to introduce themselves," Sapphire Knight said as everyone turned to him and the other three knights.

The first knight soon stepped forward. He was dressed similarly to Sapphire Knight, only his color pattern was red. He had a medium sized, razor ring that was dangling from his belt. The boy also had dark, shaggy black hair and had dark, jade green eyes, "I am Ruby Knight," he introduced himself as he looked towards Mew Lettuce, "I'm brought here to protect Lettuce with my life," Mew Lettuce blushed at that as Ruby Knight stepped back.

Soon the second knight stepped forward. He was also dressed similarly to Sapphire Knight, only his color pattern was green. He had a pair of long, razor claws on a pair of leather gloves that he wore on both of his hands. He also had bright, fiery red hair that was in a sort of long, buzz cut and had green-brown hazel eyes, "I am Emerald Knight," he said with a wide smile to Mew Pudding, "I'm here to protect Pudding from the bad guys!" Pudding seemed to smile at him as he then stepped back into the line.

Finally, the third knight stepped forward. He also dressed similarly to Sapphire Knight, only his color pattern was purple. He had two bladed tonfas that were currently hanging on his belt. The teen had slightly bushy, navy blue, almost black hair and had dark, dirt colored eyes, "I am Amethyst Knight," he said with a slightly rough accent, compared to the other knights, as he then looked at Mew Zakuro, "I am here to protect Zakuro for the evils to come," Zakuro seemed to stare blankly at him as he then stepped back towards the others.

"… Alright, you must go now knights," Sapphire said as he then walked over to Topaz Knight and the passed out Mew Mint, "Since I know where Mint lives, I will take her home."

Topaz made a slightly worried face, "But…"

"You will know who she is soon, Topaz," Sapphire said, "But you do not need to know now."

Topaz Knight made a sigh as he then got up from where he kneeled and walked off with the other Knights. Sapphire made a sigh, 'Maybe I should have told him…'

"Mark?" questioned Mew Ichigo as she and the other Mews came to him and Mew Mint, "Who were they?"

"… They are your classmates at school," Sapphire said as he then picks up Mint from where she lied, "You will probably figure them out soon."

The four other Mews arched an eyebrow at Sapphire; that really didn't answer their question… It actually did; they just didn't figure it out…

Wow, two chapters in one day?! Blasphemy! Well, the reason why is that I stayed from school today to help my dad, who had some kind of surgery done. So yeah, today was a free day! 8D

Edit: Oops! Forgot to mention something! Instead of calling Blue Knight "Blue Knight", I decided to call him Sapphire Knight instead. It sounds more cool... I think. ;
