Sasami is the most mysterious out of all of the Elemental Soldiers but as this story progresses, you will learn about these magicial girls that would remind you of Sailor Moon to a degree.
And now, back to the story.
Chapter Seven. The Big Group Up
Sasami looked on as she descended from the sky, holding on to her umbrella. She looked up at first before looking straight ahead as the wind blew past her pink hair.
Within the minute, Sasami landed on the grounded safely. Looking at her surroundings, she found herself where she needed to be: Elk Grove.
"The Prophesied One is here," Sasami said, "He must be protected."
-Collision-Course-
James made his way to the church with Twyla sitting at the passengers side of his car and the Ronins and Guardians right behind them.
"Is this where the place is supposed to be?" Twyla asked.
"Pablo said there was only one community church." James answered. "I'm taking them there."
"Of course."
They found themselves at the church where Dalton, Pablo and Kelly were waiting. James and Twyla both stepped out of the car. He looked behind as the Ronins and the Guardians stepped out of their vehicle.
"So, these three must be Ash's friends." Kento glanced at Dalton, Pablo and Kelly.
"And these must be the Ronin Warriors and Guardians." Kelly replied, glancing at the newcomers.
"They must be here to protect the Prophesied One." Dalton stated.
"Speaking of which, where is Ash Williams?" Hana asked.
"At the moment he's at the funeral with his daughter Brandy." Pablo answered.
"These are Ash's friends, Pablo and Kelly, and this is one of the Knights of Sumeria, Dalton, also here to protect Ash from this ongoing evil." James introduced the two to his old friends before doing vice versa, "Pablo, Kelly, these are the Ronin Warriors and Lady Ronin Guardians."
"Good to meet you guys." Kelly replied.
"Oh boy." Pablo muttered. Everyone looked to see people leaving the church.
"Looks like the service has ended." Kelly stated.
"I see." Rowen nodded.
"We should go in and finally meet the legendary Ash Williams." Rekino suggested.
"What the short one said," Pablo replied.
"Excuse me!" Rekino exclaimed, "I'm not short! I'm fun sized!"
"Okay, okay," Pablo raised his hands up, "Sorry."
"We should get going." Ryo said, breaking up the argument.
-Collision-Course-
Ash looked on as the funeral for Candy had been cut by his run in with the Deadite form of his one time lover.
"Mr. Williams, I'd like to express my sincere condolences." a feminine voice spoke from behind.
"Oh well, thanks," Ash replied, "but you know, I didn't really know her..."
He was startled upon the woman moving back her black veil, revealing her blonde hair and blue eyes.
"Ruby."
"Excuse me?" Ruby glanced on, playing the act.
"Well," Ash scoffed, "if it ain't the She-Devil herself, in church no less. You found the Book, didn't you?"
"What are you doing?" Brandy demanded, returning to the room, "This is my guidance counselor Ms. Prevett."
"The one you're moving in with?" Ash asked in disbelief.
"That's right," Ruby/"Ms. Prevett" answered, "and I want to assure you, I only have your daughter's best interest at heart."
"I don't know how she's doing it, I don't know why she's doing it," Ash told his daughter, "but you've got to believe me, kiddo. Little Miss Moffatt here, is a black hearted hell beast!"
"I have known her for two whole years," Brandy stated in disbelief of her own, "seriously?!"
"I can almost explain. Who was your punk friend?"
"Rachel."
"Rachel, right. Well, Ruby made her and your mom into demons."
"Miss Prevett...turned my mom and my best friend into demons?" Brandy asked. She finally snapped, "I can't do this. I'm getting my stuff out of your creepy house, and I never want to see you again."
Within seconds, Brandy stormed out of the church.
"Oh, Brandy." Ash tried to call for his daughter but she was already gone.
Ruby stepped forward and faced Ash, "I think it's about time that you backed off, Ash. Of course, there's nothing you can do to me, but I'd hate for anything to happen to your precious little girl."
"You be careful, Ruby," Ash stepped forward, not backing down, "never get between a papa bear and his cub."
Ruby placed the veil back on her before leaving the church. He heard a crashing sound, and turned to see the casket on the floor, Candy's body and all as well.
He looked around the now empty church before looking at the decapitated body of Candy.
"Fuck me." Kelly stated as he heard a gasp from an unfamiliar female voice. "Looks like a snuff film in here."
Ash saw Pablo, Kelly and Dalton along with James and Twyla in tow with ten new faces.
"So are these the Ronin Warriors and Lady Ronin Guardians?" Ash asked.
"That would be us." the blonde girl answered.
"I am Ryo Sanada, leader of the Ronin Warriors known as Ryo of the Wildfire." the tiger eyed boy introduced himself before glancing towards the young lady with amethyst eyes. "This is my guardian, Lady Wildfire, Rekino Sanada."
"I can speak for myself, thank you, brother." Rekino replied.
"I'm Rowen Hashiba, known as Rowen of the Strata," the blue haired boy introduced himself.
"And my name is Mia Koji, Lady Strata." the brunette woman introduced herself.
"Sage Date, known as Sage of the Halo." the blonde boy with silver eyes spoke up.
"My name is Hana Marie Utano, I am Sage's guardian, Lady Halo." the blonde girl introduced herself.
"I'm Cye Mouri, known as Cye of the Torrent." Cye introduced himself.
"And I am his guardian, Lady Torrent," the short haired brunette spoke up, "Amaya Faye Blanchet."
Ash noticed the accents that Rowen, Cye and Amaya each had. Rowen had a Jersey accent, Cye's was British and Amaya's sounded French.
"And I'm Kento Rei Fuan, known as Kento of the Hardrock," the boy in orange spoke up, "and here..."
"Is Josephine Rei Fuan, his cousin and guardian," the blue haired girl interrupted him, "Lady Hardrock."
"Nice to meet all of you," Ash replied, "Well, you guys missed all the excitement. Everybody's favorite skanky demon Ruby is back, and she's yanking Brandy's chain."
"Your daughter?" Mia asked. Ash nodded in response.
"So, Ruby's back?" Pablo asked.
"Yes." Ash nodded.
"The Ruby that is planning to kill you?" James added. Ash nodded again.
"And this is the evil immortal Ruby." Kelly added.
"Mmm-hmm." Ash replied.
"Who's Ruby?" Dalton asked.
"Oh, boy." Ash groaned.
-Collision-Course-
Pablo sensed something strange, "I'll be right back, guys."
He stepped forward before the room changed into some sort of forest where three shadowed figures appeared. He recognized one of the figures.
"Naked lady?" Pablo looked on as the familiar figure stepped forward, "I think there's a dress code."
"You must listen to the Brujo..." the mysterious lady said, "you are in danger from the demon woman. To protect you, he wants to give you something..."
Pablo looked to see the image of a familiar weapon in front of him. "The Kandarian dagger?"
"It is close to where it was lost...," the woman explained, "you must go there. It is the key to your salvation."
"Got it," Pablo replied before asking, "Hey, uh, by the way, you got a name? Maybe we could, uh, grab a coffee sometime, or meet up, you know, like at a clothing store..."
"Find it!" the woman insisted, "You must accept your destiny."
"Cool."
"This demon Ruby? She's the Dark One?" Dalton asked, pulling Pablo from the vision.
"If Dark One as in after Ash Williams," James answered, "then yes."
"We need to kill her, now!" Dalton insisted.
"Jumping the gun, aren't we?" Josephine asked.
"You want to do that," Ash replied to Dalton, "you need a Kandarian dagger."
"Guys," Pablo told the others, "I think it's still here."
He turned around to face them, "The dagger. I think it's at the place where the cabin went down."
"How would you know that?" Rowen asked.
"Because a naked lady told me."
"Are you sure you're not in the weeds?" Kento asked.
"There's only one way to find out." Ash declared.
"Road trip." Everyone declared in unison, almost with unenthusiastic.
"Copy that," Ash replied, "but you three are going to have to go solo this time."
"What?" Pablo replied.
"What are you going to do?" Kelly asked.
"I'm going to try to talk some sense into my seriously hormonal daughter." Ash answered.
"Before you do that," James replied, "some of us are coming with you."
"Mia will be staying with me." Twyla spoke up.
"As for the others," Ryo told the group, "let's split up indeed. Rowen, Sage, you guys along with Hana and Rekino will come with me to aid Pablo, Kelly and Dalton in finding this dagger."
"Sounds good to me." Kelly replied.
"The rest of you go with Ash and James," Ryo continued, "you'll never know what's going to happen."
"I don't really agree with this, but do what you have to do." Ash replied.
"Sounds like a plan." Kento replied.
"Let's do this." James nodded in agreement.
