A/N:Hello! Here's the Battle! Actually, it's very short battle...like lame battle by luck.
To PLKAF: Yes, Shen and Dawn are very close and I'll reveal it later on as to why they are very close and why they always have to stay together. Thank you for reviewing!
To SAT(Sailor Alpha Tomboy): Please more than one word? :(
3rd POV
Everyone remained frozen when Dawn and Shen had disappeared, then they all began worrying, besides for Leah and Embry, who were panicking. "We need to go after them!" Leah shouted out. "It's our job to protect, isn't it?"
Rosalie countered back, "We don't even know where they are right now! And Alice can't see because you two had to imprint on them! Besides, it's their fault that Forks is now in danger! And the chances of the Volturi coming here is a high chance! Why should we help them?"
"Take it back!"
"Take what back?"
"It's not his fault! Say it!" It didn't go unnoticed that Leah was only defending Shen.
Rosalie just glared at her and spat the words out. "It's THEIR fault!"
"Keep talking Blondie you might loose more than just brain cells"
"I'm sorry, what was that?"
"Go rot in hell!"
"Fine, you'll be joining me soon anyway!"
"Haven't you ever heard of the movie All Dogs go to heaven?"
"Unless they're werewolves then they fall from heaven and down to hell! Who knows? You might just be lucky to find some bones to chew on-"
"Enough!" Carlisle interrupted as he stepped between Leah and Rosalie since they went too close at each other. "Arguing here is not going to help us!"
"Carlisle is right," Sam said. "For now, our main topic is to prevent any newborns from destroying Forks-"
"Don't you know how to teleport at all!?"
"Hey! Is it my fault that I can't control this power of mine?"
"Dawn! We went from here to Seattle, to the North Pole, and then back here!"
Everyone in the house stood there all confused before they could run to the windows and the doors from the left side of the room. There, outside they see Shen and Dawn arguing… Leah opened the front door as she and wolf-Embry stepped out and watched their imprints argue more.
Shen's POV
Truthfully, there are times when I hate her powers. One thing is that we get hurt… other things it would be an uncontrollable force. Just a while ago we were just in the Cullen mansion but when we teleported we were in Seattle, I think. Then we teleport again and we ended up in the North Pole. We're trying hard to go to California right now and it's not working! Dawn does it again and we're back to square 1.
…We're right outside the Cullen's house, isn't this so sad?
I looked back to see Leah standing there by the door; I realized that leaving her hurt me than I thought it would. Why is she making me feel this way?
"Like I said! It's not my fault-ah!" I didn't let her finish as I grabbed her and pulled her on my back then I went running off. I headed southwest while looking at my compass that was dangling around my neck with a chain. I knew this would always come in handy.
"Uhh… Shen?" Dawn called out to me and I responded. "What?"
"It's just-AAAHH! TREE!" she shouted out and I quickly dodged it by swerving to the right.
"Whoa, that was so close!"
"You were saying?" I said and she snapped her fingers. "Oh yeah, that's right, you know that-whoa!" What now?!
"What is it?" I asked her and she whispered out, "That's a lot of wolves…" I looked back in a fraction of a second and saw about 10 of them gaining on us, including the Cullen's… but wait… I counted all of them, even the really young ones. There were 17 of the shapeshifters…what of the other 7? For sure, Leah and Embry weren't there behind us so that meant…
"Dawn!" I called out to her and she responded. "Yeah? What?"
"Make me jump or something!" I said.
"Uhh okay… I order you to jump, Shen!" I twitched in annoyance. This isn't a really good time to joke around.
"I meant a spell!"
"Ohhh! That made much more sense!"
"I swear you should be blonde!"
"Oh shut it, tree hugger" I rolled my eyes at her as she removed her right hand form my shoulder as she cast a spell.
"Transfer…" She started out to say getting her magic right this time. Up ahead, I see the other seven shapeshifters. I could recognize Leah, Embry, Sam, and Jacob; the other two might be Seth, Paul, and Quil, not sure. It was the prefect timing to cast the spell
Dawn shouted out, "Ricochet!"
OH GOD NOT THAT ONE!
"NOT THAT!" I screamed out but it was too late. It started; I could feel the heat rising from my feet. I looked at the wolves in front of me as they close in. "Get out of the way now!" I shouted out, mainly concerned for Leah. They looked me strangely before seeing the steam that was coming out of my feet. They evaded away from our path and in an instant, I went flying.
"AAAAAAAAAAAHH!" Both Dawn and I screamed loudly, before long we hit something hard and went through it.
Oh…it was a tree.
"SHEEEN!" Dawn screamed out to me. "YOU KILLED A TREE!"
"IT WILL GO TO HEAVEN!" I screamed back. Then we both screamed more and it didn't take long when we hit another one and this time we began tumbling downhill and splash unto the cold shallow river. It didn't affect me, but it did to someone else.
"AAAAAAAHH! COOOLD!!" Dawn screamed as she got up and ran to the shore. I slowly followed behind her, silently.
I'll tell you one thing; I've been with the Riddles for so many generations ever since I was turned into a vampire. It was the time period when Heraclius became Emperor in Constantinople as the Persian Empire was attempting the takeover of the Byzantine civilization, maybe approximately 610 C.E. .... so I've been around for over 2000 years… ugh not sure about the right age but hey, who's counting?
Dawn's POV
I started poking Shen's forehead and he still won't respond; he had been standing there like a statue while I was freezing my butt here. Seriously, it's like he's in his other world… reminiscing of the days the first time he met the slaying Riddles family…
I looked in closer to see his thoughts. Yup, he's definitely reminiscing of the old medieval times. I think my who-knows-how-many-greats ancestor, Jules Riddle, was the one that cursed Shen and got him to work with the family business. Eventually, Shen grew attached of it and can't seem to leave. I'm glad for that.
"Shen…you know, you love me, right?" I asked out and he spoke softly, "Dawn… there are times when I love the trees more than you…" (Burn!)
I gawked at him and called him, "Antagonist"
"Pre-scholar"
"Feudist"
"Tree-discriminator"
"Biased"
"Flunker"
"Sexist"
"What are-"
"Illusionist"
"Oi, you're-"
"Racist"
"Okay, Enough-"
"Pessimist!"
"…"
I squealed. "I won!"
We then heard the thumping of feet on the ground; they were close. Shen reacted faster than I did as he hoisted me on his back again and we went running off. We evaded many trees but they were still catching up. I told Shen, "Shen! Jump on trees like the ninjas from Naruto!"
Shen turned his head to give me this look, saying, "What?"
"Just do it!"
"Why?"
"Because it'll be very thrilling! I mean come on! We're getting chase by a pack of werewolves and a coven of vampires! It's like a Scooby-Doo Chase scene!"
There was a slight pause before Shen replied, "…You want to do a 'jumping on trees scene' from a show called Naruto, and now you're comparing it with a Scooby-Doo Chase scene?"
"Yeah, you're the actor, I'm the music, now go!" I ordered. I could hear Shen grunt in reply as he jumped high above the trees and landed on a branch softly. Wow, being a vampire has its benefits, then he started jumping from tree to tree. OMG! I AM IN NARUTO!
I started singing the Scooby-Doo theme song but kind of tweaked the lyrics, "What's new Shenyuan Lu? They're coming after you! It includes me, oh, that's so true! They see us, Shenyuan Lu! But we're gonna make it through-!"
"DAWN!" Shen called out my name, getting annoyed by the song. I laughed hysterically and I was about to finish the song when I saw two newborn vampires right in front of us.
I finished the song, "Watch out, Shenyuan Lu!!!!" (…L…O…L…)
Before the vampires could tackle us, Shen dropped down from the branch and I see the vampires accidentally hit it each other. Wow, that only happens in cartoon network. "Run!!" I yelled and Shen ran following the compass direction to Southwest…wait, the compass? NOOO!
"SHEN WAIT! NOT THERE-!" It was too late. We got into a clearing and in front of us were them… Rafail and Lorea along with the other troops of newborn vampires.
Rafail chuckled evilly, "Well, well, well, what do we have here?"
We both froze as fear slowly crept inside of us; it was Rafail's power. Right now, I was shaking and Shen stood frozen. "Dawn… what's going on?" Shen asked, trying to force out the words.
"T-the…compass…needle…switch magne-netic…f-fields…"
"…why…?"
"…I-it's... a…magic c-compass…" That's what I have been trying to tell him earlier while we were running and before I cast that ricochet spell. You see, the compass he's wearing is a magic compass. Not really magic, but just this awesome trick. If you dump it in cold water, it will switch magnetic fields. So instead of heading to Southwest, we went to Northeast.
We both tried to move in our position but we couldn't…God I was too scared! We were both too scared! Ugh! If only I could cast the Immunity spell right now!
I felt Shen's arm shaking a bit, what is he doing? I forced myself too look down and I see his hand reaching into his pocket. Rafail sees this as he quickly reacted. "Stop him now!" he ordered. And 5 newborn vampires jumped right at us.
Oh crap…
Suddenly, they came in… the werewolves…
Shen's POV
I was reaching for the needle in my pocket; this needle is very strong and could get through the strong granite skin of a vampire. The reason I'm getting it out is because the needle was mixed with a serum in it. This serum can neutralize the powers and abilities of a vampire, also, negating effects that would affect a vampire from other powers. It will last for a minute or less.
This serum is called a Molecular Somatooxidation Neutralization, abbreviated as MSN…I know… MSN is that Microsoft Network.
"Stop him now!" Rafail had ordered, and 5 vampires jumped right at us. Oh crap…
There was a loud bark and I would like to turn around to see who it was but I can't. However, they did all jump at the attacking newborn vampires; it was them, the werewolves. Wow, they catch on really fast.
Five of them jumped right at the newborn vampires, and seven more werewolves joined them in ripping them apart…that…is creepy…
The fear wavered inside of me as I was able to move my hand properly. I grabbed the needle from my pocket and then stabbed it with my leg. I let out a small cry because…seriously, it stung! I mean it shouldn't hurt as much but it does! That's how the serum worked. Instantly, the fear inside of me disappeared as I quickly stabbed Dawn with the needle too.
"Ow!" she shouted out. "Shen! That hurt-!"
"Spell, now!" I said.
"Oh yeah! Umm… Multi-transfer: Immunity!"
Multi-transfer: immunity… Wait multi-transfer? That meant, she was giving it all to, not only us, but the werewolves and the Cullen's.
A flash of small orb lights came out from Dawn and transferred into me; the rest of the orbs went straight into the wolves and the Cullen's. They were confused for a bit, but then Rafail got their attention.
"How about a compromise?" He suggested. "Give us the girl and the vampire and we won't have to go after all of you as well" All the newborn vampires retreated to their original positions as all of us stood in our positions.
Carlisle shouted out, "If you all don't leave, the Volturi will be hearing this!" No, that won't work.
Lorea and Rafail started laughing at him. Lorea shouted back, "The Volturi? What could the Volturi do? And even if you did tell the Volturi, doesn't that mean you'll breaking the Slayer's Law"
The Law… That law is the most crucial rule to be obeyed. Carlisle turned to us confused of the law because we forgot to mention it. Dawn sighed as she explained, "Okay, see, this is a number 1 law to all Slayers, werewolves, and vampires… Never tell the highs positions, like the Volturi, of our secret… or else anyone who is included and anyone you are connected to: friends and families, even a stranger that you just met, will all die…"
"Are you kidding me?" Rosalie asked, who was outraged, and Dawn shook her head.
"Nope," she said, popping the P. "That's the law the ancestors had lay upon…See, that's why we cursed vampires to keep their mouths shut but then we heard about Aro's power to see within vampires' minds, so now we're very extra-careful"
"Enough!" Rafail shouted out. "Last Chance!"
Everything was silent until then, they went on attack position. I was surprised; they were willing to fight for us? They barely even know us. Right beside me, was Leah growling at Rafail, and Embry too, who was at my other side.
"Fine then!" Rafail shouted as he raised his hand high, getting ready to order his troops to fight.
There were–counting 17 werewolves, 8 vampires, and 1 slayer–twenty-six of us. Now on Rafail's side–counting Rafail, Lorea, and there were 38 of them, minus 4, 34 since four of the newborn vampires were killed, one survived–there are 36 of them. A 10 difference. Oh, never mind. Two newborn vampires from before came back and joined them. So... 38 vs. 26, I like the odds…hint sarcasm, Edward.
My power is still out; I need 30 more seconds, maybe then I'll be able to halve their numbers. I just need Dawn's mouth to stall time, just 30 more seconds for the serum to go away. Dawn seems to find my distress and decided to help me stall time.
"WAIT!" Dawn screamed out. "I HAVE A PROPOSITION!" …Ow…she didn't need to yell…
29, 28, 27, 26…
"What is this proposition you have?" Rafail asked and Dawn grinned like an idiot.
"Weeelll… you seee…" she said, making her words like legato.
25, 24, 23, 22…
"Out with it, girl! We don't have all day!" Lorea shouted.
"I have something that might interest Caelum!" Dawn shouted out.
21, 20, 19, 18…
Rafail scoffed. "I doubt that!"
"No really! It's this powerful gem, and if I give it to you guys, you will have to leave us alone!"
By this time, everyone was confused as to why we were stalling right now, I see Edward's eyebrow raised as if wanting to know what the point of this was. I said to him mentally that it's something to be shown and not to be told.
17, 16, 15, 14…
"This is a trap, Rafail!" Lorea shouted. Oh, we need some one else to play along.
"No it's not!" Dawn shouted back.
"No don't do it!" Edward had shouted and I look back a bit surprised. "Dawn! You can't give them that! You know what would happen!" Yes! Keep stalling time!
Everyone had now turned to Edward, wanting to know what they were talking about. They see Edward's eyebrows rise a bit and I think they got the message because soon Alice became… a little over-dramatic.
"NOO! Dawn! Do you have any idea how powerful that stone is? You can't give it to them to save your butt!" Alice screamed.
13, 12, 11, 10…
By this time, Lorea and Rafail were beginning to believe this stone. Everyone played along, well except the wolves, I don't think they get it yet.
"I have to!" Dawn shouted back. "I'm tired of getting captured since the day I was born!"
"Alright! Where is this stone?" Rafail asked loudly.
8, 7, 6, 5…
"No! Dawn please don't!" Esme shouted out pleadingly. Wow, she's good at this.
"I'm sorry Esme," Dawn said as she got off my back and stepped up a few steps in front of me. "The stone is…" she started off.
4, 3, 2, 1…
Then she yelled it out, "UP! YOUR!ASS!"
The shock on Rafail's face was priceless; I tried my best to hold my laughter in and so did everyone else. Sadly, they all let out some laughs and snorts. Rafail's face then contorted into such anger and frustration. Oh boy…
"GET THEM!" He yelled out and instantly, all the newborn vampires jumped at us. The Cullen's and the werewolves were ready to jump at them but I was fast. I quickly got in front of them and faced the newborn vampires; they were confused of my actions when I suddenly sucked in a lot of air.
I got ready to blow them away…or freeze them in this matter
Dawn's POV
Shen quickly got in front of the others and then, he sucked in a lot of air. Yes! The MSN serum wore off!
You see, Shen has this power…well, actually more of a power, this was something that he was born with…
"FREEZE THEM!" I yelled out loud and strong then when he opened his mouth and blew out, instead of air coming out, it was ice; ice came out of his mouth.
Yes, everyone's faces were shocked even Rafail's since this is the first time that we're actually showing Shen's power. A long stream of ice came out and began to freeze the newborn vampires. They all cried and scream in agony as their bodies began to turn to ice.
Now let me tell you this, this isn't like in the cartoons when you're frozen, you can still break the ice. No! Shen's ice power… he could turn anything into ice…I mean by even granite stone can turn exactly nothing but ice. So what once was a stone is now an ice that will melt into the simplest of water. It's dangerous, very dangerous, because if he freezes a person's hand then it will spread and freeze the rest of the body. Yeah, scary.
However, it has a flaw. Although it's quite fast, vampires and werewolves are still faster so it can be dodged from long range. For now, only half of the newborn vampires were frozen. 18 survived, and the other 18 didn't.
Shen closed his mouth after the burst of ice was gone. He breathes in through his nose and then out of his mouth, his lips shaping into O. He was getting ready to attack if needed too.
It was silent between both sides before Rafail called out, "Fall back!" And they started running away.
I laughed and screamed out, "RAFAA-EEL! YOU FAA-EEEL!" I got a couple of snorts and laughs from that joke I made. (Joke: Rafail! You fail! Get it? Fail? Lol, I crack my self up.)
"THIS ISN'T OVER!" he shouted back.
"Should we go after them?" Emmett asked.
"No… They'll come back for us…" Shen said then suddenly he started coughing as he used his fist to pump his chest, trying to get rid of something. We all stood there confused…can a vampire choke?
"Dude, what's wrong?" I asked, going over to him.
"I froze my throat…" he answered timidly and I burst out laughing.
"You froze your throat? What? Did you choke on a snowball?" I asked him jokingly and most of us began to laugh. Shen just gave me a look of annoyance and then he proceeded to poke my side twice.
EEP!
I squealed loudly as I ran over to my werewolf of grey and dark spots. "Embrryyyy…he poooke meee agaaaaiin!" I whined, wrapping around the animal's neck.
Groooooowwwlll…
Everyone stood still as they look directly at Dawn. She was staring blankly at something before she looked down and placed her hand on her stomach. "Are you hungry?" Shen asked me and I answered, "Yeah, our baby is hungry"
The shock on everyone's faces was hilariously fantastic! It seems Edward had already caught on with my lie and Shen too as he shook his head and sighs. However, two of the wolves, Leah and Embry, I believe went running off. I didn't know what just happened but they were shaking…in anger?
I was a bit hurt as to why Embry just left… was it something I said?
"Wait, I thought you two were siblings!" Emmett pointed out and Rosalie looked at Shen and me disgustedly.
"Umm… yeah we are," I said. "Not by blood…"
"So…you two are…" Emmett trailed off and I was still confused by what he meant.
Shen sighed and said, "No, we don't have a baby!" …Ohhh! They took us seriously?! Don't they know me for the past hour?
I laughed. "Baby? Oh no! With Shen? Gross!"
Emmett got more frustrated when he got more confused. "Then why'd you say the baby?"
"Ohhh! My baby is a stomach," I said. "Shen's the father because he feeds it; inside joke, people."
I can see everyone wearing this look like saying, 'You got to be kidding', or the sarcastic 'Oh wow!'
Yup… that's how I am… Dawn Riddle.
And you know what's worse? I'm starting to get attached to this place…
Next chapter will be much more...complicated... more info about the Slayers. Maybe some Shen and Leah alone time, and maybe a fight with Embry and Dawn. I can see it now! CONFLICT!
