Disclaimer: I don't own anything except the OC's that I created. If I really did own it not only would I be rich, my ideas would already be on the air.

Last time on Taichi Chasers: The Battle of the Three Nations

The thing I was thinking of was a forbidden technique of the Phoenicians. It had a limited amount of uses and had a lot of specific requirements that caused it to be really risky. Also there was no way that I would be able to completely recover my body. My eyes would still be lost, but everything else would heal completely.

As soon as I got there, I asked Rai and Finn to come into my room for a private conversation. What I said shocked them, but they agreed to do it in the end.

Present Time

"Taichi Huo, Fire x2 equals Taichi Yan, Flame! Taichi Huo, Fire plus Taichi Bao, Aggression equals Taichi Bao, Explosion!" Rai yelled as a red, 炎, and a red, 爆, symbol appeared over his head and shot burning hot jets of flame at me that started to incinerate me.

"Thank you, Rai" I whispered as I continued to burn in the continuous stream of fire coming from Rai's Taichi. When I was almost completely burned to death, the door suddenly opened and Sena and her sisters burst in.

"RAI! What are you doing? How could you do such a thing to someone that got crippled and injured to protect us? You heartless scumbag! How could you?" asked Sena and her sisters.

"Come on we got to help Ryu guys. Taichi Chuan, Rive….!" Sena started to yell before she heard something behind her.

"Taichi Bing, Ice! Freeze them to the wall!" Finn yelled as he appeared behind them. A blueish white, 冰, symbol appeared over his head and shot out chunks of ice that froze Sena and her sisters to the wall.

"Finn! What's the meaning of this? Why won't you let us help Ryu? I thought he was your best friend?" Sena asked as she watched me get burned into ashes.

"Sena! Come to your senses! Can't you see that we're helping Ryu get better?" Finn exclaimed.

Flashback to Arrival on Tiger Airship

"Rai, Finn I need your help with something. As you can see, there is probably no way I can get better if I don't do something fast. I need you guys to kill me, specifically with fire," I said calmly.

"Wha….What are you saying? How will killing you make this any better? Are you MENTAL?" yelled Rai and Finn in confusion.

"No guys, I'm serious. It's one of the most ancient and forbidden techniques of the Phoenicians. It is very risky and could lead to my permanent death but it could bring out of this sorry state, too. Guys think of it, the life cycle of the phoenixes of long ago; the death in flames and rebirth in the ashes, which is the forbidden technique of the Phoenicians that can only be used three times." I explained in a calm, collected manner.

"Okay, fine we'll do it. Just tell us what we need to do," they said.

"All I need is for a friend to completely incinerate me in a big fire and only Rai can do that. And Finn I need you to distract Sena and her sisters, because you know they won't agree to my plan and I need you to restrain them from doing anything stupid also," I explained to them.

End Flashback

After Finn finished recounting the conversation, a sudden light came from the pile of ashes and blinded everyone in the room. As the light subsided, I stood where the pile of ashes used to lie. My body was completely healed and I had been transplanted with the Fenningan, the eye of the phoenix. The Fenningan, the eye of the phoenix, is one of the many powerful bloodlines of the Phoenicians. They are black with a flaming red and blue six point star. These eyes give the bearer an immense amount of power and allow them to be able to use Taichi even without their cards. It also allows the bearer to have control over fire and be able to fly. When I transcend into my hybrid form, I have absolute control over fire and my Taichi abilities are powered up to the max. But there are many weaknesses to the eyes. First off they drain massive amounts of power from the user, they can only be used during the day when our solar system's biggest supply of fire is in the sky, (sun), when used the eyes will start to bleed and after a certain amount of time, they will go blind, and they can be destroyed with a special incantation that is passed down in the royal family.

"Hey guys! Ummm….. Sorry for not telling you guys that I knew a way that could completely heal me." I said as Sena and her sisters were released from their icy chains.

"Ryu!"Sena and her sisters yelled angrily as they ran over to me before putting me in a choke hold before squeezing me to death. "Don't you ever do that to us again!"

"I promise," I managed to choke out before they released me.

"Guys! There's a Taichi card in the middle of the forest! Sena, Asty, Cloda, Straw, Finn and I will go get the card! The rest of you guys stay here and guard the ship!" Hawk commanded.

After Sena and the others left to find the card, Donha, Rai, Tori and I stayed back and relaxed. Tori was doing lookout duty, Donha was having lunch, while I was lying in my bed while teaching Rai about the Taichi Cards.

"Ok Rai, there are many ways to combine Taichi Characters into new characters and phrases. One example of a new character would be when you use two 火's to create a 炎 character or using the 火 and the 暴 to create the character 爆. But that's a power that all Taichi masters have, so I'm going to teach you how to use the special technique of the Phoenicians, phrase Taichi. One example of phrase Taichi is by creating a fire sword by combining your 火 Taichi and your 剑 Taichi to create the phrase 火剑 or fire sword. This allows the user of the Taichi to have a greater selection of weapons that can be used against an enemy. When using the phrase technique, one must be completely calm and free of worry. Also you need to have an extensive knowledge of Taichi. But to speed things up, I'm going to give you an extra activator of mine that helps you create phrase Taichi. Just give me your Tigeroid activator and take mine and this card holder full of the Taichi I've collected over the years," I explained.

"Are you sure? I mean if I take all your Taichi how are you going to fight?" Rai asked concerned.

"It's fine, the ones you're going to get are just copies of my originals, but they have the same amount of power within them as the originals," I explained.

"Oh! Okay, THANKS!" Rai exclaimed.

"No problem," I replied.

Suddenly we heard Tori's scream for help.

"There's a lot of Dragonoids three o'clock!" Tori yelled through the communications pipes.

"What! Whatever everyone to your battle stations!" I yelled as Rai and I ran out of my room and to the top of the Airship.

"I can't even eat my lunch in peace!" Donha sighed as he ran from the dining room to the top of the Airship.

On the horizon we could see a lot of Dragonoid robots storming our way. All four of us geared up and went in all four directions and started our attacks.

"Taichi Huo, Fire plus Taichi Bao, aggression makes Taichi Bao, Explosion!" Rai yelled as a red 火, symbol and a red 暴, symbol appeared over his head before morphing into the 爆 symbol. Out of the Bao symbol came an impressive explosion of fire that wiped out part of the robots that were charging us.

"Taichi Shi, Rock!" Donha yelled as a brown 石, symbol appeared over his head and shot a barrage of rocks to the robots that were coming at us.

"Taichi Hua, Slippery!" Tori yelled as a purple 滑, appeared above his head before it went flew onto the ground and turning the ground into a slippery surface.

"Taichi TaiFeng, Typhoon! Taichi HuoShan, Volcano! Taichi Leidian, Lightning Storm!" I yelled as the 台风,火山,and 雷电 symbols appeared above my head and created a typhoon, volcanic eruption, and a lightning storm. The three attacks surged through the Dragonoids' ranks, destroying many robots in the process.

"This is getting out of hand, Taichi Fang, Sabotage!" yelled Garnia as a blue 妨, symbol appeared above his head before attaching to our activators and short-circuiting them.

"Taichi Huo, Fire!" Rai yelled as he tried to slash his Taichi card into his activator, but was shocked to see the activator push the card out.

"Now that you can't use your Taichi cards, it means that you can't fight back," Garnia laughed out as he advanced with his robots.

"That's where your mistaken, Garnia! I didn't want to use these so soon but it looks like I don't have a choice do I?" I said as I opened my eyes to reveal the Fenningan.

With Sena and the others

After getting chased by Dragonoid robots in Car Taichi's the Chasers were able to make to the tree where the Taichi card Po was. Even though they had gotten to the card, they were surrounded by fast moving Dragonoids and were having trouble getting out. Then Sena used her Mu, wood, card to stop the cars while Finn used his Bing, Ice, card to freeze them. It took them a while but after a few minutes of hard work they were able to escape from the Dragonoids.

"Come on let's get to the Airship before the Dragonoids take it from us and hurt any of our friends," Sena said as they ran through the woods toward the Airship.

At the Airship

"Guys fall back and go into the Airship. You guys are going to be the last line of defense; I'll hold them off for as long as I can. Get Komorka into the Taichi storage chamber and guard it with your lives," I commanded as went out to battle the oncoming Dragonoid Army alone.

"Taichi Sha, Kill! Taichi Mie, Destroy!" I yelled as I unleashed two of my powerful Taichi with my Fenningan enhancement. A black with red outline 杀 and 灭 symbols appeared over my head before flying out across the battlefield and wreaking havoc among the Dragonoid Army, causing whole platoons to fall down destroyed in matters of seconds.

"What the hell is happening?" Garnia yelled in a confused rage as he watched his army getting diminished as if they were toothpicks in front of a giant.

"Let's end this! Ahhhhh!" I yelled as I transcended into my phoenix form. I flew into the air before yelling, " Taichi Qing, Clean!"

A white 清, symbol appeared above my head and swept across the battlefield whipping all the Dragonoids into a tornado of wind before sweeping them away from the Tiger Airship. Then I suddenly clutched my chest and head as my eyes started bleeding and I coughed and sprayed blood from my mouth. I lost control of my phoenix form and started falling from the skies. I heard a faint yell that sounded like Sena.

"Taichi Mu, Wood!" Sena yelled as a green 木, symbol appeared above her head before causing a branch of a tree to catch me in midair. The branch of the tree set me gently on the ground before Finn supported me with his shoulder and helped me into the Airship. When we got into the Airship, I was immediately supported to my room where I was put to bed, before Sena fixed our activators with here Po card.

"Looks like I wasn't fully healed in the rebirth cycle," I said laughingly as I winced in pain and coughed up some more blood.

"This is not a joking matter!" Sena and her sisters yelled sternly as they wiped the blood from my mouth and eyes.

"It looks like the rebirth cycle can only heal external wounds and not internal wounds," I commented sagely.

"Well now that we know, you aren't allowed to do anything that will cause you to overexert yourself. And you're not allowed to play the hero in anymore battles until your fully healed," Sena commanded sternly.

"Yes MA'AM" I said in a sarcastic tone.

AN

Well it looks like things might get better from here on. But will they actually?
