Chapter 03 - Legend of the Stars of Heaven

As the ceremony started, huge clouds appeared in the sky and lightning and thunder began. The people in the village were surprised. They never thought that it could be a storm on this night.

"This storm is not normal", said the elder to Katsumi.

"I know…and I sense an evil presence too."

Laughter was heard from two unknown beings. One appears to be a female and the other one a male.

"Hahahaha!! So, you have a big ceremony and you didn't invite us. It is really a shame, we would make it much funnier you know", said the female voice.

"Well, if you wish it so much, why don't we join them?" stated the male voice. The girl grinned at the man and the two flew down and landed on the ground near Katsumi and the elder Fiorenti.

Maeve has white hair down to her shoulder. She wears a black costume that goes the long of her body but stop in the middle of her thigh. She has black gloves and black boots that goes on her knees. Her costume have also a green `shawl' that is attach in her back and goes in front of her, it passes on her arms and it is attach to her waist. She has green eyes and is the same height as Katsumi.

Adonis has long black hair that falls down to his waist. He wears a gold and black armor with a red cape. He wears also a golden mask on his face that only mask his eyes. He has blue eyes and his height is the same as Goku.

"May I ask why are you here and what do you want?", asked Fiorenti but the beings didn't answer.

"Hey Adonis-sama, look at that girl. Is this the armor of stars you've talked about?", asked the girl.

"That is correct Maeve." *So, if she has the armor, then she must be the strongest, mentally and physically. But I can feel that she is not stronger than us.*, thought Adonis.

"Can you answer a simple question?!!!!", shouted Katsumi.

"Katsumi-chan, settle down a little", said the elder. "I will ask again, for what purpose are you here. If it's for making trouble, I strongly suggest that you leave immediately."

"There will be no troubles if you give us the armor of Stars and the stars of Heaven that you possess!" the man asked angrily.

"Nani?! Stars of Heaven? What's that?", asked Katsumi.

"Let me explain the legend of the stars of Heaven, Katsumi-chan. You know that there are beings from each corner of the galaxy who monitor activity in their corner of the galaxy?"

"Yes, they are the Kais."

"Correct. There is also the Grand Kai and the Supreme Kai. But these persons were governed by Dagda-sama, who was the powerful god of the earth, knowledge, magic, abundance and treaties. Everything was peaceful until Morana, the goddess of death, came. Dagda-sama faced Morana but it wasn't enough to destroy her. So within his pure heart, he searched for the most precious virtues and with it, he created the nine stars of Heaven. Each star was marked by one of his nine virtues: JIN (the virtue of virtuous behaviour), GI (the virtue of justice), REI (the virtue of courtesy), CHI (the virtue of intellect), SHIN (the virtue of sincerity), CHU (the virtue of loyalty), NIN (the virtue of endurance), TEI (the virtue of obedience) and KO (the virtue of filial piety). (A/N: see an explanation at the end of the chapter for this) The body of the great god was the armor of Stars was the key to activate the stars and with it he defeated the evil one. After many centuries, as death neared, he sealed his power in the stars and the armor and then sent them through the Universe and the legend that was created of it was when the Armor of Stars and the nine stars of Heaven are together, the power of Dagda-sama will be given to the one who summons him. With this kind of power, a person can easily control or destroy anything, even the Universe. We can't let evil beings have it or the world is doomed", explicated Fiorenti.

"Incredible!", exclaimed Katsumi. "I never thought that the armor and the stars are this powerful!"

"Enough!! We are not here to listen to your pathetic stories. So hand it over or suffer the consequences", yelled Maeve.

*What a hot-tempered woman!*, thought Katsumi.

"What are you waiting for? Do not waste our time.", said Adonis.

"Why would we want to give you the armor and the star, that will be a disaster!"

"Whatever, old man."

"I see that you don't want to give us the armor or the star, so we don't have a choice to take them by force!" Adonis growled at them.

"Great idea! First, let us test the girl's power with Pyrrhus or Raiden. What do you think, Adonis-sama?", asked Maeve.

"I have no objection. Pyrrhus!! Come forth and take the armor of that girl. Do whatever it takes to get it and find the star of Heaven, understand?", ordered Adonis.

"As you wish, master." Adonis and Maeve disappeared.

Well, that's it for now! You'll have to wait till next chapter for the fight between Katsumi and Pyrrhus!

I know that some of you who know Ronin Warriors (Yoroiden Samurai Troopers) will see that I took the idea of virtues for each stars of Heaven in my story. Please, let me explain. I read somewhere that virtues are defined as principles or standards of human conduct. I didn't want the stars of heaven be like the dragon balls with the number on it. I just wanted to give them something special like the morals a human can have. Morals are concerned with the judgement of goodness or badness of character and behavior. So I remembered the virtues in the anime Ronin Warriors and I thought this make sense in my story. If you are not happy about it, then you can stop reading my story, I don't mind. But I think it has a deeper meaning to learn the japanese culture and its ways of thinking.

Anyway, if I didn't convinced you, you can flame me!!! ::::arrghhh I'm burning!!!::: Someone took a bucket of water and … SPLASH!!! ::: Ouf! I'm safe… I guess ^.~ :::
