Fan Fiction / Ronin Warriors Fan Fiction ❯ Change in Tides ❯ Lovestruck Torrent ( Chapter 5 )

Cye couldn't believe his eyes as he stared up at the red armored warrior. Her armor was almost nonexistent that it looked more like a bathing suit then armor. Her breastplate and shin guards were the only dead give away of the armor she wore. She stared out at the sea with her arms crossed in front of her. Saturn smiled and raised her hands to her mouth. “Moon, Moonstriker!” Saturn called out to the young warrior. The red armored warrior turned towards the sound of her name and smiled. Her brown hair was in a high ponytail that swayed in the wind as she looked down on the group. “I found the Ronin Warriors. Well sort of found them. We need to find the others so get down here.” The girl nodded and began to walk away from the cliff's edge. Moonstriker what are you up to? Suddenly she stopped and turned her gaze back towards the group and winked. She then turned and dashed for the cliff's edge. Typical water warrior.

 

“Is she nuts?” Rowan couldn't believe what she was about to do. The water at the bottom of the cliff had several sharp rocks and the water appeared to be very shallow. Saturn just giggled as Moonstriker leaped from the cliff's edge. She spread her arms wide and seemed to tuck her body before she straightened out with her hands together.

 

“She's not gonna make it.” Cye ran forward to help her but found that he was floating mid-air. He looked back at Saturn who shook her head as her hand was palm up in front of her.

 

“Trust her. She'll make it.” Cye returned his gaze to the falling beauty. The water seemed to rise up to meet her and swallow her into its depths. After waiting a few moments for her to surface Cye looked back to Saturn wondering why she hasn't reacted to the warrior's disappearance.

 

“Where is she? You said she'd make it and she hasn't come up for air yet!” Cye couldn't stand how calm Saturn looked. Saturn just smiled and shook her head.

 

“And she did.” Saturn put Cye down and pointed out towards the water. Treading water a few yards away from shore was Moonstriker. “You scared them!” Moonstriker shrugged and began to move towards the shore. She stopped and looked down into the water; her eyes grew wide as she peered into the water. “Moon?!” Before Moonstriker could reply she was raised out of the water quickly by what appeared to be dragon. The great beast towered above the water's surface. Its blue scales matched the water and its eyes glowed a fire red. Moonstriker stood on the dragon's head and she seemed to be smiling. “Blueheart.”

 

“What did you say?” Kento looked up at the dragon.

 

“I said Blueheart. That's his name.”

 

“You know that beast.”

 

“Yes and it's not a beast it's a sea dragon. He has sworn to protect Moonstriker like Blackblaze protects me.” Saturn waved to Moonstriker.

 

“Hey Saturn.” Her voice flowed like water in a small stream. Cye couldn't take his eye off her as the dragon lowered its head to the sandy beach below. Moonstriker jumped off Blueheart's head and patted him near his nostril. He raised his head and gave a low growl before disappearing below the surface of the water. “Silly dragon.”

 

She doesn't appear to be royalty so she must be one of the protectors. Kayura watched Moonstriker approach the group. She is tensed like she's ready to attack at any moment.

 

“But yet he scared you.” Saturn winked at the water warrior.

 

“So?” Water ran down Moonstriker's arms and Cye became mesmerized by this girl. Unfortunately Kento noticed his friend's stare on the young girl.

 

“Hey Cye, you're drooling.” Cye blushed as he turned his gaze to the ground. Kento began to laugh at his friend's embarrassment.

 

“You're just mad he saw me first earth warrior.” Cye looked up at Moonstriker who was smiling as Kento tried to think of a come back. Saturn giggled and soon the whole group was laughing at the flustered Kento. “Sorry I couldn't resist. So Saturn these are the Ronin Warriors?”

 

“These five are, but the others are their back up or something I guess.” Dais stepped towards Moonstriker.

 

“How did you know Kento was an earth warrior?”

 

“Lucky guess.” Dais narrowed his eye at the girl. “Kidding. I can sense it plus you can tell. Broad shoulders and muscular upper body. Just like he's a water warrior.” Moonstriker pointed to Cye. “His body is shaped for swimming. Plus you can see how he's drawn to the water.” Dais stepped back and looked at the girl. “Okay then. So who do we go after first?”

 

“Probably the winter twins.” Saturn pointed towards a nearby island that looked completely white from where the group was standing. “Oh and you should probably formally introduce yourself.”

 

“Oh right that's kind of rude of me. I'm Guardian Moonstriker. The Sun Warrior of water and life.” Rowan and Cye exchanged glances. “I am also one of the night twins.”

 

So she is a protector but she seems too kind to cause any damage to anyone. Kayura couldn't understand how this young girl could possibly be a protector.

 

“Night twins?” Sage was confused.

 

“Trust me when you meet Star you will completely understand.” Sage and the others noticed that Moonstriker couldn't help but have a smile on her face. She seemed to be full of energy. As Moonstriker turned her attention back to Saturn a dark figure rose out the water.

 

“My, my sea dragon you look more beautiful then I remember.” Moonstriker cringed as she turned to face the young man in the water. His armor was black as the deepest parts of the ocean and his eyes remind Cye of those that belonged to a shark. “What's wrong, not happy to see me?” He stepped onto shore not allowing his gaze to falter from Moonstriker.

 

“Drop dead Shark.” Sage was taken back as he heard the serious tone of Moonstriker's voice. Kayura watched as the warrior seemed to prepare herself. The young man smiled and quickly ran forward snatching Moonstriker away from the group. “Now is that any way to talk to me love?”

 

Moonstriker feel disgusting in the Dark Warriors arms. She quickly grabbed the small dagger from the side of her leg and pushed it into Shark's shoulder. Shark howled in pain as he released his grasp on her. Kayura was shocked how quickly Moonstriker struck the Dark Warrior and without hesitation. Moonstriker kicked Shark away. “Damn you Shark! Leave me be. I would never be with the likes of you.” Shark raised his eyes to her.

 

Shekmet recognized that move he knew it was her. So they are still alive.

 

“If not me then who young water warrior? I have power beyond your wildest dreams and I can give you everything yet you still refuse me!”

 

“I don't date the enemy.” Moonstriker gripped her dagger tighter as it extended into a beautiful crescent shaped sword. Shark decided it would be a bad idea to fight Moonstriker with Saturn around.

 

“I will not rest till I have you my beautiful sea dragon. Till we meet again my lady.” Shark leaped back into the water. Moonstriker felt sick as she watched Shark leave.

 

“Moon, are you all right?” Saturn rested her hand on the water warrior's shoulder.

 

“I'm fine. Why me Saturn?” Moonstriker looked down at her sword as it shrunk back to its original size. Then she wiped away the blood from the sword in tide as greeted her.

 

“I have no idea Moon.” Saturn looked out to where Shark once stood. “But you would think he would know that sea dragons don't breed with sharks.” Moonstriker looked at Saturn in disbelief before she started to laugh. “See that's the Moon I know and love. Now come on the sooner we find those two winter warriors then sooner we can figure this whole Dark Warrior thing out.” Moonstriker nodded as Saturn walked away. Saturn began to lead the group down the beach.

 

“Wait.” The group turned to look at Shekmet. He walked towards Moonstriker until he was almost nose to nose with her. “Glad we're on the same side this time Purple Hawk.” Kayura and the other Dark Warriors looked at Shekmet in confusion.

 

“Agreed Shekmet.” Moonstriker smiled at Shekmet and winked at Cale.

 

“You're alive.” Kayura stepped towards Saturn who nodded.

 

“It's only been ten years here Kayura.”

 

“If you're Purple then you're Rainbow?” Saturn bowed her head. “You have grown young ones and I think it is wonderful that we now fight for the same thing and I want to apologize…”

 

“Kayura the past is the past. Now come we need to find the others.”

 

Well maybe Neptune will know what to do about Shark. Maybe she can help with this new water warrior as well. He is cute. Moonstriker looked back to the ocean before she took off after the group. She managed to maneuver through the group quite easily but managed to brush Cye's hand with her own. Cye looked up at her as she fell into step with Saturn. Moonstriker glanced over her shoulder at Cye and winked.

 

I wonder what that was about? But it's not like I minded. Cye kept his eyes locked on the Sun warriors' backs as they continued down the beach.
