Fan Fiction / Ronin Warriors Fan Fiction ❯ Change in Tides ❯ Night Warrior ( Chapter 8 )

Moonstriker embraced her sister like it had been years since they had seen each other. “Hey sis where's the fire? Oops. Maybe I should be asking you that Sun?”

 

“Real funny Star.” Moonstriker smiled at the group behind her sister.

 

“I try. So these must be the Ronin Warriors Mia has been telling me about.” Moonstriker nodded. “Well my name is Guardian Starfire. Sun Warrior of night and trust. Pleasure to meet you all.” Starfire went to shake Rowen's hand but Pluto snatched it away. “Hey what's the deal Pluto?”

 

“Look Star. Rowen here maybe the warrior of air but he has a connection with you not Neptune. We found out how they can beat you five so don't touch him okay.” Pluto sounded like he was trying to be Starfire's dad but she just shrugged it off.

 

“So enlighten me my dear cousin how can they beat us?”

 

“They drain your powers. If you touch them they absorb your powers. And if you don't believe me then ask Moon.” Starfire looked at her sister who just simply nodded. Kayura was amazed at how similar the two girls looked.

 

“Damn. Well then we've got one hell of a problem here.” Starfire walked up to Ryo. “Well if you can't hurt me then I'd be glad to shake your hand for the entire group.” Ryo smiled as he shook Starfire's hand. Ryo knew that he liked Starfire's attitude. Starfire then turned back towards her sister. Moonstriker blushed slightly and Starfire looked at Cye then back at Moonstriker.

 

“They're at it again.” Saturn shook her head.

 

“What?” Mia didn't understand completely what Saturn meant.

 

“The night twins can communicate telepathically to each other. So they can say things without the rest of us knowing and it's rude.” Starfire rolled her eyes at Saturn.

 

“Chill Sat. I'm just talking with my sister and now if you would excuse us we need to finish so we will meet you all for dinner later and then we will talk about what to do next.” Starfire looped her arm around Moonstriker's as the two walked away.

 

“What are those two up to?” The group turned around to see a beautiful young woman with violet eyes. Kayura gasped slightly recognizing the girl from the staff's vision.

 

“Swanalow.” Saturn bowed slightly. “Allow me to introduce the Ronin Warriors.” Swanalow smiled and inclined her head towards them. “Ronin Warriors this is Princess Swanalow. She is the ruler of this valley.” The Ronins quickly bowed to Swanalow. The Ronins also recognized Swanalow but decided to keep quiet about it.

 

“Come you all must be hungry and tired. Pluto will you help them?” Swanalow noticed that Pluto wasn't happy with her request but decided not to argue. “Neptune will you accompany him?” Neptune nodded and Pluto just glanced at Swanalow and smiled.

 

“Thank you Princess.” Swanalow lightly touched Pluto's shoulder as he led the five Ronins into the castle. The castle was large to say the least and Ronin found it hard not to stare up at the paintings that hung in the main room. Rowen walked over to one of the paintings not paying attention. He ran into something and fell backwards. As he looked up to see what he ran into his eye met the gaze of a young green armored warrior.

 

“Sorry.” The young girl smiled.

 

“Not it's my fault I should have moved when I heard you coming my way.” The girl held out her hand to help Rowen up. “I'm Green Hawk pleasure to meet you.” Green Hawk reached up and touched Rowen's face. Rowan was shocked by this and stepped back slightly.

 

“Hey Green.” The girl turned towards Pluto and raised a silver staff to touch his shoulder. She raised her hand to grabbed Pluto's shoulder and she hugged him.

 

“Long time no see Pluto.”

 

“You're one to talk Green.” Pluto laughed slightly.

 

“Just because I'm blind Pluto doesn't mean I can't see.” Green Hawk suddenly knocked Pluto to the ground. Neptune laughed as Pluto glared at the blind warrior. “Your sight is your weakness Pluto. Even Neptune knows that you can't always fight with your eyes.” Green Hawk turned back to Rowen who just stood in shock at the girl before him. She was blind but it was like she could see perfectly. “Close your mouth.” Rowen shut his jaw and looked at her strangely. “So do I get to know your name?”

 

“I'm Rowen.” Rowen still in shock.

 

“Well it's a pleasure Rowen and Guardian keep Pluto out of trouble.” Green Hawk turned and walked down a nearby hallway.

 

“I'll try Green, but there are no guarantees.” Neptune helped Pluto to his feet. “Will you ever learn? You're lucky it was her and not her brother. Red would have wiped the floor with you.”

 

“Only because he's so hot tempered.” Neptune just shook her head.

 

“You would be too if you were the Hawk Warrior of Fire.” Pluto and Neptune both turned to face a young man wearing an orange armor identical to Green Hawk's. He had what appeared to be oil or grease on his face. “How's it goin' Nep?” Cye noticed right away he had a type of accent.

Is he the one that was talking to Swanalow in the vision that we saw? Ryo watched as he stepped closer to the winter twins.

 

“Not much Orange just showing our guests around.” The boy raised his one eye brow at Neptune.

 

“That much of a pain Guardian?” The Ronins looked at the boy then at Neptune. “How about I deliver them to Sinotaa and Roccao and you two do your whole winter twin thin'.”

 

“You don't have to…”

 

“I know Gold I want to.” The boy walked past Neptune and Pluto to Ryo and extended his hand. “Name's Orange Hawk.”

 

“Ryo. These are my friends Rowen, Sage, Cye, and Kento.” Orange Hawk nodded and turned back to Neptune and Pluto.

 

“See you later Gold.”

 

“Don't call me that.” Neptune turned away and stormed away from the group. Orange Hawk laughed as Pluto rolled his eyes and ran after her.

 

“Silly Gold. She always hated it when I called her that.” Orange Hawk nudged Ryo. “It's okay to laugh ya know.” Ryo smiled at Orange Hawk.

 

“Sorry we've been given the cold shoulder a lot lately.”

 

“No bi'. Besides if Pluto and Nep didn't give the cold shoulder I'd worry and besides I think she knows that Kento likes her.” Kento stared at the boy wide eyed.

 

“I didn't say I liked her.” Kento was trying to think of a way out of this.

 

“Give it up Kento. I can see it all over your face that you think the Guardian is a babe.” Kento tried to think of what to say to Orange Hawk but found nothing. “Neptune or Gold as I call her isn't as tough as she appears to be. She is just protective of our home. She doesn't trust ya yet, but Starfire says that your friends are all right so you guys must be too. And when it comes to trust Starfire knows it better then anyone I know.” Rowen looked at Orange Hawk.

 

“How long have you known them?” Orange smiled and looked up at a nearby painting.

 

“It seems like forever. I've known the Ancient Warrior and Saturn the longest. We came to this world together. After some problems we had I met Saturn's younger brother and sister, Pluto and Sun. The others I just met over time. But I guess if I had to choose one to be my closest friend I would have to say Neptune. She's loyal to her family and her friends.” He looked back at the Ronins. “Enough about the Sun Warriors. I'm sure you're hungry so let's go introduce you to Beauty.”

 

“Beauty?” Sage was confused. Orange led the Ronins down a hallway to a large silver door.

 

“That's her name. She's an awesome cook.” Orange Hawk pushed the door open to find no one in the room. “Hey Beauty where are you?”

 

“No need to yell young one.” A young woman with three scars on her face appeared. “What do you want young one?”

 

“These are the Ronin Warriors and they're hungry so could you feed them? Please Beauty?” Orange pouted slightly causing Beauty to laugh.

 

“I suppose. Have a seat young warriors and I will return with food in a moment.” The Ronins watched as the woman passed through a set of doors.

 

“So that's Beauty?” Cye looked back to Orange Hawk.

 

“Yup.”

 

“I can see where she gets her name from.” The other Ronins looked at Cye in confusion. “It's her inner beauty right?” Orange Hawk just nodded his and motioned for the Ronins to sit at the large wood table that took up most of the space in the room. Orange Hawk watched in amazement as the five Ronins sat in the seats that had the markings of the first five Sun warriors.

 

“Interestin'.”

 

“What?” Kento couldn't help wonder about this guy.

 

“Well you five are supposed to destroy Sun, Starfire, Moonstriker, Saturn, and Uranus. And here you are sittin' in their chairs. If I was superstitious then I would call that a sign but I'm not.” Cye looked at the back of the chair and saw a crescent moon with a sea dragon wrapped around it; he touched the engraving slightly and couldn't help but feel calmed by it. “That is the symbol of the Moon Kingdom. The moon represents the kingdom while the sea dragon represents the element of water.” Beauty entered the room with a small cart full of food.

 

“I hope this enough.” Kento's jaw dropped; the food looked delicious.

 

“Beauty you are awesome.” Kento reached for a plate full of fruits. Beauty looked at Orange Hawk and mouthed awesome towards him.

 

“Basically he's sayin' thanks Beauty.”

 

“Oh. Well eat up because dinner isn't for at least five more hours.” Beauty left them to eat as the Ronins plagued Orange Hawk with questions about the Sun Warriors. Sage at first thought that Orange Hawk was in love with Neptune by the way he seemed to know everything about her but found that his heart belong to Green Hawk. Orange Hawk explained how the Sun Warrior use to be Hawk Warriors like him and Green but after they defeated Didiono they became the Sun Warriors. They had to fight off Didiono brother Tyotka. So the seven became the Sun Warriors and learned how use their new powers and everything.

 

Orange Hawk didn't mind all the questions but he did notice something interesting. Cye seemed to want to know a lot about Moonstriker and of course Kento had a million questions about Neptune. “Hey Cye what do you think about Moon?” Orange smiled as he watched the boy blush. So he does like Moon. I would if Star knows this. “Somethin' wron'?”

 

“No I just normally don't talk about girls that's normally Sage's department.” Orange Hawk just nodded not believing a single word of what Cye said. “She seems really nice and a good swimmer too, but I'm kind of wondering why this Shark guy is after her.” Orange Hawk huffed at the sound of Dark Warrior's name.

 

“Shark is amazed by Moon's beauty. She has the natural beauty that the sea it self holds, because of that he wants her as his own. He also knows that having her by his side would give him control of water all together.” Orange Hawk shuddered. “Luckily Moon is smarter then that dumb fish.” Suddenly the door opened and Sun stepped in with Dais, Kayura, and Mia close behind her. “Hey how's my favorite fire demon?” Orange Hawk hugged Sun, which she returned.

 

“Not too bad Orange I see you've made friends with the Ronins.”

 

“Yeah they're pretty cool guys. So whose your friends?”

 

“This is Mia, Kayura, and Dais.” Orange Hawk shook Dais's hand and smiled at Kayura and Mia. “Orange you look filthy. Maybe you should clean up.”

 

“Why? All I be doing is scrubbin' off the grease and then putting back on when I go back to work.”

 

“Typical Orange Hawk.” Sun shook her head.

 

“I am the Hawk Warrior of Metal so leave me be Sun.” Orange Hawk sat back down in the chair and Sun just laughed at him. Sun the looked up at Ryo.

 

“Well that's weird.”

 

“Yeah I already talked about that.”

 

“Well excuse me.” Sun sat in the chair next to Orange Hawk. Mia and Kayura stood next to Ryo while Dais stood behind Sun. “So what's up metal head?”

 

“Not much just that Kento there likes Neptune and I think Cye like Moon.” Cye and Kento couldn't help but blush red.

 

How could he just tell her like that? Cye watched as Sun stared at him.

 

“But you can't tell anyone Sun. Promise?” Orange Hawk raised his pinkie finger to the warrior.

 

“I guess. Promise.” Sun hooked fingers with Orange Hawk. “But you know Star would want to know.” Orange Hawk just shook his head.

 

“I know but it's better that we don't.” Sun nodded. “So what's with this whole power drainin' thin' I keep hearin' about?”

 

“Oh. Well it's kind of complicated to explain. Say Ryo were to touch me like shake my hand. His armor would drain me of most if not all of my powers.” Orange Hawk glanced over at Ryo.

 

“I highly doubt he would touch you if he knew this.” Ryo nodded to agree with Orange Hawk.

 

“Anyway all in all they drain us of our powers and the Dark Warriors come in for the kill.” Sun shrugged as Orange Hawk grabbed her hand. “It's no big deal Orange.”

 

“It is a big deal Sun you're the little sister I never had. Alon' with the others. You're the only family the six of us have left.” Sun jerked her hand away from Orange Hawk.

 

“Don't say that Orange you know how the seven of us feel about that day.” Sun stood and turned to leave.

 

“It wasn't your fault Silver.” Sun looked back at Orange and nodded. Before anything else could be said a young child ran into the room.

 

“Princess, Orange Hawk. Starfire and Red Hawk are at it again.” The boy had short brown hair and red eyes that seemed to scare Mia slightly.

 

“Are you sure Moonlite?” The boy nodded at Sun. “I wonder what it's about this time?” Sun ran out of the room with Orange Hawk not too far behind her. The Ronins followed with Dais, Kayura, and Mia. They returned to the large room at entrance of the castle. Standing a few feet from each other was Starfire and a young man with red armor. The two glared at each other as if they could kill each other.

 

“Stay out of this Starfire?” The man's voice sounded harsh.

 

“She can take care of herself Red!” Starfire stepped forward raising a silver staff towards the warrior.

 

“She's my sister Star not yours!” He grabbed a type of whip that hung at his side. Soon the two took a defensive stance.
