Fan Fiction ❯ Dragon Keeper ❯ Chapter 7: Story pt 2 and Training Begins ( Chapter 7 )

Hello! I'm back with chapter 7 of my beloved series, Dragon Keeper! Yaaaaaaaaay! I'm sorry it took so long for me to get it typed and posted, I kinda got grounded... *grown man screams like a girl in the background* Shhh! Mr. Turner! *Man screams again even more girly than before* Oh... sorry Cosmo!

Anyways, this chapter is not only going to conclude the section with Shonoru and Kimitsuna, but will go back to the friends and Hano where they begin training and developing their abilities! (yay!)

Okesh... on to chapter 7......

--------------------------------------------------------------- ------

The two have continued further on their way, Kimitsuna having slapped Shonoru HARD across the face upon waking. The imprint continues to remain.

Kimitsuna: *fuming* Touch me again and DIE!!!

Shonoru: Oh, will you shut up already?! I wasn't trying to feel you up!

Kimitsuna: I don't trust you, and I never will!

*Flash forward to Shawn and Karen arguing*

Shawn: I promise I won't mess up the book! Just let me see it!

Karen: I don't trust you, and I never will!

*End flash forward*

Author: Things haven't changed much, have they?

Kimitsuna: ...who was that?

Shonoru: I have no idea...

Author: *shifty eyes* ... I shall now slink off into the shadows and will most likely not be seen for the rest of the actual chapter...

Shonoru and Kimitsuna: ...

*As the author slinks off, they hear a strange howl go through the air*

Kimitsuna: Wha- what was that?

Shonoru: I don't know, but it sounds as if it came from that direction... *he raises an arm and points out toward the North where through a forest lies whatever it was that made the sound*

Koroko: Then let us go!

They begin their travel through the forest, leaving their horses behind and bringing only Shonoru's sword and the baby Dragon, Koroko with them. The fallen leaves from the trees crunch softly under their feet, hardly another sound can be heard aside from the silent forest. The only other sounds to be heard by the naked ear being the gently rustling of the leaves in the wind and the Aronadan animals scurrying through the twisting and curving branches among the maze of dew stained leaves.

Kimitsuna: This is kinda... creepy...

Shonoru: *heh* And you call yourself a great warrior...

Kimitsuna: Oh be quiet, you!

Shonoru: You know, it does you no good to your looks - how ugly you are already - to whine...

Kimitsuna: WHAT?!?!

Shonoru: Shh... *He covers her mouth with his hand and listens carefully*

Kimitsuna: Wha-?

Shonoru: There's someone watching us...

Soon after this is said, a maniacal laugh sounds through the forest.

Rashujo: You actually think you can defeat me?! HA! You might as well return to your homes, you would not have the chance or the power to win!

Rashujo jumps down from a high branch on a tall tree landing as if he had only jumped 2 ft. In his hand he holds a black staff which seems to be emitting a strange evil glow. The energy emitted from it forming demonically evil faces as it spirals through the air. As he lifts his head, they can see his face clearly for the first time. (Literally) His eyes are as cold as ever, though he has no scar on his right cheek. His hair, a bit (cough) longer, reaches down to the middle of his back.

Shonoru: That's it? We're fighting this girly guy?

Rashujo: SHUT-UP!!! *Rashujo swings his dark item and sends a wave of negative energy at the two which slices a hole in the right arm of Shonoru's shirt, a trickle of blood spreads from where the energy made contact with the skin* Heh, and that was only a small sample. *He smirks evilly and a cold hearted glint appears in his eyes*

Shonoru steps back as he reaches behind to draw his sword, throwing the sheath aside and holding his sword so it is parallel to Rashujo's dark item.

Shonoru: You think that matters? *His eyes narrow, unblinkingly*

Kimitsuna's eyes begin to glow as she forms two balls of electricity in her hands, each sparking with every movement of the glowing objects.

Rashujo's smile fades as he holds the weapon up, ready for combat.

Jessica: STOOOOOP!!!

Hano: Eh?

Jessica: Why do we have to listen to the part about bloodshed and battles?! Do you really think we want to hear about that?!

Elora: Yes we do! Continue! Continue!

Jessica: Shut up! *She konks Elora on the head*

Hano: Erm... ok... I'll skip over the battle...

Jessica: YAY! I prevailed!

Elora: NO! She prevailed!

Hano resumes telling the story, but skipped over the scene where they fought, both Shonoru, and Kimitsuna are dead. Koroko was lying next to his fallen owner, badly wounded. Rashujo having a cross shaped scar on his right cheek and his weapon broken stands up.

Rashujo: Damn you... you ruined my face…

Johnathan: WHAT?!?! THAT'S IT?!?! HE HATES THEM BECAUSE OF A SCAR?!?!

Hano: Erm... well... he was always very confident of himself with the ladies... so, um...

Karen: You know, I really don't think anyone should be very confident with the ladies with a name like `Rashujo', it sounds like he's got a rash on his `u-jo'. *She turns to face Elora and Shawn* Ha ha! New inside joke for us to laugh about!

Shawn: Yeah! Like Elora and her flying boobs!

Elora: erk! *She punches Shawn in the face* YOU DON'T TALK ABOUT THAT IN PUBLIC!!!

Shawn takes his new sword and hits Elora on the top of the head with the hilt.

Elora: Eep!

Renee: Hmm… so this is like the average male on our planet who is concerned only with his appearance towards the opposite sex. In this case, that would make Rashujo's personality and general mind usage as such some of the males included at our school back home in Arizona, making it possibly harder to defeat him with his thinking about at the same level as we do...

Everyone stares at Renee

Johnathan: R-Renee, did you just say something smart?

Renee: *wakes up* Ah... what a nice nap! Wha'd I miss?

Jessica: Well at least she's smart in her subconscious...

Johnathan: So, he's about as smart as a regular teen, that means we should be extra careful if we get into a fight with him.

Shawn: It's probably better if we find out what our powers are first, we know yours, but what's ours?

Hano: Well then, let's test you!

Shawn: Come again?

Hano: We have a special facility in which anyone in Aronada can come in to discover his or her powers.

Karen: Erm, but what if Rashujo decides to come in?

Hano: Hmm... Forgot about that...

Everyone: -_-;;

Jessica: Um, how about we practice in a field or something where Rashujo can't get to.

Hano: That would work! I know just the place! Follow me!

**************************

They follow Hano to a place deep in the forest, which is protected by many special boundaries so as to keep all of the UN wanted out. Ivy and other vines entwine forming a net around the branches and twisting up the trees in patterns such as you would find on greeting cards. Old broken wooden dummies are scattered in various areas of the ground.

Karen: So, where is this?

Hano: This is where I used to come and practice my powers when I was a kid.

Karen: And how long ago was that?

Hano: Erm... heh heh ^_^;;

Renee: Ah! That's why your memory's so bad!

Karen slaps Renee

Hano: Actually, no. My memory loss is due to an accident I was in when I was younger, it made it hard for me to remember certain things, though I can remember what I learned before the accident crystal clear.

Jessica: What was the accident?

Hano: Erm... I really don't want to talk about it...

Jessica: Okay. *She smiles warmly at him*

Hano looks at Jessica and blushes a bit. Shawn decides speak to break the awkward moment.

Shawn: Okay! Let's get to training!

**************************

Shawn and the others wait in the field while Hano leaves to find equipment for them to train with.

Renee: I wonder what we have to do to find out our powers.

Elora: I bet we have to rip out a chunk of our skin and then depending on which color light comes out will tell what kind of powers we have!

Renee: Eep!

Jessica: Elora! Don't scare her!

Elora: hehe...

Hano comes back with a rather large knife along with targets, wooden dummies (not broken), and other tools for them to train with.

Hano: Okay, I will have to cut off a bit of your skin, and then a light will come out from the wound and the color will tell which power you are destined to use and which items to train with. This knife is one used for determining powers, no other kind of knife will make the colored light rise. This only determines the first of the powers you will develop.

Elora falls over backwards in shock.

Hano: Hmm? What's wrong with Elora? Is she sick?

Shawn: No, but trust me, she'll be okay...

Karen: Do you really have to cut off skin?

Hano: Yes, but it's only a little bit.

Johnathan: How much skin are we talking about?

Hano: It's just about a centimeter wide and only deep enough to bleed.

All of the friends look nervous, except for Elora, who is unconscious.

**************************

After much painful screams, moans, yelps and bandaging, the powers revealed for the friends are...

Karen: Yellow: Electricity

Shawn: Brown: Earth

Johnathan: Green: Strength (well DUH!)

Jessica: Blue: Water

Renee: White: Wind

Elora: Red: Psychic

All: ELORA'S PSYCHIC?!?!?!

*~Think back to chapter 5~ See! The flying pigs never lie!~*

Hano: Yes, it appears so.

Elora, having woken up by now is staring at Hano in disbelief.

Elora: I... I'm psychic? HOW THE [CENSORED] CAN I BE [CENSORED] PSYCHIC?!?!?!

Hano: Wha-?

Johnathan: DIVE FOR COVER!!!!

Karen quickly claps her hands over Hano's ears right as Elora gets into the super high ranges of cussing. Shawn and Jessica are looking through a dictionary for some of the words they never heard before.

Shawn: Woah! That word's BAD!

Jessica: Let us not show this to the reader!

Shawn: Agreed! *A big censored sign appears covering the entire dictionary as Elora begins writing cuss words all over it*

After much cussing later, Elora smiles.

Elora: Wow! I can't believe I'm psychic!

Everyone stares at her, eyes twitching in disbelief, each having been running around trying to find something to either calm Elora down or stifle the noise only to have her being happy with the power she came to own.

Karen walks over to Elora, grabs her by the throat, and begins to violently choke her.

Karen: WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?!?!?!

Elora is now on the ground with spinny eyes. @___@ <--- see? Spinny!

Hano: O_o;;

Shawn: Now that that's settled, can we begin?

Hano: Eh? Oh, erm... sure...

Hano glances unsure at Karen and Elora, Johnathan catches his uneasy look.

Johnathan: Don't worry, it's an everyday thing.

He points to the fuming Karen and the spinny-eyed Elora.

**************************

The training begins with the six friends practicing on hitting targets and also getting their attacks just right for when attacking humans and beasts by using the wooden dummies as subjects for the attacks. Johnathan's and Elora's training varies from the others after the first part though, for example: Johnathan has to lift entire trees. (Two at a time might I add) Elora's training is for after Johnathan lifts the trees and stacks them, she has to pick them up with her powers and place them back in roots and all so the tree can go on and on. (just like the energizer bunny! XD)

Of course, after all of this training is through, the friends are exhausted, Karen's hair stands on end a bit from the electricity, Shawn's hands are all muddy, Jessica's all wet, Renee's hair is wind blown, Elora has a headache, and Johnathan is just plain tired and sweaty.

Renee: Pee yew! Johnathan! Go take a bath! You be smelly!

Johnathan: Shut-up *gasp* I'm *cough* tired. That *wheeze* training *cough* wore me out!

Hano looks up into the sky, the stars glowing brightly, each giving off a light brighter than the last.

Hano: *thinking* You'll be proud of her, Jaru, she'll amaze you with how beautiful she's become.

-----------------

Hiya! That's the end of chapter 7!

Yes, I know that was an abrupt ending to the Shonoru and Kimitsuna story, but I'm not that good at writing about fight scenes yet. But don't worry, the story of how the battle was carried out WILL be told eventually.

And who is this Jaru? Is he someone the friends already know?! Well I'm not gonna tell! I'm the author! I don't get paid to choose what he does, who he knows, and what he eats! I'm doing this out of charity folks! I want some love here! GIVE ME LOOOVE!!!

Upcoming chapter: Chapter 8

`Thymidans?'

Some people who call themselves the `Thymidans' who paint themselves rainbow colors have kidnapped Jessica and Renee. Freaks or Foes? ...Both...
