Gundam Wing Fan Fiction / Ronin Warriors Fan Fiction ❯ Our Version of RW with a Crossover Twist ❯ Meeting the Enemy : The Beginning ( Chapter 17 )

A/N: WE'RE BACK…

JC: I know you all want to kill us right now, but we're having problems. There was a big part of this chapter that we couldn't write.

Kathrine: Yeah so we found the perfect solution after four months, got rid of it and redid the entire chapter.

JC: So that took a while. And we wanted to have pretty good descriptions for yall and it took us two hours just to find a good enough picture of Naaza.

Kathrine: Give us a break, we haven't seen the show in four years.

JC: And yesterday was the anniversary of us actually posting this story. YEAH FOR US!!!!

Kathrine: Fitting that this is in a way the final chapter of the first part of this story.

JC: So, we hope you like it. We don't care about mistakes because we're currently redoing the story, fixing stuff.

Kathrine: Yeah, because we're making a Website that is taking forever to put up.

JC: We're getting back into our writing though, and are in the process of writing two lemons. They just won't be put up on FFNet.

Kathrine: Our birthday is next week too!

JC: Okay, just read the story.

Disclaimer: DO WE LOOK RICH??? Believe us, if we owned this show it would have more movies, no Message, and Gaiden would have been longer and definitely more in depth. And the format is sorta taken from the way Cousin D writes to make it less confusing. If Cousin D's against us using it we'll change it no prob.

Warnings: Dark themes, badly written scenes, language, and possible inconsistencies. Give us a break it took us four months. We're bound to forget something.

Chapter 17 - Meeting the Enemy and the Beginning

Preventer's HQ

Heero

He watched the entire spectacle in awe. Five spheres of light had engulfed the street below, blanketing the area in a rainbow like glow. He knew one of the cores of the light was Seiji, but he had no idea where the other four had come from. He couldn't even see the three figures that had been down in the rubble from the destruction. But what about Seiji? He wondered. Is he all right? What is going on?

" Heero?" he glanced back at Sally and Wufei seeing as it was the woman who had spoken to him.

"I have to go down there," he told her. " Seiji needs me." He took a step towards the large perforation and stared down.

" Heero what are you…?!" her words came too late as he had already launched himself from the opening, falling with a natural yet toned grace to the ground below. He didn't listen to her calling to him, and knew that Wufei wouldn't interfere. They both knew that he would survive, as did Sally, but her protective almost maternal instincts usually got to her mouth before reasoning reached her mind. He landed and didn't even feel shock in his legs from the four-story drop before rolling slightly. His training was still prominent in many aspects, his endurance and agility being part of said training.

He stood up, eyes inspecting the phenomenon before him. He could feel the power, the surges of energy created by the spheres and yet also felt no sense of fear or caution towards them. They seemed almost friendly, but with strength and unhidden might that could be used to protect just as easily as they could be used to harm. What's wrong with me? the brunette asked himself. Why do I feel as if I know this, as if it's just like something from the past that I've forgotten?

Nothing was making sense. Everything was happening so fast. He'd only been reunited with his brother two weeks ago and, besides the attack they'd had on the first night, the first week had been quite peaceful, but then everything changed. Seiji had started school, got into a fight, made friends, visited a friend's house only to be trapped in a thunderstorm and attacked by poachers, then trapped in his mind with nightmare-like memories the next day, and than they were attacked by psychos. Why was this happening to them? What group of Gods sought fit to toy with their lives as if they were nothing more than paper dolls that could be torn and thrown away so easily?

\ You will come to understand, \ a deep, calm voice whispered to him. He looked about in confusion, not understanding where the person was for him to hear him so clearly. But he saw no one. It was as if the person was right at his ear, and yet he didn't feel it was a threat, something about the voice spoke that it could be trusted, even though he was not one to trust so easily whether or not his instincts thought it safe.

\ I bring you no harm or ill will, \ the voice swore. \ I am only here to guide and shall remain here. That is my oath. \

How can you read my thoughts? He asked, caution tipping his tone. Was this man, for the voice sounded very male, a psychic like Seiji, but instead telepathic? Was he as trustworthy as he said? Was oath was he talking about?

\ You will come to understand, \ the voice repeated and then it was as if an extra presence faded from his mind, proving the other was gone. It was then that the orbs of light burst, the energy within them breaking free. It was than that he did close his eyes, the brightness overwhelming.

Rajura

The white-haired man watched as if he was almost in a trance. His could feel the soul of his armor, the spirit of Gen that was bond to him, sing. It was calling to the five newly awakened yoroi, welcoming them as if they were long lost brothers, maybe that was exactly what they were. He knew all the yoroi were linked by a spiritual energy that was the heart of each one, no matter the variations that had become the separate armors. He and the other Masho were like older brothers to the younger five in a way.

Is that why we've felt this need to watch over them since we found out about their existence? Of course they'd found out about the other five yoroi in the immense library that the Youjakai palace held, but they hadn't felt any connection until Arago and Badamon had informed them about their new bearers. They knew that these boys would go through everything that they had suffered all those centuries before. How could they live with themselves knowing they could have helped and they hadn't? They might not hold too much value in the world itself, but they had learned to protect their own, which was what the five boys were.

But will they accept our help after we've showed ourselves to be enemies? He came to the main problem. And if they don't, how will they learn to control their yorois' secrets? He thought about this, trying to find a way to go about this without letting Arago know of their true deeds.

" We will fight as we have always fought and that's all that can be done," Anubis spoke besides him. Rajura turned his eyes to the blue-haired man, not at all shocked by him knowing what was on his mind. Anubis had always been good at reading people, almost as good as he himself was. But he understood the hidden meaning behind his brother's words. They had always fought for what they believed to be the right path or the only option they had left, using their instincts to lead them when it was time and they'd no other way.

" Something's happening!" Kayura called to them, just as the energy spheres that contained the five boys burst from their confinements with unrestrained power. Anubis covered his eyes to protect their sensitive pupils from the blinding kaleidoscopic lights. Rajura quickly used his illusionist ability to shelter the younger man, filtering the light before it could cause permanent damage. He turned his own eyes away as well, silently hoping that Kayura would protect herself.

But then he felt it, the massive surge of energy releasing before once again dying down, and he knew it was over. He looked towards ground zero, subconsciously removing the shield from Yami's eyes at the same time. And with what he saw, he knew that the time had finally come. Everything was falling into place now.

"Oh great Kami," Kayura gasped. Five massive indentations covered the street, each one bearing its own occupant. " It's the Elemental Yoroi."

The first was light blue, a large blade-like ornament as the crown of its helmet. It body was slim, formed perfectly to the body of its wearer, and the face-mask pulled over the features of the boy within. The boy's eyes finally fluttered open, sea-green eyes slightly glazed over. In his hand he held a yari, a trident-like spear with two movable outer spikes, a symbolized drop of water on its crest proving who he was, Suiko.

Red stood closest to him in the next crater, metal curved horns the crown of its helmet. On his back were the sheaths for two blades, both seeming to be katana from the size and length of the scabbards. His face-mask was pulled down, the boy having yet to open his eyes. But then eyelids fluttered before lifting completely to reveal orbs the color much like the normal shade for a white tiger, too bright to be dark, but to wild to be light. His shoulder plates jutted out, the quad-diamond symbols on each to represent to element and name of his armor (which was already so obvious), Fire…Rekka.

The orange yoroi was kneeling on one leg, his head bowed slightly as if sleeping or awaiting a command. The helmet was strangely balanced, a large horn curving from the area above his right ear while a smaller one was curved from the same place on his left. On his back was a large staff with a bladed tip that had been somewhat sectioned off by circular indentations that might have been for a better handle, a nunchuku. He took to his feet, rising from the ground steadily. On his breastplate was a crest like his armor helmet, the samurai warrior. Stormy blue eyes stared out from inside of the yoroi itself, Kongo had chosen its bearer.

The dark blue yoroi remained still, deep blue eyes open and full of understanding. The helmet was somewhat 'tall' with the long peak extending from it, much like the way a parakeet's feathers would rise when it was ruffled. Two golden horns were on the sides, curving up to near the top of the helmet. The main body was slim, understandable if this was the yoroi of Air to make it more agile. On his breastplate were two crests, both looking like embellished arrowheads. This was indeed Tenku.

The last of the five was dark green, standing facing profile with his head lowered somewhat towards the ground. The crown of his helmet was somewhat unclear from the side viewpoint, but it was golden and stuck out from the brow. On his back was a large gleaming no-datchi that had a small grasping hollow and a shuriken at the top of the hilt. The shoulder plate on his bicep held the crest, a symbolized lightning bolt to distinguish its name, Korin.

" It is them," Anubis stated. " But where did the other three come?"

" Tenku's call must have been to them," Rajura replied. " But now, the question is…what will they do?"

Heero

I can't believe it, he was more than in shock or awe. The five strange armors were with their backs to him and all he could do was stare. Where had they come from? Was it the spheres of light? Where was Seiji? What did his brother have to do with these mysterious phenomenons? He then felt the tug pulling at him, calling him. He didn't know what it was, but he knew that it was coming from one of the armors before him.

His eyes strayed to the dark green one. Seiji…is he…one of them? He knew it. The answer was obvious now in his mind. Seiji was one of these five armors. But how, he knew not. He didn't know where the other four had appeared from or who could possibly be in control of them, all he cared about was his younger brother. This was becoming far too deep and confusing for him.

Elemental Yoroi

Shin understood. He felt the power flowing through him, coursing over his body like the gentle waves on a cool beach. He couldn't even feel the metal on his body, it was like it was apart of him. The weapon in his hand felt comfortable, like it was meant to be there. Suiko has come, he told himself. I have fully merged with the yoroi. He could feel the others, an stable presence at the back of his mind. He knew they all felt that way to each other and always would. They were now inseparable, a tight bond that could never be broken.

Shu was confused. He knew the legend of the yoroi and the belief that once the final bearer was found they would receive their armor, but was still shocked by its appearance. There was also something in the back of the others mind that seemed to be blocked by the power of the yoroi bond. He guessed it was something that he didn't want anyone to know and Kongo respected that, keeping its bearer's personal thoughts and emotions hidden.

On the other hand, Touma seemed to have completely accepted it. The power of his yoroi gave him that benefit. He understood everything that was going on and wasn't trying to stop its proceeding. He did seem somewhat concerned about what would happen now, how everything would turn out. The future was unclear, and everything was still somewhat unknown to them. But Shin knew that was just Touma to worry about such things and Tenku was no different.

Ryo seemed just as well adjusted. But it was he that knew the most about the yoroi when it came to them. Ryo had been the first to receive his and the one who had tried to find the others. Right then he was relishing in the feel of union, the link they shared with each other and their armor. He wanted to test it out immediately, see what he could do with it and how well it suited him. The fire that was Rekka seemed to agree, staying at the back of the raven-haired boy's passion until ready to be called upon. Ryo seemed to be the most open out of all of them when it came to his thoughts and feelings as well.

What concerned Shin was that he could feel nothing from Seiji. Well, he could feel his presence, the link being there at the back of his mind, but nothing was coming between it. The yoroi was blocking everything, keeping everything in the blonde's mind under lock and key so that no one could reach it. It was obvious that Korin was determined to not reveal anything that its bearer didn't want known. Seeing as Seiji was a very private person, that was everything.

His attention shifted, going to the three people that were before him and the others. The woman was somewhat tall, with dark hair and blue eyes staring at them with nothing showing in them. Her expression was somewhat guarded, not letting what she really felt come out. Then there were the two men. The one wearing the lavender/pink colored yoroi was watching them with one single pale blue eye, the other covered by something dark within the armor, almost like a patch. The other was in a dark gray, black, and dark brown armor, a red cape fluttering behind him. Ryo's anger rose and he knew that this was the man that he and Touma had spoken of, the one who had tried to kill Seiji and his brother.

" Welcome," the one-eyed man finally spoke. " It seems that the Yoroi have finally deemed you worthy to bear them. It is a great honor you have been given."

" What do you want?" Touma asked them. " Why are you here? Who sent you?"

" You ask many questions Tenku," the dark-armored man replied. " We have been sent to recruit you for the glorious army of Emperor Arago."

" If he's who I think he is then we don't want to work for him," Ryo seemed to be itching for something, a fight maybe. " Last time we saw you, you tried to kill some of us."

" A mere case of misjudgment, Rekka," he explained. " Our master thought you were the enemy. He now wishes to rectify that." Somehow Shin didn't believe that what the man saying was actually truthful. He knew he was lying, but it seemed as if it was deeper than that. Suiko felt it as well. It knew there was something else to it.

" I don't think we want the offer," Shu stated. " So just go back to wherever the hell you came from!"

" Quick to anger, aren't you Kongo?" the lavender-armored man smirked. " We merely want to offer our services, should you need them. You have now claimed your armor, but can you master it? You know not the power you hold within you very grasp or what it can do."

" We don't want your kind of 'help'," Shu growled.

" Are you sure of that?" the woman finally spoke. " Power like yours is very strong, but as the same time hard to control. How can you say so confidently that you are strong enough to contain its full potential?"

" I'll show you control," Shu frowned, hand going to the weapon that he knew was on his back. It was as if he just seemed to suddenly know things when it came to this armor, information that he knew Kongo had told somehow. He gripped the staff in his hand and was about to take a step forward when a loud siren broke into the air. Head spun instantly as they saw the cars from the police and other vehicles heading towards them on the previously barren road.

" Oh shit…" Touma's eyes widened. " They just HAD to show up now."

" What do we do?" Shin wondered. " We can't fight the authorities."

" I don't know," the blue-haired boy admitted, his eyes turning to Seiji, who had said nothing the entire time. The blonde remained completely silent, not even moving from where he stood. His features were stoic as he watched the cars coming with a strange gleam in their eyes.

Anubis

Stupid humans, he thought. They should know they can't stand against us. He gripped the hilt of his sword a little tighter. Yami wanted a fight, he could tell. His yoroi had been bored, tired of only sparring with his brothers. He wanted a real battle, or at least a new target for his built up energy to be released upon. Now he finally got his wish and all he had to do was wait for them to come to him.

Quatre & Trowa

They followed along with the other Preventers' vehicles finally having been able to get to a road that wasn't backed up by crashes and traffic. So many people were trying to get away from the chaos that it was hard to actually get to it. Trowa drove and he remained silent. He knew that his brunette lover was worried about their friends. What was going on? How could they have not seen this coming? From theories that they'd gotten, a terrorist attack had occurred on the Preventer's Headquarters and had taken out part of the building.

Is it that group that Heero has been tracking? He wondered. How were they able to directly attack Preventers main headquarters? Shouldn't someone have seen this coming?

" You need to calm yourself," Trowa warned him. " Your empathy is affected by your emotions. You need to focus."

" I know," he sighed. " I'm just worried. I didn't think being gone for an hour would result in a terrorist attack being launched."

" We couldn't have seen it coming, not after what's been happening lately," the other boy replied " We have to secure the area and make sure no one else gets hurt and no one escapes."

Quatre nodded in agreement, turning to look back out the window. A sound caught him and he listened. He could have sworn he'd heard chains or something of the like, maybe metal. He saw a flash in the corner of his eye and looked towards it, eyes widening when he saw something crash into the ground a few yards in front of them on the road.

" Trowa!" he cried out, the other boy instantly turning the steering wheel to avoid whatever it was. Lightning sparked in the sky and more things sprouted form the ground where the other had struck. They were like chains shooting up from the concrete, slamming into other cars and stopping them from proceeding any further.

Chaos was instant. Cars were swerving to get out of the way, SUVs crashing into each other, people shouting. Luckily, Trowa was able to turn them into a dead end alley, keeping them from becoming part of the mass destruction. He then stopped the car and unbuckled his seat-belt. " Get out of the car," he ordered. The young blonde complied with his words, hurrying to get out as soon as possible.

They had just opened the doors when some of the mysterious chains shot up from the ground, one going through the hood of the car and another coming up right beside Quatre's seat. The glass of the window shattered and he leaped back as far as he could. Both he and Trowa backed away and got as far from the car as they could as they watched it explode, bursting into flames.

" Oh Allah," the blonde whispered in disbelief. " What is going on?" Trowa didn't answer him. He instead walked to the end of the alley and looked around the corner at the damage that had been done. Cars were in flames, people were screaming as their bodies were consumed by fire, other trapped in their vehicles. Others that seemed to be all right were trying to help the injured, getting them away from the scene. But what shocked him the most was that there was a wall of chains that was the cause of it all, an immovable detour blocking them from getting near the Preventer's Building.

Seiji

He watched the chaos, not fully understanding what was going on. He could feel the others' shock and disbelief. What was going on? Why had he been chosen to wear this strange yoroi, Korin? He could feel pain, coming from the people who were trapped on the other side of the walls of chains, but it was distant, Korin filtering it so he wouldn't become immobilized like before.

Lightning flashed again and he could see the silhouettes of two figures on the top of the building besides the Preventers. He heard a gasp coming from Shin and knew that the others saw the two as well. Who are they? He wondered. He didn't even know who the woman and man with the one he'd met two weeks before. How did I come to be outside? Korin was trying to assure him, but he didn't want assurance. He wanted answers.

Suddenly the two figures leapt from the roof of the building into the air. He watched them sail through the air, landing only a few feet away. Korin reacted to them, the yoroi seeming as if it almost knew who they were, or least in some way. One was wearing a dark green and brown armor with a reddish brown breastplate. On his back were two katana that stuck out above his shoulders and two more swords on each hip. Four horns extended from the top of his helmet, two curving slightly towards the center while the other two curved more outward. His eyes seemed beady and black behind his face-mask, but Korin knew they weren't supposed to be that way.

The other warrior had a strange-looking yoroi. His was black and dark blue, a peculiar hooked buckle at his waistline and a robe-like vest over his shoulders. On the crown of his helmet was a metal crest that seemed like demon horns on his brow. He seemed to be smirking behind his strangely red face-mask as he twirled the chain connected to a scythe weapon. Who are these people? he wondered. He could tell al the others wanted to know the same.

Ryo

" What is this, the weirdo convention?" the raven-haired boy frowned. " Or did you three get scared and call in the cavalry."

" Quick tongue for one with no experience," the one with the chained scythe commented. " But just HAD to see who the new warriors in town were. Things have been soo boring. I am Oni Masho Shuten Doji, head general of the army of Arago."

" I am known as Doku Masho Naaza," the other beside him introduced himself. " It seems our brothers were slightly inconsiderate."

" Oh how rude of us," the lavender-armored man agreed. " We should have introduced ourselves. Gen Masho Rajura, master of illusions and mind, I am called."

" You may call me Anubis, Yami Masho," the final one replied, no-datchi pushed into the ground. " That is all you need to know."

" Lady Kayura, a pleasure," the woman smirked at them, her blue eyes mirroring her features.

" So what?" Shu asked. " That doesn't change the fact that your just a bunch of psychos."

" Kongo has always had a uneducated tongue," the man 'Gen Masho Rajura' countered. " You know nothing so you attack when you know nothing." This only served to make Shu even angrier and he was definitely on the verge of trying something.

" Now now, no fighting," the man called 'Shuten Doji' mocked him. " We've only come to observe. The mission is over, time to go."

" What?" The man that he remembered from the side of the highway seemed confused.

" Change of plans, the emperor has called you to return," he stated. " Gomen, but no more playtime for you."

" So you just run off whenever ya master calls you?" Touma questioned. " Ya sound more like dogs then fighters."

This seemed to make the man 'Anubis' growl under his breath. " Dog, eh?" he licked his teeth.

" Down boy," the man 'Shuten' halted him. " Time to go. I suggest you watch yourselves. The war hasn't even started yet. This is just the preliminaries of battle. Getting to know your enemies. Or do you know your enemies?"

" Our enemy is clear," Shin spoke up. " We're not blind."

" You're not?" 'Kayura' laughed. " Maybe you should looked deeper than just the surface of war. Enemies are never so clear." With that the four men disappeared, fading away from the destruction and carnage they'd left behind.

" Hey!" Shu shouted, but Ryo knew they couldn't stop them. They weren't meant to fight that day, just as 'Shuten' has said. But just as they were gone so were the thick walls of chains that had blocked the authorities from getting to them.

" Oh this is bad," Touma pointed out, looking at the chaos. Everything was going crazy and yet people seemed to be staring at them, looking about from hiding places. " We have do something."

" We have to leave." Ryo and the others turned stare in shock at Seiji. He was still staring off somewhat, his eyes seeing something else.

" But what about the people?" Shin asked.

" If we do not leave we shall be taken captive and questioned of things we cannot tell," the blonde replied. " Everything has been compromised, but we can still salvage what is left. We cannot stay here to be taken in by authorities."

" He's right," Ryo sighed. " We can't stay here. We have to go."

" But where to?" Shu inquired.

" I know," the raven-haired boy replied. " Follow me." He turned and took off his speed increasing instantly. To other he must have seemed a blur almost.

Heero

He watched as the red armor took off, running in the direction out of the center of the city. The others were following him, but he had to do something. He couldn't let Seiji go with them. " Seiji!" he called out, his eyes still on the green yoroi. It spun to look at him. Lavender/blue eyes met with deep blue. The brunette remained still, unable to say anything. He didn't understand what was going on. The other broke away first, eyes going to the way the other four had gone. Without a second look he followed after them, leaving Heero behind to watch his departure.

Elemental Yoroi

They all ran, following Ryo's directions as they wound through the city's back alleyways. They knew they couldn't be seen in public, especially when they were wearing mystical armor they weren't quite sure how to remove yet. They had to find somewhere safe to hide out until they could return to a less 'conspicuous' attire. They just weren't so sure where that was yet.

" Over here!" Ryo called to them. They were at a metal door that was on a dead end street.

" Gods, you're a genius!" Touma exclaimed.

" I've been telling people that for years," the raven-haired boy remarked.

" Where is 'here'?" Shin asked.

" A place me and Ryo found last year, no one ever comes around here and it's the perfect place to go if ya don't want to be found," the other boy explained. He walked over to the door and poked at the dead bolt lock on it that seemed in perfect condition. Then he grabbed the handle and opened the door.

" The lock is a piece of crap, a real one that was defective even though it looks great," Ryo smiled. " People think its locked. We can hide out here, it's got electricity and there's a store down the street we can buy something at as soon as we figure out how to take these damn things off."

" Great!" Shu smiled. " I'm starving!" He walked through the door, Shin shaking his head as he went behind him. Ryo followed them, but Touma looked back at Seiji. The blonde was once again mute and staring the direction in which they had come.

" Seiji?" he called to him. He turned to look at him and Touma could see something in his eyes. " I guess we have a lot of explaining to huh?" The other said nothing.

" C'mon," Touma sighed. " I'll tell everything we know once we get settled." Seiji gave a small nod of understanding before going into the building, Touma closing the door behind them.

Forest -

Shuten

" Gods, we could have had them!" Anubis growled. " They're inexperienced and would have easily lost to us."

" But then they would most definitely see us as enemies," Rajura pointed out. " We have to make them see sense, not red."

" I still don't understand why Arago sent us to get you," Naaza pointed out. " He and Badamon normally just call upon us when they want us. Why send us out?"

" Maybe they're up to something?" Kayura thought. " They've been doing something in that big throne room. The nether spirits have been restless."

Shuten listened to their conversation, but kept his senses open for the aura of the gate they'd left behind. They'd left a opening so they could call upon it and return home their brothers and sister. He was slightly thrown off by the fact that he hadn't come across its traces yet. He looked about again, but still couldn't sense it anywhere.

" Naaza, isn't this where we left the gate?" he asked to the green-haired man.

" Of course," the other confirmed. " This is where we always appear when we come to the mortal world."

" Then why can't I sense the gate?" he inquired. " It's not here."

" Nonsense," Anubis replied. " It has to be here."

" Feel for it," Kayura told him. " I can't sense it either."

" This is impossible," Rajura's eyes narrowed. " Some other power must be at work. Shuten call forth another gate."

The redhead nodded, closing his eyes and summoning the magic given to him by Arago to call the Gates they used to teleport through worlds. He felt it rising in him, the power increasing. Then it suddenly cut off, dying and sending a shock through his body. He gasped, falling to one knee and eyes opening wide.

" Shuten!" Anubis was at his side immediately.

" This can't be…" he gasped. " The gate won't come. We're trapped in the Nigenkai."

Unknown

He smiled at the efficiency of his work. Everything was going just as they had planned. Now that Arago's infuriatingly oblivious self was out of the way they had a better chance of getting what they needed done. He turned his attention to his companion, the other waiting for his. " You did well," he congratulated him. " But you must go. You have much work to do. If HE keeps up his word, that is." The dark figure gave a sound of understanding before bounding off into the thick of trees. " Yes, everything is going along perfectly."

A/N: See? It was worth it.

Kathrine: We're at the end of the beginning and now shall begin the end. Well, not really…

JC: Now everything is really gonna get messy.

Kathrine: Yeah, someone's gonna die…But we're not telling when.

JC: And Duo shows up, Treize makes an entrance.

Kathrine: Jane Silver made a request about him. Guess that means we can't put him in a wheelchair. (Sighs sadly) We'll see how it fits into the plot though.

JC: Yeah, has anyone come up with any guesses about all this? We'd love to hear 'em.

Kathrine: Okay Now Star Lin better cough up the next chapter of Hunter's Tale or else things are gonna get ugly. WE HAD A DEAL!!!!!

JC: Hope we don't sound mean. Review please, we know it's been a while.

Kathrine: Oh and Luna, Kitty is SO sorry she hasn't sent you the next chapter of Snowstorm! Our email isn't working. Yahoo won't let us send email and we can't find the password to our Hotmail account. We're trying to find the notebook that has it and as soon we do it's getting sent to you. Please forgive her and us!
