"Talpa Has a Sister!"
By Wildfire

Chapter Six

"Ryo, Kat, Kit, Rowen, where are you?" Sage said as he looked around.
"Sage, we're over here," Ryo yelled toward where Sage was standing.
"What took you guys so long, we've been waiting for three hours!" Ally demanded.
"Ally, we've been here for five minutes," Cye told her. Ally gave him a dirty look and she looked kinda mean for being only four and a half. Cye laughed.
"You guys, we need to start moving," Ryo commented as he started to walk. Rowen and Kat took the back so they could talk.
"Rowen, I still think someone else should be leader!" Kat told him.
"You said you'd give him a chance. Kat... he'll pull through! That's the fifth time I said that, isn't it?" Rowen said as he poked her in the side.
"Stop!" Kat said as he tried to poke her again. "I'll give him a chance. Rowen, this probably is the wrong time to say this, but... I think I love you," Kat said. Rowen stopped walking, and she stopped. They looked at each other for a while, and they started to get closer, but all of a sudden they heard a nice little voice.
"Hurry up, you two, we don't have all day! We need to keep moving, we can't stop to gaze into each other's eyes!" Ryo told them coldly. Everyone started cracking up.
"Go Rowen, ha ha, did you guys have some fun last night? Ha HA," Kento yelled back, laughing his head off.
"Yea, man, maybe we shouldn't put you guys together anymore, HA HAHAHA," Sage joined in.
Before anyone could say any more, Rowen yelled, "SHUT UP NOW!"
Ryo rolled his eyes and started walking again. "Hey, Ryo, what's your problem!" Kat yelled at him.
"Do you want to know my problem, Kat? I'll tell you my problem. When I was four years old I fell down the stairs at the same time my mother died because of my little sister that was still in her stomach. She couldn't call to get help because my head was bleeding and she was too worried about me. Later when I was about six years old my dad took me to his work, taking pictures of animals. He told me to stay in the jeep were it was safe. After about an hour I heard a scream, I turned around to see a lion killing my father, and do you know what the last thing he said was? 'Run, Ryo, get away from here!' I was too scared to move so I couldn't even do that.
"When the lion was finished with my father he turned to me, I would have been eaten too, but," he looked at White Blaze, "my tiger saved me. It was the first time I met White Blaze, and right then and there I promised I would never lose anyone ever again. And I haven't either, but now I have some Dynasty freak that's in love with me! Which makes it twice as hard to fight this Dynasty freak, 'cause she comes when I'm all alone and not expecting it. Not to mention I have to lead all of you! That is my problem!" Ryo told her.
Kat and Kit looked at the ground, they thought losing their parents was bad, but he had to watch his parents die, and never got to see his little sister. Then Ally broke the silence. "Does that mean his parents aren't coming back either?" Ally asked.
"Yeah, sweetie, his parents aren't coming back either." Rowen looked at her, then at Ryo; he knew that it was really hard to tell or even talk about his parents.
Ryo turned around so his back is facing the others, took a deep breath, and said, "We need to keep moving." His voice cracked when he talked. He was about to cry, it was so hard to talk about his parents. He blamed himself even though there was nothing he could have done.
"I'm sorry, Ryo," Kit said and put a hand on his shoulder.
"It looks too that Rowen and I aren't the only ones who are making a relationship," Kat said while smiling. Kit gave her a dirty look. Kat stuck out her tongue.
"Look, Ryo? Ryo? Okay, where'd he go?" Kit asked when she turned around.
Rowen started to rub his temples. He went to fight Trots alone, isn't that great? Rowen turned around. "Why does he do this to us?"
"I don't know, maybe he likes it when we worry about him!" Cye added in.
"Yea, and if Trots finds him... I don't think he'll escape this time! That's putting it in a good way. I can't believe she's in love with HIM! It's weird I get the normal, cute, girls. Rowen gets the different girls." Kat gave him a suppressed but dirty look. "Cye gets the shy girls. Kento gets the... hungry girls, but Ryo doesn't usually get the girls, and now he has two girls that are after him, one I think he likes back, the other I think he wants to destroy."
Kit smiled. "You better not be talking about me when you said destroy. Wait a minute, how do we find Ryo?"
"White Blaze will track him down," Kento added in.
"No need, I'm right here," Ryo said. They whirled around to see him leaning on a tree. "I found a safe way to get in to the castle, or as safe as it'll get."
"You found a safe way in, in five minutes? Come on, Ryo, that's like impossible," Kento said meanly.
"SO I GET LUCKY, BIG DEAL!" Ryo yelled really loud.
"Yo, Ryo, calm down. It wasn't like he asked you kill yourself or something. What's wrong with you? You've never been this mean before," Rowen asked, trying to be really calm. He didn't want Ryo to blow up again. What's wrong, something is really wrong that he ain't telling us about. Ryo is to nervous; how strong is this Trots? No, maybe he's just tense from talking about his parents. I have to have faith in him. His voice sounds weird, hope he's not getting sick, wrong place for that! Rowen thought to himself.
All of a sudden White Blaze came trotting up. He took one look at Ryo and started to growl and roar. The tiger got in his fighting position and kept growling at Ryo.
"What - what's wrong with White Blaze? Why is he growling at Ryo, I thought you said they never hurt each other, that they're bonded?" Kat asked, confused.
Everyone but Kit, Kat, and Ally got in their fighting position. Rowen said in an angry voice, "That's not Ryo! Who are you?" Rowen demanded.
"Why, I'm your leader, Ryo of the Wildfire," someone said. It was definitely not Ryo's voice, but it was high pitched and it echoed.
"WHO ARE YOU!" Kento yelled, and I mean he really yelled.
"His name is Ryan, from what I remember from the books he is very strong, and very fast too. Not as fast as Lady Kayura, though he can do illusions like Dais. Probably a really good enemy. It would be better if he was an ally, but that's okay," Cye said while everyone else stands there with their mouths open.
"Very good, Torrent." Ryo disappeared, and in his place was a kinda tall man with shoulder length hair that was blonde. His eyes were pure black. He had an armor on; it was like Daller and Alexs, pure black with a little gray.
"Where's Ryo?" Sage demanded.
"I don't know where your wimpy little leader Wildfire is. Probably got scared and ran home to his mommy," Ryan said with an evil smile.
"He's not wimpy!" Kit defended him.
"Then why does he always run away or get beaten up? Shut up, let's do this," Ryan told them.
"Let's armor up! Armor of the Torrent!"
"Armor of the Hard Rock!"
"Armor of the Halo!"
"Armor of the Strata!"
"Armor of the Forest!"
"Armor of the Jungle!"
"Armor of the Flower! Dao Chi!"
Sage took out his sword and started to run toward Ryan. He ran right through him. He turned around to see him ten feet away from where he was five seconds ago. "Man, he is fast," Sage said, not believing he could move that fast.
"I got him! Iron Rock Crusher!" Kento yelled. Ryan disappeared and came back when the rocks stop flying. "Damn, he's fast. How are we are supposed to beat him if he disappears and comes back every time we attack?" Kento asked, not taking his eyes off of Ryan.
"Now you shall see my power." He pulled out a sword and lunged at Rowen. Rowen flipped back just in time. "Very good, Strata. Now dodge this Wind Steam." This air like stuff cames out of his sword. It blew not only Rowen but everyone else about ten feet backwards. Ryan stood there laughing.
Sage looked around; everyone was knocked out. His body hurt all over. There was no way he could fight like this. He put his head down on the ground again.
When he woke up it was dark out. There was a fire going and he was in a sleeping bag, along with everyone else. Where am I, were we captured? No, they wouldn't be so nice to us. Or else it's a trick or I'm dreaming. No, I think this is a real place and I don't sense any evil. What's going on!
All the sudden he heard White Blaze roar. Then he heard Ryo. "Give it up, Ryan, you can't beat me!" Ryo shouted. Then he heard Ryan's voice. Ryo's was strong but Ryan's was weak. Then he started to listen again; Ryan was telling Ryo something.
"I can beat you easily, I'm just playing right now!" Ryan said.
"Bullshit, you're trembling. Face it, I'm stronger than you. I mean, I was able to start a fire and get ALL of my friends in a comfy spot while you struggled to get up!" Ryo said calmly back to him. "You're weak! How my friends fell so easily I don't know, but I don't fall so easily!" Ryo yelled at him. "FLARE UP NOW!" The fire headed straight at Ryan. He screamed and disappeared.
A voice was then echoing all around Ryo. "I'll be back, consider yourself lucky I let you off this time!" It was Ryan's voice.
"Lucky! CHICKEN!" Ryo turned around to see Sage staring at him. "Morning, have a nice sleep?"
"Lovely. How did you beat him? He's so fast!" Sage asked.
"It's just a trick, Sage, he's not that fast! He can do ILLUSION, remember?"
"Oh, right, sorry. Well, you kicked butt! When did you arrive?"
"I heard Kat scream, maybe it was Kit. I don't know. I came then, I wasn't that far away, but far enough that I got there too late, you were all out cold."
"Huh, where are we, Rowen, where's Rowen?" Kat started yelling.
"Calm down, he's over there. Man, Kat, a little high strung!"
"Shut up, Ryo, you weren't there, you don't know happened, you ran away. Ryan was right, you are just a wimp," Kat said meanly.
"Kat, he..."
"Stop, it's okay, Sage, let her believe what she wants to believe," Ryo told Sage. "Kat, what would you like me to do?"
"Resign, let someone else be leader! They can't be any worse than you!" Kat told him.
"NO, not happening, you don't know Ryo..."
"SAGE, STOP! Kat, if I let someone else be leader, then what about Inferno?" Ryo asked.
"Give it to someone else!" Kat yelled.
"Give it to someone else, give it to someone else?" Ryo looked surprised.
"Did I stutter? Yes, give it to someone else!" Kat told him.
"Kat, the only way I could give the armor away is if they had a power like Talpa had, or I died and gave it to them."
"SO DIE!" Kat yelled.
"Huh, what's with all the yelling, who is yelling? I'm captured? Where's Ryan?" Rowen was totally confused.
"We're fine, Rowen, glad to see you're okay," Sage told him.
Rowen sat up and looked around. "How did we escape from being captured?" Rowen asked.
"Oh, Ryo..."
"It's okay, Sage, you can tell them the truth." Ryo turned to look at everyone else. "The truth is, even though Sage was in a lot of pain he stayed awake just so you wouldn't be captured. When I got there I got a cheap shot on him and scared him off," Ryo said.
Sage looked at him weirdly. What the hell is he talking about, I passed out like everyone else. I didn't scare anyone off! He's up to something, but the question is what? Sage thought to himself. Should I tell the others? No, Ryo would just say I was the one who saved the day, and I have a feeling that this time and this time alone Kat will believe him and not me! Sage rolled his eyes just thinking about it.
"Way to go, Sage! I think you should be the leader!" Kat said, smiling mostly cause it wasn't Ryo who saved them.
"No, that's not possible, I was awake right after we hit the rocks, I saw you pass out! I saw Ryo come out of the shadows and look at us, then I passed out! But you didn't do anything!" Rowen blurted out.
Ryo put his hand over his eyes and shook his head, then said, "I thought you might have been awake, I was hoping I was wrong, but NO, I had to be right!" He started laughing under his breath. "We're dead, or will be. Nothing I can do, not how I'm acting, anyway. I'm just going to get in your way. I can't handle Trots, she's too much for me. I was hoping that if I got her to believe I was weak she wouldn't like me." He looked at Kit who was still asleep. "The only downfall would be... I would probably lose Kit's pride in me too. And everyone else who believed in me. Kat, you were pushing me up when you were mean to me. I wouldn't let you down, 'cause I already let you down by getting captured."
Kat looked a the ground. So he really isn't a ditz, he is a good leader, Kat thought to herself, then it hit her. "NO, you can't leave! Then you would be letting me down. Before I was just expecting too much. Ever since we got to the Dynasty, all Rowen said when I have doubts about you was to have faith in you. And now you're going to walk out on us?" Kat asked with a puzzled look on her face.
"Kat, I can't beat her! She doesn't want to kill me, she wants to have FUN with me, if you know what I mean! And I ain't talking about going to the park fun, either. I have a feeling that if I stay here, you guys will all die and I'll be stuck in a room with Trots, tied up. If you know what I mean," Ryo explained to her.
"Oh, and what's going to happen if you run away? I tell you we'll die cause we don't have enough power to defeat her. Then she goes after you and you still get captured. Or you stay and fight, and believe in yourself, and we defeat her using Inferno. We can do this, Ryo, if you believe in yourself, and only if you believe in yourself. Otherwise we're history. Our fate rests in your hands, Ryo, what'll it be?" Kat asked him.
"I'm hungry." They all - all that were awake - jerked around to see Kento rubbing his head. "What do we have to eat, what are we talking about?" Kento asked, starting to crawl over to the food bag.
"Leave the food alone, Kento," Rowen said, not taking his eyes off of Ryo.
"Umm, well, everyone's up now except Kit and Cye. Man, you guys heal fast," Ryo said, trying to change the subject.
"You didn't answer the question, Ryo," Sage said, also watching Ryo.
"What question?" Kento asked, trying to sneak over to the food.
"KENTO, LEAVE THE FOOD ALONE!" Kat yelled.
"Huh, who's yelling?" Ryo slowly turned around to see Cye sitting up.
"We're wandering from the subject here; answer the question, Ryo, NOW!" Rowen told him.
Ryo licked his lips nervously. "Okay, okay, umm, all right, just get off my back, I'll fight!"
"And believe in yourself?" Kit said
"Huh?" they all said at the same time.
Ryo looked at her. "When did you wake up?" Ryo asked her.
"I've been awake, I was awake even before Sage was, I just kept quiet," Kit told him.
"Yeah, and believe in myself," Ryo said, smiling. I just hope I can pull this off! She's so strong! Ryo thought to himself.
"Good! Now, let's eat!" Kat told everyone.
Kento hollered, "Yes!"

"Daller, what's the plan?" Alexs asks.
"I say we get Wildfire first, so Trots will get off of our backs," Ryan said, cleaning his wounds. "And while we are at it we can beat him up!" Ryan made his hand into a fist and laughed. "He'll pay for what he did to me, he'll pay."
"Oh, shut up, Ryan, revenge will get you nowhere. Remember what happened to Kally, poor girl." They all put their heads down. "But you're right, we do need to get Wildfire first, and I know the perfect way to do it. Ryan, I'll need you to do some illusions," Daller told them.
"Why, you saw that my illusions didn't fool him at all," Ryan said.
"Not your fast illusion, but maybe if we can get him away from everyone else we can make him think his beloved Jungle has been captured, making him fall right into our trap. HA HA HA HA ha ha ha ha!"
The three Warlords walked out of the room. Little did they know they were being watched by their MASTER Trots. She watched them walk out of the room they were in. Then she thought to herself, Stupid fools, they can't trick Wildfire to come here, 'cause he still won't want to stay. I want him to be my king! Looks like I'm going to have to deal with this myself, those bumbling tumbling fools can't do anything. I better call them back before they try to do something and ruin everything! Trots thought, then called for the warlords and walked out of the room.

*****

"GUYS, we need to talk if we're going to beat Trots!" Ryo called to the others.
"Guys and girls, thank you!" Kit teased.
"Yeah, yeah, I know! Anyway, any ideas on how to beat her?" Ryo asked.
"I might," Kat said as she took a seat in Rowen's lap. "Okay, they've made it pretty obvious they want Ryo and not anyone else. So we can use that to trick on them. I'm sure they're going to try to use my sister Kit here to trick Ryo," Kat told them.
"Well, duh, everyone knows that!" Kento said as he got up. He started to walk to the food.
"Kento, we just ate. If you so much as take one more step towards that food, I'll beat you down and give you a wet willy too," Cye told Kento.
Kento put his head down and started to turn around, but then turned back towards the food and made a jump for it. Cye was about to jump at Kento but didn't have the chance, cause Kento tripped over on a rock and fall flat on his butt. Everyone started cracking up. Cye fell back down and started rolling with laughter.
"It's not funny," Kento whined.
"Kento, you just gave me an idea!" Ryo exclaimed. Then he got up and ran into the trees. The others just stood or sat there.
"Where'd he go?" Cye asked, wiping the tears off his face from laughing so hard.
"I have no idea, he said he had an idea." Rowen looked at the way he ran. "Should we go after him?"
"No, I think for once Ryo has every thing under control," Kat told them. "And plus, we should have faith in Ryo." Rowen smiled at Kat.
"Now where have I heard that before?" Rowen said, giving her an evil smile.
"Shut up!" They all turned to see Alexs, Ryan and Daller standing there.
"What do you want?" Kat asked.
"I think they came here to fight, Kat," Ally said.
"Thank you, Ally," Kat said and patted her on the head.
"Well, to tell you the truth, we only want to fight on one condition," Daller told them.
"What! We can beat your butt whether you like it or not," Sage said, shaking his fist.
"No, you can't, we can just vanish, you'll never know where we went, and we can come make trouble and go when you come. Trust me, we can do a lot to you," Ryan told them.
"What are the conditions!" Kento asked, just wanting to start fighting.
"Well, if you win we'll kill ourselves so you never have to deal with us again," Daller said, crossing his arms.
"And if you win?" Kat said, glaring at them.
"If we win we get Ryo of the Wildfire!" Alexs said, smiling.
"NO WAY! We aren't going to let you have Ryo!" Kit said.
"Well, you'd be coming out better, if you win you lose three enemies, if we win we only lose one enemy," Daller told them.
"NO! WE DON'T ONLY LOSE ONE OF OUR BEST FRIENDS BUT THE INFERNO and THE WILDFIRE!" Kento shouted. Then getting pretty mad he shouted, "I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU EVEN ASKED US THAT, LIKE WE WOULD EVEN GIVE A CHANCE OF LOSING RYO. WITHOUT HIM WE'RE WORTHLESS!" Kento then yelled "Armor of the Hardrock!" Then he took out his bo and started slashing at Daller. Daller dodged every one of his shots. "I'll fight you whether you like it or not!"
Finally Kento hit Daller square in the stomach. Daller went flying backwards and hit a tree. Rowen jumped into the air and fired arrows at Alexs. Alexs tried to dodge them, but one hit him in the shoulder blade. He screamed out in pain then pulled the arrow out of his shoulder.
Sage and Cye both took on Ryan. Ryan pulled out his nunchucks and twirled them around, showing off. Sage and Cye looked at each other and nodded their heads and jumped at Ryan. Ryan jumped back and laughed. "Is that all you have, Ronins?" Alexs asked mockingly.
"NO, STOP, YOU'RE FIGHTING FOR THE WRONG SIDE!" came a voice that was all too familar.
"KAYURA!" the Ronins all yelled at the same time.
"What are you doing here?" Sage asked as the other warlords walked up and stood behind Kayura.
"Your leader invited us. He said that you might need our help," Cale explained.
"Who are these people?" asked Kat.
"We are here to help," Kayura said nicely. The Ronins gave Kayura and the warlords a dirty look. They may have changed from bad to good but the Ronins still didn't like that they had to work with them!
"NO, we can handle this ourselves. Go home!" Kento yelled.
"Please calm down, Hardrock, we only want to help," Dais exclaimed.
"I hope this wasn't his idea!" Sage said and crossed his arms.
"Shut it! We're here to fight, not to listen to your bickering!" yelled Daller. Alexs didn't even give them a warning, he just jumped at Kayura, expecting her to be an easy kill. But she's anything but that! Kayura easily got him down.
"I thought you'd be at least as good as Wildfire!" Kayura said meanly.
"I'M TEN TIMES AS GOOD AS WILDFIRE!!" Alexs yelled back as he rolled out of the way.
Daller fought Sage, while Ryan took care of Kento and Rowen. Kento slashed his bo at Ryan, and Ryan dodged it just in time to get an arrow in the shoulder.
He glared at Rowen, who is still in the firing-arrow stance. "You'll pay for that, blue boy!" Ryan yelled. He started to run towards Rowen, but Kento intercepted him and hit him with his bo. He hit him like a baseball and Ryan went flying backwards and hit a tree.
"HA ha, did that hurt? There's more where that came from! HA HA!" Kento bellowed.
Sage did a jump kick and hit Daller in the face. Daller flew backwards, and when he started to get up Cye hit him with his trident, sending him farther back. Daller moaned in pain as he tried to get up.
Alexs jumped up into a tree to get his breath. He looks around and saw the Warlords JUST standing there, watching! He looked at Ryan who was beaten badly by Hardrock and Strata. He then looked at Daller who was also beaten badly, but by Halo and Torrent. And he wasn't winning against this girl either!
"Oh, Alexs, where are you? Come out, come out, wherever you are!" Kayura looked up into the trees. "Are you up there, Alexs, is that you?" Kayura jumped up to the tree that Alexs was in. Alexs stepped backwards, scared. "Hi there, what are you doing up here? I mean, I'm just a GIRL!" Kayura laughed.
Alexs jumped into the air and shouted, "We're outta here!" He teleported away. The other two (Daller and Ryan) looked up, jumped up and teleported away. Then they heard a voice. "You may have won this one, but the war has only begun!" The voice was Alex's.
"Not bad, Ronins," Kayura stated while she put her Starlight Swords back into their slots.
"What happened to the Ancient thing, Kayura?" Sage asked.
"I'm more powerful without it; the Ancient's Staff is good to find people, but it's not as powerful as the Starlight Swords."
"So, you're too powerful as it is!" Cye pointed out. They all laughed.
"Hey, how do we know that you're on our side?" Kento said as he pointed to the Warlords. "THEY DIDN'T HELP!"
"But I did, and they're on my team. We'd like to join your team, if you'd let us. Ryo wants as to ask you, he says it's up to you. So can we join your team?" Kayura asked.
The Ronins got in a little huddle. Five minutes later they turned around and Sage said with a simple answer, "Sure."
"Here little snaky, snaky, come here." They all turned around to see Sekmet petting a rattlesnake. The rattlesnake then crawled up his arm and around his neck, then it just hung there while Sekmet petted it. Dais looked puzzled, then he smiled very widely. He ran past Sekmet and over to a tree, and he reached his hand up and just held it there.
The Ronins looked at each other then shrugged their shoulders. Then Kayura and Kale looked at each other and said at the same time, "Oh NO!" Then they put their heads in their hands and shook their heads.
"What, what, what is he doing!" Kento asked, or more yelled.
"He's getting a spider," Kale said still shaking his head.
"A spider?" Cye asked.
"Hey, who are these people?" Kat asked as she ran up with her sisters close behind her.
"Where have you been?" Rowen asked, giving Kat a nudge on the shoulder.
"We were fighting the big armed men?" Ally said, thinking he really wanted to know (she's only five and a half).
"Hi, I'm Kayura, the one with the snake is Sekmet, the one that looks like he's petting his hand is Dais."
"What is he doing?" Kit asked coldly.
"Petting a spider."
"A SPIDER!" Ally jumped into Kat's arms.
"And I'm Kale, me and Kayura are the only normal ones."
"Where's Ryo?" Kit asked.
"Kit, are you worried about him?" Sage asked with an evil smile smeared across his face. All he got for an answer was an evil glare, and let me tell you, if looks could kill Sage would be dead and in the ground by now!
All the sudden they heard a deathly scream. "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!!" Cye yelled.
"Come on!" Kat ran in the direction the scream came from. They all followed her. When they got there they saw Dynasty soldiers all around.
"Come on, someone's here that needs our help! Let's move," Sage yelled.
They all started fighting. "Hey, look, there's a girl!"
"Here's another!" Cye yelled. Cye started to run toward the girl, but then some other girl jumped in front, swinging a stick at him while throwing rocks at him. "Hey, stop! STOP!" He just jumped up and grabbed the stick from her hand. She jumped back, puzzled; she wasn't expecting him to do that. "I'm not going to hurt you, I just want to help," Cye stated.
"CYE, WATCH YOUR BACK!!" Kento got there just in time to stop the soldier from stabbing Cye in the back.
"Oh, thanks Kento."
"Hey, I can't let my best bud get beat by a couple of puny soldiers." Kento slapped him on the back.
Sage ran up with a girl in his arms. "What's going on! What are you people doing here?" Sage asked.
"This guy brought as here, he said we would understand later, then he just left us. Then the soldiers came. Brittney and Tina freaked out; I tried to protect them, but Britt tried to run away. I couldn't leave Tina, so I just hoped Britt got away. Now, who are you?!" the girl explained.
"Your name?" Kento asked.
"Chi Chi."
"Chi Chi? Hey, that's that one babe's name, the one on DBZ, the really mean one, you know?"
"Only you and Ryo watch those cartoons," Cye said, shaking his head.
"WHO ARE YOU!" asked the girl sitting on the ground. They were guessing that was Tina, cause she was with Chi Chi.
"We're the Ronin Warriors. Now do you know who it was that brought you here? They brought you here for a reason."
"They? There was only one," Tina said.
"He seemed really nice," came a tiny voice from Sage's arms. "I don't think he wanted us to get hurt, I think it was a mistake. I think he went away so we wouldn't get hurt, but it was too late," the girl said.
She's so quiet I can barely hear her, and I'm holding her! She must be shy, Sage thought.
"You're right, I am," Brittney said.
WHAT, I - I - I THOUGHT THAT!! Sage thought. The girl laughed a little.
"Britt can read minds; we tell her to stay out of other people's heads, but she does it anyway," Chi Chi explained. "Britt and I are eighteen, but Tina is seventeen."
"We're all eighteen too, except for Cye who is seventeen and Ally who is five," Sage told her.
"Five and A HALF!!" Ally corrected.
"Yeah, sorry, five and a half."
"I'll be six in May. May 5, that's my birthday," Ally said proudly.
"What do you know about the man that brought you here?" Cye asked.
"He was wearing what you're wearing, that's why I attacked you," Chi Chi explained.
"But his was red and white," Britt said.
"Did she say red and white? I must have heard wrong, I mean, she's so quiet," Kit asked.
"She said red and white. Are you sure it looked like ours?" Rowen said; his face was white.
"Yes, why?" Tina asked.
"Our leader, he wears red and white," Sage explained. "Did he have black hair. 'Bout shoulder-length?"
"Yes, I think you need a new leader!" Chi Chi explained.
"Nah, I think they have a great leader. Smart, good-looking, has a great sense of humor." They all turned to see Ryo standing there, leaning on a tree.
"You!" Chi Chi ran at him. Ryo stepped to one side, making her fall on her face. Ryo looked at her like she was crazy and he shrugged his shoulders.
"RYO, WHAT WERE YOU THINKING! WHY DID YOU BRING THEM HERE?" Kento yelled.
"Kento, calm down," Ryo said very calmly, too calm. "I knew you'd come. And plus, I want to beat Trots! I want to beat the snot outta her, and I can with their help," Ryo smiled.
"Their help? They're just normal people!" Rowen yelled.
"So were we before we got our armors," Ryo said.
"Are you saying they have armors?" Kat asked.
"No, no," Ryo said.
"Then how can they help?"
"They're the ones!" Ryo said with a smile.
"The ones for what?" Cye asked.
"The ones in the scrolls, the ones about the three sisters, one can read minds, one can move things, but the third was smudged out. What else can you do?" Ryo asked.
"Tina can talk to wildlife and sealife. Oh, we're not sisters, Tina and I are cousins and Britt is just a friend."
Kento looked at Chi Chi. She had shoulder-length hair, dark brown. She had blue green eyes and small waist, but was not petite, she definitely worked out. She wasn't afraid to tell her opinion, that was for sure. Kento thought she was rather cute.
Tina had reddish-brownish hair. She looked petite, very petite. She had green eyes. Britt, who was still in Sage's arms, had blond hair and straight bangs. She was also petite but not as much as Tina.
"So, Ryo, how did you find them?" Kit asked.
"Well, it was really quite simple, all I had to do was multiply our ages which is 345673233432 together..."
"Ryo, I think you're a little off on that one!" Sage explained.
"No, I'm not, our first birth was in the 1200s. So, anyway, then you divide 34, 'cause that's Olas' first law. (guy in an ancient scroll) Then you -102850, divide it by 2000, multiply E=mc2 which equals 84, divide that by four which is 21, then you add five for the Ronins, subtract four for the Warlords and add three for the nature girls, which is 25. Then you go to the adress 12500. It said in the scrolls to put a one in front of it, and two zeros in back. I found them."
"NATURE GIRLS! What kind of a name is that?" Kit yelled.
"Ha ha," Ryo did a nervous laugh, "the one the scrolls gave you, he he."
"You used a calculator, right?" Sage asked. He flunked math, how did he figure this out? Even with a calculator!
"No, I didn't. It was strange... but I knew how to do everything like I had done it before!" Ryo said like he was in a daze.
"How did you get back to the mortal world?" Kit asked.
"You just have to meadite in a place that's not eivil for a while and a door appears," Ryo explained.
"Is that how you got back in, too?" Cye asked.
"Yeah. Hey, do you want to get this show on the road? We have to train them! Otherwise they won't survive the next battle."
"Don't you think that will take a little bit of time? Time that we don't have!" Kit asked.
"No, they'll learn fast, trust me!"
