D&D Chapter 5

A New Enemy

We all got up the next day and Darien, Serena, and Rini decided to go on an adventure of their own for a month or two so we bid them farewell and a safe journey. Life went back to normal shortly after Shadow was defeated and we were able to celebrate our victory with the z fighters before they went back to their families. We were in the park when Seiya came up behind me and grabbed my waist; before I could protest he threw me into the air. I called out my wings so that I wouldn't fall to the ground. Just then a man in a midnight blue suit came over and asked to join us. I got a bad feeling as did Yami, Bakura, and Seiya. Yaten, Raye, Amy and Taiki sensed it too but said that he could to be polite. The man didn't notice me until I came down and landed folding my wings away again. The man introduced himself to be Cirrus. We introduced ourselves and he took a long look at Raye, Amy, and me. He suddenly formed a fireball and blasted us. I jumped into the air and hung there while Amy and Raye did their best to dodge it. He then went to blast the guys. I swooped down and picked up Yami while Seiya called on his wings and lifted Bakura. Yaten and Taiki got Raye and Amy. We started flying off but the man found a way to separate us into four groups, two in each, and managed to get the edge of my left wing causing pain and causing me to lose altitude until I was about two feet in the air. I ended up dropping Yami before I fell to the ground. Yami rushed over to check on me in which I was fine, but I told him that I wouldn't be flying for a while.

Meanwhile, in another part of the forest, Seiya and Bakura had landed and were in the middle of a heated argument on how the hell they ended up as a pair to work together.

"I won't work with an insolent child!" Bakura shouted. "Go find your chick!" he continued.

Seiya went and smacked him hard upside the head. Bakura grabbed his head and went to hurt Seiya very very badly but was stopped when Cirrus approached them.

"What the hell do you want you son of a bitch!" Bakura yelled.

"Touchy, touchy." Cirrus said calmly.

Bakura was ready to punch his lights out when Seiya stopped him earning a glare. Cirrus walked up and grabbed Bakura's throat and forced his back into a tree. Seeing this pissed Seiya off and he took his flame blade slicing the hand off of Cirrus, which just grew back.

'Damn! He can regenerate.' Seiya thought.

Bakura was free and he went behind Seiya whispering a plan of attack (or rather, retreat) in Seiya's ear. Seiya frowned at the idea but decided

'It's better than dying.'

In another part Taiki and Amy had landed and were trying to formulate a plan to find the others. Yaten and Raye were in another part of the forest as well but they were playing rock-paper-scissors to find out who gets to choose a direction to follow. We all had to find a way to reunite with the others, and I was starting to get hungry. I was lucky to find a stream with several fish and ate to my heart's content.

"Are you done yet?" Yami asked impatiently.

I replied sarcastically, "Gee, you seem to be in a hurry; got a hot date?" Yami glared at me before grabbing my wrist and pulling me along down the path.

Seiya and Bakura were still looking for everyone when Bakura started whining.

Seiya said sarcastically, "For someone who's supposed to be 5000 years old you certainly act like a baby."

Bakura stopped whining and glared at Seiya before retorting, "Well at least I don't have to worry about a troublesome chick that finds trouble wherever she goes."

Seiya, who was behind him, gave him a good kick in the butt causing Bakura to fall flat on his face. After an hour of forks in the road we were all reunited finding that Taiki and Amy were waiting in the same spot for us for a long time.

Cirrus showed up applauding saying,

"Good job, now see if you can find the girls" as he vanished along with Amy, Raye, and me.

Seiya, Taiki, and Yaten ran at top speed to no place in particular and then turned around shouting, "Are you guys coming or what?!"

Yami and Bakura just looked at each other and shrugged before taking their time walking towards them. They took their time that is, until Yaten and Taiki ran over and grabbed their arms forcing them to run. After two hours of cursing, long paths, and some smacking of heads, they finally came to a dark castle.

They looked at the door which was heavily chained and locked when Seiya groaned,

"Where the hell is a skeleton key when you need one?!"

Suddenly Trista showed up again only this time she had Hotaru with her.

Bakura and Hotaru looked into each others eyes for a brief moment before Hotaru realized she was blushing and quickly turned her back to him. Trista unlocked the door and they all walked in. They started walking down the hall when a trap door opened under Hotaru and she screamed as she started to fall; when she felt someone grab her hand. She looked up and saw Bakura before he pulled her to safety.

"Uh, hello can we get going!" Yaten yelled. They all continued on their way until they heard yelling coming from one of the doors.

"I'd recognize that voice anywhere." Seiya whispered.

They burst into the door to find us in a cage and me cursing at Cirrus. Raye was trying to hurt Cirrus very badly, but was unsuccessful.

Hotaru called on her silence glaive causing Bakura to think,

'Ooo, Sharp pointy object that can cause serious pain. I gotta get me one of those.'

Cirrus turned with a sly grin on his face to the newcomers. Seeing Trista and Hotaru he planed on kidnapping yet two more girls but he didn't get the chance. Trista unlocked the cage and let us out and Seiya blew up his castle as we left. Seiya was frowning when we headed back to the village.

"What's wrong?" I questioned him.

"Cirrus has the power to regenerate." Seiya said flatly.

"What?!" came the startled reply from everyone except Bakura.

"I cut his hand off with my flame blade and he just regenerated his hand." Seiya said sadly as we walked into the house.

Seiya sat down and I tried to comfort him by rubbing his back. We talked about strategies to battle and then Bakura and Yami led Hotaru and Trista to some rooms they could stay in.

The next day, I went for a walk around the woods and got a bad feeling I was being followed, unfortunately I couldn't turn and attack fast enough and was knocked unconscious. I came to, to find my hands tied up on a low tree branch and my feet could still touch the ground. My head snapped up as I heard someone's foot steps coming towards me. Cirrus suddenly came into view and I said angrily,

"You?! What do you want with me?!"

"All I want is the animal spirit within you." He replied calmly with an evil smirk.

"Why did you wait until I regained consciousness?" I questioned him.

"I wanted a kiss before I put you out of commission." Cirrus said as he grabbed my chin and pulled me up into a kiss.

I growled before I bit down hard on his bottom lip.

"Ahhh!" Cirrus screamed before pulling away and slapping me.

At that point, the others found us and saw me tied to a tree and Cirrus' lip was bleeding, before it sealed up right in front of us.

"Let her go Cirrus!" Seiya yelled.

"Not yet!"

Cirrus yelled before forming a sapphire ball of energy and throwing it at me causing me to let out a startled cry of pain before losing consciousness.

"What have you done!"

Seiya shouted as he ran to attack Cirrus; only to get hit by the same energy he used on me, and have his animal spirit separated from him as well. Yami, Bakura, Trista, Hotaru, Amy, Raye, Taiki, and Yaten all watched in horror as both feline spirits were put in cages and Seiya and I lay unconscious. Both Taiki and Yaten attacked and had their spirits taken as well. Cirrus looked at the collection of felines he had gathered and laughed at the horrified expressions on the faces of Amy, Raye, Trista, Hotaru, Yami, and Bakura before disappearing with the animal spirits. Yami went over and picked up Seiya, Bakura untied and carried me, Amy got Taiki and Raye got Yaten and they headed back to the village. As we were in our rooms resting, the others were downstairs devising a plan to get the spirits back.

"Look, Amy and I have animal spirits too; Amy has an arctic fox and I have a red fox." Raye explained.

"Then why didn't he take your spirits?" Yami questioned.

"We never took our animal forms in front of him, so he doesn't know about our spirits." Amy explained.

Bakura noticed Hotaru looking at the ground and Yami noticed Trista had a worried expression on her face.

"What's wrong?" Yami and Bakura questioned them.

"We too, have animal spirits." Trista said sadly.

"What?!" They all asked surprised.

"I have a black panther's spirit and Hotaru has a swift fox." Trista answered.

"Good, we can use this to our advantage." Bakura said excitedly.

"No, we can't." Hotaru said, stronger than she had intended.

"Why not?" Yami asked.

"Because, Cirrus can easily take our spirits, once he knows it's us." Amy explained for the others.

"How could he possibly know?" Bakura asked.

"Usually, felines don't have red, purple, or violet eyes." Raye answered.

"Cirrus probably has tons of animal spirits how can we tell them apart?" Amy asked worriedly.

"I remember seeing Blade and Seiya in their feline forms; they each had an amulet." Yami answered.

"So, we find some spirits with amulets, then what?" Raye asked.

"Then, we set them free." Yami answered simply.

"That won't work, unless we have the bodies that they were taken from." Trista stated.

"Why not?" Bakura asked getting tired of all the set-backs.

"Because, the spirits will roam freely and Blade, Seiya, Taiki, and Yaten will never regain consciousness." Hotaru answered.

"Oh." Bakura said flatly.

They finally decided to go into the castle in their regular forms and attack Cirrus with the elemental powers that they had at their disposal. Trista stayed behind to work on a formula that would break down the cells in Cirrus' body so that he wouldn't be able to regenerate. Once inside the castle, they found the door in which Cirrus had all of the trapped spirits and attacked him from behind. Cirrus fell over in his chair and looked at them angrily.

"What are you going to do? I have all of your strongest animal spirits and there is nothing you can do to save them."

Just as he finished his sentence, Trista entered the castle and the room they were in and threw a bottle that had some pink liquid in it and Cirrus screamed,

"It burns, it burns!" "What have you done to me?!"

"It's a chemical that will break down your regenerative cells so that you can't regenerate!" Trista said with a know-it-all tone.

"Nooo!!" Cirrus screamed as they all used their attacks and killed him.

When they all got back to the village with the animal spirits, they went into each room separately and released the animal spirits one-by-one. Bakura released my animal spirit, Yami released Seiya's animal spirit, Amy released Taiki's animal spirit, and Raye released Yaten's animal spirit. We all came to and I ran into Seiya's room hugging him tightly as Amy did the same to Taiki and Raye did the same to Yaten. We all lived happily for years on after and we never had another strong enemy since that day. Bakura and Hotaru found that they really liked each other and got along very well; and to this day they have been a couple. Yami and Trista have a similar story, Yami found that like him, Trista also felt lonely at times and they too became a couple and got along well.

The End
