The Power, Chapter 2

In another world known as the Dynasty, an evil being being wearing an ancient samurai armor sat on his throne in the Dynasty's castle. His name was Talpa, and he was the ruler of this vast world. He had tried so many times to rule the mortal world, but the five Ronin Warriors kept standing in his way. He knew that they had to be defeated before he could take over the mortal world.

He had three warriors who were helping him. They were known as Dark Warlords. At one time they had been against him, but after a deceptive plot, they were now serving him once again. Along with Lady Kayura.

"Yes," Sekhmet, Warlord of Venom complaned. "I was watching King of Snakes on the SciFi."

"Silence!" Talpa demanded. They were quiet. Cale, Warlord of Darkness rolled his eyes. Talpa continued as, as his viewing screen came on. They saw an American teenaged girl with shoulder length brown hair and cerulean eyes. "My high priest Badamon has sensed something about this girl. She has powers that could be useful to the evil Dynasty. It could be that she wears an armor."

"An armor?" Sekhmet asked, incredously. "Master Talpa, she's a girl. How can she wear an armor?"

"How can fifteen year old boys be wearing armors?" Talpa retorted, causing them to sweatdrop. "Speaking of which," Talpa continued, "when are you going to get my armors?"

"It's your armor," Cale mumbled. "You should go and get it." Talpa zapped him. "OW, dang that hurt!"

"Now about this girl," Talpa continued. "I want you to capture her. Perhaps we can turn her to the evil Dynasty, and against the Ronins.

The three bowed before Talpa. "As you wish, Master Talpa." And then they vanished from his presence.

Back at Mia's mansion, Mia was once again working at her computer, and Yulie was outside with both White Blaze and Blaze. He had come over earlier, and met Flash and her wolf. Yulie liked Flash right away, and she liked him, cause he reminded her of a little boy she baby sat. Yulie had also fallen in love with the big white wolf, never before seeing a wolf of that size.

So while he was outside playing, everybody else was doing homework, except Flash, who was watching TV. Kento looked up from his History page. "Cye, when are you going to make dinner?" he asked.

Cye's head shot up from his English book. "Oh, I totally fortgot!" An unlikely Cye thing. "I have an English test tomorrow, so I wanted to study. I want to pass it."

There was their answer. Flash disappeared into the kitchen. Kento's stomach growled loudly. "Hey, I bet they can hear that in America!" Flash joked from the kitchen.

Kento grumbled, but turned back to his page. He didn't think he'd be able to finish his homework without getting some food into his stomach. It seemed to be crying out to him. Why are you torturing me? FEED ME!

It was quiet for several minutes as the five Ronins worked on their homework. It was Saturday, and they were working hard to get it done on time for school on Monday. Not that they actually wanted to work on it, well

"There's a lighter in the second drawer to the left of the stove," Cye told her helpfully.

That puzzled them, and Rowen figured she had her own lighter. Seconds later, "There, that's better!" They figured she had finally lit the stove.

They returned to their homework, frowning in concentration. Kento could hardly concentrate because of his growling stomach, and the others were just trying to ignore him.

Suddenly they heard Yulie screaming, and White Blaze roaring angrily, and Blaze growling and barking furiously. Everyone dropped what they were doing, including Flash who remembered to turn off the stove- don't want a fire now!- and raced outside.

Standing a few feet away from them were Cale, Sekhmet, and Dias. Yulie saw the Ronins and immediately hid behind Ryo.

Cale stepped forward. "We've come for you, girl. Master Talpa requests your presence at once!"

"Alright, time for a real show down," Ryo said. "Armor up! Armor of Wildfire! Dao Jin!"

Cherry blossoms and rivers surrounded the five armors as their armors came to be. Flash was surprised, but not totally. I guess every country's got their own special warrior, she thought as she crossed her arms. "Well, what the heck? She tilted her face to the sky and raised one arm. "Armor of the Warrior! Now come!"

A bright light enveloped her, and everyone but Sage and Blaze covered their eyes. When the light faded they were surprised to see Flash wearing a blue and white armor, with blue bracelets adorning her upper arms, white boots, a matching helmet, a visor covering her eyes, and carrying a deadly sword that looked part katana, part nodatchi. She flipped the large blade into the air and caught it with one hand.

Flash peered at them for a second as she watched the Dark Warlords. "Nope. I'm a Warrior, among seven others in America. Your armor probably have names as does ours, however we don't call our armors' names just to wear them. We simply say Armor of the Warrior. Now come. I'll explain the rest later. Right now, let's kick some butt!"

"If I could defeat an ugly monster called Tutock and his Guardians, and soldierknights, I'm pretty sure I can handle you, Scar!"

The attack struck, and the Ronins cried out, thinking she had been hurt. The Warlords were laughing, until they heard a whistle. Cale turned into the direction of the sound, and his face met with a white boot. He flew several feet backward.

"How did she do that?" Sage wondered. "Cale's surekill should have hit her. I'm glad it didn't but..." He couldn't speak anymore.

"You won't be laughing long, Wildfire!" Sekhmet said. Suddenly fifty Dynasty soldiers appeared, and the Ronins found themselves in battle.

Flash was proving herself to be quite the fighter. She had already taken out Cale, who refused to get up now. Now the girl was fighting with Dias, who tried to make an illusion to fool her. He had become Yulie, but when Blaze kept growling, she knew it was a trick.

"This is for being ugly!" she yelled as popped him in the eye. "This is for wanting to kidnap me!" she punched him in the stomach. "This is for causing trouble for my friends!" she punched him in the nose, breaking it. "And this is for using Yulie as one of your tricks!" she kicked him very hard in the crotch, sending him flying into a nearby tree. He landed hard and immediately started puking.

The Ronin Warriors were still fighting. Several soldiers were destroyed, and more were being taken out. Rowen shot several of them with his arrows, occasionally using his Arrow Shock Wave surekill. Ryo took out several with his Wildfire swords, also using his Flare Up Now surekill.

The soldiers were going down quickly, but more arrived to take their place. Cye wiped out several with his Yari spear, then blasted several away with his Super Wave Smasher surekill.

And Kento had fun destroying other Dynasty soldiers with his three part staff weapon. Kento loved to fight, and was enjoying every moment of it. More soldiers were coming. They needed to be buried. He used his Iron Rock Crusher, and the ground suddenly opened up and swallowed the soldiers.

Sekhmet was watching everything. He hadn't attacked yet. The girl had already taken out Cale and Dias, which surprised him. How could one girl be that strong? he wondered as she and her wolf battled against the soldiers with the Ronins and their tiger. Mia had already grabbed Yulie and was keeping him indoors. No, he dared not to attack the girl physically. He would use strategy.

He began to creep up to the nearest Ronin which was Rowen, ready to pounce on him, when suddenly something knocked to the ground. Rowen turned around when he heard a cry and scuffle. Blaze was pinning Sekhmet to the ground. He gave a sigh of relief. "Thanks, boy!"

The wolf growled at Sekhmet, his teeth sharp and deadly. Sekhmet went to kick him, but Blaze quickly avoided it. Sage took out three more soldiers. Flash kicked one behind her, then ran her sword through another, destroying it.

Sekhmet glared at her, then glanced down at the wolf. "What the-!" The wolf was snarling now, his eyes were red, foam dripped from his mouth. He glared at Sekhmet with hunger filled eyes. "Now, you're going to get it" Flash taunted

Sekhmet rolled his eyes, and drew his blades. "We'll see about that!" he retorted. "Snake Fang Strike!"

The surekill struck and the wolf had been hit, but to Sekhmet's surprise, it barely had any effect. The wolf continued to growl angrily at him. "My surekill should have destroyed this wolf!"

Flash punched another soldier out, and Cye took care of the one sneaking in from the side. "Don't you know, wolves can heal themselves!" she hollered at Sekhmet.

Now Sekhmet was angry. He threw himself into battle and immediately attacked Cye. Cye was having a much harder time because Sekhmet was so angry, and Cye's armor was not good on land. Still he wasn't about to give up. He used his Yari spear to block Sekhmet's blows, then attacked back. He used his Super Wave Smasher against his opponent, knocking him several feet backward. He then noticed that Flash was not in her armor.

Sekhmet stood up. He had also noticed that Flash was unarmored, and he wasn't about to let that go to waste. By now the other Ronins were just finishing off the rest of the Dynasty soldiers. Sekhmet stepped closer. "Good, now that you are unprotected, it's time to come and meet Master Talpa."
