Chapter 10- Heavenly Angel

Authors Note: To get the context of this chapter I drew on the character Angel Sanada. Made by a friend of mine this chara is hers. I will be putting up full stats on all the charas soon. Please be patient as this is my first serious undertaking as a writer. Hopefully with time and the necessary amount of cash I can get this saga published. Again I thank all of you who are reading this and please continue.

Angel Sanada: I know you know who the redhead is..Any Ronin fan would know.

Queen Meep: Gwennie! perches on yer head again like the ever loveable neko.

Angel, Gwen I owe ya both a good fic and I mean to keep on doing it. Now on with the Fic.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ryo stood at the door his jaw hanging. Not in a million years had he forseen this. Was it a ghost coming back to haunt him? Ryo backed away from the doorway shaking his head.

"No...it can't be..you died in the fire!"

The girl sighed. "No Ryo. I survived thanks to Kaosu-sama. He raised me and told me that one day I would meet you. For the past 3 years I have been training under a mysterious red head.

Touma gaped. "What! Shuten is alive! We saw him die!"

The girl smiled. "He was brought back then."

Ryo and Touma exchanged glances. The girl sighed. "Are you going to introduce me or not brother?"

Ryo sighed. "Touma this is Angel, my sister. Angel, meet Touma Hashiba."

Angel smiled gently. "Pleasure."

Touma smirked. "Indeed." (alright GET YER MINDS OUTA TEH GUTTER!)

Angel gazed around. "Thought more lived here..."

"Eh...there are but three of the bakas that live here are off on quests." A voice piped up.

The three turned rapidly and saw Naste. Naste winked. "Now, now Ryo I didn't know you had a sister."

Ryo sighed. "Neither did I."

Naste smiled. "Well you are welcome to stay here Angel. I'm Naste Yagyu."

Angel smiled, flustered. "So...where is my room."

Naste helped her get comfortable.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile a solitary figure stood nearby watching, long blue-black hair getting tossed by a sudden wind that came up. Milky white eyes gazed towards the manor seeing from within. This stranger had second sight.

"So the Legend Begins. Will the White Knight be able to face what is coming? Only time can tell that for sure. Awaken Hariel, Sanjuro. Your legacy begins."

Ashura watched the manor as well unaware that a powerful force stood nearby to protect what was within. His red eyes narrowed. "So Wildfire has a sibling. Interesting, but foolhardy." Ashura closed his eyes. "Tonight Wildfire you will have nightmares."

"I think not." A cold and calm voice said, tone indicating he knew the power of dreams.

Ashura started. "Who are you?"

'Someone who can play cat and mouse with the best of them. Someone to give the giver nightmares for eternity."

Ashura growled. "So you are a monk."

The blue haired figure said nothing and closed his eyes. "I am much more demon. Face me, for I am Castor. Awakened by you, I now seek retribution for the damage you caused in the Dreamscape."

Ashura laughed. "Pitiful. So the psycho has come for the psycho. This should be fun."

"Even more for me." Castor replied coldly, his milky white eyes a solid black.

Ashura was getting unnerved by this guy. So he claimed he was Castor, the legendary psycho that brought a crashing end to peace even before Ashura was born. Castor regarded the half demon with a detached curiosity as if Ashura were a piece of art.

"So you say you wish to fight the White Knight, halfbreed? Good luck. I hear that this White Knight is far more powerful than his predecessor. We will fight another time. Know this. I have another name. When you have proven yourself worthy of it, you will know it. Farewell...halfbreed."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Angel closed her eyes. This had been a really long day. First meeting Ryo, then the fact that she was the new Oni. It unnerved her completely. All she wanted to do now was sleep.

"Angel...Angel, can you hear me?"

"Who is this?" Angel was quiet wondering. The voice sounded so familiar.

"My name is Kirina. Long ago I made the blood alliance with the Hashiba Clan. I too am a Sanada, but of lesser rank than you, the direct heir and blood of Lord Hariel. Listen to me. I have little time. Come to me at the Palace Ruins. I know rumor says its haunted, but I do not blame rumor. Child, you are my heir. I have a gift. You cannot use it now, but in time you will seek me out. You are the Angelic Guardian. The Holy Armor goes to the purest of heart and that is you. Ashura comes to fight your brother. Ryo will lose."

"Lose--no!"

"Yes. He will. Do not give up hope. He is meant to lose."

"Oh."Kirina sighed gently. "I am not meant to waken yet. However, when the time comes i will and you wil get my legacy. Right now train and learn how to be a Warrior using the wisdom and strength of the Oni. He will guide you.

"Very well."

Kirina's presence faded. Angel was left confused but knew that soon she would waken. It wasn't the right time.

Meanwhile a presence stirred in the deepest reaches of space. A powerful presence. Chiron. The Guardian smiled gently. 'So I have been called.' he thought and looked at his sleeping charge. "It is time Sanjuro. Waken and go back to Earth...Your Heir needs you."


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Authors Note: It has been a while since I updated. Yes i know this one is kinda disappointing as Angel did not recieve her armor. She was not meant to...yet. I have a plan for this Chapter. It will continue, but at a later time. Keep yer eyes open for it. Also a suprise comes soon. What did Castor mean when he said he had another name? Who is this psycho? Keep yer eyes open for that as well as I continue in the next chapter, Wisdom of the Stars.

Authors Note: Never come between vengeance and a cold weapon.


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


Two weeks had passed since Masamune Date had sent out the signal to awaken the Guardians. Only one remained asleep. Hariel. The Four were hoping that Hari would awaken first then Ashura would come, but that did not happen.

Ryo paced incessantly having not been able to sleep in the past three days. The day had come and now he was waiting. Ashura failed to mention a location so Ryo waited.

Ashura smiled softly. Today would be the day he would get his vengeance. After giving a nasty look to his second in command Ashura vanished.

An increase in dark energy was felt and it was with the taint of chaos. Instead of the skies being black they were green with a tint of red. Chaos plagues rained down at the demons command infecting all who could be reached. Many grew deformed wings and tentacles started sprouting out instead of arms. Babies born on this day were born with leathery wings and tentacles for legs and arms. The few that were normal the parents were praying to the spirits of the Five Guardians and many areas of protection were erected to comabt this chaos plague. Ryo closed his eyes and withdrew the power of the Wildfire to protect him. He could feel the five armors harmonizing getting ready. It then came...

"WHITE KNIGHT! I CALL YOU OUT!"

Ryo smiled softly. 'So be it...Busso Kikoutei!" Four streams of light joined with the power of Wildfire. It was then a miracle happened. Instead of being a temporary bond the melding was permanent! Ryo closed his eyes and felt the cold vengeance of his ancestor. Hariel it semed was still a part of this armor and until Ryo saw to the vengeance of his ancestor Hariel would not wake. Now the White Knight, Ryo walked out and faced Ashura.

"Demon, I have come." The Knight replied.

Ashura smiled coldly. "So you have..."

"Let's get it on."

Ashura laughed viciously and drew the infamous Chaos Blade of the Demon of Despair. This weapon, a katana, was etched with runes of destruction and plague. The hilt held its own curse imbuing the wrong bearer with a mark unlike any had seen. This mark would then enable the Demon to track its victim and torture him slowly into madness.

The Swords of Fervor came into view and Ashura smiled. So this was the power of the general who upstaged him...

(I would write out the fight, but I cannot write fight sequences. For those who know, think of two samurai going it...example One of Kenshins fights from Ruroni Kenshin.One of those...where he is fighting someone of equal power.)

The two were now close to each other trying to push each other off. It was the Knight who succeeded in pushing off Ashura, then disarming him. Then in a moment of honor, the Knight picked up the sword...and dropped it screaming in pain! The mark had got him! Ashura laughed maliciously.

"So the Knight is laid low by the Mark of Chaos!" Laughing, Ashura picked up his sword and vanished leavinbg the Knight writhing in pain from the chaos the mark had done...Kikoutei vanished before it was affected leaving Ryo in extreme pain. So the madness of Wildfire began...

Alec watched from the roof of the manor and sighed. This was beyond anything he had felt and the Chaos Plague still raged in the city so badly, officials contained it by quarantining the entire city.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile in Mount Fuji, something stirred...


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Authors note: Kinda crappy, but its the best I can do.What is stirring in Mount Fuji? Give ya a hint...he died defying Arago. BYE!

REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW!

Chapter 14 - The Dreamwalker

Authors Note: From this point on, Ryo's Life hangs in the balance. Will he live? Will I be forced to end his life? That is up to you. Tell me what you think. Should he be the Phoenix and if so which one? He is one of the Phoenix twins...His chaos puts him as the Jet...who is the gold...


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When Alec showed up, everything they knew about Sanjuro was changed. His deameanor was that of pure evil, but he had the balance of purity to contain that evil. As they came out Alec began to chant softly.

Now that the five are awake

Evil Cometh to Fire

One answer lies in time

Fire calls to hell

But the fire belongs to heaven

Call him.

The Dreamwalker.

When you did he came

Now he stands before you.

Will you ask his help?

Is it too late?

Is Fire gone for good?

I have the answers

I am the Dreamwalker.

Sanjuro stared at Alec. "You? But can you cure him?" The four stood on either side of the Air Guardian ready to kill if Alec did anything stupid.

"Speak not the words of a fool Sanjuro. I can cure, but the cure will be harder on the cured...not the cursed."

Angel had come out and was watching. "What do you mean?"

Alec smiled gently. "She who rides on the winds, an eagle in her own right...Zephyr Gold."

The four stared having no clue what he meant. Alec chuckled. "Soon...Soon you will know."

Inside Ryo was having a very bad day. He was just coming to a clear mind only to find it invaded by evil. He sighed shaking his head trying to purify it. Nothing worked.

That was when Alec came forward. The Dreamwalker...the soul of an Ancient cursed.

Flashback

"Castor what are you doing?" A voice cried. It was Pollux. The female half of Castor. These were the feared and loved Gemini Twins, inseperable. They were in an old palace once beautiful, now being destroyed by evil forces led by a human who wanted power.

Castor turned. "You betrayed me Pollux...you led them here! Our sister is dead because of you!"

"No, you don't understand...No Castor, stop! Wait! No...Castor!"

A sword ran through Pollux and Castor had a mad gleam in his sightless eyes. Pollux staggered back hitting a wall and embedding herself there.

'I...curse you to live...Live until I am reborn and forgive you...Eldest of Kaosu's children! Aleczanderen!"

By the time Castor regained his sanity, it was too late...

End Flashback

Character Tami does not belong to me, Kudoes to her creator.

In the days since The Last guardian had woken, and the Hellfire armor had come to Ryo, A girl lay shivering in the cells of the Nether realm. Since Arago's deafeat she had seen no one but the maSho who were there to hurt her.

It was then the spirit of Shuten appeared to her and unlocked the shackles. She backed away in fright seeing the face of the Warlord of Cruelty. He said nothing for a while just gazed at her til she realized he was dead. That creeped her out even more.

'Are ...Are you here to torment me warlord?"

"No child, I am here to free you. The one You were parted from is in danger. Ryo is in mortal danger and sadly I can no longer help him. Nor can Kayura. You are the only one...Golden Zephyr, waken and go find him...he needs you."

The girl stared at Shuten. "What the.." Shuten waved a hand and the portal to the manor opened. "Through there Tami....through there you will find friends."

She nodded and ran through the portal now utterly creeped out. Shuten then closed it after she had passed though and vanished.

Tami then ran to the house seeing someone she knew....Shin. She then collpased against him shaking. he knew her instantly. "Tami!"

Alec heard this and walked out.'So she has come..get her cleaned up and a room Shin...she has much to see and most will break her heart."

Alec left after saying that and Tami was confused. Shin shook his head. "Long story."

Shin then did what he could to get her comfortable and settled. She came out in the natural gold she was hot looking in.

Alec sighed.'Golden Zephyr, waken now and relive your past with teh prince of Fire... he needs you again."

And the memories began...
