The Rise of the Guardians
By Lita Knightstar AN: I dont own the series...Kudoes go to owners of each chara. Chapter 1: Phoenix Come here and I will tell a tale filled with adventure and surprise. A story of those so brave, they gave their lives for humanity... Chapter 1- Phoenix A dreary day indeed for the young MaSho named Hariel Yotomia. He stood at his post as usual outside the audience chamber of his lord and master Arago Talpa. He sighed softly and sifted slightly, the armor clanking slightly with every move. Slender twin katanas were held loosely in his hands and he looked about. Six days had passed since the Dynasty forces marched from the citadel in the exact center of the Dynasty. Hariel looked about and gritted his teeth as another sandstorm blew up rather violently, the dust particles stinging his face. Hari muttered a curse and readjusted the facemask of his great helm. A figure in dark blue armor stumbled up to him. “Commander this is madness!” he cried, his voice faintly heard over the storm. “We need to find shelter for all the horses, this storm doesn’t look like it’s about to end anytime soon!” “Secure a shelter then!” Hari replied and nodded. “I will help!” “Sir! You are on guard duty to the Emperor!” “He is capable enough to defend himself. Without mounts our speed to conquer the north will be crippled! I am sure he will understand!” The figure in blue nodded and Hari ducked his head in to his Master’s tent. “Master, I will go help secure shelter for the horses; this storm is too much for them.” Talpa looked at him narrowly and then waved him off with a nod. Hariel sighed and went back out into the storm. He slowly made his way to the makeshift stables and helped make them stronger, by shoring them up with every spare bit of wood he could find. The figure in blue watched Hariel work for a bit and marveled at he First Division commander’s skills in carpentry. Hariel simply smiled and then looked back at the other. “Second Division Commander, get some linen to block the dust coming into the stables. Make sure it is breathable for 15 horses!” Hariel said stiffly and then sighed. Though he was a MaSho, he enjoyed working with animals and taking care of them was his way of blowing off steam. He smiled softly as his companion came back with the linen. “Now what!” he cried. Hariel went over to him and smiled taking it. “Get to shelter...I will take care of it.” Hariel said his eyes gentle under the mask. “Sanji, I’ll be with you presently.” Sanji smiled faintly as he left for shelter. Hari sighed and put up the cloth barrier struggling with the wind. “Blasted wind! He muttered and finally got up the cloth barrier. He worked his way back to the camp...or tried to. The storm had grown worse to the point where he could not even see. “Sanji!” he yelled. His voice died in the wind. Hari looked back but could not see the stables at all. “Damn...is this my fate! I refuse to die in this storm!” he said to himself and then saw it. That white armor appeared to him again and beckoned him to follow. Hari stared dumbly at it and then shrugged. The White armor led him to a nearby cave. He sighed and stripped off his helm blinking several times. There was another there...a red and gold armor with fiery wings. It looked at Hari, screeched and vanished. Hari started and looked at the White Armor which had stood there. “Kikoutei...what are you telling me...are you showing me my path?” The armor drew a sword and pointed it at Hari and then drew the other and pointed to where the other armor was. Hari blinked. A gentle voice was then heard from the Armor. “To get Phoenix, one must pass through the trial of Inferno. One must bear Kikoutei and die.” Hari stared. “So what you are saying is I must die to get that red and gold armor?” Kikoutei just stared at him silently. Hariel knelt. “Show me the true path of Virtue, Kikoutei. Show me the Light of Reason.” Kikoutei stared at him and then placed a gauntleted and on the head of the young Commander. What it showed Hari burned into his mind. Slavery and torment, the burning of innocent people, the murder of thousands. And all the while the red standard of Arago Talpa flapping. The hand was removed and Hari looked up at him. “I accept my destiny and will die for the sake of defending others, the true purpose of virtue. Kikoutei let me bear you and use your power to destroy Talpa!” Kikoutei burst into a flurry of Sakura petals and reformed on Hariel, the black sub armor forming first then the white plates. Hari smiled and stepped out of the cave. The storm had died down and he was overlooking the Camp. The other four leaders ran to him worried. "Commander, we were worried sick!” Sanji said sharply and then gasped. ‘Kikoutei! Hariel bears the sacred armor of eternal flame!” The other three cheered and stood behind him. The Five divisions looked up and knelt immediately to their commanders. ‘Talpa Arago! I am the bearer of Kikoutei! I hereby renounce my title as Death Knight of the Dynasty and choose the light and path of flame! Sacred Kikoutei, guide me to the path of the Phoenix and show the trial of Inferno! Phoenix, guardian of the flames of Earth, I take you as my guardian and will be your knight!” Talpa rushed out of his tent and stared balefully at Hariel and the other four commanders. The Five Divisions were already assembled behind them, each division behind its commander. “Hariel, so you have betrayed me!” ‘No demon! I have chosen what the correct path of Virtue is. Your lies and deceit befit you as I can now safely tell the Five Divisions your true plan!” Hari snapped. “Five Divisions, Talpa plans on using us as pawns to take over the Nether Realm. After he is done, he plans on sacrificing your High Commander to his Dark Gods to gain more power to take on the Mortal World!” The four commanders stared at him and Hari drew the Soul Swords from their sheaths on his back. “Demon, today you will pay!” Hari cried out and leaped from the rocks to the dust blown ground. Talpa was enraged and drew his own sword, a deadly blade of evil. The two battled for hours on end, and each time it seemed that Hari was getting the upper hand of the Demon Lord. Suddenly it happened. Hari moved to leap back and Talpa saw the opening. The evil sword was thrust and everything froze for a second to Hariel. The sword was then yanked out and Hariel dropped to his knees. “Phoenix, my trial of Inferno, I call you. Guardian Phoenix, show me my destiny!” Hariel cried out blood spewing from his abdomen and he fell over, dying rapidly. “Talpa, you won this fight, but let it be known that only one of true virtue can ever wear this armor. I have cursed it so.” Talpa cursed, and slashed Hariel’s throat. At that moment Hariel’s body lost life and a screech was heard. A scarlet bird landed nearby and burst into flame. The flames hit the White Armor and a huge wave of flame came over Hariel’s body. It burned rapidly to ashes and the ashes themselves sank into the hard ground. The four commanders then fled to the Mortal realm taking their troops with them. Talpa was furious. Not only had Hariel died, but the Legendary Kikoutei was gone. Hariel had effectively crippled the Dynasty at his death, for after that, nobody fought for the Dynasty for three generations.

Chapter 2: Chiron Three years had passed since the fall of Hariel Yotomia. Sanjuro and the others now stayed in a small town they and their troops had created. The standard of the First Division, the Eternal Flame was the town symbol. Sanjuro was appointed to be leader after Hariel’s death and for those three years he ruled fairly. Every year on the day of the White Knight’s death, that town came to a grinding halt in honor of that fated moment and Hariel’s final words were uttered once more. Sanji then placed a single white flower on the erected memorial. Ramzal placed a white quartz stone and Reinhardt placed a piece of white coral. A prayer was then said in honor of Hariel and the town mourned. A monk watched from a nearby cliff top, his face calm and devoid of emotion. He sighed and threw the staff to make it land right in front of the memorial. A bright light issued from it and the monk quickly made his way to the memorial so it appeared he was standing there. (Sorry guys, Kaosu’s powers will be revealed shortly.) The light died down. “Sanjuro Hashiba, your clan seeks you out. Ramzal Fuan, return to China. Reinhardt Mouri, return to Hagi Sea.” He said flatly. Sanji was taken aback. “Why would the Hashiba, Mouri and Fuan clans want their outcasts back?” he snapped. “You dare to interrupt our day of mourning for the White Knight...” Kaosu sighed. “Only to tell you what he meant by the Trial of Inferno.” He said softly. “Hariel has become the legendary Phoenix, but he sleeps now, not to be woken until a descendant wakes him. All of you will undergo the same type of trial but each to his element. Masamune, who had merely watched and not yet placed his own memorial, stepped forward and placed a white dagger upon the memorial. Kaosu turned to him. “You alone will be the last to undergo his trial, but yours will be of faith...you will be the only one who will remember my words and faithfully record them, sword maker. Go to Kyoto...Your clan waits for you.” Masamune shrugged and bowed. “If everything you said is true monk, then why not reveal your name to us.” Kaosu sighed. “I am simply called the Ancient. My name is not important anymore, for my destiny lies in facing the ultimate evil and winning.” “You mean dying.” Sanji said shortly. “Talpa is not one to mess with.” Kaosu let out a short laugh. “Child, I am far beyond your level. I was born at the dawn of time. You see....it was I who forged Kikoutei.” Sanji gasped and Kaosu smiled simply. “I found the Phoenix and from his feathers came the Phoenix Armor, which Hariel saw in the sandstorm. Only I can face Talpa and win, and I shall, using this.” He revealed a rather large ruby in the shape of a tear. “A gift from Essah, a Kai’ei I know you are familiar with.” “It’s a jewel! How can you...” “Simple, master archer. I have infused it with holy powers. My light is stronger than his darkness.” Kaosu smiled thinly, and changed to a golden armor and the staff he held changed to a sword. “I go to face evil. Nobody must know. I am simply a monk who faces a demon and slays him.” Sanji shrugged and watched him go. Masamune was silent, Ramzal was furious, and Reinhardt was trying to calm his friend down. “Well...can’t expect him to beat Talpa, so let’s get going....I want to move this place and not be found again.” Sanji said simply. The other four agreed and the town was moved to a place 30 miles south of its present location. For thirty days they lived in peace until a new traveler came into town. He had gold eyes. Sanjuro went out to meet him. “Yes, what is it stranger...” Sanji said impatient. The traveler simply smiled. The gold eyes hinting at pure evil. “You will die now, Sanjuro Hashiba, traitor of Master Talpa!” Sanji laughed shortly and closed his eyes. “Hear me now, wise Chiron, master archer and teacher of heroes. If I die, infuse me with your powers and make me a guardian!” Sanji said his eyes soft still. He then turned to get the long bow he had used since he had become a warrior and the traveler stuck using a deadly poisoned blade. Sanji cried out, his face contorted in pain. A blue light of the heavens came and swept him away in a bubble leaving only a faint bloodstain for the remaining three to find. It was three weeks before the murder of Sanjuro Hashiba was discovered. His body was never found. As Kaosu had predicted, Sanjuro had undergone the trial of Intellect, plus Talpa had been killed by an unnamed monk, which the remaining three knew was Kaosu. Reinhardt felt he was next.

The Rise of the Guardians
Chapter 3- The Call of Poseidon Reinhardt was locked in his room for weeks, refusing to believe that now Sanji was dead. After their entire ordeal of escaping Talpa’s clutches, setting up a village for the survivors of the Five Legions, three Legion commanders were left to fend for the village. Reinhardt couldn’t even eat thinking that Sanji was dead. Fear gripped his mind in the oddest of ways. The Sea called to him. Barely a month after Sanjuro vanished; a bright star was seen shooting above the village, dark blue in color. The villagers took it as a bad omen but the legion commanders knew. Sanji was checking up on them from his high vantage point. Reinhardt couldn’t help but smile some. The call of the sea grew stronger in his mind daily and soon he was taking walks along the lake shore where their village was located looking out towards the other side where the ocean fed the lake. Ramzal found him there one of those days and placed a gentle yet firm hand on his shoulder. “What do you feel, friend?” Ramzal asked, his tone indicating he was confused. Reinhardt could only smile and look out toward the ocean. “The time comes for us all. The monk was right...Sanji was called to space by his element, Air. I will soon be called to the deepest of seas by my clan guardian.” “Not Poseidon....” Ramzal said softly, his clan having the legendary Titan as its guardian. “Then if you are to be called, so am I... and Masa will be alone.” “Nay, not alone, for Raicho, the Thunderbird of the Date Clan watches over him.” Reinhardt prided himself on the knowledge of the five clans that were chosen by these legendary beings. It was said that when these clans came into being, five guardians of untold power came forth and offered to guard them for eternity. The Sanada Clan got the Phoenix, the Immortal bird of Eternal Flame; the Hashiba Clan got the Teacher of Heroes and Lore Master Chiron; The Mouri’s were granted Poseidon, the moody yet reclusive God of the Seas; and The Fuan’s were granted Titan, a legendary summon of great strength. Each one had its own ability in elemental power.(Armors will be explained at a later date) Ramzal could only watch as his friend grew more and more distant from him, taking to walking along the lake shore or even swimming. Reinhardt was getting more and more into his element daily as there was nothing the Earth Commander could do. Masamune watched sadly. The monk’s vision was coming true before his own eyes as well, for he was keeping a daily log of what happened. The sword maker, now turned record keeper took down these things daily, first the deaths of Hariel and Sanji and now the distancing of Ramzal and Reinhardt. He sighed and went back to his craft, creating a legendary sword for his descendants to wield. It would be named after him. The blade itself was to be thin, long and extra sharp. The hilt was to be inscribed with ancient symbols and runes to protect against rusting and dulling. He smiled and held up the long thin piece of metal he was to begin with and started crafting the sword. Reinhardt swam daily feeling the pull of the sea ever demanding. Every day he resisted, and every day it grew stronger. Poseidon wanted him now and there would be no turning back once he began the long, dangerous journey to the Marianas Trench. Ramzal watched sadly, as the two inseparable friends grew more distant to each other. It wasn’t that he hated Reinhardt, but that Poseidon was destroying what he had left to live with. Now he was being taken away. Soon that day came and Reinhardt got up one morning after having a very disturbing vision. Torrents of rain were pelting on him and he was being pulled under...drowning. He woke with a start. “No!” He cried out, his heart pounding in fear. Ramzal rushed to his room. “Reinhardt! You alright buddy?” Ramzal asked concerned. Reinhardt could only smile sadly as his heart was once more pulled towards the sea. “I am sorry...I cannot delay any longer. Tell Masa that this day, Reinhardt Mouri is no more.” Reinhardt quickly gathered up his meager belongings and left. So? How you like? Interesting? Needs Work? Let me know. Kinda sad though....this one I would rate as a tearjerker. Sad... Anyway, feel free to comment...no flames.

The Rise of the Guardians
Chapter 4- Titan Four weeks now had passed since Reinhardt had vanished into the ocean. Ramzal was one of the two left to guard the now thriving village. He remembered Reinhardt’s soft words. “Poseidon calls me.” It tore him apart. The inseparable two had parted once more. He had to head to China. Masamune stared at Ramzal, knowing the path. He shook his head and faithfully recorded everything just as Kaosu had foretold. Soon Ramzal left for China. Ramzal enjoyed his trip there, he had time to put to use his staff which he had cleverly made into a two handed nunchaku. Thugs had taken over a caravan traveling from India to China and he leapt into the fray. A thug looked at him. ‘Just who are you punk?” he said, speaking Chinese. Ramzal glared at him. “Your Doomsman if you hurt them.” He said pointing to the people shaking in fear. The thug laughed and grabbed a young woman ripping her sarong off. Ramzal was infuriated. “You just messed with Justice pal.” Ramzal said softly twirling the heavy staff. The thug just laughed and made to violate the girl, but was stopped when Ramzal knocked him out cold with a swift hit of the staff to the head. He then handed he girl her sarong back and smiled gently. She stammered a thank you in her language but Ramzal held up his hand showing he did it of his own will. The other caravan members stared at the Chinese warrior. He bowed to them and was on his way. They watched him leave and offered prayers of thanks to their god for sending such a hero to their rescue. Soon Ramzal was in the capital once more. He glared about and sighed. “Nothing has changed...” he said bitterly walking to the compound where his family was. A few looked at him and he glared fiercely back. ‘Palace Guards...’ he thought. ‘Never give anyone a moment of peace.’ Ramzal was furious. He went to the heavy gates of the compound and knocked on the door rather loudly. A messenger came out. “Yes?” he asked his voice rather irritable. ‘Is that how you welcome home a warrior, messenger!” Ramzal asked his voice resounding with anger. “Move aside.” The messenger looked up at Ramzal. “Just who are you?” “I am Ramzal Fuan of the Earth Division! Now move!” The messenger looked at him and bowed clumsily but Ramzal swept past him, his face grim. He saw his family having tea. “Well, I am home.” He said shortly and they looked up. “Just like the wandering Monk said.” His father, a balding man named Asuyo, stared at him. “Ramzal...you died...” ‘Wrong father...Hariel, Sanjuro, and Reinhardt died! I have yet to die and be reborn as the sacred Titan!” Asuyo stared at him. “That is mere legend!” he scoffed. “Mere fantasy!” “If so... then why did Hariel call out to the Phoenix? Why was Sanjuro taken into space? Finally, why did Poseidon call my best friend?” Asuyo stared at Ramzal and saw it...the shining symbol of justice, the clan guardian mark. “If so...your heart will tell you when you are called. If our legend is real, you will die within a week.” Ramzal nodded grimly. ‘Better get a priest then.” He said stiffly. “I accept my fate.” Ramzal’s mother started crying. Ramzal stared at her for a second and then hugged her. “It is alright...mother...the monk foretold this...” She nodded softly. Soon a priest came, an old man in white robes carrying a familiar golden staff. Ramzal was taken aback. “So you have chosen my offer.” The priest said to Ramzal. “Good.” Ramzal stared. “It’s you...Kaosu...you look like hell.” Kaosu chuckled. ‘I aged myself, to make the sacred armors you and your friend’s descendants will wear. It came from Talpa’s evil armor, but I have contained that evil by nine sacred values.” Ramzal nodded softly. “Well, lets get this over with.” Kaosu nodded and administered last rites to Ramzal. Ramzal smiled and then grabbed the staff from the ground where he had dropped it in shock. ‘ Well, if this is my path, then the strength of Justice calls.” Ramzal said, walking out. Kaosu watched Ramzal leave. “So it has gone as I have foretold. Soon born to this family will be the reincarnation of Ramzal, a boy named Kento. Make sure he is aware of his destiny...I am counting on you to tell him.” He said to a little boy. “You are his grandfather.” Kaosu said and vanished.

Chapter 5- Angel Kaosu then made his way to the ruins of a small village north of the city where a girl awaited him. She bowed respectfully as he approached. He smiled softly. “Kirina...” he said. “How fares you this day?” She smiled gently. “Everything fares well indeed father.” She replied softly. Kaosu smiled and remembered the day she was found to bear a secret armor... an armor so pure it was said to be wrought from the powers of the heavens. flashback “Run!” A frightened villager screamed, but her voice was cut off by a cruel blade. He smiled wickedly. “Monk!” He cried his voice carrying to the Village leaders’ home. ‘Come out or I will destroy everything." Kaosu then came out of his hut. “Demon, go away. The Angel is not here!” he snapped irritably. Talpa laughed, but then turned his attention to a girl as she came out in a pure white Armor. The gold trim was set off by the red tipped wings. She brandished a sacred blade. “Demon better run before I get nasty!” she warned her eyes glowing white. Talpa sneered. “Foolish girl, you better run before I cut you down to size!” “Demon, get off your high horse. You know I can easily beat your a** into the ground.” Talpa was intrigued as she focused her energies into a single focused attack. The skies of heaven split open as a light seemed to come down and shoot into her body. “Powers of Heaven reveal the deception! Angel True Form!” she cried and seemed to explode with light. She narrowed her eyes as the armor reformed on a spirit. She no longer had a corporeal (real) body. Kaosu smiled. “I lied.” He said flatly and powered her sword up with a blast of golden light from the staff. The Angel nodded and looked at Talpa. “Demon, like I said...run...or be well done.” (AN: HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE!) Talpa just vanished and the Angel smiled shifting back to her human form and collapsing. end flashback Now it was time for her to choose. Kaosu nodded. ‘You must choose now. I put you in stasis to await the Time of Awakening, or you die. Kirina stared at him and knew he was serious. “I choose sleep over eternal death...I will wait.” Kaosu smiled. “Excellent.” He said softly and a golden light came over him and he shot abeam at her causing her fall into a coma. He picked her up and put her in the Temple of Heavens to await her Time of Awakening.

The Rise of the Guardians
Chapter 6- The Awakening New Character: Ashura- Son of Talpa who seeks vengeance against Ryo alone. The time had come. It was now six years after the defeat of Talpa and the MaSho were free. Anubis had passed from this world due to his ultimate sacrifice. Kayura now led the Ronins as the new Ancient. The Ronins had parted from each other and gone back to their families. All but Ryo, who had no one to go home to. Ryo wandered the Manor, now marveling at the silence that was once a bustling place. He shook his head. All that was now in the Manor was the MaSho, Mia, Kayura and Ryo. Ryo grew bored and wanted to go to his home in the mountains, but knew his clan would reject him. Meanwhile, in the Youjakai, a new force was rising unbeknownst to Kayura. Half Demon he was, but also half human. His name was Ashura, the Son of Talpa and a human woman. A cruel smile crossed his lips and he glared maliciously at the image of the Manor. “You say Wildfire killed my father?” Ashura asked coldly. A servant bowed. “Yes, Mi’lord. Wildfire killed Master Arago.” “Very well. You may go.” Ashura replied. He smiled coldly. Wildfire was going to die. A few days later Ryo walked down the lake path. The sun was shining brightly on this day and the lake sparkled. Suddenly skies darkened and an evil aura spilled into the area and Ryo tensed. It was the unmistakable aura of Talpa’s Empire. Ryo sighed with annoyance as a single tin can appeared once more. “Can’t you guys ever come up with something more original?” A cold laugh came from the tin can. “I thought you would recognize this...however I am not just some lackey of the Dynasty.” Ryo smirked. “Yeah and I am a Christmas elf. Show yourself.” The soldier laughed meanly and the grey armor vanished to reveal a dark haired man with red eyes. He wore a black armor that was trimmed with blood red cloth. The symbol engraved upon the breast plate was a blood red skull with the standard of Arago Talpa below it. Ryo raised an eyebrow. “What is that supposed to impress me?” The demon laughed. “Just what I expected out of the one who slew my father. I am Ashura, Demon of Chaos and Despair.” Ryo shrugged. “Like I care. Now you obviously came here for a reason. Get to the point.” Ashura stared at Ryo. Ryo wasn’t like most humans. He saw a coldness that gave him chills. “My point is this. I will fight you and you alone. However, not as this. I will face the White Knight in two weeks. Farewell.” Ryo watched Ashura vanish and sighed turning his back on the retreating clouds. Kayura soon came out of the Manor and saw the look on Ryo’s face. She knew. Another figure watched silently. He lowered his eyes. The time had come. “Hear me now, sacred guardians of the Elements. I call you forth to come and protect your descendants. Phoenix, Chiron, Raicho, Poseidon, and Titan I call you now, Waken!” A golden light shot from his body and went to five different locations. In each one a warrior stirred... _____________________________________________________________ Authors Note: More to come! What’s the deal with Ashura? Why does he seek to fight Ryo alone? Is Talpa’s death the center of it all or is there more to this than what was revealed? Stick around for more!

The Rise of the Guardians
By Lita Knightstar and Stargazer86
Chapter 7- Titan Wakens In the space of fifteen minutes a bolt of light shot towards Mount Daisetsu. Village locals knew this was coming by the legend of the Titan Warrior within. A rumble occurred then silence. Locals were alarmed. If this was Titan, where was he, where was the famed warrior to free him? Inside the mountain Ramzal was waking. He felt his heart beat within and opened his eyes. He was sitting on what seemed to be a stone throne, covered with protective symbols. He smiled gently thinking. A voice was in his mind. Raicho. “Titan, hear me. The Warrior Wildfire is in danger. I know this is not your charge, but the Phoenix has not woken. I am sending the warrior Kongo to you.” Ramzal smiled gently. At last his family had produced the bearer of Kongo. His features were set though in a grim line. Wildfire was the armor of the Sanada Clan, his best friend Hariel’s. Shu Rei Fuan was at the Manor at Jewel Lake, when a mysterious voice came through the armor link. It was neither Kaosu or Shuten, but someone else. “Hear me, Warrior Kongo. I am Raicho, Thunderbird of the Date Clan. This may seem off that I am contacting you, but you need to travel back to Mount Daisetsu. There a guardian lies waiting for you.” Shu was completely confused. A guardian? “Raicho, What guardian?” “Simple. The guardian of your clan, the warrior of Titan. He waits for you. “I will go.” “Thank you. He is my friend and I miss him dearly.” Shu nodded absently and walked downstairs where the other Troopers were lounging around. “Seiji, your Clan Guardian contacted me.” “He what!” “I said, he just contacted me over the Armor Link.” Seiji sighed. “This was bound to happen one of these days. Ashura with his threat of death has alarmed Raicho. He sent the Awakening call. Expect a contact from him…all of you.” Ryo sighed, his eye twitching. “Ashura wants me dead…we have two weeks, then he will come back to face the White Knight.” “And the White Knight will die.” At that simple phrase, everyone shot to an upright sitting position. Who was this? “Be not afraid. I am Titan. I meant simply this: When Hariel faced his fears, he immolated and became the Phoenix Guardian. Alas he will not waken in time. The five of you must become one. That is the only way to hold off Ashura’s deadly chaos. Kongo, you must come to me. Free me!” With that final plea the voice faded. The team looked at each other in shock. Naste gasped and immediately went to her computer pulling up something with a cry. “Troopers! Look I have found them in Grandfather’s files!” At that, they all crowded around her. Naste read carefully, only beginning to learn how to read the code as it was printed on the screen. “When Chaos comes, the Guardian of the Light will waken fully and realize the time has come. At that, he will send the signal of awakening much like Kaosu did for the Troopers. Titan will wake first, followed by Poseidon. Chiron and Phoenix will waken last as they have to reform their bodies.” Naste looked at the Troopers. “Each of your clans is protected by an ancient being of great power correct?” They all nodded. Jun looked on awed. Naste smiled. “They are waking because one of the five clans heirs is in danger. These guardians will not stand by idly and watch as one of their friends are destroyed.” Ryo smiled softly. “Ashura has a fight ahead of him and if I must follow in the path of the Phoenix I will. Phoenix you hear that! Guide me, your White Knight, on the path of Virtue!” A cry of immense power was heard as the cry gave anyone who heard it a boost of confidence. Shu smiled. ‘Well, if that is that, I must go free my Guardian. He’s stuck.” The other four smiled impishly. Shu headed off. Days layer he arrived at Daisetsu. The locals were praying at the mountain’s base and Shu walked up calmly. “Elder! I am here to free my ancestor! Busso! Kongo!” A blast of orange light shot from the young warrior as the locals turned in amazement. What they saw was not an incompetent youth, but a battle hardened warrior who had seen loss and victory. They cheered as Shu strode up to the mountainside. “Titan! I am here!” Kongo cried striking the base with his weapon. The mountain rumbled in reply. In his head Shu heard a voice. ‘Hear me well, my child. Concentrate hard. You must strike at the same time I do. Only then can you free me. I will perform the Titan Fist. You do your attack as well.” ‘The Crusher?” “Hai.” “Yes Ancestor.” ‘So you have figured me out.” “Hai, it was Natsui Yaygu that did.” “Ah.” Of course Ramzal was clueless, but acted like he knew. “Ancestor are you ready?” “Hai.” Shu stepped back and motioned the locals back. He smiled thinking that this would probably bury the town. “Everyone, take what you can and get out of here. I am about to bring down a good portion of this mountain. The villagers nodded and fled quickly taking only what they could carry. It was very little. Shu twirled his staff several times and focused while doing it. Titan felt the power build and built his right alongside it. As the two grew in strength, the earth began to tremble. Faraway the other Troopers could feel the power build up. They looked at each other and nodded. They knew this was coming. With a cry, Shu brought down his staff while calling out his kill. He smiled softly, as a crack was seen. A faint cry was then heard as the Fist of Titan brought a huge hole into bear, at eye level with Shu. The fist withdrew and inside was an ornately dressed Samurai. He was in an armor that no on had seen before. It literally looked like Earth had made her own rock armor and placed it on this man. The Guardian came out and stretched. “At last, I am free. Thank you.” Shu could only gape. Ramzal looked just like him! What the! Ramzal chuckled. “Ah, little Warrior, my appearance has you boggled. I suppose that would explain it. Oh well, you hungry?” At the word hungry, Shu’s eyes lit up. “Come on! I know just the place!” Shu powered down to civilian gear and sighed. “Mama’s gonna throw a fit!” Ramzal laughed and powered down to a dusky orange yukata. He had a gold headband on his brow and Shu grinned. ‘Come on! My van is this way!” Ramzal was flabbergasted but followed. An hour later they arrived at the restaurant. Shu pulled his Guardian inside and toward the back. The patrons looked at he elderly copy of the favorite son of the Fuan Clan and shrugged. Ramzal smiled blandly and followed without a word. Mama was busy screaming at the hired help when Shu came in. “Mama! Look! Titan!” Mama Fuan turned around and shrieked. She hugged Ramzal with joy. Ramzal took it all in stride smiling some. “Papa! Ramzal-sama is awake!” Papa Fuan came rushing in and bowed to the Guardian. Ramzal bowed back formally. Grandfather came in to see what the ruckus was and nearly had a stroke. “Grandfather..” the elderly man said. Ramzal jumped. “Akiko!” The two hugged gently. Ramzal had a tear in his eye as he held his grandson. (Kinda confusing eh? Good.) Grandfather Akiko smiled gently. “The Legend was passed down as I was bid to. When Shu was born I knew he was destined to wake you.” Ramzal smiled. “Rest now Akiko. The strain is not good on you. I can feel you weaken.” “Ah, age does that to a body, Guardian.” Ramzal smiled bitterly. “Only to those who don’t have their lives cut short, Akiko.” Akiko smiled and closed his eyes. Ramzal closed his eyes and felt for a heartbeat. There was one. He picked up the elderly man and carried him to bed, tucking him in as he did in his youth. When Ramzal came down he looked at Shu. ‘Shu, we cannot stay. With the appearance of Ashura and his attack in less than two weeks we need to get back to the Manor. The others must take up their quest. I fear for your friend Shin. He has to face the treachery of the seas.” Shu nodded and was worried. ‘Will Shin be alright?” “Yes, if he follows the path of Poseidon.” Shu nodded and the two headed off. Mama watched them go, knowing that Shu might die. That disturbed her, but even more that Ramzal was awake. This was serious. Sorry guys! I had some other work to do and more. I did not mean to keep you waiting this long for Chapter 7. I am sure getting a real life first is much more important. Anyways keep reading and Enjoy Chapter 7. Next: Will Shin find Poseidon or die trying? Find out in Chapter 8: Poseidon Wakens

The Rise of the Guardians
Chapter 8 part 1- Poseidon Surfaces A/N: After a long and harrowing while, I have finally gotten around to doing this fic again. With all the groups I am in, I am glad my brain is still attached. laughs Anyways I want to thank my two loyal readers, Hikaru1617 and Queen Meep, whom I known as Gwen. HAHAHA! perches on Gwen's head again. Anyway I hope you like this next chapter. I know I called it Poseidon Wakens but Posedon Surfaces sounds much better...nods some. Anyways on with the Insanity! evil giggle Oh yes. This one is rated W for wierd. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 8- Poseidon Surfaces As the Ronins were well aware that Titan had been freed, Shin knew he was next to free his. He knew not where to start. Reinhardt Mouri had last been seen walking into the ocean and vanishing beneath the waves. Much like Atlantis, Shin thought bitterly. However he did not know there was someone listening to his thoughts. / Aye, but I am not dead./
/Who is this/
/Poseidon./
/Myth./
/Really/
/Yes. Now get out of my mind./ Shin thought irritably. The voice did not go away. /But why/
/Cause you are annoying./
/Annoying! Hmph/At that the voice left, leaving Shin feeling as if he offended a god. Then again the gloomy water warrior didn't care until he got nailed in the face with water from the lake. Shin spluttered and looked around wildly. Somewhow while he was thinking he had wandered to the dock that was at the lake and had been splashed.What the hell? Shin dove into the lake, but there was no one there only a gentle voice again. That same infuriatingly gentle voice. /There you are./ Reinhardt said softly / Who are you/
/Who am I? Good question. Who are you/
/Bloody hell!/
/Hell is not bloody./
/What the-/
/Calm down before you drown. Now listen up. I am here. I need you to do me a favor./
/What is that, you sodding-/
/Shut up. I want you to free me./
/Why/
/I'm stuck./Shin raised an eyebrow. This was new. /You are what/ /I'm stuck./
/You know...this is kind of funny./
/Funny? I will show you funny you useless--/
/Calm yer butt down. I am coming./With that, Shin left for the Hagi Sea. What he found there was another entirely different test. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A/N: So this is part one...I know its short...Don't scream at me please! Review Review Review or I will not finish it!

Chapter 8- Part 2
Trials of Torrent
When Shin arrived at the Hagi Sea, the seas were already rough for unexplained reasons. Newscasters called it a an underwater quake. Shin knew better as he stood on the shoreline. He knew who it was. State police, trying to keep back the crowds saw Shin. One officer roughly grabbed his arm. Shin shook it off irritable. The officer sighed and spoke gently.
'Son, come with me, you can't be here."
"You have no idea." Shin said softly. He then called on his armor. "This is why."
The officer, stunned, watched him dive into the water. Miraculously the waters calmed. "Demon..." the officer thought as he left. "A demon."
Little did that officer know.
Again that same gentle voice echoed in Shin's mind.
/So I have you to thank for releasing me.../
/Hn./
/Cold shoulder...fine. Drown for all I care./
At that moment the Torrent armor vanished! Shin struggled to breathe without it and then remembered.
To get Poseidon, Torrent must fade back into legend. Shin calmed and looked around. His vision started to black out at the edge of his peripheral vision. That was when the orca Shin knew so well came. She guided him to a grotto where there was an air pocket. Shin burst into the pocket of air underwater and found himself in complete darkness and alone. The Orca had left. Shin reached out with his mind and felt a strong energy nearby.
/ Is that you/
/Maybe../
/Ok now what are you mad at/ Shin asked.
/You ignored me./
/Well I am sorry./
Reinhardt laughed to himself and sighed. /Yes, it is me, but to get to me, you must pass through a trial. As you did without Torrent getting here, you must do so again. Swim down to me without it and I will grant you this armor./
Shin stared into the black waters. /Where are we.../
/The lowest point on Earth./
/WHAT! I will die/
/Precisely, but be reborn. Swim to me...now/
Shin shrugged as the voice cut off. He dove in. The water surrounded him and still he swan ever downwards, hjis path guided by a blue light. His vision started to fail him again as it got blurry. He shook his head and fought on towards the sphere of air. Right before he touched it, he passed out. The motions made by frantic swimming carried him through it. Reinhardt touched him softly. Shin was dying from too much carbon dioxide in his system. Carefully Reinhardt acclimated him to this low oxygen enviornment. Shin woke, a little groggy.
"Where am I?"
"My resting place. Now yours."
Shin smiled shaky. Reinhardt looked much like Shin except his had dark brown hair. Shin bowed awkwardly and Reinhardt smiled. "No go Poseidon...Titan awaits you. If you see Ramzal, tell him I am ok."
Shin nodded, focused and the Deep turquoise armor formed on him. Shin then vanished through the bubble and shot up to the surface amazed at the speed this armor had in water. By the time he had gotten to the surface only two waited for him...Shu and his guardian.
"So how is the old water baby?"
"He says to tell you he is ok...not sure what he means."
"His way of saying get me outa here. Don't worry though, you have freed him."
"Ok...that was a trip I did not relish. I imagine he is swimming up now."
'Alright. I will wait for him..you two head back." Ramzal said gently, but his voice gave no room for argument. Shu and Shin them made thier way back to the manor as Reinhardt broke the surface, and treaded water.
"Ramzal! There you are! Any word from the others?"
Ramzal slowly lowered his eyes. Reinhardt shrugged. "Oh well, when its their turn they will seek us. No way we can get around that."
"Yeah..it just hurts though..."
"Time...give it time and we will see Hari-san again...He did promise."
"Yeah..let's go..the kids are waiting."
By that time reinhardt had come ashore and the two hugged hard. So like brother they were, they acted like it. The two Guardians then made their way to Shu's van.
Author's Note: After much revising and thinking, I came up with this. It may not be long, but its worth my time. Next Chapter- Will Masa reveal who he is to Seiji? And who is this mysterious girl...she claims to be a sibling of Ryo's! Is she? Find out when i update.

Chapter 9- Raicho's Truth and a New Ronin Revealed Authors Note: Rated for language!While the new Titan and Poseidon were on their way to the Manor, Seiji was having a hard time dealing with the fact that his grandfather was a legend. So much so that he abruptly left the manor to confront him. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- At the same time though a girl was busy fending off Nether Realm footsoldiers on her own and doing a rather good job of it. No one knew who she was, but the ice blue eyes and violet streaked black hair gave a semblance of an amazon of Greek Mythology. A pair of custom made sais flicked in and out, as the soldiers went down. After the maelstrom, she left without a word to the stunned residents that were watching. Nearby a red haired figure watching smiled approvingly. "Good, my Oni, soon you will answer the call of destiny." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now in Kyoto, Seiji calmed himself down then entered the house. Satsuki was helping mother with dinner and both saw the young warrior enter. "Seiji, whats wrong?" Satsuki asked, looking concerned. In response, Seiji said nothing but this: "The Guardians are awake. If I am truly the heir then where is Raicho? Poseidon and Titan are awake. Ashura has given the death challenge to my friend Ryo. I will not stand idly by and watch as Ashura destroys every last vestige of hope we have." "Well said, for if you truly wish to become Raicho, you must not be the idle one. You must be the one to face death and smile. That is the legacy that you are inheriting. Not this land, the dojo or this house...but the sacred responsibility of the clan. If you truly wish to take the path of absolute truth, then stand before me." Masamune said standing at the doorway of the dojo. "Pledge the same thing I did to the Ancient and you will have taken the first step." Seiji glared. "The first step? Great-Grandfather, first off, how did you know, secondly what pledge?" Masamune smiled gently. "Swear that you are the life giver, and that taking life is a necessary evil." "I do so swear." Seiji replied flatly. "You are the light and peace of this world, and the call that unites five souls. When necessary, will you make the call to save humanity?" Seiji gave a 'no s**t' look and sighed. "What do you think?" Masamune chuckled. "I take that as you meaning yes?" "Of course. I am a Ronin." "That means nothing. You are on your way to becoming a Guardian. Korin will pass to a new Generation. Now, finally, do you swear that when the time comes you will faithfully record all the events of history, be the first to waken, last to sleep and the one to make the call to arms?" "Eh?" "I am the keeper of knowledge for the Guardians. What I know they know as well. They also know that I am the first to waken, last to sleep. Thus I make the call to arms to waken the other four from their dormancy. Do you swear to do all that?" "Yes." With that simple reply Masa smiled and walked away. "Then we will see if Raicho accepts you for who you are. He is the truthsayer, the one that sees through falsehood and lies, not to mention illusions and deceptions. I will say this now. Your friend is walking into a death trap. Only you can save him...but first you must be tested. Go to the Caves of Halo, discard Korin and go up further. There a is a place called The Nest of Lightning. Meditate and pray that Raicho appears before you. This is your test. Go." "Yes Grandfather." Seiji bowed and left to do as he was bid. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The girl meanwhile was resting focusing her thoughts and thinking about the day. The red head appeared before her. "Tell me...what was the meaning of those tincans poping up out of the darkness?" "The Death Challenge for the White Knight...possibly a distraction." "Go on." the red head said softly. "A trap. The White Knight is in danger?" "What will the Oni do?" "Go help. Offer assistance." "Anything else?" The girl gave the red head an odd look. He just smiled blandly. "Remember the locket." He said gently as he faded away. The girl stared at where he was for a while then it dawned on her. The locket was the last thing in the world she had of her past...would her past come back to haunt her? If so, how? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Seiji had been meditating for about an hour when the skies broke with a heavy storm. Clouds had built up to that point. Lightning flashed and the wind howled. Still Seiji sat there focusing his mind. (And his hair did not move. /evil grin/) A bolt of lighting struck nearby charging the area. Seiji focused and channeled it away from him. Just then a soft voice reached his ears. "You have passed the test. I imagined you would get struck, but you went on focusing on yourself and life other than death. I admire that. For that I have chosen you as my bearer...Seiji, he who was of Korin, rise and become the thunder bird Raicho!" Seiji arose and looked up. "Busso Raicho!" he cried. Immediately the metal started forming on him and Wings appeared, folding flat on his back. They too were made of the same metal. A new no-datchi rested hi his hand and he looked at it sharply. Finely crafted and made by the gods it seemed. Whoever made it he trusted. He approached the edge of the nest and willed the wings to come out. he then took a chance. While they were not like wings, they carried him to the ground easily. When he landed they folded back mysteriously. Seiji smiled. 'So this is how it is to be a guardian...I am properly chastened Grandfather." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The girl approached the steps of the manor and cautiously knocked. Ryo went to answer and stared... "Ryo..." "Angel! I thought--" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Authors note: HAHAHAHAHAHA! AGAIN I LEAVE A CLIFFHANGER! What now? Will the truth be revealed? Why does Ryo know this mysterious girl? Angel...her name is Angel...odd...coincedence? Maybe, then again I could be an a** and not tell ya. Keh..I'll be an a**. Find out next chapter as the Angelic Guardian wakens!
