Dragon Orbs: Stars of Destiny Chapter 1
Code Red Emergency lights flash in a 360 degree motion as a high pitched alarm goes off. The normal ceiling lights dim down as the red from the emergency lights shine across white stone walls and foam ceilings. The footsteps of hard souled military boots join the high pitched alarm as a dozen security soldiers race down through a hallway. At the center of the hallway a set of elevator doors open and another group of security soldiers join the dozen marching down through the hallway.
At the end of the hallway is a thick metal door with a Biohazard sign printed on it. They stop at it as one of the soldiers swipe an identification card across a security panel. The sound of air pushing out of the room can barely be heard as the thick door swings inwards. The soldiers pile into the room single file and then spread out across the room preparing their weapons for a fight.
There is only computers and a single table within the room. All the computers are flashing the word ALERT on their screens. The soldiers look around the room making sure it is secure before they march up to a second thick metal door. The same soldier swipes an ID badge and then watches the thick metal door swing open. They slowly walk into the next room single file.
Within the next room is two different sections. Each one has a airlock as a doorway. Half the soldiers pile up to the section on the right as the other soldiers pile up to the section on the left. They look through the wall size windows at the labs inside.
Within the section on the left is a large lab filed with cybernetic equipment. At the center of the room is an almost completed cybernetic being. Wires and tubes are connected to different parts of its human male shaped body. There is two human scientists cowering down in the corner of the room. One of the soldiers notice them and they point to the other section.
Within the section on the right is a lab filled with equipment to study only one object - a silver sphere about two feet in diameter. At the center of the room is a female scientist wearing a fully sealed bio-hazard suit. She is typing in commands onto the computer station around the storage unit holding the silver sphere. The reflection of the red emergency lights and the female scientist is seen across the surface of the sphere. A soldier tries his security card but is unable to enter the lab. He bangs on the window trying to get the female scientists attention. She hears the banging and turns to see the group of soldiers piled up outside the lab. She ignores them.
The soldiers try to bypass the security panel but is unable too. They then try to open the security panel and rearrange the wiring.
The female scientists eyes widen at the readouts that are spread across the computer screens. The graphs and charts spike to the highest level and then all the computers shut off. Everything electrical shuts off and then starts to explode within the lab. The female scientist holds up her arms protecting herself. The soldiers watch with shock as she tries to escape but is unable to get through the door.
The silver sphere floats within its storage unit and spins around. It spins so fast that all that can be seen of it is a blinding white light.
The female scientist bangs on the glass door several times before she notices that all the soldiers are slowing down. She turns around and sees the explosions floating in the air as if it was all freezing in place. She notices that everything has began to slow down and then freeze except her. The female scientist moves around the room and then sees the silver sphere has disappeared and in its place is a white hole. She walks up to the computers when a burst of energy comes form the back of the room. An energy wave vibrates in a circular motion moving across the wall. Everything by the wall distirts as the shadowy image of eight beings of different shapes and genders begin to appear. The being closest to the edge of the distortion wave is seen in full detail. It is a female with a suit of silver skin across her whole body except for her face. The females lips move but nothing comes out. A few seconds pass as her words echoes across the room.
Find Lord Raphe.
The female scientist watches the beings diappear as the words continue.
He knows the secret of the Orbs.
She sits on the cold ceramic tiled floor as all the lights come back on and the computers reboot. A soldier knocks on the glass door trying to ger her attention. She turns her head looking up at him. She can tell he is wondering if she is ok. She gives him a thumbs up and then slowly stands up. As another soldier tries to bypass the security panel the female scientist looks at the center of the room. She sees the white energy gone and the silver orb resting within its storage container as if nothing had happened.
Five stories above the lab complex on street level rests an innocent looking storage unit building. The high metal fence and single security guard does not make it look like a top secret facility lays beneath it all. The guard stands outside his both looking up at the sky. A weird energy wave forms across the sky. A group of clouds form and lightning shoots down from the clouds around the area. The security guard ducks back into his booth.
Across the street where there is no clouds or lightning a man wearing a long, black trench coat and a wide brimmed black cowboy hat looks at a group of postcards and letters he is placing into a mailbox. Without raising his head he looks across the street at the clouds and lightning. He smiles as he places the last letter into the mailbox. The long scar running from his forehead, across his eye, down his check to his jaw line streatches creating a lightning bolt like shape.
The cloud disappear and the lightning stops. The sun and the bright blue sky is seen once more as if nothing had happened.
The man walks away from the mailbox heading down the street away from the area whistling the theme song from Tales from the Crypt.
Dragon orbs: stars of destiny chapter 2
CHAPTER TWO -
Queit surrounds a single male as determination forms within his brown eyes. He wipes sweat off his forehead with the sleeve of his shirt. He walks several steps swings back his left arm and flings it on front of him. A smooth, black bowling ball releases from his hand and gently flies through the air. It hits the bowling lane with a thunderous bang and then rolls quickly towards the end of the lane. Its movements create a thunder storm like noise as it stays on a straight course towards the bowling pins. The momentuim of its approach vibrates the pins making them look like they are trembling with fear. The bowling ball smashes into the pins knocking every single one down. With a loud thump the smooth, blakc bowling ball falls into the back of the bolwing lane.
STRIKE! Mr. Url Brenner does it again folks. He has won the World Championship Bowling Tournement for the fifth year in a row. It is amazing how he started out as a novice bowler and then one day he found, what he calls his lucky bowling ball at a yard sale in his home state of Winsconsin. Now look at him. Champion for the fith straight year. said a females voice over the intercom speakers.
Dozens of people jump up and down cheering with joy. Several people high five each other. The other contestants walk up to Mr. Url Brenner and shake his hands. On each on their bowling shirts are the designs and flags representing the countries they are from. He looks around at all the happy people and sees how everyone has someone to be with except for him.
After he has shook their hands he walks up to the bowling ball return portal and waits for his ball. He watches his bowling ball roll down the shoot and then eneter the portal where it pops out next to two other bowling balls. Mr. Erl Brenner picks it up and stares at it. He smiles and then walks it to the sitting area where his jacket and bowling ball bag is. He places the bowling ball into its bag and then meets up with the Tournements officals. He shakes their hands, stands for pictures and a short interview and then receives his large trophy.
Later after the championship dinner Mr. erl Brenner quietly leaves through a side entrance. He sees his Mini Cooper parked at the side parking area and thinks he will be able to leave without anyone noticing but a group of teenagers spot him and run towards him. He knows what they want so he stops and waits for them. They step up to him with pieces of paper and photos of him. Mr. Erl Brenner takes out a pen and signs each one. He smiles as they ask him questions. He doesnt answer them back. They dont seem to care. They say their good byes and he nods his head bye.
Mr. Erl Brenner crosses the parking area and steps up to his car. He inserts his cars keys into the drivers side door when the sound of two motorcycles drive by him stops. He looks over and sees two large men wearing professional motorcyclist one-piece suits sitting on the bikes. They park their motorcycles by the sidewalk of the parking area and then they take off their helmets. The two large men look almost identical except that one has no hair and the other has short crew cut hair. Mr. Erl Brenner places the trophy and his jacket on the ground. He watches the two bikers approach him out of the corner of his eye. He places the bowling ball bag on the ground and then removes the bowling ball.
Give us the Orb Mr. Brenner, said the two men.
Mr. Erl Brenner turns around holding the bowling ball behind him. He sees the two large men standing in the exit area of the parking lot two car distance away from him.
I wondered when you would appear. I sensed your approach when Sven from Germany went up against George from Canada, said Mr. Erl Brenner, and no you cant have it.
He takes the bowling ball out from behind him and places it on front of him. He lets go of it and it floats in the air spinning. His eyes change from brown to black as the ball stops. The two large men move to brace themselves for a fight.
The bowling ball zooms pass the cars at the large man with the bald head. He places his arms on front of him protecting himself. The bowling ball strikes him hard and he flies across the street slaming into a van. The vans windows shatter and he becomes indented into the side door. The large man with the short cut hair quickly runs up to Mr. Erl Brenner and swings his arm back to punch him. Mr. Erl Brenner turns his head and smiles at the man with the short cut hair. The bowling ball comes back towards them and hits the short cut hair man in the side. He flies over a car and slams into the parking lot ground.
The bowling ball makes a u-turn and circles Mr. Erl Brenner as he walks up to the large man with the short cut hair. Mr. Erl Brenner looks down at the large man.
I have fought your kind for the last ten years. This Orb will never leave me. said Mr. Erl Brenner.
As the bowling ball makes another circle around Mr. Erl Brenner the large man with no hair sneaks up behind them. He swings a thick metal baseball bat at the bowling ball. Mr. Erl Brenner turns around but is too late. The bowling ball it nailed by the baseball bat and slams into the car door next to the large man with short cut hair. The man with short cut hair quickly gets up and grabs the bowling ball. Mr. Erl Brenner grabs his head as a powerful headache forms.
No, get away, its mine. said Mr. Erl Brenner.
Both large men stand next to each other looking down at Mr. Erl Brenner as he twitches in pain across the ground. The large man with short cut hair removes a leather bag from his pants leg pocket and places the bowling bag within it. The large man with no hair raises the baseball bat and hits Mr. Erl Brenner in the head until blood and bone splashes everywhere across the ground. The two large men walk back to their motorcycles, place their helmets back on and then drive away. As they stop at a red light down the road they can hear a scream coming from a female. They turn to look at each other and then continue to drive away when the lights turn green.
They reach the outskirts of the small but very crowded town and stop at a Motel. They drive to the back of the Motel where there is only two cars parked. They look around to make sure no one has followed them and then climb up the two flights of stairs to the third floor. At room 312 they find a woman standing on front of the doorway smoking a cigarette. They look at her and she nods her head for them to go in. She opens the door and they enter the Motel room. The woman closes the door and looks around to see if anyone might be wacthing.
Inside the Motel room the two large men place their motorcycle helmets on the bed and wait. The sound of a toliet flushing is heard as they continue to wait. The bathroom door opens and a men about five feet two inches tall comes out. He is wiping his hands on a medium size towel as he walks to the back of the room. The two large men stare at his Hawaiian button down shirt and tan cargo pants and hold back a laugh. The small man looks at them and then notices the leather bag and smiles. He wipes his bald head and then throws the towel on the bed next to the motorcycle helmets. He walks up to the men and takes the leather bag from them. He walks back to the back of the room and opens the bag. He removes the bowling ball and lifts it into the air to have a better look at it.
Wonderful isnt it? So perfect and flawless. As you can see it does not even cast any type of reflection on its surface. said the small man.
The two large men look at it and finally notice that there is no reflections on it.
Where did you two say it was? said the small man.
It was used as a bowling ball. said the large man with no hair.
The small man turns around and looks at the two large men. He then moves the bowling ball around looking at the three finger holes.
So thats why there is these three holes, well we have to change that. said the small man.
He closes his eyes and the three holes disappear. He opens his eyes and looks back at the two large men.
The Black Dragon Orb. said the small man.
He places two fingers in his mouth and whistles. The woman outside the room opens the door and steps into the room. The small man waves a finger in the air and the full cigarette the woman is smoking breaks into sand size particles and float out the door. She looks angerly at the small man.
Hey that was my first cigarette. You told me one a day and that was it. said the woman.
You have smoked five today now come in and shut up. said the small man.
The woman closes the door and stands next to the two large men. The small man bends down and removes a chest from underneath the bed. He opens it up and two other orbs are snuggly resting within styrafoam padding. One is pink and the other is green. He pushes the black orb into the styrafoam next to the pink orb. The small man closes the chest and then pushes it back underneath the bed.
Three out of seven Orbs. Do we have any word yet from Yokiko about the Gold Dragon Orb? said the small man.
She will call us when she is done. said the woman.
Good, good, said the small man.
He places his hands behind his back and walks back and forth thinking.
Where did she go again? said the small man.
Taiwan. said the woman.
Oh yes, said the small man, thats by China right?
Yes sir it is. said the woman.
The two large men look at each other thinking what an idiot. The small man notices their expressions and walks up to them. He points a finger at them and they rise into the air. They do not rise far when they hit the ceiling.
I told you all when I first took over from my Master that I was not well traveled and did not know much about ancient history or other cultrures then Amercian. You each agreed to be tolerant about it. So I dont want any more or those type of looks from you again. Got me? said the small man.
The two large men try to speak but cant because their throats are being squeezed. They do nod their heads up and down quickly. The small man lowers his fingers releasing them. They drop a foot to the floor. He turns around and faces the bakc of the room. He flicks his fingers in the air and the room door opens.
You two go back to your rooms. I will call you when I need you. Marsha you stay. said the small man.
Yes sir. said the two large men.
They hold their throats as they walk out of the room. The woman watches them and turns around to face the small man as the sound of the door closing is heard behind her. The small man lowers his shoulders and changes his blank expression on his face. His eyes widen becoming more relaxed. He sits on the edge of the bed and then taps it signaling for the woman to sit next to him.
Am I doing the right thing Marsha? said the small man.
I dont understand? said Marsha.
Taking over for Master Yoshis hunt for the Dragon Orbs. When you came to me about his last request before he died I thought you were crazy. We have not spoken in tens years since I stopped taking his Martial Arts class and now I am taking over this quest of his. I was satisfied with my life as a Shift Manager at Pizza Hut. said the small man.
Marsha gives him a look of I dont believe you.
Ok, ok, it was boring and I didnt date much but still it was a good life. Now I am traveling aorund the world with people who I dont know and freakin scare me. You are the only person I can trust. You knew me when we took the classes together. This was nothing I ever thought of doing with my life. said the small man.
Marsha grabs his hands and holds them.
Look Stephen, you are the only person who knew more about Master Yoshi then anyone else including me and I was his top student. I dont know what he saw in you but he said for us to follow you. You had something that we did not and to teach you everything you do not know. said Marsha.
But I dont know anything. said Stephen.
You know more about the Dragon Orbs then we do, I am afraid to say. said Marsha.
I only know what I read in comic books as a kid and what Master Yoshi told me. said Stephen.
Which is a lot more then we know for Master Yoshi never told me about the Dragon Orbs until before he died. He told me about his quest but he never told me what he was searching for. said Marsha.
And do you regret knowing? said Stephen.
No, not one bit. It is a life chaning experience to find out that there are things in this world that are beyond our control and that can give us powers that no one has ever dreamed of. said Marsha.
That part is what I dont like, having powers that no one has ever dreamed of. Thats the reason why I quit his school. I never wanted to be more powerful than anyone I was just looking for a sense of self-discipline. said Stephen.
Well, you got powers like no one has dreamed of and you are on a quest to find Ancient Artifacts of an Alien origin. said Marsha.
They become quiet for a moment as Stephen thinsk of what was said. Marsha stands up and takes out a pack of cigarettes. She snaps her fingers and her pointer fingers ignites into a flame. She uses it to lite the cigarette. Stephen watches her inhale and then exhale. He raises his hand and the cigarette breaks apart into sand size particles and drops to the floor. Stephen stands up and he stands about a foot smaller then Marsha.
My uncle died from lung cancer because he smokes a lot. I dont want you to do so. No more cigarettes today ok. said Stephen.
He walks to the door and opens it up.
Tell me when Yokiko calls. said Stephen.
Marsha walks out the door and then turns around to watche Stephen closing the door. She becoems angry and lifts her middle finger up giving him the bird. As she walks away she takes out another cigarette, lites it and smokes it.
Inside the room 312 Stephen stands by the window watching Marsha walk away. He looks aorund the room thinking. He sits back at the edge of the bed and removes the chest from underneath his bed. He opens it up and looks at the three Dragon Orbs.
I wonder what your secrets are little ones. said Stephen.
dragon orbs: stars of destiny chapter 3
CHAPTER THREE -
Night falls over the town of Lolang. For the tourist who come to this town the bright lights from all the shops make it look like it is still day time. But then night time is when all the fun starts. Most of the resturants open when the sun sets. Traders come out of their alley ways selling everything from fish heads to fake diamond necklaces. If one would look on a map they would not see this town. They only way to find it is to ask directions to it from Taxicab drivers. The town usually has tourists and sailors from all over the world, so a chinese man dressed in a long black, thin trench coat looking at the small shops is nothing to be concerned about. He watches the venders walking up to everyone trying to sell them all types of things but he knows where to shop and where not to shop. He passes them all and turns down a dead-end alleyway towards a shop that has little trinkets and ancient artifacts for sale. On the door, in neon letters are the words - YOUR FUTURE TOLD HERE, in English, Chinese, Russian, German, Spanish and Tiawanese.
The Chinese man opens the door and a small bell dings. A Tiawanese man sitting behind a counter that is covered with Buhda statues, looks over at him. He is smoking a long stemmed pipe and watching the shopping channel on a small flatscreen TV.
Were closed. said the Tiawanese man in Tiawanese.
You sign is on. said the Chinese man in Tiawanese.
The Tiawanese man looks back at the TV screen. The neon open sign flickers and then shuts off. The Chinese man hears the crackle of energy and sees the neon sign going off.
They know about it. Its not safe. we have to move it, said the Chinese man in Tiawanese.
The Tiawanese man continues to watch the TV screen.
I dont know what you are talking about, said the Taiwanese man in Tiawanese.
The Chinese man walks up to the counter and pushes several of the Buhda statues off the counter.
They know you have the Gold Dragon Orb and will be here any minute. said the Chinese man in Tiawanese.
The Taiwanese man looks at the shattered statues and then at the Chinese man.
Youre going to pay for thoses. said the Taiwanese man Tiawanese.
He looks over the Chinese mans shoulders and looks through the shops windows. He sees a group of people disappearing into the shops down the alleyway. The Chinese man turns around and sees the alleyway completely deserted.
I told you they would be here any minute. said the Chinese man in Tiawanese.
A burst of light comes from above the street as the sound of a helicopter is heard. All the lights within the shop turns off. All they can see by is the light coming from outside the shop. The Chinese man walks up to the window and looks up at the sky. He sees a large black military helicopter hovering above the alleyway. The side doors open and ropes drop out from inside it. The Chinese man watches a dozen soldiers repel down the ropes dropping into the alley. He turns around and finds the Taiwanese man gone. He looks around the shop and sees no visible exits or hidden passageways and then he sees a golden orb with twin dragon statues wrapped around it. The Chinese man walks up to the counter and looks at the orb. He reaches over the counter and grabs a plastic bag that has the shops name on it and places the Golden Dragon Orb within it. He hears people talking outside and recognizes it as American. He holds the bag tightly as he walks up to the front windows. The Chinese man can see the shop owner standing outside the shop holding his arms in the air as if he was surrendering. He becomes angery that he slams his hand onto a small statue breaking it. The Tiawanese shop owner turns around and looks at his shop because he heard the statue breaking. He shakes his head looking at the Chinese man.
A Chinese female soldier drops down from the helicopter and lands on front of the other soldiers. She is not dressed like the other soldiers. She does not has as much weapons or gear strapped around her. She unhooks herself from the rope and stares at the shop owner. The Chinese mans eyes widen.
Yokiko. said the Chinese man in Chinese.
The Tiawanese shop owner sees the expression on the Chinese mans face and turns around to see the Chinese woman soldier walking up to him.
Where is the Dragon Orb. said the Chinese woman in English.
The shop owner says nothing in reply all he does is smile. He stretches his fingers out and lightning bolts burst from the sky hitting the helicopter and the alleyway. The soldoers duck for cover as the helicopter spins out of control. The ropes the soldiers repelled down, smoke from being burnt as the helicopter spins over the buildings disappearing form sight. The Chinese woman stands her ground unafraid of any of it. After the lightning stops small craters are seen across the alleyway floor. The Tiawanese shop owner lowers his arms and then shoots them out of front of him. Lightning bolts fire out from his finger tips at the Chinese woman.
NO! screamed the Chinese man in English.
But he was not screaming about how the woman was being hit from the lightning but at the shop owner signaling he should have never done that.
The lightning bolts hit the Chinese woman and burst across her body. Smoke and a fog like substance floats around her hiding the Chinese woman. The shop owner smiles at a good job he did. He turns around and looks at the Chinese man standing in his shop. He sees the Chinese man shaking his head no signaling that was not a good idea. The shop owner turns back around and watches the smoke move aorund like a tornadoe and float into the night sky. He is shocked to see her still standing and unharmed.
If you just gave me the Dragon Orb you will not be dead. said the Chinese woman in English.
A surge of energy builds up from the ground, flows through her legs and then into her arms. She whips her arms out at the Tiawanese shop owner. A single thick lightning bolt burst out from her and hits the shop owner in the chest. He has no time to react and is bombarded by the blast. He floats backwards falling into the front of his shop shattering the glass windows. The Chinese man within the shop watches him fall to the ground burnt and dead.
Come out Tasei. I know youre in there little brother. Give me the Dragon Orb. said the Chinese woman in English.
The soldiers come out from where they were hiding and stand behind her. The Chinese man looks around and wonders whats the best way to escape without being noticed. He realizes there is none. He holds the bag by his right side as he walks out of the shop.
Hello sister. said the Chinese man in English.
Three throwing knives drop out from his left sleeve. He places them in between his fingers and then jumps to the left of him as he throws the throwing knives. The soldiers fire their weapons at him as the Chinese woman created an energy sheild blocking the throwing knives and then the Chinese man disappears. During the few seconds when all of this happened the bullets hits the Chinese mans right hand making him drop the bag with the Dragon Orb within it, two bullets hit his right side by his ribs, he freezes in the air and then he slowly fades away disappearing from sight.
The Chinese woman watches the Dragon Orb roll out of the bag and several soldiers walk up to it. She looks down at her feet and sees the throwing knives. She becomes angry and raises her hands in the air. Blue energy waves coem out form her palms hitting the soldiers knocking them all over the alleyway. The soldiers that stayed behind her step a couple feet away from her. They watch her walk up to the Dragon Orb and pick it up.
She looks at it and notices a little blood on it and then she notices blood on the ground. She figures out that the Chinese man must have been shot before disappearing.
Did anyone get a signal on my brother before he Faded? said the Chinese woman.
A soldier comes out from behind og the group of soldiers.
Mistress Yokiko, um, no we did not. said the soldier.
The Chinese woman looks over at the soldier he jerks backwards a little afraid of her. He stares at her waiting for something to happen. Yokiko, the Chinese woman looks at the Dragon Orb and walks away from them. The sound of a helicopter is heard again. They look up at the night sky and sees a black military helicopter floating above them. There is scrotch marks on the side of it where the lightning hit it. More rope is thrown out of the sides of the helicopter and dropped into the alleyway. Yokiko takes out a cell phone and flips it open. She dials in a number using her thumb and then listens to it ring. The ringing stops and she places it by her ear.
I have the Gold Dragon Orb but I met up with my brother. Once we clean up here I will be heading back. said Yokiko.
She flips the cell phone shut and puts it back. She looks around the alley as if she was about to find someone.
Oh brother, where did to Fade to? said Yokiko.
A crack of thunder erupts around them as rain comes pouring down. She looks up as the rain hits her in her face. She slowly walks underneath the helicopter to get out of the rain. Yokiko watches as some of the soldiers quickly climb up the ropes heading into the helicopter. She grabs a rope and then looks at the Dragon Orb. She notices how the Gold color is smearing. He holds it with her other hand and sees gold paint over her hand and shirt sleeve. Her eyes widen as she slams the Dragon Orb against the ground. It shatters into a million pieces spreading shards of glass everywhere. At the center of the pile of glass shards she sees a fortune cookie. She picks it up and opens it. She reads what is written on the fortune.
Do not seek what you are looking for, let it find you. said Yokiko.
She crushes the fortune and fortune cookie in her hand and then throws it to the ground.
Its a fake! Someone find where my brother Faded to. screamed Yokiko.
Dragon orbs: stars of destiny chapter 4
CHAPTER FOUR -
Droplets of water fall into a bright red bowl filled with water. A couple og drops and then dozens of drops hits the surface of the water creating ripples that move across the bowl hitting its outer edges and then ripple back inwards. The reflection of something white with yellow flowers distort across the surface of the water. Several more droplets of water fall into the bowl as a Chinese woman squeezes a white wash cloth that has pink flowers printed across it of excess water. She leans over and places the wet wash cloth across the head of a Chinese man. He is tightly wrapped with a white sheet and is laying on a wooden board on the floor.
Oh Tasei, what did you get into this time. said the Chinese woman.
One of the walls slide open and an elderly Chinese woman looks into the room. She takes off her shoes and kneels down in the room.
Behind her is a courtyard with bright green grass. The bright sunlight shines down upon the courtyard making it more beautiful then what it already looks.
How is he? said the elderly Chinese woman in Chinese.
I removed the bullets and sewed up the wound but his body suffered more injuries from when he Fadded here. I cant fix those. said the young Chinese woman in English.
I have called the others they will be here shortly to help. Has he said anything about what he did before coming here? said the elderly Chinese woman in English.
No he did not Sensei Amiee. said the young Chinese woman.
Did Shinjei trace his Fade signature yet? said Sensei Amiee.
I have not seen him since he went back to the temple. said the young Chinese woman.
Thank you Yukane. said Sensei Amiee.
Sensei Amiee steps outside and places her shoes back on and then walks away leaving the sliding wall open. Yukena listens to several birds talking to each other perched on the rooftop across the courtyard.
Sensei Amiee steps off the porch of the main building and follows a dirt path to a large temple made with small stone blocks. From the outside the temple looks small with many rooms but the inside is only one large room. Sensei Amiee enters the main entrance and two stone statues turn their heads watching her and then face the direction they were originally at. Sensei Amiee enters the large main room. At the far back is a giant statue of Buhda. Dozens of candles are lit around it. Modern day lights have been drilled into the ceiling to brighten up the room. The wooden floors creak as Sensei Amiee walks across it towards the Budha statue where a Chinese man is kneeling down feeling the floor on front of the statue.
Shinjei, have you found where Tasei Faded from yet? said Sensei Amiee in Chinese.
The Chinese man stands up and brushes dirt off the knee area of his white pants. He stands about two feet taller than her.
I think Taiwan and I think it was from Master Wantanabes shop. said Shinjei in Chinese.
Sensei Amiee is stunned and becomes quiet. She places her hands behind her back and paces back and forth. Shinjei watches her knowing it is not his places to speak yet. She stops and stands on front of him. She opens her mouth but before she can say anything Shinjei speaks instead.
Does this all mean that someone knows about the Dragon Orbs? said Shinjei in Chinese.
Sensei Amiee places her arms by her side and stares up at him. Shinjei can see the old age wrinkles around her grayish eyes as she gives him a not so good look. He closes his lips tight and waits for her to say what ever she was going to say. She says nothing and walks away from him and out the temple. He is left not knowing what to do, follow her or stay? He moves a little and then walks out of the temple following her.
He catches up with Sensei Amiee outside the main building. She is standing still watching something in the courtyard. He stops by her and sees five people Fading in. They both wait and then walk onto the courtyard. The five beings, two woman and three males, all from different countries see them and walk towards them. The man on front of the group is wearing a gray suit with a small black bowtie. His hair looks recently washed and combed. He takes out a hankercheif from his back pocket, wipes the lenses of his glasses, places them on and then bows at Sensei Amiee.
Greetings Sensei Amiee. We received your message. How is he? said the man with a British accent.
Sensei Amiee bows at the man.
Good afternoon Mr. Monday. He is not doing so well. We have him in the waiting room. This way I will show you. said Sensei Amiee.
Mr. Mondy follows Sensei Amiee as the others follow him. Shinjei watches with amazement. He has heard of them but has never seen all at the same time and then his amazment changes to excitment. The last person to follow Mr. Monday is an Amercian female. Shinjei looks at the high heeled leather boots she is wearing and then notices that she is wearing fish net stockings underneath the trench coat. He looks up at her chest area and notices how the trench coat is not buttoned up all the way and he can see that she is wearing a lacey bra. His eyes widen and he smiles. The woman merely glances his way as she walks pass him following the others. Shinjei begins to follow her when his foot slips on a sheet of ice and he falls backwards onto the grass. The woman looks back and places her hand on front of her mouth and blows him a kiss. A small burst of snow comes out of her mouth and floats around Shinjeis face. He blocks the snow with his hand and when he lowers it she is gone into the room with the others.
Tasei opens his as if he senses they have entered the room. He looks up and sees the five people who has just arrived. He grins knowing who they.
He sees Brooke Sunfeild a famous world wide model. He sees how she is wearing longerie under the trench coat. Next to her is Keith Jones the American skateboarder wearing his normal baggy pants, a white tank top and a button down shirt with comic strips across it. In the middle is Mr. Monday. Next to him is Ivana, the beautiful female Martail Artist from Russia. And last but not least is Abdul Jaffe Abin Sune from Saudia Arabia wearing wedding ceremonial robes.
So what did you do this time to make me miss my wedding Tasei. said Abdul Jaffe Abin Sune.
The Dragon Orbs. whispered Tasei.
Its always about the Dragon Orbs. said Abdul Jaffe Abin Sune.
What he means is that someone found the location of Master Wantanabe Dragon Orb. said Sensei Amiee.
They all turn and look at her shocked to hear what she has said.
Which means we must bring it back with us, said Mr. Monday, Where is the Orb located Sensei Amiee?
Here, where is has been since Master Wantanabe intrusted it to us. said Sensei Amiee.
Who found out the location? said Ivana with a Russian accent.
My sister. whispered Tasei.
They look at each other almost exspecting that answer. Brooke Sunfeild and Mr. Monday kneel down besides Tasei. They places their hands over Taseis body and close their eyes. The others stand around the room watching.
Shinjei looks at them and can feel the power they are eminating into Tasei. after a couple of minutes he can see Taseis wounds healing.
Mr. Monday and Brooke Sunfeild opens their eyes and look at Tasei. Brooke smiles at him.
Next time you and your sister meet I suggest a friendly lunch not a fight. said Brooke.
Mr. Monday looks around at everyone looking worried.
His fade signature was not blocked because of the wounds he sustained. So I suggest we split up and watch for signs of anyone approaching while the rest of us retreive the Dragon Orb. We need to prepare it for transport. said Mr. Monday.
Two green Hummers pulls up to an arched entrance way. Ten foot tall stone walls connect with the arched entrance way and surround a large wooded property. A dozen soldiers exit the two Hummers. They surround the two vehicles as Yokiko climbs out of the Hummer closest to the entrance way. She looks around the area and then walks through the entrance way. The soldiers follow her.
On the other side of the stone wall rests a large grassy feild with stone statues making it look like a park. At the back of the grassy feild is a red brick set of stairs going up a steep hill into a densely packed wooded area. Yokiko and the soldiers march over the smooth grassy feild and then stop at the bottom of the brick stairs. She looks around at the trees closest to them. She sees rope tied around four trees, two on each side of the stairs.
Does anyone have any matches or a lighter, maybe something to start a fire. said Yokiko.
All the soldiers check their pockets and no one finds anything that can start a fire. Yokiko turns around and sees hows everyone is shaking their heads signaling they dont have anything. Yokiko balls up her fingers creating fists.
Mistress Yokiko. said a soldier at the back of the group.
All the soldiers spread apart revealing the soldier. He walks to the front of them and holds out his hand. She sees a pack of cigarettes and a lighter. She grins at the cigarettes and then takes the lighter. She nods her head signaling for the soldier to go back. He nods his head obeying and then quickly walks away. Yokiko turns around and looks at the trees with the rope on them. With a single flick she activates the lighter. A small red flame comes forth swaying back and forth. Yokiko places her hand over it and then raise her hand in the air. The little flame becomes larger. Her eyes glow as the flame comes off from the lighter and flies at the nearest tree with rope. The flame burst across the rope. It catches on fires and slowly burns away. Yokiko lights the lighter three more times, makes the flame expand larger and shoots it at the rest of the three trees that have rope tied around them. Each piece of rope burst in flames and slowly melt away.
At the temple Sensei Amiee stops for a moment after she opens a secret cabinet within the temple room. She moves away from the hidden canbinet and looks out the entrance. Yukane and Shinjei notices her odd behavor and before they ask what is wrong she runs out of the room. Yukane and Shinjei look at each other worried.
Ill go and check on her. said Shinjei.
He leaves the room as Yukane takes out a box made out of bamboo. She hands it to Mr. Monday. He nods his head thanking her.
Outside the temple Sensei Amiee stands in the middle of a small area of grass. A small whirlwind wraps around her as Shinjei walks up to her. Brooke and Keith Jones come out from a path in between two buildings.
Sensei Amiee. Yokiko and a group of soldiers are burning a group of trees at the bottom of ther hill. said Brooke.
Shinjei quickly whips his head around and stares at Brooke.
How is that possible. This area is protected by all magic. said Shinjei.
Not the protection spells themselves. said Sensei Amiee.
Shinjei looks back at her. She turns around looking at them all.
The ropes that guards the stairs going up the hill can easily be cut or burned, said Sensei Amiee, I suggest you tell the others to pack and leave. I will try to stop them buy know this no os you can fade within the borders of the property. Since the protection spells have been broken the only areas to Fade are outside the property. It is a fail safe for any one who is trying to break out or force themselves in.
Yes Sensei Amiee. said Brooke.
She bows and Sensei Amiee bows back. She taps Keith on the shoulder and they run back the way they came. Sensei Amiee looks Shinjei in the eyes.
You must take Yukane away from here. Go to Fuji Arsahkage Village and wait for me. said Sensei Amiee.
Its that bad? said Shinjei.
Worse. said Sensei Amiee.
Good Journey. said Shinjei.
Good Journey. said Sensei Amiee.
Shinjei runs back into the temple and meets up with Yukane and Mr. Monday. Brooke and Keith come into the temple. They watch as Mr. Monday removes a gold colored orb from the bamboo box. Ivana and Abdul Jaffe Abin Sune carry Tasei into the temple. Tasei coughs and they all turn around to see him bandaged up leaning againt Ivana. Abdul Jaffe Abin Sune stares at the gold Dragon Orb.
So whats our next plan of action? said Abdul Jaffe Abin Sune.
Sensei Amiee is going out and distract the intruders while we leave. said Shinjei.
Mr. Monday turns his head and looks at Shinjei and then at the Dragon Orb. He places it back into the bamboo box. They look at him waiting for him to speak.
Brooke, you and Keith help Sensei Amiee. Ivana, Abdul Jaffe take Tasei and head down the south passage. Yukane, Shinjei and I will try the west passage. The moment you all are clear Fade without hesitation. Get out of here. It does not matter where you go just leave. Then meet us at HQ in an hour. said Mr. Monday.
Mr. Monday reaches out his hand. Each of them walk up to it and place their hand on his. Shinjei and Yukane just watch. Mr. Monday looks at them.
Last one back at HQ buys dinner. said Mr. Monday.
Its not going to be me this time. said Keith.
He takes his hand out from the pile of hands and then runs out of the temple. Brooke watches him leave and then looks at Mr. Monday. He nods his head signaling to go after him. She grins and then runs after him. Everyone else takes their hands back and then split up into their groups and exit the temple through a different door.
Just outside the main group of buildings Sensei Amiee has met up with Yokiko. Sensei Amiee reaches out with her hands, palms facing forwards as Yokiko fires a brust of green energy at her. An invisible feild surround Sensei Amiee blocking the energy blast. Grass and pieces of the porch behind her is blown apart. Sensei Amiee looks behind her to see what the damaged has caused to the building.
How dare you defile this holy place. Leave now or die. said Sensei Amiee.
I just want the Dragon Orb and my brother, said Yokiko, it is up to you who will do the dying.
Green energy eminates from the ground underneath Yokiko and travels up into her. She throughs out her hands shooting the green energy at Sensei Amiee. Sensei Amiee creates the force feild again but is unable to hold it back. The feild fails and she is thrown through the buidlings main entrance.
Brooke and Keith comes running out from the back of another building to see Sensei Amiee being thrown through the building. Then they look over to see several soldiers coming up the brick stairs behind Yokiko. Brooke lifts her hands in the air and then throws them out on front of her. A snow blizzard forms above her and then is fired out from her hitting Yokiko. She kneels on the ground trying to counter the blizzard but is unable too. Yokiko is blown across the grassy area rolling away from them. The soldiers aim their guns at brooke and fire. Before the are able even get close to hitting her she turns off the blizzard and creates a tidal wave of water at them. They are washed back down the brick stairs. Many are able to hold onto the sides while others roll down the stairs.
Brooke runs to the top of the stairs and looks down it. The few soldiers who were able to hold on see her and fire at her. She bends down and touches the water the cover the stairs. Every inch of water that covers the stairs begin to harded into ice. Most of all the soldiers become stuck as the ice forms around them freezing them to the stairs. Brooke smiles as she sees a frozed slide instead of a long flight of briock stairs. She takes off her jacket revealing a black leather bra and panty set with knee high black leather boots. She places the jacket on the ice. She steps on it and uses it to slide down the stairs. Keith wathes Brooke keeping perfect balance as she stays standing up on her jacket as she slides down the ice ramp. Keith walks over to a building and rips off a door. He jumps into the air and uses it like a surf board down the ice ramp. As they both glide down the frozen brick stairs a couple of the soldiers are able to free their arms and fire at them. But because of how fast Brooke and Keith are sliding they can not hit them.
