Dragon Zone: The Code Of Heart and Hate

Chapter 6: The Water Ninja

CHAPTER 6: THE WATER NINJA

"We've got three saints now. Water ninja, here we come!" Ryu declared.

The companions had left the camping site and were heading away from the forest. They had decided to travel on foot since they felt the Water ryu couldn't be far from the dwelling of its dragon saint plus they didn't want to draw unnecessary attention to themselves.

"What a cool adventure! We've seen three, no that's two saints in two days" Ryu said happily.

"Yeah, and you two still have to explain what you were doing at the lava spot alone" Michael demanded.

"Just drop it!" Ryu said as they walked on.

Night soon arrived...again.

"We'd better rest here" Michael said.

"C'mon bro, let's move on a little further" Ryu pleaded.

"Seriously, you have one crazy amount of stamina" Michael dropped to the ground from exhaustion.

Ryu sat down and stared at the sky.

"Dad's somewhere up there right Mike?" Ryu asked.

"Yeah, I'm sure he is. It's up to us to make him proud" Michael said with a lost smile.

Soon, all the companions fell asleep. As they slept, an evil presence moved through the forest. Six shadows leapt out of the darkness and drew closer to the companions baring wicked looking swords. They raised their swords, preparing for a fatal strike. The swords came down but they were stopped by an invisible force.

Ryu woke up and saw the shadows.

"Dark ninja!" he growled as he released the fire barrier he had set up around himself and the others.

"I thought I told you to buzz off you ugly stinking pelicans!" he insulted the Dark ninja.

Ryu created whips of fire and lashed the dark ninja with them. The Dark ninja vanished after being hit by the whips but more came out of hiding.

"I guess those were clones huh?" Ryu thought angrily. "MICHAEL! WAKE UP YOU SLEEPY FOOL!" Ryu called.

Michael immediately jumped from the ground. Atlanta awakened as well.

"Sorry Ryu" Michael apologized. "What's going on?" he asked.

"Nothing much, we're just being attacked by a group of pelicans in ninja clothing. Let's get rid of these bozos!" Ryu ordered.

The three companions formed the basic ninjutsu seal.

"HORSE! TIGER!" Ryu called.

"SHARK! LEVIATHAN!" Michael called.

"LION! WOLF!" Atlanta called as they formed seals to draw out their chakra.

"Take this! FIRE ELEMENT! DRAGON FIRE JUTSU!" Ryu called.

"WATER ELEMENT! SPIRAL OF DOOM!" Michael called.

"SILENT JUTSU! CALL OF THE SIREN!" Atlanta called.

A force of fire came out of Ryu's body and burnt some of the shadows. Michael's spiral of doom came and carried some of the enemies away. Atlanta's ability brought forth a song that blew the shadows up. Atlanta quickly raised her ring. There was a flash of lightning as the fire saint appeared with a roar.

"Quick! Guys, let's get out of here!" Atlanta called.

The friends jumped onto the back of the dragon and it took them away.
