CHAPTER 40: JAY OF THE FIREKINGDOM
The next morning was bright and clear. Ryu and the others got up and prepared to leave. They wished in their hearts that they could have spent more time in this sacred place but they knew that they didn't have much time. So after packing and making sure that they had covered their trail, they summoned their dragon partners and continued their journey to the Fire Kingdom.
"I wonder if we'll make it in time" Atlanta said worriedly.
"We will" Ryu assured her.
At noon, they finally saw the Fire Kingdom from a distance. Smoke was rising from the Kingdom and the clash of blades could be heard from afar. Luckily, it didn't seem like any Dark mongerers were close. The Fire Kingdom was besieged by dark ninja. The fire ninja seemed to be doing a good job at keeping them at bay but it seemed like they were on the losing side.
"I don't see Nemesis anywhere!" Ken yelled.
"Oh no, it's too late! We're too late!" Atlanta exclaimed as her heart fell from dismay.
"Don't worry Atlanta, we'll stop Nemesis" Ryu assured her.
The dragons reduced their altitude and the companions leapt off their backs, assaulting the Dark ninja they could see while still in mid-air. Tanya twisted her staff and it expanded and bared its scythes. The two opposite edges opened revealing that the wood was hollow. Tanya spun her scythe; throwing kunai in all directions and taking down multiple targets in one go.
"It's so nice to see you again you ugly stinking pelicans. Did you miss me?" Ryu said as he landed in the midst of the Dark ninja.
"Oh no! It's Ryu!" they screamed in terror.
"You've got that right! Fire Element! Dragon Fire Jutsu!" Ryu roared as he released intense flames that burnt a lot of the Dark ninja.
Shadow ninja came out of hiding and suddenly surrounded the companions.
"Rokkan, ready?" Atlanta called.
"Definitely! Let's show them the present 'us'" Rokkan said as he formed a combination seal with Atlanta.
"Earth Element!" Rokkan called.
"Crystal Element!" Atlanta called.
"DUAL ELEMENT! GAEIAN TIDAL WAVE JUTSU!!!" Atlanta and Rokkan called in unison as the earth began to tremble.
Suddenly, a fleet of crystal and earth blades fused together flew out from the ground all over the Fire Kingdom and assaulted the Dark and Shadow ninja. When the Shadow ninja realized that they were being overwhelmed, they ordered the Dark ninja to retreat. They also retreated as well to prevent more casualties among their ranks.
"You're not getting away that easily!" Nadia called as she formed a combination seal with Michael.
"DUAL COMBO JUTSU! DOUBLE HEADED WATER DRAGON JUTSU!!!" Michael and Nadia called in unison as an extremely powerful water dragon appeared and swept the Shadow ninja away.
In confusion, the Dark ninja tried to attack the saints. In anger, Atlanta sent them flying with a flurry of quick taijutsu(hand to hand combat) attacks.
She grabbed one of them by the collar.
"WHERE IS NEMESIS?!" she demanded.
"Th-the castle" the dazed Dark ninja confessed as he lost consciousness.
Atlanta let him drop to the ground.
The rest of the Dark ninja wasted no time in fleeing.
"Ryu, Nemesis is in the castle! We have to find my father!" Atlanta cried.
