CHAPTER 51: THE SECONDINVASION OF THE CRYSTAL RYU
It was the thirty second day of the month of Molten, in the year 1999, the day that marked the end of a millennium and was supposedly supposed to mark the beginning of a new era of peace. In the time of the legendary ninja, on that same day of that same month, Molten and the legendary ninja won independence for the world. Many millennia later, in the time of Gaiden, on that very day of that very month, Shekan was defeated and an era of peace and prosperity was ushered in. But in both times, Tristran had underestimated humans and toyed with their destinies as though they were playthings. Tristran had only desired to rule over humans but this time, things were different, Tristran was now hell-bent on crushing all of Ryuujinn's creation. Thus this day could actually mark the end of all age as all creation knew it.
"Guys! Wake up! Today is the big day! It's the day that will decide the fate of the world so wake up already!" Ryu called everyone.
Michael and Rokkan yawned and stretched. Then they opened their eyes.
"It's morning already?" Nadia asked tiredly.
"Aren't you listening to me?! Today is going to be the day of our biggest battle!" Ryu exclaimed excitedly.
Ken got up.
"I can't believe you're actually excited" he said.
The companions packed their stuff.
"Shroud, Anna, you say Nemesis will invade the ryu today right? So what are you going to do?" Atlanta asked.
"We'll join the forces at your other hideout and fight the Shadow ninja that invade the Fire kingdom. If we fight in our ryu's costumes, we should be able to cause confusion amongst the Dark ninja" Shroud suggested.
"That's a good idea!" Michael applauded him.
"So Atlanta, Nadia, Rokkan, Ken, Tanya, what do you plan to do? Will you go off to protect your ryu or will you go with Michael and I to protect the Crystal clan and stop Nemesis?" Ryu asked.
"Why the heck are you even asking that?! You need us to seal Shekan and stop Nemesis in case things go wrong remember?! Of course we're coming with you!" Ken scolded Ryu.
Everyone else nodded in agreement.
"But first, we need supplies, let's head to the Fire Kingdom, it's the closest place" Atlanta suggested.
"I guess you know what this means right Tanya?" Rokkan asked.
"I get to see my Dragon partner!" Tanya exclaimed excitedly as she raised her ring.
There was a flash of lightning and Queen Melody appeared!
"Q-Queen Melody, it-it's you!" Tanya exclaimed in shock.
Ryu nodded.
"It is as I suspected" Ryu said.
"As...you suspected?" Tanya and Atlanta asked in surprise and stared at Ryu.
"Yes, you all need to know that...Queen Melody is the Saint of the Sound Ryu" Ryu said.
"That's crazy Ryu! Tanya's supposed to be the Sound Saint!" Nadia and Atlanta yelled in disapproval.
"I meant...Dragon Saint!" Ryu said with absolute certainty.
"DRAGON SAINT?! HOW CAN THAT BE?!" Atlanta asked.
"She said she was ageless, remember?" Ryu reminded them.
"And you've got to admit that a ryu hidden in five folds of genjutsu is somewhat...unnatural" Michael said.
