"What are we going to do?" Shu asked from his place on the ground.
    "What can we do? This guy is a lot stronger then Arago ever was." Shin said looking into the darkened city.
    "You guys can't give up!" Jun exclaimed.
    "We're not giving up Jun. We're just trying to figure out what we're going to do." Seiji said looking Jun in the eyes. 

    "So, are you ready to fight?" A voice boomed from above.
    "Let's get this overwith." Shu said standing up. Suddenly the street surronding the troopers were filled with soldiers.
    "Hey, Akutoo, why don't you just fight us?" Touma yelled. Before the any answer was given the soldiers attacked.  The five troopers fought the soldiers and were slowly seperated.
    "We can't get seperated!" Ryo yelled at the others, but it was too late they were allready gone. 

    "Sou En Zan" 

Ryo used his sure kill, and was able to get rid of all of the soldiers.  
    "So, are you ready to face me?" Akutoo asked from the top of a building. Ryo took a fighting stance as Akutoo jumped from the building and landed in front of Ryo. "Come on boy. Show me the power of Rekka!" Akutoo then attacked. Ryo jumped from him and hid in an alley. 
    "This is bad. I can't use the Kikkote. He's too strong" Ryo said to himself, "But, I have to try. I have to try to beat him." Ryo ran out of the alley and faced the warlord.
    "So you wish to die." The warlord atacked again. Ryo fought against him as hard as he could. Ryo charged up his attack and attacked with all his might. Akutoo held his sword up and gathered up the energy.
    "H..how?" Ryo asked. Akutoo released the built up power blasting Ryo into a nearby building. The energy did not let off and just held Ryo there. "If only I could...." Ryo pictured himself standing next to Akutoo, and then he dissapeaed. 
    "So, do you still think you can still beat me?" Akutoo asked.
    "The others are still out there, they will beat you" Ryo yelled as he appeared next to him.
"So you've figured out how to teleport. But I'm afraid it's too late. Akutoo then blast a final blast of energy at Ryo. The energy stoped and a crystal sphere appeared around him and it flew into the air.

    "One-san? Where are the others?" Jun asked looking around the street.
    "I don't know Jun. I thought I heard Ryo around here, but I don't see anyone." Nasuti replied, "There has been a battle here too." 
    "Do you think he's all right?" Jun asked 
    "I'm sure he's fine." Nasuti replied. In the distance Jun saw something shimmer and ran to it. "Jun wait up!!" Nasuti yelled as she followed him. 
    "Nasuti look." Jun said as she caught up to him.  
    "What is it Jun?" Jun held up a small peice of crystal. 
    "Jun it's probably just something from one of the stores." Nasuti said pulling Jun in another direction. Jun stuck the peice of crystal in his pocket and followed Nasuti.

Touma was near the downtown area when he finally defeated the soldiers.

"SHINKU HA!!!" 

"That was very pretty." Akutoo comented from atop a building.
"What do you think you'll accomplish by splitting us up?" Touma asked but he thought he already knew the answer.
"Why to weaken you. Without the others around your weaker." Akutoo replied and then attacked. Touma held up his bow to protect himself from Akutoo's blade. "You are weak, just like the first one." 
"The first one?" Touma asked as he jumped away.
"Yes, Rekka. He tried to beat me on his own, but failed." Akutoo replied.
"Your lieing:

SHINKU HA!!"

Touma let out his sure kill, and as before Akutoo was able to collect it in his sword. 
"Your just as foolish as the first one." Akutoo then let the built up power go hitting Touma head on. It held him to the gound for a few minuets and then a blue sphere sorrounded him and he flew up to the sky along with Ryo.

"Oh, this is stupid. We keep missing them." Nasuti said stepping over part of a wall that had fallen into the street.
"Hey, Nasuti look at this." Jun said from across the street, "I found another of those crystals." 
"Jun, will you stop messing around and help me find them?" Nasuti said as she dragged him on.

Seiji stood in the middle of the street. The soldiers slowly disapeared.
"They're just an illusion." Seiji stated as he lowered his sword.
"You are smart. You didn't waste your energy." Akutoo stated as he appeared in front of him.
"Where are the others?" Seiji asked taking a fighting stance.
"Well, Kongo and Suiko are still fighting, but Rekka and Tenku have already been defeated." 
"I can't tell whether you're telling the truth or not. So I have to beleive that my friends are still fighting." Seiji replied.
"Then you are a fool." With that Akutoo attacked. Seiji bloced several of his blows but was weaking quickly.
"It's time to finish this off."

"Rai Kou Zan"

Akutoo gathered the energy into his sword. "Why do I feel like I'm repeating myself an awful lot." He then blasted the energy at Seiji. Seiji held his sword up trying to block the attack but failed. He was thrown back through some buildings. Akutoo stop the energy and a green sphere sorrounded him and he went to join Ryo and Touma.

"We missed them again." Nasuti sighed.
"One-chan, look. I don't think these are just any crystals." Jun said holding out another one.
"What are you talking about?" Nasuti asked.
"I've found one at each battle we've been at. Three total. Look at them. Part of them are round and smooth. I don't think they sell anything like that around here." Jun explained holding out the peices for Nasuti to see.
"I think your right Jun. But then where did they come from?" Nasuti asked but before either of them could answer a bast was heard not far away.

"GANTES SAI"

Shu used his sure kill and as before Akutoo gathered it up in his sword. "Your, more foolish then the others. You didn't even think before you attacked." Akutoo said looking at the weak warrior.
"That shows how much you don't kow about your opponent!" Shu shouted back as he attacked. Akutoo laughed and released the energy. After a little bit an orange sphere sorrounded him and he went to join the others.

Nasuti and Jun ran to where they had heard the explosion and got there just to see Akutoo dissapear. "One-chan, I have a bad feeling about this." Jun said as he walked over and picked up another peice of crystal.
"Jun, come on. We have to find the others." Nasuti said running in the direction of a battle.

"You are the last one." Akutoo anouced as he appeared in front of Shin.
"What do you mean?" Shin asked taking his fighting stance.
"Your comrades have been beaten and are now above you frozen in statsis." Akutoo explained. Shin looked up and say four spheres apear above them. They slowly decended to eyes level and the four troopers were in them. Nasuti and Jun emerged from a nearby alley just in time to see them.
"No...No, it's not them. They're not beaten." Shin yelled. He loosed his grip on his Yari and it about dropped.
"Shin!! Snap out of it. You have to save them!" Nasuti yelled from where she was.
"You stay out of this." Akutoo yelled and sent a blast of energy to them. Lucky Byakuen had deside to finally make an appreance and knock them out of the way.
"Now, I'll take care of you." Akutoo said as he attacked. Shin blocked his attack and provided one of his own.

"CHOURYUU HA"

Akutoo gathered his attack in his sword, and shot it back out at Shin. After the energy stoped a light plue sphere appreaed around him and he joined the others. Akutoo then turned back to Nasuti, Jun, and Byakuen.
"You have lost, but I will let you live." With that he teleported the three back to Nasuti's house.
Akutoo was about to finish the five off when the rose into the sky and shot off into their resting places. "The master will not be pleased with this, but at least they're out of the way." And then he disappeared.

"We don't know after that untill you woke us up." Shin finnished. Everybody was out listening to the story the five told.
"I know what happened." Erika spoke up.
"How do you know?" Touma asked puzzled.
"Nasuti left a journal on her computer, and I found a small journal she had written while in the insitute. I read it a while back an forgot about it." Erika explained.
"What did happen?" Shu asked
"Well,......" Erika started.

Jun, Nasuti, and Byakuen had appeared on the back lawn at the house.
"Nasuti, what are we going to do now?" Jun asked looking at the black clouds that now covered Tokyo.
"Jun, let me see those peices of crystal." Jun handed her the crystals. "Look they each have a little bit of color to them." The five crystal had a faint hue to them of the five colors of the elemental yoroi.
"Nasuti, if these were their crystal orbs then where did the rest of them go?" Jun asked
"I don't know, but there is only one way to get them back. Every since they defeted Arago their five places of rest have been garded. They only let certin people near them." Nasuti explaned.
"Then how are we going to get to them?" Jun asked.
"We're going to have to tell everyone about them. Are you with me Jun?" 
"Of, course." Jun replied.

Later that week they had a press confrence in Kyoto which would return as the new capital.
"Please everybody settle down. What I need to tell you is very important." Nasuti yelled at the crowd. They finally settled down and Nasuti contiued with her announsment.
"You expect us to beleive that?" a reporter asked.
"Yes, it is the truth. I need your help to get into these five places." Nasuti confermed.
"Your, crazy." Another reporter commented.
" She is not crazy, It's the truth." Jun yelled into the microphone.
"You even have this boy beliving that this is the truth." the same reporter said.
"You don't understand. It's not crime that has taken Tokyo, it's an evil warrior. They have control of Tokyo and they will have controll of the world if you do not help" Nasuti yelled. As her and the reporters contuied to argue some policemen came up to the podium and draged Nasuti away screaming.

Good Evening, We now have an Update. Earlyer this month a woman from the Tokyo region claimed that the result of what has happened to Tokyo is because of an Evil deomon, and that the legend of the Samurai Troopers were real. As you and me know that is unbeleivable. She was considered mentlay insane by the court and now lives in a mental asylum. She had also convinced a young boy that this was true and he is now being held in a jouvinail center untill he is convinced that non of what she had told him is true.

"You have five minuets to grab what you can, then it's off to the Funny Farm." A man said as he let Nasuti into her house. She went up to the den and wrote one last entry in her computer and placed the five peices of crystal and the jewel of life in a wooden box. She grabbed some books and left the house for the last time. As she was escorted into a white van she looked back at the houes and into the woods. A pair of brown eyes met hers and then lowered them. Byakuen's way of saying goodbye.

"Nasuti lived the rest of her life in the institution. Nobody ever beleived her, or Jun." Erika finished.
"Well, at least it's all over." Ryo said standing up.
"At least we hope so." Shu commented.
"Shu don't say anything like that. It's bad luck." Makoto said walking back into the house.
"So, Shin, when you fixing supper?" Shu asked his eyes shining.
"Don't worry Shin, I'll fix supper tonight." Erika said as she followed Makoto.
"I'll help" Ami yelled running after them.
"Well, why don't we all help." Matt said and they all went in to help set the table.

Well, what do you think????? Please tell me!!!!! I LOVE getting e-mail.
