One hundred years ago in the year nineteen hundred and ninty one an evil lord desnded upon the city once known as Tokyo.  Some thought it was the Emperor of the Yojakai known as Arago, but five men know it wasn't for they had defeated him a few years prior.  These saviors that saved the world were mrtals who were given special armor that was forged from Arago's own dark armor.  This time however it was not the return of Arago, but the apperaince of Arago's master!  he was an evil not even these saviors in their magical armor could defete.  Knocked uncountious the keys to their armors broken they were left to die.  They say that the one that created these armors, a warrior monk named Kaosu cast a spell on the saviors for he knew they could not die yet.  They were then sealed in crystal coffins in eternal sleep waiting for the one to come and rescue them.  It is beleived that when all the coffins are broken a light as bright and as hot as the sun will purify the world and save it once again.
    "Has anyone ever seen them?" A boy asked.
    "Remeber this is only a legend." She reminded the kids that sat around her.
    "But what about the name on these boxes?" One of the older kids asked gestering to the said items scattered around the room.
    "Yes, Nasuti Yagyu.  Well, supposidly she knew them.  After they 'disapeared' she tried to get help in finding them.  No one beleived her and she was announced mentally unstable.  She also had a small boy she had adopted trying to convince people also."
    "What happened to them?" One of the girls asked.
    "Well, they were both sent to institutions.  She died mysteriously while there.  not much is known, but those that beleive in the legend think she was murdered, while everyone else thought it was suiside.  I heard that when the boy grew up he was releaced and eventually married." The group of seven sat around the large rectangular table that sat in the middle of the ancient house.  At the head of the table sat a girl of Seventeen, her brown eyes dull from the life she has lived, her brown hair hanging about her face.  The otheres, children, that all share a certain thing in comming with herself.  Sarah used to be the doaughter of a rich family.  She had a good life, till her parents were killed in the city when she was fifteen.  Without the funds or the support she was taken from her live of private schools and put into an orphanage where her skills were no good and all she had were worries.
    When she arrived at the orphanage she befriended a small boy who had also just lost his parents.  Jun, with his short brown hair and big brown eyes immedently attatched himself to the girl.  In the few years that past several children looked to Kaite as an older sister.
    "Well, at least we know she was real." Erika pointed out.  Erika, now eleven, with her red hair and blue eyes lost her parents while she was still a baby.  She lived her intire life in the orphanage.  She did the cooking for the group and since being the oldest was second in command.
    "Yea, and insane.  Let's see what she left behind." Seth stated standing up to reach one of the many boxes tehy had brought down from the attic.  Seth was only a few months younger then Erika and wanted to be able to boss everyone around.  When given the responcibility he tended to tak on more then he could handle.  With his blue hair and blue eyes, he tended to stick out in a crowd.  he was at the orphanage just a year beofre Sarah and Jun.
    "I'll go get something to clean them off with.  I'm sure they've got to be dirty." Makoto stated leaving the table tof her self apponted task.  Makoto was eight when her parents died in the city and was sent to the orphange.  She helps out around the house and loves to cook.  Erika always has help when Makoto is around.
    "Ah, who cares.  I wanna see if there's anything valuable in here." Mike stated as he opened a box, dust and dirt flying everywhere.  The trouble maker of the group, his blond hair and blue eyes make others thinkg he's not Japanese.  this gets him into a lot of fights and he takes everyone of them as a challenge.  He is very athletic and loves the outdoors.  he was only five when his parents died and tends to tell people they are only away on buisness.
    "Are you okay?" Sarah asked looking down at the black haired brown eyed little girl.  She coughed a couple of times and nodded in responce to Sarah's question.  Ami, her parents died when she was three and her grandparents took her in.  Just a few months later some guys broke into their house and killed her grandparents right in front of her.  Though they spared her, they told her not to say a thing and she's kept quiet ever since.  The lot of them have travelled around from one home to the next, each time for lack of rent.  Sarah could not earn enough in any job to pay the outragious prices.  They finally found this old house.  It was large enough for all of them, yet it was closeenough to the city that no one wanted it.  They had just moved in and were exploring when they found the Yagyu name on some boxes.
    "This is full of pictures." Mike sighed as he pushed the box away.
    "Let me see it then." Erika said grabbing the box.  She pulled out a small stack of picture frams and looked through them. "Boy, she was sure popular with the guys."
    "What do you mean Erika?" Sarah asked leaning over the table.  Erika showed her a few of the pictures with contained the Yagyu woman and five young men. "Good looking guys at that!" Sarah agreed making the girls laugh and the guys roll their eyes.
    "Do you think they could be the savious?" Jun asked looking over Sarah's shoulder.
    "Jun, She said it was a legend.  That meansit's not true." Makoto pointed out as she dusted off some of the pictures.
    "I know what it means!" Jun pouted, "But if she was put into an institution, what happened to them?"
    "Even if the ledgend was true, Jun, this couldn't be them." Sarah stated taking the picture.
    "What do you mean?" Jun asked
    "Well, the ledgen also says that because of the power contained in the armor was so much that is caused them to become forrificly disfigured.  To the point they were no longer human."  Sarah explained.
    "Do you know how? I mean, what did it do to them?" Erika asked looking at a different picture of the guys.
    "Well, the warrior of fire was burt everytime he wore the armor.  Scares cover his body and he as patches of white hair.  They say the pain was bad enough a normal person would of died from it alone.  The warrior of water, so connected was he to the element that he grew gills and scales to protect him in the oceans.  It was also rumored his legs when not in his armor formed a tail like a mermaid's.  The warrior of the sky so intent on being part of it became one beyond the dead.  Scares of this attempts of suiside by falling off the cliffs in attepts to fly clear.  The warrior of the earth is said to have arms of pure stone, capable of knocking a building over with one punch.  And finally the warrior of light is said to have hair made of pure light, but his eyes are cold and empty.  When one looks into them they see the horror of what happens to nature because of humans.  And are so ashamed by this they kill themselves."  Sarah recited.
    "Woah,  I guess these aren't them then, unless this was taken before they wore the armors." Mike stated.
   "Jun, do you know anyting about your grandparents?" Makoto interupted looking at a picture.
    "Only that nobody knows about my Grandfather's past before he was married, why?" Just asked looking over at Makoto and then back at Sarah.  Makoto flipped the picture around so everyone could see.  On it was a boy around the same age and looked exactly like Jun.
    "That must be the boy she adoped." Seth pointed out.
    "Do you think it could be Jun's Grandad?" Mike asked taking the picture.
    "It is.  I saw a picture of him once with his parents, but he would never say how they died." Jun explined taking the picture.  Jun sat there and looked at the picture as silence drifted over the room.  Ami pulled on Sarah's arm and pointed to the white tiger Jun's grandfather was sitting on.
    "I don't know where they got a white tiger from, but ti's also said that the savious had an animal compainion and that it guards this house from a far." Sarah explained.
    "Do you think he's still out there?" Erika asked looking out the window.
    "It's been a hundred years.  No cat can live that long.  Tiger or otherwise." Sarah said sadly.
    "Hey, Sarah, what's this?" Seth asked pulling something out of a box.  The object was square, white and the outside was plastic.
    "Let me see that." Sarah said taking the object from Seth.  She fumbled around with it trying to see if it opened.  First she tried to get her fingernails into the crease she had found.  When that failed she tried to just pull it apart.  Frustraited she dropped it on the table and the top plipped up to reveile what looked like a computer.
    "This thing is huge! I bet it can do anything!" Mike exclaimed.
    "But it's also old.  Probbably over a hundred years old." Makoto pointed out.
    "I wonder if it still works." Sarah wondererd flipping a few switches, but nothing happened.
    "If I remeber my history it may run on a battery." Erika pointed out.
    "Maybe, this will help." Mike tated pulling a black cord from the box.  Sarah took the cord and plugged one end into the computer and the other into the wall.  Sarah flipped the switche again, the computer jumping to life.
