The high for today will be in the upper 90's, with humidity at 100%"Why does it have to be so hot on the first day of school" Shu complained as he switched off the radio.
Later at lunch they were all sitting around a table in the cafiteria.
"Man, is it jus tme or has it really gottne hot?"
Kento asked.
"It's gotten hot. Katie stated as she sat down next
to Cye.
"What are you doing here? I thought you had a class
this after noon?" Cye asked
"I did, but it got cancelled. The teacher couldn't
make it to class." Katie explained.
"Lucky." Kento grumbled.
"Why aren't you eating in the teachers lounge? It's
probably cooler in there." Ryo asekd
"Yea, but I wasnted to come and talk to you guys."
katie replied.
"No, you wanted to see Cye." Rowen whispered.
"What did you say?" Kaite asked
"Nothin, nothing." Rowen said as he lheld hte book
he was reading higher as Katie shook her head.
"Anyways, THe principle is thinking of letting you
guys go home early cause of the heat." Katie announced
"What? really?" Kento asked.
"Yea, the heat index is like 110 now." Katie explained.
"The heat what?" Kento asked
"The heat index. THat's the temp that it feels like."
Rowen explained.
"Ahh... So when do we get out of here?" Kento asked
egerly.
"Kento, I said might. As in you may not be sent
home." Katie explained.
"Aww..." Kento whined.
"Kaite, what is the accuall Temputare?" Sage asked.
"Well, that's hard to tell now." Katei replied
"Why's that?" Cye asked
"Well, it's weird. It was only supposed to get into
the high 90's, and it was 94 this morning. On my way back here after my
class was cancelled it was up to 97, and then once I got here it was up
to 99." Katie explained.
"Are you sure.. maybe it was just the difference
in thermometers." Rowen suggested.
"I would of thought that to, but it was the same
radio station all three times." Katie added. Suddenly a beeb came from
over head as a voice stared over the intercom...
'Attention students and staff... because of the unsusual weather you will be reliased early today'The entire cafiteria was filled with cheers from the students including Kento
'ATTENTION..... before you go.... The current temputure outside is now up to 110, and the heat index is up to 120. Once you are dismissed from your classes your are encuraged to seek shelter in an air conditioned place, and to drink a lot of water. The government has suggested thay you not even swim in the ocean or a pool. I repeat, go to an air conditioned place and drink a lot of water. You are now dismissed.'Two seconds later the cafiteria was void of all but seven students.
The next few day turned out uneventfull. Schools and most buisness are
closed becuase of the tepatures. The temps themselves rose 10 degrees each
day and the heat index rose that if not more. People who had the money
left the country to find relife, cause even in the northern most island
of
Hokkaido which is known for the cold weather has highs in hundreds.
The Ronins were sweating it out at Mia's, too hot to do anything or go
anywere.
"Hey, does anyone want to go hike down to the cabin
with me and go swimming?" Magma asked walking into the living room.
"Are you crazy!" Kento exclaimed.
"Yea, even with the air.. it's too hot to do anything."
Cye agreed.
"No, kidding. When I last heard the temp was up
to 120 and the heat index...." Katie started
"Don't say it... I don't even want to know." Rowen
said as he gulped down some water.
"Well, I'm going to go lay out some and get a tan."
Magma said as she headed outside.
"How can that girl stand it?" Sage asked.
"Are you sure she's not sick or anything?" Ryo asked
looking to Rowen
"Yea, She seems healthy to me." Rowen replied.
"A little too healthy." Kento grumbled.
"I think somthing is really wrong here." Katie stated
when she made sure Magma was gone.
"What?" Cye asked
"Temps this high? Don't tell me you havn't thought
about it." Katie asked.
"Yea, of course we thought about it. We were talking
abou it a couple of days ago." Ryo replied
"And.." Katie asked
"And what? We couldn't figure out anything." Rowen
answered.
"Yea, no warlord or manac ruler has shown up or
anything." Sage added.
"True, but there has to be something going on that
isn't natural..." Katie said thinking. Just then Magma burst into the room.
"Magma, what's wrong?" Ryo asked standing up.
"There's somekind of Warlord out there.... or something..."
Magma stammered as Mia came from the kitchen. She looked to the others
and then walked over to Magma,
"Come on, let's go to the basement..." Mia said
as she kinda pushed Magma along.
"What about the others?" Magma asked trying to pretend
she didn't know about them.
"They're umm... going to go somewhere else that's
safe... they have to find Jun and Byakuen." Mia lied as they headed down
the stairs.
'Nice lie' Magma thought to herself, 'Jun's living
with his grandparents now' She followed Mia on down the stairs.
"Ok, guys, let's go!" Ryo yelled as he transformed
into his subarmor the others following. They ran outsid to come face to
face with a souldier in a weird looking armor.
"And who are you?" Kento yelled as he readyed his
staff.
"I am General Gijutsu of Hayashi." The figure replied,
"I'm here to rid this place of your world.
"That's what you think." Kento yelled
"Yea, you'll have to get by us first" Sage added
"And who are you?" The general asked
"We are the Ronin Warriors. Defenders of this World"
Ryo anounced.
"Well, we'll just see about that." The General sneered
as he attacked. The Ronins jumped away from him....
"Armor of Wildfire... Halo....Torrent....Hardrock....Strata...Earth.....Doa, JI!!!!"
"Hmm.. This may prove to be quite intresting..."
The General figured, "I beleive I'll need some help." With that he waved
a hand in the air and an army of magical soldiers came out of nowhere and
stared to attack.
"Akk, where did they all come from?" Katie
asked as she unshethed her katanas and started fighting.
"Who cares... Let's just get the jerk that sent
them!" Kento yelled as he let loose his sure kill, "IRON ROCK CRUSHER!!!!!"
The sure kill distroyed several of the soldiers only to be replaced by
more.
"Hmm.. a warrior that can use the earth he stands
on in an attack. I wonder it the others have similar attacks?" The General
wondered to himslef. He gave an unspoken command. The soldiers then attack
harder seperating the six warriors. Cye unable to keep them back unleashed
his sure kill.
"SUPER WAVE SMASHER!!!!!" The others soon followed.
"FLARE UP NOW!!"
"ARROW SHOCK WAVE!!!"
"THUNDER BOLT STRIKE!!!
"EARTH ELEMENTAL BLAST!!!!
"Hmm... so the others fight with water, fire, air,
nature, and then the last with a combination of the five. This might prove
intersting..." The General thought. With another unspoken command he and
the soldiers dissapeared.
"What? Where'd he go?" Kento asked
"I have a bad feeling about all this." Katie said
as she banished her armor and subarmor.
"I agree. Something bad is going to happen" Rowen
said as he and the others banashed theirs and looked toward where the General
stood.
