The New Battle Reborn

By Anna of Star Wildfire

Episode 3 - The Rose Faith

The cherry blossoms, lots of them, are flying in dark. The Inferno helmet appeared. The cherry blossoms are still flying around the helmet. A face appeared in the Inferno helmet. The last cherry blossom is flying, past the helmet. The face disappeared. After the face disappeared, the helmet disappeared, too.

Anna woke up in middle night. The dream. It's hope. And my hope. Thought Anna.

"I need fresh air." said in her soft voice. She got up and walked to the window door. The moonlight hit her pink subarmor, and make her hair look like more brown than black. Her hair is down. Anna took her bow off when going to bed. The dream have hope and faith. Anna is learning hope and faith from her dream. How do I find Inferno? All I know he has blue eyes, but what color is his hair? Thought Anna. Maybe the Rose Faith may help. Anna closed her eyes. Inside her mind, a brown path and lots of roses next to path. It's so dark, but can see roses and path. She kept walking until the path ended. The woman had a white skirt and purple sleeveless shirt. She had long black hair that touched the path. She didn't turn her back when Anna appeared.

"What is it, Anna?" said woman.

"Three things." said Anna.

"Go ahead."

"One, how's rainbow rose?"

"Still didn't open its bud."

"Two, how's Jabu?"

"Mad at Talpa for not letting him go to fight you."

"Three, which person who have Inferno armor?"

"I can't answer that question." The woman turned her head back.

"Why?" said Anna.

"You will meet him in the morning." The woman disappearing. The roses and path are disappearing, too. Anna woke up and found herself laying on the floor next to the window door. I'll find a way to free you. I'll take you away from the monster. Oh Jabu, I miss you so much! Thought Anna. A hand touch Anna's shoulder.

"Eeeee!" Anna jump back and ready to attack.

"Easy, Anna! It's me!" said Ryo.

"Oh, sorry." said Anna.

"Um, Anna?"

"Yes, Ryo?"

"Will you tell me what my dream means?"

"Ok. Tell me about your dream."

"In my dream, I saw a woman," began Ryo.

"She had black hair that touched the ground. She had a white skirt and purple sleeveless shirt. She said,'Don't be sad, or rose will die.' " Anna think a minute.

"Is something making you sad?" said Anna.

"No, but I'm upset when your brother join Talpa's side."

"And?"

"And..." Ryo sigh, looking at window door.

"And I'll not let something happen to Jabu. I'll mad at Terry or Talpa for taking your brother away from you, again." said Ryo, looking at Anna. She stood and was shocked.

"Oh, Ryo. That is so sweet for you say that." Anna walk and hug Ryo. You smell like rose. Thought Ryo. He put his arm around Anna's back. Ryo put his hand on her hair. Your hair feels so soft. Thought Ryo.

"Yooo! Way go, guys!" said Kento. Anna and Ryo are shocked and let go.

"Woo! Wait until guys heard that!" said Kento.

"Can I borrow your pillow?" said Anna.

"Sure." said Ryo. Anna pick Ryo's pillow up and throw it to Kento. The pillow hit Kento's face. His legs are in air.

"Anna is good fighter and good arm! Owww!" said Kento.

"Oh, I don't feel like cooking something today." said Mia, rub her eyes.

"If you don't feel like cook, I will cook." said Anna. The boys are surprise and their eyes are big.

"What???" said Anna.

"You can cook?" said Cye.

"Yes. I think about making French toast." said Anna.

"Yaaaaaayyyyyy!!!!" said everybody.

"So you like eat French toast, I'm glad. It will be ready in few minutes." She walk to the kitchen. She took her pan out. The French toast is cooking. Oh Jabu! I miss you so much! Thought Anna. What if something happen to you? If it does, it mean I never see you again? Anna start cry. Lots of tears out of her eyes. It almost like her eyes are a water hose. Anna, get grasp of yourself! Thought Anna. She stop cry. Maybe I use my hope or something free Jabu. Or Inferno may help. Thought Anna. She smell something burn.

"AAAAHHHH!!!!" Her eyes are big when the French toast caught on fire. Anna took the pan in the sink, and turn water on. Oh my gosh. It is my first time to burn something. Thought Anna. She make another one.

"Mmmm, that odd. I feel like somebody is watching me." said Anna.

"That is right, sis." said Jabu.

"What if she free you?" said light blue hair girl, put her arms around Jabu. His light brown eye brow rise. She is a year younger than Jabu. Jabu turn around and put his arms around girl's side.

"If, Icy, I tell her to free you." said Jabu.

"You are leader. Will you take me with you?" said Icy. She didn't have legs, but have half light blue fish tail. She can stand on it and move.

"Ok, but be careful. I don't want something happen to you." said Jabu.

"Oh, Jabu." She kiss him.

"Warlords! You have a meeting now!!" said Talpa.

"I hope Talpa let you go with me." They left the room.

"You fail me, Batty!" said Talpa.

"It is not my fault. And you didn't tell me she is a girl!!" said Batty. The two men are laughing.

"SHUT UP!!!!!" said Batty. Jabu and Icy appearing.

"Jabu! Please, give me another chance!" said Batty.

"Later." said Jabu. His words kill Batty.

"What is your order, Jabu?" said Talpa.

"My order is Icy and I go fight Ronin Warriors."

"Ok. Don't you dare fail me!" said Talpa.

"Armor of Unicorn!"

"Armor of Ice!"

Back Anna's house, they always ate their breakfast. Something crossed Anna's mind. The same woman is now in her mind.

"Be careful. Jabu and Icy are coming now. About Icy, she is your brother's lover." said woman, disappearing.

"Are you ok?" said Cye.

"Jabu and Icy are coming." said Anna.

"Ok!! I'll be ready to fight!" said Kento.

"NO!!" said Anna. Everybody look at her.

"I don't want somebody to fight or hurt my brother! And Icy, too!" said Anna.

"Guys, my order is not hurt somebody Anna don't want to." said Ryo.

"What?? Are you crazy? What if Anna is one of five warlords?" said Kanto.

"Kento!!!" said Cye.

"Don't you dare say that!" said Ryo. Anna shocked. She remember something from her past. She is warlord once. She fell for spell to become warlord, but her best friend, Sea, saved her, before the three girls find out. Anna get out of her chair and walk out of the window door.

"Way go, Kento." hiss Mia.

"What?" said Kento.

"My grandfather's computer say she is warlord once, but Anna is under the spell. Her best friend, Sea, is the one who broke the spell. The other girls didn't know about that. Anna and Sea didn't tell them about it. Anna afraid they don't let Anna become their leader, so that is why Sea and Anna didn't tell somebody about it." said Mia, take deep breath.

"That is awful. Is Anna try get away from spell?" said Cye.

"She did, but can't." said Mia.

"Hey,where is Ryo?" said Sage.

Ryo heard the whole story. He feel sorry to Anna. I wish Kento shut up. Thought Ryo.

"Kento is right, but I'm not warlord anymore. It just a spell." said Anna. She know Ryo is coming.

"Look, Anna, Kento didn't know about it." said Ryo.

"I never forgot that day."

"Look Anna, don't talk about it." The tears running down on Anna's check.

"Just don't listen him." Ryo hug Anna. She stop cry. Anna looking at Ryo for long time. Your eyes color is same as the face in Inferno helmet! Thought Anna. Is it mean you are the one who have Inferno armor?

"Surprise lovebirds!!" said Jabu. His armor is purple. He is sleeveless, but have shields on his arms, that long until end of his hands. His helmet is shaped like unicorn's head. It's eyes are yellow. Its horn is white. Jabu laugh.

"Jabu!" said Ryo.

"And Icy!" said Icy. Her armor was shaped like spikes. Icy's helmet was shaped the same, too.

"What do you want?" said Anna. The wind blowing her hair. The dark clouds still cover the sky, since the first day of new battle.

"You." said Jabu.

"What?" said Anna.

"Oh no. You don't." said Ryo, blocking Anna's way. Anna is shocked. She remembered Fire product her since fight the evil.

"I'll not let you take Anna!" said Fire.

"Yes, I will." said Talpa. Fire change to Talpa.

"Fire!" said Anna. Fire turned his head at Anna, and turned his head.

"I want Anna!!" said Jabu.

"Never!!!" said Ryo, change to Jabu. Does it mean Fire is Ryo's self? Or not? Thought Anna. The black hair woman said,"Anna! Snap it out! Go fight!" Anna gasp, shook her head.

"Ryo!" said Anna. Ryo fights Jabu, but Icy's tail hit Ryo's back. Ryo hit on the ground.

"Ryo! Hang on! I'm coming!" said Anna, running to Ryo to see if he is ok. But Icy stopped her.

"Ice freeze!" said Icy. The ice come out of her hand. Ryo had a bad feeling.

"Anna!!" said Ryo. Anna is trapped inside the ice!

"Anna! Noo!!" said Ryo, look at Anna. I must save her!! Thought Ryo. But how?

"Your turn!" said Icy.

"Ice-..." A arrow hit in the ground in front of Icy.

"Don't you dare hurt our friends!" said Rowen. He is now in armor. Cye, Kento, and Sage are in armor, too. Cye saw Anna trapped in ice.

"How long has she been out?" said Cye.

"About a few minutes." said Ryo.

"If she is out too long, she will die!" said Cye.

Inside the ocean, the water is calm. The bubbles, lots of them, are rising up. Anna don't know where she is. A voice inside Anna's head.

"Barrier of fire wall. Heat, fire, burn and other things like that." The ocean and bubbles are disappearing.

What does that mean? Hey, wait a minute. Fire? My Fire up now? Barrier of fire wall? Wait a minute. Fire wall around me like barrier. That is it! Thought Anna. She use her mind.

'Wall of fire burn!' The ice will break.

"What? But how?" said Icy.

"Easy. Use new attack." said Anna.

"Anna, transform." said Ryo. Anna gasp. Ryo wear Inferno armor!

"Right. Armor of Star Wildfire Don Jan!" said Anna, now wear her armor.

"Jabu, you think I can't fight you, but you are wrong." said Anna.

"Don't you dare! Ice freeze!" said Icy, but missed.

"Wall of fire burn!" said Anna. Again. Thought Anna. The fire wall around her. And point her swords at Icy. The fire wall is coming at Icy.

"Aaaaahhhh!!!" cried Icy. After the attack, Icy disappeared.

"Icy! Noo! You! You pay for this!" said Jabu, disappearing.

"Whoa! Is it new attack?" said Kento.

"Yes. It's odd. Sea call her attack, and my attack is the same thing. Her attack is 'Wall of water wet.' " said Anna.

"Maybe she wants you to learn the new attack." said Ryo.

"Or something else." said Anna.

Jabu stands on sand, waiting for Icy.

"I will make her pay for this!" said Jabu.

"Hey, wait a minute. If... if. The history said Talpa's old warlords are kidnapped three warriors, and Ryo, Rowen, and White Blaze are coming to save their friends, but fell for many traps. That's it!"

"That's it what?" said Icy.

"I'm going to tell Talpa we will be kidnapping four boys. So Anna, Ryo, and White Blaze are coming to save, but the all traps are ready." said Jabu.

"Ooo! Love this plan!" said Icy.

"Glad you hear that."

"I heard that plan!! I want you to do it now!!" said Talpa.

"How did Talpa hear our plan???" said Icy.

"Beat me." said Jabu, scratching his head.

"They will return." said Anna.

"After you wipe them out?" said Rowen. Ronin Warriors' armor back subarmor.

"I thought you don't want to fight Icy." said Sage.

"Well, after she freeze me. Maybe I will fight Jabu." said Anna.

"If you want to, it's your chooses." said Ryo. White Blaze lay his head on Anna's lap.

"Purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr." said White Blaze. He liked Anna to scratch behind his ear.

"White Blaze! Let play!" said Yuli. White Blaze look at him and stuck his tongue at him. His behavior killed Yuli.

"Purrrrrrrrrr." said White Blaze, back to scratch business. Anna has sweatdrops, Ryo too.

"I'm hungry!" said Kento.

"But it's half hour pass breakfast!" said Anna.

"I know!" said Kento.

"Does Kento go to the bathroom all time?" said Anna.

"Yes." said Cye. They are laugh.

"I heard that!" said Kento. He make a funny face, and go to bathroom.

"See what I mean." said Anna. They are laughing. The ground start shake. They look at Kento coming out. He's happy. Anna, Ryo, Rowen, Sage, Cye, and White Blaze look each other.

"So that why our house shake all time." said Sage. They are heard noise from bathroom.

"I feel evil hope!" said Anna. Something out and coming to Anna. But Cye cover her. Something grab Cye's leg.

"Aaaahhh!!" said Cye.

"Cye! I got you!" said Anna, hold Cye's arms.

"Kento! What you eat??!!?" said Anna.

"It's wasn't me!" said Kento.

Cye's face turn into bright red.

"Why's your face change?" said Anna.

"I never have a girl who hold me like this." said Cye.

"After this, we just forgot the whole thing." said Anna.

"Deal." said Cye.

Kento helped Anna to pull Cye.

"What we do? I mean they can fight it." said Talpa.

"Never fear, bro. My beam will do it." said Terry.

The beam hit Anna. She lay on floor, pass out.

"Anna!" said Ryo, running to Anna. Something pull Cye and Kento.

"Cye! Kento!" said Ryo. Something came out and grab Ryo and Anna. Rowen and Sage fright it. It let Ryo and Anna go. It back up and grab Rowen and Sage. The four boys and something disappeared.

"Rowen! Sage! Cye! Kento! Nooo!!!!" cried Ryo.
