‘thoughts’

/telepathic speech/

The world was in confusion at the happenings in the city of Shinjuku.  The Japanese government and military decided then to send in several troops, hoping in that false hope that their power would be greater than this latest threat.

Genaisa watched silently as the military’s airforce flew towards the besieged city.  She frowned thoughtfully as she watched them slowly lose their power, falling fast.  Suddenly, she saw the youja that were waiting and tensed.

The pilot looked up from the failing gauges and cried out as he saw an armored soldier in front of him.  The soldier held up his blade and neatly sliced through the helicopter.  The pilot screamed, and then blinked as he looked around.  Strong arms were around his waist and he turned his head to look into intense violet eyes. “I suggest that if you and your comrades wish to live, leave this place before anything else happens.”  The young woman looked at him seriously, her voice filled with certainty and a faint tone of command as she let him go. 

Swallowing hard, the pilot stumbled back slightly and asked, “Who are you?  What is going on here?”

The young woman replied softly, “You are in over your head.  Get out of here and leave this to those of us chosen to fight.”  The pilot looked at her, and then smiled slightly.  Saluting sharply, he turned and ran swiftly, heading for the other troops.  Genaisa sighed softly in frustration, then jumped up and ran along the rooftops.

*~~**~~*

Touma sighed softly as he looked around at the empty streets of Shinjuku.  Looking over then at his blond haired companion, he snapped in frustration, “Aw c’mon now!  What are we standing around here for?!”

Seiji looked up and smirked slightly, “We can’t go storming Arago’s castle, Touma.”  Looking over at the floating fortress, the blond Trooper added softly, “I never knew the Youjakai held so much power.”  Looking back at Touma, he asked, “Besides, why do you want to rush in so bad?”

Touma smirked at him and replied as he closed one eye, “An eye for an eye that’s all I ask.”  Suddenly, he looked up at the roof, startled.  Seiji stiffened as he gazed at Touma.

“What is it, Touma?” Seiji asked quietly and turned slightly when he heard a can clink along the barren street and a cat meowed.

Touma frowned as he stared up at some shadows on the roof above them.  Looking back down, he shrugged self-consciously and answered, “Aw it was nothing.  Must have been my imagination.  But I could have sworn we were being watched.” 

Genaisa silently watched them from the shadows, a slight smile playing on her lips as she gazed at the two. ‘So…Touma Hashiba sensed I was here.  Interesting. I wonder how he was able to do that?’ she thought to herself in amusement, and then moved silently away from the two as they continued their watch.

*~~**~~*

Byakuen silently watched as Arago destroyed the troops outside the city.  Suddenly, his ears pricked forward at a noise and he growled menacingly.  A soft voice floated to him and he relaxed. “Easy Byakuen….it’s me.”  Looking over at the shadows, he saw the shape of a golden armored figure appear, long raven hair flowing around a feminine body.  Locking eyes with the violet eyes of his old friend, Byakuen purred as he walked over to her, leaning into her gentle caresses.

/Genaisa…I have missed you./  His soft tenor voice connected with her mind and she smiled gently as she wrapped her arms around his neck.

/I have missed you too, old friend,/ she replied softly as they stayed close together.

/Has Kaos ordered that you keep your identity a secret?/ he asked softly as they sat down, Genaisa between his paws as they gazed solemnly at the troops outside the city.  She nodded mutely, her eyes filled with sadness as she looked upon the destruction. 

“Stupid fools.  When will they learn to listen,” she muttered softly and sighed.  Suddenly, she stiffened and sat up.  Standing swiftly, she explained to Byakuen, “Kaos is calling me.  I must go to him.”  Byakuen nodded and watched as she disappeared. 

Turning slightly, he returned to his post, listening to the chattering down below.

*~~**~~*

Jun watched silently as the warriors in front of him rested or ate.  They all looked up as the young woman murmured softly, “The Youjakai’s power is greater than I had imagined.  It is more than the city that is in danger.”  She looked at the young boy next to her and added, “Don’t worry.  I’m sure your mom and dad will be alright.”

The young boy looked at them and asked softly, “Do you think my mom and dad will be alright?”

The young man in red stated softly, “Don’t worry.  We’ll get them back. I’ve sworn to crush the Youjakai’s master.”

“What do you say I give you a hand and we can beat them back into the hole they came out of,” the orange clad youth commented with a smirk.

Nodding as he smiled at the raven-haired young man, the young boy pointed at himself. “My name is Yamano Jun. What’s yours?” he queried hesitantly and the other boy smiled.

“Nice to meet you, Jun.  You can call me Ryo,” Ryo replied reassuringly and then Jun looked at the orange armored warrior who was stuffing his face.

The large youth swallowed and responded, “And my name is Rei Faun Shu.  You ever heard of the Samurai Troopers kid, well that’s us.”

Jun smiled slightly then looked over at the slender redhead near Shu.  “And you are?” he asked and the youth smiled at him.

“My name’s Mouri Shin. Don’t worry, Jun, we’ll get your parents back,” the slender Shin said soothingly and Jun nodded.

Smiling gently, the red haired girl commented, “And here I thought that heroes didn’t exist.  Now we have the Samurai Troopers protecting us.”

They all looked up as the green armored and blue armored came back down the stairwell.  Ryo nodded to the two and Shu questioned, “Well? What’s it looking like up there?”

Touma shrugged as they came up. “Eh it’s desolate up there,” he answered and looked around.

Seiji nodded and added, “Well, looks like we’re spending the night down here. Alright?” The others nodded, and then Ryo frowned.

“What about that guy that helped us yesterday?  Any sign of him?” Ryo asked softly and the two newcomers looked at each other.

“Well…not with our sight, but I swear I felt someone watching us,” Touma replied and Shu snorted.

“Well, one would think so with the Youjakai all around us,” he said sarcastically and Touma shook his head, smirking.

*~~**~~*

Genaisa came up onto a rooftop and looked around.  She watched silently as the militia sent in more troops.  Her eyes sad as she watched them each get destroyed by their own power, she failed to hear a soft clanging noise behind her.

“You have done well, my child.”  The soft voice caused the warrior to gasp and spin around.

Genaisa smiled joyfully as she saw Kaos and ran to him, feeling him enfold her into his arms.  Petting her hair soothingly, Kaos smiled gently down at her.  “Master.  I did as you asked.  I helped the Troopers.  But are you sure they are the ones?” she asked as she stood and looked at him.  Tilting his head in curiosity, Kaos said nothing as she continued, “I mean…they almost lost and…” Her voice trailed off and she sighed as she looked at him.

“My dear child.  You must have patience.  They will, in time, grow into their strength,” Kaos replied soothingly then looked up. 

Genaisa looked up as well and looked wary.  “The Youjakai has sent one of their own,” she said softly and Kaos nodded.  Turning to him, she asked, “Should I go…in case they need me?”  Kaos nodded once and watched as she disappeared, running swiftly across the rooftops like they were connected.  Slowly, he followed her, knowing what she planned on doing if need be.

*~~**~~*

Nasuti looked out at the damage done by the Youjakai. “The military didn’t stand a chance against the power of the Youjakai.  The fools,” she muttered softly and Ryo came up beside her.

The Trooper leader commented softly, “You seem to know a lot about the Youjakai.  What’s your name again?”

“My name is Nasuti.  Yagiyu Nasuti.  I am a teaching aide at the University in Ancient folklore and weapons.  Stuff our parents thought we could use someday,” she replied with a soft sad smile.

Ryo nodded and then they all looked up as Byakuen came down the stairs.  Stiffening in wariness, the Troopers watched the tiger as it growled softly in warning.  Ryo came forward and asked softly, “Byakuen…is it over?”  But then they all heard a growing pounding, coming for where they were.  The Troopers moved swiftly into a defensive circle around Nasuti and Jun as they waited. 

“Is it them?”  Touma asked softly and Ryo nodded once.  They all tensed as the footsteps stopped almost above them.  Suddenly, the roof exploded, raining concrete around them.  Jun and Nasuti cried out in fear and the Troopers drew closer to them.  Looking up, they recognized one of the Mashos as he stood above them.  A cruel laugh echoed down to them and they drew even closer together protectively as they watched the crack in the pavement above them grow.

The Masho pulled on his chain, widening the fault until they were exposed completely to him.  ‘I knew it! She’s with them!’ he thought triumphantly to himself as he laughed again.

The Troopers looked up at the Masho and Ryo shouted, “Who are you? Identify yourself!” But the Masho ignored his order as he looked at the two non-armored bystanders and smiled wickedly.  Jun and Nasuti held each other tighter in fear as they saw his gaze rest on them.  

Touma looked at and shouted, “He’s after them!”

Seiji nodded and suggested, “We need to protect them.” 

The others nodded and brought their arms up.  “Form the Circle!” Shin shouted and they began to run around the two humans and tiger.

Bringing their arms up in the form of calling on their yoroi, the Troopers stopped at five points around the three.  Ryo shouted as they brought down their arms, “Circle…Of….LIGHT!”

“GI!”

“CHI!”

“REI!”

“SHIN!”

“JIN!”

As they shouted the virtues that were their souls, their yoroi appeared before them, copying their stances and positions.  The yoroi then separated from the five and all ten brought their arms down.  Bright beams of light formed between the yoroi and the Troopers, forming an impenetrable shield around the three.  The Troopers then jumped out of the circle and went to the surface, surrounding the Masho quickly.

Laughing evilly as he swung his kusari gama above his head, the Masho watched them as they surrounded him confidently.  “You’re Shuten, aren’t you?” Ryo asked softly as he brought his arms up defensively. 

Shuten’s smirk grew and he stated snidely, “Samurai Troopers, do you really think you can defeat me?”  The Troopers glared at him and circled him warily.  Suddenly, Shuten threw his scythe at them. 

The Troopers cried out as they dodged and then attacked.  Shuten defended himself, laughing evilly the whole time and smashed them into the walls, concrete, or his own knee.  The Troopers pulled back and Shuten laughed again.  “Troopers…you truly are in over your head.  Be sure to send me a card…from the underworld,” he declared cruelly, then jumped into the sky.  “Kou….Rai….SEN!” he cried out as he sent his kusari gama plunging towards the earth below the Troopers.  They cried out in alarm as the earth began to tremble under their feet and bright red lights shot up out of the earth.  Soon, to their shock, they were suspended above the ground, pinned by chains.

Shuten’s laughter taunted them as he watched them try to break free. “You may as well give up, Samurai Troopers.  Without your yorois’ powers, you are helpless!” he proclaimed and laughed again.

Jun shouted at Ryo, “Ryo, call the Troopers to arms!  Break the circle!” 

Ryo looked over at Jun and said, “I’m…trying to, Jun…” 

Shuten laughed again, but then a soft voice from above floated down. “Mind telling me what’s so funny, Masho?”

“Nani?”  Shuten looked up and, along with the Troopers, saw the mysterious warrior that had helped them before.  He jumped down and landed between the Masho and the Troopers and glared at Shuten.  Shuten’s smirk widened. “So, you’ve come to watch them die and join them, Koganeiro* Samurai?” he asked snidely and the warrior’s eyes narrowed dangerously.

“Be wary, Masho.  For you won’t be laughing for long,” he replied warningly, and then attacked, catching the Masho off guard.  Shuten grunted as he was slammed into a wall and the warrior smirked.  “I don’t hear you laughing, Masho,” he added snidely and Shuten snarled as he came out from the ruin of the wall he had just crashed into.

“You will pay dearly, Koganeiro Samurai,” Shuten snarled, but the warrior just smirked as a clanging sounded from above. “Nani?!”  Shuten shouted as he looked up and watched as a monk threw a staff in the middle of the circle of yoroi protecting Nasuti, Jun, and Byakuen.

They all watched as the circle disappeared in a bright flash of light.  The Troopers gasped in surprise as their powers were returned to them.  Taking out one of his sais, the warrior threw it, breaking the chains holding the Troopers.  The warrior smirked at Shuten as Ryo called the Troopers to arms and they all landed around the two.  He saluted Shuten and commented mockingly, “Been nice knowing you, Masho.  Just hope the Troopers will be nice to you.”  With that, he flipped over them, grabbing his sai before landing inside of the hole before a staring Jun and Nasuti.  He smiled at them, then grasped the staff and, in a flash of shimmering white, disappeared before their eyes.

“Whoa!  Where did he go?!” Shu asked as they looked at the area the golden warrior had disappeared.

“And why didn’t he free us right away?” Seiji asked softly as they turned to eye the furious Masho. 

Ryo shrugged, and then turned to the Masho.  “Well Shuten.  You were so tough when we didn’t have our full strength.  Let’s see how you handle us now,” he challenged confidently and Shuten snarled as he threw his kusari gama at them.

Genaisa watched from above, having returned the staff to Kaos.  He had left, confident in Genaisa’s ability to protect the Troopers, but as she watched, she had a good feeling she might not be needed.  She smirked slightly as she thought to herself, ‘Well…maybe I was wrong.  But they may still need me to watch over them.’

Ryo panted softly as he followed Shuten to the top of the building.  ‘I can’t fail in this.’  “Awaken my power Rekka no yoroi!” he cried out as he brought his katanas up. 

“Kou…Rai…SEN!” Shuten shouted out as he jumped into the air.  His kusari gama collided with Ryo and Ryo groaned in pain.  But his eyes flashed with determination and bright white light flashed around him, mixing with the red.

“Sou…En…ZAN!”  Ryo cried out.  A blast surrounded them and then Ryo was trapped within the chains.  His katana fell to the ground, breaking the chains as it fell, releasing Ryo, who dropped down the ground.

Shuten growled softly, and then saw that his covering had been sliced.  ‘He will pay for that,’ he thought to himself, and then growled.  He and Ryo stared at each other in challenge as the other Troopers came to Ryo’s aid.

“Ryo!  You ok?”  Touma cried out as he and Seiji landed next to their leader.  Shu and Shin landed in front of them and faced Shuten grimly.  Ryo groaned softly and fell to the ground.

The Troopers cried out, and then glared at the Masho.  “Shuten, we will have revenge,” Touma declared as they surrounded the Masho.

Suddenly, a heavy wind blew around them.  Dark lightening flashed as a deep voice stated, “Samurai Troopers.  You will not defeat me.”  A black tornado formed around them, pulling them together than apart.

Genaisa tried to not be pulled in, but then felt herself floating above the city, spinning, twisting.  A blast came between her and the Troopers and, before unconsciousness took her from the world of the waking, she saw that the yoroi had formed protective shields around their wearers.

Jun and Nasuti watched in horror as six glowing balls shot out from the tornado, scattering to different areas.  “Samurai Troopers!! Don’t go!! COME BACK!!” Jun shouted and evil laughter from the floating castle floated down to them.
