Seconds seem to tick by and slowly loosing consciousness as her vision started to fade to black, "Grand Father....I am...sorry." She thought feeling her hands going limp, simply falling to her sides. A loud roar sounded thus quickly releasing her, "Gotcha!" A voice called catching her falling body and gently tapped her cheek. "Hey....come on....hey Star!" The voice called out making her come to with a sudden gasp for air, sitting up swiftly coughing and trying to suck in as much air as she could. "Thanks for the sav- What the hell are you doing here?!" Star growled out seeing Ryo knelt down next to her, had she not sent him a different way? How did this guy find her with such ease? "Geez is that the thanks I get for saving you again?" He growled back quickly catching Star off guard and watched as he stood up holding the now broken broom handle.

"Wait there is no way you can take that monster head on!" Star called out pushing her self up but stopped seeing Ryo look back at her with a smile, "I may not be a match for it but I am not about to let it hurt my friend." He spoke in a soft tone making Star reach up, touching her necklace fully unaware of how the red gem was fully glowing bright like a shining star. "...Ryo...." She muttered watching as he ran at the evil monster who stood up and aiming one of its black arms at him, "The will to fight......to defend the weak....Ryo could you be......the armor of...." Star thought biting her lip wanting to speak it but felt something was holding her back.

Gripping onto the necklace tighter then started to push her self forward, "Damn it all to hell!" She yelled running forward watching as the evil monster hit Ryo in the chest knocking him back. Everything happen so fast leaving Star to wonder why she even started moving in the first place, jumping between the two catching the arm of the monster who had aimed another hit for Ryo, "Is that all you got?" She grunted out struggling to hold the monster back. Slowly looking over her shoulder at Ryo who stared with wide eyes at her, "You talk of saving someone...but do you have the will and the flame to carry threw with that?" Star grunted feeling her self being pushed back.

Lowly growling as she started pushing back her self, if this didn't work out then not only would she more then likely lose her own life but then so would Ryo, "You called me friend thus the same can be said for me." She growled out threw gritted teeth as anyone could see her feet being pushed back.

Ryo blinked staring wide eyed but gripped his hands into tight fits standing up, his red eyes taking a shine all on their own, he smirked as if he knew what she had said and slowly nodded. Seconds merely passed when the red gem on the necklace shone brighter then it had thus breaking free from its hold and flying towards Ryo, reaching his hand out catching the flying red light that shone bright it cause the others to shield their eyes. The light surrounded Ryo, casting him in a roaring flames of red, orange, and yellow colors, once the light died down, it showed Ryo standing in shining red armor. The metal shone brightly in the light of the flame surrounding him, taking a stance caused it to clank softly.

It covered his whole body like some kind of body suit but made of metal instead, upon his head sat a helmet with a symbol for fire, it reminded Star of armor from olden time Japan war lords. She had only seen pictures of the armors before but now she was seeing it with her own eyes, well at least one of them and it looked even better in person!

"The armor of Fire." Star muttered staring in awe, forgetting she was in the middle of battle like an airhead. A loud roar reached her ears and her body was slammed into near by wall of lockers as the monster rushed pass aiming for Ryo, who seem to stand still as if waiting, yet as the monster drew closer the light around Ryo grew. "You who have been mis-lead by the darkness.....face the light and return to where you're from!" Ryo talked calmly reaching onto his back pulling out a katana, a split second both charged one other and a small white light filled the area then swiftly dying out. The two stood still as time ticked by, the monster fell flat onto the ground slowly disappearing to reveal Saburo laying on the ground out cold. Carefully sheathing his katana and watching as the red armor slowly disappeared, looking at his hands then like a light bulb sparking in his mind. Throwing his head around til his red eyes spotted what they were seeking, running over then dropping to his knees carefully lifting the young girl's body, "Hey Star you okay?" He asked softly.

Slowly opening her own silver eyes and looking up smiling, "He he sorry about that." She coughed a bit and winced feeling the pain from having met the metal lockers moments ago. "What was all of that?" Ryo asked with confusion plain on his face, "I'll explain later when I can explain better, we should at least get him to the nurses office and finish out the school day." Star muttered, pushing her self up and Ryo nodded before walking over lifting an unconscious Saburo. A pair of dark green eyes had been watching the battle taking place, threw a crystal ball that cracked then shattered into tiny pieces when the bright white light shone. "It seems that someone is trying to bring the heroes back, yet it will not last long." A low voice spoke growling lowly only having caught the very end of the battle, long blonde hair shifted when the body moved and walked away from the near by desk.

She never caught sight of who was the armor of fire or who he had been helping, that remains a mystery to her for now. "I will find who has the armors and they shall give their lives up to our great master!" She thought giving an amused chuckle.

"This world will be filled with darkness and these humans will learn the true meaning of fear." A voice spoke looking out a near by window when a loud school bell rung, many students filled the school yard smiling or laughing without a care in the world.
