CHAPTER 4

Hiro was laying on a bed having a nightmare about he's previous battle against cessiar, the nightmare was so intense that he began to sweat and move around, when cessiar was about to raise his sword and delivered his final strike hiro woke up.

Hiro open his eyes and sat up in the bed, he looked around and notice that he was in a dark room "where am i and what was that....was i dreaming, it felt so real". he look at his hand confused, "that sword, that fightit felt so realand that girl". he tried to get up but he was still to weak."arghhh...what the!?". he felt a strange sensation on his body so he took the sheets of the bed and noticed that he was covered in bandages. "So it was real...i need to get up and find outwhat happenedand how i got in to this place". With slow steps he got out of bed, tremblimg with pain he procide to walk trying to reach the door, unaware of what awaited him.

He leaned againts the door frame trying not to fall, once out Hiro heard the voices of his friends and started to walk downstairs, one of his friends casey heard footsteps and turn to the hallway and saw that Hiro was walking towards them, she then rush to help him but at the same time she hug him feeling relax now that he was ok.

tears began to stream out of casey's as she said to Hiro: "thank goodness you're ok Hiro, i was so worried about you".

Hiro hug her back and gave casey a warm smile"its ok casey i'm fine now".

Casey help hiro walk slowly to the couch where Jason and Kyle were waiting for him.

Jason: "well look who decided to wake up, how are you feeling there bud?".

Hiro sat down and said: "well i feel like i got hit by a bus".

Kyle: "to be honest we thought that you were going to die, i mean you were in a really bad shape".

Hiro: look down on the floor thinking "you know for a moment there i thought that i was just having a nightmare,but now that i know that you are all here i know it was real, by the way where are we, this isin't the waterfall".

Jason, kyle and casey didn't know how to explain what happend so they just kept quiet, Hiro was a little worried that something was wrong but before he could say anything Hiro heard footspets coming towards them, he turned around and saw a girl walking to them, Hiro's eyes widen as he noticed that this girl had long silver hair and crystal blue eyes but also had two ears like a wolf and a tail that moves side by side, she was also wearing some strange clothes, she was wearing a long sleave blue shirt, dark pants and a white cape like if she was a mage.

Iris walk and sat down next to Hiro and said: "well it look's like yui's spell work after all, i mean you were in really bad shape".

Hiro still couldn't belive what he saw but he tried to look calm, " yes i feel much better, but who are you?".

Iris replied with a smile," oh where are my manners...my name is iris and before we continue with this conversationi have tosaythat i am very impressedwith what you did Hiro, you saved momonot once but twice, i would have never thought that a humansuch as yourselfcould had fought against those two".

Hiro and his friends kept quiet and didn't say a word , they where still a little too confuse.

Iris: "i know you have lots of questions about what happend yesterday, and i'm more than happy to answer all of them".

Hiro: "please iris, tell us, who were those two that attacked us and why they wanted to take momo away?".

Iris expresion change into a more serious tone and said: "there names are cessiar and cecilia...they are known for being ruthlessand destructive, their workis to expandthe kingdom of the shadowsthroughall around the world and kill anyone who stand in their way".

As iris explained what cessiar and celcilia's plans were...kyle, casey and jason look shocked.

Hiro: "why did they wanted to take momo?".

One of the girls was listening to the conversation and desided to join in, she jumped down the second floor and walked to them, Hiro noticed that she was different from iris, she had long red hair yellow eyes and a very serious expresion, her tail moved like a wip.

Asuka: "they wanted to take her as hostage so that we would give then the chaos crystal".

Hiro: " the chaos...crystal?".

Iris: "the chaos crystal is one of the most powerful gems in the entireuniverse, who ever can harnessits power could control the faithof the world...a long time ago before us there whereguardians that protected the choas crystal, but one day the shadow kingdom attacked our village and stole half of it, and now it's our job to protect the other half so that the shadow kingdom dosen't take control of the world".

Hiro: "so thats why they wanted momo".

"Wait i'm confused " said jason while they look at him, "where did all of this took placedbecausei don't rememberany of this in the history books or the internet".

Iris: "it happend many years ago and our story was never told so that know-one could search for the crystal".

Jason: "so if what your'e saying is true than that means that all of you are really really ol"...

Asuka draw her red katana and put it on jason's neck before he could even finish his sentence. "Say that we are old and i'll cut you down".

With a nerveous laughter while looking at the katana jason replied: "no, no you got it all wrong i wasn't gonna say that you were old i was just gonna ask how did all of this happend".

Casey had a thought and said: "so if all of you are from the past, then that means that all of you used the power of the chaos crystal to time travel here correct?".

All of the boys look at Casey and blink at the same time.

Casey blushed when all of them look at her. Well i mean that's one way to put it right".

Iris: "that's preciselyhow we got here,but it wasn't us the one who used the crystal, its was our". Iris closed her eyes as a tear stream from her eyes, asuka walked next to her and placed her hand on her shoulders.

Asuka spoke to them " it was our mother, she sacrificed her life in order to save ours".

Hiro was taken by her words and said: " i'm sorry about what happend".

Iris: "after that we where teleported to this place and lived here ever since with our grandmother who has been taking care of us".

Kyle: "so your'e grandmother has been taking care of all 6 of you all of this years?".

Iris smiled and replied: "she hasn't been taking care of all 6 of us... she's been taking care of all 12 of us".

Everyone's eyes widen and said at the same time: "ALL TWELVE OF YOU!?". Iris nodded,

Kyle shaked his head and said: " you mean to tell us that there's more of you, i mean other than the one's we saw yesterday?".

Hiro: speaking of witch where is momo?

With a happy look on her face momo came from the kitchen and jump in to Hiro's arms and gave him a hug so tight that Hiro's bones began to crack. " i'm so happy that your'e awake big brother" she nestle her head on his chest.

Hiro tried to talk but momo's hug was to strong. "Momo your'e hugging me to tight i can't breath".

Momo noticed and let him go but she was still holding his arms and smiling.

Iris: "well now that momo is here why don't we all go to the garden so that you can meet the rest of the girls".

All of them followed iris and asuka to the front door, as soon as the front door opened the sunlight revealed the most beautiful small valley they have ever seen, trees with color that never seen before, a small lake in the middle that was crystal clear and a garden with rarest roses ever seen. "Come follow me" said iris as she took them to where the girls were. As they got closer all of them heard the girls training, lily with her incredible speed was running through the lake, kana was cuting down practice dummy's, yuki was meditating and the rest were sparring.

Casey noticed kyle and jason had there eyes glued to them and smaked the back of their heads. "Stop staring like that and show some respect you two!".

Iris called their sister's " ok everyone gather aorund Hiro and his friends are here". They stoped with their training and walk to them, they form a line and kept quiet.

Jason whispered to kyle who was scared "they look like if their about to kill us".

Kyle whispered back to hason who was also scared "should we run" jason replied to him "dude i'm to scared to moved".

Casey: "you two are morons you know".

One by one iris introduced her sister's "everyone this are my sister's".

Akari (she had pink hair and blue eyes and a white katana that had pink pedals on the side). " nice to meet you".

Kana (she had blue hair and blue eyes she had a blue and black katana). "We are gald that you're ok"

Kaori (she had short purple hair yellow eyes and had a scythe). "Welcome to our garden".

Yui (she had long white hair and green eyes and was hokding a staff) "i'm glad that my spell worked".

Kazumi (she had cyan hair and eyes, she was holding a spell book). "Thanks for helping momo".

Lily ( she had long brown hair and yellow eyes and had a katana that sparked with electricity). "Next time be more careful, you almost die you idiot".

Yuki (she had long purple hair and yellow eyes and a sharp sword) "they way to fought cessiar was amazing".

Niko ( she had long orange hair and yellow eyes, she was holding a giant metal mallet) "i thought you look more stronger...no offense".

"And you already meet momo and asuka".

Jason: "wait a minute 1,2,3,4....7,8..there's only eleven of you

Niko: "look he know's how to count".

Kana bump niko's head with her fist "please excuse my sister she can be really annoying sometimes, the one your'e referring it's scarlet".

Kaori: "she hasn't been with us for a while".

Akari: "the last time we heard from her she was working for a top secret organization that hunts down the most dangerous criminals in the world".

Casey: "so she's a bounty hunter".

Niko approached Hiro and poke him on his cheek "did you really fought cessiar and cecilia?".

Hiro was confused by her question an said: "well yes i did, why do you ask?".

Niko: "no reason...it's just that you don't look like the type of person that could win against them thats all".

Akari: "come on nikko don't make fun of him just because he looks weak".

Momo got mad and stud infront of her sister and said: " stop making fun of Hiro, he risked his life to save mine even with the odds were against him, he didn't run away and kept his promise to keep me alive, so don't pick on him just because he looks soft!".

Hiro: momo i appreciate your words, but you're not helping".

Akari: "relax momo we are just joking".

Asuka: "what we really want to know is how Hiro got hold of the chaos blade".

"I would like to know that as well" all of them turned around and saw and old lady holding a fruit basket, "my name is rose but you can call me grandma". Rose aproached Hiro, "so you must be Hiro".

Hiro: "yes i am, its a pleaure to meet you ms. Rose"

Grandma rose chuckle when Hiro adress her as ms." Oh please you don't have to be so formal... call me grandma we are all a family here, let me have a good look at you". Rose gazed intently into his eyes, reading his soul." Such fire, it burns inside of you...such pure hearth, young men you have a great destiny ahead of you".

Hiro: "i'm sorry grandma rose but i'm not understanding anything that you are saying".

Grandma rose: " then let me show you what i'm mean...come follow me".

Everyone followed rose to the center of the garden but Hiro, who was still confused kept thinking about what rose said and sarted to talk inside his head "what did she mean when she said that i had a great destiny ahead of me, does this mean that she knows about the fight i had or about the strange sword that appeared that came out of knowere, i guess i have to wait to find out".

Rose stoped infront of the lake, "are you ready...Hiro?".

Hiro took a deep breath and said: "to be honest i...i...

Momo walked next to Hiro grabing his hand and smiled at him, "it's ok Hiro everything is going to be ok i promise".

Hiro smiled back feeling a little relieved and said: "ok i'm ready".

Rose: "very well then, let us begin".
