Anubis was in Talpa's throne
room, kneeling before him. He
wished he could escape punishment, but he knew that wouldn't
happen. First, he let the Ronins escape. Second, he disobeyed
master Talpa. Third, he talked back to his master. These three
actions combined would receive major punishment. Talpa's eyes
began to glow red.
"You think you can survive
without me Anubis? I banish you to
the mortal realm!" Anubis gasped as the red energy shot
at him and
he suddenly disappeared. Talpa laughed. "A few days alone
without
his armor should do him some good. Perhaps he will realize who
his
master is." He laughed again before disappearing himself.

Mia was standing at the top
of the water fall, looking down and
admiring its beauty. This was one of her past-times. Whenever
she
wanted to be alone she would come up here. Sometimes she would
swim,
but she didn't feel like it right now. She just wanted to escape
the
Ronins or awhile. All of them were in hormone overdrive so, naturally,
Mia was their target. She sighed and listened to the quietness
around
her. Talpa hadn't attacked in days, maybe she shouldn't be here
all
alone. She had wondered a lot farther than she intended to and
had
never been to this waterfall. She sighed.
Out of nowhere, someone or
something came falling out of the sky
and hit the water hard. She winced slightly and looked out over
the
waterfall's edge. She couldn't let the poor thing drown. If
it
was a person, maybe they could help the Ronins. No use in letting
it die. She took a deep breath and jumped off the edge. She
hit
the water with a splash and opened her eyes under the crystal
clear
water. There was the thing that fell out of the sky and into
the
water. She quickly grabbed it and brought it to the surface.
Without even looking, she pulled it to the shore. She laid it
down
on the shore and it coughed slightly. She looked over and let
out
a small shreik.
The red haired man looked
over at her, then struggled to his knees
in surprise
"You!" She yelled.
"I guess I could have let you drown huh?"
She received a harsh glare from the warlord of cruelty. Mia jumped
up to her feet and left the warlord, still catching his breath
and on
his hands and knees on the shore.
~Great!~ She thought as she
walked quickly. ~My new skirt is wet
and so is my shirt!~ She looked down at herself. She was soaking
wet!
Her new short, black skirt was drenching wet and her white, spaghetti
strapped shirt was now wet, not to mention see through. She kept
walking, her wet hair sending drops of water onto her back. She
stopped when someone grabbed her by the arm and turned her swiftly
around. She gasped when she came face to face with Anubis in his
subarmor.
"Where do you think you're
going you little wench?" He said through
gritted teeth. Mia trembled slightly.
"I'm going home that's
where I'm going!" She ripped her arm out
of his grasp and started of back towards her home.
"Look out!" Shouted
Anubis. He grabbed her arm again and pulled
her violently towards him. She gasped when an arrow almost his
her and
found herself gripping the warlord's arms. Anubis wasn't paying
attention, he was looking up at the trees and gritting his
teeth.
"Soldiers." He
said lowly. "Damn! I can't call my armor." He
looked down at Mia, who was uneasily trying to wiggle away from
him.
Another arrow came towards them and Anubis grabbed her arm and
ran
towards the river. He looked behind them and saw tons of soldiers.
Too many for them to fight. ~Maybe I should leave the girl and
escape.~
He thought. ~No, keep her. Talpa may be pleased to find that
I've
captured the girl.~
"We're getting out of
here." He jumped into the river, pulling
Mia with him. She glared at him and protest, but didn't have
time
to act. They were heading towards the next water fall. Anubis
grabbed
onto her and pulled her to him, then they both fell down the water
fall.
The soldiers looked for any
sign of them, but after a few minutes,
no one came to the surface. They all returned to the Nether world,
bringing news of their death.
