A New Beginning

Part 3

9. LOVERS MEET AGAIN

Destiny was dreaming again and she had the same dream. The
dream went further on though. This time Talpa was in it. He killed
everyone but her, Rowen, Cye, Sage, Kento, Ryo, and Caylob.
She awoke to the sound of her name being called out. It was
Seth with Ari and two dynasty soldiers. They we're taking her
back to see Talpa. Ari tied her up.

"Seth told me what you did to him yesterday, You won't do that
again with me," Ari snarled at Destiny.

"Well good morning to you too," Destiny said sarcastically. Ari
slapped her across the face. Seth shuttered at the sight.

"One more smart allic remark like that and I'll kill you myself,
now shut up and move it." Ari shouted. Destiny was good most
of the way, but when she got close to the thrown room door, she
kicked Ari and Seth down. The soldiers were knocked down by
them. Destiny ripped the ropes and ran for the other way. She
ran as fast as she could and could feel her gold chain necklace
banging against her chest. She had gotten it from Rowen for her
Birthday. She saw an opening with light coming from it. She ran
towards it and stopped to see at least 50 soldiers standing in
front of her. They were looking the other way at five armored
men who had a tiger with them. She recognized the tiger right
away. He saw her and roared for attention. The armored men
turned towards White blaze and they saw Destiny running right
towards the tiger. She stopped to see their faces. She ran for
Rowen like there was no tomorrow. Rowen saw the necklace
and noticed it was her.

"Rowen!!!!" She ran up to him, "Rowen!!!!"

"Destiny!!!!" He ran to get to her before anyone could get to her
before him. His armor disappeared just before he got to her. He
picked her up and swung her around. She hugged him back and
kissed him for a very long time. "I missed you so much,"

"I missed you even more," She replied as she hugged him. Even
through his subarmor he could feel her hugging him tightly. She
tried to back up to tell the others hi but her necklace was caught
on his subarmor.

10. CAPTURED

"There she is," Kayllyn yelled as they ran towards Destiny and
Rowen. Seth grabbed her and her necklace broke as he pulled
her away from Rowen. She reached for Rowen but before he
could grab her, Seth zapped her unconscious. Rowen went to
grab her but Aeva grabbed him. Sekhmet grabbed Cye and hit
him on the head. Sage was grabbed by Ari and she zapped him.
Ryo was grabbed by Cale but he was kept awake. Kento was
grabbed by Dais and he was kept awake as well. Kayllyn used
some magic dust to knock out White Blaze. Kayllyn looked up.

"Look we've gotten seven for the price of one, Master Talpa
will be very pleased with all of us," Kayllyn said as she picked up
White Blaze. Destiny woke up to find herself chained up in the
thrown room. She looked up and saw Rowen and the others
starring at her and chained to the other wall.

"Destiny," Rowen shouted at her. He still had her gold necklace
attached to his subarmor. He starred at her with love and worry
in his eyes. She had the same look in her eyes.

"Rowen," She said weakly. Talpa and his warriors rolled their
eyes.

"This is disgusting," Ari, Aeva, and Kayllyn synchronized. Seth
looked at his sister in surprise. She never thought that way
before until she broke up with that Jeff guy that cheated on her.
'Maybe that's why she came here, because she wanted revenge
by killing him, poor Ari' Seth thought to himself.

"Badamon come here now," Talpa yelled then the ghost from
the other day appeared in front of Destiny with a bottle of black
potion. Destiny closed her mouth tightly so he couldn't make her
drink it. He glared at her with so much hatred she suddenly felt
a cold breeze through her body. She shuttered at the feeling.

11. TRANSFORMED BY EVIL
"The potion and victim are ready now Master Talpa," Badamon
said shaking the bottle of potion in his hand. It suddenly turned
from black to a deep, deep blue color. "Shall I begin the torture?"

"Yes, are you ready to see your friends heart turn to black ronin
wimps?" Talpa said with a growl. "I think your heartache will be
very enjoyable to all of us, especially you Strata."

"Leave her alone," Rowen screamed as he saw Badamon walk
up to Destiny. Badamon stood there and started to chant. Rowen
then noticed that Destiny had a hypnotized look in her eyes. The
last thing anyone heard was Destiny call out to Rowen.

"Rowen, I love you," Destiny said before she was fully
hypnotized. Rowen starred at her then looked down at the
ground with tears in his eyes. Rowen had never cried in front of
anyone but Sage. Everyone starred at Destiny as she opened
her mouth and Badamon poured the drink in her mouth. Destiny
closed her mouth and swallowed it. Rowen looked up with tears
still coming down his face. He saw Destiny's head fall with her
eyes wide open and she was gasping for air. Her Kanji showed
up on her forehead and was flashing black and teal. Talpa
grinned evilly. He was very pleased with Badamon. Destiny
suddenly stopped breathing hard and closed her eyes. Her kanji
was black and her eyes shot open again. A black light filled the
whole room. The chains that held Destiny broke off.

When the black light cleared, everyone saw her changing. Her
hair got longer and then it turned into black like an Egyptian’s hair.
Her clothes turned into Egyptian clothes and her skin darkened to
the color of an Egyptians. She wore golden sandals and a
beautiful golden headpiece. Golden streaks ran through her hair
like shooting stars. Her kanji was gone. She had golden jewelry
on her arms and legs, and black markings on her everywhere.
Her breastplate was black with gold markings. She had a black
bikini bottom underneath her gold and black fishnet skirt. She
had gold and black makeup on her face. When she was done
transforming, everyone starred at her. She looked like an
Egyptian Princess. She opened her eyes and she starred at the
people in the room. Her eyes caught on the Ronin Warriors. Her
eyes glowed a bright yellow. Her eyes dimmed when she heard
Rowen's voice.

"Destiny," Rowen said with worry in his voice. She looked at
him with a confused look on her face.

"Do I know you?" She asked as she walked up to him. "You do
look familiar but I don't think I know you as a friend."

"You don't he's your enemy." Talpa said as he looked at his so
called new warlady. "You are my newest warrior and you may
call me Master Talpa."

"As you wish, Master Talpa," Destiny said. Rowen and the
others shuttered at the sound. "What do you want me to do with
my enemies Master Talpa?"

"Put them in the dungeon corridors," Talpa answered, "Dais,
Cale, Seth, and Sekhmet help her,"

"Yes Master Talpa," They synchronized.

"Ari, Aeva, and Kayllyn make room for her right away," Talpa
ordered. "We need to make her feel at home,"

"Yes Master Talpa," They synchronized and disappeared to their
room.

12. LOVE DEFEATS HATE

"Destiny, don't you remember me," Rowen said as Destiny lead
him to a dungeon room. Separated from the others he had only
one idea and he hoped it would work. They got inside the
dungeon room, she untied him. "Can I ask you one last thing,
please,"

"Hurry up," She growled. Rowen pulled out the gold chain from
his subarmor collar line. He held it out in front of her.

"Do you remember this necklace," He asked her. She starred at
the necklace. The look of hate turned into love and sorrow. She
started to change back. Her clothes stayed the same though.
Her kanji showed up and it changed back into teal. Her clothes
changed colors. From Black and Gold to Teal and Silver. She
looked up at Rowen and hugged him. He held her close and felt
like they were the only two people in the world. "I love you too,"
He replied from her remark earlier. She pulled back and starred
at the gold chain.

"Your mothers' necklace, It's broken," She told him. She starred
at the broken chain. She grabbed it from him gently. "I can fix it,"

Rowen starred at the necklace in her hands. Destiny closed her
eyes and her kanji glowed. Her body glowed teal and silver
and the necklace lifted up in the air. Rowen watched as the
broken necklace came down fixed like new. Rowen caught it and
starred at Destiny as she opened her eyes. He unhooked the
necklace and put it on Destiny. He hooked it back up and hugged
her again. This time he kissed her as he held her close. They
pulled away.

"Let's find the others," Destiny said eager to get out of the dark
castle. Rowen nodded and ran towards the other dungeons.
They found White Blaze and Ryo first. Destiny looked at the
bars. She wrapped her hands tightly around them. She closed
her eyes. The bars lit up and suddenly broke in half. She did the
same thing to the bottom of the bars. Ryo and White Blaze
starred in amazement and walked through.

Next they found Sage and Destiny took care of the bars. Kento
was found with Cye running down the hall. Kento had gotten out
on his own then found Cye and got him out. They were all
together again and started running for the thrown room. When
they got to the doors and made a plan. Destiny thought about
yelling for the doors to open. She remembered that Seth had to
shout.

"Master Talpa, it is I Destiny, I have come to speak to you."
She shouted. "I want to know when I will beat my enemies."

The doors opened and she burst through with her friends. She
starred at Talpa with hatred in her eyes. He starred back at her.

"How did you break the spell?" Talpa scowled.

"True love can defeat anything," She reached for Rowen's
hand. "Friendship helps to and I've got both, All I've got to say
is," She paused, "I'm ready to kick some Talpa Metal Butt,"

"I'de like to see you," He got interupted by Destiny kicking him
in the face. "You little brat, Your gonna pay for that"

"We'll see about that." She replied to his remark. She saw the
metal armor and tackled him down. She caught hold of some
metal and then made his armor smaller and smaller. It got to the
point where Talpa could hardly breathe. He grabbed Destiny and
threw her against the wall. She tried to get up but Talpa was
holding her by the thoat.

"DESTINY!!!!!" Rowen hollered trying to fight of Ari who
wouldn't let him near her. Seth saw Destiny and remembered his
sisters heartache. He suddenly stopped fighting Ryo and jumped
on his sister.

"Go now Strata save her before it's too late." Seth said as he
held his sister down. "She knows I hate to see women treated
badly."

"Thank you," Rowen said while running towards Talpa. Destiny
struggled to get herself free. Rowen could see her getting pale
from lack of air. She was holding on for dear life and Talpa was
trying to end that. Ryo started to run after Talpa too. Destiny
saw she had a hold of his metal gloves that were connected to his
whole armor. She started to use her power again. Talpa's armor
started to suffocate him. Once he started to run out of air, he let
go of Destiny because he couldn't stand the choking. Destiny
fell to the ground and grabbed her throat to see if she still had
her gold chain. Rowen ran towards her and saw her gasping for
air. He could see her skin color coming back. He ran up to her
just before she got up. He held her close as she got her breathe
back. She looked at him and let go. She ran towards Talpa and
used her power to choke him more. She finally noticed that Talpa
had stopped breathing. She looked at him as he fell down to the
death that he deserved. She looked at Rowen and then looked at
everyone else. Ari looked at the dead hunk of metal that had
been controlling her. All of the warlords and warladies suddenly
started to glow the color of their armors. They suddenly
disappeared into thin air.
