The Littlest Warlord
Chapter 2
Nature and Lilac
In a dimly lit room Mimi was suspended in an egg shaped capsule. Knees against her chest. Her arms wrapped around her body. She was wearing a black subarmor with gold hoops in each of her four ear piercing. The dark warlords are waiting for her to wake up.
Sekhmet: "This is the girl?"
Cale: "She looks normal to me. I can't believe she beat you."
Anubis: "She didn't beat me."
Dais: "Close enough. You should have caught her before now." The capsule started cracking and soon Mimi was out of the capsule. Before the warlords could say anything to her she vanished.
Sekhmet: "Where did she go?"
Anubis: "Lord Talpa called her."
Meanwhile at Mia's house.
Kento: "What are we going to do?"
Ryo: "I say that we bust in and. . . "
Sage: "We can't just bust in. We need a plan."
Kento: "Why not, Go in get Mimi get out. That's a plan." [Wait a minute that almost makes sense.]
Sai: "What about Talpa we don't know are ready for him and besides they might hurt her if we interfere too quickly."
Rowen: "That's not likely they are probably trying to turn her to their side."
Sai: "Didn't any of you notice how Whiteblaze was acting he didn't make a sound when Mimi was leaving. I think we should wait."
The Warlords waited for Mimi to return.
Cale: "What do you think her powers are like."
Anubis: "Talpa never told me. We will just have to wait and see." Mimi reappeared in front of the warlords. "Lord Talpa says that you are to train me.
Anubis: "Yes but first introductions. I am Anubis Warlord of Cruelty. To my left is Dais Warlord of Illusion. To my right is Sekhmet Warlord of Venom and next to Dais is Cale Warlord of Corruption."
Mimi: "bowed" Hello my name is Mimi of Lilac. Warlord of Nature. When am I to be trained?"
Anubis: "Tomorrow. Right now you need to rest."
Dais: "I will take you to your room." Mimi and Dais walked down a dark hallway until they came to five doors. Dais directed Mimi to the last door.
Dais: "This is your room." Mimi walked inside there was nothing but darkness. Cale walked up to Dais.
Cale: "Is she settled?"
Dais: "She needs things for her room."
Cale: "We'll ask her about it tomorrow."
Dais: "You notice that she gave us two names."
Cale: "Anubis says it's because she has an evil sid and a good side. Warlord of Nature is her rightful title. But when she is Good she calls herself Mimi of Lilac."
Dais: "Why?"
Cale: "So she won't be affiliated with us."
Dais: "That way people will trust her."
Mimi: "It's so dark in here." She lied down on the floor. "I might as well get some rest for tomorrow."
Good Mimi: (Mimi, MIMI")
Bad Mimi: "(WHAT? Who are you?)
Good Mimi: ("I'm you. Well the positive side of you.")
Bad Mimi: ("Where are we? And call me Nature. All of these Mimi's are getting confusing.")
Good Mimi: (OK call me Lilac. We're in Talpa's castle.")
Nature:("Talpa's castle!! How did We end up here?")
Lilac: "(Long story.")
Nature:(" Why work for Talpa when I can take over this world myself.")
Lilac: ("Well you're a warlord. You work for your master.")
Nature: ("Now you know better than that. As soon as Talpa gets what he wants the others and I will be destroyed and stripped of our armors. Besides aren't you a warlord too.")
Lilac: ("I work for the Ancient one. Just or unjust a master is a master and a lord is a lord."
Nature: ("Even if this fact could destroy your world.")
Lilac: (You are right but unlike the others you are fluffy evil. So I can't convince you to change but maybe we can work out a deal.")
Nature: (Go on.")
Lilac: ("Until we get out of here I want you to deal with Talpa.")
Nature: ("If we get out of here then we will have to deal with the Ronins.")
Lilac: ("You won't have to deal with them I will.")
Nature: ("Good point.")
Lilac: ("Give me two weeks.")
Nature: ("Two weeks?")
Lilac: ("You can count today If you want."
Nature: ("Okay fine but if this doesn't work Talpa's going to find out the hard way who he is trying to control. Now what do you say we do something about this room.")
Lilac: ("Fin by me.") Mimi woke up and stretched. She sat back down Indian style and closed her eyes and concentrated. Flowers, plants, and trees of all kinds started growing out of nowhere. In the middle of it was a swing covered with vines. Mimi sat down on the swing and rocked herself back to sleep.
Dais walked into Mimi's room. His jaw dropped. "Mimi, did you do this?"
Mimi: "Yes."
Dais: "When?"
Mimi: "Last night."
Dais: "How Oh never mind. I like it. It suits you."
Mimi: "I wasn't kidding when I said that I was the Warlord of Nature."
Dais: "Right. Well it's time your training. Hey would you like to see what the other rooms look like?"
Mimi: "Sure."
Nature: ("Ok you handle the talking. I'll handle the fighting.")
Lilac: ("Fine by me")
Dais: "Come on." They walked out of Mimi's room and into the room next to it.
Dais: "This is Cale's room." The room was completely dark. "Watch your step you might trip over something. Let's keep moving. This is Anubis' room." Anubis had all Japanese furniture in his room. He even had a small shinto shrine in the corner of his room. Smoke was still coming off his candles. They moved on to the next room.
Dais: "This is Sekhmet's room." All of the furniture was in snake skin. There was a fish tank with three snakes in it on a table.
Mimi: "Can we move on."
Dais: "Okay. You don't like snakes huh. Well the last room is mine." Dais had Victorian style furniture. There were a few containers with spiders on it.
Mimi: "Itsy, Bitsy, and Mrs. Muffet?"
Dais: "Oh that reminds me. Coldstone and Dark tail are around here somewhere."
Mimi: "Who are they."
Dais: "Cale's pet wolves."
Mimi: "Oh. What's that?" In the corner of Dais' room there were three potsh with a little green sprout. Above the pots were six pieces of wood in a tic tac toe grid."
Dais: "Oh that. The plants are going to be vines."
Mimi: "How long will it it take for them grow?"
Dais: "I don't know." Mimi walked over to the plants and placed her hands over them. They started growing purple and black flowers blossomed on the vines.
Dais: "Thank you."
Mimi: "It's kay. Don't forget to water them."
Dais: "Would you like to see the garden?"
Mimi: "Yes." Her face lit up at the word garden.
Dais and Mimi walked to the garden. There was a lake and Cherry trees everywhere.
Mimi: ("I guess the nine armors really do belong to Talpa:) Remembering how the ronins transformed.
Anubis: "Mimi, Dais. There you are. Mimi to complete your training you have win a battle against each of us. Don't asky why Talpa's orders. Your first match will be Sekhmet. Then Cale, Dais me. If you beat all of us then you have to fight us together. Now change into your armor and go into the practice room. Mimi's armor was purple and black. Her hair was loose. The purple parts made it look like she was wearing a short v-neck short sleeved shirt, gloves that went to her elbows each glove had three black spikes on her elbows and knee high boots. The places where her skin would be were black. The kanji of hate glowed under her helmet. The horns were black the horn on the right was pointed down and the horn on the left pointed up.
Sekhmet: "Purple?"
Mimi: "What's wrong with purple?"
Sekhmet: "Nothing Nothing let's just go."
The room was white. There was no sound until. "Snake fang strike." Mimi braced herself to the attack. She could barely move the posion had affected her armor.
Sekhmet: "What is the matter. You look like you're in pain." Mimi slowly walked towards Sekhmet. Sekhmet brought out his swords. Mimi blocked his blows with her arms. Slowly her armor got used to the poison and she could move faster. She punched him in the face he backed up and shook his head. She punched him again and again and again. The effects of the poison wore off. Sekhmet was getting battered. She knew better than to let him use his surekill again. Sekhmet created a pool of venom under her feet trapping her. "Snak fang strike." This time Mimi used a wall of poison ivy to block his attack and to drink up the poison.
Sekhmet: "Your little plants can't help you forever." The flor was ripped as giant vines grabbed Sekhmet. Everyone that died three more sprang up in its place until they sucked Sekhmet of all his power and Mimi was happy to finish off the job punching and kicking him until Anubis called on her to stop.
Cale: "Sekhmet. Mimi really kicked your butt."
Sekhmet: "Beginners luck. If it wasn't for those stupid vines of her I would have won."
Cale: "You can't blame it on the vines. That's part of her power."
Dais: "You might want to remember that when she fights you Cale."
They were all sitting in the garden. Mimi was leaning on Dais' shoulder. Her and Sekhmet were back in their subarmors. Mimi was tired. Sekhmet had a large bruise on his neck where one of the vines grabbed him.
Anubis: "Mimi must be tired let her go and get some rest."
Dais stroked her hair. "Are you really tired?"
Mimi: "Yes."
Cale: "Okay then talk to you later." Dais, Cale, and Sekhmet left.
Anubis: "Mimi you did well today. But you should try to learn your attack. It will make battling easier. I must go now. Talpa is calling me."
Mimi went back to her room. She made herself a bed and a dresser with a mirror. And after wandering around the castle found the bathroom. She didn't feel like going to sleep just yet. She sat down in her swing and started wondering how the ronins were doing. Dais, Cale, Coldstone, and Darktail came into her room.
Dais: "You see what I mean Cale."
Cale: "Mimi you did all of this. Well what about water and..." Splash Cale stepped into a puddle. "Oh never mind."
Mimi:(:I feel like Poison Ivy off of Batman.")
Coldstone and Darktail fell in love with Mimi almost making her fall out of her swing trying to get her to pet them.
Cale: "Coldstone Darktail out!" The two wolves held their heads down and slowly walked out of the room. Dais unbraided Mimi's hair and braided it back up. "I can't wait to see you beat Cale." Cale sat down on Mimi's bed. "And who says she will. Wow this is soft. Goose feathers?"
Mimi: "Rose petals."
Cale: "Oh. Can we switch beds?"
Mimi: "You have a bed?"
Cale: "Yeah. Didn't you see it when you saw my room this morning?"
Mimi: "No."
Dais: "We better let you rest. See you tomorrow. Dais and Cale left her room. She was about to lay down when Sekhmet came in her room.
Mimi: ("I need to get a lock.")
Sekhmet: "Nice place my snakes would love it." Mimi turned green.
Sekhmet: "Um. I'm sorry for how I acted. I just didn't expect to lose. Do me a favor beat Cale tomorrow."
Mimi: "Okay."
Sekhmet: "Good night."
Mimi: "Night."
Sekhmet went back to his room.
Mimi: "Finally. Now I can get some sleep.
