Chapter 4: Search the Tomb
No, I realized I was not dreaming. The wall and floor I could feel and there was some dirt covering it. Red dirt, I might add.
As I got up, and put my palm to the wall to help myself up, I heard a growling that made the entire tomb rumble.
So, as not to upset the guardian of the Tomb, I decided to find the exit. I quickly headed out of the room's left door. As I began to run, the growling got louder.
I turned around quick as I realized an unusual sand hand was coming for me.
“Crap!” I shrieked as I began to run faster.
I turned about twenty corners but there were two things wrong with this situation. I had found no exit even though, I thought it should be here. The only thing that seemed wrong here, was the fact that I was in a dead end and the sand hand was directly in my midst.
“No more running! Time to face this head on!” I shouted as I unsheathed my Nodachi as I ran at what seemed to be my foe.
Then, I stopped as the sand hand turned into a person. But, it was not just any person. It was a female. And, it was not just any female. She was a fine female. The only thing that distressed me was the fact that she had an evil look on her face. I could see her eyes were distraught, however.
She had brown colored pupils and she was a light brown complexion. She must have been African American but she had such eyes. Why? I examined more of her features.
She was shorter than me but she looked as if she had so much muscle mass. She wore glasses over her eyes and she had her jet black hair tied up in a knot. She wore a blue shirt with black stripes across it. She also wore a black cape that hung over her back. She had large-sized lips but beautiful teeth. They were as white as snow. She also wore blue jeans over her short legs. On her feet, were gray snow boots. I had no idea why she was wearing that in the desert but it didn't matter to me....What did matter to me was that she was going to do to me.
My mind raced for answers as I noticed she had a crimson purple sheathe by her side. She began to unsheathe it as I saw it! In the hilt of her sword, which I'm guessing was a Daikatana, was a pink gem. That must have been the Flower Gem.
Even with that and her glaring eyes, I found that she was one of the most beautiful women, I've ever seen. Not forgetting about that girl, who I had seen in the orphanage...But, this girl was driving me crazy. I believe I was falling in love with her.
“What are you doing here?” She asked me.
“Why do you care? Are you supposed to be the guardian?” I asked.
“Yes,” She stated. “My name is Sand Star.”
So, she's a Star? Then, she also must be an Umegairu. Damn it all! I really wanted to date her. But, before I jumped to conclusions, I had to ask her to see if my assumptions were correct.
“So, you're a Star,” I asked, curiously. “Are you also an Umegairu?”
“No,” Sand Star answered. “I am not. I am not related to any of the other Star's.”
Whew! Dodged that bullet. Now, the only thing I needed to accomplish was to befriend her.
But, by the looks of it, that wasn't going to happen.
“So, what would you say, if I was?” I asked, smirking.
“Are you?” Sand Star asked.
I nodded. “My name is Dragon Star.
She smiled as her voice became less angry. “So, this changes things....”
“Really? For better or worse?” I asked.
“Better,” Sand Star answered. “For me, that is.”
“What?” I asked as she hit me upwards out of the Tomb. I crashed hard onto the ground, unconscious, once again.

Chapter 3: Transportation
“That's what you think!” Orion shouted as hit the ground with his palm. Black tendrils came out at us, smashing us into the air. Orion watched us fall as he swiftly disappeared. This man's speed was amazing. We had to be on our guard, but he was so quick, the chances of us surviving was slim to none. “Behind you.” Orion said as he kicked us with the force of wind. We went sailing into the stone tablets around us. We crashed hard as Orion ran at us about a second later.
I got up quick and I grabbed Akko's body as I dodged. Orion jumped at me again as he kicked me backwards. I flew into a stone coffin which broke as I impacted it. Akko's body flew into a wall actually knocking him back to his senses. Akko got up and charged at Orion. Akko did a double kick to Orion's head but he threw Akko into the ceiling. Akko fell back down as Orion kicked him into a wall behind me. As Akko crashed through it, I sensed that he had left the area. I also sensed that he wasn't dead, just unconscious. He had fallen somewhere out my reach. Bad news for me, huh?
I got up as Orion picked me up by my shirts collar. He threw me upwards but I didn't hit the ceiling. I fell back down as he kicked at my ribs. However, I was able to perceive the kick but as I blocked it, the sheer magnitude and impact from his kick sent me crashing into another stone tablet.
“Time to stop fooling around...” I uttered to myself as I unsheathed my Nodachi. The Blitz Gem glowed once as I invigorated its power.
“So, the little boy stands up...Finally.” Orion taunted me.
“Shut the hell up and just stop holding back!” I ordered, angrily.
“What's that supposed to mean?”
“Oh, so you weren't holding back?”
“Shizuka Ni Shite Yo!” Orion muttered something Japanese. I never really had a taste to learn the language because of the rules and regulations. But, this phrase, for whatever rhyme or reason, I knew what he was saying. I understood it as clear as day. He told me to shut up with exerted force added to it. However I did that, I had no idea, but it would come in handy later.
Orion made the sword he had earlier appear within the palm of his hands. I gripped the sword tightly, and as did Orion. We were both ready to fight to the death, if we had to.
We both charged at each other as fast as bullets. When we collided, the impact sent us both spiraling backwards. When I awoke from the impact, Akko, Orion, and I were in a new area of the world and not in the tomb. Luckily, we had our swords with us.
We all arose to our feet at the same time. Akko and I jumped to one side and Orion jumped to the other.
“Where are we?” Akko asked.
“I did nothing,” Orion pointed to me. “I bet Dragon Star was behind all of this.” Orion mentioned angrily.
“Hell no!” I shouted, disagreeing with Orion's logic. Then I realized something as Akko and Orion began to argue their viewpoints.
Were we in a desert? Because, there were sand dunes and scorpions at every way you turned. So, I walked away from Orion and Akko.
When I was a considerable amount of miles away, I had enough mind space to think. But, as I tried to do so, I was caught in huge sand pit that dragged me down below the sand.
When I got up, I was in the tomb. Were we in the desert the whole time? Or was I actually dreaming?

Chapter 2: Akko's Strike
I looked at Orion with great intensity of hatred for him. My Nodachi was the only tangible object I had left to remind me of Satanyuu! And I wasn't going to let some ghetto necromancer like, Orion, take that away from me!
Orion rose a fist to punch at me but, he stopped his punch when it was positioned in front of my face. I was startled at the fact that Orion had stopped his punch. Suddenly, I remembered a lesson Satanyuu taught me when I was about twelve years old. This is around the time he was teaching me martial arts. The technique is called the 'Fierce Dragon'. I began to remember that moment of time within my mind.
“The Fierce Dragon,” I asked, sitting down on the green pastures of the ground. I believe it was around spring when this was happening. “What is that, sensei?”
“Fierce Dragon,” Satanyuu began to explain. “Is a martial arts technique used by the greatest warriors that throws a punch or kick at someone. When the technique stops and lands directly in front of the foe's face, their mind reacts to it as it they were about to be punched or kicked. So, the attack becomes successful as you become unconscious.”
“Is there a way to stop it from becoming a reality within your mind?” I asked as I was scared at the side effects.
“Actually, yes,” Satanyuu said. “Keep your mind focused and you'll be able to overcome this powerful technique.”
“Alright!” I shouted as I took a fighting stance. “I'm ready to learn it!”
“Come on, then!” Satanyuu ordered as I charged at him.
I realized the problem to my dilemma. I had to focus my mind and I wouldn't be overtaken by Orion's attack.
So, I kept my cool and I just sat there.
“Is that all, Storm Star,” I grinned at Orion. “I would think you'd be better than that.”
“Oh, really,” Orion asked as he held his arm out to the left and opened his hand. “Then, let me stop fooling around! Corrupt Blade!” Orion created a sword basically appear from the air.
“Spontaneous Generation,” I shouted as he looked at me, annoyed. “How the hell?!”
Spontaneous Generation was an experiment that was done with some meat and flies. Depending on what type of jar was used with the experiment, maggots would appear within the meat. But, the flies were there as well. So, that's why scientists would call it, “Spontaneous Generation” because they would leave and come back and somehow they would be there. However, later, scientists got smart and figured out that the flies mated in order to create the maggots.
However, I doubt, this is what Orion was doing.
“No, you ass!” Orion shouted as he slashed at my arm. A large gash was left in its place. “It's my corruption powers added with the power of the Storm Star.”
“AH!!!” I screamed in pain as he began to slash at me again.
As the slash was about to collide with me, Akko appeared in front of Orion's slash, blocking it with his two Bokken.
“Who the hell are you?” Orion asked as Akko was able to repel him backwards using Orion's own force against him. Orion skidded backwards but he stopped himself soon after. “Not bad, kid...”
“My name is Wave Star! And, Dragon Star is my brother,” Akko pointed to me. “So, there is no way in hell that I'll let you kill him!”
From that point on, I realized Akko and I had to be brothers. And I felt as if someone cared for me again.
“Well, Wave Star,” Orion said as he dissapeared. “Try and find me!”
Suddenly, a flash came at Akko, knocking him backwards towards me. But, he stopped himself and he cut the tendrils off of my arms relinquishing me. I broke the tendrils off of my legs and I unsheathed my Nodachi. The Blitz Gem glowed a bright green light as Akko's Bokken glowed a silver light as the “Sound Gem” appeared on the hilt of both Bokken.
“You're dead, Orion!” I yelled as we both charged at Orion.

Chapter 1: The Trip
There was a large chill in the air as Akko lead me outside. I was very confused as to what we were going to do. Akko and I seemed to be total opposites. Then, how did we get along so well?
That was a question to be answered later on. For the time being, I had to be focused on what my brother had to show me.
“Brother,” I asked as we walked through a pile of snow where a frozen door stood. “Where are we going?”
Akko didn't answer me. He merely took out a silver star with a blue gem in the middle. It glowed a silver shining light as the frozen door opened. Akko and I were mysteriously pulled in as I tried to grab hold of my Nodachi to keep myself balanced within the tunnel. As I reached for the spot where it would normally be, a rock clunked on my head as I fell below the wind and smashed on the ground. I quickly became unconscious and everything became blank from that point on.
Many minutes later, I woke up with my head all bloody but I could feel it healing. I had no idea where I was, however. As I rose to my feet, I stumbled and crashed into a wall. I tried to regain my senses but, my vision was too impaired to keep focus. I fell to one knee as I saw Akko was also on the ground.
'What the hell is going on here? Where am I?' I thought to myself as my head started spinning. I hacked up some blood as someone stepped in front of me. “Akko? Is that you?”
“Yes,” It didn't sound like Akko, but I just needed help anyway. So, I played along. “It is I, Wave Star.”
“Well, where are we?” I asked as he led me towards a chair. I could sense where we were going. He sat me down in that chair.
“Why, we're in the Tomb of the Umegairu. You've never been here?” The person asked me.
I regained my vision as my mind became clear. I could see who I was talking to and just like I thought before, he wasn't Akko.
“Hello!” He said as I tried to get out of my chair and scamper away. “Where do you think you're going?” The man appeared behind and kicked me back into the chair.
“Who are you?” I asked as black tendrils came out of the ground and strapped me to the chair.
“The name's Orion,” He introduced himself to me. “And you, sir, have something that I need.”
I looked at Orion and saw that his features were corrupted, yet not evil. He had black colored hair with a purple tint to that shined as he paced around me. His hair was unusually spiky as were the sharpness of his teeth. As he stopped pacing and stared at me, his eyes were black and they looked strained. He made himself look insane but I'm guessing that's what Villains are supposed to be...Insane and drunk with power, which causes even more insanity within them.
“And what would you need from me?” I asked as I spat at his face. Somehow, he caught the spit in his hand as it froze, resting upon his palm. The corruption within his body alone was enough to melt my saliva! This man was not one to be toyed with.
“How could you do that?!” I asked, already knowing the answer.
“If you must know,” Orion said as he held out his hand. A miniature storm appeared within his hands. “I'm Storm Star and I need all the power I can get. So, hand it over!”

Chapter 5: Separation
Akko was actually my long lost brother...How much more confusing can life become?
I pondered the thought of Akko being my brother and the pieces didn't fit together. How was he my brother if I've never met him before?
“How is that even possible,” I asked. “When we've never even met before?”
“Simple,” Akko stated. “I've visited you many days before at the orphanage. As I learned I was Wave Star, things got a little more complicated and when I got to the age of six, I could not visit you anymore.”
“So, that's still not making any sense...Why did you act as my enemy just weeks earlier?” I asked, still confused.
“It was to test out your abilities and apparently, you've just discovered them.” Akko explained.
This was getting more confusing by the second. So, I decided to ask, “We were seperated at birth, weren't we?”
“Well...in a matter of speaking, yes...But, the orphanage never told you?” Akko asked.
“To tell you the truth, Akko,” I said with discontent. “I doubt the orphanage really gave a crap about my life. So, even if they had told me, I don't think I would have understood it, very much.”
“Ah, I see,” Akko said as everything began to clear up. “But, don't take it so literally, Oreidan.”
“Why?” I asked.
“It wasn't because they hated you,” Akko stated. “They were all from very aloof families.”
“So, how does that really matter to me?”
“Why do you think they caused such a ruckus with you all the time?” Akko asked, testing me.
“....I have no idea, Akko. Just tell me. I'm tired of this mystery, bullcrap.” I ordered as I realized it was becoming tedious.
“It was to prepare you to become Dragon Star...Now, get ready, we are going on a little trip.” Akko ordered as he left the room.
