The Union of Justice! My First Fan Fic! (Plz comment!) Prolouge up! Chapter 1 to 5 coming soon!

Prolouge: The Evil Awakens...

Kishido was walking in an abandoned ruin. He had received an anonymus message the other day that he was supposed to meet someone here, and he was kinda eager to meet this unknown person. Although, the thought of that he didn´t know who it was scared him, he ignored it, as he stopped in front of an entrance to a dungeon. He pulled something out of his pocket. A small device. He pressed some buttons, and the screen began to glow. A light erupted from it, and streams of data code emerged from it. It formed into a humanoid creature, although it resembled a vampire with a black cloak, blue suit with golden trims, and a small, purple mask.

"Is this it, Kishido?" The creature asked. Kishido shrugged his shoulders.

"Dunno..." He replied. "But I feel that it´s no longer safe here. Something is coming this way, Myotismon. I can feel it."

"Damn right it is!" A voice behind them replied. Kishido and Myotismon turned around. Behind them was a boy, roughly Kishido´s age, with blond, slick hair and blue eyes. He was dressed in a black cloak with green trims, and on his chest was a green and silver badge with a snake on it, and under it stood "Slytherin". He smirked at them.

"Who the hell are you?" Kishido asked. The boy continued to smirk.

"Someone that is about to teach you two a few things!" He replied. "You should know that vampires are not too good to hang out with!" He pulled a wooden stick from his sleeve. Myotismon cackled.

"You really think we´re scared of that puny stick?" He chuckled, as he pulled his hand back. "Take this! Blazing Inferno!" He formed a red fire whip, and lashed it at the boy.

"EXPELLIARMUS!" He shouted, as he whipped his stick and created a red blast that was send towards the fire whip that neutralised it. He chuckled. "You should really know better than to attack a Full-Blood wizard! GLACIUS!" He whipped the stick again, and a frosty wind emerged from it´s tip. As it charged at Kishido and Myotismon, it froze all in it´s path. When it was about to hit, a sand wall came in it´s way, as it froze solid.

"Huh?" Kishido looked at the frozen wall of sand. "What´s this?"

"That´s my work!" Another voice said. The sand wall broke free from the ice and dissolved, as another boy appeared. He had red hair, green eyes, and a red tatoo mark over his left eye. He was dressed in a dark brown suit with a white rag across the chest, and he also had a gourd on his back, from which it poured sand. "I am Gaara, The Sand Demon!"

"Sand Demon?" Kishido was intrigued. "But demons do not exist!"

"Pfff!" Gaara crossed his arms. "What kinda stories have YOU heard?! Demons ARE real, and I am living proof!"

"ENOUGH!" The other boy shouted, as he pointed his stick at Gaara. "How dare you ignore Draco Malfoy, the son of the World-Renowned Lucius Malfoy?!" Gaara just laughed.

"A stick? You threaten me with a STICK?!" The sand around his feet began to slither like a snake. "You should know your place!" Suddenly, the sand grabbed hold of Draco, as it lifted him into the air and held him upside-down. Kishido couldn´t help but to snicker. "Don´t laugh...you´re next!" Gaara continued, as he looked at Draco.

"AAHH!! L-LET ME GO!!" He yelped, as he hanged helpless in the air. Gaara shrugged, as the sand dropped him on the ground. Kishido stepped between them.

"Okay! I wanna know what´s going on, and I wanna know it NOW!" He shouted. Suddenly, a dark materia swelled up from the dungeon entrance, and formed itself to a man. He was dressed in a black robe, and had a black suit underneath it. A chain was attatched to his left leg, and he had an eyepatch over his right eye. But instead of a left hand, a big, black pincer erupted, as it glistered in the moonlight.

"What is going on, my dear, fellow villains..." He said in a blood-chilling tone,"Is that you have been chosen to fight at my side...and gain surpreme control over the world!!" Kishido, Gaara and Draco were shocked.

"Who the hell are you?!" Draco said in a scared tone, as he whipped his stick. "RICTUSEMPRA" A loud bang was heard, and a magic blast erupted from the tip and charged at the man. He just deflected the blast with his hand, as it exploded upon a ruin pillar. Gaara stood still, as the sand around his formed a giant wave that crashed upon the man. The man escaped unharmed, as he was surrounded by a purple aura.

"Hmpf! Pathetic!" He scoffed. "Anyone else who wanna try?"

The three of them backed away, and the man smirked.

"I didn´t think so..." He muttered. "Now then, shall we discuss this like civilized beings?"

"Wait!" Kishido impiled. "Before I am into this, I wanna know your name!"

"My name......is Daemonus...

Chapter 1: Meeting The Union.

Rock Lee was lying on his bed in his room, as he stared into the roof. He sighed deeply. He was dressed in his usual, green training suit, and with bandaids strapped around his hands. His black hair laid perfectly flat, and his thick eyebrows moved a bit each time he thought of something. This was something he usually did, since there have been no big threats for mankind lately. In his bookshelves were scrolls, kunais, shurikens, all that a ninja like him would need. On the wall was a big poster of Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan, his biggest idols, since he himself was a warrior. He was a ninja from the Konoha Village, and a very prideful one. He had been trained in Taijutsu by Might Guy, who he idolized so much he actually copied his clothing style! He then sat up and cracked his fingers.

"Man, I can´t just sit here and do nothing!" He said to himself, as he stood up. In the same time, someone knocked at the door. "Come in!" He replied happily, as he strapped on a pair of orange leg-weights on his ankles. The door opened, and Lee saw a boy standing outside.
He was dressed in a white and black-trimmed T-Shirt and green pants, had brown, ruffled-up hair, and green eyes. On his wrist was a device attatched. It was slightly black with green buttons here and there, and with a big, green button in the middle, which could also be turned clockwise and counter-clockwise. He smiled as he saw Lee.

"Hiya Lee!" He said. "You ready for breakfast?"

"Boy, I sure am Ben!" Lee replied, as he walked up to Ben and rubbed him gently on the head. "Man, you´ve grown!"

"Yup!" Ben said confidently. "One day, I´ll be as big as you, and without the aid of this!" He pointed at the device, as Lee chuckled.

"You sure will Ben! You sure will..." He said, as he and Ben walked down the stairs. As they were about to enter the kitchen, Ben sneak-peeked inside, and quickly hided behind a wall. Lee raised one of his eyebrows a bit. "What´s wrong?"

"I-I-It´s h-her!" Ben stuttered nervously, and pointed towards the kitchen entrance. Lee looked inside. At the table sat a girl. She was dressed in a white T-Shirt with light-blue sleeves, blue jeans with a brown belt across the waist, where a small card-package was attatched, red wristbands, and a yellow scarf around the neck. Her hair was red and strapped up in a spikey pony-tail, and her eyes were blue. She looked towards the entrance, and noticed Lee. She blushed a bit, and waved at him.

"Hi, Lee!" She giggled a bit. "You´re fine?"

"Oh, hi Rika!" Lee replied. "Never felt better in my entire life!" He walked into the kitchen, and over to the fridge. He opened it, an grabbed a small Powerbar, which he opened and chewed on, as he sat down next to Rika.

"Is that all you´re going to eat?" Rika said, as she looked at the Powerbar. "You´re going to starve, you know." Lee just smiled.

"Not a chance!" He replied with a big grin. "The meal of a Warrior must not be too big, nor too small, but just..."

"...Big enough for his appetite, I know." Rika followed up and sighed. "But, really, shouldn´t you at least try some bread? I baked it yesterday!" She passed a bread basket to Lee. It was filled with slices of white, aromatic bread. Lee sniffed a bit, and sighed in delight. He took a slice, and scraped some butter on it. He hesitatingly looked at Rika, but then took a large bite of the bread slice.

"Mmmm, Mmmm! This is delishious!" He said, as he swallowed the bite. "Thanks, Rika!"

"What won´t you do for a buddy?" She chuckled, as she took her slice and chewed on it. Ben hesitatingly looked into the kitchen. Rika didn´t notice him. Now, if Lee was safe maybe he was too? Although, he DID play a nasty prank on her yesterday, Ben was pretty sure he was in her firing line. Although...

"Hiya, Ben!" A loud voice said to him. Ben was about to jump ten feet straight into the air, but instead tripped into the kitchen, landing face-first. Behind him was two, even-aged boys. One of them had red, almost flaming hair and blue eyes, and the other one had black, ruffled-up hair, green eyes, glasses, and a strange, lightning-bolt formed scar on his forehead. Both of them were dressed in black cloaks with red trims, and had red and golden badges on their chests with a golden lion in the middle. It stood "Gryffindor" beneath. The red-haired one looked embarrased. "Sorry..." He mumbled.

"Hi Harry! Hi Ron!" Rika said happily. Both of them waved at her.

"Morning Rika." Harry replied, as he sat down next to her. "Is there any toast?"

"Um, yea I think so." Rika said, and pointed at the countertop beside the fridge. "Wait, I´ll get it for..."

"No need to!" Harry calmed her, as he pulled out his wand, and made a smooth turn up and twisted it down while saying, "Wingardium Leviosa!" The toast slices began to levitate in the air, as they landed on the table. One in front of Harry, and the other one in front of an empty seat, where Ron sat down and took it from the air.

"Thanks, mate!" He said with a happy grin.

"Actually, it was for HER..." Harry noted and pointed beside Ron.

"Her?" Ron looked beside him, and fell out of his chair in sudden fear. "WAAH!" Beside him was something that might have resembled a human fox. She had yellow fur all over her body, exept a part of her chest and her lower legs, where her fur was white as snow. She had purple gloves that stretched up over half her arms, and each of them had a Yin-Yang symbol at the hands. She sighed a bit, as she sat down and grabbed the toast slice.

"Thanks, Harry..." She said, and eyed Ron a bit. "Why are you still afraid of me?"

"I-I´m not afraid, exactly..." Ron stuttered, as he recovered from the shock. "I´m just not use to people that pop up right beside me! It freaks me out!"

"I can see that." Harry snickered. "Oh, you´re welcome, Renamon." He hastily filled in, as he scraped some butter on his slice.

"Had a nice sleep?" Rika asked her partner. Renamon just shrugged.

"Don´t know." She replied, as she took a bite out of her toast. "Didn´t sleep at all, I think." Lee was about to choke on a bread piece, Harry looked shocked, and Rika was worried sick.

"No sleep?!" She said, as she rushed over to her and put her hand on Renamon´s forehead. "You´re sure that you´re feeling fine?"

"I AM fine!" Renamon muttered, as Rika took her hand away. "I just sat on the roof for awhile, and looked at the stars. There were a lot of them tonight. It was very beautiful." Rika sighed in relief.

"Thank God!" She said, as she sat down in Renamon´s lap. "I´m just worried about you, you know?" Renamon smiled, and hugged Rika.

"I know, Rika." She replied. "I won´t make you worried again then!" Rika nodded, and then stood up and helped Ben up.

"Finally!" He moaned, as he shook his head. "You know, lying on the floor isn´t so nice as some people sa..." He noticed Rika staring at him, and he got nervous. "U-U-Ummm......h-hi, Rika!" He stuttered.

"Hi, Tennyson!" Rika replied coldly. "You know, that wasn´t very nice of you yesterday..."

"W-What?" Ben tried to play innocent. "I-I don´t have a clue..." Suddenly, he was whacked in the head by Rika. She held a frying pan in her hand.

"Don´t you try and sneak away!!" She yelled. "You drenched me while I was working on my tan, remember?!!" She swinged the frying pan at him again, but missed, as Ben rushed behind Lee. Lee just laughed, as did all of them, exept Rika.

"What´s so funny?" A voice said from the entrance. There stood another girl. She had a red skirt that ended in white feather darts, red gloves up to her shoulderblades, and red, long hair. She blushed when she saw Harry. "O-Oh...h-hi Harry." She stuttered.

"Hello Mileena!" Harry replied, as he pointed his wand at a chair. "Depulso!" The chair moved out a bit, and Mileena sat down. "Everything alright?"

"Y-Yeah...I´m fine." She stuttered, as she took a bread slice. She held it in the air, as a small fire erupted from her fingertip, and she slightly toasted the slice. Ben was jealous.

"Man, I wish I could do that without turning to Heatblast." He said, as he observed Mileena. Suddenly, a large crash was heard from the entrance, and sand poured into the house!

"AAH!!" Ron got scared, as he ducked a sand wave intended for him. Mileena hastily stood up and threw a fireball at her sand wave, and it turned into glass.

"EVERYONE, GET OUT!!" Harry shouted, as they went up the stairs. The sand just followed them, as it stopped behind them. The others looked around, as the sand heap began to grow, and alter shape. Soon enough, Gaara stood and stared at them.

"Gaara!!" Lee roared, as he stepped forward. "What are you doing here?!!" Gaara cackled sadistically.

"To see you DIE!!" He replied. "Draco! Kishido! ATTACK!!!"

To be continued...

Chapter 2: Fighting Old Adversaries.

Suddenly, the sand around Gaara formed into two other figures, as Draco and Kishido emerged. They smirked at Mileena and the others.

"Well, well, look who´s here......" Draco snickered. "Potty and Weasel! I should´ve known that this...pathetic excuse of a house was something to find Half-Bloods like you in!"

"Draco Malfoy..." Harry replied coldly, as he and Ron pulled their wands. "I see you found some new friends..."

"Not that you really had any!" Ron sarcastically filled in. Draco´s smile turned into a frown.

"You will regret that, Weasley!" He sneered, and whipped his wand. "Incendio!" Blue-purple flames sprouted from it, straight at Harry and Ron.

"GLACIUS!" They shouted in unison, as both of their wands sprouted out a blizzard storm. The corridor froze to ice, and Draco felt chills through his spine.

"Let´s go while they´re distracted!" Mileena implied. Everyone nodded and went past Harry and Ron, as they focused the blizzard at Draco and the others, so the others could run back down the stairs. Gaara noticed that, as he turned into a sand cloud and disappeared. The others were in the living room.

"I think we shook them off!" Lee was panting. Until they looked in front of them, where Gaara stood!

"You really think so?" He replied coldly, as sand bursted out of the floor tiles and formed a giant wave that crashed upon them. Renamon grabbed Rika and jumped out of the way, Ben quickly rolled behind a sofa, and Lee bashed through the sand wall and charged at Gaara.

"Konoha Senpuu!" He shouted, as he kicked Gaara, but his a sand barrier instead. He landed on both feet, and tried to punch him, but another barrier blocked his attack. For every fist or kick Lee tried to land, another sand wall briefly formed and dissolved. Gaaga smirked, as he lunged his palm forward. A hand made of sand grabbed Lee and pummeled him into a wall. The hand held him in a tight grasp, refusing to let go, no matter how hard Lee struggled. Gaara laughed sadistically, as he clutched his hand slowly. The hand was now squeezing Lee slowly, and he screamed in pain. Soon, he would die of the pressure, and if not of that, the lack of air. Gaara was about to finish him off, until he felt a sharp blow in his gut.

"Agh!!" Gaara staggered, and the sand-hand dissolved, releasing Lee. As Gaara looked up, he saw something that resembled a Hi-Tech Velociraptor, with sleek, light-blue skin, a thin black and white armor, a light-blue and black-striped tail, and with black wheels instead of feets. "Who the hell are you?!" Gaara yelled.

"Call me......XLR8!" The creature said, as a windshield covered his face, and he disappeared. Gaara looked wildly around. Suddenly, a sand barrier was created and dissolved in the blink of an eye! He looked in that direction, but then, another barrier created and dissolved itself. Gaara was confused, as he suddenly lost control of the sand, and it fell lifeless down on the floor. Then, XLR8 appeared in front of him, and pummeled him at blinding speed, and finished it off by slapping his massive tail into Gaara´s chest and sended him crashing into a wide-screen TV. "Oh no! Not the TV!" XLR8 yelped.

"Well, it´s your own fault!" Rika replied coldly, as she and Renamon got up. "You should THINK a bit before you act, Ben!" XLR8 was in fact Ben, only transformed with the aid of his device, The Omnitrix.

"Hey, knock it off, Rika!" He snapped back at her. "If I hadn´t done something, Lee would have been pushing up daisies by now!" At that moment, Lee got up on his feet, a bit dizzy, as he recovered from the sudden impact.

"Thanks, Ben!" He said, as he straightened himself. Suddenly, they heard a crash above. "Harry and Ron are in trouble! Let´s go!"

*****

Meanwhile, Harry and Ron swinged and lashed their wands, as they repelled Draco´s attacks.

"Is that all you got?" Draco cackled, as he swinged his wand. "Rictusempra!" A magic blast hitted Harry, as he flew backwards and crashed through the door to his room. It was pretty regular, exept that the bookshelves were filled with spell books and ink bottles. Harry quickly got up, as Draco prepared another spell.

"DEPULSO!!" Harry yelled, as Draco was pushed backwards, and dropped his wand. Harry then aimed his wand at the roofpart on top of Draco. "BOMBARDA!!" A massive, magic force blew the roof to bits, as the debree crashed upon Draco. Harry was panting, and he got up and ran over to Ron, who lied on the ground.

"H-Harry!" Ron stuttered, as Harry helped him up. "You Ok?"

"Yeah, I´m fine." Harry replied, as they looked at the pile of wood.

"Ha! He won´t get out of there in the first place!" Ron chuckled, as Lee, Rika & Renamon, Ben and Mileena got back up.

"You guys Ok?" Lee asked, and noticed a pile of debree.

"Yeah, we´re fine!" Harry replied. "But who was that guy that attacked you?"

"It was Gaara." Lee instructed. "A dangerous Sand Ninja that has tried to kill me and my friends many times over! He is extremely dangerous."

"Well, that would give Draco a reason to join him!" Ron filled in, as he looked around. "But, hey......wasn´t there another guy?"

"You mean me?" They looked around to the stairs, and saw Kishido. Rika´s face turned red with anger.

"Kishido!!" She yelled. "What are YOU doing here?!"

"To see you......Rika." Kishido replied. "You´ve grown a bit, but you´re still too tempered."

"TEMPERED?!!" Rika boiled with anger. "WHY YOU..."

"Rika!" Renamon eyed Kishido. "You just shut up!"

"Why should I?" Kishido asked, and walked up to Rika. "After all...I am right, am I not?" He fondled Rika´s cheek, and Renamon looked away with disgust. Rika backed away and slapped Kishido across the face.

"STAY AWAY FROM ME!" She shouted, as a small tear ran down her cheek. Kishido muttered something, and stared furiously at Rika.

"Have it your way!" He roared. "Myotismon, Attack!" Suddenly, thousands of bats flied into the house, and formed into a vampire hidden in his cloak. It was Myotismon. He chuckled sadistically, as he flung the cloak open and stretched out his hands.

"Grisly Wing!" He called out, as a bat swarm emerged from thin air and charged at Rika and the others. The bats surrounded them, and Myotismon smirked.

"AAH!! GET THEM AWAY!!" Ron cried, as he whipped his wand and arms to get them off himself. Harry calmly whipped his wand.

"Lumos Maxima!" He called out, as the tip of the wand bursted out an illuminating light and blinded the bats. The light starled Kishido and Myotismon, and suddenly, Lee was in front of Myotismon, as he kicked him into the air and followed up with several kicks on his chin. Then, Lee disappeared, as several bandaids flinged around Myotismon, and strapped themselves around him.

"W-What?!!" Myotismon stuttered, as he saw Lee behind him. He grabbed Myotismon, turned himself upside-down, and spinned around.

"Take this! OMOTE RENGE!"(Translation: Primary Lotus) Lee yelled, as both of them was spinning towards the bottom floor. As they crashed upon the floor, Lee jumped out of harms way, and landed three feet away from Myotismon. Myotismon stood up and stared at Lee.

"You will pay!" He shouted, as he stretched out his arms.

"No!" Kishido stopped him, and glanced at Rika. Let´s leave them for now. The master wants us to return."

"Already?" Gaara had appeared next to him, and looked down at Lee. "I wanted to play a little longer!"

"Well..." Draco managed to crawl out of the rubble, as he dusted off his cloak and looked at Gaara. "You know what they say. Time flies away when you have fun!" And at that moment, he, Gaara, Kishido and Myotismon disappeared in black clouds.

"What?" Ron looked dumbstruck. "What happened?"

"They were teleported away." Mileena replied. "Now, let´s see if we can repair the damages..."

To be continued...

Chapter 3: A Dancing Clown...

"YOU PATHETIC, INCOMPETENT, AND USELESS LOT OF FOOLS!!!"

Daemonus was furious, as he launched purple magic spheres at Gaara, Draco and Kishido. They did their best to dodge them, and soon enough, Daemonus tired and sat down on a spiked obsidian throne in the middle of the room. It was like a medieval throne room. The pillars were decorated with purple and dark-blue banners, the chandeliers had black candles that burned with purple and blue flames, and across the room was a black carpet that stretched to the throne where Daemonus sat.

"B-But...S-Sir!" Draco started, but Daemonus didn´t listen.

"ENOUGH!" He roared. He sighed, and held his forehead. "You...may leave me." All three of them nodded, and left the throne room. "You may come out now..."

Suddenly, something began to flimmer in the shadows, as it got closer and closer to Daemonus. Suddenly, a purple explosion erupted in front of him with a cartoonish "Poof", and there stood a man. He was dressed like a jester, with multi-coloured clothes, brown hair with white feathers on the back, and a pale-white face with red marking at the eyes. He cackled in a creepy tone, and smiled as he saw Daemonus.

"Aaaahhh, Daemonus!" He said in a childish tone, and bowed deeply before him. "It is a pleasure to serve you, oh Great Lord!"

"Kefka......" Daemonus smirked. "I am glad that you were able to join me in my quest to destroy The Union of Justice. With your aid, they will not stand a chance!"

"Don´t forget us!" A voice replied, and a purple vortex was created. Out stepped a woman and a man. The woman was dressed in a red silk dress, which seemed to have merged with her purple hands, a black feather boa which ended in two wings on her back, and white hair with pink tips that ended like demon horns. The man was dressed in dark-brown leather armor on his shoulders and legs, white silk clothing on his arms and around his waist, and long, white hair. He had several light spheres hovering around him, and he floated about one feet above the ground.

"Aaaahh, of course not......" Daemonus chuckled. "Ultimecia......Kuja...You too are to be congratulated, as you now stand in front of the, soon to be, world´s supreme ruler!!" Ultimecia and Kuja bowed before him.

"You already ARE the world´s ruler..." Ultimecia soothed in a charismatic tone.

"...To have such powerful allies as US!" Kuja filled in. "And even if this...relatively SMALL group of oppressors have caused you trouble before, they will no more! I will go there and see to it...PERSONALLY!"

"No, Kuja..." Daemonus raised his hand. "You don´t need to worry yourself over them......yet. Kefka..." He turned to Kefka. "I want you to......pay a little visit to our beloved friends. Just to warn them." Kefka cackled in a childish, but also sadistic tone.

"It will be a pleasure! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA........."

*****

Meanwhile, the Union had managed to clean up the mess that Gaara, Draco and Kishido had caused during the attack. Ben just sat in front of the broken TV and sighed.

"Aaw, maan!" He moaned. "How am I supposed to watch cartoons now?!" Harry went over to him and took out his wand.

"I can help!" He said comforting, and aimed the wand at the TV. "Reparo!" The TV suddenly started to re-build itself, and levitated up to it´s place again.

"Wow!" Ben was awed, and in the same time overjoyed. "Thanks, Harry!"

"No problem!" He replied, and saw Mileena trying to lift a heavy bookshelf. "Let me help! Wingardium Leviosa!" The bookshelf floated upwards, and straightened itself.

"T-Thanks..." Mileena stuttered, and blushed a bit. "You´re a real gentleman!" Harry also blushed, and quickly went to help Lee with some books that needed sorting. "Isn´t he handsome?" She whispered to Rika as she went by.

"Well...kinda!" Rika giggled, and looked at Lee. "But I´d prefer him! He´s handsome, a gentleman AND strong! Just what a woman these days need!" She sighed deeply and stared at Lee. When he and Harry were finished, he went over to Rika and Mileena. Rika blushed violently, and tried to hide her face.

"What´s wrong? Are you allright?" Lee asked. Rika looked at him and giggled.

"No, I´m fine! Thanks for asking..." She started to get nervous. "I...I...Ineedtobealone!" She said hastily, as she ran up the stairs and into her room. The walls were coloured marine-blue, and her bed was blue and white. In the many bookshelves were I-pod´s, MP3´s and headphones, along with some fashion magazines and sketchbooks. She laid on her bed and stared into the roof.

"What is wrong?" Renamon suddenly appeared next to her, and sat down in the bed.

"Nothing...really." Rika sighed. "It´s just that......do you think that...that Lee likes me?" Renamon didn´t know what to answer. She wasn´t really the expert on human relationships, since she was a Digimon. But she just smiled and fondled Rika´s head.

"I´m sure he is." she replied, and then stood up. "Just give it some time, and I´m sure he will notice that you love him..." Rika rushed up and hugged Renamon.

"T-Thank you." She stuttered, and smiled a bit. Renamon smiled too, and hugged her back.

"You´re welcome." She said. "Now, let´s go down to the others, ok?"

"Ok..." Rika replied, as she and Renamon went out of her room and down the stairs. Suddenly, they heard a cackling laugh and a scream. "That was Mileena!" Rika said worringly, as she and Renamon rushed out of the house and into the garden. It was really beautiful, with several, colourful flowers growing everywhere, and with a fountain shaped like a phoenix in the middle. Rika and Renamon looked everywhere, but didn´t see the one who screamed.

"Up here!!" A familiar voice yelled, and Rika looked up. There was Harry, Ron, Ben and Lee, hanging upside-down in the air with some kind of magical shackles around their hands and feet.

"Lee!" Rika shouted. "What happened to you?!"

"Some wacko clown appeared and strapped us up here!" Ron replied worringly. "And we can´t get down! He went after Mileena, and she may be in danger!" Ron shrugged his head in the direction that Mileena had run. Rika nodded as she and Renamon ran in that direction.

"If she has run this way, they must be at the maze now!" Renamon implied. "We must hurry if we are supposed to find her!"

*****

After a while, Rika and Renamon reached the maze. It was actually a hedge maze, that Harry had made as a gift to Mileena. Rika and Renamon went inside, as they ran left and right to find Mileena. After a few minutes, they had reached the center, and there was Mileena. She was overjoyed to see them.

"Rika! Renamon!" She shouted, as she ran up to Rika and hugged her. "I was so worried!! I thought you were dead!" Rika pushed her away a bit.

"I´m fine, Mileena!" She replied. Now, where´s that "clown" that Ron told me about?! When I find him, I´m gonna......"

"Tell me a joke?!" A voice replied happily behind her. "I just LOOOOVE new jokes!!" Rika shivered and turned around. Behind her was Kefka, soothing upside-down in front of her, and grinned as he saw her.

"AAAHHH!!!!" Rika fell backwards, and stumbled up again. "W-Who the hell are you, freak?!!" Kefka walked down from his levitating state, and put his feet on the ground.

"Your death!" He said in a childish tone. "Cause do you know what I hate MORE than pesky little kids?! I hate pesky little GIRLS!!! They are just......SOOOO ICKY!! I HATE THEM!! That´s why I hate YOU! AND YOU, AND YOU TOO!!" He pointed at Rika, Renamon and Mileena.

"What do you have against us?!" Mileena shouted. "We have done nothing to you!" Kefka´s smile turned into a frown.

"I´m sorry, but my master have other plans for you!!" He said, as he charged at Rika. "DIE!!!!" Renamon went in his way and punched him in the face. His face just went in further in his head, as if it was made of rubber.

"W-What?!" Renamon was frightened, as her fist was rikocheted out of Kefka´s face. Kefka then tried to punch Renamon, but she ducked the attack. Suddenly, Kefka´s fist stretched out and strangled Renamon´s body like a snake. "AAH!" Renamon tried to struggle free, but Kefka just smirked and strangled her harder.

"Renamon! Hold out!" Mileena shouted, and charged up a fireball in her hands, and then launched it at Kefka. He held his other hand at the fireball.

"Don´t you disturb us with your pesky tricks, witch!" He cackled, as he launched an iceball at Mileena´s fireball. The attacks neutralised eachother, but in the confusion, Renamon managed to struggle free and attack Kefka. But Kefka dodged the attacks, one after the other, as he bended and stretched his body like rubber. And when Renamon tried to kick him in the stomach, he literally teared himself in two from the head to the waist, as the two halves of his face stared at Renamon.

"What´s the matter?" The two halves cackled. "Can´t hit me?! Too bad!" The two halves then merged together, locking Renamon´s foot in place. Kefka smirked sadistically, as he punched Renamon in the gut. She lost her breath, and held her stomach in pain. Kefka then released her foot, and kicked her through several of the hedge maze´s walls. He turned to Rika and Mileena, and cackled in his childish, sadistic tone.

"One down..." He snickered, as flames erupted in his hands. "TWO TO GO!!!!"

To be continued...
