Ryo Senada leaned over the odd girl and offered a hand to help her up. For the most part he and the others had reverted to their sub-armor so as not to startle the girl. The girl was looking at him with suspicion in her ruby-eyed gaze. "Um konnichi wa my name is Ryo Sanada" he began to withdraw his hand when suddenly a slender hand grasped it.
"And my name is Lina Inverse!" Lina could switch moods like a chameleon. When she had felt her hand touch the boys she felt that she could trust him. And Lina trusted her instincts!
Ryo helped pull the girl to her feet and grinned, one moment the girl had looked like she wanted to use that fireball thing on them and now she was standing and grinning at them as if they were all old friends. "Well I guess we should introduce ourselves...I'm as you know Ryo Sanada." Smiling he brushed back some of the long black hair that had made it's way over his eyes. He was a slender youth about average height; he seemed to be the leader of the group. His slender frame encased in red and white subarmor.
Another figure stepped forward his lithe figure encased in dark blue and white subarmor. "Hi I'm Touma Hashiba nice to meet you." He smiled as he gave her a small wave, an ever-present lock of blue hair falling over his blue headband.
"Hey I'm Shu Rei Fuan!" another figure stepped forward this one more muscular then the rest. He had a very open face unlike the rest, as he stood tall beside his friends. His dark hair fell over his orange headband, the orange seemingly matched with the color of his subarmor. The subarmor was orange and white like the others with the one color exception.
"Come on man introduce yourself!" Shu slapped his best friend on the back playfully. "Ok ok Shu no need to get so rough...my name is Shin Mouri it's a pleasure to meet you" Shin had shaggy brown hair that stopped just below his shoulders. His sub-armor slightly a lighter shade of blue then Touma's.
Ryo strode up to the girl "and this is..." he stopped when he noticed they were missing a person. "Hey Ryo I think Seiji went to go get Nastui and Jun." Touma replied as he noticed the questioning look in Ryo's eyes.
Shin turned his attention to their new friend; she looked to be around their ages but she a little shorter then the rest of them. She was also dressed oddly; the most noticeable being that she was wearing a cape with large black shoulder guards. She was wearing red pants that hugged her legs, which were tucked into high brown boots. Her gloves extended almost to her elbows, fur lined the outside rim of the gloves. A sword was haphazardly slung onto her hip, and large hooped earrings adorned her ears. A black headband around her forehead seemed to finish the outfit.
"If you don't mind us asking, where are you from Lina?" Ryo asked curiously, as usual not using any tact in his questions.
Laughing nervously the girl scratched the back of her neck, "Oh around ehehehe"
Lina laughed nervously as she gave a pathetic excuse that sounded weak to her own ears. She couldn't help but be suspicious of why these men were helping her...unless! (A chibi-Lina pops up in a dream bubble) They've fallen for my cute slender frame, my beautiful smile, my large ruby eyes, and my beautiful hair...
"Um excuse me Lina...are you ok?" the one named Shu asked in some concern.
Lina blushed crimson as she realized she had been caught staring, and daydreaming. "Ano I'm fine...to tell you the truth I don't remember where I came from. All I remember is me and my friend were searching for something when a bright light encased me and then boom I was in a room with this large floating head calling himself Arago or something like that." At their incredulous stares, she folded her arms in irritation "What I'm not lying!"
Ryo quickly waved his arms "No it's not that it's just that's who we're after. We plan on destroying him that's the only way to free all the people." The rest of his friends gave a nod of confirmation.
"What I wanna know is how you did that fire thing, I didn't see any type of weapon on you..." Touma asked curiously.
"Oh that! That was just one of my fireballs. Here I'll show you FIREBALL!" the ball of flame impacted on nearby building cause a large chunk of the brick wall to crumble. The others stood around her and stared...
"Ryo, Ryo, Ryo!" a small voice yelled over and over again. Lina turned to look at the new comers, one was a tall women with long brown hair wearing...what was she wearing anyway...the other was a small boy that looked to be about nine or ten his short brown hair cut close to his head. In his arm he carried a skateboard, the figure walking slightly had blond hair that flapped over his left eye. He paused as he stood with his friends.
"Lina this is Seiji Date" Ryo pointed to the blond hair boy in the green and white sub-armor. "And this is Jun and Nastui" this being said he pointed to the other figures. The others without the exception of Seiji, Ryo, Jun and Nastui still stood staring transfixed at the wall.
"How ...." Shu asked confused.
"Did..." Shin was equally confused.
"You..." Touma just shook his head as he looked at the small girl.
"That?!" Ryo finished turning his attention back to the demolished wall.
"It was nothing but a simple magic spell...you know magic?" Lina asked quizzically, maybe she was wrong in thinking that this world had any magic.
"We have magic here otherwise we wouldn't be wearing these. It's just that we've never seen anything like that before" Ryo mumered as he stared at the small girl in a new light.
The women known as Nastui stepped forward "Guys if the Dynasty is after her and your armors don't you think we should lay low?"
"Eh your right...c'mon guys we need to go somewhere safe." Ryo turned and began walking along down the street, turning he waved for Lina to follow. "Can't leave you behind Lina, the Dynasty may come back looking for you"
Lina grinned and jogged to catch up to Ryo, finaly she was getting somewhere! "Nani? So what now Ryo?"
"Now we find somewhere to whole up for the night and then...then we figure out a game plan to defeat Arago"
