Years ago….
The flames were everywhere of their once beloved village. The people watched with fear, a little girl had tears in her eyes, “Daddy! Where’s Daddy? I want to see Daddy!” The girl said. She was attempting to go in the inferno village but the others restrained her. “I’m sorry sweetie, but you can’t.” said a woman. “Daddy--!” The little girl protested. A man put a hand on her shoulder and smiled with reassuring. “Don’t worry, my dear. I’m sure he’s all right.” He said. “Everyone!” A voice called out. “The boats are here, let’s go!” Immediately, the people ran to the docks and onto the boats. “But what about Daddy?” The little girl begged. “Honey, the fire is getting closer. We have to go right now!” commanded another woman. She got the little girl on the boat. The men got the flag up and the engine starting, the boat start sailing away from the village but the little girl would not give up. She was about to get out of the boat and in the flaming village however other people held her back. The girl kicked and cried out, “You’re leaving Daddy behind! Why are you leaving him behind?” All of a sudden, there was a huge eruption and the village exploded. There was a red, orange, and black big cloud. Tears streaming down the little girl’s face: “Daaaaaaaaddddddddddyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!” She screamed.
The little girl sank to the floor and cried. The people looked at her, feeling guilty. Anguish filled them. The poor girl, they should’ve listened, they should’ve waited! They should’ve gone back to rescue those who could have been still alive. But they didn’t, their fear made them panicky, and they ran from the fire.That burning fire could scorched anything and everyone. Nobody knew who started the fire, this was no accident. Someone intended to start that fire. What kind of monstrosity would do such damage to their village? The little girl’s father, he was the Chief. Chief Prospero. He was dead. The Chief died in that explosion. The Chief’s daughter just lost her father, that poor girl. Her name is Calypso. And she was very angry, why couldn’t they wait? Why were they afraid? And more importantly, who started that fire? Did someone in this village started this fire? No, the people of the village loved the Chief, nobody had a grudge against him. Whoever burnt her village and killed her father; they won’t have any mercy from her. She vows to get her vengeance on who is responsible.
Years later in modern era
A young boy was standing on the ledge, the ledge crumbles under from him and he falls into this supermassive black hole. The hole has a light brightens up and he saw demonic monsters. But then the boy turns into a magician with fire coming from his hands and he burnt the monsters! Someone calls out his name, “Miko? Miko, Miko. Miko!” “’Ay-yah!” The boy exclaimed. Mikado Kunshu, he is 15 years old with dark brown hair and scarlet red eyes. The person calling him was his mother Amaterasu, his father Tenno was in the drive's seat, and Mikado’s little brother. They were in the car, driving from their hometown to a new place. “Wake up, Miko. You were talking in your sleep again.” His mother said. Mikado clutched his head, “Sorry, I just had a horrible nightmare.” He said. “This storm, son. It’s making you have bad dreams lately.” His father replied. The driving was silent except for the radio, “…weather forecast of rainstorm showers but tomorrow is going to be sunny tomorrow….” “So, Mom? Dad? Any chance I can try out for soccer?” asked Mikado, hopefully. “Hmm. That depends on the weather, Miko.” said his father, not paying attention to the radio. “Oh, don’t be silly honey! There will be sunshine tomorrow, so we’ll be sure to take you there tomorrow.” said his mother. Mikado looks at his mother funny, “Um, did you forget dad? Tomorrow is my first day of school, remember?” He reminded. “After, Miko. After.” assured his mother.
The early bell rang, 15 year old Susanoo Mikoto begin running down the empty halls, he was wearing a schoolboy uniform of long pants and a buttoned shirt. “C’mon, c’mon. I can’t be late. I know I can’t be late but what else can I do?” He thought. But when he got inside, he found himself lost and not knowing where else to go. “Ohhhhkaaaaayyyy, where do I go?” thought Susanoo. He felt agitated, “Where am I supposed to find Class 1A?” He cried. “What, you weren’t given a tour? A schedule?” A voice asked in a snarky tone. Susanoo turns around to see Mikado with a schoolboy uniform. “Yeah, been there—done that pal. I’m Mikado Kunshu.” He remarked. “I’m Susanoo Mikoto.” said Susanoo. Mikado looked at him with narrowed eyes, “Susanoo, huh. Looks like someone’s on a bad start on their first day.” He turned around and walked away with a half-hearted wave. “Later.” He confessed. Susanoo watches him go, “What’s with him?” thought Susanoo and then he walked to find his first class. In the meantime, later, the last class bell rings as students exited out of the classroom. 15 year old Tomoe Gozen trudged out, looking all red faced. She was slender, pretty, and she wore a schoolgirl uniform with a buttoned shirt with a skirt. A tall, leaned muscular boy with golden blonde hair was behind her and put his arm around her. This guy was 16 years old Kintaro 'Kintoki' Sakata, a smirk was on his face. “You did it again, Miss Gozen.” He laughed. Tomoe put her face in her hands, “Ugh, please don’t repeat it.” She moaned. “What’s going on?” A timid voice asked. It was a 13 year old boy name Momotaro Sakata, he was Kintoki's little brother. A boy with light brown hair young teenager. Blue eyes. Fair skin.
“Tomoe had once again has charmed the tomatoes out of the teacher.” Kintoki nudged at him, gesturing towards Tomoe who looked annoyed at this. Tomoe, Kintoki, and Momotaro are walking and talking but saw Susanoo unchaining his bike. Tomoe smiled, “He looks unfamiliar.” She thought. She walked over to him. Kintaro looks up in surprise to see this pretty girl approaching him. “You’re new in town, right?” Kaguya asked. “Yeah, I am.” Kintaro replied. Kaguya lent out her hand, “My name’s Tomoe Gozen, this is Kintaro Sakata and his little brother Momotaro.” She said. Susanoo shook her hands, “Hi, I’m Susanoo Mikoto.” He said. Kintoki noticed Mikado, who was getting his bike. “Hey man, what’s up?” He called out. Mikado gives him a look, “What’s it to you?” He said harshly and rode away on his bike. Susanoo, Tomoe, Kintoki, and Momotaro watched him go with offended expressions. “What’s with him?” asked Kintoki. “Hmph, what a jerk!” Tomoe scoffed. She turns back to Susanoo smiling but then she remembered something, “Say, are you coming to the prom?” asked Tomoe. Susanoo’s eyebrows raised up, “Oh, the homecoming prom? When is it?” He inquired. “Tonight.” Tomoe replied. “You’ll be there, right? Maybe we could meet as a group.” “Yeah, it’ll be a good time man!” Kintoki agreed. “It’ll be fun.” Momotaro put in timidly. Susanoo nodded, thinking about the tuxedo he wore last year at his school prom. Maybe he could use that. “Yeah, I think I got a good tux that still fits.” said Susanoo. Tomoe giggles, “Sweet! See you then." She waves Susanoo goodbye as Susanoo does too. In the meantime, Mikado was riding his bike, he was thinking about going to the dance but he was unsure.
At the prom; Susanoo entered the entrance and looked around for Tomoe, Kintoki, and Momotaro. "I wonder if they lead me on...." He thought, as he wandered through the crowds. That's when he heard it: "Susanoo!" Tomoe in her rose dress, which showed off the shoulders and her hair in a bun as she waved happily towards him. Kintoki and Momotaro look good in their tuxedos, who waved at him too. Susanoo smiled, "Hey guys!" He said, walking up to his new friends. "We're so glad you could make!" Tomoe squealed with delight. "Me too." answered Susanoo. Tomoe turned to a bunch of girls, there were five nice girls. "Oh, Susanoo! I want you to meet some sweet, pretty girls." She said. Gesturing to each of them, she started the introduction. "I like you to meet Benzaiten Burondo--" She pointed to the blonde haired girl. "--that is Kisshōten Burūno --" She pointed to the brunette haired girl. "--that is Toyotama Ruso--" Tomoe pointed to the red haired girl. "--her sister, Tamayori--" She pointed to the short red head. "--And that is her best friend, Uzume Shiawasena." Pointing to the brown haired girl. Tomoe turned to the girls and said, "Ladies!" And back to Susanoo, "This is the nice new kid, Susanoo Mikoto." She finished. Nice? Wow, for a girl, that's so kind of her to say about him. The girls smiled in delight. "Hi Susanoo!" They chorused. On the other side of the prom, Mikado was looking over as he seemed lonely. He really didn't have a date. But he really didn't do well with others. Not since back at his home.
Just then, there was loud thunder above the school that clapped so loud that the students jumped. Then a horrible wind has broke into the gym as the students and teachers were in terror as they ran. "C'mon! We gotta get out of here." called Susanoo. "Right!" agreed Kintoki. Suddenly, by surprise, he gets caught in the storm. "HELP, SOMEBODY!!!!" He cried. "SUSANOO!" screamed Tomoe, but she too got caught in the storm. One by one Mikado, Kintoki, and Momotaro got caught in the storm. Just then, each of them were glowing different colors: Susanoo glowed red, Mikado glowed whitish blue, Tomoe glowed teal (green and blue), Kintoki glowed green, and Momotaro glowed silver. Once then, they were given each powers: Fire, water, ice, earth, and air. They wake up in a world that wasn't their own. A woman was making some tea, her back towards them. She was wearing a kimono, her hair in a bun of a geisha. "Hello?" Susanoo called. The woman in the kimono turned around, her face was a kind woman. She smiled at them as a sign of greeting. "Welcome. I thought maybe I gather you all together with me. My name is Himiko, and I am the Wise Woman. I have brought all five of you to tell you that you are the New Tarocchi Arcanum. You see, a girl name Kaguya Okina--She is a priestess who is destined to bring peace however she cannot do it without your help. She is being held by Ravana as his slave. She is forced to be a toy to her so called master. I have chosen all five and Calypso to go and save her."
"What role do we have of this rescue mission?" Susanoo asked. His friends looked at one another with confusion. "To comprehend, you are given different roles of your own alter egos. These egos are based on the selected tarot card that I've chosen. For each and every one of you." Himiko said. She walks around as she first goes to Momotaro. "You, Momtaro, are Thoth the Angel who wields the wind of air." said Himiko. Momtaro looked surprised by this. Himiko smiled and turned to Kintoki, who blushed. "As for you, Kintoki, you are Diespiter the Emperor. One who wields the Mother Land of earth." said Himiko. Himiko looked over at Tomoe, "Tomoe here, is Aurora the Chariot. The sea-maiden who calms the oceans, waves, lakes, and pools of the beautiful aqua called water." She replied. Tomoe beamed, proud to hear this. Himiko glanced at Susanoo and said, "Mikado, you are Heyoka the Jester. He who calms Jack Frost's ice." Mikado raised an eyebrow at her. Susanoo looked up, "What about me?" He asked. Himiko gestured to the fireplace and she commanded, "Look here, touch the flames." Susanoo gulped, he stepped over and reached his hand in but his palm didn't burned. They did move around with the flex of his fingers, his friends were amazed by this. Susanoo is shocked by the power bestowed on him. "Whoa..." He gasped. "Susanoo, you are Hermes the Magician, the sorcerer who controls the flaring flames of fire." Himiko explained. "Do you understand now? The first task is to head to the beach but, not to have any amusement but you must find a mysterious girl of the waters. She is Chief Prospero's daughter, Calypso. People had brushed her off as an urban legend, a fairy tale, or a myth but she does exist. And she will lead you to victory to save Kaguya." She vanished and then, the others woke up to see that everyone is safe. They wondered if it was a dream however they were shocked to see that their powers are real, the five of them know what they have to do!
Underwater was so beautiful for Tomoe, the blue was so wonderful and clear. But she had to focus, she had to remember what she came here for. She looked in the sand, she looked among the fishes, she looked in the coral, she looked in the seaweed but she found nothing! With a sigh, which her sigh formed a single bubble from her breath mask and she swam up to the surface. Gasping for breath; Tomoe took off her mask and snorkel gear. She takes off her fins as she reveals wearing her bikini. Tomoe went back to her friends with a disappointed look on her face. “Did you find anything?” Susanoo asked. Tomoe shook her head sadly, “No, not really.” She said. “What do you mean ‘not really’?” demanded Mikado. Tomoe shot a glare in his direction with her eyes, “Hey, give me a break. I looked everywhere. Nothing, nada, zip!” She snapped. Susanoo shook his head, “This can’t be right, there should be something. Someone….” He said as he looked at the map. “Maybe it’s the wrong area.” Kintaro suggested. “No, these are the right coordinates.” insisted Susanoo. Mikado let out a sigh, he dropped on his knees as he buried his head for one second, and looked up with irritation. “We’re wasting our time looking for a mythological person that doesn’t exist.” He complained. “I know she exists, I know she does!” Susanoo declared as he folded up the map. Tomoe sat in a mermaid position on a rock and looked among the blue sea. “Got any better ideas?” She asked. Nobody didn’t realized that a figure was swimming up to the surface. There was bubbles that the gang can see from shore.
Tomoe was the first one to notice, “What is that?” She asked. The others gathered to see what she was pointing at. “Is it…Ohhhh…” Susanoo asked. “No, could it be?” Mikado muttered. They watched in mixed feelings of amazement and fear as a figure emerged from the deed, a young lady it looks like. She had a curvaceous figure, ivory white skin, straight black hair that covered her face. She wore a black bandeau top that revealed her midriff and matching pants that reached down towards her knees. When the girl removed the hair from her face; she revealed her face. Beautiful, dark brown eyes, small nose, and glossy black luscious lips. Mikado approached the girl as he said to her softly, “Hey, you OK?” The girl replied back in a creepy monotone, “Fire. Who started the fire?” Mikado looked at the others with a perplexed look. “What fire? What are you talking about?” He asked. “Fire, I see fire.” said the girl. “What?” Mikado asked as he leaned closer. The girl seized Mikado by the neck and they fell into the water. “Oh man, Miko!” Tomoe shouted. The girl tries to drown Mikado but he breaks free and swims, he gasped for breath. He dragged the girl away, the girl released her grip from him and ran away. “She’s getting away!” Kintoki cried. “After her!” Mikado called. They chased after the girl however they paused for a breath and they lost sight of her. “What happened?” Momotaro asked. “We lost sight of her.” Susanoo replied. “What?” Momotaro asked in disbelief. “She was too fast!” Kintoki called. In anger, Mikado kicked a tree as she was distressed over their failure. “Dammit! She got away!” Mikado cursed.
In the meantime; Calypso ran from the beach of her pursuers, she looked back to see nobody was following her. Calypso begin to relax, as she walk ahead. She found herself in a city and looked around to see the sights. She had never seen tall buildings in all her life, for she lived in a village. In the mirror; Calypso’s hair is now side swept, cascading down her slender shoulder on the left. Calypso hide in an abandoned warehouse as she sleeps on the cold floor for tonight. She falls asleep as she remembers her past as a child: She remembered that she was a little girl, on a canoe and heading towards a place. Her father is with her, who is rowing the oar of the boat. "Father, where are we going?" asked Young Calypso. Her father turned to her with a smile, "My daughter, I am taking you to see the wise Gran Dame. You will talk to her alone about anything you wish." said Chief Prospero. "Anything?" Little Calypso asked. "Anything you want, E'Calyspo." said her father. E'Calypso was Calypso's nickname because Calypso's beauty was described as 'mysterious as the solar eclipse' and her favorite dessert is eclair. They got closer to the little house by the lake. The canoe reached to shore as Calypso gets out as she looks at her father, who nods in encouragement. Calypso heads up the steps, to the house, and noticed the door is opened. So she goes in as she looked around but stops when she saw a tree. The tree came to life with eyes and a mouth. It smiled at Little Calypso, who looked startled. "Do not be afraid child, I am the Great Gran Dame. You must be the chief's daughter." said the Woman in the Tree. Calypso looked surprised, "You know my father?" She asked. Gran Dame laughed, "Of course I know your father. Everyone knows the Great Chief Prospero."
That night, Calypso managed to get back to the land, to look for the people she encountered earlier. But when she got through the forest towards the beach, it was already vacant and getting dark. She was wondering when she was hand gagged from behind. “Gotcha! Can’t get away this time.” Susanoo said with a leer on her face. Calypso struggled, muffling but she thought she heard snickering from behind. Cold anger kicked in as she somehow she was glowing and she broke free from Susanoo’s grip and let out a screeched. Susanoo and Mikado fell to the ground as they look up in horror to see Calypso's eyes glowing blue. Susanoo is frightful, "I'm--I'm sorry!" He stammered. Calypso clenched her fist tightly. "All I want is to be alone." She said with despair in her voice. Susanoo scrambled to his knees, "I know, but we just want to know who you are. Are you Calypso?" He asked. Calypso eyed him carefully, "Why do want to know about that?" She inquired. "People have been talking about you. They brush you off like your a myth but I know you're real." Susanoo explained. Calypso looked at him coldly, "People--filth! Lies!! You're all alike." She shouted. "I'm not like that! Yeah, there are people who are vile but I--I mean, my friends and I are not like that. And I'm sorry, my excitement got the best of me, forgive me. But what is your name?" Susanoo said. Calypso looks at him, she was quiet for a moment before answering. "Calypso. Calypso Atlas." She replied. "I'm Susanoo and this is my...friend, Mikado." Susanoo said, gesturing to Mikado. He didn't necessary think of Mikado as a 'friend' but he rather cut to the chase rather than talk all night. "Listen, we need your help on rescuing a priestess. You think you can help us?" Susanoo asked. Calypso listen to the situation, she thought about doing good deeds but she also wants to find the people who killed her father and burned down her village called Ogygia.
In the meantime; Kaguya's schedule as a harem slave girl went like this: Kaguya would be woken up early in the morning by the other female servants and went to practice the dances for the evening's entertainment. When that was done; She was bathing in the showers, dressed carefully, and fed breakfast. In the afternoons, Kaguya was to serve meals and beverages to her master before she could eat food herself. Once lunch had cleared; She would sit as her master's prized treasure while her master resume to conduct business with clients who would be allured or distracted by her being there. Or prisoners would be tormented by the master while being sentenced to death. During those businesses; The master smokes his hookah as he caressed her. Later, the other guards and servants would take a siesta. Kaguya was nap against her master's throne. Once in the evening, Kaguya wakes up, showered, and be made up for preparations of tonight's amusement. At supper; Kaguya, again, serves food and drinks to her master before she could eat. After dinner, the entertainment begin in a strident matter full of gambling and music in the air. Kaguya was expected to dance with the other female servants until her master could retreat to his bedroom, where he would wait for Kaguya's company. Before entering her master's quarters; she was bathed and embellish by fragrances that smelled wonderful. After her master enjoyed her company; she was to fall asleep beside him, until morning came again. All her life of doing this, she was forced to do these against her will. And if she ever refuses, then she would be killed. She cried after all of pleasing her master. Kaguya wants to be free, she abhorred violence. Violence wasn't the answer but she was tired of being distressed and not strong enough to fight back. Why can't she? What if she brings violence? She couldn't. And she was tired of sleeping. That nightmare, with the rabbits. She dreamed of rabbits: She dreamt of the White Rabbit, following the adorable White Rabbit who was trotting and hearing the words 'I'm late, terribly late for an important date!' She saw the March Hare, acting barmy as usual. But then, the dreams become dark when there were more rabbits out there: The eyes of the rabbits became red and then it shows horrifying images. Rabbits are slaughtered, there are some with blood coming out of their mouths. "The meadows...They're caked with blood!" She dreamed of running but she trips and falls down a rabbit hole. She is being clawed and bitten by the undead rabbits. Some of them have anthers, some have horns and fangs.
By the time she woke up; Kaguya was covered in sweat. She didn't know what this means and it was scaring her completely. All she ever wanted was to be rescued and to bring peace. Who would save her now? Little did she know that one champion and five warriors are going to rescue her. One day, it happened--She is rescued! Kaguya was working in the palace however she was sick of all this and took a stand by refusal however her master was about to kill her when Kaguya cringed away when her heart glowed and a burst of power killed everyone in the palace, including her master. When Kaguya looked around and saw what has happened, she freaked out. Then, a mysterious boy appears. It was none other than Mikado himself, he looked over at Kaguya in her skimpy, provocative outfit. "This is the priestess I have rescue?" Mikado said, harshly. "Tch, how pathetic!" Kaguya looked up at Mikado with sad eyes, "Please, help me." She begged. Mikado looks away, "Sorry, I don't save impuissant priestesses." He remarked. Kaguya begin to cry, "Help me. I beg of you!" She sobbed. Mikado looked at her, he looked around and saw the dead people. "Did you...do all this?" Mikado asked. Kaguya trembled with fear, she looked around and cowers of anguish. "I--I don't know..." She answered timidly. Mikado glanced at her and then he said as he outstretched his hand, "Come on, let's get out of here. I know a place where I can keep you safe." Kaguya gazed up at him, she was amazed that he was coming to free her from the cage she was living in all her life. She took it and smiled at him with gratitude as her journey of peace shall continue.
"So, you were kidnapped and forced to be a slaved by a 'monster' who was your master. He made you wear that getup, but if you refused he'd killed you." Mikado said. He was standing outside of the dressing room while Kaguya was getting changed. "Yes. It was awful. Oh! Before I forget, thank you for rescuing me." answered Kaguya. "Tell me something, Priestess, what is your task anyway?" asked Mikado. "I am to bring peace to Ogygia Village." She said, then the doorknob turned and Kaguya stepped out. "So...How do I look?" inquired Kaguya. Mikado looked over as his eyes widened slightly; Kaguya was wearing a tunic top which the sleeves reached to the elbows and almost to her wrist. She wore a long skirt that reached to her ankles and flat slippers. She wore a crown halo around her head. For a moment, Mikado thought she looked like an angel. But he got a grip on himself, "Why aren't you showing any flesh?" He asked. Kaguya looked at her outfit, "It's modesty. The priestess is forbidden to show any naked skin." She explained. "Pfft, well! You sound like a virtue with a chastity ring." Mikado remarked. Kaguya looked down but she said out loud, "I didn't have any--relations--" She blushed, "--with anyone." finished the priestess. Mikado turned away, but he muttered: "Loose perjurer." Kaguya heard him, staring at him. She pretended to not hear that however it wasn't true and it hurt. But they walked back to the group's hideout. While closing in on their hideout; Mikado turned to Kaguya with a glare. "Listen, this team is under absolute secrecy. You can't tell anyone of anything about us. We clear?" He warned. Kaguya nodded, "I won't, I promised." She said. "Promise?" Mikado asked. "I solemnly swear." vowed Kaguya. Mikado nodded, "All right, let's go." He said. They entered inside as Kaguya couldn't help but noticed how dark it was, "Why is it so dark in here?" She asked.
"We're just entering in here." Mikado said, sounding a little irked. They reached the inside from the tunnel like entrance. Kaguya gasped when she saw lights of Chinese lanterns. "Oh my...It's so beautiful." She breathed. Unknown to them is a figure in the shadows, who was creeping behind them and seized Mikado from behind. "Ah-ha!" cried the person. Mikado shoved him away to glare him, "Susanoo, you son of a bastard! What you trying to do? Kill me?" He demanded. Susanoo puts his hands up in defense, "Sorry, trying to be funny." He assured. "You won't be trying to be funny if she gets hurt." Mikado snapped, gesturing towards Kaguya who looked shy. Susanoo glanced at Kaguya, "Wow, cute. Wait, is this--?" She asked with glee. "Yes, it's the priestess. Kaguya Okina." replied Mikado, annoyed. "No fooling? Hello, Lady Priestess!" Susanoo answered. Mikado looked at this, he turns away. "Huh." He muttered. Kaguya was all eyes on Susanoo, "Magnificent..." She whispered. "Huh?" Susanoo asked, confused. Kaguya realized what she was doing, "Oh, um. The lanterns! I admire the lanterns, their quite splendid." She said quickly. Susanoo looked at the lanterns with a grin, "Thanks, this was all Momotaro and Tomoe's idea. They had a good choice in decoration." He said. "They have." agreed Mikado. They went to the elevator to the gang room. Kaguya looked shameful, "I apologize, it was wrong of me to come since now I know your..." She said. Susanoo put a hand on her shoulder, "No way, Miss Priest! You are accepted gladly from where we are. It's just..." He glanced over at Mikado, who had his back turned and whispered, "...Some people are on the defensive." Kaguya stifled a laugh, Mikado was irked. "Tch!" was all he could say. In time short, Kaguya got to meet the others: Tomoe, Kintoki, and Momotaro. But when she saw Calypso, she was in disbelief stunned.
"You, you are Calypso! The singer!" Kaguya exclaimed. Everyone else looked shocked, "The what?" asked Kintoki. "Yes, she was a singer. A singer songwriter, if I recalled." Kaguya said. The others looked over at Calypso, "So, you are a singer." said Susanoo. That wasn't a question. Calypso looked away, blushing. "Yes." She answered. "How?" Now this was a long time but Calypso decided to tell her story: "Um, I adore music. Music is great to listen to, I took voice lessons when I was a child and learned how to sing. I studied music and study singers I admired. I wrote music and always daydreaming about singing in front of thousands of people. Then, I auditioned at karaoke and someone saw me so they offered me to sing at this one place. And when I got there, I sang but I was criticized badly. So, that left me down however someone from that place contacted me and we made a deal, so I self managed with myself in singing." She looked as everyone seemed fascinated. "What inspired you to become a singer? What did you listen to?" asked Tomoe, interested in to know about her. Calypso's face was rosy pink to red but she managed to talk, "As a kid, I listened to artists like Bebe Rosado--The pop star, Astrithr, Abigail Dawn...There was Vanishing, man! Rochelle McQueen sings like a siren by the sea...." She knew it would take all day. "Um, would you like to hear one of my songs?" asked Calypso, changing the subject. Everyone nodded, "Yeah, sure." replied Tomoe. So, Calypso sang the first lines of "Mad Ballad of Ophelia". "How can you tell the difference between your true lover and some other? Your true one wears a pilgrim’s hat and a pilgrim’s sandals and staff. He is dead and gone, lady, he is dead and gone. At his head is a patch of green grass, and at his feet there is a tomb stone. Oh, ho! His death shroud was as white as snow, Covered with sweet flowers, which did not fall to the ground. In true-love showers." She stops and looks at the others, "So...What'cha think?" asked Calypso nervously. The others applauded, they were impressed by how talented Calypso is. Calypso was so thrilled that she took a bow, she felt like she can do anything. The next day, Mikado is walking to school. He walks past the students and came across Susanoo. "Hey." He said. Susanoo looked up in surprise, "'Hi' me?" He asked. "Uh, hello. How are you?" "Fine. Listen, I want to apologize for the first day and after. I guess I can be antisocial." Susanoo said. "Oh..thanks!" said Susanoo, surprised that Mikado was apologizing. So, the guys start talking about last night, about Calypso.
A CD with two music videos were out today: They were the latest ones already. The first new music video sets in Sydney, Australia where Calypso is at her apartment with a kangaroo. She is seen fishing, scuba diving, and shopping. It is hinted that she is in a witness protection program where she is being pursued by bad guys but she had enough so she sets up traps for them. The plan works; she ties them up and tortures them with girlie things. Calypso is faced with tougher guys at the beach but she fends them off and is honored as a hero. She is seen with a boy, her love interest as assumed, and they danced. There are several shots of Calypso singing live and of her crowd surfing. The second new music video starts off with Calypso waiting for her lover by the gate in London, England. There are flashbacks featured of how Calypso and her lover first met. Their rivalry, which involves with the two of them struggling to admit their feelings to one another. One day, they actually admitted their feelings to each other and shared a kiss. They go on a date in a boat. But her lover's father disapproves of this and forbids him to see her so they plan to eloped. In the present; Calypso is still waiting, thinking that her lover stood her up and was about to leave when she sees him walking towards her. She runs to him as they tenderly embrace each other. Some segments in the video show of Calypso singing in different places like the Big Ben clock tower and a bridge. The music video begins with Calypso packing her things and tearfully hugging her friends before she turns her back on them for her journey ahead of her. It changes to years later where Calypso returns and reunites with her friends. But she is surprised by how things have changed since she has been gone. Some of her friends have drifted apart from her but others still remained close. There are various scenes of Calypso and her friends going to places, going crazy in a silly way, laughing, and having a good time. In some scenes shows Calypso playing the guitar, singing in her room, and looking out her window.
While in the city with her friends; Calypso saw a big TV up on a building and look to see that it was the news channel as the reporter is talking to some children, who can talk all at once as if they are the same person. They are kind of creepy, their hair is platinum blonde hair and their eyes are grey that shimmer. Calypso stopped short, "Grimm...Wait, they look familiar...." She thought. Then, she remembered on the day her village was burnt, she was just a little girl; leaving her burning house and look out to see those grey eyes flashing at her. "Their eyes...Are they the children the same as the figure I saw before on that day...?" wondered Calypso, she begin to shudder with fear. "Calypso, are you OK?" asked Momotaro, with concern. Calypso looks at them and smiles, "Yes, come on let's go." She said. As they were walking; Calypso couldn't deny it: "I knew those eyes, I saw those eyes as I escaped from my burning house." She thought. That night; Calypso had nightmares about the children: She dreamt that she was walking down a hallway but she turned left and kept walking. She turned right and saw the children standing there with their grey eyes and platinum blonde hair align to one another. Calypso knew something unsettling was going to happen, she noticed the children were holding hands. "Come play with us, Calypso..." They said together, like a hive mind fictional character. "Let's burn together..." They said, fire appeared as a horrified Calypso watched and backs away. She covered her eyes when she saw the kids burning until there was only their bones and clothes. When she woke up; Calypso was panting and covered in cold sweat from the nightmare. Calypso conducts herself in research of the Grimm Children: Their father is Mephisto Grimm, while the Grimm Children have names--Esben is the oldest, Rowland is the second oldest, Margaret is the middle child, Wynd is the younger, and Ellen is the youngest.
In the meantime; Mikado and Kaguya are talking to one another. "Listen, Kaguya. Can you fight? At all?" asked Mikado. Kaguya shook her head, "As a pacifist, violence is not the issue on how we settle things." She explained truthfully. "It doesn't have to be, you can still fight for peace." He assured. Kaguya looked surprised, "What? Why?" inquired Kaguya. Mikado looked at her, "So nobody will kidnapped you again and again." He said. Then, he sat next to her. "You know you should try to be a martial pacifist, we can't always save you." Mikado said. Kaguya looks up in surprise, "What is that?" She asked. "A martial pacifist will often try to solve his problems with words first, and fists a distant second, typically resorting to violence only as a last resort. When that happens, he will mop the floor with anyone dumb enough to challenge him. Unlike his arrogant counterpart, he will not kill you unless he has no other choice, as killing usually goes against everything that he stands for." explained Mikado. Kaguya giggled, "There's no such think as a person like that." She said. "Actually there is." Mikado said, he pulled out papers of his research that he did and pulled out one article. "There is the Norse mythology: Thor, the great Thor was one. And there was Freyr." replied Mikado. "But they are from mythology." protested Kaguya. "Ah, that's where your wrong." Mikado put in. More articles, he begin to read them as he mentioned their names: "Number one; The Shaolin Monks studied and developed their fighting style out of self-defense and swore an oath to only use these arts to protect. They took no pride in killing, and even less in needing to fight in the first place. Number two; The entire martial art of Aikido is based on this principle. and number three--Guillaume-Henri Dufour; He was General of the Swiss army during the brief civil war, which he won with less than 100 dead on both sides combined. Later, he was instrumental in founding the Red Cross and presided over the first Geneva Convention. He was also an important topographer, leading to Switzerland's highest peak being named after him."
Convinced; Kaguya asked Mikado to teach her how to fight well. To her amazement, Mikado was an excellent trainer who helped her how to fight. How to knock down other enemies, how to watch out for the backside and front. Kaguya was preparing for the dark days to come and one day, it came. Another storm came but this time, it took place in the daytime and it nearly blew the heroes away from their base. But Kaguya escapes however when she looked around, she found herself in a stranded area as she called out for help but there was no one there. No one, at all. She was so desperate nevertheless she had to stay calm and use her time to use the skills that she was taught by Mikado. Even Calypso helped her, for she survived in places when she abandoned by the villagers. Building a survival shelter is an absolute priority for Kaguya. She was faced in a survival situation in harsh or unpredictable weather. A good shelter must protect her from the elements and be comfortable enough for resting and sleeping. She knew that most people cannot survive unprotected from rough weather for more than a few hours. Lucky for her, Calypso did find a good shelter: It was dry, well drained and reasonably flat. It looked comfortable, distance to water and has a supply of firewood. It has building materials for your shelter and provides protection against strong winds. She remembered that Calypso had added a shelter tarp, an emergency blanket and an extra poncho to her gear. Perfect! It was complete. Now it was time to find water. But that wasn't going to be easy so she looked around and not a single trace of clean water was found. She remembered on how to make a water filter so she gathered water in a container she packed and she recalled on what Calypso told her: "To start with, you need a container. If you can find a large, empty can, use it. Punch 5-10 holes in the bottom of the can. A large plastic bottle is also fine. Cut the end of the bottle off evenly. If there is no container available, you have to use what material that nature can provide, or that you brought with you. If you find a birch tree, make a cone of birch bark. The cone will need to have a fairly small hole in the bottom. Tie the cone with rope to keep it from opening up. Now the first, you need to stop the sand to get out of the container. Find some filter material you can place at the bottom. For instance; inches of pebbles, a grass mesh, make sure it’s nonpoisonous grass, or cotton material."
Kaguya learned how to do it as the teachings echoed in her memory:"Add a layer of gravel. The main purpose of the gravel layer is to strengthen the filter material and prevent sand mixed with the water you get from the filter. Fill your bottle or cone with sand. Collect some water. Pour your collected water through the filter. Catch it in another container at the bottom. Look at the water that comes out of the filter. It should be clear. If not, you may have to pass the water through the filter more than once." Now she made her own water filter and puts water in there and she can drink it. It is essential to understand where to find survival food, even food is the least pressing wilderness survival need. With plenty of water and a comfortable resting place, most of humans can live many weeks without food. However, food is important for Kaguya's mental and emotional state, as well as a source of energy and to maintain a normal body temperature. In a survival situation, she has to take advantage of everything available to eat. Most wilderness areas are full of natural food, ranging from plants to insects. The food sources Kaguya can exploit are determined by the habitat she was in. Vary her diet to make sure you get the appropriate proportions of fat, protein, carbohydrates, minerals and vitamins. Meat and fish are good sources of protein and fat and provide virtually everything a long-term survivor would need. However, at the first stage of a survival situation, plants are the most appropriate diet as plants are easily accessible and contain the necessary carbohydrates. She ate bugs that were editable: worms, grasshoppers, crickets, and ants. Not her cup of tea but what else could she do?
Then, Kaguya recalled something she had learn, which is the figure-four trap. It's very effective, but it needs some practice to make. Kaguya knows that she is unlikely to get it right first time. Her intention should be to create a stable trap, but with a trigger that will cause the trap to collapse, even to the slightest touch. The deadfall trap works on the principle that when the bait is taken a weight falls on the prey. This live animal trap can be made to any size. But she knew that it wouldn't work for the first time but it was worth a shot. The deadfall trap had a trigger, a horizontal bait bar is balanced at appropriate angles to an upright with a locking bar, which supports a heavy weight pivoting around the tip of the upright, see the figure above. As a weight, use a heavy log or rock. Another variation of the trigger mechanism is shown to the right. It's very simple and no tools are required. Using two long sticks and one short stick; She made sure the contact point of the weight is close to the main support stick. Kaguya also need to find kindling with the tinder and fuel she had packed. She made a fire with ease and it started. Just as Mikado taught her. She tended to the fire but after a few hours; she had to create an SOS, which meant Save Our Souls, is the best known international distress signal. Everyone should be familiar with SOS. The SOS signal can be transmitted by any method, visual or audio. She remembered the code for SOS is 3 short, 3 long and 3 short signals. Pause. Repeat the signal. The SOS signal can, for instance, be constructed as a ground to air signal with rocks and logs, or whatever material she have available. At night she can use a flashlight or a strobe light to send an SOS to, for instance, an aircraft. During the day, she can use a signal mirror. If it is difficult to produce long and short signals, Kaguya should know that almost any signal repeated three times will serve as a distress signal.
Just then, Kaguya looked around and saw someone who made camp and was flashing an SOS. Curious; she went over to see who needed help. She was surprised to see Tomoe, who looked up and smiled at her friend. "Kaguya! You're alive!" said Tomoe with relief. "Yes." answered Kaguya. Tomoe walked over to her friend, "Thank God, you're OK." She replied. Before the two girls embraced; someone from behind seized and poised Tomoe with a knife. "Ah!" gasped Tomoe. "Hey!" Kaguya cried. "Let me go! Let me go!" wailed Tomoe. Kaguya had her spear with her, the one that she used to catch fish. "Take your hands off her!" She ordered. However someone came from behind and bound her wrists, "Get off me!" She exclaimed. However a tissue covered her mouth and she passed out. As she woke up; She was tied up to a chair and Kaguya couldn't escape at all. This was too much for her. No escape. While kidnapped; Kaguya begin to think rationally and she have to be cooperative in this sort of situation. Her adrenaline will be pumping, her heart will be pounding, and she will be terrified. She had to calm down. The sooner she can regain your composure the better off you will be immediately and in the long run. Right from the start, she should try to observe and remember as much as possible in order to help her plan an escape, predict abductor's next moves, or give information to the police to aid in a rescue or to help apprehend and convict the kidnapper. At the same time, she had to be positive. Most kidnapping victims survive--the odds are with her. That said, she should prepare herself for a long captivity. Some hostages have been held for years, but they kept a positive attitude, played their cards right, and were eventually freed. Take it one day at a time.
One of the captors looked over her, Kaguya looked back with no glare at her. It is generally psychologically harder for a person to kill, rape, or otherwise harm a captive if the captive remains "human" in the captor's eyes. She did not grovel, beg, or become hysterical. She tried even not to cry. She will not challenge her abductor, but show him that him are worthy of respect. The guy untied her, then he asked her: "So, who are you little missy?" She swallowed and said, "I, Kaguya Okina, am here to bring the world peace. I do not wish for violence, please let me in..." But she stops when one of the captors jump at her, "I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet." He recited, a verse from the Scriptures. Then; Kaguya could feel his hands on her bare skin, she felt cold anger and kicked him in between his legs. The guy groans in pain, loosen his grip, and Kaguya tried to run however the guy wraps himself around her and bangs her hard against a wall as he forcefully kissed her. In the kiss; Kaguya bite his lip hard. The man yelled, he was furious and grabbed Kaguya's neck, choking her. She was about to die without air in her throat, when that same burst of power, she had before with her monstrous master she was enslaved, came from her and the captor cry out in pain. He fell backwards, he was critically injured as he fell unconscious. Kaguya was shocked, she begin to weep sorrowfully. "Oh my God...." She gasped. "Oh...." She wept and wept until there was nothing left.
She thought of what Mikado said about martial pacifists: "A martial pacifist will often try to solve his problems with words first, and fists a distant second, typically resorting to violence only as a last resort. When that happens, he will mop the floor with anyone dumb enough to challenge him." She remembered what he also said to her, "You can do it, Kaguya. After all we've taught you, you are a warrior." "I don't think I'm a warrior." She replied nervously. "Sure you are, you just don't know it yet." confirmed Mikado. "How do you know that?" asked Kaguya. Mikado smirked, "I just do." He answered smugly. She remembered something from her past: When she was just a little girl; her mother used to tuck her into bed and she'd read her a story. It always was about a princess in distress, And how a guy would save her. Then end up with the glory of marrying her. Living happily ever after. Little Kaguya would lie in bed and think about the person that she want to be. Now, this day has come when she realized the fairy tale life wasn't for her. Kaguya knew what she had to do, She remembered her pacifist passage she had to follow: "With Jah as my witness, I swear on my name and my life, that I shall do no harm, that I shall place the saving of life and easing of suffering above self, above family, that my duty is not to my people, or to my nation, but to all of humanity." She realized that she cannot go by that anymore. She knew that Mikado, Susanoo, and Calypso were right: "I understand, I cannot cause violence. I cannot hurt a mortal. Forgive me but...My friends, they are right. I can't count anyone to save me. I....I need to get stronger. I have to rescue only me." She thought. "I'm going set me free."
Taking the sword on the ground; Kaguya fought back. Every enemy she encountered, she wasn't afraid to take a swing. She would not take pride in killing or harming but rather to save herself and remorse for what she has done to her foes. She doesn't want be like Cinderella, all she does is sit in a dark old dusty cellar--waiting for somebody to come and set her free. Nor like Snow White waiting for a handsome prince to come and save her with a magic kiss. She doesn't want to depend on no one else. As she fights; Kaguya never felt like this. She can do anything now: Kaguya can slay her own dragons. She can dream her own dreams. And that knight in shining armor? It's her! She found a building of jail cells as she heads over there. Calypso, Susanoo, Mikado, Tomoe, Kintoki, and Momotaro were waiting for them when they saw Kaguya coming to the rescue. They were happy to see her. Kaguya frees them with her sword as they escape. But the Grimm Children confronts them: "Kaguya, so you somehow become stronger. Not surprising....But you're path of peace will be demolished." They said, talking as one--Like a Legion. They fought against Kaguya, who is being allied with Calypso and the others. One of the children used their snake powers and bit Calypso in the arm. Calypso begin to cry out in pain. But to her surprise, it automatically heals and she grins triumphantly.
The Grimm Children laid down, defeated. They glared up at Calypso, Kaguya, and the gang. "Impossible! The poison should've killed you two girls!" said the children. Calypso rolled up her sleeves as she revealed that the poison was already healed. "Sorry, you may have got me but I have a secret weapon--My woulds healed faster than any bites would normally do." The Grimm Children were shocked, they looked away before chuckling insanely. They looked up; sneering at Calypso, "Y'know, I woul've gone away with it too...If it weren't for you meddling kids." They said. Calypso smirks back at them, "Hmph, like I never heard that before." She scoffed. She leaned over and said, "Now tell me...Your eyes, they look familiar. Are you the one that burned down my village?" "No, I did." A voice said. Calypso looked up to see a dark silhouetted man. But his face showed of a weasel or fox-like appearance. "Mephisto." Calypso said, giving him a glare. "Dad...dddy." said the Grimm Children, as if it was one person saying it. Kaguya and the others look shocked. "Daddy?" Susanoo and his friends cried in unison. "Mephisto is their father?" Kaguya thought. "So, you're Mephisto Grimm." Calypso said. "Yes, I am. Why that's the first time I address myself in front of my enemies." Mephisto remarked. "I'm going to ask you this, why did you kill my father?" Calypso said.
"Here's one reason why and I'll tell you....Didn't your father ever told you about the fact that he and I were once business partners?" Mephisto asked. This surprised Calypso, "No." She said. "He'd never told me things like that." She answered. "Hmm, he didn't want to worry you so much. Not since your mother died....Anyway, he and I invested with a guy known as Mr. Ector and he was supposed to have fair share of the money, but that selfless bastard wanted to have more because of the village." Mephisto said. "My father needed a lot more, our village was dying and we didn't had any other food." Calypso interjected. "Yes, I went to the village and confronted him but he refused, saying I cheated off my own pay which pissed me off. I was filled with rage ad burnt that son of a bitch to the ground!" Mephisto shrieked. "You killed my father all because you didn't get your own money?" demanded Calypso, "You really are a selfish jerk-off aren't you?!" "Oh, am I? I think you should....LOOK IN THE MIRROR!!!!" Mephisto cried, throwing Calypso to the ground. She gets up but saw Mephisto with his sword. "I'm going to finish you just like I did with your daddy." Mephisto exclaimed, raising his weapon as if he was ready to stab her. Calypso cringed away, but she noticed she was dying and looked to see Kaguya and the others were defending her. Calypso was touched by this, The Grimm Children couldn't believe it: "Impossible!" They shouted. "Nothing is impossible when you got friends like us!" exclaimed Susanoo. "We're not going to let you get away with this, Calypso is our friend and she stays with us." Mikado said. "Yes, Calypso is our friend, she is the reason to help us all. And I will bring everyone to the world of peace. I will not give up. Never!" Kaguya said.
Calypso gets up, "You shoot me down, I get up and I won't fall again. You may have burnt my village, you may have killed my father but you will not burned me alive!" She exclaims. With their powers combined; Calypso and her friends defeated Mephisto, who was bleeding from his shoulder. "Daddy!" cried the Children, rushing over to aid him. "Well done, Calypso. But don't think this is over, I will be back to destroy you." Mephisto said, there was a smoke that covered him and his children. By the time the fog cleared; the Grimms were already gone. "And I'll be ready." Calypso claimed. Calypso and the others went home, where Kaguya becomes a warrior and a new member. Calypso learned that her village was being re-build but still there are many troubles lurking there. Calypso is determined to see it once again and take down Mephisto.
A young boy was standing on the ledge, the ledge crumbles under from him and he falls into this supermassive black hole. The hole has a light brightens up and he saw demonic monsters. But then the boy turns into a magician with fire coming from his hands and he burnt the monsters! Someone calls out his name, “Miko? Miko, Miko. Miko!” “’Ay-yah!” The boy exclaimed. Mikado Kunshu, he is 15 years old with dark brown hair and scarlet red eyes. The person calling him was his mother Amaterasu, his father Tenno was in the drive's seat, and Mikado’s little brother. They were in the car, driving from their hometown to a new place. “Wake up, Miko. You were talking in your sleep again.” His mother said. Mikado clutched his head, “Sorry, I just had a horrible nightmare.” He said. “This storm, son. It’s making you have bad dreams lately.” His father replied. The driving was silent except for the radio, “…weather forecast of rainstorm showers but tomorrow is going to be sunny tomorrow….” “So, Mom? Dad? Any chance I can try out for soccer?” asked Mikado, hopefully. “Hmm. That depends on the weather, Miko.” said his father, not paying attention to the radio. “Oh, don’t be silly honey! There will be sunshine tomorrow, so we’ll be sure to take you there tomorrow.” said his mother. Mikado looks at his mother funny, “Um, did you forget dad? Tomorrow is my first day of school, remember?” He reminded. “After, Miko. After.” assured his mother.
The early bell rang, 15 year old Susanoo Mikoto begin running down the empty halls, he was wearing a schoolboy uniform of long pants and a buttoned shirt. “C’mon, c’mon. I can’t be late. I know I can’t be late but what else can I do?” He thought. But when he got inside, he found himself lost and not knowing where else to go. “Ohhhhkaaaaayyyy, where do I go?” thought Susanoo. He felt agitated, “Where am I supposed to find Class 1A?” He cried. “What, you weren’t given a tour? A schedule?” A voice asked in a snarky tone. Susanoo turns around to see Mikado with a schoolboy uniform. “Yeah, been there—done that pal. I’m Mikado Kunshu.” He remarked. “I’m Susanoo Mikoto.” said Susanoo. Mikado looked at him with narrowed eyes, “Susanoo, huh. Looks like someone’s on a bad start on their first day.” He turned around and walked away with a half-hearted wave. “Later.” He confessed. Susanoo watches him go, “What’s with him?” thought Susanoo and then he walked to find his first class. In the meantime, later, the last class bell rings as students exited out of the classroom. 15 year old Tomoe Gozen trudged out, looking all red faced. She was slender, pretty, and she wore a schoolgirl uniform with a buttoned shirt with a skirt. A tall, leaned muscular boy with golden blonde hair was behind her and put his arm around her. This guy was 16 years old Kintaro 'Kintoki' Sakata, a smirk was on his face. “You did it again, Miss Gozen.” He laughed. Tomoe put her face in her hands, “Ugh, please don’t repeat it.” She moaned. “What’s going on?” A timid voice asked. It was a 13 year old boy name Momotaro Sakata, he was Kintoki's little brother. A boy with light brown hair young teenager. Blue eyes. Fair skin.
“Tomoe had once again has charmed the tomatoes out of the teacher.” Kintoki nudged at him, gesturing towards Tomoe who looked annoyed at this. Tomoe, Kintoki, and Momotaro are walking and talking but saw Susanoo unchaining his bike. Tomoe smiled, “He looks unfamiliar.” She thought. She walked over to him. Kintaro looks up in surprise to see this pretty girl approaching him. “You’re new in town, right?” Kaguya asked. “Yeah, I am.” Kintaro replied. Kaguya lent out her hand, “My name’s Tomoe Gozen, this is Kintaro Sakata and his little brother Momotaro.” She said. Susanoo shook her hands, “Hi, I’m Susanoo Mikoto.” He said. Kintoki noticed Mikado, who was getting his bike. “Hey man, what’s up?” He called out. Mikado gives him a look, “What’s it to you?” He said harshly and rode away on his bike. Susanoo, Tomoe, Kintoki, and Momotaro watched him go with offended expressions. “What’s with him?” asked Kintoki. “Hmph, what a jerk!” Tomoe scoffed. She turns back to Susanoo smiling but then she remembered something, “Say, are you coming to the prom?” asked Tomoe. Susanoo’s eyebrows raised up, “Oh, the homecoming prom? When is it?” He inquired. “Tonight.” Tomoe replied. “You’ll be there, right? Maybe we could meet as a group.” “Yeah, it’ll be a good time man!” Kintoki agreed. “It’ll be fun.” Momotaro put in timidly. Susanoo nodded, thinking about the tuxedo he wore last year at his school prom. Maybe he could use that. “Yeah, I think I got a good tux that still fits.” said Susanoo. Tomoe giggles, “Sweet! See you then." She waves Susanoo goodbye as Susanoo does too. In the meantime, Mikado was riding his bike, he was thinking about going to the dance but he was unsure.
At the prom; Susanoo entered the entrance and looked around for Tomoe, Kintoki, and Momotaro. "I wonder if they lead me on...." He thought, as he wandered through the crowds. That's when he heard it: "Susanoo!" Tomoe in her rose dress, which showed off the shoulders and her hair in a bun as she waved happily towards him. Kintoki and Momotaro look good in their tuxedos, who waved at him too. Susanoo smiled, "Hey guys!" He said, walking up to his new friends. "We're so glad you could make!" Tomoe squealed with delight. "Me too." answered Susanoo. Tomoe turned to a bunch of girls, there were five nice girls. "Oh, Susanoo! I want you to meet some sweet, pretty girls." She said. Gesturing to each of them, she started the introduction. "I like you to meet Benzaiten Burondo--" She pointed to the blonde haired girl. "--that is Kisshōten Burūno --" She pointed to the brunette haired girl. "--that is Toyotama Ruso--" Tomoe pointed to the red haired girl. "--her sister, Tamayori--" She pointed to the short red head. "--And that is her best friend, Uzume Shiawasena." Pointing to the brown haired girl. Tomoe turned to the girls and said, "Ladies!" And back to Susanoo, "This is the nice new kid, Susanoo Mikoto." She finished. Nice? Wow, for a girl, that's so kind of her to say about him. The girls smiled in delight. "Hi Susanoo!" They chorused. On the other side of the prom, Mikado was looking over as he seemed lonely. He really didn't have a date. But he really didn't do well with others. Not since back at his home.
Just then, there was loud thunder above the school that clapped so loud that the students jumped. Then a horrible wind has broke into the gym as the students and teachers were in terror as they ran. "C'mon! We gotta get out of here." called Susanoo. "Right!" agreed Kintoki. Suddenly, by surprise, he gets caught in the storm. "HELP, SOMEBODY!!!!" He cried. "SUSANOO!" screamed Tomoe, but she too got caught in the storm. One by one Mikado, Kintoki, and Momotaro got caught in the storm. Just then, each of them were glowing different colors: Susanoo glowed red, Mikado glowed whitish blue, Tomoe glowed teal (green and blue), Kintoki glowed green, and Momotaro glowed silver. Once then, they were given each powers: Fire, water, ice, earth, and air. They wake up in a world that wasn't their own. A woman was making some tea, her back towards them. She was wearing a kimono, her hair in a bun of a geisha. "Hello?" Susanoo called. The woman in the kimono turned around, her face was a kind woman. She smiled at them as a sign of greeting. "Welcome. I thought maybe I gather you all together with me. My name is Himiko, and I am the Wise Woman. I have brought all five of you to tell you that you are the New Tarocchi Arcanum. You see, a girl name Kaguya Okina--She is a priestess who is destined to bring peace however she cannot do it without your help. She is being held by Ravana as his slave. She is forced to be a toy to her so called master. I have chosen all five and Calypso to go and save her."
"What role do we have of this rescue mission?" Susanoo asked. His friends looked at one another with confusion. "To comprehend, you are given different roles of your own alter egos. These egos are based on the selected tarot card that I've chosen. For each and every one of you." Himiko said. She walks around as she first goes to Momotaro. "You, Momtaro, are Thoth the Angel who wields the wind of air." said Himiko. Momtaro looked surprised by this. Himiko smiled and turned to Kintoki, who blushed. "As for you, Kintoki, you are Diespiter the Emperor. One who wields the Mother Land of earth." said Himiko. Himiko looked over at Tomoe, "Tomoe here, is Aurora the Chariot. The sea-maiden who calms the oceans, waves, lakes, and pools of the beautiful aqua called water." She replied. Tomoe beamed, proud to hear this. Himiko glanced at Susanoo and said, "Mikado, you are Heyoka the Jester. He who calms Jack Frost's ice." Mikado raised an eyebrow at her. Susanoo looked up, "What about me?" He asked. Himiko gestured to the fireplace and she commanded, "Look here, touch the flames." Susanoo gulped, he stepped over and reached his hand in but his palm didn't burned. They did move around with the flex of his fingers, his friends were amazed by this. Susanoo is shocked by the power bestowed on him. "Whoa..." He gasped. "Susanoo, you are Hermes the Magician, the sorcerer who controls the flaring flames of fire." Himiko explained. "Do you understand now? The first task is to head to the beach but, not to have any amusement but you must find a mysterious girl of the waters. She is Chief Prospero's daughter, Calypso. People had brushed her off as an urban legend, a fairy tale, or a myth but she does exist. And she will lead you to victory to save Kaguya." She vanished and then, the others woke up to see that everyone is safe. They wondered if it was a dream however they were shocked to see that their powers are real, the five of them know what they have to do!
Underwater was so beautiful for Tomoe, the blue was so wonderful and clear. But she had to focus, she had to remember what she came here for. She looked in the sand, she looked among the fishes, she looked in the coral, she looked in the seaweed but she found nothing! With a sigh, which her sigh formed a single bubble from her breath mask and she swam up to the surface. Gasping for breath; Tomoe took off her mask and snorkel gear. She takes off her fins as she reveals wearing her bikini. Tomoe went back to her friends with a disappointed look on her face. “Did you find anything?” Susanoo asked. Tomoe shook her head sadly, “No, not really.” She said. “What do you mean ‘not really’?” demanded Mikado. Tomoe shot a glare in his direction with her eyes, “Hey, give me a break. I looked everywhere. Nothing, nada, zip!” She snapped. Susanoo shook his head, “This can’t be right, there should be something. Someone….” He said as he looked at the map. “Maybe it’s the wrong area.” Kintaro suggested. “No, these are the right coordinates.” insisted Susanoo. Mikado let out a sigh, he dropped on his knees as he buried his head for one second, and looked up with irritation. “We’re wasting our time looking for a mythological person that doesn’t exist.” He complained. “I know she exists, I know she does!” Susanoo declared as he folded up the map. Tomoe sat in a mermaid position on a rock and looked among the blue sea. “Got any better ideas?” She asked. Nobody didn’t realized that a figure was swimming up to the surface. There was bubbles that the gang can see from shore.
Tomoe was the first one to notice, “What is that?” She asked. The others gathered to see what she was pointing at. “Is it…Ohhhh…” Susanoo asked. “No, could it be?” Mikado muttered. They watched in mixed feelings of amazement and fear as a figure emerged from the deed, a young lady it looks like. She had a curvaceous figure, ivory white skin, straight black hair that covered her face. She wore a black bandeau top that revealed her midriff and matching pants that reached down towards her knees. When the girl removed the hair from her face; she revealed her face. Beautiful, dark brown eyes, small nose, and glossy black luscious lips. Mikado approached the girl as he said to her softly, “Hey, you OK?” The girl replied back in a creepy monotone, “Fire. Who started the fire?” Mikado looked at the others with a perplexed look. “What fire? What are you talking about?” He asked. “Fire, I see fire.” said the girl. “What?” Mikado asked as he leaned closer. The girl seized Mikado by the neck and they fell into the water. “Oh man, Miko!” Tomoe shouted. The girl tries to drown Mikado but he breaks free and swims, he gasped for breath. He dragged the girl away, the girl released her grip from him and ran away. “She’s getting away!” Kintoki cried. “After her!” Mikado called. They chased after the girl however they paused for a breath and they lost sight of her. “What happened?” Momotaro asked. “We lost sight of her.” Susanoo replied. “What?” Momotaro asked in disbelief. “She was too fast!” Kintoki called. In anger, Mikado kicked a tree as she was distressed over their failure. “Dammit! She got away!” Mikado cursed.
In the meantime; Calypso ran from the beach of her pursuers, she looked back to see nobody was following her. Calypso begin to relax, as she walk ahead. She found herself in a city and looked around to see the sights. She had never seen tall buildings in all her life, for she lived in a village. In the mirror; Calypso’s hair is now side swept, cascading down her slender shoulder on the left. Calypso hide in an abandoned warehouse as she sleeps on the cold floor for tonight. She falls asleep as she remembers her past as a child: She remembered that she was a little girl, on a canoe and heading towards a place. Her father is with her, who is rowing the oar of the boat. "Father, where are we going?" asked Young Calypso. Her father turned to her with a smile, "My daughter, I am taking you to see the wise Gran Dame. You will talk to her alone about anything you wish." said Chief Prospero. "Anything?" Little Calypso asked. "Anything you want, E'Calyspo." said her father. E'Calypso was Calypso's nickname because Calypso's beauty was described as 'mysterious as the solar eclipse' and her favorite dessert is eclair. They got closer to the little house by the lake. The canoe reached to shore as Calypso gets out as she looks at her father, who nods in encouragement. Calypso heads up the steps, to the house, and noticed the door is opened. So she goes in as she looked around but stops when she saw a tree. The tree came to life with eyes and a mouth. It smiled at Little Calypso, who looked startled. "Do not be afraid child, I am the Great Gran Dame. You must be the chief's daughter." said the Woman in the Tree. Calypso looked surprised, "You know my father?" She asked. Gran Dame laughed, "Of course I know your father. Everyone knows the Great Chief Prospero."
That night, Calypso managed to get back to the land, to look for the people she encountered earlier. But when she got through the forest towards the beach, it was already vacant and getting dark. She was wondering when she was hand gagged from behind. “Gotcha! Can’t get away this time.” Susanoo said with a leer on her face. Calypso struggled, muffling but she thought she heard snickering from behind. Cold anger kicked in as she somehow she was glowing and she broke free from Susanoo’s grip and let out a screeched. Susanoo and Mikado fell to the ground as they look up in horror to see Calypso's eyes glowing blue. Susanoo is frightful, "I'm--I'm sorry!" He stammered. Calypso clenched her fist tightly. "All I want is to be alone." She said with despair in her voice. Susanoo scrambled to his knees, "I know, but we just want to know who you are. Are you Calypso?" He asked. Calypso eyed him carefully, "Why do want to know about that?" She inquired. "People have been talking about you. They brush you off like your a myth but I know you're real." Susanoo explained. Calypso looked at him coldly, "People--filth! Lies!! You're all alike." She shouted. "I'm not like that! Yeah, there are people who are vile but I--I mean, my friends and I are not like that. And I'm sorry, my excitement got the best of me, forgive me. But what is your name?" Susanoo said. Calypso looks at him, she was quiet for a moment before answering. "Calypso. Calypso Atlas." She replied. "I'm Susanoo and this is my...friend, Mikado." Susanoo said, gesturing to Mikado. He didn't necessary think of Mikado as a 'friend' but he rather cut to the chase rather than talk all night. "Listen, we need your help on rescuing a priestess. You think you can help us?" Susanoo asked. Calypso listen to the situation, she thought about doing good deeds but she also wants to find the people who killed her father and burned down her village called Ogygia.
In the meantime; Kaguya's schedule as a harem slave girl went like this: Kaguya would be woken up early in the morning by the other female servants and went to practice the dances for the evening's entertainment. When that was done; She was bathing in the showers, dressed carefully, and fed breakfast. In the afternoons, Kaguya was to serve meals and beverages to her master before she could eat food herself. Once lunch had cleared; She would sit as her master's prized treasure while her master resume to conduct business with clients who would be allured or distracted by her being there. Or prisoners would be tormented by the master while being sentenced to death. During those businesses; The master smokes his hookah as he caressed her. Later, the other guards and servants would take a siesta. Kaguya was nap against her master's throne. Once in the evening, Kaguya wakes up, showered, and be made up for preparations of tonight's amusement. At supper; Kaguya, again, serves food and drinks to her master before she could eat. After dinner, the entertainment begin in a strident matter full of gambling and music in the air. Kaguya was expected to dance with the other female servants until her master could retreat to his bedroom, where he would wait for Kaguya's company. Before entering her master's quarters; she was bathed and embellish by fragrances that smelled wonderful. After her master enjoyed her company; she was to fall asleep beside him, until morning came again. All her life of doing this, she was forced to do these against her will. And if she ever refuses, then she would be killed. She cried after all of pleasing her master. Kaguya wants to be free, she abhorred violence. Violence wasn't the answer but she was tired of being distressed and not strong enough to fight back. Why can't she? What if she brings violence? She couldn't. And she was tired of sleeping. That nightmare, with the rabbits. She dreamed of rabbits: She dreamt of the White Rabbit, following the adorable White Rabbit who was trotting and hearing the words 'I'm late, terribly late for an important date!' She saw the March Hare, acting barmy as usual. But then, the dreams become dark when there were more rabbits out there: The eyes of the rabbits became red and then it shows horrifying images. Rabbits are slaughtered, there are some with blood coming out of their mouths. "The meadows...They're caked with blood!" She dreamed of running but she trips and falls down a rabbit hole. She is being clawed and bitten by the undead rabbits. Some of them have anthers, some have horns and fangs.
By the time she woke up; Kaguya was covered in sweat. She didn't know what this means and it was scaring her completely. All she ever wanted was to be rescued and to bring peace. Who would save her now? Little did she know that one champion and five warriors are going to rescue her. One day, it happened--She is rescued! Kaguya was working in the palace however she was sick of all this and took a stand by refusal however her master was about to kill her when Kaguya cringed away when her heart glowed and a burst of power killed everyone in the palace, including her master. When Kaguya looked around and saw what has happened, she freaked out. Then, a mysterious boy appears. It was none other than Mikado himself, he looked over at Kaguya in her skimpy, provocative outfit. "This is the priestess I have rescue?" Mikado said, harshly. "Tch, how pathetic!" Kaguya looked up at Mikado with sad eyes, "Please, help me." She begged. Mikado looks away, "Sorry, I don't save impuissant priestesses." He remarked. Kaguya begin to cry, "Help me. I beg of you!" She sobbed. Mikado looked at her, he looked around and saw the dead people. "Did you...do all this?" Mikado asked. Kaguya trembled with fear, she looked around and cowers of anguish. "I--I don't know..." She answered timidly. Mikado glanced at her and then he said as he outstretched his hand, "Come on, let's get out of here. I know a place where I can keep you safe." Kaguya gazed up at him, she was amazed that he was coming to free her from the cage she was living in all her life. She took it and smiled at him with gratitude as her journey of peace shall continue.
"So, you were kidnapped and forced to be a slaved by a 'monster' who was your master. He made you wear that getup, but if you refused he'd killed you." Mikado said. He was standing outside of the dressing room while Kaguya was getting changed. "Yes. It was awful. Oh! Before I forget, thank you for rescuing me." answered Kaguya. "Tell me something, Priestess, what is your task anyway?" asked Mikado. "I am to bring peace to Ogygia Village." She said, then the doorknob turned and Kaguya stepped out. "So...How do I look?" inquired Kaguya. Mikado looked over as his eyes widened slightly; Kaguya was wearing a tunic top which the sleeves reached to the elbows and almost to her wrist. She wore a long skirt that reached to her ankles and flat slippers. She wore a crown halo around her head. For a moment, Mikado thought she looked like an angel. But he got a grip on himself, "Why aren't you showing any flesh?" He asked. Kaguya looked at her outfit, "It's modesty. The priestess is forbidden to show any naked skin." She explained. "Pfft, well! You sound like a virtue with a chastity ring." Mikado remarked. Kaguya looked down but she said out loud, "I didn't have any--relations--" She blushed, "--with anyone." finished the priestess. Mikado turned away, but he muttered: "Loose perjurer." Kaguya heard him, staring at him. She pretended to not hear that however it wasn't true and it hurt. But they walked back to the group's hideout. While closing in on their hideout; Mikado turned to Kaguya with a glare. "Listen, this team is under absolute secrecy. You can't tell anyone of anything about us. We clear?" He warned. Kaguya nodded, "I won't, I promised." She said. "Promise?" Mikado asked. "I solemnly swear." vowed Kaguya. Mikado nodded, "All right, let's go." He said. They entered inside as Kaguya couldn't help but noticed how dark it was, "Why is it so dark in here?" She asked.
"We're just entering in here." Mikado said, sounding a little irked. They reached the inside from the tunnel like entrance. Kaguya gasped when she saw lights of Chinese lanterns. "Oh my...It's so beautiful." She breathed. Unknown to them is a figure in the shadows, who was creeping behind them and seized Mikado from behind. "Ah-ha!" cried the person. Mikado shoved him away to glare him, "Susanoo, you son of a bastard! What you trying to do? Kill me?" He demanded. Susanoo puts his hands up in defense, "Sorry, trying to be funny." He assured. "You won't be trying to be funny if she gets hurt." Mikado snapped, gesturing towards Kaguya who looked shy. Susanoo glanced at Kaguya, "Wow, cute. Wait, is this--?" She asked with glee. "Yes, it's the priestess. Kaguya Okina." replied Mikado, annoyed. "No fooling? Hello, Lady Priestess!" Susanoo answered. Mikado looked at this, he turns away. "Huh." He muttered. Kaguya was all eyes on Susanoo, "Magnificent..." She whispered. "Huh?" Susanoo asked, confused. Kaguya realized what she was doing, "Oh, um. The lanterns! I admire the lanterns, their quite splendid." She said quickly. Susanoo looked at the lanterns with a grin, "Thanks, this was all Momotaro and Tomoe's idea. They had a good choice in decoration." He said. "They have." agreed Mikado. They went to the elevator to the gang room. Kaguya looked shameful, "I apologize, it was wrong of me to come since now I know your..." She said. Susanoo put a hand on her shoulder, "No way, Miss Priest! You are accepted gladly from where we are. It's just..." He glanced over at Mikado, who had his back turned and whispered, "...Some people are on the defensive." Kaguya stifled a laugh, Mikado was irked. "Tch!" was all he could say. In time short, Kaguya got to meet the others: Tomoe, Kintoki, and Momotaro. But when she saw Calypso, she was in disbelief stunned.
"You, you are Calypso! The singer!" Kaguya exclaimed. Everyone else looked shocked, "The what?" asked Kintoki. "Yes, she was a singer. A singer songwriter, if I recalled." Kaguya said. The others looked over at Calypso, "So, you are a singer." said Susanoo. That wasn't a question. Calypso looked away, blushing. "Yes." She answered. "How?" Now this was a long time but Calypso decided to tell her story: "Um, I adore music. Music is great to listen to, I took voice lessons when I was a child and learned how to sing. I studied music and study singers I admired. I wrote music and always daydreaming about singing in front of thousands of people. Then, I auditioned at karaoke and someone saw me so they offered me to sing at this one place. And when I got there, I sang but I was criticized badly. So, that left me down however someone from that place contacted me and we made a deal, so I self managed with myself in singing." She looked as everyone seemed fascinated. "What inspired you to become a singer? What did you listen to?" asked Tomoe, interested in to know about her. Calypso's face was rosy pink to red but she managed to talk, "As a kid, I listened to artists like Bebe Rosado--The pop star, Astrithr, Abigail Dawn...There was Vanishing, man! Rochelle McQueen sings like a siren by the sea...." She knew it would take all day. "Um, would you like to hear one of my songs?" asked Calypso, changing the subject. Everyone nodded, "Yeah, sure." replied Tomoe. So, Calypso sang the first lines of "Mad Ballad of Ophelia". "How can you tell the difference between your true lover and some other? Your true one wears a pilgrim’s hat and a pilgrim’s sandals and staff. He is dead and gone, lady, he is dead and gone. At his head is a patch of green grass, and at his feet there is a tomb stone. Oh, ho! His death shroud was as white as snow, Covered with sweet flowers, which did not fall to the ground. In true-love showers." She stops and looks at the others, "So...What'cha think?" asked Calypso nervously. The others applauded, they were impressed by how talented Calypso is. Calypso was so thrilled that she took a bow, she felt like she can do anything. The next day, Mikado is walking to school. He walks past the students and came across Susanoo. "Hey." He said. Susanoo looked up in surprise, "'Hi' me?" He asked. "Uh, hello. How are you?" "Fine. Listen, I want to apologize for the first day and after. I guess I can be antisocial." Susanoo said. "Oh..thanks!" said Susanoo, surprised that Mikado was apologizing. So, the guys start talking about last night, about Calypso.
A CD with two music videos were out today: They were the latest ones already. The first new music video sets in Sydney, Australia where Calypso is at her apartment with a kangaroo. She is seen fishing, scuba diving, and shopping. It is hinted that she is in a witness protection program where she is being pursued by bad guys but she had enough so she sets up traps for them. The plan works; she ties them up and tortures them with girlie things. Calypso is faced with tougher guys at the beach but she fends them off and is honored as a hero. She is seen with a boy, her love interest as assumed, and they danced. There are several shots of Calypso singing live and of her crowd surfing. The second new music video starts off with Calypso waiting for her lover by the gate in London, England. There are flashbacks featured of how Calypso and her lover first met. Their rivalry, which involves with the two of them struggling to admit their feelings to one another. One day, they actually admitted their feelings to each other and shared a kiss. They go on a date in a boat. But her lover's father disapproves of this and forbids him to see her so they plan to eloped. In the present; Calypso is still waiting, thinking that her lover stood her up and was about to leave when she sees him walking towards her. She runs to him as they tenderly embrace each other. Some segments in the video show of Calypso singing in different places like the Big Ben clock tower and a bridge. The music video begins with Calypso packing her things and tearfully hugging her friends before she turns her back on them for her journey ahead of her. It changes to years later where Calypso returns and reunites with her friends. But she is surprised by how things have changed since she has been gone. Some of her friends have drifted apart from her but others still remained close. There are various scenes of Calypso and her friends going to places, going crazy in a silly way, laughing, and having a good time. In some scenes shows Calypso playing the guitar, singing in her room, and looking out her window.
While in the city with her friends; Calypso saw a big TV up on a building and look to see that it was the news channel as the reporter is talking to some children, who can talk all at once as if they are the same person. They are kind of creepy, their hair is platinum blonde hair and their eyes are grey that shimmer. Calypso stopped short, "Grimm...Wait, they look familiar...." She thought. Then, she remembered on the day her village was burnt, she was just a little girl; leaving her burning house and look out to see those grey eyes flashing at her. "Their eyes...Are they the children the same as the figure I saw before on that day...?" wondered Calypso, she begin to shudder with fear. "Calypso, are you OK?" asked Momotaro, with concern. Calypso looks at them and smiles, "Yes, come on let's go." She said. As they were walking; Calypso couldn't deny it: "I knew those eyes, I saw those eyes as I escaped from my burning house." She thought. That night; Calypso had nightmares about the children: She dreamt that she was walking down a hallway but she turned left and kept walking. She turned right and saw the children standing there with their grey eyes and platinum blonde hair align to one another. Calypso knew something unsettling was going to happen, she noticed the children were holding hands. "Come play with us, Calypso..." They said together, like a hive mind fictional character. "Let's burn together..." They said, fire appeared as a horrified Calypso watched and backs away. She covered her eyes when she saw the kids burning until there was only their bones and clothes. When she woke up; Calypso was panting and covered in cold sweat from the nightmare. Calypso conducts herself in research of the Grimm Children: Their father is Mephisto Grimm, while the Grimm Children have names--Esben is the oldest, Rowland is the second oldest, Margaret is the middle child, Wynd is the younger, and Ellen is the youngest.
In the meantime; Mikado and Kaguya are talking to one another. "Listen, Kaguya. Can you fight? At all?" asked Mikado. Kaguya shook her head, "As a pacifist, violence is not the issue on how we settle things." She explained truthfully. "It doesn't have to be, you can still fight for peace." He assured. Kaguya looked surprised, "What? Why?" inquired Kaguya. Mikado looked at her, "So nobody will kidnapped you again and again." He said. Then, he sat next to her. "You know you should try to be a martial pacifist, we can't always save you." Mikado said. Kaguya looks up in surprise, "What is that?" She asked. "A martial pacifist will often try to solve his problems with words first, and fists a distant second, typically resorting to violence only as a last resort. When that happens, he will mop the floor with anyone dumb enough to challenge him. Unlike his arrogant counterpart, he will not kill you unless he has no other choice, as killing usually goes against everything that he stands for." explained Mikado. Kaguya giggled, "There's no such think as a person like that." She said. "Actually there is." Mikado said, he pulled out papers of his research that he did and pulled out one article. "There is the Norse mythology: Thor, the great Thor was one. And there was Freyr." replied Mikado. "But they are from mythology." protested Kaguya. "Ah, that's where your wrong." Mikado put in. More articles, he begin to read them as he mentioned their names: "Number one; The Shaolin Monks studied and developed their fighting style out of self-defense and swore an oath to only use these arts to protect. They took no pride in killing, and even less in needing to fight in the first place. Number two; The entire martial art of Aikido is based on this principle. and number three--Guillaume-Henri Dufour; He was General of the Swiss army during the brief civil war, which he won with less than 100 dead on both sides combined. Later, he was instrumental in founding the Red Cross and presided over the first Geneva Convention. He was also an important topographer, leading to Switzerland's highest peak being named after him."
Convinced; Kaguya asked Mikado to teach her how to fight well. To her amazement, Mikado was an excellent trainer who helped her how to fight. How to knock down other enemies, how to watch out for the backside and front. Kaguya was preparing for the dark days to come and one day, it came. Another storm came but this time, it took place in the daytime and it nearly blew the heroes away from their base. But Kaguya escapes however when she looked around, she found herself in a stranded area as she called out for help but there was no one there. No one, at all. She was so desperate nevertheless she had to stay calm and use her time to use the skills that she was taught by Mikado. Even Calypso helped her, for she survived in places when she abandoned by the villagers. Building a survival shelter is an absolute priority for Kaguya. She was faced in a survival situation in harsh or unpredictable weather. A good shelter must protect her from the elements and be comfortable enough for resting and sleeping. She knew that most people cannot survive unprotected from rough weather for more than a few hours. Lucky for her, Calypso did find a good shelter: It was dry, well drained and reasonably flat. It looked comfortable, distance to water and has a supply of firewood. It has building materials for your shelter and provides protection against strong winds. She remembered that Calypso had added a shelter tarp, an emergency blanket and an extra poncho to her gear. Perfect! It was complete. Now it was time to find water. But that wasn't going to be easy so she looked around and not a single trace of clean water was found. She remembered on how to make a water filter so she gathered water in a container she packed and she recalled on what Calypso told her: "To start with, you need a container. If you can find a large, empty can, use it. Punch 5-10 holes in the bottom of the can. A large plastic bottle is also fine. Cut the end of the bottle off evenly. If there is no container available, you have to use what material that nature can provide, or that you brought with you. If you find a birch tree, make a cone of birch bark. The cone will need to have a fairly small hole in the bottom. Tie the cone with rope to keep it from opening up. Now the first, you need to stop the sand to get out of the container. Find some filter material you can place at the bottom. For instance; inches of pebbles, a grass mesh, make sure it’s nonpoisonous grass, or cotton material."
Kaguya learned how to do it as the teachings echoed in her memory:"Add a layer of gravel. The main purpose of the gravel layer is to strengthen the filter material and prevent sand mixed with the water you get from the filter. Fill your bottle or cone with sand. Collect some water. Pour your collected water through the filter. Catch it in another container at the bottom. Look at the water that comes out of the filter. It should be clear. If not, you may have to pass the water through the filter more than once." Now she made her own water filter and puts water in there and she can drink it. It is essential to understand where to find survival food, even food is the least pressing wilderness survival need. With plenty of water and a comfortable resting place, most of humans can live many weeks without food. However, food is important for Kaguya's mental and emotional state, as well as a source of energy and to maintain a normal body temperature. In a survival situation, she has to take advantage of everything available to eat. Most wilderness areas are full of natural food, ranging from plants to insects. The food sources Kaguya can exploit are determined by the habitat she was in. Vary her diet to make sure you get the appropriate proportions of fat, protein, carbohydrates, minerals and vitamins. Meat and fish are good sources of protein and fat and provide virtually everything a long-term survivor would need. However, at the first stage of a survival situation, plants are the most appropriate diet as plants are easily accessible and contain the necessary carbohydrates. She ate bugs that were editable: worms, grasshoppers, crickets, and ants. Not her cup of tea but what else could she do?
Then, Kaguya recalled something she had learn, which is the figure-four trap. It's very effective, but it needs some practice to make. Kaguya knows that she is unlikely to get it right first time. Her intention should be to create a stable trap, but with a trigger that will cause the trap to collapse, even to the slightest touch. The deadfall trap works on the principle that when the bait is taken a weight falls on the prey. This live animal trap can be made to any size. But she knew that it wouldn't work for the first time but it was worth a shot. The deadfall trap had a trigger, a horizontal bait bar is balanced at appropriate angles to an upright with a locking bar, which supports a heavy weight pivoting around the tip of the upright, see the figure above. As a weight, use a heavy log or rock. Another variation of the trigger mechanism is shown to the right. It's very simple and no tools are required. Using two long sticks and one short stick; She made sure the contact point of the weight is close to the main support stick. Kaguya also need to find kindling with the tinder and fuel she had packed. She made a fire with ease and it started. Just as Mikado taught her. She tended to the fire but after a few hours; she had to create an SOS, which meant Save Our Souls, is the best known international distress signal. Everyone should be familiar with SOS. The SOS signal can be transmitted by any method, visual or audio. She remembered the code for SOS is 3 short, 3 long and 3 short signals. Pause. Repeat the signal. The SOS signal can, for instance, be constructed as a ground to air signal with rocks and logs, or whatever material she have available. At night she can use a flashlight or a strobe light to send an SOS to, for instance, an aircraft. During the day, she can use a signal mirror. If it is difficult to produce long and short signals, Kaguya should know that almost any signal repeated three times will serve as a distress signal.
Just then, Kaguya looked around and saw someone who made camp and was flashing an SOS. Curious; she went over to see who needed help. She was surprised to see Tomoe, who looked up and smiled at her friend. "Kaguya! You're alive!" said Tomoe with relief. "Yes." answered Kaguya. Tomoe walked over to her friend, "Thank God, you're OK." She replied. Before the two girls embraced; someone from behind seized and poised Tomoe with a knife. "Ah!" gasped Tomoe. "Hey!" Kaguya cried. "Let me go! Let me go!" wailed Tomoe. Kaguya had her spear with her, the one that she used to catch fish. "Take your hands off her!" She ordered. However someone came from behind and bound her wrists, "Get off me!" She exclaimed. However a tissue covered her mouth and she passed out. As she woke up; She was tied up to a chair and Kaguya couldn't escape at all. This was too much for her. No escape. While kidnapped; Kaguya begin to think rationally and she have to be cooperative in this sort of situation. Her adrenaline will be pumping, her heart will be pounding, and she will be terrified. She had to calm down. The sooner she can regain your composure the better off you will be immediately and in the long run. Right from the start, she should try to observe and remember as much as possible in order to help her plan an escape, predict abductor's next moves, or give information to the police to aid in a rescue or to help apprehend and convict the kidnapper. At the same time, she had to be positive. Most kidnapping victims survive--the odds are with her. That said, she should prepare herself for a long captivity. Some hostages have been held for years, but they kept a positive attitude, played their cards right, and were eventually freed. Take it one day at a time.
One of the captors looked over her, Kaguya looked back with no glare at her. It is generally psychologically harder for a person to kill, rape, or otherwise harm a captive if the captive remains "human" in the captor's eyes. She did not grovel, beg, or become hysterical. She tried even not to cry. She will not challenge her abductor, but show him that him are worthy of respect. The guy untied her, then he asked her: "So, who are you little missy?" She swallowed and said, "I, Kaguya Okina, am here to bring the world peace. I do not wish for violence, please let me in..." But she stops when one of the captors jump at her, "I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet." He recited, a verse from the Scriptures. Then; Kaguya could feel his hands on her bare skin, she felt cold anger and kicked him in between his legs. The guy groans in pain, loosen his grip, and Kaguya tried to run however the guy wraps himself around her and bangs her hard against a wall as he forcefully kissed her. In the kiss; Kaguya bite his lip hard. The man yelled, he was furious and grabbed Kaguya's neck, choking her. She was about to die without air in her throat, when that same burst of power, she had before with her monstrous master she was enslaved, came from her and the captor cry out in pain. He fell backwards, he was critically injured as he fell unconscious. Kaguya was shocked, she begin to weep sorrowfully. "Oh my God...." She gasped. "Oh...." She wept and wept until there was nothing left.
She thought of what Mikado said about martial pacifists: "A martial pacifist will often try to solve his problems with words first, and fists a distant second, typically resorting to violence only as a last resort. When that happens, he will mop the floor with anyone dumb enough to challenge him." She remembered what he also said to her, "You can do it, Kaguya. After all we've taught you, you are a warrior." "I don't think I'm a warrior." She replied nervously. "Sure you are, you just don't know it yet." confirmed Mikado. "How do you know that?" asked Kaguya. Mikado smirked, "I just do." He answered smugly. She remembered something from her past: When she was just a little girl; her mother used to tuck her into bed and she'd read her a story. It always was about a princess in distress, And how a guy would save her. Then end up with the glory of marrying her. Living happily ever after. Little Kaguya would lie in bed and think about the person that she want to be. Now, this day has come when she realized the fairy tale life wasn't for her. Kaguya knew what she had to do, She remembered her pacifist passage she had to follow: "With Jah as my witness, I swear on my name and my life, that I shall do no harm, that I shall place the saving of life and easing of suffering above self, above family, that my duty is not to my people, or to my nation, but to all of humanity." She realized that she cannot go by that anymore. She knew that Mikado, Susanoo, and Calypso were right: "I understand, I cannot cause violence. I cannot hurt a mortal. Forgive me but...My friends, they are right. I can't count anyone to save me. I....I need to get stronger. I have to rescue only me." She thought. "I'm going set me free."
Taking the sword on the ground; Kaguya fought back. Every enemy she encountered, she wasn't afraid to take a swing. She would not take pride in killing or harming but rather to save herself and remorse for what she has done to her foes. She doesn't want be like Cinderella, all she does is sit in a dark old dusty cellar--waiting for somebody to come and set her free. Nor like Snow White waiting for a handsome prince to come and save her with a magic kiss. She doesn't want to depend on no one else. As she fights; Kaguya never felt like this. She can do anything now: Kaguya can slay her own dragons. She can dream her own dreams. And that knight in shining armor? It's her! She found a building of jail cells as she heads over there. Calypso, Susanoo, Mikado, Tomoe, Kintoki, and Momotaro were waiting for them when they saw Kaguya coming to the rescue. They were happy to see her. Kaguya frees them with her sword as they escape. But the Grimm Children confronts them: "Kaguya, so you somehow become stronger. Not surprising....But you're path of peace will be demolished." They said, talking as one--Like a Legion. They fought against Kaguya, who is being allied with Calypso and the others. One of the children used their snake powers and bit Calypso in the arm. Calypso begin to cry out in pain. But to her surprise, it automatically heals and she grins triumphantly.
The Grimm Children laid down, defeated. They glared up at Calypso, Kaguya, and the gang. "Impossible! The poison should've killed you two girls!" said the children. Calypso rolled up her sleeves as she revealed that the poison was already healed. "Sorry, you may have got me but I have a secret weapon--My woulds healed faster than any bites would normally do." The Grimm Children were shocked, they looked away before chuckling insanely. They looked up; sneering at Calypso, "Y'know, I woul've gone away with it too...If it weren't for you meddling kids." They said. Calypso smirks back at them, "Hmph, like I never heard that before." She scoffed. She leaned over and said, "Now tell me...Your eyes, they look familiar. Are you the one that burned down my village?" "No, I did." A voice said. Calypso looked up to see a dark silhouetted man. But his face showed of a weasel or fox-like appearance. "Mephisto." Calypso said, giving him a glare. "Dad...dddy." said the Grimm Children, as if it was one person saying it. Kaguya and the others look shocked. "Daddy?" Susanoo and his friends cried in unison. "Mephisto is their father?" Kaguya thought. "So, you're Mephisto Grimm." Calypso said. "Yes, I am. Why that's the first time I address myself in front of my enemies." Mephisto remarked. "I'm going to ask you this, why did you kill my father?" Calypso said.
"Here's one reason why and I'll tell you....Didn't your father ever told you about the fact that he and I were once business partners?" Mephisto asked. This surprised Calypso, "No." She said. "He'd never told me things like that." She answered. "Hmm, he didn't want to worry you so much. Not since your mother died....Anyway, he and I invested with a guy known as Mr. Ector and he was supposed to have fair share of the money, but that selfless bastard wanted to have more because of the village." Mephisto said. "My father needed a lot more, our village was dying and we didn't had any other food." Calypso interjected. "Yes, I went to the village and confronted him but he refused, saying I cheated off my own pay which pissed me off. I was filled with rage ad burnt that son of a bitch to the ground!" Mephisto shrieked. "You killed my father all because you didn't get your own money?" demanded Calypso, "You really are a selfish jerk-off aren't you?!" "Oh, am I? I think you should....LOOK IN THE MIRROR!!!!" Mephisto cried, throwing Calypso to the ground. She gets up but saw Mephisto with his sword. "I'm going to finish you just like I did with your daddy." Mephisto exclaimed, raising his weapon as if he was ready to stab her. Calypso cringed away, but she noticed she was dying and looked to see Kaguya and the others were defending her. Calypso was touched by this, The Grimm Children couldn't believe it: "Impossible!" They shouted. "Nothing is impossible when you got friends like us!" exclaimed Susanoo. "We're not going to let you get away with this, Calypso is our friend and she stays with us." Mikado said. "Yes, Calypso is our friend, she is the reason to help us all. And I will bring everyone to the world of peace. I will not give up. Never!" Kaguya said.
Calypso gets up, "You shoot me down, I get up and I won't fall again. You may have burnt my village, you may have killed my father but you will not burned me alive!" She exclaims. With their powers combined; Calypso and her friends defeated Mephisto, who was bleeding from his shoulder. "Daddy!" cried the Children, rushing over to aid him. "Well done, Calypso. But don't think this is over, I will be back to destroy you." Mephisto said, there was a smoke that covered him and his children. By the time the fog cleared; the Grimms were already gone. "And I'll be ready." Calypso claimed. Calypso and the others went home, where Kaguya becomes a warrior and a new member. Calypso learned that her village was being re-build but still there are many troubles lurking there. Calypso is determined to see it once again and take down Mephisto.
