Spirit within II: El Hazard- The second night: The world of beautiful girls.

	Ryo stood and looked out the window over the city of Floristica. He frowned
as the memory of the events of the previous night flooded back to him. "It
seems the Phantom tribe has targeted me directly. No suprises, but I wasn't
expecting them to be quite so bold." he thought as he began to dress in the
princesses robes. It annoyed him to no end that he had to remain a girl until
he left the palace, the risk of discovery was too great. "Damn Roshtarian
protocol." he muttered as some of the servants entered the room quietly and
began to finish dressing him.
	Makoto Mizuhara was awoken by Lanz early. "Come it is time to prepare for
your journey. We must hasten." he said as he shook Makoto awake violently.
	"Aw geez lay off will ya? Do you know what time it is?" grumbled Makoto as he
slurred awake.
	"Yes, the sun rises in only an hour and you must leave soon." said Lanz. 
	Fujisawa was of course awake long before. "C'mon boy the mountains await!" he
cried happily. "Oh I hope its impressive, I'll be so disappointed if it isn't
a good climb." said the man joyously with tears in his eyes.
	"Great now I'll never get out of this." said Makoto as he hung his head and
resigned himself to his fate.

	Ryo walked down the hall towards the room where Alielle was being kept.
"Princess we must..." said one of the girls following him.
	"I wish to see how she is doing before I leave." said Ryo truthfully. "It
will ease my mind."
	The maidens walked behind her silently and said nothing as she opened the
door. Only to get knocked to the ground. "Oh, Fatora my love you saved me!"
cried Alielle as she rubbed her head against Ryo's breast.
	"Stop that you disgusting imp!" cried Ryo bitterly.
	"Ah it is agreeable to see you." said Stalumbau as he walked from the room.
"I was just finishing up her final check up."
	"When you said she'd recover quickly I didn't think you'd mean this fast."
said Ryo as she pulled Alielle off her waist.
	"Her wounds were relatively minor. She was intended to bleed to death I
think. It was not difficult to repair, however, she will have scars for some
time, possibly for the rest of her life." said the Doctor as he walked away.
	"Great... Hey! keep you hands off that you little Hentai!" screamed Ryo.
	"But Fatora my love..." Cried Alielle.
	"Leave us for a moment." said Ryo to the women next to her.
	"Absolutely shameful." said one of the girls as they walked away. Alielle
just squealed in pleasure as Ryo closed the door. He turned and saw Alielle
standing nude.
	"Augh! Put some clothes on!" she cried in suprise.
	"But Fatora..." said the girl looking at her seductively.
	"I am not Fatora, put your clothes on and I'll explain things." growled Ryo.
	"What?" said Alielle dumbly.
	"I said I am not Fatora. I'm not even a girl put your clothes on." said Ryo
as he tried to calm himself.
	"Oh, Fatora did you hit your head?" said Alielle as she leaped up and hugged
Ryo to the ground. Ryo froze and felt a trickle from her nose as the girl
rubbed her chest against the back of her head. "I'll help you remember."
	Just then Makoto and Fujisawa entered. "Hey Ryo, you gonna hang out all day
or come with? I didn't get up early so you could make us la..." started
Makoto. Then Fujisawa entered behind him and both of them froze.
	"Alielle screamed and dashed for the sheets covering her bed. 
	"Great, I'll never hear the end of this one. Thanks allot." said Ryo to her
as she looked at them in embarrassment.
	"Ka go me! What the hell do you think your doing huh?!" yelled Fujisawa at
him angrily. "You've disgraced the honored name of Shinanome High throughout
the galaxy!" cried Fujisawa in anger.
	"I don't go to Shinanome High, besides I'm older than you Fujisawa kun. I can
do what I want." said Ryo standing up finally. "And I didn't by the way." he
added as the turned to see Alielle looking at them in shock and confusion. 
	"Wh-who are you?" she managed.
	"I am Kagome Ryo, and these are my comrades Mizuhara Makoto and Fujisawa
Masumiji." he then turned to the pair standing in the door dumbly. "This is
Alielle, Fatora's lover." he said calmly.

	A few moments later the four of them sit around a table for breakfast...

	"Wait back up. Her lover?" said Fujisawa.
	"But I just had to go away to visit my parents, and when I returned Fatora
was gone." said Alielle.
	"Yes, taken hostage by the Phantom tribe." said Makoto angrily.
	"This stories all backwards." said Fujisawa as he ruffled his hair in
frustration.
	"It's your hangover." said Ryo and Makoto in unison.
	"It is not!" retorted the teacher. "Its just all this doubled up princess
stuff, get back to the basics will ya?"
	"But I couldn't. I love her so much I could never do that. Oh I should never
ever ever have left her." said Alielle sadly.
	"Please! You have to help me find her! I know in my heart something just
awful has happened to her." said Alielle.
	"Relax, I've been working on it." said Makoto.
	"And the Phantom tribe is bound to show up. They will try to remove me so the
bugrom will attack." said Ryo. "As long as I am here they won't because the
bugrom will not believe the Tribe while I am here."
	"Oh, thank you so much!" cried Alielle as she jumped for Ryo only to be met
by his hand. 
	"I have allot of experience dealing with perverts." said Ryo to Fujisawa's
questioning gaze.
	"I guess so." muttered Makoto a little bitterly.
	"I'm sorry I was just so excited I guess I forgot your not Fatora." said the
girl sheepishly.
	"Right, look here missy, I've dealt with far worse than you, you got nothin
on Happosai so don't try grabbin me again got it? Geez what are you fourteen?
You little delinquent." sneered Ryo.
	"You know that you have drug Shinanome high straight through the mud." said
Fujisawa.
	"How many times do I have to tell you that I didn't go there in the first
place?!" said Ryo angrily.

	"You see before you the expanse of our land, in the far distant range of
mountains lies the holy peak of Mt. Muldoon.  Upon that summit live the three
priestesses who worship the ancient gods. No outsider is allowed or dares
enter so perilous a realm." said Rune Venus to the group as she looked out
over the El-Hazard from a balcony.
	"Whoa." said the three men in awe as they looked at the mountains.
	"Hey Lanz, what sort of challenge do you think those slopes can offer?" asked
Fujisawa.
	"What?" asked Lanz in suprise.
	"Scale. Just how steep is it?" asked the man.
	"Extremely, the few survivors who have returned can hardly speak of their
journey." said Lanz.
	"Right on!" cried Fujisawa triumphantly in front of a bewildered Lanz.
	"He does this sort of thing for fun in our world." said Ryo with a smile as
he watched Lanz's stare.
	"Unbelievable." said Lanz.
	"The legend furthers in its tale that the eye of god was then tightly sealed
by the ancient peoples of our land to be guarded forever by three wise sages
who would reside on Mt. Muldoon." said Stalumbau as he looked off at the
mountains.
	"And Ryo is the chosen one who is supposed to unseal this thing." said
Makoto.
	Ryo just stood and looked at the mountains with an unreadable gaze. 
	"Correct, only a princess who is in dual command of the Royal house may
request such action." said Stalumbau.
	"Princess Rune must not leave Roshtaria under these circumstances, we have no
other choice for help than our guest Makoto." said Lanz.
	"Don't worry, its just a little stroll in the hills thats all." said
Fujisawa.
	"Sir you face certain death." said Lanz.
	"I wouldn't have it any other way. It won't be fun otherwise." said Ryo.
Makoto nodded in agreement with a hard gaze on the mountains.

	Ryo growled and stood as the women dressed her again. Alielle strolled around
her and looked on appraisingly.
	"I'm bringing my own clothes." she said defiantly.
	"Stop complaining, I'll be right next to you the whole time." Said Alielle as
she tried for his waist again only to be pushed off by Ryo's leg.
	"Cut that out you little pervert." she grumbled. "Besides I can't climb like
this." she said angrily.
	"But you look so pretty." said Rune.
	"Just relax, you'll feel better after we get there." said Fujisawa
reassuringly as he gathered some rope. Makoto was doing the same nearby and
snickered as Ryo gave in.
	"Fatora." said a small voice.
	Ryo froze.
	A small animal came out from under the curtains and batted at Fujisawa's
rope.
	"Hey, Fatora." it said.
	"Hey what a weird looking cat." said Makoto as he looked at it.
	"Ura, Oh my I forgot to introduce you. Go on." said Rune with a small laugh.
	The cat walked up to Ryo who just stood there. "You will be protected." said
Rune to Ryo with a comforting smile.
	Something registered in Makoto's mind. "Uh oh." he thought.
	"Ura." commanded Rune and the cat jumped at Ryo.
	"No don't you don't know what your doing!" cried Makoto as he jumped for the
animal.
	"What?" said Rune in suprise.
	Ryo started to scream and fell to her knees as the animal wrapped itself
around her like a vest. She started Hyperventilating and a look of sheer
terror came across her face.
	"Ah he looks even more like her royal highness with the cat around him." said
Lanz looking pleased.
	"Yes." agreed Rune.
	"Ah, he sure does, even I'm getting turned on again!" squealed Alielle.
	"You have to get it off her now! You don't understand what will happen!"
yelled Makoto. 
	Then Ryo yowled.

	Meanwhile a meeting is being held...
	
	"Something is wrong. The country of Ginan has fallen to the bugrom advance
far to easily." said one man.
	"I agree. They should never have suffered such a serious breach to their
defenses." said the other.
	"It is a great comfort that the princess is unsealing the Eye of god." Said
yet another. They stood and walked out of the room. "I only hope she can use
it." said one man as he walked out.

	In Ginan Jinnai was carried on the shoulders of the advancing bugrom forces.
He laughed hysterically as flags bearing his name were waved behind him.

	A few hours later...
	
	Makoto and a now male Ryo stood on the deck of an air ship and looked at Ryo
bitterly Ura was wrapped around his chest and he was covered in small
scratches. Alielle and Fujisawa just looked dazed and were both also covered
in scars. "I made a fine pick ax." said Fujisawa after a moment as he pulled
out a broken piece of decorative piping that looked like it would serve quite
well for his needs.
	"It would seem now our final hope lies with princess Fatora." said one of the
onlookers, he was one of the men from the meeting. Another stood next to him
and nodded in agreement.
	A scratched up looking Lanz and an unharmed Rune Venus watched silently. "Are
you sure you are well your highness?" asked Lanz.
	"A bit shaken but fine. I don't think she would have hurt me." said Venus
calmly. 
	"Still it is fortunate that Makoto had managed to get the hot water in time.
Such a fearsome weapon as that should never be unleashed." said Lanz calmly as
the ships sailed away.
	Rune looked at him blankly. "Is the one we are about to unseal any better?"
she asked.
	Lanz sighed. "We have no choice, the bugrom are far to dangerous as of late."
he replied.
