Rachel Steps into the Forge…. While In LA Marie Finally Meets The Hive

(Author's Note this is Part Six of multi Part Chapter)

Pre morning Dawn A massive gong woke Rachel and Jessica up … Ugh what is going on when they heard knocks on the door… Morning what is going on Rachel Asked… Sister Devil the grand master requests your presence at once… Ok as she closed the door and dressed herself in her Gi as Jessica dressed in a more decorated Kimono as she smiled as they walked hand in hand to meet the grand master as fellow members bowed or whispered in their presence....

Lady Jessica one of fellow Mage member spoke please come this way Grand Master wants you and Mistress Seiko to stand beside her as Rachel gets set for the forge… Baby See you soon… Love you, Rachel spoke back as two guards took her separate ways…

Seiko smiled Jessica there you are, morning Sensei as Tai Pei smiled you have another student, I see… I do… so another may challenge the forge when Jessica spoke back Grand Master I am nowhere near ready Sensei Seiko has been training me with staffs… making Tai Pei smile back when you feel ready my dear child you will know it just like your lover does now when the doors opened up as massive Japanese drums and gongs addressed their sister Red Devil’s coming….

Rachel continued to walk seeing her Sensei’s adoptive family standing on guard down the lengthy walk… coming to a base of steps… when the gongs and drums stopped…

My Fellow Mages our Sister Red Devil has earnt the right to enter our forge through sheer will and determination and great challenges she has matured and grown in short amount of time now Devil are you ready to enter the Forge…

Yes, Grand Master I am let me complete my teachings as a true Shadow Mage Warrior… Very well Maiden Come when six elegant dressed women came pulling out small sharp katanas slicing her Gi leaving Rachel Naked as two maidens held each arm and spoke hold still in their native tongues… while another began to wrap a wet and white satin silk fabric coating Rachel’s sensitive flesh making her nips harden at the touch as the cool water held the wraps together as it wrapped around her midriff and waist…

Now lift your leg dear as Rachel done on command feeling her lust grow being woman handled… now the other as she felt soaked silk translucent panties slid into place as they continued to wrap her tight…. Sister Devil this material is to help you combat the heat and elements within the forge when they began to wrap her hair in the same material making a hood… as the final piece a face plate affixed to her face and hooked behind her neck completing her garb….

Now Sister Devil enter when Rachel bowed and turned to see two metal doors being pulled open as she walked toward the searing heat and light as the Shadow Mages watched Rachel disappear as the doors closed… now we must wait till she is ready to come out while the breakfast bell rang out resuming the same old routine as Seiko and Jessica continued to train her own confidence and skill set…

Back in LA Jasmine and Marie continued to search high and low for the hive… when sirens blared… come on Marie spoke… where too Jasmine spoke back… if my hunches are right where ever sirens are the people we are looking for will have to be there right… Jasmine spoke who knows as Marie **** Jasmine behind her….

What is going on here as another person spoke police shoot out… has anyone seen The Hive… no not yet as the bullets rang out… when the portal opened up…. Ok Family let us have some fun… you got it Artie Bozza spoke back as Raz spoke knock out rounds engaged time to put bad guys to sleep … Diamondback spoke Thrazh you and me take Right sure thing sister… Gateway and Sheh spoke I guess we get left as Marie said they look like Snakes Jasmine… Jas where are you looking around seeing her friend gone from her side…

Jasmine ducked into the alleyway quickly stripping out of her clothes revealing her costume underneath and blasted off in full flame form just in time as one of the enemies brought out a mini gun as the barrel began to spin…

Protect the Fellow officers when the bullets began to rang out making the cops all flinch when one opened their eyes to see a massive wall of flame… Are you ok anyone hurt… no we are ok who are you … a friend move back don’t know how much longer I can keep this wall up… when Gateway spoke you again matchstick… hey I was in the neighborhood and thought this looked like fun… some sick idea of fun… Officers are you… Yes, we are fine some of us are injured but nothing fatal…. Good I can get you to safety as Gateway began porting the cops out of harms way as Diamondback began to disarm the heavily armed thugs… We didn’t need the assist… really Inferno spoke back last time I checked it was a free country…

When one of the goons pelted Inferno with a shotgun blast… How rude as the pellets seem to melt into her looking at the dumb ass as her fiery flesh exploded out towards the gun…. OW… OW TOO HOT GOD DAMN IT… now… now do you kiss your mother with those lips melting the concrete enough to lock his feet into the ground when Artira spoke hey that is my kind of move… really I never knew you patented it… Smart ass… only if you knew as the Gorgons and the fire woman continued to clean up the street of the war zone…

Marie this time took pictures with her cell getting good shots of the hive members when Artie spoke listen you said you need our help… Yes, the world needs your help… then we talk on our terms… where and when… where are you staying in town… The Grand Egyptian Hotel… Funny we know that place very well… who do we need to talk to… Private Jasmine Malone and Lieutenant Marie Burrows tell them Inferno passed you the message…

So that is your name I was wondering about that Artira spoke we will meet up soon Inferno nice to finally meet you in a more suitable setting likewise and if you need a hand I am here to help as much as I can in the amount of limited time… thank you our fair city needs more people like you… see you around as Inferno flew off as Jasmine came out of the alleyway an hour later…

Jasmine there you are where was you… when the bullets rang out everyone scattered… they were here… who… the hive they do come when sirens ring out… really as it warmed her heart on the inside… And Inferno showed up too… you don’t say Jasmine spoke back… man you keep miss seeing her in action… why do that when she is being posted online or in the media Jasmine tried to dismiss the whole interaction can we now return to the hotel…

Why Marie spoke I am tired Jasmine spoke back… you need to repick up your cardio Hun I think pushing papers has made you a little soft… Oh, funny Jasmine smiled as Marie continued to show her friend the high-resolution shots, she got…

Back in the forge the white clad form of Rachel Hawkes finally understood why she was dressed the way she was as the volcanic heat was intense even for her being immortal it was still a place dangerous for any man or woman to trek into when she found the steel ore….

Hmmm too light… Too Heavy I need the perfect weight ratio to be lightweight but yet unbreakable for not one but two swords I will take into battle against you Demonica and I swear upon my family and my new brother and sisters in the Shadow Mage your life will end by my hands as she dug through the rubble of Japanese Steel picking out her materials placing them into a smelting pot as she walked to the lever…

Amaunet give me the strength to do this as she pushed as the lava flowed through the channel as it over flowed back below to be harvested the next time as the pot heated red in seconds as Rachel began to sweat and perspire as she stirred the pot making sure all her ingredients began to evenly melt…

Outside in the temple Tai Pei spoke at Dinner Jessica can you follow me after words I have a gift I want to give to Red Devil and I need your input if she makes it out alive… Grand Master Devil you may call her Rachel to me will come out she knows no quit that is what drew me to her heart… Oh, I do see it my dear and I meant no ill towards her please come in…

Wow, this place… my inner sanctum a place where I stay when I sleep and need to gather my own thoughts as you know every warrior out there wear a uniform but each one is unique considering what their trials and test gave to them by their teachers….

Ok Jessica spoke back… I know all about the specialty of you two and the queen you serve… But how we told no one… relax my cousin filled me in and there is no judgement here and I must say your queen allowing you two to train here must love you both to allow you to leave and form new family bonds for once you came in as strangers from the outside world I come to see you a niece…

Thank you, Grand…. Please Address me as Tai… thank you, Tai… now come and see the present I intend to present to Rachel after her forging is complete as Tai Pei opened the curio case to reveal a black and red heavy leather halter top, arm and leg bracers to match along with headband with Shadow Mage’s insignia and face mask…

This is amazing Jessica spoke back… every warrior who goes into the forge comes out changed for the better as she fights for peace, she will be our representative in the outside world and this is a token of being a grateful student and loyal member to the Mage… She will honor this Tai she really will... good now please if you will leave me to my thoughts I will see you the next day…

Good night Tai Jessica spoke back see you soon as Jessica returned to her chambers missing her lover as she looked at the empty bed but smiled as Rachel was in her heart…

While inside the forge Rachel began to place the hot molten steel into the mold’s she chose for her set that also match her Sensei’s own formed swords…

Sekhmet dunked it into cooling waters as the steam filled the forge as she repeated the process over and over while she then took the hammer and began hammering all throughout the night mixing the process as one sword began to take shape as she knew this was just day one of three…

Back in LA Jasmine came out of the shower as Marie said feel better… I do, drying her hair… I wish I could have spoken to them dear… I know Jasmine spoke reassuring her friend as Marie said I was close the Hive they are not lizards like most people on the news thinks… Really when Jasmine and Marie heard a Poofing sound out on their Balcony… hey did you hear that… heard what sounded like someone popped a small explosion device as Marie walked outside…

Maybe it was my Imagination…. Excuse me are you, Marie Burrows…. As Marie turned around to see Gateway and Artira perched on the massive concrete railing…. Yes, I… I am… Lieutenant Marie Burrow of the U.S. Military at your service… Inferno sent usssss said you needed to talkssss with usssss… yes have you heard what happened in Australia…

We saw the new queen we don’t know but her daughter we had run out of LA jusssst recently… this is my friend and fellow US solider Jasmine Malone… Hello Ms. Malone as she purposely played the dumb secretary look… Like I said this new queen we never faced before but her daughter Nephthys we just took out… not long enough it seems Marie spoke back…

Look we didn’t know she found an heir, and we didn’t know her plans… wait you mean…. Yessss we killed the bitch dead to rightsssss, but she found an heir apparent and must have corrupted her to reborn her into a new body on the blood moon… so the woman we saw on tv was… the mother of Nephthys… and the spider chick that took out their Madam President… She is very new we never encountered her before Artira spoke back…

How did you come to be… not going to answer that Lieutenant Burrows in time maybe but for now let us see what we can do to support one another… Humans who get corrupted can they…? No once corrupted there is no turning back unless you were blessed by magical means or genetically altered then possibility yes you could but going in do not let them trade any of their saliva or sexual juices with you or you are done for… thank you for that knowledge Ms. just Artira… ok Artira if we join forces could you help us drive them back…

Depends are we going to be free to live our lives… what do you mean… we know a lot about the government dear we are no use to people being caged up and experimented on our government has not expressed anything like that to our knowledge… Ok we will trust you for now but crossss ussss then you will be ssssso ssssorry … you got my word as Marie watched both snake women jump over the edge as she tried to see where they went as Gateway ported them home in seconds… Damnit…

Hey Marie at least we have some help right that is a start as Jasmine smiled as Marie hugged her… I knew it they are snakes… deep down I knew something I seen before pointed out they were not lizard type heroes now we know and the world has a chance… I know my friend as Jasmine helped her friend to bed as she too went to her room and fell fast asleep for once not remembering her tragic beginnings as the lights and sounds of LA lit up the night sky in Peace…
