Chapter 1: Kidnapped A/N: I decided to sit down and write another GS fanfic, mainly because I haven't done one for awhile. We'll see where this goes.
It was early summer and the flowers were in full bloom. Down in the meadows, wild flowers painted the landscape in a wondrous pattern of colors. Beautiful, green woods covered the lower slopes of the foothills.
It was in these woods that a small Jupiter djinn was exploring. She hopped around on the ground, inspecting the various trees and admiring the occasional flower. She was filled with curiosity about nature, and she eagerly took every chance she could to simply explore it.
After all, there was so much to explore. Right now, she was in a small clearing in the middle of the woods that covered the foothills of Gaia Rock. Gaia Rock itself seemed a large mountain to her, but it was dwarfed by the island on which it rested. And the island of Izumo was quite small compared to the small continents of Hesperia, Atteka and Indra. These were all smaller than Osenia, and Osenia itself was dwarfed by the great continents of Angara and Gondowan.
Why, it would take her years just to thoroughly explore this island. Who knew how long it would take her to explore the rest of Weyard?
The thought of all of those lands that still needed to be explored filled this little Djinn with great energy. She quickly busied herself investigating a flowering apple tree.
"Breath, come on back! It's time for dinner"
The djinn pricked up her ears at the sound of her mistress' voice echoing across the fields. She quickly jumped off the tree and spread her wings.
As she soared over the woods and fields, she couldn't help but be filled with awe for this wondrous world that she lived in. It was just so vast, and yet so detailed. The world of Weyard stretched for many miles in every direction, but every inch of it still seemed like it had been hand-crafted by some great and marvelous artist.
Her thoughts were interrupted as she caught sight of her mistress waving to her from the ground below. She dived down and landed on her mistress' shoulder, happy to be back and ready to eat.
"Breath is back, so we can eat now"
Sheba walked over to where Ivan was preparing to serve dinner. Dinner consisted of a cut of venison turning on a spit over a campfire, fresh fruit from the trees in the woods, and berries that she and Ivan had collected earlier that day. A stream ran nearby, providing them with cool water to drink.
She and Ivan were vacationing on the island of Izumo. They had both decided that a nice, long vacation would be a good way to spend part of the summer. Hammet had offered to house them for a few weeks or even rent them a house in Tolbi, but Ivan had suggested that they could simply go camping for a few weeks. Sheba had readily agreed to the idea. Honestly, she was quite tired of the city. The great outdoors was so much more peaceful.
They bought their supplies and immediately set out north. Several days later, they arrived at Vale. Ivan dropped in on Isaac and Jenna for a brief visit and returned with the Teleport Lapis. They warped to several different islands before deciding on Izumo. It was just so much more remote than the Apojii islands.
It was three days since they had arrived on Izumo and Sheba was enjoying herself immensely. The opportunities that this vacation offered her were endless. She had purchased a bow from the town of Izumo and was learning to hunt with it. She was able to go berry-picking every day. She could go swimming whenever she wanted. And most of all, she was finally able to spend some time with Ivan.
They stayed up late every night and talked for hours. They spent the days walking through meadows and forests. Sometimes they would even find a cave to explore. Whatever the days activities were, the nights always involved long talks and simply enjoying each other's company.
One beautiful afternoon, Ivan and Sheba were climbing some small cliffs on the edge of Izumo's mountain range. Ivan had just reached the top of one and was reaching down to help Sheba up when he heard footsteps behind him. He quickly pulled Sheba up over the edge and turned around to investigate this noise.
As he turned, he felt a sudden impact on his ribcage. He flew back into a wall of rock and crumpled to the ground, coughing and trying to catch his breath.
"Ivan, help!" He looked up to find Sheba in the grasp of two tall figures. One was a tall, muscular man. The other was a slender woman. Both were wearing black cloaks and had jet-black hair with gray streaks.
Ivan climbed to his feet and drew his sword. "Let her go or I'll kill you both. Let her go"
When neither of them showed any sign of dropping Sheba, Ivan rushed at the man and raised his sword.
When he was about five feet away, the man raised his hand. There was a brief distortion around it, then Ivan felt the same force slam into his chest and throw him back. His sword went spinning off and landed about thirty feet away.
He stood up again and glared at the man. The man handed Sheba to his partner and stepped forward to face Ivan.
"Leave now, kid, and you won't get hurt"
Ivan kept his eyes locked on the man. "What do you want with her? If you need a hostage, take me and let her go"
"Kid, we need her and we're taking her. Now either leave or suffer the consequences. You've already lost your sword"
Instead of responding, Ivan simply raised his hand and began to focus. Sparks raced around his hand as he built up energy. Then, without warning, he released it.
Huge lightning bolts struck all around them. One of them hit the stranger full on the chest, dropping him to his knees.
"Sorry, kid. Not even an adept can stop me," he said as he stood to his feet.
"And I said LEAVE!" The same swirling distortion surrounded his hand. Ivan tried to jump aside but it was too late. He was struck in the chest again and sent flying back into the rock. He slumped to the ground and didn't move.
"And stay down! Come on, we have to get back." The stranger joined his partner and they began to walk off further into the mountains, holding Sheba's arms and dragging her along.
"What do you want with me? Where are you taking me"
The man scowled at her. "Quiet, girl. We're not going to hurt you. Just come along quietly"
Sheba closed her eyes and focused. A slight breeze ruffled her hair as she focused her psynergetic powers. Without warning, Sheba threw herself backwards. At the same time, two huge whirlwinds appeared and blew the strangers forward.
Sheba caught her balance and looked at her enemies. As they began to climb to their feet, Sheba unleashed her djinn. Nine blurred figures shot out at the strangers, each striking them with a different unique power.
Sheba raised her hands in the air, quickly trying to summon Thor. As the strangers turned around, the man saw what was about to happen. "No"
He slammed his fists together and a shockwave flew out. Sheba opened her eyes to find all nine of her djinn lying on the ground. The man rushed at her and picked her up by the neck.
"Fine. If you won't come quietly, I guess you'll come unconsciously." He tightened his grip on the sides of her neck. Sheba felt his fingers clamp down on the arteries in her neck. She suddenly felt faint. She tried once more to break free, only to black out and fall limp.
A/N: Well, what do you think? I decided that it was time to write another gs fic, and this is what I came up with. I finally have a little free time again, and I'm hoping to complete this one. Please please please review. Even if you only type up one sentence, it still lets me know that people are reading this. Thanks )
