Chapter 1: The Storm

"Edge!" shouted a girl from the control panels. "Edge I can't see anything!"

Outside everything was black, small flashes of blue and purple lights came from all directions and every once in a while one would be felt hitting the side of the Calnus.

"Faize! What can you see on the radar?" Edge shouted from the post in the center of the brig. He was holding onto the sides of his station trying to keep his balance from the lightning that continued to hit the ship and jostle him around violently.

"Nothing is coming up on the radar, and all the other equipment is malfunctioning!" Faize shouted back to him, as he frantically tried to find a reading on their whereabouts. From the back two small girls could be heard crying with disapproval, one with blue cat ears holding onto anything she can grab and the other spewing incoherent words, an incantation to force the movement to stop. When suddenly the Calnus was hit with a violent strike; the whole cabin was shaken and caused everyone to be knocked off their feet. In the back the small girl was thrown to the other side of the brig, she was saved only by the metallic hand of her big friend. While in the front Faize picked himself off of the floor and tried to regain his balance, this became hard to do as the ship was hit with another violent strike. "Edge, the ship can't take another hit!" Faize shouted, and as if in an answer the ships warning alarm started to sound, and from above steam started to pour from a broken pipe.

Edge reached up and grabbed the side of the consol, pulling himself up again. "Reimi, get us out of this!" only the sound of the piercing alarm was heard. "Reimi?" still with no answer Edge looked towards her station and saw her lying awkwardly over her chair. "Reimi!" he ran to her aid but without prevail for he was thrown onto the floor. Another strike hit the Calnus and she started to spin out of control. Then suddenly as if it was never there the storm vanished, and the Calnus fell to its destruction.

"Edge?" Faize called. He looked over and saw that Edge had been knocked unconscious, and with no captain and no flight control Faize decided to take matters into his own hands. "Bacchus," he yelled behind him as he tried to push Reimi out of the way. "Bacchus is there anything you can do?"

"I have been trying, but all of the systems are down and I can only repair them from outside of the ship. I'm sorry Sir Faize but there is nothing I can do." Bacchus tried to get up but he was afraid of losing the small girl lying in his hand. He brought up the schematics of the ship and everywhere was flashing red areas, warning them of system failures.

"Great! Ok, if you can, hold on! This is going to be rough!" Faize grabbed onto the flight controls and tried to pull the ship out of her downward spiral. Nearly missing a huge mountain he managed to pull her into a less chaotic spin. He reached for the backwards thrusts but found that they weren't working, upon trying to find anything that will slow them down he only found that all the backups had malfunctioned or been destroyed. With no way of slowing them down he watched in horror as the ground came inevitably closer. The alarm sounded frantically and every inch of the Calnus creaked in protest to the velocity of its downfall. As Faize watched the ship fall into an open valley he saw a small figure standing in its center. When what seemed like inches from collision a sudden blinding flash of white light surrounded the cabin, time ceased to move and sound was whipped from existence.

Chapter 2: Awake

In the distance Faize could hear muffled sounds, slowly he identified a soft humming noise and after what seemed like forever the ringing in his ears subsided. He opens his eyes and everything was fuzzy, trying to gather his surroundings he heard movement behind him. As he tried to muster up the strength to move pain shot through his body and he screamed from the shock. The movement behind him stopped and the room went quite, it was at this point that he noticed the ships alarm had been silenced.

Suddenly he felt a presence near him, trying to open his eyes and look through the cloudy veil Faize saw the outline of a person. They leaned down and softly touched his abdomen and again the pain shot through his body. His breathing became labored and he felt the unknown being lay its head on his chest. Opening his eyes to now see with more clarity the person that sat next to him, he saw a woman. Her hair was the color of the setting sun and flowed like rippling water in a stream. As she lifted her head from his chest he noticed her complexion was flawless and glowed like the rising sun and her eyes where a deep shade of purple with flecks of gold. Yet suddenly he remembered his friends, he painfully tried looking around for them but they were no longer in the last place he saw them. His nerves were on the fritz, all he wanted to do was get up and find his friends, but with no strength he didn't see how this was possible.

Frustrated he tried to speak, "My friends…where..." was all he managed to say before the woman cut him off.

"Shh, don't speak," Her voice was gentle, soothing, and it calmed him," your friends are safe, we have taken them to the infirmary. They will be up and around before you know it." She smiled and Faize was shocked to see that her beauty was still able to enhance with such a simple gesture. "You on the other hand, your body in badly broken and I must tend to it before any further damage is obtained."

"But…who…"

"No need for that now little one, sleep. Sleep and drift away from your pain." Her words surrounded him and covered him like a blanket, calming him absolutely and with ease he drifted into a peaceful slumber.

As what seemed like seconds past, Faize reluctantly awakened from his painless sleep. As before the first thing that he noticed were sounds, sounds of moving objects, of distant voices in the background, yet the only thing different this time was the absence of the ringing that clouded his mind once before. Faize opened his eyes and stared up at triangular light fixtures surrounded by blue and red tiles that adorned the Celine. As he slowly looked at his surroundings he noticed other unique artifacts that told him he was in the infirmary. Although his memory was shot, he couldn't quite pinpoint as to how he got there or where he was before. Instinctually he sat up to figure out the situation he found himself in, almost instantly pain pulsated through his body and sent screaming responses to the brain the cease this movement at once. Without warning he was hit by a wall with such force it knocked the wind out of him, he became dizzy and faint. His body lurched, turned and with no control he vomited.

After the second time his stomach purged its self Faize felt a cool dampness on the skin of his neck. Water slowly traveled down his chin, to his face picking up sweat and grime alone the way. As this new substance entered his mouth it mixed with the warm acidic liquid and caused his stomach to react, sending him into another convulsing fit. His body drained, his insides finally settled, and the pain becoming too much he lost all strength and collapsed, only to be caught by the arms of Edge. As Edge laid him down again he closed his eyes and let his body go and drift back into a distant sleep.
