My Dearest
By: Youri Kai Kamachii
Konnichi-wa! I hope you guys liked my last chapter though it was different. I'm SO sorry for the BIG delay, but I have school. I have also updated some of my other chapters, so you should check that out...YAY, I'm getting more comments and being favored because of this fanfic! Now chapter 8 is finally here, so ENJOY!
Disclaimer: I don't own Soul Calibur, yet…Just one more game to go! COME ON NAMCO!
Chapter 8:
"Help?" said Hwang "who said we were going to help you?"
"I did!" said Mina as she punches the top of his head, "You better help YunSung and his friends on this mission too."
"And if I don't?"
"You're forgetting my dad, right? If you go back on your own…he'll think it's your fault for losing me!"
"Fine, I'll help Mina; only because you said so. You're such a child…"
"I have to get my way somehow…At least I'm not-"
"Hey, you two" said YunSung, "they're walking off without us"
"Oh...yeah…" said both, Mina and Hwang.
"Raphael!" yelled YunSung, "Can you slow down so we can catch up with you?"
"NO!" yelled Raphael, "We need to hurry, before anything happens to Cassandra. It would be my fault if something ever did happen to her…Which I cannot allow!"
Talim, YunSung, Seong Mina, and Hwang began to catch up with Raphael, but Amy started to pass out.
"Amy!" yelled Raphael.
"It's OK" said Kilik, "she's just worn out from walking…I'll carry her for you and catch up with you guys" 'Seems that Cassandra isn't the only one he loves dearly!'
As our other five protagonists walked on, Cassandra still awaits for Raphael and the others to rescue her from Nightmare.
'Raphael, please come soon! I promise that I'll treat you better when I'm reunited with you!'
"Cervantes" said Nightmare, "hand me that Soul Edge shard"
Cervantes hands Nightmare the Soul Edge shard.
"Tira, you stay right here; we don't want anything to happen to you."
"Yes master" said Tira, while she glowed in an evil aura.
"Cervantes, you go outside, and keep the other's company!" said Nightmare, while releasing Cassandra from her prison and giving her sword and shield back.
"Wait, why are you giving my weapons back and why did you release me?"
"Now Cassandra, you're going to do as I say weather you want to or not!"
"No! I will never follow your orders! Why would I help you?"
"If you don't do as I say, I'll personally kill Raphael and your dear friends when they arrive"
"Why you...Wait, what are you going to do with that Soul Edge shard? NOOOOOOO..."
Our five protagonists arrived near the front entrance of the Ostrheinsburg Castle while Kilik and Amy caught up with them. All of a sudden, they heard someone scream in pain.
"That scream…" said Raphael, "That sounds like Cassandra. Come on, let's go!"
Raphael and the others ran towards the door, but they were stopped by Cervantes's voice.
"If you want to rescue the girl, you'll have to go through me first!" said Cervantes while pulling out his swords.
"I can take this pirate!" said Hwang in determination, "Come on, and let's see what you've got."
YunSung was about to stop Hwang, but Mina held him back.
"I think he has this battle; let him handle this!"
Hwang pulled out his Blue Thunder sword and tried to strike Cervantes, but Cervantes blocked his attack. Cervantes, then, tried to strike Hwang, but Hwang jump over him and struck him vertically in the back. It all happened so fast.
"Man, he is good!" said Kilik while holding Amy.
"Yeah! Way to go Hwang!" said Seong Mina. "Hey, watch out…"
Mina ran over to Cervantes, getting ready to attack him. Cervantes got out his gun and was about to pull the trigger. Raphael came out of nowhere and stabbed Cervantes in the heart with his Rapier. Cervantes was about to fall to the ground, when he finally pulled the trigger, and shot Hwang, but on his leg.
"HWANG!" said Mina while she grabbed Hwang before he fell into Cervantes's pool of blood.
"I'm OK Mina" replied Hwang, "Can you help me walk?"
"Oh Hwang!" said Mina while tears started to form and she hugged him, "I've should have never dragged you into this…"
"As long as you're safe Mina"
"Thanks Raphael…" said Mina, but discovered that Raphael walked into the castle. "Hey, wait on us!"
Raphael and the others, who soon caught up to him, were in the castle.
"Hmm…" said YunSung, "Now where do ya' think they would put Cassandra?"
"YUNSUNG!" yelled everyone except Raphael and the unconscious Amy.
"I'm just trying to lightin' up the mood, GEEZ!"
"This is no time to be joking around Yunie" said Talim.
All of a sudden, they hear a familiar voice from the shadows.
"Yeah" said the figure stepping out of the shadows, "it's no time to be joking around"
"Cassandra!" said Raphael, "How did you escape?" he asked while walking up to her.
'Kill them, kill them ALL' said an evil voice in Cassandra's thoughts.
Cassandra's eye's glowed of red, while she took out her sword and shield.
A/N: Oh no, is Cassandra working for Nightmare? What will happen to the others now that Cassandra has turned against them? Oh yeah, I was originally going to have Hwang die in this chapter, but since he's one of my favorite male characters, I have decided not to. Besides, my Mina/Hwang fans would be mad. YunSung is so immature (Random Comment XD). My other 'Author's Note' is: what's up with Tira; be surprised to what happens!
