Rebellious

Chapter Ten - Side tracked

Night had settled in rather quickly. Stars patterned the sky; whilst the crescent moon shone fluorescently. A midnight blue surrounded both stars and moon in its blanket. Peacefulness, along with silence, stayed within the atmosphere; which was between the two pilots. This type of atmosphere was what the pilot of the Energy Liger liked. Her back was connected with the ground as she stared up at the twinkling sky. A smile stayed upon her features as she enjoyed this moment.

The sound of crackling fire came between the two pilots; but not one had spoken to the other since the encounter. Mai was curled right beside her master; however, her guard was completely up as she didn't trust the male human and male organoid at all. She watched every movement of the two males through the corner of her eyes. The male human watched the fire whilst the black organoid was curled by his side; but kept his senses sharp for any enemies.

Sapphire slowly slid into unconsciousness as her eyes closed. Her chest gave a slow rhythm as it slowly rose and fell. Mai lifted her head and looked to the face of her human companion; she growled faintly as she acknowledged that her master had fallen asleep. She rested her metallic head upon her master's stomach; but did not apply much weight. Raven looked over to the two females are so that they both were close and seemed to look out for each other. However; he proved to be different with his organoid, he made sure that Shadow wasn't as close to him as the other two are, but instead he only thinks of him as a tool.

Images of the dream flashed before her eyes; which caused her to experience the pain all over again. The blonde female called Elisi Linette; and the white haired female called Aleera. Then the appearance of Dr. Rafael; which calls her a demon as well as the bringer of evil, to which Elisi believes. Aleera feels tremendous pain as she was betrayed by the blonde female. Tears falling from her eyes for the first time; her then being bounded by the men, then Dr. Rafael threatening her is she did not oblige. However; this time it seemed as if the dream continued.

Something seemed to have awoken deep inside Aleera since a dark aura emitted around her. Her eyes no longer a deep blue; not even a deep purple but a very dangerous red that looked exactly like blood. However; her black pupils were no longer round, but they were slits like a cat. The top of her head seemed to have clouded in darkness; but instead of the colour white, it turned out to be the colour black. The darkness seemed to have slowly crept down her hair as all of it slowly turned to the dark colour.

The chains that bound her arms behind her back snapped. They fell to her sides as her joints acted as if she was a puppet. She lifted her head to show the new colour of eyes. Instead of looking at the others; they focused upon Rafael that seemed to have been shocked with the new change. His eyes quaking as if his prediction of her being a demon; the bringer of all evil had come true. However; something did not seem quite right as she looked upon the red headed man.

"Take Elisi away from here. I don't want her corrupted by this demon" Rafael spoke firmly.

All the regular clothed men complied as they led her away from the hill. Elisi looked back and saw that the blood red eyes were watching her disappear out of sight. The different Aleera turned her gaze back to the man that was standing in front of her. His piercing green eyes now returned back to their original state. A cruel smirk sat upon his features as he watched the seven year old female in front of him.

"So… your earth name is Rafael is it? Elimination still is your plot? Still attempting to destroy both angels and fallen angels? Just as expected of you; to continue with your hatred of us. Getting your own hands dirty to complete your ultimate task; however, I'm the last of my kind now. All fallen angels' fates are within my grasp; the only way to free them from you is to destroy your very being. However; Aleera, the descendant of my twin and me, isn't ready enough to go against you just yet. Not only that; but you too are not strong enough to fight" she spoke.

Her voice sounded darker and much more different from her previous voice. Viciousness and hatred dripped off every word. Deep within the midst of her hatred; amusement was embedded within. Rafael glared evilly at her as he knew what she was talking about; and she was indeed right, he had not regained all of his powers back to fight. He was vulnerable in this state; it was a chance of a life time where he was completely defenceless. But this one chance slipped by as the descendant of an angel and a fallen angel was not yet ready to fight against him.

"You know all along then? Everything; you knew that it was me torturing your descendant. It appears you're a step ahead of me at the moment" he replied to her slightly angered.

"You are wrong; I did not know that you came in human form. It was Aleera that knew; that is why she didn't trust you, let alone like you. The credit really goes to her" she replied with a smug smirk.

She was really happy that her descendant had noticed that he was different to normal people by his aura; that was where she was gifted, even more gifted that her two ancestors. The fallen angel had no idea who he was at first; but Aleera knew, she knew that he wasn't exactly human to begin with, so she knew that he was untrustworthy. Able to sense whether people could be trusted or not by their auras was a very clever idea. But things were to become more complicated in the future.

"Vera; never once had I imagined that you would appear in front of me again. But I must ask one question. Where is your twin sister Viola?" he spoke.

"Viola is none of your concern. Just because we both are the last of our kinds; it does not mean that you have the advantage over us. Despite us being opposites; we get along a lot better than you think. After all; opposites attract" she replied with defiance of giving him information.

He didn't like the result of this as he glared deathly at her. However; Vera was oblivious to what he was planning on doing. A smirk appeared upon his features as he looked at her. Her features distorted into confusion as she wondered what he had planned. All she knew was that something was not right. She gave a glare that equally the intensity of the sun's heat. However; he was used to her glaring at him like that, so he just replied with a smirk.

He then flicked his right wrist as she was then surrounded by a black light that consumed her entire being. It formed the shape of a capsule which encased her. The shape completely formed as she then glared out of the translucent green glass that encased her. Rafael gave a proud smirk as he waved goodbye to her. She glared even harder as she then knew that he had planned this all along. He was going to seal her away for many years; maybe forever if he could.

Sapphire jolted awake which caused Mai to instantly take her head off of her stomach. Raven looked to the female that seemed to be breathing heavily. Shadow also looked to the female as he wondered what was going on. Mai nudged her master's arm as she worried over her. Sapphire looked to the gold organoid that had worry written in her green eyes. She placed a hand on the creature's snout and carefully caressed it. Slowly but surely; Mai was eased as she understood that she wanted to keep it to herself till she was ready to tell her.

Raven soon looked back to the fire but looked at her through the corner of his eyes. He knew there was something that she was keeping secret; but he also knew that she wasn't planning on telling willingly. A secret so deep; that it probably would take about… forever to convince her on speaking about it. Somehow every nightmare was a clue to something; which he knew so he didn't push his limits. He would only ask when he knew that she had gathered the bits and pieces together.

But for now; it was best to keep out of her business, this he knew well. Shadow gave a growl before laying his head back onto the sandy ground. Mai laid her head upon her master's lap as she liked having her attention. However; Sapphire was wondering what Raven was actually thinking since she saw him look at her for a moment. The light weight of the gold organoid's head shifted to a slightly heavier one. Sapphire looked down to her organoid and saw that she was now sleeping.

Shadow watched his human master carefully as he understood that Raven had something for the female human. Whether it being hatred, amusement, or something else, he knew something was going to happen. Mai too knew that both humans had something for the other; but whether it being a good or bad thing was oblivious to her, however, she didn't want any form of pain going her companions way at all.
