Summary: (I forgot to mention this last chapter but Saber is still pretty low on mana due to the war. Thus the problem with Avalon's healing.)
Guesses of who her worst enemy is? Should not be that hard.
Notes: A friend voted for me to do this chapter so here it is.
(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)
The Island Headquarters
Alec's POV
"Hey Alec."
"Yeah?"
What now?
"One of the guards says there's a storm forming. He's requesting to bring the troops in."
"Give him the affirmative."
"Got it."
It was a few minutes before Zach called for him again.
"Hey Alec, come look at this."
"What is it now?"
"I'm picking up two heat signatures moving up the southern beach. There appeared out of no where."
"Ok, radio the rest of the squad. We'll go check it out. The grunts can never do anything right."
Zach nodded before moving over to the radio.
"And tell them standard patrol armour."
"Affirmative."
"Zach."
His friend grinned and he smiled. They were a close knit group and thus informal. They would act formal to screw around with the 3 people that had been transferred to their unit. They knew the 3 were there to basically spy on them but besides their informality there was nothing wrong. The trio had reported to their boss multiple times but he didn't care.
As long as they did their jobs right their families would be safe and they would get paid. It wasn't that bad... But...
I don't like having to catch innocents and basically sentence them to a painful death or worse...
Alec and the 5 other 'main' members of the squad had been forced into their current job by a group of dark individuals.
It was either you joined and lived or resisted and your family was killed. They had been close friends then and now were even closer.
But the worst part of the job was that if they failed a mission a family member would suffer...
It took then a few minutes to get ready and get to where the two signatures were.
"It looks like they're heading for the ravine. Want to cut them off?"
"Yes."
The small ravine was the only way into the interior of the island, from the south side.
He was extremely surprised when a girl in armour walked around the bend. A boy in a tabard of some sort followed a moment later.
"Woah she's cute."
"Not right now Tony."
"But she is!"
"I didn't say she wasn't..." He sighed.
He motioned for them to set their guns to stun and to get into position.
Things had been going well up until that point.
I swear those three are trying to kill us or make us fail!
One of the trio had kicked a rock, sending it down the side in a loud clatter.
He immediately motioned for the unit to duck down and hid. Instead of listening to his orders the trio jumped up and let off a quick storm of shots.
He jumped up to see that they had shot at the boy who was now sprawled out on the ground behind the girl.
The blond looked up at them before the trio shot at her too. He gasped when she collapsed. Jacob had shot her heart.
He glared at the man.
"Sorry" said Jacob, though the look on his face said otherwise.
They slid down the side of the ravine, Jacob walking over to the boy.
All of them were shocked when the girl suddenly shot to her feet and impaled Jacob on her sword.
I've never seen a sword like that one. I wonder what model it is?
He snapped back to his senses when the girl shouted and charged then, killing one more of the trio.
If we live this could solve some problems...
They started to shoot at the girl which forced her on the defensive. But not before she killed the last of the trio.
Well then, she's good, whoever she is.
They were slowly getting pushed back so he signaled for Jack to go grab the boy. He seemed to get the idea and ran around, grabbing the boy and dragging him away. They would let the girl escape but had to get the boy.
"S-Sab..."
"No! Kurapika!"
The girl had locked blades with four of them and wasstill pushing them back. He was forced to join the lock so that she didn't win. He immediately noticed her overwhelming presence.
I feel like I'm near a born leader.
"Kurapika!"
Damn it! Can't she see we're trying to save her?! I know Tony'd never try anything but some of the others could and I don't want to even think about what Morgan would do.
"Look we're trying to save you!"
Her head snapped towards him.
"We can say that one got away but if both did then our boss would kill or torture our families... I'm sorry but between this boy and them, family takes priority."
I feel bad for the poor thing.
"Then take me! Leave him alone!"
I can't let them get her! If Morgan got her...
"No! He's probably going to die anyway!"
"No he's not! Just take me!"
"No! They will torture you!"
"I don't care!"
What?!
He looked at the girl in shock "Depending on what ward you're put in they'll..."
"I don't care" she growled.
"But they might rape you!"
"I don't care," stated the girl with an authoritative tone "as long as it isn't my worst enemy, who is dead now, then I DON'T CARE."
Sh-She doesn't care?
He looked at her for a moment, "Are you sure?"
"Yes, and I won't try and run. I will do whatever I'm told."
He sighed in defeat, "Put the boy somewhere that isn't in the wind and rain."
The other men nodded picked up the boy and carried him away.
The two just stood there and watched each other for a moment, "I'm going to have to take your weapon and bind your hands..."
She nodded before stabbing her sword into the ground and hold her hands out in front of her.
She's not even trying to escape.
"You aren't going to try and run?"
"It would go against my morals and the code of Chivalry. I said I would do whatever you say to do so I will."
Her morals? A code? Chivalry? I thought that died thousands of years ago. Or at least the legend says so.
He nodded at her and attached some (surprisingly heavy) cuffs to her hands.
She looked at them, then back up at him when he moved.
He smiled at sadly, "I'm sorry but I have to do this." He lunged towards her and hit a pressure point on her neck, causing her to fall to the ground, unconscious.
A minute later the rest of the squad returned.
I can't believe it...
"She didn't try and run or anything... She just stood there and did as she said she would."
"Yeah... I know. We all do. It's a shame that we will have to break her. She's a pretty one."
"And strong too. This sword is extremely heavy" said another as he struggled to pull the sword out of the ground.
It's real!
"Wow it is, and it's a real one as well. Not a lightsaber, darksaber or a vibro-weapon like most people that have swords carry now."
"But she make it through the torture? You know what Nicholas likes to do..."
"Yeah... but his wards better than Morgans...
I probably going to regret this...
"I know. I'm probably going to regret this later but I'm going to watch and see how long she lasts. Someone as strong as her deserves to be remembered... I want to be there when she falls."
^(He still thinks Kurapika's going to die)
They all agreed.
"Let's meet in the camera room. We can 'relieve' the droids from their duty for a bit."
He picked up the girl and started the walk back to the base.
I never did learn her name. All I know is the beginning, Sab...
The rest of his unit followed. They left the bodies of the trio behind. They would have another unit get them.
Approximately 20 minutes later.
After they arrived back at the base they had headed up to their headquarters and called Nicholas up.
He looked back down at the girl again. She kept muttering things like "I'm sorry" and "Shirou."
Poor thing.
While they were fighting he hadn't realized it but the girl was quite short. Alec shook his head when he found himself thinking about how he found her small, well-toned body attractive.
He almost jumped when Nick came in.
He scowled and at look on the man's face when he saw the girl he was holding.
They all knew that the man loved to torture people and had been displeased when he received only two in the past month.
He (reluctantly) handed the girl over to Nicholas.
The man smiled sickly before turning around and walking back to his level.
They waited for him to reach the stairs before running down to the end of their level and into the control room. They deactivated the two droids before switching the cameras to Nick's level.
They were glad that his level was two below there's so he was just reaching out when they got the cameras up. They didn't know what cell he would put the girl in though they had an idea.
They were right and watched as the man went into the cell across from from his other two prisoners.
They switched the main screen to the camera that was in the cell.
He, Zach and Jonathan frowned when Nick stripped the girl down to her undergarments. It was a common procedure in torture but they didn't like it. He cringed when the man starting running his hands over the blond's body.
Nicholas didn't rape his 'victims' but he had molested a few.
The poor girl... And she's not even awake yet.
It seemed that even though she was asleep the girl knew something was happening because she started to shiver and flinched.
He was almost relieved when the man chained the girl up and left.
It was almost unfortunate that she woke with a scream up a few minutes later due to getting shocked. Nick showed up shortly after that.
The rest of the day passed in a shocked blur; screaming, blood, swearing.
They couldn't believe the girl's resilience and resolve, let alone her healing abilities. But even though the small girl had a tough body and amazing healing powers her body itself could not keep up with her fiery heart and iron will.
They had thought about going and try to save the girl but their concern for their families stilled their feet.
Alex was about to yell at Joseph because he had got up and locked the door but Chris grabbed his attention. The man pointed to another camera then back at the girls.
A redheaded teen had burst into the base and was on a rampage.
"Saber!"
"Shirou!"
"So that's her name? Saber?"
"It seems like it."
"It's certainly fitting."
"Yeah, I just hope she lives. I mean... Just look at her!"
"Saber!"
"So this is the guy she was muttering about?"
"I guess so."
They watched as he went towards her cell where he engaged Nicholas. Shirou was able to strike Nicholas down but it wouldn't be forever but at least the girl would be safe.
Or not...
He almost cried when the girl died in the arms of the boy who turned out to be her lover.
They ignored the large group that has appeared out of nowhere.
But then the ever observant Chris caught the rest of the unit's attention. He rewound the video and made them listen.
The girl was alive!
Apparently she had so backup ability that froze her body if her main one couldn't keep up.
They hadn't realized how attached they had become to the girl until that moment.
They were happy that she would live and would be safe. Even more so since her will was intact, if anything the ordeal had made the girl more mad than anything.
Notes: I have a plan for them that I think anyone that likes any of them will like. And guys please leave a kudos or a comment. I would really appreciate.
