Chapter 9: Mount Saeiga
Taylor pointed at the side of the drilling platform "Tie her there and make sure she doesn't get away, I want no harm to get to her." The Knights nodded. Kiara whimpered as they chained her to a pole near the edge of the platform, the volcano roaring underneath them. Taylor paced around, hating Wolf for keeping so much from him, as if holding him back, as if he was JEALOUS. "Wolf doesn't understand, the power, the fever has so much power, it's definitely a gift from the gods" He muttered. The drilling platform he stood on was part of a very large facility, used to mine coal and other minerals Dark Wolf needed for their armor, weapons, and other supplies. Lava shot up high into the sky, but an external, invisible shield obliterated any lava that got too close. Kiara struggled against her chains, tears rolling down her eyes. Taylor looked over too her and said "I'm doing this for you, too protect you, once the C.I.K. and whatever is left of Strike Force learns about the Rebellion…no…the REVOLUTION in the city, they will rush to attack. You are much safer here" Kiara continued thrashing at her chains. From behind a boulder Kacie had been watching the entire scene. Hearing this, she ran out to Taylor "Please stop this!! Put the Fever back!! It will kill you!" She screamed. Taylor looked over at her, eyes as blood red as ever "Don't you understand!? I control it, the power, and the energy! It feels too good!! And besides, I use it for good, to keep my friends safe…and the Kingdom hopefully intact" But Kacie countered this "At what cost!? You're a good person please don't do this!!" Taylor smiled and stroked her hair "Have faith my love, everything will soon be set right, listen! I am even more powerful then King Ian, I, I, I could overthrow him!" Kacie backed away slowly, unable to believe what she is hearing "And together you and I can rule all of Dark Wolf, make everything the way WE want it to be!!" Kacie stopped "I can't believe what I'm hearing!! Wolf was right, you have CHANGED!!" Taylor growled "I don't want to hear any more about Wolf" Taylor took a step forward "The Kingdom and he turned against me, DON'T YOU TURN AGAINST ME!!!" He roared. Kacie felt tears on her cheeks "I don't know you anymore!! Taylor please stop!! My heart can't take it anymore!!" Taylor glared at her "Because of Wolf Mcloud?!" Kacie slumped to the ground "Because of everything!! What you have done and what you are planning!! Please don't let the fever take you, stop, come back! I LOVE YOU!!!" Taylor looked at the entrance to the platform, the smoke billowing into the grey sky. And there, he saw Wolf, standing with his hands on his hips, a look of pity on his face. Taylor turned his head sharply back "YOU LIAR!!!!" Kacie whimpered and looked at Wolf, knowing what was about to happen "NO!!! NO NO!!!!!!!!" "You ARE WITH HIM!!! YOU BROUGHT HIM HERE SO HE CAN END ME!!!!" Taylor roared and he grasped Kacie by the neck with one hand and hoisted her into the air. Kacie gasped as his grip tightened and tears ran down her cheeks. "LET HER GO NOW TAYLOR, LEAVE HER OUT OF THIS" Wolf roared at him, but Taylor continued choking the life out of Kacie. All Kiara could do was scream at Wolf to save her. "RELEASE HER NOW OR THERE WILL MORE THEN JUST ME YOU WILL HAVE TO DEAL WITH!!!" At this Taylor looked over at him, small tears under his eyes. He looked back, considered it for a minute, and suddenly threw Kacie to the edge, next to Kiara who screamed at Kacie to see if she was ok. Wolf growled at Taylor and he snarled back. Taylor fingered the hilt of the Wolfsaeiga carefully. Wolf saw his actions and paced around the platform. Taylor copied his movements and prepared for the ultimate fight. Wolf gritted his teeth and began "It was my duty…to protect the bearer of the Fever and to make sure it didn't hurt the innocent. Seeing as one task is a failure, I must fulfill the second…good bye Taylor" Wolf drew the FallSaeiga. Taylor turned his back and through clenched teeth said "You can certainly try, my old friend." And with that Taylor drew Wolfsaeiga, and did a black flip towards Wolf, whirling around he brought the blade down to meet his to begin the ultimate climatic struggle for survival
"DIIIIEEEEEE!!!!!"
