Nightfall soon came and helicopters landed in the forest. Karel, in a long black jacket skulked through the forest, trying her best to not be perceived. She arrived in a clearing where two men where standing in front of a helicopter.
"Mr. Smith, Mr. James," she greeted, ambling up to them. She showed them the viles of blood and handed them to Mr. Smith who placed them in a steel suitcase.
"A little less than needed but it should do. Now tell me more about this Saya? Did she show any more signs of weakness?" Mr. Smith asked.
"She's blindingly attractive, Clone 357 will have much fun with her tonight," Karel teased and then chuckled.
"Agent Karel.." Mr. Smith said petulantly.
"Sorry. Anyhow, Julia started her on an enzyme that will make her activity rate longer. But it also has increased her fatigue," Karel said. Mr. Smith looked contented with the knowledge.
"Good, good. Anything else?" he asked.
"Yes, she's in love with her Chevalier. But who wouldn't be? He's drop dead gorgeous!" Karel chortled.
"I have no time for such idle affairs. Sayonara Karel, arigato." Mr. Smith said as he and Mr. James entered the helicopter and took off.
Saya looked at the window; it was a crescent moon tonight. It reminded her of the first time she had met the Phantom. He lunged at her, gazing at her with his one seen eye and searching her body. Him smiling wickedly with excitement. Trying to grab her with his claws and hurt her. Then there was the blue rose; an alleged indication of his affection.
"Hagi," Saya said as she looked to the side.
"Do you ever think about our future together?" Saya asked. Hagi had no reply, but in his mind he begged for a future with Saya. With beautiful daughters and perpetual bliss; the fragrance of roses dancing in the wind. A little light for a man who was apathetically sullen and supposedly dark.
Saya leaned against the window sill; another moment of fatigue. Her eyes shut and quivered and her knees wobbling. Hagi walked over to her, placing his hands on her shoulders. She touched his Chiropteran hand and looked up at him.
"Do you...?" she asked as their faces neared her fatigue diminishing. Their lips lightly touching until the Phantom shouted her name. She grabbed her blade and ran down the stairs, Hagi and Kai following. This time she would kill him. They came outside, seeing Phantom and his Chiropteran army/ twelve Chiropterans.
"Saya, I come to you tonight burning with desire. I trust soon you will know what my passion for you feels like," Phantom said. Saya growled and motioned her sword. The Chiropterans spread and ran at them, Phantom just standing there looking amused. Saya sliced her palm into her sword, it streamed with blood.
The Chiropterans' skin was much harder; making it impossible for her to stab them. However, by accident she stabbed one in the eye and it crystallized. She wiped its blood from her sword and placed the tissue in Kai's hands.
"Kai, get the sample to Julia," Saya said, dodging another Chiropteran.
"But..." Kai started.
"NOW!" Saya said, her eyes glowing red with rage and sorrow. Kai had no question and ran; he knew the blood sample was vital. Moreover, delivering it was all he could do at this point. Saya stabbed another in the eye and it crystallized.
"Hagi! The eye! Stab them in the eye!" Saya shouted as Hagi threw his daggers at them. Unluckily, one Chiropteran threw Saya into the nearest alley and she hit garbage cans. Her sword was lost.
"You won't need your sword Saya, you won't need much of anything tonight," Phantom said. She swiveled her head, trying to find him. Suddenly a blue stream appeared behind her and her arms in his grasp. His lips near her neck, as if he was about to drink her blood as the most delectable thing he laid eyes on. And in his eyes, Saya was the most terrifyingly beautiful titan he had ever seen.
"I'm so excited Saya, finally you and I can be alone. But not here, somewhere where your Chevalier can't find us," Phantom said. His cheek nuzzling up against hers as he broke her arms and then threw her to the ground. The fatigue came over her again as her bones started to heal. The enzyme was trying to maintain her strength as she was healing.
Phantom's hand transformed into his Chiropteran hand, shooting red spikes at Hagi. Hagi dodged most of them but one went right through his heart and the other through his stomach. Blood dripped from his mouth as he began to lose consciousness. With his damaged heart his body was prone to hemorrhaging like crazy and his healing would hastily slow.
"Don't get up, I'll take care of Saya tonight," Phantom said.
He ran into the alley. As he exited he flew into the night sky, carrying an indisposed Saya in his arms.
