Metal Revolution.
Chapter 9 – The Impossible Is Witnessed.

Clashing their swords together, the rebel and the servant fought for freedom.

But after a harsh slam to the face from his enemy's elbow, Gingka was knocked back onto the ground. The fresh blood from his split eye poured down his determined face. "You were taught well huh?" He complimented briefly and reached out his hand to pick up his sword.

Sadly, the dark haired soldier kicked away the weapon and he held his sword up to Gingka's throat. "I was taught a lot better than you it would seem." Jonathon smugishly stated and glanced over his shoulder at his reinforcement. Ruthlessly, he shifted his head aside and summoned them to grab the couple.

"No." The strawberry blond gasped as two soldiers grabbed the Queen by either arm. "Madoka..."

"Gingka! No!" She screamed in fear and slapped a soldier in the nose to delay her arrest. The brunette was helpless without a weapon attached to her. Yet it made her skin crawl with disgust when she realised that her cries and pleas only widened the grin on the generals lips as she was dragged onto a horse. "Jonathon! Let us go! Now!"

"I wish I could." Jonathon replied sarcastically and handcuffed Gingka himself. "Attach him to a horse then get the pair back to the castle. I'm sure a rescue has been sent out to fetch them, so be on your guard."

Oh yes, this man was clever, he knew exactly what was coming, especially now the King had gained two prime valuable people – the deputy leader, Sophie and the leaders very own son, Gingka.

The war now was officially getting dirty~

xXx

Wriggling her eyebrows at the scraps that were provided on the table before her, Sophie turned her attention to the cabin window to notice that Kyoya's isolated home was near the rebel hideout itself. How did he not notice anything yet? Or maybe he just can't be arsed to share the knowledge?

Either way, it was a bonus for her.

But just as the idea of escaping in the night popped up into her mind, her new slave owner strolled towards the table with his plate of fish and potatoes. It looked far more appetising then the meal he'd given her, a slice bread and stale ham.

"So, this place is a perfect training ground for our little ritual huh?" Kyoya announced to break the tension in the atmosphere.

"I couldn't have chosen a better location myself." The rebel leader with a ball and chain on her ankle shrugged and folded her arms bravely. "Why do you even care about hosting a bit-beasts power anyways? Is it because Jonathon can do it?"

"That's none of your business slave." Kyoya twitched and picked up his knife and fork. "You will learn to speak when spoken to, do you understand?"

Gob-smacked at how this fellow being was speaking to her, the girl in the white dress refused to look at her new 'owner'. She was too busy sulking about this mess that she'd somehow ended up in.

Meanwhile the tanned bodyguard was to irritated by the new piece of information she'd shared. Jonathon has merged with his bit-beast!? That's crazy! Everyone knows his creature is more fucked up and darker then he is – He bit down on his lower lip and then slammed down the cutlery in frustration.

"Uh..." Sophie jumped and spared him an innocent glance. "What?"

"Nothing." He snarled and lost his appetite for his delicious meal. "How long has Jonathon been able to perform this trick then Sophie? You told me that he had been doing the ritual wrong."

Shrugging, she thought about the previous occasions in which the dark haired soldier had assisted her in the past. He was the reason that she was still alive and breathing. Jonathon would slip her some chocolate and threaten anyone who would beat her to the verge of death.

At first, the blonde thought he was bribing her to keep quiet. But after seeing the comparison of how Kyoya had treated her over the past few weeks, it felt as if she'd shot herself in the foot. Even in the prison cell had Jonathon been much more human as a person.

"I feel like I have made a mistake." Sophie thought out loud with guilt wrenching in her stomach. Her swollen body just couldn't heal quick enough for the training schedule that she had mentally prepared for Kyoya to complete his ritual with his bit-beast.

A mistake? - Kyoya growled and rose up from the table with his palms flat on the surface. "If you take me for a fool Sophie. Let me enlighten you on something." He leaned closer to make sure he'd got her full attention and their eyes met.

"If I cannot trust you, I will execute you myself as you are worthless to me and I own you." He threatened and watched her bruised face go pale. "If you attempt to escape from this cabin, you will die. I promise you that."

What? - The deputy rebel general blinked with her heart skipping the odd beat. It sounds like he's a step ahead, but how!? How can a single man stop me from running through the woods?!

"If you are deliberately delaying my road to success. I will show you the consequence of your 'mistake'." Kyoya closed his eyelids and he then pushed her meal onto the floor. "You don't fuck with me, got it?"

"Right."

"Good. Now I'm going to return to the castle to visit the King. When I get back, I want my training schedule rearranged to perfection for tonight."

With that all off his chest, Kyoya re-opened his eyes and made his way out the kitchen into the front room to pick up his brown cloak that was hanging up near the front door. He deliberately left the slave to dwell in her own world as he left the cabin to fetch his horse.

xXx

After witnessing the disturbing power that was engraved inside the powerful soldier, Raina stood behind the large tree with her hands covering her mouth. She was forcing her to stay quiet so Jonathon and his men wouldn't find her.

Despite that she felt like shit for letting the King arrest her loyal queen and Gingka, tears filled her eyes. For the first time in a very long, the golden brunette felt afraid for her life. She crouched down and curled up into a ball when she registered the sound of the Ryuga's soldiers leaving the scene.

"They've taken her. Madoka." She gasped in shock and began to cry softly. "My only friend. No."

Yet just as she was about to give into that fire that was burning vibrantly in her stomach, the girl felt an animal breath into her face. She slowly lifted up her head and found herself come face to face with a wolf.

"Uh..." Raina gasped and froze on the spot. "Crap."

But just as she gently reached her hand out to the stick that was laying beside her on the floor, Raina registered the sound of horses galloping into her direction. Both her and the wolf focused their gaze onto the intruders.

"Tsubasa! Dynamis! Amaya!" Raina called out in relief as the wolf fled at the sight of the three large horses. Her moisten eyes lit up and her tense body eased slightly. "Man am I glad to see you three!"

"Are you okay?" Amaya asked and held out a hand to the ally to help her up onto her horse. "The wolf didn't hurt you did it?"

Nodding a no, Raina accepted the hand and jumped onto Amaya's horse. "Damn, I wish you guys had arrived sooner. The King's guards came and arrested Gingka and Madoka." She lowered her head as that helpless sensation soon returned into her heart. It was so heavy and painful~

"How long ago was this?" Tsubasa questioned with a concerned gesture on his face. His grip tightened onto the reins of the horse he was controlling."We have only been sent to rescue you."

"About 10 minutes ago..."

"We can still catch them up if we take the short cut through the woods." Dynamis commented in a dry tone. He too was very disturbed by the news he'd just heard. "We need to retrieve Gingka quickly or a war will break out."

"No, you guys can't go after them. It's too dangerous." Raina protested with tears once again fogging her view. "That soldier, Jonathon, he's too strong..."

"Jonathon? That guy has a screw loose I heard." Tsubasa tilted his head and watched Dynamis smirk confidently. "He shouldn't be a problem to take down if he is out numbered Raina."

"I wish it was that easy. But he had energy waves firing out his hands and he took down Gingka like he was an insect. He's too powerful." She went further into detail and it sent a shiver up Amaya's spine. "You okay?"

The dark haired girl lowered her eyes to the ground with disappointment thriving through her veins, "It sounds like he's done the unthinkable." She started and caught everyone's attention. "He's merged with his bit-beast..."

"No way!" Dynamis yelled in shock and ran his fingers through his hair. "That's impossible."

"Apparently not." Tsubasa rose an eyebrow. "Still, I am refusing to return to the base without trying to retrieve Gingka. Ryusei will never forgive us if we didn't attempt to bring back his son."

"You're right. Let's go quick before we run out of time." Amaya agreed and turned her horse around to hurry it through the woods. "I cannot believe this is happening."

A/N: Well, I hope this was worth the wait, especially as I have been planning it for a good week now. Man do I have some evil twists in store for some of the characters *gasps*. How you finding it all so far guys? - Granger Rebellion.
