Dream Battle

Freedom

The whole time that Train was gone, Jenos hadn't taken his eyes from Wiley. Every time a new shock was sent through her system she'd jerk. She had stopped crying, and that had Jenos concerned. The only thing that pulled Jenos from his heartache was when Train was shoved through the door and he hit the ground hard. They had done the same thing to Train as they had done to Jenos. Train glared at the Dream Being as he simply laughed, slammed the door, and walked away.

"How is she doing?" Train asked as he picked himself up off the ground.

"She's pretty bad." Jenos answered. "She's not crying, and all she does it jerk when those shocks are sent through her. I don't know how much longer she'll be able to hold up." Jenos stared at Wiley and then sighed.

"Wiley's strong, she'll survive." Train said as he set a hand on Jenos' shoulder.

"I just can't help but worry." Jenos said. "It doesn't matter, I have a plan." Jenos answered. "You know how when they take you from this cell, and down into the room at the end of the hall? When they turn to close the door attack them and shove the taser into a pocket or something. Hide it, and then when we both have one, we'll execute the rest of the plan. Which will be knocking out the guard and getting Wiley free." Jenos said.

"I hate to say this, but that's a bad plan...it's not very well thought through. Let's do it anyways." Train added with a smile. Jenos couldn't help but smile back and the only thing left to do was wait.

In her cell Wiley wasn't doing so well. The pain that she was going through was so strong, and so intese that she couldn't focus on anything but the pain. Her nerve tissues were being fried, and because of that, she just continued to jerk from the false signals that were being sent to her brain. In order to forget the pain, Wiley retreated into her mind, where pain didn't exist. She sacrificed everything that she didn't need, but there was one thing that she held onto dearly. All of her memories of Jenos were stored in the safe part of her mind, everything else she didn't care about.

The door at the end of the hall opened and a Dream Being walked out. Instead of going to Train and Jenos' cell they walked to Wiley's.

"I can't believe that I have to unchain her." The Dream Being muttered and then walked into the cell. He unchained Wiley, and let her fall to the floor. Wiley hit the floor and didn't even notice. "Disgusting." The Dream Being muttered and then walked away, leaving her cell open.

"Too bad they can't do that with ours..." Train muttered.

"Wiley! Wiley wake up!" Jenos yelled to her. Wiley didn't move, occaisionally she still twitched, but that had stopped now that she didn't have the continious flow of electricity flowing through her body.

"Here, let me try." Train said. "Wiley, if you don't wake up, they're going to kill Jenos!" At that Wiley sat up and removed her blind fold. Her chains slower her movements some, but she was still able to move.

"Jenos?" Wiley asked as she looked around. Her eyes were blurry, but she could see well enough. Wiley pushed herself to her feet and then slowly made her way towards the door. She pushed through it and then headed over towards the cell that Train and Jenos were in. "You're okay." Wiley said with a relieved smile. She put her hands on the door and yanked it out of the cell. It came free easily, and Train and Jenos were even surprised.

"Way to go Wiley!" Train said. Wiley turned to him with a confused look on her face.

"Who're you?" Wiley asked as she stared at him in confusion. Train and Jenos stared at her.

"You don't remember who I am?" Train asked.

"I knew you?" Wiley asked.

"You know who I am, right?" Jenos asked.

"Of course I know who you are!" Wiley said.

"We'll deal with the memory problem later. Let's just get out of here." Train said as he walked out of the newly 'opened' door. They were running down the hall when they were intercepted.

"Hey! How did you get out of your cells?!" the Dream Beings headed straight for them, but Wiley took the front. Instead of the broken person that she had been before she stood tall and strong in the face of the enemies. Wiley used the chains that were attatched to her cuffs and whiped them all. Their heads flew off with the force in which she had whipped the chain.

For a moment Train and Jenos stared in shock. They had trained in lots of weapons, but never in whips or chains. They were shocked that she knew how to do it. They pushed the thought from their minds, and then continued on their way. Wiley followed quickly and silently. Most of the time she would be right there with them, but for some reason she fell back some. She definetly wasn't the same Wiley as before.

Jenos and Train didn't even have time to see the Dream Beings before Wiley struck out with her chains again. They were surprised, but she wielded the chains with such ease and grace, it was frightening.

It didn't take them long to get out of the base. It was surprisingly empty for something of its size. They guessed that they had taken a big chunk of the troops out when they first arrived. Once they were sure that they were far enough away from the base they stopped and regained their breath.

"Let's get these collars off." Train muttered. He hated wearing a collar more than Wiley or Jenos did. Jenos walked over and tried to yank it apart, but it didn't come apart. He tried several other ways, but still, they didn't move. "Just wait until I get my hands on them..." Train growled.

"Allow me to try?" Wiley asked. Train nodded and Wiley walked over. Her fingers curled around the collar and then she yanked on it. The collar shattered under her demon strength. She turned to Jenos and did the same, but she didn't bother with her own.

"Why don't you take yours off?" Train asked.

"If I do, I will bleed to death. Since my body has healed itself, removing them would redo the damage that was done before, and my body will not be able to heal itself again." Wiley explained. "Even if I could remove them, you both are unarmed and it wouldn't be as easy to weild the chains if I removed them. In the end, I keep them on for my own free will, as much as I can't remove them."

It made sense. In the end Train and Jenos stopped contemplating what to do. They sat there and Wiley was silent.

"Do you remember Train?" Jenos asked.

"Train?" Wiley asked.

"Yes, me." Train answered.

"If that is the case, then no. The only one that I remember is Jenos, and what my name is. The rest is gone. Stored somewhere in my mind that I can't reach currently. Either that or Wiley is holding onto the memories in a part of our mind that I can't reach." Wiley explained.

"What do you mean 'our mind'?" Jenos asked.

"There are two of us here now. The pain made Wiley retreat back into her mind, far enough so that she couldn't feel it at all. She took all her most cherished memories with her. I can look at the cherished memories, but the rest are lost to us, or at least me."

"If Wiley is in your mind, who're you?" Train asked.

"I am Savio. Her old name from when she was a child and before she joined Chronos. I know that much, other than that, I don't know anything." Savio explained. "Even though I am more childish than Wiley, I am still, in essence her, and I'm as intelligent as she is, I just don't repress that fact, as she does." Savio explained. "Is there anything else you wish to know?"

"Yes, why doesn't Wiley come out?" Jenos chimed in.

"She can't."

"What? Why?"
"She feels the danger lurking all around us, and she refuses to come out and face the probability of pain. She is simply terrified of pain and torture now. No one has ever been able to reach her like that before, aside from you, Jenos. She created me in order to make sure that you made it through this. There is no one that she wishes to live more than you." Savio was speaking straight to Jenos. There were so many emotions that were coming through her words that Jenos didn't know what to say. "They're coming." Savio said as she headed towards the danger.

"Ah, it's you." The Dream Being in charge said. "Tell me, are you afraid?" He asked.

"I'm afraid that you have the wrong person. Wiley is no longer in charge of this body. For the time being I am, and I am not afraid of you. You are simply some mannerism of creature that has gone wrong, and I'm going to end you." Savio said as she whipped her chains at him. He caught them around his arms. Savio yanked back on her chains and he came flying towards her. Savio slammed him into the ground several times and then tossed him into the air. She let him soar into the sky, and when he came back down towards her, she slammed her chains into his back and then slammed him back down on the ground, harder than before.

"You're strong, I'll give you that." The Dream Being said. "However, you're going to have to do better than that in order to kill me. As you probably already know, you have to behead us in order for us to die."

"Obviously." Savio said coldly. Instead of taking the ranged attack she headed straight for him with her chains flying into the air behind her. The second that she was close enough she whipped her chain around his neck, but his arm was there to avoid getting the whole chain around his neck. Savio glared at him, and then yanked him closer to her. "Tell me, are you afraid of death?"

"No. I will never die." He answered.

"Shame. You should be. You're going to burn in the deepest pit of hell, and I will ask my grandfather if he can torture you as he's never tortured someone before. I'm sure that he'd enjoy it." Savio said. Suddenly there was a knife in her hand and she tore it across his neck swiftly and violently. There was still some of his head attatched, and she ripped it off. His body and his head disappeared in a whisp of smoke.

"You did it!" Train exclaimed. Savio shook her head.

"No, he's still alive, that was simply a doll, or golem if you will." Savio explained. "He will be back, next time I will not take an easy on him."

"That was taking it easy?" Train asked, Savio nodded her head. "Holy damn."

"If you're the more childish version of Wiley, why do you seem more serious?" Jenos asked.

"That's simple, Wiley was a very serious child who didn't have much time for play while she was hiding from the authorities who were after her, for various reasons. Wiley matured and let more emotions out. Most of the time she was just hard core logic in this point in her childhood. Tell me, do you two always ask this many questions?" Savio asked.

"Normally, no." Jenos answered. "These are special circumstances." He explained. Savio nodded. Jenos imagined his weapon and Train did the same. With their weapons things would be easier, and they wouldn't have to be on the more paranoid side of things in case they were snuck up on.

"How were you able to imagine that knife when that collar would have shocked you?" Train asked as he realized what Savio had done.

"I feel no pain." Savio answered simply, for once not going into a long winded explaination. "Shall we move on to find a better place to set up camp?" Savio asked, changing the subject, she obviously didn't want to talk about the feeling no pain answer she'd just given to them. Train and Jenos didn't press it, instead they headed away from the base even more. Neither of them wanted to anger Savio, she was frightening. Especially in the way that she weilded those chains of hers.

They walked slowly, they didn't want to exhaust themselves before too long, nor did they want to imagine anything. At the moment all they wanted to do was sleep before things started to go wrong. This seemed like an almost hopeless battle, but with Savio the tides seemed to have changed. She was fearless and didn't feel pain, or so she said.

Jenos and Train were looking back at Savio every once in while to make sure that she was still there. She was so quiet that they forgot she was there. Jenos wanted Wiley back, but he could understand why she had created a second personality. She had been traumatized, and she needed to recover. He'd wait for her, no matter how long it took. That's when he realized something.

"Savio," Jenos started, "Will Wiley live longer than I will?" Jenos asked.

"Yes, by many years." Savio explained. "It is likely that you will die, and she will wander through time, looking for your reincarnation."

"Why has she never told me this?" Jenos asked.

"She didn't want you to know. Of course you would figure it out once you noticed that she didn't age a day as you grew old. Wiley was afraid of your reaction to the fact that she would out live you." Savio explained. Jenos had to hand it to Wiley, she had a lot of secrets, but Savio seemed to be an open book compared to her. "Let's rest here." Savio said. She closed her eyes and imagined an underground bunker with comfy beds and a few look outs here and there. They desended into the bunker and each walked into their respective rooms. "I will stay up and watch tonight. You two rest." Savio said as she walked back up the stairs and sat on the trap door enterance. Jenos and Train gratefully collasped onto the beds, and were asleep in moments.

Savio closed her eyes and retreated into her mind. Wiley was there, and she wasn't happy.

"Either stop fighting against me, or else I will kill Jenos." Savio growled to Wiley.

Once I am able to control my body again, I'll track you down and kill you! Wiley growled towards the person that was controling her body. Savio grinned wickedly and opened her eyes.

"Things are starting to become fun..."
