Hullo! Welcome to the end of Book Two: Blade of the Blood Child series! At the end of this chapter I'll annouce what the third book shall be called.
Well here we go!
Episode 10: Ashes of No More
The next morning...
The trio woke up and after snatching some free breakfast from the Hotel, they checked out and continued their journey back to the gang.
"Ahh... The place where we were staying at should be right behind this building..." Blade said after they had walked for about and hour. "Yay!" Rika cheered, "Let's hurry up then!" she said. Blade smiled and continued looking ahead. Of course he wanted Rika to meet her family but he really couldn't help but dread going back there.
He knew they were probably frantic about Fay being missing and he sincerely hoped that they hadn't place one and one together and framed him for Fay missing. He shook his head, he truely doubted that.
It was surprisingly quite as they walked along the building and the air smelled like fresh burned wood. Maybe one of the families were having a cookout or something. While being lost in his train of thoughts, he hadn't realized that Elchai had stopped infront of him until BAAMM! He ran straight into him.
"Ow! Blade! Watch were your going!" Elchai growled. "Well.. Don't stop in the middle of the road, damnit! in fact.. Why did you stop?" he asked. Elchai just pointed to the building behind him and Blade followed his hand and gasped.
It was the building where the gang was staying, or WAS.
All that was left were ashes where half of the building used to be and charred wood on the other half of the building. "Oh... No..." Blade said, sinking to the ground, "Don't tell me.." He hoped this wasn't Adverine's doing. He really hoped that Adverine or her chevaliers didn't do this.
"Blade... Um... Please tell me this is a joke and the real building is behind this one.." Rika said, nerveously. "It... It's not.." Blade said, 'Well crap... now what?' he thought gloomly. "About time you showed up..." a familar voice said. Blade looked around, "Where-?" Blade didn't have time to ask anything because next thing he knew he was slammed into a wall.
"Ugh..." Blade looked up, "H-Hajime?" he asked in confusion, staring at the masked man grabbing his neck. "You know this guy?" Elchai asked while jumpping infront of Rika to protect her. "Ye..ah.. I do.. Ha jime your choaking me-" "Where's Adverine's lair? I know your the only one who knows where so TELL ME!" he growled.
"Wh-Why do you want to know?" he asked, struggling against Hajime's grip, "And... What.. happend here? Explain that first!" Hajime sighed and released Blade, "Fine... I'll tell you what happend... One of Adverine's lackies apparently found us and kidnapped Fay. Unfortunately, before I could get Fay back from him I was hit from behind, probably from another chevalier.. When I woke up, I came back here and set the building on fire and woke everyone up and told them to leave quickly and find Saya's chevalier.." Hajime explained.
"Umm... You do realized you SET a BUILDING on fire for no FREAKIN REASON?" Blade asked. "I needed to do that.. I wanted to make sure that if one of her chevaliers came back they would think someone already attacked us so they wouldn't hunt us down... Now tell me where her lair is.. My patiance is growing thin.." he said.
"So everyone just up and left? Gezz..." Blade said. "Sigh... Seth and Seiya stayed. Infact... Seiya! Seth! Their back!" Hajime called and suddenly Seiya and Seth jumpped down from the roof. "Blade!" Seiya said and ran up to hug Blade, "Thank god your okay..." Seth just smiled at Blade and looked over to Elchai and then to Rika.
Suddenly, everything in the world just stopped and all that was left was Seth and Rika in his mind. He didn't quite understand what was going on but he was frozen in his tracks.
"Seth!" Blade called and Seth snapped out of it, "Yes?" "Quit gwanking at her.." he teased and Seth blushed, "Whatever..." he growled.
Seiya tilted her head, "So... I'm guessing that's Rika but.. first.. Who's that?" she asked, pointing at Elchai. "Ohh..." Blade said, "Meet Elchai Latte... he's um.. Rika's second chevalier I just met a few days ago.."
"Quit calling me Elchai Latte!" Elchai growled, "I'm not a hot beverage..." Rika laughed, "Haha don't they just crack you up, sis?" Seiya nodded, "Haha they do..." the two sisters stepped closer to each other. "So... Your my twin sister.." Seiya said and Rika nodded, "Yup!" Both sisters gave each other a hug, "It's soo nice to finally meet you!" Rika said.
Blade smiled at his two favorite people in the world finally meeting but was interuptted by Hajime, "Now.. Are you going to tell me where Adverine's lair is or not?" he asked. Blade sighed, "Fine...Guess I'll make another freakin trip over there..." "Thank you.." Hajime said and then turned to everyone else, "Ahem... You three should go ahead and find the others.. I'm going to try and get Fay back.. and Blade's helpping.." he said.
"What?" Rika complained, "I finally get to see him and your taking him with you?" Hajime glared at her, "One of your aunt's children were taken by Adverine... I'm sure you can guess what hell she's going through right now.. Since Blade is the only one that knows where Adverine's lair is in Australia... I'm taking him with me.. Got it?"
Rika blinked, "Uhh... Ye..ah.." she said, "Sigh.. Well.. Let's get a move on then.." she said to the others and they began to head out. Hajime and Blade went in the other dirrection.
Meanwhile...
It took them a few days, but the gang finally made it over to New Zealand. Apparently there was a Fashion Show going on this week and alot of reporters were in town.
Kai paid for a hotel room for everyone to stay at and while the others rested, Kai and Solomon went out to search for Nathan. Thankfully it didn't take them long to find the Blonde hanging outside the theater area, taking pics of the models coming in and out from rehersal.
Solomon approached Nathan and tapped him on the shoulder. Nathan turned around and was surprised to see Solomon, "Solomon! Did you travel all the way out here to see moi?" he asked and then looked behind him to see Kai. He grinned and walked over to him, "Ahh! And you brought Kai as well! Long time no see!"
"Brother.. Would you mind discussing something with us for a moment? It's of real importance..." Solomon said. Nathan sighed, "Sigh.. I guess an hour or two wont cost me too much... But really Solomon... Next time try not to interfer with the affairs of the theater.." he pouted while putting his camera in his bag.
Kai and Solomon lead Nathan towards their hotel room, "So Solomon, you finally got your wish and joined Saya's side, I see.." Solomon nodded, "Yes.. Though I didn't actually plan on really becoming her chevalier... It sort of became neccessary..." he said. "Ahh..."
Everyone stepped into the hotel suite.
"So, what is the big question, gentlemen?" he asked. "Brother... Are you.. Really Diva's chevalier? Or.. Are you.. Saya.. no not the Saya in the next room, the first Saya's chevalier?" Solomon asked.
Nathan grinned, "Ahh... So you've finally figure it out... Yes.. I am the first Saya's chevalier.."
"So will you help us then?" Kai blurted out, "We need someone that could match either Adverine's strength herself or her chevalier's strength... Adverine is trying to wipe out all chiropterans...and-"
"Ahh... nothing new then... Sorry... Adverine has always been a drama queen like that... Wanting to be the only Queen on this earth.. Sigh... Well.. I don't mind helpping you two out... but you did murder the one person that could mainly help you..."
Solomon and Kai blinked, "Diva could of stopped Adverine?"
Nathan nodded, "Yes... Only her controlling voice would weaken Adverine and her chevaliers and have the blood, with the help of me of course, to stop her... This was why I teamed up with Amshel in the first place..."
"Shit! We screwd up then!" Kai moaned. "Wait..." Solomon said, "It's not over yet... Nathan.. what if someone inherited Diva's singing voice and blood? Would they be just as useful as Diva?" he asked.
"Hmmm..." Nathan thought, "It might work... it's certainly worth a shot.. but who do you have i mind?" Nathan asked. Solomon smiled, "Seiya definatly inherited Diva's singing voice.. If we can confirm that she has the same blood as you.. she would be perfect!"
"Your daughter inherited that? Hmmm... That's pretty impressive... Only Diva and the first of all chiropterans could use that gift, at least that's how the legend goes.." Nathan mused.
"Where did you hear about the first of all chiropterans?" Kai asked. "The same place most things originate from.. The middle east... Egypt to be exact... But that's for another time.." Nathan looked around, "So where is the dear anyway?" he asked.
"Well... she should be here hopefully in a few days.. We had to seperate due to Adverine's chevaliers finding us.." Solomon explained. "So I have to wait? Ahh... Solomon Solomon..." Nathan reached into his pocket and handed Solomon two tickets, "Well that being the case... You should bring Saya out to see the show tonight.. It's pretty specktacular..." he winked.
"Well I'll be off... Goodbye brother! Goodbye Kai!" he waved and walked out the door.
Fianlly.. all there was to do now was wait...
Wait and hope that Seiya and Seth make it back safely.
