I took a step back and glared at Ryzer. "What are you doing here?" I growled.
His armor looked burnt, as well as his cloak, hair, and flesh, it looked like he went for a swim in that liquid fire. Now that I could see him in better lighting, I could see the dark purple dragon heads on his armor just below his chest plates with a large dark red gem between the dragon heads.
He smiled at me again. "I already told you, I have feelings for you. I wanted to ask you to come with." He said.
My eyes widened. "What?!" I asked in shock.
He took a step towards me. "We could go anywhere you want to go, do anything you want to do. There will be no pain or torture I promise, all I ask is for you to come with me."
I stared at him in disbelief for a while before taking a few more steps back. "Sorry Ryzer, but I don't go with people who have experimented and used me. Now get out of here before I decide to kill you." I said before turning around to follow the others.
Ryzer straightened up at glared at me as if he wasn't hurt at all. "Wrong answer Kiela." He growled.
I looked back at him from over my shoulder. "What-" I asked before I felt something pierce my side. My eyes widened and I grabbed my side once whatever was piercing my side stopped, fresh warm blood trickled onto my fingers. It must've hit something vital because I suddenly felt weak and fell to my knees, clenching my teeth in tightly as pain stabbed at my side.
Ryzer stood over me from behind, his fists clenched tightly. "Stupid Saiyan. You could've lived long enough to see the light of day again, but no. Now you will die on this planet of darkness!" He growled, putting an open hand in front of him. I looked over my shoulder at him with a slight glare, but I couldn't move, even breathing was painful. But before he could blast me, Trunks suddenly flew right next to him and landed a punch to the side of Ryzer's face, making Ryzer go flying.
"Don't you ever hurt Kiela!" Trunks growled as he charged Ryzer, who stood on shaky legs.
Ryzer looked up at Trunks as blood dripped down from his chin and put his arms in front of his face and upper body to block any attacks from Trunks. But Trunks dropped close to the ground, placing a hand on the ground, and spun around with his legs outstretched, kicking Ryzer's legs out from under him. Ryzer fell onto his back and winced in pain, he grunted as he struggled up to a sitting position, but he immediately stopped when he saw Trunks' open hand right in front of him.
"Time to pay for everything you've done to Kiela." Trunks growled before literally blasting Ryzer's head off with an energy blast without hesitation. He looked over his shoulder at me before kneeling down next to me. "You okay Kiela?" He asked me.
I looked at him and smiled, hiding the pain the best I could. "Yeah, I'm fine." I lied, I didn't want him to worry about me right now.
He smiled in relief. "Good. I was worried that he might've hurt you."
I shook my head slowly. "Nope, I'm good."
He nodded. "Okay, well come on, the others are waiting for us." He said as he started to fly.
I looked up at him and nodded. "Right behind you." I said before flying after him, trying to ignore all the pain that was shooting through my body.
I really hoped I could hold out until we reached the spaceship, but judging by how blurry my vision was and how lightheaded I felt, I doubted that was gonna happen. And after a minute or two of flying, I couldn't take the pain anymore as darkness started to take over and I eventually started to fall towards the ground far below.
A/N: Uh-oh... Do you think Trunks will see her? Or do you think she'll crash into the ground way below? You'll have to wait for the next chapter to find out. The good news is that Ryzer is finally dead for good! Also, we're getting pretty close to the end of Shadows of the Deep, just a few more chapters. I'll post the next chapter tomorrow!
