Ch 54: Lost is found
Jade shot back from the cage with a look of pure horror on her face.
"What the heck is wrong with you?!" Leon said.
"I-i-in th-the cage..." She said trying to calm her mind.
"I told you not to look in them." Leon said placing the charges on the generator.
After a few seconds Jade drew her sword and cut the lock.
"What the heck are you going?!" Lillystone yelled.
Jade said nothing and opened the steel door. Inside, suspended above the floor by chains was a young Latias. She was battered and had numerous cuts on her body. As it it wasn't bad enough she was chained so tightly that there was no way she could move and her wings, her wings were drooped across her back, she looked like she was dead.
"No way..." Arcaneina said.
Jade wasted no time and cut the Latias free, she could tell right away both of her wings were shattered.
"How could anyone do something like this." She said as she ran her fingers across the top of her head.
As she did this the Latias let out a pained groan.
"Shes alive!" Jade yelled. "Guys keep me covered, I am going to try and bring her around."
"Got got it sis." Leon said. "You heard her, keep a look out!"
The team spread out as Jade contacted her mom and dad. "Guys we got a big problem."
"Whats going on Jade?" Latias asked.
"I got a Latias here," She said. "She is messed up really bad. Shes alive but only just. What do I do?"
Latias lets out a muffled curse. "Heal her major wounds, any to the head, neck, back, chest and belly must be taken care of. Take the ones that are the worse first and then do what you can after. Don't try and heal her all the way or you will drain yourself. We will help as soon as we meet up."
"OK mom." Jade said and begins healing a deep gash on the side of the Latias's head. "Guys go ahead without me. I will be fine, finish the mission for me."
"No can do Jade." Goruden said. "Were staying."
"Thats an order!" Jade said. "You maybe older but I am still in charge, now go!"
"You heard her," Leon said. "Move out! Sis if things get rough-"
"I have Crystara for backup." Jade said. "I will be fine."
With that Jade continued to heal the Latias but her mind was buzzing with questions.
"Could this be her," She though. "Or could Sabera be somewhere else in here?"
Jade continued healing as explosions rocked the ship as the others took out the generators. This continued for close to two hours when the Latias in Jade's arms began to move. She didn't open her eyes but spoke. "Who's there?"
"Shh, save your energy." Jade said as she continued healing her. "My name is Jade, I am here to help you."
At that moment she opened her eyes revealed their deep blue color. "You came for me."
"Your Sabera aren't you." Jade said.
"I am," she said hugging Jade. " thank you for setting me free."
"I couldn't just leave you here to die." Jade said as she continued to heal her. "Rest now, I will protect you."
Sabera nodded and quickly fell asleep, her body still drained of energy.
"You should save your energy Jade." Crystara said and began giving her her own energy. "Use mine, I have more then enough."
The hours seamed to pass like they were years as she began the painstaking process of trying to rebuild Sabera's shattered wings. "It's like they were crushed between two big rocks, It's horrible."
"No one should have to suffer like this." Crystara said watching through Jade's eyes. "She must have been her for a few months."
"I think they were trying to break her spirit or something." Jade said. "So they could use her to their own ends."
"She must have a strong spirit." Crystara said. "It takes a strong will to resist something as bad as having your wings shattered."
"I couldn't imagine the pain that would cause." Jade said.
After another hour Jade was nowhere close to fixing the first wing when the others came back.
"How is she?" Leon asked.
"She woke up for a time and I talked to her before she went back to sleep." Jade said. "Her wings are shattered beyond belief. I am working on them but it's going to take a few days."
"I can help if you want." Leon said.
"No," Jade said. "It's complected but I have to be the one to heal her. A few days ago she called out to me for help in a dream, I am the one who will heal her."
"OK then sis." Leon said. "We better get to the main hall. The others will be waiting for us soon."
"Right." Jade said and carefully picked up Sabera, heading off with the group.

Jade: (smiles) Sabera is a part of the story now.
Guard: Here is what I have planned for later. (Hands her some papers)
Jade: I think I can work with this.
Guard: Good, now get some rest, healing Sabera is going to take a lot of energy you know.
Jade: Yea I better. (Teleports away)
