Ch 55: Paybacks a you know what

After traveling through the ship Jade and Leon's group met up with the others outside the central core. Ryan and Latias headed right to Jade.

"So this is the Latias." Ryan said.

"Yea," Jade answered back. "Please, she only trusts me. Don't try and touch her or anything like that."

"We will protect her but won't get too close to her." Latias said digging through her pack and pulling out a blanket. "You can place here here."

"Thanks mom." Jade said setting her down. "I am fighting the shadow 6 member."

"Like hell you-" Ryan started to say when Jade gave him a look that said she was going to fight then and there was no stopping her. "Just be careful."

"I will dad." Jade said and headed into the main core.

Once she was past the door a wall of wind shot up in front of it. Jade sensed this but continued into the central core. Inside was a figured wrapped in a cloak.

"Ah so you made it after all." The man said.

"Your the one who hurt Sabera so bad aren't you!" Jade said as she disengaged her armor revealing her human form.

"Maybe I am." The man said. " What are YOU going to do about it you little runt."

"RUNT!" Jade yelled and turned into her lati form. "No one calls me a runt!"

The figure just laughed and through his cloak off. Underneath was a bird like man covered in green and white feathers. He had wings on his back and his hands and feet were clawed and razor sharp. On his back was a bow.

"My name is Silvia but everyone calls me Arrow the air archer."

"An air person?" Jade said. "This is an earth base, I would have though the earth person or at least fire would have been here."

"Yea well Drago wanted me to be here for this attack." Arrow said.

"Who is Drago?" Jade asked.

"Ah out leader." Arrow said drawing his bow and drawing back the string. "What are you stupid."

"I should say the same to you." Jade said laughing. "What are you going to do shoot me with air?"

"Precisely the idea." Arrow said as an arrow of air appeared and shot out of the bow.

"Crap!" Jade yelled and reflected the arrow. "Got to watch that."

"Whats wrong little girl," Arrow said shoots more air arrows at her. "Are your afraid of me or something!"

"Hardly!" Jade said as she blocked all the shots.

Arrow laughed and shot a large arrow that shattered into ten smaller ones in mid air. Jade block all but one which grazed her right shoulder.

"Dang!" Jade said with a hiss.

At that moment Arrow took to the sky.

"AIR CUTTER!"

The whole room became a tornado and blades of air began to slice as Jade who tried to think of a way out. With some quick thinking she let loose a burst of crimson energy that knocked Arrow into the wall and broke the attack.

"Your a tricky one you are." Arrow said getting up. "This will be fun."

"The sword beats the arrow at close range." Jade said with a grin.

Before Arrow could get a word out Jade teleported in front of him and slices at Arrow who managed to dodge the bulk of the attack but Angelic Soul grazed his right shoulder putting a good sized gash on it.

"I forgot your a psychic type." Arrow said as the gash healed over in seconds. "This just makes things more interesting."

Jade teleported again but Arrow was ready and blocked both her blades with blades make out of somehow solid air.

"Not this time girly."

Arrow countered Jade's attack and landed a sharp hit on her left side as she landed one on his arm before they jumped back.

"Not bad." Jade said as Crystara healed her.

"I am going easy on you little girl." Arrow said. "Time to die!"

The two began to clash and despite Jade's training Arrow's pure strength was starting to get the better of her.

"Crystara I need your help!" Jade yelled.

"As you wish my vessel." Crystara said and began to let her energy flood into Jade causing her to enter her dragon form.

"So you want to play that way do you!" Arrow yelled and he began to change.

Arrows body began to shift and glow. The claws and wings on his body grew longer and stronger as he grew bigger. His beak grew longer and sharper and his eyes became those of a hawk. Right away Arrow begin to shoot arrows at Jade that were too fast for her to block and they began to cut into her. All the while Arrow was laughing.

"Time to die!" Arrow said and pulled out an arrow packed with a strange cylinder tip. "Good bye."

With thats Arrow shot the arrow at Jade that exploded on her knocking her into a wall and caused her major damage.

"It's over." Arrow said turning his back.

At that moment Jade drew one of her obsidian kuni and threw it nailing him in the spine. What followed was a horrible pained yell as every ounce of energy was drained from Arrow's body.

"You little bitch!" Arrow said weakly. "What did you do to me?!"

"I drained the energy out of your body." Jade said pulling the kuni back to her with a string attacked to it ripping it out of his back taking a big chunk of muscle and bone out with it. "And now I am going to use it to heal myself."

Arrow tried to get up but his spine was completely severed. Jade pulled the kuni and placed his hand on it and drew all the energy from it into her body healing her wounds.

"Now you die." Jade said picking her blades up.

"You can't do this to me!" Arrow roared. " I am Arrow the wind ar-"

Before Arrow could finish Jade sliced off his head and stabbed him in the heart to make sure he was dead.

"Dragon's fire!" Jade yelled and shot a beam of white and blue fire out of her mouth turning Arrow's body to dust, bones and all.

Once Arrow was gone the wind door disappeared and everyone but Leon rushed in who was staying to guard Sabera.

"I did it dad!" Jade yelled and hugged him.

"You did well my daughter." Ryan said. "I am proud of you."

"As am I." Latias said. "Now lets blow this place and get home."

After several minuets all the energy charges were set and everyone headed back into the outer hall. Jade headed over to Sabera and picked her up gently.

"I have avenged you Sabera." Jade said. "Arrow is dead."

Though she didn't wake up a slight smile appeared on her face.

"Lets get out of here."Ryan said and teleported everyone out of the ship. "Since the ship is in the lave I don't think we will be able to see it."

"That really stinks." Moltres said.

"Ah well," Zapdos said with a smile. "The base will still be dead."

With that Ryan crush the orb in his hand and deep under the surface there was an explosion as the base ship was destroyed.

"It's over now." Nala said turning to leave.

"Nala wait." Ryan said. "Where are you going?"

"I am not sure." Nala said sadly. "I am going to try and find myself."

"Be careful out there Nala." Latias said. "If you even need to rest, you know where to find us."

"You will always we welcomed in my home." Ryan said.

"Thanks guys," She said hugging them both. "I will keep that in mind. I think I am going to spend some time in Kanto for now."

"If you need anything just contact us and we will see what we can do." Latias said with a smile.

"I will guys, thanks again." Nala said and with that she headed off toward the nearest port.

"I better be off as well." Anna said. "I have to get to Joto now."

"We can give you a lift if you like." Zapdos said.

"Thanks for the offer, Zapdos." Anna said. "but I want to go it on my own."

"I can understand that." Moltres said.

"I will see you all later." Anna said and took off toward the Joto reign.

"Lets get home." Jade said holding Sabera. "I have a lot of work to do."

"Thats a good idea." Latias said and teleported everyone to the house.

As soon as they got to the house Jade went to her room and wrapped Sabera into a blanket and put her on the bed.

"So this is who you saw in your dream." Scale said.

"It is." Jade said.

"I have to say, shes kinda cute." He said with a smile and kisses Jade.

"Don't get any ideas." Jade said. "Well at least till shes healed."
