Chapter III: More Questions than Answers
"KNOCK KNOCK!"
"COMING!"
"KNOCK!"
"Gee, I'm coming already…" yelled Ryu as he proceeded to the door. He opened the door, and sees Rei and Momo right in front of him.
"Hey, bro what's up?" asked Rei warmly. Rei always considered Ryu a younger brother, even after they split up.
"It going okay, although things are getting pretty weird these days. First, the people of Dragonier tells me that something bad is going to happen then all the sudden…" before Ryu can finish, he sees Momo taking out her cannon aiming at Chaos,
"Watch out, Ryu! A Dark Dragon!" exclaimed Momo.
"Nooooo, wait! He's not a Dark Dragon!" yelled Nina, grabbing hold of Momo.
"Sit down," instructed Ryu. "I'll explain everything…"
It took a while, but Ryu was finally able to explain everything to Momo and Rei. While Rei took the info quite well, Momo wasn't too convinced…
"You hardly even KNOW the person... how do you know he can be trusted? What if he's an assassin? Or a spy? You know one of your problems, Nina, is that you're FAR too trusting," exclaimed Momo.
Finally, with some convincing, Momo was able to cool down… while everyone was talking about how it been since the last gathering of the four, Rei piped up.
"Ryu, when Momo and I were on our way here, a cheetah attacked us…" Rei began…
"WHAT?!? Cheetahs are tame! They never attacked people before," exclaimed Ryu.
"Yes, that's why I'm baffled. Does this happen to have anything to do with that 'bad Karma' your people have been talking about? I have this real bad feeling that something has gone really wrong here," Rei replied.
"Hmmm… I might know the person that can help us." Piped up the quiet Chaos, everyone was quite surprised since Chaos seldom said anything unless someone asks him.
"Who?" Ryu responded.
"Well, an elder... I met him while I was with my first master, he has a keen sense of magic…that how he convinced me that I had great potential as a familiar…but he never answered directly. You need to guess what he says most of the time because he thinks that if you're not smart enough to solve his 'riddles', it's not worth his time." said Chaos.
"How can we be sure that we can understand him?" asked Nina.
"Then it will be our job to understand him," said Chaos.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's GO!" yelled Rei. Ryu smiled. Rei was always like this; he has the sprit but sometimes he just doesn't use his brain enough.
"Wait a minute here, we don't even know where it is yet, speaking of which how do we get there Chaos?" asked Momo.
"Hmmm… I usually fly there, but considering that not all of you can fly that out of the question… but it's somewhere in the eastern side of the desert. It's gonna be a long trip if we try to walk, but we should be able to get there," Chaos replied.
"Why don't you two stay here for the day. We'll start tomorrow." Ryu said.
Everyone agreed, and proceeded to prepare for the long journey ahead.
That night… in Nina and Ryu's room.
"Those were your friends?" asked Chao,s while Nina and Ryu were busy packing their things.
"Yea, they helped us on our quest 10 years ago. Why... what's wrong, Chaos?" Nina asked.
" Nothing…that rabbit…doesn't trust me at all, does she master?" Chaos asked.
"Give her some time… we've had bad experiences with dragons so…" Nina replied.
"Speaking of which, I don't think Ryu trusts me either." Chaos telepathically told Nina and only Nina.
"Well… I don't know you're going to have to earn your trust here, Chaos." Whispered Nina.
"Okay, anyway… goodnight, master," Chaos said.
"Goodnight," Nina replied.
With that Chaos fell asleep on the floor right beside Nina and Ryu's bed. Soon after they joined him also.
The next day…
"Is everyone ready?" yelled Rei.
"Yea…" replied Ryu, as he finished packing the rest of his stuff, as well as the rest of the group. Then they proceeded toward the Desert of Death for the second time…
"This place brings back memories…" Momo said, softly.
"Yes, it does doesn't it?" Ryu replied "I still remember the good ol days when we were still looking for Myria."
Suddenly, a cloaked knight disturbed their trip. Since his whole face was covered with a scarf, no one could see his facial expression really well, although that didn't affect his evil glow. He slowly pulled out his weapon.
"My, my, my, now isn't this a surprise? Our little heroes are here… ooo… so is Chaos... Oh, Chaos…why did you betray our master? You know he won't be happy to see who you sided with…" he said with his dangerous voice.
"What!! Who are you!? How do you know about Chaos!? Why are you here!?" demanded Nina.
"Someone's impatient…" he said. "Perhaps Chaos there knows the answers more than me…"
"Chaos, what is going on here..:" Ryu said.
"It's my previous master's pet… looks like my master isn't that pleased of me leaving. Alright, Deilva leave them outta this, its between you and me." growled Chaos.
"HAHAHA! Stop trying to be a hero, Chaos…it won't do you any good," yelled Deilva, as he threw a black magic ball at him.
The powerful spell speed though the desert, and quickly made its way toward Chaos… but much to Deilva's dismay, Chaos easily blocked it off with one quick swipe of his claw.
"What's wrong, Deilva?" sneered Chaos. "Looks like you're slacking off in your training again… that was utterly pathetic."
"I was just getting warmed up, Chaos." Deilva said. "Try to block this!!" With that he swung his long blade…shooting a projectile straight at Chaos…
