Chapter 4
Six months later they were still fighting against Oikawa's troops. This army of many nations lead by Kings Taichi, Ken and Yamato was now called the Three Mighty Kings by Oikawa's troops.
One night Hagard was thinking about all that had happened since she ran after them.
I wonder how Mimi's doing back home. Ever since they sent her back I've been wondering if this was a good idea. I hope this war is over before my baby is born. That's it, I have to tell them. She thought then snuck over to the Captain's tent.
The Kings were talking over battle strategies when Hagard entered.
"King Taichi, King Ken, I need to talk with you, privately." Hagard stated.
"Would you excuse us?" Taichi asked
"Sure." Yamato replied, as he left.
"What is it?" Ken questioned
"My name isn't truly Hagard. It is I, Hikari."
"We know."
"I didn't know it was going to take so long or I wouldn't have followed you. Especially now since I found out that I am with child."
At this Taichi and Ken stood dumbfounded by the weeping woman's words.
"What? You mean I'll be a father?"
"Yes, Ken. You'll be a father." She smiled as she dried her tears.
Yamato burst in. "Oikawa's attacking!" He screamed.
"What! At night? Especially one with no moon?" Taichi screamed above the chaos outside.
The four of them ran outside and came face to face with Oikawa himself.
"Ah, so these are the Three Mighty Kings of Digialtalan, how...amusing. And who is this?" Oikawa grabbed Hikari's face and pulling her close to him.
"Leave her alone!" Ken threatened, loosening his sword.
"Her?" Yamato asked
"Perfect." Oikawa growled grabbing her. "Arrh." He cried out as Hikari sunk her teeth into his hand so deeply that it bled.
Oikawa then flung her against a nearby pole, knocking her unconscious.
"You will pay for hurting my beloved!" Ken called out in rage as he charged him with his sword leading.
Oikawa merely knocked him into Taichi and Yamato.
"Pitiful creatures." He mumbled then headed towards Hikari.
She blinked her eyes open and saw the pale faced man coming at her. She searched for something that she could use to fend him off, but all she found was some jagged scraps of metal.
He was nearly close enough to grab her. She then whipped the metal pieces at his eyes. The metal shards dug and cut into the soft eyeballs, causing Oikawa to scream in utter pain as blood and liquid oozed out.
She took this chance to escape, and ran back to the Three Mighty Kings who were busy fighting. Looking back she saw Oikawa walking past the fires his troops had started, and his eyes were now bloody, eyeless sockets.
She looked back at the Three Mighty Kings and saw that they were fighting against Oikawa's troops. She saw that she was the only one who wasn't dead or fighting, and the blinded man was still coming at her.
Suddenly cold metal was pressed against her neck. Then she saw Miyako was the one holding the sword to her neck.
"Miyako, why?" Hikari choked out.
"I have to fight on the same side as my father, Oikawa." She answered
"I don't think so!" Daisuke said slicing off Miyako's head.
"You saved me. Why?" Hikari asked as the dead woman's body fell in a bloody heap.
"Because you inspired me to follow my heart, not orders. Besides, she killed my sister."
"Thanks. Now give me your sword. I must kill Oikawa."
"No, I'll do it." Daisuke said rushing with reckless abandon at the man.
He killed Oikawa with one stroke, but at the same moment something in a nearby tent exploded killing Daisuke as well.
