Chapter 2: A Shadow of Evil
Lantis followed Umi and Fuu closely. It had been several hours flying around.
Lantis mind was on Hikaru and who was the person who stole Hikaru's life energy. Soon
the reached Northern Cephiro. Lantis got off his horse and it returned into a vortex. Umi
and Fuu got out of there Rune Gods and had they're swords out. "I sense a dark presence
near by." said Lantis to Umi and Fuu. The walked carefully looking around for any signs
of a disturbance. Just then Lantis stopped walking and Umi and Fuu crashed into him.
"Why did you stop?" said Umi rubbing her head. The two peered over his
shoulder and saw a black diamond shaped gem. It had black lighting bolt type energy
going in and out of it. "Do we break it?" asked Fuu looking up at Lantis. Lantis took a
step forward to get a better look. "FLAME ARROW!" shouted a voice from inside the
gem. A long stream of fire came out of the gem. Lantis pushed the two out of the ways
and ducked. Then Nova came out of the gem. She laughed and pulled out her laser
blades. "Can't you ever give up!?" said Nova connecting the two blades. Lantis got up
and pulled out his sword. Nova flung them at him but he sent it flying back at her. Nova
caught her blades and ten took them apart.
"Why can't you mind your own business and get lost... Hikaru is going to be
mind!" she said glaring at Lantis. "That has not been determined!" said Fuu,
"EMERALD TYPHOON!" Nova blocked the attack and jumped and kicked Fuu strait in
the face. Umi caught her and set her down. She glared at Nova and then ran at her ready
to cut her to ribbons. Nova laughed and blocked all of Umi's attacks. She then flew into
the air and then disappeared back into the black gem. Lantis carefully followed her.
When he touched the black gem he began to sweat. It was getting hotter and hotter. He
closed his eyes for a moment and then opened them. When he opened them he was in a
another world surrounded by black fire. He was in Cephiro but in a another realm.
He looked and saw Umi and Fuu looking for Lantis. He could see them but they
couldn't. Just then he saw Nova sitting in midair holing a white energy ball. She laughed
and tossed it up and down. Lantis pulled out his sword and glared at Nova. She rubbed
one of her hands around the ball which became dead black. "Meet my master Lantis."
whispered Nova with an evil grin on her face. She let the black ball float in the air.
Suddenly a dark figure appeared out of the black energy ball. He had a black robes and
he long black hair. "Hello Lantis." he said sending a chill down his back.
Nova flew into his arms and hugged him. "Oh master I brought him... know you
can kill him and then Hikaru and I will be together!" He patted her head and then
whispered in ear and she left. When she was gone the shadow guy floated down to Lantis.
"My name is Zagato." he said. Lantis gasped and dropped his sword. "Yes, I have the
same name as your brother... but I'm not here to talk I'm here to kill you." he said
angrily. "Why?" he asked backing away and lifting his sword. "And why did you take
Hikaru's life?" The figure laughed and replied, "Because you don't love her." he said
with an evil grin.
* Castle Cephiro *
Eagle sat next to Hikaru who had gotten worse. Behind him was Geo and Zazu.
"Eagle are you sure you want to do this?" asked Geo connecting a patch to Eagle's head
and another to Hikaru's. "If you use to much you could go into a coma or die!" said Zazu
with a touch of fear in his voice. "I don't care Hikaru means everything in the world to
me and Lantis needs more time to get her life back." said Eagle sadly. He stroked her
pale cheek and then placed a few loose hairs behind her ear.
He then looked at Geo and Zazu. "Turn it on." he said. Geo slowly turned it on
and looked at Eagle. His head slowly went pale and Hikaru's face went less. Just then
there was a large blast and Geo and Zazu went flying. Then there stood Nova wants again
with her blades. Eagle suddenly felt weak. He fell to the ground and then the patch ell of
his head and he went unconscious. "Time to kill that blond weirdo." said Nova. "He's in
the way him and his love fore MY Hikaru."
