Enjoy the fic!
Chaos organized his plans one last time, "Weird" he thought to himself. "I have planned and done many things, this isn't something new to me, but yet why am I so uneasy?" Finally, he shook off all his fears and flew closer to Sakura's house.
In Sakura's house…
The group just finished a filling dinner, they were all in the living room, discussing about they're training and future plans…
"You mean Li tied with you in a duel, Dad?" Sakura said, obviously surprised. "Wow! I'm impressed."
"Yea…" The guardian replied. "He'll make a fine warrior some day."
"So…how did Kero do? Flunked a lot I suppose?" Void said giggling.
"HEY!" Kero said turning red, "I did not flunk. I did pretty well actually."
"Yea…" Void replied. "Good compared to a 2 year old right?"
"SHUT UP!!" Kero yelled.
"I'm only joking, Kero." Void said. "Take it easy."
"Kero did surprisingly well…actually." Fujitaka said.
"That's good." Void said smiling.
"How about your team, Void? How is they're training going?" Fujitaka said.
"Well…they are improving very fast, I'll say that much, but they are still far from prepared for what lays ahead of them though."
"Then you better hurry, we are running out of time…" Fujitaka said.
"Yes sir…I…" Void stopped.
"What's wrong…" Sakura asked.
"EVERYONE, GET DOWN!!" Void yelled.
Just as everyone got down…a blast of energy blew the door open. As Chaos flew in…
"No…it can't be…" Fujitaka exclaimed.
"Who are you?" Sakura said.
"Oh, by Ladon's name…" Void said stunned.
"Get back, Sakura, it was this dragon who put the curse on us." Fujitaka said, standing in front of Sakura, guarding her closely. To Chaos he said, "Get out!! You aren't welcome here! And you are not going to hurt anyone."
Chaos said nothing; he flew closer to the group.
"Not another step." Fujitaka said summoning his spear.
Chaos didn't seem to be acknowledging the warning instead he just kept on moving…Fujitaka, Li, Kero and Void stood around the dragon…
"Okay you asked for it…" Fujitaka said, giving everyone the signal to attack, with that everyone else jumped in; Fujitaka rushed the dragon spinning his spear menacing, while the others followed…they all attacked at once…
But they're attacks didn't reach…it was just an illusion.
"It's a trap!!" Tomoyo yelled.
"OH ^%*^!!" Fujitaka shouted.
They all scrambled to they're senses and checked around to see what was missing, they didn't notice anything big missing until…
"Anyone seen Sakura around?" Li asked.
"She WAS right behind us…" Tomoyo replied.
"Don't tell me…" Fujitaka gasped.
"Aaaah…CRAP!" Kero yelled.
Void was silent. She was bothered by something, as anyone could tell, but everyone was busy searching for Sakura…
"She's gone…" Void said quietly, unable to keep back her tears… "He took her."
"Wait…your telling me that that dragon used that as a diversion and with that few seconds of time took Sakura?? No way!! No one is THAT fast." Li said.
"You don't know Chaos as well as I do…" Void whispered.
"WHAT?? YOU MEAN YOU KNOW HIM?" Kero said.
"Yes…" Void replied quietly. "But…"
"But what Void?" Tomoyo said.
"He's supposed to be dead…" she whispered.
"WHAT?" Fujitaka said.
"Well…let me tell you a story…" Void started…
* * *
Same time… Place unknown (at least to Sakura)
Sakura groaned…she shook her head a few times to clear her head…she sat up, and saw Chaos, she gasped…
"Ahh…so you're awake, looks like the sleep spell wore off…" Chaos said quietly.
"Uhh" Sakura groans, as she looks around. "Who are you?" she asks in a sleepy tone.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to hurt you…" the dragon replied. "I don't have a name, but people call me Chaos anyways."
"You're the rogue dragon that put the curse on the destiny children?" Sakura asked a little pissed off.
"Yes…" the dragon replied sadly. "It was I, but it was broken, so there is nothing that you guys need to worry about…"
"Huh?" Sakura said confused.
"General rule of curses, every curse can be broken. In you case, it has already been broken." He replied. "When the dragon of light forgives the dragon of dark the curse will be lifted."
"I don't understand…" Sakura replied.
"Allow me to tell you a story then…" Chaos replied. Little did they know Void was telling the same story…
The Story…(Chaos P.O.V.)
When I was still a young whelp, I went to this magic school with the other whelps. I can still remember the first day of school and my first friend…
"Hey!" A voice behind me called out. I turned back… and saw this female white whelp.
"Hey" She called again…catching up to me.
"Yes?" I said.
"I'm sorry, I'm new around here. You know where I can find the local magic school?" she said smiling.
"Uh…yea sure, why don't I take you there, I'm going there myself." I said.
"Oh, thank you!" She replied happily.
I smiled; the whelp had an unknown effect on me, like her cheerfulness was contagious. When we reached school…
"Thank you, again errr…" she said.
"Chaos," I replied. "And your name is?"
"Ylsa…" She replied with a smile. "Thanks again!"
She took off with that, I never forgot that smile, to my surprise though we took exactly the same classes. We got to know each other better as time passed, soon enough I began calling her 'sister' since she was like an older sister to me. After we both graduated, we went in to the same job to…
Anyways, to making the long story short, I was a happy dragon until one day…
"Sis! I'm home!!" I yelled. No answer. "Weird…" I thought. "Ylsa said she was going to stay home today…" I went on and looked around the house a little more, but no avail. Soon, I just gave up and decided that she might of just went out to pick up some food or something. I plopped down on the couch continuing the magic experiment that we were working on.
Before I knew it, it was already midnight, and she still wasn't home… I was really worried now it wasn't like her to be out late. I decided to look in her room see what I could find there…
I didn't find her, but I did find a note, "How did I manage to miss this?" I thought to myself, without ado I read the message…
To Whom it may concern:
I stopped for a moment… I knew something was wrong now, Ylsa would NEVER leave a message that starts out like that.
We've got the dragoness, give back what is rightfully ours and no one gets hurt. Meet us at the mountain near Tuland tomorrow at 5:00 AM or she gets it!!!!!
Yours,
The Shadow Dragon Clan
P.S. I know your reading this Chaos! HAHAHAHAHA!!!
I crunched the paper with my claws, burning with anger within. Yes, I admit they're plan was flawless. It was obviously meant for my eyes, and they wanted me to meet them at 5 AM when help is hardest to find. They probably want revenge for what Ylsa and I did months ago: busted them. I looked at my clock, it was already one in the morning, I had to think of a plan and fast… When I finally came up with one it was already three in the morning, so I decided to take a little nap before it was time for me to unfold my plan.
Soon, I woke up…I looked at the time, four-thirty it read. "Hmmm…better get going." I grabbed the stuff they wanted and some other things I needed and headed out.
Four-Fifty At the appointed meeting place…
I got there a little early, "Good…" I thought to myself. "I have a little more time to prepare…"
After awhile, I saw two figures drew near…with a third in the middle, I knew it was them.
"Your early." I said eyes fixing on them, making sure they didn't hurt my sister.
"Well, so are you…" One replied.
"Do you have the stuff." The other said.
"Yes…and Ylsa isn't hurt is she, because if she is, you can count on me giving you the worst beating of your sorry lives."
"Oh…don't worry…" They said pushing Ylsa forward. "Give us the stuff."
"No…" Ylsa said weakly "You know what they can do if they get the hand on those stuff…"
"Give me my sister first, and I will only give these to you in one condition." I said.
"Which is?" One asked.
"You must let Ylsa go first, and let her out of the way, your fight with me not with her."
"How do we know that you will keep your promise?" The other asked.
"What makes you think I would be able to outrun two shadow dragons?" I asked hoping to make them overconfident, as they say, overconfidence can often be the biggest weakness of all time.
"True…fine deal." They said. Bingo! That wasn't too hard. They let Ylsa, she approached me.
"ARE YOU NUTS?" She whispered quietly, with a worried look in her eyes, I would never forget those eyes.
"Don't worry, sis…" I said trying to comfort her; she looked even more sad and worried. I gave her a note. "If I fail to come back take this…" I gave her my ring.
"Promise me that you will come back." She whispered.
"I'll try my best." I replied.
She looked at me one last time before turning back, what I didn't know was that she actually found a safe place that she could watch the events unfolding.
"Okay…" I said, "I believe these are yours…" I threw a bag of good toward them.
They didn't waste a moments time, they unwrapped the bag and took out its contents.
"HEY!!! WAIT A MINUTE!!!!" One exclaimed.
"THESE ARE FAKE!!" The other one shouted. They both turned to me angrily, unfortunately for them I was already ready.
"Hwa Dragon of Fire, Bring Dragon of Ice, P'ung Dragon of Wind, T'ou Dragon of Earth I pray to thee!!" I chanted.
*This is what Ylsa is thinking now… "No, Chaos…don't do it…don't use that sacred spell!"
I finished preparing for the spell, "Breath Of Fire!!!!!" I shouted, directing it to my enemies. A large flame in the shape of a dragon's head engulfed them immediately, leaving nothing in its trail. The fire died off, leaving no trace of the dragons that took the blow, I passed out shortly after.
I woke up a few days later, in my room. With Ylsa looking down at me with worried eyes.
"Oh…good your awake." She said happily.
"UUUgh." I moaned. "How long was I out?"
"About a week." She replied, with a relieved look. "Why did you use that forbidden spell?"
"It was a last resort, sis. After that I'm not sure if I want to use it again." I said rolling over.
"You took an great risk, but thank you Chaos." She said.
"You're my 'sister', I wasn't ready to let anything happen to you." I replied. "But right now I just so darn tired."
"That spell took a lot out of you." She replied.
* * *
After that, I eventually regained my strength back, but what we were unaware of is that there was another side effect of that spell… it slowly corrupts the user. We didn't notice that until it was too late… it soon got so bad that I went almost completely mad, I could control myself for a moment only, and with the last ounce of my sanity I did what needed to be done…
"Sis, I think it's best that I leave…" I whispered.
"I know…" She said unable to stop her tears.
"I'm so glad that I meet you, sis. I would never forget the times we had together…here take this…and please don't forget me." I gave her my ring (which she gave back to me after the incident.) and went off, unable to hold back my tears either.
"Forget you? Like I ever could…" Ylsa whispered.
To be continued…
End of Chapter 6.
