Chapter 11. Sakura's Dream
Sakura bolted
back to the base (also known now as Li's house) with a determined look on her
face. "If Chaos is too dense to see it, I'll make him see it!" she
thought to herself.
Back at the house…
"CHAOS!!" Sakura
yelled. "WE GOT TO TALK!!" No reply. "Your really asking for it today aren't
you Chaos." She thought to herself angrily. She closed her eyes and
concentrated; Chaos aura isn't all that hard to pick up…
"So, there
you are…" Sakura said as she rolled into the back yard letting her senses guide
her. "So, tell me what did you say to Void? I haven't seen such a happy person
so sad before in my life!"
Chaos turned
around from where he was looking, Sakura gasped as she looked into two lost
eyes of the dragon.
"By Ladon!"
Sakura gasped as she noticed she had never used that name before, could it be
that her hidden traits are being awakened? She didn't have time for that now.
"You really are clueless aren't you Chaos." She asked.
"Yes, what
was your first clue?" Chaos said sarcastically, then he caught himself. "I'm
sorry…" he apologized, then he laughed bitterly. "You would think that a
killing machine would be void of all emotions, guess my creators were wrong
huh." He ranted unaware of his slip.
Sakura
gasped. What in the world was this dragon talking about? Created? Her eyes
narrowed, her wings twitched nervously in habit. "What are you talking about,
Chaos?" she questioned.
"Ahh…bad
habit of mine…" Chaos said, chuckling darkly. "either I don't talk at all or I
talk too much, I done it again didn't I. Yes, Sakura I was created, not born. I
have no father or mother, only my creators who insisted on making me a killing
machine."
Sakura cannot
believe her ears. "Does Void…" she began.
"Does she
know about this? No…" Chaos said quietly.
"Then how…"
Sakura was in serious doubt, although Chaos kidnapping her the first time they
met didn't make a very good impression on her, but over time she has grown fond
of the chaotic dragon, more or less that is.
"How did I
become 'kind'?" Chaos said as if reading Sakura's mind. "Long story, but to
make it short someone showed me the way." He laughed bitterly again. "Who would
have thought? They wanted to create the ultimate dark dragon, but ended up
creating something neither dark nor light. Such irony!" he was laughing, but
Sakura knew deep down he was in deep sorrow. Sakura felt sorry for him,
wondering what she could do.
"Chaos,"
Sakura began. "I think you should have a talk with Void, she will understand."
She said as she walked away.
That was
enough for Chaos to understand what she was suggesting. He sighed and went
looking for Void.
* * *
In Li and Sakura's room…
Sakura plopped down on her bed, she was feeling very sleepy after all the recent events. She looked over to her side just to see that Li was already asleep. She smiled to herself, blushing uncontrollably.
"For some reason, I feel very sleepy today…oh well, I guess it won't hurt by
taking a nap." So she closed her eyes and fell asleep.
***Sakura's Dream***
Sakura opened her eyes, she looked at her surroundings and found it very unfamiliar. It looked like she was in a forest, but it didn't look like any of those she seen in Japan. She examined her surroundings a little more, but nothing looked even slightly familiar.
"SAKURA!!" A more than familiar voice called suddenly.
She didn't even have to look to know whose voice that was. "LI!!" She responded, while she turned around.
"Where are we?" Li asked.
"I have no idea." Sakura admitted.
"Well, no sense in staying around." Li said. "Let's see if we can find out what's going on here."
Suddenly, out of nowhere, a blue haired figure popped out, accompanied by a girl with wings. They seemed to be in a hurry somewhere, as they speed across the forest.
"Why don't we ask those two?" Sakura suggested pointing at the two figures. Li nodded, they ran after the two figures.
The blue haired boy stopped at an alter. The girl also proceeded by the boy's side.
"Who are they?" Li asked confused.
"I don't know." Sakura said again.
"Are you sure this is the right place, Ryu?" The winged girl asked.
"I'm positive, Nina…" The guy responded.
Sakura gasped, that those names sounded so familiar where
has she heard it before? "That's it!!" she exclaimed. "My father said
I was a descendent of Nina of Wyndia. With wings like that it has to be her!
The other must be the blue haired hero in father's story!"
Li also knew who those figures were. "Sakura, are those who I think they are?" he asked. Sakura nodded.
"Where is he then?" Nina asked.
"I don't know." Ryu responded.
Suddenly out of nowhere a silver haired man appeared. He smiled sinisterly. "So, you came Ryu…" he said.
Ryu growled deeply. "What do you want, Monryuu?" as he drew a long katana.
"Oh, are we ever so touchy…" The silver haired man laughed. "What makes you think I want anything?"
"Knowing you, you probably do want something." The Nina replied, taking out a staff.
The man didn't reply instead he charged his fist with energy and a sword made out of pure energy formed. He grinned evilly "You know how much money and fame I will gain if I kill you two?" With that he attacked.
Ryu was ready though, he blocked blow after blow, Nina looked at the pair of fighting dragons, eyes wide with surprise. "I better help Ryu…" she thought to herself. She readied her staff and attacked…
Now the dark dragon was fighting two people at once… even so he showed no sign of fear, he still attack and defended in an orderly fashion.
Sakura and Li stood there dumbfounded, until Sakura brought up a good point…
"Li don't you think those people look like us?" she asked.
"Now, that you mentioned it, yes they do look like us…" Li trailed off.
After a few rounds, the dark dragon was loosing his patience. "ENOUGH!!" he yelled. He did a back flip to evade both of the heroes attack. He let out a evil grin as he gathered energy… "AHHHHHH!!" He yelled, as he released the energy.
Instead of the silver haired man, there was a huge dark dragon, looking down at the two heroes with menacing eyes. Ryu and Nina stepped back.
The dark dragon screeched.
Ryu ran in front of Nina defensively, as he plugged his katana into the ground and gathered energy himself, with a howl, he to has ascended as dragon. The two dragon glared at each other none conceding one bit.
Sakura had this sudden urge to help the two heroes, but for some reason she couldn't move a muscle. All she could do was see what happens next…
Then…
* * *
Sakura woke up abruptly. She yawned, "I was dreaming??" she thought to herself. "But it felt soo real…and I had to wake up before it ended." She yawned, and glanced over at where Li was sleeping, coincidentally he was wide-awake too.
Li looked at Sakura wryly. "What's wrong Sakura? It looks like you seen a ghost."
"Nah, just a weird dream, why do weird dreams always come to me??" Sakura whimpered.
"Speaking of dreams…I had a weird one too…" Li said.
"You first." She replied, sitting up and stretching her wings.
"Getting used to having wings eh?" Li said jokily. "I dreamt of seeing the destined heroes in your dad's story…oh what was weird was that you were in it too…"
Sakura let out a gasp of surprise. "And the two heroes were fighting this gray haired guy right?"
Li was defiantly freaked now, sure he knew about Sakura's foretelling dreams but he never got them…
"So, it wasn't you being a 'part' of my dream…it was you and me SHARING a dream!" Li exclaimed.
"This is just too weird…" Sakura replied. "I wonder what it means, we better consult Kero or Void about this…"
"Yes we should." Li agreed.
On the roof of the house…
A figure stood there, with his wings extended, holding two magical artifacts in his hand. One he heard what he wanted to hear he let out a smile. After that he scribbled a message, attached it on his arrow and shot it inside the house. Satisfied with the flow of the events he lifted himself away.
* * *
Tomoyo, Eriol and Touya has just returned from they're 'food' run. Eriol and Tomoyo were happily chatting while poor Touya was carrying all the groceries.
When they got back, they reported to Li and Sakura that they brought enough food to last them about a month, Li did an inventory check to see what kind of stuff he can dig out to help the mission. While he was doing that Eriol pulled Tomoyo to the back yard…
"Tomoyo…" Eriol said in a concerned tone "Things are getting tense…" he continued as he held out his hand. "I think it would be best if we start teaching you some stuff about defending yourself." A long steel 'stick' like thing materialized into Eriol hand. Tomoyo looked at the 'stick' with a baffled look on her face, Eriol laughed lightly as if he could read Tomoyo mind. With a quick shake of his hand a beautiful fan appeared. Tomoyo gasped in surprise…
"A fan?" Tomoyo asked puzzled.
Eroil chuckled again. "Yes, Tomoyo a fan…in the right hands this weapon can be very dangerous…plus it boosts up magic power so it would be perfect for you." He explained, as he pointed at a branch of a tree. Then without warning with a quick slice Eriol slashed at the branch, the branch fell off. Tomoyo looked in surprise, it was a very clean slice…
"Wow…" Tomoyo exclaimed.
"Here…" Eriol offered as he handed her the fan. "You try."
Tomoyo took the fan, she opened it slowly, and then sliced at a different branch…
THUD! The fan hit the branch but didn't penetrate; instead it got stuck in the wood. Tomoyo sweated in embarrassment.
"Don't worry…" Eriol said smiling warmly. "Void put us together for a reason…I'll teach you how to use that fan a little more…here, hold it like this." Eriol said as he demonstrated.
"Like this?" Tomoyo asked as she tried to imitate Eriol's hand motion.
"Close but lock your thumb up like this…" Eriol instructed.
Tomoyo nodded, she never used a weapon before, but the lightweight fan slowly seemed very handy for her. She slowly got the hang of it, and was able to slice a branch cleanly off the tree.
"Well, that's all for today…you did great Tomoyo!" Eriol said happily.
"Thanks but you're a good teacher." Tomoyo smiled brightly.
They both laughed as they went back into the house.
* * *
Chaos was getting worried, he had searched quite a while
for Void, but she was nowhere in sight. "I will not go back on my word." Chaos
thought to himself, he frowned he wasn't sure if the thing he felt for Void was
love or not, nevertheless seeing Void like that crushed his heart. "Heart??"
he asked himself. "I not supposed to have one…"
**Flashback**
(Chaos POV)
I was laying on a alter of some sort, I did not know where I was or what was happening. I wanted to open my eyes but I couldn't. There were a few voices in the background, they were talking but I couldn't make out the things they were saying. A bolt of dark magic hit me, I wanted to cry out in pain but I couldn't…the bolt however gave me enough energy to open my eyes. I slowly opened my eyes…
"Look it's awake…" a Necromancer said letting out a grin.
"Yesss" a dangerous voice said in the background.
I looked around the room were full of necromancers, Liches and fallen angels, though there was one creature caught my eye. It had big wings and long sharp claws, there were horns on his long sleek face.
"Are you sure this thing won't show any mercy in the battlefield?" It boomed loudly.
"Thing? Is that what I am?" I thought to myself, my eyes glow with confusion.
"I'm positive, it doesn't have a soul to begin with, why would it show mercy?" A fallen angel said.
I tried to speak, but found myself void for words. "No soul? What is that??"
"Good, I want it ready for battle as soon as possible…" the dark figure replied.
* * * End Flashback
Chaos shook his head…he had no time to think about what his flashback meant this time. He had more important things to worry about. "He doesn't have a soul…" For some reason that sentence was engraved in his mind.
Suddenly, a blast of magic exploded nearby…the aura of the spells carried to where Chaos was floating. "That's Void!" Chaos exclaimed. "Her aura feels weak…oh no…!" Chaos cured himself for being so slow. Without another pause he rushed to where he felt the aura.
* * *
Void was gasping for air, she hasn't counted on the enemy being so tough…and she hasn't fought a real fight for awhile.
"Give it up, Void. You can't beat me." The dark dragon replied, he was still standing not even breaking sweat. "Your not as powerful as you used to be." He grinned as he held his weapon up high. "Without the power Holy…you are hopeless before us." He laughed evilly.
Void gasped. She wiped her blood that was trickling from her mouth. "Ho…w d…o… y…ou know??" She asked as she caught her breath.
"How do I know??" The dark dragon laughed. "Is it that important, Void? Or shall I say YLSA?" He asked as he tapped his sword on the dragoness' shoulder.
Void narrowed her eyes, she clenched her claws into fists. "How do you know?" she demanded.
The dragon laughed again. Void was beginning to hate the sound of that laughter. "Oh, are we demanding today. You know Ylsa your in no position to bargain actually, but since I'm feeling generous today, I will tell you under one condition…" he said holding the sword firmly on Void shoulder.
"Which is?" Void looked up at the dragon.
"You must surrender yourself to us, and serve under us." The dragon replied.
Ylsa looked at him as if to say "You got to be kidding."
"Never…" Ylsa said firmly. "I would rather die than to serve you." She said not showing signs fear.
The dragon was very angered at this. "I gave you a chance and passed it up, now you shall die before my blade. Goodbye, Ylsa…" The dragon lifted his sword up high, and sent it crashing down. Void waited for the moment to come. "Forgive me, Chaos…" she thought to herself. "I wish we could of spent more time with you…"
The blade crashed down…the moment Void feared has come…but for some reason she didn't feel any pain. She opened her eyes she was still alive!!! The sword had been broken in two…
"Leave my sis alone before you live to regret it." A voice in the darkness found it way to the dragon.
"Chaos??" Void exclaimed in surprise.
The enemy looked at his broken sword, he shrugged as he threw it away. "This is
getting interesting." He said as he pulled out another. "If you are man enough
you would come out from your hiding, you dumb dragon…"
Chaos leaped from the darkness…he blue eyes were glowing from anger. He stood in front of Void, indicating that as long as he was there he would not let the enemy touch even the slightest cell of hers. He looked at his enemy, he gasped.
"Fuangi…" was all he could manage to say.
