Fujitaka nodded "Long time no see, Sakura." He said as he held out his hand indicating he was unarmed.
Sakura glared at the fallen angel, she wanted to trust him…but so far he gave them no reason to. "So, DAD…what do you want?" she said.
Fujitaka glanced at Sakura, "I came here to explain what I'm doing. I know you have no reason to trust me.
Sakura held her staff tightly "Go for it…but if you make one wrong move…" she spun her staff around menacing to emphasize her point.
Fujitaka nodded and gulped "I never betrayed you guys in the first place…" he explained, Sakura eyes widened…
"Wha…t?" she exclaimed stuttering "Give me two good reasons to believe you." She twitched her big white wings nervously.
Fujitaka smiled understandably "I was hired by Bahamut he gave me a job…that is to find all the destined ones. I gladly accepted." He said as he offered Sakura a seat and sat down besides her. "I knew that you and Tomoyo were one of them…soon after I met Li I wasn't too sure though. I knew Yukito and Eriol were one too. It was just Li that had me very baffled." He paused.
Sakura nodded "So, how does this explain why you tried to kill us all."
"I'm getting there, Sakura…" He said impatiently. "Anyways, I needed to find out fast when Void and Chaos arrived I knew it was Bahamut's way of saying hurry up. So, I decided to put on that act just to make sure… since a few actions he did confirmed my suspicions, when we were dueling he did a move that I only seen dragons do, and some other facts. So, I decided to use my act to make sure."
"But why pretend you were the bad guy?" Sakura asked. "Wasn't there an easier way."
"Well…it was actually all part of Chaos' plan…" He said. "This was one way to make my able to infiltrate the enemies base. I was also to gather information…once I was done…I was to make my way back."
Sakura gasped in surprise "You knew Chaos even before this?"
"Yes, he suggested to bring up the curse on purpose to make my job easier… and make my 'surrender' to the enemy a little more believable…" he said.
"So…this was all a set up?" She asked angrily "You mean I was getting worried and sad about nothing?"
Fujitaka nodded "I'm sorry, Sakura. I really am but we all thought this was the best way to approach things. Can you ever forgive us?"
***At the same time…
Five creatures were lurking in the darkness…
"Fujitaka is a traitor…" The first one said.
"Yesss…" The second hissed. "It seems so…what shall we do now?"
"We should report back as soon as possible…the lord would want to know about this as soon as possible." The third on instructed.
"No…" The first one said. "If we capture them then we will be praised by the boss, and get a promotion too…"
"It's too dangerous, Fujitaka and Sakura are both very powerful, it would be wise not to underestimate them…" the third one explained.
"We out number them so we have the upper hand, what is there to worry about?" The first one said angrily.
"Still we have to remember Chaos is in they're group…he used to come up with our strategies, they probably are prepared." The third one explained again worried.
"Augh!" The first one yelled quietly. "How about this? We'll split in to two teams those who want to follow me, and those who wants to follow you…"
"Fine by me…friends make the right decision and follow me…" The third guy said.
The creatures scrambled by the first creature…none of them were willing to follow the third guy.
"Coward!" One of them mocked.
"Yea! We don't need cowards in our group!" The other backed up.
"Fine…" The third guy sighed "Don't come crying home when they beat you up…" With that he left.
***Same time other area…
"Hey!" Ylsa whispered. "Li…do you see what I see?" as she pointed at the shadows that were behind the two talking Wyndians.
Li looked at where Ylsa was pointed and nodded… "Fujitaka you bastered!" He whispered strongly.
"Shh…!" Ylsa warned "That's not important now…the most important is to make sure that Sakura is save."
Li nodded in agreement and drew out his sword slowly. "Well…what's the plan then?"
Ylsa shrugged "They're in no real danger yet…but once there is real danger present we will go out and fight."
Li gave an okay signal.
***Back to the conversation…
"I don't know if I can, father…" Sakura said sadly.
"So, you still call me father, although what I have done…Sakura…" He began. "Please understand that it was the only way."
"NO! It wasn't the only way…you are selfish, and so is Chaos!" Sakura yelled.
Fujitaka nodded "Maybe so, but believe me when I say this, we all care about you a great deal…" he said tears forming his eyes.
Sakura glared at Fujitaka "I can't believe this…" she began…
She didn't have time to finish when four creatures charged out of they're hiding…
"Dad! I can't believe you!!" Sakura screamed. "You tricked me into this place so you can capture me??"
"Damn! I been followed!" Fujitaka cussed. "Sakura…it's not what it seems…"
Sakura readied her weapon "What do you guys want?"
The leader sneered "We're here to capture you and the traitor Fujitaka…"
Sakura gasped "I'm sorry for doubting you dad…" she said quietly.
Fujitaka shook his head gently while he drew his weapon "You had every right to…" he muttered "But right now it seems like we have a little more important business to take care of…"
"You guys want to fight?" The leader laughed. "Your outnumbered, Fujitaka…give up and we'll make sure we won't punish you…too harshly."
Suddenly, a voice came from nowhere…
"Correction…we're NOT out numbered…actually we're even…"
"Who's there!!" A creature growled.
Li and Ylsa stepped out from where they were hiding…
"So…Chaos did have a plan, he hasn't changed much has he?" Fujitaka said drawing his weapon "Is he still mischievous as usual?" He asked Sakura.
"I would gladly tell you…father" Sakura said dodging a hit and counter attacking… "After we take care of business here…"
A fierce battle commenced…after a few rounds Fujitaka thrust his spear right into the creatures core…the creature howled loudly as he disappeared into nothingness.
Ylsa also finished off the attack pretty quickly…with her original powers back she found it really easy to defeat an enemy… "Didn't even break sweat." She said plainly.
Li had a little trouble with his opponent but eventually he faked a move and then followed it up with a real slice, eliminating his opponent.
Sakura on the other hand was having a little trouble. She hasn't recovered from overworking and was retreating slowly…blocking each enemy hit carefully…she was losing ground fast, she was more of a magic type then a fighting, the enemy was slowly gaining the upper hand…
Li looked in terror he knew that Sakura wasn't going to last for much longer…and they were too far to help her… "Now what??" he asked himself…
Flashback…
"Li…about turning into dragons…" Void started.
"Dragons?" Li asked in confusion.
"Yes…dragons, although you might not know it…you are a dragon, Li…" Ylsa continued. "And judging by the aura you have on you…you have the ability to change into different types of dragons…" "Just like Ryu…" she thought to herself. "Different dragons have different abilities…Fire dragons are known for destruction, Water for they're healing abilities, Earth for defense and Wind for speed."
End Flashback.
"Wind for speed…" Li thought to himself. He concentrated…Wind Dragon…Wind Dragon…Wind Dragon…he thought to himself. He released some energy and ascended as the wind dragon "Warrior". He looked at him he had dragon wing coming out of his back, a tail but the head the body and arms and legs of a human. He could feel the increase in speed.
"No time to waste!! I got to save Sakura! Okay lets see what this dragon can do…" with that he took off flying to Sakura's aid.
Sakura enemy laughed while he prepared for the kill. Li held out a fist it glowed a bright golden yellow… "Aura smash…" he whispered.
Right when the enemy was about capsize on Sakura's mistake…Li ran his fist right through the enemy…causing a big explosion, disintegrating the enemy. Sakura went unconscious after the explosion resided. Li quickly caught Sakura, gently holding her he flew back to where the group was.
Ylsa and Fujitaka were in a middle of conversation.
"Chaos is in danger then…" Fujitaka said worried. "He is a magical creature…if this gantlets do drain magic…his whole life might be in danger…"
Ylsa gasped "Is there anyway we could help him…" Her eyes were filled with worry.
"Yes, you will need to find the Oracle of Wind…she will be able to help you more than I…" Fujitaka said sadly.
Li gasped "What will happen if we don't help him on time?" he asked quickly.
"Chaos might die…" Fujitaka said sadly.
"We can't let that happen!" Li said strongly. "Where can we find this 'Oracle of Wind'?"
"Easy, Li…I think I know of a way to slow down the process…but I have no idea where to find the 'Oracle of Wind' though…"
Ylsa looked very worried. "I can't let Chaos die on me…he gave me too much for me to let him just die."
Li nodded while holding gently on to Sakura. "Yea…I must admit he did help us in more ways than one…is there anything we can do about it?"
Fujitaka nodded "Let us go back first…I don't know where the 'Oracle of Wind' is but I can defiantly tell you where someone who does know where she is lives."
Ylsa looked suspiciously at Fujitaka "And how do we know we can trust you?" she said in dangerous tone, daring him to push his luck.
"If you don't believe me, ask Chaos when we get back…plus we have someone that needs the rest." Fujitaka said as he put his weapon away.
No one disagreed with him so they all head back to the base.
Back at Base…
Ylsa opened the door, and they all entered the house…Li carried Sakura gently to their room and set her down on the bed softly. He put some blankets over Sakura, blushing slightly… then he went back out to the living room…
Fujitaka was explaining what was going on to the others…he left out no detail on how important this mission has become. Everyone was still skeptical about Fujitaka suddenly join back…
"How do we know we can trust you?" Eriol said plainly. "You haven't been the most trust worthy person around here."
"I assure you…it was just to infiltrate the enemy…I'm loyal to my lord." Fujitaka spoke quietly.
Li sighed "This is defiantly going to take a while…" he thought to himself.
"He speaks the truth, friends…" A weak voice came in…
Everyone including Fujitaka turned to see who the unexpected person was…they all saw Chaos looking at them weakly…eyes that were once emitted a bright glow were now dim and tired…he dragged himself and sat down.
"Chaos!" Fujitaka cried "Oh…this is very bad…Tomoyo, Eriol? Give me a hand…he won't survive long if I don't do something fast."
They both rushed to his aid… "What's wrong with Chaos?" Tomoyo asked, helping Fujitaka set up some stuff…
"Well…it's part of Chaos' secret…I can't tell you unless…" Fujitaka began.
Chaos nodded weakly indicating it was okay.
"Truth is that Chaos is a magical creature…he wasn't born but created…" Fujitaka said as he moved a few artifacts around. "His basics were designed by the holy God's but then the project fell in the hands of the evil lords…they finished him and 'molded' him to their liking. They wanted to create the ultimate dragon mage…but then they got something unexpected…Chaos could think and feel things. That surprised all his creators, it also was a mystery within itself. Since they didn't give him a soul, or heart for that matter… when he showed signs of feelings…they knew that something was wrong. They tried to suppress his 'feelings' by restricting him and torturing him…he lived most of his 'childhood' in solitude. But for some reason that didn't stop him…the results…is what you see now." He charged up one artifact that looked somewhat like a windmill with wind energy and sighed.
"WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME CHAOS??" Ylsa yelled. "I thought we were close friends…and had no secrets…" She was clearly shocked by this and hurt a little too.
Chaos sighed deeply "I don't know…it's something I rather not tell anyone…but right now it seems to me I should have told someone earlier. He said closing his eyes slightly.
The rest of the people were shocked beyond belief.
"Here…Eriol." Fujitaka said "Charge some dark energy here…we'll need it…" he commanded. Eriol did as told…the artifact sizzled and glowed a darkish color…
"Tomoyo…some healing magic in here please…" Fujitaka continued Tomoyo charged the other artifact with healing energy. Fujitaka nodded…now lets hope this works…
"Let's hope this works…" Fujitaka mumbled. He looked at a scroll and started chanting… the artifacts all started to hum rhythmically. There was a dark aura that surrounded Chaos…shortly after, Chaos feel asleep.
Ylsa gasped "What happened…he's not…"
Fujitaka shook his head… "No, he's not dead…this spell could delay his 'death' for about another month or so…but he will be either tired or unconscious…so I suggest that we find a way soon…"
Ylsa nodded "Tell me where to find the person that could tell me about the 'Oracle of Wind' I'll head out next morning to find her."
Fujitaka closed his eyes "I'll go with you…we'll take another person with us…since there is strength in numbers."
Ylsa agreed. "Then we'll take Tomoyo with us…the rest of you look over the castle, and we'll be back ASAP."
Everyone agreed on that and went to bed.
"Tomorrow's going to be a big day…" Ylsa thought to
herself "Hang on, Chaos…I'll find a way to save you, I'm not letting you go
this time, Chaos."
End of Chapter 13.
"If you find yourself and a friend being chased by a
king cheetah you have but one chance, Trip your friend."
