Notes-Fanfiction.net is back up! Here is the long awaited chapter 6! Just kidding. Kidding. I got this up as soon as I could think of a good plot for it. I hope nothing has confused you so far. Please r/r.

Going Back chapter 6

With Allen…

"I will make it, I will make it," Allen chanted to himself.

Then his legs collapsed from under him. He had been walking all night and half the day; lets put it this way, he was dead tired. He couldn't take going the last 48 hours without resting or sleeping (remember the battle also). So there he laid waiting for someone, anyone, to help him back to Fanelia after giving up long ago looking for Escaflowne and Van.

Over to Merle and Jake…

After going through the dark and dusty tunnels, through the overgrown forest, and across the silent fields, Merle and Jake finally made it to the remains of the bloody battlefield.

"What happened here," Merle asked as she stared at the remains in horror.

"I don't know," said Jake in reply.

The battlefield looked like a bloody massacre for the enemies and Hitomi, Van, and Allen nowhere to be seen. The field looked like civil war struck the heart of the enemies. Basically chaos in disguise of a battlefield. Suddenly everything went black as they were knocked out by the unseen enemy hiding in the midst of the battlefield.

The enemies…

A few soldiers dragged the unconscious Merle and Jake to a cold damp cell. Then the unconscious pair were chained to musky walls with no key to get them out. After making sure the job was done the soldiers left the dungeon only to enter their own quarters.

Main chamber in enemy castle…

"Good job Falon. We need those two in the dungeon, but we don't need the king and the girl," General Mellex yelled sarcastically.

"Th..e k..in..g is de..ad s.ir," Falon stuttered.(the king is dead sir)

"Somehow I don't think so," hissed the general.

Falon cowered in fear under the general's sharp gaze.

"Fail me again Falon and I will personally make sure that you are executed," said the general sharply.

"Yes sir," said Falon stumbling as he was getting out of the room in quite a hurry.

"A new age will dawn and the black nemesis shall rise again," the general said laughing insanely.

Hitomi's vision…

Merle and Jake were looking for something. They were in a holding cell chained to a wall. They were calling out for help and in agony. Now she saw it. They were looking for a way out of that horrible place. Rats scattered across the floor. The ceiling was dripping with freezing cold water and the dirt floor looked like someone was buried there. A couple of guards brought and laid it just out of their reach, laughing as they left.

The vision changed…

Now she saw a young man. By his clothes he was a high ranked officer. He was planning an attack on someone. She looked closer to the papers spread across the table. She gasped. They were sketches of her and Van. She looked at the map with a look that said she had just seen a ghost. It was a map of the battle and where the river was that she had saved Van.

The vision changed again…

The general was who she saw this time. He was in the main chamber again with an insane look on his face. He had dark skin and jet- black hair. He had on an all black outfit with the symbol of darkness on his shirt. A black phoenix.

"A new age will dawn and the black nemesis shall rise again. Darkness shall fall upon Gaea and destruction will surely follow. A black phoenix will soar through the clouds signaling the end of peace and the beginning of death, destruction, and darkness. We shall rule the dying land until everything is dead. Nobody will stop me, not even the two who are saved Gaea before," said the general towards the wind outside.

Changing again…

This time it was Allen she saw. His shirt was in shreds. Not only that there were deep cuts on his back. Scars from the battle none the less. His long blond hair was dirty and matted. He looked like he had been traveling for a long time. The calm river and peaceful air around him described the peaceful look on his face. He looked dead besides his breath, which was short and ragged. He looked like he had given up on all hope and was waiting for death to claim him.

Once more…

Finally it was Van she saw. He was flying towards the beautiful sunset before his left wing was shot and he was falling, falling in an endless sea of darkness; crimson staining his glorious white wings.

Hitomi woke up with a new determination on her face. She wasn't going to let any of that happen. She finally realized what the price was. The price was her having to save Gaea once again or watch it die before her very eyes.
