Chapter 7: the great chase
Zidane helped me up and undid the wire that bound my hands together. " Your hands.they are bleeding." He said as I clenched my teeth together and held my left wrist with my right hand. " You are left handed?" Steiner asked. I nodded my head as my eyes closed tightly and I streak of pain ran down my body. " I guess those people in Dali aren't as peaceful as they seem." Zidane said as Vivi and Dagger came out of the door from the engine room. " Heather!" Vivi yelled. " How did you get here? I thought you were left behind." Dagger said. " I got caught and stuffed in a box like Vivi did. And I guess they put my box on the ship." I said trying to stand up but falling down again. " Why are you bleeding?" Vivi asked. " Well, while I was distracting the men who caught me bound me with a wire then stuffed me in a box. And while Steiner was figuring out who was in the box, the knuckle -head sliced me with his sword!" " I'll fix that." Dagger said as she put her hands on my wrists and my arm. Then in a few seconds my cuts were gone! " Thanks." I said as she gave a hand to me and helped me up. I nodded to her and I focused on the front of the ship. I saw another black waltz! This one was the strongest and he had the power of thunder. "Everyone go into the control room and head towards lindblum, we got another black waltz following us! Everyone except for Vivi and I went into the control room. " Vivi, what is wrong?" " I don't know, I feel strange." " Look Vivi, it is not safe to be out here we need to go inside!" I said as the so -called dolls came to where we were and guarded us. " What are they doing?" I asked as the Waltz landed on our ship. " I demand the princess! I exist only to kill and I will kill all of you if you don't move!" " Vivi, go back into the control room now!" I ordered as the mage obeyed. " You will all regret it!" He said shooting lightning out of his fingers. All the black mages had fallen off the ship but I remained intact.
I looked back to the control room Vivi having his hands pressing against the glass seeing the mages go down off the ship like a child tossing a doll down to the ground. I felt sorry for him; I don't know why I just did. Then the furry of the lightning became fiercer as the lightning shattered the glass sending small pieces everywhere. The others behind the control room ducked down to dodge the flying glass. As Dagger let go of the wheel I could feel the airship turning sharply to the cliffs surrounding us. " Someone grab the wheel!" I yelled as they all sprang up on their feet and dagger turned the wheel violently. I lost my balance and feel to the ground. Zidane like I was actually hurt ran over to me swaying back and forth. He held out a hand and I grabbed it. As I was being helped up the ship turned violently again dodging the cliffs. We both lost our balance and I knocked my head on the side of the ship, and it left a bruise. I rubbed my head a little but it didn't do any good. Then the ship stopped turning so sharply and we went on a straight course. Vivi and Steiner ran out and we were in a battle with the final black waltz! The battle was hard because I had to cure everyone a lot and never had to attack. Vivi and Steiner did their fire sword several times and it finally got the waltz tired. " I-I exist only t-to k-kill, I exist only to kill." He repeated as he flew off the airship. Vivi and I ran to the front of the ship to see where he went. "We better step on it! The battle is not over yet." I said rushing back to the control room. Vivi remained where he was; I guess he was thinking about the dolls. " Garnet- I mean dagger you are doing great, all we need to do is pick up the speed then I want to go into that gate over there." I pointed to a large gate in the distance. " Okay, got it." She replied. I turned around and faced Vivi. " Princess, I have something to tell you." " What is it?" " Well, I am sorry for treating you like. what I am trying to say is. I've been treating you like you were still a little kid, but your not your sixteen. Even though I am your same age I feel like I am older and I act older.but I'm not, I'm sorry." I cranked up the speed and bowed down to Garnet. I walked to Vivi and put a few tufts of hair behind my ears. " Vivi, I think it would be best if you went into the control room." Vivi ignored me or didn't hear me so he just looked out to the clouds. I leaned over the edge and saw the black waltz on some kind of.small air ship! " Everyone, back into the control room now!" I ordered pulling Vivi into the room. Zidane was still outside and was keeping track of where the waltz was. I ran outside to him when lightning came once again out of the waltz's hands. I ran in front of Zidane and reflected the attack with my sword, causing the small airship to catch on fire and crash. The airship suddenly turned unexpectedly and Zidane basically flew off the edge of the ship! I grabbed onto his one hand and could barely pull him up. I looked in front of the ship and a huge fire set off. I used my spare hand and held onto his hand. My feet were off the ground and I found out I was going to fall if I didn't grab onto something fast. " Steiner, give me a hand!" I said almost flipping over the edge. Steiner came over and grabbed my hand right in time as I had totally lost my balance. He pulled us up, but we weren't out of the tunnel yet. Another fire had started and we all ducked and covered our heads as the flames missed us. Next thing we knew we were out of the tunnel and we had barley made it out alive. Especially Zidane and I.
