Chapter 9: Time stands still
Van and Maya had been watching Folken's camp for two months now and a moment had never come up in which they could sneak in. Folken had been warned and kept up security measures.
/Two months! / Thought Van /Two bloody months and still nothing. God I've been away for two months. Hitomi's three months pregnant by now / He smiled /It's been three years today that we were married. Shit! I told her that I'd always be at her side for our anniversaries. By the gods I'm sorry Hitomi. /
Maya sat next to Van in the rain, never complaining about the conditions or the weather or the constant watches they had to take over Folkens camp. /Dawn where are you in there? Give me some sort of sign. Please be ok if your not I will seek revenge and god only knows what Kali will do if she finds out. Kali.am I being disloyal by being here looking for you and not at the palace protecting her like we promised her father? Oh King Starfire why did you send us to do this? We are not old enough to do this we are only teens, we can't protect the princess, who must resurrect a kingdom, and recreate the legion of guardians that will protect the Royal family. Hell we can't even get a would-be guardian out of one camp! /
Van came out of his own reprieve and noticed Maya growing angry.
"What's wrong?"
"Your Majesty?
"You seem to be getting angry at something, what?"
"Nothing.I'm just thinking about everything that's happened that's all. Besides you're not looking all that hot you're self" Remembering whom she was talking to she lowered her head and quickly added "Your Majesty."
"I just remember that three years ago I was wed to Hitomi."
"Oh, congratulations your Majesty." Van looked sullen "What's wrong?"
"I promised Hitomi that I'd always be there for her and that we would always spend our anniversaries together, two promises broken in one month. Do you realize that she's three months pregnant by now?"
"I'm sure Her Majesty's fine after all she has that Doctor umm." Maya searched for his name.
"Dion Renner."
"Ah yes Dr. Renner will be taking good care of her I'm sure that we'll get Dawn out soon and we'll both be back with the ones we care for soon."
"You really care for Kali."
"For course I care for my princess!" Maya looked shocked that he even had to ask. "We're best friends!"
"Then why do you always seem so distant form her?"
"I thought it would be best her being a princess and all I mean." Maya trailed off there were many reasons she could give but all of them seemed petty. The one and only reason was that she felt unneeded by her friend now that she was a princess always surrounded by people and such, what need would she have of an old friend, a commoner from earth her subject once you got technical about it. Van watched her and guessed the line of her thought.
"You know just because she's a princess now doesn't mean you should stay at a distance it's the opposite in fact. Now that she a princess she will need close friends like you to be loyal and true, when she's with you she'll be able to be herself."
Maya stared at Van she had never thought of it that way. She never thought of how lonely Kali must be right now, alone in the palace with only Hitomi to talk to. She vowed that when she returned she would talk to Kali, more than just her princess her friend.
"Van."
They had been so engrossed in their discussion they never heard Allen and Dagan come up behind them.
"Allen?"
"There is some movement on the other side of camp they're bringing someone in and they're heading this way. It looks like a prisoner if it is we should be able to pinpoint the location of Merle and Dawn."
Van nodded to show he understood. Dagan stood without saying a word he had been demoted but he was still a friend of Van and even if they weren't on good terms at the time Dagan would not allow his friend to go into such a dangerous situation without him. Van neither looked at Dagan nor acknowledged his presence. The only response he got from Maya was that she didn't beat the living crap out of him like normal. Which Dagan considered good as he still had bruises from the last assault.
"There!" Allen whispered
Everyone was rapt with attention as they looked on at the camp. A group of 10 dragon slayers, along with Folken and Dilandau, carried a limp form bound together with chains towards a large tent.
"KALI!" Exclaimed Maya
"What?" Asked Allen and Van at the same time.
"That's Kali they're taking in there. They've captured Kali." Maya looked crestfallen. Van looked worse.
"Hitomi." Everyone looked at him Dagan was the first to speak up.
"She could have left the palace on her own and gotten captured after all they would have taken Hitomi alive had the stormed the palace and there is no hint of other prisoners."
Allen Maya and Van looked back to realize that he was right.
"We've got to get in there NOW!"
"Maya calm down. Yes they have Kali but now we know where She Dawn and Merle are being kept." Allen stated this calmly himself although he looked like he was going to kill the person who had knocked out Kali. (A/N: He has yet to find out about Dion) Things did not go as they planned from there on out. They spent another month watching the camp before another opportunity came.
"They plan to attack the palace."
"What!" Van was horrified and shocked at the same time and in Maya's opinion it made a very comical look on his face. But now was not the time for laughing so she kept her face impassive as always.
Allen ignored Vans outburst and continued "Since they're forces will be focused on the palace not here we should be able to get in and out with all three of them. And here's the best part when they realize what's going on here they will send reinforcements here thereby giving the people of Fanalia time to beat them."
They all agreed it was a good plan and set out to work on it.
"Dawn?"
"Yeah?"
"Where's Merle? I heard she was taken too?"
"She's here. She's tired and weak though so she sleeps a lot. She was awake when they brought you in and tried to stay awake until you woke up to make sure you were alright but she couldn't find the strength to do it."
"I'm sorry."
"What?"
"I'm sorry." She repeated "I'm sorry I got you all into this."
"This isn't your fault."
"How so? You came here because of me and you were tortured because of me, you and Merle were taken in an attack meant for me. Maya and Van left because you were taken and now they are gone and from that Hitomi is in pain. Dion will love me forever and never have me now that I'll most likely die here. In what way is none of this my fault?!"
"Dion?"
Kali went bright red. "Ne..never mind about that. Don't avoid my question"
"Kali we came because we wanted to. No one forced us to we came through our love for you. Everyone has done everything out of love. No one could predict what was going to happen! You are not to blame!"
"She's right. You are the hope."
"Merle?" "Merle are you ok?" Kali asked the young cat girl.
"Yeah I'm ok a little thirsty but ok. As I was saying you and you alone can save Gaia from this darkness you must fight to save it!"
"I must, must I?" They looked at Kali "I must fight?" Tears came to her eyes "WHY? Why? I just want to be a ordinary girl I want to be free, to love, to go home."
Dawn and Merle looked at the young princess they both understood her but at the same time they both knew she had to find her own way to who she was. They all herd a sound off in the distance. They looked up the guard awoke. Kali understood what was going on through her powers and intended to make full use of the situation.
"Hey you guard!" He grunted and turned towards the door. /Crap! / "Hey you we need some water here!"
He turned towards the young princess "Why should I?"
"As I remember Folken told you to give me whatever food and drink I wished."
"Fine." He walked over grabbed a cup and scooped up the freezing cold water out of a bucket. He walked over and handed it to her.
"Give it to her." She indicated Merle. He glared at her. "Please." He turned to give it to the cat girl when she acted. She grabbed the neck of the guard and held him tight against the bars cutting off his windpipe. When his struggles ceased she let him down gently and relieved him of his keys. After she let out Dawn and Merle she found her sword and reattached it to her belt.
"Anyone tied of this party follow me." Kali led the way out of the tent and into complete chaos. People from Asturia and Fanalia where're fighting off people form Folkens camp the Deamon Legion, as they liked to call themselves. They ran in hopes of finding someone they knew.
When the night came to attack, nothing went right for them, there were more people than they had intended and they sent out the call for help long before they had planned long before they even got to Kali and the others. Kali had realized what was happening and had gotten her self and the others out but no one could fight them and moment by moment more and more warriors were showing up to help the enemy.
"VAN-SAMA!" A fuzz ball attached her self to Van.
"Merle?" Van looked down at the now young woman who was clinging to him. Relived to see that it was her. "Where are Kali and Dawn?"
Merle looked behind her "I don't know Van-sama."
"Come on we have to get you out of here."
"Allen I put you in charge of finding Kali."
"Alright Van."
Van and Merle left the battlefield leaving Allen to find the other two.
Kali and Dawn wandered the field looking for someone when
"Omigod where is Merle?" Kali frantically looked around for the young cat woman.
"I don't know but we can't stay to look for her come on."
Kali hesitated but knowing that Dawn was right she followed her.
A solider jumped in front of them.
"Where are you going?" He demanded
"We're leaving!" Kali unsheathed her sword. "And your not stopping us!" Kali and the young man began to fight with a nervous Dawn looking on.
"Get out of here Dawn!" Kali yelled between blows to her sword, for she had seen people coming to help and make sure they didn't escape. "Leave now!"
"But Kali-"
"Dawn I can take care of my self." She took the young man out in one single swift blow "See now get going while you can. That's an order from your Princess."
Dawn turned to leave when another solider came up and stuck his sword through her shoulder.
"DAWN!" Kali took no mercy on those that stood in her way. She killed each and every one of them power strength coming from her stone in the manacle. As she neared her friend, anger taking over the sword and stone shattered. She reached her side and time stood still, Dawn lay on the ground unmoving, unconscious. "Dawn" She whispered. "No."
A bright light swooped down and engulfed the young woman and lifted her away. Her tears still falling landed on the ground and on Dawn.
