Chapter 8 Escape

They all heard a rusting in the barred room behind them. "Who's there?" Zidane said. "You talk to me?" Someone said as it popped up behind them. "Quina! help us!" They yelled. "What you doing here?" She asked sniffing the room. "Britta locked us up, now come over here and give us that water and unlock these chains! Zidane said anxiously. Quina walked over to the bowl of water and sniffed it. "This smell fresh." She said wanting to drink it. "Now unlock the chains!" Tawnya demanded. Quina walked up to her struggling to opened the lock. She picked up a stick and managed to break the lock into two pieces. "Thank you!" Tawnya said delighted as she leaped up. Quina broke the locks to everyone, they all stood up with soar legs and arms. "Can I drink a bit of that water?" Tawnya asked Zidane. "Sure, but leave enough for everyone." He replied. Tawnya took the large bowl of water and began to drink it. When she put the bowl done she immediately fell to the ground. They all dropped over her in great worry. "Can you hear me?!?" Garnet said panting. "Come on guys, give her some air." Zidane said as she pushed everyone back away from Tawnya. "She is still breathing, but she is defiantly out for now, we need to get out of this ship as soon as we can so we can get her to a doctor." Eiko said. "Good point" Garnet said to Eiko. Zidane turned around and looked at Quina. "What do you have in your hand?" he asked her. "I found this on ground." She told him as she held one of the petals of the blue rose. Zidane stood up and walked over to her. "I think we should put this with the first petal we collected." Zidane said as he took the rose petal from Quina's hand and put it into Tawnya's bag. In the mean time Britta and Kihoman we in a dinning room feasting on food they had stolen from Limblum. "Do you think we should go check on those fools, I seem to be hearing lots of movement." Kihoman said. "They are probably trying to get out of those steel chains we had them in." Britta said gulping down her last bight of food. "True." Kihoman said carefully taking the rose and summoners horn out of a shimmering bag from under his wing. Back in the room where Tawnya had fainted.... "We have to think up a plan to get out of here." Zidane stated as he rummaged through Tawnya's bag to find something useful inside. He pulled out two parachute bags. "Ok, listen up, Quina, I want you to make a loud noise in a moment so we can attract Kihoman and Britta to come our way. After you have done that I need you to take Tawnya with you to the front of the ship. When you are there I need you to work the ship to dive right and left rapidly to make the ship go out of control. The rest of us will have to fight Kihoman and Britta working as a team. Quina, when we feel the ship dive rapidly downward, we jump using these parachute bags." Zidane explained to everyone as he gave Quina a parachute. "Got it?" He asked everyone. "Lets do this!" Eiko said loudly. Quina climbed up the rigged wall and leaped to the ground landing on her back. "Good one!" Zidane said to her as he motioned everyone to get close to the door. Foot steps became the only sound to be heard. They stood anxiously waiting to startle them by jumping in their faces as soon as they walked into the room. A crack of the door caught everyone's attention. "1, 2, 3!" Zidane said quietly. They all scattered in front of Kihoman and Britta and Zidane took his Ultima weapon and slashed Kihoman in the side of his body. He shreiked as Quina grabbed Tawnya and ran out of the room. Britta turned around about to chase after her when a sudden shock buzzed up the side of her body. She turned around with fury in her eyes as she stretched out her hands and pushed a powerful gleam of light that shot across the room causing everyone to fall back on the cement. Blue shimmer surrounded everyone's head, then suddenly she air ship started to jerk. Kihoman fell over with a clatter as Garnet stood up waving her tiger racket. Above them shot up a blue glittering dragon which then darted accross the room caring a rush of powerful sea water to Kihoman and Britta. They fell to the ground. Kihoman snarled. He dashed to Zidane grabbing him by then neck He let him go as Zidane floated to the air. A flash of fiery light circled around him. Then blue spirals shot out from his chest making a red glow suck strength from his body and then the red glow flowed into Kihoman's chest. Zidane fell to the earth. "No!" Eiko shrieked as she grabbed hold of Kihoman and started banging her flute on his head. One flick of a claw shot her right off of his head. The airship jerked once again hurtling Britta to the wall. She shrugged then lifted her hands to cast another spell. Interupting her Zidane thrust his foot and tripped her. He jump over her legs and kicked them once more. He then held up his weapon and went into a deep thought. Red sparks came from his sord as he jolted nearly into Britta's heart. The sparks became bigger and stronger as they transformed into mighty purple spike like strings that went right into her body. He jumped back as she stood up holding her hand over her heart and struggling for another breath. Suddenly a deep dive took place through all the ship. Everyone fell back as Zidane grabbed everyone and ran out of the room. He took the parachute bag and ran to the open door. Everyone held to him as she jumped. Garnet hugged him closely as she closed her eyes tightly. Everyone look to their right and saw Quina holding her thumb up. Tawnya was strapped to her, looking practically dead as her head hung low and her gleaming blonde hair wisped through the bitter cold air.
