Chapter Three: The Escape
Sakura's eyes fluttered open. She must have drifted off to sleep when Gatti left, but she couldn't have been sleeping too long because the towel on her back was still warm. And, just her luck, the cut still hurt like hell. She was going to teach that brown-haired Dragonslayer some manners.
"Sakura", a voice whispered, "SAKURA!" She wasn't sure she wanted to answer because she had no idea who was calling her. Suddenly, something moved in the corner of the room. She shifted her eyes over to the corner and saw that someone was moving on the bed. "Wait a sec," she thought to herself, "my friends are on the other beds!" She focused on the bed and saw Kaylee moving towards her.
"Get up Sakura!," she said. "Not exactly the easiest task in the world!," she replied and pointed to the cut on her back. "Ouch," Kaylee said, "well, I-I'll help you up,". Kaylee started to lift up Sakura, but a voice said, "Going somewhere?."
A figure stepped out of the shadows, and Kaylee and Sakura soon found it belonged to General Dilandau. "You won't be able to escape the Zaibach Floating Fortress," he snickered. "The floating fortress," Sakura thought, "why didn't I think of that earlier?" "So," he muttered, "you didn't answer my question, what are you doing?"
Suddenly, another figure appeared behind him with a sword. "Kickin' your ass!" the figure yelled, and hit Dilandau with the back of its sword. "MIGUEL!," Dilandau yelled as he fell. "Missy?," Sakura said, as the figure ran up to them. "Who else?" Missy said mischievously. Kaylee and Missy ran out of the room and down the halls, with Sakura trailing behind. Just then an alarm sounded and echoed through the fortress. "We have to hurry and get to the guymelefs," Missy yelled, "come on Sakura!" Sakura started to pick up speed, but was still limping far behind.
Kaylee reached the Guymelef storehouse first. She studied a blue guymelef quickly and tried starting it up. It was no use, the Guymelefs here were different than Myean ones. Just then Missy rushed in with her arm around Sakura holding her up. "Thanks," Sakura said. "Your welcome, but there's no time to talk now, look!," she yelled. Sakura looked over and saw about fifty Dragonslayers rush in. "Hurry, Rush, Vamoose,!" Sakura yelled at Kaylee. Kaylee shifted her eyes around the Guymelef franticly. "This must do something", she said as she hopped in and pulled a lever. They heard a sound as the guymelef lifed off the ground. The guymelef extended it's arm as Missy jumped on and held out her hand for Sakura. Sakura took it, but something quickly grabbed her leg. She looked down and saw a Dragonslayer. She unsheathed her sword and it plunged through his stomach, but the General came over and pulled her all the way down.
"No one makes a fool out of Dilandau!," he screamed manically. Sakura hit the ground. "Go," she yelled weakly to her friends, just before everthing went black.
