AN: The Sorcerer's names are actually what I call them.
They aren't really supposed to have names at all, but I needed to call them by something. It is this whole thing about not being individual.
Just on another note: This chapter follows a few episodes in the series a little more than some other chapters do.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The next day Dilandau and his men were sent out to capture a fort in Asturia. They destroyed it, but their main target had slipped away, playing a clever trick on them.
Mystic was standing next to Folken on the control deck of the Vione. Folken and Mystic had just gotten the same idea.
'Go Mystic, try to stop them.' Folken ordered. She frantically turned and ran off to the docking bay. Mystic hopped quickly into her Guymelef and flew down to the battle. She landed on the top of the ship they wanted, called the Crusade.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Hitomi screamed. She had been looking up through glass up at the battle when another Guymelef landed on the Crusade.
'Von!!' Hitomi and Merle screamed his name in panic. Allen was hurriedly calling out orders to his men. Gaddes was giving Allen status reports on the Crusade and the battle.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
'Dilandau you baka!!' Mystic yelled angrily at him. The Escaflowne jumped off the Crusade and turned into a dragon.
'Follow him!' Everyone flew after Von. 'Giving yourself up for your friends? I hate heroes!' Dilandau called out after the Escaflowne, shooting flames at it.
The Escaflowne hit the ground and turned back into a Guymelef. Dallet and Viole held it back as Dilandau beat the Guymelef and its pilot.
'How dare you!' Dilandau called out insanely. The Guymelef went limp in Dallet and Viole's grip, and fell to the ground. 'Out already?' Dilandau asked teasingly.
'Dilandau, you should bring him back. Do not hurt him anymore than is needed.' Folken ordered him. Dilandau laughed.
'Yes Strategos.' They all flew back to the Vione.
The Guymelef they had captured was put in a kneeling position in the storage bay with its pilot still unconscious inside.
Dilandau was walking behind Folken towards Escaflowne.
'I sent out search and destroy teams. They can't return to their homeland. There is no reason for us to hide here anymore. We can't fail.' Dilandau told Folken as they were walking on a walkway. Dilandau was following Folken.
'We'll wait for your men to return again. Carelessness will not be tolerated.' Folken told Dilandau, continuing to walk.
Dilandau looked at him. 'Huh, always the cautious type I see.' Dilandau chuckled at Folken, he stopped. Dilandau looked straight in front of them; there was the Guymelef he had seized earlier. There were steps leading up to the cockpit of the Guymelef. Folken was looking up at the Guymelef.
Dilandau leaned over to Folken a little bit. 'Well, anyway, with this in our hands and Mystic at our disposal, our future will be secure. Let's just drag the samurai out of there and destroy the thing.' Dilandau said to Folken, but Folken just started to walk up the stairs, Dilandau looked after him in surprise. Mystic came running up behind them, they had ditched her!
'No, I cannot allow that.' Folken said sternly to Dilandau. Dilandau jogged lightly to catch up a little bit with Folken. Mystic latched onto Dilandau's arm, they intertwined their hands and fingers.
'Why not?' Dilandau asked Folken surprised, and a little angry. Folken just continued to walk up the stairs, a little smile on his face.
'Not until we fully understand why this is a threat to our future.' Folken explained to Dilandau. Folken had walked up to the chest plate of the Guymelef, that held the pink energist that powered it. 'Now tell me Dilandau, do you understand?' Folken asked a rhetorical question. He raised his left hand up to the energist.
It started to glow bright neon pink. A blast of raw pink colored energy was released in a blast of light. Dilandau stared at it in shock, while Folken just stood there, concentrating on the light. The light suddenly stopped and the cockpit of the Guymelef opened and a boy fell out, groaning in pain. He had a loose red sleeveless shirt on and beige pants. His hair was black and looked very messy. The boy was lying on the ground shaking slightly and groaning. He then lost consciousness as Dilandau walked up to him.
'Him?! It's him!' Dilandau said as he looked down at the boy, a disgusted look on his face. He remembered when he had gone to the Asturian fort before they had burnt it to the ground. The boy had been standing with the other men of the fort
'You didn't know it was him? I thought you did.' Mystic said, just looking down at Von lying on the ground.
'Yes, Fanelia's new king, Von Fanel.' Folken said, looking down at the boy on the ground. Mystic took a quick glance at Folken, hoping he wouldn't notice. Folken looked up at her quickly, she looked away.
It's him. Mystic thought, Folken had told her his deepest and darkest secrets, things he never told anyone, no matter what. For that, she loved him even more.
