AN: I still don't own Escaflowne. *pouts*
Please R&R! It doesn't take long!! I promise!
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Mystic rested her head on his shoulder. 'Don't worry.' She smiled up at him. Mystic had her hand on his chest. He reached up his mechanical arm and covered her hand with his. Folken felt a little comfort with her there, she made bearing the pain of his past easier.
'You should leave.' Folken said hesitantly, he didn't want her to leave, but he knew he might do something that he would regret forever if she stayed. 'You have a big day ahead of you.'
I have heard someone tell me that before, but where? Mystic asked herself. Why? Mystic suddenly remembered a face of someone; she didn't know who it was. It was from her past, she knew that. Why?
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The dark figures were once again in a private room, arguing about what to do with Mystic. To operate on her or to see what happens, those were their choices of action, but which one should they choose?
'We need a solution, now.' White Goatee said with urgency.
'I agree.' Shrouded Figure said, looking around at the others.
'Leave her be, she does not understand, if she starts to remember anything substantial we will do something then.' Unseen Figure said.
'No.' Figure from the Back said. They shook their heads in agreement.
'We must do something now.' White Goatee said.
'If we wait too long she may turn to the other side, or worse, attack us directly, she might attack us from the inside.' Shrouded Figure said.
'No, we will wait longer.' Unseen Figure said, ending the argument.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
It was the next day and dawn had just broken. Suddenly the floating fortress shook, like an explosion had occurred. Folken grabbed a ledge to hold himself up. Mystic was standing behind him and grabbed on to the same ledge to hold herself up.
'What was that?!' Mystic was aggravated at this sudden shake.
Von woke up at the shaking of the fortress.
The Crusade was falling from the sky at a rapid rate of speed. Out the window of the Crusade you could see smoke rising from the Zaibach floating fortress. Allen looked down at it in surprise.
'What just happened?' Folken asked a soldier angrily.
'There was an explosion in the hanger! Cause unknown!' The soldier replied.
'Mystic! Go find Dilandau!' Folken ordered her. Before he could say anything else Mystic ran out to find him.
One of the Crusade's levi-stones was scraping against the floating fortress's side.
'Anchor!' Allen ordered; one of his men pulled a lever that released the anchor. The anchor flew out and attached itself to the floating fortress.
'Levitation restored!' Another one of Allen's men said to him.
'Okay, cut the tether and then raise the propellers!' Allen ordered his men. 'Aft luring anchors! Fire!' Allen ordered. The Crusade was attached to the outside of the bay on the floating fortress. 'Okay, let's board them!' Allen yelled.
The men all ran in. There was smoke everywhere. Allen stopped and looked around. Zaibach soldiers came charging out of a hallway.
'Here they come!' Allen said to himself, he drew his sword, ready for the attack.
'Leave them to me sir.' Gaddes said to Allen, stepping in front of him, his sword already drawn.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Von was leaning against the door of Folken's room, trying to hear what was going on outside. 'What the heck's going on out there?' Von asked himself, trying to hear what all the commotion was about.
The battle was raging further; Allen's men were playing their usual tricks on the Zaibach soldiers. The mole man was sifting through a box of weapons and armor.
'Where's Lord Dilandau?' Gatti asked; he was standing in a hallway with Dallet and Shesta. A group of soldiers ran by.
'I don't know.' Shesta replied, looking to the faces of his comrades.
'We can't act without his orders. So let's split up and look for him.' Gatti said. 'C'mon let's go!' Gatti encouraged the others. They all ran off in different directions, searching for Dilandau.
Allen fought off four Zaibach soldiers at once, continuing his search for Von down the halls of the floating fortress. He stopped, noticing Escaflowne down yet another different hallway.
Shesta came around the corner, attacking him. Allen hit his sword away from him and held his own sword to Shesta's neck.
'Freeze, if you want to live, that is.' Allen said to Shesta.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Von was still leaning against the door when he heard something on the outside moving around, like the door was unlocking. He stepped back cautiously. It opened and Shesta fell to the ground unconscious. Allen stepped out behind him.
'Allen! You came to save me?' Von asked, staring at Allen with disbelief.
'There isn't much time. Come on!' Allen and Von started to run down the hallway when they saw Mystic skidding around the corner.
She saw them and drew her sword, ready to fight. Allen and Mystic charged each other; sparks flew as their swords clashed. Von charged at Mystic and knocked her sword away from her. Allen knocked her against the wall, his sword against her throat. She glowered at him.
'You'll pay for this.' She growled. He just smiled back at her.
What's with this guy? Mystic thought, not showing her confusion.
'You're wrong there. You're coming with us.' Allen said, almost laughing. He knocked her over the head as hard as he could. Mystic's vision blurred as she lost consciousness.
