The Unknown Dragon Slayer 2
So that was it. I wasn't out all the way, I could still hear them talking. But My head wouldn't focus. I'd hear things like 'attack Austoria' or 'We have to get the key' things I didn't understand. Which was probably why they didn't mind talking about it right in my cell. They knew, or thought I was out. But, what about attacking Austoria? Didn't Allen and Van talk about something concerning it? Was Austoria a city, a code name? I didn't know, but I would find out. I focused on what I guessed was Folkins voice.
"The Emperor said the Dragon Is headed for Austoria," He said.
"So let's just go and smoke it out," Dilandau said. "Besides, I feel like burning something."
"Austoria is an Ally, if you attack her now, it would draw attention to Zibach," Folkin Explained.
"Then what did you have in mind Stratgos?"
"The girl that's with Van. Capture her and then when Van comes to save her ..." Folkin said. Dilandau laughed like he had just gotten a new flame thrower for his guymelef.
"Excellent Folkin, Now I can see why the Emperor knew you'd be good for this job," Dilandau said still chuckling.
So that's what was going on. They were going to capture Hitomi at Austoia, use her as bait for Van, and when he came to help her... I didn't know if they were going to kill him, or try to make him part of Zibach. But the way Dilandau laughed, I guess that they were going to kill him. 'I have to get out of here and warn Van!' I thought. Okay, I don't know him too well, but that doesn't mean that I'm just gonna sit here and let these people kill 'em right? I hate to be an innocent bystander. I wanna do something in a case like this. 'I'll have to escape, Some how I have to lure the guard in here, knock him out, get his sword, steal a guymelef and warn Van.' Okay, so now with my plan, I just had to wait for night. That would be when most of the people are sleeping.
I herd Shuffling, and I guessed that they were checking to make sure I was still 'out'. I played dead, something I was good at doing, and I could hear them walking away, mumbling something about not being as strong as they thought I was. Which of course made me want to jump up and attack them, but I didn't. I know if I did Then they'd stay and I wouldn't be able to get out. 'I should sleep now, other wise I'll be too tired to fight to leave this place.' So I did. I slept until I thought it was dark out. And I guess it was because everyone else was asleep. I looked at the guard who was in front of my cell door. OKay, how was I going to get him in here. I could always pester him till he gets annoyed and comes in to shut me up. Or I could play sick. Hmm decisions decisions. But I chose to annoy him. I was in a mocking kind of mood anyway.
I went up to the door, stuck my hand through the bars, and tapped in on the head. he turned around and I saw he was the same guy that tried to attack me from behind. And he was really kawaii.
"What?" HE asked.
""What's your name?" I asked.
"Why would you care?" he asked.
"I just wanna know what kinda boy was insecure enough to attack a female from behind," I responded. His eyes narrowed and I could tell I had hit something there.
"This kind," he said, and turned back around.
"Well then at least tell me how old you are," I said.
"15," he said.
"So why is a fifteen year old in the army?" I asked.
"Why would you care?" He asked again.
"Family problems?" I asked. I could see he straitened up more, if that was possible. "Who sent you away kid?" I asked.
"Why would you care?"
"Just wanna know, was it your dad?" I asked.
"Shut up."
"It was wasn't it," I said tauntingly. "and your mother didn't do anything to stop him.
"Shut up!" He said again.
"I will if you tell me your name."
"...Gatti," He said finally.
"There, now was that so hard?" I asked.
"How old are you?" He asked me.
"14"
"And what's your name?"
"Tora," I said.
"What's it supposed to mean?"
"Tiger," I said.
"Don't really fit it that well do ya?" HE Asked.
"Right, that's why I took you and that other guy out at the same time?" I asked. If there's one thing a guy cant stand, it's being called a wimp. "Poor little guy," I said in a sympathetic tone.
"Shut up," He said again.
"Do you want the big mean girl behind you to be quiet?" I asked.
"Shut up!" HE says again.
"Why don't you call for Dilandau, maybe he could come and knock me out." I said, still in the mocking tone. That did it. Gatti turned around, unlocked the door, Came in and took out his sword. I tried to look worried, buy it was kinda hard. He walked up to me, got me in a corner, and hit me over the head. I did waver a little bit, he almost got me out. But as soon as I herd him walking away, I swung my leg under his, tripping him, and when he hit he ground I looked to see if he was out. His eyes were closed and he had a cut on the back of his head.
"Sorry," I said as I took the sword. I ran out, and being the idot that I am, I didn't bother to look to see if he was really out or close the door. So of course I didn't see him sit up, smiling and I didn't hear him talk to the camera in the corner of the cell, saying I was on my way out. But before you get all on my back for not seeing the camera, know that it was in the darkest part of the cell. No light got to it. How was I supposed to know it was there?
Well, I got pretty far actually. I was opening the red guymelef and was about to hope in when I saw Dilandau was in it.
"Shit," I said, I should have known they would have though I'd try to escape.
"You really think we would let you get away so easily?" He asked, a smirk on his face.
"Does that mean you will let me get away?" I asked.
"No," He said.
"Man," I said. OKay, don't get me wrong, usually I would give up knowing that I couldn't do it. But I felt giddy right now. "Okay," I said and hoped down.
I waited till I herd Dilandau walking up behind me. As soon as I thought he was close enough, I swung around, and side kicked him right in the chest, sending him tumbling backwards. 'Should have kicked him in the face' But I didn't dwell on it too long. I set in to a sprint, running for the closed guymelef. I was about there when out of no where, I was tackled from the side!
"AHHH!" I screamed as I was hit. I smashed against the floor and I saw the person who got me was Gatti. "Punk!" I yelled, trying to throw him off me. When I finally did, I grabbed my sword, and set for the next guymelef. This time, I saw him in the shadows, and when the guy jumped, I rolled. Right under him. I jumped onto the gumelef and started to open it when I got that feeling. I took out my sword, and clashed with who I guessed was Chesta. He was the same one that I had first fought with at Allens head quarters. The one with pretty eyes. He attacked, and I blocked, then out of no where someone kicked my in the side, sending me flying off the guymelef.
"AHH!" I yelled as I fell. But I didn't hit the ground. Someone caught me. Which I was actually grateful for, because hitting the ground would have really hurt. I looked to see who caught me, and saw Dilandau. I punched him, and Somehow maneuvered out of his arms, only to feel his blade across my neck again. He grabbed my arms and kicked the sword out of my hand.
"You've been a bad girl today," He said into my ear.
"You've been a bad boy all your life," I said back. I herd him chuckle under his breath.
"That's true," He said. OKay, now I wasn't expecting that from him. "This girl deserves an applause for not giving uneasily," he said to everyone. And they laughed along with him.
'giving up?' I thought. 'oh no, I'm not done yet.' the only problem was that he was holding my arms so tightly that if I moved them I'd get a dislocated shoulder. But I knew what I had to do.
I stomped on his foot, wrapped my leg around his, and pulled, tripping him. The pain shot through my arm like nothing I'd felt before! I checked my neck for blood, But when Dilandau fell, he put his arms out to stop himself, bringing the sword away from my neck. Before anyone knew what had happened, I was out in a run, in a guymelef and leaving the anchor.
"You idiots stop her!" I could hear Dilandau yell. I changed the guymelef so that it could fly, zoom! I was outa there. Okay, Allen had taught me how to fight with a sword yes? Right, But a in a guymelef? No. But it looked easy enough.
The next thing I knew they were firing at me! Boom! Boom! Left and right! I had to douge. Oneone the right! Turn left! on the left! Go under it! Then, Smack! Crunch! The guymelef plummeted through the trees and landed on the ground with a Smack. I open the cockpits' door and got out. Least I was down and out of Zibach. I turned around and searched for a weapon of some kind. A sword? A gun? Anything? A dagger, that was good enough for me. I grabbed it and set off in another run. I tried not to get to any clearings, they'd be able to spot me if I did. But suddenly the forest was gone, and nothing was ahead of me accept open field.
"oh man!" I said. I slid down a trees trunk and sat there for a few minutes. When Thought My heart rate had finally gone down again, I stood up and was about to go when, thump. Dilandau landed right in front of me. He dropped from the tree.
"Oh fun," I said. And bolted. Not back into the forest, but to the open field. He went after me. I didn't go as fast as I could, I wanted to keep him close. why? Because I figure As long as he's near by, His solders wont fire, they'd be afraid they'd hit him. And Apparently I was right. Because nobody fired. In fact I didn't even see anybody. 'He's hear alone.' I thought. When I looked back, I saw he had taken off his armor and now was in a guys black tang top and matching pants. Very kawaii. In fact I almost tripped when I was looking at him. He was running really fast, and closing in on me like a Cheetah to it's prey. I also saw there were no guymelefs behind him. I kept running, I was sprinting now, and My legs were getting tired. He was still coming, but not as fast. I had to slow down a bit, had I kept running like that, I would have fainted. I'm in good shape, but I'd like to see you running a couple miles only stopping once and then still have energy to sprint some.
But suddenly I was down! Did I trip? No, Dilandau caught up to me, and tackled me to the ground. I tried to push myself up to run again, but Dilandau turned me over, and had his hands on my elbows, again, sitting on me. We just looked at each other, panting. He smiled a triumphant grin.
"Gotcha," He said.
"No kidding," I responded. "Let me up."
"I'd rather not."
"You like sitting on me?" I asked.
"No, But I know now you can't get away." And I knew he was right. My legs felt like Jello and I was too tired to try to push him off me.
"Punk," I said. He laughed. I looked around for my dagger, and I spotted it about 8 feet away from me. Dilandau followed my eyes and saw the dagger.
"Wanna kill me?" He asked coolly.
"It's crossed my mind," I said. He smiled, an actual smile. Not like any of the other ones he'd given me, but ,one of those 'I like you kid,' ones.
He leaned forward and placed his lips on mine. I gasped. When he pulled away I stared at him in shock. Who would have known he would have done that?
"I like you kid, so I'll give you another chance instead of killing you." He said. he got off me and walked over to the dagger. I stayed on the ground still shocked at what he had done. Finally I pushed myself up and Stood. I looked at him with caution. He now had my weapon. He was stronger, and more advanced in fighting, what was I supposed to do? And During all this, I forgot about my dislocated arm. I now looked at it and wondered how I would get it back in place. It would hurt, maybe more then it did now, but somehow I had to get it back in place.
"Come on," he said now sounding like him again. He grabbed my dislocated arm and started to pull me along. When I let out a shout and my knees buckle because of the pain, he looked back in wonder.
"My arm's dislocated," I explained. He walked over and gave a tug on the arm. Pulling it upright in the air. I heard a Pop! And that was it. It still hurt but not as much.
"Come on," He said again, and took the other arm and pulled me by that one.
"Aren't you nice," I said as he pulled me along.
"I'm letting you live aren't I?" He asked.
"That's only because you and Folkin need me for something," I said.
"That may be, but I'm still letting you live," he said again.
"If you can call this living," I said.
"I do."
"Yea, but that's you."
"Are you breathing?"
"Yes," I said in some confusion.
"Do you eat?" He asked.
"If you give me food."
"Is your heart sending blood to all parts of your body?" He asked.
"Yea," I said.
"Then you're alive."
"What do you need me for?" I asked changing the subject.
"You're a smart girl, figure it out."
"You'd be better off killing me, I'm not telling you anything."
"Maybe not willingly, Tora," He said.
"Did Gatti tell you my name?" I asked. He didn't Answer, he tossed me into the back of his guymelef, took the dagger, and hit me over the head with it. And this time, I did black out.
* * *
I woke once again on the cold floor of the cell. I knew he was there, standing behind me. Why is he always behind me? Why doesn't he stand in front?
"Why do you always put me in this cell?" I asked.
"Because this is your cell." He said.
"Then Why do you always stand behind me?" I asked, getting up.
"Because, I like it in the shadows," He said. I turned around to face him.
"Why do you bother if you know I'm not going to tell you anything?"
"Because I know you will eventually."
"You wanna know what I know?" I asked.
"Yes," he said.
"I know that I shouldn't be here locked in this cell. I should be at home doing my homework and playing video games. Not here where I have to try to escape and run 3 miles to accomplish nothing," I said.
"What were you going to do?" He asked.
" I was going to warn Van about your little capture Hitomi plan." His eyes widened, and he laughed.
"You deserve more credit then I gave you," He said still chuckling. I didn't say anything, just watched him laugh. His Silvery hair caught the candle light and his red, pinkish eyes were burning like fire. He's armor showed off the muscles in his chest, over all, he looked hot.
"Let me go," I demanded as soon as he stopped laughing.
"I'd rather not," He said. I was there in a flash, the heal of my foot smacked his jaw, and sent him tumbling backwards. "Shit," He said, he drew his sword and was ready to charge. "Don't ever do that again."
"Why, did it hurt?" I asked in a mocking tone. Dilandau dropped his sword and walked over to me. When He was close enough I tried to kick him, but he caught my foot, and some how maneuvered it so I was facing him, and was shoved up against the wall. His hands were holding mine against the wall by my head. He smiled the same way he had before he kissed me.
"Let me go," I said.
"Why, I like this game." he said.
"Then I quite," I said, and pushed him away. He had been so close to me. Was he playing with my mind? Doing all this just for kicks? I didn't know.
"Come one, Be a good girl," He said.
" I'd rather not," I responded. He smiled again I saw his eyes fall on something to the side of my head.
"Listen, on the count to three, I'm going to pull you off. Alright?" He asked, his eyes not leaving whatever was next to my head. I nodded. "One... Two.. Three." He pulled me off the wall and I saw what he was looking at when I turned around. A Black Widow Spider. The size of his Hand was right by my head.
"Oh my gosh," I said. " Dude!" I said and gave Dilandau a little push on the shoulder. "You just Saved my life!" I said. He looked at me and gave a half smile. Dilandau walked over to the spider and smashed it with his sword. Then he walked over to a corner and I could hear him doing something. Then he stepped back and Said "Bring the Uniform." Then he turned to Me and said, "Welcome to the Dragon Slayers." And a Man with a pile of folded clothes came in and gave then to me. I had just become a Dragon Slayer?
So that was it. I wasn't out all the way, I could still hear them talking. But My head wouldn't focus. I'd hear things like 'attack Austoria' or 'We have to get the key' things I didn't understand. Which was probably why they didn't mind talking about it right in my cell. They knew, or thought I was out. But, what about attacking Austoria? Didn't Allen and Van talk about something concerning it? Was Austoria a city, a code name? I didn't know, but I would find out. I focused on what I guessed was Folkins voice.

"So let's just go and smoke it out," Dilandau said. "Besides, I feel like burning something."
"Austoria is an Ally, if you attack her now, it would draw attention to Zibach," Folkin Explained.
"Then what did you have in mind Stratgos?"
"The girl that's with Van. Capture her and then when Van comes to save her ..." Folkin said. Dilandau laughed like he had just gotten a new flame thrower for his guymelef.
"Excellent Folkin, Now I can see why the Emperor knew you'd be good for this job," Dilandau said still chuckling.
So that's what was going on. They were going to capture Hitomi at Austoia, use her as bait for Van, and when he came to help her...

Okay, so now with my plan, I just had to wait for night. That would be when most of the people are sleeping.

"I'm letting you live aren't I?" He asked.
"That's only because you and Folkin need me for something," I said.
"That may be, but I'm still letting you live," he said again.
"If you can call this living," I said.
"I do."
"Yea, but that's you."
"Are you breathing?"
"Yes," I said in some confusion.
"Do you eat?" He asked.
"If you give me food."
"Is your heart sending blood to all parts of your body?" He asked.
"Yea," I said.
"Then you're alive."
"What do you need me for?" I asked changing the subject.
"You're a smart girl, figure it out."
"You'd be better off killing me, I'm not telling you anything."
"Maybe not willingly, Tora," He said.
"Did Gatti tell you my name?" I asked. He didn't Answer, he tossed me into the back of his guymelef, took the dagger, and hit me over the head with it. And this time, I did black out.

I woke once again on the cold floor of the cell. I knew he was there, standing behind me. Why is he always behind me? Why doesn't he stand in front?
"Why do you always put me in this cell?" I asked.
"Because this is your cell." He said.
"Then Why do you always stand behind me?" I asked, getting up.
"Because, I like it in the shadows," He said. I turned around to face him.
"Why do you bother if you know I'm not going to tell you anything?"
"Because I know you will eventually."
"You wanna know what I know?" I asked.
"Yes," he said.
"I know that I shouldn't be here locked in this cell. I should be at home doing my homework and playing video games. Not here where I have to try to escape and run 3 miles to accomplish nothing," I said.
"What were you going to do?" He asked.
" I was going to warn Van about your little capture Hitomi plan." His eyes widened, and he laughed.
"You deserve more credit then I gave you," He said still chuckling. I didn't say anything, just watched him laugh. His Silvery hair caught the candle light and his red, pinkish eyes were burning like fire. He's armor showed off the muscles in his chest, over all, he looked hot.
"Let me go," I demanded as soon as he stopped laughing.
"I'd rather not," He said. I was there in a flash, the heal of my foot smacked his jaw, and sent him tumbling backwards. "Shit," He said, he drew his sword and was ready to charge. "Don't ever do that again."
"Why, did it hurt?" I asked in a mocking tone. Dilandau dropped his sword and walked over to me. When He was close enough I tried to kick him, but he caught my foot, and some how maneuvered it so I was facing him, and was shoved up against the wall. His hands were holding mine against the wall by my head. He smiled the same way he had before he kissed me.
"Let me go," I said.
"Why, I like this game." he said.
"Then I quite," I said, and pushed him away. He had been so close to me. Was he playing with my mind? Doing all this just for kicks? I didn't know.
"Come one, Be a good girl," He said.
" I'd rather not," I responded. He smiled again I saw his eyes fall on something to the side of my head.
"Listen, on the count to three, I'm going to pull you off. Alright?" He asked, his eyes not leaving whatever was next to my head. I nodded. "One... Two.. Three." He pulled me off the wall and I saw what he was looking at when I turned around. A Black Widow Spider. The size of his Hand was right by my head.
"Oh my gosh," I said. " Dude!" I said and gave Dilandau a little push on the shoulder. "You just Saved my life!" I said. He looked at me and gave a half smile. Dilandau walked over to the spider and smashed it with his sword. Then he walked over to a corner and I could hear him doing something. Then he stepped back and Said "Bring the Uniform." Then he turned to Me and said, "Welcome to the Dragon Slayers." And a Man with a pile of folded clothes came in and gave then to me. I had just become a Dragon Slayer?
