Okay!!! Here's Chappie 17, no sayings today!
Chapter 17: Prisoner of a Mystic

The group waited in the throne room as Kai went to get Lavitz. Dart held onto Shantei's hand protectively while Aya was talking to Eli about how fathers are mean and evil. Dart of course didn't hear.

"Hey guys, I'm back." Kai and Lavitz walked into the large room where everyone was. Lavitz not wanting to talk leaned against the door frame and waited, Shana and Albert cast a worried glance over at him...he's been acting REALLY strange.

"So? What are we all here for?" Kai asked suddenly breaking the silence.

"To see if Shantei's DAD will let her come with us to Vellweb!" Aya huffed leaning against the wall like Lavitz. Dart glared over at the golden hair girl.

Lavitz was taken aback. Why was Dart acting like such a creep, but he did want to think Dart as the enemy.

"Dad, I wanna go! They need my help!" Shantei shouted pulling away from her father's grip. He wouldn't let go and even if Shan tried to stop Dart he would always tell her to back off.

"No...I won't let you get yourself hurt." And of course Shantei said. "NO!!! I don' wanna stay here, I have to help! Plus, my friends will protect me, Lavitz will protect me!! He's stronger then you!" she screamed.

Lavitz stared at her out of the corner of his eyes as Dart looked abruptly at Lavitz. "What...? Lavitz, did you bring this on her?" Dart asked a slight anger rising in his voice.

He didn't say anything.

"LAVITZ! Tell me now! Did you make her come with you?" Dart shouted out of anger and protection of his only daughter.

Shantei answered for Lavitz. "No! He didn't! Now can you please let me go so I can go to mom!!" she cried.

Dart let her go and glared at Lavitz...his ex-friend. "Why the hell are you going to Vellweb?" he hissed, causing everyone to look at Dart, his voice was never like this.

"None of your business..." Lavitz mumbled.

"WHAT! You say me not knowing where my child is going is none of my Business?" Dart yelled stomping up to Lavitz facing him.

"Yes, that's what I said. Dart I would back off...Shantei has more power then you think a normal five year old can handle..." he mumbled looking at Dart with his glowing green eyes turning slightly yellow.

Dart fell back as Lavitz's eyes changed from green to yellow, but only for a short period of time. "What...happened to you?" he managed as he stood up.

Shaking his head violently, Lavitz turned and half ran out of the room. Kai swore and ran after him and so did Albert. Aya and Shantei looked at each other and whispered.

"What's wrong with him?" Aya spoke revealing her trembling voice. "The demon...it wants to take control now..." Shantei whispered. Aya gasped.

Shana looked at the two girls and walked over. "Are you two alright?" she asked putting a hand on both their shoulders. Aya and Shantei looked at Shana with scared eyes and trembled.

"Their scared..." Eli's voice echoed over to the three.

Aya glanced at Eli and nodded. "We have to find Lavitz before something happens!" she cried getting up form the floor. "I don't care if that thing gets loose, I just want him to be alright!" she said her voice concealing anger for the Demon.

"What thing?" the others asked.

Shantei, Eli and Aya looked to the floor and sighed. "Long story..." Eli mumbled.
"STOP IT!" he yelled out holding both sides of his head and falling to his knees in pain. The demon was taking control...nothing could stop him. Lavitz started shaking as his mind felt like it would explode.

Kai and Albert had finally caught up with Lavitz and stopped in midtracks. Albert saw Lavitz in pain and yelled out. "LAVITZ!" he shouted running toward him but Kai stopped him.

"Don't, it might trigger it..." Kai mumbled stepping forward slowly.

"Make...i-it s-stop..." Lavitz managed in a cry.

Kai walked long but slow steps toward him. As soon as he was right behind him he laid a hand on Lavitz's shoulder. "Hey...Lavitz? You still there?" Kai asked cautiously.

Albert watched from where he stood his Dragoon Spirit ready. 'What's wrong with him?' he thought while gritting his teeth. "ALBERT!" Kai called behind him.

"What do you need?" he asked Kai as he walked over to the struggling Lavitz.

"I need your dragoon spirit. He's part Wind, so...if I can use the power like Miranda's I can help him." Kai took the handed Spirit from Albert and turned back to Lavitz and placed the stone directly over his neck.

The light shone though him, making it turn green then a black murky colour revealing a shadow. Albert and Kai gasped as Lavitz fainted and a ghostly figure rose from his body.

'Foolish mortals...I'll get you when the time comes...till then, I'd beware." The shadow of the demon went back into Lavitz body, making him hiss with pain.

"Aghh..." he groaned in pain as he rolled over. He breathed heavily as he tried to calm his mind. Kai and Albert looked at him with worried looks, while Aya, Shantei and Eli ran out.

"What happened?" Shantei yelled running to them.

Aya stared at Lavitz whose breathing was almost normal. She walked over to him and smiled. "You okay now?" she asked whispering to him.

He opened his eyes and stared at her. He nodded slowly but unsure of what happened just then. He thought a bit and mumbled, "What happened?" he asked.

The others looked him. "You don't remember?" Albert asked very confused. Kai stared at him and mumbled something under his breath. 'Slight memory loss...' he guessed.

"Well?" Albert asked again.

"I think slightly memory loss..." Kai mumbled repeating what was said in his mind. Lavitz stared at him then closed his eyes. 'Memory loss...' he thought.

Albert nodded. Eli placed a hand on Lavitz's forehead and a white aura surrounded both their bodies. "His mind is tired...we should stay the night here...just to rest up!" she said after the aura left.

Lavitz sat up and tried to stand but only tripped a bit, so Kai helped him steady himself. "Are you sure you don't remember anything?" Kai asked while the two walked.

Shaking his head Lavitz mumbled, "No...Nothing about running into the field...wait. Is Dart still here?" he asked suddenly.

"Yah, you don't want to see him...i could tell by the way you act now." Kai left Lavitz in his room and walked to his own room.

"Memory Loss...hmm..." Lavitz thought before he fell asleep on the bed.

: The next morning very early:

Walking quietly down the stairs to the door, Lavitz made sure nobody was following him like Dart and Miranda. Eli had come up to his room and told them where to meet in the morning so now he was on his way.

"Good morning!" Aya's voice beamed as she saw Lavitz come into view.

Shantei, Eli and Kai smiled. Lavitz was amazed they were up at 4:00 in the morning. "What are you doing up this early Lavitz?' Shantei asked slyly.

"Meeting you early kids here."

"Right...so! Let's go to Vellweb. Aya just received a night letter from Christopher and he said he was going to meet us there with his army." Kai thought a bit, and included. "He has new weapons for us too, specially made by the Ancient mystic!" he laughed in happiness.

"Aya? Your...not staying here?" Lavitz asked very confused as the girl was scared of him before.

"YESA! I'm not gonna let my fears make me lose a fight! My uncle is a very good fighter! He and I make a great team!" she exclaimed happily.

"Hehehe, I didn't tell my dad...but I did tell my mom. She understands..." Shantei told Lavitz as they half jogged to the cities entrance.

"Ahh...Shana was always nice." Lavitz said to Shantei about the past. Shantei smiled.

"Well! Let's go!" Eli cried running toward the mountain where Vellweb was and the group behind her.
: Vellweb:

"Look at this place..." Aya mumbled, grabbing onto Lavitz's cape.

"This is where the first Dragoons were located. Vellweb used to be a battle base and also, the 7 old Dragoons stayed here. They stayed up there in the tower all each had their own special rooms too. They say there's still one spirit living there."

Eli finished and walked up to the tower and placed a hand on it. So many memories, so many lives lost back then.

"Eli? You alright?" Kai asked walking up to her as the others looked around.

Eli looked up with tears in her eyes. "I'm just remembering the past Kai...my friends died in that battle..." she sounded upset now, so Kai thought of no other way to make her happy but to hug her.

"I'm sorry...you look like your eighteen but you're actually from the Dragon campaign. It must have been hard...but that was in the past, you shouldn't dwell on the past Eli..." he told her letting go.

She stared up into his crystal blue eyes and smiled. "Thanks Kai..." she hugged him again.

"No problem!" he laughed and took her hand while they caught up to the others.

"Where have ya been? Look!" Aya said smiling pointing up at her uncle's forces. The others gasped but Aya just jumped into Christopher's arms. "Uncle Christopher! Your back!" she giggled.

"Yes, but we have more important matters. Here...these are for you." He threw down 4 weapons and gave Aya her weapon from where he was.

Kai got a new Evisgled. Only with more power. Eli got a Zenisin Raijin, which was very powerful to her as she held it. Shantei held up two wonderfully made silver and sapphire daggers and smiled. Lavitz was surprised that Christopher had given him one as well, made with two long blades at each end with different language on the side with jade and emerald placed in it. Aya was giggling madly as she practiced with her spear, it was made of Ruby and Emerald and she was having the time of her life.

"Thank you."
: An Hour later:

"What's he doing?" Shantei asked Joseph. He looked at her and smiled. "Their training...all our kind do that when their bored."

"Don't they get tired?" she asked again.

"Nope...i think it might be because of our different power. Each Ancient Mystic is different, the elements, the world, the universe...we are all connected to it. The Earth Children. We evolved from Mystics, soon Aya will be one too...and she won't live in her forest anymore, but with us in our home, she is destined to live amongst the Ancient Mystics."

"So...when will she become one?"

Joseph chuckled. "When she obtains the Ultimate Magic...you see...she is the one who can handle the ultimate Magic, that's why the demon wants her...so he can destroy both at the same time!" he whispered in a serious tone.

Shantei's eyes went wide. "Do Aya and the others know this?" she stood up and looked toward where Aya, Lavitz and Christopher were having a conversation.

Joseph shook his head. "No...Only my father and the other Ancient Mystic. You better not tell her...she doesn't need to know yet. Promise?" he asked her staring into her eyes.

Shantei nodded. "Of course, I always keep my promises!" she laughed.

He only smiled at seeing her laugh. The wonderful laugh he had grown to love over the short time.

: Over by Aya:

"SO they probably come tonight?" she asked while sitting down on a rock. Lavitz and Christopher across from her.

"Yeah...we need to think of a plan though...they might be stronger. Gavv sometimes is in over his head and makes bad things come true..." Christopher explained.

"Dad doesn't need to do this! If I could only stop him..." she mumbled curling up into a ball.

"Hey...if my brother harms my niece then he's already picking a fight with me...I won't let him hurt you Aya." Aya snuggled into Christopher in a hug and smiled.

"Thanks..." she giggled.

While they were talking, Lavitz was staring up at the sky. The lightning in the back ground showed of a storm coming. "We'll be fighting in the rain..." he told the two on the rocks.

"Rain? Rain is our friend...it'll protect us!" Aya giggled. "Remember, my race is Earth Children. Mystic and Ancient Mystic too! Hehehe, good thing the rain is here."

"Yes...but, they have an advantage now too..." he murmured.

Christopher looked up at the sky and gasped. "EVERYONE! GET READY!" he shouted. There they were...the Mystics lead by Gavv all with hatred hearts and evil weapons. High in the sky waiting for the battle to begin.

"Dad..." Aya whispered, Lavitz looked at her with a solemn look. "Don't let your heart tell you what to do..." he told her while standing beside her. "It will only create a disaster and could destroy you between family and friends... stick to your mind and plan, and don't back down."

Aya looked up at him as the rain started to fall and the lightning crash. She nodded and smiled. "Right..." she said before getting her weapon out as the other three moved up beside them.

"Time to kick some butt!" Eli shouted taking out the Zenisin Raijin and getting into stance just as Kai and Shantei pulled out their weapons as well. Christopher's forces came up in the sky behind the group of five. Sky attack was for the top group and ground was for the bottom group.

Gavv snickered. "Hehehe, brother I can't believe your helping them! HAHAHAHA! Oh well...You four down there. I have a little surprise for you." Gavv waved a hand and four figures popped up in front of the group on the ground.

"My...Aeois warriors... Kain...Mercia...Endira...and Izsuri. You'll have your own battles with them, and Lavitz...your my opponent!" Gavv laughed and powered up.

Kain who was biggest took on Eli. His jet black hair was plastered against his face as his body seemed to enlarge. His arms were muscular and in one hand he held a lightning ball, in the other a Devingald. The weapon looked like a Devinglad but it was bigger and it was an axe instead of a sword.

"Great..." Eli hissed looking at him with golden eyes.

Mercia took on Shantei who was twirling her daggers. His face resembled King Albert's but the muscles proved it that it wasn't him. He stood at about 6'1'' and Shantei backed up a bit. He had red blazing hair and his eyes looked like black diamonds. The weapon he had was tempting to fall under its spell but Shantei knew better.

"This is my fight to win...!" she smirked and got into stance.

Aya had Endira. She had met this woman before when she was little but now Endira seemed different. Kind happy green eyes turned into poisonous dark olive eyes. Her hair was a radiant purple, but now it was a dark, dark red. Taking out her Spear Endira took out her Zemisia. A most powerful staff of evil. When Aya stared at her eyes had welled up with tears but she had to remember what Lavitz had said.

"I will have to fight you Endira..." Aya mumbled to herself.

Kai was gonna have a great time fighting a girl. Izsuri smiled as Kai brung out his Evisgled and held it up. Izsuri whipped her long Dark Blue hair out of her face and her black eyes glowed with evil. She seemed like a pretty girl, but Kai saw right thought he disguise.

"Who cares if you a girl...I will defeat you..." he shouted to Izsuri with anger.
Once the battle had started; the Ancient Mystics were already winning with their battles. Many Mystic fell to the first attack and many were injured, Christopher and Joseph were the lead.

Gavv had brung his battle away from the group, Lavitz suspected something. "Why are you bringing this battle away from the others?" he asked while dodging a blow to the head.

"You'll see demon-boy!" Gavv shouted kicking Lavitz hard in the face, sending the Ex-Knight to the ground.

Standing up and whipping the blood off of his lips Lavitz chuckled. "You really think I'll let that thing loose in MY body?" he asked smirking. He brung his new spear and slashed it across Gavv's chest in a five way combo.

"Darkwind blaze!" he shouted sending him flying into the rocks and landing on his bottom blood seeping from the wound. Lavitz looked at him with no sympathy.
Aya jumped out of the way of a magic attack and noticed Lavitz standing before her fallen father. She wanted to cry out, but remembered what Gavv ha done. She snapped back into life and dodged another blow. She countered with a deathblow.

"Blossom Twister!!!" she yelled creating a twister and spinning her Spear above her head and attacking Endira with the full force of the earth.

Endira fell to the ground and gasped for breathe. Her body glowed and she returned to normal, but with tears in her eyes. "Aya...I-I'm sorry...G- Gavv, h-he's controlling us...you have t-to set them free...i thank you as well..." Endira whispered between gasps of life, and slowly died.

"Endira...We will free them...I promise!" Aya cried as her tears fell to the ground. She silently made a prayer as the others kept fighting.
Shantei and Eli had teamed up to fight their opponents who were obviously bigger then them. Eli blasted with magic at Kain who was bouncing everything off his hand. Nothing got though to him.

Shantei ducked as the spell sword slashed form her head. She smiled a crooked smiled. "Aren't we a little hostile?" she asked him before receiving a magic blow sending her back.

"AHH!!!" she cried hitting the ground with a hard thud. "You jerk!! You'll pay for that!" she shouted jumping up as a white glow surrounded her body. "I'll teach you! Crescent Shadow!" she shouted sending a wave of light and dark attacks dissolving and destroying Mercia.

Eli laughed as Shantei did this, not noticing a blow aimed from her. Shantei looked up and gasped. "ELI! MOVE!" she screamed running toward her.

Turning around Eli flew back into the mountain wall with a crunch. "ELI!" Shantei screamed running toward her. She kneeled beside her friend as tears fell down her face. "Eli? Eli? Wake up!" she cried checking for a pulse.

"I-Im alright..." Eli smiled opening her eyes. He face was now blooded and so was her shirt. She had numerous slashes and cuts on her and was bleeding heavily.

"We need to get you help...here, drink this!" Shantei gave Eli a healing fog, but it only worked so she wasn't bleeding anymore. Eli was till weak. "Can you sit up?" she asked while turning her head to see Kain walking toward them.

"Yeah...hey Shantei...go get him!" Eli smiled as she sat up against the wall. Shantei nodded and attacked Kain, who was unsuspecting it. His body surged with a white energy exploding him.

Shantei landed on the ground huffing a puffing. The sadness in her eyes was cleared and now she smiled. Eli smiled as well as she healed herself.
Kai brung his sword down upon Izsuri. She dodged and laughed. "You think a little boy like you can fight me?" she laughed again, sending anger though Kai's heart.

"Shut-up and fight PANSY LADY!" he shouted. She stopped laughing and stared a Kai with total disgust. "Why you little brat!" she screamed attack him, he smirked and moved out of the way.

"Lady got a scratch?" he asked sarcastically. She was really pissed off now, she lunged at him like a cat but just before she landed on him, Kai brung up his sword again.

It went right though her stomach, as she fell her last words were, "Demion Secita... (You are powerful)" She fell to the ground dead. Kai gave her a solemn look and ran toward Shantei and Eli.
"Do you give up?" Lavitz asked while staring at Gavv's bleeding form. Laughing insanely Gavv smirked at Lavitz. "Why don't you just kill me? Hahaha, then maybe the Demon will leave!" he chuckled one of those evil laughs.

Lavitz stared at him with disgust and hate. "Tell me...why did the demon choose me?" he asked, picking his words carefully.

Staring at Lavitz with total black eyes he smiled with fangs forming. "I told you to kill me...boy. You have lost your chance...!" with that said, Gavv leaped up into the sky forming a ball full of dark energy.

"What!!!" Lavitz yelled out as he looked up into the sky. With the dark energy surrounding him he couldn't move anywhere. 'Let me free!!!' the demon's voice screeched within Lavitz's mind.

Gritting his teeth he braced himself just as it touched him. Fully engulfing him, Lavitz shouted in pain. The dark energy filling him with evil and sending him to the sky.

"AHHHHHHHHH!!!!" Lavitz yelled as the evil pierced his body with all its hatred. Aya looked up and so did the others. "LAVITZ!!!" Aya cried.

Christopher turned around to see the energy head for him and the other finding new victims. "EVERYONE! MOVE!!" he yelled flying down and grabbing Aya and Joseph grabbing Shantei while Eli and Kai flew away into the sky away form the magic.

Screams and cries of horror and pain were heard all though Vellweb as the magic engulfed everyone who was on the ground, Gavv's men and Christopher's men alike. The ones in the air stared down at their dying comrades with wide eyes.

Aya and Shantei closed their eyes as the tears flowed. "Make him stop!!!" Aya cried putting her face into Christopher's cloak.

: Inside the Dark Magic:

Lavitz's eyes closed as the pain of Darkness reached his body. The others around him dying...but not him. 'What's happening to me!!!' his mind cried out.

"My world will soon engulf you...YOU...will be my slave." The Demon appeared in front of Lavitz with fangy teeth forming a smile. "You WILL fall...BOY!" he screeched.

Clutching his head Lavitz yelled out. "UAGHHHH!!!!" The magic on the outside became a greenish white colour, as soon as it disappeared a body floated slowly to the ground.

Lavitz.

Eli, Aya, Shantei and Kai's eyes went wide as their friend lied lifeless on the ground. Aya screamed running to him with Christopher and Eli behind him. Shantei was too much in tears while Joseph held her and Kai thought that he didn't need to go.

"Lavitz...Lavitz!" Aya cried as she knelt beside his body. Eli placed a hand on his chest and waited for a heart beat... "He's still alive Aya!" she smiled. Aya looked at Eli and up into the sky as she heard laughing.

"Dad!" she yelled as she saw him. Jet black ragged long hair. Red eyes and dark blue skin. 3/4th's Demon. "Oh my god!" she cried.

He smiled and waved a hand above the ground where Lavitz's body laid. "I'll be taking him with me...Bring the Ultimate Magic if you want him alive..." Gavv hissed in a demonic voice not his own.

Just as he said that a black whip like tentacle came out of the ground as a few more did as well. The others back off as they wrapped themselves around Lavitz and pulling him under.

"NO!" Aya screamed and jumped for his hand. But she was too late.

The others could only watch as Gavv laughter filled the place with evil and horror just before he disappeared.

The rain fell as Aya sat shocked with knees on the ground staring at the ground where Lavitz was. Shantei was still crying into Joseph's shirt, while Eli and Kai were huddled in a corner.

Christopher placed a hand on Aya's shoulder. "Why...him..." she managed before turning around and crying.

"I don't know..." was all he could say.
