Chapter 3
-_-_-_-_-_-
"Are your sure about this Jenna? What if they catch onto us!?" Sheba asked, sounding nervous.
"We just have to trust them and ourselves Sheba. We can make it. After all, if we can defeat Karst and Agatio at the Jupiter Lighthouse, then we can help a couple slaves escape." Jenna said, trying to convince Sheba to follow her plan.
Sheba nodded, and asked a question. "Do the others know?"
"Nope." Jenna winked. "But the slaves we resue will have to come with us."
"So they are coming with us, and the others don't know about it? How are we gonna explain that to them?" Sheba said. She looked extremely worried now.
"Relax Sheba. We'll take care of that when the time arrives. What matters is that they escape. The celebration will happen any day now, I think tomorrow. So we just have to wait."
"How do we know we can trust them?"
"Don't worry so much Sheba. Everything will be ok."
*_*_**__*
It had grown dark. Many people had gathered outside. And a bonfire had been started. All gathered around it. Sharing its warmth, and light. And many were celebrating.
Jenna was watching. Sheba looked nervous. The others looked at them. Then Ivan mind read Sheba, and had a look on his face.
"WHAT?!?" He cried out, sounding shocked.
"What is it Ivan?" Felix asked.
Ivan went to explain what Jenna and Sheba had planned, and they all had the same reaction as Ivan. "What are you thinking?" They all exclaimed to Jenna and Sheba.
"They need out help! You can't deny that!" Jenna exclaimed. Isaac sighed.
"I guess we're going to have to help them now. We were sort of coming up with our own plan Jenna. But I guess this would work." He started. Jenna grinned, and narrowed her eyes.
"But the ship isnt' fixed yet. How are we going to get them out of here with us, if our ship can't even sail?" He asked. They all realized this, and then looked in the boats direction.
"That's right. It isn't fixed." Garet said, as he turned to the village. "I guess some of us will have to start repairs right now." He added, and then everyone turned to him.
"I think I know who is going then. . . " Garet said, as he turned to walk to the ship.
"I'll go help Garet." Isaac said, as he went after his friend.
"What do we do now?" Ivan asked. Jenna looked at him.
"We use our plan now. We're going to set them free." Jenna said, making her mouth curve upward, and she narrowed her eyes again. They knew she meant it when she looked like this.
~ a bit later ~
Venus looked from their cell. She saw shadows. She nudged Neried. Her companion looked up. Venus moved her head in one direction, which lead to outside the cell. Neried looked.
And she saw Jenna with Felix.
Jenna whispered to them when she got close enough. "Hi you two. Are you guys ready?" They both nodded, and then Felix came up to the bars. He took out his sword, and slashed at them.
And they were cut off. Neried flinched, and opened one eye. Then she opened the other one, as she stepped out. She looked around nervously.
"Are you all right Neried?" Venus asked her. Neried nodded, and then Venus relaxed. "Lets get going then." She mumbled. Felix took the lead, as they walked quietly through.
Then they emerged from the room. In the fire light. They looked around. No one had noticed them coming from there. Neried gave a nervous sigh. They tipped towed over to Ivan, Sheba and Piers.
"These are the ones you were planning on rescuing?" Piers asked. Jenna and Sheba nodded. "Good. Now lets get out of here." He added, and then they walked away, quietly.
Then Neried started to move a little faster. "Whats wrong Nereid?" Sheba asked. Nered pointed to the fire. "What about it?"
She made the one symbol, and then made the sign for missing. "One of them is missing from the fire?" Venus said. Nereid nodded. Venus' eyes grew wide.
"We gotta get outta here NOW!" Venus whispered, and then grabbed Neried, and then ran past the others. The others looked toward the fire. And then Sheba had a strange feeling.
"We're being watched!" She exclaimed, quietly. Ivan and Piers nodded, and then all ran to the outside of the village. The man who was watching them looked in their direction. He got up, and dissapeared in a puff of smoke.
"We made it to the ship!" Mia exclaimed, after Venus got them all to run to the ship without stopping. They all panted.
"Something is coming close!" Ivan cried out. And then he got blasted back by a blue beam of psynergy. They all looked where it came from, and saw a man with red eyes, brown hair, and green clothes.
"So, you decide to take some of our slaves. What have we done to get this treatement?" The man said, crossing his arms.
Jenna glared at him with her worst look(worst look as in, her most angry look) She then yelled at him.
"WHAT DID YOU DO?!? YOU captured some INNOCENT people and MADE them do YOUR work FOR you!! It disgusts me! And what do you mean, our?" She yelled, at the top of her lungs at him, and he flinched.
"We did NOT do that to them! We only did it to one of them! One of the was BORN into slavery!" The man cried out. He glared at Neried. And she hid herself behind Venus, and she was shaking.
"That's right. The mute one." The man said, turning back to Jenna. "And her mother died soon after, so we took care of her. Our way, of course. She was pretty much worth NOTHING!" he said, and he pointed to Neried. Tears of truth flowed from her eyes.
"Well, she is coming with US!" Jenna exclaimed. The man looked at her, his eyes growing hard, and cold.
"Well then, I guess you leave me no choice." He said, as he pulled out a trident. Garet pulled out his Gaia Blade, and begun the battle immediately. He swung his sword over head, and almost hit his opponent in the head.
Almost.
He dodged the attack, and hit Garet full force in the stomach, sending him flying. He flew back into the ship, and nearly broke it again. Jenna gasped, and tried to run to him. Felix held her back. She looked up at him, and grunted at the man who had attacked them.
Venus then grabbed Garet's fallen sword, and lifted it above her head. She closed her eyes. The sword began to glow a light brown. She then opened her eyes, and then cast Ragnorak on the man. He barely managed to dodge it.
"How can we defeat him if he keeps dodging our attacks?" Jenna thought to herself, as she watched Venus do it again, and again.
Nereid then lifted her hands, and closed her eyes. She began to glow a light blue, and then water came to her. It followed her every movement. She opened her eyes, and then she moved her hands like she was weilding a sword. The water moved in that direction, and blasted the man, full force, and he crashed in a pile of boulders.
He barely managed to get up, and he was bleeding from his eye. Sheba looked grossed out, and had that look on her face. The man pulled up his weapon, and tried one final attempt at an attack.
He failed.
"Oh no you DON'T!" Isaac cried out, as he pulled out one of his djinn. Flint. The djinni began to glow, and Isaac lept at his opponent, with Flints strength flowing through him. And that ended his opponents life.

Piers: That was long too. Do you always make your chapters long?
MA: Yep^_^
