Delicious Torment
Ch 14
"Kento, Kaye, Sian...NO," Cye yelled in shock, and then his shock turned into anger as he looked over at Dante. "You'll pay for that! Super Wave Smasher!"
The others quickly glanced at each other and then followed suit with their sure-kills. "Fools, don't you realize what you're doing? Wha? I don't believe it, they're, they're breaking through, but how's that possible?" Dante asked in shock.
"Keep it up, we're almost through!" Rowen exclaimed as they turned it up a notch. With that sudden burst, the energy wall broke.
"I think that it's time for me to take my leave." Dante thought as he vanished.
"Dante, come back here!" Ryo yelled out angrily.
"Huh? Ryo, our armor, it's..." Sage started to say as their armors began to resonate.
"Then that means they're still alive." Cye replied with somewhat of a relief.
"Warlords, go out and find them. They couldn't have gone far." Talpa ordered as he disappeared from the throne room.
"Well then Ronins, it looks like it's going to be a race between you, us and Dante to finding your friends. I wonder who'll find them first." Anubis said with a cruel smile as he and the other warlords vanished.
"We have to find them before they do." Cye said.
"Then what are we standing around here for? Let's go." Ryo replied as they ran out of Talpa's castle.
Not too far away...
"Please, please be all right." Sian thought as he pulled them out of the water. Sian watched them anxiously to see if they would give him some sort of sign that they were still alive.
Sian quickly knelt down low to the ground as soon as he heard footsteps approaching. "Check over there, they couldn't have gotten far!" a Dynasty solider ordered. Sian stayed low to the ground, battle ready in case they came their way. Just as Sian was about to attack, they've turned around and headed into a different direction. He watched them go, making sure that they didn't double back.
Then suddenly he heard coughing from behind him. He turned around and saw that Kento and Kaye were both starting to come around. He quickly ran over to them and knelt down. "Hey, you two gave me quite a scare. Are you all right?" Sian asked as he looked over them with concern.
"Been better, Sian, promise me something." Kento replied.
"Yea sure, anything." Sian said.
"Next time that we decide to go and fall out of a building, that we either have a bungee cord or a parachute, ok." Kento replied with a small smirk.
Sian gave a small chuckle, "sure dad, I promise. Hey, can the two of you walk," Sian asked as he got between them to help them up. "Because, we have to get a move on, everyone is out looking for us. We need to find a hiding place so you two can recoup while I go out and search for the others."
"Sian, we don't have any intention to hide, while you're out there searching for the guys. We have to stay together, isn't that right, Kaye," Kento asked as he looked over to her. "Kaye?"
Kaye quickly turned her back on them, and then walked over to a nearby tree. "Mom," Sian replied in concern as he walked over to her and laid his hand onto her shoulder. "What's wrong? Why won't you say anything?"
"What do you want me to say, Sian?" Kaye asked as she kept her back to him.
"I don't know, something, anything," Sian replied. "Please, mom."
"Sian, for once, I don't know what to say." Kaye said as she turned to face him.
"I do." Kento replied as he hurried over to them.
"Oh yea and what's that?" Sian asked as he raised an eyebrow at him.
"We've got company!" Kento replied as a group of arrows imbedded themselves close to where they're standing.
In Toyama...
"Why don't you just give yourself up, Jakobe? I'll go easier on you." Taki said as he ducked away from jakobe's last kick.
"Don't insult me, detective." Jakobe replied as he blocked Taki's punches.
"I guess you're right, if you gave up, then where would be the fun in that?" Taki said with a smirk.
"Exactly." Jakobe replied as he noticed that someone he knew was waiting in the shadows. Just then Jakobe jumped up and kicked the desk right into Taki's path and then took off.
"Oh no you don't!" Taki exclaimed as he jumped onto the desk and started to chase Jakobe. But just as Taki was about to jump off of it, something hit him in his shoulder. Taki fell from the desk and landed on his hands and knees. As soon as Jakobe knew that everything was taken care of, he started to walk back towards Taki. Taki was having a hard time keeping his eyes open, he looked up and there was Jakobe standing above him with another person standing with an air gun next to him.
"Sorry about that detective. But I couldn't let you take me back to prison. I knew that you would figure it out that I would come back here sooner or later. So I had the good doctor shoot you with a sedative. Don't worry; you'll be out for a few days. I'm not done with you yet; we still have a score to settle. But first, I have some unsettled business to take care of." Jakobe said as Taki finally fell to the floor unconscious.
Back in the Dynasty...
"Kento? Kento, why don't you answer me?" Ryo asked telepathically.
"Ryo?" Rowen asked as they were still looking.
"Nothing. I don't get it. Why can't I sense him? It's like he's not even in the Dynasty any
more." Ryo replied in a worried tone.
"Then where are they? We know that they're alive." Cye asked.
"Hey guys, over here." Sage replied as he spotted something.
"Whoa, what happened here?" Ryo asked as they were surveying the area. The whole area was covered in broken arrows, pieces of Dynasty soldiers laying everywhere.
"Guys, take a look at this." Rowen replied as he called them over.
"Rowen, that's not what I think it is?" Cye asked as he and the others got a sudden sick to the feeling in their stomachs.
"Yea, I'm afraid that's exactly what it is, Cye." Rowen replied as he stood up. What they saw were a few different areas where small pools of blood have formed.
"No, it can't be, it can't be! I won't believe it! They have to be here, Kento, Kaye, Sian!
Where are you!?" Cye yelled out.
"Yell all you like, Torrent, they won't answer," a voice said from behind them.
"Sekhmet! What have you done? Where are they?" Ryo asked angrily.
"Unfortunately, Wildfire, we didn't do anything. They were taken just before we got here." Anubis replied.
"Who, who took them, where?" Sage asked as he was starting to get angry.
"You Ronins are rather dense, think about it for a second. Who else would have a motive to take them?" Dais replied.
"Dante." Rowen replied as he finally realized it.
"It looks like Strata is the only one of you that actually has a brain." Dais taunted.
"Shut up!" Ryo shot back.
"Such hostility, I guess that you don't know what you want us to tell you what we saw. So we'll be leaving now." Cale said as they turned their backs on them and started to leave.
"Wait! Why will you be so willing to tell us what happened? What's in it for you?" Sage asked.
The warlords stopped and then turned around, "nothing, we just want him to pay for making us look like fools in front of master Talpa." Anubis replied.
"So then, this is about your pride." Ryo said as he glared at him.
"Look, either you let us tell you what we saw, or you can just let your friends die." Sekhmet replied.
"Ok, you win, so now tell us what did you see?" Cye asked anxiously.
"Just as we got here, the battle that your friends were fighting wasn't exactly going well.
Dante some how got the better of them, he was too fast to see how he did it. Then he opened up a portal and took them through it with him." Cale replied as he explained what took place.
"Then that means he could have went back to Toyama. But how can we get back? It's not like a portal is just going to open up in front of us." Sage said in annoyance.
"You were saying," Dais replied with a smirk on his face as he opened up a portal. "Well, are you going through it or not?"
"What do you guys think, should we trust them?" Ryo asked.
"We don't exactly have a choice here, Ryo, we have to." Cye replied as they turned their
attention towards the warlords and the opened portal.
"What's your answer?" Cale asked as he looked at them.
"We're going." Sage replied as they finally went through the portal.
"Dais, do you think that was wise?" Sekhmet asked as the portal closed behind them.
"How about I ask you this, and you tell me if I thought if that was wise? Don't you think that it would be better if Dante took care of the Ronins, instead of us?" Dais asked back.
"Yes, I see, then once Dante takes care of them, then nothing will be in our way for us and master Talpa to take over the world." Sekhmet replied.
"Exactly." Dais said as they disappeared.
