The Mysterious Outcasts
Chapter 6 - Raid
By Kiela Stargaze
"How could that be!?" Kento screamed when he saw that the monstrosity was not even at its disadvantage.
"It's not even scorched," Cye commented apprehensively.
I don't understand! Why wasn't it even touched? Ryo thought desperately as he looked around the battleground. He saw Sage and Rowen looking bewildered, and saw that Cye and Kento's eyes bulged out with fear.
Something washed over him that made him feel weak. Something was happening to Ja'Dee and Renée. What could have happened?
"Guys, we gotta get to Ja'Dee and Renée as soon as we can!" Ryo shouted toward the others. Rowen and Sage nodded as Cye and Kento looked at each other and nodded.
"Hey Ryo, why don't you three go, me and Cye got it covered. I'm sure we can defeat this ugly creature by the time you get to Ja'Dee and Renée. We'll meet you later!"
"Kento! Are you sure you can handle it?" Rowen asked concernedly. Kento nodded, not verbally speaking, for his thoughts were mainly on charging forward. He did just as he had planned it in his mind and ran toward the creature. The creature let out a snigger and got ready for the onslaught. Kento barely had any time to react when the creature let out a shriek and ran up to Kento, caught onto his armor, and threw him into a big boulder.
"Kento!" he heard his friends shout out.
"Aaahh!" cried Kento when he hit the boulder headfirst. The boulder collapsed from the impact and rubble flung all around Kento. He sat up after that and shook his head, closing his eyes, "Man, my helmet won't stop ringing." He groaned out as he held his helmet for a bit. He heard Cye yell out to Rowen and them to get out of here so that they can go and save Ja'Dee and Renée, for he now felt something. Ryo and the guys nodded and went to their rescue.
"Who's there?!" screamed a puzzled Sigonia, as she looked around the darkened temples of the forest. Lights flashed in every corner, myriad of colors: green, red, and dark blue landed upon the ground in a dazzling spectacular. Ja'Dee was awed to see who was in the light that fired up. When the light died down, Ja'Dee gasped from under the ugly creature, for it was three figures in armor with there faceplates down? 'What is going on here?' Ja'Dee thought questioningly, looking puzzled more than ever. 'Who are those people? They look so familiar, but where did I see them before?' she pondered as she watched the new static play itself out.
The red armored figure looked toward Ja'Dee and gasped, "Ja'Dee? Are you alright?"
His voice was so familiar. Ja'Dee was taken aback by how he knew her name, but nodded a little to relieve the look of concern his eyes said all together. She looked at him with amazement the most. He looked so familiar. Why? Was her question that flooded through her memory bank as it searched for an answer that never came. She totally forgot about the beast upon her and started to struggle to get out of its undesired hold. She gasped and screamed as the monstrosity growled and picked its head up, letting out a terrible screech that made night birds flee from their nights rest.
"Don't move!" the beast hissed upon its screech of terror. "I'll k-kill you if y-you move again!!"
'I got to do something.' Ja'Dee thought desperately as she tried getting up once more, this time with a little more effort with her legs and feet, even though the brown decomposing skin flaked and slime drooled down her feet and legs. 'Ugh! What a gross sediment.'
"I t-t-told you not t-t-to m-move," the monstrosity screeched as it let out a horrible yell of pure evil. It lowered its head to look into Ja'Dee's eyes and what she saw in them were blank pools of darkness and nothing more. It was like looking into a big pool of black smoke that protruded from the fire blazing down below. She saw no soul, just evil. Evil is what she could describe it to be. This creature really didn't have a soul, because if it did, then it would be able to have a conscious. But this soulless creature wasn't about to even have a conscious with the look of pure amoral ways that put terror in Ja'Dee's eyes.
Ja'Dee picked her feet up with all her might to lift the horrible creature off of her body. She groaned at the weight but finally managed to slip from its grip. She slithered from its grasp and rolled over to her right. She managed to run toward the people, who looked so familiar, but the monstrosity caught her right leg and she stumbled to the ground. The creature then flipped her around for her to face him. But she threw dirt in the six pairs of eyes, making it cover his eyes with its claws and having her a chance to escape, but like many things, nothing can go right. Ja'Dee again felt the claws grab her legs and beamed her down with its cold eyes of hatred.
She gasped when she looked up to see the creature beaming down upon her again, lifting its big claw and shifting it down hard onto the back of her left shoulder. She screamed when she felt the claws slash through her skin and into her bones, she could hear and feel the pain that shivered down her body as he broke her shoulder blade in half. She let out an ear-piercing scream that echoed throughout the forest.
"Ja'Dee!" the red warrior ran as fast as he could to get the foul creature off Ja'Dee.
The others shouted for him to stop, for a bright light penetrated through the forest coming for the red warrior. By the time he tried to dodge the upcoming blow, it flung him into many trees and boulders of sorts. The green warrior ran toward the red warrior, but Sigonia suddenly appeared in front of him with baneful laugher that set an edge down the green warrior's back.
"And where do you think you are goin Halo?" Sigonia laughed at the surprised face of Halo. "Or shall I call you Sage of the Halo."
Ja'Dee looked up from her pained filled eyes. Sage? She thought as she wondered what was meant by what Sigonia had said. Pain overfilled her and blurred her vision. She tried to stay awake, but the pain was so overbearing that she fell into unconsciousness.
"Yeah, what's it to you!" shouted Sage of Halo through clenched teeth. "And who are you!"
"Oh," she laughed sinisterly, "I am soooo sorry, please forgive me, my name is Sigonia, Lady of Magick and Wicked, Wicked Ways! And you ronin are gonna die right about NOW!" Sigonia flew toward him, with her sword pointed toward his heart. Sage readied for the attack, but he gasped when she disappeared. He looked all around, trying to sense her, but he could not. Where is she? Why can't I feel her? he asked himself. He closed his eyes to concentrate on finding Sigonia. He finally felt her presence and took his sword and swung it to the left where his blade found hers just in time. Sigonia flew over him again and landed a foot away, narrowing her eyes with a sly smile.
"Very good Halo," Sigonia congratulated, slipping her cloak off and throwing it onto the ground to the right, "Now the real battle begins."
"Fine," Sage said as he readied himself by getting into a fighting position. "Let's do this!"
The dark blue warrior ran toward the red warrior, who was just getting up from the rubble.
"Ryo, are you all right, buddy?" asked the dark blue warrior.
"Yeah, just a little out of it," Ryo said as he looked around, "Rowen, where's Sage?"
"He's fighting the new dynasty warlady chick, Sigonia's her name, I think."
"What about Ja'Dee and Renée?"
"I don't know where Renée is, but Ja'Dee is still underneath that nasty creature and I think her shoulder blade is broken from the creature's blow." Rowen informed.
Ryo nodded and tried getting up. He was a little weak from the impact, but from the look of determination, he could make it. Rowen helped him up and looked toward the creature that held a now unconscious Ja'Dee underneath it and then saw Sigonia and Sage duke it out.
"How are we ever gonna help them?" Rowen asked with concern.
"I don't know, but we must find a way or Ja'Dee and Renée will surely die."
Sage and Sigonia were just standing there, waiting for one to make the slightest movement. Their eyes were locked on each others, waiting for that one movement. The moment was so tense that it made Sage sweat and tend to lose his balance. That slightest movement would have ended his life if he were not locked on his target's transit as well. Their swords clanged with static roaring after every lock that they managed to get.
Sigonia jumped back huffing, this was harder than she thought. He's good. She thought with a bloodthirsty smile, But not good enough! She yelled out something and ran as fast as the speed of light, ramming into Sage, making him fly into a big cherry blossom tree.
"Pathetic! I thought you were more spiritual that that, Halo." She said with a sneer. She walked up to Sage and sat down on his chest. She licked her lips as she put her blade upon his neck. "This shall be a sweet essence toward Master Talpa's victory."
Sage's eyes became wide with fear, but before he could answer, she replied for him, "Yes, he is my sweet little Halo, I wish that I can ravish on you because you so cute and handsome, but I must do what my master bids me to do." She laughed as her dark green eyes became blood red. "Buh-bye Halo,"
"I don't think so, Sigonia!" a voice hovered toward the right of her in the forest trees.
Sigonia looked up and her eyes became wide with dismay. "I thought you were dead!" she squeaked.
"No, I am not! Thanks to you, I've remembered who I am, but in a different body." The figure smirked. Sigonia backed off, even her blade left Sage's neck, which of course was a relief on Sage's part.
"This isn't over, wench!" Sigonia said just before disappearing. Sage was shocked. What in the world just happened? Who was that voice and why did Sigonia look so frightened?
"Cye, buddy! Are ya alright?" Kento asked concernedly to his friend who just got thrown into a tree.
"I'll be alright when that creature is defeated." Cye said as he got up with the help of Kento. He looked at his friend's concerned face that hardened. "Kento, I am okay. Let's get this freak!"
"Right on!" Kento agreed. "Together!"
"Yeah!" Cye yelled, "Super Wave Smasher!
"Iron Rock Crusher!"
Both of their attacks hit the creature, this time hitting their mark and even damaged some of its claws, but it still was not on its disadvantage.
"Damn it!" shouted Kento with frustration. The creature yelled out and charged at the two boys. They were already worn out from firing their attacks so much. This time the creature let out a screech with a power surge that came out heading straight for the two. Kento rammed into Cye for to protect him when the blast would hit, but to their surprise, the blast never came. They looked up to see that the creature was gone, no where to be seen except charred remain. They got up and look at each other questioningly.
Ryo and Rowen were trying hard to fend off the creature off of Ja'Dee, but as much as they tried, it was harder than trying to convince Kento he couldn't eat anything more. All of a sudden there was a huge light that penetrated toward the creature. In a matter of seconds, it was decapitated and charred remain flew in the wind. They too were in questions when Ryo noticed a strand of blondish brown hair flicker in the wind behind a tree.
"How could that be!?" Kento screamed when he saw that the monstrosity was not even at its disadvantage.
"It's not even scorched," Cye commented apprehensively.
I don't understand! Why wasn't it even touched? Ryo thought desperately as he looked around the battleground. He saw Sage and Rowen looking bewildered, and saw that Cye and Kento's eyes bulged out with fear.
