Chapter 15; Death is not a factor

Unknown place

"Yes, death does come for us all… and today it beckons you… and in your death shall our city live!" the stag type shouted to his troops. The two soldiers that were restraining me dropped me to my knees, I fell on to my side as every thing started to go black, it was a horrible feeling, lonely, cold, and dark. The last thing I saw was a trickle of silver Bio-Metal stream over the sand, and the last thing I heard was Keyumou yelling.

The pain, it was horrible…

                  Excruciating…

                                     Agonizing…

                                              It felt like I just wanted to give up…

                                     But giving up was not an option…

                  Something forced me to fight, an invisible force, it pulled me back, from the brink of death…

"Now, the world shall know, that we are the supreme race!" the stag type shouted. The voices got louder and louder, and turned in to cheering, I opened my eyes, every one was jumping about cheering for the stag type, no one had noticed that I was slowly regenerating. The pain was still unbearable, I held the sword that was in my chest with one hand, and with the other I felt around my back, the sword had exited out of my back, it was horrific. This was possibly the worst thing that has ever happened to me. "Once we obtain the Athenry shard, witch is rightfully ours! We will demolish the other capitol!"  

"No! You wont get away with this!" I heard Keyumou shout

"And what hopes do you have of stopping me? You friend lays dead, and so does your army! You have no hope!" the stag type shouted. I slowly pulled the sword out, but with every pull pain shot though me, I tried to keep from yelling in pain but it became so immeasurable that it was a reflex. So with one sharp pull I wrench the sword out and let out a scream of unspeakable pain. The stag type turned and looked down as I through the sword to one side, the stag type was horror-struck "Impossible…"

I stumbled to my feet while holding my wound "…N-nothings… impossible…" I spluttered, then an even worse pain than the one before ensued, and that same feeling that I just wanted to let go crept over me again, I fell to my knees and cradled my chest in my arms as the pain got worse and worse, but this time I didn't fight it, I couldn't, I didn't know what was happening to me. It was more than a pain, much more but it was unexplainable. And again every thing went black…

…When I woke up I found my self in a room laying on a work surface, bright lights above me, I had no clue where I was. Three figures lent over me, I couldn't see who they were, because of the bright lights in my eyes. "Where am I? Am I dead?" I asked the three shadowed out figures, they talked between them self's for a few seconds.

"No you are far from death…" One of them answered, the lights went out and the three figures were revealed, Zenriha, Baatezu and Alzar stood over me. I remembered something and it all became so clear to me now, when Alzar was not allowed on the council in a previous dream I had and I was, he was furious at me, possibly so mad that he would try and kill me, but he wasn't strong enough to do it on his own, so he had me sent in to a battle that I couldn't possibly win.

"You… you conniving little rat!" I shouted as I sat up, Alzar moved away a little bit.

"Naoki, what is this all about?" Baatezu asked, I jumped off the table and formed a wrist blade of Bio-Metal and raised it to his neck, he backed away as I moved closer Baatezu and Zenriha started to panic "Now Naoki, put our arm down and calm down!"

"Naoki I implore you, don't do it, think of the penalties it would bring about if you were to kill me…" Alzar said as he got backed in to a corner of the room, he daren't move in case I killed him, accidentally. I scowled at him, and pushed the blade as close as I could with out actually hurting him.

"Just as you tried to kill me?" I said

"What are you talking about?" Zenriha asked

"After you wouldn't let Alzar on to the council, he became livid, he wanted me dead as well as all of you, but he couldn't do it on his own, no, he's two weak, so he had me sent in to a battle that I couldn't possibly win. He made a deal with the enemy; they would let him live in return for my destruction and the destruction of this city. But there was one other thing I forgot to mention, when the enemy had killed me, they would take the Athenry shard and destroy the whole continent" I explained.

"Is this true?" Zenriha asked, Alzar looked away

"Its it isn't it!" I shouted. As I did the ground around me turned back and the walls and ceiling shifted and morphed in to black as well, and a distant voice could be heard.

         "Come on Deacon, wake up…"

I tore my self away from the paralysis of the dream and found my self laying in Kirsty's bed room, Kirsty her self was trying to wake me up "What, I'm up I'm up!" I said as I rolled over.

"Come on, we really have to go before we miss the next train, there wont be another one for three hours"

"Three hours, a bit extreme isn't it?" I said

"Well what ever the train company wants…" Kirsty sighed; we walked down stairs and in to the dining room.

There was a loud thump from the up stairs guest room "Metabee! You could have woke me up some other way!" Ikki shouted, there was an even louder thump and the hanging lights shook.

"Hey what was that for!?" Shouted Metabee, there was another series of thumps as the two obviously started fighting, the ceiling rattled and the hanging lights gain shook.

"Those two will go through the ceiling if they're not careful…" I sighed

"I better tell them to stop it…" Kirsty said as she stood up from her breakfast, then there was aloud crash followed by another. Both Kirsty and I ran up the stairs, and flung the guest room door open. Books littered the floor along with a collection Kirsty's brother's comics, both the bookshelf arched across the room. "Aw, what a mess… and guess who has to clear it up now…"

"How can those two cause so much mess…" I asked, Metabee sat up from under all the books followed by Ikki both of them smirked.

"Err, he did it" The said at the same time, and pointed at each other.

"Typical…" I sighed, the two stood up and pushed on of the shelf's back up while Kirsty and I pushed the other on back up, then after that we all started putting the books back on the self's.

9:00am, Lowestoft central train station

After every thing had been sorted out at home we waited for the train to arrive at he main station, it was already late by half an hour, I kept thinking back to the dream and what it was really trying to tell me, I really didn't understand it all but I tried to make some senesce of it.

Kirsty didn't forget the backpack that had Ze init; it seemed like the faster she could get rid of the thing the better, but I couldn't under stand why, there was nothing wrong with Ze "God damn it! Where is that stupid train?!" She shouted as she stomped around impatiently, she sat down on a bench next to Metabee.

"Dude, calm down, it's a train its not like it can go missing" He said as he lent back and folded his arms, Kirsty gave him an evil stare.

"I think we should have just walked, we would have been there by now…" Ikki said

"Yeah, you sure would have…"

"Luke? What are you doing here?" Kirsty said, "I thought you went on holiday…"

"Ah, well, my flight got cancelled you know that old story" Luke smiled, he walked over to Ikki "And your Ikki then, I've heard a lot about you, congrats on the world championship"

"Thanks…"

"So, where are you lot off to?" Luke asked

"Norwich, to Atoll Corp. why do you ask?" Kirsty said

"I've got nothing to do so I may as well come with you"

"Errm, I don't think you can invite your self," I said

"No, no, I don't mind him coming…" Kirsty said "But if that's all right with you guys"

"Its cool" Metabee said, Ikki just nodded.

"Well we could go if this damn train gets here" Kirsty sighed.

It was becoming so predictable now, every day or three in this case, my medallion would chime, but since we left Japan it hadn't done any thing. And it only just started again, this time the chime was distorted; it made me jump, as did it every one else. I looked down at it and felt weak, then I looked up at Kirsty, she was the last thing I saw before I collapsed.

"Deacon… awake…"

I heard strange distorted voices over a wind howling, telling me what to do, I opened my eye's and noticed I wasn't at the train station any longer, but in a strange room well at least I thought it was a room, it was pitch black except the place were I laid, it was illuminated by a bright light. This was all becoming too much for me to handle, at every corner I faced a dream of my past or something to do with it. But this time was it real or not, I couldn't tell.

"Get up…rise…stand…" I stood up and the room lit up slowly, it was a circular room, and there seemed to be no apparent end to the ceiling, an illusion maybe, what ever it was it creped me out big time.

I saw a door out of the corner of my eye, and ran over to it, I was just about to open the door when the room shifted to a long corridor, I turned round and the same door was behind me. I went to open that door and the room again shifted back in to the room I was in before; I went back in to the long corridor and started to walk down it. Occasionally I would pass the odd picture hung on the wall, it all seemed very strange, all the pictures were just blank. I ignored this and continued walking, to the end of the corridor, there was another door, but this time on it was a strange red symbol, I had seen it somewhere before, I looked down at my medallion, there on the bottom segment was the symbol. I knew now that it either meant something good or bad was going to happen when the hand reached that symbol. I continued through the door.

"Holy hell!" I shouted. The room I now stood in was of a spherical shape wit the very top cut off, around the edge of the room were long spikes; evenly spaced out. But in the centre of the room was a crystal, suspended between two giant spikes, carved with archaic design. The crystal shot bolts of black energy out of the black lines on its self, and purple energy out of the purple lines, the energy bridged between the smaller spikes around the edge of the room, and then I noticed that the crystal had a section missing out of it, like it had been shattered, or broken on purpose.

Then with one loud blast, a beam of white energy shot down the top spike from out side, and hit the crystal, the energy beam soon replaced the piece that was missing, some how. The crystal shot white bolts of energy out at all the smaller spikes, but they started to arc to the two larger spikes, the room trembled as the two large spikes were blown apart. But under the spikes stone exterior were two machines, each with fore arms that folded down and sheathed the crystal in their grasp. The crystal started firing randomised bolts again but they arced between the arms and charged the two machines up. They fluxed with energy, and then there was tremendous explosion from the surface followed by a bright light. The crystal vibrated violently, and shattered in to three pieces, and each piece landed on the catwalk that surrounded the two giant machines. I walked up to one of the fragments, and picked it up, it gleamed with a strange light, and as soon as I held it in my hand it disintegrated in to blue flames, it didn't burn but instead was cold. The room started to rattle fiercely, as the two machines tried in vain to keep the power flowing through them self's. The smaller spikes fell off the wall and smashed on the round wall; sections of the catwalk fell down because of the bombardment of heavy weights falling on them.

I quickly formed wings out of Bio-Metal and flew out of the ceiling of the spherical room; the room must have been deep under ground, I found my self flying up a large tunnel to the surface; it was carved with ancient symbols that were etched in gold on red stone. At the end of the tunnel was a distorted light, that strange wavy pattern that you get when light passes through water. Upon reaching the end I could say that it was in fact water, it covered the end of the tunnel, but how it was kept from falling down the tunnel was a very big question indeed. I didn't hesitate; I pushed my way in to it as soon I heard the explosion from the room below me.

On the other side was an ocean, I turned round to see if the entrance was still there, it was, but it looked as though it was behind watery glass. I didn't want to stick around much so I set off to the surface, using my wings and tail to swim with, I didn't have much time to make fins, so I just made do. It wasn't a very long way to the surface; it was wired that there wasn't a single fish in the ocean or plant life like coral. The light reflecting from the surface was dark, crimson, and horrible, I surfaced and saw why.

I was no longer in Lowestoft, or that time for that matter, but back in Medalorian times. The land was burning in the distance, the sky a blood red, it rained hard, and the sea was very violent. Strange warped cries were carried on the wind from the land. I swam to the shore in desperation, fighting against the waves, not an easy task but in the end it paid off, when I got to the docks I jumped on to one of the smaller boats then up on to the plat form, dead Medabot bodies were scattered over the dock area. It was horrible, I had no idea what had happened here, I kept walking passed the dock area and all the bodies following the road up to the main city, but there was a loud screech. I looked up from where the noise came from, flying above me was a giant creature, but strangely enough it looked like Alzar, it opened its mouth and golden-orangey energy charged and it fired out at a very high speed, I was so petrified I couldn't move, but the shot missed and instead hit another Medabot next to me. The shot went straight through the Medabot and it fell to the floor, dead, the creature flew off, it ignored me completely, I wondered why, but I soon moved on. The city I approached was destroyed, no one was left, all dead, every last one of them, I fell to my knees and almost cried but I tried my hardest not to. I looked up to the sound of foot steps, and a yellow KBT type walked out from behind a building, and a ran up to him.

"Hey Keyumou!" I shouted to him, but he kept walking slowly with his head hung low. "What happened here?!" I shouted to him, but again he just kept walking, it was like he didn't care any more, like he had lost all hope. I walked next to him and went to put my hand on his shoulder, but as I did, it went straight through him, I was to stunned for words. I tried again, but again my had went right through him, so I tried something else, I put my hand on to a near by building, the same result, it became apparent to me then this was not a dream, I really didn't know what it was if it wasn't a dream.

There was a loud explosion from behind us, at the base of the pillars, Keyumou and I turned to see what had happened. The tallest pillar collapsed on its self, sending a tidal wave of water out from around the bottom which smashed in too the others and shattered them one by one. There was a loud screech of triumph from the monsters that soared overhead, but then a bright light radiated from the remains of the tallest pillar, it shot in to the sky, this signified the end of the Medalorian race, even though I did not know this to be true, the feeling it gave me felt like it. The yellow Medabot walked on to wards the temple, and I followed close behind.          

It seemed like ages before we final reached the temple, and it seemed like ages before Keyumou shad the nerve to enter, but he pulled him self together and pushed both the doors open, hundreds of Medabots had survived what ever happened to the others but got away with broken limbs and cuts gathered in the temple. "There he is! The traitor!" One Medabot yelled at Keyumou. Keyumou stepped back wards, away from all the Medabots.

"You turncoat!" Another shouted
