Chapter 21: Spirits Collide
Lavitz sat up and stared out the window, remembering the past day before. Carefully, he removed the blankets and sat on the edge of the bed looking down at the floor in thoughts of his own.
'I have to get her back...' his mind said over and over, trying a way to break the spell of control of Anya's mind and soul.
"Hey, you alright in here?" a voice said from behind him. Lavitz perked up and turned slightly around to see Meru standing with hands on her hips, staring at him.
He smiled just to make her happy. "Yes, I'll be alright..." he muttered to get her to leave.
Meru took the bait and smiled. "Alrighty then! Everyone is waiting for when you decide to come out, bye!" she said walking out and closing the door behind her, except...it didn't fully close.
Lavitz didn't notice this and stood up slowly; walking to the window and placing his hands on the wood that held the glass. Sighing inwardly, his olive eyes gleamed from the light. 'Come and save her if you think you're strong enough...' a shivering voice whispered from behind him. Lavitz quickly turned around, holding his side slightly.
"Who's there?" he tightened his fists and glared at the air. The voice appeared again, as did a little vision of a person...Raoul...
"YOU!" he growled at the image. 'Tsk Tsk...I thought you knew how to control your anger...anyway; I'm here to ask you if you want to challenge just me...to save Anya, and if you don't succeed, I get her...and your spirit simple?' it hissed.
Lavitz gaped, then lowering his head and staring at the floor, thought things through his mind. Raoul floated there, waiting for an answer...then..."Where do I go...?"
A smirk appeared on Raoul's face as he stared at the Knight in amusement. "Head t the forest northwest of Furni...waits near the middle and I'll be there just as you arrive... got it? No one goes with you...man on man challenge..." he whispered and disappeared saying, "Leave now before your friends come..."
Standing there, he closed his eyes and walked to the other room in his, grabbing his usual clothes. After getting changed, he opened the window to its full extent and crouched under it, jumping down the short distance and running swiftly among the trees out of sight.
: Doctors Office:
Ladir walked around impatiently, waiting for Lavitz to come out. "Meru are you sure he's coming?" he asked the young girl who was sitting beside her huge hammer and humming. She looked up and nodded. Lodis rolled his eyes and got up walking to Lavitz's room, despite Meru's protest.
He walked to the door and saw it open slightly as a small breeze whipped against his hair. He opened the door to see the window open and the room totally empty... His eyes widened. "Oh shit..." he muttered and ran out to where the others were.
"He's gone!" He said, walking around the room. Ladir stared at him grimly and stood up walking straight for the door and standing outside. "The forest..."he muttered, and started off at a fast sprint to the trees and bushes and heading down the path, the others following.
: Mid forest:
Lavitz stood and looked around finding the spot where he had to go. Noticing a sparkle in one way, he started off at a dead run toward it, suddenly, a black portal appeared dragging him toward it. "AH!" he tried to pull against, but...he soon was engulfed by it, falling into a dark abyss.
Falling and hitting a black see-through floor, Lavitz flinched as he got on his hands and knees, and finally getting up. "What the...?" he mumbled rubbing the back of his head and looking around.
A light flash appeared, blinding him, and finally landing on a figure, two figures and a platform. Anya, hanging from a cross that was floating in the dark and Raoul standing upon one platform. The other, nothing.
Lavitz walked up and glared at the man. "No one to find us huh? You disgust me!" he yelled toward Raoul.
The man smirked. "You want to know something...Anya, the girl you desperately love...i didn't take her soul or mind...she gave me her spirit for your safety...but, I guess she'll remain mine...and soon you will too..." Raoul chuckled and Lavitz magically lifted upon the second platform, as a black sheet of water filled the entire abyss up until it was just a little bit below the platforms.
Lavitz stared at the black water as the reflections glowed off his and Raoul's faces, as Soul, Spirits, and ghost swam around the water; Moaning and crying out. He gaped at all of them.
"This is where your fate ends boy...as your girlfriends...hehe..." Raoul muttered.
Gritting his teeth, Lavitz glared hotly a6t the man, and growled; a green mist appeared around him. "You...You, I can't believe you toy with these people's souls! Have you no respect!!" he yelled out.
"Well...since you are a Knight, you must have a lot of respect for people, even your enemies...heh, me...i don't care about respect. The only person I have respected is myself!!" Raoul shouted, floating and springing forward and powering up a blast.
Lavitz moved back one and backflipped landing on the platform Raoul was standing on. He knelt down holding his left arm. "Damn..." his hissed as it burned slowly. Raoul laughed at this, "My, aren't you just so slow...hehe," he sprung forward again, and kicked Lavitz in the face, making him almost land in the ghostly water.
"......I'll show you whose slow you bastard!" he yelled, and a green light emanated from his body, creating a bright light. After the light finished, Lavitz floated over the platform, wearing an outfit that showed mystic purpose.
It flowed lightly over his body, the green robes glowing with strings of gold and silver, his hair had become goldish colour and his eyes were now his eyes, instead all olive, were bright green and glowing.
"I knew it...your soul is perfect!" Raoul cried out and created a black mist, it covering the whole place. Lavitz didn't mind it, instead flew through it and slammed Raoul in the face, making him fall to one of the platforms. He didn't stop there; he conjured up a spell of wind and rain in his arms and hands, sending the full blast right at Raoul's form.
The mist, turned to fog, and became darker...this made Lavitz uneasy. "Come out you coward!" he shouted. 'Oh...that was no fun; I might as well destroy your body here and now...GAHAHAHAH!!!!" Raoul's voice from behind Lavitz laughed.
Turned around Lavitz stared into the face of a monster, as it grabbed him around the front and clenched him between its hand. "Grr...You..." Lavitz's body tightened as Raoul's evil form snickered at him, fangs dripping drool into the black water.
It steamed, as Lavitz tried to struggle, but it didn't work, not at all...even with his strength of a Dragoon and Guardian. Before he even realized, Raoul pummeled his capture into the water, and bringing him back up again.
"*cough cough*" Lavitz coughed, and closed his eyes as air finally came to his water filled lungs. "D-damn you..." he cursed.
"I beg to cry...hehe..." he did it again and again, till for the forth time, he kept Lavitz underwater, having the spirits have their own evil ways.
Lavitz kept his mouth and eyes closed as the ghost and spirits prod at his body and face, trying to take him over and getting fee. He struggled as something hot went along his back, kicking his legs and moving his arms about under the hold he tried to breath...but...soon the air was gone and he went under the water's darkness.
: Current place:
Ladir ran forward and jumped down a black hole, flying slightly as the dragoons turned to them and floated with him, carrying the girls and the people who couldn't fly.
They landed softly; without noise on a black platform, others stared at the water, while some stared at the enormous figure holding its hand beneath the water. Ladir stared at the water where the hand was placed and saw numerous fighting about and moaning about a body. He growled and flew up to where Raoul, the figure, was laughing. He powered up and magic force and threw it at him.
"Gleaming Shadows!!" he yelled out, and Raoul screamed out in pain, as his grip on the person below let go and he flew to the other side of the abyss.
Ladir looked at the water, and floated above it carefully searching for signs of Lavitz.
Lavitz's body floated down to the bottom as ghosts in the water swirled all around him, talking to each of themselves. The soul of a little girl swam up and placed a pale white hand on his forehead and smiled. 'He's sweet...' she minded the others, who wanted his body.
'NO! I want his body now!' one shouted into mind.
Shaking her head, she glowed a bright blue colour as a light for someone to find him. Ladir noticed it, and glowed as well, diving down into the water, into the souls of the dead and finally seeing Lavitz. He grabbed him under the arms and lifted him as quick as he could to the surface, and over to a platform near the dragoons.
He laid Lavitz's pale form on the floor and check for a pulse, and then began pushing down on his chest where his heart was. "Come on, don't die now!" Ladir muttered, over until he stopped and checked the pulse again. Nothing. Again he did the thing over and over, until Lavitz, suddenly opened his eyes and rolled over coughing up water.
"Thank Soa..." Ladir sighed and placed a hand on the man's shoulder. "Hey...you okay?" he asked. Lavitz looked over at him with a pained look. "Yeah..." he murmured.
Sitting up, Ladir looked over at the group and raised his hands. 'Spirit of Wind and water...place the seal of protection on them and make them wait up above!' he chanted as a barrier of water went around the dragoons and sending them up.
"What did you do?" Hiecaro asked, as he being the only one beside Ladir and Lavitz who didn't leave.
"They could get in the way..." Ladir replied.
Lavitz and Hiecaro nodded, then stared at Raoul who was screeching still, made their ears hurt a lot.
"Damn banshee..." Hiecaro mumbled, and turned a silvery colour. Lavitz didn't move, but just stared at the far right all at Anya's form. 'While they fight, I'll get her loose' he thought to himself. Ladir and Hiecaro flew forward, attacking Raoul.
Lavitz turned dragoon and flew up to where Anya was. He looked at her besheveled form and a tear ran down his cheek. Ignoring it, he flew close to her and placed a hand on her shoulder, but instead of him trying to get her free, an electric shock went through his body.
"AHH...!" he gritting his teeth and fell back to the ground. Electric blue lines on his body. The water around him grew a little higher now, the souls and spirits surrounding the one platform. He was unconscious, and Ladir and Hiecaro couldn't do anything.
: Mind of Lavitz:
His blond hair flowed in the semi wind that made its way all over, his skin turning cold to its shivering coldness. Opening his eyes, Lavitz stared at a white, but barren place; no people no land, just...pure white around him. But, one thing caught his eye...a blue figure, crouching on the ground with its knees put up against its forehead, crying.
"Are you alright?" he asked the figure. Shaking its head, blue hair fell to the floor, and swirled in the wind. "Anya...this is your real soul...please, you have to get up and come with me..." he whispered, fog appearing from when he spoke. It WAS cold.
"Anya...listen to me...we have to go..."
"Don't talk..." the spirit whispered and stood up, walking over to him and placing her head on his chest. Lavitz wrapped his arms around her spiritual body, careful not to go through her. She sighed and did the same around his neck. "You need to leave...by yourself..." she whispered.
Lavitz looked down. "Not without you...Ladir and Hiecaro are fighting Raoul right now...we can get you back Anya...don't...you can leave us...you can't leave me..." he whispered.
"Lavitz..." she mumbled and caressed his cold cheek with her own soft hand. He put his hand over it and closed his eyes, "Your...warm..." he said, sighing a bit.
"I can make my body physical in this world as well...please...just leave me here, I cause too much trouble..." she put her arms back around his neck and leaned up to his face and placed a kiss on his lips. Lavitz returned, by deeping the kiss and cupping a hand on her cheek; caressing it slowly.
Anya opened her eyes and pulled away from him and putting her hands on his arms. "Go back...now..."she whispered into his ear and moved backward and sitting back on the ground silent.
Lavitz put his arm out and stopped her. "I'm not letting you die like this...Anya you are no trouble to us, if you leave, the whole world will die..." he grasped her in a hug. "You don't have to worry...please Anya...please..." he begged, tears starting to form in his eyes.
Anya looked up at him and smiled sadly. "You...stubborn man...alright...I'll do it...i trust you..." she glowed a different colour of gold and disappeared, Lavitz falling to the ground.
: Reality:
"Hey! Wake up Dammit!" Hiecaro shook his shoulders, trying to wake Lavitz up.
Anya's body above glowed the same colour it had in his mind, and she opened her eyes to see an unconscious Raoul, and an unconscious Lavitz. She glowed brighter and broke the chains, floating down to where Hiecaro was trying to wake her love. She looked at the two men she didn't know and smiled.
"Lavitz? Wake up..." she whispered into Lavitz's ear, and soon his eyes opened slowly and looking up at the three people. "Come on, we have to go now!" Hiecaro said, getting up and running over to the entrance that appeared.
The others nodded and began to fly to the entrance, when suddenly; Ladir stopped and stared straight ahead. His eyes were turned back to normal, and they were frightened. "Juria...NO!!" He flew forward, almost knocking Lavitz, Anya and Hiecaro out of the air. The three stared at him and flew fast as well.
No one knew...why he was acting strange.
Well, everyone...there ay have it. Anya is better, Fifi can slap her around...and now, Ladir has gone insane over something with Juria...hmmm. REVEIWS PLEASE!!!
