Dark Moon & Midnight Shadows
ch 11
The source floated up to Kasura. He grinned evilly, as he got closer and closer to her. "What do you want from me?" Kasura asked as the source finally stopped in front of her.
The source took his hand and caressed her face, "So young, so beautiful, and so naive as to what potiential you have to weild the power of your armor." Kasura whipmered as the suorce continued to caress her face. Not beacuse of being scared, well ot really, but because she felt repulsed becasue she could feel the evil vibes coursing through his body.
"Hey! Get away from her!" Shu yelled at him angrily. "Did you hear me? I said..."
"Yes I heard you, Kongo," the source replied as he slowly floated from in front of her to in back.
"Oh God, what is he going to do" Kasura thought in panic, as the source began to slowly snake one hand arouand her neck, and having his finger tips rest on her throat. While he has his other arm free.
"What's the matter boys, you're not having any fun?" Tahi asked in a taunting manner.
"Just wait until we get out of here, then we'll see who's having fun and who isn't." Ryo replied angrily.
"Sure whatever you say, Rekka." Mei huffed as she rolled her eyes.
"I'm sorry that you're not enjoying this. but don't worry, it'll soon be over." The source said as he took his free hand and shot it towards the troopers. His fingers turned into small ribbons of steel, as they came closer and closer to them. As they got close enough, the ribbons of steel, pierced the troopers, one by one. Each yelling out in extreme pain. While that was happening, the source started to drain away their powers from them and into himself.
"No! Leave them alone!" Kasura exclaimed as she tried to struggle. But as she struggled the thorny vines cut deeper, and more blood began to run from her.
"What's the matter, giajin, you don't like what's going on?" Lao taunted with an evil gleam in his eyes.
"Interesting, she's more concerned with their welfare, than her own. Maybe there's more to her than we know. This could become a serious problem. I think that I had better get on with it." the source thought as he retracted the steel ribbons back into his hand, and then unwrapped his other arm off of Kasura as he started to float back down.
"Master?" Tahi asked in slight confusion.
"Take them," the source replied as he was referring to the troopers. "And her, and get them out of my sight. I'll deal with them later." Mei, Tahi, and Lao bowed and then started to take the troopers first and then Lao came back for Kasura. She was still being held up in the air by the thorny roots.
"You should have left when you had the chance, giajin." Lao thuoght as the thorny roots let her go, and she fell into his arms. As soon as Lao caught her, he disappeared and put her with the troopers.
"Master, out of curiosity, what did you do to those annoying troopers?" Mei asked as she looked over to him.
"I drained their powers just enough so they won't cause us problems later." the source replied as he turned to face her.
"Do you really think that they will be a problem, master?" Lao asked as he finally spoke up.
"If you knew what I know of the troopers, then you would have done the same if you were in my position." the source replied
as he turned his back on them.
"So, what's the next step master, I am assuming that there is one." Mei asked.
The source nodded, "in due time, everyone will know what is going to happen next in due time."
"Man, that actually hurt!" Shu said as he winced while he was trying to sit up.
"Hey, is everybody here?" Shin asked as he was trying to see in the very dark room.
"Looks like it, Shin," Ryo replied as he was looking around the dim lit room. Just as he was about to say something else he spotted Kasura laying in the corner. "Kasura!" He rushes over there to her and knelt down and started to look over her wounds.
"Ryo, how is she?" Shu asked as he looked over to them.
"Shu, I won't lie to you, she's in pretty bad shape." Ryo replied as he continued to look over her, avoiding his gaze. Shu was trying to keep his temper in check, but he was finding it rather hard to do.
"There has to be a way out of here." Touma said as he was looking around for an exit, any exit.
"Has anyone wondered why the source took our powers to begin with?" Shin asked as he looked around to each of them.
"I would like to know too Shin, but I'm sorry, at the moment I'm more concerned about Kasura than why he took them," Shu replied, and then looked over to Seji as he knelt down next to Kasura. "Seji, is there some way that you can help her?"
"I can try Shu, but you know that my healing abilities come from my armor." Seji said as he knelt down next to them.
"Yea, I know." Shu replied as he was trying to hide his own pain from the drain that the source did to them. He also knew that the others were in pain as well, but they weren't gooing to admit it either, well at least not at the moment. Seji
closed his eyes and started to concentrate on the task at hand. A very light green light surrounded them both as he tried to concentrate harder. Sweat started to pour down his face as he kept his focus, just as he was about to fall back from exhaustion, another light started to go around not only them but everyone else as well.
"Hey, what's..?" Shin started to ask as he looked around in shock and confusion.
The silver light faded as soon as a groan was heard. "Ow, oh man, am I sore." Kasura said as she finally started to come around.
"Kasura, are you all right?" Shu asked in concern as she was now sitting up against the wall.
"Yea Shu, I'm fine, like I said before, I'm just a little sore. What about you guys, are you ok?" Kasura asked back as she looked around at them.
"Yea Kasura, we're fine." Touma replied as he tried to cover up something, the others nodded in agreement.
Kasura narrowed her eyes angrily, "You're lying, Touma, I know that the source did soemthing to you guys. I was right there in front of him, so don't lie to me." Kasura said with a warning look in her eyes.
In another room...
"Master, why did you..?" Lao asked curiously as he saw that the source closed his hand around the silver kanji ball.
"Why did I activate the power that was in this kanji ball?" the source asked back as he turned around and faced him. Lao nodded his head, Mei and Tahi looked at each other and then back to the source as they wondered the same thing. "Let's jus say that with all of the powers from the troopers and the girl, that something that I haven't felt in a long time is coming."
"What's coming, master?" Tahi asked with a slight confusion.
"Something that should have came a long time ago. Something that'll change the world as we know it, to my will." the source replied with an evil laugh.
"What's this change that you're talking about, master?" Mei asked with interest.
"You'll see, you'll all see soon enough." the source replied as he left.
"He maybe the master, but there's something that isn't right." Lao said with a distrustful look.
"What do you mean, Lao?" Mei asked with curiosity.
"I mean, why is he keeping this from us. He never kept anything from us before, so why now?" Lao asked back.
"Who knows, and who cares? I mean really, if he wants us to know, then I'm sure that the master would tell us." Tahi replied as she gave a fake interest look at her nails.
"You should care, Tahi! What if what the master has planned could not only change the world to his image, but he could get rid of us in the process, now do you really wan that to happen?" Mei asked as she raised an eyebrow at her.
Tahi looked up with a slight concerned look when Mei said that. "Ok, fine, so then what are we going to do about it?" Tahi asked as she crossed her arms.
"For now, we're just going to have to sit and wait." Lao replied, as he noticed that Mei and Tahi glared at him. "Hey, I don't like the idea either, but that's all we can do for now, so deal with it!"
