Chapter 8
The minute contact happened, Jazalyn felt a gust of wind blow through her mind. The wind kept blowing and she started to shiver. Her body was trying to deal with a cool spring breeze blowing through her mind. 'So weird,' Jazalyn tried to think, 'this wind is cooling my body temperature. If I don't do something soon, I'll go into shock.'
Suddenly, the breeze stopped and the ground began to rumble. Jazalyn pushed down a scream when she saw her soul being held captive by chains popping up from the ground. As the chains restrained her, she felt a jolt of pink lightning go through the chains. Jazalyn grimaced, but when the pink electricity hit her soul, she felt like it was on fire. When Jazalyn couldn't take it anymore, she let out an ear-piercing scream.
Anubis' mind became hazy while the pink lightning tearing through his body and soul. It was too painful to think, but he could hear Jazalyn screaming. 'That noise,' he thought in a haze of pain, 'it's nothing new; I've heard people scream before, but why is this different? Is it because we are connected? Is she is my partner?'
As Anubis' mind began to process what was going on, he felt as if his soul on fire. When he realized why he was feeling the soul-burning sensation, he knew, 'she is my partner. I have to get her out of here, or else she'll die.'
Anubis became conscious when Jazalyn began to swoon, 'she's going to pass out,' Anubis realized. With one swift movement, Anubis caught Jazalyn in his arms. Then he looked at everyone else, "she must come with me."
"Like Hell she's coming with you," Sarah snapped.
"Put her down on the ground, gently," Melody ordered, "or I may enjoy ripping you to pieces."
"You heard Sarah," Ryo said, withdrawing his two Katanas, "put her down on the ground, and we promise we'll let you walk."
"No," Anubis replied.
Rowen fired an arrow that landed in front of Anubis, "that was a warning shot," he said in a serious tone, "put her down on the ground and no one gets hurt."
Anubis gently laid Jazalyn on the ground. As Anubis backed away, he began to chant something. Suddenly, a black tornado came spinning into the underground metro station sweeping up the five Ronin Warriors. "You bitch," Sarah yelled.
"If I can't have my partner," Anubis smiled, "then you can't have yours. Soon this black tornado will crush the five Ronin Warriors and you and that pathetic boy won't have any partners to deal with."
"You piece of shit," Melody growled.
"I am willing to exchange," Anubis smiled, "Jazalyn for the five Ronin Warriors."
Sarah glared at Anubis, "be careful," Brian whispered, "this is a devil's bargain."
Melody looked around, hoping for something to happen. As if someone granted her wish, Melody, Melissa, Sarah, and Brian heard the chiming of a staff. The Ronins turned into spheres of light and flew out of the tornado. Anubis screamed in rage, "sorry," Melissa smiled, "if Sarah and Brian don't have their partners, then you don't get yours."
Anubis left the battlefield in a fit of rage and teleported back to the Dynasty castle. While back in the metro station, the authors waited for Jazalyn to wake up. They would need all five minds to find their partners.
