Chapter 30
The jeep was going as fast as Mia could push down on the accelerator. Everyone in the jeep was tense, especially Sarah and Brian. 'I have to get to Melissa,' Sarah prayed, 'If her son-of-a-bitch partner hurts her, he's going to regret it.'
Jazalyn could feel the tension in the car, 'I guess when you have a bunch of unpredictable Warlords,' she concluded, 'you have every right to be tense.'
"Can't this vehicle go any faster?" Kento argued.
"We have to be patient," Sage replied, "Worrying isn't going to help."
"YOU MAY NOT BE WORRIED," Sarah yelled at Sage, "BUT MY BEST FRIEND HAS BEEN KIDNAPPED BY HER SON-OF-A-BITCH PARTNER AND I WANT HER BACK."
"Is yelling at me going to make this jeep go any faster?" Sage shot back.
"No," Sarah blushed.
"Then be patient," Brian glared, "I'm worried about Melissa too."
As they drove toward Kyoto, Jazalyn looked behind her, "Uh, Mia."
"Yes," Mia replied.
"We have soldiers with spears following us," Jazalyn informed her.
"Shit," Melody swore, "I guess Dais doesn't want us to reach Kyoto."
"Stop the car," Sage replied.
"Why?" Melody asked.
"Kento and I are going to care of these tin cans," Sage explained. "You five go and find Melissa."
"ARE YOU TWO OUT OF YOUR MINDS?" Sarah yelled.
"No," Kento replied, "but you five need to get to Ryo and Cye."
"Be careful," Jazalyn whispered as Kento and Sage exited the jeep.
Dais gloated over Ryo and Cye. 'Foolish boys,' he thought, 'did they really think that they could defeat me. Making them fight each other, by using my illusion, I didn't have throw a single punch.'
Dais smirked, "Hypocritical fools, you tried to take my partner away from me, for that crime, you both shall die."
As Dais raised one of his scythes over Ryo's chest, he thought he heard a vehicle rumbling, 'impossible!' he thought, 'the guards should have been able to prevent them from making it this far.'
"We don't go down that easily," Brian yelled as the car stopped and everyone jumped out.
"You!" Dais glared, stepping away from the two boys, "You and Wildfire's partner are becoming a pain."
"Then I guess we've been upgraded from prey to annoyance," Melody smiled.
"I want Melissa," Sarah demanded.
"You can't have her," Dais smirked.
"Give her back," Brian demanded.
Dais gave off a sharp, piercing laugh, "Is that how it works, Brian, Partner of Torrent? Torrent and Wildfire can be with their partners, and yet you deny me my partner?"
"You can't take care of her," Brian bit out, "bringing Melissa to Talpa would only put her in more danger."
Dais glared, "You have no right to judge me. You have no idea what it's like, living in darkness, knowing that you will never have anything to hold onto, or treasure. Besides, why would you deny someone their hikari?"
Brian glared at the spider-armored Warlord.
Dais smiled, "You're an ignorant hypocrite. You would never let anyone tear Torrent away from you, and yet here you stand, ready to take my partner away from me. Who's the real hypocrite? A Warlord with what you mortals call a "bad reputation" or an arrogant big brother that's too afraid to let one of his little sisters grow up."
"And where exactly are you going to take her?" Brian demanded, "Talpa will only use her as a pawn against you. I'm only trying to keep her safe. Putting Melissa into your care is only going to cause more pain."
Dais grew enraged, "You hypocritical fool, you know nothing of my type of protection." With that said, Dais teleported away.
