Tears of Twilight
ch 27
As Cye was almost back to the room, he began to wonder if Talpa would keep his word and make Jakada give Kaye back her ring. When he finally made it back, he started to open the door. As soon as Thunder heard the door creek, he stood up protectively in front of Kaye, making sure that no one would get to her. As the door opened even further, Thunder became a little more tense, ready to fight if he had to. "Thunder, wait it's me, Cye." Cye said as he came in and shut the door. Thunder was hesitant, but then when he came closer, Thunder finally relaxed and stood right up.
"Well, how did it go?" Thunder asked as he watched Cye walk over to Kaye, and then sat down next to her.
"Talpa is going to talk with Jakada and tell him to give back Kaye her ring." Cye replied as he looked over at him as Thunder sat down on Cye's bed.
"Are you sure that he's going to do that? How can you trust his word?" Thunder asked curiously.
"I know that he will because he wants this stupid prophecy to pass, so he needs all three of us in our best condition. He'll do it." Cye replied.
Thunder could tell that there was something else that he wasn't telling him. "Cye? What else did Talpa say?" Cye became hesitant, he looked down at his sister, gently moved some hair out of her eyes and then looked back at him.
"Yeah, there's a catch. If Kaye shows disobedience or strikes him again, then he'll have Jakada take her ring back after the prophecy."
"What!? But that's not...He can't..." Thunder asked in anger.
"I know, Thunder, and he'll do it too." Cye replied as he looked down at her again.
"Then it looks like we'd better wake her up and tell her huh." Thunder said as he stood up and kneeled next to him.
"Yeah, I guess so," Cye replied quietly, "Kaye, hey come on now. Get up. Please, open your eyes."
Kaye frowned and did a why did you wake me up type of groan as she slowly began to open her eyes. "How are you feeling?" Thunder asked as she finally had her eyes completely opened.
"Physically, fine, everything else, the jury is still out on them yet." Kaye replied as she carefully sat up and leaned against the head board while rubbing her eyes.
"Kaye, there's something that I have to tell you, and well, you're not going to like it very well." Cye said as he was trying to brace her for what he has to say.
"Cye, what..?" Kaye started to ask.
"Shh, just listen ok." Cye replied as he explained on what he did and how she was going to get her ring back from Jakada. For a while, Kaye was quiet, Thunder and Cye looked towards each other, and then they looked at Kaye. They could tell that she was having a hard time accepting the news that she has just been told.
"Fine." Kaye said with a defeated sigh, as she frowned.
In Jakada's chambers, Talpa and Jakada were talking bout him giving the Dream Walker back her ring and the circumstances if she doesn't follow Talpa's orders. "And you actually think that she'll go through with your terms?" Jakada asked as he held his chain that had her ring on it up in the air in front of him.
"She wants that ring bad enough, she will." Talpa replied.
"Fine, I'll give it back to her," Jakada said as he quickly snatched it down and balled it into his fist. "But I do have a question."
"Yes?" Talpa asked as he raised an eye brow at him.
"Since she has these 'conditions,' to go by to keep her ring, do you think that it would be possible that she has to obey me as well? And do whatever, and I mean whatever, and whenever I say?" Jakada asked with an evil gleam in his eyes.
Talpa thought about it for a while, "Yes."
"Good, I was hoping that you would say that." Jakada replied with an evil grin.
Shortly after...
"Dream Walker, it's time to train Torrent!" Talpa said as he and Jakada entered the room.
"Give me my ring back." Kaye replied as she glared at them angrily.
"Certainly." Jakada said with a grin as he threw it at her. Kaye caught it, took her ring off the chain and put it quickly back on, and then took the chain and threw it back in Jakada's face. Jakada just laughed, "Oh by the way, there's a few more
'conditions,' to you keeping your ring." The three of them looked towards Talpa and Jakada in disbelief, and then Jakda explained his extra 'conditions.'
"You can't be serious!?" Thunder asked angrily.
"Oh but I'm very serious." Jakada replied with a laugh.
"You lied to me...Talpa!" Cye yelled at him angrily, "You said nothing about that mongrel adding any 'conditions!'"
"You never asked." Talpa replied, "Now, we're wasting time. Are you or are you not ready to teach Torrent more on dream walking?"
"I'm...I'm ready." Kaye replied as she was trying to keep herself under control. Cye and Thunder walked over to Kaye. As Cye sat down in front of her like before, Thunder stayed close, making sure that neither Talpa or Jakada even came close to either of them.
In the dream realm....
"Kaye...I...Cye started to say as they were standing at the base of a mountain.
"What's done is done, Cye. Let's get going, alright." Kaye replied with a frown as she gazed up the mountain.
Cye nodded, "What do we have to do here?" he asked as he started to look up.
"We have to get to the top of this mountain before the sun hits the zenith." Kaye started to explain.
"Sounds easy enough," Cye replied, "but it's not, right."
"You're a quick one," Kaye said with a small laugh. "On our way up, there are stone statues that are embedded into it, we have to be careful and not to let them know of our presence, because if they do, then they'll come to life and we'll have one heck of a fight on our hands. Then when we do make it to the top, we'll have two phantom warriors to fight. We have to defeat them before the sun is at it's zenith or..." Kaye said.
"Or what?" Cye asked as he had a feeling that he's not going to like her answer.
"Or we'll be trapped in the dream realm, and never return." Kaye replied.
"Oh." Cye replied with a sadden heart.
"Come on Cye, we're wasting time." Kaye said as she started to run towards the bamboo made trail that wound itself around the mountain. Cye quickly followed.
As Cye and Kaye were about half way up the mountain. Cye glanced over to her, there was something on his mind. He wanted to ask sooner, but things got out of hand. "Kaye." Cye said.
"Yeah, what Cye?" Kaye asked as she caught his glance.
"I was wondering if you..." Cye replied hesitantly.
"If I what? Come on Cye, ya have something to say, then say it." Kaye said.
"I know that when we did the convergent dream that you were aware that you had a pair of silver wings materialize on your
back." Cye replied as they passed a couple of statues.
"Yeah, what about it?" Kaye asked as she was wondering what he was getting at.
"Well, you formed them again when Badamon forced you to show us your 'nightmare,' from that creature." Cye replied in concern.
"So, what if I did?" Kaye asked as she was getting nervous about his line of questioning.
"Kaye, at the same time you formed them a second time, they not only materialized on you in your 'nightmare,' but on you in reality too." Cye replied as he saw her stop.
"What are you talking about, Cye? I don't know anything about having a pair of silver wings materialize on me out side of my 'nightmare.' I would have remembered." Kaye said as she started to walk again.
Cye watched her, "maybe she really doesn't remember. Then, did I do the right thing about telling her?" he wondered in confusion.
"Cye, come on, we're wasting time!" Kaye called back.
"I'm coming!" Cye called back to her as he started to run towards her, but just as he was about there, the stone statues that were embedded into the mountains came to life and started to break free from the mountain.
"CYE!" Kaye yelled as she found herself fighting stone statues both in front and he bind her.
"KAYE!" Cye yelled back as he found himself in the same predicament.
"They're trying to stall us from getting to the top! We have to keep moving!" Kaye called back. Cye nodded as he fought
fiercely. As they were fighting, the stone statues kept on coming. A few dropped in from above, and wiped out different parts of the bamboo trail. Others threw their spears up through the trail. Before either of them could do anything, the statues suddenly rushed at them and pushed both of them off of the bamboo trail. As they were falling they were trying to grasp for something, anything that would stop their fall. Then in a split second, Cye saw a couple of bamboo poles protruding from the trail. He quickly grabbed onto them, and then grabbed onto Kaye's hand catching her.
"Hey, need a lift?" Cye asked with a smirk.
Kaye looked up, "sure, but only if you're going my way." she replied also with a smirk. Cye nodded and then threw her up to a nearby ledge. Kaye landed on it and then laid down and helped pull Cye up.
"Thanks." Cye said as they both stood up.
"Anytime," Kaye replied with a small smile. "What do you say that we stop wasting time, and get to the top of this thing? We still have two warrior phantoms to fight yet."
"If we take the trail, then it'll cut our time because of our fall." Cye said as he looked up.
"Ok then, what do you suggest, fly?" Kaye asked as she raised an eyebrow at him.
"Actually, yeah." Cye replied with a sly grin as he closed his eyes as he concentrated and then when he opened them a flying carpet materialized right next to the cliff where they were standing.
"Whoa, I'm impressed only in the second time training and you've already came up with this." Kaye said with an amazed look.
"Thanks, hey what can I say? I'm good." Cye said with a smirk.
"Cute little brother, very cute." Kaye replied with a slight look of annoyance.
"Well are you coming?" Cye asked as he walked onto the flying carpet and looked at her.
"It beats the alternative." Kaye replied as she got on. As soon as both of them sat down, the flying carpet took off for the top.
"Looks like we're going to make it." Cye said as he glanced over to her.
"It sure does, but don't forget, we still have two phantom warriors to fight yet." Kaye replied as they finally made it to the top.
"I'm guessing that they're them." Cye said as he pointed to the two that were waiting for them.
"Yep, are you ready?" Kaye asked as they jumped off of the flying carpet and landed at the top of the mountain.
"Yeah," Cye replied as he got into a fighting stance, and then as the two phantom warriors came closer he pulled back. "Are you sure that this is the only way to get out of here?"
"Yep." Kaye replied as she got ready.
"I was afraid you were going to say that." Cye said as the two phantom warriors were now in a better field of vision. One phantom warrior was jade in color with four arms, and a snakes body with two swords and some kind of circular object on its back. While the second phantom warrior was navy in color with also four arms, with a human-type body and two daggers posed ready to fight.
"You have come.." the navy phantom started to say.
"To challenge us.?" the jade phantom finished.
"I'm..." Kaye started to say.
"We know why.." the jade phantom replied.
"You are here." the navy phantom said as they both started to sway back and forth.
"Ok, now that's way too freaky for me." Cye thought as he glanced over to Kaye. She had a pretty good idea of what Cye could probably be thinking because the first time that she was training in dream walking, she thought the same thing. As the two phantom warriors continued to sway, their eyes glowed the opposite's colors. The jade phantom's eyes navy, and the navy phantom's eyes jade. While that happened, a split second later the circular object on the jade phantom's back glowed and opened up to what looked like a star filled sky night scene.
"Watch out!" Kaye warned as the circular object shot out a huge energy wave towards them. Cye and Kaye jumped away from the attack as it continued to drive forward causing a huge crater once they were standing.
"Whoa! what the..?" Cye yelled over to her.
"Don't call out each others names!" Kaye yelled over to him in warning.
"What why?" Cye yelled back as he looked over to her.
"Because as soon as they know our names, then they can capture our dream spirit in that thing," Kaye explained as she motioned over to the big circular object on the jade phantom's back. "And then we'll be stuck here for eternity!"
"What!? Oh great! Do you have any more good news that you would like to share with me?" Cye yelled over to her sarcastically.
"Yeah!" Kaye yelled back. "Watch out!" The jade phantom quickly vanished from where it was standing and appeared behind Cye.
"Hey, watch it! You could have taken my head off!" Cye yelled at the jade phantom as it swiped at Cye's head with its swords.
"That was.." the jade phantom started to say.
"The idea." the navy phantom finished as it got on the other side of Cye.
"NO CYE! I've got to do something!" Kaye thought frantically as she saw that they were starting to sway again, as they were getting ready to launch a second attack, but this time from their eyes. As Kaye's feelings of wanting to help Cye grew, a pair of silver wings materialized on her back once again. The adrenaline raced through her body, she didn't have time to even think of why those silver wings appeared, she knew only one thing. Cye was in trouble, so she swooped over as quickly as she could and tackled Cye out of the way just in the nick of time as the two phantom warriors cancelled each other out. Kaye and Cye rolled out of the way of the fallen phantom warriors.
"You two..." Cye started to say as he began to stand.
"Are finished." Kaye finished for him as she too finally stood.
"Hey sis, are you ok?" Cye asked in concern as he noticed the silver wings starting to disappear from her back.
"Yeah, just a little tired...How about you? Are you ok?" Kaye asked as she looked over to him.
"Yeah, just tired too, I guess." Cye replied. "Hey, look we did it."
"We did it." Kaye repeated back with a small smile. "It's time to go back." Cye nodded and then when they opened their eyes they found themselves back in the room where Thunder, Talpa and Jakada were waiting.
"Are you two ok?" Thunder asked in concern.
"Yeah Thunder, we're ok just a little tired." Cye replied as he leaned back.
"Dream Walker, how did my son do?" Talpa asked.
"He's getting better, but we're only half way done." Kaye replied as she winced while she leaned back.
Talpa nodded and then he and Jakada left the three alone. "So, what happened?" Thunder asked as he looked over to them in concern.
Kaye started to slowly get up, "Cye, if you want to, you can fill him in." Kaye replied as she then walked over to the bathroom, shut the door and locking it behind her.
"Is she all right?" Thunder asked, "Cye, what happened?" Cye took a deep breath and filled Thunder in on everything.
As the boys were talking, Kaye took off her shirt, turned around and looked behind her to see that there were two long oval slits that were on her shoulder blades. "So what Cye said is true, I did have silver wings physically materialize on my back. What's happening to me?" Kaye wondered as she was starting to feel scared, while she put her shirt back on and opened the bathroom door and walked out.
