Chapter 8
Saiji walked down the hall controlling the movement of Ascot's body. "I want to see what's going on." Ascot mumbled under his breath. "Be silent." Saiji said. "I'll allow you only one eye to see from and talk to me in your mind nothing else or we'll be discovered." Ascot nodded the head only to cause Saiji to sigh. He then stopped for a moment and shut his eyes. When he opened them one eye was still cold and cruel but the other was warm and passionate. Ascot sent a thank you mentally and they continued on.
You castle is magnificent. Ascot said mentally
A castle built by my ancestors. Murderous ones like I am. He replied coldly.
Thank you for helping us.
I'm only helping you to find out the truth of my beloved's death. If indeed they killed her then I shall kill them.
WHAT! You can't kill them if they took over Eagle and Ferio's body!
"I have my ways." Saiji said out loud.
"Ways with what brother?" asked Eri who was standing in the corridor they had just passed. Saiji would have turned around right away but he lowered the hair above his left eye, the eye that Ascot could see through. He then turned and saw the frame of Ferio grinning evilly. Ascot looked at him through the hair and almost shouted out if Saiji didn't use his mind to hold him back. He kept telling him to stop but Ascot was stubborn. Eri walked up to his older brother and gave a small smirk. He then stretched out his arms and sighed.
"So?" he asked. "So what?" Saiji replied desperately holding Ascot back. "Never mind. Come we must talk our eldest brother seems to have a problem." Eri said as they continued down the hall. "Do tell what is wrong with Kenzi." Saiji said. Inside his mind he was finally able to let Ascot go when he promised to say quiet and listen. Ascot looked at Ferio and couldn't help but want to get sick. Ferio was a friend to him and seeing the evil and disgusting brother of Saiji controlling him made him angry.
"Seem that the vessel are brother has chosen is weak. A pathetic piece of man that will soon fall into a sleep." Eri explained. "He need another vessel and soon." Ascot let the mouth drop and Saiji and to quickly closed it and said, "He will find someone. Who, it does not matter to me. He was the one who chose that pathetic excuse for a human. " Ascot couldn't believe it. He wanted to shout out but he didn't instead he let Saiji continue walking them down the hall. Just then Eri stopped in front of the door to his room. "Excuse me. my lady is waiting for me. Do stop by and see your brother." Laughed Eri cruelly. Ascot looked inside and could see Fuu looking fearfully at Eri.
We have to help her! Ascot said mentally to Saiji trying to pull away.
Stop it you fool! You will jeopardize everything.
But. if Fuu is harmed. I can't allow her too get harmed and know about it! I must do something.
Do not fear she is strong. She will be fine now, give me control so we do not look odd!
Ascot did as he was told and allowed him to control his body. He led them down the corridor and into a room where he saw the limping body of Eagle desperately trying to stay awake. Ascot gasped and that only caused the attention of the old man hovering over Eagle to look up. "Aye Lord Saiji please come hither and help your brother onto the table." He said. Saiji strode over and helped his brother onto the table. "I'm attempting to give him some energy so he can live long enough to find another body." Said the old man holding his staff above the head of Eagle. Ascot looked worried while Saiji remained cold.
"After the energy is transferred he will not be able to control himself." Said the old man. Saiji's eyes widened. Then it looked devious. Ascot could sense this and tried to get him to tell but he refused to answer. The two then watched the energy ritual.
Fuu looked away from Eri as he massaged her shoulder slowly. His cold hands made her shiver as she wished everything would go back to normal. How she wished she was safe in her Ferio's arms. How she wished she would marry him and they could be happy forever. "You stray from me." Eri said coldly into her ear. "I'm cold Sir Eri." She responded looking into the cold eyes. He held her against him and smiled. His hand trailed down her back causing her to shiver. A tear formed in her eye but she blinked it back and then closed her eyes.
After the ritual Eagle's body lied rigid against the table. The old man had left the room leaving Saiji grinning menacingly. "What are we going to do?" Ascot asked aloud. "Not 'we'." Saiji replied moving over to the table and looking at his weaker brother. He placed his hand on the head of Eagle and then pulled out a strand of his hair. The body lurched and then the eyes flashed open and then as quickly as they opened the rolled back and closed.
"Brother." said Saiji. "Tell me brother do you remember when we were children?" The mouth opened and he made a noise that sounded like he was saying "yes". Saiji looked happily and then moved to the other side of the table and once again asked the same question, which unknowing to Kenzi he was replying what Saiji wanted to hear.
"Who is Orisa?" Asked Saiji. "The peasant my brother loves." He replied. "Why did he love her?" asked Saiji. Kenzi didn't reply. Instead his body shook as though he was shrugging. Saiji hissed dangerously causing Ascot to shudder. "What happened to her?" Saiji demanded. "She was murdered." Kenzi replied. His voice lowered and his eyes darkened. Ascot looked at the brother and noticed the hatred growing in his eyes. Then he heard him away, "Who murdered her." After a moment Eagle's mouth opened and he said, "Eri, On my orders."
In an instant Saiji left the room his eyes darkening greatly and hatred upon everything. Ascot could feel his anger growing and if he had allowed him to continue he would surely destroy the bodies his brother's inhabited.
"I'll destroy them." Saiji said allowed.
"No. please! Don't hurt my friends!" Ascot begged.
"Why wait he's weak now!"
"PLEASE!"
"Fine. I have a better way to kill them. First I must make contact to your world. Cephiro."
On Cephiro, Lantis was in the throne room alone looking out the window. Sitting on his shoulder was Primera. His heart was aching greatly for Hikaru and Eagle. He wanted to know if they would be all right and if they weren't what could he do. Just then there was a light coming from behind him. Lantis turned around and him and Primera's mouth's widened. There standing in the blue light was Ascot's body. Right away Lantis pulled out his sword as though preparing to attack when Ascot's voice sounded.
"LANTIS! Please. I'm okay we all are okay!" he said. Lantis wasn't so sure. He approached with caution. "Sir." said Saiji's voice. "I require you assistance." Lantis looked confused and his grip on his sword tightened. "You can trust him!" said Ascot. "Come into the light we need your help!" Lantis looked at Primera and said, "Go tell the others now. Hurry!" Primera nodded and flew off while Lantis stared into the light.
Only a few minutes later the throne room burst open and Clef stood with Lafarga, Presea, Caldina, and Primera. "Lantis!" Clef said. A bead of sweat fell from the side of Clef's head. This power. this energy is amazing. He thought and yet it's so close but feels so far away. "I'm going in!" said Lantis suddenly. "WHAT!" everyone shouted! He then ran strait into the light. As the light began to die Clef held up his wand and chanted a few words and then the light completely died. He collapsed to one knee.
"Guru!" said Presea helping him. "Are. are you all right?" she asked in worry. Clef nodded. "Yes. I used a spell so I can open up the portal and keep in contact with Lantis. If any trouble I can help them and allow them to return to Cephiro!"
On the other side of the portal Lantis stood in a circular room where there was only an orb. In front of him stood Ascot, one eye looking happily the other with hatred. Lantis drew his sword but Ascot spoke, "Lantis." Lantis froze unsure of what to do. "Its okay Saiji is on our side." Said Ascot. Then Saiji spoke, "Yes now quickly follow me to Hikaru." He then hurried along the corridors. After a few twists and turns the came to a door that was black and had blood red gems in it. "This is my brother's room." Said Saiji.
Inside the room Hikaru was sitting by the window with her hands clasped tightly together. Her mind wondered to Eagle knowing that in his weakened condition he wouldn't be able to stay awake and would fall back into his coma. Just as she was thinking it, the door clicked open. Hikaru thinking it was Kenzi Hikaru turned her head and shut her eyes. "Miss Hikaru." Said Saiji. Hikaru turned around and looked at Ascot's body. "What do you want?" she asked a bit uneasy. He stepped aside and Lantis walked in. Hikaru's eyes widened and she stood up. "Lantis!" she said in shock. "Hikaru." Said Lantis. Tears filled her eyes and she ran into his arms holding him tightly.
"But how?" she questioned looking into his dark eyes. Lantis looked over at Ascot and said, "Ask him." Hikaru looked at him and then slowly approached him. She then bowed and said, "Thank you." Saiji brought Ascot's hand to her shoulder. "If this allows me to get my revenge then it'll all be worth it Miss Hikaru." He said. "Now we must find away to help the ones my brother have taken over."
He closed the door and then held out his hand, which contained an orb. He then pressed a button and it showed an image of Ferio and Eagle's bodies. "As you know my brother Kenzi controls Eagle and Eri controls Ferio. My brother's have frozen them inside their mind putting them in a status or sleep. The only way to free them is by breaking the hold. Obviously I let Ascot go but I doubt my brothers will leave them. Anyway I figure if I can transfer my spirit into there bodies I can break the hold and then freeze my brothers into the state of sleep and then remove them from the bodies and back into Debiru. Of course it'll be hard but I believe I can do it."
"What about Eagle?" Hikaru asked.
Saiji sighed. "I'm afraid if I enter his mind I might kill him with him being already to weak. The only way I can see it is if Kenzi leaves Eagle's body for a new one. We'll deal with Eri first though and then we'll deal with Kenzi." He then stopped for a moment looking at Lantis and Hikaru. "Ascot remember do not say a word." Warned Saiji. "Okay." Said Ascot. "What do I do?" asked Lantis. "Protect Hikaru." He replied leaving the room.
Kenzi opened his eyes. He felt stronger now but for how long would he be strong. He needed another vessel and soon. Where could he find one? Just then he felt a presence in the castle. "Someone is here." he hissed. He then closed his eyes and grinned.
Saiji came to the room where Fuu was being held. He hoped that his brother was still there. He took a breath and then knocked on the door. A moment later the door opened and Eri opened the door. Behind him he saw Fuu with tears in her eyes. "Yes?" said Eri annoyed with his presence. Saiji entered the room and said, "Brother there is an intruder in the castle!" Eri looked lazy. "Send the guards to handle it most likely someone trying to steal the treasures." He said. Eri then looked over at Fuu and then was about to touch her when Ascot's eyes grew red. Then the spirit of Saiji flew out and right into the mouth. Eri screamed in pain.
Fuu gasped. "Fuu are you okay?" asked Ascot running to her. "Yes I'm fine but what's going on?" she asked. Ascot quickly explained everything. Fuu then knelt down and picked up Ferio's body. "Ferio. please be okay!" she cried.
Hikaru paced around the room while Lantis leaned against the wall. "I hope there okay." Said Hikaru to Lantis. "We must trust that this Saiji can help us. He's the only chance we have in freeing our friends." Said Lantis. Hikaru nodded but the thing that bothered her most was Eagle. Would he be all right? Will he survive?
Just then the door opened and Hikaru sighed with relief. "You guys made. OH MY GOD!" she screamed. There standing in the doorway was Kenzi in Eagle's body smiling evilly. Lantis jumped up and drew his sword and stood in front of Hikaru. "You wouldn't strike me as long as I'm in his body." Said Kenzi. Lantis growled and then glared at him. "He'll die soon anyway so why not end his pain and then you can get rid of me forever?" he questioned. Hikaru gasped. Kenzi then eyed Hikaru.
"Unless you want to make a trade." He said slyly. "Trade?" Lantis asked. "Yes, a trade." He hissed back. "What kind of trade?" asked Lantis his grip tightening on the sword. Kenzi moved closer into the room and then smiled a weak and evil smile. "You trade me your life for this pathetic ones." Lantis eyes widened. "If you don't then I can kill him!" Kenzi then pulled out a blade and stabbed Eagle in the shoulder. Hikaru screamed and shouted, "NO!" Lantis eye's widened and then saw him breathing hard. "Your choice!"
In Ferio's mind Eri stood in front of the sleeping Ferio. "You traitor!" shouted Eri. Saiji laughed. "Me a traitor? You were the one who betrayed me by destroying me beloved!" he then held out his hand and a plasma ball Eri defended him self and then ran at his brother. The two drew their swords and then began to fight. The two seemed equally match when Saiji jumped back and shot three plasma balls at Eri. Eri dodged them with ease but no sooner he did he remembered something. He turned around and saw the balls strike the barrier surrounding Ferio. The barrier broke and Ferio fell down and opened his eyes. "What the? What happened?" he said. Just then he saw Eri and Saiji fighting. "HELP ME RECLAIM YOUR MIND!" Saiji shouted.
Ferio didn't really understand what was going on but he wasn't going to let anyone be in his mind anymore. He closed his eyes and held out his hands a sword appeared. He then ran at Eri and pierced him in the back. "YOU WON'T CONTROL ME ANY MORE!" His sword then began to glow and then it shouted out and surrounded Eri enclosing him in a case. Ferio then looked at Saiji when Saiji said, "Wake up!"
Ferio awoke with his vision blurry. When it became clear he saw Fuu looking at him. "Fuu." he said weakly. "FERIO!" Fuu shouted in happiness. He hugged him to her and began to cry. "Ferio. I though you were oh Ferio I love you!" When the broke apart Saiji said, "Ascot if you'd be so kind to allow me inside you with my paralyzed brother I can take him back to our body." Ascot nodded and opened his mind freely. Saiji's spirit left Ferio's body with Eri in tow. Once he entered Ascot again Ascot said, "It's kind of crowded!" "Don't worry let's hurry to the room where our body is. so we can transfer Eri and there and then go after my eldest brother. "Yeah but let's get Umi first!" Ascot suggested.
The group got to Umi and freed then they explained everything while heading up to the tower. They came to the body where the combined brothers' body was. Saiji then transferred Eri inside the body. "Now to find my eldest brother." He said. Just then he stopped short and saw something flash in his mind. Ascot saw it as well.
"What's wrong?" Umi asked touching Ascot's hand. "I saw Eagle!" he said. "He's with Hikaru and Lantis!" said Saiji. "What's he doing?" asked Ferio. "He's going to switch bodies!" said Saiji. "We must stop him before he does!" said Fuu. The group then followed Ascot to Kenzi's chamber.
"Make your choice!" said Kenzi dangerously twisting the blade in Eagle' shoulder. Hikaru began to cry and Lantis bit his lip. He then threw down his sword and said, "I agree." Hikaru gasped and held onto his arm. "NO Lantis you can't!" she cried. He pulled away and said, "I won't let Eagle die!" Hikaru didn't want either Lantis or Eagle to get hurt and she began to cry. Kenzi laughed and then exited Eagle's body. His spirit flew at Lantis and inside his mouth. Hikaru ran to Eagle's body and caught him before he fell. "EAGLE! EAGLE!" she cried.
Just then Ascot and Saiji entered the room with Fuu, Ferio and Umi right behind him. "HIKARU!" shouted Umi and Fuu. "NO were to late!" shouted Saiji. Just then Lantis stood up and his eyes opened into a cold black stare he then grinned. "You fools!" he laughed.
Author's Note- All I have to say is this I don't own Magic Knight Rayearth but I own Kenzi, Eri, and Saiji I made them up. Oh and Orisa. Well bye.

Hikaru gasped and held onto his arm. "NO Lantis you can't!" she cried. He pulled away and said, "I won't let Eagle die!" Hikaru didn't want either Lantis or Eagle to get hurt and she began to cry. Kenzi laughed and then exited Eagle's body. His spirit flew at Lantis and inside his mouth. Hikaru ran to Eagle's body and caught him before he fell. "EAGLE! EAGLE!" she cried.
Just then Ascot and Saiji entered the room with Fuu, Ferio and Umi right behind him. "HIKARU!" shouted Umi and Fuu. "NO were to late!" shouted Saiji. Just then Lantis stood up and his eyes opened into a cold black stare he then grinned. "You fools!" he laughed.
Author's Note- All I have to say is this I don't own Magic Knight Rayearth but I own Kenzi, Eri, and Saiji I made them up. Oh and Orisa. Well bye.
