Ch. 16 Cont. Remembering the Past

As the ship went back to the shrine, they saw that the shrine was collapsing. To everyone's horror, the dragons did not come out. Nothing came out. Not even a little fish.

"Oh no, did they get caught in something?" Kei said, looking around for any sign of the dragons.

"I don't know, but they better be OK" Umi said as she too, looked for the dragons. The others joined in looking for the dragons, but couldn't find anything. I mean, they really don't have to look hard, for the dragons are really big. Suddenly, there was rumbling in the shrine, and 2 dragons shot out of the water, swimming all the way up to the surface. Their sudden movements rushed the water, making lots of splashes and waves. The ship tried to follow them out, but the waves stopped them. The ship gave another jolt, and everyone in it fell.

"Oww.." Kei said as she got up. "Everyone ok?"

"Yeah, I think so." Fuu said while getting up.

"Are you, ok?" Eagle asked as he walked towards Kei.

"Oh no, I don't think he is!" Hikaru said as she was scrambling towards Geo.

~Flash back~

"Kyaaa!" Kei was screaming. The ship was going to crash because of the waves. Everyone else fell to the ground, groaning.

"Kei!" Geo was running towards her, trying to help, but tripped for something grabbed him. Something was.

~End flash back~

'Geo.' Something was talking to him. 'Geo, wake up. I have to explain to you about the memory erase thing.' It was the lord. He was talking to him, once more in his mind. (No, he didn't trip because of the creator)

'What.' Geo got up, and saw darkness all around him. 'Where am I?'

'You are on the bridge of Heaven and Earth. Well, now that you woke up, let me explain, then, I'll show you why I had to erase your memory.'

'Ok.' Geo said, and walked around in the darkness, looking around for any sign of light, or any kind of object. He couldn't really tell if he was walking strait or not. All he could do there was just walk around.

'Well, here I go.' The creator gave a sigh (I don't know if he/she does or not, but oh well) 'When you were little, you know why you and Kei are half siblings, right?'

'Yeah.' Geo said, looking around for God. I mean, if he/she was talking to him, then he/she must be here.

'Well, you know how the story goes till that point then. After that, you saw Kei growing up, and you were just doing brotherly jobs. You know, taking care of her. You did a splendid job! Until she got the dragon egg, you were ok with everything. After she got the dragon egg, you changed.'

'What.? I changed?' Geo asked, giving up on the search, sitting down cross- legged. (Well, sitting on empty space, that is. Oh, no he is not floating or anything though. Not like space, I tell you)

'Yes. Kei changed also. She was so depressed about the dragon leaving. She loved that dragon, just as the others. Then, that's when you changed. I have no idia what happed, but you stopped talking to your parents, Kei's guardians, (The dragons, dogs/wolves and etc) you even stopped talking to Kei!'

'I . did .?' Geo said slowly.

'Yes. Well, like I said, I have no suggestion why. You just stopped talking. You knew that your parents were holograms, only the young Kei didn't know. Soon as you stopped talking, the holograms began to fade, and eventually, I had to get rid of it. That's when I took Kei, and transported her over here.'

'So, that black hole thingy was you?' Geo asked.

'Yes, the only reason not to take you was that you stopped talking and all, so I thought you were.' He/she stopped there, hesitated, and started again. 'Listen, you must not tell this to kei, ok?'

'Urr. sure.' Geo replied.

'Ok. Well, I thought that you were sent by the evil spirits. The spirits eats the heart of a pure soul, and I knew that Kei had the right soul for the spirit's dish. I thought that you became too touched to her, and couldn't get the soul. I knew that you were Kei's brother, and I wasn't truly sure of the spirit thing, so I sent you to Otozam. I am sorry.'

'Oh, well, I don't remember my self about the speechless myself. I don't remember still. Is there a way to retrieve your memories?'

'No, I'm afraid not.'

'Oh.' Geo looked down. He really wanted to know why. He couldn't stand still for the thought of giving Kei a hard time. 'Wait, why did the holograms begin to break down?'

'I don't know that either.'

'Well. Thanks anyway, for telling me the truth.'

'Well, I have to show you one more thing.'

'What is it?' As soon as Geo said this, light filled the darkness, and Geo suddenly woke up in a middle of his past. He was in a room with Kei, at Otozam. This was when he had no idea that Kei was his sister.

"Hey, you woke up." The past Geo was walking towards the bed with breakfast.

"Yeah," Said Kei, yawning. "Thank you." She said as he arranged her breakfast on to a table.

"No prob. Hey, I was wondering, you know that pendant you have? Can I see it? Or is it private?" Geo was looking at the pendant on the desk.

"Well." Kei said. She thought carefully. If she showed him, then he might remember, but she still wanted to know more info on him. She wanted to know why he didn't remember her. "Sure." Kei tossed the pendant to him. Geo carefully examined the picture in the pendant.

"This is you, I can tell, but." Geo stopped, and scratched head. He studied the pendant more closely, and said, "That. looks .. Like . me ."

Kei gulped, she did want him to remember her, but she wanted also for him not to remember. Kei knew she had a brother, but she did not know why they were separated. She thought that he had abandoned her or some thing like that. She was afraid of the out come when she tells him the truth. After she cleared her throat, she said "Well, that's me and . and . my friend." She looked down, shamed of her self. She didn't have the courage to tell him.

"Oh, well, you look very nice next to each other." Geo tossed the pendant back, still thinking. To him, it was kind of like Dejabu. He kind of knew her, or at least saw her when she was that small. "Well, I'll leave this here; I have to go check on Eagle. As he said this, he walked out of the room, and closed the door behind him.

"I guess he didn't notice a thing." Kei sighed and put the pendant on. She looked at her young self and her brother. Geo. She then stood up and ate breakfast.

After the Geo (now, not the past Geo) saw the past, he was back into his world. He woke up in one of the rooms of the ship. Suddenly, he heard foot steps. He tilted his head a bit to see who was walking over.

It was Kei. As soon as she saw him up, she exclaimed, "Geo! You're awake!" She dropped the water, and ran to Geo. Then she hugged him. Surprised, Geo couldn't talk for a while.

He cleared his throat, after Kei had unhugged him, and said, "I . what happened?" He really did not know what had happened. All he remembers is the conversation he had with the Lord.

"You were knocked out! Are you OK?" Kei was still worried about him.

Remembering everything then, Geo jolted out of the bed, and said "Wait! What happened to the dragons?"

"They are up in the sky. Celes is trying to comfort him. We won't be able to go out, for the waves are too risky to go by. We can get another of those sea-shakes that we had earlier. I hope Celes is ok." Kei looked up, as if to see them talking.

"I sure hope so." Geo said. "Don't worry, they will be OK." Geo patted Kei's head and smiled.

The two talked more, and they had no idea that someone was watching them. Someone was watching them talk. This certain someone was Eagle. It was he, who had tripped Geo so he could not reach Geo. He was jealous. He was jealous for the fact that Kei spends time with Geo more than him. Especially because Geo informed that Kei loves Eagle, not him. But at the bottom of his heart, Eagle suspects that Geo likes Kei, too. He watched them talk. He didn't ever see Kei smile like that to him. Kei always smiled to everyone, and was very nice to everyone, but he never ever saw Kei look like that towards Geo. She was smiling broadly, and laughing while smiling. Her eyes showed comfort, and happiness. Eagle sighed at the view he was looking at, and left with out a word.

After 3 minuets or so, the water seemed to come to peace. Kei went to the control room, and moved the ship towards the air. When they were up in the air, they saw the most horrifying thing. Two dragons were fighting. It was Celes and Karyu. They were clawing each other, and biting each other.

"No! You guys! Stop it!" Kei yelled, falling to her knees.

"Celes!" Umi was looking up in a worried look.

"Oh no! We have to do something! Let's go up on the roof of the ship!" Eagle ran out of the room, closely followed by Hikaru, Umi, and Fuu. Eagle wanted to appeal himself to Kei. He wanted to show her that he wanted to really help her. After the 4 of them got up, they saw more horrifying view. The sky was much more grayer, and there seemed to be a storm coming. Soon after they saw that, Kei and Geo came out.

Seeing the sky, Kei said in a horrified look, "No! Karyu! Stop! You'll put everyone in danger!"

"What? What's wrong?" Hikaru said, looking at Kei.

"I know it's a bad weather, but it's just a storm." Umi said, once more, looking at the sky.

"It's not an ordinary storm! All of my dragons have the emblem wind, thunder, and their special emblem. They have no ordinary thunder emblem! The thunder my dragons have might cause Cephiro's waters to be destroyed!" Kei was looking down, hopeless.

"Why?" Eagle asked, and Geo looked at Kei in a confused look.

"Because, water conducts electricity." Fuu said in a horrified voice.

The dragons took no notice of the ship, or the humans getting out.

"Gwaa! Leave me alone! I won't believe this!" Karyu was still giving a fit about him being Kei's dragon. As he said this, his anger grew, and more thunder clouds began to come.

"No! You will believe it! What's so wrong with being with Kei-sama?" Celes asked madly, clawing Karyu.

"I am not in league with humans!" yelled Karyu.

Hearing Karyu's voice, Kei looked up. "What has happened? Why can't we get along? Are humans bad?" Kei said is loudly, so Karyu can hear.

Finally noticing them down below, the dragons looked down. Then, Karyu boomed, "Yes! They are filthy idiots!"

"Why?" Kei asked.

"None of your business!" Karyu's temper grew, and so did the clouds above him.

"But, I want to help you!" Kei yelled, tears running down her cheek. "I really do. I want to help." She sobbed.

Seeing Kei, his temper grew even more. "That's what the other humans said, right when they took me away from you!"

"You knew that you belonged to Kei?" Eagle yelled back.

"Yes! I knew, but I didn't know that I was a friend of her. The people who took me away said that you were going to sell me for my scales when I grew up. They said that they wanted to help!" Karyu roared.

"NO! I want to help you, I want you back!" Kei yelled, clapping her hand over her ears. She didn't want to hear any more of this. She just wanted Karyu back. "Karyu, come back to me!"

"I ." The clouds above him grew a little less. He now remembered the past of himself. He remembered Kei. Just a little bit of his past. He remembered himself, protecting Kei from the hunters. "I ." Just as he was opening his mouth again, there was a huge thunder bolt coming right at the ship!

"Kei, get in! Quickly!" Eagle was pulling her once more, but stopped, looking up at the flying object.

"No! Karyu!" Kei was screaming. She saw Karyu flying towards the ship. Then, to everyone's surprise and horror, they saw that Karyu had protected them, using himself as the shield. The blue wounded dragon slowly sank towards the water. The dragon looked down, and stopped sinking down.

Karyu opened his mouth a little and spoke. "Fore give me, Kei-sama. I forgot ." As Karyu said the last words, the dragon splashed into the water, and the clouds slowly disappeared into the dark sky. No one moved, for they where relieved for that they were safe, but horrified of the fact that the dragon saved them, using himself as the shield.

Fuu was the first to recover. She quickly moved herself down the lower deck, towards the fallen dragon. Seeing Fuu leave, Hikaru and Umi followed without a sound. They apparently had lost the ability to speak, because of the last scene they have seen. Kei was still staring at no where. She was too shocked. She was shocked at the fact that her dragon was alive, then betrayed by it, and then him dieing. Everything happened all at once, Kei was confused. She slowly moved her hands towards her head and fell to her knees.

"No . No ." Kei said her voice shaking. "Karyu . No, this is a dream, this is a nightmare! Wake up! Wake up!" Kei kept hitting herself until Eagle and Geo grabbed her hands.

"No, this is not a dream." Eagle said looking down at her with heartbreaking eyes.

"Kei, you must face the reality." Geo bend down and picked her up. Kei sobbed. "It's ok, you can cry now. Don't hold back." Geo said softly. As he said this, Kei broke into endless tears streaming down. "Let's get her down to the beds." He motioned Eagle to go down. Once again, Eagle was filled with jealousy. Eagle followed Geo and Kei closely, watching them.

"Kei! Geo! Eagle! Come here! Quick!" It was Hikaru yelling. "Karyu might be OK!" As soon as they heard that, Eagle and Geo ran as fast as they could down the hall to where the lower deck was. (Kei didn't run, for Geo carried her) Kei was still clinging onto Geo, crying, but she was looking strait to where she heard Hikaru's voice. She hoped that her information was true.

"What do you mean, Hikaru?" Eagle said, panting, who had just came in with Geo and Kei.

"Look for your self." Umi motioned the 3 to go foreword. The 3 moved towards where Fuu was using her healing magic on Karyu. Karyu's wounds have healed, and slowly waking up.

"Kei-sama!" Karyu exclaimed, and stood up. (water dragons can stand on water) Kei clamped her hands on her mouth, and jumped off of Geo's arms, and ran to Karyu.

"Karyu! Karyu!" She said, as she hugged him. Karyu and Kei both had tears running down their faces. "Karyu! Your back."
