Return of Anemos

Chapter 12 - Escapes
--------------------------------------------------
Robin found himself in deep thought as he walked towards the barracks of the Anemian army. Or at least, used to be the Army of Anemia. It made no sense how the leaders of Anemia had lost their reason or honor. It was as if they were all being controlled. Yet to control such powerful beings would take a massive ammount of energy; even Zeus didn't have that kind of energy.
He had been surprised to learn that Zeus was unaffected by whatever it was that chaged the council. Zeus had been a warrior through and through, greater than any freaky monster that the scientists had created. And if he thought that the council would turn on them, he wouldn't sit around and wait for it to happen.
Which was what wat happening now.
Last he heard, Zeus was heading to interrogate Hamma, the Returner, presumably having something to do with that location beacon in Vale. Knowing Zeus, he would probably teleport her away somewhere, possibly to wherever Isaac had been sent to...
ISaac... Robin had been shocked at seeing a doppleganger of himself as his opponent. Zeus had not said anything about it, or for that matter, told him where he came from. He was drastically weaker, but that was because of the disease. Then Isaac had somehow used Jupitarian mind powers on him, causing him to obey his instincts. How had THAT happened? No Venusian had ever had mind abilities, and it seemed unlikey that it should ever happen.
So how HAD it happened?
Shaking his head, Robin cleared his thoughts. They would need to go somewhere where they could cause as much trouble for Anemia as possible. But where? Ares had already captured Mercury Lighthouse, and Jupiter Lighthouse was just over the hill. That left Venus and Mars Lighthouses for Anemos to claim. The Venus tower was too far in "enemy" territory to maintain the control over the freak army, so what WAS closer that they could?
Mars Lighthouse.
Near Prox.
Deciding on his course of action, he strode to chat with his comrades...

Sitting within her cell, Hamma once again stared at her surroundings. The room was barely five by five, with the only light coming from a small crack in the door. A small cot had been thrown in prior to her arrival, next to a small hole in the floor. She had considered seeing if there was a way to use THAT as a means of escape, but she knew better. All that would accomplish would be her death, as she would be stuck... And noone had checked on her since meal time...
The door slowly opened, and she braced herself for imminent danger. After all, noone simply locks up someone for the fun of it...
She froze as the form of Zeus entered the room, a troubled look on his face. Odd... She expected someone to enter to beat her silly or some other captor thing...
"Hamma, I have instructions to use you to find Isaac."
Her eyes widened at that statement. *Isaac was lost? How? When? Why did noone tell her...?* She stared at Zeus, waiting for an explination. Seeing as he wasn't going to produce one, she decided to speak. "What do you mean?"
"Isaac was sent to Vale a couple of days ago to act as a location beacon for us to track the citizens. We just have lost contact with the signal, and...need you to reestablish the link."
She felt the blood drain from her face. "How would I do that?"
"We would use you to... Visit Isaac and confirm that he is alive..."
*Wait... Something doesn't sound right...*
Zeus, to Hamma's shock, started to shake his head. "Hamma, I'll level with you. The Council wants me to force you to establish a telepathic link with Isaac, then torture you to show him what happens when he disobeys, and to kill you if we do not contact him."
If she was pale earlier, Hamma was bone white now. "So..."
"It goes against the code to do such to an innocent. And truth be told, the Council and I are not seeing eye to eye anymore.
"Hamma, I would like to...defect."
She raised her eyebrows at THAT. The last thing she expected when the door opened was for Zeus to open up that way...
Staring at him, she found herself speachless...
"I will take you to Isaac, and will promise that no harm will come to you."
"How do I know that I can trust you?"
"I could simply carry out my orders."
She swallowed. "True..."
He walked up to her, wrapping her in his arms, and before she could ask him where they were going, a bright light enveloped them...

Ivan walked along the edge of Prox, pondering recent events. It had taken the better part of the day to explain himself to Feihzi, and somehow, she didn't hold him responsible for her injury. And once he had calmed down, he had decided that a bit of fresh air would do him some good...
Was it his imagination, or was there something north of where he stood?
Nah, his imagination.
...But if it was his imagination, it was a darned good illusion. About a hundred humans walking towards him, with one way out in front, looking like...
...No, he was seeing things. Yes, that was it.
But as the person closed in, he couldn't deny the resemblence...
And as the person walked up to him and spoke, he had to admit it - it HAD to be him...
"Ivan, the army of Anemos would like to ally with the army of Prox."
