Chapter LXIV- Dragons of Destiny Part III
"Over there!" I pointed as there was a small clearing in the brush that looked like the place we might have landed before. We landed in the trees, and both me and Erika put away our wings and scouted out the area, while Ryu landed with a thud.
"Crap..." Erika said and we suddenly heard a bonchilling roar. Like the howl of a wolf, a roar of a dragon, and the song of a Milotic all in one. It was beyond creepy. Me and Erika looked at each other, and then looked forward through the trees where we noticed a large hole in the once solid wall.
"Score!" I said and we ran over to it, looking inside. It was dark, but the whole was big enough for even Ryu to fit in, so he stuck his head in along with ours, which helped light the corridor up. There were fixtures hanging by wires onto the ceiling, flickering and sparking everyonce in a while. Ryu stepped inside and looked around, and we both hoped onto his back while we travled through the dark corridors. At last we came to the door Jarod had hacked.
"Hey! If the power is out in this section....bet you the alarm system doen't work!" I said and Erika turned aroudn smirking at me.
"Shall we test that theory?" Erika said and suddenly, Ryu charged forward, bashing down the massive steel doors in one fail safe swoop. "All the pokemon...where are they?" She said and we looked from one cage to the next. All of them were either broken open, or the latches were melted off.
"Somebody must have done this..." I said and looked around to the corner near the stairs. Erika noticed I had leaned over a bit, and looked the direction I was facing as well.
"Who....?" Erika said and then her eyes suddenly go wide. "TOBIAS!" She shouted and jumped off Ryu.
"Ugh...Erika he's a bad guy remember...?" I said and stayed on Ryu's back. I could hear him make a few painful noises, then suddenly he spoke rather quietly, but it echoed in the now empty room,
"Get.....out.....run...Manuella.........she...the dragon..." He gasped every so often, and Erika kneeled down and took his arm, throwing it over her shoulder. "I said run..." He was still mumbling as Ryu knelt down and both her and Tobias got on.
"He's not really a bad guy. He's just in the wrong place at the wrong time." She said and we made our way up the stairs to where Ryunoshi was. Ryu bashed through those as well, moving the twisted metal doors off to the side of the balcony. Hey layed down, and both me and Erika jumped off him. We looked down into the cavernous room, and saw Ryunoshi, rolled onto her back once again, with Manuella standing on her stomach, talking to her. She suddenly looked up at us, and it was like someone took a icicle and shoved it through my heart, like her eyes had went right through me to the wall behind.
"I knew you would come back." She began in a cold and somewhat more toned down voice. "All of my pokemon maybe gone.....but I still have one left that rivals the power of all of them combined...." She said and looked down at Ryunoshi again.
"What do you plan to do Manuella? If you release her....we all die." I shouted down to her, but she didn't even bother to glance up.
"She's already been released....can't you see that?" I looked down, and glanced around and did indeed notice that there were no chains attached to her anywhere, where as before it seemed like hundreds were wrapped around her entire body. But as I looked back to Manuella, I did notice something else, something that wasn't there before. I pointed to it and said,
"Erika look!" Erika looked down at Ryunoshi's neck where it seemed like some sort of metal collar was strapped tightly around her neck.
"What is it?" Erika said, but before we could do anything she looked up and us again with those sames lifeless eyes as before and shouted,
"She has been released into this world to be put into MY possession!!! *evil laugh* And with her...I will rule this puny world!!.....KILL THEM!!!!"
"RUN!" I yelled, and all of us quickly dodged into the next room as Ryunoshi lunged at us from below the balcony. She stuck her head through the door, her yellow eyes glowing in the darkness of thlarge empty room. "Keep going Ryu!! Head outside!" I said, but he didn't seem to respond for a moment, and I stared at him as he watched Ryunoshi.
"RYU!" Erika shouted and he suddenly dodged through the other door as there was a massive earthcrushing sound of Ryunoshi bounding her way through the doorway. Ryu dodged into the massive hole that lead outside and we jumped off him as he continued to fly into the air with Tobias on his back. I knew that everyone would be watching the Island. I knew that they were worried, I know that I was worried, but we had to stop her no matter what it took. Me and Erika both spread our wings as we saw her massive head peak through the hole and watched her even more massive body destroy what was left of the wall and roof to get to us.
"Ok....so what's the plan...?" I could hear Erika say as we both looked forward at the menacing black dragon.
"........I..........I don't know..." I said and tried frantically to think of something. 'We can't lead her to Ryu....we can't lead her back to shore...we can't hold her off here forever...if for even 5 minutes...'....."We have to calm her down somehow...so we can get the colalr off." I said, wathcing her emerge from the rubble.
"Ok...so how do you plan to do that...?" Erika asked and finally turned to look at me, as I turned to look at her, we both took our eyes off the creature, but could still see it lurking out of the corner of our eyes. Then I thought of something suddenly.
"I'll.....apologize." I said and suddenly, we both turned back to see her jump at us. We both jumped into the air and for a moment we were abover her, until she stood on her hind legs and was as tall as the overgrown trees.
"And to think...she hasn't even flown anywhere ye..." But just as Erika said that she spread her wings. They were odd. They were bad wings, but without the fine skin inbetweeen the bones.
"Aw dang it..." I said as we both shot upwards as fast as we could. There was a massive upcurrent of wind as she flapped her wings, that blew us off balance, and we both tried to regain it. We eventually managed to glide for a few seconds, before she outreached a massive paw and suddenly grabbed Erika. "ERIKA!!" I shouted and stood my ground, which caught Ryunoshi off guard.
"I'M SORRY!!!!!" I shouted with all my might, and continued as quickly as I could, "I'm a bad trainer!! I never should have let you go!! This is all my fault!! You are the way you are now because of me!! Please!! Don't hurt Erika!! Let her go...RYUNOSHI!!!....LET HER GOOO!!!" I shouted with the last ounce of my voice. "Please..." I said as my eyes teared up, and I began to slowly float to the water.
"KILL THEMM!!! KILL THEM BOTH!!! KILL THEM NOW!!!" I suddenly heard Manuella's voice from the island, and Ryunoshi's collar sparked and she roared loudly, letting go of Erika, and letting her fall. I tried to fly down after her, but she grabbed me next. I pulled my arms out and pushed down on her massive talons. "SHE said she was a bad trainer!! She ADMITTED IT!! NOW KILL HER!!!" Her claws tightened around me and I quickly bent over, bitting her finger hard. She tightened and I finally couldn't breath.
'Come on....this happens all the time in movies...the more you struggle the more the enemy wants to kill you...don't struggle, don't TRY to breath...you can hold your breath even longer then Erika...you'll be fine...you'll be ok...you can do it...' I thought to myself as I began to feel the trapped air in my chest needing to escape, but having no place to go. I suddenly became light headed, but my rouse seemed to be working as she loostened her grip enough for me to slip out, and I began to free fall, not realizing what had just happened just yet. I could still here Manuella screaming,
"Good Ryunoshi!! GOOD GIRL!! You killed her!! NOW!! KILL ERIKA TOO!! AND THEN JAROD AND EVERYONE ELSE!! TILL IT'S YOU AND ME!!!" Just then, as my senses began to return slightly, Ryu came out of no where and latched himself onto Ryunoshi, grabbing the collar.
"....r-ryu..." I said as I rolled over and noticed how close the water was. I took a deep breathe and held it, as I splashed into the water. 'I failed....I messed up for the final time...this is it. I'm going to die...Erika's going to die...Ryu's going to die...Jarod....Jarods going to die...' Then something interupted my thoughts, something had grabbed my hand, and was pulling me back up to the surface.
