Destiny's Magic
ch 15
'Pathetic uncle, this is how you intend to destroy Rei Faun and get his armor? By attacking him in his dreams. I guess that just shows how inferior you really are. Well, I suppose that I'd better step in, it's not time for him to die just yet, he's still needed.' Taea mused as he was looking over at the magical entity known as Dream.
Taea reached into his pouch and pulled out a talisman and a parchment. He started to chant and then suddenly what should appear next to him is a a girl with long flowing hair, a black outfit and jester boots, named Shot.. "Just wait a little longer, I want uncle to have his fun for now, and then we strike." Taea cackled as he waited for the perfect opportunity.
------------------------------------------------------------
A silver tiger with golden stripes and eyes suddenly stood, and started to sniff around. The night air reeked of evil, Lightning looked towards the full moon and gave out a loud roar. The tiger leaped from cliff edge to cliff edge, descending the mountain until he came to where White Blaze was waiting for him. The Siberian tiger
knew that something was wrong by the way Lighting was coming down the mountain. When Lightning finally made it down to White Blaze, he could tell that the other tiger sensed something was wrong. With a nod of his head, White Blaze told Lightning that he was ready, and with that the two tigers vanished from the mountain side.
-----------------------------------------------------------
"What the..?" Cye asked in concern as he noticed that the scratch that Kaye got in Kento's dream. The others circled around to see what got Cye so concerned. Just before anything else could be said, the two tigers appeared.
"White Blaze, Lightning? What are you doing?!" Ryo asked in surprise as the two tigers snarled at them, making the guys back away. They tried to advance towards them again, but the tigers this time snapped at them.
"Ryo, what the heck is going on with them?!" Rowen asked as he looked over at Ryo for some kind of explanation.
"How am I suppose to know?" Ryo asked back, "I'm just as confused as you are!"
"He's your tiger!" Sage replied as they continued to back away.
"He may be my tiger, but that doesn't mean I can read his mind!" Ryo shot back as he glared at him.
"Guys, mind if we have this discussion later." Cye said as he tried to calm them down from a soon to be fight. While they were arguing, it gave Lightning enough time to go in front of Kaye and looked into her eyes. As he continued to looked deeper, he could see the situation that she and Kento are dealing with. He broke off the eye contact and walked over to the bewildered Ronins. "Lightning, what..."
'I'm sorry, but there's no other way.' Lightning thought as his eyes glowed and somehow putting the guys in some kind of catatonic state. Lightning could see the concern in White Blazes eyes, the silver tiger's eyes showed White Blaze that there was nothing for him to worry about, and that they'll be alright. White Blaze nodded and then he and Lightning did the only thing that was left to do, they waited.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In Kento's dream....
"How, where..?" Sage asked in slight confusion as they were looking around.
"It looks like Lightning somehow got us into Kento's dream." Rowen replied as he rationalized the situation.
"How? I thought that..?" Sage asked still a little confused about this.
"I know, but I don't think that now is the time to discuss it. We have to find them before it's too late." Ryo replied as he looked around to try and find them.
"Ryo, they could be anywhere, how would we know where to even start looking?" Cye asked in concern.
Just then, "NO!"
"This way!" Ryo replied as he took the lead, the others quickly followed. They didn't have to go far, when they got there, they saw that Kento was trying to break out of Hikaru's snake transformation, while Kaye was trying to fend off some kind of snake demon. "Cye, Sage, go and help Kaye, Rowen come with me." Each of them nodded and went their separate ways.
"How can this be possible?! How did you make it here?! Tell me!" Hikaru hissed angrily as his eyes narrowed.
"It's none of your business on how, the only thing that you need to know is that we're taking our friends back!" Ryo shot back as he and Rowen were trying to get Kento out of Hikaru's snare.
"More mortals," the snake demon hissed as he noticed Sage and Cye coming. "It doesn't matter, when I'm done with you, I'll deal with them."
"Let go of her!" Sage warned as he and Cye got on either side of the snake demon while he drew out his nodachi.
"How did you guys get here?" Kaye asked as she stole a glance.
"We'll tell you later," Cye replied, "man, this thing is so ugly it makes Sekhmet look like a run way model." Sage almost dropped his nodachi in shock of what Cye just said. He shook his head in disbelief and then regained his composure.
"You dare compare me to that stinking warlord of venom! I'll make you pay for that!" the snake demon hissed as it threw Kaye to the ground and charged directly at Cye.
"Thunder bolt cut!" Sage called out as he delivered his sure kill directly at the snake demon making it disintegrate just before it got to him. "Cye, you alright?"
"Yeah Sage, thanks, but next time, try not to cut it so close." Cye replied with a relieved smile.
"Come on Cye it wasn't that close, and besides, I wouldn't want to lose the flare for the dramatic." Sage teased with a glint in his eye.
"No, you've destroyed my snake demon!" Hikaru hissed angrily as he glared over towards Sage.
"We'll do more than that to you if you don't let go of our friend!" Sage warned as he got ready to strike at Hikaru.
"You'll risk your friend's life with a chance shot?" Hikaru asked in a cocky manner as he had Kento right in the line of fire. "If you feel like you can make your shot, then do it."
While they were conversing, 'come on, where are you...There!' Kaye spotted the magical entity Dream and started to charge right at it. 'If you're not here, then Hikaru has no control over Kento's dream, and the guys will be able to stand a better chance of fighting him.' Dream saw that Kaye was coming and started to try to put up barrier after barrier, but they barely were enough to slow her down.
"Do it Sage, I trust you, so do it already!" Kento said as he looked right at him, his eyes unwavering.
'He's a fool! How can he show such faith in his friend? Unless, wait where's the dream walker? I don't see...No, she's over there! That's why he's telling him to do it, she's going after Dream. Once Dream is destroyed I won't have control here any more.' Hikaru thought angrily as he realized what was finally going on.
'Alright here goes nothing.' Kaye thought as she glanced back and saw that Sage was about to deliver his sure kill. She looked directly at Dream, "You're done!" A bo with a rounded bladed on the end of it, materialized in her hands, Kaye took a couple of swipes and Dream was destroyed.
"Now for you! Thunder bolt.." Sage started to say, but before he could finish his attack Hikaru vanished from Kento's dream. Sage sheathed his nodachi, "where do you think that he went?"
"Who cares, I'm just glad that he's out of my head." Kento replied with a smirk.
"Kento, you're alright?" Kaye asked in concern as she finally made it back over towards them.
"Yeah, I'm just fine. A bit tired but still good." Kento replied, "what's up with your arm, are you alright?"
Kaye looked down at it and then back up towards him, "it's nothing, just a scratch, I'll be alright."
"Kaye, you think you'll have enough energy to get us back?" Ryo asked as he looked towards her in concern.
"I think so." Kaye replied with a nod, and with that she closed her eyes and concentrated hard. A silver light shrowed over them and then it faded. When they opened their eyes, everyone found themselves in the bedroom with White Blaze and Lightning waiting for them. "So, you were the one that brought them in. Thanks." Kaye stroked the top of Lighting's head as the tiger purred in response.
"Now I suggest that we finally get some sleep, and then we can start figuring out what to do in the morning." Rowen suggested as he yawned. They all nodded in response, each one went to their rooms, White Blaze went with Ryo, while Lightning went down stairs, leaving Kento and Kaye alone.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"I don't believe this! How could it have happened?! I don't understand!" Hikaru ranted angrily.
"It's simple uncle, I know why you failed to get rid of Rei Faun and to gain his armor." Taea replied coolly.
"How's that nephew?" Hikaru asked in slight annoyance as he turned around and faced him.
"You're inferior, your powers are soon to be depleted. But don't worry, your powers won't go unused uncle. They'll be in good hands, my hands." Taea replied with a smirk as he summoned Shot to his side.
Hikaru's eyes went wide in surprise, "you...You're betraying me, your own uncle?" Hikaru asked in disbelief.
"Just like you betrayed me when you gave me up long time ago to the Rei Fauns. Your betrayal was ten times worse than the one you'll be receiving. Now say goodbye." Taea replied as he motioned to him. Shot aimed and launched an arrow directly into Hikaru's heart. Hikaru fell to his knees, all of his magic flowed from him and into Taea, then Hikaru fell the rest of the way to the floor, and turned into ash. A wind came in through the window and blew away the ashes of the once powerful body of Hikaru Tsungs. Shot was called back into her parchment, and Taea's laugh echoed through out the night.
