A/N:: Now, where was I on this one? ...Oh yeah, Dragoon was kindnapped by his own father, and brought to the bad guy, Cereberus. I've introduced you all to Gabriel, and Tyson is worrying over Dragoon, and the group (mostly Dranzer) have decided to head to the volcano to release the phoenix god before going off to find the dragon guardian. Why don't we check on Dragoon/Rumil before going to the others, ne?
"Days of Storms and Fire"
Chapter 8
The firey orange eyes managed to open, as he felt something hot still lightly spilling from his neck. His entire body was burning, and it didn't seem that even water could cure the fire that seemed to be devouring his body. Soft whimpers began to flow out of his mouth, as he felt that every part of his body was aching any time he tried to move at all. Dragoon managed to open his eyes, feeling the dry blood caked to his neck, and chest. Coughs began to come out of his mouth, feeling some blood start to drip from his lip. He curled into a ball, feeling unclean and spoiled. Could he ever face Tyson after what Cereberus did to him? He wasn't sure what to do anymore, and he was too tired to think any way.
His senses seemed to go on alert as he heard the door to the room open up, letting a harsh creak fill the orange eyed boy's ears, causing another whimper to come out of his mouth, afraid it was the lavender haired boy back to torture him again. The footsteps came up to him, and seemed to stop as it was hovering over the dragon guardian. He closed his eyes, hoping he wouldn't be hurt any worse than he already was. Suddenly, just as he thought a blow was coming, he felt a gently hand lay itself on his cheek, as another began to wipe the blood off his neck. He looked up slightly as he came face to face with a pair of bronze eyes that seemed slightly narrow as they looked at him.
"You must be Rumil..."
"..."
Dragoon couldn't really talk at the moment, since it felt like his throat was slowly going dry. This seemed to be noticed by the younger silver haired boy, as he took out a glass of water, and brought it to the sea blue haired boy, allowing him to drink it. The orange eyed boy tried not to drink all of it selfishly, but he was really thirsty, so he began to drink it quickly, some of the sapphire liquid dripping down his chin very quickly. The bronze eyed boy smirked lightly at the dragon guardian, and brought the empty cup away from his mouth, and laid it on the floor, letting one of his arms grab the boy, helping him to his feet. Rumil seemed confused to why this young boy was helping him, he thought he was one of Cereberus' men. As if reading his thoughts, The silver haired boy looked at him.
"I do work for Cereberus, but I don't approve of what he's doing to you, so I'm getting you back to the guardians, and the other four children." He spoke, "My name is Gabriel."
Now, Dragoon was more confused than before. He works for the young god, but he is going to help him escape, though it may cost him his life? Gabriel, despite his younger age, lifted the dragon guardian onto his back, and began to make his way out of the room, and quietly made his way through the halls, avoiding the lavender haired young man, and the orange eyed boy's father. He stopped by one of the halls, and looked into one of the rooms, seeing Aeriol and Cereberus talking amongst themselves about things that didn't mean anything at the moment. The bronze eyed boy managed to sneak past, and then quickly headed for a huge stone door. He lifted his cream colored skinned hands, and pushed the doors open, letting the dusty wind fly into their faces. He kept the sea haired boy on his back, as he ran through the dust filled air.
"Why...?"
"What?" Gabriel turned his head to look at the older boy.
"Why are you going against your master, and helping me?"
The silver haired boy's eyebrow twitched lightly, "What does it matter? Would you rather have me beat you right now?"
"...No...but..."
"...Your scared to face the dragon child after what Cereberus did to you, aren't you?"
"..."
After that, the bronze eyed boy kept his mouth shut, and followed a path through the dust filled winds, trying to make his way to the portal that lead to the Phoenix Mountain, where the resting place of the phoenix rested, hoping that's where the four children and the guardians were going. He closed his eyes, and tried to make out any energy signatures that he would recognize, when one caught his attention. Since it was slightly similar to Dragoon's, he figured it must belong to the child of dragons, and raced forward, going through the portal that was in front of him with ease.
***************************************************************************
Tyson, Max, Rei, Driger, and Draciel stayed at the bottom of the volcano, as Kai and Dranzer began to make their way up. Since they had to go inside the volcano to release the phoenix, the heat would be too extreme for the others. It took a while for the slate haired boy to convince the neko-jin that he would be fine, but the black haired boy finally gave up, and allowed him to go up there with the phoenix guardian. The blonde allowed the red haired boy to go, right after he promised to come back, and gave him a hug. The emerald eyed boy complied to both, and with that, the two headed up the over heated mountain. To tell the truth, the rouge eyed boy seemed uncomfortable with all of this. The tests they took got their toll on Max and Rei, there was no telling what it could do to him.
The finally made their way on the top of the volcano, and looked over the edge at the lava that was bubbling and hissing inside. To their shock, the lava began to spread away, showing a stair case that almost seemed to be made out of cooled off magma. Kai looked at the emerald eyed boy, then the two of them made their way down the steps, to where they knew the shrine of the fire bird was waiting. The thoughts in the Russian's mind were going crazy. He was going through the same thing that the blonde and his koi had to endure, and he wasn't sure what the toll would be on him. He was worried out of his mind when the neko-jin came back from his test, muttering that he couldn't choose, and the cerulean eyed boy returned to them unconsious. He nearly jumped, as he felt something tap him on the shoulder.
"Fenikkusu-sama, are you paying attention?"
"I guess...what's the matter?"
"We're in the shrine."
That made the slate haired boy lift his head to look at the room around him. It was like he was in a void of topaz, which seemed to gleam every now and then. His eyes caught a wall that seemed to be made of the most purest ruby he had ever seen. Inside the wall, he could see the head and the beautiful wings of the phoenix, looking as if it was in a peaceful sleep. The eyes seemed half open, as if they opened to look through the glassy wall to look at the two that would finally release it from it's beautiful prison. On the floor of the room, was a seal that seemed to be decorated by small flames, which seemed to cover a great amount of the floor. The red head made his way into the center of the circle, and looked over at the rouge eyed boy, waiting patiently for him to step into it as well.
Kai didn't know if he could do this at all. It was a mystery to him what could happen if he released the god from it's prison of red. The images of Rei and Max continued to flood into his head, and they were both somewhat hurt when they stepped out, which caused him to shiver slightly. The phienix guardian could tell by the look on the boy's face he still wasn't comfortable with what they were about to do, to make things fair, he wasn't sure if he was either. He gave a soft sigh, knowing if they didn't release the gods, Cereberus would kill the four gods, and destroy their worlds, and even many others. The emerald eyed boy reached his hand out, giving Kai the sign that he had to take his. The slate haired boy hesitated, but took Dranzer's hand into a tight grasp, as they began to say the words of the Prophecy.
"My Lord of Flames, hear our words,
break your seal, and come to us now,
our weakened world needs your presense,
Wake from your slumber, and answer our pleas."
The Russian could feel it go up his spine. The test that the blonde and the raven haired boys had to endure was about to happen to him too. The wall of ruby began to crack slowly, until it rapidly began to break, as the crystal shattered, as bright flames began to surround the prison, as the mighty red bird began to flap it's beautiful wings, letting itself out of the prison of the volcano. Dranzer watched the majestic bird begin to make it's way out of the prison volcano with a gasp of pain filled his ears. He quickly turned to see the slate haired boy was on the ground, panting heavily. He felt his eyes widen, and made his way over, beginning to lift the rouge eyed teenager off of the ground, looking him over. He seemed at the brink of unconsiousness, his breath coming in short rasps, as if the heat in the volcano was finally starting to affect him, as sweat started to drip down his face, landing on the ground with a hiss. He could also tell that the affect was getting to him since there were burn marks appearing where he was lying on the ground. He frowned, and began to run up the cooled magma steps, hurrying back to the others.
***************************************************************************
Driger and Draciel were sitting by the edge of the volcano, talking to each other about something that Max, Tyson, and Rei couldn't make out, but didn't want to anyway. The navy haired boy sat there, still in worry about the dragon guardian, and how he was doing. The blonde was sitting next tom him, patting his shoulder, trying to comfort him from his thoughts of woe, telling him that the sea blue haired boy was going to be alright, and he was probably trying his best to get back. The black haired neko-jin watched from his sitting position, waiting for his koi to come back from the volcano. He laced his fingers onto one of his loose fists, quietly praying that nothing horrible had happened to Kai. The sounds of gushes of wind caught their ears, as they looked up to see the phoenix guardian quickly jumped down the mountain, holding the rouge eyed boy in his arms.
"Kai!!" The neko-jin cried, as he ran over to the boy, just as Dranzer landed on the ground.
The others looked up to see the chinese boy run over to where the emerald eyed boy was standing, and where the barely consious Russian lay in his arms. The black haired boy quickly took the slightly older boy into his arms, holding him close. Tyson was a bit surprised at what he found. The usually strong and 'not show others his pain' was lying limp in Rei's arms, breathing a bit uneven. This seemed to be worrying the gold eyed boy, as his fingers began to run themselves through the two tone colored hair, whispering words into his ears, things like 'it's going to be alright, Kai.' and 'don't worry, I'm right here for you'. The blonde made his way over to the red haired boy, and began to talk to him about what had happened, which he started to explain.
Suddenly, the sounds of some kind of lightning, and soft booms began to fill everyone's ears, making them turn around in surprise. A giant rip in the appeared in the area, as if there was a rip on the screen of the movie theatre. They watched in complete surprise, as someone began to make it's way out of the rip, letting it close behind him. They made out a boy with silver hair that made it's way down to his waist, and his eyes were a dazziling bronze, and his usual outfit was loose around his body, but tight around his waist. He looked up, and lifted himself to his feet, as they all noticed the figure that was on his back. The sea blue hair. The bright orange eyes. The black silk shirt. The navy haired boy could feel his eyes widen in shock, as he saw the blood that seemed caked on the dragon guardian's neck.
"DRAGOON!!" The cry ripped from the storm eyed boy.
A/N:: Holy crap!! How long has it been since i update?! Geez, I have no idea, but I guess it turned out pretty good. I hope you people like it, and r/r on your way out
