Disclaimer: ......................Casha.^_^V. Time to clear up a few
things, casha is my word, don't take, I changed my name to Divine Soul. Or
maybe it should be....nah, anyway here's the story. I fixed some things
here.
~*~Claude~*~
I walked into the inn, shortly followed by Rena and Ashton. I went into my room to find everyone already there. Sugano was talking to them and apologizing to Ando. I made my presents known as Rena and Ashton walked in. We did the introduction and Ashton explained the news. I stood in the corner with my arms folded.
"So Falceon plans on attacking Lacour again, huh?" Ando said.
"Yeah. As if the first time wasn't bad enough." Ashton said.
"I know." Ando remarked. "But you said something about weapons." Ashton looked up.
"Yeah, they're in somewhere called the Cave of Trials." Leon looked at Ashton.
"That place is dangerous, way to dangerous." Leon said. "So many people went there and died trying to get out."
"Could it possibly be any harder than Feinal?" I asked.
"Yes, it can be five times harder if you don't watch it." Came someone's voice. I looked at the door and saw Dias.
"Dias." Rena said.
"That's right." He said walking in.
"When did you get here?" I asked.
"I was just walking by and saw you and your friends, I'm guessing." Dias looked at Ando and Sugano.
"Yes, they are." I said.
"Ando and Sugano. Am I right?" Dias asked. How did he know?
"Yeah." Ando said.
"Well, why don't we get going to the cave?" Hikeru asked.
"I don't think we're ready just yet." Ashton said. "I was on the first level and it was hard, for one person."
"Exactly. Look we have, nine people on our side." I said. My patients were running thin. "We can handle it."
"Well, I guess you're right." Ashton said. "But still..."
"Lets just go there, get what we need, and get out." I said.
"You have to fight to get what you want." Ashton said looking up. Oh...well that changes the rules.
"Lets get supplies here and get moving toward the cave. It should take about a day or two." Dias said as he walked out of the room.
"He's right, we'd better get moving." Noel said as he to stood up and walked out. Sugano stood up and looked at me.
"Claude, could you meet me at the university at noon?" He asked.
"Uh, sure." I said walking out with Sugano to head to Precis' house. When we got there Precis' was already up and working on the speed bike (Don't that name sound corny? Suggestions accepted) She looked at us as we walked in.
"And where have you been all morning?" She asked standing up. "I've been waiting and you never came."
"We, uh, had something to do, yeah." I said.
"Like she'll buy that." Sugano said as he walked over to the machine.
"Uh huh, right, whatever. Just get over here and help." She said continuing her work. Before she got down on her knees she looked at Sugano and smiled slightly. Sugano looked at her and she looked away quickly, blushing. Great, another couple. Sugano slowly turned his head and began working. Seeing that I wasn't needed I walked outside and left them alone. I looked around and saw Ashton loving on barrels, nothing strange there, Leon and Hikeru were running around the university, boring, Rena looking at merchandise...rather not comment at the moment. I looked around seeing Dias by the gate with his sword out. I walked over to him watching behind the post.
"Hawk scream blast" He called out as a firebird appeared on his sword and ran along the land. I pulled out my sword and looked at it. He didn't even know about my new power, did he? Deciding to tell him I stepped forward.
"Hey, Dias." I said as he lowered his sword.
"Yeah?" He said.
"Has anyone told you about my power?" I asked.
"Power?"
"I'll take that as a no."
"Well I wouldn't mind seeing." Dias said as he put one hand on his hip. I held my sword vertically in front of me and lowered my head.
"Spirit of Temins, lend me your power." I chanted softly. My sword lit a faint purple and erupted in a beam. It collided with the mountain and the sounds of crumbling rocks were heard.
"Impressive. Where did you learn this?" Dias asked.
"Uh, it, sorta came to me in a battle." I said. Dias looked at me, either amazed or confused.
"You know what that means right?"
"What means what?"
"About that kind of power coming to you in battle." He looked toward Lacour. "Temins is the God of Intelligence, according to Noel."
"I have another one." I said holding my sword in the same position.
"Show me." Dias said.
"Spirit of Zenpher, lend me your power." My sword lit blue and the same thing happened. Dias looked amused.
"I think I understand why these powers only come in battle." He said.
"Why?"
"During a battle your power is more concentrated than outside battle. And once a certain event comes around, that eggs on the power to emerge." He explained.
"So, it's like if I get a good battle plan, intelligence will be the element, right?"
"Yes, and when you're courageous you get the courage element." Dias said. "And love seems obvious."
"Yeah." I said giving a small laugh. "Have you ever been to the Cave of Trials?"
"Yeah, I cleared eight of the levels with Ashton." He said.
"Wait, I thought Ashton went in there once." I said.
"He did, but I wanted this to stay secret." He said as turned back to Linga. "I want you to follow me." He said, so I did. He led me back to the inn. We walked into our room and he pulled some writing out onto the bed.
"What are those?" I asked stepping forward.
"They're writings from the cave. I wrote them down as we preceded each level." He said giving them to me. They were all like a riddle to solve. Some made sense, some didn't. I looked up at Dias.
"I don't understand."
"The writings are like the riddle and the level is the answer board." He said. "But I heard a rumor from some one in the cave that there was a sword that could be forged to make a fate twisting one."
"What do you mean by fate twisting?"
"Meaning the sword is able to change your own fate." Dias said.
"What sword do we need?"
"It's called the Levantine sword."
"Levantine, huh?"
"Yeah." Dias said as he looked out the window. "I'm glad you showed me those powers of yours, Claude. The Levantine would be best suited for you, plus the ultimate one."
"What's the ultimate one called?" I asked.
"It's called Holly sword of Tria, or as other call it, Eternal Fate."
"It sounds powerful."
"The strongest sword there could be." Dias said. Just then I remembered about Sugano.
"Uh, Dias, I gotta go meet Sugano at the university, o-kay." I said as I walked toward the door.
"Alright." He said. I speed toward the university bursting through the doors. There I saw Sugano standing at the foot of the stairs.
"I've been waiting for a while." He said.
"Sorry, I was talking to Dias." I panted. I looked up at him. When I looked at his eyes they seemed distant and cold.
"No need for excuses. Just come." He said walking up the stairs. I followed slowly. His attitude was even different. Maybe I shouldn't have left Precis and Sugano alone. Wait, Sugano would never do that kind of thing with someone he hardly knows, let alone do it with anyone he knew. He led me into an empty classroom and locked the door.
"Why did you do that?" I asked.
"Don't want to be disturbed. No witnesses to this moment." He said. Now he's freaking me out.
"What do you mean?"
"Idiot." He drew his sword. "I'm sorry I have to do this, but do forgive Sugano." He said laughing madly. This time his voice was deeper, just like-
"Falceon!" I hollered as I backed up. Man I wish I had my sword. "Quit it, let him go." Sugano laughed and charged at me knocking me into a wall. All the air was knocked out of me as I slumped to the ground. Sugano picked me up and threw me across the room hitting the floor headfirst. I tried to get up and fight, but Sugano wouldn't allow it. He kicked me in the side and slashed at me madly. After five minutes I was covered in cuts and bruises.
"Pathetic fool." Sugano said. Suddenly a shadow appeared behind Sugano and waved its hand. A dark light surrounded Sugano and he staggered sideways before falling over unconscious. Now I was in trouble, no one would be able to get in, no one knows we're here, I can't move due to my severe injuries. I tried to call out but failed. Everything began to get blurry as I heard a banging on the door. Before I could see more, I blacked out.
