Author's Note: Zan shows his true power in this chapter……that's all I have to say for now! Hehe.
-Chapter 6-
Silent woke up, and looked around. There was no one. He saw a note on the table. It read:
"Went out for breakfast at Dencio's. –Faerore and Zan"
He crumpled the piece of paper and threw it in the waste can. He just laughed.
"So they left without me…….Zan actually woke up early this time!"
He took a bath, put on his assassin cross clothes, and went out the door. He walked out on the street and went over to Dencio's. He looked around. There was no sign of them. He went over to the back, and he saw them. He went over to them immediately.
"Hey! You finished breakfast yet?" he asked
"Oh sorry! We already finished our breakfast!" Faerore replied
"You took so long to wake up and we were hungry!" Zan added.
"No….that's okay. I'm not hungry anyway, I guess I'll just skip breakfast today."
A moment of silence.
"What time is it anyway?" Silent asked the two.
"It's 11:30" Faerore replied
"I guess we should have lunch now, right?" Silent said
"I guess….."
They ordered seafood once again as it was the restaurant's specialty. They ate their once again, mouthwatering banquet in a rush. Zan finished first, he didn't even eat that much. His long, white hair just swayed in the wind.
"Is anything the matter?" Faerore asked him.
"I sense…..I sense……a tragedy."
The two dropped their spoons and forks.
"Y-Your dreams foresee the future as well?" Silent asked.
"No. I didn't dream this. I sense it. Sort of like the feeling you get when you sense someone's presence."
"So…..what's gonna happen?" Faerore asked
"Like I said, it's like the feeling you get when you sense someone's presence. You don't know the details. You just know it is."
"I see…." They both replied.
The three payed for the food, and went out the restaurant. The sky was once again blue. Silent's head was once again in the clouds. They just walked around the town aimlessly. Suddenly they heard a scream. They ran over towards the scene and saw cloaked figures around a dead woman's body. The cloaked figures looked at their party. They looked at them too. All they saw were dark, red eyes. The eyes glared at each one of them, injecting fear into their hearts. They all ran in separate directions, and one of them shouted orders in a language they could not understand. A pursuit began. As the figures ran, everything they passed was set ablaze. Soon, the whole town was a burning inferno.
"Faerore! We have to do something!" Silent said as he ran.
Faerore looked behind her. Zan was just standing there, looking into the empty space.
"Zan! Hurry! They're gonna catch us!" Faerore shouted, stressing her voice.
"Silent, remember that time when I said "The same thing happened to me"?" Zan asked
"Uhh..yeah!" he replied
"I was also a killer when I was newly reborn. And now…….my bloodlust is building up!"
Immediately after he had said this, the air became hotter, and giant bolts of lightning fell from the sky, along with super-heated air. The space Zan occupied turned into air. He was nowhere to be seen. Many of the cloaked figures died, along with some innocent residents. Zan reappeared by a cliff, this time he summoned giant flaming balls, or better known as meteors, and they rained down on the city, engulfing it in flames.
"Zan! Stop it! Just stop it!" Faerore shouted. But it was no use. The sound of everything around her was too loud, plus the fact that they were so far from each other. The sky darkened, and once again, lightning bolts rained down unto the city of Ayotaya. Then he summoned a tsunami from the depths of the sea and brought it to the city, flooding it.
One of the figures was able to get near Zan, to his demise. Zan turned around to the figure, summoned a "ball" of electricity in his hand and hurled it at the figure. Winds blew his long, brown hair, and smoke engulfed the cliff. After it had cleared, he saw that the cloaked figure was dead. He went over to examine it. That was something he regretted. He touched the guy, and he immediately got a needle and injected it into his neck.
"Ack!" was all he could say, as the needle was rapidly sapping him of his energy.
"Zan!" Faerore and Silent shouted as they ran towards him.
"Zan! Are you okay?" Faerore shouted, as she was trying to resurrect him. She couldn't though, as the force was too powerful for her to hold in her body. She needed a blue gemstone.
"Over here!" A voice in a boat near them shouted.
"We've got supplies here! We'll depart soon too! Hurry!" it said once more.
"Ok, Silent, I'll bring Zan to the boat." Faerore whispered to Silent.
"I'll stay here and try to do something about this mess." And before he finished his statement, he literally jumped down the cliff, to where the cloaked figures were. He drew out a thousand knives, hurling them at the people. One knife per person.
"Oh gosh! At this rate, his bloodlust will grow even more! He'll grow berserk!" Faerore shouted.
"Is there anything we can do?" one of the crew replied
"I'm afraid the only cure is within him. If he does go berserk, he'll have to drink his own poison!"
"Let's just hope he doesn't…."
Silent was now on the floor, with the cloaked figures looking down on him. They made way for another one. Probably one with authority. The figure took of her hood, and revealed HER face.
"Dy Phawn!" Silent shouted, trying to escape and strangle her. The others held him down.
"Fancy seeing you here! I brought two people you probably haven't met before. They'll take care of you."
Two floating, cloaked figures appeared in the sky. Shackles appeared on Silent's arms and legs, connecting them to the ground. The other cloaked figures disappeared, and the patch of land that Silent was on slowly lifted into the sky, where the two figures where.
"Dost thou knoweth who we are?" One of them asked.
"No…." Silent said in the tone I child would use when being scolded. He was afraid for the very first time in his life. He experienced the feeling called fear.
"But thou had a dream of who we art!" The other one said.
"Loki!"
"Close enough…." The two circled him for a moment then introduced themselves.
"This art the last time we do this thing!" One of them said. They took of their hoods and began speaking once more.
"I art thy mind and soul of Lord Loki, Luciphawn!"
"….and I art thy body of Lord Loki, Sargatanas!"
"We watcheth o'er this world and the other eight….blah blah blah. Dost thou mindeth if we skip this intro and get to the point?"
"Fine." Silent replied
"Zan can sing right?"
"Yes."
"Make him sing! On thy plateaus of Juno! His voice wouldst stretch out across the land!"
"And just why would you want a world-wide concert?"
"That…" Sargatanas released his left shackle."…is something…." Luciphawn released his right shackle."…you don't want to know! Mind if we don't speak in old English anymore?" and they released the two shackles on his legs, dropping him on the ground.
"Oh and just between you and me, I, Luciphawn, was the one who had killed Zan before, I just toyed with Dy Phawn's memory." He smirked. "Oh dear! I have….accidentally….spilled the beans! How clumsy of me!" he said in a very sarcastic tone.
"You idiot!" and Silent made him drink one of his poisons.
"A mortal would die out of this." He said, laughing.
"Yes, but am I a mortal? Haha! Who gets the last laugh now?" and Luciphawn shoved the poison, and it dropped on the ground, its contents spilling on the ground.
"I'll make you a deal. I'll kill you quick and easy…….and you don't have to give me anyting in return!" Sargatanas said, while floating in mid-air, chanting. He summoned various spirits, and made them move around Silent, lifting him up, then passed through him, sapping him of his energy. The spirits dropped him, Silent was unconscious.
"You're lucky I didn't kill you!" He snapped his fingers. More cloaked figures arrived. "Hmph!" and the two immediately disappeared.
The figures caused even more damage to the city. One of them summoned a humungous meteor half the size of the earth. He was hailing it towards them. A suicide attempt probably.
"You idiot! What do you think you're doing? You'll get us all killed!" Dy Phawn shouted in rage.
"That's the plan." He replied
She grabbed his neck and strangled him. No use, the spell had already been cast. The meteor was descending quickly.
Suddenly, a ring appeared around the meteor, which cut it in half, then into quarters, then billions of tiny little rocks. A professor emerged out of the shadows, with two porings.
"Professor Scythie! Of the Schweicherbil Academy!" Dy Phawn said to Scythie
"What are you doing?" she approached Dy Phawn and punched her face as soon as she got close enough.
"Ouch!"
"You're the person who brainwashed this Assassin Cross into killing Decipher!"
"Who gave you that info? That's old news!"
Scythie summoned a chilling wind, which took the color of a bloody rose and engulfed the city.
"Wooooo!" she shouted, and firebolts rained down on the city, like drops of water would when it rained. Dy Phawn noticed she wasn't getting hit, neither was Silent or Scythie. She looked at the ground. The ground had been protected, she saw blue cells. Land Protector.
"Why do you protect me along with you?"
"Because!"
"Because what?"
Scythie didn't reply. She took Silent's body and brought it to the boat. As she did, Dy Phawn called out to her.
"If you knew he killed your friend, why do you help him now?"
"Because!"
"You…!" and she ran after them. She saw a high priestess onboard.
"Faerore! I finally met the oracle of Lady Freya!"
Scythie lay Silent's body next to Zan's.
"Faerore!" She called out to her.
Faerore replied with a wink. "Girl vs Girl!" and the two jumped down the boat and unto the deck. A battle ensued.
Dy Phawn just swayed her hips every time they launched an attack, repelling it.
"Faerore! I know you're holding Zan in there! Bring him out!"
"I can't do that!"
Dy Phawn summoned fluorescent pink ribbons to snatch them, but Scythie immediately cast Land Protector, dispelling the ribbons. Faerore spilled holy water unto the ground.
"Basillica, I see. But why protect me?" Dy Phawn asked while laughing an evil laugh.
"Look closely at the ground. You're not protected!" Scythie shouted
"huh?"
Scythie summoned spider webs from between her fingers and stuck unto various body parts of Dy Phawn, trapping her. One of them reached in her clothes and got back the poison.
"So….you wanted to give this to those two guys earlier to analyze huh? I think not!" and she gave it to Faerore who, in turn, threw it at her skin. It stung. A lot.
"We'll make you a deal. We won't kill you….yet…I'll let Silent handle it, as I can't kill."
The two went up the boat once more and went to the two guys were, watched over by the two porings, Vermillion and Iris. The boat set sail, with Dy Phawn on the ground, screaming.
"That professor…..what was her name? Scythie? Ugh….she's a formidable opponent. I'd better kill her quickly." She whispered to herself, not knowing who was at her back.
"Tsk Tsk Tsk………if you want her dead, just tell us for hell's sake!" Sargatanas said
"But then again, won't she add a challenge? I mean, she does match Silent in terms of technique!"
"Oh will you two shut up!" Dy Phawn shouted, the poison wearing off.
"Ouch! That's harsh! Anyways, we've seen the future, they're heading towards Umbala."
"But I thought they'd look up information about you two at Juno."
"Tsk tsk, you forget. We control fate." Luciphawn summoned a "ghost boat" and lifted Dy Phawn and put her on a chair. The two did the same.
"Now sit back, relax, and enjoy the deaths at sea!" and the boat solidified and went out to sea, following the trails of the boat Silent's party was on.
