First of all I would like tot hank all those who reviewed, it means a lot to me. I would also like to clear up some few things. Shugo and Rena did enter the world in chapter 4 after Balmung mention about protecting Rena, the thing is they only got to the mail center, if you played the game you should know what I am talking about. , also the name "Anni" is pronounced "Uh-ni" as in how you pronounce Annihilation. K thanks again!
" You're-um-You're key?" Rena just stared at the man that was holding onto her hand.
Anni as he had called himself looked at her and was holding her tightly, Rena flinched a little when the pain started to increase but for some reason she could not break free from his grasp, and it had nothing to do with his strength.
" Yes my lovely Rena, you are my key to salvation."
" Uh!" Rena started to struggle against his grip violently now. "Shugo!"
Anni looked down at Rena's futile struggle and merely smirked. " Rena I'll help you find Shugo, and then we will be free……together."
Rena just stared at him in shock. His words penetrated her, she had no idea what he meant and no idea what was happening. She did not protest or even realize that the man had actually took the liberty to pick her up into his strong and capable arms.
His player character was one that represented pure handsomeness. His was much taller than herself and his hair was the right type of length for the typical long air hottie. He masculine but not too much as in buffed up. His skin color was not as dark as Rena's but then again not Shugo's either, it seemed the perfect tone, right in between.
What enchanted her most was his eyes. She had never seen such soulless eyes before.
" Aura….."
Anni looked down at her as she sat in his arms and smiled a soft smile. " I remind you of her don't I? After receiving a small nod from her he continued. " It must be the eyes….."
She couldn't take her eyes off him until she realized what he had said.
" Wait! How do you know about Aura?" He did not even bother to look down at her and even after she started tugging on his black laced shirt he still would not respond.
Rena gave up after awhile but she still contemplated about whether or not to trust this guy. Shugo……where are you?
" Rena!" Shugo was standing amidst lots of snow, he had no idea how he arrived her but he was not happy. " Where could my little twin sister go? What happened to me?"
Shugo started to run and for what seemed like hours and constantly yelling Rena's name he finally plopped down to the ground before a large decaying castle. " What in the world…." He gazed up on it trying to analyze it from where he sat since he was completely exhausted.
The ground started to shake and Shugo had no control, looking around frantically and trying to get up the last thing Shugo saw before falling through the opening crack the 'earthquake' made was a what seemed to be Balmung running towards him.
" AHHHHHHHH!" Falling downward Shugo tried to get a grip on anything, but he was failing to do so. He thought that he was going to be crushed flat but he stopped in mid-air.
" Hey! What's going on? Where's Rena!" After waiting awhile to get a reply, and realizing he was talking to nothing but air he slumped his head down and tried to figure out why he was hanging in the air in the first place.
" Shugo….."
" Huh! Rena!" Shugo tried to move while he was in the air which resulted in his legs doing the running motion but not actually going anywhere.
" Shugo…… you must…. Help her."
" Rena!"
"Shugo… you must help….Rena….."
" What! What's going on! Show yourself already!"
Little sparkles of light started to transform around Shugo, the curious thing Is that they did not form into anything of a human shape.
" Who-what are you…."
" Rena….is in trouble" The light started to fade.
" What, wait tell me where she is! Please!"
" In the….shado-you-…..Annihil-key-….one-way….t.-help…s..love"
" What! I don't understand wait!" Shugo tried to reach for the light but it faded and when upon doing so, Shugo's ability to levitate in air went away, and away he went.
Falling downward he thought it would be longer till he reached the bottom but he did, and it took a ton of his hit points. After doing some recovery magic he composed himself and looked around.
" What was that girl trying to tell me?" In the….shado- "Did she mean…" He looked around and realized that it was divided into two very different parts. When he looked to his right, there was an enormous light, yet when he looked to his left there seemed to be a mass of decaying data and nothing but darkness.
" Could she have meant shadow…..for every light there is a shadow." He looked towards the darkened area. " Rena, just you wait, I'll save you, all by myself."
