Chapter9) Is it Over?
Rowen ran after Kyla they had to get to that room Kyla had show him fast. If any one hurt Sai he'd kill them on the spot! He had seen terror in Sai's eyes before but not like this, which only pointed to the worst happening to the angel he loved. He never should have left Sai that night.
"How much farther?" Rowen called to Kyla.
"Just around this next… NO!"
"What are you…? Oh god!" Rowen skidded to a stop staring at the broken wall and Sai's armor ball lying next to the rubble. His breath caught and his heart raced faster than it ever had. Fear rose up inside him with in him in moments he could only guess that the man calling to Sai had gotten in to the room. "Kyla where is he?" Rowen yelled frustrated as he picked up Sai's armor ball.
"This way and hurry!" Kyla swam through the air and Rowen ran after her. Rowen began to beg, plead silently for Sai to be safe. "This isn't right."
"What!" Rowen asked panicked. Didn't she know the way!
"There should be guards… NO! They must be performing a sacrifice!" Kyla turned abruptly and Rowen froze remembering what she said about Sai. "It's not your friend, it's my charge." Kyla hummed sensing Rowen's fear. "Follow this hall till the end where it splits to the right and left. Take the right path and Cyclone should have your friend in the room with the sapphire and pearl studded door. If not then I fear he'll be in Cyclone's room which is at the end of the hallway." Kyla told him then swam off back in the direction from which they had come. Rowen clenched Sai's armor ball in his hand and began to sprint down the hall.
(Other side of this Place aka: Heading towards the gems room)
Ryo, Sage and Kento already had their full armor on. None of them had thought that they would have needed the full armor so early but at every corner there seemed to be more of these creatures.
"Stop outsiders!" One of the creatures dressed in armor ordered. Behind him was yet another large group of these warriors ready for battle.
"Get out of the way!" Kento yelled pushing by Ryo and charging into their enemies. Soon enough they were swarmed, metal clashing against metal and screams of pain echoed through the halls. "That's it! Iron Rod…"
"Kento don't! We can't risk breaking the shield around this place." Sage yelled to him finding it increasingly difficult to push forward as the creature attacked from every side.
"Damn it there's to many of them!" Ryo growled slashing his katana through another warrior.
"You won't beat us! Tonight we'll have the power to get rid of all the land walkers." One hissed their whip wrapping around one of Ryo's hands. Ryo sliced the whip and another warrior took the chance to kick him to the ground. Sage and Kento were also in a bit of trouble now. A group of these people back Sage to the wall giving no chance of escape and for Kento chains and whips had caught him rendering him all most immobile. Ryo struggled to get up against the blows. This wasn't in their favor at all considering that their sure kills were to great a risk.
"Tidal Force!" Kyla hummed pushing through the warriors, a massive water current surrounding her. Ryo stood quickly rushing over towards Sage to help while Kyla went towards Kento. Once the last of these warriors fell to the ground Kyla rushed ahead.
"Why are you here? Is Sai safe?" Kento asked as he ran after her along side Ryo and Sage.
"I don't know! I know that all the guards and warriors are here so there will be a sacrifice. I fear that my Calli might have been caught helping your friend." Kyla hummed.
(Cyclone's room)
"No! Get away from me!" Sai yelled shoving Cyclone off of him. He scrambled of the bed and dashed for the door but Cyclone grabbed his wrist. With a growl Cyclone threw Sai back down on the bed then shoved his hand underneath Sai's shirt. Sai struggled against him trying his hardest to free himself.
"Stop it!" Cyclone backhanded him. He pinned Sai's hands above his head and tore his shirt from Sai's body.
"No! No. Please don't. Oh god no." Sai began to sob as his attempts for freedom failed him. Cyclone's mouth covered Sai's in a forceful kiss, muffling Sai's cries.
"Stop fighting! This will be the last time anyone touches you! You should enjoy it before you die!" Cyclone smiled taking advantage of the fact Sai's strength was fleeting.
(Where Rowen is)
Damn hall way is it so long! Rowen worried he'd passed the right turn but Kyla had said it was at the end just this hall didn't seem to end. The only sounds in his ears were the pounding of his heart and the metal clang of his sub armor's boots against the floor. There. Finally the end of the hall and he could see the first set of doors Kyla told him to go to.
"Sai!" Rowen threw open the door his eyes frantically searching the room for Sai. "Damn!" Rowen spun on his heels and continued down the hall. Sai was with this Cyclone, which Rowen guessed was behind every thing. Sending him back, the attacks on Sai and him while they were together on the island, and probably the cause of the pain and terror he had seen on Sai's face. That image of Sai burn against his mind as the end of the hall and the final set of doors came into view. Rowen kicked open the doors his eyes immediately falling on Cyclone and Sai.
"Get away from him!" Rowen roared at the stunned Cyclone.
"Only so I can kill you!… Pretty one, don't think about moving just watch!" Cyclone lunged at Rowen sword appearing in his hand. Cyclone swung at Rowen his sword grazing the armor. He was quicker than Rowen had anticipated. "Come on don't run!" Cyclone sneered attempting a high kick, which was easily blocked.
"Sai run get out of here!" Rowen called to Sai, but Sai just sat there to afraid to move.
"L…Look out!" Sai screamed a bit to late. the shadow that had attacked them earlier had grabbed a hold of Rowen's wrist. Cyclone smiled raising a hand towards Rowen.
"Wind blade!" Rowen cried out in pain as the sword in cyclones hand struck down on his shoulder and two more that were unseen a crossed his back and chest. Cyclone smiled backing up for another assault as blood dripped from his blade.
"Bastard!" Rowen hissed freeing himself from the shadow creature. Pain surge through his torso as he prepared for the attack. Cyclone charged and the shadows reached for him almost on cue. Rowen fell back towards the door in order to dodge the shadow and there was his chance. A case he'd hadn't noticed at first filled with weapons right next to the door. With the shadows blocking Cyclone's sight Rowen broke the case and grabbed the bow and quiver of arrows.
"Do you think an arrow will stop me!" Cyclone scoffed as Rowen drew back the bow. Cyclone charged again this time the shadow stayed put. Rowen released the arrow watching it embed itself in Cyclone's neck before drawing another. Cyclone tore the arrow from his neck than glanced at Sai, who was still shaking in fear on the bed. Cyclone smirked and headed toward Sai. Like a reflex Rowen dropped the bow in exchange for a knife. It happened way to fast for Rowen to try and figure out how he'd moved so fast, but the knife was buried in Cyclone's chest and Cyclone's sword piercing his armor. Cyclone fell limp to the ground and Rowen withdrew the sword. The cut wasn't deep enough to be life threatening thanks to the armor.
"Sai…" Rowen rushed over to him wrapping his arms around Sai. He embraced Sai's stunned form tightly through his chest screamed in pain. Rowen could bearly feel Sai beginning to shake with tears as Sai relaxed a little. "Hush, I'm here." Rowen said his gloved hand running lightly over Sai's back. "He won't hurt you any more… No one will I promise." Rowen whispered resting his chin on the top of Sai's head as his own tears of relief traced their way down his cheek.
"Is… Is it over?" Sai's voice sounded hoarse and distance as he looked up at Rowen, his eyes pleading for the torment to be over with.
"Yes. It's all over. We're going to go home where you'll be safe." Rowen kissed the top of Sai's head and rocked him. Rowen wasn't sure how long they had stayed like that but finally looked away from Sai when the sound of footsteps approached.
"Yeah! He's here!" Calli cheered entering the room Sareila.
"Calli quiet!" Kyla swam in front of the girl. Rowen adjusted Sai so he could carry him out of here as Kento Sage and Ryo came into view.
"Can we please come with you! Please!" Calli asked.
"There is no one who cares for Calli's well being down here." Sareila explained. "Your friend seemed to though."
"Calli is part human. That's why she looks like you, and why she doesn't fit in here. Please take her with you!" Kyla begged.
"No you're coming to Kyla!" Calli threw her arms around Kyla.
"It's alright I guess." Ryo shrugged.
"Can we go home now! I'm sick of it down here." Kento complained. With an obvious agreement the group headed back to the boat the same way they had come. The whole time Sai slept in Rowen's arms, and Rowen treasured it.
"It's over Sai… All over." Rowen kissed Sai's hand as the broke the surface, and into joyus smiles and laughter.
