"Find it you Fools! Lord Kalis wants that artifact. Faliure will result in your instant deaths!"
The Tengo demons nodded their response and continued looking through he wreckage. Fires continued to burn but their yellow skin made them immune. They clawed through the wreckage with claws that could rip through any metal as well as paralyse a person. They tried sniffing the air for magic but the air was too thick of burning flesh
and rotting corpses.
Sirus continued to look on as the Tengo's searched. He also began to wonder if he made an error in using his fire balls. If only he hadn't been so excited on finally finding the rebels main base. He just couldn't stop himself from delivering a rain of fire on the place. Not to mention he knew the artifact wouldn't be destroyed by it. It should have worked out perfectly. Kill everyone and everything in the place, walk in and retrieve the artifact, and then walk back out and deliver it to Kalis. He was so sure that it would be that easy that he let the Tengo's feed on the bodies still intact. None were well enough to make into their children so they would have to be food instead.
Unfortunally things didn't happen the way he wanted them to. They had been searching for 20 minutes and yet found it. The Tengo's ability to since magic should have found it by now. By the way they howled when he found the place he knew the artifact was here. If he didn't find it soon the Tengo's wouldn't be the only ones to pay. Kalis other Elites had found their artifacts. If Sirus failed he would look bad in his Lords eyes, an embarresment. Lord Kalis did
not suffer fools, he got rid of them.
Sirus was taken out of his thoughts by the ground suddenly shaking.
Which was followed by the ground opening up as Sirus and the Tengo's
tried to keep their balance. A circular light came out of the
opening and ascended into the sky. It went about 20 feet in the air
when it stopped and exploded. It created a bright flash that lit up
the sky blinding all the Tengo's.
Shortly after the blast four hover scooters came out the ground and
headed east. The Tengo's, still blinded, didn;t see them or the
small chest one had under his arm.
Sirus on the other hand was born of fire and light and was therefore
unaffected by the blast. He saw the four scotters with seven people
heading east. He also saw the small chest and determined the
artifact was in it. He could not let them escape.
Sirus raised his hands and yelled "FIRESTORM". TYhe skys darkened
and fireballs rained down. They were heading right for the scooters
and Sirus smirked at his success, or so he thought.
Inches from turning the rebels innto burning corspes like their
friends the fireballs were reflected. They discenagrated into a blue
shield erected around the rebels. This continued until they were out
of Sirus's site and attack.
Sirus's glowing head glowed all the more brighter with his consuming
anger. It was not his strongest attack, but still to deflect it
meant there was a powerful magic user in the group. Sirus calmed
himself and looked around. The Tengo's seemed to be regaining their
sight.
"They've went east, we have to cut them off. Gather around me
quickly so we can catch them." said Sirus.
The Tengo's immediantly obeyed and gathered around him. Sirus
concentrated his mind and a orb of fire started to surround them
all. Eventually the orb did surround them and it lifted them into
the air. No heat could be felt from the inside, but any who touched
the outside would be instantly incenterated.
Sirus then pointed his right arm east and the orb of fire took off in
that direction with them inside. If there had been anybody alive to
see it from the ground it would have looked like a comet in the night
sky.
Elsewhere the last surviving members of the base continued their
journey. The area they were traveling in was deserted. Sirus and
his troops has searched through this valley many times and found
nothing.
Suddenly the lead scotter driver raised his hand signaling the others
to stop. Once they all did the leader rechecked his map and turned
to the others.
"This is the place, do your stuff Ronda."
A woman got off the third scooter and came forward. She raised both
hands forward and began an incantation.
"Oh mighty Temple of the acients hear our call
Our world is in peril and about to fall
We seek your protection and guidence this day
So please show yourself and light our way".
Suddenly the air started to shimmer in front of them. Where once was
empty space now stood a sixty foot temple. The door of the temple
rose and a bright light shown through it. The rebels hurrenly guided
their scooters inside the door and it closed behind them.
The inside of the temple was beautiful but they had no time to look.
They kept a steady pace following through the tunnels and pathways
that the light guided them through. Soon the light disappeared as
they came into a room.
The room itself looked like a shrine with its many statues adorning
the walls. Also the room provided its own light from the crystals in
the ceiling. However what the rebels came to find was in the center
of the room.
There were four 8 feet clear crystals separted forming a square. In
front of the staiirs leading to it was a dial with different symbols
on them. They drove their scooters to the dial and got off of
them.
"Aliright Edward, use your books and find us a planet that suits our
purposes" said the leader.
Edward pushed up his glasses and took off his back pack. He then
opened it up and took a book out.
"Yes, of course Malachite. Now lets see, we need a world of magic,
advanced culture as well as civilization-
"Stop the talking and do it damnit" interuppted Malachite.
Edward looked up over his glasses at him. "Sorry sir, I'll stop
talking now." With that he put his head back in the book.
Unexpectanly the temple started to shake. Secons later it did it
again.
"Sirus must have found us. Ronda, start creating a strong barrier
around us. We need more time." said Malachite.
"I'll do my best Malachite, but my magic is weakened from Sirus's
last attack as well as summoning the temple" said Ronda.
"I know Ronda, your best us all I can ask." pointing to three of his
soilders "You three form a line in front of the stairs. Let no one
get through, understand?"
"Yes sir!" said the soilders together and formed their blockade.
Malachite them turned to a teenage girl with blond hair. "You better
get behind the soilders Sarah, their is little you can do."
Sarah nodded her head and got behind the blockade.
The temple shook again but Malachite had more to say. "Remember
people, we must protect the artifact at all costs. If Kalis gets it
no planet will be save from his terror."
Everyone nodded their head and prepared. Ronda concentrated on her
magic while the soilders checked their weapons.
Malachite checked his weapon as well. The temple continued to shake
as they continued to prepare themselves.
Finally the Ceiling blew out and a huge fireball came through.
"We're out of time Edward, choose one now." yelled Malachite.
Stuttering "Right, I believe this world-
"Shut up and do it!"
Edward nodded his head and turned back to the dial. He started
turning it to match the symbols in his book.
From above them the fireball zoomed down upon them into a dive.
Ronda raised her hands and once again a blue shield surrounded them.
The fireball crashed into the shield but did not go through. However
Ronda did go down to one knee.
"Hurry Edward, Sirus will break though any second." yelled Malachite.
The fireball backed up and creashed against the shield again. Once
again the shield held but Ronda wento down to both knees and her nose
started to bleed.
Malachite and the other soilders raised their weapons preparing for
Sirus to break through. The knew their weaopns would have little
acffect but they had nothing else.
They watched as the fireball rose to the very top of the ceiling and
got brighhter. Even with the shield they could feel the immese heat
it gave off. They all knew it was preparing for a major dive. They
all looked to Ronda and from her tired form they knew she couldn't
stop another attack. Then the fireball dived and they all tensed.
"I got it" yelled Edward. At the same time the fireball crashed into
the shield and broke through. The fireball also exploded sending all
of them to the ground.
Behind them up the stairs the crysrtals turned black and energy shot
from them to the center. Suddenly a portal was formed there.
Malachite was the first to recover from the explosion and looked
behind him. "Edward get going, we'll be right behind you."
Edward put his book in his back pack with the others and ran up the
stairs into the portal.
As the others started to rise they were confronted with Sirus and a
dozen Tengo demons.
"Your friend might have escaped but none of you will. Now give me
the artifact Malachite and I promise your deaths will be swift." Said
Sirus.
"Screw you Sirus, your boss will never have the Phoniex Gate." With
that Malachite turned around toward the portal.
"NO!" Yelled Sirus knowing Malachite's intent and shot flames at
Malachite's back.
However it was too late as Malachite threw the chest with the Phoneix
Gate inside. Just as the flames incerated his body the chest went
through the portal.
Damn you Malachite!" Sirus then started to run forward with the
Tebgo demons right behind him.
The remaining soilders started to fire but their weapons had little
effect. The Tengo's ran through the laser blasts and were on them in
seconds. One Tengo took a soliders weapons and this spit acid into
his face. The soilder yelled in horror and grabbed his decaying
face. Two Tengo's reached another solider. One took the soilders
weapons away while the other Tengo grabbed him by both arms. Then
white wrappings came from the Tengo's three pores in its head and
began to wrap the man up. The man struggled but it was pointless.
His while body was eventually wrapped and it turned to yellow. By
tomorrow the young man would be a Tengo as well.
The remaning soilder backed up the stairs with the girl behind him.
He managed to kill one Tengo and took out his shock grenade. He
threw it and and two more Tengo's were killed in a display of sparks
and Sirus was momentarily stunned.
"Mortes Plumes" yelled Sarah and lighting shot from her fingers
futher slowing down Sirus.
"Randor, take Sarah away from here" yelled Ronda.
"No master, I won't leave you" Sarah yelled even as Rando grabbed her
and pulled her toward the portal.
"Oh no you don't" siad Sirus as he raised his hands to reap revenge
on those who attacked him.
Ronda saw what he was about to do and summoned the last of her power
from her aching body. "ARTIC BLAST."
Artic winds hit four Tengo's and Sirus freezing them on impact. The
remaining Tengo's turned around and faced Ronda. Randor used the
distraction to pull Sarah and himself into the portal.
As the Tengo's converged on her she threw a energy blast at the
dail. The dial exploded and the portal started to close. At the
moment Sirus broke from his frozen tomb. He saw the portal closing
and ran towards it. He dived for the portal but was a second too
late. The portal disappeared and Sirus hit the ground.
Ronda saw this and smiled. She then fell over from lack of energy.
The Tengo's took this oppertunity to maul her.
Meanwhile Sirus banged is fist on the ground screaming his lungs
out. He got up and turned to release his anger on the rebels. He
was diappointed to see that the Tengo's had alrady torn them apart as
well as put one in a cocoon. that futher angered him and he turned
his attention to the four frozen Tengo's and proceeded to blow them
up with his fireballs.
This made him feel a little better until he remembered his faliure.
With the dial destroyed he had no idea where the rebels took the
artifact. Only Kalis had the power to find them now. Sirus only
hoped when he told him Kalis would spare his life. This was his
first faliure after all. Unfortunally he knew that Kalis didn't give
second chances. In short, he was a dead man.
