Chapter Eighteen: The black vase at last
Keitaro woke up when he heard a strange noise coming from the end of the corridor.
"Kame, I thought you said there weren't traps in this corridor"
Kame looked at him confused and answered.
"I was sure there weren't any"
Tama woke up also.
"What's going on?"
"We aren't sure. But something is coming this way"
Keitaro looked at Kame.
"Kame, can you make something to protect us like before"
Kame thought of it for a moment and then he began to wave his flipper. A sphere of light covered them.
"I hope this works"
The sound became louder. Tama was getting nervous. Keitaro patted her on the back.
"Don't worry Tama, we'll be fine"
The corridor became illuminated by a brilliant purple light. Seconds later a small purple orb got neared them and suddenly it stopped. Keitaro was confused.
"What's it doing?"
"It's just standing there, not that I mind. But I thought that it was going to do something"
Kame flew to the orb and looked at it.
"I remember now, this is from Black"
Keitaro was even more confused now.
"What do you mean it's from Black?"
"I mean that this orb was made by Black"
"What for"
Before Kame could answer the orb changed from purple to white. Slowly an image formed inside it. Keitaro could see Black inside the orb. Kame talked to the orb.
"Black is that you?"
"Of course is me, brother"
"I'm so happy to see you; it's been a long time"
"Indeed, but tell me how are…"
Keitaro interrupted the family reunion.
"Sorry to interrupt, but can you tell us why are you here"
Black waved his flippers.
"Sorry, I almost forget. I sent this orb to pick you up"
Keitaro was puzzled.
"To pick us up, what do you mean?"
Black smiled at them and answered.
"Well I though that since it looks like it's going to take you years to get to where I am, it was better to send you something to bring you here"
Keitaro scratched his head.
"Kame I thought we had to go trough all the traps because you couldn't send us to where Black is"
"It's true I can't send us there, but Black can"
Tama began to fly around the orb.
"Yes! I was getting tired of all the traps"
Keitaro smiled and then asked the orb.
"Well then what are we waiting for"
"Ok, everybody let's do this"
Black was about to wave his flipper when someone entered the corridor.
"You didn't think you would get rid of me so easily"
Everyone turned to see Keitaro's clone.
"I though you were frozen"
"I was. But I broke free and now I'm going to finish you"
Keitaro was shocked. Kame looked at his brother who just nodded.
"Don't worry Keitaro. I'll take care of him"
Black waved his flipper and the clone began to melt. The clone started to yell.
"No! You can't do this"
The clone continued yelling until he finally melted. Keitaro just sighed.
"Well, now that that's taken care of, let's continue. Is everyone ready?"
Kame and Tama nodded. Keitaro didn't move.
"Are you all right, Keitaro?"
"Sorry, I was thinking of my clone"
Tama laughed.
"Don't worry Keitaro he is gone"
"I know is just…well never mind. Let's go"
Black smiled.
"Ok"
Black waved his flipper and then a sphere of light surrounded them. Then everything turned black. After a while they could see around them.
They were still inside the cave, but they were in a different corridor. This one was all white and they could see a set of stairs at the end of it.
"Kame where are we"
"This is the last corridor and the end of that stairs is Black"
"Finally, well let's go"
They were going to walk when the orb appeared again. Black talked to them.
"Ok, guys. Just follow the orb"
They all nodded and started to walk behind the orb. They were silent until Tama started talking.
"I'm so happy we're finally here. I though we weren't going to make it"
Keitaro scratched his forehead.
"I'm sorry Tama. If I had known things were going to be like this I would never brought you here"
Tama smiled.
"Don't worry Keitaro"
After a while of walking Keitaro looked around and said.
"Hey guys, have you noticed that we haven't reach the end of the corridor yet"
"Now that you mention it, you're right we have been walking for a while and it looks like we haven't move from where we started"
Everyone turned to look at the orb.
"Black, is there something you want to tell us?"
Black smiled.
"I…I'm…I'm sorry. I forgot about this. Don't worry I will dispel this illusion"
Keitaro sighed. Tama glared at Black and said.
"Just like his brother"
"I said I was sorry"
They finally arrived at the end of the corridor. They climbed the stairs and went into the next room.
This room was surrounded by twelve stone pillars. In the center it had a stone altar and on top of it, there was the Black vase.
I can't believe it, there it is. I'm going to undo the wish-
"Well, here we are"
Black said from the orb and then it disappeared. Keitaro looked around and asked Kame.
"Where is Black?"
Kame looked at Keitaro puzzled.
"Inside the vase, where else"
"What I mean is why he hasn't gotten out"
"He is waiting for you"
"Waiting…"
"I mean that you have to lift the vase so Black can come out"
Keitaro walked to the altar and lifted the vase.
It doesn't feel heavy. I wonder if Black is inside-
Just as Keitaro was going to put the vase down Black come out of it flying. Once outside he smiled.
"So you're finally here"
Yes finally here. Now all I have to do is undo the wish-
"Well, Keitaro. I know I've had asked you this before but…"
Keitaro interrupted him.
"Yes, I'm sure of it"
Black smiled.
"Fine let's do it them"
So what do you think? Please leave a review.
Thanks to Keitaro+Motoko 4 ever for prereading this chapter.
