Hey everyone. Sorry for the wait, but I've had a busy week… and really rough. Sigh. Anyway, thank you for your reviews. Hopefully I start getting more soon… or else… Looks to the delete key. Just kidding. I couldn't delete this story. However, I could just… take a break from it for a while…
Piers: Your version of a break is 4 months…
Nervous laugh. Anyway, thanks everyone. Sit back and enjoy as I conclude the battle and Felix meets up with Hama!
And please, ignore any spelling errors... I could just edit it, but then it's half the wait because I tend to take forever until I feel like editing...
"Can you go any faster, runt?" Garet growled, watching Sheba slowly pass a rope down to them. Instantly, Sheba's emerald eyes narrowed.
"Should I just pull the rope back up and allow you to tumble to you death?" She hissed, earning a gulp from Garet and a worried look from Mia.
"Ignore him! He's a buffoon!" Mia cried, smacking a hand to Garet's mouth. Sighing, Garet gave up.
Just when Sheba finally lowered the rope, a loud scream filled echoed in the air. Recognizing it instantly, Sheba jumped to her feet and looked toward the fighting area.
"Felix!" She gasped, heart pounding. It was easy to tell that he was the one who screamed… but Felix never screamed… "Felix, Felix, Felix, Felix…" She kept chanting his name, worry brewing inside her. Ripping her staff out, she ran toward where Felix and Piers were fighting…
"You're such a wimp…" Lying on the ground, Felix bit back any noise of acknowledging his pain. His shoulder had ripped open, and a huge gash could be seen developing from his left shoulder to his mid back. Since it was deep, his clothes began staining a dark red-like maroon… "You can't even handle a little paper cut…" Karst –who was standing over him- allowed her boot to meet with his agonizing wound. "Are you going to lay there and die or are you gonna die like a real man and fight me…?" Felix sighed as he considered his thoughts. He didn't want to die… that was for sure. But when you got a deep wound like that on your back, it's hard trying to ignore it… "Here… I'll help you out…" Slowly, Karst raised her scythe and the once serious look on her expression changed to a crazed grin. "For helping my sister and Saturos for the little time you did… I'll kill you quickly!"
"I… didn't exactly choose that…" Felix grunted, sitting up. Then again, who would?
"Well too bad! I'm choosing for you!" Felix couldn't stop his chocolate brown eyes from rolling. "Die, Felix!"
"NO!" A girl's scream came. Felix's eyes grew incredibly wide… when Sheba suddenly jumped onto Karst's back. Using her staff, Sheba repeatedly whacked Karst's head while the maroon haired woman hissed. "I won't let you lay a finger on him, you unnatural colored hair… freak! I have to get him back in one piece to Hama!" Then Felix's heart sank. That was right… oh god…
"Get off me, brat!" Wildly, Karst began swinging her scythe around, but Sheba wrapped her arms around Karst's face… which only angered the crazed woman more. Letting out a frustrated scream, Karst began speeding up in her swings.
"Yee-ha!" Sheba laughed, kicking her heels into Karst's rib cages.
"Sheba…" Struggling to crawl away from the scythe's path, Felix turned to send a worried look to the Wind Adept. "Be careful…!"
"I'm fine, Felix! I'm an expert at holding on!" Pausing, Sheba laughed while Karst tried stabbing at her with the scythe. "Hurry up and heal yourself!" Felix gave her a brief nod, and started casting Cure Well on himself.
"I'VE HAD IT!" Just as Felix finished the psyenergy, he watched Sheba… fly into him.
"Whoa!" Falling onto his back, he watched Sheba nervously grin at Karst… whose ponytails were starting to fall apart, and her maroon hair was all over her in some sort of crazed-maniac way.
"I'm tired… of your silly little games, Felix and brat!" At being called a brat, Sheba stuck her tongue out. "I'm going to kill you once and for all!" Once again Karst raised the scythe… only to have someone else bump into her. "What the…?" The force of her surprise attacker sent her tumbling to the ground… while her attacker –who was incredibly heavy-, lay on top of her.
"Sorry Karst…" A familiar gravely voice came to her ears. Wide eyed, Karst looked up to see Agatio laying on her. "I didn't realize the old guy was that strong…"
"Agatio…!" Everything suddenly had gone so wrong for her and her fighting partner…. Especially when a sword pointed at her nose… 2 staffs pointed at the two… while another sword tapped Agatio's forehead. Looking up, Agatio gulped while Karst loudly gritted her teeth at the sight of Felix and CO. standing in a circle around them.
"I'm. Not. Old." Piers growled through his teeth, hearing Agatio's last comment.
"Shall we kill them, Felix?" Jenna whispered darkly… an evil smirk plastered to her face. The two weird skin colored fighters allowed their eyes to widen… This didn't look good.
"I say we skin them and make stuffed Djinn out of them!" Sheba maniacally giggled, an equally dark look on her face. Now the two shivered, and flashed their eyes to the Earth Adept… who held a casual smile on his face. But his eyes held the dark shadow of bloodlust, which worried Karst immediately.
"No, no Sheba… we're going to do something so much worse…" Felix murmured. A low hiss came from Karst. She wasn't going to let him kill them… not while Prox was still in danger…
"Go ahead and finish us off…" Agatio whispered, looking away saddened. But Karst slapped him on the back of the head… and narrowed her light pink eyes.
"Kill us and your parents will be dragged to Hell with us." A gasp escaped Jenna while Felix's brown eyes widened. As quick as the shock came over the Earth Adept, anger replaced it. His gauntlet darted out, and snatched Karst by the collar.
"Explain." He ordered, pulling her close to him so they were at eye level.
"Think about it. Saturos and Menardi aren't coming back… and if Agatio and I don't return, your parents will probably be killed off by the other people at Prox…" Karst hissed, her eyes narrowing like his. Jenna clapped her hands to her mouth. They had a good point… Though Felix opened his mouth… he couldn't find the words. Letting them live would be a mistake for their future… but letting them die would be a mistake for his parent's future…
"Go a head and finish us off…" Agatio repeated, acting dramatic and not realizing what Karst had said could be true.
"How do we know this isn't some trick, Karst? Why should I believe you?" Felix demanded. She got ready to speak up, but a certain voice decided to put the words in her mouth.
"Because I can back them up on that. Her threats could be true Felix… and if I were in your boots, I sure wouldn't want my parents dead…" A cocky voice came, making Felix twitch while Jenna, Piers, and Sheba frown. As if to make things worse, a faint blue glow came to Karst and Agatio…!
"A-Alex! What do you think you are doing?" Felix shouted, dropping Karst as he watched the two revive. Whirling around, he watched Alex wave a hand at the two… and give the 6 his classic smile. "Trust me on this one Felix. You'll thank me later when you realize what I've done for you. And don't worry too much…" The cocky blue haired adept's smile only grew. "They're still weak. Let them leave and everything will work out. I won't let them cause you any more trouble… for now…" As though to guarantee the Earth Adept's safety, Alex sent Karst and Agatio a creepy smile… that made the two fighters gulp loudly.
"But how are you gonna get out of here?" Sheba asked, raising an eyebrow.
"No need to worry. We'll take the elevator!" Alex laughed. Instantly, Piers and Jenna exchanged glances. "If I'm not mistaken… I do believe that Isaac and his friends are coming… so we will take our leave!" Instantly, he sent a glare to Karst and Agatio. They two scrambled to their feet, and began slowly running to the elevator.
"Be careful Alex…" Jenna whispered. Now, she only meant it because if Karst's threats were true, than she was depending on Alex to make her parents stay alive…
"Oh my dear Jenna… you don't know how much that means to me…" Though Alex took a step toward the female Fire Adept… Felix sent him a warning glare while Piers pulled Jenna into a protective hug. Sighing, Alex flipped his hair. "Well… I know when I'm not wanted…" Alex muttered, turning to where Karst and Agatio had run off. "Farewell!" Then he too took off…
"Jenna!" Running into the opposite view… is Garet, his axe in his hands. After Karst had injured Isaac and Ivan, he wasn't going to let them get away… But when he ran into view, he was stunned to see no sight of either villains… and Piers protectively holding Jenna. "Hey! Where's those evil… monsters?" He bellowed, narrowing his eyes.
"Got away." Sheba simply said, a smile coming to her face when Ivan and the others came into her view. Angrily, Garet clenched his fists.
"How could you let them get away, Jenna?" He snapped, glaring at the fellow Fire Adept. However… his anger vanished in moments when he saw Jenna give him a hurt look.
"Garet…" As she pulled away from Piers, she failed to see the Water Adept's face fall. Watching her approach the other Fire Adept, Piers sent Garet an amber eyed glare. "If you knew what was going on, you two would have done the same thing…" Suddenly, her hurt look was replaced with anger as she stomped up to him and jabbed his chest. "And who gave you the right to take your anger out on me? Next time yell at someone else about letting the bad guys get away!" A grin came to Piers' face when he took note of how frightened Garet was from Jenna.
"Um… maybe… we should go back to Contigo and rest…?" Ivan suggested, stopping beside Sheba. Though everyone nodded in agreement… Felix and Sheba's face suddenly fell. "What's wrong…?"
"Oh my god! What time is it?" Sheba hissed, emerald eyes widening. Confused, Isaac and Mia glanced at one another.
"I don't know… Midnight maybe…?" Isaac whispered, shrugging. A scream of worry escaped Sheba while Felix gasped. "Did I say something bad?" Isaac questioned.
"We were meant to be there at 11:30! Oh no!" Sheba cried, running off.
"H-Hama!" Felix yelled, following shortly behind her.
"What's with them?" Mia asked, frowning at Ivan and Isaac. Just like the first two, Piers and Jenna paled. They remembered…
"We have to get back to the village, now!" Jenna ordered, grabbing Piers' hand and running after Felix and Sheba.
"Wait Jenna!" Garet called, chasing those two to make sure they didn't hold hands for too long…
"How foolish of me…" In the center of Contigo in the very same place where Hama met Felix for the first time… Hama stood. The full moon glowed down on her and she looked incredibly stunning. The only problem was her face held grief and sorrow… for she had waited a whole hour for Felix to come… and still nothing… "I'm never going to see him again… how hopeless of me to have even bothered coming here…" Slowly, she looked up at the full moon. "Felix… I hope you're happy with some new woman…"
Suddenly, footsteps caught her ears. Someone ran toward her, panting incredibly loud…
"H… Ha… Hama…" A deep and collected voice panted. Her dark violet eyes widened… and she slowly turned.
Standing in the moonlight was Felix… panting rather hard. The moonlight shone down on him also, making his brown eyes dark in a handsome way, and his hair shine. The blood from his old wound could be seen, but Hama could barely notice.
"Felix…?" Hama whispered, facing him fully…
HAHAHAHAHA! I LEAVE YOU WITH A CLIFF HANGER! I'll update soon, I promise. I've been re-inspired. Thanks for your times and please review!
