Chapter Seven:
Daggers, daggers everywhere
"Emmy! You're out! Can you get me out?" Shion was amazed at how quickly her daughter inherited Gaignan's technique.
"I should be able to..." she focused her energy at her hand and imagined a blade, and soon enough, a dagger appeared. She then jabbed it into the anti electric covering and ripped it off. "Yes! It's off!"
"All right!" she summoned her M.W.S. "Stand back Emmy!" Emmy stepped back, and with a quick zap, Shion was out. "Ok, so, what did Dad say to you?"
"He said he's try and come get us. They need you to activate the distress signal though, or else they can't find us!"
"Ok, I can do that. Albedo broke the computer though, so I'll have to start it over..."
"That's ok." Emmy created a dagger and waved it back and forth. "I'll keep Albedo busy..." she gave her hand a quick flick and the dagger went flying into the wall.
"But Emmy! You can't! What if he tricks you again?" Shion was worried.
"It's ok Mom. He thinks we're still stuck in there. He won't be tricking me again."
"Well... ok. At least now I know you have a good attack to defend yourself with. Be careful!" Shion ran off, looking for a new computer.

After much searching, Emmy finally found Albedo. Peeking around a corner, she found him sitting in a chair, watching the outer cameras. Deciding to catch him off guard, she created a dagger, and ran up behind him. Without a second thought, she rammed the dagger through the chair. Unfortunately for her, the back of the chair was pretty think, and the dagger hardly pierced Albedo.
"What's this?" he got up and turned to face Emmy. "So, you've escaped. With the help of daddy too, it seems. Well, that's not going to help you!" Holding out his hand, he shot a beam of energy at Emmy, but she dodged it. He continued shooting, and shooting, forcing Emmy back to a wall. "Heh... with your lousy long range attacks, and your dagger of no use from that far, you can't do anything!" he began charging up for the final blow.
"I'm not through with you yet!" Emmy created a dagger and waved it back and forth, as if to throw it Albedo. He stopped charging his attack, interested by Emmy's actions. "Let's see you try this!" she flung the dagger straight at Albedo, catching him by surprise. It went straight into his chest. "Bulls eye!"she jumped in victory.
Albedo looked at the dagger in his chest, tugging it out. "Hmm... so you made it slightly longer, making it lighter and easier to throw, eh? Looks like your smarter than I thought. But just cause you put a dagger in me doesn't mean I'm done for." his chest began glowing purple, and in no time, his chest was a good as new, and free of blood.
"What!" Emmy wasn't prepared for something like this. "But... how did you do that? I just hit you... but your..."
"Good as new?" Albedo took joy in her confusion. "Well I have powers too you know. I can regenerate any part of myself at will. Care for a demonstration?" charging up another ball of energy, Albedo blew off his head.
"Oh my god!" she turned away as blood splattered all over the room.
Albedo's headless body walked around as if it was drunk. And stopped in front of Emmy. He bent down to her, and purple energy covered up the spot where his head once was, and a new head appeared. She gasped in surprise. "Ahh..." he twisted his neck around. "Isn't it wonderful?"
Emmy's face showed nothing but pure fear. "You... you're a.. .monster!"
"Why thank you." he laughed, taking this opportunity to blast Emmy into the wall again. "Now... about that move of your's... you've got to make it efficient..." he created a dagger of his own as Emmy struggled to get up.

"Yes! It's done!" Shion shouted out in joy as the upload finally completed. "Now I just have to wait... and hope."

"Captain? We're receiving a distress signal."
"It's about time!" Tony interrupted. "We're at Second Miltia!"
"Great!" Matthews said. "Now, where's that distress signal coming from chaos?"
"It's... not to far from here!" he pushed some buttons on his moniter. "Only... 15 parsecs from here!"
"All right! Get a move on Tony!"
"Aye aye Captain!"
Gaignan stared out into space. "Don't worry... we're coming for you...
—
"Yes... that's it! This is better! Like this!" Albedo jumped back and threw his dagger at Emmy. She jumped out of the way, and the dagger got stuck in the wall.
"How's that any better?" she asked.
Albedo began laughing. "Take a look if you want to find out!"
Emmy looked at the dagger, and slowly walked towards it. When nothing happened, she tried to grab it but it exploded on her! Albedo laughed again as Emmy got up, shaking her head. "By injecting some extra energy in those daggers, I've turned them into my own throwing bombs! Now this is a weapon! I'll have to thank your daddy for teaching you it. But I must say... my aim is a bit off... I should practice!" forming another dagger, he threw it at Emmy. She jumped out of the way as it exploded, and another dagger was making it's way towards her. She ducked, and took it out of the wall, fueling it with some of her energy, she tossed it back at Albedo. It landed near him, and exploded sending him flying back.
"Ha! Take that!" not wasting a moment, Emmy created another dagger and ran towards Albedo. He flipped around in the air, landing on his feet, and he created another dagger. Emmy went in to stab him, but he stopped it with his dagger. She jumped back, making Albedo lose his balance, and threw her dagger into his chest again. "Let's try this new trick of yours." focusing some energy into the dagger, she willed it to explode. He flew back, and when the dust cleared, he was standing there, his chest covered in blood.
"Haha..." his laugh was cut off by an attack of coughs, and some spitting of blood. "You're a quick learner. I'll enjoy blowing you up..." more purple energy surrounded his chest and he regenerated that which he lost. "Much better. Now where were we?" he quickly ran up to Emmy, and with one arm hugged her.
"What are you... mmf... doing?" she struggled to get loose.
"Don't take this as an expression of emotions. I'm holding you down." with his other hand, he created another dagger, and stabbed Emmy in the stomach. Having dealt his blow, he let go of her and pushed her back.

"Sister! We've found you!" Jin cam running through the hall to Shion.
"Jin! Who else is with you?"
"Ziggy and chaos should be here soon. Come on, we have to go!" he pulled her away from the computer.
"Wait...! What about Gaignan?" she pulled her arm away from Jin.
"He's off finding Albedo. We knew that if he wasn't there, Albedo would get suspicious and search for him mentally."
Ziggy and chaos quickly join the two siblings. "Yes." Ziggy added "Jr. is also with Gaignan. So we must leave."
"But..." Shion was still confused. "What about the others?"
"They're weren't... well enough to come with. Kos-Mos and Momo are still in the Elsa. They're still recovering." chaos explained. "Now we should leave."
"Ok." Shion turned back to the computer. "Just give me a second." she typed some codes, and the screen began flashing a warning. Self-destruct start up sequence preparing. The self destruction will start in 10 minutes. After that, 10 minutes more until total destruction. Please evacuate immediately.
"What did you do?" Jin cried out.
"This should help distract Albedo later, when it starts up. That'll give Gaignan and Jr. a chance to escape."
"Good thinking." Ziggy nodded. "Let's go." Jin, Ziggy and chaos ran down the hall.
Shion stared down the hall that Emmy ran off into. "Be safe..." she whispered. "Please... come back to me." and then she followed the others to the Elsa.

"Emmy! No!" Gaignan yelled out, running to her daughter. He had finally found Emmy.
"Ahh, so daddy's finally here." Albedo cooed.
"Dad..." Emmy coughed up blood. "I'm sorry... I tried..."
"It's ok Emmy... just rest." he opened the door and layed Emmy outside the door, where Jr. was, unnoticed by Albedo. He nodded towards Jr. and he put her on his back and ran off.
"You bastard..." Gaignan muttered, walking back into the room. "Emmy had nothing to do with this! Neither did Shion! You had no right dragging them into this!"
He shrugged, grinning. "She wanted her mommy, so I brought her along."
Gaignan growled, his aura appearing. "Shut up... and fight." And with no other warning, Gaignan ran towards Albedo.
