Chapter Fourteen: The finally Battle
Shadow ran as fast as he could. Eric and Nick were close behind him. 'Dream…please be safe,' he thought tears running down his cheeks. He couldn't stop him from taking her away but he had to save her. "Shadow slow down," said Eric trying to keep up. "Ya, Well save her don't worry," Nick said softly. "I can't help it. I promised that I would always be there for her…I promised…and now she's all alone with no one there to protect her," Shadow said his speed increasing. Eric sighed. 'He's right. If it was Alexandra I would also be rushing to save her. Can't blame him,' he thought increasing his speed. The boys had finally made it to the shore. They saw two figures. "Peter! Disean," said Shadow landing beside them. "Shadow…your going there as well," he asked looking back at dark island. Shadow nodded. "They have Dream," he said softly. "They kidnapped Nicole and Lisa," said Peter with anger. "We better hurry before its to late," said Disean. They all nodded and jumped into the water. Nick and Eric smiled. "He's maturing," he said softly. "Yes…but you know in the end…will lose all of them," Nick said sadly. Eric smiled. "I guess your right," said Eric looking up at the dark sky. "Well we better hurry up and catch up to them before there out of our sight," said Nick pointing at the tree boys, who were half way to there destination. "True," said Eric jumping into the water
"Wake up Dream," said Nicole shaking her. Dream opened her eyes weakly. "My head," she said rubbing it. It was pounding like crazy. "You have a headache because your controlled by that man," said Lisa. Dream opened on eye to look at her surroundings. She could hardly see but she knew that it was really dark, as if they were in a dungeon. She took out her glass and put them on. She finally saw everything. They were more like in a lab. She stood up. Her body ached. "What happened," she asked a bit confused. "You had been hypnotized by that old man and he brought you here. He kidnapped us too," Nicole explained taking out her laptop. "Ya but you were deeply brain washed," said Lisa. Dream blinked a couple of times. "What do you mean," she asked sitting back down. "You were last one to be kidnapped but you didn't transform back to normal until Nicole had to say the fire princess smell ten times," Lisa explained waving her hands. "I don't remember anything. The last thing I did was…AHHHHH! I bit Shadow," she screamed. They both stared at her. "You sure," asked Lisa thinking she was still half asleep. "No she's right," said Nicole showing them the video clip. "How do you video tap her if your not with her," Lisa screamed. "I have my sources," she said smiling and putting her laptop away. "Come on we have to get out of here," said Dream standing up. "Like your going anywhere," said Ashley walking into the room. "Ashley," Lisa and Nicole screamed. Dream wasn't surprised. "Fools. There's no way of you getting out of her alive. I will first kill your friends and soon I'll let you kill each other," she explained taking out three seeds. "Who's are those," Lisa asked shocked. One was glowing blue, the other yellow and the third one white. "That can't be…," said Dream holding her chest. "Yup. Its your seeds. I made copies of them. There so perfect that if I tighten my grip…," she said squishing the seeds. Dream, Nicole and Lisa fell to there knees, trying to breath. "The your seeds feel all the pain, but if I squish it so hard. She said trying to break the seeds. Dream. Nicole and Lisa screamed in pain, there eyes turning blank. "Then you can die," she said smiling evilly. "That's enough Ashley," a man said walking into the room. They all sighed and passed out.
"Why did you ruin the fun," Ashley said with anger. "If you kill them now you'll destroy our plan. You want to destroy Shadow don't you," he asked looking at Dream. "Yes dad,' she said grinning. "Now the boys are here on the island. I want you to give the other two crystals you took from those girls and give them to Dream. "Why! I took them from Michelle and Alexandra1 I should at least be able to keep them1," she shouted. "If you give them to her she'll be more powerful. Plus she used those crystals before so its almost impossible for her to control it," he explained. "Fine," said Ashley taking out the two crystals. They both went in front of Dream and went into her hands. Dream was half awake, trying to understand what was going on. She then felt the crystals entering her hands. She felt sudden strike of pain. She moaned a bit and fainted again. "Now the battle begins," the man said smiling.
"Now where do we go," Disean asked looking around. The land died. There was nothing there but died land. Nothing could grow here. They then heard a sudden beeping noise. They looked at Eric and Nick. Both there lockets were glowing. Eric took out his and opened it. His eyes widened. "What's wrong," Shadow asked. Eric looked at him. "Alexandra…she's dying," he said slowly, shocked. "WHAT," the shouted. "Michelle too," said Nick sighing. "How," said Peter. "There crystals. There not there. If someone's seed is taken away form them in 3 minutes or less they'll die. In this case it's the same for Michelle, Alexandra, and Dream. Michelle and Alexandra both carry one crystal each, rock and time. If there separated from there crystal for at least three hours there going to die," Eric explained closing his locket. "Then you guys have to get there crystals back," said Disean. "Yes…but we can't leave you guys here alone," said Nick. "Its okay just go and help Michelle and Alexandra," said Peter. Eric and Nick looked at each other. "Fine…but be careful," said Nick. They both dashed into the other direction, disappearing into the mist. "Now how are we going to find the girls," said Shadow. "You won't have to," said Ashley appearing. "Ashley," shouted Shadow. "Ah…Shadow. Long time no see," said Ashley with anger. "What do you want Ashley," said Disean. "You should know…," she said with anger. "
"What do you mean…unless… you mean you're the one who…," said Peter unable to finish his sentence. Two holes formed under him and Disean and they both fell in. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhh," they screamed falling into the portal, it disappearing. "Peter! Disean," Shadow screamed. They were gone. "Where are you taking them," he asked with rage. "There going to meet there worst fears," she said smiling. "What do you mean," Shadow asked looking into her dark eyes. "You'll soon realize it, as you too are going to meet your worst fears," said Ashley taking out a seed. It glowed a bright white. A figure then appeared beside Ashley. Her blue hair reached her lower back. She was wearing Blue pants and a yellow tang, he black jacket covering it. Her eyes were blank. Shadow's eyes widened. "…Dream…," he whispered.
Peter opened his eyes weakly. He didn't know where he was. He sat up and looked at his surroundings. He was in a lab. "Finally," said Nicole. "Huh…Nicole," he said blushing. ((Just to tell you Mimi and Peter broke up with each other since Mimi must go back to her realm in a few more days. So he went with Nicole)) "No its time for your worst nightmare," her eyes turning blank and a water ball forming in her hand.
Disean opened his eyes immediately. There was a killing pain stabbing his neck. He tried to move but it seemed that he was tied up. He then noticed Lisa, who was poking him with a knife. "What are you doing," he asked. "Oh your awake," she smiled, standing up. "Good. I can finally have some fun," she said taking out two swords, he eyes turning blank. ((Just to inform you there eyes turn blank because there being controlled by Ashley))
"…Dream," Shadow said shocked. "Oh this is going to be a great fight," Ashley said laughing evilly. "Dream wake up," he shouted. She didn't respond. "Don't try. She and her friends are totally under my control, Thanks to these seeds. "How do you have Dream's seed," Shadow asked taking out his sword. "Oh this. I made a copy of her seed. It was pretty hard. Her seed is really complicated," Ashley said tightening her grip on the seed. Dream took out her staff. "No it's time to fight," Dream said coldly. Shadow was shocked. He had never seen Dream's bad side. She always so joyful but know she has no choice but to fight. 'I can't fight her…,' he thought shivering. "If your not going to make the first move I will," Dream said launching herself at him her staff glowing a bright white. Shadow braced himself. The attack was way to much for him to handle and he flew into a dead tree. Dream landed on the ground safety on the ground. "Get up Shadow," she said her staff disappearing. Shadow slowly got up. Tears rolled down his cheeks. Everything he had was taken away from him little by little. First his friends, then family and now the only person he truly cared about. He didn't want to lose her… they promised they would find him. "Dream snap out of it," he shouted. Tears rolled down his cheeks. Dream just stood there looking at him, with those cold, blue, blank eyes. "Dream we had a promise," he screamed. Dream's eyes widened. They then turned back to normal. Tears rolled down her cheeks. She fell to her knees, clutching her chest. Pain surged threw her body, as if some one was electrocuting her. "What…how is this possible," Ashley said squeezing Dream's seed harder. Tears rolled down hr cheeks. She let out a scream. "Dream…," said Shadow getting up and running to her. "Shadow…don't come near me," she said shivering with pain. Shadow stopped in front of her. "Dream…," he whispered. Dream's eyes then turned blank. She took out a dagger an stabbed Shadow in the arm. She pulled out the dagger and jumped beside Ashley. Shadow fell to his knees, holding the wound on his shoulder.
"How sad Shadow. You've lost everything. Your friends, your family, your true love and now your going to lose your life," she said smiling. Shadow tried to get up but failed. Blood dripped on the ground. "Your so pathetic. You could even help your family. They were easy to kill," said Ashley. Shadow's eyes widened. "You killed them…It was you all along. You wanted to kill me but Dream wouldn't let you," said Shadow tears rolling down his cheeks. Ashley laughed. "Dream knew all about this, but she was to scared to tell you," Ashley said squeezing the seed harder. Dream took out whip. "Finish him," Ashley commanded. Dream slowly walked towards Shadow. Shadow smiled weakly. "I'm sorry… I'm really sorry Amy. I couldn't keep my promise," he said tears rolling down his face. Dream stopped in front of him. She heard what he said. "I promised to save you too Mario…but I couldn't…I'm so weak," he said as tears dropped on the ground. Dream's eyes turned back to normal. Tears streamed down her face as she remembered the promised she made with Shadow. "Kill him," she said squeezing the seed even harder. Dream felt the pain but ignored it. She knelt down. She raised her hand and a light glow came from her hand. Shadow's wound healed slowly. "What are you doing! KILL HIM," she screamed squeezing the seed so hard it looked like it was about to crack. Dream finished healing Shadow and stood up. "I'm sorry Ashley but you lose," she said weakly. She closed her eyes and raised her hands to her chest. Shadow opened his eyes weakly. He then realized what she was about to do. "NO," he said tacking her into a tree. Dream looked at him tears rolling down her cheeks. "I won't let you sacrifice yourself," he said as more tears formed in his eyes. "But…I cause you so much pain…I shouldn't even be alive…," she cried. Shadow smiled. He moved her head towards him and kissed her. Her eyes widened as the pain surged threw her body. Ashley was squeezing the crystal as hard as she could. It finally cracked and shattered into little pieces. Dream suddenly felt really weak as if all her energy being drained. Shadow was still kissing her. She closed her eyes slowly. There lips soon parted. The both fell to there knees. "I guess where going to be able to punish the person who killed them," Shadow said weakly. Dream smiled. "Ya…I give you permission," she said closing her eyes weakly. She fainted into Shadow's arms. Shadow smiled. He wiped the tears from her cheeks. He laid her softly on the ground. He took off his jacket and covered Dream with it. He then stood up. Ashley's face was full of rage. "How…HOW," she screamed falling to her knees. "Love destroys anything. There was no chance of you winning. So prepare to die," he said raising his hands to chest. He closed his eyes. His chest started to glow. His dark seed soon released out of his body. He opened his eyes. "I call on the shadows of death to here by sentence you to hell for eternity," Shadow said eyes blank. Dream's chest started to glow. Her seed had soon released from her body. Both the light and dark seeds used all the energy to hold down Ashley's evil spirit. "NO," she screamed. Dark and Light chains came out of the earth and wrapped Ashley up. She screamed as she saw the fire. "No! Please…Nooo," she screamed disappearing. Both the dark seed and light seed shattered into little crystals. Shadow slow walked to his love. Laid down beside her. "Thank you Dream," he said kissing her. At that moment both there hearts stopped.
"Shadow…Dream…wake up," said Eric. Both Nick and Eric had given up there lives so that Michelle and Alexandra would live. Nicole and Peter had also died from losing too much blood. Eric held Dream in his arms, while Nick held Shadow. Shadow opened his eyes. Nick soon came into view. "Nick…where am I," he asked sitting up slowly. "Where in the waiting room," he said smiling. "Dream," he said crawling beside her. She moaned a bit and opened her eyes weakly. "Dream," said Nicole. Dream sat up. "huh…," she said, still half asleep. They all smiled. They then saw a woman. "Welcome," she said bowing. The groups stood up and bowed. "So this time were really going in huh," said Eric smiling. The woman smiled. "Not exactly. Your going to live again," she said softly. They all looked at each other. "You see you may be died now but you're going to reborn again, but in a different time. Your not going to remember each other when your reborn, though," she said sadly. Shadow looked into Dreams blue eyes. "Then will never see each other again," she said softly. Shadow smiled. "Ya we will. Were still going to be the carriers of the seeds. So sooner or later we have to meet," he said smiling. Dream smiled. "Okay," she said hugging him. "You all ready," she said pointing to the door. They all said there good byes and nodded. One bye one they went in. Soon only Dream and Shadow were left. They both faced each other. "I guess this is it," she said sadly, tears rolling down her cheeks. "Don't worry," he said wiping the tears from her cheeks. "Well meet again… promise," he said taking out a box. Dream blushed. She opened it. It contained a heart shaped locket. Shadow was already wearing one. "No matter what…you'll always have this to remember me," he said kissing her. ((This is so sad waaaaa TT)) Tears rolled down his cheeks. She was the only one who cared but he wouldn't lose her. They'll meet again. The broke the kiss and smiled. The both held hands. "I love you," said Shadow. "I love you too and I'll always love you," she said kissing him on the cheek. The doors opened revealing only light. The looked at each other one more time and walked in, hand in hand.
