Hyper Force would go to rescue immediately but Antauri commanded…sleep.
''We won't be good for any use if we go and attack Citadel while we barely stand.'' And no one could object, cause it was true. If they would attack in this state, then they would need to be rescue. Luckily there were no attacks. Only Chiro barely fall in sleep. He was worried for Dawn.
''I hope you're o.k. ….'' He whispered before rest won over him.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dawn opened her eyes. Last she remembered was that Formless covered her and blackness covered her.
''It could be
worse.'' Mumbled Dawn, looking around.
''Well, maybe
not.'' She added. Dawn was hanging above blackness and she was
pretty high. Above her was darkness too. Meanwhile her hands were in
silver chain, which was a bit too tightly. She was feeling like
someone was stealing her energy and also dizzy. She tried to melt the
chains, but the chains squeezed her hands more and she saw her energy
traveling on the chain. She stopped melting try. Chains were back to
normal.
''I don't get it.
If I was so long on these chains, shouldn't I be like a zombie? My
energy is limited and…'' then she figure out why the bone bag
wanted her freewill.
''Energy cannot
end. It's all around us in many forms…energy is life and death.
So the only way to get me and not to loose energy would be if someone
sucked out MY spirit…not energy…that explains why I feel weak and
dizzy…'' Dawn was a bit happy, still angry.
''Still this
philosophy won't get me out…'' she started to look around.
And from that point she saw only two possibilities.
''I could fake that
I have no spirit. Then the chains would move enough that I could pull
my hands out…but I wouldn't have enough time to grab…wait.
These walls are smooth, so I would slip anyway. Or I could sur''
Flashback
''NO! Are you
crazy? We're fighting because of that. Because you don't want to
serve him! And you mustn't! Bone bag is evil!'' Chiro was
shaking her body and sadness rushed through his face.
''I don't want
to lose you…'' he whispered and hugged her.
She shook her head.
''No. I don't
want too lose you either…where are they?'' She was worried for
them. SK could easily won over them. He could destroy them now, when
he's got what he wanted…
''Broke my shield,
but my spirit will never be break.'' She took a deep breath and
for a moment…she left her body. In same time chains disappeared and
she feel. But her spirit came back in body and she realized the
terror of her body. This time…it wasn't her dad feeling but she
was. And darkness started to take over her. She was afraid and her
plan was really full of holes… what to do? Who to call for help?
Her heart was beating faster and faster and the deep didn't want to
finish…at the highest point of terror…she fell out. She was
shaking and her heart was slowly slowing down. But fear covered her
abilities, so she couldn't see who is behind her. Her body was
covered with black liquid. She assumed she was still in Formless. Of
course she could never assumed that liquid started to get a form of
chains and chained her on the floor…When the fear was away and she
could use her abilities, she froze.
''Now, that I have your attention, perhaps I can show you the power of darkness.'' SK laughed and Dawn gulped. Her only thoughts were with Hyper Force…she could only hope that she could connect someone from there…
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chiro was sleeping sleep without dreams…he only needed rest…of course it's hard to do that if you're thinking on beloved person…and know that the person can get hurt…
''Chiro…Antauri…Gibson…Sprx…Nova…Otto…anybody…'' It was Dawn's voice echoing in his head.
''Dawn! Where are you? Are you hurt?'' Chiro was worried and Dawn felt that
''For now I'm only scared to death…like you…where? In front of Bone bag! He haven't left the orbit…I don't know why…please hurry…I don't know why'' Dawn lied about why, but the rest was true.
''But I'm feeling weak…I have my power but I don't dare to use it…it's like something is there in me…''
''Don't use it! Antauri commanded rest…at least for an hour…we'll come…I promise''
''Please…hurry…! Then her voice disappeared. Chiro quickly stand up and went to Antauri…
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
''Chiro…''
Was her last thought?
''How cute…but
the truth is, that it's repulsive…still you made a mistake…you
invited your friends right in the trap'' SK laughed.
''Why didn't you
kill them already? I won't serve you…and all you did was that you
gave them time to rest…and when they came''
''They'll see you
on my side.''
''Hell no! I will
never serve you…bas'' she tried to say, but the chain around
her neck got tighter and tighter…she couldn't get air…
''That's where
you're wrong…heir.'' He stands up and goes to her. He stopped
a step away from her…and she was chocking.
''Your bird may
covered the mark, still it is there…power of darkness is what you
need to fear…and you will serve me without knowing that all this
happen.'' The chain released and Dawn was catching her breath.
''The mark is
slowly deleting your memory…and chain is helping it to do job
faster…tell me…do you still remember how your father looks like?
The voice of your mother…and your dreams where the dam bird
protected you?''
''Those who fear
darkness have never seen what the light can do.'' She said
quietly.
Then she froze. She
couldn't remember anything of that…she thought that she forgot
her mother because it's late august and the last time she saw her
was in may…but the dreams…she barely knew the names of hyper
force. She was on edge of tears.
''N…no…no…NO!''
She used her power against SK…but before she could do her energy
punch…she forgot everything…she couldn't remember how she got
there…who she was…she was confused and chains were gone. SK
laughed, when Dawn looked at him with eyes full of questions.
''Now, now, did you
forgot what were you about to do?'' he mocked her and Dawn only
nod.
SK touched her head.
''Some minds are
more open then others…and right now your is more open then any
other.'' But he had something is in hand and it started to…grow
on Dawn's head. Dawn started to shake and she was cold…something
was covering her and it hurt her. She didn't know what to do. She
bit her lips.
''Looks bad. I
don't know if you'll make it.'' SK laughed and turned around.
''On darkness
feeding, in nightmares breeding…that was the purposes of your bad
dreams…too bad that you didn't tell Antauri what actually happen
in them…''
It was like Dawn got
new memories…for a moment she was all black and formless…and then
she got her form back. Her hairs were now long and same color as
before (even the white ones). Her nails were longer, teeth sharper
and the look in her eyes…her eyes were turned to red. And her dress
was black.
''My Lord…''
she bowed to SK…He smiled.
''Do you remember
anything with the name Dawn…heir?''
''I do not my
Lord.'' She answered.
''Good. Tell me
your name…''
''You know it my
Lord…''
''TELL IT.''
''It's Shade my
Lord.''
''And what is your
mission?''
''That I with my
energy…even if it takes life one…that I destroy Hyper Force and
to serve you with all my power…my Lord''
''Yes…yes! Go and
rest…Soon it will came your time.''
''Yes my Lord.''
She bowed and back ford walk from room, where throne was. SK started
to smile and soon those smiles grow to evil laugh, which was heard
through Citadel of Bone.
''Mandarin!''
''What do you wish
sir?''
''Well done…she
is here…that's why I will grand you with life…and privilege
that you may kill Antauri.''
''Thank you…you
are too generous…''
''I know. Now go,
before my good mood disappears…that dam boy can still ruined the
plan…be sure that she won't fought with him, until she doesn't
kill the rest of the team.''
''Yes my Lord''
and Mandarin walked away, meanwhile SK sat at his throne and waited
Hyper Force.

Chiro:
"Super!"
Antauri:
"Robot!"
Gibson:
"Uh, Team!"
Otto:
"Hyper!"
Nova:
"Force!"
All: "Go!"
'' I hope
we're not too late…'' thought Chiro and all the team…were they?
Note: I'm evil...no worries. I am not...but is Dawn (or should I say Shade) evil?
