Dark Shadows Unleashed, Light is lit in Darkness

A/N: OMG! I am SO SORRY! Forgive me for the very long wait! And now I'm here, with a new chapter that has been awaited for for ummm about 6, 5 months? I am SO SORRY! Please have mercy and don't throw cookies at my face!

So umm anyways, lol. And it was too bad Drestine had to die in order for this chapter to come in! I really did enjoy writing Drestine. Maybe I'll do a flashback of Adam's and show Drestine in it. But... actually that'll be quite unnescessary. Unless anyone wants it:P (If yes, I'll have to think on what and where to put that flashback, lol) Anyways, thank you so much for the reviews, I appreciate it very much! I hope you enjoy and please review again! ;)

Disclaimer: I don't own Mutant X so I don't own the characters as well! (I wish I did!) But I do own any other characters I've created!

Previously on Dark Shadows Unleashed, Light is lit in Darkness...

"LIAR!" Drestine screamed as the wind cut into the Mutant X's flesh.

"NO! Drestine! Stop! You're going to kill yourself!" Adam shouted through the loud wind but Drestine's eyes were glowing with anger in the most menacing way possible. Drestine gave a shocked scream, an angered one, both sounding despairing and thunderous in the blasting wind coming from him and then in a bright, white flash, all the Mutant X blinked and Drestine was gone, the ropes that binded him on the chair dangling useless on the ground.

×××××××××××

Through the mistifying smoke still surrounding the chair that once held Drestine, a very faint light flickered through the smoke with a deep red color as small as a droplet of ink or even, in this case, blood. The Mutant X dared not turn back to investigate in that chair that had bond Drestine for it made them feel pity and disgusted at the same time. Whatever thing that was left on the table still blinked and then slowly it died away, it's coloring growing faint until it became the same color of dullness as the smoke that surrounded it. But it was enough time to lead the location of Sanctuary to their enemies...

×××××××××××

Brennan led Emma away from the scene where Drestine once lived, a grimace on his face. The injuries that Drestine's wind caused on his body was nowhere to be seen but for some strange reason, pain of the cuts still lingered with an aching throb. He winced from the pain but tried to ignore it. It will only worry Emma.

Emma was still in Brennan's arms and though she was unhurt from the blasts of wind that Drestine had caused, she still felt a small stinging pain on her cheek. Emma looked up at Brennan silently, her eyes watching his face with a soft smile. Brennan had saved her from Drestine...

Emma snuggled closer and blushed when Brennan put his hand on her hip gently. The two walked towards the balcony of Sanctuary and even without words, they knew each others thoughts from there.

"Brennan..." Emma began, looking up at him rather guiltily but a finger placed slowly on her lips silenced her.

"Forget it, Emma. I shouldn't have been so hard on you..." Brennan spoke and smiled, and this made Emma relax.

"I'm sorry, Brennan. You were right. I should have listened to you... And that kiss, I didn't-" Emma began but Brennan cut off. "It's alright. I know Gerald, I mean Drestine, came forward to you. I know you too well, remember?"

This made Emma laugh and the uneasiness that had strained her mind slowly started disappearing. Silence spread between the two, and they just looked out towards the outside. The sun was setting, and a brilliant orange sun showered bright light towards the mountains, where Sancturary was hidden. Sanctuary... what a fitting name... Emma thought and smiled to herself as she grasped onto the pole of the balcony, just in case there was a sudden gust of wind, and she was in an accident that included falling off a cliff.

"What was Drestine?" Brenna said finally, breaking the silence. Emma turned to look at him and his handsome features and her lips creased into a slight frown.

"He was an Illusionist, Brennan, I... felt it. That was why he had the ability to hurt us with that abnormal wind and trick our eyes into thinking he was Gerald Harrison."

"Who could be hunting for me, Emma?" Brennan said, and for the first time, Emma saw worry fill his eyes. She let her hand stretch out towards Brennan's cheek, caressing it gently. Brennan's own hand touched the hand as Emma smiled.

"You're stronger then them, Brennan. You have nothing to worry about."

"I am not worried about that." Brennan looked at her with a sad and almost desperate expression.

"Then what is it?" Emma asked, confusion started to cling on her voice. Brennan let her hand slip from his cheek, and his face came closer towards her. Emma's eyes sparkled in the sunlit balcony as Brennan pushed away a strand of Emma's hair away from her eyes. "If I get captured, I won't be able to protect you."

Emma looked surprised at first at this comment, but then smiled. "You won't leave me..."

And with that, she leaned forward, kissing him as she closed her eyes. Brennan, this time, was taken off guard, but then kissed her back, leaning closer towards Emma as the sun continued to go down.

But it was quickly broken when there was a sudden warning bellow that echoed through Sancturary. Emma and Brennan withdrew slowly, and they ran inside, looking confusedly at each other.

"What's happening?" Emma shouted as they caught sight of Adam and Shalimar running towards them.

"We're under attack!" Adam shouted. Emma and Brennan immediately readied their powers. There was a sudden bang from the entrance to Sancturary. Shalimar's eyes glowed feral. Emma, Brennan and Shalimar all turned to Adam, and he frowned terribly.

"We'll have to leave! They'll come and capture like Jesse! Head for the direction of the jet!" Adam answered and they all nodded, running for the route where the jet lay. Another defeaning bang echoed alongside the bellowing of the computer up above their heads. Shalimar took the chance of looking towards her back, and saw to her horror a whole lot of soldiers coming in with guns and helmets at the ready.

"Adam, we won't make it!" Emma shouted as Brennan gripped her hand tightly.

"I know..." Adam whispered as they ran furiously towards the route of the jet. There was a shout as gunshots were heard, pointed towards their direction.

"I'll fight them!" Brennan shouted, and immediately got a glare from Shalimar. "No you're not!"

"Fine! We both will!" Brennan shouted. Emma, Shalimar and Brennan all halted and faced the soldiers, who readied their guns. Adam stood behind them, shouting for them to stop and run instead, but they wouldn't listen.

Emma let her mind concentrate as she shot mind blasts towards the soldiers who came at them with punches. Shalimar was at work, kicking their asses as they tumbled like ragdolls onto the floor. Brennan, also, was in the middle of electrocuting the soldiers. But the more they did, the more the soldiers surrounded them.

"Surrender and you shall not be harmed!" one soldier yelled as they stood in front of Brennan, Shalimar and Emma, guns raised towards their hearts.

"I don't think so!" Emma shouted as she blasted the men with the guns. All of them ran, followed by a yelling Adam. But there was a ear-splitting shot of gun, and a bullet came whizzing towards them. Usually it didn't hit any of them, but unfortunately, this one hit Emma. Emma gave out a cry as she fell during her run. Brennan ran towards her, heaving her to her feet, but the soldiers were faster. Brennan gave out a frustrated yell as he zapped them, pushing them out of the way. Shalimar helped as well but this time they were overwhelmed. Emma gave out a pained sob as she grabbed at Brennan clothes. A soldier ripped her away from Brennan's strong arms and Brennan exclaimed angrily, trying to reach out for her. Shalimar also tried to do the same, shouting, but she was knocked off her feet.

"NO! EMMA!" Brennan roared as he saw Emma struggle, even in her pain. The back of a gun struck her head and made her head sink unconscious. Brennan furiously zapped a whole lot of the soldiers, trying to get to her, but this time Shalimar did not do the same. She grabbed for his arm, dragging him away from the shooting soldiers.

"Let go, Shalimar!" Brennan snarled and attempted to push her off. But somehow her grip was strong as she pulled him away from the soldiers. "If you die in the battle, you won't be no use to Emma! Emma needs us alive! We'll rescue her, but until then, we can do no more, Brennan! I can't believe I'm saying this but it's true!"

"No, that's not true! She needs us now! We need to get her back!" Brennan growled as he was pulled away from the hall and dragged inside the jet with the help of Adam.

"Brennan, she's right! We need to get ourselves out of here!" Adam yelled as Brennan gave a yell of frustration. The door of the jet closed and Shalimar dived for the front seat, along with Adam. Brennan snarled curses and then painfully put his head into his hands as he cried. He feared for Emma. And it was all he's fault! If it hadn't been for him, the Dark Enemies would never have been after him, and therefore would never have kidnapped Emma! But he was more furious towards Shalimar and Adam, and so he glared in his seat.

"Hold on!" Adam shouted as the jet zoomed up the air, the familiar sounds of gunshoots fired towards them. Shalimar winced as the jet shook violently from the small yet damadging impacts. Quickly the jet escaped Sancturary, and with that, they zoomed into the air, disappearing invisibly out into the setting sun.
