Chapter 14
Gulie awakes to find rubble near him and a path of dust clear up to where he was. Guile vaguely remembered a blast then everything went black Jugding by the dirt trail it seems he was moved from the debrey and placed somewhere safe. Suddenly remembering Dhalsim was with him Gulie charges quickly into the temple hoping everything was alright. Entering the room Guile found Dhalsim lying on the ground bleeding. Gulie runs over to Dhalsim to look him over to see if he was alive. Guile knew by the marks on Dhalsims body that this was Dark's work. Guile lifted Dhalsim trying to get him to the village. Dhalsim grab Guiles arm and whispers,"Save the child. She is in the jungle seriously wounded. If she does not receive any kind of care soon she will make not it."
"What about you?"
"Save the child. I will be fine, but hurry please."
Guile nods and rushes off. Dhalsim carefully moves his body into a meditative state and breaths calmly. Green energy begins to surround him as the wind begins to pick up in the temple. The air flow rushes around him making a small twister with the wind picking up every second. The energy increases as it flows around Dhalsim until finally the wind stops and the energy becomes a tower with Dhalsim as a base. The energy bust throught the temple lighting it up all the to the entrance. Dhalsim opens his eyes and stood up completely healed. Dhalsim walks out of the temple to help those who need his medical skill.
Guile rushes into the jungle unsure of where to go. Dhalsim had told him that a child was bleeding but he failed to state where. Looking for some clue Guile looks down and notices footprints in the dirt. Trusting his instints Guile follows them hoping they will lead him to where this child was. The bright moonlight made it easy for Guile to follow the foot prints throught the jungle. Guile stops suddenly when he see another set of tracks join the first. Looking down the new set Guile finds a bloody Sakura lying in the dirt. "Hey kid wake up." Guile rushes in carefully checking to see if she was alive. His heart was pounding very hard at the sight of her. Sakura was so young he refused to believe she was even close to death. Though she was seventeen Guile could not help but look at her as if she was a child. When checking her pulse he finds it to be faint. Quickly Guile takes his shirt off and tears it into bandges covering what wounds he can to stop further bleeding. After his quick first aid Guile picks Sakura up bridal style and carries her to the village.
Hokuto was over Ryu giving him mouth to mouth trying to get him to breath she had been at it for five minutes now but Ryu still laid there lifeless. Hokuto leaned down close to him. "Please stay with me. I love you and I don't want to lose you. I have felt sorrow after my brother began to serve Shadow Geist and my sorrow has just been growing until I saw you. Though I have never showed until yesterday I've loved you ever since I met you." Hokuto kissed Ryu hard showing her true affection for him. Blue energy floats around Hokuto and Ryu surrounding them making both of them glow. As the enery flowed into them Ryu embraced Hokuto bring her close to him. Hokuto eye widened as she saw Ryu alive. Tears streamed down her face as she embraced him tightly.
Ryu held her close."I heard every word you said. I couldn't leave you after hearing it. I love you and promise to always be with you."
"Hey love birds forget someone." Ken said smiling "What happened. How'd you defeat Kairi?"
Ryu looks away, "He was stronger than I anticipated. We lost and they escaped with the final piece."
Ken's head lowered than asked,"Where is Sakura?" Looking at the edge of the jungle where they heard a ruslting sound Ken got his answer. Guile walked out holding a bleeding and bandaged, Sakura. Because there weren't enough bandages and the cuts were deep Guiles arms were covered with streams of blood. "What happened?" Ken screamed in fear.
"She had gotten into a fight with someone. Dhalsim told me she was near here and I followed some tracks to where she was. I patched her up best I could but she was cut excessively."
"Who would do this?" Ken yelled.
"It was the masked one." Dhalsim said walking out of the jungle.
"Vega?" Hokuto murmured.
Dhalsim nodded and walked over to Sakura. "Give me the child I will see that she gets the attention she needs.You must stop Shadow Geist for the gate is not far from here but only two day run down the river. Know this the gate was always hidden until now, and evil surrounds it creating fear for the bravest. But you must be strong for If that monster is freed there is no hope for a future."
Everyone stared at Dhalsim realising how important this was. They had lost the first round but this time losing was not an option. Ken walked over and said good bye to Sakura and told Dhalsim she better be well when he gets back for Sakura is like a sister to him. Dhalsim smiles and nods. Dhalsim gave them some healing herbs before the four set up a raft to make their way to what maybe their final battle.
Kairi and company stood in the jungle as they called for Shadow Giest. The three, ever since gaining power from Shadow Giest, had been waiting to free him and gain unlimited power. With all five peices in their possesion no one could stop them now. A dark mist began to flow forming a circle, then fire appeared lacing the mist.
Shadow Geist appeared and demanded, "Do you have all the peices?"
All three bowed in his presnce and Kairi answered, "We have. Though the final piece was well gaurded we refused to fail you and claimed it as ours."
"Good the gate is in a waste land cleared and dark not even the bravest go there for fear consumes them but you will not run for I will protect you and guide you to the gate."
Kairi nodded and listened to the directions that would lead them to ultimate power.
