Disclaimer: I own nothing but the story, my OC, and the Demon Within Saga. Thank you.
Crimson eyes fluttered open, everything in a blur. Kairi could tell that she was in chains, her arms hung up over her head. The lower part of her body was slumped on the cold stone floor, her clothing torn. Strange chattering was heard from up the stairs of the dungeon as two demons entered, carrying a bowl of a foul smelling liquid and another bowl of sour oatmeal.
"Enjoy your meal, worm," the first demon hissed, the two of them setting the bowls in front of her. Then, sneering, they left, slamming the door behind them. She looked down at the horrible food, and pushed it away with her foot. Tears began to fall down her cheeks as she struggled to break the chains. She closed her eyes, knowing that she had failed herself. Lowering her head, she was just about to give up hope when the door opened again. This time, it was Haku, slowly making his way down the steps. He stood by her, watching her lift her head up to him.
"You okay?" he asked her, holding up a silver key. A smile spread across her face as he released the locks of the chains. She rubbed her wrists, which were now red.
"Why are you here, Haku?" she inquired, but he didn't answer. Taking her by her right hand, which was now burning in pain from the cross, he led her up the stairs, thousands of demons staring them down in rage.
"THE PRISONER HAS ESCAPED!" one of them yelled, but Kairi delivered a karate kick, knocking off its head to the floor. The demons formed a circle around Kairi and Haku, crimson eyes delivering painful blows to Kairi's right hand. She grasped her hand in pain, groaning. The demons laughed at this, but Kairi recomposed herself, and pushed herself up. Noticing a pillar in the middle of the room, she leapt forward, the demons following. Gripping the pillar, she began to kick and flail in the air, seeming to run on the demon's faces. (Think like in The Matrix, the fight between Neo and the Smith clones) She leapt off the pillar, unsheathing her sword. Haku transformed into his dragon form, and they both went in different directions. Haku bit, swept his tail, and fired multiple blasts from his mouth, destroying a hundred demons. Kairi kicked, slashed with her sword, and even leapt up into the air, delivering multiple kicks to the demons around her, killing 200. Haku and Kairi then formed a team attack, killing off the rest. The dragon nodded, allowing Kairi to get on his back. He took her up to the roof, rain pouring down upon them.
"That's enough, Haku!" a voice roared in anger from the other side of the roof. The lightning illuminated the speaker, and Kairi's eyes narrowed.
"Sephiroth…" she muttered bitterly, wiping sword off with her tattered clothing.
What will happen to Kairi as she faces off against her brother? What about the other Protectors? Will they make it in time? Find out in chapter six!
