The Shikahs

Clyde's eyes lingered on Jake's sword. "Hey Jake throw your sword too me!"Clyde said. Jake chuckled.

"Are you sure you want me to do that?"Jake asked. Clyde nodded rapidly. "As you wish,"Jake said tossing it to Clyde.

Clyde collasped instanly. "Uhhhh a little help here...,"Clyde moaned. Justin picked it up off of Clyde, but soon fell a minute after holding it. Danielle sighed.

"Wimps..,"she mumbled and picked it up. She held it for a second with ease, but collasped also. Jake shook his head and picked it up off of Danielle and rested it on his shoulder.

"Geeze you guys need to work out more,"Jake said, laughing.

"How the hell can you lift that thing!"Danielle said, winded.

"Talent,"Jake said, smirking.

"Whatever,"Danielle said, standing up.

"Hey you guys look theres a town we must of missed!"Rain said, pointing.

"Well we better go set a barrier over there huh?"Jake asked, laughing.

"Exactly!"Rain said, running towards the town.

"Rainnnnn waiiiittt!"Jake said running after her. He caught up and tackled her when they had entered the town.

"Jakkkeee,"she groaned. Jake got off her and he stood up then looked around. People started whispering and pointing at Jake's sword. Rain had got up also. "Hey whats wrong?"she asked.

"I have a feeling that something bad is gonna happen,"he replied.

"Well then we should get out of here,"Rain said, grabbing his arm. Jake held his ground still looking around. He saw swords like his in a pile. A little kid came up to him and pulled on his pants. Jake looked down.

"Hey are you a shikah?"the kid asked.

"No,"Jake replied raising his eyebrow.

"Then how can you carry that sword around mister?"the kid asked. Jake froze and had a flashback.

flashback...

"Mommy?"Jake asked. He was about seven years old.

"Yes Jake,"she said, bending over her eyes filled with tears.

"Where are those men taking daddy and why are they mommy?"Jake asked.

"Somewhere far away sweetie and because he's a shikah,"she said, tears running down her face.

"Whats a shikah?"Jake asked.

"You've seen daddys sword right?Well nobody can weild it execept the shikah and shikah are people that have amazing abilities,"she replied.

"Then why are they taking him away mommy?"he asked. She didn't reply and she held him close.

end of flashback..

"Jake, are you ok?"Rain asked.

"I..I'm fine...I think,"Jake replied.

"You sure?"Rain asked uncertainly. Jake nodded then the others arrived.

"Geeze just leave us behind,"Cylde complained.

Rain giggled then said,"Sorry."

"What's with this town I saw a boat with lots of ppl in rags,"Danielle said.

"The people on that ship are those damn shikahs,"some guy said.

"Shikah?"Rain asked.

"You mean to tell me you never heard of them demons?"the guy asked. They all got a puzzled look except Jake he looked pissed.

"What do you mean demons my father was a shikah and he was a kind man!"Jake exclaimed.

"Shikahs kind? my ass!"the guy said. Jake hands bawled up into fists. "If your father was one then your one! Arrest him!"the guy shouted. All these men grabbed Jake.

"HEY LET HIM GO!"Rain said, trying to pull the men off of Jake. One of them pushed her back making her fall to the ground. Jake anger rose and he knocked all the men to the ground.

"We're gonna need back up,"one of them said into his watch.

"Rain, you ok?"Jake asked, helping her up.

"Never better,"she replied. The men we're started grabbing Jake again. Justin jumped in to help Jake followed by Cylde and Danielle. Rain bawled her hands into fists. More men came and pulled Justin, Cylde, and Danielle off then dragged Jake away, his sword left in his wake.

"Jake!"Rain exclaimed running after the men that had Jake. She caught up to them and was about to draw her sword.

"Rain, behind you!"Jake shouted. Rain was about to turn, but was hit over the head with something. She fell to the ground defeated. "You bastards!"Jake shouted outraged. He tryed to break away again, but failed miserbly. They dragged him onto a ship.

"Welcome to your new home,"one of them said. Jake felt a sharp pain in the back of his head before falling over unconshis.

"Rain!"Cylde exclaimed running over to her. "Rain, you ok?Rain!"

She moaned and her eyes opened. "You ok?"Clyde asked, brushing Rain's hair out of her face.

"I'm fine, but Jake..,"Rain said.

"He'll be fine,"Clyde said. Danielle and Justin came over.

"We set up camp on the outskirts of town we left Jake's sword and Carbunce there,"Danielle reported.

"Luckly I knew float or we wouldn't have been able to move it,"Justin said. Danielle rolled her eyes.

"Well now we need to save Jake,"Rain said standing up uneasily.

"Not in this condition your not...sound familer?"Danielle asked. Rain laughed softly then she started to fall over, luckly Clyde caught her. "I'm serious though your're not going after Jake in this condition,"Danielle said.

"I'm fine I'll just cast Cura,"Rain said, lifting up her hand and casting the spell.

"Well then whats the plan then?"Clyde asked.

"One of us has to get arrested for being a shikah,"Justin said.

"But none of us are,"Clyde said.

"Duh..one of us is gonna fake it,"Justin said.

"I'll do it, but how are we gonna do this?"Rain asked. Justin explained and they put their plan into action. Danielle and Rain ran into each other.

"Hey watch it!"Danielle shouted which caught somebodys attention.

"You wanna fight!"Rain said, grabbing the handle of a replica of Jake's sword.

"Help! She's a shikah help!"Danielle exclaimed.

"Your under arrest,"a man said grabbing Rain's hands and putting them behind her back. He started dragging her off. Rain looked back at Danielle and winked. The man dragged her onto the ship and threw her to a group of people. She lost her footing, but the people caught her and set her back up.

"Thank you,"Rain said.

"So they caught you too?"a woman asked.

"Yeah,"Rain said, looking up for some reason.

"Hey have you seen a guy with black spikey hair and beutiful brown eyes?"

"Yes I have he's over there,"the woman said, pointing.

"Thanks again,"Rain said, walking over to him. She tapped him on the shoulder. He spun around putting up his dukes. "Hey,"Rain said, waving. Jake put down his fists, but then picked her up and spun her around. He put her down after a moment then kissed her lightly. After pulling away he rested his forehead against hers.

"What-"Jake started.

"Here to rescue you the others will be here at midnight to get us,"Rain said. Jake turned away. "Hey whats up?"Rain asked, putting her hand on his shoulder. He grasped her hand.

"I can't abandon them..,"Jake said.

"I understand..well then we have to get them out to,"Rain said, then got ontop of something that looked like a stage. "Can I have your attention please!"Rain said. All the shikah looked at her. "You were takin away from your friends and family, never to return to them again. I am Rain, a summoner and one of the chosen ones,"Rain started. They all started whispering to each other. "Yes I am one of the chosen ones. How long have you people been on this boat? For a long time I bet..maybe half of your liftime. Listen to me now is time to fight for your freedom and go back to your loved ones. Isn't that what you want along with your freedom? If so you have to fight for it their not just gonna give it to you so are you with me!"Rain finshed. They all sighed and turned back to what they were doing.

"Their sprits are broken so nothing you do or say will get them to rebel,"a guy from above said, with a wicked laugh then he walked off.

Rain bowed her head then walked back over to Jake. He smiled and said,"You tried."

"But I failed, Jake, how are we supposed to get them out of here if their not even gonna try,"Rain said, sighing.

"We'll find a way,"Jake said, giving her a small hug. She smiled then sat down and started to think of a way too help the Shikah.

"Ok we set to get Jake and Rain?"Danielle asked.

"Yes ma'em,"the two guys said, saulting her.

"Knock it off,"she said, getting annoyed.

"Yes ma'em sorry ma'em,"the two said again.

"KNOCK IT THE HELL OFF OR I'LL BEAT YOUR BRAINS IN!"she shouted. They jumped and got on their hands and knees.

"Sorry Danielle!"they said, bowing to her. She kicked them both so they were now lieing on the ground.

"Idiots,"she said, turning on her heels then walking off.

"Danielle, waiiiittt!"Justin exclaimed, getting up and he and Cylde ran after her.

"Shut up and get out your hoverbourds,"Danielle said, throwing down a capsule then her hoverbourd appered. The two guys did the same and they flew towards the ship. They landed unseen and unheard(luckly) and started their search for Rain and Jake. They found them after a few seconds.

"Hi Rain!"Justin said, greetingly.

"Shhhhh,"Danielle said, putting her finger to her mouth.

"Oh hi guys,"Rain said, sitting up.

"You and Jake ready to go?"Clyde asked.

"No,"Rain said, with a sigh.

"Why not?"Justin asked.

Rain looked at Jake, who was fast asleep. "Because Jake wants to help these people,"Rain replied.

"How?"Danielle asked, putting her hands on her hips.

"I don't know..their sprirts are broken,"Rain said.

"What if we brought their swords too them maybe that'd help,"Justin suggested.

"That might work, but how are you gonna get them here?"Rain asked.

"By casting float of course,"Justin said, with a somewhat of a cocky smirk.

"I doubt you could get that many swords like that,"Rain said.

"Eh we'll think of a way,"Danielle said. "Well until then laters."

"Bye,"Rain said. She watched them run off then laid back down next to Jake.

The next day Rain was helping the elderly while Jake was moving stuff around for the guard people. Rain in the corner of her eye saw a guard beating up a small girl. "Excuse me for a second,"Rain said to the elderly and ran to help the girl. When she made her way over there, the guard was kicking the girl while she was curled up on the ground. Rain tapped on the guard's shoulder. In that instant the guard spun around.

"What the hell do you want?Can't you see I'm busy!"he asked, in rage.

"Tormenting this girl is business?"Rain asked.

"It doesn't concern you Shikah,"the guard replied, as he started to kick the girl again.

"Actually it does concern me,"Rain said. The guard turned again and Rain's fist met his face. His nose was now bleeding.

"You bitch!"he shouted. He went to hit her, but she dodged it gracfully and came back up and kicked him in the face.

"Nice try,"Rain said. The guard laid on the ground motionless then Rain turned to the girl who was now standing up on shaky legs. The girl started to fall and Rain caught her just in time.

"T-thank you,"the girl said, when Rain had put her down. Rain just smiled in response and put her hand on the girl to cast cura. Rain flew back and shirked in pain.

"You can't cast magic here..antimagic field,"the girl said slowly.

"Well this isn't fair,"Rain said, after standing up with her hands on her hips. The girl laughed softly.

"Milly,"the girl said after a second.

"Milly?"Rain asked confused.

"Thats my name,"the girl replied.

"Nice to meet you, Milly, I'm Rain,"Rain said. Milly smiled then grabed her sides in pain. Rain relized she had some items in her pouch. "Here take it,"Rain said, handing Milly a potion. Milly took it and smiled at Rain, then some guy came running up to them.

"Milly!"he said, comeing to her side. "Are you ok, Milly?"

"I'm fine, daddy, thanks to Rain,"Milly said, nodding towards Rain. He looked at Rain and she turned a slight pink.

"I-it was nothing,"Rain said.

"No it was everything...thank you, Rain,"he said, picking up Milly and smileing down at Rain. Rain nodded then the they walked away. She then got up and went back to the elderly. They sat their gapping at her when she came back.

"W-what?"Rain asked.

"Your one brave lady to stand up to a guard like that,"on of the old ladies replied.

"It was nothing,"Rain said, rubbing the back of her head.

"You wish it was nothing,"somebody behind her said. Rain turned, but soon was thrown on the ground. Then she was pulled up roughly then started to get dragged away from the elderly.

"Hey let me go,"Rain said, struggling to get away.

"You must pay for your crimes,"the guard said.

"Crime? Helping a helpless girl is a crime? You have some nerve mister,"Rain said. The guard twisted her arm behind her back in response.

"No you have a nerve for interfering,"he said, pushing her to the ground again. Rain started to stand up, but then was hit over the head with something metallic which made her fall to the ground agian. She touched where she had been hit and she felt something warm. She then looked at her hand which was now bloody. She stood up a little light headed and swung her fist at the man, but he had caught her fist and bent it back. He realised her fist then punched her in the stomach then when she fell to the ground again he started kicking her.

She was able to roll away after a second or two, but then he picked her up by the collor of her shirt and threw her. She fell into some stacked up pile of cardbourd boxes, then he started comeing towards her again. Rain covered her eyes. When she didn't feel anything hit her she opened one eye to see Jake beating the hell out of the dude. When the guy seemed out cold Jake came running over to Rain. He kneeled down next to her and looked at her in concern.

"You alright?"Jake asked, then when he noticed Rain's head he admetly tore some fabric off his shirt and wrapped around her wound.

"Gee and I thought I was your guardian angel,"Rain said, laughing softly.

"Well I guess it goes both ways for us,"Jake said, helping her up.

"I guess so,"Rain said, wrapping her arms around his neck and resting her forehead against his. He wrapped his arms around her waist and just smiled at her.

"Sorry to break this touching moment, but you two are comeing with us,"some guys said. Jake turned to face them. He put his arms out like he was being a human shield for Rain. They all snickered with their guns pointing at Rain and Jake.

'Aww man I wish the others were here,'Rain thought. Suddenly somebody landed in front of them who turned out to be Justin.

"Hey all miss me,"Justin said, with a smirk.

"Justin!"Rain exclaimed, happy to see him.

"Save it for later, Rain,"Justin said, waving his hand. Justin took out two handguns and pointed at the guards. They all laughed, but soon stopped when flood was casted on them from above.

"Ha-ha losers!"they heard Clyde yelled from above on an airship. The Shikah had gathered to see what was going on.

"Heads up!"Danielle exclaimed through a intercom. A whole bunch of swords like Jake's fell onto the ship. The shikah got wide eyed then Clyde had come down and handed Jake his sword and Rain her staff-sword.

"Jake, talk to them your one of them so maybe you can get them to fight back,"Rain whispered.

"I'm not much of a speacker,"Jake whispered back.

"Fine whatever,"Rain said then, walking forward to where the swords were. The guards started snikering. "Fellow Shikahs, here me nows your chance to fight back and go home. Whose with me!"Rain asked. They Shikah sighed and bowed their heads.

"All your attempts have failed girl so why don't you give up?"one of the guards said. Rain bowed her head and sighed. She felt a gun against her head. Rain closed her eyes again and prayed softly. She felt somebody help her up and she opened her eyes to see Milly's father.

"Thank you,"Rain said, with a smile. He smiled back then he started to slash away at the guards with his sword. Rain joined in the fight along with Jake and them. The other Shikah came to help soon enough and then their was a huge battle between them all.

"Rain, if you wouldn't mind would you go find my daughter?"Milly's father asked, as he was fighting back a guard who was now wielding a sword.

"Yeah sure,"Rain said, fleeing the battle. It was hard getting to the other side of the boat with all the fighting, but eventually Rain got there and started looking around for Milly. "Milly!"Rain called out.

"Looking for someone,"a guard said, walking out with Milly at hand.

"Let her go!"Rain shouted, drawing her sword again.

"Temper temper..I'll let her go if you stop this rebellion,"the guard said. The guard didn't look real smart and Rain smirked.

"Ok I'll stop it but first give back Milly,"Rain said, puting away her sword. The guard pushed Milly towards Rain. "Milly, go over where those boxes are for alittle bit,"Rain whispered. Milly nodded and ran off. "Well sorry buddy, but I wasn't serious about stopping the rebellion,"Rain said, sticking her tongue out.

"Arggg not again!"the guard said and started comeing at her with a dagger. Rain drew her sword and deflected his attack and then kicked him in the balls then when he was down covering his manhood, she jumped up and kicked him in the face thus knocking him to the ground. She started walking away when he grabbed her ankle making her fall to the ground too.

"Its not over you little wench,"he said, standing up. Rain jumped up then picked up her sword.

"Well if its a fight you want then a fight is what your gonna get,"Rain said, charging towards him. He deflected her attack then kicked her making her lose her balance for a moment, but she still stood. He came after her with his daggers cutting her pretty badly when he got the chance. He then grabbed her by the collor of her shirt and bringing up his dagger.

"Well good night you little pest,"he said.

"Wow that was way lame of you I would be laughing, but you have the dagger so yeah,"Rain said.

meanwhile...

Jake and the other Shikah were still fighting the guards.

"That Rain girl is like wow. Too bad she is about to meet her maker,"the guard that Jake was fighting said. Jake mouth opened a little then he pushed the guard back and ran to the other side of the ship. Rain was lieing on the ground a pool of blood around her.

"Rain,"Jake said, walking towards her. He noticed the guards body now with a pool of blood around him too. Jake eyes filled with tears as he kneeled down next to Rain. He held her in his arms and started shaking his head.

"Man I need a shower,"Rain mumbled.

"Rain! Your ok!"Jake exclaimed and hugged her tightly.

"Easy Jake,"Rain groaned. "I may be ok but doesn't mean I don't hurt."

Jake just laughed and held her gently now. Milly now was over by them.

"Hi,"she said, cheerfully. Their was aloud uproaring and many splashs in the water and soon enough the other Shikah were now where they were.

"We're free finally free!"they cheered. Rain nodded and smiled.

"Now you can all go back home to your families,"Rain said, standing up and taking Milly's hand. Rain walked her to her father. Rain smiled again and went back over to Jake.

"God would you guys hurry up I don't have this ship for very long I rented it!"Danielle exclaimed through the intercom, then an another rope ladder came down.

"Well good luck everybody,"Jake said.

"To you too Chosen ones,"they all said with a smile. Jake mouth dropped but then smiled. Rain was the first to go up the ladder followed by Justin and Clyde.

"Goodbye,"Jake said, bowing then climbing up the ladder.

They were now staying at a hotel which they got for free cause they saw how beat up everyone was. Jake was standing on a balcony just gazing at the night sky.

"Hey you ok?"Rain asked, when she came out to check up on him. He looked at her and nodded. She was wearing a white robe and the breeze was playing with her hair. "Good,"Rain said smiling. She then came by his side and place her hand on his. "Beutiful night isn't it?"she said, pushing her hair out of her face.

"Sure is,"Jake said, smiling at Rain. He noticed some tears fall down her face. "Hey whats wrong?"Jake asked, placing his hands on her shoulders.

"I just wish we were in our own time so we could of done this for your father,"Rain said. Jake bowed his head then smiled gently at her.

"Don't be troubled by my problems Rain..don't feel sorry for me when I say this my dad's dead he died when I was sixteen,"Jake said.

"Jake, I'm soo sorry how'd you find out?"Rain asked.

"I went to see him and they told me,"Jake said, sighing. Rain wrapped her arms around his waist.

"I'm so sorry,"Rain said. Jake wrapped his arms around her now.

"I told you not to feel sorry for me,"Jake said.

"Hehehe sorry,"Rain said. Jake shook his head.

"I'm just glad their free now,"Jake said, resting his head on hers.

"Me too,"Rain said. He chuckled and they headed back inside to go to bed.
