The Devil's Knighthood Chapter 23 Mysterious Power and New Love

' I wonder why I'm having all these flashbacks.' Thought Zane. ' Even among mages such things aren't normal.'

" It's a good thing You're so good at Illusions, Chimeran. If Zane realized what was happening, our whole project would fail." Said Amy.

" Thank you so much, I'm glad my powers could be used for such a noble cause." Said Chimeran. Tom was glaring at him.

" We still need the new couple to travel down Memory Lane a few more times, so the Master Illusionist will get back to work." Chimeran said. His eyes began glowing green.

Zane was training when he saw himself again, only older. About 13-15 years old( In the present he's 17) Young Zane tried to help a friend who had fallen but then the overseers saw them and started cracking red whips. They brought the whips up ready to strike when the two slaves were covered by a golden aura.

" Didn't anyone tell you to be nice?" said voice. The overseers turned to see a young man about five years older then Zane. He had golden brown hair and blue eyes. He wore amber and russet adventure clothes and hand a sword sheath on his back.

" You look like you'd be a good slave. The Master will be pleased." They said and charged. The stranger just stood there. The whips hit an electrical barrier and burned up. They both dropped the burning whips and punched, the stranger caught the punches. He began smirking as he sent electrical currents through their fists. They screamed before passing out. Another one was coming up behind him, this one bearing a sword. He was about to cut down the stranger when his face became contorted with pain and Young Zane saw the Overseer was cut in half through the stomach, but Young Zane hadn't seen the stranger move.

" What happened?" Young Zane asked. The Stranger showed Young Zane his sword, there was fresh blood on it. Young Zane's moth fell open, he'd never seen someone so powerful.

" You're worried about your friend aren't you?" the Stranger asked. Young Zane nodded Dumbly. " She's in that abuser's room." Young Zane's eyes widened and he ran toward were HIS room was.

' What's wrong with me? I remember most of this now, but I can't remember what happened next. ARG! it's just a blur.' Zane thought. ' But I could never forget that warrior, ever since then I've wanted to be that powerful.'

With the Nakudoes

Amy Shuddered.

" What's wrong?" Tom asked.

" May's next memory, it was in pieces when I picked out of her mind. I knew it was important, so I've trying to repair it. I just realized what it was."

" And? What is it?" Asked Chimeran.

" It's...It's...." Amy couldn't seem to get it out.

" Maybe it would be easier if you just thought it to me." Said Tom. Placing a hand on her shoulder. Amy nodded.

" Wait, why not send it to me?" asked Chimeran.

" Me and Tom have been friends for a long time, I have a much easier time transmitting to him." Said Amy. Tom smiled, it became a smirk as he looked at Chimeran. Amy closed her eyes and in a few moments Tom was on his knees, panting.

" What's wrong with you?' Chimeran asked.

" There(pant) was a lot of(pant) powerful emotion in that(pant) memory, most of(pant) it was negative." Said Tom. When he caught his breath he whispered to Chimeran. The Illusionist's eyes widened.

" I'd rather not make an illusion of that." He said.

" I know what you mean. But we have to for the sake of the project." Said Tom. Amy nodded.

" Alright." Said Chimeran.

With May

May was tending to her garden, when it began shifting and looked like storage shed. She saw a young teen version of herself moving pieces of equipment when the door flew open and some overseers walked in.

" The Master wants to see you." One of them said. young May remembered that these same overseers had said that to other girls her age. When they came back, they were different. These girls seemed very sad and even more paranoid. Some of them even committed suicide. She had heard from the older kids what HE did to them. Got the whole explanation. She grabbed a piece of wood and tired to fight her way out, but she was overmatched and out numbered. They tied her hands behind her back and marched her to Master's room. She started screaming so they gagged her. Around this time Zane met that stranger, and ran faster. He was surprised when he found no guards and the door unlocked. When he looked inside he found his friend tied to a bed, and HE was ripping off his friend's rag-like clothing. Zane had also heard what the older kids said about the master. His blood began boiling and then......darkness. Everything went dark.

With the Nakudoes

"Why'd you stop?" asked Tom.

" I couldn't get a clear memory to rely to Chimeran. It's like he blacked out." Said Amy. " But May remembered. " She involuntarily shivered.

Back to the Flashback

Young May was struggling as hard as she could, but the master with his magic was stronger. Then she saw Young Zane enter. A blue aura began to surround and his eyes glowed light blue. HE snorted.

" Are you challenging me again?" HE asked. Young Zane answered by raising his left hand and a stream of water came gushing forth. HE put a magic shield butt it was soon crushed under the pressure of the water. HE was using all his magical power to stay alive, but Zane didn't break a sweat, in fact the water got stronger. May saw that his skin was being replaced by shiny blue, dragon like scales.

' Were is all this power coming from?! It can't be that kid! He had bearly any magic at all!' HE thought. His body was being crushed by the force of Young Zane's attack. Young Zane was oblivious, the only thing in his mind was purge the world of this filth.

" Hmpf!" May's muffled scream brought him back to reality, as soon as he did, his scales and aura disappeared. His attack head been filling up the room with water, and now May was in danger of drowning. He ceased his attack immediately and untied his friend and removed the gag. Both them then ran out, leaving HIS crushed and lifeless body behind. The commotion they caused attracted HIS underlings but by the time they arrived, the two had fled. They had no trouble escaping. The two of them ran until their legs could no longer run and they collapsed. When they had caught their breath, Zane spoke up.

" Are you ok?" He asked. May was still shaken up, but put a smile on her face.

" I am, thanks." Then she hugged him. but then she started shaking. " But what are we going to do now?" She asked.

" I heard some people talking about the Magic Guild of Vane. Let's go there." Said Zane.

" Ok!" said May.

In another part of Vane

" Hard at work, Nakudoes?" Asked Lemina. The three turned.

" Hi Lady Lemina." they said.

" Who is it this time?" Lemina asked.

" Zane and May." Said Amy.

" Good luck." Said Lemina. Then arms slipped around her waist from behind.

" Excuse us Nakudoes, we something important to do, don't we milady?" Aaron said smiling. Lemina giggled.

" Yes we do." She said. then Giggled some more as Aaron kissed her neck. The two preimers walked away.

" That reminds me, have Ryan and Mia told each other yet?" Tom asked.

" Yes, they have. They've kissed a few times too." Said Amy.

" How do you know?" Chimeran asked. Tom and Amy gave him a look.

" I have eyes and ears everywhere." said Amy.

" It comes in handy for our projects. But it gets annoying that I can never hide anything form her." Said Tom. Amy giggled. Chimeran went back to work.

May was just starting to calm down when the area around her changed again. A young version of herself and Zane were walking into Vane for the first time.

" Zane.... We're here! We're really here!" Said young May, she was smiling ear to ear. Zane was just as happy. They both ran into the city but then were stopped by a pair of official looking, old people. They both had grey hair and long beards.

" You street urchins, what are you doing in our city?" He asked in a condescending tone.

" We came to live here." said May.

" You have any money for a home?"

" No."

" I suppose you could stay if you have magic power." They each took one of the kids and ran a series of tests.

" May! We can stay! I passed!" said Zane. " May?" He couldn't see her anywhere. He walked toward the entrance and saw the other official forcing her out.

" You are not welcomed here!" He said.

" What are you doing?!" Young Zane demanded.

" This wrench has failed every test. She does not deserve to live in the Legendary city of Mages." Said the Official. Young Zane walked over to Young May.

" Let's go." He said.

" But Zane, you've been talking non-stop about joining the Magic Guild. It's was your dream." Said Young May.

" I won't stay here if you can't, You are more important to me then any dream or goal." Said Young Zane. Young May blushed crimson.

" Wait a minute!" Called a voice. The two turned around and saw Lemina and Aaron.

" I heard you had great magical power. Why are you leaving?" Lemina asked.

" They said May couldn't stay here because she didn't have magic power." Said Young Zane.

" WHAT?! That rule was discontinued as soon as I became Premier. Who told you this?" Lemina asked. Young Zane pointed to the Officials.

" Those two again." Said Aaron. " Can I do it this time?" He asked.

" Be my guest." Said Lemina. Aaron walked over to the officials and gave them an earful about treating people with natural magic talent and buried talent equal, and how some traditions had changed. They got so mad, they changed their guild robes to traveling ones and left. Aaron then turned back to Young Zane and Young May.

" You two are welcomed to stay in Vane for as long as you want." He said. Young Zane and Young May got their robes and weapons, positively beaming.

" That's so sweet." Said Amy. " That should be it. Now be just need to give them a little extra push and they will confess." Suddenly Chimeran's sphere grew a dark border, and a new image appeared. It showed Young Zane during class.

" What's going on?" Amy asked.

" I don't know. I didn't do this." Said Chimeran.

In Flashback

" You're Zane right?" asked an energetic voice asked. Zane turned around to see an angelic face and golden locks.

" Yyyes." He said, slightly blushing.

" I'm Mia Asua, The Junior Premier. I'm supposed to check on new guild members." She said. " So how are you doing?"

" Ffine." Young Zane said.

" Great." Said Mia, she smiled at him before leaving. Young May walked up to him.

" She's seems nice." Said Young May.

" Yeah." said Young Zane, still blushing.

" Zane? You are going to come with me after school right?" Young May asked.

" Yeah." The scene fast forward to what seemed to be several weeks.

" Zane! You blew me off again! I was waiting in training Room for an hour!" Said an Angry young May.

" Sorry, May. I had to work on getting up to Headboy." Said Young Zane.

" But you promised you'd be there!" Said Young May, she was getting misty eyed.

" But this is a very important goal to me. it just came up." Said Young Zane.

" Why do you want to be Headboy anyway?" asked Young May.

" For the honor."

" Yeah right! You just want to impress Mia! Don't you?!" Young Zane started blushing.

" So what if I am? As my best friend I thought you'd be more supportive!"

" A best friend wouldn't blew me off so much!"

Outside Flashback

" Chimeran! What are you doing?!" Tom demanded. Chimeran looked panicky.

" I haven't done anything! Someone must have hacked into my spell!" Said Chimeran.

" Just close it!" Amy shouted.

" I'm trying!" Chimeran shouted back.

Inside Flashback

" Zane I don' t like arguing with you. I just wish you'd tell me when you can't meet me." Said young May.

" I'm sorry about that, could you forgive me?' Young Zane asked.

" Sure." Said Young May, young Zane gave her a quick hug before leaving.

Outside Flashback

" I guess it wasn't too bad." Said Tom.

" Don't look now, but it's getting worse." Said Chimeran. The Sphere was getting darker.

Inside Flashback

Young May was in her room when a voice spoke to her.

" Zane doesn't care about you. He pitied you because you were weak! But now he has someone else to crush on."

" No you're wrong!" Said Young May.

" As soon as you were accepted in Vane, he abandoned you. He hardly notices you anymore."

" You're wrong!"

" You know I'm right. Deep down you know I speak the truce." Said the voice. The voice keep echoing in her head. She clutched her head in both of her hands to try and block it out.

Outside Flashback

Chimeran still couldn't shut down the sphere. Amy brought out a large war hammer.

" Let me!" She brought her hammer down on the sphere.

" Don't!" Chimeran shouted, but Amy already smashed the sphere. Chimeran shook violently before fainting.

" Is he ok?" Amy asked.

" He's fine he only fainted, we need to check on May!" Said Tom.

With May

When the sphere was broken, May was released from the illusion. The words were still echoing in her head.

" It's true." She said softly. " It really is true." She created a beam of electricity and held it in her hand.

" I'm just a burden on him." The beam began to take shape.

With the Nakudoes

Amy and Tom were running to were they sensed May's magic. On the way they saw Zane.

"Come with us! NOW!" They both shouted. Zane shrugged and followed. When they reached the garden they saw May holding an electrical dagger.

" May!" Said Zane. May smiled sadly.

" Bye." She said. Zane quickly formed a ball of water and threw it, shorting out the dagger. Then he quickly gathered her in his arms. One arm wrapped tightly around her waist, pinning her arms down, with the second curled around her head, pressing it to him.

" Zane! Let me go!" Said May as she struggled against Zane's arms. He only held her tighter.

" Why are you doing?" He demanded.

" I'm just a burden!" She said.

" No! You're not!" Said Zane. " You're very important to me."

" You're just saying that!"

" No! I mean it. I'm really sorry for ignoring you." There was a pause. " After we got to Vane, I was so excited about everything. It was so different from anything we'd known. I took you for granted and I hope you can forgive me." May stopped struggling so hard.

" But you love Mia, even though she's already taken."

" I had a crush on Mia. Everyone was saying how great I was at magic, I let it go to my head."

" You ARE in love my Mia! I know you are!"

" May..."

" No! I wouldn't listen!" Zane bent down and softly kissed her, making sure she couldn't pull back. May struggled at first.......... but then stopped............then she began to softly kiss back. Having Electrical magic could allow the mage to read minds, since thoughts are just electrical charges, Although May hadn't learned much about that field of magic, through his kiss, May could read his emotions and knew he wasn't lying. Eventually the kiss broke.

" I love you too Zane." Said May before kissing him again. Zane smiled and kissed back.

The Nakudoes had been watching the whole scene.

" Mission accomplished." They both said.

I've been working on that idea for a while and I hope it was good. Please Review. BTW, Fans of Zelda should read my Friend Talonclawfange's fics. They're very good. Some of the best Zelda fics I've read.
