Hey, everyone! Here is the eighth chapter to Saint Seiya Omega: Exceed. Having rendezvous in Sharjah, Sachi begins to do of the unthinkable in using her black lamp by unleashing a powerful ray of evil and putting her and Ryuho's lives on the line. Hope you enjoyed it.
Chapter 8: Gamble or Death! A Shocking Risk!
On their way towards Dubai, Ryuho and Sachi had made a pit-stop within the closest territory, Sharjah.
Sachi began to look towards the sign, revealing the name in the process.
"Sharjah?" Sachi asked.
Sachi turned to Ryuho.
"I can tell that we're not behind on getting to Dubai, Ryuho-kun." Sachi commented.
Ryuho nodded his head in agreement.
"You're right, Sachi-san. We should at the very least, advanced through here first." Ryuho explained.
Sachi nodded her head.
Therefore, Ryuho and Sachi began to advance through the Burroughs of Sharjah.
Sachi began to slowly gaze into her mysterious lamp.
Sachi, on the other hand, became rather tempted on what she might do with the lamp.
Ryuho immediately looked on as he was worried about Sachi.
Ryuho and Sachi then sat within a bench by the market.
"The weather is really amazing. Especially when there is about 150 hours left before chaos emerges." Sachi commented.
Ryuho began to put his attention onto Sachi.
"Sachi-san." Ryuho said.
Sachi began to slightly blush once Ryuho had called her name.
"Yes, Ryuho-kun?" Sachi asked, blushing.
Ryuho began to slightly blush.
"You know when I said that if there was anything that was bothering you, you could count on me to give support if needed?" Ryuho asked.
Sachi remembered that promise too well.
"For sure I haven't forgotten about that oath yet, Ryuho-kun." Sachi replied.
Ryuho immediately smiled once Sachi hadn't forgotten one bit.
"Is there anything wrong, Sachi-san?" Ryuho asked.
Sachi began to tremble, but smile regardless.
"Everything is alright with me, Ryuho-kun. I can assure you of that." Sachi replied.
Sachi began to sheepishly grinned, knowing that she may had just lied to Ryuho.
Ryuho smiled regardless.
"I'm going to get us some juice." Ryuho commented.
Sachi nodded her head.
"Please do. I feel the need for some orange juice." Sachi said.
Ryuho then left Sachi's side to get the both of them some orange juice.
Once Ryuho had left, Sachi took out her lamp from her hoodie pocket.
"Alright. Time to make a bit of miracles happen." Sachi commented.
Sachi began to check if the coast is clear.
Ryuho was secretly observing Sachi from a nearby basket, with the two bottles of orange juice in his hand.
"Sachi-san…Please reconsidered of the whole thing through." Ryuho thought.
Sachi then made up her mind as she began to rub onto the black lamp.
"Rub. Rub with my life on the line." Sachi said, rubbing into the lamp.
Then, smoke began to arise as it takes the form of a Shaytaan, which shocked Sachi.
Ryuho became rather shocked as well.
"So, little girl. What brought you to release me from my lamp?" Maazra asked.
Sachi began to cough onto her throat.
"The reason is I am in a bit of a pinch actually." Sachi replied.
Ryuho continued to look on.
Sachi became rather firm.
"I want to bring back my dead mother and little brother." Sachi confirmed.
Ryuho became surprised on what Sachi's wish was.
"There could be a price to that." Maazra explained.
Sachi became curious.
"And that is?" Sachi asked.
Maazra then pointed to Ryuho's location as he had scented him.
"If you kill that weak boy first." Maazra replied.
Sachi became rather shocked on what Maazra wanted from her.
"K-kill Ryuho-kun...?" Sachi asked.
Maazra then nodded his head.
"Do it and you'll get back your fallen family." Maazra replied.
Sachi immediately knew that killing one of her friends, especially the most closest to her would not bring her family back from the dead at all.
"If you think that killing my friend will bring back my family, you sure are wrong." Sachi commented.
Sachi had made up her mind as Ryuho looked on with outstanding admiration.
"Sachi-san…" Ryuho thought.
Sachi began to glare at Maazra with a serious death glare.
"Ryuho-kun did try to warn me about this lamp's power. I won't do it. I won't kill Ryuho-kun. I am not stupid enough to go through with it. So consider your offer terminated by yours truly." Sachi explained.
Maazra then gritted, knowing that Sachi had just refused his offer.
"You sure are the stubborn type. I guess that is one of your greatest traits as well as having a great sense of humor." Maazra commented.
Maazra became deadly.
"If you won't do it, then I will." Maazra confirmed.
Sachi then became rather shocked.
Ryuho then came out of his hiding spot.
"Sachi-san!" Ryuho hollered.
Sachi then turned to Ryuho.
"No! Stay back, Ryuho-kun!" Sachi hollered.
However, it was too late.
Maazra had already begun the process in taking control of Sachi's body.
A shock wave began to blow Ryuho away as a result.
Sachi collapsed afterwards.
Ryuho then ran up to Sachi.
"Sachi-san!" Ryuho hollered.
Ryuho began to feel Sachi's pulse.
"Are you alright, Sachi-san?" Ryuho asked.
An evil chuckle began to emerge afterwards.
"Sachi-san?" Ryuho asked.
Sachi began to push Ryuho from her grasp.
"You sure are naïve for a weak boy." Maazra said, speaking through Sachi.
Ryuho began to realize of the outcome.
The controlled Sachi began to snicker as she gazed at her Constellation Bracelet.
"Let's see on what this puppy can do." Maazra said, speaking through Sachi.
Sachi's Apus Constellation Bracelet began to blink rapidly.
Several images of the Apus have appeared beneath Sachi's presence.
Sachi began to heavily grin as she arose her hand.
"It's Showtime, Apus!" The controlled Sachi hollered.
A surge has resonated as Sachi and the Apus became one with one another.
-Engage! Constellation Overdrive! – The background voice hollered.
Sachi immediately donned her new Cloth.
Sachi began to feel the flow with her graceful movements.
The controlled Sachi was ready for battle.
- Ready: Bronze Saint- Apus! – The background voice hollered.
The controlled Sachi began to mercifully attacked Ryuho.
Ryuho began to dodge Sachi's movements with ease.
"Sachi-san! If you could hear me, break free, Sachi-san!" Ryuho hollered.
The controlled Sachi began to snicker.
"Your friend is long gone. She can't hear you." Maazra said, speaking through Sachi.
The controlled Sachi then attack Ryuho once more.
"Then, I'll find a way to bring her back." Ryuho commented.
Ryuho's Dragon Constellation Bracelet began to blink rapidly.
Images of the Dragon began to appear beneath Ryuho's presence.
Ryuho then arose his hand.
"Let's fight together, Dragon!" Ryuho hollered.
A surge has resonated as Ryuho and the Dragon became one with one another.
-Engage! Constellation Overdrive! – The background voice hollered.
Ryuho immediately donned his new Cloth.
Ryuho began to do some movements within the ancient art of Rozan.
Ryuho was ready for battle.
-Ready: Bronze Saint – Dragon! – The background voice hollered.
Ryuho became rather amazed with his new Cloth.
"Incredible." Ryuho commented.
Ryuho then sensed the upcoming assault of the controlled Sachi as he was one step ahead of her.
Ryuho began to generate many spheres to strike at the controlled Sachi.
"This is the power of the Mystic Cloth?" Ryuho asked.
The controlled Sachi began to smirk.
"Lucky shot." Maazra commented, speaking through Sachi.
The controlled Sachi began to charge at Ryuho once more.
However, a flash had appeared. Hitting the controlled Sachi in the process.
It was Integra, entering the battlefield.
Ryuho was quite surprised to see Integra.
"I-Integra-san?" Ryuho asked.
Integra then smiled at Ryuho.
"It's great to see you, Ryuho." Integra replied.
Integra became rather still.
"It looks like Sachi-chan is in a tight pinch." Integra commented.
Ryuho nodded in agreement.
"I think you should give her a little splash. If you know what I mean." Integra explained.
Ryuho immediately caught on what Integra was referring to.
Ryuho then summoned a wave barrier to pauperize the controlled Sachi.
Ryuho immediately felt bad about hurting Sachi like that.
"The Sachi-san I know wouldn't give up so easily until the very end. She will always find a way to strike back with strong optimism and courage." Ryuho explained.
The controlled Sachi began to snicker.
"Well, you should know that this is the end for you." Maazra said, speaking through Sachi.
Maazra began to use Sachi's right arm to attack. Until he was stopped in his own tracks.
"What?" Maazra asked.
Ryuho and Integra began to realize it.
"Sachi-san." Ryuho said.
Maazra couldn't seize control of Sachi.
"Your art of puppetry is over." Sachi's voice commented, speaking through Maazra.
In a deep conscience void, Maazra found himself face-to-face with the real Sachi.
"You miscalculated by the way." Sachi commented.
Maazra became rather curious.
"Even though I had lost my biological family; I managed to found a new one with the friends that I hold dear to my heart a year ago." Sachi explained.
Sachi began to smile to herself.
"In retrospect, I had gained four older brothers. As well as two older sisters. I even gained a younger sister. But most of all, the best friend that a girl could asked for." Sachi commented.
Sachi felt really grateful of meeting her friends, who she immediately saw as her new family.
"Sachi. You had grown up to be the one who inspires others. I am really proud of you." Sachi's mother said.
Sachi briefly saw her dead mother and brother.
"Sis, you're really amazing." Gavin said.
Sachi then emerged into tears.
"Mom. Gavin." Sachi said.
Sachi's family then vanished.
Sachi then emerged with strong confidence as she began to awaking her Seventh Sense.
"You should know this, if you messed with my family; you'll be answering to me." Sachi warned.
Sachi began to concentrate on her Cosmo.
"Ascend, my Cosmo!" Sachi hollered.
Sachi then leaped into the air.
- Apus Rising Heavenly Strike! – Sachi hollered.
Sachi began to used her newly surfaced technique as well as the extraordinary power of the Apus to give Maazra a heavily punch full of energy of strength.
Maazra immediately felt though Sachi's immense courage.
Sachi had regained full control of her body.
"Sachi-san. Are you okay? Are you the real you?" Ryuho asked.
Sachi nodded her head.
"But to make sure…" Sachi replied.
Sachi then smashed the black lamp into many pieces.
"That will make sure he won't come back." Sachi declared.
Ryuho and Sachi immediately smiled at each other.
Afterwards, Ryuho and Sachi had some alone time together.
"Ryuho-kun, I am so sorry about all of this. If I had just told you on what were my intentions to do with the lamp, none of this wouldn't happen." Sachi commented.
Ryuho just smiled at Sachi.
"You are not to blame, Sachi-san. Accidents tend to happen sometimes." Ryuho said.
Sachi began to blush.
"Yeah. They do." Sachi commented.
Ryuho began to slightly blush.
"Hey, Sachi-san..." Ryuho said.
Sachi knew on what Ryuho was going to say.
"I know, I know. That was really stupid and reckless of me. I had let my curiosity got the worst in me by putting you in harm's way..." Sachi said.
In hindsight, Ryuho was going to say the very opposite.
"Actually, I was going to say that we never did talk about that that amazing kiss that we had after Venus' defeat, have we?" Ryuho asked.
Sachi began to blush in major embarrassment.
"I mean, did you want to initiate? It was crazy of me to do what I..." Sachi commented.
Then, Ryuho silenced Sachi by giving her a kiss of his own.
Sachi was caught in surprised mode by Ryuho's sudden movement. Regardless, she simply decided to go with the flow.
Ryuho and Sachi gracefully smiled at one another, knowing right away that had never felt this way about anyone before.
"Try not to be less reckless and more straightforward like you have always been, Sachi-san." Ryuho said.
Sachi immediately smiled to that.
"Ditto to you too, Ryuho-kun. And always stay you." Sachi commented.
Ryuho and Sachi then turned to Integra.
"How did you know we were here, Integra-san?" Ryuho asked.
Sachi agreed with Ryuho's question.
"Yeah, how did you, Integra-san?" Sachi asked.
Integra began to smile.
"Saori-san rendezvous the locations of where you and your friends were at. I guess that explains Sonia immediately knew where Souma and Emma-chan had gone off to. Saori-san also mentioned that we must be on guard when it comes to facing the forces of Al-Quam." Integra replied.
There was a flashback of Saori talking to her many Saints on what they're about to go up against with.
"We have to be on guard no matter what of the cost. Kouga and Aria's lives are at stake." Saori explained, in a flashback.
Ryuho and Sachi began to become worried for their friends.
"Kouga-kun..." Ryuho said.
"Aria." Sachi said.
Integra then though of something.
"The quickest way to Dubai is by walking." Integra explained.
Ryuho and Sachi nodded their heads at one another.
"I'll catch up with you guys." Integra commented.
Ryuho and Sachi had immediately taken Integra's words to heart.
"Thank you again, Integra-san!" Sachi hollered.
Ryuho put his hand on Sachi's shoulder.
"Let's go, Sachi-san." Ryuho said.
Sachi began to sharply grin.
"Right, Ryuho-kun!" Sachi hollered.
Therefore, Ryuho and Sachi then took their leave in heading towards Dubai next.
Integra then looked upon the clouds.
"We have to be on our guard, alright. We, as Saints, should know that we can't go around careless about the situation at hand." Integra thought.
The flows of reckoning began to appear before itself.
