D.H. A.N.: I hope you all are ready for another Chapter. Thanks to all the reviewers I have. Here's Chapter Four: Fate's Forces. Enjoy, and please review.
Chapter Four: Fate's Forces
Seto Kaiba opened his eyes, wondering where in the Dimension he had wound up. A second thought crossed his mind about where the younger Wheeler had ended up. Seto blinked, trying to tell himself that his mind was playing tricks on him. He had been here before. Thus, he held doubts about whether he was in the Dimension or in his own memories.
The playground of the orphanage where he had spent his childhood was staring the doubtful brunette in the face. No! This can't be! Is the program able to put people where they will be most affected?
Seto Kaiba strolled almost literally down memory lane, wondering whether anyone else was there. As fate would have it, an answer to his question showed itself. His eyes caught a boy sitting on the bench farther down the playground. Kaiba had seen the boy before. His green hair made Kaiba think of Noah, only when the boy opened his eyes and grinned at Kaiba that Seto knew it was Noah. "Hello Seto!" "Noah?" Seto was caught off guard, but couldn't disguise his disdain for the boy who almost made him and Mokuba permanent statues in the virtual world that they got stuck in before the finals. Seto would just have to wait to know what Noah was doing here.
Memories were not only coming back to Seto Kaiba, but to Mheralo Ishtar as well. Being forced to wait for what she knew would not be a pleasant experience was not new to her. The memory flashed through her mind. She was in the warehouse, bound and waiting for something to happen. She chose not to think any farther than that. Hopefully she and Rione would be able to escape before things brought her to being hung above any body of water like last time. She had been brought here without her knowledge, unlike the time before, where she had let herself get caught.
Mhera racked her brain, originally seeking an escape plan, but she found instead proof that it wasn't Rione's and her Powers weren't the Powers the requirements spoke of.
"Two Powers, rivals it seems, but from their union, life itself teems. Locked in an everlasting feud, they are. But what matters most, lies at the heart."
"Rione, I think I may have figured out one thing." Mhera whispered. "What?" Rione inquired, as Mhera's comment had intrigued him.
"Well, darkness and light aren't the Powers needed to complete the requirements." Mhera stated simply. "What makes you say that?" Rione asked, attention now focused on his companion.
"Think about this. During certain times of the year, there is more night than day and vice versa. Only on the two equinoxes, are the amounts equal. Yes, light and darkness are locked in an everlasting feud, but these powers always shift balance, rather than attaining it. As to what powers the requirements speak of, I have no idea." Mhera was glum. It always seemed that when one question was answered, a thousand more took its place.
"So how do you propose we get out of here? Since we're not who they're after, we should get to the resistance." Rione answered Mhera's look.
Mhera was clearly over the fact that she had been taken against her will. However, her experience with scenarios of this nature was aiding her pleading case. "Let's not get too hasty. In this matter, patience is key. We don't know what kind of person we're dealing with here. Also, I don't think the guards will hand over the keys if we just ask. But I do believe our opportunity is close at hand."
Serenity Wheeler winced out of surprise at the salty air blowing into her nose. The beach had always been a place of comfort for her, because it was the only place she and Joey could escape the arguments that tore their family apart.
There was another at the beach, a raven-haired girl with emerald eyes. She saw Serenity, and with no words, knew she had to be taken to the resistance. The salvation of Desteya had come.
DH: I hope you all liked the first part of Fate's forces. Next Chapter: Mhera and Rione escape, and meet up with the resistance. Serenity and Kaiba also show up with the green eyed girl, and Noah respectively. Don't miss Chapter Five: Fate's Forces Pt. II. If you have a name for the girl, I'd love to be able to use it. Just include it in your review.
