CHAPTER 12: Sara's Betrayal
Sara smiled cruelly as she watched Diva grab Riku. She and Kai had just come back to where they had left him after hearing the report that the ship would blow up. Kai made a move to shoot Diva so she quickly dropped her sword and grabbed his wrist to stop him. She wrapped her other arm around his throat.
Kai struggled in her grip but she held onto him with ease. "What are you doing? Riku is in trouble"
Sara tightened her grip on him and with one fluid jump she landed over by Diva, who held Riku firmly in her arms. "You humans are so worthless and dense. Don't you get it yet? I'm with Diva now. And you, you're for Saya"
Kai stopped struggling as shock enveloped him. "What? What are you talking about?" Kai screamed as Sara snapped his wrist. The gun dropped from his hand.
She threw Kai into a crate and then grabbed Riku away from Diva. She stared into Riku's eyes before she looked at his older brother. "You protect him so desperately. How will you feel when we drain the life from him?"
Kai tried to force himself up but fell back down in pain. "You set all this up, didn't you, Sara?" She smiled a silent "yes". "Why?! Why are you doing all this?"
Sara shook her head. "Patience, human, that will be revealed in time" She looked back at Riku. "You've been quiet, little boy. Do YOU have nothing to say?'
Tears slipped from Riku's eyes. "I trusted you. WE trusted you. How could you?" She merely chuckled in response. "I'm begging you. Please don't hurt Kai. Don't harm my brother"
Sara arched a brow at his words. "That was begging?" She smiled evilly. "I've heard better" She bit hard into his neck. Diva bit down into the other side of his neck. Sara lifted her hand and tangled it into Diva's hair. She felt like she'd been pulled into another world. Saya didn't know what she was missing. There was nothing better than hearing this boy's heart beat slow and cease.
"Riku! Riku!" Kai was screaming. Sara realized he'd been screaming for a while. She pulled back from Riku as Diva let him drop lifelessly to the ground. Kai was finally able to pull himself up and he ran at her. "You bitch!"
Sara merely sidestepped his punch and kneed him hard in the stomach. "Pathetic human" she said with hatred as he fell to the ground. She continued to kick and stomp him, laughing at his pain-filled screams. "You should be honored. If I have my way you'll be liberated from your worthless human life"
Diva watched in humor as her love beat down her sister's human companion. "Uh, my love? Try to control yourself a bit. While this is hilarious, I can't turn him if he's dead"
Sara stopped beating him. "Oh, right. My bad"
* * * *
Sara had been kneeling on the ground but she stood as Saya was thrown into the room. Karl flew in after her. She didn't see Hagi. Saya rolled with the fall and shot to her feet.
"Saya!" she called out to her former queen.
"Sara!" Saya called back to her. "Protect Kai and Riku! I have to do this" Sara rolled her eyes and picked up Kai from rhe floor as Saya ran toward Karl.
Diva chose that time to speak up. "Hey, big sister!"
Saya gasped and stopped running when she heard Diva's voice. She turned toward her younger sister, gasping again as she saw Kai's beaten form in Sara's arms. "Kai! Sara, what did Diva do to Kai?!"
Sara glanced down at Kai, shrugged and said in a pleasant tone of voice, "She didn't do anything to him" Then her look darkened. "I was the one who hurt him"
Saya's eyes widened. "But... why?" she said in a hurt tone.
Sara's face showed pure evil. "Because I hate humans. I remembered my past, Saya. The humans deserve to pay for what they did to me, and what they did to Diva. We were both nothing but lab rats to them"
Saya looked sympathetic at first but then she turned angry. "Regardless of what happened to the two of you, Kai didn't do anything. You had no right to hurt him, Sara!"
Sara disregarded her words. "Humans are ALL the same, Saya. But anyway, I was planning to give you a present. Kai was going to help" Sara smiled at her. "I was going to give you despair" She turned to Diva. "My love?"
Saya's eyes widened in shock at the endearment. Diva stroked Kai's hair tenderly as she looked at Saya. "Shall I make him my Chevalier, sister?"
Saya's eyes narrowed in sorrow as she looked at them both. Then she turned to her Chevalier. "Sara" she said sadly. Then she ran at Sara with her sword. Sara didn't bother to move and Saya ran her through. She kept running until Sara's back hit a crate. Then she breathed heavily from exertion.
Saya gasped and jumped as Sara grabbed her shoulders. "You cannot kill me, Saya. Only Diva can" Sara pulled her away until the sword was extracted from her stomach. Sara looked at Saya with disappointment. "I was hoping you would join us, Saya"
Saya glared at her, her glowing red eyes blazing. "Never, you traitor!"
Sara glared back and then spun with her, slamming her into a crate. Saya cried out in pain and fell to the floor. She was starting to get up until she saw Riku. He lay unmoving, lifeless and drained of blood. Her eyes fogged up with tears and she felt a lump rise up in her throat. "Riku" she choked out.
Sara delighted in every moment of Saya's pain. Diva smiled as well and even laughed. "He was delicious" Diva said out loud. "Kai would have been even more of a delicacy though, I bet" Sara added.
Saya tightened her hand on her sword as her tears fell. "Karl, you can do whatever you like with my sister" Diva told her waiting Chevalier. "My pleasure" he replied instantly with glee. Saya sat up just as Kai was thrown at her. "Saya, take my hand!" Karl yelled out as he ran at her with his clawed hand extended toward her.
Hagi made his appearance then. He stepped in between Karl and Saya, catching Karl's wrist in his hand. He was bleeding but he ignored it as he heard Saya crying. "Saya, are you hurt?" he asked worriedly.
Saya held Kai in her arms. He was crying too as he stared at Riku in horror. "No, I'm alright, Hagi. But Riku... he's not" She shook her head in a failed effort to relieve some of the pain. "It was Sara! She's betrayed us! She's joined Diva"
Hagi's anger instantly ignited. He crushed Karl's wrist in his fist and then threw several daggers toward Sara. Sara had retrieved her sword and she used it to deflect all the daggers.
'What a pitiful offense' Sara thought smugly.
* * * *
Sara was in her Chiropteran form of a black dragon with demonic red eyes that resembled Saya's. Diva was on her back and Karl flew beside her. Karl attacked the Red Shield members. He succeeded in harming one in the spine.
Sara waited until the Red Shield helicopter was about to fly off and then released a massive amount of blue energy out of her mouth toward it. The helicopter managed to dodge it and flew off into the night. Sara growled in annoyance and then flapped her wings with aggravation.
"Sara, let me down!" Diva ordered her.
As the first explosions went off Sara hesitated. "Are you sure?" Her voice was deeper and demonic in this form, but was definitely still female.
"Trust me" Diva said back.
Sara motioned to Karl to stay in the air and then landed. Diva got off her back but she stayed in dragon form. Diva was looking up at her sister with amusement. Sara chuckled as she noticed Hagi glaring at her. Saya glared at Diva.
"They left you behind, big sister!" Diva shouted to Saya.
"No" Saya said back to her. "I stayed to defeat you" The ship was on fire.
Diva smiled at her teasingly as her eyes once again started to glow. "I wonder how it will end?" More explosions went off.
Saya's own eyes started glowing. "I will kill you" she said with determination.
There were even more explosions.
* * * *
The ship blew up.
