Chapter 8
Bastion felt his heart racing as they launched into the sky. He couldn't have believed that time had passed so quickly. He looked over at the girl seated next to him on the plane and smiled. He noticed that Meg was already asleep; perhaps all she needed was some movement to get her rested especially since she was practically an insomniac. He looked over at the Taniya who was sitting and flirting with Crowler and shuddered. That girl could kill and break someone's heart or soul he thought glancing back to his companion sleeping in the chair next to him.
Bastion looked behind him to hear Alexis and her brother again arguing about whether or not she would willingly be in Atticus's future band "Bro-bro and Sissy." The Ra yellow student closed his eyes then trying to tune out Syrus and Jaden getting overly excited about the complimentary peanuts and Chazz was freaking out over something unimportant. Did this plane ride have to be so incredibly awful? Bastion wondered.
He looked at Meg again who was now shivering. She must be cold noted Bastion mentally as he grabbed a blanket out of his carry-on bag and wrapped it around her in a gentlemanly sort of way. The shuddering lessened which relaxed some of Bastion's nerves. He had been uptight just thinking about going to his hometown and possibly seeing his family.
Flashback
"Remember, Bastion, they don't control your life, and if they do, fight back," Meg said grabbing Bastion's clenched fist. "There's no reason to get upset over something you can't control. Isn't that what we are trying to prevent?" He grabbed her arm and pulled her to his level.
"But you are the same way!" he yelled as Meg broke free of his firm grasp. Meg grabbed his hand lifted his chin up.
"Look at me," Meg instructed trying not to show her frustration but failing miserably as tears of pain and resentment formed in her blue eyes, "I fucking know that. Do I look like I am not…in pain because of them? That's why I am not letting you become me dammit. That's why you and I are working to get revenge." Bastion had finally understood why she was so dedicated to helping him on his mission, besides of course, showing her sisters that she wasn't some toy meant for breaking.
End of Flashback
Bastion gazed out the small window seeing the blue sky and fluffy white and silver clouds that blocked more of the bluish beauty. He wondered if both Meg and he could get their proper revenge. It was only a question, but would their plan be suitable? Meg woke up and looked up at him.
"Did someone give me a random blanket?" asked Meg looking at the green and silver blanket that engulfed her.
"You were shivering so I gave you my blanket," Bastion explained. Meg nodded in understanding, but wondered why he even gave a rat's ass about her at all. It didn't matter of course, but it was a natural thing that made her rather curious about the man.
"Thanks," Meg replied quietly snuggling deeper into the blanket.
"Any time," Bastion answered watching her fall back into a peaceful slumber. The male smiled looking at Meg remembering when she had fallen asleep on his bed that previous week while he, Syrus, Jaden, Chazz, and Alexis were arguing over what pro-duelist was the most impressive.
Flashback
"No, Yugi is the best duelist ever! He beats everyone by a long shot!" Jaden exclaimed standing up in Bastion's formula-covered room. Alexis smiled as she made Jaden sit back down by hitting a certain spot in the back of Jaden's leg around the knee.
"Just because he
has never been beaten, doesn't make him the most impressive
duelist," I say it's Marik. He controlled the Winged Dragon of
Ra, and let's not forget he did manipulate his life points well,"
stated Chazz.
"But he was evil," Jaden protested.
"I agree with Jay," said Syrus which made Chazz started laughing maniacally. Bastion looked at the hysterical Chazz wondering why he even wasn't beaten up by Chazz for acting like a deranged lunatic when he was drunk such as now.
"You agree with whatever your little lover says though," Chazz stated making Syrus rise to his feet in anger. After fifteen minutes of holding back Syrus from choking the black-haired, pale-face Obelisk student, Syrus settled down.
"Personally, I think Mai Valentine has them all beat," said Alexis, "She is a true woman but with power. I wish I was like that." Bastion looked back at his bed where the female duelist raised by amazonness was sleeping like a child. Her auburn hair was in her eyes. She looked so peaceful and tranquil, which was the exact opposite of her.
End of Flashback
Bastion looked out the small window to see the great Big Ben. They were most definitely landing. He knew this place by heart since he was raised here. He watched as another plane passed them in the distance obviously leaving London. Bastion wished he was on that plane to get out of what he considered a hell hole. Bastion watched as the neared the ground and thought I should probably wake up, Meg
"Meg, it's time to wake up," Bastion said sweetly as he shook her arm gently.
"Why?" she moaned unhappily as her eyes fluttered open.
"Because we are in London," stated Bastion, "and it's time for our plan to begin." Meg stretched her skinny white arms and nodded. She had been prepared for this since Bastion and she came up with this plan, and sleep was not going to interfere from what they had believed to be the right thing to do. They stood up watching first Taniya and Crowler leave the plane and then some more students following the teachers.
"Are you ready?" he asked knowing that Taniya was going to end up also suffering from their plans, which was one reason why they came up with it.
"Bastion," the blue-eyed girl said proudly, "I was born ready."
Mew Kazurinu: Well, so what do you believe is going to happen? What is their plan? And when will we meet Actor Brother Raoul, all coming up soon, well, I do need my sleep so keep a look out.
