Chapter 3: Eye of the storm

(I do not own Rave Master)

Haru was in the room with Elie watching her sleep and wondering about the feeling she got.

'It's not like Elie to lie about something like that…' Haru thought, 'her feelings have been right in the past.'

He looked at Elie as she lay there fast asleep peacefully and smiled.

Outside he could hear wind blowing and thunder.

"A storm…" He said standing up and going to the window, "It wasn't cloudy at all earlier…"

The once peaceful Elie seemed to get a troubled look on her face as she slept. Haru ran over to Elie's side.

"He's coming…" She said in her fit.

"Elie!" He yelled trying to calm her down.

"He's coming…nothing can…" Elie started.

Haru was holding her hand worried and Elie continued to react like she was.

About the same time as Elie, Shiba who was outside began to shake in fearl

"But that seal was supposed to last," Shiba said.

Musica who happened to be nearby walked over.

"Hey Old man what's wrong?" Musica asked, "I don't get feelings like most of you but I can tell something's up."

Shiba didn't answer and Musica was getting fed up.

"Listen you better talk first Elie gets sick and faints, and now storm clouds appear out of nowhere I'm not genius but that's not normal!" Musica yelled.

"I've told Haru about it…" Shiba said, "But it seems my fears have come to pass…the seal is broken…"

"Seal?" Musica asked, "What seal?"

"A long time ago the knights and I sealed away an evil being named Seymour. His power was too strong so Resha Valentine and I used the Rave to create a seal with the knights…" Shiba said, "But I suppose me losing the Rave weakened that seal…"

"And what does the Seymour guy want?" Musica asked.

"The Rave…" Shiba said.

"So that means he'll go after Haru?" Musica asked.

"Yes…" Shiba answered, "And Elie…she has the same power as Resha…"

The wind around Shiba and Musica got stronger blowing away anyone outside of it and a man appeared. He still appeared young and had a purple robe, black pants, a gray shirt and boots. His hair was turning Gray despite the fact he looked young and had an aura that no one had to look hard to see.

"Quite an interesting talk…so this Haru is the new Rave Master?" The man now known as Seymour asked, "I knew you wouldn't have it anymore Shiba."

"Seymour…" Shiba growled.

"Oh it's a pity about that seal of yours…didn't last as long as you wanted it to…" Seymour replied, "but no matter now I get to play with a new Rave Master…"

"Not if I have anything to say about it," Musica replied, "you won't get near them."

"Now that would suck the fun out of my chase if I went in after them…" Seymour said, "No…I'll make sure they come to me…"

Musica created a spear with his silver and ran up to attack but was blown outside of the wind to the outside.

"Tell your friends to come to The caverns of Harley in 3 days or Shiba…well they'll never see him again," Seymour said as the wind died down leaving no trace of either Shiba or Seymour.

The clouds had disappeared too and Musica glared.

* * *

Haru noticed the wind die down and the clouds leave as he held Elie's hand who was back sleeping peacefully.

'What was that about?' Haru thought and remembered what Shiba told him earlier.

* * *

'Back when I was still the Rave Master I sealed away someone with the power of Rave. This someone wasn't with the Shadow Guard but he was incredibly powerful…" Shiba said, "The seal was supposed to last forever but I'm afraid with the rave beings scattered 50 years ago he might break free.

* * *

"Could it have something to do with that?" Haru asked.

"Haru!" Musica yelling running in waking Elie as well in the process.

"Musica what is it?" Elie asked.

"It's Shiba some guy showed up and kidnapped him…he wants you and Elie to come to him within three days or Shiba will die," Musica said.

"So that feeling I got…" Elie said.

"Was probably about that…" Haru answered, "well I hate to play into his hands but we can't let Shiba die…"

"I'll help," Musica said, "I haven't turned you down yet."

"I'll come too," Elie replied.

"No Elie you stay here…your not well enough…" Haru said.

"He said both of us…" Elie replied, "Besides I want to help Shiba he's always been so kind to me."

"Elie…" Haru replied, "Alright but be careful."

Elie smiled and the three along with Plue began their newest journey to save Shiba from the clutches of Seymour.
