A/N: It's coming close...the coolest part of this whole story! The events in this chapter were thought of by a reviewer, but I had already intended on something similar happening. So thanks to Rachel for sort've spoiling my story for the people who read my other reviews hehe. And err sorry for taking so long, school is freaking stupid. So updates are gonna come every two weeks from now on I suppose. Before I shut up, I have to say sorry that these are shorter chapters than before...now lets get on with this thang. Got some twists for ya down at the end...
"Did you miss me, Pendragon?" Saint Dane snarled. He drew out a dagger from his suit. "It's been quite long, hasn't it?"
"I killed you!" Cid screamed. "I watched you fall to the floor and die!"
"Correction," said Saint Dane. "You watched Azarus fall to the floor and die. My soul was simply using his body. Sorry, fellas." This set Bobby off the edge.
"I'm not gonna take this shit anymore, Saint Dane! I swear, on all the good people you've killed souls, that I will beat you here once and for all!" Spader threw Bobby a handgun with one bullet in it. Bobby caught it, and pointed the gun at the blade of Saint Dane's dagger. Bobby pulled the trigger, and the blade shattered from Bobby's perfect accuracy. Saint Dane snickered.
"Oh no, so you destroyed my dagger Pendragon," snarled Saint Dane. "I'm going to simply die from my blade shattering. I'll just use something a little more entertaining for me." From his belt, Saint Dane pulled out the hilt of a gray sword.
"No..." Bobby said. Saint Dane flicked his wrist, and a retractable blade appeared from the hilt.
"Look familiar, Pendragon?" Saint Dane with a humongous grin. He jumped off the ground, and swung the sword diagonally at Bobby's chest. Bobby was too horrified to react, and the blade cut deeply into his chest. Blood started to spill from the wound, and Bobby could do nothing about it except cover his chest with his hands.
Great, now I can't fight if I have to cover my wound. He thought. What to do...what to do...
Bobby decided to let his wound bleed for the moment, and then run for Emel.
"Pendragon!" Spader called, and threw him a another small handgun. Bobby barely managed to catch the handgun, as he was becoming dizzy from all of the bleeding. He cocked the already cocked gun, and pointed it at Saint Dane. Bobby pulled the trigger, and was pushed backwards by the strong recoil of the gun. The bullet had impact with Saint Dane's chest, but no blood or any wound appeared. Bobby heard a faint 'clink' and saw the bullet fall to the ground from where he was standing.
"Damn," Bobby swore under his breath, and pointed the gun again, prepared this time for the recoil. He planted his feet deeper into the ground, and pulled the trigger again, this time pointing at Saint Dane's feet. The bullet hit him in the foot, and he fell to the ground. Bobby then dropped the gun, and ran for it, making sure to avoid Saint Dane so that his escape could be nice and clean.
To Bobby's dismay however, Saint Dane had risen from the ground and pulled a rather large gun out of nowhere. He pointed it at Bobby, forcing him to speed up his run down the hill into the city. Bobby then heard the sound of a bullet being shot from the barrel, and jumped into a front flip. The flip was almost perfect, until Bobby felt immerse pain shooting through his right leg. The bullet had hit him.
Yet Bobby trudged on and picked himself up off the ground and ran like hell. He ran through the city, hearing many gasps and cries from his bleeding chest and now leg. Finally, he saw Raux's house and burst through the door. Bobby panted and caught his breath, becoming dizzier by the second. He wasn't going to last much longer from here.
Bobby saw no captive girl, so he burst through a door and slowly walked down to the basement of the house. In the basement was a small wooden table with one chair. And on the ground, was Emel, struggling to break free of ropes that tied her hands tightly together. Quickly, Bobby undid the complicated knot binding her hands together, and pulled the gag out of her mouth.
"Oh Bobby!" cried Emel, bringing Bobby into a bloody embrace. "Thank you so much for saving me!"
"It...was...no...prob...lem..." Bobby said between coughs. Suddenly the world began to spin, and slowly everything went dark.

As bright sunlight peaked through the darkness of his mind, Bobby Pendragon opened his eyes. His chest, he noticed, had stopped bleeding, and so had his leg. Bobby felt significantly better than he had before. Bobby sat up, and was met by massive pain.
"Relax, Bobby," came Emel's voice. "Sit up slowly." Then everything rushed back into Bobby's brain.
"What time is it?" he shouted. "We need to get out of here!" Emel pulled out a watch from her pocket.
"11:39," she said.
"We need to go, now!"
screamed Bobby. "Saint Dane is out there! I fought him! He's
gonna do anything to prevent us from destroying Ibara!"
"I'm
in control of my body again, Pendragon," Raux said, entering the
room spinning a knife between his fingers. "And there is no way
Ibara is being destroyed!" Bobby jumped off the ground, and
pushed Raux into the wall.
"C'mon, Emel!" he yelled, and ran up the stairs. He was followed by Emel, and soon both heard the rapid footsteps of Raux coming up the stairs. Emel and Bobby burst out of the house, and up the cliff to the flume. Everyone was still there, but Spader looked a little beat up. He had fought Saint Dane, assumed Bobby. "We need to leave now!" Bobby shouted to everybody. "Saangi, you go first! Hurry!"
Saangi went over to the flume, and stared at it. She turned around and stared at Bobby.
"I love you," she said. "I just have a feeling..." she turned back to the flume. "Second Earth!" The music began, and Saangi disappeared into the crystal tunnel. Bobby checked his watch. Twenty minutes had passed quickly. It was now 11:58. The running must have done it, he thought.
"C'mon guys!" he yelled for the last time. "Let's go!"
"It's too late, Pendragon!" said Raux, suddenly appearing beside them. Bobby noticed that he was holding onto the S.Bomb.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" Bobby yelled. "You're killing yourself!" Everyone, including Bobby himself, was glued to their spots. The red neon lights had came down to 10. "Just watch me, Pendragon.
Five seconds.
And with those last final words, Raux threw the S.Bomb into the flume.
