Chapter 9
Four weeks later-
Sophie POV.
Blinding bright lights pierced unmercifully at her eyes making her shut them again then attempt to open them for a second time. More slowly this occasion, giving her eyes time to adjust to the lights.
"Sophie! You're awake!" Someone threw their arms around her, pulling her into a warm, familiar hug.
"Lok?" Sophie murmured looking into his blue eyes and returning the hug happily. She was surprised to see tears glistening in his eyes. "Lok what's wrong?"
"Nothing now. I'm just happy that you are awake and alright!" Lok whispered tightening his grip on her as if he was afraid that if he let go of her she would vanish.
"I'm awake now and alright? What do you mean, what happened and how long was I out for?" Sophie asked moving over in her bed, giving Lok room to sit next to her.
She was in her bed in her room at her mansion; next to her bed were the machines which you would usually find at a hospital, monitoring her condition.
Lok leaned back against the head of the bed, letting her place he head on his chest and wrapped his arms comfortably around her. "You still don't remember? You have been out for four weeks; I was getting really worried about you." Lok whispered the last part, running his fingers slowly through her light brown hair.
Sophie stayed silent for a moment. "The last thing I remember was Rassimov and the others about to..." Her voice caught and a tear fell down her cheek, but she continued. "Just before that happened Kiel started to taunt me about my parents and how you guys could say hello to them for me... Then I got really mad and from there I have this blank spot in my memory until well I somehow fell out of the sky and you caught me."
Lok smiled down at her, at the same moment she raised her eyes to look at him, there gazes locking together.
"Sophie your awake...ohhh hehe sorry."
Sophie and Lok looked around, trying to prevent the blush from spreading across their cheeks.
"It's okay Cherit." Sophie sighed waiting for Lok to raise up some pillows behind his head so he could sit up more comfortably on the bed then lay back against his chest.
Cherit flew over to the bed and landed on Lok's shoulder just as Den stumbled into the room. "I hope I'm not interrupting anything." Den said smugly grinning at Sophie and Lok.
"Don't worry Cherit already did that." Lok replied turning to frown at the small Titan who was smiling sheepishly back at him.
Lok POV.
He turned away from the small white Titan to look back down at Sophie. For the second time they were caught in each other's gaze.
His eyes lingered over her facial features. The light which seeped thought the windows gently danced across her face.
"Umm... Guys we are still here." Den exclaimed walking over and sitting down on the end of Sophie's bed.
Lok and Sophie rolled their eyes and looked over at Den.
"Okay guys so I am really confused! What happened?" Sophie asked looking between the two boys and the small white Titan.
"Umm... Let's see, somehow you got really powerful and defeated all the Bloodspiral." Den quickly replied.
"Details Den... I need details!" Sophie exclaimed.
"I can tell you the details."
Everyone who was either sitting or lying on the bed turned to look at the door where Zhalia and Dante stood.
Sophie released a startled gasp. "Zhalia! What happened to your leg, why is it in plaster?"
"That will be explained in the details which Dante is about to share with you." Zhalia answered walking over to Sophie, leaning on Dante for support.
Zhalia and Dante took a seat next to each other on the sofa which was positioned beside Sophie's bed.
"Hey this could be our new meeting room!" Sophie exclaimed, looking around her room.
Dante chuckled at her enthusiasm, "Why, so you don't have to leave bed in the morning to find out the latest mission?"
"Yes." Sophie replied with mock indignantly.
"Okay no need to get annoyed, I don't want to mess with you after seeing you in action." Dante laughed holding his hands up.
"Will someone tell me what happened already!" Sophie snapped, frustrated that everyone but her knew about it.
"Okay... Well Rassimov and his partners in crime..." Den started but was cut off when he noticed Sophie glaring at him.
"I am explaining it Den." Dante reminded the younger seeker. "Rassimov and the other Bloodspiral leaders were about to release their powers at us when a scream from behind them caused them to stop. It was Kiel falling from the cliff, it's a miracle he survived the fall. Anyway they saw you surrounded by this violet glow... They actually seemed to be anxious when they saw you. What happened next we still don't understand how it happened... Well actually we don't understand the whole thing..."
"Go on." Sophie urged, eyes wide as she listened to the power that she had produced.
"Then to rose up higher and clouds enveloped your body, flashes of lightning struck out at some of the Bloodspirals. It was chaos. Then there were these large shapes appearing around you in the cloud. Then Rassimov got really nervous. He turned around and demanded that everyone got on with the 'ceremony'. He had released his power which would have finished us when you emerged from the clouds. You were radiating with complete power, so much a shock wave of it went out... That is what saved us. Zhalia placed a shield over us to protect us from rubble and debris which was flying everywhere."
Lok glanced down at the girl whose mouth was agape in awe.
Dante continued. "You healed us with Everheal, this also removed Zhalia and Den's Spiral marks, although for some reason it didn't work on Zhalia's leg. Then once we were in a safe location you started to look in the rubble for the Spiral leaders when Rassimov sent out an explosion which knocked you off your feet. He was about to send Legion to attack you when Phoenix and Toa protected you..."
He was cut short by Sophie. "Wait, when did I summon Phoenix and.. And how did Tao get there? Isn't he in the spirit world or something?"
Dante looked at her confused.
"You forgot to explain to her how the shadows in the clouds were all of the legendary Titans we have faced so far." Zhalia said to Dante.
"All the legendary Titans..." Sophie shifted her head so she was intently gazing up at Lok's face.
He smiled at her, "They are telling the truth."
Sophie kept on turning around to look at the reactions from everyone in the room as Dante went on with the story, almost as if she needed to test their reactions to see if Dante was telling the truth or not.
Finally Dante got to the part after Sophie had fainted. "Lok was sent back here with you, as we weren't sure whether you needed medical attention or not and he refused to leave you."
A faint blush started to spread over Lok's cheeks. Sophie smiled sweetly at him.
Lok got a smug look on his face and casually replied to Dante, "You thought I was bad? Ha... What about how you acted with Zhalia!"
Lok grinned as Sophie burst into hysterical laughter, it was a rare occasion for both of them that Dante would look uncomfortable with the situation, and even rarer when Zhalia would frantically avoid everyone's gaze.
Den gave the pair a look as if they were mad.
Even Dante and Zhalia stopped their rare reactions when they saw how happy Sophie was, she hadn't laughed this much in a long time.
Seeing that Dante wasn't going to explain the situation with Zhalia, Den decided to pipe up and explain it much to Dante and Zhalia's dismay. "Well just after Lok and Sophie had left to go back home, the Huntik Foundation arrived with two of their largest aircrafts and they started to load on the still unconscious bodies of the once Bloodspiral Brotherhood."
Sophie who had finally got her laughter under control suddenly turned a deathly pale.
Den immediately stopped talking when he noticed this, "What is it?"
In a quiet voice Sophie whispered, "What about your brother Harrison... I didn't hurt him did I?"
Den smiled at her. "Harrison is fine; it's because of you that I have my brother back."
Instantly a look of relief flooded over Sophie's face, she mumbled softly so only Lok could hear her, "I thought that I might have killed him, especially after listening to how much power I used."
Lok realised how shocked she would be to hear all this, all she knew is what they told her. Even then she thought that they might be leaving some parts out so she wouldn't know about it. That is why she kept on taking in everyone's expressions and needed there reassurance that it was all true.
"Sophie don't doubt yourself. After all, even if you don't remember anything at the time you were still in control. You let Kiel go; even after all he had done to you." Lok whispered back to her, the others in the room seemed to notice that the pair were having a private conversation and stayed quiet.
Tears started to build up at the rim of Sophie's eyes, but Lok knew that it wasn't because she was upset, but instead because she was thankful.
After a moment Sophie turned back to Dante, "So what exactly happened with you and Zhalia?" Dante sighed; obviously he had hoped that she would have forgotten.
Den immediately jumped back into his story. "Anyway Dante was so determined to get Zhalia back to 'safety' and for her to get to a hospital. So he demanded that the Foundation send one of their fastest planes so he could get Zhalia transported back here. He wouldn't leave her side the whole time, and he had to make sure that all of her transport arrangements were perfect and..."
"Den... That's enough." Zhalia growled, Den looked miffed but continued.
"Then I was left in charge with Cherit and we had to help the foundation find out who each of the, once, Bloodspirals were so they could all be returned to their homes."
Sophie smiled, "So it is really over... My family can now live in peace. There is still one thing though... I don't possess any of those powers that I showed... Also how would I have the strength to summon all of those titans, especially legendary Titans!"
The room fell into silence until Cherit started to speak. "When you spoke, your voice seemed different... At one point I thought I heard you speaking like, um..."
He had everyone's attention now but he seemed to be hesitant to continue. "I am not sure... Though I don't know how... Your, at some point your different voice, I'm not sure how I know what his voice sounded like, but it was similar to Lord Casterwill's. It was similar to the time when Lok retrieved the Willblade, I thought I heard his voice then too when Lok spoke but because you both didn't remember anything I didn't mention it."
"Wait, I am a direct descendant of Lord Casterwill. Maybe like the time with Lok, as you just told us Cherit he gave me more power. My family has forbidden powers... Ones that I never thought to tell you about, that is the power I was using against Kiel... But when I started to rise into the cloud... That is when everything went black... Something happened and I got Lord Casterwills help and power to defeat the Bloodspirals and control the legendary Titans. In one of my family's ancient scriptures it was written that with pure will Lord Casterwill was able to stay alive for many years, with the anger that I possessed that is also how I was able to withstand collapsing from lack of strength after using so many powers. Then like Lord Casterwill many years ago after the threat was gone he peacefully passed away where he stood, though for me that is the point when I collapsed from exhaustion even though I should have done so long before. There was something else, it mentioned that in time of great need Lord Casterwill would appear to help a direct descendent in his family" Sophie explained.
Cherit nodded, agreeing with her hypothesis where as everyone else took longer to adapt to the idea.
"Where is Kiel?" Sophie finally asked seeing that no one else was going to speak.
"Like you told him... When he awoke he was already in Foundation custody. "Zhalia answered her.
"Thankyou... Now I don't know about you guys but after spending four weeks sleeping I want to get outside and walk around!" Sophie exclaimed, propping herself up against Lok's chest. "Oh no, I just realised something! I have just wasted the last month of my life asleep. Just think of all the reading and studying I could of done in that time!"
Dante stood up and put out a hand to assist Zhalia. "It's good to have you back."
Sophie POV.
The sun was just starting to lower below the horizon... Its orange glow radiated a pleasant warmth onto Lok and Sophie who sat together on the roof of Dante's home.
"So much has happened and changed ever since the last time we were together watching the sun set." Sophie murmured, she hugged her knees close to her body.
A smile broke out onto Lok's face and he wrapped his arm loosely around her shoulder. "I told you that in time you would show amazing power."
Sophie laughed at him, "You mean Lord Casterwill's power."
Lok didn't bother to respond, instead he allowed her to rest her head on his shoulder, he gave her a small kiss on the forehead when she was comfortable. For a split second Sophie tensed before sliding closer next to him.
"What did Dante and Zhalia want to talk to you about before?"
Sophie groaned slightly, "To reprimand me for going off on my own and not informing the team... They were good about it though."
The pair stared out at the sunset for a minute in a comfortable silence until Sophie spoke again.
"You said that after Rassimov jumping into his own spell that Wind and Shauna escaped. I wonder if we will ever see them again."
Lok laughed softly and ran his fingers through her hair. "I don't know for sure but if I was them I would definatly take my time and have second thoughts about showing my face around here anytime soon, especially after seeing what you can do."
DONE! So there you go, Sophie didn't all of a sudden become outragously powerful, instead it was through her family heritage with Lord Casterwill that she recieved the strength for that one battle.
Sorry to everyone who was expecting a really romanic scene for Sophie and Lok. I didn't want to have it at the very end because that is what you find in most stories and it gets fairly predictible.
I may write a sequal or another Huntik story but I am not making any promises. I want to write some other fanfictions but if you do want me to write another Huntik story sooner I will need some ideas and sugestions. So if anyone has any ideas feel free to tell.
Thankyou again to all of my reviewers, all of your reviews have meant everything to me and have given me ideas on how to write the different chapters. To all of the Guests, ShyWolf, Jane Eyre0, Killerawesome, MissLaboe, matthew0208, The Midnight Dragon, xs18, Sirens in the water, linds01,kimberly, Lady Elvira. Thankyou so much, (I felt as though you all deserved proper regignition.)
Special thanks particulary to: Jane Eyre0 and xs18 who both reviewed multiple times.
Some of you wondered why I didnt get Dante or Lok to be part of the 'big' battle. The reason I chose to do this was simply, the story mainly focused on Sophie and Lok. Also like the story name, Sophie showed power which could not be defeated, hence the name Undefeatable Power.
Another reviewer mentioned on how it seemed unrealistic for Sophie and Zhalia to escape so quickly. In my imagination their 'cell' was positioned away from the chamber where the Betrayer was kept. Hence the reason they did not run into any guards. I also had it worked out that it would take them atleast an hour to reach the area where they met Dante. The reason all of the Spirals had come out though was because they knew that Sophie and Zhalia had escaped.
By the way if anyone thinks that after watching the show I knew all of the names and everything, you are wrong. I have spent hours finding out the names and the powers ect. of all the characters *sigh* exhausting.
So, yet again if you have any ideas for anonther story please tell me.
Hope you enjoyed it.
