Chapter Eighteen: Member number two

"Did you take care of it?"

"Yes my lord."

"So what did you use?"

Sàix's eyes glittered brightly. " A slow acting poison. It will take days to kill him."

"An interesting method. Seems like you want to watch him suffer."

"Yes my lord. Does that displease you?"

"No, I just find it interesting." The master stood up and walked over to the window. "You will go tonight and fight them. I expect you to take them out."

"Yes, my lord."

Ren woke up on the ground, rolled up and the ice spirit Kororo sitting on his head. He looked around the room and sat up. It was the next morning after they had finally arrived at the city and the bright light filtered through the window. He stretched and then stood up. Kororo flew off away from him.

"Finally awake," asked Pyro as he sat balanced on the stair case. Ren nodded.

"About time too," he said with a bright smile. He jumped down from his high place and walked over. "At night fall, Sàix is coming."

"Already?"

"It's the night of the full moon, a perfect time to attack. His powers will be at max."

Ren leaned back against the wall, and ran a hand through his hair. "Then let's wake the others. They need to be informed."

Pyro grabbed his arm, holding him back. "Don't bother. They don't need to know yet. We'll tell them after the day ends."

Ren narrowed his eyes and left the building without saying another word. He flew to the top of one of the buildings and stayed there for a while. His mind buzzed with so many different thoughts. He hated this waiting game. He wished the lunar user would hurry up and come. He just wanted this fight over with as soon as possible. He wanted to get closer to regaining his humanity. He looked towards the sky and sighed.

Horo knew now that that pain in his shoulders had been about. He had been poisoned by something called 'Slow Death' by his people. The poison was actually a virus that didn't spread easily, and that slowly destroyed you from the inside. Sàix had been clever, very clever to have done this. But it didn't matter.

He made his way down a forest path, coughing slightly as he did, until he reached the city. Silver metal shown in the light, and he smirked. Sàix would get quite a surprise when he came to the city tonight. He positioned himself by the building his friends were in and waited.

For that was all he could do, for now.

"C'rintri will die soon Dolhar, and we can do nothing for the kind Jabbak."

Three servants of the high house sat around the table, talking to one another. Things were finally happening that they had waiting for so long. The only thing was, people had to die in order for it to happen. This was one loss they didn't want to suffer through.

"He is so much like Ssussun. I wish we could have him for a master."

Dolhar nodded his head and brushed a few strains of hair from his eyes. "Yes. But we have to do what he told us to do. Chose a master from among out own. I just pray those strangers defeat Sàix.

"We all wish for that."

----

The moon begun it's upward arc in the sky and Ren went into full alert. His keen eyes scanned the area for Sàix. He would be coming soon so he had to keep an eye out. What he saw however was Pyro and Pirika.

"I know he had a good reason," Pirika said sadly, walking down the street. "But I would like things to just do back to what they were before all this happened. How I wish this had never happened."

Pyro walked beside her, his expression sad. "I know how you feel but it just did. You can't turn back time and stop this from happening. It happened for a reason."

"One good thing did happen because of this."

"And what's that?"

"I got to meet you."

He smiled and in a sudden motion hugged her. For a moment she wanted to pull away and tell him off but then she realized it was just a hug between friends. It didn't really matter because… they were just friends. Ren though felt his jealousy grow and he wanted nothing more then to fly down there and kill Pyro. But that would give away how he still felt, and he could do that. He turned away just to find himself staring into Sàix's golden eyes.

"About time you noticed I was here. I was starting to wonder about your keen sense," he said with sarcasm. Ren couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Let's just get this over with, eh Sàix? You have kept me waiting long enough so I think you owe me that."

Sàix looked surprise for a moment before he started to laugh. "Kept you waiting? Why I'm sorry. I did not-"

A frosty chain wrapped around Sàix's wrist and pulled him down. Ren recognized the chains right away and followed the lunar user down. Horo was there, still in his strange alien form, and he was smirking. He looked pale, but other then that alright. Ren though could feel that something was wrong inside of him.

"C'rintri?" Sàix seemed just as surprised as the others, once they had gotten out into the street. "You shouldn't be able to move by now."

"I'm stronger then you think." He turned his frosty eyes to Ren and said, "Let me deal with him."

"No, I saw him first," Ren said, almost pouting. He rolled his eyes.

"Then let's do it together. For old times sake, Ren."

Pirika looked from the alien called C'rintri back to Ren in confusion. "Who is he?"

"A friend."

Sàix summoned his great sword and charged at C'rintri, his eyes burning in anger. The frost alien only managed to dodge before he summoned up his eyes dagger and attacked. Ren quickly joined him, swinging his kon down at the alien. Sàix was able to hold them off quite well, but when everyone tried to help Ren told them to stay back. Anna was going in there though no matter what, if things got bad.

Sàix shot waves of energy at the two that were about eight inch's thick and twelve inch's wide. They got hit by a few but it wasn't major damage so they charged right on through. When their blades clashed, sparks of red energy shot out. The two warriors worked together as if they had known each other their whole lives. Together they dived through Sàix's waves and struck at him. He dodged them and moved back to strike again.

It went on like for hours until, in a swift motion, Sàix cut C'rintri deeply across the chest, knocking him to the ground. In a rage, Ren cut the unaware lunar user in half. As the alien died, Rent turned his attention back to C'rintri and he could feel his life force fading. He grabbed him by the collar and yelled at him.

"Horo!? Hang on alright? You have to!"

Pirika gasped and ran over. "What did you say?"

C'rintri smiled slightly before coughing. His coughs now brought up blood, but he quickly whipped it away. "Sorry I didn't tell you sooner sis, but this is why I was acting strange. I was aware of what the awaking of the demon meant. I just couldn't tell you."

She hugged her brother, knowing that he wasn't lying to her. "I'm sorry Horo. Sorry I doubted you! Just don't die."

"I can't stop it silly."

"What a disappointment."
