Guardians of the Galaxy .11 Dragons in the Relics.
The amethyst ring I found on Moatoob shone brightly on my hand as I walked into my room and Geegee happily greeted me,as always.I recently installed the Synthesis kit and just went out to get some supplies to make some stuff.
I inserted the board and then began synthesizing,I was trying to make a monomate."Alright the materials have been inserted,beginning synthesizing."She began making this whirring sound then a high pitched ding."You can take the item out,please don't get mad if it didn't work."
"I could never get mad at you Geegee."I smiled at her as I took out the new monomate."It worked!You made your very first item Geegee!"She started hovering all around me and beeped hapily."And also you may give me items,giving me certain items will make my synthesizing much better!"
I didn't know that before but I gave it a shot.I gave her a few Nuedaiz Ebon(A type of rare wood found on Nuedaiz.) and gave it to her,and she actually became a little stronger!
"Alright then.From now on I'll make sure to give you stuff before I start synthisizing.That way you won't mess anything up."I beamed.
"Well..I better get going now...Raye's waiting for me."Geegee looked confused after I said that."But you have no mission assessments...And I thought you didn't like Raye very much?"That's right Geegee doesn't know.
"Well,things change and so do people..Well I'll see you later,if I don't go now I'll be late!"And I eagerly rushed out the door,nearly bumping smack into Raye.
"Whoa were's the fire Minore?"He chuckled.We were supposed to meet at the cafe,ether he got impatient or something came over.
"Something happen?"I asked and he sighed."Yeah..We have to go to the briefing room again.They said that this guy wants to hire us."He sounded a little depressed.I stared down at my feet,guess we're going to spend our date on a mission.
We walked into the GUARDIANS Headquarters and as soon as we were close enough to the briefing room we hear loud yelling.We exchanged looks and entered the room.
"I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE CONSEQUENCES!I will go alone if that is what it comes down to!"A man slamed his fist on the small table,both me and Raye jumped at the sight.The man was dark skinned and wearing a white drench coat.His coal dark eyes were wide and wild.
Mira sat across on high knees (The briefing room was styled in a way that the table was low to the floor and you had to sit on pillows.) she looked distressed."Please Doctor.Too many researchers have vanished from the Relic sites,its dangerous enough without having to watch and protect you."
Then Mira saw us enter in."Good your here.Minore,Raye this is Doctor Samuel Wycoff a Relics resercher."She finished just before he threw another fit,completly ignoring us.
"I told you I don't care if I die!But if I'm right then the whole Gurhal System is in terrible danger!I'm NOT taking no for an ANSWER!!"This guy was some kind of determined!Beads of sweat poured down his face and his He looked like a mad-man!
Mira sighed defeted."Alright,we'll take you.BUT if the situation gets too dangerous I will abort the mission.Do I make myself clear?"He wiped the sweat from his brow and nodded."You've no idea how much this means."
"Minore Raye get your stuff ready.We'll be heading over to Moatoob shortly.Doctor you will stay here as to not arouse suspicion.Now meet at the Moatoob PPT gate and we will set off for the Relics you found.Dismissed."
There was something unsettling about this.What did he mean by that 'the whole Gurhal is in danger'?
I looked up at Raye,he was staring off,he must have been thinking the same thing,but...It just felt wrong."Well lets go get ready..And this time Raye DON'T pick up any dangerous items!"I scolded him,I wasn't going to pay for any more damages caused by the dark red headed Beast!
As we exited the GUARDIANS Headquarters I saw the same pink haired CAST from before,the one how thought emotions were worthless.But I was still a little curious about her.
"Hello again."I smiled at her,I don't care if she doesn't have emotions,I'm still going to be nice to her.
"Again?I have not seen you before."She said blanly.Now I was confused,big time."But we-oh never mind."She's a strange little CAST.Raye was just as confused as I was.We decided then to leave.
I went into a small items shop since I had to restock on Trimate,photon charges,and a couple other things while Raye went to get a Line Board.
I noticed the store was a little low on stock."I am very sorry.Recently a SEED crashed into the factory were I get my merchandise.We will be low on stock for quite a while."He said in a mono-tone voice.
"Oh..Well I better get what I can then."I was only able to buy five Trimate and four photon charges from him,not very good considering how dangerous our line of work is.I exited out of the shop and I saw a young male Newman about my age chatting to another.
His hair was deep ebony with icy blue eyes,he had fair skin and he was just a few inches shorter then Raye.His friend had bright red hair and honey colored eyes.
I walked by them and headed over towards the Line Board shop as Raye walked out,we had at least ten minutes till departure.Then Raye's stomach growled.Is he always hungry?
"Well I'm going to go eat you coming?"He asked me,well I might as well."Well there's nothing else to do really.And I'm getting a little hungery myself."
Since there was a small fast food restaurant right next to the items shop we went to it,I sat down at the table while Raye went to get our food ordered.That's when the ebony haired Newman walked over to me -and leaving his friend behind.
"Hello,and might I ask what a lovely Newman such as yourself is doing wandering alone?Its not safe for a young woman to be by herself."He cooed sweetly his blue eyes were calm looking and they looked directly into mine,I started to feel a little uneasy.
"I'm not alone.My friend is getting our food."I told him,he smiled sweetly."Well my name Sandelan.And what might I ask is your lovely name miss?"Did he just bat his eyes at me?
"Minore Sato..And might I ask why have you chosen to speak with me at this time?"I cooed...I was cuious as to why me,he could very well be a sweet-talking crook for all I know.
"Such a beautiful name to match an equally beautiful maiden.I simply just wanted to meet you,a woman whom is as beautiful as a Moatoob wild flower."He is charming,but something just didn't feel right about his aura.
Then Raye came up and laid the food on the table,he looked at the Newman and then at me,he saw how uncomfertible I was.
Sandelan's icy blue eyes turned from gentle to piercing at seeing the Beast."Oh..I didn't know your friend was male..Let alone a Beast."He spoke bitterly,does he have something against Beasts?
Raye took offence to that,his ears twiched back slightly."And just whats wrong with that?"Raye please don't start anything.
"Oh nothing besides the fact that a young lovely Newman like her doesn't belong with filthy Beasts like you.She should be with her own people."He sneered.
Pardon me!?Who does this guy think he is?A Cummunion prince or something?
"OK I don't know what your problem is buddy,but you leave Minore alone!"Raye jabbed his finger at the ebony haired Newman...He was sticking up for me?
"Watch your tounge Beast.All of you filthy Beasts are all the same:Rude,loud mouthed,and nothing but mindless animals!"
"Yeah well if your calling me all that,then your calling yourself that!My mother was a Newman!"Raye jeered at him,the young man's eyes widened before he sneered,his icy blue eyes looked colder then nitrogen.
"Well then tramp,your Newman mother must have been quite the wh-"
"That's enough!OK I don't know you and I don't know where you get off thinking you can just start throwing racial splers and insults at him,but I will NOT sit here and listen to your outlandish talk!"I spat at the him,my words hit home too.But he wouldn't glare at me,but instead he looked sympathetic.
"Well miss Minore..Do you truly wish to waist your time with an awful Beast?Why don't you come with me,a Beast would only harm you,I'd insure you'd live in the lap of luxury,instead of a mongrels pathetic-"I smacked him across the face -not toohard,just hard enough to get his attention-I would not stand for him to say such things about Raye!And how dare he try and woo me too,I am NOT that kind of girl!I wanted him out of my sight,he reminded me too much of Kyo..He kinda talks like him really..
His fingers brushed against the reddening skin gracefully as he looked at me disgusted."You'll regret that wrench!"His icy eyes tore through my very core,I swore up and down that they shot dagers made of pure ice at me.He then turned on his heels and stormed away,I may have made a enemy today.
"Nice hit."Raye chuckled and handed me my Koltova sandwich."Yeah well..There was just something plane wrong about that guy."I still could feel it..Something dark about him,looks can be deceiving.
"Yeah,he was just a racist jurk is all.Well lets hurry up and eat,we don't have long."
"Alright now,we're all ready.Doctor please understand we may not be able to protect you if this gets too dangerous."Mira said as she strapped herself into the Flyer,Samuel nodded.
"Hey Minore,you doing alright?"I was staring out the window at the moment before Raye whispered.
"Yeah.I'm fine..Think we'll run into any Kleko lizards again?"I asked,I had a nightmare last night about them...again.
"Nah,as long as we get out of there before night fall we should be fine."Raye stretched,raising his arms above his head just before putting his arm over me as if it was a reflex.I tried to muffle a giggle as best as I could as he smirked at me.
I looked out my window to the large swamp,memories -both good and bad- flowed through my mind.It wasn't long though before we made it to the Relics site.As soon as we landed -which was VERY hard to do considering how dense the forest was,we actually had to land on a giant branch- Samuel was the first one out,he stood there gawking at the Relics below,slowly stepping a little to close to the edge,he wasn't even paying attention!
Raye quickly grabbed the back of his shirt to keep him from falling."Whoa easy Doc!One more step and you take the quick but painful way there!"He joked and pulled him back,Samuel blinked for a moment then dusted himself off."Right then..Well how are we going to get there?And I for one am not going to harmed."Pardon?I thought he said he didn't care about what would happen to him?
"Well you don't want to do what we did..Although it was fun-OW!"He mocked the yelp when I smacked him on the shoulder lightly and shot a glare to not go there,he doesn't need to joke about that!I nearly drowned!
Mira pulled out a rope ladder and threw it over the edge,it was 30 ft long so it made it all the way down to the swamp floor after a few seconds of falling in mid-air.
Mira started down first with me behind her,the Doctor Samuel with Raye right above him,and in case anyone of us fell we had harness' attached to each of our belts -Raye had a spare belt and gave it to Samuel since all he had on was a white lab coat,jeans,and a black undershirt- and we began our descent down.With each uneasy step down (Rope ladders aren't very sturdy and tend to sway)Samuel was getting more and more impatient,at one point he nearly crushed my hand under his big black boot!And he kept urging us to move faster,did he not get that we're on a rope ladder that is hanging 30 ft from the floor over flood water,and that his constant thrashings could cause anyone of us to fall?And frankly I'm already having a hard time trying not to look down!
"We don't have long!Hur-"I glared up at him as he looked down at me."Your not the one with hight issues pal so give it a rest!"I snapped,if I fall off because of him I'm taking him with me!I'm paranoid enough as is,no way no how am I going to fall into the water like the last time!
The man did the smart thing and kept his mouth shut,I glanced at Mira -she looked happy that I finally got him to be quiet,she was on her last nerves too- Raye looked close to laughing at the man.As soon as we were a few feet away from the watter Mira pulled out a small box,hit a big red button on the top,held onto a small thin cable that was connected to the box,and tossed it into the rapid moving water.
A mid-sized raft -with a surprisingly big motor in contrast to how small the box was- then burst through the water as Mira tried desperately to hold onto the cable,the current was strong enough to pull not only the raft,but it caused to ladder to jerk and almost fling us all off!"Hurry and jump in!Minore you first,try to keep it from being swept away."She calmly ordered even thought she looked like her arm would be torn off.I climbed down right next to her and did as I was told,I started the motor and it purred to life,the current may be fast,but it made hardly any noise.
As soon as the raft was steady Samuel prepared to jump in but stopped."If I fall my death is on your heads!"...I'm a little confused now?I thought he said he didn't care if he died?
Raye rolled his eyes and grabbed Samuel and both jumped into the raft,he wasn't too happy but he chose not to complain.Raye then took my place since I'm not at all good at steering any kind of boat.
As we came closer to the Relics -the water had become even deeper now-but I quickly realized they weren't surrounded by water..The water just flowed around it as if there was an invisible wall surrounding the entrance.
But after taking a closer look I saw that the reason the water by-passed the Relics was because of many gigantic holes about 15 to 20 ft wide -and hidden ever so well under heavy shrubbery,the reason why we didn't see them when we first came by- were dug around the entrance and behind the relics in a circle and cascaded down like giant waterfalls into pitch black chasms,each hole was spaced by about five feet across(Our small raft was only four feet in width) the spaces between each hole was made so that the water that swept between the holes was caught and forced to continue by them till it reached these ducts and flowed inside of the Relic in a fountain-like manner.It was truly a sight to see,but that made getting through all the more dangerous,missing the gaps between the holes meant certain death...What are we going to do now?
"Raye,stop the boat,Minore grab a paddle;same wth you Doctor."She stated,I quickly caught on,we had to use man power to get by,the rafts motor was too small and weak for us to rely heavily on.
"Alright we'll have to time this,Minore on my signal you paddle until I say stop,Doctor Samuel will do the same.Raye your going to have to turn the motor on and off..One false move could cost us our lives."She stood at the front of the raft while Doctor Samuel and I took our ores and placed the tip into the water.
"Alright now Minore!"She yelled out as we came ever closer to the thundering falls,it was impossibly loud,but she still used hand signals,which helped a lot since it became so hard to hear her,I pushed against the current,fighting the water and aiming for the gap in between the dangerous falls,then Mira signaled Samuel to push against the current and for me to slow my pace.Raye was battling the with motor trying to keep it on course,but it was very difficult for him.
Our raft jurked in all directions,debree in the water from the flood had carried giant boulders,giant branches,and many more obstacles.All this made the water speed up and turn into white rapids,making it even more dangerous than already was,if that was even possible.
We faught against the feirce water for so long my arms began to burn like fire with exaust,and the doctor was doing no better.The poor man looked like he was about to pass out!
I pushed against the debree in a desperate attempt to avoid whirlpools that formed around the entrance of the gap,then as the tip of our raft began to slip between the gap we were jolted forward strait into the gap,I tried to paddle but then my ore hit something solid and rock hard to the side.
The gaps were built like canals!The water smoothly flowed down,no water inside the canals spilled down the bottomless pits.I laid the ore in my lap and sighed as the water quickly but gently carried us down to the Relics.
We paddled over to the stare way at the Relics enterance,finally Saumel regained his voice."We're finally here...Amazing,look at this structure!Its simply astounding!Lets hurry and get inside!"He ran hands across the door trying to find a way inside,suddenly his hand pushed into the stone like a button.
A line of grayish dust ran down the middle of the great door as it parted.We all stood with our jaws dropped to the ground in awe.Mira was the first to speak."Alright,lets get inside and doctor please stay with us."She took the lead and entered.As I stepped in,the sight of it was breathtaking.It looked like we had walked into a alien's ship,the entrance was small,very small,in contrast to the inside.
We were in a large chamber,before I could take in the whole thing the doctor started to run off,we quickly ran after him to the other side and to a bridge that crossed over a very large abyss and stopped.When I caught up with him I saw that the bridge never made it to the other side,a seven foot gap kept the doctor from going any further.In between the gap were these hovering footholds,but they didn't look non too sturdy."Please Doctor,stay with us.There's no telling what monsters have made there home here."Mira informed him,the doctor sighed heavily,"Right..Of course,well lead the way then!"
The room was vertically long,as we walked towards one of the large doors on the far side of the room -which was about 300 yards away- I couldn't help but notice that Samuel's eye kept darting around,not as if fearing every shadow but as if we was looking for someone in particular.
When we walked through the door we came into a long hallway,a few feet into the hallway we came to a fork."Which way now?"I asked,Samuel decided for us to go right,why was he in such a rush?I know there have been kidnappings of A-photon researchers but he's not an A-Photon researcher,he's a Relic researcher,he shouldn't be so worked up.
The hallway had these few small statues,they where not much shorter than me,long blades that fromed at the elbow and propped the body up,the blades resembled a praying mantis's blade like front legs.They had these menacing long snouts and a few long fangs poked out of their mouthes,their body color was off white,more like cream.If they were real,they would be very quick and would be able to jumps very long distances with ease -their hind legs were perfectly made for that.
I stared at the statue for a few moments,something about them bugged me...They looked so real..
I leaned in and looked at its big eyes..Its pupil turned to me rapidly and it blinked,and I blinked and shreaked!
It then lunged out at me,knocking to the ground and it pinned me with the sharp tips of its blades stabbing into my shoulders.I cried out in pain as Raye pulled out his long sword and attacked the one that had me pinned as others of the same kind lept out,they easily were able to jump ten feet in the air.
Mira pulled out her Slyrod and Samuel pulled out a large lazer gun and started to fire at the highly fast creatures.
While the monster had me pinned this acid dripped from its fangs,a single small drop fell on my collar bone.It burned the flesh with sering pain,in a desperate attempt to break free I kicked its abdomen as hard as I could,it knocked the air out of it and it staggered back as Raye brought his sword down on its head and killing it.
I quickly got up and pulled out my fire type Dagger and attacked the nearest one,my Dagger locked with one of its blades,it swiped at me with the other.I dodged it,unlocked our blades,did a round house kick to his head,and then stabbed it in the heart while it was still dazed.It died before its body even fell to the ground,I then ran in front of Doctor Samuel in a protective stance."Stay behind me!"I yelled as I sized up against another monster,Raye ran up behind it.Swing and a miss,the monster lept up and landed on his sword,knocking it from his hands.Raye then swung his fist out and punched its sensitive snout,it howled in pain and rubbed the sore spot with the broad sides of its blades.Giving Raye just enough time to grab his sword and kill the thing.Mira had taken out another three while the rest of us were occupied.
"Everyone alright?"Mira asked us,Raye and Samuel nodded.But the acid that dripped onto my collar bone must have been toxic,because I had just fallen to my knees holding the burning flesh,during the fight adrenalin kept me from feeling the pain,but once I calmed down enough I saw just how much damaged was caused.
I looked at the wound and saw that the acid was still bubbling inside the wound,the acid didn't wear off and the whole time had been eating away at my flesh.When it first fell into my collar bone it was about the size of a penny,now its the size of a small fist and bleeding.Raye ran over to me and pulled out this small yellow object that looked like a portable cd-player but quite a bit smaller."This will burn..But It'll stop the progression of the acid."He said softly,this kind of acid couldn't be healed with a TECHNIC.
He pressed the round item to the wound,I bit my bottom lip till I tasted blood,but I could feel it working,it would fully heal the wound and dissovle all of the acid.
We kept our weapons drawn as we continued down and also kept Doctor Samuel between us all to keep him from becoming an easy target.We passed through another large,and well crafted I might add,door.The whole chamber had these red photons floating in the air,so many it made the room glow red.Four massive statues stood at each wall."Svaltus...Never have I seen them so..so well preserved."The doctor sputtered out,the Svaltus stood at least ten feet in height and in their hands was a spear that was about three feet taller than them.This time I picked up a rock and threw it at them.
CLANK!They were stone statues for sure this time.
In the middle of the large chamber was this reddish orange orb -about the size of a soccer ball.Samuel's eyes went wide as he ran and picked up the orb,his mouth was gaping open and his whole bottom jaw quivered."W-What have I done!"He looked terrified."What do you mean Doctor?"I asked him.
"Don't you get it?This is no ordinary artifact,this is an A-Photon Reactor!Do you have any idea what this means!?"He yelled,frightening me a bit."What,A-Photon Reactor?But how would you know that?Your a Reli-"
He sighed."I have not been fully truthful with you.I am no Relics resercher..I'm an A-Photon scientist,and I've doomed us all!"WHAT!?Why would he say he's someone else?
"A-Photons were supposed to be this new fantastic source of energy,regular photon particles are plentiful all over the Gurhal System,they use spirit energy as a catalyst for TECHNICs.By taking our own energy.But A-Photon energy doesn't take spirit energy so they take no energy to use.By making the A-Photons into crystals then decaying them massive amounts of energy is created effortlessly.But look at this!"He held up the glowing orb,"We did not create a new source of energy,don't you see?This Ancient civilization had already created A-Photons!We haven't even created a Reactor this size ever before!"
I couldn't believe my own pointy ears."Doctor calm down please,why does this even matter anyway?"He looked at me,his eyes wide with horror."If a civilization thousands of years more advanced than us was destroyed in a very short matter of time,one that most certainly had far more advanced weapons than we have.How do you think this happen?They created something that destroyed them all!And now I've condemned the entire Gurhal System to the very same terrible fate as well!I helped create the first A-Photon and now I've helped begin armageddon!"He shouted,then the ground began to shake a little as one stone Svaltus began to move!It stepped out and looked at us,then point its spear in our direction.
"Svaltus were said to be guardians of the Relics when the civilization was thriving,they must have awoken when you picked up the Reactor!"Mira shouted,great another unexpected fight!It charged at us,it slammed its spear down just after I dodged it,the force was powerful enough to leave a shallow crater.I used a Photon Art on it's legs and it set up this blinding light barrier!I was sent sprawling as Raye charged and looked his weapon with the Svaltus's spear,Mira shot at it with dark photon TECHNICs with her Slyrod,which did a great deal of damage to it,Samuel stood out of harms way protecting the Reactor while we fought off the Svaltus,I backed away a short distance and pulled out my wand,and like Mira I used dark photons,streams of dark photons rushed forward and hit the monster dead on,that really must have ticked it off.It raised its long arm holding the spear above its head and slammed it into the ground in my direction,sending these bladed hoops right towards me!
No time to dodge them,they hit me hard and fast,they cut into me skin deeply,I growled in pain and sent a volly of TECHNIC attacks at it while Raye slashed at its back,it spun its body around,knocking Raye away from it and then set up another light barrier,this time it healed it self!
Then I saw Mira run at it and drop these small bombs around its feet,pushed a button on her belt making them all explode,then the other three Svaltus came to life!Mira then turned to me."Minore take Samuel and get him out,Raye and I can handle them!"She didn't ask,it was a direct order so I had no choice but to fallow her orders.I looked back at Raye,he flashed that over cocky smile an gave me a quick thumbs up,I prayed they would be alright.
"Stay close and try your bast to keep up!"I told him,he nodded.I spotted another door nearby and we ran to it,before I left I looked back one last time,Raye had just sliced off one of the Svaltus's arms and then decapitated the head.They could take care of themselves,right now I had to protect Samuel.
We ran down mulitple hallways untill we came out to the large room where we had entered,but we were on the other side of the bridge.No time to go back,we might have another run-in with a Svaltus or SEED forums."Doctor hurry,we don't have much time."I spoke softly,the man was shaking terribly,beads of sweat ran down his forehead.
The hovering footholds in the gap should be stable enough for us to cross,I went first.I lept onto the small footholds,it swayed under my feet,I flailed my arms trying to keep balance,I did NOT want to fall,as soon as I could I quickly lept to the other,and repeated until I was on the other side."I-I can't!I can't do it!"Samuel shouted to me,"Yes,you can!Just calm down."He nodded at me and then jumped onto the first platform with very little grace,the orb he held didn't help,I feared it would throw him off balance,he lept again until he was about to leap on the last on,he made it but it gave way under his feet.Time slowed as he started to fall forward,he grabbed onto the end of the bridge.(Thank goodness!)But he dropped the Reactor,at fell into the pitch black abyss.
"NO!The Reactor!"He yelled and reached,I grabbed his other hand and hoisted him up."I'm sorry Samuel.."That's all I could say.He shook his head."No..I should be lucky to be alive right now,thank you Minore."
We just stepped outside -night had already fallen- and we were met by countless blinding lights,I put my arm infront of my eyes to cast a shadow and to see the cause of the blinding lights.
I saw a single huge vessel surrounded by huge spotlights,CAST soldiers poured out of the very large ship and aimed their guns at us,we put our hands up,these CAST were not Alliance soldiers,their armor proved that much.The spotlights made it even more difficult to see the ships entrance,until the door opened back up,a black form of a person walked into view,then he stepped out of the light.
He was a CAST.His outer CAST suit was blood red and the inner suit was pitch black in color,his hair was fine silver in color and pulled back as it shimmered in the bright light.He dawned a deep dark purple cloak,and his eye...No pupils -but that's a common thing among CAST- and glowed white.He seemed perfectly human,his ears where even made like a humans.My eyes glanced at his neck...
My eyes grew from the shock,my heart fell to my stomach and my mouth ran dry,my bottom lips quivered slightly -but not enough for anyone to notice...around his neck -at first glance you'd think it was a tattoo- but I could see that this was no tattoo,not in the least,it was more of a birthmark...An eastern dragon wrapped itself around his neck and clamped onto it's tail in the front like a collar.It was him.
"Sakaguchi Abbott of the Endrum Collective!"Samuel whispered under his breath,Sakaguchi smiled at him,that smile sent shivers down my spine."Samuel Wycoff.If you would please come with me."That voice was so cold and matalic,right then I'd rather face Kyo than even be near this man,the air around his screamed pure dark evil.
"NO!I know what your planning and I will NOT help you!I'd sooner DIE!"Samuel yelled at the man,his evil smile widened a little."Careful what you say Doctor.It just may happen."He spoke coldly,I readied myself for any trouble.Sandelan then stepped out from behind Sakaguchi,he saw me and smirked but he stayed silent.
"Your nothing but evil!Your plans will do nothing but bring chaos to the whole Gurhal System!I will not let you!I will STOP Y-!"Sakaguchi smirked and widened his eyes suddenly.
Then Samuel screamed out in pain and clutched his chest and staggered around,I caught him before he fell,he looked like he was going into cardiac arrest.I held the doctor close,I didn't know what to do!Was he dieing?
"What have you done to him!"I spat at the CAST,he just chuckled at me.
"Why I simply shut off all the nanobots in his blood system causing them to explode inside him."That evil voice seemed full of glee,a small stream of blood poured out of Samuel's mouth,he suddenly grabbed onto my shoulders and stared into my eyes,his honey colored eyes were wide with terror and terrible pain.
"L-Listen to me.You m-must s-s-stop h-im at any cos-cost!He's plan-ning something horr-ib-ible!Please you have to stop Sakaguchi..."His eyes glazed over as the last breath left his lungs and his head fell back.
I couldn't speak,I was shaking,I was terrified.Samuel just died and I couldn't do not one darn thing to save him!!I'm a GUARDIAN!I'm supposed to save lives!And now he just died in my arms and all I could do was watch!
I wanted to scream,a terrible rage filled inside my chest.This man MURDERED him!He took away his right to live!!And all he can do is laugh!He truly is evil!
Then Mira and Raye ran out,when Raye saw me holding the dead Samuel he ran to my side."Minore what the heck happened!?"A small tear ran down my cheek."He was murdered by that CAST."I said dryly,Raye's eyes went even wider before glaring daggers at the man,Sakaguchi turned his back,but still was looking at us over his shoulder.
"Your trespassing on the Endrum Collective's ground,leave now or suffer the same fate as the foolish doctor."I bared my teeth at him.Mira looked at Samuel's body,then nodded to Sakaguchi."We will leave."
I was about to scream at her,how can she say that!But as soon as I opened my mouth Mira held up her hand."We will disscus this when we get to the Flyer."She whispered.
As Sakaguchi walked inside his soldiers fallowed him,Sandelan smiled at me wickedly."You should have came with me,Minore."And he then walked inside.
We easily made it safely back to the flyer,all the water had drained away,so we where able to carry Samuel's body.He needed a proper funeral.Once inside I confronted Mira."Why did you let him go!He KILLED Samuel!"She sighed deeply,she too was just as upset as I was,but being the strong woman that she is she didn't show it.
"Because we were outmatched and he would have killed us all.Sakaguchi is the leader of the Endrum Collective and also has immunity,even if you testified against him it still would be enough..The Endrum Collective is a secretive communion,they deal with the Relics and can be very ruthless,but they very rarely have anything to do with GUARDIANS..and we don't know at all much about them...I'm sorry,Minore."She then went to the pilots chair and started the G-Flyer.I curled up into my seat with my chin on my knees,the whole horrible scene replayed over and over so many times in my head it made me want to vomit.I kept my eyes shut.
The way he just died right in my arms,the way his eyes glazed over,and how his head fell back,and how his body stiffed and grew cold in my arms..and I couldn't do anything at all..I felt so weak and helpless,I knew crying wouldn't bring him back,I had failed him..
I fought back the tears as best as I could as the G-Flyer began to lift off,but a few hot tears spilled out of my closed eyes against my will.Then I felt a warm rough hand cup my cheek and a thumb wipe away the tears,I opened my eyes to see Raye."You ok?"Deep concern laced his voice."I was too weak.I felt so darn helpless..And all that monster could do was laugh the whole time..If I was stronger I could have maybe helped him.I could have stopped him."
Raye then put his arms around me and pulled me close in an embrace."Your not a weak person,Minore..Your strong and a fighter.There was nothing any of us could have done..Just please,don't blame yourself for what happened."He comforted me.I felt safe and warm in his arms,I wanted to believe him."Thank you,Raye."I whispered as his grip around me tightened.
"So what's keeping you from getting stronger then?You may have failed but that doesn't mean the end.Just pick yourself up and don't stop."He spoke like his usual cocky self,I smiled weakly at him.
"You have to stop Sakaguchi.."Believe me Samuel..I will.
Minore: Worst Birthday ever..
Raye: Whoa..Gosh girl you scare me sometimes!
Me: ...Even I'm speechless and I made this!REVIEW PLZ or Sakaguchi will pay you a little visit!AND YOU DON'T WANT THAT!
