The commander reached the glade long before dusk arrived along with the necklae. He sat down below the same tree he had been under the night before and just started transfixed at Daisuke's image.
Daisuke's body was slowly being wrapped in tendrils of black vines and as the commander watched they finished snaking around his arms and legs, then began to wrap around his midriff.
"Oy commander!" Dark called an hour later just before dusk. "Ya out there"
"Yes Dark." He said sadly as he stood up and walked out from below the tree. "We have to hurry after the sun sets"
"Whats the rush now? I know we need him out but why are you panicking"
"Look." The necklace was tossed to Dark.
Dark looked tentavily into the necklace and saw the vines wrapped around Dais arms legs stomach and almost all of his cheat. "Why isnt he moving"
"I believe hes in an induced sleep." was the reply. "Thirty minutes is all the time thats left until we can start"
"Good"
They stood still for a few minutes then the commander began flipping through the book. "This rune here is going to be needed. Then this one must be drawn in the middle of it. The runes for summoning and release. After that we have to say the incription for it"
Dark nodded and began drawing the runes from the book. He stopped drawing when he came across a complex part but pushed foward anyway, knowing he had to do it for Daisuke.
The half hour passed quickly and when Dark was done with the rune the commander was ready with the incription.
"Ready Mousy"
"Yes"
Dark stood up beside the commander and waited for him to start the chant.
"Marune Irue ochiru"
"Marune Irue ochiru"
"Kamier luir remasu"
"Kamier luir remasu"
"Isar metoq vurlir"
"Isar metoq vurlir"
"Fumasu wanteria zirateru"
"Fumasu wanteria zirateru"
The complex runes glowed brightly and made the ground rumble. Dark and the Commander flinched as the light got even brighter and shielded their eyes.
Pulsing vibrations of magic shot toward the two, hitting them so hard they fell to the ground.
All of a sudden the light got almost white as screams errupted from different places.
As the light finally faded the commander stod up and looked around.
"Niwa!" He called as he walked to the boy still wrapped in vines of purest black.
The commander noticed the boy had the necklace around his neck and it seemed to be back to the green it had been before taking him in.
"Niwa?" The commander asked as he crouched down to wipe some of the boys sweat filled red hair out of his face, then noticed where the vines were there were tiny puncture wounds like they were from thorns.
Daisuke groaned and opened his eyes to look at the commander. "Hi-wa-tari"
"Yeah, its me Niwa"
Daisuke sat up a little bit and saw another body "Dark"
Dark groaned and sat up, giving Dai a one hundred watt smile. "You're back, little buddy"
Dai turned his head to look behind Satoshi where somethingelse laid on the ground. "Krad"
Both Dark and Satoshis head snapped to the fourth body, that was out cold.
Satoshi stood up and walked over to Krad. "Im glad I got you to magic proof these." He said before snapping a pair of handcuffs around Krads wrists.
Dark grunted as he stood up. "What a wild ride"
"Dark shut up and get me out of here"
"Oh yeah. Sorry Dai." Dark said as he walked over to Daisuke.
After ten minutes Dark got one of Dai's arms loose and began working on the other, but stopped. "Dai"
"Yeah"
"Your clothes are white." They were briliantly white and fit Daisuke nicely.
His clothes were tight and yet loose. The shirt was cut low to show part of his tanned chest and his pants hugged his waist making anyone imagine below.
"Odd. Never seen 'em before"
"The necklace gave them to you i guess." Dark said. "Oy! Commander! Give us some help here"
Satoshi walked over and squatted beside Daisuke and began to work on freeing his left leg while Dark worked on his right arm.
When the vines were pulled off of Dai's left arm the sleeve had no holes in it but his skin was punctured like a pin cushion. All Dark would say was 'odd'
"Moms gonna shoot us, you know Dark"
"Yeah. She'll live though...I hope"
Dai was about to reply but Satoshi's hand touched his upper thigh making him flinch from the touch.
"Sorry." Was all Satoshi would say about it.
Not much later Dai was unwrapped and stood up slowly to test if his legs would give out from all the puncture wounds since they were the first things to get wrapped up.
He grunted and flinched but forced himself to stay standing. Dark walked over to help him but Dai refused the help.
"Im fine Dark. Just a little sca...and never mind. Ill tell you later. Hiwatari"
"Yeah"
"Thank you. Thanks for cooperating with Dark to get me out"
Satoshi gave him a small smile. "Thats what friends do"
"Thank you though"
By that time Krad was awake and growling at Dark.
Now you know who the commander is...Expect it? Tell me. Is Dai okay? What will they do with Krad?
