Sisterly Love Chapter 3: Saviours
Fang peeked around the corner of the wall to see an armed patrol of six PSICOM guards came walking towards her thats the fifth one so far this place is on maximum security they must be expecting
us Fang thought as she quickly made her way across the street and into a dark corner. She waited for the patrol to pass and then continued making her way back to the others. Ten minutes later
she approached the four sitting on the grass looking extremely bored.
"Well it's about time you showed up I thought you were a goner." Vanille said to her cousin from her laying position as Fang took a seat.
"It doesn't look to good there on maximum lock down but it seems sloppy we should be able to sneak by." Fang told the group and watched as Serah examined Lightning's Blaze Edge.
"Then lets go." Serah said looking up from the sword and into Fang's eyes. Fang nodded and they all stood up and made their way over to the stone wall blocking their path.
"How do you expect me to get up there I'm a pretty big guy." Snow complained as Vanille just hopped up it like a monkey. Minutes later they were on the other side looking out for patrols as they
made their way over to the secret PSICOM Headquarters which looked like a regular business building.
"It's locked." Serah stated as she attempted to open the back door. Vanille bounded over to a window accessible by climbing the adjacent building.
"Wait here fellas I'm on the case." the cheery girl smiled as she began scaling the building which was like a mountain compared to her size, a couple minutes later she made a jump onto the roof
where she cautiously opened the window and peered inside. Then Vanille gave the group the thumbs up sign and silently jumped down behind enemy lines, Vanille scanned the room quickly
darting over to the locked door but before she could open it a guard came in only to be met with a arrow in the forehead as he dropped silently to the floor. Vanille quickly opened the door and
ushered the others in "quick! Snow hide his body." she said quickly as Snow ran over and and threw the body in a nearby garbage disposal.
"Alright now Fangy! wheres the secret entrance?" Vanille asked cheerfully using her older cousin's much hated nick name.
"In the furnace room." Fang said as she took the lead towards the secret passage, two quick turns and they were there.
"This is a stupid place for a hidden passage." Snow complained, as Fang shot him an angry look.
"Touchdown Rams!" everyone turned to Sazh upon hearing the electronic device.
"Yes!" Sazh cheered while fist pumping oblivious to the looks everyone was giving him "21-14 with two minutes to go all right!" he continued.
"Sazh shut up already." Fang snapped, as she put her key she kept from her time in the sanctum in a hidden door and ushered the rest in.
Lightning was exhausted she had been lying there trying to sleep for a couple of hours now but to no avail was still wide awake damn Yaag where the hell are you she thought helplessly bored
out of her mind. Then her thoughts went to Serah thinking about her precious little sister made her feel sad not being with her knowing that she is worried out of her mind didn't help one bit.
Lightning let out a sigh into the tape as her fatigue caught up with her and she fell asleep.
After about an hour of traversing the passageway Serah became lost in her thoughts about Lightning I wonder how she's feeling God she makes me worry so much! I'll have to give her an earfull
when we save her."Serah?" Snow's voice snapped her out of her thoughts "keep worrying like that and you'll get an ulcer." Serah gave him a look and said
"I'm not an old lady Snow." Snow just chuckled and the two continued to follow Fang in silence. After a few moments Serah looked up at Snow and asked
"Do you think we'll find her? do you think she's alright? I can't live without her." Serah felt tears beggining to well up in her eyes.
"Of course we will! plus she can take care of herself." Snow stated wrapping his arms around Serah as she silently wept.
Lightning was woken up by the sound of the door opening and closing, she heard armoured footsteps approach her and seconds later the blindfold was removed. Lightning blinked her eyes
rapidly as they were assaulted by the sudden light after so much darkness. Oh just a simple grunt Lightning thought This is my chance to escape she innocently looked up at the armoured man
her eyes silently begging him to untie her. After a few moments of the man ogling her gorgeous body he proceeded to untie her Thats it are all men this easy? she couldn't help but think at his
stupidity. "Ahh!" Lightning gasped as the tape was ripped off her mouth, she watched him untie her legs after thoroughly rubbing them then he freed her hands.
"Um thanks?" Lightning said her voice hoarse from the tight collar "Can you please take this off it's killing me." Lightning pleaded with the grunt.
"Sure." the man said as he leaned in towards her, Lightning smiled sweetly as the man took off her collar. The second it came off her throat she leapt at him and knocked him to the ground with a
swift kick to the head, but the man was allot tougher than she thought as he quickly jumped up and when Lightning went to punch him in the face he caught her hand and twisted her arm
behind her back, Lightning grit her teeth as she was slammed into the wall still not fully recovered from her beating the air rushed out of her lungs leaving her momentarily immobilized.
"Thought I was that easy huh? than I guess your as naive as you look." he taunted as he held her against the wall. Finally getting her breath back Lightning put up a struggle but got no where
he was too strong. Lightning hung her head in defeat and when the soldier saw this he spun her around to face her.
"So you ready to do what I say young lady?" he mocked, Lightning's eyes shot up blazing with anger.
"No!" she snarled as she brought her knee up with as much power as she could right into his groin. The grunt fell to the ground groaning Lightning wasted no time in knocking him out.
Okay I'm one step closer to getting out of here Lightning thought as she rested her hands on her knees to catch her breath before running out the door.
Fang had just removed the cover from the passage before they heard and saw a platoon of PSICOM soldiers running right past them.
"Looks like little sister got tired of waitingaround for us." Fang said with a smile as the others climbed out of the tunnel.
"Well lets go she has to be in that direction." Serah said while running after the soldiers. The rest of the group followed as they quickly avoided the enemy guards while keeping a fast pace.
After a series of complicated turns through the labyrinth known as the PSICOM headquarters they turn one last corner and saw.
It was only a couple of seconds before the guards found out that Lightning had escaped and she could already hear their distant footsteps pounding against the floor.
Despite the aches and pain her sore body continued to run as fast as it could carry her, run bitch run is all that went through her mind but one thing was certain and that is that she does NOT
want them to catch her again. Lightning made a quick left and was met by a wall of PSICOM elites, Lightning came to a quick halt, normally if she wasn't hurt she could easily jump and flip over
them but not in her current condition. After a few seconds the guards who were pursuing her came to a stop and blocked her way back. Lightning grasped her pendant that was around her neck
ducked her head and squeezed it, she normally did this when she is nervous. Suddenly Lightning thought of an idea and started fishing around in her bag strapped to her left leg.
"FREEZE!" one of the guards shouted trying to intimidate her but she kept trying until she felt the smooth surface of her Odin Gem.
"Raise your hands!" another guard shouted, Lightning obeyed raising her hands while keeping the precious gem hidden in her grasp.
"On your knees!" the first guard shouted, whats with all the shouting they look like idiots doing that. Lightning thought as she got on her knees. Then one of the PSICOM elites began to walk
towards her, and as he neared, Lightning carefully rolled the Gem in her hand and pierced the center with her fingernail. A bright pink flash blinded the PSICOM elite's as Lightning's Eidolon
Odin quickly jumped into battle breaking his sword in half and handing one to Lightning. Just then Serah turned the corner to see her older sister surrounded by an overwhelming number of
enemies. "Lightning!" she screamed as Lightning began to fight off the enemy forces, from behind Serah, Sazh began firing rounds into the soldiers making some drop with expertly aimed
shots. Snow started pounding away at the crowd of enemies with his fists as Vanille started casting elemental magic on the soldiers, Fang jumped in with Serah and the two began slicing their
way towards Lightning who continued to fight despite her banged up body. After minutes of fighting the man from before who Lightning escaped from was able to sneak up on the unsuspecting
girl and give he a swift blow to the back of the head knocking her out cold. At this time Fang and Serah had just busted through the wall of enemies and saw the man about to finish Lightning
off but before he could do it Serah plunged Blaze Edge into his cold cruel heart. Fang quickly scooped Lightning up into her arms and began running back to her battling allies.
"Let's go!" she shouted to the others as they began running back to the passage, when they got their they full out sprinted to the end and quickly got to the outskirts of Eden.
After they were out of harms deadly reach Fang decided they should camp out in the nearby forest, as they set up camp with supplys Snow ram back and got from Fang's van
Fang put Lightning in the tent and sat by her sleeping back watching her sleep.
"Is she alright?" Serah asked the older girl as she came in from the campfire outdoor and sat beside her watching her older sister's sleeping form.
"Yeah, she's just unconcious I can't believe we got her out of there." Fang said as she began to pet Lightning's long hair.
"When will she wake up?" Serah asked another question, Fang turned to her and replied
"Soon, I'll leave you two alone for some privacy." She told Serah as she got up and went to sit by the fire. Serah looked at Lightning before giving her a big long hug as she whispered into
her ear "I love you big sister."
