Chapter 5: Memories Lie Unforgotten.
The captain of the Bladebreakers decided to return to the inhabited campsite filled with worried young boys. He walked away from his tranquil site and melancholy drifted onwards. It was still early morning as birds flew from low tree to high tree to sing their dawn song.
Still reminiscing his past, the depressed blunette remembered his days in the abbey. Before he became alone and unwanted to when he gained regrets and nightmares. Something he would never forget or just drop then leave behind. As he walked through the sodden leaves and crunchy cracking branches towards his destination he had a wave of nostalgia on the way....
-Flashback-
"Don't cry Lani," whispered a husky brave younger version of Kai.
"I'm afraid," a small voice answered his request. Truthfully he was petrified as well but to show it would me like murdering hope.
"I'll protect you; I'll never leave you behind."
"Thanks." Short delicate arms encircled Kai's waist, in response to her caring action, as a protective brother would he held her tight.
A year later...
"Sir, unfortunately the test will only work if the children are genetically perfect, and the upcoming experiment requires total accuracy..." informed a very weary and frightened scientist.
"Do whatever you can to get it done! I want those two to be perfect! I need my weapons!" Screamed a hateful masculine voice that would make you tremble till you dropped and would go through you then shatter your bones.
"But sir! That's impossible. Under these high pressures the equipment will be unstable and well...the girl..."
"Nothing is impossible! I don't want excuses! Wait...what about the girl?" The angry and frustrated façade evaporated at the mention of his grand daughter. He used to know the meaning of love. Now it being so hard to believe there being no emotion on his face whatsoever. But things changed when a fatal accident occurred to his family leaving behind two grandchildren. He decided he would take back his family. His family was worth the world; and he wanted it. This led him to insanity.
"She will either become void of all she is now, or her own system may fail under all the pain, sir, she could die..." the last three words the scientist could hardly say. The words curled their fists around his heart and clenched it securely squeezing it. As if they were punishing his heart for the lack of conscience; because he was working for a ridiculously rich insane old man, making his heart shriek with woe. The girl, the girl he knew. That sweet innocence he would betray. The once last step to purity, to the angels above was her. She resembled a little angel with baby blue hair and amethyst sparkling eyes; that hadn't yet fully bloomed with wings. And he was forced to take it all away....had to.
"Kai?"
"Yes Lani?"
"I know they'll take me away soon, I know I'm needed for their sick little experiment."
"Bu-"
"I just want to know..." the petite shadow asked hurriedly, "will it hurt?"
"I won't let them take you!"
"I have to go, I need to stop them."
"NO! You don't have to I will!"
"Kai please!Promise me you won't interfere!"
"I promised mom I would keep you safe! I promised you I wouldn't leave you behind! I'll never go back on my word!"
"Please listen to me, take this, mommy gave it to me," Kaelani thrust a pendant into Kai's hand, it filled the whole of his hand as it was abnormally large. The silver and white gold sparkled with elegance and the amber case shone even in the dark. It contained what looked to Kai like two metal plates with pictures of birds drawn onto them. One was black and the other a vibrant red. While the curious boy held the pendant the pieces glowed phenomenally, the colours they were. The brilliant light gave life to the birds on in the amber and Kai could now make out the intricate detail of the two birds. They proved to be much more; two majestic phoenixes.
"Kai, this is Dranzer. The two birds are one, never to be torn apart. Both are strong but together unstoppable. They are what balanced the Hiwatari family for so long and must never separate. I'm certain that's one thing Voltaire wants me for, he wants black Dranzer. You don't need to promise me anything but this, keep them safe, away from him. Never let them be apart, then no harm will come..."
-End Flashback-
Kai never understood what she meant by that, but still, keeping his word, no one ever tore the two phoenixes apart. There was only one time when Boris had possession of Black Dranzer. Making Kai himself drop all guards, to go to all depths to get it back, and then be drawn to its power and beauty. Its perfection.
He never forgot what happened that night in the cell, what ripped his heart out and threw it out the window, to let it fall in to a lake of sharks. Just to tear it to pieces hungrily.
-Flashback-
"Kaelani, I don't understand what your telling me." A young Kai asked fully confused.
"Trust me; I know you'll understand soon onii-chan." Kai looked deep into his sibling sincerely,
"I trust you."
Suddenly, a shocking and ear-piecing clang was heard, making the two jump with surprise. Following this an ear-aching straining scraping was heard (Like nails on a chalkboard ugh!) going right through them. The key turned and the door clicked then opened. It swung open banging on the plaster wall loosening the cheap paint; it slid onto the floor and fell with a clump. The sounds were unbearable.
"Kaelani, your needed."
"NO! She's not going!" Kai declared.
"You have no choice," said the burly looking guard, "she must go now!"
"Kai will it hurt?"
The blunette was now trembling with rage and he pulled his younger sister towards him, clutching her in his arms so that it would be a struggle to tear them apart.
"You little brat!" With that said the guard used all his force and swung the door shut with a terrifying bang and dragged Kaelani off like a rag doll. She kicked and screamed and bit his hand but to no avail. She was helpless.
"Kai remember what I said K-...." Was all Kai heard when the metal entrance closed in front of his face.
Left alone, cold in a dark room with no bed, a daunting brick wall holding moss to lean on, Kai whimpered and sobbed. For he knew what pain awaited and it would be too much for his angel to bear. Dropping helplessly to his knees he mourned. Tears leaked from his red puffy eyes, unstoppable, endless tears. Kai could hear the excruciating, agonizing screams coming from within the experimental room. They were there, and then they were gone...
