Chapter 4

Escaping, Counsel, and Nightmare

~Kenji's POV~

Each time I try to remember of what is my past, I was just... blank.

"You'll never find your memories this way..." A voice said.

In my thoughts, I saw the fire was tried to attack me from before.

"Miss me?" he asked.

"Who are you?" I asked.

"You'll to learn the secrets of me when the better you get either your memories or powers. Either way, I will continue my thing what I have always been doing." it said chuckling.

"Shut up." I growled out loud.

"Who are you talking to?" Su's voice said.

I open my eyes and see Su standing by me.

"Buzz off. It's none of your business." I said looking away.

"It will be my business. My home is my business." she said lifting my chin up to face her.

I move my face away from her and look at my chains.

"I can take you down here and now, but I rather not." I said playing with my chains.

"And why is that?" she asked.

"Is because you are mortals and I'm a conduit." I said, "Which means it wouldn't be fair. Even for my super strength."

"True. Too bad you will be executed tomorrow." she said.

This time, I look up and see that she was serious.

"What? You thought I was kidding?" she asked.

"I'll get out when I can." I said.

"If you can." she said.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Those are not just ordinary chains, Kenji. They're magic. They can repel any magic. Especially your little conduit powers and your strength." she said leaving, "See you tomorrow."

I tried to pull out of the chains and when I did, they wouldn't come off. I pulled harder and they still wouldn't budge. I focus on my arms and let lightning crawl through my arms, but it backfires and electrocutes me.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGG GGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!"" I roared.

I begin to pant after my screaming and look up.

I'm in big trouble. I thought. I gotta get out of here.

I tried everything, but it wouldn't work at all. All of my powers, are just now a piece of junk, for now. I could not think of anything for the last few hours and I had only had 3 more hours until the execution. But then I hear the door open and I thought it was Su again.

"What do you want this time?" I asked.

"I want you to escape." Wing's voice said.

"Wing?" I replied.

She comes out of the shadows with a key and unlocks my shacks.

"You need to get out of here, now." she said.

"But why are you helping me?" I asked.

"Don't ask, just go. Before my sisters are going to come." she said.

"Come with me." I said.

"What?" she replied, "I can't. I have to stay here."

"But if you stay, they'll figure out that you did that." I said.

"There's no time! Go!" she pleaded.

But then Kenji takes her hand and starts to run.

"W-where are you taking me?" she asked.

"Taking you with me." Kenji said.

But then things start to shut down, gates closing and doors shutting tight.

"We're trapped!" Kenji exclaimed.

"My, my, my sister. You have betrayed us." Su's voice said.

"Su!" Kenji growled.

"Seize them!" she commanded.

And then these wolves and rhinos starts to come out of the shadows and start to grab Kenji and Wing. But Kenji resists and knocks the wolves out.

"Let go!" Wing shouted.

"NO!" Kenji shouted.

Kenji shoots out two lightning bolts at her enemies and they went flying. When Kenji turns around, Su kicks him in the air and another at the ground. Kenji spits out a little bit of blood on Su's clothes and groans.

"Lights out." she said smiling.

Then she kicks Kenji in the face and Kenji was totally knocked out.

"I'll deal with you later, Wing." Su said, "Take them to the prison cell and lock Kenji tight."

~Shadow's POV~

Just as I returned back from the Council, I was beginning to wonder and being worried of where my master had went.

"I should ask him." I said to myself.

I open the portal and went over to the Throne room. I stand in the Circle and kneel on one knee.

"My lord." I called out.

"What is it?" he asked.

"I require your Council, your help. I cannot find my master for some reason." I explained.

"Why can't you?" he asked.

"My apologies, but I don't know. I used our ability, 'Dark Eye', but it would seem that I can't reach or get through him." I said.

"Hmmmm... I know where he is." The lord said.

"Tell me!" I exclaimed.

"Do you remember where he went?" he asked.

"Well, I remember him leaving the ship and went to..." I said.

"An Island." he said, "He's held by three tiger sisters."

"Thank you, my lord." I said.

"My pleasure. Now go." he said.

I bow down my head and start to run out to the portal. But the scent or energy that I felt when Master touched me. It felt like... I don't know and I don't want to know.

Just as I got back to the ship, I ran to Tenzen's room and shake him out of his sleep.

"What? Shadow?" he called out.

"Get up. Kenji's in trouble." Shadow said.

"Then let's go!" he exclaimed getting up and getting ready.

~Kenji's POV~

~Dream/Nightmare~

When I open my eyes, all I saw was total darkness everywhere. All of a sudden, my head starts to be filled with unknown multiple screams in terror and sword shredding through flesh. I hold my head and things just appear right in front me. One was a village burning and people running away past me. They felt very real when they bumped and running past by me. I look ahead and saw what scared the people, which was just a red fire in the air. Things start to disintegrate into these hideous monsters that I have not ever seen. It didn't seem like an animals. Like an... evil creatures. they start to run at me until they disintegrate right through me. I shield my eyes away from the dust until I saw the red fire again. I start to clutch my fist and shoot a lightning bolt from my hand at the fire, but it dodges my attack. It passes by me and shows a person chained like I was back at the Wu sister's dungeon. He, or it, almost looks a lot like... me. He moves his head up and blinking a few times until he gives me a glare with red eyes. I took a step back away until he races up at me, grabs me, and pulls me back. But then these dark arms pulls him away from me and pushes me off of him. He start to growl and snarl at me, trying to get me.

"What do you want from me?" I asked calmly.

But then he stops and calms down. He start to pant, trying to catch his breath until so suddenly, he bursts out laughing very loud.

"What do I want from you? Is your soul!" it snarled.

I back up until he disappears and again, everything was pitch black. I look behind and see Tigress being hung by chains.

"Tigress!" I exclaimed.

"Kenji, help!" she said.

But then, she disappears too and reappears behind me. I turn and all of a sudden, she stabs through me. I cough constantly and start to feel woozy. But then I look at my wound and it was gone, but my leftover blood on my chin was still there. I wipe it off and I thought it was just an illusion like all others that keeps on disappearing on me.

"They're not illusions." the voice said.

I look to my side and then there was the 'me' again. He stabs me with a sword and pushes deeper.

"They are... memories. Yours and mine." he said smiling evilly.

He takes out the sword and punches me in the air, which then, I land on my back. I look up until I see the sword near my whiskers.

"You're weak. You don't have enough rage or guts to fight back to kill." he said.

"Shut up!" I snarled while coughing blood a bit.

"Again, you're weak, broken. Like now. You're half-dead already by me. Such a shame." he said.

But then these strange feelings around me start to creep me.

"Uh, oh." he said looking left to right.

A dark hood figure then came with a scythe. The 'me' and I look at him with a exclaim look.

"So it was your energy that I felt." he said.

"Know your place." he said raising his hand.

Then the 'me' went flying back and was in the air with dark chains and dark arms holding him. The hooded man puts his hand down and looks at me.

"Who are you?" I asked.

"Your savior, for now." he said walking up to me.

"Then, wait-!" I exclaimed until he touches my forehead and I just start to feel really tired.

Like is it just me, or Kenji is really having a hard time thinking or dreaming while being held and Shadow doesn't know where his master is until he gets advices from his Lord. Stay tone and again, I'm so, so, sorry for the waiting.
