You find out the mystery of Yira and Ryo.
Chapter 8: Backfired Plan
Hours later, they were in the Magic Guild Mansion. Everyone surrounded Nall to wait for directions.
"Alright, lets take our places!" Nall said, "Ruby's the bait. Me, Hiro, Ronfar, and Jean are going with her to make sure her Aura isn't taken. Lemina will come to place the tracking spell on them. Everyone else will go to the basement to protect Ebony and make sure no one goes down there. If someone does, send Lucia to come get us. Everyone okay with that?"
Ruby sighed and went to the roof with Nall, Hiro, Lemina, Ronfar, and Jean. Leo, Lucia, Sapphiren, and Ebony went into the basement.
"Nall, I'm nervous, what if you and everyone else don't make it in time?" she said nervously.
"I..."
He glared at the door to the downstairs, which was where everyone else was hiding in already. They were listening to their conversation.
"Hold on," he said walking over to the door.
Nall put his sword in the door's handles so the doors couldn't open. He smirked as he heard them yell and scream and try to open the door.
"Humans are so predictable. I knew they'd make too much noise to even hear what was going on," He snickered. The he looked at Ruby and shrugged, "I wanted privacy."
He glanced around nervously and leaned in to kiss Ruby. However, Nall accidentally kissed her on her nose. He growled and turned red, embarassed.
"I've never kissed anyone before..."
"That's okay, you'll learn!"
"Except for that one time when I kissed Mia..."
"Don't start..."
"Anyway, the main point is that I want you to know that I will always protect you, no matter what, so you have nothing to worry about, okay? I promise."
"Thank you..." Ruby whispered, "I hope this works...for you and Sapphiren's sake...but why me?"
"We voted on you because you have a big mouth. If you scream the whole world'll here you!"
"Hey!"
"And I voted for you because I love you and my will to save you is greater. It's like a guarantee that you'll be safe. Of course, I still would have tried to save Ebony, but my anger is sorta my strength, ya know?" he said, "but remember, if you get nervous, just hum Althena's Theme. It'll soothe you and stuff."
Nall gave her a hug and walked toward the door.
"I DID kiss Mia you know..." he said looking back at Ruby with a smug look, "but I was a baby...she only thought of me as her adorable little brother that just happened to look like a cat."
She laughed as he took the sword out of the handles and went inside. They let Lemina go out to the roof and put up an invisiblity spell so she could hide and left the door cracked so they could see. Ruby began to hum Althena's Theme, to calm her nerves. He watched Ruby carefully and just listened to Ruby's humming, which turned into singing.
'Wow, Ruby sings almost as well as Luna and Lucia,' Nall thought, 'well, she is Luna's creation and it's only natural that Luna's creation can sing almost as good as her.'
They sat for a while, waiting for Yira and Ryo to come. However, no one came.
"Are you sure they're coming?" Jean whispered.
"Yeah, they wouldn't pass up a chance like this, even if it does seem like a trap..."
Just then, Ryo appeared behind Ruby. Everyone turned their attention to the roof. Nall got into a pouncing position, ready to get him at any time.
"What a pretty song, little Dragon..."
Ruby stopped singing and turned around. She frowned and stood her ground.
"Quit calling me that!" Ruby screamed, "Just because I'm the youngest doesn't mean I'm little!"
Ryo chuckled as his retractable claws lengthen. Ruby blinked and started looking around nervously.
'Hurry Lemina...'
"We have to help her!" Nall hissed.
"No Nall! We have to let Lemina put the spell on him!" Hiro whispered, grabbing Nall's arm.
Lemina was slowly walking toward Ryo, trying not to make a sound. She took out her wand and waved it over Ryo's head, casting the spell. The sparkles above his head was a dead giveaway that she had casted the spell. Ryo looked up and swung his claws blindly at Lemina. He cut Lemina's face as she fell back and dropped her wand. The blood from her cut made her presence known. Ryo growled and started to try and stab at the ground near the floating blood. Lemina screamed as his sharp claws narrowly missed her and tore pieces of her robe. Ruby tried to slink away, since she was helpless as a human, but Yira appeared and grabbed her by her arms.
"Hey! Let me go, you slut!" Ruby yelled.
"I'm not a slut! For that, I'll be sure that when I take your Aura, you'll be in a world of pain!"
She writhed in the woman's grip. Yira just laughed.
"That cutie is too good for you! You can't even protect yourself! You're just a burden on him!" Yira whispered in her ear, "you don't deserve him...he deserves to be with a real woman...you scrawny little runt!"
Ruby stopped wiggling and looked down, making Yira smile.
'She's right...I AM a burden...' she thought sadly.
Nall growled and jumped up, sending Hiro falling down the stairs.
"Come on!"
As Nall, Hiro, Jean, and Ronfar came out from their hiding spaces, Lemina despelled the invisibility spell, revealing herself and her tattered clothes. The dress below her waist was shredded, showing her legs and the sleeve part of it was torn off, leaving only the other sleeve to keep it on her. Her robe was literally hanging on by a thread. Ronfar whistled at her.
"I didn't know you had such a great body!"
"Shut up prevert!" Lemina yelled, "aren't you supposed to be married!"
"Yeah...I am!"
"Now's not the time to joke around!"
Nall glared at Ryo.
"Well, well, well...we meet again!"
"Give up your mission and give the Auras back!"
"You know," Ryo said, "you don't really threaten me. Your powerless! All you can do is physical combat and I will definately overpower you!"
"Well let's see about that!" Nall said unsheathing his sword, "y'all get Yira...I'll take care of this bastard right here."
As Hiro charged toward Yira with his sword, Jean held him back.
"Hiro, this calls for strategy. She has Ruby so if you just charge in, she'll probably use her as a shield and you might wind up hurting Ruby instead," Jean whispered.
"What do we do then?" Ronfar said.
"Be careful when we strike?" Lemina said shrugging.
"That's crazy but I can't think of anything else..."
They walked over to Yira and Ruby carefully.
"One more step and I'll kill her!"
They couldn't do anything but stop. Ruby stared at a ground, thinking of a way to get out of her grip.
'Wait, if I turn into my bigger form, she won't be able to hold me!'
She closed her eyes and began to glow a bright red light. Yira looked at her confused.
"What's going on!"
Ruby changed into the elegant Red Dragon. She whipped her tail at Yira, causing her to fly into a nearby wall. Just as she was about to torch the evil woman, Lemina screamed.
"No! The mansion's messed up enough! Don't burn it down too!" she yelled, "and turn back into your human form before you put another hole in the roof! I just got it fixed!"
With a frown, she turned back into her human form. Meanwhile, Nall was fighting Ryo, his sword against Ryo's sharp claws.
"When I'm through with you, I'll rip those claws from your fingers one by one!" Nall growled as he slashed at Ryo.
Ryo attempted to dodge Nall's attack, but he succeeded in cutting Ryo's arm. He touched his wound and began laughing.
"What's so funny?"
"You see, while you only have a sword, I have magic."
He raised his good arm and fired a blast of ice at Nall. Nall quickly used his sword to deflect the energy away from him. Ryo growled.
"This sword...was my friend Kyle's...it was blessed with Althena's magic. It can reflect anything you can throw at me!" Nall bragged.
"Ryo, forget him," Yira said as she got up and stumbled over to him, "you know what we need."
He raised an eyebrow at her then smirked.
"Yes, you're right...."
Ryo turned to Ruby, who had just turned back into her human form, and began mumbling some inaudiable words. Nall was about to run over to him when Yira grabbed his arm.
"Come on cutie. Why do you love that little brat, when you could have me?"
Nall scoffed and pushed her away. By that time, a giant ball of dark matter had materialized in his hand.
"You're coming with us little Dragon!"
Ruby turned around and froze with fright as the energy ball barreled toward her.
'I won't let them take her,' Nall thought as he ran toward her, 'not just because I have to save the world...but because I have to save her too!'
He got to her and threw her out of the way, just to be caught in a solid forcefield himself. The forcefield surrounded and trapped him inside the bubble-like area. Ruby tumbled onto the floor and looked up at the ball. He frowned and punched the forcefield, trying to break it.
"Nall! What do you think you were doing!!" Ruby screamed, "you IDIOT!"
He stopped, looked at her, and smiled sadly. She got up and stared at him, her eyes becoming glassy as she tried to hold back her tears.
"Are you saying it's idiotic to love you? That's why I saved you."
"Oh Nall..."
"If you never see me again, at least you'll have a something to remind you of me..."
The bubble disappeared with Nall in it. Ryo growled and punched the ground.
"We got the wrong one! Why is he always in our way!?"
"Well I don't mind. He'll be fun to play with!"
They both disappeared as well. Ruby stared at where the bubble was as tears trickled down her face. Suddenly, she noticed something was in her hand. She looked down and saw Nall's plushie of him in his baby form.
"When he threw me...he must have put this in my hand..."
Ruby curled up and hugged the stuffed animal, sobbing madly. Hiro went over to her and laid a hand on her shoulder.
"Go away!" she roared, slapping his hand away.
"We'll find a way to get him back, Ruby..." Hiro mumbled, kneeling down to her level.
"I said go away!!"
She pushed him, making him fall on his butt. Hiro scratched his head confused.
"I was stupid! So stupid! If I had moved out of the way..."
"When people are scared...they freeze, it's a natural thing Red..." Ronfar said, "...it wasn't your fault..."
She jumped up and wrapped her arms around Ronfar's neck, sobbing into his chest.
"Ronfar! I'm a burden!"
"Hey, what's up with that?" Hiro mumbled.
Ronfar looked at Hiro and shrugged. Hiro sighed and made an embracing motion with his hands, signalling for him to hug her back. Ronfar looked down at the crying girl and slowly patted her on the back.
"Look Red...you can cry on me just don't blow your nose on me. I have a napkin if you want...blow your nose on that, okay?"
Ruby giggled and punched Ronfar lightly. Lemina and Jean each put a hand on Ruby's shoulder.
"Ruby, the tracking spell was mega-successful!" Lemina said cheerfully, "so we'll be getting your sweetheart back in no time at all!"
"Yeah, so lets go back in the mansion and figure out how this spell actually works," Jean said.
Ruby dried her tears and smiled at the plushie. Hiro walked over and hugged her tight.
"I know how you feel. But don't worry. Nall's strong. Stronger than all of us. He'll be okay," he said, stroking her hair, "but he'll need you to be strong too..."
"Yeah! And it's not like he's dead or anything! Nall's saved me so many times, now it's my turn to save him!" Ruby said, her voice cracking as she tried to be happy.
"There's the Ruby I know!"
"This is crazy!" Ryo screamed.
At their castle which floated in the sky like Vane once majestically did, except more foreboding, Ryo slammed his fists into the wall. Nall was chained to a wall, unconscious.
"Think about it this way," Yira hissed as she filed her nails, "they will come looking for us and they're bound to bring the Red and Black Dragons with them. Not to mention, we could have him on our side..."
She smirked and looked at him as he slept, his eyebrows twitching every now and then.
"If he's good for nothing else...he would be a good ally..." Ryo said.
"I can handle that for you."
Ryo and Yira got down on their knees immediately after hearing Zophar's voice.
"Lord Zophar, please bring this Dragon of Althena on our side with your darkness," Yira said looking up.
"Consider it done sweet Yira. Although it will be difficult because he is directly from Althena's holy magic. However...there is nothing the Lord of Darkness cannot do..."
Yira and Ryo nodded and left the room. She frowned.
"I wish he wouldn't call me 'sweet'..." she mumbled, "...it's disturbing..."
"Well Yira, Lord Zophar's our ticket to ruling the Green world..."
"All I ever wanted was love...I don't want the whole stinking world..."
Ryo sighed and hugged her.
"You know I love you..."
"What? You!? You're my brother, you idiot, of course you love me!" Yira said pushing him away, "I'm talking about the love between a man and a woman..."
"Like the Red and White Dragons?" he asked, "you're jealous of the Red Dragon because you're lusting after that damn White Dragon..."
"I want that Red Dragon to feel all the pain in the world...and when Lord Zophar turns the White Dragon against them, she'll kill herself from despair and that cutie will be all mine!" she schemed.
"He's not even of the Vile Tribe!"
"I don't care! He's sexy..."
"He's a monster! He's of ALTHENA!!" he yelled, "why would you have lust for some creature made by Althena? That's not even his real form!"
Yira growled and walked away from him. Ryo shook his head in disgust.
Meanwhile, Nall had began to stir and awaken.
"Wha? What's going on?"
"Hello, White Dragon of Althena...welcome to the darkness!!"
Nall jumped up and looked around. He growled and pulled at the chains holding him back. All he heard was Zophar's malevolent laughter as the room became pitch black.
"If you struggle, you'll tire yourself before I can take control of you're mind," Zophar said, "so don't bother trying."
"You'll never control me, you sadistic bastard!"
"Ha ha ha...sticks and stones my foe...and I'll raise your bet on that controlling..."
The darkness of the room wrapped around Nall like it had a mind of his own. When he breathed in the shadows, he began to get tired. Slowly, he began to weaken and soon stopped pulling at his chains. He fell to his knees and shook as he tried to remain conscious.
"You'll...never..."
He gave into the overwhelming shadows and collasped on the floor, falling into a deep sleep. The room returned to it's normal tint as Ryo and Yira came back in.
"So what now, Lord Zophar?"
"When he awakens, which will take a while since I had to use my strongest magic, he will be on your side. Have fun but remember your mission!!"
"Yes Lord Zophar," Ryo and Yira said in unison.
They felt Zophar's presence leave the room. Yira sqeauled in delight and ran over to her "prize". She hugged Nall's limp body, making Ryo snarl.
"Yira stop, that's disgusting..."

He gave into the overwhelming shadows and collasped on the floor, falling into a deep sleep. The room returned to it's normal tint as Ryo and Yira came back in.
"So what now, Lord Zophar?"
"When he awakens, which will take a while since I had to use my strongest magic, he will be on your side. Have fun but remember your mission!!"
"Yes Lord Zophar," Ryo and Yira said in unison.
They felt Zophar's presence leave the room. Yira sqeauled in delight and ran over to her "prize". She hugged Nall's limp body, making Ryo snarl.
"Yira stop, that's disgusting..."
Note: Hm...yeah...I'm not very proud of this chapter because I was kinda sleepy when I wrote it and my vocabulary isn't very vast incase you haven't noticed. But, it doesn't matter what I think! What matters is what YOU think! My wonderful, magnificent readers!! Please tell me if you think I did good with this chapter....I really wanna know. Be gentle though ^_~
