Chapter 4
"Elise? Are you here? Where are you!?" I questioned.
I couldn't find it out right now, I think she might be ahead of me or behind me. Either way, There has got to be some way to get out of this blistering storm. It was so cold that even my insides are starting to harden. I wonder what is wrong with her. I feel that she is trying to conceal something from me. Something smells fishy due to this. Reaching the gate I greeted the same guards that once stunned me before.
"Halt!"
"Oh for god's sake⦠Do you remember me?"
"No, but if we were to let you in, we cannot because we are closing off all trade routes and all possible people travelling here."
"But, why?"
"We have already experienced their power, and already we had one theft. " They said holding their stun rods at me." I am sorry, we can't take any more chances. He fears that one more might be fatal."
"It's okay. I understand. I just go off now." I walked away while placing a devious grin on my face.
I was really thinking about walking through the barrier, as I know it's that vulnerable to sneak in. First things first, I got to find her first. I called out for her a couple of times, and she was apparently holding something with her tail, also struggling against this brutal cold.
The storm was so brutal, that even the sun couldn't seem to shine through. Last time this happened is when Vreaze was walking through here. He couldn't really explain why he was trying to destroy this realm. Too bad he stabbed my mother in the stomach. Now he got what he deserved.
Although, even though he manipulates weather in certain barriers like this, I still wonder why the storm is still raging. Maybe it's just a snowstorm. I waited for Elise, shivering intensely with each gust of wind ramming into me. She asked me why I was going so fast. I answered back that I was going to see if they would let us in.
"So, What you got there Eli?" I asked.
"Its R-really nothing.. I just like to curl my tail like this." She said and showed me that she had nothing around her tail.
I sighed and prepared to phase through the barrier. "Elise, just follow me. This will be very easy." I said while setting dark flames around myself. We walked together as the flames made us slightly nonexistent. First, it gave us some resistance, but we managed to finally get through. We ended up being forcefully shot through the barrier, falling on our stomachs. We both met necks while we were laying on solid concrete, being thankful that we are both okay. I noticed something about her tail though, there was one bit of something through the hole where she wraps her tail.
"Again, is there anything behind your back?" I asked again.
"No, nothing." She said nervously.
"Cmon, let's get moving." I said while getting up.
Someone then saw us and reported us without us knowing. We decided to go the same way and then we reached the light. In the distance we heard some kind of alarm, and it was not really near us. I thought that someone robbed something at that time, but then I saw some aircraft already having lasers pointing at somebody's head. They started to run as fast as they could, hoping for the best, but one shot him right in the head with a sharp bullet. I hear a faint but consistent voice coming from the aircraft. It said "Target eliminated, lets go for the other target". After he said target, reinforcements that just were search teams appeared around us, and the ships hover at range. The same ship that killed that man did the same thing with the laser, but I tried to shield myself with my arm. It fired, but the bullet bounced off my scales, but I could see that Elise did not have the same thing, and she was hiding in a alleyway. I do not want to fight back, but at this point, If I do not, they might hurt her.
"Please stop it!" I said.
Apparently they did not hear me because now they are shooting missiles at me now, and right now the debris is really hurting my eyes. I then felt something crash into me at a high speed, running me over, and making me weak. I got back up from it, holding my head to ease the major headache, and then one thing crashed into my head. I opened my eyes trying to see again, but all I see is bright blurs and double of everything. I finally black out from the bullet that hit me in the head.
At Base
"Seriously, are you alright? Are you hurt or anything?" I said.
"What is hurt?" Thrask said.
"Pain." The guardian answered.
"What is pain?" Thrask asked.
"Are you serious..." The guardian said.
"So maybe I should ask you then. Anything-" I said.
"I am fine thank you." He interrupted.
Something tells me that He got warped or something, but it just doesn't sound or seem right. I proceeded cautiously, but acted naturally and walked away. Raleigh then came from the sky with a 40 ft. tall bipedal mech, that quickly aimed all weapons at me. I did not have enough time to react, but the AI in my suit reacted just in time to shield me from the weapons.
"Shields are weak. We cannot take another hit like that." The AI said.
Then Raleigh made the machine turn into a huge 4 legged laser cannon that pointed right at us. At that time I thought I was a goner, but then just when he tried to charge it up, the guardian teleported in front of me, and impaled the machine with a bunch of red thorns. He only got there, and conjured it. It began to crack and emit a strange eerie sound that made my spine shiver. It then exploded with many shards. He began descending and crouched to his knees. He was breathing heavily, and it seemed like he was trying to not take it too far.
