"Count Mott lives to the east, just take the main road and it should be easy to spot," said Marteau solemnly.
"Thank you," said Saito as he turned to leave.
"Saito," said Marteau as Saito was about to open the door, "Just promise that you and her will come back alive, I'm not asking for anything more than that. Please, promise me that you will come back alive."
"I promise you I will come back alive, and I will bring her back with me."
"I better take one of the horses that they have available for the students to use," thought Saito as he headed for the stables, "I still don't know how strong the people of this planet are, I have to play it safe and save my energy. No doubt I can make it there in 5 minutes, but I would have lost some of my energy, and that could be dangerous."
As Saito got the horse and started to ride to the east side to leave he was spotted by Kirche through her window. She sees him leave on the horse that he expertly set up and wonders, what's going on? With that though, she decides to tell Louise and Tabitha in order to follow him and see what has happened.
Saito is riding down the path that Marteau had told him to follow, it's been 2 hours and night is closing in fast. If he doesn't hurry then Siesta will be forced to sleep with Count Mott. With eyes widening on that fact and a quick flashback to the war and all its atrocities, Saito kicks the sides of the horse to make him go even faster.
Meanwhile, in the skies above Saito there are three people following him to see what is happening. These people are Louise, Kirche, and Tabitha. They are riding Tabitha's familiar infant wind dragon Sylphid to keep up with Saito and to stay hidden.
"Where the hell is Saito going?" asked Louise.
"I don't know where, that's why I made sure to ask you first," replied Kirche, "Any ideas Tabitha?"
"Count Mott lives around here," Tabitha flatly said.
"What business would Saito have with Count Mott?" asked Kirche.
"That's a question we should ask him personally," Said Louise, "What's he doing?" Saito was dismounting his horse and went around sneaking up on the guards to the gate, which had a lock on it. "I guess now's a good time to ask. Hey Tabitha, can you bring us down there?"
As Saito knocked out the guards and opened the gate with the use of his sonic screwdriver, a sudden gust of wind alerted him to someone's presence. That someone was Tabitha, Louise, and Kirche.
"What are you three doing here?" asked Saito.
"We could ask the same of you Saito," replied Louise, "What are you doing here, and why did you knock out the guards?"
"I'm here to save a friend from a noble. Now answer my question. What are you three doing here?"
"We were following you because we were suspicious of what you were doing," answered Kirche.
"Well go home, I don't need your help, and if you plan to stop me then I will fight you too."
"No, Saito, we're here to help you," said Kirche.
"I don't need it, now go home," said Saito as he turned to the mansion and got ready to storm it.
As he walked away Derflinnger decides it is the right time to speak up and ask a question that has been at the back of his thoughts ever since this all started.
"Hey partner, don't you think that was a bit harsh?" asked Derflinnger, "I mean all they did was offer to help you, there was no need to snap like that."
"You don't understand Derflinnger. If I let them follow me then they will be in trouble and I can't save everyone. It's better that they go back and act like none of this ever happened."
"What happened on your world that you now believe this to be true?"
"The reason I'm like this is because everyone that I knew everyone that I ever loved, they are all dead now, and I couldn't stop it from happening. I was known as the most powerful in my world and I was still too weak to do anything, but no more. I won't let those I care for die, not anymore."
While that conversation was happening, another one was taking place between the three girls whom came to help.
"What do you think that was all about?" asked Kirche.
"I don't know what that was about, but I will not stand back while my familiar tries to do something stupid," replied Louise.
"Good idea," said Kirche as she turned to Tabitha, "Hey Tabitha, are you going to help or are you going to wait out here for a quick escape?"
"I'll wait for you," replied Tabitha.
Saito was sneaking around the mansion looking for Siesta and was able to find another made that looked to know where everything was, so he decides to go and speak to her.
"Hey," called out Saito, "Do you know where Siesta is?"
"Siesta?" asked the maid, "Oh, the new girl, of course. She's in this hall, fourth door on the left."
"Thank you," said Saito walking to the room indicated by the maid.
As he gets to the door he knocks and calls out for Siesta, and gets an answer.
"Who is it," asked Siesta as she bathed.
"It's Saito," replied Saito as he heard a gasp from the other side, "May I come in?"
"Yes, please come in," replied Siesta as she dried herself and put on a robe, "What are you doing here Saito?"
"I'm here to save you from the Count. You have nothing to worry about now, now let's go," said Saito. He then looked directly at Siesta after looking through the room and said, "Right after you get changed that is."
As Saito and Siesta are running through the halls, they are being chased by the Count's personal army of elite warriors. They just reached the bottom of the flight of stairs, when they are cornered. The warriors blocked them from being able to escape from all sides.
"Oh this is just great," exclaimed Saito, "I was so close to rescuing her and now, we're surrounded on all sides."
As Saito complains about the situation there's an explosion that rocks the mansion and the half blocking the exit are blown away and scattered everywhere. In the reseeding smoke Louise and Kirche are seen with their wands out and pointed at Saito threateningly.
"Saito, you idiot, we were so worried for you," screamed Louise, "What were you thinking trying to win against a Count?"
"If I wasn't so glad to see you I'd be angry you know," said Saito with a grin, "You did well in not listening to me, but now I have to do one last thing." With that Saito turned around to face Count Mott. "So we meet at last Count Mott. I have to say, this chase was something unexpected, but at least it flushed you out. Now, I have an offer you that you can't refuse."
"And, if I may ask, what would that offer be?" asked Mott.
"You release Siesta back to her old job at the academy or all trace of Count Mott will leave this property, one way or another."
"You jest sir, do you believe me an idiot?"
"Yes! This is your last chance, let Siesta go and we will leave in peace. What's your answer?"
"I'm afraid I will have to decline (HAHAHA)!"
"Then what happens next is your own doing."
Saito starts to power up, his body strengthening beyond the capabilities of any human and he got a powerful glow of white aura flames around him that shined off him like a star. With a flash of light, Saito was off and then in that same flash he was back and all the guards that were left fell to the ground unconscious and unable to respond anymore.
"What happened?" asked Mott as he looks around the room to see his guards all 50 of them, defeated in an instant.
"I warned you, and you didn't take my warning." Saito looked at Count Mott with murderous intent and said, "Let's go, I'll finish this from the outside." With a confused look everyone complied.
Outside, Saito got into a stance that had him with his left side to the mansion, both hands cupped to his right hip and knees bent. Then it started. Saito started concentrating all his power into his hands and a ball of blue light appeared. With a scream he unleashes all that pent up power in one giant wave of power and completely destroyed the mansion and killed everyone in it.
As the energy dispelled and Saito relaxed he could only say one last thing before passing out, "Let's go home."
AN: How was that? Did you like it? Was the power attack too obvious? Please review, but no guest reviews if all you're going to do is flame at me that this is garbage. Give me constructive criticism please. I want to improve.
The poll is up and it has seven girls to choose from. Louise, Kirche, Siesta, Jessica, Tabitha, Tiffania, and Henrietta, so please vote.
