Chapter 8
With Kiba
Kiba woke up in the hallway. He looked around, but Cheza was gone. He quickly got up and scanned the hallways. He tried to run through the hole in the wall that Darcia made, but when he ran to go through it, he was repelled back. There was a force field or something blocking it. Anger quickly rose up in him. Thoughts ran through his head. If only he had attacked Darcia like Tsume. He punched the force field as hard as he could before remembering Tsume. Where was Tsume! Where were the others! They were gone. He ran around looking for them. He dug through rubble piles and ran into different rooms. He had to try to remember where everyone was. Toboe had been thrown against the wall. He ran over only to see a blood stain on the wall, but no Toboe. Hige had been beside Kiba. Kiba ran over to a wall where Hige would have most likely have been thrown against. There was blood there, too, but no Hige. Kiba felt lost and alone. He had one more place to check. Tsume had been attaching Darcia when the light went off. Tsume wasn't in the area with the red light. He had been attacking Darcia. The problem was, Kiba didn't know what happened. He ran back over to the force field. There were blood stains on the other side. Fortunately, there wasn't enough blood for Tsume's wounds to be fatal. He looked past the hole in the wall only to see smashed trees. They had probably come from Darcia's ship, but ships like that weren't even an idea now. How had the trees been smashed? Kiba didn't have time to figure it out because he could sense someone behind him.
With Hige
Hige woke up to blurry figures. He rubbed the back of his head only to feel his hair wet. He brought his hand in front of his face so he could see. He squinted at it. He saw red. He was bleeding from the back of his head. He didn't know how serious it was, but he quickly thought about the others. Where were they? Were they okay? What happened? Who was that guy? They all swam through his head, but not one of them he could answer. As his vision started to clear, he could see that he was in fact still in that building, but there was no sign of the others. He sat up on the ground. He knew that he should search for the others, but he felt too weak. Sure he could have stood up, but it felt like his head was about to fall off. He sat there thinking of possible answers to his questions, but he knew that none of them were the answer.
With Tsume
Tsume woke up with a headache. He put his hand on his head before he sat up. He suddenly realized, he didn't know where he was. He was about to stand up when he noticed that face. There was an eye patch on one eye. It was the guy who attacked them last night. He was about to pull out his knife as a warning, but it was gone. "You do not remember, do you?" the man said.
"Remember what?" Tsume answered angrily.
"You don't remember, all of it at least," the man said.
"What do you mean?" Tsume asked.
"You remember such a small fragment. You don't even remember what you are," he announced. Tsume hesitated, but did respond.
"Pain," Tsume replied.
"Ahhh, pain. There was so much, pain. I even had my share. Tell me, what do you remember that brought, pain," he asked.
"You, and them, and her, and death," Tsume answered.
"I should have known that she would give you that memory. Especially when she didn't want to come," he replied. Tsume didn't reply until he realized that he was imprisoned.
"Where am I?" Tsume angrily asked. The man didn't reply, but just walked away. Tsume yelled at him, but to no success.
With Toboe
Toboe stood looking. There was someone in front of him. Toboe could only see his back, but he knew him. Toboe had seen him before. Toboe had thought he was dead. He knew who this figure was. Toboe smiled with joy. It was him. It was Kiba. After the explosion, Toboe was the first to get up. He had seen that man take Tsume away, so Toboe had ran after him. It was then that the man put up that force field thing. After realizing that he couldn't go anywhere but there, he looked around. He found Hige, who seemed to have a nasty gash on the back of his head. Toboe had dragged him into a room farther down the hallway. He was going to come back to get Kiba until he saw him already up and staring. Toboe was filled with joy.
The chapters from here on are going to get EXCITING! I have already gotten to chapter ten, and believe me, when you read chapter nine, you are definately going to squeal from joy and want the next chapter!
