Mia screamed and opened her
eyes only to find herself gazing at sight beyond wonders. How
can this be…I was in the forest a minute ago. Mia turned
and shielded her eyes from the bright sun. She turned toward the
moon and glanced back at earth. I'm in space, How did I get out
here…how am I breathing.
Oddly enough she felt very comfortable and couldn't help but sigh
in relief. The stars twinkled as they were winking at Mia. She
had no fear and just looked in amazement without worrying at all.
It was a heavenly view she had but she didn't know whether she
was dead or alive… She wanted her love.
"Mia…Mia," the
voice was calm and sweet like nectar, but Mia couldn't help but
feel curious and frightened …she had no clue what was going
on.
"What, who's there?"
whispers filled her head like a gently breeze and startled her.
"I'm a friend."
"What are you and what
am I doing here?" she relaxed but tension was still flying
about her mind.
"Don't worry about that,
you're in danger. Just look...all will be explained in due time."
"Me…why?" asked
Mia flabbergasted. She just couldn't absorb everything that was
happening
"Just remember thinks aren't
always what they seem. Just let go." Mia didn't know why
but she let it go; the pain, sorrow, and everything that made
her human and then she felt something take over.
She looked at the visions as they flashed and disappeared. She
had never seen such a beauty. Her mind could barely absorb the
sights she had seen. She saw the earth's view of everything. She
saw huge peaks, the crevices and cores, the valleys in steep rock
faces perfectly clear. The smell of the deliciously fresh air
on small isles warmed her so.
She was everywhere at once as though she were apart of it. All her senses were sharp. The life that pulsed through the Earth was immaculate; she could not take it in all at once. She began to truly see it's grace as she found her place in it. She wanted to weep that these beautiful sights; she saw how natures many lives formed, breeding and dying…they were all connected. She had an understanding of life, death, sadness, and happiness within moments all of life's secrets had been opened and explained to her. Yet she did not feel whole but understood her mission.
***********
"So Megumi where was she?"
asked Belarus as he stood over Mia's bed. He couldn't believe
she had gotten away. He had certainly underestimated her and silently
vowed to never make that mistake again.
"In the forest. I kept
a small tracker on her and came through her image when she was
at the pond," Megumi said as she called off her armor. Belarus
nodded slightly at her methods and stood still.
She glanced at Mia again and
her eyes began to water, she but her hand to her face in pure
shock. I don't feel sorry for her...it is impossible he made me,
I have no feelings.
She looked so cold and pale,
almost as thought she were a doll that a child had lost. She felt
connected to her but could not figure why this girl from the mortal
realm would know her. Although Anubis was her enemy she'd at least
give Mia a few minutes with her lover, it mattered not to her…it
wasn't her fault, she had never know his past. She shook the thoughts
out of her head and softly spoke, "Excuse me sir, I'll leave
you to your work."
"Good," he said as Megumi quietly shut the door behind her. Belarus turned to Mia and waved his hands above her body;
"Mother of all living things bring forth this wandering spirit. Juk'lyi fug cueha kurrw dshui garyml," sweat began to breakout on his body as he was in full concentration. His hands began to give off a strange light as he chanted.
Mia's body jerked as she felt
herself being pulled downward. She struggled to stay hovering
but was pulled harder till she let her mind go. Mia began to fall
faster and faster. Mia couldn't let out a sound; she was in pure
shock.
She saw earth and fell into the clouds. She saw the meadow and looked toward the brilliant moon. In the distance she could see the sea with moonbeams dancing upon it. She looked as she saw the mountainous valley as she approached it. The Dynasty…I'd rather be dead than go back. Faster she fell she began kicking and struggling. Mia fell into the trees as they scratched her up even more; she fell into fields and past the animals. Soon she slowed and was pulled back into her body lying on the table and into a weird looking chamber. I was better off where I was, I don't want to go back. They're going to hurt me, "…Anubis…Anubis" she cried out as he was sucked backing to her body Mia. She saw blackness as a light approached her, she realized she wasn't alone.
He looked at Mia slowly admiring her features. She looked even prettier when she fired up. She would be his finally after centuries of waiting. He really didn't want to use her to get Anubis' armor, but could think of nothing else. Now was going to have his love, but didn't know why she choose Mia. Of all the body's Bayaca could have taken over it had to be hers, but I might as well take the opportunity to get the Armor of Cruelty.
"Ryo I think I got something,"
come look at this said Rowen. His eyes were widened with suspicion
and a wave of relief washed over him.
"What is it?" asked
Ryo he was still tired from when he had to take over the last
computer search shift. Ryo rolled off the chair and leaned over
Rowen shoulder to get a better view and began reading. "Armor
of Temptation, where'd that come from."
"I don't know but let me
finish reading and I'll go and you go and get the rest of the
guys. I'll meet you down stairs. Then we contact kayura and the
gang and we figure something out form there, okay." Said
Rowen getting adrenal pumping back into his system"
Okay," said Ryo dashing down the stairs. Finally we're getting somewhere, he though happily.
"Dais, Kale Anubis,"
said Kayrua, "it seems that Rowen has finally found something
but we don't know for sure. We should go back to the house."
A beam lifted them up and they landed right behind the house.
Anubis couldn't even bare to look in the back yard, I first kissed
her here. Thoughts wandered in and out of his head as walked into
the house.
All of the boys came in from the living room and Kayura and Rowen began talking.
"Okay I found this small
information on this new girl. Well it's the Armor of Temptation
it's almost like an illusion but has much worse effects and techniques.
Like ours it adapts to the bearer. It was created for a queen
but she was killed before it finished. Her name was Bayaca, I
don't think she's totally dead though." Said Rowen as he
closed his eyes trying to envision the situation.
"Okay that's all fine and
dandy but how do we beat her and this new emperor," said
Kale a bit rufly.
"Emperor?" asked Sage.
"Yeah, we found out that's
who she works for," said Dais
"That's just it, the new
power comes with the new owner and they are always women. With
each one it's never the same. All it gives a record of are the
things it destroys."
"Well we also don't know
why they need Mia," said Cye, "she has no armor"
"Well you see, Anubis used
to know this young lady," said Kayura as she grabbed a chair
in the far corner. She was exhausted being the Ancient; it wasn't
what it was cracked up to be.
"How come you didn't tell
us," blurted out Kento as he pounded his fists upon the table.
"About 200 years ago, before
I got my Armor…we were to be married. I was to be knighted
and we were betrothed by our parents. One day I found her out
in a plain with her throat slit. I thought she was dead. That
was the day Talpa captured me and brain washed me." Anubis
began nervously and let it flow.
"Do you think she want's
revenge?" asked Sage changing the topic.
"If she did then why is
Mia still alive?" Ryo asked. Then he suddenly thought struck
him that she may not be alive.
"Maybe they need something
from her or us," said Rowen trying to keep everyone going.
"Well I suggest that we
go up there and get her. We won't know anything till we confront
them all. It's a trap but what else can we do," said Kayrua.
This came as a huge shock to everyone, Kayrua was the logical
thinker. She'd never rush into something without thinking. But
no one was going to stop her now.
"Okay let's go then,"
said Kento getting out of his chair. Everyone nodded at his thrill.
They all went outside and transformed into sub armor. Kayura called
down a light and was lifted back into the nether realm.
Kaurya slow let the light vanish as she turned to the warriors. The boys gazed at the castle; it was much different than the last time they fought. It was still dreary but seemed to have no evil essence to it. The front walls were replaced with gardens. Colors radiated from the castle they couldn't understand it. They no longer worried about that, Mia was inside and that was all it was to it. They were ready to go and stormed off into the castle.
Anubis reached around the guard
and snapped his neck sending his limp body to floor. He crept
on the tips of his toes and stayed in the shadows unaware that
he was being watched. He saw hundreds of doors and didn't where
to begin.
"Morgus go and tell Lord Belarus that we have company. I must go meet my old comrade," said Megumi with a childish smirk. Morgus was totally against it but saw that her eyes were filled with a passion that was stronger than he was alone. He held his tongue and went to find Belarus.
Anubis walked until he saw two
large oak doors. He entered and saw large tapestries of massacres.
It was making him sick to his stomach. The killing of woman and
children, so much blood was everywhere. This only made him worry
about Mia even more and started back toward the door.
"Anubis, leaving so soon
I thought that we could get to know each other better. Or should
I say to know you before you die…again," came a voice
that echoed in the long hall.
"Megumi, come now what
do you want," yelled Anbuis.
"Your head, when we were
attacked you left me to die" She materialized behind him
and he stepped to his right trying to dodge her attack.
"I don't know what you're
talking about. I was at no such place. I found you dead, I was
off at training that day"
"LIAR," she screamed,
"at least be a man and admit your defeat…you coward"
Megumi lashed out him again this time bringing her staff across
his head. He thought for a moment as she started her attack again
and then dismissed his armor and changed back into his regular
clothes.
"Fool, I can kill you
at any time," she said angrily.
"If your goal is to kill me then I will not stop you. I am truly sorry but I was not there," he said calmly. He stood his ground as she took her staff and aimed it at his heart.
