When Cithians Attack (14 page)

“You must’ve been in a bloody fight.” She
said

“Natasha...”

“Save your energy. You need rest!”

She wrapped gauze pads around my arms and I
felt a stinging pain in my wrists as they burned.

“Your power wrists must’ve been
hit.”

“My what?”I said, as the pain grew
worse.

“The rings in your wrists that control your
powers.”

“Right.”

“Anyways, you need to be asleep for
now.”

“What about the fight?”

“I’ll heal you. But in the meantime, you need
to rest!”

The Nurse placed her hands on my forehead and I
felt a sudden burst of energy.

“Settle down! You need rest!”
“Why?”

“Your arms have to heal.”

“Can’t you just heal my arms too?”
“No. I can only heal body energy.”

I closed my eyes and an hour later, I
awoke.

“You’re awake! Good, we need to take you to the
fight!”Drayer said, handing me my some new clothes. I slid them on
and we all touched hands as we disappeared and reappeared in front
of the Consilium. Walking into the Arena, I went on the left side
as Nancy got on the other and Anna and Jakin cheered me on.
Throwing a beam of light into the air, I watched as Nancy threw a
beam of Darkness into the air, and her guardian armor appear on her
as I turned into my warrior form. But this time around, her
guardian from was half black and she held a red sword in her right
hand.

The crowd went into a dread silence as Nancy
threw a beam of darkness towards me and I dodged it. I shot a green
beam at her. She threw it back. I dodged it with a somersault. I
threw another beam at her.

“Give up,Skyrid?”

“Never! People are counting on me!”

I threw a orb of light at her and she threw a
orb of darkness towards it. They combined together and exploding,
they threw both of us against our separate walls. The pain in body
from the fight was getting worse and I couldn’t get up no matter
how hard I tried. Nancy got up from the ground and raised her fists
to the sky as my warrior form faded out.

“I have beaten Skyrid. He’ll now be my
prisoner. And anyone who dares challenge me will be taken as well.”
Nan said, laughing evilly. Guardians helped me up.

“Let him go! He’s my prisoner now!”

They dropped me and I passed out as she opened
a gray portal and dragged me into it.

Chapter 18 Jaren’s
imprisonment.

I woke up. I tried to move my arms but, they
just went back towards the wall. I tried to move my feet too but
the same thing happened. I noticed I was chained to the wall.
Looking around the room, I saw that it had dirt, dust and cobwebs
all over the place and there was a computer with green and red
buttons on it along with a joystick in the middle in front of me
that had two blue lamps on each side, on my left was Pedro and
Kodyack and on my right,was my sister.

Pedro’s face was less white than usual, and his
beard was overgrown. Kodyack’s eyes were very watery, his hair was
unkempt, and he had bruises on his arms and legs along with his
clothes having holes in them and him smelling like gym socks.
Crystal’s hair was only to her shoulders( her hair is usually down
past her shoulders) she was palest of them all and her face was
green. She threw up onto the floor as she coughed harshly. They all
looked at me.
“Skyrid?”They all said in unison.
“Pedro, Kodyack and Crystal? How can this be?”

“They’re my prisoners too, Skyrid.”Nancy said,
walking into the room.

“You won’t get away with it, Nancy! Anna and
the Cithians will rescue us!”

“How?They have no clue where you
are!”

“True. But Kevin does.”

“Who?”

“He used to be a member of
Bloodshed.”

“And what makes you think he can help you
now?”

I became silent as she laughed at
me.

“Exactly. No one can help you now.”
“Why would you do this, Nancy?”Kodyack said

“How’d you become evil anyway?” Pedro
said

“You imprisoned Sade. And he was my best
friend.” Nancy said

“How does that have anything to do with
this?”Kodyack said

“It doesn’t. But, I need your services,
Kodyack.”Nancy said

“What for? So you can make more
Darkomegas?”
“Yes. You must go back to Gailems and...”

“Leave him alone!” I said, trying to shoot a
beam of light at her.

“It’s no use, Skyrid. The chains suck all your
powers into them.”

“Let us go!”Crystal said.

“Or what, Winter Warrior?”

“Winter Warrior? What’s she mean?”I
said

“Nothing, Skyrid. It isn’t important.”Crystal
said

“Silence!”Nancy said beating her staff on the
ground. It was two inches bigger than me (I’m 6 feet), had a black
spiral and a bloody sword carved into it, and a red gem on the top
of it with each side of stretched out two inches and the staff
itself was stretched out three inches on each of its
sides.

She looked at Kodyack.

“You will go back to Gailems and bring me a
sacrifice to become Darkomega.”

“Never! I will not obey you!”Kodyack
said

“I think you will!”Nancy said, throwing a
purple orb at him.

The orb's energy surged through him. Flashes of
purple electricity sparked over his entire body. Kodyack screamed.
His body twisted this way and that as his mind fought against
Nancy's mind control. I struggled against the chains that held
me.

“Stop hurting him!”I said

“I’m not! He’ll just be my minion for a little
while!”Nancy said, laughing.

“What would you have me do, Master?”Kodyack
said

“Go back to Gailems and bring me a confused
soul!” She said, releasing him.

“Yes, Master! I’ll go!”Kodyack said as a purple
portal opened and he went into it and disappeared.

“Your possession will wear off!”I said as I
struggled against my bounds.
“What makes you think that, Skyrid?”

“It wore off of Jakin didn’t it?”I
said

“Yes. But you see, he’s more rebellious than
Kodyack is.”

“True. But, how does that help you?”I
said
“Since he is less willing to rebel, he’ll be easier to control.
See?”Nancy said

“Nancy, the students will notice the change in
his attitude!”Pedro said.

“No they won’t! The possession only inhibits
his decisions and not his attitude.”Nancy said

“That doesn’t matter. Fader will notice a
change!” I said

“If that happens, I’ll have Kodyack attack
him.”

Pedro went silent as Nancy moved the Joystick
and I saw Kodyack walk up to the Couselium. The Guardians let him
in; he walked up behind Jaren and knocked him unconscious as
Kodyack trapped in him in a bubble.

A ceil portal was opened as him and Kodyack
took Jaren with him into it and disappeared as it
closed.

“He won’t take orders from you, Nancy!”I
said
“Oh, he will once he finds that he can’t rescue you any other
way.”Nancy said

A cobalt portal appeared in the room, and
Kodyack stepped forward along with Jaren.

“Slyer?!” Jaren said, running up to
me.

“Yes, Jaren. It’s me.”

“Let Skyrid go!”Jaren said as he whirled on
Nancy, fists clenched.

“I will if you decide to become
Darkomega.”

“Fine. But, if you don’t keep to your word,
I’ll hunt you down!”

“No, you won’t. Because if you do, I kill all
of them.”

“Alright. I’ll do it. Just release
him.”

“Not until Sade gets here.”

“Sade? Sade Maserson?”

“Yes. He’ll be wanting to trade his powers with
you. Until then, you’ll be chained to the wall with the others!
Kodyack, chain him up!”
“Right away, Master.”

“Kodyack, what is with you?”Jaren said,
slapping him.

“Nothing’s wrong with him, Jaren. He’s just
under my control.” Nancy said

“Snap out of it, Kodyack. She’s trying to trick
you!” Jaren said.

“Jaren, he won’t be coming out of the
possession for a while. So, let him chain you up!”

“No!”

“No? Do you need a possession too?”

“Try your best, Nancy!”

“Aww, a challenge. I love a good fight! Too bad
that won’t happen!”

She threw a red orb at him and he passed out on
the ground.

“Kodyack, you can resist her!”I said

“Don’t listen to him, Kodyack. He never rescued
you, did he?”Nancy said

“He did not.” Kodyack said

“Exactly! Now, put Jaren in chains!”

“Yes, Master.”

Kodyack picked up Jaren and held him against
the wall as he chained his hands and feet to it. Jaren
awakened.

“Let me go! You cowards!”Jaren said, pulling
against his chains.

“Shut up, Jaren. You’ll get your chance!” Pedro
said

A green portal appeared.

“Where are you going?”I said

“To get Sade for the Power Trade. Don’t try to
escape while I’m gone or I’ll have Hydra Sayis attack
you!”

Nancy showed us Gade. He was stuck in his Sayis
form and behind bars.

“What have you done to Gade?”Pedro
said

“Nothing,Ped. He’s also under my
control!”

“Prove it! A Sayis will never willingly attack
another one!”

“Are you challenging me? No one tells me I
can’t do it!”

Nancy hit the cell with a orange orb and as it
opened, Gade stepped out of it.

“Gade, attack Pedro!”

Gade tried to hold his hand back, but couldn’t.
He shot Pedro with a white beam as all of his heads looked away.
Pedro became frozen like an icicle.

“Unfreeze him now!”I said

“Or you’ll do what?”

“I’ll...”I said

“Let me answer that. You’ll do
nothing!”

Nancy and Kodyack went into the portal and
disappeared.

“Thanks a lot, Jaren. You didn’t have to go
with Kodyack!”

“I didn’t. He knocked me
unconscious.”

“This is still all your fault.”

“How’s my fault?”

“You just couldn’t stay away form the
cousellium, could you?”

“No. But after you lost, I stayed to see if
someone would come back for more.”

“I don’t care! You risked your life, and we’re
still locked up.”

“I did it for you, Skyrid. I wanted to save
you.”

“Why?”

“
I owe you for saving my life after
your malfunction.”

“Alright. But, how do we get out of here
now?”

“You see, I didn’t quite think that part
through.”

“Idiot! I would so pound you if I could break
loose from these chains!”

“Skyrid, calm down. I think I know a
way.”Crystal said

“What?”I said

“If I just harness enough light energy within
myself, I’ll turn into an orb.”Crystal said

“But, I thought these chains sucked our
powers.” I said

“Not the ones inside us. Just the ones coming
out.” Crystal said

“Oh. But, how does that help us?”I
said

“Watch me, first. And then, you all will copy
me.”Crystal said

Crystal closed her eyes. She breathed in and
out as her arms and legs came out of the chains and she turned into
an orb of light. Materializing, she stood in front of us and shot a
beam of light at Pedro. The ice melted, and Pedro opened his
eyes.

“Thank you, Crystal.”

Pedro closed his eyes, and breathed in and out
as he turned into a green orb. Landing beside Crystal, he turned
back into himself.

“Skyrid, you’re next. Just focus on the light
energy inside you.”Pedro said.

“It’s not as easy as it looks!”I said, closing
and opening my eyes.

“It is if you’ll work with me. Now, close your
eyes.”

I closed my eyes.

“Good. Now, breath in and out as you focus all
your energy into one orb.”

I breathed in and out faster and faster as I
focused all my energy and sweat poured down my face.

“Skyrid, stop! You’re trying too hard!”
I stopped.
