The Vision of Escaflowne ~ The Dracoinian Sphere"
---------------------------------------------------------
Chapter Ten
The weird blue light that engulfed the crusade, faded away, and everything was silent. The halls of the ship groaned from strain, and tilted slightly.
"What was that!?" yelled Gaddess, as he lowered his hands, and grasped the railings.
Katz staggered backwards and looked around the room, Millerna was a little startled, and she regained her balance.
"Gaddess, what just happened?" asked Millerna. Gaddess was silent, he didn't know what had happened. Then the intercom broke his thoughts.
"Sir! Sir! We have a problem on the bridge!" said Reeden over the intercom.
Gaddess walked over to the intercom in the hanger, and held down a button. "What's the problem!?" asked Gaddess as he released the button.
"You better come up here and see sir. It's kind of hard to explain." said Reeden.
"Okay I'm on way." said Gaddess, and then he turned around and he motioned for Millerna, and Katz to come with him.
((On The Bridge))
"What seems to be the matter?" asked Gaddess, as he entered the bridge.
Reeden pointed out the window, and Gaddess and the others turned their gaze to the window. Millerna covered her mouth in shock, Katz was just dumbfounded, and Gaddess walked over closer to the window and stared out in disbelief.
"Where are we?" stammered Millerna, as she turned around and faced Reeden.
Reeden shook his head and closed his eyes. "I don't know."
Gaddess looked up into the sky and noticed something strange and unusual, that he staggered backwards in shock. The others turned around at this and looked at Gaddess in confusion.
"Gaddess?" said Millerna.
"Sir what's wrong?" asked Katz, as he stepped up behind Gaddess.
"Where on another world!" stammered Gaddess.
"WHAT!!!???" the rest of crew said all together.
Gaddess pointed his finger to the sky, and everyone turned their gaze up to the sky, and gasped. There looming in the sky was a third moon.
"A third moon!?" gasped Reeden and Katz at the same time.
"Oh Gaddess where are we? <pauses> Do you think Allen and the others are here also?" asked Millerna, as she stared at the third moon.
Gaddess was silent, he couldn't believe that they were on another world. {I wonder what this world is like?} thought Gaddess. {Sir are you here to?}
"Gaddess?" Gaddess blinked and came back to his senses. "What do we do?" asked Reeden.
Gaddess thought to himself and then turned to the window, and noticed a large meadow off in the distance. "Lets land over there, and then we'll send a party out to see what we can find." said Gaddess after a few minutes in thought.
"But why don't we just use the crusade to look for existing towns, or cities?" asked Millerna.
"We can't. The technology might be different here, we can't let any suspicions that were enemies or intruders." said Gaddess, and everyone nodded in agreement.
"We'll since that's settled let's go!" said Reeden and he started to steer the crusade towards the meadow.
((After Landing In The Meadow))
"Katz, Kio, Ort, and Pyle. You will come with me to search the surroundings, you others stay here and guard the ship." said Gaddess. Gaddess turned around from the window and faced Millerna, her face bowed down and her hands were clasped infront of her. "Don't worry your highness, nothing will happen, we'll find Allen." and with that he walked by her.
Millerna slowly walked up to the bridge window and looked out into the meadow and sighed. {Hmmm?} "What the ....?" Millerna peered out the window and focused her eyes on a strange object on the other end of the field. "Gaddess! Whats THAT!?" yelled Millerna, as she waved over her shoulder and then pointed out to the field. Where a strange black vortex was forming.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
{Help!! .... Someone help me!} screamed Hitomi in her mind. {This isn't right! Oh Van where are you!!}
Hitomi sobbed even more, and she wriggled to get out of Dravo's grasp. But it was no use, no matter how hard she could, she couldn't get him off of her, he was just too strong. Dravo was lost in the moment and he released his grasp on her left wrist, and he lowered his hand down to her side. He could feel her body tense and shake under his body, he could hear her sobs, and whimpers, but he didn't care, he wanted her, no matter what. Hitomi felt Dravo's hand ease off her left wrist, and felt it slither down her side. With her left hand now free, one instinct came into mind, as Dravo finally broke his kiss, and raised his head up.
"GET OFF OF ME YOU BASTARD!!!!!" shrieked Hitomi, and she brought her left hand down, and across his face.
WHACK!!!!!!!!!
Dravo's face tilted to the side from the impact, and his left check started to turn red from the slap. Dravo's eyes closed and he clenched his teeth. Hitomi brought her hand back to hit him again, when Dravo grabbed her free hand and pinned it down again more painfully. Still holding Hitomi's wrist Dravo released his grasp on her legs and lifted himself off of the bed. Hitomi started to kick at him as hard as she could, but he still wouldn't let go. Dravo then lifted Hitomi off of the bed by her wrists, and hurled her down too the ground. Hitomi yelped in pain as her leg collided into the edge of the fireplace. She started to stagger to her feet when Dravo grabbed her right arm, and raised her off of the ground, and turned her around to him, and brought her close to him. He then grasped both of her shoulders, and tightened his grip, making Hitomi moan in pain, he then lowered his head to hers for another kiss. Tears streamed down Hitomi's face from pain and shock.
"No!!" stammered Hitomi. "Oh Van."
Dravo's eyes hardened into a cold stare, and he stopped. {Ugh! That name again! ... Van!} Dravo eased his grip on Hitomi's shoulders and then he tossed her unto the bed. Hitomi, staggered to the back of the bed and stared at Dravo with hatred. Then a evil smile spread across Dravo's face, as an idea ran through his mind. {With Van gone, there will be no one else for her to love. And then she WILL be mine!} Dravo chuckled to himself, and then he turned around and left the room, locking it behind him.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Owww!!!! You know that REALLY HURTS!!!!" yelled Ryu, as he tended to his new wounds.
"Well serves you right for treating me like that!" said Merle as she licked her paw. Ryu just growled under his breath.
"So how are we going to get out of here?" asked Allen. Everyone was silent in thought.
"I have an idea." said Van.
((A Few Minutes Later))
"HELP!! HELP!! MY FRIEND'S SICK!!" shrieked Merle, as she banged on the bars.
The three guards that were guarding the gates of Arnpria appeared and peered into the cell. Lying on the ground was Ryu, moaning in pain, the guards noticed the deep wounds on his arms and chest and the ripped clothing.
"What happened in there!!" yelled Guard 2.
Merle then noticed a small furry creature ((Looks like a hamster, same size to)). Run by the guards, and down the stone hallway, Merle got an idea, and she put on her scared, sad, kitty cat eyes. "That thing did it!!" screamed Merle, as tears ran down her check.
The guards turned there gaze to the small fury creature as it disappeared into a hole in the wall. "Damn! were infested with Hazzers again!! Damn vermin, I'm amazed they didn't kill your friend there and gnaw on his bones." said Guard 1, as he glared at the hole once again.
"Man! Now we have to watch out for those things! Man I can't stand Hazzers, they totally freak me out!" said Guard 3, as he trembled at the thought.
"Ya I know! My cousin was attacked by those things, and when morning came, there were nothing left but bones." said Guard 2, as he crossed his arms, and nodded.
Merle stared at the guards in disbelief, that such a cute, small, furry creature could possibly be THAT dangerous. The guards started to turn around and walk away. "Hey what about my friend!!" yelled Merle.
The guards stopped and stared at Merle. "We'll I guess we should help him." said Guard 2, and with that the guards turned around, and walked towards the cell door and unlocked it.
The three guards walked over to Ryu and kneeled down beside him. "NOW!!!" yelled Van.
The guards widened in shock as Ryu jumped to his feet, snagged the keys out of the gaurd one's hand and ran out of the cell with the others and locked the doors shut. "HEY HE'S ALRIGHT!!! IT'S A MIRACLE!!!!" chirped Guard 2, as a huge smile spread across his face.
"Shutup you moron! Don't you see what they just did!?" yelled Guard 1, as he slapped the upside of Guard 2's head.
"Hmm! No what?" asked Guard 3, as he scratched his head.
"Man I can't believe that actually worked." said Van.
"Me either." chuckled Allen.
"I'll I know. The capital must be desperate to hire these three! That's for sure." said Ryu.
"What? You mean stupidity doesn't run in this world? And here I was thinking that I was the most intelligent one here." smirked Merle, as she looked over at Ryu with a confused expression on her face.
Ryu just glared at her. "Don't you EVER shutup!" growled Ryu under clenched teeth.
"Only when YOUR not around." said Merle.
"Ryu!" everyone turned around and faced Van. "I want you to take Merle out of here and to a safe place."
Ryu and Merle at the same time. "WHAT!!!!!"
"I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE WITH THAT THING!!!!!" yelled Ryu, as he pointed at Merle.
"SAME HERE!!!!" shrieked Merle.
Van sighed, and then looked over at Allen, and Allen nodded. "Fine then, Allen will take Merle and Ryu you'll come with me." Ryu and Merle nodded in agreement. "Allen, we'll meet you at the twins place, when this is over alright." Allen nodded. "Alright then, let's go." and with that Ryu and Van ran up the stairs down the hall, and Allen and Merle ran down the hallway to the exit.
"HEY DON'T LEAVE US IN HERE!!!!!" screamed the guards.
SQUEAK! SQUEAK!
The guards gasped in horror as small scraps and squeak's were heard in the cell.
"mommy!!!" whimpered the guards. "HHHEEELLPPPP!!!!!"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hmmm. Those fools will ruin everything, I must stop them." said Baado, as he watched the four of them run down the halls of the castle, on his screens in his room. "They must NOT interfere!!!"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
To Be Continued ....
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
What's Baado up to? And aren't those guards pathetic! And now Millerna and the gang are in this new world. (sighs) Hey I know! REUION TIME!! In the next chapter Van and the others finally get to come face to face with Dravo and Baado. Will they be able to get Hitomi out of there?
