*Dornkirk feels his life distort as his system continues to fade in power. But he finally reaches his quarters. As he enters, Miguel looks up, still holding up his blde to Hitomi's throat. Dornkirk freezes* What manners of interrogation are these ! *Miguel slowly relinquishes his blade from her throat and locks his sight on Dornkirk. Dornkirk enters the room and stroles to the back were resides a giant mechanical device. Molded in the form of a throne.* Anyhow, what are you still doing within my quarters ? *Stroles backwards, facing the steel throne from the back. The wheels of his chair lock into place. The back of his chair pulls down. Some tubes and parts move forward as he slides into his throne. A few silling sounds and clicks resonate in the chamber. Dornkirk sighs of comfort* Better now *he whispers. His recalls that the he still has guests* How has the interrogation been going, Miguel ?
OOC: very cool avatars. Nice work Ingrid
*looks at the tip of miguel's blade* fine! i've taught someone before... But it's very difficult! And the person has to have a certain open spirit... *looks down, green eyes large with fright* =Must you be so savage!?=
*is still confused and dazed* wha...? *notices schezarade alive* AHHHHHHHHH! Schezarade's out of it's bonds! Lord Folken! We must restrain him! AHHH! *runs in circles frantically around lord folken.* maybe hes too frightened.... *begins to kick at schezarade's foot*
=being very dim=
A FEW HOURS!!! What on earth does she mean A FEW HOURS!? Hitomi and Allen might be in a lot of danger and she wants me to wait A FEW HOURS!!!! ERIES I - *stops, realizing she wasn't acting like "a proper princess", as her sister would say. Clears throat* Eries, Hitomi and Allen might be in a lot of danger and I do not think that it would be best if we Procrastinate! *couldn't help riseing her voice at the end. That was more "princess like of me". Huremph! Eries is so uptight somethimes. I mean really... Hitomi and Allen need are help yet she wants to "fix" herself first I heave no time or intention to stand her and linger untill you find yourself fit to leave *smiles to self and straightens out hair*
=Tic Toc=
*smiles* Very well. *gets in his Alseid and retracts crima claw, forms a sword and cuts the crima claws still holding Schezarade from Gatti's melef, metal ignites and burns away from Schezarade freeing it - Schezarade stands up in a shower of sparks* =perfect !=
*Power finally comes back to a high enough level to awake*where am I...Where is Allan! I was defeated? How can this be? I sense Allan far away. The things this human have said are making sense. It seems Allan has abandoned me.*The power levels are increasing fast, a rage is ignited in me.*After all i have done for him, the punishment ive taken and the sacrifices i made for his life!*Sparks spray like a fountain from my eyes as they turn black as night.*I will fight with this human and his army but on my own terms, no more bumbling ineffecient human controls. I will show them true power, cold and precise. From now on I fight for myself and for revenge on those who have abandoned me!*BOOM!! The hatch mechanism blows away to prevent anyone from opening the cockpit.*There now it opens only when i say it opens.*Struggles to communicate with Folken. I manage to get out a few words.*Release....me.....
=processing...=
*Dornkirk leaves - Folken stayes staring at the melef for a moment then again approaches it* =time to choose Schezarade ...=
Miguel stares at Hitomi for a moment, noticing her waver slightly. At the end of her sentence, he grabs Hitomi's wrist, and puts his middle and forefinger on hitomi's vein, and concentrates, his eyes closed. After about four seconds of concentration, his eyes slowly open. He pauses for a short time, seeming like an eternity. He smiles slightly, and speaks, his voice slow and sibilant, like a snake's hiss. "You're lying." Miguel, with his other hand, moves the tip of the knife down to Hitomi's heart. "Now.." Miguel continues in the same tone of voice. "Let's try it again, shall we?"
=sibilant=
ALRIGHT! ALRIGHT! I don't know where the pendant came from! From a stone?? How should I know! My grandmother gave it to me! And my visions... *wavers slightly* They're usually true. *lies through her teeth* I've.... I've never trained anyone to dow sing. *looks at miguel with a level eye, but inside is panicking* Van....Save me! Save Allen! Save all of us... Please.
=You evil man!=
*wakes up from his coma XP* Wah....? *rubs head and heads back up the stairs he fell down from. sees folken and dilandau and straightens up, but alas is still dizzy and trips over folken landing on his face* ow! *sees the look of rage on dilandau's face and cowers* ahhh!
=ack! don't slap me!=
*Still awaiting a response from the living melef, his attention and those of the others are turned away to a guard up on the pass-rail* Lord Folken ! The Escaflowne is here !
=it begins...=
Millerna, I'm glad you've returned! I've been worried sick. Is Allen in any danger? O, dear! Look at your hair, your attire. Sister, please stand still and stop fidgeting. Where is Allen? Millerna relates her tale causing noticeable stress to her sister. That's awful. Of course, I'll help! I'll need a few hours to get ready... Allen needs me! I would do anything for him..! I mean anything. :p
=dismayed...is this any way for a princess to act?=
As Van guided Escaflowne through the air, he spotted the Vione floating in the distance. 'I'm coming Hitomi,' he thought. As he got nearer to it, he looked to see if there were any guards, and he landed Escaflowne on the dock. Pulling out his sword, he sneaked away, trying to avoid any Zaibach soldiers.
=determined to rescue Hitomi!=
Hm, wonder if they've noticed i've been gone. There's so many people there........but i stick out a like a thumb..a poofy haired thumb. I guess i should return. *sighs* and get the beating of my life.......*heads back*
OOC: eeeeeh, been a while.
=:]=
Your stubborness is.. amusing. And futile." Miguel quietly repeats the questions Hitomi missed. "Have you ever been able to teach, in whole or in part, your abilities to another? How accurate have these.. Visions turned out to be? And finally, what do you know of the pendant's origin?"
In case you need a bit of persuasion.. Miguel turns his head sideways, still keeping an eye on Hitomi. "GUARDS! Bring Allen here." Miguel smirks at Hitomi's horrified look as Allen's still battered body is dragged in. "Now then.." Allen stoops down, and snaps Allen's last unbroken finger on his right hand. "Two hundred and one.."
=smirking=
*stares blankly at miguel.* You stupid monster! *glares at him and pauses deliberately. then starts* my pendant....it's from my grandmother. and as for my POWERS, as YOU call them, I don't know where they come from. Isn't it rather pathetic that you always use hostages to get your way, Mr. Dragon Slayer? *stares up innocently at Miguel, and straightens skirt* Is that all?
=how rude ><=
Seeing Millerna run back towards the palace, Van settled down in Escaflowne, and put his hands on the controls. He took a quick second to mentally prepare himself, then he gripped the controls tightly, and changed Escaflowne to it's dragon mode and flew up into the sky. he steered the gigantic metal beast into the direction of where Hitomi had gone, the direction where he'll find her and Dornkirk.
=I'm coming, Hitomi...=
*Follows Folken patiently and watches him and Dornkirk* This must be serious...I mean I KNOW that it is but.....I wonder what’s the true meaning of this guymelef? Why does this ONE talk? *Carefully tries to get a good look at Shezarade without being too much in the way of the Folken and Dornkirk.* Whatever this guymelefs secret is......I know that we can find it. .... I believe in you Master Folken.
=patient=
*Awkwardly stares at Van* The palace? He expects me to leave Hitomi so I’ll be safe at the palace??? What does he take me for? I might seem a little on the.......no matter the excuse. I am NOT going to linger and pace around the palace! Hmmmm.....that gives me an idea... *Smirks to self trying not to let Van notice a sudden change of mood* Er.....Maybe I should Van *says in her best innocent female act* It is safer at the palace anyway....... Ha! Like I’m going back there....well actually I am but I’m not staying back there! I know just the person to help me......ERIES! I KNOW she’ll be willing to help me *Says goodbye to Van and runs all the way back to the castle occasionally stumbling from her long skirt. She runs to her room first and emerges wearing pants. XP Begins to run in a princesslike fashion towards the stables to get a horse to ride to Eries' estate, when she sees Eries already there in the foyer. * ERIES! *gasps for air after all that running* I need your help! Hitomi’s been captured and she needs our help! Van sent me back her to be safe but you know me!....I’m NOT going to sit her and wait. Are you with me?! *hopes that Eries isn't in one of those moods where she minds her own business*
=Ready and willing!!!=
*signs at Folken. He comes down from the melef and approaches Dornkirk.* Closer *Folken leans over. Dornkirk whispers* About Allen, he tried to escape but Miguel stoped him. But at the cost of great injuries. We shall present him to his melef once he has recovered. *Folken leans back. Dornkirk appraoches the head of the melef. And places his wrinkled hands on its forehead, and leans as much as possible his head towards its. He shuts his eyes tight and begins to talk. The others, unable to hear what he says, watch him perform what ever he is performing* I know you can hear me, melef ! Pardon these restraints that keep you down. If I release you from your restraints, will you tell me your secret to being alive ?
=about Allen...=
*Dilandau grins and jumps up to the hatch and tries to pry it open with his sword but gets frustrated again and reverts to beating at the melef, Folken walks over the Dornkirk, Eriya following close behind* =seems to have a way with melefs=
*Enters the melef hangar. Notices Dilandau talking to Folken and the beast girl. But his complete attention was taken by the living melef. He appraoches it.* Can you hear me, living melef ? *Folken and the beast girl's attention are drawn to Dornkirk as he spoke. Dilandau's attention is also driven to Dornkirk as he sees the two look away from him. Dornkirk waits a few seconds, but the melef doesn't respond* Can he speak, Folken ? *he asks as he looks up at Folken, taking on an un-impressed look. He stroles around the melef to see its composition and jots down some notes* The melef is of customed styled, most likely a gift for the knight. Its exo-skeleton hasn't seemed to have altered. Its still hard. *he touches it, the melef reacts by budging his forearm* He seems to be able to feel. *looks up at Dilandau* You seem to be bored my friend ! Come... open its hatch for me, will you please.
=the living melef=
*Looks around* Ara.. I could have sworn I heard Miguel somewhere. -_- *Gets really bored* WTH is everyone doing? I know I sent those messengers like half an hour ago. >_< *Suddenly loses appetite and decides to leave* Jajuka, just have the cooks place the foods in coolers or warmers incase anyone decides to eat. *Walks to the hangers, notices the struggling piece of junk, and Folken with one of his beasts* That thing is alive again? *Walks up to it and kicks it a bit, then walks back to where Folken and the beast are to watch it**Turns to Folken* Are you going to have the scientists check it out? Because.. if you aren't then I'll burn it. *Grins* Or maybe I could modify it and use it for some fun. I could use another toy.. *Thinks of the various uses for a modified guymelef* It would need a new paint job, but it would make it easier for me to burn down any big provinces that have defenses by backing me up..
[OOC: >_<# Trick-or-Treating sucked for me. Me and my friend only had half an hour to do it and then we ended up not being able to go to this club. I couldn't finish my hand guards and I couldn't find a wig for the costume. -_-;]
=Hmmm??=
Miguel smiles. "Thank you, Lord Dornkirk." Miguel slowly, slowly walks around Hitomi's chair. "I will give you a series of questions, and I want you to answer them. Do cooperate, or we'll be forced to imprison you. And if you still do not relent.." Miguel pauses, stopping in his tracks. "Allen does have another 202 bones." Miguel relishes the sight of Hitomi shuddering, and trying not to look afraid. "Now, for the questions. Firstly. Have your powers come directly from the pendant, or have they been merely assisted by it? Have these powers manifested under your control, and if so, completely, or in part? Have you ever been able to teach, in whole or in part, your abilities to another? How accurate have these.. Visions turned out to be? And finally, what do you know of the pendant's origin?" Miguel stops, and notices Hitomi's hesitation to answer. "I could keep Allen suffering for weeks on end, feeling pain unimaginable, leaving him a shattered, scarred husk.. Or, you could tell me, and avoid all of that." Miguel picks a gleaming stone out of his pocket, and begins to sharpen his blade..
=the pendant -will- be mine..=
*chokes a bit as Hitomi explodes into a little rage* My dear, I did not meant to say it like that. *Hitomi calms down a bit but keeps the angered face* My dear, this world we live in now is much like earth was 400 years ago ! The style which is present now on earth is still unknown to me. Its technologies still unknown as well *Miguel enters and demands to interrogate the mystic girl. After a moment of silence* Maybe you can have more success at making her say something ! I'm begining to dislike the people of the new age... *stroles out of his chamber but stops suddenly as Miguels sits down* Oh, Miguel ! Do not inflict her wounds like you did to that knight...
=pardon me my dear=
*strains against the ropes* Allen...I can sense you...Where are you? *eyes glow red, and more sparks protrude from schezarade's eyes. a strange feeling envelops him* Maybe....Allen doesn't need me. Maybe....Maybe this empire needs me. *stops still for a moment* Allen...Or the empire??=Which side is the right side?=
Miguel steps back into the chamber where Dornkirk and Hitomi reside, (after realising conversation with Dilandau is futile) carrying an exquisite blade, a cross between a butcher's knife and a shortsword, and chuckles at the yelling going on. "Sir, I believe that I should be the one to carry out this interro..questioning session. After all, I have been studying Hitomi's abilities for months. I believe this.." Miguel points his blade at the pendant. "Is a sort of key to her abilties, and with correct analysis, it's powers could be reproduced, and utilized by our soldiers. Van has escaped many times with Hitomi's help, and I believe from teachings she has given him. Imagine the possibilities if our soldiers had such abilities. So, Lord Dornkirk, may I take over? With your supervision, of course."
=matter-of-fact=
WHATDIDHEJUSTSAY!?!?!?! I BEG YOUR PARDON!!! *jaw drops, eyes wide open. scowls at Dornkirk* Well...SIR. Things have changed much since your visit to the Mystic Moon. He's from the Mystic Moon???
=HERUMPH!=
*grabs Eriyas shoulders and moves her away from the waking melef* Eriya! =[ooc : Oh, Schezarade, where art thou?]=
*satisfied of a conversation begining between the two, he answers* Your blond friend will be treated like a prisoner of war until further notice. I hope not to be forced to harm him once again. *finishes his apple as he pauses* He was not intended to come. At first we wished only the Escaflowne, but the sudden turn of events have changed certain plans. For now this living melef is a most interesting thing that must be studied.
=and so you speak=
Van stood by himself on the deserted battlefield, not wanting to believe that Hitomi had just been captured. Hearing Millerna, he slowly turned to face her, a shocked and defeated expression on his face. Gritting his teeth, and gathering all the strength he had left, he muttered a quick "Ok" and nodded to her. Then he slowly turned, first looking at Escaflowne, then off towards the distance where Hitomi had disappeared to, and then back to Escaflowne. "Alright! Let's go! We've got no time to waste!" He hastily climbed into Escaflowne, while yelling to Millerna, "Stay back at the palace! It's much safer there!"
=kinda shocked=
* Wanders around looking for Folken after placing Allen in custody of the guards, spots him looking at Shezarade* Master Folken! Everythign is going as planned. Allen is in the custody of the guards. Is there anythign you wish me to do? *stares up into his eyes* sigh *stands by him pationatly and waits for a responce*
=Anything more?=
Come on! Let's go Van! *looks up at him* Hitomi needs us now more than ever!* I hope she's safe! Van! Who knows what their tryign to make her do! SHe has special powers and who knows what they want to do with them. *Shivers slightly of the thought of Vione* I just hope ... I just hope she's ok...
=We're coming Hitomi!=
*stops fingering the pendant* Why does he want to know?I...I...It was from my grandmother... *clutches the pendant protectively* So... Say something *Thinks for a moment, and adds anxiously* What will happen to Allen??? *Green eyes still puffy from the tears before* You won't hurt him again, will you? What do you plan to do with him??
=o.O=
*Hitomi is always sitted on the same chair, grasping her pendant. Dornkirk still sitting across the room opn his wheel chair, looking at her, trying to have a decent conversation. But she continues to fear him* She seems to hold to her pendant dearly ! What can be so special about a rock ? *sighs* Maybe it is the secret to her power that distorts my visions but seems to allow her to seem them clearly Where did you procure that pendant which you seem to hold dear to *points the hand holding the pendant* A friend or a family member I suppose ? *Dornkirk puts on a curious face*
=her power...=
*Is still in the hangar with Schezarade studying it in detail* Hmmm ... there is nothing that is technicaly different than what I thought. Its just like a normal guymelef ... but then why is it able to move by itself? =Im just glad that me and Miguel tied it up so well=
Miguel instructs the prison guards to give his cell a wide birth, and to watch over him closely for the next few hours, while he gets some things done. The guards nod and carry Allen to the maximum security cells. Miguel pauses. "I almost had the pendant.. almost. Well, enough plotting for a little while, I think I'll have a snack." Miguel wanders into the kitchen, and notices Dilandau scarfing down some food, and ordering a few servants around, who are decorating the area with large red ribbons, red Zaibach emblems, and laying down a red table cloth with all white utensils and dinner plates. "Well, Dilandau. I can't say I fault your taste." Miguel glances around, smiling at the setup. "I hope Allen's screaming has not disturbed the cooks?" Miguel grins at Dilandau, too busy scarfing down food to respond. "Dilandau, I have something to request." Miguel leans close to Dilandau, and says quietly in his ear. "Hitomi is in posession of a pendant. This will be vital to our campaign. Lord Dornkirk doesn't see the value in possessing it. It seems to be a sort of key that unlocks her strange potential. I need your support in requesting permission to confiscate the pendant."
=i almost had it.. almost..=
*Finds Jajuka standing beside the large dining table with many different foods prepared. Eyes the Deviled Eggs hungrily, then looks back at Jajuka with a surprized expression* I could have sworn I left all those cooks on the ground, how did you find soo many replacements in such a short time? *Looks back at the Deviled Eggs* There's soo many different looking ones! *Walks over to the table and picks on of them up. Studies the contents for a second and pops it in his mouth.* O_O Hoooly sheeeit! This is good, what's in it?? We should have a grand feast for getting that piece of junk Schezarade and that dumb Mystic moon girl! *Yells for one of his messengers and has him notify his Dragon Slayers and a couple of other people that there'll be a feast in the main dining hall.* Jajuka, go get some of those designer people to spruce up this place for the feast. Tell them to use red as the main color. XD
=*Stomach growl*=
*Dornkirk takes out his knife and aims it to Miguel's face* THAT'S ENOUGH MIGUEL !! *he shouts pushing on his throat, making Miguel's head lean back. He finally desides to let go of Allen, who crashes back down* Thats enough... *he repeats calmly. Miguel gets up and stands at the door*
=this day is going fine=
Sighs, and drops to his knees. "Again, there's planning to be done. But, if you insist.." Miguel deftly seizes Allen's left hand, and with a practised manuever, breaks his pointer finger, eliciting a barely-concious shudder from Allen. "Two hundred and four..." Miguel keeps his eyes and his shortsword fixed on Hitomi, and moves on to Allen's middle finger, breaking it easily. "Two hundred and three..." He then repeats this with Allen's ring finger. "Two hunred and two..."
=unusually patient=
*Turns around and sees Dilandau* Lord Dilandau you're back. I trust you are well? *Sees that he has his sword drawn* There is no need for that. The cooks and I have been working all day to prepare your favorite dishes.
=ready for some screaming=
*was guiding allen up, when he falls back to the ground* Allen! *shakes the shoulder nearest to her slightly. fights back a sob* allen! allen! *looks at the point of miguels' sword* What should I do? Would he really kill me? With Dornkirk right there? *fingers her pendant slightly, her green eyes welling up with tears* Van...Save us!
=whats a girl to do?=
Miguel snarls. "Now look what you've done, Allen! You've gotten blood all over my uniform. And on the carpet, too!" Miguel shakes his head sadly. "Knights -indeed-. They don't posess a single ounce of chivalry." Miguel sighs. He tosses his shortsword up in the air, and catches it so that the point once again rests millimetres from hitomi's face. "Please make it quick. I have a busy schedule, you know."
[OOC: Why thank you. :D]
=and it was such a nice carpet..=
eyelids quiver...
* Allen wakes up, coughing, rolls over on his hands as the blood erupts from his mouth.* "Urg.. oh.." *coughs up more blood* "Hi- Hitomi?.. what's happening.. Oh.." *sees Miguel, hate wallows up in his eyes... more blood dribbles from his lips* Allen pulls up the strength to get on one knee, getting support from Hitomi. Glares up at Miguel, but no words come to his lips. With a raspy whisper, he manages to mutter a few words..."Schezarade... If you can hear me... Help..." And he falls to the foor.
=your ass is mine...=
*Docks his Melef and jumps out. Stomach growls.* I need food! @_@; I swear, I'm going to bite anyone that gets in my way! *Briskly walks through the corridors and long hallways. Hears screams and loud crashes coming from somewhere and listens intently to the commotion.* Hmm.. is that a whip I hear? *Listens a while longer, then rolls eyes* Chh... our soldiers really should get drugged to sleep so they don't do these things anymore. -_- *Blows the whole thing off as being just a couple of lustful soldiers and continues on his path to the kitchen.* Those cooks better be awake or I might have to do some torture of my own. *Brandishes his sword as he walks into the kitchen*
[OOC: XDD Miguel your soo sadistic!]
=Oooh=
I think my work is done *wipes hands on pants, and slowly tries to slip away inconspicuosly. is edging backwards when he accidentally falls down a set of stairs leading to the lower level of the hanger* @#%!
=AHH!=
Miguel smirks. "It wasn't my fault. He didn't have to go and break out of his cell. Ahh well, we all make mistakes." Miguel holds his razor-edged shortsword out at arm's length, centimetres from Hitomi's face. "The pendant, if you please?"
=merciless=
*runs over to allen, dropping the apple half and kneels down beside him. looks up at miguel and bites down tears* what did you do to him??? *glares at miguel and holds allens limp hand* Allen! Allen! *fights back a sob and turns to dornkirk* So this is what Zaibach does in its spare time.
=!!!!=
Miguel slams Allen with both forearms against the wall, then kicks allen in the head, holding allen's head against the wall with his foot while Miguel whips him again and again, then begins pummeling Allen on his broken shoulder, eliciting loud screams from Allen. Miguel continues, until Allen's unconcious. He then picks up the bloody, battered, but not dead body of Allen, and walks towards Dornkirk's chamber. He opens the large doors, walking in on a surprised Hitomi and Dornkirk. "Dornkirk, treat this as an official request for a more qualified team of prison guards." He throws the body outside into the hall. Miguel chuckles at Hitomi's hororified look. Miguel points to Hitomi's hands, clutched tightly at her chest. "Lord Dornkirk, you do realise that she's calling for help as we speak, don't you?"
=Irritated=
*looks into her eyes, he can clearly see she is frightened*
Fear me not young lady... I am no blood lusting person, I seek not to harm anyone that does not cause me harm *smirks*
If I'm guessing right ! You might be thinking of Fanelia's destruction... *sighs. he looks away for a sec and looks back at Hitomi* I had to destroy it because it held the one thing keeping me from seeing future events *Hitomi interupts* Escaflowne ! *Dornkirk takes a breath* yes. You seem to know of it. *he pauses* But it seems that you have become a problem to my objectives. Ever since you've arrived, my visions have become more then just blurry, what the Escaflowne has been doing, but you have been altering my visions. I cannot tell anymore if its going to happen or not...*he takes a bite out of his apple. And looks at Hitomi afraid of poison or something from the apple* The apple is ok you know. I would never dare poison a woman, even I wasn't expecting you...
=fear me not . . .=
*holds the apple half dumbly, and stands there goggling at dornkirk* um... i felt a little dizzy, but i think that was from the smell of the bubble... *inspects the apple* What if it's poisonous? *frowns slightly* um... let me go!! *sits down in the chair, and subconciously holds her pendant protectively* Van....If you can hear me.... Help me!
=Uh....=
Dammit! I want to take a bubble bath! *sighs, and hops back into his guymelef, wraps his crima claw round schezarade's legs, and hops back out. tries to slip away quietly while folken drools over the guymelef* I think my feet deserve a nice pumice scrub
=Pampering time XP=
Miguel steps out of Dornkirk's chamber. "I capture something possibly more important than Schezarade, an easy way to lure Van into a trap.. And not only does Dornkirk even think for a second of ransoming her, he chastises me on my hostage procedures!" Miguel grumbles. "Was I supposed to just leave her unrestrained, so she could easily escape? I think not." Miguel, passing by his room, hears a clatter of metal coming from underneath him. "Wait, what's under... the cells. Allen." Miguel runs into his room, notices the state of it, and the sheep on the floor. Miguel curses loudly. "Well, right now, I have bigger sheep to stew." Miguel lifts a razor-sharp shortsword, and a nine-tailed whip off a small rack of torture implements. He also quickly slips on some lighter boots, for stealth. "There we are." Miguel quickly, but silently closes the door and heads quickly down to the cell block access, being careful not to make too much noise. He turns the corner, and hearing Allen's footsteps, dodges back around the corner, and flattens himself towards the wall. As Allen approaches and begins to turn the corner, Miguel takes his chance and cracks his nine-tailed whip across Allen's face, and stabs the shortsword into his leg simultaneously, sending Allen reeling. "Leaving, Schezar? So soon?"
=feeling vicious=
wakes up with horrible headache... groggy, blurred vision... in a cell? what..?
remembers the battle... and a stinging, horrible pain in his left shoulder... Hmm... My shoulder is broken... *winces, looks around...* Dragonslayers. Two of them. Armed. Where the hell am I...? A prison cell.
"Wuhh..." Allen mumbles.
"Shut up."
*looks at ground and gags, moves forward to bars, gets on knees*
"He's gonna spew! Ahh!" The guard jumps out of the way. At the same time, Allen's arm lunges forward and grabs his shirt, and pulls him into the bars. He falls.
"HEY! STOP!"
The next guard runs forward. Allen grabs the unconcious guards sword through the bars, moves it up, and through the dragonslayer's chest. Blood stains the blade. The Dragonslayer falls.
"More lives, wasted..." Allen sighs... He looks around, and grabs the keys from the guard's waist. Opening the steel door, he takes the sword and keys, pulls on one of their uniforms, and takes off down the hall, into the darkness...
=hmm...=
*Much time has passed since they've docked upon the Vione. Miguel guides Hitomi out the vessel and into the fortress of Zaibach capitol. Miguel enters Dornkirk's chamber, always keeping his knife to her throat. As he enters the room, Dornkirk swings a knife of his own up to Miguel's throat and gently says* A lady must not be harmed ! For its rancom, if there is one, won't be as high if she is dead. Am I understood ! *Miguel nods approvingly* Now put that knife away boy ! *Miguel hesitates, but decides to put it away. He is followed by Dornkirk* Leave us. *Miguel tries to reply* Thats an order. *He leaves*
=a lady must not be harmed=
*opens cockpit* Gatti, we still need to tie this thing down. *Gatti looks confused* =I have you now!=
Miguel opens the cockpit and sees Hitomi sprawled on the floor. He removes a concealed knife from one of his boots, and pulls Hitomi up, holding the knife to her throat. "Understand this. If you so much as breathe too loudly, I will not hesitate to kill you." Miguel smirks at Hitomi's stunned silence. "I thought you'd see things my way. Now, we're going for a walk." Miguel, still holding the knife at Hitomi's throat, moves behind her, and grabs ahold of her arms with his other arm. With that, he starts leading her through the cobweb of hallways toward Dornkirk's chamber.
=Still triumphant=
*finally releases schezarade after reaching the vione. pants a little, opens cock pit, and hops out* Ow....That was so heavy.... I need a bubble bath *Rubs his sore arm and looks at Lord Folken, and straigtens up*
=Finally did something right ^^;;=
*feels the guymelef stop moving* We must be at the floating fortress *The bubble turns back to a claw, and she falls out of what used to be the bubble and onto the cold floor. she looks up at her kidnapper and gets up, fear running through her* How do I get out of here?=We're here...=
*explains to Gatti* Wrap a claw around it and fly paralell to me back to the Vione. (easily said) =pleased=
*Without any hesitation nods toward Folken and runs over to were Allen is* Finally something is going right *Picks the knight up along with Schezarade's massive sword and heads back to the Vione*
=Let's go=
*Frantically runs towards Van* VAN! *runs into the middle of Dilandau and Van and stops dead in her tracks realising what she's done* Oh my god! What am I doing?! VAN! *Realises he's injured and runs up to Escaflowne* =What about Hitomi??=
*Stares at the Com link - furious* WTH is this? Am I being disobeyed?! *On Com link* Go. Aid. Miguel. NOW! I'm not going to hold off Escaflowne forever. And I haven't had lunch yet! *Growls as Van and he struggle. As Van takes flight he makes one last efforted attack at the Escaflowne and shoots out a metallic spear at the dragon* Hmph... *Turns to watch Folken and Gatti try to pick up the Schezarade* The thing is barely even being lifted off the ground. -_-;[OOC: I can't see the scroll bar. ;_;]
=GRRR=
*returns to where lord folken is and looks at Schezarade, then back at lord folken* dur..... *pokes Schezarade and looks back at lord folken* um..... *tries to look smart*
=uh.....=
*sees Schezarade fall - wraps crima claw around arms (just in case)* =its not over yet !=
"Argh!" Van struggles to get out of Dilandau's firm grasp. He finally managed to grab his sword and flung it towards Dilandau, who immediately loosened his grasp on Escaflowne to dodge the blow. Van quickly struggled some more and got free. Swinging the giant sword a couple more times, he yelled "Hitomi!!!" And attempted to transform Escaflowne into it's dragon mode and fly away.=must..save..Hitomi..=
One of the best things about living in Asturia and in the palace are the Knight Caeli..! However, excited I may be I must always remember to remain aloof and reserved especially around the Commander. Allen Schezar... that name has such a nice sound to it.
=delighted=
*Dornkirks head continues to nodge back and forth, left to right, up and down. His looks at the liquid metal walls of the "bubble"* Oh god, it smells awful *Dornkirk heres her voice. He sees her tentatively touche the wall, and they give way to her fingers, but no hole is created.* Van! Help me! *He hears her pefectly. After a few moments of more twitching he and she hears a muffled cry from outside* Is that Millerna ? *Says Hitomi. She sits on the floor of the bubble but stands back up* It doesn't feel very stable... Van, I'm scared...*Dornkirk suddenly feels a force rise within him, evrything goes white. He is knocked back into his chair. He awakes from his vision. Some of the librairians and visitors gaze at him. But do not dare approach him* -sighs-...that was something !
=the vision continues=
*realizes lord dilandau has escaflowne under control* So much for proving myself.... *Hears some feedback* AH! DID I SAY THAT OUTLOUD?!?!? *runs off and tries to looks busy* I can always blame it on Guimel....=Whoops=
Vision.....blurry.....Allen.....*Schezarade crumbles to it's knees, spitting Allen out of it's cockpit* I'm so....sorry..... All--*Goes unconcious...*=No...=
*Hears a muffled cry from outside* Is that Millerna? *Sits on the floor of the bubble but stands back up* It doesn't feel very stable... Van, I'm scared...=What's going to happen from here?=
*eats the last rose before he hears someone scolding him. He looks around to find the source of the noise and realizes he's the only one around* aw crap....*he gets into his melef and leaves, he fiddles around with the com link* wah.....you're breaking up....i cant hear you (Hopefully he'll believe that the com link was going screwy.) Meanwhile. *The sheep explores miguels room* Baaah...*starts eating anything he finds.* >.<# *leaves more surprise gifts for him to step on*
=But he took my sheep!!=
*hears Eriya at his side* Try not to damage it more then is nescessary. There is something different about this melef, I want to take it back to the Vione for analysis. =have a nice sleep did we? ^_^=
*Wraps the claws around Escaflowne's body, trapping it's arms by it's sides, and grins* Your not going ANYWHERE Vaa~n! *Tightens the claws grip on the guymelef* *On the com link* Guimel! Lazy bas.. go back up Miguel while he takes that girl to the Vione! *Ends transmission*[OOC: >_<# Stupid work is taking up most of my day now. Its starting to piss me off. I can't take it anymore. I barely have anymore time to get on the net to check my e-mails and things and now my computer is being a POS because my dad reformatted C drive and decided to upgrade some things on it and add stupid stuff.]
=-_-=
Van looks up in horror. "Hitomi!!" he screamed, as he drew his sword, and guided Escaflowne quickly and swiftly to where Miguel was holding her. Oof! He crashed into a giant lump which turned out to be Dilandau. "Out of my way!" he raged and tried to maneuver around him, but Dilandau drew his sword and kept a tight hold on Escaflowne and Van. "No! Hitomi!!" Van kicked and screamed as he watched Miguel drag Hitomi away from the battlefield. "NOOO!!"
=NOO! Hitomi!!=
*stares blankly at Merle* What on earth did she just say *comes back to reality and realizes Hitomi's stiuation* AGHHHHHHHHHHH! HITOMI!!!!! *watches the gaint bubble with the frantic Hitomi* I KNEW that this was going to happen! Don't go Hitomi... Van will be FINE Hitomi... NO NO NO. We just HAD to go follow him didnt WE!!! NOW look whats happened. I have to go find Van! *starts to run away* Damn skirt! Mental note to self: next time following Hitomi- wear PANTS!
=OMG OMG OMG=
*Eriya finally joined the Dragon Slayers after a long nap. Emerging from the Vione in her Teiring, she spotted Lord Folken attacking a guymelef, and stealthily joined his side* Shall we finish him, master folken?
=* Back and ready *=
*looks at the liquid metal walls of the "bubble" sadly.* Oh god, it smells awful *Tentatively touches the walls, and they give way to her fingers, but no hole is created.* Van! Help me!......
=Ack!=
*smirks when seeing hitomi being captured. notices escaflowne off guard, and goes into stealth mode* This is my chance to show what I've got...Hehehe *Gets ready to attack*
=I've got you now!=
*In the kitchen helping the cooks make a feast for the return of Dilandau and the Dragonslayers because they are always hungry after a fight* I hope Lord Dilandau is alright.=worried=
*Dornkirk continues his reading when suddenly he feels a rise within his heart* sighs ! *feels stressed, he begins to breath rapidly* what th... ! *looks around. Some of the people working there don't notice his reaction. Grabs to the side of his wheel chair. Closes his eyes and begins to breath slowly. After a few dozen seconds he calms down. His head begins to twitch from one side to another. He opens his eyes and sees nothing. Its dark, the floor and round walls are cold and metallic. He heres a female voice. The eyes from which is sees through is her's.* The Mystic Girl ! I sense her...she is within the grasp of a Alseides, but who's ?
=I feel what is the girl !=
*sees Schezarades head turn slightly (attention momentarily caught by Miguel kidnapping Hitomi) grins* Perfect! =in quite a violent mood=
Miguel, approaching the battlefield in his melef, notices Hitomi out in the open, and smirks. "Idiot. Well, she's too important to let her get killed in the crossfire.. However, I'm not at all below capture.." Miguel smirks, uncloaks, and forms a scoop out of his crima claw, and picks up Hitomi, then morphs it into a bubble, keeping Hitomi inside. "No time to celebrate now..." Miguel's melef flies the coop, trying to get away as quickly as he can.
=Triumphant=
*watches in horror as a guymelef comes charging towards allen and van* VAN! ALLEN! Oh no, my vision... It's coming true...! *Instinctively runs towards the guymelefs, and realizes what she is doing, and takes one step back.* WhatcanIdo, WhatcanIdo, WhatcanIdo? *wrings hands, and turns to Millerna and Merle* What should we do??=NO!=
