The Cb Chronicles

[Kaylee4Christ]

Chappy 113

"NOOOOO!" Kaylee shouted. "YOU'VE GOT TO UNDERSTAND! IT'S NOT WHAT YOU THINK!". The mods dragged her away, taking out their little books to charge her with something or other. Two pinned her against the wall as she kicked and screamed. Finally she was still. "Look, I've been trapped in my profile by other means for weeks. You've got to understand! This is a total accident!" she insisted. Finally the mods lessened their grips.

They put her in the waiting room, while they thought about the situation.

Mod1: "It is Kaylee, after all."
Mod2: "Maybe she's right."
Mod3: "Or maybe this is a plot to take down CF, and someone is paying her with blessings to carry out the plan."
Mod4: "Shut up."
Mod3: "Okay."
Mod4: "Anyway, we should probably just let her go and keep an eye on her."

All the mods agreed. The sent her off with a warning and a tag. A tag is one of those things that they put on her, to make sure she didn't stray far from one mod, and this one time she was assigned to the chatbox mod. She groaned and rolled her eyes, as she was hooked up to a place in the wall. there was something holding her from going anywhere. The mod kept a close eye on her as well as the chatbox.

Kaylee sat on the couch with her eyes down and her long curly hair falling about her shoulders. She was ashamed of what had happened, even though it hadn't been her fault. As she was marched from the mod station, she couldn't bring herself to look at Akuma or Nin. She just couldn't believe what had happened.

Now, as she sat, she looked up at the mod quickly, and a look of sympathy flashed through the mod's eyes, then was gone, as they had to break up a rising fight between two members.

Kaylee saw her chance and broke the system binding her. She snuck out of the cb and ran as far as she could, to her member's control panel. There she hid, for many hours, and it turned into days. She rocked back and forth, hugging her knees, a blank look in her eyes as her mind was far away.

"Please come save me," she whispered.

 

[Akuma]

Chapter 114: To The Tower

Akuma sat chained to the wall. They were in some part of the Gallery section, somewhere not often used. The troll was sharpening his talons idly. "I'll ask you one more time, fairy boy. Give it up."
Akuma clunched his hands. "Never." It had been days since his capture and ever since the troll had demanded the same thing: Give up the chase for the Dark Tower. Impossible.
The troll sighed and went back to sharpening his talons on Akuma's sword.
Akuma didn't know who sent the troll but he had a feeling that if he ever got away from this, it wouldn't be their last encounter. As if triggered by his thought, a swift shadow leaped silently into the section where they were. The troll did not notice. A move as swift as fluid and the troll toppled over. Nin stood over him, wiping off his katana. "Good. I found you."
He released Akuma from his chains, handed him his sword, and explained what happened.
"But Kaylee was taken from the mods and you were there, right? How did you get out of there unnoticed?"
Nin looked at him, annoyed. "Friend, I'm a ninja."
"Right."
"And I know where Kaylee's hiding too. I haven't rescued her yet, though. I don't have a good plan. All I can think of his bursting into the member's control panel and taking her in front of everyone."
Akuma thought for a moment before grinning. "Then that's exactly what we'll do."

Kaylee was thinking about giving herself up when there was a loud humming noise. She looked up to see a vast ship hovering in the sky above her. A beam of light shot down near her and Akuma's voice boomed from a speaker on the ship: "Get in, Kaylee! We've got to go!"
Kaylee heard the shouts of mods as they began to swarm into the panel. One yelled at the ship, "Akuma, you better not assist her! I know Nin's bound to be with you and you'll get in a heap of trouble with helping an outlaw."
Akuma's laugh answered him. "Has that ever stopped me before? Then we'll all be outlaws! It doesn't matter, gents! Kaylee, get in! WE're off to find the Dark Tower!"
Kaylee dove into the light as the mods leapt at her. There was a strange dizzying sensation and she found herself sucked aboard the ship. Nin gripped her arm to steady her and grinned wildly.
Akuma cackled as arrows bounced off the ship's armor. "Stump, get us out of here!" He pointed at the large panels of windows showing their surroundings, not pointing at anything in specific but, rather, some unseen goal. "To the Tower!"

No one was able to stop the agile ship.

 

[Kaylee4Christ]

(( Woah Akuma that was totally awesome. I just got back and its almost midnight. I'd write, but I'm tired, and plus it's Nin's turn. ))

 

[Ninjitsu14]

(((My turn, my turn, bah . You always point at me as if I've done something, or haven't, in this case )))

Chapter 115: Victims

Nin let go of Kaylee, as she dusted herself off. "How did we...? I mean, what I meant to say is, what happened back there?" she asked. She was shaky, as anyone would have been after escaping several mods grasp, dove into a flashing light that warped her into the ship (and made her dizzy, to boot). "Well, part of it was the fact that you were captured, and you escaped when you had a tag on you, you fled from mods, and we aided your escape. But, that doesn't matter, as we've gotten out of much more sticky situations before, right?" he grinned. Even in perilous times, Nin always managed to look on the bright side. "I'm sure if we PM erwin explaining the whole thing, he'll let us off with an unofficial warning"

Then there was a ping. A ping on the radar. They were leaving CF's atmosphere, and heading into cyber space. There shouldn't be any aircraft for miles......but there was. Nin jumped over the seat, and began typing at the co-pilots computer. He analyzed the data from the radar. "It seems to be a level 2 troll......" said Nin,making a hologram of the troll. "Hey! That's the one that captured me!" said Akuma. "You've seen him? I thought as soon as he would meet you, he'd be down for sure, but he's still alive...you must be getting soft, Akuma..." said Nin, making the hologram disappear. "Watch your tounge, Nin, I have a sword, and I know how to use it..." he said. "Oh please, that toothpick? It couldn't hurt a fly!"

Stump said something in Squeakish (in other words, rat speak), and Akuma nodded. "Stump's right, we need to stop fighting. If that troll lived after meeting me, then he MUST be dangerous!" Nin grabbed the wheel from Stump. "You better let ME drive..."

The Troll was flying towards Akuma's ship. It wasn't hard to follow. He had been hiding in the User Control Panel when the mods found Kaylee escaping. after the mods had gone back to the Station, he had simply taken flight, following the aircraft. The ship was exiting the atymosphere. He had to catch it before it left orbit, otherwise he wouldn't be able to survive in outer space. He pressed a button on the sling over his shoulder, and wings ejected from his backpack. He pressed a thruster button, and he was gaining on the ship. Suddenly, it turned around to face him. "Uh...oh..." he said, as the blasters began to charge.

Nin grinend a wild and crazy grin. "Say bye-bye, sucka......" he said. He held the blaster button, and then released. a charged bolt of atomic energy flew towards the troll, and collided with him. "That should take care of him...wait a minute....."

The troll had caught the atomic bolt! He held it, struggling with it, and flung it over the ship. The troll was obviously injured. "I'll get you Akuma! You'll NEVER be able to reach the Dark Tower! There are many more powerful trolls than I with atleast half enough power to take care of you pathetic Earthlings! Just you wait!" and with that, he disappeared.

"Woah....there are even more powerful trolls than him...and they won't even have to use a third of their power! But I had trouble with him!" said Akuma, sweating. "I think you boys owe me an explination..." said Kaylee, putting her hands on her hips. "Don't look at me! Akuma's the one obsessed with the Dark Tower!" said Nin, pointing at Akuma. Kaylee tapped her foot, waiting for the explination to come. "Well, it all started when we were in Lumina's game..."

((You guys never fail to make me laugh ))

Chapter 116: Abandoned Blog 9000349588887231534564432

"Sounds a bit foolish to me," Kaylee sniffed as Akuma and Nin finished their explanation. "I mean, tramping off after something you saw for a few seconds, not to mention something that someone doesn't want you to find. Use your brains, you knuckleheads! Someone sent that troll and it sounds like they've got more waiting!"
Akuma pointed an accusing finger at Kaylee. "That's a lot of thanks for an outlaw we saved our butts for! I mean, if Erwin doesn't accept our apology and reasons, we're as wanted as you!"
Nin chuckled. "C'mon, Kaylee! It'll be like good ol' times--you know, us going around kicking butt and you getting kidnapped."
Kaylee rolled her eyes. "Oh, yeah, a blast."

Stump, watching the navigation system, let out an excited squeak. Akuma raised an eyebrow and the rat explained. "T-There's a planet, I mean, site nearby. Nothing remarkable, it's been abandoned for a long time--a blog, number 9000349588887231534564432 to be precise. But the information database shows that the blogger's last entry spoke of a t-tower."
Akuma grinned and relayed the information.
"I'm not sure," Nin leaned on the wheel. "That seems a bit too easy. That we got a lead so quickly is fishy. Not to mention our chances of randomly searching in cyberspace, something bigger than space itself, maybe."
Akuma shrugged. "It's better than nothing."
Kaylee, however, frowned. It was too easy. She shivered and tried to cast out the idea from her mind that it might be a trap.

Chapter 117: Disaster on Abandoned Site

Nin steered the wheel towards the blog, carful of asteroids and other space debris., Eventually, they found the abandoned site. "If this site had RECENT information about the tower, than it must have been abandoned not too long ago....that, or something killed everything on the site....." Kaylee shivered behind him. "K-killed?" she stuttered. "It's probably nothing. They probably got the information on the tower if it got close, and abandoned the site, thinking it was a threat..." said Nin. "Let's hope your right..." said Akuma.

Nin docked the ship in the bay, locking all the ports so the ship wouldn't float away. There was no electricity, so they all held flashlights. They all had to wear space suits, since there was no oxygen. "Okay, we need to find the main computer so we can get some more info on the tower...." said Akuma. "Right, and once we get more info, then we'll know what we're dealing with" said Nin, glaring at Kaylee. "What? It's not like we should rush into battle so stupidly..." said Kaylee.

As they wandered down the abandoned sites halls, they noticed it bore an uncanny resemblance to their own CF. "I bet this is the prototype version of CF......" said Nin, looking around. Kayle walked through a spider web, and tried desperately to get it off her helmet. "Clearly, people haven't been here for a long time....." said Kaylee. Then she noticed something in the shadows. "W-what was that?" she said, grabbing Akuma's shoulder. "Your probably seeing things..." said Akuma. Kaylee wheeled Akuma around to face her. "Don't you watch the scary movies! It's NEVER just seeing things!" she said, almost bawling. "Alright, alright, alright! We'll stick close, and keep an eye out for whatever is trying to get us......." said Akuma. Nin unsheathed his katana, while Akuma and Kaylee charged their blasters to full (for self defense, of course). They crept down the halls, silently. "Don't forget, our prime focus is to get to the main computer--" said Akuma. "And get out as fast as we can!" said Kaylee, finishing his sentence. Then Nin's flashlight went dead. "Stupid batteries.....Kaylee, can you tell your arm to please let go ogf my waist..." he said. "Chance, I'm over here..." said Kaylee, pointing her flashlight to her face. "Then what is this thing.....what the--?!" the tentacle wrapped around his waist dragged Nin down a manhole. "Chance!" said Kaylee and Akuma in unison. "See, the funny guy AL:WAYS goes first....!!" said Nin, his voice fading as the tentacle dragged him down the manhole.


"Akuma, we have to do something!" said Kaylee. Akuma was sitting in the corner, his arms wrapped around his knees, rocking back and forth, saying "There's no place like home, there's no place like home..." Kaylee slapped Akuma, but she slapped his helmet rather than his face. "Pull yourself together! We have to find Chance, and then get out of here!" said Kaylee. She grabbed Akuma by the scruff of the neck, and began walking down the hall.

[Kaylee4Christ]

(( Great job guys, it sounds just like me! ))

Chappy 118

"NINNNNNNNNNNNN!" Kaylee screamed down the hole. "NIN!" but there was only echoes. Finally she gave up and went off looking for him instead, dragging Akuma behind her.

Kaylee looked in every door, looking for Nin. "Come on Akuma, we gotta hurry up and find him. We NEED the funny guy!" she said between clenched teeth.

"Ooh, is someone scared?" Akuma teased.

Kaylee wheeled around to face him. "Of COURSE I'm not!" she shouted, her voice ringing. "Maybe a little," she admitted. "OKAY I'M TOTALLY SCARED!" she cried, clinging to Akuma's leg.

Akuma swiped politely yet slightly annoyed at her and finally pried her from his pant leg. "Come on, we gotta get Nin. And quick."

The two hurried down the hallway, and finally found a closed door. Kaylee and Akuma looked at each other, and Kaylee pushed Akuma towards the door. "You do it," she whispered.

Akuma glared at Kaylee, then turned to face the door. Then, gently, he poked at the door. He tried again. This time the old door swung open, moaning and creaking. Kaylee yowled and jumped behind Akuma.

Akuma left Kaylee out in the hallway and went inside. "You stay here, you big scaredy-cat," he said over his shoulder. She wasn't listening.

Akuma walked into the room. It was strange and old and incredibly dusty. Akuma looked up and saw a hole in the ceiling. He climbed on top of some old boxes and into the hole, finding himself in a big tunnel going up. He used some sticky stuff to help him while he climbed, stopping every few jumps to rest.

Finally he found Nin, in an old abandoned room. It looked like he had been kidnapped, or something, but Akuma couldn't be sure. He took a step towards Nin, and whispered his name. "Nin!"

Something grabbed Akuma from behind and threw him back down the hole, making him fall down, down down. Finally he hit the boxes he had climbed on previously, and then fell to the floor. Kaylee ran in and helped him up. "Gee whiz, Akuma. You need to be more careful," she said, brushing him off. She then looked up at his face. "What's wrong?"

"It's Nin!" he breathed pointing up into the hole.

[Akuma]

((Great chappies, guys!! In today's chapter I finally reveal Akuma's wife's name! O_O))
Chapter 119: Anti-virus

"...and something's up there!" Akuma explained quickly.
"Throw me up there," Kaylee said. "We don't have time."
Akuma nodded and Kaylee placed her space boot ((tee hee, space boot)) in his cupped hands. "I'll follow you up." he said before throwing her up the hole. Kaylee landed at the edge gracefully and had her blaster pointing before her. The area was shadowed except for a beam of light that focused onto Nin, who was stuck to the floor by a gooey and pulsating substance. He was half-concious. Kaylee felt herself gag before aiming the blaster and firing. The ooze shied away, as if living, and Nin slumped free of its grasp. "Wha...?"
"I'm here!" Akuma gasped as he scrambled up the hole. He furiously wished his wings weren't suppressed by the spacesuit.
"A door!" Kaylee pointed. "Let's get out of this little room."
Akuma glanced around the room before satisfying his suspicions. Whatever had struck him before was gone now. Through the door they helped Nin stagger through and they found themselves in a dark and empty hangar.
Something whipped out of the darkness and coiled around Akuma's ankle, jerking him off his feet and into the darkness.
"Akuma!" Kaylee cried. In one arm she supported Nin, her free hand gripping the blaster before him.
"Alien..." Nin muttered dazedly.
Kaylee frowned and watched the darkness. A shape suddenly flew by and Akuma crashed into the wall behind them. He let out a cry has his back and wings hit the cold metal. Distracted, Kaylee was barely able to shove Nin and herself out of a flinging tentacle in time. Her blaster fired into the darkness but there was no response. The tentacle slid back into the darkness. "What is it?" she shouted to Akuma. "What did you see?"
Akuma coughed blood as he struggled to his feet. "It's...a..." he shook his head and tapped a code onto the database lodge into his suit's wrist. "Stump?"
"Stump's taking a break," his wife answered on the radio. "What do you need?"
"Anja, I need a hack..."
"Anja?" Shadow snapped awake. "All this time and it was Anja? What kind of name is--" he fell unconcious as Kaylee poked him in the head.
"What kind of hack?"
"Anti-virus Alpha Level 3."
"Got it."
There was a pause before his wrist glowed. Akuma's entire body lit up in a golden glow and he unsheathed his sword. Sparks erupted as he did so and the darkness retreated, revealing a huge form of writhing limbs and moist tentacles. Akuma grinned. Somewhere in the back of his mind, the theme to Austin Powers was playing in his mind. He leapt forward.
The virus lashed out, all of its flailing tentacles aiming at the fairy. Akuma, powered up by the anti-virus, was too fast, dodging each member cooly. Soon he reached the beast itself and the creature recoiled its tentacles, locking each together and forming a slimy barrier between itself and the fairy king. Akuma barked a laugh and swung his sword. Yellow pus oozed from the stumps and he flung himself at the virus, one hand on his sword, the other outstretched in a fist. There was a blinding light as his fist hit the virus and the beast shriveled up before exploding in a billion peices of 1s and 0s.
Akuma, no longer lit up, rested his sword on his shoulder and smirked at Kaylee. "I don't think someone wants us here."

 

[Ninjitsu14]

Chapter 120: If Chance Was Concious, He'd Say 'Wha?!'

Kaylee fell to her knees, staring at Akuma. "All this time you could do thaT, and you waited until NOW?!" she said through clenched teeth. She set Nin down, and tied her hair in a ponytail. Nin forced his eyes open, and looked at Kaylee. "Kaylee, will you read me the story about the bunny again.....?". Kaylee looked at him. "I'm just gonna pretend that's the concussion talking. You okay?" Nin forced himself upright, and rubbed the back of his head. "Yeah, I'm fine. My mom always did say I had a hard head!" Then they noticed where they were. They were inside the control room, and everything was online. Akuma walked over to the computer, and sent an E-mail with the information on the Dark Tower to his own ship. "Beam us up, Anja!" said Akuma. He leaned over to Kaylee. "I always did wanna say that" he laughed, snorting like the nerd that he was. Kaylee rolled her eyes, and Nin snored away as a beam of light grabbed them, and sucked them into the ship.


3 HOURS LATER.........

Nin walked out of the Bed Room, stretching. "I feel a whole lot better now!" he said. Akuma, Anja, Kaylee, and Stump were all gathered around the computer, analyzing the data from the site. "So, what did you find out...?" said Nin, taking a seat next to Kaylee. Akuma pressed a button, and a hologram of the tower appeared before them. "We were lucky! That site had a whole file on the Tower, and even a map of the inside! Unfortunately, there wasn't anything about where it came from, or what it's for....but what's odd is that the file was dated back to 1985...." said Akuma. Chance stood bolt upright. "I LOVE that song!" he said, dancing around the room, singing a terrible version of 1985. "Riiiight, um, anyway, the file says that the tower has atleast 50 floors, each of them holding powerful trolls......it seems that this was the base for all of the trolls way back when...." said Akuma, reading the data banks outloud. "There was also a tome inside of it...". Nin stopped dancing. "A tome?" he asked. "Yeah, do you know what it is?" asked Akuma. Nin cleared his throat. "Tome's are powerful spells, used to usually harness powerful magic. Whenever you read the tome with a certain item, or at a certain time, something usually happens!" said Nin. "Well, this tome reads as follows.....

for whomever disturbs my resting place
terrible things will fly
From evil spirits, trolls, to demons
You shouldn't even try
For I will be ressurected
when enough power is gathered
For I am the great Troll King
Conquiste Deore Hather!

...Weird" said Akuma. "Wait, I've read about that!" said Anja. "Back in fairy world, they used to say that Deore Hather was just as terrible as the Demon King! And get this, the Demon King ISN'T Satan! Satan is the king of all evil, but Satan can only control things through Hell. The Demon King travels between dimensions, causing havoc and chaos!". Akuma stared at her. "What does that have to do with Deore Hather?" he asked. Anja looked really scared. "They say that Deore Hather made a pact with the Demon King. When Hather died, he told his followers to gather energy for his resurrection. That's probably why trolls have been in CF! They've been taking energy! They also say that as soon as Hather is resurrrected, the Demon King will come back!"

[Kaylee4Christ]

Chappy 121

Kaylee sat quietly, staring at Anja. "Wha....?" she said, barely registering it in her mind. Everyone stared at her. "Okay, okay, sorry!" she muttered, caving under their looks. She gripped her stomach suddenly and groaned. "I don't feel too good," she whispered, and staggered off to the Bed Room, collapsing on her messy bed. Everyone stared after her. "What's eatin' her?" Nin asked.

Akuma shook his head. "No idea." They did feel sort of worried, because this was sudden. They sort of shrugged it off and went back to discussing the situation.

Back in the Bed Room, Kaylee buried herself under the covers, not sure what had happened. She had a hunch, though, that somehow she had gotten infected by a virus. She shook the idea out of her head, making herself believe that it was just motion sickness. But that was strange, because she wasn't the kind of girl who ever got sick so easily. Kaylee stopped thinking altogether and finally fell asleep.

Nin knocked on the door. "Hey Kaylee, you okay?" he said, peeking in. She didn't answer. She was out cold. He shrugged and walked back to the room with Akuma and Anja.

Nin, Akuma and Anja worked in the next room, however, thinking up plans for their next actions. Nothing they thought of seemed to be the right one.

"We could..... no, never mind." said Nin.

"Or....... no," sighed Akuma.

"Oh forget it."

"No we can't forget it, this is important." Akuma turned serious. "We need to find this tower."

"Aye aye, captain," said Nin, rolling his eyes.

"Come on, guys," said Anja, as she looked up from the old files they had collected. "We need to work together, even if one of us is... sick." Her eyes glanced out the door and across the hallway, at the Bed Room. Her eyes went back down, looking through the files.

All of a sudden, she gasped. "Look!"

Akuma and Nin rushed over. "What?"

Anja pointed to something on a file, and Akuma and Nin's mouths both dropped.

(( I hope this is okay, I am totally bored.))

 

[Ninjitsu14]

(((YAY! I got the info! Okay, here goes....)))

Chapter 122: The Prophecy.

Anja pointed at the text. It was in Greek, so she had to translate it. "It seems to be a missing prophecy, and it's about the Demon King......" she said.

"The Demon King?!" said Nin, shivering. Akuma stared at him, and roleld his eyes."Well, can you read it?" he asked. "Of course I can! Me being a princess, I studied all sorts of ancient writings! Okay, I'll need to read it atleats once before I tell you.

As she read, she gasped as she read, covering her mouth with her hand. Tears filled her eyes.

"The Gem was born of evil's fire
The Gem shall be his portal
He comes to claim, he comes to sire
The end of all things mortal!"

As she read it back to Nin and Akuma, they both gasped. "Who's the Gem?" asked Nin. It was a question no one had the answer to.

Back in the Bed Room, Kaylee tossed and turned in her bed. "Kaylee.....Kaylee....you WILL be my portal!" She woke up, sweating, strange red markings covering her body. She walked out of the room, and Anja gasped. "What is, how do you say, Oh My Goats?" she said. "What's going on?" asked Kaylee. "It means that the Demon King is coming..." said Anja.

Chappy 123

Kaylee looked from Akuma to Nin to Anja. "But who's the portal for the dude?" she asked slowly. They looked at her. "Oh no, you have GOT to be kidding me!" her voice going high shrilly. She coughed and swayed, grabbing onto Nin to keep from falling. "What is wrong with me?" Nin helped her into a chair and she buried her face in her hands. "I just wanna go back to bed," she muttered.

 

[Ninjitsu14]

(((I know, I know, clicheic, and it wasn't really my idea (Raven on Teen Titans is the portal for Trigon) but who cares? It's still cool 0))

 

[Akuma]

((Meh, never mind. And you spelled it wrong, it's 'cliche'. Much easier, yes?))
Chapter 124: Prepare Yourselves

Akuma roared as he blocked the androids' attacks. Swiping and swinging, he took them down with his sword one by one. No one had thought of what to do. No one had any idea. So Akuma had told Stump to set a course for an unpopular site dedicated to deserts. It would be a wasteland and there would be no people around. It was the perfect place for...He trembled and continued fighting. He didn't want to think about it. He didn't want to fight Kaylee. The Demon King. But just in case. Just in case they couldn't figure something out...
"End fight simulation."
Akuma froze. "What is it?"
Stump's voice came on the speakers. "Get down here, we've g-got a problem!"
Grabbing his cloak, Akuma ran from the training room.

 

[Kaylee4Christ]

(( hey guys I'm going on a little "trip"...... see ya'll in two days and be careful with me nah, do whatever ya want. I'll write a chappy when I get back. sies ))

 

[Kaylee4Christ]

(( nah, here's a chappy now))

Chappy 125

Kaylee struggled inside, trying to fight this..... whatever it was, but whatever it was, it was coming out with a fight. "Why... did it... have to be.... me???" she half-whined, half-groaned.

The others didn't quite know what to do. They reached out to help her but she couldn't be helped. Finally she went still and quiet.

"What's wrong with her?" Nin whispered.

"It's the calm before the storm," Anja replied.

The door flew open, and Akuma stood in the doorway.

(( there I hope its ok... I'm kinda writing in the dark, if you know what I mean. sies and buh byes ))

 

[Akuma]

Chapter 126: Burning

"Prepare yourselves," Akuma shouted at his alarmed friends. "Get strapped in, now!"
"What is it?" Nin asked as he helped Kaylee into one of the cushioned chairs melded to the wall. He buckled in and waited for an answer.
Akuma, strapping his wife in, glanced at him. "While you were taking a break from steering Stump took over." He faced Nin. "Stump noticed a system failure in one of the engines. There a foreign occupant contaminating the cooling systems."
"A virus?"
Akuma nodded. There was a sudden explosion from somewhere in the ship and Shadow and Akuma were flung to the floor. Akuma struggled to his feet. "We're nearing a site of deserts." Another rocking explosion and the ground did not cease quaking. "Thus..." He looked at his freinds grimly. "It's gonna be a crash land--"
The biggest explosion yet came and Akuma and Nin skittered to the other side of the room. "Get strapped in," Akuma told Nin. "I've got to go help Stump."
Nin nodded and akuma leapt back through the doorway, running through the zig-zagging halls.
He was stopped at the 18th hallway by a stranger. He gasped. "You! But...how?"
Staring back at him was his exact form, an imitation except with jet black hair. The mimic grinned. "I come to greet the Demon King, fairy. Out of my way."
Akuma drew his sword.
The mimic laughed. "Really, Akuma, don't you remember our last encounter? It's all recorded in the CF Chronicles. You're no match for me."
"You'll not have her," Akuma growled. "Dread."
Dread only laughed, drawing his own sword. He struck too quickly and Akuma fell to the ground, his hands clutching his bloody side. Dread held his sword over the fairy's head. "Now, you d--"
The ship heaved and everything was thrown into chaos as the ship spiraled down into the atmosphere of the desert site.
Akuma and Dread, now laying on the ceiling, glared at eachother. Dread made to get up but Akuma clutched his ankle.
Dread spat. "Fool." He then saw the fire of the ship's entry out of space outside the window and grinned. Using his own dark magic, he held onto the hallway's corner and blaster the window. Akuma was sucked out into the fiery atmosphere, free falling. Burning, he lost conciousness.

 

[Ninjitsu14]

Chapter 126: Akuma...or is it?

Nin was strapping himself in. Since Akuma left, he had taken command. "Brace yourselves for impact!!!" he shouted over the roar of the flames. The ship made it's way shaking through the atmosphere. Finally, it crashed into some sand dunes in a very dark desert. Apparently, it was night time on this site, probably to make it not as hot. The ship's engine smoked into the ship's cabin area. Dread walked out of the hallway. "Boy, was that a doosy..." he said. "Akuma! What happened! Are you okay?" asked Nin. "Yeah I'm fine..." said Akuma. No one noticed the evil glint in his eye. "First, I'll take over One of the weaklings bodies, like the rat or the fairy. Then, I'll work my way up to the Ninja, and I'll use him to get to the Gem......" he thought, grinning. He moved his hand through his black hair, grinning at his plan. It was so simple. Get the girl, and bring her to the Tower were his orders. It was so easy! After his counterpart had been defeated, it would be so easy impersonating him. All he had to do was act like a weirdo, and they wouldn't know the difference. "Well, Stump said that the engine cables are shot, and it'll probably take a few hours to salvage some parts to make a new carborator......but, other than that, everything's fine!" he said. Kaylee had stopped glowing the strange marks over her body, and felt fine....for now.



********

Akuma was stuck. Stuck in a sand dune. Not that he knew it. He was dead to the world, and barely breathing. The atmospheric pressure had not only made his bleeding side wound a whole lot more painful, but it had also popped his ears, making them bleed. A girl was riding through the desert on horseback, and noticed his [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse] in the air. "Stay here, CoCo...." she said, dismounting her horse. She grabbed Akuma's ankles, and heaved. He flung out of the sand, landing in the dirt. "He's in bad condition...." she said, running her hand over his wounds. Akuma gritted his teeth in response. "CoCo, we've got to get him to a doctor, quick!" She threw Akuma onto her pack, and strapped him onto it. She mounted onto her horse, and rose off to the east. She found a rock, and pressed her hand on it, her pinky and her pointing finger curled up, but the two middle fingers erect. The sand dune in front of her moved, revealing a cave. She made her way down, as the cave moved back into the ground. After a mile or two, she came to a city underground. "Sand City, appropriately named...." she said........


*******

Nin had been working with stump for hopurs, but all Akuma/Dread seemed to be able to do was hang around Kaylee, asking her things like 'do you need something to eat?' or 'how about something to drink?' and each time she'd tell him no, he'd pout. Anja seemed angry. Finally, they got the carborator fixed, and they began making repairs on the cables. Akuma's eyes glinted evily, as he walked up to Nin. "Hey, I think Kaylee and I are gonna go for a walk..." he said. "In the middle of the desert?!" said Nin. "Are you insane?" he asked. "I always have been, you just never noticed....." he smiled. Nin walked up to Kaylee. He snuck her his cell phone. "Keep an eye on him...if you need anything, or if he starts acting weird, just call....." he said. He walked off, as Kaylee stood there staring at the phone. "But, what if I have another one of my 'spells'?" she asked. "Don't worry, I'm sure they'll have it fixed by then" said Anja.

Chapter 127: Raven Wings

"For a desert, it's really cold..." Kaylee shivered.
"That's how it is at night time." Dread answered, that dead grin never leaving his face. Fools! All of them! This was too easy.
"Are you all right, Akuma?" Kaylee asked. "You're acting wierd, more than usual actually..."
Dread gave one of Akuma's strange cackles a try. "I hit my head on the crash. I wasn't exactly buckled in, ya know?"
Kaylee frowned and traced a finger on the phone in her pocket.
"What's that?" Dread continued to grin. His grin never reached his cold eyes.
"Uh..." Kaylee suddenly felt insecure, vulnerable. Something was wrong. "Nothing."
Dread stopped their walking and grasped her wrist, grinning wildly. "Is it? May I see this...nothing?"
Kaylee tried to pull away but she couldn't. "Akuma...what's wrong with you?"
Dread cast one look at the ship, now a mile away, and held out a hand at Kaylee's forehead. There was a spark and Kaylee fell unconcious. He took the phone from her pocket and cast it aside, kciking sand over it. "Oh, nothing's wrong with me." He snickered to no one as he slung the girl over his shoulder. He unfurled his hidden wings, revealing not fairy wings, but pitch black raven wings with a huge wingspan. "To the Dark Tower..."

Akuma awakened to a dim light. A cave ceiling hung above. "Where..."
He saw a girl beside him. "He's awake, doctor!"
Someone moved into his view but he fell into darkness again, a male's voice ringing in his mind. "I don't think he's going to make it..."

Chapter 128: Cell Call

Nin had tried Kaylee's cell for the 23rd time, and there was still no answer. "I hope their alright...." he said, flipping the cover back over the phone. "Stump, program my phone's number into the tracking system! I'm going to look for 'Akuma' and Kaylee!" he said. He ran outside, but there was a huge sandstorm rolling in. Nin pressed a button on the outside of the ship, and a door came down. There was a car, with wheels for traveling through the sands. He started the ignition, and he drove off. The sandstorm was bad, so he grabbed a pair of goggles, and put them on to shield his eyes. He pulled up his bandana over his mouth.

*************

Akuma awoke to find himself ina tent, all sorts of female warriors surrounding him with bandages. "Oh, your finally awake!" said the girl with a lance in her hand. "Uh, where am I?" Akuma asked dumbly. "Your in Sand City!" she answered. "WHERE?!" shouted Akuma.
