When Cithians Attack (12 page)

“Really? How?”

“They fought in the interdimensional War of
1885 and the war of darkomega.”

“I know. But, people want the same freedom as
Cithians have because of their powers.”

“Yeah. True. That’ll never change. People will
always be jealous of the Cithians.”

“You’re right. Because of our powers people
will always be jealous.”

“Exactly. Cithians are totally
misunderstood.”

“So, let’s get back on subject. What strategy
should I use in the competition?”

“Fusion beams and Combination orbs.”

“What’s a fusion beam?”

“It’s a beam made out of two beams mixed
together.”

“Cool. But, will it work?”

“It should.”

Anna yawned.

“I think it’s time we hit the hay.”

“Me too.”

We both took our showers and went to
bed.

Chapter 16 the Syirics return with
backup

Alarms blared as lightning flashed outside and
Syirics appeared. I could hear Kaiser scream as soon as I awoke. A
voice came over the intercom.

“All students report to the Hall of Sayis
Dragons.”

We all rushed to the front room. Nester touched
the orb carved into the fireplace banister. We all appeared in the
Hall of Sayis Dragons. The Servants of Sayis’ were already sitting
at their assigned tables. Jamie was gone. We all took our seats.
Kaiser stood up.

“Last night and early this morning, we had a
massive Syiric attack. Jamie was injured severely so she was sent
home.” he said. Chaser stood up.

“So, now we’re down to three teachers! How do
we know you didn’t have something to do with this?”

Kaiser stretched out his hands. One was normal,
though I could see a black burn on the left side. The other one was
robotic. It looked to be made of silver metal. The fingers were
longer than his other hand's. Gray and red wires were bunched at
his wrist, extending through each finger. I stood up.

“But how can you protect us with
that injury?
” I said.

“I am making Fader Jacobs the substitute for
Jamie. And, I’m putting all of you under the protection of four of
the seven guardians of this school.”

The Double doors opened and Kaiser sat down as
Fader and 4 other people in armor walked in.Fader was
black-skinned. His gray hair stood up on end. His brown eyes
sparkled like jewels. He was wearing a green cloak. Standing in
front us, Fader said:

“My name is Fader Jacobs. I must say it’s an
honor to stand in front of all of you and see what path you choose
to take. And, I know we’re on the verge of a possible war here.
Kaiser has informed me we had a massive Syiric attack. So we’re now
on high alert!”

“Yes we are. But, you need to train us to fight
in this war.”I said

“
No. The students will not fight in
this war.”

“We just want to protect all the Cithians and
you need all the help you can get.” I said

“Yes I do. Unfortunately, we would be putting
not only your lives at risk , but everybody else’s too.”

“Exactly. Sometimes innocent people have to die
for Kursta’s purposes succeed.” Chaser said

“No they don’t! We don’t have to fight!” Fader
said.

“Yes we do. You may not realize it, but,
Bloodshed is doing all they can to kill us off one by one. First,
it was Kama and now, both Jamie and Kaiser have been injured.” I
said.

“Skyrid, you’re just a kid! And, Furliceo would
beat you head to head. Although,Mr.Riker has informed me that he’ll
be teaching all of you how to turn into an animal from.”

"We could use that in the battle!"

"No. Skyrid, it'd be better if warriors in
training didn't fight in this battle."

“Why?”

“You don’t have the experience needed for the
fight.”

“So you want just the Adults to fight this
war?”

”Yes.”

“Look, if only adults fight, we’ll be extremely
outnumbered.”

“True. But, that’s not my only plan. You’ll be
getting training to fight in this war from the School Guardians
that you see behind you, Natasha Regatta, Drayer Jets, Shais Kames,
and Lane Raider and they’ll also be taking you to your
classes.We’re at war and I can’t put anymore lives at risk. If you
are not with them I hope to Kursta that nothing will happen to
you.”

“What’s going on with all these attacks?!”
Chaser shouted, beating his fists on the table as his plate rattled
on the table.

“I think Bloodshed is trying to weaken us.”
Nester said.

“
No. They’re Villains. And, they
want the helios parts.”I said.

“Why can’t they just take them and get it over
with?!”Chaser said..

“Because Skyrid has...It’s one...”

“But, why can’t Skyrid just destroy
it?”

“It can only be destroyed all at once and not
in parts. He’d have to connect all five parts before he does
that.”

“Oh. I wonder who has the other
parts.”

“I have one part and my brothers have the
others.” I said, looking at Chaser.

“Then who has the fifth part?”Chaser
said

“I don’t know.” I said, shrugging.

“Maybe your dad has it.”Chaser said

“That’d explain him panicking over all of
this.”

“Yeah, he knows Furliceo is looking for him. He
doesn't want to endanger you.” Nester said

“I have a feeling he wants all the parts and
not just mine.”

“True. He probably needs all five parts.”Chaser
said

“What for though?” Nester said

“Maybe he wants to heal himself completely.”
Zane said

“That would explain why he tried to kill
Mitchell.”

“
He’s gonna be on a killing raid
until you give him all of the helios parts.”Chaser said

“Exactly. If the Sayis Council sees that he
can’t be trusted he’ll no longer be a Sayis.” I said

“You’re right. We’ve got to find him and bring
him to them.”

“Chaser, you’re crazy! He’s more powerful than
we are. Plus, we don’t know where the Sayis’ live!”

“Yes we do. In that forest by the Forbidden
Cemetery.”

“That’s not where they live! It’s where the
Sword of the Sayis’ is !”

“Then how’d you explain the man with five
dragon heads?”

“
He was protecting the
Cemetery.”

“Why?”

“Because it’s forbidden.”

“I think that he’s hiding
something.”

“He may be right, Slyer. The Man looks exactly
like Gade. Just look at the comparison.”Jaren said, holding his
phone up.

He had the same cognac eyes, the same crooked
nose and the same wrinkles in his face.

“You’re right. He does . But, the Pedestals are
very hard to control!”

“Right. I’ll be doing that part.”Nester
said

“Okay. But, what if we get caught by the Hydra
Sayis again?”I said

“We all attack him at once.”

“That’s just your theory. We need to stick with
me fighting Pedro and Kodyack’s captors.”

“Why Skyrid?”

“Just in case I meet a Sayis and fight them.
They can take me to the Sword of the Sayis Council.”

“True. But, what if you never get that chance?
What if neither captor is a Sayis?”

“I’ll take that risk. And Today, Anna and I
will fight against both of them.”

“What if the School Guardian that you fought is
the mastermind behind all of this?”

“That’s not possible, Nester. She wears a white
cape, not one that’s black with green stripes.”

“Yeah, but she might be a Bloodshed spy. How
else could they get into the Castle without getting
caught?”

“It makes since. But, what if the second
kidnapper is able to change their human form like Pedro
can?”

“Skyrid, only light sayis can do that.”Chaser
said

“Why?” I asked

“All people have the ability that allows them
to shape-shift while their good, but once their dark that ability
disappears, because it needs the light to live.” Nester
said

“True. But, she could disguise herself to
deceive us all.” I said, tapping my fingers on the
table.

“How?”

“She could just be disguised as Pedro and trick
us all.”

“No she couldn’t! We all know he’s
kidnapped!”

‘What if Furliceo is already here?” I
said

“What do you mean?”

“What if he’s disguised as the new teacher,
Jared Riker?”

“Not possible, Skyrid.”

“Actually it is if Jared starts acting all
weird.”
“Okay. But aren’t those powers only allowed while around
Ganters?”

“What are Ganters?” Zane asked

“They’re people without warrior powers.” Chaser
said

“Now, Furliceo has broken a lot of rules
already. Who’s to say that he’ll stop now?”

“No one. But can’t you just connect the five
parts and destroy it?”
“No. As far as I know, it was created by Adagar and Gadrid Markson.
So it must be destroyed by them.”
“I thought Maser was dead.”

“He is. That’s why we can’t destroy
it.”

Jared rose up from his seat.

“Now, if all of you are done, I will take you
to your first class.”

All of us rose as Jared and Drayer led everyone
out of the Hall of Sayis Dragons except Anna and I.

“Anna and Skyrid,right?”Fader said as stood in
front of us.

“Yes. We’re them.” We said in
unison.

“Good. Then, take my hands and I’ll transport
us to the Cousellium.”

Anna and I laid our hands in his and instantly
we turned into white orbs. Our vision was very blurry as we sucked
into what looked like a gray portal. Materializing, we appeared in
front of the Cousellium.

“Are you and Anna ready for your first training
session?”

“I am. What about you, Anna?”

“I’m ready to destroy Bloodshed!”

“Alright, then let’s walk into the center of
the dome.”

Walking into the arena along with Fader, Anna
and I went to our separate sides. I chose the left and Anna chose
the right. Fader stood in the center and I stared at him as I got
into my battle position.

“Anna, to turn into your warrior form you have
to either throw a beam of light into the air or a beam of Darkness.
This will choose which side you are on;Bloodshed or the Servants of
light. And just in case you chose the light side, I’ll teach you
both how to turn into your Mythical Creature Form.”

Throwing a beam of light into the air, I
watched as Anna did the same.

“Wait, one of you gonna have to be in Mythical
creature for this to work!”

“Okay. How do we choose that?”

“We’ll play a game.”

“What kind?” Anna asked

“I’m going to shoot orb of power into the air
and the first person to hit it with a power beam before it hits the
ground will be turned into a mythical creature.Neither of you can
use your warrior form. But, you can use power beams to hit it like
I said before. If you tie, which isn’t very likely, a sword will be
put in the center of the battlefield and you’ll have to bring onto
your side using your powers. Sound fair?”

“Yes.” We said in unison.

“Good. Then, let’s begin.” Fader said throwing
a half-blue, half-green orb into the air. Shooting a beam of light
at the orb, I watched Anna shoot a blue beam of power at it and hit
it first. She grew phoenix wings out back, her head turned into a
Cerebus head as another one grew on each of her shoulders and
orange hair covered the rest body as her ripped clothes were thrown
beside her.

“Skyrid, you can now turn into your Warrior
Form.”

Throwing a beam of light into the air, I turned
into my warrior form and Anna flew towards me as all of her heads
snarled at me.
