Kaen nodded. He stepped towards us.

“You aren’t gonna go with them!” he
said.

Kaen shot a beam of darkness into the air.
Drayer and the other Bloodshed Members stepped into the
portal.

“Let me handle this! Go now!”

Chaser turned into his warrior form. I took
Jaren’s hands. Dragged him to the portal. It closed just as I got
in front of it.

“Pedro reopen the portal!”

“I can’t!”

“Why?”

“I’d be breaking a rule.”

“Which one?!”

“No Sayis can reopen a portal after it has
already been opened.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chapter 23 A Severe
Attack

I stared at Pedro in
disbelief.
Who cared about those stupid
rules?
If we didn't hurry more people were
gonna die.
My fists clenched. "What do you
mean, you can't? Open it!"

"The rules-"

“Who cares about the rules? People will die if
we let them go! Open the gate!”

“No.”Pedro turned away.

I whirled on Richard, grabbing his shirt collar
“Tell him he can open it.”

"I can't, it's against the rules."

"Can't you bend them?" I said, growing
desperate. Time was running out.

"I'm sorry, Skyrid..."

I glared at the floor, sighing. "Then they've
already won."

“Perhaps not,” Pedro said.

“What? How?” I was ready to try
anything.

“I could open a different colored portal,
change the direction a bit so it isn’t exactly the
same.”

“Hurry!”

Kaen shot a orb of darkness at me. Chaser
pushed me aside. I landed hard on the hardwood floor.

A black bolt of darkness hit Chaser
in the chest. I realized Chaser had just made the ultimate
sacrifice, for if I had stayed there Kaen would've hit me instead.
Chaser fell to one knee, his shirt torn open.It looked charred.
Cuts tore open on his chest. Blood bled out
suppressively.

He grunted in pain. I scrambled over
to him. Touching his chest, I healed him. The cuts
disappeared.

Chaser stood up. He threw a beam of light into
the air. Kaen threw a beam of Darkness into the air. Armor formed
onto Kaen. A red helmet with streaks of black all over appeared on
his head. I raised power orbs at Kaen. Richard pulled me
back.

“Let Chaser handle this. He has to learn how to
defend himself on his own.”

“I agree. My son has lost faith in Kursta. He
needs to gain it back by himself.” Pedro said.

I pressed my hands together. The orbs
disappeared.

“Is there any way I can help?” I
said.

“Yes. We need to open a portal” Richard
said.

Tan armor appeared on the rest of Kaen’s
body.

“I’ll call Anna on my Communicator.”I
said.

“Stop, you’ll interfere with Chaser!”Richard
said

“What?”
I
only wanted to help. Chaser needs it bad. I feel that I should help
in any way I can. So I don’t see how I’d be interfering with his
battle with Kaen.

“The signal inference from your Communicator
with their power rings will cause them to have
malfunctions.”

“I still don’t understand.”

Richard glared at me.

“Skyrid,you could’ve just cost Chaser his
life!”

The ground shook. I looked at Chaser. He threw
a orb of light towards Kaen. Kaen threw a beam of darkness at it.
Throwing a green beam at the orb, Chaser pushed it forward. Kaen
moved his hands back and forth as his beam increased in
power.

Chaser’s fingers mimicked Kaen's.
His forehead creased in concentration, the pain on his chest
seemingly forgotten in the heat of battle. Sweat gleamed off his
face. He wavered a little as his body battled to force the power
out.
He can't win
.
He's too weak.

“We have to help him, Guys!” I said.

“He’ll need Sayis powers to win.”Richard
said

Richard threw two green orbs into the air. They
went into Chaser. Dark green orbs flew around him. Scaly green
armor covered his body. His head turned into a gator’s and he
sprouted a gator tail between his back and butt. Chaser chomped his
teeth together.

Those orbs flying around him went into his
beam. Kaen tried to hold his beam for longer but, Chaser’s beam
overpowered his and he fainted after his warrior form faded out.
Chaser’s Sayis form faded out. He staggered towards us. His shirt
was in shreds. Pedro gave him a extra one. He slid it on over his
wounded chest. Gaping cuts had appeared on it.

A reddish yellow orb appeared around Jaren
trapping him inside. He shook in pain. The orb rose up into the
air.

“What’s happening to Jaren?”I asked

“Warrior Power Possession. His powers are
trying to take over.”Richard said

“We gotta help him somehow!”I said.

Pedro threw a milky white beam at the orb. It
broke the orb in half. Jaren dropped onto the ground unconscious. I
knelt down beside Jaren. Touching Jaren, I saw his eyes open. He
stood up.

“Nice work, Chaser.”he said.

My communicator rang. Anna’s face appeared on
it. Her face was covered in dirt. She constantly looked around the
room.

I could see a fireplace behind
her
. She must be in the living
room.

“Skyrid! I’ve been trying to reach you all
day!”

“Why?!”
“Some members of Bloodshed are attacking the Castle.”

“What?!Have you been hurt?”

“No. But, several others have.”

“Who?”I said.

“Parser, William, Caitlyn and many other
students.”
“They hurt my Family!”Chaser said. He started to faint. Richard
caught him.

“Calm down, Chase. Or,you’re gonna hurt injure
yourself more.”Richard said


Parser has been hurt the most. He
has had several burns to his body.” Anna said

“Where at?” Chaser said

“Mostly on his arms and shoulders. But, you
guys really need to come over here and help.”

“What about Kaiser?”Pedro said
“He’s betrayed everyone and joined Bloodshed. He said he wanted to
be with the winning side.”

I heard explosions. The sound of metal clashing
made Anna’s voice fade out.

“Are you okay? Those explosions sound
close.”

“It’s just the battle outside the castle, Sky.
The battle seems to be getting worse though.”

“We’ll come then. You’ll have to open a yellow
portal on your side though. “

“How exactly do I do that?”

“Is Fader or Kama there at the moment?”Richard
said

“No, it’s just me.”Anna said

“Where’d they go?”

“They’re protecting the students.”

“Never mind. Just focus your powers into a
circle and think of bringing us there.”

“I’ll try that then.”

Anna closed her eyes. She lifted into the air.
Her hair lifted halfway up into the air too. Beams of light shot
out of her hands. She fell back down. Her eyes opened.

“Darn! What am I doing wrong?!”

“You’re trying too hard. Just relax.” Pedro
said.

She closed her eyes again. Rising into the air,
she shot beams of light in front of the Fireplace. A yellow portal
appeared. Those beams hit against the portal, reflecting back at
her. She slowly fell to the ground.

“Anna!”I screamed.

Pedro opened the same portal. We all stepped
into it. Appearing on Anna’s side, we found ourselves in the living
room of my dorm. Anna was sprawled out on the floor,
unconscious.The room was in disarray. The window was gone and
furniture was all over the place. The cushions were torn apart and
the stuffing had been thrown around the room. I knelt down and
touched Anna , She awakened.

“What happened here?”I asked.

“Bloodshed raided the dorm. They appeared to be
looking for something.”Anna said

I remembered leaving my pendant.

“Oh, shoot!”

I ran down the hallway and went into the boys’
dorm. I opened my dresser’s top left drawer. I threw the clothes
out of it. My pendant is basically a black string with a upside
down metal triangle attached to the end of it. It was
gone.

“Where is it?!’I screamed

Randomly, I opened several different drawers. I
threw the clothes out of them. I still couldn’t find it. Squatting,
I threw my books out from under my bed.

"They have the pendent!" My heart
froze. This was bad. No, this was worse than bad.

"What? Are you sure?" Pedro asked,
eyes wide.

"Yes. I looked everywhere. It's
gone. They have it." I sank to the ground.

“This is bad,”Anna said

"But Furliceo's locked up, so no one
can use it," Chaser said

“Actually, he escaped with the help
of Vade Markson."Pedro said

"What?" I jumped to my feet. "Why
didn't you tell us sooner?"

“There wasn't any time.”Pedro
said

“That's no excuse.”

"Skyrid, calm down," Anna said,
putting a hand on my shoulder. "We should be figuring out a plan,
not fighting ourselves."

I sighed. "You're right. Sorry
guys."

"Now," Anna said, turning to Pedro.
"Who's Vade?"

“He’s my Son. And, the Creator of the
Darkomegian Procedure.”Richard said

“Didn’t Kodyack perform that?”I said

“Yes.”Richard said

“So that’s why Nancy needed
Kodyack.”

“Exactly. And, I have a feeling they're gonna
use your pendant.”

“What for, exactly?”

“A part of the Helios can give you enough
strength for your body

to gain another set of power rings.”
“But, I thought they could only do that with my help or
self-sacrifice.”

“Skyrid, I’ve been keeping a secret from
you.”

I was speechless.
This is exactly like when I found I was a
Cithian. I was pissed then and I am now.
I
glared at him.

“Don’t keep secrets from me!”

“It’s for your own good, Skyrid.”

“What haven’t you told me?” I said

“The reason why your dad was kidnapped.”Pedro
said

“Tell me!”I said

“Former Sayis’ can activate the parts.”Pedro
said

“Why can’t we destroy them again?”Anna
said

“They can only be destroyed by both of their
creators, Adagar and Maser. Maser is dead.”I said

“Right. Are there other ways?”Anna
said.

“Not that we know of.”Richard said.

We all crawled outside as the wind whistled. A
portal appeared. Out came a army. At the front of it was Drayer,
Furliceo, and Nancy. A flag rustled in the wind. It had a bloody
sword on it. Nancy held it in her left hand.

Their feet stomped the grassy ground as blood
dripped from their armor.

“Brace yourselves.”Nester said.

“There’s gotta be thousands of them.” I
said.

“We know. You’ll all have to use your
training.”

The Army grabbed their bows. Arrows flew at us.
Pedro put up a yellow wall again. They still pierced through
though. One of them, flew towards Chaser. I jumped in front of him,
it flew over me and pierced his heart. I knelt down beside
Chaser.

“No!”I said.

Tears flowed down my face. I shook
him.

“Speak to me, Chaser!”

“He’s dead, Skyrid. There’s nothing you can
do.”

“No!”

“Why’d have to be you?”

“Skyrid, you gotta keep fighting.”Anna
said

“Why should I?”

“It’s what Chaser would want!”

“She’s right.”Pedro said.

“He’s gone.”
“You gotta keep going with the fight though. We could lose your
dad, too!”

“You’re right.”

I wiped my tears with my sleeve.

“Good. Everyone, turn into your warrior
forms.”

We all turned into our warrior forms. Since I
have already showed you everyone else forms, I’ll only tell you
about Richard’s at the moment. He had an amber-colored helmet and
aqua armor everywhere else. Also, he was holding a light grey staff
with orange specks mixed in on it. On the top of the was the Sayis’
Symbol ( A circle with every Sayis symbol on it) and it was
spinning around like a top.
