Limitless Wandering

Haratsu stayed quiet. He dared not mumble when Serifina was close.

Kyoshi jumped out of the log, and nearly bumped into Sartre.

Sartre jumped up. "Geez..don't just pop out of there..give a warning first..." he breathed heavily.

Aiko laughed. She went over and peered down, she saw Serifina climb up. She also saw Haratsu behind her. She held out her hand for Serifina to grab and climb up. "What's going on down there?" she asked.

 

"Oh thank god you guys are all okay." Serifina released her breath jumping down, Haratsu's collar firmly in her hand so he couldn't run. "I'm just keeping him in my sights so we can decide what to do with him." she shot him a murderous look and then turned a worried expression to Sartre. "Are you okay?".

 

Sartre grinned, "I'm alright."

Aiko sat down on the grass. She looked up overhead. "I think we should move before those bomber planes arrive..."

"Should we try and stop them from blowing the base up?" Kyoshi asked.

Sartre shrugged. "I dunno..."

"Would you like to go through several hundred soldiers armed with who knows what, and at least a dozen bomber planes, and they'll probably bring in reinforcements."

"What about your force field? Isn't that enough to cover the base?"

"Uhhh.....no. I can only manipulate enough energy to cover only a small area...about 20 feet in diameter."

"That explains it..." Kyoshi chuckled.

"Explains what?" Aiko asked curiously.

"Nothing, nothing."

Haratsu waited for the moment to squirm free, but decided against it. 'I'd rather avoid Serifina's wrath...' he thought.

 

Inbetween glaring at Haratsu to make sure he stayed where he was and listening to the others, Serifina spoke up. "Why don't we combine our ablilites to make a larger force feild?" she suggested.

 

Aiko thought for a minute. "That could work. What would we use as main energy though?"

"Would lightning work?" Kyoshi wondered.

"I don't know...it would look suspicious though."

"Wouldn't a large gust of wind be enough? Like have air swirl around inside the field and giving off energy at the same time so that the field could grow larger. " Sartre spoke up.

"That could work, as long as they don't see a visible force field..."

Aiko looked up at Serifina, "Want to give it a try?"

'Not if I can stop it...' thought Haratsu.

 

"Sure, easy as can be." Serifna agreed before flashing her gaze back to Haratsu. "And you are going to stay right where I can see you at all times."

 

Haratsu grumbled. 'What should I do now...' he looked around.

Aiko smiled and stood up. "Okay..." she turned to Kyoshi. "Do you know how to perform the merging spell?"

"I don't know...I thought you knew...that's why I brought up the idea..."

Sartre coughed, "I know the enchantment."

"Yay!" Aiko clapped her hands.

"SHHH!" Kyoshi scolded.

Aiko punched Kyoshi lightly on his shoulder. "Don't shush me. Okay, Sartre. You tell us what to do..."

Sartre got up and grabbed a nearby branch and changed it into a staff.

"Since when did you learn to do that?" Kyoshi said amazed.

"I have my talents..." Sartre smiled.

Haratsu reached for his pocket knife in his trenchcoat. He opened it and held it behind him. 'I have to get to Sartre...before he starts the incantation....'

 

"So tell us what to do, when do we start?" Serifina asked, impressed too.

OOC: sorry this is a lame post lol

 

"I have to heal first, my energy is low, haha" Sartre chuckled.

"So...when will you be ready?" Kyoshi asked.

"Tomorrow, around noon. My energy should be back by then.." he looked up into the sky, lost in wonder.

"So, where did your energy go? Did you lose it?" Kyoshi teased.

Sartre threw a rock at him, "You know what I meant..."

Aiko giggled.

Haratsu rolled his eyes.

OOC: lol, we all have our short posts sometime, xD

 

Serifina smiled and lay down with her arms as her pillow. "Okay, so one day of rest will probably do us all some good." She looked at Harutsu out of the corner of her eye and pointed her fingers toward him, sending air to bind him where he sat. "There, now you won't cause any worries."

 

Haratsu struggled to free himself. But then decided not to anger Serifina even more. '...Where's Takeo when u need him...' He sighed.

Aiko laid back against a tree, lost in thought.

Kyoshi yawned. He looked up at Sartre, who was trying to get up. "What are you doing?"

"Checking on the SES forces. " Sartre sneaked along some shrubs and stayed low.

"I'm coming with you..." he whispered.

"No. If you trip, you'll give me away." He grinned.

"..." Kyoshi glared at him.

"Haha just kidding But seriously though, be quiet..."

" No, I think I'll just go over there and say Hi.." Kyoshi grabbed his sword and followed Sartre.

 

Serifina listened to them go back and forth before leaving. "Be careful." she muttered, leaving her eyes closed.

 

Sartre nodded.

The two of them stopped at the end of the forest, watching the enemy.

The SES squadron had chosen to set up a base in a clearing, about a mile away from where Aiko and Serifina stayed.

One of the guards, who had happened to be a seer, motioned two of the officers towards him.

Kyoshi ignored the officer, continued to watch the activity. He turned towards Sartre, "Has your energy returned?"

Sartre shook his head.

The guard, along with the two officers, carefully made their way around Kyoshi and Sartre, careful not to be seen.

"Guess we'll report back then. We got to get a move on before they find us." Kyoshi began to get up.

"I think it's a bit late for that..." The guard pointed his gun at them.

 

Serifina dozed as she thought about everything. She vaguely made the air around them sway so that the leaves of the trees made soothing sounds.

 

"Stand up." The guard said sternly.

Kyoshi and Sartre slowly stood up.

"I remember you...you escaped right before they gave you the other dose. Guess the doctors will be glad to see you again." he laughed darkly.

Kyoshi tensed.

Sartre tried to contact Serifina, but something was blocking him. He looked at one of the officers. He recognized him, 'Of course, James. The best Jammer SES has had since they murdered the other one months ago.'

James grinned. "Sartre, haven't seen you in a while. The boss'll be happy to see you again."

Sartre turned pale. "H-He's not here, is he?" he asked.

The Seer grinned. "Yes he is. He decided to come and personally see to it, that the base is destroyed." All of a sudden he looked up, lost in thought. "Another one is coming, we'll need a trap." he whispered orders.

"When?" the other officer asked.

"In about 20 minutes, she'll arrive. When she comes through here, the spring will snap, knocking her unconscious." The guard cloaked the device. He then ordered the two officers to grab Kyoshi and Sartre and lead them towards the base. "I'll wait here for the other one..." he climbed into the trees and waited.

Aiko yawned. "They aren't back yet." She wondered.

 

Serifina opened one eye and then the other as she realized it was true. She groaned and sat up. "I told htem to be careful..." she complained, standing up. "Do you want me to go see what's wrong. I need some exercise anyways."

 

Aiko chuckled, "What about Haratsu."

Haratsu sighed. "You had to remind her..."

"Should we take him with us, or do you want to tie him to the ground?" she asked.


When they reached the base, one of the officers took Kyoshi to the medical site. James took Sartre to the leader.

Kyoshi tried several times to free himself, but the officer held him fast.

"You're not going anywhere." he grinned. "Hey Doc! There's someone here to see you!" he yelled over the patients' heads.

One of the Doctors looked up. He squinted his eyes, and recognized Kyoshi. "Aah, so you found him at last. Good, I have been waiting to administer the drug. Set him down at one of the beds. So to it, that he doesn't escape again."

 

"Do you want to watch him while I go? I'll be back in half an hour or you can come after him." Serifina answered.

 

Aiko nodded. "Okay, I'll watch him." She turned and sat down across from Haratsu, watching him.

"She didn't mean literally..." he grumbled.


Kyoshi tried to free himself, while the doctor was getting the syringe ready.

The doctor, Gryf by name, took out a small dusty bottle with about 3 oz of black liquid. "Your medicine will be ready in a bit. Be patient with me."

"Please, take as much time as possible. You have all the time in the world." Kyoshi breathed.

Gryf grinned.

James took Sartre right up to the leader. "We found him, Rick! Told you we would find the traitor sooner or later."

Rick turned around, "Aah, there you were. I was beginning to wonder if you were still alive. You've come at the right time." he motioned for Sartre to follow him.

Sartre hesitated for a bit, but followed him.

 

"yes i did." Serifina retorted over her shoulder. "Have fun you too." she added, taking off after the boy's trail. she used the air to track them more easily.
