The Void Ark #9

Public
I watched helplessly as I tried everything in my power to gain control again. My back hurt so much, the pain alone kept me from wanting to try anything. The sky around me was still filled with clouds as I continued to fall at a rapid rate, growing faster gravity dictated. I attempted to summon my wings but it was clear my body was far to focused upon healing the nerves connected to my spine. Closing my eyes, I had no idea what to do and fear took over.

The sounds of the rapid flowing air filled my ears and I could not hear anything beside the sounds of my descent. Opening my eyes, I was shocked to see something was following me down. As I focused upon it, I noticed several creatures flying over me as they desperately attempted to dive after me. Sounds of several wings flapping around me finally filled my ears as we cleared the clouds and below, I looked upon several dragons and wyverns whom were floating beneath, awaiting me. Finally something grasped my leg and quickly re-positioned to gently holding me as our descent slowed until we finally began floating.

My eyes laid upon that of the hyur man with dark blue hair and I could not help but smile.

"Ryu..."

"You're hurt... Badly"

I grit my teeth, feeling my back slowly heal. None the less, I was incapable of doing anything else for the moment.

"Tap my ear, turn my linkpearl on."

He nodded and quickly tapped my left ear, activating the linkpearl and allowing me to broadcast to everyone up in the Ark.

"I am inactive loves. Alive, but I can not move my body. We must retreat. Full Retreat before anyone is hurt further. I apologize.... we were not ready for this."

Master Denz quickly pressed the linkpearl in his ear and nodded towards everyone.

"We will retreat the moment we take care of this annoyance."


*****


Mahdi heard the broadcast and began to answer himself as he placed his weapon upon his back. His armor had been cut in several places. An entire chunk had been removed, revealing his right peck, shoulder and arm. None the less, he remained mostly unharmed.

"I will make my way out as soon as I can."

Looking behind him, he watched Fafnir limping off into the shadows, wearing a smile of relief upon his face, knowing he had won in the end.

"This is not over, we WILL meet again."

"Hehe...haha.... Grr..... When we do.... You will die, being cut into pieces!"

The linkpearl began to broadcast again, and Mahdi watched silently as he watched Fafnir disappear, off to lick his wounds.

"Where is Fenris? Someone make sure to find Fenris!"

Mahdis eyes widened and he quickly began to search the Ark for Fenris.


******


Fenris backhanded Fenrir, causing the old esper to step backwards. Both were clearly tired as they still tried to keep fighting. Fenrirs healing had finally slowed, but at the cost of Fenris own health. The young miqo'te looked down upon his bleeding hands. The metal which covered them before had broken off, wearing durring the battle and freezing from Fenrirs ice covered arms.

Breathing heavily, Fenris kept his bad eye closed, showing the wear upon his body. His arms and legs bleeding where icicles and penetrated through his body. When the broadcast filled his ears, he quickly grasped the linkpearl and tossed it to the ground, attempting to keep focused upon the enemy before him.

"I heard that."

Fenrir stated to the younger miqo'te, as if to taunt him. Placing his hand upon his shoulder, Fenris pulled a spike out and tossed it to the ground, stomping his foot upon it.

"I don't care. I'm not done with you yet!"

Sighing, Fenrir readied for another battle. As Fenris charged at him, his fist hit the old miqo'tes arms as he was blocked. The strength Fenris possessed was clearly wearing thin. Fenrir himself was incapable of keeping up as several punches made their way to his face and stomach. Returning almost every punch, Fenrir kept small ice spikes upon his knuckles as he constantly penetrated his descendants skin and made him bleed more. Finally Fenrir had enough of the fight and quickly grasped Fenris arm, flipping him over his body and tossing him hard unto the ground.

"Enough of this boy! You have lost! Face it!"

Fenris grinned, unable to really move much. Releasing his arm, Fenrir backed away and felt himself grin as he watched Fenris slowly roll over and push himself to his arms and knees, attempting to stand.

"I will....not give in...... I will fight till death. That is the ishgardian way. We do not retreat. We.... We do not give in!"

Keeping a smile, Fenrir looked down to his descendant, quite differently from before.

"Here I thought you to be but a child with no honor and moral for his home. Do you truly have such a commitment to Ishgard that you would die for its people?"

Fenris did not answer with words, instead he pushed himself to his feet, staggering as he attempted to balance himself. Blood trickling down from his several wounds, coloring his skin in dark red. Again, Fenrir felt a certain pleasure watching Fenris stand for what he believes in.

"Very well. Till death do you part."

Snow began to fill the room, covering Fenrir from top to bottom as his body became the beast form Fenrir. Howling loudly, the wolf looked to Fenris and quickly pounced. Effortlessly he overpowered Fenris and bit hard into his shoulder and neck, ripping at Fenris tendants. Roaring in pain, Fenris tried to push the creature off, failing as his blood began to fill the ground. He finally lost consiousness as Fenrir pulled his mouth from Fenris shoulder.

Returning to his miqo'te form, Fenrirs armor reappeared over his body as he looked down to Fenris.

"You will do just fine."

As he walked away, snow drifted all around and he disappeared into the darkness without a trace.


******


Mahdi cut down several voidsent as he made his way through the near endless tunnels of the Void Ark. Searching desperately, he was having a hard time finding Fenris until he smelled something familiar.

"Blood..... Lots of blood."

He took a long sniff at the air and pinpointed the location. Running towards it, he quickly found a sealed room.

"Alright... Make it tough if you want."

Grasping his blade, he quickly cut through the doorway as if butter and kicked the remains apart. Within he found Fenris laying in a pool of blood. Rushing to his side, he stopped and began to search around Fenris' body. Everything looked normal, almost as if he had not been hurt at all. Taking a pulse, he found one, though slightly fainter then he had hoped.

"Alright lad. Lets get you're sorry arse outta here shall we?"

As he reached down, Mahdi grasped Fenris' arm and slowly placed him over his shoulder. Looking around, he thought for a long moment and knew all to well, he was lost.

"Well shite.... perhaps I should just make a way out?"

As if by request, several paths began to open before him. Knowing this was not coincidence, he had to make a choice.

"Well.... Guess I won't complain. Hope this is the way out, You're a heavy bugger."

Following the path, Mahdi eventually found a ventilation shaft leading outside. Summoning his mount, he quickly placed Fenris upon it and mounted, making off into the skies.


*****


The linkpearl came to life in everyones ear once more. Mahdis voice took over as he explained the situation.

"I have Fenris, he seems alright but he may need some medical attention. Regroup at the Rising Stones."

Krohman nodded and looked over at the eikon before them, still filled with fire and rage.

"Alright.... I've had enough of this."

Stepping up, towards Ifrit, Cleo was batted towards him, and Krohman quickly caught her. She nearly fell to her knees, tired and he placed her down, gently.

"I got this."

Master Denz nodded as he quickly began to float over everyone and put up a defensive shield. Cracking his neck, Krohman quickly placed his hand upon his right knuckle and stretched his arms a bit.

"Alright lad, enough playing around. Face me."

Ifrit did as he was told, grinning towards the miqo'te whom took a the tigers fighting stance, ready to counter. Rushing head first, Ifrit shot himself at Krohman, as if a rocket. Standing his ground, Krohman quickly stepped to the side and perfect placed his arms around Ifrits head. Panicing Ifrit continued to rush around, taking to the sky, shattering the fire dome it had placed over eveyone. Tightening his arm around Ifrits neck, the eikon collapsed upon the ground, nearly losing consciousness.

Krohman did not release his grip, instead he tightened it, until he heard and felt a sickly crack from the creatures neck. Quickly he released, and jumped backwards as the creature exploded, dissipating into aether. Master denz kept his shield up as he glanced upon Uriel, watching over them.

"Not bad for mortals. Care for round two?"

Krohman slowly stepped backwards, keeping his eyes upon Uriel, baring his fangs towards the man.

"Next time."

Laughing, Uriel, adjusted his glasses with a large grin on his face.

"Oh, I look forward to it."

Stepping into the Shield, Master Denz quickly teleported everyone away to safety.
