****************** Reunited: Chapter 12: Versus **********************
"Don't worry, Hitomi-you'll
be okay." Allen said as he ran his fingers through her hair. Hitomi looks
up and knew that she was in the castle. Yet she was suppose to die but
because Van helped her she was still alive.
"Van!" She realized and
tried to get up from her bed. Allen immediately stopped her. They had absolutely
no clue what she was talking about.
Allen looked at her. "Save your strength."
"No. I'm fine, where's Van?"
"Huh? We still haven't found
him...Are you sure you're alright?"
Hitomi fell silent. Did Allen think I'm out of my
mind? Fine, let him think what he thinks. She opened her lips slightly.
"But I saw him!" she insisted.
Allen turn his eyes away, he closed them for a while
and looked at her straight into her eyes. "Just calm down, Hitomi." He
rested his hands on her shoulder. "Van is okay, wherever he is."
"But I-" Hitomi felt it's
useless to argue and lay down on her bed. Everybody leaves the room.
"Boss! Zaibachs are attacking
the Asturian district!" Gadeth run wildly as his men are busy for the rendezvous.
"Alright, prepare Sherezade." Allen ordered. "Celena, i need your back
up."
"Roger."
The Crusade flies for battle while Celena and Allen
are in the battleground battling other melefs. An unknown Guymelef appears.
"Asturian people, behold...the
magnificence of Galatea. The key for new Atlantis."
"What?!" chorused the two
siblings.
Merle started to walk in. Handling a piece of clean
red cloth. She sat in her bed and talked to Hitomi.
"You know Hitomi, you're
lucky. Van let you know he's still alive because he came back
just to save you."
"Merle." Hitomi looked at
her.
"I saw this when Allen was
carrying you." She sigh. "I envy you coz you have the chance to see him.
But I'm happy to know he's still alive. Here, I think this belongs to you."
Merle gave the cloth to Hitomi. "Hey! You owe me one, I washed it just
for you." Merle said.
"Thanks Merle." Hitomi smiled as she took the cloth and used it as
her scarf.
"D@mn y0u Zaibachs!" Allen cursed as he thrusted
his sword on the Galatea. The melef blocked it. Slash. Block. Thrust. Block.
Slash. Block. Slash. Block. "Man, this one's good on defense." Allen thought,
he couldn't even stand a chance. Thrust. Block. Thrust. Block. Thrust.
Block. Thrust. Slash. "What the-?!" Allen didn't saw that. It rips off
his melefs armour.
"Brother, Are you alright?"
Celena asked. She was busy fighting other melefs, but she saw how good
Allen's opponent is. "Celena don't worry, I'm alright." He said. Allen
gritted his teeth and mumbled.
"You'll see why I'm called the Heavenly Knight."
"Withdraw." Seth ordered.
"But, we haven't started
yet." Dame complained.
"We have done much destruction
for now." He said
"Fine. Fine I'll go." She
said.
"I thought I could finish that melef in five minutes,
he was pretty good for a beginner." Dame thought as she was looking at
Sherezade. She took off and left the melef alone with the few remaining
Asturian melef. "Wait! Were not finish yet!" Dame could hear the loser
yelling at her "Oh, pity. I shouldn't have fought with that loser."
After an hour...
Allen along with Gadeth banged the door of the throne
room of Dame.
"Are you nuts! What the-Dame?" Allen gasped.
"Hello, Knight of Asturia, What's you're name anyway?" Dame smiled.
"Allen, Allen Shezar. Your Highness we demand an explanation for attacking
Asturia."
"Are you demanding an Empress?"
"Oh yes."
"Very well, for being so rude, you have to agree on my condition. We'll
have a duel."
"Oh great, a battle...This is hopeless." Gadeth mumbled.
"What?! That's ridiculus! You can't even stand a chance against me."
Allen said half-laughing.
"Grr, this man is full of air in his head." She thought. "If you win,"
trying to sound lady-like. "i'll explain it. But if you lose, you're going
to give me your melef."
"What?!"
"Give me you're best shot. I won't be that forgiving." She grinned.
Both of were ready. It seems that the challenge will
be that easy. Dame's servants meanwhile are very worried for her safety.
He draws out his sword revealing a bluish flare in the sword. She looks
as if she was just playing, she was excited, really excited to fight. Allen
stroked his sword backward, clashing with her's. She smiles, Allen wondering
why she is smiling never saw the metal sheath coming to him. Bam! Dame
sent him sprawling to the ground. "I told you I wouldn't be forgiving."
She said. "Aren't you going to give up?" Allen stood and he sheaths his
sword. "No." Allen charges, the tip of his sword is aimed at her. Dame
blocks his thrust. Dame swings her sword. Allen tries to retaliate and
he succeeds. Dame repeatedly strikes Allen. She was ready to slit Allen's
throat but she stops. "Ladies and gentlemen...I think we have a winner."
