Chapter 4: Late breaking Confusion
Sabre sat up… everything was blurry and he had a headache. The rest of the Brotherhood was recovering as well.
" What the hell just happened?" Sojourner staggered to his feet and leaned on a chair
" I don’t know. But it was
BAD!" Thunderhawk stood up and pulled sabre to his feet
"Thanks. Where’s Locke?" Sabre looked around with a shocked statement
" And Knuckles!" Sojourner echoed
" And Julaya too!" Thunderhawk looked around and went over to a monitor. It blipped to life and showed the path of devastation left behind the army
" Good lord…" Sabre said softly, the emerald chamber was clear blown away… only the emerald was left.
" No…No it can’t! …Are they…?" Sabre stared at the screen with the emerald on it, tears brimming in his eyes " my…my son…" He dropped to the ground from shock and just let his tears flow. Sojourner knelt next to him and put his hand on Sabre’s shoulder. He looked up at Sojourner, who had a look of compassion in his eyes, and Cried. Thunderhawk, Tobor, and Hawking looked down at Sabre and Sojourner. All were Speechless. Sabre, one of the strongest members of the Brotherhood, with the most carved emotions, was crying like a child. Sojourner was doing his best to be of comfort, but he was suffering a loss as well, Spectre was missing too. He was kidnapped; Sojourner forced himself to be brave, if not for himself…for Sabre. He whispered to Sabre
" Shhhhh, it’s okay. They’re all fine… nothing happened, they got out okay, it’s okay. I promise." Although it was a whisper, the room was dead silent…everyone heard the cracks in Sojourners Voice
Chapter 5: the lost ones
" Whose damn idea was it to put the damn emerald chamber right in the middle of the damn island!!!" Julaya was flaming at her father
" Stop saying damn. You are a lady… Not a tramp!" Locke answered sharply.
" That’s what he thinks…" Julaya whispered back to knuckles, who snickered
" I heard…" he stopped " oh my god…"
" What the he… Woah…" Julaya gasped all knuckles was do was look on from a distance. The Sight was almost too much for them to take in. A whole Chameleon Village was burned to the ground and there were bodies everywhere… so much death and destruction all over. Julaya saw something and slowly walked over and picked it up
" What is it?" Knuckles came over and looked at the little doll in his sisters hands
" How could someone do this? These people did nothing to deserve this fait… it just doesn’t seem fair…" Knuckles put his hand on her shoulder and shrugged
"Come on, let’s go."
Chapter 6: Sabre’s wish
Sojourner sighed.
"Everything was so quite without them…."
Sabre had stressed himself into such a state he had to be sedated. Sojourner felt this was his fault… he was the one that said they could go… and now they were gone
"If only I took what Spectre said seriously! Maybe if I didn’t send them… they…they’d be here… and…" Thunderhawk finally spoke up
" Someone else would be there and someone else would be in this same place. Maybe you should go see if Sabre’s all right…" Thunderhawk smiled softly " he trusts you." Sojourner knew his son was right… so he headed down to the sick Bay.
* * *
Spectre snuck back into the tent and looked around for Sapphire… but there were so many caged souls it looked more like a maze then prison. Then he heard something… like a soft singing…
" Will his eyes reveal to me, promises or lies?
But he can’t conceal from me, the love in his eyes
I know there every look
There like an open book
And most of all the look that hypnotizes…."
He knew that Voice anywhere and he followed the sound to a cell, not a cage… a real cell and sitting inside was Sapphire, softly singing and looking at a small picture
" Oh Alexandre… where did you go?" She said sadly. Spectre looked on in awe… he never knew this.
" Well… so much for taking it slowly…" Spectre walked over to her cage
* * *
Sojourner crept into the sickbay. He silently sat down.
" What do you want?" Sabre answered
" I thought you were asleep…."
" I was" Sabre sat up and looked at him " But why should I be sleeping?" Sojourner didn’t answer… there was no real answer…Sabre was right…
" Because I said so."
* * *
" I sure as hell hope this ain’t some kinda Sucked up Joke!" Julaya started up again when they got to the edge of the forbidden zone
" At least it’s not the legion!" Knuckles said sarcastically
"Yeah… well…. I’d rather fight the legion then a buncha dead freaks anyway!"
* * *
"Because I said so?" Sabre asked, "That’s not an answer!"
" Sabre… if you want an answer then I’ll give you one. Locke, Julaya, & Knuckles have a 50% chance of being alive! Unlike Spectre who is about a one in Ten thousand chance of surviving So Snap out of it!" Sojourner then realized that he was crying. His head bowed and he looked away.
" I’m so sorry… I didn’t know…I thought he was still here." Sabre was whispering. " Oh God Sojourner. I’m sorry. Spectre’s a fighter." Sojourner got up and left leaving Sabre in quite a rush.
" He will be okay. They all will be. I hope."
* * *
" Dad… What if they aren’t here?" Knuckles asked
" Yeah dad. What then?" Julaya hurried up to next to him
" Then we go find them, free them, and help fight those dead creeps back into where ever they came from!"
* * *
Sabre stood up, but fell back on his hands, the sedative still hadn’t warn off And he was beginning to hate Sojourner for doing this to him
" I have to do this." He forced himself to stand again but as he began to stumble he grabbed the small table next to the bed. Slowly he steadied himself and slowly began out of the med labs
* * *
Spectre crept up to the cage bars and looked in
" Alexandre?" She stood up
" Sapphire?" He reached out for her hands and he took them.
" Alexandre! Mi amor! I knew you’d come."
" Te Amo Sapphire," Spectre said and he kissed her. They stood there with everyone watching and neither of them caring. They were together finally and nothing would tear them apart. Or so they thought
* * *
Sabre Struggled over to the door of the sickbay and slowly walked out. Everything looked as it did when he awoke. It was more a mental haze now then it was his eye. The wall was his only support as he slowly crept through the now un-familiar halls. His destination was near, Comm Room 2; The only place he could find out the fates of his family. Just as he thought that everything was going to be fine Thunderhawk appeared in the doorway of the comm room and saw him
" Sabre!" He rushed over to him and took him by the arm "What are you doing here! You should be resting!"
" I’m Fine Thunderhawk! I swear." He looked at Thunderhawk, whom was just about to let go of his arm when he fell to the floor
" SABRE! " There was no response from Sabre. " Sabre? Sabre can you hear me? Oh god. SOJOURNER?! SOMEONE! HELP!!"
Chapter 7: True love
Spectre and Sapphire Stood there against the cold steal bars Kissing for what seemed like an eternity before they separated
" I’ve missed you so badly." Sapphire Kissed him again
" I missed you too Mi Amor"
" Stay with me. Free me from this prison then come with me! We can be happy together!" She smiled at him as she said this and kissed him again " you were a great guardian. Now it’s time for us!" She continued. " We can be happy again, we can be in love again. Come with me! Come home with me Alexandre!" She held his hand and pushed the retract button on his cowl so she could see into his azure eyes
" Sapphire… I want to. I love you. But there’s a young girl that needs me. Her father doesn’t care about her… She trusts me and I can’t leave her without telling her what’s going to happen." Spectre held both her hands now. " You know I’ll come. I’ll come back. I’m yours forever Sapphire. I just need to tell Julaya… and… Sojourner…" He looked away before she spoke
" Fine… If you need to Tell our son and that girl what’s going to happen, then go. I’ll be here for you." Spectre smiled and they kissed again
" I’ll be back for you Sapphire. I promise! And Call me Spectre to be safe!" He crept out of the tent and back into the camp
" All right my Spectre… If that’s what you want…I will wait for you." She sighed and sat back down on her cot
Chapter 8: It spreads
Thunderhawk slowly leaned sabre onto his shoulder and took his pulse just as Sojourner came down the hallway
"Oh no" he hurried over just to see one of his fears played out.
" don’t try to wake him father. It’s useless, He must have thought the sedative had worn off." Thunderhawk said softly
" Bull shit, he knew damn well it wasn’t worn off! Sabre for gods sake I warned you! Wake up Sabre WAKE UP!" He began shaking Sabre. It took a while but he finally arose
" Oooooh… my head… Wh- Where in the hell am I…?" Sabre knew damn well where he was but … he also knew sojourner would be mad as hell at him
" Sabre! Are you okay! What the hell is wrong with you?!? You could have been hu-…" Thunderhawk cut him off
" Why don’t you two have this little chat while you’re on you’re way to Sabre’s room?" He had a point. They both agreed. And with some help Sabre and Sojourner slowly walked towards Saber’s room.
* * *
" Haven sweet Haven!" Julaya said happily as she flung herself into the holographic fire wall
" Finally! I can’t believe it!" Knuckles said happily as he jumped in after his sister
" I just hope we’re not too late." Locke said as he walked in
* * *
Dear lord Sabre! I was more then worried about you! That was stupid! You could’ve gotten hurt! Or worse!" Sojourner lectured as they slowly walked to Sabre’s room
" I had to! You don’t understand!" Sabre slowly opened his door and the walked over to his bed and sat down.
" No you did not! Why did you do that Sabre?!"
" Because I felt that it was my fault that Spectre was Kidnapped and I felt like I had to go and see if his communicator was working. If it was I knew that I could find him and see if he was okay!" He looked at the floor in embarrassment
" Sabre…" Sojourner, said softly " I don’t know what to say. If I knew that earlier then I wouldn’t have been so mad. I was just worried that you could’ve been hurt!" He looked softly at his grandson, who was still looking at the floor. " Now… you need rest. Can you promise me you will stay here?" Sabre nodded slowly and he took his blanket and wrapped it around his shoulders and leaned against the headboard of his bed
" Yes. I’ll stay…" And Sojourner smiled as he turned off the lights and went back outside.
