[b] CHAPTER 6---DEADLY CHAMBER Minos uses Shirley as an Evil weapon [/b] "What is this place?!" Shirley asked.. "Shut up, fool... This is Sindar... This is my present for you, as I said earlier... Hahahaha!!!!" Minos pulls Shirley's hand.. "What am I going to do with your gift?!" "What are you going to do?? Hmmm....." Minos stopped pulling Shirley... "Well, I'll tell you later!! Hahaha!!!" Shirley saw machines and complex devices in Sindar.. Long wires connect machine to machine to controlling device.. "Looks like your enjoying the tour, crystal chi, but I'm gonna show you a better machine!" Minos grabs SHirley's hair and went to a large room.. Shirley was terrified at the moment she saw it... "This, crystal chi, is my present for you.. This is the Elendia!" Minos uttered to her.. "What is this Elendia?" Shirley asked, horrified.. "This? Well, all I'm gonna do is borrow your power.." Minos grins with atrocity.. "Borrow my power?" "Yes.....Hahaha!" "No! I have no power!" "You're kidding me, weakling! You're the Melduha!" "Oh.... Melduha..." Shirley stopped for a moment and remembered the past when she was doing the rite of Melduha... [i] That girl's a weakling! She does not survived the rite!" a Yashunan said.. "Indeed.. Of all the Melduhas, she is the weakest!" another one murmured.. "Why did Haswar has a daughter like this? I think Katy is more deserving than Shirley.." another one whispered.. [/i] "Then why keep on telling to me that I'm a weakling yet you call me the Melduha?!" Shirley asked angrily.. "Nothing, it just fits you more.... Hahaha! Come on now, I'm gonna show you something..." Minos grabbed again Shirley and went to the control room.. "Now, Melduha, enter that chamber!" Minos commanded.. "Over my dead body! I'm not going in their!!" she refused.. "Oh you say.... Then I may just order Wilhelm to exterminate your brother...." "No you can't!!" "Oh, yes I can... Hahaha!!" "You---------alright! But I'm telling you, you can't get any power from me.." As Shirley was going to step inside the chamber, she notices another chamber... "Melduha! Go inside there or else!!" Minos shouted.. Shirley touched the chamber's clear glass.. She was frightened at what she saw inside---a girl who was connected with wires.. "No! This can't be real!! " Shirley said at the moment she saw the girl.. Minos' patience was over.. He used his iron chi and made Shirley slam on the floor, causing her to sleep.. Minos put her into the chamber and connected her with wires just like the other girl in the chamber.. "At last, the power's all mine... Hahaha!!!" ******************************************************************************************** [b] CHAPTER 7---LEDAH'S EMOTIONS Ledah finally gets a chance to speak with Tidus [/b] "Alright Ein, I've got your orders.. Let's move out the next day.." Tidus said andwent outside the elder's house.. "Kyril, I wish you would gladly cooperate with Tidus.." Ein said.. "I'm trying Master..." Kyril replied and left Zegai and Ein.. "Zegai, why won't you take a rest?" Ein uttered.. "Gladly.. Thank you...." Zegai bowed to him.. "Just go east after entering that door.." Ein pointed out.. "Got it.." Zegai replied.. Ein drew his attention to Ledah and asked a favor.. "Ledah, I'll be going out, please make Tidus and Zegai at home..." "Yes, Master.." Ledah said hesitantly.. After Ein left Ceras, Ledah finds Tidus.. "Oooooohhhh... Where's that boy?" Ledah thought.. Ledah was surprised when she saw Tidus near the lake.. "Oh, you're here..." Ledah spoke as she sided Tidus.. "What do you want, hot-headed girl?" Tidus asked.. "Look who's talking! You're the one hot-headed here..." "Well, if you're gonna talk nonsense, I''l just go back.." "Hey... No! Wait!!!" Ledah grabbed Tidus' clothes.. "Sheezz... He's the one one hot-headed..." Ledah whispered.. "What did you say?" "Oh.... Nothing..." "Now, why are you here?" Tidus asked seriously.. "Oh... I see..." "Tidus, Shirley really needs your help.." "Yeah... I know that..." "No! What I mean is, she's desperate you having by her side.." Tidus looked up in the sky.. "Well, she's dependent on me... She's my sister.." "Are you sure you are her brother?" "Positive.. Any objections?" "None... She told me anyway that you are his brother... I've just wish you would save her from Minos.." "Don't worry, I will.." "Well, you would be partnering Kyril at the palace attack tomorrow.." "Yeah... I've wished Zegai would be my partner, but Ein wants Kyril... He knows that I'm not fond of that Guardian.. Why'd he put him next to me anyway?" "He is the Guardian of Melduha, you know?" "That word irritates me... Well, I'm her brother.." "You sound a bit of jealous to Kyril.." "What?!" "Oh... Nothing.." "You're weird..." "I don't care! Well, Tidus... I wish you goodluck tomorrow.. I'm sure you'll win, you are the Asgard holder! A powerful ancient relic......" "Thanks, when I come back, you'll see Shirley again..." "Thanks, I'll be leaving now..." Ledah walked away and waved goodbye to him... "Bye..." Tidus looked back at her and waved goodbye also.. He looked back at the clear, calm water at the lake and saw his image... "Ledah's right... I'm jealous..." he talked to himself...
