SOUL SURVIVOR
CHAPTER
SEVEN: SPIRIT
Garland stopped himself and looked over at the two people standing from
behind him. Dagger gasped and went to run over to Daemon, but Blank held onto
her. He knew that Garland would've hurt her if she came too close to him or
Daemon. The man lowered his hand from the button and darted his crimson eyes
over at the others who were nearly drowning. It would only be a matter of time
before his plan could go into action, and there were only two more to go before
it was the final outcome.
Daemon
opened her eyes weakly and glanced at Kuja. He was running out of air as well as
Amarant and the others were. It was only a matter of seconds before they were
dead, and it scared her. She was a person not used to being so scared, but
seeing Amarant and Kuja in this situation made her heart skip a few beats.
Daemon gathered herself up and drew her sword. With one strong stab against the
side of the pod, she just missed Kuja's body! she began working her way by
making a wide enough hole to get to the Genome.
The
water flooded into both of the pods, and Kuja's hurt body fell into her. He was
gasping for air and seemed to be relieved that he was still alive. Daemon gently
wrapped her arms around him to comfort the nearly drowned man. She suddenly
heard Garland holler at her. It was as if she had foiled his plan or so, and in
the distraction, Blank managed to free Mikoto. Dagger ran over and emptyed the
pods that had Amarant and the others in. She pulled a lever and the group got
out.
"Daemon! Kuja!" Amarant hollered.
Running
towards the pod, he cuffed Garland right across the face and then smashed the
glass. Liqiud spilt everywhere, and glass was sprinkled across the floor.
Garland was lying on the ground, blood pouring some the scratches across his
face where Amarant had cuffed him. He's crimson eyes glared at the others, and
then he looked at Daemon and Kuja. Kuja was in the arms of Mikoto, who managed
to help her oldest brother. As for Daemon, she was clinging onto Amarant,
thanking the lord that he was alive and next to
her.
"You pathetic fools..." Garland said, laughing
cynically.
"What are
you talking about, old timer?" Amarant
sneered.
"You've only
opened up the creation that I tried to close for eternity..." Garland
laughed.
"You don't
mean..." Dagger began.
"Yes...You've only awakened all the enemies that you have destroyed.
I'm sure you remember them: The Black Waltzes, The Soul Cage, The Plant Brain,
and the Gizamiluke only to name a few!" Garland was know cackling. Just
then, Kuja rose his head.
"We
have only awakened...The Spirit..."
