When Cithians Attack

  “ I know you aren’t . But if you want to punish me, you’ll have to get through my dragon first.”I said, fearlessly.

  “Skyrid, be reasonable. You can’t beat a Sayis. So if you’ll just let me take all of you... ”

  “No! I will not let you take us back to our dorm!”

  “Then you leave me no choice. I will fight you! Pedro said, chuckling slightly as his gray wrist rings glowed. Moving both of his arms to the front of his chest, Pedro threw his left hand into the air and shot a half-orange, half-yellow, beam of power at the ceiling. Small orange orbs gathered around him as he moved his arms to his side and his armor started to form onto his body.

  First, an orange helmet with a golden beak carved into each side of it appeared on his head. Second, some red Pauldrons with yellow orbs carved into them appeared on his shoulders, Rerebraces appeared on each arm and orange gauntlets appeared on his hands. Lastly, a brown and white plate of armor appeared on his chest and arylide yellow Tuiles and brass Greaves appeared on his legs.

  Shooting a beam at Pedro, I threw him across the hall and saw his wrist rings glow brighter. Hearing a loud roar, I felt this urge to run, but for some reason my body wouldn’t budge. I smelt smoke coming from the left side of the hallway and touched my dragon as Pedro’s came forward. Seeing the dragon, I shot a beam at it’s yellow armor. Melting, the holes in the armor showed it’s gray chest.

  Pedro then moved his arms back to the front of his chest. But before he could move his arms back to his side, my dragon blew fire at him. Interrupted by my Dragon’s fire, Pikia blew ice at him and he dodged it as the ice flew towards us.

  Before the ice could hurt us, I hit it with a firebeam. Smoke started rising up from the floor and up to the sealing. The Guards started putting oxygen masks on all of us and themselves. Pedro and I put an oxygen mask on the dragons’ heads. At the time that my dragon finally stopped struggling against me, I finally put the air mask over his head. And all of the guards, Pedro and, everybody in the Dragons of light including me rushed out to the outside of the Castle.

  Finally getting outside, me, my dragon, Pedro, all of the guards and the rest of the Dragons of light took off each other’s oxygen masks. I took off the dragon’s oxygen mask off of his head while one of the guards dressed in armor took off my oxygen mask and we all ran to the left side of the Castle, went through the hole in the left side of the basement.

  Appearing in the basement of it, we looked around the place and, Chaser and I found the door to the cabinet under the stairs. Finding dynamite, we rushed up the stairs, lit the dynamite, backed away a few feet and threw the dynamite at the wall.

  We covered our faces and put on our oxygen masks as soon as the smoke appeared and noticed that when the smoke cleared, a hole appeared in the ceiling above us. Taking each other’s gas masks off again, including the dragon’s gas mask, Pedro, Chaser, all of the guards, who were dressed in full armor and all of the Dragons of Light including myself climbed through the hole with our oxygen masks clipped to our pants.

  Then once me, Pedro and everyone else climbed onto the right side of the hole in the floor, I shot a beam of light at the floor and made the hole in the floor bigger, because I didn’t want to leave the dragon all alone where it could be harmed without me knowing about it. The dragon then flew up through the hole while flapping his wings gracefully. The dragon stopped flapping his golden wings, and landed on the side across from our side of the hole in the floor.

  While looking around the room from the left side of the big hole in the floor, Chaser and I had made, we found a bed with Kodyack resting his head on a pillow with his eyes closed as he tossed and turn. Feeling the right side of the room for a switch, I bumped into something. The right side of my body started to hurt I found a switch, flipped it and the light turned on.

  Seeing a silver orb shining brightly, I saw that the sliver’s orb’s light came from small holes, which were on the outside of the room. The silver orb was being held up in the air by a whole line of about five chain links that were attached to each other; the fifth chain was attached to a metal hoop, which was dangling from the top of the wall by a partial metal circle.

  Kodyack opened his eyes, put his right elbow on his white pillow cover, rested his head slightly on top of his right hand, started to yawn and asked us, while shouting:

  “What are you doing in here?! Can’t you see I’m trying to sleep in peace with no noise?! And what in the world happened to my floor?!”

  “We came into here through the basement. Chaser and I lit dynamite sticks and threw them at the wall. Yes, we all can see that you’re sleeping, but before be we came in here; Chaser and I blew a hole in the floor, so we could get back into the Castle, Kodyack.” I explained.

  “Okay. I was going to get a tougher floor anyways.” Kodyack said, shrugging.

  “Can Chaser and I help you fix the hole in your floor?” I asked, looking down at the floor.

  “Thanks for the offer. But the answer is no, because I am supposed to have some carpenters come over to make a tougher floor for me. And all of you can sleep in here for the night.”

  Once Pedro, Kodyack, all of the guards and my dragon went to sleep, me and the rest of the Dragons of Light headed out the door to Kodyack’s bedroom.

  “I wonder how we’re going to get back to the doors with the symbols of the Servants of Light on them.” I said.

  “Why do we need to go back there, Slyer?” Chaser asked as his forehead wrinkled.

  “We need to go back there, because I’m pretty sure that everyone is curious about what the other three doors lead to. ” I said, pondering in my mind what the other three doors could lead to.

  “Well, I’m not curious about what those three doors lead to. But I am curious about what Pedro did with Kevin.” Chaser said.

  “He probably locked him up in Jail again. But why does it matter?”

  “Because he has information on your sister.”

  “You’re right. He does, but I can’t release him again without getting caught by the guards.”

  I saw a silver pedestal with a black orb carved into it. I touched it. A milky white portal opened. We all walked into it. We appeared back in the room with Kevin and the rest of the prisoners in it again.

  “Maybe I should beat you up, Skyrid.”

  “What for, Kevin?”

  “Getting me locked up in here again.”

  “Will you now?”

  “Yes, I’ll pound you and make you wish you were never born!”

  “Really? You know, I could just shoot you with a power beam again.”

  ”Of course I do. But if you do that, I won’t give you your Sister’s location.”

  “Fine, What’d you want?”

  “It’s very simple. You help me escape this rotten place again and I’ll tell you where she’s hidden.”

  “Just touch that pedestal and we’ll be out of here again.”

  Kevin walked over to the silver pedestal and touched the orb on top of it. Nothing happened.

  “How come it didn’t work?” I said.

  “Because only Cithians with powers can activate pedestals, dummies.” Nester said.

  Nester touched the orb. A light purple portal appeared again. We all walked into it. We appeared in front of Kodyack’s door. The doorknob looked it was jammed open.

  I heard my dragon roar.

  Chapter 13 the disturbing note

  I opened the door. Smoke was all over the room. I shot a orb of light in the air. The smoke cleared. Shattered glass was all over the floor. My dragon was trapped in a black forcefield.

  I shot a beam of light at the orb. I directed it towards the forcefield and it crashed into it as it disappeared. I looked around the room. Pedro and Kodyack were gone along with the guards. We all jumped onto Kodyack’s bed.

  My dragon looked at me.

  “Master, I tried to stop them.” My dragon said.

  “You can talk?” I said.

  “Yes.” My dragon said.<
br />
  “Can you tell me what happened?”

  “Sure. Two figures in black cloaks with green stripes on them appeared. They broke the window with an orb of darkness. They crawled in through the window. They trapped me in the black forcefield. They grabbed Pedro and Kodyack as they flung them over their shoulders. A black portal appeared. They left a note on top of the dresser. They walked into it. It disappeared as smoke filled the room.” My dragon said.

  Jaren leaned over, placing his hand on top of the dresser. Jaren grabbed the note.

  “Skyrid,

  I have kidnapped Pedro and Kodyack. To get them back you must fight me in Warrior Power Battle Competition and win it all together. You do that, and I’ll release them. I’ll see you at the fight.” Jaren read. Jaren looked at me.

  “The note is in my dad’s handwriting.” he said.

  “Are you sure?” I said.

  “Yes.” Jaren said.

  “He must’ve been possessed then.” I said.

  “You think?” Jaren said.

  “It’s the only plausible explanation.” I said.

  “Possessed? My dad’s been possessed?” Jaren said.

  “Apparently so.” I said.

  “Now, it all makes sense. One minute he’s all nice and the next he’s all evil. A possession seems possible.” Jaren said.

  “Exactly. But, it’s probably a guardian or someone that’s good friends with the guardians.” I said.

  “Why you say that?” Chaser said.

  “Because the guardians would never let somebody evil past them, It’d have to be one of them or a good guy.” I said.

  “What about me? I thought I was going to get my powers back from Pedro.”Kevin said.

  “Kevin, you can’t get your powers back until we rescue them.” I said.

  “Fine. I’ll just go back to prison.” Kevin said.

  Kevin made my hand touch the pedestal beside the bed, in front of the dresser. It was painted tan with a blue orb carved into it. A purple portal appeared again. Kevin jumped into it as it disappeared. I looked at Parser.

  “Parse, do you think we have a chance against these guys?” I said.

  “I don’t know. A Cithian is ten times stronger when it’s possessed. So, we have as much a chance of doing that as we do getting world peace.” Parser said.

  “Basically, we don’t have a chance, do we?” I said.

  “Nope.” Parser said.

  A voice came over the intercom.

  “All students report to the Hall of Sayis Dragons.” It said. Nester touched the blue orb. A yellow portal appeared as we all turned into white orbs. Our vision was blinded. When we materialized, we were in the Hall of Sayis Dragons.

  Four tables were in front of us. Classes 2 and 4 were already sitting at their assigned tables. Behind the tables was the Teachers’ Table. 6 people were sitting there with two empty chairs in between them. One of them stood up.

  He had a milky white face. His grassy green eyes glowed. He was wearing a green cloak. He put his hood down. Gray hair covered the top of his head.

  “My name is Kaiser Jaymes. Last night, Pedro and Kodyack were kidnapped. According to the camera footage, there were two captors.” he said. I stood up.

  “Did your camera see the note on Kodyack’s dresser?” I said.

  “No. The camera is above the bed. So we could only see the bed. “ Kaiser said.

  “Well, in that note it said that if I fight against the main captor and win, they would release Kodyack and Pedro.” I said.

  “No. We cannot risk it.” Kaiser said.

  Chaser stood up.

  “But, Skyrid’s dad won so he does have a chance.” he said.

  “Not if he doesn’t have the same power mastery training as his dad. We can’t risk Skyrid losing because, he’ll get imprisoned. So, my solution is to train every student to fight in this war.” Kaiser said. I stood there silent. Kaiser looked at the crowd.

  “Now that everything is sorted out, let the feast begin.” he said. Kaiser shot orbs of light at the tables. They turned into food. There was steak, dragon meat, Phoenix meat (which is not actually form a phoenix but it’s flamin’ spicy and that’s why it’s called Phoenix meat) and sausage. Everybody filled their plates.

  I filled my plate with steak and sausage. Someone tapped my shoulder. I turned around. He was sitting at class 3’s table. His green eyes shimmered. His red cloak glowed. His face was pasty white. His hair was dark brown.

  “Did Pedro and Kodyack really get kidnapped?” he said.

  “Yes. Who are you?” I said.

  “I’m Tucker Meyers.” he said.

  “Who do you think did the kidnapping, Tucker?” I said.

  “One of the guardians and Furliceo Woolsley.” Tucker said.

  “Why’d you think that? The guardians are good people.” I said.

  “How else would they get past the guardians?” Tucker said.

  “I don’t know.” I said.

  “Exactly. The captors are a guardian and someone else.” Tucker said.

  “I’m pretty sure it’s Jaren’s dad, Jakin James.” I said.

  “You better be! You can’t freakin’ accuse people like that.” Tucker said.

  “I’m not! The note was in his handwriting!” I said. I turned back around. I ate all my food. Chaser nudged me.

  “Hiya, Skyrid. I’m a Costa blood. My dad’s a Cithian. And, my Mom is normal. What about you?” he said.

  “What are the types of bloods?” I said.

  “There’s a costa blood, which means that only one of your parents is a Cithian. Then, there’s the other: a Rasta Blood, which means both of your parents are Cithians.” Chaser said.

  “Alright, I guess I’m a Rasta blood.” I said. Tucker nudged me.

  “I’m a Rasta blood too. What was your malfunction like?” he said.

  “White orbs went into my hands and beams of light shot out of them. What about yours?” I said.

  “If you must know, I frickin’ had a warrior power possession.”

  “That sucks. What was it like though?” I said.

  “I heard voices telling me to do bad things like to kill people. Then I rose into the air as beams of darkness shot out of my hands. I fell down to the ground unconscious.” Tucker said.

  “Wow. That’s pretty bad. I didn’t think it was going to be though.” I said. Kaiser stood up. We all looked at him.

  “Now, I shall introduce your teachers. On my left, we have: Jared Riker, your referee for Warrior power Battles, and on my left is Kama Fraizer, The Weapons Master and Jamie Jacobs, the teacher for the History of the Sayis. Finally, we have myself. I am the Teacher for the training of the future Sayis’.” he said. Kaiser sat down. Everyone else finished their plates. Kaiser stood up again.

  “Now that the feast is over, I would like the Dragons of Light to follow Jamie and the Servants of the Sayis’ to follow me.” We all stood up. The Servants of the Sayis’ went with Kaiser and the Dragons of Light went with Jamie.

  ***

  Jamie lead us out the double doors. A hall of pedestals with orbs carved into them was shown to us. Jamie touched one of them. It was painted sky blue with a golden orb carved into it.

  We all turned into clear white orbs. Our vision was in tunnels. A green portal appeared. We all were sucked into it.When we materialized, we appeared in a room with a bunch of desks in front of us and each one had a big book on it. In front of the desks was Jamie’s desk. Beside it was a bronze pedestal with a blue orb carved into it. We all took our seats.

  Jamie stood up.

  “Students, please turn your books to page five. Skyrid, you will be our first reader.” she said.

  We all flipped our books to page five.

  “The Sayis’ were made during the interdimensional war of 1885. They were made to put more structure into the Cithian race and to right the wrongs done by Cithian malfunctions.” I read.

  “Caitlyn, you can read next.” Jamie said.

  “The
reason why this structure was needed was because massive betrayals of people that were good started happening. I’ll give you this example: Imagine ten people that are good.

  Nine out of ten people turned evil.” Caitlyn put her head up.

  “Karrithea, you read next.” Jamie said.

  “It was a strange time back then. The Warrior Council didn’t enforce the rules good enough. They needed a person who can take powers away. The Sayis Council was founded by Kasey Williams.

  The Sayis Council is a group of 4 representatives for each side and one Hecticmaker. It is comprised of Richard Markson the Hecticmaker, Vogler Brixen the Sedro Sayis representative, Adagar Markson the Gator Sayis representative, Viraces Woolsley the Light Sayis representative, the Minotaur Sayis representative, Kasey Williams the Darkness Sayis representative, Trace Woolsley the Hydra Sayis representative, Tovar row Simmons IV

  the Cerberus Sayis representative, and Blade Woolsley the Qysterio Sayis representative.” Karrithea looked up.

  “Parser, you may read now.” Jamie said.

  “The second structural thing was the Sayis’ themselves. There are two sides to the Sayis’. The Servants of Light and the Warriors of Darkness. Elwoods Bolto was the first Alien to become a Cithian. He is Sedro Sayis and the Leader of the Servants of Light. The second Sayis is Gator Sayis, which used to be Gadrid Markson but since he died in the war of Darkomega, Alex Crop is the new Gator Sayis. Pedro Jerricus is Light Sayis. Bradley Greenson is Minotaur Sayis.

  The Warriors of Darkness’ leader is Darkness Sayis, which is Furliceo Woolsley. Hydra Sayis is Gaze Woolsley. Cerberus Sayis is Klade Woolsley. Qysterio Sayis is Blaze Woolsley.” Parser read.

  “And that’s the end of the lesson. Any questions?” Jamie said.

  “Yeah. What’s the Warrior Council?” I said.

  “The Warrior Council is a group of 5 people who handle misdemeanor crimes. It is comprised of Crystal Crop the head, Gaser Woolsley, Curlicea Woolsley, Elmer Books, and Baser Woolsley.” Jamie said.

  “Why do you teach about the Sayis’?” I said.

  “I teach about the Sayis in the hope that their example will invoke strong enough messages to bring to pass more Good Sayis’ in the near future. Class dismissed.” Jamie said. Jamie’s classroom door opened. Kaiser stood in the doorway.
