Jaakuna didn’t know what to do. Even hearing Nadeline speak wasn’t doing him any good. Just seeing the situation he is in gets him even more angry, but what is he to do? There was literally nothing he could do. There was no loophole he could figure out to get Emiri out of this mess. Jaakuna would either have to let Emiri die and live with that his entire life or give up the Dawn Shard in hoping it would get her out of harms way. Then, it hit him. He had an idea. Jaakuna stepping forward, Ixion still had his blade to Emiri’s neck. [b]“Okay, I have it here."[/b] Jaakuna reached into his pocket. Ixion smiled. [b]“Good, bring it here.”[/b] He said. Jaakuna walked forward, standing about three feet in front of Ixion. Ixion would let her go, as Jaakuna started to pull out the Dawn Shard, not the Dusk Shard. Then at the slightest moment, Jaakuna rushed forward in one leap. He pressed his right hand on Ixion’s sword arm , gripping the blade itself. Even though his hand was cut, he would allow Emiri to get away, but not at a great cost. Ixion would shove his hand through Jaakuna’s right left shoulder, and an electrical charge would be induced into his shoulder, sending so many watts of electricity into it. Jaakuna screamed in agony and pain. When he fell to the ground, shaking from the feeling of being paralyzed, he saw Emiri was able to get away and she was right behind Nadeline. The feeling of relief overtook him. [b]“You good-for-nothing shit!” [/b]Ixion said and then he got a call from his headpiece. ----- The forces of Archadia and Dalmasca were at each other’s heads, neither of them wavering. When one of their ships would be defeated, the other would lose one. It was a back and forth battle. From the Dreadnought Odin and the Royal Warship Valefor each in command of their respective empires, it would seem that neither side would even bust an inch. However, that was until one special ship came in to save the day. In the sky, the legendary ship Ifrit had came in to save the day. Shooting off very powerful beams of plasma and magick, it would seem that the Archadian forces were being pushed back. Within the Valefor, Wesley couldn’t believe his eyes, but then again, Jaakuan did promise he would help. Wesley was surprised though. He thought that Jaakuna would have taken the chance to flee, but maybe he was wrong about that guy. [b]“Okay men, don’t let up. Back up the Ifrit.” [/b]He ordered. The orders were met with absolute unison and loyalty. The fleet of the Royal Army was pushing forward and the Archadian Empire, especially Savayna were getting nervous. Aboard the Odin, Savayna was incredibly nervous. She was so nervous that she was pacing around. She couldn’t believe that the Ifrit was actually coming to save the day for Dalmasca. To think that one of their best ships that was in Archadia’s control was being used against them. This truly was a bad situation for the empire to be in. [b]“Dammit, what are we going to do? Judge Ixion will surely have my head for this.” [/b]Savayna said as she stood in the cockpit, just watching as half of their fleet was being taken down. The Ifrit was the sole reason that Dalmasca was able to have a fighting chance. The ship itself was firing and firing, moving at speeds that no ship could ever hope to reach. And yet, when Wesley would see, he had a funny feeling. [b]“Patch me through to the Ifirit.” [/b]Wesley ordered one of his men in the cockpit of the Valefor. [b]“Yes sir!”[/b] The man replied as a comm link was patched through. [b]“Jaakuna are you there?” [/b]Wesley asked. Jaakuna was not there, but Iris was. [b]“Master Jaakuna is busy at the moment.” [/b]Iris responded. Wesley was intrigued, but very confused. [b]“Ah okay, and pray tell, who is it I am currently speaking to?”[/b] Wesley asked. Iris responded. [b]“I am Iris, the ship Ifrit’s AI.” [/b] [I]An AI huh? That’s truly wondrous.[/I] Wesley truly was astonished that such a thing existed in the world. Archadia might be the spawn of the devil, but they truly are visionaries in technology. “I see, and where would Jaakuna be now?” He asked. [b]“Master Jaakuna, Lady Emiri, and Lady Nadeline are currently in the Royal Palace.”[/b] Iris responded. Wesley’s eyes widened. He didn’t know what to think, but he knew his business couldn’t be dealt with here. He had to go to the palace. So, without a moments notice, he rushed to the beaming station where it would automatically take him to a beaming station over in the royal palace. Within seconds he was teleported into the palce and he was just a few minutes away from the throne room. He heard voices, so he crept up and listened in. ----- As Jaakuna laid flat on the ground, static electricity showing all around his body, Even worse, blood seemed to be pouring out of the deep gash in his shoulder. Jaakuna was not in a good shape, not at all. Meanwhile, Ixion got a call. [b]“Yes, what is it?”[/b] [b]“Judge Ixion, you have to leave! We are losing and if we don’t get you real soon, I’m afraid you will be left behind!”[/b] Savayna said. [b]“I understand. I will be there shortly”[/b] He said closing out of the call. He looked down at Jaakuna and then to the two ladies. “It’s a shame that we couldn’t continue this, but I must depart. We will meet again.” He said as in a flash, he disappeared. When the Judge left, the prince came in , hearing almost everything, but he still didn’t know what happened. He walked in and from across the room, he saw his father dead on the throne. [b]“FATHER!!!” [/b]His yell would come to a surprise to the three in the room. Wesley dropped to his knees as he would start to sob.
