Chapter 16 - Trouble

They leave Dragonia and head back to Seadrake since it was turning night but they plan to head to the far east to Firedrake a small remote town not under the Empire they were getting there by boat but it leaves the next morning. Siri was sitting by the window.

"Hey, Siri you, okay?" asked Jecht.

"I don't know," said Siri. "I don't what I should do next I have no one left to go to."

"That nonsense you have me now and I don't plan to go anywhere without you." said Jecht.

"You won't leave me?" asked Siri.

"no way kid you stuck with me and once this war is over your free to do what you want," said Jecht.

"That would be nice," said Siri.

Jecht was laying down and falls asleep. He finds himself in the dark room in front of the Platinum Dragon.

"Ancestor," said Jecht.

"How was your travel to Dragonia? I had to step in when those evil sprits attacked you," said The Platinum Dragon.

"Thank you, Ancestor. I did not know that was going to happen," said Jecht.

"Indeed, I worried a bit," said Platinum Dragon.

"So, we plan to go to the other side continent to avoid the expedition," said Jecht.

"Excellent, I hope it goes well my kin," said Platinum Dragon.

"Hey, I was wondering where you there with Bahamut," said Jecht.

"Yes, my kin I sadly was a part of the genocide of Dragonia," said Platinum Dragon.

"I'm sorry to hear that," said Jecht.

"It's alright my kin I can live on through you," said Platinum Dragon.

The next day they were on a ship heading to Firedrake. Jecht was taking a nap. He wakes up to noise outside. Jecht sees Claire at the window.

"What going on?" asked Jecht.

"We got trouble the Sky Knight are on board," said Claire.

"Okay, go and find Siri and hide I will stall them," said Jecht. They separate and Jecht heads outside.

He watches the Sky Knights board with Elena.

"Damn it," thinks Jecht. They look above till they surround Jecht as they see he is a Descendant.

"What do we have here?" questioned Elena.

"Just a traveler," said Jecht.

"But you are just like I," said Elena. "you are a rare breed you will come back with us."

"Sorry but I don't want to go to the Empire," said Jecht.

"Sorry, but we ain't asking you to come nicely," said Elena.

"I see," said Jecht who reach for his sword. Then a Sky Knight comes from inside the ship.

"Commander, we found one of Siegfried's Servants and the Dragon," said The Sky Knight.

"I see," said Elena. "Fairmount has betrayed the Empire. I knew it all this time."

"I can't let you take Siri," said Jecht as he draws his sword and attack the Sky Knights around him. The Sky Knight that has Siri comes up and hands her to Elena.

"JECHT!" yelled Siri.

"LET HER GO!" yelled Jecht going towards them.

"I will meet you all in the capital. take care of him," said Elena. She grabs Siri with her left hand and grabs something in her armor a small purple crystal and her and Siri teleport somewhere.

"Damn it," said Jecht as he finishes them off. Claire comes out.

"This isn't good," said Claire. "She used a warp crystal." Jecht then grabs one of the Sky Knights on the ground.

"Alright, pal you're going to give us a ride on that airship of yours," said Jecht. Claire then calls Siegfried.

Siegfried was in the capital still when he gets the call from Cronus and Luna.

"Claire, what is your status?" asked Siegfried.

"Lord Siegfried, Siri was captured by Elena she use a warp crystal to get back to the palace," said Claire.

"I see then I must use my fail-safe plan then. I see and Jecht when you get back," said Siegfried. He ends his call and gets his sword out in his right hand.

"What the plan?" asked Cronus.

"We begin our take over of then the Empire will fall now," said Siegfried.
