Back to the present. Yin is ahead of Sapphire whose trying to keep up with his older brother. Yin, smirks and looks back at Sapphire.
Winded already, pal!? I thought you said you could beat me! Yin, taunts him and Sapphire just laughs it off.
I-I am! I got you right where I want ya and you haven't noticed it yet! Sapphire roars out as he tries to close distance between him and Yin!
Hey don't push yourself to hard now! Yin warns him and then they both feel Scahatch reach out to the two of them telepathically.
Children, race over to Calios Nal instead. There's trouble up ahead. She said to them telepathically with her usual cool and composed tone.
What do you mean trouble? Sapphire asked and then they both see the trouble she warned them about. A tornado! No just 1 but 3 category 6 tornado's tearing a city to pieces!
It's a minor setback. It will be taken care of shortly. Now do as your both told and head to Calios Nal. She told them but Sapphire darts off to the scene anyway and Yin follows him.
That is why you failed, child. She said vaguely.
As Sapphire gets closer to the titanic tornado Yin catches up to him in a second and runs beside him. They both nod to each other and split up to save as many people as they can. Yin zooms in and out dozens of buildings, vehicles and areas like parks, carrying a few of civilians in his arms and dropping them off right next to a under ground bunker meant to shelter civilians from natural disasters. Sapphire is doing but at much slower and clumsier pace. He's running on a collapsing high way and rescues a small family and there dog who were trying to run away from the tornado like the dozens of other civilians that Sapphire and Yin are saving.
He Carry's all of them in his small arms and shoulders as he tries to run to the nearest bunker so he can drop them off! But he's getting more exhausted by the second but he has to keep going cause one of the tornado's is right behind him! It tears the road behind him apart and sucks up the debris left behind! Sapphire pants heavily, he's getting slower which means the tornado is closing into him even faster! The force of the powerful almost sent him flying into the force of nature! He and the civilians he's carrying scream out together!
Ah, crap, Bro! Yin says as he just dropped off another group of civilians numbering by the dozens next to a bunker! He runs off to try and save Sapphire who's flailing his arms and legs in the air! Everything's slowing down in his point of view. He's scared, terrified. Why wouldn't he be? He's 5 year old, he's just young child. A child who just wants to know 3 things more then anything. Who was his mother? What was she like and where is she?
He never knew her. He never saw her. He wanted to know everything about her. Or at least something so days ago he asked Scahatch. She was sitting on a seat over in stone balcony looking over one of the moons. Sapphire pulled open one of the curtains covering the balcony's doors. As usual he can only see her silhouette because of the moon's shine.
Aunt Scahatch? He called out to her nervously.
Your suppose to be in bed. What is it child? She asked with her back face towards him. Sapphire twiddles his thumbs together for few seconds and then finally speaks out.
Do you know anything about, Mom? He asked and Scahatch sighs reluctantly in response.
Child, you know well that subject is a sensitive matter. She said to him.
Where is she? Why can't I see her? Why won't you are or Dad say anything about her!? Please tell something! He asked her no demanded her. She turns her head back to him, her cold glowing golden eyes piercing into him but he won't stand down and stares right back at her although with small tears in his eyes. Scahatch sighs with a clear sense of guilt in her face. She turns her chair towards him.
My Apologies, child. Like I said before your mother is.... A sensitive to me and especially your father. I can't tell you where is she, why can't you see her because you aren't for that answer which only your father has any real right to do. But what I can tell you is that, she was a hero. No, A saint who would help those that never asked for her aid. A warrior powerful enough to be called my sister. But above all she believed in one simple thing, "Doing the right thing".
Those words alone awoken something in Sapphire as he's inside the tornado as For the first time ever his cape came to life with Blue Flames and violet petals. Yin gasp as he sees Sapphire dart out of the tornado from the air! Dozens of floating debris in the air the size of houses where in his way, but he flys through them all leaving a streak of blue light! The roads beneath suddenly rocket up to him! He lets out a war cry as his cape stretches out even more fires dozens of Violet construct missiles destroying the obstacles in a blaze of blue flame glory!
He finally reaches one of the bunkers, drops civilians and they ran inside! But before the doors could even start closing 2 of the tornados were on them! Sapphire then lets another war cry as he made his cape form a dome construct around the bunker shielding from the powerful tornado's! But the dome was slowly shattering bit by bit! Sapphire gritting his teeth together let's another battle cry as he tries to keep it up but he was slowly blacking out!
Yin, puts his arms out to tornado's as he tries to make dissipate by draining them. The winds from one of tornado's get sucked into Yin's hands and body but before he could drain it completely a blinding platinum light consumes the entire city!
But minutes later the tornado's were gone! The city was in ruins but the light seemed to put and end to the natural event. Yin rushed ran over to Sapphire and sees Scahatch kneeling down next to Sapphire who was laying on the ground dazed.
Like I said before children. I was dealing with it. She said. No patience, Sapphire. That is why you failed. She scowled him and Sapphire losses conscious shortly afterwards.
Moments later he regained consciousness. He was in some sort of tent laying down on some sort of bed. He sees Yin besides him, who smiles at him.
What a relief! I was worried there for a minute. How you feel? Yin asked him. Sapphire sits up and sees that he's in a medical tent. 10 ft tall armored knights guard the entrance but his attention is towards the recasted city and the wounded civilians walking around. How does he feel?
That I could have done better. That I could have done more. He answers Yin with sadness in his red eyes.
We return to the present. The news channel now showing that tornado is gone and civilians casualties were minimize thanks to the military of Mythos, and Fable powered warriors that were there. Sapphire sighs which makes Yin raise and eye brow. He turns his head back at the television and back at Sapphire.
So what are we gonna do? Hmm? Yin asked him and Sapphire looks at both of his hands for a moment and then clenches them tightly and then he stands up.
Help people. Sapphire said and walks out of the Caffe and Yin follows him with a proud smirk. But on a massive screen floating high up in the middle of time circle is a news man.
Welcome back people. Diplomacy between our Kingdom and Zodiac Blood is at its breaking point. As you may Zodiac Blood is a governmental power and independent nation that is founded and made of Zodiac's. It rivals the might of the Heirs and the Divine Pantheons. It's primary goal is to bring peace and unity to the Zodiac race and there nation, Zapech is indeed a paradise for all Zodiac's.
But there other goal is to wipe out the tyrannical human race and for months, The Prime Heir, Nero who is our glorious ruler has been trying to plead too them to turn away from this bloody and vengeful crusade. Will be showing you live footage of the negotiations. Your on, Pat.
So how about that then, bro? Yin asked him and Sapphire sighs as he looks up at the image of Nero who's 12 feet tall and wear's a formal and majestic suit of gold armor fitting for the Prime Heir. Off in the distance the two have no idea that they are being watched. Two, individual's wearing futuristic black tiger colored theme armor are watching over Sapphire and Yin from high a top Building. A man and a girl. The man nods to the woman and she's presses her finger on the side of her helmet.
Sapphire looks away, and for a second a flash back accord where he's in a pitch black Rome and where he's the only source of light in it. He's glowing Royal Blue hair and white cloths are covered with…. Blood… Drenched in it… He whimpers and whales as he's holding a human body tightly. The body… It to was drenched with blood…
Yin snapped his fingers to get Sapphire's attention.
Bro, you did everything you could back there. Remember that. Yin reassured him but Sapphire looks away from him.
(Everything I could… Just Wasn't enough…)
Y-You heard what they said, things are as bad enough already with the Zodiac's. I-If we get in the middle of things w-well just make things… Worse. Besides Dads, got it covered. And Form what I can remember, Raurua's there too. W-Wait-! Raurua's there! Sapphire said and runs off into the crowd with panic and concern for his friend.
Yin sighs dashes over to Sapphire side. Yin grabs onto Sapphire should and race off towards where the negotiations where being held. The woman presses her finger on the side of her helmet again.
We're pursuing the targets and we will await the signal as planned, Grand Zodiac. Praise be the Heirs… And Inanna. The two walk backwards into a black and white portal and the portal soon vanishes…
