Chapter XIX - Kalm's Return
Yal had finally revived, it had been about six hours of walking for the two of them.  She insisted on continuing on foot.  While walking, Lasy explained the situation, and eventually they came outside, to another big desert-area.  This one had a hole of quicksand in the center.  Kalm was in the center of it.
Kalm shouted, "Lasy! Over here!"


Lasy ran over to him and pulled him out, once they were out of the quicksand Kalm looked at her, pointing his left arm at her, and a green orb shot out at her, exploding upon impact upon her stomach.  She fell back onto the ground, severely injured.  The air around Kalm now became distorted, and he slowly turned into Red.  He said, "I am Red, Class S Knight, and I will kill you all!"


Yal said, "Uh, dont like the sound of that," and drew a dagger.

Red said, "My battle isnt with you two, but you seem to be interfering, so I will destroy you,"
Yal drew another dagger and said, "Well, my name's Yal, nice to meet you, you dont happen to have anything worth stealing do you?" then Red engaged his energy-blade and charged her.  Yal raised her right arm, barely evading his charge, then replied, "Guess not," and elbowed him three times on the back, then stabbed a dagger into his armor.

Sparks emitted from where she stabbed the knife.  Red said, "Well, I will just handle this the fast way," then he pressed a button and accessed his microphone, "Black, do it," then there was a loud rumbling sound.

Yal looked around, "What the hell?" then the roof caved-in on Yal and Lasy, covering them both in rocks.

Red said, "So sorry, but I have to go see Kalm, and kill him too, enjoy your nap," then Red walked off to the right, walking down a hill made of sand. 

A few moments later, Saras walked in, Red was well out of sight by now.  She said, "I am Saras, victim of time, and second to none!" and drew her sword, slashing the rocks ontop of Lasy and Yal with an overhead slash.  They broke instantly.  Saras then pointed her sword at them and said, "Raise Energy B!" and healed their wounds.  Then she went after Red.  Yal and Lasy were still uncounscious.  A few hours later they awoke.  Lasy and Yal were both confused how the rocks were smashed, and their wounds were healed, but they counted it as a blessing.


Yal said, "Lets go after him,"
Lasy said, "But we dont know where he went,"

Yal said, "Too bad, we're going after him anyway, I'm going to hunt him down and snap his scrawny neck,"

Then a voice from shadows said, "Tsk tsk tsk, you shouldnt talk about Mr. Red that way!" and Commander Risha walked out.

Lasy said, "Who are you?"

Risha said, "Perhaps your friend, perhaps your enemy, either way, I am after Mr. Red, but you cannot catch him, he is too fast, and I am even faster!" and she ran down the hill that Red went down.

Yal said, "After her!" Lasy nodded, and the two of them ran after her, running as fast as they could, but as soon as they were on the hill, they found it very steep and they were skidding down it extremely fast.  Yal said, "Im going to handle this!" and kept her eyes on Risha, who was way ahead of them.  She started tossing back pillars of flame at them.  Yal held her arm out and the flame pillars were absorbed into her gems.  Then while running she tossed out three Earth Dragons at Risha, none one of them hit her though.  Then the two of them had to jump over quicksand pits, while continuing to run.  Yal was managing to gain on Risha, while avoiding all sorts of obstacles down this hill!  Then Risha warped for no apparent reason to Yal, but it was to avoid a sand tornado!  Yal just held out her arms again, and absorbed it, then shot out a gigantic Earth Dragon, shooting it at Risha, then she was hit, and skidded down the hill, and Yal got ahead of her, reaching the bottom.  Risha soon came down, and then Lasy was behind her. 

Risha said, "Oh, oh, what a nice performance, we will have to try it again sometime, your reward is some information, your too late for your friend, Mr. Red is already there,"

Yal said, "I will still wring his neck, nobody does that to me,"

Lasy was breathing heavily, out of breath.  Then they dashed quickly in front of them, to find a large opening, with a glowing circular platform in the center.  A teleporter?  They stepped inside.  Then they were in the graveyard, but all the graves were destroyed besides the temple Karen was resting in.  Then Kalm and Saras were facing a gigantic flying robot, firing missiles down at them.  Lasy said, "We have to help, fast!"  Lasy and Yal came up and said, "Hey, who's your friend?"

Kalm said, "Not sure, but we got problems right now?"

Yal's eyes narrowed and she screamed in anger, leaping up at it, even though it had to be hundreds of feet up in the air.

Lasy shouted, "Yal!"

Kalm looked over at Lasy and said, "Who's YOUR friend?"

Lasy stared back and said, "Whatever happened to bigger problems?"

Kalm said, "Right," and his veins glew purple, and he shot out a blue electric arc at the machine, stunning it for a moment.  Kalm said, "That'll give your friend a moment to do whatever she's going to do,"

Yal was soon on the glass of the machine, and stomped it out with her foot.  She said, "Get the hell out of there!" and pulled the pilot out to find it wasnt Red!  It was a new robot!  A pink one!  She was the same height as Red, had no visible cannons or blade-arms, but she had long straight blonde hair coming out of the back of her helmet.  She said, "I am Pink, Class A Knight!  I will turn you into the stuffed animal!"

Yal said, "Where is Red?"

Pink said, "Stuffed animal!"

Yal slammed her fist into Pink, spinning her in mid-air and face down onto the back of the machine.  Yal said, "Red!  Where is he?!" Pink kicked Yal in the stomach while on the ground, then got back up.  Yal said, "Stop messing around with me," and drew out her dagger, stabbing it into Pink's chest.  Yal said, "Ill rip you to shreds if you dont tell me where he is!"

Pink said, "Stuffed..animal?"

Yal said, "Im through with you..." then walked to the back of the machine, holding Pink over the engine rockets.

Kalm looked up at her and said, "What is she doing up there?"

Lasy realized what she was doing and said, "Being insane..."

Yal threw her knife into the control booth, aiming for the controls.  It stuck into one of them, as planned, and the machine pointed upside-down, facing directly at Lasy, Kalm, and Saras.   Pink was facing directly up in the air now, on the engines, and Yal was facing to the side.  She grabbed her other dagger and threw it into the control booth, activating the engines, burning Pink, sending her flying sky-high, and the machine started flying towards the ground.  Yal leaped off. 

Kalm said, "Run!"

Lasy repeated, "Run, run now!" and all three of them ran in seperate directions, each diving at the end of their jump.  The machine crashed where they were and made a gigantic explosion.  Then the four of them re-gathered and went to check on Karen, they found her in a prayer-stance, but in a comatose state..
