Enter The Sandman

Enter Kristy

"Great!  More words I never heard of!  What, is that one of those 'curse words' you talked about last time?  No, forget that question, get me back to consciousness, now!" I demand.

"Big pimpin', I thought I told you not to talk to me like that" The Sandman eerily says as he slowly walks towards me.  I slowly walk back at the same pace trying avoid him from getting close to me.

"I still don't trust you... so just stay over there" I try to say with an intimidating voice.

"Tryin' to intimidate me, kid?  Heh... whatever.  I can see why you won't trust me, a total stranger appears in your mind and tells you all these exciting things.  At least that's what I've heard from you."

"Never mind this mess, just tell me what you needed to tell me so I can get out of here!"

"Oh yeah, that.  Well first thing, these assassin's that we are dealing with... there is a bit more to it than that.  I know exactly the type of people who would kidnap this kid, though I was never sure why.  First off, there is the low-rank sergeant named Cyrus for this team.  He does all the small dirty work, and he was probably involved in the kidnapping.  There is also another sergeant named Yein, who probably helped Cyrus.  There is a lieutenant named Bob, dumb name I know, who commands the two sergeants, obviously.  Then there is their commander, who is the lead of this operation.  I don't know much about the small-fries, since I've never seen them in combat, however I know all about the commander's special armor ability.  It's troublesome really... but he is able to summon giant black blades, almost as if they were the shapes of stretched out triangles, that are all covered by the Red Lightning Effect.  In other words, it's similar to us summoning sand, only his can kill us in one hit.  Did I mention the blades are able to hover?  And he can summon probably over a thousand at a time.  He really is a pain to deal with, but I manged to defeat him back in the war.  Of course after the war, I teamed up with the assassins in order to deal with the Elemental Academy, which is how I know all this."

"And you say you weren't evil" I say with a smug face while looking away from the Sandman.

He chuckles at me.  

"Is this all you had to say?  Cause I really need to get back now!"

"Eh, there was one more thing... but I forgot... eh, whatever.  Just go on, i'll send an impulse through your beta so I can wake you up."

"Then hurry u-" 

I suddenly wake up, taking a huge breath as if I was coming back from the dead.

"Kiruh! Are you okay!?" Brima suddenly calls out to me while kneeling by my side.

As I slowly recover from dizziness, I eventually manage to say "Ah, um yeah, I just.... felt dehydrated as all..."

"We aren't stupid Kiruh... something terminated your Beta for a brief second, knocking you unconscious.  You showed no signs of dehydration.  I'm assuming The Sandman felt the need to say something to you?" Adam says from the back of the vehicle, with his scythe laying beside him and with his arms crossed.

"Can you ever be tricked?" I say with a widely disappointed face.

"Apparently yes, by assassins."

Suddenly I look upwards, and notice I was laying in Rina's lap.  She was looking down at me with a smile.

I pass out again.

--An hour later--

I slowly start to wake up, and notice that the vehicle has stopped moving.
