I was stunned.
"The Sky Folk killed all your people?" I asked in horror, but Sakura shook her head no.
"Not all of them, the ccat ca and did that after, but this was also three hundred years ago, and before Rai Cait's ti. After that happened, the neighboring countries banded together and overthrew the corrupt emperor at the ti. They found out that Emperor Cris and all the higher ups had all been infected by Lichtar from one of the Fallen heroes who wanted control of this mountain," Sakura explained.
Three hundred years? Just how old was this kitten?
"So then, you are in here because…?" I trailed off, leaving the question open.
"Because I couldn't let things go, but I also only found out about the Lichtar when Rai Cait sealed in here. I guess it was his last way to get back at for all the damage I had done. Just a way to remind that what I did ant nothing since it was no one's fault, but I believe that they are still working with the Sky Folk!" Sakura said, and I could start to feel the heat from her pink flas.
"Do you have proof? And how long have you been here? Things could have changed since then. I have only talked with one ccat, Kiliada, and he was one of Rai Cait's Eternal Guards, so I can't really give an opinion on it," I said, but then Sakura pulled away from my arms and turned from .
She had a thoughtful expression on her face as Sakura did, so I let her go. There was probably a lot on her mind, so I decided to let her think, and I reached out to Atom.
"You are okay?!" Atom's frantic thought ca rushing into my head as soon as I did.
"Yes, we are just talking right now, but we are going to go a bit deeper. I can't use any of my drones here, so I want to look ahead," I sent back, but this ti Thanos was the one that sent a thought.
"No! We can not get through the barrier! We can't help you!" Thanos whined.
"I will be fine; take Helaina and go back to wait with Kiliada, and I will be back soon, okay? The last bug has to be down here, so please do as I said," I told them.
"Yes, my Queen. I will get the boys moving," Tigra sent, and that made smile.
"What are you smiling about?" Sakura asked, and I opened my eyes to find her looking at curiously.
"I was just talking to my three Miniature Cat Dragons, asking them to bring my friend, Helaina, back to the area we had just co from," I explained.
"Why?" Sakura asked, and I walked up to her and took one of her hands.
"Because you and I are going to go for a walk. Have you ever been to the end of this tunnel before?" I asked, but Sakura shivered.
"No, but I had seen it when I was caught and glimpses of it since. There is a Mutated, three-headed cha-Hydra-Sect back there, but the barrier stops from going anywhere. When the barrier is down, the bug will be free, and it will be starving. The creature is immune to everything, is able to construct barriers, and regenerates at blinding speed, and was the main reason that I was caught," Sakura explained, and I nodded.
"Okay, good. Let's go, and deal with it then," I said and tried to pull Sakura with , but she wouldn't budge.
"Are you deaf?! First of all, it's immune to everything! Second is that it created the barrier that I am stuck in!" Sakura said, trying to pull back as I turned to look at her, and I rolled my eyes.
"You an the one I just walked into?" I asked in a tired-sounding voice.
"Yes! Exactly like… wait, how did you just walk into this? And was that you sending the tal Bees in here?" Sakura asked, and I nodded but then started to pull her again.
"Whatever the barrier is, I will figure out how to deal with it when we get to the outside of it. Then, if you are still too scared of the big tal bug, I will take care of it, okay? You can just hide at the entrance of the cave," I said to her, and Sakura threw my hand from hers and stomped forward past .
I smiled and then followed along with her. I guess I knew how I was going to get her to listen or do things now, hehe.
"I don't think you are as smart as you think you are, but if you can break this barrier and defeat the creature that captured , then I will ask to beco your wife. Though, I have very little faith that you will be able to do sothing like this, no matter how strong you are. Not even Rai Cait could break open one of the thirty barriers that were placed over ," Sakura explained as we walked.
"I thought that we already decided that I was stronger than Rai Cait? I think that it will be better for you just to wait and see. You should have a more positive outlook on things; it will help you out in the long run," I teased, and Sakura shot a look at .
"I have been stuck here for two hundred years, so excuse if I have trouble seeing the light at the end of the tunnel," Sakura said as she crossed her arms.
"I guess that just ans that we will have to adjust that then, I said, but then Sakura stopped.
"I can't go any farther than this; there is a wall here blocking ," Sakura said, and I walked past her.
I stepped out of the haze that I had grown accustod to, and then I turned to look at the barrier.
