Chapter 18: A Mission of Surprises

It was the day we are supposed to get to our destination. "Hey Sea! How far are we now?! Oh about 2 hours away!" "OK good. Kairi! Come here for a second!" "Yeah, Kai what is it?" "I need to talk to you in my room please." So, she followed me into my room.

"OK. I know how you feel about Pisces. I know that look well. I am engaged to my girlfriend Rin now." "W-well I like the man." Said Kairi. "No you love him. I have an idea. When everything is over, and we save everyone, I have a plan. Then you can stop goo goo eyes on him." "Hehe. Its that bad huh?" "Oh its terrible." "All right. I'll try my best not to as you say goo goo eyes him." "Thank You." So we walked out of the room and waited until we got there.

We finally made it to our destination. "Ok. Sea? I need you and the crew to stay here in case we need to run out of here. If I need you I've got the button ok?" "All right but be careful Kai. I don't want you getting hurt too bad. Plus Kairi is coming with us aren't you?" "Well you never said, but yeah I can. Ok bye brother." "Take care of Kai and Pisces for me ok?" "Yes brother. See ya." So we were off to sneak inside the building.

"OK here's the plan." I whispered. "You two stay here, when I spot them, I will give you a signal. I will do a seagull call. If it sounds horrible at least you will know its me as well or I might do good who knows. Kairi keep him save." "I will." "Hey Kai. Be careful. It could be dangerous." "Yeah I know Pieces I will try." So I did my sneaking.

I peeked through several doors until I found them. "Dammit. They don't look so good." I finally did my seagull call which wasn't as bad as I thought. I heard steps thinking I was in trouble but it was just Pisces and Kairi. "You guys scared the crap out of me. Pisces they don't look so good. Take a look are they going to be ok?" "Shit! They are this bad already. I'm afraid if they don't get water soon, they won't last the night." "We have to get this door open somehow." I said. "Leave that to me." Said Pisces. He grabbed the door handle and broke it off with his strength. "Damn! Is that part of being what you are?" "Yeah well when you are part Royal or Royal blood at all, you get strength. I'll tell you about it when we get back." "Hey Etan. Ethan!" Pisces whispered louder. "Etan barely had the energy to move. "Pisces. What are you doing here?" said Etan. "I'm here to get you guys to water." Pisces broke the chains on them I pushed the button for Sea and told him to bring 2 others. Then sea finally came and saw the situation.

I heard people coming to I said, "You guys go. I will let myself be captured. Sea I'm sure you and the others will come up with a good plan to rescue me." "You Idiot! Just don't die ok?!" Said Pisces. "I agree with Pisces. Its reckless. If it will help his family then so be it. We will be in the get you out as soon a possible." "OK Hurry."

Everyone was able to get on the ship just fine. I pretended to be knocked out. One of the men said "Lets take him to the boss. I'm sure he can be useful." "Yeah your right." Said another man. So they dragged me into a strange office.

"Hey boss!" The boss came out and said, "What is it now? How are the water people doing?" "Oh about them, they escaped." "What?! They escaped! How! They shouldn't have had the energy!" "Well we found this kid near the cell. I don't think it's a coincidence." The boss I'm sure looked my way and said, "Yes. That would explain everything. They can do whatever. Hand me the kid and get out of here. Me and the kid have business." "Yes sir." Said them men and went back on patrol.

The boss put me on what I am assuming a soft bed. I really did end up tired so I fell asleep.

I don't know how long it had been, but I started waking up. "Hmm. Ow! That hurt." I pretended to have hurt my head. "Kai are you ok?" said the boss. The guy looked like dad and I thought I was imagining it. I shook my head thinking I was seeing things. I was so shocked I thought of something. I would pretend to have lost my memory. I didn't say anything at first and he gave me some time to collect myself. "Kai? Is that my name?" "Kai are you ok? Did you hit your head so hard you got amnesia?" "I-I guess so. If I don't even know my name or who I am. You do however look familiar. I just don't know who you are." "Oh I'm your dad. I raised you since you were 5. You have a brother Elias' and a fiancé Rin. Hang on let me get your mother. Don't go anywhere." "Y-yeah." So I laid there for a bit and waited.

Dad came back with mom and told her the situation. "Oh Kai. I'm so sorry this happened to you. I'm your mom." I pretended to looked confused. 'Good. Looks like they are buying it.' I said in my head. "What is the last thing you remember?" Said Dad. "I was going somewhere on a ship. I don't know to where? Maybe it was here? What am I even doing here? Arg! My head." I said. "Lets get a doctor dear. We need to make sure he is going to be ok." "NO. Please don't. I will be fine. This happened before. At least I think it has. I don't remember." "We will hold off for now, but if your still in pain by tomorrow we will call him ok?" "Yes sir." So I laid down to rest some more.

The next morning, I really wasn't feeling well. I still had my memories, but my head started to hurt. I felt like I had a fever. I saw dad come in. He saw I didn't look too good. "I'm sorry Kai. This isn't good. I have to get the doctor." So dad ran to get one.

When dad got back, I looked at who he brought in. I looked and saw it was someone that is supposed to be dead. 'No. It can't be!' I said in my head. I tried to back away in fright but I was pinned down. "I need to give him this shot to cool his fever down." Said the doctor. So she gave me the shot and I grew tired.

"Good. He's asleep." Said Dad. "We know he really doesn't have Amnesia. We are playing his game." Said mom. "He used to play this game with us when he wanted to get away with something. Although we would always test it out just to be sure." "How would you test it out?" Said the Phoenix girl. "Well, we would take away something precious to him among other things." "Elektra, we need to talk now that you have seen him." Said Dad. "Yes sir." So she followed him into his office.

"Elektra. You have a choice here. You have the choice to stay here with us, or you can go back to town. You would have to stay with some friends of mine to protect you though. Kai is engaged to Rin." "Yeah I know. I have been hearing rumors that he had. My feelings won't change for him. The least I can do is go back and work with him and Cliff." "We aren't going to let him go anytime soon, I am sure his friends are going to sneak in here and save him. I want you to be there when they do. Until then be a doctor ok? We thank you for your hard work. Oh and remember not to tell anyone about our job ok?" "Yes sir. Thank you for everything." "Sure." So she was off to do her job.

I was just waking up. "Woah. I feel incredibly better." I said not knowing anyone was listening. "So do you remember anything yet?" said Elektra. "No not so much. I just wish I knew what I am doing here though." "I'm sure when you see your friends again you will remember. Until then, take this. It should help with the headaches." So I took the pill and said, "You know don't you? I'm sure they know as well." "Know what Kai?" "Know I'm faking my Amnesia." "Yes we do. Your parents told me you played that game with them when you pretended too." "Yeah. That was not fun at all. After mom and dad took my most precious thing away, I never did it again." "Oh and what was it?" "They told me they were the ones who killed you. How? How are you here?" "Your mom and dad know about the rescue plans with your friends. I will be going with you. Don't worry your parents set something up." "Well that's good. Sea would be a good one to stay with." "Yeah that is one he suggested." "He is the one that got me here. He has pink hair. With a scar on his eye." "Ok then. Thanks Kai. I really missed you." So we hugged. Elektra was close enough to kiss me but I said, "I can't. I have a fiancé now." "Yeah I know. Sorry." "Its fine. Its been a few years." So we talked about the good old times when we were younger.

"OK everyone know the plan now?! Lets do it!" Said Sea.
