Lasta Coop The Five Fairy Orbs Part Five

 The Journey To Atlantis

They soon appeared at a doc. Lasta looked to Salynara as she took out another map. She then looked at a ship. It was made of a light shade of wood and had cream sails like ice cream. She then looked at the doc.

"We need to get on that ship." 

They soon walk to the line, leading to the ship.

"Don't we need tickets?" Lasta asked.

"Not for that ship." She said as the line went on. They had to wait for a while before they walked onto the deck. They soon find a place to sit and they set off.

As they sailed Lasta felt sleepy and found it difficult to resist the embrace of slumber. She, not wanting to get hurt, tried to resist but her eyelids dropped. She blinked a few times before the wave of tiredness overcame her and she fell asleep.

The next moment she was woken up by a slap. She soon spotted the knife and dodged out of the way

She looked up to see a man with a sunburnt face and brown eyes. She then saw the jolly Roger on his hat and knew what this man was.

She looked at Salynara and saw her fighting and then threw a punch at his loins. He let out a cry as he threw his hands to her and rained down two punches. She went to throw a punch at his throat. Yet he caught her wrist. Her eyes just managed to see the punch before it hit her. She felt momentarily stunned and dazed. Yet she could not have a moment to recover for she felt another punch and another and another. Yet the fourth time she was able to dodge. Only for the pirate to thrust his knee into her gut. With one hand she caught it and thrust her forehead into hot stomach.

Suddenly he let go and she was able to hit him in the loins again and again and again then up into the stomach. She returned to punch him again and again and did not stop even when he was blue in the face. She continued punching the stomach. Soon the pirate started to sweat and dived out of the way of the last punch. He clutched his stomach and let out a projectile of vomit the colour of rum and cherry. She used this to her advantage to hit him in the back of his neck. Then his body burst into flames.

Then Lasta looked for more pirates. She took the dagger of the dead pirate and looked for the next one. Yet she soon felt a blade press against her chin.

"Drop it." She heard from behind.

She looked back to see that she was looking at the very eyes of the captain of the pirates!

She felt the blood trickle down as he pressed the blade in deeper. She, knowing that she had no other options, dropped the blade. He smiled as she had to take a step back. She felt a hand on her shoulder and gripped her hard. She could do nothing as she felt it become harder and harder, causing her to cry out once it had become painful. Yet he continued. She let out a scream as she felt her body rise. He put away the blade, she swung her feet back, hoping that they would hit something and it did. She dropped to her feet. She then twisted and drew herself up and punched the captain right in his loins.

"Why you!" 

She hit him in the stomach and then the throat. She felt him grip her by the neck. She was soon choking as he lifted her. She hit him in the wrist again and again yet it did nothing! She soon kicked almost instinctively. Yet she knew that the only hope is if she kicked higher. She felt him walk back with her. Yet she could see the ship in the corner of her eye. 

He wants to take me away from here! She concluded. At this, she felt a moment where she relaxed until another thought that came to mind. I let them take me away then, Salynara and Otb will be mad at me and they will hurt me.

At this she thrust the back of her head into his throat. He fell and she spun and thrust a kick into his loins again and again. She did it until foam came out of his mouth. At this she thrust her fist into his throat again and again until he passed out.

She stood there, panting as Salynara and Otb reached her. She suddenly felt ill as she dived to the bags and checked all that was in it. She let out a sigh at seeing that nothing was taken. 

"Did you take these down?" Otb asked.

She smiled and nodded, yet she felt too tired to speak.

"Did they take anything?"

She shook her head.

"What were they after anyway?" 

"Why don't you ask them when they wake up?" 

She nodded and waited for one of them to wake. The moment he looked at Salynara with absolute terror.

"Tell me, as you did not take anything from me, what were you after?"

His eyes rested upon Lasta.

"Why did you want to take the girl?"

"We were paid."

"By who?"

"Don't know. He wanted us to collect her and give her over to him. He wore a hood so we didn't see a face."

"And how were you going to do that?"

"Don't know. He told us that he would pick her up the moment we had her away from you."

Salynara frowned with an angry glare.

"And what was his plan for her?"

"Dunno. Kill her, I guess."

"Why?"

He was about to open his mouth to speak but Salynara slit his throat. Sye then went on to throw the rest overboard.

Lasta would have asked that was all about it she wasn't far too afraid to. So she looked for something to focus her mind upon. That was when she saw a spire of white. She then saw tubes flying in the sky. Next she saw the city clothed in white. That was in the shape of multiple circles going in the larger outer circles.

"Is that Atlantis?"

"Yes."

"What a beautiful place."

"Yes, yes it is!"
