Separated

Something was wrong. Every sense within him tingled that there was danger and he needed to come out of his meditation right now. He snapped his eyes open. Looking down, he saw Shiorei and… his lips twisted into a frown and his brows crinkled inwardly. 'Yukino?' What was she doing there with one of Wakui's servants? He snapped himself awake, and didn't want to dwell on the matter, at least now while his mind screamed at him to dodge. He flipped right side up, and scrambled up right in the tree.

Running across trees was no arduous task for Thunder, and he was soon leaping from tree to tree, running along their branches, and swinging his way toward trees farther apart. He could not use his electrokinesis here in self defense, not when the woods were so very dry. One spark and the whole forest would go up. No. He needed to get some leeway between them and him, and find a safer spot to which engage his power. Still, the idea of Yukino being with Shiorei bothered him immensely. What was she doing with her? 'I have the feeling Wakui is behind this…'.

Shiorei narrowed her eyes the moment Thunder took off running into the trees. Yukina was already carrying out phase one of the plan. They had been warned that Thunder could move through trees like a monkey, a very swift one at that. Determined to fulfill her master's wishes, she formed ice shards four inches thick and launched them at Thunder. The shards traveled very quickly, fueled by the freezing temperature that Yukina fused, zipping through branches until they struck the back of Thunder's legs. He was shivering, slowly down.

The moment the shards struck him, she heard him cry out, and fall to the ground. This was it. She moved in. He was getting up, and she could see the red glow of his aura, and the strange symbol flashing in his forehead. He was healing himself. At the same time, the sky turned dark suddenly and her hairs on her arms raised. The electrical field around them was activating, lightning above crackled. They had to act now. She launched an icy form of chains at him, tightly wrapping them around his ankles.

Thunder growled, unable to move at all. His heart pounded in his chest. Despite trying to struggle, he could not break off the ice and free his arms and legs. And now, he couldn't use his power suddenly. It dawned on him quickly. The necklace! There was only one thing he could do. Shout for help. The moment he went to though, a strange pulling sensation surrounded his insides, and suddenly he was on some type of small cruise ship. He stiffened. No!

What were they thinking? He struggled more, twisting and turning his body, and managing to jump up and down. Pain lanced through his limbs and tore at his muscles, but he didn't care. Not this time. He had to escape, somehow. He nearly pulled Shiorei with him, but then he suddenly stopped when his eyes caught sight of him. He narrowed his eyes, thinking only one word. 'Bastard.'

Thunder's eyes darted over the room, taking quick note of everything quickly, except the hidden cameras. The room was small, but he'd have room to move about. He intently studied the air duct, wondering where it might lead to. For now, he was too exhausted and very cold to even deal with trying to escape. Somehow he'd have to find a way to reach others, maybe through telepathy. 'Should have done that to begin with,' he bitterly thought.

He walked further into the room, staring down at the bed with its simplicity. There was one blanket and one pillow. He snorted and turned away from it. No escape, Yukino said. He seethed. Somehow he'd find a way out. Not even Wakui could hold him for very long. He refused to even speak to Yukino, now deciding to ignore her very presence. For now, he'd rest and then form a plan. It was all he could do.
