The round, dark room had a blue tint to everything in it, including the people.
There were seventeen main supporters of Deep Blue's and right now they were all stood on top of a column. Seventeen half-columns were in a semi-circle
towards the back of the room and in the middle of this semi-circle Pai, Taruto and Kisshu were stood waiting to be spoken to.
The supporters themselves all wore a long cloak with a hood. Each cloak was in a dark blue colour and when they lifted off the hoods each supporter had
neon blue streaks in their hair just like Blue had had.
The middle column was tallest and on top of it was the now head of the supporters. Indigo.
"The three of you were sent to the promised planet with a mission."
The three in the centre nodded. "Yes." "Yes," "Yes..."
"The mission: to reclaim the Blue Planet and to help in Deep Blue's awakening. You also had to rid the planet of the vermin now living on its surface and
return Earth to its non-polluted state." The speakers voice rose. "And what happens when you return? You bring back no planet, just the Mew Aqua. And
where is Deep Blue in all this? Our leader, who you obeyed? He's DEAD did you say? Pai, what did you often state? Could you please repeat this?"
Reluctantly, Pai eventually sighed and said: "No matter what happens I will follow Deep Blue-sama until the end."
"No matter what happens, until the end! What did happen to our leader? What happened to Earth? To the humans?"
For a moment there was a silence. Indigo was waiting for an answer. "Well?"
Kisshu took that very convenient moment to lose his temper again. "OUR LEADER NEVER CARED ABOUT US! DEEP BLUE NEVER WANTED OUR PEOPLE TO
BE SAVED! HE ONLY WANTED THE EARTH FOR HIMSELF!"
"Kisshu!" Tart hissed.
Indigo lifted off his hood. They saw his pale skin, navy coloured eyes and long sandy hair that reached his elbows. In many ways he looked like Deep Blue
himself with only slight colour changes; it came from being the leader of supporters.
His eyes focused on Kisshu. "And this is coming from you."
Kish was taken aback.
Indigo continued. "Should I really take this from you? Should I really take all this from someone who constantly disobeyed his leader's orders? Who put his
own opinion ahead of Blue's and who really only ever worked for himself? No, I don't think I'll be taking this as reliable from you."
"I DID WHAT I DID FOR US! IT WAS ALL FOR THE PEOPLE OF THIS PLANET!" Kish yelled. He was stood right in front of the column with his fists clenched
and his anger out of control. "Do you think that I didn't care about what was happening back here? All I ever wanted was to save the people back home."
Indigo meanwhile wasn't really paying attention to Kisshu's rant. He spoke calmly as if nothing had happened. "For what you did against Deep Blue, one
would call you a traitor."
Pai and Tart looked at Kish warily. Pai went over and brought him back to the centre before he could yell anymore. He didn't yell, just stood there looking
outraged. Being called a traitor really got to him.
"After all I've done for this race…" he stared at the floor. "I was even killed by our leader. He didn't care… He didn't care."
"Why exactly did you call us here Indigo-sama?" Pai decided to swiftly change the topic.
"I wanted to know exactly why we are not currently on our true home planet."
Tart answered instead. "That planet has its own people now and they let us bring back some mew aqua so we could live. Once they'd defeated Deep Blue
they let us go quietly and…" he paused and looked suddenly afraid. He was scared at what reaction was coming from Indigo next. "And we… helped them in
the end."
All the supporters started talking amongst themselves. Indigo frowned. "Silence! You mean to say you let the Earth go?"
Tart looked up. "Yes. We let it go. But we managed to help both planets and both races! This fighting was pointless to start with!"
The talking started up again but this time the leader didn't bother to silence them. He looked at them stunned. "Well. It seems you have failed. We'll have
to take the matter into our own hands."
Now it was Pai's turn to argue. "But we have our own planet now! New Earth is beautiful thanks to the mew aqua, why would you go to destroy and reclaim
Earth when we already have this? This is just like the Earth we know from our time!"
"Silence, Pai! You have failed. We won't."
With that, the three aliens found themselves being teleported out of the room of supporters and into the street. They looked back at the giant domed
building they'd just been in.
There was an awkward moment as nobody was willing to speak first.
After a while Kisshu quietly spoke again. "They still follow Deep Blue after what he did."
"They don't know what really happened." Pai told him.
Kisshu looked down at the scar over his stomach where Blue had speared him. "This can't happen."
"What are you going to do?" Tart asked him.
"I'm going back." He said. Then he smirked like he always used to. "Anyone want to join me?"
Note: Yes, I do know Indigo is a bad name :)
