The night was a brilliant night, the three protective satellites shone brightly across the Kinmoku sky. It was my seventeenth birthday. My dad had put on this grand ball for me, in celebration. Every citizen on Kinmoku was at that party. It was filled with music, laughter, and happiness. I was getting ready for my grand entrance when there was a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" I asked looking at myself in the mirror. I straightened out my multi- layered and colored dress. My room was on the bottom of the castle, but I was supposed to appear on top of the stairs.
"Maker," Came her familiar voice. Maker was to be my escort from my room through the secret passage ways to the top of the grand stair case.
"Oh come in, Maker" I said smiling widely. Maker came in, in her dress I was making the Star lights' dress up, they were my friends tonight not just my protectors. The dress was a light lavender color that matched her eyes. Her hair was brushed down instead of her signature look. Maker looked around in caution.
"Princess Kakyuu, maybe you should get ready for the worst case scenario," Maker said her voice seemed misty.
"Worst case scenario?" I asked, confused.
"Something doesn't seem right with the cosmos, do you still have that secret compartment your father made you?" Maker asked. I nodded and crouched down on the rug. I lifted the rug to show a door.
"With all the supplies that I would ever need if something ever happened to the castle," I said. Maker sighed.
"Just keep it in mind, please?" Maker asked.
"Of course, you're never wrong Maker," I said. She held out her arm.
"Ready to go meet you people?" Maker asked.
"I can take care of that Maker," I voice in the doorway said. I stood up and smiled at the figure. My smile was the brightest it could be because of the man standing in the doorway.
"Lord Michael, of course." Maker said bowing. Everyone trusted Mikey, of course that was because Mikey was my boyfriend. He stood in his Lord outfit, looking quiet dashing. Maker sidestepped past Mikey.
"She's all yours Lord Michael, I'll be taking my place with Fighter and Healer," Maker bowed out. Mikey held out his arm to me.
"Ready for your moment to shine, my Princess?" Mikey asked. I linked his arm, hugged it and nuzzled his shoulder.
"This is going to be the best night ever," Everything grew dark. I looked around in freight and tried to grab for Mikey. He wasn't there anymore.
"Mikey!" I yelled. I heard the star lights' attacks and everything was destroyed. I broke down crying.
I awoke in tears. My head was on Fighter's shoulder, and Healer was sleeping across the three of us. I quietly and with the least amount of movement I could muster separated myself from the star lights. I got out of the cave. The rain had stopped early in the morning. I walked to where my room had been and looked around.
"Maker, I think you saved us," I said. I looked for the rug. It was under some light rubble. I moved it away and found the trap door. I opened it and popped my head in. I must have looked really ridiculous with my hair falling, but a smile spilt across my face.
"It survived, everything survived," I said. I got on my feet and walked done the three wooden stairs. There was water, food, and tokens from the past.
"I can't believe it," I said. I picked up a picture. It was a picture of my seventeenth birthday. It was a picture of me and Mikey with the Star lights surrounding us.
'A year ago, only one year ago. Everyone we lost, we need to make a ceremony, as soon as everything is back to as normal as we can manage. A farewell ceremony to everyone, including you,' I thought to myself caressing Mike's picture. I pressed my lips to the picture.
'I love you, Mikey,' Tears streamed down my front, staining my cheeks.
"Princess!" I head Healer call.
"Lady Kakyuu!" Maker said.
"Where can she be?" Fighter said. I popped my head out and looked around to see the Star lights.
"Princess, what is that?" Healer asked looking down in the space.
"It survived? Just as your father had designed it," Maker said. I climbed up the few stairs and looked at the star lights.
"Yes, now let's get started," I said.
"Hai," They answered at the same time. I closed the trap door and walked to the ball room rubble.
Flash back
The whole planet was being attacked. Mikey was leading me to try and get away from those who were attacking us.
'I should have listened to Maker, why didn't I listen to her?' the only thought running through my mind.
"Where are they?" I asked Mikey as we ran past another pillar. Bodies were everywhere.
"Star Tempest Inferno!"
"Star Serious Laser!"
"Star Gentle Uterus!" More bodies hit the floor and I covered my mouth.
"Princess! We have to get you out of here," Fighter said.
"Mikey, protect her. Get her away from everything" Healer said. "Star Serious Laser," Her attack ricocheted off one of the pillars. Mikey grabbed my hand and ducked as we ran across the ball room. A woman jumped in front of us.
"Finally, the little princess. Your parents were easy enough to dispose of, now is your turn" The woman said. She wore an all gold outfit and she looked down at us with an evil glare.
"Leave her alone, Galaxia" Mikey said. He pushed me behind me. I grabbed on to his arm.
"No, Please don't protect me," I pled.
"It's my duty to protect you, Kakyuu" Mikey said.
"No you're duty is to stay with me," I cried, tears streaming. Galaxia grabbed Mikey by the throat.
"Get out of my way you pathetic Kinmokan" Galaxia laughed.
"Mikey!" I yelled.
"Galactica Inflation" Galaxia said. Mikey yelled and screamed. I yelled in protest crying. I felt a presence on my shoulder.
"Got her come on guys," Fighter said.
"No, I have to save him" I yelled.
"Fighter, lift her up," Maker said. "Star gentle Uterus" Maker attacked someone behind us.
"I'm right behind you guys, get going," Healer said. Fighter threw me over her shoulder, against my wishes.
I was spacing out remembering everything that had happened.
"Kakyuu-Hime, are you alright?" Healer asked. I nodded, breaking out of my little spell.
"Yea, let's get started. Maker I want a plan in two hours time to figure out what we're doing, when we're doing it. Fighter start moving this stuff I want the palace to be the first to be rebuilt. Healer gather everything from the storage unit, we're going to need it," I said, standing up and pushing the memories back into the recesses of my mind.
"What are you going to do, Kakyuu-Hime?" Healer asked. I gave her a weak smile.
"I'm planning our first act as the new Kinmoku," I said.
