"Harvest Goddess! We are back!" Alan yelled.
She turned and smiled "Hello everyone."
Yuki ran up "I apologize for being gone for so long! Please accept my apologi-"
Finn hit him in the head with a stick.
"Riiiight." Akari turned to the Harvest Goddess "So do you mind telling us how to gain these "Powers" so I can get this over with."
She smiled "I know all of this is sudden for all of you, but it will all make sense soon enough."
"Powers please!" She snapped but Takeru slapped her across the head.
"Be nice!"
"Alright then, as you wish." She snapped her fingers and we were all quiet for a few seconds.
"I... don't feel anything." Takeru said.
"Darn! I really wanted to see if anything happened!" He stomped his foot on the ground and suddenly he went flying in the air, screaming like a girl.
"There he goes." I mumbled as we watched him zigzag across the sky still screaming.
"I'll get him." Daren sighed and went up.
"Well, he can fly." Takeru said.
"Nah, he can control wind. When he stomped the ground he got launched upward by the air."
"What are our abilities though?" Takeru asked Harvest Goddess.
She smiled "You'll see."
He looked at the ground and kicked a rock which suddenly flew upwards.
Collin grinned "Looks like you can control earth, if you get strong enough, you can even make plants grow and attack at your bidding. That is useful."
Akari and Takeru suddenly turned to me and got wide eyed "What?" I asked.
"Your head..." Takeru said.
"I felt my head, but I noticed that my hands were on fire. I yelped and tried to wave my hands out. "Get it off! Get it off!" I yelled.
"Relax, you can control fire Hikari!" Alan yelled.
I stopped then noticed that my hands didn't burn, I looked in the water of the spring and noticed that my forehead had a flame on it too.
Akari jumped suddenly "It is like Katekyo Hitman Reborn!"
We both looked at her "What?"
"N-never mind..." She mumbled. Her hands started glowing purple and a scratch on her hand disappeared.
Edge jumped up "She is with me!" He started crying.
"W-what is this?"
"Y-you... sniff... can heal... sniff."
"Heal?"
We both looked at each other then at Harvest Goddess "Can we trade?" We both asked.
She shook her head "Both of you were decided these powers by your personalities."
"I'm not the healing type though!"
"I-I'm not the type who can use fire! I don't want to brutally hurt anyone!" I said.
"Fire and Heart are elements that are sometimes underestimated. They symbolize more than what you think they mean."
After we got Yuki down, we started practicing our abilities with the sprites. I learned how to do special fighting moves, or mainly just punches and kicks, cause apparently I could put flames on my feet too. I watched Yuki practice flying and I wondered if I could use my fire to do it too.
"It is worth a shot." Alan said after I asked him.
I got ready, then I jumped in the air, flames bursting like rockets on my feet behind me. I looked down and kinda jumped when I saw how far up we were.
"Try steering!" Alan said.
I leaned down and i went down, then I leveled out. I was doing much better than Yuki was. The view was amazing from up there, I could see everything.
"How do I land?"
"Relax the fire slightly and do a dive. Once you've made it close enough, stand up straight and you'll be lowered slowly."
I dived down, my heart racing slightly "Hikari!" Alan yelled, I looked at him then turned to where he was looking.
"Crap!" There was a spaceship, or actually a droid following me.
I quickly lifted back up and picked up speed. Alan grabbed my shoulder and held on. It kept chasing me no matter what, I looked at the other below who were watching.
"How do I attack?"
"Turn and send a fireball at him!"
I flipped onto my back and punched the air which sent a huge ball of fire at the droid. While it was distracted I dived down and ended up doing a 360 degree turn so I ended up behind it.
I sent another fireball at it. Then I went above it and turned off the flying ability, or whatever, completely and drop kicked it on top, it slammed down toward the ground below, along with me.
"Fly! Fly!" Alan yelled.
My feet started hating up and I was launched toward the sky again, I quickly dived to send another fireball at the droid. I watched it slam the ground with a loud BAM and I landed not too far away from it. I panted and shivered, mainly from the adrenaline. We both walked over "It is from Hamil from the looks of it."
I squinted and noticed a camera "Crap, they recorded the whole thing." I mumbled.
He sighed "Well, they would've found out sooner or later. Let's get rid of it."
"R-right." I shot a fireball at the camera and it exploded.
I looked at my forehead "How do I... turn off the flame on my head."
"When you calm down, it will."
I took a few deep breaths then I felt back to my normal self and we started waling back.
"Are you guys okay?" Takeru asked.
We both nodded "We are good."
Akari suddenly came running up "What happened? I hope you both are alright."
"Where were you?" I asked.
"I ran to tell the Harvest Goddess about what happened. We will talk about it when we get back."
I didn't show it, but something was up, she came a different direction, not where the harvest spring was. That and she was acting different. I kept quiet though just in case.
"We were able to defeat the droid but they got a recording of us while we fought it." Alan said.
"Can we see?" Yuki asked totally pumped about it.
"Can we?" Collin and Finn asked.
"Alright then, this way."
We made it to the droid and Yuki started poking it with a stick.
"It would be a good idea to tell the Harvest Goddess what happened. Yuki, Takeru, you two tell her, Akari and I will keep watch along with Alan and Finn."
Takeru looked worried, as if he knew as well that something wasn't right, I smiled "We will be fine on our own for a quick second."
They both nodded and, along with some of the sprites, took off.
Akari stared at the droid "How did you do that?"
"Just practice that is all."
"I hope I can do that later on in my training."
I looked at Alan who looked at me and nodded. I decided to keep quiet for a bit longer till the guys were close to coming back.
After a while she finally said "Should we check on the guys to see if they are alright?"
"Nah, I think they got it."
"What if Gilligan and Hamil got them though?"
"they are fine, though I wouldn't say the same for you." I felt my fire turn on.
She whipped around "Wait, w-what are you doing?"
"You know, for the enemy, you sure seem a bit stupid. At first when you first came after we fought, I thought it was my imagination. But when you supposedly came back from the Harvest Spring, you came from the wrong direction. Not to mention you act to kind natured to be Akari. That and Akari doesn't have a power that involves strength like mine. So how about you tell me who you really are, you aren't Gilligan because of your lack of intelligence, I know Hamil couldn't pull this off, so who are you?"
"I-I Don't know what you are talking about."
The guys came running up, she turned "Guys, I think Hikari is brainwashed, she wants to attack me."
"What?" Yuki asked.
"Cut the crap." I snapped at her and threw a fireball at her, she jumped back.
"Please stop! Takeru, Yuki, help please!"
Takeru grimaced "Sorry, but you aren't my sister."
"Everyone knows, start talking. Who are you and where is the real Akari."
She stopped in her tracks and giggled "Aaaaaalright, you caught me!"
Her body started to glow and she grew shorter. Her real form was a short martian who was purple with purple hair with star clips that matched her antennas, she wore a girl version of gill's outfit with a skirt and school shoes with black socks.
"I'm Lt. Lunarie."
"Lu-Lunarie?" Yuki asked. He suddenly broke down laughing "Th-that is PRICELESS! You guys have the dumbest names in the world. Lunarie isn't even a real name."
She blushed and snapped her fingers and a small blue flame came out. She threw it at him "COLD! COLD! COLD!" He yelped trying to put out the fire.
"Huh, hot and cold flames, the rivals. Looks like you and Lunarie are Rivals." Alan said.
"Rivals for love!" She snapped.
"Wait what?" Suddenly she shot huge balls of blue blames at me, and I launched myself in the air, she followed.
"What are you talking about!"
"I'm talking about you and Gilligan! He's mine! I like him! But all he ever seems focused on is you! It is always about you!"
"Wait huh? I don't like..."
She shot another flame at me and I shot one at her, they collided with a BAM.
"You KISSED him!" She shrieked "Don't lie to me!"
"No! He kissed me! You got it all wrong!"
She stopped in mid air along with me, she took a few deep breaths "I have to calm down or I'll break out. Well... we are enemies anyway, soooo I'll enjoy capturing you!" She shot another flame at me, I felt a icy sting on my shoulder and grabbed it.
I launched myself up in the air again. Suddenly I felt my arm go numb "What?" I mumbled.
She laughed behind me "The icy flame can petrify you, and if I keep getting you, it will eventually shut down all abilities or functions in it. Let's see your flame do that!"
She shot another one at my other arm "Shit!" I snapped and threw a fire ball at her before my other arm went numb. It grazed her side and she cringed "You are going to pay for that!" She suddenly threw one at my leg, I swore and moved downward to the ground as my leg went numb and the fire stopped working. I increased power in my other leg and tried to get closer to the ground to land safely. Suddenly i felt a icy sting on my only working leg. Suddenly I was free falling, followed by a cackle that was coming from behind me. She grabbed my shoulders and slammed me into the ground. I lost consciousness for a few seconds and a loud scream of pain escaped my lips. She giggled "Not so tough now are you?"
I continued letting out yells of pain as it went through my back and my limbs which felt like they were on fire.
"Well, how about we end this." She threw another flame at my arm and it felt like fire was singing ever cell in my arm, she shot another at my other arm, then my legs. I let out another scream of pain, my heart was racing fast. I was probably miles from the others, n one would make it in time. I noticed that I was starting to cry from all the pain flowing through my body.
"How about we aim for your face to see what happens." I felt my heart skip a beat as she got a light blue flame ready to fire. Suddenly someone grabbed her arm.
"Lunarie, that is enough." It was Gilligan.
"G-Gilligan! b-but, I'm supposed to, it is part of the mission!"
"You weren't even assigned to kidnap them, just study their moves. From the looks of it you didn't listen and decided to attack her."
Her eyes started filling with tears "Cause it isn't FAIR! You always seem to care about her! What about me! She isn't even on our side!"
"It has nothing to do with that! Go back now or else I'll report you to the leader!"
She glared at him "Jerk!" Then she disappeared.
He sighed, then he looked at me, my voice was gone but I still cringed, I couldn't move whatsoever.
He took off his glasses and kneeled next to me "Relax, you're fine now." Part of me felt unsure but the look in his blue eyes made me thing otherwise. He took out a red bottle and unscrewed it. "Drink this." He said, holding it against my lips. i managed to turn my head, no way I was drinking that. I grimaced again as the main started to increase, I gasped with pain.
"Fine, looks like I will have to make you drink it." He put some in his mouth then grabbed my chin. For some reason I knew what was coming up next. He pressed his lips against mine and forced my to drink it. The liquid was sweet, but at the same time tasted kinda weird. He took another sip of it then did the same thing again. He screwed it back up again "It will make you feel better. You will be walking again tomorrow morning." Suddenly my vision got hazy and I passed out from the pain which slowly started to disappear.
Hope you liked it! ^-^ Uh-oh what will happen now that Lt. Lunarie is in the picture? Sorry about the name, that was kinda just a random name I gave her XD ! Please comment or leave ideas, I'm all up for hearing them!
