Chapter 10: Mancini dance and the enemy.
Rahasha looked at her reflection in the mirror. Her dress was a beautiful long blue dress with straps that go over the shoulders. Her hair was pulled into a simple pony tail, and a necklace her mother owned was hanging around her neck. Saz came up behind her all dressed in her red dress. "Are you ready to add our wings?" Rahasha nodded. "Wait, I don't need fake wings. Remember when I was taken prisoner?" Saz nodded "well they gave me wings. And they are beautiful now that I'm light again." Rahasha concentrated on her wings. Saz stood back and watched as two beautiful wings appeared out of Rahasha's back. "Doesn't that hurt?" Rahasha shrugged "only a little but you have to remember that I did have time to get used to using them and plus I can get lessons from either Paul or the others." Saz laughed "that would be a sight to see. Can I watch?" "Only as long as you don't laugh, cause it's not going to be easy." Saz smiled, "I know, I like watching them and wondering what it would be like to have wings and be able to fly." "I know, and now my dreams come true, except when we first met with Aphridite's crew, Den and Paul had to fly us out of danger remember?" Saz nodded "that was fun" "yea I could tell all you did was laugh."
The guys were also getting ready. Den walked over to the very silent seriston "so... where are you from anyway?" Seriston looked up at Den. "I'm not from anywhere. I move around to much to be from just one place." Den shifted feet, "okay do you know were you were born?" "I believe I was born on a cargo ship that my parents were stationed on, and it was called "the living ring." at least that's what I was told." Den took that in and turned to the mirror, and began fixing his tie. With in five minutes, he decided to take off and go with out a tie. "So Den, how long have you known Rahasha?" Den turned from the mirror to look at Seriston "not that long why?" Seriston shrugged "just wondering, so she's really who she says she is?" Den got really impatient, and turned to Seriston "what do you mean?" seriston turned in his chair and looked at Den with a serious expression. "Cause I've met a lot of people who say they are someone that they're not. Stranger things have happened. Plus do you really think she would tell you who she really is if she had something to hide, to someone she just met? I know I wouldn't but would you?" Den thought about that for a moment then signed and turned back to the mirror to finish getting ready. Den suddenly got a weird thought "Seriston?" "Yo?" "What's your last name?" he turned to see Seriston shrug and say " don't remember, I lost it in a drunken poker game. I never could remember my last name after that." Den snickered.
Once outside the ramp, they all made sure they had what they needed then, continued on to the main mancinian hall. Inside, the mancinians had the room decorated in a celebration form. Streamers, and holographic balloons were set up in different areas of the room. Everywhere they looked, little mancinians were dancing to the beat of the music. A few of the crew paired off and joined the mancinians, while others talked about things to them. Den, Paul, Saz, and Rahasha, greeted the head mancinians. "Thank you for inviting us to this wonderful dance. We weren't expecting this." The mancinian laughed, or at least they believe it was a laugh "yes well we decided it was a honour to have you visiting our planet after you saved us. Twice." Den bowed and walked to the table holding the drinks. He tried to pick up one of the glasses, but the table wouldn't let it go. He tried to sweet talk the table "come on, please can I have this drink? You're such a beautiful table." the table refused to give it to him. He started to fight the table, for the glass, when he heard laughter. He felt a hand on his shoulder. "Having some trouble, dear table? He's a nice boy, you can release the drink." Den loosened his grip just a little and was happy that the table released the drink as it was told. "How did you do that?" she smiled and shrugged. He watched her walk onto the dance floor to join Saz and Paul. Den stood on the sidelines and just watched them dance. Rahasha tried to get him to go out and join, them but he just continued to stare out at them dancing. He was still standing there watching five minutes later, when Seriston walked up and stood beside him. "Man what are you doing? A beautiful sexy girl is trying to get you to dance and you just stand here and watch?" Den looked over at Seriston. "I...I'm trying to figure out why she wants me out there, but I can't. I want to go out there, but my feet won't work, its like they know that if I go out there, they are going to be sore later. And I know she's beautiful, that's the other problem." Seriston stayed silent waiting for him to continue. "Never mind I'm going," and he walked to the middle of the dance floor to a smiling sexy dancer.
After about ten minutes of dancing, a loud crumbling noise could be heard over the music. The mancinians took off running and hid. Rahasha turned to the noise only to find, Luchan and his crew of bitches. Rahasha's stomach dropped to the floor, and Den stood right beside her telling her that he was right there. Saz and Paul moved closer. Luchan smiled. "Well it's good to see you again Rahasha. Of course it was more interesting when you were on our side but I think I would have more fun killing you." Luchan reached to his lower back, and pulled out a long silver sword. It was like nothin any of them had ever seen. All down the hilt, there were special symbols, the handle of the sword was incased with a special grip which also had some symbols on it. Luchan turned the sword so it would catch the light. It was magnificent. Aphridite's crew spread out and took defensive stances around the Mancinians, in order to block the bitches from hurting them. Rahasha unhooked her lightsaber and got ready to fight the hardest battle so far.
Den turned to Rahasha. "We'll just be over there, if you need us." Rahasha nodded. Den, Paul, and Saz moved off to the sidelines, but still close enough to offer any help. Luchan's girls were about to spring forward, but were stopped when the blade of Seriston's vibroblade. Entered Menurva's stomach, and she fell to the floor. Blood was going everywhere. Luchan watched as his companion died, and his anger towards Rahasha built. With a scream of rage, Luchan sprang forward to attack Rahasha. At the last second she brought her lightsaber up to defend herself. "You killed menurva. Now you will die a thousand times worse." Luchan released one hand and grabbed at her throat, only to be kicked away, by her foot. "The only one who will die today will be you. I'm no longer a part of you. You have no control over me. This will be the last you will see of any of us. It is time." Rahasha closed her eyes and concentrated. Luchan thought this as a good chance to strike, and was rewarded by her lightsaber striking him down. Luchan fell to the floor. Rahasha put her lightsaber away, and walked a little distance away. Luchan tried to get up, but fell back down. "Help me you fools." Melifescent, Cruella, Helga, and Medusa, made the mistake of moving, for Seriston was ready. He struck them down before they were able to move two feet. Their bodies dropped to join menurva.
Rahasha signed as she looked down upon the man who tried to ruin her life as well as her friends. Luchan was finally defeated, and she was free, more free then she was when Den helped her to get out of his grasp before. Den came over and stood beside her. "You okay?" she nodded and turned to smile at Den "just peachy." Den smiled and swung her up into his arms, and twirled her around in circles. Saz laughed and exclaimed "isn't this supposed to be a dance?" the music continued and everyone continued dancing only with a renewed sense of joy. For the earthlings had saved their planet a third time.
