Chapter 11: The `child' awakens

"...and Hansel said, `Tomorrow, I will sprinkle the breadcrumbs along the path, so later, will be able to trace them, and find our way back home' he whispered to Gretel. Gretel nodded and fell asleep...."

"That's a...very interesting story your reading."

"It's not interesting! It's fun and exciting!! Go away, Scorpio!"

"Sorry, master."

"Tch, you got her ticked off again. Poor little child."

"Will you ever just butt out Libra!?"

"Oh, but it's not good for her kind of nature. Let's leave the master alone for a bit."

"Hey Aries! What the hell you're doing here? Aren't you supposed to be out somewhere?"

"That's really none of your business."

`As wHy YoU SHouLd stop tHIs....aND geT DoWN to bUsineSs...'

Every one turned around and faced the voice.

`GaTher EVeRyoNe Else! ThIs is goiNG To bE an IMPortANT dIsCuSSioN...."

Scorpio, Libra, and Aries nodded, turned, and walked to their own path.

A weak voice suddenly muttered something behind him. "...mmp.."

"HoShI...."

"There were three Galactic Cannibalism major parts. One was the Northern Hemisphere. The brightest part of the galaxy. That's where most of the population is. Great big cities are built there, the environment and culture in any of that place was just as perfect as anything. That's where we are. Just like...that planet in the solar system...anyway, and then there was the Southern Hemisphere. There really isn't that much information about that place. It's much smaller than the northern Hemisphere. It's really a dark, dark place. It said to be an enormous black hole the sucks up other particles in that area...but why not the Northern hemisphere...I wonder?" Aquarius looked up from her book.

Leo stared aimlessly out to the bright, beautiful city. He brushed a little fallen lock out of his face, and picked up his cup from the brim.

"It is also said that this place is very powerful, it can control the power of the 'black hole'. It is probably the most powerful galaxy in this area of the Universe...." He drank his drink.

"...then why are we here? We were told to come here to...help?" Aquarius asked.

"Something unbelievable....." Leo mumbled quietly, very quiet, so that no one could hear him.

"LEO! Aquarius! Come on! Let's go," Libra's distant voice shouted.

Leo sighed and paid his bill. Aquarius packed her things into her bag.

After they had gathered the others, they got into two cars and sped off into the bright main street towards their destination.

Pisces stared out the window, looking at all the normal happy people shopping along the way. Her small face glimmered against the window, as the street and shop lights came by.

Sagittarius looked at her sadly. "She's too young to serve for this galaxy...." He thought.

They soon came into view of an enormous castle....a floating one on top of clouds. It stretched out grandly, along with other floating smaller castles. The top, the very tip of the castle could not bee seen; it was covered by another layer of clouds. At least that was the good part, because it was said that a very bright stone lays there, too bright to blind anyone. It enlightened the clouds. It was also said that stone was the heart of the Northern Hemisphere.

As they approached it, Virgo said, "Ok, get ready."

He pushed a small black, button under the wheel, and the car vanished slowly under them. They landed lightly on their feet.

"Ok, right up there at the gates..."

They met up with their other comrades and stepped up the long steps to the huge platinum door.

"This is it..." whispered Gemini.

They entered, and the door closed behind them.

A small, fat servant came up to them and escorted them to the heart of the palace. Soon, they came to a huge room...

There was a very wide silver chair, stretching across the room. Chains of beads were limping and hanging from the sides...and in the middle was a little girl.

She had very short hair, and straight bangs. Her hair was pitched black, and she wore very dark clothes. (Kind of like Hotaru) The only thing different about her, is that her highs was remarkably bright, and very silver. They glittered like an angels'.

A man stepped up, but was he was way too dark...even there was enough light to say anyone, he was over come by shadows and darkness. The only thing you can see was his dark menacing red eyes.

"BoW dOWn!" He barked at the twelve.

The little girl put her finger to her lips indicating for him to be quite. She nodded gently toward them, and they obeyed.

"Please rise." She spoke in a very young voice, a very kind one too.

"This man has begun to tell me about something....very powerful....somewhere in the distant reach from us! As I say, I have given my full trust for he has told me that it will over come and over power this galaxy. This galaxy had been very powerful and peaceful, so as we agree that we will try to stop it.... He has appointed all of you to do the honor..." her eyes kind of gazed upon them.

Cancer could not believe that this little girl can take this kind of...responsibilities! So as she had heard, the whole generation had always been like that. It is not much of a surprise to anybody else about it anyway.

She continued. "He has also pointed out that you were the one of the most powerful armies and fighters in the universe. You are also the only ones that were the nearest of the most powerful. This place may be also powerful too, be this is a peaceful empire, and we very much WILL need your help to maintain it..." `It is my job to protect it too,' she thought. She lowered her head.

"This man will show you were you will be getting started....I..." she suddenly crouched down holding her heart. Everyone became startled. A small cry came out of her. Aries almost went up to help, but the dark man help up his hand.

"LeaVE! I wILl TakE care OF It!" They had quickly walked away, wondering what the hell happened.

The man pushed the girl up straight again, and put his hand on her heart. Something started to glow from it....and the pain washed way. The girl's eyes were closed but a shadow came over her head.

The man's eye's glimmered. "IT hAS begun...."
