Author's Note: Hey there! Yup, there's nothing much to say here but here's the chappie!
Chapter 33: I'm…back?
"Thunder Bolt Strike!" The attack raced towards the Youma but dodged it. Just then, something appeared in the sky that looked like a figure, dropping something.
"St…ar?" Jupiter questioned, shocked yet confused. "Oh my God! STAR!" She ran towards her, followed by others. But once they reached her, they found out that she was… crying.
"What's wrong?" Silver Moon asked, concerned at the sudden scene.
"They're…dead."
"Aww, the Senshi is crying because of Troy?" The Time Youma mocked.
Star suddenly grew angry. "You MONSTER! Don't you even care? No why would you? You are a heartless bastard that doesn't give a damn about anything!"
It smirked. "Oh you mean like that… what was his name? Titus? He didn't really care…"
"He did! You just ruined it!" Star began to sob uncontrollably until an orange glow began to glow on her. Then, it got expanded as it blasted Silver Moon and the others a few centimeters away. Soon, Star began to rise in the air but she was crunched in a ball position as the glow soon turned into a lava tornado once it left her. The lava began to surround her as if she was inside a tornado.
"Wait… How did Minako manage to obtain lava… I thought only I could do that." Fire asked.
"Well, in some other parts of Venus, it is made up of lava completely. So maybe when she was small, she was granted to be able to use the lava or unless her ancestors pasted down." Ice explained. "But… she's out of control…"
"I got to help her!" Silver Moon cried out, running towards the Tornado Lava.
"NO! It could harm you!" Ice exclaimed, but Sere ignored her.
"That's not true… that's not true… Titus did care… He cared…" Star whispered, repeating all over; her cheeks are now streamed from tears.
"Mi…na…ko…" A soft yet familiar voice whispered. "Please…open your eyes…"
Minako tried but when she did, her eyes were glowing orange. She closed them again and this time the glow was gone but the lava was still there. She stared at a spot which was in front of her and there, revealed six people: *Cassandra*, Paris, Helena, Euripides, Orestes and…
"Titus…?" She whispered, seeing the six ghostly figures. Titus nodded.
"Please… you need to control yourself… if you don't, you could be dead." Titus replied.
"But… I want to be dead! I can't take it anymore! I want to join you… to see you every day in Heaven." Minako said, softly. Titus looked thoughtful before sticking his ghostly hand out. On his palm, an object materialized.
"This… is a locket… a Dream Locket… As long as you have this while sleeping, we could stay in contact." Titus replied, feeling the golden heart-shaped with sky symbol locket dissolve away and onto Minako's hand.
"Stay alive, kid. Hope to see you soon and once you're there, you could make fun of Paris." Orestes said. If it was possible, Paris punched him as he winced.
"Jerk." Paris muttered.
Minako laughed, softly but the tears streamed down her cheeks.
"Stay strong, Minako… The Fallen Goddess." Helena said.
"I will always remember you." Cassandra said next.
"Be controlled… don't lose control or otherwise you will lose control and that's not a good thing." Euripides responded. Soon, they slowly began to dissolve away like dust.
"What? No please don't go!" Minako sobbed.
"Remember… the one who dies never truly leaves you…" Titus ghostly voice whispered.
"Your friends need you… one is coming to rescue you. Allow the lava to un-harm her." Cassandra replied, ghostly.
Silver Moon took a step into the tornado, being surprised that the lava did not harmed her. Once inside, she saw Star crunched into a ball. Silver Moon felt herself, flying in circles.
"Star…" Her voice called out. Star opened her eyes, feeling the tears streaming down.
"Seren…ity…" Minako whispered, seeing her friend, having her arms out and she was in her Moonlight Princess form. She took them after a moment and Sere felt herself touching Star, comforting her. This seemed to work because the tornado died down and they floated down. Star was against her chest, feeling Sere's arms around her, trying to soothe her.
"It's okay… it's okay…" Silver Moon whispered.
Author's Note: AWWWWWWWWW! *cries* this was a sad chapter! Almost cried when writing this! Oh: *Cassandra*: is the daughter of King Priam and Queen. Oh! The Youma got finally destroyed so I didn't include that in there because I thought it wasn't necessary. Next time: Star vs. Jadeite!
