--Little Saturn--
Part 2 The Awakening
"We lift off in 10 minutes. We apologize for the delays." It had been 2 days since he was ordered to go to Japan to retrieve a weapon. And being told not to take his Gundam
He--Heero Yuy--was forced to ride a plane sitting between the braided baka and an angry Chinese man. He looked up when he heard someone mumble "What kind of code name is 'Little Saturn'?" It was Wufei going over the mission's objectives yet AGAIN.
**A day later**
"So this is the place? Let's go!" said the enthusiastic Deathscythe pilot.
"Fine" Was the monotone response as the group of five started forward.
"HALT! What is your purpose and intentions?" They stopped and looked for the voice's owner.
"Who said that?"
"I did." was the response as a woman with waist length silver hair and red eyes wearing a black robe stepped out of the shadows on the temples top step.
"Who are you?"
"I am Callista, Guardian of this temple!"
"Miss Callista, we're looking for a woman called 'Little Saturn'. Will you take us to her?" asked the timid blonde.
"Yes. Follow Me." was her curt response. And the group walked into the building.
***************
" I can't believe these are the men of the prophecy!" Callista said to herself.
"What prophecy? And where are the others? I mean doesn't this temple have other occupants?" Asked the inquisitive Duo.
"When Mistress Saturn went into the coma state she told my many times over grandmother that a group of five men would come to awaken her and that they were to be the only men to ever set foot into the temple. It was also said that she would bring ones back to life who would bring peace and rule the galaxy. And the others are in their studies or classes. Some are praying for the Mistress's safe return…. This is as far I can go. Continue through the gates at the end of the hall and you will be in the Cave Of Ages, where the Mistress resides." With that Callista left them to their chore.
"WOW!! That's her. She's prettier than in the picture!" Crooned the always-cheerful Shinigami.
"Duo move back. We don't want her to wake up to that sight she would be scared for the rest of her life." snapped the bitter Wufei.
"Let's just get that crystal down and give it back so we can leave. This place gives me the creeps!" responded the short blonde.
" Fine. I'll jump and push it out of balance. One of you catch it, and give it to her" Ordered Heero.
He took a running start leaped and pushed the gem off its glaive shaped pedestal. First Duo tried to catch it but it slid through his fingers like a ghost. It did the same to Trowa and Wufei no matter how high they jumped. Until it simply landed in Quatre's open palms. Quatre then walked up to the sleeping woman and allowed the crystal to float form his hands. All the boys watched as the gem disappeared over the woman's chest and waited what seemed like an eternity for this sleeping form to move to wake.
Then suddenly the twin purple orbs that made her eyes flew open.
