Earth:
The sunset over Tokyo is spectacular and
crowds are gathering in parks and city squares to view the comet. Hatomi, Yukari and Amano are at the shrine
across from the school. The three are
dressed casually in jeans. Hitomi has on a soft pink crop top, Yukari as best
friends sometimes do, wears an identical green one. As they pass by the spot
where Van killed the dragon Hitomi pauses.
Hitomi: "Go on I'll catch up in a few
minutes."
Amano: " Sure I need to talk to Ukuari
anyway, but don't take too long you won't want to miss any of the comet."
Amano places his are possessively across
Yukuari's shoulders and leads her toward and open patch between several trees
with a perfect view of the sky and the full moon hanging above the tip of the
tree line. Hitomi watches them walk
away then turns back to the spot she had just been looking at.
Hitomi: "I don't know why, but I feel sad
for the dragon that died here. I never
felt that way before."
Suddenly
all goes dark and Hitomi sees a blue/green energist glowing brightly then tree
men in dark robes gather around it. One
holds out a long handled instrument, which he applies to the energist. The rod glows red and sparks erupt from
under the energist. The energist cracks
and explodes. Everything goes dark and Hatomi is again in the shrine.
Hitomi: " Oh no."
That was a vision she realizes as she tries
to hold herself steady. Before she has
a chance to figure out what it all means Ukuari puts a hand on her shoulder.
Ukuari: " Hitomi! Hitomi! He did it. I can't believe it I mean I was hoping.:"
Hitomi: " Hold on your speaking in riddles".
Amano walks up.
Amano: " Come on Hitomi, Yukari, the comet
is coming, and by the way Hitomi, I asked Yukari to marry me, but she started
babbling and without answering me ran for you."
Yukari flings her arms around Amano.
Yukari: "Oh Yes!"
Then the two kiss passionately, breaking off
the embrace as they realize that for the moment they had forgotten Hitomi.
Hitomi: "Well one show is over, but I think
the other is about to begin."
Together they walk over to the
clearing. Yukari takes a blanket from
her backpack and spreads it out on the grass.
Yukari: " You didn't think I was bringing my
homework did you?"
She and Amano settle down on one side of the
blanket leaving room for Hitomi on the other side. Hitomi wonders if the comet is visible in Gaea "I'd like to think
that Van is watching this with me tonight.
The comet comes into view above the trees in
the darkening sky.
Ukuari: "Oh how beautiful. It's
blue/green."
Hitomi stands slowly, fear filling her
mind. She keeps her eyes fixed on the
comet's progress across the sky. She
moves away from the blanket, her hands falling to her sides. As the comet passes behind the full moon a
bright blue/green light bursts all around Hitomi. The light draws the attention of Ukuari and Amano. They turn to see the light evolving
Hitomi. She screams in pain as her body
arches backwards. She lifts her hand
and a bright blue/green flame shoots out from the palm. Hatomi vanishes leaving behind nothing
except charred grass.
Yukari: "Hitomi! OH NO!"
