Squall gave a sigh. "who did we just miss?" he asked.
Keeping her eyes at Sakura, she answered, "Princess Fuu"
At the mention of her name, Sakura suddenly sat up, "Saturn, I need your help!"
she shouted.
Squall and Selphie's eyes widened. "Saturn?" they both said.

THE LEGEND OF ATLANTIS
By: Rhys Icewind
Chapter 10 - Death of an Ally
"Calm down, Dear One, I will help you. Let us go to the Lake of Dreams." Hotaru
said calmly.
"Hotaru? are you..." Squall's voice trailed off.
Hotaru just looked at him and sighed. "understanding will come much later on. do
not try and understand those things right now, for they are too complicated for
you." then, after saying those words, she turned to look at Sakura who was already
released by Selphie. Her body then glowed and then she wore something Sakura
knew to be her Sailor suit. The other two SeeDs just kept silent as Sakura and
Hotaru left the room.
After Hotaru and Sakura closed the door, Selphie turned to face Squall. "Squall,
I'm not really from around here so can I ask you something?"
"go ahead."
"where's the Lake of Dreams?"
"dunno."
"that's not some hidden lake?"
"I'm no explorer" Squall finally said and left. Selphie turned to follow.
* * *
After healing Shayla-shayla, Rinoa's pendant suddenly glowed.
"what's that?" Shayla asked, pointing to the violet-glowing pendant.
Rinoa closed her fingers around the pendant, closing her eyes and concentrating,
ignoring Shayla's question.
'Magical One, you are needed by the Lake of Dreams' Saturn's voice echoed in
her head.
Though it puzzled Rinoa, she made no complaint and kept all questions to herself.
The pendant suddenly floated into the air, waiting for Rinoa and Shayla to follow.
"let's go." she told her red-headded friend.
"go where?" Shayla asked.
"to the Lake of Dreams."
As soon as Rinoa said those words, a mix of feelings invaded Shayla. She was happy
and sad and confused at the same time. She KNEW that she had something to do with the
lake but she didn't know what. She also felt the presence of the mysterious red-headded
girl near her. Urging her to go to the said lake as soon as possible.
"Shayla?" Rinoa asked, tearing Shayla from her thoughts, "shall we go?"
Shayla gave a curt nod.
* * *
Galaxia felt the peeping presence near her. But she didn't make any move.
First things first.
And as soon as the last dark-magic filled arcane words escaped her mouth, she turned
to follow her new query. she thought.
as she turned by the corner, she had already caught up with his subject, who, turned
to face her.
"Eagle," she purred, "whatever are you doing running around like that?"
"shut up Galaxia! off with your tricks! you knew who I am from the very beggining!"
Eagle replied defiantly.
Galaxia took a step closer. Eagle didn't move an inch. "of course I knew who you were.
I couldn't possibly beleive that Lantis' bestfriend could be a traitor to his own kind,
I knew that you didn't qualify. But I thought that I could change you to be a REAL
traitor."
Eagle spitted at her feet. "FOOL! I'm not gonna let you get away with this! I KNOW
your weaknesses!"
A flash of anger contorted Galaxia's face. "OH REALLY?" she stepped closer. "let's
see about that!"
Suddenly, Galaxia brought Eagle to another dimension and they faced off. Galaxia
was the first to attack, and in one fluid motion, she collected dark energy in her
hands and threw it at Eagle. Though Galaxia was fast, Eagle was faster and he drew
his gunblade and tried to slash Galaxia by the chest. But Galaxia was able to dodge
his attack.
"your sword skills need sharpening, Eagle" she purred seductively.
Eagle just kept silent and kept focus. Suddenly, Galaxia created a sword with a
dark blade with her black magic. Eagle cursed under his breath and he attacked.
The blades came together and they thew out a blue-white spark that threatened to
take away Eagle's vision. As soon as the light was gone, Eagle barely evaded
Galaxia's thrust, which might have skewered his heart. Eagle rolled to his side
and immediately stood up. When he looked around, Galaxia was gone.
"where are you hiding, witch!"
"a witch am I?" she gave out an evil laugh. "if that's what you think of me,
then so be it. But to me, YOU are only a dodo bird*" she mocked.
Galaxia reappeared behind him and managed to slash his swordarm. Eagle jumped and
landed a few feet away from Galaxia. His gunblade made a clashing sound as it hit
the floor, his swordarm useless.
Galaxia laughed loudly. "what will you do now? now that the eagle has lost one of
it's wings?"
"I won't give up that easy!" he shouted, as he picked up his sword with his left
hand and attacked Galaxia, jumping up high and preparing to slash her. But then,
the Sailor soldier jumped up and assaulted Eagle in the air. He was barely able to
bock efficiently with his left arm, since he had never used it in battle.
"hmmm... not bad for an eagle who lost his wing.." Galaxia smiled evilly. Galaxia
slashed low and slashed Eagle's left leg and teleported away.
Eagle landed with a loud thud, trying to land efficiently but failing. He panted
as his lims protested as he tried to stand up. he thought and prepared
himself for an his secret attack - the Renzokuken. His body and sword glowed white
as he powered up his final attack.
Galaxia reappeared by Eagle's left. "whatever are you doing?" she asked, "planning
to attack me with magic? that will be useless for all magical attacks I will only
absorb."
He just kept silent and suddenly shouted, "RENZOKUKEN!!!!" and suddenly, Eagle
attacked Galaxia at blinding speeds, pressing the trigger at the right moment
when his blade made contact with Galaxia's sword. Galaxia was only able to block
the first two attacks, then her sword shattered into a million pieces. He then
assaulted her with various slashes and thrusts, even managing an arial rave
while he's at it. Finally, finishing it off with the Lion Heart. Galaxia fell
to one side of the room while he fell to the opposite side, landing with
another loud thud.
The Sailor soldier stod up on weak knees. He had managed to damage her severely
but there was no light price to it. "I have been kind enough not to use magic on
you, Eagle, but you do THIS to ME!!!" she shouted furiously.
Eagle weakly stood up. "you .... d-de-desrve...it" he said.
Galaxia lifted her hands in response and uttered arcane words that would mean his
death. Dark energy swirled and formed a ball in her hands and it grew bigger and
bigger, until a 10 Balamb Gardens were able to fit in. "for the damage you have
caused me, you pay with your life!" Galaxia shouted as she hurled the dark mass
towards Eagle.
"I'm s-sorry....Hotaru......." Eagle said as he closed his eyes and as the ball
came closer to his doom.
"NOOOO!!!" Eagle heard a high-pitch cry over the loud rumble of the energy.
Eagle's eyes suddenly snapped open and it widened in surprise to what he saw...
"Emeraude...?"
