Here it is! The sequel most of you have been waiting for! Read on and review please!
Dark eyes scanned the horizon, sharp as a hawk looking for its prey. Purple's Right Hand Girl shielded her face with one slender hand gripping a double bladed scythe in the other.
"Where is he...?" She muttered, voice low and dripping with malice. Her acute vision picked up the almost miniscule twitch of a slender, nervous antenna. "You're mine!" She screamed, lunging forward with the force of a thousand voot cruisers. "I will avenge you Purple-sama!" She cried, her words holding the slightest hints of sorrow.
"Shit!" Her quarry yelped; tripping over his feet in his own haste to somehow, with the help of about seventy miracles and the Mother of all on Irk, get away. His red eyes glinted in the harsh light of Irk's moons, alive with the fear that he soon would be dead.
"I've got you now!" Purple's Right Hand Girl shrieked into the night air, disrupting the relative peace with her promise of revenge. "You will never escape me!" Her scythe swung in a great arc, metal glistening as if it were wet with his blood already, to sweep down on the unprotected back, much the same way as-
KA: Okay! That's enough of that! Purple's Right Hand Girl has received her revenge, just imagine the rest people...anyway, here is the REAL sequel! Please read and review and I apologize for the lateness, it was supposed to be out two weeks ago! But, as usual, ffn wasn't cooperating and school is winding down so testing is on the horizon...enough with the excuses, not like anybody reads this stuff anyway! Do they?
Italics = flashbacks this time ^^
Disclaimer: I don't own them, just Tegin and anybody else that is not familiar, except, of course, Ivy who I am borrowing once again from the great Aliet Faslami! Her work is very inspiring! And no, that is not Purple chained to the wall in my basement...
Ivy stared out the window, longing to find solace in the deep dark of the universe. She remembered when she and Purple had used to look out at the stars together; they had brought the deceased ruler peace and tranquility in his otherwise hectic and dangerous world. The young green-eye swallowed the lump in her throat as she recalled those precious nights; they had always been too few...
"What are the stars, Pur?" A very young Ivy looked up at her teacher, admiring his tallness and kind violet eyes.
"Beautiful..." he sighed, knowing that that hadn't been what she had meant.
"I didn't mean that!" She laughed, holding up her arms to be picked up by a very willing Purple.
"I know...but if you explain something beautiful it takes away from it." He smiled and stroked her antennae while they continued to gaze at the other world, lost in their thoughts and breathless at the beauty that dotted the sky before them...
"Ivy-tam?" She was brought out of her reveries by the shy voice of her friend Tegin Di. He had finally received his name, though through a very unconventional method. His teacher's will, drawn up before The War, as it was now called, had left him everything, including his name, asking forgiveness for not being able to give it to him properly.
"Hm?" She never turned from the window and Tegin understood that it was not a show of aloofness as they had often shared memories standing in front of the stars.
"You have that meeting with the Dan-ga-Jin in an hour. Red told me to tell you." His quiet voice hadn't changed over the two years since they had met. He had grown taller, still not as tall as she or Red but taller then everyone else in the complex, and she smiled imagining his face. A small smile would play across his lips as he stared at her back waiting for a response and his body would shift from left to right as he grew anxious with waiting. But, she reminded herself, she was the sole Tallest now and no one could rush her, no matter how cute they were...
"Thank you, Tegin." She ran an arm across her face, wiping away any stray tears, and spun to face her companion with a huge grin. "Shall we go then?"
"W, we?" The shorter one stuttered while Ivy slung an arm about his shoulder.
"Of course "we"! I could never go anywhere with out my trusty advisor! Red doesn't like these long meeting anyways. Where is he?" She was very proud of Tegin; he had gotten over his fear of Soldiers, for the most part, and was now able to tolerate Red in the same room. Ivy didn't hate Red for what he had done those two years ago, but neither did she forgive him. Still, she loved her instructor very much and he continued to teach her the rules of combat, even though he beseeched her not to pursue such deadly past times. He himself had resigned from commander of the Irken military leaving it to the shorter ones and even some of the Students. Times had changed and for the most part there was peace, there was only one group of Soldiers that continued to stir up trouble and they kept mostly to themselves.
"They will be here shortly and then the meeting will start a half-hour after that." He peeked at his electronic notebook, a handy one that he could clip to his wrist, to confirm everything.
"What is this thing about?" She asked, knowing that they would both be slightly bored no matter what the issue.
"Peace negotiations..." he replied slowly, they were always particularly tedious as everybody always resisted Irken conquest.
"I guess we'll have to hear their terms, huh?" Ivy asked, not looking forward to it at all. Irk's population was bigger then gigantic and they needed room to expand therefore forcing the invasions and causing conflict. Usually these could be resolved peacefully but sometimes...she let the thought hang.
"I'm afraid so."
"Well! Then let's get it over with!" They left, heading down to the lower levels, with their arms intertwined.
Wow, that was short...dang it! I promise It'll get better and longer! And for those who are wondering, Tegin and Ivy are not a couple; they are merely friends. Ivy's not mine and I can't, nor do I want to, do anything else w/out permission from her creator.
I hope you like it and it catches your interest because there's nothing worse then a bored reader! Please leave any suggestions with your reviews and I will think about every one, giving credit where it is due! Thank you for reading! Ja ne minna-san!
