Chapter 2: The Call
Makoto: Stop right there!! Are you the only one here??!??
Voice: [chuckle]... baka.... You guys.. are... really pathetic...
Minako: ...
Minako steps forward to that voice.
Rei: Minako...
Minako stood before this person and suddenly fell on her. A silver hair girl that has her glimmering hair tied in a ponytail. The leather suit she wore is kind of revealing. She seems to be very tired and exhausted. Bloods drip from head to toe.
Minako: [shocked] Healer!
The girls grasped.
Voice 2: How... long.... did it... took... you guys... to come...?
Ami stepped forward. A brown hair girl had hairstyle like Healer and uniform, she holds her left arm with the right hand. Making it seems like the left hand is broken.
Ami: Maker... are you okay?
Usagi: What happened to you two?
Minako still holding on to the exhausted Healer.
Healer: I guess... they forgot... the bonehead... over... there...
A moan was heard over the other corner.
Fighter: Who... are... you.... callin.. bone... head..
Usagi: Fighter! [ran to Fighter]
The girls walk over to Usagi. Usagi kneed down to see the badly injured Fighter.
Usagi: What?... what happened? Who did this?
Usagi could see the dried bloods on Fighter and scars. Holding on to Fighter wanting to know what happened. But Fighter still has her eyes closed.
Fighter[thinking]: Odango.. Her warmth... It feels good.... Her voice... it's beautiful... I miss her so much... Is it really her? Am I just dreaming it? Maybe I hit my head too much... Or is it because of.... is ... is everything a dream?.
.
The StarLights are on their own bed, resting.
Makoto: They have cuts everywhere... But, Seiya seems to be the worst out of the three.
Usagi has her worried eyes. She looks at the StarLights resting, and than looks at the telephone.
Minako: I wonder... what happen on Kinmonku...
Yaten: [Still has her eyes close] You... guys don't want to know...
The girls look at Yaten resting on his bed. Yaten soon raised to a sitting position on his bed.
Yaten has a bandage around his head like the other two. His top clothes was off, replacing it was another set of bandages coving the chest and hands. Rei: You should rest...
Yaten: [Looks at Rei] .... [Hits Taiki]... Why were we here the 1st place?!? We should be with her!
The injured Taiki was injured more.... Taiki raised to a sitting position. Taiki, like Yaten, has bandages around his head, chest and his whole left arm.
Taiki: I don't really know why.... but maybe it's because... [looks at Seiya]....
Usagi: Taiki... can you please tell us... what happened?
Taiki looks at the girls.
Taiki: Well.... [looks at Yaten and turn to the girls] ... everything was perfect on Kinmonku... until Princess was in danger... I saved her.... but... something else happened..
[Flash Back]
As soon as Kakyuu stepped to the hall, it began to shake.
Healer: [shaky voice from the quake] What is happening?!?
Kakyuu: [shaky voice] I don't know, but-
Lady: Present..
A woman appeared out of no where stood before the soldiers, Starlights and the Princess. She has dark blue hair, a long staff containing on top, an aura of the sky and wears a uniform similar to that of the scouts on Earth. She was not shaking by the quakes and hardly anyone could see her face.
As the ceiling begins to come apart, Fighter recognize that voice, the one she heard in the dining room.
Fighter: [shaky voice] Who are you?
Lady: ..Future...
Fighter: [shaky voice] What?!?
Lady: and.. the Past...
Kakyuu: [Shaky voice] We have to get out of here!
Suddenly Kakyuu's eyes are still. Like she was hypnotized.
Maker: [shaky voice] Princess!
Lady: It is too late... but...
Healer: [shaky voice] Who the hell are YOU!?!
The ceiling began to break off. The piece that fell, fell on top of the standing soldiers. Another was starting to fall on Maker who was holding on to Kakyuu.
Fighter: [shaky voice] Look out!
Fighter ran and pushed Maker and Kakyuu from the falling ceiling. Injuring himself. When the StarLights look back to the lady, she was gone. The whole palace shakes even worse. The quakes particularly under the palace itself.
As the StarLights ran out from the palace, the city was held in darkness. The buildings, lives, everything was destroyed. The beautiful cities were once more gone. Devastated, the StarLights didn't know what to do. Were they to run? To where?
The darkness covering the morning sky begins to crack with lighting. The StarLights saw lighting hit one of the tall building. The lighting was black.
Healer: What?... Black lighting...?
Maker: It can't be Galaxia! She was destroyed!
Healer: Than who the f**k did this?!?! [pointing to the crumpled city]
Fighter kneed down to the floor.
Fighter: DAMN! [hits the floor with her tighten fist]
Healer: Princess? How is she?
Maker: She still is stoned...
A black sphere appears out from the dark sky coming at them. The StarLights began to run.
Fighter: [stops] Star... Serious Laser!
As the laser hits the black sphere, the sphere absorbed the laser.
Fighter: what? [starts to run again]
Healer: What the hell is that???
Healer: [stops] Star... Sensitive Inferno!
The black sphere once again absorbed the blast. Healer starts to run again.
As the StarLights run, they did not notice the black sphere making some kind of energy beam.
Fighter: [Looks back to the sphere]...[eyes widen]
The black sphere used the energy beam and blasted the StarLights. Maker lost the hold of Princess.
Maker: Noo!
The black sphere touched Kakyuu and began to absorb her as well.
Maker: Star.. Gentle-
Another blast attacked the StarLights. This one was a beam of fire. The StarLights went flying all over different directions. Stains of blood were laid wherever the StarLights touched.
Maker: [panting] Damn.
[End Flash Back]
Seiya interrupted Taiki story.
Seiya: Taiki.. [looks at Taiki and Yaten]
Seiya touch his bandaged head. Bandages were around Seiya's body like he was going to be mummified.
Seiya: I guess.. we are really on Earth..
Usagi: Sei..ya...
Seiya smile to Usagi.
Seiya: Sorry for the interruption... but, I think Taiki was bleeding from his head by than... right?
Taiki: [slight smile to Seiya] I guess...
Yaten: Than I guess I should continue... As we were running to get away from the black sphere that took away Princess...
[Flash Back]
The black sphere continues to attack StarLights like it was yesterday's garbage. StarLights continued to run.
Healer: [panting] Who the hell is controlling that?!? Could it be that woman...?
Fighter: [carrying the knocked-out Maker] I don't know... maybe...
A dark figure stands before the tired, bleeding StarLights.
The StarLights stopped.
Healer: [panting] Are you that woman in the palace before!?!
Fighter: [panting] Show yourself! [Gave the injured Maker to Healer]
Healer: ... your not doing what I think your doing... Your injuries are worst than Maker's!
Fighter not listening looks back to see if the black sphere is going to attack. She saw the black sphere trying to get through this barrier that surrounds them and that black figure.
Fighter: [panting] Who... Who are you?!? Did you do this!?!
The black figure just stood there.
Fighter: TELL ME! [runs to the black figure]
The black figure held out her staff containing an aura of the sky. She held the staff that made the aura point at Fighter. Fighter can't seem to move.
Lady: The Past... the Present... the Future...
[End Flash Back]
Yaten: [con't]... after she said that, we ended up in the dark room and found out that it's the Hikawa Shrine. We heard your voices and tried to call out to you guys... no one answered so we kicked the floor...
Ringgg- Ringgg. [phone rang]
Usagi: I'll get that...[picks up the phone]... mamo-...
Seiya could see her expression changed... Now her face is even sadder than before. Usagi eyes are full with tears...
Usagi: [drops phone] ...[stood up]..[wipe tears]....[ran outside]
Makoto: Usagi!
Ami: [picks up the phone]..[starts to speak in English].. yes... oh... are you sure? Ok... yes... we will... thanks...bye bye...
Ami's face got worried too. What was going on, the StarLights thought.
Rei: Ami... is...
Ami: [nods her head]... [Looks at the questioned boys]... I guess its time to tell you our story... Its Mamoru... He was offered again to go to the University in America. He told Usagi not to worry... That he will get there safely... Just a precaution, he told the University that if he does not arrive at the time that he should be, they should call here at the Hikawa Shrine. The University said that Mamoru did not arrive and they even checked the plane that he was on. The plane landed a long time ago...
Minako: Damn... what could it be? Usagi... she was so uptight about it too... and she had to hear it first hand...
Seiya got up and walked over to the door.
Yaten: Seiya! [Gave him a look of warning]
Seiya: I... want to see if she is going to be ok....
Seiya went outside. He looks to the setting sky... The yellows, red fighting over the blue sky... Seiya heard sobs nearby and went quickly over.
Seiya: [set down next to Usagi] Odango... long time no see...
Usagi: [wipes her tears]
Seiya: Hey... don't worry.. I bet he got lost on the way..
Usagi: [hugs herself] No.. he.. he's gone.. gone again.. [tears running] why?.. why are they keep on taking him away from me? What did I do wrong? [turns to Seiya] What did I do wrong?
Seiya: [has a hurt feeling] It's.. not your fault [took a hold of Usagi, and let her cry on his shoulder] [thinking]Usagi.. It hurts me when you are crying like this.. and even hurts me more when you mention him.. [pats Usagi's head]
Usagi: [sobs] He.. told me.. he'll call me...
Seiya[thinking]: Usagi... I feel so helpless... I can't even cheer you up in a time like this... only he could...
Outside the steps of Hikawa Shrine.
Haruka: Neko-chan must be crying right now...
Michiru: [nods head]
Hotaru: We must tell her.. as soon as possible...
Setsuna: [looks at the temple, having worried doubts]
To be continue...
