Revelation of the Duelists By: Onna OojiChapter 1: Child From the Sky
----Part I---
The young woman with pink hair is walking through what once was called the Dueling Forest. She is reminiscing over her past there. Suddenly, a multitude of flashes run across the sky. Two of them land a good 90-100 meters away from her. She races to that area of the forest.
When she gets there, she finds a very small crater of about 24-27 meters in diameter. She spies two objects toward the center of the crater. Two large rocks; the large one has a jagged, texture and shape to it, while the smaller is a perfectly smooth sphere. The large one begins to pulsate and shapes-shift into a Stone Oni.
The young woman searches for a place to hide, but with no success. Though at the moment, she is slightly frozen with shock since this was her first time seeing a real live oni. It glares at her direction, and then takes a pace towards her.
"Shcider wa giisuk deki Revoleus tatamau?" It growls at her with an abrasive voice.
"Nan desu ka?" she asks, not understanding anything the oni just said. (Translation: 'What?' basically.)
"Are you the onna named Revoleus? Ahh, Kaikaku or Kakumei, in your talk. I say." Says the Stone Oni, suspiciously eyeing the girl.
"Iie. Oname wa Tenjou desu." (1) Tenjou takes a retreating step with this. "What do you want with this 'Reboreusu' (2) or whatever, anyway?" (1.Translation: "No. My name is Tenjou." 2. Tenjou is trying to say 'Revoleus', just in a Japanese way of saying it.)
"Tenjou? Aaa. I see. I'm here for you too." It says, walking closer to her.
"What do you want with me?!" She asks, cautiously, her hand approaching the sword tied at her hip.
"TO KILL YOU BEFORE YOU CAN MEET REVOLEUS!!!!!!!" It yells and lunges towards Tenjou.
Tenjou draws her sword from her sheath to meet the oni's attack. Sparks fly when her sword strikes the oni's stone skin. Tenjou could see that her sword wasn't going to last very long till it shattered.
"I have to create a diversion so I can find a safer place where I can think about this situation." She thinks fearsomely, since the battle has been running for a good 10 minutes now and it definitely isn't going her way. She has been wearied down by burns from the sparks hitting her body; and fatigue. Just as she puts force into a charge at the Stone Oni's face, the sword finally shatters. At contact, several shards pierces the oni's left eye, causing it to ooze blood down it's face.
The oni halers in agony, and then pulls the shard out. During this, Tenjou has darted in back of the stone sphere. The oni searches out for her with its good right eye, and then realizes where she is. It lunges for the smaller stone.
"die tenjou!!!!!" it cries.
Tenjou cringes in back of the sphere in fear and for safety, when suddenly all the shades, tones, and colors in the clearing, switch to their complementary color. The sphere by her begins to vibrate, glow, and then lifts up into the air. Tenjou takes several paces back, in shock. Then, in a burst of light, the stone ruptures apart into pieces to reveal a thirteen to fourteen-year-old girl. She is hugging her legs in a ball at first, then stands-up straight, hair billowing in the air, and floats to the ground.
The Stone Oni begins to freak-out at the sight of the girl. It screams and charges toward her, using it's jagged arm as a weapon.
"Revoleus!!!!!!! ……ISOBACH!!!!!!!!!!!!"
'Revoleus' lifts out her arm and stretches her hand in the oni's direction. She blasts its entire body with a beam of light from her hand, killing it. Tenjou stands far behind her stunned by this and the fact that when 'Revoleus' was about to make the blast, her bangs flew up, exposing what appears to be glowing, silver kanji saying 'KAIKAKU' on her forehead. The girl's irises had turned white/silver at the time of the blast.
The Stone Oni yells 'Revoleus!!!!!' as it falls to the ground, dead. Tenjou stares at the dead oni, and then at 'Revoleus' / 'Kaikaku' / 'Kakumei'. 'Kakumei' walks to the oni, and then proceeds to give it a proper burial. Then her eyes begin tear-up.
"No more… No… More…Please… It's all too much!"
Tenjou tries to move closer, to comfort the girl, but her feet wont move. 'Kakumei' sensing this turns around to look at Tenjou. Then her body begins to fall to the ground, but disappears before it got there.
Tenjou is finally able to move, but ends up tripping over someone lying right in front of her feet. Tenjou looks down to see a naked 'Kakumei', trying to huddle in a ball. She turns her back to the ground as to turn towards Tenjou's face. Tenjou notices that the glowing kanji on Kakumei's forehead is beginning to flicker. Kakumei's sad eyes, which were white/silver just a minute ago, but are now a hazel with green iris, open up to say something.
"Tenjou… Utena…" She states, looking up into Tenjou's blue eyes.
"Hai?" Says Tenjou, staring at the smaller girl.
Kakumei's eyes close as the kanji finally disappears and everything goes black for her.
Tenjou checks her wrist for a pulse, with success. The colors in the scene have already returned to normal.
"Unconscious…Poor kid. So… You're this 'Reboreusu' person someone is out to kill. Umm…. 'Kaikaku' or 'Kakumei'. What do you have to do with me, 'Child From The Sky'?" Tenjou says while wrapping her jacket around to girl's body. Tenjou then picks Kakumei and takes her back to her dorm.
----Part II---
'I'm falling……… I'm…' Revoleus is floating in a black void in her mind. She's struggling to remember everything that has happened to her since she began the cycles of training, about a little less than a year ago, to present time. Clips of Tenjou checking on her in the forest and taking her back to a dorm, runs through her mind. She begins to view what happened before.
'PLEASE! PLEASE! NO MORE! I BEG OF-' She clasps her head in pain, screaming and crying. Then she feels someone's kind warmth bringing her back to consciousness.
Tenjou's P.O.V.
"Damn. Why do weird things always seem to happen to me when I'm here?" I had been staring out the window for a while now. I turn my head towards the kid and think over all I had done for her, to make sure that there was nothing else I could do.
"Let's see… I brought her here to only discover that she had a fever. So I put in the bottom bed of the bunk bed, with lots of blankets and a washcloth saturated with cold water, on her forehead. Then I called the school nurse to ask what else I could do… …I can only get to that part when 'Reboreusu' wakes u-" I stop talking when I hear moaning coming from the girl. She begins to toss and turn while crying, in the bed. I run over to restrain her trembling body. I shake her a little in hopes of waking her up.
When she finally claims down, she opens her sad eyes to look straight into mine.
"Utena" She states or questions me. I nod my head at her in reply. She then warps her arms around my waist, hugging me, while sobbing into my torso.
"Shi' shi'! * " I say, as I put a hand on her back, rubbing her back in hope in claiming the smaller girl. When her sobs and shudders finally subside, she and I let go of each other. We both stand beside the bunk. (Translation *: 'Hush hush.')
"Nani?" I ask as she proceeds to sink to the ground and kneel before me.
'What the hell? What in hell is happening here?' I couldn't understand what was going on. Reboreusu elevates her head at my position. She then mumbles something in another language.
'Great, yet another language that I can't- ... ... ... What the HELL?! I I uu- understand it! Aaaa. I need lay down and get some sleep.' I rub my head since I was, at last, developing a headache from all that had happen during this eventful night.
"Tenjou Utena. My body will collapse again very soon so I'll make this quick. I'm here to help you for the time being. I don't know how long and what for, but I do know this: I will have a similar fate to yours, having to do with the Gates of Revolution, but with major different factors. You must never say the exact name 'Revoleus' out loud; otherwise my subconscious will take total control of me & I'm not sure what would happen… Utena I-" her eyes begin to shine like the night Moon outside. I stare in shock at her, as she says all of this.
"I promise be loyal to you forever. I admire you… And you… you… remind me of-" Her body inconveniently gives weigh to her fatigued since it had just been in the course of a fever. I pick her up and lay back on the bed. I then climb up the side of the bunk and go to sleep with all that has happened.
Later when I woke up, she was gone.
Revoleus' P.O.V.
I woke up that morning to an unfamiliar bed and room. I try remembering what happened last night, but I am stuck with mostly dizziness. I stand up and look around the room. I can see Tenjou sleeping peacefully even though it was slightly difficult since I'm so damn short. I stare at her for a few minutes. I then feel… aaaaa…. Nature's call and walk out the room looking for another. Oops…
"I'm lost. Hehe ^_^; I feel really stupid." I begin to rub my head in embarrassment. Turn my head a few times, looking for the hall back to Tenjou's room. I hear footsteps coming towards my direction. Tenjou then appears running down the hall, to me.
"Where do you think you're going?" She was shaking her finger at me. She seemed angry with me.
"But-" I try to explain, but am only interrupted by my Shisou.
"I was worried. You could've collapsed again for all I knew!" She was scolding me, but was glade that I was fine.
"But Shi-" I try again and fail again.
"'But' nothing. Where were trying to go?" She frowns at me.
"I reeeaaaallly needed to use a toilet. I haven't gone since before I got here. ^_^;" 'NOW I FEEL REALLY STUPID.' Tenjou face-faults to the floor.
"This going to be very interesting." Tenjou begins to laugh.
*End of Chapter 1*
