Chapter Fourteen- Burning freely
"Hikari," Bakura screamed, the paled haired Egyptian could hear
his friend scream that. He couldn't believe that this was Rei, sure they
had argued lots when he had been Usagi but... she hadn't been a monster
like this.
As the fire hit and covered him he stayed still not bothering to
do anything, he smirked as the fire fizzled finally away from him.
"Nice fire," he said in an amused voice, fire couldn't hurt him
and it hadn't even singed his cloaked.
Mars looked at him in a shock and amazement, the look quickly took
to anger then to rage. He knew that she was very angry towards him, here
he was stopping her from evil after all.
'Now what is wrong with her' he thought, his eyes hidden by the
robes hood glowed a soft soothing gold color as he studied mars aura.
'By the pyramids, what kind of creature would replace a heart
crystal with an orb of darkness in someone' Hikari thought in surprise,
this also brought to his mind on where the two lunarian cats were... the
inners hadn't killed them had they.
All this had taken less then a split second and it disgusted him,
this person in front of him had once been one of the warriors of the
planet who had pure hearts.
His hands clenched angrily, he could not let this darkness
continue. Mercury he had been unable to save since at that moment
earlier today many of his powers had yet to return, he still didn't have
many powers back yet... but hopefully what he planned would work.
"If you wish to fight me maiden of fire, meet me in Domino park in
two minutes," he said calmly, she nodded and she vanished in a flash of
dark energy.
"Hikari," a soft voice said, Hikari turned to see Bakura climb out
of a hiding spot.
"Yeah Bakura," he said, Bakura frowned.
"Be careful, I don't want to loose you again," Bakura said, Hikari
nodded and soft gold light began to surround his body.
"I'll be careful, tell Kage and yami that I'll be at the park," he
said, Bakura nodded and Hikari teleported in a flash of golden light.
***
Mars smirked as she appeared in Domino park, it was empty of
people except herself at the moment. Suddenly a soft flash of golden
light gained her attention, turning to look at it she saw that it was
the cloaked figure that had saved the teen in the store.
"So, you decided not to run away but to die," she hissed, the
cloaked person gave a soft snort.
"I didn't come here to die Mars, just to end your darkness," he
said, Mar gave a chilling laugh... destroy her would he.
"End my darkness, ha that's a laugh," she crowed, she called fire
up in the palm of her hand.
"I don't know how you survived my darkness but it ends now, no one
can defeat a dark senshi," she smirked, to her surprise the cloaked
person pulled a hood down revealing a young face... yet very old eyes.
"Yet Mercury was defeated, and it was not the outer scouts who
defeated her," he said calmly, Mars growled realizing what he had said.
"You defeated her, how could a measly little worm like you defeat
Mercury!" she demanded, the boy didn't answer but he did remove his
cloak.
To her surprise he wore ancient Egyptian clothing under it, the
most noticeable thing about the clothing was a strange eye design on
them.
"Answer me," she growled, the boy sighed and looked at her with
blue eyes that seemed so familiar but she just couldn't place.
"Fight me and see," was all he said, enraged to the point beyond
sanity by these words (hey evil seem to have a low boiling point) she
leapt towards him her fist ready to knock that smile off his face.
"..." She said in surprise, instead of hitting him she found him
holding her fist back without any strain.
Growling she cocked her other fist and punched at him again, he
caught it just as easily. Knowing that this would be no good she tried
to pull away from him, to her shock she found that in fact she could not
move away.
Looking at the pale haired teen she saw that he wasn't smiling
now, he looked at her with those familiar looking eyes that she couldn't
seem to place.
"It won't do any good to struggle Rei, I am stronger then you...
even with your powers," he finally said, at those words Mars stopped and
stared at him in shock. How had this upstart known her true name, none
had called her that since the day she had become evil.
Once again she found herself staring into those deep blue eyes of
hers, they seemed to draw her in and she couldn't seem to resist.
"Let me go," she begged weakly, it seemed that he was draining
away all her energy like a Youma would.
"I can't let you go, not when you're trapped in the darkness," the
boy said, suddenly she gasped as she finally remembered who his eyes
reminded her of.
"Usagi?" she said in surprise, but that was impossible... this
Egyptian could not be the princess. Finally she felt herself falling
forward, then she also fell into unconsciousness.
***
A group of four ran through the streets of Domino, Bakura had told
them where Hikari was Battling Sailor Mars. At the head of the group was
Kage with everyone else in tow, his eyes were filled with worry for his
koi.
'Please Hikari be okay, I can't loose you again' he thought, an
image from his memory flashed across his mind.
Hikari laying limp on the ground dead and blood pooling around
him, no one knew how Hikari had been killed that day (hmmm... that sound
like a sequel to this series).
"I see the park," Yugi called, they nodded and ran faster even
though it tired them all out.
***
Hikari sighed in relief as Mars fell unconscious and limp in his
arms, focusing his power he undid the transformation and she soon wore
normal clothing again.
Licking his lips slightly nervously he slowly lowered Rei to the
ground and sat beside her, he took a deep sigh before he began. When he
had held her fists he had cast a sleep spell over her, she would now
sleep for as long as he needed her.
'Okay, I have her now to begin' he thought closing his eyes, he
shivered slightly for his Egyptian clothing was definitely not warm
enough for the Japanese Climate.
'I'll change back later, but for now I have to concentrate on Rei'
he thought, taking a deep breath he began to concentrate.
***
Kage came to an abrupt stop as he finally found Hikari, his eyes
widened as he came apon this scene. There was Hikari looking... well hot
in his ancient Egyptian clothing, laying beside the Egyptian was the
Sailor Senshi mars in normal clothing.
Hikari was glowing a soft golden color and slowly that glow was
covering Mars, from where Kage stood he could see Hikari chanting something that was probably a spell of some type.
"Yami, what is he doing?" Yugi asked finally, the darker half of
the spirit walked up till he stood beside Kage a frown visible on his
face.
"I think he's casting a spell, a pretty powerful one two if its
taking this much of his concentration," Yami explained to his light,
Kage nodded in agreement.
"Last time I saw him this focused on a spell was when he actually
somehow brought someone back from the dead, but I wonder what he is
doing," Kage said, straining his ears he could catch a few of the words
and they were of no language he recognized or knew of.
"Kage, what language is that?" Bakura asked, he shrugged and when
everyone looked at Yami they saw that he didn't know either.
"Whoah!" Bakura gasped as something suddenly happened, Kage could
only agree with the amazement he felt from the others.
As he watched dark energy welled up from mars chest and formed
into a glowing ball. It was mainly black with an outer shell of blue-
black light, it sent chills through him.
"What in the world is that!" Yugi said, it reminded him of an orb
made out of darkness... it was actually pretty freaky to think about.
'Even the shadow realm and games feel less evil, that energy just
feels plain wrong' Kage thought frowning, then a gold light lit up the
are and he had to shield his eyes and so did everyone else.
***
Hikari breathed deeply as he finished the first part of his task,
opening his eyes he sent out his power (the gold light okay) and
shielded the area around Rei and himself.
Now he looked at the orb of dark power that floated above Rei,
this was the true form of the orb of darkness.
'I can feel that her heart crystal was destroyed and replaced with
this, I must somehow recreate a new crystal for her' Hikari thought, as
he thought these thoughts he continued to chant in a language so old
that even Yami and Kage would not recognize.
'Of course, the orb is power but can easily be converted into
other types of energy... even light energy' he thought, he couldn't
believe he hadn't thought of that fact before.
Smirking he reached out a hand and actually grabbed the orb, his
chanting increased as the dark power struggled to get away from him.
'Not likely, even if it got help it couldn't get away' Hikari
thought, suddenly the dark orb converted into a beautiful white-silver
orb of light.
Hikari nodded and pushed harder with his power, sweat poured down
his face as he came to the hardest part... creating the heart crystal.
"Rei, its time to be free," he whispered in ancient Egyptian, in
his hands the energy finally changed and turned into a fragile looking
heart crystal but he knew that it would grow stronger.
Lowering his hand the crystal lowered with it, he sparkled with a
pure light that all humans had. He knew that the senshi had never been
human even after being reborn in this time, but he still didn't have his
full powers back yet so he could only create a human heart crystal at
this time.
'Rei will be human but she will be free of this evil for eternity
now' Hikari thought with a weak smile, with his powers returning slowly
from his awakening and rebirth he was still only at half power so this
made him very tired.
Finally the crystal seemed to disappear into Reis chest, he gave a
sigh of relief before he began a new chant that seemed to echo in the
air around him.
'Powers of time and space grant me this, give back to this child
what was taken for her by the darkness' he thought as he chanted, he
knew that if he didn't hurry that the golden shield he had placed around
Rei and himself would fail. With the power around him at the moment that
was dangerous, it would not be a pretty picture.
Finally the final part of the spell took affect, he smiled as
magical red fire surrounded Rei. He felt no fear as it seemed to char
the woman in front of him into energy, he knew what was about to happen.
Suddenly the fire turned white and for a few moments the magical
energy inside it reminded him of ancient Egypt... a home he loved but he
could never return to.
"Return to what you were," Hikari whispered in Japanese, the white
light flashed filling his shield with light energy.
Then the light was gone and a new figure lay where the woman had
lay, a girl of his own (or at least his bodies age) lay there.
Suddenly her eyes fluttered and Opened, violet eyes looked around
bewildered and a hint of fear in them. He smiled softly at her when her
eyes rested on him, he knew who lay in front of him.
"The evil is gone from inside of you Rei Hino, you are a normal
human now," he told her, quickly the raven haired girl broke out crying
in relief allowing out the griefs she had felt under the dark orbs
power.
As she cried he gathered his power and pulled in back into him,
finally the golden shield around them flickered out of existence.
Exaustion once again caught up to him that day, once when he had
destroyed Mercury and now when he had restored Mars to the way she once
was and replacing her heart crystal.
"I... " he said, he would of finished that sentence but his eyes
rolled back and he passed out in exaustion.
"Hikari," Kage called, that was the last thing he recalled.
***
Rei gasped as her savior suddenly passed out, her eyes widened as
his strange clothing blurred and changed into that of a school uniform...
the same uniform two people were wearing and running towards her.
"Kage, is he okay?" a pale haired boy asked a boy who looked
exactly the same as himself, she guessed they were twins.
The other two were clearly brothers, but they couldn't be twins
because while almost identicle one was as small as a child.
The one who had been called Kage quickly checked out her savior,
he gave a small smile and sighed in relief.
"He's fine, just passed out from exaustion... after all he just used
his powers in a big way," Kage said, the other teens sighed in relief.
"Excuse me?" she said, she was confused at all this... all she
clearly remembered were the evil capturing her and a few flashes of
memory from when she had been under the dark orbs power.
"Yes?" the one that looked like a child asked, she bit her lip
nervously and stood up on wobbly legs.
"Who are you all, and who's he... the one that saved me?" she asked
pointing to the fainted pale haired teen, the four other teens looked at
each other nervously.
"We should discus this elsewhere, we'll answer your questions as
soon as Hikari wakes up," Kage said, as she watched he gently picked up the
unconcious who she guess must be Hikari.
"I guess, can you tell me where I am... and what year it is?" she
asked adding the last part at last thought, in truth she had no idea of
how much time had passed since the dark orb had taken over her body and
mind.
The taller spiked haired boy told her and the world seemed to spin
around her, so much time had passed... and what had happened to Usagi who
she had pledged to guard.
'I have to find Usagi and beg for forgiveness, I cannot forgive
myself for the evil I have done' the shinto priestest thought sadly, she
had much to make up for from what she remembered when she had been evil.
But she couldn't shake the feeling that Usagi was nearer then she
thought, but of where the odango haired princess could be she had no
clue.
***
"She failed," he snorted, the corrupted earth prince looked in
disgust at the remaining dark senshi. Only two remained, if they failed
in there objective he himself would have to find Serenity and drag her
back.
First he would make her bring back the dark senshi with her
powers, it would make her very weak but he could use that to his
advantage.
"Sir," a voice behind him said, turning he saw that it was one of
the demons of this dark place.
"What is it!" he demanded in a snarl, the demon looked at him
unmoved by his anger.
"The moon cats have escaped their confinement, they've gone to
find Serenity," the demon said, he turned and swore.
With the moon cats helping Serenity would have better chances
against him, that meant tomorrow that he would have to send both senshi
to capture the runaway princess before those two pets could find her.
"Venus, Jupiter," he said, two females walked into sight there
eyes dark and a sneer on there faces.
"Yes," they said, he smirked, Usagi may have been able to beat a
senshi one on one but one on two she would fail.
"Tomorrow you will head to Domino City in Japan, that was where we
last felt Mars energy. There you will search for the princess and
capture her alive, we need her alive to get what we need," he ordered
the two, the two nodded and seemed to melt into the shadows.
'Soon, soon I will have all I want' he thought, he then laughed
evilly.
