Trinity of the Heart Part 1

Chapter 10

Maya: What does that mean?! We have no business with you!

Man: Yeah, right, whatever.

Maya: We don't!

Belle: Listen, I can kick your sickly asses from dusk till dawn so let's just skip to the part where you run for cover!

Duke: My acts will destroy you…

Rod: And with my weapons and Maya's magic, you guys would be dead in 3 seconds flat.

Maya: Err, right. Well, just leave us alone.

Girl: We'd love to but we need to hand you over to the Goddess so that we can have more Angels and Puppets.

Man: The more the merrier!

Maya: Puppets and Angels?

Man: Yes, a select few get to be Puppets. You, Maya, will be a Puppet. The rest will be petty Angels.

Belle: Your voice…do I know you?!

Man: Hmm? I don't think so. I remember things that annoy me.

Belle: Well, at least he didn't say I'm ol-

Girl: Plus, you're too young to know my brother!

Belle: (eyes light up) Young?! Did you say I'm young?!

Girl: Yeah! You must be what, 60, 70?

Belle: (eyes narrow) WHAT?!! WHAT DID YOU SAY?!

Girl: (blinks) She's weird…

Maya: You know…I really do think we know you guys…wait…I saw your pictures in a history book! About Aeons!

Man: Yes, you may have. We were once important and powerful.

Girl: Yep, once, key word there.

Maya: I think it said…your name is Toch right?

Toch: Correct!

Maya: I don't remember this young girl's name though…

Girl: How rude! My name is Blue!

Maya: Blue? What kind of name is that?!

Blue: Well, I'll show you why my name's Blue. Toch, let's ditch these disguises!

Blue and Toch clapped their hands. A pink light ring came from the sky and went around them. When it faded, it showed them but Toch was now incredibly handsome and dressed in fine silk robes. Blue was very pretty, with sky blue hair and navy blue eyes. She was wearing pink silk robes.

Blue: See? Blue hair, blue eyes, blue toenails and fingernails. Blue everything!

Toch: You painted your toes and fingers though.

Blue: (hits Toch in the head) Shut up!

Maya: That's very nice. But what do you really want with us?

Toch: Not us babe but Valen.

Maya: Valen?!

Toch: Yeah and he's got your sister too, so come with us or else she'll be sorry…

Belle: What proof do you have?!

Toch pulled out Mint's Duel Haloes. Everyone stared at them. Then Blue pulled out Mint's hairpiece, the one that kept her fuzzies in check. Maya gasped.

Maya: Mint would die before letting anyone take her rings and her hairpiece! You…where is my sister?!

Toch: The same place where you're going. Night night.

Belle: What?

Toch grabbed a few darts from his side pack and threw them at Maya, Duke, Rod and Belle. Each hit them in the arm. Maya grunted.

Maya: What is this…? (faints)

Blue: It's a poison dart. The poison makes you sleep for days.

Belle: Grr…I'll kill you! (faints)

Duke: Milady! (faints)

Rod: Ugh…dammit! (faints)

Toch: Well, that was easy enough!

Blue: Don't get cocky Toch-kun! I would hate to see something bad happen to you!

Toch: Whatever, let's just get these idiots back to Valen. You know, we haven't made out lately!

Blue: Perv, we haven't because we've been busy! And stop what you're thinking right now, we have to get back to Valen. I'm glad Elroy gave me his set of Mint stuff…else we might have had to fight!

Toch: Ah, you're no fun sometimes.

Blue: Duh. Now you grab the guys and I'll carry the girls.

Toch: Ok, that's fair…wait! Why do I have to carry the guys? I wouldn't touch the women in the wrong places!

Blue: (rolls eyes) Sureee you wouldn't…

Toch: (picks up Rod and Duke) I hate you sometimes.

Blue: Yeah, I know. I love you too.

Meanwhile, in Valen's secret hideaway thingy…

Mint: (Ugh…where am I? All I see is black…maybe my eyes are shut? Huh…stupid Osara! She must have done something to me when she froze me! I'll kill her! I hope Rue's ok…he better be after what I just did! Poor Alak for having such a nasty devil child for a sister!....My wrists hurt…Am I…chained to the wall?!)

Male Voice: Hey, Mint, wake up honey!

Mint opened her eyes. She was staring right into her own face. She screamed and tried to back away but she had guessed right: She was chained to the wall.

Mint: AHHHHHH!!!! Who, who the hell are you?!

Other Mint: Hm, well, you're slow aren't you?

Mint: What?!

Other Mint: Think, what did little Osara tell you about your body?

Mint: That, that it was posed by…the Aeon Elroy! You're him?

Elroy: Finally, took you long enough.

Mint: Where am I?

Elroy: Look around. Use your eyes instead of your mouth.

Mint looked around. She was sitting on a grassy floor, with vines used as chains. The walls were made of wood and soil and the door was made of  what looked like water.

Mint: That didn't help me.

Elroy: Oh, well, you're in Valen's new palace, deep underground so that your friends won't come for you.

Mint: Valen? I'm in his castle thing?

Elroy: Yes, you are. Scary right?

Mint: What does Valen want with me?

Elroy: He wants revenge. You and that boy killed him. Err, sort of anyway.

Mint: He's not going to hurt Rue is he?

Elroy: Huh, oh no. He isn't going to touch Rue. You are.

Mint: What?! There's nothing you could do to make me hurt Rue!

Elroy: You're right. Maybe I should rephrase that. I'm going to hurt Rue in your body.

Mint: What?! You can't! Rue isn't stupid! He'd know the difference!

Elroy: You wish. I can act just like you and I'll lure him and Alak here so that Valen can have his revenge. I get to have the honors with Rue and Valen gets you and Alak.

Mint: Whada Alak do?

Elroy: He fought against Valen's uprising. You really have no clue how powerful Alak once was. He could snap his fingers and destroy the world. It just goes to show you how powerful Valen and Osara are.

Mint: Listen, cause I'm only going to say this once: You touch Rue, I don't care where or for what reason, but if you touch him I swear I rip your arms off and beat you to death with them.

Elroy: Haha! A gentle young woman like you making such violent threats?

Mint: Don't push it or you'll be sorry!

Elroy: Hmph. You know, I could kill you right now. Or I could do…anything else I wanted…(touches Mint's arm)

Mint: Yuck!! You're in my body numb nuts! You can't do…that! Ew!

Elroy: You'd be surprised. But anyway, I feel nothing towards you so I wouldn't. Just trying to scare you.

Mint: Whatever…

Elroy: Well, I should leave now. I have to tell Valen you're up. I'll be back in a few hours with your lunch.

Mint: Valen's going to kill me yet you're going to feed me?

Elroy: Well, I figure, Valen's going to wait until he gets Rue and Alak, so why not feed you? Anything you want?

Mint: (might as well make the best of things until Rue gets here and kicks this idiots ass) Yeah, I'll have anything without pumpkins. I hate pumpkins with a passion.

Elroy: Ok, I hate pumpkins too, so I'll get you something good.

Elroy got up and walked over to the watery door. He smiled and turned around.

Elroy: Oh, by the way, I doubt Rue is going to come here and kick my ass. Though you should make the best of things.

Mint: How, how did you know what I was thinking?

Elroy: I am very powerful. I can do many things. (smiles) See ya later Mint.

Elroy walked through the door and pressed a button on the side. Then he pressed another button and the chains around Mint disappeared.

Elroy: One more thing. I wouldn't try to escape if I were you.

Elroy  left, leaving Mint to sit there thinking.

Mint: Well, this sucks…but I've been in worse! When I was in Aceila it was harder then sitting underground. I wonder…I wonder what Valen's going to do to me?

Mint laid down and sighed.

Mint: Well, not much I can do until I think of a plan. Might as well sleep.

Mint closed her eyes and soon was fast asleep.

Meanwhile, back with Rue, Alak and Osara…

Osara: So, you see, Valen lives in this big, stupid underground place. It's made of all the elements though, so no normal person can enter. Like you guys can't.

Alak: What makes you so different?

Osara: I was infused with the fire element. So I can pass freely.

Rue: Tell me Osara, what do you think Valen's going to do  Mint?

Osara: Hard telling, but…I think he's using her. Right now…

Rue: What do you mean?

Maya: I think I can answer that!

Rue: Maya?!

Osara: Valen!!!
