Chapter 8.
Helios gently lowered Rini onto the nearest cot. Darien came, seeing how she
was. "Thank you, all of you," he said, before he bent down and examined Rini's
wounds. "How's...how's mom?" Rini asked. "She's fine. She was so worried when
she found out what you did," Darien said, his voice firm. "I'm sorry, dad..it's
just..." Darien nodded, letting her know he understood. Helios helped Hotaru get
Thomas onto another cot. Luna came and examined him. Rini heard her whisper to
darien. "I'm afraid his wounds are quite...critical." At those words, Rini tried
sitting up, but halfway there, she fell back dizzy. "Whaaaat? All she did was
kick him," Hotaru whispered. "yes, but the empress is quite powerful, i'm
afraid," came the reply.
Helios came beside Rini. Rini was shocked at how much he had grown. He was as
tall as her father now. "Will you be alright? I have to alert Queen Mina that
her son is wounded," he said. "Thomas...is he ok?" Rini asked weakly. Helios
smiled and stroked her hair. "he'll be fine." He stood and ran outside. Rini
looked to her side, Thomas was unconsious.
~ NORTH BATTLE FEILD~
Mina flashed another beam of light on one soldier, who was coming her way. The
others kept firing and shooting out their powers. "Queen Mina!" Mina turned at
the sound of her name, and saw Helios. "What are you doing here?!" she shouted
over the noise. "Thomas is wounded, highness," Helios said, after he had bowed.
"Oh my ***, is he alright?" Mina forgot the soldiers for a moment. "He'll be
fine as soon as Luna medicates him," helios replied. "Ok, i'll be there as soon
as this is over! Soldiers are appearing in the south!" Mina returned to blasting
the enemy. Helios nodded, and ran back.
"Mom....." Thomas groaned. Hotaru, Darien and Luna had already revived the
other scouts and they all were either hovering around Thomas,or Rini. "Sshh,
Thomas. Mom will be here soon," Ginny soothed her brother's hair, trying to hide
her tears. Sanora put a hand on her shoulder. "It's so hard. It's just so hard
to see him suffer!" Ginny cried. Sanora hugged her while Ginny sobbed. Hotaru
sighed, and turned back to Rini, putting ointments onto her wounds. Helios ran
back in and said, "Soldiers in south battlefeild!" then ran back outside. The
scouts ran out, except for Ginny. Thomas was still groaning. "No, don't go. I
want mom..." he was begging. "I have to, Thomas. Don't worry, i'll be back.
Meanwhile sleep and wait for mom," Ginny patted his hand and ran outside, after
Luna had assured her that she would take care of him. Rini tried standing. "Have
to go help..." Luna rushed to her side. "No, Rini! You're too weak to fight! The
ointments will take effect in a few minutes,!
just be patient," Luna gently pushed her back down.
~South battlefield~
"Ok, so where are they?" Aphrodite(Ginny) scanned the empty grounds. "I don't
know..." Helios replied. "Ow!" Deimos(Faye) suddenly fell backwards, as if an
invisible hand had pulled her down. Before Caloris could put on her computer
goggles, she was punched in the stomach. "Ah!" She fell, groaning. They were
suddenly attacked by invisible soldiers, everywhere. Sanora managed to press her
earring and aactivated her goggles. "Look behind you! They're all positioned
there! You're all looking the wrong way!!" they turned, and started shooting at
nothing. Screams were heard from the invisible soldiers, as they collapsed onto
the ground. Helios transformed into a unicorn and started using his horn in
defense.
~Palace~
Servants bustled everywhere, taking care of wounded soldiers that were
scattered around the crystal palace. Darien sighed and closed his heavy eyes. He
turned around and started for the exit. He knew the empress was waiting for him.
After he had told Luna he would be helping the others, he ran out.
The empress stood, smiling. "I know you've come for me, now take me!" darien
took his wand and shot at her. Lady ote halted the attack and kicked him. Darien
staggered. "Ote! You will be gentle with him at ALL times!" the empress scolded.
Ote growled and stepped back. "Thank you for your willingness," the empress
smiled, and shot an electric bolt at him. Darien disappeared, just as Luna was
coming out. "Oh no! The king!" she whispered. Then, she ran back into the
palace, ready to alert the others.
Helios gently lowered Rini onto the nearest cot. Darien came, seeing how she
was. "Thank you, all of you," he said, before he bent down and examined Rini's
