Chapter 8
Cassie could feel her soul start to wander through an unfamiliar place she couldn't quite describe. Suddenly, she knew she was dying. Cassie didn't feel anymore pain. All she wanted to do was leave this world and move on to the next. Everything was full of life and light. So calm, so peaceful....
"CASSIE!" Someone shouted. Then she felt a sharp pain on her face. Suddenly the painful feeling returned. All of her body was in massive amounts of pain. She groaned and opened her eyes weakly. She blinked as her eyes adjusted to the light and saw Yakko, holding her. Cassie looked up at him; he looked like he was going to slap her. So that's how he woke me up, she thought. He slapped me. She looked around. She was in the same room as before. But she was no longer hooked up on the wall. Everything came back to her in a rush. She looked around and saw Kirk. Her face suddenly twisted into anger. Yakko saw this. " No," He whispered. " He has your necklace, we can't risk attacking him with your necklace." " I don't care." Cassie growled. " He is going to pay." "Cassie no!" Yakkos voice seemed urgent, "Were in more trouble than you know." He pointed behind him and she saw Justice. Zack was watching her while Yakko held Cassie. Cassie wasn't sure what to do. They were trapped. Justice looked over at Cherry. It looked like she was sending her a silent message. Cherry immediately went over to Zack and hit him hard below his stomach. Zack bent over in pain, then Cherry sent a massive blow to his head. Zack went down. " No!" Yakko half said, half yelled. Kirk saw this too. His eyes suddenly gleamed with rage. "Justice!! Stop this nonsense!!! I am in control here not you!!!!!!! You lost your chance to get rid of the Warners!" She seemed to almost be glowing red now. "No one gives me orders Kirk... You should have learned that when you fell down with that building!" Something shiny caught Cassie's eye. She saw on Justice's wrist was the Topaz stone Harmony had worn. Cassie's heart sank. She remembered that stone. a flashback came to Cassie:
Sunshine turned to the first person she could, it was Cassie. Cassie looked at her and Sunshine pulled out Harmony's gem bracelet. "Take it." Sunshine said softly. "In case I don't make it out of this." "But." Cassie started, before she could protest further Sunshine had put it in her hand and closed it.
Cassie remembered after the near encounter with Justice Cassie had dropped the bracelet. Cassie knew now that she was the cause of this. She had to stop all this pain. Justice and Kirk were facing off while Justice sent Cherry and Emerald after Cassie and Yakko. Yakko stood to fight. He knew Cassie was too weak to fight without her crystal. Heck, Cassie could hardly stand up! Cassie was on her knees. "Yakko...no..." "Cassie don't stop me I wont let them hurt you." Emerald and Cherry both started to glow, their powers were increasing. Cherry raised her arms and suddenly there was a large rumbling sound and the ground around them started to tremble. Sprouts burst from under the concrete into the room they were in. Cassie cried out as one wrapped around her. Yakko tried to fight them off but was also caught in the vines. Yakko tried to gasp in air as the vines squeezed tighter. Zack by now had woken up and was attempting to fight Emerald. Cherry was having fun playing with Cassie and Yakko as less air entered their lungs.
Aqua was looking through a window as this went on. She closed her eyes. "Aqua?! What are you waiting for? Get your keester in there!" Lavender ordered. "I....I cant.. I'm scared Lavender." "Aqua, I know you have never been really brave but you have to do this.If you don't everyone will be history. Aqua please, for me, your sister." Aqua looked back into the window, she was trembling but now from anger, not fear. She started to race into the building when someone suddenly jumped into her way. She gasped and stopped. It was the Caster. The fairly old man looked at Aqua with a blank face. He looked very much older than when she last saw him. "Don't try to stop me." Aqua warned. "I'm not.." The Caster said tiredly. " Aqua I wont last much longer.. I need to tell you something." Aqua looked impatient. "Fine but make it fast!" "Aqua, did you ever wonder why I gave you your powers?" "To get revenge?" "No to help other people from suffering the same fate you did." "But..." "What Lavender told you was what she wanted.." "He's right Aqua." Lavender sighed. The Caster looked confused, then looked at the globe and turned pale.
"Lavender...your...in...." "Yes yes I'm in the globe!" Lavender sounded annoyed. "So am I!" ringed Amber. "....Amber?!?" The Caster was really shocked. "Continue what you were saying." Aqua said hurriedly. "Well..Aqua, you're the only one who really did use them for the right reason, which is why your powers will be permanent. But...if you continue to have the orb.in your possession, the others will have their magic as well." He looked at the orb uneasily. "But I guess I can stop trying to talk you into destroying the orb." Aqua was really mad. "Yeah, and get out of my life too!" She rushed past him and into the room where the chaos was.
Yakko struggled to stay conscious. He knew he had to do something before he and Cassie both died! Yet he couldn't make any of his limbs obey what he said in his head. If he didn't do something soon, they would both die.
"No!!!!!!!!" a voice exclaimed. Everyone who was conscious turned their attention to the doorway where Aqua stood.
