Chapter 8- Vix
The next day came and the gang were already on their way. Moving through the desert as fast as they could before the afternoon came, and it got hotter. No one bothered to speak. The only thing they heard were their feet moving through the sand.
"Hey...umm...Sephiroth," said Kagome. "How far is it to Moon Island?"
He looked straight ahead and kept walking. "Not too far. When we reach the end of the desert; we should see a an ocean. Moon Island is in the middle of the sea."
"I see," she replied. "Do you know where the island is to be exact? Moon Island is in the middle of the sea, but where?"
"Unfortunately the voice didn't tell us," said Kenshin joining in the conversation. "Maybe when we reach the sea; the voice will show up again and give us directions."
"How can you be sure this female's voice is giving us the right directions?" asked Jet. "We all could be heading into a trap..."
Selfina looked up at Jet. "Can you look on the bright side of things for once Jet? I mean not 'everyone' is out to get us."
"Jet has the right to be suspicious," Sephiroth replied. "I didn't trust her at first, but there's something about that girl's voice that's..." He didn't say anything after that.
"What he was going to say is that the voice seems reliable," said Kenshin. "Sephiroth is not use to trusting others. I've been his partner for weeks, and he still doesn't trust me fully."
Sephiroth looked down at him. Kenshin looked back and smiled.
Kagome looked ahead. "Hey, what's that?"
"It looks like an ocean," replied Jet.
"It seems we got here faster than I expected," Sephiroth said.
Everyone began to pick up their pace in walking until they reached the end of the desert and stopped at the sandy beach. The sun beamed on the water as it began to shimmer.
"I never seen an ocean up close," said Kagome with a blink stare.
"Yeah, it's prettier than the oceans on TV," Selfina said.
Sephiroth looked around and frowned.
"You must be thinking exactly what I am," Kenshin said.
"And that would be?" asked Jet. He turned around to face the two.
"The voice told us to come to the ocean," Sephiroth replied. "She didn't tell us how to cross it or where it is for that matter..."
Selfina looked up to the sky. "What the-?"
The others looked up also to see a bright light coming towards them. The light swallowed each of them and they disappeared.
"Where are we?" asked Kagome.
"It looks like The Portal of Light," said Sephiroth.
"Portal of Light?" Selfina asked.
The scenery was just blank. Nothing was around them just white.
Kenshin nodded. "It's sort of like a warp hole. You are standing between the world of the living and the afterlife rather than dead."
Selfina shrugged. "I don't understand, but whatever..."
"Kenshin speaks the truth," said a voice with an echo. "You are in The Portal of Light."
Everyone turned around to see a bright light in front of them.
"That sounds like the voice we heard before," Sephiroth said. "Show yourself whoever you are!"
Someone stepped out of the bright light. It was a young female with long blue hair, big red eyes that seemed blank, and wore nothing except a long white ribbon that covered her.
Selfina looked at her in disgust. "Ew...you're naked.
"Where I come from no one wears clothing," she said. "They feel free without them."
"Right..." said Selfina. "Whatever rocks your boat."
"Enough," snapped Sephiroth. "Tell us who are you, and how did you summon us."
The girl closed her eyes and raised her hands to the sky. "My name is Vix. I am the goddess of light. I've been watching over you five for a while; even before you entered this world."
Above her hands; appeared a crystal like ball. It began to show a picture.
"Who are those people?" asked Jet.
"These are the brave heroes that once saved the galaxy," she replied. "Their names are Kensaku, the once holder of the Reversed Blade. Sabre, the holder of the Cutlass. Rakku, the holder of the Bullseye bow. Kye, the holder of the Airget-lamh B/V2. And Tally, the Masamune holder."
Everyone looked at their weapons they held.
"Before the heroes left back to their worlds; they made a request if I could find five others with the same heart and personality as them, and summon them to fight again if evil decides to come back. And...here you five new heroes are."
Kagome looked up at Vix. "How come they couldn't come back to fight?"
"They lost their memory of ever fighting against the evil," she replied. "Once their memory was lost; they weren't able to come back to this world."
"I see..." said Kenshin. "We have to fight the upcoming threat in order to return to our worlds in request of the others that once fought."
She nodded." Yes, you understand now. The girl who attacked you last night was part of Sesshomaru's plan to stop from reaching Moon Island. It seems he has failed."
"We want to help our friends who have been taken by Sesshomaru," said Kagome. "We'll do whatever it takes."
"I'm not forcing you to do this," said Vix bringing her hands back to her side.
I can take you back to your world, and I can try to stop him on my own."
"No, we want to stay," said Kenshin. "We all want to help you."
Vix smiled. "Thank you all very much. Are you all sure? Once you stepped onto Moon Island; there is no point of return. Are you sure about this?"
Everyone nodded. "Yeah."
"I see," she replied. "Lets begin. The battle that will decide the galaxy's future is coming."
