Ch.6- Day 2. Kristina's Battle and the Familiar Voice
Disclaimer- I don't own Escaflowne, and if I did...Van would be MINE!!!!!!!!!
A/N: Okay, I know that in my last chapter on the list, some of the numbers were kinda screwed up. So, just ignore them. In this story, I DO insult Allen and Millerna (I do NOT like them at all!). Oh, and I am so happy to finally have more reviews (Thank ya lots cheetahchow and AnimeAngel302 for reviewing). R/R please, but no flames.
**************************
The sun rose on Gaea, lighting all of Fanelia. All of Van's servants woke up and started to prepare for breakfast. Merle and Celena woke up to the sounds of the servants, so they decided to sit at the table in the dining room for Van, Allen, and Kristina to wake up. Van felt the morning sun on his face and that was his wake up call. Van sat up and walked into the dining room to wait for Allen and Kristina to wake up.
Allen woke up not long after Van did because of his head. Allen's head ached, but he ignored it. Allen walked into the dining room and sat at the table. 45 min. passed and Kristina still did not come out. 10 min. later, Merle decided to walk to Kristina's room to wake her up. Allen followed.
It took about a minute to get to Kristina's room (which was right above the dining room) and immediately Van heard Merle say, "Allen, for God's sake! Don't do that!" Net a loud punch came from above and Allen screamed. Then Kristina worriedly said, "Oh, sorry. I thought you were...Oh, it's you. Well, that's okay then." "Kristina, breakfast is nearly ready." Merle said. "Okay." Kristina said. Then the 3 of them walked back to the dining room.
When they got there, blood poured out of Allen's nose, Merle sighed, and Kristina smiled. "What happened?" Celena asked, pointing at Allen. "This baka shook Kristina while she slept when I told him not to. So, she punched him and this is what happened." Merle answered. The blood stopped pouring and everyone sat at the table. Kristina immediately took the only seat next to Van.
Breakfast at the castle was a real feast. Large chocolate pancakes, fresh milk and juice, bacon, sausage, and eggs were on many different plates (A/N: I don't know if they have any of those in the TV series, but this is my story and they do have them). Kristina could barely keep her mouth from watering. Everyone ate all they could and relaxed in their chairs, waiting for the food to settle in their stomachs. As she relaxed, Kristina noticed Allen's nose becoming bigger and swollen.
Kristina began to laugh. She laughed so hard that she began to cry. Van turned to her and asked, "What's so funny?" Kristina, still laughing, pointed at Allen's face where his nose was as big as a pinball. Smiles crept across Van, Merle, and Celena's faces as they stared at Allen. Eventually, they broke down into giggles. Even the servants laughed at Allen.
"What's so funny?" Allen asked. "Look...in...the...mirror...." Merle giggled. Allen sighed, got up, walked to a mirror, saw his nose, and screamed like a little schoolgirl. Kristina, Van, Merle, and Celena began to laugh even harder. Allen ran back to his room in humiliation, slamming the door behind him. Nobody even bothered to follow him.
Once everybody was relaxed, Merle and Celena (who were, for some reason, inseparable) walked to the gardens to sit under the sun and around the flowers. Van grabbed Kristina's hand and took her to the top of the castle to work on some dowsing lessons. Kristina wasn't psychic and could not see things that normal people couldn't see, so she had real problems dowsing.
She stood in the same place, clutching the pendant around her neck with her eyes closed for a while, trying to see where Van put a dagger, but saw nothing but darkness. Finally before she was about to announce that she'd quit, a very familiar voice spoke into her head. "Kristina, the dagger is to your left, behind the crate holding shields." The voice said. The voice sounded so young, so innocent, and so familiar, but she didn't know who it was.
"The dagger is behind the crate holding shields to my left." Kristina said with confidence, her eyes still closed. "Excellent," Van said looking at Kristina, "Uh...you can open your eyes now, Kristina." "Oh...okay." Kristina answered, opening her eyes. Suddenly, the voice came back, "You will get 2 harmless and unexpected visitors." "Uh...Van. I have a feeling that we'll get 2 harmless and unexpected visitors." Kristina said, turning to Van.
The sound of horses filled the outside of the castle as a very nicely decorated carriage stopped in front of the castle. Merle and Celena walked to the front of the castle while Kristina and Van ran from their spot at the top.
Once everybody was in front of the castle (except for Allen, who refused to show his face until it recovered completely), the driver of the carriage got up from his spot and opened the carriage door. A 16 year old girl and a 20 year old man walked outside. "Millerna, Dryden. What an unexpected surprise." Van said, faking the best smile that he could (A/N: I don't really know how old Dryden is).
Millerna and Dryden nodded their heads. "Ohayo Gozaimasu Van, Merle, Celena, and Kristina. Kristina, you look a lot shorter than the last time I saw you." Millerna said smiling then frowning at Kristina. "Is that an insult?!?" Kristina angrily asked, clenching her fists. "Oh, gomen, gomen. I didn't mean to insult you." Millerna said nervously. Kristina unclenched her fists and then put on an angelic smile, "Good."
The driver of the carriage stared at Van and asked, "Where's Allen?" Van smiled and said, "Allen is hiding after being attacked by a young girl, Gaddes." Gaddes frowned and asked, "Could someone please get him? I really have to talk to him." "I'll get him!" Celena piped up. She then ran inside of the castle to her older brother's room.
It took a few minutes of arguing, but Celena finally convinced Allen to come outside. The second Allen walked outside, the others broke into giggles. Allen's nose got even more swollen. Now it was the size of a golf ball. It was even red. Allen looked like a blonde haired clown from the Mystic Moon. "I'm sorry Boss, but..." Gaddes started to say. Suddenly, the ground began to shake and giants mechas appeared.
Van and Allen grabbed their swords and got into a battle stance. "Everyone! Stay back!" Van and Allen yelled to the others. Zaibach soldiers hopped out of their melefs and in front of Van, their swords drawn. Almost immediately, swords began hitting each other and blood splattered the ground. Lifeless bodies fell to the ground. Kristina put her hands over her eyes. It was so horrible and she was afraid Van would die.
Van and Allen didn't die and weren't even injured, but 4/5 of the Zaibach soldiers were lying on the ground, dead. The survivors ran into their melefs and prepared to attack. Allen quickly ran to the shed and jumped into Schezarade (A/N: spelling?). Van followed him and jumped into Escaflowne. The melefs began fighting Schezarade and Escaflowne. Only one melef wasn't fighting. Instead, it grabbed Kristina from off the ground.
"Van!" Kristina screamed from the sky. Van stared up into the sky at the girl in the clutches of Zaibach. Van and Allen quickly attacked Zaibach so they could help save Kristina. Only 3 melefs were left: 2 were fighting Van and Allen and one was holding Kristina. Van's soldier became invisible and Van was concentrating on saving Kristina so much that he couldn't see the invisible melef that was just about to attack Van. "The invisible soldier is behind Van." The mysterious, yet familiar voice said to Kristina. "Van! Behind you!" Kristina screamed.
Van quickly turned around and attacked the invisible melef. At the same time, Allen attacked his soldier. Only one melef was left, which was the one holding Kristina. The soldier decided to turn around. It turned and started to run away. "Oh no you don't!" Van yelled. He sliced the melef across the back.
The melef stopped, but didn't let go of Kristina. Van jumped out of Escaflowne to catch Kristina in his arms. Allen ran up to the melef and kept slicing it until the melef finally let go of Kristina and fell the ground, the soldier inside dead. Kristina screamed as she dropped from the sky. She kept screaming until she quit falling.
Van stood under Kristina, his arms held out ready to catch her. He heard her screaming until she fell into his arms. Kristina was shaking as she stared into Van's brown eyes. "Daijoubu desu ka, Kristina?" Van asked. Still shaking, Kristina answered, "H-hai. Y-you saved my life. Arigato." Van hugged her tightly.
Stars then appeared in the sky and Van, Kristina, Merle, Celena, Dryden, Allen, and Millerna went to the dining room for dinner and their rooms for bed. As Kristina lay in her bed, the voice came back, "You did well, Kristina." "What do you mean?" Kristina asked silently in her thoughts.
"You told Van where his enemy was."
"Only because you helped me. Who are you?"
"I can't tell you who I am. Not yet."
"Why not?"
"You'll find out when I show you who I am."
"Do I know you?"
"Yes, very well."
"Can't I just have one clue who you are?"
"Fine, but just one: We've known each other for 10 years."
"That's it?!? Well, when can I see you?"
"When the time is right. I'll show you myself when you won't need me to help you. Now go to sleep Kristina. You have a big day tomorrow."
"You sound like a mother."
"Shut up and go to sleep, Kristina."
"Okay."
Kristina then closed her eyes and fell asleep wondering who the voice was.
End Chapter 6
*****************
A/N: Who is this mysterious voice? If you want to find out, then wait for the later chapters of this story, or you can just guess who it is. It's actually kind of easy if you read some of my earlier chapters. In my next chapter, Hitomi will meet up with that mysterious boy she saw in her vision.
Oh, this is the translation for the Japanese words I used in my story:
baka = idiot
Ohayo Gozaimasu = Good morning
Daijoubu desu ka? = Are you okay?
Hai = yes
Arigato = Thanks
gomen = sorry
R/R please.
