Children of an angel, the next story
Chapter 9: the truth
Goku put a hand on her shoulder and the duo disappeared. They reappeared in a large room. It was white and covered with balconies on the sides, like an meeting room.
In the middle of the room stood the seer. She smiled when she saw the two.
"Eighteen" Goku started "this is where all of your questions will be answered, are you ready for the truth?".
Eighteen nodded.
"Welcome angel-child, I suppose you would like some knowledge?" the seer asked.
"Yes"
"What would you like to know?"
"Everything" Eighteen simply answered. "What or who was I, before I became an cyborg? Who was my father? Who are these angels? How could I invoke such an powerful attack? I feel like most people know more about me then I do."
"That last thing isn't true angel-child. Only I and you're father know that. Goku has SOME knowledge, but he barely knows anything."
"Just tell me what I want to know". Eighteen said.
"We must travel to hell for that" the seer said.
"Hell?" Goku asked.
"Yes, I'll take us there" the seer said. She snapped her fingers and immediately the surroundings changed. Instead of a pure white room, Goku, the seer and Eighteen where now in a dark place.
The temperatures where unnatural, not cold, not hot, they where just terrible. Smoke was everywhere.
"This is hell?" Eighteen asked.
"Yes" was the seers answer.
"What are we doing here?" Goku asked.
"Follow me"
Goku and Eighteen followed the seer trough the terrible place, they where stared at by the guardians. Some of them started to whisper when they saw Eighteen.
"So that's her huh?"
"Yeah, she saved the universe."
"Heard she used to be evil."
Like that the gossiping continued. After a while Eighteen gave an evil glare, that shut them up. "Is it me, or am I not very popular here?" Eighteen asked.
"You are a strange being angel-child, they know very little about you so they're slightly afraid" the seer answered.
"Where are we going?" Goku asked.
"The cells of hell, we're almost there" was the answer from the seer.
Eighteen said nothing, she was just looking around, she started to hate the place more and more every second she was here.
"This is it" the seer said. The trio had stopped in front of a large building. It did looked like some medieval dungeon, only a lot bigger. In front of it stood two guards, both of them big and very armed.
"We wish to speak to a prisoner" the seer said.
One of the guards nodded, he obviously had a certain respect for the seer because he wasn't asking any difficult questions. Slowly one of the large doors started to open, and the seer, Eighteen and Goku walked in.
They continued to walk trough the large halls for a while, but suddenly the seer stopped. "Here it is" she said.
She opened a door and a cell was revealed. Inside it was a man. He was chained to the wall, his clothes where filthy and torn, his hair was short, blond, and a mess. He looked like he had been here for a long time.
"What has he done to deserve this?" Goku asked.
"He fell in love" the seer said.
"Jonathan" she continued. "We're here".
"Seer" the man began in a weak voice "I missed you, who are these people?".
"Eighteen and Goku, I would like to introduce you to Jonathan, an angel who received a punishment he never deserved". The seer spoke. "And Jonathan these two have saved the universe, the man is Goku, the girl is Eighteen, she is your daughter Crystal".
A long silence followed. Goku stared at the man open mouthed, Eighteen stared at the man as if he where a ghost. And the man looked at Eighteen as if she was a ghost. Well, technically she WAS but you get the point.
"Crystal?" the man whispered. "My daughter, is it really you?" his voice was so soft that it didn't sound human. It carried so many emotions inside it.
"I don't know you" Eighteen said.
"Your memories are gone angel-child, but this IS you're father" the seer said.
"Not all my memories are gone" Eighteen said.
"The ones you need to remember him are" the seer said.
"What happened to you Crystal?" the man asked. "I recognise you, you must be my daughter, I know you are. But what happened?"
"I'm not to sure myself" Eighteen said in a soft voice.
"I can bring your memories back angel-child" the seer said. "I posses the power to do that, and I am authorized to do it".
Eighteen looked at the strange woman amazed. "You can make me remember my entire past again? Every memory that Gero took from me?"
"Yes, would you like me to?"
"YES"
"Very well, Eighteen I must ask you to kneel and close your eyes" the seer said. Eighteen obeyed, she knelt before the seer and closed her eyes. She was a little tense but mostly very excited. The seer placed a finger on Eighteens forehead. She whispered a few words in a language that sounded like Latin.
A small light started to appear on the end of the seers finger. Suddenly the seer practically screamed the words and the light entered Eighteens head. Eighteen gave a yell and fell back. With her hands she held her head, as if she wanted to get something out.
After a while, she relaxed. Her eyes opened themselves and she looked around as a newly born would do. At first she wanted to smile, then she wanted to cry, then she was scared. It was eerie to see. It was like all the emotions Eighteen had inside of herself, had to come out at once.
"Relax angel-child" the seer said "all of the emotions that have been locked inside of you need to come back, and that's rough".
"Eighteen" Goku said in a worried tone "Are you alright?".
Eighteen nodded, "Yes, I'm fine" her voice sounded like a whisper "I... I remember, everything. I remember mom, and Ric, and Matthew, and dad" she pronounced the word dad so softly that it could barely be heard.
"You died dad....why did you left?" Eighteen asked the man in the cell.
"I never died honey, I was already dead. I was an angel, they brought me back, and punished me" the man answered. "Oh Crystal honey, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. I missed you so much".
"How long have you been here?" Eighteen asked.
"About over a hundred years now I guess, don't know exactly" was the answer.
"Are you coming out soon?"
"No Crystal, they locked me in for 250 years."
"I'm getting you out" Eighteen said, her voice finally had its usual power back.
"You can't" the seer said. "The court is powerful, they'll never let him out"
"So?" Eighteen asked. "I'm powerful to, and I will not let my dad stay here for another minute"
"Crystal, honey, please listen to me. You know nothing about the court. They OWN this universe. If they find out about you, they might kill you."
"I'm already dead" Eighteen replied.
"You don't understand Crystal, they're very powerful. They could make you well.... gone... and I mean they could make you stop exist."
"Dad, I can't leave you here, I'm going, don't worry. Bringing back my memories also thought me something else".
"What's that?" the seer asked.
"It thought me my powers" Eighteen replied. Immediately a light started around her and she vanished.
"Where is she?" Goku asked.
"She's at the court" the seer replied. "I can sense her".
"She's going to get herself in serious trouble" Jonathan said worried about his daughter.
"I wouldn't say that so fast Jonathan" the seer said "She IS very powerful".
Inside the same room where she left with the seer and Goku Eighteen reappeared again. Only this time the room was filled with people. Well, people, creatures was a better way of describing them. Everyone in the room stared at Eighteen curiously, angry, afraid, arrogant or what so ever.
"So, you are the court, I'm here to tell you something" Eighteen said in a deadly tone.
