Chapter 28: A Trap; Part 4...
~/Venus\~
:;"Who...";:
"I am Celine`." the woman replies, "And this... this is where you were imbued with the power of light."
"Imbued?" questions Venus.
"Yes. Each senshi was imbued at a certain age with the elemental affiliation of their innate power." Celine` responds, "Now, regrettably, I must face you in battle, Lady Venus." she draws out a whip of light and cracks it toward Venus, who evades it.
"Why do we have to fight?" Venus asks, "You don't seem like one of Hariel's lackeys."
"It is fate." Celine` says, simply, "All things are controlled by the fate written by the Eternals."
Venus dodges another crack of her opponent's whip, "You mean, Even though you don't want to, you'll fight me... just because it's fate?!" another attack by Celine` knocks Venus to the ground.
"Of course." Celine` replies, "What about you? Are you not here because you believe the battle with Hariel is inevitable? How about that you are in love with one who was willing to sacrifice lives to insure fate remained on course?" she cracks her whip again at the downed Venus.
Venus rolls out of the way and fires a 'Cresent Beam Smash!' through her opponent's chest. Celine` falls as Venus gets up. Venus runs over to her and lifts her upper body in her arms.
"You are still... as beautiful as the first time I saw you, Lady Venus." Celine` says, smiling faintly.
"How is it, that you know me?" asks Venus, "And, Why do you call me 'Lady Venus'?"
"We... We grew up together, as friends. There was no reason for us to... to see the difference, that you were a princess and I... I was merely a member of your court." Celine` explains, "I developed feelings... for you. But, I knew you were.. were too good for me. I knew... I could never be more than your... your friend." she stops to cough, "Even so, When Hariel showed me you... and Pluto... I-I felt jealous and, that is... how I ended up fighting with you..." she continues, "It... was not merely because of fate." she coughs again.
"Are you still jealous?" Venus asks.
"No. In fact, I am... happy for you and she." Celine` replies, her breaths beginning to slow, "Now, Lady Venus, You must proceed and... stop Hariel... uhhh..." her eyes close as her head drops forward, then her body vanishes from Venus' arms. Then, After a few moments, Venus continues through the door that's provided for her.

Ramblings: Well, I gotta separate the characters' battles, so I can give them all a chance in the spotlight, eh? See you next time.
