Everyone becomes silent as realisation blows across the yard like an arctic wind.
Selene has stopped breathing.
The sailor scouts, gundam pilots, white lights and Selene's brothers' make a circle around her. The only person not in the circle is Heero, who is passed out on the ground a few metres away.
The silence is broken by Hotaru's quiet sobbing. Kellion grips her shoulders briefly before turning to Heero.
"I can still help this one." he says walking towards Heero's now peaceful form.
Scorperian is the next to break away from the circle. "We can still help Selene. Kellion, can you bring him back to us?" motioning to Heero.
"We will need his help, he must have been very close to our sister, or else Lorienta would not have chosen him. You must allow us to use dark magic, it is the only way. We must not let Lorienta win this time."
Avian, the leader of the white lights steps forward to reply to Scorperian.
"I knew you would make this offer and I must accept it. Today was not Selene's time. You will need another to form your star. Allow me to take part."
Xavier speaks aggressively, "We will need the blood of the murderer. I will draw some blood."
Standing quickly, Kellion realises the threat in Xavier's voice "You want more than Heero's blood, I cannot allow it, you cannot harm one to bring back another."
Some realisation has managed to come through to Heero's eyes that are almost invisible in his face, which is so contorted with pain.
"I will give you as much blood as you need." Heero says shakily taking his knife from his pocket and slicing his forearm.
Airethian steps closer to Kellion and Heero "If it wasn't for the promise Selene made us make, you'd be bleeding a great deal more than that right now…"
Xavier appears to agree with this "Nothing, not even my promise to Selene could stop me from killing you right now, Heero, only the fact that we need you to bring her back."
Scorperian takes charge of the quickly escalating situation. Heero has been allowing his arm to bleed into a bowl. Scorperian now takes that bowl off him and turns to his brothers and Avian, "You know where you need to be standing." and to Kellion "Help his hand, that must have hurt a great deal."
Scorperian sprinkles blood in a pentagram shape around Selene's unmoving form.
The three brothers, Heero and Avian stand at each corner of the pentagram.
To Heero and Avian Scorperian says "Repeat after us, do as we do"
"Fire, Water, Wind, Ice and Earth
Return The Balance
Bring Our Loved One Back To Us
Bring The Light Back To Our Life."
The five warriors chant this incantation five times when the pentagon suddenly catches alight. The five warriors step outside of their corners and chant the incantation twice more, the flames die down. Selene is in a different position and the blood has disappeared from her jacket. She yawns and stretches out, before settling in a more comfortable form of the position she was just in.
Selene opens her eyes and yawns. Looking directly at Scorperian she says sleepily "Took you long enough!"
"We had to make sure you had pointy ears and a tail when you woke up…" he replies softly.
