Warrior of the galaxy Chapter Fifteen Light vs. Darkness

Selene gets up brushing the hair off her face, grabbing Heero's shirt from where it was discarded next to the bed, she drapes it loosely around her body.

Selene walks over to the window and looks out thoughtfully at the gathering clouds.

Heero hops out of bed and pulls on a pair of pants walking to where Selene is standing by the balcony door.

"It looks like a storm is brewing." Heero kisses Selene on the neck.

"Do you want to go back to bed?" Heero asks hopefully, pulling on Selene's hand.

Suddenly trance like, Selene gasps and says, "There is an evil much greater than a storm coming." Selene turns away from the window, no longer trance like.

"Heero, you must gather the others, we must prepare…but first you'd better put a shirt on!"

Selene reaches up to Heero's face and kisses him lightly.

Looking around Heero asks, "Is this Lorienta's return?"

"You better believe it" is Selene's earnest reply.

Heero runs downstairs. At the base of the stairs he yells to Lorethia, "Where is everyone? Selene has announced Lorienta's return, we have to transform…"

Upstairs Selene has gone out onto the balcony and is standing with one hand on the railing. She can feel a very slight tremor in the earth, in the distance dogs all over the neighbourhood have begun to bark. All of the birds in the trees have stopped singing.

Downstairs Airethian appears from another room having heard Heero's announcement.

"So you expect us to believe that you and Selene have been upstairs making battle plans for the past few hours?" Airethian asks maliciously.

Selene appears at the top of the stairs in a knee-length white flared skirt patterned with a trim of blue and pink flowers, and a white off-the-shoulder top.

"Airethian, I will be requiring my boyfriend to remain in one piece, may be you could go easy on him. Stop wasting time. Gather the others, we must transform."

Gundam pilots, dark warriors of the galaxy, sailor scouts and white lights begin appearing in the living room as storm clouds continue to gather outside.
The sailor scouts and Selene transform, the gundam pilots man their gundams.

The earth has begun to shake noticeably, in the distance a hill can be seen growing from the middle of a football field. Lightening is crashing at a rate. The hill erupts into smoke, lava flows up into the air and crashes down into the neighbouring streets.

Unsure what to do the sailor scouts and gundam pilots have scattered themselves around the yard, there is obvious closeness between Sailor Mars and Scorperian, Saturn and Kellion, Uranus and Neptune, Moon and Star Fighter and Galaxos and Heero.

Without direct warning the occupants of the yard find themselves under attack. Black dark energy balls appear from the fence line, all of them aimed at Galaxos.

Galaxos moves fast and dodges all of them, the sailor scouts and crew that have been scattered around the yard, very protectively move towards Galaxos. The brothers see the way the gundam pilots and sailor scouts react to the attack on Galaxos, and realise they can trust these people Selene calls friends.

The house behind Galaxos erupts into flames as the energy balls hit.

The gundam residence is not the only property now ablaze. From the yard, the neighbouring house can be seen flames leaping from all of the windows. A harmless looking old man is running screaming from the porch. A blood stained bunny rabbit appeared to be chasing the terrified looking old man, they disappear behind the garden fence.

Blood begins spraying into the air behind the section of fence where the bunny disappeared. The unmistakable sound of flesh being torn from bone can be heard.

Duo speaks out. "It looked like that bunny just ate that man…"

The white lights, Galaxos and her brothers nod their heads knowingly.

The world is heaving. Another volcano has erupted where the school was moments before, the air is full of ash and smoke, the only illumination coming from strikes of lightening and ferociously burning fires, light from the sun has been totally blocked out by the smoke and ash.

From behind the fence line Lorienta levitates into view, her dark warriors in tow.

"How are you enjoying the show I've put on?" she booms, launching three more energy balls in Galaxos' direction.

The energy balls dissect themselves managing to graze past all of the sailor scouts and gundams, knocking them to the ground. There is smoke and sparks coming from the gundams.

Galaxos' brothers escape harm, so far they have remained unnoticed, they are behind Lorienta and are gathering energy in their hands that form black energy disks.

As they hurl the disks at Lorienta the earth heaves in a massive earthquake, knocking everyone to the ground. It is a consequence of this quake that the disks hurled by the brothers miss Lorienta entirely, instead knocking her dark warriors to the ground where their blood saturates the earth.

Lorienta momentarily turns her attention away from Galaxos and her fallen crew, to launch an attack on the brothers.

One energy ball is enough to see that they will cause Lorienta no trouble for the time being.

Before he hits the ground, Airethian makes eye contact with Heero and mouths "Protect her."

Galaxos' eyes fill up with tears as she watches her brothers fall to the ground. It is now she realises that there is only one way to defeat Lorienta.

"I must take on my true form as protector of the galaxy" she says out loud.

Without further ceremony Galaxos appeals to the galaxy.

"Please lend me the powers of dark and light.

Galaxy sons of darkness and gundam pilots lend me your darkness!

Sailor scouts and white lights, lend me your light!"

As Galaxos is making this appeal, the fallen warriors glow white and black. Suddenly it appears that the dust and ash have disappeared, the Milky Way is somehow visible in the sky, even though the sun is still shinning strong.

For the first time since Lorienta has appeared in this dimension she looks confused, possibly a little scared.

Galaxos levitates to the same height as Lorienta. Lorienta no longer looks as imposing, without her dark warriors.

Lorienta uses her staff to send energy ball after dark energy ball at Galaxos. Lightening weakly illuminates the sky behind her.

With the Milky Way as her backdrop, Galaxos calmly deflects Lorienta's energy balls with waves of her hands. Galaxos has chosen now to speak directly to Lorienta.

"You would have thought that you'd have figured out by now that light always prevails over darkness. You really should re-think the way you treat others. But it's too late for all that now. Not even you can turn back time. I'm so tired of you, and all of your destruction. You have tried to destroy so much of what is mine. I hope you have learned something from all of this Lorienta. You can poses those who I love, but you cannot own the love that we have for each other. I think your time in my galaxy has come to an end. The galaxy will no longer yield to your power."

As Galaxos finishes speaking, she draws her hands up to chest height, a ball of light that resembles a swirling ying yang is growing in her hands.

"Farewell Queen of Darkness!"

With a motion her brothers would have been proud of seeing Selene use on the basketball court, Galaxos throws the still growing ball of light at Lorienta's chest. Lorienta's staff drops to the ground, shattering into millions of pieces.

Lorienta is propelled backwards by the ball of energy, all of the time growing smaller until  the ball of energy has engulfed her.

The energy ball then appears to fold in on itself, and has begun sucking the forces that Lorienta has employed into the swirling ying yang figure.

Lava flows upwards towards the ball and the earth seems to shift gently back into place.

Galaxos still levitated several metres above the ground, drifts over to the ball and with one arm, launches it deep into the galaxy.

Deep in  outer space, this new black hole becomes inactive. Suddenly the ball explodes, the explosion is heard by no one, the shock waves disturb not a soul, tiny shards of the once destructive force, Lorienta are scattered through deep space.
