Chapter Twenty-Six
A screeching noise that sounded like the clawing of nails down a chalkboard filled the air. Mina looked up with one eye at the shadowy mass that loomed over her. Her other eye was closed in pain. She sat on the ground leaning against a wall. She used one hand to cover the wound on her other arm. Blood oozed between her fingers and dripped down into the dirt.
The shadowy mass then changed shape, forming itself into some type of creature. It was tall and had a four limbed body. Its arms and legs were grotesquely long and its head had two horns sticking out of it. The three-dimensional black silhouette then reached down to grab her around the neck.
She gasped as it pulled her body up along the wall. Her feet dangled above the ground as she let out choking sounds. She tried prying the creature's fingers away, but felt nothing. Her hand passed right through the shadow monster's ghostly grasp. She looked behind the creature to see the temple where Raye lived. Surprisingly the temple stood untouched while the other houses and area around it looked damaged in varying degrees. Her gaze turned back toward the creature. It had no eyes, but still it seemed to be returning her stare. As she struggled she felt her vision begin to grow dimmer from the lack of oxygen to her lungs.
The creature's body became to crackle with purple energy. She cried out as the energy traveled through her as well. Then suddenly the creature threw her body several feet away into the street. Mina reached up painfully and grabbed her neck. She looked around. There was no one to help her. The entire street was deserted. She almost couldn't believe that this was the same Tokyo that she had left. Kala had returned her right back to the same spot where Utori had kidnapped her and Raye. Upon arrival she immediately noticed the devastation.
A black cloud raged up above with seaming energy. In the distance she could hear people screaming. It was a disturbingly familiar image similar to the one that Kala had shown of the planet Elo just before its destruction. She panicked and tried calling out for Raye, but got no answer. She was about to go search the temple for her friend when suddenly a creature attacked her.
Still lying on the ground she looked up when she saw two more shadow phantoms creep beside the first one. All three then moved to surround her.
'I need to transform quickly,' she thought.
For whatever reason when she returned home she found herself powered down into her regular civilian clothes. Mina searched frantically in the pockets of her jeans.
"My transformation wand," she cried out in panic. "It's gone!"
The shadow monsters then changed into a black inky mass and spilled on to the floor. Slowly the circle that they had enclosed around her began to shrink.
'This can't be happening,' her mind screamed. 'It can't end like this!'
She remembered Kala saying that they all had a part to play in the battle to defeat Daisan. Surely this couldn't be hers. Surely her contribution could not be death. She balled her hands into tight fists that shook with frustration. Her eyes grew wide when a light, celestial voice filled her mind. Mina looked around searching for the voice's owner. It sounded somewhat familiar.
"Kala is that you?" she cried out.
'Only those with the power to control their fate can use the power of Chronos,' the voice answered.
"How?" Mina yelled. "I don't know what to do!"
As the voice continued to speak to her a silver light surrounded her driving back the creatures. Mina stared in surprise at the mysterious power.
'You have the power to change your destiny. Use it! Call forth your power!'
Then suddenly the soothing presence disappeared from her mind, leaving her standing alone once again.
"Only I have the power to control my fate." Mina restated. "The power of Chronos."
Once the silver light had disappeared the shadowy ink began to move across the ground toward her again. Mina swallowed back her fear as watched the dark liquid. She closed her eyes in concentration. Slowly her body began to glow. The symbol of Venus appeared on her forehead and then replaced with the symbol of Chronos. A ball of golden light materialized above her head. She reached upwards with one hand to take it. The light slowly formed into a clear orange crystallized transformation wand. Mina's lips began to move. Instinctively knowing the words she called forth her new power.
"VENUS CHRONOS POWER! ACTIVATE!" she shouted.
Yellow light engulfed her and illuminated the surrounding area. The shadow creatures cried out in pain and pulled back into their silhouetted humanoid form. As the light radiated around her, Mina could feel her wounds healing. Orange and gold fabric replaced her regular clothes and she stood wearing her new senshi uniform. The one that she had worn in the sacred realm. The yellow light died down somewhat, but she still glowed with energy. The shadow creatures made a growl and tried advancing toward her once again.
She brought down her arm with the crystal transformation wand still in her hand. It continued to glow with light. Mina grabbed on to it with her other hand and then pulled back two star shakrims. Five pointed blades protruded outward from the center. The shadow monsters encircled her once again. Mina stood her ground unafraid. Yellow energy swirled around her. She could feel power rising from deep inside waiting to be released.
"VENUS STARLIGHT BURST!" she cried out.
The energy exploded from her body and she watched as the shadow demons dissolved in the light. She looked down at her new weapons amazed at what she had just done. The energy attack she had just used was more powerful then any she had ever used before. Yet she knew that that had been only a fraction of what she was truly capable of. She didn't get much time to contemplate this thought though.
She turned around sharply when she heard a thundering crash and saw light coming from the center of downtown. Her senses told her that fellow scouts were in that area. She ran forward to check it out.
As she ran down the deserted road she stopped when she heard the voice of a boy call her name.
"Mina! Wait up!" he yelled.
She turned around and was surprised at whom she saw.
'What in the world is he doing here?' she thought.
