There is a lot of Japanese in this. So you can skip to after the translations on the bottom to read it without Japanese.
The Past Comes Back
Alex gasped.
"Jeriko!" Talong's scared and burnt face smiled.
"That's right Mari! I'm a Jeriko. Of course we don't look like we used to. But then again when a planet is blown up it is hard to keep your looks the same. After all, the core of our planet had dangerous materials, things that can mutate appearance. My people barely got off and then BOOM! Releasing the materials. Now my people are freaks! But you don't have to worry about anything like that now do you!" Alex breathed heavily.
"What do you want from me?" Talong narrowed his eyes.
"Revenge!" Alex looked at him dumbfounded. "You were our Goddess! You could have done something! But no! You had to go off and find a new planet to stay on!" Alex had sorrow and pity in her eyes as she fell into an unconscious state. Talong pushed a dial up all the way. Even though Alex was unconscious she screamed. There was a banging on the metal door. The Z warriors burst threw. Most gasped at the hideous creature Talong. Bulma took a step back. More of the 'Terrians' appeared. They all paired up and started to fight. Bulma went to a control panel and started to type. She wanted to Alex out of that bubble and find out whatever it was they were doing to her. After a few minutes of typing the bubble evaporated and Alex fell to the floor. Bulma rushed to her side and tended to Alex. She gave a quick glance to the others. The fighting was intense. Each kick and punched matched by the other. Bulma looked back to Alex as she began to stir. With a slight moan Alex sat up. She had a dazed look in her eyes.
"Bulma . . . ?" Bulma let out a sigh of relief.
"Hai." Alex faintly smiled. But that moment of peace was soon cut short. Alex sensed something coming her way. She pushed Bulma out of the way and drive out of the way of a blast just in time. Talong stepped forward. The other 'Terrians' stopped fighting the Z warriors. They knew that their fights no longer mattered. It was the fight with their leader. Alex staggered to her feet. The Z warriors were about to attack Talong but Alex raised her hand to stop them.
"Iie . . . this is my fight." She stood up straight. Talong got into a fighting stance. Alex took a deep breath and got into a stance herself. Talong launched himself at her. She dodged and brought her knee up into his stomach. He feel to the ground winded. Alex dodged his punches and landed a punch. Alex could feel her energy going quickly. And Talong knew it. All he had to do was to keep it up and Alex would fall from lack of energy. But there was one thing that he did no know. The fight went on for at least another five minutes. It was mostly one sided though. A goddess verus a mortal who learned little about fighting in his life. But slowly Alex was losing speed and agility. Talong finally landed a punch. Alex was weak enough for it to do enough damage. She fell to the ground bleeding from her lip. With the tables completely turned the fight continued. Alex was slowly being beaten to a bloody pulp. Talong laughed wickedly at the once proud goddess at his feet as he kneeled down to look at her in the face.
"Hanash'te . . . does it hurt to have someone that you once knew to turn around and stab you in the back." Alex looked at Talong. 'I wish there was another way for me to end this fight . . . ' Alex mumbled something. Talong peered into her face as he got closer to it. "Sumimasen, but I didn't hear you, Kono yogore!"
" . . . Omoidatta . . . Zettai omoidatta . . . there is little of that fact of life that I do not know about . . . I am the Goddess of Life. Hate . . . Love . . . Sorrow . . . I know it all too well. Amaya . . . my one true friend in life . . ." Alex choked back a sob. "Because of Amaya I have experienced it all . . . I have never changed my thoughts of her still . . . Demo . . . I often ask myself . . . Doush'te? Nande-koto-wa? Sou ne? Amaya often said to me when I asked 'Doush'tano?' . . . she said . . . Zakkenayo! So do not think that you have more pain than anyone else . . . there will always be someone who has gone through more . . . much more . . ." Alex made her move. She reached up quicker than the eye could be and pulled Talong to her face and kissed him. Talong's face was of pure shock and then . . . than it was nothing. A dead face has a hard time expressing shock. And that was what Talong's face was. Dead. He know lay on the floor. Dead. Alex had given his kind life and she had taken his. With a kiss of death. A suiting thing for the Goddess of Life.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Alex opened her eyes. She had passed out because of the kiss. It took the last of her energy. Alex tried to sit up. Her head throbbed and brought her back to reality. She looked around. She was in the ship that had been built by Bulma. A small room. Alex sighed and pushed away the pain. She slowly made her way out onto the main deck. There stood the others. Alex raised an eyebrow.
"We got out?" They turned to her.
"Yeah, after Talong died they all gave up." 18 said without a slight bit of sympathy. Alex nodded.
"How long till we get to Red Eyes 7?" Bulma smiled.
"We just got here to tell the truth. We wanted to wait till you were up." Alex nodded. That's when she saw it. The space port. It was beautiful. Red Eyes 7. Bulma contacted the port and asked if they could land. Alex just stood there admiring its beauty. In no time they had enter the port and got off for inspection. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________This is Alex. Next time there is much confusion. We met a strange boy. He helps guide us through Red Eyes 7. Finally getting the ship we prepare for a much harder journey. Lady Onra tries to buy as much time away from Riki as she can. But Riki persists in his efforts. Piper is growing more and more jealous of Lady Onra. How will we be able to help her? Will she last that long? Many things are clouded in this adventure but one thing is for sure. Pain for everyone is going to last for awhile.
