Chapter Eleven by ChibiMaylan
A/N: Hello! Here's the next chappie!
Malachite appeared yet again to the tower which Rini slept. He pressed his hand onto her chest, and the dark crystal he held seeped back into her body to resume the absorption. Malachite released his hand from her chest, and watched as the dark crystal luminated her with a purple glow. Malachite zapped a seat and sat next to the window, watching her.
She was quite beautiful, he had to admit, and it was a pity that she fall victim to Beryl's plans. He watched as she slept, her chest rising and falling, he shuffled his chair closer to her, and touched her cheek – her skin was soft and cold from the energy being drained. He reached for her tiara, and twirled it up into the air a few times. "Are you ready yet?" he asked out loud, and touched her chest lightly to check for the crystal. "Hmm.. Wonderful. It's complete." He snickered, releasing the crystal back out of her body, and instantly, he watched as her body turned into a colour of grey. Her hair, once a rose-pink colour, was now black. Her skin turned from crème to a dull white.
Malachite then pulled the crimson sheets over to cover rini up to her face, and pulled at the curtains at the windows and her four-postered bed to enclose her. He then disappeared from her bedside, to join his Queen…
Helios felt like he'd gone round in circles, he had stopped hacking through the vines to catch his breath. Wiping his forehead with his hand, he felt the sweat stick onto the back of his hand and he unbuttoned his shirt, which was now ripped and a button popped off. He gazed at his chest – blood was trickling out of the gashes from the thorns he had passed through. He felt the pain of the thorns, but endured the pain with the thought of his Princess in mind.
He picked up his sword, and began to cut through once more, that is, until the vines in front of him disappeared and a extravagant door took it's place. His sword was stuck in the wooden door, and he pulled it free, opening the door as it squeaked loudly to reveal yet another room, this time the room was wide and open, curtains were pulled out to reveal the sunlight and the sun beamed onto a certain place – the stage where Beryl sat, on her throne with her orb staff in her right hand. She had a wide grin, as one of her Commanders appeared from the shadows and handed her something small, she gave a cackle and turned her eyes back to Helios.
"Welcome boy. I see you have passed every obstacle I placed in the rooms.. It's a pity you didn't die, like your Sailor brats…" Beryl flicked her left hand towards a wall – their hung the Sailor Senshi in chains, their heads lolled downwards and lifeless. Helios gasped, and took steps closer. "You witch!" He exclaimed. Beryl giggled, "Why thank you."
Helios tightened his grip onto his sword, and ran towards her and the throne. He yelled, raised his arm high and aimed his sword, ready to slash her. "Uh-uh! We won't have you running towards me like that!" she said, as Malachite appeared in front of Helios, causing him to halt inches from his face. "Meet Malachite, he'll be your last rival to defeat. As for me, I must be going now.. I have.. royalty to kill." She laughed, as she stood up, raised her left hand and a dark crystal gleamed, levitated and absorbed into her.
Helios' eyes widened, and a gasp escaped from his mouth. Malachite moved slightly to reveal Beryl – or was it.. Rini? Helios couldn't believe his eyes – Beryl had transformed herself to a figure exactly like Rini. Beryl pouted, "I really hate buns in my hair.." she poked at the two buns on her head. "But I guess it suits me now, hmm?" she grinned, watching Helios' expressions on his face. Malachite turned back to Beryl, and tossed a tiara towards her, which she caught and placed it onto her head.
"Well.. must be going! Ta-ta…" She laughed, as she disappeared, signaling Malachite to make his move. Helios blocked a sword from cutting his head off, and attacked back. "What is she up to!" he yelled. Malachite grinned. "Why, taking over the Kingdom." he replied, blocking Helios' sword.
To Be Continued…
