Beastfire: Thank you very much!
Supa-nova-101: Wow…dang. I know that my words don't really do anything, but I hope that you can make a speedy recovery.
Chapter 7
Frus, Kyrie, some guards, Gibson, and Otto landed near the front of the temple and ran out of the rocket and over to the entrance of the temple. Waiting for them was another guard, and he led them all inside, to where yet another one waited for them with a candle and the red lens. The guard who had been leading the group asked for the other lenses while the guards from the other temples went over and whispered with the guard who was holding the red lens. After the lenses had been handed over, they were stacked in order with red on the top and violet on the bottom. The guard who was now holding just the candle handed it to Frus.
The guards formed a circle around the lenses. They joined hands and began to chant; Frus had no idea what they were saying, and Kyrie didn't know either. As the chanting continued, the lenses began to glow, and not in the way that they had when they were being used to attack. The light was pure and white, and as it shone, the lenses seemed to get smaller. After a moment, it became clear that they were flowing together into one.
When the ceremony was over, a large, clear white lens was on the ground between the guards. Carefully, almost reverently, one guard picked it up and handed it to Frus. This guard told him that a light shone through this lens could harm the enemy once he was found. Frus handed the lens to Gibson, asking him to design a weapon that would maximize the effects of the lens. Meanwhile, Otto began making final preparations for the return trip.
Frus took Kyrie aside for a moment. He opened his mouth to speak, but Kyrie cut him off.
"Are you going to leave me?" she asked.
"No, of course not! Well…it's complicated. There are people who count on my friends and me to protect them, and we have to go back and help them. And I can't just ask you to leave your home," said Frus.
"The only home that I ever had was with my parents. You are my father now, so my home is with you," said Kyrie. She hugged Frus then, a few tears in her eyes. However, she understood the urgency of the situation, and she and Frus were soon on board and headed towards Shuggazoom. Otto was piloting so that Gibson could study the lens, and there was a temple guard with them who had insisted on coming along.
Later Otto, Gibson, Frus, Kyrie, and the guard, who just would not give his name to anyone, disembarked from their craft. Kyrie was holding Frus' hand, taking unsure steps towards the Super Robot. Gibson opened the door abd immediately went over to Antuari.
"Welcome back," said Antuari. "What did you find?"
"This," said Gibson, holding up the lens, "may just be the key to winning this battle, but I'll need time to study it. How much time do we have?"
"By our last measurement, three hours," answered Antuari.
"I'll get started, then," said Gibson. He rushed off work more on the lens, with Otto following to help in any way he could.
Meanwhile, Tyr, Dylan, and Seamus ran out to greet Frus, all three of them jumping onto him and crying out, "Hi, Daddy!" Frus caught the three of them in a hug. Meanwhile, Kyrie had let go of his hand and backed up a few steps.
After a moment, Frus put his sons back down, and they looked up at him with bright smiles. By this time, Ivy had caught up with the triplets and she kissed Frus. Then she noticed Kyrie, who was hiding behind Frus' tail. "Who's this?" she asked.
"This is Kyrie," he responded. Then, he told Kyrie the names of the rest of the family, pointing out each one as he named them, and explained to her that they were going to be her family now, too. Then, Frus repeated his explanation for the rest.
The triplets went over to Kyrie and greeted her, and although she didn't understand the exact words she was able to comprehend the meaning and greeted them as well, hesitating slightly because of her shyness, creating a semblance of stammering. The triplets couldn't understand her anyway, though.
Meanwhile, Frus was telling Ivy what had happened on the planet Fiere. When he finished, Ivy pulled him into a hug and ran her fingers through his mane, a the top of his head and around the back of his neck. "You're just a big sweetie, aren't you?" she muttered. Then she let go of him and walked over to her new daughter.
I'm going to stop here for now. Please review.
