Chapter Fifteen: The Explanation

Antauri sighed and walked over to Chiro and gave Cielle a disappointed look.

Cielle lowered her head, "That's ok. I didn't think you were gonna believe me anyway...go ahead finish me off...It's not like I'm needed..." she said with a shrug.

"Huh?" Chiro asked as his jaw dropped.

"What? Nothing I say otherwise is going to convince you I'm not evil, I might as well be," Cielle said.

"I dare say your being sassy," Gibson said with a smile. She glanced up at him with a blank expression on her face.

"But-But you are evil, you said so I-I...I can't believe you not after what you did to me!" Chiro said.

"Chiro maybe she can explain?" Antauri asked.

"Yes I can! Look!" Cielle said as she turned around and pointed to the back of her head.

"It's your head..." Chiro said.

"Yes very good observation, but there should be some kind of microchip back there!" Cielle said. Indeed like Cielle said there was the microchip the Princess has placed in the slot.

"What kind of chip is that?" Gibson asked.

"Some chip the Princess put in me! She was controlling me, thinking she could turn you all against me and probably kill you too," Cielle explained.

"Alright then if she was controlling you why'd she stop?" Chiro asked.

"I Don't know! Who knows what sick thoughts that woman is conniving," Cielle said. "Please, I'm telling the truth." she said as she turned around and looked Chiro in the eyes.

"I..." he stammered searching his mind for an answer. "I don't know."

"Cielle please don't take it personally, we have to be careful..." Antauri explained.

"Yes, Antauri's right we have to make careful choices you know," Gibson said.

"Don't worry I understand...I'm sorry you all got dragged into this...Kirei shouldn't have asked you for help! You can all go home now," Cielle said.

"We can't, Nova, Sparx and Otto are with your sister," Antauri said.

"You left them with her sister! She could be just as evil as Cielle," Chiro said.

"You still think I'm evil!" Cielle said.

"Ryo! Hurry up!" snapped the Princess.

"I hope that gave them enough time," Ryo thought as he plugged the plug back into the socket and the televisions flashed on.

"Now let's see the damage...huh what! How'd they get in there?" Princess Tsuki gasped as she saw Gibson and Antauri.

"I dunno?" Ryo said.

Princess Tsuki glared at him then turned back to the screens, "Well...they may have stopped the battle but they haven't stopped the war," she said.

"What do you mean by that?" Ryo asked.

"Tell the Valencia to start the cloning, I want my army ready for Kirei and the rest of the outsiders," Princess Tsuki ordered.

Chiro didn't know what to make of this, "Listen Cielle..." he started.

"Don't explain, you already have! Now come on you need to get out here," Cielle said as she walked over to the doorway.

"Your not coming?" Gibson asked.

"No I thought you didn't trust me you wouldn't want me to lead you into a trap now would you?" Cielle asked.

"No we wouldn't, come on Antauri," Chiro said. Gibson and Chiro walked past Cielle and through the door. Antauri glanced back at Cielle. Cielle flashed him a sad look then walked over to the middle of the room.

"Alright Suki! I've had enough!" she yelled. Antauri walked through the doorway and was about turn the corner when he peered back into the room.

"I know you can hear me! And probably see me too, so hear me out you witch. You've not only ruined the lives of everybody on this planet, but you ruined mine too! My sister thinks I have a low self esteem and you know what I probably do! Not only that but you've turned my new friends against me! And I really liked them! And your keeping people hostage to be your little servants! Well I've had it up to here! I see now that the Queen isn't coming back so It's time for me to take charge! I vow here and now that I will do everything my power to destroy you even if it costs me my life!" Cielle yelled.

Antauri smiled and started to walk over to her.

"Antauri, what are you doing?" Gibson asked. "Antauri?"

Cielle felt someone touch her shoulder, she spun around and saw Antauri.

"Antauri? I-I thought you left," Cielle asked.

"I want to help you," Antauri said.

"Really? You don't think I'm a..." started Cielle. Antauri shook his head. Cielle smiled and hugged him tightly. "Good! Because I'm really gonna need your help..." she said.
