Chapter Eighteen: Nova, Otto, Sparx and Kirei to the Rescue
"Monkey Fang!"
"Lady Tomahawk!"
"Lady Tomahawk"
"Magna Tingler Blast!"
Antauri opened his eyes and saw Nova pounding against the Kevok and Kirei who had sank her fangs into Kevok's back. The Kevok opened it's mouth in pain and Cielle jumped out and landed on the ground on her side. "Ow...that wasn't pleasant at all..." she grumbled.
"Cielley! Your ok!" Kirei mewed as she let go of Kevok and jumped down next to her wobbling sister and hugged her.
"Now's not the time Kirei!" Cielle pointed out. Kirei let go of her sister and nodded with a serious look on her face. Kevok growled and snapped at Nova, who jumped to the ground and ran over to the group.
"Mind explaining what that thing is?" she asked.
"I haven't the slightest clue," Cielle said.
Nova glanced down at Chiro and gasped.
"Chiro! What happened are you alright?" she asked.
"N-no not really," Chiro said.
"I'm sorry! It's all my fault, I should have been able to help you!...I.." Cielle said. Antauri shot Cielle a look that made her stop what she was saying. "I mean...I tried..."
"And that's what counts," Antauri added.
"Hey Gibson need some help?" Otto asked as he hopped over to Gibson who was still underneath the Kevok's paws.
'What does it look like Otto!" he yelled.
"Ok, ok!" Otto said. He lifted his arm and swung his buzz-saws into Kevok's leg. Kevok lifted it's paw in pain and stumbled backwards.
"Smooth move you Stupid Smart Person, getting yourself stuck under a giant cat!" Sparx said.
"You know Sparky! What you just said is an oxymoron," Gibson snapped.
"I'm not a moron and don't call me Sparky!" Sparx growled.
"What on earth are these things?" Abigail asked as she entered the room. The Kevok's turned to Abigail and ran towards her.
"Oh no!" Nova said.
"Come on Otto!' Sparx said.
"Kevok?" Abigail asked with a soft smile. The two giant creatures began to glow again and a wind blew around them concealing them. They landed in Abigail's arms but instead of being giant ferocious beasts they were cute, adorable, fluffy silver kittens. Abigail laughed, "Oh my, Kevok there's two of you, looks like Princess Tsuki's been busy..."
The hyper force dropped their jaws , unable to believe those two giant monsters were those two adorable kittens. Abigail ran over to the hyper force to see the damage.
Chiro sat up clearly in pain, Cielle stumbled onto her feet and leaned on Kirei, Otto, Gibson and Sparx walked up next to Nova who was rubbing her injured arm.
"Are you all alright?" Abigail asked.
"How'd you do that?" Otto asked amazed.
Cielle's eye's widened and she froze with her mouth open.
"Cielle?" Antauri asked. Abigail placed the two kittens down and they curled up next to each other on the ground and sat patiently, while she got down on her knees next to Chiro.
"Are you alright...?" she asked him.
Chiro looked up at her, "N-No, wh-who are you?" he asked.
"She's-She's the Queen..." Cielle answered for Abigail.
"She's the Queen? But she's so young," Gibson said.
"Abigail...I didn't think you'd come back..." Cielle said.
"Neither did I, "Abigail said as she lowered her head.
"Yeah! It took my convincing!" Kirei pointed out.
"Yes, Kirei..." Abigail said. "I shouldn't have left, especially when my sister needed me most...I was just afraid...I-I didn't know what to do...I made a mistake, Kirei, Cielle...all of you...can you forgive me?"
"Of course," Kirei said.
"Abigail...I'll forgive you if you promise to stop Suki," Cielle said. Abigail nodded and looked at the hyper force and down at Chiro. They were silent. Abigail sighed and stood up and walked towards the giant hole in the wall her heels clicking against the tile.
"Where are you going?" Kirei asked.
"To stop Princess Tsuki!" Abigail said continuing to walk.
"No! I'm coming!" Cielle said as she ran after Abigail.
"No Cielle! Stay here and help your friends, they need you," Abigail said.
"No, I want to help you!" Cielle said.
"Cielle I said no," Abigail said.
"I won't let you go alone! You said I was built to help protect the city, and I'm going to full fill what I was made to do," Cielle said.
"No, I lied to you...you weren't built to protect the city...I-I found you in a ditch one night when it was stormy, they said a ship had crashed and I went to examine the damage myself, I found you there...I erased your memory, of what little memory you had and gave you a second chance at life. I needed you to help me protect myself from Suki..." Abigail yelled.
" You erased my memory!" Cielle asked shocked.
"Me too?" Kirei asked.
"Why would you do that?" Cielle asked.
"Stay here Cielle!" Abigail yelled as she started to walk off again.
Cielle tightened her fists, "I don't care if you erased my memory, found me in a ditch and lied to me! Your my friend and friend's stick together! I'm helping you whether you like it or not!"
Abigail sighed, "Fine..."
"Cielle!" Kirei said as she ran after her sister.
"Kirei, stay here..." Cielle said. Kirei frowned and watched Abigail and her sister slowly disappear into the debris that was the next room.
"Don't worry Kirei, your sister will be fine," Antauri reassured her.
"I just wish we could help," Nova said.
"You heard the Queen, she said to stay," Sparx said.
"Besides, Chiro needs our help," Gibson said.
"Don't worry about me...I'm fine..." Chiro said. The hyper force gave him a blank stare. "Ok so I'm not fine, but I'm not terrible either," he said weakly.
