Chapter 14: Secrets Revealed.
Shadow Entilza: Well, I passed your gym challenge. (Collapses).
Entilza: Indeed. You have officially impressed me my Hikari.
Shadow Entilza: Cool! Now I will have my revenge! (Falls down and passes out).
Entilza: Well, seeing as my Hikari is currently catching some Z's, I'm taking charge of this story. Enjoy!
Reviewers:
Stormrose: That's cool about your Mom. For Shadow Hikaru's outfit, go to the Dark Magic store in Cross Realm City and ask for the Shadow Package class three.
After Derek had vanished Hikaru walked over to Tyler and tried to put a hand on his shoulder but he pulled back.
"Get away from me!" He cried.
"What's wrong little brother?" She asked.
"I saw what you did," he answered.
"What did I do that was so terrible?" She asked. "Derek WAS trying to kill me."
"Still, what you did to him, and it looked like you were actually enjoying it," Tyler said, still shaking.
"Didn't you enjoy fighting me when you had powers?" Hikaru asked, resuming Steven's form and hiding her bloodied hand.
"Well yeah, but I was under Derek's mind control," he answered, trying to defend himself.
"That's not what I asked. Did you enjoy it?"
"Yes," he answered finally.
"Now, I have to rest. I'll talk to everyone later," Steven said, going back inside the house.
At Derek's own house he was busy trying to patch himself up after the battle with Hikaru. He'd fixed his dislocated shoulder pretty easily and there was a large bandage over his cheek. His chest wound however, was much more serious. Hikaru had only just missed piercing his heart. As it was he was losing a lot of blood and he had nearly fainted twice already. His energy was the only thing keeping him alive. He knew he had to act soon.
"Then I guess it's time for the final stage," he said, getting to his feet, hand still covering his massive wound. He put all his power into the Shadow Field and vanished.
Hikaru had been thinking for the last few hours of the best way to show her parents her new self. She was down to an out of the blue introduction or getting her dad angry and then showing herself. Her new power still fresh in her body, she decided to it sudden and shocking.
He watched as his father's car pulled into the driveway. He checked through telepathy that Icy and her sisters were ready. He'd asked Bloom if the wanted to help but she was studying for a huge test coming up at Alfea.
When Steven's father got home from work he and the family sat down to dinner.
"Steven, your Mom told me how you helped her when the two of you were taking the chair over to the office," he said.
"Yeah, what about it?" He asked. His father had just given him the opening he wanted.
"How did you manage to hold onto the chair, I mean it is heavy."
"I had some help," Steven replied.
"Help? From who?" His father asked. Steven decided. It was now or never.
"My new body," he said. That got everyone but Tyler confused. He'd been wondering when Hikaru would reveal herself.
"New body? What are you talking about? I'm not in the mood for jokes."
"I didn't expect you to be," Steven said in Hikaru's voice.
"Oh, you can do impressions now? How cute," Steven's mother said.
Steven decided he needed to step it up, so he sent the signal to the Trix sisters. A moment later the three witches appeared in flashes of dark purple light.
"Oh it's far more than an impression mam," Icy said. Steven's parents were frozen. He stood up.
"Mom, Dad, Tyler, I'd like you to meet Icy, Darcy, and Stormy," he said, pointing to the witches one at a time.
"How-How is this possible?" Steven's father asked.
"Hey Hikaru, don't you think you should introduce yourself?" Icy asked.
"Who is Hikaru?' Steven's mother asked.
"That would be me," Steven replied, a red aura surrounding him. Slowly Steven disappeared and Shadow Hikaru stood in his place. Six feet tall, waist length red streaked black hair, black tube top and skirt, red and black eyes and sharp red painted nails. She's washed the blood off her hand a few hours ago. "Hello, you can call me Hikaru." She said, smiling.
"Ok, uh, well," Steven's father stuttered. He had just witnessed his son transforming into a girl who looked like the people in cartoons. "Where is Steven!" He demanded a moment later.
"I'm Steven. Well at least part of him," Hikaru said. Slowly she began telling the story of what had happened. She told them about meeting Bloom, going to the cross realm, the first battle with Derek, her transformation into Hikaru and everything else. When she was finished she brought out Kurumi and Angel and introduced them as well. Everyone slowly began talking with each other, trying to make sense of what was happening.
Meanwhile, in the cross realm, a nurse was making the daily check of Steven's body. It had been healing remarkably over the past few days. It was ready for Steven's soul to return to it, but no one knew if Steven wanted to return to his old body.
Suddenly something hit the nurse in the back of the head. She fell forward, hitting the carpeted floor softly. Derek came out of the shadows and looked at Steven's body.
"Yes, this will do nicely," he said, pressing several buttons on his device. A blinding light filled the corridor. When more nurses arrived, Steven's body was gone.
How was that? Now Derek had Steven's body. What is he planning to do with it? Find to in the next chapter. See ya then, and don't forget to review!
