I have no idea what I want to write in this chapter so, sorry if it comes off as a little... odd. I should continue working on my website, too. But that's hard to do when I work 10 hours a day and have no inet connection at home. I'm ready for a nap.
PS. YAY! X-MEN 3 IS COMING OUT SOON! I WANT TO SEE!
Randomness:
Ball go down the hole.

Chapter 10
"So Raye was accusing you of stealing me from her? What a load of crap." Yaten sighed as she and Mina walked through the palace gardens. Every now and then, the couple would pause to admire the fauna or artwork on display.
"If Lita hadn't shown up with Seer, Raye would have blasted me with her arrow, too." Mina heard Yaten growl beside her and was suddenly afraid to look her in the eye. After a moment of silence between the two, Yaten stopped beside a green house. Mina looked back at her lover to discover her looking away. Mina followed her line of sight to see Star Fighter glaring back at Yaten.
"Seiya, what are you doing? You should be resting." Yaten's hand found it's way to her pocket in search for her star pendant. She gripped it tightly, hoping that she wouldn't have to use it. She never had the chance to.
"Star Serious Laser!" Fighter shot the white hot beam at Yaten, who attempted to block it. Yaten screamed in agony as she was launched off her feet, crashing through a glass panel of the greenhouse.
"Yaten!" Mina shouted, torn between running to her lover and fending off Fighter. She elected to stand her ground, transforming into Sailor Venus. "Fighter, why did you attack her?"
"Stay out of my way!" Fighter roared as she charged Venus. The two engadged in a deadly dance of punches and kicks until Fighter backed off enough to charge her laser attack. Venus barely dodged the beam and watched in awe as it burned its way straight through several trees, toppling a few in its path.
"Venus Love and Beauty! Shock!" Fighter easilly dodged the blast and was prepared to launch her own when Healer jumped out of nowhere, effectively angle-kicking her. Healer backflipped away as Fighter righted herself and prepared to attack.
"Star!"
"Star!"
"Serious!"
"Sensitive!"
"Laser!"
"Inferno!"
Both attacks collided in mid-air, generating a giant ball of energy as both Starlights refused to disipate their attacks and give in to the other. Venus watched from the sidelines, unsure of what to do about Fighter or how to help Healer.

- A few moments ago... -
"I still can't believe you were angry at Mina over Yaten." Lita shook her head as she lead Raye down a hall. She heard her friend mumble, but didn't catch what was said. Lita sighed. "Don't worry, Raye. You'll find someone."
"I don't want to talk about it." Raye muttered, looking away.
"Okay. What do you want to talk about?"
"Where do you keep disappearing to? We've barely seen you around." Raye finally met eyes with Lita, who blushed.
"I've been with Seer... Learning how to apparate, that's how the Starlights travel across galaxies."
"I forgot that we were supposed to ask about getting lessons for that."
"I'm sure Seer won't mind another student. She's a really good teacher... I learned alot from her in only a few days. And whenever Archer comes in for a lesson, she gets all kinds of goofy. It's been really fun." Lita started laughing. Raye suddenly stopped in her tracks and silenced Lita. "What's wrong?"
"I thought I heard an explosion." Raye said, wandering away. Lita followed her to an open balcony overlooking the palace gardens. What they saw left them in shock. Fighter and Healer were in a stand-off and looked about ready to kill eachother while Venus looked on in worry. "What is going on here? Why are they fighting?"
"Who cares! We need to seperate them before they kill eachother." Lita took out her transformation pen and called upon the powers of Jupiter. Raye hesitated only a moment before calling on the powers of Mars. Both Earth Soldiers jumped off the balcony and landed gracefully in the gardens below.
"Mars Flame Sniper!" Mars launched her arrow at Healer.
"Jupiter Oak Evolution!" Jupiter's sparks shot at Fighter. Both attacks struck each Starlight simotaneously, knocking them off thier feet. The ball of energy their attacks had created imploded, sending a great burst of energy and hot air over the gardens.
Fighter was the first to her feet. She turned and charged the two Earth Soldiers. "Idiots! Who asked you to interfere!"
"What's gotten into you, Fighter?" Jupiter asked, dodging Fighter's onslaught of attacks.
"Star Gentle Uterus!" The perfectly calculated attack barely missed Jupiter and struck Fighter, throwing her to the side. Maker was instantly on her, pinning her to the ground.
"Get off me!" Fighter roared, struggling against Maker's grip.
"Snap out of it, Fighter!" Maker shouted. The only response she got was Fighter spitting in her face before she continued to struggle. Healer finally limped her way over to the fallen Fighter and placed her hands by Fighter's head and closed her eyes. That's when Maker noticed Healer's wound... The last two fingers of her right hand were gone and her blood ran down her leather glove. Maker looked up at her sister in worry. "Healer?"
Maker got no response, but watched as Healer concentrated. Fighter screamed and started struggling even harder. Jupiter and Mars were immedeatly on Fighter, helping Maker hold her down. A soft green aura developed around Healer and Fighter slowly stopped fighting. After several long minutes, Fighter was calmed into a deep sleep. Healer collapsed, exhaused.
"Yaten!" Venus ran over to her lover and cradled her head in her lap. She gasped when she noticed Healer's missing fingers and hugged her tightly, crying.
"Why would Fighter do this?" Jupiter asked, watching as Maker lifted Fighter.
"I'm not sure, but I think Yaten knows." Maker answered. She looked down at Venus as she snuggled into Healer's hair. "Come on. Let's get these two to the infirmary."

Dentyne paced the confines of his small cell. He still couldn't believe what he had done to Seiya. He had just barely gotten her to trust him and he had to go and ruin that trust. But why hadn't he warned her about his father's plans? He couldn't remember much of that night. In fact, the last thing he remembered before waking up in a Kinmoku jail cell was Celest running up to him and a stabbing pain in his back.
"That bitch." Dentyne snarled, realizing what she had done to him. She had used the mind control potion on him. But would she order him to rape Seiya? If so, why? She wanted to help his father take over Kinmoku so it made no sence that she would go and ruin their plans... Or did she have her own agenda?
And what of Seiya? He knew he slipped her the potion, but was she okay? He had to escape and find out. He smiled to himself. "I really did fall in love with her."
"Shut-up in there!" A burly-faced gaurd shouted, coming up to the bars of the cell and pounding on the black iron. Dentyne was quick to act, attacking the guard to knock him unconcious. As he fell to the ground, Dentyne swiped the cell keys from his belt and unlocked the cell door.
"Now to warn Kakyoku." Dentyne disappeared into the shadows of night.
