Chapter 15
Dentyne paced in the dark of his room. He had to come up with a plan for the near future. His father would surely kill him if he showed his face. Celest was out of the question entirely. She would probably kill his father soon, too. Dentyne felt like he was backed into a corner and had no escape. Kakyoku would be his only hope and he wouldn't turn against her. He sighed and stopped pacing.
Would Seiya take him back? Not likely. Not after what he did to her. And she loved another... He, actually. That reality came as a shock. Seiya was a man and he loved the White Moon Princess. And due to his own stupidity, Dentyne had set the way for them to get together. Why had he told the Moon Princess the true definition of time?
Dentyne sighed again. A thud from the other side of the door caught his attention. He scoffed and moved towards the door, wondering what his Starlights guards wanted now. In an instant, the door burst open and a toxic cloud filled the room. Out of the mist, the deadly sound of metal shlinked as a shadow approached, sword drawn. Dentyne felt no pain as his light died out.

Mina and Yaten held hands as they made their way to the dining hall. They had wanted to dine outside, but a storm had gathered. Instead they remained inside, speaking of the things that occured in the year that they were apart. And Mina actually discovered that Yaten had a sence of humor that was never revieled on Earth.
"And we went skinny dipping in the northern lake one night. Oh, that was cold! And Moms caught us sneeking back into the palace and forced us to do our duties the next day when we were all sick."
"That's histerical. I never would have pictured you for a skinny dipper." Mina laughed.
"Admit it, you want to see me naked." Yaten smiled as Mina burst out laughing.
"I woulnd't mind seeing you as a she in a thong." She chucked when he nodded his head. Suddenly, Yaten stopped dead in his tracks. Mina's laughter died and she looked at him in concern. The Starlight's electric green eyes were dulled and distant as if in a trance. He slowly sauntered forward, towards an unknown destination. Mina followed.
Yaten moved like a ghost down one hall and up annother. A scared Mina followed, unsure of what was going on. The duo past Star Hexer in the hall and the young Starlight immedeately followed in hot pursuit.
"What's going on? Why is Yaten doing this?"
"My Master must be picking up on something that we're not aware of yet."
"What do you mean by that?" Mina watched as the young Starlight pointed ahead. Mina looked ahead to discover two Starlights sprawled out on the marble floor, unconcious. A disgusting odor grew stronger as they neared and Yaten broke into a run.
"Maker, Seer, this is Healer. Report to corridor seven now. We've got two Starlights down." Yaten almost shouted into her microphone. In a flash of light, Healer took the place of Yaten. She cautiously entered the room beyond, leaving Mina and Hexer in the hall to deal with the others. Healer emerged a minute later, speachless. She spoke slowly into her microphone again. "Prince Dentyne of Hadarak has been murdered."
A chorus of suprised Starlights could be heard thru the headset. Some where shocked, others angry. Fighter's voice was the last to come thru; soft and confused. "How?"
"Not over the comms." Healer replied quietly. She bent over her fallen comerades and used her power to heal them and bring them to. Just as Lighter and Leader were reviving, Maker, Seer, Seiya and Serena came upon the group.
"What happened?" Seiya asked, kneeling beside Healer.
"I'm not really sure, La- Lord Fighter." Lighter answered, rubbing her head. "We were guarding Dentyne and all of a sudden, this really bad smelling cloud just surrounded us. The next thing I knew, Lady Healer was leaning over me."
Seiya looked from the darkened room to Healer. "What happened?"
"Alguien lo descabezó." Healer answered, watching Seiya's reaction. The other Starlight fell back, in shock. His navy eyes fell on the darkened room. (AN: For those of you who don't speak Spanish, dont worry. I'll translate it shortly.)
"He didn't deserve that... even with what he did." Seiya shook his head. "I have to tell mom."
"You're off duty." Maker stated, sternly. Seiya looked up at his sister. "Stay that way and let us handle this."
Seiya nodded, giving in. "I guess you're right. I do need to get back to health. Maker, you take the reigns on this one. Healer's had enough on her plate."
"Stop giving orders and go lay down!" Healer exclaimed, forcing Seiya to stand before pushing him down the hall. "Serena, make sure he gets some bed rest. And don't let him out of your sight."
"Don't worry. There'll be no unauthorized activity while I'm arround." Serena quickly saluted Healer and turned to escort Seiya away. Healer rolled her eyes and went back to the task at hand.
"Mina, I'm not sure you want to be here for this." Healer met Mina's cerrulean eyes. In a silent message, the blonde understood why.
"Mina, could you do us a favor and find mom and Kakyuu?" Maker asked, placing her hands on Mina's shoulders. Mina only nodded and with one last look at Healer, turned down the hall on her mission.
-------
Mina had tracked the Kinmoku Queen to the throne room. Along the way, she met up with the others of her team. They were all anxious about why the Starlights started acting funny. Mina didn't reveal the information to them. They would find out when she told the Queen.
Finally, she reached the sealed double doors of the throne room. With a breath to calm her, Mina forced the doors open. Thunder crashed as Kakyoku's eyes immedeately fell on her as she approached. The Queen frowned.
"Princess Venus, that is not proper protocal for..."
"Forgive me, Queen Kakyoku. Healer and Maker sent me to you to tell you that Dentyne is dead; murdered." Mina watched as Kakyoku's jaw dropped in shock. Mina's teammates were just as shocked.
"What? How? When?" Kakyoku demanded, moving briskly from her throne to the foreign soldier.
"Healer told me he was... de-decapitated... only a little while ago." Mina looked away, holding back tears at the memory of the silent message Yaten had relayed to her. She had wanted to cry then, but her tears were lost in her mission to find the Queen. Now, they were free to flow. "They're in corridor seven."
Kakyoku rushed out of the throne room, leaving the Earth Soldiers alone in her wake. All was silent. The gathering storm burst.
The tears of Heaven fell.
