Part 3: Epilogue of Nightmare
"Haiz…"
Four dark shadows were tied down with the red string. Yuko and Mokona stood firmly on the dock. They were finally found the beings scaring fishermen. She already told them to run away into the castle, so she could freely use her power to calm down the lost souls. After fifteen minutes trying to catch the sneaky beings, the four of them finally bind with the red threads.
"Mokona, you may eat them now," commanded the black haired witch.
"Okay dokay!" replied the black bunny.
Mokona opened his mouth. It started to glow, and eventually a strong wind emerged. The souls started to absorb into his mouth, like asteroid absorbed by a black hole. Once they all went into his mouth, Mokona shut his mouth and stopped the absorbance, before he eaten the wharf as well. He gulped it all and let out a deep breath.
"Thanks for the delicious meal!"
"Glad you like it," Yuko giggled. She looked up into the dark mist shrouding the Round Hall. "Well, it seems Hoshi-chan get a little trouble…she didn't get used with this kind of things. Let's go, Mokona."
"Yeah. Let's go to save Miss Hoshi!"
At the same time, Zerase was struggled between the shadows. She couldn't catch up with their unearthly speed. Every needle she threw into the dark beings always went straight and passed their mist-like body. She really hates to admit it but she was hopeless in matter of exorcising.
"Ara…so the Bearer of Star is having trouble one or two too."
The white dressed woman turned her head and found her wizardess friends approaching. Both prepared with their magic staff, ready to unleash their strongest magic. They gathered and forming a circle.
"Eresh, you know what to do," ordered the pink-haired enchantress in a singsong voice.
"Eresh know," the clergy said. She raised her cane staff, finished her chant. A large magic circle formed on the ground, sealed the movements of the three shadows. At the next second, pillar of lights started forming and attacked the dark beings, hurt them badly but not made them disappeared.
"Saa…just as I thought," Jeane said, bemused. "These so-called sinners are vulnerable to holy magic, but we can't kill them completely except with special rite, right?"
Zerase nodded. "We should catch them…somehow."
"Hmm…do you have any plan?"
"Only to make them catch off their guards, but I have no idea how I can do that."
"Well then, that is my role."
The rune mistress took several steps forward. She waited for one shadow to attack her, before gave it a wink. The shadow's movements stopped; instead, it started to float around Jeane tamely. Zerase and Eresh knew what it means. Her Charm Rune was activated and happily spreading out its power. Only in seconds, the three sinners, who in their previous life were scoundrels, flying around the mistress. Not so different with the normal situation, except this time she was surrounded with disgusted-looking men.
"Now, what will you do?" queried the short sorcerer.
The star mage approached the soul. One by one, she was binding the souls with the red string. Surprisingly, the shadows didn't even struggling. It was as if they were completely forgotten their true attention and decided to be Jeane's slaves. Thanks to it, the process was faster than she thought. Once the coldest among the Falena sentai team finished tied down all three of em, the sexy wizardess deactivated her Rune. The sinners soon realized they were tied with the red string. Too bad, they were too late to escape.
"Not worse than your other sentai team, right?" Jeane asked naughtily.
"Hmph. You and Yuko was the same," commented Zerase lazily.
Not so long after that, the Hell Girl and the dimensional witch appeared in the Round Hall. Mokona quickly hopped off from Yuko's arms onto Jeane's opened bosom and the two similar women immediately stirred into a fancy talk. Eresh and Zerase watched over Ai doing her rite of sending the sinners back to her domain. Once she finished, she turned around to see her 'older sister'.
"Yuko-nee, my business here is done," she said in deadpan voice. "I should immediately return to Hell and look over the sinners."
"So soon? Well, I guess I'm okay with that…" Yuko curved a graceful smirk. "…Say my hello to your servants. Oh yes, make sure you give those escapers proper punishments. And…visit me anytime. I'll gladly grant your wish without any payment."
Zerase's eyebrow lifted. "Without any payment? That's so kind of you."
"I'll do anything for my beloved Ai-chan, tee hee."
"See you, then," a black-red portal opened behind her. She took few steps backwards and off she gone into her home.
Jeane looked at Yuko. "Will you go home soon too?"
"Well, I think I have enough vacation. Maru and Moro maybe will feel lonely too…and Watanuki maybe will be in danger soon," the emerald queen shrugged. "If anything, you two may come to my place anytime, Jeane, Eresh-chan. I will grant your wish."
"Oh, what it'll cost me?" the pink-haired rune sage joked.
"Hmm…the secret for your eternal beauty?"
"Ah…that's too much…"
"Sure. Eresh will pay you a visit sometimes," Eresh nodded slightly.
"Okay then. Time to go home," a black portal appeared next to Yuko. Mokona hopped off from Jeane's embrace into his master's shoulder. "See you next time, Hoshi-chan, Jeane, Eresh-chan!"
"See you!" cheered Mokona as he waved his hands.
The black portal shut and disappeared. Zerase let out a brief sigh. She tried to go into the shade so she could teleport back into the Sealed Room. However, Jeane's firm grasp stopped her steps. She turned around and gave the sexy enchantress an annoyed, weary glare.
"Not yet," she said in melodious voice. "The party will go on."
Zerase widened her eyes. "Don't tell me, you…!"
"Jeane is telling the Dawn Prince to continue the party once the riot is settled down."
The black sorceress moaned. Neither Yuko, neither Jeane…both of them made me terribly annoyed…sigh…
Author Note: Maa...it's so short. Sorry. Maybe in the future I'll change it and adding some omakes...or continue it. This is the best I can do for now. For now, just enjoy a little interview below...See you in my next fic! Tataaa! Oh yeah, don't forget to review :)
