Chapter 15~ The power inside
"Ayuta, ATTACK!"
The words echoed through her head, time seemed to slow down. The crying mews tore Zakuro off her in slow motion, Ayuta's heart the only thing she could hear. Her eyes got wide as she saw the pair of aliens looking at her expectantly. The mews were unaware of the temptation leaking into her mind, pushing her to kill them. A wild fire burned deep in the pit of her stomach, the fire of rebellion.
The, what she hoped was, unconscious Zakuro made the fire burn deeper, fiercer. It flickered up to her shoulders, expanding out to her arms, through her legs. It reached her face and licked out her eyes, her hands feeling the intensity of the fire, her feet also. She clenched her fists and her eyes threw the wild fire out towards the aliens, looking at her so expectantly. She grinded her teeth together, the fire wanting to burst out of her mouth. She got up, and she was the only thing that moved normally. Everything else was slow and unimportant. All that mattered now was feeding the fire, satisfying it.
She threw her hand out; the fire overthrew the temptation, making her able to control her actions again. She noticed she was glowing blue, but that didn't seem important right now. The fire clutched her heart, squeezing and burning it. It felt good. Suddenly new words wanted to escape, to flow out of her mouth just as the fire wanted to. She opened her mouth and released them. "Honey scepter." She said, the words taking a new edge to the fire. A light flooded through the forest, Ayuta kept her eyes wide open, never looking away from the pair of aliens. The light centered on her hand, it swirled around her arm the back to her hand.
Out of nowhere, a long stick appeared, it was yellow. The light gathered to the top of the stick and centered. The light shattered away and a black ball appeared on the tip of the stick. Yellow stripes swirled around it and Ayuta held it above her head, staring directly at the stunned aliens.
Lettuce and Taruto stopped fighting to shield their eyes from a bright light that came out of nowhere. When it faded, there was silence. Taruto didn't even seem to want to fight anymore, his child curiosity taking over him.
"What the hell?" He asked and teleported away.
Lettuce looked into the forest, wondering what the light had been from.
"AGH!" Ichigo screamed, as the water from the spring slowly rose out and became a light. Lettuce whipped around and stared in confusion as it floated in the air, and became white. It circled into itself and became a small ball, see through and white. Ichigo stood from her rock, staring at the orb.
"Mew Aqua." Ichigo and Lettuce said at the same time.
The orb zipped into the forest, and Lettuce turned to Ichigo. "Ichigo!" She shouted. Ichigo nodded, wiping away her tears and ran with Lettuce through the forest.
Mint stared at Ayuta; she had her back to them, staring at the aliens. But more importantly, she was glowing blue, which only meant one thing.
"Mew Aqua?" She gasped.
Suddenly an orb of light circled around her arm and settled onto the stick, and it became a small black ball with yellow stripes swirling around it. Ayuta held the scepter above her head, still staring at the aliens.
"Mint! Pudding!" Mint heard Lettuce's voice below them. Mint looked over the branch and saw Lettuce and Ichigo on the ground, looking up at the glowing Ayuta.
They had faces of shock plastered on their face. Mint felt she had the same expression on her face also. She turned to Pudding, but she wasn't there.
"P-Pudding?" Mint asked, looking around. She was nowhere to be found. She heard a laugh and looked to the aliens to see Pudding in Taruto's grasp. "PUDDING!" Mint yelled, standing up next to Zakuro. She was so caught up in Ayuta, she hadn't noticed Taruto had snatched Pudding. He held her by her neck, she scratched at his arm desperately trying to escape.
"Just make sure your bug doesn't hurt us and we'll let her go!" He shouted sneering. Mint looked at Ayuta who had a hard face, grasping the honey scepter.
"Ayuta…" Mint whispered but Ayuta paid no attention to her.
"You have no more control over me," Ayuta spoke. "I will no longer attack my friends." She finished, putting her scepter to her side. She continued to glow.
Lettuce and Ichigo jumped up next to them, staring at Ayuta then Pudding.
"We won't hurt her, just let us leave and well teleport her to the ground." Pai stated.
"I can't let you leave." Ayuta said with no emotion in her voice.
Ayuta stared at the aliens; she would not let them escape. Not after what they put her through.
"Then let your friend die!" Kisshu shouted cueing Taruto to squeeze on her neck. Pudding gasped out for air and Ayuta continued to stare at them. Pudding's gasps tore through the silence, ripping at each mew's heart.
"S-Stop it!" Ichigo cried. Taruto loosened up on her neck.
"Just let us leave." Taruto said, sounding bored.
Ayuta stared at them. "No." She said emotionlessly again.
Pai narrowed his eyes at her. "Were leaving here one way or another, whether it's with a dead mew or not!" He hissed. Ayuta stared at him.
"Come on Hachi-chan!" Kisshu called out. "Were just going to le-"
"Fuck you." Ayuta interrupted.
Kisshu looked at her with a surprised disgusted look on his face. "Fine." He shrugged and summoned his sais. He held one to Puddings arm and threatened to cut her.
"You despicable bastard! She's just a child!" Mint screamed.
"Which is why she's good leverage!" He sang and put the dagger to her arm.
"MINTO ARROW!"
"LETTUCE RUSH!"
"RIBBON STRAWBERRY SURPRISE!"
"QUEEN BEE REVENGE!"
The four mew's attacks shot at once, Ayuta's being the strongest for it was fused with mew aqua. Kisshu flew back, Pai teleported and Taruto dropped Pudding.
"AHHHHHHH!" She screamed as she fell through the air. Ayuta shot off and reached out to catch the monkey girl. She grabbed her wrists and pulled up, just in time to not hit the ground. Ayuta held Pudding in a tight hold as the young one clung onto her.
"Dammit, alright time to go!" Taruto said.
Ayuta floated back up to the mews and placed Pudding down. They all stared at the aliens.
"Oi, how's your purple haired one doing?" Kisshu sneered. All the mews looked down at the injured Zakuro, and Ayuta saw them start to teleport away. She turned back to them quickly and held her scepter in the air.
"QUEEN BEE REVENGE!" She shouted, and a bright light came out of the tip of the scepter. The blinded aliens stopped teleporting and shielded their eyes. Ayuta pointed her scepter towards them and felt the power build up, the power that was hiding inside of her all along. It surged through her and came out of her fingertips, into the scepter. A blast came out of the scepter and it raced towards one specific alien, the one that had caused this whole mess to happen, the one she hated more than the others with a burning intensity.
The beam hit Kisshu right in the stomach and he flew back, smashing through several trees.
"Kisshu!" Taruto yelled out.
"MINTO ARROW!" Mint yelled and twirled around then pulled back on the bow. She shot out the ray of light and it went right into Taruto's arm.
"AGH!" He shouted, gripping his arm in pain.
Pai stared at Ayuta then pulled out his fan. "You just don't get it do you?" He mumbled. "FUU RAI SEN!" A blast of air shot out and Ayuta held her weapon out, and it hit her shield. "We are the people trying to revive this earth, you are the enemy!" He continued, attacking again. Ayuta deflected it again, and slowly flew towards the lone alien. Taruto was on the ground and Kisshu was several miles away, probably unconscious.
"Don't you get it?" She asked. He attacked again and she deflected it easily. "You hurt our friends." She deflected another one of his attacks, sending it back at him. "You abduct us." The wind shot the fan out of Pai's hand and he grabbed at it. "You seem to be mistaken for who the enemy is." She said darkly and roughly pushed Pai back against a tree. He tried teleporting and Ayuta hit her scepter across his head hard. Pai stopped and sat there, powerless against her new strength. She got closer to his face. "You are the only enemy." She whispered, and let go of him. He fell then still half-conscious started to levitate before falling again. This process continued until he was on the ground, leaning against the tree.
Ayuta floated down to him, her arms crossed staring at him intently. He had his eyes closed and was holding his head. She grabbed his wrist and he opened his eyes and stared at her like he wanted to kill her. Funny, she wanted to do the same thing to.
"Then kill me." He spat, as if reading her mind. She squeezed tighter onto his wrist and he hissed in pain but held her stare with a returning stare of loathing.
"I'm not like you." She hissed and hit him over the head with her scepter as hard as she could, knocking him fully out. He slumped against the tree and she let go of his wrist. She turned around and saw Taruto gripping his arm in pain hissing numerous swears.
"You!" She yelled, pointing her scepter at him. He looked up and saw Pai unconscious against the tree. His eyes got wide and he glared at Ayuta. "I want you to leave, all of you! Don't you dare come back, because next time I won't be so caring." She ordered. Taruto growled at her but stood up shakily, walking over to Pai and grabbing his wrist.
He looked at her straight in the eye and just before teleporting hissed at her with a sneer.
"Hope your friend's dead." And he and Pai disappeared.
Ayuta didn't let her guard down even though the fire had died down and now she was extremely exhausted. She looked up at the branch and all the mews were huddled around Zakuro. She felt the urge to fly up and help, but she had to find Kisshu and make him leave also. He was going to be the hardest fight yet.
