A happy reunion?
Interesting…they felt it, but they didn't know who it was…
I think it's time to reintroduce ourselves, wouldn't you agree?
Sounds like fun. Let's do it!
The mysterious presence came closer to where Night was hiding. He tensed, prepared to fight his way out if he needed to. That is, until the person stopped and laughed.
"Night, do you really think I'd attack you?!" she laughed.
"Tras? Is that you?!"
"Close…the name's Star Hikawa. Miss me brother?"
"I thought you were dead…"
"I will be if you don't quiet down! He's coming back!" exclaimed Star as she dove into the cave and landed beside Night.
Shadow felt the presence. He was surprised and annoyed at the fact that she was still around.
"I don't know how you survived. But I'll fix that soon enough…" cackled Shadow.
Then, the aura vanished. Like it wasn't there to begin with! He was confused and frustrated.
"First Night disappears and now she vanishes right after I sensed her! Can this day get any more annoying?!" Shadow roared into the evening.
After he passed once again, Star sat up and looked at Night. She grinned and said, "You do realize that it's almost Dark don't you? Sun sets in 4 minutes!"
"What happened to you sis? I thought they'd killed you!"
"They did. I'm no longer Tras Niri. She died and I came back."
"So, you're back to being a Hikawa now?"
"Yup. And this time, I won't let him kill the people I care about!"
"Star…"
"Look, the sun's starting to set! We'll wait for another ten minutes before you leave."
"What about you? What are you going to do?"
"To see an old friend…and to start the beginning of the end."
"The end of what?"
"To all this foolish bloodshed over our heritage! I have to gather our main allies so Shadow will never return."
"Sis, are you saying that you're going to kill my dad?!"
"Not kill, seal him away forever."
"I doubt that anyone can pull that off. It's impossible!"
"I wouldn't say that. You've already started his downfall."
"What?"
"By refusing to go through the initiation, and actually allowing Argentine, not Shadow to be your alternate ego, you've disrupted the cycle. Now is the best chance I have to stop him from killing people ever again. Look, while we've been talking, the sun has set. You have to get to the city before sunrise or they'll spot you!"
"Star, I don't want to lose you again! After you talk to Satoshi and Krad, promise me you'll come back to me…"
"Night…I promise that I'll return to see you again."
"Until then, little sister. Alley-oop!" said Night as he jumped out of the cave.
"Hey bro, do you want to see the Hikawa family guardian?"
"Sure. Is she like Luna?"
"Think of her as a female version of Krad, only she's more agreeable!" laughed Star as she transformed. She flew away into the night sky and gave him an evil grin. Then she was gone from his line of sight. He sighed.
"Nice. I wonder when I'll be able to transform…"
