Chapter 2: Hell Hound Attack
In the Transbaal Kingdom, Takuto Meyers and Lester Cooldaras were having their overnight guarding duties in the towers that overlooked the rest of the land. Lester noticed the really dark cloud and lightning bolts coming out of it that was over the Lucky Star Kingdom and said, "Hey Takuto, take a look at that." "Hmm?" Takuto asked and he took the telescope out and looked over at where the cloud and asked, "Is it me or does it seem a lot darker there than here?" "Definitely something is going on over there, we should tell Shatoyan and Shiva about this and quick!" Lester answered. "Right!" Takuto exclaimed and went downstairs with him. Back in the Lucky Star Kingdom, Forte pulled out her gun and yelled, "Who are you and why are you here?" One of the figures came out of the mist and said, "We are the Hell Hounds and we came here to take your beloved princess away." "What? Why?" Mint asked. "Because she has the power we seek to light our planet and take away the darkness from it." Vermouth answered. "Mint, Chitose, Ranpha, Vanilla, take both of the princesses and run!" Forte said. "But you can't take those guys down on your own." Ranpha said. "Just go, I will be fine, if I die, I will die in honor!" Forte exclaimed. "Right, come on Rico and your majesty!" Mint exclaimed and she, the princesses, Ranpha, Vanilla, and Chitose ran off. "Hey Vermouth, should I take care of this babe? I need a good ass kicking." Guinness said. "Go ahead, I think you'll enjoy the taste of this so called luck from her while the others and I will try to find the main target. Come on Camus, Red-Eye, Rerserva." Vermouth said and ran ahead. The others followed leaving Guinness behind with Forte. Forte still held her gun out pointing at him. "Aw, a gun, usually I fight with swords!" Guinness exclaimed. "If you put it that way, I am willing to fight with a sword." Forte replied as she put her gun away and took her sword out. "Now that's more like it!" Guinness exclaimed as he took his out and charged at her and she swung hers to block it in time.
Meanwhile, Ranpha, Mint, Chitose, Vanilla, Normad, and the princesses were walking in hallways of the palace. "Not only our star lights in our charms are strong enough to light the way." Mint said. "Those men, they are no ordinary men." Ranpha said. "What'd you mean Ranpha?" Mint asked. "I saw them in my visions." Ranpha answered. "What'd you mean visions?" Chitose asked. "You didn't tell us any of this." Mint said. "But I did tell Vanilla, Normad, and Forte." Ranpha asked. "Then why didn't you tell me?" Milfeulle asked. "I didn't want to put you into any danger but I did and it's all my fault!" Ranpha exclaimed. "No it's not Ranpha, you didn't want to worry my sister." Apricot said. "She's right, thank you for being so front about it." Milfeulle said. "When you said that those men weren't ordinary men, I think I might've heard about the Hell Hounds and where they came from." Chitose said. They heard footsteps. "They're coming!" Normad exclaimed. "I know where we can go, come on!" Apricot exclaimed as she ran ahead. The girls followed her and they entered a passageway which lead them into a hidden lounge. "Wow, I didn't know this was here." Mint said. "Well, we never told anyone about it because it's used for emergencies only." Apricot told them. "Like now was a good time to use it, way to go Rico." Milfeulle said. "Now back to what I was saying, these men came from the Dark Star Kingdom by the charms that they were wearing. You see, that mist came from those charms and they can also control the powers of the dark star." Chitose said. "The Dark Star Kingdom?" Mint asked. "Ah yes, that kingdom is a cold planet far away that was also believed to be hit by very dark comet that caused the planet to turn into a very dark planet after the people possessed its power." Normad said. "Kind of like this kingdome." Ranpha said. "Exactly and now they are after Milfeulle because she may possess the power that brings the light to this kingdom." Chitose said, An hour passed since the commotion and they left the lounge and noticed that the mist had dissipated. "Whew, they're gone!" Mint exclaimed. "That's good, so glad my vision hasn't come true." Ranpha said. "You never know if it will or not." Normad said. "Finally I found you guys." They heard Forte and Milfeulle turned and noticed that Forte was limping over while holding her shoulder. "Forte!" she exclaimed. "Don't worry, it's just a scratch!" Forte exclaimed. Vanilla ran over and said, "Let me see your wound." "Eh?" Forte asked and took her hand off of her shoulder revealing a big gash. Vanilla placed her hand over it and a symbol appeared on her hand and she swiped her hand over it and the wound was gone. "Whoa!" Chitose exclaimed. "Now your leg." Vanilla said. Forte shown her swollen leg and Vanilla healed it. "You see, healing is one of Vanilla's specialities as a priestess." Normad said. "Well, we better start heading back to the throne room, I have a feeling those guys may come back." Ranpha said. They all nodded and they headed to the throne room.
Inside the throne room, the mist was still inside. "What the? I thought the mist left!" Forte exclaimed. They heard Milfeulle scream and they turned to see Vermouth holding her with a dagger at her neck. "Sister!" Apricot yelled. "Sorry, your sister is coming with me or unless you want to come and die!" Vermouth exclaimed. "Let her go!" Forte yelled as she pulled her gun out. "Don't shoot, if you do, your princess will die instead of me!" Vermouth exclaimed. "Damn it." Forte said as she put it away. "Well, if you excuse me, I have a kidnapping to finish, au de vois." He said and disappeared into the mist. "No your majesty!" Chitose yelled. The mist disappeared and Ranpha went to her knees and said, "It can't be, why did it have to happen? Why!?" She had tears in her eyes. "Don't worry Ranpha, we'll get her back." Chitose said. "Wait, how?" Ranpha asked. "Two things, the Transbaal Kingdom and something that Volcott and I have been working on for a while."
