Chapter 4: Darkened Hearts
Milfeulle woke up later on and noticed that she was in a newer room and asked, "Where am I? This is not the Lucky Star Kingdom." She felt the chill of her surroundings and crossed her arms and shivered. "It's so cold." "Ah, the princess has woken up from her slumber and I thought I was going to wake her up with my own lips." She heard Eonia say and turned and asked. "Who are you?" "I am prince Eonia and I had my friends of the Hell Hounds bring you here." He answered as he walked over. "Why did you bring me here?" she asked. "Because I wanted your light of course, the light that you hold is strong and warm and it's the light I need to bring to this kingdom." He answered. She gasped and yelled, "No, no, you can't take it away, my light brings life to my kingdom without it, they will die!" "Like if I care if a kingdom like yours lives or dies all I want is my kingdom to get out of its cold and dark state and able to be one to admire besides yours and the Transbaal Kingdom combined!" Eonia exclaimed and cackled. Milfeulle trembled in fear and thought, Mint, Ranpha, Forte, Chitose, Vanilla, Rico, where are you? Help me please! Somewhere in the galaxy, the angel frames and the Lucky Ciel were on their way to the Dark Star Kingdom on the planet Cerberus. Ranpha suddenly heard Milfeulle's thought and she gasped and said, "Princess Milfeulle…" Her Kung-Fu Fighter swerved and alsost ran into Forte's Happy Trigger. "Hey, what where you're flying Ranpha!" Forte yelled. "Sorry, I got a very strong thought from the princess." Ranpha said. "Eh?" Forte asked. "What was it?" Mint asked. "It was a cry for help." Ranpha answered. "The cry for help might've disrupted your well-being causing the frame to swerve." Chitose said. "Probably, but we better hurry, I have a bad feeling that something bad is going to happen to her." Ranpha said. "Right." The others said. They kept on flying towards the planet. They arrived and were about to enter the atmosphere. In Eonia's palace, Riserva noticed something on the radar while he was standing guard in the tower and said, "This ls interesting." "What is it?" Guinness asked as he walked over and saw the blips on the radar. "Looks like we have intruders." Riserva said. "By the looks of things that those girls came to rescue their beloved princess." Guinness said. "We should tell Eonia." Riserva told him. "Right." Guinness said and the both of them found Eonia in his throne room and told him about what they found. "So, the Lucky Star Kingdom decided to come after all, let them come, I think I can handle them." Eonia told them. "Are you sure your majesty?" Guinness asked. "Can't we go after them since they are just above us?" Riserva asked. "No, just let them arrive, I have a plan in store for them." Eonia answered. "Well, if you say so sir." Riserva said.
Ranpha, Forte, Mint, Chitose, Vanilla, Normad, Apricot, Lester, and Takuto were running down the halls of the palace. "Hey Ranpha, do you have an idea where Milfeulle is?" Forte asked. "I don't know but I have a feeling that she's nearby." Ranpha answered. "Well you better point us in the right direction because I am starting to get even more mad at the guys that took her!" Forte yelled. Mint's ears suddenly went up and down and she stopped suddenly. The others stopped and turned to her. Takuto asked, "What is wrong Mint?" "I think I might've sensed her." She answered. "Eh?" Lester asked. "This way." She answered and lead the way down a corridor where at the end they saw Milfeulle lying on the floor. "Princess!" Forte yelled and ran over to her and lifted her up a little. Ranpha felt a very deep chill and said, "Forte, look out, that's not her!" "Huh?" she asked. She heard a cackle and the Milfeulle she was holding turned her head and revealed herself to be Vermouth and Forte screamed. Vermouth kicked Forte down. Forte hit the floor and fell on her arm and cringed in pain. "Forte!" Mint yelled. Vermouth stood up and said, "You are such fools, you fell into our trap!" "What?" Takuto asked. "Red-Eye the cage!" Vermouth exclaimed. Red-Eye pressed the button and a cage on top of them. "Hey, let us go!" Lester yelled. "Yeah and give us Milfeulle back!" Normad yelled. "Never, her light is ours." Vermouth said as he ripped the dress, wig, and halo off. "Why would you want the light of our kingdom? This kingdom is too dark for it to shine and not only that your hearts are too dark for it! You don't understand…" Chitose stopped as Guinness pointed the gun at her. "Say another word or I will blow your head off." He told her. She gasped. "So, what's this trap of yours? Keep us in a cage?" Forte asked. She had her hand on her injured arm. "Exactly." Vermouth answered. "Man, you guys need to think up something original." Forte told them. "Why not torment for a little while as well? This cage is no ordinary cage, with the push of the other button, we can do this." Camus said as he pressed the other button and electricity shocked their captives. They screamed in pain and the electricity went off and they went to their knees. "Very useful, give me that!" Vermouth exclaimed as he took the control and pressed the button and shocked them and started cackling as he heard them screams. "Enough Vermouth." They all heard. They looked up to see Eonia coming over. "Who are you?" Takuto asked as he breathed heavily. "I am Prince Eonia of the Dark Star Kingdom and you have trespassed in quarters." Eonia told him. "Wait, it can't be, the Prince Eonia who was bom the Transbaal Kingdom years ago." CHitose said. "Wait, what did he try to do?" Forte asked. "Way before you and the rest of us became part of the Lucky Star court, Shatoyan had an older son, which happened to be Eonia, once he tried to take over Transbaal with an uprise saying that the Queen Shatoyan was an irresponsible queen and leading her kingdom into turmoil especially after Shiva's birth. He was thrown into the dungeon which didn't hold him enough then it lead to banishment to this planet." Chitose said. "I guess being a scientist has its perks." Forte said. "I am also a historian." Chitose said. "Well put Miss Karasuma, your father would've been pleased to know about your knowledge." Eonia said. "How'd you know my father!?" she yelled. "He tried to take some of the comet that hit this kingdom and try to find the components of its material but I had him killed." Eonia said. "No!" she yelled. "You are such a snake!" Mint yelled. "Why thank you, if you all are wondering about your beloved princess, she's in my suite and I am not going to give her back." Eonia said. "What? You think one light will help your darkened heart?" Normad snapped. "God can't help the evil." Vanilla said. "Maybe I should take all of yours, starting with Miss Karasuma's!" Eonia exclaimed. "What?" she asked. Eonia took the star charm off of her choker and she passed out. "No Chitose!" Ranpha yelled. Lester held her up and felt her head and said, "She has a fever." "What? How?" Takuto asked. "We need to get out of here and have her get medical attention." Mint said. "How can we get out of here then?" Ranpha asked. "I think I know how, hey Vanilla, a little help?" Forte asked. Vanilla nodded and came over and healed Forte's arm. "That's much better! Now stand back everyone." Forte exclaimed and went over to the cage bars and grabbed them and started pulling them. "Are you crazy? Those bars are made out of the strongest steel ever!" Guinness exciaimed. "Let's see about that!" Forte exclaimed as she pulled harder and the charm on her wrist glowed and she pulled them apart and went through. "All right Forte!" Ranpha exclaimed as she followed and the others did the same. "Why you…" Guinness said. "Guys, get Chitose back to the Lucky Ciel while I take care of Mr. Scar Face and his little friend!" Forte exclaimed as she took her gun out. "See you back there!" Mint exclaimed as she and the others ran off. "Not so fast!" Riserva yelled and went after Ranpha. Ranpha started fighting him and yelled, "Hurry you guys!" The others ran out of the palace and ran back to the Lucky Ciel.
Lester laid Chitose on a bed in the sick bay where nurses ran over to take care of her. "I wonder why she fainted." Takuto said. "I don't know either she was fine earlier and also she is the only one who knows about the frames and possibly get the princess back." Lester said. "She's not the only one, I know about the frames, the reason why she built them is because she wanted to find a way to avenge for what happened to her father." Volcott told them. "Wait, Eonia did tell us earlier that he had her father killed while he was on this planet." Lester said. "Oh my." Volcott said. "This Eonia guy is more slimier than those Hell Hounds by the sounds of it, whatever he is going to do with the princess after this planet lights up, it may be a little worse than what the Lucky Star Kingdom might be going through now." Lester said. Both Takuto and Volcott nodded in agreement.
