Vol. 16

Chapter 62

Back at Vivian's house, the three placed her sleeping body into her bed and kept watch over her. Jovana looked out the window looking concern. "But where could Luna be?"

"Really, what a useless woman. Where is she fooling around when we really need her?" Selina complained.

"It wouldn't surprise me. But in the other hand, something must have happened to her." Said Hermione. Selina looked around in Vivian's room and saw something that knocked her socks off.

"Holy crap! This is the new God of War: Ascension PS3 game!" Selina held out the game.

"You've got to be kidding me, Selina."

"We still don't know when Admete will come for her again." Added Jovana.

"But I can't believe that a teenager like this has the Iris Gem."

"We absolutely can't let her turn into a Spirit." As the two where talking of serious business, Selina was busy playing video games. They haven't realized the buckle wasn't glowing anymore.

In the sewers, Admete used the Sunstone to light her way as she crawls through the stinking tunnels. "It's near. It's very near to me. That punk is around here..." She placed her hand on the wall to support herself. She then feel something moving and soft. She looked to the wall. Warm? She shone the light more to the wall and found out she was in a tunnel filled with mice. The colour of her skin turned green and she scream to top of her lungs. She ran out of the tunnel as quickly as possible. "A swarm of mice!" She ran back through the main sewage as the swarm followed her.

In the downtown core, Marcella was walking around bored and depressed. "Where could Eddie be? There goes a Sunday to waste." She said to herself.

"Marcella!" Called out a voice. She turned to see who it was.

"Caron? Oh, yeah. You have the day off today too, don't you?"

"Yeah, but I've got nothing to do. Would you like to go do something with me?" He asked with guts.

"Well...Let me think."

"That's right. There's no way a wonderful woman like you wouldn't have plans."

"Of...Of course..." She lied!

"I understand. Bye!" Caron walked off.

"Uhhh..." Marcella turned to stopped him but didn't bother. "Rats, you left so quickly. 'Gone with the Wind'" Marcella felt even more depressed.

Back in the sewers, Luna and Clark were looking for a way to get out. "Really, I don't see a way out." Luna complained. She stopped and sat by the wall. "This has to be my unlucky day. In the first place..." Before Luna could say anymore she saw that Clark has a big cut on his arm. "What happen? You injured your arm." She carefully took his arm to get a closer of his wound, it hurt and he took his arm back.

"That hurts!" He said.

"Oh, sorry." She took her bandage dressing off and wrapped it around his wound. "Did you get hurt trying to save me?" She asked and he looked away. "You did that for me? Don't tell me you...like me?" At that moment, he blushed. "Oh, boy...well there's nothing wrong with that." She then heard squealing from behind Clark, she look over his shoulder to see what it was. Admete was running for her dear life and saw the man ahead of her.

"There you are!" She yelled out.

"Admete!" Luna spat out.

"At last! The seventh Great Spirit!" She continue to yell out.

"What? You have the Iris Gem?" Luna looked for a tunnel to escape through. "Hurry. She can't follow us in here." Luna suggested.

"You won't escape from me!" Admete continue to run.

"What the HELL is that?!"Luna saw a cloud of gray fluff behind Admete. She slipped into the tunnel behind Clark. Admete made it to the tunnel and slipped in also.

"Me too!" The mice continue to follow her through the tunnel. Clark was crawling as fast as he can and Luna kept up. She look over her shoulder and saw Admete catching up fast. "I will have the Iris Gem." Admete couldn't go any faster and got swallowed in by the swarm of vermin. The swarm moved even faster causing Luna to freak out. Luna started to push Clark's bottom.

"Hurry up, Clark!"

"HEY! Quit pushing! I'm moving as fast as I can." Clark saw something ahead. "Hey, I see light!"

"That's the exit!"

On the bridge over a valley (where the sewage is connected), Marcella was reflecting on what happened today. "I should have gone on a date with Caron after all." Marcella saw someone running in the valley. "Who's that crazy couple? WHAT! LUNA! She's got a date? She's doing okay." Marcella wondered what they were running from. A cloud of gray fur bursts out of the tunnel chasing after the two. "What in God's name is that?!"

Selina was still playing the addictive video game. "Holy shit! Selina's buckle isn't reading anything. Why didn't I notice that earlier?" Hermione panicked as she pointed out Selina's pants.

"That means...This girl isn't it. But why was it reading before?" Jovana wondered with Hermione and then they clicked. "Could it be..."

"Of course! It's that bloody man who ran out the door!" Hermione figure it out.

"NOOOO! I'm dead!" Selina flipped over the game.

The two continue to run from the swarm. "Run faster!" Luna told Clark. The swarm past through them and knocked them off their feet. The swarm formed a person shape and it spoke out.

"So misfortune turns into luck." Admete's eyes appeared through the swarm. "Well...So long as I get the result..." Luna was dumbstruck and had no idea what to do.

"Iron Fist, Collide!" A rush of force blasted though the valley and aimed at Admete and her swarm. She dodge it by moving slightly and in the process, Luna dodge the impact and fell down the valley awkwardly. The swarm started to dissipate revealing more of Admete. She looked to where the attack came from. "For love and justice, the strong Guardian suited warrior, Guardian Mars...has arrived! I won't let you interfere with their relationship! Even for punks like him, love is love!" Luna recovered and climbed back to the ledge.

"You're wrong!" She yelled out.

"The iron heart burns with love and rages in justice! You who ruin pure human love...er...odd love...Under the name of Mars, I will beat you!" Admete leaned back and giggle.

"Fool. Samos!" Admete release the Sunstone and activated. Marcella wasn't sure what Admete was doing.

"Find out the situation before you speak." Yelled out Luna. Clark moved back and away from Admete.

"Now I will have the Iris Gem for sure." The Sunstone rain over Clark giving him a great deal of pain. A violet gem appeared and flew out to Admete. Marcella went closer to the man but was too late. He was already transforming.

"Clark!" Yelled out Luna. The man transformed into a werewolf of violet fur and gold cuffs and a gold collar. His eyes were beaming yellow. "Oh my God, Clark. You're Lycaon." Luna was distraught.

"Now get them, Great Spirit! There's only one of them today, it's going to be an easy victory." Admete laughed away. But she stopped when a razor leaf slice through her face, making her drop the violet gem. "Ouch! My FACE!" Guardian Earth came down and snatched the gem away from her.

"I will have the last Iris Gem. Farewell." He ran off. Admete stood up and snapped.

"HEY! Guardian Earth! Hold it! Stop!" She chased after him. Lycaon walked toward in a direction not sure of where it was going.

"This is terrible! It's heading into downtown." Marcella panicked. Luna ran in front of him.

"Don't!"

"Luna!"

"No, no, no, no, NO!" Lycaon stop and stood still when he saw her. "Please, stay still. We'll return you to your original self soon." Luna was about to cry. Lycaon roared at her. She back up for distance but slipped and fell down the valley.

"Luuuuuuna!" Marcella felt helpless. Lycaon leaped down and caught Luna in his arms. He looked at her with his intense eyes. She did the same.

"Clark..." Luna saw the bandage still on his arm, she placed her hand there. "You'll be okay. Selina will return you to your original self." Luna's tears ran down her cheeks. Marcella was amazed.

"The iron heart still burns of love after all." Marcella started to cry. Lycaon held on to Luna tightly and Luna did the same.

"Quicksilver Haze, Surround!"

"Oh no! Don't throw cold water on the flame of love!" Marcella yelled out. Jovana in her Jupiter self, jumped into action. Lycaon was confused and looked around him. Jovana grabbed Luna away from him and run for cover. "Guardian Jupiter!"

"Sorry to be late." Admitted Selina in her Moon self.

"It's about time, what took you so long?" Yelled out Marcella.

"I'm sorry, I was very careless." Added Hermione.

"It's certainly not that Selina was playing a video game." Said Jovana.

"Really. It's not Selina's fault at all." Continue Hermione.

"You two aren't helping me much." Selina said.

"SHUT UP!" Luna threw herself out of Jovana's grip and stood on her two feet. "Come on! This is no time for stand up comedy, you three!" Luna was still in tears.

"Oh, yeah. Alright!" Selina saw the werewolf walking out. Selina took out her discus and prepare it into a white blade. "White Moon, Heal My Aim!" Selina whipped the discus to the beast and showered it in dust. The man collapse in exhaustion.

"Oh, thank Olympus." Sighed Luna with a smile.

Later on, Clark was hugging Vivian. "Oh my, you had me really worried." Said Vivian. Selina checked up on them.

"They look so happy." Said Selina.

"Don't you want to say good bye to your boyfriend?" Marcella asked Luna. The other three looked at her in shock.

"Luna! You have something going with that cat?!" Asked Jovana.

"What are you talking about?" Luna was in the middle.

"Woo, woo! Go for it, Luna! Liking the bad boys!" Selina cheered on.

"You too, Selina? Don't make up stories, alright?" Luna look back to Clark and has a big smile across her face.
