Sorry for the long delay... I was having trouble sorting out how to write this chapter... so started a new one and was writing chapters for that... and now we're an entire planet behind the anime DX Anyways, here it is (finally) and I hope you'll enjoy it! Don't hesitate to ask for confirmation and stuff about what is happening.

Episode 38: Dorudella: Servant's Wish

"Piku..." A blue fairy-like creature flew around leading a blue aquatic alien. Red coloured fins covered her body as she struggled to keep her conscious in the intense heat.

"Are we almost there, Blue? Are we almost where Prince Water is?"

"Piku piku." The fairy cried as it kept flying ahead.

Looking into that direction, the alien saw a train-shaped space ship. Gasping she started to pick up the pace. People!?

Ygg carried Water on his back as they walked towards the Mystic Cavern.

"Say, Water..." Ygg started, "How much farther does Ygg have to walk?"

"O-only a bit..." The prince stammered.

"Okay."

Han kept his distance from them, specifically, Water.

"Are you okay?" Tenma asked.

Han smiled, "don't worry about me, Captain. I'm fine."

Tenma was not convinced, but nodded, "If anything's troubling you, don't hesitate to ask." He added before walking ahead.

Han let out a soft sigh. I'm getting soft. He thought, letting someone, an earthling, notice.

Tenma went up to Zephyr, "How long have you known Han?" He asked.

Zephyr frowned at the sudden question, "only for about 2 years, no a year and a half... Closer to a year in Earth's time."

"I guess it is different depending on planets." Tetsukado exclaimed.

"Isn't that obvious..." Zephyr sighed. He turned towards Tenma, "If you're trying to find out what's bothering Han, I suggest you stop."

"Huh?"

"People don't like being pushed, if he wants to tell you, he'll tell you." Zephyr smiled.

Tenma looked down at his hands, "I guess you're right..."

Tetsukado changed the mood, "Hey, could you tell us more about Melfelse? We were only for a short while."

Ygg and Water pricked their ears, "I want to know too!" They smiled in unison.

"Haha... Melfelse, huh..." Ibuki laughed nervously remembering his experience outside the walls.

Zephyr thought for a bit, "Well right now there are only 4 continents left; 5 if you count the Arcania headquarters."

"Only that many?"

"Tenebrae have taken most of our land." Zephyr sighed.

"Tell us a bit about the continents," Tetsukado suggested.

"Well the West continent, Byakko, is where the humans live. Like Guardon, has lots of machines."

"Guardon!?" Ibuki gasped.

"Down South, Suzaku is where the Elves live. There are currently two types, Snow Elves who live in the Lowerland and the Sky Elves who live in the Skyland."

Ygg twitched his ears, "floating island!"

"Next in the East, Seiryuu, is where the dragonis live. I heard its surrounded in nature."

"So where Komori's from?"

"Uh, yeah." Zephyr nodded, "and finally in the North, Genbu, is where the Feyra live. It snows there almost all year, I personally can't stand it there." Zephyr sniffed.

"So where did you come from?" Tetsukado asked.

Zephyr froze. When he didn't answer Tenma called the boy's name.

"Ah, sorry. I'm from Byakko originally." Zephyr answered and continued talking as if nothing had happened.

Water seemed to notice something, but kept his mouth shut.

Shindou took a deep breath before he finally decided to ask Alicia about her motives.

The Shadowborn chuckled, "Oh, no real objective. We rarely do things with a valid reason. Something tells us to... do things... instinct, I believe."

Shindou frowned, "Are all Shadowborn like you?"

Alicia bursted out into laughter, "Was Liberta anything like me? Of course not! I think it has to do mostly with what we desired most during our death."

"D-death...!?" Wait...did she just mention Liberta?

Nacht sighed, "Alicia may not look it, but she's over 200 years old."

"Shadowborn keep the form they had on the time of our first death."

Shindou gulped, "H-how did you... die?"

"Hmm..." Alicia thought for a bit, "Sure, I don't mind..."

"Reading manga again...?" Narukami sighed.

Alsius lay on the floor of the rec room reading. She didn't bother looking up at Narukami when he spoke to her.

"Why are you so mad?" The boy asked.

Alsius let out a deep sigh as she closed her book, "I don't want to tell you, got it?"

Narukami frowned, but nodded.

"Just remembered some stuff I didn't want to..." Alsius mumbled.

"Oh... right... Then I'll leave." Narukami stuttered.

Alsius smiled, "It's weird isn't it... how people on Earth would've asked about my past while back home, in Melfelse, its taboo to ask such thing."

Narukami stopped, "Yeah... It's strange isn't it..." He finished before walking out of the room.

"Hmm... Interesting..." Minaho whispered to himself. He had overheard the two Melfen's conversation.

"Minaho-kun, what are you doing?" Manabe asked as he noticed his friend hiding.

"Oh, nothing..." Minaho started when they suddenly heard a loud scream.

"Wha, wha!?" The two immediately ran outside to see what was up. There he saw Komori standing face to face with an alien, an inhabitant of this planet.

"So that's what the people here look like..." Minaho observed, "Seems like they're fighting..."

"What are you doing, breaking my sword!" The alien growled.

Komori frowned, "Anyone would try to defend themselves if you bring a weapon up to them!"

"Hmf, what are you aliens doing here anyways!? We're not part of the Grand Celesta Galaxy, so leave us be!"

"Piku piku!"It was then the blue pixie flew in between the girls and stopped the fight.

"I-I am terribly sorry, Blue-sama..." The red scaled alien bowed.

"Piku piku~"

Komori gasped happily, "a blue pixie...!"

"Piku?" Pixie, the yellow one, flew out of the Galaxy Notes, to greet its new friend.

"Piku?"

"Piku~!"

The two fairy-like creatures started to dance around each other.

"K-kawaii..." Komori giggled.

Sighing, the scaled female alien threw her broken weapon onto the ground, "I am sorry for my disrespectful behaviour." She bowed once more and took off the mask she wore, "I am Benibara, Scarlet Rose. Call me Scarlet."

"I'm Komori." Komori nodded as she shook the alien's hand.

"Another Pixie..." Minaho frowned, "I wonder what that creature really is..."

Alicia suddenly pricked her ears. "Seems they finally found us..."

Shindou looked towards the entrance of the cave. People he reconginized arrived from there, "Tenma...!" Shindou wiped something from his eyes.

"Shindou-senpai!"

Alicia brightened up, "Han-chan! You came too!"

Han just snorted.

"We'll have you release Shindou, Shadowborn!" Zephyr growled.

"Nacht!"

The boy stood in front of Alicia, weapon held towards his enemies, "Come at me!"

"Do just like planned, Han." Zephyr instructed as he summoned a strong wind towards his enemies.

Nacht's arms transformed into large scaled claws and easily deflected Zephyr's attacks.

Han unleashed his soul, the black nekomata. His shadow stretched over to Shindou and quickly grabbed him to safety.

"Nice job, Han!" Ibuki grinned.

"Huh!?" Alicia pouted, "Nacht! They're getting away!"

Han started chanting some spells to take Shindou's bind away. Slowly the black mark faded off his face.

Nacht was still busy protecting them from Zephyrs attacks, "No can do!"

It was then Alicia paused as if she was receiving a message from someone. "Stupid Xerxes..." she whispered before returning to her smile, "Nacht, we leaving!"

"Wait!" Water ran up front to stop them, "The stone, which was here, where is it!?"

Alicia chuckled, "Sorry, I have no idea... but I believe Ozlock or someone like that took it a while back thinking it might be a mythril stone. Too bad he was wrong~."

"Where is it now!?" Water demanded.

Alicia thought for a bit. Before disappearing she answered the Doru's question, "Faram Obieus."

"Piku piku~."

"Piku?"

"Piku!"

"... I wonder what they are saying..." Konoha mumbled as she and Komori were watching the pixies talk.

"A blue one this time..." Narukami frowned.

Minaho put his hand on his chin smiling, "You talk as if you've seen more than two pixies, Narukami-kun."

"There was a green one with Ignals all the time... Called it Nerus or some weird ancient name." Narukami sighed.

"So are they a species which live on your planet?"

Narukami shook his head, "I've only seen the one on Melfelse..."

"...piku?"

Mizukawa turned head towards the door, "Seems they have returned." She stated calmly.

Sure enough, Tenma and the rest of the group, along with Shindou, entered the Galaxy Notes.

"W-water... anything to drink..." They gasped.

"Ah, yes!" Komori gasped and quickly ran into the kitchen along with Konoha.

"Captain, so glad to see you safe!" Kusaka smiled, "Shindou-san are you fine...?"

Shindou nodded after a slight pause. He seemed somewhat dazed. The midfielder glanced at each Melfelse player; who was the best to ask about them...?
