The Forest Guardians Final Chapter
Kusto tried to get near to her, but Toku pulled him down to his knees. Kusto growled in anger and managed to snatch himself out of his grip and he grabbed Cassie in his hands.
"NO!" Rachel screamed, beating on his hands trying to get him to release her.
"NO! PUT MY BABY GIRL DOWN!" Four Arms yelled. Everyone paused at his words and even he looked shocked at what he just said! But Kusto shook it off and smirked a little at hearing Toku's malicious growls behind him.
"You can't harm me with this young one in my hands."
"You hurt her even more and I will show you no mercy." He snarled between his clenched teeth.
"I am not interested in harming her. She proved to me that there was more to these humans than met the eye. She assisted me when your four-armed body guard over there ripped my fin to shreds." Kusto replied, now sitting on the ground and gently cradling her to his body.
"Please, please, please," Rachel whispered through watery, tear-filled eyes, praying this To'kustar was not going to kill her best friend and turn on them!
But he didn't.
He gently began breathing over Cassie and he rubbed some of his own blood over her wounds. She began to sweat and squirm in pain, but he kept going.
"What's he doing?" Four Arms asked.
"He's healing her. Apparently, by their blood connecting during their last encounter, her body will accept his blood in this healing process." Chromastone responded, now walking up and watching them.
"I just want her to wake up," Four Arms responded anxiously.
"We all do." Rook responded gently.
Kusto continued to breathe over her and she slowly let her eyes open. But the minute he was about to say something, Cassie grabbed his finger and began kissing it. His large eyes widened in shock.
"I knew you would save me, Kusto. You're not the evil monster people thought you were," Cassie whispered weakly.
"I-…,"
"She's right." Rachel chimed in. "If you were as evil as people thought, you would have destroyed us all, but you didn't."
"But he is still a wanted criminal." Toku responded. "I am still going to take him back to our planet for his trial."
"He won't die, will he?!" Cassie asked anxiously.
"We do not kill our own. More than likely he will be banished."
"Banished?!"
"Yes."
Cassie looked down but she knew that Toku was right in that Kusto needed to pay for his crimes. Cassie nodded in understanding and felt Kusto gently lift her head up with his index finger.
"Are you crying, young one?" He whispered. Cassie sadly nodded. "Do not fret. We will see each other again."
And with those words, Kusto knelt his head down and kissed her gently on the head. Suddenly, there was a huge flash of light! Once everyone's eyes adjusted, Kusto was gone!
"Where'd he go?!" Cassie asked, noticing she was gently placed in the soft grass.
"He's escaped!"
"We've got to find him!"
"We will another day. Kusto will reveal himself when he wants to. And when he does, we will find him." Toku responded. He then turned to Rachel and the others. "You both will always have a home here, but I am afraid that our time is almost up.
"What do you mean?" Rachel asked.
"He and the others were only here to protect us. Now that they have caught Vilgax, their job is done."
"B-But you guys are like family to us!" Rachel begged.
"And you are family to us too, Rachel," Chromastone replied, gently hugging her.
"But we can't stay here forever," Swampfire replied as he and Big Chill came closer.
"I know." Cassie said sadly.
"The world is not ready to meet aliens again. When Earth is ready, we will return." Toku replied, kneeling down and gently nuzzling the girls.
"But where are you all from?! When are you coming back?!"
"We may not be coming back." Four Arms replied sadly. Cassie and Rachel looked horrified. Unable to hold it in, both girls got up and ran back towards their house!
"WAIT!" Rook called.
"Come back!" Big Chill added.
"Please don't go!" Four Arms yelled. But the girls ran to their rooms and began to sob harshly. They were about to lose the only family they ever knew!
2 hours later…
The girls sadly walked into their room and began to get ready for bed. It had to be one of the most unnerving and heartbreaking days they had ever had.
"Maybe we should have just stayed at the orphanage." Cassie said sadly, turning to the wall. Rachel slowly climbed into bed and gently nudged her.
"Hey, you know it was bad there."
"Yeah, I know, but…,"
"C'mere." Rachel said, gently turning her friend around and hugging her. "Look. I know today was hard, but at least we have each other right?"
"Yeah." Cassie smiled softly, gently hugging her back. The two were about to fall asleep until Cassie felt something!
"R-Rachel…," Cassie giggled.
"What is it?"
"S-Stop tickling me!" Cassie giggled more.
"B-But I'm not…tickling…you," Rachel laughed, now feeling herself being tickled.
"Then who is tickling us!" Cassie laughed. Both girls then looked at the end of the bed and saw Big Chill and Chromastone smiling at them. Both girls gasped in shock because they didn't even hear or see the guardians come in!
"Now those are nice smiles." Chromastone smiled.
"We will be leaving soon." Big Chill added.
"You already told us that," Cassie said sadly, now going under the blanket, feeling upset again. Big Chill chuckled and lifted up the cover on the end of the bed and went under there after her. Soon, Cassie was squirming and laughing as the alien began tickling her. Chromastone gently moved Rachel so she wouldn't get hit by their playful fight.
"You all didn't let us finish earlier." Chromastone smiled warmly. Rachel looked gently away, but he lightly placed a peck on her forehead. "We want you both to come with us."
"What?!" Rachel said in shock and happiness.
"It's true!" A voice added. Both turned and saw Toku looking in their window. "We have been discussing you two and we decided you both need someone to look after you."
"So we decided that you both need to leave Earth and return with us." Four Arms smiled, looking in the other window.
"This is the best day ever!" Rachel smiled. Cassie managed to squirm out of the covers, when she was grabbed by Big Chill as he planted frosty and playful kisses on her neck.
"I can't believe we are going to live in outer space!" Cassie exclaimed happily!
"Now we have two things we need to complete." Toku smiled. "First, you both need to breathe in outer space."
And with those words, Rachel saw Rook gently walk in and place his hands softly on her face. He pulled her in for a kiss and their lips locked. She could feel him breathing deeply into her lungs and after a few moments he let go. She gasped a bit and held her chest.
"Easy. You are alright. That will help you to breathe better now in space." He smiled, hugging her. She blushed and softly hugged him back. Cassie was so busy looking at them that she didn't notice another guardian approaching her. She looked and saw a large wolf-like creature coming towards her and before she could yelp, he lightly grabbed her and placed a kiss on her lips. He breathed into her lungs as well and after a few minutes, he let her go. She stood in shock at the new alien in front of her.
"Don't be afraid. I am another guardian. I volunteered to be your personal one from now on. I'm Blitzwolfer." He smiled. Cassie smiled and blushed gently, looking away. "Now don't be shy. Let's get to know one another, Cassie." He laughed, pouncing on her and licking her.
"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HOW DO YOU KNOW MY NAME?!" She laughed out.
"I have been watching you, but they told me that I needed to wait before I revealed myself so I wouldn't' scare you." He chuckled, still pinning her down. "So what do ya say? Will you let me be your guardian?"
"Well, I…uh…,"
"I won't take no for an answer by the way," He said now licking her ears. She giggled and squirmed and reached up to hug him.
"Of course, Blitz!" She laughed.
"And now for the second part," Toku replied. "Parents."
"But don't get guardians mixed up with parents." Four Arms said, now coming closer to them.
"Parents?" Rachel asked.
"Yes. I have volunteered to be your father from now on and Four Arms will be Cassie's." Chromastone replied with a happy grin. "That is, if you both accept us."
"WE ACCEPT!" The girls laughed as they ran and hugged their new family.
"Now." Toku began and everyone turned to look at him. "Let us go home." And with those words, he opened up a new portal and everyone began to walk through.
"Ready Cassie? For a new life?"
"Yes. I'm ready." Cassie smiled, gently holding her friend's hand.
"Then let's go!" Rachel beamed. And with those words, the two walked through the portal with their new guardians and family. They were leaving Earth, but beginning a new adventure.
