Ai no Hoshi, Star of Love: Searching for Love By Chibi Star Fighter
Chapter 5
Iie... Sacrifices
"IIE!!! SEIYA!!!!" Healer was close to tears. She pulled Seiya's body closer to her with a sob. "Right after I'd gotten you back....." she cut off when she felt a hand on her cheek. Seiya's eyes fluttered open slightly. "Y-yat..en?"Healer looked down at her with her eyes filled with hot tears. "Seiya..."
"Y-yaten....I...i'm sorry...."
"Shhh...It's not your fault..." She ran a hand across Seiya's cheek.
"I love you..."
"I-..I love you too Seiya..." She pressed her face into Seiya's shoulder. "I love you too..."
The ravenhaired girl was becoming transparent. "I'm sorry....Yaten�"
Healer began to shake. "Seiya..no..." she tried to hold Seiya tighter but her arms end up coming together as Seiya disappeared in a flurry of sparkles. She screamed. "SEIYA!!!!!" After a few moments she clenched her fists and stood to face Wren.
The Inners were crying, Uranus and the other outers were standing, shocked.
Maker ran to Healer's side. "Kami..." she whiped around to Wren. "You witch..."
Sailor Moon glared at Wren. "How dare you!" The inenrs were trembling and frightened.
Healer steped forward with her hand out. "Give me back her Sailor Crystal... Now."
Wren was throwing the crystal up and down, catching it with one hand. "I'm afraid I can't do that. You see. If I gave it to you, then my race would be banished."
Healer growled. "Well in a minute there won't be enough of your race to BE banished!" she is really pissed ladies and gentlemen! The silver-haired girl raised her Star Yell. "Revenge is sweet isn't it? I may not get her back, but I will pay you back for what you just did..."
Wren smirked, unfazed. "If you destroy me, you destroy her Sailor Crystal."
Healer's eyes narrowed but she lowered her Star Yell none the less.
Wren smirked. "I'm sure you're curious as to how your little Seiya became the key to my race's existence."
Healer looked down with a sharp shake of her head. "No. I just want you dead. But since you've got my attention, tell me anyway."
"Every few generations of the Fighter family, a princess' Sailor Crystal has an extra power sealed inside it. *holds Seiya's Sailor Crystal up* That extra power is what holds our world in check because her ancestor sealed us away, if she dies with her Sailor Crystal, our world will die along with her. But if her Sailor Crystal is intact, out world will remain."
" Couldn't you just find a way to extract that power and not kill her?!"
"Even if I could, I wouldn't. It is too late now. You are not getting this crystal back. So I suggest that you leave."
"It's never too late! If you have love your people, why don't you respect that other people love her?!"
Wren sneered. "Like you? Don't make me laugh."
Healer took a single step back. "What is that supposed to mean?!"
Maker was watching the exchange without interrupting. The Outers, after seeing Yaten's temper earlier, are afraid they'd get blasted if they interrupted. And the Inners were afraid anyway.
"Her heart has been broken before. It is just going to get broken again."
"No it's not!" She swung her arm outward in a wide gesture toward the Sol Senshi. "We're all her friends, we're all here because we wanted to save her, we WANTED her to live!"
"Are you sure you just didn't want to lose the power she posessed?"
Healer narrowed her eyes. "I didn't care about her power! I am a Sailor Senshi as well, we were equal on all grounds!"
"Did you honestly think it would work out?"
"What would work out?"
Wren raised her star extractor gun. "Would you like to join your little Seiya?"
Healer's head shot up and she stared into Wren's glowing eyes. "Yes." She closed her eyes and her own Sailor Crystal appeared in her hands.
"YATEN NO!" Curer screamed.
Healer gently held it in front of her with one hand.
"YATEN-KUN!! STOP!" Venus screamed.
Healer looked at them. "Goodbye, minna...." and she allowed it to fall from her fingers.
"YATEN!!!!!!"
Healer dehenshined with a bunch of feathers and collapsed as soon as her Sailor Crystal left her hand. The Inners stared in horror. The Outers were shocked by Yaten's sacrifice. "Do something Pluto!" Neptune shouted.
"I...can't, she did this of her own free will...."
"THERE MUST BE SOMETHING!" Moon cried.
Yaten's Sailor Crystal shattered when it hit the ground. Curer let out a peircing scream. Maker fell to her knees. "Healer...Fighter� No...Yaten....and Seiya..."
Wren smirked. "Two Starlights down."
Maker closed her eyes as Yaten's body shimmered away in a flurry of sparkles. After getting over her initial sorrow, she stood and glared at Wren who sneered. "Wittle Starwight wana pway with Wreny?"
Maker glared at her even more. "Boku wa Korosu..." (I will kill you.)
Wren smirked. "I think not."
Maker ran at Wren then disappeared halfway to her because she was running so fast you couldn't see her. Wren blinked. The narrowed her eyes. "Just remember Starlight. I have your other friend's Sailor Crystal. Now that it is out of her body I can shatter it without risking my race."
Maker laughed cruelly as she advanced on Wren. "It's not that much of a problem for me now. I don't have as much emotion in me as Healer, or Fighter." The way it came out of her voice caused a shiver to run down all the senshi's spines. Never get Maker really mad.
"MAKER!! STOP IT!" Generator screamed.
The brunette turned her head sharply to Generator and her eyes narrowed dangerously. "I'm killing the witch, isn't that what everyone wants?"
"WE DON'T NEED TO LOSE ANYMORE STARLIGHTS!"
"We come in trios we die in trios. And it's just so fitting that the Maker should also be a destroyer... she has a choice... give me Fighter's Sailor Crystal, or die."
"Maker. Don't lose your cool. If you let your emotions run away with you, you won't be able to control your power. You know that."
Maker took in a deep breath and spoke with a deadly cool. "Give me her Sailor Crystal, Wren." Wren was very afraid by the anger, and accidentally droped the crystal.
"NO!" Battler screamed, running and catching it at the last second. Maker decked Wren.
Generator moved her hands slightly. "Let me see the crystal Battler."
Seiya collapsed into Yaten's arms.
XD ALMOST DONE! ONE MORE CHAPPY!!! R & R!!!
