Title:Wild Magic.Part 6 Author:Tapestry Email:Shaddow_Cat@hotmail.com Standard Disclaimer Apply *denotes thought @@@@ denotes change in flashback Mina and Kunzite... Kunzite was silent.....after Mina's story...He'd wanted to scold Mina for being so careless....this intricate young woman whom he'd fallen in love with....when she'd saved his life...(refer to Avalon) "Kunzite....??"came Mina's voice,breaking his thoughts. "Mina....How could you be so careless!!??Didn't you even consider the consequences if you were dead????"asked Kunzite. Mina frowned...."I don't see what's the big deal...." "You could have been killed!!"exclaimed Kunzite angrily. "But I was protecting my friends!!!"shouted Mina. "Mina..."began Kunzite. "I don't want to listen to your words!!!You're selfish and uncaring!! I hate you!!!It's my life,and I can sacrifice it,if I wish...but you wouldn't know sacrifice,now would you?????"spat Mina. "That's not true..."whispered Kunzite hoarsely.The remark stung and her words had hit home.... "It's not???Then why do you care if I don't care that I might die???!!!" shouted Mina sarcastically,walking ahead,leaving Kunzite to stand alone..... As Mina walked out of hearing range....Kunzite stared at the ground as a tear trickled down his face,falling onto the ground,disappearing.... "I care because I love you...."whispered Kunzite to no one in particular. The moon jewel hidden by his vest,glowed a dim silver colour,which went unnoticed by Kunzite as he stood there..... Mina sighed as she walked ahead,leaving Kunzite far behind.... *Kunzite.....you just don't understand me....I would sacrifice my life for my friends....I know you care...but I just try to protect you from her....*reasoned her mind. A slight chill blew through the forest...startling Mina. Mina clenched and unclenched her fist....her body tense...her eyes darted all around her....she could hear whispering....closing her eyes,she could feel the darkness smothering her...the hatred.....closing out her light and her love.... "Mina...." Mina's eyes snapped open. "Momma...??"asked Mina. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kunzite looked around for Mina but found her no where in sight.Quickly, he walked straight ahead to find his missing partner... After a 10 minute-walk,he found her....lying on the ground,unconscious. "Mina!!"exclaimed Kunzite rushing to her side. Mina lay still....unconscious...her breathing steady and strong.That was a good sign.... "C'mon girl...wake up."said Kunzite shaking her lightly. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Momma....is it really you???"asked Mina walking towards the woman who stood in the mist.... "Mina...." "Momma!!!"exclaimed Mina running towards the figure. Mina hugged the figure.... "Mina....come with me..."whispered the woman. Mina looked up with teary eyes...at the woman.She had long blonde hair and kind doe brown eyes.... "Momma??.....Go where??"asked Mina. "Follow me and Papa of course...."said the woman gesturing to another figure in the mist. Mina looked over her mother's shoulder....and saw another figure she hadn't seen since she was 3 years old....her father....he'd died from exhaustion,fighting a wild magic outbreak. "Papa....?" She recognized the kind face....he had sandy blonde hair and sky blue eyes.She missed him.... "Am I dead???"asked Mina suddenly. "No...you're not....darling....but why bother to fight???You can never win....and there's nothing to fight for anyway.."reasoned her mother. "Nothing to fight for???You're wrong!!!There's my frien-"began Mina as she pulled away from her mother's embrace. "Your friends???Are they really your friends,my child??"asked her mother. Mina was silent.... "Momma...how can you say that???"asked Mina with teary eyes. "Because....it's true...."said her mother. "Nothing to fight for...??What of Avalon..??"asked Mina. "Avalon never did anything us....the Avalonians never did anything for us....why fight for it??Fight for those strangers you don't even know??" asked her mother. "Nothing to fight for....."whispered Mina sadly. "That's right dear daughter...nothing to fight for..."whispered her mother. "All those times I fought to save Avalon.....have no meaning??"asked Mina unsure. "None at all.." "B-But...it couldn't....you once tought me yourself before you...you... died.."whispered Mina a tear running down her cheek. "I'm sorry...I tought you the wrong thing...."whispered her mother moving to hug her... "Stay away!!You're lying!!Mother believed TRUELY in those ideals and things she tought me!!"shouted Mina. "Darling...I am your mother..."said the woman. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mina still hadn't awaken..... Kunzite frowned and bit his lip.Her hand was cold....her pulse was slowing,but still strong.Mina was slowly slipping from reality... "Wake up,Mina!!!"shouted Kunzite. No answer....her body still and limp.Her face was slowly taking on a pale colour....then...it happened...she started to fade. "What th-??"exclaimed Kunzite as her hand began to flicker...disappearing and reappearing...what was happening???? Kayala smirked..staring into her black crystal ball...watching Kunzite's vain attempts to wake up the elemental of light and love. Waving her hand over the crystal ball....the scene changed...it was Mina... "You can't be my mother...you can't!!"screamed Mina. *But you're already beginning to accept her as your mother,Mina...you can't deny it..*whispered a voice in her head. Mina clutched her head painfully... "No...I cannot accept that...."she whispered."Who are you!!!???"shouted Mina. "Mina...I'm your mother....come with me....the pain will go away...you have nothing back there anyway..."said the woman once more. "You're lying!!!"shouted Mina...tears streaming down her face. "I'm not lying Mina....you are lying to yourself...your father and I are dead because of the Avalonians..."said her mother. "No...Y-You died because of me!!"cried Mina shakily."You died fighting-" began Mina. "You're wrong Mina....why should we help Avalon anyway???To him,we're only his EXPENDABLE soldier playthings....."said her mother. Kayala smiled....*The elemental was losing the battle of fighting her own mind...soon...she would give up and follow those fake parents of hers.. and at that moment....her body would fade from that dimension to the dark dimension,....Lady will be so happy with me...*laughed Kayala. "No...no...lies...Serenity...Lita...Amy...Raye...their my friends..." "Friends???In this world....we have no friends Mina....only ourselves.." (Note:Why does this sound so familliar???) "Your mother is right...come with us...Mina...it isn't a very difficult choice...come.."said the man stepping forward. "Papa....you too???"whispered Mina..tears streaming down her face. With a soft wail,Mina fell to the ground,clutching her pounding head. *Which one is truth,which is the lie????Which is fantasy,which is reality???Oh god...I don't know anymore....somebody help me...* "Mina...trust in yourself..."whispered a voice...it sounded like Kunzite. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~FLASHBACKS~ "Momma!!What happened to Papa???"asked a 3 year-old Mina. "Oh darling....I'm sorry....I'm afraid...Papa's never coming home.." sobbed her mother. "Momma...??"asked a confused scared tiny voice. "Oh,Mina....I'm so sorry...." "Where did Papa go!!!???"cried the young Mina. "Papa didn't mean to go,litle angel....Papa loved you very much..." "Then why is he gone???!!!"screamed the 3-year old blonde. "Little angel...one day,you'll understand..."whispered her mother,hugging her. @@@@ "Momma....why must we learn how to control our magic??"asked a 5 year-old Mina. "Because we want to put our,...gifts to good use....Do you want mommy to tell you a story??"asked her mother. The young girl looked up at her mother with pure adoration..."Yes mommy!!" squealed the girl excitedly. "Long ago...there was a time where a great elemental who wanted to be better in his magic....so...those who couldn't control their magicks, he bullied them...and soon,...a fight broke out...that is why there are very few of us now...and for a long time,the people feared us...So that's why we have to learn to control our magic."smiled the girl's mother. "Okay momma!!"smiled the little girl cheerfully. "Remember honey...there will always be something to protect...to fight for to the very death....remember that...." @@@@ "Serenity!!My momma wants us to the southwest!!An outbreak happened there!!The elders can't handle it now!!"shouted Mina to her friend. "Well...let's go!!"replied the 11 year old Serenity, @@@@ "Momma...why has Avalon been experiencing so many outbreaks and disasters all of a sudden???"asked an 10 year old Mina. "Darling...do you feel it???"asked her mother. "Feel..???A little..." "Describe it..."said her mother. "Pain...hate...destruction....evil..."whispered Mina her eyes closed. "Something is poisoning the wild magic."whispered Mina. "That is correct,my angel....that is why wild magic outbreaks have been becoming frequent."said her mother. "But,momma....you can't keep going...you're all...so tired."pleaded Mina to her mother. Her mother touched her cheek... "My darling.....I know...it's just that....we can't stop..Avalon has fallen into hard times...We have to fight...for peace..."whispered her mother sadly. "B-But....you'll.....-"sniffed Mina. "-die.."choked out Mina. "My baby....don't worry..."whispered her mother hugging her. "Momma,...who is the enemy???" @@@@ "Venessa!!!"(Mina's mother's name) "Serenity???" (Serenity's mother's name)came Venus's voice. "She's here!!!"shouted Serenity."Jupiter,Marsha and Mercury are already there!!"she exclaimed. "Momma???"asked a 13-year old Mina. "Mina....find the other girls!!Flee!!"exclaimed her mother. "Momma!!??"asked a frantic Mina. @@@@ Five girls watched as their parents stood in a line facing a woman.Her face covered by the shadows. "Momma.."whispered Mina. Suddenly,white light engulfed the area....followed by black light. Blue,green,red and yellow followed..... "Papa!!!"shouted Lita...tears running down her face. They could hear the woman cackling....their parents were already so tired...they had fought wild magic beasts and outbreaks non-stop for so long.They cherished what little sleep they could get. Then...blinding light....forcing the five to look away. When the light subsided....they saw the woman laughing while their parents on the ground.... Then they saw Avalon.... A portal opened up and swallowed the woman...throwing her into the wild magic...left in a state of limbo. "Momma!!"shouted Mina running to her mother.Likewise the others running to their parents. "Little angel...I'm sorry...."whispered her mother weakly. "Momma!!!"screamed Mina as her hand began to twinkle..... "Remember....what I have tought you...my darling...."whispered her mother before turning into a ball of yellow light...twinkling into the sky. "Mommmmma!!!!!"shouted Mina,tears running down her face. She barely heard her friends.... Amy - "Daddy!!!!!"screamed Amy as her father turned into water...seeping away into the ground. Lita - "Poppa!!!!!!"shouted Lita as her father turned into a green light, turning into a small wildflower..... Raye - "Mommmmmy!!!"shouted Raye as she tried to hold onto her mother, but her mother glowed a red hot...bursting into flame and disappeared. Serenity - "Mother!!!!!"shouted Serenity.Her mother smiled slightly before glowing a silver colour...turning into a beautiful smooth pebble... ~END FLASHBACKS~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "You're not my mother....you're not my father...you both...are imposters." spat Mina. Taken aback...the two looked at each other. "Foolish child....don't you want to be with your mother and father???" asked the woman who looked like her mother. "I do....but you're not them....and never will be.."she bit out. Kunzite who had somehow managed to sneak into her mind smiled....though he could only speak to her... "I love my parents...they died defending me and our world...and I will do the same...for Avalon and my friends...the man I love.....now...leave!!" shouted Mina to the couple. "Silly girl....there's no such thing as love."mocked the man who looked like her father. "There is!!!I am the elemental of light and love...and I'll tell you one thing...my heart here is only for people who I love and care about!! And the two of you are not on the list!!!Now leave me alone!!!"shouted Mina,her eyes flaring to a golden colour. Moments later.... "Well done,Mina..."said a voice. Looking up,Mina saw Setsuna...the Gatekeeper... "Setsuna!!"exclaimed Mina. "By believing in yourself,and not being fooled by those imposters, you have successfully escaped capture of one of the sisters of Morgan."said Setsuna. "Morgan???They want revenge??" "Not at all....they are thankful you killed their brother."said Setsuna. "Now you know....never to doubt yourself.Go back now....He is waiting for you..."said Setsuna. "Setsuna???" Setsuna merely smiled and nodded. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Slowly....Mina opened her eyes....the bright sunlight piercing her eyes painfully. "Mina,"came a voice. "Kunzite????" "It's me...you're awake..."whispered Kunzite in relief. Mina smiled... "I was so worried you wouldn't wake up...I saw you were arguing with those imposter parents of yours...I was....scared for you..."said Kunzite, Mina smiled as Kunzite continued to ramble on.. "Kunzite.."whispered Mina,cutting him off. "Mina??" "Thank you..."said Mina smiling at him. "Think nothing of i-"began Kunzite before Mina pulled him forward for a kiss.... Kunzite surrendered....effectively shutting himself up.. *I love her....* *I love him...*thought Mina to herself. Suddenly...a bright light forced the two to break apart.They stared in awe as their moon jewels broke away from their necks.... The jewels emitted a beautiful bluish silver sheen....joining together to form....another medallion..this time with a blue crystal set in it's center. "It-it's beautiful..."whispered Mina. "It is...it's time to go back now...Kunzite,you keep the medallion as Mina will not be needing it."said a voice. "Setsuna.."whispered Mina. A portal opened up...Mina could clearly see the destination...Avalon... "We're going...home..?"whispered Mina. "Yes,Mina...it's time...you've found the item with your love...but remember this....the most powerful magic of all...is your love for each other."said Setsuna. "We understand..."said Kunzite. Looking at each other,Mina slipped her hand into his own and both took a step into the portal.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Setsuna smiled....then a laugh was heard from behind... Turning...she saw one of the twins. "Kayala."uttered Setsuna. "The Gatekeeper...well,well....I haven't lost...there are still three more!!And the next time...I won't lose!!"laughed Kayala as she disappeared. A strong cold wind blew around Setsuna,her black green hair flying wildly in the wind... "We shall see,Kayala,we shall see..."whispered Setsuna. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
