"Daddy, when are we going to arrive on Earth?" Four persons were sitting in the space-ship and looking at a screen. There were two young persons, presumedly brother and sister, and two older ones, their parents. The father looked at the screen: "We're near. Earth will appear on the monitor in a few minutes." His wife grinned. "I can't wait to see our new house!" The young boy shook his head. "Do you REALLY believe that my brother succeeded in conquering Earth?" The father shrugged "According to the information I collected, humans are weak people...That's why I sent him alone. Even a baby could conquer that planet!" The girl looked at her parents. "We should have sent a baby to conquer Earth, then. I still don't believe our brother can do that..." The older woman growled. "He would better have done that or else..." *********************************************************** FSC FIGHT FOR YOUR LOVE! Part 1: A terrible choice. *********************************************************** "There's nothing better than a picnic!" Eudial said. Eugeal nodded and glanced at the four inches tall alien who was sitting on her shoulder "You're right, especially if you're with the person you love..." Eudial leaned her head on Silver's shoulder "...and there are no snails around." Everyone sweatdropped. Suddenly, Eugeal's bag began to move and three snails popped out. Snailor Salad looked at Eudial: "I thought we were friends!" Hiryu succeeded in coming out of a sweatdrop which was menacing to drown him and looked at Eugeal. "Why did you took the snails with us?" The witch shrugged "They asked to come with us and I had not the heart to answer no..." Eudial looked at the cousin. "But you had the heart to try to transform me in a demon-youma hybrid!" Eugeal sweatdropped (almost drowning Hiryu again). "I thought you had forgiven me!" Silver looked at the two cousins and handed them two sandwiches. "Come on, girls, we're not here to quarrel...Why don't we eat?" The two witches looked each at the other, then they decided that food was better than a fight and grabbed the sandwiches. Hiryu wrung his tail. "Why aren't you a little more careful with those sweatdrops?" he muttered, then he noticed the sandwiches and smiled "Wow! Food!" The snails got some salad and began to eat too. The space-ship landed in a wood. The four persons who where inside it walked out and looked around. "This is our new planet..." the father said and the whole family burst out in a maniacal laugh. Eudial looked at the cousin who had dozed off and was grabbing Hiryu's tail. She smiled at Silver "Why don't we have a walk?" Silver took her hand and they walked towards the near wood. "I like this place..." the witch said "It's like an enchanted place. And it's so romantic..." She floated and sat on a branch. Then she looked at Silver. "O Silver. Silver! Wherefore art thou Silver?" she said. Silver kneeled and looked up at her. He smiled. "Hmmm. I don't like that story, it's too sad...I prefer the Sleeping Beauty: I like happy endings and...and I want to kiss you." Eudial giggled and stood up on the branch. "Why don't you come here, then?" "I think I'll do it..." He was about to teleport on the tree, when he noticed a movement behind it. "What...." he stopped: a fireball hit Eudial's back. The witch stared for a while, then she passed out. Silver caught her before she fell to the ground. He made her to lay on the ground, then he looked around with a growl. "Who dared to hurt my Eudial?!" he shouted "Just show up and I'll destroy you!!" A woman walked in front of him, followed by the husband and their two children. "Would you dare to fight against me?!" she asked with an evil grin. Silver sweatdropped and stepped back. "Mommy?! What are you doing on Earth?" Eugeal opened her eyes and yawned, then she sat and looked around. "Where is everyone?" she thought. "Hiryu-chan! Eudial! Silver! Snails! Where are you?" she called. Snailor Salad put an antenna out of Eugeal's bag and waved it: "We're here! And I think you're sitting on Hiryu..." Eugeal sweatdropped and stood up with a jump. She looked at the place where she was sitting: Hiryu wasn't there. She heard a laugh and turned. Hiryu and the snails came out of her bag. "A little joke, darling..." he said. Eugeal sweatdropped, then she smiled and kissed him. "You frightened me, you know?" Hiryu sat on her shoulder and the snails crept on her other shoulder. "But where are Eudial and Silver?" The snails giggled. "I bet they wanted to stay alone..." Tuxedo Snail began to say. Snailor Salad elbowed him and glanced at Snailor Chibi Salad "Shut up! Not in front of our child!" Eugeal began to rummage in her bag. Hiryu kissed her neck. "Maybe we should stay alone for a while too..." Eugeal kept searching into the bag. Hiryu sweatdropped "Are you listening to me?" The witch burst out in a maniacal laughter, holding a photo camera in her hand. "I knew I had it!!!! Now we can go and take some pics of Silver and Eudial and then we can blackmail them!!!" Hiryu and the snails sweatdropped. "Why do you want to blackmail them?" Eugeal looked at him in surprise. "Why? Hmmmm....I've no idea, but it will be funny!" Hiryu stared at her and was about to sweatdrop again, but he shrugged. "O.K. let's go. It could be interesting." They walked into the wood. "What do you mean with 'I don't want to conquer Earth anymore'?!!!!" Silver's mother shouted. "It means that I'm no more interested in conquering this planet..." Silver answered. They were all in the space-ship and the whole family was around Silver. The father looked very angry. "But that was your mission!!! When a member of our family begins a mission, he completes that successfully or he dies in the fight!!!! You're the shame of our family! The reputation of Lord Koh- i- Noor, my reputation, will be stained by the cowardice of my own son! Look at the sorrow you gave to Lady Helvina, your mother!" The young girl shook her head and talked to her brother. "So, Fenak, you see we were right. Silver didn't deserve our trust...That's why we used to call him 'Silly'..." Silver glanced at the sister. "Oh, shut up, Criolite. We don't need to conquer this planet and I'm happy here...Now let me go. Mum hit Eudial and I've to check if she's well." Lady Helvina grinned. "So that's the reason of your betrayal...That woman! I'll kill her." Silver glared at the mother "You won't touch Eudial! You'll have to kill me before hurting her. I'll protect Eudy with my life!" "So you're in love with her?" Lord Koh-i-Noor asked. "And she's the person you want to marry..." Silver nodded. "Yes! I know she's the right person for me!" Silver's father cruelly smiled. "Well. If so, there are only two choices. She'll have to subject herself to our traditional Acceptance Ritual or we'll have to kill her." Silver gasped "The Acceptance Ritual? But nobody uses it anymore! It's too dangerous!" "If a person of another planet wants to marry a member of our family, well she'll have to survive to the Ritual..." "You're crazy! Nobody ever survived to the Acceptance Ritual! I won't let you kill Eudial!" Helvina sweetly smiled. "There's another choice too..." Silver looked at her. "What choice?!" "You could come with us now and conquer another planet for us..." "And Eudial?" "You'll never see her anymore and you'll never come back on Earth, but she won't die." "You can't do that!" Silver yelled "I love her, I can't go away!" The mother shrugged. "Then let her try the Ritual..." "No way!" "Silver, you don't have any other choices. Desert her or marry her. But if you want to marry her, she'll have to survive the Acceptance Ritual. So, what's your choice?" End of Part 1
