*********************************************************** FSC MEMORIES Part 2: Don't call me that! *********************************************************** Eudial walked out of the temple. Hiryu was sitting on her shoulder and Silver was near her. They crossed Wendy. "Hi!" The girl said "Where are you going to?" Eudial sighed. "We have to take Eugeal's stuff, then I think we'll sell the house. It's just too sad to see it so empty..." Wendy nodded. "Do you need some help?" "Maybe later, thanks Wen-chan." Meanwhile in the Nega-post office... "Are you ready, Shin-E? This will be your first mission..." The shadowed lady laughed. "Sure I'm ready. I can't wait to begin." "Very good!" Iry said, then she handed her a silver staff "Here, this will be useful in case of a fight...It will improve your powers and will allow you to use some special attacks." Shin-E grabbed the staff and teleported away. "We'll think to the secret lab later." Eudial said "We can call Prof. Chronos and give him most of the stuff..." "I suppose we should begin from Eugeal's room..." Silver said. Hiryu and Eudial nodded and sighed. They entered the room. Hiryu's eyes widened when he spotted the pentacle on the floor. "Hiryu? Are you well?" Eudial asked. "No more than a week ago we were here. Together..." Hiryu said. Eudial sighed again and opened the drawer of Eugeal's desk. There were many sheets of paper, photos, strange devices and a book of chemical formulas. Eudial took one of the sheet. "Incredible..." she muttered. Hiryu and Silver looked at her. "What's up? What's written on them?" Eudial sweatdropped. "I've no idea...it's all in Italian..." Hiryu and Silver fell to the ground. Eudial took one of the pics: both the cousins, Silver and Hiryu were smiling the camera. Hiryu turned away from the pic, floated near the window and stood there, staring outside. Silver rushed out of the room, trying to not cry in front of Eudial and Hiryu. Eudial grabbed the drawer and closed her eyes, trying to hold tears. Probably she pulled it too, because the drawer fell to the ground, revealing and envelope attached under it. The witch picked the envelope and opened it. She read the sheets in it and gasped the she rushed out of the room. She bumped in Silver. Hiryu turned to look at them. "Where are you going, Eudial?" Silver asked "Why were you running?" Eudial blushed and hid the envelope behind her back. "Uh...nothing...I forgot that I have to talk with Prof. Chronos...." She ran away before Silver could answer. Wendy and Christine were on their way to school. Wendy looked at the younger sister. She was worried for her. Christine seemed to be very pale and sad. She called her. "Christine?" The girl didn't answer. "Christine!" Wendy repeated. The girl startled and looked at the sister. "There is something that is worrying you?" Wendy asked. "I..I...No, it's all right, Wen..." Christine said sadly. Wendy stared at her. "And there's nothing you can do to help me" Christine continued in her mind "I killed Eugeal. Nobody can change the past..." "Come on, Wendy, we'll be late" she said loud and walked away. Wendy looked at the sister and shook her head sadly. Suddenly Christine fell to the ground and passed out. Wendy ran to help her. Silver and Hiryu were walking down the street. "Where do you think she went?" Silver asked. "I've no idea. Maybe she really wanted to talk to Prof. Chronos..." "Maybe...but I'm sure she was hiding something...." "Hey! Look there! It's Wendy and Christine! It seems they need help!" The two boys ran near them. Meanwhile, in the sky above them, Shin-E appeared. She grinned. "Perfect. Humans." The woman landed in front of them. Wendy and the two boys looked at her: she was wearing a black outfit and a mask, she had red hair loose on shoulders and was holding a silver staff. "Who are you?!" They said at once. Shin-E smiled and slightly bowed to them. "Coming from powerful Nega Mail, I'm the Mailbox Shin-E! You'll have the great honor to be the firsts to provide energy to us." Wendy put a hand in her pocket to touch her transformation pen. "If I transform now, she'll find out my identity...but if I don't do it, she could hurt Christine...." Silver run against Shin-E and attacked her, but the girl just stepped back, rotated her staff and hit him with it. Silver was slammed against a wall. The woman pressed an envelope on his forehead and it filled with energy. "Good. I've the first Letter. Who will be the next?" Hiryu jumped towards her, but she moved the staff again and the little alien was stopped mid-air and trapped into a sort of bubble. Shin-E turned towards Wendy. "Now it's your turn..." Wendy rose the pen, but Shin-E staff hit it. "Do you really think I'll let you to transform, Sailor Callisto?" Wendy gasped: how could that woman know her secret identity? Shin-E walked in front of the girl and was about to put the envelope on her forehead. Suddenly, a fire ball headed towards her. Shin-E dodged it with a jump. Sailor Kurohoshi glared at her. "You dare to steal energy to innocent people! But you made an error, you hurt my Silver! I'm Eternal Sailor Kurohoshi and in name of sweatdrops I'll punish you!" Shin-E put a hand on the bubble that was trapping Hiryu and it disappeared. She held Hiryu by the tail and evilly grinned. "This one could be useful..." "HEY! LET HIM GO!!!!" Eudial yelled. Shin-E smiled wickedly. "Do you know? You aren't nice at all when you yell, my dear Eudial." She laughed and disappeared. Eudial sweatdropped. "HOW could she know my identity?!" she said. Wendy shook her head. "I have no idea..." The witch ran to Silver's side and sighed in relief "He's alive. In a few days he'll be fine." Wendy took Christine on her shoulders. "But she got Hiryu...We have to find a way to save him..." "I wonder who was that woman. Another Terminal?" "She said she was a Mailbox from the Nega Mail...." Eudial sweatdropped. "As if the Negaphone wasn't enough...." Meanwhile at the Nega Post Office... Shin-E entered the room. The three Nega Mail sisters looked at her. "So, how was your first mission?" Shin-E grinned. "Succesful. I have a Letter for you." The envelope floated into Iry's hands. The girl put it in a filing cabinet. "Very well, Shin-E. But...what do you have there?" Shin-E held Hiryu. "A prisoner. I want to keep him as a pet. I like him." Lalia walked to Hiryu and put a black stamp on his forehead. "If this being has magical powers, this won't allow him to use them. And he won't be able to run away." "Can I go to my room now?" Iry nodded. "OK Shin-E, you can go." The girl walked away, holding the uncounscious Hiryu. She put him on the bed, then she turned to look at herself in the mirror. She removed her mask. "I wonder why the Sisters want me to wear this..." she mumbled. The little alien woke up. He looked at the woman. "Who are you? Where did you take me?" he asked. Shin-E turned and looked at him. Hiryu stared at her in amazement. "Eugeal!" he cried "You're alive!" The girl walked to the bed and took Hiryu in her hands. "Who is Eugeal?" she slowly asked. Hiryu sweatdropped. "You are Eugeal! I can't be wrong! You are the one I love!" "My name is Shin-E, little Hiryu. And you are wrong. Nobody ever loved me in my whole life." "But Eugeal...try to remember, you love me...." "Impossible. Mailboxes don't have feelings. And I'm a perfect mailbox. You are just my pet." "How could you forget our love?! Eugy!" Hiryu cried. Shin-E threw him on the bed in rage. "DON'T CALL ME THAT!!!!" she yelled "My name is Shin-E." Hiryu glanced at her. "She's Eugeal, I'm sure." he thought "She went mad when I called her Eugy. The Nega Mail must have brainwashed her... But at least she's alive. I'll save her. I know I can. I won't go away from this place until she has her memory back." Shin-E sat on the bed. Hiryu jumped on her lap. "I'm sorry if I offended you." he said "I'll be happy to be your pet, Shin-E." Shin-E smiled. "Very good, little Hiryu." He closed her eyes and smiled too: his Eugeal was alive. End of Part 2
