To my beloved Hiryu , Eugeal-chan *********************************************************** SNAIL REVENGE Part 5 (Just believe in love ) *********************************************************** Wendy transformed in Sailor Callisto while Silver changed in his alien form. They looked at the three Nega-pigeons and prepared for the battle. Silver grabbed his whip and used it on one of the monsters, but the pigeon drove it back with one of his wings and attacked Silver with his sharp beak. Sailor Callisto used her Silence Katana to stop the bird and Silver gave him an electric shock. The monster began to shrink and turned back in a normal pigeon. "Thank you Wendy" Silver said, then he pointed at the two other pigeons who were attacking "AAAAAAH! Be careful!" The two monster were about to hit them, when a beam of light surrounded the birds and they turned back to be harmless pigeons. Wendy and Silver sighed in relief, then they looked around to see the person who saved them. Silver sweatdropped "But there's no one here!" "What?! There must be someone! Who hit the pigeons, then?" "I hit them." a voice said. Silver and Wendy looked around again: still no one in sight. "Who spoke?" Silver's face turned blue "Ma...maybe a ghost?!" The voice spoke again and it sounded miffed "No, I'm not a ghost! I'm here, near your feet!" They looked down and startled: a four inches tall boy was looking at them. He had blue hair in a Wasshu style, light gray eyes, a small gem in the center of his forehead and brown cat's ears and tail. He was holding a weird looking gun, almost bigger than him. Wendy and Silver kneeled to look better at him. "Who...what are you?!" Silver asked. "My name is Hiryu and I am an alien. Is this Eugeal's house?" Wendy and Silver stared at him "What?! You know Eugeal?!" Meanwhile Eudial and Snailor Salad were searching for Eugeal. "Hey! Look there!" the snail pointed an antenna. "They're Mulder, Scully and Idea! Let's go and see what are they doing..." She walked towards them. "Hello. Idea, what are you doing?" The dog rose the nose from the ground and barked. "We're on your cousin's tracks Silver and Wendy wanted us to find her..." Mulder said. Scully elbowed him "Shut up!" she whispered to him "That was supposed to be a secret" "Well, would you mind if I join you?" Eudial asked "I'm searching my cousin too." Idea started to follow he track again and they walked after him. Suddenly Eudial looked to be in pain and she grabbed Mulder's arm to not fall down. "Are you well?" Scully asked "I'm a doctor..." Mulder nodded "Yes, even if she usually does autopsies..." Scully sweatdropped "Mulder!!!" Eudial seemed to be better. She weakly smiled at Scully "Thank you, but I don't think you can help me... Only Eugeal can and that's why I'm searching her..." Scully stared at her "You...you knew that, then?" Eudial nodded "But please don't tell it to Silver. I don't want him to worry for me..." In that moment Idea (who had continued to walk) turned and barked at them. Eudial smiled at the dog "We're coming!" They followed the dog. "So you're searching for Eugeal too?" Silver asked. Hiryu nodded "Yes, I sold her some alien DNA, but, when she saw my formula's book, she tied me and took it..." "What?! She used your formulas?!" "Yes, but later I realized that some of there were wrong and dangerous..." Silver grabbed him in his hands "If you are the author of the formulas, you can do an antidote, right?!" "Of course I can! But let me go! You're squeezing me!!!" Silver opened his hands and Hiryu sat on his shoulder. "Well, I need a lab now..." he said. "We can use daddy's one." Wendy said "But can I ask you a thing? Why did you follow Eugeal if you knew that the formulas were wrong? Do you want to have revenge?" Hiryu shook his head. "Why, then?" He blushed "It's a secret. I can't tell." Idea stopped in front of a gate and barked. Eudial looked at the sign over the gate. "So this is the place...an abandoned mirrors factory..." "So, how can we enter? The gate is closed..." Scully said. Mulder looked at the lock "Maybe I can pick this lock..." "No, it would take too much time..." Eudial said while pointing the Fire Buster (TM) at the gate "And I have no time!" She shoot. Mulder jumped out of the way of the flames then he stared at the hole in the gate. Eudial and Scully walked in the old factory. Professor Chronos looked at Hiryu. The 4 inches tall alien was using dozens of test tubes at the same time and seemed very busy. "Wendy, are you sure he can really make the antidote without destroying the lab?" The girl shrugged "He said he can. And, well, I don't think he can do more damages than a witch..." Chronos nodded "Like Eudial's devices...By the way, where is she?" "She should be in her room...Silver went to call her." They heard a soft explosion and the lab filled with pink smoke, then Hiryu went out of the smoke holding a little bottle full of a pink substance. "I did it! The antidote is ready!" Wendy menacingly looked at him "I hope it will work properly..." "Of course it will work! I created it!" Wendy raised an eyebrow "If I'm not wrong, you created even the formula Eugeal used and it didn't work..." Hiryu was about to answer when Silver entered the room slamming the door. "Eudial isn't at the temple anymore!" "What?!" "Yes, she probably went to search her cousin!" "And how can we find her now?" Wendy asked. "We should hurry" Hiryu said "Eudial's DNA will completely change in less than a hour!" Silver looked desperate "My poor Eudial! We must find her!" "Maybe we can help you!" Tuxedo Snail and Snailor Chibi Salad appeared on the door. "We know where Eudial is." "Aren't you going to say again that she is OUTSIDE, are you?" Wendy ironically asked. "No, this time the little snail is right." Viluy walked into the lab "Snailor Salad is with Eudial and, as every sailor, she has a communicator, so we could find where they are now..." "Hey! Even Eudial should have one" Silver said "Just call her and say her to come back here." Viluy shook her head "We tried, but she isn't answering. Snailor Salad answered instead and she told us that they were entering in the old mirrors factory, then the communicator stopped working." "Let's go, then!" Silver ran out of the lab followed by Wendy and Hiryu "We'll take Eudial's car!" Eudial walked into the factory. Mulder and Scully were holding a gun in an hand and an electric torch in the other. Their images were reflected in hundreds of mirrors. Idea was walking near Eudial. They heard a noise and they could notice a shadow who was moving, reflected in some of the mirrors. The two FBI agents used their guns. They heard the noise of broken glass and some of the mirrors shattered, then a beam of dark power hit Mulder, Scully and Idea, knocking them unconscious. Eudial looked around: her images in the mirrors had duplicated. "Eugeal! That's you?" The other witch laughed "Congratulation, dear cousin, you found me!" Eudial tried to understand were Eugeal actually was, but all those mirrors confused her and her head was beginning to ache. "Eugeal, come here if you dare!" Eugeal softly laughed "Oh, can't you understand which one of the imagines in the mirror I am? Poor cousin, you must feel confused..." Eudial drop herself to the ground, she was feeling very weak. "Eugeal, why are you doing this to me?" she sobbed. "Aren't you happy, cousin? We'll conquer the world together!" she laughed again. Snailor Salad crept on Eudial's shoulder "How can you conquer the world together if Eudial is going to die?!" Eugeal stopped laughing. "To die? The substance I gave her was supposed to turn her in a demon-youma hybrid, not to kill her..." Snailor Salad sweatdropped "Well, even to turn a cousin into a monster is not a good thing to do!!!" "Well, I'm sorry for Eudial, but this time nobody will stop me from conquering the planet..." Eugeal walked towards the cousin and kicked the snail against a wall "And of course I won't be stopped by a snail!" [Eyecatch: SD Snailor Salad with little stars circling around her antennas] Eudial raised herself and looked at the cousin "Yes, a snail can't stop you, but I'll do it! SWEATDROPS COSMIC POWER MAKE UP!" She began to transform in Super Sailor Kurohoshi. The black star on her neck shattered in hundreds of smaller stars which surrounded her body, transforming first in violet ribbons then in the various parts of the fuku. Three bigger stars placed themselves on her front bow, on her neck and on her tiara. Suddenly the transformation stopped and Eudial fell to the ground in pain, her body covered only with violet ribbons. Eugeal looked at the cousin. "It's silly to be sad for her now..." She thought "In any case I wouldn't have time to make the antidote. I can't stop now..." Eudial's car entered in to the factory trough a wall. Wendy looked very upset "My, Silver, you're a crazy driver...now I understand why Eudial loves you..." Silver noticed the witch who was laying to the ground and ran towards her, but Eugeal threw a shower of little sharp stars at him. "It's too late now! Her body is already changing, can't you see?!" she said. Eudial was trembling and the violet ribbons were slowly disappearing. Silver looked at the witch "No! Eudial..." Hiryu filled a syringe with the antidote and ran towards Eudial "Maybe we're to late to stop the mutation of her DNA, but this could help her to survive..." Eugeal noticed him, but she didn't move to stop him. She seemed to be in shock. "It's impossible...Hiryu..." Hiryu injected the antidote in Eudial's arm. The witch stopped trembling and stood to the ground, motionless. Everyone stared at her. Silver screamed. "Noooo! She can't be dead!" Wendy gently hugged him, and they both burst up in tears. Hiryu sweatdropped. "Hey! Wait a moment! She's not de..." Suddenly, a bright light surrounded Eudial's body and filled the room. Everyone had to avert the eyes. Slowly the light disappeared and they stared at Eudial, who was standing in front of Eugeal. The dubbed witch stepped back. Her cousin looked different: her fuku had changed in a new one which looked like a mix between Eternal Sailor Moon and Sailor Saturn ones. The skirt was violet, light blue and light violet, and she had not a tiara anymore, but only a black star on her forehead. And she had wings, large black and violet bat wings. Eugeal gasped. "She transformed in her Eternal form..." Eugeal grinned wickedly "But I still have control on her mind...Eudial! Attack them all!" Eudial's eyes glowed red. She turned towards Wendy and Silver. Silver sweatdropped. "She isn't going to attack us, right?!" Wendy looked at the witch "I fear she is..." Silver kneeled in front of the witch. "Eudial, please stop yourself... I love you and you love me, we're all your friends, you can't kill us..." Eudial stopped for a while. She knew that Silver was right, but she had to obey to Eugeal's order, her head was aching. She quickly turned and used her power on a mirror. The glass shattered and Eudial began to laugh. "You see, dear cousin, I obeyed to you, I attacked Silver and Wendy's images in the mirror!" Eugeal glared at her "Well, Eudial, I order you to..." "No! I won't let you to control my mind anymore!" Eudial jumped and grabbed her cousin throat, blocking her against a wall, then she closed her eyes and a violet halo surrounded her body. All the mirrors in the factory shattered. "Why, Eugeal? Why you did that?!" Eugeal looked at her cousin in terror: she was sure that Eudial was about to kill her. Eudial shook her. "Answer! I want to know!" Eugeal glared at her. "If you really want to know, I did it because I can't stand you! You always got all the things I wanted to have! If one of us have to obtain a power-up in FSC, well, that's you! Look! You reached Eternal form, while I still can not even have a Super form! You have friends! You have a dog! And you have a boyfriend! While I've always been lonely. All the friends I had were my snails and now they hate me too! That's why I wanted to conquer the world! Now kill me if you want, I don't have anything else to lose!" Eudial let her go. "No. I can't. Even if you hate me, you're still my cousin and I can't kill you." She turned and walked towards Wendy and Silver. Wendy looked at the witch. "Are you well, Eudial?" Eudial nodded and wiped off the tears from her eyes. Silver furiously stood up. "Maybe Eudial has forgiven you, but I can't! You almost killed her, and you'll pay for this! You don't deserve to live!" Silver threw a sphere of power at the dubbed witch. Eugeal closed the eyes and waited for the blast which would kill her. She heard the explosion, but nothing happened. She slowly opened her eyes and gasped when she saw Hiryu's little body laying between her and Silver. Silver stared at him "He shielded her with his body!" Eugeal took Hiryu in her hands. "Hiryu!" she sobbed. The little alien opened his eyes and smiled "You're well, I'm happy...Don't worry for me, I heal fast." The dubbed witch looked at him. "Why did you do it for me? Silver was right... I'm evil and I don't deserve to live..." Hiryu jumped on the ground and his body grew into a human size, while the cat's ears and the tail disappeared. He smiled at Eugeal "I can't keep this form for a very long time, but I wanted to do this..." He hugged her and kissed her. They both blushed, then Hiryu continued to talk. "I saved you because I love you, Eugeal. And that was why I followed you. I don't want you to repeat those words anymore, you're not evil. You were only feeling lonely and I promise that you won't be alone anymore..." Eugeal hugged him and her eyes filled up with tears "Oh, Hiryu...thank you! I love you too." Eudial walked near her cousin. "Well, now you have a boyfriend too..." "Eudy...could you ever forgive me?" "I've already forgiven you..." she said smiling, then she grabbed a mallet and hit Eugeal "...BUT DON'T CALL ME THAT!!!!" The two cousins hugged each the other. Silver grinned "I suppose that this means that I can't kill her anymore..." Wendy smiled and pointed at Hiryu "And I guess that we have another guest at the temple..." Snailor Salad crept towards Eugeal and glanced at her. "Hey! You're forgetting of us snails! We also ate that substance, are we in danger?" Eudial looked at her wings. "I feel well now, but will I have to keep this wings forever?" Hiryu shook his head. "No, you've been lucky: your DNA changed while you were transforming into a sailor, so when you transform back, it will return normal." he glanced at Snailor Salad "And my formula is not dangerous if used on snails..." Eugeal looked at the snail too: "So, do you still want to continue living in my garden?" The little snail looked offended, then she smiled. "O.K. We'll forgive you...if you put plants of salad in the garden!" Everyone laughed. Mulder, Scully and Idea woke up and reached the others. Mulder yawned "Did we miss anything?" Eudial looked at the others and smiled: "No, nothing special. I think we can go back to the temple now." The End
