Eternity: I can't
believe this.
Eve: *banging on
the sealed gate* Trapped.
Dream: Like rats!
*frown*
Lindsay: This blows.
Seriously.
Eternity: No kidding.
Has anyone even seen Cherry?
Lindsay: No. She
was with me when the gate was sealed, but I blacked out and can't remember
what happened or where she went after that.
Dream: Speaking
of which, what in the world happened to you?! I've never seen anything
like it!
Lindsay: I have
no clue...I wish we could get to Queen Shell and ask her.
Eternity: Speaking
of Queen Shell, she had mentioned something very weird to me. She told
me that this whole incident was predicted in something called the Blood
Stars. Ever heard of anything like that?
Dream: Certainly
not.
Eternity: We're
going to have so many problems in the next month...the arrivals will all
be backed up, everyone's going to hear about this of course, the ghosts
will want to go down to Earth...this is not good. *frown* Now I *really*
wish Queen Shell were here...
>POOF<
Queen Shell: Wish
and thou shalt receive ^_^
Eternity: SHELL?!
How did you get here????????
Shell: Uh.... ^^;;;;
Not important! Anyways, like I promised, I'm here to teach you all about
the Blood Stars, so gather 'round and listen up - Eve, you might wanna
take notes on this. *deep breath* Okay. The Blood Stars are a cluster of
stars that are invisible to humans, but if you study an astrological map
very carefully, you can see their pinpricks - they're the stars at the
topmost of your vision. These stars control you. They control your powers
and even predict some of the major events you will have to endure, much
like what happened last night. They do *not*, however, predict the outcome,
so either one of you could've won. These stars hold th power of eternity
for all angels, much like how the silver in your blood is the mark of immortality.
Anyways, these stars have names - two stars for the head angels, and two
for the secondaries. For example, Decree's star is the Star Chaos, since
she's one of the heads, of Hell no less, and Lark's is the Star Murdess.
Eternity, your Star is Charm, and Lindsay, yours is Lotus. Clear enough?
Angels: *nod slowly*
Lindsay: I just
have one question.
Shell: Shoot.
Lindsay: If we're
immortal, what happened last night? I felt like I died all over again.
Shell: Ah, er, yes,
that... well, you see, that's also controlled by the Stars. Each Star -
those for the other angels are smaller and not named - is kind of like
a health meter for the angels. The stronger you are, the more full your
meter. Then again, your strength depends on how pure of an angel you are.
Anyway, when your health meter runs out, you go through a sort of death.
You don't actually die, of course, because the power of your belief in
God saves you. However, if your power of belief is lost, so is the Star,
and your Angelship & immortality. When that happens, and an angel dies,
they are sent to a hidden island in Limbo called "Con fus Island" and never
seen again. In fact, any soul that dies twice goes there, because they
must be sent to a place they haven't been yet. Not even I myself have been
there.
Lindsay: So I could've
vanished to some creepy island you run?
Shell: *laughs*
Heavens to Gimbles, no. You power of belief saved you, and will continue
to save you forever and ever, unless you do something stupid like lose
your virginity to Satan. ^_^
Eternity: You know...I
wonder if the gate into Hell was sealed tightly. If not, we can probably
break through and give them a taste of their own poison.
(so they wander
over to the sealed gate on the other side of the castle)
Eternity: *shoots
severl spells at it, but to no avail* No use. Sealed as tight as we could
make 'em.
Voice: *on other
side of barrier* Eternity? *sniffle* Is that you?
Eternity: ...Cherry?
Cherry: yeah. it's
really lonely out here. I'm afraid ;_;
Eternity: Cherry,
how did you get out there?!
Cherry: When they
sealed off this gate, they forgot to put me back inside it.
Eternity: So you're
free to go down to Earth? And Hell?
Cherry: ...I guess
so...
Eternity: Cherry,
maybe you can go down into Heaven and get Evan and then seal off their
gates!
Shell: Uh, I wouldn't
recommend that. Evan is imprisoned down there for the month. She'd never
stand a chance against them anyway by herself.
Eternity: *annoyed
sigh*
Cherry: *sniffle*
I'm really scared, I wanna go home.
Eternity: Yes!,
Cherry, I think it's best if you go back down to Earth and stay there for
now.
Cherry: By myself?
Is that safe?
Eternity: Of course.
You're a big girl down there. Go, and stay with Tammy, just in case.
Cherry: O-oh, okay...
>POOF<
Shell: Well, now
that that's taken care of, I should be on my way...unless there's anything
else?
Eternity: No, that's
okay, Shell. It's just going to be a very loooong month stuck in here.
Shell: Alright,
very well then. Um... *ahem* *hold out her hand*
Eternity: *rolls
her eyes and hand Shell a *very* large emerald and some diamonds*
Shell: *examines
the emerald* This looks like the one you gave me when I pulled the children
from the burning bus. Can't you be more original?
Eternity: -_-
Shell: ^^;;; eh-heh
heh, gonna be on my way then! >POOF<
DOWN IN HELL...
(The angels, minus
Lark, and Ang and Evan are sitting around, basking in the glow of glory
^_^)
Decree: I must commend
you girls on fabulous work.
Mandy: I took one
down all by myself *proud smile*
Decree: yes, brilliant!
*takes a swig of champagne* Hey, lark, this is good champagne, you gotta
try some... Lark? Where is she?
Angels: *shrug*
(Just then, Lark
comes stumbling in, but there's something different...)
Angels: 0.0
Lark: *sporting
an extra-skanky outfit, with platform shoes, and...blonde hair?!* Good
day, everyone.
Decree: What the
hell happened to you? Did you fall into a bottle of peroxide?!
Lark: If you are
referring to my now-blonde coif, then the answer is no. I changed the color
to make me appear older and smarter.
Tierra: Than obviously
you're twice as stupid, because everyone knows that blondes are ditzes.
Decree: Hey! Stupid
stereotypes...
Lark: I choose to
ignore that comment. *starts leafing through the book she's holding*
Decree: What's that
now?
Lark: This is the
encyclopedia, letter A edition. It tells you about everything you could
possibly want to know that starts with the letter A.
Mandy: Like buffalos?
Lark: No, like antelopes,
or apples, or America.
Mandy: ....does
that include umbrellas?
Lark: No.
Mandy: Crocodiles?
Lark: NO.
Mandy: Elephants?
Dr. Suess? Tiramisu?
Lark: No, no, NO!
*annoyed sigh*
Mandy: 0_0 wow,
you're edumacated!
Decree: *head in
her hands, muttering "Why me"* What's with the getup anyways?
Lark: Like I said,
I needed a change.
Decree: Well where
did you get this silly idea in the first place?
Lark: Haven't you
read the latest edition of interviews?!
Decree: Ah, I see.
It's for Satan ^_^
Lark: Like duh!
Ang: So you're trying
to make yourself, tall, blonde, and smart, all at the same time? *scoff*
Good luck!
Lark: I can wrap
him around my little finger. I'd like to see *you* try.
Ang: You're on.
At least I can use my *natural* good looks and wit to reel him in.
Lark: *glares*
Ang: *glares*
Decree: er...off
to Satan we go then... 0.o
AT SATAN'S PALACE...
(The angels are
let in after a long verbal battle - but hey, they won, cuz after that last
ordeal, they coulda done anything at the moment. So anyway, they enter
Satan's throne room. Satan is sitting on his throne, massaging his temples)
Satan: *mutters*
Greeeeaaaat....
Lark: *bowing low
so he can see her cleavage* Your Highness.
Ang: *curtseys low,
hiking her skirt up* Your Excellency. *wink*
Satan: er, hi girls.
Decree: Your Majesty,
you should be very pleased with the work my girls and I have accomplished.
Satan: I am indeed.
I'm very proud of you girls.
Ang: Although, you
must admit, your highness, I'm sure you'll agree, it was done a bit sloppily.
Satan: Well, nothing's
ever *perfect*...
Ang: Except you,
your highness.
Lark: *glares at
Ang* But Lucifer, really, we did our best. I myself managed to help conquer
their Head Angel.
Satan: Yes, that
was quite impressive, Lark.
Lark: Well then,
Lucifer, allow me to impress you further tomorrow night at dinner, let's
say, 7:00.
Satan: er-
Decree: *whispers
to him* In all honesty, sir, Cherry is holed up in that stuffy, fluffy
pink place for a month. You have no chance with her. Trust me, accept Lark's
invitation.
Satan: *sigh* Fine.
Dinner sounds lovely.
Lark: *gives Ang
a "ha-ha-i-win" look*
Ang: grrrr... *hands
over a 20*
Satan: Now then,
girls, I have something very important to reveal to you. As I mentioned
last night, there are constellations above called the Blood Stars that
control your destinies... *goes through the entire thing all over again,
the angels only half-understanding* Clear?
Angels: 0_0
Satan: Ok then!
You all go home and get some well-deserved rest. Decree, I expect a training
schedule in a week.
(and so the angels
disperse, questions answered, yadda yadda.)
THE NEXT MORNING...
(aw, c'mon, you
know I couldn't leave you hanging, you're just *dyig* to know what happened
on Lark and Satan's date! ....of course you are!...too bad, I'm telling
you anyway!)
Lark: *comes stumbling,
a bit disheveled*
Decree: Geez, what
happened to you? You look like you were hit by a car.
Lark: *dippy grin*
eh heh heh heh heh heh...
Decree: ...and why
are your boobs sagging?
Lark: ...*blush*
musta left my bra back at Lucifer's...
Decree: 0.0 oh my...
