User blog:UnRaging Tsu/Aquarius, Of The Fallen ~FanFic 4

The sound of rain echoes through Xuan's mind. In front of her is the Aquarius pure, raging from madness she has saved so long. Blaz told her to not attack the pure whatever happens until he gives out the attack code. Elena, Tsu, Shizuko and the others as well, also holding back their attack, each filled with painful thought. The image of Typhon's blood flying in the air still haunts them all, adding extra pressure on the battefield.

Hemera slowly flew up untill she's above the pure's head, sharply watching its movements. She slowly raised her hands up and gracefully, summoning the sun back to its place. Aquarius still hasn't realized what's happening; she keeps launching random attacks without knowing what is she attacking at.

More beautiful than any galactic phenomenon, the sun obeyed Hemera and went back to its place - moving closer and closer, its ray fading in and out and vibrating gently. The warm atmosphere surrounds everyone's skin and dried the wet layer from their clothes.

Xuan holds her breathe back. The sun, It's gradually coming closer - and closer, closer - stopping the rain drop by drop.

Tsu stares at Hemera, who radiates this shinning and gentle light rays from her body. Fascinated and frightened in the same time, she can feel her heart's pounding harder than usual. Even Shizuko, who has stayed in the guild for so long is mesmerized by Hemera's power.

"SCREW YOU ALL!"

The pure screamed as she realized the rain stopped. Blaz called Hemera back to her slumber and took a deep breath, since summoning Hemera on the battlefield really costs a great ammount of his attack spirit. Moreover, Hemera completely wiped out the rain and gave a triple power boost to the sun - which makes it even more tiring for him. he took a bottle of spirit water out from his pocket and drank it down in one gulp.

and the raid started.

"ATTACK!" shouted Blaz, forgetting about his code. Surprised by the sudden shout, the pure didn't have any chance to defend herself - Everyone attacked together in the same time, from every angle. It tried to defend herself with a water barrier but Szechenyi quickly activated her skill, making her effort useless.

Both Hikari and Shi switched their leader to Kotetsu and attacked the pure. having Kotetsus' skill activated, Aquarius was almost knocked out in one critical hit.

"Natty! Switch with Giri!" commanded Xuan, knowing her new daemon will also give a critical hit to the defenseless pure. Giri took away Nataraja's position and led the team against the pure, reducing a great number of hp from Aquarius. Shi attacked again, and the pure finally fell down. It hits the ground with a loud sound and left lots of high rated magatamas and other items.

Tsu grabbed the closest magatama to her position, and noticed that Xuan isn't moving. She's still standing on the same spot, her eyes gradually getting sad. "Xuan...?"

The agent doesn't move even an inch. She then walked slowly towards where Aquarius had fell, pitched her eyes to get a clearer vision. the dusts faded away, revealling the extremely hurt pure.

"Stay back, Xuan!" Shouted Shi instantly. He felt his anger rises as Xuan keeps moving, not listening a word.

''He... lp...''

a sheer voice appeared from nowhere.

''Scor... pio... help...''

It sounds so painful, and frightened, yet it sounds joyous.

I'm glad... you are... alive...

Without warning, Xuan ran fast to Aquarius and fell down on her knees. Her hands grabbed the weak pure's body, hugging it tight. "Stop," Xuan whispered, "Don't force yourself..."

Avox exchanged a curious look with Tsu. He then looked at his Capricorn, trying to figure out what is Xuan doing.

Tears started to fell down from Xuan's eyes. They raced down from her dry cheeks and fell on Aquarius' skin. She understands too well about Aquarius' weak voice from before - just like when she had lost her father. It became far away and empty, yet inside, she actually wants to feel the warmth she used to get. Aquarius lost Scorpio due to the Sun Duke. It all made sense now.

She only wants to meet Scorpio again, no matter what road she's taking...

"hey," Aquarius forced a smile, "your tears are warm..."

Xuan hugged it tighter. She squeezed her very last energy, asking the pure to stop forcing herself carrying the great burden from the sun's power.

"Will you... accept me, like... Scorpio does?"

She nodded slowly. Aquarius smiled again, but not a forced smile now - she smiled gently, from the bottom of her heart. Tears of happiness filled her eyes. "You know, i've been... wanting to feel this warmth again..."

A blinding pale blue lights surrounded them, bonding the agent and the daemon. Xuan smiled in the midst of her cry. "Finally you won't be alone again," whispered her, as she fainted in Aquarius' arms.

"Welcoming Thai Stix and Kuroshiro," announced Elena, "They joined us just now!"

The guild member cheered and greeted the 2 new members. Since Laura and Cera stopped being an agent (but still, they're a part of the family), two spot has been empty for a week. The issues with Aquarius are settled already, and now The Pure is getting along with everyone's in the guild. Xuan smiled as she watches her daemon greets the new member.

"Xuan! wanna join in our game?" called Tsu, with Shizuko and Kitty beside her. Xuan nodded and left her seat to join them.

"Aquarius," called a voice.

Aquarius turned her head from the sweets in front of her. Scorpio's standing next to her, smiling gently to the white-dressed zodiac.

"I found a bunch of dazzling stars..."

He took out a pile of golden stars from his pocket.

"Do you want me to put them on your hair?"

She nodded happily. They both smiled at each other, and began a peaceful life with the guild..
