ベラミス - her epic journey of her soul

Chapter 14 Encountering the old queen

Finally the three weeks' journey ended. Queen Cosmos arrived at a safe haven, where it was safe from the attack of Golinkor forces, which were held back by the Galaxy Union.

Belamis had the task of protecting the Princess as the cyborg fighter.

The place was a planet away from the Great Planet, located at the galaxy system Large Magellanic Cloud, nearest to the Galaxy, so that the Galaxy Energy could be sustained. It was also at the end where it was farthest from Golinkor threats.

"Belamis, you will be the protector of the Princess here..." The Galaxy Union command sent in a message, ".. Kugo and Djorgo must come to the other front to help fighting off the enemies from Golinkor."

Kugo held hands with Belamis, as she looked at him. Djorgo and Princess watched.

"Go..... I will be fine." Belamis said to Kugo, gazing at his eyes, and she turned to the Princess.

"It's OK, Belamis is capable of protecting me." The Princess said.

"I will miss you both..." Djorgo said.

"Take care... Belamis, and you too.. Princess." Kugo.

The two cyborgs then flew away, with Belamis piloting Queen Cosmos, and preparing to land at a planet near one of the star.

Belamis looked, and her emotions were stirring. Princess watched her sat silently, she knew Belamis was very attached to Kugo, and it would be a long time they couldn't see each other.

"Prepare to land, Princess." Belamis sounded calm and wore a straight face as she prepared Queen Cosmos to touch down.

"She tried to sound as if nothing matters.." Princess thought.

Belamis figured that the Golinkor enemy could some how track Galaxy energy, to play safe, she setup an energy field to try and mask the Princess' trace of Galaxy energy, but that field could not be turned on constantly. Now she shut down the field as they were in the safe haven.

Queen Cosmos touched down, and the two came out.

"There it is.." The Princess pointed to a palace... "..the old queen of the Great Planet is here too."

"Old queen ?" Belamis asked.

"Yes.... when I assume the throne at the Great Planet, she moved here to spend the rest of her life here." The Princess added

Belamis looked at the palace. "She is very kind and gentle, like a mother to me... I think she would like you too.." The Princess said.

Then an old lady emerged from the palace.

"There she is.." The Princess said.

She was a lady with silvery white hair, and she wore a fine and beautiful robe, and had a crown on her head. She hold a scepter, and she nodded at them.

Belamis could not tell how old she was, yet the old Queen was still beautiful, though she had some wrinkles on her face.

Belamis gazed, and felt warm, "She was really motherly looking.."

She approached and hold her helmet at one hand.

The old Queen saw the two, and said, "Princess Aurora, nice to see you again.." She turned to Belamis, and said, "..and who is this fine young lady here ?"

"She is Belamis, she's from the army who is responsible to protect me." The Princess replied.

Belamis bowed her head, and said, "Your majesty, I am Belamis."

The old Queen looked at her. She smiled at said, "Come closer and let me look at you."

Belamis approached. The old Queen saw before her a young and smart warrior, beautiful and confident.

"I liked you... you looked like a brave and kind person." The old Queen said.

"Thank you." Belamis replied.

The old Queen was holding a scepter, the tip was a big gem.

At night, Belamis stayed up to be on guard. Then she felt a strange sensation.

"... somebody is calling me ?... what is it?" Belamis thought. She turned and felt that sensation was from the palace.

She placed her right hand on the sword, and entered the palace.

There the old Queen's scepter was placed at a table. The gem at the tip was glowing.

"What is it ?" Belamis thought, and she approached with caution.

Then suddenly the scepter fired out a beam and hit Belamis forehead.

"Ha...arh..." Belamis was hit, then she froze.

"I... cannot move..." Belamis was alarmed. Belamis struggled, but to no avail. There seemed to be a force field acting on her, and the more she struggled, the force field became stronger and she could not break free. Belamis started to moan as she struggled.

The stir woke both the old Queen and Princess up, and they came down and check out.

"What happened ?" The Princess exclaimed as she saw Belamis' state.

"I... cannot move a bit..." Belamis answered.

"Why is the scepter doing this .." The old Queen said.

Then Belamis suddenly lost her suit, and levitated in the air naked, showing her strong and muscular body.

The old Queen looked, and remarked, "..... she has such a strong body....."

Belamis, under the influence of the field, and floated out to the open air.

Belamis was all naked, and then her forehead glowed, and she just transformed to her giantess form.

The old Queen was stunned, as she looked at the strong and muscular giantess before her.

"You ....you are a Gariusu giantess ?" The old Queen approached, and looked at Belamis in great astonishment.

Belamis was even more confused, and she still could not move. She let out a low voice sound, "...Gariusu..."

The scepter seemed to have a life of its own, and it emitted a force that was so powerful that it could subdue even Belamis in her giantess form.

"Arh.... arh.." Belamis tried to break free, but the force was extremely powerful, and Belamis flexed her muscles trying to break free, and the sound of her flexing if muscles was audible.

"No... don't struggle!!" The old Queen said, as she picked up the scepter.

The another light radiated towards Belamis.

Belamis looked at the old Queen, then she felt a kindness sensation in her heart, and Belamis saw in the Queen the same motherly look, just like her own mother.

Belamis then stopped struggling, the force field eased, and Belamis fell onto her knees, and she breathed heavily. Her struggle against the field was exhausting, and her pectorals were moving.

"What happened ?" The Princess asked.

"This scepter.... would start to activate itself... when it encounters the Gariusu giantess warrior.." The old Queen hold out the scepter, and looked at Belamis.

"Yes... you are the Gariusu giantess... a strong and brave one..." The old queen looked at the giantess before her, who was full of muscles, very strong.

Belamis flexed her muscles, and the flexing sound was audible, and she uttered, "...old Queen..."

The old Queen looked at her, and said, "...indeed..just like the legend said... you could hardly talk in your giantess form..."

Belamis looked, and was confused as to why she would just transform, yet somehow a presence caused her to keep kneeling down, and in her heart, there was a kind of reverence feeling she felt before the old Queen.

Then a drop of tear rolled out of Belamis right eye.

Princess Aurora said, "Belamis is crying..."

The old Queen nodded, and said, "..because... because the Gariusu giantess will love the Queen of the Great Planet ..." Then she approached Belamis, touching her hand.

"The scepter contained energy that could summon the giantess, and also subdue the giantess..." She said as she pointed the scepter at Belamis. A bright light shot Belamis forehead, and Belamis returned to her human form.

Belamis was still naked, kneeling before the old queen.

The old queen helped Belamis up, and said, "Indeed it is you.... you are back..." She wiped the tears on Belamis face, and looked at Belamis' blue eyes, still teary.

"..I... I am back ?" Belamis asked. She was totally confused, and stunned by what happened.

"Come in... I will tell you more about your race.." The old Queen said.

Belamis suited herself up, and followed the old Queen with the Princess.

"Sit down.... I have a long story for you both..." The old Queen said, as she looked at her scepter.

Belamis sat, and looked at the old Queen.

The old Queen hold the scepter, and said, "This scepter, contained the energy that can summon a Gariusu giantess.... and it could also subdue the Gariusu giantess, under the will of its master. This scepter is from Gariusu."

"... from Gariusu... my home planet ?" Belamis said.

"Yes... your home planet...... it was given to the Queen of the Great Planet... eons ago by some godlike beings. If Belamis was transformed by the power of the scepter...only this scepter could turn Belamis back to human form." The old Queen said, and she turned to Aurora.

"Remember the old legend I told you ?" She said.

Aurora said, "Yes.... it was about the old Great Planet ... you showed me a bed of bright red flowers covering half a hill and a big meadow.. you called them ... Yarisa... you said it was about love... you did not tell me the rest of the story.."

"It is about love and courage... a long long time ago..." She looked at Belamis, "...a Gariusu giantess was there to protect the Queen at the Great Planet. She fought bravely with monsters attacking the planet, she protected the Queen selflessly... and at the very last battle... the monsters tortured the giantess severely, and the Gariusis giantess suffered, her blood was spilled everywhere...... covering half the hill and the meadow..."

Princess Aurora covered her mouth in shock... imagining the horror of the battle to have so much blood spilled.

Belamis listened, and remembered her wounds, and she bowed her head, thinking of her mother, Dr. Kitty, and the old Queen before her.

"... Yarisa ... in the old language at the Great Planet... means the blood of love from the warrior.." The old Queen continued.

"Every 1000 years .... there will be a Gariusu giantess who will help protecting the Galaxy Energy..." She looked at Belamis.

"The only way to identify one is the scepter, handed down from one Queen to another, when the Gariusu giantess shows up...".

Belamis looked at the old Queen, and said, "..you mean.. that is me ?"

Princess Aurora immediately remembered how Belamis almost got herself killed when she fought the photon master. "That was her act to guard the Galaxy Energy..?"

"I knew what you did when you sacrifice yourself .... you nearly got killed....." The old Queen knew about that... ".. only the correct Gariusu giantess will respond to the scepter.."

"Those godlike beings who first gave this scepter to the Queen at Great Planet many eons ago, were intelligent beings that were pockets of energy with life. According to the legend, they are also the guardian of the Gariusu giantess. They will heal the Gariusu giantess, and the energy this scepter emit will resonate with the Gariusu giantess." The old Queen said.

Belamis looked at the scepter, and gazed in awe.

"According to the legend... once the Gariusu giantess appeared before the Queen... she would have to undergo many tests...."

"What tests ?" The Princess asked.

"I have no idea..." The old Queen said, "... because we have not seen one Gariusu giantess for 1000 years.."

She looked at Belamis, and touched her face, "... my child... all I know is that, the tests will be very painful for you..."

Belamis listened, and looked at the old Queen at her eyes. The old Queen clearly was concerned with Belamis for she might suffer a lot, not just the tests.

"Whatever the tests....." Belamis replied slowly... "...I am not afraid."

For days, Belamis remained outside, keeping watch.

"I wonder... what tests ..." Belamis thought.

The Belamis saw a strange glow at the palace again.

"The scepter..." She thought.

The scepter floated by itself out the palace and approached Belamis.

"... if it is the test...." Belamis thought.

Then suddenly a ball of light emitted from the scepter, and the ball of light engulfed Belamis.

"....haa...." Belamis cried. Then she lost her suit, and was all naked. Then Belamis levitated out to the open, and then turned into the giantess.

Out of nowhere, four shackles chained Belamis on her hands and feet, and the ball of light carried Belamis away.

Belamis was surprised, and the ball of light took her to a mountain, then the four chains fixed on the mountain, effectively chaining Belamis to it.

"Arrh..." Belamis roared, and she tried to struggle free, but the chains and shackles appeared to be made of ultra-hard materials, even Belamis exerted all her muscles and strength, yet she could not break free.

The sound of Belamis' roaring woke up the Princess and the old Queen, and they rode shuttles out and looked for Belamis. They found her chained to the mountain.

The old Queen looked, and tears rolled out of her eyes.

"... my poor child.... I just don't want you to go through this... but I can do nothing about it...it is the fate of Gariusu giants..." Said the old Queen, and she raised her shuttle and flew towards Belamis face, touching Belamis' face with both her hands.

Tears rolled out of Belamis eyes, as she was touched by the kindness of the Queen, and Belamis could only let out a low voice growl....

The Princess also approached, and looked Belamis in her eyes, "..Belamis..."

"Au...ro..ra.." Belamis said in her giantess voice.

"The tests... are going to be tough...and painful....." The old Queen said.

"The previous Queen was told... to treat the Gariusu giantess as a slave and not to give her love... " Said the Queen.

"Why ?" The Princess asked.

"For if the Gariusu giantess felt the love of the Queen, or if she felt loved... she would repay the love by suffering indefinitely all kinds of torture... thinkable and unthinkable.... the previous Queen gave the Gariusu giantess love... and the giantess, in protecting the Queen, suffered the most gruesome torture and pain...that's why she spilled her blood in the Great Planet..." The old Queen looked at Belamis, she saw those scars on Belamis body, ".... Belamis..."

Belamis listened, and she roared, trying to free herself.

Then suddenly the chains just detached, and a ball of energy carried her to a deep gorge.

The Princess and the old Queen followed.

There the chains at Belamis hand attached to the sides of the gorge. Then there was a earthquake, the gorge broke open, and the two sides were pushed apart by seismic force, pulling the arms of Belamis.

"...its the test of strength..." The old Queen said.

The seismic force was tremendous, pulling Belamis both arms, Belamis roared, and pulled with her arms, and exerting her pectorals... veins popped out on her arms, and pectorals. The sound of her muscles exerting was audible.

"She was so strong..." The Princess wondered.

"Gariusu giants were strong beings.. but the strongest ones are the giantesses.... the one chosen to protect the Galaxy Energy will be the strongest giantess...." The old Queen said.

Belamis was fighting the seismic force that could move earth and mountain with her own body... and she roared as she pulled with her arms and using her pectorals.

"Look... the gorge is closing again.." The Princess said.

Belamis strength was so great that she pulled back the sides of the gorge.

Then the chains detached, and the same ball of energy took her to a tall cliff, where she was chained on four limbs. Then many large boulders came hitting Belamis. The boulders hit her body, especially on her torso. Sharp edges of the boulders were directed at Belamis breasts, especially at her nipples where it hurt most.

Belamis flexed her muscles, making her torso's muscles firm, and her pectorals turgid.

The Princess could not bear to watch. The rain of boulders lasted for hours, before it stopped, and Belamis body was all in blood. She breathed heavily, with her chest moving as she breathed in and out.

"She is going to be chained there like this?" The Princess asked.

"...until the tests end..." The old Queen said, as she watched Belamis tearfully.

Belamis looked at the Princess and the Queen, she saw their caring eyes, and was touched.

"not painful..." Belamis muttered.

The old Queen flew to Belamis on her shuttle, and touched her nose, and tears rolled out of Belamis' eyes.

"She is so gentle, brave and innocent..." The old Queen looked at Belamis.

For days, Belamis remained in her giantess form. The ball of energy seemed to have intelligence, and took her through a lot of tests to test her strength and endurance. One was having her chained to the same gorge where the seismic force was pushing the sides of the gorge apart, but this time it was her legs being chained. Belamis felt the force pulling her legs, and as her legs were pulled apart, widening to a split leap, exerting the tendons on her thighs...

"Arr..arr.." Belamis felt the stress on her tendons, then she exerted her muscles and pulled back.

The old Queen and the Princess were there to witness, as Belamis endured and again passed those tests.

At night, Belamis was chained to the mountain said, standing upright, and her arms were up, as the chains on her hands were attached way up, not letting her to put her hands down.

The old Queen was compassionate, she always approached and comforted Belamis by patting her face. Belamis looked at the old Queen, and nodded.

The old Queen then told the Princess the story.

"The previous Giantess was also like Belamis. In the legend that passed on to us, the previous Queen was delivered a baby girl... that was the a orphan from Gariusu...the giantess. The Queen raised the girl, but was told by the intelligent beings not to love her, but treat the girl coldly... but as the girl grew up to a young woman, and became the giantess, the previous Queen could no longer treat her like she treated a slave, and the Queen loved the girl.... the girl, eventually became the giantess, knew that the Queen loved her, and as she felt the love... she repaid the love ... she broke off the chain in the first battle and fought the monsters .... and in the end, in protecting the Queen, she was tortured horribly by the enemies who attacked the Great Planet... until... until.... "

"Until what ?..." The Princess asked.

The old Queen could not continue. The legend had it that the giantess suffered the most horrid torture in the entire universe.

"The giantess suffered .. her blood covered the meadow and half the mountain... and a ball of energy took her away.. " The old Queen finished the story, eyes in tears, as she peered towards the mountain where Belamis was chained.

In the dark night, Belamis could not sleep. She was chained to the side of the mountain, and she wanted to break free. Her heart suddenly ached, as she thought she had to free herself and protect the old Queen. She wailed loudly, and pulled the chains with all her might. As she pulled, her wrists and ankles bleed, as the pulling was scaping her flesh.

"What is the sound ?" The Princess asked.

The old Queen listened, and said, "... that's Belamis, she is wailing... trying to break the shackles on her..." The old Queen said. "We must go.."

She and the Princess flew to the mountain on their shuttle.

There Belamis was struggling to pull the chains, eyes in tears. She pulled so hard that the shackles cut deeply at her wrists and ankles, and they were bleeding.

"Belamis..." The old Queen approached. "We are here..." She gently touched Belamis nose, as Belamis looked at her, and breathed heavily. She kept on pulling the chains.

"...don't pull.. it will hurt you..." The old Queen said gently.

"Belamis, we are here.." The Princess said, also trying to comfort Belamis.

"...the final test..." The old Queen remarked.

The ball of energy cut open Belamis pectorals, and two hooks poked into her pectorals, poking on Belamis' nipples and out her pectorals.

Then the hooks with chains at the end attached to the wall of a cliff, and there was a great earthquake, which pulled the chains.

"Arhhh..." Belamis groaned as the hooks pulled on her pectorals.

"Belamis!" Princess Aurora exclaimed.

"This... is the final of the initiation rites.... the force would pull on the hooks that penetrated Belamis' pectorals..." The old Queen said.

As the earth moved, the cliff moved away, pulling the chains, and the hooks on Belamis' pectorals.

Belamis exerted her pectorals, and endured the torture.

"It is like the initiation rite of some tribes on Earth..." Princess Aurora said... she read about these kinds of rites, and the rites were for warriors to prove their courage.

Belamis felt the pull on her pectorals, like ripping her muscles apart, but she endured.... without making even a sound of pain.

Then finally the earthquake stopped, and the ball of energy released the hook from Belamis' pectorals...

Then suddenly there was a great shaking and explosion.

A gigantic monster appeared, like a large bear, approached.

Belamis saw the monster, and roared, pulling the chains even harder, ignoring her wounds on her pectorals.

"We have to flee!!" The Princess shouted.

The old Queen and the Princess tried to fly on their shuttle and flee, but the monster shot out blasts of energy, nearly hitting them.

Belamis saw the old Queen and the Princess in danger, and roared. In her mind, after the several days of encounter, she cared about the old Queen so much that she would not let anyone harm her.

She looked at the old Queen, eyes filled with tears, and pulled the chains even harder, and the cut on her wrists and ankles bleed.

The old Queen said, "...the last test... if Belamis could break the shackles like the previous giantess did... she would be the worthy warrior..."

Princess Aurora looked, as Belamis roared and pulled the shackles.

Then the monster's energy blasts hit the shuttles, and both the old Queen's and the Princess' shuttle had to land. The two women began running, but the monster was closing in.

Belamis roared, then suddenly her strength multiplied and she broke the shackles. Belamis threw herself and shielded the old Queen and Aurora with her body, and monster's energy blasts hit her back.

Belamis then turned and pushed the monster with her bare arms.

"Heeee....yaahhhhhh...." Belamis yelled, as she exerted her muscles, pushing the monster back.

The bear like monster hit Belamis with one paw, the claws slashing Belamis chest, leaving several cuts on her body.

Belamis braved the pain, and charged the monster, hitting its abdomen with her might. The monster fell over. Then Belamis reached below the monster, and lifted it up with her arms and threw it to the mountain, then she leaped up and kicked the monster head.

Belamis then wrapped her arms round the monster's neck, and tightened her arms to try and strangle the monster. The monster could not breath, and gradually collapsed.

"Belamis... don't kill it!!" The old Queen shouted.

Belamis turned, still holding her arms tight to subdue the monster.

"Belamis, could you keep holding it ?" The Princess said.

Belamis nodded.

Then the two ladies emitted Galaxy energy, turning the monster back to a regular bear.

Belamis let it go.... and looked at the two ladies.

The old Queen approached Belamis, and looked at the brave giantess before her.

"You are really the Gariusu giantess...", Said the old Queen.

Belamis nodded, and she fell onto her knees. The old Queen held up the scepter and a beam shot at Belamis forehead, and she transformed back to her human form, and then collapsed.

"What happened..." Belamis woke up, and asked, after she spent days in coma.

It was the Princess beside her, "You ... went through the tests for the Gariusu giantess.." Said the Princess.

"The tests..." Belamis asked, as she recalled the events.

"How's the old Queen ?" Belamis remembered.

"She is alright. You needed rest..." The Princess said.

Belamis closed her eyes, but actually she did not sleep. She got off her bed silently and suited up, and stayed beside her jet.

Upon daybreak, the old Queen saw Belamis in her suit, sitting on the back of her jet. Belamis saw the old Queen, and she hopped down from her jet, and approached.

The old Queen looked at her, and gently touched Belamis face.

Belamis felt she was like a mother to her, just like Dr. Kitty, and she said, "I will protect this place, you and the Princess with my life."

The old Queen looked at Belamis, and said, "You are really the same as the Gariusu giantess.... you looked exactly like her...", she took out a scroll, and opened it. It was an ancient document, and on it was a drawing, showing a giantess fighting a monster.

Belamis looked and was amazed. That giantess looked like her.

"The legend said... your race of giants were peaceful and helpful beings, and some of you wandered in the universe helping others.." The old Queen said.

Belamis immediately remembered her days of wandering... she would also helped others in need.

"I have no place to go.... my home planet blew up.. and my people all perished." Belamis said, swallowing her sadness.

"No.... I think there are some of your race... the Gariusu giants around... it just that you have not met them yet.." The old Queen said.

"... you mean.. I can still find my people ?" Belamis said.

"I don't know.... but we heard the legends about your people in different planets...." The old Queen said.

Belamis looked at the heavens, thinking of the prospect of meeting her own kind again.

"You are a brave warrior already. I know you only learned about your past recently...." The old Queen said.

Belamis nodded. She had yet to come to terms with her identity. She thought she was the daughter of Gariusu's general Conan, then she knew she was adopted -- an orphaned child. Now she learned she was the Gariusu giantess that would guard the Galaxy Energy.

"How ironic... before this.. I tried to capture Princess Aurora, and use the Galaxy Energy to build my ideal world... now I turned out to be one that supposed to guard it..." Belamis said.

"Maybe... it's your fate... that in the end you be the protector of Galaxy Energy after all.... and you did your redemption at Great Planet by fighting the photon monster..." The old Queen said.

Belamis looked at the old Queen, somehow she felt she knew the old Queen for a long time.

The Princess and the old Queen sat in the palace, with Belamis standing.

"Princess Aurora, I will hand you this scepter...." The old Queen said, as she passed the scepter to Princess Aurora.

"What am I supposed to do with it..?" Princess asked.

"....Belamis .. the Gariusu giantess... will be summoned by this scepter..." The old Queen said, "... you will use this scepter .."

"No... Belamis is a free spirit..." The Princess said, as she looked at Belamis, ".... she will protect us with or without this...".

"..this scepter does more than summoning the giantess.. it could call on 'spirits' that would guard Belamis.." The old Queen said.

"'spirits' ?" Belamis asked.

"I called them 'spirits', but actually they are a race of energized lifeforms, without body but only energy.... they are the ones that will protect you..." The old Queen said.

"...In the legend.... these 'spirits' will heal the Gariusu giantess..." The old Queen replied.

Belamis nodded.

"But before I hand the scepter to the Princess..." The old Queen put her hands on Belamis chest and torso, and said, "...this will strengthen you...".

Immediately Belamis felt some energy flowing into her body.

"No.... " Belamis stepped back.

She knew the old Queen was giving her the Galaxy Energy.

"No..." Belamis shook her head, and she felt her muscles were stronger already.

"You cannot do this.." Belamis said, and her voice was trembling with emotion.

"My child.... I have lived my life... and Aurora will be the one sustaining the Galaxy Energy.. .you will need all the resources.." The old Queen was determined to give her bit of energy to Belamis.

Belamis said, "No!"

"Then I have to force you.." The old Queen held out her scepter.

A beam shot at Belamis' forehead, turning her to the giantess. Belamis immediately let out a loud cry.

"What are you doing..?" The Princess exclaimed.

Tears streamed out of Belamis' eyes, and she muttered.."No..". The scepter radiated out energy that subdued Belamis, and the energy forced Belamis to kneel down, and Belamis was crying out in sorrow..."Arhhhh...."

"Please stop... Belamis is not willing ..." The Princess begged.

The old Queen point the scepter to the Princess and trapped her in a ball of energy.

The old Queen had tears in her eyes, she then said, "I waited for so many years for you to come.... your ancestor saved the previous Queen by giving her life. When that giantess was about to die... the Queen gave her last energy to save her.. this was the legend -- if the Queen gave love to the giantess, and the giantess loved the Queen in return, one of them will die..."

"You are going to transfer all your Galaxy energy to Belamis ?" The Princess shouted.

"Aurora, this has to be done... otherwise Belamis could not become the ultimate Gariusu giantess to protect Galaxy energy, and to fight the enemies.." The old Queen said, in tears.

The Princess cried, and said, "No...... it cannot be true... you don't have to do it.."

Belamis heard the words, and more tears rolled from her eyes, and she shook her head.
Then Belamis exerted her body even harder, trying to break free from the energy field, but the field was like a gripping hand, Belamis could not break free, and she wailed loudly....

"Just a bit more...." The old Queen continued beaming the Galaxy Energy to Belamis.

As the Galaxy Energy strengthened Belamis, Belamis let out a loud roar, and broke free from the energy field.

"...she was so... so strong... not even the scepter could subdue her..." The old Queen wondered. She did not know that Belamis was extraordinarily stronger even than the Gariusu giantess because her body was strengthened by the cyborg technology.

Then suddenly another monster appeared from the sky, flying down to them.

Belamis looked at the Queen and the Princess. She picked them up and placed them in the palace doorway, and then Belamis rushed to fight the monster.

"Belamis..." The old Queen looked at her.

"She is gentle and brave..." The Princess said, "...and the last thing she want to happen is for you to die for her..." The Princess told the old Queen.

The monster was a winged being, holding a spear. It landed, and lashed the spear at Belamis.

Belamis had no weapons, so she could only dodge and avoid the spearhead. Then as Belamis dodged she rolled on the ground at got near the monster, and she kicked the monster.

The monster had tentacles at its back, and the tentacles shot blasts of flames at Belamis. Belamis was hit and moaned in pain.

Then the monster pulled out another spear and used both spears at Belamis. Belamis dodged as she braved the pains on her body. The monster then spitted out venom from its mouth, hitting Belamis eyes.

"Arrhh.." Belamis cried in pain. The venom made Belamis eyes hurt, she shut her eyes and couldn't see.

The monster then poked the spears at Belamis, the spears poked through Belamis chest, one at each of her breast, and the monster pinned Belamis down with the spears.

"Belamis!!" The Princess yelled.

Belamis could not move, the spears pinned her to the ground, and she was seriously injured.

Belamis rubbed her eyes to wipe off the venom, and she could see. The monster then shot more blasts at her.

"Arrhh...." Belamis groaned in pain, and tried to pull the spears out of her body, but the monster stepped on her right arm, then use a sword and jabbed her left arm. Belamis was totally overpowered by the monster.

"I have to give Belamis all of the Galaxy Energy.." The old Queen said, and she hopped on her shuttle and flew right to Belamis, who was fighting the monster.

Belamis saw the old Queen approached, she roared and forced herself to rise up. As she did this, the spears went right through her body.

The monster waved the sword and jabbed Belamis at her left side. Belamis grabbed the monster's hand and punched it, then she used her handchop and hit the monster, forcing it to let go of the sword.

But the monster was tough, it stepped back, and then sprayed out sharp spikes, hitting Belamis.

Belamis fell to the ground, with several spikes piercing deeply to her body.

The monster then shot out a beam of electromagnetic energy, hitting Belamis.

Belamis groaned in pain, and she tried to stand up and fight.

"Belamis... receive the energy." The old Queen approached her, then a beam of Galaxy Energy shot at Belamis chest.

"Queen..." Belamis said. The monster then shot the electromagnetic beam at the old Queen, as she gave out her last bit of energy.

"No...!" Belamis shouted, as the old Queen's shuttle was hit. Belamis caught the old Queen on her palms.

The monster pulled another spear and headed towards Belamis. Belamis was holding the old Queen with both hands and could not fight, and the spear poked through her chest.

Yet Belamis ignored the onslaught, and looked at the old Queen, in tears.

"... Belamis.... I have given you my last bit of energy...".

Immediately Belamis felt a strong burst of energy through her body and her muscles flexed and became much stronger.

The monster tried to pull the spear out, but couldn't.

Belamis exerted her pectorals so hard that the spear was grabbed by her muscles, she roared and then pulled the sword from her torso and slashed the head off the monster.

Then she leaped back, and the spear was pulled out. Belamis then threw the sword at the monster, the sword jabbed through the monster, and the monster exploded.

With blood all over, Belamis knelt down, holding the old Queen in her palms, and Belamis cried.

The old Queen looked at the innocent giantess before her and cried too. The old Queen was very weak.

"No...." Belamis was teary, and she tried to use her own life force to save the old Queen.

The old Queen raised her scepter and the energy field forced Belamis to put down the old Queen and hold her in a kneeling position, so that she could not move.

Belamis wailed in sorrow, as she was subdued by the energy. The Princess ran towards them.

"You majesty!!" The Princess approached the old Queen.

"My last bit of the Galaxy energy in me... was meant for sustaining me until the Gariusu giantess come... now she is here.." She looked at the teary Belamis.

"...but you will die..." The Princess said.

"... I should have died a long time ago, if I was not waiting for her.." The old Queen looked at Belamis.

Belamis tried to break free from the energy field, as she was wailing out loudly. She didn't want the Queen to sacrifice for her. Belamis struggled fiercely, and her exertion caused her to bleed more profusely, and blood was all over Belamis, with her wailing loudly.

"...it will be painful for her heart now..." The old Queen said, she pointed the scepter at Belamis, strengthening the field that entrapped Belamis.

"This scepter was used by the previous Queen.... she was told to enslave the giantess using this... but in fact this was the scepter to protect the giantess...." The energy field strengthened, tightening the grip at Belamis, with Belamis in tears, struggling fiercely.

The Princess looked at Belamis, and also the old Queen, and her heart was broken.

Belamis looked at the queen, in tears, as she felt the energy field gripping her like ropes, tightening onto her. She tried even harder to break away, then in a roar she broke free again.

Belamis' effort to break free was so powerful that the old Queen could not hold on to the scepter and dropped it. Immediately Belamis put her palm between the old Queen and the scepter to stop her from picking it up. Belamis looked at Princess Aurora, and Princess Aurora immediately got the hint, she picked up the scepter.

The old Queen saw that Belamis was so much stronger, and she stopped her from giving her last bit of energy. The old Queen looked at Belamis, and said, "Belamis...... why ?"

Belamis looked at the old Queen, and picked her up in her palms. The old Queen began to collapse, and Belamis radiated her own life force to try and restore the ailing old Queen, and tears rolled out of Belamis eyes.

The old Queen felt energy was streaming into her body, "..... Belamis... you are using your own life force to save me...... in the legend.... the giantess knocked off the scepter from the previous Queen's hand...then she trapped the Queen instead... and the giantess fought bravely....and finally the monsters captured the giantess, and tortured her to near death...before she dealt the final blow and killed them.... the giantess nearly died for the Queen..." The old Queen recalled..she knew the horrible torture that Belamis one day would suffer, and she looked at Belamis, who was crying.

"Belamis has a brave soul, and a heart full of love.... that will bring her even more suffering.." The old Queen looked at Belamis, she was crying for Belamis, as she could tell by Belamis' demeanor, she would be a very brave and altruistic giantess.

"Queen...." Belamis uttered in her low vice, and though she met her only a short period, Belamis already felt she was like her mother, and the idea that the old Queen died for her was unthinkable.

"Belamis...." The old Queen signed, and closed her eyes. She was too weak.

Belamis picked up the old Queen in her palms, and the Princess saw Belamis was teary.

Belamis looked, then she looked up the heavens, with tears rolling out of her eyes. The Princess heard and her heart broke as she saw Belamis cried.

Belamis was bleeding profusely. Princess Aurora held up the scepter, and a beam hit Belamis head, turning her back to human form. In human form Belamis was carrying the old Queen in her arms.

"Belamis..." The Princess exclaimed.

".. she is very weak..." Belamis said, face covered with tears, but she tried to sound calm.

"...the only way to save her is to bring her back to the Great Planet.." Replied the Princess.

Belamis looked at the old Queen in coma, and replied, ".... then we had to go...".

Belamis carried the old Queen into Queen Cosmos, with Princess Aurora following, and in no time Queen Cosmos launched.

"It will again take us three weeks to get there..." Princess Aurora said.

"We need help..." Belamis replied.

Then Belamis noticed the scepter which the old Queen used to subdue her. Aurora was the new owner of the scepter.

"Belamis... I will not use this at you.." Princess Aurora said, ".... you are not my slave, but my friend... and you are a free spirit.."

Belamis nodded, and said, "Thanks..." Belamis pushed the thrust of Queen Cosmos and set it full speed ahead, trying to get back to the Great Planet.
