ベラミス - her epic journey of her soul

Chapter 15 The love to the old Queen

As Queen Cosmos proceeded full speed ahead, the old Queen of the Great Planet remained in bed, and Princess Aurora took care of the old Queen.

"Where is Belamis ?" The old Queen asked.

"She's out there in her jet patrolling..." Replied the Princess.

"I have not seen her for days.... did I... did I scare her ?" The old Queen asked.

"No...Belamis loved you dearly...... and I know when I saw her carry you on board..." The Princess said, "with her wounds still bleeding and naked, she carried you in her arms to Queen Cosmos, and ignored her pain...." The Princess said.

The Princess was in deep thought.

"She did not even care about her wounds..."

Belamis was severely wounded, but she only wanted to take the old Queen back to the Great Planet to save her, if not for the Princess who insisted to bandage her up.

"Belamis... you have to treat your wounds..." The Princess exclaimed, as Belamis wanted to go out on her jet...

Belamis looked back at the Princess. Then she sat down silently and took her suit off, exposing her wounds. Belamis' chest, torso, arms and back were all wounded, and the Princess took a while to clean her wounds and bandage her up.

"..I am sorry ... I cannot do better than this.." Said the Princess, as she put the gauze pads and bandaged Belamis.

"No worries.... I will be fine.." Belamis looked at the Princess, and replied calmly, but her eyes shimmered with gratitude, and she said, "Thank you."

"Be careful.... don't exert yourself... otherwise you will bleed again.." The Princess said, but she knew if Belamis fought the monsters, she would tear open the wounds and bleed...

Belamis nodded, and went to her jet without a word.

"She may appear cold and aloof... but it's because she doesn't want me to worry about her." The Princess looked at Belamis as she exit, and felt very sorry for Belamis.

Then the door opened, and Belamis entered. The old Queen saw her, and Belamis looked at her.

Belamis' face was expressionless, but her eyes glittered in tears.

"Is everything alright ?" Belamis asked in a calm voice.

"Yes..." The Princess said.

"Good..." Belamis remarked and exited the room.

As she left the room, Belamis struggled to hold back her tears... "I cannot let the old Queen worry about me.. or love me..." She thought, and her heart ached at the idea of turning away from the love of the old Queen.

Belamis entered the cockpit and sat down, gazing in the starry heavens. She remembered her mother... "... mother..." She thought.

The Princess entered, and saw Belamis.

The Princess knew that on the surface Belamis was hard necked and aloof, but Belamis' eyes showed that she loved the old Queen.

"Let me pilot Queen Cosmos... you can take a rest." The Princess said.

"It's OK. I'm not tired.." Belamis replied.

"I know you cared about the old Queen... even if you don't say it..." The Princess said, "You should go and see her...... she... she loved you and worried about you.."

Belamis looked at the Princess, and she remained silent.

It was in the late hours, where the Princess was asleep. Belamis entered the room where the old Queen was.

Belamis looked at the old Queen who was asleep, and Belamis struggled to hold back her tears.

Belamis then knelt down beside the bed, and gazed at the old Queen.

"If only I can transform to my giantess form.... I can use my own life energy..." Belamis thought, as she gently stroke the old Queen's hair.

The old Queen opened her eyes and saw Belamis. Belamis saw that the old Queen was awaken, and she stood up, and was about to leave the room.

"Belamis...don't..." The old Queen said in her weak voice. Belamis stopped and looked back, and she knelt down beside the bed.

"... I am sorry ... to have try and force it upon you..." The old Queen said, as she remembered how Belamis wailed and cried, struggling to break free from the force field even if she's bleeding.

Belamis was silent, her eyes glittered with tears in it.

The old Queen put her hand on Belamis face, and said gently, "I will not force the Galaxy Energy upon you.... to have to trap you with the force field... makes my heart break... especially when I hear you wailing to break free..."

Belamis said, "When you are back at the Great Planet... everything's going to be fine. You rest well now." Then she left the room quickly, and tears streamed out of her eyes.

Belamis was touched by the old Queen's love, and it reminded of Belamis of her mother.

Belamis returned to the cockpit, and then the alarm sounded.

"Enemies ? Monsters ?" Belamis wondered, and she turned on the screens.

Indeed it were space monsters.

When both the Princess and the old Queen were absent from the Great Planet, and with Golinkor empire meddling with Galaxy Energy around, space monsters reappeared.

Belamis rushed to her jet and flew out. Then she opened her cockpit and stand outside her jet, and she drew her sword, ready for combat.

"I am not going to let you harm the Princess or the old Queen.." Belamis was determined to fight and protect the old Queen and the Princess.

The Princess heard the alarm and was in Queen Cosmos cockpit.

"I will deal with the space monsters... you steer Queen Cosmos and take refuge at that asteroid..." Belamis said to the Princess.

"OK!" Replied the Princess, as she steered Queen Cosmos away.

The space monsters were a number of giant winged dragons, spitting out flames.

Belamis leaped from her jet and cut the head of one of the monsters, then she flew her jet and fired at the others. There were at least eight of those monsters around.

Belamis leaped out and attacked another monster, the monster fired superheated flames at her, which Belamis endured as she sunk her sword to the head of the monster.

Two out of the eight monsters were killed by Belamis, and Belamis threw her sword like a spear, penetrating two of the monster, again killing them. As she caught her sword back, she felt a piercing pain, and she pressed her hand on her torso... she knew she torn open her wounds.

Princess Aurora landed Queen Cosmos, and watched from afar, worried about Belamis. The battle was intense and Belamis fought the monster all by herself.

The battle was over in about 20 minutes, and Belamis returned. She entered the cockpit, then suddenly she fell onto her knees.

Princess Aurora rushed forward, and said, "You tore open your wounds...." Princess Aurora helped Belamis up.

Belamis took her helmet off, and had a painful expression on her face.

Belamis then took her suit off, revealing her bandaged body. The bandages at her breasts and back were soaked in blood. It was the wound of the spears which penetrated her body. The wounds were torn open and Belamis was bleeding again.

"If... if only I could stitch you up.... " Princess Aurora said, as she tried to stop Belamis' bleeding.

"Then... stitch me up..." Belamis said, as she rose up.

"...but ..." The Princess hesitated.

"Let me.." The old Queen said. She was off the bed, and she heard Belamis. "..I know how to do it...."

Belamis looked at the old Queen, and said, "You mustn't walk around..."

The old Queen smiled, and said, "Look at you... you needed rest too.." She gently put her hands on Belamis shoulder, and Belamis looked.

"We have no anesthesia here..." Princess Aurora said, "..it will hurt really badly.."

"I am ready.." Belamis said.

The old Queen then began to stitch up the wounds on Belamis breasts and back with a very thick needle.

Belamis sat very still, with Princess Aurora helping out, and Princess Aurora saw Belamis clutching her teeth, enduring the intense pain.

After half an hour, the wounds were stitched. Princess Aurora bandaged Belamis up, and Belamis put back her suit. She looked at the old Queen, and said, "You must rest..."

The old Queen touched Belamis face, and nodded, before she fainted.

Belamis exclaimed, "Queen!!" Belamis carried the old Queen to her room, and looked at her, and Belamis eyes were filled with tears. Belamis body was aching all over, and she was shaking.

"I don't know how long can she hold on..." Princess Aurora said, "She is very weak now.."

Belamis looked, and wished she could transform to the giantess, then suddenly, she turned to the Princess, "use the scepter.... turn me to the giantess..."

"What ?" The Princess said.

"....so... so that I can transfer my life energy to the old Queen.." Replied Belamis.

"But...."

"This is the only option....I can revive her..." Belamis said, "There's no time to argue.."

Belamis carried the old Queen out to the open.

"I am doing it now.... " Princess Aurora said, as she pointed the scepter at Belamis. Princess Aurora thought to herself, "I... I never wanted to use it on Belamis..." She looked at Belamis eyes.

Belamis nodded, "Just do it..."

Princess Aurora replied, "Sorry.... " She commanded the scepter, and then the scepter fired out a beam and the beam hit Belamis' forehead.
Belamis lost her suit and transformed into the giantess.

In the transformation, the newly stitched wounds were torn open, and Belamis was bleeding again, and Belamis made a soft sound as she felt the pain as the stitched wounds were torn open...

Princess Aurora saw all that, and wept..."Belamis.."

Belamis looked at Princess Aurora, and nodded, trying to say the she was okay.

In the giantess form, Belamis placed her hand onto the old Queen, and began sending out her own life energy.

Because Belamis was consuming her own life energy, it took a toll on her. By the time Belamis finished, and Princess Aurora turned Belamis back to the human form, Belamis could barely stand up, and her wounds were also bleeding.

"...you have to bandage me all over again.." Belamis smiled.

"Belamis..." Princess Aurora said, visibly concerned and sad to watch Belamis suffered like that.

"..It... it is OK.." Belamis replied, and she forced herself to carry the old Queen back to her room, and she even forgot to suit up, and just walked all naked.

Belamis put a blanket over the old Queen, before she fell onto her knees, and she breathed heavily.

"You cannot keep doing this..." Princess Aurora said, "...even you ... you might die too.."

Belamis looked at Princess Aurora, and said, ".... I know what I am doing... I have to protect you and the old Queen....and...I cannot let her die ...."

In the sick room, Princess Aurora bandaged Belamis up, and she looked at Belamis.

Belamis then took a deep breath, before she suited up and rose up, then she turned to the other side.

"Belamis...... I know you are tough ... but we cared about you.." Princess Aurora said, "..and Kugo loved you."

Belamis heard the name Kugo, and paused.

"Kugo.... " Belamis uttered, then a smile was on her face. "He gives me so much happiness.." Replied Belamis.

"If I.... if I... " Belamis said, "... if I don't make it... tell him... every brief moment with him... are my greatest joy...".

"Belamis, you must not say such things..." Princess Aurora said.

"I am a warrior.... and its normal for us to die in battle..." Belamis replied, "Let's head back to the cockpit..."

At the cockpit, Queen Cosmos was cruising steadily at its full speed. Because the old Queen was too weak, they could not use warp flight.

Belamis then has a thought in her head.

"Aurora, what if I ... I transfer a large part of my life energy to the old Queen ..so that she is strong enough to withstand the warp flight..." Belamis said.

"No..... you will die too..." Princess Aurora answered.

"Listen to me.... I will transfer as much of my life energy to the old Queen, enough to strengthen her so she could sustain the warp flight, and I retain enough. When you and the Queen got back to the Great Planet.... the old Queen will be revived... and then you can save me.." Belamis said.

"It will be a big gamble...." Replied Princess Aurora.

"The old Queen is ailing... with this speed, we still have to travel at least 5 days.... I am afraid she could not make it... warp flight will take us there in less than 3 hours..." Belamis said, as she looked at the calculations.

"This is the only way to save her.." Belamis said.

Princess Aurora replied, "...but..."

Belamis looked at Princess Aurora, and said, "Princess Aurora, the old Queen is like my mother now. If she died, my heart would be torn apart. I would rather suffer any pain, any torture than to watch her die like that."

Princess Aurora immediately remembered the sad legend about how the Gariusu giantess gave her life for the Queen a thousand years ago....one night... the old Queen told her more about how the Gariusu giantess was tortured and suffered as she fought to protect the Queen one thousand years ago.

"What ????" Exclaimed Princess Aurora.

The old Queen continued to tell Princess Aurora the story a thousand years ago, handed down by word of mouth from one Queen to another.

"Yes....the attacking enemies captured the Gariusu giantess. In order to force the Gariusu giantess to reveal where she hid the Queen, the enemies tortured her for days, subjecting her to the most horrendous torture."

The old Queen voice shook, as she continued, "The giantess suffered for nights and days excruciating pain. They cut her flesh off bit by bit, they scorched her body with red hot iron, they ripped her muscles apart."

"The giantess refused to give away the location of the Queen....the enemies stepped up the torture: they plugged her eyes out, broke her fingers and bones one by one....all kinds of torture...the Gariusu giantess endured.....not even letting out a cry....body shaking immensely because of the horrid pain she experiences...." The old Queen recalled, her voice shook and tears rolled out of her eyes. Princess Aurora shed tears, as she listened.

"All her body was cut open, she bleed all over, and her blood covered the meadow, the hillside and even the streams and river turned red with her blood...she clutched her teeth...refusing to let out even a groan....until finally helped arrived, the new Queen came with her protectors and drove away the enemies...they found the Gariusu giantess lying in a pool of blood, body mutilated... .. but she was still alive...in gruesome pain, the the Queen crying, the giantess could barely move, but she still uttered softly the words ma ma...and tears rolled out of the giantess hollow eye sockets.. her tear glands were still there... then the guardians of Gariusu giantess took the bleeding Gariusu giantess away... and she was never seen again.... legends had it that she was healed and went to protect other planets.."

Princess Aurora cried, "You mean... one day Belamis would suffer like that ?" Princess Aurora asked in a shaking voice. The old Queen looked at her, and looked away, "Belamis...... she was willing to sacrifice herself even before she knew she was a Gariusu giantess....and from her behavior I saw...." The old Queen stopped.

Princess Aurora gasped.

"The Gariusu giantess are beings that are extremely strong and tough..... but with body that can experience indefinite pain.. very very excruciating pains beyond imagination.......their almost immortal body is like a curse....their enemies can inflict all kinds of torture on them...." Said the old Queen.

As Princess Aurora recalled that conversation, she looked at Belamis, and her eyes filled with tears, and she immediately realized, Belamis indeed was the Gariusu giantess, willing to suffer any pain for the her love to the Queen.

"OK. You have to be careful." Princess Aurora remarked, holding back her tears.

Belamis nodded, and she turned away, also holding back her tears.

Queen Cosmos landed on an asteriod, where Belamis carried the old Queen out to the open.

"Are you ready ?" Princess Aurora asked.

Belamis nodded.

Princess Aurora lifted the scepter and fire the beam at Belamis, and instantly she turned into the giantess form.

Belamis then placed her palm over the old Queen, and began emitting her own life energy to the old Queen.

Princess Aurora watched, as Belamis knelt down, and sending her own life energy out, and Princess Aurora shed tears as she watched the scarred body of Belamis.

After 20 minutes, Belamis turned back to human form, and she was on her knees, and could not stand up. Cold sweat was all on Belamis' face, and she was shaking.

"Help the old Queen back to Queen Cosmos first.." Belamis said, her voice was weak.

"I will be right back.." Princess Aurora replied.

After Princess Aurora took the old Queen in, she helped Belamis up, and headed to the cockpit.

"I have placed the old Queen in the protection chamber..." Princess Aurora said, "I will also go into my protection chamber now."

Belamis suited up, and sat on the pilot seat, "Signal me when you are ready..." Belamis said.

Princess Aurora entered to her protection chamber. Warp flight strained human being, and both her and the old Queen need to be in the chamber to be protected from the stress of warp flight.

Princess Aurora said in the transmitter, "I am ready...", and in her thought, "..Belamis...you must hang on..."

"Ten seconds to warp flight.... five, four, three, two, one..." Belamis counted and then pushed the lever to initiate the warp flight. Immediately Belamis groaned in pain..."arhh...eee.....arh..." She clutched her teeth.... before the intense pain on her body caused her to black out.

After a long silence, Queen Cosmos was in the vicinity of the Great Planet, out from the warp flight.

Princess Aurora exited her chamber, she looked at the chamber beside her where the old Queen was lying. The old Queen was normal, and was asleep. She then ran to the cockpit.

The Belamis was unconscious. Belamis was weakened after she transfer a large part of her energy to the old Queen, normally Belamis would not have any problem in warp flight, but this time the stress of the flight was too much.

"Belamis... Belamis.." Princess Aurora tried to wake her up.

Belamis gradually opened her eyes, and she took a deep breath, and struggled to stand up.

"No... you are too weak now.." Princess Aurora said.

"We must land the Queen Cosmos first..." Belamis said.

Then suddenly Queen Cosmos shook, and alarms sounded...

"The thrust and the engines have trouble..." Princess Aurora cried.

Belamis scrambled to the pilot seat and grab the steering controls.

"No... Queen Cosmos is loosing energy and thrust..." Princess Aurora yelled.

Belamis steered Queen Cosmos, trying to stabilize it. The two women gazed anxiously as Queen Cosmos was approaching the Great Planet.

"Belamis..." Princess Aurora remarked.

"I will stabilize the space ship... " Belamis pulled the thrust and the controls, so that Queen Cosmos was in a landing mode...

Then Queen Cosmos touched down... but it was still racing at high speed.

"We have to stop it..." Princess Aurora cried, "... ahead is a deep valley!!"

Belamis looked, and she said, "You take over! I will go and stop it!"

She ran out of the cockpit.

"No... Belamis!!" Princess Aurora yelled.

Belamis ignored the Princess cry, and ran as fast as she could in her weak body. She leaped out with all her might, and landed on the ground, and she moaned in pain.... her body was aching.

She stood before Queen Cosmos as it raced towards her.

".... have to stop it... even with only my bare hands.." Belamis thought.

The front landing gear hit Belamis, as she pushed with her hands... but Queen Cosmos was not slowing down a bit, Belamis knew all her wounds were torn...and the pain was all over her body.

"...no.... I have to save the old Queen and the Princess.." Belamis thought...and suddenly she cried out aloud, as she was thinking to save the Princess and the old Queen.

Then Belamis transformed into her giantess form. Her concern and love to the old Queen and the Princess triggered her transformation.

"Belamis!!" Princess Aurora saw at the window Belamis in the giantess form, who caught Queen Cosmos with her hands and stopped it, and Belamis was bleeding.

Belamis hold Queen Cosmos in her hands, and gently put it down, and she said "Aurora...", before she transformed back to human form and fainted.

Belamis woke up, and then she said, "Old Queen!!"

"She's OK..." Princess Aurora replied.

Belamis found her lying on the bed, and she sat up and looked at Princess Aurora.

"We made it to the Great Planet.... the old Queen is resting in the Palace, she will recover." Replied Princess Aurora.

Belamis breathed a sign of relief, and lied down.

Then Belamis looked at Princess Aurora, and said, "She did not use her energy on me, did she ?"

"No... she didn't... I did..." Princess Aurora replied.

"You..." Belamis remarked, she got up and put her arms on Princess' shoulders.

"It's OK.... in the Great Planet, I can use the Galaxy Energy to heal you.." Princess Aurora said.

Belamis looked at Princess Aurora, and could tell that she was weakened.

"You... you don't have to.." Belamis said.

"No.... it is your bet that took me and the old Queen here safely, and your bet worked. Here, me and the old Queen's Galaxy energy are strengthened, and I can use the Galaxy energy to help you. All I did was to revive you, and that is not really a big deal. " Replied Princess Aurora.

Belamis looked at the Princess, and she got off the bed and put on her suit, and then she said to Princess Aurora, "Thank you."

"I have to fulfill my duty to protect you and the old Queen..." Said Belamis.

She then went out put on her cape and helmet.

"Belamis..." Princess Aurora thought.

On the Great Planet, the old Queen was able to revive because the Galaxy Energy were concentrated there, with Princess Aurora there to amplify and propagate it, the old Queen could rest and revive.

Belamis spent time in patrolling as well as tending the old Queen.

The old Queen placed her hands on Belamis face, as Belamis knelt before her.

"Belamis... you are a brave and compassionate warrior... and the Gariusu giantess...., one day you must receive all the Galaxy Energy you need..." Said the old Queen.

"This can wait... " Replied Belamis. She stood up and leave the room and went to her patrolling around the Great Planet. The reinforcement from the Galaxy Union would arrive six days later.

Princess Aurora watched Belamis patrolled everyday, and then when Belamis landed and exited her jet, Princess Aurora approached Belamis.

"I had something for you..." Princess Aurora remarked as she took out a necklace, with a small yellow star on it... same star on the badge wore by Kugo.

"What is this ?"

"Dr. Kitty made three badges for Kugo, Djorgo and Hakkah, and one necklace... she told me..."

Dr. Kitty said, "You shall find three cyborgs to protect you on the way to the Great Planet..you would give them these badges..."

"What's this necklace for ?"

"A fourth one.... the one that would protect the Galaxy Energy after... after you arrived at the Great Planet....these badges symbolize love, courage and friendship...the necklace... is for the warrior of love...."

"You are a kind and compassionate person at heart, only once lost, but now you found yourself...and transformed into the warrior of love..." Replied Princess Aurora.

Belamis nodded, and said, "I will protect you and the old Queen."

"You and Kugo are so alike in some ways...." Said Princess Aurora.

"What ?"

"You both like to have it your way, sometimes stubborn.... and interestingly, I am given the means to ... to make Kugo and you behave... Kugo had his head band which I can cause it to tighten.... and the scepter. However, I promise I will not use them on you both... for you two are free warriors..." Replied the Princess.

"I didn't know that about Kugo..." Smiled Belamis.

"You should have seen his look when I tried that thing..." Chuckled Princess Aurora.

Belamis smiled, and said, "Kugo is so rowdie at times... but I can make him behave..."

Princess Aurora laughed.

It's late, Princess and the old Queen were asleep, and Belamis stayed up and kept watch.

"Before the reinforcement arrive I cannot take any chances..." Belamis thought.

Then suddenly there was a loud bang.

A gigantic, tiger like monster appeared, then another one, a giant serpent also came.

Belamis hopped to her jet and set up to fight the monsters. She fired from her jet, but both the monsters could spit out blasts of flames and energy, Belamis steered the jet away and charged again, as she got out of her cockpit, and drew her sword.

The tiger monster roared and fired flames at Belamis which Belamis dodged, but the serpent attacked from the other side. Belamis leaped to her space bike and flew to the serpent.

She used her sword to slice the serpent, cutting its neck, the serpent lashed its tail at Belamis, nearly hitting her. Belamis then turned to the tiger monster and leaped out, trying to use her sword at the tiger.

The tiger violently shook its head but Belamis hold on and poked it with her sword, but it only mildly harm the beast. Belamis leaped away, only to be shot by a blast of energy beam from the serpent's eye.

"Arh..." Belamis fell to the ground. The serpent then coiled its tail round Belamis, trying to strangle Belamis.

"Arh...arh..." The tightening grip of the serpent was crushing Belamis, and she moaned in pain. The tiger approached the Palace, and Belamis saw both the old Queen and Princess Aurora there.

"No..." Belamis thought.... trying desperately to break free from the tightening strangle of the giant serpent. The serpent fired flames at her...

"Belamis!!" The old Queen exclaimed.

Belamis saw the old Queen, and in her heart she again had the will to fight and die for them, she transformed to the giantess and broke free from the serpent.

With herself freed, Belamis first caught the serpent by its tail and threw it far away. The tiger could fly in the air, and dive down and attacked her.

Belamis struggled with the tiger, and Belamis pushed it away.

Suddenly the serpent crept up to her and coiled onto her, trapping Belamis. The tiger monster then bit Belamis, sinking its teeth into Belamis left chest, and started to pull.

"Aarr..." Belamis moaned in pain, and she felt the pain. The serpent also turned its head and bit Belamis right chest, and pulling.

The serpent tighten its grip, trying to crush Belamis, and also trying to tear flesh from Belamis chest.

"Belamis!" Both the old Queen and Princess Aurora exclaimed.

Belamis let out a loud roar, using all her might, she broke free, throwing the serpent way, then she pulled the jaws of the tiger monster and pushed it back, but the tiger was relentless. The tiger lashed it claws at Belamis, scraping several wounds on her back and chest, before Belamis pressed the tiger down.

The serpent charged at Belamis, Belamis with one hand still holding the tiger down, used her left hand, and hit the serpent at its head. Belamis then grabbed the serpent's tail then tied it to the tiger's neck, and pull, using the serpent's like a large rope, and she pulled to tighten the noose on the tiger.

The two monster struggled, and Belamis used her strength and hold on, pulling the serpent hard and also squeezing the serpent's neck. As she was doing it, her chests bleed.

"Belamis... hold them right there!!!" Princess Aurora rushed forward, and let out her Galaxy energy, turning both the monster to normal beasts - a snake and a tiger, which Belamis let go.

Belamis breathed heavily, then she fell onto her knees, as the old Queen and Princess Aurora stood before her.

"... Queen..." Belamis uttered in her giantess voice.

The old Queen looked at Belamis in giantess form before her, and was teary, "Belamis..."

The Belamis turned back to human form and collapsed.

Belamis laid on the bed, with Princess Aurora cleaning her wounds and bandaging her. The old Queen stood by, very worried.

Belamis woke up, and she saw the two ladies. She tried to get up, Princess Aurora cried, "No... you are seriously wounded.."

"You cannot move now..." The old Queen added.

Belamis signed.

Then the old Queen felt dizzy, Belamis immediately got up and hold her, ignoring her wounds.

"I am OK.. just tired." The old Queen said.

Belamis looked at the Princess.

"Belamis.... I cannot stop her... she used her Galaxy energy..." Replied Princess Aurora.

Tears rolled out of Belamis eyes, and she carried the old Queen in her arms, and took her to her room and laid her down on her bed. Belamis knelt beside the old Queen's bed.

The old Queen reached out her hands and touched Belamis face, ".. I did not give all my Galaxy energy to you... just use them... on your wounds..."

Belamis could only said, "Why....." and tears began welling up in Belamis eyes.

The old Queen gently wiped Belamis tears from the corner of her eyes, and said, "I love you.... you are as dear to me as a daughter now..."

Hearing these words, Belamis hold the old Queen's hand and tears just rolled down her face.

Princess Aurora watched this scene, and was touched, "... Belamis ..."

The monsters' attacks came daily, and almost every time, Belamis returned wounded, sometimes in her giantess form, and Princess Aurora would tend her wounds everyday.

Belamis sat there silently, with her suit off and naked. She let Princess Aurora cleaned her wounds and applied bandages, throwing out the blood soaked ones.

Princess Aurora looked at Belamis' body, and thought, "She is strong, and her wounds are healing...but there are always new wounds..." She gently used a wet towel soaked in warm water to wipe off dirt from Belamis body.

"I am all dirty now..." Belamis said.

"Yes... you don't even have a chance to wash yourself..." Princess Aurora replied, as she cleaned Belamis' wound, and put on medications and pads, and putting on bandages.

"It will be another 5 days before any help arrive.." Belamis said, as she looked at her sword.

Unlike Kugo's Astro Lance, which and shot out Trizer Beam and Astro Thunder, Belamis's electromagnetic sword had to be used at close range. This put Belamis at a big disadvantage when fighting with large monsters.

Belamis put this question to Dr. Kitty and was waiting for answers. She suited herself up, ready to go.

"Dr. Kitty sent back this after you asked how to enable your sword to attack from a distance." Princess Aurora handed her a computer data cartridge. Belamis looked at it, and put it in her jet's computer.

It showed a schematic diagram of her sword, and how to change it so that it could shoot out blasts of electromagnetic shock and blasts.

Belamis nodded, and said, "Yes.. I suspected a long while that this can be done..."

She made the changes onto her sword, and then pulled it out like before.

"You mean now you can shoot using your sword ?" Princess Aurora asked.

"Theoretically yes..." Belamis replied. "My sword skills is good at close range combat, but not an advantage when facing monsters like those we see now.... Kugo's Astro Lance is a more advanced weapon than mine."

"You fighting capability is indistinguishable from that of Kugo.. he's the most powerful cyborg in the Solar System.. I suspect... you are also the strongest at your star system." Princess Aurora remarked.

Belamis looked at Princess Aurora, and said, "This comes at a price..."

Then the alarm sounded.

Belamis rushed out, saying, "Take care of the old Queen."

She leaped onto her space bike, drew her sword and ready to fight.
