ベラミス - her epic journey of her soul

Chapter 16 The death of the old Queen

With Dr. Kitty's new improvement on her sword, Belamis mounted her space bike and headed to the attacking monster.

"Let me try this..." Belamis thought. "Electro-bolt!" She exclaimed, and immediately a bolt of power electromagnetic blast out from the tip of her sword, shot towards the attacking monster, hitting and injuring it.

"Marvelous!" Belamis thought. She then steered her space bike away.

"Try this attack..." Belamis thought. "EM bullets!!" The sword sent out multiple bullet like blasts, hitting the monster.

With these improvement Belamis sword could attack from a distance, giving her an advantage.

"The last strike! EM thunder!" Belamis exclaimed, immediately a large bolt of lightning, containing high energy hit the monster, paralyzing it.

"Belamis, don't kill it!" Princess Aurora exclaimed.

Belamis nodded, and as she headed back, the monster suddenly let out a strong blast of energy, hitting Belamis' right arm.

"Arhh.." Belamis nearly fell from her space bike, and she tried to use her sword...

"...my arm... I cannot move my arm.." Belamis thought. Her right arm was severely hurt.

Princess Aurora screamed as the monster headed towards her and the old Queen.

Belamis hopped to her jet and started to fight with the weapons on it, attempting to drive away the monster.

The monster turned towards Belamis and hit her jet, sending Belamis jet to a nose dive, and Belamis barely able to stabilize it and landed the jet. She ran out to the monster, which was trying to harm the old Queen and Princess Aurora.

Belamis braved the pain of her arm and started to use her left hand on the sword, but the monster's tail strike her down.

"No..." Belamis thought... she saw the old Queen and Aurora in mortal danger, her forehead glowed again, and she transformed to the giantess.

Belamis roared, with her right arm bleeding, she moaned in pain. Then Belamis ran and used only her left arm and grab the monster by its tail and pulled it backwards.

"Belamis!" Princess Aurora exclaimed, "Let me use Galaxy Energy to turn that monster back to normal beast!"

Belamis nodded, and she used her body to try and pin down the monster, but the monster raised its paws and hit Belamis on her injured arm, Belamis groaned in pain, and she braved the pain and leaped up, delivering a strong kick to the monster, hitting it to the ground.

Then Belamis rushed forward and used only her left arm to press and pin down the monster.

Princess Aurora focused her Galaxy Energy and beamed it to the monster, soon turning it back to a normal beast, before Belamis let the monster off.

Then Belamis collapsed.

Belamis woke up, to find her right arm on a sling.

"Ahr..." She tried to move it, but it was painful.

"You mustn't move your arm now....." Princess Aurora said.

Belamis looked, and she took off the sling, and suited herself up.

"I have no time to rest..." She stood up.

"But you can't even use your sword!"

"Yes...." Belamis set her sword to her right side, then pull the sword out with her left hand. "I am good at both hands...."


"You mean you can use your left hand to weld the sword, as good as your right hand ?"

Belamis nodded, ".... a few years ago... my right arm was injured and could not move... for nearly a year.... I then practiced using my left hand on the sword intensely..."

Belamis recalled the event.

"Uncle Conan!! Aunt Rose!" Medora was helping Belamis, she was injured.

"What is it ?" General Conan asked with concern. He then saw Belamis' right arm got a dagger stabbed there, and the blood streaming out was black.

"Belamis... got into a fight with thugs... they stabbed her arm.... with a poisonous dagger..." Medora exclaimed.

Conan tore off the right sleeve of Belamis shirt, and there exposed the horrid wound.

Belamis said, "... it's.. my arm cannot move..."

"It's too far away to the main hospital..." Rose said.

"Even if we get there..." General Conan said, "..... we might not be able to save her arm....the poison progresses quickly and is eating her muscles..."

Medora cried, for Belamis was hurt because she tried to protect her from the thugs.

"The only method.. is to ... is to... cut that part of the muscle now..." General Conan said, and he drew his sharp dagger.

"What ?" Rose and Medora yelled.

"Yes.... cut away those muscles that were affected by the poison..."

"But there is no anesthesia..." Rose said.

"Father... go ahead..." Belamis said, braving the pain on her arm.

Rose immediately hugged Belamis tightly.

"Give me a handkerchef..." Belamis asked Medora. Medora took a handkerchief out, and handed to Belamis left hand. Belamis put the handkerchief to her mouth and bite it hard. Then she nodded to her father.

General Conan pulled the dagger out from Belamis' right arm then he grabbed her right arm, and laid his dagger on it. General Conan said softly, "Daughter.... hang on.."
He then cut onto Belamis arm, and moved the blade along. A large part of her tricep and bicep was sliced off... whilst Belamis endured the pain... so much muscle was cut from her upper right arm that some part of the wound was so deep that even exposed the bone of her arm.

Belamis then clutched her teeth, shaking intensely as she was rushed to the hospital.

After hours of surgery...

"Your daughter is really tough... how could one withstand such pain in cutting of the muscles like that..." The doctor emerged, and said with astonishment, ".... you saved her right arm, but that will take months to recover..."

General Conan replied, "Thanks..." Then he was in deep thought, "... Belamis indeed is the descendant of the giant race... otherwise not even a man can withstand such pain..."

For the next six months, Belamis forced herself to use the sword with her left arm, and trained night and day, almost refusing to rest. When her right arm healed, Belamis then exercised her right arm to regain the strength and agility, and she practiced using her sword on both hands ever since.

As Belamis recalled her story, only briefly mentioning her injury, leaving out the part her muscle was cut off, to Princess Aurora.

"But...you right arm is still wounded..." Said Princess Aurora.

"I will be careful..." Replied Belamis, as she headed out to patrol. She then stopped, and looked at the Princess, "Don't mention my injury to the old Queen..." They were at separate quarters, far away from where the old Queen was resting.

However, the old Queen was listening in, hiding behind the window.

"Belamis..." The old Queen thought.

Then another alarm sounded. This time there were at least eight of them flying, in all shapes.

Belamis leaped to her space bike and headed out to the monster.

Belamis fought using her left hand, and was mindful not to stress her injured right arm. Yet that severely limited her movements.

"Damn.... if only... I can use my right arm..." Belamis thought. She then shot out EM-bullets to the monsters, some of them spread out.

Belamis then shot out EM_thunder to one monster, hitting it down. The others started to head to the Palace. Belamis charged the leading one, and leaped from her jet, but one other monster weld its tail and hit her right arm.

"Arhh..." Belamis braved her pain and weld her sword against another monster, yet the eight of them could still fight. One shot a blast of flame at Belamis knocking her space bike down. Belamis fell to the ground, then a gigantic elephant like one stomped on her.

"Belamis!!" The old Queen and the Princess yelled!

Then in a bright glow, Belamis turned into her giantess form, and pushed away the large monster.

Then she felt a cutting pain on her right arm. Belamis ignored the pain and leaped up, catching one monster and pulled it onto the ground, she then punch its head, wrecking the horn and cracked its skull.

Then two others charged at her, one of them use its horns and poked through Belamis right shoulder. Belamis roared and threw the monster to the ground. Then she kicked the other monster.

Yet Belamis was overwhelmed, one after another attacked, and Belamis hold them back and tried to subdue them.

Then suddenly one giant spider spitted its web and wrapped Belamis in a tight web.

Belamis roared and tried to break free.... one monster changed and its horn poked Belamis body.

"No... I have to transfer the Galaxy Energy to her...!" The old Queen thought. She looked and saw the scepter. She grabbed it.

"No... don't go!!" Princess Aurora exclaimed.

The old Queen pointed the scepter at her and trapped her in a ball of energy. Then the old Queen hopped on a shuttle and flew towards Belamis.

The monsters surrounded Belamis, each firing their weapons at her, and Belamis moaned in pain. Then Belamis saw the old Queen coming...

"No..." Belamis thought, and she tried to struggle even harder, then she broke free, and kicked the monsters. Belamis leaped up and caught the shuttle in her hands, and she looked at the old Queen, and she shook her head, placed the shuttle far away.

Then Belamis thought, "I have to be able to stop all of them..."

She remembered she was able to destroy the entire fleet of Golinkor with one blast, but could she do it now?

Then she thought, almost like a prayer..." Please... all the energy in the cosmos..... gather in my body..."

Then she felt energy flowing in her...she held her hands close together, there was a small glow...an as the energy gathered in her, she felt an enormous pain rushing through her body...

"Arhh...." She moaned as she endured the pain. "Come... all the energy.. help me..."

The glow between her hands enlarge to a larger ball of light.... then it grew larger and larger, and Belamis let out a loud cry, pushing the ball of energy to the monsters....

In a single large ball of light, the monsters were annihilated ....

Then Belamis fell to the ground. This blast of energy used up a large part of her own life energy.

"Belamis..." The old Queen rushed to her... "...she is dying..." She sensed Belamis' rapid falling of life energy. Belamis then turned back to her human form.

Slowly, the old Queen lay her hands on Belamis breast and chest, and said, "Child.... I love you.." She radiated her very last bit of Galaxy Energy to Belamis...

As Belamis regained conscience, she saw the old Queen.

"No!!" Belamis got up, and the old Queen looked at her, she suddenly looked a lot older...
"Belamis.... I will be with you ..." Then the old Queen collapsed.

Belamis hold her in her arms, and said, "No... no...." She tried to use her life energy to save her.. suddenly the scepter moved by itself and shot out the energy field and subdue Belamis again.

"No!!!" Belamis yelled, trying to struggle free.

The old Queen opened her eyes... and said softly, "Belamis... the scepter sensed that I have transferred all my Galaxy Energy to you.. it will not allow you to return that to me... I am dying... but I died in peace .. as well as with joy... of having met and loved a soul like you..."

"No!!! You are not going to die!!" Belamis shouted, as she saw the old Queen was about to die, Belamis wanted to save her even on pain of death, it triggered her to change to her giantess form again...and she roared and struggle.

Yet this time the energy field was many times stronger than before, even Belamis struggled with all her might she could not break free... tears rolled out of Belamis eyes as she wailed with deep sorrow....

"Belamis..... don't cry... don't struggle..." The old Queen suddenly levitated towards Belamis, and the energy field just dropped. Belamis was on her knees, crying. The old Queen levitated towards Belamis face and touched her face, saying, "... I will live in you forever..." Then she transformed to a ball of energy, flew to her left chest and entered Belamis body.

Belamis saw that...and was stunned.... then after a few moments...she wailed in deep sorrow and pain.... eyes streaming out tears...

Princess Aurora was freed from the ball of energy and ran towards Belamis, and looked at her who was now wailing loudly.

"Belamis..."
