Chapter 37 - The collar of love and the planet of hunger
Kugo missed Belamis dearly. He stepped up his therapy and tried to gain strength.
Dr. Kitty told him, "You body needs time... don't force it..."
Kugo replied, "I wanted to get well, fully recovery as soon as possible.... Belamis is out there herself...."
Kugo could used his right arm well, his left arm was gaining strength. "I must keep this up..."
Kugo wished he could join Belamis, so that he and Belamis could fight alongside.
Meanwhile, Medora looked at Belamis as she pulled Starry Princess out at space. She looked at the collar round Belamis' neck.
Medora did not understand why the Gariusu guardians put it on Belamis' neck. It only caused Belamis misery and pain.
Dr. Kitty was at the transmission, and said, "The collar round Belamis' neck, was a sign of her vow to protect the person with Galaxy Energy. The former Queen at the Great Planet could have put one round Belamis' neck, but the Queen was nearing the end of her life so it did not happen.... A thousand years ago, one giantess, like Belamis, wore such a collar on her neck. This collar,when the giantess was unkind, abused her powers, of course the Queen would use it to punish her....."
"Belamis would never be unkind or use her powers in evil ways... then why does she have to wear it ?" Medora asked.
"So it seems.... you know.. Gariusu giantess were all kind beings..." Dr. Kitty added.
"Like Belamis, the giantess will risk all of herself to protect the Queen, and in this case Belamis will protect you even at the pain of death, like she tried with the old Queen...." Dr. Kitty recalled Princess Aurora's account of how Belamis wailed and cried when the old Queen died.
Dr. Kitty continued, "The Queen of the Great Planet will love the giantess deeply, and even to a point that she will drive the giantess away, trying to protect her from harm and torment. The guardians of Garriusu giantess has to ensure Galaxy Energy is protected, so they will not allow the giantess to leave the Queen. In the legend, this collar was made to keep the giantess with the Queen - in fact really, is to stop the Queen from driving the giantess away out of love. The Queen loved the giantess, she once tried to drive the giantess away by telling the giantess that the she hated her.... the giantess refused, and once the Queen tried to drive the giantess away, the collar will tighten round the giantess' neck, sending powerful electromagnetic blasts to torture the giantess, but she refused to leave the Queen, until a point the the collar cut deep to her neck, blood flowed out of her neck. The Queen will not be able to bring herself to drive her away as the giantess will be tortured."
Dr. Kitty stopped and paused, holding back her tears, as Medora began to cry too.
"... Same for you... you loved Belamis, and you rather her be away from you..... but if you even try to drive Belamis away, Belamis will be tormenetd by the collar, and she will not resist it. The pain is not just on her body... but her heart too...." Dr. Kitty continued.
"The other name of this collar is the collar of love..." Dr. Kitty continued, as she remembered the field of blood from the giantess, again it was about love.
"I cannot bear to see Belamis suffer..." Medora replied, in tears, "Is there no other way ?"
"It may sound like a cruel thing to do to Belamis, but to guard the Galaxy Energy, Belamis... no.. the giantess has to suffer...." Dr. Kitty added.
Medora looked at Belamis, and her heart ached, "Why does it have to be me... and Belamis ?"
Often Belamis would not rest,and kept pulling Starry Princess along. Medora walked out the deck, and said to Belamis, "Belamis...just rest for a day..."
Belamis slowly stopped, and turned to Medora. Her eyes radiated kindness, and she nodded.
"Belamis...." Medora saw her totally naked, not the same soldier in her suit, with her cape, helmet and sword, but one being with practically nothing but her body. Medora saw all the scars on her, and began to cry.
Belamis used her giant hand to dried Medora's tears. Even though Belamis could not talk, her tenderness was the same as she was in human form.
Belamis looked more innocent and pure, and she gently smiled at Medora. She could not talk, but expressed her emotions and feelings outwardly, not like the calm and cool captain who did not show her feelings.
"Belamis.... I wish ...you don't have to go through this..." Medora said.
Belamis listened, and her facial expression turned solemn. She looked at the heavens and signed.
"My loved ones... as well as yours... died because Galaxy Energy weakened..." Medora said.
Belamis looked at the stars, and tears rolled out of her eyes. She recalled of her mother's death, and uttered, "Ma...mo..ther..."
Medora remembered her mother's death too.
Belamis gently touched Medora, and hold Medora in her palms. Medora could feel her tenderness, even though she's a mighty giantess.
"Belamis..." Her love to Belamis changed from that of a girl loving a man to the kind of love that was beyond words.
Then Belamis turned and looked at a distant planet.
"What is it Belamis ?"
Belamis again let out a soft growl, and uttered, "...help them...."
Medora shut her eyes, and felt there were numerous people in pain there.
Medora knew Belamis was compassionate to people whose planets were affected when Galaxy Energy deterioriated, and Belamis again sensed there were people needing them.
"Belamis.... let's go.." Medora remarked. After her experience with the cold planet, Medora saw that she and Belamis could help, and she was determined to restore Galaxy Energy. She and Belamis both lost their loved ones.
Belamis nodded, then she placed Medora back to the craft, and started pulling it and heading to the planet.
The planet was a horribly dry land. Everywhere were dead plants. Belamis landed and placed the craft gently on the ground. Then the chains on her shackles detached from the craft and Belamis could walk further out and looked.
"Belamis, where are the people ?" Medora asked.
Belamis looked, and she picked up Medora, and walked with Medora in her palms.
Then they saw horrid scenes -- many dead people, all reduced to skeleton - apparently starved to death.
"All the food and vegetations were gone..." Medora said, her voice shook.
Then there was a stir, the people were hiding under caves away from the scorching wind.
Medora felt the heat too.
Belamis looked and people, all very skinny emerged.
"What happened ?" Medora asked.
"All the plants died.... all food were gone...." The adults came out, then children followed them....
The children appeared to be more healthy....
"We gave all of the what's left to the children first..." One older man said.
"Soon.... the children...will have to eat us...."
Medora gasped. Belamis looked at them, and muttered..."No..."
"What can we do ?"
At the transmitter, Dr. Kitty looked quite pessimistic, "The Galaxy Energy can only restore this planet's climate so that food and vegetation could grow... but those edible things needed time to grow... but with no food.... most people.. if not all, will already be starved to death by then..."
"Can Galaxy Union transport emergencty food aid here ?" Medora asked.
Dr. Kitty fell silent. The human bureaucracy was there and decision of emergency food aid would take months, and this planet was not their concern now.
"The food won't come..." Dr. Kitty said.
Belamis hearing this, made a roaring sound. Medora looked at Belamis, and said, "I am angry too..."
Belamis looked at the people, and also the children. The children reminded her of the orphanage, she felt a deep compassion to them.
Medora walked to Belamis, distraught, and said, "What can we do ?"
Belamis looked at the people, then she knelt down on her knees, and looked up to the skies.
Then there was sound, as though all muscles on Belamis' body was exerting together.
Tears rolled out of Belamis' eyes, then she growled.
"Belamis..." Medora saw Belamis appeared to be in pain, and was worried, "What is happening ?"
Then something white oozed out of her nipples, and dripped to the ground.
Belamis scooped them up - and handed to Medora. The white substance was thick, paste like, its texture was something between cream but there were some solid beads in it.
"...food..." Belamis said.
"What ???" Medora exclaimed.
Belamis hand those white paste to a woman, and she ate it...
"It is edible...it tastes good..." The woman exclaimed.
"Belamis...what is it you have done...?" Medora asked.
Belamis did not answer, and began exerting her body again, she looked as though she was agonizing as more of those white substance oozed out of her nipples, and she collected them with her hands and started to feed the people. The people came out in thousands, and they lined up, getting the white substances from Belamis hand.
Medora gasped, and got some of the substance, and ran back to the craft, had it analyzed and contacted Dr. Kitty.
Dr. Kitty analyzed the substance, and gasped at what she saw.
"What ?" Medora exclaimed.
"The white substance is some very nutritious, and could feed the people... Belamis ... she was turning her own muscles and tissues to this substance..." Dr. Kitty replied, tears rolling out of her eyes.
"You mean... you mean... Belamis is having her body eaten to save the people ?" Medora gasped, and broke into tears.
Yet, the hunger of the people appeared insatiable. Belamis was literally turning her body tissues to food, using her own energy.
"Medora, you have to use Galaxy Energy to restore the planet first... once the people have enough energy, they can start planting crops...." Dr. Kitty said.
Medora nodded. She went to Belamis' side, and said, "I will restore this planet first... you hang on!!"
Belamis nodded, her breasts oozing out the food, feeding the people, young and old.
Medora released Galaxy Energy, and the long release gradually turned the scorching planet to a warm and temperate place, and rain started to fall.
The people cheered.
Then Medora fell to the ground. This round of restoring Galaxy Energy was exhausting to her.
Belamis turned and touched Medora, and uttered, "Me..do..ra..."
Belamis was also very weak....she used her body to feed the people for a total of 10 days, and she used up a lot of her own life energy.
Then suddenly the collar round her neck glowed and tightened.. it was a signal to urge Belamis to help Medora, the bearer of Galaxy Energy. Belamis placed her palm on Medora and radiated her own energy out to restore Medora.
After that, Belamis was even more exhausted... she then turned back to the people, and starting to ooze out more nutrients from her nipple to feed hungry people, despite this was painful for her.
"Why are they still eating Belamis' milk ?" Medora wondered.
Then a hideous laughter sounded..."Hahahaaha.... I made the people hungry.... they would not stop until Belamis die..."
A tall being came out, "I am the demon of hunger..!!" Belamis roared at that monster, and tried to stand up - but she fell onto her knees again. She was severely weakened, both by giving her body to the people to eat, and after she restored Medora.
The monster raised its hands, and long claws sprang out, and it sank those claws into Belamis' breasts, and began to pull.
Belamis roared, and hold the monster's hands, and wrestle with it.
The people saw the giantess who gave her body to save them was in danger, and they yelled, "Stop!!! Don't harm her!" They picked up stones, spears and just about everything to hit the monster.
Belamis pulled the claws out of her breats, and fought the monster bravely, even though she was exhausted.
"Belamis!" Medora yelled, and she floated to Belamis and tried to give Galaxy Energy to her. The monster struck and hit Medora.
Belamis roared in anger, and caught Medora with her hands, then the monster charged Belamis, and its horns poked deeply into her body. Belamis clutched her teeth, and exerted her muscles, literally using her muscles hold the horns in her body. Then Belamis kicked the monster repeatedly, letting out loud roars.
The monster yelled in pain, before Belamis sent it a devastating kick, breaking its bones on the body.
Belamis then pulled the horns out and stabbed the monster with it, finishing it off.
Medora was severely injured. Belamis saw that and tears rolled out of her eyes.
"Belamis......" Medora gasped.
Belamis radiated out her life energy to save Medora....
Medora knew if Belamis did this, she would die... since Belamis already lost much of her life energy feeding the people and restoring her...
"Belamis... stop..." Medora said. Once those words were spoken, the collar round Belamis' neck tightened again and sent powerful electromagnetic blasts to Belamis, and Belamis endured the pain silently, and kept sending her own life energy to save Medora.
Upon seeing Belamis in pain, Medora wept, "Belamis...." She fell silent, and the collar stopped torturing Belamis.
"Me...do...ra.." Belamis uttered, as tears rolled out of her eyes.
"Belamis.... how long do you need to endure these pains?" Medora wondered.
Belamis radiated her life energy to Medora and restored her, and then Belamis collapsed and fell to the ground.
Medora sprang up, and ran to Belamis, placing her hands on Belamis face as Belamis lied face down.
"Belamis!! Belamis!!" Medora screamed. The people surrounded Belamis, and watched sadly, as this giantess saved them, and now fell before them.
Then was a soft growl from Belamis, and she struggled to stand up.
Then a ball of energy appeared, and took Belamis up, and the chains attached to the shackles on her hands and feet attached to Starry Princess, and Belamis was chained to the craft, hanging mid air.
"Belamis!!!" Medora shouted.
Belamis hanged on her limbs from the craft, blood dripping from her wounds. She looked at the people, there she still saw many were hungry...she again oozed out the white nutrients from her breasts again.
"No.... " The people exclaimed... "You will die!!!!"
Medora looked around, indeed the hungry people were many, and many still hadn't have food yet and were starving to death....
Dr. Kitty saw all that, and recalled again the legend - Gariusu giantess had the compassion and kind heart to sacrifice herself in many ways, one legend has it the giantess cut her own flesh to feed a planet of hungry people at a horrible famine that swept the planet... and Belamis was now "breast-feeding" these people, though what oozed out of her breasts were not milk.
Medora cried, and the people cried.
Medora prayed, and in her heart she said, "Please... please.... help Belamis.... she will die...."
Then a ball of energy emerged. The Gariusu guardians came.
"Belamis... the Gariusu giantess..... we will feed the people here..." Then food and vegetations grew from the ground....
Belamis smiled. The people cheered.
Medora wept in joy, and Belamis' chains detached, and she landed on the ground. Medora ran to Belamis, and touched her giant palms.
"Belamis....Belamis...." Medora was crying.
Belamis in tears, nodded gently. Her body covered in blood, and she hold Medora in her palms gently, and uttered, ".....Me...do...ra..."
Medora looked at Belamis, she saw the powers of love that Belamis was capable of. Medora was touched, but also felt sad.....
The people surrounded Belamis and Medora, and cheered in gratitude.
