ベラミス - The Blue Snow story - her love adventure (6)

Chapter 6 The horrible beasts

Blue Snow was surrounded by four strange beasts. They kind of looked like large lizards but they stood on two legs, had large mouth full of sharp teeth, and the front limbs had long claws, and each standing at least 7 feet tall.

Kugo followed to the spot and found Blue Snow battling them by herself.

"Bel..la.. Blue Snow!!" Kugo yelled.

Blue Snow leaped up and sank her sword on one of the beasts head.

Then one came trying to attack Blue Snow with its claws. Blue Snow dodged just in time, and stabbed that beast's belly.

Kugo jumped in and welded his stick and hit one beasts and knocking it to a tree.

"Kugo!!!" Blue Snow yelled.

One beasts lashed its large tail and hit Kugo.

Then it opened its large mouth and tried to snap at Kugo. Kugo welded his stick to block it, but the beasts just bit the stick and crushed it.

"Gosh.." Kugo gasped.

Then a shadow came leaping to Kugo, shielding him as the beast use its claws to attack Kugo.

Kugo found himself in the arms of Blue Snow, and she hold him and ran to a spot, just in time to get away from the beasts.

"Stay here!" Blue Snow said, as she turned quickly and back to the battle.

Kugo just came around and realized what happened. Then Kugo felt something wet on his face. Kugo wiped it - it was blood!

Then Kugo saw Blue Snow welding her sword at the two large beasts, and the third one wounded, was also closing in on her - and Blue Snow's back was bleeding.

"No!!" Kugo cried, he turned and found a spear, and he ran to the battle.

Blue Snow braved her wounds and kept avoiding the claws and teeth of the beasts.

Then Kugo used the spear and stabbed on beast.

As Kugo was fighing one of the beast, another one was sneaking behind to Kugo.

The beast jump but Blue Snow stopped it, and stabbed it with her sword, but the beast turned, and sank its claws into Blue Snow left chest and shoulder.

Blue Snow pushed the sword deeper, and killed the beast.

Kugo saw it, and Blue Snow smiled at Kugo, before she fell down.

They killed three beasts, and the other two left.

"Be...Blue Snow!!" Kugo caught Blue Snow in his arms, and he remembered - it was like when he caught Belamis in his arms after she was severely wounded when she first transformed to the giantess.

The rest of the tribe came, and helped Kugo and Blue Snow.

Kugo carried Blue Snow in his arms back to her home.

"Blue Snow!!!" Penelie, Blue Snow's mother came, and she struggled on her clutch.

"Take her inside the hut..." Penelie said.

Mimi and Toto came, and gasped. Idina cried as she saw Blue Snow bleeding.

"Get some clothes...and the herbs!!" Penelie said.

Blue Snow was conscious, and said, "Mother....I am OK..."

"Don't move..." Penelie gently spoke, as she cleaned Blue Snow's wounds.

"Kugo, can you get some water and boil it ?" Penelie said.

"Got it.." Kugo replied.

The family worked to tend Blue Snow's wounds.

Penelie gently wiped the dirt off Blue Snow's body.

"It will sting a bit..." Penelie said, as she squeezed the juice from the herbs, and pour them onto the wounds of Blue Snow.

"Arrhh" Blue Snow groaned softly.

"Hold her arms..." Penelie said to Kugo, as she bandaged Blue Snow.

After finshing bandaging, Blue Snow lied down, and looked at Nako, "I am wounded too.." Blue Snow touched Nako, as she purred. Blue Snow saw Idina crying, and spoke gently, "Little one.. I am OK..."

"I will stay here with you..." Kugo said.

Blue Snow nodded, and she fell asleep in the arms of Kugo. Kugo gently kissed her cheek.

Then at daybreak, Kugo woke up, and found Blue Snow gone.

"Where did she go ??" Kugo got up and look for Blue Snow. Idina was awaken, and babbled, "Be..la..mis..."

"Yeah.... she's Belamis... same tough girl.. Let's go and find her..."

Idina nodded.

Then Kugo carried Idina in his arms and went out. He found Blue Snow carrying her spear and sword, and walking around, still in her bandages.

"You shouldn't walk around!" Kugo said.

Blue Snow turned, and smiled, "These wounds are just minor... arrhhh"

"They need time to heal..." Kugo said, as he helped Blue Snow sat down.

"You worried about  me little one?" Blue Snow smiled as she touched Idina gently.

Idina nodded. Then Idina went to Blue Snow's back.

"What are you doing ?" Blue Snow smiled.

Idina touched Blue Snow with her little hands. Without Blue Snow realizing it, Idina used Galaxy Energy to heal Blue Snow's wounds.

Blue Snow remarked, ".... funny...the wounds are not hurting so bad now..." She picked up Idina and said, "Don't run around .... we have fierce predators in the woods..."

Blue Snow stood up holding Idina in her arms,  and she found she also gained strength.

Kugo watched all this, and felt sad.

"Why not you rest for the day... I can take up to patrol the village..." Kugo said.

"I have to go back and check again..." Blue Snow said.

They walked to the part of the woods that they battle the beasts on the previous night.

"Where's the carcasses ???" Blue Snow exclaimed.

"They are all gone!!" Kugo also was very shocked.

They killed three of the reptilian like beasts, but they saw no carcasses.

"It is impossible!!" Blue Snow looked around, "even if other predators or scavengers came and ate them... there should be some parts left ! They can't be completely gone without a trace!"

All of the beasts that Kugo and Blue Snow killed were gone....not a trace, except the blood stains.

"It does not make any sense..." Blue Snow said.

"Let's head back to the village first..." Kugo said, having a bad feeling in his heart.

Blue Snow nodded.

The men gathered.

"Captain, you should rest... we can do the patrol..." The men said.

"I am alright. How's the other men that were injured ?" Blue Snow replied.

"No worries, they are only slightly injured..."

Blue Snow thought for a moment, and said, "We have to set up some kind of tripwires..."

"Tripwires ?" The men said. Kugo was also curious.

"Yes.... an early warning system" Blue Snow replied, "Gather some fine ropes and strings... weave them up if we don't have enough..."

Kugo thought to himself, "Belamis is still as clever and coolheaded ...even she cannot remember me..."

As the men went around setting up the trip wires, Kugo went back to his craft and contacted Earth.

"The kind of beast you desribed.... is it something like this ?" Dr. Joey showed a picture of a raptor.

"Yes!!! It is this kind of animal!" Kugo replied.

"That is totally impossible..." Dr. Kitty exclaimed.

"Why ?" Kugo replied.

"Kugo, the animal Dr. Joey showed you is an extinct animal on Earth... what is it doing on that far out planet where you are sitting at..." Medora said.

"You mean... these beasts.. are not native ?" Kugo said.

"No.... they are not..." Dr. Kitty said.

"Belamis is wounded... fortunately its not serious..." Kugo said.

"Kugo, just be alert..." Dr. Kitty said.

"I know..."

Kugo returned to the village, and Blue Snow was working with the men in setting up tripwires.

Blue Snow poked them with the pole on her spear, and then it trigger a series of hollow shells to bang on each other, making a clearly sound.

"This will alert us..." Blue Snow smiled.

"You need to rest .." Kugo said.

Then they heard a soft growl, it's Nako.

Idina was riding on Nako - she also healed Nako.

"You are well!" Blue Snow happily exclaimed, and hugged the big cat.

"Now we have another powerful fighter with us..." Blue Snow said.

Nako growled.

"Nako, we need you to guard the village, if you spotted anything, came back to us, and warn us. Don't fight those beasts... they will come in numbers..." Blue Snow said. Nako meowed, as though she understood.

Then Blue Snow stood up, and spoke in a loud voice, "All of you... rest now.... there's a long night ahread!"

The men replied "Yes..."

"Let's head home.." Blue Snow said to Kugo.

Kugo said, "And you should rest..."

"I cannot....I am the warrior ..." Blue Snow smiled, and shook her head.

"Still so stubborn.." Kugo smiled.

"What ?" Blue Snow asked.

"No..nothing... let's go..." Kugo said.

The pair walked with Nako following. Then Kugo found Blue Snow holding his hand.

Kugo's heart felt warm.

"Let's just take a walk first..." Blue Snow said, "Nako.. you go home first..."

Nako meowed and ran back home herself.

Blue Snow and Kugo just walked around the village aimlessly.

"I don't know.. but hanging around with you... makes me happy..." Blue Snow said.

Then a small girl ran and fell... she cried.

Blue Snow scramled to her and pick her up, "Are you hurt ?"

Kugo helped and made funny faces. The girl laughed.

Blue Snow laughed too, "Go home... back to your mother.." The girl smiled and went away.

Kugo looked at Blue Snow as she knelt down. Kugo put his hands on Blue Snow's shoulder, and said, "I enjoy hanging around with you too.."

"When you teased me.. calling me a kid... I did feel pissed off..." Blue Snow said, "...but you are actually cute..." She smiled.

Kugo remembered it was the same as their first encounter, and signed. Yet the thing now was that, Kugo met Belamis as "Blue Snow".

Then there was a loud clanging sound of the shells.

Nako came jumping to them.

"They are here again!" Blue Snow grabbed her sword and spear.

"Blue Snow!" Kugo yelled. He grabbed a spear.

Blue Snow ran ahead, with Nako following her.

The men were already in high alert, gathering with their weapons.

"We trapped one of them!!!" Kaydo said.

They dug a deep hole and the beast fell into it.

"Stay clear..." Blue Snow said.

"No worries...it's trapped.." Smiled Kaydo, as he walked to the edge of the hole.

Then suddenly the raptor leaped up.

The people screamed.

Then two spears stabbed the raptor. It was Blue Snow and Kugo attacking together.

"Step back!" Blue Snow shouted.

The raptor was injured but not dead, and it growled.

Nako leaped and bit its back. The raptor tried to shake her off.

Blue Snow pulled her sword, and shouted, "Nako, pull back!" Nako growled and leaped away.

Blue Snow faced the raptor fearlessly.

"Kaydo, check if there are any coming!" Blue Snow said.

"Yes..." Kaydo led a band of men.

"Blue Snow... let me help!!" Kugo said.

"No! I will face it myself!" Blue Snow said.

"Don't be stubborn!"

The raptor jumped at Blue Snow. Blue Snow dodged and stabbed the raptor at its chest.

The raptor wriggled and Blue Snow lost grip of her sword.

"Catch!" Kugo threw her another spear.

Blue Snow rolled aside and grabbed the spear.

The raptor snarled at Blue Snow, and leaped at her. Blue Snow leaped up and used the spear and impaled its head, finally finishing it off.

Blue Snow breathed heavily.

"No!!!" Kugo gasped, he saw the bandages on Blue Snow soaked in blood... it reminded him that horrid night he saw Belamis body in blood.

Blue Snow fell into Kugo's arms, and Kugo was crying.

"Why... are..you crying ?" Blue Snow smiled, and gently wiped the tears off Kugo's eyes.

"No... I ..." Kugo stuttered.

"Just...torn some of my wounds..." Blue Snow said softly.

Kugo hold Blue Snow tight, and said, "Let's head home.."

Blue Snow nodded, and she wrapped her arms round Kugo's neck and shoulder.

Kugo gently picked Blue Snow up, and he smelled the scent on Blue Snow's hair.

Kugo carried Blue Snow home.

"....is it a silly thought.... I wanted you to carry me like this forever.." Blue Snow said.

"No... not at all.."Kugo spoke gently.

They went home in the setting sun.
