ベラミス - her epic journey of her soul

Chapter 70  Belamis' pursuit to find the cure to heal Dr. Kitty

Belamis kept thinking of the night she browsed through the files to check for the words Qualone and Avici. She dwelt in the documents on Qualone more on Avici.

As she read the information her heart ached, "No... it cannot be... Dr. Kitty cannot die.."

Belamis raced in the space, and tears rolled out of her blue eyes.

Each and every document she found, she read only one thing, "The rare Qualone radiation had no cure. Once exposed to it the person had only up to 10 days to live."

It was the third day after she and Dr. Kitty returned to Earth and Belamis found out it.

Belamis hit upon an ancient document, from a planet long destroyed, much earlier than Gariusu. She read the cryptic message again and again.

Then suddenly all of the previous omens, the  baby boy Ben's warning and sounds of the wind was clear....

"Belamis... don't try to rescue Dr. Kitty.... you will put yourself in great danger..."

"Your adversaries have found ways to harm you....they will not spare you..."

"The cure is illusive... you might not find it... even if you get yourself killed in the process...."

"You will die trying to save Dr. Kitty..."

These are the voices she heard.. in her bad dreams...as well as the message little Ben gave her... Belamis saw Dr. Kitty dying as well as herself being tortured.

Belamis remembered the pal of Idina, little Ben, the baby boy she encountered.

"Be..la..mis.. don't go.... you will ...hurt.." Belamis remembered little Ben saying to her.

"You... will...hurt..bad..." Little Ben told her.

Belamis remembered telling him she's not afraid.

"I am not afraid..." Belamis said again.

Belamis recalled what she read about Qualone. Dr. Kitty was being exposed to it when Goluk put the small crystal at her.

"No!!! I am not going to let it happen!" Belamis thought to herself.

Then as she raced across space, balls of lights appeared.

"Belamis, stop..." The guardians of Gariusu giantess was in front of her, stopping her.

"No...." Belamis stubbornly replied.

Then a ball of energy engulfed her, locking her up.

"Let me go!!!" Belamis yelled and in a roar, Belamis turned into the giantess.

"Don't fight...." The guardians said.

Belamis roared and tried to break free.

"Belamis... don't struggle...give up... your duty is to guard the Galaxy...not an individual..."

Belamis roared....then a pain tore through her body... the same kind of pain she experienced... like hot knives cutting her body...like hot larva scotching her... and like her muscles were ripping apart... but only many times more painful.....

"It's Avici..." The guardians said, and the energy field dropped.

Belamis rolled on the ground in pain, and growled.... then multiple wounds on her body opened up... from all her old wounds.... and she was bleeding.

Then the pain took a twist .... there were sensation like blasts of electricity went through her body...

Belamis shook in pain...and in about 20 minutes... the pains ebbed. Belamis body was bleeding all over.

"It is the third strike you experienced...." The guardians said.

Belamis breathed heavily....and she returned to human form.

Then Belamis struggled to get up...and she knelt before the guardians.

"Please....... help me.... to get the healing crystal to save Dr. Kitty..." Belamis begged on her knees, and she was in tears.

"Belamis.... we cannot promise you...." The guardians replied.

Belamis looked at the guardians, and she replied, "I am begging you....I am not afraid of whatever hardships... "

"Belamis...." The guardians replied, "There is no way we can promise... except... we'd try our best to guide you..."

Belamis replied, "That's...all I needed..."

Belamis then leaped into space and raced forward to the darkest ends of the cosmos....

There it was immense pressure..... and strong pulls, plus horrid destructive energies.... a Black Hole...

Belamis stayed afar, and looked at the sight before her.

"Beyond ...the darkest...." Belamis located this spot of the most immense black holes known....

The guardians for Gariusu giantess was there with Belamis.

"If you make any wrong moves....you'd be torn apart..." They said.

Belamis took a deep breath, and said, "I have experienced at least three times my body being torn apart..."

Then Belamis raced forward.....

Belamis turned into her giantess form, and raced along space.

"You are nearing what scientists called the Event Horizon... move carefully...and you would arrive at another world...where the cure might be...." The guardians told Belamis.

Belamis nodded, and proceeded. She felt the immense pull and pressure on her, then suddenly... the pain attacked her body.

Belamis roared in pain, and cluctched her teeth to endure the horrid pain ripping through her.

Then she accelerated and moved even more swiftly.

"Belamis is charging right into the Black Hole!" The guardians said.

"Beyond the darkest..." Belamis thought to herself...

Then the fourth pain attack... it was so painful to Belamis that she fainted.

Belamis gradually woke up from a coma....she sprang up - she was in human form. Her body was full of wounds, and painful.

Belamis looked around, she was at a strange planet, and a large structure of rock and crystal was before her.

Belamis got up, and walked slowly towards that structure.

"Stop it right there!" A voice commanded.

Belamis turned, and a tall being with a sword was talking to her.

"I come...for the Teardrop of Hope..." Belamis said.

"I know... " The being walked towards Belamis.

Then six other beings, each in different glow and color appeared. They all carried a sword.

Belamis looked at them, "I come ... to try and save someone I loved..."

"We have heard it many times.... people came here to get this powerful substance for their own ambition.. you are no exception..." One man said, as he raised the sword and attacked Belamis.

Belamis dodged and said, "I am telling the truth!"

She could sense these people were not evil, so she wouldn't attack them.

"Please ... I have to hurry..." Belamis said.

The beings surrounded Belamis, and Belamis knew she had to defend herself.

They raised their swords which Belamis dodged and Belamis returned attack with her bare hands.

Belamis kicked one of them down, and tossed one of them away.

"You are a warrior..." The one that first spoke to Belamis again said. This one obviously was the leader among the beings.

"Take this sword and fight with me..." The leader said.

"No...... I come for the Teardrop of Hope..." Belamis said.

"You must defeat all of us before you can even get close ..." The leader said.

Belamis took the sword, and hold it up.

The seven swordsmen surrounded Belamis. Belamis returned attack and strike the sword of one of them to the ground. The sword just returned to the man's hand like it's was attracted by magnet.

"You have to attack us with your sword!" The leader said.

Belamis bit her lips, and used her sword fighting skill.

The leader and the beings were impressed by Belamis moves.

"You are a swordsman too..." The leader said.

Belamis said nothing, and she struck, and used the sword and cut a wound on of the men's arm.

The wound healed immediately and the man attack Belamis. The sword stabbed Belamis at her ribs, and Belamis groaned.

Belamis raised her sword and cut the hand off from another, but the hand reattached back and the man was unharmed.

"I cannot won..." Belamis thought, "They are literally immortal......but I must not give up!!!"

Belamis then yelled and she let out her electromagnetic blasts. The seven beings retreated.

As soon as Belamis used her energy blasts, another attack of the pain occurred. Belamis rolled on the ground in horrid pain.

.................

Idina cried.

"What is it ?" Medora picked up the baby.

"It's Belamis in pain..." Medora connected her mind with the baby.

Nick and Kugo asked, "Can you tell from what Idina felt ?"

Dr. Joey also added, "Perhaps we might be able to find Belamis..."

Medora concentrated, and then she screamed.

Nick caught Medora in his arms, and said, "What is it ???"

"Belamis....was hurting...." Medora cried.

"We must hurry..."

Dr. Joey steered the ship to the direction where Idina pointed at.

.....................

The seven beings stopped attacking Belamis.

The leader looked at Belamis, bleeding all over. Wounds on Belamis body just opened up as she endured the pain on her body.

"You are already wounded before you arrived..." The leader said. The seven beings put away their swords.

"Go away.... we cannot let you have the Teardrop of Hope... but we will not attack you. You are a warrior of love... we respect you" The leader said.

"I am not going away empty handed..." Belamis stood up, and replied firmly.

Belamis walked to the structure.

"Turn back... " The leader stood before Belamis.

"No..." Belamis said, and she walked on. The leader pulled out the sword.

"We have the duty to guard the Teardrop of Hope.... we cannot let you take it..." The leader said.

"I am going to take it..." Belamis said with determination.

Then a voice spoke, "You are the Gariusu giantess warrior..."

"Our master... we cannot let her through..." The leader said.

"Her body is now suffering from Avici..." The voice said.

Belamis looked above.

"The Teardrop can heal your body..."

Belamis bowed her head, and said, "...but it can only be used on one person..."

"Yes... one it was used... it would become an ordinary stone..."

"We can give you that.... provided you prove to us your courage..."


Belamis looked into the entrance of the structure, and saw that crystal - shaped like a tear drop, size just fit into a palm.

"What proof ?" Belamis asked.

"Stand still..." The master said, "...and raise your arms... "

The seven beings  surrounded Belamis and raised their swords. Belamis raised her arms.

Belamis was surrounded, and in an instant, the seven swords pierced into her body.

"The swords were stabbed into seven points on your body that would deliver pain all over you..." The master said, "The Teardrop can only be given to the most brave and compassionate warrior..."

Belamis looked - her chest, the two side of her ribs, her underarms - the swords sunk only two inches into her flesh. Then the seventh sword into her abdomen.

Belamis body shook.

Then the fit of pain attacked ... Belamis body shook, and she clutched her teeth.

The master looked, and said, "..... the pain you experience is adding up..."

Belamis made no sound.

The leader of the seven said, "...I have never seen such a brave soul like you..." He pulled out the sword from Belamis' body. The other six followed.

Belamis fell to the ground. She struggled up, and walked into the structure.

She took the crystal - the Teardrop and hold it in her hands - this was the one that contained the powers to heal.

"Gariusu giantess...." The master said.

Belamis turned, and her body was bleeding.

"I don't have enough powers to heal you..... but hope this helps..." The master said, then a ball of light engulfed Belamis - the wounds on her body closed. Belamis felt a renewal of strength in her.

"Thank you..." Belamis knelt down.

"You know... there is huge amount of the Avici in your body - all concentrated at your muscles...you already have a number of such seizures and you know how painful it is..."

Belamis looked at the crystal in her hands - then she remembered Dr .Kitty.

"I know... but I will used it to save ... to save someone ...she's as important to me as my mother.." Belamis replied in a calm voice.

"Are you sure you are going to use this crystal on another person ?" The voice asked.

Belamis mind raced and all the memories of her mother's death surfaced - Belamis was determined to save Dr. Kitty no matter what.

Belamis nodded, and said "I am not afraid .... " Belamis replied, as she hold the crystal in her hands.

"Put it round your neck, so that you won't drop it..." The leader said, as he helped attached a necklace to the crystal, and put it round Belamis' neck.

The leader turned into a man, and he touched Belamis face gently, "The beauty of you...comes from your brave soul...." He then patted Belamis' shoulder. "Good luck..."

Belamis nodded, and she looked to the heavens - an opening appeared in the skies - the gateway back to the Galaxy.

"Go that way and return to your world..." The leader said.

Belamis leaped and jumped into the opening....
