ベラミス - her epic journey of her soul

Chapter 23 Th fierce battle (2)

Belamis waved her space sword to release the energy she absorbed, and a gigantic tidal wave like energy rushed to the enemy Golinkor battleships. Belamis felt a pain ripped through her, and for a moment she felt she was going to die.

Then a series of explosion occurred, Belamis struggled to remain standing.

Crew at Galaxy Warrior watched anxiously, and saw majority of the enemy battleship were destroyed.

The whole control room yelled in excitement. The Greg shouted, "Look!!! ... Space.. space monster!"

Belamis also saw them, at least 20 of them, in all shapes. "They used the disturbance of Galaxy energy to create them...."

Medora was at the control room, and saw that.

"Belamis would be killed.... she had exhausted all her energy..." Admiral Yautsin said. "Get her back!"

"No.... I have to fight the space monsters..." Belamis replied.

"Sir...." Medora spoke softly to Admiral Yautsin.

"What is it ?"

"I... I can help Belamis..... she is a Gariusu giantess.... she was the warrior to guard the Galaxy.... I can help her..."

"You ?"

"I.... I have Galaxy energy...."

Belamis breathed heavily.... she found it hard to even raise her arms.... the space sword hurricane drained nearly all of her life energy... Belamis hold on solely by her willpower, and she found she could not even see clearly.

"No..." Belamis thought， "I... I... have to change to giantess form..."


Yet this change was not controllable by Belamis.

Then a small craft headed to her, escorted by a number of fighters...

Belamis saw in the craft soldiers and among the people Medora.

"Medora ?" Belamis exclaimed.

The craft stopped by Belamis side, and the other space fighters were heading to the space monsters.

"Belamis... I have to do this.." Medora said. Then a surge of Galaxy energy streamed towards Belamis, and Belamis felt her strength was restored.

Then Medora held up the scepter, and said, "Belamis..."

Belamis nodded.

A beam from the scepter fired at Belamis forehead. Belamis leaped out of her jet and let out a loud cry, and transformed into the giantess.

Belamis flexed her strong muscles, and roared. The people in the space craft and fighters near Belamis watched in total amazement.

In space, Belamis in giantess form was floating, Belamis roared, and then a field formed on her feet, she stepped on it like a stepping stone and leaped with all her might to the space monsters.

The crew at Galaxy Union fleet saw the giantess, and were stunned.

Admiral Yautsin looked, and said, "... our warrior giantess...."

Belamis roared as she raced to the space monsters, grabbing them by her bare hands and fighting them.

"Help Belamis!" Yautsin commanded.

The remaining battleships and space fighters of the Galaxy Union force fired at the space monsters.

At the same time, Golinkor fleet still had a number of battleships that could fight, they fired at Galaxy Union fleet.

Belamis was surrounded by the space monsters, and the monsters used their claws, sharp teeth, sharp horns to maim and hurt Belamis. The monsters fired flames and energy beams at Belamis, and Belamis was hit. Yet Belamis was unafraid, her body bleeding with multiple wounds, but she fought bravely, roaring loudly and hurling her kicks and punches, and knocking their horns off.

The space squadrons watched, and one pilot said, "..... our captain... she is fighting with her own naked body!!! Help her!!!"

All those who were once members of Lacets and Guima legion were loyal to Belamis. Belamis were kind to them, and they admired Belamis. They fired at the monsters. Those already fired all their weapons steered their fighter and crashed onto the monsters... blowing themselves up.

Belamis saw that, and in her giantess voice, muttered... "no.... no..." and she shook her head.

One space fighter flew to Belamis, and the pilot said, "... Captain..... you are not just our captain, but the guardian of the Galaxy.... we are honored to fight alongside with you.." The pilot flew his space fighter to one monster and blew up the space fighter, injuring the monster severely.

Belamis roared and tears streamed out her eyes, she then used her only weapon as the giantess -- releasing a powerful surge of energy to the space monsters surrounding her....

In a huge glow, the space monsters were all burnt and electrocuted. Belamis breathed heavily, body bleeding, and the space craft carrying Medora raced to Belamis, Medora hold up the scepter, and turned Belamis back to human form.

The battle was indeed a very gruesome one. The Golinkor fleet was destroyed, but Galaxy Union fleet suffered great loss. The 200 member space squadron had only 43 survivors. Lt. Loken died. Out of the 12 battleships of Galaxy Union, 6 were destroyed, 3 were severely damaged, Galaxy Warrior the flagship and 2 others sustained damage.

Belamis was severely injured, and Dr. Joey was tending her, with Medora at her side.

Dr. Joey looked at the scepter, and asked, "You mean.... this scepter can turn Belamis to the giantess...?"

Medora nodded, "... yes... if the one using it ... could amplify Galaxy energy..."

Dr. Joey replied, "I see..."

Belamis gradually regained consciousness, and saw Medora. Belamis hugged her, and looked at Dr. Joey, and said, "Thank you..."

Dr. Joey shook her head and said, "....no worries... I have to take care of other wounded soldiers..."

Belamis looked at Medora, and said, "....it turns out that you did the right thing following me.... I might not be able to transform to the giantess..."

Belamis body was in bandages, and she wanted to get up.

"No...." Medora said.

Belamis looked at Medora gently, and said, "This is a war now..."

Belamis stood up, Medora helped her up. Belamis put on her suit, and went to Admiral Yautsin's room.

"Sir.." Belamis saluted Yautsin.


"Belamis.... this was the worst scenario.... we lost a large part of our forces.... and it seems that Golinkor still had more battleships..." Yautsin remarked.

"....the cancer progressed.... soon I would not even be able to get up from the bed.... or even stay conscious..." Yautsin said.

Belamis looked at him, and said, "....I....I..."

"I appoint you to be the captain of Galaxy Warrior, in my place..." Yautsin said.

"I..." Belamis stuttered and was uneasy about this..

"Colonel Belamis.... you have the courage, talent, leadership...and the loyalty of the troops... you are the finest commander I ever saw..." Yautsin said, "... plus... your giantess form...."

Belamis replied, "I will accomplish the mission..."

Belamis walked out Yautsin's room and went to the main command room, and took Yautsin's Captain's seat.

The crew looked at her, Belamis said, "... Admiral Yautsin ... is unable to continue his duty as captain of this ship....he appointed me to be the Captain..."

The crew in the room saluted to her.

"We have only three battleships that could go on ..." Belamis replied, "Galaxy Union reinforcement would be days away. If we encounter Golinkor forces before reinforcement arrives, we will be in deep trouble."

"I have to be honest with you all, that might mean we will all die..." Belamis said.

"Captain.... we are with you..." Lester said.

The whole crew responded, "We are not afraid."

Belamis said, "Thank you...all of you..."

The Galaxy Union, along with 2 other ships which could still fight continued. They met head on with two Golinkor fleets.

The Golinkor commander was President Gulok. He was also the chief commander of Golinkor army. He got the latest situation.

"That cyborg warrior... what's the name again ?"

"Belamis... she's from Gariusu, we found out that she is also the legendary Gariusu giantess warrior. She is an ace space fighter pilot, a soldier.... our forces met her a number of times... she possessed super-human powers..."

Gulok hit the table in anger, and yelled, "...we must kill her!"

His cabinet were members of his family. The prime minister, the General were his own brothers. Golinkor was ruled by Gulok's dictatorship. They wanted to expand their empire.

"We lost two main armada....we only have one single fleet with our flagship". General Maka replied.

Gulok said, "That will be enough.... and I want that cyborg dead!" He hurled his dagger to the wall.

Belamis was not resting at all, she stayed up, overseeing the battleships.

"A transmission from Galaxy Union..." Greg said.

"Belamis!" At the other end was Jan Kugo.

Belamis saw Kugo's face and heard his voice, and her heart felt very warm. She replied, "Kugo... you are coming ?"

"Belamis, all of the forces will join you.... to the final battle with Golinkor... and I want to see you.."

Belamis felt sweet, but she was the Captain, so she gave a straight face, and said, "We will wait for you."

Kugo took the hint, and responded, "Captain Belamis, ETA of our force arrival, 32 hours."

The communication session ended.

Belamis looked at the starry cosmos outside, and remembered the day she first met Kugo. It was just like yesterday to Belamis. Their love germinated gradually when Belamis turned away from the evil forces, and she joined hands with Kugo. Belamis loved Kugo, and now they would face an enormous challenge. The mighty Golinkor forces which was beyond Belamis' grasp, and the prospect that she or Kugo, or both would die.

"I will not let Kugo die..." Belamis thought. It was the same thought she had when she saw the photo monster at the Great Planet. Only she had the kind of weapon to deal with it, and she decided to sacrifice herself, for those who lost their planets....and for her only love.

At the Galaxy Union reinforcement, was Kugo, thinking the same stuff... the first time he met Belamis...and of course the several occasion he thought Belamis perished, but she lived. Kugo remembered that fateful day when he hesitated and did not stop Belamis in time, it was only sheer luck that Belamis lived.

"Belamis... this time... don't sacrifice....and I wont' let you!" Kugo thought.

The reinforcement fleet from Galaxy Union headed to the Galaxy Union frontier force, and Belamis was the commander in chief.

ベラミス - her epic journey of her soul

Chapter 22 The fierce battle

As the alarm sounded, all battle personnel of the Galaxy Union battleship assembled.

Then the public announcement system sounded a message, "Colonel Belamis, report to the main command room!"

Belamis was about to hop to her jet, and stopped. She frowned, so she ran back to the main command room.

Admiral Yautsin was there, and said, to Belamis, "You have to be here and command this ship..."

Belamis looked, and she turned to the screens and dashboards.

Belamis then replied, "Admiral, the enemies are coming at four directions, sector A, sector D, sector F and sector G....."

"To avert them.... our battleship has to re-align, then send out our squadrons to stop them... and then.... use warp flight to escape..." Belamis continued.

Yautsin nodded, "... that is what I have in mind... Belamis, stay here and issue the command...."

Belamis looked at Yautsin, she really wanted to go out and fight. Yautsin looked at her and said, "You have to be the one that is overseeing all things.... we cannot have you going out at the front line all the time..."

Then Yautsin collapsed. Belamis yelled, "Get the medic!!!"

Yautsin was in the sick bay.

Dr. Joey examined Yautsin, then she said, "Admiral, how long have you got this condition ?"

Belamis asked, "What condition ?"

Dr. Joey, "Yautsin had cancer in his lungs, and the cancer already spread to his other organs..."

Belamis looked at Yautsin.

Yautsin replied, "... that's why I must have you on board the Galaxy Warrior... only you have the talent to command this fleet... if I ..."

Belamis looked at Yautsin, her father's friend. Belamis remembered her father, like Yautsin, was also her superior. Belamis said, "Sir.... I will take care of things."

Belamis headed back to the main command room, all of the staff there was worried. Belamis announced, "Comrades, be calm and be brave.... we are going to win this!"

Belamis then commanded, "Polaris, Vega, Sputnik, turn to sector A and aim your guns. Spica, Albireo and Miza, turn to sector D. Pollux to sector F along with the rest of our ships."

"Squardon Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, head out to the main forces of Golinkor aT sector D. All other ships, cover our space fighters..."

In the radio transmission was Loken's voice, "Colonel.... we are set!"

Belamis replied, "Loken... I am counting on you to lead the squadron!"

In the screen, Loken saluted. Belamis returned salute.

Belamis commanded, "Galaxy Warrior, arm our main canons, all battleships.... when you receive my command, fire at will!"

"Lester, Greg... give me updates of latest situation....." Belamis commanded.

The entire ship's crew was in full swing, Medora stayed in her room and listened to the broadcast...

Belamis looked at the main big screen, and thought to herself, "There are so many enemy ships... and I cannot go out to use my space sword...."

"Colonel, the enemy ships will be within our firing range in 30 seconds...." Lester said.

"All ships, prepare to fire.... squadrons... where are you ?" Belamis yelled.

"ETA enemy battleship, 20 seconds...." Replied Loken.

"Lieutenant Loken... when the squadron get within range... aim your missiles at their engines and then fire at will". Belamis said.

"10 seconds to range..." Lester said.

"9..8...7...6...5...4...3..." Lester counted.

"All ships, fire at will!!" Belamis commanded.

In no time, cannons fired at the Golinkor battleships, and they returned fire.

"Raise the shields... the counter attack cannons fire!" Belamis commanded. Some enemy fires exploded near Galaxy Warrior, some hit the shield.

"Report on damage!" Belamis commanded.
"Colonel Belamis.... the shield can hold, only minor damages on the ship..." Greg reported.

"Squadron, situation update!"

"We are holding.... we hit four of their ships' engine..." Loken said..... "Arrrhhhhh"

"Loken!" Belamis shouted.

"Lt. Loken's figther was hit!!!" One voice from the squadron reported.

"10 space fighters down..." Another voice reported.

Belamis clutched her teeth, frustrated to watch her squadron comrades being hit and she was not with them.

"Spica, Pollux, Altair and Albireo, fire your cannons to cover our squadron!" Belamis commanded.

"Sector D reporting, we hit all of the enemy's ship's engine..... arrh...."


Belamis replied in shock, "What is it...??"

Greg replied, "The team of space fighters are under intense enemy fire.......we...we lost all of them..."

"Strong energy detected...heading to Vega!" Lester shouted.

Then a huge explosion... the ship Vega was destroyed.

"Another energy is coming to Pollux!" Lester shouted.

Belamis yelled, "Lester, take my post!"

Belamis ran out and hopped to her jet.... and she thought..."Either I transform to the giantess... or use space sword...."

She started her jet and headed out.... then another explosion...Pollux exploded.

"Their energy weapons are aiming at our ships, and they are shooting down a lot of our space fighters..." Lester said.

Belamis knew in her heart that the Galaxy Union's fleet was out-gunned.... The Golinkor's weapons were far far more superior in destructive powers....

Belamis looked at the data, there were battleships at 4 sectors.... the energy of her space sword had to be huge to cover all of the sectors at once....

Belamis stood out of her jet and raised her sword....

At this moment, Yautsin was out from his bed, and entered the main command room.

"Admiral!" Lester shouted.

"I know..." Yaustin looked at the severe onslaught from Golinkor forces and knew Belamis had go out....

"Use our fire powers to cover Belamis!" Yautsin commanded, "...and ready our guiding beam to get her back!"

Belamis used all her will power to suck in as many energy to her body as she could.... and never felt so painful on her body... as if she was burning up....

"Arh... arh..." Belamis moaned.... and she started to let out a bright glow on her body....

"More energy... more energy..." Belamis thought.

Dr. Joey, on the other hand, monitored Belamis vitals, "...she...she was gather energy from the cosmos....the energy content....is unbelievable..." as she watched the dials going up....
"She would die!" Dr. Joey thought.

The enemy battleships fired at Belamis' fighter, and all Galaxy Union's ships were firing to cover her... and Galaxy Union's fighters were also covering her...taking all the shots.

Belamis watched... in tears as one by one her own comrades went down... some saluting to her...

".... I have to win this... and live... or else... these comrades will die in vain!" Belamis thought.

"Space sword....hurricane!!!" A gigantic tidal wave like energy speed to the enemy ships at all sectors....

ベラミス - her epic journey of her soul

Chapter 21 Belamis on board the space battleship

Belamis recovered in a week, with Medora caring for her. The Galaxy Union sent a notice, Belamis was to be on board of a space battleship, as a commander.

Belamis received the notice, and thought to herself, "This is it...."

Dr. Kitty knew from the sources that the battle with the Golinkor force was at the critical stage, and the Galaxy Union would launch a big counter attack.

This day, Belamis was in the hanger, checking her own space fighter. Medora came.

Belamis turned, and looked at her.

Medora said, "You are going to the front line..."

Belamis nodded, and then she turned and held Medora's hand, "I promise... I will come back."

Medora said, "I want to come with you..."

Belamis replied, "I know what you feel.. but the space battleship is not for young people...."

Medora looked at Belamis, who was in plain clothes, replied, "... I know from instinct that this battle...you will be in danger... I want to be at your side.."

Belamis looked at Medora, and she knew what Medora said. The recent spate of attacks intensified everywhere, and even Belamis almost died when she saved Medora.

"It is more important that you stay at a safe place." Belamis said.

Then came the day, Belamis was to meet the commander of the Galaxy Union Space Fleet, Admiral Yautsin.

"Come in..." Admiral Yautsin said, as Belamis was waiting outside his office.

Belamis entered, and at the desk was a man in his sixties, with silver hair and white beard. Belamis saluted.

The man looked at Belamis for a while, then slowly spoke, "Colonel Belamis, you would be the commander of a space battleship."

"Yes, I know." Belamis replied. The old man before her reminded Belamis of her father.

Admiral Yautsin stood up, and walked to a large map depicting the Galaxy and dots on it showing where the Golinkor forces were.

"Actually, you would be on board of my battleship, the Galaxy Warrior, as Captain of the space squadron."

"Galaxy Warrior ?" Belamis replied. Galaxy Warrior was the largest battleship, a space aircraft carrier where the main space fighter squadron would base, and other battleship in the armada supporting it.

"You will also be my second in line, directing the other battleship and space fighters in the battle." Admiral Yautsin replied.

"Sir... this is a great task and a lot of responsibility..." Belamis replied.

"That's why it is you..." Admiral Yautsin said.

"I have gone through your files, alongside with General Kahn...." Yautsin said, "... do you know... your father and I used to fight alongside ?"

"Father ?" Belamis replied.

"Near Gariusu system, was my system Arion, you father Conan lead a force, which joined forces with us in a battle against aggression to both our star systems. We were just young officers then..." Yautsin said, "... I never thought one day I would meet Conan's daughter..."

"I did not recommend you because you are Conan's daughter, but because of the information I found out... you are a talent in military command... and you are also a brave warrior.."

Belamis replied, "I am still young and green compared to a lot of the officers..."

"I trust my hunches... you are a fine commander.." Yautsin replied.

"In 6 days, the fleet would head out to space, and you have to be on board after 4 days...." Yautsin said, and he reached out his hand, "Welcome aboard..." Belamis shook hands with him, and nodded.

"By the way, this belongs to you..." Yautsin handed to Belamis a pod like container.

"This is what's left of Gariusu, the pod which contained all of Gariusu history, culture and knowledge.... all the archive...and the file about you...you are the only citizen of Gariusu we know that is still alive now, and this belongs to you..." Yautsin said.

The pod was inside a metal container, shaped like an oval ball. Belamis looked at it, and the pod's top opened to reveal a small compartment, inside it was a arm bracelet, with a cross star shaped golden badge on it, and a gem in the middle of the star.

"The arm bracelet is yours...." Yautsin said.

Belamis nodded, and said, "Thank you..." Then she left the base and returned to the research facility.

Dr. Kitty, Medora and Assistant Professor Dodge was there, and they looked at the pod which contained all of Gariusu civilization.

Dr. Kitty said, "That was the pod we found and there we accidentally found out about your past..."

Belamis looked at the arm bracelet and said, "This was mine ?"

"Yes.... in the archives, it was wore by Gariusu giantess..." Dr. Kitty replied.

Belamis put her hands on the pod, and touched it... the pod was all that left of her home planet... her beautiful home planet...as well as her memories of her parents, childhood and friends.

Belamis then looked at the arm bracelet, and gazed at it.

Medora looked at the bracelet and said, "Strange...I thought the gem is glowing..."

"What ?" Belamis asked.

Then suddenly the gem on it glowed, and the bracelet opened up, and flew towards Belamis. Belamis was wearing just plain clothes and a sleeveless shirt, and the bracelet landed on her right arm and closed. The bracelet fit on her right arm perfectly.

"What is it ???" Belamis said.

"Another Gariusu giantess thing ?" Assistant Professor Dodge said.

Medora looked at the bracelet and said, "...it... it was for the Gariusu giantess....it seems to have powers..."

Belamis tried to take it off, but couldn't, she looked at it and frowned, "I have to wear this with my fighting suit..."

Medora chuckled.

The day came, and Belamis had to report to duty on the battleship Galaxy Warrior, and she bid goodbye to Dr. Kitty, Assistant Professor Dodge. Belamis in her fighting suit, looked as brave and valor as ever.

"I will return to Earth ..." Belamis said.

"Yes.... Earth is your home now... and you are always welcomed here..."Dodge said.

Dr. Kitty looked at Belamis, as Belamis gazed at her. Dr. Kitty knew in her heart that Belamis treated her as though she was her mother, and Dr. Kitty, in her heart, adopted Belamis like her own daughter. Dr. Kitty placed her hands on Belamis face, and stroked her hair gently. Belamis holding back her tears and nodded.

Then Medora hugged Belamis, Belamis hugged her, and said, "I will return... with the peace of our Galaxy restored..."

Medora nodded.

Then Belamis hopped into her space fighter and started the engine, and flew at Mach 3 in the sky, then flew into space in top speed, to the rendezvous point with the Galaxy Warrior, near the orbit of the Moon.

"The fighter that is approaching, what is your call-sign ?" The radio commander there asked.

"Gariusu..." Belamis replied, "Allow me to dock..."

"You may go ahead...."

Belamis landed her space fighter on Galaxy Warrior at the designated spot for her fighter jet, and she jumped out. In no time she was on the main command room, with Admiral Yautsin on the main commander seat, and Belamis on the front control seat, overseeing the entire control room.

"All systems are ready..." The chief engineer Lester said.

"The flight path is inputted to the navigational systems, and the battleship can launch anytime.." The navigator Greg replied.

Belamis turned to Admiral Yautsin, "We are ready..."

"Galaxy Warrior, launch..." Admiral Yautsin said.

Belamis repeated, "Start the engine, increase thrust to 10 zetawatt, Galaxy Warrior, launch!"

In less than 20 minutes, Galaxy Warrior was on its way to the front line. Alongside with it was the other battleships of the Galaxy Union fleet.

"This is it...." Admiral Yautsin remarked. "We are meeting the Golinkor forces head on...all of you, when you are off duty, tried to rest more... for we will have no time to rest once we reached the frontier..."

Belamis stayed in the main command room. Yautsin looked at her and said, "Go to your room to rest your eyes... we have Lt. Loken here..."

"Loken ?" Belamis remarked. There it was Lt. Loken, smiling back at her.

"Go and get some sleep...tough girl..." Chuckled Loken. Belamis smiled, and nodded.

Belamis headed back to her room, and just stretched herself, then suddenly she heard a small sound.

"What is it...?" Belamis looked under her bed... and there it was Medora!

"Why are you here ????" Belamis exclaimed.

Medora crawled out under the bed, and smiled mischievously, "I wanted to help you...!"

"How ??" Belamis was worried, and she replied, "You can't just sneak in like that!!!"

"Belamis.... you cannot change to the giantess at will... but I can help.." Medora said, and holding the scepter in her hands.

Belamis frowned and signed, "How did you get here ?"

Medora smiled, "I climbed in one of the jet of the officers, and stow away..."

"That's dangerous!"

Medora chuckled again, "It's a cool looking officer called with a beard who took me here to your room..."

"What ?"

Then the door knocks, Belamis asked, "Who is it ?"

"Belamis, did you find your friend ?" Loken came in with a wide smile.

"Gosh..." Belamis frowned.

Medora smiled and said, "Thanks !"

"I am the second line commander...and I cannot allow this to happen..." Belamis said.

"I have to report this to Admiral Yautsin..."

At the Captain's room, Belamis, Loken and Medora stood before Yautsin.

"I am very sorry about this...." Belamis said.

Loken continued, "I am the one to blame....I noticed this girl in my jet before I came ... but I took her in and led her to Belamis..."

Admiral Yautsin looked at the party, expressionless. He stood up from his chair and looked outside the window.

Then he turned, and said, "We'd already passed the orbit of Ceres, and to turn back would waste a lot of time..."

"We cannot just take you back or send you back... you have to come with us." Yautsin continued.

"Colonel Belamis, she is your responsibility... and Loken, both of you should have been disciplined.. but this time I pardon you both..."

Belamis replied, "Thank you, sir."

Loken also replied, "Thank you, sir."

Yautsin turned to Medora, "Little girl, behave yourself here... Belamis will take good care of you"

The three left the room.

Belamis breathed a sign of relief. Loken laughed.

"Hey...." Belamis replied in frustration.

"Okay okay... I shouldn't have take her on board... I am sorry..." Chuckled Loken.

"Come on, Belamis.... you are happy that I am her, aren't you ?" Said Medora.

Belamis just frowned, and replied, "Remember, stay in a safe place and don't wander about in the battleship.... I cannot watch over you all the time."

"Lighten up, Belamis..." Loken said.

Belamis replied, "I know what you are trying to say..... but this battle is big..."

As the party walked to the cafeteria, Belamis said, "There's no guarantee if we can return alive..."

Medora said, "You mean.... you may die..."

Belamis knew Medora was concerned, and said, "I mean... this battle is very tough and dangerous..."

They arrived at the cafeteria, and they ordered food and ate.

"This might be our last time we can sit and eat without interruption..." Loken said.

Belamis replied, "It's time... I have to be back at the command room."

At the command room, Belamis sat at her commander seat, looking at the main window and screen. The crew were busy.

Admiral Yautsin came back from his room, and asked, "Everything's OK?"

Belamis said, "Yes."

"It's time we use warp flight to get to the front line." Yautsin said.

"Greg, what's the time to start the warp sequence ?" Belamis asked.

"With all co-ordinates calculated, and our warp engine ready, we will begin warp flight... in 70 minutes..." Lester replied.

Yautsin remarked, "Good."

Then alarm sounded.

"The sensor detected a large group of objects heading to us..." The console team head Solomon exclaimed.."Golinkor fleet!!!"

Belamis stood up, and commanded, "Scan the enemy and determine their ship rank and number..."


"Three spacecraft carrier.... equivalent to our Galaxy Warrior, twenty star battleships heading our way...and uncountable number enemy fighters..." Solomon replied, "distance to us.... 800 space miles.."

"Belamis, you lead the space squadron from our fleet and stop the enemy fighters.." Yautsin commanded.

"Yes, sir." Belamis saluted, and ran.

The space squadron at all the Galaxy union battleship scramble to action. Belamis leaped to her fighter jet and flew out first, followed by the squadron, a total of 200 fighters, with Loken as Belamis' deputy commander flying side by side with Belamis.

"Fall into formation!" Belamis commanded. The squadron fall into formation, into six groups, and Belamis leading.

"Target our cannons and guns to the enemies!" Belamis commanded, "We are about to engage!"

"Loken, you lead group Alpha, Gamma and Delta to engage the enemy fighters..." Belamis commanded, "I am leading Beta and Zeta to fight distract the enemy warships. Omega group, cover us and guard our fleet!"

The squadron spread and Belamis led her groups and fight the enemy battleships.

The enemy battleships began firing.

"Engage energy shield!" Yautsin commanded. The energy cannons hit the shields, and the Galaxy Union also tried to avoid the attack.

Belamis yelled, "Split into 10 groups, and attack the battleships with our missiles, target their guns!" Then Belamis flew her fighter right in front of her squadron, and began attack.

"Captain Belamis, it's an honor to fight with you!" One pilot said, as he flew by and began attacking the enemy ships.

Belamis launched missiles and energy torpedoes, wrecking the main guns of one battleship.

"Belamis, our targeting system is ready, target the enemy ship so that our system can lock onto them before we fire..." Yautsin commanded.

"Yes sir. All brothers and sisters, engage target system, target the enemy warships, aim at their guns and cannons!" Belamis commanded.

Belamis looked back at where Loken was, and the other groups of the squadron were fighting fiercely with the enemy fighters. Belamis saw that a few of their fighters were hit and exploded.

"Belamis, we lost four comrades... we could still hold on!" Loken replied.

Belamis said, "Alright..." She switched on the main target system, where her fighter would send back signals to Galaxy Warrior and other battleship the target's position for their weapons to lock the target.

"Targets acquired!" The other pilots reported to Belamis.

"Get the hell out and help our comrades back there!" Belamis yelled.

Belamis' figher the Blue Star had the top speed, and with Belamis superior skills in piloting she flew the jet back to fight among the enemy fighters, and she shot down a number of them.

"Great skills!" Loken said.

"Fire the canons!" Yautsin commanded. The main cannons of the fleet fired, hitting the battleships of the Golinkor fleet, including the two spacecraft carriers.

Numerous explosions occurred.

"Good... we wrecked the guns of the enemy warships..." Yautsin thought.

"Look... the two spacecraft carrier..." Greg yelled.

Belamis watched and was shocked. The two big spacecraft carrier had strong energy shields and withstood all of the Galaxy Union's fire.

Then two giant balls of energy fired from the spacecraft carriers and hit one of the Galaxy Union battleship, wrecking its energy shield and destroyed it.

"Good lord!!!" Loken yelled.

"Their energy weapons are strong" Belamis said.

Galaxy Union fleet fired again, their space energy cannons hit the other battleships, this time the enemy battleships raised their energy shield, and the cannons did hardly any damage to them.

"Their fire powers and shield is very strong..." Yautsin said. "Fire our main cannon!"

The Galaxy Union fleet fired again, and only damaged two enemy space battleship.

"Oh no..." Belamis battled the enemy space fighters, shooting them down, but she saw the enemy spacecraft carriers were going to fire again.

A series of gigantic energy balls were fired, hitting another two battleships of Galaxy Union fleet, one was severely damaged, one exploded.

"No!!!!! We are like sitting ducks!!!" Loken yelled. Belamis' squadron of 200 fighters battled hard with the swarm of enemy fighters, with Belamis being the Ace fighter, she shot down over 20 of the enemy fighters, but they were out numbered.

"I.... I must use space sword!" Belamis thought. She opened up the cover of her fighter, and commanded, "Loken! Cover me!"

Belamis stepped outside her jet and drew her sword, and began using her body as the medium to absorb the cosmic energy around her.

"Cover our captain!" Loken screamed.

Belamis jet flew towards the enemy spacecraft carrier in fierce enemy fire.

"Just a bit more..." Belamis thought, "I must deliver the maximum energy ..."

Then a cannon from the enemy fighter fired at Belamis' jet.

"Look out Captain!" One of her squadron pilot steered her jet and shielded Belamis.

"Chief Captain Belamis!" The woman pilot saluted her before her jet exploded.

Belamis felt a heartache - that woman pilot was from Lacets Legion, who was under her command - they were loyal to Belamis.

Belamis felt that her body was aching, and she knew she already accumulated a large reserve of cosmic energy, to be released with her sword.

"Space sword hurricane!" Shouted Belamis as she welded her sword. A large wave of energy, like a tsunami, stormed to Golinkor fleet, spreading out like a gigantic wave.

The spacecraft carrier and the rest of Golinkor fleet froze, then a bright light emerged from the battleships and they all exploded, sending shock waves back.

Belamis and her jet were hit by the shock waves and sent hurtling out.

"Get away!" Loken yelled to the rest of the squadron as they steered their fighters out of the way.

"Braze yourselves!" Yautsin yelled. The shock waves hit Galaxy Union fleet, shaking the remaining battleships, but there were no damage.

"What the hell was that ? " Loken exclaimed.

Belamis gained control of her jet, and she breathed heavily....

"No... my own life energy..." Belamis felt very weak.

Then the swarm of enemy fighters all headed towards Belamis.

"No... they were going to avenge !" Loken screamed. "Let's get our captain back!"

The Galaxy Union squadron raced to shoot the enemy fighters to cover Belamis.

Belamis was in the middle of intense enemy fire, and could barely pilot her own jet to dodge the shoot out from the enemy fighters.

Yautsin commanded, "Target our space guns to those fighters and cover our space fighters!" The Galaxy Union battleships began firing their guns, covering their own squadron.

"There were only less than 30 enemy fighters left, finish them off!" Loken yelled.

"Yes!!!" The rest of the squadron screamed, "For our captain!"

They fought fiercely, and finally destroyed all enemies fighter. The squadron screamed in excitement.

"Use the guiding beam to tow Belamis' fighter back." Yautsin commanded.

Belamis already fainted in her jet, and Galaxy Warrior's guiding beam towed her along with her jet back, and sat the jet onto the carrier's deck.

Medora was already there waiting, the rest of the squadron arrived one by one, with Loken among them.

The medical personnel got Belamis out of her jet, and started to examine her.

"Not like this ..!!! She's a cyborg!" Loken shouted.

"I am Dr. Joey, Dr. Kitty's student..." The lead medical person was young woman in early twenties, and she replied, "I know how to treat cyborgs, and certainly Belamis.."

Loken was shocked, and he looked at Dr. Joey.

"Take her to the medical room... and also the rest that are injured..." Dr. Joey commanded.

Medora wanted to follow, and Dr. Joey saw her, "Why is there a young girl here ?"

Belamis woke up, and replied feebly, "...she...is...my friend.."

Medora rushed forward and hugged Belamis, "Belamis!!"

Dr. Joey looked, and said, "Very well...she can come ..."

The medical team wheeled Belamis and other injured fighters to the battleship built-in hospital to get them treated.

Belamis was very weak, and was inside the cyborg medical chamber, with Medora watching.

Admiral Yautsin came to the in battleship hospital and looked around.

"Lt. Loken, how many fighters have we lost ?"

"Counting only the squadron, 121 of the 200 returned..." Loken replied, "Considering the vast number of enemy fighters...and their fire powers..."

Admiral Yautsin nodded, and said, "We lost 3 battleships, with 8 severely damaged, and only 12 could still proceed, luckily Galaxy Warrior only sustained minor damages."

Then Yautsin turned to Belamis, and watched her.

Medora was worried, and she shed tears silently.

"What was that she did ?" Loken asked.

"Belamis.... she has powers to leverage cosmic energy ...and shoot it out ... but that would also risk her own life.." Medora replied.

"That blast she did was phenomenal... and unbelievably destructive..." Yautsin said, "..we never see anything like this before.."

Dr. Joey looked at them and said, "Dr. Kitty used to treat Belamis, before I came on board she gave me all the data about Belamis..."

Dr. Joey looked at Belamis, and said slowly, ".... she possessed godlike powers.... but still a mortal..."

Medora interrupted, "I know... she might die..."

Dr. Joey looked at Medora, and knew Medora cared about Belamis, and she then replied, "Don't worry, Belamis is only exhausted.... she will make it."

After 4 hours, Belamis gradually woke up, and looked at Medora. They hugged. Then Belamis noticed Dr. Joey.

"I am Dr. Joey, I am a student of Dr. Kitty, and I learned all about cyborgs from her..." Dr. Joey replied, "She told me a lot about you...."

Belamis nodded, and said, "Thank you."

Belamis wanted to get up, but Dr. Joey replied, "You just recover from your exhaustion, you should rest."

Belamis shook her head and said, "There is a crucial battle ahead, and they need every fighting personnel they have." She spoke as she got out of the cyborg chamber, with Medora holding her hand.

Dr. Joey signed, "Dr. Kitty was right... at times of fighting it is hard to stop you... just rest when you can."

Belamis replied, "I understand.... take care of the other injured ones... I am OK."

Then Belamis and Medora left. As they were on the way back to their quarters, Loken caught up with them.

"Hey.... that was really something you did back there..." Loken said.

Belamis turned, and replied, "Don't mention it..."

Loken knew Belamis risked her life, so he said, "We will cover you...and do anything to save you..."

"No..." Belamis replied, and Medora and Loken was stunned.

Belamis slowly spoke, "In the battle, I fought with all my might for all, and I am ready to sacrifice in the battle field.... the rest of the squadron is to stick to the strategy and go on fighting.."

Loken replied, "...but I know you... you won't leave anyone of us behind...you came back alone and fight with us... likewise we will not leave our Captain out in the enemy fires."

Belamis looked at Loken, and said, "... next time, you might have to make the tough decision to leave me or other comrade behind..."

Loken was stunned, and watched Belamis and Medora left.

Then the public announcement sounded, "All combat personnel standby... enemies crafted detected..."

"No way..." Loken thought. Then he saw Belamis rushed to the direction of the space fighter bay...

Belamis thought in her mind again, ".... will this be the end... will I ever see Kugo again...?"

ベラミス - her epic journey of her soul

Chapter 20 Farewell to first love....

Medora realized she had mistaken Belamis to be a man. Embarrassed, but more so felt lost, she stayed in her room.

Belamis knocked, "Can I come in ?"

Medora walked to the door and opened the door. Medora was familiar with the place and could move around though she was blind.

Belamis said gently, "You have been staying indoors for days..... do you want me to take you out ?"

Medora shook her head.

Belamis signed, and looked at her, and said, "I don't know what to say...." she stroked Medora's hair, and Medora turned her head away, and replied in telepathy, "... I am alright..."

Belamis said, "I cared about you as my dearest friend, and you are also special to me because you can change me to the giantess form... I am your protector..."

Medora replied, "...Belamis.... I can't help it.... you... you .. are so brave and strong... I admired you..."

Belamis replied gently, "I am not angry or what.... just worried... nothing you did changed my care and concern to you."

Tears rolled out of Medora's eyes, and she fell into Belamis arms. Belamis hugged her.

Belamis then took Medora outside, and walked together. Medora spoke to Belamis in telepathy, "...I really hoped that you are a man... to protect me.....to love me... and I can love you..."

Belamis replied, "Even as a woman, I can still protect you...and... you can still love me..."

Medora replied, "It is more than that.... I want to spend my life with you..."

Belamis signed, "My heart belonged to a man already... you are still young, unsure about your feelings.. when you grow older, you will get over it..."

Medora stopped midway, and said, "I will still love you.... in my own ways..."

Belamis smiled and said, "Yes."

It was a fine day, the breeze blew up Belamis long hair, and Belamis lied down at the grass meadow just near the orphanage with Medora at her side.

Belamis looked at the skies, then Medora asked, "What is the color of your eyes...?"

"Blue...like the skies..." Belamis replied, as she looked at the skies, and remembering her home planet.

Medora listened to the breeze, and said in telepathy, "I was blind since mother died... I wish I could see your face now....."

Belamis looked at her...and wondered in her mind..."Can my healing powers..."

Then the alarms sounded. Belamis without a second thought, carried Medora and dashed back to the facilities.

Belamis frowned at the sight - the monsters came again. They were relentless.

Dr. Kitty said, "The cyborgs from the Galaxy Union forces are all tied up elsewhere in the Galaxy... and only you are here on Earth.."

Belamis suited herself up, and said, "Then I have to do my best to defend Earth.." She went to her jet and started the engine, and headed out.

Belamis steered her jet and headed to the scene where the monsters were, and she gasped.

"Five of them...gigantic..." Belamis thought. The battle with the monsters that attacked got more severe by the day, and Belamis knew just by how many times she was seriously wounded.

She gazed back at the research facilities, and thought, "...one day... I might be killed in battle... Medora..."

Belamis started her strikes from her jet and shot out blasts to deter the monsters from getting anywhere near populated areas.

"I am not going to let what happened to Gariusu happen here!" Belamis leaped out of her jet and steered her space bike, charging the monster, braving their mighty strikes and blasts of energy.

Belamis struck with her sword using a mighty blast of energy, but the monsters seemed to be unhurt.

"My electromagnetic sword basic weapons were not effective....they were getting stronger by the day!" Belamis thought.

"Space cut!" Belamis yelled, sending a mighty blasts of energy to the monsters... and they only slightly injured, and turned to Belamis and began firing powerful balls of flames.

Belamis dodged and resumed her attack, using her sword. The monsters were winged beasts, looked like giant flying dragons, and they lashed their tails at Belamis.

Belamis dodged on her space bike, but then was hit by another blasts of fireballs.

Belamis clutched her teeth and endured the intense heat and charged, only to be hit by a tail of another monster. The monsters were numerous, a total of eight, and they overwhelmed Belamis.

Belamis space bike nearly hit the ground, before she regained control and she charged again.

Dr. Kitty watched the monitor and was worried.

Medora could not see a thing but she instinctively knew Belamis was in trouble.

Medora secretly reached for the scepter, and sneaked out.

"Aaaarrrrhhh..." Belamis was hit again, and this time she fell to the ground.

"No.... there are too many of them.... I have to use the space sword...."

Belamis hold up her sword, and lashed out a cut sending a high energy stream to the monsters.

The monsters formed a shield and absorbed the energy.

Belamis fell on her knees, that attack she just did used a lot of her life energy...

"I ... I can only use this level on Earth... or else.... the full force of space sword would destroy populated area..." She knew she was still fighting near the vicinity of the city, she could not use her ultimate weapon like she did in space.

Then another avalanche of attack came down to Belamis -- fireballs, high energy beams etc. came firing at Belamis.

Belamis was engulfed in flames and in great pain, and then one monster stepped on Belamis, pinning her down.

The other monsters headed to the city and the research facilities.

Belamis tried to struggle, and could not move. Then in the fire and smoke, she saw Medora coming to her.

Medora said in telepathy, "Belamis...!"

Belamis screamed, "Don't come near!" The monsters started to fire at Medora, and Medora was nearly hit. Then at Medora's side there's an explosion, the force sent Medora falling to the ground.

Belamis yelled, "No!!" In that instant, Belamis transformed. She lost her suit, and became naked. Belamis' forehead glowed as her control unit released, and bright white lights shot out of her eyes, finger tips and toes, and she turned into the giantess.

Belamis rushed and picked up Medora. Medora was hurt slightly. Belamis uttered, "Me..do..ra.."

Medora moaned, and Belamis put her at a hillside. Then Belamis roared, flexing her muscles, and leaped to one of the monsters and fought fiercely.

The monsters fired at Belamis, and Belamis grabbed hold of one monster, turning its mouth to the others, and fired the fireballs at the other monsters. The other monsters were hurt by the fireballs of their own.

Belamis then pulled the tail of one monster, and hurled it round and round on its tail, threw it to another monster. With only her strength, Belamis pinned down two of the monsters with her bare hands, yet the other six surrounded her, firing at her again.

Upon being hit by the fireballs and energy beams, Belamis roared, and she lifted the two monsters with her arms, and used them like weapons and hit back the other six monsters.

Dr. Kitty saw all that, "Belamis was getting stronger and stronger". Belamis roared, and with each hand grabbing one tail of a monster, she threw the monster clear, and leaped up high, sending kicks to another two monster. Yet there were eight of them, the remaining ones suddenly charged at Belamis.

"Belamis!" Dr. Kitty yelled. The monsters used their jaws and grabbed Belamis, sinking their teeth into Belamis arms, another two bit her breast, another two grabbed her legs. The two grabbing her legs began to pull at different direction, pulling hard on Belamis legs.

Belamis let out sound of pain. Then she flexed her arms and struggled, trying to free herself. The two remaining ones spit fireballs at her.

All of a sudden, Belamis whole body glowed, as though she was on fire, letting out a strong bright white glow. After that glow, the monsters let go of her, and then the monsters fell to the ground with Belamis.

The monster all appeared burnt, and Belamis was on the ground, struggling to stand up.

Dr. Kitty saw that, "She used her own energy, letting it out in a burst of energy which killed the monster!"

With that burst of energy, Belamis was able to kill six of the monsters. The energy burst was a combination of strong heat and electromagnetic burst, which annihilate monsters at close range. After this release of energy, Belamis was severely weakened. There were still two monsters, Belamis struggled to stand up, and one of them spit out fireballs at Belamis.

Belamis was hit and she fell to the ground, unable to get up... she was too weak now.

Medora heard the sound, and her telepathy instinct felt that Belamis was in trouble.

"Belamis...." Medora was teary.... then suddenly Medora levitated...and flew towards Belamis.

Belamis saw Medora "flying" towards her, and was stunned.

Medora stopped mid air, and the monster's strong fireball was about to hit Medora, when a force field appeared, shielding Medora, and that effectivly protected Belamis.

Then multiple fireballs hit, Medora's energy field was stopping them.

Belamis struggled up, and uttered.."Medora..." She knew Medora was using her Galaxy Energy to save her.

Medora appeared to be in a trance state, turned, and fired a beam of energy at Belamis breasts.

Immediately Belamis felt energized. She immediately knew that it was Medora giving her the energy. Belamis roared, and leaped to the attacking monster, using her hand chop she hit the monster's head and knock it down, and then she grabbed its jaw, and tore it apart. Then Medora's energy field began to subside, the other monster fired a large fireball at Belamis.

"Belamis..." Medora sent her voice to Belamis in telepathy, as she flew and stopped between Belamis and the monster, and the large fireball hit her. The energy field dropped, and Medora fell from mid air. Belamis roared and caught Medora in her hands, and she leaped up high, and came down with a high diving kick to the remaining monster, hitting its head, and killed it.

Belamis hold Medora in her hands, and Medora was severely injured. Belamis felt that Medora was dying as she saw Medora's face turned pale. Belamis felt the life energy in Medora was waning, and she wailed loudly in sorrow.

Dr. Kitty witnessed, and thought, "Belamis the Gariusu giantess is protecting Medora the girl that possessed Galaxy Energy....."

Tears streamed out of Belamis eyes, and Belamis radiated her own life energy relentlessly. As she did this, Belamis felt enormous pain ripping through her body....she clutched her teeth to endure the pain.

"Arrrhhhh" Belamis moaned softly, and just kept streaming out energy from her own body.

Gradually, the wounds on Medora's body healed, and her face turned from pale to red. Medora was revived.

Belamis turned back to human size, with Medora in her arms.

Dr. Kitty and Assistant Professor Dodge came.

Belamis gently stroked Medora's hair, and breathed heavily. Belamis was exhausted after this fight, and her body was wounded too.

Medora gradually became conscious, and she opened her eyes.

Belamis looked at her, smiled and said, "It's alright..."

Medora reached out her hands, then she spoke, "Belamis...."

Belamis heard her voice...and was overwhelmed with joy, "Medora...you...you can talk...you can talk..."

Medora replied, "Belamis..." Belamis heard Medora's voice again, and it sounded so much like her friend's Medona's voice, and she could not help crying.

"Yes... yes... I can talk... and you eyes... are really blue like the clear skies above me..." Said Medora.

"You can see too ?" Belamis became teary, as she was overjoyed to know that Medora could see again and talk again.

Medora nodded, and her hands were on Belamis face. Tears also rolled out of Medora's eyes.

"Belamis... you are so beautiful...and strong..." Medora said, as she placed her hands on Belamis body, and one hand touched Belamis face. She wiped Belamis tear as Belamis was crying.

Belamis was teary, and she nodded. She stood up with Medora in her arms. Never before Belamis eyes rolled out tears of joy, as she was happy that Medora's eyes were healed and she could talk again. In her heart she felt as if her best friend Medona was also talking to her.

Then Belamis fell on her knees again, and slowly collapsed. Belamis healed Medora with nearly all her own life energy, and Belamis was completely exhausted.

Back at the research facilities, Belamis lied in a coma inside the cyborg recovery chamber. Energy was pumped in to restore Belamis. Medora was watching at the side.

"What happened ?" Medora asked.

"Belamis, she is your protector.... when she saw you in mortal danger, and you are about to die... Belamis gave her life for you literally..." Dr. Kitty said, in tears.

"She saw that you are wounded, and she knew you are dying, so she released nearly all of her own energy to save you." Dr. Kitty continued.

"In that process, Belamis energy was like Galaxy Energy, not only your wound are healed, she streamed out all of her energy and healed your eyes and make you talk again..." Dr. Kitty remarked.

"Really ?" Medora said.

"Yes. In the legends about Gariusu giantesses, they are destined to protect whoever possessed the Galaxy Energy, and those they loved. For your case, its her instinct to give her life for you..." Dr. Kitty said.

"But the person who possessed Galaxy Energy will also help the Gariusu giantess, like you just did...you send you energy to Belamis..." Continued Dr. Kitty.

Medora heard that, and tears rolled out her eyes, "Even if Belamis is not a man, she will...she will give her life for me???..."

Dr. Kitty nodded, and said, "It was the instinct of Gariusu giantess. Belamis will protect you no matter what..."

Belamis remained in coma, and Medora stayed at her side all along.

ベラミス - her epic journey of her soul

Chapter 19 A fruitless romantic love and yearning

Medora was in love with Belamis. She approached Assistant Professor Dodge, and used sign language to say, "I want to have a set of pencils and a sketchbook..."

Assistant Professor Dodge replied, "You want to draw ? Amazing! Well here you are!" As he grab a few pencils, and a sketchbook, and handed to Medora.

"What do you want to draw?" Asked Assistant Professor Dodge, as he wondered how Medora could draw in blindness. Medora smiled. She reached her hands out and touched a tea cup, that's Assistant Professor Dodge cup of tea. Medora quickly felt the tea cup, then used the pencils and draw the tea cup accurately, and Assistant Professor Dodge was amazed.

Medora then blushed, as she hold the sketchbook and pencils. She walked back to her room, holding the sketchbook tight.

Belamis and Medora were very close, and sometimes Belamis would even slept in the same bed as Medora.

In Belamis thought, she was merely thinking of keeping Medora company, especially in the lonely nights. A few times she saw Medora was crying in a nightmare, so Belamis would sometimes went over to sleep with her.

As Belamis was asleep, Medora rested her head on Belamis torso, gently feeling Belamis body.

This day Belamis was not in the facilities, she was at the Galaxy Union armed force quarters.

Medora took the sketchbook out and began drawing. The first was Belamis' face, which was a handsome face, and greatly resembled Belamis.
Medora's sense of touch was acute, she pictured accurately in her head how Belamis looked like just by touching Belamis face a few times.

Then on the second page she proceeded to draw Belamis - in the form of a man in total nudity. For she remembered Belamis was naked in giantess form, and she touched Belamis' body a few times.

As Medora drew the upper body of Belamis, she blushed. The drawing resembled Belamis in giantess form, except the breasts were not there, as Medora never touched Belamis' breasts, and Medora imagined that to be a man's strong chest, with a masculine pair of pectorals.

Then Dr. Kitty knocked, "Medora, are you in ?"

Medora tugged her sketchbook under her blanket, and stood up, opening the door.

"I came to see if you are OK." Smiled Dr. Kitty.

Medora nodded.

Dr. Kitty then noticed under the blanket the corner of the sketchbook.

At night, before Belamis was back, Medora drew another picture, one that showing her and Belamis along side, like lovers.

Belamis was back from the quarters and entered Medora's room. Medora hid her sketchbook, and she said to Belamis in telepathy, "You are back!"

Belamis said, "Yes...". Medora stood up and went to hug Belamis. Belamis stroke her hair gently, and hugged her. Medora's felt her heart was beating quickly, and she smelled Belamis' body scent.

Belamis looked and found it awkward, and she asked, "What is it ?"

Medora raised her head, and blushed, then she told Belamis in telepathy, "Nothing... I just feel very happy when you are around.."

Belamis looked at her, and said, "Let's take a walk outside, it would be better than staying indoors all the time." Belamis then took her out, Medora hold Belamis hand tightly.

When they were outside, Dr. Kitty entered Medora's room, and found the sketchbook.

Dr. Kitty looked at the pictures, and frowned, "Goodness.....".
Before her eyes was a picture of Belamis, whole body, naked, even with man's genitals.

Dr. Kitty thought, "It's easy for this kind of misunderstanding.... Belamis was tough like a man, she was very handsome, chivalrous, brave and strong...all qualities of a man where a woman will admire..."

Belamis and Medora were back, and Medora slept.

Dr. Kitty approached Belamis, and said, "Belamis.... we need to talk."

"What ?" Belamis exclaimed as she heard Dr. Kitty spoke about Medora's sketchbook.

"Yes. I think she is in love with you... she thought you were a handsome young man..." Dr. Kitty replied.

Belamis signed.

She remembered the first time she encountered Kugo, Kugo also thought she was a man. Only Princess Aurora could tell otherwise. Now Belamis body grew much more stronger, without her breasts her very muscular body was almost indistinguishable from a man's body, except she was a bit more slender and did not have the external genitals like a man.

"The body of you changed to such a form because you are now the defender of Galaxy Energy - in the records we found, Gariusu giantess were all like that, with muscular body." Dr. Kitty said.

"Medora developed a deep affection to you.... she loved you like she loved a man." Dr. Kitty continued.

Belamis folded her arms, and looked at the window, and said, "No wonder .... I noticed her awkward behaviors, she clung to my arm, lean onto me, and she blushed at me too. I thought she was attached to me like a sister.... but... how should I tell her ?"

Dr. Kitty, "In time, she will find out.... but that should not change the way you cared about her, and her caring about you...except you are not her love interest..."

Belamis looked out the window, and remembered the anguish of such kind of one way love, as she recalled her feelings to Kugo, before Kugo responded to her, and they finally found each other.

"To be in love, and not knowing how the other one feels, is bitter sweet..." Belamis remarked, "I cannot bring myself to hurt Medora's feelings now by telling her directly, but one day she must know that she cannot love me as she loved a man..."

Belamis walked to Medora's room, and entered. There Medora was sleeping, and her sketchbook was on the floor. It fell out of the blanket. Belamis picked it up and turned the pages, and the drawings were fine, each portraying Belamis' face in great detail, showing her hair, her large blue eyes, the long eye lashes, her dark distinct eyebrows, her nose, lips and her body. Belamis blushed as she saw Medora depicted her as a man with man's genitals.

"Good grief..." Belamis blushed, but she secretly thought of how it was like to have sex. Belamis was still a virgin.

Belamis put the sketchbook back to the floor, and gently stroke Medora's hair, and could not find words to say.

"Eventually you will find out..." Belamis thought to herself.

It was daytime, Medora was up early, out in the open, breathing the fresh air. She felt her way in the green meadows, and picked flowers. As she strolled along, she hummed a tune happily.

Belamis saw her from afar, and knew she was in love, and Belamis signed.

"Belamis, you are here ?" That was Medora's telepathy.

Belamis replied, "Yes." Belamis thought, "Yes...she could read my mind if I let her...but..." Belamis again hesitated.

Then suddenly there was a alarm from the research facilities.

"Monster attack!" Belamis thought. She ran to Medora and said, "It's dangerous out here, let's go back." Belamis carried Medora in her arms, and ran back to the facilities, entered the main control room, and put Medora down.

"Stay here with Dr. Kitty..." Belamis gently said.

Medora nodded, and in her heart the caring voice of Belamis made her grew even fonder.

Belamis went out, and before she exit the room, she turned and looked at Medora, and thought to herself, "If I was a man... I probably would love her too...".

Belamis was 21 years old, just 6 or 7 years older than Medora. Medora was a blossoming young girl, and like any young girl, would yearn for the love of a man, especially she was now all alone, with no family, she satisfied her emotional needs by yearning for a man.

Belamis knew how Medora felt as she felt the same when she found she was in love with Kugo. Belamis signed and headed to her space fighter. She boarded her space fighter and headed out to face the monsters.

There were two flying monsters, which resembled flying dragons. The monsters were heading to the city.

Belamis fired shots from her space fighter to deter them. The monsters turned to her.

"Come on! Monster!" Belamis said, and she accelerated her space fighter and charged to them.

Belamis fired her energy beams from her space fighter, but the monsters were slightly injured only, and started to attack Belamis with their hot energy blasts. Belamis space fighter dodged the blasts, and climbed to a high altitude, and Belamis leaped out into her space bike and drew her electromagnetic sword.

"EM-thunder!!!" Shouted Belamis, as she charged at full speed to the monsters. EM-Thunder hit one of them, and the monster hit back with fire from their mouth.

Belamis dodged the flames and hold up her sword: "EM sword - cut!" She welded her sword and sliced the monster's left wing.

The other monster came from Belamis back and spit out high energy flames at Belamis. The flames hit Belamis and Belamis groaned in pain. She steered away, and was shocked to find the monster which she sliced of the wing re-grow new wings.

"Damn..." Belamis thought. The monsters had regenerating capability, and Belamis knew she could not use the same attack.

"Either I subdue them and change them back...or I have to destroy them completely...".

The monsters went alternatively to attack Belamis, and Belamis was finding it hard to cope. Then one of them spit out a large blob of mucus, hitting Belamis. The mucus was sticky and like glue, and Belamis fell to the ground, completely trapped.

"Arrh..." Belamis tried to pull, but the substance was like molten rubber, but much tougher, and she could not break free.

The two monsters headed to the research facilities, and began attacking it fiercely.

"Go to the shelters!" Dr. Kitty yelled. The people, including Medora began to run, Dr. Kitty hold Medora's hand, and they went with the people down the underground shelter.

The monsters' attack was intense, and the facilities shook as multiple explosions occurred. Dr. Kitty and Medora ran down the stairs but they fell to the ground as the ground shook. Then a big explosion blew open the walls, exposing a big part of the shelter.

Belamis witnessed the facilities was under attack, and Dr. Kitty and Medora was in danger.

Medora cried for help in telepathy, "Belamis!!!!"

Belamis let out a loud cry, and her forehead glowed. She turned into the giantess form and broke free from the sticky blob that trapped her.

Belamis flexed her muscles, and then ran over, just in time to shield the people, including Dr. Kitty and Medora. The monsters' blasts of energy ray hit Belamis back and injured her. Belamis turned and roared, she leaped up high and grabbed one of them, throwing it to the ground.

The other turned and spit a large sticky blob onto Belamis, it hit Belamis chest, binding her arms and and upper body.

Belamis struggled, and the monsters attacked her by spitting more flames at her.

Belamis groaned in pain.

Dr. Kitty saw Belamis was in pain, Medora heard Belamis' cries, and both were worried.

Belamis roared and pulled hard to break free from the sticky blog of mucus, and she grabbed hold of one of the monsters, and maimed its wings. The other was in the air, Belamis picked up a piece of rock and threw it to the monster, hitting it and it fell to the ground. Belamis immediately subdue both of them with her strength, and emitted her energy to change them back to normal beasts.

Belamis turned, and looked at Dr. Kitty and Medora. In an instant, Belamis returned to human form. Belamis approached Medora, and said, "Come over, Medora...". Belamis reached out her arms, and hold Medora's hands. Medora reached her hands out and began feeling her way.

Belamis knelt down, and at that moment, Medora's hands touched Belamis' breasts. Belamis hold Medora's hand, and kept Medora's hands on her breasts. Medora felt Belamis' breasts, she gently pressed with her finger tips, and then felt the shape of Belamis' breasts, touched Belamis' nipples, and felt her entire pectorals and breasts... Medora rested her head on Belamis chest, and realized something.

Medora gasped. Belamis gently hugged Medora, and said, "I will be like your big sister...to care about you..."

As Medora heard these words, she shed silent tears, and cried as she laid her head on Belamis' strong chest.

Belamis let her cry, and she hold back her tears, then she hugged Medora, and stroked her hair.

Starzinger II - the sequel that never fly

Episode 64 of Starzinger ended with Belamis death, and the company landed at the Great Planet, where Princess Aurora restored the Galaxy Energy. It was supposed to be the end.

The producers went on to make the sequel dubbed Starzinger II, where the story line returned to the old formula - the three cyborgs and the Princess' adventure in space.

The sequel could only sustain 9 episodes, with no spark at all. I recently came across the introduction to this sequel:
「ＳＦ西遊記」として好評を博した同題作品の第二弾。前作最終回の翌週から放映された、完全な後日談である。宇宙を救う愛の王女オーロラ姫を目的の星に送 り、その使命を終えた戦士ジャン・クーゴ、サー・ジョーゴ、ドン・ハッカたち３人。だがまだ宇宙の辺境では、邪悪なスペースモンスターが暴れていた。その 事実を知ったオーロラ姫はふたたび３人の戦士を呼集。現在、最凶のモンスターが住むというゴルゴア星系に向かい、そこを浄化する決意を固めた。４人の新た なる旅が始まる。前作で主人公ジャン・クーゴのライバル役だった男装の麗人ベラミスが退場した以外は、ほぼ従来と同じ方向で描かれる宇宙冒険もの。ただし 今回は新趣向として、クーゴは巨大化能力「アストロ変身」、縮小能力「ミクロ変身」を獲得。活劇演出に新味が加えられた。

Using Google translate, I sort of deduced the meaning. The producers created the sequel because the series got very positive ratings. It was aired right after the last episode of the first series. Interesting the introduction mentioned the 退場 (end of the role) of Kugo's arch-rival Belamis, and described Belamis as 男裝麗人 (a beautiful woman dressed like a man).

In Japanese manga and anime, 男裝麗人 is a kind of character that attracts audience. The classic examples are Lady Oscar and Prince Sapphire.

These 男裝麗人 is like the Prince Charming, often female audiences adored these 男裝麗人, and such roles appeared again and again in Japanese anime series.

For Starzinger II, the sequel lost an interesting character, one sharply contrasted with Princess Aurora, and one with a distinct personality. Even though the producers gave Kugo new powers, dressed the Princess up to look more tough, they could not get the series to sustain.

My thought was confirmed when I came across discussion threads saying that the ratings of Starzinger II dropped significantly. Belamis was the most talked about person from the "enemy side", overwhelmingly popular and got a lot of sympathy.

If Belamis lived, her presence would have created a tension in the show, like a wildcard that surprised viewers. Her love to Kugo could also creat a suspense among viewers - who would Kugo choose ? The gentle, soft spoken and beautiful and Princess Aurora or the strong, tough-talking warrior Belamis ? Belamis change of heart after she decided to fight Prince Guyma would also create suspense on what kind of person Belamis would become eventually, and what would be her relationships with Kugo et al in the subsequent adventures -- or would Belamis eclipse Kugo ? In a lot of the case where such 男裝麗人 appeared, 男裝麗人 would eclipse the leading male and female character. This happened for the manga Rose of Versailles, where the author originally created Oscar Francois de Jarjayes as the supporting role to the main character Marie Antoinette, but Oscar's popularity among the readers quickly caused the author to change direction and Oscar eclipsed all other characters.

It did not happen exactly the same way in Starzinger. Firstly Kugo was the protagonist, the good guy, and Belamis was in an opposing trajectory to Kuguo. . Yet the producers gave Belamis the fine chivalrous character, emotions already earned her enough sympathy to draw a lot of fans, even as the "rival" of Kugo.

Imagine if she became the "good guy" and started to fight the evil ones with her charm, wits and chivalry - I would think her charm, personality and cool look would really make Kugo and the Princess looked like supporting roles. It would be natural for the producers to have intended that Kugo and the Princess to remain the leading characters, not to be eclipse by a character, originally intended to be a passing role. I don't think they anticipated how successful Belamis became then.

In the manga, Belamis appeared only a few pages, less than 10% in the 3 volume set. In the manga Belamis looked a lot more feminine, emotional and less tough (though in the manga Belamis actually injured Kugo!). The character in the manga was short-lived and would not impress many people.

However, the producers for Starzinger made a lot of changes to Belamis in the anime. First she became the 男裝麗人, much more handsome and cool than the manga depicted, her fighting powers were more impressive (though she did not injure Kugo in the series, we could see her powers and Kugo were very close match).

Moreover, in the anime the producers expanded a lot on her character, and went to great length to give Belamis more role and let her feature in nearly a third of Starzinger I. The anime spent a lot of time depicting Belamis' tragic past, inner feelings, compassionate character, bravery, ambition, chivalrous act and her love to Kugo. Belamis interacted more with other characters, showing her inner conflicts, toughness and her willingness to show compassion. As a result, Belamis stood out as a very vivid and interesting female character, one that contrasted with Princess Aurora, and with more inner emotions the viewers could experience. I can imagine viewers started out disliking her in the first place, but gradually become more sympathy of her as they learned of her tragic past, and later on as her more positive side were revealed, people began to admire her, and hoped she would recant her service to Queen Lacets and became a warrior of justice. Eventually Belamis did recant her loyalty to the evil empire and fought alongside with Kugo, and to the dismay of many, the character expanded to the point that she became the courageous warrior to make the ultimate sacrifice for people who lost their home planets.

I think a lot of people missed dearly Belamis like I do, and wondered how would the show became if Belamis lived.

I recently found this online vote for the most popular 男裝麗人 in anime series, The vote excluded Lady Oscar and Prince Sapphire who would be the obvious winners all time winners. I was delighted to find that Belamis came in third place (i.e. number five if we include the two obvious winners). Given that Belamis was not the main character, and only appeared in part of the show, she ranked the highest among "non-main characters". The top two, Tenoh Haruka from Sailor Moon and Amari (Three Musketeers in Japanese Anime) were main characters and appeared throughout their respective series, Belamis' position meant that she impressed a lot of viewers even till this day.

Informal it may be, it showed that among Japanese anime fans, there were a lot of people who remembered Belamis and regarded her as a fine heroine.

ベラミス - her epic journey of her soul

Chapter 18 Breaking the mental block

Once Belamis realized that she had a mental block to prevent her transformation, she was worried.

Medora was at her bedside taking care of her, changing her bandages on her body and her eyes.

Medora had a romantic feeling towards Belamis, and looked upon Belamis as a man.

Belamis eyes were still recovering, she could not stand the bright lights yet. Dr. Kitty examined her eyes.

"You need to keep those bandages on for at least another week. The corrosion of the monster's saliva was not serious, but your eyes needed rest."

Belamis nodded, as Dr. Kitty placed two pads over her eyes.

When the bandage was done, Belamis placed her hand on Medora's shoulder, and said, "Take me out for a walk...."

Dr. Kitty nodded, and Belamis went out with Medora.

Medora could not speak, so she just hold Belamis hand. Medora could feel her way in total blindness around the facilities and she took Belamis out.

Belamis and Medora sat beside the beach.

Medora leaned upon Belamis, and felt heavenly.....it was like a date. Belamis gently stroke Medora's hair.

"Medora...." Belamis said..... "Do you know.... why I transformed ?"

Medora could not speak, so she held Belamis hand and replied in telepathy, "I only know you are different... like I am different...". In her heart she thought..."you are also special to me..."

Belamis paused... and said, "I am different... and would have been an outcast.. if not for my adopted parents..." She told Medora about her past, and Medora placed her hands beside Belamis' head, and said in telepathy, "..can I look ?" Belamis nodded.

Medora used her telepathy powers to look at Belamis' past, and shed tears as she found out more, how Belamis lost her home planet, how she witnessed her mother's and friend's death, how she found out about her identity as Gariusu giant, and finally the death of the old Queen.

Medora spoke to Belamis in her telepathy, "Belamis.... I am also an outcast...... I could read people's mind and talk to them in telepathy...they are scared of me... I have no friends in schools... only mother knew my powers... and accepted me.."

Belamis hugged Medora with her arms, and said, "I will be your friend ... forever...". Medora fell into Belamis' arms and cried.

Belamis had to stay in the research facilities for most of her time, and Medora stayed with her.

Then suddenly the alarms sounded.

"What is that ?" Belamis asked. Medora opened her mouth, only a weak sound of gasping came out, and she hold Belamis hand.

"I ... I have to fight..." Belamis said, as she got up, and then suited herself up.

Medora pushed Belamis chest, and in her telepathy, said, "No.... your eyes are still wounded..."

Belamis said, "... the monster will be too powerful for this research facilities and even the defense forces of Earth... I have to go.."

Belamis struggled and walked out, then suddenly Medora said to her in telepathy, "Belamis ... kneel down..."

Belamis knelt down, and Medora then placed her hands over Belamis eyes. Belamis felt a surge of energy on her eyes, and then she pulled off the bandages, she could see.

"Medora... what have you done ?" Belamis exclaimed, as she saw Medora face was pale and she obviously was very weak.

"Belamis..... go..." Medora said to her in telepathy.
Immediately Belamis realized what happened, Medora used her Galaxy energy to heal her eyes.

Belamis eyes filled with tears, and she said to Medora, ".... you.... you don't have to..."

"Belamis, I love you.." Medora said to her in telepathy.

Belamis picked Medora up with her arms and gently placed her onto the bed, and said, "Wait here for me... and don't go anywhere..."

It was the second time Medora was in Belamis arms. She clearly felt Belamis' strong arms and body, and she blushed. Belamis did not noticed she was blushing.

Belamis replied gently, "Stay with the others... I will protect here, you and Dr. Kitty!" She stormed out and leaped to her jet.

"Blue Star! Launch!" Belamis exclaimed. She started her jet and flew to fight the monster.

The monster was like a gigantic ape, throwing it arms around, and shooting out beams from its eyes.

Belamis yelled, "Attack!" Power lasers shot out from her jet, and she also started shooting bullets.

The monster was only slightly deterred, it still headed to the research facilities. Belamis drew her sword, and leaped out of her jet, and rode her space bike and charged the monster.

"Electro-bolt!" Belamis shot out the energy from her sword hitting the monster. Belamis then leaped up and sent EM-thunder to the monster. The monster roared as it was hit, suddenly it drew a large stick with spikes on it, then hurling it to Belamis. Belamis steered her space bike away and turned, shooting out EM-bullets at the monster.

Suddenly the monster opened its mouth and spilled out red hot flames, hitting Belamis. Belamis fell to the ground, but she jumped up and yelled, "EM-thunder!" The monster turned to Belamis and shot a strong energy beam from its large club, hitting Belamis.

"Arh..." Belamis was injured, and fell to the ground.

Medora did not stay in bed, because in her telepathy she "saw" Belamis was in pain. She got out of the bed and felt her way out.

The monster proceeded to the research facilities.

Dr. Kitty commanded, "Turn on the energy shield!" The energy shield surrounded the facilities, the monster hit it with its club, and then shooting it with its flames.

"The shield could only hold for a few minutes..." Dr. Kitty said.
Medora was afraid and shaking as she heard the loud bang sound as the monster was attacking. She knew where the scepter was, as Dr. Kitty once showed her where it was placed, but she was hesitating.

Medora remembered what Belamis said about not to use the scepter on her.

Belamis struggled to get up, and she shot a blast of Electro-bolt to the monster, the monster turned, then suddenly grabbed hold of Belamis and squeezed.

Belamis felt the crushing force, and her bones felt like they would be crushed, and she yelled in pain.

"Belamis!!" Dr. Kitty yelled.

Belamis tried to resist with all her might, but the monster was much too strong, even with Belamis' strength. The monster threw Belamis onto the ground, and proceeded to attack the facilities, hitting the energy shield.

"No... the energy shield is not going to hold..." Assistant Professor Dodge yelled.

In a loud bang, the energy shield broke, and the research facilities had no protection.

"Dr. Kitty.. Medora...." Belamis looked and struggled up..... "... I... I cannot transform.." Belamis was shocked and full of frustration...

Belamis used her high speed movement, and stood before the monster, and looked fearlessly.

"Even if I die..." Belamis hold up her sword, and yelled, "EM-thunder!" She shot out a strong blast of EM-thunder to the monster. The monster roared and kicked Belamis, sending her crashing to a tree. Belamis could not stand up.

Medora knew the energy field was gone, and she felt her way out, and got to the exit of the facilities, and walked out in the open. Using her hearing and touch, she knew the position of Belamis and she ran.

The Medora was tripped by a twig and fell to the ground, but she got out and continued.

"Medora, where are you going ?" Dr. Kitty exclaimed.

Medora ran all the way towards Belamis.

Belamis saw Medora coming, and yelled, "Go away! Don't!"

The monster spitted out flames and nearly hit her.

Belamis saw Medora and said, "No... run away....". Medora shook her head and said in telepathy..."No... you are my friend..."

The monster raised the spiked club and was about to hit at Belamis.

The old memories of her friend Medona flashed back to her.... and the scene of Medona died in her arms resurfaced...the two ran alone in the wild, running away from the monster attacking them, and then the energy blasts nearly hit Medona... Belamis and Medona ran and ran...

Belamis saw Medora ran towards her, and the monster's blasts would hit them... "....Medora!! No...!!!"

Then Belamis eyes welled up in tears, and she remembered their conversations...

"Belamis... go.... just leave me.... and run for you life!" Said Medona.

Belamis immediately said to Medora, "Medora.... leave me..... run for your life!"

"Don't talk like that! We are best friends... I am not leaving without you" Belamis remembered what she said to Medona. Medora then looked at her and shook her head, in telepathy, "... don't say such things..... you are my best friend now... I am not leaving you here..."

"Run... run!!" Belamis remembered she pushed Medona away. She then pushed Medora away just as she did to her best friend before.

Then Belamis remembered.....Medona was hit by the monster's blasts, and fell down.

"Medona! Hang on!! Hang On..... Medona!!" Belamis hold Medona in her arms and wept...

The monster raised the spiked club and about to strike Belamis. Medora threw herself onto Belamis body.

"No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Belamis yelled..........

Then Belamis' forehead glowed.... eyes shot out white light, and her suit was off, then she transformed just in time to the giantess form, and grabbed the spiked club with one hand, and her other hand shielding Medora.

Medora heard the sound and knew Belamis transformed, and tears rolled out her eyes.

Belamis looked at Medora, and said in a low voice... "Me...do...ra..." She flexed her muscles and pushed the monster back with all her might.

The monster spewed out flames from its mouth, Belamis took that blast and roared loudly, hitting the monster with her fists, and then punched the monster, hitting it. The monster retreated.

Belamis picked up Medora and leaped to a spot, and she placed Medora behind a rock for shelter.

Belamis had no weapons but only her body, she charged the monster and leaped up, sending a flying kick to the monster's head, the monster fell to the ground.

Belamis then lifted up the monster and threw it to the ground again. The monster hit back with its spiked club, hitting Belamis left arm. Belamis braved the pain and injury, grabbed both hands of the monster and pushed it away. Belamis and the monster wrestled, and the monster pushed Belamis.

Belamis flexed her muscles, and she was so strong that she could pushed back a gigantic ape nearly twice her size. She then leaped up, and snatched the club from the monster, and hit the monster back, driving it backwards.

Belamis then wrapped her arms round the monster's neck, and grabbed tightly, suffocating it.

The monster struggled, but Belamis was strong, and her arms grabbed so tight that the monster gradually fell, and could not move.

Then Belamis sent out her energy, turning the monster back to an ordinary ape.

Medora was there, though she could not see a thing she heard the sound of the fierce battle, and knew Belamis was injured, and from her telepathy, she knew Belamis was in pain.

Belamis turned and knelt down to her, and said, "...Me..do..ra.."

Medora reached out and touched Belamis hand, and she was crying. Belamis nodded, and then she returned to human form. Medora then hugged Belamis, who was naked and wounded.

Belamis looked at Medora, she smiled and said, "... I am alright..." Medora touched Belamis' strong muscular body, Belamis slowly collapsed, and a drop of tear rolled out the corner of her eye.

Medora placed her hands on Belamis body. She felt Belamis hands, and she moved her hands along Belamis' arms, and felt the muscles on Belamis' arms. Then Medora touched Belamis shoulders, and felt her strong deltoids, and then Medora moved her arms to Belamis chest. Medora wanted to imagine how Belamis' body looked, and she touched Belamis upper pectorals, and just about the moment Medora could touch Belamis' breast, Dr. Kitty came.

Medora took her hands off Belamis body, and blushed.

Dr. Kitty saw all that, and said nothing.

In the research facilities, Belamis was resting, with bandages all over her.

Dr. Kitty and Medora were at Belamis' bedside, and both were worried about Belamis.

Gradually Belamis woke up, and saw Medora and Dr. Kitty, she signed.

Dr. Kitty spoke, "Belamis......." She stop short of saying that Belamis could transform again... for every time Belamis transform it was a dangerous situation, and Belamis would be seriously wounded and suffered.

Medora held Belamis hand and started to cry.

"Don't cry Medora..." Belamis reached out her left hand and touched Medora's face, "I am alright..." Medora hugged Belamis.

Dr. Kitty looked at the two, and fixed her gaze at Medora.
