Chapter 3:

"What was that Aisu?" Celeste asks after another piercing scream.

"How am I supposed to know?" Aisu replies coldly. "The only way to know is to find out." She adds. Quickly, without telling Celeste what she was doing, Aisu starts to run in the direction of the scream.

"Aisu! Wait up!" Celeste yells. She starts running quickly after Aisu. Suddenly she finds herself on the floor. "Why'd you stop?" she asks as she holds her side and gets up slowly.

"That's why." Aisu replies shortly. She points to a stone sword covered in blood.

Celeste gasps. "I-is it. . . . . ." she stutters.

"Yes, it's blood." Aisu says quietly.

Celeste slowly walks up to the sword. "This stone sword is extremely poisonous." She observes.

"A hardened stone sword that is extremely powerful and poisonous?" Aisu recollects. "I've heard of it before. Mama always talked highly of Serenity-sama, and once told me about an extremely powerful, yet poisonous sword that protected the princess. It was like the princess' guardian." She explains.

"Could this be that sword?" Celeste asks curiously.

"What do you think? I've never heard of any other sword that fits our descriptions!" Aisu replied hotly.

"Right. . . right." Celeste says quietly as she picks up the sword. "Dang this thing is heavy!" she grunts.

"What do you expect? It's stone, remember?" Aisu says with a sarcastic tone of voice.

"Come on! This way!" Ramya yells back at Tryphena.

"We aren't all in track you know!" Tryphena pants.

"I'm not in track! I just excersize a lot!" Ramya calls behind her.

"That just proves how out of shape I'm in!" Tryphena jokes.

Ramya stops running when they reach the entrance. ""I heard it come from over there." She says as she points to a bunch of pillars.

"Right." Tryphena says while nodding her head.

"Sakura!!!!!!!" Altair whined.

"Shut up! Just follow me!" Sakura hissed back.

"But!" Altair started. She was cut off by another scream.

"It came from over there!" Sakura observes. She points to a clutter of pillars. "Come on." She adds quickly. Altair nods frightenedly and reluctantly follows Sakura.

"I said stay away!" Solange screams again. This time, a strange glow emits from her body.

"What the. . . . ?" the blue haired lady from before curses. Jumping quickly into the air she dodges the light. "Crud, they're starting to awaken!" she mutters.

"Hey! Leave her alone!" A hot-tempered voice yells from behind.

The lady sighs. "Oh shut up you pathetic little girl." She yells.

"I'm not pathetic! And I'm definitely not little!" Sakura screams.

"Who the heck are you?" Tryphena demands.

"And what the heck do you want?!" Ramya chimes in angrily.

"Well, well, well. I see your mother's weren't very fond of me. Otherwise they would've told you about me while they had a chance." The lady responds.

"What the heck do you mean?! All of our mothers are still alive you imbosil!" Sakura says angrily.

"And exactly how do you know that?" the lady replies. "I'm Lana, Queen of what is left of the Elemental Universe!" she announces.

"What do you mean?" Altair asks, her voice quivering.

"I mean, my dear, that all of you are now orphans, and have no kingdom of your own!" Lana exclaims, followed by a high-pitched laughter.

Ramya covers her ears. "Gosh! You have the most annoying voice in the world you witch!" she says, taking her chances on how Lana might react.

"I know! Isn't it wonderful?" she replies with a cold smile. "Now, let's see. . . . where are the other two?" she asks.

"Right here!" Celeste announces from a dark shadow, holding the sword carefully.

"Ah! Now, all seven are together, what a sweet ending it will be for you." Lana states cooly. "Seven little girls, that would eventually grow up to beat me. How sweet this victory will be. They haven't even found their true powers yet." She adds with another evil laugh. "Now, hold still, this won't hurt me as much as it's going to hurt you!" she says, holding her hands in the air. A wave suddenly forms above her head a topples over each of the girls, leaving nothing left but cold, limp bodies.
