Chapter 8 - April-4 The Midnight Showdown Part 1
(Don't kill meeeeeeeeeeeee...... I have been soooooooooo busy!! I'm sooooooooo sorry it's taken me so long to writeeee!! GOMENASAIII!!)
Crystal blinked her icy blue eyes, her chest was tight, and her face was solemn and serious. It was 11:43, in only a matter of minutes she would be faced with one of the biggest battles she had ever encountered! Earlier through the day, her brother and friends had given her all the power she needed, they had charged her up with strength, energy, magic, and most importantly.....love. With the caring support of all her friends she knew she would win, she had to! What could be stronger then the love of the ones your heart kept close to you? Crystal struggled to keep her mind focused on charging her magic, ......because that was all she had! She didn't have any backup or anything! No teams, healers, or sidekicks! ..........Just her and the White Chantix Crystal.
Taking a deep breath, Crystal stepped up to the windowsill and opened the window, she was nearly knocked over from the impact of the roaring wind. A cool breeze rippled through her face.......it felt so good.
I better enjoy it, she thought, this may be the last time I'd ever feel a winter breeze on my face.
Crystal's thoughts were interupted when she heard someone calling her name. The voice seemed distance,.........but then, she wasn't really all there anyways. Crystal spun around, blinking curiously.
"................Shiushiu...".
Crystal's lip trembled as she gazed into the red eyes of her beloved hedgehog, her best friend for life.
Shadow's unblinking stare was fixed on her,-he to, also appeared to be on the verge of tears.
"...Cryssy...".
With a strangled sob, Crystal fell into the hedgehog's arms in a tearful heap.
"Sh-Shiushiu, I-I'm..........scared".
Shadow smiled and smoothed her hair affectionately, "Now now Cryssy.....you will be alright, just have faith in yourself..."
Crystal smiled and pulled away from his arms. "I suppose you are right..........I must believe, especially if my friends believe in me..".
Shadow nodded, then turned to glance at the clock, 11:48, Midnight Fog would be here very soon to come pick her up. (that sounds funny XD!)
Crystal sighed, "I only wish I could say an individual good-bye to everyone who's in this house right now."
Shadow grinned, "Well then, why don't you?" He pulled away from the doorway revealing a bunch of people behind him, all sniffling with brave (and most likely forced) smiles on their faces.
Crystal's eyes quivered in their sockets, ".........Mina.." She whispered with a small gasp. She wiped her eyes and wrapped her arms around Espio and Coco, the two people that were the closest to her. (meaning right in front of her.)
Coco hugged back tightly, bawling his eyes out. Espio just sort of stood there staring at the ground, his eyes moist.
Majorika flew up to her on her dustpan, she sniffed in and pressed her stubby green hands to her eyes. ".................Sooooo this is it? You're leaving?" Her lip trembled, and she bit her lip to hold back her tears.
Crystal threw her arms around the little magical frog, ignoring the tears in her own eyes.
"Not for very long.....only a mere few hours! Don't worry about me Ricchan, I'll be fine...." She snuggled the little green frog close to her face. "Daisuki Ricchan....."
Crystal gently pushed Majorika into the crowd and gazed at everybody else, wiping her eyes. "So mina, Do you have anything else to say before I depart to the nothing?"
Dib stepped up in front of her and hesitated, "...ummm......good luck! You'll bring GIR back right? And you'll come back all safe and sound!"
Crystal starred down at Dib for a few moments blinking, ".........Right!...Well mina, you can all go now, I need to prepare for the last few minutes, okay?"
One by one people started to exit the doorway, and Shadow made his way through the crowd, and into her room.
"Well...........See you?"
Crystal nodded silently, then turned to gaze out at the stars. "...Yeah, I won't be gone long, like I said, I estimate I'll be back within a few hours!"
For a few moments nobody spoke, then Crystal broke the silence.
"Shiushiu?"
".....Yeah?"
Crystal walked slowly over to Shadow, grabbed his hand and covered it with hers.
Shadow stared up at her blinking in confusion.
Crystal uncovered his hand and took a step back.
In the palm of Shadow's hand., was a moon shard, it had a blueish color, and it glinted with rainbow prism colors.
"Cryssy, isn't this-"
"Yes, it's a shard from my Crystal, I want you to have it Shadow........just in case I don't come back, you'll have this to remember me by..."
Shadow nodded in approval and stared up at Crystal waiting to hear what else she had to say.
Crystal stared at him, her expression flat and emotionless, she nodded towards the door and he quietly exited the room, shutting the door behind him.
Crystal closed her eyes as the clock struck midnight, the bells chimed.......the bells of death.
She opened them only when she felt the presence of a spirit in the room, and met face to face with Midnight Fog.
"....You ready princesss?" he rasped.
Crystal didn't say anything, only nodded in approval, as a black mist swirled around her, swallowing her and bringing her to the nothing.
