Capital Girls: Game On!

HetaFire Pt. 7

Warning, a bit of feels towards the end. 

After explaining the situation to the two, Amelia then noticed the chest behind the girls. "What's that?" She asked them.

"We're not really sure," Natie replied as Amelia went over to it.

"We were told to guard it from you three," Chen remembered.

Slowly, Amelia opened the chest to find two little crystals inside. She carefully took them out of the chest and showed them to the others. "That's what we were protecting?" Natie questioned.

"Those must be the crystals Andrea was talking about," Emma pieced together.

Suddenly, they began to glow and blind the girls. They covered their eyes as the light shined brighter and brighter. When the light finally died down, the group of five found themselves back in the room with the other portals. "What the-" Chen said.

"I get it; after getting the crystals, we were teleported back here." Amelia said.

"I'm still confused on what's going on," Chen said, rubbing her head.

"Me too," Natie agreed.

Amelia sighed. This was going to be a long trip.

**********

So the fire world was...disgusting to say the least. The five capitals stayed close together in the unknown area as they prepared for anything really. Amelia wasn't very frightened by the place, but that didn't stop chills from going down her spine. I hope we can find the others soon, She thought as they made their way to a green orb on a column. Natie poked at it but nothing happened. "Looks like it's dead." Amelia theorized. "We need to find something to power it up."

One search that led to twists, turns, and a monster or two, later, the girls found the orb they were looking for. They placed it up to the dead green orb they found before and were suddenly teleported to another area.

"Do you think we're any croser to finding the others?" Naomi asked.

"Maybe," Amelia answered. "We have to stay on guard though. Remember, they are not themselves. They believe that they are "better" now. This could lead to some trouble."

What followed was climbing up and down many vines and going through separate holes. However, the five capitals did find a chess with four elixirs in it and note a from Oliver, telling them to use it against their opponents. "So Oliver is a good guy, aru?" Chen asked.

Amelia nodded. "He saved Father. He's not like the other copies. He didn't want any of this. Alex did."

Soon the girls found themselves standing in front of Resi and Alise, aka Katrina and Allison. The two weren't particullary "glad" to see them. "What 'appened to you two?" Alise growled, looking at Chen and Natie. "You've become weak again."

"Well we like who we are," Chen stated. "You and Katrina know that this isn't right, aru."

"So vhat?" Resi growled with her arms crossed. "Do you really think you can beat us?"

"Hai, we can," Naomi replied confidently. She did not like seeing her friend like this. If Katrina really knew what was going on, she would be appalled at the person she had become. "We're going to get you both back to the way you were."

Alise and Resi looked at each other before laughing. They could take on the five girls no problem. Their threats were empty to them. Oh if only they knew the secret weapon that Amelia was carrying with her. However, Amelia knew that this was not going to be like before. She knew Allison and Katrina were not going to be easy to get back.

"Natie, Emma," she whispered to the Russian and Canadian. "I want you to charge Katrina and hold her down no matter what." She then turned to Chen and Naomi. "I need you guys to do the same to Allison. While they're down, I'll get the antidote to them."

The four nodded and got ready. Alise and Resi were puzzled as they looked at the capitals, wondering what they were going to do. Before they had time to blink, Chen and Naomi moved at lightning fast speed and tackled Alise to the ground. "Get off me you fools!" she shouted at the cousins, who did not listen.

Resi's attention was distracted just long enough for Natie to tackle her to the ground as well. She too struggled in Natie and Emma's grasp. "Get off me!" Resi growled with anger.

"Not a chance comrade,"Natie answered.

"Trust us Katrina, you'll thank us later," Emma told her.

When the two girls were rendered still, Amelia went up to the two and used the antidote on them. They screamed in agony, but Amelia knew that it was for their own good. Soon they started to change back to normal. They both blinked in confusion when they saw that they were being held down. "What is going on 'ere?" Allison questioned as she looked around.

"Vhy are ve being held down on the ground?" Katrina also asked.

"Thank goodness, you're back to normal as well," Amelia sighed.

"Back to normal?" Allison asked.

"It's a long story aru," Chen said.

"One you wirr find hard to berieve," Naomi added.

*****************

Now with four crystals, the group of now seven made their way to the demon world portal. It wasn't as frightening as Amelia thought it would be. In fact, it looked like just a castle corridor. "Okay, not what I'd expect from a supposed "demon world"," Emma spoke.

"Yes, quiet right," Amelia agreed. "Still, we need to stay on our toes. We don't know what Andrea will do."

So nothing much really happened. They walked around looking for the two remaining girls, not really sure what to expect out of the whole thing. It was going to be a tough battle, that was for sure. Then the seven capitals finally made it to where the two girls were...and was that a chimera behind Andrea?!

"Well, well, well," Andrea snickered. "Princess actually got the four crystals she needed to get here." Andrea then looked at the other five. "And you brought some back-up with you."

"First of all, don't call me Princess," Amelia straightened out. "Second of all, it's over Amanda. Give up."

"Oh Amelia, you don't seem to get it, do you?" Chiara said. "Just because you're getting people back doesn't mean you've won."

"What do you mean?" Allison questioned.

"Didn't Amelia, Naomi, or Emma tell you about France?" Chiara sneered.

Everyone turned their attention to Amelia, who gulped. She hadn't told them about France; one, because she didn't have time; and two, because she knew it would devastate Allison for sure. The others also looked at Emma and Naomi, who clammed up instantly.

"Oh? They didn't tell you?"

"Tell us what?" Allison asked her best friend. "What didn't you tell us, Amelia?"

Amelia fiddled with her hands. She just couldn't bring herself to say it. Emma and Naomi didn't say anything either, unsure of how to deliver the news to Allison. So Andrea said it instead; "Since Princess and her entourage here won't say it, I will; France is dead!"

The four capitals that had just been changed back gasped in shock and looked at Amelia, Emma, and Naomi for confirmation. Allison began to shake. She had to be lying, right? Her Papa couldn't have been dead, right?! She heard Alex tell her so before she was turned, but he was lying, right?! "Amelia, she's lying, isn't she?" Allison asked, tears getting ready to spill from her eyes.

Amelia gulped before looking at her friend with sympathy. This was going to kill her to say this; "I'm sorry Allison. France is dead...America told us that he was killed by the copies."

Allison didn't say anything. She just sunk to the floor and wailed out in pain. How could this be true?! How could her Papa, the man who saved her from her abusive grandparents, be dead?!

"PAPA!" Allison wailed as buckets of water streamed from her eyes.

This was heartbreaking to write...Time to get to the emo corner and rethink everything.
