The Triple Date Disaster

Chapter 29: Let The Games Begin

They followed Amora into the cave, it looked like a diamond mine.  These must be where they fined the dust.  Why would Ash be in here?  Another thought that intrigued their minds was why she said to be prepared for what they might see.  What, aside from Ash, could be so scary in this cave?

It was Travis that later remembered the cave they found Zane in.  The one with memories all over the wall.  What if this was another extension of that?  Who knows.. maybe they were part of a whole cave system!

They walked for about half an hour before they reached a bigger area of cave with more room in it.  As they looked up to the ceiling it almost looked like a dome, and more diamonds, or what what they thought were diamonds were scattered through out the walls.  

Amora took them to a set of stairs that were in the far wall of the cave, and began to walk up them.  Not bothering to look back and make sure the rest were following.  

The stairs weren't that steep, but they were  very slippery.  Every once in a while someone would slip and fall about a step or two.  They always fell forward and slid down a few steps, so no real damage was made.  They still wondered what made them so slippery.  Also how some how Amora hasn't slipped once.

When they finally reached the top, they realized it was night.  They looked up at the sky, with stars scattered through out the deep blue galaxy, almost appearing black.  It wasn't until Aaron saw the moon that there seemed to be a problem.  Just like he did all the other times he saw it, he got a huge headache.

Aaron placed his fingers on his temples, and Amora took notice of this.

"Are you okay?  I'm sorry what was your name" She asked.  "Aaron" he replied.  

"Are you alright?"

"Oh let me guess!" Travis said with a mocking tone in his voice, "The multi colored moon is giving you a headache again."

Zane shot Travis a nasty look.  That was very uncalled for.  Aaron wanted to give him a shut-your-face kind of a look too but his head was hurting to much.  He decided the best he could do to get him back at this moment was simply not acknowledge him.

Amora however, was very curious in what Travis said.  "What do you mean the multi colored moon?" She asked.

Not wanting Travis to make things worse than what they already were between him and Aaron right now, Zane took the liberty of responding.  

"Around the time we saw the... 'ghosts' of the girls Aaron claimed the moon was different colors.  He's also been getting these weird headaches periodically.  We don't know what has been causing them."

Travis rolled his eyes as if the whole thing was ridiculous.  When Amora looked up, the moon looked regular to her.  White and gray just like it has always been.

Then a thought came to her.  She remembered something else she read in the diaries that had a very similar scenario to this.  She hoped it wasn't true, cause that meant they would have to go alone.  That was something she did not want to happen.

"Aaron... are you an ultima?"

Zane and Travis exchanged a look, a little worried at the question.  Aaron just nodded his head.

"That means your eyes see things differently, as well as change people.  What colors do you see?"

Aaron's head hurt so much, and his vision was going blurry.  Maybe it was a migraine?  Even though it hurt to move, he told her.  "Purple, Blue, and Pink"

"By any chance are those the girl's favorite colors?"

He nodded.

She let out a big breath she wasn't aware she was holding.  That wasn't good.  Now she knew why Ein needed all that dust.
