Satellite Shooting Star

Chapter 5: A Whole Other World

"Sir! The subject has opened it's eyes!"

"Increase the brainwashing! Make sure it is never again reversed!"

"Sir, subject's life signs are far too weak!"

"Increase it now!" Sayer demanded.

"Subject is losing consciousness!" She exclaimed. "Stopping brainwashing process immediately!"

Sayer growled before stomping out of the room, the woman running to my side. "Put her in a cell block room!"

"Forgive me, Samantha... Are you able to stand?"

"I think I can manage..." I slowly got to my feet, but I was very dizzy as the woman put my arm around her neck to hold me up.

"You're too weak to walk on your own."

Once we were in one of the cell block rooms, I was laid down on a bed. She then left and locked the door behind herself. I sighed as I felt extremely weak. My eyes slipped closed as my consciousness faded...

-Spirit World-

When I opened my eyes , it looked like I was in some kind of forest. I was confused as I walked forward. I kept on walking until I saw something on the ground. Was that...clothing? It was. But it wasn't just any clothing, it was my old outfit! I took off my Arcadia uniform and put on the clothes I found. It was my usual outfit, but instead of the Team Satisfaction vest and arm belts, my vest was black and almost looked identical to my brown one. It was short sleeve and had the belt on the bottom that was still the same length as my blue shirt that exposed my midsection and my black, fingerless gloves. My top was frilly with the frill pointing upwards as it exposed a bit of cleavage, which I couldn't help; guess my chest got bigger over the years...

(A\N: Couldn't help myself! *laughs*)

Once I was in my new outfit, I set the uniform down and kept moving until I came to a town. The door was locked, preventing me from going through. I thought for a moment, until it hit me. I lifted my hand and placed it on the door, closing my eyes. The door then opened as I went through it, until I was yanked into an alley.

"Shhh!" A little boy said who looked like a tiny wizard.

My gaze left him as it turned to a couple of monkey soldiers. They went separate ways, obviously looking for something, or someone... When they passed, we both came out of hiding.

"Whew! That was a close one!"

"Sorry, but do you know where I am?" I asked.

"Why, you're in the Spirit World!"

"Spirit what?"

"Ohhhh! You must be one of the very rare people with the power to travel and communicate with this world!" He said. "My name is Torunka and I'm a very powerful wizard! Or at least I was until Zeman turned me into a child and restricted my powers in this form..."

"Maybe I can help?" I suggested.

"Oh, can you? A girl by the name of Luna is here too. She is special, like you, but got captured by Zeman's goons and I need your help to rescue her. Can you help me?"

"I'll do what I can." I said. "My name is Samantha, by the way, Samantha Vendetta, but everyone just calls me Sam."

"Great! Zeman's castle is northwest of here, so let's get going!"

When we reached the castle, it wasn't hard sneaking in, but then again, I'm from the Satellite Sector and sneaking in and out of places was basically a skill you needed back in the slums.

"You're pretty good at this!" Torunka whispered.

"Well sneaking in and out of places is something you need to know when you grow up on the streets." I whispered back.

"You grew up on the streets?" He asked, surprised.

"Yeah. I wasn't born in the city. But I prefer the streets anyway... Come on, let's hurry and find Luna."

It took a while to navigate the castle while avoiding all the monkey soldiers, but we finally found where Luna was being kept as I approached the door. I placed my hand on the door and closed my eyes. When I heard the locked click, I opened my eyes again and turned the knob as it opened. I saw a little girl in a pink outfit and real green hair in pigtails as she turned to me.

"Oh! You must be the other person Ancient Fairy Dragon told me about! You wouldn't by any chance be here to rescue me, would you?"

"I am."

"Great! Then my call did reach you! My name is Luna."

"Sam."

"Well, Sam, we should get out of here. I still have someone to find named Regulus."

"Then let's go." I said as we all left. Once out of the castle, we ended up in the fountain plaza.

"Glad we made it outta there in one piece..." Luna said.

"Now where do we find Regulus?" I asked.

"I know!" Torunka shouted. "Go east of here to the other side of the forest!"

"Ok, but at least calm down before you get is caught..." I said before we all went on our way.

When we found Regulus, he wasn't himself. Everything we said to him was the opposite as he tried to attack Torunka. I had to distract him to try and attack me while Luna used Torunka's staff to reverse the negative effect of the Minus Staff clamped to his leg. He then remembered his purpose as w spoke to us.

"Oh, it is you two. You're the ones with the special power to help bring this world back to peace?" He said.

"That's right. My name is Luna."

"And I'm Sam."

"Yes, I remember now. Ancient Fairy Dragon and Galaxy Nova Dragon told me about you two... Anyways, the two of you are here to help this world, as I have been told, but right now, your world is in danger. The two of you must first work on your world before you come back and release Ancient Fairy Dragon."

"Understood." We both said in unison.

"Oh! Sam, were are you in the real world?" Luna asked me.

"Back at the Arcadia Movement."

"Really? I'm there too! Do you think you can help me out? The room I'm locked in is near the far right on the tenth floor."

"I know where that is. I'm on that same floor."

"That's great! Sorry for making you save me in both worlds..."

"Don't worry about it, besides, I've got a score to settle..."

"Then let's not waste any time! Grab my hands and close your eyes."

I did as Luna asked and grabbed her hands, closing her eyes. When I opened my eyes again, I was still in my cell block room. I quickly got up and ran to a mirror, seeing myself in my Arcadia uniform.

I glared at my reflection. "Sayer... You'll pay for using me!"
