#6 of Tales of the Stars
Emil was looking out a window to and saw a huge whale come by and fish swimming pass him. Emil continued to look out until, someone from behind said "Hey there!" Emil got surprised and turned around and saw her. A cat that looked like she was his age, she had yellow fur on her and had black fur across her nose, on the fight side of her cheek, and had a paw print on her right eye, she also had a yellow star on her right cheek that was glowing, also having on long pajama shirt that had paw prints on it and long pajama pants that had the same paw print on it.
Emil looked at her as she walked to the window that Emi was standing to that then looked out saying "It's so nice to see fish out in the sea." Emil smiled and than looked out the same window and said "Yea, your right." She then looked at him and said "It's nice to meet you, new Recruit." Emil looked at her and said "My name is Nuko." Emil gave her another smile and said "Can you tell me where I am?" Nuko looked back at him and said "Your on the Intervention group's Tripeace submarine, The hammer head." Emil and Nuko then walked to a bench and they both sat down. Nuko then took something out of her pocket and handed it to Emil and said "Here you go." Emil looked at her with a surprised looked and then took the card that she had handed him. Emil looked at it and saw that his face was on it and information about him, and on the bottom of the card had the numbers "1020784." Emil looked at the numbers and then back to her and said "Um. . .What is this?" Nuko then looked at it and said "That's your ranking in the organization." Emil tilted his head and said "Ranking?" Nuko gave him a smile and looked into her yellow eyes and said "Yes, your ranking. You see, the lower the number, the more important you are!" Emil gave her a glare and said "What's your ranking?" She her head around and said "What's the difference. I shouldn't tell you mine." She then laughed and Emil said "What ranking?" Nuko let out a sigh and said "I'm number 21." Emil put his head down in sadness, Nuko got surprised and patted his back ant said "Hey, don't worry! Your new here so it's normal for you to have a low rank." Emil looked back up at her and said "Thanks for trying to cheer me up." Nuko stop patting his back and said "You shouldn't use this card anyway." Emil got curious and said "Why?" She looked at the ground and then stood up and said "Tripeace is interfering with the war that is happening. So not a lot of people think that we are defenders of justice." Emil looked back down to the ground and didn't say anything else. Nuko looked at him and then said "You should go to the training grounds. That's where your sister is." Emil then looked back up and said "My sister is training?!" Nuko shook her head and then pointed to where to the right and said "Come on let's go see her." Emil shook his head and got up, and then followed Nuko to the training ground.
Diana had on a black short shirt that had the Tripeace's triangle on it, and a black skirt to go with it, also having on a black boots while having a revolver on the left of her paw. She was looking at a white machine and saw that it was about to attack. Finally, the White machine quickly threw it's arm at her, but Diana jumped up into the air and aimed the revolver at the white machines head and shot out a bullet at him. The white machine moved back and dodged the bullet, Diana fell back to the ground but then jumped back and shot more bullets at it while she was moving back. The white machine rushed to the left side and Diana ran to the left side of the room and continued to shooting at it, but it seemed like none of her bullets were hitting it. Emil and Nuko were looking at a safe distance from the two. Diana finally shot a bullet at the white machine, the white machine flew up into the air and Diana shot her last round and the white machine got hit in the head and fell to the ground, once hitting the ground, it blew up. Emil smiled and said "Wow! She's amazing." Nuko however didn't look impressed by it and said "Yes she is good, but she not doing it right." Emil turned to Nuko and said "What do you mean?" Nuko turned to him and said "Listen, I'm am good with using guns. I can tell when she is actually beating those things, but that was just a fluke. Watch and learn." Emil looked at her more, but Nuko turned back to see Diana and finally, he turned back and looked at Diana.
Diana looked around the room to see that it was completely pitch white and she could only see the lines of the wall. Diana was breathing heavily and looked back at her left arm, her left arm was still glowing blue. Suddenly, the walls started to open and a bunch of tentacles shot out of the walls, Diana looked around and then jumped back when she saw one of the tentacles coming at her, but then the side of her clothes ripped when one of the tentacles hit her. Diana put her right paw on her the rip in her shirt and then started to shoot the tentacles, but she continued to miss. Diana then screamed when the left side of her shirt was ripped when a tentacle hit her, she then fell to her knees and started to breath more heavily. Suddenly, two on the tentacles shot out and grabbed both of her wrist and two other tentacles she shot out and grabbed her ankles, Diana struggled, but she was to weak to get out of the tentacles grips. Emil got surprised and started to move to Diana, but was stopped by Nuko. Emil yelled "What are you doing?!" Nuko looked at him and said "Wait, she needs to learn this on her own." Emil was getting furious, but stopped when he looked into Nuko's yellow eyes and saw the trust in her eyes and stopped saying "Ok, I trust you." Diana struggled even more, but nothing seemed to work and then, the tentacles started to grip even more on her wrist and ankles, Diana then screamed in pain and dropped her revolver and finally, Diana passed out.
Diana woke up to see herself in a pitch white room the had nothing on it. Diana looked around and then saw someone a distance away from her. She saw someone that looked like her, but had blue hair, mane, and tail, also having blue eyes as well. Diana looked at her and then the other Diana said "What is your true happiness?" Diana looked confused and said "What?" The other Diana stared at her with a blank expression and said "You don't have any happiness." Diana looked at her and then gave her a worried smile and said "What are you talking about. I have happiness!" The other Diana shook her head and said "No. You have nothing to live for, you can't fight in this state. Your true state is when you are happy. I know you are not." Diana looked at the ground and she gripped her fist, the other Diana said "You know this. You can't fight when you are not happy. You feel sad, lonely, because she is gone. Am I right?" Tears started to fall down from Diana's face and then she said "Your right. I know that I can't fight in this state. I know that I'm weak. And I know. . .That I miss my mother." The other Diana didn't say anything and Diana looked back up at her with tears in her eyes, but looked at her with and angry expression and said "But I don't care! As long as I am happy and others are happy, I don't care! I will fight on even if it kills me!" The other Diana looked to the ground and then, she smiled and looked back up and said "You. . .Have found your happiness." The other Diana then disappeared into Diana's right paw and then, the glowing on her hand stopped and a star came on the back of her paw. She looked at it more closely and saw that it had turned into a star. And finally, Diana disappeared out of the white room and suddenly opened her eyes.
Diana has finally shown her true feelings, but will that save her from the trouble that she is in? You'll have to see on the next Chapter!
