Sophie realized suddenly that she hadn't told Astral just why she'd released her. Aqua can save Xinoehp, but she won't, she thought to her sister. She didn't say anything more. 

Astral perked up, pleased that her bluff had worked and that she had been correct. She was also utterly livid. "You really are lying, aren't you?" she giggled. "Well, then. I've never gotten to torture a Seon before. This should be good fun." 

Aqua sniffed. Michael stiffened. "Astral..." he said in a low, panicked tone.

Aqua shrieked, and a enormous volume of water exploded from her. Astral and Michael were both knocked backwards by the torrent.

"No!" wailed Michael as Aqua began to drift upwards. "Don't go!"

Not one to be thrown off so easily, Astral, the pile of black goo, reached as far upward as she could, desperate to envelop the Seon and trap her. 

Sophie sat quietly, picking at the grass. She'd failed, hadn't she? Despite everything, she'd failed to save him. She couldn't cry anymore. She just couldn't.

Commander carrot and his forces had tracked the Champion for a good three weeks. Three weeks of following tracks from dawn till dusk, sleeping outside, and eating hardtack. But all that was behind them now. They stood before a cave. The cave's entrance was wreathed in shadows, and it exuded an aura of unhealthiness. Commander Carrot gulped, then nodded to private mango: "Well, what are you waiting for? get  in there already!" Private Mango started, then said: "Y-y-y-e-e-s s-s-s-sir. O-of course s-sir." He gripped his sword more carefully and entered the cave.

Sophie covered her ears with her hands, though she knew it wouldn't do anything. It was more instinctual than anything. "Go away..." she muttered. But, wait a second.

Aqua was leaving? What was going on out there?

She turned around and was horrified to see Astral trying to haul the Seon back. Her face fell. Oh, Author, she hadn't meant for it to go this far. She didn't want anyone to get hurt. But... Well, why else had she let Astral free? Her heart broke a little bit and she wilted, gravely disappointed in herself. Sophie, you really are no hero. Still, she couldn't let this go on. She let down her forcefield. 

"Astral, stop it!" she said. She felt weaker than she had before, movements lethlargic. "Let her go. I'll get Aqua to help, just let her go. Please." And, to her surprise, Astral did stop. A head formed out of the sludge, with hair that melted back into the goo.

"Fine." Astral formed back into her body the rest of the way. 

Sophie looked up at Aqua and sniffed. "Please don't," she said miserably. "I'm sorry. I'm really sorry."

Aqua was quiet for moments longer.

Why should I help you? she said at last in a small voice. You don't care about me... Her light dimmed. Nobody cares about me, she whispered.

But that was irrelevant. FT paced across the battlefield. The army had been vanquished, but the Champion was no where to be seen, and the two gods had also withdrawn. "The carrots aren't back yet, shouldn't they be back???"

After the screams stopped, Commander Carrot looked around at the brave heroic cowardly, quivering, wrecks his troops had become. He wet his lips, then spoke: "All right, who wants to go next?"
