Chereads / Yume: Adventures Inside A Man's Dream / Chapter 12 - Chapter 12: Starlight

Chapter 12 - Chapter 12: Starlight

Somewhere... Where air, gravity, and everything to see weren't existent...

"Ufufufu... Planet Chime, isn't? Sure! As long as it's colorful as the legends have said, for I, will take a visit to find it out herself! Ready? Stars, Collide!!!"

Hi, this is Marco. After obtaining our 2nd ingredient, me and Vlera were about to depart for our 3rd ingredient. It was our plan... if we weren't stucked in this situation... Three yellow-long-haired alien with the same body were invading our planet. You might be thinking, What happened? It started few hours ago...

4AM

Ygard Village, outside of the Western Division of Branch

While I was in a tight slumber on a sofa while Vlera was on the bed, a sudden earthquake woke the entire Ygard Village.

...

"What... Is it?"

"I heard a meteor fell."

After asking the residents, we found out that a meteor have fell meters ahead, both Vlera and I joined the few who were about to approach the meteor, and what we saw... is a large meteor enough for one people to live. By it's size, it was a miracle that the meteor never did such a damage unlike those in the news, in fact, it barely made a pit, from there, two hours have passed and the local police had investigated the meteor.

...

"Time to leave, Marco."

"Yes."

After sleeping for a little more, we took our meal and immediately packed our things to leave the village. Forest, monsters, and everything got in our way in which we easily took care of. It was when... when this oddly looking alien interrupted us...

"Fellow humans! May I make my introduction. My name is Starlight, ready to put stars in your head as I destroy this planet! Stars, Intertwine!!!"

A yellow haired, blue on the right, red on the left eyed alien did a powerful laser after charging unknown energy and sending it to us. Both Vlera and I was surprised of her powers, but her next attack wasn't comparable to what she just did.

"Re, Blu, out!"

After expanding her arms, two more copies of her came out of her body, as we noticed, the girl in the middle had her eyes turn into yellow.

"Ugh, just after that laser, I knew she wasn't a good enemy, now there's 3 of them."

"Marco, focus."

Using what I've learnt, I faced the blue eyed girl while Vlera faced the girl with the red eyes, the girl with the yellow eyes just watched as we suffer.

"HAHAHA! There, there!"

While we're fighting her copies, she did nothing but to laugh and laugh. Every hit we made, is nothing compared to their fist covered in the same unknown energy, every hit, it releases a glitter that floats in the air, we retreated back and got our backs covered with each other.

"They're tough!"

"Wait for a little longer, I called Cecilio and would be here in any minute."

"Huh? Don't he gets burn by sunlight?"

"No, he just have a trauma of it after Teacher sent him to the sun because of his fault."

After our short conversation, the girl spoke that made us put our guard up.

"Taking time, means for me to wait?! Lucky for you to me to allow it! Rainshower!"

After her command, two of her clones gathered the floating glitters everywhere and sent it all to us.

"Move!"

But it was too late, it was as fast as the sound and it sent us flying through a tree.

"Aghk!"

"Ugh."

After seeing as the both of us fell from the tree, she approached us with a visible blank-dissapointed face.

"For my actions earlier, I seek the deepest forgiveness."

Just after a short tight fight, she suddenly stopped the fight and surrendered, me and Vlera was confused until she spoke.

"For Humans to fight a litteral Star like me, it was unfair that you're not the type of being I should be fighting right now. Although my actions earlier were bad, my true intention is far from your expectations."

To prove what she said, she finally called her two clones in which in entrance, her eye color changed to blue in the right, red in the left, thus, showing her 'true color'.

"May I redo my introduction?"

During our confusion, she asked a thing in which we agreed.

"My name is Starlight, the Starry-Eyed Starshine. My entity is those of a Star, but I was given the ability to "humanize" myself and now I'm here for my task."

If you're still wondering of her looks, she had a very long yellow hair with an eye color that I just said many times already, her height was of those of a 15 years old girl making her the smallest between me and Vlera. If you want some reference, why not check Zoe from League of Legends?(She unintentionally became a reference without the Author noticing it.)

"Oh... Starlight, doesn't?"

"Yep, yep!"

"I wonder... How old are you?"

Considering her height, It was normal for me to ask her age... Right?

"Hm... How many hours a day and days a year this planet have?"

"24 hours a day, 365 days a year."

"Hm... Maybe... A thousand years old or more!"

After asking an easy question, her answer gave us an uneasy reaction.

"What's the problem?"

"Hm... I don't see any problem, so... Friends?"

"Friends!"

After we did a high-five, Vlera took me and told me something.

"Isn't she kind of suspicious? She literally tried to kill us a minute ago!"

After looking at an innocent Starlight, she just smiled and tilted her head.

"I could hear what you're saying!"

"Look! I'm whispering this way! How could she hear me?! She isn't a normal person, she's an alien!"

"Nope! I'm not an alien, but a Star!"

"For hell I would believe her! Marco, let's leave!"

After Vlera grabbed me to leave her behind, Starlight came in speed to stop us.

"Didn't you just said that we're friends?!"

"No! It's just... This girl...!"

"For this, you'll witness my true form!"

While the rocks were levitating, both me and Vlera were shaking in our stead as Starlight came into rage, seconds later, and a blinding light entered our vision.

"Stop, STOOOOP!"

After hearing my pleased request, the light she were emitting was weakened and everything that levitated fell.

"Ugh... Wha-"

After knowing, she was a tiny ball of light.

"Hi! This is Starlight, a Neutron Star!"

After everything finally calmed down, the laws of physics came into realization of what a neutron star could do.

"AHHHH!"

Because of her, the situation became even more intense after a neutron star like her destroyed everything around us.

"Uh... what's happening?"

"You. Stop! Return back... To your human... Form!!!"

"Oh? Human form? Sure! Starlight, Human Form!"

During her transformation, she emitted another blinding light that made us be flash banged for a matter of minutes. After her transformation, she quickly became the human Starlight, finally, everything went back to normal.

...

"Ah..."

After I calmed Vlera down in a tree, I came to check Starlight who has smiling all this time.

"Listen, I expect you to be more mature by noticing your age and not by your height, but... You act like a little kid!"

"Why? What's the problem? I act like this all the time!"

"Ugh, her cuteness, I can't take it..."

If I ever have said already, she was a cute little ball of sunshine ready to destroy the word depression. I grabbed her shoulders and told her,

"Okay, you're a thousand years old neutron star."

"Yes... but maybe more than a million..."

"You came to Chime for your task..."

"Yup!"

"But I wonder... What's your task?"

"Simple, to observe human beings!"

"Eh?"

After hearing what she just said, it made me tilt my head and asked another thing.

"To observe us humans?"

"Yup! As you can see, I have three personalities; Re, Blu and Me, Starlight! We are originally Sister Stars, but as time went by, they became myself and turned them into my eye! Recently, Blu found this planet and suggested to visit it, she also found out that there are hostiles that are unnecessary to be existent so Re was fired to visit this planet, and as the girl who own this body, I agreed as well."

"Wow, you made it to sound like it's so simple to you."

"Yeah, because we live to travel everything, right, Re?"

After calling, her red left eye ate her blue right eye.

"Yes, Starlight, if she were the cheerful, I'm the one with the most violent intent! Again, for my actions earlier, I'm very sorry."

After her line, her eyes suddenly became blue.

"And now, I'm Blu, if Starlight was the cheerful and Re's the violent, I'm the simple-minded or calm of them all. You could say I was the one in control when Starlight became serious out of a sudden."

And after Blu's line, her eyes came back to red and blue.

"And here I am, Starlight!"

"Wow you're so awesome!"

"I know right! Do you want to know the story behind us?"

"Uh... Sure."

"Back in the day, we caused nothing but destructions in the planet we're orbiting, to avoid it, we decided to choose the perfect star to own the other two and they picked the one with the most uncommon attitude, Me!"

Once again, she made her story sound so simple.

"Your trip must've been so fun with three of you travelling planets to planets doesn't?"

"Yup! But you, do you have something to do in life?"

"Well... Vlera, I'm gonna need your help..."

And after taking an hour, Starlight finally understood my story.

"Ohhhh, A DREAM! HEY, RE, WE'RE IN SOMEONE'S DREAM!" -Starlight

"Oh, really? Then killing him would wake him up? Too bad!" -Re

"Unfortunately, Re, no. He had a curse in which he can't go back in his real life until the curse was lifted." -Starlight

"Then it means we have to help him in his mission." -Blu

After Blu's sentence, it gave us the same energy of thought and...

"Hey, Marco, you sure you want to add her in our team?"

"Why not Vlera?"

"YAAAY!(ADVENTURE!)"

"YAAAAAAY!(I HEARD THERE'S MONSTERS HERE SO IT MEANS TO KILL!)"

"Yay, I guess...(I hope Starlight don't forget our main task, good thing I exist.)"

After a sudden event, three entities entered our party, with Starlight, Re, and Blu's help, my goal was dragged closer into achieving. We dig deeper into the forest and I could sense Re's violent energy within Starlight's body.

— End of Chapter 12

In the distance, was an eagle lying in the ground...

"That... Light... So bright. It's so bright it could kill me in an instant..."

Because of Starlight's Ray of Positive Energy, it shone through Cecilio who was concealing his bat-form into an eagle to avoid the sunlight, too bad, Starlight's energy was too bright for him to take. Cecilio was now an abandoned bat in the forest after Starlight once again stole Vlera and Marco's attention that made them forget Cecilio.
