Chapter 57 - Chapter57: Departure to Saturn's rings

Two days later...

"Thanks for helping Hikaru earlier" Shirogane approached the prince without malice or caution.

"Get back!" Hikaru flung Shirogane to the ground, escaping the passing hydrogen arrow.

"Were only allies for now..., I won't forget how you butchered me" Feather forced her hand upon the healing wound oozing with demonic energy.

The prince rushed to his subordinate's side.

His body shifted knocking Feather to the ground.

"So Shirogane you said that Monsuta will protect the city until you return, do you know when that will be?" Prince Rast questioned, kicking Feather's bow away.

"Once our mission is complete we both have something to do elsewhere, so once we find Mirai and Daku then he will return" Hikaru answered in Shirogane's place, once again taking over discussions.

Kori appeared, rushing into the throne room.

Hurrying behind her was Bell.

"So are you being honest Zeon..., is that monster really protecting my family?" Kori created a dagger of ice.

But before she could do anything Hikaru kicked her down, shattering the fragment of ice.

"It is true now you can either believe it or join the empire that threatens not just Earth but everything within this system" Hikaru lifted his foot up from Kori's fractured hand.

"Now that everyone is here, I have made a decision" the prince declared as Bell helped Kori onto her feet.

Resting himself against a meteorite made wall Hikaru listened eager to get this over with.

All the while Shirogane listened as intently as he could possibly manage, as his thoughts ran rampant with worry over the uncertainty of his curse.

"I have decided that both Feather and Kori will travel with you to Saturn's rings" Rast Jr declared scattering confusion across the room.

"What you expect us to not just ally with them but now you want us to leave the city?" Feather blurted out in frustration.

"I won't leave my family in the hands of that monster even if it is and ord...".

"Shut it both of you" Bell interrupted Kori putting her trust in the future king's judgement.

"Thank you Bell, now you two will accompany our new allies to the rings of Saturn not just to fight their battle but to retrieve those who were taken from us" Prince Rast spoke sincerely.

"You mean the Bult twins don't you?" Bell questioned as her faith began to fade.

"Yes I do" Rast Jr sighed knowing the people's opinion of them.

"The Bult twins?" Shirogane's attention was dragged into the prince's justification.

"Yeah twins of a forgotten family, the final survivors of the Bult family line" Kori unpleasantly spoke of her allies.

"They were taken by the Red empire when they killed my father and made Comet city their domain" Rast Jr spoke his voice full of sorrow and regret.

"But despite their unpopular status among the people they are valuable fighters so I ask that if you encounter them you allow my people to deal with them" the prince begged.

"Fine I don't care either way" Hikaru grabbed a hold of Shirogane.

"We should probably get going now before we lose Mirai's trail again".

"Yeah your right" Shirogane followed behind his ally, with the guards of Comet city trailing behind.
