Voice of a distant star (part three)
Him:
“I’ve forgotten how long it was since we last saw each other. To me, a distance that takes eight light years to travel, seems like forever. You and I drift further and further apart. I’ve had to do some things, do some things differently. I make my heart harder, colder, and stronger. I stand before a door that will never open. Still I’m not crying for an eternity, and you will remain you… beautiful…, and young, and I will grow older… I will grow older alone…”
(Back in the deep reaches of space, the Lausithe has made its way out of the light year warp, and has finally reached the planetary system of Searouls. The Lausithe makes it way to the planet called Agartue, the home of the Tarstion. Making their way to the planet, the Lausithe deploys a unit of tracers to explore the planet. )
Her:
“We always knew that Searouls had its own planetary system , but we are the first in all of humanity to see another system with our bare eyes. We’re at the fourth planet in the system, Agartue.”
( As Electra and the rest of the tracers unit make their way through the atmosphere to Agartue, they quietly come to find out that Agartue is almost the same as the Earth. However they find very small differences between the two, as they explore the planet.)
Her:
“Agartue has sky, clouds, and seas. It’s quite a lot like earth actually, but it’s not the same.
It only makes me realizes how far away I am from you… and drifting further…”
( As they continue their exploration on the planet, they receive a message saying “all exploration units from 1-12: There still no evidences of the Tarstion.” They continue on their recon of Agartue. Each member of the unit goes their own way. Electra finds herself amazed as she explores this new world; it is so much like the world she had left behind. She is speechless as she looks at the world around herself. Clouds start to form up as it starts to rain on her.)
Her:
“WoW! I want to be hit by the rain. I just want to get something to eat… at the bus stop… with you… “
( Sitting there in the tracer, she holds herself tightly as tears start to form and run down her cheeks. She sits there crying to herself, thinking of the time she had with him. With eyes full of tears, she takes out her cell phone and begins to text a message to him. She can’t seem to stop crying.
As she sends her message to him, she closes her eyes and pulls the phone towards her, holding it tightly in her hands saying to herself ”please get there.” The rain stops and the sun comes out once more. With images of her past flashing in her mind, her eyes open to see something that takes her by surprise. She says to herself ”It’s me !!” Standing there look at herself, or something like herself, she can’t seem to find the words to speak. )
Other Self:
“So, you finally come this far haven’t you ?” (It shows it’s real self as being a Tarstion.
In its true form, it continues to talk to Electra.) “Painful isn’t it ? But pain is necessary.
You’re probably able to go much further, you know, other galaxies, other stars . Will you come with me?? I’d like to give you something very important.”
Her :
Looking at the Tarstion’s true form, she starts to cry even more.
She tries to talk to herself, “ I just want to see him again, I do, just to tell him that I love him”
Other Self:
“It will be alright. You will see him again.”
(Then as if nothing had happened, her tracer arms itself and flashes warning lights,
She receives a messages saying ” Tarstion are everywhere on Agartue, encountering combat, they are in orbit and are approaching us.” Without warning, a light beam is fired right on top of her, making a huge explosion. It misses her within seconds of her jumping out of the way, as she gasps for air and screams “Nooo!!”)
(Meanwhile back on Earth many years has passed. Vincent is coming home from his long day. He stands out on his balcony lost in thought of the time that’s gone by.” )
Him:
“That summer day, when I thought eight years seemed like an eternity. I didn’t think I had a life. But I was wrong. I’m getting on with my life. I live in my own time, and finally next month,
I’ll nail the Omega duty that I’ve worked so hard for.”
(While lost in his own thoughts, he hears his phone going off with a new message.
Slowly walking up to the phone, as he looks to see that the message came from her.
He hesitates to open the message, but does so carefully. As he reads her message, he sighs, and says her name “Electra…” )
(Back on Agartue , Electra is fighting to stay alive , killing one Tarstion after another. )
Him:
It was just two sentences… “Happy 24th birthday. From your 15year old me.”
The rest was only static. It’s like a miracle, to hear from her after all this time.
Her:
“I don’t want you to feel bad about this , I have so many memories to think about.
They’re all I have now. You know what I miss ?? I miss…”
Him:
“I miss things like summer clouds , and cold rain , with you .”
Both:
“The smell of your hair.”
Her:
“every moment we spent together”
Him:
“the street in the night”
Both:
“and the day in the rain”
Her:
“Oh Vincent, time was so generous to us , and yet time is still such a cruel thief.
”
Him:
“I just wish it hadn’t stolen you ….Electra.”
(As the battle goes on the Tarstion are all over the place. Electra is taking each one on, as she makes her way back to space to protect the Lausithe. While doing so, she takes heavy damage, with the loss of her Tarstion arm when she was trying to shoot down one of the Tarstion. Without it, she hesitates, then comes back around and cuts it right thru the middle with her beam saber. As the battle continues, the Lausithe and the other ships fire off at the Tarstion space ship, though they don’t damage them. They were destroyed when the Tarstion space ship rammed head on into them, taking both ships out, leaving only the Lausithe and the mother ship of the Tarstion. Electra flies in front of the Lausithe, as the ship and herself fire off everything that they have. She flies off to make her last stand. )
Her:
“Vincent, we’re so far apart , but maybe thoughts can overcome time, and distances …
”
Him:
“Do you think something like that could happen ??”
Her :
“Yes”
Him:
“One thought…”
( Flying with everything she has, she flies right though all the Tarstion, as they are destroyed
by the attack from the Lausithe. She makes her way to the Tarstion mother ship, and sets her beam saber to max. With one fatal hit , she takes the saber and runs it all the way though the mother ship, destroying it. She flies off from it, as it is floating off into space. )
Her:
“One thought”
Him:
“One thought … what would it be ??
”
Her :
“it would be ….
”
Both :
“I’m here . . .”
