ベラミス - her epic journey of her soul

Chapter 28 - adventure on a planet

Belamis and Kugo were about to head back to the forces, when Kugo found his Star Probe had engine problems.

"Let's land at that planet and check." Belamis said.

The pair landed at a planet. There Belamis helped Kugo to repair his craft.

Then suddenly, there were loud thuds...

"Monster!" Kugo yelled.

A giant gorilla like beast emerged, walking to them.

Kugo pulled out his Astro-Lance.

Belamis shouted, "No!"

Belamis saw that there were two kids with the giant gorilla. That giant gorilla displayed no aggression, and even looked a bit cuddly, though it was really enormous, standing nearly 60 meters tall.

Kugo also looked, and immediately saw that the animal was not aggressive.

Belamis walked to the kids.

"Don't  be alarmed. Big Tom is our friend...." One of the kids, a twelve year old boy said.

"Yes. Big Tom is a gentle boy!" The other, a girl around the age of six added. She jumped to the giant gorilla's palm, and the gorilla smiled, gently touched the girl.

Belamis looked at that giant gorilla. Big Tom gazed at Belamis, and chuckled.

Belamis walked to the giant gorilla.

"Be careful!" Kugo said.

"No worries..." Belamis replied.

The giant gorilla smiled, and touched Belamis left shoulder with his palm, very very gently.

Belamis, with her helmet off, smiled, and walked onto the giant palm, and the gorilla gently picked her up, holding Belamis with the girl.

"Big Tom likes you!!" The girl said.

"What's your name?" Belamis asked.

"I am Mei, he's my brother Zok. Big Tom grew up with us when he's a baby". Mei said.

Belamis looked at the giant gorilla Big Tom. Big Tom was interested and curious.

Belamis leap up high, and Big Tom held out his other palm, and let Belamis land on it.

Belamis and Kugo laughed. Kugo said, "Here I come!" He jumped up, and landed beside Belamis.

Zok, the boy said, "Big Tom has a hunch to tell good people from bad... you two are good people!"

Big Tom made a soft growl, and that was a friendly voice. Belamis smiled.

"My space craft has engine problem, we probably will stay for a few days." Kugo said.

Belamis smiled, and said, "I like Big Tom too... he's a good guy."

"Hey!" Kugo protested.

Big Tom indeed was a gentle beast, despite his size, he was gentle. He looked at Belamis.

"Big Tom really liked you at first sight......" Mei said.

Belamis, after some thought, said, "I think I have some wild blood in me..... I am not afraid of him."

Kugo looked at Belamis, and said, "Wild blood ?"

"I am a member of Gariusu giant race....our ancestors lived in the wilds... even my biological parents... we have an instinct to connect to animals in the wild... like Big Tom."  Belamis remarked, as she touched Big Tom's hand.

"Big Tom regarded you as his friends now..." Zok said.

Indeed, as Belamis and Kugo were sitting at Big Tom's chest with the two kids.

Belamis looked at this peaceful moment, and said, "This place is like heaven....I never thought I could make friend with a giant and magnificent beast like Big Tom."

Mei replied, "We liked you both... you are really a couple ... perfectly matched..."

Kugo and Belamis looked at each other.

They remembered fighting alongside each other in an ancient planet to defeat a strange sphinx. It was their first time fighting alongside, and the two had mutual understanding.

It was the forth day Kugo and Belamis stranded on the planet, and finally Kugo's Star Probe was fixed.


"We had to leave..." Kugo said.

"I want to say goodbye to Mei, Zok and Big Tom....." Belamis said. Then suddenly there were loud screams.

"What is that ?" Kugo said.

Zok and Mei were running towards Kugo and Belamis.

"What is it ?" Belamis asked.

Mei wept. Zok in tears, replied, "I don't know what happened... Big Tom suddenly went berserk... "

Kugo and Belamis looked at each other.

"Come with us." Belamis said. Kugo and Belamis each took a kid on their crafts, and flew to the scene.

There the giant gorilla Big Tom was roaring. He looked fierce and his original gray color fur turned into black, and he was wrecking havoc around.

"What the heck...." Kugo remarked.

"Galaxy Energy ..... Golinkor created the disturbances....Big Tom, like other animals affected by the disturbance....became...a monster..." Belamis replied.

Belamis reached for her sword, then Mei placed her hands on Belamis right hand.

"Please..... don't harm Big Tom." Begged Meil

Belamis in her helmet, lifted the shades and looked at Zok and Mei.

The two kids were begging her. Belamis looked at the two kids, and nodded, "I promise... I would not harm Big Tom. He is my friend too."

"Kugo.... we must save Big Tom..."

"OK."

Belamis then landed her jet.

"You two stay here."  Belamis said. She summoned her space bike, and space bike had it wheels out, and became a motorbike.

Belamis mounted on space bike. Mei grabbed hold of Belamis hand, and said, "Please...."

Belamis in her helmet with her shades down, gazed at the girl. She lifted the shades and looked at Mei.

"I promise... I will save Big Tom..." Belamis replied.

"Kugo..... let's go!" Belamis said.

Belamis started her space bike and raced to the scene with Kugo.

"Belamis, what are you going to do ?" Kugo asked.

Belamis looked.

"Kugo, I will draw Big Tom's attention, you cover me..."

Belamis accelerated her space bike, and stopped before Big Tom.

Big Tom was roaring. He changed into a black and gigantic gorilla. He saw Belamis, and raised its fists, and strike.

Belamis steered away, and drew the attention of Big Tom to follow her.

"Belamis! It's dangerous..." Kugo yelled.

"Kugo.... you protect the villages and cities... I will try to lure Big Tom away from populated areas...." Belamis replied, as Big Tom chased her.

Belamis looked back, and she steered her spacebike. Big Tom was deformed into a large monster gorilla, and he spitted balls of flames at Belamis.

"I have to lure him far away from populated areas!" Belamis thought.

That giant gorilla chased after Belamis.

Then Belamis turned, and faced the gorilla. She reached for her sword, then Belamis stopped and did not pull our her sword.

"No... I cannot do it... I promised Mei and Zok." Belamis thought.

Then suddenly Mei ran out, shouting, "Tom.... don't do it!" She had followed Belamis all the way.

"No!!! Get away!!!!" Belamis shouted.

The giant gorilla growled and spit out balls of flames at Mei.

Belamis invoked her ultraspeed move and shielded Mei.

"Belamis...." Mei looked, as Belamis took the blast.

"Go ....I promise I will save your friend!" Belamis said, as she gasped.

Then a multitude of blasts came firing at Belamis and Mei.

"No!!!" Belamis yelled, as she carried Mei and jumped away.

Belamis placed Mei aside, and charged, dodging Big Tom's bursts of flames.

Then suddenly Big Tom raised its fist and hit the other side, shaking the ground. The ground cracked opened, and Mei nearly fell into the deep crack. Mei held on the edge and screamed.

Belamis moved with her ultraspeed, and pulled Mei up. Then  Big Tom spitted flame ball at them. Belamis pushed Mei away and took the blast. As Belamis took the blast, the giant gorilla stomped on her.

Belamis moaned, and Big Tom grabbed Belamis with its hand and squeezed.

"Arrrh...." Belamis yelled in pain and felt she's going to be crushed.

Kugo and Zok came too, Zok ran to try and save his sister.

Kugo raised his Astro-Lance and tried to shoot, but then hesitated.

Just this brief hesitation, Big Tom hit Kugo with his fist and sending Kugo to hit a tree, and Big Tom spit out series of flame balls at Kugo.

"Ku...Ku..go..." Belamis looked, and then her forehead glowed and Belamis lost her suit.


Then Belamis transformed to her giantess form, breaking away from the grip of the gorilla.

Belamis, in her giantess form, exerted her muscles, and she grabbed the hands of Big Tom.

Big Tom was three times Belamis' size, and was a mountain of muscles, and he exerted his muscles, and wrestled with Belamis.

Belamis roared, and pushed back.

Mei and Zok watched in total amazement, as Belamis was using her strength to battle with Big Tom.

Kugo got up and shouted, "Belamis!!"

Belamis was strong and muscular, and she exerted hard, trying to push back Big Tom.

Then Big Tom growled, and suddenly opened his jaws and bit Belamis at her right shoulder.

"Arr..." Belamis groaned, as she felt the sharp teeth sank to her shoulder, and the teeth was grinding at her shoulder bone, making sound of gnawing.

"No!!!" Kugo raised his Astro Lance and wanted to shoot.

Belamis braved the pain on her shoulder, shook her head..."Ku..go......no..."

The monstrous gorilla pulled, and there was a ripping sound, a part of Belamis shoulder's flesh was ripped off.

Yet Belamis was very brave, she took that brief moment, and strike with her fist at Big Tom's face. Big Tom stepped back.

Belamis put her hand on her injured shoulder, and she shook and breathed heavily. The wound was horrid, and blood was flowing out.

Belamis roared, and charged the gorilla, knocking it down.

Belamis leaped and tried to attack, then Big Tom raised its palm and the sank the sharp claws onto Belamis' wounded shoulder, into her wound.

Belamis felt painful, and groaned, but she pushed back the giant hand, braving her pain, and pulled the arm of Big Tom, tossing him over her back and threw it onto the ground. Despite the size of Big Tom, Belamis could lift him up, even Belamis was severely injured.

Belamis lifted Big Tom up and threw him onto the ground, then she did it again and again, and the crashing sound of Big Tom hitting the ground was deafening.

Then after nearly twenty tosses, Big Tom laid on the ground and growled. He could not get up, and Belamis breathed heavily, she finally subdued the giant gorilla with her strength.

Then Belamis radiated her own energy, changing Big Tom back to the gentle giant gorilla.

As Big Tom changed back, he saw Belamis wounded, he made a soft growl, and tears rolled out of his eyes as he saw Belamis was seriously injured. He hugged Belamis.

Belamis smiled, and hugged the gorilla back.

Mei and Zok yelled, "Big Tom.. You are back!!!"

Kugo shouted, "Belamis!!!"

Belamis turned, and said, "Kugo..." Then she collapsed and fell to the ground, and turned back to human from.

Big Tom looked at Belamis, naked and lying on the ground. Belamis opened her eyes, smiled and said, "Friend... I am OK...."

Kugo picked Belamis up and carried her in his arms, saddened by the wounds she sustained.

Belamis stayed another four days to let her wounds heal.

By the day Belamis and Kugo left, Mei, Zok and Big Tom bid farewell.

Kugo, Belamis hugged the kids.

Then Belamis looked at Big Tom, and said, "Big Tom, protect your friend!"

Big Tom chuckled, and as he did when he first saw Belamis, patted Belamis shoulder gently.

Belamis smiled, so did Kugo.

The pair then boarded their crafts and left.
