Intro part B
{After the events on yugopotamia and Mark getting hurt seriously mandy was trying to protect Boudacia's borders from yugopotamia's attacks all the while looking after Mark who's wound had an unexpected result..}
{The day of retreat}
[Mandy] Doctor! How is his condition!"
[Doctor] I'm sorry prinses mandy but it seems the wound is gravely
because of where the spear made the damage..
[Mandy]..Will he live..?
[Doctor] The yugopotamian physique is normally very strong but..
{Mandy]What?
[Doctor] There have been complications the machine on his body who's changing his appearance has had a major malfunction and it changed his body permanently to his curent form which is immensely subcrible to trauma.. we don't believe we can save him..
{Mandy listened patiently to doctor's explanation as she felt slowly something growing
inside her throat she didn't know that feeling or the slowly building pain the started to rise in her heart..}
[mandy]"D..Doctor" {her voice was trembling and weak she forced the words out to sound as she normally should sound}
[Mandy] Do you mean he'll..{her voice gave out mid sentence}
[Doctor] i'm afraid so..
{then something inside Mandy broke she felt something flowing from her eyes
Mandy never cried or felt this pain that began clenching her heart}
{none of her subjects had ever seen the princess like this before but the doctor had seen this quite a few times when during a campaign of Boudacia soldiers died.. the soldiers were praised
and never forgotten by the empire but the family left behind would experience this particular sensation called grief..}
[Doctor] My princess please stand up.. there's still a chance but it is all up to him if his will to live is strong then there's a chance..
{Her heart now jumped at this her eyes opened and she stood up to walk to Mark}
{How could that stupid dare to die! Without her permission!}
[Mandy]Ma"..!" {she wanted to yell at him scream that he could only die if she said so! but.. the words that came out weren't at all so fierce or loud}
{as she saw him laying on the bed with all the tubes and machines her voice became soft}
[Mandy]Idiot.. look at you..
listen Mark you aren't allowed to die.. you hear? i..i {she held his hand}
i. wouldn't forgive you if you did.. and there's still reeva and all he has done so don't give up fight and i'll...
[Boudaican general] Princess we need your guidence! the enemy has come to the borders again!
{She wiped the tears from her eyes and turned around to face the general}
Then we shall make them pay! to dare come to attack us! {she turned he head looking over her schoulder to Mark}
[Mandy] Just wait Mark i will be back in a short while.. {her face now more fierce again while looking at the general}
"Let's go!"
{Mark was standing over a cliff his memory hazy and unsure if he should step away from the abiss under him}
"Should i jump? or.. what was i thinking again?"
"and where am i?"
{He looked around}
"this place i can't remember.."
[A voice] Mark come over here"
[Mark] Huh? that's f..father?
[voice] Mark" come over here son!
[Mark] ah.. i remember this is from when we gone to the yugopotamian death pits for the first time i was very nervous i wanted father to be proud of me...
but. you already died father.. mother also.
"Hahahaha and what will you do about it!"
{hearring reeva's voice made his blood boil}
[Mark] REEVA I WON'T LET YOU GET AWAY!
[king and queen] Mark don't.. he's dangerous and don't jump down to that place walk away from the abyss..
[Mark]Dad? Mom?
{he turned around and walked to his father and mother}
[Mark] I. I thought you were..
[king Grippulon] yes we are.. i'm sorry son, but you must live! fight for yugopotamia's honor'
don't let Reeva sully it more go to earth find allies!
[Mark] but.. that's like running away i don't want to run
[Qween jipjorrulac] Sometimes to draw back and regroup is the only way to see victory Mark
[Mark] But!"
{he heard a sweet voice now from someplace}
"Mark'''' you''.." don't die"
{the voice felt soft and caring to mark}
[Mark] Who is that?
[Qween jipjorrulac] Someone who cares for you mark she's not aware of it but she always did
[Mark] i know this voice from someplace someone'..
"Mark i will be back in a short while"
[Mark] NO! DON'T GO! WHO ARE YOU! WAAIT! MA.. Mandy'
it's Mandy.. i. i Can't let her fight that maniac alone! I MUST WAKE UP!
{The world around him grew dim as the last words he heard from his mother and father
(Live Mark we will always love you)
"w.. .mandy.."
{he woke up tring to keep his eyes open was hard like they were made from lead he could feel a tube in his throat but was too weak to take it out and it hurt}
(i better leave it)
[Mark]Ish angyon agount?
{the tube made his speach quite slurry and low audible}
[Doctor] Huh? You're Awake!
[Mark]Yesgh gclout Yough Tagh thish Thinchn outch?
[Doctor] Of course! it was only to help you breath wait just a moment'
{The doctor called a nurse and removed the oxygen supply tube}
[Doctor] Before you speak try to drink some water first "here"
{he handed him a glass of clear water}
(okay this will taste awful) {thought Mark but to his surprise it tasted cold and good}
[Mark] Doctor.. something's off why does this taste well and not horrible to me?
and why am i still in my human form?
{the doctor's face now showed a sad expression as did the nurse}
[Doctor] i' have to tell you something but i would want to wait until the princess is back..
[Mark] Wait where is she! Where is Mandy is she save!?
[Doctor] yes she's unharmed because of you she's now dealing with a situation but will be back soon i'm sure.
{The doctor wanted to spare Mark as long as possible and not get him excited or worried}
[Mark] Oh.. so she's alright good.. i thought she was someplace dangerous i can't let anything happen to her.. i owe her for trying to save yugopotamia..
where am i doctor?
[Doctor] on boudacia' we had to pull back i'm sorry it seems yugopotamia is lost..
[Mark]I thought so.. there were too many modified soldiers. reeva has worked two years to build his army he has planned this for a long time i believe..
[Doctor] Lord mark would you want to rest? until princess Mandy returns?
[Mark] i do feel little tired please wake me when she comes..
{his eyes closing as he spoke' the doctor and nurse slowly walked out}
[Nurse] Why does he seem so concerned with the princess? she's our greatest warrior"
She never got hurt on the battlefield'
[Doctor] that's because our princess is strong but she still can get hurt and if it wasn't for the prince our princess would be here in that bed i saw the whole thing she couldn't move in time
to get out of the path of the spear'
[Nurse] you mean it would'
[Doctor] Yes she would have..
[Nurse] Then the prince is a hero!
[Doctor] I think he's more than just a hero to the princess they have been fiances for a long time..
{Now while Mark was talking with the doctor mandy was commanding the troops against the Neopotamians how Reeva called his army}
[Mandy] Luckily they aren't any better in space fights their ships are still the same as before
but we can't let them land anywhere near our moons or we'll be in trouble" DESTROY ALL THEIR SHIPS! Don't let one get though!
{the space battle was fierce it almost looked like reeva had an unlimited amount of soldiers and resources but the Boudacians had more better ships and cannons after hours of battling to get a ship over the border reeva pulled back sending the retreat flare}
[General Murtoll] Finally! They returning"..!? (Finally? why am i saying that? i'm a boudacian warrior serving the royal house to fight! has this battle worried me?)
{The general never met a force like this who feared nothing who had no ambition just followed an order and didn't feel remorse for fallen comrades}
[Mandy] It's alright General Murtoll' we all are relieved"
even the battle hardened need rest' i'll take my leave now general send relief troops to the soldiers at the borders i will leave the rest in your capable hands general Mutoll
[General Mutoll] of course my princess!
{she left the control room and went to the royal hospital where Mark was}
[Doctor] My princess' i have good news prince Mark has awoken! and it seems his vitals are stable!
[Mandy]! He has! {she walked past the doctor without letting him finish his sentence}
[Mandy] Mark!
{His eyes shot open}
[Mandy]Oh! Sorry that came out louder than i wanted'
[Mark] ah.. that's okay' i was waiting for your return" how's the situation?
[Mady].. as long as we fight space battles it will be our win..
[Mark] but if it will come to a melee fight?
[Mandy] i hope it won't come to that
[Mark] so he has already changed all yugopotamians..
[Mandy]...it seems so..
[Doctor] May i have a moment? since the princess is present now i would like to explain why lord Mark is still in human form.
{mandy was standing next to Mark's bed holding his hand without noticing she was"}
[Doctor] it seems that the malfunction of you image fakeifier has changed your dna
permanently.. we tried our best to revert the process but had to give up midway or you would have died.. we have never seen such a change in a body.. may i ask how long you normally used the machine?
[Mark] For months at a time and before i returned i haven't reverted for at least eight months without end..
{Mandy subconsciously held mark's hand firmer as she heard the doctor's explanation she knew how proud the yugopotamians were of their appearances not being able to return to it would had be distraught for Mark}
[Doctor] FOR MONTHS! DIDN'T..didn't you know how dangerous it is to use this device for more than a week?
[Mark] So doctor what you are trying to tell me is that i.. i wont change back?
[Doctor]"..." we aren't sure..
[Mark]..hah ha. not only did i lost my family but my identity is also lost to me? is that what you're telling me'...
[Mandy] He. He' isn't sure Mark there might be"
[Mark] No" mandy this is my punishment for not coming home for so long..
[Mandy] Don't be ridiculous! None of this is your fault i was right there! and didn't notice what was going on!
[Mark] no mandy you have no blame you even came to our rescue.. and sacrificed many brave warriors.. and now your borders are under attack because of us..
[Mandy]Mark..
[Mark] i'm sorry mandy for a lot of things all of them..
{he stood up out of bed and kneeled on one leg showing much dignity}
[Mandy]Mark! wha?!
[Doctor]MY LORD DON'T YOUR WOUNDS!
{He took her hand and put it against his head}
[Mark] I may not look anymore like a Prince of the royal house of yugopotamia" but i have all my honor and with it i swear here and now that as long as there's a spark of life in this body it will protect you to the death and beyond I Mark Grippulon Jipjorrulac Prince of Yugopotamia
Swear That Here And Now.
{there was something inside her.. a feeling like she never felt before it felt like little ants were running wild in her chest and belly and she felt her face get hot like someone was pouring hot water over her!}
[Mandy] I except you" now get up Mark your wounds will reopen {she giggled shyly which was something very weird to her}
{Mark's eyes were cencere as he looked up to her}
[Mark] Thank you my princess for accepting me'
[Doctor] Now please go back to bed my prince and let us see the wounds'
good nothing opened good' if everything goes well you'll be capable to walk out of here in a week
[Mark] Doctor i need to fulfill my oath so if it's possible i would like to start right away
[Doctor]? are you.. i mean it would be not sane to try' at least two days more
[Mark] One day'
[Mandy] Mark don't be stubborn! or reckless' if the doctor says you need a week then don't push too much'
[Mark] is it your wish for me to stay here'
{she was taken aback by his question}
[Mandy] I want you to recover'
[Mark] as you wish i will stay for the time the doctor has set'
{there was something different with him he would have normally protested and would have done his own mind like mandy knew him, but she didn't knew what the oath Mark made really signified "he was hers" if she would ask him to kill himself he would have done it
without blinking this was the truth behind the oath of a yugopotamian prince}
[Mandy]Mark?
[Mark] yes?
[Mandy]"..." no it's nothing..
{that night her mind hadn't left her alone why was Mark so different to her now?
why did her heart race when he got on his knee and made the vow?
[Mandy] hmmm i can't sleep" maybe i should... no he needs to rest..
{after hours of twisting and turning she finaly gave up and went to the royal hospital where Mark was also still awake}
[Mark]...i should have gone with her to the ready room i have made the oath" i wonder how mom would have reacted or father.. but then again i don't even look like "me" anymore..
"Click"
"Mark?"
[mark] Yes princess? {he got up to sit straight in bed}
[Mandy] So.. you're also awake..
[Mark] yeah.. i couldn't find sleep
[Mandy] well me neither..
[Mark] Want to talk about it?
[Mandy]"Gulp" we. Wel.. maybe.. why did you made that vow? !N.. Not that i didn't appreciate it! but it was sudden..
{Mark saw she had a pink-ish color on her cheeks}
[Mark] it's not just a vow' my princess
{The way he said My princess made her heart race again and that hot feeling to her face}
[Mark] It is an oath" of permanent bond' it means that i am yours" to command as you will'
you could ask me anything and i would do it'
didn't my family ever told you about it?
[Mandy] No they never mentioned it' are you something like my slave now?
[Mark]No a slave has no will and could run away from his master
the oath is like.. hmmm the humans have a word for it but i don't know if you heard it before a "debt of life" it means that i will die in your place no matter what'
{debt of life, she did heard of it but on Boudacia it's meaning was close to marriage"}
[Mandy]WH.! WHAT!? I.. i thought you didn't wanted to..
{she was now turned away from him wiggling and held her hands in front of her face blushing}
[Mark]? why wouldn't i? you saved me and tried to save my whole world" of course i want to! and why are you so red in your face princess?
[Mandy]!DON"T SAY THOSE THINGS!You're embarrassing me!
[Mark]HUH!? how? i i'm sorry princess! i didn't meant to! if.. if you want you can punish me for my insolence!
[Mandy] Why would i? {she walked to him cupping his cheek in her palm}
[Mandy] I always liked the color of your eyes'
{now Mark felt something in his chest beat like crazy he felt like someone was
burning a fire in him and somehow he was nervous shaky and there were bugs in his belly! as he looked in her eyes he feld like he was in trance what was this feeling? he never had this with her before and somehow she didn't seem so "ugly" anymore but now she looked dazzling}
[Mark] Mandy? i. i feel weird' like i'm sick but in a good way" if there's something like that.
[Mandy]Uhu I feel it too Mark' my heart is pounding like i'm in a battle' but even better'
{mark didn't know when but somehow his arm was now around her waist and he was pulling her closer' mandy put her arms around him leaning her head on his eskimo kissing}
"!BEEB! !BEEB!"
"ALARM! ALARM!
"THE ENEMY HAS MADE AN SURPRISE ATTACK! THEY HAVE BROKEN THROUGH!
[Mark] "!"
[Mandy]"!" What!? [she got up running to the door}
[Mark]!PRINCESS WAIT FOR ME! [he also got up from his bed it felt like his in arts were ripping "the stitches were still fresh after all"} Damn" just push through mark" i can't let her alone now!
{he caught up to mandy who didn't realize he was behind her"}
Mandy's pov
{Mandy was sure Mark would be safe in his room and she would be "Sure he did" because she would call for her best soldiers to protect him' and she would be back when she had taken care of the situation}
{she found a soldier out side the hospital evacuating the civilians who couldn't fight}
[Mandy] YOU SOLDIER! What's going on? where are the guards!
[Soldier] PRINCESS?! W..WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE! THERE ARE ENEMIES CLOSE!
the other soldiers are holding the enemies back we thought you were already in the command center!
[Mandy] I have asked you what has happened Not an explanation how or where i should be! report soldier!
[soldier]Right! the enemy has appeared like out of thin air there wasn't a ship to begin with!
our soldiers that first came upon them were killed almost instantly and it seems that beam rifles have almost little to none effect! swords and spears are the only things that hurt them it seems my troop is now trying to fight them with these weapons.
[Mandy] You guide these people away i will call for more men soldier!
[soldier] Yes princess!
{at that moment screams could be heard from both directions horrible painful and twisted screams' she turned her gaze to where it was coming from when something flew past her'
she felt something splatter over her it was warm yet cooling down fast as she raised her hands to look at them she saw that they where covered in blood but not only her hands every splatter she felt was blood" shocked for a moment she realized something was in front of her' huge bulky grotesque with yellow eyes on one of it's tentacles it held the very same soldier she just was talking to.. "one of those horrible deformed tentacles came to her she wanted to move' she wanted to doge roll or whatever! but her legs wouldn't move wouldn't follow her command! "So This is it? is this how i die?"
now she feld something tugging at her side and unsheathing her sword as she saw the person who took the sword her voice came out}
[Mandy]MARK!
{Mark saw the whole thing Mandy was still in shock the blood was all over her she could move but somehow she didn't she dropped on her knees instead he saw her face it was in horror" in a heartbeat his wounds didn't seem hurt anymore and seeing her like this' made his mind scream "NO! MOVE MANDY MOVE I CAN'T LET HER DIE!" he ran to her grabbing the sword and jumping to the beast it all felt like one motion}
[Mark] AAAAH!
[Mandy]MARK!
"a cutting sound stabbing and a mesmerising scream"
{The beast lay dead on the ground. Marks hands where shaking "Never again wil any of you take what's mine" his voice was low but bitter and harsh}
[Mandy] Mark! YOUR WOUNDS!
{her legs now able to run she ran to him ripping part of her shirt and pressing it to his stiches who were bleeding}
[Mark] Mandy don't worry i can't even feel them i'll get to were the rest of the army is i'll fight! you will go to the command center direct the troops!
[Mandy]THE ONLY PLACE YOU'RE GOING IS BACK TO THE MEDICAL SHIP!
[Mark]MANDY! We don't have time for this" i am alright like i said' i must bring you to a safe place! That 'is my First priority! now let's go"
{he took her right hand and begone running with her his wound's didn't hurt like he told her' not that he didn't feel the wounds' he did but there was no pain' he could move he could fight and as long as this kept up he would use it to the fullest and protect Mandy"}
[Mandy]Y'''YOU IDIOT! NO DON'T WE SHOULDN'T RUN YOU WOUNDS ARE BLEEDING!
{he wouldn't listen to her now her life was more worth than his and his oath meant to give his life for her even if she would object"}
as they finally came close to the command center they saw many dead soldiers and enemies on the ground then they saw a lone warrior pinning a neopotamian to the wall with a huge sword}
[general murtoll]DIE! BEAST! " " Finally it's dead..ack my whole body hurts but at least this was the last one here..
[Mandy]GENERAL! Help me Stop him!
[General murtoll] HUH!? ! WHY ARE YOU STILL HERE YOU HAVE TO GET TO THE EVACUATION SHIP! AND WHO'S THIS MAN!?
[Mandy] Just help me!
{he held Mark firmly to stop from moving which was hard task for Mark didn't want to stop until the princess would be save}
[Mark] go of me! the princess needs to get away from danger!
[general murtoll] Don't worry that was the last one in here! there are no more!sattle Down! Who's this person anyway princess!?
[Mandy] Mark" Prince Mark from yugopotamia' The man who saved my life and my fiance'
[general mutoll] WhA! this! is the hero! HOW IS HE POSSIBLE TO EVEN MOVE!
[Mandy]Because he's a stubborn idiot! who will not stop and listen to a word i say! {she had tears in her eyes as she said those words}
{Mark saw her tears and didn't resist anymore}
"Mandy no matter what happens to me i.. i can't let any harm come to you"
[Mandy]ANY HARM!? HOW DO YOU THINK THIS HURTS SEEING YOU LIKE THIS! BLEEDING LIKE THERE'S NO TOMORROW! I.. I...whaaaa!
{she cried pressing her face against his chest}
{he put his arms around her.. the general now let go of mark seeing how the princess was holding him like that mark wouldn't move} [General mutoll] I'll see if i can find a medkit..
{after bandaging Mark up they made way for the evacuation ship as they reached the upper part of the structure they could see all the city being over run by those beasts..}
[general mutoll] "don't worry princess we'll take it back' this is only a colony.. Boudacia prime is save there are hundred colonies like this one"
[Mandy] yes but this was our home' and we won't let him get away with this!
[Mark]We will have our revenge'
{they went in to the hospital ship ironically it was the only one still there waiting for supplies..}
[general mutoll] Medic! we have a wounded here' take him to the infirmary and check him!
[Mandy] don't worry mark i'll just give the lift off order and will be with you shortly'
[Mark] okay.. i'll be waiting.
{As Mandy went to the bridge she could hear the generals high voice scolding the captain for delaying the lift off}
[Mandy] General' i know we should already be in the air but yelling at the captain won't make us go up faster'
Captain why haven't we lifted off yet?
[Captain soll] Princess i'm very sorry but we are waiting for our last comrades to join us they just said they would be here in ten minutes' they could already see the ship but the general keeps pressuring me to leave them!
[General mutoll] then call them! like i said! if they don't pick up they have been killed or compromised!
[Captain soll] I have tried but i can't get through to them! it's interference! from the generators'
[Mandy] Captain as we got up here we haven't seen anyone we should have seen them'
i think they've been thwarted by enemies.. we should go'
{Captain soll looked at the ground knowing it was true the run from the steps to the ship would have been less then ten minutes but he wanted to believe his friends but now that the princess gave the order he couldn't resist anymore}
"prepare for lift off" we'll go in 1 1" Go'
"!CRAAAAAAAAAAAASH! AWAAAAA! AAARRRRH! SCREATCH!
BEEEEEB BEEEEEEEB!
HELP! ENEMY ABOARD I REPEAT! ENE-AAAAAAAH!
{general murtoll and Mandy ran to the ships enterence and found that one of the neopotamians was onboard and attacked the medical staff reletlesly. mutoll and mandy took their blades and charged the beast.} "
[murtoll] Princess be careful it's tentecles are fast!
we should try to stop it's movement
[Mandy] Like so!? Ho haa!
mandy sliced two of the tentecles of the beast off after she nimbly jumped to her left and rolled right under another tentecle' the neopotamian began attacking her more now leaving the murtoll mostly alone which said general would use to his advantage!}
[Murtoll] Finaly shown me your back fiend! waaarrr!
{He cut another of the creature's tentecle and it seemed like they were winning both mandy and murtoll were sure that if they kept it up like this the neopotamian would fall" ...But}
"RRWAAAAAAWW!"
[muroll] WHA!?
[Mandy] General! oupff!
{the moment the neopotamin was conered it regrew it's lost tentecles instantly! and attacked the one behind it first and mandy as she tried to help murtoll"}
{Her mind was cloudy.. she heard something screetch in pain and a lot of noise..
she tried opening her eyes'
" a slight sting' Outch" that hurts never gonna drink tulabran again''
{she thought she was at a party of boudacia but slowly her mind cleared as she saw the figure standing on top of the dead beast now...}
[Mandy]M.. Mark?
Mark pov
twenty minutes earlier
[Mark] Alwright Mandy i'll be waiting'
[Doctor] first let's se those wounds' the princess will be back like sh''! BY SHALDRAS SWORD! NURSE QUIK! Bring me the opperation tools all his stiches have ripped!
"I don't feel any pain doc"

[Doctor]..huummpf okay you win. but if you start wincing in pain i WIL USE IT!
[Mark] thank you doc'
{During the procedure mark heard something break then screams he pushed the doctor and nurse out of the way as two tentecles came at him he was shot to the ships wall by the impact his conciousness was fading as he slided down the wall}
[Mark] W..w wai..t...
{He heard a sound a voice he knew' "How about this!"
"Finaly Showing me your back!" "rubble rumble"
what was going on here? Mark thought as he suddenly heard Mandy's Voice "General! oupf!
His eyes shot open! he saw Mandy fly to the side of him automatically he grabbed her jumping towards her and rolling on his back so she wouldn't get hurt from the fall.. as he saw the small wound on her head something clicked in side him' anger gripped his heart he felt his mind slip as he ran to the monster he wanted his hands would be swords spears whatever he cursed that his hands now were those of a human..But what was this? he felt like he was tearing through the beast with his hands? and he could pierce through the hard shell he saw the beast getting weaker after every stab he wouldn't stop he couldn't his arms were moving on their own as he jumped up to dodge an attack he looked at his right arm it changed to a big fist as he came down again hitting with all his might at the beast!}
{The ship rumbled as the General witnessed the display of gore and fright'
the boy jumped to save the princess' he was covered in blood yet unfazed by his wounds only anger could be seen in his eyes he ran to it and his hands changed to sort of tentacles but then again they were sollitt weapons tearing the beast apart the boy looked like a monster himself now then the hand reformed into a huge fist that came down with incredible force!..
he was speechless the boy killed the monster by becoming one..he looked in the direction of the princess and jumped over to her' Was she alive?}
[murtoll] Mark! I..IS the prin..
[Mark]She's alive! Find a doctor! quik!
{murtoll stood up looking for a doctor in the other rooms as he returned he saw Mandy and Mark kiss}
[Doctor vils] oh god! he opened his wounds again! BOY! i told you now look at you! i'm sorry princess but let us take a look at your and his wounds!
[Mandy]GASP! {she turned herself away so no-one could see her blush!}
[Doctor vils] There wil be time for blushing later princess now show me your wounds!
{the doctor was a bit forcefull but it was only to help them..
but mark felt his vision becoming hazier by the second"}
[Mark] Doc..I Mandy..
{He colapsed and woulden't move Mandy held him in her arms..}
