*Don't own:P Wish i did*

Last time:

"Then all hell broke loose!"

Now:

Mina winced at how loud the voices were, and how many curses she heard. They were in a temple for the goddess' sake! Raye was busy relighting all the candles, but her voice was loudest of all. "Mina, what do you mean they denied the marriage? How do you know? And why did they do it?" Mina was about to point out she told them the reasons, but then Amy interupted. "What did they mean, the marriage wouldn't be pure? Their love is the purest of all!"

All the girls agreed with Amy, and the men were with Darien, talking to him about everything. Serena spoke in a quiet yet demanding voice and said, "Why won't they allow me to marry him? I love him and he loves me! What could be more pure?" That last sentence was what snapped Minako's self control.

"What could be more pure? What could be MORE PURE? HOW ABOUT THE LOVE BETWEEN YOU AND SEIYA? THE TRUE QUESTION IS WHAT COULD BE MORE PURE THAN THAT? The man who put Seiya in his condition is the one you are about to wed! The man who almost killed Seiya, Yaten, and Taiki are the men in this room! The ones who fatally wounded your Andrew, Lita! And your Chad, Raye! The men in this room have brainwashed all of you!"

At the end of her speech, all the girls, including Mina, were crying silently. Serena asked Minako, "How did you know?" At this, Mina smiled bitterly and answered slowly. "As the new Goddess of Love, Aphrodite Incarnate, it is my job to know when lovers will be wretched apart. I was drawn to the field they were all run in with swords, by them men sitting in this room." The girls all cried, louder this time, before Amy pointed out, "But since your mother passed, it is her job to take over the powers of the goddess. While she is searching for a new body, she is to be the goddess for a short time. Why did it pass to a living member of the Venesian family line?"

Mina answered, "My mother prayed, as all of us do as we are passing, but not for her guidence into a new body. Instead, she asked the goddess allow her soul to die with her this time, as she wished to not be reincarnated this time around. She then told the goddess, 'Your true daughter has been born; she truly is Aphrodite Incarnate. Your soul and essence is with her, I felt it the first time I held her. She will do great things. Go to her, My Goddess, and bless your daughter.' And she came to me. Things turned out kinda funny didn't they?

"But since I AM the Goddess of Love, I ask, no, DEMAND this sham of a wedding be called off immedialy. The scouts and I will return with our princess to the Moon, and we shall be back with the sentence of your fate." Serena and the girls turned to the helpless men with looks of anger and disgust on their faces. The men tried to explain, but they would hear none of it. When they were all out of the temple, Mina turned back to the men, she her human appearence, and changed into the form of the Goddess.

"Next time you try and fall in love, try and do so without the Goddess of Love looking over you! You shall never be with another till you have felt the pain of these women, and the pain of all the other lovers you killed and took from the women of the Alliance. As the Goddess of Love has spoken, so it shall be!"

Her form then shifted back to it's human one, and she and the girls left for home with heavy hearts.

*Epilouge*

Mina used her powers as a goddess to awaken the goddess and gods in all the scouts. Together, they healed their lovers and brought the men who caused them pain to justice. Minako and Yaten were married, and the Goddess herself attended. At Seiya and Serena's wedding, Artemis attended, and at Taiki and Amy's wedding, Hermes attended and tried to steal the cake! The other girls were married, and thier respective deities were present. They all lived happy lives.
