We charged at him with incredible speed. I became a little dizzy from memories swarming in my head. I saw this before only thousands years ago… and I was fighting by myself.

My long dark hair was up and my clothes were Victorian. We fought in the Court Yard behind my mansion. My protector disappeared and everyone else was busy fighting for their own lives. So as the Kingdom's Princess I fought him myself. I managed to strike him a few times. Then I heard him call me and I turned to him. I smiled glad to see him alive.

"Shizuka!" I watched as his green eyes lit up with horror. It became hard to breathe. I looked down and saw my blood had been spilt everywhere, and my heart was missing. My eyes swelled up with tears, not from the pain but from guilt. I looked at him. I raised my hand slightly and reached forward. "I'm sorry… I have failed……"

I shook my head. No that is the past, I won't fail this time! I looked at Jack; he's always been like a little brother to me. I don't want to die in front of him again. Or worse...all three of us.. I know what I have to do now… I raised my sword and began casting the spell.

Mimi quickly became aware of what I was doing. She shot me a puzzled look while dodging a blow to the side. I only smiled.

"Lucy Stop!" She screamed as I made a triangle with my hands and aimed it at him.

I heard Lucifer scream as shadows fell upon me. "Good bye Mimi…Jack. Never forget me"

"Lucy!" Jack ran over to me as I slowly dissolved to ash.

"This is why I was reborn, Jack. And now I have fulfilled my duty… I was born again, only to die. Don't be upset, Jack. Be happy that the Dark Prince is stuck in Hell where he belongs.

I smiled a deep satisfied smile as Lucifer and I dissolved into nothing, while our souls were carried to Hell.

Mimi walked over to where Jack was standing. "She got rid of him so easily…I'm worried he'll come back." Jack looked at Mimi. "I was hoping she and I could have more time…but now she's gone again. I never knew she knew how to use that spell." Mimi sighed. "Lucy knew that in order to complete the spell she had to sacrifice her soul."
"Do you think there is a way to save her?" Mimi shrugged "Maybe, although I don't think she would want that."
