The leader had ran to the front and wrapped his vicious arms around her neck and chest. He pressed his bloodied dagger against her soft throat and laughed maliciously.
She could do nothing but stand still, but she was not afraid.
Again Princess Serenity attempted to run into the battlescene. But this time she simply radiated strength and prestige. Not a one person dared to stop her.
The stars twinkled slowly over her figure. Her hair shone in the dim clear light. The blanched color of her skin and her pure white gown reflected the light with a renewed dignity.
She looked every inch the royalty she was.
"Let her go." her voice dripped with cold determination and bitter force. But the intruder only giggled mockingly. He was one of many who believed she was powerless.
But that was about to change.
"I said let her go. Now." at that point her glow became more from inside her than outside. The stars seemed to lessen in glory, maybe out of comparison to her, perhaps they paused for a while to watch this event take place.
He began to get fearful. He pressed the blade deeper into Queen Serenity's throat. A few drops of crimson blood stood out from her opal skin and her breathing started to become labored.
The fight had reached the point of no return.
Queen Serenity coughed feebly and closed her eyes. Princess Serenity dived up with the renewed hope her mother had just given her. But only the two of them shared a part in this incredible secret.
Princess Serenity placed a hand upon her chest. A blast of silverish energy threw her back as it flew from her clenched fists.
But it didn't hurt her nearly as much as it hurt him.
He was both surprised and weakened. He was able to pull Queen Serenity down, but he had to remove his grip on her. She ran to join her daughter and gripped her hands tightly. The sparkling physical form of the Ginzinshou began to float over their clenched hands.
"Why are you attacking?" both pairs of eyes were devoid of any sort of emotion.
"Kill me if you're going to. I'm not afraid," he spoke bravely and laughed a crazed cackle, but shook with true fear. For like most other villains, he was a true coward in the face of any opposition, "Wait... no..." he almost started crying at that.
"No, death is too easy. And noone benefits from it. What you will do is clean and repair all that you and your minions destroyed."
Queen Serenity beamed with pride at the wisdom of her daughter, who then proceeds to amaze everyone even more.
