****** Outmatched, Part 3 ******

Icatankor thought he had beaten Sailor mercury, however this was part
of her plan to find his weakness and defeat him. She knew that she had
to hold on and wait until his weakness was revealed. At the Hikawa Shrine,
the others discussed about what happened to Sailor Mercury.

"She's been gone too long and it has been several hours since she has left."

Rei spoke in a concerned voice. She knew Ami wasn't strong as she was. She
knew that Mercury could easily fall into the enemy's hands.

"Don't worry Rei-Chan! Ami is a very smart and intelligent girl, if anyone
can find out how to beat Icatankor, she can... even if it means being captured
first to find a weakness. Please have faith in Mercury Rei-Chan!"

Luna reminded Rei that Ami was very smart and capable girl. If Ami could find
a weakness, she could. Icatankor presented Sailor Mercury all chained up to his
master.

"OOOH, very good Icatankor! Congratulations on your victory! Place her in one
of the cells."

Murkadrone congratulated him. Icatankor placed Mercury in one of the cells. He
released the chains from her. He locked up Mercury in the cell and he went back
to his master.

"Good job Icatankor, Mercury is forever our prisoner. her execution will take
place soon."

Murkadrone congratulated him. He was ever so joyous that Mercury was now captured.
About an hour later, Mercury woke up in her cell. She looked around. She knew she
was in the enemy spaceship. She activated her visor and started scanning the spaceship.
She found out that the spaceship was very massive and had enough power to destroy
a whole planet. She thought about Icatankor and what his weakness might be. She wouldn't
be sure until he came close. She put away her visor and decided to think about her unlocked
abilities and how she could win. About a hour later, Icatankor brought a small tray of earth
food. A turkey sandwich, a blueberry muffin, an apple, and a small carton of milk to go with
it. He presented her the tray. He spoke.

"This is some earth food we have got for you. There is no honor in a girl who is weak
from not eating. Earth food may not be good to us, but it may do you good. I will give you
a choice... if you like to battle me again or not. Perhaps, you are not that weak as you
showed me earlier... I know that you willfully allowed yourself to be captured. Now please
strengthen yourself."

Icatankor told her as he handed her the tray.

"Thank you."

Mercury thanked him. There was a bed and she sat at the edge of the bed and sat the tray on
the bed. She started with the sandwich. The sandwich was quite tasty. Turkey wasn't dry.
She thought it best not to make Icatankor angry and try to enjoy this meager meal. After
she was done, she sat the tray on the bed. She looked at her nemesis. He may be the enemy,
but she found honor in his eyes. He wanted to truly battle with Mercury.

"May I?"

He asked. As he asked to sit next to her.

"Be my guest."

She answered as she moved over allowing him to sit next to her.

"Thank you."

Icatankor thanked her as he sat down. He spoke again.

"Mercury, what is your real name?"

He asked. She looked at him and she wondered if she should tell him her true name. Then
she re-transformed back into Ami. She looked at him and then she spoke.

"My name is Ami Mizuno."

Ami spoke as she looked at him.

"That is a very lovely name Ami. You know that my name is Icatankor."

He told her as he smiled. Ami felt strange. Talking with the enemy wasn't her strong suit,
however she didn't want to insult him. She then spoke to him.

"Why of the change of heart to go to great lengths to talk to me and be so kind to me?"

Ami asked in a curious tone.

"I was once a powerful warrior for the sake of good just like yourself. Killing you off right
away has no honor in it. See, the others and myself were guardians of the four element swords.
However, we were brainwashed and were made to serve him. Ami, please heed my last request?"

He told her. She was amazed that he used to be a good warrior. Ami answered him.

"Go ahead. I am listening."

Ami told him. Icatankor stood up and faced Ami and he spoke again.

"Please I wish to see you battle me at Tokyo Harbor tomorrow. Please free me from Murkadrone's
grasp! Please restore my honor. Please tell me that you will honor my last request?"

He asked her. She looked at him and then she spoke up.

"Very well. It would be dishonorable to not heed your request. I will I do my best to battle
you to the best of my ability and free your spirit from Murkadrone's grasp."

Ami answered him. Icatankor smiled and he spoke again.

"Thank you Ami, now rest. I will make a request of Murkadrone to battle you again. I am sure
he will grant it. Until tomorrow, please rest her Ami."

He told her again and he left. Ami then laid on the best and wondered if he was telling the
truth. She saw a glass of water on the stand and she closed her eyes for a moment and focused
on the water.

'Please water, I know that you will tell me the truth... is Icatankor telling me the truth of his
story!'

She thought to the water. And she got the feeling that Icatankor was telling the truth.

"very well... I will honor him by battling him tomorrow."

Ami made a vow to herself and then she laid herself on the bed and fell asleep.
