Madoka's breath was caught in her throat. "Wha-What? Why?"

"You see Madoka, I like power", Jack began. "And since you're to be heir to the throne, I thought..Why not marry the girl and bathe in the riches..But", he stopped, his forest green eyes landing on her. "I had no way to get here and so coincidently, you", he caressed her cheek. "Ran away and so your mother called for me and Damian. You made it so much easier. Of course, I didn't comment my plan to Damian".

"But wait, how did you know about me?", Madoka questioned, her curiosity being tested. "Damian would speak of you. How he would laugh with you and your innocent smile and believe me my dear, I fell right in love with you", Jack laughed. "And so...my plan was put in action. Earlier in the years, I had hired assassins who worked for me and I ordered them to blend in with the castle guards to keep an eye out. And so, everything was perfect except for one thing", Jack stopped, leaving the princess guessing.

"Your mother. So...to make sure you were eligible for the crown, she had to be withdrawn. By my men", he gestured to Yuu, Tsubasa and Ginga.

"My...mother trusted you three!" she shouted. The three only shrugged with no sign of remorse. "We were under Jack's rule since the beginning".

Madoka stopped struggling and let herself fall into Jack's arms. This was all too much. Jack stroked her hair. "Now it's time to go. Boys, take good care of my wife-to-be", Jack ordered, handing the still in shock Madoka to Tsubasa who nodded.

Jack spared a glance at Damian and the rest. He chuckled and turned, walking away with the others. "Boss, are we gonna go to the ship?", Yuu asked, in his adorable voice. Jack nodded.

Tsubasa raised an eyebrow. "We're leaving? What of the kingdom?"

"We'll let it fall to ruins and then I'll appear with Madoka as the new King and Queen", Jack explained. "Sounds like a good plan", Ginga said, following after Yuu.

Meanwhile, Reji ran through the gates. Hikaru had stayed behind to care for the queen's body and to tell the guards what had happened. Reji suddenly stopped and caught a familiar scent. He dashed and leaped into the shadows to then enter the battleground where the three boys laid unconscious.

'The same boys', he thought to himself as he identified Ryuuga and Kyouya. He kneeled next to Ryuuga and laid his hand on the boy's forehead, emitting a warm green light. Ryuuga mumbled something and suddenly jerked upright to only clash with Reji's head who groaned in slight pain.

Reji continued to do the same to Kyouya who as soon as he woke up, screamed, "Madoka!"

Damian awoke with a headache, rubbing his head with his own hands as Kyouya made his way over to him, picking him up by the collar.

"I'll kill you for taking Madoka..if it's the last thing I do", Kyouya's azure orbs threatened the smaller boy.

"There's no point in doing it. I'm just as mad as you are..Jack betrayed me", Damian clarified. "Boo hoo", Kyouya remarked sarcastically. Ryuuga only looked at them in amusement. Reji only got annoyed.

"And plus, why are you so mad at me? I'm not the one who took her" Damian retorted. Kyouya growled. "What would that idiot want with Madoka?". Damian only shrugged. "I only know as much as you do", Damian said.

"Hey, Mr. And Mrs., come on. We have to save Madoka. I already know where she is. You can finish your argument till then", Reji said, already beginning to walk away, Ryuuga chuckling behind him.

"Plus, we also have some traitors to see as well".

Kyouya and Damian glared at each other.

Damian cleared his throat. "Let me clarify something. I'm the Mr."

"I swear I'll stab you where you stand!"

With Madoka

Weak and pathetic. That is how Madoka felt. She couldn't do anything. She has already lost everyone. What can she do now? A drop of rain brought Madoka back to reality, much to her dismay. Her eyes met with a beautiful ship with pure white sails. Carving decorated the ship, adding a gentle appeal. But why was she at the sea port?

Suddenly she was pulled by an arm latching on to her waist, earning a squeak of surprise.

"Calm, my dear. You have been spaced out from the moment we left", Jack told her. Her eyes trailed to the ship once again. Jack noticed. "You like it?"

Madoka snapped her head to meet his eyes. "Are you serious?" she fumed with anger and broke from his hold. "Darling", Jack pouted. "You kidnap me, kill my mother and probably killed my friends...And you ask if I like your ship?" Madoka shouted, cutting him off.

"Well...do you?" he asked once again.

Pretty ironic a ship like that belongs to him, she thought.

"Wait", it had barely occurred to her. "Are we going aboard?"

Jack smiled and chuckled. "To our new life!", he cooed at her. Madoka just glared in response. "READY TO SAIL!", Yuu shouted from the watch tower. Jack nodded and roughly grabbed Madoka onto the ship.

Madoka's eyes grew in surprise. She had been holding onto a lace of hope and now it was gone. Jack's voice ordering his minions was overclouded by Madoka's own thoughts. Slowly, the ship began to retreat into the open sea. Another drop of water fell on Madoka's face, appearing to be a tear. She looked up and was met with enormous, gray clouds.

Madoka turned to look at the castle along with the life she took for granted. Her arm was then jerked and thrown into a room. It was nice with a luxurious bed and a beautiful bed header. "I'll come to join you in a minute or two", Jack said before leaving and locking the door behind him. Once he left, Madoka fell to her knees and wept.

Back at the port

The four boys arrived to see the ship already leaving. They were too late. Or so they thought. "Come on", Reji said, jumping into the water. Ryuuga gave him a look of disbelief. "You expect us to swim?".

"I expect you three to trust me", Reji said, head popping out of the water. The three boys reluctantly jumped in the water where Reji closed his eyes an opened them to reveal them a stunning jade green. He grabbed hold of the three and, in a flash, was on the ship.

The three boys coughed and took in deep breaths. "You could warn us when you do your creepy voodoo magic", Ryuuga gave him an annoyed look. Reji rolled his eyes. "Come on. We have to make sure the three guards are dealt with first". The other three nodded.

"Let's finish this before the storm gets any worse", he says as rain begins to fall rather hard.

Back in the Captain's Chambers, Madoka sat at the edge of the bed with her knees tucked in. Her costume from the event, barely drying, felt the most comfortable of all things. The door unlocked and was closed shut as Jack entered.

"Well, my love. No one will disturb us tonight", Jack smirked, no hint of regret in his voice. He chuckled softly at Madoka's confused expression. Jack turned an slipped off his jacket, only leaving a unbuttoned white shirt which revealed a bit of his fairly nice skin. Jack then began to slowly make his way towards the frightened girl. "No need to be scared. We are going to get married after all" Jack laughed. Madoka took the opportunity and ran towards the door but made no success. The red haired man has a tight grip on her arm and he proceeds to carry her bridal style. "Shh..it's okay", he laid her down on the bed, keeping a strong hold on her. He hovered over her, his knee in between her legs and her arms locked over her head.

Realization struck Madoka and she gasped, trying to break from his grip and screaming for help. "Shh...my love", he hushed her as he began to softly lay kisses on her neck.

Her cerulean orbs watered as she sreamed. "PLEASE! STOP! HELP!"

"She said to get off!" a familiar voice growled. Before Jack could react, a sharp kick sent him flying off Madoka. He groaned in pain. Madoka was pulled into a bone crushing hug. She didn't mind the pain. Her fingers wove in Kyouya's green locks. She breathed in his scent.

"It's really you...it's you...oh my gosh", she spoke out in sobs. Kyouya lets go of her and cups her face, their eyes meeting one another's'. "We're here now...its okay now". His dark eyes assured her everything was going to be fine. Suddenly he was punched to the other side of the room.

"I really don't like you", Jack breath heavily and spit out blood.

"Get out of here Madoka!", Kyouya shouted as he lunged at Jack. She hesitated but listened. She sprinted out of the room where she was pulled into a hug. Before she could scream, Ryuuga's voice calms her. "You're really here", she hid her face in his neck.

"Of course, why would we leave you?" Reji spoke, his eyes showing concern. Madoka pulled out of the hug and held out her hand towards the snake-man, who let out a verdant glow and landed on Madoka'shand as a small leafy snake, wrapping himself around her wrist. She giggled softly.

Her eyes then trailed over to Damian who was avoiding her stare. She walked over to him and slapped him. Ryuuga let out an "Ouch" in the background.

Damian bit his lip. "Okay...I deserved that", he said, rubbing his cheek. Madoka then pulled him into an embrace. "I'm so glad you came".

"What are friends for?", Damian gave her a warm smile as he let her go.

The heartwarming moment was interrupted by Kyouya crashing into Ryuuga. Jack appeared holding a blade, covered in bruises as well.

"What's wrong? Got tired of me already?!" Jack charged but before he can lay a finger on any of them, Damian intervened. "Go and take Madoka with you" Damian shouted.

Kyouya and Ryuuga shook their heads. "We're not leaving without you!", ran in Damian's ear.

Reji took the chance to carry Madoka bridal-style. She gave him a worried questioning glance. "I'll be back for them. You know I can only take one person at a time", he assure her. Reji then began to run, catching Jack's attention.

"Where are you taking her?! SHE"S MINE!", he screamed. The remaining three charged at him. Reji jumped into the shadows and was at the castle. The traitorous guards were tied up with Hikaru keeping an eye on them. Once her eyes laid on Madoka, she glomped her. "YOU"RE OKAY!OH THANK YOU", she sobbed into her friend's shoulders.

Madoka returned the embrace. She held on tight, hoping the other three were okay.

"I'll be back" Reji said before running into the shadows.

At the ship, the four were fighting in the heavy rain. Waves crashed against the ship. Thunder crackled and lighting flashed. Blades were clashed together creating a beautiful chime.

Ryuuga and Kyouya both kicked and punched Jack, sending him flying to the brink of the ship's edge. He coughed and weakly rose again. Damian was breathing hard, the rain also making it hard for him as well as the others. While the four are busy brawling, a tremendous wave began to build up. The wave caught the four off guard as it fell on the ship, sending them in either direction. Once the water cleared, Kyouya coughed up salt water. Damian was beside him in the same condition. Kyouya then began to look frantically for his brother. Through the rain, he was able to catch a dash of white hair.

Ryuuga was close yet safely far from the edge of the ship. Jack was nowhere to be seen. Kyouya sighed in relief. As he began to stand and help Damian up, he was tackled to the floor. "KYOUYA!", Ryuuga's voice boomed in concern.

Jack straddled Kyouya as he laughed, almost insanely.

"You will pay for what you took from me", he yelled, lifting the blade. Kyouya gasped and closed his eyes shut.

When he felt no impact, he opened his eyes to barely see Ryuuga tackling Jack, sending the blade flying. A luminous lighting struck the ship, setting it ablaze. Kyouya can then see the ship begin to break. Just as we was about to help Ryuuga, he was pulled by the collar by Reji. "Come on! We're leaving!", Reji pulled him.

Kyouya;s eyes widen. "No! Not without Ryuuga!", he screamed. His eyes looked over to Ryuuga and Jack fighting, lit by the fire. "This ship is gonna sink!", Reji tried to make him snap into sense. Kyouya growled and broke from the grip and ran towards his brother.

Ryuuga noticed and ran towards him as well. Just before they made contact, Ryuuga grabbed him and pulled into a hug.

"Please be happy".

Kyouya's eyes grew and in a flash, Ryuuga threw him towards Reji who latched onto him and ran towards the shadows. Kyouya let tears stream down his cheeks. "RYUUGA!".

Ryuuga only smiled as the ship began to burn and sink. Jack threw a punch but Ryuuga caught it in time. He held him down. "You'll die", Jack said.

"I know. But you will too".

At the castle

Kyouya fell to his knees. His brother. Madoka laid her hand on his shoulder. Damian and Hikaru only looked at him sympathetically. Reji only stayed emotionless.

Madoka slipped her hand into Kyouya's and together they rose. "He's in a better place", Madoka consoled. Kyouya slowly nodded. "What about you?"

Madoka sighed.

"I have to take over my mother's work".

"I'll be by your side", Kyouya says, a light blush on his face. Madoka smiles. Reji nods as well. "Same here!", Hikaru bows. Damian sighs. "What kind of friend am I if I leave you behind now?" he jokes. Madoka chuckles and nods.
