Me: A belated Merry Christmas to everyone!

(Pops head out from sound-proof box) Zoey: I take it you're having a good holiday?

Me: You bet! I had an awesome Christmas, and I'm somehow balancing my revision at the same time.

(Pops head out of sound-proof box) Elliot: Don't slack off!

(Through gritted teeth) Me: I'm not planning on it!

Zoey: Let's just hope it pays off, or you may be out of commission for a while.

Me: Anyway, it's back to you two to do the disclaimer.

Elliot: Fair enough. On your mark.

Me: On with the disclaimer!

Zoey and Elliot: Princess Mew Mew does not own Tokyo Mew Mew or anything to do with it, it belongs to Mia Ikumi.

(Flowery background and eyes sparkly) Me: Because if I did, these two would have ended up together!

Zoey: We'll leave you to it. (She and Elliot disappear back into box)

Me: Now, on with the chapter!

I have used the English names in case, and the characters are OC.

In advance I apologise if I have got the ages incorrect but I tried, although I shall make no changes.

Chapter 50 The Trial of a Princess

'Finally the truth is revealed... And so begins the final battle'

It was meant to be mine and Elliot's birthday, I was meant to be moving in with him that night after our birthday party. After such a long time of struggling to break free from the person I had created since birth, it was like everything was finally falling into place, I thought I was finally free... Zoey thought to herself.

But Dren ruined this special day with something I had thought would never be true, something I had prayed would never be true...

He told me I was who he had been searching for over this last year. He told me I was Princess Mew Mew...


Elliot's eyes looked at the pained expression on his love's face when Dren forcefully pulled her hair away from the back of her neck, his hand scathing and cruel on her arm. The words he had uttered forever lodged in his mind.

Princess Mew Mew... She is Princess Mew Mew...

When he met her eyes the look within them caused a gasp to become lodged in his throat. For the first time since he had known her, she had never looked so scared. Tears threatened to spill but even then she refused to submit to them.

"Zoey..." he called gently.

A shadow of her smile dawned upon her lips the moment he said her name, happiness flooded her but she couldn't bring the strength to show her true smile, despite the truth he could still see the person behind the mask.

"Elliot... Help me...please..." she whispered.

Elliot nodded his head soundly and approached her captor, sword set at his side and ready to strike him down.

"Let her go, Dren," he ordered.

Even the calmness in his voice could make anyone shiver in fear. But Dren didn't back down. He bent down to Zoey's ear and smirked.

"Or else what?"

"How about if you let her go, you don't get beaten to a bloody pulp, you bastard!" Elliot responded firmly.

Dren slowly got to his feet, his hand toyed with the drop of power he had taken from the wildcat.

"An interesting proposal...but I think I'll pass," he replied, a mocking tone etched into his voice. "You see, no one has actually thought about how much power she has in her body."

He brought forward the glowing object.

"Think of this as a drop of water in one of your oceans, then think of how much water there is on this planet. Now you know how much power one drop of Blue Aqua there is, think how powerful it would be if you could match that to the amount of water there is on Earth. Then you'll start to realise how much power the little princess has."


At that moment he drew a pair of crystals, orange and white, and forced them into Zoey's body. She gave a choking gasp before beginning to slip into unconsciousness. He then sent a pulsing sensation towards her the moment she began to fall to the ground, and placed her within an oxygen sphere. Elliot's hand gripped tighter around the hilt of his sword.

"Why? Why do you need her so badly?" he asked.

Dren's smirk widened.

"Whoever controls her, controls the fate of planets. She has more than enough power to create, and destroy them."

"She would never do that willingly!" Elliot roared.

"Precisely why I need to do this." Dren laughed.


Suddenly a group of people teleported into the courtyard, the Mew Mews looked over to the party and saw Sardon and Tarb, along with two other people, a man and a woman. Kikki's eyes immediately went to the woman, they widened in surprise and her smile became broad.

"Hey! She looks like Zoey!" she cried.

The girls followed her gaze and realised that she was right, brown and ruby red hair and bright pink eyes, almost identical structure in body and face, if she was any younger they could have been mistaken for twins.

"Do you think that could be...her mother?" Corina asked.


Sardon looked between Dren and Zoey, shock wrote itself across his face, his mind unable to even comprehend what was going on. Quickly he found his voice and shouted.

"Your Highness, what are you doing?" he questioned, although it was clear he didn't want to hear the answer.

The alien prince looked over to him and gave a smirk.

"Sardon, Tarb! Oh! And Deep Blue and Lady Evangeline as well! Now we really have a party, don't we?" he laughed.

Lady Evangeline saw her daughter in her prison, her motherly instincts kicked in.

"Dren, what are you doing? Let her go!" she cried.

"Your mission was to find her and bring her home. What is the meaning of this?" Deep Blue demanded.

Dren laughed again, almost in hysterics.

"I'm afraid there's been a change of plan, Your Majesty," he looked down at the orb and smirked. "And with this, no one will be able to stop me!"


In that instant he forced the power into his body and became consumed in its light. Everyone could only watch in terror as he took her power as his own, all of them fearing what he might do.

When the light finally ceased they were shocked. Dren's clothes had changed to those of the Blue Knight, though in dark green, his twin blades had joined together in one long sword, his pupils narrowed into slits and his smile was like the devil's.

"Such power...even in the smallest drop...she truly is a goddess." Dren drawled.

The wolf slowly stepped forward, her hand ran over the flat skin of her stomach, as though feeling her unborn baby breathing and kicking, desperate for its mother's friend to come back to her side.

"WHY? Why do you want her so badly? She's just a normal girl! A strong, brave, pure-hearted girl!" Renee bawled.

"I'm sure you girls remember when I told you about her three months ago. I told you that she has the power to create and destroy worlds, that she is the equivalent of a goddess. No being on this planet deserves to be in her presence, she is by far the most superior creature on any planet within the galaxy, there is nothing that could even reach a fraction of her power. The creator of Blue Aqua, its maker, and its keeper." Dren explained. "Now, after fifteen years of it building within her, her long dormant spirit has finally awakened, after spending so long trapped in its prison. Though I was hoping that she would lose the human consciousness she had of this world and be more co-operative, but even the most carefully laid plans have its unexpected factors, in other words you and your friends, Blue Knight."

Dren's eyes met Elliot's as he continued to speak.

"The resistive force of the Mew Mew's existence acted as an enhancer to her will, if she had never encountered you then she would have been easy to take. She developed the strength to fight back because of you. Ironic, isn't it? The hope and will that you brought her has only made her even more powerful. In the end you ended up helping me."


Elliot ignored his words and stared at Zoey's sleeping form, her arms limp and lifeless at her sides and her hair swirling around her like a halo; her face was pained, anguish laced through her peaceful features. Even in her prison her thoughts transmitted to him through one of her many gifts.

"Elliot...stop him... I know you can do it... Stop him from destroying our home..."

He gazed at her, even when it seemed impossible, she still fought.

"Zoey..." he whispered.

Dren heard his voice and laughed, a feral cackle in the rapidly dropping air.

"It's no use, so don't bother. There is no way she is going to hear you, there is no way she can fight back."

The Blue Knight tore his eyes away from his fiancée. Met Dren's amber eyes with a terrifying glower. Cold ice daggers sinking into his ghostly flesh.

"You may think that she is defenceless, that she cannot fight back, but the strength of her heart is far stronger than you realise. Even as I speak, she fights back, fights to keep herself alive with hope for the Earth, hope for the future, and hope for the people she cares about," he said ominously. "She has faith in us to put an end to your plans, and I am not one to let her down."

The alien prince did his best to hide a gulp.


Back at the cafe Wesley watched the whole thing on the computer monitor through Minimew's camera perspective from a rooftop nearby.

"I should have realised it sooner. How fast her powers evolve, how she heals so fast, how she makes everything possible. When all the pieces are in place, there really is no other person who could have been Princess Mew Mew."

Quickly he got into contact with Renee.

"Renee, is everything okay?"

"Wesley! I'm guessing you've been watching?" she replied.

"Yeah... How's Elliot?" he asked.

"I think he feels responsible for all that's happened. I'm not sure, but I think his temper is going to go at any second, he already looks like he wants to strangle Dren, I don't even want to think about what he would do if he went any further."

The twenty-five-year-old breathed a sigh.

"We promised that everything would be special for them when they come back here. Renee, you and the others, please be careful and come back safely. There's something I want to ask you."

He heard a soft chuckle on the other end of the line.

"Don't worry, if I know Zoey as well as you know Elliot, I'm sure we can win this. Also there's something I want to tell you too. I promise I'll come back to you...I love you, Wesley."

"I love you too, Renee...please stay safe."

Their heartfelt communication ended and he turned his attention back to the matter at hand.


Back at the courtyard Dren brushed his knuckles against Zoey's prison, his lips morphed into a smirk as he watched the unrestrained anger burning in Elliot's eyes, how he toyed with his beloved like a little marionette.

"What a pity that she's not able to watch this, I'm sure it would have brought a tear to her eye, but from what I've seen that isn't an easy feat, is it?" he drawled. He glanced over his shoulder at her pained face, her brow furrowed and her hands clutching the treasures she bore with such happiness. His smile widened. "You know, when I'm done here, I think I'll take her with me. She'll make quite the delectable trophy, don't you think?"

Elliot glared at him silently, his body shaking in fury.

"You twisted bastard. Taking an innocent girl for your own gain and making her suffer this torture? You really are just a tyrannical scumbag."

Dren bowed graciously, as though he had just been given a standing ovation.

"You are too kind. But that's enough with the compliments. I believe it's time to see how you stand against me."


Bridget clutched her hands to her chest, her eyes wide and brimming with salty tears, trailing down her cheeks in horrific stains.

"All this time, she was who we were looking for, who we were protecting. Yet she was the one protecting us, and now she is suffering because of our ignorance," she muttered.

Corina placed a hand on the eighteen-year-old girl's shoulder, doing her best to give some form of comfort while she let her own angry tears fall.

"She's always put on a strong face for us, every struggle we went through, she was there for us. She never backed down from a fight and always managed to pull through even when it was impossible. The will to keep going, the hope that drove us on, she really is a princess," she said.


Kikki clenched her fists tightly and pointed towards Dren, fury growing within her yellow eyes.

"For making my big sisters cry, and for hurting Mamma Mew Mew, I'll punish you!" she yelled.

With those words she charged.

Dren easily saw the tamarind coming and extended his hand. Electricity spiked within his palm then lightning shot from his fingertips. Blood red shocks surged through Kikki's body and sent her flying back to her friends, landing in a heap on the stone floor. The porpoise gasped and quickly knelt down to her aid.

"Kikki! Are you alright?" she cried.

But before Kikki could say anything Dren sent a ray of lightning over them, which they quickly dodged, Kikki in Bridget's arms.


The alien prince turned towards Elliot and sent an attack surging towards him. The Blue Knight quickly leapt out the way and joined the ranks of the other Mew Mews, a scowl set upon his lips and his eyes flickered with determination. Bridget set the youngest Mew Mew back on her feet where she gave an irritated shout.

"What should we do? I'm getting really angry right now!"

Renee glanced over to Elliot before meeting Bridget's green eyes.

"There's only one thing we can do," she concluded.

The porpoise nodded her head silently.

"That's right, there is no other way," she agreed.

"So it's come to this, there's no other choice." Corina confirmed.

Elliot looked at the others and gave a sigh.

"I'd personally hoped it wouldn't come to this...but in this case, I guess I'll have to make an exception."

A smirk coiled its way across his lips and he pointed his sword towards Dren.

"We fight 'til the end!"


The girls ran towards their opponent, their weapons drawn. Corina was first to step up to the plate.

"Heart, Arrow!" she shouted.

She sent her attack again and again but she couldn't break through Dren's defence. It was only a moment later that a lightning bolt hit her squarely in the stomach. She crashed to the ground with a groan of pain, anguish shooting through her spine without even the slightest of mercy.

Bridget rushed to her side and did her best to bring her into a sitting position, her eyes moved up to Dren and a scowl formed on her lips.

"This is too much," she murmured. Hastily she brought herself to her feet and aimed her castanets. "Deep Sea Surge, Attack!"

The watery attack flew straight for its target only for the alien prince to break it apart with a lightning attack and send her flying backwards, her body crashing into the wall with a deafening crunch.

Her attempt was quickly followed by Kikki, she cart wheeled forward and sent forward her attack, which was joined a second later by Renee.

"Tambourine, Trench!" she cried.

"Whip, Inferno!" the wolf roared.

The tamarind's jelly substance encased their opponent and the whip lashed around him. Dren smirked within his prison and sent out a bolt of lightning, smashing it into slivers. The two Mew Mews quickly jumped out of the way, it quickly streaked past them but it swerved and met its targets. They slumped to the ground in pain, groans escaped their lips and their eyes fell shut.


Elliot stood by, his eyes only upon Dren. He glanced at his friends and spoke.

"Come on guys! We have to end this!" he shouted. His eyes turned to Zoey. "Zoey is in that sphere, and we promised that we would stand by each other and protect one another. She kept her promise to us, now we have to keep our promise to her. I am not going to break my promise to her!"

Corina slowly hoisted herself to her feet.

"But how can we get to her? Dren's making it impossible!" she cried.

The teenage boy slowly began to walk forward.

"That doesn't matter, if I've learnt anything from Zoey since we first met, it's that nothing is impossible," he explained calmly. "You're all injured, I'm not going to make you fight anymore. Now, it's my turn."

He poised his sword and set himself in a stance, eyes glinting with a vengeance.


Dren threw an enormous ball of energy towards them, surging black streaked with blood swept through the air at tremendous force. The girls quickly stepped in front of Elliot and readied their weapons.

"Mew Mew Extension!" they cried.

A barrier formed between them and the attack, enormous power beating upon them, forcing them back, their heels scraped into the ground as they struggled against its might. With one final surge of energy they were flung back, their bodies glowed as they crashed into the wall behind them, dents left where chunks of stone fell to the ground around them.

Renee was slumped on her knees, her body battered and bruised, her hand in place on her stomach. She glanced down wearily at her clothes.

"Our transformation dissolved," she murmured.

Corina hoisted herself up on her elbows and looked at the wolf, a long thin gash of blood trailing down her cheek.

"Why did this happen?" she asked.


Zoey meanwhile could see all that had happened. Her subconscious drifted as an invisible force from her body and leapt out of the prison, a translucent image of her human self that no one could see.

"Everyone..." she stammered.

Her body shook beneath the mass of ragged white ribbons that tangled around her.


Sardon, Tarb and the Mew Royal Family could only stare at the battle before them. The Mew Mews were almost no more than crumpled heaps on the floor, struggling to fight against the impossible, and Elliot stood determined in the centre of the courtyard, power practically static around him. The youngest alien glanced over at Kikki and let his eyelids droop, a small frown formed on his lips.

"That's absurd. They are fools. Huge fools if they think they can stop the impossible. There is no way to beat him, even with the Blue Knight's strength, it is just impossible."

His words hung painfully in the air. Every single one nothing but the sad, painful truth.

Zoey's subconscious continued its inner battle, desperately darting eyes back and forth between the opponents.

"What do I do...? What can I do...?"

There were so many questions running through her head they were mere fragments. When she finally landed her gaze on her lover his name left her lips like a prayer.

"Elliot..."

She watched him run to the others' side and quickly followed, her feet left the ground and she trailed after him like a ghost, silently floating above his shoulder.

"Everyone! Are you alright?" Elliot asked.

Corina looked at him, her hand clenched into a fist. With a snap she attempted to slap him but he caught her wrist before she could touch him.

"Corina?" he gasped, shocked at her violent attempt.

"How can we beat him? How can you stand by and do nothing? It's so painful, but how can you stand by and just watch Zoey in such pain! That's not the Elliot we know! That's not the Elliot who helps us and pushes us and encourages us to give our all! The real Elliot can sometimes be cold and emotionless to those who aren't as close to him as his friends, and sometimes he keeps secrets from his friends, but he's always loved and protected Zoey no matter the cost, no matter the danger that stood in his way! The real Elliot would do everything in his power so that he could spend another day with the person who broke through the barrier that trapped his heart! He would do anything to bring Zoey back to him! So how long are you going to spout promises and do nothing?" she bellowed. Fresh tears streamed down her cheeks through spiked lashes, hanging from them like icicles.

Bridget quickly joined in with the conversation.

"That's right. Zoey broke through the barriers that left Elliot cold and impossible to break through. She brought him the happiness and the laughter that we finally see. They bring each other the happiness that they thought they might never receive, the love they never thought they would find."

Kikki clambered into a sitting position and smiled.

"I don't know what I would do if Mamma and Papa Mew Mew weren't together. If they weren't together, all the hope we have would be gone."

"Everyone..." Zoey's subconscious whispered, a smile graced her lips.


Elliot looked between the girls and nodded his head, releasing Corina's wrist. Slowly he brought himself to his feet. The lorikeet smiled up at him.

"That's it. That's the Elliot we know, the Elliot Zoey fell in love with," she cheered. "If we don't do something, everyone on this planet will die."

Renee nodded her head.

"It's as everyone says... If we don't stop Dren, Zoey and the Earth..." she murmured.

They all turned around to see Dren raise his sword high above his head. His smirk lay proud upon his face, eyes flickered manically as they met those of Elliot. Zoey's mind released a desperate cry to her lover.

"No! That sword can destroy the planet! Destroy every life without so much as a second blow! You've got to stop him before he uses it, Elliot! Hurry!"

Elliot heard her and ran, his sword set like a lance as he powered closer and closer towards his target.


Power continued to build as Dren used Zoey as a power station, her power making him stronger and stronger with every passing moment. Laughter echoed around them, delight and pleasure at what was to come.

"Finally, Zoey's spirit will break, and this planet will be a pathetic wasteland! Ever since she met you she had the will to fight, no matter what she continued to fight. I've waited impatiently for her to break. With the Earth gone along with all she cares about, she will have nothing to fight for!"

As Elliot surged towards him he shouted.

"What do you plan to do with her then?"

The alien prince only smirked.

"I've said she would make a delectable trophy, maybe I'll make her my queen once this is over."

"And destroying the Earth ensures that!" Elliot roared.

"You and this world have destroyed what darkness and doubt she had, filling with hope and giving her a smile that could disgrace the most beautiful of creatures. She needs to have all ties to this planet severed, and if the only way to do that is to destroy it, so be it." Dren explained.

Elliot's lips twisted into a snarl.

"And what happens to her then? Do you plan on keeping her trapped in that sphere? Or are you going to let her out?"

"When the Earth is gone and she has surrendered, I'll consider it!"

He swung the blade down and crashed it into the ground.


An explosion engulfed the entire city. The earth rose up and became a towering pillar beneath Elliot's feet. Wind battered through the courtyard's door and shrieks filled the air. Buildings smoked from their destruction and slowly began to crumble back to the ground. Minimew's perch upon a nearby building was destroyed without a second thought, sending him flying.

The pillar that supported Elliot's weight eroded and toppled, him falling along with it. His eyes immediately went to Zoey's unconscious body.

"No! Everyone will die!"

He slowly disappeared into the gaping hole in the ground, a massive crater. Quickly he grasped onto the edge and held on, waiting for the right moment to rise from what he knew Dren hoped would be his grave.


Elliot watched as the alien prince brought his sword out of the ground and smiled at his surroundings.

"So this is what Zoey's power can do. Another few strikes and all living things on this planet will be extinguished." Dren gloated.

The Blue Knight climbed out of the hole, his eyes a firm glare upon his opponent.

I promised Zoey that I would protect her and this planet. I refuse to let her down. He thought, gritting his teeth.

In that moment he met Dren's amber eyes, his face became expressionless.

"You're still around. How typical of you." He raised his sword slowly, a smirk making its way across his face. "Whoever opposes me shall be eliminated. I will take great pleasure in taking your life."

As he powered up his attack Elliot leapt over to the other side of the hole.

"Everyone, are you okay?" he asked, his sword gripped tightly in his hand.

Kikki used the doorframe to bring herself to her feet, a strained smile on her face.

"I can't be sleeping at a place like this. When my father's not around, I have to protect my siblings."

Her hand slipped and she found herself falling. A sense of surprise filled her and her eyes closed, waiting for the impact to come. Tarb was quickly at her side, followed by Sardon, Deep Blue and Lady Evangeline. He caught her before she hit the ground and supported her weight, her arm draped over his shoulder and his hand firmly clamped down on her shoulder.

"Are you okay?" he asked.

The tamarind opened her eyes and gave him a weak smile.

"Tar-Tar, thank you," she murmured.

He cast his eyes down to the ground, eyes almost shedding tears.

"I said you guys were fools before, but the foolish one was me. I should never have listened to Dren! Damn him!" he swore.

With what strength she had Kikki tightened her grip on him, brought him closer to her. A slight blush touched her cheeks as a small smile touched her lips.

"Cheer up, Tar-Tar! Now that you're with me, I'm a hundred times more powerful."

The young alien flushed slightly at her words.


Sardon stood by Bridget's side silently, arms folded across his chest and his face void of expression. The eighteen-year-old looked up at him with dark grey eyes and smiled slightly.

"Sardon..." she whispered.

"After all this time, this was his true intention. We were all blinded by his fake promises and feigned sense of duty. No one would have thought he would plan something like this," he explained.

Her hand reached up and touched his shoulder, her lips curled into a soothing smile.

"He had everyone fooled, there was nothing you could do about that."

For the first time, the porpoise saw his smile.


Deep Blue stepped towards Elliot, their eyes meeting. Neither spoke. Neither moved. Staring each other down with no emotion on their faces. Finally after a length of silence the King spoke.

"You care about my daughter, correct?" he asked firmly.

Elliot nodded his head.

"More than anything in the world," he answered in the same tone.

"In that case, fight. Fight like you always have. Fight to protect her. You're the only one capable of doing it."

Elliot saw the look in his eyes, it was like an unspoken consent for him and Zoey. He glanced back at the others.

Kikki in Tarb's arms, Bridget and Sardon stood side by side, Corina kneeling on the ground, and Renee with her hand on her stomach and Lady Evangeline at her side. They said his names.

"Papa Mew Mew..."

"Blue Knight..."

"Elliot..."

Their final words to him.

"Fight and bring her back."


Elliot nodded his head, his hand clenched even more tightly around the hilt of his sword, he stared in silence towards Zoey's sleeping form, his voice no more than a whisper.

"Zoey, I may not know what I should do. But...I made a promise to you that I would protect you and our friends. And I would never break a promise to you!"

His sword pointed towards Dren, eyes flashing dangerously through blue flames.

"Dren! I will not allow you to continue this! Everyone is being hurt! You will not get away with this!" he roared. His weapon flickered with bright blue power, flaring brighter and brighter by the second. "Jade Sword, Final Judgement!"


Dren's eyes narrowed when he saw the power building within his captive's lover, instinct kicked in and he put up a shield between him and Elliot. Their power clashed and brilliant light consumed the two. One striking to break through, while the other struggling to hold it back. Elliot could hear Zoey's voice in his ears, giving her encouragement even in impossible circumstances.

"Come on, Elliot! You can do it! I'm with you all the way!"

He closed his eyes and smiled, an image of Zoey smiled back at him, chocolate eyes shining and brown and ruby red hair blowing elegantly around her.

Zoey, you've always been there. You've always supported me and smiled for me. I have always loved you, Zoey.

You became a Mew Mew and begun a life that was different from a normal girl's...but you hung in there, you always smiled.

You were embarrassed, afraid of yourself, not because you were a Mew Mew, but because you were afraid of how amazing, how perfect you were. Eventually you overcame that and became comfortable in your own skin.

When I proposed to you and you said yes, you made me the happiest person in the world. I will free you.

Elliot struggled against Dren's shield, his feet scraping back against the ground and scratches and cuts tarnished his body, but he refused to surrender. Through the blazing light he glared at his opponent, power and fury mingled in his veins.

"This is nothing! I refuse to allow Zoey to suffer at your hands!" he whispered solemnly.


Although his attack was getting weaker. No matter how strong he was, all attacks have to end, and his was coming down fast.

A voice rang in his ears.

"Elliot!" it cried.

With that one word his power went beyond its limits. His dwindling assault burst with newfound power, extraordinary, impossible...

Before his eyes a ghostly figure floated beside him, hair blowing around her shoulders and eyes shining more brilliantly than the stars, Zoey stood by his side. He looked at her with wide eyes, her transparent arms wrapped around his shoulders and her body wrapped in ragged white ribbons, large slender wings curled around them, an invisible barrier against Dren's power.

With such strength they broke his attack, a cat scratch clear on Dren's cheek that oozed scarlet down his face. In a quick escape Zoey's subconscious wrapped her arms around her lover and with a beat of her wings, flew him to the opposite side of the hole. Dren's face contorted into a smirk, his fingers wiped away the crimson that splattered him.

"Impressive, but that won't hold forever."

Elliot however paid him no heed, his eyes were only for Zoey's ghostly form, he listened to her melodious voice in silence.

"Elliot, I'm sorry. If I had known..." she stammered.

He shook his head.

"You couldn't have known. You may be the lost princess, but you are still the chosen super lady, the chosen leader of the Mew Mews. You are still the same girl I fell in love with..." he whispered. "You becoming Mew Ichigo wasn't an accident, Zoey. Everything that has happened since we first met was never an accident. It is certainly how the Earth wanted it to be, how the universe wanted it to be. I will save you... The only one who can save the Earth...is you. Only you can do it. Also Bridget, Corina, Kikki, Renee, and me, together we will save the home we love..." he whispered to her. "In order for you to get the Blue Aqua in the end...for the sake of our future...we'll do whatever it takes to save you."


The girls hurried over to Elliot's side, looks of anxiety clear on their faces.

"Elliot!" Corina cried.

"Are you alright?" Bridget asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Are you guys okay?" he asked.

"There's no more energy left to transform. We're practically sitting ducks!" Kikki explained.

The teenage boy thought for a moment, fingering the pendant around his neck, the drop of Blue Aqua that remained inside shining slightly in the light. He removed it from his neck and handed it to them.

"Your Blue Aqua! Elliot, are you sure?" Renee asked.

Elliot sighed heavily.

"Just a little bit is left, but it should be enough. This is the end, so it's now or never."

The Mew Mews nodded their heads and held their power pendants out to it. The drop broke into little pieces and flooded into their power sources.

"Power Pendant, Mewamorphosis!" they cried.

Once they were transformed Elliot continued to speak.

"Everyone, thank you, I nearly lost sight of what is most important to me. We have to do whatever it takes to protect the Earth and save Zoey."

"Right!" the girls cheered.

The boy glanced over his shoulder towards Zoey's unconscious form, a slight smile touched his lips.

Zoey, in order to protect the Earth and save you, I will give everything I've got! He thought.

They leapt in for the attack and struck.


The final battle begins. Now to save the princess. May her heart stay strong even in the impossible.
