*Chapter 5*
(A Final Choice)
Zech's chuckled evilly as he held Mina above the ground by her throat. Mina gasping for breath as Zech's held up a large bottled gun to her chest. Mina looked at the purple, boiling fluids in the gun and began to think where she saw it before. She couldn't remember a thing, all she could think about was how much she needed help. Then Zech's looked over to the secret passages door as Recca, Duo, Darien, Yanagi and a handful of hired men with Rei and Amy, walked through it. Zech's blinked and asked sternly. "Where is he?"
Recca shook his head. "I'm not sure. I went to go get him and he should have followed."
"Damnit I can't do this without him! Damn him!" Zech's snarled and threw Mina into the wall, her body slammed against it and she fell slowly down to the floor. Mina grabbed her throat catching her breath as she looked up at the 4 men, from where she lay.
"Don't tell me you're all in this together!" Mina managed slowly but forcefully, as her blood slowly dripped down her throat. Her body grasping for air.
The 4 of them laughed and grinned. Duo and Darien went up to Mina and picked her up off the ground each one grabbing a arm. Duo spoke up first smirking. "You know there are some others who helped us find you."
Darien grinned and added. "Yeah and they're pretty good in other ways too."
"What the fuck are you guys talk......." Mina trailed off as Recca held a knife to her back slowly stabbing it into her. Mina's eyes squinted as the blood started to drip down her back, through her shirt.
"Shutup Bitch!" Recca snapped. "You have nothing to say until he gets here." Recca reached around Mina from behind with his left hand and grabbed her around her waist, trailing the knife around her opposite side leaving blood dripping from the long cut, with his right hand.
Mina squinted in pain as the blood dripped down her side. Now her fear rest more so in losing blood then the fear of being hurt by the men. She wasn't afraid to die. Soon Zech's smiled as a figure came into the small room. "There you are, we've been waiting for you Boss." Zech's walked over to the dark figure.
A mans semi normal tone voice began to speak. "Is she ready? I don't like to kill people when they aren't ready for it." He slowly began descending into the room. Mina suddenly had a wave of evil force blast into her body and thoughts as she glared onto the man.
Recca nodded violently and squeezed Mina toward him, the knife going into her stomach now. "You are ready to die aren't ya bitch?"
Mina looked over at the dark man, trying to ignore the blood lose and the knife. "Not until you tell me who the fuck you are!" Mina screamed as loud as she could. Her whole body trembling in pain and struggling for a few more minutes to live.
The man laughed and walked over to her, into the light. His long, red hair in a pony tail, his sword at his side and his bright purple eyes sparkling. He looked down on her and leaned over to her ear. "It's Kenshin."
Mina's eyes widen as she heard his name. The man she once loved was now her killer and what about Lita! Mina looked at him as Duo and Darien let go of her arms. Recca stepped back letting Mina's bloody body, fall into Kenshin's arms. Kenshin held her up and looked down at her. "Now Mina transform...." Kenshin dropped her to the ground and she fell to her side, to tired to hold herself up. Her blood fell to the floor from her stomach, side, back and neck, as she held her hand over it. She looked up to them.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Mina had to pretend not to know that she was Sailor Venus. For if she transformed she would be killed, if not by the blood lose and tiredness then by the men. Recca picked Mina up by her hair and hit her across her face with the back end of his knife, leaving a small cut that began to bleed. Mina turned her head away from Recca as he spoke harshly to her.
"You know what we're talking about Sailor Venus! This is going to be sweet for what you fucking did to me! Do you have any idea what you did when I let you hit me like that! You can't just fuck with me and my life MINA AINO!" Recca was pushed away by Zech's who stood calmly in front of her now as she tried to stand, but only fell to her knees in horrible suffering.
Zech's smiled and looked onto the others, Rei and Amy. Then turned to Mina, smiling. "You know my dear, they only got a few minutes before they die. Do you really want them to die Mina? Sailor Venus could save them by transforming." Zech's blinked as Yanagi stepped up to him and covered his mouth with her hand.
Yanagi spoke sweetly. "Let me handle this, woman to woman." Zech's nodded as Yanagi stepped up to Mina on the floor. Yanagi snarled as she kneeled down to Mina and said to her as her dress began to fall off her body from kneeling. "Mina, what is holding you back?"
Mina looked up at Yanagi and smirked. "You think I'm that stupid of a bitch like yourself?"
Yanagi gasped and slapped Mina across the face getting blood onto her own hand. "Ah! You little slut, I hope you die!" Yanagi stood up and looked at Zech's. "Just kill her!" She turned to Kenshin. "I've got enough power! I am perfect! We don't need the element!"
Kenshin lifted the back of his hand and slapped it across Yanagi's cheek hard, leaving a red mark on her skin. Yanagi screamed and held her hand to her face. Kenshin nodded and began to speak to Mina again. "Just do it!" Kenshin looked harshly as Mina and ordered Recca, Duo, Darien, Yanagi and the other men to step back.
Mina looked over at Rei and Amy and her heart sank again. Mina's blue eyes looked to floor and she placed her hands to it. She got to her knees and began to lift herself up with as much force as she could. Her yellow hair falling into her face, her blue eyes tinted red and her blood staining her body. She could feel her energy telling her 'no' but her heart 'yes'. Mina looked up at the dirty ceiling and pulled her heart crystal from her pocket. She held it in her sweaty, bloody fingers trembling, she slowly began to say. "By the power of Venus, give me strength. Venus Cryst." Mina gasped abruptly and reached for her blood stained neck, she felt another hand on it and she turned her eyes to behind her. She smiled as his grip let up on her neck and she could see who it was. Mina quietly said under her breath. "Sano..."
Kenshin's eyes opened wide as Sanosuke suddenly appeared behind Mina and had stopped her from transforming. "SANOSUKE?? WHEN DID YOU GET HERE???" Recca, Duo, Darien, Yanagi all looked on at this and Yanagi screamed as Darien stood up before Sanosuke chuckling.
Darien spoke to Sanosuke. "You shouldn't have gotten involved Sano, you weren't supposed to find out about this, and now, dear friend, prepare to DIE!" Darien spun around and appeared in his tuxedo therefore becoming Tuxedo Mask! Tuxedo Mask jumped into the air and smiled, throwing down roses at Sanosuke. Sanosuke blinked as the roses gave him small scratches on his arms and he yawned. Tuxedo Mask dived down onto Sanosuke, feet first and sent his right leg flying at Sanosuke's face. Sanosuke simply reached for it and grabbed Tuxedo Mask thus throwing him onto a candle lamp hanging on the wall. Which went straight through his body, Tuxedo Mask snarled as now his body became limp and hung from the wall with a lamp through it. The candle had fallen to the floor and the holder held up Tuxedo Mask's body in its place. Tuxedo Mask died.
Sanosuke looked at Mina who was beginning to faint onto the floor and grabbed her carefully. "Are you alright Mina?" Mina gazed up at Sanosuke and he saw why she was so weak. Mina's body was very heavy and pale as the dried blood on her, looked worse then before and seem to became part of her skin. Her blood shot eyes looked up at him.
Mina reached out her arm and put it around Sanosuke's neck and said very slowly. "Leave me, help Rei and Amy." Sanosuke looked onto Mina's black eyes and saw nothing. Her eyelids began to shut as she closed her mouth slowly. Sanosuke suddenly grunted as Recca stabbed him in the back with one of his knives.
"You are so pathetic Sano-Chan, Now you're playing with fire!" Recca burst out laughing as he forced his knife into Sano's back. Sanosuke grew with rage and swung his body around slamming his arm into Recca's thick head, sending Recca flying into the other wall. Mina gently pulled the knife from Sanosuke's back, collapsing onto the floor with it. Sano quickly turned around saying slowly. "Mina..." Then looked back to Recca, who was standing up from the ground grinning. Recca slowly wiped the blood from his mouth and smirked.
"Sano is that the best you've got???" Recca snarled and lifted his arm into the air. The band on his arm stood out as the writing began to glow and a small fire engulfed his hand. Recca charged over to Sanosuke who stood calmly. Recca thrashed his burning arm at Sanosuke, who stopped it with his right hand. The fire on Sanosuke's hand, from Recca's arm band, slowly began to burn through his skin. Recca smirked and threw his other arm at Sanosuke, who stopped it with his left. Hand in hand the 2 stared each other down. Sanosuke grinned.
"I don't have time to waste on your sorry ass Recca." Sanosuke squeezed his hands onto Recca's who began to scream as his hands bones began to break. The fire on his hand went out. Everyone squinted as the bones cracked and Recca snarled. Sanosuke swung his leg under Recca knocking him to the ground, Recca stared up. Sanosuke let go of his hands and slammed his foot into Recca's chest. Recca screamed as his blood began to pour out from his mouth. Sanosuke stepped harder, twisting his foot on him. Recca's breath became thin.
"Damn you Sano." Recca's voice trailed off as more blood streamed out of his mouth and he slowly faded. Recca's eyes slowly shut up and his head tilted slightly leaning to the floor. Recca's arm band's glowing writing slowly began to fade and calm. Sanosuke turned around and looked at Duo.
Duo smirked and looked at Sanosuke. "Nice one bud, but I won't be so easy." Sanosuke simply nodded. As Duo pulled out his scythe. The scythe glowed bright green and was about as big as Duo himself. The energy filled the room and Duo was about to attack Sanosuke, lifting it slowly into the air showing it off. But was interrupted as everyone suddenly heard.
"Moon Gorgeous Shocking Blast!" A bright light appeared and a parade of hearts filled the room as everyone ducked for cover. Everyone turned around to see who it was as they also heard a lower tone voice screaming. "Jupiter Oak Evolution!" Lighting shocked everyone in the room but Sanosuke, Mina, Amy or Rei. The room filled with hearts and thundering lighting soon calmed and 2 strange people stood in the door way.
"Prepare for trouble." Said one of the girls.
"And make that double!" Said the lower voice.
"To save this world from devastation."
"To protect all people with in all nations!"
"To announce the powers of truth and love!"
"To extend our reach to the stars above!"
"Sailor Moon!" Sailor Moon stepped out and did her pose with which she would usually do after a transformation.
"Sailor Jupiter!" Sailor Jupiter took a step out and made her pose grinning.
"The Sailor Scouts blast off at the speed of light!"
"Surrender now or prepare to fight!"
"Luna that's right!" Added a small voice from behind the girls as a small black cat made it onto the scene.
Duo made a flat, straight face and spoke softly. "You've got to be kidding me....."
Kenshin grunted loudly as Zech's screamed. "Now who else are we expecting!"
Sanosuke helped Mina off the floor and held her in his arms as they all gazed onto the new girls. Yanagi screamed again in fright. Sailor Moon and Sailor Jupiter simply stood there in amazement at what happened so far. Darien hung from a wall, Recca laid on the floor half dead not moving, Duo held out his scythe, Kenshin holding the heart crystals, Zech's coughed. Sailor Jupiter looked at Kenshin and her heart fell to her feet, but she couldn't let him know who she really was. Sailor Moon having just gone shopping was in a really good mood and began to speak up. "So, uh, now, I'm going to have to kill you Duo, I can handle it Sanosuke."
Sanosuke set Mina's heavy body down next to Rei and Amy who only had about 5 minutes left to live. "Sailor Moon, you don't know what you're getting into! You just brought yourself and Sailor Jupiter's death to yourselves! I told you guys to stay home!"
"Sano, don't worr-" Sailor Moon was cut off as the scythe was held to her body. Sailor Moon looked at Duo and screamed. "NO DUO NO!"
Duo grinned and looked at Kenshin. Kenshin threw him the bottled gun as he was hit in the back hard. Kenshin turned around as Duo grabbed the gun. Sanosuke looked at the 3 girls and then ran over to Duo and grabbed the gun away from him before he could shoot Serena and take her crystal.
Kenshin stared at his enemy, the fair Sailor Jupiter. She stood calmly and looked into his cold purple eyes. She loved him but he was trying to kill her and her feelings soon left her as she lifted her arm to his face. Kenshin blinked and smirked. Sailor Jupiter's eyes widen as she jumped back. Kenshin grabbed her chest and pulled her close to him.
Sanosuke had the gun in his hand and handed it off to Sailor Moon as he pushed her away. Sanosuke turned his attention to Duo. Duo lifted his scythe to Sanosuke's head and swung it at a full speed. Sanosuke ducked and rammed Duo in the stomach screaming as they both fell to the floor. Duo's scythe trailing Sanosuke's arm as they fell. Sanosuke screamed as the scythe cut a deep cut into his arm. It bled heavily down his muscled limb and through his white attire.
Mina looked onto Rei and Amy. Then her attention to Kenshin and Sailor Jupiter. Her eyes finally fell upon Sanosuke and Duo. A concerned looked took over her face. How could she just sit here like this? She began to slowly stand. She knew that no matter what happened she needed to transform. She grabbed her heart crystal once more. Holding it in her trembling hands she began to speak softly. "Oh powers of Venus! Hear my words, my friends are in trouble. By the power of love! Transform! VENUS CRYSTAL POWER!" A bright orange light appeared in the room and everyone stopped and turned. Mina's body was weak, her powers grew stronger. A flood of hearts surrounded her body as she floated in the air spinning slowly in circles. The hearts stuck to her body where her Sailor Scout outfit would appear. Sanosuke got up off Duo and gazed onto her smiling. Mina's hair soon went straight up along side her hands in the air. The heart flew off in all directions. Mina had transformed into Sailor Venus!
Kenshin smirked. "Yes! Now everyone get them!" Kenshin commanded as he grew with pleasure. Everyone of the guards stopped and started to chase after Sailor Venus. Sanosuke blinked as Duo started to run after her. Sanosuke grabbed Duo by his clothes and pulled Duo back to him punching him in his face. Duo snarled. Kenshin chuckled happily as Sailor Jupiter glared at him. She grabbed around his neck trying to choke him. Kenshin grasped for breath, dropping the heart crystals onto the ground.
Sailor Jupiter knew this was a cheap trick. She slowly let go of his neck and jumped back as Kenshin gazed at her. Sailor Jupiter held her hand out gazing at Kenshin. Kenshin blinked. Sailor Jupiter wrapped her arms around herself and began to spin as she shouted. "Jupiter Oak Evolution!" Kenshin grunted as green oak leaves blasted at him. Sailor Jupiter put her arms above her head, circling faster as blasts of green energy began to shoot straight through Kenshin's body. Blood pouring from every hole she made. Kenshin fell to the floor and Sailor Jupiter slowly came to a stop and walked to him.
Sailor Venus saw the men and grinned her chapped lips. Her Sailor outfit never looking so good on her. It seem to give her self confidence. All her physical pain left her for this time. She flicked her bangs away from her tiara as the orange crystal shone brightly. She held her hand to her mouth while the men charged at her. She winked and screamed. "Venus Love and Beauty Shock!" She kissed her hand and swung it in front of her as a deadly shining heart flew at them. The men screamed and ran up through the mini fridge's path. She then quickly turned to Sanosuke.
Sanosuke looked down below him at Duo. Duo's eyes blood shot and his blood dripping from his mouth. Sanosuke got up off him and picked him up. Duo glared at him, his body limp. Sanosuke threw Duo up against the wall, slamming him as hard as he could. Duo's mouth opened but nothing came out to speak. Blood streaming out of him as if he were a fountain. Duo's body dropped to the floor as he glared up at Sanosuke. Sanosuke's attention however fell upon the faire Sailor Venus. Duo squinted his eyes as he looked at the 2. He snarled as his eyes shut slowly and he took his final breath of life.
Sanosuke and Sailor Venus's eyes met and they smiled. Hearing a sudden scream they both turned to Kenshin and Sailor Jupiter. Kenshin down on his back as Sailor Jupiter's fist began to dig into him. Sailor Moon had ran over to Amy and Rei lying on the floor and tried to keep them alive by giving them a little of her moon power. Sailor Moon looking down at her dying friends, she knew that if they didn't get their heart crystals back they would die. Duo and Darien both had died by the hand of Sanosuke. Recca laid on the floor hardly breathing, until his eyes saw something that got his attention fast. Yanagi and Zech's were over on the other side of the room with the heart crystals of Rei and Amy.
Yanagi and Zech's looked over at Kenshin and looked at each other. They both agreed to get out while they still could and Kenshin would die there. Zech's smirked as he and Yanagi headed to the door. Recca looked at Sailor Jupiter and Kenshin, Sailor Venus, Sailor Moon with Rei and Amy. Then he looked back at Sanosuke. Sanosuke hadn't done anything to him but be his best friend, although Recca was faking the entire time.
Recca remembered back to the triple date when he and Mina danced and Mina and his eyes fell upon Lita and Kenshin. Recca's heart sank remembering how beautiful he thought she was and how terrible Kenshin had treated her. Recca blinked in amazement. "What the hell am I thinking??" he questioned himself as he saw Yanagi and Zech's run for the door with the heart crystals in hand. He head went fuzzy and his vision dark as he jumped to his feet and ran after them.
Sanosuke and Sailor Venus turned around as they felt Recca dash past them. Sailor Moon looked up from her hurt friends and Sailor Jupiter blinked as Kenshin's dead body lay there on the floor of the laboratory.
Recca's hand was a giant fire of rage as he screamed. "Setsuna! Stop them!" Recca threw off the arm band from his arm as the entire place turned dark. Yanagi and Zech's turned around, a pale look on each of their faces. The heat in the room made everyone begin to feel faint except for Recca. Recca smirked as his bloody body stood firm and a flaming fire dragon came from his arm. The dragon a blaze began to swarm around the room looking for its victims. Setsuna roared forcefully as Yanagi screamed.
Setsuna knew its next target. A huge flame began to surround Yanagi, who scream in terror at it. Soon smoke began to fill the room and Yanagi's scream faded as the burning dragons eyes soon met Zech's. The dragon left Yanagi's body and chased after Zech's who ran for his life. Recca looks at Setsuna and then to Yanagi's ashy body. Nothing of Yanagi remained. To Recca this was good, To the others, they were confused. A giant deep man's scream filled the room as Zech's was engulfed by the fiery dragon. Recca saw that his dragon's work was done and smirks at the barbecued Zech's. Recca screamed once more. "Setsuna return to me from once you came!" The dragon turned around seeing the tatoo on her masters arm and snarled as she returned to Recca's arm.
The sunrise shown through the small cracks in the sides of the room, as the smoke began to clear and the heat soon left them. Everyone blinked and looked at Recca who replaced his arm band onto his arm. Sailor Venus looked around and saw the heart crystals by Yanagi's remains and took them into her hand. Sailor Moon looked up at Sailor Venus who walked over to Rei and Amy who were barley breathing. Sanosuke kneeled down beside Sailor Venus as she crouched by Rei and Amy handing a heart crystal to Sailor Moon.
Sailor Jupiter however looked at Recca. Recca looked down at his arm band as the bloody burns on his body began to turn into pain. Recca kept his head down and his arm band to him as he slowly began to walk out the door. Sailor Jupiter ran over to him, carefully placing her hands on Recca's shoulders. Recca blinked and quickly turned around at Sailor Jupiter who smiled at him.
"What are you doing Sailor Jupiter? Your friends have their heart crystals, why don't you go see them." Recca sighed as he looked at Sailor Jupiter.
Sailor Jupiter responded. "Recca, why did you help us?"
Recca blushed a bit through his already over heated face and looked down at his arm band, in which 7 fire dragons lived. Recca looked up into Sailor Jupiter's eyes and sighed deeply, shrugging. "I felt like it. Yanagi was a bitch anyway's." Sailor Jupiter laughed a bit and looked over at the group hovering over Rei and Amy. Sailor Jupiter then looked back at Recca, who was staring at the floor. She held out her hand and gently grabbed onto Recca's hand. Recca looked up suddenly at her amazed. "Heh, I." Sailor Jupiter smiled and lead Recca over to the group. He smiled and followed her.
Sailor Moon leaned over Rei and Sailor Venus over Amy. Slowly Sailor Moon placed her hands over Rei's chest returning the small flame crystal to Rei's body. A bright red flash shone as the crystal floated into Rei's body. Sailor Venus placed the sea crystal to Amy's chest, returning to it where it once came. A bright blue flash shined as the crystal sailed into Amy's body. Both the Scouts leaned back off them as Sanosuke looked on smiling. Rei and Amy's eyes soon slowly opened as they sat up and looked at them. Rei pulled her black tangled hair behind her ear and asked. "Where are we?" Amy looked up at Sailor Venus, Jupiter and Moon and confused.
Sailor Venus helped them both off the ground, gently with a smile. "Something that is all over now. We're safe now." Sailor Jupiter smiled as Recca wrapped his arm around her waist. Sailor Moon looked at Sailor Venus as Sanosuke went up behind her wrapping his arms around her shoulders.
"Why don't we get out of here now." Sanosuke suggested. "I bet Kaoru and Hilde are worried about you all."
Sailor Venus nodded and looked at the place as she sighed a bit. All of the group, Sailor Moon, Sailor Venus, Sailor Jupiter, Rei, Amy Sanosuke and Recca looked onto the room one last time as they went through the mini fridges path one last time.
(A few days later)
Mina awoke to the sun beaming down on her face as she smiled. The smell of Lita's bake goods filled the house and she looked over beside her on the floor. Kaoru, Hilde, Amy, Rei and Serena all slept peacefully. But where was Lita? Mina wondered as she stepped out of bed and headed down the hall in her blue boxers and little white tank top. Mina heard Lita giggling as she walked into the kitchen and saw Lita, Recca and Sanosuke standing there. Mina's face went a bright red as Lita turned to face her with a smirk on her face. "You're FINALLY up and about, I invited them over for breakfast as soon as the others are up."
Mina smiled a bit as she looked at Sanosuke standing there in his usual white outfit with "bad" on his back. She also trailed her eyes to Lita's waist and smirked seeing Recca's arm around it. "Ah I see you've been busy Lita." Lita blushed as the timer went off and the breads were done. Sanosuke smirked and pulled Mina to the living room and looked at her.
"I see you've been sleeping in again." Sanosuke laughed seeing her outfit.
"Yeah yeah, of course." Mina smiled and blinked suddenly as Sanosuke took her hand in his. She blushed and looked up at him.
"Mina, Sailor Venus, whoever you are. I'm very proud of what you did for your friends." Sanosuke smiled placing a kiss upon Mina's hand. Mina smirked and wrapped her other arm around Sanosuke's neck.
"Well ya know, we couldn't have done it with out you." Mina looked up into Sanosuke's eyes and he wrapped his other arm around her waist.
"But I don't have magical powers." Sanosuke commented as Mina wrapped her other arm around his neck and pulled him down to her heigh.
"But I'm not as physically strong as you." Mina added as Sanosuke shook his head smiling.
"Fine. Whatever you say." Sanosuke smiled as Mina's lips met his. Sanosuke blinked as Mina kissed him for the first time. Sanosuke smiled and embraced her for a bit until Serena walked in on them.
Serena giggled. "Maybe you 2 should get a room ne?"
They both pulled away and blinked turning to Serena blushing. Mina growled. "You are so dead Serena!" Everyone in the house awoke and looked at Mina running after the screaming Serena around the house. Sanosuke laughed.
"Nah nah! You're not going to catch me!" Serena joked running away.
"SERENA!!!" Mina yelled at her chasing her down the hall.
"Oh boy here we go again." Amy looked at them and laughed.
"GET THE MEAT BALL HEAD!" Rei cheered.
"I bet 10 on Mina!" Hilde smirked.
"You're on!" Kaoru grinned.
Lita sighed and leaned her head on Recca's shoulder, who just stood there laughing at the 2 girls. Recca looked at Sanosuke. "Well, you were the one who KISSED her."
Sanosuke blinked and turned to Recca. "Hanabishi!" Recca smirked and Sanosuke fwapped him over his head. Lita giggled as Mina ran into a wall, letting Serena escape.
"Why me?" Mina whined as she fell to the floor, Sanosuke laughed and picked her up like a baby. Sanosuke looked down at her smirking. Mina looked up and smiled at him.
Sanosuke answered. "Because, you're just special."
~The End
*Chapter 5*
(A Final Choice)
Zech's chuckled evilly as he held Mina above the ground by her throat. Mina gasping for breath as Zech's held up a large bottled gun to her chest. Mina looked at the purple, boiling fluids in the gun and began to think where she saw it before. She couldn't remember a thing, all she could think about was how much she needed help. Then Zech's looked over to the secret passages door as Recca, Duo, Darien, Yanagi and a handful of hired men with Rei and Amy, walked through it. Zech's blinked and asked sternly. "Where is he?"
Recca shook his head. "I'm not sure. I went to go get him and he should have followed."
"Damnit I can't do this without him! Damn him!" Zech's snarled and threw Mina into the wall, her body slammed against it and she fell slowly down to the floor. Mina grabbed her throat catching her breath as she looked up at the 4 men, from where she lay.
"Don't tell me you're all in this together!" Mina managed slowly but forcefully, as her blood slowly dripped down her throat. Her body grasping for air.
The 4 of them laughed and grinned. Duo and Darien went up to Mina and picked her up off the ground each one grabbing a arm. Duo spoke up first smirking. "You know there are some others who helped us find you."
Darien grinned and added. "Yeah and they're pretty good in other ways too."
"What the fuck are you guys talk......." Mina trailed off as Recca held a knife to her back slowly stabbing it into her. Mina's eyes squinted as the blood started to drip down her back, through her shirt.
"Shutup Bitch!" Recca snapped. "You have nothing to say until he gets here." Recca reached around Mina from behind with his left hand and grabbed her around her waist, trailing the knife around her opposite side leaving blood dripping from the long cut, with his right hand.
Mina squinted in pain as the blood dripped down her side. Now her fear rest more so in losing blood then the fear of being hurt by the men. She wasn't afraid to die. Soon Zech's smiled as a figure came into the small room. "There you are, we've been waiting for you Boss." Zech's walked over to the dark figure.
A mans semi normal tone voice began to speak. "Is she ready? I don't like to kill people when they aren't ready for it." He slowly began descending into the room. Mina suddenly had a wave of evil force blast into her body and thoughts as she glared onto the man.
Recca nodded violently and squeezed Mina toward him, the knife going into her stomach now. "You are ready to die aren't ya bitch?"
Mina looked over at the dark man, trying to ignore the blood lose and the knife. "Not until you tell me who the fuck you are!" Mina screamed as loud as she could. Her whole body trembling in pain and struggling for a few more minutes to live.
The man laughed and walked over to her, into the light. His long, red hair in a pony tail, his sword at his side and his bright purple eyes sparkling. He looked down on her and leaned over to her ear. "It's Kenshin."
Mina's eyes widen as she heard his name. The man she once loved was now her killer and what about Lita! Mina looked at him as Duo and Darien let go of her arms. Recca stepped back letting Mina's bloody body, fall into Kenshin's arms. Kenshin held her up and looked down at her. "Now Mina transform...." Kenshin dropped her to the ground and she fell to her side, to tired to hold herself up. Her blood fell to the floor from her stomach, side, back and neck, as she held her hand over it. She looked up to them.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Mina had to pretend not to know that she was Sailor Venus. For if she transformed she would be killed, if not by the blood lose and tiredness then by the men. Recca picked Mina up by her hair and hit her across her face with the back end of his knife, leaving a small cut that began to bleed. Mina turned her head away from Recca as he spoke harshly to her.
"You know what we're talking about Sailor Venus! This is going to be sweet for what you fucking did to me! Do you have any idea what you did when I let you hit me like that! You can't just fuck with me and my life MINA AINO!" Recca was pushed away by Zech's who stood calmly in front of her now as she tried to stand, but only fell to her knees in horrible suffering.
Zech's smiled and looked onto the others, Rei and Amy. Then turned to Mina, smiling. "You know my dear, they only got a few minutes before they die. Do you really want them to die Mina? Sailor Venus could save them by transforming." Zech's blinked as Yanagi stepped up to him and covered his mouth with her hand.
Yanagi spoke sweetly. "Let me handle this, woman to woman." Zech's nodded as Yanagi stepped up to Mina on the floor. Yanagi snarled as she kneeled down to Mina and said to her as her dress began to fall off her body from kneeling. "Mina, what is holding you back?"
Mina looked up at Yanagi and smirked. "You think I'm that stupid of a bitch like yourself?"
Yanagi gasped and slapped Mina across the face getting blood onto her own hand. "Ah! You little slut, I hope you die!" Yanagi stood up and looked at Zech's. "Just kill her!" She turned to Kenshin. "I've got enough power! I am perfect! We don't need the element!"
Kenshin lifted the back of his hand and slapped it across Yanagi's cheek hard, leaving a red mark on her skin. Yanagi screamed and held her hand to her face. Kenshin nodded and began to speak to Mina again. "Just do it!" Kenshin looked harshly as Mina and ordered Recca, Duo, Darien, Yanagi and the other men to step back.
Mina looked over at Rei and Amy and her heart sank again. Mina's blue eyes looked to floor and she placed her hands to it. She got to her knees and began to lift herself up with as much force as she could. Her yellow hair falling into her face, her blue eyes tinted red and her blood staining her body. She could feel her energy telling her 'no' but her heart 'yes'. Mina looked up at the dirty ceiling and pulled her heart crystal from her pocket. She held it in her sweaty, bloody fingers trembling, she slowly began to say. "By the power of Venus, give me strength. Venus Cryst." Mina gasped abruptly and reached for her blood stained neck, she felt another hand on it and she turned her eyes to behind her. She smiled as his grip let up on her neck and she could see who it was. Mina quietly said under her breath. "Sano..."
Kenshin's eyes opened wide as Sanosuke suddenly appeared behind Mina and had stopped her from transforming. "SANOSUKE?? WHEN DID YOU GET HERE???" Recca, Duo, Darien, Yanagi all looked on at this and Yanagi screamed as Darien stood up before Sanosuke chuckling.
Darien spoke to Sanosuke. "You shouldn't have gotten involved Sano, you weren't supposed to find out about this, and now, dear friend, prepare to DIE!" Darien spun around and appeared in his tuxedo therefore becoming Tuxedo Mask! Tuxedo Mask jumped into the air and smiled, throwing down roses at Sanosuke. Sanosuke blinked as the roses gave him small scratches on his arms and he yawned. Tuxedo Mask dived down onto Sanosuke, feet first and sent his right leg flying at Sanosuke's face. Sanosuke simply reached for it and grabbed Tuxedo Mask thus throwing him onto a candle lamp hanging on the wall. Which went straight through his body, Tuxedo Mask snarled as now his body became limp and hung from the wall with a lamp through it. The candle had fallen to the floor and the holder held up Tuxedo Mask's body in its place. Tuxedo Mask died.
Sanosuke looked at Mina who was beginning to faint onto the floor and grabbed her carefully. "Are you alright Mina?" Mina gazed up at Sanosuke and he saw why she was so weak. Mina's body was very heavy and pale as the dried blood on her, looked worse then before and seem to became part of her skin. Her blood shot eyes looked up at him.
Mina reached out her arm and put it around Sanosuke's neck and said very slowly. "Leave me, help Rei and Amy." Sanosuke looked onto Mina's black eyes and saw nothing. Her eyelids began to shut as she closed her mouth slowly. Sanosuke suddenly grunted as Recca stabbed him in the back with one of his knives.
"You are so pathetic Sano-Chan, Now you're playing with fire!" Recca burst out laughing as he forced his knife into Sano's back. Sanosuke grew with rage and swung his body around slamming his arm into Recca's thick head, sending Recca flying into the other wall. Mina gently pulled the knife from Sanosuke's back, collapsing onto the floor with it. Sano quickly turned around saying slowly. "Mina..." Then looked back to Recca, who was standing up from the ground grinning. Recca slowly wiped the blood from his mouth and smirked.
"Sano is that the best you've got???" Recca snarled and lifted his arm into the air. The band on his arm stood out as the writing began to glow and a small fire engulfed his hand. Recca charged over to Sanosuke who stood calmly. Recca thrashed his burning arm at Sanosuke, who stopped it with his right hand. The fire on Sanosuke's hand, from Recca's arm band, slowly began to burn through his skin. Recca smirked and threw his other arm at Sanosuke, who stopped it with his left. Hand in hand the 2 stared each other down. Sanosuke grinned.
"I don't have time to waste on your sorry ass Recca." Sanosuke squeezed his hands onto Recca's who began to scream as his hands bones began to break. The fire on his hand went out. Everyone squinted as the bones cracked and Recca snarled. Sanosuke swung his leg under Recca knocking him to the ground, Recca stared up. Sanosuke let go of his hands and slammed his foot into Recca's chest. Recca screamed as his blood began to pour out from his mouth. Sanosuke stepped harder, twisting his foot on him. Recca's breath became thin.
"Damn you Sano." Recca's voice trailed off as more blood streamed out of his mouth and he slowly faded. Recca's eyes slowly shut up and his head tilted slightly leaning to the floor. Recca's arm band's glowing writing slowly began to fade and calm. Sanosuke turned around and looked at Duo.
Duo smirked and looked at Sanosuke. "Nice one bud, but I won't be so easy." Sanosuke simply nodded. As Duo pulled out his scythe. The scythe glowed bright green and was about as big as Duo himself. The energy filled the room and Duo was about to attack Sanosuke, lifting it slowly into the air showing it off. But was interrupted as everyone suddenly heard.
"Moon Gorgeous Shocking Blast!" A bright light appeared and a parade of hearts filled the room as everyone ducked for cover. Everyone turned around to see who it was as they also heard a lower tone voice screaming. "Jupiter Oak Evolution!" Lighting shocked everyone in the room but Sanosuke, Mina, Amy or Rei. The room filled with hearts and thundering lighting soon calmed and 2 strange people stood in the door way.
"Prepare for trouble." Said one of the girls.
"And make that double!" Said the lower voice.
"To save this world from devastation."
"To protect all people with in all nations!"
"To announce the powers of truth and love!"
"To extend our reach to the stars above!"
"Sailor Moon!" Sailor Moon stepped out and did her pose with which she would usually do after a transformation.
"Sailor Jupiter!" Sailor Jupiter took a step out and made her pose grinning.
"The Sailor Scouts blast off at the speed of light!"
"Surrender now or prepare to fight!"
"Luna that's right!" Added a small voice from behind the girls as a small black cat made it onto the scene.
Duo made a flat, straight face and spoke softly. "You've got to be kidding me....."
Kenshin grunted loudly as Zech's screamed. "Now who else are we expecting!"
Sanosuke helped Mina off the floor and held her in his arms as they all gazed onto the new girls. Yanagi screamed again in fright. Sailor Moon and Sailor Jupiter simply stood there in amazement at what happened so far. Darien hung from a wall, Recca laid on the floor half dead not moving, Duo held out his scythe, Kenshin holding the heart crystals, Zech's coughed. Sailor Jupiter looked at Kenshin and her heart fell to her feet, but she couldn't let him know who she really was. Sailor Moon having just gone shopping was in a really good mood and began to speak up. "So, uh, now, I'm going to have to kill you Duo, I can handle it Sanosuke."
Sanosuke set Mina's heavy body down next to Rei and Amy who only had about 5 minutes left to live. "Sailor Moon, you don't know what you're getting into! You just brought yourself and Sailor Jupiter's death to yourselves! I told you guys to stay home!"
"Sano, don't worr-" Sailor Moon was cut off as the scythe was held to her body. Sailor Moon looked at Duo and screamed. "NO DUO NO!"
Duo grinned and looked at Kenshin. Kenshin threw him the bottled gun as he was hit in the back hard. Kenshin turned around as Duo grabbed the gun. Sanosuke looked at the 3 girls and then ran over to Duo and grabbed the gun away from him before he could shoot Serena and take her crystal.
Kenshin stared at his enemy, the fair Sailor Jupiter. She stood calmly and looked into his cold purple eyes. She loved him but he was trying to kill her and her feelings soon left her as she lifted her arm to his face. Kenshin blinked and smirked. Sailor Jupiter's eyes widen as she jumped back. Kenshin grabbed her chest and pulled her close to him.
Sanosuke had the gun in his hand and handed it off to Sailor Moon as he pushed her away. Sanosuke turned his attention to Duo. Duo lifted his scythe to Sanosuke's head and swung it at a full speed. Sanosuke ducked and rammed Duo in the stomach screaming as they both fell to the floor. Duo's scythe trailing Sanosuke's arm as they fell. Sanosuke screamed as the scythe cut a deep cut into his arm. It bled heavily down his muscled limb and through his white attire.
Mina looked onto Rei and Amy. Then her attention to Kenshin and Sailor Jupiter. Her eyes finally fell upon Sanosuke and Duo. A concerned looked took over her face. How could she just sit here like this? She began to slowly stand. She knew that no matter what happened she needed to transform. She grabbed her heart crystal once more. Holding it in her trembling hands she began to speak softly. "Oh powers of Venus! Hear my words, my friends are in trouble. By the power of love! Transform! VENUS CRYSTAL POWER!" A bright orange light appeared in the room and everyone stopped and turned. Mina's body was weak, her powers grew stronger. A flood of hearts surrounded her body as she floated in the air spinning slowly in circles. The hearts stuck to her body where her Sailor Scout outfit would appear. Sanosuke got up off Duo and gazed onto her smiling. Mina's hair soon went straight up along side her hands in the air. The heart flew off in all directions. Mina had transformed into Sailor Venus!
Kenshin smirked. "Yes! Now everyone get them!" Kenshin commanded as he grew with pleasure. Everyone of the guards stopped and started to chase after Sailor Venus. Sanosuke blinked as Duo started to run after her. Sanosuke grabbed Duo by his clothes and pulled Duo back to him punching him in his face. Duo snarled. Kenshin chuckled happily as Sailor Jupiter glared at him. She grabbed around his neck trying to choke him. Kenshin grasped for breath, dropping the heart crystals onto the ground.
Sailor Jupiter knew this was a cheap trick. She slowly let go of his neck and jumped back as Kenshin gazed at her. Sailor Jupiter held her hand out gazing at Kenshin. Kenshin blinked. Sailor Jupiter wrapped her arms around herself and began to spin as she shouted. "Jupiter Oak Evolution!" Kenshin grunted as green oak leaves blasted at him. Sailor Jupiter put her arms above her head, circling faster as blasts of green energy began to shoot straight through Kenshin's body. Blood pouring from every hole she made. Kenshin fell to the floor and Sailor Jupiter slowly came to a stop and walked to him.
Sailor Venus saw the men and grinned her chapped lips. Her Sailor outfit never looking so good on her. It seem to give her self confidence. All her physical pain left her for this time. She flicked her bangs away from her tiara as the orange crystal shone brightly. She held her hand to her mouth while the men charged at her. She winked and screamed. "Venus Love and Beauty Shock!" She kissed her hand and swung it in front of her as a deadly shining heart flew at them. The men screamed and ran up through the mini fridge's path. She then quickly turned to Sanosuke.
Sanosuke looked down below him at Duo. Duo's eyes blood shot and his blood dripping from his mouth. Sanosuke got up off him and picked him up. Duo glared at him, his body limp. Sanosuke threw Duo up against the wall, slamming him as hard as he could. Duo's mouth opened but nothing came out to speak. Blood streaming out of him as if he were a fountain. Duo's body dropped to the floor as he glared up at Sanosuke. Sanosuke's attention however fell upon the faire Sailor Venus. Duo squinted his eyes as he looked at the 2. He snarled as his eyes shut slowly and he took his final breath of life.
Sanosuke and Sailor Venus's eyes met and they smiled. Hearing a sudden scream they both turned to Kenshin and Sailor Jupiter. Kenshin down on his back as Sailor Jupiter's fist began to dig into him. Sailor Moon had ran over to Amy and Rei lying on the floor and tried to keep them alive by giving them a little of her moon power. Sailor Moon looking down at her dying friends, she knew that if they didn't get their heart crystals back they would die. Duo and Darien both had died by the hand of Sanosuke. Recca laid on the floor hardly breathing, until his eyes saw something that got his attention fast. Yanagi and Zech's were over on the other side of the room with the heart crystals of Rei and Amy.
Yanagi and Zech's looked over at Kenshin and looked at each other. They both agreed to get out while they still could and Kenshin would die there. Zech's smirked as he and Yanagi headed to the door. Recca looked at Sailor Jupiter and Kenshin, Sailor Venus, Sailor Moon with Rei and Amy. Then he looked back at Sanosuke. Sanosuke hadn't done anything to him but be his best friend, although Recca was faking the entire time.
Recca remembered back to the triple date when he and Mina danced and Mina and his eyes fell upon Lita and Kenshin. Recca's heart sank remembering how beautiful he thought she was and how terrible Kenshin had treated her. Recca blinked in amazement. "What the hell am I thinking??" he questioned himself as he saw Yanagi and Zech's run for the door with the heart crystals in hand. He head went fuzzy and his vision dark as he jumped to his feet and ran after them.
Sanosuke and Sailor Venus turned around as they felt Recca dash past them. Sailor Moon looked up from her hurt friends and Sailor Jupiter blinked as Kenshin's dead body lay there on the floor of the laboratory.
Recca's hand was a giant fire of rage as he screamed. "Setsuna! Stop them!" Recca threw off the arm band from his arm as the entire place turned dark. Yanagi and Zech's turned around, a pale look on each of their faces. The heat in the room made everyone begin to feel faint except for Recca. Recca smirked as his bloody body stood firm and a flaming fire dragon came from his arm. The dragon a blaze began to swarm around the room looking for its victims. Setsuna roared forcefully as Yanagi screamed.
Setsuna knew its next target. A huge flame began to surround Yanagi, who scream in terror at it. Soon smoke began to fill the room and Yanagi's scream faded as the burning dragons eyes soon met Zech's. The dragon left Yanagi's body and chased after Zech's who ran for his life. Recca looks at Setsuna and then to Yanagi's ashy body. Nothing of Yanagi remained. To Recca this was good, To the others, they were confused. A giant deep man's scream filled the room as Zech's was engulfed by the fiery dragon. Recca saw that his dragon's work was done and smirks at the barbecued Zech's. Recca screamed once more. "Setsuna return to me from once you came!" The dragon turned around seeing the tatoo on her masters arm and snarled as she returned to Recca's arm.
The sunrise shown through the small cracks in the sides of the room, as the smoke began to clear and the heat soon left them. Everyone blinked and looked at Recca who replaced his arm band onto his arm. Sailor Venus looked around and saw the heart crystals by Yanagi's remains and took them into her hand. Sailor Moon looked up at Sailor Venus who walked over to Rei and Amy who were barley breathing. Sanosuke kneeled down beside Sailor Venus as she crouched by Rei and Amy handing a heart crystal to Sailor Moon.
Sailor Jupiter however looked at Recca. Recca looked down at his arm band as the bloody burns on his body began to turn into pain. Recca kept his head down and his arm band to him as he slowly began to walk out the door. Sailor Jupiter ran over to him, carefully placing her hands on Recca's shoulders. Recca blinked and quickly turned around at Sailor Jupiter who smiled at him.
"What are you doing Sailor Jupiter? Your friends have their heart crystals, why don't you go see them." Recca sighed as he looked at Sailor Jupiter.
Sailor Jupiter responded. "Recca, why did you help us?"
Recca blushed a bit through his already over heated face and looked down at his arm band, in which 7 fire dragons lived. Recca looked up into Sailor Jupiter's eyes and sighed deeply, shrugging. "I felt like it. Yanagi was a bitch anyway's." Sailor Jupiter laughed a bit and looked over at the group hovering over Rei and Amy. Sailor Jupiter then looked back at Recca, who was staring at the floor. She held out her hand and gently grabbed onto Recca's hand. Recca looked up suddenly at her amazed. "Heh, I." Sailor Jupiter smiled and lead Recca over to the group. He smiled and followed her.
Sailor Moon leaned over Rei and Sailor Venus over Amy. Slowly Sailor Moon placed her hands over Rei's chest returning the small flame crystal to Rei's body. A bright red flash shone as the crystal floated into Rei's body. Sailor Venus placed the sea crystal to Amy's chest, returning to it where it once came. A bright blue flash shined as the crystal sailed into Amy's body. Both the Scouts leaned back off them as Sanosuke looked on smiling. Rei and Amy's eyes soon slowly opened as they sat up and looked at them. Rei pulled her black tangled hair behind her ear and asked. "Where are we?" Amy looked up at Sailor Venus, Jupiter and Moon and confused.
Sailor Venus helped them both off the ground, gently with a smile. "Something that is all over now. We're safe now." Sailor Jupiter smiled as Recca wrapped his arm around her waist. Sailor Moon looked at Sailor Venus as Sanosuke went up behind her wrapping his arms around her shoulders.
"Why don't we get out of here now." Sanosuke suggested. "I bet Kaoru and Hilde are worried about you all."
Sailor Venus nodded and looked at the place as she sighed a bit. All of the group, Sailor Moon, Sailor Venus, Sailor Jupiter, Rei, Amy Sanosuke and Recca looked onto the room one last time as they went through the mini fridges path one last time.
(A few days later)
Mina awoke to the sun beaming down on her face as she smiled. The smell of Lita's bake goods filled the house and she looked over beside her on the floor. Kaoru, Hilde, Amy, Rei and Serena all slept peacefully. But where was Lita? Mina wondered as she stepped out of bed and headed down the hall in her blue boxers and little white tank top. Mina heard Lita giggling as she walked into the kitchen and saw Lita, Recca and Sanosuke standing there. Mina's face went a bright red as Lita turned to face her with a smirk on her face. "You're FINALLY up and about, I invited them over for breakfast as soon as the others are up."
Mina smiled a bit as she looked at Sanosuke standing there in his usual white outfit with "bad" on his back. She also trailed her eyes to Lita's waist and smirked seeing Recca's arm around it. "Ah I see you've been busy Lita." Lita blushed as the timer went off and the breads were done. Sanosuke smirked and pulled Mina to the living room and looked at her.
"I see you've been sleeping in again." Sanosuke laughed seeing her outfit.
"Yeah yeah, of course." Mina smiled and blinked suddenly as Sanosuke took her hand in his. She blushed and looked up at him.
"Mina, Sailor Venus, whoever you are. I'm very proud of what you did for your friends." Sanosuke smiled placing a kiss upon Mina's hand. Mina smirked and wrapped her other arm around Sanosuke's neck.
"Well ya know, we couldn't have done it with out you." Mina looked up into Sanosuke's eyes and he wrapped his other arm around her waist.
"But I don't have magical powers." Sanosuke commented as Mina wrapped her other arm around his neck and pulled him down to her heigh.
"But I'm not as physically strong as you." Mina added as Sanosuke shook his head smiling.
"Fine. Whatever you say." Sanosuke smiled as Mina's lips met his. Sanosuke blinked as Mina kissed him for the first time. Sanosuke smiled and embraced her for a bit until Serena walked in on them.
Serena giggled. "Maybe you 2 should get a room ne?"
They both pulled away and blinked turning to Serena blushing. Mina growled. "You are so dead Serena!" Everyone in the house awoke and looked at Mina running after the screaming Serena around the house. Sanosuke laughed.
"Nah nah! You're not going to catch me!" Serena joked running away.
"SERENA!!!" Mina yelled at her chasing her down the hall.
"Oh boy here we go again." Amy looked at them and laughed.
"GET THE MEAT BALL HEAD!" Rei cheered.
"I bet 10 on Mina!" Hilde smirked.
"You're on!" Kaoru grinned.
Lita sighed and leaned her head on Recca's shoulder, who just stood there laughing at the 2 girls. Recca looked at Sanosuke. "Well, you were the one who KISSED her."
Sanosuke blinked and turned to Recca. "Hanabishi!" Recca smirked and Sanosuke fwapped him over his head. Lita giggled as Mina ran into a wall, letting Serena escape.
"Why me?" Mina whined as she fell to the floor, Sanosuke laughed and picked her up like a baby. Sanosuke looked down at her smirking. Mina looked up and smiled at him.
Sanosuke answered. "Because, you're just special."
