Shinigami's Protector
Part 6
~*~
Duo stared at her in confusion.
"What do you mean time to remember?" he asked. Saturn looked down at him
sincerely.
"Time for you to remember the
past." She said. Then without another word she held up her glaive. A bright
light came from the blade and everything went blank.

Duo looked around trying to figure
out where he was. A thick fog was everywhere preventing him from seeing
anything. He took a step back trying to figure out where his friends where. Then
he bumped into somebody. Duo yelped and looked to see a familiar blonde hair
head.
"Quatre! I've never been so
glad to see you!" Duo cried as he hugged the boy in a death grip.
"Duo, cant breath!" Quatre
squeaked. Duo let go and smiled sheepishly.
"Whoops. Sorry Q-man. Just a little
freaked out, have no clue where we are." Duo said scratching his head.
"A little? Seemed a hell of a lot
scared to me." Wufei said suddenly appearing from the fog. Then the other
gundam pilots appeared.
"Hey! You're a live! But…where are
the others?" Duo asked. No one answered not knowing the answer.
"There's something up ahead."
Heero said pointing towards the direction. Duo squinted taking a closer look.
There was something there. They all walked towards it and saw it was a gate. It
stood pearly white with large doors. There was no handle only a keyhole.
"What kind of door is this?"
Trowa asked. Duo shrugged and peeked into the key whole only to see some kind of
bright light.
"Stop trespassers." A voice
whispered in the dark. Duo stood straight up looking up.
"Uh…who said that?" Duo
asked. Heero took out his gun.
"Show yourself." He demanded.
"Those who are not worthy cannot
be here. You are not worthy!" a voice shouted. Then a bright pink purple ball
of light headed towards them.
"Duck!" Quatre cried.
"Where?" Duo asked looking around.
Heero growled and pulled the boy out of the way by his braid. The ball of light
degenerated into nothing.
"What was that? Show yourself!"
Wufei yelled. Then a figure walked towards them. It was a woman who looked to be
in her early twenties, late teens. She wore a similar fuku that sailor Saturn
wore but it was different colors. Black and a dark red color. She held a long
staff that looked like a key with a the end of it shaped like a heart with a
garnet red gemstone in the middle of it. Her dark green hair swayed a bit and
her dark maroon colored eyes glared murder at them.
"Who are you?" Quatre asked.
"The guardian of the forbidden
gates of time. Sailor Pluto." Said the women as she pointed her staff at them.
"Trespassers are forbidden
here." Pluto hissed.
"Look we didn't mean to come
here. We came by accident!" Quatre said trying to explain.
"No one is allowed to live after
seeing the gates of time." Pluto said then she swung her glaive to attack.
Before she could attack a glaive stopped her. Pluto looked up and saw Sailor
Saturn.
"Saturn, you have been reborn?"
Pluto asked pulling the time staff away. Saturn nodded.
"Yes, I came here in need of your
help. It's time for my lord to remember." Saturn said pointing at Duo. Pluto
looked at the boy.
"Your Shinigami?" she asked
startled. Duo shrugged.
"I don't know who I am now."
Duo said. Saturn sighed.
"Yes he is. It's time for his
memories to return. Please Pluto take us to the past. He has to know who he
is." Saturn said with a slight plead in her voice. Pluto nodded.
"All right but I can only send you
images of the past not the real past. It's too dangerous sending you into the
real past. Please understand. I can't have time altered in any such ways."
Pluto said gravely. Saturn nodded understanding. Time was a very fragile balance
not even she dared touch it.
"First there is something,
actually someone. Who has been waiting for Shinigami." Saturn said a smile.
Duo looked at her. Pluto nodded she to had a smile.
"He's been very lively knowing
his master is starting to awaken. It's getting harder to hold him back."
Pluto said.
"Whom are you talking about?"
Quatre asked.
"Deathscythe." Saturn said. All
five gundam pilots stared at her.
"Deathscythe?" Duo asked
confused. Saturn nodded. Pluto chuckled and handed Saturn something. It was a
small amethyst crystal.
"Thank for keeping it for me."
Saturn said as she placed the crystal on her glaive. It melted into the blade.
Then she held up her glaive.
"Gates of darkness, closed for
over centuries I command you the bringer of destruction bring forth the one who
has been waiting for his master's arrival, Deathscythe!" Saturn yelled.
Then she slammed the glaive on the
ground. A beam of light out of nowhere appeared and shined down towards them.
Duo covered his eyes trying to block the bright light but also trying to see
what's happening. Then he saw doors opening in the light. Something started
running towards them neighing.
A pure black horse galloped towards
them. It tossed its large head snorting. Its heavy hooves pounded the ground
with a loud thud. It's dark eyes burned with fire. Duo stared in awe the
magnificent beast. It looked of pure power.
Saturn held her hand out and the
horse stopped as it came towards her. The horse stamped its foot rearing
slightly. Saturn chuckled and pets
the horse's head. The horse immediately clamed down at her touch.
"Yes Deathscythe it has been a
while. Look, I've brought you someone." Saturn said. The horse looked at
Duo. Duo smiled sheepishly and gave a weak wave at the giant horse.
"Hello." Duo squeaked. The
horse neighed rearing up on its hind legs. Then it landed and trotted over the
Duo. The horse nuzzled Duo in affection. Then it licked Duo's face giving him
a big sloppy wet kiss. Despite it's dangerous appearance it acted very gentle,
like a overgrown big friendly puppy.
"Is that a puppy or a horse?"
Wufei asked starring the black horse. It plopped down on it's rear end sitting
like a dog continuing to give Duo kisses by licking him affectingly.
"I think it's sweet." Quatre
said.
"Do you remember him Duo? He was
your faithful companion. He followed you everywhere like a dog. Deathscythe led
you into the heart of battle but brought you out a live injured." Saturn said
as she stood in front of them.
Duo smiled as he petted the horse's
head. It seemed so familiar. Then he saw a boy that looked exactly like him
playing with the overgrown horse in a field.
"Deathscythe. Yeah I remember you
buddy!" Duo cried as he hugged the horse.
"I think this one of those times
that are called a Kodiak moment." Trowa muttered. Heero nodded.
"We have to hurry. I don't know
when Moraga well attack next." Pluto said. Saturn nodded. Duo stood up ready.
His friends walked towards him ready to.
"Beam us up Scotty!" Duo said holding
up thumbs up sign at Pluto. Saturn sighed while Pluto chuckled.
"He is still the same no matter what centaury he is in." Pluto commented. Saturn nodded. Then Pluto held up her staff. Multie colored bubbles floated towards the gates. Then the door slowly opened. The dark room once again filled with a bright light.
