Love's Ways
Chapter 8 - Winning Her Back
Author: Krys Yuy
*******************************
The Senshi and pilots had teleported into one of the many large rooms of
Beryl's domain. Seconds later, Heero had joined them. The castle reeked with evil
energy, shadows lurking everywhere. Each girl unconciously moved closer to their
loves, shivering a bit.
Amy activated her computer, the blue visor appearing over her eyes. "We
need to go that way," she instructed, pointing her finger through one of the several
dark archways.
So, everyone nodded their heads and followed Amy's directions. The Senshi
were ready and cautious. Same as the pilots, except they had their guns out. They
were each ready to shoot down on the enemy if one should come. The pilots waited a
bit impatiently, knowing the meeting was inevitable. They would not be
disappointed.
* * * * *
Cassandra smirked to herself as she and Malachite studied the images of the
intruders in a mirror. Before the male general could say anything, Cassandra beat
him to it.
"I'll take care of this," she said. "Watch and come if you are needed. Which I
doubt."
Then with a snap of her fingers and a breeze of cherry blossoms, the female
general disappeared.
* * * * *
Raye stopped dead in her tracks. A presence was near. One not completely
evil and not completely good. The two seemed to be having a battle, trying to gain
control of the body. The evil had the upperhand but the good side was still battling.
One name filtered through her mind at that moment. 'Serena...,' she thought.
Just as that name went through her mind, did Cassandra appear in a flash of
petals. She was floating above them, a wicked smile on her familiar, yet unfamiliar,
face.
"Serena!" yelled Mina.
"Serenity!" Heero exclaimed.
Cassandra's eyes narrowed to slits. Her dull blue eyes hardened and a streak
of red passed through them. "I know not of this Serena, or Serenity, you speak of,"
Cassandra sneered. "My name is Cassandra! Fifth and last general of her majesty,
Queen Beryl!"
"Serena, please!" Lita begged. "You have to snap out of it!"
"Fight it, Serena!" Duo said.
"Please! Serena, don't let the evil win!" Amy yelled. "You're stronger than
this!!"
"Stop calling me Serena!" Cassandra screamed in rage and utter confusion.
Twins of black energy gathered in both her palms and shot towards the
group. All of them dodged and the blasts knocked into a wall, vibrating powerfully
through the walls. Some of the ceiling crumbled a bit onto the ground.
"Meatball head, get a hold of yourself!!" snapped Mars.
The female general's head snapped to strict attention as the nickname echoed
through her hazy mind. She didn't know why, but the name brought a dislike and a
little content into her heart. The familiarity is what got to her though. She shook her
head, trying to rid her mind of the thoughts invading her head.
"Something's happening!" shouted Quatre.
"I think she's confused," commented Wufei.
"We have to try and talk with her," suggested Trowa quietly.
Amy nodded her head at his input. "Trowa's right, you guys. Bring up
something that will trigger her mind!"
Lita gave a thumbs-up sign. "Gotcha!" She turned toward the general.
"Serena, look at me!"
Cassandra turned her head to the green clad Senshi. Her mind was spinning,
going this way and then another.
"Serena, it's me Lita," Jupiter said. "You loved my cookies, remember?"
"It's me, Mina!" Venus exclaimed. "I was Sailor V in London."
"I'm Amy, Serena," Mercury told the general quietly. "I helped you with the
problems you had in school."
"Don't be a meatball head now!" Raye shouted. "You got to remember!!"
"Serena!" Duo yelled. "Don't you remember us? We were great friends back
in the Silver Millennium and we can still be now!"
Cassandra floated down to the hard ground many yards away from them
and fell to her knees. She clutched her head in pain, a terrible headache forming.
Thoughts and images, some false and others true, kept filtering through her mind.
She rocked back and forth on her knees. "Stop...," she whispered. "Please stop...."
Heero moved slowly towards her and knelt down next to her. "Serena...," he
said softly.
Cassandra lifted her head at the name these Senshi and boys, her enemy,
kept on calling her. Her headache didn't allow her to see clearly. "What?" she asked
weakly.
"It's gonna be okay," he promised her.
The words and voice of this person in front of her soothed her for some
reason. Some reason that she wanted to find out.
* * * * *
Metallia frowned in her shadowy form. Cassandra was slowly converting
back to the other side. 'We didn't even get to try using the silver crystal yet. I will
not allow this to happen!'
The shadow then teleported to the other room, entering her minion's body.
* * * * *
Cassandra's eyes started to become clearer and the person in front of her
seemed to focus. Just as he was about to be revealed, something entered her. She
gasped in pain and succombed to the darkness that enveloped her once again.
Heero's eyes widened slightly as the female general gasped and closed her
eyes. When she opened them, they were not even the dull blue. They were bloodshot
red. He stepped back a few times as she slowly stood to her feet, evil emanating from
every fiber of her being.
The Senshi and pilots were still many yards away, watching what was
happening. They were not close enough to see Cassandra's eyes or the change in her
manner. Raye sensed an increase in evil and nodded towards her female comrades.
However, when they started to head towards the two people, the Gundam pilots
held back the Inner Senshi from helping Heero.
"He needs to do this by himself," Wufei said.
"He's the only one who can save her now," Trowa added. "We tried all we
could."
The girls sighed, knowing they were right. They wrapped themselves in their
loves' embraces, hoping Heero would be able to save their princess.
Heero watched as Cassandra smirked, an evil smirk that actually sent chills
down his spine. "Serena, please-" he started.
The general interrupted him abruptly. "It's not Serena or Cassandra, boy,"
she said in a dark voice, very different from Cassandra's. "It's Queen Metallia
now."
End of Chapter 8 - Winning Her Back
Coming Soon - Chapter 9 - Love Prevails... For Now
Krys: Another cliffhangar!! *laughs evilly* Well, I'm not that cruel. The next
chapter should be posted by now. I'm not purposely trying to torture Serena. It's
helping the storyline. She will not remain evil much longer. So, please read &
review!! Heero-kun, your line please.
Heero: No. Flames. *points gun*
Krys: *smiles* Enough said.
