I do not own Gundam Wing or
Sailor Moon
Lita sat propped against the trunk of a tree and pondered where Wufei and the others were. "What if he's hurt?" she said aloud. "I'll never forgive myself."
She heard someone say her name and she jumped up. "Wufei?" she said, "Is that you?"
Before her appeared an angel with wings of wildflowers dressed in a white gown with long sleeves. Her hair was black and in pigtails. She looked like she was just 13. "Hello, Lita," she said. "I'm so glad I finally got to meet you."
Immediately, Lita recognized her and stepped back. "You--you're supposed to be dead!"
"Actually, my name is Merian."
"You're Wufei's dead wife!" she shouted and started panting. "I'm hallucinating from the snake bite!"
"Relax, you're not hallucinating, Lita," Merian said.
"How did you know my name?" Lita demanded. "You've been following me, haven't you?"
Merian nodded.
"You wanted to keep an eye on me incase I made a move on your husband, huh?" Lita asked.
She shook her head and smiled, "No. That's not why I am here. I'm your guardian angel."
"You are?" Lita almost laughed, "Shouldn't you be Wufei's? You were married to him!"
"I don't have to protect him when you are," Merian said. "Even solitary dragons need protection. While you're protecting him, I'm protecting you."
"Sooooo, you're not jealous of me, are you?" Lita asked.
"Of course not," Merian said, "we didn't get along much. I've come to warn you, Lita."
"You know where Wufei is?" she questioned.
"Yes, he's in trouble," Merian said. "He's been captured by a vile being called Mistress18."
"Mistress18?" Lita asked, "she's gotta be worse than Mistress9!"
"She's twice as strong." (Well, 18 is a multiple of 9!)
"Well, how can I find her?"
"She came from outer space and she kidnaps humans to change them into her slaves," Merian informed, "Two humans from your world have sided with her and they're the ones who took the gundam pilots. They know them."
"Is Dorothy one of them?"
Merian nodded, "and so is Midii Une. They tried to get Hilde Schbeiker to help them but she was too smart and knew that something wasn't right. Now she is with your friend Ami to help find Duo."
"Are they anywhere close into finding them?" Lita asked.
"Your friend Ami is very smart and she has the items to help her find the pilots. Misstress18 has a base inside what is supposed to be a pet store."
"A pet store?" Lita mumbled, "That sounds pretty legit."
"I know," Merian nodded, "but when you go inside it will be like no other pet store. The animals don't look happy. They don't even look real."
"Thank you, Merian," Lita said.
"You're a strong person, Lita," complimented Merian, "Wufei needs you. He only acts strong."
"You saw me beat him up, didn't you?" Lita mumbled, "Look, I'm sorry about that but sometimes I don't even realize my own strength!"
Merian laughed, "I did but don't worry about it. I could've beaten Wufei too but I decided to let him win."
"You let him win?" Lita demanded, "Why?"
"I didn't want to hurt his feelings," Merian grinned, "He's quite sensitive, you know."
"Sensitive my foot!" Lita snapped. "The day I see Wufei act sensitive, well, that's the day I'll be a scientist! If he was sensitive, then he would've been nicer to you and he wouldn't have kicked your butt!"
"He did save you from the snake bite, didn't he?" Merian reminded gently. "And I was the one who challenged him in the first place."
"Oh come on, he kept telling me how I should've watched where I was going and things like that."
Merian smiled, "he's more sensitive than you think. Trust me, you'll see just how sensitive Wufei is. I used to call him 'scholar boy'. He didn't really like it."
"Scholar boy?" Lita snorted.
"Wufei's very sensitive," Merian repeated.
"Yeah, whatever," Lita muttered.
"Good luck, Lita," Merian wished as she started to fade out, "I'll be watching you."
"Thank you, Merian," Lita whispered and she ran inside to meet the others.
"Hey, guys! You're not going to believe what just happened!" Lita shouted.
"What, you were bit by another snake?" Raye demanded.
"If I was, would I be running?" Lita groaned. "I know where the gundam pilots are!"
"How do you know?" Mina asked.
"I met an old friend of Wufei's," Lita replied.
"Wufei has friends?" Raye mumbled.
Lita shot an angry glare at her. "I'll explain later, let's just find them before they're killed!"
"Good," Serena said, "let's go to our gundams and take out our crystals."
"The crystals are in our gundams?" Mina asked.
"They're in the cockpit," Raye said, "I guess when our transformation pens changed to our gundams, the crystals remained in the cockpit."
"Well, what are we waiting for?" Mina demanded, "Let's go find them!"
**************************************************
"Just wait until the other scouts get here," Ice Angel muttered. "We're going to stop you and destroy your pathetic little pet store!"
"I can't wait," Mistress18 hissed. Her hair shot forward and tangled Ice Angel in it.
"Ami!" Duo shouted.
"Hilde, get Duo out of here!" Ice Angel gasped. "Hurry. Don't' worry about me! Go find the antidote!" She got out of Mistress18's dangerous locks and sent a freezing energy blast to Mistress18.
"Got it," Hilde said, "come on, Duo!" She pulled on his arm.
"No, we can't just leave her here!" he protested.
"She'll be all right, Duo," she reassured, dragging him away. "She knows what she is doing."
"But Hilde--"
"Listen to me, Duo," she said. "She came to me to help her find you and now that we've done that she wants to make sure you're okay. Don't worry about her. I can tell she's done something like this."
"If anything happens to her I'll never forgive myself," he groaned.
"She'll be all right," she told him. "It's you we're worried about. Let's find that lab. There has got to be an antidote somewhere."
"Okay, I'll show you." He said. "It's this way. Follow me." He led her to the lab. "This place gives me the creeps."
"Let's just hurry up and find that antidote," Hilde said, "I wish we knew what to look for." She came across the serum. "How much of this serum does she even have?"
"Oh no," Duo grunted, crossing his arms around himself and hunching over.
"Duo, what's wrong?" she asked, turning around.
"It's happening again," he replied. "I'm going to change--man, it hurts!"
"Just hold on," she said, "oh, where's that antidote!" she cried, panicking. "There must be an antidote somewhere!"
"Maybe there isn't one," Duo said, watching the flesh fall from his hand. "When I said I'm the God of Death, this isn't exactly what I had in mind!"
Hilde picked up the serum and looked at it and then Duo.
"Hilde, don't you dare!" he ordered, thinking the worst.
Hilde wondered what would happen if she used it. The serum changed people into what they believed them to be. Hilde really wasn't sure who or what she was. So she bit her lip and injected the serum into her arm.
"You're a stupid fool!" he shouted at his final stage. "Why'd you do that?"
"Since I couldn't find the antidote," she mumbled, "I didn't want you to feel alone." She groaned and fell to her knees. Her skin turned purple with a few scars on her arms and legs and one on her cheek. Her fingernails grew into red claws and black bat-like wings sprouted out of her back. She wore a red dress with chains around her ankles. Hilde Schbeiker became the angel of death.
"Well," she mumbled, "how do I look?"
"Like an angel of death," Death replied.
She walked to an empty table. They made out of metal and looked shiny. She looked in it. "Wow. I didn't expect the serum to do this to me."
"I think we should go help Ami," Death said.
"All right," said the death angel. "Good idea."
"Not so fast, traitor!" muttered one of Mistress18's henchmen.
"Oh, I forgot about those guys," Death mumbled.
"Kill them!"
The Death Angel and God of Death exchanged glances and looked at the henchmen.
"You cannot kill death!" they shouted together and approached them.
*******************************************************
"Merian told me the base was a pet store," Lita said.
"We're looking for the guys, not pets!" Mina muttered.
"I'm feeling some major bad vibes coming from there," Raye said, pointing to a pet store.
"Why would they use a pet store?" Relena asked.
"That's probably how they got their victims," Serena guessed. "Stay close to me, Relena. They're probably after you too."
"We should split up," Lita said.
"Transform when you find trouble," Serena commanded, "be careful, everybody."
*******************************************
The girls split up to find the boys. They were unaware that they were different. Raye walked down a chilly hall, unaware that someone was watching her and someone else was waiting for her. But she could sense something was wrong.
"It's so creepy here," Raye said. "I'd better transform into Sailor Mars before something jumps out and eats me!"
"MARS CRYSTAL POWER!"
The red crystal glowed and Raye became the senshi of fire and war, Sailor Mars. The hall led to a big room with pillars and paintings. She saw the back of someone standing in front of a blazing fireplace. Immediately, she recognized him.
"Trowa!" she yelled, "are you okay?" she started walking to him and stopped suddenly when he turned around. "T-Trowa?" She hopped back. "No."
Trowa looked different. The left side of his face looked like iron and the eye on that side was deep red instead of the beautiful green eye on the right side of his face. His right arm was made into a gun and his left arm was a long sheet of metal used for stabbing. (In other words, Trowa is The Terminator!)
"What happened to you?" she asked, "Did you and your gundam change bodies?"
He didn't reply. Instead, he tried to cut her down. She jumped behind a pillar and he opened fire.
"I'll just wait here until he runs out of bullets," Sailor Mars mumbled, sitting down. She waited a few seconds, tapping her knee. "Are you out of bullets yet, Trowa?"
He still didn't say anything.
"I hate it when he doesn't say anything to me," Sailor Mars groaned, "Why does he have to be so quiet all the time?" she put her hands to her ears to block out the noise of the gunfire. Then she took them away to check if he stopped.
He did and figuring it was safe to go around the pillar, she stood. But she tripped over her shoes and the heel of her shoe broke.
"Stupid high heels!" she grunted as she hit the floor. All though her heel was broken, it was something for her to be thankful about because Trowa sliced through the pillar, just a foot over her head.
"Trowa!" she kicked off both her shoes and scrambled to her feet. "Stop!"
Talking to him was useless and she didn't want to attack him. She had no choice but to run. She took out a charm to protect herself from the shots fired and ran as fast as she could down the hall. "There's got to be away to change him back."
The feline Midii Une waited for Sailor Mars around the corner. 'This is enough,' she thought. 'I have to make it stop.' When she saw Sailor Mars run into view, she jumped and threw her arms around her, pushing her to the other side of the hall.
Sailor Mars looked up and saw a lioness's face, "Ahhh! Don't eat me!"
"I'm not going to hurt you," Midii hissed. "I'm a friend. I know how to bring No--ah--Trowa back."
"You do?"
"It's the collar," she explained. "You have to get rid of the collar around his neck."
"I have a feeling I saw you somewhere," Sailor Mars said.
"You have, Raye."
"You know my name?"
For a split second, Midii changed back to her human self and to her feline self again.
"You're the girl who tried to kill Trowa!" Sailor Mars shouted.
"Listen, I made a big mistake," Midii said, "but you have to trust me. I can't explain everything now. Destroy the collar and Trowa will change back to his normal self."
After saying that, Midii jumped into a hole in the ceiling and crawled away.
"I don't want to hurt him," Sailor Mars whispered, "but all I have to do is get rid of that collar. But how can I stop him from hurting me?" She peaked around the corner and saw Trowa marching slowly down the hall. It was almost as if it didn't matter when he got to her because he would silence her soon enough. There was a long thin bar next to her feet so she picked it up and sidestepped to see Trowa.
"Hey Trowa, put this in your pipe and smoke it!" she tossed the bar into the barrel of his new firearm. For a second or two, she thought she had him. Then there was a hissing noise from his gun.
"Uh-oh."
He fired the bar and it would've gone right through her head if she didn't hit the floor in time. It was stuck in the wall behind her.
"Ha-ha," she laughed nervously, "it was just a joke!"
He looked at her and cocked her head.
"Okay, so you don't like jokes," she muttered, "lighten up, Trowa! You have a weird sense of humor!" she rose to her feet and pulled out a charm, "time for you to change back! MARS FIREBALL CHARGE!" she threw the charm to the collar around his neck. With a click and a sizzle, it burned up into ashes and fell down around his feet.
Trowa's green eye changed back to the gorgeous green and the metallic side of his face grew flesh. His weapon-arms changed back to normal. After changing back from the robotic silencer and into Trowa Barton, he groaned and fell to his knees.
"Trowa!" Sailor Mars shouted, running to his side. "You're back!"
"Back?" he mumbled.
"You don't remember?" she asked.
He shook his head.
"Someone turned you into a robotic monster!" she gasped, "You almost tried to kill me!"
"It must have something to do with that stuff she gave me," he mumbled.
"Stuff? She?"
"I don't know who she was," he said. "I was kind of out of it. Midii Une pretended to be you and then she kidnapped me."
"Midii Une!" she gasped, "so that's how she got you here! She can change her shape." She sighed, "hmm, but I wonder why she helped me."
"What?"
"She told me to break the collar you had around your neck," she said, pointing to the ash of the collar. "Why would she suddenly have a gift of conscience? I have a bad feeling about all this."
"You know, Raye," he grunted, "I get really tired of hearing you say that!"
"I don't say it so much!" she hissed.
"And what are you doing in that miniskirt?" he demanded.
"I'm a sailor scout, silly!" she slapped his arm, "Have you forgotten?"
"I've never seen you as a sailor scout," he said.
"Because I never had to transform since I've been here," she explained. "Now we have a new enemy. Who ever did this is an enemy for the sailor scouts, not the gundam pilots. Before I came here, we fought some mobile suits, but they were nothing like regular suits."
"We're they mobile dolls?" he questioned.
"No," she shook her head, "the suits were alive. They were like monsters."
"I've been in the circus too long," he sighed.
She pulled his arm around her shoulders, "We'd better find the others and whoever did this too you. Come on, this place gives me the creeps!"
**************************************
Lita went through a door and the hallway led to a staircase downstairs. "What a weird pet store," Lita commented, going down the stairs. With each step, it seemed to get hot. She could hear really raspy--inhuman breathing with each step. The staircase led underground to a cave. It was dark but hot.
"Sailor Mars?" Lita said. The strange breathing got louder. She heard a hissing voice say:
"Get out of here!"
The voice sounded somewhat like Wufei's, but it was a little different. Kind of like two voiced joined together.
"Wufei?" Lita whispered. Her sailor instincts told her this was the time to transform.
"JUPITER CRYSTAL POWER!"
She became Sailor Jupiter for the first time in months. She let out a sigh. "I've almost forgotten what it was like to be a sailor scout!"
A dragon made out of fire crept out of the darkness.
"Mars, the dragon is my idea," Sailor Jupiter snarled, "why don't you get a fire lion since you're around lions all the time?"
The fire dragon growled at her.
"Uh, Mars?" Jupiter mumbled.
It shot fire at her and Jupiter counter attacked in time, "JUPITER OAK EVOLUTION!"
Her went right through the flaming dragon.
"It's not working," she frowned, "oh, great, so now what do I do?" She could see someone standing in the center of the dragon. There was someone controlling it.
"Two can play at this game!" she shouted, "I call upon the Jupiter Thunder Dragon! Lend me your strength!"
There was a loud thunder crash and sparks started dancing on Sailor Jupiter's skin. Many lightning bolts swarmed around her and assembled the Jupiter Thunder Dragon. She was its new master and she could make it do whatever she wanted.
"All right," she said to the person inside the fire dragon, "let's dance!" She made the Thunder Dragon scratch through the Fire Dragon. "Who are you?" Sailor Jupiter demanded.
"Go away!" The person snarled.
The two dragons continued to quarrel. No matter what happened, Sailor Jupiter would not give up.
"Sailor Jupiter, save Wufei," echoed Merian's voice.
"Merian?" Sailor Jupiter mumbled.
Merian appeared and pointed into the dragon of fire, "He's controlling the dragon. You have to stop him. The collar, destroy the collar." And disappeared.
"Collar? What collar?" Sailor Jupiter muttered. She looked inside the dragon of fire and sighed, "well, here goes nothing." Se ran into the Fire Dragon and threw her arms around the being inside. Indeed, it was Wufei. They fell out of the dragon of fire and both dragons disappeared. "Wufei?"
Wufei didn't quite look the same. His flesh was covered in flames. Sailor Jupiter jumped back and screamed at the burning pain.
"Ow, that hurt!" she cried. She looked at the flammable Wufei, "You really are not a people person; are you Wufei?"
"You deserved what you got, woman!" He scowled. "Don't come near me!"
"Wufei, I don't care if they turned you into a giant rabid panda bear!" she hissed, "I'm never going to leave you, understand? I care about you too much to lose you!" She narrowed her eyes on the silver collar around his neck. 'That's it, what Merian was talking about.' "SPARKLING WIDE PRESSURE!"
The lightning hit the collar and it broke in a bunch of tiny pieces. The flames on Wufei's skin burned out and he fell onto the ground.
"Wufei," Sailor Jupiter gasped and ran to him. "Wufei, are you all right?" she propped him up.
"L-Lita?"
"Yeah, it's me. Sailor Jupiter," she said. "You should've remained in your room, young man! I was worried about you! You idiot, what's the matter with you?"
Wufei's lip trembled and shed a tear, "Lita."
"Hey," she whispered, "don't cry! It was just a joke!"
"That's not why I'm crying," he frowned, his voice breaking, "I know you didn't mean it."
"Then what's the matter, Wufei?" she asked, "did they hurt you? Don't worry, I'll take care of them!"
He got very emotional and clamped onto Sailor Jupiter's waist. "Oh, Lita!"
"Too tight!" she gasped.
"You really do care about me!"
"Of course I do," she mumbled.
"No matter what I say you're always there," he blubbered, squeezing her so tight her eyes almost popped out. "You came for me! I always knew you would."
"I couldn't let you down," she wheezed. 'Wow, Merian was right, he is sensitive!'
"I don't even deserve you," he went on, "but you stick around anyway. I don't know what I'd do without you!" He started to bawl into her chest.
Sailor Jupiter wasn't sure how to react. She looked up and saw Merian floating above them, nodding with a huge grin on her face as if to say, 'I told you so!' She pretended not to see her and closed her eyes. "There. There," she patted his back. "Don't cry, Wufei." And she thought, 'Please, please don't cry!'
"I-I c-can't h-help it!" he wailed.
"Okay, just let it out," she told him, with a very uncomfortable look on her face. 'I think I like the insensitive Wufei better,' she thought.
Wufei did let it out. For ten minutes.
"Have a good cry," she said, "okay, that's enough." She pushed him back.
"Can we go home now?" he asked, "Please?"
"We have to stop whoever did this to you," she explained, "and find the others. Don't you remember who did this?"
"I was kind of out of it," he answered, rubbing his eyes, "but I was injected with something."
"How did you get here?" she asked.
He blushed, "Well, I, uh…"
"Wufei?"
"I couldn't sleep so I decided to go for a walk," he said.
"Why didn't you come and get me?" she demanded.
"You had a snake bite," he reminded, "not me. Hey, shouldn't you be sleeping?"
"Wufei, I feel better now!" she growled.
"You don't lookit!" he cried, "you looked like were burned at the stake! What happened to you?"
"You did this to me!" she shouted, "hey turned you into some fire demon thing and when I saved you, I got a little singed!"
"Oh, I'm sorry," he said, getting a bit teary eyed.
"Don't be," she told him, "it was an accident. Now, you were telling me how you got here?"
"I came across this pet store and I thought I'd get you a pet," he reported.
"Ah, Wufei, that's so sweet!"
"Too bad the animals here aren't even real," he groaned, "I looked around for someone and then I got lost. Someone attacked me. I don't know who it was."
She helped him to his feet, "let's go."
"Why are you looking like that?" he asked.
"Because, I'm Sailor Jupiter," she answered smartly. "You've just always see me as Lita."
"Oh." He smiled. "How did you know how to find me?"
"And old friend of yours and a new friend of mine gave me the message," she explained as they walked down the hall. "Let's go, scholar boy."
"Don't ever call me scholar boy!" he shouted.
Lita slapped him on the back, "it's great to have you back, Wufei!"
*********************************************
Mariemaia sat in her room, wondering where the others were and missing Rini. Then she appeared in front of her as Small Lady with wings.
"Rini!" Mariemaia cried, "I was just thinking of you!"
"Me too," Small Lady said. "I have a message for you. The gundam pilots are in trouble and the sailor scouts went to save them. The new enemy you have is nothing like you have fought before. They are an enemy for the sailor scouts. There is only one way to stop them."
"How?"
She pointed to her brioche that she gave to Mariemaia, "They are defenseless to crystal. That's why the sailor scouts' powers work against Mistress18's mutants; they are powered by crystal. The gundams are not magical like the sailor's mobile suits."
"Is there anything that I can do?" Mariemaia asked.
"Yes, let's go to your father's office," Small Lady answered.
"Why?"
"You'll see."
They went to his office. "It's been a while since I've been in here."
Small Lady pointed to his desk, "Open the top drawer."
"Have you been snooping in my father's office?" Mariemaia questioned as she went to it. She pulled open the drawer and saw a rather fancy handgun. "My father's gun."
"Pick it up."
"I feel kind of funny picking up my father's gun," Mariemaia said. "I should get his permission first."
"You can ask him," Small Lady told her, "he's right behind you."
"He is?" she turned slowly and indeed, there he was. "Daddy?"
He smiled pleasantly. "Hello, Mariemaia."
"You're really here!" she shouted.
"Go ahead and pick up my gun," he insisted.
"I can?"
"Yes," he said. "It's all right. Don't worry, I'm already dead."
"Uh, okay," she reached inside the drawer and picked the gun up. From Rini's old brioche, came a bright pink light. It shined on the gun and changed it and the remaining bullets, into crystal. "Wow, cool!" She picked up a cartridge of bullets and they changed from led into crystal.
"I need you to go and help the others," Small Lady said, "I'll lead you there."
"This is weird," Mariemaia whispered.
"We can talk later," Small Lady said, "we must be off."
She looked at her dad, "but I want to stay here with you."
"I'll always be here, Mariemaia," he promised her. "Always." His translucent hand touched her cheek and then he was gone.
"Daddy, no!" she shouted.
"Don't worry, Mariemaia," Small Lady said, "He'll always be here and so will I."
"Rini, thank you for being my friend," Mariemaia praised.
Small Lady smiled, "thank you for being mine."
**********************************************
"I wonder if the others have found the guys yet," Mina said, walking down a hall. "And I wonder who built this place! Someone could get lost in here!" She heard hurried footsteps headed toward her, thinking it was Quatre, she shouted his name.
A familiar girl with long blond hair came into view.
"Dorothy," Mina muttered and raised her voice, "Where's Quatre?"
"Mina, you have to get out of here!" she yelled, stopping in front of her and gasping for air. "It's not safe!"
"Tell me where Quatre is!" Mina commanded.
"There's no time for that," she gasped, taking her hand and walking on. "We must go!"
"I can't leave him here!" she snarled, pulling back her hand, "tell me where he is!"
"He's up there," she pointed past Mina. "But he's not the same."
Mina cocked her head, wondering if Dorothy was lying or telling the truth.
"I was wrong about Quatre," she mumbled pitifully, "he's not just a pathetic weak pacifist, he's quite strong. He's kinder and stronger than me. Now there's no more kindness left."
"Dorothy," Mina said, calming her voice, "what happened to Quatre?"
She looked behind Mina and blanched, "stay here if you want but I'm leaving!" she turned around ran as fast as she could. 'How could I ever trust Mistress18?' she thought, 'I have to find Midii so we can stop her before she kills everyone!'
Mina ran after her then stopped, "Wait, Dorothy!" she called after her and groaned. She looked down and noticed sand collect around her feet. "Where did all this sand come from?" She turned around and huge blast of sand and wind hit her hard. "Ugh!" She braced herself and squinted her eyes to see a 7 feet tornado of sand. Barely, she could make out a body in the center of it.
"I think it's time for me to transform," she said, "VENUS CRYSTAL POWER!"
A trail of swirling stars and hearts went around her and she became Sailor Venus, the soldier of love and beauty once again.
From inside the whirlwind, a small curved sword flew out and landed in the wall she was standing next to, right by her face.
"Ahhh!" she hopped back, "that almost went through my skull!" She looked at the whirlwind but was unable to recognize the person inside. "Watch it!"
The whirlwind came closer, almost pushing her away.
"VENUS LOVE AND BEAUTY SHOCK!" she kissed her hand and threw the heart. The whirlwind prevented her attack from going inside. "Dang it! I have to get the person out of that thing if I want to stop it! Who are you?"
There was no answer.
"Well, I suppose I'll have to pull you out!" she shouted, "VENUS LOVE CHAIN ENCIRCLE!" The chain successfully went inside the whirlwind and went around the person's second sword because she heard them clang together. He broke the chain. "Hey!"
"You think you can stop me?" demanded the person inside, "do you consider me that weak?"
She recognized the voice, though it sounded a little different, "Quatre?" She peered inside the whirlwind and was able to make out the gentle blond haired Arabian, dressed like an Arabian Knight. "What happened to you? Have you been piloting Wing Zero again?"
The sand cleared and the whirlwind fell apart. What Dorothy had said about Quatre was true; he was different. He held another sword in his hand and looked incredibly fierce. They made him into the Desert Noble, but forgot about the 'noble' part.
"Quatre, this is not like you," she said, "you're kind and gentle."
"You want to see gentle?" he demanded, coming close, "I'll show you gentle!"
Sailor Venus walked back, "Don't' do it, Quatre! I love you!"
If the collar was not controlling Quatre, he would've said he loved her too. Instead, he pretended as if he heard nothing continued to walk to her.
"I have to stop him," she whispered. "But how?"
He took out the sword that was stuck in the wall and threw them around his body and twirled them around.
"Hey, that's pretty impressive," Sailor Venus complimented. She caught eye of the collar around his neck, 'that's it. That's what is controlling him!'
What was more impressive was that he formed another whirlwind around himself with the swords. "Have a taste of the desert!" A gust of wind took her out of the ground and swung her in the air.
"You have a taste of love!" she hissed, though she was becoming dizzy, "VENUS CRESCENT SMASH!" She directed the attack to his neck. The collar split in half and Sailor Venus dropped to the ground. The wind stopped and the sand disappeared.
Quatre's swords fell into pieces. He grabbed his heart, groaning. His desert Arabian Knight attire changed back to his snazzy aristocratic clothes. He opened his eyes, feeling like he had been lying on a bed made out of sand paper.
"Wh-where am I?" he wondered out loud, "and why do I have sand in my eyes?" He took a finger and cleaned the corner of his eye with his fingertip. He caught sight of Sailor Venus lying on the ground. "Mina!" he ran to her and fell to her side. He turned her around and looked at her. "Hey, are you okay?"
"Quatre?" she mumbled.
He nodded.
"It worked," she whispered.
"Do you hurt anywhere?" he asked.
"I'm fine," she said, "I'm a Sailor Scout. It's you I'm worried about."
"Why?"
"You don't remember?"
He shook his head.
"They did something to you," she explained. "That's why I'm here. Serena and the other girls came to find you guys."
"Does this have to with why Duo was kidnapped?"
"Yeah, they're after you too," Sailor Venus said. "We'd better find the others."
"Okay." He blinked a couple times, "how come I have sand in my eyes?"
