"What the hell!?" Duo shouted as he jumped back, narrowly avoiding the flying body of Wufei. Duo's hand reached for one of the laser cannons, they were the new smaller kind.
"Watch out!" Hotaru yelled as a shadow appeared before them in the red mist.
"What's wrong Senshi of Destruction and Rebirth? Why aren't you attacking?" Lyrissa mocked moving forward, smirking. Hotaru scowled and started to reach for her henshin stick. Lyrissa just kept on smirking, inviting Hotaru to try and transform, "You won't be able to beat me, and you shouldn't have brought your boyfriend, he'll be first to die."
"Shut up!!" Hotaru yelled as she raised her henshin stick, "Saturn Eternal Power!" Hotaru yelled as purple light surrounded her. Lyrissa watched, looking amused. Duo watched in aw as his tenshi truly did become and angel. An Angel of Destruction and Rebirth.
"Oohh, I'm so scared!" She cackled as Saturn pointed her glaive at her. Duo took this chance to take a shot at her. The laser cannon glowed, then a bright red beam shot out and hit Lyrissa right on the center of her back. Smoke enveloped her as she disappeared from view.
"Yes!" Duo yelled holding his hand in a v. Hotaru's eyes narrowed, she didn't think that Lyrissa could be beat that easily. After the smoke cleared, Hotaru saw that she was right. Lyrissa was standing there unscarred but very, very pissed.

"STOP!" A creature howled from the darkness as the group headed towards a dark hallway. Trowa's hand immediately went for the grenade he had, one of many as Quatre stopped behind him. Minako readied her chain as Heero held a laser cannon on his shoulder.
"Where's the bazooka again?" Quatre asked, he wanted to be prepared for whatever was coming towards them.
"In my subspace pocket, I hope we won't have to be forced to use it." Minako answered grabbing her chain firmly, she had already henshined.
"So little miss gundam pilot decided to come eh?" A creature with long arms that reached its ankles came out. It had long gray hair and it's body sprouted scales and fur and feathers all over. It had fangs and it was apparent that it was a female.
"What are you? You're not a youma, I sense something mortal about you." Minako stated with a puzzled expression.
"Me? Why do you care?" she rasped cackling. Suddenly her eyes widened and she let out a screech, "HHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEERRROOO!!! You came! You really do love me don't you?"
"Forget I asked." Minako muttered, it was apparent what it was, keyword; WAS, Relena.
"Nani!?" Heero gasped as he took a step back. Apparently he had figured it out.
"So, you sold your soul to the Devil." Minako said sighing.
"What?" the creature that was Relena blinked, with a sweatdrop.
"It's an expression." Quatre explained being the kind person he is.
"Oh."
"Smart one, aren't you?" Minako taunted, the chain filled with energy.
"I'll never forgive you for stealing my Heero! He loved me till you came along you witch!" Relena/creature screamed charging.
"Nobody stole me. I've never loved you, I was kind because it was a mission. You took it the wrong way." Heero tried to explain in his monotone meeting Relena's eyes.
"B-but, I was queen! We could of had everything!" Relena wailed, seeing a 7-foot monster kneeling and wailing at the top of her very big lungs was not a pretty sight or a pretty sound. Suddenly she stopped. Her eyes flashed dangerously.
"No it's you! You're a witch and you put my Heero under a spell!" the Relena creature shrieked pointing at Minako, "The spell will break if I kill you, so I will! For me and my Heero's love!"
"Whatever, shut up." Minako muttered preparing herself.
"Miss Minako, do you intend to actually hurt or kill Relena?" Quatre asked. He didn't think she'd actually kill a human, er, or what used to be a human.
"Listen, that curse those people put on Relena is irreversible. Don't worry, once her body dies, I will make sure her soul is reincarnated into this world so she wouldn't truly die."
"Irreversible huh? So I guess the only way to stop her is to kill her." Trowa stated. Minako nodded, reconfirming her theory. Relena started powering up, energy crackling around her. She sent bolt of energy at Minako who dodged and rolled on the ground. Where the bolt hit, the metal of the ground melted with the extreme heat of the bolt.
"Holy crap!" Minako yelled looking at the smothering metal. Relena cackled and prepared another bolt. This time Minako was ready. She jumped up in the air and flipped over. Just when she landed she used the chain to capture Relena's feet and then she yanked her chain tripping Relena. Relena landed with a thud and she howled with pain. Minako pulled the chain back and prepared for one of her attacks. Relena who was still lying on her back shot another bolt at Minako.
"Watch out!" Heero yelled when he noticed the bolt, Quatre gasped and Trowa's eyes widened. Minako snapped out of her trance and rolled to her right. She wasn't fast enough, though the bolt didn't make direct contact, the heat from it had burned her arm. Minako cried out in pain and held her burnt arm. She could still move her hand but it hurt to do so.

"It seems that Lyrissa and the new recruit are doing awfully well. Let's hope you wouldn't have to step in." A hoarse voice commented. The same voice as the person shrouded in black.
"Yes, my lord." Pyrite answered.
"As for the Guardian of the Gates of Time, she does not know of me. Go, and eliminate her."
"Hai." With that, Pyrite phased out and left his lord laughing in the darkness.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Dr. J, have you confirmed their position?" Setsuna asked, the gates of time told her this would not be a very easy task for the Senshi.
"Ah, yes, the Gundams are approximately 100 meters from the base. But I have received an e-mail from Heero." Dr. J answered, typing away on his computer.
"What does it say?"
"We are about to enter the base, the shield reflects the Gundams, we can not enter with them. We will take the weapons and enter without them. Infiltration, Phase One."
"Baka!" Setsuna hissed, the Gundams were their key weapons! Without them the chances of survival were slim. Very slim.
"What shall we do? Send some Mobile suits? The shield only reflects Gundamian alloy." Dr. J asked, this was Setsuna's field of work, he was uncertain about fighting youmas.
"Not yet. I'll be right back." Setsuna sighed as she got up and left the room. 'I must return to the Gates of Time. There would be some answers. She closed her eyes and concentrated. Soon she was in her Senshi uniform and at the Gates.
"Holy Gates open by my will!" Pluto commanded. Timelines spread around her in threads, some short, some eternal. She used her staff to pick out 7 timelines. Not surprising, 4 were intertwined though in another universe, another 4 were. Images flashed through her head of the possible results of the Senshi's action. Screaming, Death, Destruction, the end of the known world. Yet another held Triumph, Glory, and Reconstruction. Many possibilities and outcomes flashed through her head as she searched for answers. Suddenly she felt another presence in her wake. She gently pushed the timelines to their original positions and closed the gates.
"I am the Guardian of this Holy place! You who are not worthy must leave or face my wrath!" Setsuna announced, with her back turned to the intruder.
"Oh really? Guardian of the Gates of Time, face me and fight." The intruder stated. Setsuna turned and nearly dropped her staff. The person standing in front of her was the last person she would have ever thought would enter this holy place. That was because he was dead.

"That was a mistake pretty boy," Lyrissa hissed, her eyes glowed yellow.
"Don't you lay one finger on him or I swear by the power of Saturn I will return the favor ten times stronger." Hotaru hissed as her own eyes glowed and the power of Saturn surrounded her Holy glaive. Lyrissa cackled, she had lost interest in the mortal, there is a more challenging opponent. Lyrissa levitated in the air and brought her arms above her head as she chanted.
"By the power of the Durakkuurra Star, lend me, your faithful servant, your power!" Lyrissa levitated and blood red power surrounded her. 2 red welts appeared on her arms, slowly they separated from her flesh to become two long saber-like swords made of pure energy. When she floated down, a visible change had come over her. She had fangs like a vampire (pun intended, if you don't find it, just forget it) and her nails had grown about 2 inches. The swords were red and Hotaru gained the feeling that they were very, very hot. Lyrissa smiled, showing her fangs as she lunged forward swords in front. One of the swords came from the top and Hotaru blocked it with the glaive. Lyrissa used the other one to slash sideways to her waist. Hotaru felt pain surge through her body and looked down, the wound blossomed red stains on her uniform but what surprised her was that the energy swords were ice cold.
"Hotaru!" Duo screamed, horror apparent in his violet eyes. He used the cannon and shot the lasers at Lyrissa. He fired until he was out of power, he rushed to Hotaru's side. She was kneeling wincing in pain holding her open wound, "You'll be fine. I'll protect you." Duo reassured Hotaru who smiled in pain.
"No, it is I who must protect you."
