Chapter 18 – Purity Taken…
Usagi followed Duo, her eyebrow furrowed in concentration. 'I'll save you Quatre… Heero…' She thought as she flew after Duo into the base. She hid Sandrock and took the Silver Crystal off the front, the suit returning to normal. She followed him silently through the base, not making a sound.
"It's this way." He whispered harshly as he grabbed Usagi's arm. Usagi saw that he was sweating heavily and looked to be holding back a cry of pain.
"What's wrong Duo-san?" She asked as he grabbed her roughly by the arm. He pulled away, covering his face with his hands.
"You're on your own Usagi…" He said, staggering backward. She could see tendrils of negative energy running their fingers through Duo's body and gasped slightly. "My orders were to bring you to Mistress Nine, I can't do it… She'll kill you…" He said as he bit down hard on his lip.
"I understand, thank you Duo," Usagi said as she ran in the opposite direction. She pushed past a few guards, seeing that they were all asleep. 'What's going on here?' She asked herself as she ran through the base. She came to a door and pushed it open, sensing something very strange. When she walked in, she gasped and bit down on her lip, trying to hold back the tears. There was Quatre, naked and in a bed next to Miyana. "Quatre-chan?" She questioned, feeling the tears prick the corners of her eyes. "What have you done to him Miyana?!?" She spat, angry tears streaming down her face.
"I didn't do anything to him, sister. He loves me, he never did love you." Miyana said simply.
"He did love me, you've just brainwashed him some how…" Usagi said, hiding the hurt she was feeling and covering it up with anger.
"I love Miyana." Quatre's voice came. It was calm and without emotion.
"You can't mean that Quatre…" Usagi said, her sad eyes meeting his ice blue ones. She searched for any emotion but couldn't seem to find it. These weren't the same caring blue eyes that she come so grown to know. They weren't the ones that were filled with love when he gazed upon her and they weren't the same ones that said he would always protect her.
"Omae o koroso." He said as clothes appeared on his out of nowhere. He floated off the bed, his face void of any emotion.
"You don't mean that Quatre…" She whispered, reaching a hand toward him. He slapped her hand away, forming a large negative energy blast in his palm.
"Say goodbye, princess." Quatre said calmly.
"Moon Crystal Power Make-UP!!" Usagi cried, holding the broach above her head. She barely managed to dodge the deadly blast, ducking to one side while the blast blew to door off. "Stop this Quatre!" She shouted in anger. "I don't want to kill you but you're giving me no choice!" She shouted, not wanted to hurt him.
"You won't kill him, princess," Miyana voice said. She was now fully dressed and hovering off the ground. "You love him, how could you possibly hurt him? Besides, he's very powerful now. More powerful than you know."
"I don't care, I won't let you corrupt him anymore!!" Sailor Moon shrieked, anger and pain streaked across her face as she lunged at Miyana. "I'll kill you for what you've done to him!!" She felt her hands tighten around Miyana's throat as her anger gripped her entire body and soul. She gasped as she felt pain ripping through her body moments later. A look of pain crossed her eyes as she looked up to see Quatre holding a negative energy blast in his palm, having thrown one at her moments before.
"You'll die Serenity." He said calmly, a look of no emotion on his face. He grabbed Sailor Moon roughly from behind. He threw her off of Miyana and began to help Miyana to her feet, the dark energy taking his body over and his memories were forgotten.
"Don't do this Quatre…" She pleaded, feeling the tears falling freely.
"Goodbye, princess…" He said as he prepared to threw the blast at a shivering Sailor Moon that sat on the ground, broken and full of an overwhelming sorrow deep within.
"Moon Crisis Make-Up…" She whispered as the Holy Grail appeared in her hands. She called forth the little bit of power she could and a moment later, Super Sailor Moon stood before them. "I won't let them have you Quatre… I love you…" She whispered as the crystalline tears continued to fall down her pale face. The spiral heart wand appeared in her hand as she began her attack. "Rainbow… Moon… Heart… Ache…" She whispered as she aimed the attack at Miyana, feeling sorrow gripping at her. Miyana may have been bitter and jealous, but she was still Serenity's sister and she didn't deserve this. Serenity knew that the negative forces had gotten to her and her jealousy grew more rapid from there.
"That pitiful little attack won't be able to stop me!" Miyana shouted as a similar weapon appeared in her hand. "Black Moon Heart BREAK!" She shouted, sending black hearts straight at Sailor Moon's attack. The two met in the middle. The black hearts mixing with the light pink ones. "You can't win Serenity!" She shouted as her evil laughter filled Sailor Moon's ears.
"I refuse to give up Quatre like this!! I love him and I'll do all I can to save him, even kill my own sister!" Sailor Moon shouted, feeling the tears continue to fall.

"Nani? Is that a Gundam?" A man asked as he looked on at the mobile suit attacking the colony.
Heero was heading for the convention that was being held on the Winner colony, being sure to cause as much damage as possible.
"Heero! We shouldn't be doing this!" Duo shouted, gripping his head as his memories ran through his head. The negative energy trailed through his body, making him cry out in pain. 'What's happening to me?!' He asked himself, seeing the tendrils of dark energy reaching out from the suit. 'It's this suit!' He thought as he saw the dark energy reaching toward him. "I have to get out of here!" He shouted outloud, barely managing to open the hatch on the front of the suit.
"What are you doing Maxwell?! We have work to do!" Wufei demanded, then muttered something about Duo's weakness.
"Hey! Get out of your suits! They're using us!" He shouted as he landed roughly on the hard ground.
"Out of the way Duo," Heero's emotionless voice stated as he pointed his energy saber down at Duo. "Get back in your suit right now, that's a direct order."
"No! You've been brainwashed!" Duo yelled up to them. "Get out of the suits now!"
"Out of the way Duo." Heero's monotone voice continued. He raised the energy saber above his head, bringing it down as fast as he could, heading straight for Duo…

"I won't give up!" Sailor Moon shrieked, the tears flowing freely down her cheeks. The dark hearts came closer to her, her attack weakening. "I refuse to let you win!"
"Miyana!" A woman's voice snapped. Miyana dropped her attack, frowning as she heard Mistress Nine's beckon. "Bring Serenity before me at once!" She ordered.
"Hai, my Lady." Miyana said, bowing her head at the fading figure of Mistress Nine. Sailor Moon slumped to the ground, her transformation into Super Sailor Moon lost. Quatre stood behind Miyana, his eyes glaring down at Usagi.
"Please Quatre-chan… fight it…" Usagi whispered, fearing for her love. She felt the sharp crack of the negative energy that passed through her limp body. She didn't fight it… couldn't fight it… she didn't even cry out in pain as she felt the bonds of energy tighten around her body. She felt her body being lifted off the ground and a single tear fell as she disappeared with Miyana.
"Usa-chan…" Quatre whispered, then grabbed his head, feeling the pain rip through his body again.
****
Duo watched as the energy saber headed down on him, unable to move from the fear of it all.
"Hey! Heero what do you think you're doing?!?" He demanded, feeling the fear grip at his body as the saber edged nearer and nearer.

Sailor Moon painfully opened her eyes, seeing a woman with raven black hair that hung in piles on the ground, sitting above on the throne. Usagi gasped as she saw Sakura laying unconscious on some sort of a table in front of the woman.
"Sakura!" Usagi shouted, running toward the child. She ran toward the child, crying out in pain as negative energy ripped through her body.
"That's far enough, Serenity," Miyana growled, lowering her hand. Usagi lost her transformation of Sailor Moon, crawling slowly across the ground in a tattered skirt and tank top. "I said that's far enough!" Miyana cried, sending another deadly blast toward Usagi. Usagi bit back the pain and forced herself to keep moving toward and unconscious ChibiUsa.
"ChibiUsa…" She whispered as she slowly forced herself to her feet. She reached the child and a moment later, went flying back into the wall.
"Stay back Serenity!" The woman with dark hair cried. "Get out of here now!" Another more innocent voice pleaded from the woman. "Stay out of this!!" The first voice shouted.
"ChibiUsa…" Usagi whispered as she pushed herself away from the wall, barely able to stand. "I won't let you be a victim in this war…" She whispered as she forced herself to walk toward the table ChibiUsa lay on.
"What is wrong, Sovern of Silence?" Yoshimi asked, kneeling at the woman's side.
"I need pure heart energy." Her voice said, sweat trickling down her face.
"As you wish, my Lady." He said as he walked toward ChibiUsa. A dark silhouette came from him and dove into ChibiUsa's body. Usagi forced herself to run as she heard ChibiUsa's cries of pain.
"ChibiUsa!!" Usagi shouted as she grabbed the child in her arms. She cried out in pain as dark energy again ripped through her body, but she clutched the child to her chest, shielding her… protecting her…
"Stay out of this Serenity!" Yoshimi shouted as he tried to pull ChibiUsa from her arms. Usagi closed her eyes and a brilliant white light lit up the area and a moment later, the two girls stood hand in hand dressed as princesses.
"You have failed." Usagi said plainly as the dark silhouette receded back into Yoshimi's body. Usagi felt a familiar presence behind her and turned to see Quatre staggering toward her, holding his heart. Usagi noticed the sparks of dark energy that ran through his body.
"Tousan!" ChibiUsa cried as she ran to her father's side. She hugged his legs, not caring about the negative energy that flowed into her body.
"Quatre-chan…" Serenity whispered as she floated toward her love. She lay in his arms, a pure white energy washing over the three people. When the light died down, Quatre lay unconscious in Usagi's arms, the dark energy gone from his body.
"No! Quatre's mine!!" Miyana shrieked as she lunged at Usagi. Usagi put herself in between Miyana and Quatre, taking the full blow of the attack and falling limp against Quatre's unconscious body.
"Miyana! Bring me that boy!" Mistress Nine snapped. Miyana frowned, but obliged, sending ChibiUsa crashing into the wall. Quatre floated beside her and lay on the table that ChibiUsa had once occupied.
"His heart is more pure than even that child's." Yoshimi commented as he prepared to take the heart.
"Quatre! No!" Usagi shrieked as she ran toward them. A force field appeared around him, sending charge after charge of negative energy into her already weakened body.
"Get me that heart." Mistress Nine ordered, becoming short of breath. Yoshimi smirked and obliged, the dark silhouette once again appearing. The shadows dove into Quatre's body and his cries of pain echoed off the high ceiling.
"QUATRE!!" Usagi shrieked as she again ran into the barrier that surrounded him. She felt the energy again pass through her body, there was nothing she could do. A beautiful crystal appeared a moment later, looking like a crystal star and shone brightly. She felt the tears fill her eyes as she dropped to his side, cradling his limp body in her arms. She felt the warm tears slide down her face as she held him against her battered body.
"Tousan!" ChibiUsa shouted as she ran up next to Usagi. She threw herself face down on Quatre's chest, sobbing loudly.
"Princess!" A voice cried behind her. Usagi turned to see Sailor's Neptune, Uranus, and Pluto. "Get out of here!" Uranus shouted. Usagi shook her head, determined to get the crystal back.
"No!" She shouted in defiance. "I'll get that crystal back!" She walked up to Mistress Nine, reaching her hands out toward the crystal. Usagi struggled against the dark energy Mistress Nine sent at her and was thrown back into Sailor Uranus. In one quick movement, Mistress Nine swallowed the pure heart, her deep violet eyes darkening at the new power that ran through her body.
"I'm unstoppable now!" Mistress Nine shouted as the innocent voice faded, leaving only the bitter evil voice. "I'll kill you all!"
