Her head ached so bad as she finally came out of her place of darkness. She opened her emerald eyes slowly to look up at a beautiful ceiling with painting of angels up in the clouds. She sighed as she finally sat up. Her head was spinning which caused her to lean on her elbows. She looked at herself to see she was in a tight low-cut white dress that started getting a little bit puffy starting from the waist. Her head turned once she heard the door open. A smile spread over her face once she saw who came in. He was in a black tuxedo.


"Duo!" She quickly ran over to him and latched herself around his waist. She never looked at his face expression or anything. Just by the outer appearance she knew it was him. (or was it? Hehehehehehehehehe)


"You're here to rescue me, aren't you? I knew you would come. Lets hurry and get out of here before they come back, whom ever they are," she said grabbing his hand and leading him to the door. He smirked and pulled her away from the door.


"You're not going anywhere Princess."


"Duo, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling alright?" she asked studying his face for a moment and then it dawned on her. That evil grin, evil in his eyes.


"No! They took you over! The negaverse is behind this!" She tried jerking her arm away but she couldn't get it away from his grasp.


"I'm not Duo," he smirked.


"Then who the hell are you?" she screamed.


"Daemon, the Prince of Darkness." She finally pushed away from him.


"You're not the Prince of Darkness! You're Duo Maxwell!" He growled.


"He's not dead?"


"What are you talking about? You are him!"


"Never speak of that name in my presence!" With that, he turned on his heel and left.

Eight different colored lights came out of the sky as they landed in the desert in front of a mansion.


"Lets see if they're home," said Moon and then they all started to run for it. Mars and Venus pounded on the door hoping that someone would answer it. The door opened to see a man Chinese man standing there.


"What do you want you weak onnas?" he asked. Mars punched him back.


"That's for calling Makoto a weak onna!" she yelled. Quatre came up.


"I hope my friends didn't offend you ladies. Please, come in," he said. They quickly came in where he took them into the living room where they all took their seats. Duo just sat looking out the window in deep thought.


"We're here to help you get Makoto---" Duo quickly turned.


"What about Makoto?" he asked eagerly. Pluto continued.


"We're here to help you get her back. It seems that some evil force has finally found her and now is trying to use her to take over the planet Jupiter. The only way they can do that is by marrying her but, we have to stop them. If that Prince of Darkness marries her, then we're all doomed. The only problem is, he looks like you Duo."


"How do you know my name?" he asked.


"She's the Keeper of Time and she knows everything that you wouldn't want to know," said Mars.


"How are we going to get her back?" he asked. Urans clutched her fist.


"I say we go in with full force and kick their asses."


"Yeah! I wanna torch them," said Mars.


"I get the Prince! I wanna kill him for harming Makoto," said Venus.


"How do all of you know Makoto?" asked Quatre.


"We've known her for thousands of years. She is the Princess of Jupiter, heir to the Jovian thrown and last one of her race. She is also a Sailor Senshi and fighter along with us. She traveled into the dimension so that she could get some space and have a normal life without any senshi business. The only thing is, something went terribly wrong. She was almost killed, my portals are sealed, and I have no way of bringing her back to her rightful dimension. After this past year, we finally found out how to get here. Now, she needs our help to be rescued. The only problem is, we can't do it alone. We need to help of your Gundams in order to get into outer space where we will attack at full force and get her back before he marries her," said Pluto. Quatre nodded.


"We will help you all as best as we can. Any friends of Makoto is friends of ours." Venus smiled.


"He's sweet and cute! I wish we had guys like him in our dimension." Mars nodded in agreement.


"Yep."

They pulled her down the hall kicking and screaming. She pulled herself back away from their grips and started running in another direction than theirs. Just as she turned around one sharp corner, she was grabbed and thrown over one shoulder.


"You will have to chain me down if you want to get me anywhere!"


"That can be arranged." She kept kicking his leg in the same spot since her arms were held. Suddenly she was placed on her feet and slapped. Her hand went over the burning spot on her face. Rage filled as she looked up into the evil face of the man she was suppose to marry. Her fist clutched and then she took the swing which met with his jaw. He took one step back where she tripped him and sat on top of him. Her hand clutched his collar which her emerald eyes glared.


"Don't you ever slap me again unless you want to pull my foot out of your ass," she said between her teeth.


"Rough. That's how I like it." She removed herself from him and started walking away. He followed behind her and turned her in the right direction. She pulled herself away from him once he tried to touch her.


"Keep your hands to yourself." He pushed her through a door where he shut it behind them. She went for the door only to find him in front of it. They were in the chapel area. The preist was standing there, waiting for them. He grabbed her wrist and started pulling her toward the alter. He held her there even while she struggled.

They started running down the halls, opening doors, looking for the room until Saturn started leading them to a door where it flung open. Their they stood, without even noticing it. Duo watched with discust as the man brought her into his arms by force, with her close to his chest. She was leaning back as far as she could. The tears were in her eyes while she stood their against her own will. His lips were close to hers.


"Don't touch her," yelled Duo with rage. Daemons lips touched hers before she could turn her head to look at Duo. He turned his head to smile at them all.


"I'm so sorry that we can't stay. We have a honeymoon to get to. You know a heir is needed for our thrown." Duo ran for them both, as he watched tears escape Makoto's eyes and roll down her cheek.


"You want to fight dear brother? Then a fight's what you're going to get!" He pushed Makoto away from him to have her fall onto the floor.


"Bring it on!" Duo started getting a gold aura around him as he stood there. His suit changed into a knight's uniform where he glared. No weapon was with him though. Daemon pulled out his sword and charged for Duo where he quickly dodged him and started shooting at him only to see that bullets didn't have any affect on him. He started charging, Duo tripped and landed on the ground. Daemon smirked as he made a slash only to hear a female's scream of pain. He looked at see his wife was in front of Duo, blood had taken over her silken dress where her abdomen was. Her weakened body feel back where Duo quickly caught her. He looked at her in his arms.


"Why did you do it?" he asked.


"To save you Duo. Why wouldn't I?" she asked looking up at him.


"You shouldn't have done it Makoto! I'd rather have you live instead of me."


"Do me a favor," she whispered.


"Anything."


"Get revenge for me Duo. Don't let him win." He nodded as he held her in his arms, watching her life slip away.


"I'm going to get him for you Makoto. You're going to be the reason for why I should kill him now instead of letting mercy take over me." Her shaky hand gently touched his cheek before he watched it fall, her eyes close, and her chest fall for the last time.






An: So sad. So sad....
