Rowen slowly opened his eyes and made the mistake of looking down. "Where.. the Dynasty?!" He exclaimed. He then heard a laugh as he looked over his friends. It was there that he spotted her. "Kayla!" He screamed to the unconscious Moon Princess, but then, he screamed again as a shock of pain and lightening went through his body. "She nor any of your friends can hear you, Strata. So don't you dare even try." Zoisite snickered as she floated in the air above him. "Zoisite... you lit- AAAHHHHH!" He screamed as another wave of electricity went through him, knocking him out and taking his power from him. Zoisite laughed as she twirled a piece of hair in between her fingers. "Now.. All I have to do is deal with that thorn in my side Triforce.. But first. I think I will have a little fun with Wildfire." She then looked down on her enemies. "I have everything where I want it and where it belongs for now.. But I will be more victorious in the future. soon the whole universe will be under my control."

"Come on Ryo. It's not your fault and you know it." Jenna said as she tried to comfort her love. "But if only I would have moved faster or been more alert.." He said as he punched the wall of the cavern that he and Jenna decided to hide in. She gasped and ran to him as he fell to his knees, sobbing once again. "It's all my fault.." He murmured to himself over and over. "No it's not! Please Tora Hitomi! ((Translation: Tiger Eyes!)) Don't talk like that!" She said as she held him close to her and rubbed the back of his head. "I got you... shh.." She whispered as he sobbed into her chest. "Why can't I ever get away with not hurting my friends? I always hurt them.. I'm no good to you guys." He cried as blood ran from his knuckles on the hand that he punched into the wall. "Yes you are! We'd be lost without you, Ryo. Please.. Don't talk like this.." She begged as tears fell from her own eyes. She took his bleeding hand in hers and cleaned it up. "You're so much to us.. If not the others, then me. Please don't ever doubt yourself. If you do, then many of us have no hope." "Oh Jenna.. You're right.. I'm sorry." Ryo said as he watched her bandage his hand. Once she was done, he took her chin and lifted it with his index finger. She smiled when their eyes met. She then wrapped her arms around him as he pulled her face a little closer to his when he leaned down over her. Jenna then let her lips embrace Ryo's softly. With her fingers smoothing through his hair, she kissed him with the same gentleness that he had used on her. A moment later they pulled back and she rested her head on his shoulder. "You're always there when I need you, aren't you?" Ryo asked softly as he played with her French braided hair, wondering if he should take it out or not. She giggled and then looked up at him. "I am here because I love you." She whispered before kissing him softly and briefly again. "And I love you..." He said and then they both went silent as something cold filled the air. "Do you feel that?" Jenna asked as she stood and looked around the area that they were in. Slowly, she headed for the entrance to see what was causing the odd feeling that she was getting. "Be careful, Jenna-sama. I don't like the things that I am feeling from out there." Ryo whispered as he stood behind her with his hand in hers. She nodded and then closed her eyes. "Zoisite. I am sure of it." "How so?" He asked as he pulled her close, back into the shadows. "I would know that ratty feeling anywhere.. Trust me. You learn to memorize it after a while." She said as she looked up at him for a moment. She then kissed his cheek before slowly walking over to the doorway again. "Come out, come out, where ever you are, Jenna. I know you are somewhere around here with Wildfire." Zoisite said as she floated right over the cavern. Jenna tried to hold back a gasp and quietly inched back towards Ryo. "Don't forget, you are on my turf now, and I have the advantage." Jenna growled slightly and then said to Ryo, "I am going to go Mars and then attack her.." "No. I can't let you do that. I can't loose you too. Not again." Ryo pleaded with her as he held her against him. She looked into his eyes and whispered his name with a sigh. "Okay.. Attack with me ok?" She smiled at him as he nodded before kissing her slightly. Then, as she pulled out her kunshin pen, she took a step back away from him. She held it high above her head and shouted loud enough for Zoisite to hear, "MARS STAR POWER!" Zoisite smirked. "Finally. took her long enough to give up.." "Me? Give up? Honestly.. I thought you knew me better then that Zoisite." Sailor Mars said as she stood outside of the cave. "I know you well enough to know that you are a chicken!" The blonde haired ruler cackled. "Chicken? The only chicken I see around here is you." Ryo said as he stood beside Mars in his full armor. "At least you are chicken enough to hide behind your armies and warlords." "Don't give me a pep talk on courage and bravery, Wildfire! You're just wasting your breath." Zoisite shot back at him. "Oh yeah?" Ryo smirked and then charged at her. The two began to fight it out. Suddenly, Zoisite kicked Ryo's swords out of his hands. "NOOOO!" Sailor Mars yelled as a blast of energy was delivered to Ryo. She tried to run to him, but it was too late. "Hmmmm. I didn't have plans on taking this one just yet.. But it think it might be for the better after all.." Zoisite cackled to herself. "No matter.. Now I will win this war for sure!" "What makes you think that!" Mars yelled as she charged at her. But by time that she reached where Ryo was in front of Zoisite, she had disappeared, taking Ryo with her. "NOOO! REKKA-KUN!!" Jenna yelled before falling to the ground, sobbing heavily and begging him to come back.
