A petite girl, with black, shoulder-length hair, stood up suddenly, her violet eyes filled with an undescribable feeling. In her right hand, she clutched a glaive with the sign of Saturn burned deep into the metal. She looked up as an aqua colored shimmer appeared on the dark, marble floor.

"Taru-chan..." the lady who stepped out whispered.

"Hai, Michi-mama." the girl replied, "Demo, let me change first."

She gestured at the outfit she wore. She was wearing a black, spaggheti-strap dress that fell past her ankles to pool into a pool of midnight at her feet. Near-transparent wings sprouted from the back of the dress, making the air around them look hazy and blurred.

Hotara concentrated on her outfit and a purple symbol of Saturn appeared on her forehead as violet light enveloped her. When the light died down, she wore a white and purple fuku. The fuku's skirt, itself, was scandously short, but the dark purple boots she wore reached her knees, covering up most of the revealed skin. The wings that had been there before were now replaced by large, white ones that sprouted from the back of her attire.

Looking at the lady, Hotaru noticed that she had changed as well. Michiru now wore a fuku similar to Hotaru's, except it was aqua and white. However, unlike Hotaru, she wore light blue high-heels and, instead of a glaive, she held an aqua mirror in one hand, the symbol of Neptune was engraved on its back.

"Let's go." Hotaru said, just as two more people arrived in the room.

The first person had a sandy colored hair that was cut in a short, boyish fashion. She too wore a fuku, only hers was blue, yellow, and white. Like Michiru, she also wore high-heels although hers were a golden yellow.

"Ruka-papa!" Hotaru smiled brightly, her eyes sparkling slightly, "We were just about to leave!"

"We could tell." the fourth person murmured.

She had long, dark green hair that was pulled into a loose bun. She wore a dark green, and white fuku with matching knee-high boots. Maroon eyes were filled with haste.

"We must go." she whispered.

"Hai, Setsuna-mama." Hotaru replied as she disappeared in a flash of purple sparkles.

Soon, the giant room was empty of all people and it echoed with hollowness.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Usagi froze for a split second when she felt four familiar beings land on Earth. Part of her inner self welcomed their presence happily, while the rest did not. They would only try to stop her and slow her down. She couldn't let that happen.

Minutes later, she arrived at a large, metal storage building. With one quick blast, the wall in front of her melted, letting her into the room. Blue eyes sparkled at the gundam standing there, it was perfect.

Half angel, half devil. The gundam was split into two colors, half of it was black. That half had a black, bat-like wing. The other half was a pure, untarnished silvery-white. Instead of a bat-like wing, it had an angel one that sprouted from its back. In one hand, it held a beautifully crafted glaive, that, when powered, had a deadly purple blade.

Usagi closed her eyes and she began to float towards the open cockpit. Moments later, she was inside and starting the gundam up. A yellow glow filled the cockpit as the Zero system was activated. Minutes later, she blasted off into the sky and disappeared.

"But, sir, he was just thrown in! We don't want to kill him!" a soldier protested as he fumbled with a cell door.

"This base is under attack, soldier." Kivardi spat out, "We want all prisoners transported immediately."

"Yes, sir." the soldier replied quickly, flinging open the door, "Up!" he yelled at the person lying on the floor.

Duo winced as Kivardi delivered a sharp kick at his ribs, "Get up, 02, or it'll be worse for you." Kivardi growled.

Without waiting for his answer, Kivardi dragged him roughly out of the cell and down the hallway. The soldier turned around to see him do this and he protested.

"Sir, the shuttles are the other-" he was cut off as Kivardi turned around and shot him in the neck.

Kivardi continued on his way, leaving the soldier in the hallway, blood pooling around him. Reaching an iron door, Kivardi opened it and flung Duo inside, smirking in satisfaction as he noticed the fresh bruises that were beginning to show.

"Looks like Usako's on a killing spree." Kivardi remarked as he heard the screams outside of the iron door, "Too bad she won't get here in time-"

Kivardi was cut off as the door exploded in a blast that sent molten iron everywhere. Usagi stepped into the room, her silvery-blue eyes blazing. A dark, silvery aura surrounded her, making her seemed bathed in shadows and mystery.

"Never call me Usako, you bakayaro." Usagi hissed, in one hand, a silver ball of energy began to bloom, growing larger by the second, "Let Duo go and I might not hurt you too badly."

"Well, Usako, there seems to be a little treaty in order, hmm?" Kivardi asked as he grabbed Duo off of the floor and used him like a shield, "I would think that releasing that fireball of yours will kill him off to. Although, I will let him go as long as you come with me."

"In your dreams." Usagi spat, tossing the energy from one hand to another and back again, "How about you let him go, I go, and you lose an arm or leg?"

"Well in that case, it looks like I'll be leaving with 02 while you stay to consider my deal." Kivardi began to walk backwards, away from her.

"How about not." Usagi replied cooly as she released the energy.

A blue flash sparked as the ball hit and Duo found himself in a large bubble shield white the energy destroyed Kivardi. The shield died after a few minutes and Duo realized that he had been fully healed. He started towards Usagi as she collapsed, a faint crescent moon glowing on her forehead. For a moment, Duo felt something calling out to him, and the faintest part of him returned the call. However, the feeling passed, leaving Duo with an unconscious Usagi as he made his way towards his gundam.
