Chapter 9: Their Last Hope
Van looked up from his guymelef. He had stopped all of a sudden with the battle he had with Falken when he noticed something strange happening. Falken noticed it as well. Which is why both brothers stopped. They could feel the earth shake as the sky started to glow white.
"What's going on?" Falken asked as his guymelef was swallowed with the white glow.
Van quickly got out of his Escaflowne as he only thought of one person; Raye. He took off his shirt as he leaped into the sky, emerging angled wings from his back.
'I'm coming Raye'
He was then swallowed by the strange glow. His sight went blinded as he covered his eyes with his arm; stopping in mid air from flying.
~~~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~~~
Every time the light touched a guymelef, it was destroyed. The pilot would land on its own two feet when his machine was out of sight.
"Ah!" Guimel shrieked when he instead landed on his butt.
"What happening to our Guymelefs?" Gatty asked franticly when he saw his blue guymelef leave his sight.
But for some reason Escaflowne didn't disappear. It was put into a large crystal, holding it safe from any danger that could cause it.
When it reached the Zaibach Empire it all of a sudden vanished as it departed from all living people's eyes. When the light reached Fried's kingdom, Fanella's kingdom, Allan's city and the rest of the kingdoms Zaibach destroyed, they appeared again as if nothing happened.
After the whole light finished consuming the whole planet of Gaea it faded leisurely as the world was then turned back to normal.
~~~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~~~
The Sailor Princesses stopped glowing as they slowly opened their eyes. Their power soon disappeared as they turned back to their scout fuku form.
'Did it work?' Mercury asked herself as she looked around her surroundings.
Sailor Moon collapsed as she fainted.
"Serena!" Jupiter cried as she caught her before her head hit the hard dirt.
"Is she alright?" Mars asked as she ran to her fallen friend.
"Yeah, she's just exhausted from all the power" Jupiter answered as she finished checking for her pulse.
'I'm alive' Venus said to herself as she looked at her hands, seeing flesh.
When she had turned into Princess Venus she didn't have enough time to think about this. But she wasn't completely shocked. She and the other Sailor Scouts have died before and had returned to life again.
Sailor Moon finally opened her eyes as she looked up at the two Sailor Scouts.
"Lita. Raye." She whispered as she started to get her memory back.
"Mina!" She shrieked as she jumped out of the green scout's arms.
"I'm right her princess" Venus said as she turned to her moon friend.
"Mina!! I'm so glad you're alive!!"
Sailor Moon jumped up as she leaped to hug her friend. Venus smiled as she hugged her back.
"Serena!!"
Sailor Moon and the others jot their heads to the direction from the woods.
They saw Allan, Darien, Merle and Gadeth coming their way.
"Darien!" Sailor Moon yelled while her eyes filled with tears.
She was never good with happy occasions like this.
She ran to her beloved husband to be and lunged at him, hugging him to death.
"Serena, you're ok. When I saw the light from your Imperial Crystal I thought you'd die" Darien said, his voice muffled from the Princess's arms.
"I would have, if it wasn't for my friends" Sailor Moon said as she started to sob on his chest.
"Why are you crying?" Darien asked as he pulled her face away from him to see her features.
"Because I just love happy endings" Sailor Moon wept.
Darien smiled as Gadeth formed a sweat drop.
'Man, these girls get stranger every minute' floated in Gadeth's head.
"Lita, are you ok?" Allan asked when he reached the thunder goddess.
"Yeah I'm fine" Jupiter said.
At first they just stood looking at each other until Jupiter sprang at him giving him her tightest hug. This would have probably killed the blond knight if she didn't let go when he begged.
"Sorry" Jupiter said as she sweat dropped. Allan was panting for air as he held his chest heaving.
Venus and Mercury giggled at the scene.
"It's ok. It's kind of weird to have a girl stronger then me" Allen said when he finally controlled himself.
"Yeah" Jupiter smiled.
"Here, let me do the actions this time" Allan said as he moved closer to Jupiter and held her chin.
They kissed in front of everybody as "eeww" escaped the Dragon Slayer's lips. Venus turned around to see the blue armored boys behind the group. She had completely forgotten about them this whole time.
"Dude, get a room" Miguel said as he covered his eyes.
"Don't watch" Dellet said as he covered Shesta's eyes.
"Hey!" Shesta cried as he pulled the other boy's hands away.
Merle went up to Mars who was still on her hands and knees from helping Serena's fainting spell.
"Where's Van" Merle asked worriedly.
Mars looked around as she noticed the certain king's missing face.
"I don't know" Mars answered in the same tone of voice.
"Raye!!"
Mar's face lit up with joy the moment she heard the voice.
"Van!" Mars cried as a huge smile formed on her face.
Van was still flying with his wings as he flew to them at the clearing. Mars first gasped at the wings he had but soon forgot them when she was in his embrace.
"I'm so glad you're ok" Van said.
He then broke the hug as he leaned over and kissed Mars, not caring if anyone saw.
"Shit, not again" one of the Dragon Slayers said.
"Gross. How many times do this people have to do that?" Viole questioned.
"Man, why couldn't we have gotten the girls. Not these mangy bastards" Guimel complained.
"I heard that!!!" Jupiter, Allan, Sailor Moon, and Darien said as they faced him with evil stares.
"Whops," Guimel said softly as he shrank as small as a mouse while the four toward over him.
But Gatty wasn't into any of these conversations. He was already climbing to the top of the cliff to check on his leader.
"Lord Dilandau" He worriedly called when he reached the top
He saw Dilandau on his knees as he stared at his bloody hands. His eyes were still from shock and his body was shaking violently.
"Lord Dilandau?" Gatty asked as he slowly walked towards his commander.
Dilandau heard his soldier but did not answer. He saw Mina's blood still on his black gloved hand as he remembered the terrible crime he caused.
"Are you ok Lord Dilandau?" Gatty asked as he bent down, making the silver haired boy look at him.
"Gatty" Dilandau said, barely a whisper.
But he then turned back to his normal self. His back stiffened as his face carried the same scornful expression.
"Get away from me!!" he yelled as he slapped the blue armored boy.
Gatty landed hard on the dirt as he held his swollen red cheeks.
"Don't ever come close to me again you here?!!!"
Gatty nodded as Dilandau stood up with his blood-spattered sword.
'Fuck, what was that light?' Dilandau asked himself as he looked down from the hill.
He gasped when he saw Van with his wings.
"That boy's a draconian." Dilandau said out loud.
Allan, Mars, Jupiter were with his Dragon Slayers and Mercury and Gadeth were talking. He then spotted the blond goddess of love. To his surprise Venus was looking up at him. He stiffened for a second but he gained control of himself.
"Get the other wimps up here" Dilandau ordered Gatty as he turned to the still fallen boy.
"Y.yes Lord Dilandau" Gatty staggered as he quickly ran down the hill.
~~~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~~~
Venus saw Dilandau turn away from above her as her face went even somber. She sighed as she also turned away.
The group turned to Gatty who was running as fast as he could to reach his comrades.
"Dragon Slayers, report to Lord Dilandau on top of the hill" Gatty said as his other friends grabbed their sword and went up the hill.
Poor Gatty was panting that he couldn't reach the steep hill with the others on time. This caused him to receive another slap for being late. And plus Dilandau gave another slapping for all of the Dragon Slayers for hanging with their enemy.
"Now how are we going to get out of here?" Dilandau said after he gave each of his men their punishment.
'The Zaibach Empire is gone cause of that stupid annoying light'
Dilandau sneered as he remembered the scene. He couldn't see very well but he was sure the light destroyed his red guymelef, making it disappear.
"We will camp here tonight" a deep voice boomed behind him.
Dilandau turned around to gasp at the sight. Falken was behind him with black wings, making him able to hover above them all.
"Falken, w.what are you. I mean you're a draconian?"
Falken landed smoothly as he nodded.
"It appears that the Fanellan king has won. Zaibach's empire is dead and there are no more Guymelefs. The war is over" Falken finished as his wings soon returned into his flesh.
"We shall camp here tonight and tomorrow I want you all to go back to your homes."
The Dragon Slayers nodded at the tall man.
'Home. But where is it?' Dilandau asked himself questioningly as he saw his Dragon Slayers prepare camp.
~~~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~~~
"Can this be true? Fanella is still standing?" Van asked as he held the ravened haired girl in front of him.
Mars smiled as she nodded.
"Serena was able to return all the fallen kingdoms the Zaibach Empire destroyed. We had all the guymelefs and the Zaibach floating fortress destroyed but I made sure that Escaflowne was put to sleep for all eternity so that way you could stay safe."
Van embraced her as joy filled his heart.
"Thank you so much Raye" he whispered in her ears.
"We'll stay at Freid for the night. Tomorrow we will head to our own countries." Allan said.
Everyone agreed as they soon headed back to the palace. Venus gave one last glance back at the hill to see Dilandau watching them.
"Mina" Mercury called, making Venus circumvent her gaze as she ran after her friends.
The group reached the palace before dark approached.
"You guys are all ok!!" Millerna cried as she ran to them, Prince Chid not far behind.
Millerna and Chid went to greet them all.
"You guys did it. You saved my country. Thank you so much" Prince Chid said as he bowed to all of them.
"It was no problem your majesty. I told you we'd help" Jupiter said.
"Come in quick so you guys can rest. We'll hold a grand meal for your bravery" Millerna said to all of them, making Sailor Moon extremely happy.
"Let's go eat!!!!" She cried as she took hold of Darien's hand and pulled him with her as she ran inside the castle.
"Leave it to Serena to go crazy at the mention of food" Mercury said as she and her three other girl friends laughed lightly.
When the rest of the scouts were going to go in, a bright light was shown out of nowhere up in the sky.
"Ahhh, what is this?" Millerna cried as she blocked the light from her eyes.
A girl soon appeared in front of them, with two odangos on the top of her silver haired head.
The Inner Scouts gasped as Venus whispered "Queen Serenity."
"You're majesty" each scout bowed at their dead ruler of the moon.
Queen Serenity smiled at her soldiers.
"Where is my daughter Serena?" She asked Venus.
"She's umm. eating your majesty.
A sweat drop fell from the silver haired women's head as she smiled.
"I'm not surprise" she answered them.
"Your majesty, may I ask why you are here?" Mercury asked.
"I have come to tell you news. You have finally accomplished your mission here so now you may go back home."
"What?" the Sailor Scouts, Van, Merle, Millerna and Allan asked as they shot up in surprise.
Queen Serenity's face turned somber.
"I knew this would be bad news for you. I have been watching all of you from up above."
The queen eyed Mars and Jupiter as they both blushed.
"But I will give you the choice. You can stay here and make a new life, or you can go back home and return to your old life. You may choose. No one is stopping you. But you must make up your mind by tomorrow for that is when I will send the pillar of light to Gaea."
"Wait, so you mean you sent us here?" Venus asked.
"Yes. Luna and Artemis know about this also so no need to worry about them. They are waiting for your return."
"Yes your majesty. We shall think this over by tomorrow" Venus said as she and the scouts bowed again to say goodbye.
Queen Serenity smiled again as she soon took off into the sky.
"Princess Mina, tell Serena that I came and that I love her" the queen asked as she soon disappeared.
"I will" Venus said, no one in particular since the queen was gone.
"Leaving. tomorrow?"
The scouts turned to face Merle, who was starting to get teary.
Mars looked at Van as Jupiter looked at Allan. Both couples held the same expression. Worried and Sad.
~~~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~~
"What are you going to do Raye?" Van asked as he watched Raye pace the room.
"I don't know. If I stay here then my grandfather will worry way to much cause of my disappearance. And plus I need to help around the temple."
Van let out a sigh.
"But. if I go back then I'll miss you too much" Raye added as she stopped pacing ad went up to Van.
Van nodded as he understood. She couldn't make up her mind. Raye leaned over and kissed him as her head pondered on her thoughts.
~~~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~~~
Lita stared at Allan's solemn face. The moonlight from the balcony window shown on his face; making it light up.
"Allan, I have something to tell you" she began.
"I know Lita. You have to go back to your world. I understand" Allan answered, as if he knew what she was going to say.
But instead Lita just smiled and giggled lightly to herself. Allan stared at her with wonder in his eyes.
"What's so funny?" he asked as he held a confused look in his eyes.
"Oh Allan, I was going to say." she stopped as she tried to act more serious.
"I was going to say that I chose to stay here. with you."
Allan stared at her shocked for a moment, before a smile beamed on his face.
"Lita, I can't believe it" he said as he hugged the brown haired girl.
"There's nothing really special about my old life. If I return to it I know I'll be missing an opportunity to be happy with you." Lita explained.
"Thank you Lita" Allan said as he kissed her on the forehead. Their lips then met as they were lost in their kiss.
~~~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~~~
"WHAT?!! MY MOTHER WAS HERE?!!!" Serena asked; her screams made the table shack.
Amy sank in her seat in embarrassment as the whole court looked at them.
"Sorry" Serena said as she sank in her seat also.
"Yes Serena, your mother was here and we're going to go back to earth tomorrow. But we're given the choice to stay here if we wanted to." Amy said.
"Well we know were we want to go, right Serena?" Darien asked the pigtailed girl.
"Yup. We want to go back home. Darien and I planed it all out. Amy, we're getting married." Serena squealed as she waved the ring on her ring finger in front of the blue haired girl's face.
"Oh my god Serena, I'm so happy for you" Amy screeched as they both hugged each other.
They then jumped around screaming with delight.
"Uh. Serena, Amy?" Darien said as he was the next to sink in his seat.
The two girls stopped when they noticed that the whole room was watching them with sweat drops.
"Opposes." Serena and Amy said together as they crawled back to their chairs.
"You're going back with us right Amy?" Serena asked when the room stopped staring.
"Of course. I have no need to stay here. But Lita said that she was going to stay here with Allan."
"Oh, what about Mina and Raye?" Darien asked.
"Well. Raye isn't sure and Mina is planning to come back with us. Unless something happens. You do know what I mean right Serena?" Amy asked as she winked at the blond girl.
"OOOO, yeah, I get what you mean" Serena winked back.
"Huh?? Get what?" Darien asked as a question mark appeared on top of his head.
~~~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~~~
Mina could hear the Dragon Slayers on top of the cliff as they eat and talked.
'Mina, what are you doing?' Mina questioned herself.
She was planning to go tell Dilandau that she was leaving in the morning; hoping that he would stop her. She took a deep breath as she started to climb to the top.
'I hope you know what you're doing' she thought when she finally reached the summit.
She saw the tents all lined up as a great big camp fire lightened the darkness. She saw all the Dragon Slayers drinking and talking while they ate. She noticed a tall man standing at the edge of the cliff, staring at the stars. She saw Dilandau sitting on a chair as he yawned from boredom.
Mina took another deep breath to sooth the fast beating of her heart as she stood out of the shadows.
The Dragon Slayers noticed her immediately as they quieted down. Dilandau looked up as his face grew stun from her appearance.
"Dilandau. I need to talk to you" Mina tried to say calmly.
Dilandau's face grew somber as he leaned back in his chair.
"And what would that be?" his asked.
His voice sounded rusty, as if he hadn't talked in days.
"I'm leaving. tomorrow" she said stumbling.
She heard some of the Dragon Slayers "huh" each other and give a questioning face at her and their commander. They obviously didn't know about anything that have been going on between the two.
Dilandau first looked at her surprised but then went to his normal face.
"And you're telling me this because?" Dilandau asked mockingly as he raised an eyebrow.
Mina first stared at Dilandau's crimson eyes to get an answer. All she saw was emptiness. Taking a deep breath Mina turned and walked away, leaving confused Dragon Slayers and a heartless commander.
When Mina was out of sight Dilandau's face turned gloomy.
"Why don't you go after her?" a voice asked.
Dilandau turned his head to star at Falken, standing at the edge of the cliff.
"What are you talking about?" Dilandau acted irritated.
"Don't play dumb with me. I know all about you and that girl" Falken said, his back still faced the silver haired boy.
Dilandau griped the armrest of his chair as he blushed slightly.
'How the fuck could that bastard find out?' Dilandau asked himself.
~~~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~~~
Mina walked back to the palace as she entered. She headed to the dinning hall to fill her empty stomach. But for some reason the food didn't help her. Her heart was broken and she knew she would cry for days.
Mina quickly dashed out of the room, not wanting to be seen crying. She headed to her room as she close the door shut. After getting into her nightgown she jumped into her bed and cried her heart out.
'Why should I stay on Gaea? There's nothing for me here. Dilandau doesn't even care about me.'
Mina wept as her mind was doing the talking. She soon cried herself to sleep.
~~~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~~~
"Are you sure you want to stay here Lita?" Serena asked as she, Amy, and Lita were in their shared room.
Mina's body was covered with her blankets so they did not notice her crying in her sleep.
"Of course Serena. I'll love it here. I'll be with Allan and everything." Lita said cheerfully.
Serena gave her tall friend a bright smile.
"Sure Lita. If that's what you want. Who's there to stop you?" Serena said.
"Yeah. sorry I won't be able to be there on your wedding day Serena. I do wish I could go to it. But I'll be having a wedding myself" Lita said as she showed her two friends her ring.
"Oh my god Lita!!!" Serena squealed as she and her started to dance around the room.
"My, is it me or is everybody starting to get married?" Amy asked to no one in particular.
Just then the door opened, letting in Raye.
"What's the matter with you? Why so gloom?" Amy asked when she noticed her friend's expression.
Serena and Lita quickly stopped their dancing as their attention was on the raven haired girl.
"I. have decided to go with you guys" Raye said as she plopped on a bed next to Amy.
"What? What about Van?" Lita asked.
"I would do anything to stay with Van, believe me. But Grandpa needs my help at the temple. I can't just abandon by duties."
The three girls noticed her depressing tone.
"Okay Raye. Tomorrow Serena, Mina, Darien, me and you will head back to earth." Amy informed.
"And Lita will stay here on Gaea" Serena added.
"I hate you Lita. I wanted to stay here. If only there was a way" Raye said miserably.
"There is" a voice rang inside the room.
The four girls turned to their leader, who was asleep minutes ago.
~~~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~~~
OOO, what does Mina mean by there is a way Raye can stay with Van? And will she really go back home with Serena, Amy and Darien? What about Dilandau? Does he care about her or not? Hum. love is so complicated. Well. just to let you know, the next chapter is the last. So enjoy it Ok?

"I'm right her princess" Venus said as she turned to her moon friend.
"Mina!! I'm so glad you're alive!!"
Sailor Moon jumped up as she leaped to hug her friend. Venus smiled as she hugged her back.
"Serena!!"
Sailor Moon and the others jot their heads to the direction from the woods.
They saw Allan, Darien, Merle and Gadeth coming their way.
"Darien!" Sailor Moon yelled while her eyes filled with tears.
She was never good with happy occasions like this.
She ran to her beloved husband to be and lunged at him, hugging him to death.
"Serena, you're ok. When I saw the light from your Imperial Crystal I thought you'd die" Darien said, his voice muffled from the Princess's arms.
"I would have, if it wasn't for my friends" Sailor Moon said as she started to sob on his chest.
"Why are you crying?" Darien asked as he pulled her face away from him to see her features.

Darien smiled as Gadeth formed a sweat drop.
'Man, these girls get stranger every minute' floated in Gadeth's head.

"Don't watch" Dellet said as he covered Shesta's eyes.
"Hey!" Shesta cried as he pulled the other boy's hands away.
Merle went up to Mars who was still on her hands and knees from helping Serena's fainting spell.
"Where's Van" Merle asked worriedly.
Mars looked around as she noticed the certain king's missing face.
"I don't know" Mars answered in the same tone of voice.
"Raye!!"
Mar's face lit up with joy the moment she heard the voice.
"Van!" Mars cried as a huge smile formed on her face.
Van was still flying with his wings as he flew to them at the clearing. Mars first gasped at the wings he had but soon forgot them when she was in his embrace.
"I'm so glad you're ok" Van said.

"Get the other wimps up here" Dilandau ordered Gatty as he turned to the still fallen boy.
"Y.yes Lord Dilandau" Gatty staggered as he quickly ran down the hill.
~~~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~~~
Venus saw Dilandau turn away from above her as her face went even somber. She sighed as she also turned away.
The group turned to Gatty who was running as fast as he could to reach his comrades.

Poor Gatty was panting that he couldn't reach the steep hill with the others on time. This caused him to receive another slap for being late. And plus Dilandau gave another slapping for all of the Dragon Slayers for hanging with their enemy.

Dilandau turned around to gasp at the sight. Falken was behind him with black wings, making him able to hover above them all.
"Falken, w.what are you. I mean you're a draconian?"
Falken landed smoothly as he nodded.
"It appears that the Fanellan king has won. Zaibach's empire is dead and there are no more Guymelefs. The war is over" Falken finished as his wings soon returned into his flesh.
"We shall camp here tonight and tomorrow I want you all to go back to your homes."
The Dragon Slayers nodded at the tall man.
'Home. But where is it?' Dilandau asked himself questioningly as he saw his Dragon Slayers prepare camp.
~~~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~~~
"Can this be true? Fanella is still standing?" Van asked as he held the ravened haired girl in front of him.
Mars smiled as she nodded.
"Serena was able to return all the fallen kingdoms the Zaibach Empire destroyed. We had all the guymelefs and the Zaibach floating fortress destroyed but I made sure that Escaflowne was put to sleep for all eternity so that way you could stay safe."
Van embraced her as joy filled his heart.
"Thank you so much Raye" he whispered in her ears.
"We'll stay at Freid for the night. Tomorrow we will head to our own countries." Allan said.
Everyone agreed as they soon headed back to the palace. Venus gave one last glance back at the hill to see Dilandau watching them.
"Mina" Mercury called, making Venus circumvent her gaze as she ran after her friends.
The group reached the palace before dark approached.
"You guys are all ok!!" Millerna cried as she ran to them, Prince Chid not far behind.
Millerna and Chid went to greet them all.
"You guys did it. You saved my country. Thank you so much" Prince Chid said as he bowed to all of them.
"It was no problem your majesty. I told you we'd help" Jupiter said.
"Come in quick so you guys can rest. We'll hold a grand meal for your bravery" Millerna said to all of them, making Sailor Moon extremely happy.
"Let's go eat!!!!" She cried as she took hold of Darien's hand and pulled him with her as she ran inside the castle.
"Leave it to Serena to go crazy at the mention of food" Mercury said as she and her three other girl friends laughed lightly.
When the rest of the scouts were going to go in, a bright light was shown out of nowhere up in the sky.
"Ahhh, what is this?" Millerna cried as she blocked the light from her eyes.
A girl soon appeared in front of them, with two odangos on the top of her silver haired head.
The Inner Scouts gasped as Venus whispered "Queen Serenity."
"You're majesty" each scout bowed at their dead ruler of the moon.
Queen Serenity smiled at her soldiers.
"Where is my daughter Serena?" She asked Venus.
"She's umm. eating your majesty.
A sweat drop fell from the silver haired women's head as she smiled.
"I'm not surprise" she answered them.
"Your majesty, may I ask why you are here?" Mercury asked.
"I have come to tell you news. You have finally accomplished your mission here so now you may go back home."
"What?" the Sailor Scouts, Van, Merle, Millerna and Allan asked as they shot up in surprise.
Queen Serenity's face turned somber.
"I knew this would be bad news for you. I have been watching all of you from up above."
The queen eyed Mars and Jupiter as they both blushed.
"But I will give you the choice. You can stay here and make a new life, or you can go back home and return to your old life. You may choose. No one is stopping you. But you must make up your mind by tomorrow for that is when I will send the pillar of light to Gaea."
"Wait, so you mean you sent us here?" Venus asked.
"Yes. Luna and Artemis know about this also so no need to worry about them. They are waiting for your return."
"Yes your majesty. We shall think this over by tomorrow" Venus said as she and the scouts bowed again to say goodbye.
Queen Serenity smiled again as she soon took off into the sky.
"Princess Mina, tell Serena that I came and that I love her" the queen asked as she soon disappeared.
"I will" Venus said, no one in particular since the queen was gone.
"Leaving. tomorrow?"
The scouts turned to face Merle, who was starting to get teary.
Mars looked at Van as Jupiter looked at Allan. Both couples held the same expression. Worried and Sad.
~~~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~~
"What are you going to do Raye?" Van asked as he watched Raye pace the room.
"I don't know. If I stay here then my grandfather will worry way to much cause of my disappearance. And plus I need to help around the temple."
Van let out a sigh.
"But. if I go back then I'll miss you too much" Raye added as she stopped pacing ad went up to Van.
Van nodded as he understood. She couldn't make up her mind. Raye leaned over and kissed him as her head pondered on her thoughts.

Lita stared at Allan's solemn face. The moonlight from the balcony window shown on his face; making it light up.
"Allan, I have something to tell you" she began.
"I know Lita. You have to go back to your world. I understand" Allan answered, as if he knew what she was going to say.
But instead Lita just smiled and giggled lightly to herself. Allan stared at her with wonder in his eyes.
"What's so funny?" he asked as he held a confused look in his eyes.
"Oh Allan, I was going to say." she stopped as she tried to act more serious.
"I was going to say that I chose to stay here. with you."
Allan stared at her shocked for a moment, before a smile beamed on his face.
"Lita, I can't believe it" he said as he hugged the brown haired girl.
"There's nothing really special about my old life. If I return to it I know I'll be missing an opportunity to be happy with you." Lita explained.
"Thank you Lita" Allan said as he kissed her on the forehead. Their lips then met as they were lost in their kiss.

"WHAT?!! MY MOTHER WAS HERE?!!!" Serena asked; her screams made the table shack.
Amy sank in her seat in embarrassment as the whole court looked at them.
"Sorry" Serena said as she sank in her seat also.
"Yes Serena, your mother was here and we're going to go back to earth tomorrow. But we're given the choice to stay here if we wanted to." Amy said.
"Well we know were we want to go, right Serena?" Darien asked the pigtailed girl.
"Yup. We want to go back home. Darien and I planed it all out. Amy, we're getting married." Serena squealed as she waved the ring on her ring finger in front of the blue haired girl's face.
"Oh my god Serena, I'm so happy for you" Amy screeched as they both hugged each other.
They then jumped around screaming with delight.
"Uh. Serena, Amy?" Darien said as he was the next to sink in his seat.
The two girls stopped when they noticed that the whole room was watching them with sweat drops.
"Opposes." Serena and Amy said together as they crawled back to their chairs.
"You're going back with us right Amy?" Serena asked when the room stopped staring.
"Of course. I have no need to stay here. But Lita said that she was going to stay here with Allan."
"Oh, what about Mina and Raye?" Darien asked.
"Well. Raye isn't sure and Mina is planning to come back with us. Unless something happens. You do know what I mean right Serena?" Amy asked as she winked at the blond girl.
"OOOO, yeah, I get what you mean" Serena winked back.
"Huh?? Get what?" Darien asked as a question mark appeared on top of his head.
~~~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~~~
Mina could hear the Dragon Slayers on top of the cliff as they eat and talked.
'Mina, what are you doing?' Mina questioned herself.
She was planning to go tell Dilandau that she was leaving in the morning; hoping that he would stop her. She took a deep breath as she started to climb to the top.
'I hope you know what you're doing' she thought when she finally reached the summit.
She saw the tents all lined up as a great big camp fire lightened the darkness. She saw all the Dragon Slayers drinking and talking while they ate. She noticed a tall man standing at the edge of the cliff, staring at the stars. She saw Dilandau sitting on a chair as he yawned from boredom.
Mina took another deep breath to sooth the fast beating of her heart as she stood out of the shadows.
The Dragon Slayers noticed her immediately as they quieted down. Dilandau looked up as his face grew stun from her appearance.
"Dilandau. I need to talk to you" Mina tried to say calmly.
Dilandau's face grew somber as he leaned back in his chair.
"And what would that be?" his asked.
His voice sounded rusty, as if he hadn't talked in days.
"I'm leaving. tomorrow" she said stumbling.
She heard some of the Dragon Slayers "huh" each other and give a questioning face at her and their commander. They obviously didn't know about anything that have been going on between the two.
Dilandau first looked at her surprised but then went to his normal face.
"And you're telling me this because?" Dilandau asked mockingly as he raised an eyebrow.
Mina first stared at Dilandau's crimson eyes to get an answer. All she saw was emptiness. Taking a deep breath Mina turned and walked away, leaving confused Dragon Slayers and a heartless commander.
When Mina was out of sight Dilandau's face turned gloomy.
"Why don't you go after her?" a voice asked.
Dilandau turned his head to star at Falken, standing at the edge of the cliff.
"What are you talking about?" Dilandau acted irritated.
"Don't play dumb with me. I know all about you and that girl" Falken said, his back still faced the silver haired boy.
Dilandau griped the armrest of his chair as he blushed slightly.
'How the fuck could that bastard find out?' Dilandau asked himself.
~~~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~~~
Mina walked back to the palace as she entered. She headed to the dinning hall to fill her empty stomach. But for some reason the food didn't help her. Her heart was broken and she knew she would cry for days.
Mina quickly dashed out of the room, not wanting to be seen crying. She headed to her room as she close the door shut. After getting into her nightgown she jumped into her bed and cried her heart out.
'Why should I stay on Gaea? There's nothing for me here. Dilandau doesn't even care about me.'
Mina wept as her mind was doing the talking. She soon cried herself to sleep.
~~~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~~~
"Are you sure you want to stay here Lita?" Serena asked as she, Amy, and Lita were in their shared room.
Mina's body was covered with her blankets so they did not notice her crying in her sleep.
"Of course Serena. I'll love it here. I'll be with Allan and everything." Lita said cheerfully.
Serena gave her tall friend a bright smile.
"Sure Lita. If that's what you want. Who's there to stop you?" Serena said.
"Yeah. sorry I won't be able to be there on your wedding day Serena. I do wish I could go to it. But I'll be having a wedding myself" Lita said as she showed her two friends her ring.
"Oh my god Lita!!!" Serena squealed as she and her started to dance around the room.
"My, is it me or is everybody starting to get married?" Amy asked to no one in particular.
Just then the door opened, letting in Raye.
"What's the matter with you? Why so gloom?" Amy asked when she noticed her friend's expression.
Serena and Lita quickly stopped their dancing as their attention was on the raven haired girl.
"I. have decided to go with you guys" Raye said as she plopped on a bed next to Amy.
"What? What about Van?" Lita asked.
"I would do anything to stay with Van, believe me. But Grandpa needs my help at the temple. I can't just abandon by duties."
The three girls noticed her depressing tone.
"Okay Raye. Tomorrow Serena, Mina, Darien, me and you will head back to earth." Amy informed.
"And Lita will stay here on Gaea" Serena added.
"I hate you Lita. I wanted to stay here. If only there was a way" Raye said miserably.
"There is" a voice rang inside the room.
The four girls turned to their leader, who was asleep minutes ago.
~~~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~~~
OOO, what does Mina mean by there is a way Raye can stay with Van? And will she really go back home with Serena, Amy and Darien? What about Dilandau? Does he care about her or not? Hum. love is so complicated. Well. just to let you know, the next chapter is the last. So enjoy it Ok?
