Welcome to the wonderful world of Gundam Wing/ Sailor Moon fanfiction. I am your host JupLuna, and here today is my special guest, Duo Maxwell.
Duo: Umm, Juppster…are you feeling alright?
JL: Why of course I am Mr. Maxwell.
Duo: ::looks scared:: Mr. Maxwell?
Trowa: She's done it again hasn't she.
Duo: Done what again?
Trowa: She's writing a story while taking pain medication. This should be interesting.
Duo: Oh, okay, I understand now.
JL: Gentlemen welcome to the show.
Trowa: -_\\\;;;
Duo: Eh…yeah, what he said.
Wufei: ::walks in:: Heero says that someone needs to put her to bed and write the chapter for her. ::walks away::
Trowa: ::looks at Duo::
Duo: ::looks at Trowa:: Odds or Evens?
Trowa: I'll take odds.
::both guys put their hands out and shake their fists three times before putting out fingers::
Trowa: Duo…you shouldn't put out your middle finger.
Duo: Well, I lost…shouldn't I be able to flip you the bird?
Trowa: -_\\\;;; ::walks away with JupLuna::
Duo: Ok…um…disclaimer first right? Yeah, ok. Both shows don't belong to either of them, um…just the story does. Ok…I guess that's it. On with the show as Juppy says.
Last Time
Duo clenched his fists, Heero clenched his as well. "Are you crazy?! Makoto took you out with a single blow before. She's so much stronger."
Heero nodded. "He's right."
Saturn pursed her lips. "I have another form other than this, gentlemen." With that, she disappeared.
Duo looked at Heero. "What do you think she's going to do?"
Heero pounding the wall while saying, "I have no fucken clue!"
Now
Ami walked in the room to find Heero and Duo staring at the bed. "She left didn't she?" She asked quietly.
Duo nodded slowly. "Yup."
"Can you take us back there?" Heero asked looking to his hand.
"Not at the moment. Transporting you all here by myself was very tiring on my part." Ami said. "Hotaru may have gone off by herself, but I doubt she's gone straight away to confront Makoto. Even she has more patience than that. If anything she's probably just gone off somewhere to rest and think. I seriously doubt she has the energy to get to the Negaverse. It's very tiring, traveling like that. If she hasn't come back in a few hours we'll go after her. Until then, I'm going to try to get in touch with Setsuna. Something strange is going on." She commented before walking out.
Heero looked back at the door and then looked to Duo. "I want answers myself. The story that Hotoru told about her past was not the story that she had told me the first time." With that Heero walked out of the room.
Duo looked out the window and sighed. He missed Makoto's smile. Perhaps Setsuna could tell him how he could save her.
Wufei had been sitting on the couch reading when he felt a slight breeze. Looking up he saw Setsuna sitting in a chair opposite him.
"I guess I should mark my place. You have a tendency to give bad news when you look like that." He said putting his book down. The others walked in.
"Do you somehow plan this?" Quatre asked looking at everyone walking in at the same time.
"Actually I do." Setsuna smiled sadly. "I know you all have questions, but I am going to wait until Hotoru returns to explain. She'll be back soon." Setsuna said.
With that Hotoru manifested on the couch next to Wufei. "You blocked me from teleporting didn't you?" She asked angered.
"Yes, only to explain things to you. The dream you had was not your own. It's hard to explain. You see, the scouts weren't always who they are today. Through the beginning of time you were all born numerous times. Before the Silver Alliance and the Silver Millennium were even being considered you scouts had lived hundreds of lives. That was Fate's way to make sure you were capable of holding the power you hold today. Hotoru, you were in fact evil in one of these past lives, but that does not make you evil now. You were given that life to ensure that you would be able to survive the possession of Mistress 9, in your final form. As I said it's very complicated. In your dream you saw Duo as your brother. That is both true and false. All of you pilots were at some point a brother to one of the scouts. Granted it was not in this lifetime, but in one previous to the Silver Millennium. Duo was the brother of Saturn when she was evil. He was also brother to Venus in one of her life times. Heero, you were brother to Mercury in one of her life times and a brother of Uranus in another. Wufei, you had been a brother of Mars, and a brother of Pluto. Quatre, you had been a brother of Moon, and a brother of Neptune. Trowa had already been a brother of Jupiter. How he was reborn as her brother for a second time, especially in her final form is a mystery to both Fate and myself. When I say your final form, I speak of the personality and memories that the scouts have now. No matter how many times you may be reborn from this time on, you will always be who you are now. Again, this is complicated and hard to understand if you are not used to being able to see time itself. So Hotoru, do not think that what has happened is your fault. You are not evil, nor are you responsible for what Makoto is going through. That was Fate's fault entirely. It is possible that she was attempting to stop the dream that you had, and you had picked up on her thoughts in the process." Setsuna said calmly.
Hotaru did not look convinced. Heero placed him hands on her shoulders.
"Getting off topic for a moment, but why were we born in your past?" Quatre asked.
"To prepare yourselves to handle your gundams. Though it was not just the girls past and world you were reborn in, but this one as well. I am the protector of the time in these two worlds for a reason." Setsuna stood slowly. "Now that you understand the dream, and the strangeness of it, it is time to figure out a way to save Koto-chan. It will be hard, and as Saturn stated, she has another form that she must transform into in order to stand a chance at all. Mercury will also have to call upon her newer powers of the Monoceros." Setsuna said calmly.
The group went their separate ways. Hotoru had notice how depressed Duo had seemed, but he kept his ever-present smile plastered on his face. She placed a hand on his shoulder and smiled. "We'll find a way to get her back." She told him seriously. He just nodded.
After the room was emptied, Duo walked slowly back into it. Setsuna smiled slightly at him before motioning him forward. "I know you want to save her Duo. I know you love her, and somewhere in Sincerity lurks Makoto's humanity, and she still loves you as well. I can send you to her, but you must know that after you are sent to the Negaverse I can no longer protect you. I no longer can see the immediate future of either world, so I don't know what is to come for any of us. I don't wish to see you hurt, but I will grant you one request, if you will grant me one as well." Setsuna told him.
"You know what I want, what do you want in return?" Duo said seriously. He had already decided that he was going to go back to Makoto.
"I know that you will be given a choice. I just want you to choose with your heart. That will be the only way that anything will be resolved." Setsuna answered.
Duo just nodded. He didn't want to think about any other choices, he just wanted to try to get Makoto back.
Setsuna held out a small onyx marble. "This will allow you to travel to the Negaverse. Once you get there it will absorb into your body and give you a bit of information that will be useful, as where certain rooms are, and how to act around certain people. You will be clothed in the same uniform you had been in previously. Know now that Sincerity is looking for you, so as soon as you get there you should go to her." She explained.
He nodded once more taking the marble. "Thank you." He said quietly before disappearing.
Ami walked in slowly. "Where did Duo go?" She asked.
"To fulfil his destiny." Setsuna said sadly. "What ever he may choose."
Makoto sat on the couch like thrown and looked off into the distance. She had been Queen for only a mere hour and she had already been forced to kill two more generals. It seemed that Devin did have a few people that would miss him. "I can't be bothered by that now." She said aloud. She summoned one of the guards to her.
"Yes ma'am?" He asked seriously.
"There was a young general I spoke with today. I wish his presence but I do not know his name. He has violet eyes and long brown hair in a braid. Send a few of the soldiers out to look for him." Makoto said calmly.
"There is no need for that, Sincerity." Came a voice from the door. Duo walked in slowly. He knew he could show no fear and no amazement in the room.
"Excellent, guards, leave us be." She said waving her hand.
The guards all filed out leaving Makoto who was now fully in her Sincerity role, and Duo by themselves.
"You wanted to see me?" Duo asked. "She looks just like I last saw her. Makoto I swear I will get you back." He thought to himself.
"Yes, as my father is now dead, I am in charge. I need a capable second in command, and I wish you to be that person." Makoto as Sincerity said.
"I'm honored." Duo said a little shocked. "Was that the choice Setsuna had warned me about? That seems like an order not a choice." He questioned himself.
"By taking on this position you are bound to me for all eternity." Sincerity said coyly.
Duo froze. "Is she saying what I think she is?" He thought. He looked into her eyes to find soft emerald orbs looking back at him. He looked into those eyes and found not that harshness of Sincerity, but the love of Makoto. He saw that on the inside she was scared and didn't want to have to do this alone. It was as if they had a conversation through sight alone. Makoto was serious about Sincerity's choice, just as if she herself had said it. Makoto almost pleaded with him to accept so that she would not be alone anymore. How could he say no to her? His heart was pulling him in her direction. "So this is what Setsuna meant. Though if I bind myself to Sincerity, I will have to fight against my friends, but who am I to leave Makoto alone to go through this by herself. I made a promise when I said I loved her, that I would not treat her as all the others in her life have, and I never lie. I will not let good or evil separate me from the person I love." He thought.
"That will mean that you would be mine, my mate if you will." Sincerity said calmly.
"I except then." Duo said bowing.
Sincerity smiled, but not quite in a heavenly manner, yet her eyes were full of joy and inside of the evil shell, Makoto cried happily. Sincerity would never kill her off, as long as she and Duo were together, even if that meant having to go against the ones she loved, she could do anything as long as Duo was with her.
"YOU DID WHAT!" Hotaru yelled at the woman in front of her.
"I sent Duo to the Negaverse." Setsuna said calmly.
"How could you do that?" Ami asked bewildered.
"It was a part of their destinies. I am a servant of Fate, and she willed it to be done. Duo made the choice to go on his own." Setsuna explained.
"What is Sincerity kills him?" Heero asked almost concerned.
Setsuna sighed. "That was always a possibility. If he chose one choice, he would be killed by Sincerity, if he took the other path, he would not. I don't know what he chose."
"So are we aloud to go save them now?" Hotaru asked annoyed.
"Yes, but only you four may go." She said pointing to Hotaru, Ami, Trowa, and Heero. "Wufei and Quatre will come back to the other dimension with me. If things do not go smoothly and as Fate has hoped they will, I will send the other senshi and Wufei and Quatre to help you. I will say that the silver crystal is not strong enough to heal Makoto. The only way that she will be healed is to turn into Draco or be reborn and the only way for her to be reborn is for her to be killed."
Everyone grew silent. Makoto was strong, but everyone knew, especially Hotoru, Quatre, and Heero, that having split personalities or brainwashing would be very hard to over come.
"Hopefully Duo can break through some of the brainwashing and get to Makoto. She's the only one able to call on Sailor Jupiter and Draco's powers." Setsuna stated.
"We'll get her back." Trowa said seriously. "It may have been a mistake that she ended up my sister, but I am not going to give her up now."
Ami gave him a hug. "We'll get her back. Don't worry." She blushed as she realized what she was doing and was about to pull away, when Trowa put his hand on her arm and held her there. He smiled at her and nodded.
Heero put his arms around Hotaru's shoulders. The others looked at him surprised. Hotaru blushed slightly and looked up at everyone. "Stop starring. You're acting like you've never seen a person get hugged before." She said with mock annoyance.
The others giggled slightly and looked away.
"I think it's time for us to go our separate ways." Ami said.
"Agreed." Heero nodded.
"Take care." Quatre said looking to the two couples. "Come back to us safe and sound."
"Tell that osage báka that he better not do anything stupid, like get himself killed." Wufei said angered. "That's my job." He smiled ever so slightly.
"This is where we say goodbye, and good luck." Setsuna said.
"Not goodbye. You say goodbye to someone you'll never see again." Trowa started. "I learned to live for a future, and I plan on having you as my friends in it."
"Then, we shall see you soon." Quatre said happy for Trowa that he had learned to live.
Hotaru and Ami glowed in their respective color, and the four of them disappeared.
Setsuna smiled before a hole opened behind her and she aloud Wufei and Quatre to step through. "It has begun."
"So where the hell do we start looking?" Saturn asked. She and Ami had transformed automatically while teleporting. Trowa and Heero seemed to have lightweight armor on.
Heero took out his gun to see that it had morphed. Trowa's looked very similar.
"Normal bullets can't stop youma and Negaverse generals. It seems that Setsuna has changed your weapons in order to allow you to help us." Mercury stated.
"We should go." Trowa said looking around the halls that they were standing in.
The group started running down the halls. "I'm patched into some of their data and found that time here passes much quicker than in our world. In our world Duo has only been gone for a few hours. Duo has been here for almost three days." Mercury said looking to her computer.
"Anything could have happened to him in that time." Heero said trying to remember where the thrown room was.
They turned a corner and found themselves in front of two large silver doors.
"The doors are made of pure hematite." Mercury said.
"Too bad we have to crash through them." Saturn said. She raised her glaive and sliced through the doors.
The room had changed in three days. The long couch had been replaced with Beryl's thrown. Sincerity sat on the thrown sideways with her legs dangling off the arms.
"I'm so glad you could make it. I had wanted to kill off Pluto and Moon first, but I guess you two will do." She said laughing.
"Makoto snap out of it." Saturn yelled.
"I am not Makoto. She is buried so deeply that no one can get to her. She is no more." Sincerity said.
"I don't believe you." Heero said pulling out his gun.
"Tisk tisk, spandex boy, pulling a gun on an unarmed lady. That's just uncivilized. And here I was going to ask you and Devotion to join me one last time before I killed you. Now I'll have to have you killed." Sincerity laughed once more.
"Makoto…Sincerity…why do you have to follow in their foot steps? Why can't you just be and do what you want to do instead of seeking revenge?" Trowa asked.
"Because I am who I am. The Makoto you knew and loved would have agreed with you, but I am not her. I am the daughter of Beryl and Metalia. I am the only one that can seek revenge for them." She yelled.
"Makoto we don't want to hurt you, but we will kill you if we have to." Saturn told her.
"Very well then, but before the battle continues, I'd like to introduce you to my top general, and my husband." Sincerity said wickedly.
The group looked surprised at what she had said. They saw a figure with what looked to be a long gleaming sword walking from the shadows, but all to soon they knew exactly who it was.
"DUO!" Saturn and Heero yelled.
Duo stood before them, dressed in an all black suit with light armor. In his right hand he held a long gleaming scythe and in his left he now held Sincerity's hand. He looked to his friends sadly. "I can't allow you to harm her." He said softly. "She may be Sincerity, but Makoto is still alive in her, and I can't allow you to kill Makoto. I love her too much."
Saturn looked to him sadly, as the others stood shocked. They had thought that something may have been going on with Duo and Makoto, but for Duo to marry Sincerity just because she was Makoto, it must have been more then they had even imagined.
"Duo, you can't fight us. We're your friends." Mercury said.
"I have no choice. I can't allow you to harm her." Duo said raising the scythe.
Trowa and Heero just nodded. That was why they had been aloud to come in the first place. They would deal with Duo, as the senshi dealt with Sincerity.
"I've been waiting a long time for this Duo." Heero said.
"So have I." Duo said sadly.
Duo ran out to attack them. Trowa and Heero pushed the fight into a corner so the girls would have room.
Mercury glowed a golden color. "It is my job to protect the solar system and the elements of the senshi. I do not want to have to fight you, but you leave me no choice. Monoceros Kesu!" She yelled. Mercury was once more covered in golden stars. When they faded she was in a dark blue suit and held a double-ended spear in her hands. "As a celestial guardian it is my duty to heal you, or destroy you. Do not make this end in death." Mercury now as Monoceros commanded.
"The only death will be yours." Sincerity said as she gathered power.
"No so fast evil queen bitch. I may not be a celestial guardian like Makoto and Ami, but I have enough power to put up one hell of a fight." Saturn said.
"I don't want to fight you." Duo said as he blocked Trowa's kick.
"Then help us to get Makoto back." Heero said throwing a quick punch.
"Don't you think I've tried?" Duo yelled. "I've been here for 3 days. I've been able to talk with Makoto. She doesn't want to be alone, and I won't leave her to be killed. She's not strong enough to break through Sincerity's personality."
"There must be a way." Trowa said pulling back.
"Makoto's powers are drawn on emotions." Heero said.
Duo stopped and looked at the powerful women as they gathered energy. Heero took this time to pull out his gun. Without a second to loose, he shot Duo in the chest.
The sound rang through the room. Monoceros and Saturn looked to the guys in surprise. Sincerity looked torn. She was caught in a bright green light. When it faded Sincerity stood there and looked more evil if that were possible. A glowing woman walked toward the guys. It was Makoto's life force. She bent down next to Duo and put his head on her lap.
"Mako-chan?" Duo asked weakly.
The figure nodded. "What am I going to do with you?" Makoto spoke with a smile. "You can't keep yourself out of trouble can you."
"I'm sorry Mako-chan." Duo said with a tear running down his cheek.
"Shh, don't talk Duo. You saved me, my love." She smiled softly.
"But you still lost your life because of it." Duo said softly.
"I am not dead and you are not dying. I will not allow it to happen." Makoto smiled. She bent down and kissed Duo. He was filled with a green light. The gunshot disappeared and he looked to have been healed.
He opened his eyes and smiled at her. "Are we still married?" He asked joking.
Makoto laughed. "We'll talk about that when we get home. I have an evil psycho bitch to destroy." She stood and looked more like a solid human figure than a bodiless spirit.
She walked back over to the other scouts, changing into Sailor Jupiter as she walked.
"You have turned me against my friends. You were willing to kill my family all for petty revenge. I can not stand by and watch you gain any more power. Draco Kesu!" Jupiter yelled. Golden stars surrounded her and when they were gone, Makoto stood in a green suit holding a long glowing katana.
"I may not be a celestial guardian like Makoto and Ami, but I have enough power to put up one hell of a fight." Saturn said. She started to glow purple.
"Change for all I care. Transform to your hearts content, but know this. With Makoto fully out of this body I have gained all of the powers that her "good heart" had held in check. Also remember that this body IS her true body and that if you destroy it you will destroy her as well." Sincerity said.
"We'll see, Negaverse bitch." Saturn said before the whole room erupted into purple.
Duo: Not bad if I do say so, at least not for my first chapter.
JL: O_O Duo, what have you done to my story?
Duo: What, you don't like it?
JL: I think your death scene was a bit much.
Duo: Aww, and that was my favorite part.
Heero: I happened to like the part that I shot you.
Duo: -_-;;; You would.
JL: Well…that was Duo's chapter. It looks like we should only have about 2 or so more chapters of this story left. I hope Kawaii-chan doesn't mind that she gets to write the final battle, but I don't think she will. I have a feeling Saturn is about to kick some major Nega ass.
Duo: Alright…fighting. ^_^
JL: -_-;; báka. Anyway…review and stroke Duo's ego. As if his head isn't big enough already.
Duo: HEY! Oh well…as Juppy says, flames don't hurt pyromaniacs…they just make us happy.
