Chapter 3 - Golden Death

"You are so naïve Usako," Mamoru said, not showing any emotion on his face, unlike the smirking woman that stood beside him. "Did you really think I could love an airhead like you?" Usagi felt her eyes burning as they filled with tears that she refused to shed. She was aware of Juunanagou's presence beside her and could feel his hand on her shoulder.

"Demo... Mamo-chan... How could you say that? After everything we went through?" Usagi asked, the tears continuing to well. She blinked sharply, letting the tears slide silently down her cheeks, making her cheeks begin to puff up.

"Usako, you don't know anything," Mamoru said smiling slightly at her. Not really smirking, but smiling rather pleasantly. "You're just a child, you know nothing of love. You didn't during the Moon Kingdom and you do not now."

"Demo Mamo-chan... I do know love and..." she paused as loud sobs escaped her throat. "Aishiteru!!" she shrieked as she ran toward him.

"Don't be a fool Usa-chan!" Juunanagou shouted, grabbing the blond girl from behind and pulling her into a tight embrace, pinning her arms to her side. "Never plunge into battle if you don't know your opponent's abilities."

"Please Juu-chan..." Usagi said, tears still streaming down her face. "What did I do to deserve this?" she begged, her pleading eyes burning into his. Those twin pools of blue looked so haunted at that moment, so void of the normal sparkle he had seen earlier. They were filled with something else... pain and fear as well as the sting of betrayal... the one she loved had betrayed her, leaving her to be with the enemy.

"You didn't do anything, Usako... you were a nice kid, demo, not anyone I could see myself marrying. You were always rather childish and your grades were terrible." Mamoru said with no emotion in his voice.

"You heard it pathetic princess, now, what will become of you?" Nehelenia asked, scratching her chin, "I can't trap you again, that was just a waste of time and energy... so, how do you want to die?" Nehelenia asked as a blade appeared in her hand.

"You'll have to go through me first." Juunanagou said calmly as he forced Usagi behind him. Why was he protecting her anyway? She was just a human... how could she stir such feelings inside of him? He was an android, his programming didn't leave room for such a feeling, he's a machine... his humanity was lost long ago... he can never regain it... Still, he stood his ground, placing himself between Usagi and Nehelenia.

"You are a fool if you try to protect that pathetic girl. Nothing can match the power of the Dead Moon." Nehelenia said, still smirking.

"That is where you are wrong," Juunanagou said calmly as he took a step toward her, keeping his eye on the dark-haired man called Mamoru. "You should never underestimate your opponent; it could be deadly for you."

"Juu-chan, please don't..." she pleaded, reaching for his arm. Her hand touched his arm but he pulled away, keeping his eyes locked on the woman and the man that stood before him.

"If they are ready to fight, I'll fight them," Juunanagou said smirking slightly. "Besides, I can't just let them kill you now can I?" he asked, glancing back at her. She smiled weakly but the tears still sparkled on her cheeks and the twinkle in her deep expressive eyes was gone... gone was the carefree girl that he had released from that crystal... the girl that he had found on the beach... In her place was an empty shell that seemed to be fighting against the cracking that it caused when she was dropped so cruelly and carelessly. How could that guy do such a thing? Why did he care? She's just another human girl... another human that would express the same human feelings and act exactly the same as the rest... There was nothing really special about her... He kept trying to tell himself there was nothing special about her, but he couldn't help but think about it. She was different than most humans that much he was sure about. Was this the feeling his sister felt about that bald human Krillin. He just didn't know anymore... so much had happened, so much happened but he couldn't explain or comprehend it.

"I'm not afraid of you," Nehelenia said calmly, still smirking confidently.

"You shouldn't be so confident; you know nothing of my abilities to fight." Juunanagou said calmly, smirking slightly. He pushed a stray strand of black hair from his face, tucking it loosely behind his ear.

"Well we'll just see if my confidence is justified after I kill you," Nehelenia growled as a crystal appeared in her hand. It was a golden crystal and was glowing very dimly. "Do you remember this, Serenity-hime?" Usagi's mouth dropped as she recognized the gem in her hand in an instant.

"Helios..." she whispered, picturing the winged horse... the guardian of dreams. "What did you do to him?!? Where is he?!?" she demanded, her eyes widening in concern. A bitter laugh escaped from Nehelenia as she thought back to the young guardian.

"Last I knew... he was in his dream world demo... he didn't look too good," She said smirking evilly, "And that was years ago that I left him to die... I'm sure by now, he's gone and there's nothing you can do to return him. His dreams are dead, as is his body."

"You're lying..." Usagi whispered, suddenly feeling fear creep into her heart, "I refuse to believe that is true..."

"How would you explain it then?" Nehelenia asked, smirking deeply at Usagi and the dark-haired man that still stood in front of her, his eyes narrowed angrily. "How did I get the crystal foolish Serenity? Just think about it, the crystal was in the possession of that foolish boy. Do you think he would give it to me willingly?"

"Iie..." she whispered her face dropping.

"Are you ready to fight yet?" Juunanagou asked calmly, crossing his arms over his chest.

"Hai, demo, I'm warning you, boy. You don't stand a chance against the TRUE Queen of the Moon." Nehelenia said confidently.

"I heard your warning and it doesn't intimidate me one bit, lets just get this battle over with already," Juunanagou said calmly, he turned and looked at Usagi, the smirk disappearing, replaced with the normal expressionless look that she had grown to know in their short time together... "Usa-chan, keep an eye on that man, my sensors are picking up something strange from him. Don't let your guard down."

"H... hai..." she said, the tears slowly streaking down her face. Juunanagou reached up a hand, gently wiping a tear from her eye, a strange light in his eyes that Usagi had never seen before. "Please be careful Juu-chan..." he nodded his head and turned back to Nehelenia.

Why was she worried about him? He could take care of himself; he was one of the strongest fighters on earth besides the Saiyajins of course... He was constantly reminded of that but it didn't bother him anymore... He just didn't care about being strong anymore... probably because he knew he'd never be stronger than Goku or Vegeta or any of them. Demo why was she the one that worried him? She was the one that seemed like she needed to be protected... she looked like she was lost at that moment when he glanced over at her and that strange feeling he got when she was around returned to him, making an anger inside of him appear... Anger and hatred toward the couple before him, these people would pay for making Usagi cry... Why was he getting like this? Everything he thought about had to do with Usagi... He just wanted a good fight that's all... A good fight, it had been so long since he'd actually fought someone... so long since he had actually let himself loose in battle, not caring of the people he hurt or the pain they inflicted on him. Androids didn't feel pain, at least... not the same way humans did. Physical pain did not faze him as much as the strange feelings appearing... they appeared the moment Usagi appeared... He didn't know how to explain them... he didn't want to; he just wanted to protect her... NO! He just wanted a good fight!! That's all he cared about!!

That's all he was programmed to do!! He was programmed to fight and nothing more!! He wasn't programmed to have feelings; they did nothing in a good battle except cloud your judgment and make you give into your frustration. That's when you made the enemy begin to make mistakes, when the rage and hatred blinds their vision it leaves them vulnerable, which is exactly why they were programmed that way... To never make a mistake in a blind rage... To never lose yourself because of a pretty face... that's the way a true warrior fought.

"Will this battle ever begin?" Nehelenia asked, looking impatiently over at Juunanagou. "Or have you decided you're too afraid to fight me?" The smirk returned to his face as he turned back to the woman, his sensors not picking up very much ki from her... demo, she might be hiding her power as the Z-Senshi had always done.

"As you command," Juunanagou said disappearing. A moment later, her reappeared in front of Nehelenia holding his hand up, palm out, inches away from Nehelenia. "Let's see if you can survive this for starters," Juunanagou said, smirking as he released a rather large ki blast straight at her. He saw the smirk spread across his face and before he knew it, the blast was heading straight back at him. Having amazing reflexes, he swatted that attack away, watching as it disappeared over the horizon, a sudden flash as it connected with the ocean. "Not bad... demo, you still haven't a chance against me."

"We'll see." she said, still smirking confidently, a low chuckle escaping her throat. The crystal began to glow and Usagi took a step back in horror as the golden energy was streaked with black lightening-like energy.

"Iie..." Usagi whispered as she started toward the smirking Juunanagou. "Juu-chan, I have to get that crystal back..." she whispered, fear in her voice.

"Very well Usa-chan..." he said calmly as he disappeared. Usagi searched around her, not knowing where the dark-haired android had gone

"Juu-chan?" she questioned, her eyes searching for him. A few minutes later, he appeared in front of a baffled Nehelenia and snatched the dark crystal from her hand. Usagi's mouth dropped in shock as she saw him take the crystal from her hands so easily. "N... nani?" she whispered, her mouth hanging open when Juunanagou appeared in front of her and placed the crystal in her open hands. "H... how did you do that?" she asked in shock.

"Practice." he said smiling slightly.

"Can you teach me that?" she asked, her eyes still the size of saucers.

"Maybe..." he said calmly, the corner of his mouth curving into that same small smile that looked more like a smirk than anything.

"Mamo-chan!" Nehelenia cried, turning her attention to the silent man that stood behind her.

"Hai aino-chan?" he asked, looking down at the dark-haired woman. "You need help? Against... him?" Mamoru asked, his eyebrow raised slightly. She shook her head 'yes' a deep scowl across her lips. "Very well then."

"Arigato." Nehelenia said, leaning up and kissing Mamoru firmly on the lips.
Usagi's face fell as she saw her beloved... scratch that... her EX-beloved kissing the woman that had caused so much pain and suffering.

"Mamo-chan..." Usagi whispered, the haunted look returning to her eyes as they fell on the dark-haired man kissing Nehelenia. Juunanagou felt that strange feeling inside of him again... every time that look crossed his face he couldn't help but feel angry for some reason... no... He's angry because this battle isn't a challenge at all, that's the only thing that angers him. "I can't forgive you... Mamo-chan..." she whispered as she held up the golden crystal, closing her cerulean blue eyes... the two pools of the deepest ocean that showed so much expression, so much feeling...

"You cannot win, Usako..." Mamoru said calmly, still no emotion showing on his face or in the tone of his voice, "First, I will get rid of your little boyfriend, though." Juunanagou just stood there, no emotion presently showing on his face. That was how he was most of the time, not even a scowl graced his perfect facial features, never a smile nor a frown. Those emotions were dead to him, ever since he lost his humanity and became an android; he had lost it all and was now nothing more than a machine that no longer had a purpose... He had failed his intended goal and was now nothing but a worthless machine that was slowly going out of date.

"We'll see..." Juunanagou said calmly as he uncrossed his arms and turned toward Mamoru, "You start..." Juunanagou said, the smirk returning to his face. He watched as the man before him reached into his jacket and a moment later, pulled his hand out, holding a single red rose. Juunanagou raised an eyebrow... why was this baka holding a rose? What a weirdo...

"With pleasure..." Mamoru said calmly as he let loose the rose that he held. In mid-air, the rose slowly turned black as it hurtled toward him. Juunanagou raised his hand and easily caught the rose, crushing the blossom in his bare hand. The corner of Mamoru's mouth slowly raised into a slight smirk as he did a movement with his hand. Juunanagou opened his hand, dropping the remains of the crushed blossom to the ground but gasped
slightly when he felt something on his hand. When he looked down, there was some sort of dark energy sparking up his arm, sending jolts of pain into him... though he was an android, pain was something he knew... It was different than what a human would feel, but it was still registered as pain and a small cry escaped his lips, being silenced a moment later when he slammed his mouth closed, clenching his teeth tightly as he bit back the pain.

"Is that all?" Juunanagou asked calmly.

"You cannot beat me, last time we fought, you were trapped in that crystal... this time, I won't be so lenient. You'll end up in your grave little princess." Nehelenia said bitterly.

"I will not give up without having tried..." Usagi whispered calmly, letting the tears fall freely from her eyes. She held the crystal up, her eyes closed... and the crystal began to glow a dim golden color, becoming brighter after a few moments. Usagi's eyes opened and she gazed up at the gem, a look of frustration on her face. "Iie... the crystal is dying again..." she gasped, a look of overwhelming sadness coming over her. "And this time,
ChibiUsa isn't here to help me... she's not here to save their dreams... the golden crystal is worthless..." she sobbed, dropping to her knees, letting the crystal slide to the floor.

"So, you have realized the truth ne?" Nehelenia asked, smirking at the broken Moon princess that kneeled on the ground, the golden crystal darkening in her hand.

"I can't do this by myself..." Usagi whispered quietly, closing her eyes. She dropped the crystal and opened her eyes, letting them meet those of Nehelenia. "I am helpless to stop her..." she whispered to herself. "I... I give up..." Usagi whispered quietly. Juunanagou stopped fighting when he heard those words escape her lips. The dark energy had trailed up his arm, surrounding it completely, but still he fought... splitting Mamoru's lip, making blood trail from his mouth down the front of that ridiculous out-of-date tuxedo that he wore.

"I win again, pathetic little Serenity..." Nehelenia said calmly.

"You may have defeated me demo... I still feel sorry for you as I always have..." Usagi said, pity filling those expressive eyes of hers.

"Iie... not that again..." Nehelenia whispered as she saw the look that filled Usagi's eyes. The same look the princess of the Moon had given her... the same look that had filled Helios's eyes before she had taken the golden crystal from him... the same look in that little pink moon-brat's eyes... she couldn't take it... "Stop it! Stop giving me that look!!! I don't need your pity!!! I don't want your pity!!!" she cried, putting her hands over her
ears as she kneeled over.

"Okaasan!" A voice snapped. Nehelenia's head snapped up as a young girl approached the two of them. Usagi was still kneeling on the ground, Juunanagou standing beside her with his eyes narrowed on the pair that stood before them. "Okaasan! You promised!! I'm going to be late now!!" The small child said, pouting.

"Oh dear... I forgot, demo, I have a little job I need to finish first..." Nehelenia said patiently.

"Iie! You said you'd go!! Otousan!!!" The little girl whined as she grabbed onto the man's pant-leg. Mamoru smiled at the young girl, stroking her black hair.

"Of course dear, we're leaving right now," Mamoru said, smiling at the child. "Come along dear, we have to go now." Mamoru said, helping Nehelenia to her feet before they disappeared through a mirror that disappeared a moment after than.

"Juu-chan..." Usagi whispered as she turned to him. He looked down at her and gently helped her to her feet, slightly surprised when she threw herself against his chest and began to weep. He didn't know how to comfort this emotional girl so he just stood there, letting her cry, stroking her back in a soothing manner.

"Are you all right Usa-chan?" he asked, looking down at the girl. She nodded slightly and wiped her tears away, returning her gaze to Juunanagou.

"Juu-chan... I have to find my Senshi..." She said calmly, not a trace of the sobbing girl remained. She merely looked slightly depressed and maybe a little worried. "Will you help me?" he asked, looking up at him hopefully.

"Hai." he said, the corner of his mouth turning upward slightly into that little smile that looked like a smirk of his.

"Arigato..." she said, leaning her head against his chest once again. She felt so tired, so drained... so much had happened so fast, she was still trying to catch up with all the events that had come to pass... So many betrayals, so much pain... so much had happened while she was trapped in that crystal... Mamoru... how could he betray her like that? She gave him nothing but love, she was complete true to him... she never lied to him... she put her heart in his hands and he decided that she wasn't worth it anymore and
decided to shatter it into a million little pieces that were cast away just as quickly.

"Serenity-hime..." A familiar but weak voice came from above. Usagi picked her face up off of Juunanagou's shoulder to see a familiar figure floating above.

"Helios?"
