The Gate of the Devil's Kingdom

Jeanne and Sinbad stop as they now stand in front of a great church. "God's house is also where the gate of hell dwells." Fin tells Jeanne and Sinbad as Jeanne holds Sinbad now liking the strange energy coming from it. "This will be the final battle for you Jeanne." The green hair angel says as she now looks at Jeanne, no Maron.

"Hai, understood." Jeanne responds as she is being held by Sinbad. "I will checkmate these doors, so that there may be peace for the rest of my life time, hopefully my spirit will be able to rest in peace again in the next life time." She thinks to herself as the four stand there staring at the great big black gates. Demons of all shapes and sizes are released from the doors as Jeanne and Sinbad quickly stand back to back, with Fin and Access both at their sides.

"We'll do what we can to help you." Access tells them. "This may be one of god's houses, but the gates of hell being this close, it'll be difficult to come to help. They won't only test you physically, but will test you mentally as well." Access warns Jeanne who nods ready, her sword no longer around her neck but in her hands.

"I know this is kind of early, and at a wrong time to ask...." Sinbad starts to say as he watches the demons swirl around them.

"What?" Jeanne asks as she wonders what on earth he could be thinking.

"When we get old enough, out of school and all...." He starts to say.

"Hai?" Jeanne/Maron asks curiously.

"Will you marry me?" He asks. "I wanted to ask you later, but well...... umm..."

"Don't talk like that." Jeanne sharply orders him. "We won't fail, the good guys never loose, remember?" She reminds him, which makes him smile. "Understood, I want an answer when this is over with though, dad kind of wants to know."

"Understood." She mocks him which makes him frown underneath his bandana knowing that she was mocking him.

The two break away and begin to fight the demons, with Access and Fin's help, who have better powers then before so they could make some of the demon's disappear with it.

Jeanne screams as one of them strikes her, making her fall back to the ground, it was stronger then the rest, since all you had to do with the rest was cut right through them with her sword. "JEANNE!" She hears Sinbad cry as the darkness overwhelms her.

"Chiaki-Kun?! Miyako-chan! Iinchou –kun! Mom! Dad!" She calls now standing in her normal form, as Maron in the darkness watching as the faces slowly fade away. "No! Don't go! Don't leave me! Miyako-chan! You promised you would stay forever!" She falls to her knees as Satan appears.

"No one wants you child." He tells her as he looks upon her. "Your parents never wanted you, that's why they left. Chiaki was only using you to get close to you as Sinbad. Fin Fish was working for me and has left you for Access. Miyako is running away with Iinchou, you are truly alone." He says as he steps closer to her. "Join me Jeanne, and you won't be alone any more."

Fins voice echo's through her mind over the Devil's words. "The Devil wants to steal beautiful souls so that it will take away God's life source, God's life depends on beautiful souls. If god dies, then humans die."

"No! I don't want to join you! I won't be like Fin! God loves me, God hasn't betrayed me, neither has any one else." The dark room disappears as Jeanne yells this, leaving her standing face to face with the Devil. "I WON'T RUN ANY MORE!" She says as she holds up her sword and un-transforms. "I am not Jeanne D'Ark! I am MARON! (Don't know how to spell her last name.) It's true that I have borrowed Jeanne's powers, but I can stop these demons from controlling my world with out them. The last time I have sealed the last demon to save my parents, I have found out that I have powers of my own." The wings that where there earlier have shown up again. She was no longer wearing the outfit that she had been wearing earlier that day is no longer there, but a pretty purple dress. (Like the one at the ending theme song if you can read this.) "You, the Devil born from the light who transferred to the dark!" All of the other demons had been destroyed. "I WILL SEAL YOU HERE!" Her voice echo's off of the near by church.

The Devil quickly flees back in to the gates as she throws the glowing sword, it hits the gates and the gates start to glow. The gates turn not in to a pawn check piece, but the white king. "It's over." She sighs as she now collapses back, being caught by Sinbad. She is now her normal self again as he holds her. "Maron!" He shakes her slightly. "Maron wake up he shakes her gently.

"She'll be alright." Access tells Maron smacking him aside the head. "She just used too much of her own power, but she has more then what she knows, she just hasn't been able to learn how to process it properly though." He says as Fin nods now holding the chess piece. "Devil – Sama, your all alone now." She says a bit happy as she looks at Access and leans against his shoulder. "Our mission here is done Sinbad, no Chiaki – kun." Access tells Sinbad as Maron wakes up.

"Wait! Don't go Fin!" Maron cries as she clings to the angel.

"I'm sorry, I have to, God wants us to come back now that our mission has been completed." She hugs the young girl. "Don't ever loose faith." She tells Maron who nods understanding what she meant.

"I'll miss you Chiaki." Access tells the brown hair boy notes that Sinbad has transferred back in to Chiaki.

"I'll miss you to." Chiaki admits as he actually hugs Access. "It was fun having you as my room mate."

"Agreed." Access replies smiling.

"Take care." The two of them say as they now disappear in to a white light.

"I'll miss them." Maron says as she looks in to Chiaki's eyes.

"Yeah." Chiaki agrees as he places his arm around Maron. "So do I get an answer to my question?" He asks eagerly.

"After we finish school." Maron replies as she kisses him on the cheek.

He frowns a bit. "Alright." Chiaki agrees as the two stand there looking at the church. "Come on lets go, everyone's waiting for us."

"Alright." She moves his arm off of her and clings to it, resting her head on it. "Let's go. Miyako-chan will be mad if we don't come back."

"Agreed." Chiaki laughs as he places his arm back her shoulders as the two walk down the street, happy.

"Maron-chan!" Miyako cries happily as she hugs her friend once she comes to the door. "Welcome back! All in one piece to."

"Umm.... Miyako-chan, your and Maron-chan's not to mention Nayoga-kun's father is in here." Iinchou notes.

"Damn you Chiaki – kun!" Miyako curses as she hits him once. "How dare you make me worry by keeping her out on a date so late!" She glares at him. "While making Maron-chan's parents worry as well, they had come in to town to see her and all!"

"Mom..." Maron stutters as she looks at the woman sitting next to Miyako's mom. "Father!" She cries as she quickly throws off her shoes and runs in to the apartment, moving out of Chiaki's and Miyako's fathers as she throws her arms around the two of them.

"We've decided to try it over again Maron-chan." Her mom tells her as she strokes Maron's brown hair. "We decided to get remaired."

Maron's eyes fill with tears as she looks up at her dad who nods. "Yes, we came over to discuss it with you, but your two friends here said that you where out on a date with this young man." He smiles at his daughter after he looks at Chiaki.

"What are you doing here old man?" Chiaki asks his father with an annoyed look on his face.

"That hurts, you did promise that you would come visit me." Chiaki's father pats Chiaki on the head.

"Shut up!" Miyako, Maron, and Iinchou all laugh while the rest of the adults just look at one another.

"So have you finally asked Maron-chan?" He asks as he watches Chiaki's face now blush. "Ah! I'm guessing that means yes." He smiles knowing by his son's silence that the answer was yes.

"Let's start everything over, Mom, Dad." Her parents nod as they look down at their daughter.

"I'll explain everything to you later Miyako-chan." Maron thinks to herself as she watches her friend and Iinchou talk. "You to Iinchou." She promises.
