Chapter 9
Duo collapsed to the ground, just looking down at the hard moon floor, "I remember everything" he panted.
Princess Serenity touched his shoulder, "Duo"
"I am not Duo, I am the God of Death" he stated as his eyes flashed red.
"Princess! Back away!" cried out Sailor Pluto as she left her bubble and became her normal size.
Duo turned around looking at Princess Serenity with an evil smile and his eyes glowing red. Sailor Pluto got into a fighting stage, grasping her staff while standing in front of the Princess. Duo grabbed his scythe and started to weakly walk towards Serenity.
"I …must…kill…Serenity…" he whispered out loud. "Princess help me!" he then cried out.
Princess Serenity's eyes got big, "Sailor Pluto! What's going on?"
"His personality keeps changing, he's still under the Negaverse's power, but he's starting to remember who he was in his past life and trying to be free" explained Sailor Pluto.
"Is there anyway we can bring him back?" asked Princess Serenity with hope in her eyes.
"We need to heal him with the crystal" answered Sailor Pluto.
Duo slowed down a bit and dropped his scythe and fell to the ground. "Duo!" cried out Princess Serenity as she pushed Sailor Pluto aside and ran up to Duo and knelt down by his side.
"Duo, talk to me!" she cried with watery eyes, "Please Duo!"
"Princess…help…me" he whispered as he fainted in Princess Serenity's arms.
"Oh Duo" cried Princess Serenity as she embraced him in her arms with tears rolling down her cheeks.
Sailor Pluto just stared at the couple, she then walked up to them and knelt down as well, "Serenity, he's not worthy"
Princess Serenity quickly looked up with big eyes. "You're a Princess, you don't belong with a God". Princess Serenity just looked up at Sailor Pluto with no reaction. "Let him be Serenity, heal him and let him be free" Princess Serenity looked down at Duo and saw his peaceful sleeping face. She gently whipped her other tears with her other hand and just looked down at Duo.
"Pluto, is he the God of Death? Or Duo?" asked Princess Serenity.
Sailor Pluto took a seat next to the Princess, "I guess you can say, he's the God of Death, but he's in his human form. When he killed himself, he turned into The God of Death and Beryl took him in and raised him to become this way, collect souls to feed on energy. Duo was just a toy for Beryl to use and still is"
Princess Serenity seemed to understand better, "And what about his friends?"
"They're all here, with us on the moon. You just can't seem them" smiled Sailor Pluto.
Princess Serenity looked down at the sleeping God of Death and gently stroked his long bangs. Sailor Pluto rested her hand on Serenity's shoulder, "I must go, but please Princess be careful around him, and remember he's not worth it"
Princess Serenity nodded and watched Sailor Pluto vanish once again, before her eyes.
Princess Serenity then returned her eyes back on Duo.
"Duo, I promise once we return to the kingdom, I'll have you healed and we can be friends once again" thought Princess Serenity.
"There she is!" cried out a voice.
"Princess Serenity!" called out another.
Princess Serenity looked around her to see guards from the palace surrounding her with Prince Endymion coming her way. He walked right up to her, "You were out here all this time! The entire kingdom was looking for you!"
Princess Serenity had no comeback. Prince Endymion looked down to see Duo resting on her lap, his eyes got filled with rage, he then raised his hand and smacked Princess Serenity across her face, "You left me for this..this thing!"
"I didn't leave you! I walked out here to be alone!" lied Princess Serenity.
"Alone! With a creature like that!" snarled Prince Endymion.
"He's not a creature, he's human like you and me! He's my friend!" insisted Princess Serenity.
"I don't believe that's your friend! He probably raped you!" insisted Prince Endymion as he picked her up by her wrist.
"Let me go!" cried out Princess Serenity as she cried in pain.
"Guards! Take this boy and place him in the dungeon for good" ordered Prince Endymion.
"No!" cried out Princess Serenity as she watched the guards pick up Duo. "Leave him alone!"
"I see you care a lot about this boy" said Prince Endymion as he threw Princess Serenity to the ground. Princess Serenity laid there and slowly turned around.
"He's my friend, and you know what Endymion" she said as she got up. She took the star locket and threw it at Endymion's face, "You can have your stupid star locket!" and began to walk away from him.
Prince Endymion looked at the star locket, of course he didn't approve of this. He grabbed Princess Serenity by her long streamers and pulled her close to him. Princess Serenity cried.
"The moment I become King, I will make sure you obey my orders" grunted Prince Endymion as he dragged her. Princess Serenity began to scream. The guards were all in shock and were afraid to get involved, the way how Prince Endymion was.
After from hearing Princess Serenity's screams, Duo slowly began to open his eyes as he was being dragged away. He looked up to see Prince Endymion dragging Princess Serenity by her hair. "Serenity"
Duo then pushed the guards away from him and quickly flew fast towards Princess Serenity.
"Duo!" screamed the Princess.
Duo flew down towards Serenity and scooped her up and pulled her away from Prince Endymion.
"Come back here!" ordered Prince Endymion as he saw the God of Death flying away with the Princess returned to the Moon Kingdom.
"I want that demon boy killed!" hollered Prince Endymion.
