Shout Outs!-
Sailor Ra-i already now most of Vegeta's attacks so there's no need to get him back just yet.. anyways i can't have Haruka with Yami in my next one since she is already playing the role og Hotaru's guardian with Michiru. However i was thinking of pairing Minako up withYami. ok just think about it. Yami is serious, especially when it comes to dueling. i think Minako can help him loosen up and have fun. if you don't agree with me then well i really have no one who could be with him. i just don't see Ami or Makoto with him. oh and i am a ferm Serena/Darien believer. thanks for your stuff and the review!
Harpygirl91- ok thankys! i had a science teacher like that...and because of him i Failed! we had some lady teaching us in the beginning of the year and i was doing fine, then she moved and we got stuck with him. actually most of the class did fail, or barely passed. anyways thanks for the review!

88 Last Time 88
"When we get there, many of you may not survive. But remember what you are fighting and dying for. Hondo will not hesitate to kill you even if you surrender. So in other words, you are fighting to live. No lets move out!" the men gave another cry and followed the three to what could be their doom.
88 This Time 88
88 hours before that 88
Hotaru looked ahead and saw the ruins of what used to be a temple. When she reached it bodies of the priests and servants lay everywhere. The place smelt heavily of blood and smoke. She dismounted the horse and patted it's neck. The horse was scared out of it's mind. It had sensed the evil and would not go forward. With a sigh she got in front of it and continued to pet it.
"Don't worry girl. You can go home now. You don't have to stay in this awful place." she said and turned it around. The horse was more then ready to leave, for once she let go of the reigns it took off back to the palace.
Turning she faced the entranced to the temple. A cold wind blew out of it and gently caressed her face. It wanted her to go in. To her it felt like she was being welcomed by death, but knew better. She was just here to kick some sorry "child's" ass. Since their last fight, Hotaru had regained most of her old skills. At night she had snuck out to practice them and perfect them. Now she was ready for what was to come.
Taking a deep breathe she walked up the steps and into the darkness. The place looked trashed. She realized it was once a temple of Anubis, the God of the Dead. She couldn't help but smile, this would be the perfect place to hold their fight. Silently she said a prayer to the God for a safe journey to the afterlife, should she die. Though she didn't think she was going to loose this time.
"Well if it isn't the little dark girl." came Hondo's voice. It seemed to be everywhere. "Come to chase the monsters out of the shadows?"
Hotaru smirked. "No...I've come to destroy the shadows and kill the monsters."
A maniacal laughter echoed around her. Suddenly the floor opened up beneath her and she fell down it. It was like a long tunnel only instead of crawling she went flying through it. Finally it stopped and she tumbled out onto the hard floor that was covered in a light layer of sand. Quickly she got up and pulled out her glaive.
"Isn't this place homey? If I could I would live down here. However I must kill you and the pharaoh first. Take over Egypt and destroy it's people and anyone else who opposes me. I'll be much to busy to actually settle down somewhere."
Hotaru turned and saw Hondo at the top of some steps. He was sitting comfortably on a statue of Anubis. Hotaru growled at him. Had he no respect for the Gods? That will be his own undoing, for she doubted Anubis would show him any mercy when he dies. And she will be the one to send Hondo to him.
"I doubt Anubis would let you live here." she said. Hondo smirked.
"Ah yes, well then..he'll just have to move out." with that he jumped down and threw the offering the priests had made earlier to the other side of the room. "Cause it sure won't be me that leaves."
Hotaru felt her blood boil. "You're right Hondo. You won't be the one to leave. For this place will be your tomb!" she cried and charged. Hondo quickly brought up his sword in time to block her attack.
"Eager to fight are we? Well then let's get to it." he said and countered her attack. She managed to dodge out of his swords way, took out a small knife and threw it. It dug into the pillar behind him, barely an inch away from his head. He turned his red eyes back to her and she shivered. He was increasing his power.
Suddenly he was in front of her and managed to cut her left arm. She held in her cry but gasped at the sudden pain. Quickly she backed away from him and blocked his next strike that was aimed for her neck. Ignoring the searing pain in her left arm Hotaru swung her glaive in a diagonal sweep. The tip of her glaive only managed to nick his shin as he jumped back.
"You know my soldiers are on their way to destroy the palace." Hondo said as he locked his weapon with hers.
"Well I'm sure everyone's going to be ready for them. I killed your two little dogs and left them for the guards to find. Plus once my sister wakes up, she'll be able to tell them where I've gone." Hotaru said and pushed him away.
Hondo smirked and tried to stab her in the stomach. She dodged it and kicked him in the chest, sending him into a pillar. In no time he recovered and moved out of the way of her swing. They traded blows for awhile and jumped away from each other. Both stood back breathing heavily from all the work.
Hotaru had a cut on her cheek and the right side of her thigh also had a gash. Not to mention she still had the cut she got earlier on her left arm. Hondo wasn't much better. She had cut his jaw and his lip was busted from meeting the butt of her glaive. The nick on his shin had gotten bigger after she had tried to hack his legs off again.
Hondo popped a few bones in his neck before licking the blood from his bottom lip. "Well, shall we begin again?" he asked between gasps. Hotaru only nodded before charging again.

Atem and the men came up over the hill. There to greet them was the sight of thousands of men in black armor. They were Hondo's men alright. Some the soldiers shifted uncomfortably on their horses. They did not think there would be this many. Atem ordered them to stay where they were. He, Bakura, and Seto scanned the crowd, however they did not see Hondo anywhere. Nor could they find Hotaru, Anzu, or Hamadi.
"Do you think they are here? Or fighting somewhere else?" Atem asked.
Bakura glared at the men before him. "They must be somewhere else fighting."
Atem nodded. Well it looked like they really only could take care of Hondo's men. Amara would probably laugh at this. Sighing he faced his men and gave them another pep talk to ease their nerves. The archers were instructed to get and they did. The rest of the soldiers held up their shields just incase the other side decided to use arrows. However the other side didn't really have a battle plan. For without another thought they all charged forward, swords out and ready.
"Wait for it." Atem told the archers. "Ready...an fire!"
The archers let the arrows go. The deadly weapons soared high up then came spinning down killing the first few rows of men. "Second round! Fire!" the same thing happened again. By now Hondo's men were too close to use the arrows. Atem and the men pulled out their swords and began to charge now.
Soon the great clash sounded as men cried battle cries, and death ones. Swords were swinging left and right. Men cried out in pain from being stabbed or having an arm lopped off. Blood covered everyone, their clothes, hands, and faces. Weapons banged against each other as their owners fought on.
Bakura took down another man before turning to face the next. This battle would go on for a long time, and he need to find Hotaru as soon as possible. Something told him he needed too. He was to distracted by fighting that he didn't see the man come up behind him with his sword raised. However he did hear him cry out and turned in time to see an arrow go through his throat. A soldier with their face covered came over to help him out.
"Thanks." he said as they fought side by side.
"No problem." wait...he knew that voice. Turning he saw the purple eyes of Rei.
"Rei? What are you doing here?" he asked as he killed another man.
"The other girls and I figured you needed all the help you could get. Plus I had another premonition. We need to go to Hotaru. I know where she is, but you have to come with us." Bakura nodded and followed her back up the hill, away from the fight. There on the other side were Amara and Makoto waiting on their horses. Two other horses were there for them. The two mounted.
"Where is she?" Bakura asked.
"Fighting Hondo at the temple of Anubis. Follow me." she said and kicked her horse into a gallop. The other three quickly followed after her towards a very dark part in the already clouded sky.

Hotaru didn't know how much more of this she could take. Her body was tiering from all the force she had put behind her blocks and attacks. Hondo didn't seem much better, but unlike her, he didn't need to lean on a pillar for support. Their battle had intensified not long ago when he had used his magic to slam her on the wall on the other side of the room. However she used the little purple wall she had learned to control and forced it forward, slamming him into the wall behind him.
After that they would sometimes try and do it again, but the other always brought up a shield in time. With those attacks now useless Hotaru would have a hard time facing him. Where she could probably only last 10 more minutes he could go for another half hour. She needed a miracle to get out of this one. Healing herself wouldn't work since that would probably cause her to faint.
"What's wrong Hotaru? All out of fight?" Hondo asked smirking at her as he gasped for air.
Hotaru glared at him. "You're not much better Hondo." she snapped.
"Maybe not, but I still have more energy left then you do." he pointed out.
Hotaru cursed him, he had figured that part out. Not that it was very difficult to see, but she had hoped he was as stupid as she thought. Suddenly he was in front of her and grabbed her throat lifting her into the air. Hotaru dropped her glaive and struggled to get out of his grip. Soon her lungs felt like they were burning. She needed air, which he was denying her to get. His maniacal laughter echoed through the room as it became to difficult for her to struggle.
Finally he threw her to the wall whish she hit and fell to the floor. Immediately her lungs filled up with air, and she coughed from the effect of it. She rubbed her sore throat and continued to cough. A shadow loomed over her and she looked up wearily to see Hondo standing there. He had his sword clutched in his right hand had that insane expression on his face. Slowly he raised the sword over her.
"Say good bye, Firefly." Hotaru closed her eyes, awaiting her fate. However she opened them when she sensed someone else was there. Just as Hondo was about to bring down his sword a black and brown blur tackled him to the ground. The figure quickly recovered and held a whip out at the ready. It took awhile for Hotaru to recognize who it was.
When she did, she gasped. "Anzu?"
