"We got get out of here" Usagi whispered, weakly. They started to slip out of the ropes. Beryl was about to rejoice for the return of the evil Nephrite when Sailor Moon's tiara hit her.

"That will teach ya." She said with a smile.

"You're too late. He is already filled with Metallia's power. Ha" She laughed. The Dark kingdom started to shake. Rocks began to fall.

"We have to leave. Ami-chan, come on." Usagi started to pull Ami's arm. But Ami couldn't move. She yanked her arm out of Usagi's grip and walked towards her enemies. Everybody looked at her, worried. "Please, don't let this be happening again." Usagi thought.

"MERCURY AQUA MIST!" Ami yelled. Her attack sent Beryl and Kunzite flying against the wall. Ami ran to Nephrite's side.

"Ami-chan." Usagi said. Ami turned her head to face the girls. Rei smiled.She really loves to him Wow. YUCK!

"I have something to tell you. Ever since Nephrite returned, I've realized I loved him." She turned her head back to Nephrite. She placed her lips gently upon his cold ones and kissed him. She felt her own energy return. She felt his lips warming up. She quickly parted their lips as Nephrite awoke. He saw Ami,

"Mercury." He whispered, joy and happiness in his voice. Ami smiled, raised herself and walked over to her friends, head raised high. She didn't get far until Kunzite grasped her and put his sword to her stomach. He held an evil smile. He turned to Nephrite.

"Nephrite! Return to Beryl's control, less you want your love to die." He closed the sword into her stomach.

"Mercury!" Nephrite yelled. He raised himself. His face was pissed off. Nobody messes with Mercury and doesn't deal with me in the end. He thought.

Nephrite, don't worry about me. You can't return to Beryl. Let him kill me. I can't bear losing you to that wretch of a woman. Please, don't care about me. Just don't return to Beryl! Nephrite's eyes shot open. Mercury was talking to him telepathically! How she had received this power was beyond him.

Mercury, I can't. If he kills you, I don't know what'll happen to me. Please, I can't have you die at the expense of me. He responded. He stepped forward, but Kunzite only pushed farther.

"Uh, uh, uh. You don't want her killed, do you?" Nephrite didn't know what to do. If he returned to Beryl's control, he'd never be with Ami again, in any lifetime. If he refused, Ami would be killed on the spot. He couldn't have that. He loved her to much.

I must let her live. No matter what, she must live. She will forget about me. Forget about our love and move on. I must return to Beryl, no matter what. For Mercury's life. "Kunzite, I will return to Beryl's hand, but first, let Mercury go! NOW!"

"Nephrite, no! You can't! Please, don't!" Mercury pleaded, but Nephrite ignored her begging.

Kunzite smiled, removed his sword and pushed Mercury into the dirt at Nephrite's feet. He kneeled himself and picked her up, checking over her to make sure Kunzite hadn't done damage to her.

"Nephrite, you can't return to Beryl. Please, reconsider." Mercury whispered. Tears streamed out of her eyes. He brushed them away with the pad of his thumb.

"I can't have him kill you. This is the only way. You will see me again, I promise." He whispered back to her. He lifted himself up, along with Mercury, than left her, walking to Kunzite. He turned back only once, before vanishing with the twit of general. Ami reached out, but was too late. She collapsed and sobbed. Her friends gathered around her and lifted her up. She walked with them as they wandered around for a way out. They finally found a portal. They stepped through to find themselves in the place they were before they were kidnapped by Kunzite, unsuited. All the people had recovered and left. The senshi nodded and parted. Ami ran home, her mother still wasn't home, and went to bed. She did the only thing she could. Cried herself to sleep.
