AN: I've been busy lately, sorry for the lack of writing this story ;; I still need to catch up on my other stories, but I'm so into this one. I will give out somewhat of a hint, but this story is coming to a end soon, but don't worry! A sequel is around the corner! Like I said in the beginning, this is part of my Usagi and Duo saga. I'm happy with all the reviews and thank you for loving my story so much! And if anyone knows someone who can make pictures of different scenes that go with my saga please let me know!
Chapter 20
Usagi was snoring away and was off in dream land. Luna starred her down with an annoyed reaction and she rolled her brown eyes, "Oh Usagi.." she thought. Luna curled up in a ball by Usagi's window, she closed her eyes but quickly reopened them when she saw the Scouts and the Pilots standing in front of Usagi's house.
Luna gasped, "Usagi! Usagi wake up!"
Luna shook her with her little black paws, but Usagi wouldn't budge. Luna growled, "Usagi, WAKE UP!" hollered the cat in Usagi's ear. Usagi's eyes got big and she fell out of her bed and smacked her head on the floor.
Usagi grunted and rubbed the back of her head with her hand, "Geeze Luna, what gives?"
"Look" turned and pointed Luna out the window.
Usagi walked towards her window and looked out and was just as shocked as Luna was, "It's The girls with Heero, Quatre, Trowa, and Wufei!"
"You better get dressed and see what's going on" advised Luna.
Usagi nodded and as she was about to turn around she heard a thud hit her window. She turned around again to see Minako throwing small pebbles at her window and yelling "Usagi!"
"Usagi! Wake up!" yelled Minako.
"Minako, you're going to wake up the whole neighborhood" whispered Ami with a small sweat drop on the side of her head.
Usagi then came to the window again and opened it, "What is it Minako?"
"Usagi, come down here quickly, it's about Duo" replied Ami with a smooth voice.
Usagi was in shock, "Duo"
Minutes later, Usagi ran out of her house in her school uniform. She met up with the group with Luna by her side. "What happened? Where's Duo?" asked Usagi.
Ami looked towards Rei with a sad face, Rei looked down and so did Makoto and Minako. The Pilots just looked at each other.
Trowa turned towards Usagi, "He's been kidnapped by Malachite"
"What!" panicked Usagi "Why didn't you guys try to stop him! Is he hurt! Oh I should've stayed there even longer" Usagi then caught herself when she admitted she was there at the apartment earlier that day.
The girls gasped, but the boys were calm about it, "Usagi! You went over there!"
"I had to, I had to see him" blushed Usagi but was a little embarrassed.
"It's OK, we know" chuckled Trowa.
"But the reason we wanted to meet up with you is because we want to know where Duo is, we have no idea on who your enemy is or anything" stepped in Heero.
"When Duo was captured, did Malachite just teleport somewhere?" asked Makoto.
"Yes, he left carrying Duo in his arms" answered Trowa who witness Duo's capture.
"They must have taken him to the negaverse" announced Artemis.
"Right, you guys are going to have to go there yourselves to fight Malachite and Beryl in order to bring Duo back" agreed Luna.
'Talking cats?" questioned Wufei, "Now I've seen everything"
"No time to explain, you girls transform. Prepare for Malachite and Beryl" demanded Luna.
"No" blurted out Usagi.
"But don't you want to save Duo?" asked Rei
"Luna, we're not strong enough, what if we can't do it?" asked Usagi
"I believe in you, just stick together and I wish you the best" smiled Luna.
Usagi smiled weakly and agreed with Luna. Heero kept his eye on Usagi. He slowly approached her and walked right up to her face, "We're going too" "You guys! It's going to be dangerous do you think you can handle it?" asked Ami as she over heard.
Heero chuckled, "We've had dangerous missions in our past and fierce battles, don't think we can't handle this"
"He sure is cocky" whispered Minako to Rei. Rei nodded her head a few times.
"C'mon, we have a friend to save!" shouted Usagi as she whipped out her locket.
"Right" agreed the girls.
"Moon Prisim Power Make-Up!"
"Mercury Power Make-Up!"
"Mars Power Make -Up!"
"Jupiter Power Make-Up!"
"Venus Power Make-Up!"
The five girls transformed in front of the pilots, the boys were amazed at the girls and knew they were something special, which they were. When the girls were done transforming, Luna and Artemis both walked up to the girls.
"Are you girls ready?" asked Artemis
"This will be your toughest battle yet" warned Luna.
"I hope I'm ready.." thought Sailor Moon.
The girls all held handles and formed a circle and closed their eyes. Artemis walked over to the pilots. "If you guys are going, get into the center of the circle, their doing their Sailor Teleport. It will take you to the Negaverse" informed the white cat.
The boys walked towards the girls and Sailor Jupiter and Sailor Venus made an entrance for the boys to get in. They reattached once the boys came close together. The wind around them was starting to pick up speed and all the girls had their eyes closed. Their planet colors glowed around them like an angel and with a blink of an eye, the scouts and the pilots were gone.
Duo slowly opened his eyes and looked around. He wasn't in his warm bed back at his apartment. Instead, he was at some mysterious palace laying on the floor. He had an eerie feeling inside of him. He slowly got up and pushed himself off of the floor and had a look around, "This place, it seems so familiar. Like I've been here before" he turned his head in every direction.
"Finally, the God of Death has awaken" a feminine voice announced.
"Who are you?" asked Duo as he turned towards where the voice was coming from.
A shaded figure was walking towards him holding a staff, leaving her throne. It was Queen Beryl.
"Queen Beryl.." grunted Duo as he saw her in person.
"Excellent work Malachite" complemented the Queen. Malachite bowed in return.
"What do you want with me?" asked Duo trying not to be scared.
"Remember Duo? So long ago? I took care of you when you were just a boy. I kept you under my wing" cooed Queen Beryl.
Duo rolled his eyes, "Yeah right, have any proof of that?"
Queen Beryl giggled a bit and took her staff and it began to glow and an image of a young Duo appeared, he was killing innocent people and collecting their souls and using the souls to help feed the energy for the Negaverse. Duo was in shock as Queen Beryl was right, he was remembering how Beryl took care of him back in the past.
"That, can't be true.." stuttered Duo.
"You killed the lives of the innocent, and help this world grow and grow. Thank you Duo" laughed Queen Beryl.
Duo quickly turned away and he felt so ashamed, "This is all my fault, I helped create this world"
"And it's your fault Sailor Moon and the Scouts need to risk their lives in order to save Earth!" laughed Malachite.
Duo angrily grunted and turned around towards Malachite, "Shut up!" he screamed.
Malachite and Queen Beryl both continued to laugh at Duo's face. Duo was heading towards a guilt trip. He realized all of this was his fault, but he tried to be brave about it and not show his weak side.
"Prince Endymoin" called out Queen Beryl. Duo turned around to see Prince Endymion walking towards him. "Change back Duo to his old self, the true Shinigami"
"Mamoru!" called out Duo, "They brainwashed you!"
"Now Duo, I was evil all along" coldly said Prince Endymion, "Now it's your turn". Prince Endymion pulled out a black rose and threw it at Duo. The rose touched the bottom of Duo's feet and purple electricity went around Duo's body and Duo cried out in pain. Black vines tied up Duo's wrists and legs together, holding him tight as he was being zapped.
Queen Beryl walked towards Duo, "Come Shinigami! Take over this man's body like you did years ago! Make him come back to his evil self!" more dark energy zapped Duo and Duo screamed louder and louder.
"I don't want to be evil again!" he thought to himself.
"Usagi never loved you! She hates you! You've let her down so many times along with your friends! You've failed many missions as a Gundam Pilot! You're worthless!" laughed Queen Beryl as she saw Duo's body starting to transform.
Duo's body then started to change, he was becoming more muscular, his cobalt eyes turned red and he grew fangs, black armor covered his chest, but showing of his muscles, his bat wings then stretched and his scythe appeared in his left hand, but it had a sharp blade. He started to laugh evilly, he became a true demon.
