Sanzo and Goku who were busy fighting Zeon, heard the scream. Sanzo was the first one to turn towards where Natasha was. What occured made everyone stop what they were doing. A big flash of light surrounded Natasha as her aura grew. Her eyes glowed red as her hair became longer along with her nails. The power emanating from her was so strong it made Goku take a step back

"So, this is Natasha's true power," mumbled Sanzo to himself. He had to stop her before she did something stupid. She should be like Goku, but her limiters broke into a thousand pieces. This wasn't going to be easy.

"Good…Now, the world shall be mine," said Vincent appearing behind a pile of rubble.

Natasha's eyes locked on to Sanzo. A smirked lay on her face.

"Kill him," ordered Vincent as he snatched up Cat in his arms. Cat hissed viscously trying to bite him, "And as for you, you shall become my servant."

Cat hissed angrily as he struggled and tried to get out of Vincent's hold but Vincent was too strong. Cat was very worried for Natasha for now that her powers were free she was like Son Goku except worse...
Natasha grinned, her mind unable to take anything in but one thing. Chaos. She charged at the first person she was near which happened to be Sanzo. Sanzo cursed as he blocked her attack but barely.

"Natasha, you moron-snap out of it!" shouted Sanzo.

Vincent laughed, "Have fun, oh I do hope you don't survive...Zeon, Shien!" commanded Vincent. He got what he needed for now. Natasha still had a few things to work out, "Have fun with them pet!" he laughed vanished with Cat.

Ara'gor seemed to grin, as he watched the idiot monk try to save his girlfriend from killing him. He would enjoy this very much. He turned to Hakkai, who seemed to busy watching the fight between Sanzo and Natasha.

Everyone's attention was on the fight between Sanzo and Natasha but Hakkai kept glancing at Ara'gor. He needed to free Rayne and it seemed Ara'gor would be the only one able to do that. He would have to wait for the right moment.
Sanzo dodged yet another attack, raising his gun to fire at Natasha but it bounced off a shield. He was a little relieved for he hadn't wanted to hurt her. But she seemed to want to kill him.
Hakkai then saw the moment as he blasted a chi ball at Ara'gor which hit him in the stomach.

Ara'gor looked down as blood seeped through the dark robes, "No...Only life...could do this...Damn you to hell!" it shrieked collapsing. As the undead soldier fell, a red orb flew from its grasp. Hakkai caught it. Over to where Rayne had been, the chains vanished. She took gasp of breath as she watched in terror at her friend.

"No-Natasha!" she shouted raising her arm. She didn't know what to do. Her friend was out of control.

Natasha could only smirk as she smashed her fist into Sanzo's chest. She wanted to ripe out his heart. Sanzo tried to hold her back, but he was slowly losing his grip.

"Damnit Natasha," he snapped, as he lost his grip on her. It would be over in a matter of moments, as Natasha raised her arm for the killer blow, when a bright light surrounded her, immobilizing her.

"What is it with you Sanzo." Came a female voice.

Sanzo glared at the light, knowing who it was, the merciful goddess.

"You always end up like this," she said appearing next to Natasha. She raised her hands above Natasha's arms, the power limiters appeared, "I won't be able to save you all the time…"

"Who asked you?" Sanzo barked back.

The goddess sighed, "You never change…" she replied glancing at Rayne, "Nothing ever does…"

Vincent could almost laugh. Everything was nearing the completion. Homura would awaken and be his servant. He had waited for more than 500 years for this moment, and no one was going to stop him.

"What are we going to do now?" Zeon asked.

"Natasha, we still need her…and Rayne….But something is wrong…" said Vincent smiling, "I know we will get everything…the world is mine…Homura will awake soon, very soon…"

Natasha eyes slowly opened, a wooden ceiling met her gaze. She set up to find her self in a room. She couldn't remember what had happened. The last thing she did, she was fighting with Shien, and then…Then what?

She shook her head, "Cat," she called out in the room. No answer, "Cat?" she called out again getting out of the bed.

The door to the room opened, Sanzo's head popped in.

"Get back in bed," he said.

"Sanzo, what happened? And where's Cat?" she asked.

Sanzo sighed, "Just like Goku…You don't remember do you?"

Natasha shook her head, "That's why I asked."

"Your power limiters broke off, and your Cat was taken," he replied closing the door behind him.

"What? I didn't hurt anyone did I?" she asked.

"No," he said.

"Why did they want Cat?" Natasha asked sitting back on the bed, "But they were saying Cat was Homura……"

Rayne glanced outside the window, watching as a storm was slowly making its way. She was terrified now. Vincent was getting close.

"Rayne."

She turned around to see Hakkai, and smiled, "Yes?"

A determined expression laid on his face, "Rayne, I want you to answer me."

She knew this would come, "What?"

"How did you know where to go-what to do?" he asked.

"Because…I…" she started.

"Rayne, trust me," he said smiling at her.

"I know, but…I've done so many things…Things I'm not proud of…" she said looking away from him.

"So have I…" he said wrapping his arms around her waist.

Rayne tried to smile as she closed her eyes. This embrace, she wanted to last forever…

Hakkai held her tightly not wanting to let her go. He had now come to face with his past. He had loved Kanan but he could not go on living with her death forever. He had to move on and Rayne happened to be the person who would help him do just that. He knew she had a past that she didn't want to tell but so did he.
"Rayne...Just know that you can trust me."

Natasha clenched her fists, angry at everything that just happened. But she was grateful that Sanzo was here. She glanced at him and was about to say something when she noticed a slight tension in his face when he walked. Most people wouldn't notice it but Natasha did. He was in pain.
"Sanzo? You're hurt...was it because of me?"

Sanzo turned around towards her, "No…" he said as he walked out.

Natasha gazed after him, "You're a terrible liar…"

The Merciful goddess smiled softly, "Yes, I agree...He never could lie well, even back then...When you were Magiere, a lonely girl about to give up...You've changed him even now...And now even Lucia has started to become more like her self...Nothing changes even in five hundred years..."
