" Where are you going, Sailor Moon? " Sailor Mars asked

" I need more time to think. Don't ever followed me. " she told to them

And she continues running.

" I guess she was ashamed of herself that she failed to protect Battle Lover Scarlet. " Sailor Jupiter said

" What we were gonna do now next? Any plans? " Sailor Mercury asked

The four Battle Lovers including the Caerula Adamas went approached to them.

" Oh, is there's anything that you guys wanted to say with? " Sailor Mars asked them

" Frankly, I guess it was our fault that we failed to protect Yumoto from her. " Battle Lover Epinard answered in response

" Yeah, our powers were not stronger that much to fight against her. I guess we are totally hopeless. " Battle Lover Vesta said, with an upset facial expression

" Guys, it was not your or everyone's fault. You guys did the right thing. " Sailor Venus said to them

" Yeah, and besides.. it was her fault all along.. all she wants from him, nothing but evil desires. You don't have to be getting fall down that easily.. I guess there is an another way to take her down. " Sailor Mercury said

" It was? " Battle Lover Cerulean asked

" Of course... unless we will gonna work together. " Sailor Mars said in response

" Well, I guess I have no objections. " Kinshiro said

" Me too " Akoya said

" I had fully agreed. We have to rescued Yumoto at all cost. " Arima said

And so, the four Battle Lovers were finally agreed that they will gonna joined up in rescuing Yumoto from the evil hands of Sava.

" But hold on.. how about Sailor Moon? Will we can able to convinced her? " Battle Lover Sulfur asked the Sailor Guardians

" Don't you worry, her fiancee Judai will gonna able to handled this one. " Sailor Venus answered in response

" Wait.. you mean the current representative of Duel Academia, isn't it? " Battle Lover Epinard asked

" Yes, exactly it is. Well to telled that to you guys, they will gonna getting engaged in next month. " Sailor Mars said

They were surprised of what she had said.

" But don't you worry about it.. I had hoped that Mr.Yumoto can able to understand it that way.. or rather if he was willing to be one of her consorts. " Sailor Venus told them, in a calm manner

" one of her consorts? " Battle Lover Vesta asked, with his eye twitching

" Mhmm.. " Sailor Venus responded

" Oh.. okay.. " Battle Lover Cerulean uttered

On the other hand, Sailor Moon was standing at the bridge road, watching at the skies. Her face was filled with ashamed and guilt.

" I had been failed to protect him.. I guess I'm not strong enough to fight back.. I guess I'm totally useless warrior.. why it does happened to me? Why?! " slammed her head on the post stand

The skies turned dark grey and the rain felled down.

" I shouldn't come here in the first place.. what a foolish girl I am.. "

That very moment, Judai enters in, holding an umbrella, seeing her facial expression.

" Usagi dear "

Upon seeing him, she was surprised.

" Oh.. it was just you, Judai. How did you find me here? " did not turn her back

" Miss Hino told me. I guess you are felt ashamed that you had been failed to protect that young man, isn't it? "

Sailor Moon was surprised, knew on her mind that Judai had finally know about her secret love relationship with Yumoto.

She didn't answer back and so, he stepped in, tapped his hand on her shoulder and said to her " I know that he likes you so much despite that we will gonna getting engaged in next month. I'm pretty sure that he will gonna understand that way. "

" It does? Are you not mad at me? " turned her head a little, facing at him

" No, Usagi dear. The most important thing is right now is to rescued him from those people who mistreated him so badly.. just like how you did this to me many times. "

" Are you really sure about that? "

Judai smiled at her. And so, Sailor Moon had finally realized that Judai had completely understood that Yumoto was also very important to her life as well.

She closed her eyes and said " I guess you are right, my darling. I guess I'm so very ashamed of myself that I didn't recognize the enemy's real secret powers and abilities. But somehow, you two are so very important to me.. even though you two are far more different from each other. "

" You shouldn't have to. Only have to do is to rescued him and make amends. I do believe that you can able to do it. "

" Yes, you're right, Judai. I will gonna do my best I can.. to protect the people that I had truly cared and loved with. I will never let my guard down against her. "

Judai smiled once again.

" I guess you are getting soaked in the rain. Let's go back to the hotel. I guess our future foster adopted son Jerry was getting worried about you. "

" Yeah, sort of. "

And so, Judai takes Sailor Moon back to the hotel. Upon they arrived back, the four Inner Guardians were sat on the sofa.

" Oh, Usagi.. you're back.. " Sailor Mercury said

" Yeah.. it was.. I guess I'm so sorry for my harshness back when.. I was in totally lost in thought that much.. " Sailor Moon apologize

" You don't have to, Usagi. And besides, we have to rescued him and to defeat her at all cost. " Sailor Jupiter said to her

" It was? " Sailor Moon asked

" Yes, the Battle Lovers will gonna teamed up in rescuing Battle Lover Scarlet.. I mean Yumoto Hakone from the evil queen. " Sailor Venus said in response

" Everyone.. " Sailor Moon uttered

She had realized that her friends were always to support her at all the times even in some dangerous risks, with the help from other people who can truly relied on with.

" Alright then, we will have to make a secret rescue mission plan. But first, just sent the Battle Lovers team in here. " she said to her friends

" Are you sure about that? " Sailor Mars asked

" Of course, trust me. " Sailor Moon answered, flickered her eye on Judai, and smiled at him

" Oh.. okay.. we should sent them in here immediately. " Sailor Mars said, with shrugging

" Good " Sailor Moon said

On the other hand at the dark castle, Yumoto had regained consciousness on a large comfy room.

" Where.. am.. I? "

But he realized that he was wearing a different clothes instead of his Battle Lover Scarlet uniform.

" What the? Why I am wearing this one? I might be that.. Sava brought me here? "

Luckily, his Lover Bracelet was still wore on his wrist.

" Thanks goodness... my bracelet was safe on my wrist. "

He tries to transformed but it failed.

" Huh? Why my Lover Bracelet didn't respond? Don't really think that Sava blocked all of my powers? "

But then, the voice of Sava was heard, with sweet amusement " I guess you are finally awake, Prince Scarlet. "

Upon hearing her voice, he turned his back, facing at her, with a surprise expression on his face.

" Sava! Why you brought me here? What do you really want from me anyhow?! "

" Oh my.. what a courageous young man you are.. all i really wanted is that you are belonged to my beautiful collections.. and that is why you are here.. to stayed with me forever. " with amusement on her face

" For the last time, I'll never stayed and to be with you forever.. for real! And besides, my heart was belonged to someone else.. the girl who can able to protect and to loved me! "

" Oh, are you referring to that warrior Sailor Moon, aren't you? Heh, I don't really care if she will gonna rescued you. " with a little insanity on her face

" She will gonna rescued me! And besides, I will never ended up with an evil witch just like you! "

" Make me, Prince Scarlet.. after all, I will gonna give you everything as you really wanted to. "

She tries to touch his chin with her index finger but he turned his head away from her.

And so, she turned her back, walking through the door and said " I will gonna gave you one more chance to decide.. or if you don't.. I will gonna destroyed your friends one by one. "

" No! You can't do that! Don't destroyed my closest friends. " with a surprise expression on his face

" Then, you have to decide for that.. soon.. you will be belonged to my beautiful possessions. " with an evil laughter on her face

Then, she went out of the room. As she was already left, Yumoto kneeled down on the floor, was felt defenseless for the very first time in his whole life.

" please.. Sailor Moon.. I need you.. please.. saved me.. I do really need you.. please.." with a teardrop felled from his eyes

Back when, the Sailor Guardians and the Battle Lovers were discussing about the secret rescue plan and how to defeat Sava. They ended their secret conversation for 2 hours and a half.

After that, Usagi went upstairs, went to the hotel room, seeing Judai was standing, watching the rain felled into the window.

She slowly steps in, asked in a normal tone manner " Watching the rain, isn't it? "

He slightly giggled, and responded " Yeah, very obvious that much. So.. how was the conversation goes? "

" Seems the secret plan might work it out that way. "

" I see.. I guess you are truly cared for that young man.. I wished that I will gonna meet him in personal. "

" Don't you worry.. if I had rescued him from the evil queen.. I will gonna introduced him to you. "

He smiled at her.

" By the way, how did you met him in the first place? "

" Well actually.. I met him in an accident.. just like how we met for the very first time in personal... since in our childhood years."

" I see.. so.. what was his main personality was? "

" Uh.. he's was much more like me after all.. although he was the youngest in their family. His big brother owns a hot spring spa nearby. "

" Now that you mention it, I had already seen and met him a few days ago before I had arrived here. "

" It was?! "

" Exactly although.. I didn't ask him if he got an another sibling. "

" Oh.. I didn't expected that way.. to tell you this, he was a very unexceptional man despite that their parents were passed away a long time ago. "

" just like Mr Yumoto? "

" Yeah, perhaps... "

He slight giggled at her.

" What was the giggle about? "

" I guess he was much more handsome than me. I guess I'm slightly jealous of him.. " with a little shrugged on his shoulder

" But you are more handsome young man and besides, he have a little bit one that much. "

" Really? " with his eye twitching at her

" Of course. Do you think I'm not joking at you? "

" No, not really. " with a smile on his face

" Thanks "

That very moment, Jerry enters in

" Uh, Usagi.. I guess his older brother was at the doorstep.. he wants to talked with you. "

" It was? " with a little surprise on her face

And so, the Sailor Guardians and the Battle Lovers were gonna teamed up in rescuing Yumoto / Battle Lover Scarlet from the evil hands of Sava the Dark Queen. Despite of her love relationship with Judai, she still truly cares for Yumoto so much despite they were both leaders of their own teams.
