Setting: AU Silver Millennium – what if the Dark Kingdom had prevailed that night on the moon?

Theme: Fallen

The proud warrior stood alone amidst the field of rubble and corpses. The sword gripped in his left hand was still dripping blood. And on his right hand was legendary silver crystal of the moon.

Dragging his sword across the cold marble floors, as if he had already extinguished the last bit of strength, he walked up to his Queen. He knelt down on one knee, and offered her the promised prize.

Beryl let out a roaring laugh as she took the crystal and held it up high.

"Excellent, Kunzite. You never disappoint me. As of this moment, you are First in Commander of our Dark Kingdom." With that, she teleported away to celebrate her victory. Any remaining forces soon scattered and followed suit until Kunzite was the only one left standing on the Moon.

Finally, he dropped his sword. As it fell to the ground, the clang echoed for miles around. Slowly he turned around and sauntered back to the palace entrance.

There lay six fallen bodies.

Kunzite glanced down as he passed the first two bodies of black and white tangled in each other. As quickly as it appeared, the pained expression vanished from his face. Walking past another three bodies, he finally stopped when he reached the one lying face down.

Blood was smeared all over her beautiful golden hair that he had once so loved to run his fingers through. Countless stab wounds marked her back. Zoisite had defied his order. He had ordered a quick and painless death for her.

He knelt down and took her in his arm. Brushing her messy hair out of the way, he wiped away the dried tears and blood from her face. He whispered as he held her close.

"Nothing will separate us now, my love."

Kunzite stood patiently waiting. He had always been a patient man. What was a few years compared to eternity?

Only a few more hours. Nothing was in his way now.

His hand reached down, caressing the face of his love. She looked so beautiful, radiant even when lying in this dark chamber with all those tubes connected to her body.

"Hurry and wake up, Venus. Eternity awaits us."

The transformation process was finally complete.

Kunzite unplugged all the tubes from her body and took a step back.

The lids slowly lifted from her eyes, revealing a pair of emotionless golden eyes. Venus sat up and looked at the man standing before her. Not blinking once, she rose to her feet and stepped forward. Kunzite did not notice his own breath was quickening.

She reached her hands up to cup his face. Moments passed before she closed her eyes, leaning in and placing a kiss on his lips. His eyes would be smiling, if such things were possible and if his mouth weren't already occupied. He swept her off her feet and walked towards his chamber.

Darkness and eternity awaited them.
