The weather was fitting the scene before Hoshi and the Gundam pilots. She held onto Deathcyte firmly and yelled out fiercely. "Be ready for anything guys!"

Thunder boomed and lighting crashed and it lit up a scene with Hoshi and the men and Sky on Deathcyte's other shoulder. Sky flew off the shoulder and floated next to Hoshi. "Hoshi, something's not right. She is alone. I don't like this." and he kept looking around him and behind him. Hoshi's eyes widen and she threw her head to the sky. "Above! She has taken over the souls of fallen soliders.!"

Duo yelled out. "Their OZ soliders!"

And indeed, corps as rotting as anything could do over time, were floating in the sky, with mencing looks upon their faces. Their eyes glowed not a red but a gold color a dark dule gold color, lifeless and emotionless. They dived and just as they started to dive the ground began to shake as something was heading their way.

"Lovely." Hoshi groaned. "They are always the fun one's to fight." she sighed. "Demacess!"

The dark claded woman smiled evily. "Well then, let's begin young Hoshi."

"Bring it on!" Hoshi yelled as she leaped from the Gundam and landed on the ground right in front of Demacess with a loud Thud! and and dust rised up and around the young witch and her enemy. When the dust cleared Hoshi stepped forward and out of a small crate she'd created when she landed. The young Guardian drew out her sai's. "Extend!" her sai's extended. And just as she made a move to attack Demaness she saw the zombie like solider's look at her and then they jumped in the air and attacked the Gundam's. She just blinked and hoped the guys would be okay. They should be, after all she had placed that protection spell on them and that manson. The young Guardian readied her self for the battle that was to come.

Just as the young men concentrated on watching out for Hoshi moble suit's started to fly in from the sky and attack the Gundam men at the same time the zombie like solider's were.

"What the!" Quatre yelled as he braced himself for the impact that was coming as he was trying to swap away the zombies off of Sandrock. "Where did OZ moble suites come from?" he yelled out.

"Don't know Quatre but we gotta watch out. That crazy woman could have done anything to them.". Duo then grimced. "I didn't realize how...messy zombies were." he said as he sliced through a few with Deathcytes weapon and the guts and blood and other fluids from the rotting corps spashed on his Gundam.

"As much as it pains me to agree, Duo is right. We have to pay attention." Wufei put in through the com links on his Gundam.

Trowa "When you have no choice and the enemy is of the unknown do your best and fight on." he said as he dodge a blow from a oncoming Moble Suite and then broke out his gun and fired away.

Heero replied to no one in general. "Die." and cut down a Moble Suite with his light sword.

Just as the guys defeated all the Moble Suites the said large robots started to move and get back to their metal feet.

Duo cried out. "No way!" and went down as one of the Moble Suit's got him in the gut of his Gundam. "They're suppose to stay down!"

"What did you expect from a enemy we don't know much about." Heero replied.

"Shut up Heero!" Duo cried back.

"Stop it you two. This is no time for fighting among our selves." Quatre spoke through the com link to the other's.

"Tell that to Mr. Obvious here." Duo mumbled.

"Shut it Maxwell." Wufei growled as he went to his knees' in his Gundam.

"Ah!!" Hoshi charged Demacess. "I won't let you harm the people in this world!"

Demaness grinned. "Shouldn't you be worried about your friends." and she looked to the side at the Gundam Pilots. "They should be meeting the grim reaper any minute now."

Well that would explain why I am weaking a bit faster than normal. I haven't used that protection spell in a while. Not to mention it's a upper level spell. That and I used it five times. Hoshi thought as her legs started to tremble and she stared at the Gundams still fighting the ressurecting Moble Suites.

"Acually I know my friends will be fine." Hoshi smiled with a half grin.

"No. No...no...Noo!" Demaness yelled and dropped her sai's to the ground and punched the young Guardian in the side of the face. Hoshi fell down on the ground and bounced a bit and laid there, the side of her lip bleeding. Her body weak and her arms all cut up from Demaness' sai's. She smiled, she was protecting her friends.

The guy's were a bit confused. There were some attacks that should have been fatal, even some that should have exploded the Gundams, but the pilots were fine and still fighting.

"Okay. Is it just me you guys, or did Hoshi do something." he said as he looked around at the other Gundam's. "With some of the blows we've got...suprisingly we're still in one piece." the braided man said as he scratched his head.

Wufei sighed. Annoyed with the battle and with the braided idoit. "You know that this has something to with your woman. She probably did something to us."

Duo blinked and thought about that for a moment. That little witch! She probably used a spell on us or something ...and I'll get her for this when this is all over with. He thought as he kept on slicing through the Moble Suite's.

Heero came through on the screen and he nodded his head to a image of Hoshi fighting or trying to fight with Demaness. The image showed Hoshi as she laid on the ground and...smiling?! Her lip was bleeding, her legs were cut up and so were her arms and she even had some cuts on her face as well.

Duo stared at the fallen Guardian."Hoshi." he breathed, scared for her life. She was risking her life for them, for their world. And all they could do was fight these re-generating Moble Suites and the zombie soliders. No! Thought the braided man. He opened a link to all the pilots. "We have to help Hoshi. She can't do this by herself."

All the pilots shouted. "Agreed!"

Heero stated. "Mission...accepted."

And they all went in for the final blow to the evil woman. It had seemed like time was moving in slow motion as the screams of the pilots were muffled with the fear they had hidden within their subconscious minds. Their fear of losing both a friend, sister and girlfriend.

Hoshi smiled sadly. She got to her weaken knee's and walked slowly over to Demaness and slowly placed her one arm around the evil woman's kneck and hugged the confused woman to her. Hoshi shook with fear and with the happiness that she hoped that somehow someway she was helping Demaness rest in peace, lifting a burden of this woman's shoulder, off her heart that had gotten there at some point in her long and confused life of anger and hatered.

As Hoshi weakly held Demaness she shook and whispered in the womans hear. "Why must we fight? Fighting...it just kills and wounds those we love. Why?" and she started to cry. She knew what she had to do, she knew the momemt she had gotten to her weakened knees.

Demaness laughed lightly and before Hoshi knew what hit her the young Guardian was stabbed in the stomach.

Duo cried out in fear, anger. "Noo!"

The other pilots gasped and Heero's eyes widen as he said nothing but quickly opened the latch to his gundam and lowed himself down like the other's were doing with their Gundam's.

Hoshi smiled up at Demaness and cried. The moment Hoshi lifted up her sai, that moment passed by in slow motion, Hoshi holding her breath and praying that what she was doing was for the best, for everyone...even for Demaness. The last few centimeters went by so quickly that Hoshi stared at the eyes that widened when the young witches sai went straight through the white haired woman's heart, ending her life and the terror and pain she had cause for many years. Demaness started to fall backwarnds and she breathed her last words. "I almost...had you, young Guardian." and she fell limply to the ground her eyes staring up at the sky, tears streaming down her cheeks. Her red blood made her outfit shine under the setting sun. Parts of her white hair became a sparkling red. Her life flowed out and around her.

Hoshi fell to her knees, eyes's wide and tears streaming down her cheeks like they would never stop. She kept on staring at the dead body in front of her. She had done it. She had won. But why was she crying. She had taken a life before, yet it had been so long ago. She thought back to that time, she had vowled to avoid killing unless it was nessary... it was nessary in this case.

The Gundam pilots ran up to her and they all looked down. Demaness was now defeated. Quatre knelt down by Hoshi and brought her head down on his chest as she continued to cry. "It's okay Hoshi. It'll be okay. You won and because of you, our world is safe."

Wufei was happy but he glared a bit at Hoshi. He spoke his mind. "Why are you crying woman. Taking a life is part of being a solider, you should know that by now. You are a solider. Wipe those tears away. Have honor and pride what you have done for our world."

Hoshi smile faded a bit as she spoke. "I know. I know I shouldn't cry. But I can't help it. I am a solider. I do, from time to time have to take a life, it is nessary to live. But...still, I can't help it. It's still taking a life, regardless. I am happy I could protect this world. But...she looked relieved to die...I could see it...and feel it." She breathed out. Quatre squeezed her shouldern's and he knew what she was talking about. He felt the same things as she. Quatre could feel the pain, suffering, happiness and hurt of other's too. They were alike and so the blond knew what Hoshi was going through right now.

Quatre bend down his head, the only visible part of his face was from his nose down. "Not now Wufei. Not now."

Wufei just looked to the side. The chinese man didn't mean anything by it. He was just speaking his mind, as a solider. Duo walked up to Wufei and placed a friendly hand on the short man's shoulder. Wufei looked up at Duo. The braided man smiled down at Wufei, though it was weak, he understood what Wufei wanted to say to Hoshi.

Sky flew over to Hoshi in his minture form and landed on Quatre's free shoulder. He climbed up on the blonds head and looked down at his partner. He made a sad face. "...Are you going to be...okay Hoshi?" he asked a bit hesitent at first.

Hoshi nodded her head. "I'll be...fine Sky."

Just as Hoshi started to lean forward from the blonds chest a portal had opened and dark shadowed hands with sharp nails slowly came out of the portal and grab the motionless body of Demaness. The white haired woman was then pulled into the portal and was gone.

Hoshi just blinked, with sad eyes and a hurting heart.

Hosh and the guys make their way into the manson and just as they get inside and stand there in the middle of the larg hallway Hoshi leans agaist Duo and thinks about everything and thinks about Demaness and just the feelings and emotion's she had gotten from her. The white haired lady gave Hoshi no choice but to fight. In the end , Hoshi had won and Demaness had died. Then Hoshi became limp in Duo's arms and Duo looked down and tried to call out to her but the black and white haired woman wouldn't wake up. Duo grew worried and Quatre said as he ran off. "I'm going to call a amulence." and the other pilots stood around Duo and Hoshi while Duo looked at her limp body with wide eyes and tears brimming his eyes.

The end of chapter 16! XD

First I have to got say that...I totally love how the scene with Hoshi not really wanting to take Demaness's life had to and that she did but she didn't like it and how it all played out. That scene was such a emotional scene to write and I had to listen to the song "What Hurts the Most" by Rascal Flatts a least a few times...maybe a dozen or more?? something like that, lol. But I think that scene came out nicely. I love how in my mind it was going through it like a movie. I saw everything as if I was sitting in front of a t.v. and watching a show and not writing a fanfic, lol. How I love my imagination :giggles: :)

And then again I might only have to edit it, it might already typed out...I can't remember ^_^; , lol. So I hope you enjoyed this chapter...it was harder than hell to write because my idea's for this chapter came in the middle of the scene's I was writing for it! _! lol. But!
