Enjoy!

PS. Thanks for the reviews! And don't worry, I never intended Tuxedo Mask to be Wesley. I was merely pondering which man I would rather have fight to the death for me...hmmm...close one...


FEZZIK: Why do you wear a mask? Were you burned by acid, or something like that?

MAN IN BLACK: Oh no. It's just that they're terribly comfortable. I think everyone will be wearing them in the future.

Amy stood on the lush green hill, squinting at the dark figure running closer and closer.

"What?" She jumped back in surprise. "Inconceivable!"

Amy turned and stomped towards Lita, who was sitting with Serenity under the shade of a large tree.

"Come on, Princess." Amy harshly pulled Serenity to her feet. Lita rose to follow, but Amy stopped her.

"You, Giant. Catch up with us quickly; finish the Man…"

"Tuxedo Mask." Lita interrupted.

"Whatever! Finish him off. Your way." Amy's eyes flashed with a devilish tint. Serenity squirmed at her side, determined to break free; she was surprised to see how strong the Mercurian's grip was.

"My way." Lita stood and brushed the dirt off her backside. "My way….what's my way? I have never had to 'finish someone off' before."

"ARG!" Amy let out a frustrated groan. She stepped closer to Lita, violently pulling Serenity along. Amy only came up to Lita's elbow, but she still managed a fierce intimidation. "Hide behind a tree, and when Tuxedo Mask comes running up the hill, strike him down! Don't you Jupitarians have some sort of power?"

"Yah, we do. You want me to zap him?" Lita was slightly aghast.

"YES!" Amy turned and ran off deeper into the hills, Serenity in tow.

"My way's not very sportsmanlike." Lita frowned. She looked the sky, and closed her eyes in concentration. Raising her arms and bringing them downwards, a cackle of electricity sparked around her. Green energy and bolts of light encased her. In a few seconds, the lights died down, and Lita stood, clad in a green sailor uniform, her eyes sparkling with energy. She dashed behind a tree.

In a few minutes, Lita could see a top hat bobbing up and down in the horizon, and soon the entirety of Tuxedo Mask appeared over the hill. He was breathing heavily from the demanding uphill trek, but he did not stop to catch himself. Lita was amazed at his dedication to catching them; she wondered briefly what it is he is seeking. When she noticed he had almost passed her, she stepped out from behind the tree.

"Jupiter, Thunder, Crash!" She shouted, and a lightening bolt struck the ground a few inches from Tuxedo Mask.

He turned his head swiftly, his heart beating faster than it ever had before. Instinctively, he whipped out his cane. Tuxedo Mask took in the appearance of the giant goddess before him. Her eyes were alight with power and electricity rang throughout her body.

"I did that on purpose. I don't have to miss." Lita calmly stated, although a bit of amusement rang in her words.

Tuxedo Mask released the breath he had been subconsciously holding. Slowly, very slowly, as if not to startle her into another attack, he rotated his body towards Lita. "I believe you. What happens now?"

Lita quirked an eyebrow at the man. "As I figure it, we both deserve a chance to fight. So we face each other, as the goddess intended it. No tricks, no powers, skill against skill. What do you say?"

"Well….I don't think I can say no after seeing that fireworks display." Tuxedo Mask chuckled nervously.

Lita smiled. "Agreed. Alright, you put down that cane, I'll put down my lightening."

"Agreed." Tuxedo Mask slowly retracted his cane and stowed it safely in his hidden pocket.

Crash. An angry thunder clap caught Tuxedo Mask off guard and he jumped a bit.

"No tricks now." Lita moved closer to him, standing in fighting stance. "Come on. Let's get it on!"

Tuxedo Mask raised his eyebrow at the giant.

"Oh, come….you know what I mean." She sighed in exasperation. "Fight!"

Tuxedo Mask and Lita stood facing each other for a moment, sizing each other up. After a moment's pause, Tuxedo Mask took a running start at Lita, hoping the full force of his weight might knock her down.

Thump. The only person who fell was Tuxedo Mask, who wincingly rubbed the spot of his arm that made contact with Lita. She hadn't even budged. She just stood, grinning at him.

Tuxedo Mask rose again, and continued to try and attack Lita, attempting to twist her arm behind her back, slam her off balance and wrestle her to the ground. She still did not move from her spot.

Tuxedo Mask took another running leap at Lita, only to fins him self being held at arm's length away by…well….her arm.

Lita held Tuxedo Mask in the classic arm-on-forehead attack, laughing as he struggled to throw a punch at the Jupitarian. His top hat still lay anchored to his head, only slightly askew.

"You…know…this ins't really fair…."Tuxedo Mask grunted between punches (which only met air).

"It's not my fault I'm the biggest and strongest. You know I don't even exercise?" Lita smirked at the writhing man.

Tuxedo Mask pushed himself away from the Giant, and stared up at her incredulously. "So you are just messing around with me?"

Lita shrugged. "I wanted you to feel like you were doing well."

"Oh." The two stood again in silence, a wind blowing softly with a small whooshing noise. A few errant leaves fell from the nearest tree and danced to the ground.

"You know, you are quite cute. You remind me of my old boyfriend." Lita cocked her head to the side and stared at Tuxedo Mask. "But why are you wearing a mask?"

"I like masks. Dangerous and mysterious, you know." Tuxedo Mask replied back, searching his opponent for a weakness.

"Ah. I figured maybe you had been hit by a Uranium acid bomb or something. My mistake!" At that last word, Lita lunged at Tuxedo Mask. He dived quickly, narrowly avoiding her outstretched arms. He ducked behind her, and quickly jumped on her back, encircling her throat with his arms.

Above, dangerous looking rain clouds swarmed.

"You know, this isn't very gentleman like." Lita squeaked out, trying to remove the arms from her throat.

"Why do say that?" Tuxedo Mask winced in pain as Lita rammed him against the side of a tree.

"Well, normally a man takes me out to dinner before I dream of letting him this close." Lita twirled in a violent circle, trying to throw Tuxedo Mask off. His grip was tightening around her throat.

"I sure with me you could make an…….exception." That last word escaped as a gasp as Tuxedo Mask's windpipe was crushed up against a rock.

Lita was surely slowing now, and started to fall to her knees. "You are right…. I always had…..a weakness…..for cute guys…" Lita fully collapsed on the ground. Tuxedo Mask released his iron hold grip, and checked Lita's pulse.

Sighing with relief, Tuxedo Mask stood and wiped his hands. Procuring his cane from his pocket, Tuxedo Mask straightened his hat and cape.

"Thank you for the fair fight, milady. I don't envy the headache you will have when you awake. In the mean time, rest well…and dream of handsome….large….men."

He took off running further into the hills.


IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
On the canyon's edge, a party of about ten horses stood. One man was on the ground, seemingly crazy as he danced around the fallen rocks. Rose petals littered the ground, and ashy looking blast marks covered some rocks.

"There was a mighty duel." Price Diamond stopped his prancing around and stood up straight. "They were all over the place, both masters of what they do."

"What's with the roses?" A man spoke up. He sported fierce black hair that looked almost blue with eyes just as black. He wore a bandana around his forehead, as many men did to catch the falling sweat.

Diamond looked up. "An attack. I knew of its existence, but never of its practice. I wonder who…" Diamond looked into the distance, lost in thought.

"Well?" The man prodded. "Who won?"

"Sapphire, hold patient." Diamond walked around a little bit and stopped at a large imprint in the dirt. "The loser fell…." His eyes wandered up. "And ran off alone." Diamond twisted sharply and shielded his eyes against the sun. He looked to the hills. "The winner followed those footprints towards the Earthen Capitol!"

Sapphire adjusted his shoulders. "Shall we track them both?"

Diamond turned towards his party. Angered dripped from his words. "The loser is nothing, only Princess Serenity matters. Clearly, this was planned by Earth! We must be prepared."

Sapphire gazed worriedly at the horizon. "Could this be a trap?"

Diamond swiftly mounted his horse. "Everything is a trap." He clicked his heels and led the party off towards the hills.


So here's my thinking. Endymion is way hot, but Wesley is an actual human being...not that I would have a better chance with him...hmm...
