Mars was thoroughly enjoying her little work out. She disposed of her youma easily and glanced over to make sure Saturn was doing okay. Mars had to grin when she saw Saturn destroy her youma opponent, smirking with great relish.
-She enjoys this way to much- Mars thought stopping to watch the Senshi of Destruction work. It was quite an amazing thing to see. Someone so small and fragile, knock out her opponents as easily as if they were matchsticks. Venus came running over to Mars with a wide smile on her face.
"I haven't had this much fun since we kidnapped Ami on her hundredth birthday and took her to that strip club," Venus giggled and Mars chuckled along with her remembering that night in particular. Mercury had been so embarrassed and hadn't talked to them for weeks afterwards.
"Please don't bring up that night, I spent the next two days praying to the porcelin God," Jupiter jumped into the conversation whinging remorsefully as she effortlessly destroyed any of the youma in her way to get to the other senshi. Venus and Mars both burst into laughter as they spun at the same time to destroy the two youma who had been sneaking up behind them.
"This is fun!" Saturn commented walking over calmly to them using her glaive to wipe out three youma at once, as she tossed her hair behind her head and Mars gave Saturn an affectionate grin.
"Blood thirsty wench," Mars taunted her jokingly and Saturn blushed, a little embarrassed.
"Is it just me of are these youma ridiculously easy to beat?" Mercury asked curiously coming towards them and Jupiter shrugged knocking out the youma that had been following Mercury.
"They are very easy, must have a weak master," Venus concluded and Mars rolled her eyes at the blonde's sense of deduction. Suddenly they heard the familiar buzz of mechanics coming towards them and Mars let out a groan.
"Oh look, our saviours have arrived," Mars said sarcastically and the girls turned to watch the five gundams descend into the area.
"Play nice," Venus encouraged Mars with a wink and Mars rolled her eyes.
The tops of the Gundams opened and the five young men they had met originally jumped out of the Gundams with their guns blazing and Mars sighed deeply, knowing they now had more responsibility on their hands. These idiot boys were going to get themselves killed.
"Protect them senshi," Venus commanded resignedly, a little sad that their fun had been interrupted.
The boys were complete morons. The one the girls had learned was called Heero came running into the middle of the battle shooting at a youma who didn't even react as the bullets entered its body. Mars watched as the youma turned readying for an attack and Mars moved before she realised . She tackled Heero to the ground and the attack passed above their heads destroyed a building that had been behind them. Jupiter threw a Sparkling Wide Pressure Bolt and vanquished the youma before running off after the one called Wufei who had discarded his gun and was attacking youma with his katana, which was surprisingly effective, but put him in more danger than Jupiter would have liked to see, considering they were meant to be protecting these young men. Annoyed with their interference Mars pushed herself off Heero who also stood up, not saying a work, just glaring at her in his silent way.
-Trust him to not appreciate I just saved his life- Mars grumbled inwardly shaking her head at him, fed up with their stupidity, she finally lost her control.
"When will you get it? Your guns won't work on these monsters, they are useless, just let us handle this. You will only get in our way. There is nothing you can do here," that said Mars jogg3ed into a fight destroying a youma who had been sneaking after Trowa, ready to pounce on the unsuspecting Gundam Pilot. Heero watched her go and felt something inside him boil to the surface.
-I can do something, I am the Perfect Soldier- he told himself surely as he watched Mars fight. It was then he noticed that all the youma were crowding around her, locking her in, and Mars was so busy attacking she didn't noticed they were trapping her in.
-I can do something- Heero repeated to himself as he ran into the fray, his sights set on Sailor Mars.
"Mars look out!" Mars heard Venus' cry of warning and turned just in time to see a youma let out a blast and she watched it heading straight towards her, and she unable to brace herself for the impact. Mars closed her eyes preparing to die again but the blast never came.
Opening her eyes violet eyes locked with Prussian blue and Mars realised that Heero had put himself in between the blast. It seemed like time stopped for the both of them and both realised that somewhere in their past they had lived this moment before. Mars didn't even realise that Heero now wore the same uniform that Prince Endymion had once worn in the Silver Millennium, although Heero's uniform was a blood red colour, almost maroon coloured. On his waist hung a red sword that appeared to have fiery flames coming from the blade, although the flames never touched Heero. His dark cape covered the both of them and had protected them from the blast by some magical power of fate.
"My brave, brave Knight, how the mighty have fallen," Mars breathed looking into his eyes, seeing in him a past she had forgotten and Heero saw in her a past that he has lived a long time ago.
"My Princess, I would fall for you over and over again," he whispered as he bent his head and kissed her lips.
Time began again when they heard someone yelling at them.
"Woohoo! You go Heero!" Duo screamed out pumping his fist in the air like a little child and Mars and Heero broke away from each other horrified at what had just happened. Mars pushed him away form her and forced herself to glare in his direction and Heero forced himself to do the same.
"Look out you two!" Jupiter called to them this time, as the youma, who was furious his attack had failed came flying towards them howling with fury.
"Mars Phoenix Slash"
Everyone stared in shock as Heero took out his flaming sword and destroyed the youma with one swift attack. He looked back at Mars before continuing with his rampage, destroying youma left right and centre. Mars watched him in wonder, not knowing what to make of all this.
Duo had been watching what happened to Heero and all Duo knew, was he wanted a big fancy sword like Heero now had. Duo went through in his mind all the actions Heero had gone through. Heero protected Mars, then they kissed…Duo grinned as a realisation his him. Kisses. He just needed to kiss one of those senshi. Duo looked around for the senshi who was closest to him and his unfortunate victim happened to be Mercury. Without wasting a moment he grabbed a hold of Mercury and swinging her into his arms he bent her backwards and impressed upon her the most luscious kiss he could manage. It was then that Duo and Mercury both felt their normal conscious slipping away.
"Princess, I do not know why they call you the Queen of Ice, your lips are the warmest I have ever kissed," Duo spouted romantically kneeling on one knee his hand keeping hold of Mercury's hand which he kissed softly and Mercury blushed deeply.
"Your mouth speaks such lovely words Knight," Mercury blushed as she complimented him and Duo got to his feet and caressed her cheek.
"Well I may run and hide, but I never tell a lie, I could never lie, not to you, my beautiful ice princess," Duo promised moving in for another kiss.
It was then that Mercury and Duo caught themselves again and Ami backed away in shock embarassed that she had just been about to kiss this young man.Giving her a wink Duo looked down at himself and found he was wearing a dark blue Prince's uniform but to his dismay his sword wasn't impressive like Heero's, it was merely made of ice.
"Hey, why didn't I get a flaming sword too?" Duo said, devastation writing all over his face and Wufei chuckled at the American Pilot's misfortune.
"Because you are a braided baka," Wufei said as though it were common knowledge and Duo drew his sword and turned defiantly to Wufei.
"Am not, watch this!" Duo spun around and sent out his attack to the nearest youma, much to Wufei's surprise.
"Mercury Shive Freeze!"
Mercury and Mars shared twin looks of surprise and shock. What the hell just happened? Just as their eyes locked understanding dawned on each of them and both understood what was happening. They quickly turned to address the remaining three senshi who were staring at the both of them, a strange smile on each of their faces. Never had the other three senshi seen their Ladies of Ice and Fire so unnerved.
"Kiss one of them, then they will become strong enough to protect themselves, you have to kiss one of them," Mars repeated and Jupiter and Venus nodded in understanding but Saturn stood there shocked at Mars command. Kiss one of them? Uranus would throw an absolute tantrum if she found out Saturn had kissed a boy!
"Which one?" Venus asked looked at the three remaining Gundam Pilots, her eyes going from Wufei, to Trowa to Quatre and then back to Wufei who was still yelling obscenities at Duo who was showing off with his sword.
"It doesn't matter, pick any of them," Mercury said shrugging and Mars nodded to confirm with what Mercury said.
Duo had just picked her out of the blue and became stronger, it stood to reason that there was a good chance whoever Venus, Jupiter and Saturn chose would become stronger, not mattering who they were. That was what Mars and Mercury thought anyway, and they didn't have time to analyse. The youma were still attacking and they had to get the men protected before they focused on destroying the last stragglers.
"Jupiter you go get that one with the hair covering his face, I will take the loud one," Venus commanded and not one to argue Jupiter gave Venus a salute and a cheeky smile.
"Ok boss," Jupiter confirmed jumping into the fray her eyes on Trowa who seemed to realise he had become prey for he turned to face her with his eyes wide.
Venus and Jupiter lunged for Trowa and Wufei at the same time, their lips locking much to the two Pilots' complete and utter disbelief. Nothing happened. The girls waited a moment more but still nothing. Except for the sound of Duo's clapping and whistling of course, which was ignored by all present.
"Didn't work, swap," Jupiter pulled away from Trowa to converse with Venus who pulled back from Wufei wiping her mouth with distaste.
"Deal," Venus said as she pushed Wufei in Jupiter's direction and Jupiter effortlessly threw a immobile Trowa into Venus' waiting arms.
"Onna this is injustice, what do you think you are doing?" Wufei tried to escape but Jupiter snaked around behind him and Wufei only turned to run right straight into her and Jupiter smirked triumphantly.
"Oh shut up," she told him claiming his lips with hers and Wufei was effectively silenced. Time stopped again for the couple and lives from long ago took over their consciousness.
"You are bold Knight, to kiss the Princess of Jupiter," Jupiter pulled away from Wufei a knowing smile on her face and Wufei advanced towards her as she backed away, fun written in her eyes. She gazed up at Wufei with such adoration, you could see that in her past life Jupiter had admired Wufei.
"Now now my princess, you know it is you who kisses me," Wufei replied his eyes were fond as they gazed upon Jupiter as he grabbed her hand tugging her towards him and she fell against him giggling to herself.
As she looked up into Wufei's eyes Jupiter and Wufei suddenly realised they were holding each other like lovers and Jupiter shivered with revulsion as Wufei pushed her away from him, looking down at the Prince's outfit he now wore, coloured emerald green. His sword was sparking with electricity and power and Wufei drew his sword itching to use it. He took one long glance at Jupiter who glared back at him before he turned and began attacking the youma.
"Jupiter Dragon Roar!"
Venus smiled apologetically to Trowa who was as silent as ever as she leaned over and pressed her lips to his. Trowa's eyes widening in surprise but he made no move to breakaway. After all he had seen what happened to Wufei, Duo and Heero, he knew it was his turn to follow suit. Their senses swam as they remembered a night so long ago when they had kissed just as they were doing now.
"Oh my silent Knight, what makes you so quiet that you hide away form me?" Venus asked of Trowa gazing up into his eyes with an honesty so clear and fresh and Trowa hugged Venus to him nuzzling her to his chest.
"Not having you my princess troubles me," he said softly and Venus hugged onto him tightly.
"I am here with you now, is that not enough?" she whispered back and Trowa took her chin into his hands and forced her to look up at his green eyes. Those eyes that Venus felt she could stare into for eternity.
"No, I want you with me always," Trowa told her possessively and Venus melted towards him and as they lips touched a second time Trowa and Venus came to and giggling Venus pulled away.
"Nice outfit," Venus said complimenting him and Trowa looked down at himself to find he was wearing a dark yellow Prince's uniform with a yellow shining sword at his hips.
"Thanks, its almost as good as yours," Trowa retorted before he could help himself and Venus burst out into laughter, looking down at her miniskirt sheepishly. Embarrassed that he had said such a thing to loud, Trowa turned to join his other pilots in defeating the youma.
"Venus Eros Light!"
Quatre approached Saturn cautiously. He had heard and seen enough to know that if he kissed Saturn, there was a chance he would be powerful enough to protect his planet and he loved this word so much, he would do anything. Not that kissing Saturn wouldn't be agreeable with him. Quatre couldn't help but admire her girlish grace, her violet eyes and pale clear skin. She was so lovely to him. Saturn turned to face Quatre and her face turned all shades of red. What was she supposed to say to him? Saturn had never kissed a guy before in her life, she didn't know how to kiss.
"That leaves you and I," Quatre said moving closer to her and any words Saturn was about to speak died on her lips as she saw the look of intensity in his eyes. No one had ever looked at her like that before. Quatre bent his head and their lips touched tentatively at first, but then the kiss became stronger as Quatre and Saturn lost themselves in a past their subconscious remembered.
"I have waited so long for you to give me my first kiss Knight," Saturn said to Quatre blushing as she pulled back from the kiss and Quatre trailed kisses down her jaw line.
"You need not wait any longer princess, my lips are at your bidding from now on," Quatre swore to her covering her mouth with his again.
Suddenly Quatre and Saturn were themselves again and both backed away from each other sheepishly, not knowing what to say. Quatre's outfit now was that of a prince with a dark purple suit.
"I think it just got hot in here!" Venus chuckled out loud, poking fun at the Senshi of Destruction and Quatre blushed a bright red and turned away, joining his fellow pilots in the fight for the earth. Taking the black sword form his hip, Quatre attacked the closest youma to him.
"Saturn Cerberus Destruction!"
The senshi all came together watching the pilots or Knights; as the five senshi had called them in their reverie; and the senshi were impressed. The men had nearly destroyed all of the youma, only a few remained.
"Not bad at all," Jupiter said nodding her head proudly and Mars narrowed her eyes at Heero's dominating form. Without realising her eyes softened at the look of pure concentration in his eyes, something that did not go unnoticed by Venus who looked first at Mare, then at Mercury who was staring at Duo with the same look in her eyes, just as Jupiter was watching Wufei and Saturn kept her eyes on Quatre.
"Question is, what the hell just happened here?" Venus murmured to no one in particular as he gaze fell to rest on Trowa.
AN: I'm gonna end it there, cos I don't know what happened to be honest lol. I think I am loosing it! LOL Well hope you enjoyed the chapter. Next one coming soon hopefully my pets!
