Chapter 16: Memories of Love
"We got to get to that ring then." Pluto said trying to get up from the blast, using her staff to support her.
"You're right." Mars said stumbling to her knees.
"I won't let them take her." Tuxedo Mask said climbing to his feet tenderly.
"We can't give up that easily." Jupiter said climbing to a kneeling position.
"Serena is depending on us." Venus said holding her knees stumbling to her feet.
"We got to do this." Mercury said retracting her glasses.
"You scouts think you can win against the most powerful girls in the universe." Diamond said raising his nose cockily above them.
"Hah, wanna bet?" Jupiter said calling out her power, and the rest of the scouts followed, preoccupying each of the black moon clan in a one on one war.
"You think that you can win against us?" Diamond said moving out of the way of the attacks.
"Think again." Suddenly Tuxedo Mask was up striking Diamond with his staff.
"Pluto I don't know if we can hold them off much longer." Mars said.
"Lady Garnet, think for a minute. Diamond kidnapped you; we don't want to fight you. You are our princess and our leader. Do you really think Tuxedo Mask abandoned you? We're fighting for you." Pluto pleaded.
"You really believe she'll believe your lies." Wicked Lady sneered, but Lady Garnet looked taken back. Wicked Lady moved over to fight Pluto herself.
Suddenly Diamond was behind her again, grabbing her shoulders, whispering in her ears. "He can't even defend you, but here I am with all my warriors making sure nobody takes you from us." She looked to see Tuxedo Mask on the ground once again, seemingly since he couldn't float like the Diamond could. Diamond sneered in his direction, smiling close to Lady Garnet, pressing the side of his face against hers.
Tuxedo Mask looked away. He hated seeing her so close to the evil man.
"Maybe we should see who really deserves you…" Diamond said disappearing from behind her, to a few feet above Tuxedo Mask.
Lady Garnet was taken back for a moment. She looked at Tuxedo Mask and she couldn't deny she had felt something stir in her. Like she didn't want him to get hurt, or die.
"Goodbye Tuxedo Mask." Diamond said raising his hand.
The scouts all looked over, hopeless in their own battles against the Black Clan.
Suddenly the dark crash cracked in the air. They all looked over to see Lady Garnet standing where Diamond was, Diamond off to the side, Tuxedo Mask on the ground, and a large dent in the crystal portal floor off to the side.
I will try to update more. I know it is a short chapter but I'm setting up for a big surprise and a grand finale where a surprise someone may intervene. Ou but who? And why? And how?
