As the angry mob entered the castle, holding the torches as they looked around. Minako followed behind them with Nami by her side. She was so confident, so assure that she was going to win. They weren't aware that there was a little surprise in store for them.
The castle appeared to be empty as they looked around the corners with their torches. They didn't see that Leo was watching them as he hid, slowly, walking as the light faded so he could remain in the shadows.
"All right everyone. Split up and search around. I will go find this temptress." Minako is giving a quiver that had arrows in it and a bow. She walks off in the opposite direction. She planned to search every inch of the castle until Sera was in her sight. This other woman was going to die in her hands. There was no way for Yamato to stop her. After all in her twisted mind, he was being kept safe. That he wouldn't put under the beastly girl's magic spell.
Leo was glaring at them near the entrance. It was much easier for him due to being turned into a lion, he could see in the dark after all. So it wasn't hard to sneak around the angry mob and get a trace where they were going. Unfortunately he also growled at the mere sight of them invading their home.
"Did you hear that?" One of the people at the angry mob heard the growling as he moved the torch to see what the noise was; he was trembling out of fear.
"Hear what?" Another person questioned. He didn't hear anything and was just shrugging it off. "There's nothing here. Maybe this castle is abandoned? Do you think Minako's just making it up?" One of them began to question. It was like the guilt was getting too them.
"NO! You saw that beastly girl! It was shown to us.
"She just looked sad and lonely to me."
"Now, you're starting to lose it." The other guy shoved him as he was pushed forward. "Now let's move on."
Leo didn't like them talking bad about their princess. She was already in a depressive state since Yamato left. They had to stop all of them before they got to her. The door to one of the rooms opened a bit at Tusk looked outside. He noticed them going in the other direction. He sighed in relief that they didn't see them..
"Come on, Leo! Quickly!" Tusk motioned to him as he stepped aside so Leo could get inside the room. Before quickly closing the door. All of the servants of the castle were in different rooms as part of the plan. Tusk, Misao and Larri were staying in a room not far away. Due to the fact Leo was part of their group.
"How many are there?" Tusk whispered.
"A whole bunch. Like two dozen or so." Leo remarks.
"So what's the plan again?" Larri questioned.
"Divide and conquer. As a large group they could easily overpower us. Separated they won't know what hit them.
"We need to stop all of them before they get to the princess. She just can't fight back in the state she's in." Tusk informs them worried.
"Just follow my plan. Everything will work out."
"It's my idea. Quit taking credit for it." Tusk tells Leo, frustrated as he punches him in the arm. Misao was trying to control his crying. He constantly believed that they were doomed. The plan wasn't going to work.
"Quit, you're sobbing or they'll here you." Tusk tells Misao.
"I'm sorry. I can't help it."
"All right. Everyone's in position. Let's get it set into motion."
They sneaked out of the room. As they went to the two members of the angry mob that was closest to them. Namely the two that were questioning Minako's actions. Tusk blow the torch out. Larri grabs them with his large, muscular gorilla arms. As Leo screams a loud roar in their faces. This caused them to
"Let's get out of here!"
"Wait for me!" The other whimpers. As they run out of the caste.
"Nice job!" Tusk and Leo slap hands in graduate.
"Where's Misao?" They all question looking around before they spot him in a corner.
"There he is. Sulking against the wall."
"Again!" Leo and Tusk say aggravated.
"Come on Misao, the princess needs you."
"So what, she's in love with this Yamato guy. So even if I saved her. She wouldn't love me in that way." Tusk cries out again.
"Too bad Amu isn't here? Then we can still say he has a chance with her." Leo tells them.
"You wouldn't?" Tusk angry tells him.
"He like Amu, if it motivates him. Then who cares if he likes her." Leo honestly tells him.
Not long after another forms of screams could be heard form upstairs by the other servants.
"Well some of them are doing a fantastic job." Leo comments. As he folded his arms.
"Come on we should keep moving." Larri tells them.
"Right!" All of them agree. They start to head off. They forget about Misao as they drag him by the arms.
Meanwhile put on top of the castle.
Sera was looking at the magical rose. It was down to it's last petal of the magical rose. Time was nearly up. Unknown to her Minako was going from room to room. Having her arrow ready. She finally found her, given off an evil smirk.
There was nothing but silence between both of them.
Minako aimed the arrow right at her. She just looked down, not seeming to care that an arrow. That she was the target. She fires the arrow but it misses her due to her incredibly bad aim.
"What's the matter? All depressed because your so called boyfriend isn't coming back." Minako bullied her. Sera didn't respond. As she grew closer and closer, as she pushed her out to balcony.
"Are you too scared of me?! Yamato never loved you. And why would he? I am his perfect woman!" Minako coldly tells her. Aiming her arrow at her quiver again. Preparing her aim again. This time, she was going to make sure she wasn't going to miss.
Outside the Castle
Yamato and Amu raced to the castle.
"Oh no! Are we too late?!" Amu questioned. As she got off the horse. "I'll go inside and seeing how the other's doing?!" She went ahead inside the castle. Not knowing about the invaders already inside.
"SERA!" Yamato could only stare, seeing the love his life called out from the horse. "SERA! MINAKO DON'T DO THIS!"
As Sera laid on the balcony, she heard Yamato's voice from the distance. It was the greatest sound she had ever heard.
"Yamato?!" She wept out, but this time out of happiness. Yamato came back! She clutched her hand into a fist. Sera now had the confidence to fight back.
Author's Note: I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I found it so funny when Minako referred to Sera as a temptress. When in reality, she is actually the one that is. Please read/review! Let me know what you think. Sera is out of depressive/heartbroken state after hearing Yamato's voice. Now Minako will meet her match.
Also I am sorta doing a bit of a TuskxAmuxMisao love triangle. Well consider what's going to happen next chapter.
