Chapter 11 – Brother vs. Brother
Diamond and Kunzite withdrew their swords, and pointed it to each other.
"Where is Minako?" commanded Kunzite
"Lying lifelessly on my bed, since I claimed that slender body and those rosy lips of hers." Smirked Diamond
"HOW DARE YOU, DIAMOND!!!" shouted Kunzite "MINAKO ONLY BELONGS TO ME"
"Well then, we'll see about that" replied Diamond
"Let me tell, you one more important thing" added Diamond
"What!" demanded Kunzite
"I killed King Magellan" confessed Diamond
Kunzite went red with anger, as Diamond and Kunzite began their battle of blades, as the metal clanged together, the silver haired brothers tried to cancel each other out.
"You have improved, from the last time we've met" commented Diamond, as he spread his wings, and took flight
"I know I have" replied Kunzite, as Diamond and Kunzite tried to cancel each other out.
****Silver imperial palace****
"WHERE IS KUNZITE?" demanded Endymion
"I'm truly sorry, you majesty I can't tell you. It's between Kunzite's brother and his love," replied Jadeite
"DAMN IT" cried Endymion, as he banged his fist on the table
"I am sorry, your majesty, I wish I could tell you, but I gave my word to Kunzite" answered jadeite
"Don't worry I may know where he could be, Generals, prepare for a battle. The 4 of us will be enough to beat Diamond" answered Endymion
Just as the King and the 3 generals walked out the throne room, Serenity stopped Endymion.
"What is the matter, Serenity?" asked Endymion
"You are not going leave me and the other princesses here, and you gentle men go and beat Diamond" demanded Serenity, as anger crossed her features
"it is far too dangerous for you ladies, to be present there" replied Endymion
"No, your wrong! My cousin is in danger, and me and the other princesses, are gifted it enormous power, that can destroy the negamoon kingdom" cried Serenity
Endymion took couple of deep breaths, and then slowly exhaled
"Fine, you can come, but please take of your self" replied Endymion
"Thank you dear. Now princesses teleport" cried Serenity, the 4 princesses teleported themselves and their husband's to Diamond's palace.
****Diamond's palace****
Everyone arrived at Diamond's palace, as they saw Diamond and Kunzite fighting, till their last breath.
"You will never get the best of me, Diamond" shouted Kunzite
"You might want to think that again" replied Diamond, as he knows his young brother inside out.
Their swords continued to cling together, as the silvered haired brothers continue cancel and battle each other out.
The King, Queen, Generals and princesses continued to watch the brothers fight their way to victory.
"Rei, Ami, Makoto. Let's find Minako, she must be the bedroom" replied Serenity
"Good idea" replied Rei, as she first time agreed with Serenity
****Somewhere in the palace hallway****
Minako limped her way to the throne room, as she carried a small dagger in her right hand.
"I must find Kunzite and Diamond" replied Minako, as she continued to limp her way to her love.
****Diamond's Bedroom****
"NO!!!" cried Serenity
"What happened?" cried the 3 princesses in unison
"She's gone. Minako is not in the bedroom" cried Serenity
"Where could she be?" asked Rei
"She must be somewhere in the palace. We better look for her before it's too late" replied Makoto
****In the Throne room****
"I made it," Minako replied softly, as she made her way to Kunzite. Lucky for her, the King and the other generals were busy with Diamond's foot soldiers.
With a final swing, Kunzite attacked Diamond's mask, which caused the mask to break off.
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH" cried Diamond, as he fainted, and dropped his weapon.
"Brother, finally your back" replied Kunzite
"Kunzite" came the soft voice from behind him.
Kunzite's eyes widen, as he recognized that voice.
"Minako?" replied Kunzite as he turned around, and faced Minako
Minako thrust the dagger through her stomach, as she killed the child that was bearing in her. She pulled the dagger out of her, and stumbled forward, as she fell in Kunzite's arms.
"Minako? What did you do?" Asked Kunzite
"I had to do it, my dear. I … I … had no… other choice" replied Minako, as tears rolled down her rosy cheeks.
"Ssssshhhhh" replied Kunzite, as he pressed his lips gently against Minako's rosy but cold lips.
Kunzite slowly parted, and looked at Minako. Minako smiled for the last, as she slowly closed her eyes. Minako was no more. Kunzite rested his head, on Minako's chest, and continued to cry, uncontrollably. The King and the other generals finished their opponents, and faced Kunzite crying over Minako's dead body. They dropped their weapons, as tears rolled down their cheeks. The princesses entered the throne room, as their eyes widen in horror.
"What happened?" cried Serenity, as she ran towards her dead cousin.
"Kunzite! Why isn't she speaking?" commanded Serenity, but Kunzite did not answer.
"KUNZITE!" demanded Serenity, but there is no answer.
Kunzite picked up his sword, as he thrust his sword, through himself, which ripped the back of uniform.
"I am going to join you, my love" replied Kunzite. As he slowly closed his eyes, and joining his beloved.
"KKKKUUUNNNIITTTEEE!!!" cried Serenity, as more tears rolled her cheeks. The princesses ran towards Serenity, as they comforted Serenity, as tears rolled down their faces. The Generals and King Endymion held their hands to their hearts, as small tears rolled down their faces. Few minuets later Diamond gained his conscious and stood up, and walked towards Kunzite and Minako.
"I see Kunzite and Minako are dead" answered Diamond
"Is there anything that can be done?" asked Serenity
"As far as I'm sure, there is one thing" replied Diamond
"Name it." Demanded Endymion
"I must sacrifice myself, to allow them be reincarnated for their second life." Answered Diamond.
Everyone's eyes widen in shock. Diamond focused all his energy on Minako and Kunzite, as his body fell next to Kunzite's body.
"I … prophecies … that … Kunzite and … Minako will be lovers and … together for the next thousand years to comes. And … all of you … will guide them until … they will remember their love for each other" these were the last words that was said before Diamond was now more.
Then a bright light shone on Kunzite, Minako and Diamond, slowly Kunzite's and Minako's bodies rose, as their wings were spread, and their bodies were sent to the heavens above. Then Diamond's body slowly vanished into thin air, as his soul looked at Serenity and Endymion, then his gaze shifted to the Generals and the other princesses. He smiled sweetly, as he spread his white angelic wings, and ascended to the heavens above, to join his brother and Minako.
