[Scene: A small bubble dimension outside Zoi and Kunzite future wedding. Metalia is staring down El, who is paralyzed with fear, and Dev, who is shaking uncontrollably]
Dev: Please. Do whatever you want to me, but don't hurt my sister.
Metalia: Worthlesssss and weak! You disssgusssttt me!
[Metalia drifts about, looking over the twins with a critical eye.]
Metalia: Foolssssss! Did you really believvvvve you could dessssttttroy a Major Goddessssss of Choassss? Lettttt alone the one thattttt will creatte you? Havvvven't you evvvver heard of the Grrrrandfatttherrrr Paradox?
Dev: [nods and speaks through chattering teeth] G-go back in time, k-kill your Mother before she conceives you, and you will never be born.
Metalia: And If you're nevvver born you cannot kill me! And ifffff you never kill me, the ccccycle beginsssss again-ssso you'll accomplissssh notttthing!
Dev: That's what I told El. But she ran some experiments and she proved a paradox is just a whirlpool in the fabric of time. All whirlpools have an origin. If we kill you, we cease to exist, but you will stay dead forever.
Metalia: [looks at El] Clevvvver litttttttle bittttch. Whatttt a ssssshame ssshe hasss to die.
Dev: Please, no. [close to tears] I beg you. Kill me instead. This was all my idea.
Metalia: Ssssomehow I doubtttt thatttt, you sssssniveling coward! [Smiles knowingly] It wassssss your "Big Daddy" who ssssentttt you to assssasssinatttte me, wassssn'tttt ittttt?
[Metalia grins as Dev's pupils dilate in terror]
Metalia: Funny how I never realizzzzzzed who *he* wasssss beforrrre now either!
Dev: No! Please! [frantic] Don't hurt our Daddy. He had nothing to do with this! He told us we had to stay away from you, so we ran away from home! I-I mean I ran away from home, and made El come with me-
Metalia: You expectttt me to believvvve that of a weakling like you?
[Drifts closes to El who is still frozen as still as a statue]
Metalia: Your ssssisssster is petrified with fear. Assss well ssssshe sssshould be. But you are too ssssstupid rrealize how afraid you sssshould be!
[Metalia drifts back over to Dev]
Metalia: You're lossssst withoutttt her, aren'tttt you? You can'ttt do a thing withoutttt herrr ttttherrre to bosss you around!
Dev: [scowls] She doesn't boss me around. She doesn't need to. I love her. There isn't anything I wouldn't do for her. I pity you because love is something you will never understand. Your creatures serve you out of enslavement-or fear. They'll never do any more for you than what you demand of them.
Metalia: Notttt tttttrue!
[Glances at Kunzite exchanging vows with Zoi]
Metalia: Kunzzzzitttte lovvvved me. With all hissss hearttt. Morrrre than he lovvved own family. He ssssservvved me willingly! Joyoussssly! Righttt up unttttil the momentttt he mettttt thattttt littttle sssssluttt-
Dev: But you never loved him back! Did you?
[Metalia stares at Dev and his lip curls in defiance]
Dev: You don't even understand a word I'm saying, do you? You narcissistic old hag! And that's why I pity you. Because all of the joy in loving comes from is having somebody you care about more than your own damn self.
Metalia: Feh! Whattt do you know? Sssuch idiocccccy runssss contrary to sssssurvival. No wonder I will rejecttt you ssssso ssssoon after your birrrrrth.
[Metalia drifts back over to El]
Metalia: But thisssss one. Thissss one ssshowssss promissse.
[Runs her hands over El's hair and where she touches it turns golden blond]
Metalia: Yessssss. Exquisssite. My evvvvvil littttle doll. Sssshe will sssserve me quittttte well oncccce I've beattten all the meeknessssss out of her.
Dev: [shaking with fear again] No. Please-
Metalia: [smiles at Dev's reaction] I will make her tttthink it issss your fault. I will teaccccch her hatttte you, jusssst ssssso I might havvvve the pleassssure of watccching you die by her hand!
Dev: Y-you won't. You'll try to turn us against each other as babies, but the more you hurt her, the more she'll turn to me for comfort, and the more we will want you dead.
Metalia: We'll ssssssee about thattttt. [Tilts El's head up to examine her face]
Dev: You leave her alone! She's too smart for your games! She figured out how to travel through time! She figured out a way to steal the Silver Crystal and turn it into a weapon we could use against you-
[Metalia whips her head about to regard Dev, who covers his mouth with his hands when he realizes he's said too much.]
Metalia: The Ssssssilvvvvver Crysssssstal.
[Her eyes brighten and as she follows Dev as he backs away]
Metalia: The mossst powerful artttifact in the Universsssse. A gemsssstone sssstrong enough to murderrrr a god- AND YOU HAVVVE ITTTT IN YOURRRR POSSSSESSSSION!
[Dev goes chalk white and hides the God Gun behind his back.]
Metalia: GIVVVE ITTTTT TO ME! [holds out her arm to Dev] GIVVVE ME THATTTT WEAPON AND I'LL LETTTTT YOUR SSSSSISSSTER LIVE!
Dev: Very well...I will...
[Holds out the god gun to Metalia]
Dev: ...never let you have this!
[Pulls the gun back at the last second, darts past Metalia, swoops El like a mannequin and leaps through the portal which closes behind them even as Metalia shrieks and attempts to pull them back.]
[For a moment, Metalia scowls in frustration. Then she smirks and resumes her Mary Worth form, taking her seat.]
[With a wave of her hand the wedding resumes at full speed.]
Father Helios: -the rings.
[Neffy produces a ringbox from his pocket and opens it to reveal a familiar gold band with a pattern of jewel that resemble leaves and cherry blossoms. Kunzite takes the ring and slips it onto Zoi's finger, while Zoi hands off his bouquet to the flower girl and takes a simple tungsten band and slips it on Kunzite's finger. Then they clasp hands, gazing deeply into each others eyes.]
Father Helios: Through the sacred vows that you have taken, and through the exchange of rings I now pronounce you married for life. Those whom God has joined let nothing tear asunder. You may kiss your husband.
[They kiss and the crowd cheers. All but Metalia, who remains in her seat, with a knowing smirk on her face.]
