Chapter 38: The Castle of Titan

"AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!"

"A Maenad was screaming when darkness burst from a Black Crystal in Hades Temple, after a Specter forced an egg down the throat of the poor Maenad, as an order given to by Persephone."
The body of the Maenad changed and hair grew black and long and her dress changed too, and then killed the Specter."
"I'll resurrect him later, Lady of Darkness, Are you coherent enough, how is the body I have given you?, Said Persephone."
Mistress 9 looked at herself, and looked at Persephone."
I feel weak in this body?, Not the first time, you might have made a mistake bringing me back?, Said Mistress 9."
If you wish to grow out in your true form soon, with enough power, I'll like you to work for me, if you do you'll be able to gather more power, and enough to bring your lover back to this world as well, said Persephone."

Mistress 9 smiled."
"And who do I suppose I do this?, Said Mistress 9, seeming to understand everything."
"You'll give me the Silver Crystal, and Destroy Saints that are warriors of Athena who have become troublesome in this unwinnable game, they have traveled to the planet of Saturn and I'm sure you're aware of Hotaru Tomoe, you can do anything you want to those saints as you please, but make sure you also work well with Wyvern to keep those saints away, said Persephone."
"Alright, that seems like something I can do!, And I'll love to get back at that Small Guardian, said Mistress 9."
Mistress 9 disappeared."
Persephone looked confused for a moment."
"Oh did I forget to tell her that Crystal might be hiding in the Pegasus Saint instead of Small Lady, oh well I suppose she'll sense it later, but I need to keep my eyes on a certain crystal, if I can just find where the Wielder of the Golden crystal is located, the human is so big and despicable now even I need time to pick out humans in this disgusting population!, said Persephone."

(Planet of Saturn, 1998)

"Mistress 9 came back to the Titan Castle, holding Chibi-Usa's body."
"You look weak, did you do something stupid?"
Mistress 9 looked annoyed, at the answer from the voice who spoke to her."
Standing at the entrance to the Castle of Purple Crystals."
The horns of his helmet stood out like a dragon, He the Specter of Wyvern: Rhadamanthys."
Rhadamanthys?, Said Mistress 9."
Wyvern Rhadamanthys came closer and saw Chibi-Usa's motionless body."
"Is that the Small Moon Princess who was causing trouble for Lady Persephone?, Said Wyvern Rhadamanthys."
Mistress 9 didn't seem to care much about Chibi-Usa, her body was useless to her."

"Yes that would be correct, I removed her crystal from her body, but another Sailor Guardian those saints have with them took it, they'll come from it eventually so I brought it here, said Mistress 9."
Wyvern Rhadamanthys Sighed with annoyance."
Really you caused them to want to come here more, looks like I was right about you being foolish, you don't understand those saints since you're not a Specter yet the Sailor Guardians who are the Princesses you understand well, said Wyvern Rhadamanthys."
Well I wouldn't want to protect Saturn, she was a pesky nuisance to me and my love; Pharaoh 90, said Mistress 9."
Mistress 9 then smiled."
"And even if they do come here, I'll make it difficult enough that you can just pick off the pieces of their courses and present them to Persephone that her nemessaries have been dealt with, said Mistress 9."

"Mistress 9 glowed and used her powers, the ground shook, and thick vines with Thorns grew sharply as they warped around the castle, once the shaking stopped."
Mistress 9 put her hand to her forehead."
"This body is too weak for me to use my powers to the fullest, so this will have to do for now, but once I'm able to get full control and break out of this form, I'll be of some use then, however if that Pegasus comes I'll like to be the one to deal with him, said Mistress 9."
Wyvern Rhadamanthys Remember Pegasus Seiya from the Holy War."
I see.....very well, I suppose I'll be dealing with the others, if you have trouble taming him and he kills you, don't come running to me, said Wyvern Rhadamanthys."
Not like I'll be running?, Said Mistress 9, as she left into the Castle."
Wyvern Rhadamanthys looked at Chibi-Usa and Picked her up, taking her into the castle where he came to a bedroom which got changed because of Mistress 9's labyrinthine vines."

"There was a whimper of little fear and hiding coming from the princess."
Princess, you haven't any fear it's just me, said Wyvern Rhadamanthys."
What do you want?, Why did you have Mistress 9 brought back!, Said Princess Saturn."
Wyvern Rhadamanthys Sighed."
I have no choice but to follow orders, if she were to harm over past aggressions I would kill her, Enough of that, I have something for you..... although I don't think you'll like the State she is in, said Wyvern Rhadamanthys."
Princess Saturn looked up and saw Chibi-Usa laying in Wyvern Rhadamanthys arms."

"Chibi-Usa?!, Said Princess Saturn."
Princess Saturn came over and Wyvern Rhadamanthys lowered Chibi-Usa to the ground for Princess Saturn."
Chibi-Usa?, She's cold?!, Said Princess Saturn."
I believe it's because her Crystal was removed, but I can retrieve it later, said Wyvern Rhadamanthys."
Who has her Crystal!, said Princess Saturn."
Some other small sailor guardian, that's all you need to know for now, stay in this room with her, until this battle is over, said Wyvern Rhadamanthys."
He then left, Princess Saturn cried a little."
"Chibi-Usa, I'm going to get your crystal back for you!, I promise!, said Princess Saturn."

"The Saints rushed to Titan Castle, seeing the Brightness of a Moon hover over the Castle of Saturn."
Look at the Moon, that's strange it's very bright and hanging over the Castle?, Said Andromeda Shun."
You call this a Castle?, Said Capricorn Shura, as he looked at it."
The Castle of Saturn was covered with vines and thrones meaning Mistress 9 was the one that did this to the Castle."
Are we too late?, Said Pegasus Seiya."
Capricorn Shura gave the Silence Glaive to Sagittarius Aiolos, he walked up to the Vines and charged his Cosmo."
Sacred Sword Excalibur!, Said Capricorn Shura, as he sliced through the Vines but then the vines he had sliced into grew black quickly, and entangled with the vines."
"Ok well that didn't work, these vines aren't normal, said Capricorn Shura."
They sprout newer vines like the heads of Hydra, said Sagittarius Aiolos."

"Pegasus Seiya looked around trying to think of a way to get in, but started to look impatient with Chibi-Usa's life on the line."
"Is Chibi-Usa really dead, like you said Shun?, Said Pegasus Seiya."
Unfortunately when i looked for her pulse it didn't beat, but I'm sure there's an explanation to it, there may be a chance to save her if we can just get into the Castle and remove the vines or maybe move them instead of cutting them down, said Andromeda Shun."
"How do you suggest we move them the roots are all over the place, said Capricorn Shura."

"Pegasus Seiya held Dione's Lamp, which she had given him when she had disappeared, there had to be a way to get rid of the vines, when looking up at the Moon near Titan Castle, he glowed and he could feel it."
That moon, which hovers over this Castle?, My heart feels at peace, I wonder why that moon is like that?, Even if it's so similar to the Earth's moon, but the I can it's different?, Thought Pegasus Seiya."

"Hold out the Lamp, its light will shine and aim towards the Brambles of Vines."

"Seiya!, said Dragon Shiryu."
Yeah, said Pegasus Seiya, as he looked at Shiryu when he was called out."
Dragon Shiryu pointed at the lamp."
"The Lamp's lit?!, Said Andromeda Shun."
Pegasus Seiya looked and saw it for himself just like the voice said."
Wait I think I know a way to remove the Vines, do you remember how Dione used her oil lamp to Emit lights from the flames helped the ghostly figures to not come closer to us, said Pegasus Seiya."
Do you think since that Lantern belonged to Dione, its light might make the Vines move out of the way for us to get into the Castle?, Said Andromeda Shun."
I think so, let's give it a try, said Pegasus Seiya."

"Pegasus Seiya comes up to the vines and puts the lamp in front of them."
As they suspected, the Vines moved away because of the light coming from the Lamp, when Seiya got closer with it, it started to clear a path out for them."
It's working?, Said Sagittarius Aiolos."
Ok then, let's head in, we have not to just rescue Saturn, but Chibi-Usa as well, dead or alive, said Dragon Shiryu."
They went through the Vines, guided by Dione's Lamp, to take them safely into the Castle and get to the entrance, when finding the steps they climbed up it, getting to the entrance of the Castle."
We made it through, said Andromeda Shun."
Well that was sort of easy thanks to the lamp, said Capricorn Shura."
I don't sense any dangerous Cosmos just yet, so we might be safe for now, said Dragon Shiryu."

"They knew they had to go inside the Castle, none of the vines seemed to be blocking the entrance as though a way to let them, once coming near the door did they realize a familiar Cosmo, then the rest of the Specters."
"Chibi?, Said Sailor Chibi Chibi."
That Cosmo, it's definitely a familiar evil star?, said Andromeda Shun."
Sailor Chibi Chibi clutched the crystal she had to her chest its pink glowed seeped through her hands and attracted the door to open."

"Walking into the room it opened up to, it seemed to be the throne room of the Saturn Castle, and they have seen it before from the memories of Uranus and Neptune, and including the memory of Dione's life which had flashed through their eyes."
This room was barely untouched by the vines, however they hung over the ceiling and the walls a little."
The pedestal was the throne of Saturn, at the wall of the pedestal, the Symbol of Saturn was covered into it."
This is where Saturn was kept during Silver Millennium?, Said Andromeda Shun."

"That's true, for a long sleep here, only to awaken during the End of the world to destroy it all, Hades saw potential in her, but during those times it was important he didn't disturb her slumber, even if he would have wanted too during that time.....but the prophesized fate which came true was to come and as the God of Death and King of The Underworld, he knew of it."

"Out of the Shadows Wyvern Rhadamanthys showed himself."
Specter of the Celestial Savage Star, Wyvern Rhadamanthys, said Wyvern Rhadamanthys, as he looked at the saints."
Rhadamanthys?!, You're the Specter guarding Saturn?!, Said Pegasus Seiya, with Surprise."
Wyvern Rhadamanthys although no expression was on his face, but the aura from his Cosmo was obvious he had despised Seiya especially since he was the Pegasus Saint and saint who wore that cloth was despised by any Specter of Hades."
Wyvern Rhadamanthys also looked over to Capricorn Shura."
And I see Capricorn got his mind back together, that's great, I knew that the power our goddess was using was never going to take full control anyway, said Wyvern Rhadamanthys, unamused."

"Pegasus Seiya stepped out, speaking to what Rhadamanthys had mentioned about the Supposed "Power of Darkness" which Persephone had apparently used on the Gold Saints of Aquarius, Pisces and Capricorn including Sagittarius Aiolos a little so far, which has held them in a trance-like state without there memories intact like it were amnesia, did Rhadamanthys know something of it?."
"Do you know something about how she did that to Shuna and the other gold saints, how was she able to do it and why!, Said Pegasus Seiya."
Wyvern Rhadamanthys closed his eyes for a moment and looked at Pegasus Seiya."
"I don't know much.....but even if I did, do you think I would tell any of you, Maximum Destruction!, Said Wyvern Rhadamanthys, as he performed his attack when he held his hands out wide."

"Wyvern Rhadamanthys released a powerful and devastating tidal wave of shock, which crashed into all of them."
"Rolling Defense!, Said Andromeda Shun."
Andromeda Shun came to Sailor Chibi Chibi's side and tried to protect her and everyone from Wyvern Rhadamanthys's technique, but this proved useless."
Aghhhhh!, Said Andromeda Shun, as she crashed back, Sailor Chibi Chibi moved out of the way so she didn't accidentally get crushed by Andromeda Shun, she held tightly to the crystal as well as she could."
The Glowing of it, caught Wyvern Rhadamanthys attention."
"So I presume you're the one who has the Crystal to Small Lady Serenity?, Said Wyvern Rhadamanthys, as looked over to Sailor Chibi Chibi."
What?, That Crystal is Chibi-Usa's?, Said Andromeda Shun."
Wyvern Rhadamanthys looked at Andromeda Shun, he seemed to be a little polite in tone when it came to Shun, but his emotions never showed any anger, he had an uncaring look."

"You didn't realize?, That Princess will stay dead without the crystal, if you hand it over I'll return it to her enough that she's able to move, said Wyvern Rhadamanthys."
He then held his hand out to Sailor Chibi Chibi, but Chibi Chibi stepped back seeming to refuse to give the crystal to him."
Chibi!, said Sailor Chibi Chibi, as she refused."
Pegasus Seiya gets up."
She doesn't want to give you the Crystal, it's better you tell us where you're keeping Chibi-Usa right now so it'll be returned to her!, Said Pegasus Seiya."
I can't do that, and certainly with the vegetation of these vines will make it impossible, that Mistress of Darkness made them, and I know she was quite interested in you, even if I would like to finish you on pass aggressions, I'll see what she can do to you first now you finally showed up, said Wyvern Rhadamanthys."

"Seiya look out from Above!, Said Dragon Shiryu."
Huh, Aghh!?, Said Pegasus Seiya, as he got attacked by the Vines above him."
They wrapped around his waist and lifted him in the air, but Sagittarius Aiolos grabbed him, trying to pull him back down unfortunately Aiolos was also pulled up into the Vines and they disappeared into the ceiling, During this Seiya dropped Dione's Lamp and it shattered once it hit the ground."
"Aiolos!, Pegasus!, Said Capricorn Shura."
The Silence Glaive was dropped since Aiolos was holding it last, Andromeda Shun had picked it up when it scattered close to him and this happened once the ground also started to shake."

"Please help me save Chibi-Usa!"

"This voice called out through that shaking but it seemed Shun could only hear it so far, as Dragon Shiryu and Capricorn Shura were occupied with what happened to Seiya and Aiolos."
And the ground continued shaking the Vines broken from the ground and also hit Sailor Chibi Chibi if Andromeda Shun by the rattle of his chain wasn't alerted in time, he jumped in to grab her as the vines pushed and whipped them around away from Shiryu and Shuna."
"Shiryu!, Shuna!, Said Andromeda Shun."
Great we lost Andromeda and the small guardian, said Capricorn Shura."
Wyvern Rhadamanthys looked annoyed."
So the princess is trying to control the vines, said Wyvern Rhadamanthys in a low voice as he was left to deal with Dragon Shiryu and Capricorn Shura."
Looks like we're stuck with him for now, said Dragon Shiryu."

"Agh?, Said Andromeda Shun."
Andromeda Shun felt he was in a dark place, but seeing a pink light moved him to be awake again."
But he also found he couldn't move, as he was tangled in the vines."
Agh?!, I'm stuck!, Where am I?!, Said Andromeda Shun, as he struggled to get his limbs untangled."
Chibi Chibi!, Said Said Sailor Chibi Chibi."
Andromeda Shun looked up and saw Chibi Chibi was not harmed by the vines and was looking down at him, from a little hole platform the vinces made."
Chibi Chibi you're alright!, That's good, Can you help me get out?, Said Andromeda Shun."
Chibi?, Said Sailor Chibi Chibi, unhappy and shaking her head."
It seemed she was putting out that she was stuck too, and where she was, it was more of a cage than a safe place."
"I see you're stuck up there, well that's not very good for both of us, but there has to be a way for us to get out?, said Andromeda Shun."

"Andromeda Shun sat there for a moment, calling for help wasn't gonna work as he knew that, suddenly he heard a voice."
"Andromeda, use that Scythe over there instead of laying around to cut your way through."
"HUH?!, Yelled Andromeda Shun in a panic, he remembered that voice before, talking to him in a deep voice that he remembered."
It's that voice again, said Andromeda Shun."
Andromeda Shun looked around, he saw The Silence Glaive just as the voice said to him, it was tangled up in the vine."
Andromeda Shun reached out to it the best he could but vines her getting tight when he moved, and he was unable to reach it."
"I can't reach it!, Said Andromeda Shun."

"Whose voice was that?!".

"Andromeda Shun heard this voice and he knew it didn't come from his head, he recognized the voice as Hotaru Tomoe."
Wait?, Hello?, Are you Hotaru Tomoe?, Said Andromeda Shun."
The voice called back to him."
"Huh?, Who are you how do you know my name!, Are you with him?, Where are you!, don't come near us!, Said Princess Saturn."
Andromeda Shun reassured Princess Saturn that he was not a threat."
No wait please, I'm not gonna hurt you, well I can't do anything because I'm tangled up right now, I'm a friend of Chibi-Usa, we came with the Saints to rescue you, I'm one of the Saints, Andromeda Shun, said Andromeda Shun."

"Wait your with Chibi-Usa?, But she's with me?, If you are who you say you are, tell me where the Pink Moon Crystal is!, If I don't give it back to her, she's not going to be able to wake up and she'll die!, Said Princess Saturn."
I would like to avoid that happening to her, Chibi Chibi holds the Crystal now but we're both trapped in the vines, I can't really move my limbs well, and can't even move my chains either, the vines are very tight!, Said Andromeda Shun."
I see, hold on a moment, I'll try and use the powers I have available right now to move them again, I just need to use a little of it, Enough for you to wiggle your way out, if I use too much energy, I'll reveal my location to her and she'll harm Chibi-Usa and me, said Princess Saturn."
Andromeda Shun was certain, Princess Saturn was talking about Mistress 9 and he knew he didn't want to get the princess hurt from her, like what was able to be seen in the past memories."
You're talking about Mistress 9 right, Dione tried holding her back but couldn't, but I won't let her hurt you, I promise that, Said Andromeda Shun."

"That name Dione is familiar, I believe Moon above the castle holds the name, I suppose, but let me try and get you out first, said Princess Saturn."
Princess Saturn used her powers to move the vines, Shun could see a glow of purple light, and the vines started to release the grip they had on him and also Sailor Chibi Chibi, Andromeda Shun grabbed the Silence Glaive too and the vines made a tunnel."
Andromeda Shun saw the exit and pushed the Silence Glaive out first and then came out, he was tugged by Princess Saturn to be completely pulled out and Sailor Chibi Chibi jumped out behind them."

"Andromeda Shun looked at Princess Saturn, she was 17 years old, as in the memory of when she was kidnapped by the Specters and Bennu Kagaho."
Looking at her dress it was different from the other Princess Dresses the Sailor Guardians were wearing."
Her Dress was deep violet-blue, she had woren Gloves of the Same color, similar to the other dresses was the back laced cape around the waist from the back only in a light purple color, and her Choker and high heels also in the same deep violet-blue color."

"Chibi Chibi!, Said Sailor Chibi Chibi."
Oh it's you Chibi Chibi?, And this is my Scythe?, And your......Andromeda Shun?, Said Princess Saturn as she looked at Shun."
"It's nice to meet you, sorry for the odd introduction but thanks for helping us, said Andromeda Shun."
Chibi Chibi!, Said Sailor Chibi Chibi, getting their attention to Chibi-Usa's lifeless body."

"Chibi-Usa?!, Said Andromeda Shun."
Princess Saturn came over to Chibi-Usa, although she was not moving, she didn't look dead at all, she almost felt like she was just sleeping."
Andromeda Shun, having the sense of to be a doctor, which he wanted to be his future came to check Chibi-Usa."
She's becoming a lot colder?!, Said Andromeda Shun."
Do you have her crystal!, Like you said right?, Said Princess Saturn."
Andromeda Shun Nodded and Sailor Chibi Chibi opened her hands which held the Pink Moon Crystal, it Started to glow and then it floated right back into Chibi-Usa, Andromeda Shun could feel her body temperature turning back to some normality, but Chibi-Usa didn't wake up."

"Her body temperature is back to normal, I Think she'll be ok now, but she might need to rest a bit after all that, said Andromeda Shun."
"You seem to know a lot about being a Doctor?, Said Princess Saturn."
Andromeda Shun gave an awkward smile."
"Well I was studying that, and Ami helped me, I'm actually a friend of Mercury.....I don't know if she mentioned my name before, although it's a very long story of how I'm a Saint and everyone else like it, said Andromeda Shun."
Princess Saturn agreed with him."
"I suppose this isn't a place to Even talk about it, said Princess Saturn."
Andromeda Shun looked around himself, everything where they were was covered in large vines, including the floor, perhaps the way he was trapped in, was once a corridor in the castle but now it was covered with vines."

"When his mind got back on Mistress 9, who had done this to Chibi-Usa by ripping Crystal out of her, it made him think about Seiya as he currently had the Silver Crystal laying inside him, he kept remembering Chibi-Usa's words from within the Venus Tower."

"We have to get back to them quickly because The Silver Crystal is inside Seiya, and I'm the one who put it there!".

"This made him think about the Danger Seiya was in right now, and that Sagittarius Aiolos also got dragged in with him."
He knew Mistress 9 was after the Crystal, and he knew he could not let Evil have their hands on the Crystal, something he understood from the Sailor Guardians in protecting that Certain crystal."
But the hard part now was, finding the way out of this situation they are now in, since Princess Saturn could move the Vines, they are also connected to Mistress 9, and she'll know where they are if they use too much energy, even so to find Seiya, they must Look for Mistress 9 herself no matter what."
"This might be dangerous, and I know you don't want to go near her, but I must go find Mistress 9, she has my friends; Seiya and Aiolos captive, I have to save them, especially Seiya, because he's in a lot of danger right now if Mistress 9 gets him!, Said Andromeda Shun."

"Princess Saturn looked sad and she looked at him."
Is it because he has the Silver Crystal inside him?, Said Princess Saturn."
Andromeda Shun was surprised Princess Saturn knew, and looking at his face, Saturn knew she got the question correct."
I could tell it through the Vines, She mentioned it....wanting him, I can tell the power of the Silver Crystal because it's Usagi's, you don't need to explain why he has it, but I know I can't let her take it, so please I want to come with you!, Said Princess Saturn."
Andromeda Shun hesitated for a moment but he knew Princess Saturn shouldn't be left behind right now, he looked at the Silence Glaive to pick it up and give it to Princess Saturn."
This Scythe belongs to you, I'm ok if you follow me, but I'll be dangerous, if I'm unable to protect you, I'm sure your weapon will do it for you, right?, Said Andromeda Shun."

"Princess Saturn took the Silence Glaive, she nodded in agreement."
I'll make sure, I don't cause much trouble for you, but we should hurry, please carry Chibi-Usa, said Princess Saturn."
Andromeda Shun picked up Chibi-Usa, he cuddled in his arms."
Daddy, said Chibi-Usa, in a low voice."
Andromeda Shun got a little nervous, but felt calm as Chibi-Usa was just sleeping so how would she know if she was being held by her father or Shun."
He was determined to protect Chibi-Usa, Ever since they Met each in the woods that covered the Safe house, where Seiya once stayed in the Care of Saori."
"Let's go, Chibi Chibi, stay with us too, said Andromeda Shun."
Chibi!, Said Sailor Chibi Chibi, as she agreed."

"They went down a corridor, in the labyrinthine vines of Saturn Castle, looking for a way to find Pegasus Seiya and Sagittarius Aiolos."

"Agh?"

"Pegasus Seiya got up, he was on the ground, and vines were under him making a flooring to stand on, he looked around him, everything was covered in vines."
Where am I?!, Everyone's?!..... said Pegasus Seiya, he stopped talking for a moment when seeing someone laying on the ground far off from him."
He had that instinct to run over in check up on them, although this would be something he would soon regret."
Hey are you alright?, Said Pegasus Seiya, when he checked he realized it was a girl, she must have been a Maenad or Nymph judging by her outfit."
The Maenad awakened and then quickly pushed him away from her."
"NO STAY AWAY FROM ME!, SHE'S AFTER YOU!, GET AWAY FROM ME!, AGHHHHH?!, Yelled The Maenad."
The Maenad released as power energy from here which Knocked Pegasus Seiya back, looking up, the body of the Maenad began to change."

"Her hair grew long and black and her body became taller than she was, her ears altering in shape including her dress, and then she was completely transformed into Mistress 9, who stretched herself like she had just awakened from a nap."
Ah, that was much better, going dormin for a moment inside my host, regenerated me quite enough a little, said Mistress 9."
Pegasus Seiya stepped back, as Mistress 9 looked at him with a grin on her face."
"And it seems my vines were able to capture you just as I suspected, now that you're alone it will make it much easier for me, to take the Crystal now, said Mistress 9."
The ground shook underneath Seiya and some of the vines burst out of the ground wrapping around him like before this time connecting to the ceiling like a tree and him trapped between that bark."
Ahhh?!, Said Pegasus Seiya."

"Seiya's arms were trapped inside covered by the vines along with his legs."
All that was exposed to him was his head, torso, and knees of his upper waist."
"Let go of me!, Said Pegasus Seiya."
Mistress 9 came up to him, smiling at him, as she lifted herself up while using her hair to get to the middle of the tree made of vines where Pegasus Seiya was restrained."
"Not until I remove the Crystal from you, said Mistress 9."
She then took out her hand and moved towards Seiya's chest but the moment she touched his breastplate a shock of Seiya's Cosmo and a familiar Cosmo to Seiya zapped her."
"Ahhh!, Said Mistress 9, as she moved her hand away from him."
Wait?! was that other Cosmo from Saori?!, But where is she, she isn't anywhere here is she?, but I feel her near me?!, Thought Pegasus Seiya as he looked around back and forth as that's all he could do to move."

"Mistress 9 then grabbed him by his neck, her nails digging into his skin."
What are you looking for!, Where did you get that energy!, Said Mistress 9."
I don't know!, Maybe the crystal isn't gonna fall for the same trick again like last time!, Said Pegasus Seiya."
Mistress 9 slapped Pegasus Seiya across his face."
Oh I'll see about it, I'll need more power to force it out, and I know my ways, so how about I take your soul!, Said Mistress 9."
Pegasus Seiya didn't say anything, but started struggling all he could, he didn't want to use his Cosmo as it's powers were connected with the Silver Crystal, which is what Mistress 9 was after, but she would still take it, if she was able to rip his soul out from him."
But that wasn't going to happen, he'll try all he could to make sure of it."

"Atomic Thunderbolt!"

"Huh?!, Said Mistress 9."
A blast of golden light broke through one of the walled up vines, making a hole and racing out of it at the speed of light, was Sagittarius Aiolos whose attack Hit Mistress 9 to the ground."

"Aiolos?!, Said Pegasus Seiya."
Sagittarius Aiolos landed on the vines that held Pegasus Seiya, he used all he had to rip the vines open enough to pull Seiya out, as Seiya grabbed onto him and they jumped back towards the ground."
Are you alright?, Seiya!, Said Sagittarius Aiolos."
Uh, yeah I'm fine now, that you saved me?, Said Pegasus Seiya, a little nervous of having to get himself rescued."
Mistress 9 got up she was more angrier than she was before."
It seems, if i can't get you alone, I'll have to kill someone you care for, make you all alone!, Said Mistress 9."
She used her hair to attack them, Sagittarius Aiolos and Pegasus Seiya separated from each other to dodge."
However as Pegasus Seiya dodged, one of the vines lifted itself up to trip him causing him to fall to the ground."

"Seiya!, Said Sagittarius Aiolos."
I got you now!, Said Mistress 9."
Aiolos look out!, Said Pegasus Seiya."
AHHHH?!, Yelled Sagittarius Aiolos."
He was grabbed by Mistress 9, who held Sagittarius Aiolos up in the air."
"Now, if you care about that Pegasus Saint so much, I suppose I'll be to rip you apart, I know a lot about you, and I think Persephone will be satisfied once you're finally dead!, And knowing you're a gold saint, your strong which means you have a lot of power to give to ME!, Said Mistress 9."
Sagittarius Aiolos felt a shock wave through him, was this the same feeling Chibi-Usa had felt after her crystal was ripped out from her body."
Aiolos tries to fight it, Pegasus Seiya gets up to help him."
Aiolos!, Pegasus Mentor- Ah?!, Said Pegasus Seiya, the Vines grabbed Seiya again by his arms but he didn't give up he forced them to rip apart even as more came he did the same thing, he wasn't going to let it hold him down."

"LET HIM GO NOW!!!!, Yelled Pegasus Seiya."
Pegasus Seiya ripped all the Vines off, his Cosmo increased as he felt the Silver Crystal activating inside him."
Mistress 9 became shocked as she could see Sailor Moon around Seiya Embracing him, as she looked up at Mistress 9, Pegasus Seiya Used a full attack of his Cosmo."
PEGASUS MENTOR PUNCH!!!!!!, Yelled Pegasus Seiya."
Ah?! AGHHHHH!, Yelled Mistress 9, as she was hit multiple times by the attack however in anger she made one smile before an explosion from the attack occurred covering everything in smoke."

"Seiya?...... Seiya please wake up!, SEIYA!"

"Agh?, Said Seiya, he heard a ringing in his ears, he got up and realized something was wrong right away."
The Pegasus Cloth was gone from him, he was in his Casual clothes, The Cloth must have detached from him during the blast, but he didn't see any of the pieces scattered around or if it transformed back into a Dog tag."
Seiya looks to see Aiolos pass out on the ground, all of the Gold Armor pieces were scattered too."
Aiolos!, Said Seiya, but he couldn't hear his own voice as the Ringing persistent in his ears."

"Aiolos tried to get up, but was very weak and he fell back down."
He looked at Seiya, and didn't seem to say anything to him as he had a depressed look in his eyes."
He opened his mouth, and as the Gold pieces to the Sagittarius Gold Cloth started to Disappear, He takes Seiya's hand and puts something in it, Seiya didn't know what it was but could feel it in the palm of his hand, felt something like metal to him and it flat."
I'm sorry, please protect Athena........and the Guardians.....Seiya, said Aiolos."
Aiolos disappeared into a dust of Gold light in front of Seiya, and Seiya knew what had happened."
AIOLOS!, Yelled Seiya, in a depressed scream."

"Seiya's eyes filled with tears for a moment but he wiped them away, when he noticed a Golden trail of us moving straight."
And then the sinister laugh of Mistress 9, looking up at her, he was shocked to see her holding a ball of Golden light, this must have been Aiolos's Cosmo."
Huh looks like he really doesn't have a Soul?, Perhaps that's because he's not really much alive anymore?, But this is all his accumulated energy that was left of him, that's all he was all this time, he's very powerful I must say, I believe this is what you call a "Cosmo", and now this Engery is mine, said Mistress 9."
Give it back..... said Seiya."
Mistress 9 looks at Seiya as he gets up, he then races towards her in rage."
GIVE IT BACK!, Yelled Seiya, as he was about to punch her."

"Mistress 9 looked at him and with a burst of energy shot it back at him like a force field making him knock to the ground before being picked up by one of the vines, he clutched tightly to what Aiolos gave him not letting go, Mistress 9 laughed again."
Sorry but this power is too delicious to even get rid of, and now that you seem to not have that armor on to protect you, you're vulnerable enough to give me that Crystal!, Haha, what's the matter, why don't you use that Silver Crystal to wiggle your way out again, I dare you to try, and now finally I have enough power to Show my true form and break out of this worthless body, said Mistress 9."
NO!, Yelled Seiya."
Mistress 9 then absorbed the cosmic energy of Aiolos into herself, the power surging through her."
Perfect, this is just perfect!, Said Mistress 9."

"Mistress 9 started to emanate shards of crystals from her back, as the sounds of cracking and stretching like bones breaking occurred."
Something dark and purple burst out of Mistress 9's body and finally her transformation was complete."
large purple and muscular, she looked like a Humanoid attached to a flower with spikes on her back and arms and white eyes."
"NOW THIS IS MY TRUE FORM!, AND WITH THE POWER I NOW POSSESSED THE SILVER CRYSTAL WILL BE MINE!!!!, Said Mistress 9."

"Mistress 9 rushed over to attack Seiya, he closed his eyes."
I'm tired of this!, She's too strong for me!, Aiolos is gone!....but I know I can't give up, I can't let her get the Crystal inside me, but how can I protect myself?, I can't just rely on the Silver Crystal's power it's not right!, I'm supposed to protect it not use it For gain!, Thought Seiya."
Seiya heard a voice and recognized it as Tuxedo Mask's voice."
"Don't worry Seiya, I'm sorry I wasn't able to do much, my powers are limited from far away where you are, but I promise, as I protect Usako and Chibi-Usa, I want to protect you too!".
"Mamoru Chiba?, Said Seiya."

"CHIBI CHIBI!!!"

"A blast of pink light was shot at Mistress 9 before she could get close to Seiya, and when Seiya looked, he saw Andromeda Shun holding Chibi-Usa, and Princess Saturn beside him along with Sailor Chibi Chibi."
She was the one who broke through the Vines to get to him."
DAMN IT!, HOW MANY NUISANCES TO HAVE TO GET RID OF SO THAT CRYSTAL WILL BE MINE!, Said Mistress 9."
That Crystal will never belong to you!, Said Andromeda Shun."
Andromeda Shun laid Chibi-Usa down, and he walked up to Mistress 9 with Princess Saturn behind him holding her Silence Glaive and ready to attack."
YOU!, SO "PRINCESS" YOU INTEND ON FIGHTING ME, YOU DID YOUR BEST LAST TIME, BUT FAILED COMPLETELY WHEN FLEEING, BUT IF YOU STILL THINK YOU CAN STOP ME, I'LL SEE TO IT THAT I FINALLY GET RID OF YOU....I DON'T CARE IF YOU'RE A PRINCESS, IF YOU KEEP INTERFERING YOU'LL BE DEAD ALONG WITH THEM!, Said Mistress 9."
Well I don't care..... this time I'll make sure you're put down for good!, Said Princess Saturn."

"Mistress 9 rushed to attack them, making her limbs long and large to slam them to the ground but they dodged."
Seiya could only watch as he dangled from the Vine, but with the blast going on he was let go, he fell for a moment before being caught by someone, for a second he thought he saw Tuxedo Mask but he disappeared."
Looks like he was right, he wants to protect me?, But we're so far away from where he is, he's using everything he has to help us from this far, Thought Seiya."
Nebula Storm!, Said Andromeda Shun."
AHHHHHHHH!, Said Mistress 9."
Mistress 9 was pushing into the walls of vines."
Princess Saturn rushed up to Mistress 9 with the Silence Glaive but Mistress 9 looked up at her."

"DON'T BE SO SILLY WITH THAT SCYTHE OF YOURS, I'LL NEVER LET YOU TO BE THE ONE TO DEFEAT ME!, Said Mistress 9."
Mistress 9 sends vines from the ground at Princess Saturn."
Saturn!, Said Andromeda Shun."
Ah?!, Said Princess Saturn."

"Roar slider!"

"A blast came through the Vines, and destroyed them before they hit Princess Saturn, the Silence Glaive was dropped, and Princess Saturn when she opened her eyes found herself cradled in Wyvern Rhadamanthys's arms."
"Rhadamanthys?!, Said Seiya."
Wyvern Rhadamanthys looked at Princess Saturn."
I told you to stay where you were, but obviously you wouldn't listen. I could understand you don't trust me, said Wyvern Rhadamanthys."
Capricorn Shura and Dragon Shiryu showed up as they went through the hole created by the "Roar slider" to follow Wyvern Rhadamanthys."

"RHADAMANTHYS WHAT ARE YOU DOING!, Said Mistress 9."
Wait is that the Lady of Darkness from earlier?, Said Dragon Shiryu."
She's hideous in that form!, Said Capricorn Shura."
Wyvern Rhadamanthys looked at Mistress 9."
"You've attacked the Princess, Lady Persephone suspected of this, which is why if you were to harm Princess Saturn, I have full liberty of destroying you then, you violated agreement you made with the Queen of The Underworld, and so everyone needs their Punishment including you!, Said Wyvern Rhadamanthys."

"Wyvern Rhadamanthys put Princess Saturn down next to Seiya, Sailor Chibi Chibi was near him."
Dragon Shiryu came to Chibi-Usa and picked her up, Capricorn Shura was with him but he seemed to look around some more...... noticing someone was still missing."
Andromeda Shun backed up too, they seemed to all know what Wyvern Rhadamanthys was gonna do."
Roar of the Wyvern!, Said Wyvern Rhadamanthys."
AHHHHHHHH!, Said Mistress 9, as she was hit by the Attack."
Roar slider!, Said Wyvern Rhadamanthys, he rushed towards Mistress 9 he sliced her with the attack and defeated her until she could no longer move."
You may finish her now, it's not gonna move anymore, said Wyvern Rhadamanthys, as he stepped back."
Andromeda Shun was the one who came closer and he was holding the Silence Glaive."

"Huh?, Shun what are you doing?, Said Seiya."
That's not Shun?, Said Princess Saturn."
Princess Saturn could tell that Shun's Cosmo shifted for a moment into something else, something dark."
WHAT ENGERY IS THIS?, WHO ARE YOU REALLY?, Said Mistress 9."
Andromeda Shun said nothing and then killed Mistress 9 with the Silence Glaive, something in his eyes was different but it changed back to normal and he regained his Senses."
"Agh?, What was I doing?, Huh?!, Said Andromeda Shun."
Andromeda Shun saw he was holding the Silence Glaive, nothing had remained of Mistress 9."
You did well....Andromeda, said Wyvern Rhadamanthys."
Andromeda Shun was confused and afraid at the same time looking at Wyvern Rhadamanthys, wondering why he wasn't attacking him or anyone else."

"The Vines started to Disappear changing Titan Castle to normal, with the Defeat of Mistress 9 they were no longer needed."
Ok where is Aiolos?, Said Capricorn Shura."

"Not like I would know or care, said Wyvern Rhadamanthys as he walked away."
"Wait Where are you going?, Said Princess Saturn."
Wyvern Rhadamanthys stopped to look at Princess Saturn."
My work is done, so I no longer have to protect you, it would be useless to continue fighting senselessly, so may we call a draw, take Saturn and her crystal back to wherever you came from, said Wyvern Rhadamanthys."
Sailor Chibi Chibi used her Staff and everyone disappeared, leaving Wyvern Rhadamanthys by himself."
You can come out of hiding, said Wyvern Rhadamanthys."

"The Walking steps claddling on the crystal floor were heard, Wyvern Rhadamanthys turned around to see an Angel."
"You're one of Artemis's Angels?, When are you going to take action instead of hiding so feebly and watch, said Wyvern Rhadamanthys."
The Angel didn't say much, he looked down and seemed to be holding something, a dog tag, with the symbol of Pegasus."
Finally the Angel opened his mouth and said."

"Only when my Goddess asks of me to take action will I do so.....she Wants to wait until she can perform an eclipse, but I will continue to watch him until his time is up, my Goddess has reached her impatience with him."
