Chapter XIV

“Show yourself coward!” Hiero demanded the room erupted in black lightning

“I am not a coward!” Ken'ichi yelled appearing before the boys

“You were too afraid to fight Lita head on so you took the coward's way out and hit her in the back!” spat Duo; Ken'ichi started to shake with anger. Suddenly the roof ripped off and a very angry Ryuu landed snarling and growling.

“Who hurt Lita?” snarled Ryuu,

“Ken'ichi shot her in the back with Dark Jupiter Thunder storm.” Said Hiero, Ryuu roared with in seconds the elder dragon and others were sitting on the edge of the walls looking in, Ken'ichi swallowed hard and started to sweat

“What has happened Ryuu?” Asked the elder Dragon

“Ken'ichi struck Lita with Jupiter Thunder Storm, in the back.” Said Ryuu, all of the dragon's eyes blazed emerald green, a black hole opened behind Ken'ichi and he retreated into the hole, Ryuu swiped at the hole just as it dissipated; Ryuu turned back to his comatose Mistress,

*~~~*

Several days' later Lita lay in her bed, in her coma like state with Hiero at her side; his forehead was resting on his hands he looked like he was praying. Duo quietly stepped into her room, the only light came from a small lap on small end table at edge of her bed.

“I never figured you for the praying type Hiero.” Said Duo standing next to Hiero placing his hand on his shoulder

“If it would bring her back I would go to the edge of the universe.” Hiero rubbed his eyes and looked up at Duo

“Any change?”

“Nothing, why aren't you worried?” asked Hiero, he began to suspect the this wasn't Duo, Duo would act more worried not so calm

“I've been on you laptop sense we got back, looking for anything we could do, and I couldn't find anything.” Duo started to pace around the room

“We have all this power and ability, and I'm helpless to save the one person who's ever really cared about me.” Duo chocked out the last words

“Where's everyone?” Asked Hiero

“Quatre, Trowa, and Wufei are back at the safe house working on the Gundam's, only God knows where Ryuu, Lily with the Jade Emperor trying to convince him to send his army after Ken'ichi but it's not looking promising.” Answered Duo

“Little good it dose us now,” Said Hiero sarcastically

“Yea, I'm going back online see if I can find anything that might help us.”

“Hun,” Duo sighed deeply and left the room shaking his head, Hiero looked over to a dark corner of the room sitting there was Ryuu, and Hiero could just make out his shape

“So finely come too check up on Lita, I thought it was your duty to protect her.” Spat Hiero

“Watch it human, I was out fighting an army of Youma's, while you were running away, so do not lecture me about protection!” snarled Ryuu, Ryuu took deep breath trying to calming himself down

“Do you love her?” asked Ryuu, Hiero eyes blazed at Ryuu what kind of question was that, in a time like this

“Whenever I'm not with her, when I can't hear her voice or her laugh, my soul aches, she is my missing half. She is the first person for a far back as I can remember to stir real emotions in me, so yes, you could say I love her and so much more.” Hiero would not look at Ryuu, sighing Ryuu stepped into the light

“The other Dragon's are furious with Ken'ichi for what he did to Lita, so they told me of a way to bring Lita back to the world of the living.” Hiero perked up a bit his frail hope flickered with new life

“Tell me, I'll do anything?”

“It's been done before but not by a human so only one will be able to go, and I've chosen you Hiero, you truly love Lita and only her true love can travel safely into her dreams and find her.” said Ryuu his face and body half-hidden by shadow and half-revealed by light transfixed Hiero. He had never really taken the time to admire Ryuu his was truly beautiful.

“Her dreams,”

“Yes, Jupiter Thunder Storm is the most powerful attack of Jupiter, only its' King or Queen can use it, if a person whoever it is, is hit directly it will kill them, but if only a small amount hits them, then they are sent into a coma. The reason Lita's spirit left her body is that Ken'ichi has found his way into Lita's dreams he can create anything he wants bring her back to a time before you met. Change the outcome of an event or he could be torturing her right now in her dreams but she is not screaming so it does not look to be that way but he might have fixed it so her physical body doesn't feel the effect of her spiritual one.”

“Let's do it.” Said Hiero fire burning in his eyes,

“When you enter Lita's mind you'll encounter Ken'ichi's idea of the world or Lita's worst nightmare, Lita most likely wont know who you are but she'll have a sense of you, are you ready?” explained Ryuu

“Hun,” Ryuu closed his eyes and concentrated, Ryuu was surrounded by a soft green light, the light grew larger, and larger Hiero closed his eyes and let himself be overtaken by the light. When Hiero reopened his eyes he was standing in the middle of a destroyed city, buildings were collapsed, a light breeze blew up the street, papers flew past Hiero several of the buildings still stood, but they were threatening to fall any second, Hiero began to clime what appeared to be the most sound of all of them.

Hiero looked over the ruined city in the distance was a large structure the only structure that wasn't destroyed or damaged in anyway, from the distance Hiero couldn't make out what it was but he knew he would find Lita there. For hours, Hiero walked threw a black forest, not just the dark, and leafs of the trees but the animals as well. Hiero bushed back some bushes to revile a large black castle it was Japanese in origin but that particular stile hadn't been used in 1200 years, about 500 yards from the castle was a large pit mine. Hiero stealthily made his way over to the mine sitting at a safe distance Hiero tried to make out the figures working the mine.

`I wish I had a pair of binoculars.' Hiero thought, and as if the dream read his mind a pair of powerful binoculars appeared next to him,

`It must be Lita; her subconscious must know I'm here.' Looking threw them Hiero discovered the people working the mine was the inhabitance of the destroyed city plus four others, Trowa, Wufei, Quatre, and Duo.

“Ken'ichi idea of a perfect world is one of slavery.” Hiero slowly made his way to the mine his best bet to figuring out how to brake into the castle and or figuring out what happened, he stealthy made his way threw the mine oddly there were few guards with a mockingly amount of fire power. Hiero found Duo near the edge of the mine, Duo still had his long braid, but his priest outfit was torn and practically rags.

“Duo?” Hiero tried to get his attention, Hiero threw a rock at Duo head Duo turned his face was dirt covered various bruises, Duos' tiered face lighted at the sight of his best friend.

“I knew they couldn't keep you locked up for long, man?” Duo pretended to continue working so he did not attract attention.

“What happened here, how did Ken'ichi gain control?” Dou looked at Hiero with a confused look

“What are you talking about? You know best of all, that bastard Ken'ichi attacked with his army and destroyed any resistance, Earth and the Colonies surrendered after just three days of fighting. You were imprisoned in the Black Fortress while the rest of us are here in the mine.” Explained Duo, he didn't understand why Hiero was acting like he knew nothing of this it should be burned into his brain

“What about Lita and the Jade Emperor?” Hiero asked, he hoped her existence was known in the dream world then it would be easier to find her

“Did they experiment on you in there or something man, I never heard of a Lita or a Jade Emperor?” then it became clear to Hiero this is what the world be like if Lita had never come to the Shadow Universe

“Listen Duo, I'm going to fix this, I'll find Lita and release her from wherever she is being held, and this will go back to the way it should be.” Said Hiero, Duo groaned frustrated

“Who is Lita?” Duo nearly yelled

“Your sister, she left with a Japanese dragon to go to another universe when you were a kid, she is the only one who can save us from Ken'ichi.” Duo's eyes grew wide and teary

“You… You know about her.” Asked Duo

“Yes Duo, I know her, she saved our world from this fate in the real world and it's time for her to do it again.” Hiero watched the guards as they kept stuffing there faces with chicken

“I'm coming with you man.” Hiero nodded at Duo, Duo and Hiero moved swiftly threw the castle it wasn't hard for them to break in, after all they were Gundam pilots, Hiero noticed all of the guards and small burn marks on there necks it almost looked like a black dragon, Hiero looked back at Duo he had the same mark, Duo noticed Hiero looking at his neck,

“Ken'ichi brands all his slaves, all of his guards are former slaves, if the pledge their loyalty to him and serve him unconditionally they are giving their freedom in return. Freedom can be a powerful motivator Hiero.” Hiero's training kicked in he started to doubt Duos' willingness help him, his training told him to kill Duo on the spot just to be safe, but Lita's lesson's in humanity interrupted those thoughts, Duo and Hiero moved threw the halls looking for any sign of Lita or a prison cell by the time they got completely frustrated they had only search half of the castle.

“It's no use man; we'll never find her like this.” Hiero knew Duo was right but he still didn't trust Duo enough to split up

“Fine we'll just ask someone.” Hiero reply, and just as fate would have it a guard was walking down the hall, he wore green Samurai armor, Hiero grabbed him and pinned him to the ground, he was just a kid barely out of his teens

“All right tell us where Lita is?” asked Duo treating to punch him

“What are you talking about who is Lita?” asked the scared guard, Duo punched him hard in the stomach,

“She has brown and green eyes, she is being held prisoner.” Said Hiero, not treating to beat the snot out of the kid if he didn't tell him where Lita was

“There is only one woman that doesn't serve Lord Ken'ichi, she is Lady Makoto, she is being held in the south tower.” The guard said, Duo started to choke the guard

“You are no better then Ken'ichi helping to enslave your own people, you deserve to die.” Tears formed in Duos' eyes all the pain he suffered from the hands of Ken'ichi and the people who served him, taken out on this one boy. Normally Hiero would have sat there and watch the life drain from this boy; he would let Duo take his revenge.

Duo felt a hand on his shoulder urging him to stop, Duo looked behind him his eye letting few tears escape them, it was Hiero, and Duo looked at him asking why?

“Don't kill him Duo, if you kill him you become no better then him.” Duo let down guard and the tears flow freely, Duo punched the guard knocking him unconscious

“Thanks man.” Hiero nodded, Hiero loved the feeling he had when he stopped Duo, as if he was free for the first time in his life he was truly free, they found the south tower with little effort, and it was not difficult to brake in for Hiero and Duo. They found Lita in a dark room flouting in mid air, she was surrounded in Dark Lightning being feed from two large black crystals, Hiero tried to destroy one with a wooden chair but a barrier dissolved it. Hiero and Duo threw everything in the room at the barrier but nothing would penetrate it, finally exhausted and out of things to throw Hiero collapsed to his knees crying.

“I'm sorry Lita, I came here to save you, and all I did was trap us both here, with all this training I can't save the one I love, you are going to be trapped in that prison forever, I'm sorry, I'M SORRY!” he screamed a single tear dripped down his cheek, that single tears dropped from his chin hitting the barrier of the generator, when the tear hit the barrier it shimmered a brilliant white light and the crystal cracked and quit working and the other wasn't strong enough to hold Lita up so it too quit working, Lita feel into Duos' waiting arms.

“Lita, come on wake up please.” Duo pleaded to no avail

“What's wrong with her?” Duo asked

“I don't know Duo but I have an idea, I think Ken'ichi is preventing her from waking up some how.”

“But how can he do that, Hiero?”

“It's a long story, but that's not important, we have to get out of here first.” Said Hiero, the hairs on Hiero's neck stood up as the door behind them hissed open, Hiero and Duo were struck with black lightning before they could even turn around, they were slammed into the wall hard leaving the unconscious form of Lita in the middle of the room, Hiero tried to move but was paralyzed by the pain caused by the black lightning he could barely move his head to look at his attacker.

“Ken'ichi, I should have known it was you from the moment I was hit.” Hiero's voice strained and raspy, trying to get up

“Oh really, and what makes you so astute in knowing such things?” questioned the over pompous man

“You clam to have all this power, but you are a coward for not facing your enemy head on.” Ken'ichi scowled at Hiero, Ken'ichi threw another bolt at Hiero, he grunted in pain, determined not to give him the satisfaction of screaming

“And what makes you any less of a coward then me? Well, ANSWER ME BOY!” Ken'ichi demanded angry

“I know I've done horrible things in my past and I can never change them all I can do is work to make my future better.” Ken'ichi grunted and hit Hiero again with black lightning

“Somehow Makoto is able to block her mind from me, so I can't learn her most hidden secrets, but you'll do nicely I'm sure she has told them to you and if not I'll still get kicks out of torturing you.” Ken'ichi smiled evilly, Hiero just laughed Ken'ichi looked at him puzzled

“Save your energy coward, I've been tortured my whole life whatever you do to me can never come even close to the things that have already been done.” Ken'ichi's face grew even angrier and continued to electrocute Hiero, suddenly a giant storm started to rage above the tower, a large bolt of while lightning struck the tower braking threw the roof and hitting Lita, when the bolt faded Sailor Shadow Dragon stood in the center, with small bolts jumping off her

“NO!” Ken'ichi tried to attack Shadow Dragon but he couldn't even get a spark off

“No, it's not possible how could you brake free?” Ken'ichi screamed, Shadow Dragon just scuffed a laugh

“You are a fool, when Hiero told you about his past he expressed his feelings and his love, and his love awoke me from your spell you of all people should know nothing can stand against true love.” Shadow Dragon looked up into the clouds and a huge bolt hit Ken'ichi and he was disintegrated, Lita ran to Hiero's side holding him in her arms

“Thank you Hiero, for saving me.” Hiero and Lita where envelop in a bright white light, the next thing he knew he was woke up next to Lita sliming to him, Lita stranded herself to get up but Hiero stopped her

“Don't, your still weak from your coma,” Lita put her hand around Hiero's face and kissed him, the moment her lips touched his, everything melted away the walls, bed, even the floor, they were flouting Hiero didn't know or care where only that he was holding his one love. When Hiero opened his eyes he wasn't in any room he was flouting in space amongst the ageless stars, swirling galaxies, and powerful planets, Hiero look around with bright amazing eyes like a child who had just seen the beauty of the stars for the first time, he looked over to Lita she was wearing the beautiful green gown he wore before, she shimmered a jade green, her eyes held the galaxies themselves her smile the kindness of the pure essence of kindness.

“Where are we Lita?” Hiero asked

“Does it matter; we are together and always will be. But to answer your question, we are in the Galaxy Cauldron this is the place where all Sailor Soldiers are born, our souls are born here, I guess you could say, we are in the birth place of the universe.” She answer in a mythical voice almost as if she was an ageless being

“Why are we here?” Hiero asked

“When a soul is first born it is whole, but when it is born into a child it's splits in two and the other half is born into another child, now the soul calls out is other half threw out the universes, sometimes a soul wont find its other half in a single life time so it keeps searching for as long as it takes to find its other half but when it finally finds its other half the souls call out threw out the universe and in the next life time the souls make sure they are born close together so they may find each other.” Lita finished Hiero couldn't explain the feeling inside him at that moment was an indescribable feeling of great and instance joy

“Is that what I am feeling right now, is my soul calling out in joy because it found its' other half?” Hiero asked his eye filled with stars

“Yes Hiero, our half souls have become a whole soul, or we are soul mates.” Lita took Hiero's hands in hers, Lita smiled and even Hiero smiled but it wasn't scary it was happy and made you feel good inside

“I love you Lita,” Hiero leaned in a kissed her, and at this union the Stars, Galaxies, and Planets rejoiced that two souls have once again become one again…….

End Chapter:

 

This was the ending of Hero before I revamped it but during my revamping I thought up a new idea for this book and I loved it so much I had to continue this story.
