		JUPITER KNIGHT PART IV
    
    
    Sailor Moon saw the danger Chibi Moon was in, "No!"
    She ran as fast as she could and pushed Chibi Moon to safety.  In doing
that, she immediatly put herself in danger.  Tuxeedo Mask ran, snatched both
of them up, and jumped to safety, all in half a second.  Everyone saw that
Pionicite was gathering up more and more energy.
	Pionicite insanely laughed, "So, scared now, are we?  Well, I'll give
you a choice.  You can just surrender now, the easy way, or do you still want
to try and fight me?"
	Sailor Jupiter bravely stood forward, "We will never go without a 
fight!  Till the end, I wont stop defending this wonderful planet!"
	Pionicite glared hatefully at her, not only was Sailor Jupiter brave,
but she also possesed beauty, inner beauty, and Pionicite hated that!
	"Feel my wrath!" Pionicite hollered as she threw some dark clouds 
towards Sailor Jupiter.
	Quickly, Sailor Jupiter ducked out of harm's way, and jumped and 
dodged the other hits.  As she was dodging, Sailor Jupiter failed to notice
something else coming to her.  A cargo box flew into her.  Everyone watched
in slow motion as Sailor Jupiter flew into a wall, with a loud thud.
	"Jupiter!" Everyone cried at once.
	Pionicite threw a burst of energy at her.  Behind Sailor Jupiter, the
wall burst.  Sailor Jupiter flew, she was being pushed by some invisible force
toward the edge, but she could do nothing about.  Jupiter Knight, feeling 
something bad about to happen, ran to help Sailor Jupiter.  Nothing in his
life moved any slower, he seemed to be moving in slow motion.  Sailor Jupiter
was about to fall off the side of the ship.  Jupiter Knight, knowing this was 
his last chance, dove forward.  He grabbed her hand, and felt himself being
pulled down with her.  Now, Sailor Jupiter was hanging from the ship, with
Jupiter Knight holding strong onto her.  He was using all he could to stay 
on the ship.  Almost as if somthing was pulling her, Jupiter Knight felt
Sailor Jupiter was getting heavier.
	On the ship, Pionicite was striking everyone with bolts of nega-energy.
Pionicite, seeing the two Jupiter still hanging off the side of the ship,
was ferious.  She threw a lighting bolt to Jupiter Knight.  It struck his back.
Still holding on, Jupiter Knight gripped harder, grinding his teeth with pain.
Sailor Jupiter felt all the pain he was in, holding her on.  She looked up at
him, almost crying.
	"Let go.  Save yourself!" Sailor Jupiter ordered.
	Jupiter Knight clenched his teeth, holding on even tighter,"No, I 
can't.  You KNOW why!"
	Sailor Jupiter's gaze softened, "No, I don't know why.  I can't let 
you do this.  I'm not worth it."
	Another bolt struck Jupiter Knight, this time making him scream.
	Jupiter Knight looked intensly into Jupiter's green eyes, "I don't
have much time to say this, but..."
	Another bolt struck at him.  He felt light headed.
	Jupiter Knight continued, painfully, "I love you, Lita.  Always have,
always will.  Never will I let you go."
	Sailor Moon yelled, "Stop right then and there!  I will NOT let you
destroy this pure love!"
	Tuxeedo Mask quickly pulled the two Jupiters up to safety.  Pionicite
had enough of this.  She had a beam of light from her hands, gleaming brighter
and brighter.
	"No you don't!" Sailor Moon yelled.
	She took out her wand, "Moon..."
	"Love..." Tuxeedo mask joined in.
	"ATTACK!" Chibi Moon continued.
	The combined power and love overpowered the evil.
	"Noooo!" Pionicite felt all the energy draining.  She was mad.  At the
world.  At herself!  She knew it was her last few seconds on Earth.  She turned
to the couple on the deck.  With all the remaining energy, she blasted at them.
	Sailor Jupiter saw the beam heading for them.  She stood up weakly, 
but quickly in front of Jupiter Knight.
	Jupiter Knight, still dazed and confused.  As the the light struck
Sailor Jupiter, everything blasted with a brilliant white light.
	"Nooo!" seeing his beloved sacrificing herself for him, Jupiter Knight
bolted up.  Just intime to catch her fall onto him.
	Pionicite already turned into the ash she was made from.  Sailor Moon
and the other Sailor scouts ran to Sailor Jupiter.  Jupiter Knight was now on
the floor, holding Sailor Jupiter in the cradle of his arm.  Sailor Jupiter
fluttered her eyelids, but they felt too heavy.
	"Lita!  Can you hear me?" Jupiter Knoght screamed.
	Sailor Venus started crying.  Sailor Mars placed a hand on her 
shoulder.
	Jupiter Knight shook Sailor Jupiter gently, "Wake up.  Don't go.  Hold
on."
	It took all her energy to lift her eyelids, trying to focus.  She 
saw the loving face of Jupiter Knight.  She lifted her cold hand up the
his face, and gently touched his cheeks.  Jupiter Knight took hold of her
hand and held on assuringly.  
	"Hi there.  Hold on, you can make it.  Just hold on!" Jupiter Knight
demanded.
	Sailor Jupiter sighed, "I can't it hurts too much."
	"I know it does, you have to hold on!" Sailor Moon cried.
	"Nice knowing all of you..." Sailor Jupiter's voice grew softer.
	Sailor Jupiter squeezed Jupiter Knight's hand, "Ken...?"
	"Yeah?" Jupiter Knight choked.
	"I love you too."  
	With that, she let go and fainted away.  Her uniform melted off, 
forming into her usual clothes.  
	"We have to get help!"  Sailor Mercury screamed.  First, Sailor Moon
healed the rest of the people on the ship, but couldn't heal Lita.  Darien 
heard the sound of a rescue ship, and signaled them in.  

A FEW DAYS LATER...
	Lita woke up, looking up at the soft lights above her.  She tried not
to notice the sharp pain in her side.  She tried to sit up, but yelped in 
pain.
	Ken, sitting by her bedside woke up from a much needed nap.
	Ken gasped, "Lita.  You're awake."
	"Mmm.Hmmm." Lita said weakly.
	Ken got up and pulled an extra pillow and put it behind Lita, propping
her up.
	"Careful."
	The door slammed open, and outside, standing was all of her friends.
	"Lita!"
	Serena gushed in,  rushing to Lita's side.  
	"I'm so glad you're awake!" Serena practically screamed, "You're friend
over here didn't beleave me that you would make it.  But I knew you were tough
and could take it!"
	Ken blushed a little at that comment.  Lita was overwhelmed at all 
this attention, but shortly, they had to leave.  Visiting hours were over.
Ken stayed after all the others left.
	"I want to thank you.  For saving my life." Ken said softly.
	Lita smiled, "Hey, I owed you one."
	Lita became a little flustered and stammered, "Did you really mean it
when you said you loved me?"
	Ken tilted her chin up, making her look straight into his intense 
eyes.
	"Of course I did.  Ever since we met.  Remember?" Ken whispered.
	Just then, the doctor came in.  Ken was asked to leave and come back
tommorow.  We winked at Lita, and left, closing the door softly.  The doctor
looked at the clipboard, and frowned.
	"Just how did this happen young lady?" the doctor asked as he did the
usual checkups.
	"There was an accident on the ship we were on." Lita said, trying not
to spill everything about the Sailor Scouts out.
	The doctor frowned again, "I am aware of that, but what baffles me is
why you are more injured than the others on the ship?"
	Lita just shrugged, feeling tired.  
	"You should be able to check out tommorow.  You're lucky that nice 
young man donated some of his blood to you." the doctor said.
	"Very happy." Lita mumbled, awed that Ken had gave her the energy to
live.
	The doctor left, with orders to be padked and ready before 10:00
tommorow morning.
	Lita laid her head on the pillow and sighed.  Ken was so good to her.
She didn't hink she deserved such a nice and devoted guy. Remember? ...
Remember?...Lita heard Ken's voice echo in her head. She remembered
the first time they danced. . .
	It was at a school dance.  Her first school dance,
when she was 13.  Lita was new in Crossroads Jr. High, and came to the dance
alone.  She looked around, looking at the nice decorations.  She spotted the
girl with the wild hair.  Serena.  She didn't go over there, but just stayed
next to the refreshments.  Lita was used to being a loner.  Her parents died
three years ago, leaving her all alone.  She usually went straight home and 
cried her heart out, until she was dry of tears.  Her whole life was just a
dark cloud.  Except one sunny spot.  Ken.  He knew her before the death of
her parents.  When Lita wsa kicked out of her old school, she had left all
of her old life, including Ken behind.  They still talked over the phone,
just as friends, and wrote to each other.  Lita was even more alone in
Crossroads.  Before, Ken was always there, walking with her, talking to her
when no one else would.  Now, in the new school, she once again, was a loner.
Suddenly, Lita looked up.  She had a feeling.  Something familiar.  It was
more than a feeling.  As if by instinct, she knew someone was here.  She looked
toward the door.  Standing there, was the most kindest, loving face.  She met
his loving gaze, and sent him a message.  Together, they drifted toward
the dance floor.  Ken and Lita.  They danced as if they were meant for each
other.  Moving to the smooth melody.  Later, Lita found out that Ken's family
moved to a district close to this school, and Ken would be attending.  After
hearing that, Lita's days seemed to be brighter.  The clouds lifted, shining
down was the sun.

	Lita smiled softly in her sleep.  She was dreaming again.  Dreaming
of when they had their first dance.  She drifted toward some white fluffy
clouds.

	In the morning, Lita woke to the sound of silence.  Everything was 
still.  Lita, sensing something was wrong, bolted straight up.  Expecting
a sharp pain, she winced, but felt none.  She felt much better.  She opened
her eyes, and saw intense eyes looking at her.  Ken was staring at her.
	He finally came out of his trance, "Feeling better?"
	"Yup!" Lita said cheerfully. 
	She got up and walked slowly to the bathroom.  In the bathroom, on 
the counter, was her accesories.  She neatly tied her hair up into a high
ponytail, and fastened the green balls onto her hair.  Lazily, she brushed
her teeth and splashed some cold water onto her face.  When she came out,
Serena and the other were also there.  She could tell Serena ate something.
There was chocolate fudge all over her.  Ken held her suitcase in one
hand.  Happily, she walked out of her room and checked out.  

	Back in the hotel, everyone was in Lita's room, all concerned for
her.  
	"Are you sure you're all right?" Ami asked.
	"Yes!  Don't worry, I feel fine." Lita insisted.  
	Sometimes, Ami would be so dramatic.  
	"So, how long have I been asleep?" Lita asked curiously.
	"Three days!" Mina screamed.
	"Really?"
	Now, it was Rei's turn to overreact, "Do you know how long you slept?
We were do worried!  I thought you weren't going to make it!"
	"Sorry if I caused you guys to worry.  I didn't mean it." Lita 
apologized.
	"Don't worry!" Darien said, "As long as you are okay, we're glad."
	"Mmmm-Hmmm." Ami, Mina and Rei agreed.
	Ken walked over and absentmindly turned on the TV.  He was watching
some sort of talkshow with a woman named Rikki Lake.  He wasn't really
listening, but he just watched the people move about.  In the background,
he heard the mumbled sound of his friends talking.
	Ken saw someone wave their hands in front of him.  He blinked
a few times and saw it was Serena.
	"Hello?  Ken, you still with us?" Serena asked.
	"Yeah," Ken said, his words started to slur as he felt ligh headed
again.
	"We were wondering if you would like to come shopping with us?" Ami
asked politely.
	"Are you going, Lita?" Ken asked the girl sitting on the bed.
	"No,  I'll stay here and get some rest.  Maybe tommorow."
	Ken shook his head, "I don't think we will stay that long."
	Luna butted in, "Actually, since all of you are doing such a fine
job with the scout business, I thought we could let you all stay for another
week.  Like a vacation.  How does that sound?"
	There was a round of agreeing, and cheering.
	Ken started to feel lightheaded even more.
	Darien saw that and advised, "Maybe you should stay and get some rest 
too.  I mean, after giving all the-"
	"Good idea!" Rei interupted.  
	They didn't want Lita to find out Ken gave more than half his blood
to her during the operation.
	"I will." Kensaid nervously.
	The others left to change and look for some shopping malls, and left
Lita and Ken alone.
	Ken started to climb onto the bed.  Lita looked at him thoughtfully.
	"Ken?" 
	"Yeah, Lita?" Ken mumbled.
	"Thanks."
	"For what?"
	Lita stared him straight in the eye, "You don't have to lie.  I know
how much blood you gave me.  I'm thankful for it."
	"Oh.  It's my job." Ken half whispered, half mumbled, almost falling
to sleep.
	"Nice naps." Lita said as she also crawled under the covers of her 
bed and flopped down.
