[The kiss broke, Venus clenching at the man's uniform.]

Finally meeting you... the lovely goddess of beauty and war... at that moment I knew if I could just change one wheel of fate, the two of us might fall in love...

[The man standing before her stepped back, the mask on his face obscuring part of it. Venus knew exactly who this man was now, even after him explaining to her. Adonis.]

But... [He brought up his hand, a solitary playing card between two gloved fingers.] I was born into this world again, and raised to the status where I can confront you!

There is only one destiny!

[His hand shot out towards her, a dark energy attack coming forth.]

I- I believe you... but haven't you always come and saved me, Ace?!

I will soon achieve domination of the whole planet Earth! I am a soldier under the Four Generals of the Dark Kingdom, Danburite! And Sailor Venus, you are my enemy!

[Another torrent of dark energy was unleashed with Venus crying out in pain. As much as she tried to shield it, it was no use.]

I'll tell you your final love fortune... your love will be hopeless for all eternity.

[Amidst the pain, Venus looked up, despair in her eyes.]

What's wrong? You should look happier! Now you can go on living without having to torment yourself over the ultimate choice - your love or your duty.

...Your fate is to continue fighting.

[ All of these nightmares were truly something. He knew better than to bother with the ducks, but it was still interesting watching everyone else foolishly find themselves with one and caught in a web of lies fueled by the power of a God. ]

[ This scene in particular felt as though it was taken straight out of a novel or some well rehearsed play. Whether this was a lover's quarrel or an act of betrayal, the scene itself was worth watching. ]

How tragic...

[The sad thing was that she didn't actively search for these ducks. She had enough problems with them during Kotetsu's and Ami's dreams. It seems like the ducks were just out to get her, unfortunately.]

He- he's right...

And what precisely is he right about, may I ask?

[ He didn't seem the least bit interested in rescuing the poor woman, even though the scene looked pretty devastating. He was only interested on what the story was behind this event. ]

[God, Kuja. You're such a troll.]

I've... always chosen duty over love. Even back in the past.

Venus! He's wrong! You have to stay strong and believe in love or who will be our goddess of Love?

[It's Mercury, of course, already moving even as she looks hard at the video screen.]

Where are you exactly? I'll come immediately! You aren't alone in this!

He's... he's right, Mercury. How can I even call myself that?

[Ace once again attacks. Venus brings her arms up to block it, but she's weakening.]

You're wrong! It's not even if you've had your romances end happily. It's because you cheerfully give yourself to love that we call you that! Because you're loving!

[And Mercury bursts in at the end of this speech.]

Mercury Aqua Rhapsody!

You have no right to hurt Venus over whatever happened between you in the past!

[The attack of Dark Energy stopped, Venus looking up for a moment with almost empty eyes.]

...Mercury?

[Ace however, dodges quickly, releasing another attack.]

[She knew that blankness, that desolation, that numbness. But it can't defeat them.]

Venus! [But even calling out the warning was too much time. Mercury shoved Venus out of the way of the attack, stumbling in the process.]

Venus. I'll fight in your place. Find the source of the illusion and destroy it!

Venus...

[ It's true. Her senshi had given up their normal lives for her.. but this nightmare. If this was what her senshi chose to do, then damned if she wasn't going to make herself worth the sacrifice. ]

V-chan, listen to me! You can't listen to this nightmare! You still have time.. if I have to find you a boyfriend myself I will! But you can't just give up like that!

[But all the senshi also had a normal chance at finding love! No matter how boy crazy Minako might be, Adonis was right. He had cursed her to never find love again.]

But it's true! I'll always choose you, no matter what!

Minako..

Rei... I can't... it's true. I'm cursed...
