She remembered. Everything seemed so clear now. As her memory continued to return to its rightful owner, she witnessed the battle between the two individuals and she couldn't bare to turn away. There was no question that Heero was injured and losing strength fast. He couldn't fight off the demon forever. Relena had no memories of what happened and she was overwhelmed by the circumstances. "Why is Heero fighting that monster?" she thought.

Heero attacked with aggression but he knew that regardless of his efforts, they were not proving successful in this battle. He backed off from Daemonicus to catch his breath and regrettably, the demon looked as calm as he had been before, without even breaking a sweat.

"Tell me," Heero yelled with his raspy voice. "Why do you want Relena?"

"Despite my good nature in taking her away from her world, and from you, I need her power of manipulation to help me empower more dimensions under my rule. I have watched her carefully and so many humans look up to her. I need that power." Daemonicus explained.

"You're such a fool demon!" Heero hollered. "People follow her because of her beliefs, not by what you claim as manipulation. They believe in her peaceful tactics. We all do."

"You might be right. However, Relena is indeed here to stay."

"You're blinded by your lust for power and that will lead to your downfall." Heero exclaimed as he started to recompose himself. He managed to keep his breathing under control now and he was prepared to take on Daemonicus for a second round.

Relena heard the entire conversation clearly and distinctly. No wonder this place looked unfamiliar to her. Apparently, she had been kidnapped once again and Heero's here for her.
"Oh Heero…" Relena whispered. She couldn't do anything but watch Heero's struggle. "He's doing it all for me." She thought to herself.

Heero positioned his weapon in front of his body with a proficient stance and glared at his rival. He figured if he doesn't end this soon, he will surely lose. With amazing force, he attacked head on and sung the sword across Daemonicus' chest. With no luck, the demon shielded Heero's move with his weapon and Heero decided that he needed to attack from behind. He threw his sword high into the air and he flipped over his adversary, then waited for his weapon to land back in his hand. The sword remained suspended in the air, twisting, turning, and with every angle, the glimmering light reflected off the sword's edge, revealing its elegance and deadly intentions. Once the sword was in his possession again, he immediately guided the point towards Daemonicus' direction. The blade pierced the demon's flesh and imploded every muscle and vein through the impact. Daemonicus didn't even realize what had happened until he experienced excruciating amount of pain from his lower back.

"This cannot be…" the demon gasped. He collapsed to the ground as he realized his position, his wings drooped down as if they were lifeless. Traces of blood smeared onto Heero's sword and arm.

"Die demon!!!" Heero said, with force and conviction. Then he pushed the sword further into Daemonicus' injured body and the dagger punctured through the other side, which left a merciless wound under his rib cage. More blood flooded onto the floor as the darkened ground was soon enveloped with a pool of Daemonicus' life force. He was finished. Heero had won.

Relena gasped at the sight and turned away from the fight. Never had she witnessed something so gruesome and horrifying.

When the creature was no longer moving, only then did Heero release his sword from him and threw it aside. He scanned the room for Relena and saw her standing behind him with her face directed away from the battle in disgust. Silence surrounded the room. They remained fixed in their distinct positions, not moving, not blinking, nothing. It seemed as if time stopped running altogether in that one instant.
