Iceheart blinked in surprise. "Y-You want me to marry you!?" she repeated in awe as Death Star's statement. "W-Why yes, I would....oh, lover!" she exclaimed and wrapped her arms around him. "I would marry you in a heartbeat...."

Death Star smiled wildly, happier than he had ever felt before. Kissing her again, he began to talk about their future when suddenly a twig snapped and they both turned around to see a Maverick standing there, his eyes opened in awe. They both recognised the symbol on his shoulder and Death Star blasted off one of his legs, stopping him from running if he tried.

Walking over to him, he picked him up in the air. "What are you doing here!?" he shouted in rage at the Maverick, who trembled in terror.

"N-North Star has us setting up a missile attack system a few hundred meters that way...we're going to fire it at the MHHQ....I was just out on scanning the area...on patrole, you know!? P-Please don't kill me," the Maverick answered. Death Star cursed. It never ended...his friends' lives were in danger because of his connection to North Star.

Dropping the Maverick, he turned to Iceheart. "Stay here. I'll be back in a few minutes. I would love to stay here with you, but the dreams...I gotta go. I'll be back shortly," he told her and began to run into the forest.

"I'll be waiting, lover..."

Death Star leaped into the air and landed behind a log, over looking the small campsite that North Star had thrown together. He didn't know how the hell his foe had known they would be near here, but he did know he was going to defeat North Star once and for all. That very night would decide the victor. Spying on the base, he charged his blaster and began to head towards it. Suddenly a ton of Mavericks jumped out on him. Blasting one through the chest, he grabbed his saber and blasted three more with his cannon as he slashed one.

The battle continued as he attacked the Mavericks viciously, venting all his anger of the past four days on them. A few minutes later, he found himself standing among their dead bodies. Sighing angerily, he ran off towards the missiles that where beginning to rumble. Looks like someone had started the launch sequence.

Iceheart threw a rock against her prisoner as she waited on Death Star. 'Oh, things are finally going to be great....I'm going to marry the world's greatest guy...soon, soon...' she thought to herself when suddenly she heard a twig snap behind her. Flipping around, she saw North Star standing there, smirking evilly. "Hello, Mrs. Star...."

Death Star broke into the control room to the missiles and blasted the two Mavericks away that were controlling the missiles. Dashing over to the controls, he turned off the launch sequence and the missiles immidiately stopped rumbling. Smirking, he blasted the controls to bits, making the missiles completely useless. Gazing up at the stars, finding Jupiter, he winked at this friends. He had stopped his nightmares by...not...sacrifising them for Iceheart. Suddenly he felt a chill run down his back. What had he sacrifised!?

Iceheart stepped back in panic. North Star stepped up and raised a strange weapon. "Oh, don't worry...your happiness will soon be over...to cut out Death Star's soul, heart, and mind is to kill you, I see now, Mrs. Star....so, goodbye..." he snarled and fired the weapon at Iceheart. A thick spike slammed into her chest, staying there as it began to spark. Iceheart fell down, seemingly unphased though battery fluid leaked out the hole in her chest.

"OW!!!" she screamed finally.

"That will slowly drain your life away....erase your memory...and make sure you can never be rebuilt....you are truly a goner, Mrs. Star....good luck to you in hell..." North Star said and was about to fire one more to finish off Iceheart when he heard running through the forest. Turning quickly, he left.

"Starlight Love"
Death Star ran up to the base of the hill where he had left Iceheart, cursing himself for ever moment he was away from her. Jumping up to where they where a few moments ago, he stopped and saw her laying on the ground against a rock, trying to yank out some sort of spike in her gut that was sparking. She was bleeding horribly. "N-No!!" he shouted and ran over to her, kneeling beside her.

"Oh...Death Star....welcome back...sorry....about this...North Star kinda...." she tried to continue, but groaned in pain. Death Star shook with rage at the fact NS had almost killed Iceheart...had come so close to finishing off the only thing he held dear in the world.

"Let's get this thing out of you..." he urged. He began to tug which caused her to scream in even more agony.

"Lo-Lover...listen to me...I-I'm not going to make it...this thing is poisoning me beyond degree...I'm having trouble thinking...just hold me...please..." she begged. Death Star blinked and stopped pulling on the stake and wrapped his arms around Iceheart, resting her on his legs, her blood flowing all over his armor. "Thank you...." she said.

Death Star swallowed hard, tears forming at his eyes. "Listen to me Iceheart, you're not going to die, do you hear me?! You're not going to DIE!!!" he told her, his voice cracking with emotion. "You're the only thing I got...the only thing I hold dear...the one thing in this world that I could ever, ever not imagine living a day without...the only person I ever loved..." he finished and his heart broke as she continued to fade away from him slowly. Her smile, her face, her hair in the sunlight....her saying yes to him asking her to marry him all flashed before him...the long nights they had together, their bodies locked in passion (As far a Reploid could go). Every memory he held dear.

"Lover...remember....I'll always love you....I never loved anyone before either...you're the only one...I'll hold true to....you're my only love, Death Star...and dying tonight, please don't grieve...we'll be together again....one..day..soon.." she said with her last remaining strength. Her eyes fluttered slowly and she smiled one of her smiles at him. Death Star began to cry in pain and anguish. His only love was dying before him and there was nothing he could do to stop it. Bending over and looking into her eyes, he felt his lips touch her's, knowing it would be for the last time. He could taste the battery fluid in her mouth as he kissed, drawing her closer to him, holding her like there was no tomorrow. And, then, he could feel her sigh in pain and begin to fall back, their kiss stopped. She fell back some, but he held onto her, not allowing her to fall any further. He could still taste her "blood" in his mouth, burning it. But he didn't care. The only thing he cherished in the world was dead. He was alone. Roaring in pain, he stood up holding the body.

"GOD NOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" he said and began to curse God. Cursed him with every fiber of his being until he collapsed to his knees, crying harder than he had ever done before. Infact, Death Star couldn't remember the last time he had cried. He stroked her hair, smearing her blood in it some. Crying, he could see his tears land on her pretty face, sliding off of it onto the ground. The last time he would ever hold Iceheart...see her...feel her.... embrace her....He stopped cursing God, knowing it was one person's fault. Standing up shakily, he looked down at her body, laying there. Grabbing the stake, he ripped it out and crushed it.

"I love you..." he said simply as he stepped away from his fallen angel...taken away before her time....he had sacrificed her for his friends, in the end, instead of the other way around. And it was a great sacrifice indeed. Crying, his emotions turning, he continue to look at her. So pretty...fragile..like a rose. Crushed by North Star. Roaring in anger, he turned and grabbed the Maverick still laying there. "WHERE IS HE!?" he shouted.

"On top of the hill...w-waiting for you...." the Maverick said. Death Star ripped his body in two with his two bare hands and ran up the hill, ready for the final battle. Ready for revenge.
