Chapter 8

Isolation
Revised Edition

"CHIBI-USA!" Usagi screamed mortified. Mamoru and Setsuna had to hold her back from running to them.
"Now Serenity, come with me or I will kill your and Endymion's only child right before your eyes."
"Let go of her! Let me go!" She added to her friends still holding her back.
"Keh-" Chibi-Usa had stopped struggling and coughing, all sound leaving her lungs. Demando showed no change in his reaction as the child slowly started to die under his grip.
"Please, she's done nothing to you!"
"On the contrary, she has done quite enough." His piercing cold violet eyes moved downward to stare at the pink haired girl. "This thing, created by you and Endymion should never have come to exist in the first place. Besides my dear, I have already told you that I will crush everything you love, and as pitiful as it is, Small Lady is one of them isn't she?"
"Chibi-Usa!" Usagi broke free from Setsuna and Mamoru and frantically started running at Demando, ignoring the shouts from behind her. She didn't care that the prince was smiling, and reaching out to grab her. All that mattered was pulling Chibi-Usa away from him.
"Usagi!" Rei came out of nowhere smashing into Demando and throwing him off balance. She was taken aback, but didn't stall. Usagi grabbed Chibi-Usa as she fell from Demando's grip, and tried to scurry away but tripped. She covered Chibi-Usa's body with her own, closing her eyes tightly as if waiting for a final blow.
"Rei! Princess!" The next thing Usagi saw was a flash of blinding light out of the corner of her eye as Hotaru, Setsuna and Michiru rushed toward them fully transformed. She couldn't see anything as the light poured around Demando, Rei, Saturn, Pluto and Neptune. There was shouting, screaming and then a hand, reaching out at Usagi and placing it gently on her shoulder.
"Usagi," came the faint voice of Rei. "I believe in you." The grip slackened, and Usagi knew in that instant her friend was gone. Everything had faded away to reveal Demando standing there alone, wiping a trickle of blood from his chin and breathing heavily. Saturn, Pluto and Neptune were nowhere to be seen.
"Damn that was close." Demando said.
"You…" He looked up to see Usagi sitting on the ground in terror. "What did you do?" Her eyes were like a small dog's who had been abandoned by their family, and didn't understand why. "Where…are they?" Demando looked at all the stunned faces around him. Endymion was struck dumb and the other one looked as if her lover had just been taken away. He smirked at their numb confusion.
"Oops, I meant to let my family members kill them off…." He said. "Oh well, they can kill elsewhere."
"I don't believe you!" Usagi screamed. "They're not dead."
"Believe what you want, I'm afraid that wont change reality." Demando kept his cool while speaking to the lot of them, talking in a chilled manner.
"Stop lying!" It was all making her ill. She lifted herself up from the ground, trying not to shake as much as possible. "Bring them back! Bring them back now!"
"Oh, are you angry? This is your own fault, I warned you, but apparently you didn't think my threat was sufficient. You could have prevented this by just coming with me, but you decided against it, and therefore decided to kill your friends."
"Princess!" Haruka grabbed Usagi around the waist and together they rolled across the ground. Mamoru lifted Chibi-Usa from up and dived in the opposite direction. Usagi didn't understand why until she looked to where they once stood.
"My god…" The ground was completely smashed from the power Demando had meant to paralyze her with. But that wasn't nearly as shocking compared to what was happening to the world around her. The skies turned pitch black with dead dark grey clouds. Lightning flashed overhead and small tornadoes began to settle themselves on Earth's soil, the smell of rotting flesh beginning to build up. The morning's promise of a beautiful day was gone. Earth was becoming a wasteland. "I think I'm going to be sick…eh…"
Haruka lifted Usagi into her arms and started to run. Mamoru followed with Chibi-Usa until they reached a small alley about a half a mile from the park.
"His power… it's insane…" Haruka let Usagi slide down her leg on to the solid ground. "How could any one person cause all of this?" Mamoru watched the dark sky as they all listened to the sound of the city dieing. Usagi hit the ground with a loud thud after sliding down the wall. Brining her knees up she wrapped her arms around them and buried her face in her lap.
"Usagi?" A small voice said her name in concern, but she kept her eyes closed tight.
"Leave her be Chibi-Usa." Mamoru pulled Chibi-Usa away from her and into his lap. Haruka continued to stand, leaning against the wall and staring thoughtlessly into the city. For the longest period of time there was nothing but the sound of death.
"They're gone too aren't they?" Haruka turned around seeking the voice. "Michiru, Setsuna, Hotaru… while I was knocked out, right?" She nodded at the question.
"So, what happens now?"
"We're the only ones left." Mamoru met Haruka's eyes. "We have do find a way to end this once and for all."
"It all comes back to that, doesn't it?" The sandy blonde crossed her arms. "If he died, how did he come back? Only when we find that out, will we discover his weakness. It's most likely connected to why he has so much power now. Maybe…someone is backing him up? Something… stronger."
"Stronger than him now?" Chibi-Usa asked horrified.
"Something similar to Death Phantom?" Mamoru said aloud. "Even Death Phantom didn't have this much power. It would have to be something far more powerful. Far greater then even Zirconia."
"What? But… how will we find out for sure?" Chibi-Usa asked.
"I… don't know."
"Damnit…" Mamoru, Chibi-Usa and Haruka all looked over to the form of their princess curled against the wall like a small kitten. "This is all happening because of me."
"Stop it." Haruka said sternly. "Right now."
"But, Demando is only hunting you to get to me." A single tear rolled down her cheek. "Please, let me go back…If I go back…"
"I told you to STOP!" Haruka said more forcefully.
"Usagi, I thought we talked about this already. You're not our burden!" Mamoru argued.
"I know I'm not! Why… why can't I protect you for once? Why can't I be the one to sacrifice myself for once! Huh? Is it only because I'm the princess?"
"D-don't try and pull that! You think giving up your life is protecting us? You think sacrificing yourself is the way to end it all? That's just giving up damnit! You wanna know the truth, then fine! Yes, we protect you because you are our princess! Our precious princess, our friend! We took an oath long ago to do so, we weren't forced into it!"
"I'm not saying that! I'm not saying that's the only reason! I know we're friends! I know that if it were someone else, we would still be in the same situation! It's just-"
"Then what are you trying to say? If you know all this, then what are you trying to get at? We're not just going to let you give up! We're not going to let you give yourself to that monster! You think you're trying to save our lives, but your being selfish! How do you think we would feel, having to live with that sacrificial weight hanging over us? Stop trying to do every damn thing by yourself! You're too damn sweet for your own good! THAT'S why you need so much protection, not because you are weak." She mumbled not hiding her annoyance that her princess was too trusting and willing.
"STOP TRYING TO DO EVERYTHING BY YOURSELF DAMNIT! YOU'RE GOOD NATURE IS PISSING ME OFF!" Rei bellowed in the back of Usagi's mind.
"Usagi, no one wants their loved ones to die. It's human." Mamoru kneeled down next to her and took her lovers hands in his own looking directly into her royal blue eyes. "What's really going on in your mind?" He could see something troubling brewing deep down inside, something she had been troubled by for a while, but had locked it away.
"If… the Silver Crystal didn't exist…" It is your fault my brother changed…It is your fault that everything is messed up…fearsome girl…It's you and The Silver Imperium Crystal that wreck history… "No, it brings peace and tranquility…"
"Usagi…"
"The crystal has already failed to bring peace once. How many more times? Is it truly possible to live in a world purified by its power? Can this world, this small planet, this galaxy… can we truly live our lives in a place where chaos does not exist…"
"Usagi…" For a split second Mamoru could have sworn, someone else was looking at him sadly through Usagi's eyes.
FWOOSSHHH! The wind picked up speed as a tornado was readying to near them, ripping apart all the buildings in its path.
"We have to get out of here!" Mamoru hollered as he pushed Usagi onto the ground for safety. "But where are we suppose to go? Everything in this city is being destroyed, and we don't have a plan of action!"
Beep…beep…beep… Usagi heard a faint noise from somewhere to her left. She jumped when she realized what it was. Sticking her hand in her pocket, she withdrew her communicator, which had almost been forgotten.
"H-hello? They all stared at the voiceless static image with clinging hope. "Hello?" She called again. "Who's there?"
"Usagi? Usagi it is you! Thank god!" A small black shape formed on the screen with a lumpy white shape and a smaller one behind it.
"Luna!" Shame washed over her when she realized she had almost forgotten about her small friend. "Thank god your okay…"
"I should be saying the same thing to you! After what happened I thought…" The small black cat couldn't finish her sentence. As the picture became clearer Usagi saw Luna had cuts everywhere, which were still freshly bleeding. Artemis was lying in the background, a large gash across his crescent moon, bruises and cuts everywhere. He was worse off then Luna. Next to him sat a sad looking Diana, who looked completely uninjured.
"What happened!" Chibi-Usa asked anxiously into the device. "Where are you guys communicating from?"
"Right now we're buried at the bottom of the arcade in the Control Room, so far it's been acting like a bomb shelter. We were at the shrine when all of a sudden the crows started to go nuts. Right after that, everything went dark and buildings started to rip apart right next to us. That's when they arrived…"
"Demando?" Usagi asked.
"No. Everyone but. Safiel, Esmerodo and Rubeus… we managed to get out, but Artemis…" She looked away from the screen for a moment. "Artemis got hit pretty badly trying to give us time to escape. His crescent moon got slashed… he can't talk…"
"Luna!" Usagi was suddenly panicked. "My family, what about my family?" There was a long and awkward pause before Luna spoke again.
"I'm sorry…" The cat shook her head, and Usagi felt her heart stop. "Usagi the communication we are using right now won't last long, it's…"
"Where is Demando?" The small device shook in the girl's hold as she spoke. "Can you pinpoint his location?"
"Yes, just give me a second." Luna disappeared from the screen for a second and then reappeared. "He's at Shiba Park near the Zojoji Temple."
"Alright. I'm going…"
"Usagi!" She looked back down at the cat's image, her eyes filled with concern. "Just…please stay safe." She smiled warmly at her furry friend, and would have given anything to hug her at that moment.
"I will. Take care of Artemis and Diana. Goodbye…"
"Let's go." Haruka gripped her shoulder gently. Usagi nodded and held her locket high above her.
"Silver Moon Crystal Power Make-up!" A brilliant mixture of pure white light and pink ribbons wrapped themselves around Usagi's naked body.
Chibi-Usa also lifted her locket above her head calling out, "Moon Crisis Makeup!" Swirls of pink light filled the air and consumed the child.
"Uranus Crystal Power Makeup!" Light yellow ribbons wrapped around Haruka's body and with one graceful movement of his hand, Mamoru transformed. The Senshi Chibi-Moon, Uranus and Tuxedo Kamen stood together with Eternal Sailor Moon.
Eternal Sailor Moon looked out into the perishing night. "Let go, into the storm." They took each other's hands to keep from blowing away and ventured out. The intensity of it was more then they had anticipated. Slowly, their hands began to slip from their grips.
"This isn't working." Chibi Moon bared her teeth against the wind. With every step they were blown back a few steps, making their progress agonizingly slow. "I feel like I'm going to get sucked away. We'll never reach our destination at his point."
"Let's teleport." Sailor Moon replied.
"Are you sure we have enough power?" Tuxedo Kamen asked.
"I'm not sure. All we can do it try, we'll never make it all the way there by walking." Chibi Moon looked at Sailor Moon filled with doubt. "If I use power directly from the Silver Crystal-"
"No, you shouldn't be using the crystal for something like that." Uranus said. "It'll zap too much power out of you and leave you more vulnerable for attacks. Besides, I think I have an idea."
"No, way…" Sailor Moon stopped in her tracks as Uranus led them to a partly demolished sports car that must have been hit by a tornado. "You want to drive us there, in this storm in that?"
"Hey! What was the emphasis on you for?" Uranus tugged on the bent in drivers side door until it fell off. Crawling inside, she began to hot-wire it.
"N-nothing…" Sailor Moon squirmed.
"Shame, this must have been a real beauty before it got all messed up." With the reeve of an engine, the car started. "Alright, get in."
Chibi Moon, Tuxedo Kamen, and Sailor Moon all exchanged skeptical looks before giving in and crawling into the vehicle.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
'U-Uranus! Slow down! Uguu…" Chibi Moon sat in the back seat with Tuxedo Kamen, leaning on the seat in front, covering her head with her hands. She tried desperately to focus on one spot by her feet and ignore the jerks and jabs of the vehicle's movement as Uranus sped down the street, dodging falling debris from the surrounding buildings and driving against the wind.
"I think… I'm going to die…" Sailor Moon was gripping her seat belt with as much strength she could muster, making sure it was as tight around her body as it would go.
"Ah come on this is nothing." She pressed against the gas harder, jerking hard to the right as she did so.
"Chibi Moon, don't- nevermind…" Tuxedo Kamen rubbed the child's back as she layed across his lap.
When they reached the park it took everyone but Uranus to stably get out and resume standing. Tuxedo Kamen took Chibi Moon's hand to help her out while Sailor Moon leaned her back over the hood of the car. "What is your guys' problem?" Uranus asked perplexed.
"I think, I'll have Mamoru to teach me to drive…" She rolled her head back more to look at Uranus, and gasped. "Oh my god…" Behind her friend stood a giant tower in the center of the storm. It appeared to be made of golden stone, but nothing about it gleamed. It gave off a severe dark and gloomy feeling.
"Welcome Sailor Senshi, to my palace." Demando's voice rang at every corner of the clouded sky. A beam of red light hit the ground in front of them, followed by a dark form taking the shape of the prince. "And Serenity's future home."
"The only kingdom Serenity will rule is the New Silver Millennium's Crystal Tokyo with King Endymion." Sailor Uranus moved infront of Sailor Moon as she walked over from the other side of the vehicle.
"Not if he s dead" He said gently. Out of nowhere, the members of the Black Moon Clan appeared behind them. Esmerodo grabbed Chibi-Moon, Safiel grabbed Tuxedo Kamen, and Rubeus grabbed Uranus.
"You guys!"
"They will be killed on my command."
"Stop all of this!" Moon shouted.
"The power to stop this is in your hands, Sailor Moon." She bit her bottom lip looking from Demando to her friends, now chained together in strips of flaming light. Moving fast, Sailor Moon had her wand in her hands and aimed it at Demando. "Useless…" He flicked his fingers causing a small burst of black energy to fly across from him. Sailor Moon gasped and looked around to see her wand land on the ground out of reach.
Demando grabbed her wrist, causing Sailor Moon to snap back around and stare directly into his face. "The decision is an easy one my love." He kissed her on the cheek and slowly moved down to nibble on her neck. She made no effort to stop him. Her head was spinning, racing, searching for something. For some reason, she felt disconnected with herself. "Become mine, Serenity…" He said intoxicatingly into her ear.
Sailor Moon's body became limp in his arms. Demando pressed her body against his, keeping her from slipping away. He moved his face closer to hers. Everything felt like a foggy mirror, and she couldn't control her body. "Give yourself to me, and all of this is just a bad dream."
Her lips parted slightly. "Give myself to you…"
"Sailor Moon! Snap out of it!" Chibi Moon yelled out earning her and everyone else to be burned by the fire that bonded them. They cried out in pain, and then went limp as the flames lowered. "Nnn…"
Tuxedo Kamen panted trying to swallow some air before following suit. "Usa-ko! Wake up!" More burning and more cries. Sailor Moon's eyes that had been blank slowly started to regain their natural blue warmth. Noticing, Demando moved in even closer, his breath tickling her lips.
"You are mine and mine alone…" Her eyes faded.
"I am yours and yours alone…"
"Now, give your prince a kiss of undying devotion." Her body moved on it's own, gripping his sleeves, and pulling herself up onto his body. She closed her eyes, parted her lips and their tongues met each other. Demando dipped her backwards, immersing himself in the already deep kiss.
Safiel looked away disgusted while Esmerodo shook in rage. Rubeus didn't seem to take notice; he stood there in a blank stare seeming to be concentrating while gripping a small, barely visible string of flame. "DAMN YOU!" Uranus screamed, kicking Rubeus in the leg and then in the groin as he lost balance and let go of the flame. The bondage around them immediately vanished and Uranus charged forward. "Space Sword!" There wasn't enough time; Demando's back slashed open with a spurt of blood. Sailor Moon blinked with her natural eyes and fell back into the Senshi's arms.
"You…" She said horrified backing away from the man kneeling on the ground stained in blood. "That eye… how do you have that eye?" In the middle of his forehead where the sign of his family should have been, was a third eye. Death Phantom's once gift from long ago. "Stop toying with me!" She scrubbed her lips vigorously feeling tainted.
Tuxedo Kamen and Chibi Moon caught up with them. They had more trouble leaving then Uranus who took off before any of Demando's family members could try and stop her. Without so much as a word, Tuxedo Kamen spun Sailor Moon from Uranus' hold and kissed her himself. Chibi Moon blinked and looked away so no one could see her pink cheeks.
"You're all better now." He smiled.
"Sailor Senshi…" Despite the wound, Prince Demando lifted himself up from the ground and glared at Uranus. "You will pay for that."
"Bring it on!" She took her sword back out and prepared to battle. The prince raised his hand and smiled.
They charged at each other, clashing like steel. Uranus' sword sparked and Demando's energy crackled in his hand. They put all their strength into trying to charge the other down, but it was no good. They were at a standstill. Sailor Uranus jumped back and charged again, this time trying to gain more speed. Demando made no movement. An inch away from cutting his face he vanished to the side. She swung around, bringing the sword around with her, but the only thing it caught was air. As she turned her body, her uniform was torn across her stomach followed by an explosion of blood. She dropped the sword from her unsteady grip and collapsed to the floor.
"URANUS!" Sailor Moon screamed.
"Giving up already?" The voice came from above her. "Don't be such a weakling. If I had wanted, your guts could be on the floor along with your blood."
"Fuck you!" Uranus threw her sword at him, but he vanished. By the time he reappeared she was up and running as fast as she could while holding her stomach. That bastard… is too fast…how? She thought bitterly. Daring to turn around, Uranus noticed he was missing. If Sailor Moon hasn't of screamed out to her, she would have died.
Infront of her, hand raised floated Demando. She ducked and rolled underneath him, grabbing her sword. "Space Sword!" That trick wouldn't work again. Releasing the attack into thin air, he stuck out his bare hand and absorbed the attack. "What?" Uranus shouted. She froze in shock, resulting to taking even more damage to her body. Small black spears or pins sliced her arms and legs. All she could do was cover her face and wait for them to stop before crashing fully onto the ground. Everything was blurry, but when she regained her focus she her own sword being pointed at her neck.
"Interesting little toy." Demando said. "For a warrior to die at the point of their own weapon, how shameful."
"I wont..." She shifted slightly on the ground moving her hand underneath her. "Die that easily. Not yet. I still have something to protect." Demando smirked. Uranus returned it with a smile of her own. As soon as he got into closer range, she would throw an attack at him, which she was getting ready under her numb body.
"Die!" Demando raised the sword, and Uranus moved her hand.
"URANUSS!" She stopped and turned around. Sailor Moon was running as fast as she could, about to throw herself over her friend shielding the attack.
"IDIOT! STAY BACK!" Sitting up, she caught Sailor Moon in her arms. "DON'T-" Her eyes widened and she stiffened. Something hot started to make it's way up her throat and out of her mouth… blood. Looking down she saw her own sword logged into her side. Smiling, she leaned against her princess' chest. "Sorry." She said. "It looks like I have to leave you after all."
"Uranus! Uranus! Uranus!" Sailor Moon shook her friend. "Don't close your eyes! If we can get you out of here… Uranus! Please! No… this is all my fault…." The dieing Senshi placed a finger against Sailor Moon's lips.
"Shhh… this isn't your fault."
"But-"
"So warm." She closed her eyes. "Be strong, and don't give in. If you do that for me, I promise, to send everyone your regards." The Sailor Senshi let out a prolonged breath and faded into the wind. The only thing that remained was a blood stained sword, which Sailor Moon took carefully into her arms hugging it against her chest.
"Giver her back…" Sailor Moon's voice cracked. "Give them all back!" Abandoning any and all composure she had left, Sailor Moon ran at Demando with tears of hatred flowing from her eyes. He vanished, followed by his family members.
His voice echoed all around them. "To end everything, come to your future home, and Endymion's and daughters final resting place…"
The storm stopped. There was no point to it anymore as everything in the city was already dead or close to it. The sky remained pitch black, not a single star could be seen and the feeling of death didn't lighten, for some reason it felt even more like it. It was as if the Earth had stopped spinning, and time stopped along with it.
"Sailor Moon?" A small and warm hand touched her shoulder.
"Let's go." She took the tiny hand in hers. Tuxedo Kamen claimed the other. They were all that was left, and together, they started to walk towards the palace.
In a dark room at the center of the palace, Demando watched as the final three made their way into the heart of his castle. The hologram zoomed in on Sailor Moon and he chuckled.
"Fools, it's only a matter of time and she will belong to me and only me, body, mind and soul." He threw back his head and laughed. He stopped and listened to his own echo, but it wasn't his any more. The laughter of a cold, mysterious female voice came from the heavens, seeming somehow, familiar.
"Who's there?" He demanded. "I order you to show yourself!"
"Prince of the Dark Moon Clan, do you really think you will win so easily?" It spoke to him this time.
"How dare you question me? Show your face!" The more the voice spoke the more something inside his mind told him he had heard it before.
"You take the Moon Princess too lightly and underestimate her power greatly. Of course, you do not know the full extent of her power. How could you though, even she does not. When you are done fooling around with her, I will show her myself. But for now, you have proven useful and have unlocked a weakness. I thank you."
"I know your voice!" Demando spoke. And then it came to him, a teasing female voice that just slightly echoed overhead coming from nowhere and yet it was everywhere… "You! Who are you?" Just like the first time, there was no answer. "Doll Maker, come forth!" A gust of wind filled with dirt and gravel evolved in the room where a dark hooded figure appeared before the prince.
"Yes, your highness?" The hooded figure was nothing like Death Phantom. While it stayed hidden by the cloak, there was no doubt it that a human or something like a human was underneath it. It stood on legs, but they didn't touch the ground for he hovered in air, the cloak flapping around him smoothly and eerily like silk in water. If standing straight, it would have been taller than Demando, but it always kept bent at the knees, knowing better then to stand taller then the man before him. The voice that came from it was a deep male's so dark and cold it could have made evil itself shiver.
"There was a voice. A woman's. This isn't the first time I have heard it either. Do you know anything about the matter?" He rounded on the figure.
"I am afraid I do not." It spoke.
"Fine… however, you are to keep watch for anything suspicious. I do not want anything to go wrong when I have Serenity."
"Serenity…" The dark figure rolled the name of his lips.
"Begone with you!" Demando noticed the pleasure in his voice and grew angry. At his command, the figure bowed and vanished into the darkness. Demando curled his lip in annoyance, and then took off to greet his future queen.
The atmosphere was as thick outside as it was inside the palace. They didn't want to meet anyone soon, but with no other signs of presence in the place, it was a whole new feeling of eerie. "This place creeps me out." Chibi Moon gripped Sailor Moon's hand tighter.
Tuxedo Kamen looked around cautiously. "I know what you mean…"
"Beautiful." Rubeus stepped out from the shadows closely followed by Esmerodo and Safiel. "Simply beautiful. Isn't it, Safiel?"
Safiel's eyes glittered. "Yes. The Royal Family, together in their final resting place."
"Tch, what do you travel everywhere together now?" Sailor Moon asked.
"We have been given the honor of killing the king and princess." Esmerodo smiled, delighted by the thought.
"And although we have been ordered not to kill the "beautiful" Queen, there were no restrictions on playing with her a bit." Safiel outstretched his hand. Sailor Chibi Moon broke hands with her future mother and pointed her scepter directly at his heart.
"Don't come another step closer."
The family broke out into hysterics. "How rich!" Esmerodo laughed. "The Rabbit actually thinks she has the power to do something against us!"
"I'm not The Rabbit! I'm Super Sailor Chibi Moon! Small Lady Serenity and heiress to the Silver Millennium! Moon Gorgeous Meditation!" Swirls of pink light flashed knocking Safiel off balance and into the others. Esmerodo scraped her kneed on the ground.
"You brat!" She stood up pulling out her red fan. Red light flashed in Chibi Moon's direction but the child jumped avoiding the attack.
"Hiyyaahh!" Rubeus shot balls of purple fire at Tuxedo Kamen who evaded them with his own attack, Tuxedo The Smoking Bomber.
"This ones mine!" Safiel ran at Eternal Sailor Moon hitting her in the chest with an attack and knocking her into the wall of the palace. She quickly regained her composure, standing up with nothing more then a scratch on her arm and a sore back.
"Starlight Honeymoon Therapy!" Safiel disappeared an inch before the attack hit him. "Shit!" She cursed. She heard a swishing sound behind her and using her instinct she held up her scepter to block his attack.
"Pretty clever little moon girl!" He hissed. Sailor Moon lowered her eyes.
"I'm not little any more! Ahhh!" With some force she managed to push him off of her. She bent over trying to catch her breath but without taking one single look away from him when something caught her eye. She hadn't even thought about it before. "Your young." She breathed out. "You haven't aged at all…" It was like Demando had insinuated earlier. "If you weren't alive this while time… when did you come back?"
Safiel just smiled at her not saying a word. "HOW?" She screamed out in desperation. She wanted to know, it had been eating away inside her since the beginning. "How did you come back? No one… can come back from the dead…"
"Eternal life… like my brother has always said, it isn't supposed to exist. The body is meant to deteriorate and decay. And yet, with the power of the Silver Crystal, you exist unnaturally. So why is it so hard to believe, that one can come back from the dead…"
"Are you saying… rebirth?" Safiel vanished and re-materialized to her left, swinging his downward. With a sharp blow to the face, Sailor Moon was knocked off her feet and crash landed onto the floor.
"Someone…or something…" She coughed. "No, you're here unnaturally. You're rebirth… is a fake! Tell me, what is it that brought you back!" His face grew angry. Landing next to her, he yanked her head upward by the hair.
"Who!" He spat. "WHO? THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!" He smacked her so hard in the face she yelped in pain. Then he crawled on top of her, his body pressing hard against hers, both hands pinning her arms down. "YOU'RE THE REASON THIS IS HAPPENING, THE REASON WERE BACK!" Sailor Moons breathing increased rapidly. He was insane…"I HATE YOU!" Safiel had nothing but pure hatred in his eyes. He took his left hand and placed it around her thin smooth neck, his lips curling into a twisted smile. "The pure goddess Serenity, spreading love, peace and justice to everyone. Everyone who meets your perfect ideals for your prefect life! What would you be like, without your wings…"
Raising his right hand into the air as high it would go, he began to collect a mass amount of dark energy. The intensity from it lit the whole room in a purple hue, making everyone pause around them. When he decided he had collected enough, the energy was the size of an entire person. "You are no angel…"
"EIYYAAHHH!" Sailor Moon's scream echoed all throughout the room. Blood trickled down her back, staining her white outfit where her wing once was. The pain was too great and her eyes stung so bad she couldn't see. Through her eyelids, she could see a purple light start to take form, and she knew he was preparing to take her other wing away from her.
"SAILOR MOON!" She heard shouting and banging in the background.
"It's your own fault you know. Brainwashing my brother, and twisting his heart. You leave him to die… and then you bring him back. Just to play with his emotions!"
"No…" She moaned. "Safiel, what are you… saying?"
"You… DON'T ACT LIKE YOU DON'T KNOW! IT WAS YOU! NEO QUEEN SERENITY IT WAS YOU! YOU BROUGHT US BACK FROM THE REALMS OF THE DEAD. WHY? WHY?" Something caught in her throat. That wasn't right. There was no way that was right. Safiel clearly must have misunderstood something. "Sailor Moon! You are nothing but a power hungry fallen angel trying to steal power that is not yours! DIE!" He built up energy in his hand and swung it down upon her. Without warning, a bright light emitted from her chest casting everything into a blinding pure white. When it passed, Safiel and his family members were nowhere to be seen. Had she killed them? It seemed like it….
Sailor Moon layed on the floor in a state of shock while Tuxedo Kamen and Chibi-Moon ran over to her.
"The Silver Crystal!" She said breathlessly. "Sailor Moon you did it! Sailor Moon?" She made a move forward but Tuxedo Kamen held her back and he moved forward instead. He placed his hand underneath her and helped her to sit up. The crystal had healed her back but both wings gone.
"It's a lie right…" She said. "Neo Queen Serenity would never give the chance of rebirth to them…"
"Of course it's a lie." Tuxedo Kamen brushed her cheek gently with his free hand.
"Or was it?" Demando made his way into the room. "Wonderful, taking out my entire family with one blow. I could have used Safiel around longer, however…such amazing destructive power."
"You're not human. Your whole family is gone and you don't even care." Sailor Moon sat straighter in Kamen's arms.
"I would have gotten rid of them eventually, after all, it will only be you and I who live here along with some servants for my queen of course."
"If you take her…" Tuxedo Kamen stood up, letting Sailor Moon rest against Chibi Moon instead. "It will be over my dead body."
"Ohh…Endymion. I had planned to do exactly that." Everyone could feel the tension between the two. "Stealing Serenity away from me and brainwashing her to love you, she belongs to me!" They glared at one another. A blue light appeared by Demando's right hand, and out of it came a sword that seemed to be made of ice. Tuxedo Kamen closed his eyes, his cane taking the form of a sword and his clothes changing into armor.
Prince Endymion stood ready to face Prince Demando.
Demando took the first swing which Endymion blocked with his sword. "Forcing your love on someone who doesn't want it will get you no where!" He pushed back. "Power and beauty have nothing to do with true love!" Endymion plunged his sword at Demando, but the white prince dodged it.
"Such a pitiful fool! Your ideals are nothing than that of a boy's! Serenity needs a man who can give her more." Their swords clashed. Prince Demando hit Endymion back with the handle of his own. "Crystal Tokyo is nothing but a dream. Your future is a lie!"
"No! Your future is a lie!" Endymion hit Demando's arm, staining his clothes with crimson. He returned the favor, and hit Endymion in his shoulder where bare of armor. Then he vanished leaving the Prince of Earth to wonder. From behind, Endymion received a blow to the head causing him to stumble and loose grip on his sword.
"MAMORU!" He looked up at the sound of his loved ones voices behind him. Standing only a couple feet away was Demando. It was now or never. Picking up his sword, he ran head on slicing it clear through what he expected to be a solid body, but he fell right through. A hologram…
"DIE PRINCE ENDYMION!" Prince Demando appeared behind him, plunging the sword straight through his chest. Confusement, shock, understanding and regret all crept on to his face in slow motion as he gracefully fell to the floor in a small puddle of his own blood.
"Mamo…. chan…." Sailor Moon stumbled, tripping over herself and slumping over. With every quickened heartbeat, she took a quickened step. He wasn't dead… not yet. If she cold get to him, she could use the Silver Crystal, she could heal him, and everything would be all right again. Eternal Sailor Moon kneeled beside him not knowing why she was crying. She could still save him after all… there was no reason to cry.
Wetting his face with her tears she kissed him on the lips over and over. "I love you… I love you, I love you."
"I know." He smiled.
"Let me save you! I can save you!" She reached for her locket but he grabbed her hand and lowered it.
"No." he said. Tears spilled down her front, more then she thought she had left. "Why?" her voice squeaked.
"Save your energy." He started to cough, blood dripped out of his mouth. "You'll need it."
"Mamoru!" After slowly making her own way over, Chibi-Moon grabbed onto him. "You can't die!"
He took the small child in his arms. "I'm sorry Chibi-Usa, I would have loved to be your father..." The little girls eyes were littered with small pearly tears. He turned his head to Sailor Moon. "…and to make you the happiest bride ever, Usa-Ko. Forgive me, I couldn't protect you."
They watched as Mamoru closed his eyes and silently slipped away, then faded like all the others. "Sailor Moon?" Chibi Moon spoke in a whisper. "I know… I know I'm suppose to be brave but… I'm scared. What will come of the future?"
"It will come to pass." She said definitely.
"Sailor Moon, do you believe in hope?" She looked up to see the little girl vanishing before her eyes.
"Chibi Moon!" Oddly enough, the child was smiling as beads of water fell from her tired eyes. "STOP! What's happening?" She didn't need to ask, she already knew. Somewhere in her heart she knew, the moment Mamoru fell what would happen. She was the future daughter of Endymion and Serenity. And Endymion was no longer here.
"I do. I believe in hope. And so did… so does everyone else." Chibi Moon took Sailor Moon's hands into her fading ones. "Usagi, you are our hope. That's why, everyone could let go so easily. They knew, you'd be fine…" She smiled. "You'll make, a good mother someday…" And she too, faded away.
Sailor Moon was alone, isolated, the world she had once known and loved was gone. She took a deep breath and stood up, facing the person at fault for everything that had happened. "You got what you wanted." She said bitterly. "I'm alone, with nothing to loose." She drew her wand.
"Is that right?" Demando silently walked over to her and placed his hand in her long golden hair. "Alone, with nothing to loose…" She knocked his hand away with her wand and pointed it in-between his eyes.
"You wanted me, now take me." Her eyes were stern and all too familiar to the prince.
"Gladly…"
