Sailor moon
The ending tale.
Okay first off one thing you should know is that this revolves around the starlight chapter. (And a few things more Anyone who read the manga would know what I'm talking about.) The truth to what happened in between. If you like this then hopefully you'll like my other Sailor moon fan fictions like the one that happens many years after crystal Tokyo. Note to others. Some events from the Starlight manga series have happened in this and yet others have not. The starlights are still mysterious and galaxia's minions have already been killed. I just changed it a bit. Sorry.
"Serena! Wake up!" Mina yelled. She was shoving a limb body violently. "Please! Please wake up!" She began crying. As did the others around them.
"Rei! Get some scrolls hurry! Lita! Go get pillows and such. Rini go with her! Ami go get some medicine!" Luna the talking cat yelled. Everyone there went and did as they were told. Artemis, Luna, Mina, and Darien just stayed trying to wake Serena up.
"Okay. So what happened?" Luna asked.
"She was standing there. And suddenly she transformed. We all turned to see why and before we knew it the Shadow engulfed her! We fought the creatures that came from it and as we killed the last one the shadow disappeared and Serena was laying there untransformed and everything!" Mina cried. Artemis did his best to calm her. But being a cat there was little he could do.
"A new enemy perhaps?" Luna began to ponder. But just before she could really think Serena woke up.
"No. Not an enemy…" She said sounding all serious. Something that was very rare for her. By now everyone got back.
"What do you mean? If it wasn't an enemy what was it?" Darien asked holding Serena Tightly.
"It was…" Serena began. She was in a lot of pain so it was hard to talk.
"Yeah?" Mina asked. She didn't want to push her friend but she had to know!
"It was… Everything…" She gasped.
Everyone looked at each other. "What?" Rei asked.
"Everything… Love… Life… Death… Hate… Everything…" Then as she finished what she said Serena passed out.
Everyone sat there for a minute in confusion. As they turned to leave a shadow figure ran behind them.
"Surly it is everything. Love, Life, Death, and most of all Hate. At least she understood that…"
Chapter 1
Love.
"Serena? Are you daydreaming again??????" Mrs. Haruna, the English teacher (10th grade) Said.
"Sorry. I was just thinking ma'am." Serena said.
"Well you can think in a minute! I have an announcement! Class we have a new student! This is Culver Leon. He comes all the way from the U.S.A. Let's give him a big welcome!" Mrs. Haruna said. As she did a young man steeped in. He had long brunette hair and deep green eyes. He was tall and a total hottie!
"Hello." He said. And though it was one word it was so deep and beautiful that all the girls instantly loved him. Even Serena.
"Well Culver why don't you sit over there by Sieya." Mrs. Haruna said. Culver nodded and walked over to the empty desk by the window. The class dragged on. Though Serena couldn't take her thoughts off of Culver. Neither could the scouts and starlights. Culver seemed to be staring out the window intently.
"Maura? Is that who you are?" A teacher asked taking a young girl's i.d.
"Yes Sir." Maura answered sternly Her British accent was almost perfect. She had hair very similar to that of sailor moon's only instead of blonde it was a deep and beautiful purple. It reminded everyone who saw it of night and the beauties it beheld.
"And what pray tell is your excuse for not being in class?" The guy asked. He was the vice principle and had very big eyebrows. They were so big they made The backstreet dude's look normal.
"Because sir I am new and have no idea where my class is. But I will go to class if you would show me where." Maura responded looking up at the vice principle. He jumped back in shock at her blood red eyes. She smiled.
"y yes of course this way..." he said nervously. He began at a faster pace than usual walking to the room 10b.
"So class as we last talked about the third person reefers to... oh Mr. Makako may I help you?" Mrs. Haruna asked.
"Yes Mrs. Haruna. It appears we have a new student with no class. All the rooms seem to be full except for yours would you mind if I send her here?" Mr. Makako asked. Everyone began talking to themselves. everyone except Culver. He watched the door intensively and Seiya noticed.
"Why of course not. We would be very glad for a new student." Mrs. Haruna responded. Maura stepped through. But only Mrs. Haruna could see her at first. "But sir isn't she a little young for this class?" She asked.
"No. Maura is ahead in her schooling. So she's in this level. I'm very sorry for the interruption. Behave class!" Was the last words he said before leaving. Now everyone in the class put their full attention to the door to see the new student.
"Well class this is Maura..."
"Star." Maura said walking in. Finishing Mrs. Haruna's sentence. The whole classed just stared. The three "Lights" looked at each other as Mina instantly began writing a not to Serena who, could not stop staring at the 'new girl'.
"Well Miss Star there appears to be a seat behind Alex Light. You may sit there." Mrs. Haruna said. Then as Maura walked off she immediately began back into her lecture.
"Greetings." Alex said cheerfully. Though only to hide his suspicion.
"Hello." Maura said. Her voice was as cold as ice.
"So where do you come from?" Molly asked. She sat to the side of Maura.
"Jolly old England." Maura said.
"really? ..." Molly began suddenly in the mood for conversations. About ten minutes later the bell rang. Signaling lunch.
"Maura!" Culver said sternly, "Wait here for a minute." he said. Maura rolled her eyes but obeyed the command given forth.
"Hey do you want to go to lunch with us?" Molly asked. Nevile was already grabbing her things for her.
"No thank you. I must wait for Culver."
"Oh do you know the other new kid?" Nevile asked.
"You could say that." Culver said smoothly yet it carried the tone that they weren't wanted. With a nod NEvile left, Molly following. Finally they were the only ones in the room.
"Well that wasn't very kind of you mate." Maura said.
"Yes well we obviously need a few words alone. Like what are you doing here?!" Culver demanded.
"Settle down. I came here on a scholarship. I had no idea that you would be here though. What are you doing here?" Maura sneered. She didn't want to be getting the third degree.
"Don't go asking me these questions mate. this is about you! Now why are you here?" Culver asked once again.
"I told you I'm here on a scholarship!" Maura said a little angry now. Neither noticed the two figures slipping through the door.
"I don't think you are. tell me the truth." Culver asked. His tone actually softened up at the sight of Maura's beautiful blood red eyes.
"Why do you care huh? It's not like it really matters."
"It does."
"Why?"
"Cause I care about you Maura. I don't want you getting hurt."
"I wont get hurt."
"You don't know that."
"You broke her heart you know that!?"
"I'm sorry."
"You ass-hole!" Maura yelled raising her fist and slapping Culver. She was about to attempt it again but Culver caught her wrist.
"I am sorry. I loved her."
"You liar! You sent her to die! She only wanted your heart and you betrayed it! For that I will hate you for eternity!" Maura yelled. If she hadn't been so cold blooded right now she would be crying. Culver almost cried for her.
"Don't look at me that way!" Maura yelled as she began to walk out of the room. But Culver jumped in her way and grabbed her. She began immediately trying to get out but he wouldn't let her go.
"I truly am sorry Maura. For everything." He said quietly. Maura settled down and just stood there.
"You caused too much pain you can never be forgiven." Maura said. Her eyes were as cold as the darkest shadows. It could send shivers up anyone's spine.
"Why do you find it so hard to move on?" Culver asked. He obviously suffered from her words.
"No words can describe the answer." Maura said.
Culver obviously was annoyed. Though something else sparked in him. Some unsettled beast.
"You stupid bitch! You always hold everything in! You're pathetic. You live off that sorrow and expect others to feel sorry for you!" He yelled throwing her to the ground. Maura looked up a bit in shock.
"You're possessed?" She questioned seeing the demon in his eyes.
"You're a smart one aren't you?" Culver questioned. he moved steadily closer to her.
"Calhoun stop it now!" A man yelled diving out of the shadows in hopes of protecting Maura. Culver froze.
"Calhoun? No one's called me that in years Adrian!" He yelled turning to face the young man before him.
"Well I just did. And there isn't shit you can do about it!" Adrian yelled back. His eyes burning with anger. Adrian was a taller gentleman a couple years older than Maura. Dark and mysterious and longer hair. Very similar to the Star Lights but not quite. It was a unique grey/brown color as well. He was dressed rather royally.
"Adrian!" Maura yelled almost rejoicing.
"Hello love. Mind if I step in?" He asked with a smile.
"Not at all." Maura said. She stood up and began advancing to the door.
"You aren't going anywhere!" Culver yelled diving toward her.
"I don't think so!" Adrian yelled kicking out. His steel tipped boot jamming into Culver's stomach. Culver hit the ground hard.
"See ya!" Maura yelled realizing her opportunity to run. Adrian nodded but waited several minutes before attempting to follow.
"Why Adrian? Why do you do this? Do you not feel the same as I? Do you not think we should kill her now and save everything?"
"Her death, old chap, would do nothing but destroy us all. Remember that!" Adrian said rather angrily kicking Culver In the side again. Then he began to run as well.
"Terentia, you might be interested in escaping too? Soon the demon will possess him fully and he will become a yami."
"I will leave when I am good and ready. Now go protect the one you love."
"Yes ma'am." Adrian said running out the door. Sure enough as he had predicted the 'beast' inside of Culver had erupted. He was now a Yami a full fledge monster.
"Well big boy time to play." Terentia smiled. As she stepped out she revealed herself not as a normal girl but as a Sailor Scout. "I am Sailor Earth. And I will not let you hurt Maura!" She yelled. The battle began.
Maura ran out into the school grounds. Many were talking or eating so no one really noticed her distress. No one really, except the Lights.
"What's she doing?" Alex asked looking down. His silver hair was blowing carelessly in the wind.
"Who knows. Maybe its nothing." Terry said, his face buried behind a book. Seiya however said nothing. He just kept watching her.
"What's up?" Alex asked him at last.
"I don't know. But there's something about her. Something I know but can't remember. I just... I feel like I've known her forever you know?" Seiya asked his companions.
"Yeah. but in the end after the Silver Millennium everyone was kind of reborn again. Maybe you knew her from then."Terry suggested.
"Maybe..." Seiya said. But just then another man bursted from the doors as the class in the classroom 10b shattered to the ground. Everyone began running madly screaming.
"What is it?" Terry asked.
"A Yami! I haven't seen one in so long!" Alex yelled amazed as the yami that use to be Culver jumped to the ground. It landed right in front of Maura and she jumped back from surprise. The man who had dashed out moments before seemed to be helping her.
"We should go help you know." Terry said. Sieya and Alex nodded. They ran off to help.
"Ahhh!" Maura yelled surprised that Culver had transformed into a yami so soon. The transformation usually took a while. He must have been holding it in forever. "Culver..." She sighed. but it didn't matter. He didn't care. He just lashed out at her.
"Watch out!" Adrian yelled diving in to protect her. He managed to knock them both to the ground in time to prevent what he thought would be any serious wounds. But Maura had still managed to receive a wound from the attack. "Are you crazy! He could have killed you!" he yelled.
"But Culver..." Maura began. Adrian just sighed and shook his head. Then Maura realized it. It was too late to save him. They had to get out of there.
"Hold it right there you monster!" A famous voice yelled. The yami turned. "I will not let you harm innocent people. In the name of Love and Justice I am Sailor Moon and I will punish you."
"And we are the Sailor Scouts. Your going down buddy!" Sailor Jupiter yelled.
"Guys hold on!" Sailor Mercury said. Her classes that worked like a computer already out, "He's human! He must be possessed!" She yelled.
"Then this is a job for me!" Sailor Mars yelled running up. She pulled out half sheets of paper with Japanese writing on them, "Aku Ryu Tai SAN!" She yelled jumping up and throwing the scroll at the yami's forehead.
"Sailor Scouts?" Maura questioned a little amazed at what she was seeing.
"Sailor moon you're up!" Sailor Venus yelled. Then she ran over to help Adrian help Maura.
"Moon Crescent Beam!" Sailor Moon yelled. She twirled wildly around as a spiral of Crescent moons twirled with it. they grazed the Yami's flesh and tore him apart. Saving the Culver inside.
"We did it!" Sailor Jupiter yelled. little did she know how wrong she was. The monster soon regenerated after the beam and shot a mimicked attach at Sailor Moon!
"Look out!" Sailor Star fighter yelled diving in to protect 'her' beloved sailor moon. She succeed but only after getting cut in the shoulder.
"Star fighter! Are you alright?" sailor moon yelled instantly comforting star fighter.
Star fighter nodded, "yes princess I'm fine."
"Jupiter Lightning Storm!" Sailor Jupiter yelled.
"Venus Love me chain!"
"Mercury bubble blast!" Sailor Mercury yelled. A large attach with the added powers was sent at the yami. but just as before it was reflected. Only this time Sailor Mercury got caught in the backlash.
"mercury!" Sailor moon yelled. This monster was just to much! If only Momaru hadn't moved to the U.S.A. for school.
"Pluto Deadly Scream!" A purple blast of light shot out of no where. It struck true and did actually cause a little damage.
"It's the Outer Senshi!" Venus yelled supporting Sailor Mercury who was in a horrible condition right now.
"Neptune deep sea Mirage!"
"Uranus wind blast!" Sailor Uranus yelled and along with Sailor Neptune's attack the power of the blast multiplied. But despite the united attack the yami seemed to be able to defend against it. But it did cause some damage.
"That's impossible!" Sailor Neptune yelled in awe.
"Fools. I thought the Sailor Senshi of the Silver Millennium would have a little more power by now! You would think you were all rookies!" A voice yelled.
"Who are you?" Sailor Uranus demanded jumping in front of Sailor Moon to protect her. The voice jumped out the window where the yami use to be and landed gracefully in front of them.
"Tsk tsk not even a serious wound." She sneered.
"Who are you?" Sailor Uranus demanded once again. Though Sailor Moon and the sailor star lights seemed to be experiencing some flashbacks.
"I am your only hope." She said. Her sailor Uniform was torn a bit on the sleeves and skirt. She looked like a earth fairy. Well sort of anyway.
"That doesn't answer our question." Sailor Pluto said cruelly.
"I am the defender of this planet Sailor Earth!" she answered with the same tone as sailor Pluto had used moments earlier. Everyone gasped.
"sailor earth?" Mars questioned.
"Yes. I am Sailor Earth. Now if you'll excuse me I must defend my holy planet of life!" She yelled.
"Sailor Earth look out!" Maura had yelled almost right after Sailor Earth's statement. Sailor Earth spun around to see the Yami now directing all his energy at her.
"I don't think so! Earth Gravity pull!" She yelled. Suddenly the yami slammed to the ground as if an invisible boulder was thrown on top of him.
"Vine Prison!" She yelled once more and vines shot out of the ground and wrapped around the screaming yami holding and chocking him where he lay.
"Now sailor moon. If you would like you may change him back." She said turning around to leave.
"Hey wait... uh... Moon Healing Activation." Sailor moon yelled. The Yami screamed a bit in pain, then turned back into Culver.
"Sailor Earth!" Sailor Venus yelled turning around to look for her. But she had already left. So had the sailor star lights.
"That was weird." Sailor Mars said. Then she remembered Maura, turning to her she noticed the girl in a half daze siting on the ground a little bloody. The man who was there before was gone. "Strange..." She said to herself but proceed to help the girl.
"Are you alright?" Sailor Mercury asked walking over to examine the wound.
"I... I'm fine. I just need to go home and rest. Thank you. Is Culver alright?" Maura asked weakly. Changing subject to avoid any confrontation.
"uh... Yeah he'll be fine. Just a huge headache when he wakes up. Do you want some help?" Sailor Uranus comented watching Maura stumble upon herself in attempt so walk.
"No... I'll be fine." She insisted but just as she said that the wound in her side began bleeding more heavier and she fell forward almost passed out. Sailor Uranus managed to catch her.
"I think we should take her to the hospital. The wound looks pretty serious." Sailor Mercury noted. Sailor Uranus nodded. And they decided that Uranus and Mercury would take her there. And after they de-transformed everyone was off. the others were to go find luna and Artemis and figure out what was happening. And Neptune and Pluto were going to go scout the town for anymore clues, or disturbances....
"Welcome Ami. What's wrong?" Ami's mother the top doctor at the hospital asked. Ami was all flustered as if she had ran the whole way here. Which is exactly what she did.
"Mom. My friend. She got hurt. I need your help." Ami gasped.
"Okay. Right this way." Dr. Mizuro said quickly leading her and Haraku to a empty and secure room.
"What's the problem?" She asked as Haruka laid Maura on the medical bed.
"I'm not sure but she was attached and sliced in the side." Ami said. Dr. Mizuro nodded. she didn't question Ami very much and that's why ami loved her mother so much. She was so understanding.
"Why don't you all return back to school or something, Ami I'll call you on your cell when I get done here." Dr. Mizuro said. Ami nodded and with a hug she left with Haraku.
"Brave girls. You've only begun to embrace the fight..." Maura muttered as she watched the two girls leave. She wasn't 100 sure that they were the sailor scouts but she really didn't have any doubts. Terentia and Adrian came to get her later that day. Culver was there too, just in the room next to them unconscious...
(The Next Day) School started as usual. Everyone walking into the doors contemplating what had happened the day before. And Everyone was especially hyped because of the concert in the park later that afternoon. The Three Lights were going to be playing. And they were the big idles at that time. Thus the crowed of a dozen girls surrounding them as they attempted to get into the school.
"Geez. They don't even play their own instruments and look how popular they are!" Maura nagged.
"Yeah well your band was a hit in the USA. That doesn't mean that you were here." Terentia confirmed as she walked her sister to school.
"Yeah I guess... Hopefully though our band can gain some popularity after the concert." Maura said out loud.
"It will." Adrian said suddenly showing up.
"Oh? And how do you know that?" Maura asked.
"Cause our band is good. And we have some hot girl singing." Adrian teased. Maura stopped to give him a teasing shove but she failed and they ended up in a hug.
"oh please," Terentia said rolling her eyes, "But how did you get into the concert?" Terentia asked.
"Through an audition. They needed two bands and only had the one. So we showed up and got the part." Maura said rather soundly. Adrian now kissing her neck.
"I see. Adrian back off she's not a chew toy." Terentia said. She was always really defensive when it came to Maura's love life. She didn't want anything to go wrong. Adrian understandingly backed off. though not much.
"Alright. I'm off." terentia said suddenly looking at her watch. Though still in highschool she was taking classes at the university. A rarity for anyone.
"okay see you later!" Maura yelled as Adrian began walking away. he was going to go to class and study, he also was going to talk with the band. Which left Maura on her own. She was still a little sore and could help but flinch in pain after waving goodbye.
"Are you sure you'll be able to perform today?" Seiya asked walking up. Somehow his usually 'groupies' were gone.
Maura turned around a little to fast for her wound. She stumbled forward and Seiya caught her. "Thanks. And yes I should be fine." She said a little painfully. she just reopened the wound and it hurt.
"Well. Good luck then. I'm looking forward to it," Seiya said leaning in, "Personally Destiny for all Eternity (One of her band's songs.) Is my favorite" he winked. Maura felt a little color flush her cheeks. She'd never blushed before so why now?
"Uh... Thanks. Good luck to you." She said. But as she tried to get out of there she moved to fast.
"Do you want some help?" Seiya asked supporting her.
"No that's okay..." Maura said.
"No, no I insist." Seiya said and he began to help her get to the classroom.
"Tricky little devil aren't you starlight? But I won't let you toy with her heart." Adrian said watching from the roof. He wasn't going to class today. But he was watching Maura very closely. He felt sorry for her. She was always trying to play the big bad tuff guy when in all reality she was suffering beyond all imagination. "She carries too much on her shoulders..."
The day moved on. The Three Lights seemed to be talking with Maura the whole day. And the other girls were starting to get jealous. Maura however really just wanted to be alone. She wanted to sleep.
"There's something about her that is egging at me." Serena said. her and Mina were in a corner with lita and Ami discussing the 'new girl'.
"I know what you mean. It's almost as if there is some sort of weird energy coming from her." Lita said.
"I agree with you but my data still comes up with nothing. It's weird. What did luna and Artemis have to say about it all?"
"They think we have a new enemy to face. Do you think she could be one of them?" Mina asked.
"I don't know. It's a possibility. But then why would the yami be after her if she was on his side?" Ami questioned.
"I don't know. I think we should watch her closely." Lita said.
"I don't know. She seems rather normal to me." Serena thought out loud.
"Yeah and she looks a lot like you too Serena." Mina noted and they began to get deeper into the conversation...
Finally the day ended and Maura was out of there. she quickly hurried out the door and onto the grounds. but stopped abruptly realizing she forgot to do something. But just as she was thinking about it Haraku walked past.
"Haraku!" She yelled. Haraku stopped abruptly.
"Yeah?" She asked turning around to realize who called her.
"Here." Marua handed her an envelope.
"What is it?"
"Tickets for the concert tonight. It's a thank you for you and Ami bringing me to the hospital." Maura said then walked off.
"Thanks..." Haraku said to the wind, "But I don't need them..."
"MOM I'M HOME!" Serena yelled walking the room.
"Hello honey how was school?" Her mother asked back. She looked down as she slipped her shoes off. there was a empty spot where Rini's shoes use to be. A sigh came over her.
"It was alright. I'm going to go take a nap though." She yelled rushing up to her room. She even managed to skip her after school snack.
Once she got in her room she noticed Luna wasn't there. She must have gone to do more analysis on the new enemy. Serena thought. But that didn't matter she plopped down on her bed and was asleep instantly. Though it wasn't a dream she got. Instead it was a memory...
There Serena was. Only she was in the Silver Millennium and a little kid. The scouts were outside practicing to defend their new princess. Serena was in her mother's room with silk sheets and a bed curtain that made it look even more magical than it already was.
"Serenity dear, now that you are old enough I will warn you. Do not look in any mirror." Her mother, Queen Serenity said.
"But why mommy? Little Serenity asked.
"Because my precious daughter. The thing you may see in the glass is evil. It's to be feared and it will pull you in."Queen Serenity said.
"Alright mommy..." Serenity said walking off. She sat and watched her guardian goddesses duel each other. but eventually she grew bored and curios. Soon she found herself traveling to the center of the castle. There, laid a large 'bowl' or small pool that was called the water mirror. It was used mostly for magical purposes. But It was used as a mirror too. Serena liked it as such. Especially since Queen Serenity prohibited mirrors within the palace.
"I don't know what she meant. But maybe if I look... just once... I will be able to understand." Serenity thought. She looked into the pool of crystal water. A warning showed followed by her mother's face. she simply ignored it. She also ignored the voices that were calling for her. She looked harder in the mirror.
"IL beg for no magic. Just the mirror itself." She muttered. As she said this the mirror solidified and was just a mirror. Serenity looked deep into it and only saw her reflection.
"What a waste. I wonder why mother said what she did?" Serenity thought out loud. But just as she looked away she was suddenly drawn back.
"silly little girl..." A evil childish voice almost similar to that of Serenity said back to her.
"What? My reflection! It's talking to me!" Serenity screamed. Despite her efforts she couldn't look away. Her reflection began changing... Her hair turned a dark shade of purple, the silver crescent moon reversed and turned black, her clothes turned into a renaissance type dress with dark colors and her eyes turned blood red. She was the evil reflection of Serenity.
"Silly little girl who has released the seal..." The voice said back. It then began to laugh.
"What are you?" Serenity demanded.
"what am I? Ha! I am your death." The girl laughed back she then began drawing Serenity into the watery death the mirror held.
"Stop! Wait! no! Help!" Serenity yelled restraining as best she could.
"Come, come. It's not so horrible to die. Let me show you the wonder it holds..." the girl cracked. Serenity was now terrified. She was so frightened that she didn't notice the hard of people who came into the mythical room.
"Serenity!" Queen Serenity yelled running to her daughter.
"What has happened Artemis?" Sailor Venus asked amazed at the sight in which she saw.
"The unknown daughter. The one who was hidden from existence now seeks revenge. Or to claim what is her's. Right now she wants to claim the life of her other half." Artemis said a look of worry crossed his face.
"The daughter of death has awoken..." Luna muttered under her breath...
Serenity suddenly was pulled back from the grasp that mysteriously had a hold on her. She landed in her mother's lap and began to cry. She cried the rest of the evening until finally she wore herself to sleep. From that day on her guardians rarely left her sight....
"Serena?" Rei asked sitting beside Serena's bed. Serena snapped up.
"What is it? What's wrong?" Mina asked sensing the strain Serena was going through.
"I just... I just had a memory..." Serena said. She then buried her face in her hands and began crying.
"Princess..." Haruka said sitting next to Serena and placing an arm around her.
"What was it about?" Luna asked. She was sitting worriedly at the foot of the bed.
"I'm not quite sure. It was with this big water mirror thing in the center of the palace and the Queen telling me not to look into any mirrors. And I did and... and... and..." Serena muttered then began crying once again.
"Then the reflection morphed and attempted to pull you in." Luna finished. By the time she had finished everyone in the room except the outer senshi remembered. All were silent and worried.
"What does this mean?" Mina asked. Being the first to speak.
Luna looked at them still worried and said, "Right now scouts... I don't know."
