The Death of a Senshi: Tears of Mercury.
The tears lay still in her eyes, forbidden to fall. She stood her ground looking at her foe with pure determination, while inside she cried, her heart wounded severely. Her body is covered in wounds, cuts from a sword, small nicks against the giant hole her had created in her heart. Her leotard was slashed, showing bare skin, a rare sight for her.
She breathed deeply, trying to block the cries from her friends as they were afflicted with wound similar to hers. She glared her tormentor, her usually warm eyes frosting over as her power over her element grew. The temperature surrounding her drastically dropped, and she heard sharp cracks as brittle pieces of rubble broke at the sudden iciness.
Still gathering her power, she began to move, forming a large attack with complicated movements of her hands. Suddenly one punched forward and a bright blast of blue ice followed its directional movement. The man in front of her managed to dodge it, the ice scratching one side of his lower torso and her snarled at her, before disappearing. She looked around, grasping with one hand for her computers help, her eyes searching for the tiniest flicker of movement. Damn him and his ability to teleport with such ease. Where was he?
He appeared behind her, wrapping his strong arms that had once comforted and held her, around her lithe form. His breath was cool on the back of her neck, as he turns her face to his. Their eyes met; dark blue and light green. She stopped her struggles, held firmly in such a familiar embrace. Their lips touched and she felt her love burst from her, a warm feeling in her chest melting the ice that surrounded her.
A sharp wave of pain shocked her from her musings. She looked down at her chest, at the small dagger embed above her heart and the hand clenched around it. She watched the hand push it in deeper, twisting it, and gave a cry of pain as the warm crimson fluid began to flow from her chest. She glanced at the one who had caused this wound, her eyes full of contempt and even rage. But compassion still lingered in them.
He chuckled, a sound that once brought shivers of delight to her, but now drew shudders of disgust, and captured her lips with his again. His arm released her, and she fell, for what felt like an age, before landing with a large thump on the now destroyed stairs that lead to the Moon Castle, her blue eyes locking on the form of her friend and fellow soldier. Venus. And her. The Princess. Serenity.
Her hand groped for her computer for one last attack and found it. But so did he. His foot came down her hand, crushing it and the computer. She gave another cry of pain, a few tears leaking from her icy eyes.
Her mind began to fill with haze; her eyes still pined on her tormentor, as he stood above her, watching her life flow from her. Her fuku felt sticky, and she could fell the pool of crimson grow beneath her. Her eyes fluttered involuntarily, and she lost control of her neck. Her head fell to the side, and she watched his black boots walk away from her.
Summoning the last of her strength she created a shard of ice, small yet strong. Aiming at his heart she let it fly, choking back a sob as it impaled him through his heart, its point just visible trough the tear in his uniform. She watched the splinter of frost taint pink as his blood begins to slide down the smooth edge. Her eyes closed, not wanting to see anymore of what she had done, who she had hurt. In her heart break, she used her last breath to whisper his name. Zoisite.
The tears she had been holding from the moment she saw him slipped out, and she cried silently as her heart beat its last beat. She drew a shuddering gasp of air, and then, Princess Hermia, Sailor Mercury, the Senshi of Wisdom and Ice, was no more.
