Disclaimer: Nope, still don't own Sailor Moon or Highlander.

A/N: I just wanna make something clear: while Serena isn't opposed to a frolick with another female, she's technically straight. This will be an M/F story, but I've yet to decide on Serena's true love interest.

Chapter 3: Jadeite's End Part 1

Juuban Airport

11:50 P.M.

August 7, 1997

No matter the time of day, one thing for certain is that an airport, or at least the major international ones, were always busy. True, it slowed way down in the middle of the night, but large airports still had planes landing and taking off at all hours of the night.

Tonight, however, the Juuban Airport was dead quiet.

Earlier today, an ominous voice had resounded through the city putting forth a challenge to the city's protectors: The Sailor Scouts.

More specifically, Sailors Moon, Mercury and Mars.

The voice's challenge was to meet 'him' at the airport at midnight for one final battle. Aside from the scouts themselves, only a few others knew who that voice even was.

Jadeite, one of the four deadly Generals under the command of the evil Queen Beryl. Standing now awaiting the heroines was Jadeite himself, who had insured that they would not be interrupted from others by knocking out all employees, including security. Although Jadeite was eager to finish the scouts, it was one young lady in paticular he was lookin forward to killing.

Centuries ago, all four Generals had been killed in battle while trying to protect Endymion, the prince of Earth. When they had awoken, suprisingly alive, they were found by Beryl, who convinced them that Endymion's arrogance had killed them. She then informed them that they were immortal, and unless they lost their heads, they coud not die. Convinced by her words, the four swore their allegiance to her.

After awakening in this time, Beryl had enlisted Jadeite to begin stealing the human's energy to awaken Queen Metalia, a being of pure evil. During his second attempt to steal energy, (his first being a moderate success), he met Serena Tsukino, who was immortal like him. Since they seemed to have no disagreements, they did not fight. However, shortly thereafter, he met Sailor Moon who was trying to ruin his operation. He immediately recognized her, and she, him. However the two did not engage in a sword fight, as the presence of both his Youma and Tuxedo Mask insured that both played their part.

Only once had it almost come to that...

Flashback

August 4, 1997

10:40 P.M.

Luxury Liner Romantic Cruise

One aspect of the Disguise Pen that Luna had given her, one that Serena completely loved, was that the disguise actually hid her Quickening! That isn't to say that she couldn't still feel them; but the Pen somehow not only disguised her features, but also her immortal nature as well.

When she had first come on board and had run into 'Captain' Jadeite down in engineering, she had almost freaked when she first felt, then saw him. However, when he simply saw her as nothing more than the photographer she was disguised as, she had breathed a sigh of relief. Later, however, she and Luna had overheard Jadeite plotting with another Immortal, this one a Youma!

And now, here she was outside of the reception hall, where all of the other guests, including Ami and Rei, were being held.

"Usagi!" said Luna urgently. "Here it is!"

Serena nodded. Calling out, she stated, "Moon Prism Power, Makeup!"

Immediately, as she had the past few months, Serena felt the power of her brooch ignite, quickly transforming her into the superheroine, Sailor Moon.

"Well done, Tetis," said Jadeite as he prepared to return to Queen Beryl with the stolen energy. Suddenly, both General and monster felt the unmistakeable sensation of the Quickening.

"Hold it right there, Jadeite!"

Immediately Ami, who was the only one concious alongside Rei, shouted out, "Sailor Moon!"

"I knew it was a good idea to sneak aboard, and now I see why. Your misdeeds at trying to hurt young lovers will not go unanswered! In the name of the moon, I will punish you!

"But how?" Jadeite asked. "I should have sensed you!"

Sailor Moon smirked. "Afraid not J." She had given him the nickname months ago, just to infuriate him.

And it worked.

Turning to his minion, Jadeite shouted, "Kill her! Take her head!"

Turning to the superheroine, Tetis leaped for her as she shouted, "I am your opponent!" Elongating her arms, she smashed Serena through the window, onto the deck below. Smirking, Serena quickly got back on her feet as she called forth the Blade of the Moon. Eager to fight the immortal heorine, Tetis called her own blade: "Tsunami Sword!"

As the two quickly engaged in combat, Ami and Rei quickly transformed before easily disposing of the water beings that Tetis had summoned.

"Come on. Sailor Moon needs us!" Ami exclaimed.

Rei nodded, and the two ran out to the deck, only to suprisingly watch as their leader held her own in a sword fight with the Youma. However, Tetis quickly got the best of Serena, and knocked her sword away.

Smirking she stated, "There can be only Beryl!" Before she could strike however, she quickly lost her vision when Sailor Mercury called out, "Bubble Spray!" which quickly enshrouded the deck in mist.

Sailor Mars followed that up with a, "Fire Soul!" which knocked Tetis' sword from her hand.

"Now, Sailor Moon!" Ami called.

Nodding, Serena grasped her tiara, which quickly turned into a disc. "Moon Taira, Action!" she called, before flinging the disc. Tetis, sensing the disc, dove out of the way. Chuckling she said, "Nice try, bitch!" Unbeknownst to her, however, the disc immediately came back, and sliced through Tetis neck. Mercury and Mars watched in shock as the demoness' body and head seperated before falling. But nothing could prepare them for what came next.

As Jadeite left swearing vengance while taking the collected energy back, the ship suddenly pulsed with energy. The two scouts watched as Serena stood, stating, "There can be only one!" before lightning began seering all around. A mist rose from Tetis, entering Serena as she felt the power of the Quickening burning into her. Mars and Mercury watched this amazing phenomenon, before it finally stopped, and Moon was on her knees. Lookig up at her two partners, Serena gave a weak smile before saying, "I guess I have some explaining to do," before she passed out.

End Flashback

Jadeite growled as he clenched his fist. Beryl had threatened to take his head if he didn't finish the Scouts tonight. He would make them pay for all of his defeats. Especially Serena Tsukino for killing Tetis.
