Chapter Three: The Power of Destruction

*Start Fallen Leaves Star Ocean*

Sammy groans as he wakes up on Thursday morning. He felt extremely tired due to schoolwork and his secret training at the small lake. He leans up and hops off the bed. Sammy grabs his clothes from the closet and walks inside his bathroom. Before he walks to the shower he has a good look at his body at the body mirror on the door of the bathroom. His muscles are more defined now and he as a good 4 pack abs now. Sammy takes off his pajamas and walks inside the shower.

*Inside Serena's Room*

"Luna what was yesterday's report on Sammy?" Serena asks her cat.

"The same thing as the last couple days… He's still training and he might be talking to the spirit that might be residing in his body. This… Albel character…" Luna said thinking.

"We haven't seen anything like those Executioners that Albel, or whoever possessed his body…" Serena said. "Could he be lying to us?"

"Maybe so…" Luna said. "But we can't be too sure. Keep your guard up Serena." Luna cautioned the disguised Moon Princess.

Serena nods and starts changing for school. Surprisingly she woke up earlier than what she's used to.

*Inside Sammy's Room*

Sammy changes into his clothes for school [screw uniforms!]. He's wearing a skin-tight black shirt with a design of white angel wings on the back. He's wearing black jeans that have white thorn like designs going up the pant legs. He puts on his grey pack and goes downstairs into the living room. Sammy grasps his head with one hand and a small white-ish blue circle appears above his forehead.

"Ah…. My… head…." Sammy groans as his head ached.

The ache fades and Sammy gets back up. The circle vanishes as well.

"What was that just now?" Sammy asks himself quietly.

Sammy walks out the door and decides to forget the headache. He thought it was the blood rushing into his head. He looks up and is in awe.

*Stop Falling Leaves and Start Eternal Mind Tales of the Abyss*

"It's An Executioner!" Fayt yells.

"Damn!" Albel cursed. "It's a Proclaimer. It's one of the more difficult Executioners!"

The Proclaimer looked like an angel. It has a flawless face and her eyes are closed.

"We will destroy this world. In the name of the Creator, you will die first!" It proclaimed [AN wow unintentional pun], pointing at Sammy.

"Oh hell…" Sammy said as dashed past the Proclaimer.

The Proclaimer flew after Sammy shooting green blasts of energy at him.

"You who hold the power of Destruction… You will fall!" It yelled.

Serena looks out her window to see Sammy dash out of the house and after him an angel-like being flew after him shooting blasts out of her hands.

"What the…" She said slightly confused but she shook off the confusion and transformed into Eternal Sailor Moon.

She calls the other Sailor Senshi and told them of the situation. Basically she panicked and she jumbled up her words as she started to chase after the angel-like thing that is attacking her little brother. Luckily Luna took the liberty of translating for her.

Sammy dashes past a store and looked behind him. The Proclaimer is pretty far away, but it's getting closer and closer.

"Is there any disguise I can use Fayt?" Sammy asks quietly.

"Yeah… Why do you ask?" He asks.

"Because I don't want people to know that I'm their only hope, a little 15 year old kid." Sammy said. "It wouldn't look good. It would cause a worldwide panic."

"Yeah… It certainly would." Fayt said. "Imagine a mask."

Sammy thought of a mask he saw in a game called Tales of Destiny II. The legendary Judas Mask. It's said that the mask can conceal any identity even though it had the person wearing it looked obvious. Sammy felt a hard surface appearing on his face and he saw the Judas Mask on his face by looking at a nearby window reflection in an alleyway he ran in so as little people as possible would see the mask appear. Sammy smiles and hoped it would work. He summons his energy katana and ran to the in front of Jubaan High, where the Proclaimer suddenly appeared in front of him and slammed twin energy blasts on his chest, sending him back a couple of feet. Sammy recovered from the blasts and landed on his feet. He looked at his shirt and thanked Albel and Fayt silently for teaching him how to use his aura to make an impenetrable shield unless it was hit by a major attack because this is one of his favorite shirts.

"What the hell was that?" Sammy asks Fayt and Albel.

"It's one of their abilities. It's called Speed Hack. They can instantly teleport in front or behind you and attack. It's fairly easy to block though." Albel said.

"Just watch out for their Divine Wave technique. It'll hurt if you get hit by that." Fayt said.

Sammy nods as he dashes towards it and slashes. The Proclaimer floated to the side and shot a green energy blast at him. Sammy jumped to the side dodging the energy blast and one of his feet started glowing white.

"Side Kick!" Sammy yells as he used his glowing foot and he kicked the Proclaimer.

The Proclaimer flew several feet back. All of a sudden several elemental attacks hit her from all sides. The Sailor Scouts dashes towards her but it send green waves at them, sending them back several feet. Sammy goes to Sailor Mercury and helps her up.

"Who are you?" She asks.

"I'm… the Masked Swordsman." Sammy said as he looked at the Proclaimer.

"Was there a kid that was being a chased by that thing?" Sailor Mercury asks worried.

'Why would she be worried for me?' Sammy thought to himself before he answered, "I helped him escape." He said.

"Sailor Moon, the man in the mask… he uses the same type of weapon that Sammy uses." Luna whispered to her charge.

"Really that could mean…" She whispered back, "That Sammy's fighting that thing? But how is that possible?"

"He was training for something… maybe this was it." Luna whispered.

"This is an Executioner…" Sammy said to the Scouts. "I'll handle this."

When he said that was an Executioner they knew Masked Swordsman was Sammy. They never forgot that night several days ago.

"Air Slash!" Sammy yells sending a large shockwave at the Proclaimer with a swipe of the katana.

Sammy glowed blue for a moment and dashed towards the Proclaimer.

"Shotgun Blast!" Sammy yells as he shot bursts of flames out of his free hand and into the Proclaimer's body.

"Die Scion of Destruction!" The Proclaimer yells.

The Proclaimer shot a bolt of light at Sammy but he sidestepped the light blast. He heard a familiar scream and he turned around, to see his mother, with a bag of groceries falling on the ground along with her with a bloody wound on her stomach.

"MOM!" Sammy yells in anguish.

Sammy fell on his knees and he started to cry. The Proclaimer is about to kill Sammy with a bolt of light until a large spray of water hit the Proclaimer making it stagger.

"Masked Swordsman! Snap out of it!" Mercury yells as she and the other scouts try to defeat the Proclaimer.

Sammy felt so many emotions in his heart right now most of them he didn't know he could feel. But the most obvious emotion is anguish. Anguish that his mother is hurt by his little mistake. He felt anger. He is angry at himself for letting his mom get hit. Anger at his own carelessness. The last known emotion he has is hatred. Hatred at the Proclaimer that dared hurt his mother. Fayt and surprisingly Albel are trying to calm Sammy down from his intense anger and sorrow. Sammy didn't care anymore. He gets up slowly and glares at the Proclaimer who's fending off the Sailor Senshi.

"You son of a BITCH!" Sammy yells as he charges at the Executioner that dared hurt one of his family.

Sammy slashes with fury added to the grace he fought with. The Executioner gets hit continuously by Sammy's slashes and kicks while the Senshi used their elemental attacks from afar while Uranus and Jupiter hit it with their fists and kicks. Sammy felt a power welling up inside him. Above his forehead, instead of a circle, it is a white glyph. Mercury is scanning Sammy with her visor again.

"Everyone get back! He's charging for a powerful attack!" She yells.

The Senshi jumped back as Sammy floats into the air glowing white-ish blue. An image of a pure white-ish blue angel appears behind him holding a glyph exactly like the one above Sammy's forehead. Its wings are spread out sending pure white feathers flying around the battle field. Fayt is screaming at Sammy to not use his ultimate attack but Sammy is too stricken with emotion to listen.

"This is for my mother…. Ethereal… BLAST!" Sammy yells.

The angel after hearing the word, 'Blast' it shot a large beam of pure light and destruction at the Proclaimer. The Proclaimer didn't last a second as soon as the beam of destruction hit it. It disintegrated into little particles. The blast expanded and there then it vanished. White feathers flew about as Sammy floats slowly to the ground and into Mercury's waiting arms. Sammy is unconscious from the energy expended to use the beautiful, but deadly Ethereal Blast. Amy slowly strokes Sammy's hair away his eyes and she felt something in her heart but she didn't know what it was.

*End Eternal Mind Start Inori no Kanata ToS anime*

"What the heck was that?" Sailor Mini-Moon asks her future mother.

"I have no idea Mini-Moon… I haven't seen an attack so beautiful before… but it was so scary…" Sailor Moon said.

Everyone silently agreed with their leader.

"The Executioner called him the Scion of Destruction…" Sailor Uranus said.

"Was that really the power of pure destruction? It looked so beautiful though…" Sailor Neptune said.

Mercury picks up Sammy in her arms.

"We better transform near Rei's temple and let Sammy rest there for a bit." She whispered to her allies. "It looks like school is canceled for today because of the attack.

The Senshi nodded. Sailor Moon went to her mother and uses her power to heal her mother's wounds. She then picks her up and puts her on a bench with her groceries. She nods and they roof jump to Rei's temple. Inside Sammy's consiousness Fayt is watching the Senshi.

[The picture fades to see 3 images, one of Sammy unconsious, one of Sailor Mercury/Amy worrying for him, and one of Fayt with a saddened look in his eyes.]
