Chapter 4-Senshi Buffy?


Buffy sat in the back of Haruka's car and watched the bizarre world zip by. She looked down at herself and saw that she was looking a little bit cartoony too.

Beep, beep. Michiru flipped open her watch. A voice came through. "I will meet you guys at Rei's temple. There was a great storm at the time gate and it was very unusual. So I went to check on Crystal Tokyo. It was gone. The entire timeline was erased and Earth was facing total destruction. Sailor Moon was transported into another dimension that was out of my reach."

"What is going on?" Haruka asked, not really expecting an answer. She looked into the rear-view mirror and caught sight of a very sad Buffy. She had seen that expression on Sailor Moon's face before.

"Look, maybe we don't need to hurry with this," Haruka said.

"What? What are you talking about?" Michiru asked.

"I am just saying, we need to kill the Messiah of Silence. This would be our best chance. She's still just a little girl now. But if the Messiah awakens, then it's too late. We can bring Sailor Moon back when we are finished our mission. That way, we fulfilled our duty and still preserve the future timeline." Haruka tried to explain herself. What she was thinking was despicable, she knew. Yet, she must carry on in order to save the world. "This is our duty. Sacrifice one, save billions."

"No. You are wrong." Buffy said quietly.

"What?" surprised, Michiru turned to look at the slayer.

"You are talking about killing an innocent girl in order to save the world right? She may be the key that opened all the hell dimensions, but I will NOT sacrifice her." The slayer wasn't talking about the Messiah of Silence anymore. "Two years ago, I drove a sword straight through my boyfriend's heart. I love him so much. It was the only way. I was sure. So, he was sent to hell and the world didn't end. Faced with the same decision today, I choose not to kill." Buffy clenched her fists as she remembered her past sacrifices. "This little girl, she has "evil" inside her? So does my little sister. Up till a few months ago, she was a glowing ball of energy. Then she was turned into a human. With it, consciousness and humanity. Giles thought I should kill her. See, he loves Dawn too, my little sister. But he was willing. So this little girl you guys are talking about, she has her consciousness and humanity as well. If you have to sacrifice someone in order to save the world, then the world isn't worth saving. There is always a way." That last sentence was meant for the Sailor soldiers, but it was meant for herself as well. Buffy needed to believe, that she and the scooby gang would come up with a way to save Dawn and the world.

Haruka and Michiru fell silent. How funny that a few months ago, Usagi sat in that exact same spot and gave them the same lecture. This girl would fit in well with the inner scouts. She could easily be, a sailor senshi, if she was from this world.

The car came to a stop in front of a temple. "We are here," Haruka announced.
