Two Sides To Everything

Chapter 7: Final Confrontation

"Great!! This is just wonderful!" Sailor Moon shouted in annoyance. All Jupiter could say was uh, oh. What were they going to do? Kiryo was loose again, and right back after Chibi-Usa. Sailor Mercury took out her mini computer and tried to locate Kiryo.

"Um, that is strange," the girls looked at her puzzled; waiting for an explanation of what was strange. "I have located Kiryo, but...she is not evil," Everyone followed Sailor Mercury until she reached a creek where the princess was standing, staring into the water. She looked up at the girls, and smiled a warm smile like when they first met her. Her eyes were no longer that icy cold blue, but soft and caring. No black wings or red dress, just Kiryo in a light purple spring dress.

"Hi guys!" she said, "How's it going? Haven't seen you for a while,"

The scouts and the sisters just turned to each other trying to figure out what was going on.

"What are you planning, Kiryo?" asked Mars in a harsh tone.

"Well, I was hoping we could go on a nice picnic again. Or maybe something else?" she greatly confused the girls.

"A picnic??!! What do you think we are? A bunch of idiots? We know you are just trying to get to Chibi-Usa by acting like your old self, but we know you are evil," Venus yelled at her.

"Evil? What do you mean?" Kiryo looked just as confused as the girls did.

"Why don't you just come with us?" Sailor Moon told her.

"Well, ok," Kiryo started to walk towards them when she suddenly fell to her knees and put her hands on each side of her head, screaming, "No leave me alone!!" Her body was taken over by fire, just like before, and now, Kiryo was back to the way she was about 30 minutes ago.

"You'll never take me!" She yelled at the group, and jumped from the ground taking off in the air, flying higher and higher. "I know where you are hiding her,"

"No, Chibi-Usa!"

Birdie sat in the living room, reading a book and eating grapes, when she heard a slight thump come from the room Chibi-Usa was staying in. She got up from the couch and opened the door to the room.

"Chibi-Usa? You ok? I thought I heard a...oh, no," Birdie stood in the doorway and stared at an empty room.

"We gotta hurry!" Sailor Moon yelled back at the other girls as they ran to the apartment. They all hurried up the stairs to the 3rd floor where Birdie waited to tell them the bad news.

"Not again...NOT AGAIN!!!!" With all of Sailor Moon's anger built up, she became her eternal form, her pure white wings behind her. She ran toward the open balcony doors and jumped, vanishing from sight, then reappearing, soaring with her wings spread wide as she glided through the air. The group stood in awe as they watched her fly away.

"We need to follow her. She must be going back to the castle," Prisma said as she walked out the door.

"I wish Mamoru was here," Sailor Moon thought to herself. "He probably has no idea what is going on, we were in such a hurry, I didn't get to tell him anything," She landed in front of the door they had entered before and hurried inside, down the halls, and pressed the secret button. Quickly, she moved to the hidden room and flung the door open to find Kiryo standing over the lava pit. She lifted Chibi-Usa over her head.

"Your too late, Sailor Moon, the worlds are mine!" She looked as if she was about to throw Chibi-Usa in, but it was as if something over took her body. "No!! Leave me alone, get out of my head!!" She looked like she was in agony. "Nothing can stop me, not even you!" But Kiryo wasn't talking to Sailor Moon.

"What is going on?" she yelled to the evil princess.

Suddenly, Kiryo looked calm, "Hurry, take Chibi-Usa before she comes back, save your daughter! AHHHHHH!! No!" she changed again, "You can not take control any longer!" She grabbed Chibi-Usa, once again lifting her over her head. The rest of the girls came through the door just in time to see Chibi-Usa be tossed toward the pit, and something that had never happened before.

"NO!!!!!" Sailor Moon screamed, and then, her whole body glowed with what looked to be white flames. She kicked off the ground and flew up to catch her daughter only a moment before she would have landed in the pit. Softly, she landed and walked over to the rest of the group, and in a beautiful, echoing voice told them about Kiryo.

"Go get her from there, hurry. Bring outside with us," Jupiter and Mars grabbed her and brought her down, following Sailor Moon outside. Two guards came running up towards Sailor Moon, and she put her hand out in front of her, sending the guards flying backwards. This power she had now, it was as if she had the power of a goddess. Had she become a goddess? No, just gained such a power out of love to save her little girl.

"Let me go!" Kiryo screamed as she tried to fight back. Jupiter and Mars fell to the ground as Kiryo smacked them with her wings. She charged towards Sailor Moon, who turned around and put her palm out towards Kiryo, which stopped her in her tracks.

"You can not hurt us anymore," Sailor Moon said, her voice was a heavenly resonating sound.

"I will not let it end like this! I will destroy you no matter what!!" Kiryo told her, an evil grin crossed her face. "If I am going down, I will take you all with me," All of the girls could feel Kiryo's power building higher and higher, she was going to destroy herself to try and kill them all.

"Here take Chibi-Usa!" Catsi came over and took little Chibi-Usa out of her mother's arms. Sailor Moon put both of her hands up and made a circular motion. A bubble formed around Kiryo only seconds before there was a great impact inside it. When the smoke inside of the bubble cleared away, there was nothing inside, she had completely vaporized herself.

"Why would she want to do that?" Minako asked out loud.

"There was something not right with her," Sailor Moon explained, "Not only was she evil, but her mind consisted of more than one personality. She had personality identity disorder, a type of schizophrenia. That is why she didn't know what was going on when we found her by the creek."

"Schizophrenic??!!" Everyone was shocked.

"Yes, the urge of wanting the power and ruling over both dimensions drove her mad, and caused her to adapt a second personality. The odd thing is, the second personality was good, and tried to help us. By the end, Kiryo could not keep this personality suppressed, which is one reason she destroyed herself,"

The rest of the walk back, the girls were all silent. Was this all real? No one knew what to think.

They finally reached the apartment, and Sailor Moon went inside and sat on the couch. As soon as she sat down, the glowing power she had faded and she transformed back into her normal self, passing out from the exhaustion of having to maintain such strong power.

"Let her rest before you all go back home, she is very tired."

"Usagi? Usagi? Time to wake up. We need to go home now," Makoto's voice became more clear as Usagi became less groggy as she woke up.

"How long have I been asleep?"

"About two hours,"

"Let's go home,"

The four sisters transported them all back to their dimension. When they arrived they said their good-byes quickly before they parted ways.

"Thank you very much, Sailor Moon. You have done a great thing in helping us protect the dimensions. We are greatly appreciative of all you have done. Continue protecting this dimension, and we will also continue protecting ours. Maybe one day we will be able to fight side by side again,"

"It would be a pleasure to be teamed with you once again," After they watched the sisters leave, they all headed back home. Of course, Usagi and Chibi-Usa went to Mamoru's house first.

"Mamoru?" Usagi said as she opened the door to his apartment.

"USAGI!!" He ran up to her and wrapped his arms around her, she could see the concern in his eyes. "Where have you been? I was so worried!"

"Everything is alright now. It is a long story, but first I want to tell you how much I love you,"

THE END
