Sailor Moon 2040
Chapter 7: Battle For The Generations
Abel, leader of the Hunters walked out of a hidden doorway, approaching the seven warriors slowly, hands clapping in a sarcastic manner.
"Ah, Queen Rini and her loyal Knights, and a traitor I see. I've was hoping my Lieutenant would have destroyed you, but it appears that job belongs to me."
Abel moved with such speed that not even Michael could keep up with him; he sent a powerful kick into Deimos chest, grabbing him by the arm and swinging him right into Telesta. Next, he sent a torrent of blue fire in the direction of Michael, who had prepared to go on the offense, and, rushing out of his own fire, glaring at his former grunt, Abel sent a fist into the swordsman's jaw with such force that he flew through a concrete wall.
"The Hunters are a race of people who have been kept down, below the line of humanity. We were forced by the old ones to hunt for sport, but they never experienced the utter joy one felt when reveling in the blood of their defeated opponent! Could you possibly begin to fathom the planning I had to go through?" Abel then snapped his fingers, metal spikes shooting up from the ground and impaled Larissa against the floor, another spike turning into chains and binding Memas to the floor. Afterwards he would grab Titania by the hair and run with her against the ground, throwing her up and landing a double kick, sending her crashing to the ground.
"Foolish warriors, drunk on the hope of returning your families. Do you have the faintest inkling of understanding what I had to do? To gather a group of warriors who shared the same views as I did? I spent months figuring out how to assassinate Duma, only to find out he had reincarnated." He turned to face a noise, looking to see Michael standing up.
"Abel… I didn't join because of your view." Michael had limped out from his hole, and struggled to hold his sword up; the impact of going through the wall had broken one of his arms.
"I made a promise to my mother long ago, that if Lucifer ever went against the Old Ways, that I'd stop him. I was merely keeping tabs on my brother."
"You never could see past 'what is.' Always living in the now, never focusing on what 'could be' the future!" Abel ran forward and jumped, spin kicking Michael in the chest, who fell onto the ground, coughing. He then turned to Rini and cracked his knuckles. Rini stood her ground, but the leader was on her quickly, throwing her first into the ground, then picking her up and slamming her against another wall, one hand wrapped around her throat to strangle her.
"Do you know how hard it is to be noticed for your true talents?! Do you understand the ways of other beings, what they have to do in order just to suffice in the galaxies vast darkness? DO YOU?! I SAY, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NOT! AT! ALL!!!" Abel punched Rini once in the stomach, once in the ribs, and finally once in the face to impact the final three words. She collapsed to the ground, bruised, her hands going to her stomach.
"My baby.." she whispered.
"Hmm?" Abel looked down at her, calming himself down and putting on a visage of complete calmness.
"My baby, will help the future generations unite. To achieve peace."
"Hmph. You and your little baby can go be with your King." Abel leapt high into the air, holding one hand out. Rini looked up, seeing a blast shooting right for her, and shut her eyes tightly.
"Rini? Rini, wake up dear." A woman's voice spoke softly, a hand on Sailor Mini Moon's arm. Opening her eyes slowly, she would see Neo-Queen Serenity and King Endymion standing over her sleeping figure.
"Mommy… am I dead?" Rini asked
"No, my child. You're quite fine. Look."
The girl sat up, looking around to see all of the Knights unharmed, and Michael was there as well, watching over the event.
"Rini, you're going to need help to defeat Abel. Right now he is preparing to destroy the Moon, and then the Galaxy will be next."
"But how Mommy?"
"Hey, Princess.." said a familiar voice, turning to look behind her, she would let out a cry of joy. Alex stood with his arms crossed over his chest, Lita and Gokan standing behind him. Jumping up, she would hug him, and he would return the hug in kind, before the two floated into the air, away from the others.
(Bless The Little Queen plays.)
"Alex, I'm a little confused. How is everyone here?"
"You're all in a limbo, we're here to give you what will be needed to fight. Mother, Father, Amy, Rei, Mina, Amara, Michelle, Trista, Hotaru, Serenity, and Endymion have been witnessing the battles, seeing the Knights grow in both strength and maturity." Alex would take his hand and place it onto Rini's tummy, smiling.
"What.. Would you like to name the child?"
"If it's a girl.. I'd like to name it Lita, after your mother."
Alex blushed, nodding, he would look around at the infinite whiteness.
"And if it's a boy?"
" How does Isato sound?"
"I think it's a fine name. Rini, I love you more than anything, and I'll always watch over you. Now it's your turn to fight. You have to shape the next generation."
The two floated down to the other warriors, the Royal Court smiled at them, nodding and giving words of luck. Alex held his pendant up to all of them.
"I will you give you the power you need to combat Abel." They all placed a hand onto it, and he looked over to Michael.
"You are also deserving of this power, friend. You are the Sailor Knight.. Of Earth."
Michael gasped, and slowly walked over, placing a hand onto the pendant. The warriors began to glow. Rini turned to face her parents, who in returned gave her a reassuring smile before the group vanished back to their world.
Abel had turned around the moment he felt their presence, shaking his head.
"Impossible! I know for a fact I killed you!"
There they were, The Sailor Knights, their auras shone brilliantly. Mini Moon would grow a pair of two white, beautiful wings, Telesta's were green, Memas' purple, Larissa's aqua marine, Titania's orange, Deimos' red, and Michael, now Sailor Knight Earth wore the outfit of a Knight, the coloring red and black, with matching wings. Mini Moon stood in the center of the group, with Kain, Nina, and Michael one side, and Misty, Tatiana, and Drake on the other, all turned to face Abel.
"Our friends' and families hopes and dreams are etched into our wings! Transforming this infinite darkness into light! Unmatched in our Galaxy! One body, one soul, equal to the SUPREME HUNTERS! We're going to show you the power of friendship!" said Rini, a fist clenched in front of her.
"Because even if we're trapped in the endless cycle of Life and Death." said Misty
"The hope that we have will open the door and show us the path!" said Tatiana
" And if every Hunter wants to come after us." spoke Kain
" Our Fighting Spirit will cut through them and shape the future!" declared Michael.
" We'll break through your power and darkness." Nina said.
"And show you our destiny through battle!" Drake said, Duma possessing him.
"SAILOR KNIGHT…. GALAXY FORCE." Rini called.
"JUST WHO IN THE HELL DO YOU THINK WE ARE?!" Everyone said in unison.
(She's Got The Power plays)
Next, the six Knights vanished, all turning into light and entering Rini. She would grow one wing each, one for each Knight and their color, a total of eight wings! Rini then held her hands out in front of her, a light appearing. Different weapons appeared in front of her; A black and red sword with flames, a pair of green gloves, a purple bow and arrow, an aqua marine violin, an orange hammer, a red naginata, and finally a blue sword; the Europa Blade. Snatching it into her hand, the sword would glow pink and transform. Rini now held in her hand a pink rapier, with a pink heart shaped hand guard, and a silver heart shaped silver crystal at the bottom of the handle.
"I'll destroy you, insolent woman!" Abel formed a matching weapon made of pure darkness, his façade now crumbled. Running at Rini, he would go for a piercing strike, only to have it blocked by Rini.
"Abel, you said that I didn't understand the way another being has to survive; you couldn't have been more wrong. Mark my words, This sword will open a hole in the infinite darkness and shed a pure light! And that hole will be a path for those that come next! The dreams of our parents, of Alex! The hopes of people who shall live! Those two forces come together in this beautiful silver crystal! Fighting for a better tomorrow! That's also the hopes and dreams of the Sailor Knights! That's my child! My Hope… IS THE HOPE THAT PROTECTS THE GALAXIES!!!!"
While giving her epic speech, the two combatants were trading blows, with Abel trying desperately to grab for her crystal; Rini then did something that Alex once taught her to do if the situation called for it; she grabbed Abel by his cape connect piece, and head butted him right in the nose. Blood spurted from his nose, he grabbing it with a howl of pain.
"You will pay for that! DARKNESS FURY!" Abel leapt and sent out a dark slash, Rini blocked it and flew right for him. Her eyes widened when she heard Alex's voice.
"Rini…GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
She flew faster, Abel summoning more metal spikes and throwing them at her. She cried as four of her wings were pierced, but she kept going.
"GALAXY IMPACT!!" she called out, the Rapier glowing white hot, Abel held up his arms as the attack neared. An explosion ripped through the Hunters HQ, windows shattering, half of the building crumbling to the ground.
Rini was panting, on one knee.
"So… You'll continue to protect the generations… Even with something as fragile as hope?" asked Abel, who was starting to fade away from existence.
"Of course I will! Don't you know who I am? I'm Queen Rini, that's who!"
She turned around, and Abel, the Leader of the Hunters, was gone for good. A white light once more enveloped the girl.
---------------------------------------------------------------
"And that, young ones, is the story of the Seven Warriors." said an old man; the Royal Story Teller. Kain and Nina had hung onto every word he spoke from the morning they woke up.
"Wow. That had to be the best story I've ever heard." Kain said, turning around when he heard Hotaru call for him.
"Hey you two, the wedding's about to start, hurry!" she called, smiling as her two children stood up and cleaned themselves off, heading for the garden.
The twins rushed to the garden and took their seats next to the other Knights. It was a beautiful setting, with rows of white chairs arranged in the lawn, beautiful multi-colored lights casting rainbows all over. The groom was in a white outfit, with blue cufflinks and his hair combed to make him look handsome. Alex stood up next to the priest, with Gokan, his father beside him as the best man. He had wanted to wear his orange and blue karate Gi, but had gotten an earful from Lita about how he promised her that he'd dress for the occasion.
"Remember our wedding? You made your Z-Fighter friends dress up in tuxedoes and they looked nice."
"Yea, but Vegeta nearly killed me for it. Alright honey, I'll find a good tux, it is our son's wedding after all."
Serenity stood on the opposite side with Lita.
"I still can't believe this day is happening" Lita had said to the Queen, wearing her trademark rose earrings and her hair in a pony tail. She wore a green dress, with Serenity wearing a white one.
"I know what you mean. But I'm sure Rini will make a fantastic daughter-in-law, as Alex will make a great son-in-law."
"You're Right." The two giggled and quieted down as the bride stepped up to the archway, holding a bouquet of beautiful flowers.
'Here Comes The Bride' started up with Misty playing it on her violin. Rini, blushing, walked down the aisle with Darien, her father. When they reached the alter, Darien took his spot beside Gokan, the two secretly high-fiving each other.
"Alexander Kino, do you take this lady, Rini Tsukino, to be your wife?" asked the priest.
"I do." Alex said, blushing as well.
"And do you, Rini Tsukino, take this young man. Alexander Kino to be your husband?"
"I do." whispered Rini, smiling underneath her veil.
"Alright. By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. Alex, you may kiss the bride."
Alex gently brought the veil back and turned to Rini, kissing her on the lips lovingly, everyone cheering loudly. She took her bouquet and tossed it behind her, and who caught it? Tatiana, who was sitting beside Misty. The two looked at each other, blushing with wide eyes. Kain took the stage, standing in front of a microphone and along with Drake and Nina, with the help of Amara and Michelle, began to play Season's Call. Everybody danced in celebration, until Serenity pulled Alex and Rini away from the festivities.
"Have you two decided on a name yet?" she asked. The husband and wife looked at each other, nodding.
"We decided if it's a girl, to name it Lita Serenity. If it's a boy, Darien Isato." Rini said.
"They're both fine names. We're honored to have the child named after us." The Queen spoke, patting a hand on Rini's tummy, which in return earned a baby kick.
"I have something important to tell you, Alex."
"Yes, Your Highness?"
She took them both to the front entrance, where a young man with dark red hair, golden eyes, and wearing black and red stood.
"Mommy, who is this?" asked Rini, eyeing the stranger curiously.
"His name is Michael Karusutchi. He's from Earth, and… He's The Sailor Knight of the Earth." Serenity said.
"Yo." Michael said, waving to the new couple. The planetary sign for Earth glowed on his forehead.
"I was told by Serenity to come here. I wish to join your ranks."
"Hmm…" Alex looked to Rini, grinning. She giggled and nodded her head.
"Go for it." she said, standing beside her mother.
Laughing, Alex summoned the Europa Blade, and turned Super Saiyan, while Michael summoned the Flaming Sword of Courage, and the two ran at each other, blades being brought down to each other before everything faded to black, Tsubasa Duet Version playing during the credits.
