Part 11
At the stroke of midnight, Usagi, having given up her star seed, arrives at Tokyo Tower…alone. She was breathing raggedly, as she nibbled on a piece of the fabled "Golden Apple".
"I…I got to keep up my strength," Usagi said, as she took a bite of the magic fruit. At this moment, she was technically 'undead'. Without her star seed, the Moon Princess should be already dead. Only the effects of the magic fruit were keeping her body alive and function. Still, if Usagi did not succeed in her plans to rescue her beloved she was dead one way or another…
Regardless, the Moon Princess was determined to defeat the one who was holding her beloved hostage.
"Okay, damn you," Usagi said, as she banged on the main entrance to Tokyo Tower. "Open up!"
"My, oh, my, how impatient you are," said Kaorinite on the loud speaker. "Very well, you may enter…"
With that, Usagi steps inside into the main floor, prepared for what was to come…
"So, you showed up," Kaorinite said.
"I did as you asked," Usagi said, as she sees that her enemy's daimon was keeping watch over Tuxedo Mask. "Now, let's make the exchange."
"Fine," Kaorinite said. "But first, I owe you this!"
Suddenly, the Death Buster appears in front of Usagi, and slaps her across the face.
SMACK!
"Ha!" Kaorinite said, as she withdrew her hand.
"You're done?" Usagi said, as she wiped the blood from her lips.
"Humph," Kaorinite said, partially surprised to see that her foe had no reaction. "Not quite. Cencinetia?"
"Right, boss!" Cencinetia said, as she began to process to draw out Usagi's star seed from her body.
"Urgh!" Usagi said, as she clutched her chest.
"Soon, it will be all over," Kaorinite chortled, as she waited to see Usagi's star seed.
And she waited…
And she waited…
"Cencinetia!" Kaorinite commanded. "What gives?"
"I don't understand!" Cencinetia replied. "We should be seeing Sailor Moon's star seed!"
"That's because SHE isn't Sailor Moon!" said a voice.
All eyes turned towards the Sailor Scouts, and-
"YOU are Sailor Moon?" Kaorinite exclaimed in surprise.
"Of course!" said the disguised Sailor Venus. "Otherwise, you would have had the right one, yes?"
"Then, who is this one?"
"Just a volunteer, who also believes in love and justice," said another voice.
All eyes turned towards two new arrivals.
"Hey, it's them!" exclaimed Sailor Jupiter.
"It's you," Kaorinite said, as she sees Sailors Uranus and Neptune.
"What are you two doing here?" Sailor Mars asked.
"We're here as a favor to Sailor Moon," Sailor Uranus said.
"Right, SAILOR MOON?" Sailor Neptune said, as she faces the fake Sailor Moon.
"You are?" Sailor Venus said. "Oh, yeah, you are!"
"Humph!" Kaorinite said. "You think you can stop me?"
"I don't know about the others, but I owe you for what you tried to do to Neptune a week ago!" Sailor Uranus said.
"Bring it on, if you dare!" Kaorinite said, as she delivers a psycho-kinetic blow towards Sailor Uranus.
"World Shaking!" Sailor Uranus replied, as she delivered her own attack.
BOOM!
The glass in the observation room explodes.
"Ahhh!" yelled the other Sailor Scouts.
"You got to do better than that," Kaorinite said with a sneer.
"Make me," Sailor Uranus said, as she leaps to a higher elevation.
"Cencentia, deal with these others!" Kaorinite said, as she goes after her opponent…
"Now, to deal with the rest of you!" Cencentia said, as she prepares to attack the Sailor Scouts.
"Um, excuse me," Sailor Neptune said.
"What?"
"You forgot ME," Sailor Neptune said.
"What-?"
"Deep…Submerge!"
Cencentia was faced with the equivalent of the force of an entire ocean, as she shattered into a million pieces.
"NOOOOOO…!"
With the daimon destroyed, the glass slipper returned to normal, and Tuxedo Mask was freed.
"Tuxedo Mask- ohhhh!" Usagi said, as she collapsed.
"Usagi!" Luna said, as she and the Inner Sailor Scouts run to their friend's side.
"Usagi?" Tuxedo Mask managed to say.
"What's wrong?" Sailor Mars asked.
"Guys, she doesn't have her star seed," Sailor Mercury said, after scanning Usagi.
"Wait, how is the Princess still alive?" Artemis asked.
"It's…because of the Golden Apple…I've been nibbling on," Usagi said, as she coughs violently. "But…it was never meant to prolong a life that should have been ended."
"But why?" Sailor Venus said.
"I couldn't take the chance that Kaorinite would succeed in claiming my star seed, especially with Tuxedo Mask's life hanging in the balance," Usagi said. "So…I remove it from my person."
"You…idiot!" Sailor Mars said, tearfully. "You should have trusted us more!"
"Usagi, I'm sorry," Tuxedo Mask said. "I'm sorry for thinking that you didn't need me."
"Hey, it's alright," Usagi said with a smile.
"No, it's not. When I realized that you didn't need me for protection, I felt…less than a man for it. I didn't really believe you when you said you wanted to stay true to me."
"It was…difficult, I admit it," Usagi said, as she begins to turn pale. "But…at least, you know that I was being truthful when I said that I have been faithful to you, Mamo-chan…"
Pause.
"But…perhaps I should have also said that I…love you as well…"
"Please, don't die on me!" Tuxedo Mask said, as he held his beloved.
"Um, actually, Usagi asked Uranus and me to hold this for her," Sailor Neptune said, as she presents Usagi's star seed to the assembled group.
"What?" Luna said in surprise.
"That's the princess' star seed!" Artemis said.
BOOM!
The tower reverberates, thanks to the fighting between Sailor Uranus and Kaorinite.
"I have to go assist Uranus!" Sailor Neptune said, as she stands up. "Take care of Usagi."
With that, Sailor Neptune leaps onto the upper terraces to assist her beloved in her battle against the head Death Buster…
"Quick, put the star seed back into Usagi!" said Sailor Jupiter.
Tuxedo Mask places the star seed into his beloved…
"Hey, I hear that strange, orchestral music again!" Sailor Venus said. "You know, the epic kind!
"Guys, I think it is working!" Sailor Mercury exclaimed uncharacteristically.
"Look out!" Sailor Mars said, as a powerful burst of energy came from within, causing her body to glow with the power of the gods…
FWOOSH!
With everyone could see again, they saw Shin Sailor Moon standing before them.
"Sailor Moon!" yelled the Inner Scouts.
"Usako!" Tuxedo Mask said, as he rushed to hug his beloved.
"Not now," Shin Sailor Moon said, as she holds up her hands to stop Tuxedo Mask in his tracks. "I have someone to deal with first…"
"Oh, okay," Tuxedo Mask said with disappointment, as he sighs…
"Come here," Shin Sailor Moon said, as she gave Tuxedo Mask a big kiss on the lips.
SMOOCH!
"Wha-?"
"THAT is for our date this past afternoon," Shin Sailor Moon said with smile. "Other than being attacked, I had a good time."
"Oh, okay," Tuxedo Mask said with a smile.
"Guys, lets rescue some Sailor Scouts, while I deal with Kaorinite," Shin Sailor Moon said with a smile.
"Right!" said the Inner Sailor Scouts.
"By the way, good job on pretending to be me, Venus," Shin Sailor Moon said.
"Thanks," Sailor Venus said, as she reverts back to her normal guise. "That Disguise Pen from Luna really helped…"
Meanwhile, Sailors Uranus and Neptune found them on the defensive.
"Neptune!" Sailor Uranus said.
"Uranus!" Sailor Neptune replied.
"Any last words?" Kaorinite said.
"I have some to say," said a voice from behind, even as a head of the Dust Busters is encircled by the chain part of the Blade of Redemption.
"What?"
YANK!
"Ah!" Kaorinite yelled, as she was slammed into a girder.
BAM!
She looked up with bleary eyes to see…
"YOU!" Kaorinite said. "But…how?"
"That is not a concern of yours right now," Shin Sailor Moon said. "I am 'Sailor Moon', the champion of Love and Justice. And on behalf of the Moon, I shall punish you!"
"Fat chance, for I can duplicate Cencentia powers!" Kaorinite said, as she places a strange liquid onto a second glass slipper, before absorbing its properties. She then forms a crystal sword.
"Now, let's see if you can deal with me now!"
Kaorinite blew a stream of crystal shards at Shin Sailor Moon, which she blocks with her Silver Shield. Shin Sailor Moon then rams into her foe knocking her back.
BAM!
"Ugh!" Kaorinite yelled, as she wiped the blood from her mouth. She then sees Shin Sailor Moon perform her leap attack, as she spins her Blades of Redemption in the air. Kaorinite manages to block one blade, but the second blade loops around Kaorinite's sword.
"Yank!" Shin Sailor Moon said, as she removes Kaorinite's sword from Kaorinite.
"No!" Kaorinite yelled, even as Shin Sailor Moon steps on her left feet hard.
BAM!
"Ah!" Kaorinite yelled, even as her opponent decks her in the jaw.
WHAM!
"Ugh-!"
Shin Sailor Moon punches Kaorinite in the stomach hard, before grabbing the head Death Buster by the head, and slams it against another girder.
BLAM!
"Ack!" Kaorinite replied, as she stumbled while trying to see again.
"You tried to hurt someone I cared about," Shin Sailor Moon said. "You are going to pay for that."
"Killing me…won't stop the Death Busters," Kaorinite managed to say. "There are more of us out here, than you and your friends COMBINED."
"And they will be dealt with as well," Shin Sailor Moon said. "And I'm not going to kill you, witch. Like I said, I shall punish you…"
The Omega symbol forms around her crescent moon mark, as three versions of Shin Sailor Moon suddenly appear from the ground like ghosts. Strangely, they all appeared to be dressed as Alecto, Tisiphone and Maegera respectively, the three sisters formally known as "The Furies", legendary figures known for inflicting divine punishment on mortal and immortals alike for breaking their blood oath to the gods. Since the demise of the sisters, it has been the Moon Princess' role as the last Fury to fulfill their role in their stead…
"What?" Kaorinite said, as she found herself shackled.
"I may be the champion of love and justice, and I may be a war goddess, but I am also the Fury, the deliverer of divine punishment," Shin Sailor Moon said. "And you will be punished for your actions against humankind for a long, long time."
"No," Kaorinite said, as she is dragged into another dimension. "Nooooooo-"
And she was gone.
Shin Sailor Moon calms down, as she leans against a girder. She then turns towards her "audience".
"So, anyone wants to get something to eat or something?" Shin Sailor Moon said. "I'm starving, amazingly enough."
The Sailor Scouts merely gawked at their leader, still having seen what the Moon Princess had done to Kaorinite in their collective minds.
"Um, hello?"
"Yeah!" Sailor Jupiter said. "I could get a bite to eat, too. Right guys?"
"Oh, yeah!" Sailor Venus said with a nervous grin. "Let's…"
"Usagi, what will happen to Kaorinite?" Luna said with some hesitance.
"She will be thoroughly interrogated for information, of course," Shin Sailor Moon said. "Afterwards, she will be sentenced, turned to stone, and then placed in the Garden of the Damned, where only the worst offenders of the gods go. Kaorinite will be alive, but unaware of anything other than her existence, in a subconscious way."
"That's terrible!"
"It's a better punishment than what my predecessors would have employed. Before me, they would turn an offender into a monster to serve their needs as guards in a prison that was made out of the torso of a Titan—a giant—while said Titan was still alive…"
Pause.
"And if you were a woman, then things can get really horrific for you."
"Oh, dear."
"At least, when I do punish someone, it's a lot more humane," Shin Sailor Moon said. "But, I digress…"
Meanwhile, within the bowels of the Mugen Academy…
"I see," Dr. Tomoe said, as he spoke on the phone to Yuko, in regards to what happened to Kaorinite. "Fine, then you're the leader of the Death Busters now, Miss Arimura. And don't fail this time, or the Sailor Scouts will be the least of your problems…"
Fin.
