Another Chance at Love
Chapter 14: Descent
Serenity:
I was still running. I was growing exhausted, but the adrenaline stayed strong. Diamond was still behind me, throwing energy at me and taunting me.
"Serenity, enjoying the chase?" he called
"Yep, mighty fun" I taunted
I heard the glare in his words, "Just wait, when I catch up to you-"
Hah. Perfect time. "Lunar Blaze Blitz" I cried, turning around to face him
He yelled as bright flashes of light attacked him. He threw forward his Dark energy and the lights faded. Damn I had hoped for more of a distraction. I took out my sword.
"You will pay!" I cried as I rushed at him, he dodged
His sword appeared in his hand, "Tired of running?" he asked
I sneered, "Of course"
"You know, this is building up quite an appetite for me" he said as he attacked with his sword
I blocked, "Good for you" I said
"More the things to look forward to" he said as he blocked my slash
He leered at me, "You know, I threw Masao and Mika's bodies to the dogs"
I faltered for a split second, then attacked with a renewed vigor, "You'll pay for that, all of it!" I cried
"You never did ask what happened to your Endymion's body. Or your Senshi's. Or your mother's" he said
I saw red, "You BITCH!" I attacked as hard and as fast as I could
"And Pluto's throat slit open so easily, like butter" he said as he kept blocking my attacks
"And Saturn, she had a pretty heart" he said as he dodged my attack
I spluttered, "You will suffer!"
"Oh, and you know, Neptune and Uranus are pretty good fucks as well" he said, grinning at me
I lunged at him, my eyes wild. I didn't care anymore. I would get him! No matter what it took! I attacked and attacked, seeing nothing but his grinning face.
He slashed down my middle and made a large cut down my shoulder.
I flew backwards.
"Not as good as you thought, huh?" he said
I roared, "I will tear you limb from limb!"
I lunged towards him again, but this time he threw Dark energy right at me. I had no time to dodge it and it hit me. I flew backwards, slamming into the opposite wall, sliding down till I was laying down. I struggled to get up, but I couldn't, the Dark energy was still shooting through me. I heard Diamond walk towards me and my eyes widened.
Dammit! Get up! Suddenly I heard footsteps running.
Yes! It could be one of the girls!
"Over here!" I shouted. Diamond paused, and I turned to look where the footsteps were coming from.
"Prince Diamond!" I heard two voices call out
"Dammit," I muttered as I recognized the voices, it was Rubeus and Esmeraude. They rounded the corner and walked over to
Diamond.
"Prince, we have to get out of here!" said Esmeraude
I struggled to sit up and managed to lean against the wall, clutching my arm, which had slammed into the wall.
They glanced at me and then looked back at Diamond, "Prince! They are looking for her," said Rubeus
I looked at Diamond who nodded, "Yes, go get the ship ready, I will meet you there"
"But Sire, we must leave now! The soldiers will only hold them off for so long" said Esmeraude
"Do what I said, Esmeraude!" he yelled at her
She looked taken aback, "No! She is not worth our lives if they catch us!" she said once she recovered
"She is worth all of your lives!" yelled Diamond
There was silence as Esmeraude and Rubeus looked at Diamond.
"She's got you hoodwinked, Prince" said Rubeus
"We must leave or purify now, or they will get us" he said when Diamond glared at him
Something clicked in my mind. Purification. I gasped and they turned to look at me, both Rubeus and Esmeraude glaring, Diamond curious.
"Purification. You used the Dark Crystal for purification!" I said slowly, it making sense
They just glared at me.
"Masao was right! It makes sense now, that's how you got your soldiers to listen to your every word and command, but when Sapphire broke the spell, they returned to their true states, completely and utterly dissatisfied by your rule" I said, glaring at Diamond
He laughed, "Look, she's figured it out"
"Sire! We are running out of time! They are within the hallways! All of them!" yelled Esmeraude. She walked up to him and took his hand and tried leading him away.
Diamond stepped out of her grasp, "No, I told you what to do already, I have unfinished business! Now, GO!" he yelled
Esmeraude stared at him and I realized what she was thinking. She would try again to dissuade him.
"Prince, she is nothing!" she yelled, tears appearing in her eyes
"Esmeraude, how many times have I told you? I have no desire of you" said Diamond slowly
"But-" she got cut off. Diamond released Dark energy, aiming at Esmeraude
"NO!" I yelled as I saw Rubeus jump in the way of the Dark energy.
We watched, as if in slow motion, as Rubeus was hit with the Dark energy that was aimed at Esmeraude
He fell to the floor as Esmeraude caught him, "Rubeus? Wh-Why did you do that?" she said in a strained voice
"I never told you how I felt about you, this was the least I could do. I've loved you, always" he whispered
Tears started dripping from Esmeraude's eyes as she looked at Rubeus, "I am so sorry" she said
"Don't cry for me, Esme. Just fight, fight for our lives, our planet" he said, as we saw the life slip from his eyes
"NO! Rubeus!" Esmeraude yelled at him
"Well, that was touching" said Diamond
Esmeraude looked up at him, a glare set, "Diamond, you did this! You killed your own general!" she yelled
"You weren't listening, what was I supposed to do?" he asked, shrugging
I stared at him, my mouth agape. He glanced at my surprised face and grinned.
Then he turned back toward Esmeraude, "Now, are you going to do what I said, or not?" he asked
She stood up, "Never!"
Dammit, she should have just ran. I grabbed her hand and pulled her out of the way as Diamond burst Dark energy at her. She stared
at me, completely surprised.
"Run!" I yelled as Diamond started aiming at us again
I pulled her along as I ran and she struggled to keep up.
"Running again, Serenity?" Diamond called as he began chasing after us again.
Goddess, this was endless!
"Esmeraude, you have to get out of here, he won't go after you" I muttered to her, under my breath so Diamond wouldn't hear us.
She turned to me as we ran, "Why are you doing this?" she asked me, tears visible in her eyes
"You don't deserve this" I said.
We came up on a splitting turn, one left and one right.
I pushed Esmeraude toward the right, "Go!" I yelled as we dodged some Dark energy
"But-" she shouted
But I had already started to run in the opposite direction, knowing that Diamond would run to catch up to me, and not care about Esmeraude.
I glanced back and saw the look of sorrow in her eyes, I nodded in her direction and kept running.
Either this place was humongous, or the Senshi who were supposedly running around looking for me, kept missing me. I came up on a number of turns and I took them randomly. This way I might lose him. When I turned around a few minutes later I found that I had lost him.
YES!
Usagi:
I was running around the place calling out for Serenity.
I had long ago lost Mamoru and everyone. This place was humongous and I had a feeling that I wouldn't be able to find my way out for a long while.
Oh well, that didn't matter now, all that mattered was getting Serenity out of here. How did I know she was still alive? I just knew. I think if something had happened to her, I would have felt it. We had a connection of some sort, I knew that much.
"Serenity!" I called out again as I ran down the halls. Gods, I hated this place.
I saw a flash of something all the way down a hall and I rushed after it.
"Serenity!?" I called
I heard footsteps, Yes! Serenity!
I rushed out of the turn and turned to look at Serenity.
Except it wasn't Sere. No, it was someone completely different.
Diamond.
He looked at me, completely surprised, "You're that other one, the other Serenity" he said
I gulped, but kept my face calm, "Yes" I said
"What's your name?" he asked
"Sailor Moon" I said
He took a step toward me, I took one away from him.
"You're real name?" he asked
I looked at him, "What does it matter?" I asked, glaring at him
"You look at me as if you know me," he said, looking curious.
"I've seen what you've done! All those horrible things!" I yelled
He looked taken aback, "How?" he asked
"Serenity"
"Well, let's talk about it like normal people" he said as he took another step towards me, hand stretched out.
"Hah, you think I'm going to fall for your smoothness?" I asked, laughing
He looked at me and nodded, keeping eye contact.
I laughed again, "Keep dreaming! You are a monster" I said
He smiled, "You know nothing of monsters" he said
"You allowed two kingdoms to fall! You raped Serenity! You killed her friends! What else did I miss?" I asked, glowering at him
His eyes turned hard, and he glowered back.
"It was entertaining" he said
My eyes flashed. Entertaining?
"Entertaining!?" I cried
He laughed, this time a cold and hard laugh, and I shivered.
He ran at me and I quickly moved out of the way.
"Now, Sailor Moon, let's make this easy" he said, leering slightly
I took out my sword, "No" I said
"What is with you people and swords" he muttered as he took his out
He lunged at me as I blocked and dodged. We clashed when I attacked.
I put all my power behind my sword, and suddenly I felt his leg kick mine.
My body fell, losing its balance. He definitely wasn't playing around this time.
I slammed against the floor hard. My back groaning.
Diamond stepped above me, "Are you still a virgin?" he asked in his smooth voice. My eyes widened, as I began crawling in the opposite direction.
"You're not going anywhere," he said as he grabbed my foot and dragged me back toward him
I kicked and flailed and managed to hit something, I felt his hands let go and I started crawling, struggling to get back up to my feet.
Suddenly I felt Dark energy hit me and I collapsed to the floor. I felt more hit me as I struggled to get up. I couldn't even move against the energy. It was constant in its attack and I stopped struggling. I turned over, so I was laying on my back.
Diamond was standing a few feet away, "That hurt you bitch" he said as he held his nose, which was bleeding. He looked upwards and touched his nose and it stopped bleeding.
Damn, it was supposed to completely stop him, not be fixed in a second.
I started to get up again, but Diamond hit me with more Dark energy as he walked towards me.
"You are going to pay," I said to him, glaring as he stood right above me.
He crouched down in front of my face, "Really? I was thinking you weren't in the position to make me pay" he murmured in my ear
I tried to punch him but his hand flashed out and stopped it.
I tried again with my other hand and again he caught it. I struggled, trying to get my hands out of his grip. They were as strong as I remembered them from Serenity's memories. I gulped.
He stared down at my face, "You know, I dreamed about doing this again" he murmured as he got on top of my body. He held my hands with one hand as his other began exploring my body. I struggled against his hands. His body sat right on top of my stomach, interrupting my breathing. My legs couldn't even reach for him.
He glanced at my red face, "You think I didn't learn from Serenity's fighting back?" he asked
He leaned down on the top of my body and started kissing me.
I struggled out of his lip lock and he looked up at me smiling, "Ah, just like Serenity" he said, "Sweet like strawberries" he murmured under his breath
He seemed off in his own world and I took this as my chance. I leaned my head back, and slammed it against his. Our heads hit with a sickening crash and he slid off, dazed. I managed to get out of his grasp, which had weakened.
"Do you think I didn't learn from Serenity" I said
I got up and kicked him in the stomach. He groaned as his hands held his head. He glanced up at me as I went to kick him against, and he caught my leg and pulled it down.
I fell on top of him. I kneed his groin as hard as I could and he yelled insanely loud right in my ear. I got up again.
"Silver Moon! Crystal Power Kiss!" I shouted as he struggled to get up.
He screamed in pain as my attack hit him.
He threw off Dark energy and my attack vanished.
"Serenity!" I yelled for her as he glared at me and stepped closer to me.
"Call for help, this place is too big to get anyone" he said to me
I gulped, and yelled for Serenity again.
Alone we were no match for him.
His eyes flashed to my hand where my attack stick (I have no idea what it's called) and he shot Dark energy right at it. It clattered uselessly against the floor as he stepped toward me. He kept taking more steps toward me and I kept taking steps backward.
He got up to where my stick was and he leaned his foot on it, as he looked at me. I looked at him, fear in my eyes. How was I supposed to attack without it?
He brought his foot down on it, hard. And it smashed into pieces. I felt pain shoot through my heart. I collapsed.
I recovered right after I had fallen down. But it wasn't fast enough, once again; I looked up into Diamonds eyes. He smirked at me.
"Serenity!!" I yelled as loud as I could, closing my eyes and yelling with my mind as well.
When I stopped yelling I saw that Diamond had already leaned down on top of me once again. His hands started roaming around my body again as I struggled to get him off of me. Where the hell was everyone!?
"Mamoru! Serenity!" I called out as his hand gripped my hands and forced them above my head.
No, this couldn't happen!
I kept struggling and I felt his hand strike me hard as he slapped me.
"Shut up!" he said, his eyes roaming my body. His hands went for my brooch, and as he touched it, it sparked. He touched it again, and it sparked again.
"Ah, the Silver Crystal" he said. My eyes widened, as I began struggling as hard as I could. He gathered Dark energy and shot it right at the brooch. I yelled in pain as it felt like he was stabbing a dagger through me. He shot more at it and then grabbed it and ripped it off. I felt my transformation fall away. He threw the brooch to the side and glanced down at the dress I was wearing.
He smiled at it, "You look beautiful," he said
I glared at him, "Get the fuck off of me!" I said
His hand roamed my shoulders and neck as his head leaned against it. He began kissing it softly. I pushed and pushed, but nothing seemed to work.
Gods, this was hopeless!
No, never hopeless!
"Serenity!" I cried, my heart and my mind crying out for her as well.
Suddenly there was a bright flash of light as she suddenly appeared next to me. She gasped as she saw what was going on. She kicked Diamond off of me. I scrambled out from under him and went straight for my brooch. He grabbed my leg again, but I heard it crunch as Serenity kicked it away. I grabbed my brooch and whispered my henshin and I was immediately transformed into Sailor Moon.
"Thanks, Serenity" I whispered as I shivered
She didn't say anything as she glared at Diamond, who was glaring at her as well, holding his hand.
"What the fuck Diamond!" she cried as her eyes flashed and I felt anger rush through her.
She ran at him and started punching him. He struggled to get up and they began fighting it out.
Thankfully Uranus had taught her well. She managed to dodge and hit skillfully.
She punched him right in the nose and it burst with blood again. I guess it was already weak from my hit. Diamond collapsed and held it in.
He growled, "You will pay for that" he said to us
"No, it is you who will pay for your crimes!" she shouted at him
"Sailor Moon" she said to me, stretching out her hand for me.
I grasped it and she seized Diamond's collar and we teleported away.
We landed outside in the grass, surprising the Ayakashi sisters and Uranus and Neptune.
The soldiers had all broken apart and were all gone.
"Coaan?" Serenity asked as she threw Diamond to the floor, "Can you contact Sapphire?"
Coaan nodded and touched Serenity's throat.
"Senshi, Sapphire, we got him! Get to the gardens" she said loudly
I heard the echo from inside the palace
I heard teleportation sounds from around us, I guess it wasn't too hard to get around in there now. Diamond was struggling to get up, but I stepped above him, holding my foot above his throat, "Do anything stupid, and this goes down!" I said to him. He glared up at me, but stopped moving.
Mamoru ran up to me, "Usagi! Thank god!" he yelled as he hugged me.
I stepped away from Diamond and hugged him, "Oh Mamoru" I sighed as I hugged him back. I heard the shouts from the other Senshi. I looked up to see most of them sporting bruises.
"What happened, guys?" I asked as I stepped from the hug
"We met some loyal soldiers along the way" said Uranus
Ugh. I hadn't known there were soldiers still loyal to Diamond. No wonder the hallways had seemed to empty. The others had been slightly occupied.
Serenity:
I rushed into Fighter's arms, hugging with all my might. God, I loved him with all my heart.
"Gods, Serenity, I was so scared" she murmured in my ear
I nodded, "So was I" I smiled up at her, "But I'm fine now"
She smiled, "Me too"
We kissed. I went up to join the others who were sporting bruises, "Loyal soldiers?" I asked. They nodded.
"I thought so. Diamond purified them, so a few of them must have managed to withstand Sapphire's talk" I said to them
They nodded, "Makes sense" said Venus
I turned around, "Hey, where is he?" I asked them
"What do you mean, he's right-" Moon started to say as she pointed behind her
But there was no one there.
"What the hell!? How the hell did he get away!?" I asked her
There was silence.
"Argh. Not again" I sighed
Suddenly there was a rushing from the palace as I saw soldiers run out.
Great, loyal soldiers. And apparently there were a lot of them.
"Usagi, you want to cleanse them?" I asked her
She shook her head, "Diamond broke my attack stick. I can't"
Damn.
They came running at us, swords drawn.
"Senshi! Ready!" Uranus called. We formed a line in front of the Ayakashi sisters and Uranus and Neptune. We all clashed. I saw Sapphire fighting with us. I caught his eye and smiled as I blocked an attack from a soldier. He smiled back slightly.
Aw, he was awesome!
I fought back a few soldiers, but more kept coming. Stupid soldiers. I couldn't do anything but hit them. I didn't want to hurt them, I mean, this wasn't their fault, their minds were just controlled by Diamond. But I couldn't stop fighting. Not when our lives depended on it. If only there was a way to cleanse them of the purification.
"Guys!" I called out and everyone glanced at me "Call for your planetary powers so we can cleanse them, all of them"
We started with the Starlights, then the Outer Senshi and the Inner Senshi, ending with me and Sailor Moon. There was a bright golden light that burst from all of us, covering everything visible. I felt all our power drain and we collapsed and detransformed, along with what felt like all the soldiers. The last thing I felt was Seiya's hand clasped around mine.
--
I apparently was the first to regain consciousness. It felt like the entire planet was sleeping, just like a light turned off. I tried to rouse the others but none of them would wake. We had used up too much of our powers in this cleansing. The intent had been to get rid of all the Dark Magic in the minds of the people, but it looked like it had backfired and tried to destroy all the Dark Magic on the planet.
I wandered away, slightly bored, I didn't think that if I left now, I was leaving everyone completely defenseless, I just- I just had to see some things.
I walked into the Palace, deciding where to go first. I walked into the room I had lived in for my life here, it looked cozy and comforting but I remembered it was the exact opposite, it had been the place where I had lost my hope countless times. Then I walked slowly to Masao's office, remembering the terror I had felt the last time I had walked these halls.
I looked around the room and sat at Masao's desk. I felt tears fall from my eyes, one of my tears landed on the tabletop and I wiped it away. Suddenly I gasped as something flew at me from the desktop. It was only a piece of paper, but it had almost attacked me right there. Weird. It was folded in half and I opened it, I felt something familiar when I looked at the handwriting. It was Masao's, it had to be, no one else had called me Sere here. It looked scrawled in a hurry, but yet it was still mostly neat.
Dear Sere,
There's not much time to write this, you left a while ago with Diamond and I know he was after blood. I knew it was time to end this, couldn't watch any longer as you were maimed under Diamond; I just called the Outer Senshi. They were looking for you ever since the attack on Luna, but Diamond and I had covered the planet in darkness where it wouldn't be visible by others, for now. I've given them information to get into the castle easily; I just hope they come in time. I want to thank you for all that you've given me. Love, Friendship, and a conscience, I owe these all to you. I fear, however, that I won't survive this night, and I don't mind. Well, I do, but not that much. It's the least I can do for you. I'm not sure if you'll ever get a chance to read this, but I just felt like writing this all down. Oh right, the sword, it was the sword of the Queen Serenity, or the purifying Queen. She wasn't that bad, she loved my mentor, but when the split came between the Magics, he chose to leave rather than stay and be purified, she gave him her sword so a part of her would always be with him. It is rightly yours. Finally, the last bit of advice I can give you is to love, to fight and to heal. You taught me so many things and I only wish I could do more. Please, help Mika as much as you can.
I love you Serenity, the little sister I never had.
-Masao
I finished reading, tears falling from my eyes. Oh Masao. I didn't do any of those things. You did. You helped me so much more than I helped you. You died for me. Along with almost everyone else I cared about.
But now I had more people to care about. I had new loves, friends, and family. I couldn't forget about them. I pocketed the letter and teleported back out to the gardens where everyone was. When I arrived I did a head check.
Hm. There were Seiya, Taiki, Yaten, Minako, Makoto, Hotaru, Setsuna, Ami, Haruka, Michiru, Rei, Mamoru, and Kakyuu. Wait, I glanced around again hurriedly. I looked for a particular blonde.
Oh goddess, where was Usagi.
Usagi:
I opened my eyes slowly. As I attempted to stretch my arms, I felt a tight constriction on them. I tried again, pulling with all my might, but I just felt the constriction tighten.
I looked at my hands, they were bound with a rope of some sort, along with my feet, I was sprawled on all fours, ropes tying each of my appendages. I was laying on a hard cot of some sort. I was wearing my dress and shivering.
I glanced at the ceiling; it was a cave of some sort; I could smell the dampness. I looked around but I couldn't see anything, it was almost pitch black.
I unstuck my throat, "Hello?" I said softly, not wanting an answer
"Oh, you're awake" I heard him say as I heard movement on the left side of me.
My head flashed to the left side and a light glow slightly illuminated the cave.
A few candles had been lit around the cave. I glanced at the opening, but farther than that was only darkness. I looked at Diamond who was leaning against the wall. He smiled slightly when our eyes met, "Hello, Sailor Moon" he said. I respond, I just focused on not freaking out.
"No smart comments?" laughed Diamond
I stared at the ceiling, lightly pulling on the ropes. I gasped when they tightened immensely. They were completely cutting off the circulation in my arms. I stopped putting pressure on them and they lessened.
I glanced at Diamond who was smirking. I looked away quickly, lest I burst out screaming.
"So, what is your name?" he asked after more silence
I responded, "Usagi Tsukino," no use not answering his questions, they would just give me time.
"The bunny of the moon? Hm, suiting" he said, laughing
I sat completely still.
"Were you also from Luna?" he asked
"In my past life" I answered
"So you were also Serenity, but what happened differently?" he asked, musing
"You weren't there. We all died in peace" I said, slightly sneering
"Meaning, you killed yourself over him" he said
I sighed softly.
"Did you ever meet me?" he asked
I glanced at him, seeing only a curious look in his eyes. I looked away again and then nodded.
"When?" he asked
"A few years ago. You were completely obsessed with me then too" I said
"What happened to me?"
I remained silent for a few seconds, then, "You saved my life"
I glanced at him, seeing only confusion, "How?" he asked
I stared right at him, "I was in danger…you sacrificed yourself to save me"
He looked away first, "Weaknesses of my other character" he muttered
"No, Diamond, I don't think that it was a weakness, it was your love for me. You saw me in danger and you reacted instinctively. I will forever be thankful to my Diamond for that" I said clearly
"Are you trying to sweet talk me out of that cot?" he asked
I licked my lips, "So what if I am?" I asked
He glanced at me again, laughing slightly.
I looked back at him hopefully.
"Your Endymion was reborn with you" he stated
I nodded; Diamond had seen Mamoru. He stayed quiet for a short amount of time.
"What would you do if I did let you out of that cot?" he suddenly asked. My brow furrowed. How did he want me to answer that?
"You would do every thing you could to stay away from me, that's what" he said, his voice hard
I didn't disagree. He approached me now, walking slowly.
I kept my face cool. However much I was freaking out inside, I couldn't show it now.
"You're tricks won't work on me, Usagi, I am here for one thing, and one thing alone" he said coldly as his finger trailed across my bare collarbone. I shivered at his touch.
He smirked at me reaction, "And I think you know what that is" he said
I kept my face blank, though my heart was on a fritz.
His fingers trailed down to my dress, "So silky" he said
"You look like an angel in it" he said softly
I looked up at him, my eyes begging him.
His fingers kept sliding down. Down my arm, down my thigh and down to my feet.
I shivered uncontrollably.
"So frightened, so scared" he whispered
I gulped slightly. His eyes flashed back to my face, and I stared into them.
"Please" I whispered. He stared into my eyes, and all I could feel was cold.
His fingers slid under the front of my dress and he lifted the material slightly. Suddenly it flashed away. Shit. There went my transformation brooch. I gasped and immediately tried curling up. The ropes on my hands and feet immediately tightened. Holding me in place. I cried out as I felt the rope cut through my skin slightly.
"Stop struggling and it won't cut" I heard Diamond say
I looked up at him. He was still standing above me.
His eyes roamed down my body and I tensed up again, hating the feel of his eyes on my body. I clenched every part of my body to myself, trying to ignore the pain in my arms and legs. They were holding their constriction without cutting more skin. Diamond's hands once again came down on my body. I shook harder. He smirked at me and then teleported. I hurriedly looked around the cave, but there was nothing.
Suddenly I felt him land on me. He had teleported away, gotten rid of his clothes and came back. I gasped as his legs surrounded my waist. He was basically sitting on my stomach. Naked. I felt his hardness push into my stomach and struggled to move inward and away from it. But once again my arms and legs screamed in agony as they were cut more. I looked at Diamond again, his eyes were glazed over as he looked at me. His eyes snapped to mine and he grinned slightly. Then he pushed down on me and lied on top of me. He began kissing me. I evaded his kiss, moving my head in all directions.
His hand grasped my chin and pushed it back into place under his. His tongue pushed its way into my mouth and I tried to bite it. He moved it out of the way just in time and I growled slightly. He withdrew from my mouth.
"Oh Serenity" he sighed as he began kissing my neck. I tensed even more as his hands began exploring my body.
"Diamond, get off. I'm not Serenity, Usagi remember? Not the same one" I said, trying to call him back. I clenched up my body and screamed as I felt my legs being slit open by the rope. There was slightly more room to move though.
Diamond looked up, "Fighting won't do anything" he said softly
I glared up at him, "Get off of me" I said slowly and clearly
"What makes you think I'll do that?" he asked as his hand traveled to my vagina.
It entered slightly and I shouted as I felt myself clench up farther than ever before.
I felt where the ropes were slit open as I pulled on them as hard as I could.
"Shit" said Diamond as he withdrew his finger from me. He was looking at my blood covered arms and legs. The blood had started seeping down my wrists and down my legs.
If I kept pulling I had a feeling my hands and arms would be cut off. I felt the ropes loosen. I pulled on them hard. They didn't tighten, but they didn't move either.
"I turned them into stone" he said, waiting for my reaction. I pulled and pulled as much as I could, but nothing happened. My hands and feet were crunched up upon the cold stone but it didn't budge whatsoever. After constant struggling, I relaxed for a second.
Diamond had been watching my struggles.
"Struggling won't do anything" he said again
I looked away from him, calling with all my heart for help.
"Calling for help won't either, the others don't know where you are. When I grabbed you, the others were still collapsed" he said
"They'll come" I said, glaring at him
"I also turned off the teleportation to here" he said, smirking
My eyes flashed, and I struggled even harder against the stagnant ropes.
Serenity:
Oh shit! Where the hell was Usagi!?
I ran around the gardens quickly looking for her, when I ran in a huge circle I knew for sure she wasn't in the gardens. I hurried into the castle and looked around the closest rooms. She wouldn't have had time to get to any of the other rooms. I hurried back to the gardens and tried rousing the others. Especially Sapphire, he would know what to do.
But he stayed still. Stupid freaking cleansing. I didn't get why they weren't waking up yet.
I had woken up and was basically fine, and Usagi and me had used the most power to do the cleansing, the others had just put some of theirs into it.
Ugh. What the hell was I supposed to do?
I calmed myself and thought hard.
How would I be able to find Usagi?
Then I remembered Masao's words to me. Like rippling water (sensing magic)
I closed my mind and shut down all thought and remembered what I had done that time with Masao. Now I could see the energy of all things.
I looked down at the Senshi and the others, they were infused in a bright golden light, but when I looked carefully at them, I saw little pieces of Dark energy covering their hearts.
Diamond!
I looked around the ground searching for something to lead me to Usagi.
Suddenly something fell to the ground in the corner of my eyes.
My eyes flashed open and I ran to see what it was.
My eyes widened as I saw Usagi's dress lying on the grass. Along with her transformation brooch.
Shit.
I leaned down and grasped it and again began trying to sense the magic. This time I saw a bright golden light emanating from the dress and the brooch. And there was a type of Dark energy surrounding it. I threw open my mind and pressed it as far as it could go. Focusing on the Dark energy coming from the dress. My mind was flashed to a cave miles away near a lake. My mind entered it and saw a figure of pure black lean on top of a figure of pure gold.
My eyes flew open at the picture and I was suddenly pulled back to the gardens.
Dammit!
I visualized the place in my head and tried to transport. But nothing happened. I tried again and this time I felt a prickle of Dark energy run through me.
Oh crap, Diamond had disabled the teleportation powers in there.
This time I visualized the lake and tried teleporting and suddenly I felt water surrounding me.
Crap. Remind me not to do that again.
I began swimming to the top and flopped onto the side of the lake. I looked around and looked for the cave. Crap there were tons of them everywhere. I called out my senses again and again focused on the dress, which I had remembered to bring with me. I was brought a little while off and I ran in that direction without even bothering to open my eyes. I crashed into the opening of the cave and my eyes flew open.
A naked Diamond laying on top of a tearing Usagi.
I shrieked and cried, "Get the fuck off of her!"
Hi.
Oh, I'm sorry, were you reading?
Oops.
