Hello! I am sooo sorry about the super late update. Life happen but will try to update at least once a week. I have to catch up to the second season of Sailor moon crystal. The beginning of the chapter is gorily and angst. A lot of things happen. Enjoy the sadness. Note at the end!
The warriors watch in distraught their prince die once again and they couldn't save his life. The couple stabbed each other and their blood is spilled on the gray floor. Amorko screams at the horror and he feels the warmth of blood at his feet. Masuto picks up his friend off the floor and holds his crying friend. He sings in a soft tone to his friend to calm him down. Amorko clings to his friend and cries into his shoulder.
"We couldn't stop it happening again. Why? Why does the past repeat? What did we do wrong?" Ren tries to understand what just happen and he sees the blood glistens. He feels sick to his stomach because he doesn't know whose blood it is. The couple is covered in blood and he can't look at their dead bodies without being sick.
"Warriors! Stop this whining! We have a planet to protect. There is still an enemy out there that wants the power of the crystal!" Maski shouts at his comrades with tears in eyes and tries to stay calm. "I know that this loss is emotional but we have a whole planet to save with or without our prince." He says in a stern tone and swallows his tears. Maski is breaking on the inside but he knows that he has to stay strong. He just loss his best friend but the earth is still standing. The whole human race needs protection and they need to protect whatever is left of this planet.
"How can you say that ?! Usko is dead! His blood is drenched on the floor that you are standing on! What kind of friend are you?!" Amorko shouts at the blond man standing before him.
"Guys, look the crystal is growing." Masuto points to the couple and the other warriors turn to the crystal.
Usko and Marii become engulfed within the crystal and they were protected by the white crystals. However, a dark aura with glowing red eyes appears before the group. "I will have the power of the crystal and destroy this useless planet!" The voice is horrendous, raspy, and the creatures grabs the crystal with the couple in compass within it.
"What are you? What are you doing? Let them go!" Maski shouts at the darkness and he seems to remember this heavy feeling in his chest. This was an enemy from their past and they were killed by this monster. How could he still be alive?
"I am Lord Metalia! I was banished to the Arctic by the King of the Moon before everyone was killed. In his last moments he entrapped on this damn earth without any powers. Over time a man came to this cave and found me. He released me from my curse and I need energy to become powerful again. He woke the huntress from their slumber. Well you know the rest. I must have this power! You will all die along side of you dead prince." The creature laughs maniacal and takes the crystal. He swallows the crystal, becomes bigger, and stronger. He attacks the group with a massive force that causes them to crash on the floor. The darkness starts to spread everywhere and the warriors don't know what to do at this point.
The group has nothing left to fight for but then Leo tells them there must be a better ending. The cat transport them back to earth but Leo needs to find more power.
" I have to leave earth. I will go to the moon and pray to the King. Maybe he will come through one last time for the sake of the human race. Athena come with me. I hope to see you all again in this life time. Please try to save this planet. " The cats leave the warriors and hope that this planet will be saved.
The group looks around the area and there was no more ice or snow. The earth is slows eroding and becoming dead. The darkness is taking over and no one can stop the process.
The prince is dead and the warriors are lost without their adored friend. There is no light or hope in this planet.
"We are too late!" Ren shouts into the air, punches the ground, and he breaks his hand. Then something snaps all he can see is Usko smiling at him and his face glowing. He remembers when he first saw Usko and he radiated happiness. The blond smiled at him and gave him a complement. Ren heart aches and he wants his friend back.
Amorko looks at the dead earth before him and his hand digs into the dust. The planet that he loves is becomes a cold stone of darkness. His mind goes to Usko and when they first hung out together. Usko was his first friend he ever had and he always made him feel happy. He needs to fight for Usko because he would have done the same. Amorko gets up and wipes his tears.
Masuto sees what happen to the earth and he can't even feel the warmth of the sun. He only feels the darkness. Then he sees Usko bright eyes and smiling. The blond was the first person that was not scarred of him and was welcoming. He remembers when Usko first tried his food and it was the best moment of his life. Masuto looks at Amoroko and knows that he willing to fight one last time for the sake of Usko. " Maski, we have one more fight in us. Are you willing to fight one last time? Do it for Usko. He would have fought till the end."
Maski looks at the warriors and knows what they are fighting for. He remembers being with Usko and how he was kind to him no matter he said to them. The prince was always doing things from his heart and his kindness would touch everyone that he interacted with. "Yes we have to fight for our prince. He led us to the end and now we must finish this fight for him."
The warriors get out their weapons and release the last of their energy to protect the earth. They are also sending their energy to their prince without know it will saving him.
Usko felt sadness but he could feel someone in his arms. However, he woke up to darkness and a heavy feeling in his chest. He remembers that he was stab and he had blood on his hands that was not his own blood. He relies that it is Marii's blood and then he panics. The warrior shakes the woman and she groans in pain. Marii eyes are still closed and Usko becomes worried. Did she die and he lived this time? He is confused what is going on.
The blond needs to know where he is and what is going on. He stands up in pain and shouts at the darkness that he stunk. "I demand to know where I am! Who are you and what have you done with me?" He gets fired up and readies his weapon to fight. He hears a maniacally voice and remembers that voice from the past
"You are still alive you pathetic prince. You don't remember the voice of your enemy. I will finally kill you and your sad excuse for warriors." Lord Metalia attacks the prince with dark spears but he fights them off with no issues.
"Is that the best that you can do Metalia! You killed my father and my friends I will not let you win! I will fight for my family and this planet!" Usko shouts into the atmosphere, he feels stronger, and his wound is healing.
"Silly boy this is just beginning. I will do anything to harness the power of the Legendary Silver Crystal! Look at all the lives that are lost because you couldn't save them! You are useless and better off dead like the rest of the rotten humans." The creatures attacks Usko with a number of shadow people and they come at him.
Usko fights them off but he can't get their screams out of his head. He falls to the ground but then he hears his friends' voices. They are encouraging him to keep fighting and he is the last hope for the planet. He feels warmth through his body and knows that his warriors are giving their last bit of energy to him.
"No! The human race will not rot and I will defeat you once for all Metalia and this time you will never come back. In the name of the moon I shall punish you." Usko transforms into the prince Sephiroth and his power grows. The prince is in a white suit with gold, silver and dark blue accents. He has his armor on his shoulders that have dark blue and silver designs, a red cape, and dark blue boots. Sephiroth is in his battle stances and his in his battle gear.
Around his neck lays the locket and the crystal. Sephrioth finds the power within himself to fight for what is right and the crystal is finally activated. The other half the crystal is reformed from Eden. The reaction causes Marii to become Eden with her light blue gown and she wakes from her slumber. Her body is healed and she wants to help Sephrioth but he tells her to stay there. Eden watches the prince's power grow and knows this is his battle. She gives him more power for his transformation. His sword grows in size and the handle gets enhances with wings and the crystals infuses into the sword. Sephiroth blasts the creatures in the core and is finally release from the darkness. Eden watches the battle from the distance but she gives a hopeful look towards her prince. "One last fight!" The prince shouts at the creatures as it attacks him. He welds his sword and gives all his energy towards the creature.
"What incredible power! I must have it!" Metalia attacks with a strong force but the prince fights back with all his strength. The creature attacks with dark rays but Sephiroth attacks with strong pure light. They are in a stalemate but the prince is not going to give up.
Sephiroth gives the creature one last blast. "In the name of the moon, I Prince Sephiroth banish you Metalia to the depth of hell." The blond jumps the slices the darkness into two and he becomes nothing. The creature is defeated and sent to where it belongs.
Eden runs towards Sphiroth and hugs him close. "You did it. You defeated Metalia . What about the earth? What will we do? Please don't leave again. Don't every die on me again." The princess cries into his shoulder and she can't lose him again. The past was painful without him and she couldn't stand life without him. She clings to him and takes in his essences.
Sephrioth gentles strokes Eden's face and kisses her lips. "I will never leave you. My heart will always be with you. I won't die on you love. Now we have to save the world. I need your energy. We are the last hope for this planet. Let's do this together." The prince helps her up and she nods in agreement. "Moon Revive Blast!" The couple combines their powers to heal the whole earth. A powerful white blast covers the earth and it becomes lively. Everything comes back to life, human become living, plants starts to grow, and animals run across the green grass. The couple looks at each and Sephiroth holds Eden close to his chest. "We did it. We saved the world." Then he closes his eyes and sees his father.
"My son you are worthy of the crystal and you have the responsibly of look over this planet with the help of your warriors." The king says to his son telepathically and sends the couple to the warriors.
The warriors are motionless once they use the last of their energy. Then they see a bright light and the earth is being restored to its beautiful state. Some powerful being brings them back home and they are fully healed. Leo and Athena are by their side and they know what had happen.
"Where is Usko? He had to have done this? Did he sacrifice himself again?" Maski asks the cats but then his question is answered.
The warriors' heart stops for a moment while the wait for their royalty to come to them. Then they appear from the sky and they radiate love and hope. The warriors burst into tears of happiness and crowd the couple.
The couple lands near the warriors but they are very weak. The couple sits on the floor, the prince holds the princess close, and looks up at his friends. "Good you are all alive. I saved the day once again. I am so tried. It was a long battle but I did it. Lord Metalia is gone forever." His voice soft and his face is glowing with cheerfulness. He smiles at the warriors and sees the sadness in their eyes. Their eyes are filled with tears and showing mixed emotions. "Why are you are all crying? I am alive and well. We get to live another day." He says as he wipes Maski tears and then all his friends hug him.
Marii wakes up and is confused why all the warriors are hugging them. "Usko what is going on?" She asks as she clings to him and nuzzles his neck. He feels cold to the touch and he doesn't look well. Her eyes start to water and she rubs her face into his chest. Usko's heart beat is slower and dim.
"Hmm? My love I must give you this back. I have missed you so much. You look so beautiful in the moonlight princess." Usko kisses her passionately and he puts on the locket on her. He closes his eyes, feels lifeless, and his body can't whole together any more. The prince's body has reached his limit this time. Is this the end for him does he have to wait another century to see his love and friends again.
"Usko-san wake up! Nooo! You can't die me! You promised me we would stay together forever! I just got you back. You lair! Come back!" Marii cries into the blonde's chest, shouts at him, and then a bright light engulfs the couple.
The prince wakes up in his armor becomes white and pure. He smiles at his lover and kisses her gently "I will never leave you. I promise. My body just had to reenergize. I am sorry. Please stop crying." Usko wipes the tears off her face and holds her. "So is anyone hungry?" He smiles and looks at his friends.
"Idiot! How you talk about food when you almost died twice!" Marii slaps Usko shoulder but then she smiles. He will be fine and he is not going anywhere. Her prince is finally home and with her where he belongs.
" Good let's go get some food. At least he is acting like himself." Maski points out and helps the couple up.
The group returns to their normal state and go find food. They walk hand in hand towards the café.
"I have an idea. We should go on a vacation to the beach. You guys in?" Usko says and keeps Marii close by his side. He would love to see her in a bikini and wet . He can image her in his mind beautiful and smiling at him.
"That sounds like fun. The sun is good for you and the fresh air would be nice." Amorko points out and likes the idea. He will be able to show off his swimming skills.
"I have never been to the beach. I can make some snacks." Masuto grins and can't wait to cook for his friends. He can finally relax with his friends and enjoy the beach.
"My family has a home near the beach shore. My grandmamma won't mind if we use it. I guess it would be fun." Ren thinks about how he could annoy Usko and Maski at his house. He would have fun at the house with his friends.
"That would be awesome! We could play volleyball and make sandcastle! I look great in a speedo! We will have so much fun." Maski smiles and loves the idea. He knows that his friends need to relax and enjoy life again.
"So guys can I come?" Marii asks the group and knows that Usko wants her to come.
"Of course you're coming! It will be so much fun! Maski no speedo! No one wants to see that. Trust me. So we are totally going to the beach!" Usko says in an excited tone and shakes Marii.
The group finally gets to the café and their life of being normal teenagers starts or at least for a little time being.
