Chapter Twenty-One: Refound Passion
Usagi Tskunino
As I sat there awaiting my fate, Naru began to change. Huge black flames engulfed her and when they extinguished themselves, she was a new person. Giant fiery wings sprouted from her back. Her body itself appeared to be surrounded by fire. The final touch was the fiery sword that appeared in her hand. "Now, Usagi, it ends," Naru said.
Then she began to walk towards me, sword raised. When she stood in front of me, however, she swung it down at me.
BANG!
Instead of being killed, someone had dived in front of Naru's sword and blocked it with their own. It was Yakoto.
Naru gasped, "Yakoto? What are you doing here? Especially defending Usagi; she lied to you!"
I could tell everything she was saying was hurting him by the painful look on his face. He answered, "It doesn't matter! I was sent here to protect Neo-Queen Serenity, and that's what I'm going to do!"
Then he jumped at Naru, and they erupted into a sword battle. They moved everywhere clashing swords. Yakoto yelled, "Sword Star Blaster," and shot a brilliant beam of light from his sword at Molly. She flew sideways, and it soared by her. Then she went for Yakoto who blocked her swing. He in return swung his sword at Naru, who stepped to the side and caught Yakoto offguard.
I yelled, "Yakoto, watch out!" I was too late. Naru's blade had already pierced through him. He slowly fell to the ground, and I ran to his side.
Yakoto breathed, "I'm...sorry...Usagi. I...tried.."
I touched his cheek, "No, I'm sorry. For finding out too late that... I do love you!"
He replied, "I...love." Then I kissed him. With that kiss I could feel all my fears go away, and I could feel a strong sense of exhilaration.
Then as I pulled away I realized he was gone. Naru began to laugh, but she was cut short by a brilliant light that appeared in front of me. I stood up and grabbed it and realized it was my Crisis brooch. "Yakoto and I's love must have been enough to recreate this," I said. Then gripping the brooch I turned to face Naru, "Now, in the name of the moon, I shall punish you!"
She gasped, and I raised the brooch and yelled, "Moon Crisis Power! Make-Up!" With that there was a brilliant flash of light and when it cleared I was once again, Sailor Moon.
Naru said, "I don't believe this! This was not supposed to happen! No matter, now I will finally deal with you, Sailor Moon!" Then she began to run at me, sword raised. I grasped my Spiral Heart Moon Rod and ran after her just the same. When she swung her sword I blocked it with the Moon Rod.
I asked, "Why are you really doing this?"
"I told you, I want revenge!" she replied.
"No, the Naru I know wouldn't do this!" I said.
Naru laughed, "Ha! I'm a changed person!" I managed to push her away, but then she ran at me again. This time, though, I stepped aside which surprised her causing her to stumble and fall. Now was my chance.
I raised the Moon Rod and yelled, "Rainbow Moon Heartache!" This caused hearts to fly at Naru. She tried dodgeing them, but finally one smashed right into her. As unexpected as it might have been Naru began to change. Her wings and sword evaporated, and she was left as the Naru I knew. A large dark shadow flew from her body which I knew was Hate. Naru had been consumed by hate and jealousy.
