My first fic. Be constructive. Help is appreciative. But no stupid remarks. We all have an opinion
Chapter 25
The End of All?
He wasn't sure how long he sat there. He wasn't sure about anything anymore. He couldn't hear anything around him. He couldn't hear Galaxia crying her eyes out. Jasper also didn't see the four sisters each holding their own silence. Prizma seemed to be the only one showing signs of movement. She held Galaxia and let the woman weep into her shoulder.
Prizma turned her head as she heard footsteps approaching fast. She looked to see the Sailor Senshi and the Shitennou racing towards them. They all stopped as they looked at the wreckage and the sadness that was pouring out from everyone. Sailor Pluto raced to Jasper as the Starlights ran to Galaxia. Prizma, Avery, Bertie, and Catzy walked slowly towards Sailor Moon and the others.
Sailor Moon took one look at their new outfits and wanted to ask them where they got them from. But she took one look at Prizma and knew that now wasn't the time.
"NO! NO! NOOOOOOOOOO!" All heads turn towards the screams. Seyia had fallen to the ground and repeatedly pounded his fist into the dirt. Yaten clinched his fist and hung his head, while Taiki held his head up towards the sky and closed his eyes. Sailor Moon looked back to Prizma.
"Prizma?..."
"Not here Sailor Moon, please call all our friends and meet at our place. Everything will be explained there." Sailor Moon nodded. The Generals went to gather the Starlights while Sailor Moon went to get her brother. Tuxedo Mask left to get Ann, Alan, Peruru, and Helios. Sailor Chibi-Moon went to gather the Amazon Quartet. Sailor Pluto tried to speak to the Moonlight Knight. "Jasper? Jasper please, come on we need to get out of here. This isn't the best place to be at right now." Jasper turned and looked at her. He didn't say anything but he nodded his head and go to his feet.
Ten minutes later, everyone was in the sister's house. Avery, Bertie and Ann made everyone tea and cocoa. It was deathly silent for a while. It seemed everyone who had been at the battle field was trying to figure out and cope with what happened. Prizma looked to the others who had not been there. "I don't know how else to say this, but Princess Kakyuu is dead."
Usagi gasped and spilt her cocoa on the floor and shattered the cup. The rest of the senshi and the generals looked dumfounded at the revelation they had just been told.
"Princess Kakyuu…..is dead?" Hotaru asked.
Prizma only nodded. "Yes. She…..she seemed to know who the mystery man was and tried to protect us with her power. At first we thought she had succeeded. Then…." She fell silent. She couldn't bring herself to say it. She had the strangest feeling that if she didn't say it, it wasn't final. That she wouldn't have to accept it. The tears started to come up. It wasn't fair to her. She had met someone who she grew close with. The only other person she truly felt close to. And now that person has died too. Prizma held her head and slowly let the tears fall.
Ves-Ves looked to the rest of the crowd. "I really hate to ask this, but what did she say? Maybe she said something that could give us a hint at the mystery guy is?" Jasper turned from gazing at the wall.
"She said two things actually my dear young warrior. We now have a name to the mystery man, but that's not it. She also told me something else."
"What else?" Jed asked.
"She was my mother." Everyone seemed to stop breathing at this. Usagi walked up urgently to Jasper. "Princess Kakyuu is your mother?" Jasper darted his eyes toward her. Usagi stepped back. She didn't like what she saw. She saw nothing but cold and darkness. "Was Usagi. She was my mother." Setsuna heard his harsh tone. What's wrong with him? What has gotten into him? He is angry. His aura is…..dangerous. Mamoru stood next to Usagi. "I hate to ask you this in this time of grief. What was the name of the mystery man?" Jasper turned and headed towards the door. "Valgeane. His name is Valgeane." And with that he walked out the door.
Ann and Alan looked at each other wide eyed. Ann asked him, "It couldn't be could it?" All eyes turn toward the two. Alan looked at all of them. "After we left you all we traveled the solar systems. We came across one world where we heard tales of a man called Valgeane the Great. Or Valgeane the Horrid depending which story you hear and believe to be true. One tale tells that Valgeane was the strongest warrior in the universe. Fighting for what was right and true and just. He shared compassion with everyone, even on his enemies. Much like you Usagi. But another legend says that Valgeane went on a rampage. He was mad and truly evil. He just wanted to destroyed all universes. He had no rhyme or reason for it. He just wanted to destroy anything and everything. Then one day he disappeared. He just fell out of existence."
Haruka spoke up. "It seems he decided to come back."
Kunzite sighed. "But why kill Princess Kakyuu. He seemed pretty intent to kill her apparently. It's like she knew something critical and he had to silence her."
"If she knew something like that, why didn't she tell us before?" Jun-Jun asked.
"She didn't know until that moment I guess," Bertie said.
"Well," Taiki said. He had been sitting on the couch with Yaten. "We have a name and two possible histories on this guy. I think I, along with Ami and Zoicite, can figure more out on him since he seems to be the one pulling all the strings." He looked to Ami and Zoicite. "If you two wouldn't mind a third brain." Ami shook her head. "Of course not." Zoicite nodded. "For Princess Kakyuu." Everyone in the room agreed. "For Princess Kakyuu."
Seyia had been outside on the deck. He couldn't believe it. He didn't want to believe it. But she was gone. I'll make him pay Princess. We all will make that lousy son of a bitch pay. I swear it. The tears had started to pour down his face once more. He felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned to see the last person ever by his side. Haruka looked into his eyes with an unreadable expression. Seyia just stared back. Haruka spoke. "We'll get him. I promise you we will help you get that mother fucker." She stuck out her hand. Seyia took it and shook it with all his might. Haruka strengthen her grip and the two shared a mischevious smirk. Usagi, Mamoru, Michiru and Hotaru watched the exchange. Usagi looked to the others and said. "Valgeane may not know it yet, but he just made the deadliest of enemies in those two. I've always wondered what their combined powers would be like. It actually scares me." The others nodded. Usagi suddenly realized something. She turned back to Prizma and the others.
"Prizma, I know this may be an inappropriate time, but when did you and your sisters get powers again?" Prizma and the others looked toward Galaxia. She spoke on their behalf. "Princess Kakyuu saw in their hearts they wanted to fight along side you all. She knew I wouldn't pledge loyalty to you. I can't just yet. But I promised to watch over and protect this planet along side you. So Princess Kakyuu gave them power to join me and give the earth an even more fighting chance." Usagi, turned back to the sisters. "Is this truly what you all want? You know how it is." Each sister shook her head yes. Usagi raced over and hugged each of them.
"I'm so close. That's one down. One to go." Valgeane sat on his thrown looking over his next plan of attack. Trelthazar and Zalazar both had their heads down. Both were still shocked that he had just taken Princess Kakyuu's life. Valgeane made a portal to see what the heroes were up to. "Ah it seems Jasper is all alone. Good." He turned and looked to the two warriors. "Let's go. The final battle begins."
Jasper and walked down the streets. He was pissed. He was mad. He felt guilty about being pissed and mad at a dead woman but truthfully he was mad and pissed. He looked up to the evening sky. He sighed. "I give up."
"You can't give up my love, we just found each other." Jasper turned to see Setsuna standing there with a worried look on her face. "I just found my mother and that lasted all of ten seconds. How could she not tell me that when she first met me? Why would she hold the truth from me Setsuna? I'm just suppose to accept it when she tells me I'm her son and the she up and dies on me? It's bullshit! It's not fair…it's…..it's," he held his head in defeat. Setsuna rushed to her lover.
"I know Jasper, I know but we may have a lead on this Valgeane character." Jasper looked at her questioningly. "Ann and Alan remember tales of this warrior. One of him being the hero of all universes, while the other depicts him as the destroyer. We are going to get him Jasper. We will finally put this all to an end."
"Oh how touching," BLAST!
Jasper and Setsuna leapt out of the blast and transformed. Sailor Pluto whipped out her communicator. "Everyone! Southside of town near the mall! HURRY!"
Valgeane laughed. "You think even with all of you, you can overcome me?" He roared with laughter even louder. Trelthazar and Zalazar stood on either side of him in a fighting stance ready to attack. Valgeane spoke again, "Well I'm glad to see you have called them. I would much rather take you all out than have to hunt you down one by one. It would take forever." He sent an energy ball towards Pluto and leapt towards the Moonlight Knight. The two began a ferocious air battle. "Did you enjoy the gift I left for you?" he hissed at Jasper. "Damn you!" Jasper yelled. He grabbed a hold of Valgeane and tossed him over his shoulder and plunged him down to the concrete below. Pluto got to her feet and watched the two fight. She turned to Trelthazar and Zalazar who hadn't taken an eye of Valgeane and Jasper yet.
"Shooting Star Dust!" Valgeane leaped up and shot engery balls towards Jasper to distract him.
"Black Wave Smash!" strong winds currents shrouded in black energy made it hard for Jasper to sense anything. Sailor Pluto saw this and ran and leaped into the battle area yelling her attack!
"Dead Scream! Dead Scream!" The attacks were rushed but she needed him distracted more than anything. But both attacks hit the target square in the back and he came crashing down hard. Jasper fell out of the sky only to land in the arms of Pluto. Both were breathing heavily. They needed the others. They needed them now.
"You asshole! You fucking bitch! Who in the hell think you are you slut! I tried being nice and letting you live. But you continue to get in the way of my revenge! Well then you want to be with him so badly? Then you can die together! Black Wave-"
"Mercury Ice Bubbles, Blast!"
A thick blanket of bubble like fog covered the area. The Sailor Senshi were there! Sailor Pluto looked at them. "Thank god you got here in time. Where is everyone else?"
Sailor Uranus smiled. "Wait for it." As the fog cleared, Valgeane suddenly saw himself surrounded. In front were the Sailor Senshi and the Moonlight Knight. To his left was Tuxedo Mask, The Shitennou, The Starlights, Helios, Peruru, and Alan. Over on his right were the Cosmic Sailors and Ann. And behind him in between him and Trelthazar and Zalazar were the Amazon Quartet.
Valgeane simply looked around himself and laughed. "You all wish to die today?" PallaPalla and CereCere charged him. Valgeane smirked and then in a flash was gone.
"What the? Where is he?" Nephrite asked.
JunJun looked at everyone. "Does anybody see him?"
"Right behind you," BOOM!
The Amazon Quartet flew off into a nearby building. Sailor Koan and Sailor Berthier jumped over Valgeane and Sailor Petz and Sailor Calaveras covered the other side. "Solar Cosmic Blast!" The sisters yelled out their attack. Valgeane ducked it and started to spin. "Meteor Shower Collide!" He hollered and the four sisters crumbled into the trees.
Sailor Moon took charge. "Alan, Ann go check on the Cosmic Sailors! Chibi-Moon I need you to go find the Amazon Quartet ok? I need you to get them out of the battle area ok? I'll send Alan and Ann along with you once they make sure the Cosmic Sailors are ok. We may need you to be the next line of defense should anything happen ok?" Chibi-Moon looked at her future mother with worry. "Don't worry sweetie. Everything is going to be alright. Now go, and hurry!" Chibi-Moon rushed to check on her friends.
Valgeane looked to the remaining standing. "Well looks like I better finish you all off!"
"No you won't! I won't allow you to continue to harm all these people. Or this planet! You will pay for what you have done! In the name of the Moon, I will punish you!" Sailor Moon took a fighting stance along side the rest of the warriors.
Valgeane looked at all of them. He rose up his hand. "Black Hole Arise!" the ground began to shake. Seyia looked above and yelled "Look!" Up above in the sky was a gigantic black vortex.
"Soon all will be at an end! I will finally have achieved my revenge against everyone!"
Jasper yelled. "Revenge? Revenge against who?"
Valgeane glared at Jasper. "Revenge against you, and my mother!" Jasper looked at him questioningly. "Your….mother?" Valgeane snorted in response. "Yes, Princess Kakyuu was my mother as well. I'm your brother. Your older brother actually. You see, I use to believe that doing the right thing, fighting for justice was what it was all about. I wanted to become stronger, prove that no one would ever be more powerful. Mother believed I was being consumed, tainted with the darkness. So when you came around she sensed something in you. I sensed it too. Mother wanted to train you to be just as soft as she was, I wanted to train you to stand along side me and rid all universes of evil and be the ultimate power. But she sent you away. I told her I would find you. Then those pussies the starlights tried to protect her. I defeated them easily. Hardly what I would call a warm up. But out of mercy I let them live. They were so traumatized by the battle she must have took that memory from them. I finally caught up with you. But you had a new family, and honestly, I felt that I wouldn't have you abandon me too. So I planted the idea in Queen Beryl's head that the silver alliance was a horrible annoyance that needed to be dealt with. And well….you see how the rest went." Valgeane was now laughing uncontrollably. Everyone could not believe just how heartless and jealous this man really was. "And I still can't believe that you still side with these weaklings!"
"Believe it or not but you're still going to die you piece of shit! Cannon Beam Smash!"
"Sun Ray Shroud!" Trelthazar and Zalazar both unleashed their attacks. Both warriors leaped down and bowed before the Moonlight Knight.
"Your highness, it would seem that you were not the only ones to be deceived. We asked that before you past judgment on us we fight along side you to rid the entire universe of this evil once and for all." An eerily laugh grew out of the air. All turned to see Valgeane standing and unscathed. Trelthazar and Zalazar took a stance but then Valgeane kicked Zalazar in the ribs and then lifted up his hands and grabbed a hold of Trelthazar by magic. He started sending him high up in the sky.
Valgeane spoke to Trelthazar. "If you promise to attack them all head on right now, I'll spare your life."
Trelthazar looked at him and yelled out. "I'll see you in Hell first."
Valgeane shrugged his shoulders. "If that's they way you want it." He closed his fist and Trelthazar exploded. Zalazar looked to the sky where his best friend was. "TRELTHAZAR!"
Valgeane turn to the Black hole. "Soon this world will be engulfed in darkness. It has already begun Moon Warriors there is nothing you can do to stop me."
"Wanna bet?" Valgeane turned to be on the greeting end of a time staff and sent upwards into the sky. "You ruined my wedding day! You kill everyone that was dear to me! I spent countless millinea in solitude because of you!" Pluto leapt into the sky and into the black hole after Valgeane. Jasper took off running and leapt in after her.
Sailor Moon called to everyone. "Okay Sailor Scouts! This is why we fight. We have lost many good people. But now we have the chance to stop all this chaos once and for all. Who's with me?" Everyone was ready to go but one voice called out.
"We can't follow." Everyone looked at Trelthazar. He looked up. "The Black hole is unstable. Now that it's open, this world is going to be engulfed. I've only seen this one other time. The world disappeared and the people were scattered to other places, other worlds even. Our best bet is that the Moonlight Knight and Sailor Pluto can stop Valgeane before all is lost.
Sailor Uranus looked at Zalazar. "So we do nothing?" Ami, Zoicite and Taiki all looked into the analyzer. "There might be one way. We have to shut down the gravitational force. If we do that maybe the world won't be engulfed."
Zalazar looked at the ice senshi. "You still face a problem Sailor Mercury."
"What's that?" It has to be close from not only out here, but from inside as well. Sailor Pluto and the Moonlight Knight won't be coming back even if they do stop Valgeane." The sailor scouts were in shock. How would Jasper and Setsuna come out of this alive?
