She's The King

Chapter 26- Monster Unleashed

"Prince? Prince who?" Jupiter asked.

The senshi didn't have time to figure that out when they noticed Sailor Moon's eyes became hollow blue. Their leader started to glow with the Ginzousho bursting from her chest. The effect caused the blonde to break free of the orange hair that trapped her, and in an instant, she was transformed into Princess Serenity.

The Prince finally landed on the ground as Serenity ran to embrace her.

"Serenity, are you okay?"

"Yes, Prince, I'm fine now that you're here."

The Prince knelt before Serenity, took her hand, and kissed the top of it, causing the princess to blush.

Tritus grunted. "Ugh, I don't know who you are, but you're going to pay for what you did to my arm and fingers!"

The Prince arose and motioned her fingers towards Tritus, taunting him to bring it on. Tritus retrieved his sword and swung it towards her. In an instant, the Prince removed the ice pick from her scabbard and quickly disarmed him. She leaped in the air and kneed Tritus in his stomach before he could grab his weapon. Tritus was brought to one knee on the ground, so the Prince followed up with several punches to the head. She figured she could have driven the ice pick through his skull by now and let that be it, but in her mind, that was too good for him. This man violated her princess. This man threatened her princess. This man had to pay. She kept punching the downed youma until he gained control and grabbed her arms. Tritus proceeded to head-butt her. He then lifted the Prince from the ground and threw her into the construction building wall. He took the spare seconds he had to grab his dagger and ran towards her. The Prince extended her legs and tightened them around his ankle when he got closer, causing him to fall. She grabbed his shoulders while getting up, and gave him a taste of his own medicine by shoving him hard into the wall twice. The Prince pushed off the wall with one leg and kicked Tritus in the head with the other one to finish the attack. Tritus rolled a couple of times before getting up and charging at the Prince once again with his sword. He soon found himself on the ground for a third time when the Prince flipped him out of nowhere with one arm. The senshi were amazed at her fighting skills. Minako even started to notice how sexy Rei looked in her armor.

"Man, if I wasn't in love with Makoto…" Minako thought. Rei was her friend, but she couldn't help but to lust after her. Rei was really hot in men's clothing.

The Prince smashed her elbow into his forehead while he was still on the ground. The fierce strike formed a cut on the youma's face. She stood over him and continued to deliver blows to his head until Tritus drove his foot into her thigh. She winced in pain and grabbed the sore area, which gave Tritus enough time to slide from underneath her. He clasped both hands in the air and struck the Prince's back while she was bent over. The strength of his hit caused her to fall to the ground. Tritus laughed as he thought he had her now. The Prince rolled on her back and slid away from Tritus before she could be stabbed. Had she not moved, her pelvis region would have been impaled. The Prince arose and was immediately greeted with his dagger poking towards her. She back-flipped out of harm's way and retrieved the weapons from her scabbards. The senshi and Tuxedo Mask heard the clinks and clashes of metal as Tritus and the Prince were engaged in an incredible skill of agility and combat. They wondered who would be the first to injure the other with their weapon….that is until Tritus decided to change it up and dropped his on the ground.

"You're pretty good. Let's see how you fare without your weapons. Hand to hand combat….NOW!" he ordered.

The Prince was happy to oblige. She flung her dagger and ice pick into the ground, and the two were soon engaged in what first appeared to be a boxing match. The Prince dodged the first several punches that were aimed for her head. His extensive reach made it difficult for her to attack at first, but eventually, she was able to get in close and plummet her fists into the sides of his abdomen. The Prince now had the upper hand until Tritus finally landed a strike to her head. That did not slow her down however, as she took a step forward, leaped, and caught him in the center of his jaw. Tritus stumbled a little, but attempted to land another shot. The Prince grabbed his fist and twisted it around his back while she punched him several times in the chest and stomach with her other hand. She kneed him and then extended her foot into his stomach to gain some distance. His face soon became her punching bag as the Prince landed combination after combination while he was bent over. Tritus picked the wrong person to go toe-to-toe with. He took several punches before gaining control of her wrists. He tried to head-butt her again, but this time she countered and tossed him to the side before he could complete the process. In response, Tritus took a step back to "complete the round".

"Who are you? Show your face, you coward!"

The Prince pulled down the scarf from her face. She was far from a coward and had no problem revealing who she was. The senshi and Tuxedo Mask gasped as they were looking at someone who they thought was in the hospital. It took a minute to recognize who she was, until he looked at the others that were bounded, and their leader. He realized that one of the senshi was missing. On top of this, certain words spoken to him days ago came into his memory.

"….protector and body guard extraordinaire."

It made perfect sense to him now. He raised his hand and pointed at her with his charred finger.

"I remember you. You're Sailor Mars….but….something's different….you're not in a skirt, and your head wound is gone," he mentioned, now pointing to his head to trace where the wound was. The others were shocked to realize that he was right. There was no evidence of her head injury at all.

"Your fight against Fedorian was impressive. I didn't think anyone could take him down."

The Prince had no clue what he was talking about, nor did she care. This man violated her princess and tried to harm her, so he had to die. That was the only thing on her mind: nothing more, nothing less.

"You don't remember? That's quite a shame. It doesn't matter though. You won't live long enough to recall the joys of your success in defeating him." Tritus pulled out strand of his hair and twirled it in his hand.

Sailor Uranus warned the mysterious warrior. "WATCH OUT!"

Tritus then balled the strand of hair in his hand and threw it towards the Prince. The strand of hair thickened exponentially and attempted to coil itself around her. The Prince quickly dodged out of its way, but was greeted with another blast of hair charging towards her as Tritus removed another strand of his hair. She rolled out of the way and retrieved her weapons. It became apparent that Tritus was enjoying the Prince narrowly dodging his cowardly attacks. He kept up the process until his ears heard the shriek of what sounded like a tribal scream, and felt a rugged object clash into the back of his head. Tritus turned around and defended himself against their leader, who was holding a brick in her hand. She may have been in a fancy dress, but that didn't stop her from trying to fight. Tritus became angry. He took the brick from her, and pushed the princess down to the ground.

"Since you like playing with bricks, how about I smash your skull in with one?" he said, raising the brick in the air.

The Prince was very much against Serenity fighting to protect her as that was not her job to do so. However, she couldn't help but to admire her heart. Plus, the extra time allowed the Prince to retrieve her weapons. She wasn't about to let Tritus touch her with that brick. She positioned her dagger to the side and flung it towards his arm like a Frisbee. Just when Tritus was about to injure Serenity, he cringed and felt the blade lodge itself halfway into his wrist. The Prince charged towards him, grabbed her dagger, and sliced through the rest of his flesh. As the brick and his hand fell to the ground, she formed a giant slash across his back with her dagger, and drove her ice pick into his shoulder. In pain, Tritus attempted to use his other arm to pull the ice pick out, but the Prince took his wrist and twisted it. The group heard Tritus cry in even more pain as the amount of force she used actually broke his wrist. The Prince then hooked her leg around his, and brought him to the ground. When Tritus attempted to get up, she inserted her boot into the side of his head and stepped on his arm. The Prince released the ice pick from his shoulder, only to impale his hand into the ground with it. She stood over him and aimed her dagger against his neck.

"Who are you working for?" the Prince asked calmly.

Tritus replied by spitting at her. The Prince didn't like that answer very much, so she simply raised her dagger and sliced halfway through his ankle. Tritus gritted his teeth and grunted loudly.

"Who are you working for?" she asked again, just as calmly.

"I was p-part of a l-larger group, but I disbanded from them. It doesn't matter who they are. Most of them are dead now."

In the midst of his pain, Tritus took one look at Serenity, who was standing behind the Prince, and grinned at her.

"I hate that you decided not to join me, dear. Oh the things I would have done to you hehehehe…" he breathed heavily while licking his lips. "You would have enjoyed every minute of it."

Serenity took a step back in disgust. His comment didn't sit too well with the Prince, either.

"Serenity, close your eyes," she ordered.

Serenity did as she was told. The Prince walked closer to Tritus, took a quick look at the princess, and smiled.

"She is very beautiful isn't she?" the Prince asked, while laughing with him.

"Hehe, yeah, she is. I guess I'll never know what it feels like to be touched by a woman."

They both continued laugh together as if they were friends, until the Prince spoke again.

"Hahahaha, oh, you will feel the touch of a woman alright…."

Immediately after, the Prince covered her scarf over her face and raised her dagger. Serenity tightened her eyes as she heard slicing and ripping sounds combined with Tritus gurgling. She could also hear the senshi groan.

"That looks like his heart!" Serenity heard Mercury yell.

Tritus gasped for air as he was slowly dying. He looked on in horror as the Prince held a dark, beating mass in her hand. She stooped down to let him get a closer look before removing the ice pick, and placed his own life force in his remaining hand. She then stood up and took a few steps back, placing her pointer fingers together.

"MARS….FIRE….IGNITE!"

Serenity could hear the flames penetrate his skin, and the shrieks of agony that he cried. It wasn't too soon before she could smell his charred flesh. When he was finished moving, the Prince grabbed him by his leg and drug him out of site. Serenity opened her eyes a few moments later. She saw her lover washing her hands and weapons at a faucet attached to the building. When the Prince returned, roses appeared in the creases of her fingers.

"You're all fighters, so live to fight another day," the Prince said. She threw the roses at the group, breaking them free of the hairs that trapped them. "It's great to see you all again."

"Uhhhh, Rei? Is really that you?" Jupiter asked.

"Who?"

Sailor Venus interrupted them. "You have to forgive them, Prince. They don't remember who you are."

"You guys don't remember? Have you all forgotten about the Moon Kingdom? Beryl's attacks?"

"We remember that, but….something happened, and now it's like we have gaps in our memory."

Jupiter tapped on Venus's arm. "Sailor Venus, what are you talking about? Do you know something we don't know?"

"It's complicated."

While Sailor Jupiter was trying to get answers from Sailor Venus, the Prince decided to check on her lover.

"Serenity….the back of your dress got dirty," the Prince spoke as she dusted off the dirt. Serenity stopped her and placed her arm down.

"Prince….don't."

"I can't help it. You're a princess after all."

"Prince?"

"Yeah?"

Serenity pulled the Prince close and lowered her scarf. She cupped the soft cheek of her prince. In her mind, it had been too long since the last time they shared a tender moment of affection, so she leaned in closer to feel that affection on the lips. The Prince closed her eyes and was more than ready to receive her kiss, until she and the rest of the group heard the low groans of what sounded like a feline. The Prince turned around and saw the exact feline that had caused her so much frustration on the Moon Kingdom. As a result, she placed the scarf back over her face and drew out her ice pick.

"Luna…"
