Chapter 27: Final Showdown


"You Moon Senshi talk too much," yelled Dark Mars throwing a ball of dark fire at Cosmos.

"Cosmic Flame Sniper," yelled Cosmic Mar.

"Cosmic Aqua Rhapsody," yelled Cosmic Mercury holding her Ice Staff.

"So how shall we do this?" asked Dark Moon looking at Dark Mercury.

"I could take out their Mars but their Mercury could take out our Mars theoretically," stated Dark Mercury.

"So," Dark Moon said getting annoyed.

"We all take our mirror," replied Dark Mercury.

"Good," Dark Moon yelled and leaped toward Cosmos who used her Cosmos Staff to block and shield herself. They other Senshi followed their leaders and jumped into battle.


"This will not go like last time," Cosmic Mercury stated.

"Just because you have a new toy does not mean you can defeat us," Dark Mercury said with a sneer.

"Serenity has to be right," thought Cosmic Mercury. "If they truly are part of us they can't be completely evil."

"Are you going to think or fight," yelled Dark Mercury as she threw shards of Dark Ice at Cosmic Mercury.

Cosmic Mercury held her Ice Staff in front of her. "Comic Ice Rhapsody!"

"Learn a new trick," Dark Mercury yelled as she dodged the attack. Dark Mercury nor the other Dark Senshi realized the Moon Senshi were driving them backwards towards each other as they Dark Senshi had done to them before.

"Okay," was Cosmic Mercury's only reply as she gripped the staff with an underhand grip swinging at Dark Mercury's feet knocking her to the ground. When Dark Mercury tired to get up Cosmic Mercury held the pointed tip to her throat.

"You don't have it in you," growled Dark Mercury.

"Serenity is the sweet one. Did you forget I am also a Senshi of Mercury? I maybe shy and a bookworm but my element is water and ice. During the Silver Millennium some called me the Ice Princess. Do not under estimate me," said Cosmic Mercury. Dark Mercury sneered at her challenging Cosmic Mercury to stab her with her staff. Cosmic Mercury smiled, "I do not act without my princess' orders," but never relaxed her grip on her staff as it changed into her Ice Sword.


"I am really getting tired of people like you who think you can take over our planet and we will not do anything," yelled Cosmic Mars as her right arm was engulfed in flames.

"Ohhh the little priestess wants to play with fire," Dark Mars replied as she created a fire ball. "Remember I have fire too," as she threw a fireball at Cosmic Mars.

Cosmic Mars waved her right arm in front of her. "Fire Shield!" A wall of fire sprang up before Mars shielding her and absorbing Dark Mars' Dark Fire. As Dark Mars stared at the wall of flames Cosmic Mars prepared a flame arrow, "Cosmic Flame Arrow."

Dodging the attack Dark Mars laughed at her. "You will have to better than that," she taunted as she threw her hand in front of her. "Dark Phoenix!"

As the dark firebird sped toward her Mars unleashed her own. "Firebird Soul!"

The birds clashed hooking claws and pecking at each other. The two Senshi could feel the heat of the flames as the firebirds flapped their wings. Dark Mars' Phoenix went for Mars' firebirds throat but missed. Mars' firebird aimed for Dark Mars' Phoenix's heart pierced through its fiery body and speeding toward Dark Mars.

The fight between the firebirds lasted only second not giving Dark Mars time to move once Mars firebird began to speed toward her. Dark Mars screamed as she was engulfed by flames. Knowing her own fire would not hurt her Mars ran towards Dark Mars as Dark Mars was thrown backwards. As she ran towards the dark Senshi of fire she held her right arm in front of her as it began to glow. "Flame Sword," yelled Cosmic Mars as the glove on her hand disappeared and a sword appeared in her hand.

Burned and hurt Dark Mars looked around. "Where are you?" she yelled.

"Behind you," whispered Cosmic Mars bringing the blade of the Flame Sword to Dark Mars' throat as she came up behind her. "Move I dare you!"


"Easy way or the hard way?" Cosmic Jupiter asked. Dark Jupiter's only reply was to rush toward Jupiter. "The hard way it is then. Good I needed a good work out."

Fist and feet flew as neither was able to inflict damage on the other. Both Senshi jumped back and looked at each other.

"Time for a different approach," Dark Jupiter said as she powered up. "Dark Spark!"

Cosmic Jupiter dodged the attack and took the laurel from her head as the individual leaves fell into her hands. She charged them with electricity as she prepared to attack Dark Jupiter.

"Yeah I am afraid of a bunch of leaves," Dark Jupiter sneered.

"You should be," replied Cosmic Jupiter. "Oak Leaf…"

"Oh yeah that is a good attack," mocked Dark Jupiter.

The leaves pinned Dark Jupiter up against an invisible wall. "What the hell?" yelled Dark Jupiter as she struggled.

Cosmic Jupiter smiled as she finished her attack phrase, "Lighting!" Jupiter's voice rang out loud and clear as the leaves began to crackle with energy. Dark Jupiter screamed in pain as Cosmic Jupiter held her bleeding side from being hit by one of Dark Jupiter's Dark Spark attacks although she did not let her know she had been hit.

"You bitch," coughed Dark Jupiter getting up.

"You really should not call people names when they are holding a sword to your throat," replied Cosmic Jupiter coming up behind her. Dark Jupiter looked down to see Cosmic Jupiter's sword at her throat with a blade that looked to be made of pure lighting.


"So Venus," Dark Venus said hatefully. "Do you think you can beat me?"

"I know I can," answered Cosmic Venus, "Love and Beauty Shock!"

"Feisty," Dark Venus laughed. "Just the way I like 'em." Dark Venus jumped in the air launching her Dark Chain at Venus. She saw the chain coming and held the Holy Blade in front of her to allow space between her and Dark Venus' chain. Venus was able to throw the chain off and rush toward Dark Venus with her sword cutting Dark Venus' side.

"Broken Heart Shower," Dark Venus yelled.

Venus pulled the Crescent of Venus from the Holy Blade and placed the Holy Blade in her subspace pocket. As she ran she dodged the broken hearts that were falling around her and the Crescent of Venus transformed into her Light Sword. She swung the sword causing a flash of light to temporarily blind Dark Venus.

"What the," Dark Venus screamed covering her eyes. "Where are you?"

"Right here," Venus said holding the sword to her throat. "Move please."


Comic Pluto held her staff in front of her. "I am the true guardian of Time and you will not defeat me."

Dark Pluto laughed. "Jikku when will you learn?" she asked. "I am you. I just don't have to worry about pesky things like my heart and hurting others." Dark Pluto grinned. "Speaking of hurting others that sounds like a great idea," Dark Pluto formed a maroon ball of energy in her hand. "Dark Scream!" she yelled throwing the ball of energy at Cosmic Pluto.

Cosmic Pluto jumped out of the way as the maroon orb flew underneath her. Raising her staff she whispered, "Cosmic Chronos Sphere," as she landed. The mist swirled around her fast and her Garnet Orb began to glow. The attack looked like her basic 'Dead Scream' attack. Shortly after a pink purple planet shaped attack came from her staff the smaller orb on top of the larger orb glowed and released a maroon shaped planet attack.

"Damn," Dark Pluto thought as she landed only to see the second sphere headed toward her knowing she could not move in time to avoid the attack. To Dark Pluto it looked as if the orbs were fired at the same time but there was about a thirty second delay between the release times of the two orbs.

As the blast threw Dark Pluto backwards Cosmic Pluto detached the Garnet Orb from the Time Key and the smaller maroon orb began to glow and detach itself from the Garnet Orb. When the Maroon Crystal had separated itself from the Garnet Orb both the Garnet Orb and the Time Key went back into Pluto's subspace pocket as the Maroon Crystal glowed brightly changing into a sword.

"How," Dark Pluto hissed as Cosmic Pluto brought the sword to her throat.

"I have been fighting longer than you," Cosmic Pluto smiled.


Cosmic Uranus drew he space sword, "Space Sword Blaster!" An arch of golden light shot from her sword toward Dark Uranus.

"Dark Shaking!" Dark Uranus yelled trying to counter the attack only to have Cosmic Uranus' attack to cut through her attack smashing into her chest.

Uranus' sword glowed and disappeared. The Sapphire Crystal floated in front of her before turning into a different sword. A blade that appeared to be made of swirling winds, "My Wind Sword," Uranus thought lifting the blade high above her, "Cosmic Tornado!" A planet shaped attack formed around her sword. The attack was sapphire blue in color instead of the golden color. The blade of her sword disappeared as Uranus shot the attack forward the blue planet shaped attack dissolved into the wind and in its place heading toward the target was a blue sapphire colored tornado.

"Two choices," Cosmic Uranus told her. Then she shook her head, "No never mind. This is how it will be," Uranus put the blade to Dark Uranus' throat, "Stay put or there will be much pain on your part." Uranus smiled, "Please move."


"Dark Submerge!"

"You will have to do better than that," Cosmic Neptune said coolly jumping out of the way.

"Gladly," replied Dark Neptune raising both hands above her head. "Double," Dark Neptune shouted as the water swirled around her forming two spheres around her hands. "Dark Submerge!" she finished sending both spheres flying towards Cosmic Neptune who managed to dodge one but two spheres.

Cosmic Neptune did manage to land on her feet and call forth her Aqua Mirror. "Submarine Reflection," she yelled as the mirror shot a beam at Dark Neptune.

"It will take more than a light show to get rid of me," Dark Neptune sneered.

Cosmic Neptune smiled as the mirror glowed and her Aqua Crystal separated from the mirror while the mirror went back into Neptune's subspace pocket. Then the Aqua Crystal began to glow brighter and changed into the shape of a violin. Cosmic Neptune gently took hold of the violin as if she was going to play the instrument. Putting the violin under her chin Cosmic Neptune closed her eyes. As she played the violin she shouted, "Cosmic Aqua Symphony!" causing water to dance out in front of her and around her building up. The water raged according to the notes she played and then the water shot out towards its target as Cosmic Neptune finished.

Dark Neptune could not even blink before the waves crashed upon her. When Dark Neptune opened her eyes she could feel the blade of Neptune's sword against her throat.


Dark Saturn stood before Cosmic Saturn with a glowing orb growing between her hands. "We both know this can end only one way," Dark Saturn told her. "Quickly," she answered as she detached the blade of the Silence Glaive from the staff.

"Dark Rebirth!" Dark Saturn yelled hurling the light purple orb toward Cosmic Saturn.

Saturn jumped holding the Glaive blade above her head, "Cosmic Reaper Slash!" A purple beam shot from the Glaive head and a ghostly looking reaper appeared to be traveling in the beam. When the beam reached the target the ghostly reaper held her scythe out in front and brought the blade forward.

Dark Saturn jumped as the front of her fuku was slashed by the force of the attack. Cosmic Saturn reformed her Silence Glaive and removed the Amethyst Crystal which changed into her Reaper Sword. "Go ahead," she said holding the sword on at Dark Saturn's throat, "move."


"Hey Pinky," Dark Chibi Moon laughed.

"Would everyone quit calling me that," Cosmic Moon yelled.

"Remember last time you needed that other ones help to defeat me," taunted Dark Chibi Moon.

"That was when you were trying to take over my body," Cosmic Moon replied.

"Oh yeah, last time I just beat you 'til you were unconscious," Dark Chibi Moon sneered.

"This time I will defeat you on my own," Cosmic Moon yelled as she called forth her new Pink Moon Stick. "Pink Sugar Heart Attack" and pink hearts shot from the wand.

Dark Chibi Moon jumped to dodge the attack but go hit by a few hearts. "That was supposed to hurt?" she asked with a laugh.

"Damn thing never works," muttered Cosmic Moon. Closing her eyes she called forth her cosmic staff. "Cosmic Moonlight Rose," yelled Chibi Moon and as she spun a pink light shot from her staff with a pink rose appearing above her staff.

Believe this attack was as weak as the last Dark Chibi Moon only laughed as the attack sped toward her. When Cosmic Moon stopped and pointed her staff forward the rose shot forward. As the attack got closer she could feel the power of the attack. "Fu…." She said as the attack hit her.

Cosmic Moon held her staff above her head. The staff began to glow as it floated from her hand. Her Pink Ginzuishou floated form the staff turning into her Pink Moon Sword. Pointing the sword at Dark Chibi Moon she ordered her, "Get up!"


"It's just us now," Dark Moon taunted.

"Good," Cosmos said calling forth her staff. "I am done playing."

"Oh I'm scared," Dark Moon mocked.

"I am tired of you hurting my friends," Cosmos told her.

"I only want to hurt you," Dark Moon said rushing toward her, "Dark Moonlight Shower!"

"Moon Cosmic Shower!" The silver light was followed by gold hearts, stars, and crescent moons which came from the pearls located at the base of the orb where the Ginzuishou floated on her staff.

The two attacks clashed and pushed against each other for dominance Dark Moon thought she was winning the fight until the Ginzuishou flared. Cosmos breathed heavily as more power flowed out of her body and into the attack. With a final burst of power Cosmos' attack overpowered Dark Moon. She fell to her knees, "That was harder than I thought."

"Still here," Dark Moon coughed.

Cosmos gripped her staff and closed her eyes. Without looking she knew her staff was changing into her newly acquired Moon Sword. She got up and walked over to Dark Moon. "Please don't make me use this," she said pointing the sword at her dark twin.


"Bitch," Cosmos heard someone yell. Cosmos looked around to see her fellow Senshi had also beaten their darker counterpart. The Senshi looked at Cosmos and she nodded at them. One her command they jumped away from the Dark Senshi forming a circle around them.

"Cosmic Aqua Symphony!"

"Cosmic Ice Rhapsody!"

The Dark Senshi were incased in ice before they could move. "No Ruka," Neptune told her partner.

"What?" she asked.

"Don't play innocent. I know what you were thinking," Neptune replied.


Still in the dimension in which they had been fighting in the Senshi of the Moon stood and watched as Cosmos prepared to heal the Dark Senshi who had been trapped in ice by one of Cosmic Mercury's attacks. Cosmos raised her staff as the Ginzuishou began to glow. "Cosmic Moon….."

Suddenly a blast came from above shattering the ice into dust. When the smoke cleared the Dark Senshi were gone and in their place stood the Doom and Gloom Girls. "We killed you," yelled Cosmic Jupiter.

"Why did you do that," cried Cosmos as a tear ran down her face. "I was going to heal them."

"They were insignificant," said the leader.

"No one is insignificant," Cosmos told them.

"Faith and love are merely illusions," she replied. "We should have done the job ourselves and not relied on others to get the job done." The leader glared at Cosmos, "They are dead and soon you will be too."
