Chapter 35

Disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon.

Katie sighed in relief as they hid in a vent as they saw dozens of guards running underneath them in the hallway.

After a minute when Katie thought the hall was cleared, Katie opened up the air vent and both of them jumped down. Katie's senses started to tingle when she looked behind her. Her eyes' widen. Elizabeth felt her tension then asked, "What's wrong?"

Katie said, "Crazy eye is here."

Katie gulped even though she tried to put on a brave front. She could have run but he could have instantly appeared in front of her. She turned around and saw Marvel walking around the corner.

Marvel said with a smile, "Hello, niece."

Katie said backing away, "Hello, Uncle Erik."

Marvel smiled then said, "I see you have your memories back. Do you remember that time I tried to kill you?"

Katie said with confident façade, "Yes, and I also remembered my father kicking you ass and sending you straight to hell right after"

Marvel smiled, "Touché."

Katie asked, "So do we get the courtesy of a head start before you kill us?"

Marvel smiled then said, "I would but I am sick of you and this planet. So I will have to decline maybe next time."

Katie shrugged her shoulders then said in a deadpan voice, "Then, I guess we have to fight."

Marvel said with a smirk, "I'll kill you before you say Celestial…"

Katie said with a smirk, "We shall see." Katie quickly touched the hairband on top of her hair and tossed a dagger at Marvel as her beautiful strawberry blonde hair fell out of its constraints.

Marvel disappeared missing the attack and reappearing said, "Do you honestly think your little girly tricks can…." When he looked around, they were gone. He stomped his foot and said childishly, "Hey!"

When Malcolm reappeared, he was in the throne room of the castle with Mina wearing a scanty black dress leaving nothing to the imagination. Her golden hair was now black and her bright blue eyes were now blank and dark and on her forehead, was the symbol of the dark moon family. She was also wearing black hoop earrings and black six inch stillettos. He was too late. Aries had corrupted her. She was standing next to him while Matthew stood on the opposite of him while Aries sat on the throne nursing his beard. He smirked at Malcolm.

Aries said, "She really is a hell kitten. Maybe your child is now really your brother."

Malcolm yelled angrily as a lot of red energy exerted from his body, "You sick bastard!"

Aries said, "Return to me, my son, and she shall be your bride. If not, she shall be your death. Pick your choice."

Malcolm yelled angrily, "Fuck you!" He placed his hands together as a large bolt of dark energy shot from his hands towards his father. Mina and Matthew leapt out of the way in opposite direction while Aries sat there with a smirk on his face. Mina and Matthew landed on opposite directions of the room in knelt positions. Aries held up his finger and slapped the attack to his left causing a huge explosion as the room shook for a few seconds.

Aries laughed then said clapping his hands, "Son! I am glad that you are finally showing your true strength. Too bad you are on the wrong side."

Matthew heard Katie calling for him to help her, but he would not bulge. Malcolm noticed this and said to his brother, "So are you going to ignore him. Has he corrupted you that badly? The two women, one you have loved and the other you love, are in danger that you have love like I love Mina and you stay here with this sick bastard. You are truly pathetic, brother."

Matthew frowned at his brother. Matthew turned to his father as Mina walked back towards Aries and started to kiss him passionately on the lips as Malcolm turned his head with a defeated look. Aries continued to kiss her as he ran his hands over her body caressing her tight butt.

Aries laughed then said, "Let me have fun with my new whore while you too work things out." He turned to Matthew as Mina was now sitting in his lap kissing his neck. He said to Matthew, "If he does not want to cooperate and come home, it is okay to kill him. Everyone thinks he is dead anyway."

Matthew bowed towards his father and said, "Yes, sir." Aries disappeared with Mina in his arms. Malcolm looked at his brother's angrily. Matthew could sense his tension.

Mina lied naked on her back as Aries thrust roughly inside of her body. She lied there with no life inside of her as he had his way with her. He leaned over and whispered in her ear, "For a whore, you are still tight." He flipped her over and Mina found her hands and legs magically chained to the bed while she lied on her stomach. He lifted up her butt to him and rammed his groin inside of her from behind and began to pound inside of her. Mina lied there unemotional. When he felt himself about to ejaculate, he released her and demanded that she suck him. Mina got on her knees and started to suck him as he pushed her head up and down on him roughly. He said with satisfaction in his voice, "You are such a good fuck no wonder Malcolm desired you, my little hell kitten." When he released his grasp from her hands, he yelled when Mina bit hard on his groin drawing blood. He back slapped her sending her cross the room. Mina was a little disoriented as her head made contact with the wall. He yelled at her grabbing his groin and said, "You little bitch! You're going straight to hell." Her hair turned back to blonde and her dark eyes turned to blue. The dark crescent moon on her forehead transformed into the sign of Venus.

He threw a fireball at her with she quickly dodged. She grabbed a sheet and leapt over the bed running out of the room wrapping the sheet around her.

As Aries yelled, "Guards! Get that bitch and Kill her!" Mina disappeared and reappeared in the throne room where Malcolm and Matthew were engaged in hand to hand combat using their thunder and fire attacks.

When the Black brothers saw Mina, they stopped fighting. Malcolm forgot about Matthew and flew down towards Mina embracing her.

He said softly, "I thought I lost you."

Mina said inhaling his scent, "You did for a second."

Malcolm asked, "How did you break free?"

Mina said, "I tasted his blood while he was having sex with me. I felt like the real me was trapped in a shell of myself and then somehow I was able to take control of my body and something told me to taste his blood."

Mina looked up at both Malcolm and Matthew and said, "He is not invincible. If you two taste his blood, you could be powerful enough to defeat him and kill him once and for all."

Malcolm said, "That does make sense. Our blood is our life essence. If we taste it, then we can have the power that he has."

Matthew said, "But it could corrupt us."

Malcolm said angrily at his brother, "You are already corrupt, or you going to go tell him what you know."

Matthew smiled at his big brother and said, "No! I am going to help you get rid of him once and for all."

Malcolm looked confused as he placed an arm around Mina and asked, "What the hell happened to you?"

Matthew said with a goofy grin, "Katie, she healed me."

Malcolm looked in disgust and said, "Katie! She is like a daughter to me. You are like her uncle!'

Matthew said, "You thought of her as a daughter. I have never thought of her as a niece. She was like this annoying little brat that it took me a lifetime to realize that I adore her. She healed me."

Malcolm pleaded, "Please tell me that you just kissed her and she magically healed you like Serenity did to me."

Matthew gave him a knowing smile and said, "Ask me no questions, and I shall tell you know lies, but it was amazing. I think I may make her queen after we are done with the old man."

Malcolm said, "I cannot believe this."

Matthew said, "I could not believe you slept with Serenity and wasn't she like a sister to us too."

Malcolm said dumbfounded, "That was different!"

Matthew and Mina said simultaneously, "Hypocrite."

Malcolm sighed then said in a serious mode to his brother, "Are you ready, little brother?"

Matthew said, "Yes!"

Malcolm asked, "Are you going to go through with it this time and kill him for good?"

Matthew said, "I will. I promise, and I will spend my life trying to make amends of all the people I have wronged under Judas' control."

Malcolm said, "Then let's be heroes and end this chapter of our life for good."

Malcolm said to Mina, "I would kiss you right now, but the scent of my father on you is making me ill. Why don't you go clean up and return to your friends on the battlefield. I do not want anything holding me back from killing that bastard."

Mina smiled then disappeared.

The portal soon closed as Mars and the Sailor Senshi had already come out of the portal and stood behind Endyimon and the Four Shitennou. Sailor Jupiter and Sailor Mercury appeared. When they saw Sailor Mars, they quickly ran to each other and hugged one another. Mina hid in the shadows as she watched her three friends embraced one another. She closed her eyes and prayed, "Serenity, please grant me the power to be a sailor scout one last time and help my friends fight this final battle."

When Mina opened her eyes she was flowing nude in space in front of a full moon. Serenity appeared before her in her final form which was nude with her angel wings. Serenity stared at Mina and held out her hand. Mina touched her hand and closed her eyes again as she gasped as she felt a surge of energy forming through her body as her hairband and bow came out of her hair and her hair started floating wildly behind her as if it was becoming longer. A magically aura came over her body and she gasped when she transformed into Sailor Cosmos with a white mask over her eyes holding the holy moon staff in her hands and her beautiful golden hair fell all the way to her ankles. She looked regal and beautiful.

Serenity said, "From this day forth, you will no longer be Sailor Venus or Minako Aino. She died today and you were reborn as Sailor Cosmos, the most powerful Sailor Senshi throughout the intergalactic world. You are the ultimate goodness as if King Matthew is the ultimate evil. Both of you are needed to bring balance into our world. Remember, there can be no darkness without light and no light without darkness. Do well, with your new destiny."

Sailor Cosmos bowed and said, "Yes, my princess." Sailor Cosmos disappeared and reappeared on Earth.

Even as the last of Endyimon's Golden Army aligned on Earth, the Inner Senshi, the Sailor Senshi, the Shitennou, Endyimon and even the Golden Army were mesmerized when they saw Sailor Cosmos as she walked towards them. The Sailor Senshi bowed as she walked passed them towards Endyimon.

Endyimon gave her a once over and said, "I see you got an upgrade."

Sailor Cosmos said looking around, "And so did you?"

Endyimon smirked then said, "Are you ready for the battle of our lives?"

Sailor Cosmos smiled then said, "I am always ready for good battle with those who threaten our peace."

Sailor Cosmos when the Inner Senshi came up to her.

Sailor Jupiter said admiring her friend's outfit, "I guess no more Sailor Venus."

Sailor Mars added, "Or Minako Aino."

Sailor Mercury added, "Or Sailor V Movie." All four girls laughed.

Sailor Cosmos shook her head and said, "No! My destiny has changed."

Sailor Mars said with a reluctant smile, "Then we are happy for you, Sailor Cosmos…Mina."

Sailor Cosmos smiled at her friends.

Endyimon said, "Ladies, it's time to fight." The girls quickly lined up next to Endyimon. Endyimon and Sailor Cosmos stood side to side with the Inner Senshi standing on her left while his Four Shitennou stood on his right. They looked at the Demonic Army on ten million soldiers staring at them.

Endyimon said to Sailor Cosmos, "See you on the other side." He then yelled, "Charge!" They started to race towards the demonic army who raced towards them.

Marvel threw Elizabeth against a wall nearly knocking her unconscious. As he was about to throw a green energy ball to kill her, Sailor Celestial yelled, "Celestial Firestorm Charge." He became annoyed when he quickly turned around and easily dismissed the attack. When he turned around, he saw Celestial helping Elizabeth to safety.

Marvel said angrily in a flamboyant voice, "Not this time, bitches!" He twirled his finger and tossed them an energy ball that had both of them swirling against the wall knocking the wind out of them.

He took out his sword and slowly walked towards their limp bodies.

Malcolm and Matthew engaged in hand to hand combat with Aries combining their attacks to attack him. Aries easily dodged their attacks. They started to fight him in a hand to hand battle and Aries fought both of them at the same time knocking them in opposite directions of the room. Malcolm and Matthew stared at each other as they sat up and nodded at one another. As Malcolm's eyes glowed dark, a thunderstorm started to form in the room. Aries rolled his eyes and looked bored.

Endyimon, Cosmos, and the Sailor Senshi engaged in a hand to hand combat with the Demonic army. Jadeite destroyed hundreds with his energy balls from the air. Nephrite and Kunzite destroyed hundreds as they combined their attacks in the air. Zoicite stayed on the ground and engaged in hand to hand combat with the soldier battling them with his sword and then tossing energy balls other times.

Sailor Cosmos attacked with her holy moon staff and destroyed thousands. Sailor Mars yelled, "Mars Celestial Fire Surround" and destroyed hundreds.

Sailor Mercury yelled, "Double Shabon Spray Freezing." Freezing hundreds of the soldiers frozen solid.

Sailor Jupiter then said, "Jupiter Oak Evolution" and destroyed them. Mercury and Jupiter high-fived each other.

Endyimon took the air approach and yelled, "Golden Crystal Annihilation" and destroyed thousands of them.

The rest of the Sailor Senshi engaged in hand to hand combat and attacked the soldiers with their attacks. Some of their attacks were more powerful than others. Those with the weakest attacks were slashed to death by the Demonic armies. Some with powerful attacks were still killed if they were not clever with their attacks. The Golden Army matched the Demonic Army in strengthen and numbers as the ancient armies engaged in hand to hand combat and fought each other with the clashing of swords.

Endyimon felt a powerful presence heading his way. He turned around and smiled when he saw that it was the golden dragon Ergon flying towards them. Endyimon's eyes turned golden and his golden helmet covered his family. He leaped upwards and landed on the back of Ergon, who charged towards the demonic army and opened his mouth attacking the Demonic army with a gigantic and powerful blast of golden energy destroying half of them.

As Marvel slowly approached them, Celestial said weakly as she slowly tried to stand up, "Matthew…"

Matthew knelt to the ground and said, "I hear you Katie. Just stay with me a little bit longer. " As Malcolm distracted Aries with his thunder and lightning attacks. Matthew transformed. With Aries back towards him, he leapt up disappearing and reappearing. When Aries turned around, Matthew was nowhere to be found. Aries growled when he felt Matthew biting his fangs into his neck from behind him and greedily sucking his blood and life essence. He growled again when Malcolm bit into the other side of his neck. Aries growled when they both apart from him ripping a pieces of his neck off and spitting them out. They wiped the blood of their mouths.

Aries growled as he transformed and black wings burst out of his back. His hair grew longer and his teeth became longer and sharper. His skin became furry until he resembled a vicious werewolf with wings. Malcolm and Matthew simultaneously attacked Aries with their thunder and fire attacks which were now stronger since they were more powerful.

Elizabeth slowly started to gain consciousness. Celestial weakly turned around and saw Marvel slowly approaching them. She weakly grabbed Elizabeth's hand. Before Marvel strike his sword, they had disappeared.

Marvel smirked. They disappeared inside of the air vent.

Elizabeth asked weakly, "Can you teleport us outside the castle?"

Celestial weakly shook her head as she turned back into Katie, "I can't. Too weak."

The battle was coming to an end and the Earth was winning. Mercury yelled, "Mercury Aqua Mirage." She destroyed hundreds of them but she did not realize that a demonic soldier was behind her ready to attack her. Mercury gasped when she turned around to see a demonic creature about to stab her with his sword until she saw Jadeite blocking his attack with his attack then engaged in a sword's battle with the creature before stabbing him in the stomach and killing him.

He asked worried, "Are you okay?"

Mercury nodded then said, "I'm okay."

Jadeite smiled then said, "I'm glad then, Ami."

Mercury asked, "How do you know my real name?"

Jadeite said, "We went to primary school together before your mother transferred to the Japan to work at the hospital. You never paid me any mind because you always had your nose in your books. By the time, I finally muster of the courage to ask you out, you left school and moved away."

Mercury was stunned. Jadeite asked, "Can we have coffee after this is over with one day?"

Mercury said in stupor, "I can't. I'm pregnant. It's not good for the baby."

Jadeite asked downcasted, "So you are married?"

Mercury said, " I am a widow. Marvel killed my husband."

Jadeite said, "I am sorry to hear that. He had to be a lucky guy to snag you."

Mercury blushed then said, "I have a lot on my plate right now, but I'll get back to you on the breakfast date thingy."

Jadeite laughed then said, "Okay, that will do."

They laughed then Jadeite's face became serious and he pushed her behind him. He tossed an energy ball as a couple soldiers that were heading their way. They continued the battle and fought.

Malcolm smirked then said, "Well, Aries, it looks like you are losing. Why don't you give up now?"

Aries said angrily, "Never! If I have to go down, I am taking this entire world to hell with me." A large portal opened around sucking up everything around him. Malcolm and Matthew used all their weight to keep from being sucked up.

Matthew yelled to Malcolm, "It's now or never!"

Malcolm yelled, "It's now!"

Malcolm and Matthew simultaneously took out their swords and yelled in unity, "Brother Swords of Destruction destroy thee!"

The two swords blasted powerful energy from them and formed together causing Aries to scream as he exploded in smithereens as his body pieces flew into the portal causing it to close. The castle started to crumble around them.

Matthew asked, "What's going on?"

Malcolm said, "With Aries going, the castle is sinking back to hell. Come on with have to go."

Matthew yelled, "No, I have to find Elizabeth and Katie."

Malcolm yelled as debris and rubble started to fall, "No, I will not lose you again. You're all I got."

Matthew yelled with a smile, "You're mistaken. You have a woman that loves you and a child on the way. You have everything. Now go to them!"

Malcolm was hesitant then said, "Find them and get your ass out of here, pronto!"

Matthew yelled, "Okay." Malcolm disappeared and reappeared on the battle field as he felt the castle collapsing on the ground. The battle was practically over and the Earthlings had won. They were defeating the last of the Demonic Army.

Marvel ripped opened the vent and pulled Katie roughly through the vent dislocating her leg. Elizabeth fell to the ground as she started to crawl away backwards. Katie slowly started to crawl away.

She screamed when she looked up and saw that she bumped into Kuroki Mio. Matthew reappeared and disappeared throughout the castle searching for Katie. He no longer felt her presence. He heard Elizabeth's scream.

When he reappeared, he saw Marvel holding Katie with his sword pressed to her neck while Kuroki Mio held Liz with a knife to her throat. They both were standing near an edge of a cliff that led to an endless pit that no one demon or moral ever came back from.

Kuroki Mio said, "King Matthew, it is time that you choose your destiny. Will it be the annoying little girl or the annoying little sun princess. Who do you want?"

Marvel said, "You can't kill us both, and you do not know who we will choose to kill. Maybe we will kill Princess Catherine if you choose Princess Elizabeth."

Kuroki Mio said, "Or Princess Elizabeth if you choose Princess Catherine."

Marvel smiled then said, "Or we may give you the one you choose. So who is the love of your life. Katie or Liz?"

Matthew looked at Katie and Elizabeth. He stared into Elizabeth's eyes that were filled with fear, and he looked at Katie who looked at him weakly like she was about to pass out.

Matthew yelled, "Release them before I kill you!"

Kuroki Mio said, "You cannot save them both. Marvel has great power, but I have great speed. Tick tock your majesty." The castle started to rumble and pillars and bricks were falling around them. "Time is not on your side, your majesty."

Elizabeth cried, "Choose Katie, you love her and I have nothing to live for. Grant me death!"

Katie weakly turned to Elizabeth and said, "As long as you have breath, there is always something to live for like your…son…"

Elizabeth and Matthew turned frantically towards Katie as she continued as she looked at Matthew, "I forgot to tell you that I saved your son. I know you told me not to interfere in this battle, but you were so lost that I had no choice. So before I came to Earth, I went to Planet Emily and saved him before the planet exploded. His body was destroyed, but I was able to save his star seed. I brought him to Earth but something strange happened, and I thought I lost it somewhere on Earth. Serenity told me that he was reborn and granted a new life on this planet."

Elizabeth asked confused, "You talked to Serenity."

Katie nodded to Elizabeth and answered, "She was the one who summoned me to Earth before she died."

Katie turned to both of them as she spoke, "Matthew, you have to fix those wrongs that you have done and Elizabeth, you have to stop being the victim and take control of your life. You are stronger than you think you are and people can only harm you and hurt you if you allow them too. You are more powerful than you realized."

Elizabeth asked, "You sound like Serenity. Are you Serenity?"

Katie smiled then said, "Death is only the beginning." Katie turned to Matthew and said, "Good-bye to both of you."

Matthew and Elizabeth's eyes widen as Katie pushed Marvel backwards causing both Marvel and Katie to fall into the bottomless pit.

Elizabeth yelled angrily, "Sun Crystal Power!" A yellow aura surrounded her body. The symbol of the yellow sun appeared on her forehead. She turned into Sailor Celestial before Matthew's eyes.

She screamed like a banshee destroying Kuroki Mio who held her tightly as she screamed. When Kuroki Mio was finally dead for good, Matthew was about to jump into the bottomless pit as he saw Katie and Marvel falling as Marvel screamed like a woman. Katie yelled loudly as her voice echoed through the room, "No!"

A yellow light erupted from Katie's body destroying Marvel and herself as the light when up from the pit. Matthew grabbed onto Elizabeth and held her into his arms.

Elizabeth yelled, "We are going to die!"

Matthew yelled, "Katie! No! Don't do this! I want to be with you!"

Elizabeth cried pulling him away from the pit before the light destroyed them, "Matt, we have to go before we die."

Matthew yelled, "I have nothing to live for. I have no one."

Elizabeth cried, "You have a son. Family is everything." Matthew looked at her as the light slowly reached them. Matthew grabbed Elizabeth's hand and teleported them outside of the castle.

They watched along with Endyimon, the Sailor Senshi, the Shitennou, and the Golden Army as the Dark Moon Kingdom Castle exploded as a yellow blast exploded from it. Malcolm held Sailor Cosmo in his arms protecting her. Jadeite protected Sailor Mercury. Sailor Mars and Sailor Jupiter shielded themselves, and Matthew embraced Sailor Celestial who slowly de-transformed into Elizabeth.

When the explosion cleared, there was no trace of the Dark Moon Family presence anywhere on the planet. It was like they were never there.

Everyone erupted in cheer even though they were sad at all that they lost. Endyimon nodded as Ergon bowed before him and flew into the air returning to his sleeping somber in the vast forest of Elysian and the Golden Army slowly disappeared around them.

Endyimon felt a hand on his back. His eyes widen as he turned around to see it was Malcolm. They watched with smiles as the Inner Senshi were happy to be together again and greeted the Sailor Senshi from across the galaxies who bowed before them and treated them like they were legends.

Malcolm said, "You were quite impressive, Endyimon."

Endyimon said, "So were you."

Malcolm said, "You are a great king."

"And you have my respect and loyalty." Endyimon turned to Matthew was now on his other side.

Endyimon said, "I want to hate you, Matthew for what you did."

Matthew sighed then said, "You cannot hate me as much as I hate myself."

Malcolm said, "You cannot blame yourself brother. Judas had you under his control since you were a body."

Matthew asked, "It does not matter who shoots the gun. I still allowed him to have control of my body because I so much wanted my father to love me. I spent all this time searching for the love of a father who died before my eyes and I could not remember."

Malcolm said, "I let go of that protective love for our father a long time ago, and learnt that I have to love myself and become my own man. When you love yourself, then that is true strength."

Matthew laughed then said, "Where were you when I needed all of this brotherly wisdom?"

Malcolm said ruffling his brother's hair, "I always gave it to you, you little brat. You just never listened." The brothers smiled at each other then became serious as they saw the sad look on Endyimon's face.

Matthew smiled then said to Endyimon, "Don't be sad. Continue to live your life and your destiny will find you."

Endyimon asked, "What the hell does that means?"

Matthew shrugged his shoulders then said, "I don't know. I was just meant to tell you that." Even though it was by Matthew's body that Serenity was killed, Endyimon could not feel any ill will towards him because Serenity loved him and together Matthew and Malcolm had avenged them all and killed the bastard that caused them all so much pain. Serenity's killer paid for his crime and he shall never return.

The girls watched as Mina used the Holy Moon Staff to return the girls to their home planet. Matthew looked in the distance and saw Elizabeth standing off by herself looking at Katie's Indonesian Warrior Beads.

When he approached her, Elizabeth said, "Katie gave me these." She looked up at Matthew. "It is amazing that I knew this girl for only a few moments and she changed my life. She instilled so much self-confidence in me within a few moments than my entire family did in a lifetime."

Elizabeth said, "I know that it was not your fault for what happened on the moon. We were just innocent kids back then desperately wanting our parents to love us. Yes, you were upset when you found out that I was married and had our son, but you did not kill my husband or my people. It was Judas the whole time and he used your desperate desire for your father to love you as a weapon to kill them and even your own sister and mother." Matthew's eyes became emotional.

Elizabeth said as she became emotional also, "What I am trying to say inarticulately is that love you Matthew Black and I always will and I forgive you for all the things that Judas used you to hurt me with, but I cannot forget. To love you is to embrace that pain, and I cannot live in the past. I am so sorry, Matthew."

For the first time in his life, tears ran down his cheeks and he began to sob hysterically. He collapsed to his knees and began to cry as he bent over and touched the ground with his hands. Elizabeth placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder and then walked off leaving him and the pain that he caused her behind her. He cried for all his wrongdoings, the loss of his mother, his sister, his father, and Katie. He cried for the loss of Elizabeth. He cried for the loneliness he felt.

Malcolm raced over and knelt down and comforted his brother. Matthew cried, "I am so sorry. I am so sorry. What have I done?"

Malcolm soothed them as he allowed him to just cry as Endyimon, the Inner Senshi, the Shitennou watched the scene and felt sorry for the brothers.
