Disclaimers: Nothing here is mine, well, except the plot and the pairing.
Chapter 51: Darkness' End.
As Anubis released the shield, the Senshi could see Demando and Sapphir glaring at the Wiseman. Black Lady stood beside the cloaked figure and grinned evilly.
"Good, the Senshi are here." Wiseman hissed "You'll get to see how I destroy them before I destroy you as well."
"Wiseman, I cannot let you destroy them..." Demando said standing in between the Senshi and the two evil beings.
"Why not? They killed all of your family." Black Lady noted.
"It wasn't their fault." Demando said. "It was all part of the Wiseman's scheme..."
"I cannot believe that. You know the Senshi killed them." Black Lady said.
"So you can't... It won't matter if the Wiseman wins... You were born in the 30th century, if the Earth's destroyed now, what do you think will happen to you?" Sapphir asked.
"I..." Black Lady said, a shadow of doubt in her eyes for a moment.
"Shut up!" Wiseman shouted and unleashed an attack. It hit Sapphir dead on sending him crashing back a few feet.
"Sapphir !" Demando said and run to his brother's side.
Sapphir tried to stand up but collapsed to the ground. "Demando..."
"Brother..." Demando said kneeling besides him.
"Demando... Don't let him kill the Senshi... If he does, all will be lost." Sapphir said and closed his eyes.
Demando stood up as Sapphir's body started vanishing. He gave the Wiseman a cold glare and charged up for an attack. "All of my family's gone because of you. I won't forgive you for that!" He sent another massive energy beam at Wiseman, who countered with his own attack.
Moon saw Black Lady was confused and started walking towards her, "Chibi-Usa... Please remember..."
"Don't come any closer!" Black Lady warned and raised a hand.
"You know you don't want to hurt me. The Wiseman was only using you to achieve his goals... Chibi-Usa, I'm not going to give up until I get you back." Sailor Moon said. Black Lady stood there frozen in place. Moon reached out and took her hand. "Come back to us, Chibi-Usa..."
As Moon took Black Lady's hand, the Ginzuishou started glowing. Black Lady's body also glowed white and she changed into Chibi-Usa. The little girl looked up at Moon and smiled "Thanks, Sailor Moon..."
Wiseman looked away from his struggle with Demando and saw Moon and Chibi-Usa, "I should have destroyed you both when I could..." He floated to the side, still holding his attack on Demando, then aimed his arms at Chibi-Usa and Usagi. "Now I'll correct that mistake."
Moon and Chibi-Usa both gasped as a wave of dark energy flew at them. Something stepped in between them, stopping the attack. Moon looked in shock as Demando fell to his knees in front of her. "Demando...?"
"Sailor Moon... Kill that bastard for me." Demando whispered as his body started vanishing.
"How noble of him..." Wiseman said mockingly. "But it was all for naught." He once again raised his hands to blast Moon and Chibi-Usa but a pair of energy balls hit him from behind. "Who dares attacking me?" He shouted furiously.
"Ail and Ann, super powered aliens." Ail said. "Nice to meet you." He added with a small bow.
Wiseman shot two massive energy blasts at the two aliens, who dodged the attacks and countered with their energy balls. Wiseman forgot about the Senshi for a moment and started shooting blasts at the twins with an amazing speed.
"He's distracted." Mars noted.
"Let's get him now." Jupiter added.
Wiseman grinned as Ail and Ann fell to the tower's roof with a thud. He then turned and noticed the Senshi preparing to attack. "Too late, Senshi... The crystal's power makes me invincible!" He shot a massive energy wave at the Senshi, Dragon Venus and Dragon Earth leapt in front of Moon and Chibi-Usa to cover them. Both girls gasped in shock as their friends fell to the ground, unmoving. "Yes! Nothing can stop me!"
"Everyone..." Sailor Moon whispered and her eyes watered.
"I won't... Let him hurt my... Friends!" Chibi-Usa shouted angrily. Suddenly the future Ginzuishou appeared in front of her "But... How?" She looked at the crystal "It was inside of me all this time... " She said to herself.
"Moon Star Power!" Sailor Moon powered up and glared at the Wiseman "Run Chibi-Usa, I'll stop him."
"No." Chibi-Usa shook her head and grabbed her Ginzuishou. Her body was covered by light. "I'll help you this time. Moon Prism Power... Make Up!"
Both Moon and the Wiseman looked in shock as Chibi-Usa's outfit morphed into a Senshi outfit resembling Moon's one, only the collar, boots and skirt were pink. "You hurt my friends and threatened our planet. For that, I cannot forgive you. Sailor Chibi-Moon will punish you!" Chibi-Moon said striking a pose.
"Sailor Chibi-Moon..." Moon said in awe.
"Her Senshi powers awakened... This can't be happening..." Wiseman hissed.
"There's nowhere to run, Wiseman. This is the end of the line. Moon Twilight Beam!"
"Moonlight Flash!"
Both attacks washed over the Wiseman vaporizing him. As he vanished, the crystal around the tower also disintegrated.
The Senshi, Ail and Ann all woke up and looked at the two Moon Senshi. "What the hell...?" Dragon Venus muttered looking at Chibi-Moon.
"Like mother, like daughter." Dragon Earth noted, "She's as strong as Sailor Moon is in her normal form."
"Wow..." Jupiter looked at the two Moons and sighed. "Well, at last it's over..."
"Yeah, until the Angry Andromedan Amebes come to invade us." Anubis muttered.
"Angry Andromedan Amebes..." Dragon Venus chuckled. "Good one."
"So, what's her Senshi name? Sailor Moon 1.5?" Nemesis asked.
"I'm Sailor Chibi-Moon." Chibi-Moon announced proudly.
"Chibi-Moon?" Jupiter muttered and grimaced.
"Hey, at least she's not Mini-Moon." Dragon Venus noted. The others laughed.
Later that night, the group was once again at Rei's Temple. "Well, it seems like things will be back to normal now." Usagi noted.
"Yeah... Hopefully this will be the last enemy we'll fight..." Makoto said.
"Don't bet on it." Chibi-Usa said with a grin.
"Huh? You mean there're other aliens to fight?" Minako asked.
"I cannot tell you when they'll strike, or who they'll be, but this won't be the last time you'll fight to protect the Earth." Chibi-Usa explained.
"Oh goodie..." Rei muttered.
"Well, at least we stand warned." Ami commented.
Suddenly there was a flash of light, and Sailor Pluto appeared, "Small Lady, Queen Serenity wants you to go back to Crystal Tokyo."
"So mom's okay?" Chibi-Usa asked, beaming.
"Yes... She's all right now... Thanks to the Senshi of the past... And you." Pluto said.
"But not thanks to you." Mamoru muttered.
Pluto sighed, "I couldn't help you this time."
"Yeah right..."
"Mamoru, my mission is to keep the time lines as they are supposed to be... I've seen things you can't imagine, but I cannot step in and solve everyone's troubles... There's battles that must be lost... Allies that must be lost..."
"You mean, like Demando?" Usagi asked.
Pluto nodded, "He wasn't evil for himself, but for his actions... And that final sacrifice he made redeemed him in many ways... With the Dark Moon gone, the war will be over soon. And the Wiseman's threat to the Earth is over as well..."
Mamoru sighed, "Well... I guess you have a point... But..."
Pluto looked at him in the eyes, "You cannot change the past... If you did, your future would change... I know it hurts, but this is the way it was meant to be."
Mamoru nodded understandingly, "Yes. You're right."
Chibi-Usa looked at the group "Well... I must leave now... I'll see you again..."
"Goodbye, Chibi-Usa..." Usagi said.
"Hey, you'll only have to wait for 1000 years to see me again." Chibi-Usa noted with a smirk.
"Time flies." Pluto said "You'll see her sooner than you think." Chibi-Usa waved at her friends as both vanished.
In a house near Ami's apartment, a girl with short black hair and black eyes was looking out the window, "I feel an evil presence..." She said in a whisper as the mark of Saturn glowed faintly on her forehead. "I may have to get involved in this battle... If that's the case, I must get ready." She walked out of the room closing the door behind her.
A pair of red, glowing eyes was looking at the Earth from a distance. They had been observing the battle that had ended a few hours ago, and had been unhappy with the outcome. Metallia, Wiseman, they had been only failures. He didn't hold too much hope for his newest pawn either. But he knew that sooner or later the Senshi would fall, and then this world would belong to him...
SailorStar9: *Dodges pitchforks, rakes, other assorted weapons and offensive jutsu from reviewers for making Chibi-Moon as strong as Moon* Yes, Saturn makes an early appearance and she won't be Mistress 9; that role is for someone else. Now that's done. Read and review folks.
