Chapter 11 - Confrontation! Serena vs Acxa
In the previous chapter, Serena was been challenged by Acxa, in a sword fight, in order to proved who will be the right lady partner for Keith. However, she had decided that she should break with him, so that he should avoid dangers or risks. The next day, she tell him that their relationship will never stayed longer and she made up her mind that he should stayed away from her, despite his protests. As the two went separated apart, the other paladins including Tom and the other allies are splitting up to find them. On the other hand, Serena sensed that he was in terrible trouble. Acxa, came along with her in rescuing him. Serena, can't resisted that break up with him wasn't the only way to make both of them to be safe from dangers and threats of the Dark Moon. And so, she still determined to rescue him from Princess Diamond no matter what it's takes, despite the warning that her future self told her.
Will she can able to make it on time?
While Sailor Moon along with Acxa are still out there, Tom, Jerry along with Rini, Chibi Chibi, Pidge and Hunk saw a large castleship, in which it was similar to Altean Castle of Lions, but it was the castleship of the Dark Moon. When they had saw the ship, they were surprised.
" Why there was a castleship that similar to the Castle of Lions? I never seen that the Dark Moon created this one. " Tom wondered
" I think they copied it through a huge machine device, to create a thing that it was a same from the original one. " Pidge said
" But the question is.. who owns this Dark creepy thing just like that? " Jerry wondered
But suddenly, Hunk saw the Mamorra blade on the ground, glowing lighter and he picked it up.
" No way... is this... Keith's weapon?! How does dropped here outside of the castleship? " Hunk wondered in surprise, holding the weapon
" Do you think that... " Tom uttered
" I think Keith was in trouble in there. We need to rescued him from inside. " Pidge said
" But, we should need to wait for Allura and the others. I'm sure that they will get here as soon as possible. It was risky for us to get inside there. What if they set up some dangerous traps? If we do, we are all toast. " Rini said
" Maybe this light in the blade will guide us where Keith was. I'm sure of it. " Hunk said to them
" Well, fine. We should get hurried get inside and to rescued him. I hope that the evil ruler might hurt him again so badly. " Jerry said in a rush
And so the group went inside of the castleship. Upon they entered inside the ship, they were surprised that it was full of laser devices were placed on every side of the walls.
" Oh, great. How we gonna rid of these lasers anyway? They are all everywhere. " Tom asked
" Don't worry, just leave everything to me. " Rini said
She released her Luna P ball and she shouted " Luna P Henge, transformed into a bubble gum blaster! "
Her ball turned into a bubble gum blaster.
" A bubble gum blaster? Are you really sure that it will gonna worked out, Rini? " Chibi Chibi asked
" Of course, I'm sure. Watch me. " Rini said
And she fired the bubble gum blaster to every parts of laser devices on every part on the walls. The lasers were turned off immediately.
" Wow, that's was brilliant, Rini. You are very good in firing attacks, just like Lance did. " Pidge said to her
" Not at all, Pidge. " Rini said
And she reversed back to Luna P Ball.
" So, now what? Shall we get going then? " Jerry asked
" Sure thing " Pidge said in response
Before they could continued, both Rini and Chibi Chibi transformed into their Sailor forms while Pidge and Hunk wear their paladin uniforms and helmets. After that, they went continued up, to find and rescued Keith in every part of the castleship.
On the other hand, Keith was woke up from unconsciousness, was surprised that he was already in inside of a locked up tower.
" How did I got here? Don't think it was... "
He remembered on his mind about the first encounter with Princess Diamond from few days ago. After that he thought " No way... she did this?! But what she's really wants from me? "
But then, the door was opened, and the princess came in, making Keith was shocked in surprised.
" It was you again! "
" You are finally awake, I suppose. "
" What do you want from me, Princess Diamond? Are you planning something, aren't you? "
She walks towards him, said with amusement " Of course, I have a better plan for you... Gazer... or should I say... the current leader of the legendary robot defender, Voltron, isn't that right, Keith Kogane? "
Keith, was surprised then he asked " How did you know about me? But why you have bring me here in this dark castleship of yours? "
" Well, I been traveled the whole universe, to invaded everything and to get what I really desired to. After all, you are the most desirable human being that I ever found with, because you are looked like the Emperor of the future Galra. And so, I came here in the present century, to seek you out. That's explained why I wanted to captured you in a secret way. "
" future Galra? What are you talking about? I guess you picked the wrong person, I'm not looked like the Emperor of the Galra empire of the future. Just let me out of here, and to go back to my friends. They are looking for me. " tried to walked back
" You are not going anywhere, paladin Keith. "
" Say what?! " with a frightened expression on his face
" If you trying to run away from me, I will used you as a hostage bait, in order to lured your beloved girlfriend, the legendary warrior of the entire universe, Sailor Moon, and I will killed her into pieces. "
" Wait, no! Don't ever killed her, please. " with a pleading expression on his face
" Are you saying that you will give yourself to me? What a pity guy you are... But not for long... "
Then she covered his mouth with her handkerchief, making him to fell unconscious once again on the floor.
" I will make sure that I will killed her by my own hands and you will be mine forever. " with an evil laughter
But suddenly, the door was barged down, making the princess was shocked. It was actually Pidge and the others. They confronted her, face to face.
" Oh, my... you are the other paladin members of Voltron, eh? Well, all of you are getting in my way again this time. I never thought that you will sneaked here in inside the castleship. That's explains it why all the machines were not functioning well. " Princess Diamond asked, with amusement
" Oh, yeah, We destroyed it because it was not stronger enough for us to set up some deadly traps for us. You can't ever have Keith by your own evil hands. " Pidge said in response
" Just let Keith go, you wicked Dark Moon Princess!! " Hunk shouted, pointed his bayard weapon at her
" You are under arrest in the law of the universe! " Sailor Pink Moon shouted
" It will never let that to happened " Princess Diamond said
Then, she used a fog machine device, making her to escaped from inside, creating a huge hole on the wall, carrying Keith away, still unconscious. Pidge and the others, covered themselves and then after that they were surprised when they saw that she was vanished away from their sight.
" So, now what? " Tom asked
" We need to followed her. We can't let her to bring Keith to a far away place. " Pidge said in response
" You say so, Pidge. " Jerry said
And the group jumped out from the top, landing down on the ground, then went on running and flying, to stop Princess Diamond and to rescued Keith.
On the other hand, Allura and the others found Sailor Moon and Acxa were running in a hurry. When she saw them, she was surprised, went approached, asked " You guys... why are you doing out here? "
" We are so very worried about you, Serena. Hold on, is Keith was with you? Have you two are been arguing with each other? " Lance asked
" We need to be hurried up. Keith was in terrible danger. The Dark Moon was already been here. " Sailor Moon said in a rush
" Say what?! The Dark Moon are here?! Oh no... this is not so good. " Shiro asked, with a shocking expression on his face
" So, now what the plan? We should meet up with Pidge and the others? " Lance asked Allura
" Maybe you are right, let's go! " Allura answered
And they went on running, to catched up with Pidge and the others and to rescued Keith from the evil clutches of Princess Diamond.
While they are continued running, Sailor Moon said, with a painful expression " I just made a huge mistake... I just made a huge mistake... what I have done so terribly?... "
" huge mistake? What are you talking about, Serena? " Shiro asked
But that very moment, Sailor Moon's communicator was ringing loudly.
" I think it was a message to you, Serena. " Coran said
She opened her communicator. When she opened it, it was the voice of Princess Diamond was heard with a diabolical evil laughter, through subliminal waves. When she heard her voice, she was started to get angry, " What do you want, you Dark Moon Princess?! "
The others were surprised in shocked by the princess's voice.
" No way... the princess of the Dark Moon?! " Lance wondered in a surprise
" You gotta to be kidding me! " Coran said in a surprise manner
" It doesn't make sense... " Shiro uttered
" Did you guys met that mysterious stranger in personal? " Acxa asked
The voice of Princess Diamond, greeted Sailor Moon, with evil amusement " It was a pleasure to hear you, the legendary warrior of the universe, Sailor Moon. "
" Alright! Where's Keith?! I know that you are responsible for this! Where's he? " Sailor Moon asked, with full of anger on her face
" Before I could answered your question, you will have to meet me up at the forest at the top of the mountain at exactly 1 hour all by yourself or else you will never seen your beloved paladin leader Keith ever again. " Princess Diamond told her
" Well, fine with me! I will never allowed you to touch him, not even a little single finger on him, got that?! " Sailor Moon replied
" If you insist so, then make it hurry then, Sailor Moon. " Princess Diamond said, with a diabolical evil laughter
After that, her communicator turned off then she turned her back away from them.
" Are you going now? That's was very risky for you to go there. What if she had set a secret huge trap in that place? You will never let yourself get out alive. " Allura asked
" I know. But I will do this in ordered to saved him from her. I accepted any challenges without fear and hesitation. I must keep on fighting until the end. I swear. " Sailor Moon said, as she looks at them, with a determining smile on her face
" Okay, we understand that, Serena. But we will followed you in a secret, just in case that you need some help. " Shiro said
" What are we waiting for? Let's go! " Coran said in a rush
Then, they went on, to go up in the mountain, in which the place where Sailor Moon will confronted Princess Diamond in a secret manner.
Upon they reached at the bottom of the mountain, the paladins and the others are hiding in some huge bushes while Sailor Moon was keeping on walking, going to the mountain.
The paladins and the others were watching her from the farther distance.
" Are you guys really sure about that? It doesn't make sense that she will go up and faced the enemy all by herself. " Acxa asked
" This is the only way. It was her decision that she makes, that she should fight with her own strong determination with faith and besides she can't lose to someone who was more stronger and powerful than her because she was the legendary warrior of the entire universe. " Allura said in response to her
" After all, all of us will relied on her, because she is the fighter with no fear and she accepted any challenges without second hesitation. Since then, she was not doing this because for Keith but also for the entire universe as well. " Lance said
" I guess you both are right... " Acxa uttered, nodded her head
" I think we should wait for her signal to entered in. " Shiro said, in a low tone voice manner
Back when, Sailor Moon had finally reached at the top of the mountain. And so, she was surprised when she saw Princess Diamond, was standing at the center portion.
The princess turned her back to her, said with amusement " Oh, you finally make it on time, legendary warrior Sailor Moon. "
" So, where's Keith? I demand you to release him at once, Diamond!! "
" You wanted me to release your precious lover of yours? " and she laughed loudly, in an evil way then she asked to her " Do you think that I will released him? Well, I won't allowed that to happened. "
" Say what?! "
" I know that he was very desperate because you have declared broke up with him and so I decided that I will catch him so that he will belong to me for real. " with an evil grin on her face
" Why you?... I won't you to have him! And besides, I tried to broke up with him because I was trying to do myself to stay away from him from dangers and threats, that's all. And besides, I will never ever betrayed him because I have still have care and love for him! "
" love was the most useless word that I have ever heard with. There is no such thing like that in the Dark Moon. Our main goal is to conquered the entire universe and all the time bounds, and everyone should be crushed down for good... including you as well. "
" Evil in the universe are think of nothing in their minds but evil desires and obsessment. That's why, I destroyed and healed them with my strong power of love that I have with. It was not useless as you think with in your mind. "
" Ha? Do you think I will believe in that in those words of yours? Well then, let's settled this in a hard way. "
And then, she shown Keith, was been held up by Commander Emerna, tied up both of his hands and his mouth was covered with a handkerchief on it, making Sailor Moon was surprised in shocked.
Then, the princess released her blaster laser gun from her pocket, pointed at her, said " Prepare yourself for your speedy death, Sailor Moon. This is will be your end of your life and you will be fall in the depths of your demise. "
" I'm not afraid of dying. I will sacrifice my own life just for the peace of the universe and for the person whom I been truly cared and loved with. "
" Too late to turn back the past, now it's was the time for you to died. "
And she fired her laser gun at her. Sailor Moon, has no other choice but to covered her eyes. But suddenly, someone blocked the laser off, making Sailor Moon opened her eyes once again, and she was surprised.
" No way... is that... "
It was Allura along with Lance, Shiro, Coran and Acxa were standing beside her then Allura asked, turned her head to her " Are you alright, Serena? "
" Yes, I'm fine. I'm not hurt that much. " Sailor Moon replied
" No way! This is impossible! How they know that I will gonna hit her?! " Princess Diamond wondered, with a shocking expression on her face
" Are you getting out of your mind? You can't do that to fight the enemy on your own so that's the reason why we came up here so that we should helped you out there so that you should never get hurt so badly. " Acxa said to her
" Thanks for saying that, Acxa. " Sailor Moon said
" It was no problem at all, moon face. " Acxa said, with a little insulted expression on her face
" Hurry up and rescued Keith immediately, Sailor Moon! " Shiro told her
" Got it, Sir Shiro. " Sailor Moon responded back
" Damn you... " Princess Diamond uttered, with anger expression on her face
" What you will gonna dealed with them, Your Highness? and how about this mortal human being? " Commander Emerna asked her
Sailor Moon, jumped higher, released her Legendary Moonlight Sword, hitted Commander Emerna on the arm, released Keith from the grasp, making the princess was furious in anger.
" Why you?... " Princess Diamond uttered, with strong anger expression on her face
Then, she landed down on the ground, and after that she released her Eternal Tiare, pointed at her, shouted her attack " Starlight Honeymoon Therapy Kiss!! "
The attack fired to the princess, covered herself, with both of her hands and then she stepped back away, shouted " I'm not done with you yet, Sailor Moon. I will make sure that I will destroyed you to death and the paladin leader will be mine forever!! "
After that, she vanished away from her sight along with Commander Emerna.
" Wohoo! You kicked the evil princess in butt, Serena. " Lance said, with a thumbs up sign pose
" Thanks, Lance. " Sailor Moon said
Then, she went to Keith's aid, helping him to removed the ties from his hands and the handkerchief from his mouth.
" Are you alright, Keith? " she asked
That very moment, Pidge, Hunk along with Tom, Jerry, Sailor Pink Moon and Sailor Chibi Chibi arrived in, approached to Allura and the others.
" Is Serena was alright? " Jerry asked
" And how about that evil Dark Moon Princess? Is she was escaped away? " Hunk asked
" The Dark Moon Princess was vanished away, thanks to Serena. " Shiro said
" Ugh! We didn't make it. We are trying to catch up with that evil moon creep, who was trying to take Keith away from us. " Pidge said, with a little insulted expression on her face
" Don't you need to be worried, guys. He was fine, thanks to Sailor Moon, who had saved the day. " Coran said to them
" Oh yeah, you said that... " Pidge uttered
Back to Sailor Moon and Keith, the two are looking at each other, in different facial expressions.
" Can you able to stand up? " she asked, lended her hand to him
" I'm fine, really. I can able to stand up by myself, Serena. " Keith answered, with a little stubborn expression on his face, stand up again, turned his face away from her, went to them, making Sailor Moon to be upset
The paladins were wondered of their reactions with each other.
" What's the matter with them? " Lance wondered
" Do you think it was an argument of misunderstanding? " Hunk asked
" But what's the reason was it? Do you think it was... " Shiro wondered, in an uttered manner
" I think I still remember of what Serena said to herself that she made a huge mistake... but what kind of mistake that she make with? " Allura wondered
" I have never seen like this in a love relationship from before. Serena was never doing that to Master Jaden from before. I think those two are treated very coldly towards to each other. " Jerry stated
" I think it was a strong comparison, pal. But what huge mistake that she had done? Do you think they are arguing with each other or something? for what reason? " Tom asked him
" Serena will never do that such a thing like to someone else. " Sailor Pink Moon said
" I think it was called avoidment love relationship. " Pidge said
" an avoidment love relationship? " the others asked in a surprise manner
" A kind of love relationship that both singles or married partners are started to reacted so very coldly with each other because due to that he or she was been told by someone that they should stayed away or break up with their special someones, because for their own privacy sake purposes. It was happened that it was depends on the time occurs by. Somehow, they are been arguing with each other sometimes, due to that kind of reason. And that's explains why Serena wanted to stayed away from Keith because she was been told by someone, in order for them, to stayed away from dangers and threats. " Pidge stated
" If that's so, so then, how we gonna make those two reconcile with each other and to returned back to their normal and happy love relationship? " Tom asked
" Okay, here's the plan, me, Shiro and Hunk will gonna talked to Keith while you, Jerry, Allura and Pidge will gonna talked to Serena. " Lance said to them
" Alright! We gonna make them to returned back to their normal love and happy relationship. " Hunk said
" You say so.. " Sailor Chibi Chibi said, with a sigh
That very moment, Acxa approached to Sailor Moon, asked " I guess it was already nighttime, so shall we have our sword duel fight at the Galra Arena? "
" But you said to me that I will fight you tomorrow. " Sailor Moon said
" It was fine with me but I guess you are not getting tired that much. It was okay for you that I will dueled you tonight, so it will be fair for both of us. " Acxa said to her
" Okay, fine. If you insist, let's begin then. " Sailor Moon said
The paladins and their allies were wondered of what they are talking about.
" What they are talking about? They will gonna duel in a sword fight? For what? " Lance wondered
" Do you think that they make a bet or something? " Coran wondered
" I think we should figured out and watch them on how they should fight in a sword battle, I'm right, Keith? " Shiro asked, turned his head to him
But Keith didn't say anything, still his facial expression was still in a stubborn manner, making Shiro was curious of his reaction.
" But first, I need some few minutes to practice my skills then we should have our sword fight. " Sailor Moon said to Acxa
" As you wish to, moon face. " Acxa said
And so, Serena practiced her skills in sword fighting, so that she could be fully prepared to fight against Acxa. During her rehearsal, Allura, Tom, Jerry and Pidge approached to her.
" Um, Serena. We need to asked you for one question. " Allura said
She turned her back to them " Yes, what is it, Allura? "
" Did you and Keith are getting arguing with each other? For what reason? I have never seen you two are arguing with each other. " Allura asked
" Or did someone tell to you that you should stayed away from him because of upcoming dangers approaching? " Pidge asked
" Yes, you guys are right, someone told me that I should stayed away from him so that he should be safe from dangers. " Sailor Moon said in response, nodded her head
" But then... who? " Jerry asked
" It was my future self told me. " Sailor Moon answered
They were surprised of what she said.
" Your future self told you?! " Tom asked, in a surprise manner
" But why your future self told you that you should stayed away from Keith? " Allura asked
" Because of the current dangerous situation, she warned me that I should stayed away from him, so that he could avoid from dangers and risks. But somehow, it was not the only solution to stop this problem, still the Dark Moon targeted him once again. I tried to fight it but I started to feel give up but the moment that Keith needs me at all the times, I still continued to keep fighting for him despite the warning that she told me. But I learned that fighting back was the only way to remove my agony and pain in my mind and in my heart. I still loved him so much. " Sailor Moon stated
" We understand of what you feel, but don't followed of what other people said to you. Just keep on going on loving and caring for him. " Pidge said to her
" Yes, she was right. Don't ever give up too sudden and we know that you are a strong legendary warrior of the entire universe. We are all believe in you. " Jerry said, with determination
" Thanks, guys. Thanks for the advice. " Sailor Moon said with a smile
" No problem, and besides we are all defenders of the entire universe. We are all here to help you out at all the times. " Allura said
" Oh, I guess your rehearsal time was over. Acxa was waiting for you at the arena. " Tom said in a rush
The group went to the Galra Arena. Before the sword fight, Sailor Moon approached to Keith.
" Um, Keith. "
He turned to her, asked " Yes, what is it? " with an insulted expression on his face
" Are you still hate at me? I'm so sorry for what I said to you back then an-"
" and what?! After what you did to me, I was totally desperate that I was in terrible danger because of what you did! You didn't make on time to saved me but you didn't fulfilled that way. What you have done so terribly to me? You trying to broke up with me and now you trying to reconcile with me? Is that way of what you doing with? "
" It wasn't that, the truth is someone told me that I should stayed away from you so that you will safe from dangers but in reality, it makes put our lives at risks. I think it wasn't the only way, to make our relationship ended. Somehow, I never give up on helping you... at always. "
He was surprised of what she said.
" I will always fight back, to removed all my agony and pain in my heart and mind so that I will continued on loving you, despite the dangers occurs in. I think we should worked together to solved this situation. I'm not lying on you, I swear. "
He turned his head to her, asked " Are you doing this just for me? But those things that you said back then... it was... "
" It was all those lies that I said with. After all, I will always depending on you forever until the end. "
" Serena... "
She hold his hand, tightly and then she said to him " I kept on staying by your side no matter what. "
He started to cry in emotional, said " I guess it was the same thing as Shiro told me a while ago. I thought I was right for me that I will hate you because of what you did to me, but I did something wrong but somehow I learned to be understandable that I will accept you once again in my life. You are the only lady whom I can relied to... always. "
She released the proposal ring from her pocket, weared on her finger and then she said " I guess we will continued our wedding plans then. I will always love you so much. "
" I love you too, Serena... from the bottom of my heart always. "
And the two shared a kiss. Unbeknownst to them, Astre, was hiding in the wall, heard their whole conversation, was developed rage in jealousy and then he hatched an evil plan to get rid of Keith and to make Sailor Moon belongs to him.
" So, shall we getting going then? I think Acxa was waiting for you. "
" Sure thing " with a smile on her face
The two walked on the way to the arena, holding their hands.
As they went inside in the arena, Acxa was standing there in the center position. Keith leaves her behind, went to the other paladins. And so, Serena and Acxa are facing with each other.
" Are you ready? "
" As always I can be, Acxa. "
The sword fight begins. The two are charged with each other of their sword skills. Keith, was determined that she still believes in her faith and trust in him.
Acxa, tried to hit her on the shoulder but Sailor Moon quickly dodge away, and she hitted her on the left arm, making her to be unmovable, and she knocked on the ground and she defeated her.
The paladins and her allies were jumped in joy.
" See, I told you so. She still never gives up on everything. " Lance said to Keith
" Yeah.. she still have her trust on me... always. " Keith said, in an uttered manner, holding his locket necklace, through his hand
After the fight, Acxa approached to her " Your skills are not too bad at seems, congrats. "
" Thanks, Acxa. I'll accepted that way. " Sailor Moon said
" And sorry for what I did from before... that I was so very rude to you when I saw you and Keith are together... but somehow I learned that I need to move on... and to find a better man for me. You are the right lady for him. " Acxa apologize
" No need to be apologize to me, after all, we are already be close friends and allies now, in fighting against evil forces. " Sailor Moon said
" You really think so? I will accepted it that and I will always be grateful that I befriended a strong warrior just like you, Sailor Moon... I mean... Serena Tsukino. " Acxa said, with a smile
