Slayer Senshi (Part 4)
By C. D. Hackett
Everyone was frozen, staring at Sailor Sun with shock.
"Willow?" Buffy asked hesitantly.
Then time seemed to speed up again and the battle resumed.
"Blinding sun spots!" Willow inherently seemed to know what attacks she could use as she protected Neo-Queen Serenity.
"Spike," she cried out, "Get behind me. Now!"
(*)Now that's the sort of talk I like to hear from my girl,(*) he thought proudly, omitting the fact that he'd never admitted to having any feelings for Willow and she had never confessed to having any for him.
"Now! Damn it!"
He darted behind her and realized why she'd shouted at him a moment later.
"Solar flare, enflame!"
A bevy of vampires in front of her were dusted as the power of the sun touched them. She turned back to Spike and winked.
"Willow!" The vamp cried out as he saw the danger a second too late.
Taking advantage of that small window of opportunity, a demon swept her into its embrace and began to crush her.
"No!" Spike went into gameface and leapt upon the demon, savagely attacking it to free Willow. He didn't care if the damned implant made his head implode, he only knew he had to see her safe.
His fangs tore viciously into its scaly neck and he spat out the acidic blood and smirked as it slid to the ground and died. Spike wiped his mouth with disgust and turned to Willow.
"Are you Ok?"
She clung to him, unabashedly, "You saved my life, Spike. Thank you." Then Willow did something quite uncharacteristic. She kissed the vampire lightly on the cheek.
He was stunned and one pale hand caressed the place she had placed her lips. Spike moved his head towards her, his lips moistened, his eyes full of desire, "Remember, Pet, I am evil. I was lying when I said before that seeing you in one of these outfits would turn me good… Maybe if you took it off?" He raised his eyebrows and she blushed.
"Creep. Go fight some evil, Dead-Boy." Willow smiled to herself as he snorted at her statement.
(*)Since when am I "Dead-Boy"?(*)
******
Tuxedo Mask swept his future daughter into his arms and launched a number of roses at the approaching evil. They pierced flesh and damaged some demons, dusted some vampires.
"Be careful,"
"Yes, father."
He released her and murmured to Anya, "Keep her safe."
The former demon nodded curtly and drew the child closer to her.
******
"Aqua Rhapsody!"
Sailor Mercury used one of her elegant attacks as Faith guarded her back. The weakened Slayer glanced at Willow's new look and grinned, "Looking good, Red. Looking mighty good."
"Faith, look out!"
Mercury deflected a blast from a Negaverse monster and cried out as she fell in what seemed like slow motion.
The other scouts all looked to her for a moment and cried out in unison, "Ami!"
"It's under control," Faith grunted as she hoisted the slight girl over her shoulder and pulled back, dusting a vamp as she did so.
******
"Take that!" Joyce spritzed a demon in the face and it began to claw at its eyes, howling in pain.
"What was that?" Giles wondered.
"Some lousy free-gift perfume I got in the mail. It was in my purse," she shrugged as she smiled at him.
"Submarine Reflection!" The Solider of the Sea yelled and then gracefully leapt out of the way of a charging demon.
"Space Sword Blaster!" The grim-faced Sailor Uranus made short work of the creature as it almost impaled itself on her sword.
******
Buffy had recovered from the shock of Willow's strange transformation and was keeping all enemies away from the pale, unhealthy looking Sailor Saturn. She turned to the girl, "Maybe you should get out of here, you could get hurt and--"
Saturn looked up at her and Buffy found herself mesmerized by the myriad of emotions that reflected within the deep, indigo pool of this quiet Sailor's eyes.
"And I don't seem to fight well. I don't. I am a healer and I am the Messiah." The girl motioned with her glaive, "Silence Glaive Surprise."
Buffy didn't notice anything out of the ordinary until creatures bounced off an apparent invisible wall.
"Neat." She beamed and back-flipped 3 times and then defeated a Cobar demon without breaking a sweat.
"Show off!" Xander shouted from where he was punching any demons that weren't unconscious by the time Sailor Jupiter had gotten through with them. He licked his lips nervously and wondering if he could find an outfit like the Sailors for Anya as he marveled at the amazing group of women around him.
******
"Ah!" shrieked Venus as a vampire clamped down on her vein and began to drink, "GET OFF!"
She struggled but was fading fast, her eyes lost their twinkle as her limbs grew limp.
Riley staked the vamp and watched it turn to dust and Venus fell into his arms, blood staining her lips. She struggled to speak but he could not understand her gurgling as more blood seeped out of her mouth. Her eyes became grey and lifeless.
"No!" the cry of horror echoed throughout the ruins of the school and there was a high-pitched hum as the dark crystal that had encased Sailor Moon shattered.
In her grief, she dove to Venus and shook her gently, losing her Neo-Queen transformation, "Minako," she whispered tearfully, "you can't leave us. What will we do with without your smile? Who else will cry with me when we burn our cookies? Don't go, my friend. Please, don't go."
She remained on her knees, sobbing. Then she stood and the shimmering gleam of the Silver Crystal enveloped her. She was the Neo-Queen once more.
"This one is for you, dear friend."
"I am Sailor Moon! Defender of justice and of our world. In the name of the Moon and for the memory of Venus, I will defeat you."
"Mars fire ignite!"
"Moon tiara star!"
The girls joined their attacks and downed a number of the dark warriors.
"Mars," cried Tara, "Look out!"
The long-haired scout turned and dove out of the way of a crumbling chunk of masonry.
"Tara!" Willow shrieked and pointed, "Sunblock!"
A warm shield deflected the stone from crushing Tara, who smiled gratefully and blew Willow a kiss.
Sweatdrop.
Willow turned back into battle and cast a protection spell over the group. Spike waggled his eyebrows at her and she felt a heat rising inside of herself.
******
Neo-Queen Serenity and her daughter joined their crystals and called upon the powers they contained.
The other scouts moved to circle them, adding their remaining powers to hers as they were in position.
"Mars power!"
"Jupiter power!"
"Mercury power!" The blue-haired scout was carried to her place by Faith who shook her head for those who were looking. Mercury was fading fast, but she would not back down.
"Uranus power!"
As Sailor Uranus released her power, she made herself vulnerable and an unexpected energy blast felled her.
"Uranus!" screamed Neptune. She ran to her lover and cradled her head gently, looking worriedly into Haruka's loving eyes, "Michiru," she struggled to speak.
"Silence, flower-of-my-heart, don't talk," Neptune kissed the face she saw whenever she closed her eyes, "It is our destiny to be together."
******
Sailor Pluto shook her head, it wasn't supposed to be like this. Her friends were dying all around her and evil appeared to be winning.
"Dead Scream."
"Jupiter Thunder Dragon!"
After launching those attacks, they joined the others in offering power to their future Queen and Princess.
"Pluto power!"
"Jupiter power!"
Saturn did not join them, she'd been too far away to save Venus but she knelt beside Uranus.
"Father, don't."
Uranus smiled at her foster-daughter, "It is too late for me. You know what you must do if we all fail. Save your energy for that."
Saturn nodded as a salty tear ran down her cheek, "I too, know my destiny." She grasped Uranus' and Neptune's hands tightly, "I love you."
As Saturn moved back, Neptune pleaded with Uranus not to leave her behind.
"We will be together again, you hold my heart and my soul," Uranus sighed as her strength left her.
Their lips met for one final kissed and Neptune screamed in anguish as she saw Uranus succumb to death.
"NEPTUNE TYPHOON!"
In her grief, Neptune discovered a new, powerful attack, but it took so much from her that she fell into the still warm arms of her soulmate and joined her in death, unable to bear the possiblity of life without her.
Willow whirled around, seeing all her fallen companions. Other than the remaining scouts and Tuxedo Mask, she could only see Buffy, Spike, Joyce and Anya on their feet. Her eyes searched for Xander and Giles. Still alive but in poor shape. She sent them smaller versions of her Sunblock Shield and hoped it would help.
(*)I have the answer," she thought excitedly, (*)I have the answer to the prophecy. If Sailor Moon dies, the Hellmouth will open and she draws her strength from her friends. They are dying, she is weakening. But I am the Sun, or at least an aspect of it, if I release all that I am into the Hellmouth, I just may save the world.(*)
Afraid, but determined, Willow moved closer to the opening.
"Goodbye," she whispered.
To be continued.
