***Part Ten***

Note: I know…I said I would do it in different format this time, but I figured out it wouldn't really matter. I was going to do it in color code, sort of…but it wouldn't be very resourceful since they are all in the same area…again. Gomen…




Everyone starred at Ami's body. Her death had, apparently, undone the transformation. Ami's corpse lie on the ground, the henshin stick loosely wrapped in her lifeless fingers. Moon turned around and glared. "How could you?"
"Very carefully," Anetka replied.
Mars looked around frantically. There were…only three of them. Four, including Tuxedo Kamen…but he was most likely inside…mourning over Chibiusa's death. She sighed at the very thought of him. This was definitely going to be one of the most important battles they had ever fought, and the chances of them winning didn't look very hopeful. Three of them were left, and, by the looks of it, Bishonen and Anetka weren't going to give up any time soon. There was a little friction between the two, and it might work to their advantage.
Mamoru, dressed in a cape and mask, came out of the house with tear-stained cheeks. Nobody dared asked, they all knew. He gazed up at the demon that stood before him. "You…you… ikimas Ni jigoku, demon!*"
Anetka smirked. "Been there…done that…"
Tuxedo Kamen walked forward. If he knew fear, it was not showing at that moment. He had killed two very good friends and one who held close. If someone didn't stop her now…she would kill everyone else, too. She was ruthless; she didn't care what she had to do to get what she wanted.
Anetka drew her arrow once more. Bishonen drew his sword and waited for the battle to start. Placing the golden-tipped arrow carefully in its place, she aimed. Tuxedo Kamen stood in his place, waiting to dodge. What an idiot, Anetka thought, laughing slightly. She let go, and the arrow flew tip first for Tuxedo Kamen's chest. He quickly dodged, and the arrow sailed right passed him. Anetka realized were the arrow was heading and gasped. "BISHONEN! DUCK!!"


*** *** ***

Bishonen lay on the grown, his sword a few feet from him. Anetka floated above it all, bewildered. She had killed him. In past events, she had … playfully attempted it. But he always knew, and he always dodged. The arrow would just hit a careless pedestrian. But now…now…he was really dead. Curse whoever didn't grant us immortality! Anetka thought to herself, grinding teeth. He'll pay. No…all of them will pay for what they did.
Tuxedo Kamen looked at Bishonen's corpse and sighed. Maybe it was for the better. His heart wasn't all pure…after all. Sure, he wasn't as cruel and cold as his sister…but he was still evil. He threw a glance to Anetka, then grabbed Bishonen's sword. Walking over to Anetka, he swallowed. He felt like he was walking towards his death. It was common sense not to do this, but the rage inside him wouldn't let him stop. This was something he had to do. Either he killed her…or got killed trying. At the moment he stood in a fighting pose.
"Mamo-chan…" Came a small voice from behind him.
His eyes widened and her turned around. "Usagi…"
She gazed up at him, her eyes glazed with tears. "Mamoru…please…don't."
Tuxedo Kamen shook his head, avoiding her gaze as much as possible. "Usako. I'm sorry. For everything." He stooped down slightly and kissed her. For one brief moment, all was forgotten. The deaths, the battle, and the seemingly unforgettable betrayal. All that was avoided in the deep moment of passion. The deep…short moment of passion.
Anetka stared down at the two. Embracing each other, lips locked. She snickered. This was a perfect time to take two down with one stone. Straining her hand, she focused on the arrow. The two would never notice the arrow coming towards her, they were too involved trying to forget everything around them. The arrow quickly flew into her hands. Anetka blew on, cleaning of the arrow. Placing the arrow in the bow, she grimaces. This was going to be too easy, she thought. She shrugged and aimed. She then let go. "Look out…" She spoke quietly, "here comes your death."
The arrow flew with an unusual amount of speed and went straight through the two. They both fell to the ground, still in one another's arms…their lips still pressed together.
All eyes widened, except Anetka. There were only two left, just two. Moon was gone, and that was mainly their only hope. But she's gone.
"She's gone…" Mars thought, tears flooding down her cheeks in steady streams. The only one she trusted with anything was gone. Several feelings coursed through her body in a matter of seconds. Regret, hatred, sorrow. They had argued so many times, often over fruitless things. But their friendship was still held together somehow. It was like a spiders web. Rocks were thrown at it, bugs were caught in it, but it was still strong enough to with hold so much. That was like their friendship was like…but now it was gone. Usagi was gone. Mars' temper flared. She could not longer control it.
Anetka stared down at the petty girl. She thought she was something, with her temper and everything. "What are you doing down there, little lady?"
Mars closed her eyes and looked towards the ground, concentrating as hard as she could, blocking out all noises, all thoughts, and all fears.
Jupiter looked at Mars. She didn't know what she was doing, but she could tell her power level was increasing dramatically. Deciding that Anetka might start noticing this, she needed to stall. She grabbed the sword out of Mamoru's hand and charged towards Anetka. Not reacting quickly enough, she stopped floating and fell to the ground with and oomph.
Jupiter snickered and charged herself once more at Anetka. Responding more quickly this time she got up and slid to the side. She went to grab the arrow out of her quiver, but it was still lying beside Mamoru and Usagi. She snickered and went to summon it. Before she could, a sharp pain was sent through her arm. A hot liquid trickled down. Blood. "Oh god…" Anetka said, growing dizzy at the sight. She shook her head, snapping herself out of it. I can't let such a weak person get to me…I just can't, Anetka thought. She front flipped in the air and strained her hand. The arrow flew into her hand and she grasped it. Landing gracefully on the ground, she avoided another slash. Jupiter stood, exhausted. She was going to die; she knew it. Mars was the last hope to do some damage. But me, Jupiter thought, Me? Yeah…I'll be up there soon, mother. We'll it sugar cookies and giggle about stupid stuff, just like we used to. Tears stung her eyes. She threw a glance at Mars who was now glowing with a magnificent red aura. Jupiter stood there, ready. "Well!?" She shouted, spiting at Anetka's feet. "What are you waiting for!?"
"I'm waiting for you to drop down to your knees and beg for mercy. And to plead insanity for that one moment that you were crazed enough to slash my arm. I'm waiting for you to surrender to me and say that your life lies within my hands." Anetka stated, grimacing.
"Surrender? Mercy?" Jupiter asked. She laughed. It was a cold, bitter laugh. " I would never bow to you…or beg for your mercy. You are a ruthless, heartless hag. I would take no favors, nor ask for anything from you."
"Have it your way." Anetka drew her arrow and fired. It flew through Jupiter's chest, quickly and willing fully. Makoto exhaled, and fell to the ground. A smile was planted upon her face. The sign of Jupiter glowed brightly for a brief moment, and then flew through the sky, wondering aimlessly about. It had done the same before with the rest of the scouts, but no one had noticed.
"One more left." Anetka stated dryly. She turned around, and her eyes widened at the sight that stood before her. The little twerp had been gathering energy all this time, without her even knowing it. She sighed. It would be easy if she could fire with the scout in this state. She bent down and picked up her tipped arrow. " It's over mother, we finally did it. We have carried out your revenge. This is for you, too, dear brother." She placed the arrow in its rightful spot and let go.
It flew straight at Mars. Nothing was there to interfere it, no one was there to take it this time. Her eyes did not open; they stayed closed. The arrow drew even closer to Mars. It finally touched the tip of her skin, and at that, her eyes opened. Mars grabbed the arrow with her hand and twirled it, looking up at the stupefied Anetka.
"How…I…how…did you…do that?" Anetka ask, her jaw practically on the floor.
Mars grimaced. "Ancient Chinese Secret." She gathered everything she had and threw, yes threw, the arrow straight at Anetka.
Still stunned, and not sure how to act upon this, Anetka had no time to move. The arrow flew into her heart, but did not come out the other end. Anetka fell to her knees, gasping for breath. She couldn't die, she couldn't, she had to kill each … and every last one of them…she couldn't just die.
Exhausted, Mars fell to the ground, the aura fading. She did it. Anetka would die. Anetka would die and everything would be okay. She could no longer go on any killing sprees. All the scouts were dead, but that wouldn't have stopped her. She would have killed the whole planet if she had her ways about it. Her eyes fluttered close and she drifted off to sleep.
Anetka stood up, blood still leaking out of her. She grabbed Bishonen's sword and stabbed it into Rei. "DIE!" she shouted. "For…" She stopped, coughing up blood. "For…everything…you've…you've done. DIE!" She took out the sword, and threw it across the room. Anetka fell on top of Rei's body. All was done.

Epilogue




People passed down the usual streets of Tokyo. Things were peaceful and calm. Mothers were shopping with their children, fathers sat at home watching the television, and teenager girls stared at the teenage boys who were playing the sports.
There was one unusual thing. Eight deaths had been recorded in the small Tokyo suburban town. It wasn't likely at all. Seven of the bodies were found at one woman's house. She was charged for murder, but there was no evidence to back the theory up, so she was let go.
In the local high school, all the students had graduated. Five of them didn't, only because they had passed on. The graduation was very exciting. Parties were thrown all through out town, and newspaper articles were published everywhere.
The ever so legendary Sailor Senshi had disappeared. Where to? No one knew. But some how, new super heroes had shown up. They had flashier uniforms then the senshi, same design, of course, but they were different some how. Who were they and what relation did they have to the former defenders of justice? I guess time will reveal all.

*** The End ***


^WOW!! WOW!! WOW!! I actually finished. I finished!! WOOOOOHOOOOOO! Okay, I'm done now; forgive me. So----, what did you all think of it!? Good, bad, no comment? Please leave reviews; I'd love to know what you all thought.
As you can see, I left room for a sequel fic! I have no clue when that will be coming out. I have a lot of ideas for a couple new ones. Hey! Maybe I can work one two at once? Heh, yeah right. Well, I hope you all enjoyed "Graduation Day."
Another footnote. One of those, if I put it in ( ) I might ruin the special moment
