'Remember me when I'm gone...I'll watch from above, and none
of you will never again be hurt...never again...' the words echoed through
each Senshi, Guard and General's mind.
Sailor Venus dropped to her knees and sobbed into the ground.
Jupiter clenched her fists, eyes closed, tears running down her face. Mercury
was typing furiously on her computer, trying to find a way to bring her back,
but it was pointless because tears were blurring her vision. Mars was pounding
her fist against the wall as she cried, mumbling under her breath, "Baka
Odango Atama...baka Odango Atama..." Tuxedo Kamen stood there,
looking at Sailormoon's fallen body in horror. Sailor Uranus was holding a
weeping Sailor Neptune while crying herself. Sailor Saturn ran to Onyx's
waiting embrace and sobbed into his chest. Sailor Pluto stood watching the
Senshi and the fallen body of Sailormoon, wondering how she couldn't tell
this was going to happen.
Kunzite was enraged. Tears dropped down his face as he
punched the wall. Jadeite was on his knees, staring at Sailormoon's body
with tears coursing down his face. Nephrite stood, his hands trembling, tears
threatening to fall. Zoisite stared in disbelief at the sight before him.
Onyx was holding Sailor Saturn as if she was his last chance. Flint
was trying to get through the quickly deteriorating wall of Sailormoon's,
trying in vain to get to her body in time to save her. Black Pearl was muttering
curses aimed for Tryphaena as tears stained his cheeks. Amethyst stood,
shocked to the core.
Then slowly, rage coursed through each of the Senshi's veins.
(AN: FYI, this includes Tuxedo Kamen and Sailor Phoenix, but not the
Guards or Generals.) A sense of warmth and security overwhelmed their
senses. The Guards and Generals watched them, perplexed and
bewildered. A strong wind came out of nowhere and dried the Senshi's
tears. Venus stood up. Beside her stood each of the scouts; Mercury,
Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Saturn, Neptune, Pluto, Tuxedo Kamen, and Phoenix.
Wind blew their hair back. With white rage, they all charged at Tryphaena,
who was still standing there shocked the whole time.
Tryphaena snapped out of her reverie and sneered. "I told you she
was no match for me." The comment just added fuel to their enragement.
Without hesitation, Sailor Jupiter yelled, "JUPITER LIGHTNING
MAXIMUM DEATH STRIKE!"
A javelin sized bolt of lightning appeared in Jupiter's gloved right
hand. Without delay, she launched the stroke of lightning for Tryphaena's
heart. Unfortunately, Tryphaena moved to dodge it, so it did not get her heart,
but it punctured her shoulder 'quite nicely'. Tryphaena stumbled. "How dare you?"
With that, she threw a bolt of black energy at Jupiter, which she dodged by
teleporting herself behind Tryphaena, and kicked hard at her spine. A yell of pain
overtook Tryphaena. She stood up in rage, and covered the hole in her shoulder
with her right hand before throwing another bolt of energy of Jupiter, catching her,
this time, on the ankle.
Mars saw Jupiter penetrate Tryphaena's shoulder and thought,
'That's it. Revenge for the stupid Odango Atama. DAMMIT WHY DIDN'T
YOU FIGHT BACK???' She floated up in the air above the whole state of
chaos. With rage and confusion in her heart, Mars could only think of one thing,
her maximum attack. 'Maximum attack? Maximum attack? Who the hell has
time to think of a goddamn maximum attack?' She yelled the first words that
came to her mind, "MARS MAXIMUM LAVA FLARE!"
Lava gushed out from Mars' outstretched palms. The heat was
unbearable, even for Mars, who usually took comfort in the heat of
her fire. The lava spiralled from her hands and continued downward
to Tryphaena's position. Tryphaena could sense the heat and looked up
right before she was scorched. When the smoke and the ring of fire
subsided, a burnt (AN: Burnt to a crisp...hehehe.) Tryphaena was on
her knees. But the Senshi weren't finished.
Sailor Uranus was in a blind rage after Sailormoon's death.
She was not blind through her eyes, but through her heart and her mind.
Nothing made sense anymore. Nothing. Then, Sailormoon's words
came back to her, 'I'll watch from above...' and gave her hope.
Hope that, even with Odango dead, there would be a tomorrow.
(AN: Corny, but what the hey.) "URANUS GALE MAXIMUM
PENTRATION!"
A huge blast of wind came out of nowhere, and Uranus was
standing in the middle of it. It surrounded her like a tornado and kept
increasing in speed. Gradually, streams of wind shot out of the tornado,
all being controlled mentally by Uranus. The streams shot at Tryphaena
and knocked her out against the wall.
She was severely damaged, but not yet unconscious. Slowly, she
stood up, stumbling only once, and sneered, "You'll have to do better
than that." With her eyes closed, Tryphaena formed another black
energy bomb and threw it at Mars and Uranus, catching Mars on the side
of her face.
Jadeite could do nothing but watch in rage, for Phoenix had
put up a shield similar to Sailormoon's to keep the 'men' out of the fight.
Mars stayed floating in the air, but the pain was horrible.
Uranus was on the ground, and when the bomb hit her, she flew across the
room. With a strong force in her own mind, she forced herself against the
blow and flew opposite it.
Mercury thought, 'To hell with logic! Sailormoon's dead, what's
the logic in that?' Before she went insane, memories flew through her head.
Usagi's cheerful voice bubbled in her ear: "Wow, Ami-chan! There really
isn't anything you can't do, is there? You're a genius!" With that, she
floated in front of Tryphaena's crumpled, but not unconscious body, and yelled,
"MERCURY ICE MAXIMUM FREEZE!"
Tryphaena was caught in a storm of ice water. The water crystallised,
and Tryphaena was frozen on spot.
Venus wasted no time. She didn't need to think or to contemplate.
Without hesitation, she yelled, "VENUS MAXIMUM LOVE MUTILATION!"
A coil of hearts surrounded her arm. When she threw out her arm,
the coil was flung at Tryphaena. The hearts that made contact with her left
deep burnt imprints. "Hmph, senshi of love. What are you going to do,
kiss me to death? I've had enough of this." Without warning, Tryphaena
slammed a black energy disc at Venus' stomach. Thinking quickly, Sailor
Venus created a shield with her mind and retaliated the blow to Tryphaena,
knocking her down.
Neptune lashed out, not thinking. For once in her life, she did *not*
feel calm. "NEPTUNE FLUVIAL MAXIMUM CLEANSE!"
Streams of water fired out of her hands and hit Tryphaena. It
seemed like her body was absorbing the water. Tryphaena collapsed
on her knees and, five seconds later, water shot out of her body in all
directions. She lay wet and crumpled in a corner.
Pluto stood there in shock. She was still thinking 'Why didn't I
know about this? I should've known! Dammit, it's my fault!' She kept
thinking these thoughts until Sailor Phoenix snapped her out of her reverie.
"What are you waiting for? Attack already!"
'Hai, I have to avenge Serenity's death. I *have* to attack.'
The next words out of her mouth were, "PLUTO TIME
THREADS MAXIMUM CYCLE!"
Thin dark purple-pink threads shot out of each of her fingers
and wrapped around various body parts of Tryphaena. Pluto released
the threads from her fingers, and they swathed Tryphaena's whole body.
Her body grew limp and fell on the ground with a dull thump.
Tuxedo Kamen stood there, watching the battle. His thoughts
were only of his Usako. His sweet Usako. His *dead* Usako. Fury
slowly crept into his heart. Without thought, he roared, "FOR USAKO!
EARTH MAXIMUM REVOLUTION QUAKE!"
The ground around Tryphaena's body started turning, growing
steadily in speed. Clumps of land started to rise from the circling disk and they
turned in towards Tryphaena. She was thrown from the circle and landed thirty
feet away with pieces of hard earth impaled in her body.
Sailor Saturn walked over to Tryphaena's fallen body, relentless, when
she heard a laugh. "You think I'm that easily defeated?" And Tryphaena
grabbed her leg.
"No, that's why I'm ready, bitch," Saturn smirked disdainfully.
She snatched Tryphaena's arm and stepped on it with her free leg.
A sickening crack could be heard through the room. "SATURN
DEATH STAR MAXIMUM TERMINATION!"
A black-purple star surfaced on each of Saturn's palms
and started spinning, and flew towards Tryphaena. Tryphaena
grabbed one with her free hand, and it geared into her hand.
Screaming in pain, she flung it across the room, and it disappeared
into nothingness. The other star ground into her back. Grimacing, she
yanked it out with her weak hand and threw a black energy ball at it.
"I don't think so, little girl. Enough of these games."
Tryphaena struggled to stand up and as she prepared a
huge blast to kill both herself and the Senshi, Phoenix stepped up.
"You're right, Tryphaena. Enough of these games."
"What the hell? Oh, no I'm not letting you stop me with
your goddamn mind games." Tryphaena threw a small blast of energy
at Phoenix, but she dodged it easily, jumping above it.
"Oh, we'll see about that." Phoenix yelled, "PHOENIX
MAXIMUM CELESTIAL MAIM!"
A bright halo surfaced and hovered over Phoenix's head.
She grabbed it and prepared to throw it, not unlike what Sailormoon used to
do with her tiara. But instead of hitting Tryphaena, it stopped abruptly in front
of her face and the ring stood. It stretched in size and stopped when it was
slightly larger than Tryphaena. It encapsulated around Tryphaena and locked her in.
She slammed her fists against the invisible wall and the ring tightened.
The ring shone brightly and kept shrinking in size, slowly crushing Tryphaena.
One last evil screech was heard before both Tryphaena and the ring disappeared.
Sailor Phoenix dropped to the ground from exhaustion, both
physical and emotional stress. "Let's go."
Slowly, she stood up and motioned for the others to follow her
as she opened a portal back to their apartment. She blinked as the light
blinded her, for it was a distinct change from the darkness in Tryphaena's lair.
Without a word, one by one, they returned to their rooms to
mourn for Usagi. Mamoru was the last one out. He was shocked. All he had done
to try and avoid this. Everything he had gone through to save her, listening
to the dreams, it had all gone to waste. This was one time, where a 'dream come
true' was the three most horrendous words he had ever heard in his life.
Tsukino Usagi was dead.
