Sailor Moon ST
Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon:
Shadow Tale
Setting: If this were part of the anime or manga, it would almost take the place of SailorStars, if that makes any sense. o.0 Its in Tokyo, and all the senshi are 16-17. Thats about all you need to know. ^^
The sun had long set over Tokyo. All lay snug in their beds. At the top of Tokyo tower, a demon loomed. The shadow demon.
"My Queen," he whispered. "I shall find you. Then we will get rid of the Sailor Senshi, and this world will be ours."
"You shall find me with great ease. I am hidden among them and I walk with them, but few know my true identity," came a voice from the darkness. "Go forth, Shadow, my demon, my minion, find me and bring me to life!"
"Yes, my Queen, all shall be done and in the swiftest possible time," said Shadow. He cackled up at the crescent moon. "Sailor Moon, if you hear me, beware! For it is I who shall find you and I who shall eliminate you!"
Chapter One
Shadow Games
"Mother! How could you not wake me up!!" cried Usagi, running out the door. "Erg.....I don't even have a lunch!" She ran down the streets of Tokyo, her bag flying out behind her.
Makoto had just stepped out of her door when Usagi whipped by. "Hey! Wait up!"
"Not time! Not time! Gotta run! You should too! If I'm late, and you are standing there, that makes you late, too!" cried Usagi. Makoto glanced at her watch.
"For once you're right Usagi, lets go!" They both ran as fast as they could and managed to arrive at school just as the bell rang.
"See ya, Makoto!" said Usagi upon parting with her friend. They had different classes.
"Okay every one, pencils out!" said the teacher as Usagi walked in. "Pop-quiz!"
"Oh god! Help me Ami!" cried Usagi, shaking her friends shoulder.
"Its just simple math. Dividing, subtracting, adding, and multiplying integers and adding and subtracting matrices. Then just solve the algebraic equations. After than it is just percentages! Come on, Usagi, you know this! This is practically 6th grade math!" said Ami.
"Yeah, yeah, itetrices and matergers! I got it! I am all set!" said Usagi and started to work furiously. Ami laughed softly.
Five minutes later Usagi cheered because she had gotten through the first problem and Ami smiled softly, because she was done. She walked up and handed her test to the teacher.
"Ami, Ami!" whispered Usagi, poking Ami with her pencil.
"Shush! I'm trying to study!"
"And I am trying to ask you for help!"
"This is a test, I can't give help! You have to help yourself, Usagi!"
"Ami, Usagi, quit the chatter or else I will give you both zeroes!"
"Sorry, sensei," they said in unison.
A half-an-hour later Usagi finished her test. She had worked really hard and hoped to get good grade. (Usagi? Good grade? Maybe....never....)
A tall boy then strolled into the room. He had dark hair and eyes and wore dark clothes. His skin was a tan shade.
"Omigod, Ami, major hunk alert!" cried Usagi. Ami looked up. Even she had to admit that this was a major-er-hunk, as Usagi put it. So did half the class-the female half.
"Hello, my name's Shounino Kumori-(Child of the Shadows)-I just got transferred here. Sorry I'm late, there was a lot of paper work to fill out at the office," he grinned, one of those heart stopping grins. Even the teacher looked a little taken back by this boys good-no, make that great-looks.
"Welcome!" said the teacher. "We were just taking a quiz. Here's yours. Just pick a seat." His eyes immediately rested on Ami, who blushed. He took a seat behind her.
Five minutes later Kumori had finished the test. Ami was astounded. Could someone's intelligence actually equal hers? That was all she wanted was some one to talk to, some one to be able to explain her complex theories with. She sighed dreamily.
Most of the girls in that class missed the rest of the lessons that day, do to the handsome new student. Ami was the only one who concentrated at all, which showed off her intelligence even more than usual-and made the debonair Kumori notice her, too.
At lunch Makoto, Ami, and Usagi all ate lunch together. Makoto and Ami were benevolent and shared their lunches with Usagi.
"Thanks guys!" said Usagi, her mouth stuffed with rice and sushi. Makoto had cookies for desert too! Usagi was pleased with that.
"Who's the hunk?" asked Makoto pointing to Kumori.
"Shounino Kumori," answered Ami promptly.
"He laughs just like my old boyfriend," murmured Makoto as Kumori let out a long chuckle as the girls swarmed around him. (For all of you who don't know, Makoto sees a little bit of her old boyfriend everywhere)
"And just look at him," said Usagi, slightly drooling.
"And he's so smart," said Ami. Usagi and Makoto looked at her funny.
"Yeah...." they muttered, huge anime sweat drops appearing next to their heads. They continued to stare at Kumori, and then he started to walk over.
"Omigod, he's coming over here!" exclaimed Usagi.
"Shush! Act natural!" chided Makoto.
Finally Kumori reached the girls. He looked down at them about a foot and a half or so, he was SO tall.
"Hi! I'm Mizuno Ami," said Ami, holding out her hand to shake. Kumori reached over and kissed it, causing Ami to blush furiously.
"I am Kino Makoto," said Makoto and when Kumori kissed her hand, she took it gracefully, with poise and elegance.
"I am-I am Tsu-Tsuki-" stuttered Usagi. Kumori laughed and bent over her hand and kissed it lightly. Usagi smiled and giggled slightly.
"Mizuno-san, I was wondering if you would like to cut the day short, my car's outside"-'He has a car!?' thought Usagi-"and we could go for a ride. I was planning on visiting one of the science museums. I would love for you to come and share your insight." He smiled-'What a smile!' thought Makoto-and waited patiently for the answer.
"Well...um...I have classes," said Ami.
"They'll be here when you get back! Please Mizuno-san! You have a good mind, I can tell. I have never found any one, who equals or tops my intelligence, like you do," pleaded Kumori. Ami smiled, she felt more or less the same way.
"Just this once, Shounino-san," Ami said. "Guys, could you say that I got sick and had to go home?" Makoto and Usagi nodded. Both had a look on their faces that said 'Ami? Skipping class?'
'That Ami is sooooooo lucky! Brains, looks, and now hunks!' thought Usagi a little jealously.
'I am so happy for her! To bad it isn't me, though,' thought Makoto as Ami and Kumori walked off.
"She is sooo lucky!" cried Usagi when Ami and Kumori were out of earshot.
"I know, I know!" said Makoto with a sigh as she remembered her old boyfriend. (Makoto never really got over her old boyfriend)
Later that afternoon they were all gathered at Rei's temple.
"I have got to meet this guy!" cried Minako.
"He is sooo smart and nice and handsome!" said Usagi.
"What about Mamo-chan?" taunted Rei.
"He is sooo much older than me and he is never as nice as Kumori was! He sill calls me meatball head sometimes!" cried Usagi. Unfortunately for her, Mamoru had just walked up behind her. He had a sad, and hurt look on his face, like he might cry. He turned around and rushed out of the temple.
"You won't have to worry about me anymore!" he called over his shoulder as he left.
"Mamo!" cried Usagi, but it was too late, Mamoru was gone and the damage was done. Usagi sat down and started to cry.
"Mamo-chan," she whimpered.
"I just saw Mamoru, he looked really-" began Ami as she walked in with Kumori. She saw Usagi on the ground crying.
"Ami-chan, I think that I should go now," said Kumori, looking a bit bewildered. Ami nodded.
"Bye!" she said as he walked out. Ami, Minako, Rei, and Makoto all sat around Usagi.
"What happened?" asked Ami. The others explain and Usagi sobbed harder.
"I love Mamo, I didn't mean to hurt him!" cried Usagi. The others nodded.
"We know," said Minako.
"I'm really sorry, Usagi, this is all my fault," said Rei.
"Yes it is!" said Usagi. She did the Japanese tongue thing (Pulling down the skin beneath one's eye, and sticking out one's tongue) to Rei and she did it back. After carrying on for a few moments, Usagi plastered a look of disgust on her face and walked out of the temple.
Shadow was at the top of Tokyo tower talking to with his master.
"My Queen, the time draws yet nearer," Shadow said.
"Yes, only a few more days until I am fully revived. Then all shall be well and we shall rule this planet! The humans shall be my slaves and the Senshi my personal servants. And you, you my Shadow, shall have amazing power!" laughed the Queen.
"I ask you one thing, my queen," said Shadow.
"Yes, Shadow?"
"There is a girl I ask you to spare," said Shadow.
"You are not growing fond of these humans, are you, my demon?"
"Never! She has brains and wit, and she should be a good asset to us!" The evil queen smiled at Shadow's words.
"We do need people for our side. We must built up an army," she murmured and thought it over. "I will do you this favor and spare her mercy, for you have served me well. Write her name on the wall."
She motioned to a wall covered in blo-red ink. These were the lives she had spared, souls she had captured, spirits forever hers.
Shadow pricked the end of his finger with his sword and wrote on the wall, "Mizuno, Ami." The letters flashed bright blue for a moment and then turned to a dull blood color.
"Do you love this girl?" asked the queen. Shadow made no move to answer. "Answer me now and tell me the truth, I can see through the minds of men and into their hearts, I shall know a fib if one be told!"
Shadow bowed his head in shame. "Yes, my master," he whispered.
"Yes what?"
"I love her."
"Why me?" called Mamoru to the moon. He sat on the roof of his apartment building, thinking of Usagi. "I loved her, she was the one!" A tear slid down his cheek. "Her smile, her laugh, her mind, her soft words." He shook his head. "I vow to find this Kumori and make him suffer! I will not let him take my love and with her my child!"
"Why won't he pick up?" cried Usagi. She had been calling Mamoru all night, but no one picked up. She tried feebly one last time.
"Hi, this is Mamoru," came a voice.
"Mamo?" cried Usagi.
"I'm not home right now, but I'll be sure to get back to you as soon as possible. Just leave your name and number. Bye!"
"The answering machine. Again," cried Usagi.
"Mama, what's wrong?" asked Chibiusa, walking in.
"Nothing, Usa. Now isn't it past your bedtime?"
"Yes," she muttered angrily and walked up to bed.
'I love him,' thought Ami as she gazed at the stars through her telescope, 'I really love him. He is the one. If only he knew how I felt. I long to hear his words, feel his touch, see his face, smell his cologne, let his name roll off my tongue.'
"Kumori! Kumori!" Ami whispered to the stars.
"God, I feel so bad, its my fault!!" said Rei. "Why, oh why, did I mention Mamo? Why?"
"Don't feel bad," said Makoto. She, Rei, and Minako were having a three way phone conversation. Minako was at Makoto's.
"He'll come around and realize that she is the one person in the world who understands him and should be with him," said Minako.
"Maybe, but I still feel really bad. Look, I gotta go. I am going to kill those ravens if they don't shut up! Bye!"
"Later."
"See ya."
"Setsuna, something is wrong, do you feel it?" asked Haruka.
"Yes. I know what part of it is. I should have never helped Chibiusa come here. She has overstayed. She must go back to her mother," said Setsuna. Michiru walked into the house that the outer Senshi shared.
"Hi hun," she said, walking to Haruka. Haruka gave Michiru a kiss.
"How'd the concert go?" asked Setsuna.
"It was lovely! When I play, I feel so alive!" gushed Michiru. Haruka nodded knowingly.
"Thats how I feel when I race-alive," said Haruka.
"I know exactly what you mean," said Setsuna.
"What's wrong?" asked Michiru seeing solemn looks on Haruka and Setsuna's faces.
"Chibiusa has stayed too long," said Setsuna.
"A shadow is coming," said Haruka abruptly. Michiru nodded.
"I felt it too," said Michiru.
"Chibiusa is the future princess, we've got to get her back to Crystal Tokyo," said Setsuna.
"Something bad is going to happen and Chibi-chan needs to get out of here, I don't know why, but I feel it," said Haruka. The others nodded and they all thought for a moment. Michiru sighed.
"Lets get going."
"You have found love?" said the Queen. Shadow nodded shamefully. "It is too bad that it is with an earthling, but if you have found love I am happy for you."
"What?!" exclaimed Shadow.
"I too once had love, with my darling Murk. There was also Endymion, earth prince, long ago. Back then I went by a different name, I wasn't Queen Shade, I was know as Serenity, Princess Serenity."
Hotaru walked behind the other outer Senshi, hoping not to be seen. She wasn't going to let them take Usa, she was her only friend. The outer Senshi cared for her, but that was what they were, her caretakers. Usa was a friend and she wasn't about to let them take that away from her.
"Some one's following us," said Haruka.
"You are just being paranoid!" said Michiru.
"I really hear something!" exclaimed Haruka.
"We can transform, just to be safe," said Setsuna.
"Uranus Crystal Power!"
"Neptune Crystal Power!"
"Pluto Crystal Power!"
"Make UP!"
And, from the shadows, came the soft voice of Hotaru, "Saturn Crystal Power, Make UP!"
"You, in the shadows, come out!" said Haruka.
"I am Sailor Saturn, protected by the silent star, I will not let you take my friend!" she said. "The shadow draws yet nearer and she has to be here!"
"I am Sailor Uranus, protected by the heavenly star, I will not let you stop us!" said Uranus, not to be out done.
"Saturn, what we are doing is for Chibiusa's own good," said Neptune.
"I need her! She is my strength! My only friend!" cried Saturn.
"We are all your friends!" said Neptune.
"Pluto isn't, look, she left!" said Saturn savagely. Neptune and Uranus turned to see Pluto running away. Saturn started after her.
"Run, Pluto! Run!" yelled Neptune and Uranus.
"We'll hold off Saturn!" they ran behind the girl and grabbed her shoulders. Saturn turned around and blasted Neptune into a tree with her Silence Glaive. Neptune crumpled to the ground.
"You're gonna pay for that!" said Uranus. Saturn ran off after Pluto. Uranus soon caught up with her. Uranus took her sword and knocked the Glaive out of Saturn's hands. She picked it up and threw it into the side of a building, where it stuck.
"Uranus, I vow to destroy you," said Saturn.
"Likewise, Saturn," said Uranus and dashed off, leaving Saturn jumping up into the air, trying to reach her Glaive.
"Chibiusa, we're going on a little trip," said Pluto, rousing the small girl from her sleep. Usagi slept beside her, in the same bed. (They do that in the anime, so I assume they do it here in my lovely little fanfic)
"But I wanna stay with Mama," mumbled the girl sleepily.
"You will see your mother, your true mother, soon, Usa-chan, if you will just come with me," said Pluto.
"I'll come with you, but I wanna see mama," said Chibiusa.
"Chibiusa, what's wrong?" mumbled Usagi still half asleep. "Go back to sleep, Mamo might take us out. Mmmm...Mamo, you look so handsome in that suit..."
"Okay, Mama," said Chibiusa and she lay her head down on her pillow and fell to sleep. Pluto sighed and picked the girl up. She walked towards the door.
"Pluto, bring Chibiusa back," said Usagi, now awake.
"Usagi, I'm afraid I can't do that," said Pluto.
"Why not?" said Usagi, getting out of bed.
"For the future, I must not. A shadow draws nearer and Chibiusa must be saved. She is the future Queen, and she must NOT die here in the past," said Pluto.
"I understand, but she'll be leaving so many friends behind. Can you give her just one more night so tomorrow she can say good bye?" asked Usagi. Pluto shook her head.
"It is better this way, trust me. We need to get her out swiftly and silently, before the shadow and Saturn get here," said Pluto.
"What about Saturn?" asked Usagi worriedly.
"I never truly trusted her, we should have killed her when we had the chance," said Pluto.
"What!?" exclaimed Usagi.
"She attacked us, she does not want Chibiusa to leave," said Pluto.
"She must be possessed!" said Usagi. "Hotaru is a kind and loving girl!"
"She was the Sovereign of Silence and she is Sailor Saturn. She is NOT to be trusted!" said Pluto.
"Hotaru is my friend!" said Chibiusa.
"Of course she is, dear," said Usagi.
"We must leave, now," said Pluto. Usagi nodded. She bent over Chibiusa and kissed her softly.
"Good by my darling Chibiusa, my little rabbit," said Usagi, tears flowing freely. Chibiusa mumbled something along the lines of "Good-bye" but she was too asleep to be heard clearly. Pluto walked down the stairs with Chibiusa.
Usagi sat on her bed and wept. Less than five minutes later Uranus came up to Usagi's room looking for Pluto. She saw Usagi crying, of course.
"Come on, muffin-head, cheer up," said Uranus teasingly. Usagi managed a smile. "You'll be seeing Chibiusa again in no time, I guarantee it! She is your daughter, after all, and you have your whole future ahead of you."
"Thanks, Uranus," said Usagi with a smile.
"No pr-" began Uranus. She was interrupted by a blood-curdling scream. "Neptune! Usagi, transform!"
Uranus ran out of Usagi's house like the wind. Mean while, Usagi transformed. "Moon Eternal Make UP!" She rushed down the stairs and out onto the street.
There she saw a horrible sight. The Silence Glaive was stuck strait through Michiru's leg pinning her to a building, Uranus had her sword tip to Saturn's throat, and Setsuna and Chibiusa lay on the ground some hundred feet up the road, motionless.
"Stop!" she shouted. Uranus dropped her sword in surprise and Saturn laughed.
"Nice try moon baka!" laughed Saturn. She took the Glaive out of Neptune's leg and disappeared.
"Uranus, detransform!" said Uranus.
"Moon detransform!" said Eternal Sailor Moon.
"I'll call an ambulance!" said Haruka running to a near-by telephone booth. Usagi nodded. She ran to Michiru first, her injuries seemed to be the worst.
"Are you okay?" asked Usagi.
"Where is Haru-chan? Find Haruka," whispered Michiru. Haruka walked up behind Usagi.
"Michiru, I am here and the ambulance will be here soon, have no fear," said Haruka. Usagi moved out of the way and Haruka knelt beside Michiru. She held Michiru's hand and spoke softly to her. Usagi moved to Setsuna and Chibiusa.
"Setsuna? Chibiusa?" asked Usagi. Setsuna opened her eyes slightly. Tears clouded over her lovely eyes.
"She threatened to destroy the whole world, I had to stop her. I stopped time and took the Glaive. I went to throw it at her-" Setsuna coughed up blood "-but she moved out of the way as time unstopped and it hit Michiru. Then a shadow passed over me and Usa and me are here. Does she still live? Usa?" asked Setsuna. Usagi shook her head.
"I think that she has left us," she cried. She sobbed until the ambulance and the paramedics came. She rushed up to one.
"Please! Tell me, are they all alive?" she begged.
"Yes, but those two-" he pointed to Setsuna and Chibiusa "-just barely. What happened here?" Usagi just shook her head.
"Why did you let this happen, Usagi?" asked Mamoru angrily. He was at the hospital waiting to see how Usa was doing and he still had hard feelings about that afternoon.
"I didn't mean too," said Usagi defensively. She wiped away the tears that had soaked her face. "Mamo-Mamo I love you!" It was too late for him to hear, he was already beyond saving.

'I love him,' thought Ami as she gazed at the stars through her telescope, 'I really love him. He is the one. If only he knew how I felt. I long to hear his words, feel his touch, see his face, smell his cologne, let his name roll off my tongue.'
"Kumori! Kumori!" Ami whispered to the stars.
"God, I feel so bad, its my fault!!" said Rei. "Why, oh why, did I mention Mamo? Why?"
"Don't feel bad," said Makoto. She, Rei, and Minako were having a three way phone conversation. Minako was at Makoto's.
"He'll come around and realize that she is the one person in the world who understands him and should be with him," said Minako.
"Maybe, but I still feel really bad. Look, I gotta go. I am going to kill those ravens if they don't shut up! Bye!"
"Later."
"See ya."
"Setsuna, something is wrong, do you feel it?" asked Haruka.
"Yes. I know what part of it is. I should have never helped Chibiusa come here. She has overstayed. She must go back to her mother," said Setsuna. Michiru walked into the house that the outer Senshi shared.
"Hi hun," she said, walking to Haruka. Haruka gave Michiru a kiss.
"How'd the concert go?" asked Setsuna.
"It was lovely! When I play, I feel so alive!" gushed Michiru. Haruka nodded knowingly.
"Thats how I feel when I race-alive," said Haruka.
"I know exactly what you mean," said Setsuna.
"What's wrong?" asked Michiru seeing solemn looks on Haruka and Setsuna's faces.
"Chibiusa has stayed too long," said Setsuna.
"A shadow is coming," said Haruka abruptly. Michiru nodded.
"I felt it too," said Michiru.
"Chibiusa is the future princess, we've got to get her back to Crystal Tokyo," said Setsuna.
"Something bad is going to happen and Chibi-chan needs to get out of here, I don't know why, but I feel it," said Haruka. The others nodded and they all thought for a moment. Michiru sighed.
"Lets get going."
"You have found love?" said the Queen. Shadow nodded shamefully. "It is too bad that it is with an earthling, but if you have found love I am happy for you."
"What?!" exclaimed Shadow.
"I too once had love, with my darling Murk. There was also Endymion, earth prince, long ago. Back then I went by a different name, I wasn't Queen Shade, I was know as Serenity, Princess Serenity."
Hotaru walked behind the other outer Senshi, hoping not to be seen. She wasn't going to let them take Usa, she was her only friend. The outer Senshi cared for her, but that was what they were, her caretakers. Usa was a friend and she wasn't about to let them take that away from her.
"Some one's following us," said Haruka.
"You are just being paranoid!" said Michiru.
"I really hear something!" exclaimed Haruka.
"We can transform, just to be safe," said Setsuna.
"Uranus Crystal Power!"
"Neptune Crystal Power!"
"Pluto Crystal Power!"
"Make UP!"
And, from the shadows, came the soft voice of Hotaru, "Saturn Crystal Power, Make UP!"
"You, in the shadows, come out!" said Haruka.
"I am Sailor Saturn, protected by the silent star, I will not let you take my friend!" she said. "The shadow draws yet nearer and she has to be here!"
"I am Sailor Uranus, protected by the heavenly star, I will not let you stop us!" said Uranus, not to be out done.
"Saturn, what we are doing is for Chibiusa's own good," said Neptune.
"I need her! She is my strength! My only friend!" cried Saturn.
"We are all your friends!" said Neptune.
"Pluto isn't, look, she left!" said Saturn savagely. Neptune and Uranus turned to see Pluto running away. Saturn started after her.
"Run, Pluto! Run!" yelled Neptune and Uranus.
"We'll hold off Saturn!" they ran behind the girl and grabbed her shoulders. Saturn turned around and blasted Neptune into a tree with her Silence Glaive. Neptune crumpled to the ground.
"You're gonna pay for that!" said Uranus. Saturn ran off after Pluto. Uranus soon caught up with her. Uranus took her sword and knocked the Glaive out of Saturn's hands. She picked it up and threw it into the side of a building, where it stuck.
"Uranus, I vow to destroy you," said Saturn.
"Likewise, Saturn," said Uranus and dashed off, leaving Saturn jumping up into the air, trying to reach her Glaive.
"Chibiusa, we're going on a little trip," said Pluto, rousing the small girl from her sleep. Usagi slept beside her, in the same bed. (They do that in the anime, so I assume they do it here in my lovely little fanfic)
"But I wanna stay with Mama," mumbled the girl sleepily.
"You will see your mother, your true mother, soon, Usa-chan, if you will just come with me," said Pluto.
"I'll come with you, but I wanna see mama," said Chibiusa.
"Chibiusa, what's wrong?" mumbled Usagi still half asleep. "Go back to sleep, Mamo might take us out. Mmmm...Mamo, you look so handsome in that suit..."
"Okay, Mama," said Chibiusa and she lay her head down on her pillow and fell to sleep. Pluto sighed and picked the girl up. She walked towards the door.
"Pluto, bring Chibiusa back," said Usagi, now awake.
"Usagi, I'm afraid I can't do that," said Pluto.
"Why not?" said Usagi, getting out of bed.
"For the future, I must not. A shadow draws nearer and Chibiusa must be saved. She is the future Queen, and she must NOT die here in the past," said Pluto.
"I understand, but she'll be leaving so many friends behind. Can you give her just one more night so tomorrow she can say good bye?" asked Usagi. Pluto shook her head.
"It is better this way, trust me. We need to get her out swiftly and silently, before the shadow and Saturn get here," said Pluto.
"What about Saturn?" asked Usagi worriedly.
"I never truly trusted her, we should have killed her when we had the chance," said Pluto.
"What!?" exclaimed Usagi.
"She attacked us, she does not want Chibiusa to leave," said Pluto.
"She must be possessed!" said Usagi. "Hotaru is a kind and loving girl!"
"She was the Sovereign of Silence and she is Sailor Saturn. She is NOT to be trusted!" said Pluto.
"Hotaru is my friend!" said Chibiusa.
"Of course she is, dear," said Usagi.
"We must leave, now," said Pluto. Usagi nodded. She bent over Chibiusa and kissed her softly.
"Good by my darling Chibiusa, my little rabbit," said Usagi, tears flowing freely. Chibiusa mumbled something along the lines of "Good-bye" but she was too asleep to be heard clearly. Pluto walked down the stairs with Chibiusa.
Usagi sat on her bed and wept. Less than five minutes later Uranus came up to Usagi's room looking for Pluto. She saw Usagi crying, of course.
"Come on, muffin-head, cheer up," said Uranus teasingly. Usagi managed a smile. "You'll be seeing Chibiusa again in no time, I guarantee it! She is your daughter, after all, and you have your whole future ahead of you."
"Thanks, Uranus," said Usagi with a smile.
"No pr-" began Uranus. She was interrupted by a blood-curdling scream. "Neptune! Usagi, transform!"
Uranus ran out of Usagi's house like the wind. Mean while, Usagi transformed. "Moon Eternal Make UP!" She rushed down the stairs and out onto the street.
There she saw a horrible sight. The Silence Glaive was stuck strait through Michiru's leg pinning her to a building, Uranus had her sword tip to Saturn's throat, and Setsuna and Chibiusa lay on the ground some hundred feet up the road, motionless.
"Stop!" she shouted. Uranus dropped her sword in surprise and Saturn laughed.
"Nice try moon baka!" laughed Saturn. She took the Glaive out of Neptune's leg and disappeared.
"Uranus, detransform!" said Uranus.
"Moon detransform!" said Eternal Sailor Moon.
"I'll call an ambulance!" said Haruka running to a near-by telephone booth. Usagi nodded. She ran to Michiru first, her injuries seemed to be the worst.
"Are you okay?" asked Usagi.
"Where is Haru-chan? Find Haruka," whispered Michiru. Haruka walked up behind Usagi.
"Michiru, I am here and the ambulance will be here soon, have no fear," said Haruka. Usagi moved out of the way and Haruka knelt beside Michiru. She held Michiru's hand and spoke softly to her. Usagi moved to Setsuna and Chibiusa.
"Setsuna? Chibiusa?" asked Usagi. Setsuna opened her eyes slightly. Tears clouded over her lovely eyes.
"She threatened to destroy the whole world, I had to stop her. I stopped time and took the Glaive. I went to throw it at her-" Setsuna coughed up blood "-but she moved out of the way as time unstopped and it hit Michiru. Then a shadow passed over me and Usa and me are here. Does she still live? Usa?" asked Setsuna. Usagi shook her head.
"I think that she has left us," she cried. She sobbed until the ambulance and the paramedics came. She rushed up to one.
"Please! Tell me, are they all alive?" she begged.
"Yes, but those two-" he pointed to Setsuna and Chibiusa "-just barely. What happened here?" Usagi just shook her head.
"Why did you let this happen, Usagi?" asked Mamoru angrily. He was at the hospital waiting to see how Usa was doing and he still had hard feelings about that afternoon.
"I didn't mean too," said Usagi defensively. She wiped away the tears that had soaked her face. "Mamo-Mamo I love you!" It was too late for him to hear, he was already beyond saving.
