A Twisted Engagement

The impact of the blast hit Universe head on, she was loosing, she knew that. "NEVER!" she croaked out. "LIGHTNING SWORD SLASH!!!!!!!!"
Lyra dodged the attack but not by much. "Is THAT the best you have?"
"No, you don't want to see the BEST that I have."
"Try me."
"If it means killing you even if I have to kill myself, then so be it." said Universe calling upon the Universe Crystal.
"NO UNIVERSE DON'T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" yelled a voice coming from the shadows.
"Who's there?!?!" Lyra bellowed out into the darkness.
"It is I, Universe Knight."
"And me, Sailor Moon and the rest of the Sailor Senshi."
"I thought I told you that this was to be a fight between us only, no interference!" yelled Lyra to Universe.
"I didn't bring them. What are you guys doing here, I thought I told you not to stop me, that this was fight between me and Lyra."
"We care about you Joanna. You're our friend," said Uranus.
"And friends stick together." said Mars.
"Together we can beat this evil," said Jupiter.
"Together we are unbeatable, but alone we are nothing." said Pluto.
"It is our friendship that makes us so powerful, it is the tie that binds all of our souls together." said Neptune.
"I need you all of you, I realize that now, I was a fool to think that I could ever beat her without you, but the only reason I did it was so you guys were safe. I didn't want any of you hurt." said Universe.
"Awww that's so sweet, but if I remember correctly Universe and I were in the middle of a battle before we were so rudely interrupted.," said Lyra. With that she sent a wave of black energy straight at the kneeling Universe.
The others looked on in horror as the blast moved towards a stricken Universe. It seemed as if it was all in slow motion, but at the same time the moments seemed to go by faster than anything they had ever experienced. They could do nothing.
Joanna watched the blast head straight for her; her life began to flash before her eyes, she closed her eyes and waited for the inevitable to come, but it never came, she opened her eyes and watched as Damion fall in front of her, bloody, and lifeless.
Mamoru was running over to Damion in an instant.
Joanna sat there holding him, he had saved her, he had given his life so that she could live. She felt for his pulse, there was still one there but it was growing weaker by the moment. She saw his eyes flutter open.
"Joanna, you're still alive." he said slowly.
"Yes, I am, but why did you have to go and do such a stupid thing like that?"
"Because I love you, and if I could I do it all over again. Joanna I knew from the day that I met you on the Moon that I would die for you, promise me that once I am gone that you will not let my death affect your life, promise me that you will live on, get married, have kids, and become the queen that I know one day you will become. Promise me and I can die a happy man."
"I promise Damion."
"I can feel my life growing weaker by the moment, I will wait for you, I will wait until the day that we can be together for all eternity."
Joanna felt as his spirit left his body and his body slumped in her arms. She hugged his body close and closed her eyes and screamed up into the heaven's as tears poured down her face.
Everyone was speechless, they could not move, even Lyra was compelled to stay where she was and watch.
Darien reached Joanna and knelt beside her and looked down at Damion's body. "Say it isn't so. No Damion you can't be dead, just when I find out that.... No this can't be happening, not again!" he was crying like the little boy twenty some odd years ago had been doing when he was told that his parents had died, the layers peeled back and a sensitive soul was revealed, a soul that had been hurt and ripped apart time and again. "Not when I just find out that you're my brother!"
Everyone gasped as the words came out of Mamoru's mouth, everyone that is except for Pluto, who had known long before then.
Joanna embraced Mamoru as he cried over Damion's dead body, just as she had been doing a minute ago. She then stood up, her uniform covered in Damion's blood, and looked Lyra straight in the eyes, in a voice barely above a whisper, but yet so full of conviction and seething hatred that it could cower even the bravest soul. "You, you did this. You ruined my life. How can you just stand there? How can you live with yourself? You will pay with your life for killing Damion. Vengeance shall be mine." Joanna began to call upon the Universe Crystal, she could feel her body change from Sailor Universe to Princess Twilla, the Universe Princess. She looked up a Lyra once more, who was now completely terrified, the Universe Crystal fully charged.
Lyra not knowing what else to do sent an energy blast at her.
"COSMIC UNIVERSE POWER!!!!!!!!" The blast from the crystal reflected the blast from Lyra but it was a loosing battle, Twilla just didn't have the energy left inside of her. She called out mentally for help. "Serenity, Neptune, Jupiter, Uranus, all of you I need your help, only with your help can I hope to defeat her."
"We're coming Twilla hang in there." was the reply that Twilla got.
"I'm here Twilla, let's take this bitch down." said Princess Serenity. "COSMIC MOON POWER!!!!!!!!!!"
Twilla just nodded and focused her energy on the crystal that she was holding in front of her.
"NEPTUNE CRYSTAL POWER!!! URANUS CRYSTAL POWER!!! PLUTO CRYSTAL POWER!!! SATURN CYRSTALPOWER!!! JUPITER CRYSTAL POWER!!! VENUS CRYSTAL POWER!!! MARS CRYSTAL POWER!!! MERCURY CRYSTAL POWER!!! HEALER STARPOWER!!! MAKER STAR POWER!!! FIGHTER STAR POWER!!!"
"COSMIC POWER UNITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" yelled Joanna, and Serenity.
"NO!!!!!!!!!! YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME!!!!!!!! NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" yelled Lyra as she was destroyed by a wave of power, healing and love.
