Attraction
Usagi knocked on the door. She heard the sound of someone in the kitchen. Then she heard laughter.
"Mamoru are you in there?" She opened the door and gasped. Mamoru was in his kitchen with his arms around another woman.
"Usagi?" He let go of Kyraka who seemed very confused. Usagi swayed and held onto the counter for support. She trembled. Mamoru came around the counter and started,
"Usagi this isn't what it seems." Usagi took a step back and hit into the door.
"Then what is it?" She whispered having trouble breathing.
"Mamoru, who is this lil girl?" Kyraka asked walking up behind Mamoru and touched his shoulder. Usagi doubled over and held her heart, her heart was racing, her breathing was labored, and the room was spinning. Usagi let out a pitiful whimper. She turned and tried to open the door. Mamoru stepped up to her, grabbed her arm and turned her around.
"Let me go!" Usagi screamed and shoved Mamoru away. He came up to her and grabbed her wrists. Usagi writhed her hands and fought with Mamoru's strong hands for freedom.
"Mamoru what's going on?" Kyraka asks.
"Mamo how could you? I hate you! Let me go!!!" The brooch on Usagi's chest let off a bright light and it slammed Mamoru in the chest. He was flown back and hit into the couch. Kyraka screamed, ran to the door and fled from the apartment.
Usagi had a white glow about her. She transformed into Neo-Queen Serenity. Mamoru looked up shocked.
"Serenity?" He breathed. He clutched his chest, there was a bit of smoke emanating from the place where the ginzuishou blasted him. Serenity looked down at Mamoru with her eyes brimmed with tears.
"Endymion, how could you?" She raised her hand and a white orb appeared. The orb gathered light and an image of Crystal Tokyo appeared.
"Due to your rash actions, Crystal Tokyo is going through traumatic changes." The orb showed the walls of the palace starting to crack.
"How could this happen?"
"My younger self will not take any more of your abuse. You have foiled the future. Endymion, my dear king is no longer," The orb showed King Endymion, his form grew faint and flickered out. "And Small Lady cannot exist." A tear traced it's way down Serenity's face as the orb showed Chibi-Usa slowly fade out of existence. Crystal Tokyo began to rumble.
"With these trying circumstances I can no longer maintain Crystal Tokyo."
"But, I can apologize. I take everything back. I'm so sorry Usako!" Mamoru begged at Serenity's feet.
"Farewell my dear prince. May the future find you well." Neo-Queen Serenity flickered and disappeared.
Usagi appeared in her place. She looked down to a crumbled Mamoru.
"Goodbye Mamo-chan." Mamoru became aware that Usagi had returned.
"Usagi please forgive me." He begged at her feet.
"No Mamoru, no more. Destiny no longer binds me to you. I am free." Usagi took off the engagement ring and dropped it on the floor at her feet. Mamoru stared at the ring. He grabbed the ring and stood up.
"No you can't!" Mamoru held Usagi's hand tightly and tried to force the ring back on her hand. She struggled against him and managed to break free. She took to the door and disappeared. She ran and ran. She could her Mamoru's hastened steps behind her, he yelled her name, part in anguish the other in anger. Tears were streaming down her face and she looked to the pavement as she ran. Usagi payed no heed to the people who were dodging her form. As she passed an alley an arm reached out and grabbed her and pulled her into the alley.
"Usagi calm down, what's wrong" The stranger called to her as they wrestled with Usagi who was frantic. Usagi kept her eyes closed and kept fighting.
"Stop it! Let me go." She screamed.
"Usagi it's me."
"Mamo-chan I'm sorry I won't see Seiya again, just don't hurt me again." Seiya gasped and dropped Usagi's hands. Usagi cringed, when no attack came she slowly opened her eyes. Infront of her was Seiya with a shocked expression on his face.
"S-Seiya?" Usagi stammered.
"Usagi did Mamoru hurt you?" Usagi looked at her feet. Seiya gently placed his hand under her chin and lifted it up. "How could he? Why did he do it?"
"Oh Seiya!" Usagi fell into Seiya's arms and cried. "I never saw that side of Mamoru, he scared me so much." Seiya stroked Usagi's hair.
"Usagi tell me what happened."
"Well yesterday I saw Mamoru and invited him to my apartment so we could talk. He tried to apologize but I didn't except it. Then he got mad that I was wearing the necklace you gave me and told me to take it off. I didn't and he ripped it off my neck. Then he told me to promise him that I wouldn't see you ever again. I told him he couldn't order me around, then he got angry. He then..."
"Usagi what did he do?"
"H-He grabbed my shoulders and shoved me into the wall and screamed in my face to promise. I was so scared that I promised then he kissed me really roughly and stormed out. Then today I went to talk to Mamoru about it and when I walked in he was with a-another girl." Usagi began to cry harder. Seiya hugged Usagi tightly.
"I'll never let anyone hurt you again" Then he kissed her forehead. Usagi sniffed, calmed down and looked up at Seiya. He looked genuinely concerned with her well being but also looked like his animal instinct was taking over and he thirst for Mamoru's blood.
"Seiya I'm so sorry for yesterday, I didn't want to do that." Seiya smiled.
"Odango, it's alright, it's forgotten, you're here with me now that's all that matters." They walk out of the alley.
"So Odango, do you want to get some ice cream to cheer you up? My treat." Usagi's eye's brightened.
"Can I get a triple scoop?" Seiya sighed.
"Sure my Odango." They walk off to the Ice Cream Parlor.
Mamoru ran down the street.
"Where could she have gone? I followed her from my apartment." Mamoru scanned the area infront of him. He saw Kyraka walking fast in the crowd infront of him. Mamoru sped up.
Usagi beamed as she walked out of the Ice Cream Parlor. In one hand was a triple scoop ice cream cone and in the other was Seiya's hand. Seiya was also beaming. Finally he's beat out Mamoru and is now Usagi's boyfriend. He hopes it will be forever. He had asked Usagi "officially" a few moments before and she said yes.
~She said yes!~ Screamed in Seiya's head. Usagi was talking about how there's a special order that you have to put the three flavours of ice cream in. Then she suddenly stopped in mid sentence and froze in step. Seiya looked to her and followed her eyes. Across the street was a young woman arguing with a man. The woman flung up her arms and stormed off across the street. The man pursued her.
"Mamoru I told you! I don't want to have anything to do with you or that freak girl!" Seiya gasped.
~This girl must be the one who Mamoru cheated with.~
"But Kyraka!" Kyraka stopped and spun on her heels.
"But nothing Mamoru I saw how that girl reacted when she saw us together. She was your girlfriend. You used me and you hurt her. You are positively evil! You cheated on her and I won't forgive that type of action. Who says you wouldn't cheat on me? Once a cheater always a cheater. So get away from me Mamoru and I never want to see you again!" Mamoru was taken aback.
"Kyraka I didn't think she'd come in and see us." Kyraka stepped up to Mamoru and slapped him across the face.
"So it's all ok if I don't know about it! Get out of here before I call the police!"
"Kyraka I didn't mean it that way."
"Shut up Mamoru I don't want to hear it. Now get out of here!" Kyraka stormed away.
Mamoru stood there stunned for a moment with a hand holding his red cheek. Crestfallen he turns and heads for the Ice Cream Parlor. Usagi panics.
"Seiya if he sees me with you he'll freak." Just before Mamoru saw Usagi and Seiya, Seiya pulled Usagi in for a long passionate kiss. Mamoru passed the couple not noticing that his enemy was kissing him now ex-girlfriend, fiancee, future wife, mother of his child, goddess of the Earth. Mamoru felt like dying, but he pledged to himself that he would have Usagi back, even if he had to pursue her till the end of time.
"Mamoru!" Mako called. Mamoru passed off her call and kept walking. Mako ran up to Mamoru.
"Mamoru!" Mamoru kept walking. Mako grabbed his arm.
"Mamoru I need to talk to you." Mamoru looked at Mako and shrugged her off and muttered,
"Screw off Mako." Mako stepped infront of Mamoru.
"I don't think so. I heard what you did to Usagi." Mamoru stopped.
"I don't want to talk about it."
"Well Mamoru you're going to. I thought you were Usagi's protector."
"Look Mako! You don't have to worry about me hurting Usagi anymore." Mako was taken back.
"What do you mean?"
"It means I screwed up badly. I got angry at Usagi and I shoved her into the wall, then still fuming I hit into this girl, Kyraka. Well for some reason I was attracted to her and we went out for coffee. Then a few hours ago we were in my apartment and I was making her lunch and Usagi walked in. Usagi and I got in a fight. Then the ginzuishou blasted me and Kyraka ran out. Then Neo-Queen Serenity appeared in Usagi's place and she told me that I destroyed my older self and Chibi-Usa. She couldn't maintain Crystal Tokyo and it started to falter. All because of me. Then Usagi returned and she took off our engagement ring and ran out. Then I tried to talk to Kyraka and she slapped me across the face. You happy now Mako?" Mamoru screamed in anguish. Mako stood there shocked.
"Oh my god!"
"So there I destroyed myself and my child! Now I have to live with it."
"Well Mamoru you deserve it. All this is your own doing." Mamoru looked at Mako.
"What?!"
"You bastard! How could you hurt Usagi like that? What did she ever do to you? Nothing. If you ask me she's way better off with Seiya then with you!"
"She's with Seiya?" Mamoru stampered.
"Well she should be, she should have while you were gone. At least Seiya would never hurt her." Mamoru fumed.
~If I can't have her then no one will!~ He thought.
"Get out of my way Mako." Mako stayed firm.
"You're not going to see Usagi anymore. I won't let you."
"Move, now!"
"No!" Mamoru clenched his fist.
"Mako don't make this get ugly. You know you can't beat me in a fight."
"I bet I could."
"You didn't before." Mako gasped. She remembered when Mamoru was turned evil by Beryl and was after a rainbow crystal and they got into a fist fight in that alley.
"It has been a long time since then. It's about time someone gets you back for all the pain you put Usagi through." Mako got into a fighting stance as did Mamoru.
Rei, Ami, Mina, Haruka and Michiru were walking towards the Ice Cream Parlor. They walked in and ordered their ice cream and sat at a table. A girl giggled at the table behind them. It was familiar. Haruka looked up and saw Seiya. Across from Seiya was a familiar blond with odangos in her hair. Haruka breathed in.
"What the hell?" Michiru looked up and dropped her spoon as Usagi fed a spoonful of ice cream to Seiya. The others turned around and looked.
"Usagi?" Rei breathed. Usagi stopped and looked around and saw her friends.
"Oh hi guys!" Mina caught Usagi's eye then looked over to Seiya and back to Usagi. Usagi smiled.
"You guys are probably wondering what I'm doing right?"
"Umm yeah." Rei said. Seiya and Usagi got up and came over to the groups table and stood at the end of it, holding hands. Haruka and Michiru looked at the clasped hands then at each other with worried expressions.
"Well me and Seiya are an item now." Usagi beamed and hugged Seiya with one arm. Everyone gasped.
"What???"
"Well things didn't work out with me and Mamoru. But don't worry The future has changed so I don't need Mamoru anymore."
"Usagi what happened?" Ami asked slowly.
"Well Mamoru got mad at me and hurt me. Then he, well he cheated on me. So I gave up on him. I don't need him anymore. Destiny will no longer control my life."
"Oh my god. But what about Crystal Tokyo?" Michiru asked.
"Well King Endymion disappeared, as did Small Lady," Usagi paused for a moment. "But Neo-Queen Serenity told me that I don't have to let destiny rule my life. The distant past doesn't control my future."
"Usagi are you ok thought?" Mina asked.
"Well of course I'm upset, but for once I feel like I made my own decision." Usagi smiled and looked to Seiya.
"I just can't believe it."
"Well it's true Rei." Seiya said calmly.
"Well congrats you two!" Mina called. She jumped up and hugged the happy couple. The rest joined, aside from Michiru and Haruka. They talked off on the side.
"I think we should talk to Pluto about this." They left.
Yaten slumped down in his chair.
"Taiki where is Seiya?" Taiki watched out the window.
"I don't know Yaten, but I'm worried. We should go and look for him."
"Alright let's go." The two got up and left the apartment.
"Say Mina where's Mako?" Usagi asked.
"Oh my! She went to talk to Mamoru." They all looked at each other.
"We should go get her and tell her it's no point."
"Your right Usagi. Let's go." They leave the Ice Cream Parlor.
Sailor Uranus and Neptune combined their powers and transported to The Time Gate.
"Greetings. I know why you are here. You have nothing to worry about. The princess can be with Seiya and nothing will happen. The changes have already occurred and cannot be changed. The future has changed and nothing can be done to change it. Mamoru choose his path, it is now time for Usagi to choose hers. And she has chosen Seiya. Haruka I know you don't approve of Seiya but he is a good man for Usagi. Let your guard down and you might see that. Let her be happy."
"But Setsuna, he's not from here."
"Yes Haruka I know, but I have looked into their future and it is a bright one. For Usagi and for the whole Universe."
"Setsuna what will Usagi's and Seiya's love produce?" Sailor Pluto smiled.
"Michiru, you know I can't share that with you. You'll know in time. One thing I must warn you of."
"What?" Uranus asked.
"You must got to the park and stop Mako and Mamoru." A portal appeared and through it they could see Mako and Mamoru engaged in battle.
"Farewell my friends." Uranus and Neptune wave goodbye and run into the portal and appear in the park.
Taiki and Yaten saw the group of girls come out of the Ice Cream Parlor. They followed then wanting to ask if they saw Seiya anywhere.
The group entered the park looking for Mako.
"Mako you're going to regret challenging me." Mamoru's voice could be heard from behind a set of trees. Everyone looked at each other and ran to the clearing behind the trees. There was Mako and Mamoru punching and kicking at each other.
"Oh my god!" Usagi screamed.
Taiki and Yaten heard Usagi yell and ran to meet the group. They saw Seiya standing beside Usagi holding her hand, then they saw Mako and Mamoru fighting each other. Usagi ran up to them and Seiya followed.
"Mamoru! Mako! Stop this!!!" She yelled tears in her eyes. The two combatants kept fighting. In the distance,
"Deep Submerge!" A ball of concentrated water hit the ground before Mako and Mamoru and the force of the water knocked them off their feet. Usagi ran to Mako and helped her up. Sailor Neptune and Uranus appeared in a tree and jumped down. Uranus' Space Sword appeared and she jumped high in the air and landed looming over Mamoru who was trying to regain his senses. Everyone gasped when Uranus raised the sword above her head.
"This is for hurting my princess." She brought the sword down at Mamoru's head. His eyes opened wide. The sword hit its mark. Mamoru let out scream. The sword was in the earth beside Mamoru's head, cutting off a large lock of his hair. Uranus pulled out the sword looked up to Usagi and Mako, then she spat on Mamoru.
"You disgust me. To think I tried to keep Usagi away from Seiya just so you could marry her. You don't deserve her. You don't deserve anyone. I hope you live a long life Mamoru, alone and forever hating yourself for hurting her." Uranus walked away from the shaken Mamoru. Everyone stood silent for a moment. Uranus and Neptune turned back into Haruka and Michiru. Michiru looked up at Haruka.
"What was that?" Haruka shook her head.
"I don't know."
Yaten and Taiki come up to Rei.
"What is going on?"
"Taiki! Mamoru cheated on Usagi and now she's with Seiya. Mako and Mamoru where fighting then Uranus and Neptune showed up." Rei said quietly.
"Usagi and Seiya are together?" Yaten swallowed.
"Yes they are." Rei said. Taiki and Yaten sigh. Together they say,
"He finally got his wish."
"Mako are you ok?" Usagi asked. Mako was a bit dazed.
"Yeah Usagi, I'm fine." Usagi hands Mako over to Seiya and gets up and walks up to Mamoru. She stood over him. She saw Haruka's spit on his cheek and the lock of hair on the ground beside his head. She knelt down beside Mamoru and whispered in his ear.
"The child that shall rule after me shall be Seiya's child, not yours."
"NO!" Mamoru screamed. He rolled over and grabbed on the Usagi's leg. Seiya ran up, Usagi placed a hand on his chest and mouthed the word 'No.' Seiya took a step back. Usagi reached into her pocket and took out the necklace Seiya had given to her. It had a new chain. She put it on then leaned down to Mamoru.
"I'm sorry Mamo-chan, I am going to have to break a promise to you." She kissed him lightly on the lips.
"Goodbye Mamo-chan." She pulled Mamoru's hand off her leg and got up. She held Seiya's hand, took one look at Mamoru, then turned and walked away. She never looked back.
~To Be Continued in the Epilouge...
Usagi knocked on the door. She heard the sound of someone in the kitchen. Then she heard laughter.
"Mamoru are you in there?" She opened the door and gasped. Mamoru was in his kitchen with his arms around another woman.
"Usagi?" He let go of Kyraka who seemed very confused. Usagi swayed and held onto the counter for support. She trembled. Mamoru came around the counter and started,
"Usagi this isn't what it seems." Usagi took a step back and hit into the door.
"Then what is it?" She whispered having trouble breathing.
"Mamoru, who is this lil girl?" Kyraka asked walking up behind Mamoru and touched his shoulder. Usagi doubled over and held her heart, her heart was racing, her breathing was labored, and the room was spinning. Usagi let out a pitiful whimper. She turned and tried to open the door. Mamoru stepped up to her, grabbed her arm and turned her around.
"Let me go!" Usagi screamed and shoved Mamoru away. He came up to her and grabbed her wrists. Usagi writhed her hands and fought with Mamoru's strong hands for freedom.
"Mamoru what's going on?" Kyraka asks.
"Mamo how could you? I hate you! Let me go!!!" The brooch on Usagi's chest let off a bright light and it slammed Mamoru in the chest. He was flown back and hit into the couch. Kyraka screamed, ran to the door and fled from the apartment.
Usagi had a white glow about her. She transformed into Neo-Queen Serenity. Mamoru looked up shocked.
"Serenity?" He breathed. He clutched his chest, there was a bit of smoke emanating from the place where the ginzuishou blasted him. Serenity looked down at Mamoru with her eyes brimmed with tears.
"Endymion, how could you?" She raised her hand and a white orb appeared. The orb gathered light and an image of Crystal Tokyo appeared.
"Due to your rash actions, Crystal Tokyo is going through traumatic changes." The orb showed the walls of the palace starting to crack.
"How could this happen?"
"My younger self will not take any more of your abuse. You have foiled the future. Endymion, my dear king is no longer," The orb showed King Endymion, his form grew faint and flickered out. "And Small Lady cannot exist." A tear traced it's way down Serenity's face as the orb showed Chibi-Usa slowly fade out of existence. Crystal Tokyo began to rumble.
"With these trying circumstances I can no longer maintain Crystal Tokyo."
"But, I can apologize. I take everything back. I'm so sorry Usako!" Mamoru begged at Serenity's feet.
"Farewell my dear prince. May the future find you well." Neo-Queen Serenity flickered and disappeared.
Usagi appeared in her place. She looked down to a crumbled Mamoru.
"Goodbye Mamo-chan." Mamoru became aware that Usagi had returned.
"Usagi please forgive me." He begged at her feet.
"No Mamoru, no more. Destiny no longer binds me to you. I am free." Usagi took off the engagement ring and dropped it on the floor at her feet. Mamoru stared at the ring. He grabbed the ring and stood up.
"No you can't!" Mamoru held Usagi's hand tightly and tried to force the ring back on her hand. She struggled against him and managed to break free. She took to the door and disappeared. She ran and ran. She could her Mamoru's hastened steps behind her, he yelled her name, part in anguish the other in anger. Tears were streaming down her face and she looked to the pavement as she ran. Usagi payed no heed to the people who were dodging her form. As she passed an alley an arm reached out and grabbed her and pulled her into the alley.
"Usagi calm down, what's wrong" The stranger called to her as they wrestled with Usagi who was frantic. Usagi kept her eyes closed and kept fighting.
"Stop it! Let me go." She screamed.
"Usagi it's me."
"Mamo-chan I'm sorry I won't see Seiya again, just don't hurt me again." Seiya gasped and dropped Usagi's hands. Usagi cringed, when no attack came she slowly opened her eyes. Infront of her was Seiya with a shocked expression on his face.
"S-Seiya?" Usagi stammered.
"Usagi did Mamoru hurt you?" Usagi looked at her feet. Seiya gently placed his hand under her chin and lifted it up. "How could he? Why did he do it?"
"Oh Seiya!" Usagi fell into Seiya's arms and cried. "I never saw that side of Mamoru, he scared me so much." Seiya stroked Usagi's hair.
"Usagi tell me what happened."
"Well yesterday I saw Mamoru and invited him to my apartment so we could talk. He tried to apologize but I didn't except it. Then he got mad that I was wearing the necklace you gave me and told me to take it off. I didn't and he ripped it off my neck. Then he told me to promise him that I wouldn't see you ever again. I told him he couldn't order me around, then he got angry. He then..."
"Usagi what did he do?"
"H-He grabbed my shoulders and shoved me into the wall and screamed in my face to promise. I was so scared that I promised then he kissed me really roughly and stormed out. Then today I went to talk to Mamoru about it and when I walked in he was with a-another girl." Usagi began to cry harder. Seiya hugged Usagi tightly.
"I'll never let anyone hurt you again" Then he kissed her forehead. Usagi sniffed, calmed down and looked up at Seiya. He looked genuinely concerned with her well being but also looked like his animal instinct was taking over and he thirst for Mamoru's blood.
"Seiya I'm so sorry for yesterday, I didn't want to do that." Seiya smiled.
"Odango, it's alright, it's forgotten, you're here with me now that's all that matters." They walk out of the alley.
"So Odango, do you want to get some ice cream to cheer you up? My treat." Usagi's eye's brightened.
"Can I get a triple scoop?" Seiya sighed.
"Sure my Odango." They walk off to the Ice Cream Parlor.
Mamoru ran down the street.
"Where could she have gone? I followed her from my apartment." Mamoru scanned the area infront of him. He saw Kyraka walking fast in the crowd infront of him. Mamoru sped up.
Usagi beamed as she walked out of the Ice Cream Parlor. In one hand was a triple scoop ice cream cone and in the other was Seiya's hand. Seiya was also beaming. Finally he's beat out Mamoru and is now Usagi's boyfriend. He hopes it will be forever. He had asked Usagi "officially" a few moments before and she said yes.
~She said yes!~ Screamed in Seiya's head. Usagi was talking about how there's a special order that you have to put the three flavours of ice cream in. Then she suddenly stopped in mid sentence and froze in step. Seiya looked to her and followed her eyes. Across the street was a young woman arguing with a man. The woman flung up her arms and stormed off across the street. The man pursued her.
"Mamoru I told you! I don't want to have anything to do with you or that freak girl!" Seiya gasped.
~This girl must be the one who Mamoru cheated with.~
"But Kyraka!" Kyraka stopped and spun on her heels.
"But nothing Mamoru I saw how that girl reacted when she saw us together. She was your girlfriend. You used me and you hurt her. You are positively evil! You cheated on her and I won't forgive that type of action. Who says you wouldn't cheat on me? Once a cheater always a cheater. So get away from me Mamoru and I never want to see you again!" Mamoru was taken aback.
"Kyraka I didn't think she'd come in and see us." Kyraka stepped up to Mamoru and slapped him across the face.
"So it's all ok if I don't know about it! Get out of here before I call the police!"
"Kyraka I didn't mean it that way."
"Shut up Mamoru I don't want to hear it. Now get out of here!" Kyraka stormed away.
Mamoru stood there stunned for a moment with a hand holding his red cheek. Crestfallen he turns and heads for the Ice Cream Parlor. Usagi panics.
"Seiya if he sees me with you he'll freak." Just before Mamoru saw Usagi and Seiya, Seiya pulled Usagi in for a long passionate kiss. Mamoru passed the couple not noticing that his enemy was kissing him now ex-girlfriend, fiancee, future wife, mother of his child, goddess of the Earth. Mamoru felt like dying, but he pledged to himself that he would have Usagi back, even if he had to pursue her till the end of time.
"Mamoru!" Mako called. Mamoru passed off her call and kept walking. Mako ran up to Mamoru.
"Mamoru!" Mamoru kept walking. Mako grabbed his arm.
"Mamoru I need to talk to you." Mamoru looked at Mako and shrugged her off and muttered,
"Screw off Mako." Mako stepped infront of Mamoru.
"I don't think so. I heard what you did to Usagi." Mamoru stopped.
"I don't want to talk about it."
"Well Mamoru you're going to. I thought you were Usagi's protector."
"Look Mako! You don't have to worry about me hurting Usagi anymore." Mako was taken back.
"What do you mean?"
"It means I screwed up badly. I got angry at Usagi and I shoved her into the wall, then still fuming I hit into this girl, Kyraka. Well for some reason I was attracted to her and we went out for coffee. Then a few hours ago we were in my apartment and I was making her lunch and Usagi walked in. Usagi and I got in a fight. Then the ginzuishou blasted me and Kyraka ran out. Then Neo-Queen Serenity appeared in Usagi's place and she told me that I destroyed my older self and Chibi-Usa. She couldn't maintain Crystal Tokyo and it started to falter. All because of me. Then Usagi returned and she took off our engagement ring and ran out. Then I tried to talk to Kyraka and she slapped me across the face. You happy now Mako?" Mamoru screamed in anguish. Mako stood there shocked.
"Oh my god!"
"So there I destroyed myself and my child! Now I have to live with it."
"Well Mamoru you deserve it. All this is your own doing." Mamoru looked at Mako.
"What?!"
"You bastard! How could you hurt Usagi like that? What did she ever do to you? Nothing. If you ask me she's way better off with Seiya then with you!"
"She's with Seiya?" Mamoru stampered.
"Well she should be, she should have while you were gone. At least Seiya would never hurt her." Mamoru fumed.
~If I can't have her then no one will!~ He thought.
"Get out of my way Mako." Mako stayed firm.
"You're not going to see Usagi anymore. I won't let you."
"Move, now!"
"No!" Mamoru clenched his fist.
"Mako don't make this get ugly. You know you can't beat me in a fight."
"I bet I could."
"You didn't before." Mako gasped. She remembered when Mamoru was turned evil by Beryl and was after a rainbow crystal and they got into a fist fight in that alley.
"It has been a long time since then. It's about time someone gets you back for all the pain you put Usagi through." Mako got into a fighting stance as did Mamoru.
Rei, Ami, Mina, Haruka and Michiru were walking towards the Ice Cream Parlor. They walked in and ordered their ice cream and sat at a table. A girl giggled at the table behind them. It was familiar. Haruka looked up and saw Seiya. Across from Seiya was a familiar blond with odangos in her hair. Haruka breathed in.
"What the hell?" Michiru looked up and dropped her spoon as Usagi fed a spoonful of ice cream to Seiya. The others turned around and looked.
"Usagi?" Rei breathed. Usagi stopped and looked around and saw her friends.
"Oh hi guys!" Mina caught Usagi's eye then looked over to Seiya and back to Usagi. Usagi smiled.
"You guys are probably wondering what I'm doing right?"
"Umm yeah." Rei said. Seiya and Usagi got up and came over to the groups table and stood at the end of it, holding hands. Haruka and Michiru looked at the clasped hands then at each other with worried expressions.
"Well me and Seiya are an item now." Usagi beamed and hugged Seiya with one arm. Everyone gasped.
"What???"
"Well things didn't work out with me and Mamoru. But don't worry The future has changed so I don't need Mamoru anymore."
"Usagi what happened?" Ami asked slowly.
"Well Mamoru got mad at me and hurt me. Then he, well he cheated on me. So I gave up on him. I don't need him anymore. Destiny will no longer control my life."
"Oh my god. But what about Crystal Tokyo?" Michiru asked.
"Well King Endymion disappeared, as did Small Lady," Usagi paused for a moment. "But Neo-Queen Serenity told me that I don't have to let destiny rule my life. The distant past doesn't control my future."
"Usagi are you ok thought?" Mina asked.
"Well of course I'm upset, but for once I feel like I made my own decision." Usagi smiled and looked to Seiya.
"I just can't believe it."
"Well it's true Rei." Seiya said calmly.
"Well congrats you two!" Mina called. She jumped up and hugged the happy couple. The rest joined, aside from Michiru and Haruka. They talked off on the side.
"I think we should talk to Pluto about this." They left.
Yaten slumped down in his chair.
"Taiki where is Seiya?" Taiki watched out the window.
"I don't know Yaten, but I'm worried. We should go and look for him."
"Alright let's go." The two got up and left the apartment.
"Say Mina where's Mako?" Usagi asked.
"Oh my! She went to talk to Mamoru." They all looked at each other.
"We should go get her and tell her it's no point."
"Your right Usagi. Let's go." They leave the Ice Cream Parlor.
Sailor Uranus and Neptune combined their powers and transported to The Time Gate.
"Greetings. I know why you are here. You have nothing to worry about. The princess can be with Seiya and nothing will happen. The changes have already occurred and cannot be changed. The future has changed and nothing can be done to change it. Mamoru choose his path, it is now time for Usagi to choose hers. And she has chosen Seiya. Haruka I know you don't approve of Seiya but he is a good man for Usagi. Let your guard down and you might see that. Let her be happy."
"But Setsuna, he's not from here."
"Yes Haruka I know, but I have looked into their future and it is a bright one. For Usagi and for the whole Universe."
"Setsuna what will Usagi's and Seiya's love produce?" Sailor Pluto smiled.
"Michiru, you know I can't share that with you. You'll know in time. One thing I must warn you of."
"What?" Uranus asked.
"You must got to the park and stop Mako and Mamoru." A portal appeared and through it they could see Mako and Mamoru engaged in battle.
"Farewell my friends." Uranus and Neptune wave goodbye and run into the portal and appear in the park.
Taiki and Yaten saw the group of girls come out of the Ice Cream Parlor. They followed then wanting to ask if they saw Seiya anywhere.
The group entered the park looking for Mako.
"Mako you're going to regret challenging me." Mamoru's voice could be heard from behind a set of trees. Everyone looked at each other and ran to the clearing behind the trees. There was Mako and Mamoru punching and kicking at each other.
"Oh my god!" Usagi screamed.
Taiki and Yaten heard Usagi yell and ran to meet the group. They saw Seiya standing beside Usagi holding her hand, then they saw Mako and Mamoru fighting each other. Usagi ran up to them and Seiya followed.
"Mamoru! Mako! Stop this!!!" She yelled tears in her eyes. The two combatants kept fighting. In the distance,
"Deep Submerge!" A ball of concentrated water hit the ground before Mako and Mamoru and the force of the water knocked them off their feet. Usagi ran to Mako and helped her up. Sailor Neptune and Uranus appeared in a tree and jumped down. Uranus' Space Sword appeared and she jumped high in the air and landed looming over Mamoru who was trying to regain his senses. Everyone gasped when Uranus raised the sword above her head.
"This is for hurting my princess." She brought the sword down at Mamoru's head. His eyes opened wide. The sword hit its mark. Mamoru let out scream. The sword was in the earth beside Mamoru's head, cutting off a large lock of his hair. Uranus pulled out the sword looked up to Usagi and Mako, then she spat on Mamoru.
"You disgust me. To think I tried to keep Usagi away from Seiya just so you could marry her. You don't deserve her. You don't deserve anyone. I hope you live a long life Mamoru, alone and forever hating yourself for hurting her." Uranus walked away from the shaken Mamoru. Everyone stood silent for a moment. Uranus and Neptune turned back into Haruka and Michiru. Michiru looked up at Haruka.
"What was that?" Haruka shook her head.
"I don't know."
Yaten and Taiki come up to Rei.
"What is going on?"
"Taiki! Mamoru cheated on Usagi and now she's with Seiya. Mako and Mamoru where fighting then Uranus and Neptune showed up." Rei said quietly.
"Usagi and Seiya are together?" Yaten swallowed.
"Yes they are." Rei said. Taiki and Yaten sigh. Together they say,
"He finally got his wish."
"Mako are you ok?" Usagi asked. Mako was a bit dazed.
"Yeah Usagi, I'm fine." Usagi hands Mako over to Seiya and gets up and walks up to Mamoru. She stood over him. She saw Haruka's spit on his cheek and the lock of hair on the ground beside his head. She knelt down beside Mamoru and whispered in his ear.
"The child that shall rule after me shall be Seiya's child, not yours."
"NO!" Mamoru screamed. He rolled over and grabbed on the Usagi's leg. Seiya ran up, Usagi placed a hand on his chest and mouthed the word 'No.' Seiya took a step back. Usagi reached into her pocket and took out the necklace Seiya had given to her. It had a new chain. She put it on then leaned down to Mamoru.
"I'm sorry Mamo-chan, I am going to have to break a promise to you." She kissed him lightly on the lips.
"Goodbye Mamo-chan." She pulled Mamoru's hand off her leg and got up. She held Seiya's hand, took one look at Mamoru, then turned and walked away. She never looked back.
