Konnichiwa, minna-san. Here is chapter nine. The *last* chapter ... or is it? Muwahahahahahah!
In all honesty, there's an epilogue, don't worry.
WARNING!!!
If you know the story of Sailor Moon, you know what happens to them when they are attacked. If
you don't I'm gonna tell you now: THEY ALL DIE. Which means this chapter is composed of violence
and death. I'm sorry if I just ruined your life, but the epilogue is a much happier ending, don't
worry.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
The Gundams returned from their victorious battle bruised and banged, but in one piece. The
pilots landed their partners in the hanger and quickly scrambled down, checking each other for
injuries.
"Duo! Quatre! You're hurt," WuFei exclaimed.
Duo gave him a smile and whiped away the blood that was trailing down his face from a small gash
above his left eye. Quatre clutched his wrist protectively to his body, grimacing when it was
jarred as he nearly tripped on a small rock.
"Itai!" the blonde hissed, "You'd think the janitor would keep this place a little
cleaner."
The braided boy chuckled at him from under WuFei's hand as the Chinese pilot patched up his
forehead. Heero quickly set the Arab's wrist in a support brace.
"Come on, we have to find the girls," he instructed, monotone.
The others nodded their consent and headed out to find their partners, lovers, sisters, and
friends ... and possibly anyone else who was still alive. What they found were the ruins of what
used to be the greatest kingdom and symbol for peace. Only now could each pilot get a good look
around, and what they saw was something they would forever wish they hadn't. The palace was in
ruins and the once lush gardens were in tatters. From his vintage point, WuFei could see the
willow tree that Makoto had found him under, just yesterday. It was currently on its side,
having been cut down, smoking from where fire had been set to it. Pages of books could be seen
between cracks in the piles of stone that had once been the library. The city that rested within
the palace boarders was either on fire, or no more than a lump of stone, furnature, glass and
bricks. One house could not be discerned from the next. Evacuation had taken place immediately,
but there were still smoking corpses in the streets. Not one sign of life could be detected, it
was as if nothing had ever been there in the first place.
"Where are the girls? Do you think they got out?!" Quatre asked, worriedly.
His question was met with equally worried looks from the other pilots. None could answer, they
did not know. Suddenly, sounds of explosions caused by magic and machine, sounds of battle,
could be heard faintly. Heero was instantly in Wing Zero trying to locate his brother and his
princess.
"The battle is nearly on the other side of the moon. Almost exactly where the OZ lunar
base is ... and all the girls are there," he reported.
"Then lets get there!" Duo yelled, jumping into his Deathscythe Hell.
The other pilots could only nod their agreement as they quickly scrambled into their respective
Gundams. The flight was quick, but each boy could only worry about the unknown. Were the girls
alive? Were they too late? Had their enemies already won? If the White Princess was alive,
then the kingdom could be rebuilt, but would it be worth it? Finally each pilot told himself to
shut up and worry about getting to the battle. If the girls were alive, then they needed help,
and wondering what was going to happen to them was not going to help any.
"I see them!" Duo shouted.
Stealth being his specialty, his Gundam's sight range was better than the others.
"Ami, Rei and Makoto are doing fine and kicking up a storm. Minako looks like she needs
some medical attention, though, but she's still fighting. And Endymion is protecting the
princess, who most likely refuse to let her friends go without her, so don't start, Heero."
The said boy snorted, but kept his mouth shut. Duo knew him best out of all the pilots, and he
knew that Heero was very protective when it came to Serenity. She was the only thing that could
get him to show real emotion. And right now he was feeling very, very angry that someone would
dare to attack his princess, which could only mean a very slow, painful death to whomever that
person was. Namely, one Queen Beryl, who had been obsessed wtih taking over the Silver Millenium
and then the universe for at least the past fifty years. The Gundams either landed or stayed in
the air, contibuting to the battle as best they could. Finally Trowa realized that he was better
off fighting on the ground, being the Jovian prince, and joined his sister on the field.
"Oniichan! Yokatta!!!" Makoto shouted when she saw him, pausing for only a second to
assure herself that he was real, "You're alive! What about the others?!"
"They're alive and kicking, imouto-chan, you've no need to worry," Trowa said calmly as
he joined in the fighting of the foot army.
The Jovian princess smiled at her brother. His calm had always been the opposite of her rashness
and she often leaned on that as a support when things were not going as planned. Currently the
battle stood on neutral grounds, neither side giving or taking any advantages over the other, but
the tides were quickly turning in favor of the enemy. With the Princess behind them and Minako
nearly out, and the enemy army in front, the Senshi had no choice but to win or die. The pilots
were doing as best they could from the air, and were defeating that faction of the army, but that
would not help if the Senshi all died before the fighting was done. Trowa glanced around him,
taking note of the Senshi's injuries and judging who needed help the most. Makoto, he knew, was
the best fighter of the Inners, and the Outer Senshi were not allowed to leave there posts and
would have to watch from a distance because they could not fight. Saturn would awaken only if
the distruction of the Silver Millenium was inevitable. Minako definately needed medical
attention, which she was getting from Quatre as best he could provided.
When did Sandrock land? Does that mean the moblie suits have been defeated? Trowa
wondered idly as he sliced through one of the faceless soldiers.
Apparently it did, because Heero was now protecting his princess while Mamoru protected his. The
Jovian prince wanted nothing more than to run to Ami and kiss her, but he could not get out of
this fight so easily. WuFei apparently noticed this and moved to make sure nothing happened to
the blue haired girl, but not before giving Duo two kisses.
I couldn't protect Meiran, Trowa Heard WuFei think as he kissed Duo, But I'll do my
best to protect her for you, Trowa, in return for the friendship you showed me.
At least she's found her happiness. And thank you, WuFei, the tall boy thought with a
small smile, I'd do the same for you if I could.
Glancing around once more showed Duo now fighting with his sister, and he noticed that they had
been moved farther apart since speaking to each other.
Take care of her, Duo. If I am killed, imouto, suki da.
URASEI, ONIICHAN! Don't think like that!
With another small smile, Trowa sighed and threw himself into battle.
Gomen, imouto, demo ...
I know it looks hopeless, but we're here to look on the bright side of things. I will
*not* let you think depressing thoughts, you hear me?
Hai. ... Abunai!!!
Just in time, Makoto spun around and sliced off the head of a soldier who had been about to sneak
up on her.
You're bad news for me, oniichan. Arigatou.
Trowa smirked and did not think anything back. That had been too close a call for him, he was
not willing to sacrifice his sister to a stupid distraction. Around him the battle raged on.
The teens were driven apart from each other, and the injury count was growing larger per person.
The human soldiers had been mostly defeated, but the Dark Queen Beryl was still at large and
laughing as they tried to stop the distruction. The Jovian prince saw a flash of gold, that
looked like hair. Spinning around, he saw his blond friend on his knees, sobbing, but could not
understand why. Trowa moved to the younger boy as quickly as he could, and finally understood.
"Minako-chan ... wake up ... Minako-chan ... " Quatre sobbed, hunched over the limp form
of his girlfriend. Oh Kamisama iie! This can't be happening! MINAKO-CHAN!!!
He flinched as the sound of metal clashing with metal sounded above his head. He looked up and
saw Trowa there, stopping as sword from slicing his head off.
"Quatre! Snap out of it!" Trowa barked, "We can't lose you, too! Get up and fight, for
her sake if not yours!"
The blond shook his head.
"Iie, Trowa. Leave me. I wouldn't be of any help now," he sighed.
Trowa looked down at his friend and saw the determination in the boy's eyes. In his frustration
sliced off the offending soldier's head, rather slopily. He threw himself into battle once more,
knowing that soon Quatre would no longer be in the land of the living, but with his love in the
after life.
"Damn you, Beryl!" he heard Rei shout, "MAASU! ... FURAMU ... SNIPAAA!!!"
"MAMORU! REI-CHAN!!!"
Not needing to look, Trowa knew that Mamoru and Rei were dead or captured. He prayed for their
capture, at least he would know that they were alive, but something in the back of his head told
him of their deaths. They were down by four. The princess was still alive, *his* princess was
still alive, and that was his motivation for moving on.
"HEEEEROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" the White Princess sobbed.
The prince was floating away, caught in some magical force that was slowly killing him. Serenity
stood a moment in fear, then could no longer stand it. She ran and joined him, clasping his hand
and refusing to let go. They were dead.
"DUO!!! IIIIIIIEEEEEEEEE!!!" Makoto screamed in the distance.
Trowa and WuFei immediately spun around and saw the braided boy falling, Makoto catching him and
holding him close. The Jovian prince immediatedly ran to where Ami was, now it was *his* turn to
protect his princess. WuFei needed no words, he took off running as soon as Trowa came within
five feet, heading straight for the soldiers who surrounded Makoto and Duo in a blinding rage.
They were soon dispatched and WuFei fell to his knees next to Makoto, clutching Duo's hand in
his, the other around Makoto's waist. The braided wonder coughed and smiled weakly, blood
trailing from a large wound in his stomache.
"Gomen ... Mako-chan ... Fei-kun ... " he whispered, "Stay ... alive ... for me ...
onegai ... "
"Iie, Duo! You will *not* die! I won't let you! *We* won't let you!" the princess hissed
at him, tears coursing down her face.
WuFei nodded firmly in his total agreement.
"You two ... are so ... alike, " Duo grinned, "But I'm ... afraid ... I have ... a duty
to ... hell. ... Shinigami ... is needed."
"IIE! Chigau yo! Shinigami can stay right where he is!" the girl sobbed, "And if he
doesn't, I'm going with him to bring his ass back."
"I'll go with her. You can *not* leave us behind," the Chinese boy said stubbornly.
Duo grinned wider and would have laughed, but he coughed up blood instead.
"Ai ... shiteru ... " he sighed, and closed his eyes for the last time.
"Duo ... ai shiteru, " WuFei whispered, clutching the hand tighter.
Makoto sobbed openly over his body, clinging to him like a lifeline. There were four left, and
soon they would be overwhelemed by the enemy. They knew this as well as the Dark Queen did.
"GET THEM!" Beryl ordered, "The Silver Millennium is OURS!!!"
Trowa kissed Ami and held her as they were run through, together, by the same sword. They died
in each others arms, a small comfort for Makoto.
Suki da, oniichan. We'll find each other somehow, she thought, detachedly.
WuFei held her tightly and she returned the embrace.
"I suppose Duo told you everything, ne?"
He nodded.
"Yoshi. I wish ... I wish things could have been different, Fei-kun," she whispered,
burrying her face in the crook of his neck.
They held each other until Makoto felt herself being run through by a sword. WuFei felt cold
hands upon his neck and knew what was coming.
"Ai shiteru, Mako-chan," he said loudly, making sure she heard him before she died.
Then his neck was snapped and there was the cold blackness of death, but something was wrong,
it was not the finality he expected.
Rebirth, a ghostly voice told him, You will find your loves again ... I won't let
it end like this.
~Owari, chapter 9~
Well then, that's that. They're dead. Now all you have to do is wait for the happy ending in
the epilogue ... or you can stop reading and go think morbid thoughts =^-^=;; ...
In all honesty, there's an epilogue, don't worry.
WARNING!!!
If you know the story of Sailor Moon, you know what happens to them when they are attacked. If
you don't I'm gonna tell you now: THEY ALL DIE. Which means this chapter is composed of violence
