---Chapter 9---
A man looked up in time to see a flash of black, billowing like a flag. "What was that?" he asked himself. He strayed away from the pack, to investigate. He climbed up to find himself face to face with a tall, tuxedo clad man, with a cape. "Who... who are you?!" he asked wide eyed.
"No one you want to mess with..." Mamoru paused. "You can call me Tuxedo Mask." he stared at the man. "I'm here to protect the people here." he took off his mask. "Do you recognize me?" he asked with a smirk.
The man backed up. "Your a freak just like that pink haired girl!"
"First off, that girl is my future daughter... secondly, we're not freaks. We're..."
"Chapions of justice!" a voice shouted.
"For our mother stars, we'll defeat you!" another said.
A girl stepped out of the shadows, her long blonde hair flailing around her. "We'll triumph over evil like you..." Usagi added lowly.
Rei and Mina stepped forwards and motioned for the others to join. One by one, they stepped forwards, and transformed into Sailor Scouts. Mamoru and Shingo into their armor.
All the men but four backed away in fear. The four stood there wide eyed, on the verge of remembrance. "Kunzite! Jedite! Nehprite! Zoisite!" the shrill voice of the woman screeched. "Get away from them!"
Kunzite turned. "No Beryl. I will not step down again." he kneeled. "I'm sorry Prince Endymion... I'm sorry for betraying you."
Mamoru stepped forwards and put a hand on Kunzite's shoulder. "I forgive you... I always will. How could I not? You four will always be my best friends." he said with a smile.
The other three stepped forwards and stood infront of Mamoru, their black suits changing to armor. "We'll help you fight prince."
Beryl's face darkened with hatred and anger. "If you don't come with me Mamoru... Endymion. I will kill you and all the others."
Usagi stepped forwards. "I wont let you have them." She pulled a crystal out of her locket. "With the Silver Imperium Crystal, I'll stop you."
Beryl laughed. "A cold stone can't stop me!"
Usagi's eyes grew cold, the stone, growing bright. Almost as if the stone was taking the light from her sparkeling eyes...
"W-whats this!?" Beryl stammered.
Usagi, her eyes almost black, whispered lowly, "Your death."
I never knew this!! ** ber'yl (-el) n. hard, bright mineral, as the emerald ** I knew the others where minerals and jem stones... but not Beryl too!! ^-^ (I was curios why spell check didn't squabble with me on it, so I looked it up!) ~rini
---Chapter 10---
Beryl stumbled backwards, cowering behind the terrified men that she'd brought with her. "I only wanted Endymion. We could've been together. I'd get the reward money they put on your death, and I'd have you." She streched her arm out. "There's still a chance for us." she whimpered.
"There never was and never will be, and us." Mamoru said coldly. He put a hand on Usagi's crystal, with a bright flash, its power almost doubled.
They raised the crystal and a beam shot through Beryl, and her frigid body fell to the ground limply. Usagi dropped the crystal, her eyes flashing back to normal. The men that had accompanied Beryl ran away, pure fear pumping through their veins.
Pluto stepped forwards. "There's much to be done... but... this life will be happy from this point on." she said with a smile.
The scouts cheered and headed back to the factory to take down the barricades. They knew that soon, a troop of the allied armies would come and free them. The had dreamed the Russain and American soldiers would come, and break the chains that had been put on them, and with Pluto's announcement, they knew that day would be soon.
As Usagi was walking back towards the factory, Mamrou picked up the forgotten crystal. "Don't forget this." he said, running up to her.
Usagi nodded slowly and put it back in her locket.
"When you look like that, it makes me want to die." he said to her. "You smile is my lifeline."
Hearing him say that brightened her face and a smile slowly worked its way across her lips.
"Now that's what I love." Mamrou said. He gave her a little kiss on her pink cheek. He wrapped his arm around her waist. "Now we can have the happily-ever-after-life we've wanted, my little princess." he said sweetly as they walked into the building.
Usagi grinned. "Happily Ever After..." she looked up and into his eyes. "I like the sound of that."
