Two of a Set

By: Rage Barton

Rage: Hey guys! I've been turning this story over in my head for a long time... okay, two days. And well, I don't own Gundam or Sailor Moon. ADIOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Usagi yawned as she stopped studying. All the girls were over at Haruka and Michiru's house and the two older girls and Ami were helping everyone else with the studying. Unfortunately, it was the end of school exam time and all the girls were trying to pass with good grades. It's been two years since the battle with Chaos and the girls were all about 16. Usagi's grades had been picking up, mostly since she had moved in with Haruka, Michiru and Hotaru. They hadn't fought any monsters in a long time; they were finally enjoying peace... nothing could go wrong...

"GIRLS THERE'S TROUBLE!"

Everyone watched as Luna and Artemis ran into the room. They were sweating and a look of complete horror was on their faces. Usagi gulped, she knew things were too good to last long!

"What's wrong Luna?"

"There are new demons! And they're making a mess in the city!"

Without another word everyone transformed. Usagi went last, transforming into Eternal Sailor Moon.

"Lead the way."

The scouts weren't sure what to think once they saw the destruction that was once downtown Tokyo. Cars were flipped over and raging fires consumed everything they saw. The Scouts cried out in rage as they searched the city for the ones responsible. Suddenly, a jet of black energy shot into the sky as silence descended upon the city. There were no people; the wind blew as the Scouts finally realized that the streets were quiet. There were no screaming people, just emptiness.

"Sailor Moon come on!"

Usagi lifted her head to see everyone running for the source. Suddenly an eerie evil laughter filled the streets. The Scouts stopped and looked around. Suddenly a black ball of energy steamed pass Sailor Saturn and she looked at the source. She saw a man with long blonde hair and light blue eyes. He was wearing armor, kind of like Prince Edmyion's but it was light blue and looked a lot lighter.

"Who are you?!"

No one had ever seen Hotaru this angry, but then again no one had seen one man do this much damage.

"I'm sorry, how rude of me not to introduce myself. I am Darvius, one of the generals of the Eversores Animos*. AND YOUR DESTRUCTION!"

Darvius sped towards Sailor Moon, two balls of dark energy appearing in his hands. Sailor Mars prepared her attack, his violet hair blowing from the invisible powers radiating off of her.

"MARS..........................."

Fire surrounded the priestess, as the air became hot. Her eyes became an unnerving violet as she finished her attack.

"FLAME SNIPPER!!!!"

The attack sped towards Darvius, who simply changed direction and hurled himself at Sailor Jupiter instead.

"JUPITER OAK EVOLUTION!"

Darvius was caught off guard and the attack hit him straight in the chest. He stopped as a trickle of blood ran down his mouth.

"You are as powerful as they say. However you can not defeat me! I am a general of the Eversores Animos."

Sailor Moon watched Darvius. His eyes were glowing an eerie light blue. He raised his hands over his head and a ball of light blue energy started to form. Everyone stepped back, awaiting his attack. To their surprise Mercury stepped toward. Sailor Moon started to get worried.

"What's wrong Ami?"

"I'll handle this one."

Everyone was shocked that the usually calm and shy sensei stepped toward. Her body started to glow a calm and gentle light blue.

Darvius smiled. He was up against the Princess of Mercury. He heard that she was the weakest. Of course he could handle her. He smiled as his energy came to full power.

"Ice storm!"

Darvius brought the energy ball down. Ice flew from the glowing light blue ball towards Mercury. Mercury stood there, watching as the ice came towards her. All of a sudden, her innocent blue eyes glowed with a deadly blue fire and jumped back, preparing her attack.

"MERCERY...."

Mercury started to play her harp. Her mind was clear. 'I can do this. I have to do this. I am Princess Ami of Mercury. I have to protect the world and the universe. I have to prove myself, to my friends... but most importantly myself!'

"AQUA SHINE ILLUSION!"

The stream water sped towards the storm of ice and met it head on. At first it was even, but soon Darvius started getting the upper hand. Ami's eyes clouded over with doubt for minutes. 'What if I made a mistake and I can't defeat him?'

Eternal sailor Moon felt the doubt in Ami's heart. She watched as the ice barrage moved closer and closer to her friend. She started to go forward but felt a hand on her shoulder. Turning around she saw the anxious face of Sailor Neptune. Eternal Sailor Moon could see the worry in Neptune's eyes.

"She must do this herself Princess. If she doesn't, she will forever doubt herself and never know her true power."

"But she's in trouble. I have to do something!"

"You can help. Encourage her, believe in her."

Sailor Moon looked at Neptune defeated. But her eyes suddenly shone with love and faith.

"YOU CAN DO IT MERCERY!"

Mercury turned to Sailor Moon. She saw her eyes full of life and faith. Her queen smiled at her and continued to cheer her on. Mercury started to believe in herself. The life in her queen's eyes were what she fought to protect.

"SHOW HIM WHO'S BOSS MECERY!"

Ami looked at Jupiter who was jumping up and down. She saw all the hope and kindness in Makato's eyes and knew that she was doing the right thing.

"YOU'RE A SAILOR SCOUT AND A PRINCESS! COME ON!!!"


Mercury turned to Mars who was grinning at her. In Rei's eyes she saw the passion that made Rei... and herself a protector.

"YOU'RE THE BEST MERC!!!"

Mercury turn to look at the Love Scout that was standing there, itching to help her. But Venus knew she should. In Venus's eyes, she saw the trust that she longed to see.

"Come on little one! We believe in you!"

Mercury looked at Uranus. Her eyes shone with bravery and the willingness to sacrifice everything for peace. Ami could feel that prideful feeling over take her.

"COME ON! WE ALL LOVE YOU!"

Mercury turned to her cousin Neptune. Her eyes raged with an inner fire that beamed with the truest love. Ami knew that she was loved that she was one of them.

"Come on Ams! You are who you are! Be proud of it!"

Mercury turned to the youngest member. Saturn's usually cold eyes were bright with strength to go on. When Mercury looked into her eyes, she saw her own eyes mirror back with her own inner strength.

"Come on Princess. You are the chosen one of Mercury."

Mercury tuned her head to the new voice. She stared into the deep green eyes of Sailor Pluto. The Time Guardian had taken time to come and encourage her. It made her chest swell with pride and confidence.

Sailor Mercury turned to Darvius and looked deep into his light blue eyes. Her eyes were burning with a renewed inner fire. She closed her eyes, feeling the emotions coming from her friends.

Kindness of her friends and their faith in her...

" I am Sailor Mercury!"

Passion for what she does...

"I am the chosen princess of MERCURY!"

Everyone's complete trust in her....

"I REPRESENT WISDOM!"

Ami felt braver than she ever had before. She was willing to sacrifice it all...

"I WILL RID THE WORLD OF EVIL!"

...Sacrifice it all for her friends..... the ones that gave her the truest form of love...

"I CAN'T ALLOW YOU TO HARM MY FRIENDS OR THE EARTH!"

Ami could feel the strength within her. Her inner strength that she had never felt.

"I WILL END THIS!"

Her friends confidence in her and her own sense of pride.

"YOU WILL SUFFER THE WRATH OF SAILOR MERCURY!"

She is Sailor Mercury... the fighter or hope........ the fighter for life....

"AQUA SHINE ILLUSION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

A new, stronger burst of energy emerged from her. An unstoppable power that rushed towards Darvius. It quickly and easily destroyed the ice surrounding Darvius. The power hit the general straight in the chest and he fell from the air to the ground.

Mercury stepped back slightly up stood firm. She walked towards Darvius and watched as he painfully picked himself up.

"You- you're not that bad."

Mercury smiled at him and stood back.

"But don't think you've won."

Mercury stepped back in shock. She regained her composure and prepared to kill him.

Suddenly a thunder bolt hit Mercury and sent her flying into a tree. The scouts shocked rushed to Ami. Jupiter stood up, scanning the skies. Suddenly another man appeared. He had armor like Darvius' only dark green. His eyes were a shocking dark green. His light brown hair was short and spiked upwards.

"Darvius, you've made a fool of yourself."

Darvius only groaned in response. The new comer looked at Jupiter and smiled.

"So this is our little nature princess eh? You are quite the looker. The name is Callisto, general of nature and thunder. I would fight you, but I'm on a retrieval mission. Perhaps some other time."

Callisto flew to Darvius and touched his arm. He looked into Jupiter's angry green eyes and disappeared in a storm of leaves, taking Darvius with him.

Jupiter ran back to Mercury. She was banged up, with a deep gash on her back. Her legs had several cuts and bruises were forming on her ribs.

"Ami you okay?"

Ami smiled weakly at her Queen and nodded.

"I'm fine."

Uranus took Ami into her arms and started to run towards the house. Everyone ran after her, all worried about their little bookworm.

Minutes later they arrived at their mansion. They had all de-transformed on their way. Makato opened the door and Haruka carried Ami to her room. Entering the light blue room, Haruka set Ami onto her bed. Everyone came in minutes later.

"Where's Hotaru?"

Everyone looked around for the pale little girl. She came in a minute later, wheezing slightly.

"Sorry guys, you know me."

Haruka started bandaging Ami's wounds. She gasped slightly when she saw the deep gashes. Hotaru seemed to have read Haruka's mind and pushed through the older worried senshis.

"Move guys."

Everyone stepped back, shocked at the cold voice that suddenly came from the girl. They allowed Hotaru to step through and with a single look Haruka stepped aside. Putting her hands together, Hotaru closed her eyes. A soft purple glow came from her hands and the girls prepared to see what they've seen a million times.

Hotaru placed her hands on the most serious wounds and miraculously they all healed. Ami opened her eyes half way through and smiled at the girl. Hotaru smiled back. After Hotaru was done with most of the wounds, without a warning she fell backwards.

Setsuna caught the small girl in her arms and placed her next to Ami on Ami's huge king size bed. Ami looked worriedly at the girl.

"Are you okay Hotaru?"

"Funny, I should be asking you that. I'll be fine... just need some sleep."

Then without a warning the little girl fell asleep. Haruka picked up the little girl and walking into Hotaru's room. Placing Hotaru on the bed, she walked out. Hotaru turned in bed, ready for the next day..........
