Sailor Jupiter

She was lonely…everyone else seemed so happy on the moon. She found herself thinking about Fred. He had been her best friend since she could remember, he had protected her from Ann and Allens Lion youma, and had gotten himself seriously injured. She remembered the memory all too well. Her mind wandered over all of the old boyfriends she had had over the years…then she heard a voice.

"I loved you…" it said. She turned around and a ghostly figure was standing in front of her. For some odd reason he was dressed like Zoicite and Kunzite, of Baril's generals had dressed, he was cute.

"Who are you?" she asked.

"It's not surprising you don't recognize me…you were not with your friends when they fought me…" it said.

"My friends fought you?"

"Yes…my name is Nephrite. You see before we were with Baril…we were the four generals and protectors of the earth prince. All of us were in love with each of the four inner senshi…" he said.

"…but that doesn't make any sense…" she said.

"Baril turned us against all of you and when we were resurrected we were still on Baril's side. However when Sailor Moon defeated each of us…our spirits were set free and we have been watching over all of you…" he said but suddenly vanished.

"Don't go…I need someone to talk to me…" she whispered. Makoto Kino sat on her bed and sobbed silently. She was so lonely and she longed for someone to talk to her. The black light that had already attacked Mercury and Mars entered her room under her door. Makoto looked up just as the blackness entered her body…she screamed and once again no sound could be heard. (Are we seeing a pattern here yet?). Her body fell back onto the bed and when she opened her eyes she was standing in the middle of a battle.

"Don't just stand there! Do something!" Sailor Venus yelled at her.

"Jupiter!" Sailor Moon yelled as she was being dragged to wards the youma. Tuxedo Kamen was holding onto her hand trying to pull her back to him.

"Do something!" he yelled. But it was too late, he lost his grip on Sailor Moon and she disappeared from sight.

"NO!" she yelled. She sat there stunned at the loss of her friend.

"Jupiter! Watch it!" Mercury yelled as she pushed Jupiter out of the way. She turned around to see Mercury's limp body hit the ground right where she had just been. The blast meant for Jupiter had killed her.

"You've killed her! You monster!" she said as she stood up.

"Be careful!" Mars yelled. The three remaining Senshi were weak, as was Tuxedo Kamen.

"SUPREME THUNDER!" she yelled. The electric attack bounced off of the youma and landed in front of Mars and Venus. She looked at her friends with horror in her eyes as her attack hit them and they disappeared from her view. She turned towards the monster and it was now gone.

"No…how could I have…this isn't right…" she said as she sank to her knees. No longer in her Fuku she heard someone walk up to her. The rain had drenched her school uniform and her brown hair was slick against her face and on the back of her neck.

"Sempai?" she asked as she recognized who it was.

"It's over Makoto…" he said as he turned to leave her.

"Don't go…please…I…"

"Don't! IT'S OVER BETWEEN US!" he yelled as he walked away. The rain pelted at her and she walked numbly ahead, not knowing where she was going. She was standing in front of the Arcade looking at her reflection in the window, suddenly the reflection changed to Usagi's.

"Usagi-chan…I'm so sorry…" she said as she touched the window.

"It's okay Mako-chan…this isn't real…the evil is playing with your mind," the reflection of Usagi said.

"But how do I defeat the evil?" she asked.

"You have to face it…I believe in you. You are my protector and I know you can win," she said and the reflection returned to Makoto's. Only now she was once again Sailor Jupiter. She turned around and saw the youma her fears had created. If her fears had created it…then she was the only one who could defeat it.

"I'm not afraid of you anymore!" she yelled as she stepped towards it. With each determined step she took and her declaration of courage the youma shrank.

"SUPREME THUNDER!" she yelled and the youma disappeared. Her vision swirled and she felt herself fall. She had defeated the youma…hadn't she? In her room, Makoto's eyes remained shut in a peaceful slumber.
