Whoa… chapter eight already. I'll try an make it longer.
Same disclaimer
Same time, place ect…
Last time
He pushed his hair back with one hand, and nodded his head, accepting it.
Pluto closed her eyes, holding her time staff over his bowed head.
Nothing happened, there was no fireworks display, only a chill that ran through the air.
The Shinigami had returned.
Pluto bowed to him as he disappeared, teleporting himself to the moon.
"Good luck.." She whispered to the emptiness
Present
Saturn and Queen Serenity stood facing each other, no one wanted to go first, each
believing the other would give out first and lead the attack.
Trowa, Quatre and Heero hoped this would stay the case till the others returned.
'Come on Serenity, attack! I'm not going to, I won't. I must wait for my Princess.' The
thoughts ran
through Saturn's head. ' I can't
let her win..'
Sailor Moon and Sailor Venus ran as fast as they could toward the mansion, hoping
they'd make it in time.
They didn't know who was just arriving on the moon.
~~~~Change place~~~~
Duo arrived on the moon and looked around in utter despair at the sight, the once
beautiful castle was in ruins, the moon's surface around it was filled with craters from
the attack. But the saddest part was the black light emanating from the halls of the only
standing wing, the in-door garden. It was once filled with fresh clean sunlight, now it
stood in the shadow.
He walked up to it, and heard his name being called, quiet at first, then louder as he
drew near.
"Duo….Duo… Duo…come forth Shinigami, so that I may see your face before killing
you."
Duo looked upon the owner of this voice, a sick look on his face. Endymion.
"You have come to kill me, have you not Shinigami?"
"Yes, I have." Duo acknowledged quietly. Endymion smirked.
"Having second thoughts yet?"
"Never," Endymion was slightly surprised by this answer, but tried not to show it.
Duo caught it however, ' Maybe I could use that to my advantage,
he's underestimating
me.'
"Are you ready to face me?" Endymion asked coldly. Duo nodded.
Endymion drew his sword out of is sheath, Duo materialized his Scythe.
"Let us begin."
Endymion lunged at Duo, slashing with his sword. Duo avoided it, and parried with his
scythe.
Endymion jumped back, spinning, he slashed again, aiming for Duo's back. Duo moved
just in time to save his life, but blood trickled down his back, staining the white shirt he
wore, where the sword had touched his flesh.
He winced.
"You are to slow." Endymion chided.
Duo charged, circling his scythe to come down on Endymion's neck.
Endymion ducked below, and thrust with his sword, trying to impale Duo.
Duo disappeared in front of his eyes. "huh.."
Duo reappeared behind him, slicing his back in the same manor, as Endymion had him.
Endymion fell on his knees in pain. "Now who is slow?" Duo mocked him.
Endymion glared and stood up.
"Now it's time to play with the big boys.." Endymion growled.
He jumped into the air, gathering a dark light into his palm.
Duo narrowed his eye… 'He's picked up some new tricks I see.' He thought, and
braced himself.
"Say goodbye!" Endymion yelled and unleashed the attack.
Time slowed… the black flame slowly hovered it's way to Duo, Sailor Saturn now in
front of him.
She spun to face him, then pushed him ahead, "Remember…" Duo nodded.
The tip of her glaive rested in between his shoulder blades, and he held his scythe out.
They each chanted something incomprehensible. A yellow light formed at the tip of his
scythe no bigger than a baseball.
The ball of black flame hit it, and fell harmlessly to the ground like ashes.
"Thanks.." He whispered to Saturn before she disappeared.
"Cheaters never prosper, you know she won't be able to help you next time by doing the
cheap duet." Endymion smirked landing on the edge of an old fountain .
"Yes, so maybe I'll have to try something else, I have a few moves in my repertoire
collecting dust, maybe it's time I revive them." Duo countered.
"Maybe…maybe.."
~~~Change place~~~~
Saturn still stood in front of Queen Serenity by the time Sailor Moon and Sailor Venus
arrived.
Queen Serenity smiled at the sight of her daughter, her next intended victim.
Sailor Moon looked on her mother with pain filled eyes, and a question lingered on her
lips.
"Why?"
"What do you think my dear daughter? Was it greed? Ambition? The safety of my little
girl?"
Sailor Moon flinched at the last. "Power.." She said quietly to herself.
"Yes.." Queen Serenity caught it. "But power alone is nothing. All the great enemies
before just wanted power, that's where they went wrong. See… I also did it for love."
Queen Serenity smiled at the pain in her daughter's expression. "Love is the perfect
ambition, the perfect motivation, power, is the secondary goal."
"Do you really love him?" Sailor Moon asked. Queen Serenity froze.
"Can you really love him?"
"What'd not to love.." Her mother answered her in a sly, sick, lusty voice.
The others around stood listening to the poison Queen Serenity spoke with sick ears.
Venus glared, and Saturn looked ready to impale her past queen at any moment.
"He's nothing but a shell.." Sailor Moon said in a sad voice, "Just like you, a shell to
your lust and greed. You aren't my mother."
"Maybe so, but we are happy, and will be even more so when we take over Crystal
Tokyo."
The rest looked confused, but Saturn's gazed focused on a spot in space. She
disappeared without a word of warning.
"Saturn!" Venus called.
"She has gone to help Shinigami." Said a familiar voice.
"Sailor Uranus, Neptune." Sailor Moon whispered. They nodded.
"How sweet, more Senshi to add to the mix." Queen Serenity mumbled.
"Let's get this over with."
Sailor Moon took a fighting stance, Sailor Venus, Uranus and Neptune behind her did
the same.
"So you are going to fight? Why not just merge with me Sailor Moon, it won't be
painful, I promise."
Again She looked confused.
"What do you mean?" She asked.
"In order for her to take the throne of Crystal Tokyo she must merge with you, so she has
your life pattern and the crown will accept her." Sailor Saturn told them returning in the
blink of an eye.
"You knew!" Sailor Moon accused. Saturn nodded her head.
"She killed me before I could warn you." She answered.
The Sailor's look at her with regret in their eyes.
Then their leader turned to Queen Serenity.
"I will never allowed you to take the throne and rule this now peaceful world!" She
cried, emotion running high in her voice.
"Uhuh? Well then, let's see if you can stop me."
~~~Change place~~~
Setsuna stood on the edge of the room where Duo and Endymion were fighting.
She wasn't here to help, merely watch and summon a Sailor if he needed help.
Things looked like they were going smoothly.
"Not bad." Duo commented as Endymion shot another dark energy ball at him.
He batted it away with his scythe.
" But two can play at that game." He said, and his scythe disappeared.
And he put his hands out, laying against each other, fingers extended.
A yellow light began to circle them, making a cocoon.
Endymion furrowed his brows.
Duo slowly turn his hands so that they were laying horizontally next to each other, the
light still circling, reinforcing it's self.
He spread his hands, and looked at
Endymion, 'why doesn't he move? He's letting me
have to
advantage by not taking me while me power is focused else where, he really is a
fool.'
A circular beam of light of light traveled from his hands, and hit Endymion in the chest.
Endymion still in a trace fell to the floor, not even realizing what had happened.
Duo walked over, his hands still out surrounded by the light.
Then he looked at Setsuna, "Is he dead?"
She nodded. He bowed his head.
"There was no way to save him, not even with that attack." She told him. He nodded.
Duo bent over Endymion, still expecting to see his black eyes flickering.
As he was once again the Shinigami he chanted a short prayer, and Endymion's body
disappeared.
"How are things on earth?" He asked.
"Stable. I think thing's are under control for the moment. Are you going to?" She
asked.
"Yes."
They both disintegrated.
~~~~~Change place~~~~
Setsuna transformed back into Sailor Pluto, and turned to watch the times lines. Trying
not to gaze into the future, though it was so tempting.
"I wish I could." She mumbled to herself.
~~~~Change place~~~
"Moon Tiara Action!" Sailor Moon screamed, sending the tiara flying at her mother, who
was looking at her pitilessly
It skimmed Queen Serenity's cheek and drops of blood appeared on the surface.
"You have to do this Sailor Moon, no holding back even though she is your mother!"
Sailor Uranus yelled.
"She will never be able to, so why bother trying!" Queen Serenity said. Her dagger in
between her folded hands. She turned it horizontal, the tip pointing at Sailor Moon's
heart.
"Lunar Death….impale…" Queen Serenity shouted the first two words, but slowed, and
lowered her voice for the last.
End Chapter
ok, it was longer. I'm to good at action, but I think it was ok.
The next chapter might be the last, but if any of you want me to continue, building up the
romance, and maybe bring in the Gundam's and the rest of the sailor's I'll start a part
two or something.
as always R&R
