Act 10
Ami stood motionless in the barren land that was once known as Ginger Town. She sat on her knees and prayed. ''Poor souls…you didn't deserve the horrible fate that many have…forgive me…'' Ami got up from her knees and wiped her pants. She gripped her transformation stick. 'I vowed to never use this accursed wand again. However…I have no other choice.' Ami held up her hand and yelled, ''MERCURY CRYSTAL POWER, MAKE UP!'' Chaos gasped and looked beyond in the distance. ''So Ami. You have come to seal your fate.'' She spread her black wings and flown full speed. ''It will be your last wish, guardian of Mercury!'' Chaos laughed and flown out of site.
Sailor Mercury stood in the same spot. The wind blew her blue hair, hiding her serious eyes and firm mouth. Her skirt rippled with each gust and her bow tangled along. The sun blazed with intense heat, and made her sweat on her forehead. ''So Mercury. We finally meet face to face?'' Chaos' voice echoed. ''Where is Saturn? Has she grown weak?'' Mercury kept her face ahead. ''I've decided to come alone. Without Saturn's help nor integrity of the fact that she might die.'' Chaos giggled. ''Such fowl words, Mercury. Yet…you seemed to be enhanced with hatred. Someone not pure of heart cannot defeat me. You have grown with the sin of hatred, and impure thoughts.'' Mercury grunted. ''You have grown with uncontrollable hatred. You are not pure of heart and will never be. For those you have killed with shed the tears of forsakeness. You shouldn't be talking about irrelevant things as such. I came here only to discuss, not to play your atrocious mind games.'' Chaos glared. ''Arrogance killed the other scouts, and you will die the same. Do not underestimate my power.'' Mercury laughed out loud. ''You absorbed the Silver Crystal and that power is not your own. You shouldn't mess with powers you yourself cannot comprehend or control.'' Chaos was beginning to get cocky. ''Foolish Mercurian! One you and Saturn are gone; I can destroy your beloved planet and the rest of the universe too!'' Mercury twitched a little. ''You can't for there are warriors whom are stronger than I. You haven't a chance. If I die then you will too. There will be no end to bloodshed. Nor will the innocence of those you killed. They will mock you for what you've done and you will be the one damned to hell.''
Chaos grinned with simplicity. ''Harsh words you speak. Your death shall be 10 times worse. I suggest you stop talking trash before you will die.'' Mercury faced her. ''I have no honor and will never listen to a cretin like you! You killed those who I loved dearly and I will never forgive you. I will be the one to kill you!'' Chaos laughed. (Like many times before.) ''Fine then. Meet me at my castle. Near Sagittarius…Zero Star. As before when Sailor Moon fought me. Be sure to watch you back too. I have many allies that will kill you. Be alert!'' And with that, she disappeared. Mercury detransformed as she looked blankly at the sky. Her wand lay on the ground near her feet. Ami glanced at it. ''Well…I guess I will be using you more till I die.'' She smiled at it and it glowed. Ami looked up and found to figures in the sky. ''AMI!'' one of them yelled. It turned out to be Hotaru, in Trunks' arms in the air. She jumped out his arms and landed. Her eyes filled with tears of joy. ''I'm so happy your okay!'' she cried, hugging her. Ami stood straightforward. Her face serious and her body stiff as a board. Hotaru looked up at her. She backed away and stood before her. They stared in eachothers eyes, hoping to find a sign. But, Ami let go and picked up her wand. ''So, you'll be using it soon…won't you?'' Hotaru said quietly. Ami nodded. ''Until the end…''
'' 'End'? What do you mean?'' Trunks asked suddenly. Hotaru looked at Ami then him. ''She may not be a descendent but she has the blood of Mercurian and has honor in her heart. She will fight to the death for her princess and vowed safety. Until she defeats Chaos, she cannot rest till she can.'' Trunks looked amazed and confused. ''You're a soldier, too?'' Hotaru nodded. ''I also will fight. Don't get in the way of our mission. You have no place but Earth to defend. Stay here and you will not suffer death.'' Trunks' eyes widened. ''You're going to…where?'' Ami shook her head. "We cannot tell you, for we wish none of you harm. We care for you and wish to continue in doing so.'' Trunks blinked then smiled. ''I understand.'' Hotaru walked up to him and kissed him. ''Good bye…sweet prince,'' she said softly in his ear. Hotaru walked away slowly. ''Hotaru…lets go.'' Ami said. Hotaru nodded. ''SATURN CRYSTAL POWER!'' ''MERCURY CRYSTAL POWER!'' Mercury and Saturn stood before Trunks. ''Good bye…'' Ami said. They held hands and powered up. ''SAILOR TELEPORT!'' They yelled and disappeared. Trunks sighed and touched his lips. ''I hope to see you again. Hotaru and Ami.''
People start their lives when they have someone to live for…other than themselves…
