THE LEGEND OF ATLANTIS
By: Yumemi
Chapter 28 - End of the Line
With that calling, Fuu, Hikaru and Cloud ran over to them(while Squall, Quistis
Pluto and Yue kept on fighting on) and placed themselves on their respective
places.
The four pillars, as soon as each was on their proper spot, suddenly glowed
with white light and Rinoa's blue cylinder of light was now filled with bright,
white light.
With all the brightness going about the place, all halted and looked as to where
the others were and they were surprised at what they saw: Each of the pillar's
bodies were outlined with a bright line: Umi's was blue, Hikaru - red, Fuu -
Green, and Cloud's was gold. And inside them, their elements flowed and it was
like they were made up of it. Umi's body was like water and it swirled and moved
about inside the borders of the blue light. Hikaru was like she was made of fire,
Fuu was almost invisible except for the bright green light that outlined her
features and Cloud looked like a statue made of brown rock. And in the middle of
all that, a bright pillar of white light was to be seen - hiding Rinoa within it.
As they were staring at it, Galaxia, Squall and Quistis didn't notice that Yue
and Pluto had slipped away and joined the circle until they were already in it.
Yue stood atop the symbol of the moon and Pluto on the stars.
Galaxia snapped out from her deep awe and started to head towards the circle,
planning to disturb them and ruin whatever they were planning. Unfortunately,
for Galaxia, Quistis noticed her and hurled her whip towards her. Her Save The
Queen spiraled itself around Galaxia and kept her from moving any further.
Galaxia felt the icy bite of the whip(as it was junctioned to blizzaga) and
she drew her own sword. In the blink of an eye, Galaxia slashed Quistis across
her stomach.
Squall saw this and immediately became enraged. He used his Renzokuken against
Galaxia and made a perfect AND he also used his attack: Lion Heart against her.
Galaxia hadn't expected this and actually had forgotten that he was even there
until he attacked. She tried to defend herself but she wasn't able to so she
recieved slashes here and there.
When Squall stopped, Galaxia immediately took advantage and in the blink of an
eye was inches away from him. Startled by this, Squall wasn't able to move. Then,
he felt Galaxia's hand on his chest, above his heart.
Galaxia fired a single ball of energy through his heart.
At first, Squall felt something warm pass through his chest. Then, he felt nothing
and he became light-headed and his vision blurred. He heard his Gunblade as it
clattered to the ground. His legs faltered and he fell.
The last thing he saw was Rinoa calling for his name, with an arm stretched out.
Galaxia moved ahead with caution. Just as she was about to touch it, Galaxia
felt a pointed object behind her. She turned around, then gasped.
It was Saturn, her Glaive pointed at her.
"I...thought..." she said.
Saturn didn't answer but just smiled.
Galaxia smirked and was going to dodge to the side but then, she felt a pointed
object to her left. She looked.
Uranus was there with her sword.
Galaxia looked to her right.
Neptune - with her mirror facing her, ready to attack.
One by one Galaxia saw the inner soldiers apper: Mercury, Venus, Mars and Jupiter.
And if that wasn't enough already, The Three Lights and Princess Kakyuu appeared
as well. Then Chibimoon and Chibi-chibimoon appeared.
"face your judgement." Chibiusa said, and pointed behind her.
Galaxia faced the circle again and then she saw that the bodies of the Pillars,
Pluto and Yue were all gone. The pillar of light pulsated and then it formed a
figure... a very familiar figure.
Sailormoon....NO!
Sailor Cosmos.
"Galaxia.. come back.." she calls.
Galaxia felt a warmness inside her heart. "I...." she starts to say, but words
were lost to her. Beads of tears form in the corners of her eyes and it overflows
and falls.
The outer soldiers put down their weapons as they felt Galaxia's star seed's
wamrth.
"Welcome home" Sailor Cosmos says, smiling brightly.
"I'm sorry.." Galaxia said.
"All has been forgiven." Sailor Cosmos replies.
The two embrace then a bright light shines from the two Sailors.
* * *
Rinoa woke up.
She recognized where she was at once: Balamb Garden Infirmary.
"I see your awake." Dr. Kadowaki greeted her. "how are you feeling?"
"better." she replied.
"Okay then. Clef is here to see you, but only for a moment, you hear?"
Rinoa nodded in excitement.
After a few minutes, Clef appeares and enters the room. "Hello, Magical One.
Concratulations!!" he said, embracing Rinoa. "Squall and Quistis are fine. I'm
sure you want to know."
Rinoa smiled at her. "Thank you, Clef. How about the pillars? Pluto and the
others?"
Clef gave her a painful smile. "They're gone now, with Sailor Cosmos. I'm
sure you know her by now."
Rinoa happy face frowned for a moment. Then she smiled again as she remembered
Sailor Cosmos' face as they met and shared bodies. "they must be happy now."
she said, remembering the happiness she felt when Sailor Cosmos was within her.
Clef smiled a genuine smile. "yes, they are. Emeraude and I will be following
them now."
Emeraude enters the room with a smile on her face. "Goodbye, Rinoa, our Magical
One. Do well with the powers that has been given to you."
Suddenly, the two of them starts to fade away.
Sadness crosses Rinoa's face then she smiles happily. "Goodbye, Clef and Emeraude.
Thank you for all your comfort."
The two smiles at her then disappears.
Rinoa looks down and frowns.
"don't be so sad." a voice said beside her.
Rinoa looks up and Sees Hotaru standing in front of her. "Hotaru!" she said,
smiling.
"Umi wnted you to keep this..." Hotaru said as she walks beside Rinoa, then
hands her Atlantis's Medallion.
"the medallion..." Rinoa says, breathless while receiving it, "it's so beautiful!"
"keep it as a memory of our friendship." Umi says, appearing beside Hotaru.
Rinoa looked up ad to her surprise, everyone was there - the pillars, Yue,
Pluto....and Presea.
"Presea...you're...you're..."
"Alive?" Presea finishes for her, "because of Sailor Cosmos' power, yes. Keep
the medallion well."
Rinoa nods her head, unable to find the right words to say.
Then one by one, they all disappear again, each saying goodbye, adressing her as
'the Magical One'. Finally, all were gone except Umi and Hotaru.
"You'll be going too, I guess." Rinoa said, sadness in her eyes as tears start
to fill it.
"we will" Umi replied, "but we'll alway be with you. Be happy and live your life.
....and practice conentrating better!" she joked, then disappeared.
Rinoa gave a light chuckle though tears were streaming down her face. Hotaru
then holds her hand tightly. "thank you for being there for me.."
"Oh Hotaru!" Rinoa cries, then she embraces Hotaru tightly.
Hotaru returns the warm embrace then breaks it. The two smile in silence as they
take one more glance at each other. Hotaru disappears.
Light from her window fills the room and Rinoa's somber heart.
"I'm sure they're happy now." a husky voice said.
"Squall." Rinoa said, looking at him. His chest was bandaged and so was his head.
"are you ok?"
"I'm doing fine, thank you." he smiles, "how about you?"
"better." She said. Then she stares at the medallion in her hands. "much better."
she mutters to herself.
