Central Park, Tokyo, Japan
Sailor Moon stood at the edge of the fog,
"What have I done?" She cried out, "I'd rather just get rid of the damned crystal!" A figure approached quietly behind her, she turned around and her eyes widened,
"Mamoru..." She breathed. He smiled at her, but it wasn't a genuine happy smile, it was a cold, evil smile.
"Konbanwa, my love". He said, his voice low and husky, "I've been looking for you." Sailor Moon became nervous as he pulled a black rose from his jacket, he brushed his cape back and slowly walked towards her, holding out the rose, Sailor Moon took it, the petals quickly wilting. She watched as the wilted petals fell slowly from her hand to the ground.
"What do you want?" She questioned,
"You of course", he answered back. The bluntness of his voice made Sailor Moon flinch in disgust. Tuxedo Kamen held out his hand to her dropping an object in the process, "I want you to join me, to rule the Negaverse, to rid the world of good, I want you to be my princess." Sailor Moon digested the information, she decided to play along.
"What's the catch?" Tuxedo Kamen smiled again, making Sailor Moon shiver,
"Hand over the guinzishou", he said, summoning a warp hole...
Meanwhile...
"Cape boy..." Wolverine growled, able to smell the new villain, Sailor Mercury activated her computer visor and could see the warp hole,
"It's ok, I'm getting information on the different dimension".
***
Sailor Moon stopped herself from going in, she ruffled her wings,
"I'm not sure I want to go with you right now", Tuxedo Kamen nodded,
"I can wait", and with that, he walked into the warp hole and disappeared.
The fog disappeared, and the Sailor Senshi and X-Men stood tattered and bruised, except Wolverine, of course, due to his healing factor, Sailor Moon laughed at the sight,
"Let's get out of here, we'll talk tomorrow." The others agreed readily and helped each other up.
"What did Cape-boy say to you?" Wolverine asked, Sailor Moon became slightly nervous,
"He'll be back for me, you can be assured of that." Wit that Sailor Moon de-transformed and became just Usagi again, she started towards the group but stopped when a glint caught her eye, the object Tuxedo Kamen had dropped. Usagi picked it up and quickly pocketed it, continuing to walk toward the open area, which now consisted of burnt grass. "We better get moving before the authorities show up, I think it would be awfully difficult to explain how we managed to destroy half the park."
Apartment, Downtown Tokyo, Japan
That night Usagi stood outside of the apartment balcony, she looked up at the night sky and watched as the steam her breath made floating nonchalantly in the soft breeze. Her gaze shifted to the object in her hand. The star locket that she gave to her prince Endymion the night he left tho battle against Metallia's armies. She opened the lid for the first time and it's sweet melody played softly. She held her breath, it was the very tune she sang to activate her healing power. Quickly she shut the lid and closed her eyes, memories of her past life invading the memories of her present.
She could hear the uncomfortable shifting of her companion coming form inside, 'he's dreaming again' she thought to herself, worriedly. Usagi enetered the room, slipping the locket in a pocket, she kneeled next to Logan,
"Wake up", she said firmly, his eyes snapped open and he sat up roughly,
"What the hell?" He questioned himself, then saw his Usagi kneeling wordlessly beside him,
"You were having nightmares agin." His features softened,
"They came back more vividly, since I've discovered what happened." Usagi nodded in understanding,
"I know exactly how you feel. Listen, how 'bout I try healing your mind? I know Jean had dug something out your first night at the institute", Logan smirked at the memory,
"Alright, Usa, go for it". She smiled good heartedly and touched her hands to his forehead, her wings beginning to spread. She began humming her song, and for the first time her crescent moon appeared on her forehead, the symbol glowing brilliantly, her closed eyes twitched, Logan's mind wasn't lost naturally, this made her pull away and a deeply concerned look crossed her face.
"Your mind's a mess, Logan-chan, I don't know how it got that way, but Dark Winds must be brain washed you somehow...a lot like how Mamoru was brain washed by Metallia". This fact didn't bother Logan at all,
"I figured that Usa, it's alright, at least you calmed me down doin' that." Usagi smiled, colour flooding her pale cheeks, Logan touche the mark on her forehead, it glowed softly in response,
"What's that Usa?" He asked, she too brought her fingers to her forehead.
"I'm a Lunarian, remember?" He nodded and pulled Usagi into his arms, not giving her time to react. They wordlessly drifted off into a dreamless sleep.
Crown Game Center, Tokyo, Japan
Professor Charles Xavier sipped his teal, everyone gathered at the Crown Game Center, Matoki had opened early, they were the first ones there. Luna and Artemis were seated on Xavier's lap, Usagi was the first to speak.
"This is it. I've been waiting a thousand years to get my revenge, I'm not waiting another thousand." The others remained silent, Ami took the next turn.
"We'll have to go, as soon as Tuxedo Kamen returns, we've got one chance of getting through, there's no turning back." Makoto pounded her fist on the counter,
"Let's do it!" This upstarted noise, Professor Xavier held up his hands to silence the group, Luna spoke,
"You all won't be able to travel as one group, you'll have to pair up". Minako linked arms with Kitty, Rei and Jean whispered to each other, Ororo and Makoto have each other the thumbs up and Logan and Ami silently nodded to each other. Usagi stood up and quickly hugged the professor,
"Thank you, for everything you've done for me, this is what I was born to do, so I won't leave without saying goodbye." Xavier nodded,
"You're welcome, and good luck". With that everyone was off, Ami staying behind everyone, she kissed the professor on the cheek,
"you owe me a chess game when we meet again, ne?" Charles nodded,
"I will keep the chess board ready."
Down Town Tokyo, Japan
Malicite watched as Sailor Moon flew overhead and came down towards him,
"Where's Tuxedo Kamen?" She demanded, Malicite gave her a sour look, and motioned fo9r her to come with him, "I don't trust you", Sailor Moon stated stopping Malicite in his tracks,
"Smart girl", he said, "although I too have been enchanted by your beauty, I have no interest and see no point in keeping you alive". Sailor Moon snorted in response.
"I'll wait for the next ride". Malicite summoned a warp hole, and walked through, not looking back. The others came up behind and Sailor Moon made a split decision, she turned abruptly towards Jean,
"you guys can't come, just me and my senshi", the others began protesting loudly, "you guys are in too much danger already". Jean shook her head,
"You're an X-Men and always will be, we fight as a team", Sailor Moon sighed in defeat,
"Ok, but if it gets too dangerous, you turn right back." The X-Men nodded in agreement. With that the worlds' protectors walked through the door way to the Negaverse, a snow storm greeted them, Storm used her mutant power to force the snow to fly in opposite directions, clearing a path in which Sailor Mercury scanned on her computer.
Meanwhile....
Metallia watched as the Sailor Senshi and the X-Men made their way to her dark castle, ehr anger grew rapidly, she knew very well who the winged girl was, but she wasn't about to lose her kingdom. Metallia summoned several youmas, her best and most powerful,
"I want them all dead", she instructed bluntly, "except the princess, bring her to me", she smiled if she could brainwash her too, her mutation could prove to be a most helpful asset. The youmas dispersed out into the cold blizzard and began their game of separation.
****
"We've got company", Wolverine said, smelling the youmas, "there's a lot of them too". A couple of youmas swooped down making everyone duck,
"Time to split up", Sailor Moon commanded, everybody else complied, grabbed their partners and separated quickly, Sailor Moon kept moving forward.
****
Approximately ½ hour later...
Sailor Moon stood at the edge of the territory where the snow stopped and cold rock remained, she could see what appeared to be a fortress and guessed this is where she would find her enemy. She turned about hearing heavy breathing and faulty footsteps. All of her X-Men were there, but two out of four senshi were gone.
"Minako saved my life", Shadowcat said wiping a tear from her dirty cheek, "one of those monsters sent an energy blast, and she took the hit for me, she died." Shadowcat was hugged Jean who kept her eyes set on Sailor Moon, who looked towards Storm,
"The monster didn't conduct electricity, I couldn't do anything to save Makoto, she died almost instantly, Storm had an easier time at keeping her grief hidden. Sailor Moon could tell she was very upset. She motioned towards Sailor Mars and Mercury, who came questioningly towards their leader. Sailor Moon smiled at her companions,
"Time for you to leave X-Men", Jean and Sailor Mars shared a telepathic good-bye, before the two senshi headed on slowly, Sailor Moon pulled on her brooch and became plain Usagi Koga again, she hugged Shadowcat,
"Say good bye to Rogue for me", Shadowcat looked at her questioningly, but turned and headed slowly into the blinding snow. Usagi then hugged Storm, "I expect you to keep your garden in tip-top shape", Storm smiled and nodded, turning to join Shadowcat. Then Usagi turned towards her first female friend that she had made since her start with the X-Men. The two women hugged silently, tears welded up in Jean's eyes, "you were like a mother to me, Jean, Scott's lucky to have you", Jean wiped away a protruding tear.
"Syanora, Usagi-san", she said in rough Japanese, " you'll always be in my heart", with that the red-headed Jean Grey turned and disappeared in the snow. This left only one more good bye, probably her most difficult, her face colored brightly, she didn't know what to say at first.
I just wanted you to comfort me
when I held you late last night you see
I was fallin' into love
oh yes, i was crashin' into love
oh of all the words you sang to me
about life, the truth and bein' free yeayou sang to me, oh how you sang to me
"I must be what they call 'unlucky in love', you've barely been mind, and now you're leaving", Logan stated softly, making Usagi's heart ache.
girl I live off how you make me feel
so I question all this bein' real
cuz I'm not afraid to love
for the first time I'm not afraid of love
"Logan-chan", using her pet name for him, she continued, "I know now that if I use all the guinzishou's power, it'll kill me". Logan frowned at that,
"Good use of words, Usa".
"I know that I always come back when I'm needed, and this time, I'll be put in the right Japanese family...promise me..."
oh, this day seems made for you and me
and you showed me what life needs to be
yea you sang to me, oh you sang to me
all the while you were in front of me I never realized
I jus' can't believe i didn't see it in your eyes
I didn't see it, I can't believe it
oh but I feel it
when you sing to me
how I long to hear you sing beneath the clear blue skies
and I promise you this time I'll see it in your eyes
I didn't see it, I can't believe it
oh but I feel it
when you sing to me
"If I do come back, I'll have no recollection of my past life, I'll be normal, not a mutant or Sailor Moon....promise me you won't come after me, I want a chance at a normal life...promise me".
just to think you live inside of me
I had no idea how this could be
now I'm crazy for your love
can't believe I'm crazy for your love
the words you said you sang to me
and you showed me where I wanna be
yea you sang to me, oh you sang to me
Logan sighed in defeat, he wouldn't question her request, even though he knew very well that he couldn't do it. He looked at her and nodded. Usagi let herself be drawn hastily into a kiss, her crescent moon appeared on her forehead, which made them separate. She smiled,
"Time for me to go save the world." She said, and started walking away, but then again stopped. She turned around to see her love one last time, Logan watched silently, she picked up the long skirts of her princess gown, giggled and headed forward again.
Apartment, Downtown Tokyo, Japan
Logan looked around and was certain that all traces of Usagi had been removed, specifically by Jean, the X-Men were leaving that day, and waited to bid farewell to the Sailor Senshi, who they had grown attached to the last days they'd been together. Satisfied, Logan pulled his leather jacket on, slipping his hands casually in his pockets, he stopped when he felt something sitting on the bottom of one of the pockets. He pulled out a golden star-shaped object, he opened the lid and a soft melody began to play, the song was Usagi's, the one she sang to him. He hurried to the temple, where the rest of the X-Men were, and he approached Professor Xavier,
"I'm going to stay in Tokyo for a little while longer, there's still some people I wanted to see." The professor nodded,
"Alright, be careful, though." Logan nodded, and separated from the X-Men for the second time.
****
Princess Serenity was nearly completely drained of her power, she was using the crescent moon wand to fight the evil Metallia, who was just as strong. Serenity closed her eyes, and pictured the people closest to her, she begged them for their help. Suddenly she could feel hands atop of hers, she opened her eyes, and sensed the spirit of her now all deceased senshi, the added power helped her, and with a last burst of strength, Metallia was destroyed, for good. The content princess collapsed, and slipped off into a warm void.
