Rated: PG (Violence)
Disclaimer: If I owned Sailor Moon, Seiya and Usagi would be together, Stars would be dubbed, Chibiusa would be Seiya and Usagi's future daughter, the Amazoness Quartet would be the Asteroid Senshi in the Anime and come back, and there would be more seasons of Sailor Moon! Seeing as how none of these are true in the show, I must not own Sailor Moon.
Chapter Nine
Fighting to Survive; The Light of Young Stars
HV took a small step forward. "Liam?" He turned his dead gaze to her, sending chills down her spine. But she kept going. "L-liam?"
Tiger noted the slight waver in her sister's voice and frowned. HealerVenus didn't scare easily.
Liam watced her approach, but to his poisoned mind, all he could see was the fuku, and her sweet voice was twisted and disgusting to his ears. That dry, cold voice passed unnaturaly from his lips once more. "I will destroy the senshi."
Wolf slowly got down low, ready to fight. "Not if I can help it.." she stated, coldly. Out of the corner of her eye she saw Fighter do the same.
Wolf growled and held herself low, prepared to strike. But HV wouldn't give up that easily. "Please, Liam, please, listen to me."
"No! My mission is to destroy the Sailor Senshi!!" he raised his sword high and brought it down infront of him. A beam of lightning energy shot out of it at HV. She made no move to dodge, stop it, or attack. She stood there.
"KAELA!!" Wolf and Tiger screamed.
Grim looked horrified from where he stood.
The beam hit her hard but she barely moved. She was forced back a few inches, her feet skidding, but no more than that. She winced a bit, but nothing more.
Liam stared increduously.
"I'm not gonna hurt you Liam.....never.." she whispered.
The green haired boy smirked. "Then you are commiting suicide." He lifted his sword once more and blasted again.
HV Was hit once more, and fell forward, catching herself with her hands. She was breathing heavily.
"KAELA!" Tiger ran forward to help her sister, protecting her if need be.
Liam held his free hand up and it glowed. A group of youma appeared around the group.
The Earth senshi formed a circle around the Chibi Senshi protectivly. Wolf looked from the youma back to Liam. "You coward! Why don't you just fight your own battles instead of having youma do your dirty work?!?!" she demanded.
The boy got into the same position she had been earlier, low and ready. "I'm only going to fight the semi-worthy opponents. Those are you, Sailor Moon, the Wild senshi, the Celestial senshi, and the Starlights. The youma will be more than a match for the Earth senshi and the Chibi senshi."
"How do you know so much about us?!?!" Fighter demanded.
Liam blinked and frowned. "I-I don't know...."
Hawk leaned in towards Wolf. "He still has some of his past memories!" she hissed.
Wolf set her face. They would get the boy back, just like they had Grim. But at what cost? Grim only snapped out of it when Fighter had nearly died again...what would it take to bring Liam out of it? Liam who was under even more control than Grim had been.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The youma were shooting strange orbs at the senshi. Doging them was not an easy task. One hit Pluto as she was getting Chibi Pluto out of the way of another orb. A purple sphere formed around her.
"Okaasan!!!" Chibi Pluto screamed and tried to grab her but her hand bounced off the sphere. Then, suddenly, the orb dissapeared.
"OKAASAN!!" Chibi Pluto screamed but an orb hit her, a sphere forming around her and she too dissapeared.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Wolf steped forward. "Do you really believe that you can beat us by yourself? Its 10 to 1."
Liam smirked. "Oh no its not..." four Liam's flickered and appeared to his left. Another four flickered to his right. He jumped forwards and another clone appeared when he once stood. "There. Now its even."
Liam, the original, chose out the one girl he had been fighting before. Easy target. He smirked. "Say your goodbyes now, senshi. You wont live for too long."
She stood alone now. Defenseless. The expression on her face was one of pity, and she said noting. He glarred at her. He hated pity. And he also hated silence.
HealerVenus raised her hand. She had to finish this now. Wolf'd be mad if she didn't.
Liam raised his sword. She was going to attack. Finally.
HV powered up, and aimed at him. But as she looked, she felt tears well up in her eyes. Her energy left her, and she fell to her knees sobbing. "I can't...I can't do it....."
Liam stared at her. She was crying.....but why? "H-hey now....what's with the tears."
"I can't do it Liam....I won't do it...."
He made a face. "Do what?"
She looked up at him, face tear streaked. "I can't hurt you, Liam. I just can't...."
Liam stared at her. "Why not...?"
She blushed through her tears. "Lots of reasons...You're Grim's guard...you aren't evil....I believe you can be our friend....and....I...I love you...."
Liam blinked. "Y-you wh..at...??!"
She looked down. "I fell in love with you the first moment I saw you...." The tears were starting to come more freely. She sobbed heavily.
"H-hey now...." Liam knelt down beside her. Something about seeing this girl cry was painful to him. He lifted his hand and wiped one of her cheeks.
She looked up at him, those large blue eyes of hers holding a strange look. Something he'd never seen before. She leaned in towards him and.....kissed him.....
He lost all breath. His mind reeled. All thought and feeling was lost but the sensation of the kiss. He actually....enjoyed it.......what....what was this feeling....
A scream and the kiss stopped. His eyes flew open in time to watch HealerVenus fly sideways to crash through a few boulders and bounce a few meters before skidding to a stop, motionless.
"KAELA!!!!" Venus screamed from where she was fighting a youma but a purple orb hit her and she dissapeared.
Healer punched a clone. "KAELA!!" she roared and shoved the clone through another boulder. She ran towards her future daughter but a clone sent her flying into Grim and they both were sent sprawling.
Liam stared in shock. First at HealerVenus' inert form and then at the space where Venus had been. Images flashed through his mind. Princess Venus from the Silver Millenium, HealerVenus gripping the front of his shirt after his first battle with Fighter. HV crying after she told him she loved him. The kiss...
"KAELA!!!!!!!!!!!!" something cracked and shattered inside him, his past memories all flooding back into his head. "K-kaela..." he whispered again and collapsed from exaustion.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Fighter dropped her stance and dehenshined to catch her breath as the clone she was fighting just faded away with a cry. Around her, the other clones the other senshi were fighting did the same and the others dehenshined as well. Then he remembered the other senshi, the Chibis, the Generals, Galaxia, the Princess, Chibi Chibi, Endymion and the Earth Senshi besides SM. He spun around but none of them were there and the youma were gone. He looked on sympathetically as Taiki walked over to where Mercury had been fighting a youma. Off to his right he heard a sob.
"Ami-chan...Rei-chan....Mako-chan....Minako-chan....Haruka-san....Michiru-san....Setsuna-san...Hotaru-chan.....Chibi Chibi-chan...Mamoru-san....Kakyuu-san...Hikari-san....Chibi-Puu-tachi...(Chibi-Puu and the others)" Seiya walked over and wraped his arms around Usagi. "Shh.....Odango...its alright..everything will be alright...." he whispered, stroking her hair as she continued to sob into his shoulder.
Yaten was holding Kaela, who had dehenshined after the impact, up and was trying to awaken her, Koran was there aswell, watching worridly as his father looked over to where Venus had been and quickly turn back to Kaela.
Julia and Locke ran after their father worridly.
"Hey, you alright Grim?" Keiko asked Grim as she helped him up. Grim blinked at her. "K-kei..ko?"
Keiko looked down at herself and sweatdroped. "I guess I used too much energy in the past few battles...." Keiko was now a little taller than Grim, about 12 or 13 years old and was wearing blue jeans and a black shirt with a dark blue jacket. She cocked her head. "Do I look so bad this way?" she asked. Grim shook his head, blushing a bit. The girl smiled. "This is my real age, but I decided to make myself older when we came so that I would look more serious about our mission and Uranus, and the other Outers besides Pluto who already knows me, wouldn't think I was just some little munchkin trying to be funny."
Grim nodded, smiling. "I like you this way! Its nicer to have someone else my age!" he glanced around. "Liam!" he exclaimed. Keiko followed his gaze. "Oh Kami!" she exclaimed and the two sprinted over to the collapsed boy. Grim shook him. "Liam! Liam! Come on! Wake up!"
Liam's eyes twitched slightly then fluttered open. "G-grim-sama...? And....Keiko Kou?!!" he exclaimed jumped back and landing on his head. "Oww....." Keiko fell over giggling. "This is my real age you idiot! Chibiusa will always be born first no matter who her parents are!!" she snikered. Grim sweatdroped as he helped his guard up. "You alright Liam?" he asked. Liam rubbed the back of his head. "Yeah....where...where is..Kaela..." he stopped and his eyes darted over to where Yaten and Koran were holding Kaela up. "Oh Kami!!!" he cried, leaping to his feet and running as fast as he could over to the three. "What...what have I done?!!" his mind shouted. He slid to his knees and took the girl from Yaten wordlessly. "Kaela..." he sobbed. "Oh Kaela...what have I done?!" he whimpered as a tear fell onto Kaela's face.
"L-liam....?" They all looked down to see Kaela's eyes halfway open. She was smiling at Liam weakly. "H-hey, it'll take more than one blast to take me out!" she said, puffing up.
"Oh Kaela!" he hugged her, shortly followed by her future father and her brother. She sat up, wincing. "Liam.... what happened to those fighting the youma?" Liam sat back and crossed his arms. "The senshi fighting the youma must have been captured...and...Grim and I can show you where Olivia's castle is."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The twelve remaining people on the planet stood on the ground, looking up at a floating castle in the sky. FighterMoon took MakerMercrury's hand. "This is it." she said. MakerMerucry took HealerVenus' hand. "The final battle." HealerVenus took Liam's hand. "The battle that decides everything." Liam took Grim's hand. "The fate of two worlds." Grim took Wolf's hand. "The fate of the Past, Present, and Future." Wolf took Tiger's hand. "The hope of those who aren't here." Tiger took Hawk's hand. "The hope of those who are here." Hawk took Maker's hand. "The faith of both those who are and aren't here." Maker took Healer's hand. "Those we have lost." Healer took Fighter's hand. "Those we have found." Fighter took Sailor Moon's hand. "Those we love." Sailor Moon took FighterMoon's hand to complete the circle. "Everything depends on us! We can not allow Chaos to kill our hopes and dreams!!"
