Disclaimer: Sailor Moon or Escaflowne characters in this fanfic do not belong to me. I am just going to barrow them to make this fanfic.
Last Chapter: Amy and Serena find out Mina's true feelings about Dilandau while Raye makes friends with Merle. Dilandau comes to Fried and attacks Prince Chid for Mina in return. Once agreeing to go with the Dragon Slayer's leader, Mina battles with him alone in the woods where she is able to get her transformation pen back. But this combat leads to a strange ending. When Mina returns to the palace again the Zaibach Army attacks the kingdom. Venus and the Sailor Scouts protect the city by leading the Dragon Slayers to a clearing not far away.
Chapter 8: Brother to Brother
The battle was brutal. The beautiful kingdom once known as Freid was part in flames and part still standing; but barely. Venus had already taken care of the red guymelef, Dilandau and was already heading towards the clearing. The rest of the Sailor Scouts went to take care of the Dragon Slayers.
Jupiter saw Allan fighting one of the blue guymelefs. Their swords clashed into one another not holding anything back.
"Allan!" She called when she saw Scherezade tumbled over.
But she was relived when the white guymelef stood up again. Allan and the blue guymelef turned to the green scout when they heard her call.
"Lita, get out of here" Allan ordered when he saw her not far away.
"No Allan, Venus has a plan. The Sailor Scouts will take care of the Dragon Slayers while you and your men take care of the rest of the tanned ones."
The blue guymelef just stared at the thunder scout; not making a move. This gave Allan enough time to spot a tanned guymelef near by.
"Alright Lita. But be careful."
With that Allan piloted his Scherezade to the other guymelef, leaving the blue guymelef with Jupiter. Jupiter watched her lover go and then set her eyes on the Dragon Slayer.
Gatty was inside the blue guymelef as he stared at her, not sure what she was going to do. He knew that this girl had really special power since he had experienced it many times before with the other Sailor Scouts. Jupiter first glared at the guymelef and then a sweet smile spread across her face.
"Hello there" Jupiter as she still held her smile.
"Huh" Gatty asked as he was very confused.
He felt weak kneed just seeing her smile.
"Why don't we fight somewhere else huh?" Jupiter asked as she came closer to the blue guymelef and batted her eyes.
Gatty gulped as he was still confused.
"Come on big boy" Lita said as she motioned the blue guymelef to fallow her to the clearing with her index finger.
Gatty was first dumbfounded and didn't know what to do; but he soon gulped again and fallowed the thunder scout.
~~~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~~~
Mars looked around her. She saw five guymelef to her right fighting a couple of Allan's crew.
'I hope this works' she thought as she walked towards them, making sure she swayed her hips seductively.
"Hi there" she said flirtatiously as she looked up at the six guymelefs.
"Go aid the others" she told the crew member of Allan who nodded and left the five blue guymelefs.
"It's one of those Sailor Scouts" Shesta, one of the five Dragon Slayers, said.
"Hot chicks you mean" one said as they stepped towards her.
Mars gave them her sexy smile as she turned and ran away.
"Catch me if you can" she said as they immediately fallowed the fire scout to her destination.
~~~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~~~
Viole and Dellet fought one of the royal guymelefs as they and another Dragon Slayer teamed up on it.
'This will be so easy' Viole thought as he was about to plunge his silver sword at the fallen guymelef.
"Oh boys" a feminine sexy voice rang into the three Dragon Slayers' ears.
They quickly turned to spot Sailor Mercury lying on her side on top of a roof. She gave them her winning smile that made them all weak kneed.
"Why don't you come and play with me?" she asked as she winked at Dellet's guymelef.
Dellet blush instantly while Viole and the other guymelef got a bit jealous.
"Come on, let's play" she said as she stood up and ran towards the meeting spot.
The three guymelefs left the fallen royal guymelef while they fallowed the water scout.
~~~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~~~
Sailor Moon fixed her hair as she tried to look her best.
'Alright Serena, let's catch some Dragon Slayers' Sailor Moon thought as she saw three guymelef near by.
She quickly ran to them as she got their attention.
"Hey there hot stuffs" Sailor Moon said as she blew them a kiss.
"Hey, there's one of those sailor girls" Guimel said in his guymelef.
"Yes, now why don't we have some fun" Sailor Moon said as she batted her eyes.
She didn't feel very comfortable doing this because she already had a boyfriend. She sort of felt like she was cheating on him.
"Sure" one of the Dragon Slayers quickly answered as he took a step forward.
"Shit, why couldn't we get someone hotter then her" Miguel complained.
"Huh, what's that suppose to mean?" Sailor Moon asked offended.
"Well if you girls are going to flirt with us then why couldn't that hot chick Mina be the one?" Miguel asked.
Sailor Moon got steamed up.
'How dare that buffoon call me ugly!!' she thought.
"Well, if you fallow me then I'll lead you to Mina" she said a bit irritated
A smile crossed Miguel's face.
"Sure, lead the way globe head" he said.
'Oh he's going to pay' Sailor Moon thought as she fumingly walked to the field Venus was talking about.
~~~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~~~
Jupiter ran from tree to tree as she heard the Dragon Slayers' guymelefs' footsteps behind her. She was able to attract three more blue guymelefs away from Freid.
'Venus sure had a good plan' Jupiter thought when she saw the clearing up ahead.
She saw Mercury and Mars's Dragon Slayers heading to the same spot as well. She jumped higher and landed in the clearing, making her Dragon Slayers fallow.
"Shesta, Dellet, Viole, what are you doing here?" Gatty asked when he noticed his fellow friends.
"I was going to ask you the same question" Miguel said as he and Guimel reached the field with Sailor Moon, still fuming, leading the way.
Mars looked around to notice a certain scout missing.
"Where's Mina?" she asked her friends.
Their eyes wondered around the wide grazing land to look for Venus.
"Ah, there she is!" Mercury cried when she spot her in her vision glasses.
She pointed to a cliff not far away with Venus and the red guymelef fighting.
"O god, Mina!" Sailor Moon shirked when her anger went away and fear took its place.
~~~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~~~
Dilandau shot one of his metal claws at the blond scout but kept missing every try.
'She's stronger then I thought' his mind rang as he kept shooting is blows.
His blood was bowling inside after hearing her words.
'"I just wanted to say that you're a really bad kisser. You're the worst I've ever had"'
'That bitch is going to pay for saying that' he thought angrily as he garnished his teeth.
'Man, he's really mad' Venus thought as she tried her best not to get hit.
'I guess it was too much for him.'
She was referring to the false information she told him awhile ago.
"Dilandau, wait" she managed to say as she dodged his guymelef's sword.
"It wasn't true. I didn't mean it" Venus said panting as she almost got hit by her side.
"Will you stop?!" she asked screaming.
But the red guymelef didn't hold back. He still swung his sword and his silver claws at her.
"You're going to pay Mina. Nobody says that to me and gets away with it!!"
Dilandau shot his sword at her but Venus quickly dodged as she used her attack.
"Venus Love and Beauty Shock!"
The gold shaped heart aimed at the guymelef's sword as it cut it into pieces.
"Bitch!!!" Dilandau yelled as he shot his silver claws at her.
"Venus Crescent Beam Smash!"
The beam cut off all of the claws when it made contact.
"You're going to die!!!"
Dilandau used his final weapon, his fire blaster. He aimed it at Venus while she tried to get away from the flames.
"BURN!! BURN!! his voice rang from the flames.
"Dilandau, stop!!" Venus cried as she blocked a blow with her arms.
She felt the blaze touching her glove but she quickly put it out. Venus looked up at the guymelef and knew what should be done.
"Sorry Dilandau" she said as she got ready for her Crescent Shower.
"Venus Meteor Shower!"
Thousands of stars appeared above the red guymelef as it swallowed him whole. When the attack departed the red guymelef fell as it shut down.
"Dilandau" Venus breathed as she was worried she hurt him.
She ran out towards the fallen guymelef but was then stopped but Dilandau's swinging sword. He had gotten out of the guymelef when it fell and was charging at the orange scout.
"I'm going to kill you, you hear me!! I won't stop until your dead!!"
Venus felt a cut on her shoulder as the blade neared. Holding the wound she tried to get out of the way. Her eyes started to get watery as she saw pure hurt and anger in Dilandau's crimson eyes.
"This battle won't end until you're blood is on my hands!!"
Venus flinched again when she felt a new small cut on her side.
"Dilandau, STOP IT!!" She screamed as a tear fell from her blue eyes.
He charged again.
"Venus Love Chain Encircle!"
Her golden chain took hold of the sword as she tried to yank it away. But Dilandau's grip was too strong for her attack didn't conquer it.
"DIE!" Dilandau shouted as he pounced towards her.
"Venus Wink Chain Sword!" (I know this is only in the manga version but this attack would be very helpful right about now.)
The golden chain became shorter as it turned into a crystal sword. The two swords collided making a loud ring.
~~~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~~~
"Lord Dilandau!" Gatty gasped.
He and the rest of the Dragon Slayers went to aid their leader but was soon stopped by the Sailor Scouts.
"We can't let them past. This is Mina's fight" Sailor Moon told the others.
They nodded as they blocked the blue guymelef's path. But they couldn't help but fear for their leader's death.
"Let us pass!! Lord Dilandau will die!!" Viole told the girls as he felt anger inside.
"Well he deserves to die! That boy killed many innocent people and it's time for him to pay the price!" Jupiter shot.
"And you guys deserve it too!!" Mars screamed as she got ready to use her Mars Fire.
"Mars knock it off!"
The raven haired girl turned to the blue haired scout.
Mercury faced the Dragon Slayers.
"Mina's won't kill Dilandau. I promise" she assured.
Jupiter and Mars stared in confusion with the Dragon Slayers. Only Sailor Moon and Mercury knew about Venus's feelings for the young soldier.
Mercury faced back at the battle that was being held on top of the cliff.
'Now would Dilandau kill Mina?' she thought as she felt dread overwhelm her.
~~~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~~~
Falken looked down at the kingdom from the invisible floating fortress.
'Pitiful. All my men failed. And those weaklings Dragon Slayers didn't even kill those girls yet. It's time for drastic measures.'
Falken turned, making his cape make a flapping sound. He headed to the guymelef room as he stared at a black guymelef.
'Get ready Van'
~~~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~~~
Van demolished a tanned guymelef with his Escaflowne. He looked around to see Scherezade fighting the last Zaibach guymelef and the rest trying to put out the flames. But he noticed some faces missing.
'Raye, where are you?' Van asked in his mind.
His mind shot back to Dilandau and Venus. She had led the crazy boy away from him, saving his skin. He also noticed that the Dragon Slayers where gone as well.
'The Sailor Scouts must be fighting them' Van thought.
'Raye, you better be ok' his mind thought as he started to feel worried.
His decided to go look for his girl friends. But before he could make another move a metal claw shot near his feet making him stop dead in his tracks. Van looked up to see a black guymelef flying towards him.
'What the? I've never seen him before' Van thought surprised.
The black guymelef landed itself a couple of feet in front of the Escaflowne.
"Van, it's so nice to see you again" the voice from inside spoke.
"Who are you?" Van asked when he somehow recognized the voice.
"I'm surprised. You don't even remember your own blood?"
"What are you talking about?" Van asked as Escaflowne took a step back.
"My name is Falken Final. Prince of Fanella."
Van eyes shot wide as the information went in his ear.
'O gods, is this true?'
"No, it can't be. My brother died years ago while fighting a dragon." Van spoke, fear in his voice.
"That's what you think. But that boy didn't. He's alive and well and he's standing right in front of you Van."
Falken could tell his younger brother was speechless. Van hadn't said anything yet. He's just stared wide eyed.
"This can't be" Van finally whispered.
"You. You're working for Zaibach. How can you be my brother? You betrayed Fanella!!" Van yelled at the end.
"I know I'm a traitor Van. But I know I did it for good of all man kind. Zaibach is good Van. Not you worthless kingdoms."
Van tightened his grip on his controllers in the cockpit as anger started to boil inside him.
"I refuse to call you my brother. No, you aren't the same blood as me. My brother died years ago!!"
Van boosted his Escaflowne as he charged at his so called brother.
"You are right Van. Your brother did die on that day that dragon killed him. And now he became known as Falken Strategos, working for the Zaibach Empire.
Falken turned his metal liquid to a sword as he and Van dueled.
"I once believed in you! You were my hero Falken. Now you're rotten and your heart is black."
Van held back a cry when he felt a wound appear on his leg. But he didn't stop. He kept charging at the black guymelef.
"Do you have any idea how much pain you caused for your family?! For mother?!!"
Falken stopped as he recalled his mother.
"Father died that same year you went to fight that dragon. Do you think mother could handle all that pain? She even went to look for you believing you were still alive!!"
Van's eyes were watery as he also recalled his mother. When Falken was missing, his mother told him to never give up and that his brother was still alive. And his mother was right. Falken was still alive. But now he was a Zaibach soldier. So he was now an enemy of Fanella.
Falken was dumbfounded as he heard the news. He remembered his mother as if she was right there in front of him.
'I never meant to her you mother' he thought as a tear fell from his face.
But he shook his feelings away as he again had his grim face.
"There's only one why to settle this. We battle now and whoever wins will win the entire war. If you win Zaibach will surrender. But if I win, you all will have to bow done to me and my empire."
Van sneered at him.
"If that's what you wish" he answered.
And then the fight began. To Van's surprise, Falken was strong. But he wasn't strong enough. Van blocked his move as he smashed the side of the black guymelef with Escaflowne's knee.
"Van" Falken grimaced as he felt the pain.
~~~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~~~
Venus jumped away from the blade as her crystal sword made contact with it.
"Dilandau, let me explain" Venus said when she feel.
But she quickly got on her two feet as she blocked his move again.
"There's nothing to explain!!!" Dilandau screamed.
Venus's heart sank. She knew she could fight back but she didn't want to hurt him. She knew that she could probably kill him in a snap but she cared about him way to much. The tears feel from her eyes slowly as heart broke. She wasn't crying cause of the wounds she got but because that Dilandau was trying to kill her.
'I guess he doesn't care for me at all' Venus thought sadly.
She had only one thing in mind then. When Dilandau lunged at her again, she didn't move. She stood her ground as she felt the blade go threw her fuku and into her skin. She let out a gasp as the pain shot all over her body.
Dilandau stood in horror at what he did. He had never meant to kill her, just frighten her. The blood dripped down as she flinched in pain as Dilandau took his sword out.
Falling to her knees she let out "I'm sorry Dilandau"
Mina gave one last look at Dilandau as her crystal blue eyes shut for eternality.
~~~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~~~
"MINA!!!!" Sailor Moon cried as everybody else stood there shocked.
"Oh my god no" Mars stared wide eyed.
They saw there leader die right in front of there eyes.
"Mina. God no. Please" Sailor Moon cried as she fell to her knees crying.
"This can't be. He's going to pay!!!!!"
Jupiter was full with rage as her eyes filled with tears.
She headed towards the cliff swearing that she would slaughter her best friend's killer.
"Lita stop!!!" Mercury yelled as she lunged at the green scout.
Her tears fell on Jupiter's cheek as they both cried for their lost one.
"I can't believe he'd do something like this" Miguel spoke.
Even thought all the Dragon Slayers knew that their commander was bad they never really saw him kill anybody in front of them. Much less a girl.
"There's only one way to stop all this fighting" Sailor Moon whispered between sobs.
She looked up, barely able to see straight with her eyes puffy from crying.
She stood up as she held her hands near her crystal heart as it turned into the Imperial Crystal.
"Serena no!!!" Mars screamed when she saw what her princess was doing.
Mercury and Jupiter shot their heads towards Sailor Moon.
"Sailor Moon, don't do it!" Mercury cried as she got off Jupiter and ran to stop her.
But everybody's sight was blinded when a bright light shot out of her crystal. Sailor Moon then turned into Princess Serena of the moon kingdom.
"This is the only way scouts. The only way to put an end to all this bloodshed. I can not do this by myself though. Will you help me?" the princess's voice pleaded at her fellow friends.
"Let's do it Princess" Jupiter said as she took out her pen.
Mercury and Mars did the same thing as they circled around Princess Serena. Each scout raised their transformation pen as they called on their power for help.
"Jupiter Crystal Power!!"
"Mars Crystal Power!!"
"Mercury Crystal Power!!"
Green, red and blue lights shout out of the three Sailor Scout's pen as they began to glow around Serena.
"Moon Cosmic Power!!!"
Serena shot the crystal above her head as she closed her eyes.
"By the power of the moon, please help me destroy all evil in this world and make it good" the princess spoke.
"By the plant Mercury, help Sailor Moon" Mercury spoke as she began to change.
Her body shined white as her fuku skirt became long. She turned into the princess of Mercury.
"By the planet Mars, help Sailor Moon" Mars said as she also began to change into the princess of Mars.
"And by the planet Jupiter, help Sailor Moon."
Jupiter became the princess of Jupiter as she and the other three princesses started to glow white.
'Mina' Serena thought with all her mind as she concentrated her powers on her Imperial Crystal.
~~~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~~~
The sword fell as it mad a loud noise on the dirt. Dilandau stared wide eyed at the fallen girl near him.
"No" he whispered.
He fell to his knees as he held the dead scout.
"Mina no. I didn't mean to."
For the very first time in years Dilandau cried. His tears landed on Venus's face as he let them all out, not holding back any tear.
"I didn't mean to" he whispered again as he held her tight.
But to his surprise she started to feel warm. Dilandau shot his eyes open when he saw the colors pink, red, blue and green entered her heart as she then shined yellow and orange mixed together.
Dilandau quickly let go of Venus when he felt her being lifted out of his arms. The glow surrounded Venus's body as she stood in front of the soldier. Her eyes were still closed but the wounds she had gotten from him started to disappear around her body. Her fuku disappeared as her body blazed in white light.
After the light died a new dressed girl stood in front of Dilandau. The princess of the planet Venus. Mina slowly opened her eyes as she stared at the silver haired boy with her crystal blue eyes.
Dilandau was dumbfounded as he stared at the princess. But she then disappeared as she joined her friends at the bottom of the cliff.
"By the planet Venus, help destroy all evil in this world. Venus Crystal Power!"
Venus said her final words as Serena's Imperial Crystal started to do its magic. Gaea was then swallowed by a great big white light.
~~~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~~~
Will the Sailor Scout's power be enough to save Gaea? Will Van and Falken ever get along? And what about Dilandau and Mina? Hum. there's only one thing to do. Wait until I put up the next chapter. And that won't be long. ^_^

Falken looked down at the kingdom from the invisible floating fortress.
'Pitiful. All my men failed. And those weaklings Dragon Slayers didn't even kill those girls yet. It's time for drastic measures.'
Falken turned, making his cape make a flapping sound. He headed to the guymelef room as he stared at a black guymelef.
'Get ready Van'
~~~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~~~
Van demolished a tanned guymelef with his Escaflowne. He looked around to see Scherezade fighting the last Zaibach guymelef and the rest trying to put out the flames. But he noticed some faces missing.
'Raye, where are you?' Van asked in his mind.
His mind shot back to Dilandau and Venus. She had led the crazy boy away from him, saving his skin. He also noticed that the Dragon Slayers where gone as well.
'The Sailor Scouts must be fighting them' Van thought.
'Raye, you better be ok' his mind thought as he started to feel worried.
His decided to go look for his girl friends. But before he could make another move a metal claw shot near his feet making him stop dead in his tracks. Van looked up to see a black guymelef flying towards him.
'What the? I've never seen him before' Van thought surprised.
The black guymelef landed itself a couple of feet in front of the Escaflowne.
"Van, it's so nice to see you again" the voice from inside spoke.
"Who are you?" Van asked when he somehow recognized the voice.
"I'm surprised. You don't even remember your own blood?"
"What are you talking about?" Van asked as Escaflowne took a step back.
"My name is Falken Final. Prince of Fanella."
Van eyes shot wide as the information went in his ear.
'O gods, is this true?'
"No, it can't be. My brother died years ago while fighting a dragon." Van spoke, fear in his voice.
"That's what you think. But that boy didn't. He's alive and well and he's standing right in front of you Van."
Falken could tell his younger brother was speechless. Van hadn't said anything yet. He's just stared wide eyed.
"This can't be" Van finally whispered.
"You. You're working for Zaibach. How can you be my brother? You betrayed Fanella!!" Van yelled at the end.
"I know I'm a traitor Van. But I know I did it for good of all man kind. Zaibach is good Van. Not you worthless kingdoms."
Van tightened his grip on his controllers in the cockpit as anger started to boil inside him.
"I refuse to call you my brother. No, you aren't the same blood as me. My brother died years ago!!"
Van boosted his Escaflowne as he charged at his so called brother.
"You are right Van. Your brother did die on that day that dragon killed him. And now he became known as Falken Strategos, working for the Zaibach Empire.
Falken turned his metal liquid to a sword as he and Van dueled.
"I once believed in you! You were my hero Falken. Now you're rotten and your heart is black."
Van held back a cry when he felt a wound appear on his leg. But he didn't stop. He kept charging at the black guymelef.
"Do you have any idea how much pain you caused for your family?! For mother?!!"
Falken stopped as he recalled his mother.
"Father died that same year you went to fight that dragon. Do you think mother could handle all that pain? She even went to look for you believing you were still alive!!"
Van's eyes were watery as he also recalled his mother. When Falken was missing, his mother told him to never give up and that his brother was still alive. And his mother was right. Falken was still alive. But now he was a Zaibach soldier. So he was now an enemy of Fanella.
Falken was dumbfounded as he heard the news. He remembered his mother as if she was right there in front of him.
'I never meant to her you mother' he thought as a tear fell from his face.
But he shook his feelings away as he again had his grim face.
"There's only one why to settle this. We battle now and whoever wins will win the entire war. If you win Zaibach will surrender. But if I win, you all will have to bow done to me and my empire."
Van sneered at him.
"If that's what you wish" he answered.
And then the fight began. To Van's surprise, Falken was strong. But he wasn't strong enough. Van blocked his move as he smashed the side of the black guymelef with Escaflowne's knee.
"Van" Falken grimaced as he felt the pain.
~~~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~~~
Venus jumped away from the blade as her crystal sword made contact with it.
"Dilandau, let me explain" Venus said when she feel.
But she quickly got on her two feet as she blocked his move again.
"There's nothing to explain!!!" Dilandau screamed.
Venus's heart sank. She knew she could fight back but she didn't want to hurt him. She knew that she could probably kill him in a snap but she cared about him way to much. The tears feel from her eyes slowly as heart broke. She wasn't crying cause of the wounds she got but because that Dilandau was trying to kill her.
'I guess he doesn't care for me at all' Venus thought sadly.
She had only one thing in mind then. When Dilandau lunged at her again, she didn't move. She stood her ground as she felt the blade go threw her fuku and into her skin. She let out a gasp as the pain shot all over her body.
Dilandau stood in horror at what he did. He had never meant to kill her, just frighten her. The blood dripped down as she flinched in pain as Dilandau took his sword out.
Falling to her knees she let out "I'm sorry Dilandau"
Mina gave one last look at Dilandau as her crystal blue eyes shut for eternality.
~~~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~~~
"MINA!!!!" Sailor Moon cried as everybody else stood there shocked.
"Oh my god no" Mars stared wide eyed.
They saw there leader die right in front of there eyes.
"Mina. God no. Please" Sailor Moon cried as she fell to her knees crying.
"This can't be. He's going to pay!!!!!"
Jupiter was full with rage as her eyes filled with tears.
She headed towards the cliff swearing that she would slaughter her best friend's killer.
"Lita stop!!!" Mercury yelled as she lunged at the green scout.
Her tears fell on Jupiter's cheek as they both cried for their lost one.
"I can't believe he'd do something like this" Miguel spoke.
Even thought all the Dragon Slayers knew that their commander was bad they never really saw him kill anybody in front of them. Much less a girl.
"There's only one way to stop all this fighting" Sailor Moon whispered between sobs.
She looked up, barely able to see straight with her eyes puffy from crying.
She stood up as she held her hands near her crystal heart as it turned into the Imperial Crystal.
"Serena no!!!" Mars screamed when she saw what her princess was doing.
Mercury and Jupiter shot their heads towards Sailor Moon.
"Sailor Moon, don't do it!" Mercury cried as she got off Jupiter and ran to stop her.
But everybody's sight was blinded when a bright light shot out of her crystal. Sailor Moon then turned into Princess Serena of the moon kingdom.
"This is the only way scouts. The only way to put an end to all this bloodshed. I can not do this by myself though. Will you help me?" the princess's voice pleaded at her fellow friends.
"Let's do it Princess" Jupiter said as she took out her pen.
Mercury and Mars did the same thing as they circled around Princess Serena. Each scout raised their transformation pen as they called on their power for help.
"Jupiter Crystal Power!!"
"Mars Crystal Power!!"
"Mercury Crystal Power!!"
Green, red and blue lights shout out of the three Sailor Scout's pen as they began to glow around Serena.
"Moon Cosmic Power!!!"
Serena shot the crystal above her head as she closed her eyes.
"By the power of the moon, please help me destroy all evil in this world and make it good" the princess spoke.
"By the plant Mercury, help Sailor Moon" Mercury spoke as she began to change.
Her body shined white as her fuku skirt became long. She turned into the princess of Mercury.
"By the planet Mars, help Sailor Moon" Mars said as she also began to change into the princess of Mars.
"And by the planet Jupiter, help Sailor Moon."
Jupiter became the princess of Jupiter as she and the other three princesses started to glow white.
'Mina' Serena thought with all her mind as she concentrated her powers on her Imperial Crystal.
~~~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~~~
The sword fell as it mad a loud noise on the dirt. Dilandau stared wide eyed at the fallen girl near him.
"No" he whispered.
He fell to his knees as he held the dead scout.
"Mina no. I didn't mean to."
For the very first time in years Dilandau cried. His tears landed on Venus's face as he let them all out, not holding back any tear.
"I didn't mean to" he whispered again as he held her tight.
But to his surprise she started to feel warm. Dilandau shot his eyes open when he saw the colors pink, red, blue and green entered her heart as she then shined yellow and orange mixed together.
Dilandau quickly let go of Venus when he felt her being lifted out of his arms. The glow surrounded Venus's body as she stood in front of the soldier. Her eyes were still closed but the wounds she had gotten from him started to disappear around her body. Her fuku disappeared as her body blazed in white light.
After the light died a new dressed girl stood in front of Dilandau. The princess of the planet Venus. Mina slowly opened her eyes as she stared at the silver haired boy with her crystal blue eyes.
Dilandau was dumbfounded as he stared at the princess. But she then disappeared as she joined her friends at the bottom of the cliff.
"By the planet Venus, help destroy all evil in this world. Venus Crystal Power!"
Venus said her final words as Serena's Imperial Crystal started to do its magic. Gaea was then swallowed by a great big white light.
~~~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~~~
Will the Sailor Scout's power be enough to save Gaea? Will Van and Falken ever get along? And what about Dilandau and Mina? Hum. there's only one thing to do. Wait until I put up the next chapter. And that won't be long. ^_^
