Chapter 8: AwakeningThe senshi decided to use sailor teleport once again to teleport to the Moon. From there they set out to find the dark palace.
"Got any readings yet, Mercury?" Jupiter asked. "I may have found something. It looks like the palace is a about a mile ahead. If we hurry, we may get there to save her," Mercury replied. "Right!" the other senshi, as well as Batman, who had tagged along, agreed.
"Look! It's the palace!" Mercury stated. Venus asked, "How do we get in?" Mercury scanned the palace. "Over there at the gate. But we have to keep our guard up scouts. I have readings of youma all around." Just as she finished talking, a youma attacked. "Jupiter Oak Evolution!" "Pluto Deadly Scream!" The youma dodged the attack and threw one of its own at the scouts. Batman threw one of his ropes at the youma, tying it up. "Mars Celestial Fire Surround!" "Neptune Deep Submerge!" The youma was vanquished on contact. "How do we break through the gates?" "Allow me!" Uranus said as she stepped forward. "Uranus World Shaking!" The attack smashed the gates open. "Let's hurry!" said Pluto.
Back in the astral plane, Usagi was talking with her mother. "I can't hold out much longer, Okaasan! I know I'm going to wake up! And then I'll be evil! This just can't happen!" Usagi was raving on about her awakening and being evil. "Do not worry my ojousan. The scouts are on their way to save you! And Terry is with them! They will get to you in time!" Queen Serenity tried to reassure her daughter. "Demo… what if they don't? What if I wake up? What if I'm stuck here forever?!" Usagi paced. "Oh how I wish I could wake up and breathe fresh air! My mind feels so clouded right now! I'm so confused!" Queen Serenity frowned. Her face too had a look of worry much like the face Usagi wore. "I just don't know if they'll make it in time, Okaasan…" Usagi said, more than worried. She was now frightened. She was worried about what she might do if she did turn evil.
"WHAT?! How could you let them get passed the gate?! FOOLS!!!!!! Go after them! Stop them!!!" Dark Eye roared. Takano and Keburi left on the double. Dark Eye stormed out of the throne room to where Usagi was. She lay on the bed, still sound asleep. He held out his hand and pour dark energy from it into her body. "I will have you awaken, once and for all!"
In the astral plane, Usagi suddenly felt very tired. "Okaasan!" she called out. Queen Serenity appeared to her. "What? What it is?!" she asked, sounding panicked. Usagi let out a groan and collapsed to her knees. "I don't know how much longer I can hold out!" Queen Serenity didn't know what to do. Finally she called upon the Silver Crystal. It's power surged through Usagi. She felt a sweet, serene peace overcome her. "Arigatougozaimasu…" she trailed off. She could still feel the evident evil energy, swarming around her mind, trying to take hold of her.
A small ghostly figure of the queen appeared before the scouts, as they were running through a hall in the palace. "Queen Serenity! What is the matter?" Neptune asked. "Usagi is unable to hold out by herself any longer. I am lending her my power but I will not be able to sustain her for very long either. You must hurry scouts! Dark Eye is clouding her mind with dark energy! Soon it will be too late!" As soon as she finished speaking, the queen vanished. "Come on scouts! We have to find her! NOW!" Uranus ordered.
They set off in a fast run, checking every room for a sign of Usagi but finding none. "She has to be here somewhere!" Batman shouted. Suddenly, two forms appeared before them. "You will never find her! Instead you will all meet your doom!" Keburi shouted. The two witches started throwing energy balls at the scouts. "Uranus World Shaking!" "Neptune Deep Submerge!" "Shine Aqua Illusion!" "Sparkling Wide Pressure!" The scouts threw out their own attacks as well. "Come on scouts! We have to get to Usagi-chan!" Batman threw down one of his smoke bombs, creating a cloud to hide them. "Come on! This way!" shouted Mercury. When the smoke cleared, there was no sign of them. "Where are they now? Dark Eye will for surely finish us off for this!" Takano said. "Let's get out of here!" Keburi said, and the two vanished.
Usagi winced. "I can't do it any more!" And her body began to fade. "No Usagi-san! You mustn't give in to him! You mustn't let him overpower you! You have to fight back!" the queen spoke frantically. "I can't…" Usagi said one last time before she collapsed. "Usagi? USAGI!!" the queen cried out. She kneeled beside her daughter and began to cry. She made a final attempt in using the crystal to sustain Usagi, but was failing, for Usagi continued to disappear.
On the outside, in the room where Usagi was held, her body began to move. She was trying to fight off sleep to awaken. "Yes! It's working!" exclaimed Dark Eye. The scouts came bursting through the door. "Get away from her!" Batman shouted. Dark Eye let out a menacing laugh. "You're too late! Look! She's already begun to awaken!" The scouts all gasped and looked on in horror. "No! This can't happen!" Mars shouted. "We'll fight you!" "Dark Dome Close!" "Submarine Reflection!" "Space Sword Blaster!" "Venus Love and Beauty Shock!" "Mars Flame Sniper!" Mercury Aqua Mirage!" "Jupiter Oak Evolution!" Dark Eye deflected the attacks. "Petty fools. You're no match for my power! And soon you will have to face hers as well!" He pointed to Usagi. The scouts saw a shadow, looming over her. "You see? I've won! There's no way you can defeat me now! Victory is mine!" "Not as long as we put up a fight! We'll never give up!" Mars shouted. "Yeah!" the others agreed. They all faced him. "Love and friendship can conquer anything! No matter what happens, we'll never stop fighting you!" "We'll just see about that!"
Dark Eye threw a large energy ball at two of the scouts. The blast struck. The scouts cried out. "I'll just take you down, one by one!" "Neptune!" Uranus shouted. "Venus!" Jupiter shouted. Neptune and Venus lay unconscious on the floor. "You'll pay for that!" Uranus growled at Dark Eye. He had a nonchalant look. He seemed amused with the site of the sailor soldiers falling, one by one as he planned. "Soon you all will suffer the fate you so deserve!"
A brilliant white light shown and they had to cover their eyes. But the light did not stay white. It darkened and faded to black. They heard a wicked laugh. Dark Eye and the others opened their eyes and turned to Usagi. She was standing and was wearing her princess outfit, but now it was all black with silver where there was gold. "Usagi!" Batman shouted. "Hime!" the senshi cried out. "She is no longer here. I am the Queen of Darkness!"
