Chapter Twenty-one - The final Battle
It was a mostly silent drive to the hospital, it was a beautiful day...
yet Haruka wasn't enjoying it. She looked at Max... no Hikari from the corner of
her eye, the paled haired boy was looking at the passing scenery silently.
Everything was so confusing, once long ago her destiny had been clear....
There was her hime... her koneko who she would guard with her life.
Then the darkness came and Usagi died in a way, she was reborn as Max...
and then finally Hikari. Yet there were no more lunarians to protect... her
destiny had been screwed over, yet she still couldn't hurt her Koneko.
She had to smile at that, even though this wasn't Usagi ... or her
princess anymore... Hikari still reminded her of a kitten... he was her Koneko.
"Hikari," she finally said, the boy turned and blinked... she had to smile
again at how like a curious kitten he looked right there.
"Yeah?" he asked, she sighed and asked a question that had been
bothering her since the time he had been Usagi.
"When you were Usagi... were you happy?" she asked, he sighed and looked
at her with eyes that darkened with some hidden sorrow.
"Yes and no Haruka," he said, she frowned not truly understanding.
"How so?" Haruka asked, he sighed and leaned back into a chair.
"I was happy with my life, I had a family who finally knew I was
Sailormoon... my brother Shingo was finally getting along with me also. But...
that was just on the surface, Mamoru didn't want a girlfriend or a wife... he
wanted a possession that he could order about and use anyway he wanted. But as
Usagi I loved him... but we truly were never meant to be, the inners and Pluto
never seemed to understand that I wanted true love... not someone from a past
life I really didn't like," Hikari said softly, both of them were silent for
several moments.
"I'm sorry Hikari, if there was a way I could of changed everything back
then," Haruka whispered, to her surprise the smaller passenger of the car gave
a small laugh.
"Its okay Haruka, there was nothing you could do to change the past.
Anyway I have Kagr now... our relationship can get very strange, yet I love him
with all my heart," Hikari said, at those words Haruka smiled... as long as
Koneko was happy she would be fine.
"Were here," she said as she parked the car beside the hospital, Hikari
nodded and got out. Then with a smile he headed to the door, with nothing to
do but wait Haruka leaned back and turned the radio on loud.
***
Hikari took a deep breath, he stood silently outside the door that led
to his fathers room. On the way here he had thought of many things, one of
those things was the worry his father would never wake up.
'Wait a sec what am I thinking, with my powers I can heal him' he
thought and the world seemed to brighten, with one last deep breath he opened
the door... and found himself looking into a familiar face.
"Dad," he cried happily, with that world he threw himself forward and
hugged the slim purple haired man lightly. Tears flowed down his face and he
felt like he would start to sob to, finally his dad was awake.
"It's okay Max, I'm awake now and out of here in no time," a voice said,
Hikari sniffed and pulled away from his father... his eyes widened when he saw
he returned millennium eye.
"Its back," he said startled, to his startlement his father smiled
softly.
"Two young men by the name of Bakura and Kage dropped by and returned
it, and told me many interesting things," his father said in a serious voice,
Hikari sighed and whipped away his tears... looks like things had just gone to
the complicated level with his father.
"Dad... I," he began, his father cut him off with a head shake.
"No need to explain... mind you I'm startled about many things, but
hopefully... your still my little boy," his father sad hope in his eyes, Hikari
smiled and hugged his father... he was so relieved that his father accepted what
he was.
"Thanks dad," he said, Pegasus motioned for him to sit down.
"Mind if I call you Max still?" his father asked, Hikari smiled... he
didn't mind at all and he said so.
"We have many things to talk about, like the fact that Kage said you
created the millennium items and aren't exactly human," his father said,
Hikari gave a nervous laugh.
"Yeah... some of that might be a little strange to explain," he said, with
a sigh he began to tell his father everything (in a shortened version of
course, it would take too long otherwise).
***
Pegasus blinked... and blinked again, max had just given his father his
life story... and it was a strange one.
"So, there's actually a light realm.... Is their any other realms out
there?" he asked curious, Max blinked and then smiled.
"Your taking this all well dad, and as to your question there are lots
of realms out there," Max said, he took a breath then continued.
"The realms I usually go to are the light and shadow realm... but as you
know there can be no shadows without darkness... so say hello to the dark
realm," Max said, he said in such a way that Pegasus had to laugh.
"I see you haven't lost your sense of humor," he teased Max blushed
embarrassed.
"Dad..." he whined, the holder of the millennium eye grinned before
becoming serious again.
"What will you do now Max, I know you have a big battle coming up... and I
want my Max to be safe?" he asked, Max sighed and looked out the rooms window.
"I don't know Dad, things are going so fast... I still have to talk to
Kage and I don't know if I'll have the chance... everything just seems to be
against me," Max said softly. Pegasus smiled at his son.
"Don't worry, everything will work out Max," he said, Max looked at him
then smiled.
"Thanks dad," he said, it was then that the pale youth froze and his
eyes went wide.
"Max, what's wrong?" he asked, he knew by his sons reaction that
something awful had happened.
"The darkness has come... the final battle is about to begin, dad I have
to go," max said looking at his dad sadly, Pegasus sighed but knew there was
no way he could stop max from going.
"Be careful," he said, Max nodded and then hugged him tightly.
"Dad. Keep this safe for me, in case anything happens to me," Max said
suddenly, Pegasus blinked noticing that his son was suddenly holding a slim
package.
'I want to learn where he was keeping that' he thought, if only the man
knew about the helpful thing called subspace pockets.
"I will," he promised, Max nodded and with one last look ran out of the
room.
'And remember to come back' he thought, he sighed and leaned back
against his pillows (he had piled them up earlier) wondering why the world was
going insane.
***
Haruka blinked when Hikari suddenly ran out of the hospital, she grew
concerned at the strange look on the boy's face.
"Contact the senshi, the final battle has begun in the middle of Domino
City. I'll meet you there," he said, then before she could say anything or
react he vanished in a flash of light.
"I have got to learn how to do that," she muttered, then remembering
what he had said she flipped open her communicator and connected with the
other senshi... they had a job to do.
***
Kage and Bakura froze and gasped, a feeling of darkness overcame them...
and they knew that whatever it was concerned Hikari.
"Hey, what's wrong?" Honda asked, the two halves exchanged glances and
nodded.
"Its nothing, but we forgot to do something," Bakura lied, Kage nodded
and soon the two were running in the direction the darkness was coming from.
"Wait up," a voice called, startled the two turned slightly to see the
familiar forms of Yugi and Yami running this way.
"You felt it to," Kage said, it was a statement not a question.
"Lets go," Yugi said, with that the four of them ran in the direction
they knew there friend was in.
'Hikari, hold on' Kage thought.
***
As soon as he appeared Hikari wished he was anywhere but there, the
place reeked of evil... the power was humongus.
"Kuso, this just isn't my day... or at least this reincarnation," he
muttered, looking around he spotted the source of the power.
"Tuxedo Kamen," he snarled, the lousily dressed dark haired Man was the
same as he remembered... except that he looked even sillier in that outfit (yes,
I am a Tuxedo mask basher, he just looks silly).
Hikari took a deep breath, he had known he would one day face this man...
a man he had supposedly been destined to marry when he was still Usagi.
'Time to end all this, time for this darkness to leave and never come
back' he thought, this darkness had made the inner senshi evil and Tuxedo
kamen... also killed innocents.
He felt sadness enter him knowing this could be his last hour alive, he
was powerful... but not all powerful.
He smiled though at the package he had left with his father, it
contained a glass orb that held some of his power.
It would restore Amy to life as a sixteen year old and good again, he had left instructions on how to use it with the package.
"I wonder, what will my destiny be now," he whispered, then with a bit
of power he changed his clothing to what he had worn in ancient times... a time
before Egypt. A time when he had lived with the gods, yet they fit him in a
way that everyone would say they were made for him... and they had been.
"Hello Tuxedo kamen," Hikari said, startled the stupidly clad man spun
around and so did his monsters.
"Who are you," Kamen snarled, Hikari smiled softly.
"I am Hikari, and like the inner senshi I will defeat you," he said
truthfully, Kamens eyes flashed in anger and he snarled.
"So you are the one that destroyed them, minions destroy Hikari," Kamen
ordered his monsters, Hikari sighed and summoned a sword in his hand. I looked
to be made of a fragile crystal, yet this was the strongest sword in
existence... the battle had truly begun.
"I pity you," he said taking a stance, as the first monster got to him
Hikari leapt forward.
Quickly he deflected the monsters attack with his sword sending it
towards another monster, it hit and that monster exploded into a red mist with
a horrified scream.
'So, these ones don't turn into dust when defeated... this might be a
little more difficult then I expected' Hikari thought as he blocked a monsters
thrust, then with a downward thrust of his sword he cut a monster in half.
The monsters body gave a sickening sucking sound as it was cut in half
and fell to the ground, blood sprayed into the air but managed not to hit him.
"Jupiter supreme thunder," a female voice called, three monsters
screamed in pain as they were electrocuted to death. Turning he smiled,
joining the battle he could see the inner and outer senshi.
'Good, better with more people to destroy the monsters' he thought, just
then a monster screamed as it seemed to be destroyed.
"hey, you didn't think you'd keep us out of this battle," a voice
teased, Hikari turned again and his eyes widened as he saw Kage, Bakura, Yugi
and Yami joining the battle.
"Never Koi," he said looking at Kage, the pale haired tomb raider gave a
sigh of relief knowing that h had been forgiving.
"Talking later, Hikari we'll keep these monsters busy... you go after Tux
boy," Yugi said, Hikari grinned and nodded.
"Thanks," he called to his friend, then in a flash of light he
disappeared and reappeared beside Tuxedo kamen.
"Surprise," he said, Kamen growled and pulled out a sword instead of his
usual cane or rose. The sword gave Hikari the shivers, it was made out of a
completely ebony metal and evil radiated from it.
"And your dead," Kamen snarled, there swords met with a flash of white
and black sparks (how black sparks are possible even I don't know).
"We'll see," Hikari said, Kamen gave a yell as there battle truly began.
***
Yami gave a sigh of relief as he killed probably his twentieth monster,
looking around he saw that there were only a few monsters still alive. He
wrinkled his nose in disgust as the smell of blood and death entered it, he
had been use to it in Egypt but now it made him feel sick.
"Dead scream," Pluto yelled destroying a few more monsters, soon there
were no more monsters to kill.
"Hey, where's Hikari?" Rei said, everyone looked around till they
finally spotted Hikari who was still fighting Tuxedo kamen.
"Whoah, that battle is intense," Venus said with a whistle, cautiously
all of them headed towards the two still battling.
***
Hikari knew Kamen was getting tired... well he was too, if he didn't end
this soon he would be totally exhausted.
'Got to end this now' he thought, then with a burst of power he leapt
forward... sending his sword through Kamens heart.
"Finally," he said with a sigh of relief, Kamens body fell to the ground
transforming back into Mamoru.
Then to his startlement the dread body's eyes snapped open showing only
black, the body began to laugh insanely... Hikari shivered.
"You thought you could defeat me that easy, I think not," the body said,
Hikari shivered for that was not the right voice. It was raspy and pure evil,
it seemed not to fit.
"Who are you," he demanded, the body didn't answer as black smoke
exploded from the body and gathered in the sky.
"I am Ender," the smoke screamed, Hikari could only gasp in horror as
the smoke solidified into a gigantic lizard like monster... one you only saw in
Nightmares.
'His power is enormous, one hit from him and all my friends are toast'
he thought with awe, he then turned to his friends and koi who had come near.
"Run you Bakas, one hit from him and there will be nothing left of you
but a memory," he yelled at them, they blinked startled that he had yelled but
knew he was right.
"But..." Kage said, Hikari sighed not wanting to say goodbye... this could
be the last time they ever saw each other. Quickly he pulled the other pale
teen into a passionate kiss, a promise.
"I'll be back," he said, Kage nodded and everyone ran for it leaving
Hikari alone to his fate.
"Looks like its just you and me bub," Hikari said, once he knew that he
was alone with Ender he let his human form revert to his true form.
"Ender, its time for you to meet our end," he said, the creature gave a
rumbling laugh seriously doubting that.
"Kage, I'm sorry," he whispered, he knew that there was a very little
chance that he would survive this battle.
He dropped his sword and it vanished back to where it had come from, in
his slim hand a beautiful crystal staff appeared made of the same crystal as
the sword.
"I do not know what my fate is, I may die here... yet I will make sure
your darkness is destroyed for eternity," Hikari said, he opened his angelic
like winds and they seemed to shine with the powers of the shadow and light
realm.
He then leapt into the air and flew, with narrowed eyes he sped towards
ender his staff held like a giant dagger.
"Puny creature," Ender screamed and he thrust an arm down, it barely
missed Hikari. Finally the staff's end hit Ender in the chest, Hikari didn't
stop till the entire staff entered the creature.
'Forgive me Kage' he thought as he himself entered the creatures chest,
then using all his power in his staff... he struck.
Ender screamed as his very being was destroyed, his body shattered into
a zillion shadows that soon ceased to me.
In the midst of this an angel of the light and shadow fell from the sky
his power spent entirely, as he fell his body shimmered back to its human
form.
Soon Hikari hit the ground with a thud his blue eyes dull, then... not
being able to help it his soul was thrown from his body.
Ender would not let this get away even though he was totally defeated for eternity, he made sure that Hikari wouldn't be happy either.
The now soulless body closed empty eyes, soon it fell into a deep coma
waiting for its soul to return.
***
In the hospital Pegasus gasped and dropped the glass he had been
holding, he knew right there and then that something truly terrible had
happened.
"Max," he whispered, closing his one normal eye he wondered if anything
would ever go right in his life.
***
"Hikari," Kage screamed from the place all of them had hid from Ender,
they hadn't been able to see the battle but he knew something terrible had
happened.
Quickly he ran back to where Ender and hikari had been, when he got
there he began to cry... Hikari was alive... barely. And it didn't look like he
was going to wake up anytime soon.
