Part 14: Little Trip to Heaven
Lazy trip to heaven on the wings of your love, banana moon is shining in the sky, feel like I'm in heaven when you're with me know that I'm in heaven when you smile, though we're stuck here on the ground, I got something that I've found and it's you…
--Tom Waits
There was darkness, and also some faint shade of blue covering them. Outside was dark, with the exception of glowing lights that seemed to be moving randomly, and one on another side of the blackness, a greenish color that could only faintly be seen from inside the blue.
But I was dead.
Legolas slowly sat up, noticing that there was no more blood on the ground, but still a little stained his tunic. His knife was nearby, and on it's tip was the star-shaped ring of Mercury, the Mariner Ring.
The ring was around my heart. Did it stop the blade? But what stopped my arrow?
A gentle moan from below him caused the elf to look down and see that Sailormerucry was stirring slightly, and he moved off to let her sit up and look around the crystal. "Where are we? This is not death." She looked at him, noticing the knife he didn't conceal. "Shashu…did you follow me towards Death?"
Legolas looked down, then at Elenaithil's eyes. "I cannot think of how I would live without you, or knowing that you were dead by my hands, even if I didn't intend to have a blow be struck."
Mercury smiled and touched his hand, "We are alive, that is good enough. Now, we must think of what to do. The lights of the other Senshi are here, and I can see Pluto-san's."
"But the others can't," Legolas pointed out, both moving close as they stood up, "We should aim for that,
and then the others will follow our light."
Mercury looked up to the elf's face, a smile on her face, and he smiled back.
She was very much alive, and for that he was grateful. He leaned forward and
she moved up, and the two lips touched, sensations of kissing new to Ami, and
though they weren't exactly new to Legolas, this sensation of pure love, of
wanting and longing and a thread tying them together through time and space let
their love grow. The symbols of Mercury glowed on their foreheads, and blue
light flew up and towards the center, where the darker light of Pluto and her
intertwined hands with Boromir glowed brightly as well.

"Look!" Frodo pointed toward the bright blue light that helped to illuminate the darker green one as Yog-Sothoth cried out in pain.
"It's Ami's light!" Jupiter yelled out, and the group turned their powers towards there. Five lights, two golden-white, one pink, one yellow and one bright red, rushed to join the blue light.
*
"Hey, isn't that Elenaithil's light?" Pippin asked, pointing. The Outers turned and spotted it. They smiled, and the five new lights, one green-white, one with the shape of a star, one dark blue, one turquoise, and one dark purple, changed to go to the point where the Inner's powers already where.

"There!" Gandalf yelled, and the powers of the powerful ones, Gandalf's hue pure white, Sailormoon's a silver moonlight white, Endymion's a slightly golden color, Aragorn's the colors of Gondor and the Rangers, rushed forward, connecting with the colors of the Quartet, Generals, Gimli, Haldir, and Chibimoon and Elios. The multiple colors twisted into one huge strand, and hit the monster. It screamed, trying to move, but unable to, held down by Pluto's light and also by Mercury's light.
Finally, the light ripped the being open, and a huge explosion sent everyone falling down to the ground.
