I know I haven't written in a while but I'm not busy anymore meaning I HAVE
TIME NOW! Which means I can write and post to my hearts content and please
all you happy pappy readers out their! Well enough of my rambling and on
with the story.
Where we left off in the story:
I'm sorry Serena for hurting you but you have to know," he coughed several times and Serena's worried gaze fixated on him, "I love you."
"Darien! I love you too!" Serena felt the tears fall from her face onto his pale cold face and the ground. "Hey," she paused and stroked his flushed cheek and then carefully wiped the blood from his mouth, "You can call me Meatball head if you want."
"I'd like that. I'll find a way back to you meatball head." He whispered softly as his eyes closed for the final time.
Sailor Moon cradled his body close to her own from. She began to rock back and forth as her tears openly fell onto the body of her love. Prince Endymion's form glimmered once with gold light before Darien's from replaced it. A scarlet red rose was resting beside him and she knew that he would find a way back too her. Serena carefully bent down and pressed her warm lips to his cold ones. "I will wait for you my prince."
"Such a pity." Beryl hissed as she raised to her full height near the throne.
"You evil witch!" Sailor Moon cried as she gently lowered Darien's head to the ground. Despite her energy loss and her injuries she stood, turned and faced Beryl with an evil glint in her eye.
"Care to deal with me? I mean after all, my generals have died because their master died. Oh wait, he wasn't just their master he was your love wasn't he?" She raised a perfect eyebrow and Sailor Moon's eyes flashed with anger.
"Then lets get this fight over with." Sailor Moon countered as she moved into fighting position.
"Agreed!" Beryl replied as she gathered an energy ball into her hands.
Beryl launched the energy ball with a might and it flew towards Sailor Moon with alarming speed. 'No one to save you now Serena except yourself.' She threw herself out of the way and smiled as the ball exploded on contact with the spot that she had just been standing in.
"It's gonna take more than that to beat me Beryl!" Sailor Moon taunted as her eyes hardened with a determination she had never known she possessed before this moment.
Beryl shook with rage at the comment and immediately began building an even larger blast of energy to hurl. "Then I'll just give you more!" She chucked the blast at Sailor Moon and smiled in satisfaction as she saw Sailor Moon's frightened face be surrounded by dust.
"That was too easy." Beryl smiled wickedly as she sarcastically walked back to her throne and back to Metallia. She paused at Darien's crumpled form. "We could have been good together my love. You made your choice and unfortunately for you it was the wrong one. Now she has paid the price as well! The Negaverse has triumphed!"
Millions of demon and youma's voices filled the stone castle. The walls began to shake with the waves of force and soon rocks were falling from the ceiling and crumbling once they hit the ground. Beryl laughed wickedly as the ceiling fell in completely crushing all around her but never touching her for she had placed a forcefield around herself. She slowly lifted herself up to fly through the hole in the roof. The winds were thrashing around in the cold stone place and her flaming red hair was whipping around her face with vengeance. Every ounce of her body reeked power and evil.
"No it hasn't!" a faint voice called from the shadows.
"Oh really?" She asked with a sarcastic smile. She slowly turned in mid air to look for the offending and stubborn girl who was partially buried beneath some heavy boulders. Their were cuts strewn about her face and blood plastered her hair to her skin and it soaked through her uniform turning it crimson red.
"You will never win Beryl no matter what you do! Good can not be overcome by evil no matter how bad it seems! You shan't win this fight! You will not destroy this world because I won't let you! The only way to win is through my dead body!" Sailor Moon screamed. She squeezed her eyes shut in pain as she tried to shift her weight and untangle herself from the rock mess.
"Oh really? Well your death can easily be arranged!" Beryl hollered as she threw the largest ball of energy yet. It hit Sailor Moon's struggling body square on and Beryl smiled wickedly at her tortured niece's scream of pain.
Softly she floated back down and landed about several feet from her. With delicate steps she walked to Sailor Moon and raised one eyebrow, "Not so tough now are you Serenity?" she mocked with a spark of danger in her eye.
Sailor Moon continued to struggle against the weight of the rocks that were slowly crushing her body. From the blood loss she could feel herself slipping into the murky depths of unconsciousness. Her pale blue eyes began to close when Beryl suddenly slapped her hard on the cheek to keep her awake.
"No one doesn't pay attention to me! Now listen good girl for I want these to be the last words you will ever hear." Beryl daintily sat on a boulder as if she were the all mighty goddess who just descended to Earth.
"You're mother, my sister, was a fool beyond all fools. She could not see the dangers that she brought her kingdom too. It should have been my kingdom for she was such a horrid ruler. She was born first, lucky for her for if I was born first she would have been killed the moment she was born. I came second and was treated as dirt. Do you know how it feels to have everyone look at you like you don't exist?" She paused and glared at Sailor Moon who had tears running down her face. "No I highly doubt you do because you are just like her. The time came for her coronation and I was present and my sister smiled at me. She smiled at me not knowing the torment I was going through! How cruel could she be? She knew I loved the throne and wanted it and yet she smiled at me without a care in the world."
Beryl paused and crossed her legs as a proper lady would. The slit of her dress rode up to her thigh but she ignored it and continued with her vengeful story. "She ruled for years and yet everyday I hoped she would die or give up the throne because I could see she wasn't happy. I on the other hand waited slowly for my chance. Men courted me but I never took an interest. Why should I? They would grow old and die and I would forever be ageless, I saw no point in having a relationship. Your mother on the other hand was lonely, of course I acted nice to her and soon I was her only companion. One day though she made the companionship of Solaris, the King of the Sun Kingdom. They hit it off right away and I was left in the dust, where I had always been it seemed. They were married and had a child, you." She hissed with disgust as she gripped Sailor Moon's jaw in her icy cold hands.
"You ruined everything! Even if your mother was killed or gave up power I was no longer next in line! The heiress was and you were that heiress. You were the heiress to the largest kingdom ever and I was thrown out of the castle because your mother, my sister, did not trust me anymore. It turns out Solaris never trusted me, so he began to warn my sister that I would try to kill you, ironic how right he was if you stop and think about it. They kicked me out thinking their problem was solved, how wrong could they be? Silly man though to think he could get in my way. By this time Metallia had come to me and talked of her dislike for the great kingdom of the moon. I told her I was a member of the court and we hit it off. Metallia understood the anguish I was going through and she began to show me things I never dreamed of! She gave me power and ways to control that power to attack, she made think and soon we had come up with a plan for the destruction of the Silver Millennium kingdom."
"How could you betray your home?" Sailor Moon asked fighting to stay alive.
"It never was meant to be my home." She pushed a long tendril of red hair from her face and suddenly a dark aura surrounded her. "I visited my home, the palace, and met you for the second time. By this time you were fifteen and a beautiful young girl. You had your guards to watch over you, but you were also being courted at the time. By a young man, by a young prince named Endymion. He was the most handsome man I had ever seen and I knew I wanted him for myself. I finally felt that burning feel of hope or love or maybe even lust and I knew I had to have him. I didn't care about his engagement with you only that I needed him to be by my side and to hold me like he held you, like Solaris held Selenity. I approached him and he shunned my advances claiming his heart was already spoken for. I didn't care the least that he didn't love me so I turned to Metallia for guidance and she gave me a few spells. We quickly devised of a plan and everything was set into order."
Tears were flowing down Serena's cheeks as she listened to the destruction of her past life and the horrors of which her aunt had lived through. "I sent a telegram to your father claiming that there was a war on the sun. He bid your mother and you farewell and hurried off to fight the battle for his kingdom. Sad thing there was an explosion that filled the sky when he was one mile out of port. He never had a chance for the explosion killed him the second it went off." She smiled wryly at her own cleverness.
"You murderer! You're insane!"
"I know, isn't it great?"
"You killed my father!"
A large ringed hand slapped Sailor Moon into silence. "Shut-up! I know I killed your father because I did it with pleasure. I would have murder no other way. Of course your mother was depressed but somehow she figured it out that I had killed him and she banished me from my home. My sister sure knew how to make someone feel welcome." She cracked sarcastically. Absent- mindedly she began to throw a tiny energy ball back and forth between her hands.
"I soon moved to Earth to conquer your prince with my spell but it didn't work! His heart was already filled and his mind was too rational to realize that I was the one for him! Me! Not you! The people of Earth were easy to conquer. I had them all under Metallia's spell in a matter of days. Any who opposed were killed, including Endymion's parents. I was going to kill Endymion when I knew in my heart that I couldn't kill him, my only love. I let him go with a warning that the moon kingdom would be the next to fall."
"I'm sure you remember that Endymion came immediately and that he was soon believed to be a traitor to the moon and a spy from Earth. All part of my plan you see. When everyone from the Moon rejected him he would come crawling back to me. But you," she grabbed a fistful of Sailor Moon's hair and yanked her head so that she was forced to directly look into the murky black eyes, "You ruined everything. You accepted him and convinced your mother that he was not a spy. The people still believed it but you and your mother knew the truth. Damn you!" She threw the small energy ball directly at Sailor Moon's chest, which knocked the wind out of her. She gasped for breath as Beryl cackled.
"I guess all good things must come to an end though. He came to you on the night Metallia and I decided to attack, we knew everyone would be preoccupied with the ball and unprepared to fight, but Endymion said he had to fight for his home, the Moon. I watched in the shadows and waited patiently for my chance. With you out of the picture I could finally have the one thing I wanted with all my heart. The power, the downfall of my sister didn't matter! I only needed him! He kissed you and ran off to fight but your stupid guards came along so I sent them to fight their own true loves, the Generals. Foolish sailor scouts for I had brainwashed the generals so long ago, they even sold me their souls. In every generation they will belong to me and they will kill off the sailor scouts no matter how hard you fight."
"Stop! I can't bear to hear this! Please stop telling me this story! I don't want to remember this past life and I don't want to hear of how you ruined everyone's lives simply because you were jealous! Stop telling me this!" Serena pleaded as her crystal eyes locked with the cold emotionless eyes of Beryl.
"I have one word for you," she paused and winked slowly, "no! You were all alone at the pretty age of eighteen waiting for your love to come back into your arms. I crept up behind you," she hissed as she looked into Sailor Moon's bloody face.
Serena was reliving the memory and she was squirming as she tried to stop the impending doom that she knew would happen. She closed her eyes trying to block the memories from barricading her head and the pain filling her heart because she knew what happened next. A fresh wave of tears made trails down her cheeks, smearing the blood and dirt, falling to the ground.
"And I raised the sword above me head. Somehow you heard me but you turned and looked up at me with frightened eyes. I knew you were scared but I didn't care. Once you were gone I would be closer to the only thing I ever wanted. You started screaming and trying to do pitiful magic tricks your mother had taught you. I slowly advanced upon you and I backed you into the banister."
Serena was crying out loud now as the image seared through her mind. Her head and body was shaking with the tremors that racked her small frame. Her hair hung limply and her eyes could make no more tears, she was dried up.
"All around you the sound of your people dying!"
"Stop!"
"You couldn't do anything but join them!"
"I'm begging you!"
"I raised the sword to plunge it into your heart. Yes your heart, so I could easily destroy the bond between you and the Prince and so I could forge a new one with the blink of an eye."
"Beryl! Stop this now! Please stop telling me this!"
"No! I want you to live it again and again! I quickly brought the sword down to kill you and I closed my eyes with victory as I felt the resistance as the cold metal in my hands slid into human flesh. I opened my eyes and gasped with horror! Do you remember?"
"I don't want to remember!" She screamed in agony as her forehead flashed with pain and a brief gold light.
"You killed him! In your selfishness and greed you took the love of my life away. He had to rescue you because he made himself a promise to always keep you safe, even if it meant his death."
"I did not kill him! You killed him just as you killed my father and planned to kill my mother and I. It's your fault!"
"Never! I could never kill the one I love. I felt hot tears spring to my eyes at the sight before me. The sword was sticking through his heart and his beautiful cobalt blue eyes were filled with pain and love. You cradled his body to the ground and I watched him die in your hands. His eyes closed and I knew that nothing would stop me from getting my revenge for his death."
Serena felt a wave of pain pass through her heart and head as she recalled her love's tragic death. She could smell the scent of death as she relived the painful memory. Her eyes squeezed shut and played the awful scene before her. She tried to move but the look of pain and love in his eyes kept flashing through her locking her into place.
"We both reached for the sword. I was preoccupied and you were able to get it first. I remember looking at you with your silver hair blowing in the wind, your white blood spattered dress billowing around you, your crescent moon glaring at me through the darkness and I knew my end had come. I watched with ease as you stabbed me in the gut and removed the sword only to stab me again. It was one of those out of body experiences. I saw myself fall to my knees and look to you for compassion but there was only hatred in your eyes. I could have sworn I was looking at your mother but I wasn't, it was you. You called me a murdered, I suggest you reexamine your definition of murdered because if I'm not mistaken you killed me. I mean I don't care about the fact that in your grief you killed yourself to join him, in my mind he was already dead, or the fact that I had succeeded in destroying the Silver Millennium, I just wanted my life back." She whispered as a single black tear rolled down her face.
"I'm sorry." Serena pleaded with her energy spent.
"You should be, you killed me after all. It doesn't matter though because I was weak then that's why I was killed. Metallia brought me back to life after years of waiting for the reincarnations to be born. I grew stronger than ever before and all I wanted was vengeance for my death. I didn't care who was killed along my journey to rest my soul in piece but I knew I had to kill you. Which brings us to today, to here, to this very instant." She paused and stood slowly. She glanced skyward at the black sky above that was filled with no twinkling stars or powerful moon. "I will kill you tonight, but I have other things to attend to first." Beryl walked out of the large room and out the double doors.
Where we left off in the story:
