Chapter: 27
Date: March 1, 2003
Corruption Only Leads to Misery
Setsuna gasped as she fell to the floor, her green hair fanning out like foliage of the sea. Haruka ran to her side, holding her shoulders.
"Setsuna-san! Nani desu ka?" She questioned quickly as she other senshi joined her.
"It worked…" Setsuna whispered, sweat beading on her forehead. "The princess has awoken… but that is not what ails me."
"What is it?" Luna questioned quickly, a deep fear was showing in her cracking voice.
"The princess is in grave danger… and it is worse that what we could possibly imagine…"
Everyone looked at each other in silence.
"Then…" Makoto said slowly, "I guess it's time to suit up."
Usagi was thrown into a cage with Kaoraan. Their hands were bound with rusty chains that dug deeply into the soft flesh.
Usagi sat on the floor, which was covered in years of caked mud and blood, and spelt of must and mildew. Kaoraan paced the tiny cage slowly, deep in thought. Finally, she plunged to the floor, her eyes filled with unshed tears.
"I can't do it…" She whispered. "No matter how hard I try… I cannot get us out of here… I've failed you, Serenity."
Usagi scooted over the floor to where Kaoraan sat. "You haven't failed me, Kaoraan… we both tried our best… and that is all we can do."
"But… we're going to die… and I can't save you. Now you'll consider me as an enemy forever…"
Usagi kissed Kaoraan's forehead. "You tried, and that makes you my friend…"
"If I could hug you, Serenity, I would…"
At those words they both broke into tears. Their cries echoed off the stone walls and made them feel foolish, but also relived.
The door opened and they both turned, tears still streaming down their face, but fear the most prominent emotion in their features.
A very tall, very large and buff man walked in… carrying Seiya!
He was badly bruised and looked exhausted. He forced his head to look at Usagi, and as he did his eyes grew wide…
Serenity
Usagi was now Princess Serenity!
The man carried him through the room, and tossed him into the cage.
"The master will speak with you later…" then he turned, as swiftly as a man of his size could, and left.
"Serenity…" Seiya whispered, staring at the woman before him.
Usagi blushed and turned away… "Hello, Seiya…"
"Oh! You silly girl!" He kissed her passionately, wanting more then anything to wrap his arms around her. He knew that was impossible… but now anything was possible, now that Usagi remembered…
Kaoraan felt her cheeks blush a bright red as she watched them share their kiss. She had her own dreams of love, and they were crushed under the heated pain of hatred and anger. Hot tears streamed down her face and she turned quietly away. It wasn't her place to look on anyway.
Usagi nuzzled her head under Seiya's chin and sighed. The mood was melancholy, it was as if everyone knew their fate was going to be death.
Kaoraan looked over at the two of them slowly and solemnly. She thought about her own love, how it had deteriorated before her eyes.
'Why did I love him? What made me think he was so tangible?' More tears streamed down her face, she quickly rubbed her cheek against her shoulder to stop them. It did her no good now to sit here and cry, Serenity was in danger… and Serenity was her main priority now.
"Serenity?" She asked. In response to her voice, two pairs of eyes looked at her. For a moment Kaoraan felt as thought she were stripped nude and left standing on the floor. It was almost as if their eyes could she through her out shell into the very depths of her soul.
She regained her strength and continued. "Princess, Xavier is going to return soon…"
Usagi broke away from Seiya and nodded. "I know. I guess this is the end… I'm sorry I failed you…"
"You didn't fail us, Princess. We failed you," Kaoraan's voice was strangely solemn and calm.
"Usagi, everything's going to be alright," Seiya said in a way that was so comforting, Usagi thought for a split second that everything was going to be all right, then reality smacked her and she knew it wasn't going to be. Death was their only option.
"I don't see how…" her eyes fell to the ground, then back into Seiya's eyes.
"No matter what… we'll always have each other… death cannot stop true love, all it can do is delay it for a while…" a small smile appeared on his lips, and he kissed her forehead.
Usagi let tears fall down her cheeks and she took a deep breath. "Will I see you again then?"
"Of course…"
"Touching… really it is. It's so touching I have half a mind to gag."
Three pairs of eyes turned to stair into one pair of frighteningly icy eyes. Xavier raised an eyebrow as he walked around the cage that held them in their spot. Seiya stepped in front of the two girls as the silver-haired bastard approached even more.
"Ahhh, it is nice to have power again… to be in control of the events around me. I'm so sorry to have to do this, really I am, but it's just you'll all get in my way for universal domination. Do remember I hold you in the highest respect." A smirk moved slowly across his face.
"You and the word 'respect' should never be used in the same sentence, Xavier." Serenity glared at him over Seiya's shoulder.
His eyes narrowed at her. "You are rather helpless without your amazing senshi, aren't you? Do you know how it was that I tracked you down, you helpless, pathetic twit?"
Usagi gave a start, she hadn't questioned the idea for a long time, and now he was bringing it up again? She looked at him in a deeply questioning way, she wanted to know… but she wasn't sure if she'd like the outcome from his mouth.
"How?"
He smirked. "The scar on your neck… you remember now, don't you?"
She blinked, the scar had healed, and almost disappeared within the first week of her arrival here. She hadn't thought about it, why it healed so perfect or so fast.
"I can see your pathetic confusion in your eyes… so let me enlighten you. Within your body is a substance that I developed from my own blood. It is injected into your body and allows me to track you and capture you whenever I want. The problem, however, is that it doesn't stop you being defended… and it can take sometime for it to become more prominent to my senses, so I had my minions track you down and inject you again…" A smile of pure ice and snow split across his face. "You now know how I was able to find you… maybe you aren't as stupid as you look."
Usagi just stared. He could track her down anywhere! He knew the whole time that she was going to see Seiya! He knew her whereabouts in every single moment! It was unfathomable… escape and freedom seemed even dimmer then they had before.
"Ahhh… life is good to me."
Usagi's eyes fell to the floor.
"I had best kill you fast, otherwise your stupid and pathetic excuses for warriors might show." Xavier reached across his chest and stomach to his left side, and from a sheath, he pulled a gleaming sword.
Usagi looked into Seiya's eyes, and then into Kaoraan's. Death was inevitable now.
"Pathetic! He called me pathetic! I'll show you pathetic! DEEP SUBMERGE!"
From the wall to their right a wave of power, that oddly resembled a tsunami, cracked the wall and crushed the sword Xavier held, as well as threw him across the room to slam into the brick wall.
Ten senshi stepped through the giant hole and grinned at the three in the cage. Venus held up her fingers in a 'V is for Victory' sign and grinned.
"Thought you might need some help there, Serenity!"
"Minako-chan!!" Usagi's face couldn't help but smile.
"Okay! Free the princess and Seiya!" Haruka had Xavier in a head-lock and was giving him a major noogie.
"You are messing up my hair!!" He elbowed her harshly in the stomach, sending her flying across the room and into a corner. The jokes stopped quickly and everyone became battle ready. Maybe twelve against one wasn't going to be as easy as they had planned.
"You are wasting your time, I'll have you know," He said calmly as he proceeded to repair his damaged hair.
"In what way?" Makoto glared.
"In the only way you know how." He snapped his fingers, and from the hole, flew in about a hundred guards, each armed with a sword, that looked as it could cut a diamond brick cleanly in half.
Usagi's cuffed hands found Kaoraan's and they gasped in fear. Seiya still held his dominant position in front of the two, but his own heart pounded adrenaline through his body. This battle was turning too rapidly to know who was going to come out on top…
"Attack." Xavier said calmly.
Within that instant, a hundred guards charged at the ten senshi, who quickly began pulling out all stops.
Xavier walked through the grim battle as if it were nothing more then the cool waters of a calm sea. His eyes were locked on the small, untouched cage.
"MERCURY! XAVIER!" A voice called above the din.
A, tiny blue haired girl kicked a guard hard in the face before yelling: "SHABON SPRAY!"
Xavier turned, and looked calmly at the spray of power that came careening towards him. Then he held his palm out at the last possible moment…
It stopped. The power fell to the ground in a glitter of fading dust. Mercury stared in complete disbelief as he pointed his palm to the fading power, and it began to fly towards his own hand. It disappeared for a moment… then…
Mercury ducked and rolled as the power shot back at it's creator, but resulted in smacking a guard in the face. He turned into the ice that Xavier should have been.
"ARGH! SOME ONE STOP HIM!!"
No one could… their attacks could only attack one person at a time, and everyone had about ten guards attacking them.
"Xavier…" Seiya said with nothing less then pure and honest hatred in his voice.
Xavier had approached them, his eyes calm and cool. He looked up into Seiya's own eyes, smiled then held his hand to his lips and blew softly across his palm.
Seiya's skin turned a silvery blue and purple blood leaked from the wounds that had not quite healed from his previous encounters with pain. His voice became void, his heart became still, and his soul slipped through the grasping, golden fingers of life.
"SEIYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!" Usagi had never yelled so hard in her life. She tried to grasp for his falling, dead body… but nothing prevailed. She only fell onto her knees, staring up at the back of Kaoraan.
"I loved you… and you betrayed my heart… I don't need you… I only need my loyal princess… GOLDE-"
Silence…
"I despise someone that cannot do what I ask of them…" Xavier spit in her face.
She fell… a lifeless body next to Usagi.
"And you… you've let me down, Serenity… I would have thought you more powerful then that… tisk tisk. You really are nothing without your senshi… aren't you?"
She looked up slowly into his eyes and whispered: "Nothing you can say… will hurt me now. Seiya and I are joined by the bonds of love… something you will never understand… I pity you…"
With that, cold steel was plunged through her chest, dark blood seeped from her body and covered the floor where her two faithful companions lied.
"That… was awful… now who is going to clean up the mess?" He shook his head and sighed, then began to walk out of the room.
The fighting suddenly stopped, and the soldiers quickly formed neat, parallel lines.
"USAGI!"
"SEIYA!"
The senshi ran to the bodies.
Xavier didn't move.
"Payment… you killed my payment?!"
The ten senshi, through their tears, stared at a dark figure that stood in front of the soldiers. Xavier was frozen in something that resembled fear.
"I lend you my army and you kill my payment!?"
"She's my servant! I will do with her as I see fit!" Xavier tried to glare back, but his fear was too great.
"And you are under my contract, so I will do with you as I see fit!"
White light streamed from every pore in his body…
and then there was nothing…
nothing but… silence…
The man was gone. The soldiers were gone. Xavier was gone. Seiya's body was gone. Usagi's body was gone. Kaoraan's body was gone. And the ten senshi that had failed in the protection of their princess… were gone.
Failure had come and gone… but true love would last forever…
I told you you would hate me. And so you do!! BUT IT'S NOT OVER!! SO DON'T FLAME ME UNLESS YOU ABSOLUTELY FEEL THE NEED! Then I will accept your flames graciously. So ja ne!
