Chapter 21: The Final Battle

Mina started trembling in fear, "There is nothing we can do except
to take out the source, now do you understand me sis? We take out
the portal and no more can ever return or enter this realm ever.
Before we leave I have a sort of a surprise for all of you, it
will active itself AFTER the battle. Guardian then closes his
eyes and whispers something. "You may feel a little dizzy at
first, but it will fade in time for the battle" He stated after
he finished the spell. "Is everyone ready to end the reign of
terror that has engulfed this city? " Guardian yelled.

"Ami, have you found the location of the portal?" Guardian asked Ami.
"The portal is located at the base of the city radio tower. And by
the look of this it is guarded by 3 yuma" Ami replied reading her
scanner. "Here is the plan, no matter what you see or hear, we have
to keep the main objective in mind. Take out the yuma guarding the
portal, and then take out the portal itself" Guardian stated looking
at the group. "No matter what happens, or who the person is that dies,
we have to destroy the portal at any and all cost" Guardian spoke as
he scanned the burning city. "Ladies and Tuxie, we are about to enter
the worst war this city has ever seen. Does anyone have anything to
say before we begain?" When no one responded to Guardian's question,
he spoke "Then I will say something this is more or less almost a
suicide mission, the yuma's are five times as powerful then normal.
And they have only one priority, to stop us by any means necessary.
All we have to worry about is getting to the portal, I will worry
about it from there."

Guardian, The Scouts, and Tuxedo Mask ran through the city dodging
yuma attacks left and right. Everything from motorcycles to
razorblades seemed to have been used to create the monsters.
Yuma's the scouts had annihilated as far as five years in the past
and as recent as the Pincushion yuma weeks ago had been resurrected
to stop the attempt on the portal. No matter how many times the
yuma's were shattered, they seemed to regenerate almost immediately.
"Now do you see why I said it was a form of a suicide mission?"
Guardian yelled over the noise of the attacks to the scouts and Tuxie.
The attacks by the Yuma picked up tremendously all of a sudden, just
as Ami yelled "There's the tower and the portal!!" They were soon
surrounded by so many yuma, that it would give a horror novelist
nightmares for life.

"Everyone take hold of each others hand including mine and hold on
tight" Guardian yelled. When he saw that everyone had done so, he
closed his eyes and started chanting. From out of nowhere a giant
shockwave appeared and eradicated all yuma within a five block
radius. "That should slow them down a bit, enough for us to get to
the portal" Guardian spoke almost in a whisper. "Are you alright
Guardian?" Serena asked worried, "Yes, now hurry we have to get to
the portal before they return" Guardian repiled in a weakened state.
Serena bit her bottom lip in fear, when she realized what was
happening. She NOW knew who the person was who would sacrifice their
self to save everyone else was. Even though Guardian said It couldn't
be changed, she was going to try anyway. When they finally reached the
entrance to the portal, Guardian generated a force shield around it to
protect everyone. "I dont know how long this will last, with the yuma
attacking it. So we have do this as swiftly and as soon as we can" he
said to the group.

Everyone threw everything they had at the portal, all it did was make
the portal shimmer with a purple afterglow. Guardian and Ami were
comparing observations and came up with the only way to remove the
portal. "B-B-But you cant do this Guardian, how will you excape?"
Serena said voicing the consern of all of the girls. "I won't for
this is the only way to destabilize the portal. I am the only one
powerful enough to do this" Guardian softly spoke looking into the
tearful eyes of his Princess, his charge, his angel Sererna. "I won't
let you then, I am as powerful as you are I will do it" Serena
demanded with fire flashing in her eyes. Guardian with tears running
down his face, put his hands on Serena's shoulders, and kissed
her softly on her soft trembling, sweet pink lips. "I have wondered
why my Zaira did what she did all those years ago. I now know why,
she loved me so much that she couldn't live with the thought of
anything every happening to me. I am deeply sorry I have to do this
my princess." Guardian spoke as he summoned a brief charge of lighting
enough to make her unconscious, but not enough to harm her.

Serena's mind screamed out in warning, remembering what Zaira did
those many years ago. "Guardian, Please dont!!" Serena slurred as
she lost consciousness and collapsed into Guardian's arms. Guardian
carried her over to Darien and asked, "I know we have had our
differences in the past. But can you do one last favor for me? Can
you please watch out for her now that I can no longer?" "I will try
to look out for and care for Serena as you have. You are doing a very
noble act, sacrificing yourself so that the portal will be closed"
Darien answered. "I am not doing it to close the portal, I am doing it
to save the life's of my new family" Guardian stated looking at the
scouts, his friends, his sisters. With tears flowing down everyone's
face, Guardian said goodbye to everyone one by one. "Goodbye Mina my
little sister, Please dont cry for this is a joyous event. For the
negaverse will never be able to set foot in this realm forever. I want
you to know that you will be receiving a surprize invitation in the
future. Please except it, now please can you give me at least a little
smile?" Guardian asked hugging Mina, Mina who was sobbing her heart
out managed a small smile for her Big brother. "Thats my lil' sister"
Guardian repliled kissing her on the cheek when he saw Mina smile.

"Goodbye Ami, Please watch out for your sisters safety and everyone
else ok? You will give a great gift to humanity in the future, no
matter what anyone tells you never give up your interest in Science
and Medicine." Guardian spoke as he hugged and kissed his sobbing
friend Ami. Guardian moved over to Lita, who threw herself sobbing
into hs arms. "Goodbye Lita, I know that we got off on the wrong
foot but do you know what I will miss most besides your lovely face?
Your cooking I have been served by some of the best chef's in the
world, your cooking surpasses them all in comparison. Lita as
exciting and tempting an offer it will seem, if you receive an
invitation to the world cooking competition in rome. Dont Go trust
me on this, please do not step foot there." Lita looked up into
Guardian's face as he said that, what she saw frightened her. For
the first time Guardian had a look of mortal fear cross his face.
Looking down blushing Lita said "You can hug and kiss me also if
you want."

After hugging and kissing Lita on her cheek, Guardian walked over
to the deeply sobbing Rei. "You knew this was coming didnt you sis?"
Guardian asked wrapping his arms and wings around his sobbing sister
Rei. "I am sorry it had to be this way, but I value your lifeforce
and the lifeforces of the others. THATS why I am doing this to save
all of you. My beautiful sister Rei, I will miss our talks and the
way you get little flames in your eyes when you get mad. You will
have a surprise in the future about a friend, and a large shock
with some news. Goodbye my sweet mature sister, I have seen what
is in your heart and I will give you it." Guardian spoke as he gave
her a hug like the rest but softly and gently kissed Rei on her lips.
"I knew that you would never ask, because of your friendship with
Serena. Consider it a parting gift from me, Goodbye Rei, Goodbye
Everyone Until we met in the next Lifetime." Guardian said as he
walked up to the portal and vanished, seconds after the portal
pulsated and disappeared in a flash of light.

All of the snarling and the sounds from the yuma, that were attacking
the force shield stopped as fast as they started. Ami scanned the area,
not a single yuma, trace of the negaverse, or anything evil for that
matter was registering at all. It was then that the force shield
flashed silver, and then faded. Serena awakens holding her head and
moaning, "What hit me?" She then remembers where she is at, "He's
gone isn't he?" Serena asked tears running down her face. "Yes
Guardian's gone Serena" came a caring deep male voice that sounded
so infuriating familiar. It was then that Serena realized that
she was being held, she looked up into the face of Tuxedo Mask.
Serena burst into tears sobbing burying her face into Tuxie's
shoulder. Darien looked at Rei, "Lets go home" Rei stated to the
group. What felt like a very fant shockwave, came through the
air, as everyone was heading home.

Guardian stepped out of the other end of the portal, he then used his
energy pulses to make the portal unstable and collapse on itself.
Knowing that they would just open another one, Guardian made a choice
of the ultimate sacrifice. He stood there slient, closed his eyes,
started chanting as the air started to crackle with power. The ground
started shaking like there was an earthquake, with a flash of white
light, a giant wall of energy appeared. The giant wall kept expanding
and widening, anything that it touched was vaporized on contact.
Guardian fell to his knees exhausted, after using the remaining power
he had to launch the Energy wave. Guardian knew that nothing, not even
the most powerful of evil would survive. He sat there watching as the
whole realm was devoured by his energy wave, until all that was left
in the realm was the area around where he was sitting. Just as the
wave closed in, one last thought went through his mind *Goodbye
Serena, Goodbye everyone*. IMPACT.........
