"Grrrreat. You take the hundred on the left. I'll take the 200 on the right..." Aphrodite started groaning. "Ok,just attack whoever attacks you!" she said,confused by the large number of ninjas. "Alrighty,DEIMOS METEOR ATTACK!" Deimos charged. The first five ninjas surrounding her fell from her attack. "Jupiter white pressure!" Jupiter sliced into another.

"MARS FLAME SNIPER!"

"LOVE AND BEAUTY SHOCK!"

"AQUA ILLUSION"

"WORLD SHAKER"

"NEPTUNE SEA SUBMERGE"

"CRESCENT MOON ATTACK"

"DEADLY SCREAM"

One by one, the ninjas fell,making both the empress and Lady Ote angrier and angrier. Ote cried out in frustration as the scouts killed more than half of her ninjas and started attacking them herself. Meanwhile,amidst the thick battle,Sailor Moon(Rini) crept to the stone pillar where her father lay.

He looked sorrowful,and yet peaceful,his eyes closed. His skin was a light blue,and he was icy cold to touch. "Daddy!" Rini sobbed. "Daddy,can you hear me? daddy,please!" Rini cried,getting ahold of darien's cold,motionless hand. "Daddy,we need help.." she whispered softly,as a tear slid down from her cheek and onto Darien's frozen lips.

"VENUS CRESCENT BEAM,SM--AHHH!" Venus was shot down by another of Ote's powerful attacks. So was Mars and Jupiter. Lady Ote laughed wickedly. "SOOOO? WHO'S THE MOST POWERFUL NOW,SAILOR SCOUTS? AAHAHAHHAHA....." "Flame enhancer!" Deimos weakly attacked. Ote dodged it easily. "I THINK I'M TOO FAST FOR YOU,MY DEAR..HAVE A TASTE OF MINE!" Lady ote sent a quick bolt at Deimos,and Deimos fell in a heap. Ote,once again,started gloating wickedly. "WHO'S NEXT? WHICH ONE OF YOU MANGY LITTLE SCOUTS IS NEXT?" she screamed. "I am," Mars sent a flaming arrow at Ote's heart. Ote screamed. "Don't you ever hurt my daughter!" Mars shouted. Ote raised her rod to attack Mars, when she sudenly was turned into nothingness with a powerful blast from behind. Ote screamed and turned into dust. "NOOO! OTE!" The Empress stopped fighting with Eternal Moon to crouch at the dust before her feet. She started sobbing and murmuring angrily. "WHO DARES THE EMPRESS AND HER FAITHFUL SERVANT?" she shouted furiously. "An eye for an eye,Veruna,and a tooth for a tooth.." The empress looked behind her and found both the king and Sailor Moon(Rini) with their wands raised. "YOU KILLED MY OTE?" the empress raged on. "You killed Zuleika. Didn't think you weren't going to recieve the same treatment,were you?" Sailor Moon retorted coldly. The empress made a furious noise and pointed her rod at Rini. "YOU WILL PAY,LITTLE ONE!" she let go a blast. But Darien raised a hand,commandingly saying, "HALT!" the deadly beam sent out by the empress deteriorated and disappeared. "WHAT?" the empress charged at eternal Moon again. But Darien sent a rose aimed at the empress' hand, causing her to drop her rod. The empress,in her fury,sent a bolt from her hand and made Eternal Moon drop her wand also. "CATFIGHT!" Aphrodite screamed.

Eternal Moon quickly took her wand, while the empress called more ninjas to help her. Then she turned and started blasting at an already alert Eternal Moon. fighting resumed, but the scouts were more powerful this time. they wiped out the ninjas in a minute,but the empress did not have any time to call more since she was fighting Eternal Moon. "ETERNAL MOON POWER...." Sailor Moon emerged herself in her remaining energy. "AQUA FREEZE!" Mercury froze the Empress in place with the help of her daughter, Caloris. "WHY DID YOU ATTACK OUR PLANET?" Eternal Moon calmly asked. "Because i was envious of your growing prosperity and life,and..love..I wanted to steal it all away from you....." the Empress started slowly. "Big mistake," eternal Moon let go of her blast. the empress was blasted onto the ground in bits with a piercing scream. Wind blew all about them,and the walls of the room started cracking. "THE SHIP! IT'S BEING DESTROYED! LET'S GET OUT OF HERE!" Mercury shouted over the noise.

A large boulder stood at the entrance,forbidding their exit. "BEAM SMASH!" Venus cried,pointing at the boulder in their way. the bould was smashed to pieces and they all ran out. "THIS WAY!" Knight Hespo screamed, leading them down a corridor. they finally read an opening leading out of the ship,and ran out. behidn them,fire hurled and the ship split in two,crumbling terribly.

The reign of the Silver Empress was over at last.
