Ryoko: Sorry for the short first chapter.
Aeris: We hope the other two make up for it.
Disclaimer: We don't own SM, but Aurora and Crystal belong to us.
A/N: Things are going to be altered. Like the final battle between Crystal and
Nelephina (which is in this one). Hope you enjoy.
Sailor Moon: Silver
Chapter 33:
The Silver Dream Crystal Appears
Crystal lies down beside Rini and Helios. Her pale blue eyes travel over to
Athena, who's standing over them. As she falls asleep, she hears low talking
steadily getting louder.
"Why are we doing this again?"
"I dislike Nelephina now. She went too far."
"PallaPalla wants to know what she did."
"She took Helios' horn off of his forehead."
Crystal hears three choruses of gasps before she sinks deeper into sleep. When
she finally wakes up a few hours later, she yawns and stretches. She sits up
and rubs her eyes.
"Athena?"
Crystal puts her hands down slowly as she gets no response. She looks around
and sees only Rini and Helios beside her. She stands up and stretches again.
"Athena!" Crystal calls.
Nothing. Where is Athena? Crystal can't help but wonder.
"Athena!" Crystal cries as she hears a loud whimper of pain.
She runs off in that direction and finds herself looking at Athena and
Nelephina. Nelephina has a hand on the young pegasus' horn and Athena is trying
to shake her off.
"Leave her alone!"
Crystal runs forward and rams into Nelephina's side. As Nelephina gets knocked
off balance, she breaks off Athena's horn. Athena shakes her head, whining
loudly. Crystal comes over and takes Athena's head in her arms.
"Shh. Calm down. I'll help you." Crystal says soothingly.
"There's no way you can help her. I have the silver dream crystal."
Crystal looks alarmed as Athena collapses, goes limp, and she feels a little
weaker.
"What have you done to her?"
"Simply put, I drained her."
Crystal helps lay Athena on the ground, and then she stands up and glares at
Nelephina. She holds out her hand and her dagger appears.
"You've hurt my two best friends and my sister. Now you will pay." Crystal
says coldly.
Chapter 34:
Crystal's Battle For Rini's, Helios', and Athena's Life
Crystal runs forward and slashes Nelephina's face. She gets smacked away and
Crystal sees for the first time what she really looks like. Floor length black
hair, silver cat eyes, pale skin, black dress, and three crescent moons on her
forehead. This is what catches Crystal offgaurd.
"Were you...were you apart of the Royal Family?" Crystal asks.
She gets hit in the chest by a dark lightning bolt for an answer. She flies
back and lands on the ground with a thud. Her dagger falls out of her hand and
Nelephina walks over and picks it up. Crystal slowly gets up and watches as
Nelephina fiddles with the dagger. Finally, a familiar pink haired girl appears
beside her.
"Rini!"
Nelephina looks between the two and smiles.
"I can see the resemblance. Too bad she has to die." Nelephina says
as she places the dagger to Rini's neck.
"Touch her and die." Crystal growls.
Nelephina smirks and Crystal flies forward. As she passes by, she tries to
reach for the dagger, but Nelephina moves it out of her reach and slashes her
across the wing. Crystal groans as some feathers fall. She, then, moves her leg
around and kicks the dark queen's knee. Nelephina drops the dagger and Crystal
picks it up and runs a few feet away. Nelephina glares at Crystal and Crystal
smirks.
"Let's raise the stakes. You battle me and if I win, I get to kill your
sister and the two pegasus'."
"And if I win?" Crystal asks.
"All four of you can leave."
"I accept with one modification. The Quartet comes with me if I win."
"Agreed."
Nelephina and Crystal charge at each other. They clash in the middle and the
fight is on. As the fight continues, four girls appear beside Athena.
"Athena doesn't need to die." CereCere says.
"Neither does Helios." JunJun says.
PallaPalla bends down and places something silver on Athena's forehead. It's
her horn, stolen by VesVes and being put back in place by PallaPalla. The horn
glows and the wound mends. Athena stirs slightly and PallaPalla steps back.
Athena opens her pale purple eyes and lifts her head up.
"Athena! Your awake!"
Doesn't mean I'm healed.
Athena shakily stands up and the Quartet helps her walk. The battle between
Nelephina and Crystal starts taking a turning point. With one of Crystal's
wings clipped, she can't dodge attacks effectively and starts losing.
"Note to self. Ask Uranus to help me train dodging attacks on the
ground."
Crystal gets knocked to the ground and lays still.
"Looks like I've won Crystal."
I don't think so!
Athena runs forward and stabs her horn into Nelephina's arm. Nelephina growls
and Athena steps back. Nelephina whirls on her and Crystal gets up.
"Let's see. Priestess Athena is up and so am I. Your outnumbered,
Nelephina."
"I don't think so."
It's true.
A white pegasus steps up beside his sister. His golden horn glows and reflects
off his glossy coat. The blood is no longer there, making him a very handsome
pegasus.
"Helios!"
Look out!
Nelephina moves her hand and Rini goes flying.
"Rini!" Crystal yells.
She runs after her, but doesn't get to her before she flies off the side of the
tent.
"Rini!" Crystal screams again.
Crystal! Don't!
Crystal jumps off the side of the tent and spreads her wings. She groans loudly
as pain shoots through her whole body. She reaches Rini and grabs her hand. The
crescent moon on her forehead flashes and she transforms into Neo Princess
Silver.
"Rini, wake up." Crystal pleads.
Rini slowly opens her red eyes and transforms into Neo Princess Serenity. White
wings unfurl from her back and she flaps them. Though both are safe, for now,
the battle was not yet over.
Chapter 35:
Final Battle Between Crystal and Nelephina
Crystal's weight pulls Rini down and both girls groan.
"Rini, you have to pull me up. My wing is clipped and I can't fly."
Rini nods and flaps her wings. She flies up a little and Crystal grabs on with
her other hand. Rini keeps flying up, but cries out in shock and surprise.
"Rini! I'm slipping!"
Rini grabs Crystal's arm and flies up more.
Look out!
"Nelephina's attacking!"
Rini flies out of the way of an attack and her grip slips more.
"She's attacking again!" Crystal cries.
Rini moves out of the way of another attack, but keeps flying up.
"Rini, hurry! I can't hold on much longer!"
Rini continues flying up. Crystal lets out a high pitched scream as her grip is
lost.
"RINI!" Crystal cries as she falls.
"AURORA!" Rini cries.
Something white and pink fly pass Rini. One flies under Rini as her wings disappear
and her transformation reverses.
"Helios!" Rini cries.
I'm glad your safe, Small Maiden.
Rini hugs Helios, but looks over his shoulder to the ground far below.
"Is Aurora safe?"
Helios nods and a pink pegasus flies up with a trembling Crystal on her back.
Aurora, your safe.
Crystal opens her eyes and sighs with relief.
"Talk about a rush." Rini says.
Crystal laughs and both pegasus' fly up.
"You know she'll be ready to attack."
"Not if I can help it. Crystal Sphere!"
A crystal-like sphere surrounds them and flies up. Athena and Helios land on
the bottom and rest their wings.
"How'd your wing get clipped?" Rini asks, looking at it.
"Taking a slash attack, helping you."
Get ready.
The sphere lands on the ground of the tent and Crystal gets ready with her
dagger. As Super Sailor Crystal, her staff had disappeared, getting replaced by
the dagger. Bit it didn't matter. Crystal was better with a dagger anyway.
The time to attack is now.
"No wait."
A dark lightning bolt hits the sphere, causing it to crack.
"Get ready."
Both pegasus' lower their heads. Crystal holds out her dagger. A second bolt
hits the sphere.
"Get set. GO!"
A third bolt hits the sphere, causing it to shatter. As crystal shards fall to
the ground, Crystal and the two pegasus charge forward. Crystal plunges her
dagger into Nelephina's chest, while the two sibling pegasus get their horns
into her arms.
"You will never win!" Nelephina screams.
"Think again! Crystal Desolation!"
Nelephina screams in agony, then disappears. Athena gets behind Crystal and catches
her as she falls.
"Let's get the Quartet and go."
A day later found Aurora asleep in bed. Some feathers from her clipped wing had
grown back, but she still couldn't fly. As Aurora sleeps, a pink haired girl
walks in. There were back at Serena's house, but they were going back to the
future soon.
"Aurora, it's time to go home."
"Give me a minute."
Rini walks out and Aurora opens her eyes. Athena lifts her head up and shakes
it. She stands up and walks over to the door.
"Hey, Athena. How are Helios and Elysion doing?"
Both are doing fine. Elysion is back to its original life and Helios is
once again high priest.
Aurora nods and sits up. After defeating Nelephina and detransforming, her hair
had stayed long and thin. And now her eyes had sort of a silver glow to them,
mixed in with the pale blue.
"Alright, let's go home."
Aurora gets up and walks over to the door. She opens it and both girl and
pegasus walk out into the hallway. Athena swishes her tail and Aurora combs
through Athena's mane with her fingers.
"Knowing Rini. She's probably outside."
Athena nods and both walk outside.
"I wonder if Amara and Michelle are alright."
"We're fine." A voice says.
Aurora turns around and smiles brightly.
"Amara! Michelle!"
Amara smiles as Aurora runs over and hugs her. Michelle traces her finger over
Aurora's left cheek and Aurora shines away.
"Ow. Don't do that."
"You got hurt protecting us." Michelle says, sadly.
"None of the other scouts knew the battle was going on. I had to protect
you."
Both Amara and Michelle smile.
"Aurora! Athena! It's time to go!" Aurora hears Rini's voice call.
Aurora waves bye to the two and walks off. Athena noses them and follows
Aurora.
"How do you think it will feel going home?" Aurora asks.
"Oh I don't know. Everybody will be happy." Rini answers.
Aurora smiles and both lift up their time keys.
"Raye's going to be mad." Aurora says.
"Why?" Rini asks.
"Aurora! Aurora, wait!" A voice calls.
As a pillar of pink light touches down to take Aurora and Rini home, a girl
dressed in red runs up. Aurora turns to her and smiles.
"Hi VesVes."
"I have something for you." VesVes says
"What?" Aurora asks, tilting her head to the side.
VesVes holds out her hands and opens them. Aurora's eyes light up and she hugs
VesVes.
"Thank you! Thank you!"
VesVes laughs as Aurora takes the gold chain and red crystal and puts it around
her neck. It shimmers in the sunlight and VesVes smiles.
"I guess it's yours. Your welcome."
Aurora smiles and holds out her hand. Four crystal roses appear and she hands
all four to VesVes.
"One for all four of you."
VesVes nods and steps back. Aurora goes over beside Rini and Athena. Both wave
and Athena whines loudly to say good-bye.
"Hope nobody has gotten sick." Aurora says as she steps into the light.
Streaks of silver appear in the light as Athena steps up.
"Aurora, look out!"
Black lightning courses through the pillar and Aurora cries out.
"AURORA!" Rini cries as the pillar disappears with Aurora and Athena
inside.
She swears she hears Aurora scream her name, but she's not sure.
