Recarnation, Part One
Chapter 3
Disclaimer: I did not make up the Sailor Senshi's, they belong to Naoko
and everybody else associated with the right. Some of the Inner's name
are made by Aurora Eos Rose and used with premission.
This is my own version of the death of the Senshis. Traditonal
Senshi/General pairing. If you like the anime-pairings, I'd suggest
you do not read this. No flames, please.
This chapter is mostly Ami's (Amelia) memory of her last moments.
All the senshi's flashbacks will be written in third person.

// Amelia clicked on the third earring in her left ear as
youmas swarmed around her. With the visor over her eyes, she could
pinpoint the exact locations of their energy source. She drew her
sword, slashing at their Achilles' heels, instead of decapitating
them like her friends were doing. Moments later, she leapt high into
the air to avoid a beast's crude but sharp weapon, yelling
"Foam Screen."
Millions of bubbles flew from her hands to form a thick fog
around her opponents, befuddling them. But she could see perfectly fine
with her sharp eyes. Moving noiselessly, she easily ducked their randomly
swinging weapons and sent many down to Hades. She smiled slightly
*Pluto should thank me for making his world so popular, but I doubt
even he holds any love for youma souls.*
A loud sound, like fingernails on blackboard, filled the air as her
sword made contact with one of the youmas, causing Amelia to curse under
her breath.
*Perfect, just lovely! Who ever gave those things such hard skins
that even the sharp of blades of Mercury cannot pierce through is in for a
major earache!*
She sighed, and send a quick burst of mind-speech to hi no senshi.
~Rhia, I need you by the tenth gate. Some of those things need to
have their scales shattered before I can kill them, so I need your fire.~
Red filled her mind as Rhia's voice (limited though only she could hear,
as not to distract the others) answered
~I'll be right there.~
A couple of minutes passed before a large fireball cleared away the
remains of the mist, and Rhia stood next to her, a wry smile of her lips.
"Thanks, Ame. I nearly lost a couple of limbs because I couldn't see,
thanks a lot to your bubbles."
Amelia giggled lightly.
"Sorry, but I'm glad you're still in one piece. So, ready to get
cracking?"
Rhia nodded quickly
"Whenever you are."
Amelia turned to face the mass of youmas. A stream of ice appeared between
her hands, forming the delicate shape of a harp created from pure frozen water as she
yelled:
"Aqua Rhapsody!"
Immediately, Rhia's fire arrow followed her stream of ice, spedding towards the
immobile youmas, melting the ice, and a deafening crack that sounded like lightning
threatened to break the two girls' eardrums as the scales broke, shattered by the two
heat extremes.
~Brilliant, Ame. Now let's finish them off.~
Rhia's voice was enthusiastic. Amelia watched her flip over the heads of the
youmas, before she lost sight of her dark-haired friend and turned her attention to the
creatures still in front of her. Now that their scales had been cracked open, Amelia
attacked in a series of movements, her body bend at seemingly impossible angles to reach
the newly exposed flesh, sliding her sword neatly between the scales. Soon, the ground
at her feet was slick with dead body parts and blood. Ice spurted from her hands as she
wiped the sweat off her forehead, giving herself a moment of pause. She was about to
attack again when the youmas scrambled to get away from her. Amelia raised an eyebrow,
realizing something was wrong. The air was to dark and cold, and footsteps echoed in
the sudden stillness enclosing the twenty-foot space around her. A person stepped towards
her, and she felt as if someone had taken her heart and shredded it into millions of
pieces: she would recognize those long curls with a hint of red and startling green eyes
anywhere.
"Zoisite?"
her voice was soft, as if she was talking to a vision, a vision that would
melt away if she spoke too loudly. Her pupils were tiny with shock as the man raised
the sword, it's tip pointing toward her chest. Amelia went wild, her voice almost
at a screaming pitch, high and unnatural.
"It can't be you, you're dead!"
She was trembling all over. The man smiled cruelly.
"You wished it to be so, didn't you, Amelia?"
He spat the last word as if it had a foul taste.
"So you could marry that lowly scum, couldn't you?"
The blue-haired soldier didn't answer as she swayed, her emotions threatening
to overpower her. At last, she opened her eyes, brimming with tears, to see Zoisite
holding a sword to her neck.
"Gomen nasai, Victoria. Forgive me that I could not protect you."
With that, she threw her own sword toward Zoisite's vital organs just as his
saber cut her throat from one ear to another. She collapsed, blue blood pouring from
her wound as she gasped for breath. Zoisite, meanwhile, had been restored his soul and
memory, Beryl's brainwashing spell fading. He smiled weakly at Amelia, moving a hand
to cover her wound, intending to soothe her terrified gaze.
"I'm sorry, Amelia. Will you give me another chance in our next lifetime?"
His voice was a whisper on the wind, his life force fading quickly. Amelia
used her last amount of energy to utter one word that sealed her fate.
"Hai."
before her eyes turned blank, her soul leaving her body, never knowing that
Zoisite's pulse had stopped the second she uttered her last word. //
I bit my lip from crying out. Even the many years I spent fighting had not prepared
me for the horrifying sight of my friend dying, forced to fight against her soul-mate.
Was this the same way it had been for Rhia and Lena? Would it be the same way for me?
Suddenly, a voice behind me growled,
"Die, angel!"
I ducked, purely by instinct, and felt the sword whip over my head. My left
leg kicked out, using his moment of instability to throw him off. Kunzite crashed to
the ground, accidentally beheading Amelia. This time, I screamed, watching my friend's
head roll off her shoulders, and ran. Behind me, I heard him curse, but I didn't care.
I just wanted to get away from those two dead bodies, and only in my subconscious did
I realize that I was searching for the others. My eyes blinded by tears, I tripped over
a prone body - and did a double take.
"Nephrite?"
I asked cautiously. He coughed loudly, blood flowing from his lips, and opened
his eyes, which were their natural brown color, filled with pain at that moment. He
grabbed my arm, and my body tensed, should he decide to attack me, but he whispered
hoarsely
"Warn Victoria, Mary."
He coughed again, before continuing,
"Beryl.. brought us. She... wants... Endymion and power, and... seeks to
kill... Vicky and Selene."
He paused for a moment.
"She tore our souls... from us..."
Another cough.
"Death restores... it. And... tell Lena... I'm... sorry."
His head rolled to one side, and he stopped breathing. I loosened his death
grip on me, and ran towards the throne-room, my mind whirling as so many things
I had wondered about in the past hour became clear. I reached out with my mind,
relieved to find that the last barrier was still holding out against Beryl's assaults.
Two gates further, a group of curious youmas clustered around something. A sense of
foreboding filled me, and I lashed out with my strongest attack
"Love and Beauty Shock!"
They went up in flames, shrieking in pain. I stepped closer, and saw
a body clothed in pink and green. Blood was flowing freely, and the body looked
as if wild animals had mauled it. I held my hands over my mouth to stop myself
from vomiting, recognizing Lena's badly bruised face. I told myself sternly that
I did not want to see her death, but my hand found its way to her forehead, and
the wave of memories hit me so quickly that I nearly fell.
