Recarnation, Part One
Chapter 5
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 Rei's (Rhiannon) memory of her last moments.
All the senshi's flashbacks will be written in third person.

// Continuing to cut down the oncoming masses of youmas,
Rhia moved to help Marianne, back to back as they lunged and slashed
in perfect harmony, a whirlwind of death. Mary held out her hands,
and the chain around her waist flew into her hand. Twirling it lazily,
she bound a scaly, green youma, and started swinging it around in large
circles. Rhia chuckled softly, amused at the comic scene. Mary looked
like a slave driver whipping the horses into a faster gallop. The youma,
after he had been released, intended to crawl away, but a high heel but
an end to that pleasant dream. He shuddered once before he stopped moving.
Gold tingled her thoughts as Mary's voice spoke
~Gods, Rhia, you're brutal~.
Rhia raised an eyebrow, before replying haughtily
~Not any more brutal than you are~.
They faced the never-ending masses of oncoming youmas. Marianne
grinned at her,
"You know, Rhia, I don't think Beryl is all that eager to find us."
The raven-haired girl smiled, understanding the hidden message. If she
wasn't going to find them, they'd have to find her. By an unspoken signal,
they both jumped high into the air, flipped forward twice, and landed on two
youmas who were unintelligent enough to not move out of the way. Both were
crushed under their heels. A giggle escaped Mary's lips, watching some of
these beasts glancing up at the sky, wondering where the flashes of gold
and red had gone.
~Ready?~.
Gold tingled her mind. Rhia returned the favor
~As ready as I'll ever be.~
Marianne started her attack.
"Crescent Beam!"
A beam of brilliant light flew from her fingertips, as Rhia quickly
followed her example
"Snake Fire!"
Both girls spun, and the energy beams flew through the air like
whips, destroying all the youmas within a 100-foot radius. Mary clapped
her hands in delight.
~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.~
Amelia's voice sounded in her minds, tingled with blue. Mary turned
to the hi no senshi, her eyes sad.
"Take care, Rhia. If you get yourself killed before me, I'll never
forgive you."
The raven-haired girl smiled slightly, her voice teasing.
"Believe me, Mary, I don't indeed to."
Marianne hugged her tightly. Rhia ran towards the tenth gate,
dispatching youmas all the way to there, leaving a bloody trail.
A unusual coldness and a shimmering mist in front of her announced the
position of the tenth gate. Rhia growled, swearing as she tried to
find Amelia and nearly lost her life by some randomly moving blade.
A movement of blue gave her an estimation about Amelia's whereabouts,
and she send a blast of fire into the mist, praying that she'd read the
signs correctly and Ame hadn't been hit. The fog cleared, and Rhia
grinned at Amelia's startled features.
"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 followed her example, as her fire arrow sped toward
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, as she flipped over the youmas' head,
attacking swiftly, resembling a ray of the sinking sun. Clearing away a mass
of beasts, she hurried swiftly towards the last gate before the throne-room,
knowing that it would be the concentration of Beryl's attacks. She slipped onto
a balcony, and jumped from it to land amidst a group of Guards (six in all),
in blue and silver, guarding the door. They turned on her, their blades
unsheathed, before bowing their heads in respect and apology. Rhia lightly
inclined her head, accepting the apology, and send them out to scout the
battlefield and report back to her. They followed her command without protests,
disappearing toward the sound of clanging metals. The Guards hadn't left
for more than a minute, when six screams simultaneously sounded and the
sickly smell of burning flesh turned her stomach. She realized that it
had been the guards when a blond man stepped into the light, his aura
black. Her eyes grew wide, but her face remained impassive. An ironic
smile twisted Rhia's lips, though her cheeks had become a waxy pale color.
"Jadeite, what a pleasant surprise."
She mocked lightly, her tone sugary sweet, despite the fact that
her entire body was trembling with rage and pain. He bowed, his eyes never
leaving hers, and replied in the same tone,
"Can't say the same for you, Rhia."
Rhia's amethyst eyes turned a shade darker, almost black, though
the smile did not leave her face,
"My name is not Rhia. It's Princess Rhiannon of Mars.",
she said, indirectly forbidden him to use her nickname.
"My apologies, Rhiannon."
He ran a hand through his tousled hair, and Rhia used his moment of
distraction to attack in a complex routine. One heel aimed for his windpipe,
but Jadeite grabbed it, holding her immobile for a moment. Then he twisted it,
smiling at the crack and the taut flash of pain across her face before releasing
her. She grimaced as the ankle touched the ground, but continued to attack. They
continued their deadly dance in front of the gate, but it was obvious that
Jadeite was winning. Rhiannon had been fighting since the middle of the night,
while he had been peacefully resting until Beryl send him out to kill his love.
They moved back and forth, staying close to the gate. He kept drawing her into
locked positions, hold her immobile of her couple of moments, enjoying her anger,
before breaking another bone. He smiled at the torture he knew she was enduring.
Rhia bit her lip, the pain in her body almost none compared to the hole in her heart.
Flashes of fire kept him from completely winning, and she dropped to her knees,
grabbing her discarded blade in the remaining wrist that had not been broken yet.
She swiped at his feet, but he evaded it, instead knocking her on the head with
the butt of his hilt. She slumped over, unconscious, and Jadeite pierced through
her heart with one malicious thrust of his sword. He kicked her over, so that her
face was facing the sky as a warning to all the enemies of the Dark Kingdom who
passed by, and left to find Kunzite, should the silver-haired man need help to
defeat the last and strongest of the royal planetary warriors, Princess Marianne
of Venus. //
I gently let Rhia fall back, tears coursing down my cheeks. I stood
slowly, surprised to feel no barrier as I walked towards the gate. Suddenly,
a bright light filled the sky, and the Holy Tower of the Moon glowed like the
star.
*Selene.*
I thought, hope filling me. I rushed inside the throne-room, and -
grabbed a pillar to keep myself from collapsing. Victoria was surrounded by
a puddle of her own silvery blood, her hands closed around a huge sword with
a golden hilt, embedded deep in her stomach. Her eyes were vacant and blank,
and her chest stayed still. Next to her lay Endymion, eyes closed in endless
sleep, but his face was filled with agony. I slowly stepped forward, as if in
a trance, and placed my hand on her cheek, closing my eyes in fear of the memories
I would see.
