Recarnation, Part One

Chapter 6

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 Usagi's (Victoria) memory of her last moments.

All the senshi's flashbacks will be written in third person.

// Victoria stared straight ahead, her hair flowing in an

unseen wind behind her. Endymion had put his arms around her, as if

sheltering her from harm. Selene was nowhere to be seen. The prayer

spiral grew, and the couple lifted hopeful eyes toward the shining light.

Suddenly, Victoria swayed, nearly falling over. Her voice was soft,

as if she was detached from the real world,

"She's strong. Much stronger than I gave her credit for."

Endymion helped her upright, but a second later, she gave a soft

cry and fell, hitting his chest. The prince felt the inner shield come

crashing down, no longer protecting them. Darkness grew, not twenty feet

from him, before condensing to form the shape of a beautiful woman - a

woman with long flaming hair and yellow eyes, a woman with horns in her

shoulder and fangs in her mouth, a woman whose hate had twisted her face

into an ugly mask, a woman who had wanted love and sold her soul for it,

a woman who had started this war and destroyed an entire civilization just

for the love of one man. "Beryl." Endymion snarled, his midnight blue eyes

flashing in anger.

"I never believed a lady from my own court would turn on me. When

I first learned it was you, I couldn't believe it! Well, your personal

appearance certainly shattered that doubt!"

His eyes had narrowed, and anger laced every word. The woman -

Beryl - smiled, a smile full of malice, and pointed one finger with long

nails in the color of fresh blood, at Victoria

"So, you chose this little witch over me?"

Endymion pulled Vicky close to him, who was glaring at Beryl with a

hatred none had ever expected her to have. The older woman laughed mockingly

at her,

"Don't look at me like that, little princess. You were never destined

to have his heart; it was promised to me since the beginning of time. Do not blame

me for your fate."

The prince glared at her.

"I love her."

Three little words, but the truth in them made Beryl lose her composure.

Her smile wavered, before diminishing into nothing, and she launched a black

energy bolt at Victoria. Endymion reacted faster than thought, throwing himself

between Beryl and Vicky, getting hit instead. Beryl shrieked, her eyes widening

in horror, and disappeared in a swirl of black. Victoria let a cry tear from her

throat, lowering the dead weight onto the ground. The prince slowly opened his eyes,

"Vicky?"

His voice was as gentle as cobwebs.

"Are you all right?"

Victoria nodded, tears spilling down her cheeks. A hand lifted, wiping

her tears away.

"Don't cry, Vicky. I'll always love you, you know that, don't you?

I promise you, someday, should fate grant us the chance, I'll find you again,

no matter what."

His head rolled to one side, and Victoria screamed, a scream filled with

agony and horror, that tore through the heart of anyone who heard it.

"Endymion!"

She fell onto the floor, sobbing uncontrollably. Her hand slowly stretched

out, unlocking his grip on the sword, before holding it to her stomach. Leaning over,

she pressed a gentle kiss to his cold lips, whispering,

"I could not be with you in life, so let me try in death."

Shutting her eyes against the pain, she pressed the sword into her body,

her hands closed around the hilt. She collapsed, her head pillowing against his

chest as the life force flowed out of her veins and her soul left her body. //

Chapter 6, also in paragraphs. I know this chapter was really short, but I've used

up most of my imagination for the dreadful death scenes, not to mention that Usagi

didn't really do any fighting, so no moves used. Anyway, Usagi and Endymion are by no

means my favourite characters (don't hurt me if you like them). Anyway, next chapter will

be the fight between Minako and Kunzite. I hoped you enjoyed the story so far. Please review.
