Recarnation, Part Two
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 second life of the senshis. Since
Minako is my favourite of the Inners, I set this is London, England,
where she fought evil as Sailor V before she met the others. The time frame
is 1721. I might have things wrong, since I don't know that much about London
society and protocol and everything, so don't complain about those.
I've a bunch of classes to worry about, so I don't have the time to go back
and change every little detail that I've wrong. Sorry about that. I
hope you like this one.
Ace and Adonis are not the same person.
And some characters are from CCS, and they belong to Clamp.
The poem belongs to SailorPerfect, from 'Emerald Earth', a few words
changed to fit this story's purpose, and used with premission.

Half an hour later, the redhead returned, with Serenity
in tow. Her cheery smile was gone, replaced with sadness.
"Thank you for telling me."
She said softly, her musical voice full of regret.
"I've had this dream of impending death for someone who feels
close to me for weeks now, and you've cleared it up for me."
Her eyes turned distant.
"I've had other dreams before, dreams of power and pain. My
psychic powers have always aroused suspicions, but one of my dreams
told me that there will be a time to make provision for our next life
time."
Her eyes refocused, and she pulled us into the garden, a
clearing surrounded my trees, and we followed curiously. She took
my hand, and Lita's as well, and we continued with her example,
forming a circle, joining not only our hands, but also our souls.
"Listen to your heart." She whispered softly, raising her face
toward the nighttime sky, and started chanting.
(A.N. first two lines is Serenity, then Lita, Diane, Aria, Cassie, and
Serenity again, each with two lines to speak)
On this night, in this place,
A vow, a promise, we shall make,
To come together in this land,
Thunder, my right, hear my command!
To save one another, to face our past,
Water and Ice, forever last!
To see our loves, won and lost,
Beauty and Grace, whatever cost!
Fire and heat, blood and flame,
We make this vow, this fear we tame!
Destruction and creation, the power of our lives,
We make this vow, the elements five!
Lighting split the sky, water and fire fought, and gold
light mingled with white. And in a second, everything returned to
normal. None of us spoke, for we all knew that the vow had been
craven in stone, and was irremovable. Everyone stood stone still,
as if frozen in time, until a voice broke through the aftermath
of the spell.
"Serenity? Let's go back."
The girl gave a wobbly smile, and called back.
"All right, Matthew. I'm coming. I've had enough fresh air."
And without a backward glance, she ran toward the voice.
Her departure revived us from our stupor.
"Let's get our seaport cabin back."
We moved quickly to our nearest underground tunnel, knowing
that our clothes had already been stored there. Slipping behind
buildings and melting into shadows, I felt someone watch us. I narrowed
my eyes, and a flash of bright silver caused me to curse in a language
especially reserved for the battlefield, but it was already too late
to change our plan.
"Diane, Lita, Cassie! Hurry! Kevin has been following us."
A frown ceased their brows, but we continued to move. A quarter
hour later, we had arrived at our seaport cabin, dressed and armed for
the occasion. The fight was already in full swing. I shook my head, deciding
it had been an extremely bad idea to tell our girls to kill as many as they
could before the four of us arrived. We rushed into the fray, dispatching
a group of the enemy gang's members that we'd caught by surprise. Sadly,
I had underestimated the Asuka Gang, for the leaders arrived quicker than
my estimation.
We faced off, four against four, and the real war began.
Blows were traded often than insults, and kicks met punches. I stared
at Kevin, impassionate. Lita was furious with Neville for betraying her
in her past life, and was determined to kill him this time, once and for
all. Diane had become like her element, eyes icy as she attacked Zavier.
Cassie embodied fire, too hot to touch as she unleashed her anger with a
furry of kicks and hits. The war was vicious and fast, and within minutes
all of us were dripping with wounds and sweat. Guns were not allowed between
the leaders of the Asuka Gang and Jade Gang, so we attacked with knifes and
daggers. The others had stopped their own fight to watch us.
One by one, each of us fell. Diane was the first to fall. A kick
to the head had knocked Zavier unconscious, and she stabbed him to the
heart, ending his life, before she collapsed from a cut to the thigh where
blood was flowing freely. Jareth went down as Lita's dagger missed Neville,
instead hitting Jareth. Right before he died, he threw his knife at Cassie,
destroying her vital organs. She landed next to him, blood pouring from her
lips. Lita was next, bashing out Neville's brains with an upward punch a
heartbeat before a dagger pierced her throat. Neville had thrown it when he
saw the attack coming. It was down to Kevin and me, just like last time.
Tears were flowing freely down my cheeks, watching each of my friends die a
second time. Kevin remained cold, but the heaviness of his movements
betrayed his pain. He brought his arm back, intending to slice open my throat,
and leaving his right side unprotected. I dove for the kill, my knife
embedding itself deeply in his side, just as his dagger lodged itself in my
chest. I waved the girls who had wanted to come to my aid back, breathing
harshly. They slowly obeyed my command, leaving respectfully, and the
Asuka Gang followed.
"Bring Raven and the others."
I told the last girl leaving, hoarsely. She nodded quickly, and
within seconds the four girls arrived. I smiled weakly.
"Girls, don't protest. You four will become the next leaders.
Raven, take mine bracelet, Rose, take Cassie's, Diamond Diane's, and Violet
Lita's. Promise me that you'll make peace with the Asuka Gang."
They complied wordlessly, crying for the first time since they joined us.
"Now leave."
They obeyed, not because they wanted to, but because loyalty had always
come first, and that meant following orders without questions. I moved over to
Kevin when they had left, and his eyes opened. He smiled, a smile filled with
gentleness and sorrow.
"Marianne, it's like last time, isn't it?"
I nearly choked.
"You remember?"
He nodded.
"I'm sorry that our second chance had to end like this, but we couldn't
abandon our Gang, no matter how much we wanted to avoid a war with you four."
I shook my head.
"You don't need to explain; I would have acted the same way if the
order had been reversed. I promise I'll see you in my after-life."
This time, his eyes were full of pain.
"I don't think I'll ever see you again, Mary. I've led a life of
wickedness, killing without remorse, and jumping from one bed to another.
Heaven and hell will never meet."
I leaned down, trying hard not to cry.
"I'm married to you, and our souls bonded, our bodies becoming one. I'll join
you, always."
He lifted her hand to my cheek.
"No, Mary. You have to find happiness somewhere else."
"There will always be a hole in my heart without you. Aishiterou, Kunzite."
I whispered, using Lunarien instead of English, as well as his past name.
"To be with you, I would even embrace the fires of hell with joy."
He opened is mouth to argue, but I cut him off with a kiss, and surrendered to
the darkness engulfing me, my soul leaving the next second.
**************************
Epilogue (This will be written in third person tense, because Aria is dead):
At the same time, ten miles away a figure in pink with silver-colored hair
collapsed along with her dark-haired husband, their breathing labored.
Pains ripped through their bodies, appearing in shocking waves. The fourth
time, their hearts stopped, and their soul left this earth, their bodies
disappearing. Though their families searched long for their children, no
trace of them was ever found, just like the bodies of the leaders of the
Asuka and Jade Gang had vanished. Many thought that they had been thrown
into the sea by their murderer, while in reality they had been sent toward
the future, toward a new life, and reborn to new families. Would they finally
achieve happiness this time, or will history repeat itself?
The End
_________________________________________
End of Chapter 7, Recarnation Part 2. I'll start working on Part 3 as
soon as I find a appropriate idea. I know this one was kinda strange
(image five nearly perfect girls as criminals!). Hope you liked it.
Please review. If you've any idea for Part 3 (the time frame has to
be between 1721 and the Negaverse), please e-mail me. I've decided to
do five parts of Recarnation, but I honestly don't know what the next
setting should be. The Bombing of Pearl Harbor, WWII, Hawai? The Fall
of Hitler? The second industrial revolution? The Civil War between the
North and South? Please give me some ideas, since I think it'll be
really boring to jump from 1721 right to their present life. And drop me
a note, 'kay?
