"Ken??" exclaimed Lita, "What are you doing?" "Ehh..He he. Hi everyone."
"That's Ken?" wisphered Minako, "He's a hunk you know." A sweat drop
appeared above Litas head. "Um, I hadn't noticed that Minako."
"If I was blind, I'd see that the guy's hunk." "Okay, Now what
are you doing here Ken?" "I saw you walk here and I wanted to know what
you were doing." "Exactly what did you hear?" Harukas voice demanded an
answer. "Umm. Something about senshis betraying. I didn't hear anything
about you being the senshis. Honest!" Serena motioned to the others
to come closer. "What shall we do? Should we tell him or let Luna erase
his memories?" asked Serena. "You can't erase his memory. It would
disrupt the time line. We must tell him." "To tell him would be the right
decison, your highness" said Hotaru. "Hotaru I thought I told you no to call
me that." "Sorry, old habits die hard." "But we will tell him right?" asked
Iku. "We will tell him." said Serena with a determind voice. "Who should
tell him?" asked Chuuko. "I think Lita should do it. After all, they were
close before." said Michiru. "I agree, it should be Lita." said Amy.
Everyone looked at Lita who nodded. "I'll tell him." "Okay, let's
give Lita time to tell Ken about this. Meeting here tomorrow,
same time." said Serena. "Okay" answered everyone and they turned back
to Ken. "Lita will explain everything to you when she feels it the
right time. Just don't go and talk about this." said Serena.
After Serena had finished speaking, Lita made a motion towards the door
to make Ken follow her. Lita kept her pace up and walked to her apartment.
Ken was desperatly trying to keep up with Litas pace.
Lita pulled out her key and opened the door to her apartment. Ken had just
gotten there, heavily panting from the ^Walk^ to Litas aparment.
"Sit down, I'll make some tea. You're going to need it." said Lita and
went inside the kitchen. Ken took of his jacket and sat down in the
comfortable sofa in the living room. A moment later, Lita came out
with tea and some cookies. She pored tea in both of the cups and
motioned towards the cookies. "Take one, it's your favourite."
"Double Chocolate Chip cookies?" "Double Chocolate Chip cookies" said
Lita with a smile. "I missed them," Ken paused and looked down in his cup.
Then he looked straight into her eyes. "I missed you to Lee." whispered
Ken. "Then why?" "Why did I go with Alinoë? Why I got engaged to her?
I don't know. At first I thought she was irritating and boring. But then
it changed. Suddenly I felt something for her, that I never had felt for
her earlier. It was like honey to a bee. I wanted her badly." "But still.
Why didn't you say something to me? You could've at least told me instead
of sending an invitation card to your wedding." "I know Lee. It's
not a good excuse, it's not even an excuse. Every time I was about
to call you or book a ticket so I could see you, Alinoë always came
and interrupted me. If I ever said a word about you, she'd start a
fight. It was like she was jealous and I don't know why."
"But I know. It sticks together with the stuff I'm supposed to
tell you about. It all started..."
Lita started telling the tale, how the Silver Millenia fell,
the defeat of Beryl and Metallica, the sad tale of Ali and Ann,
The black moon familys attack. They talked for hours before they
finaly came to the present. "Every people have a star seed.
But there's only one Star seed that Galaxia wants.
We managed to turn her anima mates back to normal senshis,
now she's alone. Galaxia was once a Senshi, she was called the
golden senshi. She fought Chaos and managed to seal it inside of
her self. But Chaos corrupted her from within. She turned evil
and started to take over the universe. According to Chuuko or
Iron Mouse, Galaxia sensed a huge amount of power inside of you.
She took a disguise as Alinoë and seduced you, kept you under her
thrall." "All the time I thoght I liked her, it was actually a spell."
Ken shook his head. "I should have known." "How could you?
Galaxia is an extremely powerful senshi. Wait a minute, how come
you're not with her now. You couldn't have broken the spell unless..."
"I woke up one day and looked down at her. I realized that she was
nothing. That day was yesterday, I broke the engagement and booked a
ticket to get here as soon as possible. I..If..Oh..," Ken seemed to
wage a war in his head. Then he looked up again. "If it hadn't been for
Alinoë...I was going to ask you out the same day she came.
I've wanted to ask you out ever since Freddie. But you just moved on,
not noticing me." Lita looked down at her hands. "I did notice you,
I just didn't want to risk anything. I didn't want you to get hurt."
"It wouldn't matter, I'd rather have a second with you then an
eternity without you." A tear made it's way down Litas cheek.
Ken cupped her chin and dried of the tear. He slowly leaned down
and kissed her softly. "Will you go out with me Lita?" "I'd love to."
"I think this is why I could break the spell. The first thought I
thought was she's not Lita." "Oh Ken...If thing only were simpler."
"What's to stop us from going out? I want to and you want to.
There's nothing to stop us." "Oh, but there is." said a new voice.
"Mangetsu? What are you doing here?" "The talking cat? What's he doing here?"
"*hmpf* I resent that. I am the personal advisor to the
Princess of Jupiter." "If you'd start explaining to him what's
happened more and especialy what's happened with you." said Mangetsu.
"Alright. As I said, we managed to turn the anima mates back to
normal. Galaxia had destroyed their galaxy and killed all senshis
except them. She made them her slaves, using them. In the last fight
with the last remaining evil anima mates, I was attacked when I wasn't
transformed. The others came and helped me, Venus knight was
ordered to take me away. He jumped away with me, away from the battle.
But about three blocks from the battle, I died." "You died? But you're
here, how can you be here?" "Calm down young man, she's getting to it."
said Mangetsu. "I died, but my parents from this time and my mother
from the Silver Millenia saved me. It was then I was changed.
I finally recived my birthright.
I got to the battle in time and saved the others. Before I got home and
collapsed on my bed. That night, I dreamed about a wonderful planet,
Jupiter. With a huge population and an advisor acting as a regent.
I found out that Jupiter actually had survived the attack and that they
were waiting for me to return and seize the throne. But I learned
of something else." "Wow. Your people still lives and waits for you.
I didn't think anyone could survive the attack." "Mangetsu here
was with me when I woke up the next day. He explained it all to me.
There's a prophecy about me, the incarnation of the Supreme Goddess."
"You're a goddess??" "She is, that's why you can't go out with her.
She's destined to Jupiter Knight and only him. He's her soulmate."
"And if we find him, I'll have to see to that he's either not awakened or
kill him if he turns evil." "My god Lita." "That's me." said Lita with a
weak smile. I can't understand how you can bear this. I mean,
knowing that you're an incarnation of a goddess
and the fact that you might have to kill your own soul mate" said Ken
while thinking 'that's not me'. "You get used to it. Hopefully,
he won't rise yet." Lita looked at a clock. "We should get to bed
now. You can take the guest room. You know where to find it."
Lita rose and took the empty tea cups and plate.
Ken sat in the guest room thinking about what he'd been told.
He fiddled with somehting small in his hand. 'I never should've
left her. Now I'll never know'. A tear slipped down his cheek
as he put the old engagement ring in his pocket. The ring his
father gave to his mother the night he proposed. Ken sighed and
slipped under the covers. He didn't hear the heated discussion
in the room down the hall.
"You can not go out with him! That's final." "Why not? Who's going to
stop me?" "I will stop you. You may be the incarnation of The Supreme
Goddess, but you have a duty to your people. You won't go out
with him!" "You're just a cat. How are you going to stop me?"
screamed Lita and marshed into her bathroom. She looked at herself
in the mirror, She wanted to go out with him. But no, she had a duty.
Blah blah wuf wuf. She breezed into her room not caring about Mangetsu.
She climbed on her bed and slipped under the covers. She slept uneasily,
tossing and turning in her bed. Once again, Lita dreamed.
She saw herself walking away with Mangetsu, instinctly she knew it was the
last day they had seen eachother alive before the fall. She noticed a tear
sliding down his cheek and that he clutched something in his right hand.
"You'll never know now, Mako." He opened his hand. On his palm layed a
ring made of pure platinum with an emerald in the middle and sapphires
surronding it. "Why didn't I ask earlier." asked Shinosaki into the night.
The wind seemed to whisper. "Yeesss....Whhyy.." A laughter was heard.
Shinosaki swirled around with his hand on his broad sword handle. "Who's
there?" A person with a long black cloak wrapped tightly around it's body
moved towards him. "Just little me" said the person before throwing back the
hood. "Beryl!" "Charmed to meet you. My my, what a fine speciment you are.
If I didn't have my orders, I'd probably claim you for my self." with that
Beryl lashed out with her hand. From her hand a ball of negative energy
emerged, speeding towards Shinosaki. With that Lita woke up screaming,
she sat there in her bed straight up. It was then she noticed the
beeping from her communicator. "Jupiter here." "Jupiter, you better
hurry. There's a huge youma outside Starlight Tower." said Sailor Mercury.
"I'll be there." Lita transformed quickly, welcoming the rush of
power flowing through her. She opened her balcony door and
jumped on to a roof across the street. Knowing that her friends was
in really big trouble, Jupiter teleported her self to the tower.
The sight that greeted was gruesome. Only Sailor Moon, Tuxedo Mask and
Saturn knight was concious. The rest lay motionless on the street.
"Finally!" rumbled the youma. It started to shimmer and flicker.
A dark hole appeared on it's chest and started spreading.
The hole soon engulfed the youma. The place where
it stood was pitch black. Then it disappeared, in the youmas
place stood Galaxia. "Now I can begin." with that Galaxia
attacked the last senshis standing. "Galaxia Solar Wind!"
Waves of light washed over them. Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask
collapsed. "Sorry Lita, I couldn't hold on." whispered Sailor Moon
before she lost concious. "You didn't fail, the opposite infact."
With that Jupiter focused and the Senshis and knights started glowing.
They lifted from the ground and then in a flash, they were gone.
Jupiter nodded towards Saturn Knight. "Let's get this over."
Jupiter now had her staff in her hands, she felt it's weight and
looked on it. Then she looked up at Galaxia with malice.
"Jupiter Morning Star Evoulution!" "Saturn Death Moons!"
The attacks combined and headed towards Galaxia. Galaxia stood
there, right in the middle of the attacks. The attacks vanished
about a foot from Galaxia. "You didn't think I was prepared this time?"
said Galaxia with a smile. "Think again, I will have the
Jovian star seed!" Again Galaxia attacked, this time the
attack was much more powerfull. "Galaxia Solar Wind!"
At the same time, Ken layed in the bed tossing and turning. He dreamed,
people everywhere. Whipsering. "Wake up...Wake up...Wake up..."
The whispers escalated into normal talking tone.
Then someone shouted. "Wake up!" Ken immedeatly opened his eyes,
sitting straight up in the bed.
Sitting straight up in the bed, Ken looked around
him. This wasn't Litas guestroom. Disoriented, Ken rose from the bed and
looked around him. The room was about ten times ten meters, the roof
was high and clear like crystal. On the south side of the room was a window.
He went up to the window and looked out. What he saw made him gasp.
There on the sky, rose the earth. 'This sure isn't Kansas Toto' thought
Ken. "No it's not Kansas Ken, or should I say Shinosaki?" said a voice
from behind. Ken swirled around and looked at the person in a doorway
that hadn't been there earlier. Judging from the resemblance with Serena
and what Lita had told him, he concluded. "Queen Serenity I assume."
Odly enough it felt like he had done it earlier. "Quite right young man.
You always were bright back in the Silver Millenium." "I was in it?"
Ken was confused now, how could he have been in the Silver Millenia.
"You were there as Shinosaki, bodyguard of the Princess of Jupiter."
"I was Litas bodyguard?" "You were, but just not only that. I didn't
know this untill later, but it seemed like my request about Litas
presence interrupted something." "I'm afraid I can't tell your highness."
"Oh but you can, you can" said Serenity as she waved her hand towards Ken.
It hurt, it hurt like hell. Memories flooded through his brain. It felt
like his brain was thrown down in a velvet pouch filled with cotton candy
and knife sharp glass shards. He kneeled and grabbed his head in pain.
Writtering in pain on the floor while Queen Serenity just watched.
'I'm sorry for this, Shinosaki. But you have to know.
Stand up, stand up and claim it.' As if responding to the Queen,
the pain ended and Ken rose. He looked down on his clothes and
frowned. He closed his eyes and focused. His clothes started to
shimmer in a deep green color. It flashed and in his clothes place
was a black armour with intrict dark green almost black carvings.
"Your higness, it's a pleasure to meet again." said Shinosaki as he bowed.
"It's good to see you again to. Now did I interrupt something that last
night?" A tear slipped down Shinosakis cheek, "I was going to
propose just as Mangetsu came after Mako. I hadn't had the courage
untill then, and then...then the alliance fell." Shinosaki clenched his fists.
"I'm sorry Shinosaki, but I needed her there then." Shinosaki laughed
a bitter laugh. "Oh I know, I do know and understand. But I've always
regretted that I didn't ask her earlier." "But now you have your chance."
What chance? She's engaged to The Jupiter knight. She will do it to
serve her people. She will do anything for her."
"You never were told about your birthright. A birthright that was
appointed to you from the beginning of this world.
Remember and accept it.....Remember and accept it." Again voices filled
his head. "Remember...accept..remember....accept..." Shinosaki
clutched his head. The voices continued their chanting. He slumped to
the floor. Then he shoot up like a cork. "I remember...I remember...
Be aware my wakening, but fear my wrath!" shouted Shinosaki before
collapsing. The darkness claimed him.
Sailor Jupiter teleported herself and Saturn Knight away from the hit.
A tree that had stood behind them when the attack hit was destroyed.
There wasn't anything left where it stood, just black scorching marks.
'Shit, she's stronger than I thought. I don't want to use them yet.
I want an ace up my sleve the last time I confront her.' thought Lita.
With that, Jupiter threw her self at Galaxia. Throwing a quick, hard
punch that caught Galaxia of guard. Jupiter attacked Galaxia fiercly.
She grabbed her arm and threw Galaxia. Galaxia landed a bit from there.
Jupiter didn't waist any time, she launched her self at Galaxia again.
But this time, she crashed right into an energy shield. "You really think
you can take me on? Pathetic." Saturn Knight had managed to creep up
behind Galaxia while Jupiter attacked. Moving stealthy he shouted his attack.
"Saturn Death Moons!" The attack hit the shield and crushed it easily.
Seeing her chance, Jupiter to attacked. "Jupiter Morning Star Evolution!"
Saturn Knights attack hadn't the same power as Jupiters Morning star attack
since it had passed through the shield. But it had enough power to make
Galaxia scream in anguish. Then Jupiters Morning star attack hit.
This attack hadn't been weakend, this one was at it's full power.
Galaxia flickered and disappeared. "Do you think we got her?" asked
Saturn knight. A laughter was heard. "You really think you can kill
me that easy? Think again." "Galaxia? But you disappeared. You're dead."
"Really, I must say I feel very good for being dead," Galaxia grinned.
"But then again, it's my shadow that's dead." "Your shadow?" asked
Jupiter and Saturn knight. "My shadow, a neat little trick. I give power
to a shadow that acts like me. Now, it's time for you to die.
Galaxial Dome....Enclose!" he dome appeared around Jupiter and Saturn Knight,
trapping them efficently. Galaxia smirked, she had them right where she
wanted them, the only ones that could threathen her power rise.
"Galaxial Solar Wind!"
Again, Shinosaki could hear vocies. This time a special voice could be
heard. The voice of his soulmate, calling to him. Begging him to come and
help her. He could feel the pain she endured, knowing how she continued
to fight even tough she was hurt. He swam up through the pich black sea,
reaching the surface. Finaly regaining concious. On his bed sat Queen
Serenity. "You hear her, do you?" "I hear her, I feel her just as I always
have" hissed Shinosaki through gritted teeth. "Take this, then go to her,
help her, Head her call." Queen Serenity held a sword in her hands.
It wasn't a broad sword, it was a slim katana blade. It was engraved
with wines and leafes, it clearly radiated power, raw power.
Shinosaki hesitantly reached for the hilt. He clasped it and felt a
rush of power flood through his veins. "Go. Go Jupiter Knight,
heed your soulmates call, go to the chosen one." Queen Serenity waved
with her hand and a portal opened up. Shinosaki
leaped through the portal, landing right in the middle of the attack
and the dome.
The attack hit Shinosaki, but it didn't stop him. Shinosaki slashed
Galaxia at her ribbs. Galaxia shrieked in pain, "Who're you?"
"Hurt my mate again, and I'll cut you into bits and feed you to the
dogs!" hissed Shinosaki through his teeth. Jupiter and Saturn knight
sighed in relife as the attack didn't hit them. Jupiters heart
started pounding, she stretched out with her senses. She
could feel him, he was here. He heeded her call, he came for her.
Jupiter smirked inside of the dome, She couldn't do anything now,
but that bitch would pay. She'd pay alright. "Your mate? You can't be,
not you..You can't be.." Galaxia trailed of. "Oh I can't be, really.
Now that was intresting. Let's end this now." said Shinosaki with
malice in his eyes. "Jupiter Dragon!" A dragon like Sailor Jupiters dragon
appeared and trashed the dome, freeing Saturn knight and Sailor Jupiter.
Shinosaki moved backwards to Sailor Jupiter, never losing eye contact
with Galaxia. "Are you alright beloved?" "Thanks to you," said
Sailor Jupiter with a smile. "So the Jupiter Knight has finaly awoken.
He has awoken and he's on the light path. Not for long" said Galaxia.
Sailor Jupiter and Jupiter knight smirked at Galaxia,
then the two joined their hands and called : "Jovian Moon Eclipse!"
A huge moon appeared, then the it began to disappear, leaving a
black ball hoovering in the air. It began shrinking and pull it
self together. Then it flashed and sped towards Galaxia. The attack
happened very quickly. Galaxia didn't have a chance to shield her
self. The attack hit with full force knocking Galaxia away. Trees
near her where incinerated. Though the great pain, Galaxia collected
her self and hissed "I'll be back and then, nothing's going to stop
me!" Galaxia disappeared in a flash.
"You came to me..You came back to me." said Sailor Jupiter while
caressing Jupiter Knights cheek. "As I always promised, I came to
you. As I always will do." A tear slipped down Jupiters eyes as
they kissed. The other senshis had recovered and finaly managed
to get to the tower. Sailor Saturn had hurried towards Saturn knight
as soon as she could. They kissed once then looked at the two from
Jupiter. Sailor Jupiters and Jupiter knights tears mixed
as they kissed, their transformations melted away. Leaving
them as Lita and Ken. Destined for each other.
"The time has come, now it all begins. The last battle..."
whipsered Sailor Pluto softly. No one heared her, but the wind
carried her words far. On a distant planet, word was spread.
The Princess will return.
*******************************************************************************
"Ken??" exclaimed Lita, "What are you doing?" "Ehh..He he. Hi everyone."
"That's Ken?" wisphered Minako, "He's a hunk you know." A sweat drop
appeared above Litas head. "Um, I hadn't noticed that Minako."

Shinosaki swirled around with his hand on his broad sword handle. "Who's
there?" A person with a long black cloak wrapped tightly around it's body
moved towards him. "Just little me" said the person before throwing back the
hood. "Beryl!" "Charmed to meet you. My my, what a fine speciment you are.
If I didn't have my orders, I'd probably claim you for my self." with that
Beryl lashed out with her hand. From her hand a ball of negative energy
emerged, speeding towards Shinosaki. With that Lita woke up screaming,
she sat there in her bed straight up. It was then she noticed the
beeping from her communicator. "Jupiter here." "Jupiter, you better
hurry. There's a huge youma outside Starlight Tower." said Sailor Mercury.
"I'll be there." Lita transformed quickly, welcoming the rush of
power flowing through her. She opened her balcony door and
jumped on to a roof across the street. Knowing that her friends was
in really big trouble, Jupiter teleported her self to the tower.
The sight that greeted was gruesome. Only Sailor Moon, Tuxedo Mask and
Saturn knight was concious. The rest lay motionless on the street.
"Finally!" rumbled the youma. It started to shimmer and flicker.
A dark hole appeared on it's chest and started spreading.
The hole soon engulfed the youma. The place where
it stood was pitch black. Then it disappeared, in the youmas
place stood Galaxia. "Now I can begin." with that Galaxia
attacked the last senshis standing. "Galaxia Solar Wind!"
Waves of light washed over them. Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask
collapsed. "Sorry Lita, I couldn't hold on." whispered Sailor Moon
before she lost concious. "You didn't fail, the opposite infact."
With that Jupiter focused and the Senshis and knights started glowing.
They lifted from the ground and then in a flash, they were gone.
Jupiter nodded towards Saturn Knight. "Let's get this over."
Jupiter now had her staff in her hands, she felt it's weight and
looked on it. Then she looked up at Galaxia with malice.
"Jupiter Morning Star Evoulution!" "Saturn Death Moons!"
The attacks combined and headed towards Galaxia. Galaxia stood
there, right in the middle of the attacks. The attacks vanished
about a foot from Galaxia. "You didn't think I was prepared this time?"
said Galaxia with a smile. "Think again, I will have the
Jovian star seed!" Again Galaxia attacked, this time the
attack was much more powerfull. "Galaxia Solar Wind!"
At the same time, Ken layed in the bed tossing and turning. He dreamed,
people everywhere. Whipsering. "Wake up...Wake up...Wake up..."
The whispers escalated into normal talking tone.
Then someone shouted. "Wake up!" Ken immedeatly opened his eyes,
sitting straight up in the bed.
Sitting straight up in the bed, Ken looked around
him. This wasn't Litas guestroom. Disoriented, Ken rose from the bed and
looked around him. The room was about ten times ten meters, the roof
was high and clear like crystal. On the south side of the room was a window.
He went up to the window and looked out. What he saw made him gasp.
There on the sky, rose the earth. 'This sure isn't Kansas Toto' thought
Ken. "No it's not Kansas Ken, or should I say Shinosaki?" said a voice
from behind. Ken swirled around and looked at the person in a doorway
that hadn't been there earlier. Judging from the resemblance with Serena
and what Lita had told him, he concluded. "Queen Serenity I assume."
Odly enough it felt like he had done it earlier. "Quite right young man.
You always were bright back in the Silver Millenium." "I was in it?"
Ken was confused now, how could he have been in the Silver Millenia.
"You were there as Shinosaki, bodyguard of the Princess of Jupiter."
"I was Litas bodyguard?" "You were, but just not only that. I didn't
know this untill later, but it seemed like my request about Litas
presence interrupted something." "I'm afraid I can't tell your highness."
"Oh but you can, you can" said Serenity as she waved her hand towards Ken.
It hurt, it hurt like hell. Memories flooded through his brain. It felt
like his brain was thrown down in a velvet pouch filled with cotton candy
and knife sharp glass shards. He kneeled and grabbed his head in pain.
Writtering in pain on the floor while Queen Serenity just watched.
'I'm sorry for this, Shinosaki. But you have to know.
Stand up, stand up and claim it.' As if responding to the Queen,
the pain ended and Ken rose. He looked down on his clothes and
frowned. He closed his eyes and focused. His clothes started to
shimmer in a deep green color. It flashed and in his clothes place
was a black armour with intrict dark green almost black carvings.
"Your higness, it's a pleasure to meet again." said Shinosaki as he bowed.
"It's good to see you again to. Now did I interrupt something that last
night?" A tear slipped down Shinosakis cheek, "I was going to
propose just as Mangetsu came after Mako. I hadn't had the courage
untill then, and then...then the alliance fell." Shinosaki clenched his fists.
"I'm sorry Shinosaki, but I needed her there then." Shinosaki laughed
a bitter laugh. "Oh I know, I do know and understand. But I've always
regretted that I didn't ask her earlier." "But now you have your chance."
What chance? She's engaged to The Jupiter knight. She will do it to
serve her people. She will do anything for her."
"You never were told about your birthright. A birthright that was
appointed to you from the beginning of this world.
Remember and accept it.....Remember and accept it." Again voices filled
his head. "Remember...accept..remember....accept..." Shinosaki
clutched his head. The voices continued their chanting. He slumped to
the floor. Then he shoot up like a cork. "I remember...I remember...
Be aware my wakening, but fear my wrath!" shouted Shinosaki before
collapsing. The darkness claimed him.
Sailor Jupiter teleported herself and Saturn Knight away from the hit.
A tree that had stood behind them when the attack hit was destroyed.
There wasn't anything left where it stood, just black scorching marks.
'Shit, she's stronger than I thought. I don't want to use them yet.
I want an ace up my sleve the last time I confront her.' thought Lita.
With that, Jupiter threw her self at Galaxia. Throwing a quick, hard
punch that caught Galaxia of guard. Jupiter attacked Galaxia fiercly.
She grabbed her arm and threw Galaxia. Galaxia landed a bit from there.
Jupiter didn't waist any time, she launched her self at Galaxia again.
But this time, she crashed right into an energy shield. "You really think
you can take me on? Pathetic." Saturn Knight had managed to creep up
behind Galaxia while Jupiter attacked. Moving stealthy he shouted his attack.
"Saturn Death Moons!" The attack hit the shield and crushed it easily.
Seeing her chance, Jupiter to attacked. "Jupiter Morning Star Evolution!"
Saturn Knights attack hadn't the same power as Jupiters Morning star attack
since it had passed through the shield. But it had enough power to make
Galaxia scream in anguish. Then Jupiters Morning star attack hit.
This attack hadn't been weakend, this one was at it's full power.
Galaxia flickered and disappeared. "Do you think we got her?" asked
Saturn knight. A laughter was heard. "You really think you can kill
me that easy? Think again." "Galaxia? But you disappeared. You're dead."
"Really, I must say I feel very good for being dead," Galaxia grinned.
"But then again, it's my shadow that's dead." "Your shadow?" asked
Jupiter and Saturn knight. "My shadow, a neat little trick. I give power
to a shadow that acts like me. Now, it's time for you to die.
Galaxial Dome....Enclose!" he dome appeared around Jupiter and Saturn Knight,
trapping them efficently. Galaxia smirked, she had them right where she
wanted them, the only ones that could threathen her power rise.
"Galaxial Solar Wind!"
Again, Shinosaki could hear vocies. This time a special voice could be
heard. The voice of his soulmate, calling to him. Begging him to come and
help her. He could feel the pain she endured, knowing how she continued
to fight even tough she was hurt. He swam up through the pich black sea,
reaching the surface. Finaly regaining concious. On his bed sat Queen
Serenity. "You hear her, do you?" "I hear her, I feel her just as I always
have" hissed Shinosaki through gritted teeth. "Take this, then go to her,
help her, Head her call." Queen Serenity held a sword in her hands.
It wasn't a broad sword, it was a slim katana blade. It was engraved
with wines and leafes, it clearly radiated power, raw power.
Shinosaki hesitantly reached for the hilt. He clasped it and felt a
rush of power flood through his veins. "Go. Go Jupiter Knight,
heed your soulmates call, go to the chosen one." Queen Serenity waved
with her hand and a portal opened up. Shinosaki
leaped through the portal, landing right in the middle of the attack
and the dome.
The attack hit Shinosaki, but it didn't stop him. Shinosaki slashed
Galaxia at her ribbs. Galaxia shrieked in pain, "Who're you?"
"Hurt my mate again, and I'll cut you into bits and feed you to the
dogs!" hissed Shinosaki through his teeth. Jupiter and Saturn knight
sighed in relife as the attack didn't hit them. Jupiters heart
started pounding, she stretched out with her senses. She
could feel him, he was here. He heeded her call, he came for her.
Jupiter smirked inside of the dome, She couldn't do anything now,
but that bitch would pay. She'd pay alright. "Your mate? You can't be,
not you..You can't be.." Galaxia trailed of. "Oh I can't be, really.
Now that was intresting. Let's end this now." said Shinosaki with
malice in his eyes. "Jupiter Dragon!" A dragon like Sailor Jupiters dragon
appeared and trashed the dome, freeing Saturn knight and Sailor Jupiter.
Shinosaki moved backwards to Sailor Jupiter, never losing eye contact
with Galaxia. "Are you alright beloved?" "Thanks to you," said
Sailor Jupiter with a smile. "So the Jupiter Knight has finaly awoken.
He has awoken and he's on the light path. Not for long" said Galaxia.
Sailor Jupiter and Jupiter knight smirked at Galaxia,
then the two joined their hands and called : "Jovian Moon Eclipse!"
A huge moon appeared, then the it began to disappear, leaving a
black ball hoovering in the air. It began shrinking and pull it
self together. Then it flashed and sped towards Galaxia. The attack
happened very quickly. Galaxia didn't have a chance to shield her
self. The attack hit with full force knocking Galaxia away. Trees
near her where incinerated. Though the great pain, Galaxia collected
her self and hissed "I'll be back and then, nothing's going to stop
me!" Galaxia disappeared in a flash.
"You came to me..You came back to me." said Sailor Jupiter while
caressing Jupiter Knights cheek. "As I always promised, I came to
you. As I always will do." A tear slipped down Jupiters eyes as
they kissed. The other senshis had recovered and finaly managed
to get to the tower. Sailor Saturn had hurried towards Saturn knight
as soon as she could. They kissed once then looked at the two from
Jupiter. Sailor Jupiters and Jupiter knights tears mixed
as they kissed, their transformations melted away. Leaving
them as Lita and Ken. Destined for each other.
"The time has come, now it all begins. The last battle..."
whipsered Sailor Pluto softly. No one heared her, but the wind
carried her words far. On a distant planet, word was spread.
The Princess will return.
