Star-chan: Hello! Next chapter!
Hart: Another cliffhanger possibility.
Star-chan: Actually, I think this maybe the last part-
Neko: You *FINISHED* a *STORY*!! *faints*
Star-chan: Oh well.
DISCLAIMER:
Star-chan: I don't own Sailor Moon.
Neko: *waking up* Huh? You sure?
Star-chan: Yes, unfortunately.
Neko: You mean fortunately.
*~*
The Sailor Scouts were having a tough fight. Zoycite wasn't going to be defeated easily. Mars had a burn on her left leg, where the general managed hit when she forced the priestess's attack back at her. Mercury nursed a burnt right arm from the same attack. Jupiter had a few scratches here and there. But they held steady as Zoycite slowly began to weaken.
*~*
Darien wasn't sure what had possessed him to kiss Serena, but he was sure indebt to it. Her lips were soft and unyielding, starting to return the kiss. They both would have been happy to be like that forever, his arms around her waist, her arms around his neck, ignoring the battle taking place about thirty yards away.
Serena soon needed to breathe, or faint right were she was. She slowly slid away, resting her head on Darien's shoulder, breathing like she just ran a mile. Serena could feel Darien's head resting on top of her's, breathing hard also.
Thoughts were flying through her head at top speed. Everything seemed like a blur of color racing through her head. She couldn't keep one tear from being shed. Everything was happening so *fast*.
Darien saw the tear and mistook it. "Serena," he whispered, and with a huge effort, pulled her away so he could look into her eyes. "Why are you crying? Did I do something wrong?"
Serena's eyes widen and she cried, "No! No, you didn't do a thing wrong! It's just . . .," She paused, looking down. "Everything that's happened in the past day, it's just stressful." Realization hit her fast. "Where are the Scouts?!"
Darien remembered the battle then. "C'mon, we've got to get out!" He yanked Serena up and helped her to support her until she could on her own.
"No, we have to help them!" Serena yelled frantically. She looked around quickly, her hand rising to grip her broach to find it missing. "Where's my broach?!"
"I have it, Serena," Darien said as he watched her closely. He held out the broach to her. Serena grabbed it from his hands and prepared to transform.
"Since I know you're Tuxedo Mask, you should my alter-ego also." She thrust the broach into the air and yelled, "Moon Prism Power!"
Lights flashed and suddenly, Sailor Moon stood where Serena had once been. Darien was shocked and opened his mouth to ask something, but Sailor Moon cut him off, saying, "We can talk about this later, Darien. I've gotta help."
Darien took one look in her eyes and knew he couldn't say 'no' to her. He sighed and said, "Let's go, my Meatball Head."
*~*
The Sailor Scouts were definitely in trouble. Zoycite was firing off attacks in all directions, forcing the scouts to dodge the attacks on them before firing a counter-attack. Suddenly, a rose and a golden disc slammed into Zoycite, the rose hitting her in her right shoulder, the disc striking arm on the same side. She screamed and turned to glare at Tuxedo Mask and Sailor Moon standing in a doorway.
The scouts, highly relieved, shouted, "Sailor Moon!"
"C'mon, let's get rid of her!" the Meatball Headed Scout shouted. "Combined attack!"
The scouts readied their powers and Tuxedo Mask prepared to throw another rose. "NOW!"
"Moon Tiara Magic!"
"Mars Fireball Charge!"
"Jupiter Thunder Crash!"
"Mercury Bubbles Blast!"
And to the shock of all the warriors, another voice cried, "Venus Crescent Beam Smash!"
A golden beam joined the rope of lightening, fire, and bubbles that had surrounded Sailor Moon's tiara and Tuxedo Mask's rose.
Zoycite screamed as the attack hit her dead center. "NOOOOOOOOO!!!"
The blonde general crumbled to dust, leaving three crystals where she once was. For a minute, everyone just stared at the pile of dust, waiting as if Zoycite was going to rise out of the ashes. When she didn't, Mercury whispered, "We did it. I can't believe it."
Jupiter clapped the shy girl on the shoulder and laughed. "You'd better believe it, girl. Ding, dong, the witch is dead!" The Sailor of Jupiter threw her arms in the air and started what appeared to be a jig.
Everyone laughed at Jupiter's impromptu victory dance before remembering the gold beam. There, in a different entrance, a girl with long blonde hair half pulled back with a red ribbon and dressed in a yellow and orange sailor scout uniform stood. "Hi!" she said, walking forward. "My name's Sailor Venus. Guess I came at the right time, huh?"
They all nodded. "I'm Sailor Mercury. The one in red is Sailor Mars-" Mars smiled at the newcomer, still nursing her burn. "-And the green one is Sailor Jupiter." Jupiter nodded at Venus while continuing her dance. "And Sailor Moon, our leader, is over-" Mercury looked over to point out Moon, only to see her and Tuxedo Mask were gone, along with the three Rainbow Crystals.
"That Meatball Head!" Mars scoffed, and Sailor Venus giggled.
Jupiter, finishing her dance with an odd flourish, looked around. "Maybe we should leave too. No offense, but this whole dark and dreary theme is starting to bug me."
The four sailors walked out of the building, three knowing full well they'd be yelled at by a small black cat called Luna for letting Serena leave with Tuxedo Mask.
*~*
Serena and Darien, not Tuxedo Mask, were sitting quietly on a bench, not too far away. Gently, Darien placed an arm around Serena. She smiled and leaned into the embrace. "Sere, I think we need to talk," Darien said quietly. Serena sighed and looked up into his eyes.
"Do we have to?" she whined, pouting slightly. Darien chuckled, and tightened his grip around her.
"Yes, we have to," he replied lovingly. "I see you're well enough to whine again." Serena pouted deeper, before sighing.
"Well, what do you wanna know?" The blonde redirected her gaze to the stars that were coming out one by one.
"For starters, who do you love?" His question caught her off-guard. Serena lifted her head to look the black-haired man next to her, confusion plainly writing across her features.
"Huh? Dare, what do you mean?"
"Do you love me, or Tuxedo Mask?" Though a small smile still played across his lips, all traces of humor were gone from his eyes. Serena stiffened in her seat. This was what he wanted to talk about?
"Well, do you love me, or Sailor Moon?" she challenged, clearly forgetting about what had happened about fifteen minutes prior. Darien raised an eyebrow.
"I thought that was obvious. I love you, Meatball Head, remember?"
Serena blushed. "I- well, I- The point is, I love *you*, Darien, not a tuxedo-wearing superhero."
The man smiled. "I thought so," he replied. "But I wasn't sure."
The meatball headed girl rested her head yet again on her love's shoulder. "Well, are you sure now?"
Darien laughed, looking at the girl with obvious love in his eyes. "I suppose. But there's a better way of reassuring myself." Before Serena could say anything else, Darien swept her up in another passionate kiss. She sighed softly, returning the kiss with all the love in her heart.
Slowly, the moon rose, bathing the new couple with its silver light, who remained oblivious about their true fate, and that at the same time, while they celebrated their new relationship, two millennium-old lovers were reunited at last.
