Fate has brought us together
Chapter 23: Goodbye my Nemesis, the destroyer
___________________________________________________________________________
*In space*
The blasts were getting more and more violent. The entire galaxy shook with despair. Cosmos was trying to reach Chaos but to no avail. It had a couple of lengths in advance.
She made a grim face, while trying to go faster. 'There's no doubt by now, that Galaxia and the Starlights felt the power emitted from our battle. I'm surely going to get it later…'*(see author's note at the end of the chapter) She stretched her wings at their maximum, which was at least 2 times her full height and soared through the empty darkness, leaving a trail of silvery blood behind.
They were getting closer, she could tell it, she could feel it. And she didn't want that. Chaos was enjoying himself a little too much, laughing maniacally and blasting everything on his way, while looking behind to see if she was still there.
Cosmos gritted her teeth as he threw a blast right at her shoulder blades, actually burning her wings, but she didn't stop. She was exhausted and completely destroyed internally, but she didn't stop. For Harry, she would never give up. No, not ever.
The Cosmic mark on her forehead shone momentarily at her determination. She narrowed her eyes. Was that Pluto they just passed? "Chikuso!" With their speed, they passed Jupiter in no time. That's when she had enough.
She pushed her body at its limits and stopped Chaos right in its track. It sneered. "You're really starting to piss me off, you know?" "And you've been pissing me off since you were born. Don't give me that shit! Leave them alone, they don't have anything to do with us. Fight me!" Chaos gave a bark of laughter. "Fight you?! You can barely fly! Ha!" "Maybe so, but you gotta admit I did a pretty good job at beating your ugly ass too!" She smirked when Chaos growled. Then, he attacked savagely.
His evil energy surrounded his body and he forced her to do the same with hers. Sparks flew in all directions and some headed towards the Earth. They were face to face. Chaos let out another blast and it struck her on the arm, but she took no heed. She countered it rapidly, never letting him get the upper hand.
"THUNDER DRAGON!!!" The gigantic thunder made dragon that came forth took not only Chaos by surprise, but Cosmos too. Then, she remembered. They were in space. Being near the attack's planet of origin helped greatly. It was a sign of hope.
Chaos had been damaged considerably. He was sagging and had trouble gaining back his composure. Cosmos didn't waist her chance and attacked again. "Dead…SCREAM!!!" Chaos took the hit head on. He was badly injured, and he was mad as hell. He turned towards the blue planet and grinned sadistically. "Say goodbye!"
*In the mean time, At Hogwarts*
"What's going on?!" Ronald Weasley stood beside his girlfriend, while Harry strained his vision upwards, still leaning on his godfather. Nobody really dared to talk. Helios walked to Harry, ignoring the sword on the ground. He looked tired and resigned.
"Her attacks are more powerful in space, that's an advantage, at least." Harry turned to the white haired boy weakly. "That dragon was huge. It was Jupiter's attack, the 'thunder dragon', was it? And what? A red planet orb…Pluto's 'dead scream'? That's gotta take a lot of energy from her, doesn't it? If we can actually see these attacks from here…"
Helios sighted silently, his shoulder slouching in the process. "I just hope she doesn't die…" Sirius cut him. "I thought she was immortal? She'll come back anyway, right?" He really looked anxious about her.
"Chaos is her ultimate enemy. If she dies in this battle…Of course, she'll come back. But the Fates could decide to erase all memories of us and of this world from her mind and ban Earth from her 'planets to protect' list. She would become ruthless and a real fighting machine, with nobody to rely on and love. That…would be a bad thing."
Harry's expression was one of pure pain and Helios turned his gaze away from the green eyed boy guiltily. "I didn't know that…"
The boy sagged suddenly, catching the attention of his friends. He had started to breathe heavily again. Harry hissed in pain as a tremor shook through him. He had lost too much energy in his fight. Hi view started to blur and he got light headed.
Suddenly, a student's attention got attracted upwards and she screamed. "WHAT'S THAT???" Surely, a black orb was forming right before Earth. Helios looked on with horror and paled.
"Oh shit. He's really going to launch it." Snape was livid. "What boy?! What is he going to launch?!" Helios trembled, putting his head in his hands, and the potions master took a step back. There was a muffled response. "A black hole…"
The headmaster looked completely powerless, for once. The twinkle in his eyes was now nonexistent and his tone of voice was old and tired. "God help us all…"
*Back in space*
Cosmos paled as she comprehended Chaos' intentions. She easily recognized this attack. After all, Sailor Lead Crow and Tin Nyanko had used this against her and her counterpart; Chibi Chibi. He was going to destroy the entire solar system!
An image of a smiling Harry flashed in her head. She smiled serenely, right before flying right in the center of the black hole, surprising Chaos. The black hole enlarged in the blink of an eye and Chaos swore. A flash of pure energy pierced through the growing dome.
She floated in darkness. It looked so vast from inside. Last time, she had lost her Star Seed. But now, she was awake and she didn't hesitate. Cupping her hands together, she called on her power source to come forth. The Cosmos Seed, symbol of the universe, appeared in front of her chest. She frowned a little.
'Chaos killed my friends. As their princess, I will avenge them in my previous form!' She winced in pain as the Cosmos Seed detached the Ginzuishou from itself and went back to her heart. She reverted back to her Moon princess form, but her eyes and hair had not changed color. She gazed at the Silver Crystal in sorrow.
"You've given me quite the troubles over these past years, Ginzuishou, but this war will end now. MOON! CRYSTAL! POWER!!!!!!" A blinding light filled the area and burst through the black hole, effectively destroying it. Chaos screamed in pain and was thrown backwards from the shockwaves.
The princess soared through the light and the Silver Crystal put itself back together with the Cosmos Seed. It transformed into a lethal looking sword and Chaos paled. Before he could even utter a word, she slashed him numerous times. She kept slashing and slashing, then, she brandished the sword upwards.
"Sword of Sealing, hear my plea! Put him in so many dimensions, he will never be able to find all his morsels and come back!!!" Thousands of small portals appeared and started to suck him in him. She gave Chaos one last look of pity, before the portals vanished into oblivion.
"Harry…" Her eyelids dropped heavily. She let go of the sword, which vanished in his turn. She searched for one last trace of energy in her body, teleporting herself back to Earth.
*Hogwarts*
When the people from the ministry saw the destruction of the menace, they started to yell in joy and party. Running all over the grounds and laughing with joy. However, some were still and frowning at the disgusting behavior shown before them. A total lack of respect and concern for the worries of others.
Harry had his eyes closed when he heard her tired voice, denuded of life and happiness; 'Harry'. He opened his eyes with some effort and gazed in front of him, ignoring the shouts from the uncaring people. They were acting as if they had been the ones destroying the enemy. Dumbledore was about to show them how to behave when a flash of light gained their attention.
The light slowly took form. Crouch gave a delighted laugh and started to walk to the young women, but he set foot on something slippery. He stopped and looked down; a pool of something silver was flowing on the ground and getting bigger. He frowned questionably, then his eyes followed the trace to its origin…He paled and took a step back. The others paralyzed in shock.
Serenity was only vaguely aware that she had completed her teleportation. She sunk on the dusty earth, unable to stay on her feet, numb all over. She was covered in bruises, scars, gashes and lacerations of all sorts, proofs of Chaos evilness.
Her breathing had rapidly slowed, although remaining in gasps. She looked like she was fighting for consciousness. Harry took her appearance with dread. Her hair and wings were matted with blood, hell! She was literally entirely soaking in it. He had to go to her! He... He had to!
Ignoring Sirius' protests, he detangled himself from his godfather's grip and limped to her slowly and painfully, only to let himself fall on his knees in front of her. His pants were beginning to soak from her blood but he paid no attention, nor did he pay attention to the entire group of people who were now staring at them.
He embraced her with all he had. It took her time to respond to his touch. She wasn't really conscious of what was happening anymore, but she surely recognized the warm touch and voice flowing silently to her. They leaned against each other for support. "Serenity…"
"Ha…Harry…It's. finally over…Finally…I…I love you. I'm sorry! So…sorry…" Then she fell unconscious in his arms, all huddled against him. He hugged her tightly to himself, murmuring 'love you too', before his world went black.
Sirius and Helios rushed to them in a hurry, scared as hell. "Thank the gods…They're not dead…."
