Chapter 13
"The Senshi have arrived"
Screams filled the air as they saw Usagi crash against the barrier. Realization dawned onto everyone as one chilling thought ran through everybody's minds. 'You-know-who.' But their attention soon was focused onto Seiya, when they all saw a brilliant flash of light engulf him. Their eyes grew wide with shock, as the light faded there stood no longer a he but a ..... SHE! Instead of seeing Seiya, there stood Sailor Star Fighter. Gasps filled the air once again, as all the students starred at the leather- clad senshi.
"What the hell are you thinking?!" screamed a ticked off Yaten, completely ignoring the stares.
Fighter glared at Yaten, "You really are stupid! We were given the duty to protect the princess and not just stand by and watch her getting killed by her own senshi!" she countered loudly. She calmed down a bit and stared into Yaten`s green eyes, in a low voice she added, "We are here to protect her, even if it means we got to reveal ourselves,"
~
Harry stared at Seiya with huge eyes, so maybe it was easy to accept that Seiya is a senshi but what's harder to accept and digest is that Seiya turns into a GIRL, wearing rather skimpy clothes in black leather.
"He's a senshi," breathed Harry in shock still staring at Fighter with shock.
"He's a SHE!" added Ron in total awe. His eyes grew wide as saucers as he saw Seiya turn into a girl; it wasn't everyday you saw a guy turn into girl not even in the magical world, concluded Ron.
"He's....I mean she, is Sailor Star Fighter," whispered Hermione. "I've read about the senshi in a newspaper," informed Hermione when she received blank looks from both Harry and Ron.
~Inside the Barrier~
Usagi looked up from the ground when she felt a senshi transform. She saw Fighter arguing with a ticked off Yaten. "Fighter," whispered Usagi, a small smile spread across her lips. She knew her friends weren't going to let her down.
~With the Starlights~
"Fighter's got a point Yaten," said Taiki suddenly his gaze switching from the barrier to the portal and back to Fighter and Yaten. He knew that it was the only reasonable thing to do, "She's right," and before Yaten could even protest Taiki cried out his star yell.
"Maker Star Power .... Make-up!" a brilliant flash of light engulfed Taiki and soon when the light died down in his place stood Sailor Star Maker. As if on cue, gasps of surprise filled the air as the tall star senshi grinned down at a fuming Yaten.
~
"You know what, I think everything is getting clearer by the minute," whispered Ron to both Harry and Hermione upon seeing Taiki's transformation. Harry nodded numbly as the trio continued to stare at awe at the lights.
~
Yaten sighed in defeat, "You gotta be kidding me," he muttered under his breath upon seeing the two star senshi grin at him triumphantly. "I guess I haven't got a choice now?" he asked, he sighed again upon seeing the two nod.
"Healer Star Power.....Make up!" a flash of light enveloped Yaten for a few seconds, as it faded away in his place stood Sailor Star Healer. She rolled her eyes in aggravation upon hearing yet again the many gasps of shock and surprise coming from the students.
Fighter grinned, "I knew you had it in you squirt," she said and patted Healer on the shoulder, who growled loudly. She then turned to the teachers, who also looked quite shocked, and shrugged her shoulders. "Sorry," she mumbled giving them a sheepish grin. Turning to Setsuna, who looked unfazed at all, she winked at the Professor before turning to her fellow senshi. The three of nodded, as if agreeing upon one thing silently, determination evident on their faces as they took several steps back from the barrier.
"STAR SERIOUS LASER!"
"STAR SENSITIVE INFERNO!"
"STAR GENTLE UTERUS!"
Three deathly attacks, swirled together forming one massive beam flew at a high speed towards the barrier. Expecting an explosion, the Starlights gasped in shock upon seeing the barrier simply contract as it was hit by their combined attacks. It quickly changed into a dark shade of purple, for the first time becoming visible to everybody. Soon there was a bright flash of light, and the barrier absorbed the attack simply. The barrier flashed dark purple again before reverting back to its invisible self.
Fighter, Healer and Maker lower their star lockets, shock written all over their faces upon witnessing the unexpected turn of event.
"No," breathed Fighter in shock her fists clenched angrily upon realizing that their plan failed.
"It absorbed our attacks," whispered Maker in disbelief.
"Sh*t!" cursed Healer loudly eyeing the barrier in frustration. "How are we going to help Usagi if that stupid thing eats our attacks?!" she said furiously.
~
"Oh my," whispered Professor McGonagal staring at the barrier with weary eyes. She felt totally lost at the current situation. Not knowing exactly what to do, their magic was useless. "What now Albus?" she asked the headmaster.
"I am as lost as you are Minerva," said the headmaster somberly, earning gasps from the teachers.
"I got a feeling that something went seriously wrong," said Hermione.
"You're telling me," breathed Ron in astonishment.
Harry couldn't believe everything that he was seeing. All the sudden changes that occurred in such little amount of time. He turned his attention back to Usagi, who was currently struggling to stand back up with much difficulty. "So it's true," whispered Harry staring at Usagi, he felt his heart twist in pain as he felt Usagi's pain. "You are Sailor Moon,"
~Inside the barrier~
Usagi struggled to stand up, with much pain and difficulty. She saw what happened to the Starlights attack and she didn't like it. This prison was indestructible. Ignoring the excruciating pain that shook throughout her body, she wobbly stood up and tried to shift her whole body weight onto her good leg.
"No," she whispered in disbelief after finally realizing that there wasn't much to do anymore but wait for the senshi to make their grand entrance. 'Sailor Moon,' she gasped upon hearing Harry's voice. She turned her head and stared at a pale Harry. 'He knows,' she thought sadly. She could see his shock in his eyes. Sighing lightly she turned back towards the portal, yet she wondered why this was happening to her.
~Back with the Starlights~
Fighter had enough, evidently it would be no use if they would send another attack again seeing that the barrier would just absorb it, they needed help. Turning to Setsuna she frowned lightly wondering why the time guardian hadn't henshined yet. "What now?!" she said in frustration, she could not deal with the fact they ther couldn't do anything. "She needs help," she narrowed her eyes at the Defense against the dark arts teacher. "We need help," she added in a small whisper.
"Don't just stand around! Wave that little staff of yours! Help us, do something!" exclaimed Healer waving her arms wildly.
Setsuna sighed, it would be no use if she would just wait until the senshi would arrive and then henshin. Yet she knew that even with their combined attacks, the barrier would not budge, yet alone dent it.
"I believe they are in need of your assistance," said Dumbledore.
Setsuna nodded, yet she felt a foreboding coming to her as she stared at the portal. Turning back to the Starlights, she walked up to them and pulled out her transformation pen. "Pluto Planet Power......make-up!" green light engulfed Setsuna, as it soon faded away, there stood Sailor Pluto guardian of time, time staff ready in hand.
Healer fought the urge to roll her eyes upon hearing the many gasps from the student body. "Took you sure long enough," she muttered darkly at Pluto.
Pluto shrugged her shoulders lightly and walked up to them. "Let's do this again," she announced readying her time staff. 'It won't work,' her mind chided lightly as she released her attack along with the others. She watched with fascination as their attacks were absorbed easily but it looked like they did make a difference. The portal became visible, it looked like it wasn't able to sustain the attacks very well.
"Damn it," cursed Fighter loudly.
"Well, at least we can now see it," whispered Maker staring at the dark purple barrier.
"Oh yeah, that reeeealy helps," said Healer sarcastically.
~Back inside the Barrier ^_^~
Usagi leaned heavily against the purple barrier, feeling somewhat dizzy. She could feel the barrier vibrate lightly under her. 'At least they tried,' she mused lightly while wiping away blood from her forehead. She stared at the four senshi wearily and gave them a rather tired smile, "It's alright, I'll do my best on my own," she said, she knew that they couldn't hear her but she felt that they all got the message. She gasped as she felt the pain intensify. Taking several deep gasps of breath, she tried hard to stay conscious as she was beginning to drift in and out of consciousness.
Laughter soon rang out through the pitch, she looked up upon hearing the spine chilling laughter. "Serenity," various voices giggled. "We're here!"
Usagi looked up sharply and stared at the portal with much fear. She felt her blood ran cold when she saw a black boot step out of the portal. First stepped out Tuxedo Mask, now in his prince form. Then one after the other the Sailor senshi stepped out, looking very much......amused.
~With Harry and the others~
Gasps and whispers erupted from the stands s they saw the senshi appear before their very eyes.
Harry starred with wide eyes as the senshi stood before the portal all smirking cruelly. He had a bad feeling about this, as he saw their smirks broaden, somebody will get hurt. "Usagi," he whispered as he saw her fear stricken face.
~Back inside the portal~
"Miss us?" said Endymon, in a cold sinister voice. His eyes boring hungrily into Usagi's with a hungry glint.
"Why would I miss you?!" said Usagi angrily, she summoned her staff and leaned heavily on it. Her heart was now beating rapidly against her chest as she starred at the each of her former senshi.
"Get away from her!" shouted Fighter angrily through the portal, gaining the attention from all the senshi.
Endymon smirked and began to walk over to the Starlights and Pluto and stared at them through the portal. "What's this? The Starlights, couldn't handle your job alone Serenity?" he sneered. His cold eyes wandered towards Pluto and he began to smirk, "Pluto, the traitor. You betrayed me and the senshi, shame on you,"
Pluto narrowed her eyes, "I am not the traitor. You and the senshi are the traitors. How dare you say such a thing," she said fiercely glaring at the prince.
"I thought we don't allow foreign filth into our system," said Uranus, giving Fighter a loathing look.
"Unlike you, we are here to protect YOUR princess, from her own guards," spat Fighter glaring at Uranus. She hated it not being able to do help, it made her fell so useless.
Endymon gave them one final smirk before turning away and walking towards Usagi.
Usagi's heart begun to bet faster against her chest as she watched him approaching her. "Don't you come near me! D-don't even try!" she stammered, trying frantically to find a way to get past him.
Endymon smirked as he stood before the Moon princess. "Afraid my love?" he whispered into her right ear.
Usagi's eyes widened as she felt his hot breath against her face. She watched him lean closer to her face and smirk down at her. She pulled her face away from him and turned away, "No," she answered lightly, her voice trembling. She was afraid, afraid of what might happen, of what he had to say next to her.
"You are trembling," he whispered. He reached out and touched her pale cheek. "I am back my sweet. Back to take you with me,"
"N-no!" exclaimed Usagi in a trembling voice. She slapped his hand away from her face and tried to back away. She narrowed her eyes and glared at Endymon, "Don't you touch me. You mean nothing to me, nothing at all! You have betrayed me, you all have. I am not going anywhere with you. So leave me alone!" she exclaimed angrily while stumbling away from Endymon. She suddenly felt so dizzy; the lack of blood had gotten the better of her.
The senshi began to laugh, "Do you think we are going to let you go that easily?" asked Neptune giving Usagi a loathing smirk.
"You know what, I never thought you would actually stay in this filthy place," muttered Jupiter while staring around the Quidditch field.
"You know we cant go back to the dark lord with empty hands," added mercury.
Usagi frowned, "What do you want?" she asked. She had a feeling that she already knew the answer.
Mars smirked and stepped up to Endymon. "I know you were dumb, but this is ridiculous. Like we said our master wants you and the crystal," she sneered while placing an arm around Endymon. She knew that he only wanted Usagi for the power to be king and soon he would make her his queen and get rid of the Moon princess but still she didn't like the idea of Endymon with Usagi. Mars smirked, "what now Sailor Moon?" she sneered, stressing the last two words. She silently laughed upon hearing the gasps coming from the stands.
"No," whispered Usagi. She thought about running but canceled it out as she realized that her leg was broken and that she would get far anyway.
"Usagi watch out!" she heard Fighter cry out to her. But it was too late for her to react. She felt Venus' love me chain wrap around her body tightly cutting off much air.
"AHH!" Usagi cried out in pain as she felt the chains tighten around her waist.
Endymon smirked, he loved to see the Moon princess in pain. Pushing off mars' arm, he stepped forward and touched Usagi's cheek lightly. "You know I think we made a mistake," he said thoughtfully. "If you cant have chibi- usa, then I wont be king. Now how horrible is that? So here's the little deal, how about you give us the crystal and we will no longer hand you over to the dark lord. As he had promised all of us that he would grant us great powers and Crystal Tokyo will rise. And instead you....." Trailed off Endymon his eyes roaming over Usagi's body. His hands went up and touched her face, rubbing it lightly. "....You and I shall have chibi-usa,"
Despite the intense pain, despite the current deathly predicament she was in, Usagi began to laugh. "You have to be kidding me!" she said in between painful laughter. "I would never make you my king. I would never love you, not after your betrayal. I would rather be offered to the dark lord or even die than ever be called you wife! Do you really think that Voldemort will grant your wishes? Is that the real reason why you all betrayed me?!" she shouted at Endymon angrily.
*SMACK!*
Usagi's head snapped to the left, the sound of her flesh being slapped silenced everybody. And enraged Endymon stood before Usagi, his right gloved hand raised and stained with hints of blood. "You'll do as I tell you, Serenity," he sneered angrily.
Her hair covered her face, she felt the stinging pain on her cheek, yet it was nothing compared to the pain that racked through her body. She wished she could touch her cheek but still she couldn't, Venus' chain disabled her to do so. Wincing slightly, she turned her head, and faced the enraged prince. She could fell blood trickle from her lip but she ignored it, she continued to stare at the prince.
Usagi smirked, yes, smirked after a long and heavy silence. "I do not follow your orders," she hissed angrily. "I'd rather die, I'd rather die than become you stupid wife! So why don't you just kill me instead? Kill me! Kill me! Kill......Ahhh!" she abruptly stopped her screaming. She felt it, she felt the cold metal being thrust deeper into the side of her stomach. Her eyes went wide as she watched in horror as the sword was pulled out. She ignored the screams of terror, she was too caught up with the pain.
"What the hell are you doing?!" screamed Endymon infuriated, glaring at Uranus.
Uranus shrugged nonchalantly, holding her space sword and watching the crimson blood drip down the blade. "She asked for it," she said simple.
"She is of no use if she's dead!" shouted Endymon staring at Uranus angrily.
Harry ran towards the side of the barrier where Usagi was currently leaning. He ignored the many shouts of protest coming form his friends and the teachers. All he cared about right now was getting near to Usagi as soon as possible. He completely ignored the many watchful stares of the evil senshi through the barrier. His green eyes widened with terror as he watched blood gush from the open wound. Compared to earlier, it may all seem like a puddle but now blood splattered the ground everywhere. 'Usagi....this cant be happening,' he thought as tears stinged his eyes. He wished he could reach out and touch her, but instead only touched the barrier.
"Usagi," whispered Harry, touching the barrier, finally catching Usagi's attention.
"Go away," she rasped slowly at him with pleading eyes. If the senshi would find him, they surely kill him. She shifted her body, trying hard to cover him from view. It was hard to do so, since the chains were restraining her from doing much and the slash in her stomach made it more difficult than ever. She felt queasy as she watched more blood gush out of the slash. Her pants were now a darker shade of crimson. 'This is it, this is the end,' thought Usagi slowly. She faintly listened to the senshi and Endymon argue as she closed her eyes and tried to push the pain away.
"Venus!" barked Endymon angrily staring at the blond senshi of love.
Venus looked up startled, she had been deep in thought at the moment, she almost let go of her chain. 'Moron,' thought Venus darkly while gazing at Endymon with the usual blank look.
"Since you are the senshi of love, tell me if Serenity is still connected to me, if we are still soulmates," he ordered. "If she's not then....." he trailed off, his eyes sweeping over the near to death Usagi.
Venus sighed and followed the prince's order. Shifting her gaze to Usagi she stared at the Moon princes with a steady gaze. (Usagi could have sworn that she saw sympathy in Venus' eyes but it quickly vanished) Venus began to concentrate and slowly closed her eyes as her orange aura surrounded her body. Instead of seeing complete darkness, she saw the outline of Usagi in front of her, glowing bright silver.
"Show me," whispered Venus into the darkness. Out of nowhere a red ribbon laced itself around Usagi's silvery outline. Venus watched as the other end of the ribbon flew gracefully around in the air for a couple of seconds. To her surprise it wrapped itself around an unfamiliar green outline, which stood right behind Usagi. 'She's not connected to Endymon,' mused Venus while watching the red ribbon that tied Usagi's and the other boy's souls together.
"WELL?!" snapped Endymon tapping his foot impatiently.
Venus' eyes snapped open, somewhat annoyed to be pulled out of her meditating state. For one minute she stared at the gasping Usagi with blank eyes. She soon remembered Endymon when she heard someone clearing his throat. Turning to the agitated prince she told him simply, "She's not,"
~With the Starlights~
"Sh*t!" cursed Fighter loudly, earning many strong stares from the teachers.
"If they find Harry then....." Trailed off Maker thinking up the possibilities of what might happen.
"Oh crap," muttered Healer, staring at Harry.
Pluto silently watched as Endymon grew angrier by the second. 'What can we do?' thought the senshi of time, for the first time in her life......she didn't know what to do.
~Back inside the barrier~
"What?!" shouted Endymon angrily, he turned on his heel and gazed at Usagi loathing. "Who is it? Tell me who is the boy?!" he shouted. When he received no answer, he stepped closer to her and placed his hand on the gash on her stomach and applied pressure to it. He smirked when he heard her scream in agony, "Tell me," he snarled as he removed his hand.
Usagi closed her eyes and took several deep-rattling breaths. She opened her eyes and smirked up at Endymon. Never would she tell him, she knew if he found it was Harry then he would kill him or worse give him to Voldemort, she had to protect Harry. "I...I...I wont tell you," she rasped, ignoring the pain.
"You b*tch!" he shouted angrily, his hand flew up and slapped her right across the face forcefully and sending her flying to the ground.
"USAGI!" shouted Harry through the barrier watching her scream out in pain as she collided to the ground. He kneeled down next to the barrier and stared down at Usagi with shock.
"So it's you, you stole the heart of my Serenity," Endymon said lethally. His eyes narrowed and his hands balled into fists. He smirked when he realized who the boy was. His eyes wandered to the lightning bolt scar. "Harry Potter...so Serenity fell in love with Harry Potter,"
Harry looked up and glared at Endymon, all the anger he felt earlier came back to him. "Release her! Can't you see she's dieing," he shouted angrily. He grew angrier when the senshi began to laugh.
"How sweet," crooned Endymon, switching his gaze between Usagi and Harry. "Trying to save your little girlfriend? Don't you think it's a little late for that?" he asked. He smirked when he got an idea. "Jupiter, Saturn! Help our little princess stand up, I think she might be very interested in what I got to say," he announced.
Jupiter and Saturn nodded, walking past him and pulled Usagi to her feet. Usagi groaned in pain as Jupiter held her up from behind. She felt the chains vanish around her waist. Saturn let her deadly glaive point to Usagi's neck. She applied a little pressure, just enough to draw a little blood.
"So Serenity, you chose a mere wizard over a powerful prince like me? How pathetic," sneered Endymon, approaching the barrier and staring down at Harry.
Usagi narrowed her eyes, she knew what he was thinking, she began to smirk. "You powerful?" Usagi laughed but soon stopped as she began coughing up blood. "You are just a coward. Following your masters orders, because you know that he is more powerful than you....." Usagi stopped, she felt the cold blade of Saturn's glaive cut deeper into her neck.
"Get the boy," he shouted angrily at Uranus and Neptune, having heard enough.
"No!" cried Usagi in protest.
~
"They're going to get Harry!" cried Maker.
"They're what?!" shouted Ron out of surprise, as he overheard the Starlights talking.
"Why?" asked Hermione frowning.
"He's her soulmate," answered Healer.
"Damn it!" cried Fighter. "C'mon we got to do something!"
The Starlights and Pluto ran towards Harry, hoping to get there in time before Uranus and Neptune.
~
Harry slowly backed away from the barrier, knowing very well that the two senshi would come out and get him. 'Fool, what about Usagi?!' his mind shouted at him. He watched as the barrier glowed and an opening slowly formed before him.
"Don't, please no! Leave him out of this!" cried Usagi. She ignored Saturn's glaive as it drew more blood. Her body began to rattle with coughs and she groaned loudly as the pain got the better of her. She watched helplessly as Neptune and Uranus slowly walked past her and out of the barrier.
"You cant do anything to stop us Serenity," she heard Jupiter hiss into her ear.
~
Harry held his wand out and pointed it at the two approaching senshi. "Don't you come close, how dare you betray Usagi like that!" shouted Harry.
"You think that your puny wand can do some damage on us?" laughed Uranus as the opening closed behind them.
"Let's get straight to the point," said Neptune finally, raising her hands above her head. "DEEP......."
"No!" screamed Usagi, tears flowing down her cheeks as she watched the blue ball of Neptune's attack grow bigger.
Endymon laughed upon seeing Usagi cry, "Just remember that he should be still alive!" he shouted over the screams of terror.
Harry stood rooted to the spot, staring at the blue ball of water or whatever it was grow larger and larger by the second in Neptune's hand. His thoughts were directed to Usagi, wishing that somehow this might all be a dream and that they were still together. But he knew that all this was real. 'I love you Usagi,' he thought, closing his eyes and waiting for the attack to hit him. He only wished he could say it to her before he would die.
".....Submer ah!"
"Star Serious laser!"
A bright beam zoomed past Harry and directly hit Neptune, disabling her from finishing her attack yell. The beam hit her so hard, she was sent flying across the pitch and hit the wall causing it to crack upon impact.
"Neptune!" shouted Uranus in shock staring at Neptune, who struggled to stand back up. Her hands balled into fists when she turned to face the one sent the attack.
Harry opened his eyes, wondering what whizzed past him and why he wasn't hit yet. He could hear cheers and screams up in the stands. 'What the....Seiya?!' he thought in wonderment, seeing the three Starlights and Pluto standing infront of him. Seiya or Fighter now, smirking cockily at the infuriated Uranus.
~Back inside the barrier~
"Damn it!" cursed Endymon loudly. "You wait here, no fooling around!" he stated to the very pale Usagi.
"NO!" moaned Usagi as she watched him pass through the barrier without being noticed.
"Say goodbye, to that boyfriend of yours," whispered Jupiter from behind her while painfully tightening her grip on Usagi's broken arm.
Usagi struggled a bit, trying hard to break free but it was impossible, she was too weak. She watched as Endymon approaching Harry without him suspecting a thing.
"No," she whispered. She felt the cold blade of Saturn's glaive cut deeper into her neck. She felt blood trickle down her neck. Turning her head slightly she stared down into Saturn's blank eyes. "Saturn...." Breathed Usagi, hoping to see something in her eyes. But to her disappointment Saturn looked away.
~Back with the Starlights and Harry~
"You filthy starlight...." Growled Uranus angrily.
"I take that as a compliment," grinned Fighter, placing a hand casually on her hip and watching Uranus loath with anger.
"Why you......Earth shaking!" shouted Uranus, the golden ball whizzing by a stunned Harry and hurdling to the four senshi at a break neck speed.
"Maker, take Harry and get him away from here! The rest, fight!" ordered Pluto as they dodged Uranus attack.
Maker nodded and ran up to Harry and grabbing him by the cuffs of his robes, "Harry, we gotta take you away from here," she ordered and pulling him with her.
"Taiki," asked a stunned Harry, gazing up at the tall star senshi.
"Call me Maker for now," said Maker giving Harry a weary smile. An explosion erupted from behind them, sending dirt in their direction. "Best be off then," she mumbled lightly, casting a worried glance to where the explosion set off. Again, grabbing Harry by his robes, she roughly pulled him with her.
"Let go, we got to help Usagi!" shouted Harry angrily struggling to get free from Maker's iron grip. His eyes stared at Usagi; she looked like she'd die any minute.
"Don't worry, we'll help her!" shouted Maker over the screams wile pulling the distraught boy with her.
Uranus and Neptune both smirked, they currently had the upper hand in their fight. In front of them stood the three beat up senshi trying to protect the teachers and several students.
"They're strong," panted Healer, clutching her throbbing shoulder painfully. "Too damn strong," she muttered angrily.
"Stop whining Healer," muttered Fighter while cradling her broken arm. "How can they be so strong?"
"Voldemort," said Pluto, finding the answer quite simple. "He gave them more powers,"
Uranus smirked, "Yes, powers that Serenity can never give," she said.
"Why don't you join us? Join our master; he can give you powers beyond your wildest dreams. Unlike that...ah!" Neptune screamed out in pain as the end of Pluto's time staff connected with her face sending her flying to the ground.
"Never, ever, say that again in my presence or I will make sure that all of you wont have a future," whispered Pluto angrily, her ruby eyes flashing angrily. Her time staff extended above Neptune's head.
Uranus growled angrily, staring at Pluto with hatred while helping Neptune stand back up. "You'll regret this Pluto, I thought you were one of us," she whispered.
"One of you?" repeated Pluto anger rolling off her in waves. "How dare you associate me with you. You are the traitors! I fight for what is right and just. I believe in our princess, unlike you traitors." She took several steps back, getting a better view of both of them. "You are a disgrace of a senshi! You aren't worth of your powers!" she finished, narrowing her eyes at the two.
~With Harry and Maker~
"C'mon Harry," shouted Maker, pulling Harry's robes harder leading them to the exits. She cast a worried glance towards the others who were still fighting.
"We got to help Usagi! How can you help her if you are all out here!" shouted Harry frantically trying to free himself out of Maker's grip. In the distance he saw Usagi struggling with Jupiter and Saturn.
"You have to understand! We got to get you out of here before....."
"Before what?"
Maker looked up alarmed, the familiar dark aura of Endymon sweeping over her. "No," she whispered in disbelief, knowing very well that he stood behind her. She quickly turned around, coming face to face with Endymon himself. She had no time to react as the sheath of his sword connected with her face.
Harry stared in horror as Maker sprawled to the ground, blood trickling down her chin. He turned back to face Endymon, his heart was pounding hard against is chest; he felt unsure what to do. 'This is it, now I'm really going to die,' Harry thought eyeing the blade Endymon was holding. He switched gaze to Maker, wondering why she didn't stand up, his heart pummel down his stomach upon realizing that the star senshi was unconscious.
"Pathetic," he heard Endymon mutter. Harry was quite sure that he was talking about Taiki......Maker. He narrowed his green eyes and glared up at the prince, waiting for what he had to say next.
"So you are Harry Potter," said Endymon while staring down at the boy. A smug smile appeared on is lips, "The boy who stole my precious Serenity's heart,"
"She doesn't love you," said Harry angrily, his wand ready in had.
"So, she does, so she does," mumbled Endymon his eyes angrily narrowing at Harry. He hated the boy, he hated him very much.
"You are coming with me," barked Endymon roughly grabbing Harry's arms and twisting them behind his back.
Harry winced lightly as he felt his arms being twisted behind his back. Stumbling a little, felt Endymon push him back towards the barrier.
"You can stop your useless fighting! We have what we need," shouted Endymon as they passed the fight between Uranus and Neptune with the Starlights and Pluto.
"Looks like we win," sneered Uranus after seeing Harry.
Fighter mumbled some string of curses as she saw Endymon and Harry disappear through the barrier.
"And you loose," finished Neptune smirking triumphantly before following Uranus through the barrier.
"Now what?!" exclaimed Healer angrily, eyeing the two senshi.
"Sorry I couldn't stop him," wheezed Maker while making her way towards them.
"Don't worry, we will find a way to save them," assured Pluto while frowning lightly upon seeing Usagi's bad state. 'We must act fast, I don't think Usagi can hold up much longer,' thought Pluto. She cast her eyes up into the sky, a worried expression plastered on her face, 'We need help,'
~In the Barrier~
"Let him go!" screamed Usagi furiously at Endymon, as he and Harry entered, closely followed by Uranus and Neptune.
"Aren't you happy Serenity that I brought your little boyfriend in here?" asked Endymon smirking at Usagi maliciously. He handed Harry to Uranus, who happily took him and twisted his arm even harder behind his back.
Usagi growled furiously, "Let him go! He didn't do anything against you!" she shouted while trying to free herself from Jupiter.
"Oh he did," muttered Endymon while circling Harry.
"Usagi," whispered Harry watching Usagi glare at he earth prince. 'What have they done to you?' he thought sadly, he felt his heart twist as he saw Usagi up close. She looked like death, her whole Quidditch uniform was either burned and exposing bloodied flesh or covered in blood with many cuts.
Usagi turned her attention back to Harry. She saw him staring at her. 'Oh kami, because of me he's in trouble,' she thought sadly as a lone tear slid down her cheek. 'I always ring people in trouble,' she finished finally. "I'm sorry," she mouthed to Harry before turning away as another tear slid down her cheek.
"Now that we got Potter....we should kill him," announced Endymon while signaling for the rest of the senshi to get ready.
"What?!" exclaimed Harry in surprise.
"No! Please no!" shouted Usagi now in hysterical tears. She frantically struggled to get free, she ignored the pain that made her feel dizzy, she ignored the urge to collapse and sleep forever, she ignored Saturn's glaive begin to cut dangerously deep into her neck. All she cared about was to protect Harry. She watched in horror as mercury and mars created swords, each made of ice and fire and pointed one to his neck while the other to the exact spot where his heart is. 'They are in touch with their elements,' she realized.
"Please no! Don't! No!" she cried again in hysterical cries. She watched as mercury's ice sword began to draw blood from Harry's neck.
"Stop! I'll go, I'll go! Just stop!" she announced while suppressing a sob. She saw Harry wince and began to cry even harder. She made her decision she'll go, she'll do whatever they wanted. "I'll go," she repeated again crying harder than ever. Everyone stopped doing whatever they were doing and stared at Usagi.
"You heard me, I-I-I'll go, with you. I'll go to Voldemort. I-I-I'll be your.......queen," said Usagi while staring at Endymon directly in the eye. She felt her heart sink as she saw the hungry glint in is eyes come back.
"You will..." breathed Endymon, a smirk appearing on his face. 'It worked,' he thought triumphantly.
"No, don't!" shouted Harry in protest, not wanting Usagi to offer herself up just because of him.
"NO!" cried out Fighter, hitting the barrier furiously.
"Oh no," whispered Professor Dumbledore upon realizing that the worst of everybody's fears was coming true.
"Then let's go," said Endymon pointing at the portal.
"No, let Harry go first," whispered Usagi seriously while avoiding Harry's eyes. If she looked into his eyes know, she knew she'd surely crumble.
"Fair enough," mumbled Endymon, while inwardly smirking triumphantly, he knew that hey had won. "Let him go Uranus," he told Uranus.
"But!" Uranus tried to protest but found it useless to protest against the prince. "I guess you got lucky this time," she muttered darkly to Harry. Releasing his arms, she roughly pushed him aside making him hit the barrier wall lightly.
"Now let's get going little princess before I change my mind and get rid of that boy of yours," whispered Endymon into Usagi's ear.
Usagi nodded silently, she cast her eyes to the Starlights and Pluto and gave them a sad smile. "Sorry," she whispered sadly as she stared into their shocked faces. She felt her body being pushed roughly forward by Jupiter leading her to the portal. She followed obligingly, her head bowed as tears began to cascade down her cheeks. She however looked up when she heard her name being called by Harry. She turned her head and stared into his deep green eyes.
"I'm sorry......I love you," mouthed Usagi sadly at Harry, giving him a sad smile before continuing walking.
"I love you," whispered Harry as he watched Usagi being dragged to the portal. He felt tears trail down his cheeks.
"Isn't that just sweet," sneered Endymon catching the intimate moment between the two. "But soon you'll be mine," he added sneering, touching her cheeks lightly.
Usagi ignored his cold hand on her cheek but instead stared blankly at the portal that loomed infront of her just a few feet away.
"Say good-bye to everyone and hello to your new home, princess" sneered Mars passing Usagi and walking up to Endymon.
Usagi was about to take another step towards the portal when out of nowhere a white flower imbedded itself infront of all them.
Loud gasps filled the air as everyone wondered where the strange flower came from.
"Where the hell did that come from? Ad how did that thing get through the barrier?!" shouted a surprised Endymon while staring bewildered at the flower.
Usagi gasped upon seeing the white flower. She knew that flower, a flower so familiar to her. The Moon lily. A flower only grown on the Moon. Usagi frowned, how did it get to earth? Who sent it?
"Look the barrier has a hole!" exclaimed mars, pointing up at the barrier's ceiling. Yes, clearly there was a small hole and for sure the flower created it.
"Who sent this?!" growled Endymon, upon realizing that his plans were going down the drain.
"If my calculations are correct, it was sent from over.....there," said mercury who soon gasped as she stared at the three goal posts.
"Who the hell?!" shouted Endymon glaring up at the goal posts.
Usagi slowly looked up as she felt a somewhat familiar aura sweep over her. She gasped as she stared up at the three goal posts. And for sure, she saw three figures standing individually on each post. Due to the distance, no one was able to make out who they were. 'Who....' thought Usagi in wonderment.
"I think we made it just in time," came a small voice from the three.
The senshi were too shocked to move as they all felt a strong aura radiate from each of these new comers. Who are they?

Chapter 13
"The Senshi have arrived"
Screams filled the air as they saw Usagi crash against the barrier. Realization dawned onto everyone as one chilling thought ran through everybody's minds. 'You-know-who.' But their attention soon was focused onto Seiya, when they all saw a brilliant flash of light engulf him. Their eyes grew wide with shock, as the light faded there stood no longer a he but a ..... SHE! Instead of seeing Seiya, there stood Sailor Star Fighter. Gasps filled the air once again, as all the students starred at the leather- clad senshi.
"What the hell are you thinking?!" screamed a ticked off Yaten, completely ignoring the stares.
Fighter glared at Yaten, "You really are stupid! We were given the duty to protect the princess and not just stand by and watch her getting killed by her own senshi!" she countered loudly. She calmed down a bit and stared into Yaten`s green eyes, in a low voice she added, "We are here to protect her, even if it means we got to reveal ourselves,"
~
Harry stared at Seiya with huge eyes, so maybe it was easy to accept that Seiya is a senshi but what's harder to accept and digest is that Seiya turns into a GIRL, wearing rather skimpy clothes in black leather.
"He's a senshi," breathed Harry in shock still staring at Fighter with shock.
"He's a SHE!" added Ron in total awe. His eyes grew wide as saucers as he saw Seiya turn into a girl; it wasn't everyday you saw a guy turn into girl not even in the magical world, concluded Ron.
"He's....I mean she, is Sailor Star Fighter," whispered Hermione. "I've read about the senshi in a newspaper," informed Hermione when she received blank looks from both Harry and Ron.
~Inside the Barrier~
Usagi looked up from the ground when she felt a senshi transform. She saw Fighter arguing with a ticked off Yaten. "Fighter," whispered Usagi, a small smile spread across her lips. She knew her friends weren't going to let her down.
~With the Starlights~
"Fighter's got a point Yaten," said Taiki suddenly his gaze switching from the barrier to the portal and back to Fighter and Yaten. He knew that it was the only reasonable thing to do, "She's right," and before Yaten could even protest Taiki cried out his star yell.
"Maker Star Power .... Make-up!" a brilliant flash of light engulfed Taiki and soon when the light died down in his place stood Sailor Star Maker. As if on cue, gasps of surprise filled the air as the tall star senshi grinned down at a fuming Yaten.
~
"You know what, I think everything is getting clearer by the minute," whispered Ron to both Harry and Hermione upon seeing Taiki's transformation. Harry nodded numbly as the trio continued to stare at awe at the lights.
~
Yaten sighed in defeat, "You gotta be kidding me," he muttered under his breath upon seeing the two star senshi grin at him triumphantly. "I guess I haven't got a choice now?" he asked, he sighed again upon seeing the two nod.
"Healer Star Power.....Make up!" a flash of light enveloped Yaten for a few seconds, as it faded away in his place stood Sailor Star Healer. She rolled her eyes in aggravation upon hearing yet again the many gasps of shock and surprise coming from the students.
Fighter grinned, "I knew you had it in you squirt," she said and patted Healer on the shoulder, who growled loudly. She then turned to the teachers, who also looked quite shocked, and shrugged her shoulders. "Sorry," she mumbled giving them a sheepish grin. Turning to Setsuna, who looked unfazed at all, she winked at the Professor before turning to her fellow senshi. The three of nodded, as if agreeing upon one thing silently, determination evident on their faces as they took several steps back from the barrier.
"STAR SERIOUS LASER!"
"STAR SENSITIVE INFERNO!"
"STAR GENTLE UTERUS!"
Three deathly attacks, swirled together forming one massive beam flew at a high speed towards the barrier. Expecting an explosion, the Starlights gasped in shock upon seeing the barrier simply contract as it was hit by their combined attacks. It quickly changed into a dark shade of purple, for the first time becoming visible to everybody. Soon there was a bright flash of light, and the barrier absorbed the attack simply. The barrier flashed dark purple again before reverting back to its invisible self.
Fighter, Healer and Maker lower their star lockets, shock written all over their faces upon witnessing the unexpected turn of event.
"No," breathed Fighter in shock her fists clenched angrily upon realizing that their plan failed.
"It absorbed our attacks," whispered Maker in disbelief.
"Sh*t!" cursed Healer loudly eyeing the barrier in frustration. "How are we going to help Usagi if that stupid thing eats our attacks?!" she said furiously.
~
"Oh my," whispered Professor McGonagal staring at the barrier with weary eyes. She felt totally lost at the current situation. Not knowing exactly what to do, their magic was useless. "What now Albus?" she asked the headmaster.
"I am as lost as you are Minerva," said the headmaster somberly, earning gasps from the teachers.
"I got a feeling that something went seriously wrong," said Hermione.
"You're telling me," breathed Ron in astonishment.
Harry couldn't believe everything that he was seeing. All the sudden changes that occurred in such little amount of time. He turned his attention back to Usagi, who was currently struggling to stand back up with much difficulty. "So it's true," whispered Harry staring at Usagi, he felt his heart twist in pain as he felt Usagi's pain. "You are Sailor Moon,"
~Inside the barrier~
Usagi struggled to stand up, with much pain and difficulty. She saw what happened to the Starlights attack and she didn't like it. This prison was indestructible. Ignoring the excruciating pain that shook throughout her body, she wobbly stood up and tried to shift her whole body weight onto her good leg.
"No," she whispered in disbelief after finally realizing that there wasn't much to do anymore but wait for the senshi to make their grand entrance. 'Sailor Moon,' she gasped upon hearing Harry's voice. She turned her head and stared at a pale Harry. 'He knows,' she thought sadly. She could see his shock in his eyes. Sighing lightly she turned back towards the portal, yet she wondered why this was happening to her.
~Back with the Starlights~
Fighter had enough, evidently it would be no use if they would send another attack again seeing that the barrier would just absorb it, they needed help. Turning to Setsuna she frowned lightly wondering why the time guardian hadn't henshined yet. "What now?!" she said in frustration, she could not deal with the fact they ther couldn't do anything. "She needs help," she narrowed her eyes at the Defense against the dark arts teacher. "We need help," she added in a small whisper.
"Don't just stand around! Wave that little staff of yours! Help us, do something!" exclaimed Healer waving her arms wildly.
Setsuna sighed, it would be no use if she would just wait until the senshi would arrive and then henshin. Yet she knew that even with their combined attacks, the barrier would not budge, yet alone dent it.
"I believe they are in need of your assistance," said Dumbledore.
Setsuna nodded, yet she felt a foreboding coming to her as she stared at the portal. Turning back to the Starlights, she walked up to them and pulled out her transformation pen. "Pluto Planet Power......make-up!" green light engulfed Setsuna, as it soon faded away, there stood Sailor Pluto guardian of time, time staff ready in hand.
Healer fought the urge to roll her eyes upon hearing the many gasps from the student body. "Took you sure long enough," she muttered darkly at Pluto.
Pluto shrugged her shoulders lightly and walked up to them. "Let's do this again," she announced readying her time staff. 'It won't work,' her mind chided lightly as she released her attack along with the others. She watched with fascination as their attacks were absorbed easily but it looked like they did make a difference. The portal became visible, it looked like it wasn't able to sustain the attacks very well.
"Damn it," cursed Fighter loudly.
"Well, at least we can now see it," whispered Maker staring at the dark purple barrier.
"Oh yeah, that reeeealy helps," said Healer sarcastically.
~Back inside the Barrier ^_^~
Usagi leaned heavily against the purple barrier, feeling somewhat dizzy. She could feel the barrier vibrate lightly under her. 'At least they tried,' she mused lightly while wiping away blood from her forehead. She stared at the four senshi wearily and gave them a rather tired smile, "It's alright, I'll do my best on my own," she said, she knew that they couldn't hear her but she felt that they all got the message. She gasped as she felt the pain intensify. Taking several deep gasps of breath, she tried hard to stay conscious as she was beginning to drift in and out of consciousness.
Laughter soon rang out through the pitch, she looked up upon hearing the spine chilling laughter. "Serenity," various voices giggled. "We're here!"
Usagi looked up sharply and stared at the portal with much fear. She felt her blood ran cold when she saw a black boot step out of the portal. First stepped out Tuxedo Mask, now in his prince form. Then one after the other the Sailor senshi stepped out, looking very much......amused.
~With Harry and the others~
Gasps and whispers erupted from the stands s they saw the senshi appear before their very eyes.
Harry starred with wide eyes as the senshi stood before the portal all smirking cruelly. He had a bad feeling about this, as he saw their smirks broaden, somebody will get hurt. "Usagi," he whispered as he saw her fear stricken face.
~Back inside the portal~
"Miss us?" said Endymon, in a cold sinister voice. His eyes boring hungrily into Usagi's with a hungry glint.
"Why would I miss you?!" said Usagi angrily, she summoned her staff and leaned heavily on it. Her heart was now beating rapidly against her chest as she starred at the each of her former senshi.
"Get away from her!" shouted Fighter angrily through the portal, gaining the attention from all the senshi.
Endymon smirked and began to walk over to the Starlights and Pluto and stared at them through the portal. "What's this? The Starlights, couldn't handle your job alone Serenity?" he sneered. His cold eyes wandered towards Pluto and he began to smirk, "Pluto, the traitor. You betrayed me and the senshi, shame on you,"
Pluto narrowed her eyes, "I am not the traitor. You and the senshi are the traitors. How dare you say such a thing," she said fiercely glaring at the prince.
"I thought we don't allow foreign filth into our system," said Uranus, giving Fighter a loathing look.
"Unlike you, we are here to protect YOUR princess, from her own guards," spat Fighter glaring at Uranus. She hated it not being able to do help, it made her fell so useless.
Endymon gave them one final smirk before turning away and walking towards Usagi.
Usagi's heart begun to bet faster against her chest as she watched him approaching her. "Don't you come near me! D-don't even try!" she stammered, trying frantically to find a way to get past him.
Endymon smirked as he stood before the Moon princess. "Afraid my love?" he whispered into her right ear.
Usagi's eyes widened as she felt his hot breath against her face. She watched him lean closer to her face and smirk down at her. She pulled her face away from him and turned away, "No," she answered lightly, her voice trembling. She was afraid, afraid of what might happen, of what he had to say next to her.
"You are trembling," he whispered. He reached out and touched her pale cheek. "I am back my sweet. Back to take you with me,"
"N-no!" exclaimed Usagi in a trembling voice. She slapped his hand away from her face and tried to back away. She narrowed her eyes and glared at Endymon, "Don't you touch me. You mean nothing to me, nothing at all! You have betrayed me, you all have. I am not going anywhere with you. So leave me alone!" she exclaimed angrily while stumbling away from Endymon. She suddenly felt so dizzy; the lack of blood had gotten the better of her.
The senshi began to laugh, "Do you think we are going to let you go that easily?" asked Neptune giving Usagi a loathing smirk.
"You know what, I never thought you would actually stay in this filthy place," muttered Jupiter while staring around the Quidditch field.
"You know we cant go back to the dark lord with empty hands," added mercury.
Usagi frowned, "What do you want?" she asked. She had a feeling that she already knew the answer.
Mars smirked and stepped up to Endymon. "I know you were dumb, but this is ridiculous. Like we said our master wants you and the crystal," she sneered while placing an arm around Endymon. She knew that he only wanted Usagi for the power to be king and soon he would make her his queen and get rid of the Moon princess but still she didn't like the idea of Endymon with Usagi. Mars smirked, "what now Sailor Moon?" she sneered, stressing the last two words. She silently laughed upon hearing the gasps coming from the stands.
"No," whispered Usagi. She thought about running but canceled it out as she realized that her leg was broken and that she would get far anyway.
"Usagi watch out!" she heard Fighter cry out to her. But it was too late for her to react. She felt Venus' love me chain wrap around her body tightly cutting off much air.
"AHH!" Usagi cried out in pain as she felt the chains tighten around her waist.
Endymon smirked, he loved to see the Moon princess in pain. Pushing off mars' arm, he stepped forward and touched Usagi's cheek lightly. "You know I think we made a mistake," he said thoughtfully. "If you cant have chibi- usa, then I wont be king. Now how horrible is that? So here's the little deal, how about you give us the crystal and we will no longer hand you over to the dark lord. As he had promised all of us that he would grant us great powers and Crystal Tokyo will rise. And instead you....." Trailed off Endymon his eyes roaming over Usagi's body. His hands went up and touched her face, rubbing it lightly. "....You and I shall have chibi-usa,"
Despite the intense pain, despite the current deathly predicament she was in, Usagi began to laugh. "You have to be kidding me!" she said in between painful laughter. "I would never make you my king. I would never love you, not after your betrayal. I would rather be offered to the dark lord or even die than ever be called you wife! Do you really think that Voldemort will grant your wishes? Is that the real reason why you all betrayed me?!" she shouted at Endymon angrily.
*SMACK!*
Usagi's head snapped to the left, the sound of her flesh being slapped silenced everybody. And enraged Endymon stood before Usagi, his right gloved hand raised and stained with hints of blood. "You'll do as I tell you, Serenity," he sneered angrily.
Her hair covered her face, she felt the stinging pain on her cheek, yet it was nothing compared to the pain that racked through her body. She wished she could touch her cheek but still she couldn't, Venus' chain disabled her to do so. Wincing slightly, she turned her head, and faced the enraged prince. She could fell blood trickle from her lip but she ignored it, she continued to stare at the prince.
Usagi smirked, yes, smirked after a long and heavy silence. "I do not follow your orders," she hissed angrily. "I'd rather die, I'd rather die than become you stupid wife! So why don't you just kill me instead? Kill me! Kill me! Kill......Ahhh!" she abruptly stopped her screaming. She felt it, she felt the cold metal being thrust deeper into the side of her stomach. Her eyes went wide as she watched in horror as the sword was pulled out. She ignored the screams of terror, she was too caught up with the pain.
"What the hell are you doing?!" screamed Endymon infuriated, glaring at Uranus.
Uranus shrugged nonchalantly, holding her space sword and watching the crimson blood drip down the blade. "She asked for it," she said simple.
"She is of no use if she's dead!" shouted Endymon staring at Uranus angrily.
Harry ran towards the side of the barrier where Usagi was currently leaning. He ignored the many shouts of protest coming form his friends and the teachers. All he cared about right now was getting near to Usagi as soon as possible. He completely ignored the many watchful stares of the evil senshi through the barrier. His green eyes widened with terror as he watched blood gush from the open wound. Compared to earlier, it may all seem like a puddle but now blood splattered the ground everywhere. 'Usagi....this cant be happening,' he thought as tears stinged his eyes. He wished he could reach out and touch her, but instead only touched the barrier.
"Usagi," whispered Harry, touching the barrier, finally catching Usagi's attention.
"Go away," she rasped slowly at him with pleading eyes. If the senshi would find him, they surely kill him. She shifted her body, trying hard to cover him from view. It was hard to do so, since the chains were restraining her from doing much and the slash in her stomach made it more difficult than ever. She felt queasy as she watched more blood gush out of the slash. Her pants were now a darker shade of crimson. 'This is it, this is the end,' thought Usagi slowly. She faintly listened to the senshi and Endymon argue as she closed her eyes and tried to push the pain away.
"Venus!" barked Endymon angrily staring at the blond senshi of love.
Venus looked up startled, she had been deep in thought at the moment, she almost let go of her chain. 'Moron,' thought Venus darkly while gazing at Endymon with the usual blank look.
"Since you are the senshi of love, tell me if Serenity is still connected to me, if we are still soulmates," he ordered. "If she's not then....." he trailed off, his eyes sweeping over the near to death Usagi.
Venus sighed and followed the prince's order. Shifting her gaze to Usagi she stared at the Moon princes with a steady gaze. (Usagi could have sworn that she saw sympathy in Venus' eyes but it quickly vanished) Venus began to concentrate and slowly closed her eyes as her orange aura surrounded her body. Instead of seeing complete darkness, she saw the outline of Usagi in front of her, glowing bright silver.
"Show me," whispered Venus into the darkness. Out of nowhere a red ribbon laced itself around Usagi's silvery outline. Venus watched as the other end of the ribbon flew gracefully around in the air for a couple of seconds. To her surprise it wrapped itself around an unfamiliar green outline, which stood right behind Usagi. 'She's not connected to Endymon,' mused Venus while watching the red ribbon that tied Usagi's and the other boy's souls together.
"WELL?!" snapped Endymon tapping his foot impatiently.
Venus' eyes snapped open, somewhat annoyed to be pulled out of her meditating state. For one minute she stared at the gasping Usagi with blank eyes. She soon remembered Endymon when she heard someone clearing his throat. Turning to the agitated prince she told him simply, "She's not,"
~With the Starlights~
"Sh*t!" cursed Fighter loudly, earning many strong stares from the teachers.
"If they find Harry then....." Trailed off Maker thinking up the possibilities of what might happen.
"Oh crap," muttered Healer, staring at Harry.
Pluto silently watched as Endymon grew angrier by the second. 'What can we do?' thought the senshi of time, for the first time in her life......she didn't know what to do.
~Back inside the barrier~
"What?!" shouted Endymon angrily, he turned on his heel and gazed at Usagi loathing. "Who is it? Tell me who is the boy?!" he shouted. When he received no answer, he stepped closer to her and placed his hand on the gash on her stomach and applied pressure to it. He smirked when he heard her scream in agony, "Tell me," he snarled as he removed his hand.
Usagi closed her eyes and took several deep-rattling breaths. She opened her eyes and smirked up at Endymon. Never would she tell him, she knew if he found it was Harry then he would kill him or worse give him to Voldemort, she had to protect Harry. "I...I...I wont tell you," she rasped, ignoring the pain.
"You b*tch!" he shouted angrily, his hand flew up and slapped her right across the face forcefully and sending her flying to the ground.
"USAGI!" shouted Harry through the barrier watching her scream out in pain as she collided to the ground. He kneeled down next to the barrier and stared down at Usagi with shock.
"So it's you, you stole the heart of my Serenity," Endymon said lethally. His eyes narrowed and his hands balled into fists. He smirked when he realized who the boy was. His eyes wandered to the lightning bolt scar. "Harry Potter...so Serenity fell in love with Harry Potter,"
Harry looked up and glared at Endymon, all the anger he felt earlier came back to him. "Release her! Can't you see she's dieing," he shouted angrily. He grew angrier when the senshi began to laugh.
"How sweet," crooned Endymon, switching his gaze between Usagi and Harry. "Trying to save your little girlfriend? Don't you think it's a little late for that?" he asked. He smirked when he got an idea. "Jupiter, Saturn! Help our little princess stand up, I think she might be very interested in what I got to say," he announced.
Jupiter and Saturn nodded, walking past him and pulled Usagi to her feet. Usagi groaned in pain as Jupiter held her up from behind. She felt the chains vanish around her waist. Saturn let her deadly glaive point to Usagi's neck. She applied a little pressure, just enough to draw a little blood.
"So Serenity, you chose a mere wizard over a powerful prince like me? How pathetic," sneered Endymon, approaching the barrier and staring down at Harry.
Usagi narrowed her eyes, she knew what he was thinking, she began to smirk. "You powerful?" Usagi laughed but soon stopped as she began coughing up blood. "You are just a coward. Following your masters orders, because you know that he is more powerful than you....." Usagi stopped, she felt the cold blade of Saturn's glaive cut deeper into her neck.
"Get the boy," he shouted angrily at Uranus and Neptune, having heard enough.
"No!" cried Usagi in protest.
~
"They're going to get Harry!" cried Maker.
"They're what?!" shouted Ron out of surprise, as he overheard the Starlights talking.
"Why?" asked Hermione frowning.
"He's her soulmate," answered Healer.
"Damn it!" cried Fighter. "C'mon we got to do something!"
The Starlights and Pluto ran towards Harry, hoping to get there in time before Uranus and Neptune.
~
Harry slowly backed away from the barrier, knowing very well that the two senshi would come out and get him. 'Fool, what about Usagi?!' his mind shouted at him. He watched as the barrier glowed and an opening slowly formed before him.
"Don't, please no! Leave him out of this!" cried Usagi. She ignored Saturn's glaive as it drew more blood. Her body began to rattle with coughs and she groaned loudly as the pain got the better of her. She watched helplessly as Neptune and Uranus slowly walked past her and out of the barrier.
"You cant do anything to stop us Serenity," she heard Jupiter hiss into her ear.
~
Harry held his wand out and pointed it at the two approaching senshi. "Don't you come close, how dare you betray Usagi like that!" shouted Harry.
"You think that your puny wand can do some damage on us?" laughed Uranus as the opening closed behind them.
"Let's get straight to the point," said Neptune finally, raising her hands above her head. "DEEP......."
"No!" screamed Usagi, tears flowing down her cheeks as she watched the blue ball of Neptune's attack grow bigger.
Endymon laughed upon seeing Usagi cry, "Just remember that he should be still alive!" he shouted over the screams of terror.
Harry stood rooted to the spot, staring at the blue ball of water or whatever it was grow larger and larger by the second in Neptune's hand. His thoughts were directed to Usagi, wishing that somehow this might all be a dream and that they were still together. But he knew that all this was real. 'I love you Usagi,' he thought, closing his eyes and waiting for the attack to hit him. He only wished he could say it to her before he would die.
".....Submer ah!"
"Star Serious laser!"
A bright beam zoomed past Harry and directly hit Neptune, disabling her from finishing her attack yell. The beam hit her so hard, she was sent flying across the pitch and hit the wall causing it to crack upon impact.
"Neptune!" shouted Uranus in shock staring at Neptune, who struggled to stand back up. Her hands balled into fists when she turned to face the one sent the attack.
Harry opened his eyes, wondering what whizzed past him and why he wasn't hit yet. He could hear cheers and screams up in the stands. 'What the....Seiya?!' he thought in wonderment, seeing the three Starlights and Pluto standing infront of him. Seiya or Fighter now, smirking cockily at the infuriated Uranus.
~Back inside the barrier~
"Damn it!" cursed Endymon loudly. "You wait here, no fooling around!" he stated to the very pale Usagi.
"NO!" moaned Usagi as she watched him pass through the barrier without being noticed.
"Say goodbye, to that boyfriend of yours," whispered Jupiter from behind her while painfully tightening her grip on Usagi's broken arm.
Usagi struggled a bit, trying hard to break free but it was impossible, she was too weak. She watched as Endymon approaching Harry without him suspecting a thing.
"No," she whispered. She felt the cold blade of Saturn's glaive cut deeper into her neck. She felt blood trickle down her neck. Turning her head slightly she stared down into Saturn's blank eyes. "Saturn...." Breathed Usagi, hoping to see something in her eyes. But to her disappointment Saturn looked away.
~Back with the Starlights and Harry~
"You filthy starlight...." Growled Uranus angrily.
"I take that as a compliment," grinned Fighter, placing a hand casually on her hip and watching Uranus loath with anger.
"Why you......Earth shaking!" shouted Uranus, the golden ball whizzing by a stunned Harry and hurdling to the four senshi at a break neck speed.
"Maker, take Harry and get him away from here! The rest, fight!" ordered Pluto as they dodged Uranus attack.
Maker nodded and ran up to Harry and grabbing him by the cuffs of his robes, "Harry, we gotta take you away from here," she ordered and pulling him with her.
"Taiki," asked a stunned Harry, gazing up at the tall star senshi.
"Call me Maker for now," said Maker giving Harry a weary smile. An explosion erupted from behind them, sending dirt in their direction. "Best be off then," she mumbled lightly, casting a worried glance to where the explosion set off. Again, grabbing Harry by his robes, she roughly pulled him with her.
"Let go, we got to help Usagi!" shouted Harry angrily struggling to get free from Maker's iron grip. His eyes stared at Usagi; she looked like she'd die any minute.
"Don't worry, we'll help her!" shouted Maker over the screams wile pulling the distraught boy with her.
Uranus and Neptune both smirked, they currently had the upper hand in their fight. In front of them stood the three beat up senshi trying to protect the teachers and several students.
"They're strong," panted Healer, clutching her throbbing shoulder painfully. "Too damn strong," she muttered angrily.
"Stop whining Healer," muttered Fighter while cradling her broken arm. "How can they be so strong?"
"Voldemort," said Pluto, finding the answer quite simple. "He gave them more powers,"
Uranus smirked, "Yes, powers that Serenity can never give," she said.
"Why don't you join us? Join our master; he can give you powers beyond your wildest dreams. Unlike that...ah!" Neptune screamed out in pain as the end of Pluto's time staff connected with her face sending her flying to the ground.
"Never, ever, say that again in my presence or I will make sure that all of you wont have a future," whispered Pluto angrily, her ruby eyes flashing angrily. Her time staff extended above Neptune's head.
Uranus growled angrily, staring at Pluto with hatred while helping Neptune stand back up. "You'll regret this Pluto, I thought you were one of us," she whispered.
"One of you?" repeated Pluto anger rolling off her in waves. "How dare you associate me with you. You are the traitors! I fight for what is right and just. I believe in our princess, unlike you traitors." She took several steps back, getting a better view of both of them. "You are a disgrace of a senshi! You aren't worth of your powers!" she finished, narrowing her eyes at the two.
~With Harry and Maker~
"C'mon Harry," shouted Maker, pulling Harry's robes harder leading them to the exits. She cast a worried glance towards the others who were still fighting.
"We got to help Usagi! How can you help her if you are all out here!" shouted Harry frantically trying to free himself out of Maker's grip. In the distance he saw Usagi struggling with Jupiter and Saturn.
"You have to understand! We got to get you out of here before....."
"Before what?"
Maker looked up alarmed, the familiar dark aura of Endymon sweeping over her. "No," she whispered in disbelief, knowing very well that he stood behind her. She quickly turned around, coming face to face with Endymon himself. She had no time to react as the sheath of his sword connected with her face.
Harry stared in horror as Maker sprawled to the ground, blood trickling down her chin. He turned back to face Endymon, his heart was pounding hard against is chest; he felt unsure what to do. 'This is it, now I'm really going to die,' Harry thought eyeing the blade Endymon was holding. He switched gaze to Maker, wondering why she didn't stand up, his heart pummel down his stomach upon realizing that the star senshi was unconscious.
"Pathetic," he heard Endymon mutter. Harry was quite sure that he was talking about Taiki......Maker. He narrowed his green eyes and glared up at the prince, waiting for what he had to say next.
"So you are Harry Potter," said Endymon while staring down at the boy. A smug smile appeared on is lips, "The boy who stole my precious Serenity's heart,"
"She doesn't love you," said Harry angrily, his wand ready in had.
"So, she does, so she does," mumbled Endymon his eyes angrily narrowing at Harry. He hated the boy, he hated him very much.
"You are coming with me," barked Endymon roughly grabbing Harry's arms and twisting them behind his back.
Harry winced lightly as he felt his arms being twisted behind his back. Stumbling a little, felt Endymon push him back towards the barrier.
"You can stop your useless fighting! We have what we need," shouted Endymon as they passed the fight between Uranus and Neptune with the Starlights and Pluto.
"Looks like we win," sneered Uranus after seeing Harry.
Fighter mumbled some string of curses as she saw Endymon and Harry disappear through the barrier.
"And you loose," finished Neptune smirking triumphantly before following Uranus through the barrier.
"Now what?!" exclaimed Healer angrily, eyeing the two senshi.
"Sorry I couldn't stop him," wheezed Maker while making her way towards them.
"Don't worry, we will find a way to save them," assured Pluto while frowning lightly upon seeing Usagi's bad state. 'We must act fast, I don't think Usagi can hold up much longer,' thought Pluto. She cast her eyes up into the sky, a worried expression plastered on her face, 'We need help,'
~In the Barrier~
"Let him go!" screamed Usagi furiously at Endymon, as he and Harry entered, closely followed by Uranus and Neptune.
"Aren't you happy Serenity that I brought your little boyfriend in here?" asked Endymon smirking at Usagi maliciously. He handed Harry to Uranus, who happily took him and twisted his arm even harder behind his back.
Usagi growled furiously, "Let him go! He didn't do anything against you!" she shouted while trying to free herself from Jupiter.
"Oh he did," muttered Endymon while circling Harry.
"Usagi," whispered Harry watching Usagi glare at he earth prince. 'What have they done to you?' he thought sadly, he felt his heart twist as he saw Usagi up close. She looked like death, her whole Quidditch uniform was either burned and exposing bloodied flesh or covered in blood with many cuts.
Usagi turned her attention back to Harry. She saw him staring at her. 'Oh kami, because of me he's in trouble,' she thought sadly as a lone tear slid down her cheek. 'I always ring people in trouble,' she finished finally. "I'm sorry," she mouthed to Harry before turning away as another tear slid down her cheek.
"Now that we got Potter....we should kill him," announced Endymon while signaling for the rest of the senshi to get ready.
"What?!" exclaimed Harry in surprise.
"No! Please no!" shouted Usagi now in hysterical tears. She frantically struggled to get free, she ignored the pain that made her feel dizzy, she ignored the urge to collapse and sleep forever, she ignored Saturn's glaive begin to cut dangerously deep into her neck. All she cared about was to protect Harry. She watched in horror as mercury and mars created swords, each made of ice and fire and pointed one to his neck while the other to the exact spot where his heart is. 'They are in touch with their elements,' she realized.
"Please no! Don't! No!" she cried again in hysterical cries. She watched as mercury's ice sword began to draw blood from Harry's neck.
"Stop! I'll go, I'll go! Just stop!" she announced while suppressing a sob. She saw Harry wince and began to cry even harder. She made her decision she'll go, she'll do whatever they wanted. "I'll go," she repeated again crying harder than ever. Everyone stopped doing whatever they were doing and stared at Usagi.
"You heard me, I-I-I'll go, with you. I'll go to Voldemort. I-I-I'll be your.......queen," said Usagi while staring at Endymon directly in the eye. She felt her heart sink as she saw the hungry glint in is eyes come back.
"You will..." breathed Endymon, a smirk appearing on his face. 'It worked,' he thought triumphantly.
"No, don't!" shouted Harry in protest, not wanting Usagi to offer herself up just because of him.
"NO!" cried out Fighter, hitting the barrier furiously.
"Oh no," whispered Professor Dumbledore upon realizing that the worst of everybody's fears was coming true.
"Then let's go," said Endymon pointing at the portal.
"No, let Harry go first," whispered Usagi seriously while avoiding Harry's eyes. If she looked into his eyes know, she knew she'd surely crumble.
"Fair enough," mumbled Endymon, while inwardly smirking triumphantly, he knew that hey had won. "Let him go Uranus," he told Uranus.
"But!" Uranus tried to protest but found it useless to protest against the prince. "I guess you got lucky this time," she muttered darkly to Harry. Releasing his arms, she roughly pushed him aside making him hit the barrier wall lightly.
"Now let's get going little princess before I change my mind and get rid of that boy of yours," whispered Endymon into Usagi's ear.
Usagi nodded silently, she cast her eyes to the Starlights and Pluto and gave them a sad smile. "Sorry," she whispered sadly as she stared into their shocked faces. She felt her body being pushed roughly forward by Jupiter leading her to the portal. She followed obligingly, her head bowed as tears began to cascade down her cheeks. She however looked up when she heard her name being called by Harry. She turned her head and stared into his deep green eyes.
"I'm sorry......I love you," mouthed Usagi sadly at Harry, giving him a sad smile before continuing walking.
"I love you," whispered Harry as he watched Usagi being dragged to the portal. He felt tears trail down his cheeks.
"Isn't that just sweet," sneered Endymon catching the intimate moment between the two. "But soon you'll be mine," he added sneering, touching her cheeks lightly.
Usagi ignored his cold hand on her cheek but instead stared blankly at the portal that loomed infront of her just a few feet away.
"Say good-bye to everyone and hello to your new home, princess" sneered Mars passing Usagi and walking up to Endymon.
Usagi was about to take another step towards the portal when out of nowhere a white flower imbedded itself infront of all them.
Loud gasps filled the air as everyone wondered where the strange flower came from.
"Where the hell did that come from? Ad how did that thing get through the barrier?!" shouted a surprised Endymon while staring bewildered at the flower.
Usagi gasped upon seeing the white flower. She knew that flower, a flower so familiar to her. The Moon lily. A flower only grown on the Moon. Usagi frowned, how did it get to earth? Who sent it?
"Look the barrier has a hole!" exclaimed mars, pointing up at the barrier's ceiling. Yes, clearly there was a small hole and for sure the flower created it.
"Who sent this?!" growled Endymon, upon realizing that his plans were going down the drain.
"If my calculations are correct, it was sent from over.....there," said mercury who soon gasped as she stared at the three goal posts.
"Who the hell?!" shouted Endymon glaring up at the goal posts.
Usagi slowly looked up as she felt a somewhat familiar aura sweep over her. She gasped as she stared up at the three goal posts. And for sure, she saw three figures standing individually on each post. Due to the distance, no one was able to make out who they were. 'Who....' thought Usagi in wonderment.
"I think we made it just in time," came a small voice from the three.
The senshi were too shocked to move as they all felt a strong aura radiate from each of these new comers. Who are they?
