Heartbeat Of The Earth Chapter 5: Culmination Of Fury

Rage burned through Chibiusa, dissolving whatever strange feelings she might have had for him before. She went through her speech, anger coloring her voice.

"For Love and Justice, I am the pretty sailor suited Soldier, Silver Sailor Moon! You torture my family and know it! That cannot be forgiven! In the name of the Moon, I will PUNISH you!"

"Ha. Very interesting."

Chibiusa felt Sailor Moon fighting to take control. She held onto herself with all her might and tried to keep Sailor Moon from taking over. She held her hands out in front of her, her wrists together and her palms pointed at David. A ball of white light appeared. Her eyes opened and her body felt as if it was in a huge tornado.

"Moon Silver Blaze!"

The now huge ball flew at David, but he jumped out of the way and attacked her. She held up her arm and his kick hit her lower arm. She went flying back and landed in the dust. Grabbing her communicator, she called in for the other Soldiers just before he broke it.

He kicked her in the stomach and she grunted. He laughed and attempted to do it again, but Chibiusa grabbed his leg when it came to her and pulled. David was thrown off-balance and tumbled onto the ground.

She stood up and told him coldly. "I am not helpless. For a year and a half I've been a Soldier. I know what I'm doing and I know how to fight!"

Sailor Moon struggled against the bonds that Chibiusa had put on her. Chibiusa tightened her control and called out, "Moonlight Freedom!"

A silver aura formed around her as, even though it was daylight, the moon shown down its light on her. Her hair and fuku floated gently around her. Her tiara, earrings, and pendants on her choker glowed, making a diamond. The diamond flew out at David. He withstood it, but badly. He glared at her and from his hand a wave of black light hit her. She was thrown back against a building wall.

Sailor Moon struggled again. She knew she couldn't win this fight if she didn't have Sailor Moon, but she didn't want to lose control of herself.

Look, she told Sailor Moon, we have to work together if we're going to beat him. You help me and I help you, alright? She felt the answering power in a grudging agreement. Standing up slowly, a scepter appeared in her hands. She stared at it.

It was a long, white rod, as tall as she was, with a small golden crescent moon at the top surrounded by silver hearts. Chibiusa held it up and the light caught it. She closed her eyes, no longer fighting Sailor Moon because she was working with her. A silver aura, Sailor Moon's, intertwined with a golden one, Chibiusa's and the Earth she was representing. "Army of Light, come forth!" Her eyes opened and glared at David. "Beyond Twilight!" she cried.

Beams of light flew from the crescent moon in all directions and the earth shook under their feet. She pointed the rod toward David and a beam of silver and white light flew at him.

He erected a shield in front of him and it attempted to diffuse the light. It did for a few minutes. Chibiusa began to feel weak, like she couldn't hold up any longer, but Sailor Moon supported her. She would not collapse until she had defeated David.

The shield broke and he yelled out as he died. There was an explosion that knocked Chibiusa off her feet and light flew everywhere. She had no idea if it was good or bad, but she had no power left to try to contain it. She just hoped it wouldn't harm anyone.

She lay there gasping when the other Soldiers arrived. "You're late," she quipped.

"Late?" demanded Uranus. "What the hell happened?! You called us ten minutes ago and you say we're late?!"

"Ten minutes?! It only took ten minutes? I don't believe it," Chibiusa muttered.

"I don't believe it either," said a shocked voice above her. She looked where Mars was looking. There stood her father with his generals behind him, appearing in perfect health. He was staring at the sky, smiling. Chibiusa followed his gaze. A shuttle was coming.

She jumped to her feet as it landed. Luna came out first and then her mother. She looked just as beautiful as she always had and she had a serene smile on her face, walking slowly.

When she caught sight of husband, she gave a glad cry and ran into his waiting arms, twirling her around. "I was so afraid I would lose you," he murmured.

"Really?" she asked. "I had complete faith in our daughter."

She turned to Chibiusa who ran to her waiting arms. "I love you so much momma! I'm so sorry! It's my fault." Tears tracked down her face.

"No it isn't." Chibiusa looked up. "It was no one's fault."

The princess smiled as her body colored with light. When it was gone, she was dressed in her gown. She immediately collapsed into her mother's arms.

When she woke up, she saw Helios waiting next to her bed. "Helios," she said happily.

However when she attempted to hug him, he pulled away. She gave him a hurt look. "What is it?"

"Did you love that boy?" he asked abruptly.

Chibiusa colored. "No, I didn't. I just felt a few strange things, but no matter what I felt, I will always love you. No matter what."

He smiled and, glad to believe her, they embraced.

Her principal point blank refused to allow her to pass the year since she had just left and had not taken the finals when school had let out for the summer.

Jupiter kicked the desk so hard that part of the wood broke. Uranus put her hand on the green Soldier's shoulder. "Calm down, Jupiter."

Her and Neptune stood up. When they had been told that the Queen was sending Jupiter to deal with the problems, the two Outers had decided to accompany her in case they needed to restrain her. They had been right. They had had to stop Jupiter three times from using her most powerful attack on him.

"I will tell the Royal Family. They will decide what to do after that," said Neptune as they left the room.

As it turned out, Serenity and Endymion left to talk with the principal themselves. The Inner Senshi accompanied them as their royal guard and the Outers had continued their patrolling.

"You must understand, I simply cannot give her a graduation certificate without a test to see if she knows the material," he said disrespectfully.

The Queen nodded. "I understand."

"Why don't you give her a week or two and then have her take the finals. If she passes them, she graduates," Endymion suggested.

The principal glanced behind them and to the standing Senshi. They were looking particularly dangerous today. "Alright, I agree," he grumbled.

For two and a half weeks, Chibiusa studied hard, harder than she ever had before, spending most of her time with one of the Senshi, mostly Ami, and learning. When she showed up for the test in the silent building, she couldn't remember a time when she had been as nervous as this, not even in battle.

She spent two hours taking their tests. When she emerged from the building, all the Senshi, generals, Royal Family, and Luna, Artemis, Diana, and Helios were waiting for her. They took one look at her haggard face and assumed the worse until she smiled and held up a plaque.

"I did it!" she cried and hugged Helios. This was her happiest day.

"So you see, Kynthia," Serenity told her grandchild. "That's how your mother saved my life."

Kynthia was a small child, with dark silver hair, designed like her grandmother's and was five years old with a golden crescent moon on her forehead. Her light silver eyes were wide as she listened to the tale.

The door opened and a woman with rose pink hair in elongated balls walked in and picked up her daughter. "Alright, Mom. This little one needs to go to sleep."

"Bye bye," Serenity said, waving to her grandchild as she was taken to her room.

Kynthia smiled and said, "Sailor Moon."
