I'm almost finished. Hope it won't take too much longer. I know chapter 8
was a bit confusing, but this should clear it all up. If you're wondering
it is supposed to be ambiguous which side Usagi is on.

"How do you know that Usagi is on our side? What about last time when she tricked us into believing that she had escaped?" Michiru asked kneeling down. Mamoru sat up, irritated.
"This time I saw the change come over her. Her eyes, they because blue. The returned to their beautiful blue color. I know, I have a connection to her heart and soul, and I felt a small part of it open." He paused, laying back down, exhausted. "I know it sounds crazy, but she's going to act like she's on their side this time, then she'll ask for our energy. When she does, we need to help her." The rest of the senchi looked to each other skeptically. "Look I know you think my judgment is suspect because I love her, but why would she send me back if she wasn't on our side?"
"It could be to deceive us." Ami reasoned calmly. "Besides when you came back we weren't entirely sure that you were going to make it. Whatever they did to you was pretty bad. You were terribly weak, and had lost a lot of blood."
"Usako just didn't have the time to heal me, she knew someone would be coming for me soon, and she had to send me back in this condition. Please trust me. Trust her." Mamoru begged. "Pluto-san you know what's going to happen, can't you tell us?" Mamoru asked turning to her.
"I cannot reveal the future; even if I was allowed to the future is not set in stone. In another reality Demando raped Serenity-hime, in this one she escaped. In one reality she really did escape from his castle, in this one she didn't. I can't tell you which path you will lead yourself down. All I know is that instinct tells me to trust you Prince." Pluto replied from her corner of the room.
"Between Pluto and the Prince their word is good enough for me." Uranus said after a strained silence.
"Me too." Neptune replied looking over to her lover. Slowly the rest of the Senchi agreed.
"Alright then Mamoru-san, you win. Save up you're strength. This next battle won't be easy even with Usagi on our side." Ami said taking his temperature.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Don't let me die here
There must be something wrong.
Bring me to life.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Serenity strode back to her chamber, she posture not betraying her feelings. She opened the door with a loud creak and began to undress ready for a long bath.
"Serenity." Demando's voice called lustfully from a corner of the room. Startled Serenity snatched up a garment to cover her body and twirled around.
"What are you doing here?" She asked, her voice laced with irritation.
"I came to see you. You said we could play once our work was done." He replied coming over to her and whispering into her ear. She shoved him a side roughly.
"Our work isn't done. The senchi are still alive, and earth still flourishes."
"But can't you take a break from work?"
"I can but I don't have any desire to do so." Serenity replied striding over to her bathroom door. "Away with you Demando, I want to relax." Demando growled in frustration.
"You will be mine." With that he came toward her intending to force himself upon her. Demando grabbed her wrist.
"Over my cold dead body." Serenity replied. With a snap of her fingers a pile of dust lay at her feet were Demando once stood. Serenity kicked to pile of ashes, allowing them to scatter across the floor, and retreated to her bathroom.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
(Wake me up.)
Wake me up inside.
(I can't wake up.)
Wake me up inside.
(Save me.)
Call my name and save me from the dark.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Wise Man grinned as he felt Demando's energy charge disappear. Now that Demando was out of the way he could use Serenity as his main pawn and queen. He began to draw out his war plan. First he would have droids attack along with Rubius and the four sisters. Then Emerald and Safir. The grand Finale would be watching as Serenity killed her little boyfriend and senchi without batting an eyelash, and they would never know what hit them. That thought delighted him. He would enjoy watching the look of horror as Endymion figured out what had happened only a few seconds too late. Once they had the senchi out of the way he would use Serenity's body as a channel for energy. Once his energy had been poured into the earth it would cause an imbalance large enough to destroy the silver dimension, the dimension of earth. He called Rubius to him. It was time to begin.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
(Wake me up.)
Bid my blood to run.
(I can't wake up.)
Before I come undone.
(Save me.)
Save me from the nothing I've become.
~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~
Serenity was beyond nervous. She was terrified. She knew that Wiseman had already sent Rubius and the sisters off. Soon it would be her turn. She knew that this world's fate would rest on her shoulders, and she was terrified that she would choose the wrong path. Right now it felt as though she had been split into two different people. One side urged her to turn on Wiseman. That side wanted her to go through with the plan she had concocted. But there was another side. This side wanted her to take over this universe. This side wanted her to destroy Endymion for all the pain. This side was dark, it scared her. It was powerful, and there were times she feared it would win over her more forgiving side. She felt as the senchi destroyed the sisters and Rubius. They were stronger than she remembered; then again she had strengthened over the years as well. She felt the outer senchi's presence. She felt that Seiya and the lights were also battling. They would probably be able to take care of Emerald and Safir, with no problems. They had to. She couldn't help them; she couldn't afford to blow her cover, not yet.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Bring me to life.
I've been living a lie
There's nothing inside.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Seiya cringed as an attack skimmed her shoulder. These dorids kept getting stronger and stronger. She sure hopped Usagi was ok. She kept hopping to see her, even if she was fighting against them. She really didn't believe that Mamoru was correct in believing that Usagi was 100% cured of evil energy. She could still feel dark energy clawing at Usagi's soul, but she prayed to kami above that Usagi would win over the evil. Seiya looked up just as two new enemies appeared. They introduced themselves and Emereld and Safir. Seiya groaned. She was getting tired and she had no idea how many layers back they would have to go before they finally saw Usagi. "Star Serious Laser!" Seiya shouted directing her attack at the woman named Emerald. A few more blows and Emerarld was down. Seiya turned to Safir. They could at least win this round.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Serenity entered the porthole which would transport her back to earth. She nodded to wiseman and felt as dark energy surrounded her. She opened her eyes to find that she hovered in the air above the senchi's heads. They looked up at her and gasped. She saw Mamoru wink at her, but did not respond. Haruka was the first to speak.
"Finally a moderate challenge, those other droids were boring us." Haruka yelled up to her. Serenity turned to her and raised one perfect eyebrow.
"So you think that was easy?" Serenity asked. There was a pause, Haruka wasn't sure if that was meant to be a rhetorical question. "Eat this." Serenity replied lifting her hands above her head and shooting dark energy at them. Their desperate cries pleased the dark side of her soul. She stopped for a moment. Endymion looked up at her, his eyes showed the raw emotions he felt. She had betrayed him, his trust. Serenity's heart broke when she looked into those eyes. She remembered the feeling of being loved. The feeling when she collapsed into his arms. How he had held her while she sobbed into his shirt. How he had loved her even after she had beaten him so savagely. She heard Wiseman's voice boom above her.
"What's wrong Serenity-sama?" He asked.
"Nothing." Serenity lied.
"It's ok, Serenity. I understand anyone can get afraid sometimes. Let me give you an energy booster, you're just tired." Serenity nodded, her dark side overcoming the good in her soul. She prepared to accept the energy. As soon as the energy touched her body a blinding light flashed in the sky and Serenity found herself in Pluto's realm.
"Serenity-sama, what are you doing?" Pluto asked looking into Serenity's eyes.
"Lower your eyes. You are in the presence of the queen of this world." Serenity replied, avoiding Pluto's question.
"What gives you the right to call yourself the queen of this world?" Pluto asked, not lowering her eyes.
"My mother was the queen and I am her successor." Serenity replied.
"You have lost the right to call yourself your mother's daughter." Pluto replied coldly. Serenity looked up absolutely stunned. It was like someone had just slapped her in the face.
"How can you say that?" She asked more hurt than angry.
"You have forgotten about all those who cared for you. You are destroying everything that your mother ever worked for. You have forgotten why she gave her life for you. You are destroying the world she gave her life to preserve."
"She didn't give her life to preserve anything. Endymion and his people killed her." Serenity replied, her voice full of venom.
"Do you really believe that, or is that what you've been told?" Pluto asked. Serenity remained silent. "Let me show you what would have happened had it not been for Endymion's love for you." Pluto said, placing two fingers of the black crescent moon symbol on Serenity's forehead.
*FLASHBACK*
Usagi awoke with a pounding headache. Groaning she sat up. The entire room was pitch black. Suddenly afraid, Usagi looked around frantically trying to figure out where she was. She couldn't remember anything after giving a concert somewhere. Shivering Usagi curled into a ball and began to cry softly to herself. She felt weak and lightheaded and really all she wanted to do was be back in Endymion's arms.
"So your awake princess." A mans voice called. There was a snap and the room was illuminated by the soft glow of candles. There stood Prince Diamond. Usagi jumped to her feet intending to fight, but immediately wished she hadn't. Prince Diamond watched as the young princess fell to the ground. "Don't do that sweet, your body isn't used to the atmosphere on this planet." Usagi glared up at the prince with absolute hate in her eyes.
"I hate you." She stated as she again tried to rise.
"I can't say I'm surprised to hear that out of you princess. You always had a reputation for having a fiery spirit and temper. I just hope you bring the same fire to bed." He said his eyes clouding over with lust.
"I would rather die." Usagi spat out.
"That can be arranged. But I think that you will feel differently about me once I'm through with you." He said smiling and walking over to Usagi. Usagi pulled away feeling like a mouse caught in a trap. Diamond simply smiled his flawless smile and picked Usagi up carrying her princess style and placed her onto her bed. Usagi looked up in his eyes and saw the unmistakable lust. Silently praying that Selene would save her Usagi shook her head. Diamond smiled wider and leaned down to kiss her. Usagi let out a sob as she felt Diamond tear off her shirt. The entire palace could hear Usagi's anguished cries and grimaced at the pain Diamond was putting her through.
*END FLASHBACK*
"Do you remember Serenity?" Pluto asked taking her hand away from the princess's forehead. "Do you remember how Endymion-san begged me to change the past, so that you didn't have to live through that?" Serenity nodded numbly. "What about this?" She asked replacing her hand.
*FLASHBACK*
"He's got a gun!!" Usagi heard a shot fired and turned around in time to see a bullet coming straight towards her. Usagi wanted to run, but it was coming too fast. She waited for the pain to come through her. Suddenly she felt herself being pushed out of the way. She hit the floor hard. Another shot was fired. Then another. She heard screaming. She looked up to see Mamoru's figure on top of her. She blinked and it was gone.
*END FLASHBACK*
"He loved you so much that he was able to break the laws of physics and be in two places at once. He did that just to save your life." Serenity heard Pluto's voice before she was sucked into another memory.
*FLASHBACK*
"Do you really want to do this?" Mamoru asked her after a long pause.
"What?" She asked, sitting down curious as to what he had to say.
"Live like this? Be a pawn to Wise Man. Letting Demando ogle you? No friends, no family, no loved one? Do you really want to live you're life alone?" She looked at him, her eyes showing thousands of emotions as they raced through her mind. "I've done it Usako. Lived with the mentality that it was every man for themselves. Figuring that ever time someone else failed it was my chance to win. I had to live like that Usako, until you came along. You made everything bright, you didn't worry, you were beautiful, and fun and spunky, and sexy and smart." He paused for breath. "Not grade smarts like I have, you had the street smarts, and you cared about others, no matter how cruel they were to you. You were kind enough that you could even love someone as cold hearted as me. And with time my heart melted and I realized that I had fallen in love with you." He paused and looked deep into her eyes. "And I still love you. I pushed you away to protect you Usako. I love you and I always will, no matter what." Serenity looked at him, tears shining in her eyes.
"How can you possibly know how you'll feel in a few years, let alone forever? What if I did something horrid, what if I killed you? You'd hate me. Why am I even having this conversation with you?! I hate you I hate all terrains!"
"Do you really?" He asked tilting his head. "To answer you're question I know that emotions which I feel this strongly in my heart of hearts can't disappear or lessen. I just know. I can't tell you how, I just do. If you killed me I might be a little angry, but I could never hate you. I love you no matter what. This bond that we have is unbreakable, weather or not you can feel it, it's there. That's why you made that droid stop. You felt it. And bit by bit the old Usako I knew it reappearing." Serenity looked into Mamoru's eyes and burst into sobs.
"Gomen, gomen nasai! Aishiteru Mamo-chan, I love you." She sobbed into his shirt. Mamoru reached a shaky hand up and stroked Usagi's hair.
"Daijyoubu Usako. Aishiteru. We can be together now."
*END FLASHBACK*
"He said that even after you beat him. He promised his everlasting love, and he has every intention of giving it to you." Pluto paused as she noticed a tear fall from Serenity's midnight blue eyes. "How can you hate someone who is willing to give everything for you?" Pluto asked. There was no answer. "You were right; the fate of the world does rest in your hands. It rests on the strength of this ancient bond of love formed between the two of you. My question to you is: Just how strong is this bond?" With another flash of light Serenity found herself back hovering above earth, just as Wiseman was finishing his energy transfer.
"Wiseman. I am ready to start transferring the energy to earth." Serenity said looking up toward the heavens. Serenity turned to face Endymion. "Once I channel enough energy into the Earth it will destroy the balance which has been created and this planet will cease to exist." She laughed evilly as Wiseman began to channel energy through her body. In her heart she was nervous. This was the moment of truth, once there was enough energy it would be time to set her plan into motion. She allowed the dark energy to fuse with the energy of her silver crystal creating a hybrid power far more powerful and deadly than anything else. This was deadly to both sides. Wise man appeared beside her, still channeling the energy. Serenity felt the energy levels in her body raising. She looked at Wiseman then back to Endymion. She made her decision and fired.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
What do you think? Should I leave it there?!
Naw, I might as well finish what I started.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Endymion watched as Serenity's shot energy toward Wiseman. It crackled white hot and black streaks showed through. Wiseman immediately began to absorb the energy, becoming more powerful.
"Stupid girl, you thought that you could destroy me the same way you destroyed Demando? Surprise!" He replied and shot energy at her. Serenity didn't flinch. She began to absorb his attacks and sent them back at him. He stopped attacking, seeing as it wasn't doing anything. The energy Serenity shot at him became pure white energy.
"Usako, stop it, you're just making him more powerful!" Mamoru yelled. Serenity turned to him, and the black crescent moon faded from her forehead. Tears shown in her crystal blue eyes.
"Enajii onegaishimasu (I need your energy)!!." She replied. Mamoru nodded to the rest of the senchi and they began to channel their energy through her. She turned back to Wiseman. "You want power?! Take this!" She extracted the crystal from inside her heart and used it to power up. Suddenly Mamoru realized what Usagi was doing.
"Usako, Yamete!! Yamete kudasai! (Usako stop it. Please stop it.)" Mamoru cried. He turned back to the rest of the senchi. "She's channeling all this energy through her body. She knows that her body can handle more energy than Wiseman's. She's going to kill him by overloading his body with energy, but it will probably kill her as well." Wiseman and also just figured out what was going on. He tried desperately to make her stop.
Usagi heard Mamoru's cries for her to stop. She knew he knew what was going on. She couldn't allow him to stop giving her energy. It was too late to stop now; Wiseman was powerful and would just kill them all. She needed them to cooperate for this. She used he link which she had just rediscovered and drew his power through it. "Aishiteru Mamo-chan." Usagi said looking inot his eyes and streams of tears fell from her own. "Sayounara minna-san." With that she teleported Wiseman and herself into the middle of the galaxy and released the final blow.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
There was a brilliant flash of light in the sky, and Mamoru collapsed to his knees. Mishiru rushed to his side.
"She's gone." He said tears rolling down his cheeks.
"She could have just shut off the link." Minako replied hopefully. Mamoru shook his head.
"Usako, she's dead."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~~*~
Yes, she is dead, no this is not the last chapter. I have two more to go, so don't stop reading. Hope to post them soon. Lost of reviews onegai!!!

"How do you know that Usagi is on our side? What about last time when she tricked us into believing that she had escaped?" Michiru asked kneeling down. Mamoru sat up, irritated.
"This time I saw the change come over her. Her eyes, they because blue. The returned to their beautiful blue color. I know, I have a connection to her heart and soul, and I felt a small part of it open." He paused, laying back down, exhausted. "I know it sounds crazy, but she's going to act like she's on their side this time, then she'll ask for our energy. When she does, we need to help her." The rest of the senchi looked to each other skeptically. "Look I know you think my judgment is suspect because I love her, but why would she send me back if she wasn't on our side?"
"It could be to deceive us." Ami reasoned calmly. "Besides when you came back we weren't entirely sure that you were going to make it. Whatever they did to you was pretty bad. You were terribly weak, and had lost a lot of blood."
"Usako just didn't have the time to heal me, she knew someone would be coming for me soon, and she had to send me back in this condition. Please trust me. Trust her." Mamoru begged. "Pluto-san you know what's going to happen, can't you tell us?" Mamoru asked turning to her.
"I cannot reveal the future; even if I was allowed to the future is not set in stone. In another reality Demando raped Serenity-hime, in this one she escaped. In one reality she really did escape from his castle, in this one she didn't. I can't tell you which path you will lead yourself down. All I know is that instinct tells me to trust you Prince." Pluto replied from her corner of the room.
"Between Pluto and the Prince their word is good enough for me." Uranus said after a strained silence.
"Me too." Neptune replied looking over to her lover. Slowly the rest of the Senchi agreed.
"Alright then Mamoru-san, you win. Save up you're strength. This next battle won't be easy even with Usagi on our side." Ami said taking his temperature.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Don't let me die here

Serenity strode back to her chamber, she posture not betraying her feelings. She opened the door with a loud creak and began to undress ready for a long bath.
"Serenity." Demando's voice called lustfully from a corner of the room. Startled Serenity snatched up a garment to cover her body and twirled around.
"What are you doing here?" She asked, her voice laced with irritation.
"I came to see you. You said we could play once our work was done." He replied coming over to her and whispering into her ear. She shoved him a side roughly.
"Our work isn't done. The senchi are still alive, and earth still flourishes."
"But can't you take a break from work?"
"I can but I don't have any desire to do so." Serenity replied striding over to her bathroom door. "Away with you Demando, I want to relax." Demando growled in frustration.
"You will be mine." With that he came toward her intending to force himself upon her. Demando grabbed her wrist.
"Over my cold dead body." Serenity replied. With a snap of her fingers a pile of dust lay at her feet were Demando once stood. Serenity kicked to pile of ashes, allowing them to scatter across the floor, and retreated to her bathroom.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Wise Man grinned as he felt Demando's energy charge disappear. Now that Demando was out of the way he could use Serenity as his main pawn and queen. He began to draw out his war plan. First he would have droids attack along with Rubius and the four sisters. Then Emerald and Safir.

Serenity was beyond nervous. She was terrified. She knew that Wiseman had already sent Rubius and the sisters off. Soon it would be her turn. She knew that this world's fate would rest on her shoulders, and she was terrified that she would choose the wrong path. Right now it felt as though she had been split into two different people. One side urged her to turn on Wiseman. That side wanted her to go through with the plan she had concocted. But there was another side. This side wanted her to take over this universe. This side wanted her to destroy Endymion for all the pain. This side was dark, it scared her. It was powerful, and there were times she feared it would win over her more forgiving side. She felt as the senchi destroyed the sisters and Rubius. They were stronger than she remembered; then again she had strengthened over the years as well. She felt the outer senchi's presence. She felt that Seiya and the lights were also battling. They would probably be able to take care of Emerald and Safir, with no problems. They had to. She couldn't help them; she couldn't afford to blow her cover, not yet.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Seiya cringed as an attack skimmed her shoulder. These dorids kept getting stronger and stronger. She sure hopped Usagi was ok. She kept hopping to see her, even if she was fighting against them. She really didn't believe that Mamoru was correct in believing that Usagi was 100% cured of evil energy. She could still feel dark energy clawing at Usagi's soul, but she prayed to kami above that Usagi would win over the evil. Seiya looked up just as two new enemies appeared.

"Star Serious Laser!" Seiya shouted directing her attack at the woman named Emerald. A few more blows and Emerarld was down. Seiya turned to Safir. They could at least win this round.

"It's ok, Serenity. I understand anyone can get afraid sometimes. Let me give you an energy booster, you're just tired." Serenity nodded, her dark side overcoming the good in her soul. She prepared to accept the energy. As soon as the energy touched her body a blinding light flashed in the sky and Serenity found herself in Pluto's realm.
"Serenity-sama, what are you doing?" Pluto asked looking into Serenity's eyes.
"Lower your eyes. You are in the presence of the queen of this world." Serenity replied, avoiding Pluto's question.
"What gives you the right to call yourself the queen of this world?" Pluto asked, not lowering her eyes.
"My mother was the queen and I am her successor." Serenity replied.
"You have lost the right to call yourself your mother's daughter." Pluto replied coldly. Serenity looked up absolutely stunned. It was like someone had just slapped her in the face.
"How can you say that?" She asked more hurt than angry.
"You have forgotten about all those who cared for you. You are destroying everything that your mother ever worked for. You have forgotten why she gave her life for you. You are destroying the world she gave her life to preserve."
"She didn't give her life to preserve anything. Endymion and his people killed her." Serenity replied, her voice full of venom.
"Do you really believe that, or is that what you've been told?" Pluto asked. Serenity remained silent. "Let me show you what would have happened had it not been for Endymion's love for you." Pluto said, placing two fingers of the black crescent moon symbol on Serenity's forehead.

"I hate you." She stated as she again tried to rise.
"I can't say I'm surprised to hear that out of you princess. You always had a reputation for having a fiery spirit and temper. I just hope you bring the same fire to bed." He said his eyes clouding over with lust.
"I would rather die." Usagi spat out.
"That can be arranged. But I think that you will feel differently about me once I'm through with you." He said smiling and walking over to Usagi.

"He loved you so much that he was able to break the laws of physics and be in two places at once. He did that just to save your life." Serenity heard Pluto's voice before she was sucked into another memory.
*FLASHBACK*
"Do you really want to do this?" Mamoru asked her after a long pause.
"What?" She asked, sitting down curious as to what he had to say.
"Live like this? Be a pawn to Wise Man. Letting Demando ogle you? No friends, no family, no loved one? Do you really want to live you're life alone?" She looked at him, her eyes showing thousands of emotions as they raced through her mind. "I've done it Usako. Lived with the mentality that it was every man for themselves. Figuring that ever time someone else failed it was my chance to win. I had to live like that Usako, until you came along. You made everything bright, you didn't worry, you were beautiful, and fun and spunky, and sexy and smart." He paused for breath. "Not grade smarts like I have, you had the street smarts, and you cared about others, no matter how cruel they were to you. You were kind enough that you could even love someone as cold hearted as me. And with time my heart melted and I realized that I had fallen in love with you." He paused and looked deep into her eyes. "And I still love you. I pushed you away to protect you Usako. I love you and I always will, no matter what." Serenity looked at him, tears shining in her eyes.
"How can you possibly know how you'll feel in a few years, let alone forever? What if I did something horrid, what if I killed you? You'd hate me. Why am I even having this conversation with you?! I hate you I hate all terrains!"
"Do you really?" He asked tilting his head. "To answer you're question I know that emotions which I feel this strongly in my heart of hearts can't disappear or lessen. I just know. I can't tell you how, I just do. If you killed me I might be a little angry, but I could never hate you. I love you no matter what. This bond that we have is unbreakable, weather or not you can feel it, it's there. That's why you made that droid stop. You felt it. And bit by bit the old Usako I knew it reappearing." Serenity looked into Mamoru's eyes and burst into sobs.
"Gomen, gomen nasai! Aishiteru Mamo-chan, I love you." She sobbed into his shirt. Mamoru reached a shaky hand up and stroked Usagi's hair.
"Daijyoubu Usako. Aishiteru. We can be together now."
*END FLASHBACK*
"He said that even after you beat him. He promised his everlasting love, and he has every intention of giving it to you." Pluto paused as she noticed a tear fall from Serenity's midnight blue eyes. "How can you hate someone who is willing to give everything for you?" Pluto asked. There was no answer. "You were right; the fate of the world does rest in your hands. It rests on the strength of this ancient bond of love formed between the two of you. My question to you is: Just how strong is this bond?" With another flash of light Serenity found herself back hovering above earth, just as Wiseman was finishing his energy transfer.
"Wiseman. I am ready to start transferring the energy to earth." Serenity said looking up toward the heavens. Serenity turned to face Endymion. "Once I channel enough energy into the Earth it will destroy the balance which has been created and this planet will cease to exist." She laughed evilly as Wiseman began to channel energy through her body. In her heart she was nervous. This was the moment of truth, once there was enough energy it would be time to set her plan into motion. She allowed the dark energy to fuse with the energy of her silver crystal creating a hybrid power far more powerful and deadly than anything else. This was deadly to both sides. Wise man appeared beside her, still channeling the energy. Serenity felt the energy levels in her body raising. She looked at Wiseman then back to Endymion. She made her decision and fired.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
What do you think? Should I leave it there?!
Naw, I might as well finish what I started.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Endymion watched as Serenity's shot energy toward Wiseman. It crackled white hot and black streaks showed through. Wiseman immediately began to absorb the energy, becoming more powerful.
"Stupid girl, you thought that you could destroy me the same way you destroyed Demando? Surprise!" He replied and shot energy at her. Serenity didn't flinch. She began to absorb his attacks and sent them back at him. He stopped attacking, seeing as it wasn't doing anything. The energy Serenity shot at him became pure white energy.
"Usako, stop it, you're just making him more powerful!" Mamoru yelled. Serenity turned to him, and the black crescent moon faded from her forehead. Tears shown in her crystal blue eyes.
"Enajii onegaishimasu (I need your energy)!!." She replied. Mamoru nodded to the rest of the senchi and they began to channel their energy through her. She turned back to Wiseman. "You want power?! Take this!" She extracted the crystal from inside her heart and used it to power up. Suddenly Mamoru realized what Usagi was doing.
"Usako, Yamete!! Yamete kudasai! (Usako stop it. Please stop it.)" Mamoru cried. He turned back to the rest of the senchi. "She's channeling all this energy through her body. She knows that her body can handle more energy than Wiseman's. She's going to kill him by overloading his body with energy, but it will probably kill her as well." Wiseman and also just figured out what was going on. He tried desperately to make her stop.
Usagi heard Mamoru's cries for her to stop. She knew he knew what was going on. She couldn't allow him to stop giving her energy. It was too late to stop now; Wiseman was powerful and would just kill them all. She needed them to cooperate for this. She used he link which she had just rediscovered and drew his power through it. "Aishiteru Mamo-chan." Usagi said looking inot his eyes and streams of tears fell from her own. "Sayounara minna-san." With that she teleported Wiseman and herself into the middle of the galaxy and released the final blow.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
There was a brilliant flash of light in the sky, and Mamoru collapsed to his knees. Mishiru rushed to his side.
"She's gone." He said tears rolling down his cheeks.
"She could have just shut off the link." Minako replied hopefully. Mamoru shook his head.
"Usako, she's dead."
