Chapter 11

Battle For The Kingdom and WHAT?!

"Who the hell are they?" Salem said firmly as he turned around. "I think they're......monkeys?" Raven said as he tried to make them out. "That's a pretty big monkey." Chibiusa said as she looked at the figures. "They're not monkeys you dolts!" Tsuaki yelled at the duo. Then one of the figures jumped down from the tree and started to slowly walk towards the group. "Seems he wants to fight." Salem said as he smirked. "Everyone wants to fight with you huh?" Chibiusa said as she sweatdropped.

Insuki jumped down out of the tree to follow his brother in the fight that was about to conduct between them all. "Do you think that they're strong?" Insuki asked. "They may be strong but not to our power." Rokaku said as he continued his way slowly towards the group. "This will be interesting." Insuki said as he smirked.

"There's only two..." Raven pointed out. "Doesn't look to hard." Tsuaki stated as he watched them get closer and closer. "Let's go." Salem said, not taking his eyes of the two. They all started walking closer to the men as they got closer to them. "Not you Chibi." Tsuaki said as he put his hand in front of her. "I can go!" Chibiusa yelled at Tsuaki. "Yea, if you can master a sword in the next, oh thirty seconds." And with that said he ran up to the group. "I can fight...." Chibiusa whispered under her breath as she watched them meet the men. She reached into her pocket and felt something hard. "My broach" She looked at the heart shaped locket and wondered if she still could use it since it had been a few years or so since she had last used it......

"What do you want?" Salem asked the two. "You know what we want, to see your death and to get the princess." Insuki said as he pointed to Chibiusa. "Princess...." Raven trailed off with a questionable expression on his face. "Sorry but I can't grant you any of your wishes!" Salem yelled as he hurled his sword for Insuki's heart but, when Salem had seen right before his eyes Insuki disappear. Salem's eyes grew dark, he knew it was coming, his back was left open......

Chibiusa suddenly got an urge to throw the broach up in the air but yell something different then before....a different phrase then "Moon Crisis Power Make Up!" or "Moon Cosmic Dream Action Make Up!" or even "Moon Eternal Power Make Up!". Something she just felt.

He waited for it, death. His back was open and in the time that Insuki disappeared and reappeared behind him so that he could jab the sword into his back and laugh as he lay on the ground thinking his last thoughts, breathing his last breaths. It hit, he felt the blade go into his back and didn't even hear the constant yells of "Salem!" from all of the people he had met his only friends before the incident, he still had to get revenge, how could he let himself die now?

Chibiusa raised her hand into the air, unaware of Salem's death. "Tsuki Royalty Element Make Up!" She yelled, and at that moment her broach changed and she started to transform. She grew wings on her back, and a crown that looked like her mothers on her head embedded in her hair to keep it in place. Her hair flew into a braid, her hands reached for her chest and rested between her breasts and then the silver crystal came out as it released many ribbons that formed the top part of her senshi uniform, the out fit was cut in half. The top had a blood red bow and that other thingie with the silver crystal floating in the middle of the bow. Her bottom was a single skirt that was also blood red, she had no gloves, her sword was at her side and she had a huge bow in the back.

Salem lay on the ground as the crimson liquid oozed out of his body and onto the dead leaves on the ground. "SALEM!" Raven yelled out to his long time friend. "Rave.....Chi....." Salem's eyes were now live less and he couldn't even make words, the sword was still embedded in his back. Insuki finally pulled the sword out of his back and Salem lay on the ground not moving anything. "Rave...........Chi......" He sputtered again and then his eyes slowly closed, never to be opened again.

Chibiusa stood and looked down at herself for a minute. "What?" It was then she heard the desperate pleas of her friends for......Salem? She turned around and saw the scene, red everywhere and tears coming from both Raven and Tsuaki's eyes. She gasped and slowly walked towards the couple. "R-R-Raven" She could barley get the words out of her mouth as she watched the silent tears flow from the twos eyes. "no" She shook her head. "NO!" Chibiusa was now at a yelling state as she collapsed to her knees, detransformed and covered her ears as soon the tears started to form and fall on the same dead leaves that Salem lay on.

No one had even realized the disappearance of the two men who had executed Salem. It was now Rokaku's turn to do something for the brother's benefit, he wasn't going to kill someone else, not until or if they followed him and his brother to their destination then it was time to kill. How could one of them be this easy to kill? Rokaku stepped forward and disappeared as his brother did before him.

"Elios-kun, Salem-kun....." Chibiusa was still in her same position and still the rivers of tears fell from her eyes and crashed on the ground. "Everyone around me dies." Her head hung lower if it even could. "He was just here talking to me earlier today, how!" She looked up at Salem's corpse and dared to touch his neck to have the one spark of hope that he was still alive. Chibiusa reached out her delicate hand and touched his neck only to feel nothing, this was really it, he was really gone never to be seen again. His insults and death threats, everything about him was great, he had helped her when Elios died and helped her when she began this crazy journey to be free.

Rokaku pulled out his sword so that incase he needed to he could cut Chibiusa to make sure she obeys. He walked up the trembling princess and grabbed her. Chibiusa saw the sword and made no effort to escape; she grabbed Rokaku's hand and held up to her chest. "Kill me." She said simply and then loosened her grip on his hand. "Are you crazy?!" Raven, Tsuaki and Rokaku stated at the same time. "Everyone I know is dead....I'd be better off dead so that no one else had to suffer." A single tear fell from her eye as she spoke the words. "We already would've killed you all if we needed you dead!" Rokaku yelled. "Raven, Tsuaki don't come after me, I don't want to be responsible for your deaths too." With that said Chibiusa and Rokaku disappeared somewhere unknown to all of them.

Raven fell down, Chibiusa and Salem, maybe the only two people who didn't consider it different for him to have wings. His town had always called him a freak but Salem and Chibiusa didn't mention it once, as if they never noticed. Tsuaki took off his jacket and threw it over Salem's body as he got down on his knees, prayed and then stood back up and nudged Raven. "Come on," Tsuaki didn't even smile. "we have some people to avenge." Then Tsuaki walked away, like Salem always had.
