Here I am, with the rest of the fight! Yes, Sailor Moon is angry, her true love is injured. And, in case you're wondering, Mars is NOT dead, just hurt. Before I get started, I should explain what Onslaught and Aftermath look like... Onslaught is a very large beast, somewhat reptilian in appearance, of limited itelligence, only stands about 5'8, has massive muscles, a hard head and no neck, and doesn't speak much. Aftermath, however, is about 6'4, more human-looking than most youma, has 10-inch claws on both hands, not very muscular but extremely fast, and talks too much (basically, a youma version of the Street Fighter character, Vega: ya know, the guy with the claw-gauntlet and mask, who thinks he's beautiful?) Okay, Time to get started...

Part 13: Fight For Survival...


A stare-down is ensuing between the two youma, Onslaught and Aftermath, and Eternal Moon. She releases the handle of Exavyre with her left hand and points toward the two youma.

"Which one of you attacked her?" she questions, demandingly.

Aftermath is standing with his arms somewhat folded, his right hand covering part of his face. He moves his hand, revealing his bloody claws.

"I did." he replies, calmly, "And, I must say..."

He licks the blood from one of his claws.

"Her blood is most tasty." he says, then laughs.

Eternal Moon regrips the handle of her sword with her left hand and says, "Then, You're the one I want!" She flies off the ground and toward Aftermath.

Sailor Mars raises up to see her beloved fly toward Aftermath.

"N-no..." she says, barely, "S-Serena..."

"Very well." Aftermath responds, stepping forward, "Come on, then, Sailor Moon. I shall end the pathetic existence you call a life!"

Aftermath dashes toward the advancing Sailor Moon and slashes with his left claws. Eternal Moon parries the swipe with Exavyre and takes a second swing. Aftermath easily dodges the swing, by jumping backwards, or so he thinks... after landing several steps away, he realizes her attack actually made contact.

'Incredible! She's definitely gotten stronger since Chaos!' Shawn thinks, as he watches Eternal Moon parry more of Aftermath's advances.

Aftermath and Eternal Moon's blades connect with a clash, and cause an explosion of energy, blowing both of them back. Both land on their feet, breathing somewhat heavily, and prepare again to battle.

"Now, You die!" Aftermath states and he darts toward Eternal Moon.

Aftermath begins spinning at a rate only slightly slower than Raika had. Eternal Moon tenses her muscles slightly and grips Exavyre's handle more firmly. Just as Aftermath nears Eternal Moon, He launches an attack, by thrusting his right claws toward her, causing dust to stir up around them. However, When the dust settles, Eternal Moon is down on one knee, holding Aftermath's right arm above her, with Exavyre thrust through the youma's abdomen. Aftermath's blood runs down the blade of Exavyre, then onto Eternal Moon's hand.

"How..." Aftermath says, coughing, black blood running out from the side of his mouth, "How did you... do that...?"

"You hurt Rei..." Eternal Moon replies, forcing the blade further in, "MY REI! My true love!"

Eternal Moon jumps straight up, jerking Exavyre up through Aftermath, slicing him in half, causing a brilliant spectacle of blood. She spins once in the air and lands on her feet, her back to Aftermath's body. Aftermath's body falls to the ground and melts into nothing. Exavyre vanishes from Eternal Moon's hand and she drops to her knees.

Sailor Mars runs over to her princess and kneels down beside her.

"You okay?" asks Sailor Mars.

Eternal Moon nods, Mars breathes a relieved sigh and smiles gently. Then hugs her true love.

"ROOOAAAARRRR!!"

"Dammit!" Mars says, as she turns away from Eternal Moon, "I forgot about Onslaught!"

"YOu!" Onslaught says, "Pr-rePaRE tO DiE!!"

The large youma begins running toward the two Senshi, making loud crashing sounds with each step. Eternal Moon and Sailor Mars stand up, and both enter a fighting stance. Onslaught swings a right punch downward at Eternal Moon but, with a single flap of her wings, she dodges out of his way. As Onslaught pulls his fist from the ground, Sailor Mars hits him with a right roundhouse kick to the side of his head, causing him to turn half-way around, to his left. He merely grins and swings his massive right arm at her, in a backhand punch, knocking her back into a tree. He charges at her but, she manages to move and he slams head-first into the tree, completely up-rooting it. She lands behind him and next to Eternal Moon. Onslaught turns and charges them again. As he runs by them, he grabs both of them by the head, Mars with his right and Moon with his left. He runs a few more steps and slams both into the ground, then stands back up.

"Hahahahaha!" Onslaught laughs, "OnSLauGHT dEfeATS SaiLOr SEnShI! SenSHi nO maTCh fOR OnslAUGhT! Hahahahaha--"

In a flash, A silver chain wraps around the large youma's head. The chain tightens.

"Heh heh heh!" Shawn laughs, "Did you forget about me, big guy?"

Shawn tightens the chain even more and he uses his strength to pull the monster, slightly. Then, He jerks the youma away from the Senshi and into another tree.

"OnsLAUghT NOt fORGeT!" Onslaught says.

He overpowers Shawn and jerks him over his head, with Shawn's own chain. And, drives him into the ground. Shawn retracts the chain and it wraps itself back around his right arm.

"ONSlaUght MAkE yOU DeAD!" taunts Onslaught.

He punches the ground, sending a shockwave toward Shawn, who's just getting up. However, Shawn's cape grows and surronds him, creating a shell around him. Afterward, His cape returns to normal.

"My attire is a living extension of myself." Shawn informs, "I suppose 4000 years has caused Hariel to forget much about Diablos!"

"We have to help." Eternal Moon says, "Shawn can't win, alone."

"You're right!" Sailor Mars responds, as she closes her eyes and concentrates, causing the Ifrit Gauntlets to materialize. "I think I'm getting the hang of these things!" she adds, with a smirk.

Onslaught charges at Shawn and launches a right punch at him. However, Mars blocks the punch, with her left gauntlet-clad arm.

"You can't have all the fun, Shawn." Mars says, as she catches Onslaught's left fist in her right hand.

"Thanks." Shawn says.

Eternal Moon connects by slashing down Onslaught's back with Exavyre, causing him to scream out. Mars releases his hand and kicks him in the abdomen with her right foot, then a left punch to his head and a right roundhouse, sending him staggering back. Eternal Moon lands next to Mars and throws her sword, like a javeline at the youma. Shawn draws his sword and throws it toward Onslaught, like a javeline as well. Both swords pierce the large youma and Mars dashes toward him. She jumps slightly off the ground and spins once. Her right foot begins flaming, like her hands do, as she launches a kick into the handles of the swords, forcing them further into Onslaught. Then, Mars holds her hand infront of Onslaught's face.

"Your turn to die!" Mars says, as a fireball appears in her hand, "Mars Fire Ignite!"

Mars' blast vaporizes Onslaught's head and he falls to the ground, with a loud crash. Exavyre vanishes from Eternal Moon's hand and she detransforms to Sailor Moon. Shawn holds out his hand, willing his sword to return to him, and he sheathes it.

"It's over." Shawn says, wiping his forehead with the back of his right hand.


~Hariel's Lair~

"Are you happy now, Hariel?" Endymion says, "You've sacrificed 6 regular youma, plus 2 Elite!"

"Yes..." Hariel replies, smiling, "We have found out, they do have their limits. And, We can exploit those weaknesses."

"What do you mean?" asks Endymion.

"You'll find out." replies Hariel, as he passes his hand infront of the viewing globe, causing the image to fade to black.
