ok obviously u didn't actually think i would wait for the reviews i asked for did u? (i only have reviews from 3 or 4 different ppl ") well I would have waited but i have finally found an excellent way to begin my IY SM Xover so i will post this last chapter for anyone who actually likes this stuff i tried to call a story. now this last chappie may be a bit confusing but all will be revealed (almost) and i am planning a prequel type thing for this fic taking place in the Silver Millennium when Setsuna met Seth and his "romantic" rival. so u have that to look forward to. also I plan on going back and reformatting this fic so it is easier to read. YAY I'm done typing so now I wont put in anymore empty sentences stalling you from reading this extremely surprising (and very last) chapter to "Pluto Knight by:SailorPluto16" and without (much) further ado. your final chapter...
DISCLAIMER: for the last time I don't own them, and probably never will, so stop making fun of me =P
Ch.10: The Final Confrontation
Negaverse-Throne Room:
King Daios staggered in the door of the throne room. Shiro jumped up from his seat in the throne and walked up to Daios' shaking form. Shiro looked down at Daios sternly.
"What happened?" Daios fell to his knee's and bowed.
"I'm sorry my Prince. She escaped, with her friends, and her knight." (bet you're pretty confused now, right? good. don't worry it'll clear up for those of you who haven't caught it yet.) Shiro shook his head disappointedly.
"You let her escape? And to add onto that you failed to kill Seth? Now Daios you shall have to be punished for your failure."
Daios looked at Shiro fright written on his face. "It was a mistake. If I am given another chance I am sure I can destroy the Pluto Knight. Please give me a second chance my Lord." Daios pleaded for another chance.
Shiro kicked the would-be king. "Daios you fool! No one fails me and lives! My mother may have been lenient with her incompetent generals, but I am much more firm. You have failed me Daios, now you shall be punished."
Daios cowered and awaited his punishment. "Please have mercy..." Shiro raised his hand and Daios exploded into a cloud of mist.
"No one fails me and lives Daios, no one." Prince Shiro sat back down in the throne. "She'll be mine soon. I never should have trusted that fool to take care of this. That baka Kurama rushed in, Sia was a fool though I must admit I had a hand in her death. But anyone who could love that baka Daios deserved it." Shiro began to form a plan to get rid of the Sailor Senshi when a bright light filled the chamber.
Sailor Pluto lowered her staff. She had brought them straight to the throne room as that was most likely the place he would go to recover. She looked around for King Daios but instead she saw one of his generals.
"Where is King Daios?" Pluto Knight stepped next to her. They were standing in the front of the group. Then the stranger spoke.
"Oh Princess Pluto surely you have realized by now that that fool was not your true enemy?" Sailor Pluto nodded with a look of hatred written across her face. "Then I suppose you have figured out who I am?" Pluto Knight stepped forward and pulled out his sword.
"I told you then that she was taken. Apparently you can't take no for an answer, Shiro!" Shiro laughed and his general uniform faded and turned into black armor the same as Pluto Knight's.
"Seth it has been a long time but I see that you are still unworthy to walk in the presence of the Princess." Pluto Knight and Shiro began to fight, dodging, stabbing, jabbing and generally trying to harm each other.
Sailor Pluto remembered another man who had been interested in her the same as Seth had been. Both were knights in training. Seth had been nice to her as had Shiro but she found out that Shiro was only interested in her looks, and that he was the young son of Queen Beryl. She had dismissed him immediately but he had continued to stalk her until she had him banished back to Earth with his mother. That had happened only a year before Beryl's attack on the Moon Kingdom.
Sailor Pluto snapped out of her memory and turned to the other Senshi and Tuxedo Mask.
"We need a plan." Sailor Mercury nodded.
"We came up with one before we left you go help Pluto Knight until we give you the signal." Sailor Pluto nodded and ran to help Pluto Knight. He and Shiro had fought their way across the large throne room and it appeared that Pluto Knight was losing...
Pluto Knight jumped to his left just in time to avoid Shiro's sword.
"You can't run forever Seth! Once you are dead I will have the Princess' heart and you will be naught but a memory!" Shiro brought his sword across and left a nasty cut in Pluto Knight's hand.
"Shiro! She had every right to banish you! You stalked, and threatened her! I am her guardian and you are nothing but an untrained rookie!" Pluto Knight brought his sword down for a fatal blow but Shiro avoided it easily.
"You are such a fool Seth. I trained with my mothers army! I was the one to lead the assault on Pluto! I am the one who shed the King Chronos' blood! I tore apart that palace looking for the Princess but I got there to late as she had already been assigned to the gates. I even looked for you dear friend, but you were fighting at the Palace on the Moon! How I longed to spill your blood then. I shall spill it today! Goodbye dear friend! Ahahaha!" Shiro swung his sword up and brought it down.
Pluto Knight tried to block but Shiro had knocked his sword away during his speech. Pluto Knight closed his eyes at the last moment before impact. The impact never came, he heard a grunt and a loud clang like metal on metal. He opened his eyes and jumped out of the way before the sword and staff broke contact with a pulse of energy.
"Sailor Pluto!" He was relieved she had saved him, and promised he'd return the favor. Shiro took a step away from Sailor Pluto as her Garnet Staff was now glowing a deep red color.
Sailor Pluto and almost been to late to save her Knight. He had tried to block with his arms, and Shiro's sword came down to fast to jump out of the way. Sailor Pluto had thrown her staff between them and there it hovered protecting Pluto Knight from the sword. She grabbed it and it started to glow, then Pluto Knight jumped out of the way before the two weapons had let out a deadly pulse of energy. "Sailor Pluto!" Pluto Knight sounded relieved.
"Princess how nice of you to join the fight. Would you care to join the winning side my sweet?" Shiro's overly sweet tone made Sailor Pluto want to vomit.
"I am already on the winning side Shiro! And on behalf of my planet I shall punish you for killing my father the past King, and for trying to kill the future rulers!" Sailor Pluto Pointed her staff at Shiro and he was sent flying across the room with a burst of the deadly red energy surrounding Sailor Pluto's Garnet Staff.
Across the room the remaining senshi formed a circle and held hands. They all closed their eyes and prepared to use the Sailor Planet Attack. It would be extremely powerful as Sailors Neptune, Uranus, and Chibi Moon were joining in. Sailor Moon nodded to Tuxedo Mask, his job was to get Sailor Pluto and Pluto Knight out of the way of the attack.
"Ready Senshi?" Sailor Moon looked around the circle and gave her daughter a small hand squeeze to let her know that everything would be alright and that she was to be unafraid for her friends sake. There was a collective nod around the circle and Sailor Moon closed her eyes.
"MERCURY STAR POWER!" Sailor Mercury was surrounded by a light blue aura.
"VENUS STAR POWER!" Sailor Venus was surrounded by a bright yellow aura.
"MARS STAR POWER!" Sailor Mars was surrounded by a strong red aura.
"JUPITER STAR POWER!" Sailor Jupiter was surrounded by a deep green aura.
"MOON COSMIC POWER!" Sailor Moon was surrounded by a bright pink aura.
"URANUS PLANET POWER!" Sailor Uranus was surrounded by a dark blue aura.
"NEPTUNE PLANET POWER!" Sailor Neptune was surrounded by an aquamarine aura.
"MOON PRISM POWER!" Sailor Chibi Moon was surrounded by a bright pink aura.
Sailor Moon turned to Tuxedo Mask. "NOW!" Tuxedo Mask ran over to the fight to warn Sailor Pluto and Pluto Knight.
Sailor Pluto fought with all of her strength. She and Shiro were almost evenly matched.
"Princess ditch Seth, he is a slacker. He couldn't even stand up to fight me after 10 minutes!" Sailor Pluto shoved the top of her Staff into Shiro's gut and he hunched over. She looked down at him with naught but pure anger in her eyes.
"You are vile Shiro! Not fit to walk this Earth!" Sailor Pluto would have kept verbally assaulting him till he stood up if Tuxedo Mask hadn't grabbed her arm.
"Come on Sailor Pluto, we need to move now!" He jerked his head towards the senshi's readying attack.
"Pluto Knight!" Sailor Pluto grabbed his arm as well as Tuxedo's and the three of them ran as far from Shiro as they could before they hit a wall about 30 feet away.
"SAILOR PLANET...ATTACK!!!" The combined powers of the senshi became a large ball of pure energy and it flew straight at Shiro. He didn't have a chance.
The light was so bright that Sailor Pluto, Pluto Knight, and Tuxedo Mask had to turn away from it. When the light died and the smoke somewhat cleared Sailor Pluto looked at the place where Shiro had been. She could see a blood red pulsing light in the smoke.
"He's still alive!" She shoved Tuxedo away from herself and Pluto Knight a split second before a ball of pure dark energy came at them. Sailor Pluto brought up her staff and held it between herself and the energy. She closed her eyes, the attack was too much.
Thoughts rushed through her head...she was going to drop the staff and be killed...her friends would die horrible painful deaths and it would be her fault...the future would be destroyed...Small Lady would cease to exist... Then she felt a pair of hands on top of her own on the staff. She turned and opened her eyes to see Pluto Knight standing there putting all of his power into saving her.
"Seth...?"
"Concentrate Setsuna!" Sailor Pluto put all she had into deflecting the blast back at Shiro or at least away from her friends.
Shiro's attack was deflected off of the Staff and into the wall opposite the senshi. Sailor Chibi Moon prayed her best friend could muster up more energy and defeat Shiro. She knew Sailor Pluto wouldn't let them into danger.
"Puu please have the strength to defeat him. Pluto Knight help her please.." Sailor Chibi Moon felt her power grow and she sent all of what she could muster to her friend to help her destroy the evil Prince.
Sailor Moon watched helplessly as Sailor Pluto and Pluto Knight fought Shiro. She felt something warm next to her and a soft white-pink light touched her vision. She looked down at Sailor Chibi Moon. Her tiara had disappeared and was replaced by the symbol of the crescent moon, her fuku had disappeared and was replaced by a dress that looked a lot like Princess Serenity's. Rini's arms were facing Sailor Pluto her hands straight, palms facing out. Serena realized what Rini was doing. She was giving Sailor Pluto her strength to fight Shiro. it took several minutes for the rest of the scouts to notice what was happening. Sailor Moon placed her hand on her daughter's shoulder and added her energy to the flow. After a moment the rest of the scouts did the same. They were careful not to put too much energy into Rini as it might hurt her. In turn they whispered to give her strength....
"Sailor Pluto..."
Suddenly Sailor Pluto could hear her friends giving her words of encouragement. She could feel their power in herself and Pluto Knight. She turned to Shiro.
"I am sorry, you could have been something so much better." She began to charge her Garnet Staff. Pluto Knight felt the power flowing from the scouts to Sailor Pluto and himself.
"Shiro, goodbye my old friend." He put his energy into the Garnet Staff as well. The staff began to glow and he and Sailor Pluto held it in the air and pointed it at Shiro's dark form. The chanted in unison as if they were not two separate people but as if they were one harmonic being.
"Planet Pluto give us your strength send this evil to the pit which it crawled out of. Send him back into oblivion where he can do harm to one. Pluto Gemini Star Destruction!"
Sailor Pluto and Pluto Knight held tightly to the staff as twin balls of energy shot out of it and went straight through Shiro several times, cleansing his spirit, before he turned into a cloud of mist.
After Shiro had been defeated Rini's fuku returned as did her tiara. Then she collapsed into her mothers arms.
"Oh Rini.." Serena hugged her daughter as all of their transformations wore off and they became normal teenagers. Serena looked over at Setsuna and Seth.
Seth was holding her close to him, bridal style. He walked over to the group of people followed closely by Darian who had done the same as the scouts had done. He had channeled his power into Pluto Knight.
"Thank you all." Seth held tighter to Setsuna as she spoke. "Small Lady, is she alright?" Setsuna shifted till she could see Rini's sleeping form. Serena had tears in her eye's. "Please don't cry Serena, she will be fine..."
After her attempt at calming down Serena, Setsuna too fell asleep from exhaustion. Seth smiled and kissed her forehead.
"If you are all ready to go home I have enough energy to get us back to Haruka and Michiru's apartment." Serena nodded, as did the rest of them.
"We're ready." Seth held out one of his hands and a small key appeared in it. Serena gasped.
"That's Rini's Crystal Key!" Seth nodded.
"Yes it is. I took it from the pile of dust that was General Sia." He held the key up and the crowd vanished, leaving the Negaverse empty once more.
Tokyo-Haruka and Michiru's Apartment:
The group appeared in the living room completely exhausted. Seth stood up and walked to Setsuna's room and put her in her bed.
"Goodnight setting sun." He placed a light kiss on her lips and went back into the living room.
Haruka walked over to Seth as he came out of the hallway. "Hey Seth,"
"Yes, Haruka?" Haruka took in a deep breath. and looked him in the eye.
"Seth, I'm sorry for being such a jerk." Seth smiled and gave Haruka a hearty handshake and a hug.
"Apology accepted Haruka. And I'm sorry for ever having given you a reason to distrust me."
Haruka smirked. "Heh."
Serena came over to them and gave Seth a big hug. "Thank you for all you did to help us." Seth grinned.
"Was nothing Princess Serenity."
Serena made a face at the formal title. "Just call me Serena ok Seth?"
"Alright."
Everyone said their goodbye's a headed home. Seth was getting ready to leave when Michiru insisted he stay the night on the couch so he could be here for Setsuna in the morning. Seth accepted and everyone fell asleep without much trouble.
Next Morning- Haruka and Michiru's Apartment:
Setsuna woke up and noticed she was lying in her bed. The last thing she remembered was fighting Shiro in the Negaverse then everything went dark. She heard someone knocking on her door and looked to make sure she was decent. Someone had changed her into her pajama's.
"Come in." She smiled as Seth opened the door.
"Morning Setsuna." Seth sat on her bed next to her and hugged her tight.
"Mornin' Seth." She nuzzled into his chest which she noticed a moment later was bare. She sat up a small blush playing across her cheeks.
"You know Setsuna you're really pretty when you blush like that." Setsuna gave him a playful punch on the arm.
"Well I see you're feeling better" Haruka was standing in the doorway in her jogging suit.
"Good morning Haruka." Haruka looked at the two sitting in bed and Setsuna noticed the grin creep onto her face a split second before she realized exactly what she and Seth must have looked like sitting on the bed like they were.
"Haruka!" Setsuna threw a pillow at her and she caught it and threw it back.
"Breakfast is ready. Come on, you two have guests and Hotaru is throwing food everywhere." With that said Haruka left the two sitting there.
"I should get dressed. And you should wash your hands and face." Setsuna handed Seth a towel and washrag and pointed him in the direction of the bathroom. The two got cleaned up and dressed and went out to the dining room for breakfast.
Rini waved hi from her seat next to Hotaru with a big stack of pancakes in front of her.
"Morning Setsuna, Seth." Setsuna went around the table and picked Rini up into a hug.
"Thank you Small Lady." Rini smiled when Setsuna sat her back down for her breakfast.
"Morning Setsuna." She turned to see all of her friends sitting in the living room talking and munching muffins. After breakfast they all sat around and got to know Seth. They all became fast friends.
After everyone left, Seth took Setsuna out onto her balcony and kissed her the way he had done before she had been assigned to the Gates of Time. They stood there as if time had frozen around them. After what felt like an eternity Seth stepped back and bent down on one knee and pulled out a small black velvet box and held it out to Setsuna.
"Setsuna, setting sun, will you marry me?" Setsuna was speechless so she simply nodded and Seth put the small ring on her finger. They held each other until the sun set. Setsuna finally found her voice.
"I love you Seth..."
"I love you too Setsuna..."
