Ch.15~ The Battle of Life and Death II

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

" It's like we were flying forever!"said Sailor Moon still flying in the endless black world. " We're not flying"said Seto. " Whatever,the point is that it is like we are wandering into nowhere!"snapped Sailor Moon frustrated. Then,her frustration calmed down. " I'm sorry. I'm just frustrated."said Sailor Moon apologizing. Seto nodded,meaning that he accepted her apology.

" Hey,I see light over there"said Honda pointing to the end of dark place. " Finally,"said Sailor Moon seeing the light too. When they approached the light,they had to shield their eyes of the brightness.

When Yami opened his eyes,he saw that they were in some kind of forest. 'How did a forest get here?'thought Yami taking cautious of his surroundings. Everyone else was thinking the same thing. " Welcome earthlings. I hope you enjoy your stay here"said a voice from above them. Everyone looked up to see Pearl and Emerues floating. Emerues had said those words.

" Yes,it's a pleasure for you to be here. For us to destroy you,that is"said Pearl starting to laugh. " Can it,old hag. Your screeching laughs are popping my eardrums"said Jupiter sarcastically glaring at Pearl. Pearl stopped adruptly and a vein popped on her head. " WHAT DID YOU CALL ME!!!!!!"shrilled Pearl indignantly. " An old hag. Got a problem with that"said Jupiter glaring with her patented' Don't mess with me or you'll die!' glare. " What did you think. My beauty is the most famous in Kingdom of Dark Illusion(Okay,I know it's a dumb name but I couldn't think of anything else. So PLEASE don't flame me. But you can review!) "bragged Pearl as her brother rolled his eyes.

" Idiots here must be blind then"said Jupiter speaking up. Pearl then,TRIED to stay cool. But she knew that she was badly insulted. "That's it! No one insults me and gets way with it"said Pearl fuming with rage. " White Jewels Exterminate!"cried Pearl calling her attack. Her attacks involved white pearls shooting at Jupiter. (Ironic,isn't it)

But surprisingly,Jupiter didn't even flinch. She stared coolly at the attacks coming towards are and didn't even tried to block it. " Blue Eyes,White Lightning!"cried a voice. (Guess who it is.) Then, a dragon cry could be heard and a white powerful blast hit contact with the enemy's. Causing smoke in the air.

When the smoke was cleared,there standing was a Blue Eyes White Dragon with its master. it was none other than the high priest in Ancient Egypt,Seto Kaiba. The two enemies stared at the mighty beast and astonish that it was summoned. " When did ya summoned your Blue Eyes?"asked Jou. " I muttered the incantation under my breath. We had practiced that last week."said Seto stating the obvious. " Oh yeah,"said Jou sheepishly.

" Makota! What were you thinking! You had the chance to call on an attack!"said Seto in a stern tone. " I know,"said Jupiter simply. " If you knew then,WHY DIDN'T CALL ON AN ATTACK!!!!!!!!!!"cried Seto. Everyone winced. Even Blue Eyes crouched down. " I knew that you'll save me. And besides,you need to work on your attacks here anyway"said Jupiter. Seto shot her a 'I'll-deal-with-you-later-and-don't-think-you're-getting-out-of- this-mess'look. Jupiter justed shrugged. "Why couldn't you keep your mouth shut? But you did stat the truth,she looks like a slut"said Seto agreeing with Makota. " Don't think your boyfriend is going to help you defeat me. That was only a small amount of my powers!"said Pearl hotly.

Jupiter blushed a little. Seto kepted his head low so his blush won't be seen. Of course,they are a couple but they haven't announce to the others that they are a couple yet. This was defintely not the right time.

Everyone else besides the evil people noticed that they were blushing and they had a sneaky suspision that Seto and Makota liked each other. " We'll still beat you,even if that was only a small amount of your powers. "said Sailor Moon confintely. " That's right. We can still outnumber you"said Yami.

" You're just talk. I'll show you real power"said Jupiter conjuring up a lightning attack. " Jupiter Rose Slash!" cried Jupiter as her rose sucessfully scratched Pearl on the face. " Ahhh! my beautiful face! You're going to pay!"cried Pearl putting her hand over her wound. " Heartbreak Pearl Pierce!" (If you don't know,pearl is the birthstone of June and in June,people have a lot of weddings then. So since she's evil,it's a heartbreak for them. I know,it's VERY creative!)

" You are being an annoyance to me. Shadow Chain!"cried Seto. He raised his hand and a stone tablet appeared with the trap card,Shadow Chain ativated. Then,chains appeared and it drained her energy. The chains disappeared and Pearl limped up. " You haven't won yet. Oh,great Dark Illusion Kingdom,lend me your powers"cried Pearl. Suddenly out of nowhere,a black flash came from the air above and it shot pearl. It gave her back her energy since she looked freshed up now.(I know that it's a corny line but I couldn't think of anything else.)

" I told you that you haven't won yet,Jupiter"said Pearl. " Don't celebrate yet"said Jupiter. But she was doubting her word. seto knew that. He gave Jupiter a reassuring look. She felt better by this.

An idea struck her. She looked at her surroundings and understood. " Oh,we will win,Pearl."said Jupiter. seto didn't understand what she was saying.

'Seto,do you hear me?'said Jupiter sending Seto a telepathic message. 'Loud and clear'replyed Seto. ' Look at our suroundings. It's a forest. If you haven't notice but my name means'the beauty of nature' and the surroundings can give me a boost on my powers. I can start by flashing thunder and stuff like that. You can use your lightning element to help'explained Jupiter. Seto mentally nodded.

" Time to die,Pearl"said Jupiter. 'Oh powerful god of Jupiter,please assit me and bring peace to the world. In the name of the planet of Jupiter,JUPITER ETERNAL POWER!'thought Jupiter as she summoned all of her powers. She felt the powers of her friends giving her support and never giving up. It was strange but she can hear her dead parents and her parents from the Siver Millennium telling her that they will help her no matter what. She felt new powers flowing her in her veins. "JUPITER ETERNAL POWER!"cried Jupiter as her body exploded with power. The forest was assiting her. They were coming charge to Pearl.

Emerues was fighting with Mars and Bakura.Sailor Moon and Yami was helping too. The others were trying to find the next place where they're going to go. But all of them stopped because of the awesome power of lightning came thundering their way,which was cause by Seto. His element back in Ancient Egypt was thunder and lightning.

Next,the forest's branches were like growing nad they grabbed onto to pearl. " Let go of me!"cried Pearl as her waist was wrapped by strong trunks. Jupiter's aura was showing and she had her hand raised up into the sky. A lot of power were coming out of her. Then two lightning strikes came down on Pearl. One was blue and the other one was green. Then, a third lightning came crashing on Pearl. It was from Blue Eyes. Three is always better than two.

" Ahhhh!"cried Pearl as she got struck by lightning. When the horrible treatment was over she was a pile of dirty pearls. The branches around the pile formed over it and it formed a small tree. Trapping her from ever coming back.

" No!"cried Emerues as he saw his very own sister getting destroyed. " It's your turn,Emerues. You are not getting away now"said Jupiter. Emerues gritted his teeth. " Next time we meet,it shall be the end for you"said Emerues disappearing. " That was over,what a relief"said Saturn sighing. Because of all of the power that Jupiter sent out of her,she was trying not to stumbled over. But she did. It made a small thump on the ground. (I'm NOT saying she is HEAVY or something. Everyone can do that. Jupiter's light,okay)

" Makota!"cried Seto noticing Jupiter collasped. " Makota!"cried everyone else worriedly. Seto rushed over to her and lifted her up gently in his arms. " Makota,are you alright?"asked Seto. " I'm fine,"said Jupiter. " Just a little overload". Seto was still unconvinced. " I'm fine. Really!"said Jupiter. " If you say so"said Seto.

" I was so worry about you"whispered Seto in her ears so the others won't hear. He gave her quick,light kiss on her neck. It was so light that Jupiter thought that it was a wind making pleasurable shivers down her spine.Only Blue Eyes saw. He made a small roar. (He's from the Shadow Realm,k. He's the same Blue Eyes that Seto used back in Ancient Times) The others came over.

" I'm fine,"said Jupiter repeating what she had said. " That was some power"said Malik making a whistle. Mercury elbowed him. " It must had been the surroundings that had gave me the power boost. But I'll live. "said Jupiter. After awhile,a white hole with a crystal red dot in the middle appeared. " What is it?"said Venus. Her question was answered quickly. A strong wind *pushed* all of them into the white hole. Blue Eyes got back to the Shadow Realm.

~~~~~~~~~Different Location Now~~~~~~~~~~~

" Ugh! My head hurts"said Jupiter. Everyone else got up then. This time,they were in a icy place with glaciers and icebergs. " This certainly is different'said Neptune. " All of these surroundings are like what our elements are"said Mercury observing it." Last time,it was a forest and that's Jupiter's element".

Everyone noticed also. " But........the only ones who has the ice element is....."said Marik trailed on. " Is us"said Mercury and Malik. " We're up next,then"said Malik. Mercury nodded.

" Very clever. Took you long enough to figure it out"said Emerues appearing in front of Malik. Before anyone could do anything,Emerues blasted Malik on a iceberg. " Arg!"grunted Malik. The hit wasn't hard but since he was bard chested. The iceberg was cold. But it wasn't that cold since he had training with ice before the battle.

" Malik!"cried everyone concernly. Especially Mercury. " I'm fine!"called Malik back. They sighed with relief. " You're going to pay for that,Emerues!"cried Malik balancing himself. He muttered a strong ice spell from the egyptian incantations and a big blizzard appeared. It blasted Emerues away. Making HIM hit the iceberg. " More is coming"said Malik holding his Millennium Rod. The light on the Millennium symbol glowed. He floated over to where Emerues was. he pinned him to the iceberg with his Millennium Rod.

" Tell me what's the ppurpose of Valsoul's doing"said Malik pointing his Millennium Rod threatningly to Emerues. Emerues spat at him. " I'll rather die!"he said. " You're asking for it"said Malik working his Millennium Rod. " Malik! NO!"cried a voice behind him. It was Mercury. " Why not?"asked Malik. WhenMalik was caught off gaurd. Emerues made the chance to shoot a black energy ball at Malik. Mercury's eyes widen and hurried over.Malik,MOVE!"cried Mercury pushing Malik out of the way. The energy ball hit her instead!

" Ami!"cried Malik in horror. He was there,watching his only love dying. And he was doing nothing. Mercry got blasted and lying on a glacier. " Ami!"cried everyone excet Malik and Emerues. They tried to go furthur but was blocked by an invisible wall. Emerues covered it so the others couldn't see what was going on.

Malik rushed over to her and gathered her up in his arms. He was trying to shake her awake. " Ami,Ami,please wake up! You can't die. I need you. Don't leave me. I love you"said Malik pulling her against him and he was silently crying. He had nevered cry before. Not even when his father died.

" Aw,too bad! She's dead. Now fight me like a man"taunted Emerues. Malik's eyes blazed in fire. " I'm going to kill you! I don't care how I do it. But you are goignt o die! You killed Ami. Curse you"said Malik in a dangerous voice. He cursed some more in Egyptian. He slowly layed Mercury on the ice.

" Oh,I killed her. Too bad. All of you killed my sister! I'm going to kill you one by one"said Emerues. Malik growled and took out his Millennium Rod. " Malik,"whispered hoarse voice. He was not believing what he was hearing. Could Ami be.....? He turned around and saw Mercury trying to sit up. He rushed over to help her.

" Ami,you're alive!"said Malik joyfully. He huged her against him. " I don't die that easily. beat him for me,Malik"said Mercury looking into Malik's eyes," I love you". " I love you,too"whispered Malik to her. He kissed her gently on the lips. Then he went on with the battle.

" How can you be alive?!"cried Emerues enraged. " I had used a powerful blast on you." " Truth be told. You did. But I'm a senshi. I'm protected my the planet Mercury. I'm not going to die until I'm destined to yet"said Mercury.

" No matter. I'm going to kill your boyfriend anyway"said Emerues using his attacks. Malik deflected it with his Millennium Item. He sent a strong blast to Emerues. " I should had used this earlier"said Malik as his hand glowed. A stone tablet appeared above them and a giant gold sphere appeared. The Wing Dragon of Ra was inside!

" What's that suppose to do"said Emerues sneering at the sphere. Malik smirked. " Watch and learn"said Malik. He said the incantation and the sphere glowed. The Wing Dragon of Ra emerged out of it.

" Meet one of the Egyptian monsters. The Wing Dragon of Ra. He is known for the king."said Malik as Ra flapping its great wings. " Ra,obliterate him! Attack!"cried Malik. Ra opened his mouth and a gigantic energy blast came out. Malik boosted up the power with his ice and Millennium powers. Mercury could only watched in awe.

" Ahhhh!"cried Emerues. Then,when it over,he was still standing. " Ha! I knew that you're power was worthless"said Emerues sneering. 'How can that be? My two powers combined with Ra's should had destroy him.'thought Malik. " Now prepare to die. Starting with the mercurian princess"said Emerues flying up and shooting a blast from the air. When he was going to shoot,everyone heard a crack. The another one. " What's that sound?"asked Malik. He got his answer quick.

It was Emerues! " What! What's happenning to---------"Emerues started to say but he didn't get to finish it. His body cracked and soon exploded. His dust was being blown away by the wind.

The Wing Dragon Ra disappeared. Malik crashed onto teh floor. " I did it"said Malik quietly. " *We* did it,Malik"said Mercury smiling down at him. All of a sudden,Mercury was in a bone crushing hug. " I thought you were gone"whispered Malik in her neck. " I'm still alive,aren't I. I'll be okay"said Mercury.

Then after a while,their moment together was interupted. The invisible wall was destroyed. Everyone behind the wall was fighting with Emerues' minions. They were still fighting with a few of them. " Well,it's my turn to help"said Mercury. She moved her hand swiftly and a cold,harsh wind knocked the minions into the icy cold water. Mercury moved the floating iceberg above where the minions had fell. They won't be able to get out now.

" Ami! Malik!"cried everyone. " We're fine"said Malik. " We killed Emerues. He's gone"said Mercury. " That's another relief"said Anzu. Like before,a white hole appeared and this time,they didn't want to be pulled in. They walked directly in there. The hole closed up behind them.

~~~~~~~~~Valsoul's Chambers~~~~~~~~~

Valsoul slammed his fist down onto the table." What! Pearl and Emerues are both dead! I've had enoughed. Send Topazia. it's her turn to finish off the Sailor Senshis and the Pharoah and his followers!"cried Valsoul looking enraged. The servant quickly nodded and scampered out. he didn't want to face Valsoul's rage.

" You're going to pay. You four will die soon!"cried Valsoul as the picture of Yami,Usagi,Rini,& Helious appeared. He then,crushed the pictures and went to the late Queen Serenity's bedside. " You're daughter and grandaughter and their friends won't get away,Serenity. I will kill them and get what was rightfully mine"said Valsoul venomly.
