^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
Usagi: This is going to be so much fun!
Ami: It costs a lot of money also though.
Minako and Usagi: SO?
Makoto: I think it'll be great exercise to just go out into the wilderness for 2 weeks.
Usagi: I think it'll be great to get away from our parents!
Niborsa: You also think it's great to be there with Seiya.
Usagi: **blush** That too!
Minako: **waves hand to dismiss it** Just give up on Usagi, her brain is on boys and food.
Niborsa, Ami, and Makoto: LIKE YOU'RE THE ONE TO TALK!
Minako: Hee hee hee.
The countdown was on until the senior fieldtrip to the mountains. Since it was just now turning fall their teachers advised them to bring warm clothes. Niborsa, Usagi, Minako, Makoto, and Ami were at Makoto's house making preparations for what to bring and what was needed. (Rei's school isn't going, that's why she isn't there)
Usagi: OH! I have to bring my bunny! **Hugs stuffed animal**
Minako: I AGREE!
Niborsa: You should also bring your henshin yo tiaras and locket.
Minako and Usagi: Nani? For what?
Minna: WHAT DO YOU MEAN 'FOR WHAT'?!
Chapter 22: 'You'll Always Be In My Heart'
Haruka looked out her bedroom window, it was pouring down outside. All that was on her mind was that Shi Selin guy and how he dared stand up to her, and how he treated her little kitten. He treated Usagi like, like she belonged to him! Thank Kami-sama she doesn't! At least I can trust Seiya. Haruka thought angry with Shi, she pounded her fist on the windowpane and shook her head sadly.
Michiru: **Puts a hand on Haruka's shoulder** Your going to break the poor window Haruka.
Haruka: **Turns around** Michiru.
Michiru: **sits down next to Haruka** Tell me what's wrong.
Haruka: **sighs** Shi Selin.
Michiru: You're afraid he'll hurt Usagi?
Haruka: **nods**
Michiru: You know Seiya will be with her right? He'll protect her; he hates Selin more than you probably do.
Haruka: **Whispers** It's still not enough, it's still not enough.
_*_*_*_
(Dark World)
Quake: The school trip…Usagi and I are partners, we'll have to share a cabin together with another 'couple.' I hope its not that damned Seiya! He'll ruin everything! With Usagi and I alone I'll be able to lure her to the Dark World and she'll see how better off she is with just me, and forget about Kou!
Huntress watched her brother from the corner; she shook her head sadly. It had only been a month since Quake was assigned to kill the senshi, and since the beginning he was easily distracted. She walked up to him without making a sound.
Quake: **still looking forward** Huntress.
Huntress: You're slacking off.
Quake: I am not!
Huntress: Oh, then tell me who is your next victim?
Quake: **hesitates** Just mind your own business Huntress.
Huntress: Fine! I've tried to help you countless times, you don't even try to listen to your big sister. If you have a plan, go through with it! Please Quake; just promise me you'll concentrate on your mission.
Quake: Go away!
Huntress stared at her younger sibling before storming off. Quake shook his head sadly and stared at the magical reflection of Usagi in a pot of water.
Quake: I'm sorry sis…but you'll understand after you see her, after I bring her to the Dark World, you'll see…
_*_*_*_
(Next Day-School)
They were still continuing the marriage project. Usagi was a rising actress who made a good sum of money while her (shudder) husband was a scientist who only had one disability at the time and that was a broken thumb.
Seiya was a college professor while his wife Niborsa was an artist. Seiya wasn't as upset about Usagi and Shi being together, but he still was upset. Although yesterday, his anger had risen to a new level when he heard of the first pregnant couple. He didn't know the two students but when it donned on him that Usagi could have a family with him…all he was doing now was watching Shi, glaring at Shi
Seiya: It wouldn't be to bad if Shi were to accidentally fall off the school roof would it?
Seiya looked outside the window that was on the opposite side of the room. If he looked closely and squinted he was for sure he could make out a human outline sitting on one of the branches. Seiya continued to watch the figure without blinking, when he did he smiled to himself.
Seiya: **whispers** Haruka.
Haruka was still suspicious about Shi Selin and decided it would be best if she were to keep an eye on him so if she saw Shi trying to do anything to hurt her poor kitten, she could make him pay right on the spot. Haruka smirked when she saw Seiya grinning at her.
Haruka: So he's not a complete idiot after all.
The sandy haired blonde let her eyes wander around the room, she looked at the substitute teacher who was 'supposedly' reading the newspaper, but behind that she spied a dirty magazine.
Haruka: **rolls eyes** Teachers these days.
Haruka returned her gaze back to the bunny and Shi, she nearly fell out of her tree when she saw Shi smirking at her, his eyes locked with her. Gritting her teeth she stared back.
Haruka: Him! I'm hidden well behind this tree's leaves. No normal human should be able to see me! Gr…
Haruka glared at him while he stared at her with laughing eyes. Neither one wanted to end this staring contest. Haruka's eyes widened when she heard a voice in her head.
Quake: **in Haruka's head** You do not need to sit here and baby-sit the bunny, she's fine. Now why don't you go run along and play dress up.
Haruka: ** gasps and holds onto tree trunk** Nani? Was…was he just in my head?
The bell rang dismissing the students to lunch; Haruka looked at Shi for a mere second then jumped down from the tree.
_*_*_*_
(Outer Senshi Apartment)
Haruka ran into the apartment and slammed the door behind her. Setsuna peeped out from inside the computer room and gave Haruka a puzzled look.
Setsuna: ne Haruka, what's the rush?
Haruka: There is definitely something up with that Shi Selin guy.
Michiru: **walks in from the kitchen cleaning a cup** Haruka, where have you been?
Haruka: Michiru, I was at Juuban High. I was watching Usagi and that guy, Shi. And I know I was hidden because it took even Seiya a while to find me. But-but he was staring right at me! Then I could have sworn I heard his voice in my head. He told me to stop watching Usagi.
Setsuna: Are you all most positive he was in your head?
Haruka: Yes damn it! I could hear him loud and clear!
Michiru: Is there a possibility that Shi Selin is not human?
Setsuna: **shrugs** You never know. He could have just been from a different planet. He could have been exiled and came here, or he may be gifted.
Haruka: Gif…ted?
Setsuna: Hai! Some humans have special gifts and don't even have to be a priestess or a warrior. They could just be common people but they can see into the future through dreams, or they have the ability to see the dead, or even hear people's thoughts.
Michiru: Do you know how many people-on Earth- have this gift?
Setsuna: **nods** Yes, only 103 out of the billions of people. And usually people who are gifted are so terrified they don't tell anyone about the strange things that happen, and usually try their best to ignore it.
Haruka: Shi can be a demon, an exiled criminal, gifted, or the mailman-"
Michiru: **raises eyebrow** The mailman?
Haruka: I don't care who he is! All I know is that he can't be trusted.
Michiru: So what do you want to do?
Haruka: Follow him.
_*_*_*_*_
(After School-The Streets)
Shi was walking around the block casually recalling the day's events. Life was good, everything was going well, he got time with Usagi, and he was almost positive he scared that short haired hot head with his little mind treat, no way she would come to interfere with him and Usagi again. He stopped and looked down at his shoes, there was a small gray rock at his feet. Smirking he picked it up and squeezed it in his right hand. A red glow began to form around that hand and when he opened it, the rock was now in a different shape, a shape that reflected the shape of a…heart.
Shi: Just wait little bunny…during our little trip up the mountains, I'll persuade you that life is better in the Dark World, you'll see.
What Shi did not know was that three young women were watching his every mouth with suspicion.
Haruka: Is it normal for a boy to make a rock look like a stone?!
Michiru: **Watching Shi carefully** No…no it isn't.
Setsuna: **thoughtfully** What could he be?
Haruka: I'm guessing he's not from Earth.
Michiru: Maybe he's not even from this Galaxy.
While the warriors were discussing the possibilities Shi continued his walk, this time he decided it was time to find a victim. Turning down the corner he was pleased to see it was deserted. With his hands in his pockets he began to walk down the block slowly until something bumped into him. He looked down and saw a little kid-maybe 5 years old-rubbing his head.
Kid: Sorree mister.
The kid planned on going on his way but Shi was different plans, he stretched out one long arm blocking the kid's path.
Kid: Um…mister…
Shi: **smirks** Stay a while won't you?
Kid: I really have to go ho-
The child didn't get a chance to finish his sentence because before him Shi transformed into Quake and in his hand was the Crystal. With a gasp the kid began to inch backwards.
Quake: Come on…let's play a game. **Chants spell**
The kid let out an ear-piercing cry before he fell to the powers of the Dark Moon Crystal. Haruka, Michiru, and Setsuna heard it from a block away. Without hesitation they transformed.
"Uranus Planet Power…"
"Neptune Planet Power…"
"Pluto Planet Power…"
"…MAKE UP!"
???: MATTE!
The three senshi whirled around and saw a raven-haired teenager.
Pluto: Hotaru-chan?
Hotaru: **whines** Why did you leave without me? I'm a Sailor Senshi too; it's my job to protect Earth too.
Pluto: **smiles** You're right, now henshin yo!
"Saturn Planet Power…MAKE UP!"
The four Outer Senshi ran as fast as they could to the crime scene, screeching to a halt the saw Quake hovering over a little body. Saturn was the first to react. Raising her staff high over her head she brought it down on Quake's back.
The young man stumbled before whirling around glaring at his attacker. He looked her up and down before speaking.
Quake: So…there are little girls running around in tutu too (that sounds funny!) thinking they are Earth's champions.
Uranus: If you give in we won't go as hard on you. **Cracks knuckles**
Quake: This boy is worth nothing to me, he is not a descendent of the Moon Kingdom. Do you have a pet? Well I have thousands of pets, and like all pets my pets get hungry. I think this little boy will be enough of an appetizer don't you?
Saturn: NO!
With a flick of his wrists a porthole formed just before them, out came two blue lizard-looking creatures.
Quake: I would like you four to meet my pets, they are called Devil Cupids…they haven't eaten in a while…hey maybe they can have you for the main course, the small one might not fill them up but it'll have to do. Goodbye!
And he was gone just as quick as he had come leaving the four girls to ward off his hungry 'pets'.
Neptune: They look mad.
Uranus: More like hungry!
Sailor Pluto knocked one down using her staff, she glared at the other one who was slowly making his way to the innocent child.
Pluto: Do the best you can to ward them off.
Uranus: **smirks** Gotcha!
The one Devil Cupid who Pluto had just knocked down was trying to get back up, in one swift movement Sailor Uranus's foot met the creature's head, sending it back down to the ground.
NEPTUNE SHINE AQUA MIRROR
The attack hit the Devil Cupid who was advancing on the kid head on but it didn't seem to have any effect what so ever on the monster, it just kept walking as if the attack never touched him.
Neptune: Nani?
Uranus: Let me try!
URANUS SPACE SWORD BLASTER
Uranus knew the sword HAD to cut deep into the monster but it didn't, in fact the sword didn't even sink into the creature's skin, in fact it seemed as if the Devil Cupid had some sort of protective shell around it. The attack rebounded sending Uranus flying backwards.
The Devil Cupid that was on the ground jumped up and held Pluto so she couldn't move or breathe. The other Devil Cupid who had just hurled Uranus looked at the two remaining senshi, his eyes blazing. Uranus came running at him with her sword, it's tip pointed at the monsters throat. The monster opened his mouth and ear-shattering vibrations came out from it. Uranus stopped and dropped her pressure sword to cover her ears. Saturn struggled to stand up but she managed.
SILENT WALL
The protective wall boxed in all the senshi; even Pluto but it did not last more than 10 mere seconds. All the senshi were on the ground trying to cover their ears to stop the horrible sound.
???: ** In Senshi's head** Senshi…please, repeat after me. …Peaceful Power…Make UP!
Neptune: Nani? Was…was that Serenity-sama?
Pluto: Hai!
Uranus: There is no time to waste!
Senshi: Hai!
SATURN PEACEFUL POWER…
URANUS PEACEFUL POWER…
PLUTO PEACEFUL POWER…
NEPTUNE PEACEFUL POWR…
…MAKE UP!
There was a bright yellow light that blinded everything within 2 miles. The tiara disappeared on all of the senshi leaving their planet marks visible. Their mini skirts became lightly transparent but the color of the skirt was still there and the skirt was not completely transparent. Behind them trailed a long semi-transparent bow that was the color of their skirts.
When the light disappeared the two devil cupids were lying on the ground covering their eyes. When they could finally see again they blinked looking at the new warriors in front of them. They both jumped up and lunged at the senshi.
Pluto: **whispering** Banshee Scream!
A high pitched screech filled the air throwing the monsters back. The unintelligent creatures leaped up again and began to run at the four stronger senshi yet again.
Saturn: Reaper's Claw!
With a swing of her staff imaginary claws cut through the Devil Cupids skin. They stumbled but kept their balance.
Pluto: Uranus! Neptune! Finish them off!
Neptune: Desert Drought!
Water sprinkled on her from above before coming crashing down and raging on wildly towards its prey.
Uranus: Dove's Kiss!
She lifted her arms to the sky as she concentrated hard, within seconds a strong gust of wind came mixed in with lightning aimed at the two weak creatures. Once the electrifying wind picked up the two and dropped their charred bodies, the Senshi began to look closely at the different outfit they were now wearing.
Saturn: **whispers** Peaceful Power? What is this?
Pluto: The second evolution.
Uranus: I feel…stronger almost.
Neptune: Was these new powers suppose to prepare us for the final battle?
Uranus: **looks up at sky** Does this mean…the final battle is close?
_*_*_*_*_
(One Week later-Usagi's Room)
Usagi: Wah! Gotta pack, gotta pack!
The day had finally come, the day of the field trip…and Usagi was ready!
Luna: **yawns** Why didn't you pack all of this junk last night? '
Usagi: **frowns** I was playing video games with Shingo.
Luna: Very mature, very responsible!
Usagi: Oh hush up and tell me where my toothbrush is.
Luna: Check under your mattress.
Usagi: Oh Luna, now why would-oh…okay now that I have my toothbrush is that everything?
Luna: Sweaters? Blanket? Brush?
Usagi: Check, check, check!
Luna: Homework?
Usagi: …no check! Wahhhhhhh! Where'd I put it? Aha…how'd it get in my shoebox?
Luna: **shrugs** How'd your toothbrush get under your mattress?
Usagi: **kisses Luna on the head** I gotta go to school now, see ya in two weeks Luna, ja!
Luna: Sayonara Usagi-chan!
_*_*_*_
(Outside Juuban High)
Teacher: QUIET! Now when you get onto that bus I want you all to behave, and the other teachers and I have decided that on the way going to the mountains and coming back you are to sit with your 'spouse'-no stop the complaining, it won't be that hard! Single file line!
The students obeyed and got onto the bus, some were mad that they had to sit by their pretend spouse for half an hour instead of goofing off with friends, others just smiled shyly and kept quiet. Of course Seiya picked a seat right across from Usagi and HIM glaring at HIM every 20 seconds while HE just smiled back like nothing was out of the ordinary.
Usagi: This is going to be so much fun! Don't you think so Shi-kun?
Shi: **nods** Yeah…a blast.
Niborsa: Ohohohoho! Just think of all the fun we'll have…that is if I can get Seiya to FOCUS! **Jabs Seiya in the ribs**
Seiya: Ow! Must you be so violent? **Glares at Niborsa**
*_*_*_*
(Resort)
Miyo-sensei: All right, listen up, listen up! Okay, now two couples per cabin each cabin has two bedrooms with 2 beds in each room and a small kitchen, yes yes; we expect each and every one of you to prepare a meal. If you get sick or anything like that, the nurse is in the cabin left to the Hall, we will meet in the hall every other day to get your assignments and check up on your progress, now be the nice teachers we are we've decided to let you and your spouse chose the other couple you want to share a cabin with.
Niborsa: Well if I know you Seiya you'd want to share with Usagi to keep her safe from Shi right?
Seiya: **blush** I don't trust him.
Niborsa: But of course.
_*_*_*_
(One Week Later)
So far everything was going great, the assignments were easy, the 'couples' had to learn how to manage during hard times like money problems. Seiya watched Shi with a close eye and Shi made sure he was with Usagi always, just to show Seiya he wasn't scared of him. And of course Usagi had no idea what was going on.
During the late hours of the night Shi would have to sneak away from the room he shared with Seiya to go back to the Dark World, and there he had to put the final touches to his brilliant plan.
Shi: Tomorrow…tomorrow while we get our free time I'll take her into those woods to just talk, then I'll explain to her what good she'd do working beside me, then Seiya will just be a memory, a pathetic memory.
The next day around noon Niborsa was helping Seiya prepare lunch while Usagi just lounged around. Shi crept past Seiya and Niborsa and to Usagi who was lying on the couch.
Shi: **whispers** Usagi…Usagi…
Usagi: **sits up and smiles** Konnichiwa Shi-kun.
Shi: **smiles** Konnichiwa. Say, Usagi we don't have anything to do, lets go take a walk, what do you say?
Usagi: Um…okay, sure why not?
He led her out the cabin with Seiya noticing and led her past the Hall and Nurse's Office, that was when Usagi been to wonder where they were going.
Usagi: Ne Shi-kun…where are we going?
Shi: Ah don't worry. I just thought it'd be nice to look around the woods for a while.
Usagi: The woods? Demo…demo Shi-kun! It's cold up here, what if we get lost; those woods look pretty deep.
Shi: **smiles** What, you don't trust me.
Usagi: No it's not that…it's just that-
Shi: Well then come on. **Takes Usagi's arm**
Usagi: All right but 20 minutes at the most.
Shi: **smiles** That's more than enough time.
After a few minutes they came to a little section of the woods where the leaves were frozen icicles and a frozen pound was just beyond that. Usagi looked around in awe then sat down on a fallen tree trunk.
Usagi: It's just like a winter wonderland.
Shi: I guess it is pretty. **Sits down next to Usagi** Usagi I have something to tell you.
Usagi: Nani?
Shi: Well ya see…I'm not really from Denmark.
Usagi: **looks puzzled** Nani?
Shi: Hai, I come somewhere really far away-not from this planet even, do you believe me?
Usagi: **Nods** Yes I believe you. If you're not from Earth then what planet are you from? Sakura? Mars? Venus? Uranus? Kinomoku?
Shi looked at Usagi strangely. Was Usagi Tsukino really just an average girl? How could she believe he was from another planet? And how did she know all these other planet's names that weren't even in the same Galaxy?
Shi: **shakes head** No, known of those planets. I come from a planet that's just behind the moon; the moon hides it from the light. Usagi I've never met anyone like you, it's amazing what kind of person you are. I want you to come with me; my queen would love you.
Usagi: I-I can't Shi, Earth needs me too much, this is m home, and this is where I plan to grow old.
Shi: No Usagi! You have to come with me; I'll give you riches, and much more joy than that Seiya can!
Usagi: Seiya? What do you mean? Shi-kun I love Seiya with all my heart, no riches could make me not love him.
Shi: **starts to glow red** But Usagi! You will love it there, everyone will love you! You'll never be sad, angry, you'll never be harmed, you'll never cry, you'll spend your days in paradise! Don't you want that?
Usagi: **shakes head** Everyone needs to experience pain, and sadness…it's how we humans are. I'm sorry Shi-kun demo this is where I belong; I have to stay with my friends and Seiya. I need them.
Shi: **cries out in frustration** No! You don't need Earth! You don't need pain! AND YOU DON'T NEED SEIYA!!! **Grabs Usagi around the waist and they are transported somewhere**
_*_*_*_
(Usagi's Cabin)
Seiya dropped the wooden spoon in the big pot of soup. His eyes widened in horror as he stepped away from Niborsa and the stove.
Niborsa: Seiya? Seiya what's wrong?
Seiya: Usagi…she's gone! I can't find Usagi, she's missing!
Niborsa: What do you mean she's missing? She's taking a nap on the-she's not there!
Seiya: **runs and checks the two rooms** And Selin isn't here either! **Frowns** I bet you he took her!
Niborsa: What if she just went out to find Minako and the other girls?
Seiya: **yells** USAGI WOULD NOT LEAVE US WITH A WORD! YOU KNOW SHE WOULDN'T! THAT'S NOT AT ALL LIKE HER! GO FIND THE OTHERS, WERE GOING ON A HUNT!
Niborsa: Shouldn't we tell one of the teachers?
Seiya: No…I have a feeling it's something bigger then him stealing Usagi. It's something much more bigger!
_*_*_*_
(???)
Usagi opened her eyes and saw she wasn't anywhere near the resort. She was standing against a white wall with her hands chained to it. She struggled against the chains but the more she pulled the tighter the chains got around her wrists.
Usagi: Where am I? What happened?
Usagi looked around and saw she was in a palace of some sort. The room she was in was huge and painted white. It was very warm and bright. Two winding staircases were before her and a giant chandelier above her.
???: You're finally up my dear.
Usagi looked around and before her eyes appeared Quake. Her eyes widened and she began to try and kick at him.
Quake: Relax darling. It's only me. **Changes back to Shi** See, there is nothing to worry about.
Usagi: **Whispers** Where are we? Does he know who I am? Is that why he kidnapped me? I can't believe he could deceive me like that. Shi is…Quake!
Shi: **Runs a hand through Usagi's hair** Do you like it? I made it just last week. It's where were going to get married. You refused to come back with me my little bunny but I know what good living with me and serving my queen will do for you. Seiya doesn't deserve you! He doesn't appreciate you, only I can treat you like the princess you really are. Earth can survive without you, one person won't change the fate of the world. Usagi…you belong with me!
Usagi: NO! No Shi this is all wrong! No! No! No! NO! I need to be on Earth and I need to be with Seiya! I refuse to marry you!
Shi: Why Usagi? Why won't you be mine? Seiya is just using you; you don't deserve that Usagi! No one on Earth appreciates you, only I know what you mean, only I know that you're the only perfect person in the Galaxy! And only I can make you happy!
_*_*_*_
(Outside Usagi's Cabin)
All nine friends gathered outside in the cold to discuss the disappearance of the bunny.
Minako: **Bits on her nails** Where could she be?
Ami: What would Shi Selin want with Usagi anyway?
Seiya screamed in held his head in pain. He fell to one knee, still holding his aching head.
Yaten: Seiya? Seiya what's wrong?
Seiya: I **gasp** know where…**gasp** I know where Usagi is!
Makoto: Where?
Before Seiya could answer the group was bathed in a warm light, then they disappeared.
_*_*_*_
(Usagi and Shi)
Before the two appeared nine Sailor Senshi. Usagi smiled and called out their names in happiness.
Usagi: Fighter! Maker! Healer! Venus! Jupiter! Mercury! Destiny! Magic! Secret Star!
Shi gritted his teeth and scowled. There was no way possible they found him, this castle was just created and was floating in the middle of no where. It didn't matter now, he wasn't about to give Usagi up! He let out a growl as he changed into Quake with a long, thin blade in hand.
Quake: No! You will not take away from me! Usagi Tsukino is mine!
He tried to strike Fighter but she dodged the sword just in case. Sailor Venus was ready for Quake now.
Venus: Usagi is our friend! We won't let a monster like you take her from us!
VENUS ANGRY CUPIDS!
Quake wasn't fast enough and had to face the wrath of Venus. Shaking slightly he turned his attention to Venus.
Quake: YOU CAN'T HAVE HER! **Runs at Venus with sword**
Sailor Star Healer grabbed Venus and ran to safety while Star Maker attacked Quake from behind.
STAR GENTLE UTERUS!
While the senshi attacked and dodged the insane Quake Fighter tried to get Usagi from the chains.
Usagi: **Crying** Seiya, Seiya I'm so glad to see you! Shi-Shi is Quake! He took me to the woods and then I wound up here! He wants me to marry him! He planned to marry me here and make me serve his queen.
Fighter: Shh…it's okay Usagi. We're here now. I've got to get you out of these chains. Don't cry Usagi, please. Everything is going to be okay.
Usagi: But Shi…Shi is Quake! He deceived me all this time. I don't think he knows I'm Sailor Moon though.
Fighter: Nor will he ever know. I've got to get these chains off!
Quake pushed Mercury and Star Magic away from him and turned around, glaring at Fighter helping Usagi. Quake ran at Fighter, his sword ready to taste blood.
Quake: GET AWAY FROM HER! YOU CAN'T HAVE HER! SHE'S MINE, SHE'S MINE!
The tip of the blade pierced Fighter's heart and just as quick Quake took it out of Fighter's body, blood trickled down it's long blade. With a cry of pain Fighter backed away from Usagi then fell to the ground, a puddle of crimson blood surrounded her. As soon as the injured senshi touched the ground she automatically changed back into Seiya. Usagi looked horrified, the senshi couldn't breath, and Quake looked shocked.
Quake: Seiya Kou is…a Sailor Senshi?
Usagi: **screams** Seiya…Seiya wake up! Seiya open your eyes! SEIYA!
Filled with grief Usagi cried at Seiya's fallen form. She cried harder and called Seiya's name louder, more determine to wake him up.
Usagi: Seiya, come on get up! Open your eyes! Seiya! Seiya! It's not funny anymore Seiya…Seiya…SEIYA!!!
The last cry was full of a lot of emtotion, enough emotion to call forth her hidden Moon powers. On her forehead shined a warm and bright yellow crescent moon, the chains that held her to the wall broke and she was free. Within an instant she was by Seiya's side, his head in her arms. She rocked his body back and forth while crying.
Usagi: **whispers** Seiya wake up, I love you Seiya. Now please wake up. You can't abandon your future like this, you can't leave me alone…Seiya…
Quake let his sword fall to his side as he stared at Usagi in shock. He dragged himself to Usagi, the moon on her forehead still bright, very slowly her clothes began to transform her Sailor Moon outfit. Tears spilled on Seiya's cheek as Usagi continued to talk to Seiya.
Seiya: **whispers** I don't want to see you cry Odango, please stop. **brings hand to Usagi's face**
Usagi: **gasps** Seiya! You woke up! You heard me! **hugs Seiya**
Quake: **Looks dazed** Usagi…you are Sailor Moon?
Usagi: **Looks at Quake** Y-yes and I love Seiya with all my heart.
Quake stopped breathing as images came to his head. He saw his Usagi dressed up in a white dress kissing the Knight Seiya, the Earth was hanging over their heads. Next he saw Seiya, Taiki, Yaten, and some red haired woman on the roof of a building with Usagi and her friends. Seiya was saying something to Usagi, which she responded with a smile and a happy reply. The next vision he saw was Usagi and Seiya, dressed in their school uniform, they were kissing on the sidewalk. The last vision he saw Usagi dressed in a white dress with angel wings in the back of her dress, Seiya was at her side smiling wearing a silver tuxedo, two girls held onto Seiya and Usagi's hand, they looked as if they couldn't be happier.
Voice in Quake's Head: You can never break the bond between them, no one can. You can't alter fate. You can't alter fate.
Quake: **whispers** Alter fate…bond…I'm in the way?
Quake lifted his sword and looked at his reflection on the blade he seemed to be thinking. He looked at Usagi who was staring at him in a puzzled way. He smiled at her, a sad smile.
Quake: Gomen nasai Usagi. I hurt you didn't I? I never meant to hurt you, I wanted you to be with me, I wanted you to be happy, I wanted you to be happy with me! But I see that I only hurt you, I'm so sorry. Seiya…you're a lucky man, take care of her, protect her with your life. Oh and Usagi…just remember…you'll always be in my heart.
With that final statement he thrust the sword into his heart. Usagi gasped and watched his body fall to the ground and stop moving.
Sailor Moon: SHI!!!
Sailor Moon was going to run to Shi's dead body but as soon as she took a step the environment around her changed. It seemed as if they were all floating in space. The background was purple and blue, no ground at all…just swirling colors.
Sailor Secret Star: Where are we?
Sailor Moon: **looks down** Shi-kun…
A bright light shot down next to Sailor Venus and the other seven warriors and Tuxedo Kamen and a small version of him appeared, all of them looked confused and were in their warrior outfits.
Sailor Moon: Minna!
Sailor Uranus: Where are we?
Sailor Mercury: I don't have a clue, my computer doesn't seem to read our location.
Voice: Where you are you ask? I'll tell you! Welcome to my maze, at the end of the maze you'll get a prize! Me, the Dark Queen, Daughter of Queen Beryl. When, or if you make it to the end of the maze, I'll have my revenge!
Sailor Pluto: So…the final battle has begun…
To Be Continued…
Yep yep. The end of another chapter, and I can't believe were on the countdown to the final chapter all ready. I just didn't have the heart to have Quake have a horrible death so I made it bitter sweet. And if any of you are wondering…yes Huntress is still there and yes she will have her chance at battling the senshi too. I think there will be around 5 chapters left!!!! I can't believe it…it sorta brings a tear to your eye…
Until the next chapter minna-san!
JA!
