Chapter 23: Final Battle-Stage I
Sailor Moon and Sailor Uranus were both trying to hold Sailor Star Fighter up while the other senshi were looking around themselves.
Chibi Moon: So this is the final battle?
Pluto: **nods** Yes…we are in the first stage of the final battle.
Kamen: How many stages are there?
Pluto: I don't know…gomen.
Saturn: So the final stage is when we come face to face with Queen Beryl's daughter.
Pluto: Hai. She wants Sailor Moon I can feel it…I can feel her hatred.
Fighter: **smirks** Don't worry. If she wants Odango she'll have to get through me.
Sailor Moon: But Fighter your hurt!
Fighter: I'm fine Sailor Moon. I can walk on my own now too.
Sailor Moon: Demo-
Fighter: **kisses Sailor Moon's cheek** I'm fine.
Mars: We have to move…but where are we?
Mercury: I think we're in some sort of third dimension…
Uranus: **makes fist** I don't care where we are…I care about who is here with us!
Jupiter: Uranus is right…who knows what enemies are hiding out here.
Chibi Star Fighter: **looks determined** We'll just have to find out won't we?
Moon: About that….I really don't think you and Chibi Kamen should be here.
Chibi Kamen and Chibi Fighter: WHAT?
Chibi Fighter: Why not?
Chibi Kamen: We're warriors too ya know!
Maker: Yes we know...Sailor Moon is just saying that you two are warrior in training.
Chibi Fighter: **Folds arms over chest** So? Mars told me that Sailor Moon was still in training!
Sailor Moon: **twitches** You said WHAT?
Mars: **shrugs** Well technically you are…I mean you still can get cornered pretty easily by an enemy…you take forever to sense the enemy and you do things without thinking. But don't worry Sailor Moon…with four more years of training you'll be as good as any of us.
Sailor Moon: I'll be as good….MARS!!!!!
Sailor Moon grabbed Mar's hair and pretty soon they were arguing but no one seemed to care…they were all thinking about what they were going to do from there.
Mercury: I say we go North.
Venus: And where will that take us?
Mercury: **Sweatdrop** I have no idea.
(The senshi fall over)
Star Magic: Then why did you say north?
Healer: **sighs** Look, we can't waste our time arguing, we've got to get moving.
(The others nod their heads in agreement)
_*_*_*_
(Dark Queen)
The Dark Queen looked through her crystal ball at the bickering warriors. Her lips curved upwards in a wicked smile.
Dark Queen: 'I can't wait until we get to meet face to face little princess.'** looks up and snaps fingers**
Within seconds Huntress appeared before her queen, bowing. Her eyes were blood red as a clear sign that she had been crying. With her bottom lip quivering she spoke.
Huntress: You called my queen.
Dark Queen: Oh my poor poor child. Come here in the light…let me see you.
Huntress did as she was told and moved up to the throne looking the queen in the eye with her tearful frightened ones. Much to the girl's surprise the cold queen embraced the girl and ran her ice cold hands down Huntress's back.
Dark Queen: You have heard about your brother Quake have you not?
Huntress nodded not being able to find her voice. The queen forced Huntress to lay her head on her shoulder as she tried to soothe her.
Huntress blinked back tears as she remembered the feelings he felt when Quake left her. A painful sting filled her heart…so painful she had fallen onto her bed and wept until the pain stopped. Then she had a vision of her younger brother and sister laughing together and beckoning to her…that was when she knew she had lost him also.
Dark Queen: Do you know who killed your brother?
Huntress shook her head, she had felt her brother's passing but she never really saw how he had died.
Dark Queen: It was the Sailor Senshi of Earth who did that too him.
Huntress looked into the Dark Queen's eyes searching for the truth. The queen nodded her head slowly making more tears fall down Huntress's cheeks.
Dark Queen: I saw it all my child. There was no mercy in their eyes…just the thirst of blood and you know how foolish your brother could be sometimes. He agreed he would not kill them if they would protect him from you and me…he told them that he was tired of the life he lived and actually said he would help them kill me if they promised to let him be free. But as soon as he told them where I was…they-they killed him my dear. It was horrible. They did it like it was as easy as crushing an ant. **Shakes head sadly** All he did for them…they betrayed in him in the end.
At that Huntress had to look up. Her eyes were wide and red as she saw the queen nod her head. Huntress's bottom lip quivered as she looked into those cold, black eyes. Her brother would never do anything like that! No he would not, he was always loyal he never betrayed anyone…he never would.
Huntress: No...no...NO! He would NEVER abandon us…he would never betray us! He had one mission and that was to kill the moon descendents! He would never ever betray us…he had to kill the senshi and moon descendents as revenge for Misery…no he would nev-
Dark Queen: There was a girl though…
Huntress fell silent when she heard those words. There was a girl that Quake was always obsessing over…the blonde girl with that boyfriend of hers…her. Quake spent his days thinking of ways to get that girl to fall in love with him, how to get her to become his wife…it got to the point where it seemed he would do anything for her.
Huntress: **whispers** A…girl?
Dark Queen: **Nods** Yes. A pretty little thing with blonde hair in the shape of buns. The warriors also agreed to bring her to him if he told them where I was. And you know what…that girl who Quake loved so much…she was Sailor Moon!
Huntress felt sick to her stomach as she cried even harder. Her brother had given up everything for that one girl…and it turned out that girl tricked him and took his life…that one girl was the cause of this all. That girl…she was the cause…she was the cause.
Dark Queen: Huntress…do you remember the name you were given on your home planet?
Huntress shook her head slowly as the Queen dried her wet eyes.
Dark Queen: It was…FLORERIA!
The Dark Queen pressed her palm to Huntress's back with such force that Huntress fell against the queen's shoulder. Black lightening shot through the Dark Queen's fingertips and passed through Huntress. She let out an ear piercing scream and slumped against the queen's shoulder-unconscious.
Huntress's shoulder length raven hair now reached to her knees and changed from pitch black to snow white. Her brown eyes now green. Her black rags changed into a white skirt and a red top. Seconds after the queen took her hand away with a smirk Huntress woke up. She stood up slowly and bowed before her queen.
Huntress: My queen.
Dark Queen: You are no longer Huntress…you are known as Floreria now.
Floreria/Huntress: Yes my queen.
Dark Queen: Floreria tell me…what is it you wish to do.
Floreria: **looks Queen in the eye** Kill.
Dark Queen: **evil grin** Who do you wish to kill?
Floreria: The girl…Sailor Moon.
Dark Queen: **frowns** No. You will not kill Sailor Moon, you will bring her too me. But you may kill her friends and her two daughters.
Floreria: **frowns** I want the girl.
The Dark Queen glared at Floreria, pain shot through the girl's left leg and she fell to the ground.
Dark Queen: You will bring the girl too me! Never forget who you are talking to! The girl is mine…you may have the others!
Floreria: Very well my queen.
Dark Queen: Good. I want you to wait for them by the Mirage. Don't come to them…they will come to you.
Floreria: **bows** Yes my queen.
Dark Queen: Good. Now go!
Floreria nodded and disappeared without a trace. The Queen smiled evilly and brought her attention back to the senshi…her focus was on Sailor Moon.
Dark Queen: Very soon bunny you will be mine! You are the reason why my mother is dead! You and your filthy mother…but now I will have my revenge and believe me…it will be sweet.

(Senshi)
Sailor Moon: You guys…I'm under the impression that we're lost.
Mercury: That's impossible.
Fighter: Sailor Moon is right…I feel as if we're getting no where fast.
Mercury: No no no. I meant that it's impossible to know where we are. There are no directions here it's just…space. My computer reads that there isn't anything miles ahead of us.
Uranus: Just…space?
Uranus took her sword out and swiped the air with it. Much to her surprise when she went through it air the sword felt it cut through something.
Uranus: Nani?
Neptune: What is it?
Before Uranus could answer, a visible crack formed where she had cut the space and had split into two taking the shape of a doorway.
Beyond the 'doorway' was another setting. It was snowy and looked cold. It was actually a snow-
covered desert.
Sailor Moon: Nani yo?
Pluto: It must be the 2nd Stage.
???: Ohohohohohoho you want to go to the 2nd Stage? Well sorry, ya gotta get through me first!
In front of the doorway appeared a snow queen/elf. She was made completely of ice from head to two and wore a crown. She stood six feet tall.
SnowQueen: They call me Icicle, I'm the queen of this Snow Dessert you want to get into so badly, but I can't let you pass…so sorry.
Icicles formed in her hand and she threw them at the bunch who dodged it just in time. Queen Icicle laughed amusedly. Suddenly a yellow rose was pierced in her right leg and a crack formed along it.
Chibi Kamen: You big, mean, scary lady! You don't laugh at the Sailor Senshi! The Sailor Senshi have been known to defeat the galaxy's most infamous criminals in a single attack! They are Queen Neo Serenity's and King Seiya's most trusted guardians and my momma is a Sailor Senshi too!
Chibi Moon: **sweatdrop** Um…Chibi Kamen dear…right now isn't the time for a history lesson!
Chibi Fighter: See! I told you I was a better warrior than HIM!
Bittersweet LoveChibi Fighter's attack distracted Queen Icicle long enough for Sailor Star Fighter too get an attack in.
Star Eternal BeamQueen Icicle: Oh ho ho ho! What a delightful tickle.
Fighter: My attack won't do! She's unaffected by it!
Mars: **smirks** Don't worry Fighter…I got this one!
Mars Fiery Rage!The queen let out a cry as her body was being engulfed by flames and slowly turned into a big puddle on the ground.
Puddle: You got lucky this time…put you've got more competition ahead of you.
Sailor Moon looked up at the doorway to the snowy and cold 2nd Stage. She gingerly took a step over the puddle that use to be Queen Icicle.
Sailor Moon: So…this is Stage 2?
Pluto: Yes.
Sailor Moon: I see…does anyone have a jacket I can borrow?
To Be Continued…
End of Chapter 23! I wrote it in a day! I'm so proud of myself! And yes I know it's REALLY REALLY short…well sorry it was just the intro to the Final Battle Stages. How many stages are there you ask? I have no freakin idea. **Sweatdrop** Ain't I pathetic! ^_^. Well it's March 4, 2003 I'm at home sick with a lil cold thingy. Okay that's all I have to say!
