Chapter 25: Final Battle-Stage II

Sailor Moon: *hopping around* I'm not cold, I'm not cold! I'm at a hot desert...very hot, there's a swimming pond just around the corner....

Mars: Would you shut the hell up already?! It's not helping! *Shivers*

Sailor Moon: *pouts* I was just trying to make the situation better!

Destiny: Come on you guys! Your fighting is wasting time...we gotta get out of here and get this final battle thing over with.

Mercury: *looks down at computer* No matter where we go I can't get reading from this!

Uranus: **looks at sword** And I already tried to slice the air like I did last time...what could be the trick of getting out of here?

Venus: **looks down** Um you guys...I think I found the answer.

The rest of the Senshi looked down at the ground and saw a trail of blooming flowers right by their feet, the message was obvious "Follow the Flowers".

Star Healer: Well that's...interesting-

Star Magic: But wait! Look!

Instead of one trailing line of flowers that led from Sailor Moon's feet to else where there were sprouting flowers at each senshi's feet, all the paths were going different directions.

Star Maker: It seems the idea is that we go different directions.

Jupiter: Do you think it's a trap.

Secret Star: Without a doubt.

Sailor Moon: What should we do?

Pluto: If we stay in one place to long the dimension will shift, as in everything will move around and we'll never get out of here.

Fighter: Mercury, what does your computer tell you about these plants?

Mercury: **typing** Nothing...unusual, nothing seems hidden. I don't know if I trust the snow forest the flowers lead up too.

Uranus: It doesn't seem like we have a choice...we've each gotta follow the path that's been given too us.

Mars: I guess so....

Saturn: How about if we are in danger we call each other on our communication watches!

Neptune: **nods** Yes that will have too do.

Chibi Moon: Well, let's get too it then! I want to know what's on the other side.

Tuxedo Kamen: **looks at Chibi Kamen and Chibi Star Fighter** Oh no.

Sailor Moon: **gasps** Oh no! No! We can't let them go alone, it's too dangerous.

Chibi Star Fighter: **whines** But Usagi-mama! We know what we're doing! We'll be fine.

Chibi Kamen: There is no need to worry about us, we've been prepared to do what ever it takes to keep the future rulers safe.

Destiny: No, you guys can't go alone! It'll be too dangerous! I don't want to see you get hurt!

Sailor Moon: **tears in her eyes** I just don't think I could forgive myself if I let you guys get hurt!

Mars: **softly** Sailor Moon is right...you two are too young so we have to worry about you...

Jupiter: What can we do?

Sailor Moon: I can take Chibi Star Fighter with me, Destiny will you take Chibi Kamen?

Destiny: Hai!

Fighter: **smirks** Usagi will be a great mother.

Sailor Moon was half way picking up the youngest of the senshi when Chibi Star Fighter let out a yelp of pain making her future mother put her back down again. Sailor Moon stared at Chibi Star Fighter with confusion and worry in her eyes as the girl rubbed her legs with her eyes tightly shut. Destiny looked at Sailor Moon and Chibi Star Fighter in question then went to pick up her future son. Chibi Kamen winced when Sailor Destiny held him inches off the ground but Destiny didn't noticed until she held him half way off the ground and saw his face was trying to hold in pain. Quickly she put him back on the ground and watched as he held still his face still twisted in pain.

Chibi Moon: What in the world? Aquaria-chan! Are you okay?

Sailor Chibi Moon went to step over the trail of flowers to go to her sisters aid but stopped halfway over the flowers when a horrible pain went soaring through her right leg. Yelping she fell on her back taking deep breath in and out looking at her right leg every few seconds, the pain was horrible, she felt as if that leg had been on fire.

Fighter: **looks to Chibi Moon** Chibi Moon! Are you alright?

Chibi Moon: I...I don't...it hurts. The flowers are the ones that are causing Chibi Fighter and Chibi Kamen that pain. We can't cross over our trails of flowers, we have to follow the flowers alone and we have to follow the path we've been given.

Mercury: So they've been waiting for us...

Sailor Moon: **crying** NO! We can't leave them alone! I don't want to even think of what could happen to them! They are just children, our children...our future. How could you guys do this too them?

Fighter: Usagi-chan you know we don't want to, I'm worried about them too but there is nothing we can do. But don't worry...if something happens they can call us on the communication watches okay?

Chibi Moon: Don't worry Sailor Moon. I've been watching both of them train together and they've both are skilled at fighting and using their magic. **Smiles** They are even better then me when I had came here three years ago to practice my fighting with the rest of the Sailor Senshi...I know they'll be okay...just trust me...

Sailor Moon: **nods** I...okay...

Destiny: **looks at Chibi Kamen** If anything at all happens...call us okay. I don't care how small it is just-*stops and looks at Tuxedo Kamen's hand on her shoulder then nods* Be brave okay?

Uranus: **winks** Yeah, put up a good fight!

Chibi Fighter: **smiles and does a soldier salute** Roger!

Mars: Okay! Let's do this.

Each senshi nodded knowing that they would have to start down their own separate paths eventually. Soon they slowly began to part and go down the trail of flowers.

Sailor Moon couldn't stop worrying about the youngest of the warriors...would they be okay. She just couldn't forgive herself if something happened to them.

Sailor Moon: And their parents wouldn't forgive me either. Oh Kami-sama...let them be strong! Let us get this Final Battle over with! Hey! Worrying about Aquaria and Seiki so much made me forget about the cold! **cold wind passes over her making her shiver** DAMN YOU WIND!!!

_*_*_*_*_

(Black Palace)

The Dark Queen sat at her throne looking into her crystal ball watching the senshi closely, soon they would meet her ultimate weapon-Floreria.

Dark Queen: This time you warriors won't be lucky, Floreria will have your blood on her sword...I can finally rest once this is all over...Death and Destruction, that is all the Moon ever caused me...death and destruction. But tonight...oh yes tonight...the very last of those who have Moon lineage...will be begging for mercy! But lets just hope that Floreria will do exactly what I told her...

_*_*_*_

(Sailor Moon's Path)

She stopped and looked at the entrance to the dark forest. Anyone without magic could tell that it was pure evil inside of it and anyone with enough sense would walk away from it and never speak of it again. Yet Sailor Moon had a mission, and whether she liked it or not, crybaby or not, she had to go through with it. The moment her boot touched the soil in the forest she felt as if she were in quick sand. The forest floor was damp and dark and very muddy...which was a very pleasant thing to step in but Sailor Moon scrunched up her nose and took another step. As soon as her full body was in the clearing she shuddered. She knew it was evil but not that evil. She actually felt dirty and she could smell the foul smell of evilness.

Sailor Moon: **whispering** I want to get out of here! I don't like it.

But she kept moving. She took about five steps before she stopped all together. She didn't stop because she was afraid to go on, she stopped because she felt something enter her, something cold and uncaring. She looked up at the path before her and saw Seiya. Not Sailor Star Fighter but Seiya...he looked hurt-badly hurt.

Sailor Moon: Seiya?!

Seiya was looking at her with a dazed look on his face. Sailor Moon watched him and he watched her but not she could tell that he couldn't exactly see her, his eyes were glazed over.

Sailor Moon: **whispering** Seiya...is that really you?

Seiya: **smiles** Odango!

Sailor Moon: **smiling** Sei-chan! **goes to run into his arms**

Seiya was smiling in a dazed kind of way. He slowly opened his arms for his bunny when something happened. The smile on his face faded and he slowly began to slouch over until he was he was lying face down on the ground. Sailor Moon stopped; her eyes wide and her gloved hands covering her mouth, her expression was pure horror.

Sailor Moon: **screaming** SEIYA!

Someone appeared behind Seiya's still body, it was a girl with long white hair, in her hand was a glittering, long sword...the tip of it was dripping with blood. She smirked at Sailor Moon who stared at the blood on her sword.

Sailor Moon: **whispering** No....Seiya! Not this again...not again!

The girl with white hair chuckled and turned the tip of the blade at Sailor Moon then went charging at her.

The dead Seiya on the ground and the mysterious white haired girl began to fade away making just as soon as the girl's blade touched Sailor Moon's throat. Sailor Moon let out a few short breaths as she rubbed her throat while staring at the place where Seiya' body had once been. Sailor Moon's eyes began to blur, not from tears...but from something that was out of her control. When her eyes focused again what she saw before her scared and shocked her. It was raining and a group of people, all dressed in black sat in chairs with grim faces as they watched two small, precious bodies be lowered into the ground, their caskets were white to show their purity and innocence. Sailor Moon pushed through the chairs to get a good look, and when she did she fell to the ground with her hands at her mouth, preparing herself just in case she had to vomit, which she was sure she was going to do. In the caskets were Seiki and Aquaria looking peaceful and serene, both had a tiny smile of triumph on their face, the tombstone before each caskets read "Two Brave Souls Will Live until Time Ends". Feeling tears trickle down her face she stared at Aquaria, the girl who she could tell was in every way like her, the girl who she had been able to comfort and laugh with, the girl who had been her own flesh and blood. She turned her head to look at Seiki feeling sick again, she had always imagined Seiki and Aquaria going into teenagers and falling in love, but it didn't seem the case. As the caskets lowered slowly into the ground Sailor Moon wrapped her left hand around Seiki's small fingers and her right around Aquaria's. She turned her head when she heard loud sobs and sniffles, what Sailor Moon saw was herself, an older version of herself being held by an older version of Seiya. She knew who it was and she just couldn't pain herself to look at the woman who looked as if she had lost everything. ChibiUsa stood beside her older version, watching the coffins go down without emotion, but when they finally did she began to shake her head 'no' with panic.

Sailor Moon: It's my fault...It's my fault they are dead! If only I had been wiser, stronger! I could have prevented this! I blame myself

Her eyes blurred again and when they finally did focus she saw herself looking at the Dark Queen herself.

Sailor Moon: What's going on?

The Dark Queen had her back to Sailor Moon making her very curious too see who was with her and what was happening to her. The evil queen began to cackle loudly and looked at Sailor Mon with her beady red eyes.

Sailor Moon: Who are you?

The queen didn't answer but she did cackle even louder. She moved a foot to her left and continued to laugh at Sailor Moon...as if she found the warrior amusing. Sailor Moon squinted her eyes and saw something that made her even more sick. Scrawled on the ground, behind the Dark Queen, covered in blood were her beloved Sailor Senshi.

Sailor Moon: **gasps** No!

She began to back away...tears in her eyes. What hurt her heart the most was that ever single one of her dead senshi were looking at her with their dead, cold eyes. It made her shiver down to the bone.

Sailor Moon: They aren't dead!

Dark Queen: They are quite dead actually...and it's your entire fault. You failed them. They would have lived if you succeeded...but you didn't. And the Crystal is mine now! You failed them, your own senshi...the ones who swore to protect you...you let them down...YOU KILLED THEM!

Sailor Moon: **covers ears** No I didn't! I didn't fail! I always try my hardest and they know it! They can't be dead! They can't!

Sailor Venus: **still laying on ground with cold eyes on SM** It was you Sailor Moon! We trusted you and you failed.

Sailor Mercury: Yes...you failed us all!

Sailor Jupiter: You betrayed us!

Sailor Secret Star: It's your fault!

Sailor Moon: **crying** No! No it isn't! I tried my hardest!

Star Fighter: Lies!
Chibi Star Fighter: You betrayed us Usagi-mama.

Chibi Tuxedo: IT'S YOUR FAULT!

All Senshi: YOUR FAULT!

Sailor Moon: No! No it isn't!

She sank to the ground still listening to the accusions of betrayal from her dead friends. Covering her ears and crying she tried to drone her senshi and the Dark Queen's cackling out.

Sailor Moon: **Yelling** JUST MAKE IT STOP!

???: Okay.

The next second the warrior was alone, there wasn't a dead Seiya, a dead Seiki and Aquaria nor any dead Senshis and a cackling queen anywhere to be found...she was just alone.

???: Are you happy now? It's over.

Sailor Moon: Who said that?

???: I did but of course!

A little man appeared before her. He wore a red feather hat and a green shirt and pants, his shoes had little bells on the tips of them and he reminded Sailor Moon of Peter Pan.

Sailor Moon: Who are you?

Little Man: I am known as Wea! I am guardian of Weakness Forest-this forest-and also the Third Stage!

Sailor Moon: Why did you do that? Why did you make me see those horrible things.

Wea: Ohohohehehe! I did not make you see the things you saw! This forest makes all of your weaknesses/fears come alive! You had a lot I must say! Lemme see, your first weakness is to loose you 'darling boyfriend' and to repeat the past. Your second weakness was to loose the innocent, you got so teary with those two little brats. And your third weakness was failing your warriors and friends. My, aren't you the brave one!

Sailor Moon: Stop it!

Wea: Oh...I made the poor lil warrior mad! Do you want to see how your friends are doing with their weaknesses?

Sailor Moon: The others...?

Many pictures appeared before Sailor Moon, in each image was one of her senshis...each one looked in pain and sadness. She watched as some fell to the ground holding their heads hoping that the weakness scene would end, and she also saw some of them crying.

Sailor Moon: **yelling at Wea** Stop it! Stop torturing them!

The many pictures disappeared and Wea walked up to her calmly. Sailor Moon just did her best to show her anger she felt towards what he was doing to her friends.

Wea: Oh yes, yes of course I'll stop the images they are seeing...but only if you challenge and defeat me, then of course the Weakness will be lifted.

Sailor Moon: **slowly nods** Okay, I'll do it!

Wea: **smirks** Good. **Disappears**

Sailor Moon: Nani? Where...

Wea's Voice: Oh did I forget to tell you? I have to power of invisibility! Ohohohohehehehe.

Sailor Moon: MOU! That is SOOOO not fair!

Wea's Voice: I know....don't you love it?

Sailor Moon: Where are you?! **kicks air**

Wea's Voice: Not there I can tell you that!

Sailor Moon's ears perked up as she started to walk in the direction of the voice, she did her best to act as if she didn't know where she was going.

Sailor Moon: Ya know....you were pretty clever to think all of this up yourself...that is if you did think all of this up yourself.

Wea's Voice: I did too! I did it all! No one helped me!

Sailor Moon: Oh are you sure? Because it seems like the Dark Queen has been doing a lot...everyone would just assume she is the brains behind it all.

Wea's Voice: That's not true! I own this forest! This forest is mine! Mine, mine, mine!

Sailor Moon: And Rei calls me a big baby? **Sweatdrop**

She began to walk east, where his voice was now coming from, all she had to do was keep him talking so she could corner him.

Sailor Moon: Then you might want to talk to her about that. My guess is that you don't succeed in killing us then she'll kill you herself and also get rid of your beautiful forest.

Wea's Voice: No, that won't happen! After I kill the other warriors I'll let you pass, and when the Queen is done with you I'll run her out of the Stages! This is our home, we had it first.

Sailor Moon: **stops walking** Why would you let me pass only?

Wea's Voice: The queen has some personal issues with you, she wants you to herself, our orders were to kill the others and deliver you too her...I guess she wants to kill you herself.

Sailor Moon: So Taiki was right, she wants revenge for her mother...she wants to kill me herself...but at the same time she would get the Crystal...it's like killing two birds with one stone...**outloud** Oh really? How do you plan on running her out of your home? How'd she get here in the first place?

She began to walk slowly towards the sound of ruffling leaves...now if she could just keep this up she'd be able to corner and defeat him.

Wea's Voice: Queen Icicle and I signed a contract with her. We promised her we'd let her take shelter in our Stages and also lead you and only you Sailor Moon to her...on our half she promised to make sure the Stages were protected. But of course me and Icicle want her out so as soon as we do as we agreed to do...the Dark Queen will leave our Stages whether she likes it or not.

Sailor Moon: Oh? How do you plan on running her out of your home? She is supposedly such a strong queen is she not? It would be hard to do it yourself.

Wea's Voice: I won't be doing it alone! Queen Icicle will help.

Sailor Moon: Demo....to get past Stage I the senshi and I had to defeat her. '

Wea's Voice: You did not!

Sailor Moon: It was the only way to get past that stage.

There was silence and what seemed to be muffled sniffles....Sailor Moon felt bad but...she had to do what she had to do to save her friends. She was now pretty sure where Wea was hiding but she had to make sure.

Sailor Moon: Did the Dark Queen also promise to protect you no matter what?

Wea's Voice: SHUT UP! I KNOW WHAT YOUR TRYING TO DO!!

There was a sizzling sound and before her Sailor Moon saw blue light gathering up into a big blue ball, she had to beat his attack.

COSMIC MOON STAR LOVE

There was a shrill cry and then silence...she couldn't tell if she had won the battle or not. The sound of ruffling leaves and plants got her back on guard, coming into the clearing was an exhausted Sailor Star Fighter.

Sailor Moon: FIGHTER!

Fighter: **weak smile** Hey Odango!

Sailor Moon: **crying** It's really you, isn't it?

Fighter: Only if you are really you.

Behind Fighter more heads began to pop up.

Sailor Moon: You guys are alright...right?

Venus: Yeah....domo arigato...that was pure hell back there.

Jupiter: **rubs head** Your telling me.

Secret Star: So, where to next?

Pluto: Just wait a minute...

A second later the scenery before them split in half and opened...like a door would. The next stage was sunnier and more colorful.

Sailor Moon: Now this stage I like!

Pluto: **whispering** It's Mirage. It's Stage Mirage!

Healer: I still don't think it's right for one person to know so much!

To Be Continued...
