I don't own any character created by Naoko Takeuchi.....
Sailor Twilight regained consciousness to the real world and yelled "No!" as she got up and started running towards him. She pushed him out of the way just in time, but she was not as lucky. The attack hit her, and she sank to the ground, moaning.
Prince Orion ran to her side as Lady Nightmare laughed menacingly behind them. "Twilight, why did you do that? Oh no! The crystal's light is fading!" Prince Orion cried as the star charm on the necklace that Sailor Twilight wore began to grow dim. As the light faded, so did Sailor Twilight's life. The Neo-Eternal Youth Crystal was her very soul and life force, and now, just as the fading light, she would diminish into the shadow.
Sailor Twilight looked up at Prince Orion and responded weakly "I did it for you, because, well, I love you. That's what love is all about, sacrifices. Please, go tell the others to come and help battle and to fight strong." Prince Orion was confused as to why she wanted him to go get the other senshi when Lady Nightmare could take over the world in that time.
He was about to question her when a voice behind him said, "I shall go get them, your majesty." He looked behind him and saw Sailor Pluto standing there, bowing.
"Thank you Pluto, this means a lot to me." Sailor Twilight responded as her breath became shallower. Prince Orion opened his mouth to ask why Sailor Pluto referred to Sailor Twilight as 'your majesty', but before he could, Sailor Twilight spoke up again.
"You will find out soon enough why I was called that, Orion. Just as I now know my past. It would take far too long to explain for me, but someone else will. In the name of justice, hope, love, and the twilit sky, I am Sailor Twilight." she whispered, her head falling limp in Prince Orion's arms. Sailor Pluto went off to get the others, while Prince Orion stood up and turned to Lady Nightmare.
He spoke to her saying, "I am the salvation and the coming of a new day. In the name of faith, peace, justice, and the morning sun, I am Prince Orion, and you shall pay, you ugly old hag!"
"How dare you, you little brat!" she responded, flabbergasted at being called an ugly old hag.
Meanwhile, back in Tokyo, Hotaru, Rini, Oriana, and Ci-Ci were all over at Oriana's apartment talking when Sailor Pluto arrived. "Setsuna-mama?" Hotaru asked, confused.
"The time has come, your help is needed." Sailor Pluto told the girls. They all nodded and without a word, disappeared with Sailor Pluto.
Lady Nightmare was about to finish off Prince Orion when a high-pitched voice shouted, "I am the little sailor-suited pretty soldier Sailor Chibi-Moon! In the name of the moon, I will punish you!"
Sailor Chibi-Chibi added "Chibi-chi, Chi-bi, Chi!" sounding rather angry.
Sailor Saturn stepped in front of Sailor Chibi-Chibi and said, "I am the melancholic warrior, Sailor Saturn." To finish the introductions off, Oriana leapt in front of all three girls in tigress form and transformed into her special senshi form.
"I am the prowler of the night, the unseen shadow, I shall punish those who plot in evil, I am the Tigress." she growled at Lady Nightmare.
"Aww, how cute, a party of sailor dorks. I'll just finish you all off at once." Lady Nightmare mocked.
Sailor Chibi-Moon pulled out her Moon Rod and yelled "Pink Sugar Heart Attack!"
The other three knew that this was merely a distraction so Hotaru and Ci-Ci could heal Sailor Twilight, so Oriana pulled out her miniature tiger sculpture.
"Tiger, tiger in the night, become a prowler with nasty bite." the Tigress commanded as the sculpture became a jaguar and began pacing around Lady Nightmare, distracting her even more then the small heart shaped fireworks that came out of Sailor Chibi-Moon's Moon Rod.
Sailor Saturn and Sailor Chibi-Chibi rushed to Sailor Twilight's side where Prince Orion stood as Oriana and Rini distracted Lady Nightmare.
"Go help Rini and Oriana distract Lady Nightmare, we'll take it from here." Sailor Saturn commanded of Prince Orion. He nodded his head in agreement and ran off to help the others.
Sailor Saturn placed her hands on Sailor Twilight's charm necklace and closed her eyes. She murmured "Saturn Healing Star" and light exploded from her hands.
The light disappeared into Sailor Twilight's lifeless body and Sailor Chibi-Chibi put her hands on top of Saturn's. Red glittering light mixed with the white light from Sailor Saturn's attack, forming a bright, pink, glittering light.
All the while, images flowed through Sailor Twilight's mind, she not being fully dead yet. Then a voice began talking to her, "My daughter, help is coming. Your time has not come; you have much more to do with your life. Hold on, don't give up." A beautiful woman dressed in white with lavender hair spoke to her, and Sailor Twilight felt a strange knowing of who this was, her mother.
