A World without Flowers - Part Four - Ends

AN : "" Means AN at the bottom.

-Father's Senshi-
"Stop right there!"

Chibi Usa turned to see that man she had just hours before run away from. He was staring in anger at them. Venus took Chibi Usa in her arms as Mars pushed the girl away. Mercury reached out to her friend as the crimson soldier ran toward the man. The silver hallways caught fire behind her as she neared him.

"Hurry. When you see the path run!" She cried out to her friend as the hallways exploded into flames.

Venus could here the man shout because of the flame but she could also hear him putting up a fight. A blue blaze stream of Mars's fire soul could be seen just barely between all the red flames dancing before them.

Mercury stepped back as the heat became even to much for her. "Look! There is the path!" Venus hissed pointing to a circular column on the wall.

Mercury sadly started for it. Venus behind her with Chibi Usa in the middle. Mercury, although in awe at Mars's jump in power to be able to create the column for them and make this part unlike all else cool, continued to run.

Saphir tumbled out of the flames into the column in front of Mercury. He winced as his head bounced off the wall. Mars appeared from the wall right after him flame licking her body. She turned to Mercury, eyes burning, a mad sneer set on her face, "What are you waiting for! Get the Princess out of here!"

The massive area of fire collapsed in on itself rushing towards Mars and encircling her as she began to brutally attack Saphir with her fists. Chibi Usa saw a giant globe of fire appear before Mercury but the blue senshi took her by the arm and pulled.

Mars saw Venus, Mercury, and Chibi Usa round the corner. With a mad cackle she turned back to Saphir screaming, "Time for the flames to burn you for Sailor Moon!"

Saphir screamed as Mars lifted him into the air. The fire shifted and no longer was it just hot, now it seared his clothing and his skin. Before his burned away he managed to scream, "goddess," at the sight of the dying Mars as her hair burned away, eyes being consumed entirely by fire.

When the man had turned into ashes in her hands she let the fires die. Her hair fell in dead whips around her. Her marred beauty didn't matter, her lost eyesight was an acceptable handicap, even her over taxed heart wasn't important as long as Chibi Usa could save Usagi.

An underling approached Demand. "Your majesty. Blue Saphir's remains have been found in the East wing next to the corpse of the past Lady Mars."

"I see. Where are the intruders now," Demand questioned not turning around. He continued to stare at WiseMan who seemed absorbed in watching the underling.

Demand turned around to see said underling being choked by Venus's infamous love chain. "Well I see I won't have to go looking for you."

"Where is Sailor Moon?" Venus demanded shaking the underling who gasped for breath.

Demand tilted his head to the side, "She isn't with you? WiseMan have you been doing things behind my back."

Mercury looked at the man floating in the center of the open room. He waved his hands over a multicolored ball, "I'm afraid even I don't know where the Rabbit of the past is, and this time the meddling wasn't Crimson Rubeus because you killed him. After all he made that first mistake... that ended the Queen... Let us destroy these Senshi and move on to find Sailor Moon, She is our goal."

"Very well!" Demand said jumping back waving his arm.

Mercury pushed Venus and the underling away knocking them both to the ground. "Look out Chibi Usa!" She called. "Shabon Spray!"

She winced watching the shocked look on Demand's face as his freeze diamond attack splittered out towards her. Her Shabon Spray twirled into the air colliding with his attack. The resulting explosion force Chibi Usa to slide across the floor and WiseMan to float back. He glared at the frozen crystal mass that had caused the little shock wave. "Stupid people! All over you! My way is now free, but all I'll have to do it all myself. Oh well. I'll go after you first little rabbit!" He taunted gathering energy.

Chibi Usa ignored WiseMan as she crawled to Mercury encased in her own Shabon Spray. Her face was sad as she stood straight accepting her fate. Demand to was in a relaxed position having know the moment the attack had been ushered, they would kill each other. Water and Ice multied againsted themselves had trapped them both in a block of ice.(Note: nani? o.O?)

"Mercury! Mercury! Fight for me! I am your Princess I command you!" Chibi Usa hissed mad that her father's senshi were leaving her.

"Chibi Usa," Venus shouted jumping at the girl yelling at the crystal. WiseMan's blast struck the blonde in the back as she covered the Princess just in time. Chibi Usa watched as Venus's pretty eyes snapped open in pain and she screamed. Hugging her close made Chibi Usa that much sadder. They weren't leaving her. That had never been there plan. They were making sure no one could hurt her. People were out trying to -kill- her! Her father's senshi were dying so she didn't have to!

"If you won't let me have the little rabbit! I'll strike at her through you!"

Chibi Usa heard his shout. He was hurting them all. Jupiter, Mars, Mercury, and now Venus was dying. "No!" She cried. Her mother had stopped the bad guys with the Silver Crystal. Yes, Mother said one day she would have it! Why couldn't she borrow it now?

"Silver Crystal," She begged, "please, I know you're mommy's right now. But can't I use you for a bit?"

Venus looked down as Chibi Usa talked to herself. WiseMan continued to strike at her the pain eating her up. She saw the mark of the moon appear on Chibi Usa's forehead. She started to cry, "Usagi. Usagi she's yours. She really is yours," Chibi Usa looked up at her, "my princess."

WiseMan growled in anger. Venus was persistent, this time he powered up just a little longer and struck again. He was given a statified silence. Venus was dead draped over the little rabbit. "Venus? Venus-sama? Don't leave me again!" He heard the rabbit scream. He gave a content laugh floating closer. He passed the dead Demand, the frozen Mercury, and the silent Venus. Chibi Usa was still screaming.

"Little Rabbit, It's time for you to give me your power," He grinned. Reaching out to pull out the girl from under Venus. He really did wonder how she had gotten so big so fast. He saw her red eyes turn to him and grow wide with fear. She gave a cry and crawl out from under Venus away from him.

"Please," She started to scream. He didn't understand was she was trying to do. "Please," She screamed again mentally praying to the crystal to come to her. She didn't even pay attention to WiseMan who just waited savoring her screams.

"Princess." Someone whispered into her ear. Chibi Usa stopped running and turned to see WiseMan where she had left him.

"Princess be strong we are with you." The someone whispered again. From her pouch the sacred items given to her floated out.

"I gave you the power of Jupiter. You have the fury of the storms with you." The thunderball flashed taking a corner in front of her.

"The calculating gaze of Mercury will save you. I will be with you to solve this." The mini-supercomputer flipped open taking the corner behind the thunderball. The sign of Mercury blinked furiously on its screen.

"No! This shouldn't be happening!" WiseMan hissed noticing the sacred objects and feeling the power increase. He gave a howl of angry force a massive energy spike at her. Chibi Usa screamed seeing she was fully open for the attack and unable to protect herself.

-Mom would be proud-
Chibi Usa looked up between her arm when she found she was still standing. The Venus henshin pen was swirl madly having took the left corner in front of her. "Bestowed upon you is the love of many people. From the past, present, and future Venus is at your command." She squinted her eyes and smiled. She could see soft outlines of Super Sailor Jupiter and Super Sailor Venus holding hands blocking WiseMan's attack.

"No! The Rabbit must die! I must have the power of the Moon!" WiseMan shouted sending another blast her way. It spun to the right passed the Venus henshin pen and right back towards Chibi Usa.

"Flames of the War Gods won't let you pass. Mars blesses the Princess. She will win." The ward scrolls intone. With the square complete the Silver Crystal finally did answer the call of one of it's own blood.

WiseMan saw the spirit of the mentally dead present inner senshi encage their Princess as the Silver Crystal materialized above her head. He grinned. The girl would surely miss. She had could wield the power jewel but she was no where near powerful enough to control it.

"You aren't going anyway WiseMan." Someone laughed taking hold of his arm. He turned to see a grinning Super Sailor Uranus. Two more sets of hands took hold of his other arm and a very menacing poll arm he recognized as Saturn's Silent Glaive appeared before him shattering his orb.

Chibi Usa pointed her finger to the hovering crystal her princess gown appearing in a ray of light, "Please Silver Crystal! Make the bad man go away!" The Silver Crystal spun excitedly in the air drawing it's power from her, who gave it all away willingly. Gathering it up in a bright glow it shot out like an arrow at the "bad man" and he exploded in a shower of light. The Silver Crystal unuse to such a full vessel unlike Usagi explode with the power of her daughter shattering into tiny silver peices.

Chibi Usa gave a whine falling to the floor. She was so tired but happy. Mom would be proud, she had made the bad man go away. "Oh my Princess... you were so brave..." Venus said her henshin pen floating in the center of her transparent figure.

She felt Jupiter take her head into her lap and Super Sailor Mars patted her hair. Super Sailor Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto kneeled beside her crying, "Princess." Neptune sobbed.

"My darling Princess..." Saturn whimpered laying her head on Chibi Usa's stomach. Uranus hugged Neptune who continued to cry and Pluto dropped her garnet rod to hug her.

"It will be okay, I know it will Princess. Small Lady you did a wonderful job."

Chibi Usa closed her eyes and fell into sleep as the shattered shards of the crystal floated onto her skin and grew. Just as her mother had in another time she now sleep in a crystal coffin.

"Jupiter," Uranus whispered.

"I know I'll be right back," she said floating away from the crystal mass and out of the room.

Neptune and Uranus flickered for a moment before they disappeared. Jupiter returned rather quickly and laid the dagger and the mirror down next to the crystallized Princess. Then she laid down next them her thunderball center floating down to the floor. Her image faded and she was gone. Saturn watched Venus, Mars, and Mercury take their own spots around the Princess and fade out of existence their material centers floating to rest on the floor.

She turned to Pluto sadly, "There has to be a way to change this. To make sure it never happens."

Pluto nodded, "I know I've tried. I might have already fixed it, for another Chibi Usa, or maybe not. I've never made such an alteration in time, before and if I have- I might not have remembered it. There is no way to know Saturn. We just have to hope Sailor Moon picked the right thing and that this is just a nasty dream. We will soon wake up from."

Saturn nodded laying her poll arm down and forcing all her existence into making it real. Pluto did the same to her garnet rod. Succeeding in that they both lay to rest just as the other senshi had, for their objects of power lay beyond reach on the roof.

The sight of Crystal Tokyo could even be seen from space. The only spec of color other then blue and brown on the desolate planet of Earth. The third planet from the sun, the one most treasure and sought after by evil forces. Home of the Silver Crystal, Sailor Moon, and her Sailor Senshi. All slain in a day, the line was brought to an end, who was to say the city should not follow?

It would not be taken down politically! Not even by evil forces could destroy the great kingdom after it's ruler had fallen. Its home star would take it out. The light of the Sol system itself would eat the planet whole and destroy the last living area.

The sun didn't go nova, per say. Rather it jumped. A giant bubble of flame erupted from its surfaces. It spilled over Mercury, blanketed Venus, and kissed the Earth. The astrologists who saw it coming where just putting down the phone when the flames engulfed the city. Ashes left in the wake of the fires from the Sun, Crystal Tokyo was no more.

The only thing that resounded through the Sol system was the soft plea to a dead entity. Sailor Moon... Don't let it end this way. The call followed the flames till they died on the lone planet of Pluto where the call continued to beg over and over again.

"Alright. I know what I'm going to do!" Sailor Moon hissed to Sailor Pluto.

The woman looked back waiting for an answer. Moon said nothing. "Well?"

"You force me to make this choice! I think I can at least keep it to myself," Moon huffed. Pluto bit her lip.

Looking over Sailor Moon she saw her future Queen. Flashing blue eyes, a stern but kind face, the cross arms demanded to be obeyed but were caring, and her jutting hip were her growing signs of a full-fledged woman.

"Very well," handing Sailor Moon a time key she stated, "all you have to say is 'Time key take me to...' and name the time. You either want to go to the thirty-first century, or the thirtieth."

Moon nodded turn her back to Pluto and raising her arm in the air. To the key she shouted, "Time key! Take me to the century you know I want to go to!"

Pluto gasped, Moon would keep it a secret from her even now! She watched her Queen blink out of the Time Realm. Pluto screamed in rage. That was the only chance she had. She couldn't snatch Usagi back up. What would she do now if she chose to save her friends instead of showing Chibi Usa the catalyst for the Black Moon War!

Return

Author Notes: Oh, What fun writing this chapter. I just couldn't help myself making Saphir scream out Goddess. I mean I had the scene in my mind and that's all I could think. Then I killed her. XD You can definitely see the pattern. I guess I should be glad that I'm getting the next chapter out with this one so you don't hurt me.

Author Notes: Well that's the end of AWWF. I planned this from the very start. I hoped you liked AWWF and be on the look out of And the Moon Flowers Glow when I release it which should be soon! Ja all.
