Chapter 24: Final Battle of Light and Darkness
Serena yawned, "Man, Mom has no respect for sleep. Thank goodness it's Saturday, I should have been allowed to sleep."
"Is that all you do? Meatball head, all I ever see you do is eat and sleep," came the voice of Darien Shields as he walked up behind her.
Serena rolled her eyes, "Get lost, creep."
Darien sneered. "What if I don't want to?"
Serena shrugged. "Knock yourself out, just don't bug me. I'm going to check out whatever made that big noise last night."
Darien snickered. "While you were hiding under your bed?"
"That was you, don't you have anything better to do? A job or a girlfriend? No, on second thought, who would want to date a minus zero personality like you?" shot back Serena.
Darien flushed. "Well... fine! I'm leaving."
Serena shrugged. "You weren't invited in the first place."
She watched his retreating back. "Pity, someone's wasting resources, wasting a hot body like that with his personality. Creep. (sigh) all the good looking ones are always jerks."
"Excuse me."
Someone bumped into Serena. She turned to see a girl with pink hair done like hers and wearing a extremely strange outfit.
"What in the... you look just like me! And that's my hairstyle!" shouted Serena causing the girl to skid to a halt.
"You don't know me?" asked the girl questionly, looking surprised.
Serena shook her head. "Fraid not. I don't think we've ever met."
The girl swallowed. "Oh."
Serena smiled. "But its weird, we really look alike."
The girl smiled awkwardly. "Yeah... it does huh?"
Serena nodded. The girl seemed to be thinking for a moment.
"Uh, well, I got to be going," said the girl turning and running off, "Bye Serena!"
Serena stared as the girl ran away. How did that girl know her name?
Sailor Neo Moon cursed to herself. She had come back at to the wrong time! Serena had no memory of ever being a scout! Nor did any of the others. Neo Moon sighed to herself. Luckily, she only had to round up Darien and Serena, while Sailor Clotho would find Amy, Raye, Lita and Mina; and Sailor Neo Pluto would bring Amara, Michelle, Trista and Hotaru.
"Hey, you!"
Neo Moon turned around to see Serena running over to her.
"How do you know my name?" Serena asked as she reached Sailor Neo Moon.
"Uh... I'm your cousin, remember, no, you wouldn't, we were really too young when we last met," lied Neo Moon.
Serena cocked her head. "Really, that would explain the similarity."
Neo Moon smiled. "Yeah, do me a favor, do you have a cat?"
"Yes, her name is Luna," replied Serena, "Why?"
Neo Moon nodded. "Okay. Forgive me but, I need to do this."
She cocked a fist and knocked Serena out. "Sorry Mom, but a I can't do this without you asleep."
She propped Serena up and knelt in front of her. "All right, like Luna said..." she closed her eyes and the crescent moon on her forehead lit up.
The coke fell from Darien's suddenly nerveless fingers.
"Darien? Are you all right?" Andrew grasped Darien's shoulder.
"Yeah, I need to go..." said Darien.
He didn't know why, but he suddenly had the feeling Serena was in great danger.
Cram School:
Amy Anderson looked up from her book. She had gotten a cold feeling, like someone had just dumped water on her head. She picked up her bag and walked toward the source of her feeling was coming from…
Cherry Hill Temple:
Raye Hino gazed into the fire as she stood. She felt some strange force pulling her away from her prayers and leading her outside, away from the temple…
Lita's Apartment:
Lita Kino ran down from her apartment, feeling some strange energy pulling her toward the park. She tried to stop running, but her feet wouldn't listen, they just kept on moving…
In the Park:
Mina Aino walked, feeling a strange power call her. She had tried turning away, but some sixth sense told her to keep on going and find out what the power was…
The beam connecting Serena and Sailor Neo Moon vanished.
"Huh? What... who are you any way, and how did you get past my memory block?" Serena hissed.
"My name is Rini and I am your daughter in the future," said Neo Moon as she watched Serena's face become shocked, "I too am a sailor scout, Sailor Neo Moon."
Before Serena could even ask a question, Neo Moon went on, "You, my mother, Neo Queen Serenity and entire Crystal Tokyo is endanger. That's why I came back to the past so you and the other scouts can come and help us fight."
Serena nodded. "Why did you revive me?"
Neo Moon shrugged. "Seemed like a good idea at the time... don't look at me like that! It would have happened sooner or later! Plus I need your help."
Serena sighed. If this girl was her future daughter, then who was…
"Hey, uh, Rini, Sailor Neo Moon," questioned Serena, "Who's your dad?"
Sweat drops appeared on the back of Neo Moon's head, "Uh, uh, can you transform?"
Serena nodded, "I can, but answer my question!"
"SERENA!" Darien barreled towards them, "Huh?"
He tripped over a stray root and fell straight into Serena, knocking them both over.
"S-sorry!" he swallowed, he jerked back.
Serena threw a glance at Neo Moon who looked away. Darien turned to Sailor Neo Moon and stared at her for a moment.
"You two look alike," he said after a moment of silence, "Are you two related or something?"
"Yes, Papa," replied Neo Moon watching as Darien's face turned pale.
"P-Papa," he repeated as he shot a look at Serena, "What is she talking about?"
The crescent moon on Neo Moon's forehead glowed and hit Darien's forehead. Memories of his past life and love with Serena flowed back to him.
"Serena," he started, but was interrupted by pounding footsteps.
Amy, Raye, Lita, and Mina came running into view.
"Serena," said Amy in surprise, "What are you doing here?"
"She brought me here," said Serena jabbing a finger at Neo Moon.
"Well, I guess Clotho did her job," muttered Neo Moon, "I guess she expects me to bring back their memories too. Oh well."
She closed her eyes for the third time. Her crescent moon appeared on her forehead and split into four different beams, hitting Amy, Raye, Lita, and Mina's foreheads. They all regained their memories quickly.
"Transform," commanded Neo Moon.
Serena held up one hand. "Moon Prism Power!"
"Mercury Power!" "Mars Power!" "Jupiter Power!" "Venus Power!"
Sailor Clotho sighed. She had decided to find the Planetary Knights and bring back their memories, while Neo Pluto and Neo Moon could take care of the scouts.
She had told Neo Pluto to go on once she found the Outer Scouts and to go with Neo Moon. She'd catch up later.
Somewhere else in Tokyo:
Sailor Neo Pluto watched from high in a tree as Amara Tenoh's yellow car pulled up. From another direction, Michelle Kaioh walking closer, her own mother, Trista Meiou in her human form arriving and Hotaru Tomoe joining them.
She had sent them all letters, demanding their presence about something. She watched as the four introduced themselves and each say that they had gotten a letter.
Then, with her trusty Time Staff in hand, Sailor Neo Pluto jumped down from the tree, surprising everyone.
"Welcome, Sailor Soldiers," she greeted with a coy smile.
Everyone, except Trista seemed confused. She glared at Sailor Neo Pluto.
"Are you the one who send us the letters?"
"Yes, Sailor Pluto," replied Neo Pluto enjoying her mother's shocked look.
Raising her staff high in the air, she muttered a few words as a four beams shot out from the orb in the center, each hitting a scout's forehead.
"So what are we waiting for?" asked Sailor Venus looking at Neo Moon.
"Sailor Neo Pluto and Sailor Clotho, " answered Neo Moon as she looked around, "They should be here soon…"
"Sorry, I'm late!" shouted Neo Pluto as she teleported beside Neo Moon as the other scouts appeared too.
"And you're suppose the scout of time," joked Neo Moon earning a dark look from Neo Pluto.
"Clotho said to go on," said Neo Pluto continuing, "She said she'll meet us in the future."
"Future?" repeated Sailor Mars, "You're from the future?"
"Yeah, I'm Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask's daughter," said Neo Moon watching everyone's face become very shocked, "And Terri, Sailor Neo Pluto is the daughter of Trista, Sailor Pluto."
Before anyone could asked questions, Neo Pluto pulled out the Crystal Time Key.
"We better get moving," she said as she held up the key, "Crystal Key, take us the Crystal Palace."
The Neo Scouts, Generals, Knights, Helios and the two Fates blasted the mirror paredory out of their way. They had to reach the throne room quickly.
"We should split up," said Neo Venus as she took control as leader, "It will be easier to reach the throne room in groups."
Solar Moon Knight shook his head, "No, if we're going to beat Neherenia, we have to stick together or at least you girls should."
"He's right," agreed Malachite, "You all should go ahead and we'll stay behind and fight."
"But…" started Neo Venus, but was cut off as Atropos pulled her along.
"Helios," said Solar Moon Knight as he turned to the priest of Elusion, "You should go too. They'll need your help."
Helios nodded and ran off the catch up with the Neo Scouts.
"Okay, time to get rid of these creeps," said Jupiter Knight, "Jupiter Thunder Dice Roll!'
Inside the throne room:
Neherenia smiled triumphantly. She had surprised the queens and kings and trapped them within mirrors quickly. All she had left was to take care of Neo Queen Serenity and King Endyimon, who stood ready to protect in front of his wife.
"Neherenia," said the queen, "How did you escape?
"My daughter freed me," replied Neherenia with a dark smile, "Now I can destroy you both. Pity your little brat isn't around so I could destroy her too."
"Mercury Ice Crystals Attack!" "Mars Spiral Fireballs Singe! ""Jupiter Thunderbird Strike!" Venus Heartbeat Vibration!" "Uranus Sky Shaking!" "Neptune Water Typhoon!" "Saturn Silence Glaive Drop!" "Lachesis Destiny Harp!" "Atropos Destiny Arrow!"
Neherenia screamed in surprise as she was attacked from behind. Turning around she saw the Neo Scouts and two Fates standing there, ready to fight. Angry at being attacked, Neherenia created a some dark lighting and throws it at the scouts.
Sailor Lachesis and Atropos shield the scouts, with their bodies.
"What are you two doing?" shouted Neo Saturn as she watched the two block the attack.
"You guys have to stop her," said Lachesis, "We'll do the best we can to protect you guys."
Neherenia laughed, "You're too weak!"
She makes her attack even stronger, finally the two Fates collapse, too weak to fight any more.
Sailor Neo Venus is about to attack when she is grabbed by three mirror paredory. So is all the other Neo Scouts.
Neherenia smiled, "That should hold you for a while." Then she turned to face Neo Queen Serenity and King Endyimon.
"Time for you to die, White Moon Princess, no the Queen," taunted Neherenia.
"You'll have to go through me first," stated Endyimon.
Neherenia laughed, "That won't be a challenge, king!"
"Pink Lady's Freezing Kiss!" shouted Sailor Neo Moon as she used her Neo Tier to blast Neherenia.
Neherenia is taken by surprise and injured as Sailor Neo Moon, Neo Pluto and the Sailor Scouts appear.
"Small Lady!" shouted Serenity and Endyimon as their daughter raced over to them.
Neherenia growled angrily as she watched Sailor Neo Moon run toward her parents. I will not be defeated again, she thought as she raised her hand and throwing dark energy at Neo Moon.
"RINI!" screamed Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask.
"SMALL LADY!" screamed Serenity and Endyimon.
"PRINCESS!" screamed the Neo Scouts.
"MAIDEN!" screamed Helios.
Sailor Neo Moon turned her head, but was too late. The blast hit her and brought her Pink Moon Crystal out of her brooch as she screamed in pain.
Neherenia laughed wickedly as the scouts and princesses watched in horror as the king, queen and priest rushed to Sailor Neo Moon's side.
To Be Continued……
Next Time: Neherenia transforms into Sailor Neherenia and challenges Sailor Moon and the scouts. But will Sailor Moon be able to survive? Is Sailor Clotho return to help and fight? Will Sailor Neo Moon wake up and reclaim the Pink Moon Crystal? And what of the appearance of a new soldier and Luna, Artemis and Diana's transformation into humans? I'll show you in Chapter 25: Final Battle of Light and Darkness - Pt 2.
