A/N: SailorKMoonie, yeah I know I'm evil. MAHHHHHH! No, I'm not really evil, I just thought a cliffhanger would be good. So please don't kill me…
Chapter 25: Final Battle of Light and Darkness Pt 2As the Planetary Knights and Generals fought against the mirror paredory, they discovered quickly, that the paredory could regenerate quickly.
"Won't these things ever die?" complained Uranus Knight as he blast two more paredoty with his sword, "They just keep on growing and growing in numbers."
"They must have some type of weakness," said Sapphire as he destroyed a paredory, "Michael can you use the Deep Sea Mirror to find out?"
"I'll try," replied Neptune Knight as Pluto Knight guarded his back, "Submarine Reflection!"
The blue mirror glowed as Neptune Knight reflected the light at the mirror paredory. Nothing glowed or showed their weakness.
"Uh, what happened?" asked Jadeite, "Isn't suppose to show their weakness?"
"That's strange," mumbled Neptune Knight as he looked at the mirror, "They don't seem to have a weakness."
Just then a mirror paredory ran to attack, but a chain hit it and killed the paredory. Sailor Clotho ran forth, with eight guys following in her wake.
"Hey, are you guys okay?" asked Clotho as she appeared by Solar Moon Knight's side.
"Yeah, but who are they?" asked Solar Moon Knight looking at the men standing behind her.
Clotho smiled, "You'll see in minute, but where is the others?"
Neo Queen Serenity knelt by her daughter's side. The blast that Neherenia had attack her with, had taken her crystal and…
No, that hadn't happened to her. Small Lady was still alive. A tear slid down the queen's face as she prayed for the best. King Endyimon put his arm around his wife's shoulder.
Neherenia laughed as she held the Pink Moon Crystal in her hand. Now she had the power, even more power than before to defeat Sailor Moon and Serenity once and for all. There would be no future for the White Moon Princess.
Closing her eyes, Neherenia felt a swirl of dark energy surround her body, transforming her long midnight black gown, into a sailor suit, all black.
"Now I too am a scout," she thought, "Sailor Neherenia."
Sailor Neherenia turned to Neo Queen Serenity and a black staff appeared in her hands. She raised it high above her head and smashed it down onto the ground, sending a powerful attack of dark energy at the queen. Just as the attack was about to hit, a crystal enclosed upon the queen and king, shielding them from the attack.
Neherenia saw Helios, who was kneed down and praying to protect the king and his wife. She scowled at her bad luck on destroying the two, but then noticed Sailor Moon who had been watching this the whole time with Tuxedo Mask. A plan started to build itself in Neherenia's head. A wicked smile slowly spread itself upon her face. She new how to destroy Sailor Moon once and for all. All she had to do is get rid of some scouts, starting with her beloved Tuxedo Mask.
Raising her staff once again and smacking it onto the ground, Neherenia sent more dark energy at Tuxedo Mask.
"Serena, move!" shouted Tuxedo Mask pushing Sailor Moon out of harm's way.
"DARIEN!" screamed Sailor Moon as the blast hit him.
Tuxedo Mask closed his eyes, expecting to feel the feeling of death upon him. Instead he heard the anguish yell of pain. Opening his eyes quickly, he saw Malachite, Zoycite, Nephrite and Jadeite, his four generals protecting him.
"We won't let you get hurt," said Jadeite as the blast hit him as Sailor Neo Mars screamed.
"We betrayed you before, causing you to die," added Nephrite as his jacket was ripped by the blast.
"This time we won't let it happen," continued Zoycite wincing at the pain that ran threw his body.
"We promise," swore Malachite trying not look like his was in pain.
The black energy engulfed the four; Tuxedo Mask shielded his eyes from the darkness. As the darkness died down, the four generals were no longer there. Instead they were trapped within four mirrors. Neherenia's lips curled in a smile.
"Oh well, " she thought, "At least I got rid of those traitors. Now to get rid of the scouts once and for all."
Pointing her staff toward the eight scouts, eight black beams shot out of her staff and headed toward each scout.
Mercury shaded her arms in front of her, unable to move. Closing her eyes tightly she prepared to get hit.
"Sword of Mercury Drown this Evil in Ice!" came a voice as a splash of ice froze the black beam that head for Mercury.
"FIRE SWORD BLAZE!" A ball of fire countered the beam heading for Sailor Mars.
"JUPITER LIGHTING CHARGE!" Bolts of lighting came out of nowhere and protected Jupiter from the beam.
"CRESCENT LIGHT SWORD SMASH!" A laser like beam hit the beam that was heading from Venus.
"URANUS SHOCKWAVE STRIKE!" A blast of rock and wind hit the beam and destroyed it before even getting close to Sailor Uranus.
"NEPTUNE SEA SWORD ARISE!" A blast of water blasted the beam away from Neptune.
"PLUTO SOUL SWORD SEAL!" A ghost like attack blasted away the beam, surprising Sailor Pluto.
"SILENCE SWORD SHIELD!" A barrier appeared protecting Saturn from the blast.
Neherenia spun around to face Sailor Clotho and eight knights. Each Knight held a sword in their hands and wore a different colored tuxedo. A grin formed on Clotho's face.
"Clotho!" shouted Neo Pluto.
Clotho winked, "Sorry I took so long, I had to round up some knights."
"No way…" rambled Neo Mercury.
"It's our dads," finished Neo Saturn staring in surprise at the knights.
Neherenia cursed. Now she was out number too much. Counting she found out there were nine scouts including Sailor Moon, eight Neo Scouts, nine Knights including Tuxedo Mask, nine Neo Knights, one Sailor Fate and Helios who was praying to keep Sailor Neo Moon safe. There were 37 scouts here! Neherenia was about to scream. She had to get rid of them. An idea started to form in her head.
Twirling her staff above her head, dark energy started to gather in it. Then she pointed it at Sailor Moon releasing the energy at the blonde sailor.
"Sailor Moon! Block it!" shouted Sailor Mars.
Sailor Moon just stood there, not knowing what to do. Sailor Neo Pluto whispered, "Pluto Sonic Blast!"
Her attacked protected Sailor Moon from getting hurt.
"Thanks Sailor Neo Pluto," thanked Sailor Moon thankfully.
Then she took off her tiara, "Moon Tiara Magic!"
Neherenia laughed as she jumped out of the way of the tiara's path, "You think your little magic trick will be able to stop me, White Moon Princess?"
The Moon Tiara spun right back round, slicing threw Neherenia's staff and landing in Sailor Moon's out stretched hand. Neherenia's face began angry at Sailor Moon's action.
"Even without my staff, I can still destroy you!" she shouted raising her hand and using her power to knock Sailor Moon against a wall.
Sailor Moon slowly got to her feet, "I won't let you win."
Sailor Neo Moon's Dream:
Rini (in her civilian clothes) stood in what seemed to be a palace. It was deserted and a dark mist gloomed over the place. Slowly, she walked through the palace, finally coming to a balcony. Looking out, she could see Earth and the sun.
"Wait," thought Rini to herself, "Am I on the moon?"
A cry interrupted her thought. Rini turned around and heard even more cries coming from within the palace. Someone must be hurt, thought Rini as she ran threw the palace.
As she ran down a hall, the cries grew louder and louder. Finally coming from inside a closed door. Rini opened up the door and found a little girl inside. She had bright red hair and blue eyes. Her hair was done in two heart shaped buns and tears ran down her face. She was wearing a cute little sailor outfit that Rini had used to wear when she was younger. The little girl looked about four or five years old. By her side was a black cat shaped ball with a crescent moon on it.
"Luna Ball?" said Rini in surprise.
The little girl looked up and stopped crying, "No, that's not my name."
Rini walked over and kneeled down by the girl, "Are you okay, little girl?"
"No, I'm not okay," replied the girl, "I'm all alone, Mommy and Daddy are gone and I'm scared."
"You're not alone anymore," replied Rini, "I'm here. My name is Rini."
"I'm Anne," replied the girl with a small smile, "And this is Luna Ball."
Rini nodded already knowing who Luna Ball was.
"What are you doing here, Anne?" she asked, "Do you live here?"
"Uh, huh. I live here with Mommy and Daddy and my brother too," replied Anne standing up, "But Mommy and Daddy and my brother are trapped."
"They are?" replied Rini feeling sorry for the little girl.
"Yeah, the bad lady trapped them," said Anne as she started to cry again, "She has Mommy's crystal."
"Don't worry, I'll get your parents back, Anne," replied Rini standing up.
Anne stopped crying, "You will?"
"Sure," said Rini with a smile, "You know, Anne. My parents once got trapped and someone helped me save them."
"Who?"
"Sailor Moon."
"Sailor Moon?"
"Don't tell me you've never heard of Sailor Moon?"
"I have heard of her, but Mommy tells me stories of Sailor Mini Moon/ Sailor Neo Moon. She told me that Sailor Neo Moon saved her once."
Rini smiled to herself. She was becoming fond of Anne who seemed pretty brave for a little kid.
"Lets go find your parents, Anne," said Rini taking the little girl's hand.
Anne nodded happily and led Rini to where her parents were.
Throne Room:
"Anne, where exactly are we? I mean are we on Earth?" asked Rini as the walked through the halls and toward the throne room where Anne's parents were.
Anne shook her head, "No, silly. We're on the Moon. After the big explosion on Earth, my parents came to the moon with all of the Earth people."
"What happened to Earth?" questioned Rini.
"Some wicked lady destroyed it and a Sailor Scout blew it up," replied Anne.
"What happened to the scouts? Are they still alive?" asked Rini fearfully.
Anne shrugged, "I think they're all dead. I'm not really sure. Mommy doesn't like to talk about it. No one does."
"Oh."
Rini was silent for a long time, not really listening to Anne's chatter.
Finally Anne and Rini entered the throne room. Everything inside was white. The floor and walls were covered in marble and the throne was carpeted in white velvet. In the corner was a polished pedestal. Anne noticed Rini staring at it.
"That's where Mama's crystal is suppose to go," explained Anne.
Rini nodded taking in the information. Suddenly a dark shadow began to form in front of them. Anne hid behind Rini as the shadow took form of Neherenia.
"Neherenia!" shouted Rini angrily, "Did you do this?"
"Yes, I did," replied Neherenia, as her cold eyes had no emotion in them.
"Release Anne's parents and brother!" demanded Rini.
"Why? I don't see a point to," replied Neherenia, "You can't make me. You no longer have the power to stop me."
"We'll see!" said Rini angrily, "Pink Moon Crystal Power!"
Nothing happened. Rini stood with her hand reaching toward the heavens. Neherenia laughed as Rini tried to figure out what had went wrong.
"What happened?" thought Rini, "Did I say the wrong phrase?"
"As I said before, you no longer have the power," said Neherenia as Rini's Pink Moon appeared in her hand, "I have the power now!"
Rini's face became pale as her hand dropped to her side and she fell to her knees, her eyes were now vacant of emotion. Anne tugged on Rini's shoulder.
"Come on Rini! You have to beat her!" said Anne as she tugged on Rini's shirt.
"What's the point? I don't have the crystal, Anne, she does. She's more powerful."
"But you promised…" started Anne.
"I know I promised!" said Rini angrily scaring Anne, "But there's nothing I can do!"
"Believe in yourself," replied Anne, "You won't lose you are a Sailor Scout. I believe in you."
Rini stared at Anne for a moment. Then Anne continued, "I believe in you, Rini. A princess yet a soldier, protected by the moon's serene light, with the power of two shall shine light onto the fight. With the power of two crystals and planets' holy power, the soldier in eternal slumber shall awaken. With the power of healing and light, she shall heal the pains of sorrow, loss and power, but a new home will be born from Cosmic Moon Power."
"Enough!" shouted Neherenia as she raised her hand and used her power to hurt Anne.
"ANNE!' screamed Rini as she reached out her hand for the little girl's.
"RINI!" shouted Anne as she reached out for Rini's but missed and disappeared into a black hole.
Tears filled Rini's eyes as Anne's cries echoed. Standing up, with tears still in her eyes she cried out "Pink Moon Crystal Power!"
In Present:
Sailor Neo Moon's body became bright white as power ran through her body. Slowly she awoke and stood up. Everyone gasped in surprise.
"No, how could she!" thought Neherenia staring at Sailor Neo Moon, "I have her crystal! She should still be trapped in a nightmare."
"I won't let you win, Neherenia," said Sailor Neo Moon in a deadly tone, "You will pay for hurting her."
"Hurting who? The only people I've hurt are the ones around you," said Neherenia, "And plus I have your crystal."
"So it was a dream?" thought Neo Moon, "Anne was just part of my dream…"
In another part of the palace:
"But Mama, I have to go help Small Lady," said Diana as Luna and Artemis held her back.
"No, Diana. It's too dangerous," replied Luna, "You might get hurt."
"Luna, she is right," interrupted Artemis, "They do need help."
"But what can we do?" asked Luna.
"You can give them strength," said a voice from behind them.
Luna, Artemis and Diana turned to see a bright light surround them.
Back at the fight:
"Mercury Ice Bubbles Freeze!" "Mars Firebird Strike!" "Jupiter Thunder Dragon!" "Venus Meteor Shower!" "Moon Scepter Elimination!" "Uranus World Shaking!" "Neptune Deep Submerge!" "Pluto Deadly Scream!" "Saturn Silence Glaive Surprise!"
The nine attacks hit Neherenia, but caused no damage. Neo Moon watched hopelessly as the scouts fought hard as they could. Sailor Neo Mercury and Neo Jupiter fired their attacks together along with Neo Saturn and Uranus. Neo Venus and Neo Pluto combined their attacks along with their brothers. Neo Mars and Neo Neptune combined their attacks with the rest of the knight's but no affect. Neherenia just laughed at the attempts of the scouts. Neo Moon knew she could help defeat Neherenia, but she need her crystal to bring forth her Neo Tier.
"There must be some way to stop her," thought Neo Moon.
"Cosmos Galaxy Create!" came a feminine voice.
A huge blast, mix between light and energy hit Neherenia. A galaxy (which was the light/energy) had come from the staff of a sailor. It had angel wings on it and a silver orb. The sailor herself was like none Sailor Neo Moon had ever seen. She wore a white sailor suit, a multicolored skirt, colorful boots, her brooch was circular with an eight-pointed star on it and small angel wings. On the top of her skirt, another brooch (which was the exact same) was on her waist. Her sleeves had small wings on it; her choker was an eight stared. Angel wings were on her back; her hair was bright red and in heart shaped buns with jewels in them. Instead of a tiara an eight-pointed star was on her forehead.
Behind her, three figures appeared. A man with long white hair, piercing blue eyes and a crescent moon on his forehead that was wearing a long sleeve white shirt, matching pants and a crescent moon amulet. By his side was a woman with long curly black hair that was done in two buns. She wore black and yellow dress. She too had a crescent moon amulet and a crescent moon on her forehead. A girl about Rini's age had strange grey hair that was done in two buns that were split into two, she wore a white and yellow dress and like the two others, she had a crescent moon on her forehead and an crescent moon amulet.
"Small Lady!" said the girl with a smile.
Sailor Neo Moon did a double take, "D-Diana! L-Luna! A-Artemis! You're humans?!"
"Yes, she turned us into humans," said Luna motioning to the sailor.
The sailor smiled, "Hello again, Rini."
Sailor Neo Moon stared at the girl for a while. Then it hit her. She looked like…
"Anne! Or Aurora?" said Neo Moon.
The sailor laughed lightly, "Yes, I am Anne, Princess Aurora, the Moonlight Maiden, Sailor Mini Mini Moon, Light of Hope, Sailor Cosmos and many other titles."
"So you weren't a figment of my imagination," said Neo Moon.
Sailor Cosmos nodded, "No, I used my younger four year old self to appear to you as I did to Eternal Sailor Moon."
Sailor Neo Moon smiled. The appearance of Sailor Cosmos had suddenly given her strength to fight. Sailor Cosmos smiled.
"I am sorry I have to leave you, Mother," she said, "But Pluto has forbidden me to fight. I only wish to see you as a sailor. I will see you in the future."
With that a bright flash of light surrounded her and teleported her away, to the time she belonged in.
Sailor Neo Moon closed her eyes. Sailor Cosmos's voice still echoed through out her mind. "A princess yet a soldier, protected by the moon's serene light, with the power of two shall shine light onto the fight. With the power of two crystals and planets' holy power, a new home will be born from Cosmic Moon Power."
Opening her eyes, she knew what she had to do.
"Serena! Use the Silver Crystal against her!" shouted Neo Moon.
Sailor Moon nodded and cupped her hands in front of her brooch. The Silver Crystal slowly came out of her brooch, transforming her into Neo Queen Serenity!
A gasp of surprise and shock echoed through out the room. Neherenia's face became pale as she faced to the Queen.
"Mama," whispered Neo Moon.
Neo Queen Serenity turned to Neo Moon and smiled, "Lets destroy her once and for all."
"Yeah," said Neo Moon with a smile.
Suddenly her Neo Tier appeared in her hands, "But first I need to get something of mine. Pink Lady's Freezing Kiss!"
The attack hit Neherenia's hand, taking away the crystal from her. The crystal returned to Sailor Neo Moon, transforming her into Princess Rini, Small Lady Serenity.
Neherenia laughed, "I won't be destroyed by you! I have the power of the Shadow Crystal and you know of what power it holds, Helios, Luna, Artemis."
The faces of Luna, Artemis and Helios became darkened. Serenity turned to her loyal friends, "What is she talking about?"
"The Shadow Crystal is a small part of a greater crystal called the Chaos Crystal," explained Artemis, "This crystal is powerful enough to destroy a planet. Similar to the Imperial Silver Crystal."
"When your mother, Queen Serenity sealed Neherenia away. She made sure that the crystal's power was dormant. But, when Neherenia got hold of the Pink Moon Crystal, the Shadow Crystal awoke and is more powerful than the Imperial Silver Crystal," explained Luna.
"This time I will destroy you and the future!" laughed Neherenia as darkness surrounded her.
Everyone stared up at the darkness that was beginning to take over the city and the world…
To Be Continued…Next Time: The battle for Earth and the future of the planet is on! Neherenia and the power of the Shadow Crystal against Neo Queen Serenity's Imperial Silver Crystal and Princess Rini's Pink Moon Crystal. Which crystal's power will decide the fate of Earth?
