Chapter: Part 2
-
Thanks for joining me again for the finale of Kronos Generation. Once again this is a re-make of one of my stories. I really didn't like it and thought I could do much better so I'm sitting down and writing it over. Complete revision. The characters and concept are still the same but hopefully it's better than the first. This is based on the Manga version of Sailor Moon and the Japanese Anime. It is owned by Ms. Naoko Takeuchi. The other stuff like, characters, concept, etc. is mine.

It had been a few weeks since the escape at the hospital. Wakana was back to her normal self. Quiet around strangers, firey and domineering around her newly returned friend Misako. But she knew this couldn't go on like this. Half of her wanted to get away from this. Just let go of all the mind-bending chaos. The other half wanted answers. She couldn't be kept in the dark with her own life. She also felt somewhat responsible for the dangers that lied ahead. That is what brought her to Hikawa Shrine that day.
It was raining that day. The tempest storm was one of the worst in ages. It was a sign from the gods. The rain was their tear as they watched the disaster approach. The thunder was the meaningless plea to try to stop the coming of destruction. And the lightning was flash of hope that came from so very view. CRACK! A bolt of lightning sliced through the air above Wakana's head. This made her jump. She looked back down at the damp Hello Kitty stationary. She covered it as best she could with her raincoat, but smudges in the ink were unavoidable. But she didn't care. She continued to write with fury.
"Excuse me? What are you doing here?" A sharp tone broke her concentration as she looked up to identify the voice. She was right in her guessing. It was Rei, the exact person she was waiting for.
"Who do you think you are?" The aggressive side of the auburn haired girl was showing. She jumped up in fury " I know those disgusting filthy birds are yours. You sent them. You-"
"Don't you dare! If you don't want to accept the fact that you might be worth something as one of us then you just go right ahead! You do not have to do this! But I swear to god that you will regret it!"
"Us? So your one of those freaks too? Well let me tell you something I don't need to! This is not my responsibility!" With that she snatched up her bag and letter and protested by trying to walk of. She failed. The short-tempered priestess stopped her, with a hand and a solemn expression.
"Look, Phobos and Deimos are my friends. And I know they would never do anything to hurt anyone. So please help them. There is only so much I can do for them. I'm not their princess. You are." She turned around, with somewhat bashfulness in her expression. "I thought about making them guardians. For my planet and me. They would guard the moons that orbit Mars, the astral body I rule...ruled. But I'm soon going to loose my role as Sailor Mars. Just like the rest of the soldiers of this solar system. Until the Ginzuishou shines it's light once more in the 30th Century." Wakana looked at the girl's back in bewilderment, as Rei turned around. What the hell was she talking about? Ginzuishou? 30th Century? Wakana thought she even heard the mention of Mars. But even with the confused look upon Wakana's face, Rei turned around and continued on. "So that's why you have to do this. They need someone to protect them. To train them to be soldiers. To protect their home...our home." She looked in Wakana's eyes.
"I can't. I know nothing about the sailor soldiers, this crow hag, or how to save the world. You would only be putting your birds and this planet in danger if you left it up to me. I'm sorry I can't have anything to do with your cause." The girl had reverted back to her shy self. She felt so beat up inside. She WOULD help...if there was some other way. Her life was so normal just a few weeks ago. Now look at her? In this distress she pushed pass the Shinto Priestess and started running when she heard from behind her, "Mars crystal Power! Make-Up!" Even turned around Wakana saw the myriad of lights and flashes going on behind her. She turned around only to be greeted by the Pretty Soldier of Fire and Passion herself, Sailor Mars. She looked in bewilderment. She had never seen anything so spectacular, yet so unreal.
"Fight me! Sailor Soldier to Sailor Soldier! Sailor Mars to Sailor Kronos!" She wasn't kidding. Her eyes said it all.
"Excuse me? I don't think so." Wakana chuckled as she turned around and she heard only the swish of the sailor senshi jumping into the air to meet her face to face. Wakana was mad. She was one of those strong and stubborn leaders that didn't back down from a challenge when she had a hostile opponent. She had kept it in her pocket for a very long time. She didn't know why but she was glad she had it now. She yanked out the black star brooch, as words welled up in her heart. Before she could even have second thoughts about what she was about to do she shouted:
"Kronos Star Power! Make-Up!" In an array of light that resembled fire, and in a fury of feathers, she was transformed into Sailor Kronos. And this time at her own choice. But something that differed from last time was in her hand was a wand of some sort. A tribal stick that was decorated in a more feminine way than a barbaric way. On the top however, where some sort of orb would be placed, was a red ribbon. This must be a weapon of some sort.
"Face the facts! I am more powerful than you!" With that she jumped up and yelled out her Mars Flame Sniper attack. The flaming arrow came down slicing a smallest piece of hair out Wakana's high ponytail. Realizing the battle begun and there were no words bubbling up to use this weapon, she scrambled to her feet. The term running for your life applies here. As she ran in the pouring rain, the other soldier chased her, chanting a Shinto spell of some sort, Ofuda Scroll in hand. She had to get out of this. But how was the only question. Then she thought of it. Just because she didn't have any attack words didn't mean that the weapon was totally worthless. In an instant she turned around to face the other senshi. This bold movement surprised Sailor Mars, making her slip and fall in the wet and muddy grass. She looked up to see the intimidating expression of Sailor Kronos towering over her. In her mind she thought, I pray that this works. Please let this work. She raised up her weapon, closed her eyes, and struck!
"Hahahahahahahahaha!" Wakana opened her eyes to see the sailor soldier on the ground laughing, ribbon in hand. Sailor Kronos had manages to fling a totally normal piece of ribbon at the girl. She stepped back, planning to retreat at any time. She was interrupted in her panic thoughts when Sailor Mars said, "I don't think so." She stood up, ribbon still in hand and said, "Let the real games begin." As she closed this sentence up, she gripped the ribbon even tighter than she was holding it before, yanked it as hard as her might would allow her, and sent the Sailor Soldier of Fire and Birds flying. She hit the side of the temple with massive force as she let out a sharp cry of agony. She could feel the sharp splinters in her shoulders and she sank to the ground in pain.
Inside the temple, Rei's grandfather was sitting in his recliner drinking tea and watching a movie. Suddenly he heard a huge impact from the left side of his house he looked around then started to laugh. "Oh that Rei must be out playing with one of her friends again. HA HA HA! Maybe it's that Usagi girl. Most likely. HA HA HA!" Then he stopped laughing. "Or else something died." With this statement he started laughing as he relaxed back in his chair.
Outside, Wakana squeezed her shoulder in searing pain. Her whole back was bleeding and scratched up, but she only had enough energy to reach for her shoulder. She felt the sharp wood jab into her bare flesh and the raindrops sting her open wounds. She looked up to see the smiling face of Rei; not Sailor Mars.
Inside the temple, Wakana lay on Rei's bed as the priestess finished wrapping her wounds. She sat up feeling at least ninety percent better. She looked up at the raven-haired girl reluctantly. "Guess I win. Wait right here and I'll get Phobos and Deimos. I can't go with you but I can tell you the plan." She stepped out of the room leaving Wakana alone to lay in misery on the girl's bed. She really had to do this. She wasn't just about to run away. She did agree to it when she transformed. And she did transform. Which meant that she was meant to do this. But how could she defeat an enemy when she didn't even know how to work her weapon? She sighed, as the screen doors were ripped open. Wakana sat up quickly and to her relief it was only Rei. But the expression she had on her face did not make the butterflies in her stomach go away.
"What is it? What's wrong?" Wakana stood-up and spoke with a very concerned tone.
"Phobos and Deimos...they're gone!
-
She walked with a mission, a purpose if you will. She had accepted her destiny. She felt like she truly wanted to save them even though she just meant them. Phobos and Deimos. It was raining even harder. The thunder boomed in the background as lightning lit the sky. The fully transformed soldier knew what she had to do. Sailor Kronos' orders from Rei still rang in her ears.
"They must have gone to comfront Lead Crow because they thought you wouldn't help. Listen, that woman that tried to strangle you? That is Sailor Lead Crow. She destroyed your planet so Galaxia would give her a star seed. Her power lies within the bracelet on her wrist. It is a remnant from when Galaxia controlled her. It contains all of the powers Galaxia once gave her. Destroy that, and she's dead. Now go you must find Phobos and Deimos."
"How will I know where they are? And how do I fight?"
"Trust yourself. Words will come. As long as the will to fight burns strong you will find a way. As for finding them that is no problem. They are your sailor soldiers in training. They will one-day rule a celestial body, maybe even the moons on Mars. And you will be responsible for it. That gives you a special bond with them. Look for them in your mind. Reach out for them."
And she did. Sailor Kronos had searched for them. And she knew their exact whereabouts. It was an old bank that had burn down. It still stood but was scorched and dangerous to be in. That's where they were. That was Lead Crow's lair. They were on the fourth floor of the six-story building. And she would save them. She would by all means take Lead Crow down.
Let me stop for a moment and tell you that Wakana has fully awakened the powers of Sailor Kronos. Her past has come back to her. She remembers all experiences and memories of her rule on Kronos. Most importantly she remembers her emotions. Her strong will, short temper, determined personality. But above all that she remembered revenge. She would punish the traitor that took her life and put them in danger. Her daughters... Phobos and Deimos... That being said back to the story.
She stood outside the monstrous oak doors. They were burnt and were the dark color of ash. She looked up at the entire building soaking in all of its glory. She couldn't waste any more time. She bolted through the doors and ran in.
-
Screams ripped through the enormous lobby on the fourth floor. The fight had resulted in massive pain, mainly for Phobos and Deimos. Phobos lay on the ground her leg very weak. Deimos was next to her. She couldn't let her rest, even though she wanted to so bad. They both were required to fuel the attack they shared.
"Give up? I took Kronos' Sailor Crystal once and I'll gladly take it again." This threatening and maniacal voice came from the devastating Sailor Lead Crow. "And you know, I'm sure Galaxia wouldn't mind your star seeds as an addition to her collection.
"You bitch!" This came out of Deimos's mouth with such fury and hatred that you could almost see distain dripping from her lips.
"I'm the bitch? Oh, somebody's going to have to teach you manners you little wench." She raised her hands getting ready to launch her "Galatica Twister" attack. However, with all of the energy she could muster, the injured Phobos raised up her leg and kicked as hard as her body would allow her to. Her aim was perfect, in that she hit right at Lead Crows stomach. After a yell of pain, the evil sailor soldier was on the floor about five yards away. She started to get up, even though they could tell that it was a major blow because of the surprise it had on her.
"Pick me up and lets attack!" Phobos exclaimed a look of danger in her eyes.
"You don't have enough energy to. I'll use my arrow attack. It-"
"No! That's not strong enough. NOW LETS GO!" The look of power in Phobos's eyes spoke for itself. Following orders Deimos picked her up as if she was a princess, and in the loudest voice that there bodies would allow them they yelled at the now charging Lead Crow, "Dragon Top!" In a flash of orange light the two girls began spinning, spiraling around. Sailor Lead Crow stopped in her tracks. The two twins twisted and turned to an ultra violent speed. Before Lead Crow could manage to dodge the oncoming assault, the top like attack hit the fake soldier knocking her into the wall. The impact created a lot of dust but afterwards, they saw Sailor Lead Crow laugh even though she was bleeding.
"Don't fake us out! We know that you took that blow full on!" Deimos spat the words out at the fallen warrior.
The soldier continued to chuckle. Soon the slight giggle became a maniacal laugh. "Do you really think I don't know that?" With that she jumped up only about a yard away from them in a flash. "The better question is do I care? You're attack may have hit me, but it was so pathetic that its not hard to just just ignore it." With that a whip materialized and she slashed the girls backward into the opposite wall. Phobos's body couldn't handle much more and she lost consciousness. Deimos wasn't much better. "Well now that this is over..."
"Think again." The voice came from behind Lead Crow. She spun around in fury, only to be met with the empty room. She looked around, her eyes as sharp as hawks.
"Quit playing games...you won't WIN!" She spun around and shouted "Galactica Twister". From her whip came a fiery current of wind that hit a nearby pillar. One that had nobody near it.
"Wrong!" The sound came again from behind her. This time when she turned around she saw her. Sailor Kronos. She didn't know how it could be. The soldier of this time had rejected her destiny. "I am the Pretty Soldier of Fire and Birds... SAILOR KRONOS. As Princess of the Kronos Star, you will be punished for your crimes." She held her ribbon up and whipped it into the air. It straightened and flattened out as it extended to strike Lead Crow. The evil sailor soldier fell to the ground in pain from the pitiful looking weapon. She wasn't about to be defeated by a decoration.
"You are the one that's going to pay. This time you will...STAY DEAD!" She launched her attack at the pillar, causing it to collapse and injure Sailor Kronos majorly. It was an all out war. The two whip-like weapons clashed and the two fought. Kronos used hers as a sword when it was flattened, while Lead Crow launched her attack. It was a fight that resembled so long ago. It was exactly like the fight on Kronos. Sailor Kronos' last fight against Sailor Lead Crow. Before Lead Crow took the Kronos Star by force. And they both knew the eerie likeness of both battles. As Sailor Kronos thought of this, she was caught of guard by the enemy's attack and thrown to the ground right in front of her children. Deimos squeezed her sister in an even tighter embrace than before. Her eyes were full of emotion as she watched her injured mother struggle to get to her feet.
"You know? We are replaying the battle from long ago. Why must it be like this?" Kronos choked out the words from behind tears. "Why must you kill? For power? Just so you may be a Sailor Soldier? Why? You are killing your friends of long ago. Your...dear princess..." She trailed off remembering the long ago times. Lead Crow only chuckled.
"I thought you were the one who wasn't going to forgive me? Sailor Senshi are so hypocritical." She began to laugh evilly once more.
"Fine. You've made your choice. But I promise you this battle will end differently then the last time!" She yelled out, standing weakly to her feet and raised her weapon. Suddenly, Sailor Lead Crow raised her hands and a black orb appeared. As if it was a signal, the ribbon started to decay. Before Sailor Kronos could look back up, it had disappeared right out of her hands.
"Crows are the pariahs of the bird kingdom. They are said to be dark omens. Said to deserve nothing more than to feast on the decaying flesh of other animals." She chuckled. "Which grants ME the power to decay the flesh. NOW DISAPPEAR!" As she screamed she thrust her hands in front of her. An enormous black orb appeared in front of her. It was gigantic, bigger than any one of the fallen pillars around them.
"DEATH RAVEN VORTEX!" At lightning speed the ball of dark energy was released from its holding position. Without even thinking, Sailor Kronos jumped out of the way and fell on the floor. As her head impacted on the cement she heard a scream of pain and death. She turned around, in fear that what she thought had come true. Where Phobos and Deimos once lay, was now nothing more than a crater. Sailor Kronos started to twitch. The impact of the attack was much too strong for the sprites and killed them. Poor Wakana crawled to the massive hole, and could not hold back the tears. She screamed in grief but not until other emotions took over. Until her face had hardened into stone. She shot a menacing glance at Lead Crow. In all of her fury she lunged at the evil bitch and threw furious punches at her. All of them were unsuccessful. In one switch blow, Sailor Lead Crow took her whip and knocked the poor soldier to the ground. "It's your turn." In an instant she launched her deadly attack, forcing Wakana to scream in utmost agony as she lay there, clothed tattered, bleeding to death. Her breaths were short as she watched the evil senshi walk towards her.
"Remember what you used to tell us long ago." Phobos.
"To always bring hope into your heart." Deimos.
"In black times, always make sure the gold aura is around you." Rei.
"Forever bring the light of the Sailor Crystal to battle." The legendary Neo Queen Serenity. She had never met her before but she just knew it was she. And she was right. They were all right. That is the last thing she said to her troops before the attack on her planet. She must remember those words. Sailor Crystal. The Kronos Star.
"Kronos Princess Crystal Shine! Make-Up!" The injured girl yelled this at the top of her lungs, despite her condition. Sailor Lead Crow stopped, dead in her tracks as she stood in awe. The wounded senshi was rising from the floor. In a white shining light she had transformed. She was Princess Kronos. She wore a black and red gown, with golden chain straps. Her wrists each had a black and red star bracelet. Her auburn hair flowed loose and on her forehead was a winged star. "My last words to you are this Crow." The women's voice was deeper, maturer than her previous form. She looked down and her eyes softened. "I forgive you." In that moment a staff with a golden base and red angel wings in the center appeared. On the top of the winged stick was a black orb with a red start on the middle. Like a starfish attached to a rock in the sea.
"SILVER HARPY AURORA KISS!" In a rainbow of colors a stream of light, like the Northern lights appeared. It flooded the entire building, the light extending miles away. Lead Crow screamed as she began to disinigrate back to Hell. In her final moments she said, "REMEMBER THIS KRONOS! I COULD REVIVE MY POWER ONCE I CAN DO IT AGAIN! MY DESIRE FOR A SAILOR CRYSTAL WILL NEVER END! KRONOS!"
Over the loud destruction that was happening around her, Kronos said softly,"You looked like Wakana's mother." The next moment, the building was only rubble. The princess lay naked in the debris. She was once again Wakana.
She was only awoken a few moments later by somewhat of a shimmering sound of revival. She looked up dazed and saw the form of Phobos and Deimos materialize. "Phobos, Deimos, where have you been? Both Rei and I were worried." She looked up at the too, very concerned but still happy to see them.
"Mother, what about Sailor Lead Crow? Remember?" Deimos looked worried as she starred at the confused girl.
"Mother?" The poor schoolgirl was even more confused.
"Don't you remem-," Phobos held a hand out to silence her.
"She means you look like our mother." She said this with regret in her voice as she exchanged a sorrowful glance with her sister.
"I bet she was a beautiful woman. On the inside, as well as the outside." She looked at the to with a tender gaze.
"She was," said Deimos. "She was a great ruler. Angel of the Aurora." She choked back tears. "She saved many people, and so did you. You are the Savior of the Kronos Star." The two twins bent down and kissed their mother on the cheek.
-
Wakana stood at the post office mailbox, Hello Kitty envelope in hand. She stared blankly at the mailbox, thinking. She had gone through so much over the past weeks. Injuries, destiny, forgetting everything. Phobos and Deimos explained to Wakana that she had come just at the right time and killed Sailor Lead Crow before she could kill the twins. However, before Crow died she set of explosives, in hopes that if she died, she would bring Sailor Kronos down with her. But through the powers of Wakana's Sailor Crystal she was protected. Throughoutt love. She snapped out of her daze and brought the letter up to her lips and kissed it.
"I wanted to write this letter to you to tell you I didn't need you anymore. That I could live without you. The void where a mother's love should be didn't affect me anymore. When I wrote this it was a lie. It still ate away at my heart. But I can say truthfully now that I don't need you. I have a purpose. Comrades that love me. For me. Not under any obligation. And I am important. No matter what you used to say I am. I have a destiny. I am a star. Surrounded by love. I am Kronos...hope." With these thoughts swirling around in her head, she ripped the door open to the mailbox and threw the letter at it. She ran as fast as she could, a smile on her face. And once she got home, before she walked into the warm embrace of her family she said, "But I forgive you, mommy."
Back at the mailbox, her letter lay one the ground. She had missed. It was addressed to Crow Doi.

Ok, so there you have it. Thanks for reading. I really do appreciate it. And I really, REALLY, hope you take the time to review this story so it will encourage others to read it too! Also I know that in the Japanese manga Kronos was spelled Coronis. But this is based on the MIXX manga, and that's how they spelled it. This is the end for now. I may do a sequel but I'm not completely sure. Just so you know, this was done by me a few years ago, and was a horrible one-shot. I feel that I have done much better, but can still learn! I have two other pieces that I have also taken down. One is my next project called Not Just a Revival. This is a Princess Mononoke story about the aftermath of the Deer God's/Spirit of the Forest/Nightwalker (Jeez what a lot of names) death. That was only two chapters but I was still going to continue it. My second one was a Neon Genesis Evangelion fic called Final Choices that started out as a Choose your own adventure story, but then I was kindly notified that that wasn't allowed by another user. So I have other plans for it revolving around the first part that I wrote of it. That is also two parts (I like two part stories). So thanks again. Keep reading and writing!
