Chapter 21
As the three women appeared through the dimension they found themselves directly in front of a chair. There stood Mistress Nine holding the Holy Grail. "NO!" Neptune shouted. They looked around for Sailor Moon. She was a few feet away, they ran to her. "Baka!" Neptune shouted.
Uranus helped Usagi to her feet. There had been so many killings from this evil, people with pure hearts, the inner senshi and even Hotaru. Michiru thought about her aunt and rage filled her.
Mistress Nine stood tall laughing, "We will now take over this system! Pharaoh Ninety come and claim your prize!" They all watched as a dimensional portal appeared just above Mistress Nine, the walls started to crumble.
Sailor Pluto grabbed Sailor Moon and they made their way towards what they thought was an exit. It turned out to be a labratory.
Neptune and Uranus followed Pluto and they stared in shock at the many potential daimons which were in test tubes. Sailor Moon broke free from Pluto and ran to a corner "CHIBI-USA!"
There on a bench lay the lifeless body of Chibi-Usa, a soft purple glow was surrounding her. "She is still alive." The sign of Saturn glowed faintly on her body for a few seconds. The women looked at each other. Saturn was keeping Chibi-Usa alive.
That meant Saturn was still alive, they looked in the direction where Mistress Nine was. Neptune was the first to take off. "Princess stay here" Uranus told her and with Pluto ran after Neptune.
Neptune brought out her Aqua Mirror "Deep submerge!" The attack hit Mistress Nine and she fell back in surprise.
"Space Sword Blaster!"
"Dead Scream"
As the two other attacks hit their target they watched as Mistress Nine crumbled. Professor Tomoe stood behind her. He too had injured the long violet haired woman.
The senshi stared unsure of what to do. Professor Tomoe's hand was now like a tentacle and had gone straight through the woman's body. As the woman slumped to the ground she started to shrink in size.
Mistress Nine changed into Sailor Saturn. The girl looked exhausted. A black beam headed towards Saturn and entered her body. "Yes Master Pharaoh Ninety! Take her as host"
"Saturn No! Don't take her!" Sailor Moon was grabbed by the Guardian of Time as she tried to help her fallen warrior. Saturn looked up at the Princess and a purple light surrounded the girl. The symbol of Saturn glowed brightly and the Senshi had to shield their eyes. It was then that they heard crying.
"Baby?" Sailor Moon stared in wonder as she moved towards the infant who had once been the Senshi of Destruction.
"Usagi!" the other woman had been too occupied with this new development; they did not see Professor Tomoe move until it was too late. Uranus knocked the younger blonde out of the way and she received the blow that was meant for Sailor Moon. Everything else that happened was a blur.
Tomoe grabbed hold of baby Hotaru as the other women moved towards their fallen comrade.
"Haruka!" Neptune cried. The woman was no longer breathing. Her sword lay dull on the floor. Blood oozed from her fuku and a pool formed around her mid-riff.
"Neptune!" Pluto yelled. Neptune looked away from Uranus and saw that Professor Tomoe was nowhere to be seen. Instead; in front of the three women were dozens of daimons.
"Where did Professor Tomoe go?" Sailor Moon asked.
"He has long been dead! I am Germatoid!" All of the daimons started talking at once. The many Germatoid's all laughed as one and said they were going to make the baby another host as well as the pink haired girl they had. They boasted that with Pharaoh Ninety they would bring the Silence.
"But really where is Professor Tomoe? He couldn't have gone far?" The long blonde haired teenager asked. Pluto and Neptune looked at each other.
"Sailor Moon he is Professor Tomoe." Sailor Moon looked surprised then looked at the daimons.
"Dead Scream!"
"Submarine Reflection!"
"Rainbow Moon HeartAche!" The clones where wiped out in the blink of an eye. The original Germatoid holding baby Hotaru was now staring at them. Before anyone could move a step further the black light from Phaoroah Ninety filled the room. At the same moment Sailor Moon pulled out her ginzuishou. Germatoid was obliterated by the crystals bright light.
The Grail appeared in her hand where the ginzuishou had been. Hotaru floated in the air the ginzuishou holding her aloft before she was held in the arms of Sailor Neptune. In a flash of white light Sailor Moon turned into Princess Serenity.
"My friends are no longer of this world. I can not transform to defeat this evil. But I will not let this earth be taken over by anyone." Wings appeared from her back and she flew into the black light.
"Princess!" Sailor Neptune shouted. It was suicide.
"Neptune. Pluto." The two outer senshi turned around and stared as the fallen senshi were with them alive and well. They gasped in amazement as the outline of Sailor Saturn appeared between them and went inside Hotaru.
"She saved us." Mars told them gazing at the baby.
"We have to save Serenity." Pluto told them all. Venus couldn't possibly believe Usagi had gone into the black void. The Grail lay discarded on the floor beside Pluto's feet.
The senshi all held hands (Hotaru was placed on the floor between them) and gave all of their power to their Princess.
The Holy Grail filled with the senshi's power floated to the black hole where Serenity and Pharaoh Ninety were and disappeared from view.
Minutes passed as the girls waited. A butterfly landed on Hotaru's nose and she giggled softly. But there wasn't just the one butterfly but thousands. They all fluttered down around the warriors and the dimension portal where the Silence was going to come from; was no more.
Super Sailor Moon appeared from the sky. Butterfly wings dazzled on her back.
The young girl turned to the outer senshi. "Uranus, Neptune, Pluto and even you Saturn. You do not have to fight alone anymore. We are one team. Not two groups." Princess Serenity stood in front of her court and friends and thanked them.
Three months later
Michiru sat down in the hotel room; she was in the north of Japan touring. Setsuna was in Tokyo watching Hotaru who had grown slowly every day.
Because each woman had a job to do, they had decided to look after Hotaru separately when they could as to form a bond with the girl.
The morning paper had just arrived and she picked it up with her morning coffee. As she unfolded the page, she was met with the words 'Tenoh Haruka wins Championship Japan celebrates!' Michiru smiled. Her girlfriend had won the F1 championships, her dream had come true. Haruka and Michiru had become an item a few months after the defeat of the Death Busters. Michiru looked up as the door opened slightly. 'Hello Koi.' Haruka walked towards Michiru and kissed her before wrapping her in a hug.
'Hello Champion Racer.' She watched as Haruka blushed slightly.
