Flashback
Rose's words
The Gift
Rose and Uranus ran up the stairs and dashed to the crown. Lenne who was still down in the negavers was watching as the world around her crumbled. Her body disintegrated as the remains of the negavers caved in. Rose and Uranus jumped out of the negavers and landed just behind Saturn's wall. Michelle was in Serena's arms when they felt the final tremor and saw Rose and Uranus on the ground at there feet. Michelle left Serena's arms and was at the floor holding onto her daughter for dear life. After awhile no one could sense the presence of the negavers any longer.
"Were clear. It's gone" said Rei.
"Hey were is Lenne" asked Mina.
"Who could have done this?" asked Lita.
"Lenne" said Rose as she gazed at were the negvers was and stood up.
"Rose I am so sorry" said Serena as she hugged her daughter. Michelle just stood up and hugged her daughter, trying her best to comfort her. They de-transformed and the rest just stared in silence and left to mourn for there fallen friend.
After awhile Rose final spoke up. "Lets go home we need to prepare I sense something major is here."
The scouts nodded and they left the arcade. As soon as they left they caught site of a massive dark crystal with a plat form at the top a few yards way. "What the hell is going on here" said Amara.
Just then a Wicked Lady came from behind and grabbed Uranus and pulled her into the air with her. "It's the tower in which I am going to open the portal. Your bitch friend Lenne may have killed my daddy but our wish will be carried out" said Wicked Lady.
"Yeah right" said Rose as she started to charge at Wicked Lady, with unmatched rage in her eyes. She stopped, when Wicked Lady pulled Amara in front of her as a shield.
"But don't worry Amara isn't your only insentive" said Wicked Lady as she summoned the cage that that had all of scouts parents and relatives in there. They looked terrified, afraid what was going to happen to them but most importantly their children who knew that they were going to end up fighting. "If you wish to save them, come here tomorrow at noon. Look for me at the heart. Though a I can't promise that Amara will be there nor can I say you are going to walk out alive or the same. We will settle this tomorrow but in the mean time I have some fun in mind. Till then" taunted Wicked Lady before she disappeared back into the crystal.
They scouts were nervous at what might happened to there parents. Rose was more worried about Amara and the portal. "Here lets head to our training area" said Rose.
"Why there" asked Hotaru a little shaky.
"Because if we go to someones house it will be bad" said Rose.
"She has a point" said Michelle.
"Then let's go. Because staring at this crystal is depressing me" said Trista as she comforted Mina.
The scouts headed to the park. There in a open space Rose pulled out a crystal, which she threw. It turned out to be a house. They went in side at sat down in the living room. "I managed to scan the context of the crystal before we left. There are 4 levels in clueding ground floor and the top which would be the plat form. Floor two is the heart and floor 3 has our parents and Amara for the time being. Most likely by the time we get there Amara will be on the plat form ready to forced into opening the portal" said Ami.
"Alright then. Here is what will go down" said Serena.
"You got a plan" asked Rei from Hotaru's lap.
"Yeah. Normally I would say we shouldn't split up but we really don't have a choice in the matter. Michelle and I will fight Rini since it is out destiny that we want to rewrite. The rest of you will go and rescue everyone else. I think we should show up a little before hand like 11. This will give use the surprise tactic and a chance to stop Wicked Lady before she takes Amara up to the plat form" said Serena.
"Sounds like a plain moonbeam" said Michelle.
"I agree with Serena on the splitting up part but I think we should go now" said Rei as some of the other scouts nodded in agreement.
"No, that would be suicide. You have almost no energy left and to go now, it would surely kill you" said Rose.
"We can't sit here and wait, when she could be hurting our parents" said Mina.
"We know that. But to go now is nuts" said Michelle.
"You will die, if you go. That is not a theory that is fact. Do you think a wasted death is honorable or something? (a/n quote form the legend of dragoon. I don't own that)" said Rose hotly.
Rei, let her fear for her grandfather get the better of her. "Lenne gave her life to save us and kill the king. She didn't have to do that, there was probably another but if she were here right now she wouldn't want us to do nothing well Wicked Lady is torturing our parents" said Rei.
"Shut up" said Rose bitterly before she continued. "Lenne knew what she had to do. Sometimes there is no other way. A small part of Lenne knew that she would most likely die in that fight. Yet she fraught onward. To go and get your self killed would not only dishonor Lenne it would be an insult to me as well. Yeah that's right me. I watched all of you get killed right in front of me. Each one of you faught with passion and heart till the bitter end and let me tell you it was a bitter end. From there it was just me and Lenne. Death is my gift. I make it with my hand's day after day. I have seen people die that shouldn't have died but they threw there life away just as you were about to. I have killed so many people I have lost count. I have seen so much pointless blood shed caused at my hand's because people knew that they were out matched, yet they still fraught me. And every time it got them killed. Right now the yoma that is guarding Amara would kill all of you it one hit given our current state. So please don't go and wast your life on a fight that deep in your heart you know you would lose if you went right now" said Rose finishing that last sentence softly.
The room was dead silent at Rose's revelation. No one dared to say anything. Finally Rei spoke up. "Rose I am so sorry. We didn't know. It's just that."
"I know alright. It's cool. Right now we should just rest. That is the best thing we can do right now" said Rose as she left to a room.
The rest of the scouts went into one of the few bedrooms, to try and sleep. Serena and Michelle got up and fallowed there daughter. Rose was sitting at the window sill and looking out the window. "Rose, sweetie. Are you alright" said Serena as she entered the room. Rose turned and looked at them. Serena and Michelle were immedetly at her side, and pulled Rose into a hug. For the first time that Rose had become an adult this was one of the only times that they saw her crying. They led her to the bed and whispered soothing words to her. After awhile the three of them drifted off into sleep.
They awoke the next morning around 10:30. They got up and headed back to the living room. The rest of the scouts were standing next to their respective significant other. They looked at the new royal family and nodded. "Rose I picked up the yoma that you felt earlier, on my scanner. The readings are high. I don't even think that we can beat it while Serena and Michelle are fighting Rini" said Ami with her scanner out.
Rose then walked over and looked at the readings. "Shit it got stronger since yestereday. I could have beaten it then if I had my energy. If Lenne was here we wouldn't have a problem, but since she isn't we do" said Rose.
"What do we do?" asked Lita.
"We try and fight it any way. But I don't think all of us will walk away for that fight" said Mina.
"There is no other choice I will have to do it" said Rose.
"Do what" asked Trista.
"Something that I though I would never have to do again. I did it in my past life but there is no other option. I will never forgive my self for this. Michael come here" said Rose as Michael appeared.
"Mistress Rose, what is it that you need" asked Michael. Rose just gave him a look with hollow eyes. "Understood Mistress. But remember this I will always care for you the same" said Michael as he left to do his biding.
"Rose what are you going to do" asked Rei.
"You don't want to know. Just pray you don't have to see it" said Rose.
"It can't be that bad" said Lita.
"Trust me it is far worse then anything you can imagine. After it I will under stand if you never wish to speak to me again. I will be using my gift to its full extent today. Just leave it at that" said Rose.
"Are you sure you know how to work your gift Rose. More or less are you ok with it" said Trista.
"Only time will tell" replied Rose.
"Any way lets go. The sooner this is over the sooner we can celebrate" said Serena.
They left the house and Rose put it back in her watch. They transformed and proceeded to the crystal. A structure that looked like a door was open and they proceeded in. "I figured you would show up early" said Wicked Lady as she apperad. There were no yoma around except for one. The one yoma that was there was by far the most powerful one that they have ever seen. "Ooo I see you like my little friend here. Unlike the yoma's up stairs, he isn't infused with a human like them. He is one of the reminents for Beryls world. Don't worry more will be on the way" said Wicked Lady.
Not only were the scouts shocked but now if they killed a yoma up stairs they would also be killing an innocent person. "You sick little bitch. We will end this now" spat Serena as she became Neo-Queen Serenity.
"What the matter afraid to get your hands dirty. I used all kinds of people, babies, kids, women, teenagers, men. So what are you going to do" taunted Wicked Lady.
"This" said Rose as Michael appeared with a women and infant that wasn't more then a few hours old.
"Ooo fun lets let the rest watch" said Wicked Lady. She then made it so that there parents and Amara above could be seen and heard.
"What's going on. Were are we" asked the firgtend women as he baby began to cry.
"She was the only one that fit" said Michael.
Rose looked at the women with such sadness in her eyes. "I am so sorry" said Rose as she repited again. "But it is the only way. And the only way it will work. I have to do to awaken it's power" said Rose. She then walked over to the women and pulled the screaming baby out of her arms. "Sorry kiddo. But you'll never get to see the sun set" said Rose.
Mina who caught on to what Rose was about to do. "Rose you can't" said Mina.
"There is no other option. If I don't they will die, not only that it will condem this world tell hell if I don't" said Rose as she gestured to the people above her. Rose then handed the infant back to its mother. She then turned and faced the scouts. "Once I do this go to the second floor and free them. I will take care of the yoma" said Rose. Rose then whipped around pulling out a knife before anyone could register what was going to happen next, she threw it. The knife landed right between the eyes of the infant killing it. The rest of the scouts looked on in horror. She then pulled out her rapier and walked over to the mother with tears streaming down her face. She lifted her right hand and slashed the mother, instantly killing her. "Black Monster, come forth once again and spare me the details. You know what to do" said Rose.
"Well that did nothing. What a wast. Granted it was fun to watch" said Wicked Lady.
Rose then looked over at Wicked Lady and the Yoma. Her soft eyes became hard and hollow. Soon her body was engrossed in black flames and her dragoon armor appeared. The black flames were swirling about her. She then flew at the yoma, punching it so hard that it landed against the crystals wall with a sickening crack. "You should know. That once I come out Rose is no longer in control of this body. A small part in the back of our mind she is there but is almost unreachable since my lust for blood is to great. It would take an extremely powerful bond to bring her back. Until then you just have to wait till I tire my self out" said the entity with in Rose as she slashed at the yoma. The rest of the scouts, excluding Neptune and Serena, took off to help their parents. After getting board tormenting the yoma, 'Rose' shot up a whip of the dark energy surrounding her. This in incinerated it. 'Rose' then teleported up to the next level to help the scouts.
"This ends now Rini" said Serena bitterly.
The rest of the scouts were dogging the yoma's attacks and sending some back but not enough to kill them. "Remember there are people inside of them we can't kill them" said Mars as she sent another attack at the yoma as it cried out in pain form another attack that it was it by.
Saturn had set up her barrier protecting the parents from the onslaught that is going on. "Hotaru why aren't they killing them" asked one of the parents chained to the wall.
"Wicked Lady in fussed humans with in them" replied Hotaru.
They watched as the yoma gained the upper hand and there daughters screams of pain could be heard. "They aren't in control. You can't save them" said Sammy sadly.
Deep down Hotaru knew that. "I know that but we still have to try" replied Hotaru.
Just then 'Rose' appeared. "I can have some fun here" said 'Rose' as she began to slash and kill the yoma. As this went on, one yoma grabbed Amara and headed up stairs. 'Rose' having almost killed all of them saw what was going on. Some were in the back of her mind she knew she needed to go after Amara. After killing the reaming few she took off after Amara.
"I'm hurt mommy. Your willing to have a child that slaughters off infants, but you wont have me" tauted Wicked Lady, who thought that it would break Serena.
"I love her, though I can't say the same about you. Rose knew what she had to do. Yes she killed them. But I know that many people will still be alive and able to enjoy there freedoms because of her. You on the other hand would let and watch them suffer a while you laughed at their pain" said Neo-Queen Serenity as the silver crystal appeared.
"Rose hurts and suffers every time she has had to kill. She loves life and this world, and is willing to through away her own happiness just so others are a able to see a new day. I will not let you bad mouth my daughter" said Neptune.
"Deep Submerge" yelled Neptune. Wicked Lady dogged the attack and sent one back. They jumped out of the way and Neptune sent another attack while Serena gathered energy. Wicked Lady dogged that attack but was met with Neptune's fist. They then got into a physical fight which proceed . After about 20 minutes of fighting, Wicked Lady sent Neptune flying into the crystal wall.
Struggling to get up, Neptune final got up. "Submarine reflection" yelled Neptune as he attack hit Wicked Lady.
"This ends now" said Neo-Queen Serenity. "Sliver Crystal Power" yelled Neo-Queen Serenity as her attack hit Wicked Lady from behind.
The combination of both attacks finally let up Wicked Lady fell to the ground and grunted in pain. She knew this would be the end of her. "Such hatred in you Rini and yet it is you I feel sorry for. But don't worry it's all over now. Now Rose can have the future that she deserves." with that being said Neo-Queen Serenity finished Rini off the silver crystal.
"We did it moon beam" said Neptune.
"Yeah we did. Now there will be peace and our destiny is anything that we want it to be. I don't care what happens now as long as your with me and Rose has the childhood that she deserves then I will be happy" said Neo-Queen Serenity. They then shared a passionate kiss. They broke there kiss just in time to see the scouts and their parents come down the stairs. They ran over to them and gave them a hug. After awhile they broke it when they heard a rumble and saw a big flash. They then ran out side. "The portal it opened" said Neo-Queen Serenity as she held on to Michelle.
'Rose appeared on the massive platform. Amara, who was on a massive metal plank screamed out in pain when the yoma cut her stomach. The cut wasn't deep enough to kill her just enough to bleed. 'Rose' flew past Amara and charged at the yoma slashing it in half. Rose then turned and looked at Amarasavegly By this time some of Amara's blood had fallen and opened the portal. They looked at each other for a moment and Rose's eyes returned to normal and the black fire faded away. "Amara" said Rose as she returned after having the black monster fade away until it was needed again.
"Rose I am sorry. There was nothing I could do to stop it" said Amara with sadness in her voice.
Amara moved to jump off the platform but was stopped by Rose. "What are you doing" said Rose desperately.
"Rose I have to. It wont stop until it has my blood. Until my blood stops flowing it will never stop" said Amara with tears in her eyes as a massive yoma began to appear.
Rose turned her gaze over to were the portal was. Because it always has to be blood. Blood is life and until it stops flowing you live. Death is your gift. Your blood is just like mine. This is our bond. Death is your gift.
Rose then turned her head back to Amara. "Rose no." said Amara as she began to cry.
"Amara, listen to me, there isn't a lot of time" said Rose. Rose then leaned over and whispered into Amara's ear. She then pulled away from her ear and looked at Amara. Rose then captured Amara's lips with her own portraying everything that she felt to Amara, who returned the kiss hoping to do the same. After about a minute they broke there kiss. Rose pulled away and looked at Amara and smiled. She then turned, ran off to the edge and dove into the portal.
Amara stood there crying as Rose jump off the platform, remembering what Rose had said to her. Amara listen to me. Listen. I love you. I have always loved you. But this is the work that I have to do.
Amara then left the platform. She made her way down the stairs and out the door. "Amara your alive" said Mina as she was the first to see her. Everyone then turned there attention to her.
"Whats wrong Amara?" asked Rei.
"Hey guys that portal thing closed" said Sammy.
"What but how. The only way to close it was with Amara's blood. And she is alive so…" said Ami.
"It wasn't just my blood" mumbled Amara.
"Then how?" asked Hotaru.
Just then Mrs. Tsukino screamed out in horror at the sight in front of her. "What is it honey" said Mr. Tsukino.
Lita just followed her gaze. "No no" said Lita as she started to cry. The rest turned to look at what They saw. Amara was in tears Tell Trista that I figured it out. And that I'm ok. Serena and Michelle made a motion to move but took a step and fell to the ground crying at the site of there dead daughter who was sleeping peacefully.
The rest of them stared at Rose's lifeless body. And give my love to everyone.
Sammy then started to cry as he stared at his niece's body. You have to take care of each other.
Mr. Tsukino was trying to be strong for his family couldn't take it any more and broke down. You have to be strong.
Amara who was in tears that the love of her life was now gone, andRose's body started to fade, remembered her final words. Amara the hardest thing in this world… is to live it. Be brave. Live, for me.
