Chapter Twenty Seven: The Show down: Serenity VS Beryl
It started to rain again. It was a soft gentle flow of cold water, washing away the pain of the battle. Before Sailor moon could explain anything to anyone, or help the senshi or Tuxedo Kamen to their feet, a large purple ball zapped her and she vanished. They all gasped looking up to the sky, wondering where she had disappeared to. Tuxedo Kamen took this loss the hardest and he fell to his knees once more crying out her name. It was useless though, Sailor moon was gone.
"Where is she!" Sailor Mars shouted at Mercury as she feverishly typed in her communicator. They were all worn out and badly hurt from Malachite and destructor brothers attacks, but they had to find their princess.
"Usagi!" Tuxedo Kamen shouted to the air, hoping that she would appear any moment. He got to his feet looking down at the ground, a single tear rolling down his cheek.
'How could I let this happen? How could I let her be taken like that…' He thought. Suddenly, with the same zap, Tuxedo Kamen was gone too. The senshi gasped once more running to the spot he was standing in before he vanished.
"What's going on?" Jupiter asked scanning the area. Mercury looked up after calculating and entering data. She was sad, and started to cry.
"I can't find them, they're in some sort of outer dimension…" She paused looking down to her feet, her hands falling to her sides. The senshi's eyes watered up waiting for her to confirm their thoughts.
"We can't help them…" They sharply looked to the moon, eyes full of tears, hoping that some how; they would be safe. Luna broke down.
"We were too late." She cried.
…………………………………..
The chamber was very dark. The ceiling was high and the air was musky. A slight fog lingered at the base of the floor giving it a more eerie feel. Sailor moon woke up with a headache and feeling a bit off balance.
"So you're awake now are you Princess." Laughed Queen Beryl stepping out of the murky shadows. Sailor moon gasped, standing promptly to her feet. She was furious and her body language was demanding answers. But the large hideous Queen laughed. She was moving like a slippery snake as she glided along closer to Sailor moon.
"Ah, after all this time. We meet again." She grinned waving a hand in the air as she slowly slithered closer to Sailor moon.
"What do you want?" Sailor moon shouted taking a defensive stance. The horrible queen stopped, grinning, she looked over to a seemingly blank wall. Sailor moon looked to the wall waiting for a monster to jump out and attack her, but as the fog settled she gasped in horrible surprise.
"Mamo-chan…" Slipped out of her mouth as she raced to his side. He was badly beaten, as if he had been tortured. His Tuxedo jacket was ripped off and his shirt and pants torn. He was gently waking feeling a heavy pain all over his body. His head was pulsing Usagi's name as he looked down to her crying face. Suspended on the wall, hands and feet tied up, he tried to smile. Queen Beryl started to laugh, amused by their constant emotions.
"Pathetic." She laughed obnoxiously.
"LET HIM GO!" Sailor moon shouted turning around. Tuxedo Kamen looked sharply at the conniving witch and snarled.
"What do you want with us?" He angrily shouted. He felt helpless and defensiveless, most important; from his current position he could not protect Sailor moon.
"OHH I think I hit a nerve." She laughed back. They broken couple waited for her to say something as they continued to stare at her with heated eyes. The chamber was quiet except for the dripping sound of water leaking and rats scratching.
"It's quite simple. Unless you look forward to watching Endymion die again…." She sang. Sailor moon's eyes widen in panic and worry. Tuxedo Kamen grew more irate listening to her threaten Usagi with her own heart.
"Give up the Silver Crystal." She smirked putting her long wicked staff in front of her. Sailor moon became frustrated, she was not in the right emotional state any more. She felt weak and unsure of herself, unsure of her power. She looked back at Tuxedo Kamen, knowing that he would tell her to never give it up. But she was trapped now, in a small corner, she couldn't watch him die again. Tears started to pool out of her eyes.
Queen Beryl smirked, this time raising her staff and pointing it at Tuxedo Kamen's dangling body. The ropes tightened on his bound hands and feet as he felt the sensation of a hundred dull knives scrap at his skin. He screamed out in agony.
"NO, Mamo-chan!" She screamed holding on to him trying to fade his pain. She was crying hysterically watching him suffer. The evil woman stopped her attack and let Tuxedo Kamen to hang in torturous pain. Sailor moon grabbed on to his shirt, shaking him gently to wake up. His eyes opened faintly and he looked with tears in his eyes, telling her not to give up.
"Don't Usako…Don't do it." He slowly mumbled slipping into unconsciousness. Sailor moon screamed as she shook him, trying her best to wake him. She could tell that his life was hanging by a string, and another attack on him; would kill him for certain.
"What will you do Sailor moon?" Queen Beryl laughed. Tuxedo Kamen's ropes cut loose and he fell to the floor, leaning against the wall. Sailor moon fell to her knees, hugging him tightly. She soaked his shirt with her tears within minutes. Looking down at his face, she wiped a small tear that had escaped his eye, gently kissing his forehead.
"I won't wait any longer!" She demanded slamming her staff on the ground. Sailor moon smiled at the dying Tuxedo hero, brushing his hair away from his face. She stood up, looking down to her feet. She faced Queen Beryl, with guilt and defeat. The Queen smiled, knowing what her answer was, Sailor moon would give up.
"So hand it over." She smirked holding out her hand.
"…NO, this can't be happening." Sailor moon whispered. Her mind trailed off to all of her friends, her earth family, the happy days with all of them. She thought back to her parents and their lives, how they would give up the world for her happiness. Her bratty little brother Shingo, who took such good care of her every time she fell ill. To her friends, who stood beside her, ready to hand over their lives so that the world was better. She remembered Naru and Umino and all of the other school friends. The way wind felt against her skin, the sunsets, sunrises; flowers and birds. Everyone on the planet, living. Than Mamoru came into her mind. She remembered back to what he said at his apartment, that he knew she could fight.
"Do you want me to kill him?" The Queen interrupted trying to entice Sailor moon's emotional senses. But it didn't work. Sailor moon closed her eyes, her body shaking.
"I WON'T LET YOU WIN!" She screamed sharply opening her eyes. Her body burst into a bright glow, sending sparkles and light everywhere in the dark chamber. The Queen gasped trying to shield herself from the light, but this light was not attacking her and she wondered why. When the light dimmed, Sailor moon was gone.
"…no this..no how did you…" The wicked queen stepped back, fearing her worst dreams coming to reality.
"It's over, for GOOD!" Princess Serenity screamed to the very top of her lungs, bringing the moon wand over her head. The cresent moon shone on her forehead and her dress flew in the magical wind from the light. The Silver Crystal shone vibrantly blinding everything. The bloody cry of the Queen drowned as the real culprit Queen Metalica raised from her body.
" OH NO YOU DON"T!" Serenity shouted. Beams of light raced to her Crystal and suddenly in a white burst of energy, the dark chamber crumbled. Serenity put all her strength, all her love for Earth, the Moon, her friends and family, for the residence of the planet and for Mamoru.
"STOP THIS!" Cried the dying Queen Metalica, the creature responsible for all of the misery Usagi faced as Sailor moon.
"MOON CRYSTAL POWER!" She exclaimed one last time, the entire dark area exploded in hot light. Faded images of the inner senshi appeared behind her as well as Endymion standing beside her. They were all stretching out holding on to her shoulders as she raised the Cyrstal a final time. This time, it would be the end.

'Mamo-chan…'
'Usako…'

"Usagi!...Usagi!" Rei screamed trying to shake her awake. The girls had surrounded Usagi as she lay asleep at the temple. She fluttered her eyes open focusing, but her eyes were incredibly weak. She exhaled feeling warmth around her, and a soft light looking down at her.
"Rei-chan?" Usagi whispered turning to the figure as it came into focus. The girls relaxed, crying happily that she had survived. Usagi slowly sat up with the help of Ami. She rubbed the back of her head, slightly confused about what happened, but when she realized she gasped.
"Mamo-chan? Where is he?" She begged hopelessly looking around. They turned away so that she could see him laying a few feet away, comfortably and safe. Her eyes started to water.
"It's okay Usagi-chan, he'll be fine." Minako smiled placing a gentle hand on her shoulder. Usagi began to cry hopelessly, feeling relieved and sad all at once. It was finally over, all of it.
"You did very well Usagi-chan..I'm very proud of you." Luna said nuzzling against her forearms. They all smiled at her agreeing.
"It just happened all of a sudden..I thought that I would …that we all would." Usagi started to stutter as she cried. She was happy again, they all could be happy again. She wanted to look back and reflect on how they ended up here, like this; but it didn't matter, she was happy and the world was finally at peace.
"We're proud of you Usagi-chan." Makoto smiled. They all looked at her with watery eyes. Usagi wiped her tears.
"I always thought I wouldn't be able to do it. All I ever did was hide behind you all when we fought. Always felt so weak…but I…I was alone this time." She cried smiling down at her hands. It was true, she was always afraid, always feared being left alone in battles, helpless. And she believed that when the end was coming, she would have the senshi with her along with Tuxedo Kamen to help her.
'But than again…' She thought.
"I wasn't alone." She whispered. The girls smiled softly.
"All of you were with me…guiding me." Usagi looked up at each of them, her eyes thanking them all for helping her. Even in her final minute, when she was faced with the biggest challenge, the memory of her friends and family, the planet and Mamoru guided her, helped her to fight. In the end, it wasn't her alone that fought with Queen Beryl and Queen Metalica, they were all there with her. She smiled.
"Arigato.." She smiled.
…………………………………..
"Should we tell them Luna?" Artemis asked sadly as they hopped outside. The moon was looking very brilliant and large. The night sky was peaceful, dotted with little stars accompanying the darkness.
"Luna?" Artemis asked. Her eyes were watery, but she was smiling looking up to the moon. She nodded side to side.
"No, let them live in this moment for now…" Luna smiled, with a small tear rolling down.
