I come bearing one of the final chapters. There's at least one more chapter left, plus an epilogue. Hopefully I'll have both done, but you might have to wait to post them, for I will be home for the weekend without computer access. We'll see though. But that's for me to worry about. You guys just go and enjoy the chapter.

Elphie Muse: You're getting on with it? Without us shouting at you?

You sound disappointed.

Elphie Muse: It was fun shouting at you.

...oooookaaaaay...

(Insert own disclaimer here and/or see previous chapters)

"What's that?" Mars asked.

Sam grinned and rose to her feet. "Watch," she said. The silver bracer began glowing. "Phoenix Spirit Power! Tao Chi!" Her normal Senshi outfit appeared in a flash of white light. Her eyes, instead of being merely white, glowed.

Uranus stared in awe. "My god…" she breathed.

Phoenix turned to the two. "Get the people to safety." They nodded and leapt off the building. Phoenix began making her way towards the edge of the building. As she hit the edge, she leapt high into the air. She landed on a rooftop and ran to the edge. She hopped from roof to roof, searching for Janet.

Janet grinned at the hapless couple. "Hardly a challenge."

"Oh really?" a voice asked.

Janet spun around. Her red eyes narrowed. "What will it take to kill you?"

"You can't kill what I stand for," Phoenix said. She waved her hand and the couple vanished. "You can't even begin to fathom the power I possess now."

"It is nothing compared to the power of Lord Ja'aku."

"Really?" Phoenix asked. "Does Ja'aku inform you of how much pain you're causing? Does he care enough?"

"What we do does not cause pain," Janet snarled.

Phoenix suddenly blurred in and grabbed Janet's head with both hands. She closed her eyes and her hands began glowing white. Janet's eyes widened and she winced in pain. She fell to her knees, tears streaming from her eyes.

"Still think what you doesn't cause pain?" Phoenix asked softly, removing her hands from Janet's head.

"How…how did you do that?" Janet demanded.

"It's a power given to me by the spirits," Phoenix said. "Every living thing in this galaxy I can feel. Their dreams, the life they have led, everything."

"How?" Janet asked.

"Memories. They're like aftermath for me. I can reach out and take them, see what they have seen." She knelt down next Janet. "And it doesn't matter how old or new those memories are. I can feel the memories and pain from wars hundreds of years ago on every planet in this galaxy to the most recent tragedy we have had."

"How do I know this is the truth?" Janet asked.

"I guess you really don't," Phoenix said. "But no matter what you may become or do, you will always be my friend Janet."

The red faded slowly and Janet's eyes turned back to normal. "What have I done? What have I done?" she whispered.

"Phoenix!" Jupiter yelled. She and Saturn skidded to a halt several meters away.

Phoenix rose to her feet and looked at the two Senshi. "What's wrong?"

"Uh…nothing," Jupiter said. "But are you all right?"

Phoenix nodded. "We're fine."

"We?" Jupiter asked.

"You can't mean Misuteru," Saturn growled.

"Her name is Janet," Phoenix said. She turned back to the petite woman and pulled the black sword out.

"What are you doing?" Jupiter asked.

"Saving my friend," Phoenix returned. She took a running step and hurled the cursed weapon into the sky. It arced out and fell into the lava. She knelt back down next to Janet. "You gonna be okay?"

Janet nodded. "I…I think so…" she murmured. "But I've done so many terrible things…" she cried.

"You were possessed Janet. It's not your fault," Phoenix said.

"Not her fault?" Neptune asked as she and the others appeared on the roof. "She's destroyed the city."

"Not to mention taking Tuxedo Kamen's soul," Uranus added.

"What?" Moon demanded.

"She's not the problem," Phoenix said angrily.

"Then what is?" Mars demanded.

"He is," Phoenix said, pointing to a nearby rooftop.

"Who is that?" Venus asked.

"Ja'aku," Phoenix growled. The figure leapt down onto the roof, a grin on his cold, malicious face. He was dressed completely in black, his eyes glowing red. He grinned and lifted the black sword.

The Senshi hurried over to Phoenix. "So there is my wayward slave," Ja'aku sneered at Janet.

"Back off," Phoenix growled, pulling her sword free.

"So you're the new Phoenix. How…disappointing. You look weaker than your predecessors," he scoffed.

"I don't think so," Phoenix growled. "You see, I'm more powerful than even Tyrande was…Uncle."

He and the Senshi frowned. "Uncle?" Ja'aku asked.

Phoenix grinned. "I am the direct descendent of the First Phoenix, Priestess Tyrande," she said.

"You lie!" Ja'aku shouted.

"Come and find out," she challenged.

"Very well," he said. "But first…" he slowly said. He vanished in a blur.

Phoenix whirled around just in time to see the black sword impale Janet. The doctor screamed in pain. Phoenix grabbed Ja'aku and hurled him off of Janet. He crashed against the small wall of the top of the building. Phoenix knelt down, tearing off her cape and mask to staunch the flow of blood.

"It's no good," Mercury said.

"Sa…Sam…" Janet choked out. "P…please…take care…of…Cassie…"

Tears spilled from Phoenix's eyes. "I will. Just hold on. You'll be fine. I swear it," she growled.

Janet weakly shook her head. "I…I'm…suppose…to be…de…dead…remember? This…is how it…it should be…"

"Janet…" Phoenix began. The doctor's head fell back as her eyes glazed over. Phoenix closed her eyes, tears squeezing their way down her face. She clenched her fists and slowly rose to her feet. Her whole body was shaking with rage and anger.

"Don't worry. You and everyone else on this planet will be joining her soon enough," Ja'aku laughed. "And don't bother attacking, any of you. I could kill you all with a wave of my hand."

"Why you…" Jupiter began.

"STOP!" Phoenix bellowed. Everyone turned to her. "I have gone from one side of this galaxy to another, and even into other galaxies. I've faced things humans never dreamed of facing. I've done things they'd never dreamt of doing. I've been beaten, killed and brought back, possessed several times, cloned by machines, hunted, and blown up a sun. I was ready to settle down and quit when the Ori discovered this galaxy, so I returned to active duty. A Prior then tried to kill me and I was forced to regress to that of a nineteen year old just to survive. Then I was given these powers. Then I find out that one of the most selfless people I know, who sacrificed her life for that of an airman's several years ago, is actually alive and has been twisted by the Ori. It ends now."

"It will never end my dear niece," Ja'aku growled. "You cannot kill a god!"

"You're no god Ja'aku. You're just a parasite who has to live off of people's misplaced faith for the power you wield," Phoenix said.

"I've had enough of this," he snarled.

"Then come and fight me. Unless you're a coward," she growled.

"Come and get us," Uranus added.

"No," Phoenix said. "This fight is personal. Stay out of it."

"It's personal for me too. He has Mamoru's soul," Moon said. "I'm fighting with you," she declared.

"No you're not," Phoenix said. "If I fall, you and the others are the only hope left," she explained.

"Phoenix…" Apollo began.

"Enough talk!" Ja'aku bellowed. He charged in, sword raised.

Phoenix dodged the attack. "Get out of here! I can't fight with all you here!"

"What?" Venus asked.

"We'd only get in the way," Neptune said.

"We need to make sure everyone made it away safely. Let's go!" Uranus said. They began leaving. "Apollo," Uranus said.

"I'm not leaving her," he said stubbornly.

"Then die," Ja'aku said. He swung at Apollo.

Phoenix swiftly blocked the blade and hurled Ja'aku away. She turned to Apollo. "Go Apollo. The others might need you."

"You might need me," he said softly.

She held him. "You'll always be with me my prince. Now go!" He reluctantly nodded and left with the Senshi. Phoenix turned back to Ja'aku.

"Finally alone," he chuckled, rising to his feet. "Now behold my true powers!" Black lightening crackled around him and struck Phoenix. She was hurled back to the edge of the roof and stumbled off. She desperately reached out and latched onto the edge, her feet dangling in space. She looked up as Ja'aku loomed over her.

"I can't wait to see you dead," she growled.

"I don't think so," he smirked. He slammed his foot down on her fingers. She lost her grip on the ledge and fell into space, the river of lava rushing up to claim her. She held her hands out and two jets of fire rushed to the ground. Her descent slowed enough to let a large piece of a building block her path to the lava. She stopped the fire jets and landed hard on the concrete. Darkness quickly rushed in and took her.

Don't worry, Sam isn't dead. She's just unconscious. And it could be for a reason. Until the next update. So go review. So many hits and so little reviews...it's making me think people don't like this fic...and if people don't review, I might not update tomorrow...

Elphie Muse: You'll update.

Yeah...but I won't put the epilogue up. That's right readers, I have this story completed. And if I get enough reviews, I will put the final chapter and epilogue up tomorrow. But if I don't get that many reviews...then you'll have to wait for the epilogue. So go review.
