To clear up any doubts about last chapter, SHEPPARD IS NOT DEAD! I don't think the way I wrote it was clear enough or something, but he is alive. As to what happens to Sam...read on.
So, I give you, the epilogue!
Elphie Muse: Already?
Well...I wanted to make this story three parts...
Elphie Muse: Ah...but don't you think it's a lot like...:slaps hand over Elphie Muse's mouth:
Silence about that! Let them go read...:turns to readers: You didn't read anything that Elphie Muse said...now go read the epilogue!
I don't own a thing...not even a brain.
Elphie Muse: That's the truth.
Hey!
Haruka looked over at Jack as the Ancient warship headed back to Earth. They had spent days scouring for an energy signature remotely similar to Phoenix's, but to no avail. The Outer Senshi had reluctantly admitted defeat, telling Jack that they had a mission to protect the princess. Jack had only nodded, his eyes hollow.
"The Starlights said they would keep searching," Michiru said.
Jack nodded but said nothing. Instead, his mind floated back to the memorial service for those who had died fighting the Wraith. The song Teyla had sung still echoed in his mind…
"Beyond the night, rising sun… Beyond the night, the battle won…the battle won…Hear and shape the wind and night…Pain and sorrow gone at last, gone at last…Circle renewed…Peace will be found…Peace will be found, on sacred ground… With the close the final wind, the final breath, our journey begins, our journey begins…"
He sighed and watched the stars streak by. Goodbye my love… he thought to himself. Goodbye…

Phoenix drifted in space, barely hanging on to life. She had used what little power she had left to send Dagnir into the sun. Now she was drifting ever closer and knew that her time was almost up. She silently and patiently waited for her end to come.
A black shape emerged from behind the planet closest to the sun and hovered over Phoenix's still form. She shimmered out of view and reappeared a moment later on the bridge of the ship. Strong arms hauled her to her knees and brought her before a throne. As if sensing something was wrong, she opened her eyes and looked up.
"Welcome Phoenix," a cold voice said.
"Y…you!" she exclaimed.
Ja'aku smiled. "Are you ready to fulfill your destiny?" he smirked.
"What do you…" she began.
"I told you that you cannot escape who you truly are…" he chuckled. He snapped his fingers and an ornate box was brought into the room. "You see, by allowing yourself to be so weakened, I was able to break through the seal you had placed upon me. I was also able to recover this."
Phoenix looked at the box. "Y…you mustn't open that!" she exclaimed. "It's filled with…"
"Evil," he finished. "Why do you think I had it brought here?"
"What…what are you going to do?" she asked.
"Allow who you truly are to awaken. Tyrande wasn't as good as she pretended to be...not at first," he sneered. He lifted the lid of the box and something seeped from the container. It drew it light, casting the room in faint darkness. Phoenix watched in fear as it crept closer to her. As it seeped into her, she let out a bloodcurdling scream…
To Be Continued…
I know, I know! Bad spot to end the story, but no maiming! The third part is on the way and I need to be semi-sane to write it so it makes some sort of sense. Now, just click the little review button. And here's to Sam being able to deal with anything that gets thrown her way! As they say when drinking in Japan, Kanpai!
:Downs entire can of Mountain Dew:
Elphie Muse: Um...just...review to be spared author's insanity...if that's possible...
Nope! And you know why?
Elphie Muse: I'm afraid to ask...
ONE WEEK OF SCHOOL LEFT! HUZZAH! Let the joyous music at last be spread! Only one week of school left to be had!
Elphie Muse: -.-;;;;;;;;
