As promised, here is the next chapter. Let's see what happens!
Elphie Muse: You wrote the story. You already know what happens.
...So?
Elphie Muse: I give up trying to understand humans.
Teal'c: As they say, welcome to the club.
Not mine, never will be...unless I take over the world... High Power! Hyper! World domination! Let's!
Elphie Muse: -.-;;;
"You have got to be kidding," Uranus muttered.
Nightwolf helped Moon up. "We can talk later. Right now I feel like saving them," he said. He looked at Moon. "Ready?" She nodded. Nightwolf brought his hands to right hip. An image of three silver intersecting crescent moons formed and split apart to form a whole silver moon. "Spirit Moon…" he began.
"Starlight Honeymoon…"
"Healing…"
"Therapy…"
"Light!" Nightwolf finished, thrusting his arms out.
"Kiss!" Moon finished. The two attacks flew from their respective owners and melded into one. It struck the Phages and they howled. The Soul Phages melted away revealing the two parents to be unharmed.
Nightwolf knelt down next to them. "Everyone made it to safety. Wait here until help arrives," he told them. He stood and looked over at the Senshi. He turned and sprinted for the exit, the Senshi following. Sam ran to the doorframe and watched them fade into the night.

Nightwolf halted in a large clearing in one of the nearby parks and watched the Senshi stand in front of him. "It's your move," he told them.
"Why are you here?" Neptune demanded.
"I made an oath," he said.
"To what? Steal Sailor Moon's power for yourself?" Uranus asked.
"I don't care about power," Nightwolf said. "But a storm is coming to this world. It hangs heavy in the air like an arriving rain cloud." He looked up at the sky, a crescent moon shining brightly.
"I'm sure," Uranus scoffed.
"It is a storm of death that Nightwolf senses," a voice said. A silver wolf appeared out of the shadows in between the pair. Shadow sat down and looked at them. "It is a storm that has not been felt in this galaxy for millennia."
"How do we know you're telling the truth?" Jupiter asked.
"They are," a voice said. Luna and Artemisu ran up on the opposite side of Shadow. "A power that has not been here since the beginning of the Silver Millennium is coming fast," Luna said.
"The Ori that Sam spoke of?" Mercury asked.
"Yes," Shadow said.
"We don't know for sure," Artemisu said.
"Shadow and I both know," Nightwolf said.
"How?" Saturn asked.
"Because…I'm a Guardian," Nightwolf said.
The Inner and Outer Senshi frowned. "Guardian?" Mars repeated.
"They were beings similar to Sailor Senshi that were not limited to one solar system," Fighter said.
"They protected entire galaxies," Maker added.
"We didn't think any were still alive…not after Galaxia…" Healer said.
"We were about to enter the fight when you stopped her," Nightwolf said to Moon. "But now it looks like we're needed."
"We don't need your help," Uranus said.
"I think you do," he said. "Right now the only way to heal a Soul Phage is if Sailor Moon and I combine our powers."
"We can find another way," Pluto said.
"Sailor Phoenix could do it, but her powers are gone," Nightwolf said.
"You don't know that," Venus said.
"She told me," Nightwolf said. "They were taken away for what she did."
"But it wasn't her fault!" Moon said.
"Don't tell that to me," he said. "Tell that to her. She doesn't want to risk hurting any of you again. She believes that not using those powers will accomplish that."
"Are you saying they won't?" Artemisu asked.
"I'm saying she might be needed when the storm breaks," he said. "I don't want to fight any of you. You guys aren't my enemy." He turned and started to walk away, Shadow joining him. He paused and looked back at them. "Take care of each other," he said. He leapt into the night, Shadow following him.

"You sure you want to do this?" Sam asked a few days later. They were in a large stadium, people cheering loudly in the crowd. In the center of the stadium was a large ring with two people fighting each other.
Kael adjusted his red hand pads that covered his palms, three quarters of his fingers, and his wrists. "It's for a good cause," he said.
"Yeah but…Haruka's a good fighter," Sam said.
Kael smiled in reassurance. "I'll be fine," he said. He gave her a soft kiss on the cheek. "Trust me," he said. The fight in the ring was over and Kael slipped in as Haruka grabbed a quick drink.
"Be careful Haruka," Michiru said, looking at Kael.
"Trust me," she said. She walked back to the center of the ring and bowed to Kael. "I won't hold back," she said softly.
He grinned. "I'll try not to embarrass you too much," he returned. The referee signaled them to begin and Haruka immediately threw a left jab at Kael. He easily parried it and tried to grab her extended arm but she drew it back in and spun around, back handing him across the face. Kael stumbled away and held his jaw, a grin on his face. He cracked his knuckles and slid into a defensive stance.
Haruka quickly spun around, shooting her leg out in a sidekick. Kael caught the kick and hurled Haruka to the mat. She quickly leapt to her feet and faced him. She threw a lead front kick at him and he dodged to the side. She brought her elbow in and he flipped to his back to avoid the attack. He leg swept her and jumped to his feet as she regained her own.
Haruka charged in with a right hook and expected Kael to back away. Her eyes widened in surprise when he moved in and grabbed her arm as she followed through with the attack. She felt herself flip over and land heavily on the mat. She winced in pain as pressure was placed on her elbow. She reluctantly tapped the mat to avoid her arm breaking. The referee called the match and Kael released her.
She rose to her feet and inclined her head to him. He returned the bow, a faint grin on his face. "Not too shabby," she commented as they shook hands.
"Same to you," he said.
"You were holding back, weren't you?" she asked.
He shrugged. "Maybe."
"Kaminotsuki will go on to the final round!" the announcer said. "Thirty minute break until then!"
Kael stepped out of the ring and sat on a bench, wiping a faint sheen of sweat off his face with a towel. "Nice fighting," Sam said.
He shrugged. "I trained a lot," he said.
"That was amazing!" Usagi exclaimed.
"Very impressive fighting," Yaten agreed.
Kael smiled, a little embarrassed. "I held my own," he said. They talked a while longer before he got up and began stretching.
"Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome back to the final round!" the announcer cried. "Kaminotsuki Kael will take on the reigning champion!" Kael stepped into the ring and gave the audience a small wave. "The undefeated champion!"
A dark skinned man stepped into the ring, his dark karate gi sleeveless. His dark red hair was tied back and a cold smirk was on his face. The Senshi's eyes widened in shock. "The…that's…" Michiru began.
"The mighty…Akuma!" the announcer introduced.
Akuma smirked at Kael. "Ready to die boy?" he asked.
Kael stared at the evil man, memories stirring within his mind…
"No thank you," Kaminotsuki Kedakai said to a salesclerk. "We really don't need anymore." He ushered his wife and adopted son out of the store.
"Dad, I know we don't need that stuff, but what about others who can't afford it?" Kael asked.
"Because people don't need things," Kedakai said.
"You're father's right," Kaminotsuki Kizoku agreed. "Most people need money to get food and clothes…a decent place to live," she said.
"Too true," a cold voice sneered. "So fork over the wallet and valuables." A dark skinned man stepped partially into the light, dark red hair glinting in the light.
"All right," Kedakai said. He pulled out his wallet and handed it to the man. The thief looked in the wallet.
"Where's the cash?" he demanded.
"I don't carry cash," Kedakai said. "None of us do."
"You would've lived if you had," the thief growled. Kael watched in horror as the two people who had shown him kindness were gunned down in front of him. He watched as the gun pointed at him. "Ready to die boy?" he asked. Sirens began wailing close by and the thief turned and ran…
Kael began shaking with rage and anger, his nails digging into the pads. "It was you…" he said softly.
"So you do remember," Akuma said just as softly. "Think you can bring peace to your weakling parents?"
"Begin!" the referee shouted. Kael let out a wild yell and charged in.
"He seems…different…" Usagi said softly.
"His attacks are too wild," Haruka said. "Akuma's toying with him."
"Usagi!" Luna hissed. The blonde knelt down. "Shadow just told us…" Luna panted. "Akuma killed Kael's adoptive parents!"
"You're kidding!" Michiru exclaimed.
"Kael!" Sam shouted. The Senshi turned to the fight. Kael fell to the ground from a vicious punch. Blood dripped from several cuts on his lips and face. He slowly pushed himself up. "Stay down!" Sam yelled.
"That's enough!" the referee yelled. Akuma backhanded the referee and black lightening arced out from his hands. The crowd collapsed save for the Senshi and Sam.
"We need to get out of here to transform," Makoto said. The twelve Senshi slipped out unnoticed.
Kael wiped the blood from his lip and charged in. Akuma rammed his knee into the blonde's gut. Kael gasped for breath as Akuma grabbed his hair. He slammed Kael's face into the rope bars. Blood gushed out of Kael's nose as he fell back onto the mat. He rolled onto his stomach and slowly began to rise when Akuma slammed his foot into Kael's exposed ribs. Kael flew through the air and landed on the other side of the ring, his breathing shallow.
"Hold it right there!" a voice shouted. "For attacking a man who helps people is something we cannot forgive! The five pretty soldiers in sailor suits…"
"Sailor Team!"
"In the name of the moon…"
"We shall punish you!"
Four figures appeared next to the Inner Senshi. "Guarded by Uranus, planet of the skies…I am the soldier of flight, Sailor Uranus!"
"Guarded by Neptune, planet of the deep sea…I am the soldier of affinity, Sailor Neptune!" she said.
"Guarded by Pluto, planet of revolution…I am the soldier of Time, Sailor Pluto!"
"Guarded by Saturn, planet of destruction…I am the soldier of ruin, Sailor Saturn!" she called out.
"Penetrating the darkness of night…"
"The air of freedom breaks through!"
"We are the three sacred shooting stars…Sailor Star Fighter!"
"Sailor Star Maker!"
"Sailor Star Healer!"
"Sailor Starlights! Stage on!"
Akuma snorted. "Should I be impressed?"
"Why are you here?" Moon demanded.
"I'm here merely for fun," Akuma said. He picked Kael up by the hair. "He's barely holding on. His hatred for me must be strong."
"Let him go!" Sam ordered.
Akuma laughed. "Or what? You don't even have your powers to fight me with!"
Sam charged in and Akuma easily knocked her aside. She hit the rope bar hard. "S…Sam…" Kael whispered. He coughed, blood dribbling down his chin.
"Oh no…his lung's been injured," Mercury said.
"Starlight Honeymoon Therapy Kiss!" Moon shouted.
Akuma knocked the attack away. "Surrender or he dies."
"Don't…" Sam told them. "He'll kill Kael either way."
"I can't let him suffer anymore Sam," Moon said.
"Sa…Sailor…Moon…" Kael struggled. "Don't…don't gi…give up…not…for… me…" he wheezed.
"But…"
"Enough talk!" Akuma snarled. He slammed his fist into Kael's back. His legs gave way and he crumpled to the ground.
"NO!" Moon screamed.
"Kael!" Sam shouted. She tightly shut her eyes, unwilling to let her tears fall. A memory stirred within her mind.
"Samantha…you must not be afraid of the power you wield," a Tygra said.
"But what about the old adage 'Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely'?" Sam asked.
"There is some truth to it," Tygra admitted. "But it depends on where your heart takes your power. Power does not make a person good or evil. Queen Serenity had power but she used it for the betterment of all, as do the Senshi…"
Sam opened her eyes, her face set in resolve. She rose to her feet. "Akuma, I have a message for your master," she said.
He looked at her. "You are merely a human," he scoffed.
"Phoenix Spirit Power! Make UP!" she yelled, thrusting her left hand to the sky. White light engulfed her. As it faded away, they could see dark red, nearly black baggy pants, a dark red, nearly black baggy shirt, and a dark red, nearly black hood and mask had appeared. Her sword stuck up over her right shoulder, a thick black belt around her waist as she glared at Akuma.
"She…she's back!" Venus said.
"You think that impresses me?" Akuma sneered.
"Chosen by fate to protect the galaxy, I am the Guardian of Rebirth and soldier of the Sun…Sailor Phoenix!"
Akuma's eyes narrowed. "Guardian eh? Then try this!" His hand shot out, black fire leaping out.
Phoenix leapt to the side. She drew her sword. "Inferno Spirit Slash!" she yelled, swinging the blade. Red-hot fire struck Akuma and forced him away.
"We'll meet again Phoenix," he growled and vanished.
"Kael! Hang on!" Moon cried. Phoenix ran over to the fallen man. His breathing was heavily labored as he struggled for breath.
Phoenix picked his hand up. "Don't you dare leave Kael," she told him. "You have too much to live for."
"His…his pulse is fading…" Mercury said softly.
"No…" Moon sobbed. "Don't leave Kael! Please!"
His hand fell limp in Sam's hand. "He's…dead…" Mercury whispered.
"NO!" Moon snapped. "Don't say that! Don't say that…" she cried. The Inner Senshi pulled her into a hug.
Phoenix lifted Kael's lifeless hand to her face and held it there. A single tear slipped past her stoic façade and touched his skin. "Don't leave…not now…" she whispered. "I need you…"
"Oh my god…" Uranus breathed. The Inner Senshi looked up and their eyes widened in shock.
The glow around Kael's body slowly faded, his injuries miraculously healed. He opened his eyes and blinked in confusion. "What just happened?" he asked.
