Losing a Friend, by Boyce
Chapter 3 : Revenge
/ The Battle Ground \
A red-haired girl was at the exact same place as Debra was the other time, sending dark energy into the ground. Up on the same building was Xeb, looking at Feyla, as she was doing as instructed before by her Master.
"Hmm, I sense them. They are coming", said a calm Xeb. "Feyla, they are coming... Be prepared", he said telepatically to Feyla. "All right, Master", she replied in the same way. She continued her work, casting dark energy into the ground.
"So, you've come back for more... You'll pay dearly for what you did to our friend. We will not let you cast that dark energy on our planet. So in the name of the Moon, I'll punish you", said an angry Sailor Moon.
"I dont think so", said Feyla, in a calm voice. With these word, she concentrated the dark energy in her hands, and released a powerful blast in the direction of the Scouts. They jumped out of the way, and the blast went crashing into a building in the back, causing a big explosion.
"Take that"
"JUPITER THUNDER CRASH" "SHINE AQUA ILLUSION"
The combined attack of Jupiter and Mercury was heading right at Feyla. She saw it coming, and jumped over it. She replied with a big ball of energy coming out of her hand, and sent it right at the ground. It made a big dark explosion as it hit the ground, sending everyone down because of the impact.
"Hahaha, that was too easy. I can't believe Debra failed to weaklings like you". With these words, she got back to her initial position, and started casting dark energy into the ground again.
"We need just a little more dark energy Feyla. You made a great job! Hahaha", said Xeb to himself.
"Are you guys all right?", asked Mars. They all gave a life sign. Mercury got up, and noticed that the guy who killed Venus was standing at the same place. But his arms were crossed. "This is bad news, the same guy that took out Venus is there, on the same roof". They all looked at him.
"He'll pay... First we destroy that thing there, and after, we get him for Venus", said Sailor Moon to the group. They all agreed. "We must beat them in Team Work, got it?", replied Sailor Moon, the fire of a conquering leader in her blue eyes.
"You got it Sailor Moon", answered Mercury.
"MERCURY BUBBLES BLAST"
A mist covered the region. Feyla was too occupied at casting her energy. She didn't noticed at first. But when she lift her head, she saw nothing but mist. "What the??... I can't see a thing", she said to herself.
"JUPITER THUNDER DRAGON" "MARS FIRE IGNITE"
"What was that?", said Feyla. "I better move out of here". She jumped out of the way and landed a little further. The Electrical Fire-Breathing dragon was heading at the first spot. Mars and Jupiter focused their energy on the creature they saw earlier. The Dragon turned, and went directly where Feyla was standing now. She never saw the attack coming in the mist, as the dragon ate her alive. A scream was launched in the distance. The mist started to fade, and they could see a bleeding Feyla, to her knees.
"Damn... I won't allow my plan to be destroyed, not by these twits", said Xeb.
"You'll pay for taking Sailor Venus away from us!! DIE!!!!!!!!!", screamed Sailor Moon.
"MOON SCEPTER ELIMINATION"
As Sailor Moon was unleashing her attack, Xeb charged a beam in his hand, and sent it right at Sailor Moon. Tuxedo Mask was keeping an eye on the guy, and he threw a perfect rose in the path of the beam, which made an explosion in mid-air, affecting nobody. Sailor Moon was releasing her attack on a weak Feyla. The Scepter attack hit her right in the head, reducing her to Moondust.
"DAMN YOU!!! I WAS SO CLOSE. YOU'LL PAY DEARLY FOR THIS", said a very angry Xeb. As he was releasing an attack, the ground began to shake.
"H-H-Hey... What's happening?", said Jupiter.
"I don't know... Stay on your guard everyone", said Tuxedo Mask.
As he finished his sentence, a big dark hole appeared right where Feyla was first spotted. "What's that?", asked Sailor Moon.
"Bad news", said Mercury, analysing data on her computer. "That creature has cast too much dark energy in the core of our Planet. It's going to explode from all that dark energy".
"What can we do Mercury?". "I don't know Mars. We must stabilize all that energy in some sort of way. I don't see how we can do it".
"Maybe a Sailor Planet Power will work", said Sailor Moon.
"But were missing Venus...", said Jupiter sadly.
"We must try Jupiter!! We have nothing to lose anyway", replied Mercury.
"All right, everybody's ready?", asked Sailor Moon. "YEAH".
"Be strong girls, you can do it", said Tuxedo Mask.
"MOON CRYSTAL POWER" "MERCURY STAR POWER" "MARS STAR POWER" "JUPITER STAR POWER" "SAILOR PLANET POWER"
A beam emerged from all of them, and went directly into the hole. A big flash of light occured, but the Earth was still shaking around them.
"Did it work?" asked the hoping leader.
"I'm afraid not Sailor Moon... The energy is still unstable", answered the blue Scout, still taping on her computer.
"HAHAHA Feyla did succeed in putting enough dark energy into this puny planet. Hahaha!! Now I just need to stable the dark energy with this pure energy, AND THE UNIVERSE WILL BE MINE!! HAHAHA", said an evil Xeb.
"Oh no you don't". Sailor Moon got her scepter out.
"Wait Sailor Moon", said Tuxedo Mask. "WHY?", replied an impatient Sailor Moon.
"He just said he wants to "stabilize" the dark energy. I think what Darien's trying to say is that we should let him stable that dark energy, and after, we'll try to figure a way to destroy him", explained Mercury. "... Oh all right", ended Sailor Moon regaining some self-control.
They looked at him. He landed besides the dark energy hole. "Fools!! You'll soon be all my slaves!! HAHAHAHA!!". He took his crystal out. It was still shaking in his hand.
"Hey… HEY!! THAT'S...", screamed the leader. "Venus Energy!!! He must have kept it with him when he hit her with that beam", completed Mars.
"You're right. This is that Venus energy you are all talking about. This energy will help me dominate the world!! HAHAHA".
Mercury was analysing the crystal that Xeb had in his hands. "Hmm... Venus's energy is not stable either... He can't use it to...". But before she could finish her sentence, Xeb threw the crystal into the hole.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO VENUS!!!!!! No...", Sailor Moon fell to her knees... She started to cry.
"Sailor Moon...", Tuxedo Mask comforted her.
"This was the only chance we had of getting her back... We blew it, didn't we?", asked a sad Jupiter. Mercury closed her computer, and nodded sadly.
The Earth stopped shaking. "HAHAHAHA Now any second, the Universe will be filled with dark energy... MY dark energy, and it will be mine, ALL MINE!! HAHAHA!"
"I'm not giving up that easily", said Sailor Moon.
"Right, we'll fight to the finish for Venus!", replied Jupiter.
"Hahaha So touching, but the fact is you can't do a thing against me!". He lift his arm, and he threw dark balls of energy on the ground, blasting the Scouts and Tuxedo Mask to their knees.
"Damn, he's so strong". Do not give up Scouts. As long as their hope, we'll fight for it", yelled Tuxedo Mask.
"Pretty words TuxedoGuy, but hope is gone from this planet!! HAHAHAHA" The Earth began shaking again. "HAHAHAHA HERE IT IS!!! DARK ENERGY!!!".
Suddenly, a brilliant light emerged from the hole, blinding the Scouts, Tuxedo Mask and Xeb completelely. "W-What's happening?", said Xeb. This didn't happen on the two other planets". A big white beam emerged from the bright light, sending Xeb into a wall in the back.
"What's going on in here?", asked a puzzled Jupiter.
"Beats me", replied Mars.
Mercury was now smiling a bit. "I think I know... Look at the beam now". Everybody turned their head to look at the beam... The beam faded slowly. As it was completely gone, the ground stopped shaking again. A spirit was floating over the hole, emitting an orange aura.
"It's impossible... That's... That's...". Jupiter tried to form a complete sentence, but just couldn't.
"Yes Jupiter, it is the spirit of Venus", confirmed Mercury.
"But how.. is this possible?", asked Mars.
"Simple. The energy of Venus in that crystal wasn't stable. So if it wasn't stable, it means it still contained a bit of life. When that guy threw it into the dark hole, the pure energy got out, and stabilized all the dark energy. But it also woke up the spirit that was resting into that energy... The Spirit of Sailor Venus". They all look at Mercury, half of them didn't even understand what was going on.
He leader took a couple of steps toward the being. "Is… is that really you Mina?". The leader was now crying.
"Yes Sailor Moon... It's really me. I miss you guys so much" replied the spirit. Her voice echoed on the surrounding buildings.
"We miss you too Venus", said Jupiter, tears falling from her eyes.
"Please don't cry... It makes me sad to see all of you cry for me. I did what I had to do... Protect the Princess", explained Mina
Xeb was getting up, still weak from the blast he received. "Damn... I didn't wait long enough... My plan is ruined. But how can this Spirit still be there", he thought to himself.
The Scouts were now looking at him. Sailor Moon advanced in front of the group. "You tried to destroy our world... We can't let this pass without a punishment. Feel the wrath of the Sailor Scouts! DIE!!!!!!!!".
"MOON SCEPTER ELIMINATION" "SHINE AQUA ILLUSION" "MARS CELESTIAL FIRE SURROUND" "JUPITER THUNDERCLAP ZAP"
The Spirit of Venus lent her energy to Sailor Moon, as Tuxedo Mask sent all the roses he had at his enemy.
"All because I didn't wait a couple of hours more... No... It's too". Those were the last words he said.
A water attack crashed in him, freezing every part of his body. Jupiter electrified the roses of Tuxedo Mask. They cracked the ice, delivering a massive shock to Xeb. He also sustained deep cuts. The Rings of Fire of Mars crashed into the ice, shattering it completely, and inflicting a massive amount of heavy burns to Xeb. Finally, the Scepter of Moon with the power of Venus finished the job, as the orange beam from the scepter made dust out of the villain, ending his suffering.
After the battle was over, the hole of dark energy closed, as it was now stable because of Venus's pure energy. The Scouts and Tuxedo Mask were looking at the Spirit of their friend, still floating in mid-air.
"Can you come back, Venus?" asked Tuxedo Mask.
"I wish I could Darien... But I feel my energy being blown away little by little... I won't be here for much longer." As these words were heard, each girl shared a tear. "I'm sorry... I really want to be with you guys again. But I guess it is not my destiny".
"We understand Venus... You'll live in our heart, always", said a sad Mars, drying her tears again.
"Thank you Mars, Jupiter, Mercury and Tuxedo Mask", Mina replied.
"But Mina... I don't want to lose you again. I was so sad when you left us. I felt guilty. It's all my fault if you are gone... I'm so sorry", said Sailor Moon, crying even more.
"Princess... It was my duty to protect you. It wasn't your fault at all... I did what I had to do", said the Spirit.
"But... But..." are the only words Sailor Moon could get out of her mouth.
The Spirit got close to Sailor Moon. "Sailor Moon, I'll always be by your side, no matter what. Remember that for me", she said to her friend. "Yes Venus... Mina".
The Spirit lift an empty hand to touch Sailor Moon. She passed through her, but one tear of Sailor Moon touched the ghostly form of Venus. A bright flash of light appeared where the Spirit was, forcing everybody to close their eyes. It lasted for 5-6 seconds. When the light vanished, they all opened their eyes. Everything was normal again. The Spirit of Venus was gone and the silence of the night returned to the streets. "Good-Bye, my friend", Sailor Moon whispered to herself, as tears fell out of her eyes again.
It was a scream that got her out of her thoughts. "What is it?", she asked.
"LOOK", pointed Sailor Jupiter. Sailor Moon followed the hand of Jupiter until she saw something on the ground. It was wearing orange colors, with long blond hair, and a red ribbon.
"I... I don't believe it... It's... IT'S". "VENUS", they all screamed.
The four girls rushed to the body on the ground, losing tears on the way, and Tuxedo Mask was running behing them, with a smile on his face.
Mars got there first, and took the head of her friend. "Venus!! Wake up!!", she said. The others arrived shortly after. Mercury took the hand of her friend again, to check her pulse. A moment of silence filled the place. The face of Mercury could be seen again... Tears were falling from her eyes. She shook affirmatively her head, still holding the hand of her friend. "All right Venus. Wake up, Please Venus", asked Jupiter.
Her wish was granted. Venus opened her eyes slowly and saw all her friends around her. "Hey Guys". They all gave her a big hug, welcoming her back, and crying of joy.
"I missed you too", Venus said, now sharing a tear with her friends.
Tuxedo Mask was in the back, smiling at the scene. "Welcome Back, Warrior of Love..." he said to himself.
"Can you stand up Venus?", asked a happy Mercury.
"I feel as weak as a kitten. I may need transportation", the weaken blonde warrior replied.
"That will be easily arranged. Darien, could you carry her to the Temple?", asked Sailor Moon.
"What? You'll let me touch another girl, other than you. Hmm, are you really Serena?", he asked laughing. Sailor Moon was now blushing.
Tuxedo Mask advanced to Venus, and picked her up. "Thank you Tuxedo Mask".
"No Problem Venus. We're glad you're back". They started walking in the direction of the Temple, happy from the result of the events.

/ Tokyo, at the Temple \
Luna and Artemis were outside. They were still laying down, besides the Venus monument. Artemis looked up at the sky.
"Luna... Do you think Venus is watching us from the sky?" Luna didn't answer... She looked at the monument again. She heard footsteps and laughs coming from the back.
"I guess the girls had a great night... I can hear them laugh", Luna said.
"Yeah... I can still hear the laugh of Mina between them" Artemis replied, laying down again.
Luna went to welcome the group, and returned as fast as she could. "ARTEMIS!! It's a miracle", Luna said, crying. "Hmm? What is it?" he asked.
"Turn your head, and you'll see", she replied. Artemis turned his head slowly. It wasn't long before he jumped on his paws.
"Hey there Kitty. Did ya miss me?", Venus said, still in the arms of Tuxedo Mask.
"... ... is it really you, Mina??... It's not a trick or something?", he asked.
"Do you think we are crazy enough to make a trick involving Venus after what happened a couple of weeks ago, Artemis?", Sailor Moon said.
He didn't answer, he ran as fast he could and jumped on Venus's body. "IT IS YOU!! YOU'RE BACK... BUT HOW...?". He didn't have the time to complete his sentence.
"Oh we will tell you all the story Artemis. Mercury will explain it for us. I didn't catch a word what she said earlier tonight", Jupiter said.
"Yeah, but for now Prince, may we go inside?? It's getting cold here", Venus said.
"As you wish, Venus". He then laughed at these words, like everybody, except Sailor Moon.
"Hey wait a sec. You're back since 10 minutes, and you are already after my boyfriend? Get back here Mina", she ended, as Tuxedo Mask rushed himself in the Temple.
They all laughed that night. They told the whole story to the two cats. "We did hear some explosions, and sensed an evil energy. But Artemis didn't want to go. And I didn't want to leave him alone in his condition", Luna explained. The important is that this battle was over, and the most important thing, they each recovered a friend dear to them. Sailor Moon's friendship and love for her friends brought Venus back to life.
