Chapter 20: Blades Speak Louder than Words

Koaru got to his feet and ran at King Soul, who threw more sphere's at him. Koaru dodges them, then as he passed the remains of the two fallen warriors, he grabbed their swords, and remember, these swords are huge. Koaru held one in each hand and attacked Soul, who trapped Amy in a bubble (yes, another one) and drew his own sword. Koaru leapt at Soul, and their blades clashed, causing sparks to shoot off the edges. Koaru then swung the other sword around and Soul jumped out of the way. Koaru then threw the sword at him, which missed and struck the wall, becoming lodged in it. "What was that?" King Soul taunted. Koaru smiled, "An advantage." he then leapt up, grabbed the handle of the stuck sword, and swung himself over and at Soul, who paused a moment too long. Koaru slashed him across the chest, and Soul fell to the ground, blood pouring from the wound. Koaru landed, on the ground, and Soul struck his sword into the ground. "Black Quake Strike!" The ground exploded, and Koaru was sent into the wall again, the last sword flying into the ceiling.

"Damn it," Koaru thought to himself as he tried to think of a new plan. Then he sighed. "I have no other choice but to use the Shadow Scar's power, even though I may lose control again."

"Time to die, princess!" King Soul said as he wrapped Amy in bands of coils made of dark energy. The coils wrapped tightly around her, and Amy started to suffocate. "STOP!" Sailor Moon screamed at King Soul, who looked at her with a smile. "No." he said, then he trapped them all in one of his bubbles.

"Can't...breathe..." Amy thought to herself as the coils continued to constrict around her. Then she heard someone yell "Amy!" She opened her eyes and saw Koaru. "...Koaru..." Amy managed to whisper before she passed out.

"NO!"Koaru yelled as he saw Amy pass out. "King Soul, I'll kill you!" he shouted, anger burning in his soul. "Sure," King Soul laughed, then his heart skipped a beat. Koaru had achieved the full power of the Shadow Scar! His body was surrounded by swirling energies, and the mark had fully covered his body. Now Koaru was transforming, his hands curving into claws, his face expanding, his skin replaced with blue fur, his hair turning blood red, and from his head grew two horns curving from his skull down his back. "The fool," King Soul thought, "he forgot that I gave him that mark, so he can't even touch me."

"This is for you ,Amy." Koaru thought to himself. He then threw himself at King Soul and hammered into...thin air! King Soul had teleported himself across the room. "You fool," King Soul said to Koaru, "you forgot that as long as I live, the Shadow Scar's power can't harm me, and I see that you still can't control it!"

"Oh no!" Sailor Moon said from inside the force field that held her and the others prisoner, "that means Koaru can't win!"

"You may prevent me from using the power on you," Koaru said to King Soul, but I

can still use it to free my friends." He then leapt into the air, extending his right claw as he went, then when he was over top of the force field, he gathered energy into his claw and,

as he slashed the air as he brought his arm down, he cried, "Galian Beast Crusher!"

"NO!" King Soul cried as the energy released and shattered the force field

to pieces. King Soul then said, "I believe that I have humiliated you all enough for one day, so goodbye." With that, he vanished from the room. Koaru breathed for a minute, then changed back to normal, except that he was only wearing torn pants now.

"Amy, wake up. Please, wake up." Koaru said as he slashed the cords binding her

and lay her on the floor. "No, this can't be, she can't be..." Sailor Moon said. "Damn it, Amy, wake up. You saved my life and I am not going to let you die because of me." Koaru

said, tears streaking his face. "I...I can't live without you, Amy, so please, open your eyes." With those words, he kissed her.

"Where am I?" Amy asked herself.She felt like her body was floating in space, and felt less and less, floating towards a bright light. Then she felt something touch her lips, and it hit her. "Koaru!" She cried out, feeling herself wake up.

"Oh, thank God." Koaru said when he saw Amy open her eyes. "She's ALIVE!

All right!" Sailor Venus yelled. "Why...what happened?" Amy asked. "We'll tell you at home, all right?" Koaru said with a smile. "Yeah Chapter 20: Blades Speak Louder than Words
