To get men in white coats chasing you, run around screaming "The Jell-O gods are coming!"...

Haruka: I'm really starting to get very concerned about Carter's lack of sanity.

Being sane isn't fun. You don't get away with stuff...not that I do...um...MONKEY!

Elphie Muse: Moving on...all original canon Sailor Moon characters do not belong to Carter. And Akira belongs to RunningStorm, yada yada yada...


Last time on Eternal Senshi III...

"The weapon was created to seal the soul of the King. Once sealed, the weapon must be placed where the sun's light cannot reach it. Otherwise, the King's power will be able to escape," Chie said.

"Where's the weapon?" Arashi demanded.

The old man looked at Arashi. "The fate of the galaxy and all who live, rests on your arm," he said, fading away.


Arashi blinked and found himself back at the battle, the Senshi and Guardians fighting Luc and losing. The fate of the galaxy and all who live, rests on your arm… Chie's voice echoed in his head.

"My arm?" he repeated softly. Realization dawned on him. "The gauntlet!" he exclaimed. The wind naginata appeared in his hand and he slammed it into the ground, throwing Luc away from his friends and family.

"What are you doing?" Tempest yelled.

"This fight is mine and mine alone!" Arashi bellowed. "Don't interfere, no matter what happens."

"You're funeral boy," Luc laughed.

"Not today," Arashi growled. "What Chie failed to do, I will finish today!"

Uranus frowned. "Chie…that was the guy from…"

"Our past lives' son…" Neptune finished.

"How does Arashi know him?" Uranus questioned.

"Chie? That weakling could barely fight me! What makes you think you'll do better boy?" Luc smirked. "You're just a Guardian!"

"Honto?" he asked, holding up his right arm. The gauntlet shone brightly in the sunlight as did the blades on the naginata.

"The Legendary Guardian…" Luc snarled.

"And I'm here to kill you," Arashi added. He leapt in and the two began fighting fiercely, their battle kicking up dirt and wind.

Phoenix watched with the other Senshi and Guardians. Tempest rested a hand on her friend's shoulder. Phoenix looked at the Wind and Sea Senshi. "He'll be fine," Tempest said confidently. "Arashi doesn't know how to fail."

"But if he kills the King of Hell, he'll become the next King," Hikari said.

"NANI?" the others exclaimed.

"Arashi don't!" Neptune cried.

The Legendary Guardian ignored their cries as he fought. He dodged several swipes made by the evil King. Arashi then slashed Luc across the chest and leapt over him, spinning the naginata as he did so. Luc was forced to the ground and Arashi kicked him violently in the ribs, knocking the King back several dozen feet. The lightening blade appeared in Arashi's hands and he thrust it forward, blue lightening dancing around the blade with each swing he made. He then slammed the blade down and Luc was engulfed in a strong bolt of lightening.

Without hesitating, Arashi summoned the fire blade and slammed it down. A wave of fire shot out and struck the King. The Senshi could see that the King was beginning to weaken. The Guardian then called the wind naginata back and spun around, a huge wall of wind slamming the King of Hell into the wall of the school.

Arashi walked forward as Luc pushed himself to his knees. "What now boy? If you kill me, you become me. Do you think they'll be able to stop you if you do that?" Luc scoffed, spitting a globule of blood to the side.

"I told you. What Chie failed to do so long ago I will finish today," Arashi said calmly, his eyes glowing with power.

"You'll become him!" Uranus cried.

"There has to be another way!" Moon added.

With a roar Arashi stabbed the King of Hell through the heart with the naginata. He pulled his weapon free and watched as Luc's body faded away, leaving nothing but a sickly looking black mist behind. It slowly began to float towards Arashi.

"Doushite?" Phoenix whispered, tears falling from her golden eyes. "Now you'll become him."

Arashi held his right wrist with his left hand and held both of them forward. The gauntlet began to glow and the mist was drawn to it. His arm began to shake with exertion but he did not let up until it all had been taken into the gauntlet.

"The gauntlet was created for this purpose," he explained softly.

Once sealed, the weapon must be placed where the sun's light cannot reach it… Chie's voice echoed in the Guardian's mind.

The only place where the sun's light never reaches is…the sun… Arashi thought. But by giving up the gauntlet, I lose my powers… he realized. He looked at his friends and family, but most of all Phoenix. It'll be well worth it, he decided.

"So…is it over then?" Chibi Moon asked.

"Not yet," Arashi answered.

"What do you mean?" Jidai asked.

"You fought, you killed, you sealed," Neo Pluto added.

"If I don't banish this gauntlet, then his energy will still escape," the Legendary Guardian explained.

"Banish it where?" Neo Mercury asked.

"The one place where the sun's light never reaches," Arashi said.

The others thought this over. "The sun," Mars said. The Guardian nodded.

"You can't Arashi. Once you surrender the gauntlet, you'll be human and die!" Phoenix exclaimed.

"I'll do it," Uranus and Neptune said together.

"No," Arashi said. "This is my duty; my mission."

"Kai…" Phoenix whispered.

He stepped away from them, resolve in his eyes with a hint of sadness. "Sayonara…" he said.

"Yamette!" Moon cried but it was too late. White light engulfed the young Guardian and he vanished from sight.

"He's…he's gone…" Venus whispered.

"NO!" Uranus snarled, grabbing Venus roughly. "No…he is not gone. Do you understand? My son is not gone!" Jupiter, Mars, Akira, and Pluto pried the two apart. Tears slid down the Wind Senshi's face as she repeated over and over that Kai wasn't gone.

"This can't be…" Neptune sobbed, holding onto her partner.

"My brother can't be gone!" Tempest insisted, knowing in her heart that he was.

Moon remained silent, knowing that Arashi had done the only thing possible to ensure that the Legion could never rise again. Tears slid from her eyes. Fighter held Moon close, tears sliding down the Starlight's face as well.

"We won…but the cost was far too high," Mercury whispered, holding onto Kaze and her daughter.

Arashi walked into the temple in the sun. He made his way into a hidden chamber and stared at the pedestal for the gauntlet. He pulled it off and let out a slow breath of resolve.

"This gauntlet has achieved its purpose in sealing away the leader of the Legion. As the Legendary Guardian, I relinquish my powers so that this gauntlet will keep the evil within sealed for all time." He gently placed it on the stand and saw that his normal clothes had reappeared on his body. His vision began to blur and fade as the affects of being in a place with little to no air kicked in. He closed his eyes and smiled as he fell to the ground on his back.

"You have fulfilled your destiny as the Legendary Guardian," a warm voice said. "But you still have your destiny of being a Guardian ahead of you." Kai felt a gentle hand rest on his forehead and power filled him once more. "Now fulfill your mission to protect my daughter, Princess Serenity."

"We should go," Pluto said.

"Give them all some time," Moon said, looking from Uranus and her family to the Starlights and the Starlight Guardian.

A soft thud met their ears and they looked around. "Son of a…!" a voice exclaimed with a yelp of pain. A figure in a school uniform limped into view, holding his left shoulder. "Bad landing…" he muttered.

"Ma…masaka…" Tempest whispered.

"Kai!" Phoenix exclaimed, throwing herself at him. He fell to the ground as she tackled him in a bear hug.

"How? I mean, by giving up his powers he should have…died…right?" Neo Mercury asked.

Phoenix helped Kai to his feet as his family ran over and engulfed him in a large hug. Once they were done he straightened his uniform. "I was dying," he said. "And would have too."

"But?" Saturn prompted.

Kai looked at Moon. "Your mother came and saved me. Told me that I fulfilled my destiny as the Legendary Guardian but not as a Guardian."

"And what did Queen Serenity say your destiny as a Guardian is?" Moon asked.

"To protect you," Kai said.

"So is it…" Venus began when Mars, Jupiter, Mercury, and Moon clamped their hands over her mouth.

"Don't say it!" they exclaimed.

"You'll jinx us," Fighter said. "Besides, even if it is over, the cost was still high."

"I'm sorry I couldn't save her," Kai said.

"You did what you could," Maker said.

"And for that we're grateful," Akira added.

"Our Princess's soul is at peace because of you," Healer said. "Arigatou."

"So will you three be staying here then?" Venus asked.

The three nodded. "We'll respect our Princess's last wish…even if she hadn't made it we would have stayed," Maker said.

Moon smiled. "Welcome to your new home."

"So when do we party?" Jidai asked.

"Excuse me?" Pluto asked.

"We stopped the Legion of Hell for good this time," Kai said. "I'm with Jidai. We party," he agreed.

"And what makes you think we'll agree to that?" Uranus asked.

"Ah don't worry about them. We'll throw you guys a party," Fighter said, throwing her arms around Phoenix and Kai's shoulders.

"I hate to put a damper on this festive mood, but don't you have classes to attend?" Mercury asked. The seven teens' faces fell making the older Senshi and Guardians laugh.

A figure walked into a large room, marble decorating the floors, walls, and columns. The room itself looked like something out of Ancient Greece or Rome. The figure wore black armor, demonic figures etched into the metal. The figure approached a gold throne and knelt down, his head bowed.

"What news?" a cold, feminine voice asked.

"We have confirmation that the Legion has been stopped," the man said.

The woman snorted. "As was predicted. Ja'aku, have you anything else to report?" she demanded.

"There have been rumors of a half vampire fighting alongside Sailor Moon and the others," Ja'aku answered. "We've yet to confirm the rumors Queen Kurai."

"Keep looking into them. If it is true, then the vampire is a traitor and will be dealt with accordingly.

"Yes my Queen," Ja'aku said with a bow. He rose to his feet and bowed out of the room, a cold smile on his face.

Kira rested her head on Kai's chest as they lounged around on the roof to the school. "We're not gonna have a lot of free time once the CD comes out, are we?" Kira asked, looking up at him.

"Not really. The single's already hit the top of the charts since we sent it out," Kai replied. "Is that a problem?" he asked.

"No. I mean, you'll have to make sure I don't get picked up by some hot guy," she teased, kissing him on the cheek.

"Oh I will, will I?" he asked with a grin. He let out a slow breath. "Even though it's peaceful now…I guess we won't have a peaceful life."

"Are you sad about that?" Kira asked.

"Not really. I've been trying so hard to have somewhat of an exciting life since my sister came into her powers that now I guess I've got it." He grinned. "In more ways than one too."

Kira smiled. "Yeah." She looked at Kai. "Is there anything between Yaten and Minako? I noticed how they looked at each other."

Kai shrugged. "Dunno. It's possible. I say there's something developing between Akira and Mako-san," he said.

Kira nodded in agreement. "Too bad Taiki doesn't have anyone."

Kai started laughing. "Oh, don't be too sure. Even though she's technically far older than him, Hikari and Taiki have been getting close."

"Interesting combination. Vampire and Starlight," Kira giggled.

The Guardian shrugged. "Eh, stranger things have happened," he replied.

"Yo! Kai, Kira! Class is getting ready to start!" Reno yelled at them. The two got up and went downstairs, plastering smiles on their faces as their fellow students begged for autographs.
