Heart of a Soldier

Chapter 9:

Serena watched the senshi transform, waiting patiently for them to finish. "Wow," said Sailor Mars, "I can't believe how all of this has worked out..." Serena searched threw one of her coat pockets, causing Sailor Venus to raise a brow. "It's been awhile since I've used this," Serena said, pulling out her broach. Sailor Venus smiled, "Yeah it has." Serena smiled and threw her hand in the air. "MOON TRINITY POWER!"

Sailor Venus smiled as prisms began to mold Serena's leather attair into a white leathery body suit. It was a turtle neck, with long white boots and gloves, covering every inch of her body, minus her head or face. A white band with a crescent moon appeared on her forehead, encircling the rest of her head. The crescent moon was made of diamond, and was adorned by white gold pieces here and there. Sailor Moon looked into the eyes of the senshi, and smiled.

That's when they noticed her sais change into a newer weapon. They became gold crescent shaped blades, easily useful like her old ones. The handles to the blades were white, with little crescent moon lining all the way down until the blade. Sailor Moon smiled and lead the girls to the center of the city, by jumping over the rooftops to go unnoticed. That's when Sailor Venus had a sudden realization. This was going to be harder than Chaos had ever even imagined.

Sailor Moon suddenly stopped, and the senshi staired on in horror. In the center of the city, a dark crystal had grown, becoming a Dark Crystal Palace. "Oh my God," Sailor Mercury gasped in horror. Sailor Moon hadn't heard. She was looking at the roof of the Palace, where Diamond was sitting. The eclipse had begun. And the senshi were now terrified by the sudden rumble in the Earth.

"WHAT THE HELL!" Sailor Moon watched Diamond closely. The symbol on his forehead was glowing green, as was the castle now. Sailor Mars suddenly cried out, "What about the people down there Sailor Moon!" Sudden winds had stopped any communication between the senshi, and the sudden realization of the eclipse's power had silenced any attempt. Sailor Jupiter could feel herself choke back a scream. Time had stopped, and the people of Earth were frozen statues.

She then clutched a fist. 'No Lyta, we must wait for the right time.' Sailor Jupiter's eyes widened at the realization Sailor Moon's voice was now in her head. Sailor Moon turned back to them as the winds calmed, "We must hurry, there is no time to waste. The eclipse will be over soon, but that won't stop Diamond. It's only the beggining, as soon as the eclipse is over, his army will be free from the castle. You have to put up the barrier and soon!" The senshi followed Sailor Moon in once more returning to the ground.

Rubeus could see them now, and was flabergasted. "SIRE!" Diamond looked down to see the senshi. "Hmmm... so you chose them Serena? You chose to live in this dead world? No matter. I can change your mind." Sailor Moon's hair blew into her eyes, but Diamond could see the frigid silver burning in them. "My choice was made long ago." Diamond smiled, "So sad, you have to align with these pathetic senshi."

Sailor Jupiter prepared her attack. "I'll show you pathetic! JUPITER THUNDER CLAP ZAP!" Diamond leaped out of the way, flipping to the other side. "Like I said," he said his eyes flashing. Suddenly an invisible force threw Sailor Jupiter into a nearby car. She moaned and rolled off to the other side. "Pathetic."

Sailor Mercury shrieked and ran to her side. Or at least tried to. Before she got half way the same invisible force lifted her up and threw her into a tree. "Leave them alone! Fuck you Diamond!" Diamond smiled at Sailor Moon's protest, "I truly wish you would do me the honor my dear. But as I said, I'll have you either way. If I have to pick off your friends one.." He then used his powers to levitate Sailor Mars. "By.." Sailor Venus shrieked as she realized she was also being levitated. Before either could truly protest, the two were thrown into opposite buildings. "One."

Diamond smiled, " Do come see me, I'll be waiting." Diamond disappeared, leaving Rubeus, Sapphire, and Emerald behind. Sailor Moon growled low in her throat. "Moon Spiral Heart Attack!" Before the three could attack they were held off by Moon's attack. "Sailor Venus!" Sailor Venus and the others gradually stood, and Sailor Venus was ten feet from Sailor Moon. "I cannot take them in the barrier with me, so you will have to hold it up with them on the outside! Uranus and Neptune will be here in a moment, and they'll hold them off." "We're here now Sere!" Sailor Moon looked into the direction the voice had come from, and nodded.

"Sailor Venus, it's time to form the barrier. You can only contact each other through your mind." Sailor Venus nodded and sat in her position, infront of the castle. Sailor Mars followed, sitting on the left side of the castle, then Jupiter on the right, and Sailor Mercury on the other side.

Sailor Venus looked back at Moon one last time. "I'm counting on you Mi." Sailor Venus nodded and began her chant. "VENUS PLANET POWER!" "MERCURY PLANET POWER!" "MARS PLANET POWER!" "JUPITER PLANET POWER!" Sailor Moon used her powers to throw the three enemies into the street. She nodded to Sailor Venus from behind. "SAILOR PLANET POWER!" Sailor Neptune and Uranus watched as Sailor Moon disappeared behind the walls of the planetary barrier. The battle had begun.

Our Truth by Lacuna Coil

Clock is ticking while I'm killing time
Spinning all around
Nothing else that you can do
To turn it back

Wicked partnership in this crime
Ripping off the best, condescending smile

Trying to forget (Wasting my time)
We're falling right through
Lying to forget (Telling more lies)
We're raising our truth

COME and tease me

Clock is ticking while I'm stealing time
Can't you turn it back?
Stop the cycle,set me free
Run away

Silence sneaking along my path
Grab the rope off me, feeling like we'll fly(Feeling like we'll fly)

Trying to forget (Wasting my time)
The fall of my truth
Lying to forget (Telling more lies)
We're raising our truth

Trying to forget (Wasting my time)
We're falling right through
Lying to forget (Telling more lies)
We're raising our truth
