Chapter Eight
Setsuna's P.O.V.
"No! Stop! Seleine!"I cried.
Jadeite dropped Seleine on the ground and watched her body throw itself around. He watched with big round eyes. He clearly took pleasure in what was happening to her.
"Get up dark one!" Beryl commanded.
Seleine opened her eyes and sat up. Her eyes were pitch black. She was gone. I just got her back and she left me again. I started screaming. I wasn't even sure what I was saying. The pain in my heart was too much.
Seleine stood up and walked towards the frozen Sailor Moon.
"Kill her!" Beryl ordered.
Kunzite lets go of Sailor Moon and backs away. He knew Seleine's cruelty too well to get involved. Seleine bent down and grabbed Sailor Moon's chin. Seleine pulled Sailor Moon up to her level. Seleine bore into her eyes without blinking. Sailor Moon was hypnotized.
All of a sudden Sailor Moon's eyes turned black. She turned Sailor Moon evil.
"You were supposed to kill her!" Beryl yelled. "But I suppose this would be much more fun."
"Sailor Moon!" The Inner Senshi cried. The senshi tried desperately hard to get up but couldn't. The pain inflicted on them was too much.
Sailor Moon transformed into Princess Serenity and turned toward us. She started walking towards Sailor Mars. Sailor Mars began to whimper and cry. Serenity was going to kill us.
I was too busy watching Serenity I didn't even notice Seleine standing right in front of me until she kicked me in the ribs. The force was incredible. I felt all of my ribs break. I hit a tree and landed on the ground next to it. Seleine started walking toward me again.
Neptune had gotten up and planned to sneak attack Seleine, but Seleine was too smart to let that happen. She turned right when Neptune threw her attack at her. Seleine stood still and let the attack hit her.
Seleine didn't budge. She collected all of the energy from Neptune's attack and threw it back at her. Neptune screamed and flew twenty feet. She had a better landing than I did but was still coughing up blood.
Seleine walked toward her and punched her hard. Seleine broke Neptune's nose and didn't even hurt her hand with the punch.
I turned to look at Serenity and saw her doing the same to the Inner Senshi. She was putting them on the brink of death. Serenity kicked Sailor Mercury hard. She kicked her in the ribs multiple times. She then stomped on Mercury's face.
Seleine was walking toward Sailor Uranus now. I had to watch carefully. If Seleine even hesitated to hurt Uranus, then I would know my best friend was still in there.
She stopped in front of Uranus. She commanded the youma to get off of her. The youma backed away and disappeared. Seleine picked Uranus up. Seleine held her by the throat. Seleine let Uranus stand up. Seleine held still for a moment while Uranus tried to punch her in the stomach.
Seleine didn't even acknowledge the pain Uranus was trying to inflict upon her. She must have gotten irritated with Uranus because she punched her hard. Uranus flew into a tree and landed face first on the ground.
Seleine walked toward Uranus again. Uranus was trying to get up but couldn't manage it. Seleine knelt down and grabbed Uranus's face. She kissed Uranus. For a moment I thought I saw my best friend trying to bring her soul back. Uranus had her eyes wide open and slowly closed them. Uranus was enjoying the kiss, at least until her face started to deteriorate. Seleine was using the kiss of death on Uranus.
Seleine was truly gone. Uranus's face was turning grey when Seleine let go. Uranus lay limp on the ground barely keeping her eyes open.
I couldn't watch anymore. I instead watched Serenity. She was doing the exact same thing to Sailor Star Fighter. Fighter had a hold of Serenity's arms until she also fell limp.
Jupiter, Venus, Mars, and Mercury were all on the ground watching Serenity. They watched her suck the life out of Fighter. Tears pooled down their face. They watched as Serenity was killing one of their friends and knew there was nothing they could do about it.
I turned to watch Seleine. She was walking toward Saturn. She summoned her sai's. I started screaming. I tried to get Seleine to stop. The senshi ripped their eyes from their Princess and watched Seleine. Serenity even got up and began to watch.
Seleine got close to Saturn. She knelt down and looked into her eyes. Saturn started screaming. Seleine was torturing her. Saturn's eyes rolled in the back of her head. Seleine finally stopped what she was doing and Saturn turned back to normal. Saturn began to cry.
"You killed me." Saturn whimpered.
I couldn't believe what I just heard. Seleine showed Saturn her death from the past.
"I thought I should show you your past death so you would know what to expect now," Seleine said.
"No! Seleine! Please don't! Don't kill her Seleine! Fight the darkness!" I pleaded. Tears came out uncontrollably. "Please."
Seleine stood up and grabbed her sai. She lunged her sai into Saturn's leg. Saturn screamed at the top of her lungs. That only made Seleine inflict more pain. Blood started oozing out of Saturn's leg. Seleine started with her other leg and then the rest of her limbs. To finish the torture, Seleine slit her throat. The blood overflew Saturn's throat.
Saturn fell over. It was a small cut, but did it's intended job. Seleine wanted her to suffer more.
"Enough of the games! Come here," Beryl ordered.
Seleine and Serenity obeyed her orders and walked toward her. The knelt down in front of Beryl. They bowed their heads.
"Take their life force," Beryl commanded. Serenity and Seleine turned toward the Shittenou.
"Queen Beryl! Please no!" Kunzite shouted.
Serenity and Seleine lifted up their hands. The Shittenou started screaming. Their faces began to rot. They turned gray and green. They were mush. They were dead.
"Now take theirs!" Beryl screamed. Her eyes were round and turning red. The aura around Beryl was moving. It was like watching heat come off of concrete. The tips of her hair turned into fire.
Serenity and Seleine turned toward us. They lifted up their hands. The air around me started to get thinner. It was hot and cold at the same time. I felt my body start to become one with the Earth.
Beryl started laughing. She threw her head back and laughed harder. Seleine and Serenity lifted their heads up. They called upon the Moon Princess's swords and shoved it into Beryl's heart. Beryl gasped and started screaming. Soon Beryl evaporated.
"We need to hurry! The spell won't last long Serenity!" Seleine yelled. Serenity and Seleine both lunged to the Senshi.
Seleine ran toward Saturn first. She kissed Saturn on the cheek and took all of her injuries. Serenity kissed Fighter and took away all of her injuries. I wondered where all of the wounds were going when I saw Seleine getting new injuries.
Seleine ran toward Uranus. Seleine started shaking. She kissed Uranus and took the injuries as well. Uranus woke up and pushed Seleine off of her. Seleine sat looking at Uranus for a moment then got up and healed Neptune. Neptune wasn't happy about it but allowed it.
Seleine then ran toward me and was crying.
"I'm so sorry, but it was the only way to convince her I was evil," she said.
I nodded my head telling her I figured that out. She put her hands on my stomach and took away the welts.
Serenity was walking toward the Shittenou that were now mush. She stood looking at them. She began to shake. Seleine walked toward her and grabbed her hand. They stuck their hands out and reversed the spell.
The Shittenou reformed. They were screaming like they were when they were rotting away. They looked at the two Moon Princesses. They kneeled down.
"As Beryl's successor, you are now my warriors," Seleine said. "Serenity and I killed Beryl. You are free from her reign but not from mine. I am now your leader. It is an order that you fight with the Senshi. You will work together with them. Do I make myself clear?"
"Yes my Queen," the Shittenou said.
"I am not your Queen. Serenity is," she made clear.
"Yes Seleine," the Shittenou said.
"Now get up and help the Senshi. We couldn't take back the injuries the youma gave them, so they still are very wounded," Seleine ordered.
The Shittenou got up and helped the Senshi up.
I got up and started walking towards Seleine. Seleine's back was still facing away from us. She began to sway back and forth. I ran and caught Seleine before she fell to the ground.
"Seleine!" I yelled. She took too many injuries. I panicked. She would die if she didn't get energy. "Oh God. Seleine wake up!"
All of a sudden she was being lifted up and out of my arms. Haruka was in front of me. She took a hold of Seleine and kissed her. Haruka started to get paler but didn't pull away from Seleine. The color started to flood Seleine's face again. Seleine woke up and pulled away from Haruka. They looked into each other's eyes neither one wanting to break the gaze.
Seleine then passed out again unable to keep her eyes open with her severe injuries.
