Molly's Cry Nephrite's Love

The next morning, after Molly defended Nephrite by betraying her mother. She and Serena were at the park, it was really depressing, Molly was hanging her head in her knees and sitting on the slide, Serena just stood next to her and stared at her with pity.

"Say, Molly." Serena said softly. "I think it would be better if you forget about him."

"I can't." She sobbed.

"Huh?" Serena said surprised, after all, for the past few days she wouldn't speak.

"No matter how bad he is, I still love him." She sniffed, still not picking up her head.

"Oh, boy." Serena sighed.

"Serena." Molly said with her sadness clearing up slightly. "You have someone you love don't you?"

"Me?" She said blushing. "Well, yeah."

"Then you should understand how I feel." Molly said "Finally picking her head up, but not looking Serena in the eye."

Meanwhile at Nephrite's church

"Molly." said Nephrite sitting in a chair staring at his black crystal. "Why did the black crystal respond to that girl? Was that the energy of love?" He remembered Molly and how she vowed to protect him, because she loves him. "It's ridiculous! Sailor Moon knew that girl's name. That girl must know Sailor Moon's true Identity." He held out the black crystal and smirked.

He also took out the chaos emerald.

"So." He said. "This emerald is useless to me as long as those brats have an emerald too. The emerald's true power is when all seven are gathered."

Little did he know Zoisite was spying on him.

"So there it is!" He thought, referring to the black crystal. "So, the black crystal that's supposed to reveal the location of the Silver Crystal."

Later that night Molly was asleep in her bed, Nephrite showed up and he noticed the black crystal was glowing.

"The crystal is reacting again." He said. "This girl could the Silver Crystal be something inside a human body?" He used the crystal and it worked like some form of X-Ray, it showed Molly's body and there was nothing special about it.

"No." He said. "The crystal is not inside this girl." He walked behind the curtains, Molly woke up with a start and saw Nephrite silhouetted in her curtains.

"Mr. Stanton?" She asked with anticipation. Nephrite finally confessed the truth.

"Maxfield Stanton is only a disguise. My real name is Nephrite. I don't want to lie to you anymore." Molly started to move towards the curtains. "Please stay there and just listen."

"Ok." She sighed.

"You are a wonderful girl." Nephrite said softly. "Thanks to you I have learned what love is for the first time. The evil organization I have been a part of, there is no love. We betray each other and kill each other for our own gain. I thought that was normal but your love opened my eyes." He smirked. "Now I am thinking I would like to join Sailor Moon, to fight the evil organization. If you know anything about Sailor Moon, please tell me."

"I'm sorry." She sighed. "But I don't know anything."

"Can you not trust me?" Nephrite asked.

"No!" She objected. "I trust you! But I really, really know nothing!"

"I see." Nephrite sighed. "I'm sorry to hear that." The silhouette began to fade.

"NO PLEASE!" Molly cried darting to the window, she opened the curtains and there was no one there.

At a building's rooftop across the way Zoisite saw everything.

"Oh my!" He laughed. "What a foolish man. Has he fallen in love with a human girl?"

"Zoisite!" Called a female voice behind him. There were three monsters, all female, one with green skin, yellow skin, and rose skin, they had plant like clothing, leaves, and flower blooms, all in the shapes of leotards.

"You three." Zoisite said. "I believe you've heard everything you need to know."

"Stupid man." The green one said. "Let's attack him now!"

"Be patient." Zoisite said. "Nephrite is a superb warrior, not only that he has a chaos emerald, which grants him even more power. We don't want to get hurt by making any ill planned moves. We'll take that girl as a hostage and lure him out. We'll have the chaos emerald and the black crystal as a ransom, after he gives it to us, then we strike!"

"Yes sir." Said the rose one.

Back at Molly's she was sitting on her bed thinking.

"How can I find out where Sailor Moon is?" Molly thought.

Meanwhile in the streets Sonic and Tails were zooming through the streets of Tokyo, as usual, many people couldn't see them directly because they were going too fast.

"So." Tails said, keeping up with Sonic. "Tell me why are we running through here again?"

"Because we have been helping the sailors out for some time now, in fact I think it's time we familiarize ourselves with this place." Sonic said.

"Ok." Tails said they then stopped on a rooftop and looked down.

"Nice place." Sonic said enjoying the view of Japan.

At Serena's house

"Serena!" Mother called. "Molly's on the phone for you!" Serena walked to the phone almost like a zombie for being so tired.

"Serena." Molly said. "I'm sorry for calling you so late." Serena turned her head and tried to act discreet.

"What's wrong?" She whispered

"I thought you're the only one I could talk to." She sniffed getting ready to cry again.

"Did something happen?" Whispered Serena

"Mr. Stanton is looking for Sailor Moon. He's in trouble, but I can't do anything for him." Molly sniffed again.

"What's wrong with Mr. Stanton?" Serena asked, Molly sniffed once more. "Are you crying?"

"I'm sorry for making such a weird call to you in the middle of the night." Molly sobbed. "I'm ok."

"But." Serena said, trying to reach her friend.

"Really, I'm ok." Molly said. "I feel calmer now after talking to you, thank you."

Nephrite was just outside her window eavesdropping.

"Serena?" He said to himself. He has an idea that could give him a clue to find Sailor Moon.

Serena ran out the door with Luna.

"I'll bet Nephrite is closing in on Molly!" Serena panicked.

"Move faster!" Luna said getting ahead of her.

"I'm not a cat!" Serena argued, she was lagging so far behind that they got separated.

Just then the scenery started to get all warped and twisted as if she's in another dimension.

"What's going on!?" She panicked. "I know a monster! Where are you!?"

Meanwhile at the rooftop.

"Hey what's that?" Tails asked, pointing at the light in an alleyway.

"I don't know." Sonic said. "Let's go look!" And they both sped off towards the light.

Back at the ally there was still no sign of the monster.

"Fine then!" Serena said with courage as she began to transform.

"Moon Prism Power Make Up!"

"HAHAHAHAHA!" Laughed the evil voice of Nephrite. "You finally revealed yourself, Sailor Moon!" And the scenery returned to normal. And Nephrite showed himself.

"Nephrite!" She cried.

"The true Identity of Sailor Moon is Serena Tsukino. I saw it clearly." Nephrite said.

"Please! Tell no one that I'm Sailor Moon! Okay! Pretty Please?" She panicked.

"There is no need for you to hide it anymore." Nephrite said.

"Not exactly." Sailor Moon laughed. "So, Please?"

"Oh don't worry." Nephrite said. "You are going to die here!' He took out the chaos emerald.

"Grant me power ultim…OUCH!" A streak of blue light whizzed past his hand and he felt pain like something hit it, he screamed seeing the emerald missing.

"Not if we can stop you!" Tails said standing Next to Sonic holding the chaos emerald.

"Sonic! Tails!" Sailor Moon cheered.

"GRRRR" Nephrite growled, his rage building. "SONIC! You've meddled in my affairs for the last time!'

"Bring it bud!" Sonic challenged. Nephrite charged up and shot a magic beam at them Sonic and Tails jumped out of the way and Sailor Moon was crawling away. Nephrite threw more blasts at her but they just kept sending her flying. Because of the constant attacks, Sonic and Tails couldn't get close.

"Prepare yourself!" Nephrite said, he readied another attack but a red rose shot out at him and stopped the attack. They looked up and saw Tuxedo Mask standing up on a street light.

"Defeat is not befitting of the beautiful Sailor Moon." He said. "Me, and Sonic shall be your opponent!"

"Thanks for the invitation." Sonic said, he gave orders to Tails. "Tails protect Sailor Moon!"

"Gotcha!" Tails said rushing to her side.

"Tuxedo Mask!" Sailor Moon cheered, Tails made it to her side and placed his hand on her shoulder. Nephrite raised his hand to attack, but something stopped him.

"Help!" Cried Molly's voice in his head, "Mr. Nephrite!" "Molly!" He cried in his head.

"What's wrong, Nephrite?" Tuxedo Mask asked.

"We shall conclude this fight another time!" Nephrite said lowering his stance. "Sailor Moon, I know who you are now! I will be able to attack you at any time now! Be ready!" He teleported away.

"What'll I do? He knows who I am!" Sailor Moon panicked.

"Do not give up just because he knows who you are now." Tuxedo Mask said. "Goodbye!" He leaped away disappearing.

Meanwhile at Molly's the yellow monster from before was abducting Molly.

"No!" Luna screamed watching. "I need to call the Sailor Warriors!"

Nephrite appeared in her bedroom and saw a ransom not on her bed.

It said "Hand over the Chaos emerald, and the black crystal in exchange for the girl."

"Zoisite!" Nephrite growled. "That idiot! Who cares what happens to that girl! Besides thanks to that blue vermin! I no longer have the emerald!" He clenched his fist and the note burned in his hand, as he thought about Molly's smiling face.

Molly was being held inside an abandoned shop, the three monsters were guarding her, Molly was on her feet, with her arms tied to the walls.

"Hurry Nephrite." The yellow monster snickered. "Will he really come for this human?"

"Well." The rose monster said. "If he doesn't show up, we'll just kill the girl."

"Poor thing." The green monster laughed. "She's scared." They heard the front door open and Nephrite walked down the staircase and arrived at the scene.

"Mr. Nephrite!" Molly cried.

"Die!" The rose monster yelled, who threw spores like bombs at him. Nephrite whacked them away with his hands and they exploded against the walls.

The green one attacked using sound waves, they had no effect. The rose one threw more bombs, at him and the explosion created a red fog.

"Did we get him!?" The rose one yelled. Nephrite leapt out and kicked the rose and green ones in the stomach, the Yellow one shot out a tree root like a missile at Nephrite, he ducked and it missed, then he used his magic to create a sword he dashed forward and held it up to her throat.

"I will never hand over the black crystal to you guys!" He said "You're too late, Sonic and Tails took the Chaos emerald from me, but I can still snap all three of you like a twig! Tell that to Zoisite!" He released the monster, Molly and Nephrite stared at each other, Nephrite freed her and carried her out.

"Mr. Nephrite." Molly said softly. "Thank you."

"You do not need to thank me." Nephrite said. "I don't really understand why I rescued you, and I have kept deceiving you for a long time. I may continue to lie to you, even after this."

"That's ok." She said blushing. "If you'll just stay close to me." she began to snuggle with his chest. "I don't mind being lied to." She noticed that he has a cut on his arm. "Oh, no! You're injured!"

"It's ok." He said Molly got free of his arms.

"No, It's not! You were hurt because of me!" She looked around. "It would be bad if those scary people come back, so come this way." He pulled him into the cover of some nearby trees. "Please take your jacket off." He did that, he wore a purple undershirt, and Molly bit off large pieces of her pajamas and wrapped his wound. "Hey, there's a place that serves really good chocolate parfaits."

"Chocolate parfaits?" Nephrite said confused, he actually never heard of such a thing.

"Yes." Molly said. "You don't like them?"

"Oh no." Nephrite stuttered. "I like them."

"You're lying." Molly said. "See? Sometimes we lie with kind intentions to."

"Thanks." Nephrite said moving his arm around.

"I always thought it would be nice to go there one day." Molly said as they both sat under the tree. "I would love to have a chocolate parfait with you. It's a little dream of mine."

"Hmmm." Nephrite said cracking a small smile. "It sounds good. Let's do it someday."

"Really?" Molly piped happily.

"Do you think I'm lying?" Nephrite asked.

"Not at all." Molly said, shaking her head. "I'm so happy!" They stared into each other's eyes again. But something broke the moment. "Oh, come to think of it. Does the evil organization give you Sundays off, to?"

Nephrite jumped hearing such a remark, but he smiled and began to laugh, then they were both laughing.

But all of a sudden the Rose monster returned and shot out her fingers in the shape of tree roots, Nephrite noticed the attack and pushed Molly out of the way, the roots stabbed Nephrite in the left breast.

The monster separated herself from the roots and left them in his chest, it wasn't good they had gone straight through his body.

"You let your guard down." The monster said as the other two showed up and stood next to the rose monster. "Those roots will keep sucking your life essence until you die! What a sad way to die. If you do not want us to kill the girl hand over the Black Crystal!"

"Very well." Nephrite uttered in a weak tone. He turned to Molly. "Hurry Run!"

"No." Molly objected.

"RUN!" Nephrite said mustering what strength he has left.

"NO! NO!" Molly screamed running in front of Nephrite.

"You idiot! Run!" Nephrite said, pushing her away.

"No!" She objected again. She rushed to his front and tried to pull the roots out of Nephrite's body, but the magic within them zapped her with magic electricity.

"Ha!" The rose monster laughed. "Do you think you can pull them out with the strength of a human?"

"Stop!" Nephrite grunted. "Run!" But Molly wasn't listening. "That's enough it's ok." Molly continued to try, but a miracle occurred the two roots she was holding began to move.

"Impossible!" The Rose Monster shouted.

"Please Don't die!" Molly cried in pain trying to save the man she loves.

"Damn it!" The Yellow Monster shouted. "I'll take care of them both right now! DIE!" She threw red bombs at them, Nephrite took Molly and covered her. During the explosion the black crystal left Nephrite's possession.

When the blast cleared Molly was ok but Nephrite took the explosion and was now gravely injured, Nephrite fell over.

"NEPHRITE!" Molly screamed. In the flurry of rose petals Zoisite appeared.

"Good work, all of you!" He said, taking the crystal. "The black crystal is mine now. You should be happy," he said to Nephrite, "to be able to die with the girl you love." He directed his attention to his monsters "Make sure to have plenty of fun with them." And he disappeared in his rose petals.

"Coward." Nephrite said, even weaker than before.

"Ready?" The three monsters laughed.

"Run! For me!" Nephrite pleaded.

"No!" Molly objected.

"Hold it right there!" Sailor Moon called out to the monsters turned their heads and saw all three Sailors. "You're really mean, trying to interfere with two people in love!" She did her pose. "In the name of the moon I will punish you!"

Sailor Mercury tried it as well. "Stand under a cold waterfall and reflect on your conduct!"

Then Sailor Mars tried it. "In the name of Mars, I will chastise you!"

"We will take care of you guys first!" All three monsters shouted. "Die!"

"Do you really think it will be that easy?" Said the voice of Sonic and Tails standing in the branches of a different tree.

"We're surrounded." The monsters panicked. "Fine we'll beat all five of you!" First they tried their attacks on the Sailors they all managed to dodge the attacks, then after Sonic and Tails.

"Pfft." Sonic scoffed. "Come on buddy!" Sonic and Tails both tried their super spin dashes and broke through the attacks and struck all three of them in the head and they went down.

"They're all yours." Sonic said, and Sailor Moon tried her tiara.

" Moon Tiara Action!"

"Fire Soul!"

Mar's fire combined with the tiara and turned into a fiery disk of light. With Sonic's assistance the tiara obliterated the monsters.

"Oh my!" Tails gasped, pointing at Molly who was now holding Nephrite as he laid on the ground.

Molly looked at Sonic and Tails and got defensive.

"More monsters!" She panicked. "LEAVE! I'M WARNING YOU! Sailor Moon please make those monsters go away!"

"Molly you can trust them." Nephrite said.

"Yeah." Sonic said with his head throbbing "Is that how you say thanks to someone who just saved your skin?"

"Sorry I guess." Molly shrugged, she refocused her attention to a nearly dead Nephrite.

"Sailor Moon." Nephrite said. "I guess your identity will remain a secret. And Sonic no offence but if I kept the chaos emerald none of this would have happened."

"Let's not play the blame game." Sonic said frowning, yet slightly laughing, he really felt sorry for the guy. Nephrite began to twitch as his death was slowly creeping on his soul.

"No!" Sailor Moon pleaded. "Please don't die."

"Yeah." Tails squeaked, starting to tear up. "You're starting to turn your life around."

Nephrite took Molly's hand.

"I don't think we'll get to eat a chocolate parfait together." Nephrite said weakly. "I'm sorry."

"Please don't do this!" Pleaded Molly with tears in her eyes. Nephrite touched her cheek

"I have ended up lying to you to the very end." Nephrite groaned as the last bit of life slowly left him. "Please forgive me." Molly began to cry. "I'm glad I met you." Nephrite closed his eyes, and his body began to sparkle, and he began to fade into nothing.

"PLEASE!" Molly screamed. "YOU PROMISED! WE WOULD EAT CHOCOLATE PARFAIT TOGETHER!" After a few seconds, his body was no more. All that was left was the section of pajamas Molly ripped off to cover his wound. "NOOOOOOOO!"

The Sailors were also crying, Tails was crying also, Sonic was just frowning, he took out the chaos emerald and tightened his grip on it.

"I promise!" He thought, as if he was speaking to Nephrite with his thoughts. "I'll take good care of this!"

"This is….." Molly sobbed. "THIS ISN'T FAIR! NEPHRITE!" Sonic, Tails, and the Sailors could only watch in pity and despair, as Molly cried for the loss of her love under the night sky and Nephrite's sparkles all went up to the stars.
