Chapter 23: One Last Attack B

The others nodded before they heard the sound coming to a halt; the only sound they could hear was the sound of the clock ticking. Haruka tensed up when she felt a chill run up her spine. She spun around before she summoned her space sword.

"Haruka?" Rei asked.

"We fell right into it's trap." She answered, "There are two of them now. We have to transform… NOW!"

Usagi gave a small nod before they all cried out and ended up transforming. They all stood next to each other as they began looking around for the grey monster that hid in the shadows of the black colored walls. They were ready for the battle to begin. Usagi held a small prayer in her heart.

"Let's finish this." Makoto hissed.

Neptune's eyes narrowed as she saw a force of energy heading straight for Uranus. The same thing caught Minako's attention; but the second energy ball was focused on Usagi.

"Usagi!" She cried.

"Haruka!" Michiru yelled at the same time Minako cried out Usagi's name.

"LOOK OUT!" They screamed in unison as they pulled the two of them to safety, catching the blow that weakened them as they screamed out in pain.

"MINAKO!" Cried Usagi as she went to her side.

"MICHIRU!" Haruka yelled after Usagi as she took a hold of Michiru's hand before she glared up at the two alien like creatures, "You're gonna regret hurting my beautiful sea!"

Haruka knew exactly where the two monsters were and glared at them. At this point, Haruka was at her limit and she needed to let out her rage, fury, anger, and fire escape… and the only thing that she knew how to do it was releasing it all on the two monsters. Usagi held onto Minako as she looked right at Haruka, seeing that anger deep within her blind grey eyes. Minako was surprised and shocked after seeing Uranus' rage radiating off of her. Setsuna helped Michiru to stay balanced, she knew that Michiru was fine; but she was holding onto her to make sure that she didn't get into Haruka's way since she was full of rage.

"Haruka…" Michiru muttered.

Haruka took a step closer and held her sword close.

"You may have blinded me, but you will never harm my Michiru OR my friends ever again!" She cursed, "Either ONE of you!"

"You touched the grandfather clock." One of the Steves said.

"You are just as important to us as Serenity is." The other finished.

"You will not hurt her!" Haruka hissed, "It's time to end this madness."

"Haruka." Michiru said as she wiggled her way out of Setsuna's arms and towards her lover.

Michiru placed a gentle and calm hand onto Haruka's shoulder. Haruka was startled by the sudden touch, but she turned down; knowing that her beloved sea was there next to her. Haruka couldn't help but to smile after feeling her lover's touch.

"We can take them. Together. The two of us." Michiru finished her thought.

Haruka placed a hand on top of hers as Michiru kissed her cheek gently. It made Haruka feel calmer and it put a brighter smile on her face. She turned to look at the two Steves before she pointed her Space Sword at them.

"We will stop you." She paused, "Together."

Michiru placed her other hand on top of Haruka's clenched hand that was holding the handle of the blade. Haruka wrapped her other arm around Michiru's waist.

"YOU WILL NOT ESCAPE!" The two monsters attacked.

"Mars Snake Fire!" Rei blocked the attack so Haruka and Michiru had more time preparing for their attack, she noticed that the two Steves turned to look at her and were ready for another attack, "Hurry!"

Michiru and Haruka nodded. Michiru placed a hand on Haruka's chest as she felt Uranus' steady, yet calm, heartbeat.

"Whenever you're ready." Whispered Haruka.

"I'm ready." Answered Michiru.

"Space Turbulence!" They cry as the sound of Michiru's violin begins playing slowly.

The blast from the Space Sword was just enough to kill the two creatures and heal something that was lost to them.

"We did it." Haruka paused as she looked down at her lover, seeing her clear and her smile appeared on her face, "Hello love."

"Haruka!" Michiru cried as she saw the light in Haruka's eyes returning, "Your vision…"

"I can see."

"Haruka." She began before she punched Haruka in the arm, "That's for scaring me!"

"That really hurt Michi." Haruka paused before she felt warm soft lips against her before Michiru pulled away, "Forgive me, Michiru. I really didn't want all of that to happen."

"I forgive you Haruka." She said.

Usagi walked up to the door and placed a hand on it.

"We are here… this is where we end this nightmare." She announced.

The others looked right at her and nodded.
