Usagi held her arms firmly around Mamoru's neck as they slowly went around in a circle. Couples around them on the dance floor danced slowly, happy in one another's company and oblivious to the world around them. Including Ami and Greg, Rei and Chad, Minako and Josh, and Makoto and Ken.
Mamoru sighed with content as he nuzzled playfully in Usagi's soft golden locks. She rested her head on his chest and her arms came softly down to rest on his chest also. His strong warm arms were around her keeping her close to him, feeling safe, warm, and at peace.
When the slow music stopped and a more upbeat song came on all the couples changed moods instantly, however Usagi and Mamoru stayed still on the dance floor together, holding one another firmly but gently.
When Minako and Josh finally danced their way over to the couple, the two snapped out of their daze and blushed awkwardly, causing Minako to giggle.
"You guys having fun?" Minako shouted over the loud music, bopping slightly to the beat, Josh right behind her.
"Hai, we are," Usagi said smiling up at Mamoru who was looking at her lovingly.
"What?" Minako shouted. "I didn't hear you."
"I said we are!" Usagi said a bit louder.
"What?" Minako shouted once again.
"I said we are!!!" Usagi shouted even louder.
"WHAT?" Minako turned to the side so her ear was facing Usagi's face.
"I SAID YES WE ARE!" Usagi yelled just as a loud crash filled the room and bits of the ceiling fell on top of people. Everyone gasped looking up to see Malachite and around seven youmas floating down through the hole in the ceiling.
The Senshi glared, ready for transformation. Mamoru tightened his hold around Usagi protectively as he stared at the general floating above. Screaming students ran around the room like headless chickens.
Greg grabbed Ami's arm. "Come on, Ami, we have to get out of here!"
"No, Greg, I can't. You have to go with the guys and run as far away as you can!" Ami cried, pulling away from him.
"Ami-Chan's right guys, you have to get out of here," Rei said, looking at Chad with pleading eyes. He shook his head stubbornly.
"No. We can't just leave you all here! You're all coming with us!" Ken said, watching hundreds of frightened teenagers flee out of the door.
"We can't Ken, we have to stay here…" Makoto said, eyes shinning with desperation.
"Why? Why do you girls have to stay so badly?" Josh asked suddenly.
"Because… we have to make sure everyone gets out safe, now go!" Usagi ordered, her voice turning stern and authoritive.
Everyone stared at Usagi. "I mean it!" she nearly yelled at them.
"Usagi-Chan's right, if anything happened to any of you we wouldn't be able to forgive our selves…" Rei said staring at each one of them.
"We would be cowards if we just left you all here! We can't leave you, we won't leave you!" Chad cried.
"Ami, this is really bad, I can feel it coming. We have to get out of here now! You girls as well."
"We can handle it Greg, I promise. Me the girls and Mamoru have to stay. It's our duty."
"Oh Senshi, come out come out where ever you are!" They could hear Malachite chant.
Usagi glared at the general before turning back to the guys.
"Go now! Please!!!" she pleaded; they suddenly heard a scream and a yell. They looked up to see Malachite floating above the dance floor with Naru and Umino in each of his arms. Usagi and the others gasped.
"Oh Senshi, you can't hide forever…Come out now unless you want your friends to die…" Malachite grinned from high above.
Usagi turned back to the girls, closed her eyes, took a deep breath and opened them again. They all looked at each other, nodding and all put their hands in the middle.
"Alright girls, this is it. What we've been training so hard for. We can do this! We're going to win," Usagi said her voice strong. The guys, except from Mamoru and Greg frowned with confusion.
"Let's do it!" Minako smiled.
"Until the end." Ami smiled.
"We're going to defeat them once and for all." Rei smiled.
"We're going to kick some Dark Kingdom butt!" Makoto declared, also smiling.
"Senshi power," they all chimed together.
They separated and walked slowly towards the middle of the dance floor, all holding someone's hand. Mamoru stayed and watched the back of his beloved Usako walk further away from him. The guys, except Greg, all ran forward, but Mamoru held them back.
"What are they doing?" Josh cried loudly.
"They're going to get themselves killed!" Ken yelled in rage.
"Let me pass!!! REI, STAY AWAY FROM HIM!" Chad shouted.
"They're doing their job," Greg said, bowing his head. Mamoru nodded and the guys looked from him to the girls, frowning with confusion. Then they heard the general speak.
"So Senshi you have decided to come out and play?"
Naru, Umino and the guy's eyes widened with shock. Naru looked straight at Usagi, who was glaring at Malachite.
"Leave them alone, Malachite, your battle is with us. Let them go!" Usagi ordered him.
"Serenity, you have gotten strong in the past few months, but not as strong as you will need to be…" Malachite smirked as the blonde's eyes narrowed.
"I'm going to ask you again, Malachite, Let them go!" Usagi demanded.
He laughed coldly. "And what will a stupid, weak, little, crybaby do if I don't?"
Usagi turned to face the Senshi who stood close to her.
"This is it minna. Let's show them how we Senshi kick ass. Henshi!" she told them.
They all nodded and raised their hands into the air, all together.
"VENUS POWER!"
"MECURY POWER!"
"MARS POWER!"
"JUPITER POWER!"
"MOON PRISIM POWER!"
"MAKE-UP!" they cried in unison.
Everyone in the room gasped as the five teenagers burst with bright colorful lights. Ribbons encircled and embraced them as they turned into the legendary Sailor Senshi.
"For disrupting our school disco and threatening our friends…" Sailor Moon began.
"… We the powerful, beautiful, Sailor Senshi…" Venus continued.
"Will right wrongs and triumph over evil..." Mercury threatened.
"….In the name of all the planets in the Solar System…." Mars continued.
"…You're punished!!!" Jupiter finished, each of them posing.
Malachite stared at them laughing coldly.
"Youmas…grab them," he commanded. Five youmas swooped down and each flew towards a Senshi.
"Look out Usagi-Chan!" Naru screamed, fearful for her friend.
The guys all lunged forward but Mamoru held them back. "They know what they're doing…you have to let them do their job!" He looked back watching his Usako dodge a fireball and send her tiara flying.
Each Senshi turned and fired their attacks at the youmas, kicking and punching them whenever possible. When Sailor Moon's youma was finally down, she reached for her Moon Wand with the crystal on it and raised it above her head.
"MOON BEAM DESTRUCTION," she screamed, as several hot white beams erupted from the small stick and hit the youmas each turning into dust instantly.
Malachite's eyes widened, as did everyone else's, including the Senshi and Mamoru.
Sailor Moon turned around and glared at the general. "Let them go!" She scowled.
Malachite smirked and threw Naru and Umino into a wall. Naru screamed and Umino yelled out in pain as their bodies came in contact with the hard concrete.
"Naru!!! Umino!!!" Sailor Moon cried, running towards them and dropping down beside them, checking their pulses.
They were just unconscious. Moon looked up at Malachite, tears of hurt in her eyes.
Mamoru watched silently as the small blonde's eyes suddenly lit up. As she got up, and walked calmly over to the hovering general, he frowned.
"Odango, what on earth are you doing!" Mars yelled.
Sailor Moon ignored her and stared up at Malachite.
"Where's Zoicite?" she asked, knowing that he was most likely dead.
Malachite's eyes softened in remembrance, and he looked away from the blonde Senshi.
"Oh I see…Beryl killed him?" she asked innocently. She watched as Malachite closed his eyes tightly. "I don't understand…your taking orders and protecting a woman so horrible and so twisted that she killed the man you love?"
"Shut up" Malachite warned.
"I know that if someone killed one of the people I love, I would never take orders from them."
"Shut up!" he yelled at her.
"Especially an evil twisted person like Beryl is, who orders people around and treats them like slaves, like dirt…"
"SHUT UP!" he screamed with pain.
Sailor Moon looked up at him as she fell silent. Mamoru smiled slightly, knowing she was getting through to him.
Malachite opened his eyes and looked at Sailor Moon, his eyes brimming with tears. She was taken back for a second but she smiled kindly up at him.
"It's not as easy as that. She would kill me if I betrayed her…I am bound to her for as long as she likes…" he confessed.
"That's not true. You were once a kind hearted general protecting my prince."
Malachite frowned. "No. I have always been with Beryl…as long as I can remember…"
Mamoru walked to Sailor Moon and stood beside her.
"But were you with Beryl before? When you can't remember?" he asked the general.
Malachite looked him up and down "I assume so…"
"But that's where you are wrong. Beryl kidnapped you from us, brainwashed you. That is why you cannot remember," Sailor Moon admitted softly.
"That can't be true!" he cried.
"Why would we lie, Malachite?" Mamoru asked him.
"I can heal you, if you let me…erase all the evil in you," Sailor Moon said. The general floated to the ground and looked at Sailor Moon unsure.
"Trust me," she said smiling, holding out her small hands, palms up. "Take my hands and you will never have to suffer again. You can have a real life, real friends and be loved."
Malachite looked at her hands, then at her face, and then back to her hands again. Slowly and shakily he put his large cold hands over her small warm ones.
Instantly a golden light emerged from the two and they both started to float above everyone's heads. Naru and Umino opened their eyes, groggily, and sat up, gasping and staring as Sailor Moon's fuku turned into a shimmering white gown.
Malachite was bathed in a golden light and he felt warmth and peace fill his heart and soul. Suddenly an ugly bitter woman with bright orange hair appeared in the room and shouted with rage at the two glowing in the air.
"GET YOUR HANDS OF MY GENERAL!" she yelled, spitting with anger.
The two stopped glowing and lowered slowly to the ground. Malachite collapsed into unconsciousness and Serenity fell back into Mamoru's awaiting arms.
"Beryl," she growled, getting the strength to stand up.
"Serenity, you have meddled with my plans for the last time," Beryl said glaring.
The Senshi ran and stood protectively infront of Mamoru and Serenity.
"Stay away from our princess and prince, Beryl," Mars warned.
Beryl smirked. "And what will you do if I don't, Sailor Mars?" the evil queen asked.
"FIRE SOUL!" Mars yelled and threw burning flames at Beryl.
Beryl deflected them with a flick of her hand and they came hurtling back towards the Senshi of fire. Mercury charged up her attack.
"SHAPRON SPRAY!"
The bubbles froze the fire and the frozen flames hit the ground with a clatter.
The queen laughed coldly. "Is that the best you can do? Pitiful little flames and flimsy fragile bubbles?"
"They can do a lot better than that Beryl and you know it," Mamoru spat.
Beryl turned her attention to the handsome man who was standing protectively infront of Serenity.
"Ahh, Endymion. Still with that twit I see," Beryl chuckled.
Mamoru's eyes narrowed and he produced a red rose, transforming into Tuxedo Mask. He summoned a dozen roses and threw them all at the vicious cold queen. She dodged them easily.
"Awww, Endymion. I'm flattered for the roses, but Venus-fly-traps are more my kind of flower," she smiled sickly as the words came out.
Serenity glared at her.
"SPARKLING WIDE PRESSURE!" Jupiter shot lightening at the hideous woman but she deflected it effortlessly.
"My turn," Beryl hissed, sending an energy ball hurtling towards the Senshi.
"NO!" Serenity screamed. Naru's eyes widened as she watched the ball come deadly close.
The guys all tried to run forward to save them but it was too late. Suddenly a bight light filled the room and everyone closed their eyes. When the light finally died down they all opened their eyes to see a golden dome around the Senshi and Mamoru now wore dark shining armor. Serenity had her eyes closed and had a golden peaceful aura circling her., Everyone gasped.
When her eyes snapped open the dome disappeared and she glared at the queen.
"Serenity, you are strong, that is a fact, but are you as strong as Metalia?" Beryl asked.
Endymion stood infront of Serenity again, ready to defend her and protect her if need be. A warm hand held his shoulder and he turned to see Serenity staring at him, smiling warmly.
He smiled back. He watched as her eyes turned from warm and loving to hard and determined. She turned her sight towards the queen, glaring at her.
"Yes I am," she said simply, calmly but firmly.
Beryl smirked. "Well we shall see wont we?"
"Yes we shall," Serenity replied, walking around her love and the Senshi. She summoned her moon wand and began to walk towards the queen.
The Senshi and Endymion gasped. They all tried to grab her, to stop her, but failed. They were shot back a little by a strange energy surrounding the princess like a shield.
"USAGI-CHAN NO!!!" Venus screamed, tears welling up in her eyes.
Naru, Umino and the others all looked confused and frowned at the Senshi's reaction to the sudden boldness of Serenity.
"DON'T DO IT. USAGI PLEASE!!!" Jupiter yelled.
"Don't do what?" Naru asked confused.
"USAKO NO!!!" the desperate prince cried, running after her. The queen simply smirked.
Endymion felt energy trying to push him back but he pushed through it and grabbed her arm. She gasped, turning around and looking him in the eyes. His eyes were watering with silent tears.
"Mamo-Chan, I have to do this. To save the earth…"
"DO WHAT!!!" Naru shouted and everyone turned to her. "Usagi-Chan you're scaring me! What aren't you supposed to do?" she begged for answers. Usagi smiled calmly and walked over to her friend. She bent down and put a hand on her shoulder.
"You now know my big secret Naru-Chan." She smiled warmly. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you before, but if I had told you, there would have been a risk of you being in danger. As you can see I'm Sailor Moon, and I'm the Moon Princess from the past."
Naru blinked up at her friend.
"My job is to protect this world from evil and to destroy anything that tries to harm the people of this world. And that is exactly what I'm going to do. I'm going to save this planet." She smiled and stood up walking back towards Beryl.
"USAGI-CHAN. YOU WILL DIE IF YOU USE THE SILVER CRYSTAL'S FULL ENERGY!" Mercury cried.
The guys, Naru and Umino gasped and stared at the blonde that stood meters away from them.
"DON'T DO IT, USAGI. DON'T DO IT!" Mars yelled.
Usagi turned to all of them and smiled. "Everything will be ok, I promise." She turned back to Beryl. "Ready to fail?" she spat, staring at her with distaste.
Beryl laughed. "We'll see twit." She raised her arms and called to the sky, "GODDESS METALIA I BEG YOU, LEND ME YOUR POWER SO TOGETHER WE SHALL RULE THIS UNIVERSE AS ONE. LET ME AWAKEN YOU AND USE YOUR STRENGTH TO GET YOUR REVENGE FROM 1000 YEARS AGO."
There was a loud crackle of thunder and the queen began to grow. What was left of the school broke and fell to the ground, leaving them all surrounded by a huge field full of grass. Wind whipped around them and Beryl smiled down at the tiny princess.
Serenity raised her wand above her head, ignoring the pleas and the cries from the people around her.
"COSMIC MOON POWER!" she yelled into the wind calmly.
