Chapter 12- Rest In Peace Dear Friends

Seiya awoke in the snowy ground where he had fell asleep in. "Was it all just a dream? No, it was real." He says to himself. "How long have I been gone?"

He looks at his cell phone. "It's been over three days and no one has come looking for me..."

Seiya realizes that he still has the locket in his hands. "I have to find a way to destroy this."

Samonie appears in front of him. "So, Seiya, I see you were thinking of betraying me. I give you what you want, and only take from you what you didn't want. And now, when you discover what I seek, you intend to destroy it!"

Sailor Uranus and Neptune appear from the darkness behind her. He stares at them. "What have you done to them? Their like the living dead. Look at their eyes Samonie, don't you see they just want the pain to end. They don't want to be enslaved forever against their will!"

"They tried to attack me and so this was their punishment. Besides, as soon as they have served there purpose I will let them die with all the others." Samonie didn't seem to care about Seiya's words.

He thinks for a moment. "Samonie I have a deal I want to make with you."

"What would that be?" She raises an eyebrow.

"Myself for them." He stated.

"Why would I want to give up two Senshi for you? After all I already have you powers. Watch, STAR SERIOUS LAZER!" She shouts and his attack comes from her. "Also I can do this."

Samonie turns herself into Sailor Star Fighter. "If I wanted to, I could be you."

"Well, I'm the only one that knows where the remainders of the Shi Orb are." Seiya smirks.

"What do you mean by remainders?" She questions.

Seiya pulls out the locket. "This is carved from the orb that you've been looking for."

"WHAT!" Her shouts can be heard throughout the entire park. "WHAT DID YOU DO TO IT? Fine it's a deal."

Uranus and Neptune turn back into their regular forms and fall to the ground. "May you both rest in piece." Seiya puts his hands together and bows.

Seiya notices an S-shaped mark on his right wrist. "What is this?"

"It's my mark. An S is put onto a part of your body that appears to look like real fire is coursing inside it. But don't worry it won't hurt you or anyone else." Samonie puts her hand on his shoulder. "Now come, let's go get the rest of my Shi Orb."

Usagi, Chibi Usa, Mamoru, the girls, Yaten, and Taiki

Usagi and the others are searching in the park for Seiya. "Seiya!" Yaten yells. "I'm sorry for getting mad at you. I didn't mean it."

"What were you mad at Seiya for in the first place?" Minako asked.

Yaten turns his head the opposite direction from everyone. "He gave up his powers to Samonie, the demon we've been after for about two or three months now."

They all stand there silently. "Why?" Taiki's eyes begin to water. "And you shouldn't have gotten so mad at him; he probably had a good reason."

"He did it for Usagi." Yaten clinched his fists.

"He told me the last time I saw him." Usagi held her hand up to her heart. "I'm sorry; I didn't want Seiya to do that for me. I... I... I... don't know I'm really confused right now." She falls to her knees and begging to start crying.

They hear a scream come from up ahead. It was Chibi Usa. Everyone ran up to see why she screamed. "What's wrong Chibi Usa?" Setsuna asked but quickly saw why.

They all stood horrified at the sight they saw. Michiru and Haruka dead corpses lying on the ground. Setsuna walked slowly over to them with tears streaming down her face. She knelt beside them and began to cry louder while wrapping her arms around the lifeless bodies.

Chibi Usa was crying into Usagi shirt. Yaten and Taiki were also upset about this. Even though all of them knew that this was probably what had happened to them they didn't want to believe it. Minako, Ami, Rei, and Makoto just stood there weeping.

Mamoru walks over to Usagi and Chibi Usa and held them in his arms.

Yaten was the first to say something after about fifteen minutes. "Seiya has probably suffered the same fate as these two."

Taiki then said, "We should at least give them a proper burial. We'll pay for it and Setsuna can help us, but in the meantime, if any of you hear from Seiya let us know."

An ambulance arrived shortly and took Michiru and Haruka away. Taiki and Yaten help take Setsuna to her house.

Rei, Minako, Ami, and Makoto walked off; now only Mamoru, Usagi, and Chibi Usa were left there.

Usagi appeared worried. "What's wrong my love, do you need to cry again."

She nodded. "No, it's okay. I'm just worried about Seiya. I know if Michiru and Haruka were still here they would want me to be strong and then Haruka would say something flirty." She giggles, but quickly becomes overwhelmed with sadness. "I'm going to miss them."

"We all are." Mamoru held her tightly. "But together we'll be okay."

Chibi Usa went home with Mamoru that night. Usagi was alone at her house since the rest of her family went out with her other relatives.

She sat on her bed. "Seiya, please be okay. I don't think I could handle you being dead right now too."

Seiya and Samonie

"Hurry up, I can hear it beckoning to me." Samonie hit him.

"Hit me one more time and you can put it back together yourself!" Seiya shouted. "You're the one that made me come out the way out to this dark planet."

"You're the one that ruined it in the first place." She slaps him with her silver fox tail.

"Try it again and I'll smash it up even more!" He continued to work.

"Fine, whatever, just hurry up." She started to pace.

Two days later at the funeral

Usagi, Mamoru, Chibi Usa, Setsuna, Rei, Minako, Ami, Makoto, Yaten, and Taiki had all showed up with many other people that knew them to pay their respects. Michiru and Haruka were then finally laid to rest in the ground side by side, just like they would have wanted it.

"Now is the time that we must find Samonie and destroy her before anyone else is harmed." Setsuna said with watery eyes.

They all nodded. "We must hurry. I sense that she has gotten much stronger since when she first arrived here." Yaten said.

"Yea, I've even noticed the increase in her power also." Minako said. "If I noticed it that means there was a definite change."

"Well what are you all waiting for, let's go!" Taiki ran out of the grave yard.

All the others followed behind. Setsuna looked at Michiru and Haruka's grave one last time before following the others.
