Chapter 15- Can You Remember Me?
"What?" Fighter began to look more like her normal self. "What did you want to tell me?"
"I... I..." She looked over at Mamoru and Chibi Usa, held her heart and quickly said. "I love you!"
Usagi was saying this because she felt that maybe her words would change her back. 'Please remember all the fun times we had together, Seiya.' Usagi thought, 'Maybe if I tell him that I love him and not Mamoru he'll return to normal.'
Samonie appears in front of Usagi and looks back towards Fighter. "It's all lies, don't believe it. She doesn't care about you, she betrayed you remember." She thinks to herself for a moment. 'Oh wait, I erased his memory of her, so of course he doesn't remember.' She then says, "Sailor Star Fighter, she doesn't even know you, so how could she possibly love you?"
"You're right." Fighter glares at Usagi furiously. "No one loves me. No one cares about me. Samonie is the only person who has ever accepted me for who I am."
"Seiya! I really do," She says with tears of heartbreak falling down her face. "Why would I be here if I didn't? Your my one and only. I never really cared about Mamoru. He was just a phase or something, but he meant absolutely nothing to me. No, he was less than nothing."
Saying this caused Usagi to fall apart on the inside, but she thought this was the only way to stop the chaos.
"I don't know who you are and you don't know me, so don't say such foolish things. Now die!" Fighter shouted while preparing to use an attack.
She appeared to be aiming at Usagi, but quickly changed direction towards Chibi Moon and Mamoru. "Star Serious Lazar!"
The light beam, which was now tainted with evil, flew quickly at them. Mamoru took all the impact. "Chibi Moon, run." He whispered before collapsing to the ground.
Tears streamed out of her eyes. She obeyed Mamoru though and began to run. "Not so fast." Fighter appeared in front of Chibi Moon. Fighter lifted her up by her broach and raised her fist to hit Chibi Moon, but her fist was stop by the teeth of a white fur ball.
"Huh?" Fighter released Chibi Moon and pulled the snow colored cat off his hand. "Stupid animal."
She slung Artimas to the side of her. Yaten caught the soaring feline. "Seiya, if this is the kind of Starlight that you've become, then you never deserved to be one of us in the first place."
"I was never like you. I've always been like this. I'm not a Starlight or Senshi, just Fighter, the wondering warrior." She looked at him to notice Taiki was also there. "I gave you a chance to live, but coming back only proves that you want to die."
"Seiya don't you remember the Amusement Park!" Usagi was trying to help him remember who he really was, which was a man named Seiya. "Sure you're a Starlight too, but you'll forever be known to me as Seiya. You're a very special guy to me, who is sweet, kind, and caring. A bit of a showoff, but we all love you for it. Please return our powers and help us fight this enemy."
Fighter was becoming confused with what was going on. A memory of when they were at the amusement park flashed through his mind.
In Seiya's memory, (Usagi walks out, Seiya looks up. She looked absolutely stunning. "Usagi… Did you get all dressed up just for me?"
"No I did it for the stray cats." She said sarcastically.
"You haven't changed a bit, Odango." Seiya smiled.
"Don't call me that. Only Mamoru can." Usagi crossed her arms and pushed her bottom lip over the top.
Seiya giggled. "That was an adorable face."
"Are we going to the Amusement Park or not."
"So now were in a rush huh? You're the one who kept on talking." Seiya began to walk.)
Fighter started to remember all the other things that happened. "Usagi, Yaten, Taiki, everyone, please forgive me."
She took the fiery sword which she held and stabbed through the mark on her wrist. This caused the energy inside to release and return to the Senshi.
"Moon Eternal... Make Up!" She waves her hand over her broach as she says these words.
Angelic wings appear on her back, she is now in an outfit of red, blue, yellow, and pink.
"Healer Star Power... Make Up!" Yaten begins to transform but cannot complete it. Samonie had attack Yaten causing him to remain normal. "Sorry Sailor Moon, looks like it's up to you and Seiya. I'm much too weak and Taiki has an injured leg, so were no good to you."
"How dare you betray me Seiya. I gave you everything, and I even let your two friends die in piece for your soul. I didn't have to do that you know. Who needs you anyways; I can do this on my own."
Fighter turns back into Seiya. "Usagi, I mean Sailor Moon, I will help you as much as possible."
"Try changing back into Sailor Star Fighter. Maybe this time you won't be overwhelmed with the powers of darkness." Sailor Moon walks over to him and kisses him gently on the lips. Holding her hands on his face, he embraces her tightly.
The world seems to be standing still, "Why isn't anything moving? Why am I the only one that is still able to move?"
He backed out of Usagi hands and glanced around, he looked at Yaten and then noticed the girl Yaten loves. Luna, was holding Artimas in her hands. Then he began to put all the pieces together. "Luna was Usagi's little black cat. Samonie must have changed her so she couldn't help us out. Apparently Luna knew too much. I wonder what caused her to agree to make a deal with Samonie."
Someone touched his shoulder. He spun around, "Samonie?"
It was Samonie's true form, before she'd been contaminated by the darkness. "The demon that controls me caused Luna to think that her true love, Artimas, was leaving her for another woman, a cat in her case. By changing her into a human, it caused her to forget who she really was, but made Yaten see that love was possible. The demon didn't know that Yaten would fall for Luna, but this helped him to become on your side about Usagi. The only downside to this is that when Yaten finds out the truth about Luna it will break his heart. But in the end he'll accept it."
She points to Chibi Moon. "Have you figured it out yet?"
"Figured what out?" Seiya raised his right eyebrow.
"Think back to the past. All the hints that were given along the way of who Chibi Usa is." Samonie looks at the clueless look on his face. "Just think about the past, and you'll realize who she is. Go back to Usagi and regain the position you were last in before I froze time, then everything a start back again."
He did as she told him to and everything went back to the way it was. Seiya enjoyed Sailor Moon's soft lips pressing against his, but he knew something wasn't right. 'I love her, but I have a strange feeling inside of me. Maybe it's because I know somewhere deep inside of me that she could never love me the way she loves Mamoru.'
He backed away from Usagi. "I love you more than words can describe, but you belong with Mamoru." He looks at Chibi Moon for a moment and then back at Sailor Moon. "She's your daughter, isn't she?"
"Yes, she is. In the future Mamoru and I have a child." Sailor Moon gazes at him appreciatively. "I love you too, just not in the way you want me to. I love Mamoru in that way, and not only that, but I couldn't bare life without Chibi Usa. Their my entire world and your part of my world too, along with all the others."
"I understand." Seiya says. "Thanks for the kiss, but I know it didn't mean anything..."
Seiya was interrupted by Samonie. "Okay, you've all had your lovey dovey time, so now you can face the power of the Shi Orb."
She holds up the long black staff she held in her hands and was getting ready to slam it into the ground.
"Fighter Star Power! Make Up!" Seiya yells out causing Samonie to pause for a minute.
Sailor Star Fighter seemed to be good as new. "Thank you for the moment of bliss, Sailor Moon."
"What are you going to do Fighter?" Sailor Moon became worried. "What are you thinking?"
"Just run and keep Chibi Moon and yourself safe. I can handle her."
"No!" Usagi stated. "I won't leave you to fight alone."
A blast shot Fighter in her back. Her eyes grew wide and bloodshot. Turning around she saw Samonie laughing at her suffering. "Do you have no heart!"
"Of course not. If I did what kind of demon would I be." She rubbed the orb that rested upon her staff.
"Everyone has feelings." Sailor Moon interrupted. "Maybe for different things and reasons, but you have cared for at least one person in your life."
"No, I have not." Samonie eyes watered up for a second, but quickly changed.
Fighter looked into her eyes. "Who was she?"
Sailor Moon just stood there puzzled while Samonie looked at him strangely. "How did you know it was a she?"
"I can see her in your eyes." Fighter walks over towards her. "I see a small child with long, red hair. She has pretty green eyes that shimmer like the ocean."
"Don't try to talk to me as if you understand my pain." Samonie sliced open Fighters stomach, blood spewing everywhere.
"Seiya!" Sailor Moon screamed.
She held her hand up for her to stay back. "Was she a friend, a family member?"
"My little sister." Samonie cried for the first time in centuries. "I haven't cried like this since those pathetic humans killed her."
"Sailor Moon was right, you do have feelings. I'm guessing that this caused you to hate all humans and Earth creatures alike."
"Yes, anything that associates with humans is an enemy of mine." Samonie fired a black sphere shaped light towards Chibi Moon.
Her wails could be heard all around. "CHIBI USA!" Sailor Moon ran over and held her in her arms crying. "Please be okay, don't die on me. Chibi Usa!"
Mamoru look up while still lying on the ground. "Sailor Moon, I'm sorry I can't hold on much longer." He reached his hand out but it feel to the ground as he passed away.
"Mamoru!" Sailor Moon's face became covered in tears. She looked down at Chibi Usa, watching her vanish. "No, don't leave me, Chibi Usa! Mamoru!"
Sailor Moon couldn't move at all, the only thing she could do was cry. Missing the feel of Chibi Usa in her arms.
"How could you do that to a small child? You're doing the same thing here that those humans did to your sister." Fighter screamed. "Do you think this is going to bring your sister back? No, it won't. Doing this will only make things worse."
"You don't know what they did to her!" Samonie gripped her staff tightly.
"Well tell me then, so maybe I can understand you."
"She was innocently playing with a small rabbit when a bunch of kids came by. My sister and I started to play with them." She looked up towards the skies. "I walked away for awhile and when I came back she was gone. I saw blood on the ground. I searched for a while and that's when I found her dead body dangling from the side of a cliff."
"That's horrible," Fighter placed his hand on her shoulder. "But nothing can change the past. The girl that rests inside you knows that, now you must learn that lesson."
I would just like to think everyone who has reviewed my story so far and hope all enjoyed this chapter.
