I don't own any sailor moon characters

They woke in a strange room in their civilian clothes with chains connecting them together. Looking over they found Osamu sitting on a couch watching them.

"Where are we?" Raye asked.

"We happen to be in the dungeon, the reason I'm here is because I was told to watch you to make sure you don't escape." Osamu told her.

They sat there in silence for a while as Osamu watched them.

"Do you remember anything about when the Empress possessed you?" Amy asked him.

"Nothing… But I found sulfuric acid on my hand after and the same taste in my mouth for some reason." he added as an after thought.

Before anyone could say anything someone yelled something to him. Standing he took an end and tugged them to their feet.

Walking them through a labyrinth they finally came to an empty room where he stopped tugging them along. Looking over to Raye he walked over soundlessly.

"Please Raven! Please swear your alliance to the Empress!" he begged her eyes full of pain that she might face later.

"I'm sorry Osamu… my alliance is with my princess." she told him.

"I'm sorry too…" grabbing the chains holding her hands together he forced her forward 'til they were kissing.

Eyes widening she wanted to slap him but felt all the love and passion he had for her, it was like fire were tugging at her insides.… no one ever kissed her like that before.

He pulled away from her as she needed air "Raven never forget I love you and there's nothing you or anybody else can do to change that." he told her and disappeared and reappeared with the Empress.

"My son has asked that I pardon you." walking over to Serena she lifted her head "What do you think Moon princess?" she asked a cruel voice.

"Let us go and leave the Earth alone?" Serena asked hopefully.

"WRONG!" the Empress hissed and struck Serena.

"Serena!" her friends caught her as she fell back.

"Osamu you will learn to never show mercy to enemies." the Empress told him. "…even ones that you are fond of."

"Get out the way Osamu!" the Empress told him angrily. Behind him laid the half dead sensei.

"No!" he told her forcefully, fires burning in his eyes defying her.

"Mutiny!" she yelled blasting him. He took it not even wincing knowing that the sensei behind him would get hit if he did.

"Osamu! Why are you doing this?" Raye asked him weakly.

"I told you already; I love you and nothing will ever change that." He told her his hair whipping around due to the force of the blast.

When the blast finally was over he stood there shaking half dead. "Mother… you forced me to choose sides and I will always side with Mars." He told her eyes blazing even though his body was weak.

"I see…"Moving suddenly she got past him and sent a blast towards Raye.

"NO!" Running he stood in front of her taking the full blow. Wavering he fell to the ground barely breathing, his eyes glazed over as his breathing slowed even more.

"OSAMU!" Raye screamed.

"Now that he's out of the way…" she sent a beam of energy hurling into Raye. "Raye!" They all screamed as they watched her turn into ash.

Raye woke surrounded by flames, but to her surprise it wasn't burning her… in fact it didn't even warm her. Looking around she found creatures and children dancing in the flame merrily. Other children were in friendly competition.

Walking on she found plants growing next to the flames and not catching fire. Kneeling down she tried to pick one but found her hand had gone straight through.

"Eh?!"

"We are spiritually in the Leo constellation." A voice told her.

Looking around wildly she found a light growing. Soon Osamu appeared five feet away. Pulling her into a hug he told her "I'm sorry I can't protect you any more… No. There is one more thing I can do for you."

Pulling away he took her hand "Accept my power, the power of the phoenix." As he said it a power flew up her arm becoming one with hers.

"Thank you Osamu…" Raye told him and began to fade…

Everyone was surprised to see a raven haired sailor rise from the ashes, she looked like Mars but was a little different. The end of her skirt was gold and her back bow was a faint gold.

"MARS?" They asked confused.

She didn't seem to hear them as she shot an attack at the Empress PHOENIX FIRE ATTACK!

A phoenix erupted from her hands and engulfed the Empress but it was soon out.

"Is that all you've got?" she demanded grinning cruelly. "You have a long way to go…" raising her hand to fire at them again she found only a spark came out. "!"

There was a faint laughter from Osamu "You fool… Phoenix Fire Attack burns the energy of its target not physically." He said weakly.

"What have you done?!" she demanded.

The chains dissolved from the rest of the group freeing them. Transforming they joined Mars against the Empress.

PHOENIX SWARM! Mars cried out as she flung her attack. One by one the sensei joined their attacks with hers.

The Empress shrieked as it hit her. SILVER MOON CRYSTAL KISS! Sailor Moon called out.

"Beautiful!" the Empress cried out as her attack finished her off.

Hearing a gasp coming from Osamu Mars ran over. "Osamu?!" she asked. As soon as her hand touched his she jumped back from surprise. It was freezing and getting colder by the second.

"Osamu!" she screamed as she held his hand.

"It's okay Raven…" he told her tiredly his eyes slowly closing "… I knew that this would happen if I betrayed mother…"

"No! No! Keep your eyes open!" Mars begged tears going down her eyes.

Weakly he lifted his other hand and wiped the tears from her face "Now there's no tears for me..." he told her his eyes nearly closed now "… especially since I'm a traitor."

"Don't talk like that?" she told him tears tearing up in her eyes.

"It's… okay…" his eyes closed completely the rest of his breath whistled past his lips as he turned ice cold, his hand slipped out of hers and hit the ground.

Mars's world turned gray and slanted as his hands left hers, the thud seemed thousands of miles away as she just stared stunned.

"Osamu…" she sobbed; tears fell onto his face.

Her friends went to her and pulled her into a group hugged her. They could imagine what she was going thru from their previous lives. Given they were killed by their previous lovers it still hurt.

She gave in to their hugs as they surrounded her, but she couldn't take her eyes off of Osamu's corpse.

"Raven…" Suddenly everyone was gone. Looking up she found Osamu standing a ways away from her watching.

"Osamu." she called to him her hand reaching out for her.

He tried to walk to her but winced as something tugged him back "I can't Raven…" he told her sadly "I'll always watch over you from this side…"

"But I need you with me!" she told him tearfully.

"I can't go back Raven…" he repeated.

"There has to be a way!"

"If there is a way I don't know it…" he told her and began to fade.

"Don't leave!" she screamed after him.
