Chapter 12: Darkness Over Shinonome. Celestial Chalice Revealed?:
A few days after the second confrontation with the Tamers, Takato is sitting on the roof of her house as she looks up at the moon. She's had many nasty dreams and a nagging feeling that the big battle is just around the corner. Mikey walks through a shadow portal and sits down next to his cousin/sister. "Takato, what's wrong? You've been avoiding everyone the last few days." Takato sighed.
Only her goggle head cousin/brother know she was in distress. Only another goggle head could read a goggle head's emotional signals so well. "I've been having violent nightmares recently. They all show a massive shadow being and all of the Hunters are either dead or dying. I have a nagging feeling that our big bad is coming very soon." Mikey nods. "My dreams are the same way. I also see a silver and gold chalice similar to the Purity Chalice. I remember a bright light around you and white feathered wings coming out your back before waking up." Takato is wide eyed in shock. He saw a vision of the celestial chalice?
The next morning Takato called a meeting and insisted everyone had to be there at the command center. Once everyone is settled Takato regales the information Mikey gave her the night before. Ren asks, "What's the Celestial Chalice? I've never heard of it before."
Takato takes a deep breath before explaining the full story. "It's existance is known only between Lunar High Princess to Lunar High Princess. Or the rare case Lunar High Prince. Although Mikey was first born I'm the High Princess because the Silver Crystal chose me as it's heiress. The Celestial Chalice was born from the Silver Crystal, Golden Crystal, and Galaxy Cauldron's powers. According to the ancient texts that are kept in my subspace pocket The only other Senshi Power Item to be created from those three power sources is Sailor Cosmos's transformation broach. From what my mother explained to me when I began my training under her to take my place as Sailor Moon. She explained that the Celestial Chalice is more powerful than Sailor Comos's senshi powers. It has only ever appeared before a Lunar Senshi once in all of history. In order for a senshi to wield it she must be pure of heart, mind, and soul. They must be willing to die to protect thier loved ones. Soul mate included." Takato uses the Silver Crystal to show her memory of the lesson in which her mother covered the Celestial Chalice.
(Flash Back)
Princess Serenity is sitting in her mothers study listening with rapt attention to her lesson. Her mother was her instructor in the Lunar ways. "Okay now Serena. Today We'll be covering something very important. The legendary Celestial Chalice." Serenity only twelve at the time tilts her head and asks, "Celestial Chalice, what's that mother? Is it anything like the Purity Chalice." Queen Serenity smiled, "It sort of is darling. The three sacred talismans that Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto wield were created by the Celestial Chalice. To be precise the Purity Chalice is a very low key form of the Celestial Chalice. It's powers only were used once by a Lunar senshi who prooved herself." Princess Serenity was confused, "Prooved herself. How did she do it?"
Queen Serenity said, "By willingly giving her life for those she loved. She was willing to sacrifice herself for her family, friends, and soul mate. She knew her sacrifice would shatter her soul mate, but she still went through with it because she loved them with all her heart and soul. To be worthy one must have a pure heart, mind, and soul. The Celestial Chalice was created eons ago by the Silver Crystal, Golden Crystal, and the Galaxy Cauldron. The only other senshi item created by those objects was the transformation broach of Sailor Cosmos."

Once it was over the others were shocked. They had no idea something so powerful existed in their world. Tagiru realised something then. "Wait if Mikey saw the same battle you did and saw you using the chalice. Does that mean there's gonna be a battle where you try to sacrifice yourself?!" The others were all worried. Both human and digimon. They really didn't want to lose their friend. No one ever found out what happened to the last Lunar senshi who used the Chalice, at least that's what they got from the memory. Mikey said, "Under no circumstance are you allowed to even try to sacrifice yourself Takato. Understand?" Takato said, "I can't agree to that Mikey. You know I can't do that. I follow my heart. It's telling me that I may have no choice if the battle we both saw comes to pass."
The others were really freaking out at Takato's admission. Veemon and Gigimon were both silent. They knew what happened to the senshi. She was Sailor Cosmos. She gave up the power of the Chalice to revive her loved ones. It was Queen Diana D'Luna, Queen Serenity's mother. Takato/Princess Serenity's grandmother. Takato had best hope to hell that her loved ones were not dead when she recieved the Chalice or just like Diana she would be left with an eternity of solitude and eternal loneliness. Since Sailor Cosmos was the Lonely Soldier and Solitary Guardian of the Cosimic forces. She would never get to be with her loved ones again if that happened. Christopher would be as heart broken as everyone else if that happened.
A week later Takato is walking through town when she spies a very familiar guy. "Seiya Kou. What a surprise." Seiya sees an all to familiar form encompass Takato. "Odango? I know Kakyuu said you looked different but I never thought you would be a brunette." Takato laughs, "Well reincarnation is funny that way. It's no garuntee you would look the same, act the same, or even be the same gender as your previous incarnation." Seiya laughed as well, "That's true Odango. So what's the issue this time? Chaos again." Takato shrugs, "I'm not sure. All I know is that it's something big." Seiya nods, "Obviously if we Starlights along with Galaxia are now on earth."
A dark cloud is slowly slinking through the Dimmensional gateways. Curse that Hazard brat and her odd light. He may have fused with remants of the Negaforce and Wiseman but the D-Reaper would get back at the Hazard bitch for keeping him from attacking those bratty Tamers. He would kill her in order to finish what he started three years ago. To destroy the human world and the digital world. If he had to make a deal with Quartzmon, so be it.
In Shinonome Mikey is the first to spot the cloud of dark power. He says over his communicator, "Guys, it's go time!" The Hunters and the four visiting senshi all head for the center of town. The families of the Hunters along with the DATS team and the few Tamers Takato actually talked to and trusted were threre as well. Each of the girls who were Sailor scouts transformed and fought. However, they were all flung back. Takato knew she had to stop this. She knew her current power level while strong wasn't enough. Ending the newly created Armageddon Phantom would cost Takato her own life. Tears dripped down her face as she de-transformed and put up a protective barrier. Mikey knew what she was doing. "Takato stop! You know what will happen. This creeps power backlashed with your own will kill you. I don't want you to get hurt sis. Please...please don't." Mikey was crying. So was Takato. She said, "I'm so sorry big brother. I want to protect you guys. I love you all. Goodbye." Everyone was stunned that Takato would do something like this. Christopher screamed, "TAKATO!"
Takato started glowing with pure light as white feathered wings burst from her back. Running towards the Armageddon Phantom she jumped right smack dab into his core. She called forward the Sword of Artemis since she and Venus were the only ones who could use it. The two were trading blows inside the cloud of evil energy. Takato grunted in pain as she felt the pain from having a sword in her shoulder. She dropped from blood loss. The Armageddon Phantom in human form(A/N: It's male Takato dressed in black and crimsion) walked to stand in front of her. "Well little girl ready to give up yet? Your pathetic loved ones won't be too difficult to kill." Takato glared at her evil counterpart. "Never! The ones outside of this dark cloud are those I love. I would give up my life and soul if it meant their safety!" Before the evil copy of Takato could raise his sword to kill her a bright light shone from deep within her own heart. Eradicating the cloud of energy. Takato's evil counterpart yelled in pure pain. "What the hell is this damned light?!"
From the outside of the cloud all of the hunters, their partners, their families, and all of the hunters allies were stunned to see the light. Takato was flying in mid air. She was wearing her princess dress and her hair was once again blonde. However, they noticed her eyes were a vibrant silver. Just like Mikey's. She spoke with a warm and gentle tone of voice,
"You were decieved by your own cruel intentions. To foreswear the second chance you were offered. To betray the ones you cared about in a fit of rage and hatred. I know what you fealt believe me Kinai I do. Your Guilmon was deleted and your family killed. Your loved ones all shunted you aside. Give me a chance to show you a world where someone would care for you. Please dearest brother."
The Armageggon Phantom now known as Kinai growled out, "What could you possibly know? Your Guilmon is here. Mine isn't!" Takato smiled sadly before placing a hand on his cheek. "I'm going to take you back. To the moment where my fate was changed. Simply because Guilmon traded fates with Jeri's partner."
(Flash back)
Beelzemon was calling Leomon out on his values. Leomon said, "I won't let you harm the children." Beelzemon scoffed, "You won't let me?! HA!" As Beelzemon went to stab Leomon in the gut, a red and black blur ran out in front of Leomon. Takato was wide eyed in shock. "GUILMON!" Beelzemon smirked, "Oh how the mighty Hazard has fallen." Guilmon smiled weakly, "I love you Takatomon. Never forget that my princess." Guilmon dissolved into data particles which Beelzemon abosrbed. Takato dropped to her knees just sobbing as her D-Arc screen turned to static. Kazu said, "I can't believe it. He got Guilmon. He's gone."
(End Flash Back)
Takato had the same pain in her eyes that Kinai saw in his own eyes. He cried for the first time in he didn't know how long. "Why? Why didn't you kill Beelzemon for what he did?" Takato smiled sadly, "It was because I made Guilmon a promise. I promised that no matter how, if we were seperated that I would stay strong for him and live my life helping others." Kinai dropped to his knees in pain. A black mist appeared from his body. Takato steeled herself as a light shone from her heart again. The light took the shape of the same chalice that Mikey said was from his dream. Takato said, "It's the Celestial Moon Challice."
A girl with blonde hair and ice blue eyes in a black and maroon sailor scout uniform was watching from a roof top. A key shaped staff in her hand. She smiled and said, "My Princess is doing well. It seems as the Sailor Scout of Time and Space my presence is not needed yet. Well Alice, it's time to go back to your post. " With her admission to herself as if to remind her of the duty she had Alice McCoy took her leave to continue her duty as Sailor Pluto.
Takato spoke firmly, "Celestial Moon Crisis Power!" With in the white light of the Lunar senshi a whole new transformation took place. She had a silver bodice with a golden skirt that had ribbons of every senshi color decorating it, white high heels with white ribbons twinning up her legs, a pair of gold wrist length gloves with white trim, a gold choker with a white cresent moon ornament, A band made of pure white crystal was woven into her currently blonde hair, Her cresent moon sigil was glowing brightly, her bows were silver, Back bow is see through and super length, she had crystal armbands and bits of crystaline armor on some parts of her uniform, she held the Crystal Sword of Selene on a white sheath, finally she held a silver staff with a white heart shaped crystal within a glass sphere. She also had white feather wings coming out of her back.
Everyone when the henshin field faded, Kinai included were awestruck. Light rolled off Takato in waves. Her power glowed bright and strong. Angie said, "So this is legendary Celestial Sailor Scout. She is truely a sight to behold." The others had to agree. The strange mist that came frome Kinai attempted to kill him. But Takato was too fast. "Crystal Prisim!"
A barrier of light that looked much crystal appeared in front of them. Cancelling out the attack. "Cosmic Turbulance!" A burst of white light from Takato's staff destroyed the strange black mist. She turned to face Kinai. He said, "If your going to kill me go ahead. I deserve it after what I did." Takato smiled gently and switched to her normal form. She embraced him in a warm hug. "I would never hurt you dearest brother. If I did, I would be no better than Kuroshi and unworthy to call myself your sister." Kinai cried and hugged Takato close.
Takato's barrier faded as Sam asked, "Well this was a hell of a battle ending. But what do we do about Kinai? He's Takato's alternate self from a different reality. So I just don't see how we can have him stay here. Takato grinned and brought out her crystal. -Silver Crystal grant Kinai what he needs to live in our world. With my family as my brother.- To say they were stunned was an understatement. Kinai hugged his sister close. When he lived as Takato Matsuki he never thought he would have a sister or have someone who cared for him like Guilmon did.
Mrs. Matsuki said, "Well we need to decide on a name for our new son." The boy in question said, "If you don't mind I'd prefer to be called Kinai Yoru Matsuki." Takato's crytal flashed signifying the choice was honored. A silver yellow Fusion Loader appeared as a digiegg that hatched into BlackGigimon showed up. BlackGigimon giggled, "I missed you Kinai." Kinai grinned just liked his sister did when Gigimon came back to her.
A few weeks later Kinai was used to living with the Matsuki's. Dulcea granted him Ninjetti Powers as well. He held the spirit of the Phoenix. His uniform was the same silver yellow color as his Fusion Loader. All in all it was a peaceful time. Kinai had a family who loved him unconditionally, he had his digital brother back, and he had a group of friends who he knew he could trust.
