It was a few days later when the attack came. Rei and James had warned the Senshi that today was the day. Each of them nodded with understanding, separating in couples to say their goodbyes to their loved ones.
Mamoru walked into the Crown, the familiar sound of bells chimed above his head as he passed through the door. His blonde haired friend looked up at his arrival and smiled at him.
"Hey buddy! Long time no see" He smiled
Mamoru tried to smile back "Yea I've kinda been busy" He replied lamely.
This may be the last time he would see his best friend.
"I haven't seen the girls around here either, is everything ok?" Motoki asked
Mamoru sighed deeply, he didn't want to lie but he had to.
"Hai Motoki, everything's fine, they're just busy" Mamoru lied
Motoki sensed this and frowned slightly but he shrugged it off. He knew that Mamoru had been hiding something from him for a while now but he knew that his best friend would tell him when he was ready.
He pulled a cup from the cupboard behind the counter and started to make his friend a coffee.
"Sooo how are you and Usagi doing" Motoki winked at the ebony haired man. He saw pain flash through his eyes and his confusion deepened.
Mamoru forced the pain out of his eyes and his voice before he replied "Yea we're better then ever" He smiled.
"Glad to hear it" Motoki smiled reassuringly setting the coffee on the table infront of Mamoru. Mamoru just stared at it, trying to figure out what he was going to say.
"You know Motoki; you are my best friend right?" Mamoru said suddenly after a while.
Motoki looked up from the counter he was wiping and stared at him through concerned eyes.
"Of course and you're mine…" Motoki replied with a frown
"And no matter what happens I'll be here for you…" Mamoru continued with a sigh, a far away gaze in his eyes.
"Mamoru what's going on?" Motoki asked, fear in his voice. Mamoru never opened up to him apart from the time when he told him that his parents died in a car crash.
Mamoru sighed again, running a hand through his hair.
"I hate lying to you" He stated firmly, His eyes lowered to his coffee cup again. Motoki just stared. "But I can't tell you…Gomenasai Motoki…"
"You can tell me anything Mamoru" Motoki replied
"Not this…"
"Are you in danger?"
Mamoru looked up at Motoki. That's all Motoki needed. He jumped over the counter and pulled his friend into a tight, but manly, hug. He patted him on the back firmly, letting Mamoru know that he was there for him.
Something inside Motoki told him that Mamoru needed to do what ever it was he was doing so he kept his protests inside of him and continued to bear hug his friend.
Mamoru didn't know how to react; he was waiting for Motoki's outraged protests of concern but when he felt the impact of his body crash into his, shocked wasn't a feeling strong enough to what was coursing through him.
When they finally broke apart Motoki put a hand on Mamoru's shoulder and looked at him with a firm gaze.
"Be careful" His blonde haired friend said strongly.
Mamoru nodded without a word. Suddenly his communicator started to go off and determination, fear and love filled his eyes. Motoki suddenly understood what was happening and he looked at his friend, worry was evident in his face.
"Go and save her Tuxedo Kamen" He said with a small smile.
It all added up, the constant beeping all five girls and he share, the worried looks they would then throw at each other, the running off and then five minutes later they would all appear on his TV screen fighting for the safety of their city and their world. Usagi was Sailor Moon and the others were her Senshi. It all made sense now and Motoki was scared for them all.
Mamoru stared at him and patted him on the back one more time before running out of the arcade towards the battle of their lives.
Motoki turned around and retrieved a remote out of his apron, he turned on the TV and watched as Sailor Mercury, a blonde haired general and a black cat fought off a white haired man that was throwing Energy balls at the couple. Behind the white haired man stood a girl that looked exactly like his little 'sister' but instead of golden radiant blonde hair and innocent clothes, she wore dead black hair and a reveling blood red gown.
Motoki's eyes filled with tears as he watched Mercury plead to Usagi.
----------- At the battle --------
Mercury screamed as an energy ball crashed into her.
Luna and Zack cried out to her as she flew back into the air.
The blue haired Senshi looked up from her painful position on the cold ground and stared at her black haired princess.
"Usagi-Chan listen to me please!" She pleaded "You are my friend and I love you so much!"
Usagi laughed coldly. "You're so pathetic! Diamond finish her off…"
Her prince smiled and nodded throwing another energy ball at her. Zack suddenly jumped infront of Mercury, picked her up and jumped out of its way.
"Argiato Zack" She sighed thankfully into his warm chest.
"JUPITER THUNDER BOLT ZAP" A powerful voice echoed from around them. Diamond didn't see the lightening speeding towards him. It crashed into his body and he yelled as his cold blood warmed at the surge of electricity coursing through his veins.
Jupiter and Nate suddenly jumped down infront of the couple with a hard glares aimed in the direction of the white haired prince.
"Keep your dirty hands away from my friends" She ordered.
"Are you okay Ami-Chan?" Nate asked in a soft voice, glancing behind him. Zack set the bluette into the ground.
"Hai, don't worry about me" Mercury smiled, Luna ran over to them swiftly, shooting a look towards the evil couple.
Usagi was helping Diamond gather himself.
"We need to get close enough for me to do the mind meld" Luna cried
Rei and James suddenly ran from behind them.
"Come on guys, we have to hurt Diamond more so we can get to Serenity!" James cried
The other Senshi nodded with agreement.
They all turned on the evil couple, Usagi was helping Diamond up.
"MARS FIREBALL…."
"JUPITER THUNDER BOLT…"
"MERCURY BUBBLES…"
James opened his hands and red streaks of energy shot out of them towards the evil prince.
Nate opened his hands and balls of green sharp energy shot out of them and joined with James's attack
Zack open his hands and blue whirls of wind shot out of them towards Diamond
"CHARGE"
"ZAP"
"BLAST"
The Senshi's attacks joined with the Generals and they all hurtled towards the Prince. Usagi cried out with warning as she leapt back, shielding her face. She could hear her love shout with pain and soar through the air as he crashed through a window of a shop nearby.
"NOOOOOOOO DIAMOND!" Usagi screamed. She started to run towards the shop window but a firm voice stopped her in her tracks.
"Matte Usako" Mamoru called from behind her.
Usagi turned towards him and shot his a glare. Is looks could kill he would be a pile of rose dust by now.
Rei signaled from infront of him to distract her, Usagi's back was turned to her thankfully so they continued to quietly advance towards her.
"Why are you doing this Usako" Mamoru asked his attention turning back to his dark haired love infront of him.
"Doing what?" She spat with hatred
"Hurting your friends"
"You're not my friends"
"Yes we are Usako. We love you so much" Mamoru's eyes darted to the Senshi who needed more time.
Usagi smiled sickly "Awww this is so sweet im getting nauseous"
"Its true, laugh all you want Usako, its true it always has been true and it always will be true" Mamoru stated firmly.
Usagi sighed with tiredness. She yawned mockingly and then grinned at Mamoru.
"See what your sappy little talks are doing to me?" She laughed "Boring" She rolled her eyes.
"The Luna Mind Meld" A voice said behind her.
Usagi gasped, noticing how close the voice was to her and spun around suddenly.
A gold beam connected to her head as she hissed with reluctance as her eyes closed.
Luna closed her eyes with concentration trying to brake through the dark barrier in her mind. Usagi screamed with anger she tried to shove Luna out of her mind.
"Im not giving up on you Usagi-Chan" Luna cried, sweat beads spread around her forehead as she squeezed her eyes tightly with determination. Tears rolled down her fur from her closed eyes as Usagi's memories played in her head.
"We hate you Sailor Moon! You're a pathetic leader!" Sailor Venus yelled
Usagi's eyes filled with tears. "No…" She whimpered
"You're a wimp, a crybaby and a klutz!" Jupiter shouted
"You're worthless and useless and we don't want you anywhere near us!" Mercury screamed
"Go and jump off a cliff you little girl" Mars spat with an angry glare as she shoved the blonde away.
Usagi sobbed as she spun around to face Tuxedo Kamen.
"Mamo-Chan…Please…" She begged
"Get away from me, your nothing to me… your shit under my shoe… you're that little white scummy substance you get on the corner of you mouth when you're thirsty..." Mamoru laughed "I never loved you and I never will"
Usagi screamed with desperation and pain
"Usagi-Chan they're not your real memories please let me in and show you what's real!" Luna pleaded, growing tired and weak.
"LEAVE ME ALONE!" Usagi shouted with rage. Her eyes snapped open and she opened her palm, blowing up the ground inches away from the black cat. Luna flew through the air and crashed into a wall near by. Her crumpled body ploughed into the ground as she layed there motionless.
"LUNA!!!" Jupiter cried. The Senshi and Mamoru ran towards her motionless body.
Mercury checked for a pulse and palled suddenly.
"No…" Tuxedo Kamen shook his head
"She can't be dead…" Mars laughed nervously, tears pooling into her violet eyes.
Jupiter fell to her knees, next to Mercury and reached out a shaking hand to touch the black cat. Her fur was already cooling.
They could hear Usagi laughing behind them and Diamond joining her.
The Generals spun around, protecting the Senshi's backs.
"I can't believe Usagi killed her…" Mercury whispered
"We can't loose focus" Nate stated, softly but firmly.
"Nate's right…We need to fight for Luna…" Rei agreed, wiping the tears out of her eyes.
Mamoru just stared at the cats little body.
A painful strong yell filled the air around them as James was thrown into a wall by Diamond's energy ball.
The Senshi spun around to see the generals fighting off the evil couple.
"Stop it Usagi-Chan! Please!" Jupiter pleaded "Look what you done to Luna! You killed her! After everything she's done for you" Tears fell down her cheeks as Usagi smiled.
"She made my life a misery as did all of you's…now your paying for it! And I can be truly happy" She raised her closed hand and black ball full of toxic energy flew towards Jupiter. Nate pulled her out of the way just in time and it crashed into a wall behind them.
"The memories you possess is not real Usako! They are implants that Diamond have put in your head to turn you against us" Mamoru explained desperately, glancing towards the motionless cat.
"Why should I trust you?" Usagi roared; spit escaping her venomous small mouth.
"Because we love you!" Mars cried, sniffling and wiping a tear away from her eyes
"Lies, all lies…Serenity do not listen to them. They only want you with them because they don't want to die and they want the power of the Silver crystal with them…" Diamond cooed seductively, brushing her long black hair off of her shoulder and placing a kiss on her bare collarbone.
Usagi shuddered and glared at the Senshi. Without another word she threw another energy balls at them all. They all screamed as pain ripped through there bodies and they flew through the air, crashing into the ground beneath them.
"Where the hell is Minako" Mars grumbled as she slowly lifted herself off the ground.
"I don't know, but she needs to hurry up before we get killed" Mercury sighed, helping Zack to his feet.
Jupiter swayed slightly on her feet as her focus cleared slightly.
Mamoru rose to his feet aswell, giving Nate a hand up.
"She's very powerful" Nate stated
"What do we do? Luna's mind meld didn't work…" Zack sighed
"The only plan we have is Emeralds…" Mercury bowed her head with depression.
"DUCK!" Mamoru shouted
Everyone looked up to see an energy ball heading towards them. They all dove behind a tipped up car.
"That was close…" Mars growled
"We have to use Emeralds plan…" Jupiter looked at Mercury and then at Mamoru.
He closed his eyes tightly as a tear rolled down his cheek.
"We don't want to hurt her either Mamoru-San…Demo…It's the only thing we have…" Mars agreed with a small sigh
"I know…" He said quietly
"COME OUT COME OUT WHERE EVER YOU ARE SENSHI" Usagi's icy voice giggled cruelly.
A deep sigh escaped Mamoru's lips as he looked around the car to see Usagi talking quietly with Diamond, her face was full of pure evil and her eyes were black as she brought Diamonds head closer to hers for a kiss full of lust.
Mamoru closed his eyes and turned back around. When he opened his eyes everyone was looking at him.
"The only way" Mamoru agreed with a small gasp.
"VENUS LOVE CHAIN ENCIRCLE!" A voice called out,
Everyone's eyes widened as they all looked around the car to see Sailor Venus, Kyle and Artemis standing infront of Diamond and Usagi, who were tied up with golden love hearts, pulsing with power.
"Where's the Senshi?" Venus demanded out of Diamond. Kyle held a sharp golden knife at his throat.
"Get off of him!" Usagi spat with a glare at Minako, she struggled to get out of her restraint but failed.
"We're here Minako" Tuxedo Kamen said, coming out from behind the car. Everyone else followed suit.
Venus turned around and smiled when she saw everyone, almost in one piece.
"Im so glad you guys are ok!" She beamed
"No thanks to you! Why are you so late?" Mars scowled with anger burning in her eyes
"Rei…Gomenasai... I was...-"She was cut off by Artemis's small voice
"Where's Luna?"
Instantly Usagi started to laugh and Diamond grinned. Venus looked around at the couple and frowned then looked at the Senshi.
They all had there heads bowed and Artemis's eyes widened.
"She didn't make it…" Jupiter's voice quivered
"No…." Artemis gasped, tears filling his eyes. He looked around the ruins of the street and his eyes fell across a small black mound of fur up against a wall. "LUNA!" He screamed, running towards her.
"W…What happened?" Venus whispered, watching the small white cat nuzzle the limp black one.
"She tried to do the mind meld on Serenity…" James begun to explain
"And I killed her!" Usagi cheered with a dark and chilling grin.
Venus glared at her and reached up a hand.
SLAP
Usagi was left with a huge red hand print on the side of her face and a mouth that was on the floor. The Senshi and Generals gasped.
"Hell no did you just slap me…" Usagi gathered her shook which was quickly replaced with anger.
Diamond looked at her with raised eyebrows, his eyes still darting towards the knife that was digging into his throat.
"You're not the Usagi we all love and care about so much…" Venus glared; her eyes were filled with tears as she choked on a sob.
Usagi smiled "Im bigger and better"
Venus's eyes closed tightly as she took a couple of steps back so she was with the rest of the Senshi.
"Kyle do it." Venus ordered.
Everything then happened so fast it was in a blur. (AN: Picture this in slow motion) Diamond shouted as he felt the knife dig further into his throat, Usagi gasped and shot her head towards her beloveds shout. The chains around her broke and smashed into pieces, she reached out a hand and shoved Kyle back with so much force that he flew into the air and crashed into the Senshi like a bowling ball into pins. They all crumbled as Kyle's muscular body pummeled into them.
(AN: Return to normal motion)
Usagi picked up Diamond from the ground and started to coo over him as the Senshi all checked each other over. While Usagi was busy they begun to scheme.
"Emeralds plan…" Zack nodded
"But…" Mamoru begun to protest, keeping an eye on his love.
"It's the only way Tuxedo Kamen…Gomenasai, demo, she's not the Usagi we know…" Mars put a comforting hand on her prince's shoulder. He nodded solemnly with reluctant agreement.
"Minna, charge your attacks just enough to harm her… but not enough to kill her" Mercury ordered
Venus and Jupiter shot each other a look and then took in a deep breath.
"Here we go…" Jupiter mumbled
Everyone took each others hands and created a long line of Senshi and Generals. They faced the two evil 'royals' who frowned, shooting them hard looks.
"Don't fuck with us…" Usagi warned with a hard and angry glare.
"Usagi-Chan, you have to wake up please! See what's really going on we beg you" Rei cried
"Usako we love you so much…don't make us do this…"
Usagi laughed that pure evil laugh that sent shivers down everyone's spin. Artemis sobbed against Luna as he watched the Senshi and Generals prepare themselves.
"You're going to kill me?" Usagi laughed
"Iie, of course not Serenity…we would never kill our princess" Nate stated firmly
"Oh shut up do!" Diamond spat fiercely, grabbing Usagi by the waist and pulling her closer to him. Mamoru shot dangers at the white haired prince.
"NOW MINNA" Venus shouted
Usagi's eyes darted to the Orange Senshi and frowned.
"VENUS CRESENT BEAM…"
Usagi's and Diamonds eyes widened, they shot a look at each other as if to say 'We never predicted this… holy crap!'
"JUPITER THUNDER…"
Anger started to boil inside Usagi as she clenched her fists
"MARS FIRE…"
They don't love me! They want to attack me! Just like they did before! Usagi thought, rage was bubbling through her veins. She started to shake.
"MERCURY BUBBLES…"
The generals all raised there hands ready to shot energy at the Evil Princess.
"IIIIIIIIIIEEEE" Usagi screamed with fury, spit evaded her mouth as she quickly raised her hands and opened the palms.
Jupiter suddenly felt stabbing pains jab at her as she felt herself getting flown through the air. She felt the impact of the cold dirty ground and then she saw darkness. Her last thoughts echoing through the Senshi's minds as they all felt her pain. I love you guys
"MAKOTO" They all cried desperately
Nate sped over to her and dropped beside her; Zack checked for a pulse and bowed his head when he felt none.
Mamoru could hear everyone's sobs as he stared at Usagi who was still shaking with anger, he could see the betrayal in her eyes and he ached to hold her tightly.
He then saw Diamond smirk and lean in to whisper something in her ear. This was the distraction he needed. He spun around towards the group and shouted to Ami.
"Ami, look for a weakness inside of her! Hayaku!" He cried
Mercury quickly wiped the tears from her eyes as she started to type furiously on her little blue computer. Mamoru shot back around watching Usagi as her face turned with anger.
Diamond pulled away from her ear as she looked around for her next victim. When her eyes rested on Mercury steam nearly came out of her ears from the deep hatred she was feeling.
(AN: Slow motion)
Zack spun around from the sobbing Nate in time to see Usagi raise her hands, towards Mercury. He leapt to his feet and cried her name, jumping infront of her.
Mercury looked up with the sound of her name and she gasped as she saw Usagi open her palm. It was to fast for her to move, just as she was bracing herself for the pain she saw a body jump infront of her and take the blast.
The body fell to the floor and stayed motionless on their front. Mercury stared at the limp body infront of her and felt her breath leave her as she stumbled back, realization hitting her hard. She started to shake violently she covered her mouth with her quivering hand.
(AN: Normal Motion)
"Z…Zack…" She let out a small strained sob and looked up and around desperately
A sobbing Venus ran to her and wrapped her in a fierce hug. Zack's shout alerted the others as they all watched him die helplessly for his lover.
Mercury collapsed into Venus's embrace as she let out deep painful sobs. Mamoru stared at Zack through watery eyes.
"Usako why are you doing this to your friends!" He looked up at the princess to see her still trembling with rage.
"Friends? You call yourselves my friends?" Her voice was shaking with anger "FRIENDS DON'T ATTACK EACH OTHER! YOU ATTACKED ME TWICE NOW IT'S MY TURN!" Usagi screamed, raising her hands again for another strike.
"MINNA FALL BACK!" James suddenly yelled, pulling Rei away from Makoto's body and into an alley between two buildings.
Mamoru dived behind the same fallen car he was hiding behind before; he sat on the ground watching as the others ran into the same alley as James and Mars that was opposite him.
"Artemis come here!" Venus tried to shout to the cat that was in the way of the raging evil princess.
The white cat looked from Makoto's body and stared at Venus with blood shot yellow eyes. He then smiled slightly and shook his head.
"Minako, I love you…" He smiled, then he looked a round to the others and his smile widened "I love all of you…demo… I don't belong here anymore…I belong with my soul mate…Luna..." A tear escaped his eye as he looked at Usagi.
She was grinning, cruelty dripping from the corners of her mouth as she advanced on him.
"ATREMIS IIE! COME HERE!!" Venus screamed
As Usagi raised her hand Venus started to run out, however, Kyle grabbed her shoulders and pulled her back into the alleyway. She screamed with protest and begged him desperately to let go.
Artemis looked up into Usagi's black eyes, his eyes fearless. "Usagi-Chan you were once a kind and young girl…what happened?" Artemis asked. He could here Venus screaming at Kyle to let go of her.
"I grew up and woke up, Diamond you have the honors"
She turned her back on the cat and winked at her future husband. Diamond smiled and sent a huge green energy ball towards the white feline. It slammed into his small body and he flew back and smashed into the same wall Luna did. There he lay dead next to his only true love.
"ARTEMIS!!!!!" Venus shrieked, she stopped fighting against Kyle and sobbed against his strong chest. Kyle held her tightly as he stroked her hair. He shot a look towards James and Nate as if to say that things were looking very dim.
Nate scoffed as if to say 'You think?' Sarcastically, a tear rolled down his cheek as he looked at Makoto's still pale body. He instantly looked away with a small cry. James just sighed with frustration.
Mercury and Mars held onto each other so tight that their knuckles were white.
Mamoru opened his eyes that he had previously closed tightly while the poor helpless feline was being killed. He looked across the road into the alley to see everyone hugging each other. He let out a desperate sigh as he ran a large gloved hand through his hair (AN: His top hat had fell off earlier) as he mulled over what to do next.
Luna, Makoto, Zack and Artemis were dead and Usagi was turning more against them by the second. What could they do? Four fighters down and two enemies remaining. No, things weren't looking good for the Senshi, Tokyo or the world.
