Chapter 8 ~ The Last Straw

"This necklace, it was our mothers. And I now entrust it to you Bulla."

Trunks' sister, now wide eyed, smiled and took the necklace from the napkin.

"Wow, it's beautiful." her eyes sparkled.

"I know, and it is now all yours, take good care of it." Trunks smiled and hugged her sister.

"Hey Ami! The gunshots stopped."

"You're right, I haven't heard them for a long while now."

"Guys!" Another voice yelled from afar.

"Hm?" Minako looked back.

"Be careful Sailor Venus, it can be the shooter."

"Wait up!" the voice yelled again.

Ami smiled as soon as she saw who the figure approaching was.

"Sailor Moon!" she yelled.

"Got that right!" the blonde warrior huffed as she reached her friends.

"I thought you weren't coming." Minako approached the moon princess.

"I take everything back, remember when Mamoru was taken by Queen Beryl?"

"Yeah I do!"

"Like if it were yesterday Sailor Moon." Ami smiled.

"That's when I froze, and thought about what you both had said, then I came to the conclusion of helping you two."

Minako smiled brightly, Usagi giggling.

"No time to talk now, we have to get to the bottom of this crime." Sailor Moon then started to run off into the forest.

"And she's usually the klutz." Minako giggled and followed Usagi.

"Wait up!" Ami ran after Venus.

"You were right Artemis, one of our scouts has gone off." Luna looked from above the Tsukino mansion.

"I just hope our scouts don't start a fire from this."

"Right, we don't want a fight to start right when the world just obtained peace." Luna looked up at the moon.

"I knew it! I knew it! I knew it!" Healer yelled from above her lungs.

"Healer, calm down, Seiya's in a better place now."

"How can I calm down when we are talking about family here?!"

"Sailor Star Maker!"

"Sailor Star Healer!"

Familiar voices yelled from not that far.

Yaten and Taiki looked up, soon finding the now traumatized Sailor Scouts staring at Seiya's corpse.

"S-Seiya . . . !" Usagi's eyes widened.

Minako and Ami looked up at the standing Starlights.

"He's gone." Healer sobbed.

Taiki frowned, "Whoever did this, will feel the wrath of the Starlights."

Usagi gasped, "Guys! No violence please."

"They killed Seiya! They will die! Whoever touched Seiya will die!" Healer yelled.

"Guys, no violence, we don't need any violence to fix this problem." Sailor Moon repeated.

"We're talking about death Sailor Moon! DEATH! Whoever killed Seiya WILL die! We will get revenge! No matter who it is!" Healer frowned, a cascade of tears flowing from her eyes.

Just then, the trees and bushes started to rustle, the wind blowing very hard.

The Sailor Scouts gasped as they looked up, a black figure flying above them.

The figure smirked, it's dark cape flowing through the wind as it disappeared.

"Who could that have been?"

Usagi stood there, paralyzed and frightened.

"No, that figure just now, it . . . it couldn't be Tuxedo Mask!"
