Chapter Seventeen
A pierce cry hit the area, as the youma fell to the ground from the punch. The girl Getsu landed into a roll onto her knees. She cried punching the ground as it vibrated and shook. Her body shaking filled with wild currents running through her outer body.
Getsu didn't seem done as her body still cackled with the lighting energy as she stood up attacking the monster with each frightening blow.
Makoto watch de-transformed at the fully charged vengeful Getsu.
Mercury was holding her close to her as the others were still trying to restrain the others, snapping out of the trance that Makoto still held.
She never figured this girl would have this much power and emotion.
She remembered running towards the defenseless girl and suddenly she began to glow.
The monster realized and screamed at the other saying they were fooled. The boy Second ran up dagger in the air, until Aya came full tackle into the boy causing him to fall to the floor the dagger being knocked out of his hands.
The Youma screeched as it began slither towards the seemed comatose Gestu.
He lifted his large sharp claws to attack the Getsu his arm swinging towards her.
"Getsu get up!" Jupiter yelled, the others looked over to Jupiter and Getsu as they began running to her.
Jupiter started charging; when suddenly her body stopped it seemed to pulse violently like her body was being ripped apart. She suddenly fell to her hands and knees. Looking down to see her uniform turning into her civillian clothing.
"Jupiter!" Mercury called, breaking away from the group to run back to her…Suddenly Jupiter looked up to see a bright green light shine and break away the monster blinding him…
A brightly glowing green Getsu hovered in the air, Jupiter looked up amazed. She knew what was happening as the sign glowed on Getsu's forehead.
Getsu's cry hit their ears, as Jupiter fell back into the frantic Mercury's arms and de-transformed into Makoto.
Her blurry eyes saw the now fully charge Getsu walking towards the monster that was backing up and ordering his minions, when suddenly Getsu stopped punching the ground the area shattered and vibrated around her. Jupiter watched as the minions flew back and fell hard on their backs.
The rest became a blurr as a charge Getsu started her relentless beating. She was hit hard by the monster and flew into the fence. Getsu though pulled away he body still glowing brightly a nose bleed began to appear dripping down her upper lip. She screamed and went at it again each punch and wild kick landing hard into the monster.
All the others could do was watch, Getsu Finally hand him by the neck and was beating hard into his face. The black slime and yellow gush came from its body. Getsu kept punching as hard as she could sending one violent current through the monsters body after another. Finally someone ran over to her.
"Getsu please stop that's enough!"
It was Makoto herself shouting she realized. Getsu stopped her fist froze she looked over at them. She stood up looking at the barely conscious monster. One final cry her energy left her into the monster as it cried loudly. A white streams cracking out of its skin, Getsu seemed to put all her energy into it.
"This is for all those people…." She kept going. "Chiro, Sakura and finally Joan you fucker!?" The monster gave one last cry and the white light exploded and shinned over them and the entire area. The suitcase seemed too exploded open as the energys flew into the knocked out zombies each one. The last thing Makoto saw was Getsu falling to her knees…
And then white…
(….)
Police officers, firefighters and paramedics were at the scene. A very tired bunch of students and faculty wrapped in blankets were sitting on the grass nearby. Looking around confused and dazed.
Ami watched as the Union guards were taking the group of boys. That were all human once again and looks of hopelessness and fear. Like they were ripped away from something. One was bed strapped and placed in the back of an ambulance truck. He had a flat mohawk that was pressed on the side of his face and he seemed thin and pale.
"You will all be sorry when he comes back! He will slice off your heads I warn you!" His laughter was maniac and insane.
Ami realized he was too far gone, the others were in handcuffs and being put into the Union trucks for 'talking'. As the doors closed the Union officer promised there return to the proper jail cells they deserve.
Ami walked over to, Rei and Minako. They were talking to their prodigies each separately. They seemed shaken from the ordeal and didn't know what to say, but to nod or shake every time there Sensei's asked something.
Aya was sitting on a lone bench, and Ami decided not to even try for now. She was looking over at a lone girl who was having her eyes being checked by a paramedic. Who seemed to try and convince her to go to the hospital and the girl kept shaking her head.
Just a few feet away leaning on a car was none other than her partner staring at the girl, the one who finished it. Her prodigy.
The one who made Makoto de-transform….
Looking over she watched a black body bag being zipped up and placed on a gurney to be taken into a paramedic truck. The doors closing shut.
Getsu the girl who stepped away from the paramedic walked towards the ambulance truck to watch it drive away with the body of the poor boy. Suddenly the numb eyes sprung up fresh tears as she fell to ground on her hands and knees.
Makoto instantly walked over dismissing a Union guard to carefully place a hand on her shoulder. Quietly the girl sat up a bit wiped her eyes and let Makoto's hand stay there.
Ami watch from afar, she couldn't help but flicker back at a strange thought. That it took death to finally have the girl to unlock her powers.
Was this sign of some kind?
She walked over to see a few officers kneel down and with latex gloves pick up the weirdly designed dagger and place it in a plastic bag for evidence.
Ami warily stared at it to look back at Aya who got up and was walking over to some dazed students who were wandering around looking for their parents. Telling them to relax and sat them on a bench.
Ami frowned looking up at the dusk sky and realized what a day it had been for their prodigies. And she knew from here on out it was going to get harder and harder.
(….)
A few weeks passed the autumn leaves were floating around the Jupiter College, whatever happen became almost made up. The so called black out was made by some robbers looking for money and taking out hostages.
Monsters and Life sucking suitcases, with a group of power teens and young adults was a myth. And what Sailor Scouts came to the school?
News reports still didn't lie and told the truth. Which was a lie, a big lie someone died and should have been showed to die as a hero.
Getsu was staring from afar as a black coffin was placed into the ground. The non-citizens for some reason stayed with the old ways of burying the dead.
But that didn't matter, none of it did the person in there wasn't there anymore. He was gone. A few people gathered around the area throwing down dirt, a woman was sobbing leaning against a very tall thin man, with gray hair on the sides and dark black hair up top.
His dark eyes looked up and noticed her. Getsu flinched she was far back leaning against a tree she was wearing her normal clothing, but instead of hate. The man's look seemed even more sad, he seemed to hold his hand up to ask her to wait for him for a few moments.
Getsu nodded just once, and the man nodded back as the final sayings to Joan were finished.
Getsu told Makoto she had much to deal with before agreeing to her next step. Even though her frustrated partner watched from a corner, she seemed to let Makoto deal with Getsu herself and Makoto agreed.
When the service ended a very tired Getsu walked over and the lone man was standing there staring at the tombstone that was already placed there.
"Huh funny when I put that here…I always expected it was for me first not my children…." He said softly.
"I'm so sorry…" Getsu whispered.
"Mmmm no need a woman stopped by to tell me everything he did, I'm glad he died doing something that was good…." He crouched down touching the soft dirt, Getsu stood there looking at him.
"Is there a reason why you wanted to see me Sir? Mayor Sir?"
The Mayor looked at her and sighed standing back up. He fished something out of his inner coat pocket it was a white envelope.
Getsu felt it, it was pretty full and something with a weird shape was pressing against her thumb.
"Also this…." The man took out a folded up piece of paper. "It seemed important and meant for you…I'll leave you alone to pay your respects. Out of all the people he would want here I know it would have been you…" The man started to walk away.
"Thank you…" Was all she could say, the man stopped to turn to her and smile.
"No thank you…you are only one who made my son truly happy…Thank you Getsu." He then walked away.
Getsu sat down at one of the white chairs, and placed the heavy envelope down. To unfold the letter first
She began to read, it was hand written romanized Kanji. She only knew a few people besides herself, who could do this, and that was Joan.
"Dear, Getsu…..Since I'm idiot and always have these death threats and stupid choices. I wrote this in case something ever happens to me…."
Getsu laughed a little, but kept on reading.
"I never told you this, but before I met you in middle school…..we knew each other before in fact. We knew each other as children."
Her eyes widened cause, an old polar picture was taped to the middle of the letter. She pulled it off, and it was picture of her as a kid five or six grinning into the photo up close holding someone. Next to her was a girl with pigtails, frowning and she seemed to be crying.
"I remember this picture because that's when you stood up to me when I was bullied you took a pictue with a weird old polar camera? Was that what it was called? You said you never wanted to forget.
I also remember being in the car with your mother as we sang every day the same song over and over. Your mother thought it was so weird because it was such a sad song…but we sang it every day in her car. Anyways I'm getting off track because…Well I was there when you got into car accident..
My mother was drinking again and being all wild and my dad was trying to handle her. I cried and cried and you agreed to get in a car to see me.
I didn't know that was the worst decision I ever made. Right about to turn down my street. That truck came full force at you guys. I remember hearing the crash and your scream. I ran out the door demanding my father to call the cops. When I got there the man was on another yard getting out his car stumbling he was drunk. I ran to the car, and you were upside down passed out. And your mom she was awake but barely and mumbled to me to get you out! Get you out over and over…."
Getsu clutched the letter as drops of tears hit the paper.
"I was desperate; suddenly I heard a voice a woman's voice. She told me it would be okay, and suddenly the door swung open. I crawled in and got you dragging you back. As your mother began crying happily, my father came out grabbing her hand saying she was going to be alright. He was going to contact your father right away…she smiled and said to not focus on her, but you. You needed serious medical help they helped you, but for your mother…..
Getsu I met you again and you didn't remember, but that was okay,
Because you didn't have any pain and I befriended you this time around. Then we dated and you helped me so much. Thank you Getsu I just wanted you know this Getsu because even if I did all that stupid bullshit. Taunting you and getting into fights with you it was never serious, I just missed you."
Getsu dropped the paper and opened up the envelope. It was all the money he took from her at the bar that night ago and much more and sliver chain with a cold cross on it. Getsu remembered Joan's family was heavily into Christianity. It was Christmas gift to him.
From her.
She clutched the necklace and suddenly felt tears roll down her face, crying hard she let everything out.
"Getsu…you are special and meant to do great things….
I will always love you. Love Joan Kishi…"
