I do not own sailor moon or blue seed...if i did they would both still be on air. :D

Nia dove into an open room, landing on the floor she kicked the door closed with her foot blocking her from the three Vampires who were passing by. The sound of Rapid gunfire from the other side told her that she was safe while those in the hallway were busy. Letting out a breath she rested her head back against the floor. She inhaled several deep breaths to clam herself, a noise from the far corner of the room made her entire body tense. She opened her eyes slowly and firmed her grasp on the gun in her hand.

She flipped herself over and pointed the gun right at the darkened corner where she had heard the small noise. "Who's there…..if you don't show yourself I'll shoot you." There was silence for several seconds but she could hear the ragged breaths of someone breathing. "I swear I'll shoot you!" she yelled.

"Please just go away!" said a small voice from the other side of the bed directly to her right. Nia turned and saw a small child crouched in the corner hiding. She had long light brown hair and honey colored eyes, she wore a green dress and looked to only be about seven or eight. "Please we haven't done anything."

Nia stood slowly her gun still pointed at the other corner. "Who's over there?"

"My brother," the little girl said, "He was attacked."

"Attacked by what?"

"I don't know, I think by the humans!" she said through her tears.

Backing against the wall Nia pointed the gun at the little girl, "You're a Vampire." The little girl looked up at her and recognized that she was a human.

"Yes," a loud explosion from the hallway shook the entire room sending plaster and dirt down upon the little girl. "But I have nothing to do with you! Please just go away until my mommy comes back!"

Nia stared at the little girl as she cowered in the corner covering her head. The little girl was scared and Nia could see her shaking, she also heard the little girls sniffles every few seconds. She had been trained to kill Vampires before, but never had she seen a Vampire child. "Where is your brother?" Nia asked.

"Over there, he was attacked," she said pointing to the corner.

Nia glanced between the corner where the little girl was and where she was pointing. After several seconds of internal debate, "Stay there, don't move." She slid against the wall so she could see around the bed. "Hey….what's wrong with you!" He didn't answer but she could still hear his ragged breaths. Reaching down into her belt Nia pulled out her flashlight. "Hey what happened?" she flicked the light on and move it slowly towards the corner, the light fell upon a twisted led lying in a pool of thick dark blood. Moving the light over the body slowly she readied herself to see the worst.

As she pointed the light at the boys face she realized that he looked like young teenager. His face was turned to the wall and his eyes were closed. "Hey what happened to you," she didn't see any wounds. His head lolled to the side to face her and she saw a large bite mark had been taken out of his neck. "Kid are you sure it was a human who attacked him?"

"Yes it was a crazy human, she had long white hair, and blue skin!"

"That wasn't a human!" Nia pointed her gun at the boys face right as he opened his blackened eyes and let out a bone piercing scream. She fired several shots into the young boys chest as he began to stand, he fall backwards onto the wall black blood seeping into his shirt.

"Jacob!" cried the little girl as she ran around the bed to her brother.

"Stop don't touch him!" Nia grabbed the girls hand and pulled her back. "He's been infected by the Virus."

"The Virus? Mommy told me that it killed Vampires," she said as she buried her face into Nia's leg.

"It does, but it usually doesn't work this fast…Lady Sophia must have done something to the other subjects," Nia muttered the last part under her breath.

"Why did you have to kill him?" she asked her eyes overflowing with tears.

Nia looked down at the child, she kneeled in front of her, as she stared at the little girl she knew she should kill her right here. Her finger was on the trigger and her weapon ready to fire. The girl was a Vampire, she was a bloodsucker and she would grow up into an adult Vampire who would kill innocents. However as she stared into the little girls tear filled eyes she couldn't bring herself to raise her weapon. "Because he wasn't your brother anymore, he would have killed you the Virus would have driven him mad."

"So you saved him from becoming a monster?"

Nia felt the little girl touch her arm and for some reason that she didn't understand she felt like she too wanted to cry. "Yes, I stopped him from becoming a monster."

The little girl nodded her head once and turned to her brothers body, she stared at him for several seconds and clasped her hands, "Peace be with you brother." She closed her eyes for several seconds and then turned back to Nia, "Thank you Jacob wouldn't have wanted to hurt me….he was a good brother."

Nia looked at the little girl, "I have a brother too, he's a big jerk most of the time, but I know he wouldn't hurt me either."

The little girl turned to her, "Will you help me find my mommy? I don't want to go out there all alone I can smell all the blood and I don't like it."

"You don't like blood?"

"Not blood from violence, mommy says that 'The only way to do right is to do what others would do to you.'"

"What's your name kid?"

"Cecelia."

"Cecelia do you know the difference between the smell of human blood and Vampire blood?" The little girl nodded, "Can you help me find someone?"

"Will you help me find my mommy too?" Nia nodded, "Okay I'll help you…but what's your name?"

"Nia."

Lita kicked the door to the infirmary open, "Ami I need you!" Nephrite, supported by two young males, followed her through the door. He was bleeding from his chest and his head was rolling from side to side, he was also paler than normal.

Ami turned from one of her patients and quickly assessed the situation, "Put him on that table over there." The two men carried Nephrite over to the table and gently laid him down, Ami came over and ripped his shirt open. "What happened?" she asked seeing the bloody mess that had been his chest.

"A slayer got him with exploding rounds," Lita said tears brimming in her worried eyes.

"Ami took a pair of pliers out and began to remove the pieces of the bullets," as she touched the flesh she heard it sizzle, "Damn its silver." She threw the pliers down and grabbed a bottle, pouring it over his chest she grabbed a scalpel and another pair of pliers, "I need some help over here, he needs surgery!" Ami glanced up at Lita, "What's going on out there?"

Lita's eyes didn't leave Nephrite as Ami began cutting into him, "LITA!" Lita jumped and nodded, "It's a wreck the slayers brought infected Vampires with them they let them loose on the top levels of the house."

Ami froze and stared up at her, "What?"

"They've also altered the Virus, those infected are turning quicker than they had before. It's only taking a few minutes for them to change."

Valencia brushed aside a plastic curtain and emerged from another room, "Where is Darien?"

Lita turned to her, "He was upstairs with Serena last time I saw him."

"He's not with her anymore, Serena came down here and then took off with Jadeite," Ami said as drug out another bullet fragment from Nephrites chest.

"Ami is he…."

"No I'm not going to let him," she said knowing what Lita's question was going to be.

"Lita what about Rei, have you seen Rei?" asked Valencia.

Lita opened her mouth but was cut as Louis walked into the room, "The Princess is safe, she is not here."

"Louis? Where is she?" Valencia demanded looking at him suspiciously.

"With Lenobia," he said.

"Where have you been?"

"With the Princess and my sister, we believed that it would be better for the Princess to remain there. "

"Where is your slayer wife?"

Louis glared at the Queen, "I believe that she and Hermione have come here, Analia's car is outside…."

"So that's why you came down here, to see if your wife was injured yet," Ami said glancing up at him briefly then back down at her work.

"It was the main motivation behind my actions."

"Well as you can see she's not here so unless you plan to pick up a scalpel I suggest that you get out of here," Ami said. Louis glared at Ami then bowed to the Queen and turned to leave. "Just a reminder Louis…." He glanced back at her, "You're wife, as well as Hermione and Serena, were trained by the best they're not going to go down easy."

"Mom? Sam!" Serena called as she ran down the battered hallways. "Mom, Sam!"

"Serena!" Serena turned around, Darien was standing at the end of the hallway, Elena in his arms, behind him was Gaius with Elena's human children.

"Serena?" Sam pushed his way through the group. "Serena Mom's hurt, she's been injured, I don't know what's wrong with her."

Serena looked past Sam as he spoke and at Elena, then she locked eyes with Darien. 'The virus?'

Darien gave her a nod and then looked down into Elena's face, 'She doesn't have much time.'

Serena closed her eyes and then nodded, "Come on let's get her into a room." Serena turned and led the way, they walked to the end of the corner and found a room that hadn't sustained too much damage. Serena kicked in the door and pointed her gun into the room to ensure that it was clear, when it was she motioned for the rest of the group to follow her. Darien came in first and laid Elena down on the bed.

"Serena what are you doing we need to get her to a doctor," Sam said as she closed the door.

Spinning around to face him, "Sam I need you to understand something…" Serena glanced at the three children who were standing around Elena's bedside. She looked back at Sam, "Mom's dying….and there's nothing that anyone can do."

"What are you talking about!"

"She's been infected with the Virus, the Vampire killing virus has been modified its turning them faster than it used to, in about an half an hour she'll be completely gone and we'll have to…." Serena swallowed, "We'll have to stop her."

"No…" Sam's face fell, he stumbled backwards and placed his hand against the wall to steady himself, "No there has to be a cure."

Serena shook her head, "We don't have one, there's nothing…"

"No Serena you are not going to kill our mother!"

"What! What are you talking about," the teenage girl with the dark hair looked up at them.

"Tell her Serena tell her about how you are going to kill her mother," Sam yelled.

"Sam calm down," said Gaius.

"No she's trying to kill mom, she's not even trying to help her, she just wants to kill her."

"No stay away from my mommy!" cried the little girl.

The room interrupted into shouting and crying, Gaius trying to sooth the children while they yelled their protests and Sam's ranting. The sound of her sister crying was piercing and ringing in her ears. Her head began to throb from the sounds, Serena could hear the gunfire from below them in the house, screaming, and loud bangs from grenades. She could hear her own rapid heartbeat inside of her chest and her mother's fluttering heart as well, all the sounds mingling together were overwhelming.

"Stop!" she yelled. The room fell silent instantly.

Darien looked at her, 'Serena?'

She placed her hand on her head and used the blocking techniques that Darien had taught her. She waved her hand at Darien after a few seconds, "I'm fine Darien."

"Fine she's fine with practically executing our mother!" yelled the boy from the bed.

Serena's patience snapped, "Look you insignificant little brat she's my mother too! I don't take any pleasure in the fact that we're going to have to kill her but the reality is that if we don't then she's going to turn into one of those monsters out there and try to kill everyone single one of us."

The little girl began to cry even harder, "But there has to be something that you can do! There's got to be a Virus antidote!" yelled the older girl.

"There isn't," Elena's voice was soft but everyone heard it.

"Mom!"

"Mommy!" Elena reached out and touched her youngest daughters face. "April," she whispered to the small child forcing a smile on to her face despite the pain she was feeling.

"Elena," Gaius said from where he stood at the end of the bed. She looked up at him and smiled weakly.

"Gaius, you made me a promise long ago…I hope that you will extend it to my children, they're going to need you now," she said.

"You have my soul and my loyalty, I will protect them…" he glanced over at Serena, "All of them."

"I don't need your protection," Serena muttered glancing over at Darien.

"No…you've never needed anyone's protection…but I still…." Elena inhaled a shaky breath. "You three need to stick together…." She said to the three children around her bed. "Sam and Gaius will watch over you, and I'm sure you're sister will too," she looked over at Serena momentarily and then back at them. "All of you…be safe…." She said with a smile. "Sam…" Sam stood and went to her side.

"I'm so sorry for all of this," she said, "I never told you the truth and I made you a target for Sophia's plans. The truth is that we are Vampyre, we have that nature….but we also have the ability to create our own destiny, I chose to not be what my family is…..and I hope that you will use your heart and your mind to make the right decisions," Elena smiled weakly at all of them around her. "I love you my darlings."

Gaius glanced at Darien "Elena I can…"

"No take them out of here," Elena said, "Take them to safety, I'm sure the Prince knows a way out." Elena looked up at him Darien nodded once at her and then glanced at Serena, who was staring out of the window.

"Serena…" he began.

"Go it's better if they're gone," Serena said quietly as she stared out towards the back garden on the other side of the house. She could feel a powerful force pushing against another powerful force, and though she couldn't see them she believed she knew who they were. As Darien passed her he gently brushed his hand across her back in support, not just for what she was about to do but for what she would face afterwards.

"Go my dears, the Prince and Gaius will take you to safety…I love you."

April was crying when Darien lifted her into his arms, and the two teenagers looked as if they wanted to protest. Gaius grabbed the arm the young boy and lifted him to his feet, with a gruff command the two of them began to follow out of the door and into the hallway.

"Go with them Sam I don't want you to see this," Elena said. Sam grabbed his mother's hand and squeezed it. "Don't blame Serena for this Sammy, she's only doing what she has to…she's protected you for so long…don't ever be angry with her….she needs you more than you know…she'll help you when the spells begin to wear off."

"Mom…"

"Go Sam…protect your brother and your sisters," Elena said letting go of his hand and turning her face away from him. Sam wiped his face with the back of his hand before standing and glancing at his mother once more. He looked over at Serena who still had her back to them, "Don't let her suffer" then he went after the rest of the group slamming the door behind him.

The silence around Serena and her mother was heavy despite the muffled gunfire and explosions around the house, which gently shook the room. Serena stared out of the window watching for any other infected or for any human soldiers. They remained like that for a long time, until finally Elena broke through the wall of silence.

"I am sorry Serena…" Elena coughed and her breath rattled as she inhaled. "I abandoned you because of my fear…I shouldn't have…"

"Forget it…" Serena turned around, "If I had stayed with you then I wouldn't have met Hermione, or Momiji, or even possibly Darien…if I had stayed with you my life would have been different and I don't think I would have wanted that."

"But still I'm sorry," Elena said swallowing. Her face was pale and her hair had already begun to turn white at the roots, her eyes were darkening, and her nails were lengthening. "Serena you can't hold this off much….longer."

"Just tell me one thing…" Serena drew nearer to the bed her hand on her gun. "Why me? Why not Sam or one of the others? Why did Abby chose me?"

Elena's dark eyes were flitting around the room, "She told me….she told me you were special…that a….a very powerful person had….said that you….were special…part of something bigger."

Serena stood next to her mother now, she sat down next to her body on the bed. "Serena I can't…"

"I'll protect them," she said looking into her mother's eyes. "Sam and the others, I'll make sure that they're safe and that your family doesn't find them."

Elena smiled weakly at her, "Thank you…I can't….I can't…."

"You can don't worry about it all…." Elena nodded her eyes glancing worriedly out at the window. Serena followed her gaze. "You can feel it can't you, that presence that started growing not long ago," Serena said she swallowed a breath. "Mom someone else very important to me is probably going to die tonight….when you get to the other side…put in the good word for her…she wasn't always such a bitch."

Elena smiled at her again and nodded. "I love you Rena," Elena said grabbing Serena's hand as her eyes darkened completely and went blank, "Don't forget….the lemons." Elena closed her eyes completely and she was still.

Serena felt silent tears fall from her eyes, she took her mother's pulse, it was faint yet rapid. She bowed her head and let her tears fall, then she looked up and inhaled a deep breath. Grabbing a pillow from the other side of the bed she placed it over Elena's face. She pointed the gun at the pillow right as Elena began to stir. "I'm sorry momma," Serena said "I'm sorry."

Four shots rang out against the silence of the bedroom, there was a thud of a gun hitting the floor, and silence again.

Rin flattened herself up against the wall of the main hallway, she carefully stepped over the body of a dead women, taking care not to make much noise as she approached the main foyer. She held her gun at the ready as she glanced around the room for any remaining infected. She could tell that there was someone in the room, she heard the shuffling and rustling of footsteps. She held her gun at arm's length and readied herself, glancing around the corner she saw a young man with blonde hair standing in the middle of the wreckage. He had on a white shirt and dark pants, and a gun holster strapped across his back. Flattening herself back around the wall inhaled a deep breath and then stepped out from behind the corner and was confronted by the blonde vampire's gun.

She didn't say anything as she stared into his bright green eyes, her gun pointed between his eyes. They were silent for a long time before he finally spoke, "You're a hunter?" Rin nodded once not breaking eyes contact with him. "Why do you look familiar?"

Rin shrugged one of her shoulders, "Don't know guess after you've killed so many hunter we all look alike after a while."

"No that's not it," Jadeite started at her searching her face for the answer. They stood in silence for several more seconds before a gunshot broke their isolation. Rin instantly broke away turning and running down the hallway, before disappearing around a corner she looked over her shoulder once at him her hair swirling around her.

"Sir are you alright?"

Jadeite nodded his eyes not moving from where Rin had disappeared, something about the girl had clicked in his mind, her scent, her voice, her face, something about her was familiar to him. "Sir we need to find the Princes." Jadeite nodded, "Yes I think Kusanagi's on this floor, west hallway."

When Rei opened her eyes she was staring up at an elaborately painted ceiling. The room around her was finely decorated and smelled of fresh linens. Rei sat up slowly, her head was throbbing as if she had a hangover, but she knew it was the drugs that they had given her. She rolled off of the couch she was lying on and stood on shaky legs. She grabbed the edge of the couch to steady herself before she began to carefully make her way towards the door.

While she had been asleep she had seen things, things that the drugs were supposed to suppress but hadn't been able to. Her body was still weak from the drugs that were still running through her system, any normal Vampire would still be unconscious but her exposure to spice at strengthened her immune system. She made her way down the long hallway catching herself on furniture as she walked towards the garage. Her feet made silent footsteps upon the carpet.

She turned the corner and faced a dead end; the large white double doors stood closed before her, across them was a large metal bolt. Across both doors was a large circular crest burned into the wood, the crest was familiar however she didn't completely recognize it. Around the blackened wood other symbols had been carved into the wood as well, protective sealing spells. She stepped back, she could sense the dark power radiating from the room despite the protective spells that were carved around the large seal. Despite her curiosity she knew that she had no time to examine the doors. Turning around she went the opposite direction of the hallway and towards the garage where the cars were being held.

Momiji stood staring out at the ocean she could see lightning flashing in the distance illuminating the swirling grey and purple clouds. She turned around to face Hermione, who had yet to move and was staring at her, "Do you really want to fight me Momiji?" Hermione stared at her friend with hard eyes, she was ready to fight but she hoped for the possibility that Momiji could be reasoned with.

Momiji smiled, "I told you I want to test their little theory, which's stronger, the Prophetess who's scared of power, or the fallen warrior who embraced it."

"You haven't embraced it you've allowed it to consume you," Hermione said her eyes narrowing. "I know what Sophia made you do, her 'training', she exploited your gift and convinced you it was all for the greater good."

"The greater good, the greater good is a farce made up by the Hunters Association so that they could justify their actions," Momiji said. "They greater good…there is no greater good Hermione, it's all just a big battlefield and whoever is the strongest wins."

Hermione shook her head, "Oh Momiji Sophia's tainted your mind. Let me help you."

"Help me what? Help me lose my will and my free choice, will you help me see the wonders of Vampires Hermione, see their good side? They don't have a good side." Momiji turned her back to Hermione to watch the lightning again.

"You know that's not true! What about Kusanagi!"

"What about him!" Momiji screamed swinging around to glare at her, "He tried to kill me Hermione, because he was deprived blood he tried to kill me someone he claimed to love. He killed his wife and his children because of hunger and jealously, tell me is that a beast or a man? Your little boy toy will do the same, they're monsters with human skin."

"Isn't that a little hypocritical, your own father is half Vampire which makes you a quarter, if you're really going to scrub the world clean of all of them then in the end you'll have to kill yourself."

"Choosing my own end is better than waiting for someone else to do it," Momiji said. "Once I've ended this tug of war it will be over, Vampires will be eradicated."

"Vampires aren't the only force of evil in this world Momiji, wares, witches, fae, changelings, and humans as well…no race is perfect."

"Yes, but then the virus will take care of all those for me," Momiji said.

"The Virus?"

"That's what mommy programmed it to do, once all the Vampires are gone it will attack the other abnormals who populate the planet. It'll evolve, and since there's no cure there's no way for you to stop it. Doomsday is coming and there's nothing for you to do."

"That's dangerous what if it infects humans?"

"Give my mother some credit Hermione, she may be a mad genius to you but she's still a genius. She made sure that it wouldn't kill normal humans...but then I suppose there are a few of those that could be erased as well."

Hermione shook her head, "You've gone mad Momiji, they've turned you mad."

"No Hermione this world and your new family has turned me mad and for that I am going to kill them."

"Then we have nothing else to talk about do we," Hermione said.

"Actually we never really had anything to talk about," Momiji thrust out her hand and a torrent of blue fire flew at Hermione. Hermione took a step back and put up both of her hands to block the attack with a telekinetic shield. Momiji took another step forward pushing harder, Hermione dug her heels into the ground trying to hold her position. With slow steps Momiji got closer and closer until finally she was right in front of Hermione, she released the fire and then curved her hand under then hit Hermione right in the chest. Hermione flew backwards into a wall and felt a burning on her chest.

"You know what's good about my powers, they aren't as limited as yours," Momiji said holding up her hand.

Hermione gasped for breath, her chest felt like it had been burned, "What the hell was that?"

"I guess it doesn't feel good to have three thousand volts of electricity shot into you huh," Momiji smiled, "I've gotten a lot stronger Hermione, and I've acquired a lot of new powers." Hermione blinked and suddenly Momiji was besides her. Momiji punched her again and Hermione was sent flying into another wall, cracking it as she hit. Hermione blinked again and Momiji was instantaneously in front of her grabbing her hair and throwing her across the garden.

Hermione pushed herself up on her hands, "Mommy made sure that I would be ready for you two, she knew Serena turning into one of those creatures and she knew that you would be training too, so she gave me the power to be on equal footing with the two of you."

Hermione's head was bent over and her hair was hiding her face. "What Hermione nothing to say? God and here I thought you used to be interesting, seems like I'm just going to have finish this and wait for Serena's witty banter." She stepped over a garden hedge and stood in front of Hermione. "Come on now don't make me pick you up, that would just be sad."

When Hermione didn't move Momiji sighed and reached down to grab her by the collar of her shirt. She pulled her up, "Come on!" Touching was a mistake however, when Hermione looked up at Momiji her eyes were pure white, Hermione reached out and put both hands on either side of Momiji's head.

"I may not be able to beat you hand to hand….but my psychic abilities are twenty times your own, especially now," Hermione's voice was deep and radiated with power, it echoed around them and shook the ground.

Momiji grabbed her head and screamed in pain, "Stop it." If felt like Hermione was inside of her brain clawing her way through all her memories and thoughts. "Get out," Momiji yelled trying to pry Hermione's hands away from her head.

"I don't want to hurt you Momiji, I'm trying to help you!" the sound of her voice inside of Momiji's mind made her head feel like it was about to explode. "Don't fight me!"

Momiji yelled again, she was reliving all her memories in seconds as Hermione searched through her consciousness. "Get out!" Concentrating Momiji wrapped her hands around Hermione's throat and began to squeeze.

"Momiji….." Hermione gasped trying to breathe, felt the crushing power of Momiji's grasp, she couldn't breathe anymore and her power was failing due to her lack of oxygen. She began to scratch of Momiji's face attempting to get her to let go her legs began to give out underneath her. She sunk to her knees with Momiji still grasping her neck, "Mo….iji….I…" She looked into Momiji's eyes, they were glazed over with rage and hatred. Hermione felt the cold stone against her back and Momiji's weight on top of her as the edges of her vision began to blacken. She looked into Momiji's green eyes once more and tried to send a mental plea to her, but it was no use Momiji's rage was blocking her from thinking rationally. Hermione gasped once more and closed her eyes.
