SailorStar9: After getting Chapter 18 out, this is Chapter 19 and the second last chapter of this fic. (Sighs) Guys and girls, is it too hard for you to leave a review, instead of just putting this fic up on your favorited list and story alerts?

Disclaimers: I own nothing, except for the plot bunny and the main pairing.

Chapter 19: Confrontation

"What about Setsuna?" Minako asked, the remaining Senshi having gathered in Rei's Shrine for a war council once they discovered Ami was missing.

"I will trap Pluto and seize the Time Keys." Usagi replied. "Then I will move against the dimension the weakling is hiding in. Anyone who is an ally to that damned bitch and his bastard of a lover is an enemy of the White Moon In the meantime, we will denounce to the Outers that the Mercury wretch and her bastard are traitors to the White Moon."

It had taken them a week, but the Inner Senshi managed to secure one of Pluto's Time Keys and arrived outside the Fairy Tail Guild.

Usagi had made it clear. This was a mission of the utmost importance. The Inner Senshi were to set their demands down upon the former Mercury Senshi. Failure to comply would result in a declaration of war upon Fairy Tail.

"Intruders." Natsu's nose sniffed the air. "And they're not friendly." The Fire Dragon Slayer was about to bolt for the gate when a blast of fire burnt through the wooden doors, the four Inner Senshi standing outside triumphantly, a fire snake behind the Martian Senshi.

"Guys, back down." Ami stood her ground. "No one interferes. I'm the one they want."

"Venus Love and Beauty Shock!" Venus wasted no time in releasing her attack, not giving Ami any chance to transform.

"Ice Dungeon Wave!" Ami slammed her hands into the ground, sending four ice blocks towards the four Inner Senshi.

"Mars Flame Sniper!" Mars countered the ice spike with her fire arrow.

"Aeon Mercury Power!" Ami took the chance to transform. "Fateful Blizzard!" she unleashed her ice storm at her former comrades. "Don't you guys get it?" she railed at the fallen Senshi. "I'm through with the White Moon!"

"I'm sorry, Mercury." Jupiter looked apologetic. "But you don't have a choice."

"And since when did I have a choice in my life when it involves the White Moon?" Mercury glared. "I had to suffer since day one because of the decisions that the Queen made. The moment I was out of the White Moon's grasp, I could finally take control of my life, and if you think I am just going to let you take me back to that hell, to let Usagi simply take my powers without questioning, you are mistaken. Ice Sword." She conjured up three ice blades, their business ends hovering over the Senshi's necks. "Leave and never come back." She growled and reversed her transformation and turned to leave.

"Don't even dare." Natsu warned, a flaming fist was clocked in front of Mars' face after Mercury dispelled her swords, the Fire Senshi readying another attack.

"The same goes for the rest of you." Gray agreed, the tip of his 'Ice Make: Death Scythe' rested against Venus' neck and Erza's 'Lightning Empress Armor' spear was pointed directly in front of Jupiter.

"We have your back, Ami." Lucy assured.

"Yeah, you take on one of us, you mess with the rest of us." Elfman concurred.

"While I appreciate the assist, guys." Ami sighed. "You know I had this under wraps."

"We know." Mirajane grinned.

"Don't make me repeat myself." Ami glared at the defeated Senshi. "Leave and never come back. I would have gone back if this hadn't happened. I was willing to forgive Usagi for her past transgressions. But now that she had forced my hand by sending the three of you here, you can create Crystal Tokyo without me or my powers around."

"Wait," Venus got to her feet. "What do you mean 'past transgressions'?"

"What, she didn't tell you?" Ami snapped, her voice as cold as her element. "I'll never forgive her for what she tried to do with Urawa!"

"What?" Jupiter blinked. It wasn't often that the dirty laundry of the White Moon was aired.

"She thought I didn't know." Ami spat. "When she approached Urawa to convince him to be with a 'real woman' like her and not some 'weak, useless bookworm' like me? Five months ago, I got a letter from Urawa and he told me exactly why he never contracted me after Beryl." Gray was instantly by the trembling water mage's side as she continued her rant. "She… She… Usagi raped him! She drugged him, and forced him to have sex with her! And when he broke free, she tried to get him to go out with her based on the fact the two of them had sex! She tried to blackmail him, telling him she'd spread to the whole neighborhood how he took advantage of her, and refused to take responsibility. How she'd tell me he raped her, and ruin any chance he had with me... And all because she wanted me to feel as bad she as did when Mamoru was possessed by Metallia! Well, he saw through Usagi, he told me himself. And I believe him because I know her. I know who Usagi was, and, if I hadn't blinded myself, I would have seen it coming, especially when none of you battled an eyelid when Usagi cheated on Mamoru with Seiya!"

It was at this time Ami broke down, her rage leaving her, in tears.

Slowly, Gray wrapped his arms around his water goddess, offering comfort.

Defeated and speechless, the other Senshi departed silently, knowing that all of Ami's accusations held true.

SailorStar9: Now that's done, read and review.
