Kiley Stoll has her half-brother Luke work on her sword skills with her. Like Rowen, she had always seen the need to train the mind and the body, and she knew she would need to get her body into shape to be a proper senshi. She went running every morning, followed by swimming for an hour, then she cleaned up and went to eat breakfast. Played a few rounds of Risk with Ethan Nakamura, whom was a surprisingly strong opponent, got in some sword practice one-on-one with Luke. Did an hour of push up, sit ups, and other strength building exercises. Then she went through an hour of agility training. The other Hermes campers thought she was crazy, her full blooded bros knew why she was working so hard though.
Travis and Connor were working on stealth techniques with her, who better than thieves to teach stealth, and they always managed to smuggle in all sorts of stuff. They taught her how to take out security systems and other things, just in case. They didn't know what she may have to do as a senshi, but they knew they wanted their little sister prepared for anything that could possibly come her way.
Kazuki Residence:
" Luna, do you think she'll be okay? " Artemis asks.
" I really wish I knew, Artemis. Maybe she can finally be happy in this life. I do know that she was never truly happy with Mamoru. She only stayed with him for the girls. " Luna says.
" The very same ones that betrayed her and killed, before which they killed us so we couldn't warn her. " Artemis says, he could still remember that fight, he had tried to hold them off so Luna could escape only to have Mamoru cut down Luna, then he had really been on the defensive.
Flashback:
" Luna, run, warn Usagi, now! " Artemis cries out as he gets between Luna and the traitorous Inner Scouts, they had overheard them talking at Rei's shrine and had taken off fast, but apparently the Data Computer had alerted the traitors to their presence.
The next thing Artemis knew, even as he was dodging every magical attack thrown at him was hearing Luna scream and then being cut off suddenly. Apprehension fills the white cat and he knew Mamoru had entered the picture, the damn Terran Prince had killed his mate and now Artemis knew his time was extremely short. " You will all get yours, traitors never prosper for long, if Usagi doesn't kill you all then the Outer Court Guard will and I hope Uranus castrates you, Mamoru. " Artemis hisses and takes off between the legs of Sailor Mercury, and immediately leaps into a sewer grate and takes off running.
He knew that he wouldn't escape but maybe he could keep the occupied long enough for the Queens to sense what their daughters were doing. Or, his most fervent hope, to get someplace where he could send word of this to Mau and then arrange for his memories to be sent to Usagi at the right time so he and Luna would be reborn as well. He blinks when he sees someone in the darkness, " Who are you? " Artemis demands.
" I am Kale, Warrior of Winter, Warlord of Corruption. "
" Usagi has mentioned you, please I need to speak with Lady Kayura, quickly. " Artemis says, he was hoping Kale's presence would throw off Mercury's computer long enough.
When Kayura appears Artemis sighs in relief, " Do you know how to contact Planet Mau? "
" I do, why do you ask, Venusian Guardian? "
" The Inner Court is planning a coup and I need record of it to get to Mau and I need someone to arrange for Luna and I to be reborn with Usagi, so we can find her again and hopefully protect her from her traitorous Inner Court. Tuxedo Kamen just killed Luna and I'm on the run from them now. " Artemis says.
Kayura's eyes widen, " Usagi is currently linked up with Ryo, as the guys are facing a particularly tough opponent. I wish I could save you, honorable guardian, but you can give me your memories and I will send them on to Mau, and then I will also make sure you two and White Blaze get back to your true places when the time is right. I will have you all be reborn at the proper times, I promise, because the Ronins will all most likely be synced up with Usagi we will be losing them all. I promise you that we Seasonals will defend the Mortal Realm in their stead. Keeping everyone safe until their return. "
Artemis bows, " Thank you, Lady Kayura, Kale. I know Usagi will have herself reborn away from all of her scouts so that the Outers will be able to keep an eye on the Inners. "
With that Artemis gives Kayura his memories and then opens up a link so that his death would be known about on Mau as well, then he runs on, knowing that his time was coming but he would not go down without a fight. He would make sure that he had them sufficiently weakened for the Outers to take down, even Mamoru. He reemerges in downtown Tokyo and dodges the soon incoming magical attacks and those stupid roses. When he manages to make them all hit each other he smirks. " You bitches will get yours, I guarantee it! " Artemis snaps and dodges the love chain with ease and it ends up nailing Jupiter.
" Damn cat, hold still! " Mars shouts out. Artemis just shakes his head and dodges the downward thrust of a sword and then leaps up and scratches Mamoru's face before leaping down behind him just in time for Mamoru to get nailed with a Flame Sniper attack.
While Mamoru curses Artemis is already on the move, he'd seen enough senshi fights to know that a moving target was harder for them to nail. He also decides that the Mercury Data Computer needed to be taken out, oh it would get repaired but not fast enough for them to use it against Usagi. He times it perfectly and a Crescent Beam was what took it out, " Damn you, Artemis, you will pay for this! " Venus screams at him.
Artemis looks at her in disgust, " I know I won't live through this, but I will put up one helluva fight."
The white feline was off and moving again, missing a thunder clap zap and a barrage of roses. By now they were all starting to feel tired and Artemis was working on pure desperation and the desire to make sure they paid with their lives for their crimes. He had to weaken Mamoru much more and he pulls up an ability that he hadn't used in centuries. One bite from him would leave Mamoru very weak, he knew that he had the girls as weakened as he could get them and launches at Mamoru, sinking his teeth into a very tender spot. Mamoru howls in agony and Artemis clamps down tighter, pouring every ounce of power into this and then he lets go and leaps at Sailor Mars only to get cut down by, " Crescent Beam Smash! "
In the sewer tunnel where Artemis had left Kayura and Kale, Kayura reels back, " Oh, Artemis, you brave soul, you risked everything, just to give the Outers a fighting chance. I promise you, your sacrifice will not be forgotten or in vain. "
" What happened? " Kale asks.
Kayura shows him and Kale curses, " Damn cat was a fine warrior, he even made it so the Outers would be able to kill Mamoru, Tuxedo Kamen. "
Kayura gasps again, " They've found her and have her trapped. The guys have just given their powers to Ryo. If they don't finish this soon then the Mortal Realm is doomed. "
" Usagi is a warrior, she'll hold on to see her Outers kill the traitors and for the guys to finish the fight, but they will go with her. They'll all feel the killing blow, not even Rowen will be able to survive it, though he is the Warrior of Life. " Kale says, he'd gained a lot of respect for the blue haired Ronin. Kayura screams when she feels all six lives end.
Sekmet and Dais sought them out when they felt the Ronins die. They found Kayura chanting and sobbing, adding onto Usagi's last wish, and doing other things even through her grief. She protected the guys and Usagi's families, she did as Artemis had requested and she did one more thing. Kayura makes certain all the Ronins will be reborn with the power necessary to defend themselves with and without armor, plus she makes sure they will be reborn near the Moon Princess, she would not let Usagi be without loyal and true protectors. Plus, she also made it so the staff would alert her when they were reborn and show her where.
End Flashback:
Artemis shudders, " We can't allow the same thing to happen again. She has suffered more than enough because of her mother. "
" I agree whole heartedly, Artemis, we will not allow her to suffer like that again. " Luna says.
Celeste and Écologiques just look at the cats though they were quite used to strange things happening around them. Écologiques just wished that Zach would return to play.
Manhattan:
People everywhere stop when they hear a bloodcurdling scream of agony come from somewhere.
600th Floor, Empire State Building, Mt. Olympus:
" Hell yeah, that's what I'm talking about. That Uranus chick is all right in my book, too damn bad she isn't one of my daughters. " Ares says as he watches her slowly castrate Tuxedo Kamen with said rusty butter knife, Fighter holding him down along with the karpoi that had caught up.
Eris is cackling madly at this, relishing in his screams of pain. The furies were licking their lips and grinning evilly. Everyone else on Mt. Olympus is cheering on what Sailor Uranus was doing to Mamoru. Apollo and Hermes both resolving to make sure he got a nasty infection, and Demeter was still going to keep the karpoi tight on him. It would serve the self-serving bastard right.
