~Emerald Eyes~ ~(PG) Chapter 7 By Callisto~ "Revenge" "Hi, Uh, Makoto-chan. Yeah, this is Shin, Uh, Hi." Makoto laughed into the phone. " You sound a little nervous. Is something wrong?" "No, uh, I mean... I don?t know. What I wanted to ask you was, would you like to come over for breakfast?" "Sure." Mako answered happily. "I?ll come right over." "Oh, bring the puppy too!" Shin said. "Ok, Bye bye!" "Bye" * * * * * * "Hi!" "Hi!" Mako walked inside holding the puppy in her hands. "Did you name her yet?" Shin asked petting her. "No, not yet." "Well we'd better think of one!" Shin said, petting the puppy happily. Mako sat down on the couch and put the puppy on the floor, causing Shin?s cat to jump up, hiss and bolt down the hallway. They ate breakfast and talked and talked and talked. For two and a half hours they sat and talked about everything they could think of. They named Mako?s puppy Kina and talked about Shin?s becoming a Vet. They talked about Shin?s family, and how he had moved to Tokyo. They talked about Mako?s family and childhood, and about her friends. They laughed as Mako told him stories about Usagi, Rei and Minako. Two and a half hours later Mako looked at her watch and stood up. "I?ve got to go! I always eat lunch with Usagi and everyone every Sunday. I should be meeting them at the Crown Fruit?s parlor right now!" "I?ll walk over with you." Shin said, smiling. "Ok." Mako smiled back as she picked up Kina, and they walked out the door. * * * * * * The door to the parlor slid open and Mako and Shin walked in together. They walked to the booth where Usagi and the girls were sitting. "Hi, guys!" Mako said happily. They all immediately turned around and gawked at the shocking thing they saw. "Bye, Makoto." Shin said and squeezed her hand one last time before letting it go and turning to leave. "Bye, Shin-chan!" Mako said happily as she watched him leave, and then turned back to the shocked group. They sat silent with their mouths wide open. "M-Makoto!?!" Usagi gasped finally. "Shin-Chan!?!" Rei and Minako cried in unison. Mako smiled innocently and giggled. "Yea!" "But, Mako-chan! Shin loves me!" Minako cried, almost in tears. "No he loves me!" Rei yelled back. The two began to scream at each other, but no one paid much attention. "Mako-chan? I thought you hated Shin-san. He was always teasing you, and you were always mad at him..." she trailed off, her voice becoming dreamy. "Just like me and Mamo-chan at first..." "Yea... You know what, Usagi-chan? He bought me a puppy!" Mako said just as dreamily. The two of them sat staring off into space, smiling happily as Rei and Minako Screamed in the background and Ami sat reading a book across the table. * * * * * * Six months Later "Mako-chan? Mako-chan?" The voice was hazy and quiet at first, but soon became clear, and familiar. "Shin-chan..." Mako gasped as she opened her eyes to see Shin sitting over her. "Where are we?" "In your living room. I had to carry you home. What happened, Makoto?" Shin asked her, sounding very concerned and worried. She had to tell him. They had been getting worse and worse lately. They had stopped for a while, and Mako had decided it was OK not to tell anyone, but they had come back, worse than before. Walking home with Shin, a vision of the little girl appeared in her mind once more. The pain of the little girl had become so excruciating to Makoto that it had caused her to faint. All of the pain that the little girl went through seemed to go through Makoto, and she couldn?t take it. "Oh, Shin-chan!" She cried as she sat up and hugged him. Tears began to fall from her eyes. "A little over six months ago, I began to have these weird daydreams. They always start the same. I am sitting on the floor in my living room watching my mother. Then it changes, and I?m sitting in the chair looking at a little girl who is sitting on the floor. She is happy, but soon a dark cloud swirls over her and... and..." She couldn?t tell him about her being a senshi. She couldn?t tell him. "Then she begins to cry, and scream for her mommy to save her. I want to help her. I try, but I can?t! I can?t get those eyes out of my mind! Those sad, piercing emerald eyes! They hurt me inside. It?s as if I go through all of the pain that the little girl is going through!" She collapsed in Shin?s arms, and cried and cried. She couldn?t act strong anymore. She was too tired, too weak. She never had to act strong around Shin, because she knew that it made no difference to him. "Makoto..." He said soothingly. He didn?t know what to do to help her. The situation hit him close to home, but he didn?t know what to do in either case. "Makoto, do you want to go for a walk?" She looked up at him with wet eyes, and nodded. It was late afternoon. The sun was not yet setting, but the sky gave off a bright and warm glow. As they walked to the park, Makoto began to feel better. Shin?s comfort meant everything to her. Suddenly, in a flash, the warmth of the afternoon was gone, and a chill rushed down Mako?s back. It felt like ice had shot through her veins. She stopped abruptly, surprising Shin. "Let?s go over here..." She said pulling his arm in the opposite direction. She knew something was there. She could feel its presence, dark and cold. As they turned the corner she ducked under a tree and went around the bush. "Where are we going?" Shin asked her, bewildered. "I don?t know." She answered simply. Mako made her way through a bush, stepped into a clearing and screamed at what she saw. "Makoto!" Shin cried as he ran in after her. He made his way into the clearing and saw Makoto stooping on the ground near someone. He came closer and saw that it was a woman, collapsed on the ground. Her skin was a sickly pale white and she wore a long coal black gown. "Is she all right?" Shin inquired. Mako looked up at him with a shocked expression on her face. "Feel her arm." Shin put his hand on her forearm and quickly pulled it back. "It's like ice!" "I know. We have to do something!" Mako said. She turned as Shin began to examine her for injuries and flipped on her communicator. "Usagi-chan?" She said as Usagi answered it. "Come to the clearing in the far side of the Park. Bring everyone. The outer senshi as well. Dominishi has come back!" "What?" Mako-chan, be careful. We?ll be there as fast as we can!" Usagi cried as she heard the horrible news. "Be careful!" Suddenly the woman opened her eyes. They were as dark and cold as the rest of her. She sat up and looked at Makoto who gasped in horror. "Princess Jupiter." She hissed in an icy tone. "I have found you once again. Now I will repay you for my suffering and misery!" She began do glow and iridescent blue and rose up into the air. Makoto jumped up in shock and bewilderment. "What?s going on!" Shin cried. The icy woman gathered a ball of energy between her hands and blasted it at Makoto, sending her flying onto the ground. "Makoto!" Shin yelled, and ran to her. Makoto was hit again as she tried to stand up. "I will have my revenge upon you and all of your friends! I never forgot what you did to me that day a thousand years ago! The memory of it has tortured me for so long. Trapped in the center of this pitiful excuse for a planet when I should have been ruling the galaxy! I had everything! Power, glory, everything! That weakling Queen Serenity couldn?t stop me! Nothing could have stopped me! You, you and those others took it from me! Did you think I would forget? Did you think I was gone for good! You foolish senshi know nothing! Serenity is gone, and now its just us... the sailor senshi versus Dominishi. You will not defeat me again!!" She continued to blast at Makoto who now lay crumpled on the ground. Shin had tried to reach her, but as he would get close, the blast would knock him a way. Now, as the blasting stopped for a moment, Shin rushed to her side. "Makoto...Makoto!" He cried. He turned, his eyes filled with hatred toward Dominishi. Mako slowly rose to her feet," Jupiter Crystal Power, Make up!" She cried as she transformed into Sailor Jupiter. "You do not disappoint Jupiter." Dominishi cackled, "But soon I will have you at my mercy" "Makoto. You?re the green warrior I?ve been searching for!" Shin cried in delight and relief. "Sapphire Heishi, Power!" He cried. Before her eyes, Shin transformed into a Senshi, wearing a tuxedo like Tuxedo Mask "Shin-chan?" Mako gasped. "Princess Jupiter. Now I will have my revenge... DIE!!!" She shrieked and let a huge energy bolt out of her hands strait towards Makoto, but Shin dashed in front of her, shielding her from the death blow. "Shin-chan. Get out of the way! She?ll kill you!" Mako cried, but it was too late. Mako screamed as she watched Shin get hit by the blast and collapse on the ground in front of her, badly wounded. "Shin-chan! Shin-chan!" Mako yelled, enraged and kneeling down on the ground beside Shin. "Ah. Perhaps I have been wasting my energy on the wrong person. Why should I kill you so soon, when I can make you suffer as much as you made me!" She screamed and sent another bolt towards Shin. "Uranus World Shaking!" A voice came from inside the bushes, and a huge yellow blast hit Dominishi?s blast, stopping it. "Ah. I knew you would come!" Dominishi sneered. "Invited by a new age, I am Sailor Uranus. Acting In Beauty." Uranus said as she appeared. "Invited by a new age. I am Sailor Neptune. Acting in elegance." Neptune appeared beside her. "Invited by a new age. I am sailor Pluto. Acting in mystery." Pluto appeared as well. "You will be punished!" Saturn cried, appearing beside Pluto. The inner senshi,including Tuxedo Mask, then appeared on the other side of the clearing. "For Love and Justice I am the Sailor suited Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon! In the name of the moon," "In the name of Mercury!" "In the name of Mars!" "In the name of Venus!" "And in the name of Jupiter!" Mako cried as she slowly stood up. "We will punish You!" "I?m glad you came, you pitiful little fools!" Dominishi laughed. "Now I will repay you for for my suffering!" "Not today! Venus, Love and Beauty shock!" Venus cried. Dominishi just laughed and blocked the hit with her energy field. "Mars, Flame sniper!" Rei?s fire was useless against the icy woman. She held her icy hand you and killed the flames before they ever reached her. "Mercury, Aqua Rhapsody!" "Dead, Scream!" "World Shaking!" "Deep Submerge!" "Jupiter, Oak Evolution!" "Starlight, Honeymoon Kiss!" Attack after attack failing miserably. They couldn?t get through to her. "Don?t you understand?" She cackled. "You cannot defeat me again!" With that she held her arms together and built up a colossal ball of her blue energy. She released it with an explosive crash. The energy swept out, leveling half of the forest, and everything else it came into contact with. The Senshi flew to the ground, with cries of pain and anguish as the attack burned their skin and shredded their outfits. One by one they got to their feet despite the pain, soon everyone of them standing tall, ready for another round. "You are stubborn fools!" Dominishi cried. "But not for long! Finally I will have my revenge upon you for destroying my life. You will all pay! You will pay for my suffering. Now you will all DIE!!!" She screamed and released the death blast, twice as large as the first. Sailor Saturn quickly held up her glade, prepared this time. "Silent Wall!" She cried weakly. Immediately a huge force field sprung up, protecting the Senshi from the blast. The death blast hit the force field and reflected back to Dominishi, who shrieked in anger and pain, and fell to the ground. "You obnoxious little brat!" She hissed. She attempted to raise above the ground again, but could only make it about three feet up. "You will all Die!" "You are the one who will pay!" Shin cried, rage filled his eyes as he thought of the pain she had caused everyone. "Sapphire Shock!" He brought his hand together, then pulled them apart and tiny blue glass needles flew from the tips of his fingers, hitting Dominishi. She shrieked once more, falling back to the ground. "Jupiter, Oak evolution!" Tears of rage filled Mako?s eyes as the attack hit Dominishi, who flew back. "Dominishi! You destroyed our world on the moon once before, but you will not destroy our world here! For the moon, for justice, for my friends for Queen Serenity, and for our world, I will punish you! STARLIGHT HONEYMOON KISS!!" Sailor Moon cried as she hit Dominishi with her death blow. A hysterical shriek of pain, anger and anguish rose up from Dominishi as she was vanquished to the center of the earth once more. "You will all pay! You may have won another battle, but I will win the war! It was only by your foolish luck that we met before my powers were fully recovered! I will regain my power. I will escape again! On that day, you will all know the pain and suffering you have placed upon me. I will have my revenge!" Her icy voice dissipated as she sank back below the surface where she had come up from. The senshi slumped to the ground of the now silent forest. Weak and hurt they sat on the forest floor dreading the day that Dominishi would inevitably return, breaking the silence of the forest.
