Hey. Um, I don't own Sailor Moon, or anything. No need to sue me. Here is part eight. Read, now. Okay? hee hee. Yet Another Sailor Moon Story Part VIII Tuxedo held Usagi in the cave. It had been a few days since Usagi had came back to him. There was dried blood on his face, on his pants, yet Usagi curled against him. She felt safe. Mamo would save her. "Well, looks like I found some sitting ducks!!! Ha, ha, prepare to die," called Black Lady, lunging at the Usagi and Tuxedo Kamen with her NegaMoon Rod. "ChibiUsa, NO! Wake up, it's us!" "Betrayer, you shall die!!" She aimed her rod at Usagi, who quickly dodged out of the way, "Stop it, ChibiUsa. You'll regret this when it's over!!" "I'll only regret being able to kill you just once." She aimed the rod at Usagi again, who tried to dodge, but not fast enough, causing some of her hair to burn up. "Stop it, you witch," came Tuxedo's voice, as he threw a rose at Black Lady. "Ooh, you cut my face. You will pay!!" Tuxedo smirked at that. She was clearly younger than him. Wouldn't be too hard to defeat. He advanced towards her, cane in hand, yet she noticed that, and threw a small dagger at Tuxedo, catching him off guard, ripping up shoulder. He let out a small cry of pain, while tearing the dagger from his shoulder, "You bitch," he cursed her. Taking his cane, which had magically melded back in one piece, he swung it hard in her direction, knocking the air out of her, as it whammed into her stomach. She lay on the ground a moment, breathing deeply, trying to recover from the pain, and the shock. She pulled herself up to her knees, shaking unsteadily, and aimed her rod at Usagi, "You *gasp will both *gasp pay *gasp for that." She aimed the rod at Usagi, and whispered an evil chant. Nega magic flew from the rod, dark purplish light, polluted with NegaMoon signs. Before she could react, to move away, the beams hit Usagi, burning her, as she screamed in pain. She fell to the ground. "USAKO, NOOO!!!" He limped to her side, and reached for her hand, "Usako. You can't leave me. Oh, Usagi." She looked up slowly, burns covering her face, "I love you, Mamo. You're the only one I ever truly cared for. Promise, promise you won't forget me. Do not give up. Stay strong, and have a little faith," she spoke the words slowly, as if speaking them caused her much pain, both physically and emotionally, "no matter what," she whispered, and her eyes shut, as she heaved one last breath. "Usako, NO!!" He gripped her hand, lovingly, and his tears flew anew. "Usagi, you can't leave me, no. You can't." He picked up a single rose, in which he lay upon her unmoving chest. He wiped another tear from his eyes, and ran his fingers lightly over her face. he silently vowed himself, He kissed her now shoulder length hair, and moved her bangs from her closed eyes, so he could see her face clearer, when suddenly, her body turned to ashes, leaving only the silver emperyium crystal, and her tiara. He stood up to see Black Lady awaiting him, simpering at the scene before her, "Looks like your Princess is dead. Guess your love wasn't strong enough to save her." Tuxedo grit his teeth together, "I will defeat you, you monster. I am no longer afraid." A single tear fell from his eye, shining brightly in the light of the torch Black Lady had brought. "Well you should be, ha!" She held up her NegaMoon rod, aiming it at Tuxedo Kamen, who had just turned into Prince Endymioun. "Not yet," he called, his tears now drying. He reached into his pocket, retrieving the five tiaras and a crystal, "Sailor Senshi, help me defeat her!" Smoke emerged from each tiara, causing the two people to cough and cover their eyes and mouth, the smoke filled the area in dark grey swirls, making vision near impossible in the darkness, soon all was grey. They stood, fanning the air with their hands when a voice broke out, "We will help you, Endymioun. The time has come." He blinked a few times, not believing the view in front of him. Princess Serenity, and her Sailor Senshi stood before him, each prepared for battle. They looked different, though, somehow. It was then he noticed that each female warrior's hair was her respective color. Mercury with lighter blue hair, Mars' with a red hue to it, Jupiter's with a greenish tint, and Venus' remained the same. "Thank goodness my respective color is orangy-yellow. I don't know what I would do if it turned purple or something," she said, in make- believe horror. And then there was Serenity, who's hair shined a glossy near white color. She smiled at him, her teeth, pearly white, her face, shining with love. "We will defeat her," she said, majestically, with a hint of kindness in her voice, "In the name of the moon, we shall have peace." Endymioun brought forth the crystal, which rose from his hand, into the air. As he stared, each senshi put a translucent hand upon the crystal, which began to glow. Black Lady recovered from the shock of seeing the senshi appear from nowhere. She held her rod in the air, aimed at the senshi and Endymioun, and let out a cry, "I command the forces of evil to help me defeat these brats!!" Dark energy flew from the rod, once more, heading for the six people. As the energy flew near, five cries were released into the night, "Mercury Star Power!" "Mars Star Power!" "Jupiter Star Power!" "Venus Star Power!" "Moon Crystal Power!" Endymioun vented the powers with one final cry, "UNITE!" Their energy, linked, flew towards Black Lady, and she screamed in rage. She dropped the Dark rod, and reached for her dagger. Dodging the beams of energy, she lunged towards the group, "I've killed you once, and I'll do it again!!" She threatened, and lunged at Endymioun, dagger raised. It dug into his chest, and his eyes bulged. Black Lady removed the dagger, causing blood to dye his uniform. It stained his clothes and skin, blood everywhere. He fell to the ground, landing with a thud, and began breathing rapidly. "Endymioun, no!!" Came Serenity's voice, breaking into the night, "You can not die. You musn't. I need you. Oh Endymioun." Tears trickled from her face, landing on Endymioun's body, "You can not," she whispered. He began breathing faster, and faster. Until he gasped one last breath, and lay motionless on the ground, in a pool of his own blood. "ENDYMIOUN, NO!!!" Her voice shattered the darkness. Wiseman appeared from behind the group. He noticed Endymioun, lying dead, by the side of transparent senshi, and Princess Serenity, her long white dress, dyed in Endymioun's blood as she kneeled in it, holding his hand, crying softly. Wiseman laughed, evily, causing everyone to look up, astounded by his presence, "Looks like old Princy boy is dead," he chuckled at his words. "No," Serenity stood up, looking calm and majestic, her tears dried, she spoke once more, "I will defeat you, Wiseman, in the name of the Moon." The crystal rose in the air from her palm, and she recited the words that were so power- ful, so powerful indeed, that it had killed her mother, a thousand years before, for it used up so much energy, "COSMIC MOON POWER!!" Bright light covered the area, bright yellow light, filled with crescent moon insignia and specs of glitter. Wiseman's screams could be heard, and when the light faded away, Wiseman lay dead, in a heap on the ground. Serenity smiled weakly, before collapsing onto the ground, with ChibiUsa, Endymioun, and the senshi. They lay dead, not a life- form stirred. End Part VIII I'll add an epilogue, which is already done, because I started adding on to this story, the I decided to just stop here, and make the rest an epilogue. Seeya, Chibi-Mercury
