Chapter 12: Combat of the Hearts The Scouts stared, thunderstruck by the sight of their old friend. He looked very different, his long black hair hung freely around his head and down his back, the same length as Mina's. His clothes were in shreds, and his arms and chest were covered in scars. His head hung forward, blocking his eyes from view, but a small trickle of blood was dripping from his forehead. Artemis ran forward, followed by Jedite and a Jupiter mercenary, Seifer.
"Koaru, Jesus, are you all right?" Artemis asked as he approached, a bubbling pit in his stomach, filled with guilt. Koaru lifted his head, and Artemis skidded to a stop. "Koaru...what, what did he-" Artemis' words were cut short by Koaru rushing forward and striking him in the face. Artemis flipped backwards from the force, and Koaru kicked him in the back, sending him clear across the stadium. Jedite and Seifer both drew their swords and attacked. Koaru flowed with their attacks, and in a quick reversal, sent them both crashing into the wall behind him.
"What is he doing?" Sailor Mars asked as she watched Koaru easily beat the three men. Sailors Venus and Jupiter both ran at him, ready to stop him. "No, wait!!" Sailor Mercury yelled, and Sailor Mars ran after them. "Jupiter Thunder...Crash!" "Venus Crescent Beam Smash!" Both attacks connected with Koaru, and they saw him fly out of the resulting dust cloud. He skidded backwards, then charged them with an incredible speed. "Mars Fire Wall...Defend!" Sailor Mars' newly mastered attack caused a fifty foot wall of fire to erupt between them and Koaru, blocking him. Amy sighed, feeling relief, then gasped as Koaru shot through the wall like it wasn't there. That was when they saw his eyes; both had turned storm blue, and in the pupils was a black a silver ying-yang. Also, the force of Jupiter and Venus' attacks had blasted his shirt off, and they saw that on his left shoulder was a mark: it was an inverted pentagram with a red eye in the center, the pupil a black slit, like a demon's eye. As they watched, from each point of the pentagram (five pointed star) a black rope like mark spread away from the point and snaked around his body, then stopped. The mark stopped just above his elbow, halfway up his neck, and a quarter the way across his upper and lower back and chest.
Queen Serenity looked down from where she sat, and gasped when she saw the mark and Koaru's shoulder. Mina's mother, Queen Venus (I don't wanna make up new names ^_^ sorry) ran over to her, and asked what was wrong. "Koaru...Koaru has a Shadow Scar."
"AAAAhhhhhhhhh!!!!" Sailor Jupiter screamed as Koaru threw a handful of fire at her. Sailor Moon leapt forward, knocking Lita out of the way. "I thought that I was the only one with fire power." Sailor Mars said, slightly irritated. Koaru gathered energy into his hands. "You ain't seen nothing yet." he said, his voice a slight growl. "Tritus Pyro Stream!" he slammed his hands onto the ground, and a spiral beam of fire shot at the Scouts. The five split up, and Koaru ran after them, one at a time. First off he chased Sailor Venus, who turned and shot her Beam Smash at him, which he ducked under and, being five feet away now, palm struck her in the center of her chest, knocking the wind out of her and, at the same time, causing her to cough out some blood. She was still falling as Koaru ran past her, bearing down on Sailor Mars, who was ready and waiting. "Mars Fire Wall...Defend!" she said, only this time she had the wall erupt in a straight line, right where Koaru was running. The flames swallowed him, and Raye sighed in relief, then choked since she couldn't inhale. Koaru had accelerated so quickly that she hadn't noticed him zip behind her and grab her neck. "Raye!" Sailor Moon shouted as she watched Koaru strangle her from behind. She ran at him, and grabbed her tiara. "Moon...Tiara...Magic!" She threw it straight at him, and struck him dead center, knocking him away from Sailor Mars, who collapsed to the ground. He got back his feet and charged at Sailor Moon, who assumed a Tai Jutsu stance he had taught her. They then started a super-sonic exchange of blows, most of which Serena was able to block. "You fool," Koaru said as they struck at each other, "I taught you that technique, so I know that to stop you, I need to do this!" he ducked down under Serena's punch, spun around, and kicked her feet out from under her, and she landed hard on her ass. He then raised his foot above his head, ready to execute an Axe Kick to her throat. As his foot soared down, he was blasted off his feet by a lightning sphere. "Get away from her!" Sailor Jupiter shouted as she ran forward, charging another Thunder Crash in her antenna. Koaru smiled, "This one will die."
Sailor Mercury watched the battle from the side, not moving, tears of sorrow flowing down her face. She watched Koaru strike down Mina, strangle Raye, overwhelm Serena, and now she watched as he leapt above Lita and blasted her with a blue bolt of lightning. Lita leapt backwards, and the blast just missed her, but Koaru's next strike didn't. He landed in a crouch, and holding his right hand in his left, gathered energy into his right palm. He then charged down Lita and struck out, with the battle command "Tritus Thunder Edge!" the energy took the shape of a large blade and Lita was struck down by the blast. As she slammed into the ground, she gacked, and blood shot straight out of her mouth and into the air, landing on and around her body. She was still alive, but one more hit would change that. But Koaru didn't consider her a threat anymore. He was interested in the last Scout still standing, and he wanted her blood to be spilt.
Sailor Mercury's heart was beating very quickly as she watched Koaru slowly advance towards her. She tried to summon her powers, but they wouldn't respond. Koaru was now eight feet away, and she saw a flash of white light, and before her eyes she watched her memories of Koaru and herself, the tricks he played on her, that kiss that they shared at their young age, how they trained together, studied together, how she felt when he vanished, and how she felt seeing him again. Amy then realized that, even though she had developed a crush on Greg through the private lessons he gave her, she loved Koaru, and he loved her.
Koaru gathered energy into his hands and prepared to strike down the last Scout when she did something he didn't expect, she lunged at him. The shock of the surprise attack allowed Sailor Mercury to tackle him and pin him down. She looked into his eyes and saw, in the depths of the blue, a red glow, an evil force controlling him. Sailor Moon was back on her feet, and shouted "Amy, move! I'll finish this!" Amy just looked into Koaru's eyes, then closed her own, leaned down, and kissed him.
Serena's jaw dropped. Sailor Mercury had just kissed the enemy. As she watched, Koaru threw her off of him, got to his feet, then froze. His body started to glow with a purple energy, which kicked up dirt and dust, and he was thrashing around, screaming in agony. Then from his mouth shot out blood, followed by a small spirit ball, glowing with the same purple energy as he was. Koaru collapsed, and Amy ran to his side. He whispered into her ear, and she shouted to Serena, "Sailor Moon! Destroy that spirit!" Serena nodded and charged her tiara, "Moon...Tiara...Magic!" The disk struck the spirit, and it vanished in a flash of purple fire. Serena ran over to Amy, who was looking at Koaru with concern. He opened his eyes, looked at them, and simply said, "I'm sorry..." then he passed out.
Up in the Royal Box, while the others were tending to King Jupiter's body, King Mercury was looking down at his daughter and Koaru with distaste. He summoned a guard over, who asked what he needed. "See to it that the boy will vanish before my daughter's next birthday." The guard nodded, and left the King to savor his plans.
da da da!!! hope that shocked a few of you. please review

hey i am not cruel, i just put my painful thought and feelings into what i write.
Chapter 13: Two Hearts Shattered, Two Hearts Joined
Two weeks after the incident, Koaru was still in the Moon Hospital with serious injuries to his heart, head, and esophagus. But he was still training; he had Amy bring him new Elemental Energy Spell manuals, and was learning new techniques every day. Amy was more happy then she had ever been, and rarely left Koaru's bedside. Serena's injuries were minor, just a few bruises on her butt and arms, so she was telling everyone who would listen about the new romance. Mina and Lita's injuries were the worst, more severe then Koaru's even. Mina and four cracked ribs and internal bleeding which had finally stopped three days ago. She was now awake, and had accepted Koaru's apology. Lita had three cracked and two broken ribs, a punctured lung, dislocated collarbone and the severe cut from the strike. She was now in a coma, and Koaru took full blame for the incident. His eyes (which were now their normal brown) had a lost look to them, and he didn't ever want company, but Amy wouldn't listen, and neither would the others who came.
Koaru was reading a book called "Tai Jutsu and Your Energies" when Amy came in to give him some food. He looked up and, for the first time in two weeks, smiled. "Hey girl." he said as she brought the food over to him and sat down on the foot of his bed. He put down the book and started to shovel the food down. "Hungry?" Amy asked as she watched, giggling slightly. Koaru noted the sarcasm, and looked at her with a serious look. "No," he replied, "I'm getting ready to hibernate and need to eat 500 pounds of food to fat, fat...FAT!" he puffed his chest out, and Amy laughed, raising her hand in front of her face as she did so. "How the hell came you eat this shit?" Koaru and Amy both looked to the door and saw Lita wheeling herself in on a wheelchair. "Lita!" they both shouted and jumped up (Koaru flinched slightly as he did so, and one of his bandages stained red) and they brought her over to the bed, which Koaru hopped back into. Lita looked at Koaru, and asked "What the fu*k were you thinking?" Koaru gave her an apology and started to explain what had happened in the castle.
Serena was walking around outside when she turned a corner and bumped into Darien. Both fell backwards and let out a shout of shock. Serena got back to her feet and glared at him. "You idiot! What are you doing?" Darien got to his feet, feeling like a fool. "I was going to see Koaru, if that is alright with you." As he said these words, Serena saw a bit of Nicholas in him. He started to walk past her when she asked, "Do you...want to go for a walk first?" Darien looked at her, this 13 year old princess betrothed to his brother, who never saw her. For the first time, she looked like a teenager instead of a bossy little princess. He thought a moment, then nodded his head. "Sure."
two months later...
Koaru had just finished packing his bags and was heading out on a month long training expedition in the mountain range on Mercury. Amy had tried to talk him out of it, but he wouldn't listen. "Amy, it is only a month. I'll be back soon." She turned her head away from him, and he put his hand under he chin and turned her face back to him, and he kissed her. As they parted, he looked into her eyes, "I promise." She sniffed, then nodded her head, and he left.
A week after that Amy was just coming in from her training when she noticed that several soldiers weren't at their posts. Puzzled, she went to talk with her father. "Dad," she said as she entered the throne room, "Why are there so many guards missing?" King Mercury looked at her with a stern look. "Never you mind, child. That is my business, and if it involves you, I will tell you. Now leave." Amy bowed her head slightly, then left the room, satisfied with the answer.
Meanwhile, Koaru was climbing to the top of the last mountain for the day, ready to make camp at the top. As he climbed over the edge, he saw that another tent was already erected there, and a fire was cooking food. He walked over, and shouted a greeting. To his surprise, three Jupiter soldiers came out of the tent, each looking tired as he felt. "You just get here?" he asked them, and they nodded. "You hungry?" the one asked as he motioned towards the fire. Koaru's stomach grumbled in response, and they started to cook some rations.
As they ate, Koaru couldn't help but notice that these guards acted more like Mercury knights then Jupiter ones. He figured that the mountains probably had an affect on them and continued to eat, but stopped as he heard footsteps behind him. He jumped up and turned to face the newcomers, and saw that an entire battalion of Mercury knights had surrounded him. Then he felt a sharp pain in his back, and turned to see that one of the campers had shot him in the back with a crossbow. He then heard the discharging of many bows, and felt them strike his back. His vision started to blur, and he tried to remain standing, but collapsed to his hands and knees. "Damn it." he said as he blacked out in the snow, with the knights closing in around him.

and i was cruel, would i be giving u two chapters today?
Chapter 14: The Secret of the Dungeon
No one had heard from Koaru in eight weeks, and the spirits were low as Serena's 14th birthday rounded the corner. Amy had been putting on a strong front, but she was very unstable and would burst into tears at the slightest mention of Koaru. Greg had organized several search parties and tried to find him, but they couldn't even find his tracks. Artemis ordered that Koaru only be listed as MIA (missing in action), not KIA (killed in action), because the last time he did, Koaru came back and kicked his ass. Greg was promoted by King Mercury from Squire to Knight, and was given many jobs, mainly capturing criminals. It was this job that led him to a dark discovery.
"Let me go! I didn't attack the man, he threw his knife at me!" Greg listened as the old man he was escorting to the dungeon yelled and complained. "Save it, will you?" he said as the guard opened the door and they entered the dungeon. It was Greg's first time entering it, and he wanted to leave as soon as possible. It was dark, musky, and smelled of human waste and sickness. There were cells full of younger, stronger criminals along one wall, and the other had a bench with older and weaker criminals chained to it. Greg led the man over to this bench and chained him to it, then turned to leave when he heard a loud scream of agony come from a closed door. An older man shook his head sadly. "There they go, torturing that man again." Greg looked at the old guy and asked "What did he do?" One of the younger prisoners in a cell yelled over in a cruel voice, "He was arrested for learning forbidden magic and stalking the princess, and also being an accomplice of King Soul." Greg looked at the man, then crept over to the door as another cry of pain echoed through it. He opened the door very slightly, and the sight that met his eyes was unimaginable.
The younger prisoner watched as Greg stumbled backwards, smiling. "Never thought that torture could be that bad, eh? Well, come to think of it, torture is no allowed anymore, so the King will be screwed if you tell anyone." Greg ran out of the dungeon, up the stairs, and skidded to a halt. The site before him hade his heart stop.
"Well, tell me. Was your trip to the dungeon...enlightening?" King Mercury asked Greg as his face flushed. King Mercury looked at a general behind him. "General, arrest this man for the crime of treachery." Greg looked at him with shock. "Treachery? How?" King Mercury looked at him with a sour look. "For teaching the princess, which you know is a crime. Women should stay in the house and kitchen, not work in the world, they are men's most prized possessions!" Greg knew then that King Mercury didn't know that the Crystal Moon Academy also taught education, or Amy wouldn't be there. "Take him away." King Mercury ordered, and Greg was relieved of his sword and taken to the dungeon. Three days later Artemis was reading the list of latest arrests, as was part of his job, and drinking some hard beer. His eyes paused on the Mercury list, then he spit out his mouthful of booze. He ran to the stable, where he grabbed a horse and took off to the Academy.
Sailor Mercury and Mars were practicing a new combo move when Artemis rode up beside them. "Amy!" he shouted, and Sailor Mercury walked over to him, puzzled. "Greg, Greg was arrested. Your discovered that he was teaching you." Amy instantly left for home. When she arrived, King Mercury was waiting for her. "Why did you arrest Greg?" she demanded. "SILENCE!" King Mercury roared at her, and she flinched. "How dare you talk to me with that tone, girl. He was arrested for breaking the law." Amy interrupted him, "For breaking your security! You fear the thought of women being equal to men! You-" her words were cut short by King Mercury striking her in the face, knocking her to the floor. "How dare you..." he said, with venom running through his voice. "Get out of my site." Amy left the room, and went straight to the dungeon.
"I'm sorry princess, but I can't let you past." the guard told Amy as she begged him to let her past. Amy thought for a moment, then remembered what Raye told her; "Us girls have an advantage over guys, hee hee, it's all about how you act around them. Act right, and they are clay for you to mold." Amy, knowing that this would decrease her self respect, put on a look of desperation and weakness, and asked again, "Please, please let me through..." The guard wavered, but still shook his head. Amy had no other choice, she started to lift her skirt, revealing her legs, when the guard snapped. "Alright, alright! Go! But if you get caught, I had nothing to do with it." Amy nodded her thanks, and entered.
Inside, Amy was surrounded by the strong smell of sweaty men, many of whom were giving her wolf whistles, and saying very unpleasant things. As she walked around, she asked if any of them knew where Greg was. One of the men in a cell called to her, "You lookin for the pretty boy?" She looked over and approached the cell. "Yes, where is he?" The man reached out through the bars and pointed to the right. Amy looked over and saw Greg, but as she started to walk to him, the man grabbed her arms and pulled her into the bars and, with one hand, 'felt her up'. She screamed and many of the others laughed and cheered, but then a food tray flew at the man, hit him square in the face, and he released her, blood dripping from the wound. Amy looked around, but saw no one, so she ran over to Greg, who was very pale.
"Are you ok?" he asked as she approached. She nodded, then checked him. He was unhurt, but severely under nourished. "Amy," he said, "The corner cell, go. But, be careful." Amy was very confused, but she got to her feet, and walked over to the corner cell, which was very dark. She found and lit a torch, let the light illuminate the cell, and gasped. In the cell was a young man, strapped to the wall by his ankles, upside down. He wore only filthy shorts, and his long black hair was greasy and tangled. His body was covered in scars, and many cuts were still bleeding. But it was his shoulder that shocked her; the inverted pentagram with the red demon eye in the center.

no....what? i am not a mind reader, GoD. one word posts don't say much.
Chapter 15: Execution of Lies, Return of the Soul
It was three weeks since Amy discovered what had happened to Koaru, and she didn't know what to do. According to the guard, he was to be publicly executed for several severe crimes in three weeks, and the execution day was now. Amy had gone to Queen Serenity, who was outraged at the actions done by King Mercury, but she had no power over him. Greg was to be released after the execution, but no one really cared. Amy hadn't said anything to her father, but she couldn't look him in the eye anymore, fearing that he would know. It was now the hour of execution, and a large crowd gathered around the guillotine, curious as to who was to die. Amy had tried to hire mercenaries to free Koaru, but they all refused, saying that is was too dangerous. Amy felt no hope, and locked herself in her room, not wanting to watch.
Koaru was dragged, and I mean dragged, to the guillotine, cause the torture he had endured had left him limp and unmoving, but alive. King Mercury looked at Koaru as the guards sat him before the device. "Boy," he started, "You are to be beheaded for the following crimes: The first is-" Koaru mumbled something, and the King paused. "What did you say?" Koaru raised his head, glaring at Mercury. "I said, my crime was loving and caring for your daughter, and having powers that threatened you own." King Mercury had had enough. "Off with his head!" The guards slammed Koaru's head down and locked him in place. The executioner readied the blade to drop, and King Mercury asked, "Any last words?" Koaru smiled, "Yeah," he said, and instantly the demon eye on his shoulder glowed, and the chain like marks spread again. Koaru then set fire to the head lock, and burst out of it's hold. Koaru looked at King Mercury and said "My last words are, 'I Promise!' " With that, he vanished.
Amy was overwhelmed with joy at the sound of Koaru's escape. It had been a month, and high spirits were in the air as Serena and her friends readied themselves for the Moon Princess' 14th birthday party. But on top of there being a large number of guests coming, the entire army was on full alert for King Soul.
Meanwhile, on the Black Moon, King Soul was trying to figure out how to have Serena marry him. He paced the throne room of his castle, thinking, then a voice was heard. "Soul, you really should think faster, you have less then four hours...hmph." King Soul looked into the shadows. "Be quiet sister. I have a plan, but, I need one of your curses."
Serena enjoyed her party to the fullest. She received many gifts, all which she loved, and, (what she was willing to bet was sent by Koaru) a target board. Serena reached to open her last gift, a small box with a purple bow, and noticed that it was missing a card. She figured it was also from Koaru, and opened it. Inside was a crystal necklace, which many people remarked was beautiful, and she quickly put it on. However, as soon as she closed the clasp on it, the crystal struck through her skin, and she screamed. Many people rushed get the necklace off, which had started to glow purple. After a final tug, Artemis managed to pull it off, and Serena dislodged the crystal and threw it. They all knew who sent it, King Soul.
The next day Queen Serenity took Serena to Venus to have Queen Venus examine the wound. Queen Venus put Serena into a trance and used her powers to examine the wound. "It is a curse." she said after a while, and Serenity gasped. Venus looked at her, worried. "It is a Lagurte Orodima curse, a heart altering curse. King Soul is trying to force Serena's heart to him, instead of Nicholas." Queen Serenity asked sadly, "Is there anything that can be done?" Venus looked at the curse again, and found nothing of a loop hole. "There is one hope, though..." she said, and Serenity looked up, "Not all curses can be broken, but they can be scratched." Serenity asked, puzzled, "Meaning...what?" Venus looked at her. "In this case, there is a chance that Serena will love neither Soul nor Nicholas, but she needs to find that new love soon, or it will be too late."

Chapter 16: Daring Abduction
Serena hurried around her room, grabbing her purse, tying her hair into the two overlarge pigtails that she loved, and ran outside to meet Nicholas. They were going for a walk down to the lake, and Serena was excited to see him again, but as she ran down to meet him, she felt slightly guilty. She had been secretly dating Darien for a month, and no one knew, so she was afraid what would happen if anyone did learn of that bit of info. But for the moment, she was seeing her husband to be, and he was standing at the foot of the stairs, wearing a foot soldier uniform, which was black and red with green stripes.
"God, has she gotten...big." Nicholas thought as he watched her run down the stairs, remembering the last time he saw her, she was barely taller then the railing. Now, she was using the railing to help guide her down the stairs as she ran. He was shocked to see her looking so mature and...well...just plain attractive. "I am a lucky s.o.b." he thought with a smile.
"So, you have been pretty busy with the war, huh?" Serena asked as they walked around the lake, popping the little candies that Nicholas had brought her. "Yeah, we have been fighting a lot of different enemies since King Soul resurrected the ancient Yoma clans. Now those little fuc*ers are hard to kill." Serena laughed and Nicholas blushed, realizing that he had just said some very un-prince-like words. "So, any new scars?" she asked. "No, I try not to get hit by those little buggers." Serena laughed, the she looked at him, smiling. "Aren't those little buggers about eight feet tall and about 300 pounds.?" Nicholas never answered. He collapsed to the ground, and as he got back to his feet, Serena vanished. "Well, isn't this a cute site." Nick looked up and saw King Soul hovering eight feet above him, with Serena trapped in one of his little bubble prisons. "Here is a little challenge for you and your brother. Come to my new home, the Black Moon, and rescue your princess. Only you, no one else." With these words he and Serena vanished. "Ah, shit." he said as he got to his feet.
Darien finished writing a quick letter and setting it on Serena's mirror, hoping that someone would find it. He then ran out of the room and rejoined Nicholas at the portal, who was trying to break the spell that prevented them from traveling to the Black Moon. "Any luck?" Darien asked as he locked the door behind him and slid the key back under the door. "Hell yeah." Nick said as he stood up and the portal opened. In the swirling energy, they saw an image of a pitch black planet covered in fire and dark energy. "Jesus, that is where he lives? That explains his attitude." Nicholas said as he and Darien walked into the portal.
Amy looked around for her diary, wanting to write about her latest dream about her and Koaru (no details ^_^ suckers). Then she remembered, she had left it in Serena's room. She walked to the portal and went to the Moon. "Hello?" she asked as she walked around the palace grounds, trying to see if anyone was around. She made her way up to Serena's room, and found her book on the dresser. As she turned to leave, she noticed a note on the mirror. She read out of curiosity, and after she finished, her diary fell to the floor.
"So, this is what evil looks like?" Nicholas and Darien both looked at the scene before them. Barren waste lands as far as they could see, and at the end of it all, there was the castle. "Lets go."
"I don't have time for this, Mina!" Amy yelled at her blonde friend as she tried to explain about this new potion she had found. Mina looked at her blue haired friend, feeling irritated. "Ok, what is so important?" Amy explained, then the two split up, Amy to Mars and Mina to Jupiter.

yes i have been busy writing. and yes, the ending to that chapter sucked as well.
Chapter 17: Welcome to Hell
"I don't think that this is enough." Amy said as she looked at the small group who they had gathered to attack the Black Moon. The four princesses, Jedite, Seifer, Glave, Greg, and two Saturn mercenaries who Jedite had brought along. "This is the best we got." Seifer said as he sharpened his three swords, (if you know One Piece, think Zolo, that's where I got the idea of three swords) and he sheathed the three and refilled his kunai knife pouch. Everyone looked at him with a curious expression. "What? I train with multiple weapons." They all ran into the portal and teleported to the Black Moon, hoping to catch Darien and Nicholas before they got themselves killed.
"Well, I see that you kept your part of the deal." Nicholas and Darien stood at the foot of King Souls throne, glaring at him. "Where is Serena?" Nick asked, drawing his sword. "She is safe, which should make you happy." Darien stepped forward, sword drawn. "So, what is the deal?" King Soul waved his hand, and dozens of Yoma rushed into the room. "Stay alive till I get bored." Darien and Nicholas both backed up a step, and in unison, "Oh shit."
Sailor Mars ran at the head of the group, panting as she ran, the others yelling at her to slow down. Suddenly, she did stop. The others caught up to her, and saw a...how to describe him...a cloaked figure standing in ahead of them, about twelve feet in front. His cloak was flapping in the wind, and he turned to face them. The hood blew off, and they saw that his face was wrapped in black bandages, like a ninja. Around his neck was a crystal dagger with four different colored gems around the hilt (not to big, about the same size as the Serena's pendant). On his back were two swords: one was the shape of a crescent moon, with the edge on the outside of the curve, the other about six feet long, one inch thick, and two feet wide. At both his sides were two katanas, and his energy was just radiating off of his body. "You all want to save the Moon Princess, right?" he said, his voice flat and dangerous. Sailor Venus nodded her head, and the soldiers tightened their grip on their blades. "Fine, but leave Soul to me." With that, he vanished in a fountain of dust. "What was that?" Greg asked, and the other shrugged their shoulders, then continued to the castle.
"Damn it!" Darien shouted as he slammed into the wall. Nicholas jumped in front of him, killing the demon that was rushing in for the kill. "Come on little bro, you fought better four years ago." Darien smiled, and got back to his feet. "Dare," Nick said, "You go get Serena. I'll handle these MoFos." Darien laughed and ran out of the room. King Soul watched, then turned to stop Darien when he was struck in the chest and sent through the wall into the next room. "Who are you?" he asked as he got to his feet, glaring at the figure that just knocked him down. The figure looked at him with pure storm blue eyes, with a silver and black ying-yang for pupils. "You can call me, Shadow Mercury."
there. the begining to the best fight i have written.

ok thnx. sorry it has been so long. school, you know. Chapter 18: Battle of Soul
Darien ran up the stairs, and figured that he was in one of the towers, judging from the fact that the stairs were in a spiral. As he reached the landing, several Yomas attacked him, and he was forced to fight rather then catch his breath. "Die, you damn bastards!" he shouted as he sliced them to pieces.
The Scouts and the small group of warriors entered a large room, pitch black and dark (no duh). "I got a bad feeling about this..." Sailor Venus said as she walked forward. Suddenly, torches lit all around the room, and they saw that they were surrounded by Yomas, hundreds of them. "Mina," Nicholas said, "I fucing hate it when you are right." Jedite looked at him as he drew his sword. "No shit."
"Crystal Phoenix Flame" Shadow Mercury yelled as he sent a massive stream
of silver colored fire at King Soul. The merciless attack caught King Soul off guard and he took the attack head on. He then countered by blasting Shadow Mercury with a black energy blast which caught him in the chest. The masked fighter was sent into the wall, and he struggled back to his feet. "You're good, Soul." he said, respecting his opponent. King Soul nodded his head, "As are you. Its a shame to kill such a warrior." Shadow Mercury drew his katanas, "My thoughts exactly." He then leapt into the air. "Twin Crescent Moon Dance!" King Soul barely dodges the attack, and both blades sliced through the wall like soft butter.
"Serena, are you in there?" Darien yelled through the thick wooden door that he met after the demons. "Darien? Darien! Get me outta here!" Darien shouted back, "Get away from the door!" then backed up, then ran at the door and kicked it in, shattering it splinters. "What took you so long?" Serena shouted at him as she ran into his arms. "You ever tried to fight off eleven demons as you climb a stair well?" Serena shook her head. "Here, you might want this." Darien handed her the Moon Pendant. "Thanks. Moon Prism Power!"
"Damn it!" Nicholas yelled as he got slashed by a demon's claw. "Jupiter...Thunder...Dragon!" Sailor Jupiter yelled as she sent a dragon shaped thunder bolt toward the demons. ”I’ll bet that hurt. "Jedite said as the demons collapsed to the ground, twitching and burning. “Mars...Firebird...Arise!” Sailor Mars screamed, sending a screeching fire bird towards the demons. "Anyone up for roast whatever-the-hell-this-is?" Siepher asked. "Hey, did anyone miss us?" Darien asked as he and Sailor Moon rejoined the group. "No." everyone called to them.
"You'll never defeat me, boy!" King Soul said as he hammered Shadow Mercury through the wall.
"Look out!" Greg yelled as half the wall came crashing around them. "Its that guy again!" Sailor Venus shouted as the figure met the opposite wall with a loud crack. Then King Soul jumped through the wall (well, what was left of it, anyway),looked around and smiled. "I hope that my servants treated you all nicely." he said with an evil grin. "If these are the servants, I'd hate to meet the army." Sailor Mercury said. "Personally, I would take these guys over King Soul." Shadow Mercury said as he pulled himself out of the wall. He then turned to the group. "I guess I should introduce myself. Shadow Mercury is the name, and killing is my game. Like, for example..." he raised his hands in front of his face, palms out. "Phoenix Flame Barrage!" A shower of fire balls shot from his hands and incinerated all the Yoma in the room. "Holy...shit." Sailor Mars said as she watched the ashes fall to the ground.
"Well I'm impressed," King Soul said, "but you will need more than that to stop me.'' Greg took a step forward. "Dude, you are so outnumbered, why not surrender?" Soul smiled, "Simple," he replied, "Unlike you, I have an advantage." Siepher tensed up and drew his third blade, placing it's handle in his mouth in order to wield it. "What the hell are you talking about?" Sailor Moon asked. "This." King Soul answered by waving his hand. Then Sailor Mercury's body glowed and she vanished, then appeared at King Soul's side! "Damn you, you bastard!" Shadow Mercury yelled as King Soul put his sword by Amy's throat. "Yes, I know." he said with a smile.

Chapter 19: The Bigger They are, The Harder They Fall
Up at King Soul's side, Amy was very nervous. "What am I going to do?" she
thought to herself. Then she saw the Creeper. "Guys, Look out!" She screamed at
the others as the Creeper approached them from behind. "What the fuc..." Shadow Mercury started to say as the Creeper sped up and hammered into the group with amazing speed.
Compared to the Scouts and Warriors, the Creeper was huge. It stood six meters tall and weighed close to three tons. It's body was covered in metal sheets that were seven inches thick, and it had four arms and tentacle-like legs that could reach up to twenty feet away. Did I mention, it was also very fast.
"Shit," Darien thought to himself as the Creeper grabbed him with it's tentacles, "I
hate Creepers, especially if they attack me." "Anyone got an idea?" Siepher yelled as he fought to get free of the Creeper's grip. "Just one," Shadow Mercury called from the other side of the room, "keep it busy for a minute and I'll take care of it." "You got it." the others cried.
"This is terrible," Sailor Mercury thought to herself as she watched the mayhem,
unable to help, "if only I could do something..."
"Heads up!" Sailor Mars yelled as the Creeper swung one of it's arms at Shadow
Mercury.
"Its time." Shadow Mercury said to himself as the Creeper's arms came at him.
He jumped up as the clawed fist smashed the wall where he had been only moments before. He then threw a dagger of white energy at the Creeper's unprotected head, which struck and stuck on the mark. Shadow Mercury then leaped off the wall and cried "Tritus Drac Slayer!", slamming the dagger with his heel and forcing it through the Creeper's brain. The Creeper swayed, roared, then exploded in a shower of debris.
"Clean-up on aisle twelve." Greg joked as the pieces of the creature showered to the ground. King Soul simply smiled, "You won that round, but at what price?" The group fell silent. "What are you talking about?" Sailor Moon asked. "Since you killed my Creeper, its only fair that you lose a friend." he said, raising his sword back to Amy's throat. "Don't even think about it, you bastard!" Shadow Mercury yelled at King Soul, drawing his giant sword and starting to run at him. "Just try to stop me, boy." he replied and sent an energy ball at Shadow Mercury that hit its mark and sent him across the room and into the wall again. The two Saturn mercenaries, both who wielded giant swords like Shadow Mercury's, charged King Soul. "Oh, please." he said, sounding bored, and he threw a black sphere at the two, and they both exploded into a shower of blood and guts. "Oh...Jesus..." Sailor Jupiter whispered as she watched.
"No!" Amy cried as Shadow Mercury crashed into the wall and the two mercenaries died in the blink of an eye. She then looked back at the masked fighter, and saw that the head wrap had come apart from the blast. The fighter now stood up, glaring at Soul, and they saw his face. "No...way..." Greg said as he looked at the face of Prince Tritus.

Chapter 20: Blades Speak Louder than Words
Koaru got to his feet and ran at King Soul, who threw more sphere's at him. Koaru dodges them, then as he passed the remains of the two fallen warriors, he grabbed their swords, and remember, these swords are huge. Koaru held one in each hand and attacked Soul, who trapped Amy in a bubble (yes, another one) and drew his own sword. Koaru leapt at Soul, and their blades clashed, causing sparks to shoot off the edges. Koaru then swung the other sword around and Soul jumped out of the way. Koaru then threw the sword at him, which missed and struck the wall, becoming lodged in it. "What was that?" King Soul taunted. Koaru smiled, "An advantage." he then leapt up, grabbed the handle of the stuck sword, and swung himself over and at Soul, who paused a moment too long. Koaru slashed him across the chest, and Soul fell to the ground, blood pouring from the wound. Koaru landed, on the ground, and Soul struck his sword into the ground. "Black Quake Strike!" The ground exploded, and Koaru was sent into the wall again, the last sword flying into the ceiling.
"Damn it," Koaru thought to himself as he tried to think of a new plan. Then he sighed. "I have no other choice but to use the Shadow Scar's power, even though I may lose control again."
"Time to die, princess!" King Soul said as he wrapped Amy in bands of coils made of dark energy. The coils wrapped tightly around her, and Amy started to suffocate. "STOP!" Sailor Moon screamed at King Soul, who looked at her with a smile. "No." he said, then he trapped them all in one of his bubbles.
"Can't...breathe..." Amy thought to herself as the coils continued to constrict around her. Then she heard someone yell "Amy!" She opened her eyes and saw Koaru. "...Koaru..." Amy managed to whisper before she passed out.
"NO!"Koaru yelled as he saw Amy pass out. "King Soul, I'll kill you!" he shouted, anger burning in his soul. "Sure," King Soul laughed, then his heart skipped a beat. Koaru had achieved the full power of the Shadow Scar! His body was surrounded by swirling energies, and the mark had fully covered his body. Now Koaru was transforming, his hands curving into claws, his face expanding, his skin replaced with blue fur, his hair turning blood red, and from his head grew two horns curving from his skull down his back. "The fool," King Soul thought, "he forgot that I gave him that mark, so he can't even touch me."
"This is for you ,Amy." Koaru thought to himself. He then threw himself at King Soul and hammered into...thin air! King Soul had teleported himself across the room. "You fool," King Soul said to Koaru, "you forgot that as long as I live, the Shadow Scar's power can't harm me, and I see that you still can't control it!"
"Oh no!" Sailor Moon said from inside the force field that held her and the others prisoner, "that means Koaru can't win!"
"You may prevent me from using the power on you," Koaru said to King Soul, but I
can still use it to free my friends." He then leapt into the air, extending his right claw as he went, then when he was over top of the force field, he gathered energy into his claw and,
as he slashed the air as he brought his arm down, he cried, "Galian Beast Crusher!"
"NO!" King Soul cried as the energy released and shattered the force field
to pieces. King Soul then said, "I believe that I have humiliated you all enough for one day, so goodbye." With that, he vanished from the room. Koaru breathed for a minute, then changed back to normal, except that he was only wearing torn pants now.
"Amy, wake up. Please, wake up." Koaru said as he slashed the cords binding her
and lay her on the floor. "No, this can't be, she can't be..." Sailor Moon said. "Damn it, Amy, wake up. You saved my life and I am not going to let you die because of me." Koaru
said, tears streaking his face. "I...I can't live without you, Amy, so please, open your eyes." With those words, he kissed her.
"Where am I?" Amy asked herself.She felt like her body was floating in space, and felt less and less, floating towards a bright light. Then she felt something touch her lips, and it hit her. "Koaru!" She cried out, feeling herself wake up.
"Oh, thank God." Koaru said when he saw Amy open her eyes. "She's ALIVE!
All right!" Sailor Venus yelled. "Why...what happened?" Amy asked. "We'll tell you at home, all right?" Koaru said with a smile. "Yeah, R&R time!" Darien yelled, jumping into the air.

Chapter 21: The Short Lived Victory
As the group walked into the Palace grounds, they chatted about what they were going to do. Amy and Koaru were going for a walk, Serena and Nicholas were going to have a little visit, and the others were going to just relax, except Raye, who was going to pray for the fallen Saturn warriors. However, the guards weren't on duty, so they couldn't get inside. "There should be guards, right?" Mina asked as she and Jedite held hands. Koaru nodded his head, then ran straight up the wall and jumped onto the ramparts. "Oh...shit." he said, then opened the gate. "Serena," he shouted as he leapt off of the ramparts, "hurry. Queen Serenity is in trouble!"
Inside the palace, Queen Serenity was in trouble. King Soul had hypnotized her and was going to make her marry him when he got struck from behind by a golden boomerang. "Take that, King Soul!" Sailor Moon said as she caught the boomerang, which turned out to be her tiara. "Give him a second helping, Sailor Moon." Koaru said, appearing beside her. "Good idea," she replied, holding the tiara behind her. "Take this King Soul, Moon...Tiara...Magic!" Sailor Moon yelled as she threw the tiara at King Soul. This time, however, he was ready and caught the tiara with his hand and then threw it right back at them! "Oh shit!" Koaru yelled as he and Sailor Moon were nailed by the tiara and sent across the room. "If you two are done, I have important business too attend to." King Soul said. "NOW!" King Soul heard someone behind him yell. He turned around only to get hammered by an electric dragon, a flaming bird, a beam of light, and a wall of ice!
"Nice shot, Sailor Venus." Sailor Mars said. "I'll bet that that hurt." Sailor Jupiter
added. "And now you all are going to die!" King Soul roared as he got to his feet. "I think not." Koaru said as he and Sailor Moon joined the other Scouts. "Now that you are all in one spot, I'll destroy you all in one shot!" King Soul said as he shot an array of black energy beams at the group. "Guess again, King Butt-Head!" Koaru said as the beams closed in on them, "Your own attack will now attack you, Tritus Mirror Wall!" King Soul's blast slammed into the Mirror Wall, and shattered it! "What the hell!" Koaru cried as thousands of pieces of the Mirror Wall came flying at them, cutting them and covering the floor. "Your Mirror Wall counter attack is a good one," King Soul said, "but you have never used it before now, and it was not strong enough to withstand my attack." "Really, then lets see you withstand this!" came Darien's voice from behind King Soul. He turned to see another group of warriors standing in the room. "That's it." King Soul said. "Yoma demons, attack!"
The wall behind the warriors exploded and a hundred vicious Yoma Demons entered the room. "Man," Greg said, "they let all kinds of freaks into this party."
Queen Serenity opened her eyes and saw that there was a battle in her castle. She groaned as she sat up, causing Sailor Moon to turn in her direction. "Mom!" Sailor Moon cried as she ran to the queen, who smiled at seeing her daughter. "Serena," her mother whispered, "get the Crystal." "Alright." Sailor Moon said, and ran off.
Nicholas ducked under a demon's claw and thrust his sword into it's throat. "Good
riddens to bad rubbish." he said with a grin. Suddenly the top half of a demon went zooming over his head, followed by the bottom half under his legs. He turned to see Koaru holding his twin katana, both which were covered in green demon blood. "Watch your back, Nick." he said. "Thanks, I owe you one." he replied. "A little help please!" Greg called as he tried to fight off twelve Yoma at once.
"I won't lose." King Soul thought to himself as he watched his army being slaughtered in front of him. He then looked up and saw Sailor Moon at the top of the stairs
carrying the Impearium Silver Crystal. "That's it!" King Soul shouted, raising his hand and shooting a black beam at Sailor Moon.
"Heads up!" Sailor Venus shouted as a black beam of energy came in their direction. "I got it!" Koaru called as he leapt in front of the Scouts. "Try to block this, Soul. Tritus Mirror Force!" The beam smashed into the shield with such force, that the Scouts and Koaru went flying back up the stairs, and out a window! "Oh...SHIIIIIIIIT!" they yelled as they plummeted to the ground.
"That had to hurt." Greg said, looking out the ball room window at the group lying
on the ground. "Yeh think?" Jedite said as more demons came at them.
and i am done. need to get the rest later, sorry. i will have more tommorrow...hopefully.
