glad to hear that you like it. sry aout the length between the posts, i have been bombarded with homework.
Chapter 22: The Price of Victory
"Ow.....my head." Sailor Moon moaned as she got to her feet and looked around. "Is everyone alright?" She asked, looking at the fallen group. "Define alright." Sailor Jupiter said as she got to her feet as well. "We're breathing are we not?" Koaru said as he raised to one knee. "Uh oh," Sailor Mars said, "Koaru, you better come here." Koaru came and saw that Sailor Mercury was knocked out cold, and a small trickle of blood was seeping from her head. "That's it," Koaru said, "girls, go ahead. I'll be there in a moment." Back in the castle, King Soul was in very bad mood. His army had been destroyed, the Queen had escaped, and the Scouts were still alive. "Don't you children ever die?" he shouted as the Scouts re-entered the room. "No." Sailor Venus said with a grin. "Let's test that theory, shall we?" King Soul roared as he sent a gigantic sphere of black energy at the Scouts. The sphere was two yards from the Scouts when it suddenly split in half and vanished. "WHAT!?" King Soul roared, "that's impossible!"
The Sailor Scouts opened their eyes, wondering why they hadn't been blasted back out of the room, only to see Shadow Mercury standing in front of them, crescent blade drawn. "Mind if I cut in?" he joked as he watched King Soul's face turn red. "This one is for Amy," he said, moving his sword to point behind him. "Tell me if this hurts, Soul. Crescent Wave!" The attack sent a wave of crescent shaped energy blades flying at King Soul, who was extremely shocked at the power Koaru possessed. All of the blades hit their mark, leaving King Soul tattered and bloody.
"My turn," King Soul said, raising his own sword and striking into the ground. "Try to survive my, Black Quake Strike!", but instead of sending the attack at Shadow Mercury, he directed it at the Sailor Scouts. "Oh shit!" Sailor Mars yelled as the floor beneath her feet shook, then exploded, sending her and the rest of the Scouts soaring across the room. "SHIT!" Shadow Mercury yelled as he started to run to the fallen Scouts, but was slammed into the opposite wall by one of King Souls energy beams. "That hurt," Shadow Mercury groaned as he got to his feet, only to feel cold steel tear open his back. He cried in pain as collapsed back to the floor as King Soul raised his sword over Koaru's head. "Good-bye," King Soul said, raising the blade higher and thrust down at Koaru's head, where it stopped a mere two inches from his skull. "What the..." Koaru wondered as he looked up at King Soul, only too see him encased in a block of ice.
two minutes earlier:
Sailor Mercury opened her eyes and found herself lying face down outside the palace. She struggled into a sitting position and coughed, felt something enter her mouth, and spit. Blood. She then heard a cry of pain and quickly got to her feet and ran back into the palace. What she saw was something she would never forget. There was blood everywhere, both red and green, and bodies, parts of bodies, and the insides of bodies all over the floor. There was also the surviving soldiers, all who were exsohsted beyond conciseness, the other Scouts, all out cold and covered in their own blood, and there was Shadow Mercury, his back sliced open, lying at King Soul's feet. Then King Soul raised his sword over his head and struck down, and Sailor Mercury ran at him and cried, "Shine Aqua Illusion!" When she looked again, she saw that she had imprisoned King Soul in a block of ice.
Shadow Mercury looked past the ice cube and, saw to his relief, that Sailor Mercury was all right, and that it was her who had saved his life. "Damn, good to see you girl." he managed to say as he tried to get up. Amy rushed over to him and helped him up. "I see that you gave him the cold shoulder." Shadow Mercury said as she helped him up. "The others took one of King Soul's attacks head on, so I think they will be out for a little longer." "That's what you think." Koaru and Amy turned to see the Scout's up and ready for more. "Nice ice sculpting," Sailor Jupiter said, looking at King Soul's frozen form, "you really outdid yourself this time, Koaru." "It wasn't me," he replied, "it was Amy." "Shit," Nicholas said, "remind me not to piss her off anymore." They all turned around when they heard the ice shatter. "I...have had....enough.....OF YOU PESTS!" King Soul slashed his sword at the group and cried, "BLACK MOON STRIKE!" A whip of black energy lashed across the Scouts, Koaru and Nicholas, sending them all into the wall. "Ouch!" Sailor Moon cried as she got up, "I've had enough of you Soul." Saying this, she pulled out the Impearium Silver Crystal! "MOON...COSMIC....POW-" "Not so fast!" King Soul said as he blasted Sailor Moon with another black energy beam. Serena screamed as she was blasted back into the wall. "Say goodbye, Princess!" said King Soul as he blasted two beams at Sailor Moon. "That much energy will kill her!" Sailor Mars gasped. "NO!" Nicholas yelled as he jumped in the path of the lethal beams.
"NICK!" Darien cried from across the room as he watched helplessly as the beams struck his brother. "That's one down," King Soul laughed as Nicholas' body dropped to the ground, "now to finish you, Princess!" King Soul then raised his hands, aiming them at Serena, "Now, good-by-AAAHHHHHH!" "Shut-up and die, you damn bastard." Shadow Mercury had thrust his katanas through King Soul's knees and into the floor, pinning him in place. "Serena, he's all yours." Sailor Moon wiped the tears from her eyes and raised the crystal. "Right," she said as the crystal began to glow pure white. Sailor Moon closed her eyes, "Moon...Cosmic...Power!" The crystal exploded with white energy, sending it all at King Soul. "I'll be back," King Soul vowed as the energy dissolved him, "I'll return...and destroy...you...all..." King Soul's crown clattered to the floor.
"That took way too long." Mina said as they all sighed in relief. Nicholas was on the floor, and Darien was kneeling next to him. "Bro.....I'm sorry." Darien said. "There's...nothing...to be s..sorry...about...." Nicholas replied. "You and s..s..Serena will make a gr..great.....couple.....little...bro..." Darien's eyes widened. "You knew?" Nicholas smiled. "It was..easy to...figure out with...h..how willing...y...y...you were to save her..." Serena blinked back tears and Darien closed his eyes. "Life...long...Darien..." With these words, Prince Titan Nicholas passed away, leaving his friends an everlasting memory of him.
there. now we enter the final stage of the story.

Chapter 23: Battle of Numbers
"Hey you two, are you ever going to stop and breathe?" Lita asked as Koaru and Amy were embraced in a kiss. "Hey Lita, be nice," Serena said, "Koaru just got back from the battle fields." "He was only gone for two weeks!" Lita continued. "Yea," Koaru started, "but a day away from my Amy is like a year to me." "Suck up" Lita replied under her breath. "So, are we winning?" Mina asked Koaru as they walked to the castle. "I don't know, especially since we don't even know who is sending the monsters. It is almost like they are coming from thin air."
meanwhile on the Black Moon...
"Are we ready to attack yet?" asked the tall figure to young man kneeling in front of her. "Almost, Queen Beryl, almost." responded Jedite, who had joined the Negaverse some weeks earlier after being left on the field for dead. "The armies of the Inner Planets are all waiting for the next attack on Neptune. Their home planets are defenseless." "Excellent," Queen Beryl said as she sat down on King Souls newly repaired throne, "we attack Jupiter after our next wave on Neptune."
on the battlefields of Neptune...
"It's too quite, ya know?" Glave asked Koaru as they sat in their tent, waiting for something to happen. "I was just thinking that myself," Koaru replied, "that, and what Amy's reaction to her Christmas gift that I sent her." he added with a smile. "If all goes well, we should both be back in time for Christmas." Glave replied, his thoughts now on his girlfriend back on Saturn (he and Raye had broken up, long story). He pulled out a small box from his pocket, "Do you think she will like this ring?" Koaru looked at the grape sized diamond on the ring. "I don't think she will complain." he replied.
Jedite sat on the west side of the valley, overlooking the armies encampment. "They are off guard," he thought, "now is the time."
The lookouts were the first to be struck, falling as they shouted warnings to the sleeping base. Koaru rushed out of his tent at the noise. "Oh...shit." he said as he saw the wall that was advancing toward the base. "Glave, wake the others!" Koaru shouted as he ran to the monsters, pulling his crystal dagger from his pocket.
The monsters heard the lone solider shout to another as he ran towards them. 'No problem' they all thought, watching the figure get closer to them. However, the flash of light that cut down twenty of them was what made them realize the danger that this lone human posed to them.
"That got their attention," Shadow Mercury said to himself as he watched the group of demons that he aimed his Crescent Blade attack at vanished under a wave of green and blue blood. Then the demons started to rain arrows and energy blasts at him and at the base. Koaru flinched at the sound of his fellow soldiers dying behind him as they tried to help him. The demons were advancing behind their merciless attack, and soon they were cutting the humans down one by one. Shadow Mercury was starting to grow tired as he minced what seemed to be the thousandth demon when Glave and Greg appeared to give him aid. "How many of these mother fuc*ers are there?!" Greg asked as he slashed one after the other. "Too many!" Glave replied as he cut one fifty-fifty.
Jedite watched the battle from the hill with satisfaction. The Inner army was all but destroyed, only a dozen or so remained, while hundreds more demons were charging down the hill. "It will soon be all over." he smiled as he said these words. "The Inner Planets are ours for the taking.
"Mercury Icicle Impalement!" Shadow Mercury jabbed the tip of his blade into the earth and spikes of ice erupted from the ground, skewering all demons in its path. Then he saw Glave jump behind him, and heard him scream. "Glave!" Koaru yelled as he turned to see that his friend had taken an arrow meant for him. "Greg! Get down!" he yelled as he sheathed his Crescent Blade and grabbed a katana. "Tritus Celestial Array!" bright red blades of energy flew from his sword and obliterated any demon that they touched. Then Koaru turned to Glave. "Where did they get you?" he asked. "It doesn’t matter," Glave replied, "I've already been cut a few times. Just promise me something." "Don't you talk like that," Koaru said, "you're gonna make it." "Cut the crap," Glave said, "I know that it is a lie. Just promise me that you will give her this." he then handed the little box to Koaru. "I will do my best." Koaru said. Glave then smiled, closed his eyes, and breathed his last.
"Time to finish the rest of them." Jedite said. "Crush every last one of them!"
"Koaru! We gotta go!" Greg yelled, "We gotta get the hell outta here!" "Greg...catch." Koaru threw the box to him and turned to meet the oncoming horde of monsters. "What the fuc...Koaru! What are you doing?!?!" Koaru turned to face Greg, his eyes solemn, yet serious. "You go. I'll buy you time to escape. Don't worry," he added as Greg started to object, "I plan to see you again in this life. Now go." Greg hesitated, then ran as fast as he could. "I will not lose to these freaks." Koaru thought to himself. The monsters were ten feet away. He drew his giant sword, and rushed in.
three days later...
Everyone was standing around the portal outside of the Moon Palace, waiting to see their friends and loved ones. The portal then glowed and a lone figure emerged. He was tattered, bloody, and had a look of complete shock in his eyes. Two people stood out the most for the man, and he walked to them. "Yuna," Greg said to the girl who was standing next to Lita, "Glave died in combat. He wanted you to have this. I'm sorry." he added as Yuna dissolved into tears as she took the box. He then turned to Amy. "Princess Mercury," he started, "Koaru stayed to buy the few survivors time to escape. We went back the next day, but...there was no sign of him.
dah dah dah!!! XD there, now i'll leave you all ahnging for a few days XD

here is a cliffhanger for you all XD
Chapter 24: The Beginning of the End
Three weeks passed and Amy remained in her room, not speaking to anyone. She wasn't the only one either. Serena was spaced out most of the time, for the loss of Koaru was like the loss of a brother to her. Queen Serenity was depressed since he had been like a son to her. Luna and Artemis were always trying to cheer them up. "They never found his body," Luna always said, "so there is a chance that he is alive."
Amy was sleeping when the fire started. She woke to see smoke billowing from the door. She quickly dressed and rushed out to see devastation in the halls. People were running about in a panicked rush, some were on fire, others, dead. An explosion outside the walls brought her back to her senses. She quickly ran outside and say a small gathering of demons slaughtering the few who had made it outside. Beyond them, the entire planet as far as she could see was on fire. Amy wasted no time pulling out her wand and crying, "MERCURY POWER!" Sailor Mercury ran at the demons, drawing her power and freezing them in a block of ice. Suddenly she was blasted forwards. Regaining her footing, she turned to see a woman in a plum purple dress standing above a dead servant. The lady's blood red hair reached her shoulders, and she carried a staff with a red gem set into it. Greg came running from the barracks, fully armed and he placed himself between the stranger and Sailor Mercury. "You," Amy started, "you know what happened to Koaru." The woman looked shocked, then she smiled. "Yes, I do know what happened to him." she said in an icy voice. "He ran away from the fight, so I destroyed him." "Liar!" Greg roared, "Koaru would rather die than run from a fight! Give proof! Bitch!" The lady seemed unaffected by the insult, and summoned a demon forward. Both Greg and Sailor Mercury gasped. In the demons hands was the Sword of Light. "The blast that struck him was so powerful," the woman began, "that this was all that was left." She started to laugh, when the demon suddenly vanished in it's own blood. "This sword doesn't belong to you." Amy said as she took the blade and backed away. "Princess Mercury," Greg began, "we have to leave. The entire planet has been conquered. We must give aid to the Moon. Sailor Mercury stood her ground, so Greg grabbed her and they both teleported to the Moon. "One down," the woman said to herself, "and six to go."
After three weeks all of the Inner Planets had been conquered except for the Moon, and Earth. Everyone in the Moon Palace was silent. Raye, Lita and Mina had watched their loved ones die in battle. Darien had moved to the Moon to be with Serena and in case of another attack on the planet. Queen Serenity was always carrying the Impearium Silver Crystal. Word that Jedite had turned traitor had spread fast since the last battle. Serena was trying to cheer up her friends when Darien and Greg entered the room. "How was the patrol?" Serena asked them as they sat down. "There isn't so much as a caterpillar out there." Darien answered. "It's quite unnerving." Greg added. Everyone looked at him except Amy. Greg walked over to Lita. "What is wrong with her?" he asked.
"She just opened a package that Koaru had sent before he..." Lita trailed off, then regained herself. "He sent her an engagement ring." Greg looked stunned, the looked over at Amy and saw that she did have a ring on her finger, and she was staring at it, almost mesmerized. She looked on the verge of tears. "The last thing we need is an attack." Greg said.
at Moon Canyon...
Jedite looked around him and smiled to himself. The army was three times the size of the one that had destroyed the army at Neptune. "Now to let them know that we are here." he said. He summoned a sphere of black energy into his hand and hurled it at the Palace.
The explosion shook the Palace to it's foundations. The army was already charging towards the Canyon by the time Darien, Greg, and the Sailor Scouts were ready to go. "This couldn't have come at a worse time!" Greg yelled as they ran to the battle. "Yes it could have," Mina replied, "you weren't in the bathroom when the blast hit!" When they all arrived, they were speechless. The army was huge. Larger than King Soul's army had been. They shook their fear from their thoughts and charged into the battle. "Mercury...Aqua...Mirage!" Sailor Mercury's newest attack froze and shattered all the demons that it touched. "Mars...Firebird...Strike!" Sailor Mars' colossal firebird incinerated a dozen of the demons. "Sailor Venus," a solider called, "the demons have a line formation advancing from the West!" Mina turned and saw the demons marching in single file. She grinned to herself and pointed her index finger at the line and called her attack. "Venus Crescent Beam Smash!" The laser-like beam of light sliced the demons in half. "This will take forever!" a survivor from Jupiter named Seifer called as he slashed three demons to pieces using his three-sword technique. "Tell me something we don't know!" Sailor Jupiter called at him. "HEADS UP!" Greg yelled as a huge sphere of energy flew at them, and created a crater the size of a football stadium. The remainder of the army pulled themselves back up and saw the same woman that had led the attacks on their home planets advancing toward them. "You...bitch." Sailor Moon growled as the woman stopped eight yards from them. The woman smiled and pointed her staff a them. At the tip of the staff, energy was starting to collect. "RUN! SHE'S POWERING UP ANOTHER METEOR!" Seifer yelled as he started to run. Just as the energy was released, a red blade of energy struck the woman in the back, slicing her open, but not killing her. She fell forward as she screamed in agony, blood gushing from the wound. The Sailor Scouts heard footsteps behind them, and the turned around and attacked with their all. Their attacks all collided with the figure behind them, but suddenly froze in mid-air. "That was a little rude." the person said. The energy shrunk into a small ball in the figure's hand. Then they all saw his face. "Oh...my...God." Sailor Mercury whispered in disbelief.

kidding. here is the next one. Chapter 25: Return of Death
Koaru smiled as threw the energy sphere at a group of demons, who vanished from existence in a flash. "We...we thought..." Sailor Mars stuttered as Koaru approached them. Koaru seemed not to hear her as he walked past them all. He approached the woman as she stood up and used her magic to heal herself. "It's been awhile," Koaru said to her, "it's good to see you again...Queen Beryl. She stared at him with wide eyes, then she smiled. "That's where I saw you before. You're the brat the Soul brought back to convert."
Darien stepped forward. "I should have known," he said, "Queen Beryl." Koaru rolled his eyes, "Dude," he started," even I figured it out." Queen Beryl suddenly struck the group with a blast of energy that threw them all in different directions. Koaru landed and flew straight at Beryl before she even finished her attack. He gathered energy into his right fist and struck out at her, connected, and sent her for a fifty yard fly. As Queen Beryl got to her feet, Koaru blasted her with a barrage of energy spheres. As Beryl shielded herself from the onslaught, he charged in behind his last few blasts and struck her with another energy fist.
Beryl struggled to her feet as Koaru picked up a sword from a fallen solider and poured his power into the blade. Queen Beryl's eyes widened in shock as Koaru started to say an incantation under his breathe. "You can't..." she stuttered, "you can't use that attack without...no! You can't have a Shadow Scar!" Koaru slammed his palm against the flat of the sword as he finished the incantation. The blade started to glow a dark purple/black/green color as he positioned it behind his back at an angle. "Got it in one." he said in a steel-cold voice that sent shivers up the spines of all that heard him. The sword burned pure black with dark energy as Koaru sliced the air, crying out "Nega...Armageddon...Death Scythe!", and sent a burning arch of black fire that just stunk of death. Queen Beryl screamed as the fire washed over her. There was a flash of light where she stood, and she reappeared ten feet from where the fire imploded the ground where she had just stood.
Beryl was tattered and barely alive as she stood there glaring at the small group. "You..." she growled, "you...little...BASTARD!" As she screamed this, she blasted Koaru with an energy sphere that caught him off-guard. The blast sent him to the edge of Moon Canyon, where he scrambled to his feet, only to receive another blast to the chest. Koaru was shot right off of the edge of the cliff, and as he clawed at the air, he managed to grab the edge of the cliff face. Beryl roared in anger as she gathered a colossal amount of energy and shot it straight at where Koaru's hand was visible. "NOOO!" Sailor Mercury cried as the cliff edge blew apart in an explosion to rival that of a nuke.
Queen Beryl retreated right after her last attack. Koaru was confirmed dead by six Shadow Warriors who had gone to the bottom of the canyon to check right after the battle. They could not get his body then, they had told the Scouts, but they would as soon as they could. Amy was destroyed. She had lost Koaru and found him again, only to loose him again, and she had been unable to do anything. She had not spoken since that day, and it had been two weeks already. The others were starting to get worried about her, and rarely left her alone. Amy also wore the Shadow Crystal with her at all times, as well as the engagement ring. "We have to do something," Serena said one morning, "or else we may loose Amy in the next battle." She had no idea how close her prediction was.

and just cause i am generous. Chapter 26: War and Peace...Yeah Right
Two days later a roar was heard in the middle of the night. Warriors were rushing to the barracks, messengers were requesting reinforcements, and commanders were organizing their troops for the battle. The only one in the entire area who wasn't moving was Princess Mercury. "I wish she would wake up." Mina said as she and Raye watched Amy sleep. "Me too," Raye replied, "we need her strength."
"Koaru." The name echoed in Amy's sleep. "Koaru, why?" Her thoughts were clouded with his face. "Why did you have to leave me? Why did you die? Is it that...do you not love me anymore? Did you die to get away from me?" Amy could feel her eyes fill with tears as she continued to watch her memories of Koaru float past. "No, that is not true." Amy's heart skipped a beat. "K..koaru?" She knew that the voice belonged to her love, but she couldn't see him anymore. "Amy, I don't understand how, but I will see you again soon." The faded away the longer she listened. "Koaru...? Koaru! Come back!" An earthshaking crash woke her up as she screamed.
Amy sat up and saw Mina and Raye both staring at her with looks of shock. "Amy," Mina started, "I wanted you to wake up, but was that scream needed?" Another crash followed by a mixture of screams and yells came from outside the Palace window.
The three of them ran to look out. There was a large army of demons, but that was not the problem. There was a Creeper. Only this one was six times larger than the last one. "Oh...God." Raye said as they watched the beast crush the walls surrounding the Palace as though they were made of glass. "Lets go." Mina and Raye spun around and stared at Amy, shocked that she had finally spoken, and by what she had said. "Amy, are you feeling alright?" Mina asked as they followed her out of the room. "Yes, I'm fine." she snapped back at them, "Now lets hurry."
"Moon Tiara...Magic!" Sailor Moon's attack sliced several demons on it's leave and return trip. "GRRRAHHH!" Darien roared as he sliced a Yoma in half and turned to face another. Seifer charged six Yoma, his two swords in each hand and his one sword in his mouth made him look more dangerous than he was. "Tri Blade Strike!" The triple sword technique diced the demons to pieces. "I am getting tired of this shit!" he yelled as he charged another dozen of the ugly S.O.B's. "Jupiter Thunder...Dragon!" The attack of Sailor Jupiter made dozens of Yoma drop. "And stay down!" she yelled in a heat-of-the-moment rage. "There are too many!" Greg yelled as he was charged by six or more demons. As he backed away, he tripped and the Yoma took their chance to attack. Just as their claws came down, they froze in midair. Confused, Greg looked around and saw that Sailor Mercury was back in the fighting business. "Mars Flame...Sniper!" "Venus Meteor...Strike!" The twin attacks made dozens of demons vanish from the land of the living. "Amy! Look out!" Sailor Moon screamed as she watched four Yoma strike her friend from behind. Sailor Mercury screamed in pain as she fell to the ground. As she lay there, she heard the demons charge in for the final blow. "So, is this what you meant?" Amy thought to herself. "Is this what you meant by 'I'll see you again soon? Did you know that I would die now?" She could feel the breeze created by the Yoma's attack as they closed in. "No, Amy. Your time is not now." Sailor Mercury gasped at the sound of his voice. "K...ko...koaru?" she whispered. Then she heard the demons scream and felt blood start to cover her back. But, she felt no pain. She turned and sat up to see that all the demons were dead, sliced to pieces by a sword. "You aren't ready to die yet." Amy turned, looked at the person behind her, and blinked. "Who are you?" she asked.
The figure dashed from one end of the Palace grounds to the other, and back again, slashing all the demons that could be reached by his swords. Soon all that was left was the Creeper. Seifer was battling it as the stranger flew at the Creeper. The Creeper took a great swipe with it's claw and struck both Seifer and the shady figure. Both were thrown across the grounds, Seifer landing in what remained of the fountain. The stranger landed next to him and checked him. Seifer looked at the person and gasped "You...who are you?". Without an answer, the figure charged the Creeper again, drawing two swords that started to glow with a bright blue energy. The figure leapt at the Creeper, dodged it's claw, and thrust both blades into the monsters chest. The Creeper roared in agony, grabbed the figure and threw it through the nearest wall. No sooner had the stranger crashed through the wall that it flew back out, and leapt to the top of the nearest tower. Everyone squinted their eyes to see properly as to what was going on. The figure was gathering an impossible amount of energy into it's right hand. Suddenly, it dove right off of the tower, straight at the Creeper.
"He's crazy!" Sailor Jupiter gasped as she watched while she and the others tended to Sailor Mercury and the wounded soldiers. They all watched as the energy in his right hand suddenly took shape into a long spear with a giant blade on the opposite side of the spearhead. "That..." Sailor Moon started, "is a weapon that Koaru would have killed for." The others silently agreed.
Plummeting toward the gigantic Creeper, the man recited an incantation to himself
as he neared his target. He then lunged, striking the blade through the Creeper's head,
"Adios, you piece of shit." he said as the spell ripped the Creeper apart from the inside out.

Chapter 27: A New Hero
As the bloody remains of the giant monster crashed around the Scouts and Warriors. The cloaked figure landed behind them, the giant weapon dissipating as he approached. Greg and Darien rushed in front of the Scouts, swords drawn. Sailor Moon rushed in front of them. "What are you two doing?" she asked, "he just saved our lives!" Darien looked at her, a look of concern in his eyes. "Can't be to careful Serena." he responded. The cloaked figure chuckled, and Sailor Venus noticed it sounded like a guy. "I don't blame you for being cautious." he said, “but I am not your enemy.” Greg raised his sword, “then honor us with your name, ally.” The man bowed, “You my call me Kadajh. I am a mercenary from Tritus.”
“What?” Sailor Mercury screamed, making the others jump. “I thought that Koaru was the only survivor of Tritus!” Kadajh chuckled. “No, our prince was not the only one. Only I am the last survivor of Tritus, since I heard that my prince has passed on.” Amy hung her head and started to have silent tears fall to the ground. She then turned and ran back to the Palace. Greg glared at Kadajh, “You didn’t have to sound so full of yourself!” he yelled before running after Amy. The others also lost their liking for the man. Darien stepped forward. “You may join our cause, but you are not welcome with the Scouts or myself. Got it?” Kadajh bowed again. “Understood. I didn’t mean to cause you discomfort.”
After the battle, only four of the Shadow Warriors were left to recover Koaru’s body. They were just finishing the climb down when they heard the sounds of Yoma. “Shit, we really don’t need this.” They silently made their way to where Koaru’s body had been, only to stop in shock. “What the hell?” “Who….who did it?” “We better get back to the Palace, now.”
Amy, Mina and Raye were eating in the kitchen when Kadajh walked in and started to eat everything he could grab. Amy leaned over to Raye, “Has he ever removed that hood?” she asked, watching the food vanishing into the hood with sounds of eating and breathing. Raye shook her head.
The four Shadow Warriors ran into the kitchen, almost took down Mina in their hurry, then faced Amy. “Princess! Koaru, his body is….well….gone!” Amy gasped and Kadajh paused in his ravaging meal to listen. Raye noticed and yelled at him. “You! You know something about this, don’t you?” Kadajh shook his head and left the room. “Even if I did, I wouldn’t tell a bunch of brats like you.” Raye glared at Kadajh as he left the room. “Bastard.” she said under her breathe.
Deep within Moon Canyon, Queen Beryl had regrouped her army. Jedite walked forward, ready to report. “They are of guard. If we strike now, we will crush them out of existence.” Beryl nodded her head and smiled. “We attack at dawn, and we leave nothing left!” The Yoma all cheered and roared in excitement, knowing that in three hours, they would spill the blood of hundreds of humans.

hey hey hey! long time, no chapter! been busy as heck, but here it is!
Chapter 28: The Final Battle Begins
Amy and Greg were training in front of the remains of the fountain, watched by Serena, Darien and Siefer. "Ok now, Amy, try again." Amy held the sword and struck the ground. "Mercury Icicle Impalement!" she cried, and a bunch of tiny icicles burst through the ground, only surrounding the ground up to three feet around her. Greg sighed, "Amy, if you want to master Koaru's technique, you need to focus harder. Its not in the knowledge, but in the energy and power you put into it." Amy nodded her head, then struck the ground again. This time, the icicles were eight feet high, and covered a distance of five feet. The others cheered, but Serena leaned over to Darien. "I hate to say this, but I think Greg is trying to take Koaru's place in Amy's life." Darien frowned, and nodded his head.
Jedite and about two hundred Yoma marched up to the gates. The guards called out warnings, and the army started to assemble. The Scouts were the first to start fighting, followed by several warriors and then the army. The entire Palace was son filled with the sounds of war and death, and it made the Scouts scared, though they didn't show it as they continued to fight. As the battle continued, the Yoma numbers continued to rise, but, the number of humans dropped, and the Moon Warriors began to lose hope. "Jesus Christ! How many of these bastards are there?" Siefer yelled as he slashed three demons at once and turned to face another five. "How should I know?" Sailor Venus yelled as she jumped backwards to avoid a demons claw.
Kadajh ran into the battle, searching for the one person he wanted to fight. Jedite jumped in front of him, sword drawn. "Well well, who have we here?" he asked as he sized up Kadajh. "I am not interested in fighting you, traitor." Kadajh replied. Jedite lunged forward and swung at Kadajh, who jumped up, landed and kicked off of Jedite’s face, breaking his nose, and drew a sword. "Tritus Sealing Slash!" A white sphere shot off of the blade and surrounded Jedite and he vanished, just like King Soul after the power of the Impearium Silver Crystal struck him. Kadajh smiled under his hood. "Heh, not so tough after all, eh old friend?" he then sheathed his blade and continued his search, killing each Yoma that got in his way.
Sailor Mercury ran around the battlefield, aiding each soldier that was outnumbered or wounded. She had just finished killing six demons when two demons struck her from behind. She fell forward, but managed to keep her footing and turned to face her attackers, drawing the sword she had practiced with. She slashed the first demon, and it fell to the ground, screaming as it died. She then swung at the second one, which dodged the attack and slashed her arm, and she dropped to her knees, dropped the sword, and grabbed her arm, which was bleeding like a waterfall. The demon leapt in for the kill when it suddenly opened down the middle, and landed on either side of Amy. "Never underestimate your enemy, Amy." Kadajh said as he helped her to her feet and used his power to heal her wound. He then ran off, leaving a dust trail behind him. Amy watched him run then recalled something, a motto she had been taught by a close friend. "Never underestimate your enemy, and never overestimate your own abilities." Sailor Mercury picked up the sword and ran after Kadajh.
Darien and Sailor Moon stood back to back, fighting off the Yoma as they attacked the couple. Siefer and Sailor Jupiter were running around together, killing everything within their range, with Sailor Venus and Mars aiding the last of the soldiers. Kadajh had run into a guard tower, closely followed by Sailor Mercury.
"Serena, are you alright?" Daren asked as she grunted while throwing her tiara at some Yoma. "I'll be fine, Darien. You look after yourself."
"Lita, can you get those Yoma on the balcony?" Sailor Jupiter looked up and sent a thunder ball at the balcony, blasting it to pieces and killing each demon on and under it. "Like that?" she asked, smiling. Siefer shook his head in disbelief.
"Raye, these men need more help." Sailor Venus said as she and Sailor Mars started to treat their injuries and fend off the small waves of Yoma that came their way. "Bless you, princesses, bless you." one of the soldiers said as Mina healed the injuries to his arm, leg and chest.
Kadajh burst through the door at the top of the tower, noticing that the roog and walls had been blasted off. Standing in the center of the...remains...of the tower was Queen Beryl, holding her staff, watching him with angry eyes, a smile on her face. "Your friend should watch where she runs, you know." she said, and instantly Sailor Mercury's screams echoed through the doorway. "Damn you, witch." Kadajh growled.
Sailor Mercury had just seen light around the corner when she was grabbed from behind by three pairs of claws. She did what any fourteen year old girl would...she screamed her lungs out.

and another!
Chapter 29: The Sacrifice of the Scar
Kadajh rushed in, blades drawn, ready to kill the demons that had attacked Amy. Beryl took advantage of his turned back to throw some energy balls at him. He spun around, deflected the attacks, and ran into the stairwell.
Sailor Mercury was trying to fight off the Yoma, who were clawing her, ripping her outfit, drawing blood from her arms and chest, and she fought harder. Then she looked up, and saw Kadajh slash at the closest demon, beheading it, then plunged his swords into the gut of the second demon, then slashed out, ripping the Yoma in half. The third started to run back down the stairs, but Kadajh threw a energy dagger into the back of it's head. The demons corpse rolled down the stairs, leaving a trail of green blood in it's wake.
"You got a habit of getting into trouble." Kadajh said as he checked Amy's injuries. Sailor Mercury nodded her head, then paused. "How do you know? You have only known me a few days." Kadajh fell silent, then rushed back up the stairs. "That guy..." she thought before running after him.
Queen Beryl watched Kadajh run back out of the stairwell, and shot a large sphere of energy at him. He sliced it in half, and continued to run at her. She tightened her grip on her staff, and the fight began.
Sailor Mercury paused at the top of the stairs, and watched the battle. Kadajh leapt above Beryl and shot a blue beam of energy at her from his blade. Beryl jumped aside, rose her staff, and shot dozens of black spheres at him, which he started to swat away with his swords. One of the deflected balls flew at Amy, and she jumped out of the stairwell and stood beside the remains of the wall (think a plain stone platform with some jagged rock walls ranging from 2-5 feet in height around the platform. Remember, it once was a guard tower...and still is...in a way.) and watched at Beryl swung at Kadajh, who ducked down an knocked her staff out of her hands, and off of the tower.
Beryl then grabbed at Kadajh, who ducked and slashed at her legs. Beryl leapt backwards, and took Kadajh's Crescent sword. "Hey! That's my favorite blade!" he yelled as Beryl figured out how to hold it. "If you love it," she taunted, "then come and get it." Kadajh rushed at her and swung with both blades at her head, and she did what he least expected...she grabbed them. "What?!" he said as blood poured from the cuts on her hand, then he saw it...he was wide open. She swung at his head, and he ducked, the blade catching the hood of his cloak, and it was ripped off. Beryl swung again, and he pulled his blades free, and the Crescent blade cut his cloak down the middle.
Sailor Mercury watched as the tattered remains of the cloak fell to the ground, and she saw it all. The sword sheaths on his back for the Crescent blade and the giant six-by-two sword still strapped in place. The long black hair tied back in a ponytail, reaching his thighs, and the mark: the inverted pentagram with the demon eye center. "Impossible..." she whispered.
Queen Beryl took several steps back...eyes widened in shock. She tripped over some rubble, and she landed on her ass. She struggled back to her feet, and raised the blade again, arms trembling. "You! How are you alive? Tell me!!! I killed you!" Koaru slowly rose to his feet, his eyes, the storm blue eyes with the black and silver ying-yang pupils, the Yingkorogan, glowing in the twilight of the sky. "You killed me, and I returned. I don't know how, or why, but I will use my second chance to protect those important to me." Beryl looked at Koaru, then looked past him, to Sailor Mercury, standing near the edge, looking…so cute...so...helpless. It disgusted her. She looked back at Koaru, smiling. "So, you want to protect the people important to you?" She started to gather energy in her left hand, and Koaru tensed up. Beryl looked at him, her eyes flashing dangerously. "Then you can start right now!" she threw the energy past Koaru, who turned to watch its progress, then his blood chilled.
Sailor Mercury screamed as the energy crashed into her, and blasted her backwards into the remains of the wall, and through it. She felt the gravity take over as she plummeted down, starting the 500 foot drop to the ground.
"You f**king BITCH!!" Koaru yelled as he threw both katanas at Beryl, which struck through her arms (think...needle through thread) and she screamed in pain. Koaru ran at her, and ran up her, his hands grabbing the handles of his swords, and pulling them up and out through her shoulders (cutting her arms up through the middle like a piece of wood) and leapt off the side of the tower falling after Sailor Mercury, about 75 feet below him.
Sailor Mercury watched as Koaru flew towards her, the two katanas falling behind him and off to the sides. "Amy!! Reach!!" he yelled as he neared her. She reached out, and he grabbed her hand, and pulled her close into a hug. "Now is not the time for this..." Amy said as they continued to fall. "True” he said. He drew the giant sword with his right arm and struck it into the tower wall, and they came to an immediate stop with a sharp jolt. Sailor Mercury reached out and grabbed the handle of the sword, and she and Koaru hung, face-to-face, 350 feet above the ground. Koaru looked around, and spotted a window three feet above where the sword had struck. "Amy, can you reach that window?" he asked as he tightened his grip on the handle. Amy saw it and nodded. "I think so." (note: the blade is in the thin way, the sharp ends are out to the sides, so it is like a little balance beam) Amy started to pull herself up when middle of the blade cracked. Amy screamed as she lost her grip and fell, and Koaru grabbed her hand and pulled her back up to the sword handle, which she grabbed onto. "Shit...this complicates things..." Koaru said as he tried to think. The crack spread, and the sword started to tilt. Amy looked a Koaru, tears filling her eyes as she panicked. "Koaru...what do we do?" she asked, her voice shaking. Koaru only closed his eyes smiling. "Amy, we don't do anything." Amy looked into his eyes, totally lost. He then leaned forward and kissed her, eyes closed. Amy closed her eyes also, and she knew, they were going to die together. "Live long, and remember, I love you." Amy's eyes snapped open just as Koaru let go of the sword, tears filling his eyes as he fell. "Nooooooo!!" Amy screamed reaching with one hand for him, watching him fall, watching till the dull thud was heard as his body crashed into the ground.
Sailor Moon was breathless. She, Mina, Lita, Siefer and Darien were standing over Koaru's body, each of them speechless, not knowing what to think. The Yoma had retreated back outside the walls, but the humans were still outnumbered six-to-one. Greg had run up the tower, and now he and Sailor Mercury exited the tower. Amy looked ready to vomit or faint, and the others couldn't blame her. Sailor Moon told some soldiers to carry Koaru's body over to the rest of the dead, then she looked at everyone. "Alright," she said, "now this is personal." The others silently agreed in their own way. For Amy, it was to cry.

another....yeah.
Chapter 30: The End of Both Armies
The Scouts had no time to rest. Beryl had healed her arms and was now ordering another attack on the Palace. Sailor Mercury looked at Koaru's curse mark, and noticed that it was glowing. "Hey you guys, what is this?" the others looked at the scar, and couldn't understand it. Darien couldn't waste time. "We have to leave. If we don't, we will not have time to prepare for the next attack." The others agreed, and they all went to help the last of the soldiers heal their wounds and get their weapons.
Queen Beryl looked at the army that remained; only eight hundred Yoma left. "Not enough..." she said, then turned and opened a small portal to the Black Moon. A shadowy image appeared in the portal. "What is it?" the figure asked, sounding irritated. "I have run low on Yoma warriors. I need the Shadow Demons." The figure's eyes glowed red, then six hundred of the demons behind vanished in a blaze of black fire. Six black demons appeared, their bodies covered in black fire, their eyes glowing red, each with a bloodlust. "Good. Now, let us destroy the castle and all the humans inside!"
The Scouts were already starting the counter attack when the remaining soldiers arrived at the breach. Greg and Siefer fought side by side, while Darien and Serena once again fought back to back. Sailor Jupiter and Sailor Venus had gained a vantage point on a tower, and were now picking off the Yoma six by eight. Sailor Mercury was holding Koaru's katanas and was protecting the bodies of the dead, while Sailor Mars was burning dozens of Yoma with each of her attacks. "Well, we are winning!" one of the soldiers yelled as he watched the end of the demons appear. "That’s weird," Sailor Jupiter said, "there were over six hundred Yoma at the end of the last battle, now there are less than two hundred...make that one hundred." she added as she struck eight more Yoma down with a Thunder Dragon. Venus nodded her head in agreement.
Queen Beryl entered the grounds, and saw that the Scouts had finished the last of her Yoma. She then saw Greg and Siefer rush at her, each ready to kill her. "Hmmm..." she smiled, "Child's play." she raised her hand, and it glowed black with dark fire, then suddenly Siefer and Greg's clothes and flesh were incinerated, leaving only their skeletons to clatter to the ground. Sailor Mercury watched from the side, and her blood chilled and her breathe caught in her chest. Beryl then turned her sights to Sailor Moon, who was facing her, Darien off to the side tending to a wounded soldier. "Die, Princess!" she yelled as she shot a beam of energy at Sailor Moon.
Sailor Moon screamed as the beam shot at her, then she jumped as Darien jumped in front of her, facing her. Then he tensed up and cried in pain as the beam struck him in the back. "Darien!!" she screamed as he collapsed into her arms, and she looked over him, and her eyes filled with tears. The point of impact had burned a hole through his spine, and he now lay dead in her arms, blood seeping from the hole. Serena cried, tears pouring down her face.
Sailor Jupiter and Venus leapt off the tower and landed next to Sailor Mars, who was in a state of shock at the death of their friends. "Damn it, Raye, we gotta move!" Lita shouted as she grabbed Sailor Mars around the waist and pulled her towards Sailor Moon. Sailor Venus had already run over to Sailor Mercury and they were both already running over to Serena, who was still sobbing uncontrollably over Darien’s body. The others attempted to separate Serena from the corpse, and after many struggles, managed to get her to release the body and follow them to the inside of the castle.
Beryl watched the Scouts retreat into the Palace, then turned to watch the few dozen soldiers who remained. "Shadow Yoma, have some fun." The six demons rushed in and had a blood fest as they slaughtered the soldiers like lambs. Beryl smiled and laughed, then gave the order. "Yoma! After the Scouts! Bathe in their blood!" The Yoma rushed into the Palace, and Beryl smiled.
"Is anyone in here?!" Sailor Jupiter called as she and the other four ran through the Palace, searching for survivors. They burst into the throne room and saw Queen Serenity, Artemis and Luna sitting around the throne, all three looking relieved to see the Scouts alive. "Serena." Queen Serenity got up and rushed over to her daughter, embracing her, stroking her hair, tears flowing from her eyes. Luna and Artemis both rose to their feet. "Are we to retreat?" Luna asked. Serenity nodded her head. "Yes. Go now and hide. I will find you after the battle." The two bowed, then rushed out of the room.
Sailor Moon looked at her mother, wondering what was going on. "Serena, I must go and hide till I have enough energy to use the Crystal's full power. Can you buy me some time?" Sailor Moon nodded her head, and the other Scouts agreed as well. "Alright." Serenity rushed out of the room. Serena turned and faced the others. "Lets go."
The Shadow Yoma gathered outside the throne room, and then burst in with lightning speed. They found the room...empty. Then they found themselves being blasted out of the window, and facing a 50 foot drop. They got back up and saw their prey rushing out of the Palace, and they readied themselves for the battle.

nother......boy we are near the end now.
Chapter 31: The Senshi's Last Stand
"Let's drag this fight out, ok girls?" Sailor Moon shouted as they all rushed in, ready fight. Serena carried Darien's sword with her, and she slashed at the nearest demon, which leapt back and threw black energy spheres at her. She ducked and brought the sword up just in time to block the demon's claw from entering her face.
"Die you bitch!" Lita shouted as she swung two of Siefer's katanas at her Yoma, which clawed at the blades and blocked them. She then cut down at the demons head, and it grabbed the blades in it's palms, and Lita couldn't move the swords. "You don't listen to well, do you?"
Sailor Venus shot a barrage of Beam Smashes at the Shadow Yoma she was fighting, and it kept on dodging them. "Hold still, Damn it!" she yelled as she continued to attack.
Sailor Mars summoned a sword of fire and was attempting to behead her opponent when it slashed her across the arm and she fell down, and rolled away just as the other claw struck the ground where her head had been two seconds earlier. "Jesus, don't want to get hit by you again." she said as she regained her footing.
Sailor Mercury wielded both of Koaru's katanas and was fighting the Yoma that had attacked her with rage. She had yet to hit it, but it wasn't in any rush to get too close to her. "This is for Koaru, you devil!" she cried as she continued to slash at the demon.
Over at the pile of dead soldiers, the last Shadow Yoma had wandered over to have a little snack on the remains of a human. As it looked through the bodies, it noticed that one of them had a tattoo that was glowing. It made the mistake of getting to close to the tattoo. The Shadow Scar erupted with energy, and the Yoma was suddenly sliced in half. Koaru got to his feet and dropped the sword he had grabbed. "Man, now that was a nap...but why does my head hurt?" he then noticed the Scouts fighting the Yoma, which were starting to push them back. Koaru looked around and saw a glave lying near him, which he grabbed and ran to help the Scouts. However, he was no help to them...in a way, he would have been better off staying dead.
Serena had finally managed to hit the Yoma that was trying to kill her, but she had paid for it. In order to cut off the demons arm, she had opened herself to a direct hit to the chest, and now the demon slashed her, and she fell backwards, Darien's sword dropping to the ground, and blood gushing from her injury. She got back to her knees, and watched as the Yoma re-attached its arm to its body. "You have got to be kidding me!" Sailor Moon cried in irritation as the demon rushed her again.
Of all the Scouts, the first to fall was Raye. She swung her flaming blade at the demons head, and it leapt up, then vanished. Sailor Mars looked around, trying to see where it went, then she felt its claw strike her back, enter it, then burst through her chest. Raye looked down and saw the five claws sticking out of her chest, dripping with her blood, then heard its breathe as it bit her neck. At this moment, Princess Mars' spirit moved to the next plain, and her body dropped to the ground.
Lita fell next, her demon grabbing the blades of her swords, turning the edges to face her, then with incredible force, pushing the blades down into her neck. Princess Jupiter collapsed to the ground, slain by her own weapons.
Mina leapt back, jumped up, and kicked off of the Palace wall, soaring straight above her enemy, then let out a barrage of Beam Smashes at the Yoma, which dodged each one, then vanished from sight. The next thing Sailor Venus knew, the demon was right on top of her, and it kicked her straight down to the ground. Mina readied herself to land on her hands and knees, only to have the Yoma appear below her, holding two spears. Princess Venus had both spears impale her through her chest and neck, killing her instantly. The Shadow Yoma placed the spears on the ground, leaving Mina suspended on them.
Serena continued to fight, Darien's sword growing heavier and heavier, she couldn't swing it anymore. So she threw it at the Yoma, which caught it, and rushed in. Princess Serenity was struck through the heart with her lover’s sword, and she died with tears of regret and peace in her eyes.
Sailor Mercury continued to fight, knowing that she was now the last one fighting. As she fought, she saw that the other four Yoma were coming to kill her, when she saw Koaru, alive and well, rush them with a glave, and stopping them from attacking her. She didn't bother to try and think of how he was alive, but kept focused on fighting.
Koaru thrust the glave through the first demons head, and it vanished in a flash of black fire. The other three leapt back, then attacked in formation. Koaru ducked down under the first one, placed the blade head into the ground, then climbed upside-down up the glave shaft. He then flipped forward, swinging the blade through the Yoma that made the mistake to get behind him. It vanished like the first, and the last two leapt above Koaru, ready to strike him down. Koaru simply placed the glave over his shoulders, then leapt up to them, spinning like a top. The blade sliced through both demons heads, and the pair vanished in a flash of fire. Koaru then turned to help Amy with her Yoma, and soon regretted doing so.
Amy had lost one of the katanas, and was now fighting even harder, both hands wielding the sword she held. She noticed that Koaru had defeated the four demons, then her own Yoma struck her in the chest, and she fell to the ground, her enemy standing above her.
Koaru ran to Amy, but knew that he wasn't fast enough. He therefore swung his glave around and threw it at the Yoma, blade first.
Amy saw the glave fly at her opponents back, and the Yoma saw it reflected in her eyes. It grabbed Amy by the throat, then swung her around and held her in front of it, in the path of the glave. Princess Mercury saw the glave fly at her, Koaru's shocked look, then felt the blade strike through her, pierce her back, and felt the Yoma behind her vanish in fire. She then fell to the ground, the weapon sticking through her chest, and Koaru rushed to her.
"Amy, hold on." he said as he pulled the weapon out of her. He then charged energy into his hands, ready to heal her wound. When he turned to do so, her eyes were closed, and she no longer breathing. Koaru felt the tears flow down his face, and guilt burn in his heart. "Amy....Amy. NNOOOOOOOO!!" he cried as he blasted a sphere of energy at the Palace wall, shattering it into a thousand pieces. Queen Serenity approached him, and he hung his head. She sat next to him, and put her hands on his shoulders. Koaru pulled away, then looked at her. "Why? Why did they all die, yet I am alive? Again?! I should be dead! Not them!!!" Queen Serenity looked into his eyes, then touched the Shadow Scar.
"You have the heart of an avenger," she said, "and when King Soul placed this curse on you, you only wanted to kill him. The Scar resurrects you each time you die, as long as it is attached to your body. It will not fade till you have achieved your goal that was set in your heart when it was placed on you." Koaru thought a moment, "So, I will continue to come back to life, until I have completely wiped out the Negaverse." Queen Serenity nodded her head. Koaru got to his feet. "How much longer do you need?" Serenity thought a moment, "About ten minutes." Koaru nodded his head again. "You got them."

Chapter 32: The End is Only the Beginning
Koaru knew that he was immortal, and that his carelessness had cost Amy her life, and he vowed to avenge her. He walked to Queen Beryl, who was waiting for him outside the remains of the walls. She still carried his Crescent Blade, and he wanted to get it back. He carried his katanas, a halberd and the glave. He also wore the Tritus Crystal, and he was absorbing its power, readying himself for the battle.
"So, you survived that fall?" Beryl asked as Koaru approached her. He shook his head, then with a shock wave of energy, he blasted his shirt off. He looked very impressive, since he had always worn loose clothes. Beryl now saw that his upper body was ripped, in both meanings. He spotted an impressive six pack, with muscular chest, shoulders, arms, and sides. All across this rock hard body were scars; from his torture from King Soul, the battle against the Mercury knights, the torture from King Mercury, and from all the battles he had fought in (hey, he's good, but he ain't untouchable). The Shadow Scar was glowing, spreading across his body, his eyes, the Yingkorogan (Shadow Mirror Eyes), were burning with rage, and he lunged at Beryl, glave swinging like a buzz saw.
"I will kill you!" Koaru yelled as he swung at Beryl's head, and then threw the glave at her as she ducked under the attack and leapt back. Beryl caught the glave and threw it aside as Koaru slashed at her with the halberd. She jumped to the side and the giant blade cut threw the ground, making a large scar in the Moon's surface. Koaru abandoned the halberd and drew his katanas, charging them with energy as he attacked. Beryl readied her staff, charging the red gem with her own energy, then blasted it at Koaru, who cut through it and continued for her.
"Enough of this!" Queen Beryl yelled as she struck the ground and poured energy into it. Koaru slashed at her, then couldn't move his arm. He looked, and saw that the six Shadow Yoma had resurrected, and were all heading for him. "Aw shit!" he yelled as he beheaded the one next him. It vanished in a flash of black fire, then reappeared eight feet to his left, attacking once again. Koaru continued to fend off the Yoma, and strike at Beryl, who was trying to gather energy into her staff again. "Ok, enough of this child's play!" Koaru yelled as he poured energy into his blades, each one elongating to the length of eight feet, curving into a crescent shape, and glowing a bright blue. Koaru leapt into the air, and the six Yoma followed. "Fools," he said as he readied his technique, "go to hell, and say 'hi' to Hades for me. Tritus Razor Shadow Twister!" he spun like a Beyblade (yes, you read that right) and created a giant black tornado, which sucked in the Yoma and sliced them to pieces. This time, they fell to the ground in bloody chunks, and didn't get back up.
Koaru landed on the ground, slightly dizzy, then turned to block Beryl's attempt to behead him with his Crescent Blade. "When will you die?!" she shouted at him as she leapt back and shot a beam of energy at him. "I could ask you the same thing." Koaru replied as he dodged the attack and swung at her head with his left sword. Beryl ducked under the blade and slashed up as Koaru leapt back. He landed and swung his body so that his left arm would face forward and his right arm would face back. Only, instead of his katana appearing in front of him, only a large gush of blood appeared. He looked and saw, to his horror that Beryl had severed his left arm from his body...right at the shoulder. He was no longer protected, or powered, by the Shadow Scar.
Beryl smiled in victory, holding Koaru's left arm in her hand, savoring the sight of the last of the blood dripping from the wound, painting the ground red. "You can't win now, boy,” she said as she threw the arm aside, and Koaru used the last of his power to close the wound. "Well, if I can't beat you, I'll at least take you down with me." He ran at her and slashed at her head (yes, again), and she blocked the attack with the Crescent Blade, and Koaru parleyed, knocking the Blade out of her hands, but he lost his grip and his katana was knocked away from him. Beryl then summoned Koaru's other katana from the ground, caught it, and then ran it through Koaru's chest. "Got you at last." she smiled.
Koaru stood rooted; his own sword sticking threw his chest and back. He looked straight into her eyes, feeling the Yingkorogan fade from his own. He then grabbed the blade of the sword (Beryl was still holding the handle) and started to draw Beryl's power through the sword into his body. "What? What are you doing?!?" Beryl panicked as he drained her energy. "I promised that...if I couldn't kill...you..." Koaru stuttered through the blood dripping out of his mouth, "then I would take...you down...with me!" he shouted as he gathered all the energy into his right hand grabbed Beryl's throat. "Now...you bitch...we both die here and now." he said as the energy glowed black and silver. "No, you wouldn't!" Beryl cried in fear. "I have nothing left to live for, anyway...because of you." Koaru tightened his grip on her windpipe. "Tritus...Twin Blade Sacrifice...Omega!" Koaru's body glowed pure white, then all the energy he had created an explosion that ripped his body apart, with Beryl taking the full onslaught of the explosion (well duh, she is like...two feet away).
Queen Serenity, Luna and Artemis watched as the explosion shattered all the walls, buildings, and everything else within 2,000 feet of it to dust. Luna used her own power to create a shield around her and the others, shielding them from the blast. "Koaru..." she whispered as the dust started to settle. Artemis hung his head, his way of honoring the sacrifice made that day. Queen Serenity looked through the dust as it thinned, then gasped. "No...it can't be." Luna and Artemis looked up and shivered. Queen Beryl stood, barely alive, surrounded by the Six Shadow Yoma again. "Shit." Artemis said, then turned to see Serenity pull the Impearium Silver Crystal out of the silk pouch that she carried it in. The Crystal glowed white, and Serenity closed her eyes. Luna nodded her head to Artemis. "It ends now."
Queen Beryl looked around, feeling that she had finally won the war, when she was struck from behind by the power of the Crystal. "Nooooo! I was...so close!" she screamed as the Crystal caused her body to vanish. She watched as the Six Shadow Yoma were turned into six different colored gems, which flew to Queen Serenity. "I'll kill you!" Beryl screamed as she drew a needle from her belt and charged it with energy, then threw it, piercing Serenity through the heart. Beryl smiled in triumph as the last of her body was dissolved into another dimension.
"My Queen, no!" Artemis shouted as he and Luna ran to the dieing Queen. Serenity looked at the two, then said, "I have little energy...left. The...Negaverse still exists...so the Scouts need to remain...more...then I do." Luna shook her head, and tried to heal her, but it wouldn't work. "You two...need to help the Scouts. I will...send you with them." The Crystal glowed one last time, and the fallen princesses were all surrounded by a sphere of pink light, headed down to Earth. Darien, Siefer, Greg and Glave's (it just appeared, ok!) bodies were also surrounded by the spheres and sent to Earth. From the dust around the large crater in the grounds, the remains of Koaru's body were surrounded by a sphere and also headed to Earth. Luna and Artemis' bodies then glowed, and they fell unconscious as they were sent to earth. Queen Serenity watched the spheres soar to Earth, the last planet unconquered by the Negaverse. "Good-bye...my child." Queen Serenity Moon closed her eyes, and passed on, joining her long past husband, Llander, Robin, and the other Royal families killed by the Negaverse, on the next plain of existence.

ha ha ha! that is it! the end of my first story! Whoo! and here is the...sort of trailer to the next one.
Epilogue: The New Millennium
A stray black cat roamed down an alley, ignoring the trashcans and walking to the white cat at the other end of said alley. Both cat's shared one thing, a golden crescent moon mark on their foreheads. The white cat looked at the black one, then asked, yes, asked, "Did you find her?" the black cat nodded, and the two ran through the alley, and soon found themselves looking into an arcade. After about fifteen minutes, a teenage girl with long blonde hair tied into extremely long pigtails walked out of the arcade and started to walk down the block. As the cats watched, the girl approached a crowd of people walking in her direction. Suddenly, the girl tripped over nothing at all, and fell headlong into the crowd, taking them all down with her. Both cats continued to watch with large sweat drops on their heads. The black cat sighed, "I'll go to her, you keep looking for the rest." The black cat then took off after the girl as she crashed into another group of passers-by. The white cat sighed he walked in the opposite direction, "I did not order this life."
