Moon Revolution by Donny Chen chromium@worldnet.att.net Moon Revolution: Canine Crisis Prologue: Well, the battle begins where the story left off, with the Demon Cat battling for possession of Earth?s doomsday creature?Pup, son of Fang the Wolf Legend. Darwin saw his beautifully mashed up tank, the Marauder 1, when he appeared over the future desolate earth. He looked down at Ami, barely even breathing. Her neck had already been stained red, and he couldn?t even bear to look at her. He somehow felt responsible for her extreme pain, but he wanted to fix this up right now. ? Don?t worry. Don?t worry.? He repeated to himself, over and over again. As they reached the Marauder, Darwin hooked her up to the machine. He had taken off her clothes as part of the process, but he had other thoughts than gawking at a young girl?s naked body. ? Dammit!? Darwin jammed on the control board and typed in some commands. He closed the airlock to the machine and instantly it was filled with pressured air. Ami was going to make it. ? Let me see, data for hyper terminal resuscitator requires pass code number 00128. Maximum life support for pressure chamber?24 hours? What the hell?!!!? Darwin cursed. He looked over at the screen, and saw faint movements of the electrocardiograph. Ami needed more help. Darwin wiped his forehead. He pressed more buttons, used some of the first aid kit that he had stored in the tank. Robotic limbs projected from the chamber, and they began to operate, removing some damaged tissues and cells from Ami?s neck. A blood transfusion was also needed, for Ami and himself. But he only cared about saving Ami. She didn?t deserve to be like this. Without hesitation, he picked up a syringe needle and prepared to drive it into his arm when a female computer voice interrupted him. ? Warning, subject is experiencing fatal hemorrhages and break in spinal tube. Cranium fluids draining.? Darwin typed furiously on the keyboard. ? Give her some damn electrical shocks you piece of shit! Keep her going!? The computer hummed and responded to his order. Ami received short, quick shocks, and her vital signs were getting better. He filled the syringe with his own blood, and placed it in a container. He added three more doses, then felt dizzy. Shaking his head a bit, Darwin inserted the capsule inside a slot near the side of the tank. He converted the blood to match Ami?s blood type, but realized that they had the same kind of blood. ? Lucky me.? He filled Ami up with the plasma and let her rest for a while. He waited for two days. White Dragon and Dragonbard both were unable to find the Demon Cat. ? Perhaps we should find his youmas. I can manipulate them into turning against him.? Dragonbard suggested. White Dragon shook his head. ? The Demon Cat destroyed them all. He?s twisted. He needs no minions.? He said. Dragonbard said nothing. Usagi, after putting on her clothes, slowly went inside the cave. The five inside were waiting for her. ? It is time to train again.? The Cat Ghoul said. ? Rabbit, go outside and wait for your partner for the sparring.? Usagi?s eyes bulged. ? But I?m sooooo hungry! You said that I would get food!? The Cat Ghoul waved his hands, and the four ninjas went outside. He stared at Usagi. ? Time cannot be wasted. Your irresponsibility and moronic behavior cost you your dinner. Remember this the next time you disobey me.? The Cat Ghoul told her sternly. Usagi started to cry. The Cat Ghoul grabbed her by her shoulder hard. ? I also do not tolerate crying! If you don?t have control on you emotions, you will surely die on the battle field!? he shouted at her. ? But I?m starving and I?m tired and I?m dirty and I?m just a girl!!!? Usagi whined. ? You are the warrior chosen to destroy the most dangerous warrior on the earth!!!!? The Cat Ghoul shot back angrily. ? Now go outside!? Usagi turned around, still weeping. The Cat Ghoul followed after her. The four ninjas greeted their master. The Cat Ghoul nodded, and pointed to Usagi. ? Who will be the first?? he asked. The four looked amongst themselves, and one volunteered. ? I will fight the Rabbit.? The Prowling Cat said. Usagi?s legs were wobbling, and she couldn?t bear to fight him. She just wanted to go home. Rei still stared at the Cat Ghost. He was more frightening in his real body then the mannequin. He didn?t take his eyes off her. Rei?s body was completely healed by the Cat Ghost. ? You?re the Cat Ghost.? Rei said softly. He pulled his mask off, and Rei could see his face. He was a bit attractive, she had to admit, but his skin had color in it. That bothered her. He came closer to her. ? I?ve been waiting so long for you, Rei Hino.? He said. Rei backed away from him, and pulled out an ofuda. ? Why are you here?? Rei asked. She kept her distance from him. ? I am here because of you. I saw your beauty, and had you transported here so we can be together forever.? Rei stood where she was. ? You?re not the real Cat Ghost. Who are you?!? She threw the ward on his forehead. The Cat Ghost grabbed it. He hadn?t sent any evil signs to her, but he wasn?t the Cat Ghost. ? Rei, give me your hand.? He said. Rei threw more at him. He deflected them all. ? Get away from me!? she screamed. The Cat Ghost drew his sword, and cut the strap to her robe. Rei was scared. Unable to transform into Sailor Mars, she was helpless, and her magic didn?t affect him. ? Come to me, Rei. I need you.? Rei tried to run, but soon found out that she was in a dark plane, where only she and the Cat Ghost existed. He grabbed her arm, and stripped the robe off her body. He stared at her, and his mouth then met with hers. Rei struggled in his arms, but he was mush too powerful than her. Seconds later, Rei saw the fiery red sky and the barren wasteland. She was alone. ? It was all a hallucination?? Rei said, but she wrapped her arm around her body and cried. What was going on? Minako and Makoto toured the Royal Court. They stopped at a room. It had some kanji symbols written on it, and a picture of a cat and a wolf. They looked at each other and went in. ? Who is it?? Two wolves turned around and looked. A white cat and more strange beings looked at the door. ? Uh, hello?? Minako said. Makoto waved. The male wolf jumped to them. ? The Sailor Senshi, I believe?? he said. A long scar ripped across his left eye. He had two earrings on his ear. Minako crouched down. ? What?s going on here?? she asked. The wolf sat down. ? We are gathering for the fight against the Demon Cat. I am Fang, the Wolf Legend, and these are my children.? He said. Fang?s children, many of them humans with wolf heads and many with canine characteristics. There were about five of them of them, most of them young girls. ? I am Faith, Fang?s wife.? Faith was a white wolf, with green-blue eyes. ? Don?t you know that the Demon Cat is suppose to be killed by Sailor Moon? How come you?re still fighting?? Makoto asked. ? The Demon Cat wants my son Pup, a World Destroyer like Kit. My strongest sons have prepared to defend Pup as he plays in the forest.? Fang told her. ? But how come he?s down there instead of here? Won?t he be protected better in the heavens?? Minako asked. Fang got up and walked around them. ? The Demon Cat will destroy the earth whether or not he has Pup. We are delaying time for Sailor Moon to finish her training and fight him.? ? But why does she have to do it? Why not any one of you?? Makoto pointed out. Fang looked at his children, the females in particular. ? They have neither the power nor magic to overcome him. Only she can destroy him.? One of the wolf-men spoke up. ? Father, let us go fight him. Pup can be escorted by one of our sisters here.? He said. ? No!? Fang shouted. ? The Lord of Time states that all go according to the scroll. Pup must stay down on the earth until the Dragonbard retrieves him.? The wolf-man nodded and stepped back. ? Make yourselves useful and stand over there until the others arrive.? Fang instructed to Minako and Makoto. More people came into the room, fighters all alike, and warriors of the heavens. ? Wow. I?ve never seen an army like this.? Makoto said. Manx, Lynx?s wife, came in with her children. ? Fang, Faith, we have arrived.? She said. Fang and his wife greeted her. Manx?s children began to line up. ? Where is Kitten?? Fang asked. Kitten, Manx?s youngest daughter, came inside holding Kit in her arms. ? Hello everyone!? she said. Kitten was only five years old, and she was not going into battle. ? Kitten, come over here.? Her mother said to her. Kitten scurried over to her mom. Fang pointed to a sheet of paper on the wall with the tip of his nozzle. ? This is the battlefield in which the Demon Cat will face us in.? he said. ? We must delay time for Sailor Moon, the chosen one, to come and finish him off.? The battlefield turned out to be a clear, no hiding spot barren treeless plain. ? My son Pup is in this area, and we must be there when the Demon Cat meets him. Hunter will get him to safely, and we all attack at once.? Fang looked around for questions. Hunter, a grayish wolf man, knew his part. ? The only ones not going to fight are the females, all except for Angelyne and the Sailor Senshi.? Angelyne, the Imperial assassin and Manx?s daughter, gripped her sword. ? The Demon Cat is very dangerous. Do not surrender or weaken at his sight. He will be defeated.? A few hours of talk and the entire army of fighters and exorcists had their battle plan all figured out. A week later? Darwin stayed awake for the entire night, having only slept the day before. He furiously tried to keep Ami alive, but his tank and most of the equipment was broken or damaged badly. ? There?s no more time to waste.? He said to himself. ? I?m going to finish that tank and I?m going to kill Delta.? Darwin got up and activated his Time Transporter and went back to the present time, then came back with the tank he was building. He worked all day, neither pausing to eat or sleep or rest. He took apart the Marauder, keeping only the life supporter on to help Ami live a little longer. He had fixed most of the health equipment. Days had passed, and Delta was not seen for a while. This was good news for Darwin, but his thoughts were occupied. He began to get paler, and he needed rest badly, but time was time, and he couldn?t waste a second of it. ? This is good.? He said. Darwin had the new model of the vehicle done, but the inside would need more complicated help. He needed someone else who knew how to put together the inner structure of the behemoth. ? Well, this is my only hope.? Darwin transported the tank with Ami?s dying body to the past, hoping that it will bring him to the Ami of another time. She might be able to save him, the earth, and her future self. Minutes after the time launch, he drove the tank to the street. He looked at the surrounding. This was nowhere near Ami?s house. Darwin suddenly knew where she was. He checked the time on the transporter. It was exactly two weeks in the past, the day where he saw Ami and Minako, the same day where Ami was going to get killed by her. ? Dammit!!!!? He got onto the tank, and tore down other cars and mailboxes as he drove. He had approximately one hour to reach Ami?s house. With the speed upgrade, Darwin?s new tank was going 10 miles an hour. Minako hit Mercury aside, and Darwin was going to receive the guillotine chop from the mind controlled girl. The future Darwin grabbed his Rapid fire auto cannon and fired it at the ground, where it sent Minako flying away from Darwin, the present one. Mercury ran up to him. Darwin grabbed Ami and the two ran for cover. The Future Darwin drove the tank towards them. ? Get in!? he cried out. The Darwin of the past stared at himself, then went inside. Mercury wouldn?t go in. ? Get in!!!!? The Future Darwin shouted. ? It?s for the sake of your life!!!? Mercury hesitated, then climbed on aboard. Minako stared at an open window at the end of the room. Staring blankly at the clouds. She had no idea what she had done to Ami and the future soldier, and no idea that she had actually encountered the Demon Cat. What is going on here? She thought. Who is this demon that they had to fight? Why aren?t we fighting now? What will happen to us? A gust of wind made her hair ripple smoothly and visibly through the bright light. Her eyes began to blur. Minako?s eyelids began to weaken as she fell into a deep sleep. It was pitch black. It was too dark to see, and it was like and infinite space around her. Where am I? Minako thought. What is this place? Why am I here? ? Minako?Minako?? Minako heard the plea, and wondered who would be calling her. ? Who is it?!? she blurted out. Rei?s face appeared, distorted and frail. Her hair fell limp and her eyes were sunken. ? R-Rei! Where are you? What do you want me to do?? Minako cried out shrilly. Rei looked at her with her eyes, and responded. ? Kill Kit.? Rei said sharply. ? He is the threat of this earth, not the Demon Cat. He must be stopped.? Usagi was once again thrown around by the ninja. She couldn't even lift her head up after they were through beating her. Bruises and cuts decorated her arms and legs and her hair was littered with dirt and dust. " Stop!!!" Usagi shouted." Just leave me alone! Stop hurting me!!!!!!" The Prowling Cat stopped. The Cat Ghoul grabbed Usagi by her neck. " You will never cry out for any of my ninjas to stop." He said coldly to her. " You haven't been worthy enough to even carry back wood and you complain about food when the world is in danger! I should kill you, but I am here to train you. Train you to be strong, maybe even stronger than my ninjas and even me." Usagi's tears wouldn'tstop running. She tried to hit him, but the Cat Ghoul grabbed her hand and threw her to the ground. He pointed to the Blind Cat. " Your turn." He said. Usagi bursted with anger and started to run away from them. The Cat Ghoul's spikes reemerged into his shoulders and then went shooting out through his knuckles. They pierced the side of her face and hooked onto her clothes. He dragged her back. " Get up." said the Cat Ghoul. " Get up and fight my ninjas. You won't accomplish anything by cowardliness." " And what can I accomplish by getting my ass battered and bruised?!" Usagi shot back. " Why the hell do you treat me this way?! Why are you such a bastard?!!!!" The Cat Ghoul took his mask off. His red face was covered with scars and cuts. Usagi gasped in horror as she stared into his battered face. " Rabbit, I was once like you, weak and nothing against this brutal world. I went in search for trouble, to find enemies and kill them. But all that comes with a price and a goal. If you suffer enough, your anger will take control and push your limits to the max. It will transform you into a killing machine. A weapon of destruction." " But I don't want to kill! I don't do that! I'm just a girl! I'm no one's weapon!" she cried out. "I only want to be a normal girl...not a homicidal maniac!" " You are a warrior, a senshi." He reminded Usagi. " What can we accomplish if we do not win our wars? We would all have died. Remember, in a battle, there are no winners or losers, everyone suffers. You must accept this fact and go past your true potential to be the best." He took Usagi by her arm and took her away from the training ground to a crystal clean lake. "Take your shirt off Rabbit." He said. " Clean yourself off." Usagi slowly removed the top, feeling cold and vulnerable. She stared at her arms. Usagi's body had thinned a bit, but she forgot all about it when she felt the Cat Ghoul tear off the rest of her clothes. He placed her on the water, which made her wounds sting. " Take a few minutes by yourself. I will come back with some food and clothes." The Cat Ghoul turned and started back to the cave. Usagi began to wash off some blood and dirt from her body. She let the cool water cover her, inhaling the sweet scent of the flowers and trees around the lake. Her mind began to ease, and she found herself thinking about...everything.... What happened to me when I left Rei's place? Why did I end up here? Was I kidnapped? I think I was..but no one came for me. There was only the sky..the coal black sky... And I found myself here, in the midst of murders whto call themsleves ninjas. And they say I'm chosen warrior? Me, out of all the people in the world, I have to kill. Again. Isn't it bad enough that I have to save the world from the Negaverse, but now, I have to defeat this Demon Cat? Why am I the chosen one? I'm not a fighter, I'm a Sailor Senshi, a protector. Maybe I am a fighter. But I'm not up against the Negaverse or any of the Dark Kingdom's forces, I don't even know who this enemy really is? What has he done? How powerful was this Demon Cat? What if he's ten times as strong as I am? Why can't the Cat Ghoul fight him...kill him? Ghoul Cat...he says he's here to help...but I can't believe that! He hurts me, beats me. He throws me around and doesn't give me food. Why does he act so nicely now? Why doesn't he ever hurt the others? Is it because I'm a girl? No, it can't be that! But he thinks I'm weak. I can't move like him or fight like him or the ninjas. But I'm not weak. I'm not a weakling. Or am I? I always depend on my friends for support. I need my friends now. I need Ami, Rei, Makoto and Minako. I need my Mamo-chan and Artemis and Luna. I feel so helpless around these...these killers! They want me to kill someone cold-blooded. I'm supposed to kill the Demon Cat... Kill! I can't stand that word! I don't kill...I want to help! Why do I always hace to kill? What is so special about me that give me the privilege to stab someone in the heart? " Rabbit..." The Cat Ghoul's words ended Usagi's thoughts. Her eyes opened, and she turned around. The Cat Ghoul was standing by the edge, holding the ninja outfit and a bowl filled with animal meat. " Get dressed and eat. I will train you in the next lesson." He said. Usagi held her head down and got out from the water. She took the clothes with trembling fingers and the bowl in the other. " Yes...master." Mamoru awoke from a deep slumber. He looked around. Trees were thick and green can be seen as far as the eye could see. In a white shirt and dark pants, Mamoru was hot in the forest's unbearable heat. " What the hell is this place?" he asked himself. Brushing some dirt off the seat of his pants, Mamoru began to plow his way through the tangles of vines and leaves. As hard as the work had been, Mamoru was relieved to step out into a Serengeti. " Whoa." He said. Mamoru slowly explored his surroundings. Where am I? The sun was high in the sky. He wiped beads of sweat from his head. What he didn't expect was that he was heading in the direction of the Ninja territory. Mamoru was in danger. Usagi began vigorous exercises with the Cat Ghoul. " Harder. Break that tree in half. You're not even trying!!!" Usagi held her throbbing leg. " My leg hurts! I can't go on! My foot will break off!" she said. The Cat Ghoul suddenly kicked at the tree. Chunks of wood and leaves were torn from the trunk. " Your feet will not break off. You have to concentrate your strength on your foot alone. Power comes full when you focus hard enough, do you understand, Rabbit?" " But I don't know how to!!!" she whined. The Cat Ghoul shook his head in frustration. " Sit down and be quiet. I will show you how." He said. Usagi sat down, listening carefully to him. " You must clear your head of all thoughts. Nothing must interfere with the focusing, and you must feel the power in your body." He sat down with her. " Just concentrate on the enemy. Know him, and you will find his weakness." Usagi's eyes opened up. She shrugged. " I can't do it. I just can't block off my friends and my life from my mind. Sorry." " In a world of survival, there are no friends. You must depend on yourself. How else can you learn self independence and respect?" he told her. " But my friends mean everything to me! They help me out when I fight! I love them and they love me!" Usagi protested. " Love is another thing that will keep you from achieving ultimate strength. If you love someone, then you risk giving your enemy an advantage. They can fall into the hands of the foe and distract you from the fight." " Love is not a weakness, it is the strongest power one can hold!." Usagi said to him. " Don't you know that?" The Cat Ghoul was annoyed with the remark. "I need not love for strength and power will always mean more to a warrior rather than the thing you call love." "There is more to life then power. Love is what completes us, makes us who we are. I can't understand how you can be without love." " I feel that powerful beings such as yourself is wasting your time engaging in such revolting activities rather than pushing past your limits to be the best there is. Isn't that what all of us seek Rabbit?" The Cat Ghoul asked. Usagi shook her head violently. " No, no, no!" she said. "Don't you understand? Love is the conquerer, not strength, or anger, or violence! Love brings peace, it brings hope and salvation. Love wins, not war or death." " You are wise Rabbit, but there comes a time when you must fight. Being prepared is the greatest thing you can have, because anyone can strike at you at anytime." The Cat Ghoul sighed. " Let's just train." He got up. Helping Usagi, the Cat Ghoul continued the training, thinking about what she had said. Days passed. Usagi worked harder than before, building up strength for every muscle in her body. She went to the forest everyday, gathering the wood and avoiding the dangerous creatures that inhabit there. She leapt over rocks and climbed over boulders. Usagi learned to catch fish with a knife and how to trap small critters. It was pretty unbelievable that Usagi could accomplish as much as she had, but after weeks without television, comics, and friends and being Sailor Moon, she learned to take care of herself. Training vigorously built up physical strength and knowledge of being a hunter and trapper gave her incredible survival techniques. Day after day, Usagi had interacted with the other four ninjas. The Silent Cat taught her the use of the swords, and Usagi was surprised as to how light it was but its amazing killing ability. The Prowling Cat taught Usagi how to fight quickly and clean with the claws. The Laughing Cat showed her how to use her hair as a weapon by attaching a small blade at the end of her hair, which Usagi tied back in one long ponytail rather than her two odangos. By exercising her neck, she knew how to swing her hair and use it as a whip. The Blind Cat helped increase Usagi's sense of danger and awareness by knowing and trusting in her surroundings. Trees are used as escape routes for the ninjas and the grass is used for hiding them while in stealth. The Cat Ghoul, a master among masters, gave Usagi the importance of courage, to stand up to those who intimidate you, o that one day you will learn to overcome him and become one step stronger and one step less of fear. But the greatest thing Usagi had discovered was that she had made new friends now. She didn'tfear them, nor did she hate them. She had always thought that her job was as the leader of the Sailor Senshi, and she was right. Usagi knew that she was capable of anything, and they had proved it for her. Power, speed, agility, stealth, courage, cunning and dexterity made her a true senshi. But whether or not she had become this, Usagi knew what had really made her a strong person...friendship. Usagi woke up the day after, staring blindly at the light. But something was definitely wrong. Usagi had gotten up early, and it was still dark outside. She looked around at the others. They were sitting up, staring at her. " What's going on?" she asked, still sleepy. " Are you ready to take on my ninjas again?" the Cat Ghoul asked. Perhaps suffering was the first step in becoming a warrior. Clear minds made a truly invincible fighter, to always believe in the good and never to underestimate your enemy. The more strategic the person is, the more he or she will win their battles. Maybe this was the reason why the ninjas had done this Usagi. It wasn'tout of brutality or hatred. It was because they had loved Usagi as if she was one of their own. Usagi knew that they were fighters. They had given their knowledge of survival to her because they knew that Usagi was potentially the strongest. She just hasn'tfigured it out yet until time had come. She had unleashed a wave of pure spiritual and physical energy. She had become a true ninja, the female warrior of the Blood Claws. Usagi gazed over her sword, a bright blade of the finest metal. The glaze shone brightly against the moonlight. The handle was perfectly fit to her hands, and the weight was fair and decent. Her ninja suit had stayed the same, but she had received a red sash and a black cape. Her hair was carefully tied, to provide the strongest points of damage at the end where the knife was. Her claws had been forged from the mystical paw of Lynx's own highest ninja. A black patch of fur was matted at the top of the hand, and the five claws were slightly curved and sharp. Her dagger was attached to the sash on the side. The mask, that was the most important of all the ninjas. It was made of hard metal, shaped and cut in the form of a rabbit's head. The ears were a good eight inches long, colored red in the insides. The symbol of the blood claw was imprinted on the forehead, right in the center. The strap was made of a tough hide of an animal, and it held the mask tight on Usagi's face, which she wore with pride. " Thank you." Usagi whispered, examining herself. " You were the greatest. I only wish you could come with me to fight." The Cat Ghoul looked at Usagi, and placed a hand on her shoulder. " It was only I that had shown you your ultimate goal, Rabbit. You had to earn it for yourself. You are a true ninja. Go and slay the Demon Cat." The other four nodded and gestured "goodbye" to Usagi. Turning around, they walked silently into the darkness. The Cat Ghoul gave Usagi, the girl whom he called Rabbit, a final wave and faded with the dark. " Goodbye, my friends." She said. The Demon Cat tossed all four wolves in different directions. Sasha, Pup's sister, had escorted him out of the forest and made way up to the Imperial Palace in the heavens. The Demon Cat fixed his eyes on her and the prize in her arms. " Get back here!" the Demon Cat rasped. He ran and ravaged her, throwing Sasha aside. Blood poured onto the ground, and Pup had fallen into the grasps of the most dangerous and strongest killer on earth. Sasha's four brothers and all the other male fighters in the heavens saw this. Fang's eyes raged, anger swelling up in him. The Demon Cat had attacked a female, a female that was his daughter. " Kill him now!!!!" Fang bellowed. His five sons with him nodded, ready to destroy the Demon Cat. Pup carried on his howling and yipping. The Demon Cat raised his bloody claws above Pup's head. " Good bye, World Destroyer." He said. Before he had executed the killing move, Fang clamped his fangs onto the Demon Cat's arm, spraying a fountain of blood in every direction. He dropped Pup, but managed to drive his claws into Fang's stomach. " You monster, I will kill you!!!" Fang shouted. The Demon Cat held onto his right arm, looking menacingly at the white wolf. " My father should have killed you, but he was a weakling. That is why I am the supreme warrior! I will annihilate you all!!!" The Demon Cat charged at him, but soon found himself surrounded by Fang's sons. " Demon from Hell, you will pay for hurting our sister!" The Bodyguard said, a wolf warrior dressed in black leather. " May the flames of the Underworld rip through your wretched flesh." Hunter cursed. The Demon Cat only laughed, and then saw more fighters emerging. " Fang, are you okay?" Lynx, a shadowy figure in the bright sun, asked. Lynx's daughter, Angelyne, and his three sons, Puma, Pantha and Tiga, stood ready to fight the monster of the demon world. " Lynx, you're here..." Fang said. The cat jumped down to his old friend. " I'm sorry, but I am responsible for bringing that hell child to this world. I mustn't get you and your children involved." Lynx looked over at the Demon Cat, then at his sons. " Puma, Tiga! Attack him!" Lynx commanded. " Yes father!" The two brothers clenched their fists and leapt at him. The Demon Cat dodged them, striking at both with his claws. The two blocked the oncoming slashes, then went in for a kick. The Demon Cat just took both by their heads and twisted. A sickening crack filled the air. " Hunter, Bodyguard, Ripper, Bloodshed, Wolf! Attack!!!" Fang commanded. The five warriors rushed at the Demon Cat, who jumps up into the air. " Morons! You have no chance against me!" The Demon Cat shouted. He suddenly underwent a transformation, his body glowing bright white. His new form was nearly the same as his previous, only his mask turned black and the sleeves on his shirt were torn off. His name was inscribed in red kanji, going down across his body. " Ha ha ha ha!!! Prepare to face me in my second form!" The Demon Cat cried out. The five fighters stopped instantaneously and saw the Demon Cat, his speed increases a hundred fold, streaked past them, slashing all five across the chest, then came back and rammed his claws into Wolf. The human-like warrior dropped his staff, and it fell to the ground. " No!" Fang stared frightened as the earth began to split, separating Fang and Lynx from their children. The Demon Cat was through beating all five. Blood dripped from his claws as he let all of his foes fall lifelessly on the ground. " Infidels! I will attack your daughters now!" The Demon Cat shouted. He turned, and then began to attack Angelyne. " Demon Cat!" Lynx called to his son. The Demon Cat had already begun. Angelyne drew her sword and swung. The Demon Cat avoided it and grabbed her arm, then pulled it from the socket. His free hand clamped onto her throat and he twisted her neck. His final move was a two-slash combo, taking her head off and throwing it back at Lynx. " Angelyne!!!" Lynx ran to the head, but turned away shortly. His eyes glared at the Demon Cat. " You killed her..." he murmured. " Yes, and now it is time for the others!" he said, and in a wisp of black smoke, the Demon Cat disappeared. He headed straight for the heavens, where both Kit and Pup were. Darwin finished. He finished building his war machine and looked at it. " This is it. I'm ready now." Suddenly, he remembered about Ami. She should have awakened from the resuscitation chamber. He went back inside and looked at the glass. Ami's wounds had been repaired, and at last, he pulled on a switch. The panel opened, and Ami's eyes slowly began to do the same. " So how are you feeling?" he asked. Ami looked around, but her vision had still not fully regained yet. She suddenly noticed that she was naked. Ami quickly covered herself, keeping her head away from Darwin's eyes. " I'm...I'm alive." she said softly, her face crossed with a red blush, as she continued to cover herself. Darwin coughed nervously, and darted his eyes away from Ami. " Yes, we brought you a couple of hundred years back, and had enough time to build my vehicle and repair you at the same time." Darwin said. Another Darwin and another Ami stepped into view. Ami, the true Ami, was astounded to see them. " What's going on here?" she asked, sounding confused. " Wait, let me get you some clothes first. It's pretty cold outside." The real Darwin said. The two others from the past began to work the controls. " Hey, we're setting the coordinates to go back to our time." The past Darwin said. "Take care!" He and Ami from his time activated the time jump. Seconds later, they had disappeared. Ami shivered, looking at the inside of the tank. " Here." Darwin tossed a sleeveless black shirt and some camouflage pants to Ami. As soon as Darwin turned around, Ami shyly put them on, although she still felt uneasy. " Are you finished yet? Sorry, but that was the only female uniform in your size." Darwin said. " You can turn around now." she told him. Darwin did so, and gazed wide eyed as he saw how Ami looked in it. " Wow. You look good." He said. Ami didn't say anything. "What's wrong?" Asked Darwin. Did I do something wrong? I just told her the truth...that's a good thing...right? Ami's blue eys avoided Darwin's as she shifted nervously. " You know how I feel about you." Darwin's eyebrows went up in confusion. "Is that bad? You know, I..." " No!" Ami's voice startled him. She quickly lowered it. " Sorry, I just feel like an idiot. I mean, I've told you things that I felt about you that should have waited till we go to know each other a little better. But instead, I blurted them all out in less then a second. I'm so stupid...just forget about everything I've ever said..." Darwin was shocked. He shook his head at Ami, and grabbed her shoulders, trying to look into her eyes. Ami jerked her head away, only to find Darwin pull her head towards him, locking their eyes. "Ami, listen to me!" Darwin shouted. "You are the best friend I ever had! You are like no one I have ever met, and it makes me glad that we did. I wouldn't trade these past few days for anything else in the world" Ami ocean blue eyes began to water, and soon enough, solidary tears flowed down her cheeks. She opened her mouth to say something, but Darwin interrupted her. "If I had to spend the rest of my life with someone, I wouldn't choose anyone but you. You are the best thing that happened to me Ami...I love you. I love you. You're beautiful, and smart, and you do things for me that no one else would ever do. You died for me, Ami, when I was the one who should have died. You don't know how I felt when you were there in my arms dying, I felt like a piece of me was dying too. Please Ami, don't ever be sorry for what you said to me, I'm not." Waterfalls of tears spilled down Ami's face, and she placed her hand on Darwin's cheek, caressing it softly. " Darwin." She whispered. " I know that you are just saying that to comfort me." "No!" He insisted. "I really do only love you!" "But Minako...what about her?" asked Ami. Darwin only looked at Ami and told her what he really felt. ? Ami, Minako is a good person, but I realize that it was you that I was meant to love. Maybe, if all of this ends, I hope to spend more time with you, but without you being in my resuscitation chamber!? Ami couldn?t hide a smile, and she too hoped for the same thing. Usagi looked behind her. There was someone around her. Taking her eyes up onto a thick tree, she saw a ninja crouched down on a branch. ? Rabbit, you must return to the cave.? Usagi recognized him as the Prowling Cat, and he was bleeding in his arm and neck. What was going on? ? What is it?! What happened to you?!? Usagi asked. The Prowling Cat shook his head. ? There is no time t explain! Come quick!? Usagi nodded and headed out with the Prowler. It seemed as if her mission had to be delayed for a while. As they reached the cave, Usagi?s eyes, behind her mask, grew wide and filled with fear. The Ghoul Cat and his ninjas were battling Mamoru. ? Mamo-chan!!!? Usagi cried out. He turned around, revealing his red eyes and pale face. Fangs hung down his mouth like knives, and he locked onto Usagi. ? You will not destroy the master of all killers! Prepare to die!? He ran towards her, Usagi frozen stiff with fear. ? Mamo-chan!? ? Rabbit!!!? The Ghoul Cat quickly grabbed Usagi out of the way, Mamoru?s superhuman strength split a tree in half. Usagi looked up, and saw Mamoru pulling his arm from out of the trunk. He slowly walked towards her. ? Master! Get the Rabbit out of here! We will distract him!? The Blind Cat shouted. The Ghoul Cat got up and took Usagi in his arms. ? No! We will all leave together! Or die fighting him!? he said. ? Master, the Rabbit must live! Go now or it will be too late!? The Prowling Cat told him. The Ghoul Cat looked at Mamoru, then at Usagi, and lastly at his fellow students. ? Farewell!!!? he and Usagi quickly headed out. Mamoru began to follow, but all four ninjas jumped on top of him, and got thrown afterwards. They continued to fight, but Usagi and the Ghoul Cat were out of the reach of the possessed Mamoru. ? Ghoul Cat, what?s happened to my Mamo-chan?? Usagi exclaimed. ? He is under the permanent control of the Demon Cat. It is said that those he kills will be his minion for eternity.? ? No! Let me go! I have to help him!? she cried out. ? Rabbit! You must get to safety now. The entire planet depend on you!!!? The Ghoul Cat shouted. Usagi thrust herself from his grasp and began to run back. ? Rabbit!!!? The Ghoul Cat ran after her, but then stopped abruptly. He dropped to his knees, and stared at the mask of the legend of all ninjas, the Ghost Cat Spirit. ? Ghoul Cat Reincarnation, the Rabbit is not ready. She has not reached her true power. Keep her away from the Demon Cat slave.? He phased out in a black mist. The Ghoul Cat reacted fast on the Ghost Cat Spirit?s words and ran full speed to Usagi. He grabbed her by the arm and pulled her towards him. ? Let go of me!? Usagi yelled. ? I?m trying to save my boyfriend from that spell and?? ? There is no spell! Your boyfriend is dead, and he cannot be revived, now that he is under Demon Cat?s power!? ? I can transform into Sailor Moon! I can heal him with my Scepter! Just let me go!? Usagi begged. The Ghoul Cat tightened his grip on her arm, bringing Usagi to her knees. ? Sailor Moon does not exist in this world and time. If you die now you will never live to your time and the whole planet will be destroyed by the Negaverse forces.? He let go of her. ? The forces of good and evil are at battle now. You must worry about saving billions. Don?t go back now on that one person.? ? If I let Mamoru die I will never forgive myself. Let me save him, I know I can.? Usagi removed her mask and stared at the Ghoul Cat, tears running down her face. He clenched his fists, but nodded. ? Let?s go help him.? He said finally. He placed a hand on Usagi?s head. A crescent moon appeared, and her ninja uniform had changed to the sailor uniform. The dagger had turned into her Healing Scepter, and she now was Sailor Moon. But one thing still troubled her. ? Master, you knew that I could heal him. Why did you try to stop me?? she asked. The Ghoul Cat lowered his head, and turned away. ? No reason. I just don?t want you getting hurt.? Sailor Moon tugged at his arm. ? Tell me! Why did you stop me from saving him?!? she demanded. The Ghoul Cat jerked his arm away from her. ? The reason is because I love you! Are you happy now?! I didn?t want you to be together with that person you call Mamoru.? He cracked his knuckles. ? I know that I?m a demon fighter. I have no feelings. You were the one that taught me that love was the greatest thing you could have, so I wanted to love you. But you love that Mamoru more than me, because he doesn?t look like a red skinned monster!? Sailor Moon suddenly felt guilty. She didn?t want to hurt his feelings. ? Master, I?m sorry.? She began. ? Don?t be! Just go save your love and leave me now. I only hope that you can accomplish your task and destroy the Demon Cat.? He stood there like a stone as the wind shook his red and black beaded hair back and forth. Sailor Moon reached out towards him, but she just pulled it back, and ran to the cave. The Ghoul Cat took his mask off, and looked at his reflection on the mask. He gazed at his white eyes, his fangs, his red face and his scars. Now, the thing that the Ghoul Cat desired more was the beauty of a human, and not the monstrosity that he was. Rei suddenly knew what was going on. The Ghost Cat, a ninja of the past, could never have defeated a machine fighter of the future. There was no Delta and there was no desolate Earth. This was all a manifestation of the Demon Cat?s mind, what he wishes the earth to be. ? So he wants to separate us all, because he doesn?t stand a chance against all five of us.? At those words, two figures emerged from the red sky. A woman with wings and an armor clad sorcerer landed down in front of Rei. ? Sailor Mars, I presume?? The man asked. Rei backed away from them. ? Who are you?? she asked. ? I am Wing, the angel assassin and this is Dragonbard, a fighter of the heavens. We are here to bring you to the other senshi.? She said. Her wings flapped and folded against her back. ? Sailor Moon is coming to kill the Demon Cat. When she does so, you will be returned to your own time and the earth shall be restored.? Dragonbard said. . ? But we will send you back to the heavens, for time cannot be altered from there, and you will not be from the future. But your body is not stable enough to fight him, and we can only watch.? The Demon Cat slaughtered the guards that stood outside the gates of the heavens. With the Earth in chaos, he had the power to go anywhere he chose, and loved every minute ravaging it. He tore into the main court. The White Dragon stood there, waiting with his sword in one hand and a dragon pearl in the other. ? White Dragon, all alone, are we?? The Demon Cat taunted. ? Don?t try and hide the others from me. I will find them no matter what.? The White Dragon kept his eye on him, his expression never changing. The Demon Cat laughed. His claws dangled playfully in front of him. He was going to strike soon. ? The warrior will come. Your plague will end then.? The White Dragon told him. He placed the pearl on the ground. The Demon Cat stared at it, and then his eyes grew large. He tried to grab it, but it began to glow, then flash. A huge white dragon appeared, and glared menacingly at the Demon Cat. ? Shin Lung, the celestial high dragon of the heavens.? The White Dragon faded and his sword became a horn on top of the dragon?s head. The White Dragon stood on the back of Shin Lung. ? You think that your dragon can stop me?!? The Demon Cat jumped up, but the dragon grabbed him by its mighty jaws and hurled him out through five columns of iron walls. The Demon Cat got on his feet, and staggered back from it, then began to change. His skin turned a snow-white color, and red fangs protruded from his silhouetted mask. His claws darkened, and multiple spikes shot out from his back, arms and legs. His black fighting uniform materialized as white plates. He had transformed into his third form, a form that he had never needed to go past. ? Ha ha ha! Shin Lung is no match for the third form Demon Cat!!!? he swung his arm, shooting out a spike that penetrated the dragon?s armored shell. He gave out a tremendous roar, then lifted his body up and taking the Demon Cat with him. The White Dragon jumped towards him began to fight the Demon Cat on Shin Lung?s back. The Demon Cat threw some quick punches at the White Dragon. He grabbed his hand and kicked the Demon Cat upright his face, and clenched his hands on the monster?s throat. The Demon Cat reacted and grabbed onto his hair. The White Dragon and the Demon Cat fell off the dragon and to the ground, five hundred feet below them. Sailor Moon found Mamoru, who had killed three of the four remaining ninjas. The only one left fit to fight was the Silent Cat. His mask had came off, and his shirt had been shredded, dripping blood from all the open wounds. ? Silent Cat!? Sailor Moon ran over and began her healing sequence. ? Moon Healing Escalation!!!? she cried out. Mamoru froze, and he was restored to his normal self. The Silent Cat collapsed on the ground, and died instantly. Mamoru looked up and saw Sailor Moon, hugging him and tears flowing from her eyes. He held her back, and then looked at the four dead bodies around him. ? What?! Where am I?? he asked. ? Mamoru, calm down! You?re okay now.? Sailor Moon assured. ? I just wish that I had gotten here in time.? Mamoru looked at the four ninjas, pools of blood under their bodies and the blood on Mamoru?s hands. ? What have I done? Who are these people?? Questions came out of his mouth, and Sailor Moon tried her best to answer them all. ? Mamoru, just relax. We have to get out of here. My master will help us.? Sailor Moon said to him. ? Master? What are you talking about?? he demanded. Sailor Moon stopped at the spot where the Cat Ghoul and her had last been. He was nowhere in sight. Sailor Moon wouldn?t blame him. She had really hurt his feelings, and he was also in love with her. ? Sailor Moon, what?s going on here?? Mamoru asked for the hundredth time. She sighed and explained everything. ? It was all pretty weird, but when you disappeared, the other senshi and I had found out that there was this one monster behind it all. The monster was the son of Luna?s old lover. But I wasn?t here with them. I found myself with a bunch of white hooded people, and they told me that I was the chosen warrior that was suppose to destroy him.? ? I saw that monster. He killed me, but now I?m here with you.? Mamoru said. ? But where are we?? ? This is the past. I was receiving training from a master by the name of the Ghoul Cat Reincarnation. I was ready but you arrived and was brainwashed by the Demon Cat.? Sailor Moon replied. Mamoru looked at the bodies. ? But what are these ninjas doing here?? ? They were my training partners and friends. I tried to stop and help you, but my master took off with me and the other four stayed behind to give us time to escape from you.? ? I?m so sorry. I didn?t mean to?? Mamoru sputtered. ? I?m?? Sailor Moon took his hand. ? Please, we have to get out of this place and to the present time. The beings in the heavens said that I can travel up to the clouds, and that was where they will be.? The two headed out, but Sailor Moon wondered about her master. She had to talk to him, or he will forever live in the pain that she created for him. Minako?s head began to hurt. She and Makoto had remained in a safe place in the palace, along with Luna, Artemis and the Imperial Beings. ? Minako, are you all right?? Makoto asked, looking at her flushed face and sweaty hands. ? I..I don?t feel so?? But before she could finish her sentence, Minako?s eyes flashed red, her nails growing into five inch claws and her hair flew wildly about her face. ? Kill them all!!!? The Demon Cat?s voice rasped. ? Kill them, warrior of the Demon Cat!? Minako uttered a cry and thrashed her arms at Makoto. The Time Lord contained her in an energy field, where Minako began to struggle to get free. ? What?s wrong with her?!? Mishi asked. Manx and Faith both took their daughters away from her. ? Fools!!!? Minako cried. ? The Demon Cat will find you all! As long as I am here, he will know where to look!!!? Makoto had enough of this. ? I?m transforming now! Either we fight that Demon Cat, or I fight him alone! I?m not going to stand here while everyone else is dying!!!? Makoto transformed into the senshi Jupiter. ? Makoto, wait! He?s too dangerous for you!!!? Luna cried out. ? Makoto, you don?t know what you?re up against!? Artemis shouted. But Jupiter had already gone outside the door. The Demon Cat had gotten his claws around the White Dragon?s neck. Blood sprayed like a fountain. ? You cannot stop me! I am true power!!!? The Demon Cat swiped his claws at the White Dragon?s face. Shin Lung came to his aid, but the Demon Cat fired out a black energy blast and shattered the pearl at the end of its tail. Shin Lung disappeared, and the White Dragon?s sword clattered on the ground. ? This is the end of you!? The Demon Cat tossed him towards the wall. He crashed into it, and left an imprint where he hit. ? SUPREME THUNDER DRAGON!!!? Jupiter?s attack sent the Demon Cat flying to the ground. He looked back and saw Sailor Jupiter standing there. ? Reinforcements? Don?t play around with me, girl.? The Demon Cat got up, and walked slowly towards her. Jupiter shot out more thunder and lightning attacks, but the Demon Cat absorbed it like he was a giant sponge. Jupiter ran from him, and then prepared another attack. ? SPARKLING WIDE?? The Demon Cat?s arms extended and grabbed her face. He was about to crush it when the White Dragon streaked by like a white snowball and chopped off the arm. Jupiter managed to get the bloody arm from her face. ? Sailor Jupiter, why aren?t you with the others?? The White Dragon asked. She kept a fighting stance, and answered, ? I?m not gonna stay playing chicken when there?s a monster loose here.? The Demon Cat stood there. It seemed as if he didn?t care about his arm being cut away from its socket. ? Don?t make me kill you both.? He said. ? I want to destroy this whole planet in one shot.? ? DEMON GATE!!! Cat Ghoul, come forth!!!? Dragonbard had summoned the master ninja, which stood before the Demon Cat. Wing and Sailor Mars had also arrived. Pluto and Sapphire came as well. ? You will never get the World Destroyers. If we must perish for the sake of the earth, then we shall as long as you are killed too.? Wing said. She created a ball of light and shot it forth at the Demon Cat. He smacked it aside. ? Your attacks will never hurt me.? The Demon Cat?s body split, and then reemerged as his fourth form, holding Angelyne and the Cat Ghost?s daughter, the four year old Kitten. She was crying and trying to break free of his grasp. ? Kitten!? The White Dragon exclaimed. He looked at the Demon Cat. ? How could you have gotten her?? ? Apparently she wandered too far from her territory, and is now in my possession since the beginning. Give me the World Destroyers or I will have to start with her.? Kitten?s cries for help became louder. ? You animal!? Pluto shouted. ? Let her go! It won?t do you any good if you kill her!? ? It will do you plenty bad if I kill the daughter of the ninja legend. It won?t matter if I die now, because I will have someone to keep me company!? he laughed. Sailor Mars and Jupiter kept their distance. Sapphire flew away to the Time Lord. ? Time Lord! The Demon Cat has Kitten in his grasp! What shall we do?? she asked. Manx let out a gasp. ? No! My granddaughter! She isn?t here?!? The white Persian cat ran out of the room, with her daughters following. Manx saw him, standing in his fourth form, holding Kitten in his giant arms and right in front of his heart. The warrior would never be able to kill him with Kitten blocking off his only weak point. ?Demon Cat! Let her go!? Manx cried out. Artemis and Luna held her back, but her tears amused the Demon Cat. ? Say hello to your grandmother, dear Kitten. See how much she cares for you? And your aunts! What will happen if you weren?t around to see me kill them all.? he said. Kitten cried even harder. ? You monster! That?s your niece you?re holding!? Manx continued. The Demon Cat laughed hysterically. ? Mother, my niece isn?t too young to die, and neither am I. But we both must go, or we all must go.? ? DEMONCAT!!!? The Cat Ghost and Angelyne stood with the now crowd of angry and scared fighters. ? Give my child back to me!? Angelyne shouted. The Demon Cat took the girl and placed his other hand on her face, his claws nearly piercing her skin. ? Mommy, help!!!? she hollered. ?Daddy and Mommy are here, Kitten! Don?t worry!!!? Angelyne said. Dragonbard gripped his staff tightly. He kept his eyes on Kitten, the Demon Cat and the Cat Ghost. ? Ghost, the warrior is on her way. I cannot train her any further. She has to rely on whatever she learned now in order to save your daughter.? The Cat Ghoul said. ? If only I could fight him, but my body is still of a ghost.? He murmured. Manx?s daughter Crystal floated towards the Demon Cat. ? Get back.? he snarled. ? Or I will break her head.? Crystal, the seductress of all cats, kept her place a few feet in front of him. ? Demon Cat, let our niece go and I?ll give you the love of any woman you desire. You could be happy for the rest of your?? The Demon Cat grabbed her in his arms. ? Sister, love means nothing to me. But as long as I have you in my arms as well, I am more than protected.? He jeered. Crystal was as powerless as Kitten was in his hands. ? Does anyone else have anything to offer me before I kill these two?? he asked. ? Hand the World Destroyers over now, because my tolerance has ended. I must kill them now.? ? Very well.? The Time Lord came in, with Faith and her daughters following. ? What?!? Everyone in the room was surprised. Kit and Pup were in the Time Lord?s arms, about to be handed over to the most maniacal killer ever born. ? Time Lord, you can?t!? Luna exclaimed. He paid no attention to her. ? My Lord, you aren?t serious!? Wing watched in horror as he was inching closer to the Demon Cat. ? We have no choice. The Earth is doomed.? The Demon Cat leered as the two were in front of him. He let go of Kitten and Crystal and prepared to grab the two. ? Now!? The Time Lord commanded. Dragonbard cried out, ? DREAM MIST!!!? A thick area of fog filled the air, similar to Mercury?s bubbles. The White Dragon ran and grabbed both the World Destroyers and got to safety. The Cat Ghoul pulled Crystal to safety, and Angelyne carried Kitten in her arms. ? NOOOO!!!!? The Demon Cat absorbed the mist and saw a red rose in front of him. He looked up, and on the balcony was Sailor Moon, holding a dagger in front of her. Tuxedo Kamen stood by her. ? Sailor Mars! Sailor Jupiter!? Moon looked and smiled as she saw her friends, but where was Mercury and Venus? The Demon Cat was furious. He gave out an enormous cry of frustration, and transformed into his fifth and last form. His whole body had become red and black, his spikes shooting straight up. The claws on his hands and feet grew, and his size increased too. He towered nine feet tall, and tried to reach for Sailor Moon. ? Attack now!? Fang and Lynx both entered the room, and jumped onto the Demon Cat. They were quickly flicked away and landed on the others. ? Sailor Moon! Be careful!!? Luna shouted. Mars and Jupiter launched out some attacks, with no good. Neither the senshi nor the other fighters could penetrate his red skin. ? This is it! Strike his heart now!? Sailor Moon heard her master?s voice, but suddenly stood there stiff. ? Sailor Moon!? Tuxedo Kamen and the Cat Ghoul both ran towards the Demon Cat, hoping to push him away from Sailor Moon, but someone broke in the room, and sent both flying through a wall. The Cat Ghoul and Tuxedo Kamen fell to the bottom of the palace, and saw that the attacker was Minako, still under the control of the Demon Cat. Sailor Moon moved out of the way just in time. The Demon Cat was suddenly hit by Mar?s and Jupiter?s attack, but it had no effect on him. He merely swatted them all aside and continued to fight Sailor Moon. ? Die!!!? Minako clung onto the Cat Ghoul, tearing at his mask until it had come off. He pulled her away and tossed her aside. ? Kamen, look out!? Minako ran towards Tuxedo Kamen, slashing his face with her claws. He grabbed at the wounds, blood dripping from them. The Cat Ghoul began to fight her, and he was impressed as to her incredible fighting skills. ? The master shall destroy you all!? Minako hissed. She swung her arm and hit the side of his face, which followed up by a knee to his stomach. Minako finished it by clamping her fingers on his neck, and crushing the Cat Ghoul?s neck to powder. Kamen looked up, and through the redness of the blood, he could still see that his friend was in trouble. ? Minako! Stop!? He ran to her, but she just raised her free hand back and gored him through his stomach with her claws, increasing its size and length. Kamen received them, and he felt all five blades. His vision then went black. Minako threw him up to the highest floor where everyone had gathered, and Sailor Moon saw his carcass slam against the wall. Blood oozed down the cracks, and soon afterwards Minako came up, dragging the body of the Cat Ghoul with her. She dumped it on the ground in front of Sailor Moon as well. ? No!!!? She threw the dagger, but it missed the Demon Cat?s heart. Lynx couldn?t watch any more. He faced the Cat Ghost. ? Ghost, give me your strength.? He said. The Cat Ghost looked down at Lynx, and understood what he meant. He closed his eyes and his spirit was now inside Lynx. The cat was instantly transformed into a human ninja, and jumped up to Sailor Moon. He grabbed her and went to another part of the room. ? My daughters! My friends, give me your strength! The chosen warrior will have the power of all of us!? Lynx, in his newly human form, cried out. Manx and her daughters held hands, and closed their eyes. A blue wave of energy suddenly engulfed them, and they were instantly transported inside Lynx?s spirit. He began to grow. Fang and Faith both gave themselves, and so had the daughters. Lynx?s sons gave in their now ghostly bodies, as well as Fang?s own sons. Ami, from the future world, suddenly felt her body gradually fade away in a mass of blue energy. Darwin?s eyes nearly bulged as he saw this, but before he could say anything, Ami disappeared, and the other senshi had done the same. Minako, still under the hypnosis, began to claw at Lynx. He swatted her aside, and she split into two. Minako looked at her left and saw Sailor Venus, who also did the same. ? Hurry and give us your strength! We cannot wait any longer!? Lynx said. Lynx became almost as large as the Demon Cat, who stood there, waiting to see what they were up to. ? Sailor Moon, take my hand. Finish him.? Sailor Moon hesitated, but took his hand, and was instantly transformed into the ninja Usagi with the dagger in her hand. She raised the blade up, and walked towards the Demon Cat. ? Lynx, whatever you have done, you will never destroy me, for I am the end of the world!? The Demon Cat tried to clamp his gigantic hand on Usagi?s face, but she acted faster, and stabbed the dagger on his shoulder. Twisting the blade upwards and to the right, and amputated the red slab of muscle. He received the same on the left arm. ? You?re going to pay for my Mamo-chan!? Usagi impaled the blade on his chest. ? For my master!? She stabbed him again. ? And for all my other friends that you have hurt and killed!? The Demon Cat felt his power decreasing. His face retched, and he barely had enough energy to stand up. Driving the monster to his knees, Usagi prepared the final blow. ? This cannot be! I am indestructible!? The Demon Cat bellowed. ? No! You are merely my insanity made flesh! Any creation of mine can be destroyed if I overcome it!? Lynx?s voice echoed through the hollow room. ? Only a true warrior knows where his limits are, and ultimate power is never in a person?s grasp for long.? The Cat Ghost Spirit?s voice also was heard. ? On behalf of the Moon, I will punish you!? Sailor Moon?s voice ended the talk, and she drove the dagger through the Demon Cat?s heart, a place where no such thing existed in an evil person, but gave him the power to do his maniacal work. Silence filled the air, and the Demon Cat fell to the ground. His carcass began to melt, and the soul came out?a bright yellow ball of energy. Everyone that had banded together to give Sailor Moon the strength she needed came back. Lynx looked at himself, a whole cat again. ? I?m alive!? he cried out. Manx ran over to him, and the two touched their heads. The children gathered around, including the males that had died. Angelyne, Manx?s oldest daughter and the only married female looked for her husband. He stood there, his white ghost flesh turned back to a human skin color. He turned around, and opened his arms. Angelyne ran over to him, her arms wrapping around him, and tears falling out of her eyes. ? You?re back!? she cried, ? I knew that you would!? Kitten ran over to them and joined the hug. Sailor Moon looked around, everyone filled with joy and relief. The four Sailor Senshi gathered around their leader. ? Wow. You actually did it. I never thought that even you could withstand his might.? Mars said. ? Yeah, you shoved that blade where his weakness really was.? Jupiter added. Venus said nothing, but gave them a smile. ? I know that I wasn?t really a big help, and I was mainly the problem.? ? Don?t say it!? Sailor Moon said. ? Your spirit helped me achieve this, and without any one of you, I never would have done it.? Mercury looked around, and had no clue as to what was going on. ? Excuse me, but where are we?? she asked. Sailor Moon pointed outside. Mercury looked, and saw that she was above the clouds, a palace above the earth and across the moon. ? Darwin!? Mercury suddenly shouted out. Looking frantically everywhere in the room, she could not find the one man she had really been attracted to, but the faces of new people. ? Who?? The other senshi looked around. The Time Lord walked over to her. ? The person you call Darwin has been punished for his crime. By releasing the Demon Cat, he has been sentenced to the death and his spirit is now drifting on the earth somewhere.? Mercury?s eyes filled with tears. ? But you can?t! I love him! No one knew that he was the one who let the monster loose, but you can?t punish him for a crime he didn?t know he committed!? ? Sailor Mercury, I assure you that you will be granted a significant amount of gratitude from the High Heavens. You and the others shall be transported to the Earth now. The time web shall be restored.? ? But?? Mercury?s eyes froze, and she and the others had been transported. Usagi, being reverted to Sailor Moon, stayed behind for a few moments, and looked at the two dead bodies that hadn?t been brought back to life? her lover, Tuxedo Kamen, and her greatest friend, the Cat Ghoul. The Demon Cat had never killed them. It was Minako, under his spell, and the prophecy said that all that had died from the Demon Cat were to be revived when his death came. Sailor Moon touched Kamen?s face, his blood disappearing, and his skin glowing a bit. Tears began to form on her eyes, and slid down across her cheeks. Sailor Moon thought it was over, but it wasn?t. This wasn?t a happy ending, nor was it bad. But her love had perished, and she saved the world from destruction. ? Are you okay?? Dragonbard and the White Dragon stared at Sailor Moon, who was nearly going to burst. ? Why did they have to die?! It?s?it?s not suppose to happen this way!!!? she cried, burying herself in Dragonbard?s arms. The White Dragon pulled her away from him, and held her chin between his fingers. ? Look Sailor Moon.? He pointed to the Cat Ghoul and Kamen. A cloud of light surrounded them, and their bodies soon vanished. Kamen?s rose and mask were the only things left behind accompanied by the Cat Ghoul?s mask. ? Don?t you see?? Dragonbard asked. ? Their bodies may have been destroyed, but their spirits are still alive. As long as you remember them, they will never die.? Sailor Moon managed to hold her tears, and nodded gently. Her memories of Mamoru and Tuxedo Kamen were too foggy to remember, but the Cat Ghoul, he was the only thing in her mind now. He said that no one loved him because he was a monster, but he had touched her heart. ? I?ll always remember you, Mamoru Chiba and the Ghoul Cat.? Luna and Artemis stood for a while, staring at the other two talking cats. ? Well, I guess we?ll see you another time.? Artemis said. Lynx nodded. He hadn?t forgotten about the incident where he had slain Artemis. ? Artemis, please remember, Luna is a beautiful creature. Please take care of her that way I should have.? Artemis nodded. ? I will. You are a great warrior, and a true friend. It?s no wonder why you are the savior of all cats.? Manx gave a message to Luna. ? Luna, please forgive my husband for his past deeds, but remember him for his heroic work. He will always love you, and so shall the rest of us. You are never alone, and we will watch over you and the Senshi from the Heavens. Whenever you need help, we are here for you.? They said their good-byes and were sent to the present time. The Time Lord faced the White Dragon. ? Dragon, that senshi?see to it that her gift is arrived on earth. Take this.? He handed him a ball of pure energy. The White Dragon nodded, and hurled the sphere towards the earth. He saw the light sparkle, then disappear soon after. ? Pluto!? Sailor Pluto walked up to the Time Lord. ? Yes, your highness?? she said. He presented her with a scroll. ? Put this in the Chronicles of Time. This chapter has ended, and a new one shall begin.? Pluto smiled. The Demon Cat was destroyed, Lynx and the Ghost Cat were reborn, the entire heavens had been restored, and all the fighters were brought to life. Lynx looked at the blood on the dagger. He couldn?t help but think about the victim, his strongest son. The son that had actually made him proud yet disappointed him greatly. ? Put this in the Chronicles of Time. This chapter has ended, and a new one shall begin.? Pluto smiled.

He couldn?t help but think about the victim, his strongest son. The son that had actually made him proud yet disappointed him greatly. He took it in his mouth and hurled it towards the bottom of the sea. That day?in the year 2054? Ami woke up the next morning, in her new house and neighborhood. She looked round and saw that she was nearly twenty years old, but it felt like she was only a fourteen-year-old yesterday. Ami gazed at her body. Her hair had gotten a bit longer, but it was the same to her. Ami?s breast had fully developed, and her legs were as long and beautiful as Makoto?s had been when she was a teen. She was a woman. Looking at her left, Ami saw a picture standing on the drawer top. She took a look at it. It was her in front of a tank, and standing next to her was Darwin. ? I don?t believe this.? Ami heard the door to her bedroom open, and she turned around to see who it was. ? Hey honey. Did I wake you up?? Darwin, in a suit and tie, sat next to Ami. ? D-Darwin?? she asked softly. Darwin placed a finger on her lip. ? Hurry up before we?re late for the wedding.? He said. The news struck her like a ton of bricks. She threw her arms around him. There was a lot of explaining to do. The End. Well, how was this ending? Of course, the bad guy died, and that kinda hurt me because he was based on me and the name was actually my nickname. But it was a great story overall. Yes, with the great help of my co-writers, I actually had some good romance in here. I tried my best to get a part where every character had participated in something, but I didn?t get that chance, what with school and all. I actually had some great things that I wanted to put in there, but maybe I?ll save that for another fanfic. Seeya guys and girls!!!! Danny ?DemonCat? Chen
