Chapter 25

                                It Has Begun
                                  Phantom Defeat


   Small Lady held Luna Ball to her chest and stared up 
at the screen. Pictures of the fight outside the shield flashed
across the screen. A panel of crystal knobs and dials was in 
front of her. King Endymion stood behind her, the only sign 
he was watching the screen was the flexing of his hand that 
held a staff by his side. That staff threatened to snap in his 
hand when the laugh came. Small Lady took a step back from 
the computer as the well know laugh echoed in the room. 


     She felt a hand on her shoulder and looked up at her Father. 
King Endymion stared at the screen before him. The mask he 
wore kept his daughter from seeing the pure hate in his eyes as 
the Doom Phantom appeared in the sky. The Luna Ball hummed 
in Small Lady's arms and she held it tighter. Looking back up she 
some how willed the tears not to fall, as she had been willing them 
since the fight began. She had too be strong, like Sailor Moon.
Like her Mother. 

****
   
    My eyes flashed silver with anger as the laugh rung in our ears.
Placing my hand by my side I closed it into a fist. Silver light shown
through my fingers. I turned and threw my hand into the sky. The blast
of energy flew toward the black shape. It hit a shield around the 
Doom Phantom and disappeared. "Impressive, Sailor Star."  he mocked.
I hissed something through my teeth. Knowing I could never get a hit
on him I faced Toris on the ground. "Aim for Toris." I whispered to
those around me. Sailor Moon looked at me. With one last glance of 
hate into the sky Sailor Moon lowered her gaze toward Toris. The hate 
she held for the Doom Phantom was now centered on the Rath. 


     I fought the urge to step away as Sailor Moon looked at Toris.
"If looks could kill." whispered Xzafer Knight. I nodded in silence.
Sailor Moon raised her hand above her and a gold shaft of light
appeared. It solidify into her Moon Staff. My own staff hummed
in my hands and I looked down in surprise. Jerking my head up I
saw the silver gem that sat in the middle of the six sided star
begin to glow. "Is that supposed to happen?" asked Star Knight.
Sailor Light shook her head, her own staff glowing at the symbol.
"It never happened before." she said. Sailor Moon looked at us.
"With all the power we have been giving off our staffs could
react." she said. "Does it mean anything, Sailor Star?" asked
Falcon. I glanced over my shoulder to see everyone looking at
this new development. "Not to my knowledge." I said. 

   "What'cha going to do with those little glow sticks?" asked Toris
as he neared. The Rath and Yoma behind us moved away and the half
ring began to push us back, away from the shield. "We've got to do 
something! We can let them corner us!" said Onyx. I allowed myself
to step back once before I raised my staff. As I slammed the end toward
the ground I whispered. "Silver Strike." A flash come from my staff and
the ring in front of us was blow back a few yards. I flipped my staff and
pointed the symbol toward the ground. Out of the corner of my eye
I saw Sailor Moon and Sailor Light do the same. Those standing behind
us took a few steps back. "?Star'.. ?Moon'.. ?Light'..Power Lights."
we said softly. Energy formed around our staffs and struck the ground.
The power laced out across the ground and the recovering circle closest
to us turned to dust. The silver, gold, and white power traveled across the
area toward Toris. With a growl Toris jumped back as our power reached him.
Some of the Yoma that had once stood behind him turned to dust. 


    We looked in mild surprise as the power went past even that and 
traveled
into the group. They began to jump wildly around to avoid the glowing
ground. When the attack faded from the ground we had scattered the whole
group. I tilted my head to the side. "Okayyyy." I breathed. "Go, Go!!Now!" 
hissed Corran. Using the distraction was moved forward to recover our 
position
we had lost. The Guard and Shiro Kage rushed forward to attack the monsters
still disoriented by the chaos. Yoma and Rath turned to dust.

  Wolf used his sword to turned a Yoma to dust. Sailor Neptune flew past 
him
and struck out at the next Yoma. "Deep Submerge!" It was dusted.

  "Venus Crescent Beam..Smash!" Sailor Venus's attack burst through
two Yoma's chests and they turned to dust also. 

   Sailor Saturn used her grave to fight. Lynx used his sword to
dust Yoma. Trapped between two Yoma, Sailor Saturn looked
calm. As they both leapt at her Sailor Saturn raised her grave
above her head and spun around. The blade slashed through them
both and they were dusted. Lynx moved into a position to protect
her back. 

    "Mercury Ice Strom..Blast!"  Sailor Mercury threw her attack at
the monster in front of her. She expected it to turn to solid ice and
then burst apart. But instead only half its body froze and Sailor
Mercury was to close. She tried to move back as it made a grab for
her. She felt talons rap around her arm and then loosen. She looked
at the monster in shock and then noticed the blade through it chest.
The Rath turned to dust and Sailor Mercury smiled at Zoisite standing
behind. 

     I moved toward Toris, ignoring others around me. Faintly I knew
that Xzafer Knight was following me from behind. I saw Sailor Moon
and Sailor Light coming in from two other directions. I gripped my staff
as I stopped a few feet from Toris. Sailor Moon and Sailor Light stopped
also and together we made a triangle around Toris. Slowly Toris turned 
looking at each of us, knowing he was now trapped. I felt Xzafer Knight
move away from us and saw Tuxedo Mask and Star Knight leave also. 

  I glanced down to Onyx as she took a position next to me. I saw Luna
and Eclipse move by Sailor Moon and Sailor Light. I had thought to do
another attack on Toris when I remembered Toris was the most powerful
Rath I had ever meet. My eyes glowed silver as I slowly moved my staff
in front of me. Sailor Moon looked through gold eyes at Trois and moved 
her staff vertically before her. Sailor Light moved her own staff in front
of her and blinked white eyes. Unbidden a smile came to my lips.
"Good-Bye." I said. 

    "?Star'... ?Moon'... ?Light'....Ecstasy" we whispered. Three beams shot 
into the air from our staffs and meet above Toris. Where the beams meet 
they formed a three color ball of energy. Silver, gold, and white lights 
swirled 
together in the ball. With a roar of rage Toris threw himself at me just as 
the
ball flashed and fell toward him from above. As the ball hit Toris it 
seemed to
explode into light. A rush of wind swept past us and I used both hands to 
hold
my staff steady. When I was able to look all I saw was glowing rock
pieces on the ground. They soon faded and nothing was left. Toris 
was gone.


    I turned to the fighting behind me. Star Knight, Xzafer Knight, and 
Tuxedo Mask 
created a barrier behind us to keep the new surge of monsters from reaching 
us.
"We've got to get to Sailor Mercury! We need to shut down the portals!"
I said to them. My eyes scanned the field before I felt a hand on my
shoulder. "There she is!" said Sailor Moon pointing past a group of
Yoma to the blue scout and Zoisite. They had been pushed close to
Sailor Uranus and Falcon and together were fighting off the Yoma.
"You get to her Sailor Moon. Tell her what has happened." I said.

   I saw the flash of her hair as she raced toward them. "Tuxedo Mask!"
Sailor Moon yelled over her shoulder. He looked behind him and 
broke away from Star Knight and Xzafer Knight. He had lost his
hat long ago and he cape was only dead weight now. As he meet up
with Sailor Moon he raised his hand to his neck and shrugged the
cloak off. It fell behind them as he ran. Sailor Moon looked at
Tuxedo Mask from the corner of her eye, making sure he was alright.
She didn't need his protected but it comforted her to know Tuxedo Mask
was watching her back along with Luna. 

   Tuxedo Mask extended his cane through the Yoma in front of them.
It exploded into dust. "Right!" yelled Luna. Together they jumped to
avoid the Rath that had come up next to them. In mid-air Sailor Moon
spun and pointed her staff at the Rath. "Moon Power Lights" she
commanded. The gold ball shot from the Moon Staff and hit the
Rath. They travel through the dust. 

    "Uranus!" yelled Sailor Moon, raising her voice for the first
time, hoping to be heard above the noise. Sailor Uranus turned
at the call. Her sandy blonde hair stuck to her forehead and she
had a cut high on her right leg. "Arch it!" commanded Sailor Moon.
Falcon looked at Sailor Moon, confused by the command he did
not understand. But Sailor Uranus understood. "World Shaking!"
As the power came from Sailor Uranus's hands she turned on her
heel. The attack curved in a half circle and then closed on the Yoma
that fell in the brake. Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mash raced through 
the whole in the ring. Sailor Moon flashed Sailor Uranus a thumbs up
sign and Sailor Uranus nodded. 

    Sailor Moon reached Sailor Mercury. Griping her shoulder the
scout turned toward her and Tuxedo Mask took her place in the
fighting. Together both he and Zoisite pushed back the ring around
Sailor Moon and Sailor Mercury so they could talk safely. 
"There are three or more portal over there Sailor Mercury."
Sailor Moon pointed back in the direction she had come from.
"And we need a way to shut them down, now!" "Hai!" said
Sailor Mercury as she turned and tapped her earring. A blue
visor flashed across her eyes. 

     I ran up to Xzafer Knight, who was having some trouble with a Yoma.
The Yoma had pushed in so close to Xzafer Knight that he could
no longer get off attacks that hit their mark. "Onyx" I commanded.
Startled, Xzafer Knight turned to look at me as Onyx jumped at
the Yoma. Using her weight Onyx pulled down the Yoma's arm.
Lowering my hand a Star Scabbard flashed into it. I threw it at 
the Yoma as Onyx jumped away. "Shards.....Shock" I whispered
The star broke into pieces that hit the Yoma. The pieces flashed and
formed a silver net across its body. With a cry it turned to dust.


   Sailor Light raced toward Star Knight. "Eclipse" she said.
With a burst of speed the gray cat jumped over Star Knight
and lunged at the Yoma in front of him. His eyes widened as
he watched Eclipse twist in the air and knock the weapon from
the Yoma. Recovering Star Knight slashed his sword across the
Yoma. A silver line appeared across the Yoma's body before it
turned to dust. "Come on." I said to them as I turned away.

    Sighting Sailor Mercury I ran toward her. We were half
way across the area to them when I saw the Yoma. My eyes
widened. "Ah, Lie." I whispered. Sailor Moon was not paying
attention to the fight around her and was only looking at
Sailor Mercury. Luna was doing the same. The Yoma would hit 
Sailor Moon for sure. As the Yoma raised its blade I saw Sailor
Moon shift her weight ever so slightly. Relive flooded me as she
turned and meet the attack with her Moon Staff. "Sailor Moon!"
cried Luna as she notice the Yoma for the first time.

   The force drove Sailor Moon back a little before she was
able to bring up her foot and kick the Yoma. I saw the flash
of metal as Sailor Moon's kick landed against the Yoma.
Sailor Moon jerked back harshly as the Yoma was pushed back
by her kick. Sailor Moon stumbled to the side before she 
steadied herself and raised her hand. "Moon Blast" I heard
Sailor Moon say. A ball of gold shot from her hand and dusted 
the Yoma. 

   The movement around Sailor Moon separated and I saw
a line of gold on the lower part of her leg. Something from
the Yoma had pierced through her white boot and cut her leg.  
Sailor Moon hissed in pain and knelt to look at her leg. Her gold
blood ran down her boot and collected by her foot. "Daijoubu,
Sailor Moon?" asked Luna. Sailor Moon looked into her worried
red eyes and stood. "I'm fine. The cut is not deep." she said to the
cat. "What happened?!" asked Tuxedo Mask from behind her.
"I'm fine." Sailor Moon insisted to them. "Its not deep." 
Blue eyes gleamed through the white mask on Tuxedo Mask's
face. He did not look convinced. 





    I did not like the look of things. I changed my course and ran
up a large piece of fallen crystal. "Sailor Star!" yelled Xzafer Knight
when I suddenly swerved behind him and ran up the crystal. From
that height I jumped into the air and spun. Throwing my staff into the
air I placed my hands together. Completing the spin I flung my left hand
toward the group around Sailor Moon. "Silver Star Streams." I whispered.
Three silver ribbon flew out and rapped around different Yoma. The streams
flashed and the Yoma turned to dust. As I landed I simply let the energy 
ball
in my right hand disappear. Raising my hand I caught my staff and sprinted
toward Sailor Moon. 

  Sailor Moon looked up in surprise as three Yoma were dusted
and I ran up to her. "You're hurt." I accused. "So are you." she
said back, pointing to the stained green cloth around my arm.
I let the matter drop and turned away. "I've got it!" cried Sailor Mercury.
We turned toward her as she pushed a few more buttons on her small
keyboard. A black flash came from the direction of the portals.
"I shut the portals down." said Sailor Mercury as she turned toward
us. "Well done, Sailor Mercury." said Sailor Moon. 

   "Indeed, Sailor Mercury. To all of you sailor brats, well done."
I jerked my head up into the sky. The Doom Phantom did not 
sound mocking anymore. He sounded irritated. "What's the matter,
Doom Phantom!?" Sailor Light yelled from the ground. All movement
stopped and all the Rath and Yoma moved away. We looked at 
the black shape in the sky. "Are we proving to be more then you
expected!" she continued. I clinched my teeth as another laugh
rolled across us. "You have proved to be more irritating." said the
Doom Phantom. "He calls us irritating." hissed Xzafer Knight with
a grimace into the sky. 


   "But, lets see how you fair against this! Time to die!" The 
Doom Phantom raised his crystal ball above him and a blast
of black power shot toward our group. I predicted what he
would do and was already moving out of the way when the
Doom Phantom raised the ball. "Scatter!" I yelled. We broke
into different directions as the beam hit the ground and cut a
path across it. I felt heat run across my back and pain flashed
up my right leg as something cut into my skin. I was thrown
off balance in the air by a rush of wind and landed harshly
on my hands and knees. Every bone in my body shook.
Onyx landed next to me and fell on her side. "Oh, Onyx!"
I raised my head to see if she was okay and felt something
fly past me. Wisps of something soft brushed my cheek and
I saw the colors of gold and white. It took a second to piece
it together. "Sailor Moon!!" I yelled as the gold and white body
hit the ground, rolled, and slammed against a piece of large crystal.
Others yelled out and Tuxedo Mask pushed himself up and hurried
over to Sailor Moon's side. Inside my head I could have sworn I
heard Small Lady's own cries echo with ours.

*****
 
    "Lieeee! Sailor Moon!!" Luna Ball fell to the floor with a thud.
King Endymion made a dispirit grab for his daughter but his
hand only brushed Small Lady's shoulder as she bolted for
the door. The movement caused King Endymion to stumble
to the side. When he looked up Small Lady was already out
the door and he could hear her running foot steps. The staff he
held landed next to Luna Ball on the floor and King Endymion
rushed toward the door. "Small Lady!" he yelled into the hall.
It was to late, she was out of sight and he had no idea which
way she had gone. King Endymion turned left and ran down 
the hall. He went the wrong way. Small Lady was already running 
down the stone steps to the right even before King Endymion got 
out of the palace.

   Tears had yet to come as Small Lady ran as fast as she could
down the garden path toward the shield. She could see the
figures beyond the shield, could see Sailor Moon struggling
to stand with Tuxedo Mask's help, could hear the Doom Phantom's
laugh. Small Lady burst through the shield and ran for Sailor Moon.
"Sailor Moon!" Something told my mind that the sound I had just
heard was not supposed to be there. I turned my head and saw Small
Lady racing across the field toward the hurt Sailor Moon. Cries went
up from all of us.

    At the call Sailor Moon painfully forced her head up. "Small Lady."
she whispered harshly. "The Rabbit!" screeched the Doom Phantom.
He raised the crystal ball again and the beam shot out. Sailor Moon
tore from Tuxedo Mask's arm and forced herself to run, to be faster
then the beam heading for her future daughter. Small Lady froze.
As Sailor Moon grabbed Small Lady she kept running toward the
shield. With a burst of speed Sailor Moon leapt through the shield
and rolled. The black beam hit the shield and raced up it before
disappearing. Sailor Moon used her arms to protect Small Lady
from her weight as she rolled into the grass. Pain upon pain laced
through her body as Sailor Moon forced herself into a sitting position.

   "Sailor Moon, are you alright?!" asked a frantic Small Lady.
Sailor Moon winched, she didn't believe she was bleeding
from any big wounds but the landing had hurt every part of her
body. "Hey, kid. I'm not going anywhere fast, got it." she had as
lightly as she could. Luna raced through the shield to them.
"Oh, Sailor Moon! Are you okay??" she asked, her voice higher
then it should be. Sailor Moon forced a normal sounding ?fine' for
her adviser. The cat didn't buy it for a minute.  
    






    Small Lady flinched as a shadow fell over them. Sailor Moon
looked up to King Endymion and stood. "Keep her here."
said Sailor Moon as she handed Small Lady to him. She turned
and jumped through the shield back into the fight. King Endymion
stood silently with Small Lady in his arms. Small Lady watched as
Sailor Moon ran back to Tuxedo Mask. Small Lady then noticed
that her hand was wet and sticky. She turned it over slowly and looked
at it. Her hand was covered in gold liquid. At first she thought it was
her own blood but she felt no pain from a cut. Then she realized that
the blood had come from Sailor Moon. She lifted her head and looked
out at Sailor Moon through the shield. Tears did not come before, but
they came now. 

   The Doom Phantom shot another beam after Sailor Moon
had jumped to safety inside the shield with Small Lady. Any
Rath or Yoma to slow to move out of the way was turned to
dust by the Doom Phantom's own attack. The beam travel across
the ground as we all raced to get out of its way. Running off to the
side Sailor Venus and Sailor Jupiter turned to face the shape in
the sky. "Venus Crescent Beam..Smash!" "Jupiter Thunder..Crash!"
The yellow beam was surround by lightning and raced toward the
Doom Phantom. The double attack did nothing but turn the Doom
Phantom's attention to them. Nephrite grabbing Sailor Jupiter's arm 
and jumped to the side. Malachite and Sailor Venus ran in the
other direction.

   I stood and raced away from the beam as it cut a path next to me.
"What do we do?!" yelled Sun Knight as he rolled behind a crystal
for shelter. My lips pressed into a thin line. What could we do?
There was nothing any of us could do alone but if we grouped
together for an attack the Doom Phantom would have a clear 
shot at us. I slid to a stop when the beam traveled away from me.
Onyx stopped next to me. "We are sitting ducks like this."
she said. I nodded grimly. "All of our powers just hit that shield and
we can't group together." I said. I was startled when Sailor Moon ran
up to me. "Are you alright!" I yelled. She was holding her right side
and breathing deeply. "I'll live." she gasped. "At this rate that may not
happen." said Sailor Light. I turned and saw white blood coating her
leg. None of us would get out of this without some injury. 

    I looked up into the sky and glared at the Doom Phantom.
He was busy shooting at a very angry Sailor Pluto, Sailor Saturn,
and company. Suddenly Sailor Saturn was thrown to the ground and
Lynx knelt beside her. Slowly I saw Sailor Saturn lift her head and
stare at the Doom Phantom floating above them. Her eyes were glowing
a dark purple. Lynx got up and backed away as Sailor Saturn stood.
"She's not going to do what I think she is going to do, is she?" asked
Luna. "We've got to stop.." said Sailor Light but I put up my hand
to stop her. "Lie! Let Sailor Saturn do it." I said. Sailor Light's hazel
eyes widened and she looked about to argue. "I agree. Nothing we've
done has any effect. Lets see what she can do." said Sailor Moon
"You've all gone mad." whispered Eclipse. "Hai, we have. But this
may be our only good chance to get out of this alive." said Onyx softly.
"But she'll be killed!" cried Luna. "Not when time puts itself back 
together." I said "Remember none of this was ever supposed to
happen." 

   The sky seemed to turned black as Sailor Saturn raised her
grave. A wind picked up and then became wild around us.
I reached behind me and held back my hair to watch.
All movement from the others stopped as they also turned
to look at Sailor Saturn. "Do you think you can.....!" yelled
the Doom Phantom. He was cut off as Sailor Saturn's voice
rose above everything. "Death Ribbon....Revolution!"
It was like a storm had just broke. Many of us were forced
to kneel on the ground as debris flew about. Others fell as they
were pushed off balance by the wind. I felt Xzafer Knight behind
me and he rapped his cloak around me. He put his chin on my head
and protected me from the driving wind. I looked out to see black
ribbons stream up from Sailor Saturn's grave and rap around the
Doom Phantom, cutting off his beam and engulfing him. There was
an unearthly cry and everything turned into chaos. 

   We were tossed to the ground and Xzafer Knight landed on top 
of me. The air rushed out of my lungs and my cheek was pressed
onto the cold ground. Apollo was thrown about in the air like a
rag ball. Sun Knight stood as the bird was tossed over him and
grabbed Apollo from the air. They both sank back down behind
the crystal. Everyone held on to what they could or flattened themselves
as much as possible. And then everything stopped.

    I pushed my head out from under the cloak and looked around.
The sky was still black but the wind was gone. A distance away
Sailor Saturn fell forward onto the ground. The grave slid from her
hand and she lay still. Lynx rushed forward and pulled the limp body
into his arms. "Oh, Christen....." whispered Sailor Moon. She was 
kneeling next to Tuxedo Mask. Luna and Artemis lifted their heads
off the ground next to them. People rose and started to come forward.
Sailor Mercury jumped up from behind a rock and rushed over
to Sailor Saturn and Lynx. I didn't listen to what she said, I know that
the Guardian of Saturn had given her life with her attack. I lowered my
head toward the ground before lifting it back toward the sky. A gasp
escaped my lips. "Its not possible." said Sailor Light in a shaky voice.
Sailor Moon raised her head and her mouth fell open. In the sky was
still the black ball of energy from Sailor Saturn. As we watched it slowly
fell apart. "Was that your best, sailor brats!" yelled the Doom Phantom 
with
his laugh.







   I stood slowly, Xzafer Knight backing away from me. This was
it. Sailor Saturn was the most powerful under us. We now had no
choice in the matter and all three of us knew it. Sailor Moon and
Sailor Light stood also. Star Knight backed away to stand with
Xzafer Knight a distance behind us. "What are you doing to do?"
whispered Tuxedo Mask. He stared at Sailor Moon until she lifted
her head to him. A gasp escaped Tuxedo Mask's lips and he stepped
back. Sailor Moon's eyes were once again glowing bright gold.
"Stopping this, now." she said in a strange calm voice. Luna turned
and began to push Artemis back. Tears escaped her red eyes and were
lost in her fur. "Wha, what's going on Luna?" asked Artemis as she
pushed against him. "We've got to get back. Please, just trust me."
Luna said in a thin voice. Artemis allowed himself to be guided back
to the others. Star Knight came forward and garb Tuxedo Mask by
the arm to bring him back. "Hey, no, wait!" cried Tuxedo Mask.
"What's going on!" he demanded. His hand brush his face when 
he tried to get Star Knight to let go. Tuxedo Mask's white mask
flew from his eyes and onto the ground. 

    "She's dead." said Sailor Mercury as she stood. She tapped
her earring and her visor disappeared. "Its the price of her power."
said Sailor Pluto in a solemn voice. "Did you really think you could
beat me!" cried the Doom Phantom. Head snapped up to look at
the floating shape. "He's still alive!" cried Falcon in astonishment.
"We'll beat you!" yelled Sailor Jupiter in defiance. "We wont let you
win!" yelled Lynx from the ground. "You can try!" laughed the
Doom Phantom as he raised his hands again. "Run!" commanded
Malachite. Everyone raced in different directions as the black beam
was shot toward them. Lynx picked up Sailor Saturn's body and
ran. He had to run, had to fight for both of them. 

   "We need to move, now!" said Onyx as she looked at the three
of us. "But,!" Tuxedo Mask tried to say. "Not now!" cried Xzafer Knight
as they ran around the edge of the field. Star Knight had to push and
pull Tuxedo Mask around the area. Sun Knight jumped up and joined
them from behind the fallen crystal. 

   Rock exploded into the air. A cold wind whipped against skin
as they raced around avoiding the black beam. Fallen pieces
of building crystal exploded when the beam cut across them, adding
to the debris flying about. The air rushed out of Sailor Jupiter's lungs
as something hit her in the stomach. She fell to her knees and Nephrite
pulled her up. "Down!" yelled Wolf as he pushed Sailor Neptune to the
ground. A branch of some tree flew over them and they scrambled to
their feet before the Doom Phantom could react to their fall. Jadeite
grabbed Sailor Mars's arm and pulled her back as the black beam arched
in front of them and looped around. Pushing her sideway they avoid getting
their noses cut off by inches. To stop was insane and no one could  
get off an attack. No one could find an opening to attack in. 




   I lifted glowing silver eyes and looked around. The sky above
the Doom Phantom was still black but the sky above us was braking.
Beams of sunlight cut through the clouds that were now white. Silver,
gold, and white dust fell from the sky and swirled around us on the wind.
I let go off my staff and it disappeared by my command. Power gathered
around us without a call from us. I raise my hand and slid off the Star
Crystal from its place on my bow. Already it hummed and felt warm in
my hand. I waved my hand over it and the lid disappeared. My star
insignia burst to life on my forehead and mixed with the gold and
white light coming from Sailor Moon and Sailor Light. "This ends."
I said. "Now!" all of cried. Our cry got the attention of the Doom Phantom
and everyone else. They looked at us, seemingly the only bright spot in an
area of deep black. The only light they could see came from us. The black
power of the Doom Phantom tried to escaped from us. It moved away from us
like we were a source of pain. The light around us followed its retreat, 
claiming
more and more space. 

   "Do you believe you can beat me, sailors!" cried the Doom Phantom
as he turned the beam toward us. The black ball of energy floated in his
hands. Cries of the others echoed in the air, telling us to move, to get 
away. 
The beam raced at us, but as it got closer to the light around us it began 
to slow. The beam slowed until it stopped and began to move back as the 
light pushed out. "How is this!" cried the Doom Phantom and pushed
the beam harder toward us. Pain rushed through my body but I refused to
let go, refused to allow this evil to win. The black beam began to creep
through the light toward us. We raised the crystals above our heads.
Silver sparks fell around me like a shower. "Show them the power of the
High Kingdoms." I whispered to Sailor Moon and Sailor Light. 

    "We've got to regroup!" yelled Sailor Venus, hoping against hope
that they could hear her above the noise. Many of them gazed at the light,
mesmerized to say the least. Others slapped them on the shoulders to get
their attention and some pulled them along. "What is that?" asked Kodiak
as all of them grouped off to the side. "I don't know." said Sailor Mercury
with her visor out. "The power readings are off the scale." she gasped.
"The powers of the High Kingdoms." said Sailor Pluto her keen eyes
watching us from the safe distance. Some looked at the Time Scout.
"I'm getting really sick of wind." muttered Sailor Mars. "It will get 
worse."
said Onyx. The other group ran up to them. "Much worse." said Luna from
next to her. "What are they doing!" asked Zoisite. "Ending this all." said
Eclipse in a tired voice. "What did you mean by the wind will get worse."
asked Sailor Uranus with a wary look. "Get down!" yelled Luna suddenly.
Those to slow to obey were knock down as a wall of wind rushed across the 
land.
Sailor Uranus grunted as Wolf fell sideway over her. "Never mind." she 
gasped as she pushed the Shiro Kage off. 








   The wind rushed up from behind us and tossed our hair and clothing
about, but we remained on our feet. The wind raced into the sky and
pushed at the Doom Phantom. For second the beam weakened as
her cried out but them it came back strong. I took a deep breath.
"Cosmic...... ?Star'..... ?Moon'.... ?Light'....Power.....Unite."
Fire burned within my veins and it felt like my heart would stop.
A large circle of colored light burst from around us and pushed
against the beam from the Doom Phantom, slowly driving him
back in the sky. Both the power from the crystals and the power
born within us flowed out into the sky. My hands began to hurt
from the crystal. My body blazed in pain and my arm was as fire
where I had been cut. I felt my Sailor Fuku disappeared and my
dress replace it. Deep green cloth and a silver sash whipped around
me in the wind. Serenity had her white dress with gold rings. 
The sheer bow on the back of her dress flew out behind her. Alaina's
own white dress with diamond had a thin material that covered the skirt 
and shimmered in the wild wind. Our insignias flashed brighter on our
foreheads. 

    "No, this can't be! Not when I'm so close!" yelled the Doom Phantom
as our power began to engulf the beam. The Doom Phantom pushed
the beam harder toward us. "Oh!, his's still fighting." cried Serenity.
"Keep it up!" yelled Alaina. "I will win!" yelled the Doom Phantom.
The beam seemed to explode against our power. "Ah!" Our feet slid
across the ground as we were pushed back but were remained standing.
Fatigue and pain raged in us as we fought with all we had. 
"Oh!" something flew in front of Serenity's face. She only noticed it
was white before she turned her attention back to the power flowing
from her. 

   The piece of white continued to fly on the wind away from the
glowing light. The picture in front of Small Lady blurred, both
by the driving wind outside and by Small Lady's own hot tears.
She continued to push against King Endymion's chest, trying to
get away. "Let me go!" she yelled. King Endymion held on to
her and said nothing. Tears streamed down her face and the
hand covered in blood was closed into a fist. The piece of white
hit the shield and stay there for a second before pushing through.
In a reflex King Endymion caught the piece of white between 
two fingers. Small Lady froze and looked at his hand. Between
his fingers was a white mask, just like the one Tuxedo Mask wares
and the one King Endymion wore now. Small Lady saw Serenity
get pushed back and the others forced to the ground by the wind and
debris. All of it ran together in her mind and Small Lady screamed.
She continued to scream when her moon insignia flashed and blazed 
gold on her forehead. King Endymion's eyes widened as he was
thrown back and Small Lady fell to the ground. 






   She scrambled to her feet and jumped back through the shield.
"Ah!" Small Lady was almost picked up like a rag ball and
tossed into the air by the wind. She managed to regain her footing
a few yards away from the others. "Small Lady!" yelled Tuxedo Mask
when he saw her. Staying on her hands and knees Small Lady crawled
over to him and he grabbed her in his arms. "You're hurt!" said Tuxedo
Mask when he saw her hand. Small Lady shook her head and point
into the light. "Its not my blood, its Serena's." she yelled. Suddenly
Tuxedo Mask bent over her and grunted as he was hit by some rocks.
"You should have stayed inside the shield!" yelled Sun Knight, ducking
down to avoid getting hit. "Lie! I understand now!" argued Small Lady,
trying to get out of Tuxedo Mask's arms. "Nani!" yelled Tuxedo Mask.
"She knows where the Moon Crystal from this time is!" yelled Onyx
to be heard over the wind. "I have to help!" cried Small Lady pushing
against Tuxedo Mask. "Small Lady, I can't let you......" said Tuxedo Mask.
"I know where the Moon Crystal went when I lost it, right into my
body!" yelled Small Lady over him. "Like her Mother, the Moon Crystal
can be kept within her body until called or needed!" explained Luna.
They now had to scream to be heard over the wind. Debris and rocks
flew about in the wind and hit them. Sailor Neptune cried out when she was
hit in the shoulder and fell over. Sailor Mercury couldn't move to help any 
of
the others who were hurt. 

      "I promise I wont lose the Moon Crystal again, Tuxedo Mask, but
I have to use it! I have to help!" With one last pushed against Tuxedo 
Mask's
chest and Small Lady fell to the ground. She lifted her head toward the sky
and screamed with all her soul. "Cosmic Moon Crystal Power!"
A tear that was on her cheek burst into light. They were all blinded as
more gold light flashed across the sky. It seemed as if the whole city now
burned with gold light. "What, this can't be!!!" they heard the Doom
Phantom yell. The light faded into a strong glow and they looked up.
Small Lady floated in front of them with the Moon Crystal in her hands.
A bubble of gold light was around them, keeping out the wind and
debris. 

   We were startled when a second gold power flared.
"Oh, Small Lady." whispered Serenity. "She did it." I said,
my voice soft and almost gone. "Now, do it now." I commanded.
"Celestial Power." all three of us said. Three colored beam flashed
down from the sky and surrounded us in our colors. Tears began to
slid down my face. Everything burned. Inside the palace, Neo Queen
Serenity lay. Suddenly the moon insignia on her forehead flashed to
life and her blue eyes opened. The room exploded in gold and there was
a loud crash that could be heard even past the shield. King Endymion
whipped his head around as the room where his wife lay blazed in gold.
Small Lady did not falter when a feeling laced through her body. 
The feeling of power, of safety, and of love made new tears come.  






   The beams around us became transparent. I didn't need to
look next to me to know who was there. Neo Queen Serenity
was back and she was mad. "She's turned into Neo Queen Serenity!"
gasped Sailor Venus. Heads turned as everything was shrouded in light.
The light engulfed Small Lady. "Small Lady!" yelled Tuxedo Mask.
Star Knight grabbed him. "Lie! She's okay." he yelled. "Look!"
yelled Jadeite as he pointed toward us. Neo Princess Serenity now
stood next to her Mother. We raised our crystals again. 


   "No! I will win!" yelled the Doom Phantom as he made a last attempt 
to pushed the black beam toward us. It stayed still for a second before 
moving
back again. "Doom Phantom!" yelled Neo Queen Serenity, her voice
rising above all noise. "go away forever!" screamed Neo Princess Serenity.
We all pushed our power and everything flashed out in light. 
The power grew, covering the field and moving out until all of 
Crystal Tokyo was glowing in power. The power rapped around the
other Sailors, Guards, and Shiro Kage healing them and lifting them
off the ground. The shield around the Palace fell as our power
spread over it. From the sky all the city was covered.

    My body burned in pain as the power moved around us.
I felt the cuts on my leg and on my arm heal, the skin knitting 
together. There was one last blast of pain the ripped through my 
body and I knew no more.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You like? Wow, I am really happy with this story. The only
thing I am not happy about was I forgot  things within the
story. Did you catch them? I forgot about changing Darien
into Earth Knight. I forgot about having Sailor Moon have
all the scout powers. And I went to fast to get in Sailor Light's
Guardian test. She just kind of showed up in Guardian form.
Oh, well. But, I like how the story came out. My hands hurt
like the dickens!
Next time:   I have decided there will be an epilogue. Just a nice
ending to the story. What happens after we win?

Thanks!
