Chapter 10

Ami's revenge

@@@@ Dream sequence @@@@

Ami was standing in the middle of a battlefield.

"Huh?" she wondered. Reaching forward, she was immediately zapped by a sudden jolt of electricity. Ami pulled her hand away. Then, she watched patiently. What she saw next horrified her.

There, she was tangled up in vines, calcified. Beryl was holding up a ball of energy, laughing. A stream of pure energy escaped from her tiara gem and went into the ball. It was obvious that Beryl was draining her of her life force. Before long, Cosmic Sailor Mercury slumped unconscious, as the vines lowered her. Ami looked around and saw the planetary princes were weakened terribly, most probably from the battle.

Ami saw something was glittering in Endymion's hand. She gasped when she realized that somehow, Endymion had ripped the broach out of Cosmic Sailor Mercury. Then, Endymion and Beryl faded into the darkness, leaving behind 5 very weak princes and 1 dead senshi.

However, before they could disappear, Cosmic Sailor Mercury had stood up, as if risen from the death. She was lifted in the air and images of Sailor Mercury (both Star and Crystal make-ups), Eternal Sailor Mercury, Universal Sailor Mercury, Princess Mercury and Neo-Queen Mercury appeared behind her. Then, the 6 images merged with Cosmic Sailor Mercury. In a blinding flash of light, the Celestial guardian of Mercury appeared. Her fuku was a mixture of her Cosmic senshi fuku and her Neo-Queen gown. In her hand, she held the Staff of Wisdom. Then, she opened her eyes. They were of an ice-cold blue, void of all emotions. Turning to the 2 dark beings, she raised the staff and yelled, "Artic Winds."

A huge gust of chilling wind blew towards the 2 evil beings, freezing them on immediate contact. Then, closing her eyes and concentrated, a bright flash of light shot down from the sky and destroyed the 2 frozen statutes (for lack of a better word description). Then, she fall, headfirst. However, before she hit the ground, a column of wind cushioned her fall. Then, she was gently placed on the concrete ground.

Ami blinked, "What was that all about?" she wondered.

Then, she was blasted away from the scene without warning.

@@@@ End of dream @@@@

Ami woke up, sweating. Glancing around, she smiled gently at the sleeping princes. She was about to get up, when she felt an arm around her. Following the arm, Ami gasped when she saw that Ray had draped his arm around her. Sighing in despair, Ami gently removed Ray's arm and stepped outside.

Sitting at the edge of the corridor floor, Ami closed her eyes and let the night wind blow right in her face. Thinking back to her dream, Ami frowned. She knew almost all of her dreams are prophetic. If that was so, than, the dream could only mean that the legendary guardian will be revived. Ami gasped. She remembered from the old books in the Mercurian library that the legendary guardian was ruthless. She could kill anyone without battling an eyelid. Although she was the all powerful Mercurian guardian, she never cared a second for either her comrades or her enemies. Ami shivered, according to the dream, she was destined to be the guardian.

"Ami?"

Ami snapped her head towards the voice.

Kenny stood behind her, worry evident in his eyes.

Ami smiled weakly at her twin brother. "I'm alright. Just a nightmare." she replied, answering the unasked question.

Raising a brow at his sister, Kenny asked, "So, what is it about?"

Ami replied, "Onii-chan, do you remember what father told us about the Celestial guardian?"

Kenny nodded.

Ami shut her eyes and replied, "I am her."

Kenny looked shocked, "What?"

Ami gave a small nod. "Just keep this from the others okay? I don't want to freak them out."

"Alright." Kenny agreed. His sister has always put others before her.

@@@@ The next day @@@@

The whole Beybreakers team had arrived at their hotel, hours before their match. Ray had just moved out of his old hotel room and into Ami's room. Kai and Tyson had glared at him, daring him to move. Ray shrugged and said that he was merely giving them some privacy, leaving the 2 bladers wide-eyed.

Ami giggled at the account from her boyfriend. "I should have seen their faces."

Ray smirked and then frowned, "Ames, I know you are hiding something. Come on, spill."

Ami smiled innocently, "I'm not hiding anything."

Ray replied, "You know you can't fool me, Ames. Your eyes always give you away."

Ami blinked and nestled her head on his chest, "You're right. I should have known better than to fool you."

She sighed and continued, "Ray-koi, remember what I told you about the Celestial Mercurian guardian?"

Ray nodded. He knew the guardian was heartless.

"I am her." Ami ended, smiling sadly.

Ray blinked, hard. Pushing her away gently, Ray said, "How did you know?"

Ami replied, "Most of my dreams are prophetic. I dreamt about the final battle. All of you were too weak to battle. Beryl had just drained me of my life force. Then, the guardian appeared and destroyed both Endymion and Beryl."

Ray nodded. He knew his girlfriend would never lie.

Pulling her to him Ray promised, "Ames, Celestial guardian or not, my love for you will never change." Then, he sealed that promise with a kiss.

Ami gently smiled and kissed back, "Thank you."

Stepping back, Ami replied, "I'm taking a shower."

Ray nodded. Then, he head the sound of water running. Pulling out a velvet box, he fingered the ring in it. Sighing, he knew he had to pop (wink, wink) that question. He had bought the ring a week earlier, on impulse. It was as if he knew she would be back. For the last few days, he had been hesitating. Then, after what she had told him a few minutes earlier, he knew he could not delay.

@@@@ In the bathroom @@@@

Ami removed the bracelet and took out 2 halves of a transparent stone. She smiled slowly at the images on both the stones. One stone had her image and the other was of Ray's. She had gotten the soul-stones from Pluto at the Time Gates. Striping off her clothes, she stepped into the shower. A few minutes later, she dried off and changed.

Stepping out of the bathroom, Ami noted that Ray had changed into a new set of clothes. Raising an eyebrow, Ami commented, "Nice."

Ray smiled, "Thanks."

Then, he gave her a quick kiss on the cheek.

Pressing Ray's half of the soul-stone into his palm, Ami whispered, "I will explain later."

Ray nodded, looking at the crystal half in his hand.

#### In Kenny and Max's room ####

"So, who are we up against this time?" Ami asked.

"Ray's old team." Kenny replied, without looking up from his laptop.

Ami raised an eyebrow. Then she said, "I'm going up against Mariah, bro. No questions asked."

"How come?" Kai asked, surprised at his surrogate sister.

Ami smirked, "Let's just say I have a 4-year-old score to settle with her."

Then, she turned and went back to her room to prepare for her match.

~ Ami's thoughts ~

"So, finally we get to battle each other. Like I said before, Mariah, I WILL pay you back double for what you caused me."

~ Flashback ~

12-year-old Ami was walking up the mountain to the peak with Mariah. The temperature was dropping rapidly as the 2 girls got closer to the top. Noting the snow-covered path, Ami had warned Mariah to be careful, only to be shot back by a warning glare that obviously told her to shut up. Ami shrugged. Mariah had been very unkind to her for the last couple of months, after ayi had announced their relationship to the entire village. Ami frowned, "Could it be that Mariah has the same feelings I have for Ray?" she wondered. Shaking her head, Ami remembered that Ray had told her he had always treated Mariah like a younger sister. She thought Mariah knew as well. But boy was she ever wrong.

When the 2 of them neared the mountain peak, something unexpected happened. Ami had her back turned towards Mariah as she fingered some of the snowflakes that had passed by them. Then, Mariah pushed Ami off the mountain. Ami had grasped at a protruding root to break her fall. Looking up, she saw that Mariah was laughing, manically. Tears in her eyes, Ami asked, "Why, Mariah?' The pink-haired girl had answered that she would only become Ray's girlfriend when Ami was dead. So, why not pick the best moment, like now, to kill her. Besides, the sacred powers of Mercury should go to her, and not to the tramp that one of the village's scouts found. Smirking, Mariah had left Ami to perish in the wilderness. Ami could only look helplessly when the root started to snap. When the root finally gave way, Ami would have fell down to the mountain if the 4 guardian beasts of Mercury had not saved her.

~ End of flashback and Ami's thoughts ~

**************************************************************** *********************

@@@@ Finally at the Battle Dome @@@@

Ray had dragged Ami towards the direction of Jazzman (more like the stage he was standing on).

Tapping Jazzman on his shoulder, Ray had `borrowed' his microphone. Kneeling down, Ray presented the velvet box he had, opened.

"Ames, I love you for who you really are. Will you make me the happiest guy on Earth and marry me?" he asked, dreading for her answer.

Ami blinked hard, obviously taken aback. Taking a moment to recover, she smiled and nodded, "Yes, Ray."

Jumping up, Ray hugged his fiancée happily. Slipping the ring on her right ring finger, he kissed her.

"You have no idea how happy you've made me." Ray whispered into Ami's ear.

"Ray? Remember the stone I gave you?" Ami asked.

Ray nodded.

"It is your soul-stone. I have mine too." Ami smiled, revealing her half.

Ray took his half out and placed it alongside hers. The 2 halves fitted perfectly with each other, forming a complete circle.

Smiling at the completed circle, Ami commented, "Definitely soul-mates."

Ray nodded in agreement.

~ Back at the Beybreakers' side ~

The rest of the team blinked.

"Okay . . . What just happened?" Tyson asked.

"Ray just proposed to my sister." Kenny answered, wide-eyed.

Everyone else nodded, surprised.

~ On the White Tigers' side ~

Lee commented, "Well, that was unexpected."

Gary nodded in agreement, "Who would have thought."

Kelvin just looked around at the older members of the team, obviously confused.

Mariah had growled in anger. "How could he? I should be the one to marry him, not that witch."

~ On the Beybreakers' side ~

Ray and Ami had just returned from the little confession on Jazzman's stage.

Everyone looked at the newly engaged couple with interest.

Raising an eyebrow, Kai asked, "So, now you decide to pop the question? About time."

The 2 of them blushed, fingers entwined.

"I APOLOGISE FOR THAT UNEXPECTED INTERVENTION. IN TODAY'S MATCH, THE BEYBREAKERS ARE UP AGAINST THE WHITE TIGERS' TEAM. SO, WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, LET IT RIP!" Jazzman announced over his microphone.

First match, Max against Gary.

Max won the first round pretty easily, with the help of his reawakened powers.

Second match, Kai against Lee.

It was a tough battle, ending with a draw.

Third match, Ami versus Mariah.

Slipping her hand away from Ray, Ami raised her transformation glove and shouted, "Cosmic Mercury Power, Make-Up."

In a flash, Cosmic Sailor Mercury appeared. Taking her blade, she stepped into the ring.

Both blades were launched, clashing with each other.

"So, the traitoress has reappeared." Mariah smirked.

Cosmic Sailor Mercury raised an eyebrow, "Traitoress? To whom? The tribe or you?"

"Both. You stole Ray away from me. And I bet it was you who told Rei to leave the village." Mariah accused.

"Let me get 2 things straight, Mariah. First, Ray left the village on his account. I never told him to. Second, there was never anything between the both of you. Ray had told me before that he only treated you like a younger sister. Besides, I wasn`t the one who pushed the Chosen off the mountain." Cosmic Sailor Mercury stated matter-of-factly.

"Galux, Cat Scratch."

"Wrong move, Mariah. Articuno, Ice Entrapment."

"What?"

Galux was forced back into its bit, the ice cage tightening around the blade.

Cosmic Sailor Mercury smirked, "As you can see, no one bit beast can ever force its way out." Meanwhile, Mariah's blade was slowing down.

"Time to finish this. Articuno, you know what to do."

The ice-blue blade was suddenly in the air. "Articuno, Mercury Ice Cyclone."

The blade landed right on top of Mariah's blade, shattering the ice cage. Then, a gale of ice-cold winds blew in the battle dish, forming a massive cyclone. Mariah's blade was turned the opposite direction. Then, it shattered into dust.

Mariah was devastated. "Like I said before Mariah, I will pay you back double for what you caused me. Just be lucky that I decided to spare the mountain cat you call a bit-beast." Cosmic Sailor Mercury replied, icily.

Turning towards her teammates, Cosmic Sailor Mercury walked back. Ray looked at her, in shock. "Ami, why did you do that?" he asked.

"She deserved it. If pushing me off the mountain isn't enough, she tried to steal my transformation pen. You know pretty well that Mercurians hold their grudges for a very long time. She's pretty lucky I decided to spare that cat she calls a bit-beast." Cosmic Sailor Mercury finished and walked away from the team.

**************************************************************** **********************

SailorStar9: Err . . .I think I was a bit too harsh on Mariah, shattering her blade and all. * sheepish face *

Muses: nods in agreement.

Ray: *whispers to Tyson* Remind me NEVER to piss your cousin off.
