Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ A Clash of Royal proportions ❯ The Final Hour ( Chapter 14 )

Clash Of Royal Proportions   Chapter 14   The Final Hour   Serena looked at the generals in shock, “Why?” she asked on the verge of tears. “Why? Because she offered us anything we wanted in return for helping her.” Malachite sneered. “And what is that?” Rei asked shielding Serena and Darien with the other scouts. “That, my dear would be you four.” Jedite said pointing in turn to all four of the girls. “NO!” Serena screamed and tried to get in front of her friends, “I won’t let you take them!” she yelled and she transformed. “Now, now princess, there’s no need for that now is there? If your mother would just give up her throne and give it to me nothing would have to happen. But one thing would, you MUST die!” Beryl hissed at Serena. Darien held her closer to try and protect her and asked, “Why? Why does she have to die?” “Because! She has taken something away from me that can never be forgiven! She took away love from me and for that she must pay!” beryl said as she lunged forward the attack.   Beryl was stopped before she could even reach the princess and turned to see Selenity using the millennium crystal against her. “You dare appose me!” she shrieked, and turned her attack on Selenity. “MOTHER!” Serena yelled as she broke free of Darien and ran to her mothers’ side. “Serena! No, go back!” Selenity said to her daughter. “NO!” Serena said facing Beryl, “she has come to MY home to destroy MY loved ones, and I won’t stand for it! Beryl if you want a fight, you have one!” she said, anger burning in her eyes. The crescent moon on her forehead was glowing brighter than ever before, and she called on her friends for help, who rushed to her side. “You think you can defeat me! You have no chance!” Beryl laughed as she watched the scene before her. The ground beneath them quaked at the tremendous power, Selenity watched in fear as her daughter fought for their survival, but if all else failed she knew what she had to do.   Darien unsheathed his sword and went to attack Beryl, only to come face to face with his four former best friends. “Come now Darien, let the girls fight it out between themselves, you have us to deal with!” Kunzite said and lunged for Darien. “I don’t want to but if I have to I will destroy you to protect her!” he said as he blocked the attack. “You may be able to defeat me, but you can’t defeat us all!” he said as the others began to attack as well. Darien blocked blow after blow, twisting and turning as he was bombarded with attacks from his former generals. His skill with a sword proved very useful as he brought down two of them, but as he brought down the third; Malachite’s sword landed in his shoulder and he cried out in pain.   “DARIEN!” Serena screamed as she rushed forward to help him. Beryl took advantage of this moment and hit her in the back with a dark energy blast, knocking her to the ground. “SERENA!” the girls screamed and lunged for Beryl only to be struck back to the ground clutching their newly formed wounds. “You said they wouldn’t get hurt!” Malachite said rushing forward to Mina. Beryl simply laughed and said, “I lied!” and knocked him out cold. “Finally! Finally I get what should have been rightfully mine! No one can stop me now!” Beryl yelled and let out an insane laugh that sent shivers down everyone’s spine.   “Not so fast Beryl!” Selenity said from behind her, “You may have defeated us, but you have not won!” Beryl turned to face the queen, “do you not have eye’s Selenity! I have won, you can do nothing to save this kingdom or your precious daughter!” she said and she let out yet another insane laugh and was engulfed by dark energy. “That’s what you think!” Selenity said and she closed her eyes. Selenity began to glow and the crystal formed in her hands, “Beryl, I am going to send you somewhere you cannot hurt anyone again! You have cause to much damage to be left free, so now you will be trapped in a place of no return!” she said and the crystal began to glow with fierce intensity. “What! NO! What are you doing!” Beryl screamed as she shielded her eyes from the light, “NO! I’m so close! You can’t do this to me!” she shrieked as the light of the crystal engulfed her and her followers.   Selenity collapsed to the ground from the exertion the crystal caused, and turned to face her daughter. “It’s over now my child, there’s only thing left for me to do,” she said as she closed her eyes once more and focused her energy on Serena and the others. She invoked the power of the crystal once more and whispered to the wind, “please, take my daughter to the future where she will be safe from harm, let her live a normal life; but if she ever needs it she shall have the power to transform into the champion of justice. I love you Serena…” she said and a small tear fell from her cheek as she watched her daughter and the others being sent to the future. “It is done, they are safe,” she said and broke down crying, she felt a hand on her arm and turned to find Damion looking at her with thankful eyes. “Thank you Selenity, now I know they will live a safe and happy life, and we have nothing to worry about, true love always works out in the end, they will find each other once more in the future,” he whispered to her, for most of his life’s energy had diminished. “I know, and thank you for all you did Damion; good bye,” she whispered with her last breath As they both drew their last breath, it was the symbol of the end of an era, but the beginning of a new hope.   @#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@   Man that was a sad chapter -,_,- , I know it was short, but I just had to write this down, the next chapter is going to be my last for this story, so I hope you all liked my story.
