Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ Alecto's Run ❯ Dreams Can Be Powerful Things ( Chapter 6 )

Chapter 6: Dreams Can Be Powerful Things

From last time: You'll never get him back. You should have awakened earlier. Now it's too late Sailor Alecto. The Yousuke you knew is gone forever. Much like your human self will be once Yousuke is done. You'll be stuck in the form you are right now. Hope you like being an astro-projection.

Alecto stood there in utter shock. How and why would some other person telling her such horrid things? None of it made sense. Unless there was someone who had made Yousuke this and was determined not to have her or Yousuke regain their full memories. She was now determined more than ever to make sure she accomplished her goals.

How she wished Yuri wasn't so darn stubborn about the situation. She would try one more time to try and join with Yuri, even if it meant she would have to fight the senshi to convince Yousuke that she knew things that could help him. She knew now that she not only had to get Yousuke back, but to find out who this other person was.

She appeared in front of Yousuke, "I've come to a conclusion."

"Oh? And what would that be?" he asked.

"I'll join up with you. It will be better for me and her. So please talk to her and tell her this."

"What made you change your mind?"

She looked down at the floor, "Our past. I know we don't remember everything but I want to remember. It will be the only way we can truly be together again."

"It will hurt a little when you get turned. I know you have only been good and to have such a taint on you will be hard."

No way will you turn me. I'm a lot stronger than you think, she thought to herself, "As long as I can be with you again it will not matter."

Yuri walked into the room and saw he was talking to her, "What does she want?"

"My dear she wants to join up. You will be complete after this."

Alecto walked over, "Close your eyes just for a second."

Yuri did as she had been told. Alecto knew this might be the biggest mistake of her life, but it was worth the risk. Yuri opened her eyes and looked at herself to see if anything had changed. She felt a little different.

"I know it has to be a little weird at the moment, but you should slowly regain some memories of the past." he looked down looking a little disappointed, "There will be no way to regain all of the memories even though that would be the best thing in the world."

"I'm still a little tired from everything, so I'll go get some more sleep."

He nodded as she walked out of the room. She went into the bedroom and laid down on the bed. There was a light blanket at the foot of the bed and she pulled it up over her shoulders and went to sleep.

-----------------------------------------------

Yuri wakes up and notices that she is henshined. She walks down a grand staircase that is in a huge lobby of a building. She walks outside and a cool breeze hits her face. She knew this place, but from where?

"Yuri!"

She turned around and Yousuke came running up to her. He looked worried about something.

"What is it? Is there something wrong?"

"Problems are slowly rising on the other planets. Someone is taking over each of the planets and I think this one is next. We have to go somewhere safe. At this point it doesn't matter where we go. Our parents know of this danger and want us to leave so that we can at least carry on and hopefully rebuild this system."

She walked over to a small bench and sat down trying to think of who could be causing such destruction. She would not let her planet be taken so easily. If her planet fell the system would be lost, not to mention every single person living there.

"Yousuke we need to take a stand and try and stop this person." she took his hand, "We can't run. If we do we will forever be running. Please let us just stay here. It wouldn't be fair for just us to survive."

He sat down next to her, "You know we're the future of this system, our way of life will be lost. Not to mention we will loose each other."

"I will not leave. I can fight and if I have to with out you."

"You don't mean that." she looked away from him, "Yuri we've always fought together and done almost everything together since we were small. Don't let this tear us apart."

"Isn't this sweet?" a voice asked, "I get to kill both the prince and princess at the exact same time. How nice of the two of you to be together this one last time. Now you get to die together."

He got up and stood in front of her, "Yuri get out of here. This is the person who has destroyed the rest of the system. He will not stop until he gets rid of us."

The guy took his sword out and held it at his side. Yousuke then pulled out his and lowered it to his side, "Please leave before you get seriously hurt. I just need to hold him off then I promise I will catch up with you."

She went running back into the building and up the stairs. She knew of something that could possibly seal the guy away and she would need to do something that was forbidden. She quietly walked into her parents' room and pressed a button to open a hidden passage way. At the end of the passage way, on the pedestal in front of the wall, lay a sword and a crystal. She took the sword in hand to test how heavy it was. It was surprisingly light. On the wall was a sealing spell that was only to be used in desperate times and only as a last resort. She put the sword back into it's holder and put th belt on that held the sword. Yuri took the crystal in hand and recited a few words, "Lnocdym uv fydan, ed ec desa vun oui du pa icat eh drec ruin uv haat. Bmayca keja sa dra cdnahkrd haatat du ramb sa net drec funmt uv ed'c drnayd. Dra bnehla yht E ycg vun ouin ramb. Fa yna bnabynat du myo tufh uin mejac vun dra cyga uv cyjehk uin funmt. [Crystal of water, it is time for you to be used in this hour of need. Please give me the strenght needed to help me rid this world of it's threat. The prince and I ask for your help. We are prepared to lay down our lives for the sake of saving our world]" (just a side note about what language this is in..it's in Al Bhed [one of the languages of Spira from Final Fantasy X-2] and there are several online translators that will translate this for you)

The crystal shown brightly and took it's place in the center of her gem on her bow in the front of the senshi fuku. A pair of wings slowly unfolded themselves from her back and her tiara changed to the mark of her royal family line (which is a blue star with a "white" center). She ran back out of the passageway and out of her parent's room and back towards the stairs.

Yousuke had been hit so hard from the previous blast that he couldn't get up from where he had landed. The guy slowly lifted his sword and went to deliver the final blow when Yuri quickly pulled out her sword and stopped it from hitting Yousuke. She had to struggle to get the guy to distance himself from the two of them. Yousuke knew where she had gotten the sword from and why she looked different. How he wished she hadn't chose to get those objects.

"Yuri why?" he asked quietly.

She struggled with the guy to try and push him back just a little. Yuri had only trained very briefly on how to fight with a sword. She pushed harder against the sword and finally managed to make the guy loose his balance.

"I had no choice. The two of us are the final line of defense for this system. We need to fight for those who have been lost."

"But if we are lost there is no hope for rebuilding."

She turned around and knelt down by him, "Look at you. You're seriously hurt and need medical help. I'll do fine."

"To use the sealing spell properly two people must offer their lives for it to work."

"I know that, but the sealing can still work with one person."

The guy regained his footing and laughed to himself, "You think the two of you can seal me?" the two looked of them looked in the direction he was. "I've never heard something so ridiculous in my life. You can seal me but I will be back one day and I will take my revenge on both of you."

Yuri looked back at Yousuke not knowing if it would be worth it to lay down her life. He brought his hand up to her face and gently brushed her cheek with the back of his hand and whispered, "It doesn't matter what he says. We need to do this for the sake of sparing this planet."

"I know." she stood up offering her hand to him. It hurt to stand for Yousuke, but he had to perform this duty.

Yuri took the sword handle in both hands and lifted it up above her head then slowly lowered it straight out in front of her, "Yc dra bnehlacc uv Ymaldu," [As the princess of Alecto]

"Yht yc dra bnehla uv Vaoa [And as the prince of Feye]," Yousuke said placing his hand over hers.

Then together, "Knayd caymehk cfunt fa uvvan uin mejac du caym drec ajem yfyo. Fa ycg vun bayla du lusa du drec funmt yvdan fa ryja tabyndat. Mad ajanouha ghuf dryd fa tet drec vun draen cyga. Fa ycg dryd fa pa napunh uha tyo, dukadran, fedruid ryjehk du ghuf uv dra runnepma drehkc dryd ryja rybbahat rana. [Great sealing sword we offer our lives to seal this evil away. We ask for peace to come to this world after we have departed. Let everyone know that we did this for their sake. We ask that we be reborn one day, together, without having to know of the horrible things that have happened here.]"

A beam of light shot out of sword and right through the gut of enemy. He let out a moan of pain, "I'll be back to take revenge on you two."

As the light disappeared Yuri felt a tremendous amount of pain. She fell to her knees, "E's cunno sus yht tyt, pid ed fyc fundr ed. [I'm sorry mom and dad, but it was worth it]"

Yousuke fell face first into the floor and moved his left hand closer to her, "That it was. We will meet again and I will be waiting for that day."

She couldn't hold herself up any longer and fell forward. Slowly moving her head to look at him, "Me too."

The two clasped hands and both closed their eyes. Her parents came running into the room but it was too late for the prince and princess. They had performed the one thing that both somehow knew that would be the way their lives ended. However thier only wish would be their key to spending another lifetime together.

---------------------------------------------------------- -

Yuri woke up in a cold sweat and looked around to try and figure out where she was. That dream didn't really feel like one. It felt too real to just be some dream. She walked back into the bathroom and changed back into her outfit that she had had on earlier. She took the tiara off, but kept the earrings and necklace on. She then walked over to a dresser, picked up a hair brush, and started to brush her hair.

"Yuri, do you not like the dress?" Yousuke asked walking in.

"It's not that. It's a real nice dress and I love it, but I think that by wearing that dress caused the dream I just had." she turned around and smiled, "I was going to go and see what those silly sailor senshi are doing and that dress would give me away. I could probably get one or two of them alone and I could get rid of them for you."

"Always thinking of such good plans. Just if all of the senshi show up get out of there. You will get to show them up very soon. Just I need to make sure that you stay on my side and not go and join up with them again."

"I would never do that. It's better to fight along side of you than them."

She walked out of the room and into the main part of his apartment. She looked around a little before heading towards the door. She carefully put her shoes on and walked down the stairs. Yuri was very curious to test out her powers on fighting the senshi.

-----------------------------------------------------------< br>

Usagi came home and went straight up to her room. She closed th e door behind herself and set Yuri's bag down in front of the closet. She sat down on her bed and Luna jumped up onto the table.

"Usagi-chan what's wrong?"

"Yuri-chan is almost in the exact same predicament as Ami-chan was. She just awakens as a senshi and now she's fighting on the other side. We don't even know that many things about her and now what are we going to do?"

"There is nothing we can do unless Yuri asks for help."

Usagi looked down very disappointed, but Luna was right.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Yuri decided that she would go after Usagi first since she would be the easiest to break, or she thought. She went to a pay phone and dialed Usagi's cell number. This was going to be a dirty trick but she was determined to show Yousuke her liance.

Usagi picked up her cell, "Hello?"

"Usagi..." Yuri said faking she was out of breath, "...I got away.....from Yousuke. I...need some help...."

"I'll be there as fast as I can. Where are you right now?"

"The pay phone...about four blocks from....your house."

"Just hang in there and I'm leaving right now." she quickly pocketed her cell, "Luna that was Yuri and she said she needed help. I'll try to get her back here."

"Usagi-chan be careful. You do not know if she is still an enemy or not."

"I'll be careful."

Usagi ran out of her house and down to the general area in which Yuri had told she'd be. Yuri had slouched against the glass of the phone booth. She smirked to herself knowing her plan.

When Usagi reached the intersection she looked around quickly and saw someone was in the phone booth. She ran over and opened the door, "Yuri, Yuri are you okay? Yuri?"

Yuri moaned lightly and slowly opened her eyes, "Usagi-chan."

"How did you get away? Come on let me help you up."

Yuri put her left arm around Usagi's neck and slowly stood up with help, "I'm fine. The fighting took a lot out of me."

"We can get you checked out by a doctor to make sure you didn't get hurt too badly."

A small smirk came across her face, "Usagi I'm fine."

"Huh? What did you say? I couldn't hear you."

She took her arm from around Usagi's neck and walked in front of her, "I'm perfectly fine, which is more than I can say for you."

Usagi blinked surprised, "What do you mean?"

"Alecto Dark Power! Make Up!"

Usagi stepped back looking at Alecto, "Yuri think about what you're doing. You don't want to fight me."

Alecto smiled and laughed to herself, "Why wouldn't I want to fight? You won't even henshin to prepare to fight me. It'll be easy to exterminate you since you are all alone."

She raised her arm to the side and the sword appeared in her hand, the same sword she once used to seal the evil away. Usagi reached into pocket for her cell phone and Alecto quickly struck it with the sword.

"Think I would let you use that? Such a stupid move."

A bright yellow attack came from Alecto's left, but she cut the attack in half, "You two are back."

"You didn't change one bit." Uranus said walking towards her.

"You know which side you are supposed to be on." Neptune added.

"None of you even know me." she responded turning a quarter turn to her left, "I'm not from this solar system. I'm from a different one, one none of you have ever been to."

"Alecto I told you to fight only one-on-one."

"Yousuke do not worry. They're push-overs."

"Retreat." he ordered standing right behind her, "You are to take orders."

She quickly turned around to face him, "I do not take orders from you. We are equals in this together."

"You're just someone from the system who was willing to join up with me instead of listening to that senshi. I never thought it would be so easy to make you believe that I still care for you. You're only job is get rid of the senshi and you didn't even follow what I told you."

The color slowly drained from her face, "You used me."

He walked up to her and kissed her, "Of course."

She pulled away from him and went to use the sword against him, but stopped her with his. She pushed all of her weight against the sword.

"I'm more trained in sword arts than you. You're just as weak as you were in the past." he stepped back then pushed all the way forward and knocked her to her feet. He pointed the sword right at her neck, "I never cared for you. You always held me back."

She ripped the necklace from her neck and took the earrings out and threw them at his feet, "I should have listened to her. You don't remember anything."

He moved the sword closer, "Yes I do, but I have a clearer vision on the events from our last day together. I should have left rather than have stayed with you."

Tears started to fall down her cheeks, "You don't....you can't mean this."

"Oh but I do. There's no sense in killing you right here. I want to see you suffer for not following orders."

"Youma....Taisan!"

That knocked Yousuke about twenty feet away. The point of the sword caught Alecto's upper left arm, but she didn't notice it. She sat up and covered her face with her hands.

Yousuke looked over, "E femm lusa pylg vun oui. Oui'na hud cyva yht druca cahcre femm byo vun cdabbehk eh. [I will come back for you. You're not safe and those senshi will pay for stepping in.]"

He disappeared and she continued to cry. Usagi walked over to her friend, "What did he say and what language was that in?"

Yuri dehenshined herself without thinking too much; gathered her thoughts, "It's a special language that was used in our home system. It's only to be used for certain things, but him and I used it for just normal talking when we didn't want anyone else to know what we were saying."

The three of them looked at each other wondering what to do now. They had Yuri back, but for how long and how would Yuri be able to deal with the betrayal of the man she once loved?
