~ Part 8: The Power of Love ~
The ballroom buzzed with the chatter of a sea of people. Gorgeous dresses and suits swayed to the music. Rachel stood at the side of the staircase.
She wore a stunning sleeveless black velvet dress. Diamonds graced her neck and most of her arms were encased in black silk gloves. Her hair was held back in a french twist, pinned with a pearl comb and dripping with freshly picked flowers. She stared into the center of the ballroom as a glistening tear slid down the contours of her cheek.
In the center of shifting bodies stood Mica, wearing a white dress lined at the top with roses. Her hair was held by a string of spiraling pearls. She swayed to the music held safely in Sota's warm embrace.
It could have been me, Rachel thought to herself. It should've been me. Why? I love him but... he looks so happy. To be with her. Why, God? Why couldn't that have been me? Rachel began to sob bitterly as she bit her knuckle and fled the ballroom.
Unknown to the dancing people and Senshi, Yariel stood hidden in a darkened corner of the ballroom. He watched as Rachel fled soundlessly to her quarters. Although he was here to complete a mission, it was one he didn't wish to fulfill.
*Earlier*
"Yariel!"
"Yes, my Queen?" Yariel bowed in front of the shadow of the woman seated on the throne.
"Why haven't the Zodiac Senshi been destroyed? Why were they allowed to come to this time?"
"I am truly sorry, my Queen. I didn't mean for it to happen..."
"And it won't happen again! Do you know why?"
Yariel tried to suppress the dread rising in his throat and shook his head 'no'.
"Because you are going to take care of them yourself. If you fail, they will destroy you. If you fail and manage to get away, I will destroy you. Understood?"
Yariel nodded weakly.
"Good."
*Now*
Yariel took a deep breath and made himself reappear in the middle of the ballroom, floating midair. The people scattered and screamed as he transformed himself into one of the ugly monsters.
Mica and Sota stood in front of him. Mica transformed herself immediately. The other girls, Libra included, rushed to her side.
Yariel didn't wait for everyone to get their bearings before the battle started. He lashed out at Cancer, injuring her and leaving the frightened girl on the floor.
"Leo hell storm BLAZE!"
"Capricorn animal RAGE!"
"Aquarius thunderstorm SHOCK!"
Yariel emerged from the flurry with a few scratches, but nothing permanent. He counterattacked, knocking Virgo over onto her back and aiming to stab her in the heart with one of his spiked claws.
"Libra maelstrom SHOCKWAVE!" It was too late. Yariel was bearing down fast on Virgo, who was screaming in terror.
Then everything happened in slow motion. Libra felt as if she were watching from far away as Sota pushed Virgo out of the way, landing him exactly where she had been. Yariel's claw continued to bear downwards, connecting with Sota's back as he screamed. Or was that Virgo?
Yariel lifted his bloodied claw lifting Sota off the ground then dropping him with a thud. Virgo ran over to Sota with tears clouding her vision.
"So-Sota," she sobbed as she cradled the nearly dead boy.
"Nnn... Mica-chan..." he said weakly. "Gomen nasai, Mica-chan. Ai shiteru..." the last words were barely audible, hardly heard as Virgo began crying hysterically. Sota's body went limp. Libra dropped unbelieving to her knees, staring at the scene before her.
"What you stupid Senshi do for love," Yariel scoffed. "You will pay for your foolish ways!" He posed to strike again at Virgo.
"You..." Virgo's voice was dangerously low. "You did this to him. YOU!" She stood up, her hands clenched into fists and trembling violently. "Virgo meteor STRIKE!"
Massive chunks of rock crashed around Yariel, continuously beating him and severely harming him. Nonetheless he managed to laugh as he returned to his human form. "Very nice, Sailor Virgo," Yariel said. Momentary distraction was an opportunity not missed by Pisces.
"Pisces blizzard FREEZE!" The others took her cue.
"Sagittarius flame ARCHER!"
"Gemini hurricane WHIRLWIND!"
"The girls took turns each dishing out their attacks. Yariel took a severe beating.
"FOOLS!" he roared. "Even if you destroy me, you will still have Queen Ceres to deal with. Incite her rage and I assure you will not survive."
"Antares zodiac APACALYPSE!"
Antares spun in a small circle, scraping the ground with the tip of the scepter, and framing a zodiac chart. Upon completion, the lines turned to light and charged up the scepter into the four charms. Antares brought the staff high over her head as a giant light ball formed at the top and shot into Yariel. He faded into nothingness.
Neo Queen Lady Serenity approached Virgo carefully. "I can only say that he will forever sleep peacefully inside these castle walls until the time comes that Sailor Saturn can reincarnate him." She said gently. Virgo nodded.
Antares later explained the full extent of Sailor Saturn's power to the curious girls.
