[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

*Theme song: Dare, by Stan Bush*





Sailor Angel extended his hand out, and Sailor Hyperion took it. The two groups, Titans and Dark Titans, were now all Titans.

Angel: Welcome to the team, Titans.

Hyperion: Thank you. We all appreciate what you're doing for us.

Moonshine: Well, we hope this alliance isn't short-lived, considering we still have to stop Baal.

Angel: Indeed! TITANS TOGETHER!

And with that, the twelve Titans, Astra, and Tyrael all ran down the tunnel to try and stop Baal.





Meanwhile, Baal finally arrived at the World Stone Chamber.

Baal: My brothers shall not have died in vain.






The group ran up to the end of the tunnel, and gazed out upon the sight before them. They had arrived at the World Stone Chamber, and were now looking at the World Stone itself. The World Stone was colored red, and the chamber was humongous. The Stone itself was larger than Crystal Tower, and meteors and asteroids floated around it like planets to a star. Baal stood on the ground, kneeling down and saying things the Titans could not hear.

Hyperion: It's huge!

Crystal: Thanks for stating the obvious, but what are we going to do now?

Enceladus: We attack! Surely our combined might-

Angel: Will not be enough.

The others stared at Sailor Angel.

Angel: Baal was right, prophecy is what got us all into this mess, and prophecy is what will get us out of it. The prophecy in the Sin War book said we couldn't defeat Baal. I think it's referring to our last battle with Baal, 1,000 years ago. And our most recent battle merely altered his body chemistry to turn him into what he is now. The Sailor Wars book is a little more up to date with prophecies. Moon-face, can you hand me your time staff?

Sailor Moonshine nodded and handed him her time staff. Angel put his portable laptop on top of it, and plugged a small port into it.

Moonshine: If you're trying to open a portal into the void, shouldn't you just be able to push the button you installed on it?

Angel: The button only works if it's at the normal location for the void, which is definitely not here. I have to find the correct frequency... And there!

Angel aimed the staff at a wall in the tunnel, and pressed the red button. Immediately, a portal into the void opened. Angel ran into it and grabbed the third Sailor Wars book and ran back outside. He opened it up to the latest passage.

Angel: "And the Titans of Darkness saw the Light and embraced it. They joined forces with the Titans of Love and Justice, and the full group, joined with the Mage who originally sealed the Destruction, fought bravely to stop the Doomsday. However, the Lord of Chaos was released from Hell, and terror infected the Titans of Darkness and Champions of Justice. The skies rained fire, and the seas became as black. The righteous shall fall before the wicked, and all of creation shall tremble before the burning standants of hell."

A silence grew over the group.

Angel: I have a theory. One of these days, I'm going to start thinking this planet just WANTS to get destroyed!

Tyrael: And it seems a very logical theory considering the history of this planet.

Astra: Reuisu, I should probably tell you now that-

Tethys: Oh, come on!

Everyone turned to Sailor Tethys.

Tethys: I cannot believe you people! I just gave up being evil to this?! How can you people give up just because of a few cryptic words in a book?! We are Titans, Agents of Love and Justice! We need to stop Baal and protect the world we love! What was it you said, Sailor Angel? "Titans Together?"

Angel stood up.

Angel: You're right! We've faced worse before, we're not going to be shaken because of some damn prophecy!

Voice: Agreed!

The full group turned to see who had arrived. And they all smiled as they saw who it was.






Baal: Igtou, yriska dasch ketriyin!

Baal's eyes were closed as he kneeled before the World Stone, speaking words of a forgotten language. The Silver Crystal was glowing even brighter as he spoke them. On the stone itself, it looked like it was starting to crack, but was still holding together. Baal placed the Silver Crystal on top of the World Stone.

Baal: Just one more word, and then it is complete! And so I say-

Electrical bolts came out of nowhere and slammed into Baal. He yelped as the bolts slammed him into the ground, binding him to it. Baal looked up, straining his neck. Before him stood an old man, but it was an old man he knew all too well.

Baal: TAL RASHA!

Tal Rasha: Indeed, Demon!

Baal: HOW?!

The Titans all walked up from behind Tal Rasha, the ancient mage who had sealed Baal originally.

Baal: I see. Well, I'm afraid you're too late, Titans! JIKOU!!!

And with that final word, the Silver Crystal glowed one last time, and then the glow extended out to the World Stone. One singular crack opened and became larger. The Titans gasped as they looked upon it. Baal got out of his bindings quickly.






Neo-Queen Serenity looked out upon Crystal Tokyo. She wanted to cry at the sight before her, but she knew it would do little good to help the situation. She had called out all the Sailors in Crystal Tokyo to try and contain the chaos that was stemming. There was no longer just an eclipse in Crystal Tokyo, it had gotten worse. The people in the city had become panicky, hatred and terror had flooded all their hearts. Things were not being helped by the fireballs coming down from the darkened sky, setting her beautiful city ablaze. Her eyes widened and her pupils dilated as she saw the next thing coming. Blood. Human blood. It was raining down with the fire in the dark sky.

The sky was bleeding.






A form was beginning to walk out of the crack in the World Stone. The group was still gaping at the site before them.

Love: Well, Reuisu, what kind of theory do you have for this?

Sailor Angel gulped at the sight before him.

Angel: Well, the words "Oh" and "Bugger" come to mind.

And suddenly, the being finally came out of the Stone. He was large and small, fat and skinny. He was liquid, solid, and gas at the same time. He had form, yet he was formless. Everyone knew who he was.

Angel: Ladies and Gentlemen, allow me to introduce the Lord of Chaos, Lucifer, Mephistopheles, or Satan. But I think we all know him by his most common name: The Devil.

And with that, everyone's knees weakened, and they all collapsed onto them. The righteous had fallen before the wicked. Satan looked at the Titans briefly, but then looked at Baal.

Baal: Father, it is I, Baal!

Satan's eyes widened.

Baal: They, the Sailor Titans, are the ones who killed Diablo and Mephisto! Now, with the World Stone opened, we can finally destroy everything God has made in his image!

Satan's eyes narrowed. He then spoke, his voice male and female, soft and hard, loud and silent, and everything in between, and everything beyond.

Satan: You are a fool, Baal. You and your brothers were banished from my domain for the very things you are doing here.

Baal gasped.

Baal: But, the prophecy-

Satan: Prophecy is a guess that comes true! When it doesn't, it's a metaphor. Those Titans could put guns to their heads any day, and then the book is just a book. And the prophecy is just a metaphor.

Baal: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

And with that, Baal burst into flames, exploding. He vaporized completely. It didn't take the group much thought to know it had been Satan who had done it. Satan walked back into the World Stone, but he stopped briefly and faced the Titans.

Satan: Do not assume I did this for personal reasons. The war between Heaven and Hell still wages, but there are rules. Until the Rapture of the Church, we cannot and will not openly invade your world. Know one thing, though: We shall meet again, Titans.

And with that, Satan walked back into the World Stone, and Stone sealed up. The group got back up, and Sailor Angel walked over to the Silver Crystal and picked it up. He looked at the others.

Angel: WE WON!
