Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ The Revolution Prophecy ❯ Usagi's Birthright - Part Three ( Chapter 11 )

Usagi's Birthright - Part Three

 

"Mercury Star Power... Make Up!"

She looked at Neo-Sailor Moon with her mouth having fallen wide open. Neo-Sailor Moon only smiled in return. "Come on, Alyssa. Let's go save our friends."

Alyssa paused. For years, she had known that this day would come, that she would take her mother's place on the council of guardians. She had known that her mother had possessed special abilities.

She didn't know the full extent of those abilities. Nor was she prepared for the rush of power that flowed throughout her body. She could only nod in reply.

Wielding the Spiral Heart Moon Rod, Neo-Sailor Moon jumped back into the fray, ramming the bottom of the staff square into the evil woman's lower back. The woman cried out and crumpled to the floor.

Suddenly free of his adversary's telekinetic hold, Hiro fell to the floor. He landed with a thud, hitting his head against the side of a metallic table. Before he lost consciousness, his vision filled with the sight of his Princess and another Sailor Senshi.

"What the...", he croaked as he passed out.

The evil woman struggled to her feet. She saw Neo-Sailor Mercury and cursed loudly. "Damn you, brats. Revolution warriors or not, you are going to DIE RIGHT HERE!", she screamed. "What do you have to say about that?"

Neo-Sailor Mercury caught the sight of Jamin unconscious against the floor and felt the flames of rage join the power racing throughout her.

"No words, wench...", she said.

She felt the power flowing and concentrating through her hands, and words unbeknownst to her before that moment, she lifted her arms and called out...

"Shining Aqua Illusion!"

... and she let her arms fly forward, sending a seething wave of icy power at the woman. She directed the wave down the woman's body until only her head was not encased in the ice.

"...just punishment!", she finished.

Neo-Sailor Moon smiled as she looked at the woman. "Do you know what I have to say about it?", she said as she twirled the Spiral Heart Moon Rod in her hands. She pointed it at the woman and called out...

"Moon Spiral Heart Attack!"

The woman screamed as the spiraling wave of energy slammed into her, shattering her icy prison and her body along with it. A wave of dark energy burst from her shattered remains, and then there was nothing except for dust.

"Wow...", whispered Neo-Sailor Mercury.

"Finally...", Neo-Sailor Moon said, grim determination etched into her facial features. "Now I have the power to put right what once went wrong."

"So... how do we undo this?", asked Mercury.

Neo-Sailor Moon held up her arms and twirled around once, and like magic, she was covered once again in her cloak. "I usually just think about my normal form coming back, and it happens...", Usagi said simply.

Mercury concentrated and when she opened her eyes, her normal clothing had returned. She smiled. "Wow, that is so neat!", she exclaimed. She turned to Usagi, and continued. "Oh, by the way, Usagi...", she said, running over and throwing her arms around the girl. "It's so great to see you again! We've all been so worried about you."

Usagi hugged Alyssa fiercely. "I missed all of you, too. But it's for the best that I was gone. With Mother and the Sailor Senshi gone, we are the only hope for our people."

Alyssa nodded. "Well, we have time to catch up now.", she said with a smile. She looked over at Hiro and Jamin, who were just starting to slowly regain consciousness. "Poor boys...", she said with a smirk. "All their arguing about who was better suited to be your guardian, and I'm the one who helps save the day while they sleep."

Usagi laughed, but did not miss the warm smile that formed across Alyssa's face when she looked at Jamin. "Come on.", she said as she walked over to Jamin. "I'll carry Jamin and you can grab Hiro."

Alyssa ran over and placed her hand on Usagi's shoulder. "Usa, why don't you let me carry Jamin. After all...", she said, looking away. "... he is kinda heavy. It's the least I can do."

Usagi smirked at her. "Uh huh. Feel free, Alyssa."

Alyssa sighed as she placed her arms around Jamin and helped him to his feet. "Now, I get the chance to protect YOU for a while...", she thought to herself.

Usagi grabbed Hiro and pulled him to his feet. He leaned against her. "I'm so sorry, Usa...", he said, his face turned away. "I couldn't protect you when you needed me."

He pulled himself free of her grasp and stumbled over to his wooden staff, bending over slowly to pick it up. He steadied himself as he glanced over at Jamin being lead around by Alyssa. "I guess things haven't changed between those two.", he mused to himself.

"Come on, everyone.", Usagi said. "Time to go back to the surface."

She stepped onto the tram, with everyone following close behind. Once they were all on, she pulled her Spiral Heart Moon Rod from her subspace pocket and held it out. The Silver Crystal inside flashed brightly, and the lift began to move.

And Usagi and her friends left Mizuno Ami's underwater laboratory.

Night had fallen on the small town that Hiro and Usagi had passed through just the day before. A woman was scurrying through the street with bags of fruit in her hands, her gaze frantic as she tried to make it home without being discovered by a monster.

She had just made it to the door to her house and was fumbling with her keys when a hand latched onto her left wrist with a vicegrip. She screamed in terror and turned around, expecting to see a daemon preparing her for the afterlife. It was only a man, one that she knew from the clinic where she worked. She sighed heavily and whispered, "Thank God, Masao... you scared the life out of me! I thought you were a monster!"

The man she called Masao shoved her back against the door and wrapped his hand around her other wrist. "There are worse things out tonight than just monsters...", he hissed. He leaned over and ran his tongue against her earlobe.

"Masao... wha... LET ME GO!", the woman screamed.

"You've outlived your usefulness, bitch.", he snarled. His form began to change into a humanoid daemon. The monster extended one clawed finger and tore open the front of her shirt, exposing her chest. "Mmmm...", the monster mumbled. "Maybe you human females could be useful after all..."

The woman continued to scream until the daemon backhanded her and placed his palm over her throat. "Do you want to die?", it asked.

The woman shook her head and cried silently. "Good...", it said. "If you shut up, I'll let you live afterward."

The daemon ripped away the rest of her clothing and began running its extremely long tongue up and down her legs. She choked back sobs and closed her eyes, picturing the park she played in as a child, vowing to stay silent until the monster had its fun.

The monster let go of one of her wrists, sliding its hand down her arm and toward her breast. It chucked silently as its hand hovered above the woman's flesh. It lowered its hand and squeezed the flesh when it heard a movement from behind. It turned around with a snarl, and saw nothing.

It was turning back to its victim when someone called out...

"Love-Me Chain!"

The monster yelped in surprise as a chain of hearts wrapped around its neck, jerking its body upwards towards the roof of the building. "ARRRRRHHHHH", it roared.

A female dressed in a strange outfit held the other end of the chain, and wrapped it around a pole, leaving the monster hanging there by its neck.

"Oh... so you won't choke to death?", the female asked. "How about you try this?"

She touched the tip of her left index finger to the monster's forehead and called out...

"Crescent Beam!"

The chain of hearts went slack as the neck it was wrapped around was obliterated, along with the head attached to it. The daemon's body fell to the ground and disappeared in a burst of black energy.

The figure jumped from the roof and knelt by the bruised woman, who was still naked. "I'm sorry...", the figure said simply and without emotion. "At least that beast won't be bothering you any longer."

Falling silent, the figure helped the trembling woman to her feet and into her house. They walked into the woman's bedroom where she grabbed a robe and turned to thank her heroine, but found no one there. She collapsed against her bed, crying uncontrollably.
