Part 7
The next morning Taiki slept in, catching up on lost hours @-@.
Seiya and Yaten were on the couch, enjoying the morning together before they had to go to a Scout meeting and plan their attack against Relight.

Novia had slowly pulsed with energy since they were up, charging up from the suns rays. Seiya folded her legs underneath herself as she sat on the couch, watching. Yaten joined her, resting her head on her shoulder. Seiya kissed her forehead sweetly.
"You think we can do it?" Seiya asked solemnly, thoughtful.
"If you want it to, it will" she said simply, looking up with lime eyes. Seiya's sapphire eyes sparkled with joy. It was now or never. She took her healers hand in her own and took a deep breath.
"KouKou Bean?" she started.
"Yes Sei-chan?" she asked innocently.

2 hours later the girls had come around to discuss strategy against Relight and the evil they had all agreed to call 'The Controller'. Novia had assumed humanoid form again.
"So all the Outers and Inners excluding Sailor Moon and Mars will distract Relight and the Starlights will attack while Sailor Moon, flanked by Mars will use the crystal?" Haruka confirmed, going over the plan again, which none were too happy with but little better came to mind. Of course Rei had gone nuts when she found out Usagi would be taking quite a risk, she had vocalized her annoyance but Yaten had bitterly reminded the fire priestess that Seiya was in 10 times more danger then the moon princess. The coldness of Yaten's eyes forced Rei to back down feeling embarrassed. The plan heavily relied on hoping the Controller wouldn't guess they would try and mortally wound Relight. While the Scouts attacked and dodged the Starlights would find the right moment to hold Relight in place while Fighter stabbed her father giving Sailor Moon a chance to use some moon healing.

The tension could be cut with a knife and the silence was suffocating. The stress was enough to age them all 20 years. Novia glided over to Seiya and touched her shoulder, whom jerked at being dragged from her thoughts. Novia smiled so much like her father that she smiled back.
"You have great power Twinkle, waiting to be unlocked. Your birthright, you will need it" he said proudly. Agreeing smiles filled the room. Maybe they could do this...

A black cloud loomed over the city of Tokyo, casting the occupants in total darkness. Two cat like red eyes from the cloud looked down and sneered before unleashing a downpour of rain and thunder, sending the people back into their homes. There was plenty of time to kill them later. Deep within the hidden dimensions of the cloud Relight floated aimlessly, concentrating again preventing the Controller from taking over completely. He was losing.
'Give me your power!!!!'
"Never!" he shouted, bursting in a rage that once again prevented total control over him. His body was numb, no feeling came from it as it now belonged to the Controller.
'Then perhaps another demonstration is needed' the Controller chuckled, bringing Relight's body to attention, dimensional wall opened and Relight was once again hovering over Tokyo city. He wanted to scream but no sound came. His arm raised and one finger pointed, Relight uncontrollably fired dozens of small Ki balls, all meeting their targets and taking large chunks of building apart, sending the debris on screaming innocents. He prayed Novia and Twinkle could stop him.

"It's started, lets go" Seiya said, not waiting for a response. After a flashy transformation in the apartment the Scouts raced to the scene of the explosion, the damage was extensive but not as bad as last time and as expected they found Relight in the middle of it all. Sailor Mars took Eternal Sailor Moon to one side until she was needed, not use in making her a target just yet. Fighter had hidden Novia in a sub space pocket for now, in waiting.....

The two red eyes leered on, before swirling, swirling into a creepy tornado that kicked up light debris all around. The tail of the tornado jammed itself into Relight's mouth forcing its way into his body completely before Relight collapsed to his knees, head hung. Fighter felt the need to comfort him...but now was not that time. After just a moment Relight stood back up and looked at the Sailor Scouts, his eyes glowing a hot red. Just like Quaar's had done many years ago. Relight......no, the Controller spoke.
"I'm glad I have the pleasure of destroying every last one of you personally!" he bellowed, snickering slightly. Fighter grit her teeth.
"You bastard! Why have you done this?" she demanded, her anger rising. The Controller laughed louder, pointing directly at the Starlight leader who readied herself for an attack.
"Fool! Relight is the greatest threat to all evil, his removal was imperative for darkness to take over! It took my entire army which took me millions of years to assemble to weaken him for me to take!"
"You coward!!" Fighter screamed, balling her fist in anger.
He simply sneered and pointed a hand to a crumbling building, destroying it in one blast, sending the tons of bricks to the ground. The Scouts had to use all their will power from attacking until Fighter gave the word, though they weren't looking forward to fighting such a powerful enemy. The Controller laughed manically.

"But with his power I shall rule the Universe!!!!! Besides...this is personal between you Sailor Brats and I....You killed my son!" he shouted bitterly, making the ground shake with his prisoners power.
"Who?" Uranus demanded, standing by Fighter, sword once again ready.
"Chaos...he was so young and reckless depending on that blasted Sailor Galaxia!!" he ranted, getting more angry and powerful by the second..Chaos...the one being that caused so much death across the Universe was gone but his father came seeking revenge. The Controller was much more powerful and with the greatest warrior ever in his hands. The Sailor Scouts finally understood what they were up against.
"We...are so dead" Venus muttered.
Fighter had glance down. Contemplating the Controllers words and what they held. Her face then hardened and stared at her possessed Father.
"Controller prepare to die!!!" she screamed and charged, the Scouts closely behind. They closed the distance with the Starlights leading, running to a waiting Controller. Just before they reached him though they jumped into the air and vanished, a trademark stunt. Receiving their signal the Sol Scouts attacked from all sides, never staying in the same place after they called out their attacks, as the plan had said.
"World Shaking!"
"Deep Submerge!"
"Dead Scream!"
"Oak Evolution!"
"Love and Beauty Shock!"

They attacked but like the faceless youma their attacks simply bounced off Relight's body, the Controller not even trying to evade them. He lazily fired a few blasts roughly in the Scouts direction and they had to move to top speed to avoid the lethal beams. They attacked again and again until Saturn stepped up to face the Controller.
"Silence Glaive...Surprise!!" she screamed and hit the ground with her glaive, the Scouts having taken cover before hand. But despite the small hope Saturn could inflict any damage the Controller smiled, red eyes glowing brighter. He raised a hand at the regrouped champion team and powered up a Blue Nova.

Knowing what the little ball was capable enough Saturn erected the Silent Wall but as the Nova flew through the air it punched through the shield and detonated, sending the Sol Scouts flying backwards. For the second night in a row the Scouts had fallen. The Controller walked over slowly, laughing all the way. On the way he looked eyes with Eternal Sailor Moon and sent a stare that seemed to say 'Your next'. That's when Sailor Star Maker and Sailor Star Maker appeared from no where and grabbed both his arms and pulled as hard as they could, it was easy as he was taken by surprise. Fighter appeared in front of him, Novia held tightly in her hands. The look of shock was the moment they were looking for. With a loud battle cry she dived forward, thrusting the sword as hard as she could into her own father's unprotected chest.

But as the sword struck Novia's energy clashed with the Controllers opposing darks energy, fed by Relight causing a brilliant flash back. Sending Fighter screaming away, landing in a heap metres away. Her comrades shouted in despair but the Controller threw them away with a mere shrug. Fighters arms trembled as she pushed herself up, she chocked on some blood before she spat it out onto the ground. She looked up to see that awful evil grin on her fathers face, as the Controller got closer to her.
" I must admit your plan was cleaver, but not even that pitiful blade couldn't stop me now. Still, I think that gives you a slightly less longer painful death then the others"
Fighter growled and moved to strike but found a foot, planted in her face, sending her flat on her back. The small kick made her feel like her face was broken, which it most likely was. She painfully looked up with one good eye to see to her shock Healer sneaking up on the Controller. She must be trying to hold him again for another try. She desperately tried to warn her away but she couldn't form any words from her broken jaw.

Healer pounced, just inches away but a large arm shot out and grabbed her by the throat. She tried to claw the hand away but in vain. The Controller tightened his hold on her neck, causing her to choke out a small cry. The Controller chuckle and looked over at a horrified Fighter, reading her expression like a book.
"You love her don't you? The it will give you great pain when I break her neck with your own father's hand then!" he spat joyfully and squeezed harder, breaking a few cartilage rings in her neck . Fighter ground her teeth and balled her blood soaked hands, her anger rising. She was so tired of all this self-sacrificing crap for the greater good. This time she would be selfish. She wanted the girl, her father and the death of the Controller, the whole ball of wax!!!!

Her energy rose to unheard of areas, her hidden power coming to the surface. It started as a tingle in her stomach but quickly rose to a burning inferno as her own Ki flames burst wide as she screamed her lungs out through her broken jaw. The Scouts had woken up in time to see the light show and the Controller was so stunned he broke a semi conscious Healer to the ground who gasped for air. Fighter rose to her feet and Novia flew into her waiting hand, with her new found power she flew at her target. This time the Controller couldn't stop her and Novia and the sword pierced Relight's chest, a task no being in the entire universe could ever do.

The Controller screamed in sheer agony but Fighter knew her father was screaming as well. With the last of her strength she pulled the sword from his chest and the light form the Quaar crystal shone through the hole.
"Now Sailor Moon!" she screamed and ESM was way ahead of her. She opened her broach and the Silver Imperium Crystal sparkled to life. The silvery rays shone on the Controller, washing his presence away from Relight. The Scouts joined hands around their princess and gave her all the energy they had and she transformed into her princess form. Fighter had fallen to her knees and she crawled to her love and held her and Maker joined them. They watched as the Controller strugled against the bright light, joined by the sheer force of the Quaar Crystal and Relight's unshakeable determination to rid himself of such evil.

Princess Serenity was losing power quickly and it didn't look like the Controller was willing to leave Relight alone. Just as she was about to give in she felt a pair of arms around her waist. She looked behind and sees Sailor Mars smiling back at her and feeding her love to her directly. With this extras boost she fired it at the Controller who screamed an inhuman cry as the red eyes started to fade and a black mist leaked from his mouth. Inside his mind Relight sensed this was the moment. It was now or never. With the large amount of mental energy he was secretly storing he lashed out and pushed his enemy out of his mind and body, the black mist pouring out of his mouth in its tornado form.

The mist rose into the air and blocked the sun. Its two red eyes looked really pissed. Relight, now free from control collapsed to his knees and clutched his chest, his hand red with his own blood. Princess Serenity turned back into ESM and fell back into her lover's arms. The Scouts breathed a sigh of relief but it was short lived as a stricken Fighter went to her father and held him close, not caring if he bled on her. She was happy and sad at the same time, her father was free but he it might have cost him his life.

A sound like thunder nearly deafened them and chills ran down their spines as the Controller roared in anger.
"I WILL HAVE MY REVENGE!!!" he screamed, his power rising to insane levels.
"Not while I live you won't" Relight muttered, straining to stand. Fighter watched on with wide eyes as her father stood tall and proud even after everything that has happened, Novia in his hand where it belonged. Relight stared at his former captor with contempt and growled.
"Prepare to face your destruction!"
