OK, I'm rating this PG-13. So, have fun. Rest of stuff @ bottom! The Final Chapter (seriously this time) Sailor Moon stared at Sailor Mars, and vice versa. They did not move, or speak. They only glared at each other, as if trying to win a staring contest. Sailor Moon clenched her fist. She didn't want to kill Sailor Mars. Not now. Not since she had heard the truth. "Sailor Mars, it doesn't have to be this way. We can fight together." "No! You must die!" Sailor Mars unleashed her Celestial Fire Surround. The rings of fire sped toward Sailor Moon, who dodged at the last possible second. Sailor Mars sent out another attack, and this was dodged, mostly. Only the last ring hit Sailor Moon, causing her right leg to get burned. "Sailor Mars, you're one of the good guys! Don't make me do it..." "Shut up and die!" Sailor Mars sent another fiery attack toward Sailor Moon. She dodged it, and sent an attack of her own. "Moon Healing Activation!" The positive energy of the Silver Crystal had no effect on Sailor Mars. Sailor Moon heard the Black Knight's voice. "I told you, one of you will die in this fight. There will be no running. If you run, you will die instantly. Now fight." Sailor Mars charged towards Sailor Moon. A fire sword appeared in her hand, and she threw it ahead of her. It blazed through the air, racing toward Sailor Moon. It seemed to make the air molecules ignite as it sped toward its target. Sailor Moon jumped over the sword, and did a diving kick, hitting Sailor Mars in the head. Sailor Moon landed on her feet, while Sailor Mars landed on her back. Blood was coming out of her forehead. "Sailor Mars, I don't want to do this... Please don't fight me anymore..." Serena's eyes were filled with tears. Sailor Mars jumped to her feet, preparing to attack again. "No Sailor Mars! Don't do it!" Naturally, Sailor Mars did not listen, and proceeded to attack. Sailor Moon dodged, and did the only thing she could do. "Moon Scepter Elimination!" The attack sped toward Sailor Mars, and hit her with such force that it knocked her through the air, and into the temple wall. But Sailor Mars had died before her impact with the wall. Her body fell to the ground, limp, and the dark energy that had possessed her so strongly flew out of her, and vanished. Sailor Moon ran over to her fallen friend. "Sailor Mars... I'm sorry... I didn't want to do it..." Sailor Moon sobbed over her fallen comrade's lifeless body. "Now, Sailor Moon, prepare to die!" The Black Knight appeared as he fell to the ground, landing on his feet. He spun around, making the surroundings change to darkness. The area was completely changed within seconds. It seemed to be a black sphere, with a floating platform in the middle. It was 20 feet long, and 15 feet wide. Spikes grew from the bottom of the sphere. "We will have a battle now, and the victor will be the one who survives. In other words, time to die, Sailor Twit!" The Black Knight charged Sailor Moon, with his sword pointed straight at her. She rolled out of the way, nearly falling off the platform. The Black Knight spun around, and sent a blast of dark energy at her. She rolled back to avoid the blast, which collided with the sphere's inner edge, and disappeared. The sphere shrink a little. "Did I mention that every time the inner edge of the sphere is hit, the sphere will shrink by 2 inches? If it gets hit too often, you will be crushed. And I can escape before it crushes me!" The Black Knight's little speech gave Sailor Moon time to get up. "You will not win. As long as there is still good in this world, evil will never win." "Shut up and fight!" The Black Knight sent an energy blast toward Sailor Moon, who dodged. The blast collided with the wall just before it vanished, and the wall shrunk another two inches. Sailor Moon rushed toward the Black Knight, and did a flying kick. She made impact with him, knocking him back. But she landed on her side, not on her feet. The Black Knight recovered in only a second, and raised his sword. He struck down at Sailor Moon, but she dodged by rolling back toward the center of the platform. The Black Knight was now on the edge of it. "Sailor Moon, you will never win!" "So you just expect me to just give up?" "No, but I do expect you to die!" The Black Knight threw his sword at Sailor Moon. She dodged, but it still scraped her right arm. Blood started coming out of the open wound. "Aww... Poor little Sailor Moon got a cut on her right arm..." The sword circled back around, and headed straight for Sailor Moon's back. She sensed it, and dodged again, but this time her left arm received a cut. The Black Knight caught the sword. "There, now both arms are once again equal, Sailor Moon." { But I am getting tired of her having so much room to dodge my attacks. } The Black Knight plunged the blade of his sword in the platform. "DARK SPHERE PLATFORM SHRINK!" The platform shrunk to 10 feet wide, and 15 feet long. "What the..?" "Now, the stakes have been upped, Sailor Moon. I must say, it will be fun to see your sorry ass go down onto those spikes. { I just want all of this to be over! } The Silver Crystal began to glow. The Black Knight sent a beam of dark energy at Sailor Moon, who jumped over it, and kicked the Black Knight in the head. He recovered quickly, and charged Sailor Moon. He held out his arm, and performed the clothes-line move. Sailor Moon fell on her backside. Her vision was hazy for a few seconds, but then cleared. She got up, and turned around. She saw... Tuxedo Mask? "Oh, Tuxedo Mask... is it you?" "Sailor Moon, why did you let me die? It's all your fault that I am dead!" "No... NO! You can't be my Tuxedo Mask!" "Yes I am, but you let me die, and for that, I can never forgive you." "I'M NOT LISTENING TO YOU!!!" Tuxedo Mask grinned evilly before turning back into his true self, the Black Knight. "You're not so stupid after all." The Black Knight pointed his sword at Sailor Moon, and held the tip of the sword at her throat. "Now, back up, and just fall onto the spikes. I don't want my sword to get all bloody, but if I must, I will slice you open in a heartbeat. Now, kindly let yourself fall, so I can be rid of you once and for all!" Sailor Moon stepped back, and felt herself start to fall from the platform. { It CAN'T END THIS WAY! I JUST WANT IT ALL TO BE OVER WITH!!! } The Silver Crystal began glowing, and as Serena fell to the spikes, the Crystal emitted a brilliant light, and positive energy flew everywhere, bouncing off the inner edges of the sphere. The sphere shrunk so quickly that no one could even blink. The sphere just close at lightning speed, crushing everything inside. Including the Black Knight, and Sailor Moon. The sphere was gone, and the area was returned to normal. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Upon the death of the Black Knight, and of Sailor Moon, everyone forgot about the Sailor Soldiers. To the people of the planet, they never existed. Neither had their human counterparts. There has never been any of the monsters, and no fighting. For the battle between Sailor Moon and the Black Knight had been the final battle between good and evil. That battle had decided the fate of humanity. That day had been the end of it all. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Well, the story is finished! And no more sequels! HAHAHAHA!!! Well, now that that's over with, let the comments, flames, and whatever come. Bring 'em on! cowboys@wwd.net
