Chapter 425
"How are they flying! They can't fly!" Zoisite shouted.
"Probably the same way we can fly! They used the crystals!" Malachite shouted.
"We have to use the rest of the crystals' powers before it's too late!" Nisiran shouted.
They grabbed the ones they had. Light surrounded them. Dark suits of armor formed around them. Metallic wings formed in the air. In their swords dark black blades appeared.
"Now we're ready for them!" Malachite said.
The three whirled.
"Their power levels just shot up!" Sailor Mercury said as the Sailor Scouts all hovered staring at their enemies.
"So..we can still beat them right?" Mars asked.
"We should use the crystals!" Uranus said. "We have to be sure!"
"I don't know.." Sailor Moon said. "We could use up their power, I mean we're not exactly sure how they work."
"We have no choice!" Uranus said. "They're incredibly dangerous!"
The three negaverse warriors flew at them. Barrages shot by them. The scouts glided out of the way.
"All right..all right..let's do this!" Sailor Moon shouted.
"Not in our lifetime!" Zoisite shouted diving towards her.
Sailor Neptune shot upward and launched her attack. Zoisite took it and slammed into her throwing her towards the ground.
"NEPTUNE!" Uranus shouted and dived after her.
"Eternal Moon Power!" Sailor Moon shouted.
The attack shot out in all directions.
The three scattered.
"Now...before we were interrupted," Sailor Moon said. "Here guys.."
She handed them some more crystals.
The scouts eyes narrowed.
Uranus caught Neptune.
"You okay?" Uranus asked.
"Sure.."Neptune said.
"We've still got a war to fight."
"I know.."
"You ready?"
"Are you?"
"Of course," Neptune said.
The two flew upward.
"Uranus! Neptune!" Sailor Moon said and tossed some crystals.
The two caught them.
"This is not going to be fun," Zoisite said staring at the newly invigorated Sailor Scouts.
"We have nothing to lose!" Malachite shouted.
"Yeah, we can do some damage anyway!" Nisiran shouted.
The three shot forward.
"Sailor Moon.." Uranus said. "You should stay out of this battle."
"What?" Sailor Moon asked.
"She's right.." Mars said. "Someone's going to have to fight Ircanite..it's your destiny. We'll protect you."
"But.."
"Don't worry.." Sailor Jupiter said. "We're tough, they don't stand a chance."
"All right.." Sailor Moon said.
"You go check on the city okay?" Sailor Neptune asked.
"Leave them to us," Uranus said.
The scouts whirled and shot out their attacks.
The three enemies fired back.The shots exploded into each other.
"Good luck!" Sailor Moon said. "Call me if you need to!"
"You just find Ircanite!" the scouts shouted.
Sailor Moon nodded and flew towards the planet surface.
"Too bad I can't enjoy this flying," she said.
"Too bad you girls are just learning to fly!" Zoisite said swinging at Jupiter. Jupiter dived back and launched her thunderclap. It fell short.
"You're not going to be able to hit me with those things!" Zoisite shouted.
Mercury flew forward, Ice Water exploded from her hands and knocked Zoisite to the side. The blonde whirled and threw out of her own energy wave. It flew to the side.
"You have to account for the wind Zoisite!" Mercury shouted.
"Yeah!" Jupiter shouted and punched her. Zoisite stepped back and then swung her sword. Jupiter narrowly avoided it.
"I'm not saying this is going to be easy Jupiter," Mercury said.
"Oh it isn't!" Zoisite said and spiraled at them. The two dodged out of the way.
"We're going to have to fight her hand to hand aren't we?" Jupiter asked.
"Essentially. Our normal attacks are just too unpredictable!" Mercury said.
Zoisite flew at them. They flew at her. The three collided and all backed off.
"You girls won't survive!" Zoisite shouted letting energy glow in her hands.
The two glanced at each other and let their own energy flow through them.
"Now it gets serious!" Zoisite shouted and dived at them.
Jupiter and Mercury readied themselves.
"I have yet to repay you for spoiling our plans that night so long ago!" Malachite said swinging a massive violet spike of energy.
Venus dodged out of the way.
Mars slid forward. And swung her foot knocking him aside. Malachite fell and threw the razor. The two girls avoided it.
"I take the time to eliminate wind resistance!" Malachite shouted sending the blast flying upward.
"Venus Crescent Beam Smash!"
The attack flew straight at him.
"Oh..how impressive!" Malachite said and rolled out of the way, another razor flew at them.
"Mars Fire Ignite!"
The razor blew apart.
"You get him Venus, I'll keep us from getting nailed!" Mars shouted.
"Leave it to me!" Venus said.
The two dived towards him.
Malachite grinned and rolled away throwing another razor.
"Mars Fire Ignite!"
The blade blew apart.
"Venus Meteor Shower!"
"Oh..jeez..where did that come from!" Malachite snapped.
The attack flew down from the heavens. Malachite blocked it with an energy shield.
"HAH!" Mars said hitting him with a kick straight to the face.
"Oh..good one.." Malachite snapped and grabbed her leg.
"Venus Crescent Beam Smash!"
The attack raking across Malachite's hand. He shouted.
"I am sick of you doing that!" he shouted.
A wave of energy exploded in the air. The two were thrown back, sliding to a stop several hundred feet away.
"Come and get me!" Malachite shouted letting the energy build inside him.
"Somehow..I think it's better to let him come to us!" Mars said.
"You won't get any argument form me!" Venus said.
The two built up their energy as well.
"I'm defense you're offense," Mars said.
"Still got it," Venus said.
Malachite shot forward.
They did as well.
Malachite's attack flew from his hands.
Venus Launched her attack. Mars hit the energy. It exploded through it knocking her to the ground. Venus's attack hit. Malachite was knocked back. Mars screeched and fell back.
"Mars!" Venus shouted and grabbed her.
"I'm..okay.." Mars said wincing. "You got him good..let's keep it up! Venus!"
"YAH!" Malachite shouted and swiped his sword across Venus' back. She whirled and hit him point blank with a crescent beam shot.
He flew back and winced.
"So you got me..but I can still kill you!" he snapped.
The two girls, wounded as they were turned to face him.
"Funny thing Malachite!" Mars said. "It works both ways."
"So true!" Malachite said. "But I assure you I am in control here!"
He shot another wave.
The scouts fired back. The blast erupted into a shockwave. All three of them were hit and thrown backwards yet again.
"This is some serious power Venus!" Mars said. "As we've been fighting, more and more of it is getting unleashed. The crystals are kicking in."
"What does that mean?" Venus asked.
"That we can do a lot of damage really quickly!" Mars shouted.
"Then let's just be the one's doing the hurting!" Venus said.
"It's not that simple. We hit Malachite full blast we could kill him!"
"Oh..I see...but..what choice to do we have?" Venus asked.
"I know..I know..."
"Come on Girls! I'm waiting!" Malachite shouted flying at them.
The two built themselves up and dodged his attacks letting colored streaks flying behind him.
"Well this is cool! Why can't I enjoy it!" Venus snapped.
"Maybe later!" Mars shouted.
"Running now!" Malachite said. "Well fine..a hunt it will be!" He roared after Venus.
Mars turned.
"Gotta do this right, no room for error," she thought and whirled flying
after the two.
"I am a god!" Nisiran shouted unleashing a dark barrage.
"I doubt it! God's can't bleed!" Uranus shouted leaping at him delivering an energy packed punch. Nisiran flew back and then charged forward hitting Uranus quickly. She flew back.
"Just wait for him to open himself up," Uranus said to Neptune who watched.
"Not likely!" Nisiran shouted and punched back. Uranus dodged it and hit him in the chest. Nisiran swung down on her. The two slid back.
"More pain for you!" Nisiran shouted and attacked. Uranus launched her energy.
It exploded.
Uranus swung into the impact. Nisiran did to. They leapt through it and hit each other.
"So..you're in this for real," Nisiran said.
"I always am!" Uranus said.
"An excellent way to end your career!"
Uranus swung back at him. Their swords met and crackled.
"Enough!" Neptune shouted. She dived forward and knocked Nisiran aside. He whirled.
Neptune hit him with energy. He flew back and then shot back at her. Uranus charged forward hitting him again.
He spun and shot two streaks of energy into the air. The scouts avoided them, but they turned on them.
"POWER!" he shouted.
The two whirled and dived on him. He grinned as the energy streaked after them. Nisiran then swung out more energy. The two dived in and hit him as he grabbed them shocking them. The energy hit. They all were blasted. Nisiran winced...and grinned.
"I can take it...can you?" he asked.
The two girls grimaced in pain, but then they faced him down.
"To the death!" He said raising his sword. Energy shot through it.
Uranus and Neptune shot their attacks. Nisiran knocked them away with his sword.
"It will take more then that!"
"Then let's give him more!" Uranus shouted.
The two sides built up their energy again.
"So they won did they?" Sailor Moon asked.
"Hard to believe isn't it?" Maverick asked.
"Hey, this is the spoils of victory. We all hurt like.." Mike began.
"Mike, this is not the time to be vulgar," Yaten said.
"Guys..you did a good job," Sailor Moon said. "Now I've got to finish him off."
"We have to go," Sailor Earth said.
"Where?" Sailor Moon asked.
"He is heading for the center," Sailor Earth said.
"The power in the center of the Earth" Sailor Pluto said.
"Yes," Sailor Earth said.
"If he gets there first," Sailor Pluto said.
"Let's got then!" Sailor Moon shouted.
The group hurried down the steps.
"Yeah..we'll just lie around here then," Akiro said.
"It shouldn't hurt this much," Steve said.
"Quit whining," Seiya muttered.
"MARS..."
"VENUS....!"
"Try it all you like!" Malachite shouted. "I will not be defeated by such simpleton tactics!"
He shot back at them.
The energies collided, but they didn't wait to watch. Mars and Venus shot forward, energy forming in their hands..Malachite grinned and dived towards them swinging his blade. They dodged under him and turned shooting.
He shot back. The sky exploded.
"The energy is building!" Mars shouted. "We're letting out massive attacks without even a thought!"
"I know!" Venus said.
"FUN ISN'T IT!" Malachite shouted. He dived on them once again his attack connected throwing them back. Pain shot through them. Mars screamed.
"And now we end this charade! You really were never meant to fight me!" Malachite said. "I was always meant to be stronger!"
"Venus...you hurting?"
"Yes...you too.."
"Yeah..but..we gotta do this now...focus on him..."
"Right.." Venus said.
Malachite built his energy.
They did as well.
The scouts stared at their former ally turned enemy. The energy swirled around them. Malachite grinned.
"I am ready to unleash the power!" He shouted. The sky crackled. Energy glowed all around.His eyes reddened, as they narrowed.
"Come on Sailor Scouts..make your final charge!" He shouted.
"Oh we will Malachite!" they shouted.
He built it, and then the wave flew. They dived and punched through it. Malachite's eyes widened. The two girls screamed and connected hitting him point blank. He fell back.
The two girls shouted in pain as it rippled through them.
Malachite floated..unconscious.
"We can still save him," Mars said.
"I...uh.." Venus collapsed. Mars caught her.
"Mercury!"
"Jupiter!"
"Too slow!" Zoisite shouted. "But if that's what you want!"
She whirled. Energy flew from her hands. In all directions. The scouts were hit. She dived towards Mercury.
"Time to meet your maker..again!" she shouted.
Jupiter leapt forward. She slammed into Zoisite. Energy shot through both of them.
"Don't Jupiter!" Mercury said.
"Shut up!" Zoisite said and shot a hand out hitting Mercury with a tremendous blast.
"No you don't!" Jupiter shouted and hit her dead on. Zoisite turned and hit her back. The two screeched. Zoisite fell backwards.
Jupiter winced slightly.
"Not done!" Zoisite shouted.
Jupiter and Mercury fired back hitting her before she could make her attack. She floated.
"Mercury...are you.."
"No.." Mercury said and fell into Jupiter's arms.
"This is it!" Nisiran shouted. Energy blew around him. The skies darkened, lightning crackled. Uranus and Neptune were surrounded with a similar aura.
"This battle will be decided by energy and the will to win!" Nisiran shouted.
"And how can you have it over us!" Neptune shouted. "You don't really want to hurt us!"
"I doubt reasoning with him will work," Uranus said.
"Worth a try!" Neptune shouted.
"I am not going to be held back by that!" Nisiran shouted.
"You can't help it!" Neptune shouted.
"I can!" He shouted.
Their energies flew out. The energies crackled. The sky burst apart. Neptune and Uranus were hit by the shockwave.
Nisiran fell unconscious.
"I knew it," Neptune said and collapsed.
Sailor Moon, Earth, Pluto, Tuxedo Mask, Maverick, and Jasen hurried into the caves. The creatures were all strewn around unconscious.
"Oh no..what did he do.." Sailor Moon said.
"He must have fed on them for energy.." Sailor Pluto said.
"He'll pay for all he's done," Sailor Moon said. "We have to follow him!"
"Be careful Sailor Moon," Tuxedo Mask said.
"The time for being careful is over! Ircanite! It's time to face me!"
"Not now Sailor Moon, I have much more important things to do!" Ircanite laughed from down the tunnel.
"He's getting closer," Sailor Earth said.
"Then come on!" Sailor Moon shouted.
"No..we'll go in first," Sailor Pluto said. "We'll protect you."
"That's right," Sailor Earth said. "You are always the strong one."
"Guys..please..I'll share the danger, but we've got to stop them!" Sailor Moon shouted.
Pluto and Earth leapt into the tunnel. Maverick and Tuxedo Mask followed. Sailor Moon after them.
"It's coming!" Sailor Earth shouted.
"What!" Sailor Moon shouted.
"Protect her!" Sailor Pluto shouted. "We must move forward."
The scouts raced in front of her. Sailor Moon followed not knowing what was happening.
Energy shot down the tunnel.
"No..we have to get away!" Sailor Moon shouted.
"Leave it to us!" Sailor Earth shouted.
She and Pluto shot forward energy flew from their hands. They hit the energy. It impacted, but Ircanite's power hit them anyway. The two were thrown to the ground.
"Pluto! Earth!"
"Keep moving!" Earth said. "He can generate another attack if given time!"
"She's right," Pluto said.
"All right.." Sailor Moon said.
Jasen and Maverick hurried to the front.
"You guys shouldn't," Sailor Moon said. "You're weaker."
"But you'll be stronger for it," Jasen said.
"Yes, sorry.." Maverick said.
"Another one!" Sailor Moon shouted. The energy shot at them.
"We got it!" Jasen shouted racing forward.
"No don't!" Sailor Moon shouted.
Jasen and Maverick met it, their energy exploded into it. They were thrown to the ground. It kept coming. Tuxedo Mask through himself into the attack and was blasted into the tunnel wall.
Sailor Moon stopped.
"Darrien!" she shouted.
"Keep going.." Tuxedo Mask said wincing.
"I'll remember all of this!" Sailor Moon shouted.
"GO!" the three shouted.
Sailor Moon wiped away a tear and hurried forward.
"No more time for games!" Ircanite shouted and hurried downward blasting away a tunnel as he did so. I'm almost there and the most ancient of powers will be mine. Even Eternal Sailor Moon..or whatever she is won't be able to match it!"
He blasted away another at more rock.
Sailor Moon raced after him, adrenaline and the spirit inside her pushed her on.
I won't let you win now...not after all this. My friends are all hurt...the sailor scouts too...and I won't stand for it. Their pain will not be for nothing!
She leapt even greater distances and hurried down the tunnel.
"Ircanite!" She shouted.
Ircanite whirled.
She' s close. But I'm here!
He blasted open the tunnel. A glow immersed him.
"Yes it's here!" he shouted and leapt downward. Sailor Moon hurried right after him.
"It's mine!" Ircanite shouted.
"NO!" Sailor Moon shouted.
"Victory!" Ircanite cried.
Sailor Moon screamed.
Tokyo blew apart. Explosions of energy rippled through it blasting apart the buildings and hitting the many inhabitants.
"Tokyo..it's..." Luna shouted.
"The moon kingdom!" Artemas howled.
Everything was immersed in light. The buildings crumbled. People screamed.
The scouts in the air all whirled in shock as the wave hit them as well.
Then there was silence.
The skies were red, and there was no one for miles who could speak a word. Dark black clouds hovered all around. The city filled with smoke and dust.
Ircanite rose above it all rising hundreds of feet above the ground. He laughed.
"I have won! I've won it all. There's no one left!" He shouted. "This city and it's power is mine!"
He looked around in triumph.
"It's all destroyed..the buildings, the people, the scouts, and all their allies. No more....I have achieved the destiny no one else could achieve. I have invaded this world and taken all that there is from it. There is nothing left that can stop me!"
He laughed again.
"Ircanitttttttte!" came a shout. It fluttered as if carried by the wind, but there was no wind, not the natural kind anyway. Ircanite whirled.
"Who dares speak?" he said. "Who lives?"
He turned scanning the ground, wondering..just who survived.
Then he saw it. Standing there on the roof of a building who's cement structure was all that remained, was a figure.
He starred at it.
"It is not..it can't be..."
Sailor Moon stood staring at him. He uniform was white, and nothing else. It was pure. She looked up at him. Her moon scepter was in her hand.
He gasped.
