Jacinth's Story
Disclaimer: The Sailor Moon charaters aren't mine. (If they
where, I'd be rich ^^) But I ned to put this up so that I don't get in
trouble for writting this. (I'm poor, I can't afford to be sued. >.<)
So you're stuck reading this stupid disclaimer when you probly want to
see what happens. (Or you might wanna see Jace banging Alex, but that already
happened in the story... go back to chapter four if you want that.) Naoko
owns the original charaters, Malachite, Zoicite, Beryl, and the rest. (As
if you didn't KNOW that already... Why do they make us write this? It's
all common knowledge... Where's my agent? Maybe he'll know...)Anyway, I
own Jacinth. Alexandrite is owned by this really hot blonde who I'm lucky
enough to have as a fiencee. (She looks like Blacklady /\/\) OK, enough
with the stupid crap and on with the show. **sits back and eats popcorn
till he realizes he's the star** Ahh!!! **runs on stage**
The moon WAS a beautiful place. Until the Dark Kingdom
decided to invade. Now it was in ruins. Small fires burned the plants,
and dead from both sides. The lunans and their friends put up alot more
restince then anyone though. Jacinth was begining to think Alex might have
been right about her bad feeling. It looked like no one was going to win.
He wondered why Beryl didn't seem to care if both sides where anilited.
They where her people dieing. and she didn't seem to care.
Alot of the youmas where cruel and would only deal
mortal wounds and not finish the job. Jacinth felt wrong about killing
them, better a quick death then a slow and painful one he
thought as he went about putting them out of their misery. Hoping that
they would find peace with what ever they worshiped. The one thing bugging
him was why would they send a small group of lessers to attack if they
where having a party? Didn't they know that the Dark Kingdom was going
to attack if they did first?
He thought he saw Alex a few times but figured it
couldn't have been her the hair was to short. He couldn't go find out because
most of the time he was with other youma's or Beryl herself was around
servaying the chaos she had caused with a grin. Disgusting.. Jacinth
thought and turned to find someplace to sit down. While he was sitting
there, a hand grabed his shoulder, he reacted instintively and grabed the
arm and threw the asilent over his shoulder.
"God, Jace! You sneak up behind your fiancee
for a good luck kiss and you get thrown over him..." she grumbled and laughed
when he sputtered about why the hell she was there and what the hell happened
to her. "I wanted to make sure you were going to make it back."
He smiled and helped her
up, giving her a good long kiss, a few Youma saw it and gave questioning
looks, but the rumors about Zoisite and Malachite shut them up and sent
them on ther way. Alex looked back at the battle behind them.
"This looks so vicious,
at least we're winning. But I still get the feeling this is gonna turn
on us." she sighed, staying close to Jacinth.
"Quit with the bad omens,
you're not psychic." he said and kissed her forehead.
"Yeah, but I get feelings...
I knew Demando was a bad egg the second I saw him."
"So what? So did I. And
I first saw him when I was younger." They laughed and smirked, then decided
they'd better get back to fighting before Beryl got suspicious. They said
goodbye and promised to watch each other until the war was over.
Jacinth was going about his grim task of putting
down the near dead when Alex found him again. She screamed out for
him to stop and ran to him.
"Alex? What the hell-- You're
going to get caught!" he snarled, worried for her.
"I don't care, I'm getting
out of here and stopping this!" she told him and gave a quick glance to
make sure the chaos around them didn't hold any ears that would carry her
message to Beryl. "We've got to get to the other Youma, tell them that
we're not going to win. These guys aren't going to give up until we're
dead or they are."
"Then we'll kill them."
"Jace, they'll take most
of us down with them. If we win it will be so costly it won't be worth
it! There won't be a kingdom to run or people for Beryl to rule. Metallia
knows it and now I know it."
"So what do we do? They
won't listen." Jacinth hiked an eyebrow and frowned.
"Yes they will... We'll
make
them listen! Even if I have to resort to Beryl's tricks." Alex said determinedly
and a golden orb of energy gathered in her hands. "We've got to find the
largest group of Youmas, with as few others as possible."
"That'll be a problem, we're
all scattered, and any large group of not fighting warriors will be right
near Beryl."
"Then we'll have to risk
that. I won't watch people die when it's for nothing! Jace, my mother's
out there!"
"Oh, that explains it. So
that kid was telling the truth?"
"Yes," Alex said shortly
and gritted her teeth. "And Malachite is going to hear about it."
Jacinth watched as Alex slipped quickly through
the battlefield, barely noticed, and never recognized, even with him trailing
a few feet behind her. He noted that her face was sternly set with determination
and figured she'd had enough of this and it was stopping now, if she had
a say about it.. He sensed at least one pair of eyes was keeping watch
on her, and some part of him knew who's they where. They were male. Once
he saw the Akayashi nearby, he realized who it probably was. Damn him,
he wasn't going to stop them, or get her, Jacinth hoped he wouldn't even
try. Alex froze for a second and and he wondered what she was thinking.
Then she sighed and whispered something and moved on. He figured the same
thing that told her that the war was going to be a total loss told her
that her efforts might be as well, but knew she had to risk it. She didn't
tell Jacinth that her plan wasn't to get to the warriors, but to Beryl
herself... and Beryl listened to no one but Metallia.
They finally reached where Beryl and the few bands
of warriors that hadn't even started fighting were. Alex took a deep breath
and a step forward, meeting with a spear near her throat.
"Where are you going?" a nameless youma demanded
and forced her a step back.
Alex glared the youma right in the eye. "I want
to see Beryl. Now." her eyes flashed as she said the last word and the
youma dropped his spear and backed off so fast Alex could have sworn someone
had given him a hotfoot. She smirked and moved on through the band, telling
Jacinth to stay there. He protested, as she knew he would. "I don't need
you to help me with this part, I need you to watch my back." she told him
simply and turned away, heading right for Beryl. He called out to her,
but she ignored him. Damn it.. he thought. What's she up to..
but all he could do was watch.
Alex came up behind Beryl, about two yards away,
and froze. Jacinth could feel Metallia's power and knew it was stronger
there, as if it was coming from the witch. It frightened him and
knew it would Alex, but for some reason she became even more determined
at feeling the foreign power he smiled and knew that the power would try
to get to her. It failed miserably, she didn't even listen to a single
word it said and just like she didn't listen to him moments before.. Alex
drew in a breath and lifted her chin to an almost arrogant level.
"Beryl!" she said it sharply and loudly, carrying
over the sound of battle.
The red-haired woman turned slowly and narrowed
her eyes. Alex knew that she'd been recognized, but she didn't care, it
brought up a curiousity about why, but she didn't ask.
"You. Why are you here, I told your father to be
rid of you!"
"And four years ago you told your servants to take
me with him! Make up your mind, witch! Do you want me or not?"
"Why would I want such an impudent little brat who
refuses to show respect?"
"Give me a reason to respect you and I will. Start
by calling off your war!"
"Never. Either go back or fight, but I warn you,
if you go against me, you will die."
"I've heard that before, and it doesn't scare me.
I'll die for this if I have to, but I won't watch more people die. Not
when it's for nothing! Don't you see? They're not giving up! They have
nothing left but their people and even that's fading to nothing, but they
don't give up!" Alex yelled, even though she didn't have to, "I won't sit
here and see people die for nothing, Beryl! Call this off before I do!"
"And how do you intend to do that, you have no power
until I die."
Alex crossed her arms and frowned, "Then I'll kill
you." every youma withing earshot stood and pointed their weapons at her
and Jacinth frowned. Alex closed her eyes and released the tension she'd
built up for weeks, all the anger and fear and everything else. Every emotion
she'd been forbidden to show in the dark halls came out in one blast that
flattened them down to their knees or backs. Some of them stayed there,
stunned to the point of paralyzation. The others scrambled back. "I've
got more for you, Beryl. Dare to try me?"
"You think your flimsy strike would be enough to
take me down? To destroy Metallia as well?" Beryl laughed, it chilled Jacinth
to the bone, but the Alex stood taller than ever. "You have a lot to learn,
and you won't live long enough to learn it if you don't go back now."
"No Beryl, you go back. Go back to your cold
throne and your dark goddess, but I'm leaving, I'm not going to follow
a bitch who doesn't care about her subjects. And I'm not letting this war
go on. I'll take the few people who aren't so afraid of you or brainwashed
by that evil force to see the truth, and I'll lend my power to the Moon
Queen. If I die here, I'll die battling evil, instead of serving it!" Alex
said feircely and turned her back on the woman, sensing her growing anger
and impatience.
Jacinth knew that she'd made a fatal mistake, and
turning away made it twice as fatal. Now she wouldn't see the blast coming,
she wouldn't even feel it because as she started in the direction of where
she'd seen the high princess hiding. Jacinth cried out her name and
Alex turned towards it in time to be knocked to the ground and nearly knocked
out. His body felt painfully numb from shock and truma.He felt Alex moving
below him and roing something then she gasped and tried to move.
"Jace! God, please don't be you!" he heard her cry
out. His tried to shift weight move a bit and groaned. It was weak. She
sobbed and tears fell from her eyes. The pain was either getting worse
or fading now, he couldn't tell anymore. It seemed like both. It hurt,
but he couldn't feel anything... like he was floating and tring to stay
conscious... to stay... alive? God no, he couldn't be dying... he had to
live, to be with Alex and to help her save the people that were going to
die soon themselves. He had to move, he had to speak. But nothing worked
anymore, he had no voice, his mental voice spoke, and he sensed the battle
aroudn them, but he could not see it. All the things around them were dark,
nothing had a form...
A sometime later, he heard a scream and his mind's
eye showed a girl that felt sorrow and shock and a broken heart all in
one strike of an instant. He tried to follow the girl's thoughts, to see
why she was so upset, but the girl's mind shut off, like his own had almost
immediately afterwards. He had the instictive feeling that the whole thing
was Beryl again. Beryl's fault and Beryl's actions. A moment or two later,
his floating mind felt odd and saw a silver light and dancing rainbow visions.
He felt a force wrap around him and his body, rejoining them painfully,
but it felt good too, he could feel again. But he slept and he was apart
from Alex, possibly forever. He didn't know where or if he'd wake up again,
and hoped it was with Alex. But some how knew, it wouldn't be. Fate was
never that kind.
That's it. What are you waiting for? Go home, it's done. What a tragic
ending.. **sniff sniff** Will they ever be together again? Wouldn't YOU
like to know. Alex is working on the sequel to her part, and if anyone
wants, I might work on my version. Only if you want though. Email princejacinth@hotmail.com
