Princess Jupiter(aka Sailor Angel) senshi_of_thunder@hotmail.com princess_jupiter14@destined.to www.destined.to/silvermilleniumtour (Will be open soon, so don’t go to it yet) ****************************************************************************** Legal disclaimers! I don not own Sailor Moon. I still own Sailor Lunar though, since I am writing this under my other pen name. Jupiter Knight is copyright Lady Jupiter. Lol....I based this on the episode, “Destiny’s Arrival.” So you will notice a lot of the same stuff. ****************************************************************************** “New Leader in a New Era” Chapter 2, ‘The Predicted Battle’ ****************************************************************************** Silence had filled the Crystal Palace as everyone was asleep. Everyone but Lita. She lay awake on her bed, arms crossed behind her head. Galexia’s threat still echoed in her mind. ‘Come to the Starlight Towers tonight, alone.’ She groaned and rolled over onto her side. She held her locket in her clenched fist. “I have to go, for the sake of the others....but what if I don’t make it?” She closed her eyes. “Why does she want me to come alone?” Lita wondered and sat up. She pulled out her mini computer, a gift from Luna. “Commence Search Backup Program.” A few faint beeps and she had her answer. “No....It-it-it can’t be....pure heart....another Messiah? A powerful crystal....all this doesn’t make sense. Wish Amy was awake..she could decipher all this. Is this why Galexia wants me? Because my pure heart......? Now I have to go.” She got out of bed and stood on the cold marble floor. Grabbing her cloak, she continued out to the hallway. “Lunar Cosmic Power...” She whispered. Soon Sailor Lunar was in the place of Lita. “Commence Night Vision Program.....” Her visor crossed in front of her eyes. Her high heeled boots made a click-click sound as she carefully walked past the other scouts bedrooms. She could hear Serenity’s faint snoring as she passed the royal bedroom. Amy was mumbling something in her sleep about chemical equations. “What are you doing?” Lunar nearly jumped through the roof. “Why are you following me?” She hissed. Jupiter Knight stepped out of the shadows behind her. “I’m your protector, I have to know what you are up to.” “This is strictly none of your business.” Their friendship had started drifting away since Ken had become Jupiter Knight. Lita felt more for him now, but since she didn’t know how to act, she would turn on the mean approach. His gaze softened, “Does this have anything to do with Galexia?” Lunar lowered her eyes to the floor. “Yes..”she replied, her voice barely above a whisper. “I have to fight her. I know what she wants, and I can’t let her get it.” “What is it?” Lunar’s green orbs met his blue ones. “My pure heart...” “What?!” “Shh!!! I don’t what the others to know. She said for me to go alone, and alone I will go.” “Li, you know you can’t take her all by yourself.” “I must. Now I have to go....” She turned around and started walking towards the balcony windows that overlooked the gardens. She gave a look back towards Jupiter Knight, and he saw regret and sadness in her emerald eyes. Lunar jumped swiftly off the balcony, and disappeared into the darkness. “She can’t do this.....” Jupiter Knight whirled around and ran back to the scouts bedrooms.*******“Starlight Towers...dead ahead.....” Lunar carefully opened the door, as if she expected something to jump out at her. She walked blindly through the tower’s main hallway, searching for some sign of Galexia’s presence. “So, the powerful Sailor Lunar decided to show up.” “Galexia...” She growled. Galexia laughed and started to walk up to Lunar. “I suspect you already know why I wanted you to come here.” “Yes...” “Now give it to me, or suffer the consequences.” “Never.” Lunar spat. “You want it? Well you’ll have to fight me for it.” “Very well.” “Lunar Light Staff, appear before me!” She grabbed the staff now hovering above her. “I, Sailor Lunar, assistant of the Time Keeper, Holder of the Lunar Time Crystal, and protector of Queen Serenity, will punish you!” Great, I’m beginning to sound like Sailor Moon, She thought. “Pathetic. Pure Heart, come to me!” She shot a beam at Lunar. “Agghhhhhh!!” Her heart crystal appeared from her chest. Lunar fell to her knees. She looked up, her eyes full of malice. “You won’t get my crystal, I won’t let you!” She got up, grabbed her heart crystal and ran down the hallway to the front door. She kicked it open and puffing, ran out into the darkness. Her eyes were now dull, the light sucked from them. “I won’t let her...I almost lost it against the heart snatchers....I won’t lose it to her....” She collapsed under a tree. “No...she...won’t...win.....” She closed her eyes, still clutching her pure heart. “Pitiful.” Galexia laughed and grabbed the crystal from Lunar. “Moon Starlight Therapy Kiss!” “Arrggg! Who’s there!?” Galexia screamed as the heart crystal was shot out of her hands, and she was blasted back. “I am Sailor Moon! And in the name of the moon, I will punish you!” “Serenity...” Lunar breathed. “Lita!” Jupiter Knight ran over and kneeled next to her. Her held her in his arms. “Don’t let...her..get the...crystal...We need to....find....the second...Messiah,” Lunar gasped. “What? A second Messiah?” “Don’t let...her...win...” “Lita! No don’t leave!” Lunar gave a faint smile, then closed her eyes. With a final breath, she faded away. “NOOO!!!” Sailor Venus had been looking over Jupiter Knight’s shoulders and had screamed when her best friend died. “Guys! Look at her crystal! What’s..it..doing?” Lita’s heart crystal had started glowing. “Could Lita have been right? Is there a second Messiah?” Sailor Moon asked. “Look!” With a flash of light, her heart crystal turned into a heart shaped crystal. Luna gasped. “The Hope Crystal...” “Guys! The Imperium Lunar Crystal!” Lita’s crescent moon shaped Lunar Crystal had detached itself from her locket and was now floating towards the Hope Crystal. “They’re..going..to combine...” Sailor Mercury gasped. As soon as the two crystals touched, a blinding flash was emitted. From the light emerged a star shaped crystal. “MY GOD! THE TIMESTAR CRYSTAL!” Sailor Moon yelled. The other Sailor Scouts looked at her. “My mom told me about it! Only the future Keeper of Time is presented with it.” “The second Messiah.....will probably be revealed now...” Sailor Uranus said. Lita’s heart crystal detached itself from the crystal and went back into her chest.”What...??” Lita’s body rose into the air. The TimeStar Crystal descended into her locket. Everything happened fast. Lita opened her eyes, and if as in a trance, shouted, “Lunar Crisis Power!” “Lita! What are you-oh my god.....” Sailor Neptune yelled. Lita was now in her scout form, bu she looked like Eternal Sailor Moon, Super Sailor Moon, Sailor Saturn and Sailor Pluto all mixed into one. Her cape now had three silver stripes. No longer was there a tiara, but a silver crescent moon in its place. Here skirt had three layers like Eternal Sailor Moon’s, and the colors were white, green, and silver. The thing that connected her skirt to the rest of her fuku was the same, but the crescent moon was now silver. Her boots looked like Eternal Sailor Moon’s and Sailor Saturn’s combined. Her ponytail was held up by a silver star with little silver crescent moons going around it. Her locket was now silver and green, with a silver star on it, and a silver crescent moon dangling from it. She had large ivory wings behind her, and silver and green ribbons trailed down from her skirt. She had no sleeves like Sailor Pluto. Her staff was now like a large key, and at the top perched something that looked like a silver and green Purity Chalice. “Give me that crystal!” Galexia screeched. She jumped at Lita, but was blasted back. Lita took the staff from where it hovered above her, and pointed it at Galexia. “Give it up Galexia.” “Never! I will get that crystal, and destroy you, you brat!” “Then I have no choice.” Her voice had almost a holy sound to it. She raised up her staff, almost like she was reaching for the stars above her. “Starlight....Time......” She closed her eyes just as a beam of light crashed down on her. She gathered it at the tip of her staff, and shot it out. “SEDUCTION!” “Noooo!!! I will return!” Galexia screamed her last words and turned to ashes. Lita gasped and fell to her knees. “I did..it...I actually destroyed...Galexia...” ****************************************************************************** Well, how was it? There is an epilog coming soon, and it will explain everything. Like what Lita turned into, what happens, ya know, the informational stuff (lol..=) You know what's really fuuny?
