Chapter 7 |
~* The Plot Thickens *~ |
When both teams approached the bridge, the alien was waiting for them. "Welcome," he said, while he began to float a few feet above the floor. A circle of light incompassed the group, and they were sucked into the ground. Sailor Moon screamed loudly, while gaping at the blackness around them. Sailor Galaxy held onto her young niece, who had calmed down since they had been summoned. The blackness shifted and revealed a huge underground lake, and in the very middle, stood a tall proud palace. They were zapped there in a second, and faced a gigantic throne. Beatrix sat calmly and confidently on it. Princess Reini stood in an energy cage, her red eyes wide as the sailors descended upon them. Gabriella was the first to speak. "Let Reini go, and we will give you Dora." Beatrix smiled. "Ah, sister, sister, you really are a fool. Did you think I was really going to give you Reini? Besides, I am sure Desri doesn't want to go with you." Sailor Galaxy and the others watched as Princess Reini melted and grew, into a redish catlike creature. "A shifter," Galaxy said, bemused. The shifter chackled, her teeth bared. Beatrix smiled,"Although I enjoyed our little family reunion, sadly it must end. Kill them," she ordered. Dora tugged free of Galaxy's grasp, as shifters appeared from statues and walls all over the room. The sailors faced about two dozen shifters. Sailor Moon, and Galaxy giggled. Beatrix's calm demeanor vanished and was replaced by a furious scowl. She rose from her seat and demanded, "What is so funny?" "The fact that we expected something like this," Galaxy replied. "Nova Burst!" The room throbbed with energy, that exploded in ripples, knocking the shifters, Dora and Beatrix backwards. A furious battle insued, with niether side winning. The shifters morphed again and again, while the sailors were slowly tiring, and being battered. Slowly, Galaxy was making it to Beatrix's throne. At the foot of the throne, she screamed at Beatrix, "You must stop this. They have nothing to do with us. This is about family, it was always about family." Beatrix gazed at the huge room. Sailor Scouts and the Silvers were fighting with everything they had. Sailor Moon was attacked from behind, and clawed, until Silver Uranus threw the shifter off of her. Moon fell to her knees, as did Sailor Mercury and Silver Jupiter, but they all got up slowly, to fight. Many of their suits were torn and bloody, but they continued to fight. Beatrix's eyes glazed, and Galaxy saw that young child she knew. "Don't you remember when we were kids? I always tried to be your sister, but you never let me. You thought no one loved you, but I did. I do. I don't care about what you have done. You are my sister. I love you, and I forgive you, but please, stop this. There has been enough death.Our mother would want to to be at peace. She loved you, she just didn't know how to tell you." Beatrix's eyes filled with tears, and spilled over. "No...it's their fault. They introduced mother to my father...then your father. They helped mom through your birth, and you would have died if it weren't for them. She hated me...I am his daughter...he was a bad man." Memories flashed through the older woman's head, of a man who was evil in her eyes. He treated her mother badly. She couldn't see his face, but he was evil. Beatrix's eyes widened. No, her mind screamed, my mother was right. I have become my father. "No," Beatrix screamed, and the walls trembled. The shifters and scouts froze. "Stop," Beatrix cried, her voice trembling, her eyes streaming with tears. "Let them go. Leave me." She turned to her daughter Dora. Her eyes softened. "My precious child. I have turned you into a monster...forgive me!" Dora's eyes moistened. "I forgive you mama...I love you." Beatrix sobbed even more. She quieted, and turned to Galaxy. "Gabriella, take Dora. Don't let her become me. This ends now." She used her powers to gently push her daughter and sister away. "Now go," she screamed. The doors opened, and the sailors and silvers ran out. The ground began to shake violently, as Sailor Galaxy and Dora fled the palace. Slowly the place began to rise, until it was on the streets of Tokyo. The walls and towers began to cave in. "No," Galaxy yelled. "She is going to kill herself." The sailors and silvers watched as Sailor Galaxy ran into the crumbling palace. They tried to follow, even Dora, but Silver Saturn yelled for them to stop. They turned to the young girl, in silent questioning and confusion. "She must do this on her own. Only love can set them free now," Silver Saturn told them in her solemn voice. The group turned back to the structure and waited in silent worry. |
