Brown (tory_brown@yahoo.com) ::A r c F o u r:: Reveal Thy Self Utopia Moshi sighed, Minako was talking her ear off about school, volleyball practice, and other things that was going on in the senshi's lives. Moshi was enjoying Minako's company, Minako was one of the few that visited her daily. She even managed to bring Moshi's homework when Makoto wasn't able to. "Minako-chan, I'm glad you're here with me," Moshi said, pulling the hospital quilt closer to her body. Minako smiled. "What are friends for ne?" For once, she managed not to kill anyone by taking care of them. "I have to tell you something," Moshi stated, pulling her arms from under the quilt. She pulled the sleeves back, revealing two silver bracelets that gleamed with a light of their own. Minako's blue eyes grew wide. They looked similar to the bracelets Usagi told her about. "NAN DES KA!" she screamed, jumping to her feet. "Sssh!" Moshi chided. "I thought about this carefully and you were the first I wanted to tell." "Me, why? "I remember you telling me about your days as Sailor V. I know you've destroyed youmas alone." The pale blond eyebrows twitched. "What are you saying?" She didn't like the seriousness that radiated from the dark violet eyes. "I know this has something to do with Nova," Moshi started, absently scratching one wrist. "you know it's not going to be pretty. I want you to destroy me, should anything happen." "Mo-chan," Minako whispered, her pale blue eyes filling with tears. "I can't do that, you're one of my closest friends!" "That's why you HAVE to do it!" Moshi growled, balling one hand into a fist and slamming it against her quilt covered thigh. "I would prefer it was you, you'd be able to get the job done!" Minako held her head down. "I can't promise you anything." "At least promise me this, don't tell anyone about the bracelets, that is until I can figure something out myself," Moshi said, her eyes flashing. A small knock at the door gathered their attention, cutting off any further aspects of the conversation. When she looked up the door was opening and a nurse walked in. "Chiba-san, your onii-san is here to see you." Moshi hid her wrists under the quilt. "Fine, let him in." She glanced at Minako, who still had her face down. Her round shoulders were drooping, the expression on her face could only be categorized as disbelief. The nurse vanished and Mamoru's face replaced hers. "Ohaiyo, Midget. Genki des ka? Ohaiyo, Minako!" "Genki, Ru-chan," Moshi said, noting the pain filled expression on her brother's face. "Ohaiyo, Mamoru-san," Minako replied quietly, her small hands knitting in her lap. "How is minna doing?" Moshi asked Mamoru. "They're out in the hallway, I came to see if you were up to us visiting." "Oh, let them in!" she replied. She threw Minako a glance to remind her about their agreement. He went back out into the hallway and reappeared with the senshi behind him. Even the Outers were there as well. Moshi was shocked to see that even Setsuna was here as well. "Minna!" Moshi cried out, happy to see her friends again. "Mo-chan!" Hoshi exclaimed, rushing to the side of the bed. He bent over and kissed her quickly, fighting the blush that was forming on his face. Moshi carefully sat up, making sure to cover her wrists with the sleeves of her pajama top. Luckily the sleeves were long enough to cover, just as long as she didn't move her arms about. "Genki des ka?" Setsuna asked, her reddish eyes narrowed as she looked at Moshi. Something wasn't right, she couldn't put her finger on it. Moshi looked like she was desperately trying to hide something. Minako's body language clearly described something that transcribed between the pair. "Genki, Setsuna-san!" she replied, plastering a smile on her face. Setsuna placed her hand in her chin. "Hmm, I believe that is good," she continued, staring at the girl. Haruka's ears perked up at the sound Setsuna was making. "Setsuna? Daijoubu?" She said it low enough that only her, Michiru and Setsuna could hear. "Something is wrong.." Setsuna trailed off, her gaze growing harder. The lines of her body stiffened, as if she expected a sudden attack at any second. Michiru pushed her hair away from her cheek. "I don't see anything wrong." She wondered why Setsuna was tensing so quickly, the muscles in her cheeks strained. Setsuna sighed, she would have to wait until she found out what it was. There was no sense in causing Haruka or Michiru to panic. "Daijoubu. I think I'm just a bit jumpy. Things have been quiet lately." Haruka raised one blond eyebrow. She wasn't so sure, you couldn't tell the way things would go with Setsuna. If it was something bad, they would find out later. "I understand," she responded. Michiru gave her a similar look of disbelief. * * * * "...and get a lot of rest!" Usagi ordered, shaking her finger like someone's mother. "OK, OK, Usagi-chan!" Moshi said, Usagi acted as if she was her mother all the way from the hospital. It felt nice to have people fussing over her. It almost made her feel, wanted. Even Ami scolded her. "Promise me if you feel any different, you'll call your doctor!" The best came from Makoto. "I swear, you scare me like that again and I'll break both your legs!" Once everyone was gone and things quieted down. Mamoru took her to her bedroom and made sure she was comfortable. It took Mamoru a few more minutes to convince Hoshi that she would be OK, he had to nearly shove him out the door. "You go get some rest yourself, Hoshi-kun," Mamoru ordered, he felt that he sounded like Usagi. Hoshi grinned, his green eyes glittering. "I will Mamoru-kun, I'll just call a lot!" He ducked a playful swat from Mamoru as he ran out the door. Mamoru sighed, it was nice seeing Hoshi happy again. He was worried that Hoshi had became depressed again, like that time when Moshi 'died'. Somehow Moshi and Hoshi were exactly like him and Usako. They couldn't bear to be apart for long and loved one another deeply. "RU-CHAN!!!!!!!" Moshi's voice reached him from her room. It sounded full of fear. His paralysis broke as he rushed to her. "Midget?!" he asked, storming into the room. Moshi was standing in her bed with her wrists sticking out. The silver bracers that encircled each one blazed brightly. "What the hell?!" he cursed as he raced over. When he grabbed her wrists, a jolt of heat caused him to drop them. "Make it stop, make it stop!!!" she yelled, falling to her knees. The bracers glowed brighter. The light grew and enveloped Moshi, leaving her dressed in the armored fuku of Sailor Utopia. She stood up and stepped down, her eyes eerily glowing a vibrant purple. Her ponytail bristled in some unseen wind. "Midget.." he trailed off, unsure as to what was causing this. She grinned at him and walked out the room, leaving through the front door. He blinked, she couldn't transform to the knight yet, could she? If she could, why was she doing it now!? * * * * "NANI!?" Usagi screamed as Moshi kicked her way into Rei's room. Her dark purple cape swirled about her body as she walked in. "Uso.." Ami muttered as she backed away, falling against Makoto. "It's not her!" Luna yelled, ducking away. Artemis stared closer at the senshi who was going berserk. Something wasn't right, it was Moshi but then again it wasn't. "Her bracers, they're silver not gold!" he called out, dashing past Moshi's legs. Rei stood up, wielding an ofuda. "Akuryou Taisan!" She heaved the ofuda at Moshi with all her strength. Moshi ducked and chuckled. "You missed, Rei-chan." She nearly spitted Rei's name as she walked forward. Rei threw two more ofuda's, creating a triangle around Moshi. "Gotcha!" "Damn you!" she cursed, struggling against the force field created by Rei's ofudas. "Now that she's somewhat under control. May I ask, what the hell is going on?!" Makoto yelled. "It's Nova. It has to be," Luna stated, her tail twitching with each word. Artemis nodded. "It's the bracers that's controlling her. I don't know if she's possessed or being controlled." Moshi looked up, her eyes flashing. "Which do you think it is Neko-chan?" Each word was filled with acid, it clearly wasn't Moshi. The metal of her armor was acting as a semi-conductor of the force field that was holding her in place. Slowly she fell to her knees, drawing herself into a tight ball. "Minako....do..it.." she croaked, her voice straining tightly. "Kami-sama, IIE!" Minako cried, getting everyone's attention. "Dammit, do it!" Moshi yelled, the armor crackled making her scream louder. "Onegai, Minako-chan! AHHHH!!!!" "If that's what you wish. Venus Crystal Power, Make up!!!" SuperSailor Venus stood straight, her long golden bows brushing the back of her legs. She looked like a golden goddess, long hair and all. She slowly stepped forward, her aura crackling with power. Usagi's eyes grew large, Minako was going to destroy her. "Minako, IIE!!!!" she screamed, scrambling to get to Venus. "Usagi-chan, it's for the best! Venus!" She threw her hand to the side, the symbol of her planet was in her palm becoming surrounded with energy. "I can't do it!" The energy vanished as she fell to her knees sobbing. Moshi started sobbing. "Minako-chan.." "Again, what the hell is going on!?" Makoto growled, grabbing Venus by her elbow and spinning her to face her. "You were going to destroy her?!" "Nova...is...trying to posses me," Moshi gritted out, clutching her sides as the force of the ofudas held strong. "She wants my power..." Mamoru stormed into the room. "Usako! It's Midg-- What's this!?" he asked confused, seeing Venus sobbing and Moshi curled up into a ball. "She's possessed by Nova. That's those bracers on her wrists." Venus continued to retell the tale that Moshi told her in the hospital. "I don't believe this!" Mamoru roared. * * * * Setsuna's eyebrow twitched. Something was seriously wrong and she bet it had to do with Moshi. Harkua caught notice of the twitching. "Something's wrong?" Setsuna nodded, her dark green hair shifting slightly. "Mo-chan.." Haruka sighed. "I thought so." She looked at Haruka surprised. "You knew something was up?" "Yeah, I think I've been hanging around you too much lately." Haruka grinned. "Well, let's get going then," Michiru stated, she grabbed Hotaru's hand. * * * * "I can't hold her back any longer!" Moshi yelled. Her fuku flashed for a second, suddenly becoming silver. Usagi reared back in shock, it was an exact duplicate of the golden fuku that Galaxia wore. Her head dipped low, hiding her face. When she looked back up, the dark eyes of Nova shone through. "Sailor Senshi, you thought you could prevent this from happening?" Moshi said, eerily sounding like Nova. "I applaud Moshi on her cleverness, trying to get one of her own to dispose of her before the change was complete. Luckily, Ms. Venus was too much of wimp to finish the job. If I was Moshi, I would have picked Mars." A cruel grin twisted Moshi's face. "There's a difference between being a wimp and caring for someone!" Makoto spat out, her large hands balling into two tight fists. For a quick second the sign of Jupiter flickered on her forehead. "Whatever." She shrugged apathetically. "I would like to stay and have a chat session with the girls, but I have chaos to create," she cackled. "Novatic Force!" she yelled, combining her power with Moshi's attack, Life Force. The ofuda shield crackled and split, sending showers of energy through the room. When the senshi opened their eyes, Moshi, actually Nova, was gone. "Shimatta," Makoto cursed. Mamoru glanced sadly at the wand that Moshi gave him when she went to the hospital. The infinity sign hovered silently over the stick, as if waiting. * * * * "You'll never get my power, bitch," Moshi cursed at Nova mentally, she hated the feeling that her body was moving without her controlling it. "Curse at me all you like, you know this is the end," Nova responded like a mother scolding her small child. "I will defeat you. If I don't definitely EternalSailor Moon will!" Moshi said, belief in her friend radiating throughout her body. "Whatever," Nova snorted. "For now, you need to take a nap." Moshi felt herself starting to float inside a dark void. She remembered the place that was her mind. In that small space, Moshi pulled herself together and wept. * * * * "Whatever happens," SuperSailor Pluto started, "we must protect Saturn at all costs, even if it costs us our lives." Uranus ran beside the senshi of time. "You mean, Saturn is a target as well?" She gave a glance at the smaller senshi, who was quietly keeping up with the group at their fast paced run. Pluto nodded, her dark green hair streaking behind her. "She is a target, this I feel." * * * * "Where is she?" Tuxedo Kamen asked Mercury, who was trying to track her on her computer. "This way!" Mercury yelled, snapping the case shut and taking off at a dead run. The senshi ran in silence as the approached the area that Moshi was at. The first to spot her was Mars. "There!" Moshi seemed to have gone totally insane. Her eyes showed no remorse for the damage she was causing. People were scattering and yelling at the top of their lungs. Many were dodging the tables she was overturning with little effort. They noticed that the silver bracers on her wrists were glowing brighter than ever. "Tuxedo Kamen-sama!" EternalSailor Moon called, rushing to his side. "What's happening with her?" "I don't know," he responded, adjusting his mask. Moshi looked up and spotted her target. "Hey Moon brat!" she yelled, stalking closer. "I'll rip those wings off and shove them up your ass!" She made a wild lunge for the shocked senshi. Tuxedo Kamen jumped in front of her, taking the hit. He rolled away from her heavy mass, slowly coming close to the edge of the cliff. Quickly he snapped back, rolling forward away from the cliff's edge. "Mamo-chan!" Moon cried out, struggling against Jupiter's grip. "Daijoubu!" he called out, placing his top hat back on his head. "Yurusenai!" Uranus called out, causing Moshi to pause in middle of flipping another table. "Nanda?!" Moshi said, dropping the table from her steel grip. The silver of her fuku, or Nova's fuku for that matter, glittered in the sunlight as she took a step forward. "Whenever there is trouble, I come to clean the mess. Invented by a new age, I am the magnificent SupaSeera Ooranusu!" Uranus declared, wielding the Space sword. "Bringing relief to the people, I am the senshi of embrace. Invented by a new age, I am the elegant SupaSeera Nepuchuun!" Neptune stated, holding her Deep Aqua mirror in her left hand. "Preserving peace and tranquillity for all time, I am the stupendous SupaSeera Puruto!" Pluto stood tall, brandishing her Garnet orb decorated staff. Quietly, without introduction, Saturn took her place next to Pluto and Neptune. Moshi's purple eyes glowed when she spotted the quiet Saturn. "Ah, I see Saturn is with you." She walked forward and held one hand out. "Hotaru-chan, come to me..." The glaive, held tall in Saturn's hand, dipped momentarily before righting itself. "Mo-san," Saturn whispered, taking one step forward before being held back by Pluto and Uranus' strong grips. "I know what you're trying to do," Pluto said calmly. Moshi blinked, placing an innocent expression on her face. "Well do you?" She narrowed her eyes into violet slits, glaring directly into the stern reddish gaze of Pluto. "Wouldn't it be wise to do the same yourself?" she said almost sweetly. Pluto could feel the almost hypnotic suggestion that Moshi was weaving. She felt her hand drop from Saturn's shoulder, allowing the small girl to walk forward. "That's right Hotaru-chan, come to Moshi," she cackled. Saturn blindly stepped forward, clasping Moshi's hand. She spotted Jupiter slowly stalking closer out the side of her eyes. "It'll be smart to stop right there Mako-chan," she said bitterly, revealing the small silver dagger she had pointed at Saturn's throat. "Unless you want Hotaru-chan to die." Jupiter's hands went into two fists. "You monster!" "Flattery will get you no where!" Moshi yelled, sending a wave of silver energy towards the inner senshi and Tuxedo Kamen. Kamen jumped in front of the blast, protecting EternalSailor Moon. He screamed as he felt one of his ribs starting to crack under the pressure. In a flash, the silver bracers switched from Moshi's wrists to Saturn's wrists. The sound of her brother screaming snapped her from the comatose state. "RU-CHAN!" she yelled, starting off towards the fallen group. She looked back, noticing the grip Saturn had on her wrist. "Let me go!" Moshi yelled, jerking away as hard as she could. "Don't think I'll let you go that easy," Saturn said, now under the control of Nova. Her fuku was replaced with the silver metallic fuku of Nova while Moshi's fuku turned back to her pajamas. "Saturn!" Pluto cried, drawing Saturn's attention long enough to allow Moshi to pull away. "Moshi! Henshin-yo!" Neptune cried. "Earth Infinite Power, Make up!" Nothing happened. She suddenly remembered that she gave Mamoru her wand to hold because of what was happening. "Kuso!" she cursed. "What's this? Can't henshin?!" Saturn asked chuckling. She pointed the glaive towards Moshi and released a silver blast much similar to the one she pointed at Moon-tachi. Moshi covered her face with her arms as she flew backwards, landing near Tuxedo Kamen. "Ru-chan," she whispered weakly. A low groan was the only response. His head lolled about as he tried to rouse himself to consciousness. "Mi--dget?" he asked, trying to focus on the source of the voice. "Hai, do you still have my wand?" she asked, slowly moving towards his limp figure. "I do, why did you give it to me?" Close enough to touch him, she reached out and grabbed his hand. She scooted into a sitting position, pulling him into her arms. "You'll see onii-san," she whispered into his ear. Saturn turned towards the pair and slowly walked forward. She gripped the Silence Glaive and held it out in front of her. "My, don't the kyoudai look kawaii, all cuddled up. Little imouto trying to protect her ani!" she chuckled, stopping so she would be able to keep and eye on both the inner senshi and outer senshi at the same time. "Hai, I know you want my power Nova," Moshi said, her voice trembling as she clutched Tuxedo Kamen closer to her body. "I can't fight you, I...I give in." "NANI!" Mars screamed. "You coward!" Venus grabbed Mars by her waist to keep her from charging at Moshi in total anger. "Onegai, Rei-chan, don't hate me.." she sniffed, bowing her head until it rested on his shoulder. Tuxedo Kamen thought she was actually giving up until he heard her whisper into his ear, "Take my wand out as if you're going to give it to Nova.." Slowly he reached into his pocket and pulled the infinite wand out, the golden insignia appearing and hovered over the stick. "Here is my wand, with it comes my power. The words you need to say are, EARTH INFINITE POWER...MAKE UP!!!" Moshi cried at the top of her lungs. A bright purple light enveloped them both. Tuxedo Kamen gasped as he felt the power burning through him. The symbol, his symbol, appeared on his forehead glowing brightly. The light vanished, leaving Tuxedo Kamen dressed in a dark purple and gold tuxedo. On his forehead the circle with the cross was burning brightly. Moshi fell back, tired from giving away her power. "Here's the real Sailor Earth." Her eyes closed, shutting out the light. "You little...you tricked me!" Nova screeched, "Hai, you want my power, you'll have to get it from me!" Kamen stated, standing up and folding his arms, his now dark purple cape fluttered behind him in the breeze. Reaching inside his pocket, he pulled out a golden rose. "Who cares about Earth's power, Saturn is much more powerful. I only have to utter three words and the world is GONE!" She threw her head back and cackled with evil glee. Saturn's short dark hair brushed her cheek as she turned to face the Outer senshi. "Say good bye to your precious Hotaru-chan. Haruka-papa, Michiru-mama, Setsuna-mama..." The Outer senshi froze, they didn't dare attack for fear of hurting Hotaru. They each knew if they could get the bracers off Saturn's wrists, Nova's control. Saturn raised the silence glaive high. "Death..." The edge of the glaive began to glow a pale purple. Long sinewy ribbons appeared, slowly winding around her. "...Ribbon...AHH!!!" She didn't see Moshi awaken and rush forward. "IIE!!!" Before Saturn could finish reciting her forbidden attack, Moshi struck out and connected her first with Horatu's jaw, sending the small girl flying. "Mo-chan!" Jupiter cried, rushing over to her. "Gomen nasai, I couldn't let her finish the attack!" Moshi cried. "Haruka-papa...nani?" Saturn uttered, sitting up holding her aching jaw. The silver bracers unhooked themselves and fell to the ground. The control was broken. She was quickly covered by the other Outer senshi, who were quickly checking her jaw to see if Moshi had broken it. Luckily, it was in one piece. "She's coming back, I can't let her!" Moshi cried. In her palm she held the tiny tan stone that was one part of her necklace. She could feel a small amount of power seeping from the gem. The hairs on the back of her neck started to stand up. "I sense her," Mars said, putting her hands to her temples. A black cloud of hate filled Mars' senses, she could almost taste the hate Nova had for the senshi. She knew, this would be one battle not forgotten. "Everyone, get ready." She concentrated, pooling her power, hoping that she would be in peak condition to fight. She looked to the side and saw Venus doing the same, maybe she sensed the same evil that was quickly approaching. "Midget, I think you should take your power back," Kamen said, walking over to his sister. "Iie, Tuxedo Kamen-sama, if I take it back she can posses me again." Moshi shook her head, her dark hair flew about her shoulders before settling down her back. "I can use my old power." "How about I use my power!" a voice screeched. Moshi tensed up, she knew it was Nova. A bright silver light approached from the sky, growing in size as it descended. From afar, Moshi could see the silver clad senshi within the light. "Earth Planet Power, Make up!!!" she yelled, recalling the words that was so long forgotten. The stone started to glow as she released it. It hovered before her chest and started flashing rapidly. The ground beneath her started to shine as energy flowed. She crossed her hands back and forth, creating infinity signs with the energy. The old tan and yellow fuku started to form. Once her hair was back in it's old style and the jewels that she once wore were in place, her tiara twinkled. It was the old Sailor Earth back again. Venus voice called from the back. "Minna, mamo Usagi-chan!" She knew that Moshi was only a primary target. The one she really wanted was EternalSailor Moon. Like a brick wall, they stood in front of Usagi. In the front Tuxedo Kamen and Sailor Earth stood, elbows touching. Behind them, Venus and Jupiter stood prepared for battle. Guarding Sailor Moon herself was Mars, ready to lay down her life. Mercury was close at hand as well. The outer senshi closed in behind Sailor Moon, making a protective barrier. "I will attack the moment she lands," Sailor Earth whispered to Kamen, who nodded in agreement. She knew it would be a rough fight, as this version of Sailor Earth, she wasn't as powerful, in fact she only had one attack, Rock and Roll. "Nova!" she yelled, placing her fists on her hips, standing in a position stating defiance. "Rock and Roll!!!!!" "Nani?" Nova asked as the brown wave of energy coursed through the ground, shaking her off her feet. Obscenities filled the air as the silver senshi fell to the ground. Taking his chance, Kamen attacked. "Kamen boomerang!" He pulled a golden rose from his pocket and threw it. As the rose flew through the air, it morphed into a sigil of his symbol, the circle with a cross. With the power of a cutting disc, it ripped across Nova's arm. "You've been a pain in my side for a while now," Earth said, slowly walking forward. Nova's arm was still thrown across her face, blood oozing sluggishly from the cracked silver gauntlet. "Your side? How about mine?" Nova asked, looking up. "I don't want to fight you." Sailor Earth clinched her fists and glared at Nova, who was slowly standing up. "You think I care? SHI-NE!" she screamed, releasing a stream of silver energy at Sailor Earth. Nimbly, she ducked to the right and retaliated. "Rock and Roll!!!" Behind her she could hear Jupiter yell, a sparkling disc flew past her and slammed into Nova's stomach. Cursing Nova bent over and stood up again, a dark streak was across her stomach, where the attack hit. "ARgh! Nova Star Scream!!!" She cupped her hands around her mouth and released an unholy sound. Earth cursed and covered her ears, trying to block the sound. Before any of the senshi could recover, Nova took this as a chance and plowed into Earth, using her body as a projectile. Together they both flew backwards, heading towards a wooden fence. In a pile of wood, both senshi laid unconscious. "Midget!" Kamen yelled, jumping to his feet and racing to the fallen senshi. Earth was the first to recover, her eyelids fluttered as she noticed something massive was on her chest. All she saw was silver and heard the low guttural groans of someone in pain. "I wonder if I can still do it," she thought to herself as she slowly wrapped her arms around Nova. "What the--" Nova started as she was suddenly filled with volts of energy. She screamed and pawed at Earth, trying to make her stop but the energy continued to flow into her. The fact she was wearing a metallic fuku didn't help, it was almost like stepping into a pool of water during a lightning storm. Earth dropped Nova's body and slowly stood up, her transformation melted away. "Damn, I lost my henshin!" she yelled. "Get out of there!" Moon yelled. A loud sound erupted from behind Moshi. Not even turning around to see, she streaked across the park's grass, heading for the senshi. A bright silver light appeared behind her. Debris filled the air, large pieces of dirt and grass flew past her head. One piece, the size of a basketball connected with the back of her head, making her nose dive towards terra firma. When she came to, Moshi heard the screams of various attacks and the voices of senshi falling. Next to her, unconscious was Venus. Hovering hover her in a protective stance was Mercury. "Ami-chan, what's happening?!" Moshi asked wearily, she could see fear and determination in Mercury's eyes. "Nova is too strong. Only a few of us are standing." Mercury looked down at Moshi, feeling more worry creeping into her. The expression on Moshi's face was one of not fear, but total rage. Closing her fist over the tan stone, she slowly got to her feet. Tuxedo Kamen had transformed into his armor. He and Uranus were battling Nova, trying to penetrate the metal armor to pierce her heart. Each senshi was clearly trying to attack the best they could. Each round Nova was shooting blasts of silver, each blast seemed to be growing stronger. "It's useless, I have no power, I have no henshin. What good am I?" Moshi cried. Mercury placed a hand on her shoulder as reassurance. "Don't talk like that!" Mercury said. "It's true, no wonder Usagi-chan made that joke about me not being the real Sailor Earth. It's true!" "Takanera Moshi!" Ami said sharply, her cheeks were flushed with anger. "Don't you dare say that about yourself. We each have a role we play, simply because things doesn't go well at a time does not make you useless!" Moshi was taken aback, she'd rarely heard Ami raise her voice in anger at her. "Gomen, Ami-chan, but what can I do?" she sniffed, glancing down at the tan stone in her palm. "I don't know Moshi, I just don't know," Mercury replied. "I want to help my friends, I must become the knight!" she clenched the stone tightly, cracking the gold casing. She opened her palm and saw a spot of blood growing where the gold cut her. The tan stone blurred a dark brownish red. She felt a burning sensation on her forehead and knew her symbol was starting to glow. A projection of the symbol appeared over the stone, the stone was the middle part with the two circles branching out. From the sign a handle appeared, grasping the handle she held it up in the sky. "Nani?" Mercury whispered, backing away slowly. The symbol that was blazing on Moshi's forehead was now giving off a bright golden light. The handle she was holding slowly grew into a longsword. The steel of the blade seemed to shine with a light of it's own. "It's the Dawnbringer!" Moshi cried. "I finally have my sword! Knight Power, Come to me!!!!" she yelled. The light of the blade grew and enveloped Moshi, turning her pajamas into the fuku of the Utopia Knight. Her armor resembled that of Prince Endymion, except where his was black, hers was a deep purple. On her wrists were two shining bands of gold. her infinity sign was held in place with a thin golden chain, like when she was SuperSailor Earth. Mercury stood flabbergasted. "It's the Utopia Knight.." she whispered, her hands flying to her face. Utopia raced forward, her purple cape fluttering behind her. "Utopia Sword Illumination!!" she yelled as she swung the longsword out in front, creating an arc of light that lit the whole park. Everyone screamed and covered their eyes, falling to their knees. "Nan des ka?!" Nova screamed as she fought to regain her sight. As her vision came back slowly, she could see a figure standing before her, armed with a longsword. It didn't seem to be the prince or the other senshi with the sword she was fighting. "Jinsei to enaajii no, Arumorudu fuku, bishoujo naito! Yutopia no Naito! Mugendaini kawatte, oshioki-yo!!!!" "NANI!!!" Nova screamed again, rearing back in fear. She could see the anger blazoned across the knight's cheeks. She knew, this battle was going to end ugly. A coldness crept across the violet eyes as she whispered one word. "Shi-ne.." "Mo-chan, DON'T!!!" Moon screamed, stopping Utopia from plunging the blade into Nova's chest. Utopia's arm didn't waver, it simply held the sword poised above Nova's heart, just an inch from cutting through the armor. "I can't let her live, she caused me too much pain!" "If you do it, you're no better than Mosite!" Jupiter yelled. Utopia turned her head towards Jupiter. "You've forgotten, Mako-chan, I am Mosite!" Jupiter reared back as if she was slapped. She couldn't understand the coldness that enveloped her friend. The grip on the longsword didn't waver as she talked, she simply had the one thought of murder on her mind. Utopia turned back to finish what she started. "Sayanora, Nova-sama...SHI-NE!" She leaned forward on the hilt, aiming for Nova's heart. A blinding light careened into Utopia's arm, knocking the sword sideways. She grabbed her hand and cursed, looking for who threw the attack. Taking her chance, Nova vanished. "Who threw that?!" Utopia screamed, whirling around holding her damaged hand. "I did," Venus replied, balling her hands into fists and planting them on her hips. "I refuse to stand here and let you destroy someone!" "Minako-chan, what is with you. You wouldn't destroy me then, but you were going to now!" "I know that if you destroy Nova, you will kill a part of yourself as well!" Venus replied, her eyes turning into chips of blue ice. Mars stepped next to her. "This isn't yourself talking. I can sense Mosite near the surface. The power is overwhelming her because Mamoru-san still has her power." Utopia walked over and picked up her sword. A growl escaped her throat as she spoke. "The next time any of you do something like that, and I will kill you." Uranus didn't like the crazed look in Moshi's eye. "You can't kill us all." "No, but I can start with you!" Utopia growled, her violet eyes seemed to flash with each word. Jupiter placed a hand on Uranus' shoulder. "Haruka-san, please let me." She stepped forward, her hands held in a gesture of surrender. "Mo-chan, as your best friend I feel I should do this." This caught Utopia off guard. "Do what?" Jupiter's fist shot out, connecting with Utopia's jaw. With a loud grunt, Utopia dropped the sword and fell to the ground unconscious. Pluto called Moon over to her. "Princess, you must hit Moshi with an attack to knock her out of her henshin. Like Mars' said, the power is overwhelming her and Mosite is near the surface of her persona." Moon nodded, gripping her eternal tier and stepping forward. "Silver Moon, Crystal Power Kiss!!!" The arc of energy appeared and surrounded Utopia, rendering her transformation and turning her back to Moshi. Tuxedo Kamen gathered Moshi in his arms. "I think we better get her home. * * * * Moaning, Moshi slowly roused herself to alertness. She looked around, she was in her bedroom at Mamoru's place. "How did I get here?" She looked down and noticed her pajamas had been replaced and her hair was pulled back in a tight braid. "Ah, Midget. You're finally awoke!" Mamoru said as he entered her room with food on a tray. "It's about time, you've been out for days." "NANI!?" she screeched, glancing at her wrists. She noticed the bracers were gone. On the night stand she saw the tan stone and her wand. "I've become the knight, haven't I?" she asked. "Hai, you became the knight. We didn't defeat Nova though," he said, sitting down on the bed. "I became the knight," she whispered. "Jonokuti!" "Hai, jonokuti," Mamoru agreed. Oshimai, da yo!
