Rage. By: Tory L Brown (tory_brown@yahoo.com)* * * * The white hairs were growing more and more each day. She didn't know what to do, the more she tried to ignore them the more they grew. Everyday, when she looked in the mirror, more white hairs were evident. At this rate, all her hair would be white. Can you imagine it? White odangos? Her mom thought she was getting chalk in her hair from school. No, chalk doesn't dye your hair totally white. She tried dying it back black, but the white hairs continued to appear. Along with the appearance of the white hairs, she also felt large uncountable amounts of rage. She couldn't control the anger that surged throughout her entire body. She didn't have any reasons to be upset; she was just reunited with her brother but yet she yelled at her mom, slammed doors, swore out loud. She was even in a fight at school. Kami-sama, the rage. The rage. It grew and grew. She feared it was eating away at her, one day it might consume her. Moshi was scared, very scared. Some day the rage might manifest itself, and she wouldn't know what to do. * * * * "Ohaiyo, Mo-chan!" Usagi called as she ran to catch up with Moshi. As usual, she was late, but today Moshi was late also. Moshi smiled. "Ohaiyo, Usagi-chan, looks like we're late again!" she winced slightly. She hated being bawled out by Haruna-sensei! They crept through the empty hallways heading for 2-1. Moshi crouched down low and tried to sneak into the room, but she was spotted by Haruna-sensei. "You two, late again I see!" the sensei huffed. Moshi was starting to be late for school like Usagi. She knew Usagi would be an influence on Moshi. "Yeah yeah, and?" Moshi said before she realized what she had said. Usagi gasped and gawked at Moshi. What was she doing?! Haruna's eyes flashed as she turned to Moshi. "What was that, Takanera-kun?!" "I said I woke up late today and--," she stammered, trying to make up for lost ground. That damn rage was back and now she was yelling at her teachers! With their heads hung low, and ponytails barely scraping the ground. Usagi and Moshi made their way to their seats. They rarely spoke during that day, keeping their eyes straight ahead on Haruna-sensei. Moshi flinched as a piece of paper clipped her cheek and landed on her desk. She opened it, scribbled something, and threw it back at Usagi. Usagi opened the paper and saw that Moshi drew a spike through the rabbit's head and answered Usagi's question of 'What's wrong' with 'None of your business.' She never knew Moshi to be spiteful. Lately Moshi was acting weird. The other day, Chibiusa tugged on her ponytail and Moshi nearly bit her head off, normally Moshi was usually the one to talk with Chibiusa. Usagi didn't know what was wrong, what ever it was She would hate to see it. "Remember class today you have gym and Takanera-kun, you have biology afterwards." Haruna-sensei said placing her ruler on the desk. "Now class if you pull out your math books, we can begin where we left off yesterday... " The class, especially Usagi, moaned in response as they lugged the heavy math books out of their desks. Of all the subjects, Usagi hated math the most. Sticking her tongue out, Usagi opened her book to the page where she scribbled, 'Math sucks'. The class worked on their math for the next half-hour. Usagi glanced over at Moshi. Her violet eyes shimmered in sadness, as her lower lip protruded in a pout. She noticed Usagi glancing at her so she turned and stuck out her tongue at Usagi and giggled quietly. Usagi laughed nervously. It seemed Moshi was back in a good mood. What concerned Usagi really was her hair. Moshi's black hair looked as if someone splattered white paint on it. More white hairs were appearing each day. Usagi wanted to ask her about it, but she was afraid, seeing how Moshi was acting most of the day. * * * * "Oh volley ball, I love volley ball. It's been a while since I've played!" Naru said excitedly as she pulled her short fiery hair in a severe ponytail. Moshi was standing across from Naru, leaning against her locker. "Amateur," she snorted, slamming the locker hard. Naru jumped. " Lighten up, Moshi-chan!" Her eyes flashed as she stalked closer to Naru. "Lighten up? Lighten up? I am lightening up all right, with anger!" Moshi roared, slamming a fist into her locker. "I'm sick of this school, sick of you and sick of EVERYTHING!" Mentally she winced, the rage was back, and she couldn't control it! Usagi had flinched when Moshi hit the locker. She threw her sweatshirt on and walked toward Naru and Moshi. "Mo-chan, what's wrong!" she asked, her blue eyes filled with worry. Moshi's face turned slightly red. "Gomen nasai, Naru-chan, Usagi-chan. I've just been having family problems lately...you know about my dad and stuff," she trailed off. She gave Naru a stiff hug and walked out the locker room, leaving them both in a rush. Naru shivered, Moshi was scaring her. She didn't like the look in her gray eyes. Gray eyes? Moshi never had gray eyes, or so she thought. "Usagi-chan, has Moshi always had gray eyes?" she asked. Usagi shook her head. "Iie, Moshi always had violet eyes." On that note, Miko's voiced filled her head. "She turned Mosite's white hair black and her gray eyes violet..." * * * * Out on the volleyball court, it was class 2-1 against class 2-6. The lead hitters for each team was Moshi and Makoto, who seemed to be having their own personal battle with each other. For every serve, there was a beautiful hit. The two could have played a game of one on one. "Here it comes, Mo-chan!" Makoto yelled as she spiked the ball back over the net, barely missing Moshi's head. Moshi cackled and returned the hit with flair. "Right back at you, Mako-chan!" Poor Usagi got pushed out of the way of the ball many times, so she just moved when the ball came her way. Usagi screamed as the ball came straight for her. She covered her head and ducked under the net, missing the hit completely. Moshi's eyes flashed as she walked over. "What is wrong, are you scared of a ball?" "I just thought I was going to get creamed!" Usagi stated. This reminded her too much of her and Rei's arguments. "You wimp!" she yelled, snatching the ball from Usagi's hands and going back to her position. "See if you can get this Mako-chan!" she yelled and drove the ball over the net right for Makoto. Makoto returned the shot. The two played like crazed women for the rest of the tournament. The more Makoto slammed the ball, the more Moshi slammed it in return. It was almost like Moshi was showing her up in front of everyone. She refused to let the midget get the best of her! On the last serve Makoto punched the ball with all her might, it cannon balled over the net, right into Moshi's face, connecting with her nose. With a loud grunt, she hit the ground. Jumping up with a red nose, she made a straight line for Makoto. "Hey, what the hell was that for!" she griped, rubbing her aching nose. Makoto shrugged. "Gomen." "Don't 'Gomen' me, amazon, you did that on purpose!" Moshi accused, poking Makoto in the shoulder hard. Green eyes flashed as they glared into violet ones. "Now why would I do that midget!" she returned, also returning the poke, double hard. A girl screamed fight causing everyone to surround them both. Moshi rolled up her sleeves and shoved Makoto onto her butt. Blinking in disbelief, Makoto jumped up and shoved Moshi onto the ground. The two started to close in on each other as Usagi tried to push her way through. "Iie, yamate!" she yelled, tugging on t-shirts and pushing on shoulders to get to her friends, she couldn't let them fight! Moshi reared back ready to slap Makoto into next week when Usagi's face filled her vision. "Usagi, Makoto....Nani...doko," she stuttered, looking to her friends for answers. "I was ready to pound you into the ground!" Makoto said, her fists still balled up. Moshi shook her head. "We were fighting?" she asked, sounding as if she didn't know what was happening. "You don't remember?" Usagi asked, noting that now her eyes were fully violet. "Iie, don't remember. All I remember was saying Ohaiyo and I woke up late. That was it." Makoto's green eyes softened. "You don't remember any of it?" "No I don't, why would we be fighting?" Moshi asked, looking up at the taller girl. "Mako-chan, you're my best friend. I admire you too much to fight you," she said, lowering her head in an ashamed gesture. Makoto fought the blush that was creeping up her neck. "Admire me? Doushite?" Moshi sighed and looked up again. "I wish I was more like you. You're strong, you have a good heart, and you know that. Me, I'm still struggling to find out who I am." She lowered her head again, fighting the sudden rush of tears. The gym teacher interrupted the three talking. "Tsukino, Takanera, Kino, haul your butts inside, gym is over for today!" "Hai, sensei!" the three saluted and ran inside to change for class. "See you in biology!" Makoto yelled and ran to catch up with her class. * * * * "Mamo-chan?" Usagi asked, her blue eyes softening. Mamoru looked at Usagi. "Hai?" Usagi cleared her throat and started twiddling her thumbs. "Have you noticed something weird about Moshi lately?" "I haven't really seen Moshi lately, not since we found out we were related--" he trailed off, feeling slightly embarrassed. It's only been a few weeks since he found his sister. "Something's not right, I can feel it," Usagi finished, snuggling closer to Mamoru. * * * * Moshi was at the library, doing some of her biology homework. She had a few hours before she was to meet the girls at Rei's place. Removing her jacket, she sighed as she fiddled with her tie. Biology was her best subject, so this shouldn't take too much time to finish. Why was it taking her so long? She already knew why. She was worried about what was happening to her. The Rage. She mentally snorted, it even had it's own name, The Rage. Slamming her biology book shut, she lowered her head to the table, giving up on fighting the tiredness that ran through her body. "Hehehehehehe" the mocking laughter entered her ears. Moshi sat up and looked around. Who was that? She shrugged and laid her head back on the table, until it happened again. "Don't worry Moshi, you shall soon see... " She sat straight up. "Who are you!" The librarian shushed her. Blushing, she laid her head back down. The voice was suddenly quiet. She simply shrugged it off and closed her eyes in rest. * * * * "Where is that girl!" Rei fumed as she sat on her bed, thumbing through her English textbook. Ami looked up, "Well, I saw her at the library doing biology," she smirked, glad to see someone else serious about homework like her. Usagi groaned inwardly. "She might have went to sleep!" Ducking a swat from Ami, she moved across the room. The door flew open and a small figure bounced into the room. Her dark ponytails floated around her head as she gasped. "Gomen nasai! I fell asleep!" She flopped on the floor next to Usagi. Rei glared and said, "Stupid!" in English. Minako started giggling, she knew what Rei said. The rest in the room looked on trying to figure out what Rei had said. "Who are you calling stupid?!" Moshi returned in English. "I can speak English too you know!" Minako grinned and continued to laugh. The confused look on Usagi's face made her laugh louder. "Minako-chan, what are they saying?!" Usagi asked, tugging on Minako's slipknot on her school shirt. Minako waved her off. "Wait, this is good. I'll translate." Moshi groaned, she really didn't feel like sparring with Rei now. "Aw geez, Rei-chan! Calm down and quit being such a buttnerd!" she spat at Rei, removing her shoes and sitting down at the table. Rei's face turned red with anger. Standing up, she balled a fist. "I don't know what you... ano... said, but forget you stupid!" she said, trying to translate the words in her head. Behind them, Minako translated the conversation to Usagi and Makoto who giggled after the 'buttnerd' remark. Ami was trying to block them out by burying her face behind her textbook. "Good, get angry, I like angry," the voice said, causing Moshi to pause, loosing her footing for a second. "Admit it Rei-chan," Moshi said, ignoring the voice in her head. "You just can't speak English like me or Minako-chan!" "I so speak English too!" Rei said, trying to match words together. She knew she lost this one...but she wasn't going down a loser! Moshi snorted and said to Minako, "Just because she take English don't mean she can speak it!" "I know, Usagi-chan and Mako-chan are totally confused!" Minako answered causing them both to howl with laughter. Rei's face was turning as red as her bedspread and Usagi and Makoto tittered nervously, knowing that they didn't know what Moshi and Minako were saying. "I can say purple dogs and they still wouldn't know!" Moshi hooted, holding her sides, they felt as if they would burst. Minako could do nothing but laugh also, they both wound up on the floor rolling. Behind Rei, Ami caught a bit of what they were saying and started to giggle also, but a glance from Rei clamed her up quickly. Miko looked to Shi as if asking, 'what's this about?' Shi only shrugged in return, going back to her magazine. "What's all the laughing about?" Mamoru said as he entered, ducking so that he wouldn't hit his head on the doorway. "They're mad because they can't understand us Ru-chan!" Moshi started. "I so speak English too!" she mimicked Rei, sounding exactly like her, this only sent Minako off into new waves of laughter. Mamoru chuckled. "Don't tell me you were arguing in English," he said, also in English, receiving nods from Minako and Moshi. Moshi settled back down at the table, her sides aching from laughing. "Gomen Rei-chan, I just didn't know that would upset you," she began looking at Rei's face, which was scrunched in anger. "Aw come on now! I said I was sorry, Minako just laughed!" Over in the corner Miko and Chibiusa played cards and from the sounds they were making, one could tell Chibiusa was winning. Standing and giggling she walked over to Moshi, who was nibbling on a potato chip. "Mo-chan, I have a card trick to show you, wanna see?" she asked as she laid the cards out on the table in front of Moshi. Suddenly Moshi's eyes turned gray as she snarled loudly. "Get these stinking cards out of my face you pink haired twit!" On twit, she slapped the cards in every direction, making Chibiusa cower away in fear. The mood in the room changed quickly from fun to serious. Mamoru frowned at Moshi. "What the heck was that about?" he asked as his blue eyes hardened in anger. "She only wanted to show you a card trick!" Usagi said, comforting a scared Chibiusa. Miko let out a low pitch whine as she ran over to Shi and hid behind her. Moshi closed her, now gray eyes and put her head on the table. "It's almost time for me to be free!" the voice began again, this time stronger than before. "Who are you?" Moshi asked as she sat ramrod straight. "You know who I am Moshi. I'm you!" the voice taunted. Ami looked at Moshi. "What are you talking about?" Not waiting for a answer she slowly scooted away taking her books with her. Rei put her hands to her head. "I can feel you...where are you!" she asked, looking at Moshi. "Nani?" Usagi asked looking from Moshi to Rei in confusion. They think you're crazy," the voice said, making Moshi angry. "I am not crazy!" Moshi screamed, tugging hard on her ponytails. Moshi dashed out of the room screaming. Rei cried out and chased after her with an ofuda. With the others in tow they wound up outside in the afternoon sun. "Moshi...Moshi don't ignore me, you can't ignore me, I'm you!" the voice persisted. "Leave me alone!" Moshi yelled. "Dammit, I'm tired of you who ever you are!" The voice said this time harsh. "Like I said, I am you. I am the rage you've been feeling. I am the rage left over from a thousand years ago." "That's it! GET OUT NOW!" Moshi yelled, tugging even harder at her ponytails. She screamed in fear as another pair of arms appeared at her sides. The arms were clad in purple sleeves decorated with gold cufflinks. A loud popping sound could be heard as a second set of legs emerged, also clad in purple pants and dark boots. Everyone gasped, it was the uniform of a general, one of Beryl's generals. A second head emerged, covered with white hair. The gray eyes of the second head flashed as they tried to pull Moshi away from whatever that other thing was. As the loud ripping sound was heard, before them stood two girls, Moshi and Mosite. Moshi pointed. "It was you! You made me do all those evil things!" Mosite smirked. "Yes, It was me," she answered, sweeping the long white hair up in a quick odango. Shi stood next to her mother, fists balling in anger. "Why are you back?" Shi asked. The younger Takanera's voice was laced with a thread of solid ice. Mosite twisted her lips in an ugly grimace. "Because, I want to live again. To get life I must take life!" She pointed at Moshi. "I want your power!" Makoto's eyes flashed as she rolled up her sleeves. "You actually think we're going to sit here and let you?" Moshi raised her hand. "No, Mako-chan. This is something I have to do.. She turned to Shi and grabbed her shoulders, locking gazes with her daughter. "Chibimo, take Chibiusa and Miko inside now," she ordered. Shi nodded, pausing to get Mosite another harsh glance, and ushered Chibiusa and Miko back inside. Mosite flicked her wrist and her large katana blade and shield embossed with the symbol of Beryl's army appeared. Moshi watched as Shi ushered the smaller Senshi back into the temple. Once they were safely inside, she turned her attention back to Mosite. "You want my power, you crazy bitch. Come get it!" she removed her henshin star and held it up in the sunlight. "Earth Star Power, make up!" Sailorearth stood with her hands planted on her hips, her purple skirt fluttered in the breeze. The purple stone on her tiara winked in the sunlight. "Jinsei to enaajii no, seera fuku, bishoujo Senshi, Seeraaasu! Mugadaini kawatte, oshioki-yo!" "Bring it on, I've been waiting for this!" Mosite growled, wielding her glowing blade. "Life force!" Sailorearth yelled, propelling a large ball of purple energy at Mosite. The General didn't even move, she merely smacked it away with her sword. "She took some of my energy with her!" Earth thought as she countered Mosite's sweeping attack with her glowing katana. "I'll have to go with a more powerful attack!" "Cosmic Lightning!" She called down the dark cloud and retrieved a large lightning bolt. Holding it between her hands, she spun and hurled it at Mosite with all her strength. "What the fu--" Mosite said as the lightning bolt slammed into her shield, sending her sprawling. As she crawled to retrieve her shield, another lightning bolt connected with her side, ripping her uniform, exposing her white flesh. Minako and Makoto cheered from the sidelines. "Go, Sailorearth!" They danced a little and imitated cheerleaders. Usagi and Rei soon joined the party. They cheered Sailorearth on, giving her a burst of pride. Her friends were cheering for her! The two sparred off, getting hits from one another in each round. The fight seemed to be going in favor of Sailorearth until Mosite did one desperate move. She raised her katana blade over head and smashed the handle into Sailorearth's nose. The pain of the hit exploded in her head like fireworks as she fell to her knees holding her damaged nose. "By bose!" she screamed, sounding like she had a cold. Blood poured from her noise turning her bow a sickly orange. The others flinched when they heard the handle connect with her nose. Usagi screamed out "Mo-chan!" Mamoru grimaced as he tried to hold Usagi back. Makoto couldn't take it any longer, she whipped out her henshin stick and threw it into the air. "Jupiter Star Power--" "Iie!" Luna said. "I understand, this is a battle that we can't fight..." As a response Makoto held her head down. The pain of her broken nose flooded her body in waves. As she sat there on her knees, Mosite brought her leg up and planted her foot in Sailorearth's chest, knocking her to the ground. Standing over her with her glowing katana blade point right under Sailorearth's chin she gasped, "Do you yield, Sailor Jerk?" Feeling a second wind, Sailorearth responded, "No, do you!" She raised her leg and kicked Mosite in the groin. "Heh it was cheap shot, but everything's legal in this battle!" she thought as she propelled herself to her feet. Mosite doubled over and screamed, dropping her blade. "Low blow, Sailor Squirt!" "Life Force Absorb!" She grinned as she prepared to take Mosite's life energy, but something went wrong in the transfer. Instead of the energy being white like most life forces, Mosite's was a dank deep black and Sailorearth knew that something was dreadfully wrong. When the energy approached her it slammed into her henshin star and cracked its exterior. Sailorearth's head whipped back, her mouth opened in an unheard scream. She clawed at the henshin star, as if trying to prevent the energy from entering. The tan stone bounced out onto the ground, releasing Sailorearth from her transformation. Moshi stood before Mosite clad in only her school fuku. She gasped and scrambled for her stone, but it was no use it was broken and all she had to fight was herself. No Sailorearth, no nothing. Mosite threw her head back and cackled with insane glee, strands of her white hair whipped in the breeze as she went for her katana blade. "Now, I will destroy you!" She emitted a high pitched scream as she charged with her blade extended. "Midget, abunnai!" Mamoru screamed. Moshi tried to move but was too slow. Mosite ran into her, slamming the kantana through her stomach. She felt her body arc as the sword emerged from the back. At first, she was in shock. It didn't hurt, but she was sure it was because of the shock. "I win," Mosite whispered in Moshi's ear. She put a foot on Moshi's chest and pushed, drawing the sword out. The movement made a squishy sound. Moshi was still standing, looking at the gaping wound in shock. Dazed, she looked up, seeing the shocked faces of her friends as she fell to the ground. A loud scream reached everyone's ears from inside of Rei's as Chibiusa ran out, crying. "Mi-chan's gone! Shi-san's gone too!" She fell to the ground and began to sob loudly. The moment the blade entered Moshi's stomach, Shi and Miko vanished from existence. No mother, no children. This made Chibiusa worry, if her friend could vanish so easily, would she vanish also if someone killed Usagi? Mamoru ran down the stairs, tripping over his feet as he ran. "MIDGET!" he called as he picked her limp body up in his arms. Her eyes focused on him as she smiled weakly. "Ru-chan, I guess I wasn't quick enough," she said as she started to cough. Her fuku was quickly becoming deep red. The blood was starting to gather about her in a pool. Each breath was becoming shallower than the last. Makoto growled as she turned toward the grinning Mosite. "You think that's funny, well how about someone your own size!" Before Ami could stop her, she charged Mosite with her fists flying. Mosite just leaped away giggling that insane laugh while hovering in the air. She wanted to see her victim die slowly. Just like she was now. Usagi's blue eyes filled with tears as she kneeled by Mamoru and Moshi. Putting her hand on one of Moshi's odangos, she said. "Maybe I can use the Ginzuishou to heal her!" Mamoru only shook his head in return. "I might lose her and I don't want to lose you too!" he cried, knowing how dangerous it is to use the Ginzuishou. "Daijoubu, Usagi-chan. It doesn't hurt, much," she said as tears ran down the sides of her face. She coughed as another spasm wrack her body. She took a deep breath and looked into the faces of her friends. A small smile crossed her lips as her eyes looked into some unknown place. The black pupils of her eyes swelled to an enormous size as her head lolled to one side in death. Mamoru threw his head back and released a hoarse cry. Usagi put her face in her hands and wept. Makoto collapsed to her knees and started to sob. Ami, who was crying also, gathered Makoto in her arms and they both cried. Rei clinched her fists in anger, tears fighting paths down her flushed cheeks. Minako's eyes swelled with tears as she leaned her head on Rei's shoulder. Luna buried her face against Artemis' side, dampening his fur with her tears. "It's not fair!" Usagi said, as more tears ran down her flushed cheeks. "I won, I get to live again!" Mosite cackled as she wiped her katana blade on the grass leaving a red wet stain in its wake. A voice unknown to them, except Mamoru, filled the air. "You think you won, but think again." A bright ball of light floated down from the air and expanded. A figure emerged and the light vanished. The woman had raven colored hair pulled back in a braid. Her brown eyes surveyed the area as she lifted the folds of her brown silk dress to walk forward. It was Gaia! "Okaa-san," Mamoru said swallowing the lump that formed in his throat. Gaia smiled a sad smile as she looked to Moshi, whose lips were already a deathly blue. She looked the same as she did the first time Serenity sent her to Earth. She bent down and picked up the stone that was once a part of Moshi's henshin necklace. "Usagi-sama, please give me Moshi's henshin star." With trembling fingers, Usagi removed the cracked henshin star and gave it to Gaia. "It's just cracked a bit," she said as the stone hovered from her hands and placed itself back in the center of the star. She attached the star to Moshi's fuku and before everyone's eyes, Moshi transformed back into Sailorearth. She remained deep within the clutches of death. Mamoru sniffled as another tear slid down his face. "Midget, don't go, we haven't had a chance to be a real brother and sister team!" His tear fell, landing on her cheek. He cradled her small body to his own and as he did, the symbol of Earth appeared on his forehead and shone brightly. The light from his symbol graced Earth's forehead. Her tiara vanished and her infinity sign reacted to the light. The small puddle his tears created started to glow brightly. A blinding white light appeared and hovered around Sailorearth, healing the large wound in her stomach. Earth's eyelids fluttered as her tiara came back and she opened her eyes. Her pupils shrank as she tried to focus on the face of whoever was holding her. "Ru-chan!" she said as she reached up and wrapped her arms around his neck. "Midget," he said as he returned the hug. Usagi let out a sigh of relief as another such sigh could be heard behind them. Chibiusa turned and saw that Shi and Miko had returned! "You!" Sailorearth said as she stood to her feet. Gaia placed her hand on Earth's shoulder to stop her. "You will need this to defeat Mosite," Gaia said revealing the bracelet she held in her hand. She attached the bracelet to Moshi's small wrist. "To use this say, 'Cyber Earth, make up!'" Mosite folded her arms snorted. "I like to keep my victims dead, Gaia," she said, narrowing her eyes into gray slits. "No one asked you to come here she died fair and square!" The glint in Sailorearth's eyes said that the fight was on. She raised her arm into the air and the bracelet glittered in the sun. She passed her arm past her face and yelled, "Cyber Earth, make up!" Her fuku turned into purple and yellow colored metal. The white bodice of her fuku turned into white metal. The long dark ponytails turned into dark metallic like spikes as her odangos turned into two metal balls. On her face, a pair of purple shades covered her eyes as a white metal mask covered the rest of her face. The others gasped as Makoto declared, "Dear God, she's a robot!" "You think some stupid Halloween getup is suppose to scare me!" Mosite yelled as she pointed a finger at Sailorearth. White petals appeared and surrounded Earth. She brushed the petals off and looked at Mosite who was starting to show cringes of fear. "That was an attack? Ha!" Cyberearth laughed as she pointed a finger at Mosite. "Cyber Laser!" A beam of purple light emerged from one metal finger and needled straight into Mosite's heart. A soundless scream came from her as the laser blast burned what was left of her heart. Cyberearth stood on one leg as the serrated edges of her skirt stood out like a hula-hoop. She slowly began to spin in a circle turning the skirt into a whirling blade. Ami covered her eyes as Usagi and Mamoru covered Miko and Chibiusa's eyes. The serrated metal chewed through Mosite's flesh like a dog ripping at a meaty bone. Blood flew in every direction, covering the ground like a mad artist attack the canvas with red paint. Mosite's shredded body began to quiver. Sailorcyberearth pointed her finger and yelled, "Cyber Laser Shower!" A large burst of energy appeared and flew away from her finger in multiple shots. The beams slammed into Mosite, ripping her into pieces. Body parts fell like rain, causing everyone to scream, they never seen such a gruesome battle. As fast as the parts appeared they vanished, taking all the blood with them, leaving Sailorcyberearth and the Senshi. Wiping a fleck of blood and gore from her cheek, Cyberearth transformed back to Moshi. Falling to her knees she took in a deep breath and wailed, "Kami-sama forgive me!" Rei's eyes enlarged at what she heard. "Nani?" Moshi looked over to Rei. "I took a life. I am the Senshi of Life. I am suppose to protect Life, not take it!" Tears fell down her cheeks, splashing against her star. Gaia walked over to Moshi and kneeled besides her, placing her arm around her shoulders. "It was in self-defense. Had you not protected yourself she would have taken your life." Makoto nodded. "If she'd killed you, she would have killed your children as well!" Minako stood up from where she was sitting. "Hai. You can't mess with fate!" Usagi's blue eyes swelled with tears. "Group hug!" She rushed over and pounced on Moshi, wrapping her arms around her. Two smaller bodies did the same, creating a large mound of arms and legs. Soon everyone was pouncing onto the mound, laughing, and squirming. A warm feeling crept into Moshi's heart. The feeling of love, protection and being wanted. "Gaia, Usagi-chan, Ami-chan, Makoto-chan, Rei-chan, Minako-chan, Ru-chan, Shi, Miko, Luna, Artemis, Miko-mama. I need these people in my life. Life, such a beautiful thing.... Without them, it would be impossible."
