The Death of Sailor Moon II
Renee’s Fate
Chapter 4
Time Madness

-WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER ? ?

-Well...let say that I gave her a trip to the neitherworld.

-What ?

-She is in the frontier of life and death, with a snap of my fingers she will die...so what do you say ?

Sailor Pluto lowered her head.

-What do you want ?

He walked towards Sailor Pluto until he was in front of her, he caressed one of her legs.

-You know what I want..

She raised her hand to slap him but she remembered about Ami.

-Just...promise me that you will release Ami...

-You got it.

-OK..

They disappeared before Twilite could stop them.- Seconds later both were in Pluto’s chamber in the time stream, Ares started to kiss and caress her.

-P...Please...don’t hurt me...

-Don’t worry sweet...

But before she could do anything else he slapped her with all his might, the young woman falled to the floor with a line of blood coming out from her mouth.

-FOOL ! ! ! WHAT I WANT IS YOUR POWER ! ! !

Pointing his finger at her he absorbed Pluto’s powers, Sailor Pluto’s uniform disappeared and she got normal clothes, then Ares teleported her back to the park.- Twilite saw her reappear.

-What happened lady, are you o...Plut...is that you ? ?

-No...yes...I’m Meiou Setsuna...Ares took my powers...what about Ami ?

-Nothing new...look, this is what we are going to do, I’ll use my powers to rescue Ami’s soul and you will protect our bodies, you understand that ?

-What are you going to do ?

-I’ll go in my astral form to the neitherworld to save Ami’s soul...and Plut...if I’m not back in two hours...put this necklace on Ami...it’s powers will protect her soul until someone saves her...

He hugged Setsuna and then he sitted on the grass, after that he puted his staff in front of him, then he closed his eyes and the staff glowed for a moment, seconds later he found himself on a strange cave, he started to walk until he heard screams, he runned towards them, what he saw was horrible, Ami was hanging form a couple of chains, her body was covered by wounds, he runned towards her and tried to release her.

-My God, who did this Ami ?

-I did.- And if I were you I’ll leave her where she belongs.

He moved to the side to see the author of the torture, but what he saw, shocked him, it was none other than...Sailor Mercury...

-Who are you impostor ?

-Impostor ? I’m Sailor Mercury...remember... you are in the neitherworld...

Then it came to him, it was true she was Sailor Mercury and in the neitherworld Ami’s soul was being tortured by the thing that hurted her the most, he was so concentrated in that thought that he reacted when he heard Ami scream when Sailor Mercury made a cut on her leg with an ice knife.

-STOP IT ! !

-Stay out of the way.

Another cut and another scream, he couldn’t take it anymore he turned into a white tiger and jumped on the Sailor scout, but when he was about to stick his claw on her she told him something that chilled his blood.

-You hurt me...you hurt her...HAHAHA ! ! !

He moved away and returned to his human form, he knew what to do, he walked towards Ami and stood in front of her.

-Ami...the only way of stopping this is by accepting that Serena’s death wasn’t your fault.

While he was talking to her Sailor Mercury created an ice sword and started to run towards him.

-Twilite....get....off the way...

-NO ! ! Not until you accept that you weren’t responsible of Serena’s death.

-P...Please...g...get...off...the...way...

-NO ! !

Sailor Mercury was about to stick Twilite with the sword but before she could...

-OK ! ! IT WASN’T MY FAULT ! ! !

Sailor Mercury vanished and Ami falled to the floor, Twilite took her on his arms.

-T...Twilite...th...thank you...

Then a bright light appeared and Ami started to vanish.

-NO ! ! Ami don’t do this ! !

But before he could do something Ami’s soul crossed the border and entered the Paradise.- Ami only saw a light coming at her, then she found herself on a beautiful garden, she started to walk and the beauty of the flowers impressed her, she kneeled in the center and started to enjoy the chirping of the birds that happily flew around her and the flowers but suddenly she heard two voices that were too familiar to her.

-Let’s go this way mother, I have something to show you.

-Easy Serena we have a lot of time.

She turned around and she saw Serena and Queen Serenity walking a few meters away from her, she stood there motionless until Serena noticed her, she saw her friend run towards her.

-Ami ? ? Wha...what are you doing here ?

-I...I don’t know...

-Ami...are you aware of the place you are ?

-N...No...

-Ami...listen to me very carefully now...You...you...are...dead...

Ami eyes opened as wide as they possibly could.

-What ? No...I can’t be dead...

-Ami...this is the place for eternal rest...what is the last thing you remember ?

-Well...I was running away from Serenity Park and a guy with black clothes pointed his finger at me...then I was in a cave and a friend of mine had me in his arms...seconds later I was here...but...I can’t die...the others may need me..

Like if she understood what she meant Serena and Queen Serenity stood together again and a bright light engulfed her.

Meanwhile Twilite returned to his body, once there he busted in tears.

-I LOST HER ! ! ! I LOST HER ! ! !

-Twilite what happened ?

-She is dead Setsuna...SHE DIED IN FRONT OF ME ! ! !

The young woman remained silent while tears runned down her cheeks, suddenly they heard Ami cough.

-Ami ?

He runned towards her and cried while he hugged her.

-Ami...I thought you were dead...

-I...was...but somehow Serena brought me back...

-What ?

-I saw her and Queen Serenity...we were in a beautiful garden...

-I see...but thank God you’re back with us..

Moments later Ami was told about the events that took place earlier that night.

-We have to get Ares.

-How do you plan to do that ? You’re powerless...

-With this...

She handled him a key like the one Renee had.

-A time key ?

-Yeah...it’s our last resource...you have to go back in time and help Sailor Moon and the others...once they’re back we can start thinking about Ares.

Ami took the book Pluto throwed to her and looked for the date of the fight between Xena and her friends.

-OK, we have to go back to the year 1500 b.c.

-I’ll stay here.

-OK...Ami let’s go.

Ami stood up in front of Twilite, then both called for the power of the time key and seconds later both disappeared.- Setsuna stood there suddenly a voice made her react.

-So...you still found a way to help your friends huh ?

-DISCORD ! !

For any answer the black haired woman fired a lighting blast at her making her body flew through the air to finally hit a tree.

-Unfortunately I can’t allow you to do that again...are you ready to die my dear ?
