| Part XII-Epiphany, 3 of 3 |
| Serena's eyes met Darien's across the dimensional void. It looked like they had been caught with their pants down. Literally. But now wasn't the time to ponder this thought. It looked like Wise Man was going to kill Yuri. They had to do something. Even if it meant revealing their identities to the twins. Serena dived for her brooch. She clasped it to her naked, heaving breasts. "Moon Cosmic Power..." she said firmly. And thus, her transformation to Sailor Moon -- her epiphany -- began. She was already naked, so her clothes could not transform: but through the magick of the brooch, her uniform appeared. First as a spiral of light, and then the red and blue of her Sailor Scout uniform appeared, along with the crescent moon symbol she wore around her throat. At the same time, Darien also transformed himself, to the regal Tuxedo Mask. Her heart almost burst from her chest at the sight of him. But then, she knew, she would always love him, no matter what he wore - or didn't wear. She saw Yaoi's eyes widen when Darien transformed. Andrew was unconscious, slumped to the floor. But Yaoi knew, now. Still, there was no turning back. Lita also transformed to Jupiter. But there wasn't much time left... "Wise Man, stop it. Now," Sailor Moon commanded. At first, Wise Man took no notice. Until the rose embedded itself in the wall next to his hand. He turned, slowly. "I stand for love, and I stand for justice," said Sailor Moon, raising her fists. "I am Sailor Moon." "And I am Sailor Jupiter. And in the name of the Moon, and Jupiter, we shall punish you." "Hey!" yelped Sailor moon, "That's my line!" she said, pouting. "Then you will be the next ones whose energies shall feed the Negaforce," grunted Wise Man, fumbling with his erection. "I'll just take care of my creations first." He cackled. "They're of no use to me, anyway." "Your creations?" demanded Sailor Moon. She looked at Yaoi, who was trying to get to his feet again. She exchanged glances with Darien. So, that was it. But she felt no true evil from these two. Of course, that was Ray's specialty, not hers. And why would Wise Man want to dispose of them, if they did what he wanted them to? Tuxedo Mask spoke. "Your creations they might have been, but the love of truth and beauty is held within their hearts. We shall not let you destroy this beauty." He tossed another rose: this time, unerringly, the stem entered the crack of Wise Man's ass and embedded itself there. Wise Man yelped and tried to pull it out. Sailor Jupiter and Serena quickly pulled Yuri from Wise Man's side of the dimensional rift. Sailor Jupiter turned to the rift, and to the mirror. "Supreme Thunder Crash!" She directed lightning toward the mirror, which cracked, then shattered. The link was broken. The dimensional rift had closed. After transforming back to their naked selves (hehe), Serena and Lita brought Yuri into the bathroom. Lita ran a tepid bath to cleanse her wounds, as Serena carefully ran her hands over Yuri's body, checking for any major damage. Yuri was unconscious. She moaned and squirmed as Serena ran her hands over her body. Lita picked up Yuri and placed her into the tepid bath water. They washed the sweat and blood off Yuri. It looked like she would be all right, physically. There were just a few cuts and scratches, nothing major. But they definitely had to take care of her wounds. Serena opened her brooch. "Moon healing activation," she said firmly. A halo appeared around Yuri. It bathed her in its healing rays. Then, Serena put away the brooch and knelt by the tub again. Yuri roused in the tub. She startled for a moment, splashing, and then came to herself. She opened those beautiful eyes and looked around herself, surprised. "What...?" she asked. Serena leaned over and gave Yuri a long, lazy kiss. "Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask appeared, and took care of him. I don't think he'll bother you again," she sighed. "I just hope your brother will be okay," she added. "He was beaten pretty badly, too." Yuri flexed her fingers. It was almost as if she were testing them. Then, her face brightened. She smiled up at Serena. "I don't know what happened, but I no longer feel his influence on me. The invisible chains are gone. Thank you!" She embraced both Serena and Lita, and splashed water all over the bathroom floor. The doorbell rang. It seemed as though the pajama party was ready to begin. Only, they weren't wearing any pajamas... |
