In the theater...

[�Warhammer waits patiently, ready to unleash the last chapter, but only 
after he's had some fun with this.]

Brian: Hey, where's Atsuko?
Carter: She took some time off to be with her daughter.

[WH: *BOING*? Hey, I thought that� wait a minute� she's an android� she 
can't procreate� can she?]

Martins: So I'm filling in.

[WH: Hi Julia.]

Brian: Okay...roll it!

[Warhammer hops out.]
WH: When all hope is gone, you do the only thing you can do. DESPAIR!
BWA HA HA HA HA!

Brian: <sweatdrop> Uh...Warhammer....
Carter: Get help.

[WH: *sigh* I am, the bacta treatments are helping� I think.]

Everything in this world was not supposed to happen. Saturn was not
supposed to have been crushed by that building, Neptune was not 
supposed to die in the acid spray, and Jupiter was not supposed to 
needlessly sacrifice herself against that Teknoman. 

    Carter: <scarcasm on> Gee, you figured that out now?

[WH: Hey! Give her a break, she just got here.]

Now, even people that are supposed to be my allies look upon me with
contempt. As if it would come as any surprise to anyone after the way 
I treated them. Turnabout is fair play, is it not? When I try and ask 
what's going on and what they mean, all I receive is a glare and some 
snide remark. Still, it comes as of no surprise.

    Martins: Not bad.
    Carter: Yeah, this was nicely done.

[WH: Thanks.]
 

power of my own to guide where I was going, I could only watched as I 
saw visions. They were of Serena and the other Inner Scouts. 

   Carter: This does not bode well.

[WH: {smiling} Has anything of this nature bode well?]

immobilizing my arms. I tried to struggle, but my captor's voice 
shocked me into stillness.

    Martins: Oh crap....

[WH: Hehe, incoming dark section!]

"Don't worry Susan. We won't hurt youa too much." Growled Serena. I
looked ahead to see the other inner scouts dressed in full plate 
armor, grinning like a pack of hungry wolves before a helpless lamb. 

[WH: You know, I'm surprised you didn't say anything about this.]
 

chest, breaking a rib here and there. Raye then stepped aside to allow 
a much more vicious looking Jupiter to knee me in the stomach, 
knocking out all my breath. 

    All three: <wince> Jeez....

[WH: Now that I think about it� maybe I was too harsh on her� Naa.]
 

bones were broken. I could feel the internal bleeding start. The pain 
soon became too great as I felt my will to live leave me. 

    Brian: Ouch.

[WH: Be glad you ain't in her shoes.]

I know that I vowed never to use the Dark Dome Close, but now I have 
no choice. I can only hope that the powers that be will forgive me for
breaking that promise. 

    
    Brian: Wait a sec...doesn't she still have the Dead Scream?
    Carter: I think that's with the staff.
    
[{R Pluto comes out of nowhere}
R Pluto: Your assumption is correct. The Dead Scream is a weapon that I 
can only use with the Time Staff.
WH: AHH! Don't do that!
R. Pluto: {smiles innocently} Why, if I didn't know better, you didn't 
like that.]

Teknoman Rapier wondered exactly how these six women had the power to
rival that of those renegade teknomen that wandered the Earth. 

     Brian: Here, ask these fellows. <Holds out a list of enemies 
defeated by the Sailors.  It's a LONG list.>

[{Both WH and R. Pluto sweatdrop nervously.}]

control and ordered the attack to begin. No one ever interrupted his
hunt and these women would pay dearly for their interference. 

   Carter: Now someone's in for it.
   
[WH: You got that right.]

"Lifea what is ita just a mere spark in the great light that is time
itself anda" her weak and dulled filibuster was interrupted as Luna's
hand slapped its way across her cheek. Oddly enough, it brought her 
out of the daze to see Luna's scared and angered face.

   Carter: ^_^;;; Is Alex channeling Kuno all of a sudden?
     
[R. Pluto: You do realize that doing this is making her out of 
character.
WH: Hey, lay off! I was assuming that she was a little more emotion 
driven that she really was� I think.]

you were too stubborn to do anything? Do you think you could just 
abandon your duty to Serena and the others just to feed your selfish 
interests?"

     <Carter and Martins are holding on to each other>
     C&M: <sniff, sniff>

[R. Pluto hands them both a hankie.]

rubble that piled itself over it. With her weapon in hand, she felt 
the weapon's reluctance to be her weapon, on account that darkness in 
her heart did not agree with the sword's will.

    Brian: So the sword's a 'pure' weapon?

[R. Pluto: Correction. 'was' a pure weapon.]

Gritting her teeth, Alex exerted her will over the sword's and soon
enough, the sword was filled with both holy and evil power. It was her
weapon once more. With that complete, she dashed out the door and into
the fray where the other Soldiers were in the middle of combat.

   Brian: Ladies and gentlemen (and I mean that joke in all 
sincereity)... she's back!

[WH: {Opens up canned applause}]

   Carter: And we'll be right back! 
   Brian: <grumbling> Stupid WinPMail program.....

[WH & R. Pluto: *Boing*?]

not to be more than ten feet of each other, for any kind of 
inattention could lead to dire consequences. 

   Carter: I can't imagine what. <shifty look>
   Martins: <sweatdrop>

[WH: Hate to break yer heart sweetie, but that's Chris Davies' 
department.]

"MOON CRESCANT BLADE!" Serena screamed as more of her primary weapon
sailed into and through five spidercrabs. Destroying them all. Looking
down, she saw the under-powered and almost overwhelmed Sailor Pluto.

   Brian: Err...that would be 'Crescent'

[WH: ARG!! Typo! I shall smite thee!!{Smites typo with a mighty 'delete' 
and replaces the 'a' with an 'e'.}]

Pluto, although grateful to Moon that she had saved her, felt that
assurance vanish as she saw Serena's silver glow dash at her. Instead 
of ending her life then and there, she felt Serena catch her in her 
right arm and leave the battle field with a few of the spider crabs in
pursuit. They were lost as both of them hid within one of the few
standing buildings. 

    Brian: Heh, I am not gonna do an "drawer check" joke here.
    Carter: <lowering emitter armband> Good decision.
    
[WH: I'm lost� I had NO clue what that meant.]

The hardness and pure ice in Serena's gaze stripped Susan of her 
confidence as she replied, "Becausea as Sailor Scouts, we are supposed
to be as devoted to the light as we can. Not daring to touch the
darkness."

    Carter: <nodding> Just like in the Star Wars movies.
    Martins: And of course, we know what happened there.
   
[R. Pluto: Can we say, Killer in a Can?
WH: Meaning Vader?
R. Pluto: Yes.
WH: Wow, you actually made a joke� a bad one per say but a joke none the 
*WHACK*]

"That's not how reality works, you can't have good without evil and 
the reason why we've grown strong is that we met the evil within us 
all and we conquered it."

    Carter: That makes sense.

[WH: No it doesn't!
R. Pluto: How so?
WH: It doesn't make any money.
R. Pluto: What do you� <groans>]

To the surprise of Moon, she began to hear sobbing, and it was coming

>from Susan. Moon turned around and knelt in front of the crying 

Sailor, wondering what was wrong.

    All: <facefault>

[WH: I should rewrite this one.]

"Ita it's just thata I have no control over anything any more! I've 
lost the ability to travel through time, I can not put up a fight 
anymorea I was so used to being omniscient and nowa I know nothing. 
And I am of no use to anyone anymorea"

 
    Carter: Wow.
    Martins: Never thought I'd see the day this happened.

[{R. Pluto glares at WH.}]

    <SNIP the mind meld>
    Brian: I am NOT gonna do a mind meld joke.
    Carter: Thank you.

[WH: You're welcome� oh wait�]
   

Soon enough, a woman, wearing black and shade-purple full plate armor
stepped forth. The whirlwind dissipated into nothing and the woman
turned to Serena. There was now confidence, understanding, and
determination behind her eyes as she noticed Serena, and knelt. 

    Brian: She's back!!

[R. Pluto: {Smiling} And better than ever mind you.]

Before Serena could even summon her blades, Pluto stepped in front of
her and extended an arm, yelling, "PLUTO CHRONOS DISRUPTOR!" The very
second her weapon was announced, several spheres of dark purple energy
appeared around the giant and shot through it. Only to be replaced by
more, which followed suit, until the crab was no more. 

   All three: Ouch

[R. Pluto: You have yet to see the full extent of my new power. 
WH: {smiling} Wait till you see the Time Trap, Shadow Wave, and Black 
Nova.
R. Pluto: *bap* Don't give away anything.]

"URANUS SEISMIC SPIRE!" From no where, several spires of rock erupted
form the ground and pierced every last crab that was attempting to 
take Venus' life. Mina looked to her right to see Alex, stabbing the 
Star Sword into the ground. She looked a little worse for wear, but 
more than sane enough to kill the crabs that killed the only one who 
meant anything to her. 

       Carter: If anything happened to Julia, I would do the same.
       Martins: As would I if anything happened to you.
       <Brian passes out from the intense and sudden sugar shock
      
[{R. Pluto remains calm while WH struggles to stay awake.}]

Fifteen minutes later, all the spider crabs had been slashed, pierced,
flamb_ed, frozen, exploded, imploded, and just plain killed. 

 
    Carter: You forgot barbequed.  :-)

[R. Pluto: And kabobed, sliced, diced�
WH: ALRIGHT ALREADY!! ]

Several gashes appeared on Serena's left arm as she saw the reason for
their being there. With no words being needed, the six Soldiers
attackeda and soon regretted it. 

  
    Brian: Ouch.

[WH: Guess she's getting the point. *PUACK*]

Every time one would try to attack, Rapier would simply vanish into a
blur of lines and find a brand new injury somewhere on their bodies.
Even super-teaming him proved to be fruitless. 

   
      Carter: This is one tough opponent.
      Martins: When did he get that ability?
      Brian: Back in "Shara's Last Gift", right, WH?
   
[WH: That is correct. And he's gotten better with time.]

It would have easily lanced her through, had not a spear from nowhere
forced it into the ground. Raye looked to her right to see another
teknoman. His yellow-topaz, ruby, and sapphire colored armor gleaming 
in the light. Rapier was too confused at seeing this new comer that 
the stranger whacked him away, grabbed Reye, and flew off. 

   All: Hi Chad.
   Carter: Shouldn't that be "Raye"?

[WH: ARG! Another typo!]

He nodded and landed about a block or two from where Rapier was. For
the time being, they were temporarily safe.

    Martins: Heh, temporarily, indeed.

[{R. Mars comes out of nowhere and gets in Martins' face, her Demon 
Torch ready in her hand and hungry to eat.}
R. Mars: And just with is THAT supposed to mean?]

   <SNIP Luna's idea, Chad's help, and Luna's chant>
    All three: <about the Chad/Raye scene> Awwwwwwww.......

[WE: Be prepared for future fics concerning these two.]

Chad retorted with as much bravery as he could put into this lie,
"Forget them, it's you I wanna fight. Why waste time with them when 
you can get beaten by me?" 

    Brian: Uh boy.  
    Carter: And the Chad effect goes into full swing.
    Martins: Huh?
    Brian: See any SM episode with Chad in it. :-) 

[WH: Well, this time he has REAL reason to act this way.]

Rapier smirked beneath his helmet and drew his weapon. "So, you too
have a death wish? Very well then, boy, I'll make sure it's granted,
after I've had some fun with you!" With that, he vanished into the 
same blur that had eluded his previous opponents.

     Carter: Uh, Chad?  I suggest dodging.

[R. Pluto: He just got here and is not as experienced with Rapier's 
power is as the rest of them are.]

Chad drew his weapon and prepared to attack, but got no further as
Rapier's shoulder collided with his back and forced him into the next
building. 

    All: <wince>
   
[WH: {smiling} As always, there's bound to be some collateral damage.]

She felt like she was losing consciousness, until a new one came out 

of

nowhere and took over.

        Carter: This does not bode well.

[WH: Read earlier part of the fic for a proper response.]  

hard. Her facial features were more cat-like, but the voice that she
spoke with was not. The entire world seemed to tremble slightly at the
mere whisper of this god-like being. 

        Carter: Why does the name "Seraphim" come to mind?
        Martins: Why I have no idea. :-)
        Brian: Well...except for the cat features.

[WH: Hehehe ^_^]

"So, you're the one that has decided to pit your strength against 

mine.

I shall be more than willing to oblige." With no warning, the female 
in the golden haze charged again. The only difference was that this 
time, Rapier had time to dodge a fist that would have easily taken off 
his head. 

      Carter: I believe Rapier's a little outclassed.
       B&M: A *little*?

[R. Pluto: I believe the saying goes 'the tables have turned'.]
     

That was when she spoke again. "You knowa I should thank you. No one
has EVER hurt me like you have." She took a second to glance at her
shoulders. "Pain is a sensation I never felt before. And it feels
wonderful!" She brought back her right fist, threw it forward, and
pierced Rapier's left shoulder.

   All three: <sweatdrop>

[WH: I agree and I made this character.]

She smiled darkly and whispered, "I intend to repay you for showing me
pain." With that, she injected a massive amount of power into the
teknoman's body. The resulting explosion threw Rapier through five
buildings, and relieved him of the arm that had once been on the left
side of his body. 

   All: Ouch!
   Carter: Even though he is a slimeball, you had to feel that.
    
[WH: Hmm, that's odd, I feel fine.]

In the air, the woman's wings had tripled in number. Then, she spread
her arms and wings to their fullest and a sphere of light began to
develop about her. "Now, behold your reward. My name and a mere 
sampling of my power!" The sphere about her suddenly shrunk to be 
carried into her hands, and forcing the sphere down, she screamed,

"SOLAR COMET STRIKE!" 

    All: 0_0!!!
    Carter: THAT'S a mere sampling?? <sweatdrop>

[R. Pluto: I do admit, that this being certainly has some power behind 
her hand and is capable of backing up ANY boast that she gives.]

have neither gained nor lost any ground as their struggle for 
dominance continued. 

    Carter: Evil vs. greater evil.  I like that.
    Brian: <sweatdrop> I think we're reading a little much into this.

[WH: Hehe.]

Rapier would not yield to this woman, and he would have continued had
he not felt the spear that pierced his leg. He took a brief glance at
his assailant and saw Spear flying away. And that was his final 
mistake.

    Martins: <G> Do tell.

[WH: Ok� ]

Seeing his attention elsewhere, Solar forced her weapon through 
Rapier's. The teknoman screamed with horror as an explosion that would
have made an A-bomb seem small, engulfed him completely. Within 
seconds, his shadow was lost in the sphere of light. 

    Brian: To quote Ivanova: "Boom.  Big Boom."

[R. Pluto: My words exactly.]

She sighed. <There is nothing here for me. Not only that, the will of
my children supercedes my own. My time has long since past, and I 
return to my slumber.> She not only said that to herself, but to the 
ten smaller minds that gave her power. 

  
     Brian: So...she's not gonna be back?

[WH: HMPH! I said no such thing.]

     Carter: I think this is a case of "wasted plot point."

[WH: {Indignant} Oh, would you rather I have Solar continue to rampage, 
therefore continuing this nightmare of a fic?
R. Pluto: Calm down.]

With help from Chad, they Soldiers awakened. Save for Serena. It took 
a little extra trying on their part to wake her. Even after she 
stirred, it seemed like she wasn't going to stay that way for long as 
she asked,

    Carter: Heh, same old Serena.

[R. Pluto: {smiling} Such a dear�]

"Did we beat him?"

 >Mina nodded to her and whispered back, "Yeah, we won."

Serena smiled and replied before going back to sleep. "Hooray for our
side."

End 

  
   All:Whew!!
   Carter: Glad that's over!
   Brian: Err....we still have the author's notes to go through.
   C&M: Arrrrggghhhhh!!!!!!

[{WH goes through the half-eyed annoyed look.}]

End of Part 7
[Warhammer comes out again]
      WH: I take back everything I said before. THIS is the most 

draining 

chapter I've written. 

      At first I wasn't going to write a chapter from Pluto's 

perspective, 

but careful though made me change my mind. 
      
      I always wondered that there was always some hidden resentment 

in the 

inners for Pluto, being so mysterious and all. That was the reason for 
Pluto's beating, only taken to the extreme. Bear in mind I have bear 

no 

malice against the senshi/scouts. 

    Brian: Oh, of course not, that's why you got trashed before 
Animania.  :-) 

[WH: Oww, don't remind me.]

      Next, I know that with the power boost, things would have been a 

bit 

easier, but I didn't boost them to the point where they're all 

powerful. 

I need to draw the line somewhere. 

    Carter: That makes sense.

[WH: No it does not *WHACK*
R. Pluto: You said that once.]
 

      Ok, I'll admit that I showed a bit of a preference towards Luna, 

but 

what can I do. She's an awesome cat.

     Brian: Eh, I won't argue the point.
 
[WH: ^_^]

      Finally; there was no room at all for Rapier in other fics, so I 

just 

killed him with style. 

    Martins: Heh, Large amounts of style.

[WH: More the merrier, that's what I say.]

      Next, comes the Epilogue. The closure of this whole rat race. 

The dead 

are buried, the wounded healed, and the rebuilding begins. Watch for 

it!

[Warhammer returns to the light.]

   All: <blinks>
   Carter: How the heck is he gonna do that?
    Martins: Who knows.

[WH: I do.
R. Pluto: As do I.]

   Brian: Anyway, nice job as always, Warhammer.

[WH: Thanks. :)]

   Carter: Okay, me and Julia are going on a date now, see ya.
   Brian: And I have to do homework.

[WH: Now, if you excuse me, I gotta go work on the Seraphim rewrite and 
it's aftermath, a Valentine's Day fic, my article for Animerica, and the 
Tenchi fic and Tenchi/Tekno fic. 
R. Pluto: In the meantime, I am searching for a man to be with me with 
me in WH's future.]
