"Hmm...well so much for her," the Flower said looking at

her view screen of the control room.

"Sailor Moon," Jupiter said worriedly.

"You can't give up!" Mercury shouted.

"She can't hear you," the flower said.

I hear you Mercury. Sailor Moon thought sensing her

friends concern somehow. I'm coming.

The creatures swung there arms at her. She swung her sword and

cut them away, one nicked her cheek. She grimaced. But the

majority of the aliens didn't have their arms anymore. The few that

did attacked. Sailor Moons swung her sword and cut the arms as

well. Another attack nicked her in the stomach. She practically

ripped her tiara off her head.

"Moon Tiara Magic!" she yelled as a group of the flowers

ran at her. The Tiara smashed through them and they collapsed.

Sailor Moon waited as the remaining flowers, about half of them

prepared. She held her tiara in her right hand. Her sword in her

left. Since she had very little aptitude using a sword with her right

hand, her left hand skills would be extremely low, but that didn't

mean the flowers knew that. The flowers charged.

"Moon Tiara Magic!" Sailor Moon shouted and threw her

weapon, she threw her sword into her right hand and braced

herself. Her attack mowed down all but three of the flowers. They

swept at her. She thrust forward smashing the sword into the first

flower's head she then spun cutting through the last two. They all

sank to the ground and evaporated. Sailor Moon looked at the

large door sitting in front of her.

That should be the control room. She thought and prepared

to blast through it. It slid open.

"Hmm...very good Sailor Moon," she heard a voice said.

The Kisenian Flower stood there. Her two friends were tied up at

the far wall, vines now covered the mouths, gagging them. Sailor

Moon walked inside her scepter clutched securely in her right

hand. Her tiara back on her forehead.

"Now it's just you and me," the Kisenian Flower said.

Sailor Moon abruptly swung around and chopped the alien

flower down which had been sneaking up on her, spinning back

around to face the Kisenian Flower.

"How'd you know..to do that?" the flower said in surprise.

"No evil enemy ever fights fair," Sailor Moon replied.

"Hmm...you're quite clever Sailor Moon," The flower said.

Mercury and Jupiter glanced at each other.

"I'm quite used to these kinds of battles now you know,"

Sailor Moon muttered. "I am also quite sick of them. So...I'm

going to make this one quick!"

"Are you?" the flower said and shot one of her hands at

Mercury and one at Jupiter and stopped them abruptly next to each

of their faces.

"Of course my venom is mainly used to induce

unconsciousness, but if I were to pump vast quantities of this

venom into each of their systems..well...their unconsciousness

would be a bit more permanent. Now...lay your scepter down and

surrender to me, or they die," the flower said.

"I have no choice..." Sailor Moon said and moved to lay her

scepter down on the ground. Her friends made noises trying to

keep Sailor Moon from giving in.

If I do this I may give up all of humanity to this thing. But

if not she'll kill my friends. Still she might kill them anyway...

"Stop hesitating!" The Flower shouted.

But if I surrender my friends might survive long enough for

someone else to save us. Like who? I don't know who, but if I

don't they'll die right here. Or will they? I don't know! But if I

give up...

"Oh...Darien, I'm sorry," Sailor Moon said grasping the rose

sitting in her brooch and lowering the scepter to the floor. Wait a

minute. She thought.

"Ah...reminiscing about your love. Hah...you will have no

need for love as a servant of mine," the Flower said grinning as

Sailor Moon let go of her scepter.

Before the creature could react Sailor Moon threw the rose

straight at the creature's chest.

"What!" the creature yelled and staggered back. The pain

shooting through her. She threw both of her arms at Sailor Moon,

who rolled forward to dodge the attack and grab her scepter.

"Moon Scepter Elimination!" She shouted bringing forth

her energy as the Flower attempted her next attack. The Flower's

arms were inches away from Sailor Moon before the white energy

spewed out from scepter. The Kisenian Flower was engulfed by

white light and it vanished.

The asteroid rocked and began to crumble. Sailor Moon

quickly cut her friends free.

"Why is it that anytime the leader dies there's always an

explosion?"she muttered.

"Who knows, but we've got to get out of here," Sailor

Jupiter said. "This place could go at any minute."

"But...we're over Tokyo. If it explodes it could destroy half

the city," Mercury said and limped to the control panel she had

noticed the Flower working at.

"But Mercury, you don't know how to work that thing,"

Jupiter said. "It's alien technology."

"Fortunately my power is such that I can learn quickly,"

Mercury said and rapidly began to type commands into the system.

The asteroid's propulsion system came to life.

"I have to aim this thing out to sea," Mercury said quickly

typing in more commands. Fiore, Venus, and Mars staggered onto

the bridge, all still recovering from the effects of the venom.

"Fiore, can you help Mercury steer the ship?" Sailor Moon

asked.

"I'm afraid only the flower knew how to do it," Fiore said.

"How is she doing it?"

"She's sort of a genius," Jupiter said.

"On the contrary, I am a triple A class genius with Mensa

which means that there are fewer than one thousand people on the

planet with IQ's higher than mine, but this is neither the time or

place for talking about that," Mercury said. "There, this ship is set

to go out to sea, and we'd better get out of here, because it will

explode."

"We have to use the Sailor Teleport," Jupiter said.

"Not necessary," Fiore said and suddenly the six of them

vanished.

In the park below, Tuxedo Mask and Patterson stood there

watching as the ship moved out into the bay.

"I hope they're all right," Tuxedo Mask said.

The five girls and Fiore appeared in front of them.

"There's your answer," Patterson said and walked way.

"Look who's back," Tuxedo Mask said cheerfully.

"You know us," The five girls said with grins on their faces.

Behind them the asteroid floated out over the sea and exploded. A

few chunks fell off it as it did so, but it didn't look like any major

damage was done to the city.

"Darien...I am sorry," Fiore said.

"It's all right, you couldn't help it," Darien said.

"Yes, I guess, could you please explain to me what a friend

actually is? I don't believe I exactly understand it the same way

you all do," he said and looked at Venus. She smiled.

"Sure, and hey, I'd like to hear exactly what you think it

means too," Tuxedo Mask said and the two walked off.

"Well...so ends another the chapter in the endless story of

the Sailor Scouts," Mars muttered.

"So what do we do know?" Jupiter asked.

"Go out for dinner of course," Sailor Moon said.

"We always do that after battles," Mars said. "It's just an

excuse for you to eat a lot when someone else is paying."

"It is not!" Sailor Moon shouted.

"One minute after the battle and their fighting again,"

Jupiter, Venus, and Mercury muttered.

The next day. The flowers had all disintegrated when their

leader had died, but the damage that had been caused was still

apparent. Still, things have gone back to normal for

everyone...almost.

Principal Oksua's eyes were wide open in a stare. He was

looking at Crossroads Junior High, complete with a large piece of

asteroid sitting where half of the school had been.

"My life is a joke. You couldn't write my life to more

pathetic," he muttered.

"Hey, what happened to the school?" Melvin asked walking

up. Oksua turned and began to strangle him.

Elsewhere.

"They did it," Setsuna Meio.

"Yeah," Maxfield Stanton said standing beside her. "I

would have liked to have been here to see it."

"We had other things to deal with," Setsuna said.

"Yes I guess so. So do you think King Metalis will ever

make a personal appearance here rather then sending just his

minions."

"It's hard to say," Setsuna said. "I wouldn't be surprised if

he did show up. Still, I would prefer to not have to deal with him

either."

Stanton nodded.

The park where Darien and Fiore had met just a day before

was still relatively intact and the two were walking along a path

through it.

"This is a wonderful planet Darien, but I decided not to stay

here in Tokyo," Fiore said.

"Why not?" Darien asked.

"I spent most of my time here searching for the perfect

flower for you. And I...didn't really get a chance to experience this

planet's true beauty. I'd like to do that."

"That's an admirable goal. Good luck," Darien said.

"Of course, and I will be back to visit. Hopefully the next

time you see me I'll still be a good guy."

"Hopefully," Darien said with a smile. "Before you go, you

should say goodbye to Mina."

"Mina?"

"Venus."

"Oh yes I should," Fiore said. "But for now farewell

Darien."

"You too Fiore," Darien said.

In another part of the park, the five girls were sitting around

a picnic table by the pond.

"Hmm...so now it's summer vacation. What do we do?"

Serena asked.

"That's a good question," Lita said.

"High school isn't that far away, I'm going to get started on

my studying," Amy said.

"You are, after all this?" the other four said in shock.

"Um...I guess even I wouldn't start today," Amy said with a

smile. Tomorrow's another day though.

"Hey here comes Fiore," Raye said. Fiore walked up.

"Greetings. Mina. May I talk to you?" Fiore asked.

"Here's your chance, ask him out," the Raye, Serena and

Lita whispered.

"Be quiet," Mina snapped and walked off with Fiore.

"So you're also Sailor Venus? Well that means I saved you

that day in England doesn't it?" Fiore asked.

"Yes, and believe me, I'm grateful," Mina said.

"I'm afraid I have to go. The world is waiting for me to

explore and I think it's best that I go. So much power concentrated

in the hands of people as immature as you is a bit troublesome," he

said with a grin. "Besides, one of your fellow teenagers

commanding a piece of heavy artillery isn't exactly normal."

Mina smiled.

"Neither is he...or any of us...really.." she said. "And thank

you for defending me those times," Mina said.

"No, thank you. For helping me to get my life back," Fiore

said. "I must get going though."

Mina smiled.

"Wait, I have a question though and it's kinda been

bothering all of us for a while," She said.

"Oh?" Fiore asked.

"You and the flower both pop in and out of places. How

come you don't do that say in a battle and surprise us by constantly

being a different place?"

"That is such an odd question," Fiore said.

"No it isn't, we've been putting up with enemies who do

that all the time," Mina said.

"Um well you see the energy needed to teleport increases as

the distance traveled does, but no matter what, it takes away energy

out of someone when they do it. So if I were to say try to teleport

behind you to attack you, I would be tired for a few seconds,

probably enough for you to notice, and that completely negates the

point of teleporting. Still for longer trips it kinda makes sense."

"Ah...do you think that's what happened for all the other

guys to?"

"No idea."

"At least we have a working theory now! Thanks!"

"Uh..you're welcome," Fiore said.

"Oh one more thing," Mina said. "This was bothering me

too. If the Flower had this big massive Asteroid, why did she just

show up in London with only few of her goons anyway?"

"As far as I can tell," Fiore said. "When she first came to

Earth she was escaping from something, and she left the asteroid

behind, either to avoid attracting attention, or perhaps avoid it

falling into the hands of whatever it was that was after her."

"Oh..."

"She didn't speak of it much," Fiore said.

"Ok, so I guess on her first trip here she decided to travel

light then," Mina said.

"Apparently. I must go Sailor Venus."

"Bye and Good luck!" Mina said happily.

"Good bye," Fiore said with a smile and headed off.

Even for stories like his, they're can be a happy ending. She

thought.

"You know we really should find the guys..we haven't seen

them since the battle," Raye said.

"Yeah, good idea," Lita said.

"You'd think they'd be looking for you," Amy said.

"I don't know about you guys, but I'm going to find Darien,

and we're going to spend time together! I've earned it!" Serena

shouted and ran off, much faster than then she usually could.

"I wonder where those guys are," Mina said.

"This is the dumbest rocket ever," Mike said.

"Yeah, the last thing we need is an experimental rocket

design, you can't even handle the basic ones," Rick said.

"Enough..this may be the change in luck I'm looking for,"

Steve said.

"I don't think I want to be anywhere near that thing," Mike

said.

"Me neither," Rick said.

"Doesn't Steve know how to build a rocket?" Greg asked

Patterson as the two stood outside the garage.

"It would seem so," Patterson replied. "But you will learn

quite quickly that nothing is as it seems with any of us."

"There they are!" Lita shouted. The four girls were walking

up the street towards the house.

"I knew we had forgotten something," Mike said.

"Where have you been?" Raye shrieked.

"Hey..I'm only your co-boyfriend..remember?" Rick

replied.

"Oh..yeah..well..that's no excuse!" Raye said.

"We just thought you girls would need some time to rest

after fighting and stuff," Steve said.

"Yeah," the other two said.

"Come on..we're going on dates now!" the three girls said

and dragged the three out of the garage and down the street. Amy

and Greg watched them go. Patterson walked over to the rocket

placed it in on the launch pad and pressed the start button. It shot

up into the air and flew gracefully.

"Hey it does work," Amy said.

Patterson nodded.

"Say..where's it going?" Greg asked.

"My roof, I have good aim," Patterson said and walked

away.

"Its just us then," Greg said.

"Yeah," Amy said.

"Uh..maybe we should go to the amusement park or

something...uh if you'd like it that is?"

"I'd love it," Amy said.

"I just hope it's still there after the battle and all," Greg

said.

Amy just nodded.

And the two walked off together.

And on a cliff overlooking the sunset, Darien and Serena

sat together watching the scene.

"Well..just another day in our lives huh?" Serena said.

"Yep," Darien said.

"So..you have any plans this summer?" Serena asked with a

grin.

"Bet I will have some very soon," Darien replied.

Serena grinned.
