Title: Truly Happy By: Cheska-chan E-Mail address: Minnashime@aol.com Web site: http://www.angelfire.com/anime2/ake Chapter 20 PG13 Author's Notes: Well here's chapter 20! Won't be long now till the ending! ^_^ Sorry about the previous chapter..it's not that long so I'll try to make it longer on this one. Last chapter I didn't really have many ideas at the time but now that I'm on winter break..I'll be able to think up more ideas kay? So I want to say thanks to my proof readers! ^_^ Arigatou! Also I want to say thank you to you dear readers for reading my fics and giving my ideas and comments! ^_^ One more thing...I DO NOT OWN Sailor Moon or Gundum Wing! They belong to their own creators! I have never been able to own them although I wish I do....then I would be rich and I would be out of school right now because of my brilliance...but no..I have to stay at school..*blegh* Oh yeah! Spelled stuff wrong..for Gundum Wing characters! ^^;; Quatre Rebabera Winner : I think that's how you spell his name I read it somewhere in Gundum Wing DVD... realised it was spelled wrong....*ack* Now then I think that's all...well on with the show! ******************** The Gundums and their pilots were now ready and were making their way toward the hospital.. "Everyone ready?" asked Quatre through the communicators. "Ready," they replied. "Alright then..let's go," said Wufie. Then all of them went off toward the hospital, on their own in different directions. ********************* "Do you think we should go and try to get into the hospital now that the monsters are gone?" asked Lita looking at the hospital. "What do you think Raye?" asked Mina. "I don't know..it looks like a pretty solid force field surrounding it. I don't think that whoever put that up wants us going inside. It depends..do you think we would be strong enough to make it in?" said Raye looking at the hospital with it's dark fortress surrounding it. The hospital was standing by itself, surrounded with ashes and dead bones. The trees and flowers around it were dying and and there was a dark force field around the hospital, making the place gloomier and sad. "Without Sailor Moon and Mercury we won't be able to launch the Sailor Teleport. Plus the outers aren't here to help either. We won't be able to get in," added Raye. The others face saddened as the thought struck them. "I hope they're okay.." said Mina in a whisper. "Isn't there another way?!" asked Lita hoping. "Afraid not..I can't find a way. Don't you think I already tried that?! Knowing that Serena and the others are inside there?! I just can't find a way around it! Nothing! It's been three months since I last saw them and the police have tried as well....we'll just have to wait.." Raye cried out, her face was full of sadness, and her hope gone. "We'll just have to wait," Mina said after Raye. The three of them looked at the hospital sadly as dawn was nearing. ******************************* Merodi, Kouhei, and Kaichou looked at Master with hatred and Master looked back as well. They stood looking across at one another ready to fight. *This is it..no turning back....no one else but us...no mistakes at all. It's either to live or die, nothing inbetween no nothing* "This is it you guys...this is what we have been waiting for..to fight against the one who has brought the evil into this world. Good luck," said Merodi not looking back at them. "Merodi..I just wanted to say.." started Kouhei. "It can wait, we'll win," assured Merodi. "Right," nodded Kouhei with a bit of confidence. "What are we going to do?" asked Kouhei, looking at Kaichou and Merodi. "Look I know this is a bit of a problem but..Master..uhmm Aster is still the one who helped in my life...but also the one who kidnapped us and served Beryl," said Kaichou a bit guilty. "So you're saying that you don't want him dead Kaichou?" asked Merodi. "...*sigh*...sorry," said Kaichou. "It's alright, if you don't want to help..." started Merodi. "No! It's not that..it's just isn't there another way?" asked Kaichou. "You mean heal his evil self?" asked Kouhei. "*sigh* I don't know...I used it a couple of times but they wanted to be healed and they were as well corrupted by someone stronger than them.." told Merodi. "Can't you try?" asked Kaichou. "Are you done yet? Or are you thinking of a death sentence or a prayer?" mocked Master. The three of them looked at Master and he smirked at them. "He doesn't look like he's been corrupted to me.." Kouhei said rolling his eyes. "Maybe he was brainwashed or something...I mean he sort of raised me up and helped me along the way! This guy..he's different..he's cold but there must be some good in him..right?" said Kaichou. "Boy Seij..you sure picked a bad time to tell this to us.." ighed Kouhei. "Well I just found out today..what was I suppose to know?!" snapped Kaichou at Kouhei. "Look you two! We don't have much time..why don't we try that spell I did way back? The one with the hurricane and that monster? Oh wait.. you guys weren't there but I think Kouhei was there right?" said Merodi looking up at Kouhei questioningly. "Hai..I remember..that was way back..you sure you remember?" asked Kouhei. "I..think so.." Merodi replied slowly trying to remember. They all nodded to each other and looked around then focused back to Master. "You sure this will work on bringing him to our side?" asked Kaichou. "Not entirely..those with the will to come back at least with the slightest interest will, as much as it's heart will want it to but if not.." started Merodi. "Then that person or monster shall perish from the memories within itself..pretty powerful but I'm not sure.." picked up Kouhei. "It might not even work against Master..he's powerful.." ended Merodi. Between the three warriors they each had doubts and thoughts of their own...not quite sure what will happen in the end as they faced Master. "Finally! I thought I was about to sleep back there waiting for the three of you to finish!" an exasperated and bored Master said. "Quit it Aster!" snapped Kaichou. "My own student...tch tch I'm quite disappointed in you.." Master said, shaking his head. "Look who's talking! Turning on us like that!" exclaimed Kaichou. "I thought we were fighting, not talking!" interrupted Merodi. "Fine by me..let's settle this," Master said, bringing up his crystal orb staff in front of him, with a glint in his eyes. *Kamikaze..I need you* *No you don't Merodi..I believe in you..you have others to help you.. you can do this* *I'll try..* *Try..Merodi try..* Merodi nodded her head..to say that she was ready and then held up her sword in front of her, her face full of determination. Kouhei held up his flute in front of him and played a long single note and it became a bow and arrow. Kaichou played a long single note as well and produced in place of his flute a long golden sword. They all stood now ready to fight... "Let's do this..." sighed Master and held up his crystal staff and it rose in the air shining of darkness. *I need the strength..the courage to fight..* "Power of darkness heed my call! Give me the power that lies within!" chanted Master. The crystal orb began to penatrate a dark black glow onto Master as he chanted and then it swirled around him. Then a low rumble of an evil laugh came out and then he faced them with his crystal orb staff in front of him. Then Merodi closed her eyes and then charged at him with a war cry. She held up her sword and flew over him as fast as she can before he found out where she was and charged at him from above and penetrated her sword to his right shoulder. When that happened she jumped back and saw what happened. Master wasn't harmed at all he just stood there and the sword didn't even lay a scratch on him after all that. Then Kouhei charged with several arrows from one arrow which magically produced several arrows from one when he strung his bow. It hit Master but it just bounced off him and some turned to fire before it even reached him. "This can't be happening...it can't.." muttered Merodi shaking her head in disbelievement. Then Kaichou and Kouhei ran toward Merodi. "Merodi we'll have to join our powers together..form the attack all together..." suggested Kaichou. "I think I know what you mean..Kouhei you start first once you string your bow and pull it back Kaichou and I will begin to charge at Master together and hit him at the same time...I'll hit from above and Kaichou.. hit from the side..aim for the chest or the stomach.." told Merodi. They all nodded and then Kouhei began to string his bow once more and pulled it back. Then Merodi and Kaichou got ready and charged for him at the same time..once they got there Merodi shot out onto the air and put her sword over her head and then swung down. Kouhei shot out 8 arrows at once and it zoomed into the air for Master. Kaichou ran with all his might and swung his sword toward Master. As all of this went on, Master began to glow a deep shade of black..the color of charcoal and once all of the weapons shot at him it just bounced everything back.. including the ones using them. Merodi got pulled back and slammed against a wall on the other side. Kaichou fell back onto the ground and Kouhei got sent toward the wall on left side of the place. Master watched them and laughed and evil sinister laugh. "Fools! You think you can hurt me with those pathetic toys of yours? Think again!" laughed Master. *groan* *if he can't get hurt with our weapons...I'll have to use something else* thought Merodi and put her sword to her side..helping her up. *there has to be another way to end this..there has to be..*thought Merodi. *flashback* "ARGHHHH!!! AHHHH!! STOP!!!"screamed Tid but no mercy came to him. Merodi however stopped as she realized that he was asking for mercy. *I am the warrior of peace..I should give him justice and a chance..right?* thought Merodi. "I am Merodi, warrior of peace and justice. Do you mean what you say?"asked Merodi, staring at Tid and putting her sword back. "Yes..I do.." answered Tid pleadingly. "If you mean what you say..say that again..." stated Merodi, holding out her flute and then playing a soft melody of harmony and peace. "I do mean what I say. I want to renew my life and be good!" told Tid. Merodi opened her eyes but continued to play. She played harsher and remembered what Tid had said and when she opened her eyes she looked at Tid square in the eyes and something happened. Tid saw the look in Merodi's eyes and was scared! He didn't mean what he said, he would always devote himself to his master, Master. Now he didn't want to know what was coming but found out anyways. As Merodi played the golden flute a bright golden light came out and surrounded Tid. It engulfed him until all you can see was the light. "AHHHH!!!" Tid screamed as the light surrounded him and when it finished all that was left was nothing. No Tid, no light, no nothing. No trace was left of Tid at all. "What happened?" asked Sailor Uranus reached the scene followed by Neptune and Mercury. "I don't understand it...what happened Merodi?" asked transformed Par. "I don't get it..what happened?" questioned Venus. Mars, Jupiter, and Tuxedo Mask along with the others looked to Merodi to explain it. Merodi looked at the place where Tid stood before and sadness filled her eyes. She didn't move or make a sound....her flute on her hands and her head bent down. Her silver hair falling across her face. ".....he begged for mercy..I could hear it..but it turned out he didn't mean it at all. Something tugged inside of me on how to heal people..of their evil if they ever wanted to be healed, but if they lied about it they have to pay the price. I suppose that's what the monster went through. Too bad..if he was healed he would have been all right.." whispered Merodi, faintly but enough to be heard by the others. *end flashback* *If I can remember how that happened..the feeling but..I can't quite remember it somehow..*thought Merodi clutching her sword. *I remember the song that it was a melodious song of harmony and peace..but the song is too faint in my head to remember the exact sound..* thought Merodi. *sigh* Then Merodi looked ahead of her and saw that Master was preparing another attack toward them. Master held out his crystal orb and muttered some spells through his mouth and a big energy ball was forming in front of his staff.. at the moment it was as big as head..and that was big alright! (put your hand in front of your face and imagine it bigger than that about half more..it's pretty big to me..*shrug* *ahem* on with the story now..*goes off*) Merodi's eyes bulged and looked around, she saw Kouhei and Kaichou beggining to stir and get up groaning in pain.. Then Merodi put her sword toward her face and did some expert sword movements with it, her eyes closed. "Sword of power, sword of light guide my spirit toward the light. Steer me not to a place of dark and let my intinct be true. The sword I hold shall seel its fate as evil lurks around this late. Banish the evil that I will face with my sword of it's own true race," chanted Merodi and then opened her eyes once more. She was glowing now and her silver hair picking up wind, was now moving around her face and body as she chanted. She was glowing of white and silver and surrounded by stars. The glow from the full moon was faint now as dawn was approaching but it seemed to glow around Merodi as she chanted. Now as Merodi opened her eyes she looked at Master who was still forming the energy blast in front of him. She was looking at him intently and then charged at him once more full of energy and determination as always. "MERODI TSUKIAKRI BLAST!!!" shouted Merodi as she seemed to disappear as she reached him and then appeared over his head and then a blast appeared as she shouted out the words. A white glow seemed to surround her and when she shouted out the words it flowed around her and into the sword. The sword then glowed and a hot white flash came out and blasted toward Master. Master looked up and then yelled but it was too late the blast came through and toward him and it hit him, hard. The blast went toward him and he was sent flying toward the wall head first. Merodi landed by then and stared at him, then saw Master get up, slowly. He looked furious and serious more than ever since they met him! Merodi stared and then held her sword in front of her, getting ready in case he sent an energy blast once more. "Is that all you got?!" Master said mockingly. "At least you got hurt..didn't you?" said Merodi. Master laughed and then began forming another attack on them. Merodi sighed and then to her surprise attacks came forward and went toward Master. "YUME KYUUI SHOWER!!"shouted Kouehi as he shot several glowing arrows toward Master. "ENKATSU SUBMERGE!!"shouted Kaichou as the glow from his sword emitted and a blast of gold surrounded Kaichou and then formed a sea of gold that splashed toward Master. The two attacks followed one another and it hit Master which made him collapse toward the ground from the surprise attacks since he obviously wasn't paying attention or taking them seriously at all. Merodi smiled at this and then it faded from her face as quickly as it came. *this isn't a game! It's very real..and our attack doesn't seem to bring much effect into play here..only a few scratches! We need something more powerful to summon here...I know that the attack I used isn't what the voice or the others meant..it must have been stronger but what is it?!* thought Merodi. Master got up once more but a bit angrier and then he roared with rage and the energy ball he was forming got to the size of his upper body! His pupils got smaller and he pulled back his staff a bit and then raised it up along with his energy ball and then wind picked up. The black wind formed around his body as he raised his staff then he put it down with force. Finally as he put down his staff Kaichou and Kouhei released their attacks once more but as they reached Master it just disappeared...or evaporated into thin air. Master released his energy ball at the two warriors with such force it knocked them out! "Ahhhh!!" yelled out Kaichou as he flew back toward the wall his head hitting the wall first. "Arghhh..." shouted Kouhei, landing along side Kaichou his head hitting the wall as well. Kouhei and Kaichou goaned and opened their eyes a bit seeing blurred images in front of them. Merodi saw this and yelled out with tears forming in her eyes. "Nooo!!!" cried Merodi running to them. She kneeled beside them with tears running down her cheeks. "Kaichou! Kouhei! Come on get up!" cried Merodi getting them to get up. "Merodi..."whispered Kouhei. "Merodi..fight him for us..you can do this.." whispered Kaichou his eyes trying to focus. "You can win Merodi..we know you can. You have the strength within you," said Kouhei his eyes slipping and blinking..trying to fight the urge to slip into unconsciousness. "No..I can't! I can't do this by myself...I need you two!" cried Merodi. "You don't need us...you can do this! We know you can!" assured Kaichou. Both of them smiled weakly up at Merodi as tears flowed down her cheeks and Merodi wiped them away with a weak smile as well. "You're right..I'll try...I'll do this..for both of you," sniffed Merodi. "We're fine..Merodi. You don't need to be here anymore.. we're fine..go.." Kouhei said his eyes drooping. Merodi held Kouhei's and Kaichou's hands feeling them slip away. She felt the urge to cry once more but tried her best not to. Finally she felt them give in and their eyes closed. Then Merodi let them go and got up..facing Master. *I'll fight them you guys..for both of you!* thought Merodi. Master was looking right at her with amusement and forming another attack directed at her. Merodi took out her flute and played a song of sadness and loss. It touched her heart and showed what she was feeling at the moment. Master listened and if you looked into his eyes it would show sympathy and hurt but it quickly vanished as it came. Merodi continued to play and Master continued to make his attack trying hard not to listen to the song. *I need something here...something that can beat this guy...but what?*thought Merodi and opened her eyes to stare at Master. The blast he was making was huge! About the size of him at least! It was black and the shape of a body! *He's going to kill me with that blast! I need to think of something quick!* a panicked Merodi thought. Quickly without thought Merodi played another song and shut her eyes hard. Her body began to glow of silver and white. Her complexion changed to the color of snow. Her hair went out of the buns and swooped to the floor making her look like a goddess. None of these changes seemed to enter her mind as she played a song of hope, peace, and harmony in a melodious song. As she continued to play she glowed brighter and her clothes changed instead of her warrior clothes it changed to something else. With her eyes closed, wind picked up around her within the glow and her long beautiful silver hair twirled around her and her clothes glowed silver and shined like the moon. The wind swirled around her faster and faster till it engulfed her in the glow. Then her clothes melted away and as the wind died down she was wearing a long and elegant dress of light silver with a white sash in the middle. Her symbol of the moon on a silver chain around her neck. Her sword gone but her golden flute still there. Her hair was still down and flowed around her making her look more beautiful and elegant. She wore silver gloves that reached up to her wrist. In the back of her dress she still had her white wings and it was open. She continued to play her song and didn't open her eyes as of yet. *I need help...I can't beat him!* thought Merodi. *Believe in yourself...remember..there are those who count on you!* said Queen Serenity. *Merodi..princess there is more to you and you have opened up to what you have needed to find. You found what you needed all along deep in your heart* told the voice. *What do you mean?* **chuckle*you looked into your heart and cared for your friends and showed bravery. Even though you knew you couldn't beat your newfound enemy you were still willing to fight..for them. With that you still tried and now you opened your heart with that. Open your heart and eyes and see what you have accomplished... princess Merodi* told the voice. Merodi opened her eyes and saw Master in front of her gaping with his eyes large. Merodi's eyes were still silver but this time instead of the usual ice cold look about them, they showed harmony, peace, and melody in there. She was still glowing silver and white. Merodi continued to play her usual tune and felt at peace with herself. *I believe in myself* thought Merodi to herself. *that's it Merodi...believe* said Kamikaze. *Kamikaze..* *Hai Merodi..you have found the true power within the golden flute..I knew you could do it* neighed Kamikaze through their link. *this power..it's so assuring and peaceful* sighed Merodi, her eyes softening. *you can control it more then..not many people can..I must leave you now..Merodi, good-luck. I must let you fight now.* told Kamikaze. *Good bye Kamikaze..* channeled Merodi. Master was in awe as he saw the transformation and felt the power that emitted from Merodi. He held the blast that was still forming and was now larger than himself. He shook his head and focused on her. *I won't let that girl beat me! I won't! I worked and planned too hard for someone as herself beat me!* thought Master angrily. ********************************** "Do you feel that? It feels as if peace is coming," told Neptune. "I feel it too. Do you think Serena won?" said Uranus. "Not yet..I still feel evil around the place," Neptune responded. "Don't worry..I'm sure she can do this," assured Mercury. "I believe in her...she can do this," agreed Uranus with a nodding Neptune. *Good-luck Sere...good-luck* thought Mercury looking out of the crystal chamber. ******************************* "I sense something.." said Raye as she looked at the hospital. "What is it?" asked Lita. "I sense strong power coming out from somewhere deep in the hospital," told Raye. "Is it Serena?" asked Mina. "No..and yes. It feels strong like Serena's but yet..it isn't. It's hard to explain," told Raye. "What?!?" asked Mina and Lita in unison with looks of confusion. "It's hard to say. Serena's power is somewhere in there but it's completely different," replied Raye. "Like in her princess form?" asked Mina. "No..something else," answered Raye. "We'll just have to wait then. Can you feel the other's power in there?" asked Lita. "No..not at all," sighed Raye. "What about an evil energy?" asked Mina. "Hai..I do. All over the place but the other power...it's powerful as well about as powerful as the evil one," told Raye. "That's good, right? That means good will win against evil!" exclaimed Mina happily. "It's good, Mina, but not that good. The evil energy is still stronger," told Raye. "Oh no.." gasped Mina. "We'll just have to hope everything will turn out for the best in the end," sighed Raye. ******************************* "Almost there," told Quatre through the communicator. "Right," answered the others. The five gundums were walking in different directions from all over Tokyo, trying not to show themselves to the people. A reason why they aren't there yet. All of them traveled from different areas, blackmailing, stealing, or hiring people in use of transportation. To be continued..... ********************************* Like I said..this would be longer and almost there to the end. Merodi is now in her stronger form and has found a secret within the golden flute that she holds. Even though she is strong like Raye said she isn't that strong. So how will Merodi beat the evil Master known as Aster? Will the Gundums ever reach the hospital to help save the people that were kidnapped? We'll just have to see what's going to happen next then! ^^ Thank you to my proof readers! ^^ They do such a great job! Oh yeah! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all of you!! Words... "MERODI TSUKIAKRI BLAST!!!" In translation that would mean... "MELODY MOONLIGHT BLAST!!!" yes..tsukiakari does mean moonlight there's also tsukikage as well but I thought tskukiakari would be better in this. "YUME KYUUI SHOWER!!" In translation... "DREAM PEACE SHOWER!" Yume does mean peace and kyuui is another word for peace the other would be tetsu. "ENKATSU SUBMERGE!!" In translation.. "HARMONY SUBMERGE!!" There are two words for that harmony. One is Enkatsu and the other Kaichou. Both mean harmony.
