"You should listen to what Saffire has to say Diamond." Stated Tuxedo Mask after adverting Black Lady’s attack. I thought for that moment about the look of sincerity on Saffire’s eyes as he spoke to me of Wiseman’s treachery. I will hear him speak.
"Wiseman…" was all my brother had to say before an energy blast flew past me. In a scream of intense pain Saffire fell to the ground as the blast tore through his body.
I spin around as fast as I could to find Wiseman floating behind me. "I do not need permission to kill traitors." He says.
I look back at Saffire just as he began to get back up onto his knees. But before he could say anything else Wiseman shot another energy blast at him. "DIE!"
"Saffire!" I yell in horror as I watch my brother die in extreme pain. It was a most horrid sight, one that would be implanted in my memory for all eternity.
Wiseman took the key card that Saffire had stolen and then said before he and Black Lady vanished, "Foolish Saffire, letting himself be deceived by the Sailor Scouts."
I look over at the Sailor Scouts and Tuxedo Mask as they ran toward Saffire. They too were in shock at the death of my brother. Had my brother truly become friends with them?
I then looked at Saffire, his eyes shut, lying on the ground dead. His bandages that covered his forehead fell off as I stared. His Black Moon insignia had vanished! He was human?
I remembered back to a time when we both lived happily together before our exile to Nemesis. He would look up to me, his big brother, his big blue eyes wide as can be. He was a carefree child. That same look I remember from that day on Nemesis when we found that flower. He looked up at me with hope in his eyes of peace with the Moon Kingdom. I was thinking of revenge the whole time.
Had my total devotion to our revenge for our exile brought this upon him? Had I changed his ways, only for him to return to the earth and find a peace with those I sought to destroy? Was it my fault for not protecting him like I should have? Am I to blame?
"No Saffire, don’t die!" Sailor Moon cries out, "Please, remember Prisma."
Sailor Moon was wishing for Saffire to live. He HAD found peace with them. Perhaps my idea of revenge was all wrong. Perhaps Saffire was right.
The Sailor Scouts looked up at me as I knelt down and picked my brother up into my arms. "Diamond." Sailor Moon said as I turned and began to walk away.
I looked down at my brother’s face one last time. His handsome young look was gone, in its place was a worn down and bruised one. His Black Moon was gone.
What person could have killed such an innocent like Saffire? What wrong had he done, but to want peace between us and them? Only someone truly evil could have done such a thing.
A hatred brewed inside me, one that kept on building the more I thought of Saffire’s death and his murderer, Wiseman. Wiseman had killed Saffire, and now he will pay.
Saffire, I will avenge your death. Wiseman will NOT get away with what he has done to you. Even if you were a traitor, he had no right to kill my brother. He had no right to kill you!
"WISEMAN!" I said in all my hatred as I disappeared from the Sailor Scout’s sight.
"…The truth is, I’ve always loved you." I said with a failing breath as I tried to place my hand upon Sailor Moon’s face. A tear ran down her cheek as she held tight to my hand, placing it on her smooth skin.
"A tear for me?" I said before I felt my life fading away. I lost control of my arm and it fell to my side out of Sailor Moon’s grasp.
"Diamond." Sailor Moon cried out with tears in her eyes.
Perhaps the great beings of the universe have granted me this one last chance to finish something I had started. My eyes close and I am left with one last thought.
