Chapter 9

The End is the Beginning

Beryl found herself supercharged, with more power than ever before. She was going to enjoy watching the Sailor Scouts die. But as it happened, that opportunity never arose. The energy flowing through her was more than her body could withstand. And just as it seemed that the Scouts were done for, Beryl stopped. She felt a choking, clogging sensation all throughout her. Then, she felt the energy leaking out her, leaving her bone dry. As if for effect, she glowed a brilliant white, then exploded in a cloud of dust.

That was all the fabric of the negaverse could withstand. The sudden release of energy seemed to poke a hole straight through it. And things began flying back to where they belonged. The people of the negaverse, however, had nowhere to go. They wouldn't survive the events.

Sakura, Maelin and Li went back to their homes in Reedington. The Sailor Scouts and Darien returned to "normal" as well. As if by effect of the Slip-Gate's being dispelled, everyone had forgotten that it had ever occurred. All the Scouts could remember was that they had somehow defeated Beryl. And whenever they saw a Cherry Blossom they felt a De-ja-vou feeling, as did Sakura when she saw a full moon. But while in dreams, both could remember a tale that involved them, and what was called a Slip-Gate.

THE END

I certainly hope that you enjoyed my first [revised] action fic.

If you like, I can give it a different ending.

R&R and let me know!
