The Fifth Witch
Part 2-Conclusion
By Myrna-chan
Pucherol pulled the trigger, intending to extract Sailor Mars' heart crystal when . . .
"World Shaking!" A golden light planet hit its target dead on. Pucherol screamed in pain and
dropped the gun. It cracked, letting a small bit of the purple juice seep out. Pucherol dove down to grab
the gun when she was interrupted by Pluto whispering her attack, "Dead Scream."
The magenta planet hit the gun, and it exploded into tiny shards of glass. The pieces of glass hit
the sunlight, one by one, and Pucherol hid her eyes, then squinted at the puddle of daimon juice,
knowing what had happened to her weapon, but not quite believing it.
The remaining inners did not notice what was happening, as they were preoccupied with the
daimon and they tried in vain to revive Sailor Jupiter, who was hunched over, lifeless, while a horrified
Mercury, who was still tied up, looked at her friend in silence. With a quick "Deep Submerge!" the teal
planet destroyed the daimon, freeing Sailor Jupiter and Sailor Mercury. Sailor Venus awkwardly caught
Jupiter, but groaned as she strained to hold the tall, and therefore heavy girl.
Sailor Moon cried hysterically, screaming, "Mako-chan! MAKO-CHAN! COME ON! WAKE
UP!" Sailor Mars put a hand on Sailor Moon's shoulder, but the blonde girl jerked it away. She bent
over crying, blaming herself for the loss of her friend. Sailor Moon rubbed Sailor Jupiter's pale cheeks
with her thumbs, but nothing came of it. Sailor Moon made one final cry in agony and clung to Sailor
Jupiter, refusing to believe she was dead. She continued to sob softly, as Venus, Mars, and Mercury
looked at Pucherol with utter hate. They walked toward the witch slowly.
The three Outers jumped down from their spot, a ledge on a building, and walked toward
Pucherol, as well. Pucherol, suddenly realizing the danger, took out her staff and pointed it at the three
Outers.
"Ribbon Buster!" The red ball of light sped at fantastic speed toward the girls. Sailor Uranus
quickly jumped out of the way, but Pluto and Neptune were not so lucky. They doubled over in pain, but
struggled to stand quickly, as Uranus ran back to them and helped them up. Neptune suddenly
remembered the battle in the church, the agony that Eudial had put her through. Then she remembered
the difference between that Eudial and this one.
Pucherol pivoted to the left and attacked the inners. "Bubble Spray Freezing!" Sailor Mercury's
ice bubbles froze the red energy ball in midair, and it fell to the ground, and quickly disappeared.
Pucherol cursed at the blue haired girl. Sailor Mars and Sailor Venus lifted up their arms in preparation
for their attacks. Pucherol realized that if she attacked again, Sailor Mercury would stop it. She pivoted
again and saw the three Outers preparing their next attacks. Her face went pale when she realized that
she was outnumbered.
"You're not Eudial," Neptune said cooly.
"You're just a poor imitation. The real Eudial was too smart to let herself get into a situation like
this. You don't even have an escape planned, do you?" Uranus sneered at Pucherol.
Pucherol blinked, realized the sandy haired woman's statement was true, and sank to her
knees. She began sobbing. The six girls were so surprised they didn't finish their attacks. They looked
at each other confusedly. "You're right! You're right! I am a failure! Just like all the other witches
before me! I just want to DIE!" She doubled over, sobbing. She stood up again, and smashed her staff.
Sailor Jupiter's heart crystal floated above the crushed red crystal. Pucherol picked up the crystal, and
threw it to Sailor Mars. "Give it to your friend! I don't care anymore." Sailor Mars quickly ran toward
Sailor Jupiter and returned the heart crystal to her. Sailor Moon stopped sobbing, and gasped as
Jupiter's colouring returned to her. The emerald-eyed girl woke up, and looked around.
"What happened to Eudial? Dammit, I'm gonna KILL HER!" Jupiter got up when she was
stopped by Sailor Moon. "Don't fight . . . you just woke up from dying!" Jupiter blinked at Sailor Moon's
statement. It took her several seconds to figure out just what she meant. She turned to Pucherol and
scowled at her.
Pucherol's eyes were blank and expressionless. "Good, now all of you can kill me. My name is
Pucherol, and I am the final witch. I'm not Eudial. I'm not even myself, anymore. I deserve to die."
"No," cried Sailor Moon. "We won't kill you. You've just been lonely and in pain, haven't you?"
Pucherol looked at Sailor Moon.
"Yes. But you don't know what real loneliness or real pain is, do you? DO YOU?!" Pucherol
began sobbing.
The three outers suddenly attacked Pucherol. Sailor Moon suddenly stood in front of Pucherol,
and took the attacks with full force. She sank to her knees. She stared at the three women. "First you
try to kill Hotaru-chan . . . are you going to kill another good person, too?"
Pucherol's eyes widened. "Why the hell did you do that?! I'm not worth it! I'm not good,
dammit!"
Sailor Uranus looked into Sailor Moon's eyes. "How can you be so blind? This woman is trying
to destroy the world! Would you rather let billions of people die rather than just one?!"
Sailor Pluto looked at Sailor Moon, too. "I must agree with Uranus. This woman wants to die,
and this is how things are meant to be."
Sailor Neptune then spoke. "I know that you want to protect this woman, but if she stays alive,
there's no telling what she is going to do. She can't be trusted. It's better this way."
"NO!" Sailor Moon got up and spread her arms to protect Pucherol. "I won't let you. Every being
on this Earth deserves to live, INCLUDING HER!"
Pucherol stepped backwards away from the blonde. The sunlight hit Pucherol's eyes for a
moment, and when she looked at Sailor Moon she saw a pure white figure, with butterfly wings. She
blinked and the figure was gone. "You're . . . you're . . . the messiah."
The Outers looked at Pucherol with disbelief. "Don't tell me you think she is the messiah, too."
"She is. She is the messiah." Pucherol got down on her knees and bowed her head to Sailor
Moon. The blonde was confused.
"What do you mean, messiah? What's a messiah? Someone tell me!"
"Someone who is not you," Sailor Uranus said coldly. She raised her arm. "World . . . "
"NO!" Sailor Moon protected Pucherol again.
The inners stepped in front of Sailor Moon. "Don't kill her. She's got a good heart. I can tell."
Sailor Venus looked at Uranus with pleading eyes. "Yes," Sailor Mercury said. "She's not evil." "Give
her another chance," Sailor Mars said softly. The sandy haired woman lowered her arms, and looked at
her two partners. They nodded, and the three girls walked away, their figures quickly disappearing into
the alleyway. The inners turned around and looked at Pucherol sympathetically.
Sailor Moon spoke gently to Pucherol. "Do you want to start anew? We can do that for you. I
can tell you're not happy with your life. You're still young. There's still time."
Pucherol stared with watery eyes at Sailor Moon. "Messiah . . . I would like that more than
anything else."
The inners looked at each other, and nodded. Sailor Moon's brooch opened, revealing the
ginzuishou. "Moon Cosmic Power!" The warm light from the Silver Crystal wrapped around Pucherol.
At first, she screamed, because she had not felt good power for a long time. Just then, memories of her
past flooded her mind. A girl with blue hair who looked just like her. A loving family. A boyfriend. How
could she have left all of this behind so long ago?
***
The five girls were laughing and joking around in the Crown Fruit Parlour when Usagi looked out the
window. "What's the matter, Usagi?" Rei asked. "That girl with the red hair . . . she looks familiar."
Walking next to the parlour was a red-haired girl with one odango and a braid on the right side of her
head. She had her arm around a blonde gentleman's arm. Her face was lit up with joy. The five girls
smiled at each other knowingly. "I think she's done well for herself," Usagi commented. The girls felt
proud of themselves, knowing that they had changed one girl's life for the better.
***
Pucherol walked arm-in-arm with her boyfriend, Keiichi. They walked by a bank when Pucherol saw
someone familiar. "Um..hold on, honey, I just want to get some money." Keiichi nodded and Pucherol
disappeared into the bank. Working as a teller was the blue haired girl from her memories. Completely
disregarding the long line, she ran up to the woman. "Cyprine. . . ? Is that you?" The blue haired
woman looked up to see her long lost twin. "P-Pucherol! Oh my God!" She ran outside of the booth and
embraced her sister. "It's been so long! Where have you been, Pucherol? Why did you leave me?"
"Never mind that. . .it's just so good to see you again!" Cyprine started to cry as she hugged her sister
again. Pucherol smiled. Thank you, Sailor Moon. No; Thank you, Messiah.

"No," cried Sailor Moon. "We won't kill you. You've just been lonely and in pain, haven't you?"
