--Eugeal
The last thing she heard was the voice of Mimete mocking her, then the terrible noise of the car crash invaded her mind and Eudial passed out. The car fell down over some rocks under the cliff where the way to the Marine Cathedral was and the water surrounded it.
The sun went down and the Moon began to rise into the sky giving a strange appearance to the waves. The tide was rising too, and the car was likely to be submerged at about 9.00 a.m. Eudial woke up in pain: she could feel the cold salt water coming into the car and smarting her many wounds.
She couldn't move, she was too weak to teleport, and she was sure she was about to die. It was only a matter of time: she could die for bleeding, she could be drowned, or she could starve, but she was sure she would die and in a horrible way!
Eudial never felt so scared and lonely: she had always worked hard to reach her goal and now that little hag of Mimete would took her place...
For the first time in her life, Eudial hoped for the victory of Sailor Senshi. She began to tremble: it was very cold and she was sleepy. The young witch realized that she would never wake up and a silent tear went down her face.
The morning after, a blonde girl with a black cat was running down the street to the Marine Cathedral "Luna, hurry up" cried Usagi "or I'll be late at school!!"
"I wonder how you could lose your brooch!" said Luna in a reproaching tone
"Oh, Luna, don't be so bothering, yesterday I was so tired after the battle... Look! Here it is!" then, noticing the broken guardrail "Hey, someone had a car accident! Let's go and help him!"
"Usagi, wait, look better at that car..."
"It is Eudial's car! Luna, is she dead?"
"I don't think so, but she is going to be drowned."
"Even if she's an enemy, I can't let her die. Luna, help me, I'm taking her home"
"WHAT?!"
A large sweatdrop formed on Luna's head while Usagi tried to help the wounded witch.
Eudial was having a sensation of warmth "After all," she thought, "death is not so bad."
But, when she realized that her wounds were still hurting and when she sensed the touch of a gentle hand on her forehead, she realized she was still alive and that she was laying in a bed.
Eudial tried hard to open her eyes and when she saw the girl's face smiling at her from her bedside, she actually stared: "Sailor Moon!" said she in a whisper.
"Don't worry" said Usagi sweetly, "I'm not here to hurt you. Now rest for a while, we'll speak when you feel better."
Eudial closed her eyes, too weak to reply.
When she woke up again, Eudial noticed a woman (Usagi's mother) who was taking care of her wounds and feeding her.
After the woman went out, Eudial felt a little better and she started to think that she probably could survive.
She couldn't realize why Sailor Moon decided to save her, the person who tried to kill her and her friends. "Maybe she wants to torture me" she thought with a sudden shiver.
A lot of questions where rising in her mind, but she couldn't find an answer to them.
Suddenly the door opened and Usagi and Luna came in.
"I'm happy you're better now" said the girl "you seemed almost dead when we found you!"
"What do you want from me?" yelled the witch, "You have destroyed my life, why didn't you let me die? Why are you extending my sufferings?"
"Eudial, why are you so bitter? I don't want you to suffer anymore. You are alive and it's your duty to preserve your life!"
"But how could I live? I'm a witch, an evil witch, and my world has rejected me. I have no hopes for my future."
"Don't say so!" cried Usagi, as in rage, "every life is precious, even that of a witch! You said you're evil-minded, but you can change your behavior." she added in a more kind tone " Nobody taught you the importance of love, but I'm sure we could be good friends. If you stop stealing pure hearts, you can stay here in my house. Eudial, don't worry, I'll help you!"
"What...friends?" the witch's eyes filled up with tears, feeling touched for the first time in her life, "Sailor Moon, are these humans' good feelings? I've always fought against you and now you are helping me..."
"I have forgiven you, Eudial, but please, don't call me Sailor Moon, my parents don't know about my identity. Just call me Usagi!"
Eudial looked at her for a while, then she took a decision, the most important in her life, and, leaving her pride aside, she smiled: "Yes, we will be friend. Please, help me Usagi, I don't want to be wicked anymore."
"I'm home!" said Chibiusa running upstairs "Usagi, are you here?" asked standing in front of the door of Usagi's room. No answer. Chibiusa opened the door and entered the room. She was shocked: Eudial was laying in the bed and she was talking friendly with Usagi!
"What are you doing to Usagi, evil creature, are you trying to hypnotize her? I will punish you!"
Eudial and Usagi turned towards her with an astonished expression on their faces, then Eudial smiled and said her: "I have not reasons to do that: we're friends!"
A huge sweatdrop formed on the back of Chibiusa's head "I think there's something wrong... Probably I'm in a parallel dimension...."
After half an hour of explanations, Chibiusa could understand the situation. She seemed very happy: "I'm sure that you will like living as a normal human girl. I want to be your friend, too!"
"I won't like humans' life" answered Eudial "I already like it!"
Several days are passed and now Eudial was perfectly healed. Usagi gave her a water green and pink dress and she was taking her to meet the Sailor Senshi for the first time after she turned good. Eudial looked at her reflected image into the mirror. She thought that the dress did not fit to her temper: it was full of ribbons and laces. She turned good, but she was always a witch and no one of the witches she knew would ever wear a dress like that!
"Usagi, are you sure that this dress looks nice on me? I think..."
"Oh, stop it, Eudial! You already repeated this a million times! You are perfect, every boy would dream to go out with you! Now, let's go, we're late and Rei will be mad at me!"
"Oh yes, maybe every humanboy would like me..." the witch said ironically to herself before following Usagi.
The four girls were shocked when they saw Eudial standing between Usagi and Chibiusa. No one spoke.
The witch averted her eyes from the girls and said in a sad tone of voice: "Usagi, I'm going home. It's better for us all... don't worry, I didn't expected a different reaction from your friends. I deserved it..." Then she turned and moved towards the door.
Rei saw in a glance the twinkling of tears in Eudial's eyes and could feel the deep sorrow of the witch. She understood that Eudial wouldn't ever be an enemy again and she gently touched the witch's arm: "Wait. You surprised us all, but I'm happy you decided to change your life. Now come inside, Makoto made a lot of good biscuits."
Huge sweatdrops formed on other's girls head, then they started to talk all together: "Yes, come inside" Said Ami "I'm sure you can teach me a lot of things about science on your planet!"
Minako interrupted her: "Oh, stop it, Ami! We're not here for studying! Eudial, I will take you to the videogame center, later. I'm sure you will like it!"
"Come on, girls, don't be so intrusive!" said Makoto "We will be Eudial's friends and we'll have a lot of time to do all these things. Now let's go inside and have a lot of biscuits!"
Eudial smiled between tears: "Thank you girls. My new life starts here."
Some days are passed and Eudial now was a good friends of Sailor Senshi. She used to spend the morning at home helping Usagi's mother and the evenings at Rei's temple helping the girls with their homework and chatting with them.
She was happy and she never regretted her decision of leaving Death Buster. But one day she woke up in pain: she felt a terrible headache and she couldn't breathe well. She thought she was about to die, but slowly pangs started to decrease and ceased completely leaving the witch panting and very weak. However Eudial decided that she had to be examined by a doctor without telling anything to Usagi and Chibiusa. Maybe she was still feeling the effects of her old wounds and she didn't want to worry them.
It was Sunday morning and the two girls were still sleeping. Eudial resolved that she'd call the doctor the day after and she would go back to bed for a while, hoping of recovering her energies. She fell asleep, but there was a strange voice in her dreams which was repeating always the same words: "Join your mates. Remember your past. Wake up."
"Wake up! Eudial, we're late! Wake up!"
Eudial opened her eyes: Chibiusa was shaking her up and she seemed upset.
"What's up, Chibiusa? I was sleeping."
"Oh! Did you forgot? You promised me that you would accompany me to the park. I have to meet my friends and we are late!"
"I'm sorry Chibiusa..."
"Eudial, are you feeling well? You are so pale..."
"Don't worry, I'm very well. Wait for me, I'll be ready in five minutes!
"Oh! It seems they are all gone away. We arrived too late!"
"I'm sorry, it is my fault." said Eudial. She felt very weak, but she didn't want Chibiusa to notice her sickliness.
"Don't worry. I'm sure my friend are somewhere near this place. The park is not very large, let's search them!"
Suddenly Eudial felt a strange sensation: why the park was so silent? And why nobody was there? It seemed like a death place...
"Eudial! What are you waiting for? Today you are very strange!"
Chibiusa started to run towards some trees, when Eudial noticed something moving behind them.
"Chibiusa! Wait!"
A demon came out and grabbed the little girl. Eudial used her power against the monster, but her attacks were reflected. As soon as the demon started to suck Chibiusa's energy, Eudial fell to the ground in pain: she could feel the voice repeating: "Wake up!" and a strange power which was painfully growing up in her.
She screamed and a symbol flashed on her forehead: a circle at the center of a radiate ring, the symbol of the eclipsed Sun! A scepter with the same symbol on it appeared in front of her and when Eudial grabbed it, all the pain vanished and she heard some words in her mind. She knew that they were memories from another life and she yelled: "Black power, make up!"
Immediately lots of little stars covered her body and a bright light spread all around.
The demon turned towards the light, trying to see who had that great power and was shocked when she saw a Sailor Senshi emerging from the light. She was dressed in a white and violet outfit with pink ribbons and a black star on her tiara.
Chibiusa was shocked, too: "Eudial!" she yelled.
"I'm the Black Sailor" said the witch "I'm the warrior of darkness and the mistress of eclipses. In the name of the Moon shadow, I'll punish you!"
A very large sweatdrop formed on Chibiusa's head: "She's a witch, how can she be a Sailor, too?"
Eudial (now the Black Sailor) shouted: "Shadow's cones attack!" and two large dark cones formed at the top of her hands to left towards the monster, rotating at high speed. The monster was blocked and totally burnt when she was hit by Eudial's new powers, and only a large burning on the ground remained as a witness of the battle.
