SailorStar9: Well, since no one's reading this fic, I might as well end it in this chapter. Just so you guys know, I actually hated the cliffhanger in the end; now we'll never know what happened. Remember guys and girls, reviews are an author's subsistence. And now, without further ado, I present the epilogue of this fic.

P.S: Words in italics refer to mental conversations, flashbacks and thoughts.

Disclaimers: Nothing here, except the plot, is mine.

Epilogue


Well. If you were expecting some big-ass epic battle between the Bug Queen and 'Oreithya', then you would be sorely mistaken.

The moment the Sky Marshall was whisked away by the Marauders, "Oreithya' instantly went on the offense after having 'Aquarius' and 'Pieces' put up the strongest barrier spell as Rico watched the fight from outside the shield bubble.

Near the edge of the barrier, 'Mariner' focused on the fight her leader was in, the ice-elemental katana held ready to block off the Queen Bug's stinger. The water elemental had the hardest time keeping track of their movements. Every move they made was made a rapid blur from almost inhuman speed.

'Oreithya' blocked a strike from her opponent and leapt out of the way of an intended grapple. She growled and swept forward for her own attack.

Lunge... and miss…

Retreat...

Swipe... and miss…

Kick...

Block...

Parry...

Dodge...

Lunge...

Thrust... and miss…

Kick...

Swipe...

Parry...

Swipe...

Block!

The Bug Queen was growing incensed that her opponent was lasting this long against her. Neither of them had managed to land a worth blow yet.

Then it happened.

An opening in the ice wielder's defenses.

The Bug Queen took the opening and swung her stinger at the unprotected area.

"Captain!" 'Mariner' called out, tossing the tiny statuette over.

The bright light that erupted from the figurine forced the Queen Bug to stop in mid-swing, before backing off when she saw her adversary standing back up, now decked in her Divine Robe, complete with the Ferrum Polaris Sword.

In a flash, the newly revealed Winter Goddess was behind the over-sized Bug Queen and with one single thrust, embedded her blade straight through the Bug Queen's back, into her heart, the foot of forged, sharpened metal protruding from her chest.

"You lose." the Winter Goddess declared coldly as she pulled out her weapon and raised the bloodied sword. "Five Layered Circle: Frozen Tempest!" five magic circles formed above the trapped Bug Queen and a powerful ice beam shot through the magic circles, vaporizing the Bug Queen in an instant.

"Captain!" 'Mariner' ran over to her exhausted leader.

"Boss!" 'Aquarius' hurried over once she and ''Pieces' released the barrier.

"Ladies, escape first, celebrate later." Rico reminded.

"Right." 'Pieces' nodded.


SailorStar9: Now that's done, read and review.
