Author's Notes: Hey peeps! Happy 4th of July to you all and enjoy yourselves this Independence Day! I also hope you enjoy my second tale in the Sailor Moon universe. Please review and tell me what you think too!
Far in the outskirts of the bustling city of Tokyo, away from the shops, boutiques, and business districts, lies an abandoned mansion towering beneath the rotted trees. Expansive as well as worn-out, the mansion gave off a very eerie and chilling aura. Sitting within the decayed trees were flocks of black crows constantly scanning the area and flying about. Had this property been in any other neighborhood, it'd have been the proverbial haunted house that all the kids feared. However, what separated this mansion from any others was that this was really haunted; and the entity residing here was just as mysterious as it was unsettling.
Pulling up into the mansion's driveway in a very sleek silver convertible was a woman with shimmering dark hair that glistened in the sunlight. Her face was supermodel-esque and her dark eyes matched that of her lengthy-hair. A beauty indeed, yet there is something very daunting about her presence. Walking inside the corroded house, the young woman stepped with pride and ego in her pace. The inside of the house looked just as cruddy as the outside with snippets of sunlight coming through the walls of the home. Still, the woman just walked and made her way into the basement, amidst the stench of mildew and must.
Dank and very dark was the basement. Crushed tables and furniture were visible yet against the walls were containers of various substances that ranged from black to blue colors. While the woman came into view, she picked up a pail of salt from the side of the stairs, ruffling up her leather skintight outfit in the process. At the very center of the basement was a shrine of sorts, adorned with a raging fire and scattered candlelight. As she moved toward the violent fire, a somewhat bizarre and scary smirk formed on her lips. Quickly she spread the salt into the fire and began to chant.
"I call upon the force of time itself! Break free from the dimensional doors! Bring forth the guardian of destruction!" The woman called out loudly as she tossed the salt while the fire intensified until it grew a pair of large violet eyes and a crown of sorts.
"Mistress Sin, I am pleased to be in your company once more." The woman said as she gave a bow as the fire-entity known as Mistress Sin acknowledged her.
"As you should be Kasumi, but I expect nothing more from one of my devout followers! I have put too much energy and time in this wide-scaled plan to have any backfires." Mistress Sin said calmly and almost disturbingly.
"Of course my queen. Your plan is coming closer and closer to fruition. Once I find the holder of the proper Life Gem, your plan will be in full effect. Then finally, you can cross the interdimensional barriers and join us in the real world." Kasumi said as another slick smirk donned her face.
"Ah yes…my dream of returning into the physical world will be the nightmare of not only this planet but this universe! My reawakening shall define the true meaning of annihilation, and there will be nothing anyone in this or any world can do to stop me!" Mistress Sin proudly yelled with a smirk of her own to boot.
"I don't doubt you for a minute Mistress Sin; however that unknown holder of that Life Gem is still out there. Without that person, we are stuck." Kasumi informed her queen.
"Do not worry yourself Kasumi. I can tell you right now that the holder of the Life Gem we need is living right here in Tokyo. Use a substantial amount of your Dark Chemicals to create a youma. Seek the teenage girl known as Tsukino Usagi, a junior at Juuban High School." Mistress Sin instructed Kasumi.
"No problem. She sounds like an easy target with that name." Kasumi said as she grabbed the vile of her Dark Chemical.
"Be wary Kasumi. This girl is a Sailor Senshi one of those annoyances. In the past she has fouled the plots of Queen Metallia, the Death Phantom and even the likes of Pharaoh 90 and Galaxia." Mistress Sin told her.
"Ha! Compared to the power that you wield and the potency of my Dark Chemicals, she will be decimated. No matter who she is." Kasumi responded back chillingly. Mistress Sin laughed.
"Good point. Now go! My destiny awaits!" Mistress Sin yelled to her. Quickly Kasumi bowed and made her exit. Going back to the outside, Kasumi got back into her car with the canister of the Dark Chemical safely placed next to her. With her mission set, she began to make the very long drive all the way toward the heart of Tokyo.
Not that far away from the abandoned mansion where Mistress Sin dwelled within, the extensive home of the former soldiers known as the Outer Senshi was near. In the backyard of the large house was a lovely swimming pool which shined in the sun's reflection. Coming from out that pool and drying herself and her skimpy bikini was the elegant Kaioh Michiru. Sitting in the face of sun on her lawn-chair, Michiru took a gaze into her most trusted instrument; her Aqua Mirror. Turning about after hearing the motor of a fast car, Michiru watched as a woman with dark hair in a convertible that'd even make Haruka envious, speed off into the distance. Just then, her Aqua Mirror began to glimmer as she watched the body of water begin to be disturbed.
'For once in a long time…the sea is raging.' Michiru said to herself as she looked in utmost disbelief.
