PROLOGUE
The shadows were thick. Not even the light of day broke into the depths of this abyss as a creature ran as fast as it's limbs would permit through the dark halls. It's feet stopped at a pair of large doors, the creature breathing heavily. It knocked upon the great doors with a single, shaking clawed hand. The doors swung open widely in response, a loud creaking resonating through the darkness. The creature stepped through slowly and fearfully. The claws upon it's feet clacked against the cold hard stone as it walked across the large room to where a dark figure sat, waiting. The creature knelt down before the figure, it's head bowed as it fought to conceal it's great fear. Fear of the one who held it's life in his hand. Fear of the one who could send it to oblivion in a single instant.
Fear of it's master.
"Speak." A deep, smooth voice cut through the dark silence like a blade, causing the creature's fear to sting harder at it's chest. It swallowed hard before it answered in it's own ragged, inhuman voice. "All is going well, Master. There is no suspicion about us. The humans are completely clueless."
"And the senshi? The Queen?"
"If they have any suspicion, they have not acted upon it, Sire. But it is unlikely they will discover us. We have gone to great lengths to cover our tracks."
The dark figure gave a growl of disapproval and the creature cringed in fear.
"Do not go assuming things, slave." His tone was deadly. "I have dealt with the Sailor Senshi before. I will not underestimate them. Or that Neo Queen Serenity." His tone was that of deep rooted hatred as he spoke that name. "And I will not tolerate mistakes. You know the penalty for any who fail me." The creature swallowed hard once again as a bead of sweat rolled down it's forehead.
"Now..." A cape of pure black fluttered behind the figure as he stood and walked down two of the steps towards the creature and stopped. "Do not give me words or promises. I desire results. I want everything properly prepared before we begin the next phase. When you show me proof, then and only then will I be pleased. Until then, I expect extreme care. The last thing I need are those accursed senshi ruining things. Understood?"
The creature bowed it's head to the floor, shuddering in fear. "Yes, Master."
"Now go."
The creature quickly got up and left hurridly from the figure's presence. The figure turned and walked back up the steps to his throne. A sigh of annoyance left his lips as he sat down. His eyes flashed with hatred as the image of Sailor Moon and the inner senshi entered his mind.
"Nothing will deter me from what is mine. This time.... I will have my vengeance."
