"You?" he sneered. "You are a mere child. What could you possibly do to me? I, the King of the Dark World!"
Hotaru stood tall as she gazed up at him. "I am not a child. I am Sailor Saturn, the patron of the Star of Rebirth. I am the Destroyer and the Soldier of Silence." Her eyes flashed, turning a dark purple and losing their warmth. "I have lived for far longer than you could ever know. I am the Bane of the Senshi, I am she whom the first Queen Serenity locked away." The Glaive appeared in her hand. Her voice grew ice-cold, cruelty lacing through her tone. "I have slaughtered battalions of Moon Kingdom soldiers and bathed my scythe in their blood. I have toppled empires and kingdoms. I saw Beryl wreak havoc, I saw the Prince and Princess die. I saw their warriors killed like dogs." The Glaive began to glow. "And now I will end you."
It was rather quick. He tried to put up an energy shield, but Saturn's Glaive sliced through it easily. She beheaded him with one smooth movement before turning and regarding her companions. An icy smirk played around her lips.
"It would do you well, Senshi, to recall that although my human form is a child, I am far from innocent or harmless."
Out of reflex Uranus and Neptune lifted their weapons, ready to attack. Only Pluto remained motionless. They didn't see their little firefly standing before them. They saw her for what she was: A warrior of death.
"And you, Pluto." Saturn laughed suddenly; it was a bone-chilling sound. "Do not get too attached to your little family. Soon—very soon—you will lose them and become what you were meant to be." Her eyes glowed. "Like me."
