Disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon I am writing this for fun and to get the idea out.
A/N We will be getting some more action this chapter. There will be relationship developments. Oh and by the way the princess was wearing black heels, the moon wand turned into a blood red staff similar to Beryl's, the silver crystal began to glow a black light, and her hair that is tied in the butter fly style braid cascades down her back to the floor. On with the story.
Chapter 4
The scene opens to a view of the Dark Kingdom's castle's throne room. In it Queen Metaria sits on the throne that was once Beryl's only now much more majestic. To its right a new addition of a less majestic throne is seen and in it is the Crown Princess Metaria.
Queen Metaria: Zoisite I require your presence. She commands. He teleports in with a shower of flower petals.
Zoisite: What do you need my queen. He says this as he bows. Queen Metaria rises from her throne staff in hand. Her daughter does the same following in step behind her.
Queen Metaria: Zoisite you have experienced many failures. I am willing to give you one last chance to destroy or capture the senshi. Is that understood?
Zoisite: Yes my queen. He teleports out.
Princess Metaria: Mother why will you not let me deal with the senshi.
Queen Metaria standing at an intimidating 7 feet bends down to cup her daughter's cheek in her hand who only now stands at 5ft 4in.
Queen Metaria: I do not let you my childe because you are simply not yet ready for them and I just do not want to lose you. No come we are going to train you some more so you will be ready.
Princess Metaria: I understand mother.
They walk to the training room. They step inside and in it there are multitudes of candles on the walls with various sections in it. They go to an area with only runic circles on the floor.
Queen Metaria: Sit down my daughter.
They both sit on the circles their staffs lying in their laps.
Queen Metaria: Today we will be going back to basics with a meditation exercise. Now to get started we close our eyes. Then try to feel the dark energy following in and around you and let it lake over.
As she says this she begins to float off the ground. Dark energy can be seen encircling her. The Red Crescent moon on her forehead also begins to glow.
Queen Metaria: Now you try my daughter. As she says this her daughter begins the meditation.
Meanwhile it is the middle of the day on earth. Rei, Ami, Makoto, and Mamoru were talking in the arcade after school about what happened to Usagi.
Mamoru: What do you think is going to happen, I mean she has been gone for awhile; she has even been reported missing.
Rei: I do not know but something in the fire told me it was bad. Motoki walks up to them with their orders.
Motoki: Her are your orders. By the way I'm sure Usagi will turn up sooner or later. He says this with some hope.
Just then the door opens and a blond that could have been Usagi's twin. However her hair is a lighter blond. She has a soldier's eyes. She also has a police badge pinned to her shirt.
Motoki: Hey Mina-chan, I have not seen you here in a while. What will you have?
Minako: Sorry Motoki I can't I'm here on business.
Mamoru: What kind of business?
Minako: The disappearance of one Tsukino Usagi, and since this is one of here usual hangouts I thought I should ask around.
The girls/Motoki/Mamoru: Sorry but I don't know anything about that she just disappeared.
Minako: Well thanks for your time bye.
Just then an image of Zoisite appears in the sky.
Zoisite: Sailor Senshi tonight will be your last meet me at the park for your destruction.
The image disappears and everyone stares with shock.
Motoki: Well that was weird.
The girls and Mamoru quickly make excuses to leave so they can prepare for the battle. Later in the middle of the night the girls and Tuxedo Kamen arrive at the park waiting for Zoisite when he suddenly appears.
Venus: Tell us where the princess is now!
Zoisite: You will have to win that information out of me because I am not telling.
The battle then ensues. Zoisite is using crystal projectiles and a sword. The girls are using their attacks while Venus uses the sword while Tuxedo Kamen uses his roses energy attack and cane to fight.
Zoisite first disables Mars. Jupiter is taken out shortly after. Tuxedo Kamen then fails to stop him. Venus holds out a little longer before falling leaving only Mercury left standing.
Zoisite: It appears as though only the weakest is left.
Mercury: I am not weak!
Zoisite: We will just see about that weakling.
The battle starts up again with both of them pulling out all the stops Zoisite firing crystals and Mercury charging up all kinds of water based attacks.
It goes on like this for a while longer. Then Mercury gets a clear shot at Zoisite she fires an icicle at Zoisite killing him. Just as he dies Mercury's widen in shock at what she has done and breaks done crying, "What have I done?"
The others get up and walk over to Mercury to find out what is wrong. She just brushes them off and goes back home. The others not wanting to push and being tired decide to head back to their homes as well.
Meanwhile back in the Dark Kingdom Queen and Princess are still meditating. Suddenly Queen Metaria gets a vision that Zoisite is dead when that very crystal appears in her hands.
Queen Metaria: (thinking) Well Zoisite has failed but the expended energy from the battle will prove useful.
Suddenly she senses that her daughter's aura starts to turn from black to silver.
Queen Metaria: (thinking) Darn the spell is starting to wear off I need to get her back.
She begins to use the meditation to send images of evil into her mind and use the recently required energy to keep her evil. Princess Metaria's aura turns back to black and Queen Metaria sighs.
Queen Metaria: All right that is enough for today childe I believe it is time for us to retire.
Princess Metaria: Your right mother I guess it is good night mother.
She leaves to and returns to her chambers leaving the Queen alone.
Queen Metaria: (silently) I need to find some way to keep her under my influence because once it is complete I can finally take over then take her power and be done with her.
