The Saga of Mercury
Chapter 6
Is It Over So Soon?
One month has passed. The Sailor Scouts
are their normal selves, living life
normally without any Negaverse threats.
Greg has gone out with Amy on dates twice
a week; other days they get together for
studying.
One day, Greg was alone in the Library
trying to pick up a physics book to read.
He took it out, but the book was in so
tight with other books, that the other
books fell down onto the floor. Greg
reached down to try to put the other
books back on the shelf.
"Can I help you?"
Greg looked up to see a beautiful girl
with long, red hair.
"Uh, no thanks, I'll be fine," said Greg.
"Oh, I'll help you anyway."
The girl helped Greg and placed all the
books back on the shelf in order.
"My name is Libro.. er.. Lillian."
"Hi Lillian, I'm Greg."
"Say Greg, you're cute. Do you want to go
out for an ice cream? My treat!"
"Uh, thanks, but I'm supposed to meet
someone here shortly..."
"Pleeeease, Greg?" Lillian said.
Lillian's eyes then began to glow yellow.
Greg squinted, and then opened his eyes.
He seemed to be fascinated by the yellow
light that shone from Lillian's eyes.
Greg, in a voice lower than normal, said,
"Yes, Lillian." He wrapped both of his
arms around Lillian's hips. Lillian
thought to herself, this is working
exactly as Sorinya planned. Soon Greg
will be all ours, and poor Amy won't be
able to do anything about it!
"Your eyes.. are beautiful.." Greg told
Lillian. "Your hair.. is pretty.."
"Keep going..." said Lillian.
"I love you," Greg said. The two kissed.
One week passes...
Why hasn't Greg called me in a week, Amy
thought. I call him every day and he's
not there. I'd better go to his house to
see what's going on.
Amy took the first available high-speed
train to Greg's stop, then walked two
blocks to his house.
Now, Greg's house was old-fashioned on
the outside, but modern on the inside. It
was completed about two years ago, and
Greg and his father have lived there for
about six months. The exterior was very
unique, in that it had an outdoor patio
that made a circle around the entire
house. A swimming pool was in the back.
Amy walked up the steps, and walked on
the patio to the front door. Amy looked
at herself in the glass pane of the
outside door, making sure that she looked
her best. She then rang the doorbell.
"I'll get it!" said a voice inside.
"No, don't worry about it, stay here,
let's finish our science project," said a
female voice.
Amy thought to herself, I don't recognize
that voice.
A pause, then...
"Yes, sweetie pie. Let's finish it."
Amy recognized Greg's voice at that
instant. "Sweetie Pie? Something's fishy
around here."
Amy decided to try the back door to see
what the problem was. Amy walked around
the patio to the back.. but then stopped
in shock. Right in front of her eyes, on
the sundeck next to the pool, Greg was
kissing another girl with such passion
that would have made Leonardo DiCapprio
proud.
"GREG URAWA!!" Amy yelled. She felt very
steamed on the inside as she marched her
way to Greg.
Greg snapped, "Amy! What on earth are you
doing here?"
"WHAT ON EARTH ARE YOU DOING WITH HER?"
retorted Amy. Amy slapped Greg hard.
"Um, hello, my name is Lillian.." was all
Lillian could say before Amy shoved her
into the pool.
Amy cried her way from Greg's house all
the way back to the train station. Amy
ran straight to the platform edge and
looked frantically to see if a train was
coming. A train was definitely coming...
too fast. The train, traveling on the
express track, whizzed by Amy in four
seconds.
A man stepped up to Amy and said, "Excuse
me, miss. The next train to Tokyo arrives
in 15 minutes... Oh goodness, are you all
right?"
"I'll be fine, thank you," was Amy's
reply.
Amy took a few steps and sat herself down
on the bench next to the platform. Other
than Amy, the man that spoke with her,
and the station agent, the entire
platform was empty. Amy was crying, and
felt hurt inside. She thought to herself:
Why? Why did this have to happen? Why did
he kiss that girl? Is that what he's been
doing all week long... hang out with her?
Amy then lifted her head and saw a figure
approach her.
"Hello Amy Mizuno, I finally have you in
my grasp," said an evil voice.
"What?" said Amy.
Amy saw a purple figure with long black
gloves, tied-back red hair, a book and a
pencil. On the cover of the book she was
holding was the inverted crescent moon
symbol. "Libroria is my name, writing
books is my game!"
"Oh no!" yelled Amy. Amy tried to run to
the station exit, but saw the man and
ticket agent tied to a support beam,
gagged and blindfolded. The station exit
was covered in stacks of books. Amy then
turned to face her enemy and yelled,
"MERCURY STAR POWER!"
"Heh-heh-heh! Well, well, Sailor Mercury!
The, quote unquote, 'brains of the sailor
scouts'. Hope you like reading things,
because I am about to write your very
last chapter! Hyaa!" Libroria thrusted
her pencil toward Mercury. The pencil
turned into a sharp knife.
"Oh!" Sailor Mercury gasped, dodging the
knife. But Libroria threw more pencils at
Mercury. One of the knives cut into her
sailor suit, above her elbow. The force
of the knife thrusted Sailor Mercury to
the wall. Before Sailor Mercury could
remove the knife, other knives struck
her, and she was completely pinned.
"Now," said Libroria, "time to close the
book of your life! Farewell, Sailor
Mercury!" Librora threw the book at her.
The book turned into a ball of fire,
aiming straight for Sailor Mercury's
face.
Sailor Mercury let out a final scream.
Well, actually, the scream wasn't a final
one, because...
"MERCURY ICE SHIELD CHARGE!"
Sailor Mercury looked to her right and
saw Mercury Knight, in his attack
uniform, cover her with his ice shield.
The ice shield was so powerful that the
fireball disintegrated on impact.
"I don't believe it!" said Libroria. She
tried to reach for another book, but
realized she didn't have one. "I'll be
back for you, Sailor Mercury, and when I
do, it'll be your last fight!" she said
as she disappeared in a swirl of purple
smoke.
As the Tokyo-bound train was nearing the
station, Mercury Knight ran to Sailor
Mercury and began to remove the knives
that were pinning her hands. "Are you all
right?" he asked. Sailor Mercury then
used her free hands to shove Mercury
Knight to the ground. "I don't need your
help! I won't be able to trust you
anymore, after what you did to that
girl."
"Uh.. what are you talking about," asked a
puzzled Mercury Knight.
"Just LEAVE ME ALONE!" screamed Sailor
Mercury. Using her free hands, she
generated a fog bubble, and aimed it
straight at Mercury Knight. "SHABON
SPRAY!" she yelled.
Mercury Knight was covered in fog as the
train pulled in. "Sailor Mercury!" he
yelled.
When the fog vanished, the entrance was
cleared, the station agent and the man
from earlier were untied, struggling to
get to their feet, and the train to Tokyo
was about to depart. Mercury Knight de-
transformed to protect his identity.
Greg looked around...
Sailor Mercury - Amy - was nowhere in sight.

Where did Amy disappear to?
Did she end her relationship with Greg
then and there?
