Sailor Moon Onyx - Episode 7 Lights, Camera, Mayhem

It's been a few days since the carnage unfolded at Sunrise High School. Both Sunrise and Juban School had been feeling the effects of the fighting between the Sailor Guardians and their enemies. Principal Sharp was on live news explaining what will be done and how everyone can help with the repairs that would have to be done. As strong as she tried to be, she had to stop the interview to keep herself from weeping every now and again.

PRINCIPAL SHARP: So, we need all the donations and volunteers that we can get. If you care about the schools in your community, please come out and give us a hand. I have also requested a special meeting with the Mayor to discuss some possible city or state aid to help us rebuild. And, I have requested a meeting with the police commissioner to find the perpretrators of this unneccessary violence and prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law.

REPORTER: Ms. Sharp, what about the young lady that saved you?

SHARP: Excuse me? What young lady?

REPORTER: The one that stopped a lightning bolt from coming down on you. How do you feel about her?

SHARP: She's just as responsible for this carnage as everyone else that was here. What kind of person was she, anyway? The things that I saw a few days ago I can't even begin to comprehend. But, I do know this...they all need to be sent a message that this type of wanton violence will not be tolerated.

REPORTER: Ms. Sharp, forgive me for being curt, but is that how you repay someone that has saved your life? If it wasn't for her, you would've been struck by lightning and could've possibly died.

SHARP: And while I will personally thank her for that, it still doesn't change the fact that she broke the law. And, even heroes are not above the law. If the police are able to catch her, I will press charges and she will be punished...as will anyone that was involved in the destruction of this school. That's all I have to say about this. There will be no further questions.

Principal Sharp then quickly left the stage area and walked back inside the builiding.

Beryl, Demetria, Ebony and Jerry were all watching the news report from Ebony's House. Jerry had a seething, angry scowl on his face. He felt defeated and humiliated. The only thing he hungered for now was revenge. Ebony was lying in Beryl's arms, snuggled up against her like a kitten. She was falling in and out of sleep. Demetria sat in her easy chair, staring at the screen. No one was saying much of anything.

A few seconds after the interview ended, Imu walked in and quietly closed the door behind him. He looked at everyone in the room, not really knowing what to say. Imu was about to ask a question, when Jerry all of a sudden jumped up.

JERRY: BASTARDS!

Everyone suddenly looked directly at him. Jerry began glowing green and was breathing heavily while green rays were shooting from his body. He began pacing around, grunting as if he were an animal.

JERRY: Are we just gonna let them get away with this! We should've killed them all! I want them all dead! I want that stupid girl Trampest dead! I want her boyfriend in so deep in the ground that not even the gods will be able to find him! We can't let them get away with this! I WON'T LET THIS SLIDE!

Everybody else remained silent. Jerry looked at every one of them.

JERRY: What?! Does no one have nothing to say?! Am I the only one that is upset about this?! What are we gonna do about this, eh?

The others stayed silent as they watched him pant and walk around the living room in a very angry manner. Jerry paced back and forth as if he wanted to break a wall or at the very least kick something.

JERRY: Fine, if nobody wants to do anything about this, I guess I'll just have to take care of it myself!

Jerry then made his way towards the front door. Imu was about to move out of the way until Demetria stood up.

DEMETRIA: Stop!

Imu got in his way. Jerry began glowing a dark, sickly green with his eyes turned into something resembling a lizard's eyes.

JERRY: I don't know who you are, but I can promise you that if you don't get out of my way, something bad will happen to you.

IMU: You don't scare me, little boy. I think you better calm down before something bad happens to YOU!

JERRY: Oh, I'm just itching for a fight! Give me a reason!

DEMETRIA: BOTH OF YOU, STOP IT! THAT'S AN ORDER!

Imu and Jerry both looked at Demetria as she walked up to the two men.

DEMETRIA: Gerald, I understand that you are angry. You have every right to be. And, we are all angry. But, this is not the time to do something as rash as you are proposing. We have no plan, we are not at full health and you're not thinking clearly. Our goal is not just total destruction, but the taking over of this pitiful planet. But, how can we do that if you go out there undisciplined attacking people at will?

JERRY: So, what's the plan, then?! Cause for the past few days we have just been here sitting on our butts! And, speak for yourself when you say we are not a full health. I feel just fine!

DEMETRIA: But you are not strong enough to take on all the Sailor Guardians alone! What will you do when you find them?

JERRY: There's only one that I want.

DEMETRIA: And, you will get her. But, we have to be smart about this. Going out there angry at the world will not get us anywhere. You'll get yourself killed and you'll jeopardize the mission for the rest of us! Now, if you do that, you do that alone. Don't call us when you do get in trouble.

BERYL: And to add to that...I will personally dispose of you myself for endangering all of us.

JERRY: So, you're all against me?

DEMETRIA: No one is against you, but we can't sit by and watch you put all of our lives and our goals at risk. If you go out there on an angry rampage, then it is you who is against us.

JERRY: I'm only trying to get revenge for what they did to us!

DEMETRIA: And we will have it! All I'm saying to you is to not put anything at risk right now.

Jerry stopped and looked at them all. Imu was still standing behind him. Beryl and Ebony was looking up at him, as if they were questioning what he was about to do. Demetria was standing directly in front of him with a slight frown on her face.

DEMETRIA: Let him go.

Imu opened the door and stepped aside.

DEMETRIA: The bottom line is that the choice is yours. You can either work with us as a team, or go it alone. You just remember one thing...that is our essence that now runs through your veins. If we gave it to you, who's to say we can't take it away? You had better think long and hard on this before you make any more moves.

JERRY: Even if I were to do something, you'd never find out about it.

DEMETRIA: Are you sure about that?

Jerry stopped and looked at Demetria again. It didn't look like she was kidding around as she stared at him. Jerry started to calm down and then sighed.

JERRY: I'm going home.

DEMETRIA: That sounds like a good idea. We'll be in contact soon.

Jerry turned and walked towards the door. Imu gave him a look as Jerry walked by him. As Jerry walked out, Imu closed the door behind him and Jerry walked out of the lawn and on his way home.

REVEREND: And so, we say goodbye to Master Toshio Fuji. And we remember him as a man of great and humble character as well as a man committed to his faith. A man who did not allow any type of fear to overcome the mission that his maker had in store for him. And as he leaves behind his loved ones in the flesh, let us not forget that they have not been left behind in spirit. For he will always be with us because he is in our hearts.

As those final words were said, Scarlet lowered her head. She couldn't cry anymore. No tears would come out. She just stared at the ground in a sort of daze. The other guardians were there, mostly for support. Tiara, Amy and Tempest all surrounded her. Dream was the only one softly crying, holding onto Tiara and burying her head in Tiara's chest. Tiara held her tightly, trying to comfort her. Scarlet's parents, Sonny and Ruby, walked up slowly to her. Ruby was holding a boat with a paper as a sail. On that paper was a phrase written in Japanese which read 'finally at rest'. Ruby walked up to her and held the boat up to Scarlet with both hands.

RUBY: It's time to see him off, Scarlet.

Scarlet and Ruby walked close to a nearby stream where Master Fuji was being buried. The Reverend walked over to where they were and lit mini-torch and then handed it to Scarlet. She took it as Ruby held the boat in front of her and mid level. Scarlet lit the peace of paper, which caused a small, comforting fire. Then, Ruby turned around and placed the boat on the water, causing it to drift slowly down the little stream. The Reverend continued to pray silently while Scarlet stared at the boat as it eventually disappeared from sight, the last thing being seen was the flicker of light from the flame which would eventually consume the entire boat.

After a few more words, the funeral came to its end. Everyone returned to the Burning Tree Temple for a small dinner. Scarlet seemed to be in better spirits. Although it was obvious she was still sad, she was eating and talking with everyone. Not too many people pushed her too far, but just short conversations making sure that she was alright happened. It was around this time that Mae showed up.

MAE: TIARA?!

TIARA: Mom? Over here!

Mae walked gingerly up to Tiara.

MAE: How is she?

TIARA: Hurt...but doing better.

MAE: It'll take some time. Death is not an easy thing to deal with. Especially...like that.

TIARA: I know. I wish I could take it all away.

MAE: Yeah...if only it were that simple.

TIARA: It'll all work out in the end...I hope. Maybe she can turn this place around. This could be our new clubhouse...or something. I dunno, I'm just talking right now.

MAE: No...I think it would be a good idea. That man worked too hard for this just to let it all burn to the ground. Besides, it doesn't look like it's a total loss.

TIARA: You might be right, Mom. They didn't destroy everything.

MAE: Anyways, we still have an appointment. Go ahead and make sure your friend is alright and then come right back. We gotta go.

TIARA: Okay.

Tiara walked over to where Scarlet was sitting. Surprisingly, she was smiling. Tiara's heart melted just a little bit when she saw this. That's when she knew that everything was going to be fine. Tiara finally reached Scarlet.

TIARA: How you doin'?

SCARLET: I'm gonna make it. How are you?

TIARA: I'm good. Listen...I have to go to the doctor. My mom kinda already made the appointment before...this happened...and...

SCARLET: Girl, it's ok. Go. You've done enough for me already today. And don't bother coming back because I'm going to bed. I'm a little tired.

TIARA: You sure?

SCARLET: Yes. I want you to get some rest. You've been running around for the past few days helping me out. It's time for you to take care of yourself for a while.

TIARA: Ok, but I'm coming back tomorrow to make sure you're good.

SCARLET: That's fine. I need to talk to you anyways. I need to talk to all of you.

TIARA: About what?

SCARLET: Never mind for right now. Just go home and get some sleep. And, hey. Thank you. Thanks for everything.

TIARA: That's what friends are for.

Tiara and Mae walked out of the building and to the car. Then, sped away.

Meanwhile, Dream and Marlon were talking privately behind the building in the makeshift garden.

MARLON: How are you doing?

DREAM: I'll live, I guess.

MARLON: Sorry I couldn't make it to the funeral...it wasn't a family member so...

DREAM: I understand. You have your job.

MARLON: I heard you were crying like a sick kitten.

DREAM: I can't help the fact that I'm super-sensitive. I guess maybe I'm just a little too girly.

MARLON: There's nothing wrong with that.

DREAM: Officer, can I ask you something?

MARLON: Anything.

DREAM: Well, you see, um... I've been thinking a lot about you lately.

MARLON: Yeah?

DREAM: And...um...well...I hope I'm not being too forward, but, not all of them have been...ladylike.

MARLON: Oh...you mean...Ohhh...

DREAM: Did I make your uncomfortable?

MARLON: No...no you didn't. It's just that I didn't expect you to say that.

DREAM: Well...what do you think?

MARLON: Um...I don't really know what to think...I'm flattered...but

DREAM: Officer, look at me.

Dream faced Marlon and looked deep into his eyes. He returned the look, not really sure what to think or feel, but knowing that he wanted to do something that he wasn't sure if he should.

DREAM: Am I alone in how I think I feel?

MARLON: How do you think you feel?

DREAM: Like...I want to...submit to you. I want to belong to you.

MARLON: What? Really?

DREAM: Yes. I have to know. Am I alone?

MARLON: Not...not entirely.

DREAM: Yes. I thought not. I was hoping that this would be easier to say...but...I can't see you anymore.

MARLON: We weren't dating.

DREAM: No...I mean I can never see you again...period.

MARLON: I don't understand.

DREAM: There is something not quite right about me. I'm not the person you think I am. I would prefer if you remember me as the lovely princess that see me and not...

Dream began to tear up.

MARLON: Whatever it is, I'd be willing to accept it. I can handle it.

DREAM: I'm sorry, but my mind is made up. I have to stop this before it gets too far. We need to keep this at a professional level. So, no more welfare checks, no more calling me to make sure I'm well, and once this is over...no more contact.

MARLON: Is that really what you want?

DREAM: It doesn't matter what I want...It is what has to be...please, don't make this any more difficult than it has to be.

MARLON: I...I...

Marlon stuttered a bit and then look at the ground. And then turned slowly.

MARLON: If that's what you think it's best, then I'd better go ahead and leave. I'll send my partner if I find out anymore information.

Dream kept her back towards him.

DREAM: Thank you. Goodbye, Officer.

MARLON: ...

Marlon silently turned and walked away. Dream turned around just in time to see Marlon walk towards his cruiser. She silently held her hand up as if to signal that she changed her mind. But then, she put it down thinking that it was for the best. She sat down on a nearby bench and began sobbing...

DIRECTOR: Alright folks, today's the big day. We are going to change the face of American entertainment. This show has been hot stuff in Japan since it first hit the airwaves and we are gonna make it hot here! You all know your part and you know what needs to be done, so no screw-ups! Make it good, make it clean and pull it off without a hitch. I'm excited for all of you! Don't disappoint me out there!

The Director was going through his usual spiel of do a good job without mentioning the part about you being fired if you don't. While he was rattling on, a young and very pretty light skinned African-American girl was watching. Standing in the company of a bunch of big, brutish men, she heard the Director's loudmouth from afar. One of the men leaned over and talked closely to the young girl.

GRIP: Eh, Lori! You sure you wanna be one of them?

LORRAINE: I'm sure, Bull. I'm very sure. I can't be a stage grip all my life.

BULL: I wish you the best of luck, just promise me that you won't work for this buffalo butt all your career.

LORRAINE: I promise. First chance I get, I'm out.

Lorraine Venoix is a stage grip at the Gold Star Theatre, a film and live play production company that has just landed a big contract with the Texas Exposition Fair for live productions throughout the event this year. For a full three weeks, the theatre will be having live performances of what they are sure will be the newest hit show on American airwaves, a show out of Japan named 'Sailor V'.

Lorraine job is to set up the props, make sure all of the stunts are checked and double checked for safety and assist the actors whenever needed. It is a very grueling job, but Lorraine hopes that someday she will be rewarded for her efforts by landing a small part in a production or maybe just be the star of her own. It was always Lorraine's dream to be a famous movie star. From a young age has shown that she has talent in acting, singing and dancing, though none of these talents were ever nourished. Despite her setbacks, she somehow still found a way into the entertainment industry and will not rest until her goal is achieved...that is, if she doesn't die first from being a grip.

The company was preparing the stage and all the props right in front of the site where the Big Cowboy statue was. Big Cowboy is a 55 ft. cowboy that stands in the middle of the Exposition Fair, greeting visitors and telling them the events of the day and where to see them. The whole plot of this particular showing of 'Sailor V', was for Sailor V to investigate strange goings-on at the Big Cowboy statue, only to face her enemy in mid-air and stop him from destroying the symbol of the fair. The first show was scheduled for tonight, which is important because this show will signal the official state of the Exposition Fair, and the fair will not start until the show is over.

The Director had been panicking and nervous since last week. He called many rehearsals when they weren't needed and many drills when everyone already knew their place. The entire three weeks were equally important, but tonight's show would set the tone for how the rest of the tour would go. He had been saying to everyone that there will NOT be any mistakes tonight. Everything had to be perfect, and even then he wanted it better than that.

Lorraine had just finished rigging some of the other props and was about to set up another props that would enable some of the actors to 'fly', when a shrill voice came from behind her...

?: GRIP! GRIP! GET OVER HERE NOW! YOU!

Lorraine turned around to see an angry blond woman looking back at her. She had her hands on her hips and was tapping her foot.

?: YOU! YES, YOU! GET OVER HERE!

Lorraine sighed and started to walk slowly towards the angry woman. She arrived in front of her and stared at her.

?: Well, you didn't have to run over her so quickly. It's not like it was an emergency or anything.

LORRAINE: Were you yelling at me?

?: No, I was yelling at the light bright lady behind you! Are you stupid?! YES, I was YELLING AT YOU!

LORRAINE: I don't like being talked to like that.

?: Well, to tell you the truth, I don't really care what YOU like. You are only here because you're good at monkey work. I'm the star. I'm the reason you even have a chance to be in the entertainment busines. But, let's face it. We both know you'll NEVER make it as an actress.

Lorraine balled her fist up and began to growl under her breath, but did not respond.

?: Now...when I asked you for water, what kind did I say to bring me?

LORRAINE: Itagliano...

?: Very good. Itagliano. So, then tell me, WHY AM I DRINKING A BOTTLE OF PARRISSIMO?!

LORRAINE: I'm not the one that brought you the water...

?: It does not matter. I told YOU to bring me a bottle of water, not whoever brought me this CRAP!

The angry woman throws the bottle of water at Lorraine, barely missing.

?: YOU GET OUTTA HERE AND GET ME A BOTTLE OF ITAGLIANO RIGHT NOW, OR ELSE YOU'RE FIRED! YOU HEAR ME! FIRED! FIRED! FIRED! YOU'LL NEVER WORK IN THIS BUSINESS AGAIN! FIIIIIRREEEEEDDDD!

Lorraine walked away with a major attitude but also slightly fearful. This particular actress was known for having a temper and acting on it. But more important, she was the star of the show they would be putting on tonight. Her name is Medusa Ivy...also known as 'Sailor V'.

Medusa is not her real name...that remains unknown. She changed her name at a young age to this because she felt that it fit her personality better than her birth name. Since she was young, the only thing she ever wanted more than anything was fame and fortune and she swore that she would have it at any cost. A beautiful, blond haired and blue eyed Caucasian woman, she stands at just under 6 feet with a slender but stocky body due to her constant physical training. However, physical looks is where her beauty stops. It's no secret that she has a very cold and bitter personality. She's basically the type of woman who thinks that she has the right to treat people the way she wants. If anyone gets angry with her, she gets even angrier at them. Though she calls herself a 'delicate little flower', she is not above getting into physical fights with anyone, men included. And usually, she wins, even against people she was supposed to lose to. Because of this, nobody really wants to cross her path.

However, when she is 'Sailor V', or any other character she is portraying, she is as sweet as apple pie. Always one to stay around and sign autographs or take pictures, no one in the public eye really knows what kind of person she really is. She has perfected the art of deception an disguise, like the wily color changing chameleon, when the public look at her, they see 'Sailor V'. We could only hope that it remains that way.

Medusa stares down Lorraine as she walks away and then returns to the back staging of the area to get ready for one last rehearsal before the main performance. She starts yelling at someone else about some slight move they made and then sits down in her chair, waiting for the call to rehearsal.

DOCTOR:Now, can you Line 9 for me, Tiara?

TIARA:Y...A...A...S...D

DOCTOR: Good. Very good. And now Line 10?

TIARA: I...L...G...W...B...N

DOCTOR: Very good. Ok, so no sight problems then?

TIARA: No...I can see very well.

DOCTOR: Very good.

The Doctor walked around the table and cut off the chart. Tiara readjusted herself, facing the Doctor while Mae was sitting in a nearby chair.

DOCTOR: Your mother and I are gonna go outside for a little talk. You wait right here and we'll get you all ready to go.

TIARA: Thanks.

The Doctor and Mae walk outside of his door.

MAE: So, she's ok with wearing those weird contacts.

DOCTOR: *ahem*...Um, Mrs. Moon. Well, I don't know quite how to tell you this...but...you daughter is not wearing contacts.

MAE: Huh? How is that possible? You must be mistaken, I've never seen anyone with purple eyes before.

DOCTOR: I can barely believe it myself, ma'am. But, it's true. Those are your daughter's eyes. They are just like yours and mines...except...well...her eyesight is better than 20/20. It's almost as if she can see as an animals sees.

MAE: How do you know this?

DOCTOR: I had her read the entire chart from the distance of my desk to the wall. That has to be at least 10 feet. Do you know how small those letters are? Even though most people with 20/20 vision can read them, they still struggle at least a bit. But, she didn't...not even once. On top of that, I had her give me the description of random cars that were going by on the freeway. Not this one outside of my office, but the next one two blocks down. Not only could she tell me a color, but she could tell me the make and model. When I asked her how she knew this, she said she read it on the trunk. But, as you can see...

The Doctor takes Mae over to a nearby window to show her the two freeways.

DOCTOR:...to us, they just look like ants. Impossible to tell what kind of car it is. The only thing we could make out is the color, and even then that can be hard sometimes.

MAE: Then...what happened to her eyes?

DOCTOR: I don't know...I can't explain it. All I can tell you for sure is that those are definitely her eyes.

MAE: How many black people do you see with different colored eyes, doctor?! You're not making sense!

DOCTOR: It does happen in the black community, but it's very rare. But, then let me ask you this...how many people do you see with PURPLE eyes, regardless as to what race they are?

Mae couldn't answer but just silently shook her head.

DOCTOR: I would say that Tiara has a lot of questions that need to be answered. This is something that I've never seen before and I don't know quite what to make of it. Has this happened to anyone else? Anyone else she may have known?

Mae stopped and thought for a moment. Then, she realized that she does remember seeing her other friends. During the funeral and various points of clean-up, she does remember seeing Tiara's friends...and all of them with very strange colored eyes. She didn't talk to them much, and it didn't dawn on her until now.

MAE: Is...Is she gonna be alright? Is this an indication that something is wrong?

DOCTOR: I feel that her health is ok. Her eyesight is excellent, that's for sure. As to what may be wrong...I wish I knew what it is, but it's definitely not normal. When we go back in there, just don't say anything until we have a chance to talk with her.

MAE: Right.

The Doctor and Mae walked back inside the office. Tiara looked up and smiled.

DOCTOR: Well, Tiara, we have good news for you.

TIARA: My eyesight is excellent.

DOCTOR: That's right.

TIARA: In fact, they are better than 20/20 vision.

DOCTOR: Yes...yes...

Mae looks at her daughter with a puzzled face.

TIARA: It's almost as if I were some kind of...animal.

MAE: Were you eavesdropping on us?

TIARA: I wasn't trying to...but I heard everything you said.

MAE: Is that right? What were you doing outside of this room. Didn't we tell you to wait here?

TIARA: Who said I left this room? I was in here watching TV the whole time, I just happened to hear you. I never left.

MAE: Then how else could you hear me?

TIARA: Mama, I'll prove it to you. Doctor, the nurse is on her way in here to ask you if you want to move your lunch from 12 to 1. She will say that your mom was falling a little behind but she's on her way.

MAE: See, you were outside of the office, how could you possibly...

*knock knock*

The Doctor opens the door.

NURSE: Doctor, there you are. I hate to interrupt, but your mom just called. She said that she was wondering if you'd like to meet at 1 today. She's gotten caught up in traffic.

The Doctor and Mae looked at each other and then looked at Tiara. The Doctor then silently looked at the Nurse.

NURSE: What? Did I say something wrong?

Tempest was understandably nervous. She hadn't seen her dad, Terrell, in over 3 weeks due to him being on a mission for the FBI. She never dreamed that she would end up being the subject of the mission, let alone have anything to do with it. It was a little after the funeral when Terrell called everyone who was at the Temple together for a meeting...except Tiara who had already left for the day. After Terrell had gathered everyone, he looked out on everyone but didn't say anything for awhile.

Terrell Sullivan is Tempest's father and an FBI apprentice agent. He had just finished 10 years with the Dallas Police as an Undercover Detective before finally fulfilling his goal of one day joining the FBI. Right now, he is in his probationary phase with his first mission being to investigate the strange things that have been happening locally, starting with the Onyx Business Seminar disappearances and the Juban School attacks. But, what was he doing at Sunrise? Although he is a slightly portly African-American male and even with him being just slightly shorter than Tempest ,he is very imposing figure on anyone he comes into contact with. And with him being a former Drill Sergeant, it's very easy to understand why.

TERRELL: The reason why I called you all here today is because you all are now suspects in our investigations of a crime wave that's been going on in the city lately. There have been some strange things happening here lately, what with people reporting magical powers of some sort or mutant people or other weird, off-the-wall things. I have to admit, I didn't believe it myself at first...but what I saw here today...it answers a lot of questions.

Then, Terrell gives a stern look to Tempest.

TERRELL: And you...I'll deal with you personally when this is over...

The whole room could hear Tempest gulp as she looked at her dad with puppy dog eyes. Even when she's scared, she still has that 'come-hither', eyes half closed look.

Terrell turned his attention back to everyone else.

TERRELL: Someone needs to talk to me about what's going on here.

Dream then stood up.

DREAM: Mr. Sullivan...My name is Dream. Princess Dream. I'm the Princess of the new part of the park over at Seven Flags that's going to be opening soon. I'm also the one responsible for these girls'...new powers. To be frankly honest with you, I don't know quite what's going on either. I was given these rings and this little booklet to give to these girls. The ring itself will start to blink whenever I am near the girl that...well...the ring is supposed to go to. I have no control over who gets it and I can't use them myself. I'm just the guide.

TERRELL: So, you're the leader of this whole thing?

DREAM: No...I'm not. I'm just the messenger, so to speak.

TERRELL: Who gave you these rings?

DREAM: I...I don't know. All I know it was a man. I never even saw his face. It was just a shadow.

TERRELL: That's kinda stupid, don't you think?

AMY: Now, wait a minute. I don't know if I'd be calling that stupid. I mean, what would you have done?

TERRELL: I would've never taken the rings and I would've walked away.

DREAM: Well, that's just it. The Man said that if these girls didn't get these rings, certain destruction was going to come our way. To walk away from something like this would've put our entire world in danger.

TERRELL: And did you tell these girls the reason why they are doing this?

DREAM: I told them as much as I know.

TERRELL: So, how is our world in danger?

DREAM: Well...the people that we are fighting, they are looking for something called the Onyx Crystal. It is a great source of power and from what I understand, it has the power to turn an ordinary person into a being of supreme power...

TERRELL: Kinda like the rings these girls have on...

DREAM: Way more powerful than that. This thing may even have the power to destroy a planet...or it could bring everlasting peace to our world...it just depends on whose hands it's in.

TERRELL: Do you know who these girls are?

DREAM: I...uh...I'm still trying to figure that out...

TERRELL: You're lying.

DREAM: What?! I've told you the truth.

TERRELL: You're lying when you say you don't know who they are. Even if you don't totally know, you still have more of an idea than you let on.

DREAM: No...I don't...

AMY: We only know they're names...and we're not even sure of that. There's Meryl...and then there is that really old woman...what's her name? Oh, but the teenager, that girl's name is Ebony Moore.

TERRELL: How do you know her?

AMY: Everybody knows that chick. She's one of the meanest girls you ever wanted to be around. Nobody likes her because she's such a...well...you know...

DREAM: Mean spirited woman?

AMY: Not the word I was gonna use, but yeah. The point is, she's no pleasure to be around...not at all...so it's no surprise to me that she fits in so well with those jerks she's with.

SCARLET: I also have very good reason to believe that they know something about my master's death.

TERRELL: Why?

SCARLET: I'm not quite sure. It's just a feeling I got while I was meditating. I really have no interest in finding out more about the ladies. I already know whose responsible.

TERRELL: And, who is that?

SCARLET: There are two demons that have been torturing my master day and night for the past few years. They call themselves Phobos and Deimos. They kept repeating something about a deal that Master Fuji made with them back in Japan, but that he didn't hold up his part of it. He never did tell me everything, but I ended up finding out from them when they kept threatening me about helping him keep up the temple.

TERRELL: I see...

Terrell then turned his attention to his daughter. Tempest jumped a little bit but tried to remain as calm as she could.

TERRELL: And, what do you have to do with this?

TEMPEST: I...I guess I was one of the ones that were chosen? But, I really don't know, dad.

Terrell turns his attention back to Dream.

TERRELL: Why did you pick my daughter for this?

DREAM: I didn't. The ring just started to shine when it was near her. I don't know why any of the girls were picked.

TERRELL: I'm not sure what to think about any of this.

DREAM: Well, maybe if you could tell us what led you here in the first place, we could help you out more.

TERRELL: As I told you before, a lot of strange crimes have been happening recently. With the disappearances at the Onyx Business Seminar and the Juban School attacks and now this temple and Sunrise...nobody really knew what to make of it. The FBI were called in because what many people were describing was nothing short of paranormal behavior. That's the only category we could put it in. And hearing your story today doesn't make anything any clearer.

DREAM: But, that still doesn't explain what you were doing at Sunrise.

Terrell pointed at Amy.

TERRELL: She's the reason I came to Sunrise. Her...and the girl in purple.

AMY: ME?!

TERRELL: Yes, you! Many people at Juban saw you make water rise out of nowhere. They said you were fighting two people. However, no one could exactly remember what they looked like. From what I was told, you made a giant tsunami wave or something rise out of thin air and washed them away. Many people left there wet, but there were no fire alarms and when the police looked around, they could not tell us where the water came from. That's when they called the FBI...and I was sent here. My job was to watch you and to find out exactly how you did that.

AMY: And, were you ever going to ask me face to face?

TERRELL: Eventually...but first I had to figure out what I was dealing with.

AMY: How long have you been stalking me?

TERRELL: Really?

AMY: That's what it is, right?

TERRELL: Well, I have a very good reason to 'stalk' you, now don't I?

AMY: Well, I hope it was worth it.

TERRELL: I won't be worth it until we put a stop to whatever is going on. I concluded at the end of your epic little battle at Sunrise that I was going to get nowhere just watching you. And, with my lovely little daughter here throwing lightning bolts likes she's Zeus or something, this just became a little more personal. So, as far as you being offended goes, I can frankly care less. As far as the Justice Department is concerned, every single one of you are threats to the public at large. I don't think I need to explain what happens to you if they decide to take action.

TEMPEST: Threats to the public? But, we saved all those people?

TERRELL: People fear what they don't understand. Even if you're the heroes in all of this, the fact is that you have powers that make everyone else feel defenseless. If you can make fire, water and lightning come outta nowhere, whose to say you won't be the ones that enslave us all?

TEMPEST: Daddy, you're talking about me here?! I would never do that!

TERRELL: I know that, and you know that, but how about everyone else out there? Look, girls, I'm not gonna sugar-coat this for you. There are people out there right now who want you dead. They don't know what you are and they don't know what you're all about. All they need to know is that you have the power to destroy. You're above human, and people are automatically scared of this. They want you and whoever else is involved in this taken out, and it all depends upon what I tell them. And right now, I don't have much to go on except for a bunch of stuff that sounds like it came out of some kooky cult.

SCARLET: Well, what else are we supposed to do?

TERRELL: Tell me everything you know. No matter how insignificant you think it is, you need to tell me.

SCARLET: We've told you everything you know.

Terrell looks directly at Dream, who quickly looks at the ground.

TERRELL: Not quite, everything. Not quite.

AMY: Dream...did you tell him about that cop you keep hanging around?

TERRELL: Cop?

AMY: Yeah, there's this cop that she keeps hanging around. Is that what you're talking about?

TERRELL: I didn't know about that. Who is this cop?

DREAM: His name is Officer Marlon Carter. We've known each other for the past few months. He actually assisted me when I was mugged by a bad man. The girl in purple, as you call her, saved my life along with him that night.

TERRELL: How much does he know about this?

DREAM: About as much as you. I've tried to keep him out of it. He's investigating the same crimes, but he doesn't know that much.

TERRELL: Well, I guess I'm gonna go talk to him. In the meantime, just know that I'll be watching you. If you hear anything, ANYTHING...make sure to let me know.

DREAM: We will.

TERRELL: Are you sure there's nothing else you want to tell me?

DREAM: Yes, I'm sure. But, I'll be more than happy to escort you out.

TERRELL: I can find my way out.

DREAM (subtle yet forceful): I insist.

Terrell got the message and nodded his head. Then, he turned his attention back to Tempest.

TERRELL: As for you, we'll talk about this more when you get home tonight.

TEMPEST: I swear I was going to tell you as soon as I saw you, dad. I swear it.

TERRELL: ...We'll talk tonight.

Terrell and Dream walked out of the room while the girls were looking at each other. Ruby and Sonny walked in soon after.

RUBY: Well, you girls look like you could use some snacks after all...that.

AMY: How much did you guys hear?

SONNY: Everything. But, it's ok. We already know what's been going on with you guys. Scarlet explained everything.

AMY: SCARLET! Why'd you tell them! I thought we were supposed to keep it a secret?

SCARLET: Well when you figure out how was I supposed to keep it a secret when I come home with shiny red eyes, please let me know.

RUBY: It's true. We thought they were contacts. We told her to take them out, but she couldn't. She fessed up right there.

SONNY: Besides, our daughter can't really hide anything from us. Ain't that right?

SCARLET: *sigh* I suppose.

Imu and Beryl arrived in front of an open field. Momoko was there waiting for them. They both got out of Imu's car and walked up towards where Momoko was standing.

BERYL: Phobos? Deimos?

PHOBOS: At your service, Queen Beryl.

BERYL: I want you to meet Imu Kamenwati. He was the second to join us after my daughter.

Momoko held out her hand, and Imu took it and shook it.

DEIMOS: A pleasure to meet you.

IMU: Uh...same here, I guess.

DEIMOS: Do not be alarmed. Momoko doesn't mind us using her body. We haven't killed her...yet.

IMU: And, you don't want me to be alarmed at that?

PHOBOS: Ha ha ha! My brother is quite the joker, isn't he?

BERYL: Why did you call us here?

PHOBOS: Ah yes. There is something we wanted to show you that you may find very interesting, Queen Beryl.

Momoko led the two deeper in the field towards what looked to be a very strange and dilapidated house. Momoko went through the open door and led them inside.

IMU: Is this the part where the vampires get us?

PHOBOS: Fear not...no one is here. But, this is the domain of someone very familiar.

BERYL: Who would want to live in a place like this?

DEIMOS: Someone who had every reason to.

Momoko opened up a nearby door. Inside there was a tattered red and black dress lying on the ground. It looked to be something a harlequin would wear. Beryl looked down at the dress and then gasped.

BERYL: That...dress! How...!

PHOBOS: Ah, so you do recognize it, don't you? Now, Queen Beryl, I need you to listen very carefully to what I'm about to tell you. And, Imu, let you listen as well...

Demetria and Ebony were back at Ebony's House recovering from the last battle. Ebony was training while Demetria watched her closely. She had just mastered a very hard power beam move and gained the ability to set a nearby block of wood on fire.

DEMETRIA: Nicely done!

EBONY: That? It was nothing. Now, watch this.

Ebony made a powerful beam shoot from her first. It glowed an evil yellow. Once it hit a nearby tree trunk, it burst into a small flame, destroying the trunk where it stood. Demetria clapped.

DEMETRIA: You're becoming quite the princess. I think I'm starting to understand why Beryl is taking such a liking to you.

EBONY: Have I gotten as strong as you?

DEMETRIA: No, child. You could never be as strong as me. But, you have built yourself up to be a fierce warrior. With a little more training and tutelage...you'll be more than ready to rule over the worms that will be your subjects.

EBONY: Awww...that's sweet.

DEMETRIA: So, tell me, what else is there to do? I'm feeling great. So much power is surging through my veins right now.

EBONY: Well, we could always go and pick a fight with someone...or destroy some more schools...OOOH, how about a library or a police station?

DEMETRIA: No...not quite yet. I happen to like libraries and we only want to take out the authorities when we are ready to rule. I still think we need to be just a wee bit stronger to do that.

EBONY: Oh...well...we could always go work out for a while?

DEMETRIA: You mean, test our strength?

EBONY: Sure. I don't think Sunset was enough. We need to continue to do things like this to let people know we're on our way. Besides, I think it's now Imu's turn to get some blood on his hands.

DEMETRIA: The African...I see. He needs to learn to true meaning of becoming a king. It's time for his innocence to die. He just wants to stay in the background and collect all of the money. That won't happen under my watch, however. Well, Ebony, I leave this up to you. Where shall we go tonight for ours ladies' night out?

EBONY: I'm not sure...I know things are happening in the city, I just don't remem...wait a minute! The Fair!

DEMETRIA: Fair?

EBONY: Every year, we have the Exposition Fair. Thousands of people show up there. We could go there and flex our muscles!

DEMETRIA: Thousands of people, eh?! There would be more than enough to gather energy from and we could also test our strength there as well. It's perfect.

EBONY: Right!

DEMETRIA: Well, then it's settled!

Just then, Beryl, Imu and Momoko walked through the door.

DEMETRIA: Ah! You're just in time! We have a great evening planned for us all!

BERYL: Eh?

DEMETRIA: Ebony decided it would be fun to go to the fair this evening, and I agree with her. What do you think?

IMU: Not that place! I hated that place as a kid and I hate it now. There's nothing to do there but eat and ride rides and their all too expensive and there too many fat and stupid people there.

DEMETRIA: Exactly!

IMU: What are you getting at?

DEMETRIA: People equals energy for us. More energy equals more power for you.

IMU: Uh...I can't go tonight. I have...other business.

DEMETRIA: What other business?

IMU: Well, I have to balance the books for us tonight.

DEMETRIA: Are you talking about our money? You really have to learn to live a little, mister. I won't accept no for an answer. All of us, the entire foundation is going. Ebony, get Gerald on the phone. I wouldn't want him to miss out on this either.

BERYL: I've never seen you this excitied about anything.

DEMETRIA: Oh, I haven't felt this good in a long time, Beryl.

BERYL: Well, you might want to sit down because I have something that might dampen your spirits.

DEMETRIA: ...Really now?

BERYL: Yeah.

DEMETRIA: You don't want to go?

BERYL: No...not that. But, when I tell you this, you'll be more angry then festive.

Demetria sits down as Beryl begins to tell her what she had to.

Demetria just stares at her in silence after she hears the news.

DEMETRIA: Are you sure about this?

BERYL: I should know.

Demetria sits back and thinks for a minute...and then she starts to laugh.

DEMETRIA: Can this night get any better?! HA HA HA HA HA! They're finished! Those Sailor Guardians are history! After all this time! WA HA HA HA HA HA HA!

Beryl smirked.

BERYL: Well, I didn't think you'd see it that way.

DEMETRIA: This isn't bad, Beryl. This isn't bad at all! It's absolutely precious! HA HA HA HA HA! THIS IS GOING TO BE SOOO MUCH FUN! TELL GERALD TO HURRY UP! WE MUSN'T KEEP THE PUBLIC OR THE SAILOR GUARDIANS WAITING!

The crowd gathered up at the entrance gates to the Texas Exposition Fair. There were lights from the nearby stadium set up all over the festive atmosphere. It was a warm, full moon type of night. The type of night that was filled with electricity and that perfect mix of suspense, thrill and excitement. For many of the people there, it was a chance to get inside and fill their bellies with some of the most delicious and unhealthy food an American could buy. For the vendor owners, it was the first of many nights in were they would be raking in several thousands of dollars. For the actors and crew of tonight's 'Sailor V' play, it was undoubtedly a tense but exciting night. Even Medusa, who was a veteran at many shows, was a little nervous. She paced around the backstage area in her Sailor V uniform, worrying if her hair was alright and if the uniform was perfectly pressed.

In the background, Lorraine triple checked all of the props, making sure everything and everyone was in its place. If anything went wrong tonight, it could spell disaster for the theater and for everyone's career involved. Lorraine went around the stage with a screwdriver tightening up everything carefully, even things that had already been tightened.

Meanwhile in the crowd, Tiara, Scarlet, Amy and Tempest were all walking towards the stage. They all had treats in their hands and were walking with a rather relaxed attitude.

AMY: Hey...where'd Dream go?

TIARA: Oh, she's over there getting some stuff for herself.

AMY: Oh. Well, Tempest, it's good that your dad let you come here tonight. I thought you were grounded for sure.

TEMPEST: I'm pretty sure I haven't heard the end of this, but I guess he figured we all could use a breather.

AMY: Yeah...true. Scarlet, how are you doing?

SCARLET: I'm...ok. It's still kinda hard to go without him, though...

AMY: It takes time. Hopefully we can help you forget about it for at least awhile.

SCARLET: I appreciate it.

AMY: We could always have a beer or two.

SCARLET: What?!

AMY: I'm just kidding. That stuff's nasty anyways.

TIARA: Says you.

Amy snaps and turns her head toward Tiara who starts whistling and looking at the sky.

As the girls walked up to the stage, they noticed that everything else was blocked. No one could get in the park as of yet. As a result of this, there were thousands of people gathered at the front gates. However, if you looked closely, you could see shadows of people walking about in the back, more than likely the vendors and workers setting things up for the actual fair to start.

The girls got close enough to see comfortably and then stood there as the show was about to start soon...

Meanwhile, Dream had just bought her snacks and was closely following the girls, but she lost track of them in the crowd. Not quite knowing where she was, she picked a direction and followed it. It's a good thing that Dream decided to wear a nice pink athletic shirt with short pink shorts and white and pink tennis shoes, as the girls suggested. It would be too hot and muggy for the formal dress she usually wears, even if she did like it. She continued to walk until she went through an open platform door.

The door seemed to lead to somewhere she wasn't really supposed to be. There were people moving back and forth, but no one seemed to notice her. She kept walking until finally Lorraine saw her and walked up to her.

LORRAINE: Excuse me. I've never seen you here before. Can I help you?

DREAM: Oh, uh...I'm not sure where I am? I was looking for my friends you see...

LORRAINE: Well, they wouldn't be here. This is the backstage area for the show tonight.

DREAM: Oh my, I'm so sorry.

LORRAINE: It's ok. Hey, I hope you're not leaving right now. We're having a great show tonight.

DREAM: No, no. We just arrived. I'm looking forward to it! Will you be playing Sailor V?

LORRAINE: Me? Ha ha ha! No, I won't be. I'm just a background grip is all.

DREAM: Well, you're certainly beautiful enough to be her. Too beautiful to be back here.

LORRAINE *blushing*: ...thanks.

DREAM: Anyways, I'm sorry. I'll make my way out.

LORRAINE: It's ok. Honest mistake.

Dream held out her hand to shake it, and Lorraine took it. As they started shaking hands, a white light flashed in front of Dream and she was blinded for a second. As the light subsided, she saw what looked like a beautiful building in front of her. In the front she saw Tiara, Amy, Scarlet and Tempest standing in front of it, cheering and saying 'We did it!, We did it!' over and over again. As she was watching this, someone was standing next to her. Dream looked over to see a girl dressed in all gold looking back at her. She smiled and nodded her head. Then, the white light flashed in front of her face again and she was returned to reality. Lorraine looked at her for a second, still smiling.

DREAM: Did...did you see that?

LORRAINE: See what?

DREAM: Um...

Dream looked closely at her. Lorraine seemed to glow a little bit. Dream relaxed and concentrated on her forehead. After a few minutes, a symbol appeared on Lorraine's forehead. It looked like the symbol for a woman, which was a circle on top of a small plus or a cross and it glowed a gold color. Dream gasped.

LORRAINE: Lady, are you ok?

DREAM: Yes...I'm fine. I'm sorry, but could I have your name?

LORRIANE: Lorraine. Why do you ask?

DREAM: Oh, you just looked slightly familiar to me.

LORRAINE: You know, now that you mention it, I think I've seen you somewhere before, too. But, listen I'm really busy, so...

Just then, the Director walked backstage.

DIRECTOR: No! NO! NO! NO! THIS IS NO GOOD!

LORRAINE: What? What's the matter?

DIRECTOR: It's Mary. She's not feeling well! She was supposed to be the bad guy tonight and she's been throwing up all day. She thought it was just temporary, but it turned out to be food poisioning. We're doomed! It's the end of my company!

LORRAINE: What about the backups?

DIRECTOR: What? I don't have that kind of money! Who do I look like?

LORRAINE: Well, you had to have had a backup somewhere! An understudy!

DIRECTOR: No...Medusa didn't want to work with any of them. She said they were either too ugly or too fat. I mean, how is a girl who weighs 20 pounds less than her too fat?

LORRAINE: You...you don't know much about women, do you?

DIRECTOR: Quit bustin' my chops, Lorraine! What am I gonna do, here! I need someone to be Sailor V's enemy, and I need her two hours ago!

DREAM: What about her?

DIRECTIOR AND LORRAINE: HUH?!

DREAM: Well, it's seems like you have a good bad guy right here. *points at Lorraine*

LORRAINE: Me?

DIRECTOR: Her?

DREAM: Why not! She's cute! I'm sure she could be a convincing bad guy.

DIRECTOR: But, she's a grip! Whose gonna watch the props. Matter of fact..who are you! Oh, never mind! *turns to Lorraine* Do you know how to act?

LORRAINE: Um...maybe a little...I don't...

DREAM: She'll be perfect! I'll help her!

DIRECTOR: Well, what do I call you? The Mechanic? Screwdriver? Wait a minute...Screwdriver...that's a good name.

DREAM: Uh...no. We'll think of a name on our own. You just start the show.

DIRECTOR: But, you have no script. You can't learn the script in 10 minutes.

DREAM: Don't need one. We'll totally improv.

DIRECTOR: Damn it! Alright.

LORRAINE: Wait, I didn't agree to this!

DIRECTOR: Look, I'm desperate and I need someone to take Mary's place. You always talked about being an actor and now's your chance.

Lorraine had a worried look on her face but after a little bit of thought, she nodded and agreed to do it.

DIRECTOR: Good. I need you in costume in about 30 minutes. When the stage hands gives the signal, you're to come in for the final battle.

LORRAINE: Ok, I guess.

DIRECTOR: Be sure to tell the announcer who you are before coming out on stage. And try not to be too nervous, ok?

LORRAINE: Too #($*&#*$ late for that.

The Director wished them well and then walked away. Once he had gotten back to his trailer, he picked up the phone.

DIRECTOR: Yeah, Phil? Listen, uh, I just want you to know that I will pay you back your money as soon as I can.

PHIL: What's wrong now?

DIRECTOR: How would you feel if I told you we are using a stage grip for a backup actress?

PHIL:This better be a joke...I'm not in the mood for jokes...

DIRECTOR: Um...well, you see...what had happened was...

PHIL: Can she act?

DIRECTOR: Well, I don't know. But, she's pretty. Very pretty.

PHIL: So what is she gonna do, just stand there?

DIRECTOR: ...So, I owe you how much?

PHIL: Listen and listen well...if this does not succeed tonight, you will owe me a lot more than just money. You're just lucky they don't let people boil others in oil anymore. You had better hope this thing is at least halfway decent. I'm coming down there and I expect to be thoroughly entertained. And I will be...even if you have to put on tap shoes...get me?

Phil hangs up. The Director slumps in his chair and sighs.

Meanwhile, Lorraine and Dream rush off to the back room. Dream quickly begins to prep and style Lorraine's hair. Using some of her powers, Lorraine starts to look more and more like a doll than ever. She's shiny and glimmering. And old, unused costume from the back was used and transformed before it was put on Lorraine. It looks like an old sailor school girls outfit, very retro and very new. A few much touches and Dream is finally done.

She spins Lorraine around and she gasps as she takes a look in the mirror. Lorraine was always used to looking a little rough around the edges, but right now she looks like a beautiful woman with slightly pouty pinkish lips that matches her yellow skintone and her hair down and flowing. Lorraine pauses and examines herself.

LORRAINE: I'm...I'm a girl!

DREAM: Yeah, I think so.

LORRAINE: I hate it...

DREAM: What?

LORRAINE: No, I love the look. You did a great job. I just hate looking like a girl.

DREAM: Tomboy?

LORRAINE: I try to be...

DREAM: Kinda hard to be one with a face like that.

Dream reaches into her bag and pulls out the final ring. It is glowing a bright orangey-yellow color. Dream has to hold back tears as she takes Lorraine's hand. Lorraine spots the ring and smirks.

LORRAINE: Lady, I appreciate the offer, but we barely know each other!

DREAM: Huh? What?

LORRAINE: Oh...so you're NOT asking me to marry you?

DREAM: You're funny. Actually, this is a...good luck charm. I would like for you to wear it.

As Dream moved the ring closer to Lorraine, she started to notice that it was glowing rapidly

LORRAINE: I've never seen a ring like this. Are you sure it's ok?

DREAM: You'll be fine. Don't worry.

Dream slipped the ring on Lorraine's finger and then the ring stopped shining. It looked just like an ordinary, yet beautiful, ring.

A crew member then knocks on the door.

CREWMAN: Uh, Lorraine?

Lorraine looks over to the Crew member, who immediately starts to blush.

CREWMAN: Wow.

LORRAINE: Stop staring at me like that!

CREWMAN: Sorry...I've never seen you like this before. You look completely different.

LORRAINE: Yeah...well...

CREWMAN: You're on in five minutes.

LORRAINE: Oh God...Oh God...Oh God...

Lorraine began to panic. Dream grabbed her and shook her a bit.

DREAM: Listen to me, you're going to do great. All you have to do is relax. The words will come, ok? Now, I'm going to hand you a peace of paper. When you're out there, find a reason to read it. Say that you're reading an ancient spell or something. When you do, I need you to press down on your ring, okay?

LORRAINE: And then what?

DREAM: Enjoy the fireworks! *wink*

Dream then fixes her up one last time.

DREAM: I'll be backstage to help guide you through this. This is gonna be a great night, believe me. More so, believe in yourself.

LORRAINE:...Ok, lady. I don't know why, but I trust you. But, you didn't even tell me your name! I let you put makeup and jewelry on me and I don't even know your name.

DREAM: My name is Dream.

LORRAINE: *confused* ...Sorry, I asked.

DREAM: Why?

LORRAINE: Nothing, it was a joke. Just trying to loosen myself up.

DREAM: You'll do fine. Come on, it's time to go.

Lorraine and Dream walked together towards the ever growing sounds of the crowd as they cheered and applauded.

Sailor V was already out on stage fighting against her enemies using acrobatic skills the wowed and wooed the audience. Medusa used her martial arts skills to quickly take down her opponent, which were really just random actors. The main boss had yet to come on stage and it was only the henchmen at this time. However, the boss was due to come out at any second. After the last fight, Sailor V knocked an actor off the stage and, to the pleasure of the audience, stood in the middle of the stage in triumph. As she stood there for a second, she looked out on the crowd.

Sailor V was wearing an white sailor suit with orange skirt, orange boots and white gloves. Her hair was a golden blond and it was flowing all in the wind as her blue eyes searched out the crowd. Who would've guessed the evil that was underneath this angelic woman that stood in front of the crowd?

SAILOR V: Citizens! Civilians! Good Men and Women of this city, I thank you! As you have been informed of this evening, there are several of my enemies that, unfortunately, have descended upon your city in order to launch a new attack against you and your country. I have traveled many miles in order to put an end to their evil schemes! But, there are too many enemies here tonight! I need some brave volunteers from the audience to join me in my crusade for truth and justice. Who are the brave souls that will join me!?

Just then, a lady raised her hand and yelled. Sailor V looked out and pointed directly at her.

SAILOR V: Thank you, good citizen! Please come join me on stage.

WOMAN: I have others who wish to join your cause!

SAILOR V: Then, let them come!

Six people walked up to the stage. As they got on, people began to clap and they started waving to the crowd.

Tiara stopped in her tracks as she saw who it was. She was just about to put some food in her mouth, when she saw the people on stage and dropped everything. Amy, Scarlet and Tempest froze and looked as well.

TIARA: Do you see this?

AMY: They're actually here! All of them!

TEMPEST: So much for a relaxing night...

SCARLET: I don't know what you're complaining about...it just makes it easier for us to end this!

Scarlet ran away from the crowd with her friends following close behind her.

Meanwhile, on stage, Sailor V was taking the time to introduce the new participants.

SAILOR V: Now please, tell your fellow citizens what your name is.

BERYL: Beryl Stone.

SAILOR V: And who is this peppy lady with you?

BERYL: That's my b-uh-sister Demetria Stone.

DEMETRIA: Charmed. *giggle**giggle*

SAILOR V: And you...you're a big fella. The strong and silent time. Who are you?

IMU: The accountant...

The audience begins the laugh as Sailor V looks at the crowd with a smirk.

SAILOR V: You're even worse then the demons I just faced, aren't you?

IMU: You have no idea.

SAILOR V: And you, young lady...who might you be?

MOMOKO: I am Legion...for we are many!

SAILOR V: Wow! What a name! And what about you, young man, who are you?

JERRY: The name's Jerry, beautiful. I'm single and ready to mingle!

SAILOR V: Well, ladies...he's available! We already know that he's brave! But, is he strong? We will soon find out!

After she introduced the group, she had them stand in a straight line.

SAILOR V: Group, ATTENTION!

They all got into the attention stands. Demetria was laughing uncontrollably. Beryl looked at her and started to smile a bit.

SAILOR V: As you all know, we are facing a crisis. At any minute, we will find out who is behind this new attack on the people of this fair city. It's up to us to eliminate this threat before anything worse happens. From now on, I swear all of you in as members of Team Sailor V! Do you all agree to swear your allegiance to me this evening?!

ALL EXCEPT IMU: We pledge are allegiance to truth and justice. We pledge our allegiance to SAILOR V!

IMU: I pledge allegiance...to the flag...of the United States of America...

The crowd begins to laugh loudly. Even Sailor V found herself laughing.

SAILOR V: I'll take that as a yes, accountant.

Just then, the lights went down. Everything went completely dark except for the back stadium lights which didn't reveal much.

?: YOU CAN GATHER ALL THE FRIENDS YOU LIKE, SAILOR V! BUT, IT WON'T HELP YOU! I AM THE ONE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ATTACK TONIGHT!

SAILOR V: SHOW YOURSELF, COWARD!

?: ARE YOU SURE YOU'RE READY TO TAKE ON SOMEONE OF MY IMMENSE POWER?!

SAILOR V: NO MATTER HOW STRONG YOU MAY BE, THE POWERS OF JUSTICE WILL ALWAYS DEFEAT THE POWERS OF EVIL. NOW SHOW YOURSELF!

?: GLADLY!

The lights came up as a person was slowly being let down onto the stage, as if they were gliding down. It was Lorraine. In the sailor school dress she was wearing, she floated down as if she were a wingless angel. She gently touched the stage and stood there looking at Sailor V. A light was shining from under her, making her glow even more. She stood there for a second and looked at Sailor V. Sailor V smirked at her in an effort to keep herself from laughing out loud.

SAILOR V: So...you're the one that is responsible for this?

LORRAINE: I am.

SAILOR V: Who are you?

LORRAINE: Oh, that's very rude of you. Don't you remember who I am? After all, we went to the same school, we worked in the same places, we practically saw each other every day...and then...you just disappeared.

SAILOR V: Who...?

LORRAINE: You don't remember at all, do you? Well, maybe this will jog your memory. Now, let's see if I remember how to do this.

Lorraine took out the peace of paper that was in her dress pocket and opened it up. Then, in a dramatic pose with her legs the same length as her shoulders, she took one look at the paper and silently read it. Then, she remembered it and put it back in her pocket, held both her arms up over her head and pushed down on her ring. Lorraine then said the following:

"Though evil is strong, and darkness may fall...

The love and light from Venus will conquer ALL!"

At that exact moment, a gold light shone from the ring and surrounded Lorraine. Although she was terrified, she tried to remain calm. She thought that some kind of special effects would result from her pressing the ring, but she didn't expect this. The gold light surrounded Lorraine and made her glow even more than she was already. A bunch of hearts then started to surround her as she appeared naked on stage...or at least would've if it wasn't for the blinding gold light that surrounded her. Then, her clothes began to change. The dress became shorter and the sailor shirt became tighther. In the front, there was a white bow while the shirt turned a shimmering gold color. The back of the shirt neckerchief was also white with gold lines as well. The skirt ended up gold as well with white trim. White gloves and white boots with gold trim around the outside covered her hands and feet. Her hair shines even brighter and her eyes turned a bright, gold color. In the middle of her forehead, a bright white pearl shined brightly while a gold tiara appeared around her head. When the transformation was done, she stood there with gold lights surrounding her in a circle. They disappeared and there was a bright gold flash.

Then, it was done. Dream was in the backstage jumping up and down. FInally, all five rings were given out. The crowd began to cheer. What they thought was going to be a boring, stupid show is slowly becoming an example of epic entertainment. The Director was backstage with some of the stage hands, watching.

DIRECTOR: Oh...my...GOD! Why didn't anyone tell me she could do that?!

CREWMAN: Boss, we didn't know.

DIRECTOR: Oh, I don't know what to do. This is so...GOOD! Keep it going! Keep it going! Maybe we'll be saved after all! I want all special effects people here, NOW!

Back on stage, the two ladies silently exchanged looks.

SAILOR V: Impressive light show, but it doesn't intimidate me. Now, who are you?

Lorraine stopped. She didn't know what to call herself. Dream walked as close as she could and whispered loudly.

DREAM: SAILOR VENUS!

Lorraine turned looked up to the sky and closed her eyes. She was really trying to hear Dream, but didn't want the audience to know she was listening. She finally heard her and then opened her eyes and started to glow.

SAILOR VENUS: My name is Sailor Venus!

SAILOR V: Sailor...VENUS?! IMPOSTER! YOU REALLY THINK YOU CAN GET AWAY WITH TRYING TO BE ME!?

SAILOR VENUS: Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

SAILOR V: Imitation?! If you were really imitating me, we would be friends instead of enemies. No, my dear, this isn't imitation...this is TREACHERY! However, I'm willing to overlook this. I'll give you one chance, and only once chance, to give up. We can either do this the easy way...or the hard way. What's it gonna be?

SAILOR VENUS: Hmmm...let me think about it.

Sailor Venus walked around the stage actually pretending to think about surrendering. After a few steps she turned and looked at Saior V.

SAILOR VENUS: No.

SAILOR V: This is a foolish move on your part. You're outnumbered. Are you sure you want to do this?

SAILOR VENUS: It doesn't matter. I'll take you all down by myself!

?: That's won't be necessary!

Now this startled both Sailor Venus and Sailor V. The lights went down again as a purple force field appeared one stage. It surrouded Sailor Venus as she turned around to see who was behind her. In the front of them, a lightning bolt struck the middle of the stage, flames came from the air and water sprung up from the bottom of the stage. In one blinding light, four girls appeared on the side of Sailor Venus. The lights came back on and the crowd began yelping loudly.

The Director was literally on the edge of his seat as the events unfolded in front of him. Even he did not know what was about to happen.

SAILOR V: It's sad that it had to come to this...but if it must, then SO BE IT! PREPARE TO DEFEND YOURSELVES!

Sailor V and her gang charged forward while the Sailor Guardians returned the charge. Lorraine had been wanting to punch Medusa in the head for all of the abuse she had taken over the years, and wasted no time in delivering that hit. This was no act, this was a FIGHT! The punch heard round the park started things off as the rest of them began combat.

They all eventually split off into individual fights. Sailor Moon ended up fighting both Beryl and Demetria, as they were takin turns striking at her. Sailor Mercury started to tangle with Imu for the first time ever. Sailor Mars locked horns with Momoko. Sailor Jupiter and Jerry duel it on on the far right stage. And, in the middle, was Sailor Venus and Sailor V. Punches, kicks, power beams, laser, explosions...it was a battle royal if anyone had ever seen one. And, in the midst of everything, Ebony stood in the background, watching patiently before making her move. Sailor Mercury noticed that Sailor Moon was being double teamed and, after kicking Imu in the head, ran over and clipped Demetria, causing her to fall. Then, she quickly started attacking Beryl. No success, Beryl floored her easily, but left just enough time for Sailor Moon to counter attack with a star studded fist of her own, knocking Beryl square on the ground.

Meanwhile, Momoko and Sailor Mars were trading blows hit by hit. No matter how hard Momoko hit Sailor Mars, she would not go down and vice versa.

SAILOR MARS: I know you're in there, you bastards!

PHOBOS: You little mouse! We will crush you, just like we crushed your Master!

SAILOR MARS: If I'm going to hell, I'm taking the both of you with me! Come out of her body and fight me head on!

DEIMOS: What's the matter? Having a little trouble with us?

SAILOR MARS: One way or another, you're coming out!

Sailor Mars continued to punch and kick Momoko while the two spirits just laughed away.

DEIMOS: You're not hurting us, you're only hurting this poor pathetic pig of a human.

Sailor Mars took out a part of a Shinto scrool and made a quick prayer. Then she threw it at Momoko. It stuck to her forehead and Momoko was unable to move. Then, Sailor Mars planted a pristine sidekick in just under Momoko chest. The move caused Momoko to lose her breath temporarily and just then, some purple miasma, or spirit ectoplasm, shot out from Momoko's mouth. Sailor Mars had figured out how to get the spirits to leave Momoko's body. She kicked once again, causing more Miasma to come out. However, in the process, it was causing Momoko to cough and choke, making it very difficult for her to breath.

Sailor Jupiter kept locking horns with Jerry. Jerry seemed to have gotten stronger since they last fought, and his anger towards Sailor Jupiter was only multiplied since their last meeting.

JERRY: I loved you, you ungrateful tramp! I would've done anything for you! But, you had to go for him! HIM!

SAILOR JUPITER: YOU NEVER LOVED ME! IF YOU DID, YOU WOULD WANT ME TO BE HAPPY, EVEN IF THAT WASN'T WITH YOU!

JERRY: You're mine, you hear! You are never gonna get away!

SAILOR JUPITER: I would rather die than be with you!

JERRY: AND I'D RATHER KILL YOU THAN LET YOU BE WITH SOMEONE ELSE!

Jerry unleashed a barrage of green laser attacks. Sailor Jupiter was able to dodge every one of them, but the last one hit her square in the head. She started to go down, but then stopped as she saw Jerry glide toward her at a quick pace. Sailor Jupiter quickly grabbed him and threw him off the stage, into the audience. He landed on a teenage girl.

JERRY: So sorry, honey.

Jerry quickly stole a kiss from her on the forehead and then got up and made a single jump that landed him on the stage. Then, he started trading blows with Sailor Jupiter.

Dream, seeing that her girls were outnumbered, decided to join in the rumble. And then, that's when Ebony confronted her.

EBONY: You!

DREAM: Me!

BERYL: No, daughter! She's mine! I'm done playing with this moon child.

EBONY: Ok mom. I want to pick on someone my own size anyways.

Beryl stood in front of Dream and started glowing. Dream was a weak fighter, and she knew it. But, she gathered up all the strength she could.

BERYL: You won't be helping out anyone anymore, you nuisance.

DREAM: After this, I won't have to.

Beryl throws out a deadly sound wave, but Dream is easily able to dodge it as their battle begins.

Momoko starts to climb up the nearby Big Cowboy statue as she attempts to get away from Sailor Mars. Momoko can't fight against her attacks as she tries to shove the miasma back down her throat. Sailor Mars chases after her, shooting fireballs at her as she goes. They both are climbing up the Big Cowboy statue. Someone in the crew notices this and puts a spotlight on them.

This whole time, the crowd had forgotten that the fair was supposed to open 30 minutes ago.

Sailor Jupiter was starting to have trouble with Jerry. It turned out he was a more difficult opponent than she realised and he was showing her no mercy. She was getting tired and running out of ideas. She realised that if she didn't stop Jerry, he was definitely going to kill her. Gathering up the rest of the strength she had, she continued to fight him.

Sailor Mercury found Ebony to be a very opponent. Too easy, matter of fact. It's almsot of if she was losing on purpose. Sailor Mercury started to become suspect. While Sailor Moon was still conenctrating on Beryl, she couldn't see Imu sneaking up behind Sailor Mercury. Imu slashes Sailor Mercury on the back, knocking her down. Sailor Mercury can't get up as she is disoriented.

EBONY: Finish it!

IMU: You mean...

EBONY: Kill her! Now! While she's down!

IMU: I didn't sign up for this!

EBONY: DO IT!

Imu started to charge up some of his dark power. He looked on the young Sailor Mercury's face. She was moving her legs trying to run, but didn't even know that she was on the ground. Imu charged up and was about to release a power beam when...

FWWWOOOOMMMMMM!

Imu was knocked down with an awesome force. Sailor Moon stopped Imu just in time and then ran and landed a hard right on Ebony's jaw, knocking her out cold. Sailor Moon then picked up Sailor Mercury and ran off stage with her. She put her down and made sure she was ok. Sailor Mercury woke up moments later.

SAILOR MERCURY: moo-ooo-ooon?

SAILOR MOON: Shh. Just rest here, ok?

SAILOR MERCURY: O...k...

Sailor Mercury falls asleep. Sailor Moon put her down gently and then ran back out on stage...furious.

Sailor Jupiter finally succumbs to the beating she receives by Jerry.

SAILOR JUPITER: please...stop...

JERRY: What happened to all that toughness, wench? HUH?! WHAT HAPPENED TO ALL OF THAT TOUGHNESS!

Jerry raised his hand and a green light started to shine in it. Inside of this light was an orb that started to pulse rapidly. He started to laugh maniacally as he looked down on Sailor Jupiter. She covered her face as she saw the terrfying orb that Jerry made. Jerry raised his hand and was about to lower the boom on her when...

FWOOOMMM!

Jerry was knocked to his feet. The orb was released, but it went crashing into the audience on the other side of the stage. Luckily, no one was hurt. Jerry turned around to see Sailor Moon standing there.

JERRY: This is none of your business!

SAILOR MOON: You're messing with one of my girls! It is MY BUSINESS!

Sailor Moon raised her hand up and the moon seemed to come very close to the earth. She started to glow a soft purple color. The audience stopped cheering and looked up as they suddenly saw the moon above them. Then, Sailor Moon opened her palm towards the sky and a giant vaccuum began to raise up all of their enemies.

BERYL: Not this again!

SAILOR MOON: It's time to put an end to this! Now that I have you all here, I'm sending you all away. Never come back!

Sailor Moon began hollering as the force that lifted the enemies up became stronger and stronger. And it would've worked...had no Sailor V ran and tackled Sailor Moon, causing a big earthquake on the earth as the moon returned to to the sky. Sailor Moon quickly snapped her head to see Sailor V standing there. Sailor Venus, slightly beaten, was behind her and attacked. Sailor V turned quickly and dodged, but could not dodge Sailor Venus's follow-up attack. Sailor V fell, but took Sailor Venus with her as they both hit the ground.

DREAM: Retreat girls! Retreat. We're outnumbered too much. Get outta here!

SAILOR MOON: No way! We can't let them get away!

DREAM: Jupiter and Mercury are down. We can't keep fighting this way. Please, we must leave!

SAILOR MOON: Damn! Venus, come with us!

SAILOR VENUS: Right!

Sailor Moon and Sailor Venus started to run off stage. Dream grabs Sailor Jupiter who was barely conscious and started to float off stage, looking to grab Sailor Mercury. Meanwhile, Beryl, Demetria and the others were screaming, cheering that they were leaving and declaring a victory.

BERYL: Should we chase after them?

DEMETRIA: No. Let them go. We'll finish them off later. We still have a fair to open...and a new person to recruit!

BERYL: You've got something up your sleeve, don't you?

DEMETRIA: Always, sister!

FWOOOOOOMMMMM!

The Big Cowboy statue caught on fire. Momoko was screaming as she fell toward the earth. She landed on the stage as miasma was surrounding her mouth and face. Phobos and Deimos were attempting to get out of her body, but they were caught and they were exhausted. Then, a giant flame came out of the sky. Sailor Mars landed with all the force she could directly on top of Momoko! The Miasma jumped out and Phobos and Deimos, now covered in purple ectoplasm, gasped for air and mercy on stage. Sailor Mars erupted in a giant fireball, destroying most of the stage and setting the Big Cowboy statue on fire. The giant, 50 ft. statue was set ablaze as the audience began to dance and cheer and scream. Sailor Mars' fireball disappeared, and she looked to see all of the enemies scattered about, except for Sailor V. Beryl groggily got up and looked at Sailor V.

SAILOR V: WHY YOU...COW!

SAILOR MARS: YOU WANT SOME OF THIS!?

SAILOR V: OH, I WANT IT ALL, EVILDOER. I WANT IT ALL!

Beryl threw a fireball at Sailor V.

BERYL: Catch!

Sailor V caught it and immediately threw it at Sailor Mars. But, it never hit her. Instead, it exploded upon impact of Sailor Venus, who blocked it with her shield just in time. Sailor Venus turned and looked at Sailor Mars.

SAILOR VENUS: We have to go!

SAILOR MARS: Why? Now?

SAILOR VENUS: We have injuries. We gotta go!

SAILOR MARS: Fine...but we're going out with a bang.

Sailor Mars raised her hands to produce a fiery phoenix out of thin air. She then quickly lowered her arms to cause the phoenix to dive bomb into the stage. The blinding firewall with straight up to the sky and then disappeared. Sailor Mars and Sailor Venus stood in the flames together while the audience watched.

SAILOR MARS: You will see us again...count on it!

SAILOR V: If you had any sense, you would not return!

SAILOR VENUS: Oh, I can't wait to shut you up for good. See you soon, Sailor V!

Sailor Mars and Sailor Venus disappeared in a ring of fire.

The crowd began to cheer as Sailor V did her trademark victory pose. The Director was beside himself.

DIRECTOR *crying*: That...was the greatest show I had ever seen. Oh my God, she did it. Those beautiful bastards did it!

The Crew men were all proud of both Medusa and Lorraine...especially Lorraine.

CREWMEN: That's our girl! Did you see what she did!? I don't believe it! It's always the pretty ones, eh?

The crowd was screaming at the top of its lungs. However, the Big Cowboy statue was still on fire.

SAILOR V: Fear not, ladies and gentlemen. There will be fire no more.

Sailor V raised her hands and strectched out her palms. She didn't know if this would work or not, but she tried it anyway. Beryl silently waved her hands around to cause a strong wind that knocked the fires out. The statue had stopped burning and everyone now thinks that Sailor V did it. As soon as the last flame was put out, Sailor V turned back to the audience and did her pose. The audience cheered loudly.

Then, Sailor V went to a nearby platform and stood on it. It started to rise slowly as the audience was silent.

SAILOR V: Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls. Evil has been vanquished from our sight...and this night...this gloroious and victorious night for us all...I now proudly declare the Exposition Fair of Texas OPEN!

A bunch of fireworks shot out from behind Sailor V as the neon lights and rides turned on behind what used to be the stage. The People began to cheer loudly as this happened. Sailor V was covered in fireworks. As much as it slightly hurt, she never felt more alive in her life. Then, a final explosion and blinding light for the finale. Sailor V, still standing with her arms outstretched and all spotlights on her as the audience went in. She finally relaxed as the platform started to come down.

The others were looking down waiting for her to come. A little girl came and hugged on Demetria.

GIRL: OMG! THAT WAS SO AWESOME! YOU WERE MY FAVORITE! WHAT'S YOUR NAME! CAN I GET YOUR AUTOGRAPH!

Demetria looked down and smiled a little bit.

Beryl rolled her eyes. Demetria caught wind of this and looked at Beryl.

DEMETRIA: Jealous?

BERYL: Of course, not.

More and more fans came up to greet them.

Sailor V finally touched down and got the biggest applause of all.

Imu dropped back to where Ebony was standing. Though they were getting some attention, not as much as the others. Ebony was looking over Momoko, who appeared to be really hurt. Imu looked down.

IMU: How serious is it?

EBONY: Hard to say...but I don't think the two demons are inside of her anymore.

IMU: You sure?

Ebony pointed over to some purple sludge that was on the ground nearby.

EBONY: You tell me.

IMU: Damn.

Two paramedics came rushing over.

PARAMEDICS: We'll take it from here.

They started checking on Momoko. After looking her over, they loaded her onto a stretcher.

PARAMEDICS: She's hurt, but she's got a pulse. She'll be fine. But no more shows for awhile.

The Paramedics wheeled her away.

IMU: Should we stop them?

EBONY: No...she's pretty much useless to us now that those demons bit the dust.

IMU: What do you think Beryl is planning now?

EBONY: Ever heard the saying you'll catch more flies with honey than with vinegar?

IMU: Yeah...

EBONY: Well, that's the plan, now. Why steal the humans' energy when instead we can just have them willfully give it to us?

Imu nodded his head in agreement.

The night was spent with Beryl, Demetria, Sailor V and Jerry signing autographs and taking pictures.

The girls returned to Dream's house. Sailor Mercury and Sailor Jupiter were both immediately put to bed as Dream started to care for them. Dream's injuries weren't severe, but she was hurt. Sailor Moon started casting healing spells on everyone. When the stars fell on Sailor Jupiter, she moaned.

SAILOR JUPITER: That...feels...nice...

SAILOR MOON: Enjoy the ride, girl.

Sailor Venus sat down. She tried to stay as calm as she could, but she was hurting badly. Even Sailor Mars was cramping and sore.

Sailor Moon casted her healing spell on Sailor Mercury.

SAILOR MERCURY: I'm...sorry...I couldn't...hang...

SAILOR MOON: I don't want to hear that right now. You saved my butt out there. Just relax. I get to serve you now.

SAILOR MERCURY: I...I...

SAILOR MOON: Go to sleep.

Sailor Mercury drifted off to sleep.

Sailor Moon is starting to feel the effects of this now, but she still soldiers on. Sailor Mars starts up fire in the area. Dream casts healing spells as well, but it's starting to affect her too. Sailor Venus finds the strength to get up and helps Dream.

SAILOR VENUS: I got you.

DREAM: No, I got you.

Dream blows some pink mist in her face, causing Sailor Venus to collapse on the ground. Dream catches her and lays her gently on the ground. Then, she picks her up and places her on a nearby couch. Sailor Moon and Sailor Mars are still running around casting spells on everyone.

SAILOR MOON: Dream, are we still safe here?

DREAM: Don't worry...no one can get in or out of this place. We're fine.

SAILOR MOON: Good. I want to cast this on all of us...even you.

DREAM: Healing spell? I don't need that.

SAILOR MOON: I'm not asking you. I'm the leader of this group, right?

DREAM: Yes, but...

SAILOR MOON: No buts. We got are butt kicked out there today. I want everyone at 100 percent by tomorrow or at least the next few days.

DREAM:...ok. Just, let me get my dress.

SAILOR MOON: You're putting that thing on now?

DREAM: It helps me sleep.

SAILOR MOON: ...Ok. Let me know when you're ready?

DREAM: What about you?

SAILOR MOON: I'll have to cast it on myself after everything is done.

Sailor Moon walked over to Sailor Mars and told her what she was going to do.

SAILOR MARS: No, I need to meditate.

SAILOR MOON: Mars, I really don't want to argue about this.

SAILOR MARS: I don't need to sleep. I'm ok. You go ahead and sleep.

SAILOR MOON: Why don't you need to sleep?

SAILOR MARS: I'm...I'm too happy to sleep. I avenged him. After all these years I finally got rid of those two damned demons. I just did it...just did it too late... I need to meditate. I need to talk to my master. I'll fall asleep right after, I promise. Please.

SAILOR MOON: ...

Sailor Moon nodded and let Sailor Mars get into her position. As she was doing so, however, Sailor Moon sprinkled some stardust on her head, which started to cause Mars to get very drowsy.

SAILOR MOON: I'm sorry, Mars. You can kill me when you wake up.

SAILOR MARS: mooon...what did you do?...you...jerrr..zzzzzz

Sailor Moon picked up Mars and carried her to the nearest free couch. There she put her.

Sailor Moon then walked to Dream's room, only to find Dream sitting on her bed, crying. She didn't changed out of her clothes, but instead was looking down at a red and black harlequin tattered dress and a broken crown on the floor. In the dress, there was a white dummy with what was supposed to be Dream's face drawn on it with...only except it looked more...plastic.

SAILOR MOON: Dream? What's going on?

Dream looked up with tears in her eyes.

DREAM: They know...they know...Sailor Moon...please don't let them take me away...

TO BE CONTINUED...
