Chapter X : The Horrible Truth Revealed

Rini opened her ruby eyes to find a virtual blue sky. she blinked in surprise at the brightness and thought 'What happened? last time i looked, it was night! ' The pink haired girl blinked once more just as someone shouted "Rini! your awake!" Noelle suddenly came into Rini's view, her red hair dangling next to the other girl's ears from looking down.

"How are you feeling?" said the red head as she moved back to let Rini sit up.

"Well," said the pink haired girl as Austin walked up to the girls. "now that you mention it, i feel better than i did before. What happened?" Noelle made a gulp sound and said in a saddened voice "You got stabbed by a thunder spear from Alica. We were able to get you out and Minerva saved you like she did me." Noelle paused for a second before continuing, and when she did, Rini could tell she was really upset. "While we ran to get you to safty, Mini Jupiter-Lisa, didn't come back." Rini felt her heart rip as she grabbed her transforming locket from her blouse. she pulled it off and founed the Jupiter shaped charm on the back along with the Mercury, Mars and Venus charms. the pink haired girl made a whimper as she put the locket back, but as she did do, she found something hanging around her neck. she brought it up to her face and asked "What's this?"

"It's called a cystal arrowhead. Minerva gave it to me when i was gathering wood. she told me it would help you and Noelle to fight Nehelenia." said Austin, pointing to the white one around Noelle's neck, and then to the pink one hanging around Rini's. The pink haired girl nodded and quickly stood up from her soft bed of leaves. she brushed clinging leaves from her outfit and said "Guys, we leave in 30 minutes to head to the next portal. in the meantime, lets get something to eat." Noelle nodded and smiled as she went over to their small food stash. Rini was starting to act her old self again.

"Mercury, how much father to the next protal?" asked Sailor Venus, whiping sand off the back of her leg from when she triped on a sand dune. The blue senshi whiped out her mini computer and started to punch the small buttons as she switched from looking ahead to the computer screen and back.

"Well Mercury?" said the orange sailor again. Mercury turned to her and said "Venus, give me a minute. the sand has gotten into the computer and messed things up."

"Okay, sorry." the orange senshi looked up a head and saw more sand.

"I hope we get to the next portal soon." said Sailor Moon, saying what everyone else was thinking. Tuxedo Mask walked up to his wife and said "I'm sure we will." the others nodded as Mercury said "Found it! its only a few more blocks to the next portal!"

"Great job Ames!" said Sailor Jupiter, slapping her blue friend on the back gently. Sailor Mercury still winced at the slap. Suddenly however, Saturn, who was at the front with Mercury and Jupiter shouted "Look! something in the sand!" she ran to it, swinging her scyth and picked up the object. it was a red ribbon. Sailor Venus saw it and made a gasp. she ran to Sailor Saturn, grabbed the ribbon and looked at it. Venus Knight joined her and said "it's Melody's." tears formed in the couple's eyes as their friends and fellow partners surrounded them.

"Don't worry Venus. We'll get them back." said Pluto as she patted her friend on the shoulder. Mars nodded in agreement and Venus Knight said "Okay everyone, it's best we keep going."

"He's right. let's get to the next portal." said Moon and they started to walk in the sand once again. 'Nehelenia will pay for this! i swear she will!'

Leavs and dried twigs crunched under the three teenager's feet as they walked between oasis pools. Rini flipped through the cheats booklet for a minute before she said "looks like we're getting close." Noelle and Austin both made sigh sounds as they walked a few more feet. they both were glad that this whole mess would soon be over. However, after ten more minutes, they were still walking. Noelle walked up to Rini, who was leading the trio and said "Are you nervous Rini?"

"About what?" said Rini as she pocketed the cheats manual. "The battle? Are you kidding girl! i'm always nervous when i'm about to go into a huge battle like this." Austin walked up between the two girls, placed his hands in their shoulders and said "Everything will be fine. You two are sailor senshi and i'm sure you guys are better fighters than that Nehelenia lady ever could." all three smiled to hide their internal fear as they passed the last tree in the oasis level. when they did so, the three of them saw a portal just feet from the last towering oak tree. it was ovel shape like the others, dark purple and had a ring of dark orange and red fire dancing around the very corners of the dark purple energy. Austin gulped as he neared it and said "I'll go first." he planted his left foot inside and waited. after ten seconds of nothing, the rest of him fallowed. when there were no screams from the other side, Rini and Noelle nodded, then went through the portal at the same time.

--------------------------------LEVEL FIVE- - TRANSYLVANIA---------------------------------

The new area was dark and creepy. The dirt they stood on was pitch black like they were standing in an open fireplace and the virtual sky was set to remain at dusk perminently. Mist circled around their shoes and feet while a musky smell like dead wood filled thier sinus'. The ground they were on was not really wide at all, but rather a single file path leading up to a large castle that floated in the sky a few miles away and looked like it belonged to Dracula. Nothing else was there. the group of now three teenagers looked at the ominous building with aw and Noelle said "Something tells me we should go to the castle." Rini pulled out her cheats booklet and flipped through a few pages until she reached the 5th level.

"Noelle's right." she said after ten seconds of looking for another way out. "we have to go to the castle to get out of this place."

"Snap." said Austin in dispaire. that was NOT the answer he was hopping for honestly.

"I sympothize dude." said Noelle as she placed her hand over her transforming locket. "Do you wanna go first Rini?"

"Alright." said Rini as she raised her hand into the air.

"MINI MOON COSMIC POWER MAKE-UP!"

"SOLAR SYSTEM POWER MAKE-UP!" in a flash of pink and gold mist and a fancy light show, the girl's outfits quickly transformed into their sailor fukus.

"Now let's get going. i want to get away from here ASAP!" said Austin, starting up the pathway. Because of the scrawny pathway, the three had to go single file as they went up, but other than that, nothing happened. No monsters attacked them, no goddesses tried to kill them, nothing. Because of this, they got to the castle in only about 30 minutes. it would have taken them sooner, but because of the ninety degree angle the path was in, they kept triping and narly plumititng to their deaths. Once they reached the top of the path, a huge wooden drawbridge fell down and a building sized god with a yellow outfit and a curly white beard walked out.

"Welcome." he said in a gruff voice. "The all powerful one is waiting for you in her throne room. Please fallow me." the god made a large U-turn and walked back inside. the two senshi and one teenage boy jumped onto the drawbrigde and fallowed the tall man inside.

The group walked through the castle for a few minutes before they cought up with the long stride of the god. Once they did, the three were out of breath, including the senshi who had inhansed stamina. after a few more minutes of walking, Sailor Solar System saw a table the size of her bedroom and said "Man this place is huge!" Sailor Mini Moon and Austin nodded, looking around the palace in Transylvania as they did so for the first time since they entered. The palace was mainly made out of wood and hard gray stone. Dectritive rugs hung on the walls near candles that were pasted to the wall or hung from spacific spots on the ceiling, creating an eerie glow around them. Long shadows shot from the people, dancing on the walls and rugs in a copy motion to their owners. On the ceiling were candles wern't hanging, the area above the senshi heads was made out os stained glass with pictures of Nehelenia and mirrors surrounded the castle like ornements. As the two senshi, one teenage boy and one god neared a large wooden door, Austin noticed something wird above the entryway where they were headed.

"That's weird." he said to Solar System who was next to him.

"What's weird?" the gold senshi asked in reply.

"There's fluourescent lamps above the wooden door." Mini Moon and Solar System looked at the spot he mentioned and realized he was right.

"Why don't they just have candles? and why arn't they on?" said the pink senshi. the god made a grunt sound and said "The All Powerful One does not like to use them. they are in case of an emergency." Solar System made a crack about the candles being obsolete but the god stayed silent as he pushed open the wooden door. the four walked in and found themselves inside another hallway, only much smaller. it was much shorter than the one they were in previously and the only thing in it was a few more candles and another, smaller wooden door. the god led them down the hallway and opened the door for them.

"The All Powerful One is waiting inside for you." he let the three much smaller people through the door before he closed it and left them to their faith. Inside the last door was really nothing. Only a throne that was shouded in shadows and a decritive paint job on the tile floor.

"Hello Minis and welcome. To your doom!" came a bone cracking female voice. The girls and Austin jumped in surprise as the throne was lit up by a light from above. Sitting in the dark wood chair wasthe evil queen of mirrors herself, Nehelenia. She looked just the way Rini remembered her from their last encounter a couple years ago, only her gown was now only one color, silver gray.

"I'm guessing that you're Nehelenia, the person who brought us here in the first place." said Solar System as she crossed her arms over her chest. her voice was dripping with venom. the evil queen of mirrors chuckled evilly for two seconds, then said "My my, the new sailors are getting more and more feisty everyday huh? I am who you speak of, but i'm the last person you are going to see." She climbed out of her throne, which was barley big enough to hold her and she said "Before we begin, i feel that the girls should know the truth. Right Austn?"

"HUH?" said Mini Moon and Solar System in unison.

"He didn't tell you?" said Nehelenia with sarcasm falling off her voice like Niagara Falls. "But he wasn't instructed to do so. Is that correct Spy number 30942?"

"WHAT!" said the senshi in unison once again. they looked at Austin, who bowed his head in shame. by doing this, his bangs moved slightly and revealed a black upside down crescent moon mark on his forehead.

"Yes your highness." he said, keeping his head down. The girls looked at him in horror as he said "I knew about the goddesses attacking you before hand."

"He also told me which scout went down and he tricked you with those crystal arrowheads." finished the evil queen of mirrors.

"But why Austin? I thought you were our friends!" shouted Solar System, tears nearly escaping from her emerald eyes.

"Him? Your friend? Friendship is so easy to make, but a piece of cake to shatter like glass." Said Nehelenia. she sat back down in her throne chair and snapped her fingers with the long fingernails. Four figures suddenly materialized in front of the throne and glared at the sailor scouts with dark red eyes. They walked out of the shadow of the large chair so Mini Moon and Solar System could see them. The two scouts gasped in horror again when they saw the figures with their own eyes. It was their four friends who had disappeared in the black sticky ooze. Only, their eyes were the red color, had no irises, and each had the black moon mark on their foreheads. Instead of the senshi outfits they were in previously, they were now in the Amazon quartet costumes. Jamie was in Palla Palla's blue outfit while Lay was in Vesu Vesu's red costume, and Lisa was in Jun Jun's green outfit while Melody was in Cere Cere's pink and orange costume. The girl's grinned evilly as the evil queen of mirrors said "I think you scouts remember these girls. They used to be your friends. But now, they are your doom."

"This can't be." said Mini Moon. she was very scared at what the queen was implying.

"Yeah, they can't fight us!" said Solar System, feeling the same as her leader was.

"It is and they can fight you. Now, Austin, leave and do some work while the girls take care of the Sailor scouts. Evil Slaves! Go and get rid of them!"
