"Alex!" Ami ran over to him, she saw Amara and Michelle running towards him.
"Get out of the way Mercury, You have allowed him to get too strong." Uranus said.
"And now that he has a pure heart crystal, there's nothing that's keeping him from using it to take over the universe!" Neptune chimed in, They were getting closer until a narrow thread of silk came in between them.
"I don't think so you brats! That boy is my target, and I'm not allowing anyone to take him but me!" Araneae snarled.
Amara looked back at Michelle, She nodded and aimed her right arm at Araneae.
"Neptune, Deep Submerge!" She resonated as a blue sphere of water was launched through the air and made it's way towards the monster. Araneae smirked and fired a web like usual, the blast was able to beret it's way through the web and hit her head on.
"Ahhhh!" she cried out. "That...was NOT nice…" her eyes were full of rage as she was entirely soaked.
"Uranus, Let's grab him and go. We have no other reason to be here." Neptune said.
Amara kneeled down to Mercury and whispered in her ear; "Listen, I know you're a smart girl and I Really don't want to hurt you.".
"Then why do you want to take him...He hasn't shown any aggression towards us at all!" Ami tried to defend him.
"If he bears the seal of Dynastia, then he is bound to eventually turn. It's best that we take care of him now before he shows his 'true colors'!" Like last time, Amara readied another attack. This time it was aimed towards Ami.
"Sailor Uranus, please don-"
Serena was too late as a bright orange glow filled the forest. However, when the glow resonated, Amara was on the ground with a black bruise on her back.
"Uranus!" Neptune quickly knelt next to her, that's when a black beam was seen shooting through the trees and hit Michelle.
"Michelle!" Lita ran to them. "Are you guys okay?!"
"L….look out!" Amara mustered out as she pulled Lita's shoulder down to avoid getting hit.
"Oh come now Araneae, I thought you would've gotten this job done hours ago. I thought you said you weren't going to disappoint me.." The monster looked like a deer in the headlights when she heard those words coming through the forest.
"V...V...Vanessa! I was just about to finish things up, U..until these two showed u-"
"Save it for someone who gives a damn, I'm done with you."
"Vanessa please wait! Don't!"
"Goodbye Miss Araneae, Next time; Don't try spinning your words with me."
And with that, Vanessa centered her hands near her amulet and fired a black beam of light towards Araneae. She let out a final scream and eroded into dust. The scouts looked at Vanessa in horror as she looked entirely different. She was dressed in all black, along with a black jeweled crown and a dark amethyst amulet donning her neck.
"Vanessa...That body does not belong to you, You need to leave!" Alex yelled.
"Ahh, If it isn't my Precious little nephew.." Vanessa smirked and caressed his face.
"Get your hands off me!" Alex slapped her hand away.
"Oh now now, that is no way to treat your Auntie…You little brat!" She grabbed Alex and threw him to the ground with great force. He quickly recovered and rolled back, putting his right hand out.
"Dynasty Gravity Boost!" He said as a supernatural force escaped his hands. She swiftly moved to the left and backfired with a shot from her black pistol. Alex nearly avoided it and sent another Gravity Boost to Vanessa, Unfortunately she dodged it. He was getting tired fast,
"This is insane…" Alex thought. "I'm guessing that amulet is boosting her abilities, along with giving her some new ones. I've never seen her launch those black lazers before today. So If the amulet is producing her newfound strength, then maybe…"
"What's wrong bud? Getting worn out from all the fun We're having?!" She taunted.
"Oh, not at all Vanessa. In fact, I'm actually really bored with this game." He responded.
"Excuse me? What the hell is that supposed to mean?!"
"Well there is really no 'fun' to be had when Your attacks are nothing more than child's play. I mean, come on. This, is the person they sent to take my heart crystal?" Alex said, pointing at Vanessa.
"I mean, come on. Whoever sent you could've done a whole lot better." He added.
Vanessa's face changed from a smirk to a teeth grinding, glaring eyed, blood curdling look of hatred. She grabbed the amulet and grasped it with a tight grip. It was shocking to think how the article of jewelry didn't break from how hard it was held in her hand. The amethyst jewel in the center started to glow, getting brighter within seconds. The scouts tried to run towards Vanessa to stop her, but it was too late. All of a sudden a bright flash filled the park causing everything to go white.
Alex woke up to the sound of birds singing. He didn't know what had happened as he discovered he was no longer in the park, but what appeared to be a bedroom. As he took in his surroundings, he found out this wasn't any bedroom.
"This...This is my room?" This was weird, especially since he was dressed in his pajamas. Alex got out of bed and looked outside his window. The city streets and Skyscrapers of Downtown Los Angeles greeted him. It was currently raining outside and the city looked peaceful as people were walking on the sidewalks in various raincoats and multi-colored Umbrellas. As he looked at the familiar sight, he started taking in the situation.
"Why am I back in LA? Just moments ago I was fighting Vanessa, and then she used that necklace, I guess that's how I'm here." He thought. "Was going to Japan a dream? Did My aunt really become a monster? Am I really a Sailor Scout?"
He kept thinking when he heard the door creak open. He was surprised to see who was behind it.
"...Mom?"
