To all my readers... I deeply apologize for how long it has taken to get this chapter up. Computer crashes, long and draining night shifts and other problems have been the order of the day for the past year. It is thus with humbleness that I present Senshi Muyo Chapter 20...

All Previous disclaimers still apply.

Senshi Muyo Chapter 20: No Need For Doomsday Part 4.

Time for your final contributions To our school. Sacrifice yourselves for the Sovereign...

Sailor Moon looked out in dismay at the huge crowd of students gathering at Muugen academy.

"We have to get in there!" Tenchi exclaimed.

"Yah but first we have to do something about those students." Mars said grimly.

"Leave that to us!" Kiyone said firmly. "Mihoshi! Dispersal gas!" She began to fit an adaptor on her service blaster and loaded a cylinder into it and checked the setting. "Ready Mihoshi?" She asked as Mihoshi finished prepping her own weapon.

"Ready." Mihoshi nodded.

"Fire!" They both squeezed the triggers and two canisters of gas arced out toward the crowd. The canisters exploded spewing gas in the midst of the crowd. The students continued their steady procession without pause.

"No good!" Mars exclaimed. "They're under some form of mental control... To stop those students we have to find whoever is controlling them."

"Then we had better get into that building and now." Kiyone replied.

Doctor Tomoe examined the blazing crystal in his hands with immense satisfaction. "Amazing Kaorinite... You've done well." He smiled approvingly at her.

"Two perfect crystals doctor." She nods. "No one can stop the coming of the silence now. No one...'

"Let's split up!" Kiyone said as they neared the main entrance. "Mihoshi... You and I will go with Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. Tenchi... You, Ryoko and Ayeka go with Sailor Moon and the inner senshi. Washu? If you, Tuxedo Mask, and Katsuhito san will remain here and see if you can find a way to get these students out of here..."

"Right." Washu nodded.

"Sorry Kiyone." Ryoko told her. "I'll find my own way in." She teleported inside. That witch is mine and I don't want anyone caught in the way when we go at it...

Uranus spotted a service entrance 20 meters to the north. "Come on detective... We'll go in that way." Uranus said leading her group in that direction..

"Good luck." Tenchi said quietly and then followed behind Ayeka and the others into the pillared he clutched the master key tight.

"Non students aren't allowed on campus." Cyprine said with a smirk as a bubble formed around Tenchi's group. "I'll be up to deal with you pests momentarily..." The bubble rose up to an office Ayeka found rather familiar.

"Well well... What a surprise." Ayeka muttered to herself as she recognized Doctor Tomoe's office. Everyone looked around waiting for their enemy to reveal herself.

"Welcome Sailor soldiers!" A voice spoke as the over sized office chair turned to reveal a young woman in with blue hair and eyes and a blue and black outfit. "Nice to meet you all. I'm Cyprine. The last and GREATEST witch of the Witches 5. Soon this world will be wrapped in silence. The Death Busters will be victorious... But first I'm going to have to destroy you." She remarked almost as an afterthought.

"Indeed now?" Ayeka said coolly.

Cyprine smiled. "And you are?"

"I am Ayeka... " She said coolly. "First Crown Princess of Jurai's Royal Family and you shall do no such thing I promise you."

"Enough talk!" Jupiter growled. "Let's waste this witch!"

Mars nodded and launched into her 'Burning Mandala' attack which erupted and blew the windows out of the highrise office. A cloud of smoke enveloping the spot where Cyprine had been. "Did I get her?"

Two eerie lights; one blue and the other red, glowed amid the smoke. The lights shot out slamming Mars into a heavy oak door. She fell forward and dodged just barely out of the way of the red one before the blue one slammed her back down to the floor. Tenchi cursed as the others were too close for him to ignite his sword.

Venus shot her golden chain around Cyprine to find the witch strangely amused. Then the red light returned and hit Venus in the back. Everyone looked in surprise as Petrol appeared beside her twin. They smiled confidently as they introduced themselves. "Two together. The one and the same."

"It doesn't matter how many you are!" Jupiter spat angrily. "Sparkling Wide Pressure!" A powerful ball of electricity launched at the twins. They crossed staves and reflected it back. Ayeka just barely able to errect her shield infront of Jupiter to prevent the blow as the twins leapt into the air and launched their own attacks.

"I guess the Sailor Senshi aren't that much afterall." Ptitol remarked.

"Shine Aqua Illusion!" Mercury cried and launched out her attack only to see this likewise prove ineffective. The return strike slammed against Ayeka's shield and she grimaced against it.

The twins laughed.

"They're strong."

"We have to do something!"

"Their teamwork is just too good!" Mars replied.

"If we can separate them somehow..." Mercury advised.

"Playtime is over now." Cyprine said mildly.

"We're attacking for real now." Ptitol added.

"The next one that hits... You will die." They chimed in unison.

"We have to take a risk now!" Venus declared.

"I hope somebody's got a plan!" Tenchi answered looking at her.

Mars nodded. "Stay down!" She told Tenchi as she followed Venus' leap back into the fight.

"Here we go!" Mercury affirmed following.

"Let's show them OUR teamwork!" Sailor Moon and Jupiter declared as they joined in.

Ayeka looked on unhappily knowing she and Tenchi both needed to stay out of the way.

"Bubbles! Spray!" Mercury shouted fogging the area.

Cyprine scoffed "How useless!"

"Love Me Chain!" The twins raised to block Venus' attack but the chain wrapped around both staves as Sailor Moon and Sailor Mars launched new attacks against the still unimpressed twins.

"Your attacks do nothing against us! we'll only absorb your power and use it to increase OUR power!" Cyprine was caught of balance as Jupiter slammed her from behind.

"Absorb this!" Jupiter said as she ran off drawing Cyprine to follow her..

Ayeka nodded as she understood the plan. She raised her shield in preparation.

"Cyprine! Don't chase after her!" Her twin warned just before Mars dropped a double fisted blow down on Ptitol's back "Damn you!" She shouted chasing Mars. "I'm not letting you get away!" Ptitol called after Mars as she and Cyprine both powered their attacks.

Cyprine fired at Jupiter and missed... Jupiter launched back into the air. "Baka!" Cyprine called after her.

Mars found herself caught in between both dodged as they simultaneously fired at her. Each not seeing her twin in the line of fire They screamed as they annihilated each other. Mars and Jupiter both dove behind Ayeka's shield as the resultant blast spread."We did it!' Mars exclaimed.

"That was a tough fight!" Jupiter remarked as the surroundings returned to normal...

"Look!" Mercury exclaimed as a swirling dark hole in reality appeared before them revealing a corridor beyond it. Mercury scanned it with her visor "I'm reading a spatial distortion of some sort. It looks like it connects to another dimension..."

"The Headquarters of The Death busters?!" Jupiter surmised.

"Let's go then." Ayeka declared firmly. The others nodded in agreement as they followed her through the hole.

Meantime Uranus lead her team through the darkened corridors of Muugen Academy. She and Neptune up front with Pluto right behind them and Kiyone and Mihoshi bringing up the rear. Mihoshi checked behind them nervously. "Kiyone I'm scared..."

"Mihoshi! Get a grip and be quiet! You're supposed to be a detective!" Kiyone whispered irritably to her partner.

Mihoshi nodded and looked eyes forward. "Aiyeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" She screamed as she spied the laughing figure in front of them. She clutched onto Kiyone who was very annoyed as she tried to pry Mihoshi off.

The man blinked then focused his gaze upon the three outer senshi. "Welcome Sailor Senshi."

"So you finally show yourself." Uranus replied calmly.

The laugh in the man's voice rose. "You are very fortunate to be able to participate in our ceremony that is about to begin." The lights behind him rose to illuminate the unconscious form of Mini Moon. The five women all gasped.

"Sailor Mini Moon!" Neptune cried out as Uranus furiously launched herself toward them only to be thrown back by a very powerful field of some kind. "Uranus!" Neptune ran to her in concern.

"Damn!" Uranus cursed.

"Uranus! Neptune!" Sailor Moon called as her group emerged from the corridor. "MINI MOON!"

"It seems you all made it in time." The Doctor smiled.

"Enough of the theatrics Doctor Tomoe!" Kiyone said angrily raising her blaster. "We know who you are!"

Tomoe laughed. "Kaorinite..." Tomoe's witch appeared holding Sasami's crystal.

"Yes. Soon the Messiah of Silence will awaken using the pure heart of this girl named Rini as her energy."

"Rini!" Sailor Moon ran and slammed into the same protective barrier as team mates rushed to check her.

"What about Sasami?! You fiend!" Tenchi yelled angrily as he sees the blazing crystal in Kaorinite's hand.

She laughed. "Ah yes! Imagine my surprise to find a second perfect heart crystal at the same time as the first... I will offer it to our Sovereign as she awakens."

"You'll be burning in hell first witch!" Ayeka growled as she used her force bubble to rise and fling herself at Kaorinite. Her bubble struck the shield and the two energies crackled as they met... The barrier seemed to buckle for a moment before Ayeka was thrown twenty meters back to the floor stunned.

Kaorinite laughed harshly.

Meantime on a throne seated behind the altar The form of Hotaru Tomoe stirred with eyes glowing red. Doctor Tomoe and Kaorinite turned to her in satisfaction and delight."The Messiah of Silence!"

"No! Stop it! Mini Moon!" Sailor Moon cried again trying to get through the barrier.

A tendril of energy rose from Hotaru's body toward the stricken Mini Moon who screamed as it plunged into her chest and pulled out her crystal. The Sovereign smiled as she sensed the energy.

"H.. Hotaru... I'm glad you're okay." Mini Moon spoke weakly as she saw only her friend. Then she collapsed. The transformation faded...

"This is horrible!" Sailor Moon cried in despair.

"Beautiful." Tomoe breathed with awe as he watched the Sovereign draw the crystal to herself. "A pure heart fit for the Sovereign of Silence."

"This is no good." Uranus said in fear. "If Saturn awakens then everything will be destroyed!"

"Hotaru stop!" Sailor Moon cried as the Sovereign opened her mouth to swallow the crystal. "Please stop this! If you're Hotaru's dad... If you love Hotaru...Please!"

"Love?" Tomoe asked as if amused.

The Sovereign swallowed the crystal...Hotaru's body transformed... Taller... Stronger... and with a black star upon her forehead.

"That's not Sailor Saturn!" Uranus exclaimed.

"Professor Washu was right." Neptune answered in agreement. "The Sovereign and Sailor Saturn are two completely different beings..."

"I am the Messiah of Silence... Mistress Nine." The figure introduced herself.

"Our victory Doctor Tomoe!" Kaorinite whispered to him.

"You have done well Kaorinite." He answered mildly as he continued to gaze upon their master.

"That thought from you is the greatest reward for me Professor."

Mistress Nine observed Kaorinite considering her. From deep inside her was an urge to destroy the woman... Crush her like an insect... Still as she prepared to dispose of her, the Sovereign sensed a powerful presence searching for them. "Kaorinite... Kneel before me."

Kaorinite did so and humbly offered Sasami's crystal to her.

Mistress Nine recieved it into her possession. "A very worthy gift Kaorinite... Its energy will serve both myself and my master well. Now I give you the reward that you have earned. Diamon Vindex come forth!"

A red humanoid shape creature appeared before them. "This is yours Kaorinite..." The Sovereign commanded. Kaorinite reached for it as it began to reach for her and then engulfed her. She screamed...

A minute later Kaorinite smiled with glowing feral red eyes. "We are one Mistress."

"Very good... We will now prepare for the next step."

"Yes!" Doctor Tomoe exclaims as The Sovereign unleashed a surge of energy that shattered the barrier around Rini. Sailor Moon ran to her and picked her up.

"Hurry!" Uranus shouted. "This dimension will collapse now!" They ran as the building shook and crumbled around them. They raced outside.

"There are students still inside!"" Mars shouted.

"We've evacuated everyone already!" Washu answered.

"Rini!" Tuxedo Mask exclaimed as he took her in his arms.

Washu scanned the child and nodded. "You can sustain her with your own energy much like Tsunami and Sasami... But only for so long... " She warned

Kiyone looked at Washu with a steeled resolve. "We need a plan and now!".
