Chapter 20: Chaos of Light and Darkness! Sailor Saturn Awakens!

Elsewhere...

"Our Messiah of Silence..." Tomoe declared. "How are you feeling today?"

"My head feels a little heavy." the Hotaru-look alike masquerade replied. "Hurry up and give me a perfect 'Pure Heart'."

"I understand." Tomoe replied. "I need to take perfect 'Pure Hearts' from humans and transfer them into energy for your awakening."

Mistress' Nine's body nodded.

In his laboratory...

"As you can see, cormorants dive underwater to catch fish and keep the fish deep in their throats." Tomoe started his lesson. "'Ukai' is a fishing method using this trait of these birds and we will use this method as reference in getting 'Pure Heart s' from now on. First, we approach the target and release the Daimon. The Daimon will swallow the 'Pure Heart' and come back to me. Then, I will make it spit out the 'Pure Heart'. It is a very safe yet effective method. Mimete!" he threw the cormorant model at the Witch. "Are my lectures that boring?"

"Um..." Mimete stammered.

"To bring such things into your workplace." Tomoe picked up the two photos of Yosaku Eda. "It's nice following trends and all, but it is troubling if you forget your work. Do you have clues as to where the 'Pure Hearts' are in the first place?"

"Of course, Professor." Mimete replied. "I have already found someone with a heart of amazing purity."

"I see." Tomoe noted. "Then, I shall sit back and see how you work, Mimete. Mercury isn't the true Messiah, anyway. When the time comes, the 'Grail' will choose its own user."

"In other words, we must awaken the Messiah of Silence first." Mimete reasoned.

"That is correct, Mimete." Tomoe announced.

"Western!" the Daimon cried as she was created.

A disguised Mimete grabbed the suitcase and headed out.

In a departmental store...

Celebrities who show dreams to their fans must have hearts that are purer than most. Mimete mused, exiting from the fire escape. I will use the energy to awaken our Messiah!

In the Hikawa Shrine...

"If the correct person gets a hold of the 'Grail', the world will be filled by a divine light, and evil of all sorts will be crushed." Setsuna informed the girls. "However, if evil hands gets a hold of the 'Grail', the entire world will be ruled by darkness and the age of shadows will begin. If that happens, the future will change as well, of course."

Then, that foretelling dream...! Rei realized what her dream meant.

"Suna-nee-chan, you came from the future to tell us about that, right?" Ami reasoned.

"Yes." Setsuna replied. "Well, I'll be going now." she stood up.

"Eh?" Usagi whined. "Why?"

"We have already found the 'Messiah of Light'." Setsuna replied.

"Wait a minute!" Usagi protested as Setsuna walked out. Stepping out of the room, she blinked when Setsuna was nowhere to be found. "Oh man, she could have told us a lot more stuff." she pouted.

"Don't ask for too much." Luna chided.

"Suna-nee-chan has always been like that." Ami reasoned. "She has all sorts of reasons of her own."

"But, you know..." Usagi whined.

"But, I was surprised." Makoto looked at Ami. "Ami is the Messiah Uranus and Neptune were looking for!"

"Ami can't be the Messiah!" Usagi protested loudly.

"Usagi!" Minako scolded. "You saw what she did, right?"

"But Setsuna said that evil of all sorts will be crushed, right?" Usagi retorted. "Mercury didn't destroy our enemy, so she can't be the Messiah! I'm the Moon Princess, so I'm the Messiah! Hand the 'Grail' over!" she demanded.

"Hello!" Chibi-Usa called, cutting off the argument. "Hey, where's Puu?"

"Setsuna left, saying she had something to do." Usagi replied, still stung by Ami's refusal to return the 'Grail' to the rightful Messiah, namely her.

"Darn, I was planning on going to the park with her." Chibi-Usa sighed.

"Hey, no way!" Usagi blinked, realizing Chibi-Usa's intent. "I can't! I have no time for that now!"

"Darn!" Chibi-Usa pouted.

"Chibi-Usa, which park were you planning to go to?" Makoto asked.

"Jubaan Natural Park." Kore answered her mother's question.

"Then, I'll take you there!" Minako offered.

"Really?" Chibi-Usa beamed.

"Mom, come on..." Psyche sighed.

"Minako, we're in the middle of an important discussion, right?" Usagi reminded.

"Usagi, don't say that." Minako pleaded. "You sound like Ami."

"Minako, what is in that park?" Ami thought to ask.

"Minako!" Usagi glared.

"Oh, alright, I'll confess!" Minako relented. "Actually, there's a firming for a Yosaku Eda movie there today."

"Firming a Yosaku Eda movie?" Usagi gushed. "Amazing! Chibi-Usa, I'll go along with you."

"You know..." Chibi-Usa sweatdropped.

"Yosaku Eda, huh..." Makoto blushed. "He's so cool, it's a little like him..."

"See, see?" Minako urged. "Don't you want to see the real thing?"

"Okay, that's it!" Usagi decided. "You're coming with us, right Rei?"

"Well, I guess I can go along." Rei remarked.

"Alright, hey, let's go, Ami!" Usagi prodded.

"Alright, let's go." Ami sighed.

"Even Ami..." Luna sweatdropped.

"You guys aren't being serious." Artemis protested.

"We need to change our pace ever so often." Ami reasoned. "I think it's better than worrying about something and not getting anything done."

"That's right." Minako agreed. "And studying in the great wilderness might help us learn too."

"Oh no." Ami corrected. "I thought we were going there to have fun."

"Oh?" Minako sweatdropped.

"Alright, let's all go to Jubaan Natural Park." Usagi urged.

"Yeah!" the girls whooped.

"Oh boy..." Luna sighed.

In Jubaan Natural Park...

"Yosaku Eda is filming the movie 'The Akafuji Gunman' on location today. Mimete arrived on scene. "That must be it. Yosaku is..." she scanned the area with her binoculars. "There, that's him! He really is handsome... Yosaku..." she blushed. "Before I abduct his 'Pure Heart' and kill him, I should at least have him eat a handmade cake. Yosaku!" she ran to her idol.

"What are you doing, approaching Yosaku like that?" a fan glared at Mimete, having caused her to fall to the ground when they stood before her. "Yosaku is in the middle of very important work right now."

"It's distracting to see you in such an outfit loitering around her." one of her groupies added.

"Yeah, really." the second groupie agreed.

"All I wanted to do is to have him eat a handmade cake." Mimete replied.

"A cake?" the head of the groupie mocked. "Ha! Yosaku hates sweet stuff!" and stomped on the cakes. "Even ants won't touch a cake like that! Right?"

"Yeah!" one of the groupie agreed. "This this as your lesson and don't get near Yosaku!"

"My cake..." Mimete knelt by the demolished cake box.

"What's wrong?" Yosaku asked. "Those girls were my fans, right?"

"Oh..." Mimete stammered. "No..."

"Lately, they've been rather abrasive." Yosaku noted. "This cake... was it actually for me?"

"Yes..." Mimete replied.

"You took the time to bake it, but it all went to waste." Yosaku remarked. "It's delicious." he took a lick at the icing. "Thanks." he bade Mimete farewell as he went back to work. "See ya."

"Stay and watch for a while." Yumi offered.

Yosaku... they said that he didn't like sweets. Mimete gushed. It's love! This must be love! Yosaku... he must have fallen deeply in love with me at first glance! But... I am destined to take your 'Pure Heart' and kill you. I'm sure it's tough for you, but give up on this romance...

"Don't come any closer!" Yumi said her lines. "You're going into another fight anyway. If you're going to leave me alone, don't come after me!"

"I won't leave you all alone!" Yosaku gripped her shoulders, playing his part and pulled her into a hug.

"Joe..." Yumi returned the hug.

"Oh... how handsome..." Usagi gushed.

"Yosaku..." Mimete peered from the crowd. "If I steal your 'Pure Heart', this movie will remain incomplete. But I won't forget. I will engrave your last performance into my eyes!"

"The hat that Ikuko-mama brought for me!" Chibi-Usa ran after her runaway hat, the wind baring it off her head as she jumped up and down to get a better view. "Someone catch it! It's an important hat!"

"Wait!" Hotaru got up from the bench and ran after the hat.

By the river...

"Here." she handed the hat to Chibi-Usa, having caught it by a river bank.

"Thank you." Chibi-Usa beamed.

"I'm glad it didn't fall into the river." Hotaru remarked.

"Are you alright?" Chibi-Usa asked, seeing Hotaru wincing.

"It's just another seizure." Hotaru replied. "Don't worry."

"But..." Chibi-Usa blinked.

"It'll be over... in a minute." Hotaru assured. "I'm alright now." she replied, catching her breath.

"I'm glad." Chibi-Usa noted. "I know! Do you want to play with me? I'm Chibi-Usa!"

"I'm Hotaru." Hotaru returned the greeting.

At the set...

"Al right, time for a break." the director declared.

I should at least get an autograph before I kill him. Mimete peered from the dispersing crowd. Yosaku... she found him by a lake with Yumi.

"Is it alright?" Yumi asked as Yosaku pulled her into a kiss. "In a place like this..."

"We don't have time to see each other unless it's sometime like this, right?" Yosaku reminded.

"That's true." Yumi agreed.

Yosaku... Mimete was stunned. He has me, and yet... how dare he! In that case...

"Appear, Daimon!" she opened the suitcase.

"U-Western!" the Daimon manifested.

Commercial Break

A massive Angel can be seen crawling towards Tokyo-3. Suddenly, a barrage of missiles stops it, and it looks around. But instead of an EVA, the Deathscythe is standing there, daring it to attack.

SailorStar9: The Earth's future is at stake, and there's only one last hope left...

Near the two massive robots, Misato can be seen standing on top of a building and watching the battle.

Misato: (Relena-screech) SHIIIINJIIIII!

SailorStar9: Shin Seiki Evangundam. We're SO doomed.

End Commercial Break.

"Run!" Yosaku pulled his secret girlfriend away.

"Yosaku really is after that woman!" Mimete growled. "U-Western, take Yosaku's 'Pure Heart'!"

"Hi-yo, Silver!" the Daimon climbed onto her horse-headed pogo stick."U-Western, U-Western, U-Western, U-Western! Hi-yo!" she chased after the couple.

"Help us!" Yosaku fled back to the set, the trio passing by Chibi-Usa and Hotaru.

"What's going on?" the workers turned.

"Bang!" U-Western fired her shotgun. "Bang!"

"I haven't paid you back for the cake yet." Mimete grinned at the irritated fangirls, U-Western having driven the workers off with her paint. "U-Western, make sure you take good care of those girls!"

"Bang!" U-Western fired her shotgun. "Bang! Bang!"

"Oh my god!" the groupies were bombarded by the paint. "Help!"

What should I do? Chibi-Usa wondered as chaos ran amok. I can't transform in front of Hotaru.

In a thicket...

"Wow, Mako-chan's box lunch!" Usagi gushed.

"But how far did Chibi-Usa go to play?" Ami wondered as Usagi dug in.

"It's rather rowdy." Usagi noted as the set workers fled.

"Is break over already?" Minako wondered.

"That's..." Makoto gasped as U-Western hopped by.

"A Daimon!" Rei finished.

"Everyone, let's transform!" Minako gave the order.

At the set...

"U-Western, that's enough!" Mimete climbed onto the director's seat. "Hurry up and take Yosaku's 'Pure Heart'!"

"Okay!" U-Western replied. "U-Western!"

"Hold it right there!" Moon declared. "Interrupting the shooting of a fun movie for people, an outlaw chasing after innocent people with a gun! Even if Wyatt Earp forgives you, we won't forgive you! In the name of the moon..."

"We'll punish you!" the Senshi chorused.

"Shut up!" Mimete snapped. "U-Western, get them!"

"Yeah! U-Western!" the Daimon reared up her pogo stick

"Leave it to me!" Venus declared. "Venus Light... Comet!" she pointed her arm up and a thin light beam shot from it, the light expanding in mid-air and forming a massive light ball, which crashed to the ground right in front of her.

"Bang!" U-Western fired her shot gun. "Bang! Bang!" the shots smashing through the light ball.

"The attack doesn't work?" Mars was stunned when Venus' attack fell apart. "'Leave it to me' indeed!"

"It's different from previous Daimons." Mercury surmised.

"U-Western, now's your chance!" Mimete laughed.

"U-Western!" the Daimon tossed a horse shot at Yosaku, only to have Yumi intercept.

"Yumi!" Yosaku gasped at his fallen lover. "Dammit!" eh cursed as the Daimon grabbed his shoulders. After several failed attempts to kiss him, the Daimon contended by sucking air in and drawing out his 'Heart Crystal'.

"You're kidding..." Moon gaped as the Daimon swallowed the 'Heart Crystal'.

"She ate it!" Venus twitched.

"Well done, U-Western!" Mimete cheered. "Let's go back to the Professor now!"

"Yeah! U-Western!" the Daimon agreed.

"Uranus Deadly Twister!"

"Neptune Flood Gate!" Uranus' and Neptune's watery hurricane blasted the Daimon.

"Mars..." Dragon Mars reached his right hand forwards, a ball of fire forming in front of it. "Inferno..." The ball grew about 4 feet tall as it took a claw-like shape, then shot forwards at the Daimon's back. "CLAW!"

"That's what I call a backstab." Mars grinned at her male counterpart. "My turn! Mars Magma Flood!"

The combined fire attack forced the Daimon to spit out the 'Heart Crystal'.

"What?" Mimete glared.

"Guided by a new era, Sailor Uranus acts with elegance!" Uranus introduced.

"Sailor Neptune acts with grace!" Neptune finished.

That's it! Mimete looked at the two hiding girls. "U-Western, grab those kids!"

The Daimon let her lasso loose.

"Look out!" Chibi-Usa pushed Hotaru away, getting herself get caught.

"Chibi-Usa!" Hotaru gasped.

"U-Western!" the Daimon reeled the child in.

"Chibi-Usa!" the girls gasped.

"Don't move until we're far, far away!" Mimete warned, jumping off the director's seat. "If you move even just a little bit, this girl... Well... I don't care what happens!"

"Chibi-Usa..." Hotaru muttered in worry, causing the Saturn symbol to appear on her forehead.

"Chornos Typhoon!" Pluto's energy ball burnt the rope off.

"Puu!" Chibi-Usa beamed as Pluto came into the scene.

"Saturn..." Pluto looked at the awakening Senshi in the bushes.

"Saturn Eternal Power, Make Up!" Hotaru grabbed her 'Eternal' 'Lip Rod' and transformed.

"Summoned by the 'Jinsei no Tenshi', I am the Senshi of Death, Destruction and Rebirth, Sailor Saturn." Saturn announced, poising with her Silence Glaive and wasted no time in summoning an attack. "Saturn..." she raised her staff in the air. "Death..." death energy rippled out of the glaive's tip. "Wave!" she ended the attack. In a blink, the energy wave clashed into the Daimon. When the attack was complete, the Daimon fell to the ground, head-first. Saturn smiled. She had not killed the Daimon, just weakened her enough to...

"Rainbow Moon Heart Ache!"

"Lovely!" the Daimon squealed as Moon's final attack clashed into her. The Daimon Egg fell out of the gun and split into half, leaving behind the 'Heart Crystal'.

"I'll get you for this!" Mimete turned tail and fled, surrounded by the nine 'Eternal'-level Senshi.

"What was that?" Jupiter wondered.

"It seems like our new enemy." Mercury mused. "Bu the way," she turned to Uranus and Neptune. "Why aren't you using your talismans?"

"We forgot?" Uranus grinned.

"I'm glad." Moon remarked, returning Yosaku's 'Heart Crystal' to him.

"But why are they still after 'Pure Hearts'?" Jupiter wondered.

"Chibi-Usa." Saturn looked at the pink-haired girl as she reversed her transformation.

"Hotaru." Chibi-Usa ran to the newly revealed Senshi. "Ouch!" she fell to the ground.

"Chibi-Usa!" Hotaru gasped. "Oh no! You're hurt! I'm sorry it was because you covered for me."

"It's just a scratch." Chibi-Usa assured. "I'm alright."

"Let me take a look at it." Hotaru offered and used her healing power on Chibi-Usa's wound.

"Amazing!" Chibi-Usa gushed when her wound closed.

"Everyone in my class is scared of this." Hotaru admitted. "And they won't come close to me. It really is creepy, to have powers like this."

"That's not true." Chibi-Usa protested. "It's wonderful! It really is!"

"Really?" Hotaru blinked.

"Yeah!" Chibi-Usa nodded.

"Thank..." Hotaru started, before she winced.

"Are you alright, Hotaru?" Chibi-Usa gasped.

"I'm alright..." Hotaru replied weakly.

"Hey, Hotaru...?" Chibi-Usa stated. "Hold it together, Hotaru!"

"Chibi-Usa, let me." Mercury took over. "Hotaru, hold on for a moment." she requested. "Guess I wasn't thorough enough yesterday."she revealed the 'Holy Grail'. The cover opened and bathed the two Senshi in its purifying light, washing away the remaining dark energy that inhabited Hotaru's body.

In front of the Tomoe household...

"I'm sorry to make you worry." Hotaru apologized.

"It's really alright." Chibi-Usa assured.

"Oh, it's Papa." Hotaru looked at her father who had came to welcome her home.

"Is that you, Hotaru?" Tomoe asked. "What happened? I was so worried because you were so late."

"I just had a seizure." Hotaru explained. "Papa, this is Chibi-Usa. She walked me all the way home."

"I see." Tomoe remarked. "Thank you, Chibi-Usa."

"See ya." Chibi-Usa bade her new friend farewell.

"Can I see you again?" Hotaru asked.

"Yeah!" Chibi-Usa nodded. "We're already friends!"

"Friends..." Hotaru echoed.

"I'm happy for you, Hotaru." Tomoe commented.

"Papa..." Hotaru smiled.

"Well, see you later." Chibi-Usa waved farewell and headed back.

"See you!" Hotaru waved back.

"Come visit us again." Tomoe called. "We'll be waiting for you!"

"Sure!" Chibi-Usa beamed. I want to see my papa too...

"Good night, Papa." Hotaru told her father as she prepared to go to bed.

"Good night, Hotaru." Tomoe shut the door.

Putting on his lab coat, he entered his underground laboratory, reverting back to his crazed Professor Tomoe self.

SailorStar9: Now that's done, read and review. In the next chapter, Usagi discovers that Kaorinite is alive and posing as Tomoe's maid. Does Hotaru have anything to do with the Messiah?
