Chapter 34: Wiseman's Wrath

"Demando, I need to talk to you now." Sapphir said as he stormed into the throne room.

"What's wrong, brother?"

"The Wiseman's plan, it's all a trap." Sapphir said.

"What do you mean?" Demando asked.

"I tried to contact our Crystal Tokyo base today, but they didn't respond." Sapphir noted. "I know this may sound crazy, but that Shadow Crystal is the cause."

"Hmm... I really don't know how that could be possible." Demando said.

"Think about it." Sapphir said. "Queen Serenity from Crystal Tokyo was the one that banished our ancestors from the Earth in the 21st. Century."

"I know that."

"So, if we defeat the 20th. century Sailor Moon, who will one day become Queen Serenity from Crystal Tokyo..."

"Our ancestors would have never been banished, and they would have never colonized Nemesis..." Demando added following Sapphir's train of thoughts. "But that means..."

"The Dark Moon family, the war, the rabbit escaping to the past... None of this would have happened." Sapphir said.

"But the Wiseman himself is a Nemesian..." Demando noted.

"We don't really know for sure. Have you ever seen his face?" Sapphir asked.

"You're right. So, he's trying to destroy the Senshi for some reason..." Demando said.

"I guess we should go and ask him." Sapphir said. Demando simply nodded.

The Senshi were standing atop a building near the Tokyo Tower. The Tower was half covered by a black crystal that was growing larger with every second. "What the hell is that?" Sailor Moon asked.

"It's feeding from the dark mana in the city." Sailor Mercury explained. "It looks like the five other crystals had a residual effect, and this one's collecting all the dark energy that generated in the city after they were placed in the five points."

"I don't know what the Dark Moon's planning now, but we must stop them." Sailor Moon said.

"You'll stop no one, Senshi." Black Lady said materializing in front of them "Your time has run out."

"Chibi-Usa..." Sailor Moon said.

"Chibi-Usa doesn't exist anymore. All there is now is Black Lady."

"I don't believe you."

"Suits you." Black Lady muttered and shot a pink energy blast at the group. They all dodged but realized there wasn't too much space for a fight in the rooftop they were standing in. "You can't dodge forever, Senshi!" Black Lady exclaimed and chuckled.

Kunzite frowned, "Then let's take this battle to a lower ground. Teleport!"

Black Lady frowned as the group vanished, "Hmmm... I can still sense their presence." She floated down from the rooftop and landed on the street right in front of the Senshi. "No matter where we fight, I'll still defeat you."

"Chibi-Usa, please listen to me. You are not like this, you're a cute little girl with a kind heart." Sailor Moon pleaded.

"Shut up!" Black Lady snapped and shot an energy blast aimed at Moon's chest. A rose fled by the blast's path and deflected it.

"She's just trying to distract us. Demando and his minions are probably on the tower." Endymion noted.

"Demando?" Black Lady muttered with a chuckle. "That fool was just a puppet for us."

"Us?" Sailor Moon asked.

Black Lady grinned in a wicked way, "Yes, the Wiseman needs this planet's mana to become stronger. Once the Shadow Crystal is fully formed, it'll drain the mana from the Earth's core itself."

"But wouldn't that be dangerous?" Sailor Mercury asked.

Black Lady grinned, "The Wiseman is an eternal being. He will survive the Earth's destruction and then he will conquer this whole galaxy. "

"Gee, thinking big ain't we?" Sailor Jupiter muttered.

"But enough talking. I must eliminate you so our plan can succeed. " Black Lady said and shot another energy wave. The Senshi dodged it once again. "You are so pathetic." Black Lady laughed.

"I scanned her, she's got more power than before." Sailor Mercury replied. "The Wiseman surely upgraded her as he did with the others."

"Okay, then. Attack! Moon Princess Flash!"

"Burning Mandala!"

"Shabon Spray Freeze!"

"Supreme Thunder!"

"Crescent Storm!"

"Earth Sword Blast!"

"Light Sniper!"

"Freeze Brid!"

"Stardust Fall!"

The attacks hit Black Lady, but she just turned to look at the Senshi and grinned, "Is that it?"

"Gee... I'd say she's a wee bit stronger than before." Sailor Jupiter muttered.

Ail and Ann materialized in front of the group. "Need some help?" Two energy balls, one green and the other pink, blasted into Black Lady. She just shrugged the attacks off. "Well, I guess this girl's stronger than the Ayakashi." Ail noted.

Ann turned to the Senshi, "You go beat their boss, we'll take care of this one."

Sailor Moon nodded, "But we want her alive."

Ann rose an eyebrow, then nodded, "Okay. Just beat the other creeps and we'll keep her busy."

Sailor Moon nodded again as the Senshi run towards the tower.

"Okay, now how do we get up there?" Sailor Mars asked looking up at the massive tower covered by the dark crystal.

"As usual..." Kunzite muttered "Teleport!"

"Gee, thanks for the warning..." Sailor Jupiter muttered. They were now standing on top of the tower.

Kunzite noticed the cloaked man standing in the center of the roof and rose an eyebrow, "Look, it's the sage of the tower."

"Can it, Kunzite." Sailor Venus muttered.

Wiseman looked at the Senshi, "It seems like I'll have to get rid of you meddlesome kids myself."

"You should watch the news, buddy. Don't you know what happened to the last evil aliens that tried to trash this tower?" Sailor Jupiter snapped.

"Release Chibi-Usa and get out of this planet and we will spare your life." Sailor Moon glared.

"Brave words, Sailor Moon... also your last ones." Wiseman charged up for an attack, a black aura surrounded him as he reached his hands out.

Sailor Mercury looked at him through her visor and shouted, "RUN!"

"Teleport!"

Wiseman powered down and sighed, "They could make it easy for me and stay where they were so I could blast them... But now their deaths will be slow and painful."

Back at ground level, the Senshi reappeared near the tower. Kunzite fell to his knees.

"Are you okay?" Sailor Venus asked.

"Yeah, but all that teleporting drained me." Kunzite said.

"Sorry but his power was just too high. If he'd hit us with that attack we'd be all dead." Sailor Mercury explained.

"Here he comes." Sailor Jupiter noted looking up.

"Get ready." Endymion said.

A pink energy blast hissed by Sailor Moon's head. She turned around and saw Black Lady walking towards them, "Uh oh..."

"Those humans two plant guys won't wake up for a while." Black Lady commented.

"Black Lady, It is time for us to get rid of the Senshi." Wiseman hissed floating down to her side.

Black Lady nodded, "Indeed..."

Just then, Demando and Sapphir teleported into the scene. "Wiseman!"

"Prince Demando, Prince Sapphir..." Wiseman hissed. "What's wrong?"

"You fooled us, Wiseman. This whole scheme of yours is going to get us killed along with the Senshi and the Earth." Demando noted with a glare.

"So you finally realized that." Wiseman chuckled. "A pity, now I'll have to kill you." Wiseman sent a massive energy blast at the two princes.

Demando blocked the attack with an energy shield and glared at Wiseman "You shouldn't underestimate me. I am Demando, Prince and leader of Nemesis, my power is above yours."

Wiseman laughed evilly, "It may have been true before, dear prince. But now, the Shadow Crystal is feeding me with evil energy as we speak. That attack I used was just for warming up."

"Your scheme ends here!" Demando shouted. He sent a massive beam of energy at Wiseman. Sapphir followed suit and both beams fused into one.

Wiseman grinned, "Fools." He shot an energy beam, both beams tried to win terrain on each other but they soon reached a stalemate.

"Give up, Wiseman, you cannot win." Demando snapped.

"Sailor Mercury?" Moon asked.

"For what I can see, both sides have the same power levels. But Wiseman still has Black Lady with him."

Black Lady, however, didn't help Wiseman. Instead she turned to face the Senshi and grinned evilly, "Since my master's getting rid of the trash, I should do the same thing." She started charging up, energy crackling around her body as she closed her eyes.

Sailor Mercury paled as she looked at the readings, "Impossible..."

"What's wrong?" Sailor Mars asked.

"Black Lady... her power is above Wiseman's level. And, there's traces of the Ginzuishou's energy in her." Sailor Mercury commented.

"But that's..." Sailor Jupiter started.

"When we were in the future, Neo-King Endymion told us the Ginzuishou had vanished when Small Lady tried to use it." Kunzite noted. "Maybe it somehow fused with her?"

"That's a quite weird theory, but maybe it's just what happened." Sailor Mercury admitted "In any case, we must prepare to counter her attack."

Black Lady reached both hands out and a massive pink energy blast shot from her and barreled towards the Senshi.

"Counter now!" Sailor Moon shouted "Selene Laser!"

"Burning Mandala!"

"Snow Barrage!"

"Stun Spark!"

"V-Laser Blast!"

"Freeze Brid!"

"Wisp Ray!"

"Dirt Missile!"

The eight attacks crashed into Black Lady's energy blast, but only slowed it down. The blast was still strong enough to send all the Senshi flying back a few blocks.

"This can't be happening." Sailor Moon muttered weakly.

"Oh, but it is happening." Black Lady said with a chuckle and prepared to blast them again. She then looked up and frowned "The Wiseman needs me." With that, she went floating up to the tower.

"We must go up there and stop them." Sailor Moon said. "Okay team, let's finish this battle!" she urged. The Senshi all leapt into the helicopter and it took off towards the tower.
