Blueeyeddevil06, thank you for being my beta!

Elis hated how right he was about Beryl. Ever since his defeat at the hands of the Sailor Scouts and their lackeys, she was a complete bitch. The smug look she gave him when she found out about his failure made him want to choke the life out of her.

He was so frustrated by the whole situation that he spent his time plotting against Beryl rather than planning how to get energy for Metalia. He wanted her to pay for laughing at him.

He saw her walking down the hall towards him, and he was incensed by the amusement dancing in her eyes. He roared out and grabbed her by the throat, slamming her to the wall. He dug his fingernails into her and hissed into her ear, "I won't fail a second time, and you'll have to eat your words!" He then released her and brushed imaginary dust from himself.

She pressed her body against his and purred into his ears. "Too bad for you I don't fuck losers." She then walked away.

He smirked and called out, "I have a long line of other women who are more than happy to cum when I call."

Her laughter floated through the air, "Too bad for you that I'm the best lay you'll ever have."

He was furious with her, and he pivoted on the spot and made his way to the throne room, walked to the door behind the throne, and opened it up. He decided it was time to introduce himself to Metalia.

"Well, hello, Elis," he heard from the twisted energy in the center of the room.

He didn't bow. He refused to humble himself anymore. "I thought it was time we met. I'm working to bring down the Sailor Scouts, and I want to serve you well." He almost choked on the words 'serve you'.

The energy mass that was Metalia swirled and pulsed. "Interesting. You would rather align yourself with me than with Beryl. Why is that, I ask? Has she not pleased you?"

"Does it surprise you I prefer power over sex?"

She swirled a bit, then said, "Won't you get power with Beryl?"

"The power would be split three ways. If Beryl, who just sits around and doesn't do anything to really aid your cause, weren't in the equation, that means more for us." He thought about how that made one less entity to take out to get all the power to himself. He hoped Metalia would take care of Beryl for him.

Metalia's glowing purple energy pulsed more brightly. "I can spare you some extra power, Elis. It will enable you to enact your plans. Don't fail me. I'm relinquishing some of the power that has been collected to help me rise."

More power! He did bow now. She was giving him what he needed. She wasn't going to kill Beryl for him, but he would have access to more energy and dark power. That excited him. "I will serve you well."

"See that you do."

Mina and Kunzite both sighed in relief. They had a schedule worked out for when everyone was "on call." It had taken a lot longer than they expected since they both tried to factor in everyone's schedules. Finals time was a real bitch to work out.

"Do you think we have everything factored in?" Kunzite asked.

"If we don't, then it's up to them to switch and let us know. I think I'm cross-eyed from staring at this for so long."

She looked at Kunzite sadly, and he just knew what was bothering her. He said, "Once. We failed her once. And as much as I absolutely hate it too, this will be a good lesson for everyone. We won't make the same mistake again."

Mina sighed out, "I'd like to have a meeting with just the generals and the scouts. I want to stress that, while we have this schedule, I expect everyone to show up. I feel like this shows Darien doesn't quite believe in us enough to truly put our duties first."

"You see that too. Damn, I was hoping I was reading into that too much. I agree. If he really trusted us all, he wouldn't give us this out with being on call or not."

She cast her eyes to the floor. "I will be there every time, no matter what. I can't…" she teared up and sniffled. "So many horrible things happened because of us."

He locked eyes with her. "Never again. Breathe, Mina, we won't let it happen again, so don't get so worked up."

"You saw the crime reports. Someone died. How do I live-"

"Stop! This will only make it harder to move forward. We won't make the same mistake again and save lives because of what happened." He pulled her into his arms and kissed the top of her head. "It bothers me too. I just can't watch you beating yourself up over this."

"Shouldn't I?"

"Does it change what happened?"

"No."

"Then we resolve to do better, and that actually changes the future. I'll call the meeting for tonight. Darien has a study group, and Serena is hanging out with Molly. It will be perfect timing." He cupped her cheek and had her look up at him. "You know we're not the only ones feeling this way. You'll have everyone's support."

She let out a long sigh, "You're probably right."

"You'll see. We'll surprise Darien and Serena by all showing up every time. Soon we won't have to make a schedule."

She laughed, "Thank goodness. Because they're such a pain."

"Now, tonight, let's discuss a way to be more active with monitoring what's happening. It's a version of Raye's father. We should be able to track him somehow."

"We should have Amy and Zoisite track his cell phone."

"Brilliant, Mina. I'll call Zoisite now and put them on it before the meeting. We'll make progress by night time."

She smiled. "That will help."

Metalia roiled with excitement as she gave Elis more energy. The amount of Dark Energy he now had could only be placed in someone willing, and it bound to his soul. He was so thoroughly tainted that she could feel him.

When he left the room, his skin crackled with energy as it settled into him and sank into his very being. It felt incredibly refreshing.

He searched out Beryl and found her in her room. He leered at her and strode towards her. "It's time for hate sex."

She glared at him. "What makes you think I'd let you touch me again?!"

He grabbed her by the arm and glared at her, "You'd really deny me!"

She spat in his face. "Yes. Fuck off, El!"

He snarled at her and threw her on the bed. "I really have no use for you now. Bad move on your part!" He then turned as he opened the door to the room. He turned back to her and said, "I don't force women, but," and here he smiled, "I'm willing to pay for sex. And what I want right now, it's going to take a lot of money. This will be fun. Just know I'm out there fucking three women at a time."

He then walked out and slammed the door. He'd kill her soon. Right now, with the dark energy surging through him, he was so horny he was sure he had enough stamina for what he told Beryl. His energy felt endless.

Before leaving D Point, he had three women scheduled to show up at his place, all red heads. He felt the dark energy crackling through his skin again. It got him so hard.

That night as he fucked the women over and over, having them pleasure him, he felt like a king again. He was back in control. He was the one in charge again. He was the one with all the power. He was getting exactly what he wanted.

He also had six boobs he could play with. He had a wonderful time, and his stamina was beyond superhuman. He decided he'd figure out a way to kill Beryl and then bring the three whores back to D point to play with whenever he felt like it. He was sure they'd be excited to be the plaything of the man who would rule the whole universe soon. He smiled, thinking of them begging him to keep them and take whatever he wanted from them.

When he returned to D Point, he made his way to Beryl's room and threw open the door. He watched her startle awake, and he smirked. "You've lost, and you don't even know it yet."

"Poor girls had to put up with you and your inflated ego."

He smirked, "Jealous?"

She scoffed, "I pictured your son every time you fucked me. You were never what I wanted. Not then, not now." She then slapped him.

Rage burned in his eyes. "You said you killed him!" He snarled.

"I did. I was trying to kill Serenity. I was crushed when he died. I want him."

He grabbed her throat again. She rolled her eyes despite not being able to breathe. "You've underestimated me," he hissed. He then tried to cut off her air supply completely. He wanted her dead now.

Her body pulsed with a wave of energy knocking him back, and he hit his butt on the ground hard. She then laughed. "You forget I have power."

He got up and tried to grab her again, but she was as slippery as an eel and she evaded him every time. "Sucks to know I let you choke me every time, doesn't it?!"

He was tired of looking like a fool. He promised himself then and there he would figure out how to end her life soon. He hated her with an intense passion. Her death at his hands had become his new obsession.
