~*~*~ Eye of the Midnight Storm ~*~*~

By: Rogue Angel Barton

Hey! Sup?! How did you guys like the last chapter? It was okay I guess from the reviews I got. The only reason I was asking for reviews was because I was kind of doubting stories. It doesn't happen often but when it happens, please bear with me. All right then, I've taken up enough time. I don't own Gundam or Sailor Moon. Enjoy the story... and remember REVIEWING IS NOT A CRIME!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Heero walked through the great halls of the mansion. He was late, again. Walking like a dark shadow through the back hallways, he made a right turn. He stopped before a door and frowned. Another meeting, and then the hunt.

Heero turned the knob and was met by silence. He frowned deeply; there was never silence when he entered the room. Concern filled him as he looked at the other figures in room.

"Heero, you're late."

Heero looked at the tall figure leaning against the wall. He nodded his greeting and the answer while the stranger nodded at him. Heero walked the smiling figure sitting in the chair. A smile on his face... as usual.

"Heero, we were worried about you."

"Sorry Quatre, I had a project at school."

Quatre smiled at Heero. A figure in the far corner snorted.

"I still don't understand why you insist upon returning to school Heero."

Heero glared at the figure. The figure shrugged and sat down on the couch.

"I've said before Wufei, I choose to go back to school. Now keep quiet."

Wufei growled but kept his mouth shut. The last figure smiled at Heero. He walked out of the shadows and placed a hand on Heero's shoulder.

"Now now Heero, calm down. We just don't understand your choice that's all."

Heero brushed the stranger's hand off his shoulder. He walked over to the window and pulled open the curtains. The silver moonlight exploded into the room and chased away the darkness. The stranger backed off.

"Heero...."

"Keep quiet Maxwell. We don't have time for these petty arguments. We need to turn to the real important matter."

Wufei looked confused.

"And what might that be?"

"The slayer and her huntresses."

"What's so important about them?"

Heero snapped back to Wufei and glared at him.

"Fool, you've never seen them. They are powerful, unlike the slayers of the past. They are... rather impressive."

Wufei smiled.

"Wow, you've given someone a compliment. They must be impressive then. But the other slayers have been disappointing. How are you so sure that these will live up to your expectations?"

"Heero has never been wrong, and each time, the results have lived up to his expectations. Besides I have seen them, so have Quatre. They are what Heero says."

Quatre nodded, joining in on the conversation.

"These girls are powerful, although they are slightly inexperienced. Trust me Wufei, they will not be disappointing."

"I still do not believe you."

The last one stood and smiled at Wufei.

"Come on then, you'll see them for yourself. They should be out hunting by now."

Wufei nodded. Suddenly, a cloud blocked the moon and the room was thrown into darkness once more. The cloud soon moved and the room was flooded with light. The five boys were replaced by the five hooded figures of the Supreme Gods.

^^^^^^^^

Hotaru yawned. It was so boring. It was already 12 and not a single thing. Were the vamps on good behavior today? Not likely. Snorting slightly, Hotaru caught up to the others.

"Hotaru, don't be disappointed that it's a quiet night. We all need a vacation."

Hotaru peered from under her hood at the light blue cloaked figure walking be her side. She noticed that the girl was holding herself differently.

"Ami, you guys don't need to come with me. You all can go home."

Makoto, dressed in a dark green cloak walked up next to Hotaru and frowned at her. Hotaru could tell she was not pleased.

"I don't know if you've noticed but we're not going to leave you alone. Especially since you are grounded after all."

Hotaru pouted despite her attempts not to. Grounded... damn it!

"There's something out here."

All eight figures turned to the right. Suddenly, sixteen vampires jumped out of the shadows. All the girls smiled. Finally, some action.

"Alright girl, fun time!"

Hotaru jumped toward with her glaive drawn and ready for fun. She cut off the head of the first two vamp. Haruka jumped up behind Hotaru and started to fight the second vamp. After a few seconds, she pulled out a stake and killed off the vamp. Her dark golden cloak blew in the wind.

Ami ran toward with her sword drawn. She slashed a vamp on the chest, kicked it, and then without a thought chopped off the head. Makoto grabbed the vamp that came at her and tossed him over her head. He slammed into the tombstone and with a smirk, Makoto dusted him with a stake.

Michiru, in the aquamarine cloak, fought the vamp for a few seconds. Having enough, Michiru dusted him. Minako flew into action behind Makoto. She smiled as she drew her crossbow and shot the wooden arrow into a vamp's heart.

Rei ducked as a big vamp tried to take her head off. He threw punch after punch at her, all of which she easily blocked. Rei dropped her to knees and swept the vamp off his feet. She pushed off and soared five feet into the air. As she landed on the vamp, she pulled out her stake and dusted it.

Setsuna had her staff out and hit two vamps in the head. She quickly pulled off the top ornament, which revealed a sharp blade. With a single smooth movement, she cut off the vamps' heads. Hotaru flipped over the head of another vamp. She kicked him on the back of the head and he slammed into a tomb stone. Another vamp caught her and slammed her into the other one. The bigger vamp grabbed her as the other came charging at her. Suddenly it turned to dust, revealing Makoto with a stake.

Hotaru smiled and snapped her head backwards. The vamp holding her backed off, holding his head. It turned to dust a metal blade decapitated it. Ami stood on the tombstone, smiling at Hotaru.

Rei, Minako, Haruka, Michiru and Setsuna stood, surrounding the last four vamps. The four vampires cowered in fear. Haruka smirked.

"Tell your boss, whoever it is, not to mess with us."

Haruka leapt inside and staked a vamp. Michiru drew a short dagger and cut off the head of another one. Minako headed for another vamp. She fought with him for a second, before staking him.

"Go, tell your boss."

The last vampire fled from the circle. Hotaru, Ami and Makoto walked to the others.

"Rei?"

Rei turned to the slayer.

"Wouldn't it give a clearer message if none survived?"

Rei smiled as she drew her bow from no where. Carefully taking aim, she pulled the string back.

"Yes, it would."

Without another thought, she let the arrow fly.

"AHHHH!!!!!!!"

The scream died down as the vamp turned to dust, and the arrow embedded itself in a nearby tree.

"So Dragon, what do you think?"

"Impressive, they really are. However I am not convinced that they are what you claim."

Soldier snorted. Silence shook his head. Prince frowned. Shinigami shook his head as well.

"Dragon, we just sent 16 men after them. They don't even have a scratch on them!"

"Well there are 8 of them. Safety in numbers remember?"

Soldier leaned against the tree.

"You wish to test them one by one?"

Dragon nodded. Silence shook his head.

"Lose too many vamps that way."

Soldier shrugged.

"They're not our vamps."

Prince frowned as they followed the girls.

"Treize will not be happy with us."

Shinigami laughed.

"It doesn't matter what Treize likes. He doesn't dare do a thing."

"Just his henchmen."

Soldier and Silence laughed as Shinigami grinned. They watched as the girls kept walking.

"They would not find any more prey."

Prince nodded. Dragon walked towards them. Silence caught up with the stubborn dragon.

"You wish to test them yourself?"

"Yes Silence, I do."

Soldier paused. The group turned to him puzzled.

"You will go alone."

"Soldier, that's not good for Dragon. He'll be at a disadvantage."

"No matter, the huntresses shall not be dishonorable about it. They will allow one member to face off Dragon. Now, the rest of us back to the shadows. Dragon, you may go ahead."

Without another word Soldier disappeared into the darkness. Shinigami and Silence laughed at Dragon before following Soldier. Prince however refused. He was worried about Dragon. He looked at him worried.

"Are you sure this is the smart thing? They are strong."

"If they are what Soldier says, I'll be fine."

"Very well then. Holler if you need anything."

Dragon smiled as the kind one walked into the shadows along with the others. Even in the darkness, Dragon could see Soldier's Prussian eyes shine with worry and amusement.

Taking a deep breath Dragon disappeared.

"Well, you ladies are the ones that my friends have told me about."

The huntresses turned around, looking for the source of the voice. They heard a cold laughter that sent shivers down their spine. Hotaru became angered.

"Who are you?! Show yourself coward!"

"Big talk for a little girl. And never insult me by calling me a coward."

Suddenly before them, appeared a figure in a dark blue cloak. The girls went into high alert; they could feel power radiating off this one. Rei stepped toward somehow attracted by this one.

"Who are you?"

"I am known as the Solitary Dragon."

"SO YOUR THE ONE THAT KILLED MY SISTER!!!"

Hotaru exploded toward, but Rei caught her. Shooting Hotaru a look, Rei walked calmly to Dragon.

"Are you the one that killed the slayer?"

"No, I am not. And you are?"

"I am known as the Phoenix, a huntress of the slayer's."

Dragon nodded. He felt something strangely familiar with this one. He pulled out his katana and smiled at Phoenix.

"Perhaps we could have some fun."

Rei growled. This one dared speak to her in a mocking voice? She smiled calmly and pulled out her dark red sword. Dragon smiled, fearless little thing wasn't she?

"As you wish, Dragon."

Dragon heard the mockery in her voice and his temper flared. He jumped into the air, his katana pointed at Rei. Rei dodged and their swords clashed as she swung it towards his chest. Time after time the two weapons clashed. Sparks of red seemed to fly from the two metals repeatedly matching each other's strength.

This Phoenix is a worthy opponent. Too bad she does not know how to gather all the used power I sense from her. She would be a worthy ally, as well as a formidable opponent. Her strikes are graceful and smooth, but with deadly accuracy. The only problem is her inability to concentrate her strength. But for some reason, her style is familiar...

~~~

This so called; 'Solitary Dragon' is able to match me. Impressive, we seem evenly matched. He is powerful, as we all have sensed. His technique is unlike anything I have seen. It combines the grace of a cat as well as the aggressiveness and the strength. He bases his attacks on attack power and prefers to use power. His attacks seem familiar...

^^^

The girls all smiled as Phoenix met Dragon's attacks head on. Hotaru was glaring at Dragon... he was one of them... the Supreme Gods. Hotaru couldn't take it anymore. She suddenly leapt toward, her glaive gleaming in the moonlight.

Soldier smirked. Dragon was having a challenge. Suddenly the slayer broke off from the pack. Damn, she had her glaive drawn. Shinigami cursed and disappeared.

Soldier watched as he blocked the slayer, but was sent flying into the three by three energy blasts.

Silence and Prince disappeared and tried to block the slayer, but the other huntresses attacked them. Soldier cursed. The slayer was coming close to Dragon, but he was busy battling Phoenix.

Soldier appeared on the scene and blocked the Slayer with his sword. The other huntresses were being kept busy by the others.

^^^

Hotaru cursed as each of the other Gods appeared. But the others took care of them. Just then, one appeared in front of her. Hotaru stepped back. She didn't like the feel of this one... he was powerful... really powerful. The promise of a painful death was evident in the way he held himself. High, proud and confidence radiating off of him.

"Get out of my way."

"Sorry, but I can't let you kill my friend."

"He killed my sister."

Hotaru watched as the newcomer stepped back, clearly surprised.

"You must be mistaken Slayer. Dragon does not kill."

"You're on his side."

Hotaru swung at him with her glaive. The stranger merely stepped back. Hotaru tried again and again, but couldn't land a hit on him. Everyone stopped their battles and watched as the Hotaru continued to try and hurt Soldier.

Having enough of the pathetic excuse for fighting, Soldier became angry. In a single blow, the glaive flew from Hotaru's hands and five feet away. Hotaru gasped, no one could ever do that before.

The girls were all shocked while the Gods smirked. They always knew Soldier was the best. Hotaru looked down, ashamed of her defeat.

"Go ahead, finished me."

Soldier shook his head and growled. He pressed his sword to her throat but paused. The other girls tried to stop him but the other Gods held them off.

Soldier began to move the sword toward. So close, another tiny movement and the sword would slip her throat. Just a little more, all it took was a single shiver, just then............
