Chapter 3

~~~~
~~~~

~~U~~

Who would've thought? I barely believed it myself...that I could go through
with it....but somethings just happen, and there is nothing we can really do but
go with the flow...

I was walking home from a Senshi meeting. It had been a typical meeting.
They ignored me. They always ignored me...they always have...to them, I'm
just a dumb ditz...shows them how much *they* know...They don't know anything
about me...or the Dark Moon. They think that they can just beat Rubeus and his
droids so easily. They have no clue who they are up against....

You might have noticed that I keep refering to the Senshi as "they"...instead of
"we"...and for good reason.

Last night, after another battle with Rubeus, I reached a decision. It was a
difficult decision...one that had taken me weeks to make...one I had thought
about for a long time...ever since...ever since I talked to Rubeus...

~~Flashback~~

The Senshi had long gone...so had Mamoru. I guess I wasn't that important to
them...they didn't really care if I made it back home alright or not...I was alone...
I guess I always would be.

I was walking around the park, a familiar area to me. I spent many nights
walking under the moonlight...but never under a new moon. My power was
weakest then...and now...now it was a half moon...

"Sailor Moon..." A voice whispered. A familiar voice...

I didn't have to turn around to know who it was..."Rubeus." I growled. I wasn't
exactly in the mood to 'talk' to him....I turned to glare at him. I wasn't very happy
at the moment..."What do you want?"

"Oh...nothing really...to make a deal with you." He smirked.

My eyes narrowed. "What kind of deal?" I whispered. I knew I shouldn't have
even asked...but then again, my life really couldn't get any worse...

"A deal I think you'll find quite interesting..."

I stared at him. "I'll be the judge of that."

He smirked and began to tell me what he wanted...

~~End Flashback~~

Afterwards, I had spent a long time thinking about it...and had almost said no. What
was I? Stupid? Like *I* would make a deal with Rubeus!?! Well. He said he'd give
me time to think about it. And now...I had finally reached my decision...

I was going to join the Dark Moon.

~~T~~

I wasn't strong enough. I had never been strong enough. Gohan had died because I
had been weak. My mother had died because I hadn't been able to stop the Androids.
And even now, after I had destroyed the Androids, I was too weak to defeat Cell.

He had destroyed almost everything. And now...and now he was after me. I guess he
was angry because I had destroyed the time machine. I'm not stupid. I know he wants
to go back in time and absorb the Androids. And he's angry. He wants revenge.

Now, I was running. Running. There was nothing else I could do. Let Cell catch me?
HA! Again, I'm not stupid. But I know...I know Cell will find me someday. He's slowly
absorbing more and more people. And I am trying to get stronger in hopes that I could
someday defeat him.

Cell is faster and stronger than I am. He's gaining on me everyday. He doesn't need
to sleep...I do...and it's for this reason I guess that he's standing in front of me now,
smirking.

My eyes narrowed. "What do you want, Cell?" I hissed angrily. I was tired, but I
wasn't about to let him see that.

"I'm going to make a deal with you, Saiyan." He said...and my eyes narrowed again.

"A deal?...what *kind* of deal?" I whispered.

"I'm going to let you live...on one condition."

"And...that condition is?" I asked, better to find out what he wants now...stall him...

"You leave Earth."

"What? But...how would I leave Earth?"

"I made a deal with a power in another dimension..." He said. "And I can send you
there...but you have to work for them."

"Another dimension?" I whispered. Nothing could be worse than this dimension...but...
I didn't like that 'work for them'...But...who was I to complain. I was leaving and Cell
was letting me live. I had nothing left here....nothing. "Alright Cell. I agree."

He smirked, and a dark portal appeared in front of me. I looked at him skeptically.
Then stepped in...

~~U~~

I was confused at first. Dizzy. But it was expected. The portal to the
Dark Moon was full of negative energy, and that just didn't seem to work
with the positive energy I knew my body radiated.

Rubeus was standing there, waiting on me to recover. He just smirked as
I glared at him. "You could have warned me." I whispered angrily as I
finally regained my footing.

He just laughed the way he always had. It was an arrogant laugh. I just
glared again. He just smirked again and led me to my quarters. It was dark
here...very dark. But my eyes had adjusted to the lack of light rather quickly.

Before he left me alone in my room, he turned back towards me. "Prince
Dimando has requested your presense, Miss. Moon." He said, smirking.

I nodded. It was about time I met the mastermind behind all the attacks on
Earth. Prince Dimando.

But first things first. I stared at my reflection in the mirror. The odangos
had to go. I reached down and picked up a pair of scissors from one of the
dresser draws. At least the Dark Moon still had somewhat "normal" things in
the living quarters. I undid my odangos, and cut my hair just at my waist.

I stared at my Senshi fuku. And grimanced. I never did like this thing. For
one, it was too short....and the colors were too flashy. Yes. I had never liked
it...and now...now I had the chance to choose my own cloths. I smiled slightly,
waving my hand around me. The fuku fade away, and in its place was a dark
black bodysuit. I smiled slightly. It was sleeveless and skintight. Covering
the bodysuit was a black cape with a hood. Perfect. Well...almost...There was
only one thing missing. I waved my hand around me once more, and silver trim
appeared on the bodysuit and cape. Silver crescent moon earings appeared on
my ears. I smiled slightly...sadly. Perfect.

I sighed. No more Senshi to criticize me...no more Luna to correct me. Now...
Now I could be myself. I just...I just wish that I could have someone to love.

Dimando was nothing like I had thought he would be. He was tall, with silver
hair and eyes. He wore a white suit and cape as he sat on his thrown. In his
hand was a glass of wine, which he stared at, deep in thought.

I looked at him, taking in everything there was to know about him. He glanced
up at me. Did a double take. I smirked slightly. So I had caught the Prince's
attention.

"Sailor Moon?" He whispered in shock. Obviously the changes I had made had
taken him by surprise. But he quickly regained his cool, and was expressionless.
"Welcome to the Dark Moon, Sailor Moon."

"Call me Usa." I said suddenly. I never did like Sailor Moon...it was so...so...so
dumb. Sailor? Yeah right! Usa on the other hand. That described me perfectly.

"Alright then, Usa." He smirked...and I quickly decided I didn't like that look
on him. Maybe later, when I destroyed him, I'd wipe the smug look off his face.
"Welcome to the Dark Moon. I hope your stay so far has been comfortable."

"Quite." I whispered, smirking slightly. Hey! A girl's gotta keep up the look of
superiority or else she might gets stepped on by the 'big bad boys' that think they
are SO much superior than her...

"Good. We will meet in two hours to great our next guest."

I raised an eyebrow. "Who?"

"A 'friend' from a different dimension." He smirked. "He's like you are, running
from a bad situation."

My eyes narrowed. Whoever this person was...they would be nothing but trouble.
They could only get in my way at this point. How was I supposed to gain the trust
of Prince Dimando if there would be someone else there...

I turned to leave...

"Oh. And one more thing, Usa. Wiseman will be meeting with both of your within
the next day to begin the conversion. You aren't part of the Dark Moon just yet."

I nodded...walking out the door and back to my quarters. I didn't like this at all.
But this was the only way. The Dark Moon would be destroyed, and I would be
the one to do so...

~~T~~

I was dizzy...very dizzy...this feeling...all the negative energy. It surrounded me.
And for a moment, all I could feel was like I was going to throw up. It was so
confusing. I fell to my knees in pain. Slowly, my normal breathing returned and
I wasn't as dizzy. I opened my eyes again, the world was no longer spinning. I
sighed, slowly standing up.

I looked around me...it was dark...very dark. My eyes adjusted to the lack of
light quickly...they were a strange group of people, these..."friends" of Cell's.

I stared at them in slight anger. The powers weren't the strongest I had felt,
in fact...all but two were weaker than I was...and those two. The first was in a
large cloak. This figure radiated negative energy.... The second was a girl. She
was my age...and she was radiated pure energy...
