Where Angels Lose Their Way
Chapter 5
o8O-
Now we are outside the Dark Kingdoms castle. The fiery haired Princess of Darkness is taking a walk on the outer boundary of the palace; she is lost in her own thoughts. Begin.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The princess was on her daily walk. She always used this time for quiet reflection on her life and how unhappy she was. Not too long ago she had been completely content with the direction her life was heading: she had the admiration of all four of her court members, they waited on her hand and foot, not to mention she was going to rule the world. That all changed of course when she first had that dream. Reeking havoc on the innocent people in the world was no longer amusing to her. All she wanted to do was sit around the castle and look out at the icy world around her daydreaming. She was sure her mother could sense something was wrong with her. If she wasn't careful something bad might happen to her.
As she walked along a flash of purple amongst the white of the snow caught her eye. She bent down to get a closer look at the source of the color. *A flower? How in the world did a flower get in the middle of Antarctica? It's so pretty...* The princess reached down and picked the flower only for it to wilt and die in her hand. She sighed. "Another down side of being the Princess of Darkness I guess," she whispered to herself.
All of a sudden she heard the voices of her court coming from the other side of the wall. With the surprise of hearing them, the Princess of Darkness fell face first into a mound of snow (some things never change). She hurriedly got up and brushed herself off. The voices continued obviously missing her little accident.
---------------------------------
"So what do you think is wrong with the princess lately?" Nephrite asked his fellow strollers.
"Beats me, she's been no fun at all lately," Jadeite added. "And, she completely ignores me!"
"That's nothing new," Kunzite smirked, referring to the last comment.
"I don't know what's bothering her, but I do know that the Queen has noticed it," Zoisite said. When he decided he had everyone's attention he continued: "After the breakfast fiasco I was on my way back to my room and I happened to take the route past the shrine containing the mummy of Queen Metallica. I heard voices and naturally I went to investigate. I listened at the door and someone with Queen Beryl said how important it was that the Princess stayed focused, and on our side; she said that if she didn't the Queen knew what she must do"
----------------------------------
The voices faded away into the distance leaving the princess alone enraged. *So, they don't think I can hold my own?! ... Of course wasn't I just thinking the same...? There's nothing wrong with me! I'll show them, I'll get that last rainbow crystal and have no problems with those lousy Sailor Scouts! HA!*
The princess dematerialized and rematerialized in Zoisite's room; she knew he had a black crystal that could detect the rainbow crystals somewhere in here.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Back in Tokyo, the Princess of Darkness has just found the last crystal holder and of course, the sailor scouts interrupted her. The sailor scouts do their opening speech and begin battle!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CRASH! "Watch out Jupiter!"
Jupiter had just done her Thunderbolt attack trying to deter the enemy from the poor man- who they assumed was the next victim- only to have it bounce off the evil girl without her even trying to block it! The thunderbolt bounced right back and hit Jupiter smack jab in the jaw, causing her to fly backwards into a wall. Luckily, Sailor Jupiter was strong and she was able to shake it off. "Careful guys, this ones much stronger than all the others!"
"Ha ha ha! Glad you noticed! I'm flattered," said the Princess of Darkness. She still hadn't even turned around since the four girls had appeared. All she had done was glance over at them once when they did their little speeches. *How did these losers give the others so much trouble?*
"Venus crescent beam smash!"
The Princess merely stepped aside to doge the beam of golden light sending it into Sailor Mercury.
"Ha! Gotta do better than that! Come forth my child!" the Princess said as she drew the violet crystal from the frail man.
Sailor Mars quickly tossed a little card at the now transformed monster. "Demon be gone!" she screamed when the card landed on the monster's forehead. The monster turned back into an old man, out cold on the floor.
"Well, I guess you are tougher then you look!" the princess snapped. "Never mind, I have what I came for." She said holding up her fist containing the crystal. Something razor sharp whizzed past her ear and hit her hand causing her to drop the crystal. ---{@ "Ouch!" She grabbed the crystal with her good hand and turned to face the offender. "You'll regret that!" She gasped, however, when she saw him. Tuxedo Mask stood there with is wand pointed at her face, with a look of hatred on his. Her heart began to beat rapidly for the first time since the battle had begun. *His eyes! Those eyes! No! I can't stand them looking at me like that!*
Mean while, Luna and Artemis had finally gotten a good look at the evil girl's face. They both gasped at the same time. "It....it can't be!" Luna stammered.
Tuxedo Mask also had a strange feeling when he looked at the shock written all over her beautiful, yet evil face. *Who...?*
*I can't let this happen!* The Princess closed her eyes and Screamed at the top of her lungs. A gigantic energy ball erupted around her in all directions completely engulfing the sailor scouts, the cats, and a stunned Tuxedo Mask. Then she disappeared.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Back at the Dark Kingdoms Palace, in the Princess of Darkness's room. She's sitting on her bed sobbing. Begin Princess.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
She didn't like that feeling one bit.
How could that man make her feel like that? She was completely in control before he looked at her like that.... She had felt ten times more helpless, hopeless, and scared then she did after waking up from her dreams.
KNOCK KNOCK!
"Princess it's time for dinner," one of the zombie servants mumbled at her door.
*OH no! I can't face them all looking like this!* She ran over to the mirror and tried to fix her eye shadow and her odangos. *That will just have to do.* she though unhappily, referring to her appearance.
She made her way to the dinning room expecting to be yelled at for being late. However, when she entered the room the five people sitting at the table started clapping.
"Great Job!" said Jadeite.
"Congratulations," Nephrite said.
"I always knew you had it in you," Zoisite said.
"We saw your whole battle through the queen's crystal ball," Kunzite said, "good job!"
"You defiantly proved yourself worthy of being my daughter," Queen Beryl beamed.
The princess smiled weakly, "It was nothing really..."
"Are you kidding? That was stupendous! You should have seen how long it took them to get up after that blow you gave them. One of them even had to be carried away from the battle filed. Ha ha," Jadeite said nearly jumping out of his seat.
"Yes, well, we all think she did a good job, but I'm sure she's famished. Lets eat before the food gets cold." As the Queen said this the usual parade of the walking dead entered the room at a surprising pace and set the party's food at their places.
