Chapter Two
Darkness Descending
"We have found the Moon Child," Shar turned to Leenus. "But I would hardly say that the section of this cycle is the easy part."
"I guess it depends on how you look at it," Leenus shrugged. "The Moon Child has been located. That task has been completed. All we need to do now is to eliminate our target."
"Eliminate our target," Shar shook his head. "The second step. I've always hated this part. Maybe because this is the part that pinned me the name "Black Monster."
Leenus winched as she remembered the nickname that they've been given over the centuries. "And it also pinned me with one to, but I'll understand if you me to do this alone."
Shar got up and started to walk to his room. "Do that," he looked back. "I'll leave this job in your hands, Leenus. Don't dissapoint me."
"How many times?" Shar asked as he walked up to a picture. "How many times, dear sister, must I slay thy shade?" The picture was that of a young girl. She was about two years younger then he was and obviosely female, but the two shared many things in common-mentally and physicly. "Is this your final punishment? This your judgement?"
"Isn't it lovely, Shar?" the young girl asked. "God's never ceases to amaze me with his awsome power."
"His power is indeed awsome," Shar looked at the sky. "But there our times when I feel myself ceasing to be
amazed."
"How's that?" she asked. "He made all of this," her arm panned over the landscape. "He created everything in this universe. You, me, and everything he has created and rules over with his supreme power and grace."
"I guess your right," Shar turned. "I guess that he would have to have infinite grace if he would allow beings like me to exist."
"Shar? What are you doing?" her eyes widened. "Shar? Shar?"
Drip. Drip.
"I'm such a coward!" Shar banged his fist on a tabble. "I shut my eyes. Didn't even have the courage. Didn't even have the courage to look at her."
Shar? Shar?
"Didn't even have the courage to look her in the eyes."
On the table was another picture. A picture of another young woman. This one's name was Leenus. A young lady with blue armor and eyes to match. "Leenus! I was such a fool!"
"The Moon Child's should be......." Leenus turned a corner. "Here. Well Moon Child I guess that it's game over." She looked around. "To bad. She doesn't seem to know I'm here. I'll just have to give a little welcome fire work display!"
A solid sphere of water appeared in Leenus'es hands as she began here spell. "This will get your attention! Freezing Ring!" The swirling shards of ice blew into a building, causing minor explosions.
"Wake up call!"
"That's enough!" a voice yelled from behind her. "I won't allow you to do any more damage to people's safety and structures anymore!"
"About time," Leenus turned with a grin. "Your late."
"Well what did you expect from her?" the shortest one asked. "Her to change habits just for you?"
"Late for what?" the other one asked. "Oh well. Stop right there, I am Sailor Moon!"
"And I'm Sailor Mini Moon!"
"And in the name of the Moon; we shall punish you!" the two said simotaniasly.
"Very nice," Leenus clapped with mock approval. "Did you practice that often? Oh well, it really doesn't matter. My name's Leenus and I'm here to destroy you!"
"Destroy us?"
"That's right! Ice Lance!" a huge spear of ice came flying out. The two scouts clumsily dodged. "And that spell is just the tip of the iceberg. I am Leenus, Dragoon of Water, and one of the top generals of the Dragoon of Darkness," she pointed to the Sailor Moon. "And you are the Moon Child. Brood of the Blood Moon. I'm here to destroy you? Diamond Dust!"
The blast of ice shards came carrening at it's target when suddenly a red rose sliced right through it. "You that fight only to destroy disgust me," the man said. "You have no idea of what beauty or what the light of life feels like. I'm Tuxedo Mask!"
"Enter Mr. Mask," Leenus looked up. "The second of the Moon Child's honor guards. Unfortunately, I guess I'll have to destroy you to. Aqua Beam!"
"That's enough, Leenus," a familiar voice was heard. "I'm such a coward. Relying on you to work for what I could easily do. Please forgive me. Now let me finish things here."
