Watch out Usagi! Pluto's rage is out of control!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~ "What's wrong with Puu? Why is she attacking Mamma?!"~~~
~~~ "She has fallen to the Fury of Revenge, and must ~~~
~~~overcome her own guilt and grief before she is driven ~~~
~~~insane by it." "Insane!! No!! This can't be!" "You ~~~
~~~must have faith, and pray with me for them all. Here, ~~~
~~~you prayer is magnified so that the Gods can hear you. ~~~
~~~Your prayer can give them both strength." "Puu, stop!"~~~
~~~Don't hurt Mamma, please!!! You have to stop!!!" ~~~
~~~ "Your prayers are strong, Princess, and I know that ~~~
~~~they can hear you and feel your love." ~~~

*~*~*

Nep. "DEEP SUBMERGE!!!!!"

::Before Pluto can finish, a tidal wave of salt water
cascades over them and the entire building, putting out the
fire. Pluto looks up, even more angry, to see Super Sailors
Neptune and Uranus standing among the other Senshi.::

Plu. "What the hell are you doing? I MUST destroy her!!!!"
Nep. "Pluto, stop! You don't know what you're doing!"
Ura. "Don't force us to battle each other when we have a common
enemy! I don't want to hurt you, but I will."
Plu. "I am perfectly aware of my actions! I am carrying out my
duty as Guardian of Time and executing the one guilty of
breaking a taboo. I am also avenging MY CHIBI-USA-CHAN!!!!!!"

::Tears run down Setsuna's face from her glossy black eyes.
Her face is twisted into a horrible snarl. Inside her head,
her mild, smooth voice pleads.:

^PLEASE, STOP ME!!! KILL ME, JUST DON'T LET ME DO THIS!!!!
PLEASE SAILORS, PLEASE!!!!^

Plu. "You can't stop me, this is my DUTY!"
Ura. "WORLD SHAKING!!!!"

::Pluto groans as the huge ball of orange energy with the force
of an entire planet behind it plows into her and crushes her
against the sidewalk, creating a small crater. Moon falls to
the ground, gasping for breath.::

Moon, gagging "Please... *ack* No, don't!"
Ura., ignoring her "SPACE SWORD-"
Moon, choked "URANUS, NO!!!!"

::Uranus stops short.::

Ura. "Princess, she tried to kill you!"
Moon, standing in front of Uranus "And so did both of you, at
one point, but I still knew that you were my allies. Pluto
isn't the one doing this, someone is CONTROLLING HER!"
Ven. "She must have had some of that foul water Megaera was
selling. It caused all these people to become violent as well."

::Behind them, Pluto begins to stir, but still cannot get up.::

^THANK YOU, URANUS. THANK YOU...^

::Her wound begins to bleed again, and several scrapes from the
concrete bleed as well. The violent Setsuna still pushes her
body, wishing to get up and kill Moon, Uranus, and Neptune, but
the inner Setsuna can feel her body slipping away.::

^I'M SORRY, PRINCESS... CHIBI-USA... KING, QUEEN... EVERYONE...^

::Pluto feels the warmth of the Ginzuishou's light flowing over
her once more. The violent Setsuna fights against its
cleansing, but is driven out. Her eyes clear, back to the
usual deep red. Her wounds are healed once more. As the light
fades around her, she sees Super Sailor Moon standing above her
and begins to cry. She pulls herself up and kneels before her
future Queen.::

Plu. "Princess Serenity... I cannot ask for you forgiveness for
such an act. Please punish me however you see fit, I deserve
it. I-"

::Pluto feels Moon's hand on her shoulder, and looks up, tears
running down her tan face. Super Sailor Moon is smiling.::

Moon "You don't need to apologize for something that you had
nothing to do with. The only thing I ask of you is to help me
find and punish those who took Chibi-Usa-chan from us, our
enemies. Will you fight at my side?"
Plu. "I... YES! Of course, Princess, thank you."
Moon, grinning "Then get up, so we can go!"

::Setsuna stands, and stares down at the young Princess. The
other Senshi look on, silent.::

Mars You know, sometimes she really does act like a Princess...
??? "IMPOSSIBLE!"

::The Senshi turn to see Tisiphone standing a few yards away.
Her red eyes seem to glow, flashing with more violence than
ever.::

Moon "You're an enemy?! Who are you?"
Tis. "I am Tisiphone, the 'Avenger of Blood'! The Solitary Senshi
is to KILL YOU!" looks at Pluto "She took someone from you whom
you love deeply, you MUST AVENGE THE DEATH!!!"
Mer. "Why? What right do you have-"
Tis. "SHUT UP! That has been the order of things for centuries!
Those who do not avenge the death of loved ones must be DRIVEN
INSANE by the Furies until they kill the murderer. I am the
Fury in charge of such matters, and you CANNOT ESCAPE YOUR
RESPONSIBILITY!!!! I'LL DRIVE YOU INSANE WITH HATE OR KILL
YOU MYSELF!!!!"

::Tisiphone hurls a huge ball of energy at Moon and Pluto. Pluto
stands and prepares to take the hit for Moon, but Super Sailor
Moon steps out in front and shields Pluto. Shocked and terrified,
Pluto tries to stop her.::

Plu. "No, Princess!!"

::The force of the blast forces Moon to take a step back, but she
amazingly holds her ground, and after the blast, is still
standing, defending Pluto.::

Moon "I don't know who you are working for or who the Furies are,
but you are my enemy, and I cannot be defeated. I WILL not be."
Tis. "YOU WILL DIE!!!"

::As Tisiphone prepares to fire another blast, a rose cuts through
her gathering energy in front of her, breaking her concentration.
She looks up, and sees Tuxedo Kamen standing atop a low building.::

Tux. "Your hate is blinding you and making you weak. Super Sailor
Moon's love is what makes her and her friends so strong. You will
never defeat her for that reason."
Tis. "Damn you, I'll KILL YOU ALL! LORD STYXX WILL NEVER ALLOW
YOUR LOVE TO LIVE ON AND BUILD CRYSTAL TOKYO!!!!

::She fires a blast at Tuxedo Kamen, but he leaps off the roof and
lands in the street next to his love. The Senshi line up in front
of their future rulers. Super Sailor Moon holds up the Moon
Kaleidoscope and takes aim. Their energy meets between them, but
there is no question who the more powerful is. With the Moon
Gorgeous Meditation, and a wild scream, Tisiphone is incinerated,
her ashes scattering in the cool, refreshing wind that has begun to
blow. Somewhere four blocks North, as rabid customers scramble
to pay her for their water, Megaera feels a sudden stab of pain,
similar to the pain she felt when Alecto was killed. A scream
echoes in her ears, and she swears that each and every Sailor Senshi
will die a painful death as revenge for her two fallen Sisters.::
