Part 11: The Hidden Base in Tokyo Tower!
"How dare you show up here," Archadia shouted angrily at the two siblings, Inazumi and Koori. "Did you dispose of those Sailor Losers!"
"Well, we're pretty sure we did," Inazumi answered uneasily.
"We left after those other two Sailor brats showed up," Koori added on.
"That's no excuse! You should've stayed instead of running away like cowards and hiding, watching your minions go down in vain," Archadia scolded.
"Cool it granny, we didn't want to get ourselves killed!" Koori said.
"Why you immature little---"
"Wait a second, Archadia," Inazumi interrupted.
"What is it!" Archadia demanded angrily.
"We may have lost the battle, but we certainly haven't lost the war," the girl said with a sly grin.
"What are you going on about?" the petite lady asked.
"We have a trick up our sleeve," Inazumi said.
"I get what you're thinking, big sister," Koori smiled. "We have a sure fire plan to get rid of Sailor Moon and her friends once and for all."
"I'm sure our queen would like this very much, please continue," Archadia said, her temper calming. "What do we have to do?"
"Absolutely nothing," Koori said confidently.
The lady got a strange look on her face, which perfectly meant, "what on earth are you talking about."
"What are you getting at? How is sitting here going to destroy Sailor Moon and her annoying friends!"
"Chouchou, Kouchou, and Kyuuketsuki may have been destroyed by those Sailor brats, but Kyuuketsuki left a very good impression on Sailor Moon," Inazumi laughed.
Archadia still looked at them with a confused look.
"Kyuuketsuki bit Sailor Moon," Koori explained. "She's probably not quite herself."
"We won't have to worry about destroying Sailor Moon and her friends, she'll do the dirty work for us and she'll also be under our control, that is if we feel it necessary to do," Inazumi finished.
"If we mention the phrase, 'Mamoru to Setsuna,' she'll turn in an instant!" Koori laughed.
*Note: That "to" in that phrase doesn't mean, "to" like "to you from me." The pronunciation is like "toe" or "toh" and it's the Japanese way of saying, "and"*
"Yeah, that'll really set her off. We saw her attacking the others over her lover, Mamoru," Inazumi said. "She gets jealous very easily and those words will pluck that nerve, turning her on everyone!"
"For once, you did something right," Archadia said.
"For once? We always do stuff right," Koori retorted.
She ignored the statement and continued.
"Now, you two go and keep a guard on our...two guests," Archadia commanded with a snarling grin. "Your sister is already there. You three are the strongest of our queen's forces and we need to keep the victims under close surveilance to prevent them from running away or escaping."
"Yes, Archadia-sama," the two bowed and went off and did what they were told.
Archadia then started off since her queen had summoned for her...

"We're almost at Tokyo Tower, girls," Artemis stated.
"Why do I have such an eerie feeling," Rei thought to herself. "The closer we get, the more negative, dark energy I'm feeling."
"Are you okay, Rei," Luna asked, noticing the distant look on the young fire reader's face.
"I'm okay, Luna," Rei insisted, "but I can't help but wonder what they plan on doing to Jen and Naru, or if we're," getting quiet, "too late."
Everyone was quiet and frowned, hoping that they weren't too late.
"Well, we can't think that way," Diana said, trying her best to keep everyone as optimistic as could be over their situation.
"She's right," Chibi-Usa smiled. "We'll get there in time!"
"I hope you're right," Makoto uttered sadly and quietly, not believing the young girl entirely.
The group finally made it to Tokyo Tower.
"Why is the tower closed," Hotaru wondered. "It's always open for tourists."
"Strange," Ami said taking a closer look.
"How could anyone be hidden in there," Minako asked. "It looks the same. There's the elevator you take to the top."
"Things aren't always the way they seem," Luna stated.
"Luna's right," Ami nodded, agreeing with Luna's wise words. "There must be some kind of an interdimensional gate around here someplace."
"Well, what are we standing around here for! Let's go! Jen and Naru-chan needs us!" Usagi said, taking out her transformation Brooch.
The others nodded and took out their transformation wands.
"Moon...Crisis..."
"Mercury...Crystal Power..."
"Mars...Crystal Power..."
"Jupiter...Crystal Power..."
"Venus...Crystal Power..."
"Moon...Prism Power..."
"Saturn...Planet Power..."
"Make-up!"
All of them then transformed.
"Mercury, see if you can find a way in," Luna instructed.
Ami nodded and put on her visor and exclaimed, "Wow!"
"What is it, Mercury," Mars asked.
"It's a whole 'nother world," she said in awe, "but there's nothing but dark energy all around."
"Definitely the Negaverse," Jupiter said, her fists clutched.
"How do we get in," Saturn asked.
"Just follow me and stay towards the right," Mercury instructed.
"We'll stay here," Artemis said.
"Yes, good luck to all of you," Luna added on.
Diana was about to join them until Chibi-Usa stopped her.
"I want to go with you," the young energetic kitten said.
"No, it'll be too dangerous," the pink haired girl warned.
"You'll be fine with us," Luna told Diana.
"And a lot safer," Artemis added.
The girls shrugged and followed Mercury and walked into the tower to find themselves in another dimension. In front of them were different paths, but they didn't know which one to take.
"Which way do we go now?" Chibi-Moon asked, holding onto Luna P.
"I don't know, Chibi Moon," Mercury said slowly. "I just don't
know..."

Archadia had finally made it to her queen's chambers who was sitting
on her throne, quite pleased with the progress that Archadia had made.
"You summoned me, ma'am," Archadia bowed.
"Yes I have," the queen bellowed, her voice echoing. "I would like to commend you on a job well done."
"Thank you, ma'am," Archadia answered. "It was very easy to capture those girls, although the one called 'Jen' was a bit challenging. She's very strong and wasn't planning on going down without a fight."
"The perfect candidate," the evil queen smirked.
Archadia nodded as her queen got up from her throne. She then turned towards the petite sized, blonde haired girl wearing the dark black skirt, black boots and sleeveless black shirt.
"Now, I assume that you have destroyed those Sailor Soldiers," she said in an almost threatening tone.
"Um, about that," Archadia started, voice filled with uneasiness and fear, "we had a bit of a problem."
She then laughed nervously, but her queen turned to her, giving her an angered look.
"What kind of problem," she demanded. "Are you telling me that the Sailor Soldiers live?! That brat Sailor Moon is still alive!"
"Yes, but---"
"No excuses," the evil queen bellowed, which caused Archadia to cower down in fear. "I was promised results!! Why weren't they carried out!"
"Well, they were too powerful for us, ma'am," Archadia explained. "But we do have a secret weapon and have gained a new ally."
"You sound sure of yourself," the queen noted. "What makes you so certain that this 'secret weapon' of yours will work and whom is this 'ally' that you speak of?"
Archadia smiled and continued.
"Sailor Moon."
"Sailor Moon," she asked in a confused tone, which soon turned to annoyance and anger. "How dare you stand before me and deliver such lies!! How could someone like Sailor Moon become our ally!"
"Those triplets may have messed up, but they came up with a sure-fire plan to help get rid of the other soldiers once and for all!"
The queen got a confused look on her face, wondering what Archadia and the triplets had planned.
"Sailor Moon is going to dispose of the other Sailor Soldiers for us," Archadia laughed. The queen didn't find this amusing.
"You dare lie to me," the queen threatened again. "Sailor Moon would never do such a thing!"
Archadia kept calm and explained what happened to Sailor Moon and how she was bitten. The angered look which was on the queen's face soon turned to that of pleasure. She approved of this plan and considered it pure genius.
"Very good," she smiled. "You have done well!"
"After Sailor Moon turns on the other Sailor Soldiers, we then destroy her," Archadia smirked.
"Perfect, now what about our victims," the queen asked.
"They're being watched over as we speak," Archadia assured her.
"Good. We will commence our ressurection at midnight when the moon is up high, just like the prophecy says."
"Yes ma'am," Archadia bowed.
She was about to leave until she sensed something.
"What is it," the queen asked.
"Somebody is here," Archadia said slowly.
"Those nosy Sailor Brats no doubt," the queen said angrily. "Get rid of them!"
"Hai," Archadia said, leaving the queen's throne room.
After she left, she brought up an image like she had earlier when showing the victims to her queen.
"Hmm, those two again," she said noticing Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune wandering around as if they were lost. "They're headed towards where our victims are being held captive!"
She minimized the image.
"Not if I have anything to say about it!" Archadia muttered. "It's time to finish our battle from earlier and I don't plan on losing!"
Archadia then got another strange feeling. She put up the image again, which was nothing but a map of the place, and noticed that somebody else was wandering around.
"Who are these two people," Archadia murmured as she studied the image. "That guy in the cape must be Prince Endymion, who was known as the Sailor Soldier's protector, Tuxedo Kamen, the one that Beryll-sama, the moron, had control of temporarily."
She then shook her head at Beryll.
"She couldn't even keep her victims under control and I still won't forgive her for disposing of my older cousin, but never mind that."
Archadia began to study the person walking beside Tuxedo Kamen.
"Who exactly is this other lady? I've never seen her before. It's obvious she's another annoying Sailor Soldier, but I've never seen her before and she seems much older than the others." Archadia frowned angrily. "Just when you thought you've gotten rid of them, more show up!" she muttered in annoyance as she reduced the image. "I'll let those triplets take care of those rejects I fought earlier! Besides, they aren't all that strong. If it weren't for that girl intefering, they would've gotten killed right on the spot," Archadia said to herself, remembering the battle Neptune and Uranus had had earlier. "I'm going after this mysterious soldier and that cape boy! They look as if they would be more of a threat to our queen than those other two. That Sailor Soldier looks like she could be very strong and wise."
She then laughed and went off in the direction of Pluto and Tuxedo Kamen, not intending on sparing the lives of either one of them...
