Battle

*A young woman, extremely beautiful with long deep black hair and flashing violet eyes, swept up a temple shrine. Two crows cawed by her, flying over her head protectivly. The girl sighed heavily, brushing back her hair. The dreamer reached out to her, and suddenly the girl's eyes closed peacefully and she fell gently to the ground. The dreamer stretched out a pale ghostly hand and touched her forehead softly, the girl groaned and her eyelashes began to flutter. "Onegai…help me!" the dreamer whispered in her ear, placing visions in her head. Suddenly a blonde girl with long pigtails and sparkling blue eyes woke her up. The dreamer sighed, the dream had not been completed.*

Karei woke up with a start, her shirt was soaked with sweat and her hair stuck to her forehead in silken strands. For one moment the dream was fresh in her mind, she saw the two girls as clear as a picture. Then her mind fuzzed and they became a blur, she sat up straighter and held her forehead, feeling a headache come on. She swung her legs over the edge of her bed, and pushed her green bedspread back. She glanced at her clock and sighed, it was 6 o'clock in the morning. 'Way to early to get up during the summer.' she thought. But she sighed again and stood up, put her robe on and walked downstairs. She went out side and got the newspaper. She sat down at the table, and opened it. As she flipped through the paper, eating a bowl of ceral, she came across a article about another drug bust by Sailorvictory. This was the first she had heard of it, 'Sailorvictory'. she thought. She set her spoon down and her mouth opened slighty, a chord had been struck inside of her.......

Usagi sighed heavily and walked dejectedly down the hallway from her room. She suddenly heard the screams coming from the pool, she ran to a near-by window and gasped at the sight. She ran back to her room to get her brooch, when she opened the door, Luna was gone. She paused looking around, but then shook her head and grabbed her brooch, yelling, "Moon Eternal, make up!" she quickly transformed and jumped out the window, flying down.....

Controllerwater held the deep submerge ball above his head and cried, "Power of the element water, lend me your strength!" The ball grew larger and larger until it was a huge raging ball of water, and laughed as he hurled it down at the senshi, they screamed and dodged, but the ball headed straight for Sailorneptune. She screamed, putting her arms over her face and the ball hit her straight on. The senshi watched in shock as she seemed to fly through the air in slow motion, her mouth open in shock. Time returned to normal as she slammed into a wall, plaster billowing around her, the screams stopped. "Neptune!" uranus yelled, her eyes opened in horror.

"Neptune-san, daijoubu ka?" Sailormoon asked, as she knelt beside her fallen friend, her eyes filled with tears,

"Neptune!" Sailoruranus yelled, she pushed. She ran over to her, pushed Sailormoon aside and gently lifted Neptune's limp body up. Tears formed in her eyes as she brushed the bloody dust from neptune's face, "Michiru…" she murmered, her tears made tiny tracks on the dust on Michiru's face. "Iie." She whispered, holding her limp body to hers.

"Haruka…" neptune's eyes opened slowly and her dim eyes looked up into Haurka's. "Get them.." she whispered, she weakly lifted a hand to touch Uranus's cheek, she sighed and her eyes closed, her hand falling to the ground, unconscious.

"Don't worry, he'll pay.." Haruka whispered softly, she kissed Neptune on the cheek, and set her body gently on the ground. She stroked Neptune's hand on more time, before standing up. She had her back to Water, her hands clenched into fists at her side.

"My, my, that was touching." Water laughed.

"kisama.." she whispered, hands tightining.

"Kisama!" Uranus screamed, a dangerous yellow aura glowed around her. She turned her head and looked at him with such hate that he stopped laughing, looking startled. "You will pay for hurting my love!" she screamed. The aura began to flare up higher, "Yurusa!" she screamed, turning to face him fully. She had never felt such anger before in her life. Her beloved Michiru, lying unconscious on the floor. A new power coursed through her, she slowly rose off the ground and hovered a few feet of the ground, the aura flashed white-hot, shimmering around her like a flame.

Water stared in fear, his arrogance fading. The senshi gaped as they stood around Neptune. A brilliant beam of white light filled the room, blinding everyone with it's readiance and when the flash ended, Sailoruranus floated there in a new fuku. It was similar to Sailormoon's, it was different from any other fuku she had ever had. She had on a dark blue skirt, layered over a longer light blue skirt, with dark blue, white, then light blue ribbons for a belt, a gold star at the appex. Her back bow was light blue, and had two very long thin , dark blue ribbons hanging down. Her front bow was smaller and yellow, with a glowing blue star in the center. She had two ball-shaped shoulder covers which were light blue, and her gloves came up to the middle of her upper arm. Her collar was dark blue, without a stripe and in place of a tiara, her royal sign of uranus glew fiercely,

Her white-yellow aura blazed brighter and two small wings grew from between her shoulder blades. She lowered slowly to the ground, the aura carressing her started to fade and she yelled, "I am the pretty sailor-suited soldier Eternal Sailoruranus! Protected by the planet of eternal wind, I shall punish you!" she yelled posing. The whole transformation took only about 30 seconds. Water stared in shock and blanched slightly, he started to laugh, attempting to mask his nervousness, "You shall never punish me girl! I am thousands of millennia years old, I am very strong." Uranus's aura started to glow again, "Eternal Wind Storm!" she screamed. She raised her hands to the heavens, it was completely silent until a faint rushing sound grew louder and louder, causing Water to cover his ears. A wind of bright yellow energy began to twist around her faster and faster. Uranus smiled dangerously and pointed her hands at Water, the wind seperated from her and accelerated towards him. Water gaped for a moment, but quickly rose his hands and gathered blue energy. Uranus smiled secretly to herself, she raised a finger and pointed it at Water's hands, the wind changed its course intentaneously and hit Water's hands full on. Water screamed as the aura around him shattered and he fell roughly to the ground, in a heap.

"Sailormoon!" Uranus cried, she staggered slightly, she paled and fell to her knees, the fuku disappeared in a shimmering of blue glitter, she slumped to the ground, Mercury ran to her.

"Silver Moon Crystal!" Sailormoon began, when suddenly a voice yelled, "Yamette!". The senshi all turned and looked. There was another man floating in the air above them, he had shoulder length brown hair, he was holding a unconscious Luna slumped in one arm. He held a hand open and a sword of brown metal appeared in his hands, he held it to her throat. "Luna!" the senshi all yelled, stepping foreward, "Fire…" Mars began.

"Stop if you want your little friend to live!" he yelled, pressing the sword into her pale throat. Sailormars gasped and lowered her hands. Sailormoon raised a hand towards the senshi, she flew gracefully up into the air.

"What do you want? Who are you?" she asked facing him.

"Keep your distance." He warned "I'm only here to get my friend. My queen will be happy to have your little friend for questioning."

"Luna!" a voice yelled desperatly. They both looked down as Artemis and Tuxedo Kamen ran into the room. Sailormoon looked back at him,

"Who are you? Why do you want Luna?" she demanded.

"I am Controllermatter, do not think of attacking me, I will kill this kitty without a thought." he said looking down at the senshi.

"Nani?" Moon gasped. "How…" she began

"I know everything." he sneered, he shrugged, "I've had enough of this." He smiled.

"Sayonara." he laughed, a shadow enfolded him, and he was gone. Water, who was still unconscious on the ground, disappeared as well

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Karei slept deeply, she saw all of these events playing out in her mind. She felt deeply for their pain and anguish, and she somehow felt connected with these girls, the sailor senshi they were. Her heart skipped a beat when the man Tuxedo Kamen ran in, but it was not a skip of love, but of recognition. She saw the girl, Sailormars, and recognized her as the one before, Karei stretched out a ghostly hand and touched the girls forehead, she immediately slumped to the ground and her eyelashes began to flutter.....

Controllerplanet smiled as matter appeared in front of her, holding the cat/woman in his arms.

"Ah Matter-san, you are the only one I can really count on. Set her down over there." Planet commanded, pointing to a golden cage in front of her throne. Matter bowed and gently set Luna in the cage.

"Planet-sama, I have also brought Water back with me, may I take him to the healer?" he asked nervously.

"Hai, Hai." Planet asked, waving a hand. "How easy was it for them?" she asked, curious.

"It was not easy, one of their strongest is down and another is weak, the rest are very weak as well." he said.

"Hmmm, good. Now leave." she ordered, waving a hand. He bowed and disappeared in a shadow.

In the cage, Luna started to stir and she slowly opened her eyes, rubbing a hand over her eyes. She started to sit up, but then started when she saw her surroundings. She pulled her robe tighter and stood up, her eyes widened further as she recognized it as the royal throne room on the moon,

"How?" she started.

"My dear Luna-sama, you mustn't wear that silly thing anymore." planet smiled graciously, she snapped her fingers and simple white gown appeared on her.

"Nani?" Luna gaped looking down at herself.

"Luna-sama, I must introduce myself, I am Controllerplanet. I am extremely pleased to meet you, I have heard so much about you." Planet said pleasantly, twirling a piece of her hair. She snapped her fingers and the cage disappeared, as a gold chair appeared. "Please sit! Would you like some tea?" planet asked. A woman appeared holding a serving tray, she handed Luna a cup of green tea. Luna took the cup, stunned and took a sip. She actually started to smile slightly.

"How do you know me?" she asked.

"Ah, I know many things." planet said. "But a question has been bothering me, may I ask you?" she asked.

"Hai." Luna nodded.

"What do you owe that queen and her ungrateful daughter?" planet asked simply, sitting straighter in her throne.

"I…they are my masters, I...love them." Luna said hesitantly.

"But you didn't answer the question." planet said innocently, flicking her hair off her shoulders.

Luna knew their was something, but her mind seemed to be blank suddenly, "I...I don't know." she said hesitantly.

"Would like power Luna?" planet said suddenly, standing up.

"What? Yes, everyone wants power." Luna said confused, shrinking back into her chair.

"I, I can give you that power, you can be as powerful as my generals, even more so, then you can pay those ungrateful girls for the cruel things they have done to you."

Luna's eyes hardened as she remembered what happened, a twisted vision played through her mind, as she imagined years of unfeeling treatment.

"I can see I have your interest. They deserve it, do they not, especially that ungrateful brat Usagi. Look at all the years, no, all the millennia you have given her in faithful service, and she doesn't give one word of thanks, but instead she ridicules your beauty, she is jealous!" planet said slyly.

Luna knew there was something wrong with that statement, but she couldn't think of it. The aura around planet glowed softly and Luna's mind completely blanked. Her eyes hardened. "Hai." she whispered.

Planet smiled, "Good. Please stand up." she asked politely. Luna stood up, her eyes full of hate , fists clenched at her sides. The kaleidoscopic aura around planet brightened, and a beam shot out from her and hit Luna in the forehead. Luna started to float off the ground, as her crescent moon glew and then slowly changed colors into a black one. Her plain white gown shimmered and disappeared, it was slowly replaced by a gold chinese style dress. It was skin tight gold silk, sleeveless and had high slits up both sides. Two thick gold armbands appeared on either arm, and gold high heels appeared on her feet. She lowered to the ground and a gold fan, with two silver tassels hanging off the bottom, appeared in her hands. She smiled evilly and curtsied deeply,

"I am your loyal servant, Mistress Luna." She said, looking up at Planet, her eyes were a evil dark blue with a solid black pupil.

"And I." Planet stood up and curtsied as well, "I am your queen, Controllerplanet." she walked down the stairs from her throne and took Luna by the arm, "But, I am also your friend." They both laughed....

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Controllermatter took Water to the healer. A machine which planet had taken from a conquered planet. It was a square box, which could change shape to accommodate a body, and when one was placed in it, you would be healed and strengthened in a matter of minutes, depending on the extent of your injuries. As he set the dials, water groaned. "Matter-san, you must pay those senshi back."

"Hai, water-san, I will. In fact Planet-sama has instructed me to take out the two in Tokyo tomorrow. Fire-san told me that she overheard that they were two of the strongest. The team will be broken." He reasurred his friend.

Water smiled weakly, "Arigatou." Matter nodded and gently placed water in the box, his healing would take about 30 minutes. After he was asleep, matter turned and walked into the laboratory. He started to work on a what appeared to be a pair of bracelts. As he worked, someone walked in and kissed his cheek. He smiled and turned, Fire stood there in all her splendor. He kissed her revrently on the lips and said, "Has Planet sent you on a mission yet?"

"Iie, I think she is saving us two for last." Fire smiled, brushing her red hair back..

"Planet-sama has ordered me to take on the two in Tokyo." he said calmly.

"Nani!? I told you, even planet-sama seemed afraid of the one for saturn." she said, afraid, she rested her hands lovingly on his shoulders.

Matter smiled up at her, his brown eyes twinkling and said, "Iie, she told me just how to get them, but she doesn't want me to kill them, just capture them." Fire smiled sadly,

"Ganbatte." she said nervous......
