Lady Une looked out from her balcony, leaning on the railing and looking up at the stars, her neck craning to see all the beautiful flames of light. She heard someone move from behind her and she whirled around, her long brown hair whipping in the air. She gasped as she saw the familiar silhouette of someone she knew… someone who had died before her eyes. "No…" she breathed. "Hello Lady." The voice was the same, the same voice of the man she had fallen in love with. "Mister… Trieze." She whispered, a tear running the side of her face.
Foolish woman. The God of Death thought. //Don't you dare hurt her. I love her too much for you to hurt her in any way.// What are you doing here?! I left you back in the deepest recesses of Hell! //It wouldn't stop me. I died to save the earth, and using my body to destroy someone of this earth is unforgivable.// Lady Une took a step towards the figure, he appeared into the light. "I thought you… I thought you died…" she whispered almost inaudibly. "I'm back Lady… and I've come back to you…" he stepped forward pulling the former OZ colonel into a quick embrace. "I… need your help." He said softly. "Anything." She said eagerly. "I need you to reassemble the mobile suit troops. There is a new force that I need to destroy. And destroy utterly-" he was cut off as a pain ran through his entire body. "Mister Trieze!" cried Lady Une putting her hand to his shoulder. A red gleam flashed in his eyes. "Oh god!" she gasped. She knew there was something wrong with him. "Lady… get… away… from… me… now!" he gasped, struggling it seemed with himself. "Don't trust anything… I ever… say… to… you." He managed to say before he yelled in pain.
Lady Une knew that he was fighting… fighting against whatever was in him. Every emotion as a human told her to stay and stand by the side of the man she loved… but she knew that he wasn't the man she loved… he was there, but he wasn't all there. Touching his shoulder one last time, she ran for the car and slammed on the gas pedal away from the place where she had been wishing that she could have had a life with the man she loved. Well, she'd gotten her wish… but with a sad twist of fate. She headed to where she knew she would be safe. Quatre's mansion, where all the old gundam pilots resided.

Relena stared down at the locket in her hand. It sparkled with Earth in the back round and a crescent moon shining over it. Heero stood next to her. "What is it?" he asked her softly, if a little gruffly. "It's a transformation locket like Serena's… I'm a Sailor Senshi…" she said using the unfamiliar Japanese word. "But you weren't at the fight today…" he said. Relena felt a tear course down her face. "I know! And I feel horrible for it! I could have helped them! I have the power of the Lunarian line and I didn't help my own cousin against the God of Death!" the guilt was weighted heavily on her shoulders. Heero looked at her in veiled pity. She had enough paperwork as Princess of the Sanq Kingdom… but the pressure of all this guilt and the power of… he shook his head. It was more than one girl should handle.
"You are a pacifist. They are soldiers. If they truly need your help, you will be there to help them." She nodded slowly. "How do you do it Heero?"
"Do what?"
"Be able to make me have confidence in myself again."
"Call it a talent."
"I know. You've got too many for me to count Heero."
"Not funny."
"I wasn't joking."
He looked up at her questioningly, but her blue eyes were serious. Suddenly, her eyes widened as she felt a heat in her hand. The locket was flashing. "Oh no! Serena's in trouble!" she cried jumping to her feet. She raced towards the door, unaware that Heero was right behind her as she dashed to Serena's room. Darien, seeing the mad dash, knew that something had happened and ran after them.
The door slammed open to reveal a purple-black portal opening above Serena, ready to engulf her. "NO! GET AWAY FROM MY COUSIN!" yelled Relena in fury and fright over losing Serena all over again. "TRANQUILITY MOON POWER MAKE-UP!" she yelled before she knew what was happening. A bright flash of light appeared around her and a sailor fuku appeared on her, (AN: It was more similar to the Starlights' fukus than the Sailors.) It was a two-piece type of fuku and around her thin stomach, rings of gold surrounded her and her skirt came to mid-thigh, white with another black one underneath it that reached a little lower than the one on top. The top was similar, white on black with a symbol the Earth and the royal crescent moon over it.
Heer gaped at the drastic change in Relena's attire. It was… different. That was the only word he would allow himself to think. If he didn't do so, he would have been standing there wide-eyed, jaw hanging open and drooling… much like Duo was doing in the doorway. "TERRAN SPARKLING SHOWER!" she yelled, her instincts controlling her instead of her mind. She focused her energy into that single beam aimed at the portal. The colors inside it shuddered before melting away completely leaving a light glowing from the former Relena Peacecraft, and at the moment, Sailor Tranquility, the Soldier of Peace.
Serena's eyes opened and she gasped for air. "Oh god! I couldn't make it out of there by myself! Relena!" Relena ran to her cousin, tears streaking down her face. "I thought I'd lose you again!" she cried burying her face in her older cousin's shoulder. "Oh Relena… I'm okay… see? Was it that hard?" Relena looked up and smiled. "No… but I doubt it would be the same with a youma." Serena shook her head. "No… they're simply like that portal, concentrated evil… just that they move a lot more and are more tricky to destroy." Serena stood up and made an elaborate curtsy, "I welcome thee to this world, Sailor Tranquility…" she said laughing.
Relena looked down and gasped turning red. "AHHH!! Oh god! I look like…"
"Me."
"Um… that was meant as a compliment."
"Very funny." The two laughed and turned back to the group centered near the doorway. "Um… yeah… how do I turn this off?" she asked Serena, turning away to hide her pink face. "Concentrate the energy back into the locket." Serena instructed her. Closing her eyes, a flash of light enveloped Relena before she appeared in her normal clothes once more, this time the locket pinned to her shirt.
Turning back, she noticed Heero staring at her strangely. "I did it… I transformed." She said happily smiling at him. He allowed himself to give her a VEERRRYYY small smile but it was noticeable… to her. Serena noticed it too and grinned at Heero. He remained indifferent though. Darien came up to her, his eyes dark with concern. "Are you all right, Serena?" he asked her. "Yeah…"
His expression relaxed a bit. "I'm sorry… I wouldn't have left you alone if I had known this would happen…" Serena smiled her bright smile. "S'Kay, Darien! I'm fine." He smiled an answering smile at her, one she had rarely seen. "Hey! Besides, it's new that you're not calling me Meatball Head anymore!" she said grinning.
It was when they had all walked back to the front door where the fight had been when Duo sauntered over to Hotaru, smiling at her. "Hey, who are you? What's that thingamabobber that you were holding in the fight?" Hotaru blinked and looked over at Amara and Michelle. Is he trustworthy? Her eyes seemed to ask them. A quick nod from Michelle allowed Hotaru to smile at Duo. "I'm Hannah Tomoe, and that 'thingamabobber' is the Silence Glaive. I'm the Senshi of Silence and Rebirth." Duo blinked, "I know about the Rebirth gig and all… but what's the Silence Glaive for?" Hannah's face darkened. "To destroy a world." She said tonelessly, the light going out of her eyes. Michelle looked over Hannah's shoulder shaking her head soundlessly at Duo without Hotaru seeing her. "Oh… so you really ARE a Death goddess." He said mournfully. Hannah smiled. "Yes… I suppose I am."
"Duo! Hey Duo!" a familiar voice rang across the driveway as a girl with short black hair leapt out of a car that had just pulled up. "Hilde!" he called catching her as the young woman ran up to hug him. "How ya doing babe?" She frowned. "I told you not to call me that." Duo simply laughed. "Aww… but you can stand it from me right?" Hilde rolled her eyes before noticing the four new girls. "Oh! You have guests? I'm so sorry!"
"Hilde, Hilde, Hilde. What am I going to do with you?" a sweet voice came from the car as a redhead with blue eyes appeared from the side door. "Catherine!" Quatre exclaimed as she came forward to peck him lightly on the cheek, making him flush slightly. The driver appeared and stepped forward. "Hey people! How's everything…" she trailed off as she noticed the small crater in the brick wall. "Whoa! Did a mobile suit punch your wall or what?" Serena stepped forward. "Um… no, actually I did that…" she said a little quietly. Sally looked at her in amazement. "You punched the wall?"
"No… someone else slammed me into the wall."
"And you survived… whew!" she smiled at her holding out her hand for a handshake, "I'm Sally Po." She introduced herself. "Serena Tsukino." Replied Serena shaking Sally's hand. Hilde and Catherine both introduced themselves quickly and the explanations began anew starting from the reason Serena could be alive after a blast like that and then stemming onto the fact that they were Sailor Senshi.
*SCREECH*
All of their heads jerked up from the patio where they were all sitting at patio tables. A car had slammed on the brakes in front of them and a very worried looking Lady Une appeared from the driver's seat. "I'm so sorry to bother all of you… especially now… but Mister Trieze has returned and someone-no something, has taken over him somehow… he went to my house and he wants to kill all of you!" she managed to gasp out. Relena ran over to help the lady, ironically the one who had assassinated her adopted father. "It's alright Lady… we'll stop him." Serena stood up. "Where do you live?" she asked seriously. Lady Une looked at her questioningly. "She's Serena Tsukino, she and those three over there, Alexandra, Michelle and Hannah are staying here for a while."
Lady Une nodded. "Yes… very nice to meet you…" she murmured. "But how will we stop… Mister Trieze?" Michelle, Alex, and Hannah all stood up. "We're going to stop him." they all said simply. Lady Une nodded her head slowly. "But… this would destroy the peace that we made if we bring back the mobile suits!" she exclaimed thinking things thoroughly. "We don't need the gundams… we can fight without. First… where do you live?" asked Hotaru and Lady Une looked at the four teenage girls. "It's… not in the Sanq Kingdom… but it's on the outskirts of the kingdom." Relena's eyes widened. "And you drove all the way here?" she asked gasping. Lady Une nodded tiredly, "I drove all night. He was there… he somehow came in to my house and out onto my balcony without my knowing it."
"That's because he can use the transportation spells using the dimensional Time chambers." A timeless voice floated through the air to them and they looked up startled to see an older looking woman, with black hair and natural green highlights dressed in a sailor fuku. "Sailor Pluto! What happened?!" cried Serena, the Soldier of Eternity almost never left her post at the Gates of Time. "Another presence has passed through the doors with you. We need to destroy him here and now. Before he corrupts any other dimensions and tears the time-stream apart."
"Who is she?" asked Lady Une to Relena quietly. "She's…" murmured Relena faintly remembering the familiar lady. "Pluto… she's Sailor Pluto." She said remembering. "Good work Princess." Sailor Pluto said as she floated down to the ground. The Time Staff she held in her hand. "He can control all the Outer Senshi because he was the origin of our energy and power… the Inner Senshi are all under his brother's power. The only ones left are Sailor Moon, Sailor Tranquility, Tuxedo Mask, and the Dragon of Thunder."
"Huh? Who's that?"
"Him. Heero Yuy."
"WHAT??!!!" the whole group of people immediately turned to stare at Heero. "Kokoro Shinsetsu, you are the rightful holder of the Sword of Strength." She said holding out her hands. A glow appeared and when it flashed so bright that they had to look away, a sword with a jade hilt carved with dragons appeared and floated towards Heero.
As soon as he touched it, a bright glowing light engulfed him hiding him from the prying eyes of his friends. When he re-appeared, he was wearing all black. A black tank top with long baggy black pants (AN: Street Fighter type clothes.) and on the shirt a gold dragon emblazoned on it, its eyes a glittering red. "OH!" cried Relena, a whirl of memory rushing through her mind. The outside world faded as the pictures whipped past her eyes. A picture of her and Heero sparring… of them both laughing and running away from a worried Luna and Artemis when their sparring got a little dangerous… Of Heero's smile…
"Kokoro Shinsetsu? WHAT does it mean? " Duo's question ripped her out her thoughts and remembrances to bring her back to Earth. "His name… the one given to him when he was young. Kind Heart." She answered softly, her voice carrying in the still air. Heero shot her a surprised glance. "How-?" he asked. Relena shook her head. Pluto floated down. "This new enemy has enforced the Inner Senshi and they can very well take control over the Outer Senshi as well. We will fight but we will not make much of a difference." She said softly. Serena smiled. "It doesn't matter. We will always triumph. And it does not matter whether we are separated and controlled by another. We are joined by the link of Sailor Planet Power. This gift we use to fight the destruction of any world." Pluto nodded. "You are already brave as you are now, Neo-Queen Serenity. And you shall always triumph in your battles… when we defeat this one."
Hotaru had been listening quietly to Pluto. "But… Pluto, Heero doesn't know what his power is." she said quietly as her manner was. She surprised the Senshi of Time, "Oh dear… yes, you're quite right… Relena? I'm sure you know his power… teach him." Relena felt all eyes turn to her and she turned pink. "Uh… PLUTO!!" she gasped as she remembered his attack. She grinned, ridding herself of some of the mysterious aura. "Aw… Princess Relena, you're hesitating to show him what he needs to know to survive?" she asked and Serena, catching on giggled. Heero was still in blissful ignorance, but was still confused.
"Fine. Come on Heero, we're staying a little while longer it seems." Mumbled Relena quietly, her face a bright pink. Duo blinked at Hannah. "Huh?" she grinned. "You'll see."
"Uh… sure…" with that, they all went back into the mansion to wait in the HUGE parlor room where Pluto de-transformed into Susan Meioh and explained to them (except Darien) why Heero was another soldier from the Moon Kingdom.
They had gone into the gym where Relena knew they would have enough space. "Well… when you are actually going to fight, you'll go through another transformation… a… how do I say it… different?" she mumbled to him. "Relena… if you're going to show me anything, would you mind letting me hear?" She flushed. "Oh… sorry… well, okay let's get this over with. When you fight, your transformation will immediately take place. You'll become stronger and it will be necessary to focus mass amounts of energy into the transformation. Your main attack is with your sword, I'm sure you know how to use it for simple dueling types, I've seen you do it… But when you need to wipe out the armies that will go up against you, a way to protect AND defend is to let the power travel through the sword and it will create a type of dome or force field that will protect and destroy at the same time."
Heero nodded slowly. "Okay, try it against me now." Relena instructed. "WHAT?!"
"What?"
"Are you saying you want me to kill you?" a smirk came from his lips, his eyes flashing dangerously. "No… but simply wait a moment. TRANQUILITY PEACE PROTECTOR MAKE-UP!" she was once again clothed in the Sailor fuku. Heero had to count backwards from one hundred to keep himself under control. She looked…
::Come on! Say it!::
Not you again!
::Of course me again! Who else could it be?::
…
::Can't you admit she's beautiful? Come on, you know it. I can read your mind.::
Damn authoress!
::Excuse me…?::
Nothing.
"Heero?" she asked him waving a gloved hand in front of his face. He caught it in his hand and it immediately tensed. "Come on… let's see how my teaching skills worked out." She said. "Bring it on!" she called pulling her hand out of his loose grip and stepping backwards putting up a fighting stance. "You've got it." He answered charging at her, she caught the punch he aimed at her face. "Nuh uh. Let's work with the weapons." She said pulling a wand out of nowhere that instantly transformed into a sword. Steel met steel in a clash and then again.
"HEY!" cried Relena as she just managed to dodge a blow from Heero, it sliced off several strands of hair. "Watch it!" she noticed the change going on and smirked slightly.
Oh authoress…
::Mmhmm?::
You're doing this on purpose aren't you?
::Uh huh.::
Would you mind NOT letting him kill me in the process?
::Yeah I know. He won't. What would that do to the story line?!::
I'm SO comforted.
Relena watched as a glowing began to cover Heero in its light. His tank top disappeared leaving his bare chest and as she watched the armor made from the scales of dragons long gone appeared over him, representing his destiny. "STOP!" she yelled grabbing his arm. He stopped instantly gasping for breath before looking down at the transformation that had happened to him. "What…?" he asked her. She smiled. "That's your transformation." She answered simply. She de-transformed quickly and stretching. "And Heero?" she said before turning away to go out of the room. "Yes?"
"I'm glad you're back."
She left him in a state of confusion. He didn't dare follow her yet, but stood there sword in hand, thinking of what she said, and what she might have meant. He hadn't left her… anytime soon that he could think of…
::It doesn't mean someone won't leave you, Heero.::
What do you mean?
::You'll find out.::
Heero shuddered. He had been left behind too many times in his youth, he wouldn't have his heart broken by someone close to him. And the only answer it seemed to that problem… was if he didn't get to close to anyone at all… But he'd lived his life like that for all his life… and found no reward for the emptiness in his heart. He remembered a quote Quatre had once read 'It is better to love and lost than to never love at all.' Was that the road to true peace and happiness?
He de-transformed without even knowing he could, it was instinctive. He walked into the parlor room to see them all sitting there drinking (yes you guessed it!) tea. "He's learned his transformation." Said Relena from her spot that she had recently taken up beside Dorothy and an empty spot. He walked over and sat down beside her, to everyone's surprise. "So what are we supposed to be fighting?" he asked seriously to Susan. "Two brothers, the rulers of Hell." She replied her voice gloomy. "This does not bode well for us since they have the powers of the Inner Senshi at their disposal. We cannot let our guard down for a moment. But what troubles me is if we have to destroy the Inner Senshi, many Time streams will be destroyed." Serena looked horrified. "Can we not bring them back on our side?!" she cried. "We might not be able to… the lure of the Death gods is powerful, not many can resist it. I'm not certain if they are strong enough to resist."
Serena nodded slowly, her face losing hope rapidly. Relena walked over to hug her cousin. "They ARE strong. I don't know what the Death gods did to turn them against you but they ARE your friends and always will be. You're not meant to be with Death God… you're meant to be the ruler of Crystal Tokyo." Serena nodded. "I know… we've got to save them." She turned to Pluto. "How do we fight them?" she asked seriously. Relena returned to her original seat, between Heero and Dorothy. "I don't know for sure. The Outer Senshi might be able to weaken his shield slightly since he has to keep it up. And we would be able to fight the Inner Senshi. The two gods themselves, Sailor Moon, Sailor Tranquility, Tuxedo Mask, and Dragon of Thunder will have to fight by themselves."
"Is there anything we can do?" asked Duo. "I can't stand to see all of you guys go off, Relena included and we can't do a thing!"
"You have not any mystical power, but if you can lend your energy to the four that will fight the Death brothers, then you would be a perfect back-up plan." Said Setsuna slowly.
It was Catherine who stood up. "We would do anything to help our friends. You are all our friends though we haven't known each other for long. If anything calls for 'soldier work' we will be there." She told them. Relena smiled. "I knew you guys would want to fight." Her statement was pointed to the girl next to her.
"Let's go kick some Hellfire butt!" yelled Alex leaping to her feet. Serena nodded. "Yes. Let's go." They walked out onto the patio where no servants could see the transformations.
"COSMIC MOON POWER MAKE-UP!"
"TRANQUILITY MOON POWER MAKE-UP!"
"PLUTO PLANET POWER MAKE-UP!"
"SATURN PLANET POWER MAKE-UP!"
"NEPTUNE PLANET POWER MAKE-UP!"
"URANUS PLANET POWER MAKE-UP!"
The five Sailor Senshi were instantly clothed in their Sailor fukus. The two guys simply held up their talismans, a rose and a sword and found themselves clothed and masked without much noise. "Let's get going!" yelled Sailor Moon. Sailor Tranquility looked down at her fuku. "Will I have to kill?" she asked her cousin. "You might… but it is for the good of the world." She replied. They all joined hands, closing their eyes the gathered people could see the colored auras of them all glowing around them. "SAILOR SCOUT TELEPORT!" the scouts yelled in a chorus before they disappeared. Dorothy shook her head slowly. "I will never get used to that." she said quietly looking at the empty air that the soldiers had once stood moments earlier.
Trowa came up behind her quietly, like he always did. "We'd better hurry. They'll need our help as well." He said simply. She nodded slowly, "I know…" the more subdued group went back into the mansion and gathering anything that would defend themselves against whatever they might need to fight, they stood there, worried of the princess, the warrior, and the senshi.
Sailor Moon stared in horror at the multi-colored wall in front of them. "STOP!" she yelled breaking the contact and plummeting them towards the Earth. They landed slowly. "What was that about Sailor Moon?!" yelled Tuxedo Mask angrily, "We're not even close!" Sailor Moon flinched visibly and Uranus glared at the masked man. "Shut up fool. You have no idea the magic that we all possess. You cannot fathom the power we use and need and have to channel through to fight. You know nothing. So don't you dare accuse any of us for our judgement." She growled at him. Pluto looked over at Sailor Moon sadly. They were supposed to have been together a long time from now… I wonder why the time stream didn't go as it was planned… she wondered.
::Because I made it different.::
Who's this?
::I'm the authoress!::
Why would you not want Serena to be happy?
::Don't worry. She'll end up with him anyway. I'm not that cruel.::
Pluto nodded, smiling softly. Sailor Moon looked at the shining wall of colors, blue, green, red, and gold shone in a almost transparent wall. "It's the power of the senshi… (AN: You've all seen them doing so in Crystal Tokyo.) they're making this wall." She said quietly.
Glad you finally figured it out Meatball Dork.
Sailor Moon's head jerked up as she heard Raye's familiar voice.
What are you doing?! she sent out telepathically.
What does it look like? Stopping you.
Raye, please! Let me through! We need to destroy these two brothers and then you guys can be free!
We are free. We're free to fight against who we are meant to fight against. Sorry, no deal Moon brat.
RAYE!
Sailor Moon cried as a blast of red magic shot out from the wall and into her. Sorry Raye… all of you… but I have to do this, she thought sadly. "MOON CRISIS POWER!" she yelled holding out the Purity chalice and transforming into Super Sailor Moon. "RAINBOW MOON HEART ACHE!" she yelled channeling her magic through the wand. She could feel her hand blistering from the intense heat of the wand and she grasped on with all her willpower to keep from screaming in pain. "TRANQUILITY REVENGE ENSNARE!" Relena yelled as a wand appeared in her hand, one of turquoise and a white and silver moon and Earth melded together at the top. A blast of turquoise erupted from her wand and the wall finally began to give way. The two girls were forcing their energy through the barrier, and the glowing of the multi-colored wall died down before flickering out of existence. The two girls dropped to their knees, Super Sailor Moon de-transforming into Sailor Moon again. Heero bent down to pick up Relena in his arms and Uranus, after seeing Tuxedo Mask making no move to pick her up, picked Sailor Moon up in her arms.
"I'm all right… just a little tired." She murmured softly. "I know. But this way you need to save your strength for when you really need to battle." Answered Uranus.
Tuxedo Mask remained indifferent. God, she's just a stupid girl! I have to protect her, she's the only asset left to defend the world… Oh great, now she's simply a weapon, good going Darien. Aisheteru. Oh god… she loves me? But… how could she? I've hardly ever said a civil word to her and she loves me? But the Dream Princess… I love her don't I? I know she loves me… his thoughts raced through his mind quicker than he could grasp them, he didn't know the frenzied look in his eyes, well hidden by the domino mask.
::Maybe I can help. (Yes, in a sympathetic tone, you'll find that I'm very nice… most of the time.)::
Oh it's you.
::Of course it's me! But why don't you like Serena?::
…
::
::What are you talking about?!::
Why do you think he's been acting so nice towards Relena? And do you think he's totally mad because of it?::
That's his problem. I don't care for Serena. My princess from my dreams loves me… and I love her. I know I do.
::L Sorry, can't help you much if you still believe such a thing. I mean… okay, here, for once, just look at Sailor Moon. Don't you dare think anything mean or nasty of her… what do you see?::
What do you mean? I see a whiny, weak, weird-haired blond, crybaby!
::(Hits Tuxedo Mask with a huge mallet borrowed from Akane) YOU IDIOT! First of all, whiny, she whines… it's all a stupid act she has to put up! Two you say she's weak, who was the one who defeated all your past enemies? Weird hair? Try saying that to Queen Serenity! And last of all, crybaby, sure she cries, and I wonder who it is she cries for! YOU ARE A BLIND IDIOT! HOW MANY MOON PRINCESSES CAN YOU THINK OF THAT CAN ENTER YOUR DREAMS?!::
"OW!" Tuxedo Mask yelled out of nowhere. They whirl around expecting to see at least a youma behind them. Nope, they see Tuxedo Mask rubbing his head, his top hat squashed flat on his head. "What happened?" asked Sailor Moon quickly. "Damn authoress." He muttered.
Uranus, Neptune and Saturn blinked. "Huh?" they asked.
::Hey Relena! Do you think Serena would mind too much if I hit him unconscious? God he's getting on my nerves!::
I'm sure she would mind… what are you talking about?
::God, he's even worse to nudge in the right direction than Heero! GAHH!!
Let me guess… he doesn't remember Serena's his true love.
::You betcha. And he won't listen to me at all!::
Can't help you there. And he didn't even have military training like Heero!
::Yeah… well, I'll think up my revenge… (Smiles gleefully so that even Relena can see it, you know Chesire cat style)::
Forget pacifism! GO AND KICK HIS ASS! (AN: Note that Relena's different when it comes to her cousin.)
::(Brandishes Akane's borrowed mallet inn preparation and grins evilly.)::
"Um… what did you mean by 'Damn authoress'?" asked Saturn curiously. "Never mind… you'll find out soon." He muttered under his breath. Uranus had let Sailor Moon stand on her own feet again. Heero, seeing Relena's desire for her feet to meet the Earth again, put her down gently.
Relena grinned evilly, a totally different smile from her usually diplomatic smile. Tuxedo Mask did not feel comfortable with that smirk aimed at him. "Let's get moving." Said Sailor Moon softly. "Yeah… we have a ways to go." Agreed Relena, the smirk still fastened to her face. She played with her wand like a baton and *accidentally* whacked Tuxedo Mask in the back of his head with it. "Oops! I'm SO sorry!"
::Hey Saturn… (in a sing-song voice)::
"Who's there?" she asked out loud but no one heard her.
::Just think the words, I'm the authoress!::
What do you want?
::How much do you know of Tuxedo Mask?::
To tell you the truth, I find him a dork.::
You do, do you… (An evil grin similar to Relena's)::
Yup. Come on! Roses! A little dorky, ne?
::I agree completely… I know I can't kill him… Serena would be too sad… but do you think you could use your Silence Glaive and hit him over the head for me?::
Saturn grins, No problem! She promises to the authoress glancing at Tuxedo Mask who is thinking that there is a conspiracy against him… which there is. Never mess with the person who writes the entire fic and controls everyone!
They had reached the gigantic black castle and Sailor Moon looked up at it in a little fear. "I don't like the look of this place." She murmured. "No duh Sailor Moon… how many bad guys do you think there are?" asked Tuxedo Mask sarcastically. *BONK* "OW!" he yelled whirling around to see Sailor Saturn with her Silence Glaive in hand. "Um… sorry… it slipped." She said innocently. Relena, having seen her, began giggling behind a gloved hand.
Pluto had to smile. She had seen that coming… but she didn't think it'd be that funny. The authoress was too good at meddling… even if it was with Endymion… her face hardened. He's Serenity's… not mine. She told herself sadly but convinced. She was the Soldier of Eternity… she would bear this cross for all eternity if it would mean happiness for her queen.
Uranus blinked slowly. "Sure…" she said slowly before turning back to Sailor Moon who was surprisingly calm. "There's something wrong with the vibes coming from that castle." Murmured Sailor Moon. "How can you sense those?" exclaimed Neptune in surprise. "I don't know… wait. It's an illusion! That's not where they are, it's just an illusion!" as she said the words, the image of the dark castle flickered like a mirage in a desert before disappearing from sight. Instead, a huge snake was lying coiled on the top of the mountain, it's head lifted up and it hissed a warning down at them, the sound coming down in waves. "Oh god… now that's not a mirage." Murmured Sailor Moon staring at the huge eyes of the massive snake.
Uranus nodded. "You're right about that." she said, her Space Sword in her hand. "Come on. The Outers can handle this one." She said loudly. They quickly flew upwards towards the tip of the mountain.
(Someone, somewhere whispers, "Since when can they fly?" Another voice whispers back, "Lazy authoress.")
"SPACE SWORD BLASTER!"
"NEPTUNE SUBMARINE REFLECTION!"
"SATURN SILENCE GLAIVE APPLY!"
"PLUTO DEAD SCREAM!"
The four attacks, their colors purple, deep violet, turquoise, and orange-gold slammed into the snake, toppling it off the mountain to face them. "NEPTUNE DEEP SUBMERGE!" yelled Neptune slamming a glowing ball of turquoise energy at the monstrous snake. "URANUS WORLD SHAKING!" another ball of energy blasted into the snake. "PLUTO DEAD SCREAM!" yelled Pluto, "SATURN SILENCE WALL!" yelled Saturn finishing the snake off as it disappeared into nothing but multicolored dust.
::Hey Amara!::
It's the authoress right?
::Uh huh. Now… how do you like the idea of getting even with Tuxedo Mask for being so mean to Serena?::
Uranus got a devious look in her eyes, Do tell.
::Heehee. I knew you'd think so! How's this idea? A small hit on the head with your Space Sword! It won't hurt him… that much and besides, everyone's taking a turn! I did, Saturn did… and I'm gonna ask everyone else!::
- Not bad! You got it!
An evil grin is placed on the face of Sailor Uranus that totally differs from the usually unconcerned look she wears. Tuxedo Mask shivers slightly at the thought of what might happen to him.
