Chapter 14
A group of tired, complaining teenage girls met on top of the shrine roof with sailor suits on, if no one thought that was weird, then I don't know what is. Kayrah went over to Jupiter and tapped her on the shoulder. "Could you do a head count please, I would but gymnastics made me shorter than most people," she said. Lita didn't have time to be confused on how she knew that she had done gymnastics, she hadn't told anyone, it brought back to many sad memories. Lita did a quick head count and said, "all present and accounted for," to Kayrah. "Good," she said as she smiled at her, "you make me feel way to short," than she walked away shaking her head and laughing. "Oh Kay," thought Lita to herself. "Lets get a move on," said Serena, "Kayrah knows where to go, I think," Kayrah gave her an 'of course I know' look. Kayrah whispered something into Pluto's ear, and Pluto nodded. They raised their staffs simultaneously and brought them onto the ground with a loud 'clunk'. A large door appeared in front of them, everyone but the two girls gasped, 'the door of time' Serena thought to herself. "We may not be going back in time," Pluto said, "but it is a useful transportation device," she finished, a loud giggle ran over the crowd. One by one the girls walk through the gate. They come out onto a balcony looking over nothing. They were surrounded by a black darkness; the only light was coming from their shining auras. "Where are we?" asked Mina, her voice echoing until it disappeared into the darkness. Kayrah had a dazed look on her face. "We are inside the core of this evil," she said. "This, is the evil threatening us?" asked Haruka, "you can't be serious." "I am, this blackness is evil, the blacker the more evil there is here," Kayrah said. Then, a white shadow floated over their heads, it turned and looked at them. "I- it's," began Haruka. The creature was all white, dressed in a sailor fuku; she had wavy hair falling to her shoulder. "Michiru," finished Haruka. The creature turned around and floated away. "Wait! Michiru!" screamed Haruka. Someone laid a hand on her shoulder, it was Kayrah, "that is not her, Michiru is dead." "But," began Haruka, Kayrah shook her head. "Let's follow her," said Lara. "How?" asked Ami. "Easy, we go the way she's going," she jumped up, and started to float. Everyone followed her, "cool!" said Serena, "this is fun," she started to spin in circles. Lara shook her head in a combination of embarrassment and disgust, and floated after 'Michiru'. After floating for about five minutes, the came upon a brightly lit cavern, with a ma standing over a cauldron. They stopped floating and came down to the ground. "Ah, you are here early," said the man, "all the well, at least I was expecting you." The man raised his head, but what was there was so grotesque it wanted to make you throw up. The 'man' had bright red eyes, with yellow pupils, that were sinking into his 'head'. His flesh was greenish, and rotting off the bones in his face. His teeth were large, crooked, and pointy. He had its of white hair protruding from his skull. His hands were bone, and were covered with bits of rotting flesh and blood. Surprisingly, the room did not smell like a rotting corpse, but of sweet herbs, mostly cinnamon. "Welcome, sailor scouts," the man spoke, his voice full of a hateful evil, "welcome to your doom," he laughed evilly, the sound filling every crevice of the room, making even the cockroaches shiver and hide in their holes. "Who are you?" asked Hotaru, who was looking rather green. "I, young lady, am Muertado, the new ruler of this universe, of course, that's after a destroy you. Would you please just make this easy and give yourselves up to me?" he said a dangerous expression on his face. "Never!" shouted Haruka. "Didn't think so," sighed the Muertado, "die sailor scouts!" he yelled throwing a power at them. The sailor scouts screamed, but before the power could get them, the ghost of Michiru sped into the room and blocked it. The ghost spiraled through the air and went through the wall. "Not Michiru huh Kayrah," Haruka said staring, open mouthed, at the wall, Kayrah just shrugged. "Ahhhh," Muertado screamed in frustration, throwing his hands into the air. The sleeves of his long, baggy coat fell back a bit, displaying his arm. It was worse than his face, besides his rotting flesh and the blood, was the tendons, outlining what was supposed to be muscle. The arm was crawling with maggots; several dropped onto the ground. "Why can't anything go right!?" he screamed to the sky. He dropped his hands down, the sleeves going back into their places, covering the arms, and turned back to the scouts. He reeled up for another attack. "It's now or never!" shouted Kayrah. The five main rulers held hands as the man started to aim. "We call upon the powers of here and now, a circle of peace now we form!" shouted Kayrah, the man started to release his power. A glow appeared around the circle, "Universal Emblem of Peace Action!" they screamed while raising their hands, a burst of light emerged from the group at shot, faster than a bullet, into the sky. The man shot his power at them, it hit the column of light dead on, but bounced off and disintegrated, "No!" the man screamed. Pluto gasped suddenly, she recognized the seal appearing on the ceiling of the room, it was the design on the main gate, it was only missing the signs on the edges, and suddenly she got an idea. "Come on! We gotta help, otherwise they're lost," she shouted at the others, they all nodded. The air was alive with the names of planets, then, emerging from the column of light was more scouts, adding their power to the Symbol. Last of all out of the column was Sailor Neptune who collapsed on the floor, than stood up and yelled, "Neptune Power!" the last symbol, of Neptune, was added to the column of light. All of a sudden, it glowed, and shots of light came from the column of light. One hit the man, he started to scream, it was full of pain and anger. He started to convulse, then his feet started to turn into dust, when they did his whole body became dust, very slowly, the air full of screams, until the last grain of dust fell onto the cobblestone floor. Almost immediately the dust was swept away by wind. The light engulfed the earth, filling everyone with a sense of peace. The light hit a ship of unknown aliens, who were coming to invade Earth next. Before they disintegrated the leader said, "oh shoot, defeated before we even attack, figures." All of a sudden the light went into itself, and back into the people. Kayrah, Lara, Darien, Serena, and Sierra just stood up for a minute, then collapsed to the floor below, which was starting to crumble, like the old man, into a desert in the middle of nowhere. The rest of the exhausted scouts fell onto the ground, the extra scouts, except Michiru, disappeared to where they were before. Haruka and Michiru ran to each other and hugged. All the scouts smiled at them, and then went to assist the five main rulers. Karen had Kayrah's head in her lap, when Kayrah sighed and woke up, coughing a little bit. The other four woke up at the same time. Everyone started hugging each other and started to laugh with relief. Every one greeted Michiru with 'I'm so glad your back's and 'thank you's. Michiru looked at all of them and said, "let's go home, it's almost morning. Everyone agreed.
