Title: Meeting with the Enemy
By: Ella aka Serena



As Mina called this, she suddenly transformed. Her eyes were closed, since she could detect she was spinning. When she was done with all this turning and finally stopped, Artemis jumped on her shoulder as Mina examined the costume.

She still had her red hair ribbon in her hair, she had a white necklace with a yellow crescent moon, like Artemis's, and red glasses or a mask. Obviously, it was used to hide her face. Her shirt had a plate of white armor that went from the chest up and had a shoulder shield over her shoulder on both sides. Under the armored plate there was a shirt that was white in the center, and red on both sides of it. It had a blue flap with two red stripes on them, starting from in the front and going to the back. There was a red ribbon on the center of her shirt sitting where the flap started and her orange locket was in the center of the ribbon, and it looked as if it had turned into a clear orange orb. It was still pretty! She had white gloves that came up to her elbow with three orange rings around the edge of the gloves. She had on a short blue skirt with a red all around the edge and a blue ribbon on back. Her shoes were were blue high heels. She had on a blue ribbon on her both ankles. Mina was stunned.

"Now I'm Sailor V...?" Mina asked, still looking at her dress.

"Yep. You are Sailor V. You are the champion of love and justice! To all those who are evil, you shall conquer," explained Artemis. Mina nodded and removed her red mask.

"Alright, but how am I supposed to fight the evil?"

"Step outside and I'll explain it to you." They went outside. It was evening, probably around 7pm. The sky was dark and there was a slight breeze. Other than that, it was a still, spring evening. Mina must not have noticed her parents when they came home. She missed dinner, too.

"Try this, all you have to say is Venus Crescent Beam Smash, and you're body will just know what to do. Your other moves are Venus Love Chain and Circles, Venus Love Me Chain, and Venus Electric Power Punch. Got those down?" Mina nodded and put her mask back on. She decided to try her moves.

"Venus Crescent Beam Smash!" Mina cried. Her hand raised to the sky with her finger pointed and then went horizontal as a beam shot from her finger tip. The beam was orange. Mina was stunned! It was like magic!

"How did I do that?" Mina asked. Artemis could see she was amazed but still enjoying it.

"It is because you are Sailor V. It just comes with being a super hero." Artemis said. Mina nodded again and tried out her other attacks.

"Venus Love Chain-" Artemis interrupted Mina's trying of moves.

"You better not try all of them yet. I'll give you a brief description of your attacks. Venus Crescent Beam Smash is a beam that is used to injure the enemy. Venus Love Chain and Circles is used to wrap around the enemy, as a rope. Your Venus Love Me Chain is pretty muchly the same as a Venus Love Chain and Circles. It wraps around the enemy, except a surge of electricity will jolt through the chain and get the enemy to do what you want, but it doesn't last very long. Your Venus Electric Power Punch is a punch that you can use up close or far away. It knocks the enemy back and shocks them."

"Okay. Where do we start? I mean, where do we start to find Madison?" Artemis thought a moment. As Artemis thought, they disappeared from where they were standing. They were being transported somewhere. They both reappeared in an icy cave. Mina looked around her and Artemis did the same.

"Hello, Sailor Scout. We meet again..." Sailor V turned around and looked at someone who was sitting on an icy throne. She had long red hair and wore a purple dress. She had a black staff in her hand and had a black tiara on. She had a one white and one black bracelet on too. Sailor V couldn't see her eye color... They might have been clear eyes. Artemis mumbled something to Sailor V.

"Think before you speak..." Sailor V and Artemis just looked at the lady like she was going to get it.

"Remember me, Sailor Scout?" the lady asked. Her voice sounded hard and cold and evil. Sailor V just stayed silent. Artemis spoke.

"She does, Queen Beryl. Give back Madison now. She has nothing to do with any of this!"

"Oh, Artemis, you're so funny! Now who is this Sailor? Venus or little princess Serenity?" Sailor V flinched behind her mask.

"I am Sailor V, champion of love and justice! On behalf of Venus, I will punish you!" Mina raised her arm toward the roof of the cave and pointed her finger.

"Venus Crescent Beam Smash!" she shouted. Sailor V lowered her hand and pointed her finger at Queen Beryl and the orange beam shot out toward Queen Beryl. Queen Beryl smirked evilly and a tied of Madison appeared in front of Queen Beryl as a human shield.

"No!" screamed Sailor V as the beam stopped right before it hit Madison and disappeared. Sailor V ran up to Madison but then Madison disappeared again. Then, Queen Beryl held out her staff as icecicles formed up around it. She commanded the icecicles to hit Sailor V, and Sailor V started running since they were coming straight for her and Artemis. Sailor V ran quickly and picked up Artemis and jumped over a boulder as all the icecicles hit the boulder. Sailor V came out from behind the boulder and looked at Queen Beryl.

"Give Madison back!" shouted Sailor V.

"What would I ever do that for?" Queen Beryl smirked.

"She has nothing to do with any of this!" Artemis said.

"Oh yes, she does. I want to challenge this scout to a battle. If I win, Princess Venus dies, and I destroy Earth. If not, Venus will destroy me and that will be the end of it. I took this child as a hostage, so I know she will surely fight. Now, now, Sailor V. Don't think about attacking me. I have a human shield remember." Sailor V glared from behind her mask. Artemis called back to Queen Beryl.

"When will this battle be?"

"I'll call you. For now, bye bye." Queen Beryl moved her hand and Artemis and Sailor V started to levitate. Sailor V gave Queen Beryl a determined look and then Artemis and Sailor V disappeared. Queen Beryl stood up.

"The same look she gave me the time of the Silver Millenium. An I'll get you look." Queen Beryl stepped outside of her cave as the snow fell. She looked over the land with a blanket of snow all over it.
