Genocide- or Dimensional Crossroads Part II
By Space Ghost
" I see that you have completed your task", Amethyst said with a smirk, " Good work". Satsuka and Tagahirou nodded once and then returned to their respective posts.
Amethyst Millenia let out a sigh of definite pride then turned her head to the cloaked figure of Necron and said, " What do you suggest our next move be, Necron?"
Necron, standing, head down as if he were asleep, slowly rose his head, but even then, his face could not be seen within the cloak. " I believe that the sailor scouts will soon be going to Crystal Tokyo to investigate... I suggest we make an appearance and introduce ourselves....", Necron said resolutely.
" I like that idea, I want to see these foolish girls in person...", Amethyst said
Meanwhile, at the time gate, Sailor Moon, the scouts, and Tuxedo Mask had all gathered with the help of Sailor Pluto. Sailor Pluto was still badly injured, but able to walk and use her powers, though she walked with a very obvious limp, so she used her staff as a crutch to help her limp to the doors of time. She slowly turned to face the scouts and said, " Listen please. I know you wish to help the future and all of us, and for that I am grateful, but I beg you heed my warning. I do not know whom has caused this terrible deed, but I know whoever it is, is very strong, because though I did not see who did this, I did see the small ball of energy fall from the sky and grow enormously until it completely covered Crystal Tokyo. Though, I did not witness the full effect of that terrible energy, because I was hit and knocked unconscious by several debris blasts of energy, but when I awoke, I saw that Crystal Tokyo was in complete ruins. So please, take care, and be cautious of any suspicious looking characters".
" Don't worry Pluto, we'll be careful, and we'll make whoever that did this pay!", Sailor Moon said enthusiastically.
" Good luck to you then" Pluto said, and opened the time gate doors.
The scouts and Tuxedo Mask entered the vortex and walked through the time passages with an unbelievable determination. The time passage was a black void that occasionally pulsed with particles of all different kinds of energy that were displayed as an array of beautiful lights and colors to the human eye. It didn't take long for the sailor scouts to get through the time portal, and before they knew it, they were standing right outside the demolished palace of Crystal Tokyo. Tears began to form in the eyes of the entire party, including Tuxedo Mask.
" Who could be cruel enough to do this?" Sailor Jupiter said, her voice shaking.
Sailor Moon wiped her tears away and said, " That's not important right now. We need to try and find any survivors who may be trapped under any of this carnage".
" If there are any survivors..." Sailor Venus said sadly.
" There have to be survivors!" Sailor Moon screamed, " There just has to be!"
" She's right... There must be SOME survivors," Sailor Mars said, putting a comforting hand on Sailor Moon's shoulder.
" Yes, so let's split up and see if we can help anyone", Sailor Mercury said.
Everyone nodded in agreement, and after making quick plans, each scout took a separate direction, Sailor Mars would look north of the palace, Tuxedo Mask would go west, Sailor Mercury would go east, Sailor Jupiter and Sailor Venus would go south, because south was the largest city district, and Sailor Moon would search the palace.
Sailor Moon went throughout the palace, calling out, raising her voice as loud as it would go, in hopes that someone would hear her and try to respond, but no sound returned to her. After an hour and a half of searching without any success, Sailor Moon wandered into a large room that, even though is was terribly damaged, somehow still stood. But it was what was in the room that caught Sailor Moon's eyes; she saw a small foot sticking out of a pile of small rocks. Hurriedly, Sailor Moon took the pile of rocks from the body under it to discover that none other than Rini was the one under the rocks.
" Rini!" Sailor Moon shrieked with delight, " Your ok!" But Rini did not speak, nor did she even open her eyes. " Rini, say something! Oh please don't be dead!" Sailor Moon pleaded to the still form of Rini. Sailor Moon gently shook Rini's body, wishing with all her heart that those eyes would slowly open, but alas, the eyes remain closed, and the body did not move. " No.......NO!" Sailor Moon shrieked and began to sob hysterically while embracing Rini tightly.
All the scouts had heard the cry and went quickly to Sailor Moon's aid, only to find her on the ground, on her knees, crying uncontrollably. But, when they saw what she had in her arms, tears formed in their eyes as well. Tuxedo Mask ran to Sailor Moon, fell to his knees, and embraced Rini and Sailor Moon, clenching his teeth, trying to choke back his tears.
" What a touching image", spoke the merciless voice of Amethyst Millenia.
The scouts all turned to see a Amethyst Millenia floating in the air ten feet above them, and behind her was Necron, Satsuka, and Tagahirou.
" Who are you?" demanded the stern voice of Sailor Mars.
" I am Satsuka, the Seducer", said Satsuka.
" I am Tagahirou, the Destroyer", said Tagahirou.
" I am Necron", said Necron.
" And I am Amethyst Millenia, the new queen of the Negaverse, and the founder and leader of 'The New Order of the Negaverse."
" New Order of the Negaverse?" Sailor Mercury said in confusion.
" Hey..... Are you the ones who are responsible for this?!" Sailor Jupiter growled.
" Yes, yes we are. Specifically myself", Tagahirou said with a wicked smirk.
Sailor Moon growled with a burning rage that had never been present in her previously. She handed Rini to Tuxedo Mask, stood up, walking toward the villainous group with a fierce glare. Then she shouted, " I am going to make you pay for this!"
" Oh really, well, I think we'll have to do something about that then", Amethyst said, " Satsuka! Tagahirou! Kill them! And make sure to bring back Sailor Moon's moon scepter when your done with them!"
Amethyst Millenia and Necron then vanished into thin air, while Satsuka and Tagahirou slowly floated down to the ground, facing the scouts, their arms folded, both grinning confidently.
" May I go first this time?" Satsuka asked with amusement.
" Be my guest", Tagahirou replied.
" Sailors, be careful, they are both very powerful!" Tuxedo Mask warned.
The sailor scouts stepped forward, joining Sailor Moon.
" On behalf of the moon...", Sailor Moon said.
" We will punish you!" all the scouts said, including Sailor Moon.
" Oh, I don't think so", Satsuka said, " Do you know why they call me 'The Seducer'? Well I'll show you." Satsuka grinned and the entire room suddenly went pitch black. The scouts couldn't see anything, except for the voluptuous eyes of Satsuka, floated in the darkness, swaying from left to right like the head of a snake. " I'm called 'The Seducer' because my ability to make anyone desire me so fiercely that they will do whatever I say!"
Sailor Moon's eyes suddenly became transfixed and became emotionless. " I ...I.....I must have her! I need her!" Sailor Moon shouted and ran toward Satsuka's eyes, but the eyes floated back, slowly, but just fast enough to keep distance from Sailor Moon, and the closer Sailor Moon got, the further back the eyes went.
" No, Sailor Moon! She's hypnotizing you! Ignore her!" Tuxedo Mask shouted.
" If you want me, then you will have to do something for me first...", the voice of Satsuka said.
" Anything....", Sailor Moon begged, " ANYTHING!"
" Kill yourself, Sailor Moon. Then you may take me," Satsuka's voice replied.
Without another word, Sailor Moon stood slowly, then everything became visible again, and Sailor Moon turned and ran toward a broken hole in the wall, trying to break a large, sharp crystal shard from the wall.
" She's going to stab herself!" Sailor Venus shouted.
" We've got to stop her!" Sailor Mars shouted and ran after Sailor Moon.
" I don't think so!" hissed Satsuka, as her eyes turned black, then Sailor Mars stopped, and slowly turned toward Satsuka.
" I.....I....", Sailor Mars muttered.
But the hypnosis wore off, due to the rose, courtesy of Tuxedo Mask, that landed dead on in the forehead of Satsuka.
" Quick Sailor Mars! Stop Sailor Moon!" Tuxedo Mask shouted.
" I can't move! You'll pay for that Tuxedo Mask!" Satsuka growled.
Sailor Mars, her composure now regained, ran to Sailor Moon and pounced on her, pinning her to the ground. " Hurry guys! I can't hold her for long!" Sailor Mars shouted.
" I'll take care of this!" Jupiter shouted, charging her Jupiter Thunder Power Attack.
Satsuka quickly pulled the rose from her forehead, " Oh no you don't!" she growled, and her eyes turned black and glowed intensely.
Sailor Mercury suddenly became transfixed and shouted, " Mercury Bubble BLAST!" and fired the water bubbles at Sailor Jupiter, causing a severe electrical relax. The voltage coursed through Jupiter's body, she screamed in pain, and fell to the ground, out cold.
" Fine, I'll take care of this!" Sailor Venus said.
" Oh, will you? " replied Satsuka, her lethal eyes turning to Sailor Venus.
" Venus Love Chain!", the chain hit and wrapped around it's target, which was Tuxedo Mask, Sailor Venus now belonged to Satsuka as well. Tuxedo Mask struggled to free himself from the love chain, but it was no use.
" And now for you," Satsuka said, her eyes turning to Sailor Mars.
Sailor Mars shut her eyes tightly and shouted, still pinning Sailor Moon, " No! I won't look! I won't give in!"
" Oh dear girl, you don't have to see me. All YOU need to do is hear me", Satsuka replied, her words dripping into Sailor Mars' ear like venom. Sailor Mars' eyes became blank, and she slowly got off of Sailor Moon. Sailor Moon then stood up, and pulled the crystal shard from the wall. " Yes, do it!" Satsuka said with a wicked giggle.
Sailor Moon slowly turned the sharp end of the crystal shard toward her chest. " Sailor Moon, NO!" Tuxedo Mask shouted. Sailor Moon plunged the crystal shard into her chest, blood bursting from the wound. But suddenly, time stopped and Sailor Moon was their, unharmed, the crystal shard in her hand, but her eyes were back to normal again.
" It..... It doesn't hurt anymore..", Sailor Moon said quietly.
" I know", said the voice of Sailor Pluto, " Don't speak Sailor Moon, I have only a few moments to explain. I was able to bring your present state of mind to you for a few seconds to the present. My time freeze will wear off soon, and as soon as it does, you have to hit Satsuka with you Moon Scepter attack, and you can't miss, or you'll end up back in your hypnotic state, like the other scouts. You have one shot, so make it count!"
" I'll do my best...." Sailor Moon said. After a few moments, the time freeze wore off and Sailor Moon took out here scepter.
" What the?!" Satsuka growled in confusion.
" Moon Scepter.....ELIMINATION!" shouted Sailor Moon as a bright beam burst from the moon scepter and hit Satsuka, dead on!
" NO! This can't be happening!" were Satsuka's last words before she disintegrated.
Tagahirou stood, wide-eyed in disbelief. " How, but... Satsuka had you under her control! That's impossible!"
The other sailor scouts stood as their hypnosis wore off, and Sailor Mars and Sailor Mercury helped Sailor Jupiter up, as she was regaining consciousness.
" Never underestimate The Sailor Scouts." Sailor Moon said, smirking, " she got what she deserved, and now it's your turn!" Sailor Moon shouted, pointing to Tagahirou.
