Story by SinisterMarmalade and his LoveAntelope.

I intend no infringement, profit or disrespect to Sailor Moon or Naoko Takeuchi. I have nought but the deepest respect for both.

Prologue

"Obsidian, come before me," said Prince Diamond. A shadow seemed to move, then the figure of a man melted out of it. He measured nearly as tall as the prince he stood before, with a lean runner's build. He had chin length platinum-blonde hair and deep violet eyes. The most telling thing about him though, was his jet black skin.

"What can I do for you, cousin?" Obsidian asked cooly.

"I just had a talk with Wiseman, and it seems you're the perfect person to further our plans." Obsidian looked disapprovingly at Diamond, who sighed. "I know what you think of him, cousin, but his only goal is for us to succeed."

"Do you really believe that?" Obsidian responded skeptically.

"Enough!" Prince Diamond shouted, rising to his feet. "You will not voice your poisonous lack of faith here!"

"Of course," Obsidian said grimly, "forgive me."

"You are already forgiven," replied Diamond as he resumed his seat. "Are you familiar with Sailor Venus?"

Obsidian cracked a joking grin. "Not as much as I'd like to be," He chuckled.

"It seems that after the destruction of the negaverse, Miss Aino has moved to New York in order to pursue an acting career. You're job is to kill her," Prince Diamond finished with a self satisfied look.

"It shall be done," said Obsidian as he walked back into the shadows.
