The Child of the Prophecy, Chapter Twenty-two Inside the underground car park, the inhabitants of Tokyo listened as the battle raged. Outside, the defenders of the Nine Planets and the Moon orbiting Earth, fought bravely. Their plan had not worked and they were bruised and battered. They continued in the hope of avenging their friends, but it was getting hopeless and the lighting in the buildings of Tokyo were fading.

'Uranus, heads up!' Jupiter called.

'On your toes Mercury!' Venus called.

'What is going on here? Everything we send at him, we get back. Its like he's not taking any hits!' Mars complained.

'He is taking hits but they are not weakening him. It's like he's invincible.' Mercury replied.

'Well if he is, we're going have to find a way to get past his invincibility or we are going be defeated and lose Tokyo, the world.' Tuxedo Mask said.

'So any plans?' Neptune asked. At that moment, another block of lights went out.

'. I think know how he's so strong, but I'll need a minute.' Amy's statement gave them hope, but a blast of Nega energy hit them, and they were scattered.

'If you can take that minute we'd be grateful!' Luna yelled. Amy's head bent over her computer as another blast was sent her way. Artemis saw this and swept her away in his arms, allowing her to continue and not be distracted.

'Artemis, take me to Alex and Michelle.' Sailor Mercury commanded. He made their way to where they were defending themselves. 'I need your help. Are you up to destroying a building?'

'I think so, which one?' They knew that the genius must have had a reason and so she did not ask why.

'That big one over there, it has a lot of energy in it.'

'Ok, here goes!'

'URANUS WORLD SHAKING'

'NEPTUNE DEEP SUBMERGE'

The building was destroyed.

'There was a point to that I suppose?'

'Of course.' By now the other sailors had grouped around them.

'Hey, how did you know that by totalling that building you'd give the creep a major hit?'

'I didn't Rei, I followed Amy's instructions.'

'Ok Amy spill, how did you know that would hit the creep hard.'

'Well, when that other block of lights went and we were straight away hit by that blast, I put two and two together in the hope of getting four, and I did. He's connected himself to the energy of Tokyo. All we have to do is create enough power to destroy Tokyo and he'll be gone.'

'So Amy, you want us to destroy Tokyo even though it will cost us our lives and probably the hope of everyone living in the world?' Mina asked, dreading the answer.

'Yes. There is no other way!' Amy tried to reason with them. 'If we don't then Serena, Tara and Trista will have died for nothing. The world will be destroyed because he will not stop after Tokyo is destroyed. I doubt he'll even stop when he kills us!'

'Amy's right, we have to fight this!' Alex declared and the others followed.

'Ok, how much power do we need?'

'As it stands we don't have the power.'

'How are we going to get it?' Lita inquired.

'I'm not sure. We can't use the inhabitants of Tokyo because it still wouldn't work. Even our power wouldn't destroy it though it will us. Uh Oh' She broke off and the others stared at where she was looking. He was up and was about to drain more energy to hurl at them.

'Do you really think you can stop me! Your stupid friends died because they thought they could. You may have found out my strength secret, but you'll not find the power to destroy me! I am the last NegaVerse Agent alive!' As he started to drain the building, it was destroyed.

'Good of us to come, don't ya think.' A voice stated through the air that was filled with the dust of the newly destroyed building.



. Who are these strangers? . . Will Serena, Tara and Trista have died for no reason? . . Can I think of anything more to say? . NO!
