A/N: Sry if it's been a few days or…so. I've been really lazy with this. I'm sure you all are thinking that this is going to be like every other fic where the Senshi are turned against each other. In a way it might be, but there are at least two twists coming. Very strange, surprising twists…
Disclaimer: I do not and will probably never own Sailor Moon :sniff: Everything new in this fic does belong to me though. If u wish to use them please contact me via email.

Title: Lost Star Light, Burn Bright
Chapter Fifteen
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~***
Dark clouds loomed over the bright city full of crystal. It was calm right now, but they all knew what the calm said to them in the dusk of the enclosing night. Serenity felt the crystal stir from it's placing within her locket. Evil was nearby, the feeling was so strong…and it was making her sick. Serenity had to move quickly.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~***
Rei sat tiredly, staring like she was hypnotized into a snow globe with a gorgeous dragon woman holding a small crystal in her claw like hands. Kirei was asleep on the leather couch. Next to the globe was a picture of her and Terri. Rei had her love up in the air, spinning the goddess around. She felt so exhausted with the grief she had dwelling in her. Tears welled up in her eyes and she cried into her hands for what seemed the hundredth time. Her weeping stopped when the black and red doors banged open to reveal Seiya holding her Queen with a death grip. The Neo-Queen looked deathly pale and her breathing was coming in short quick gasps.
" What's happening?!" Seiya nodded to the couch and Rei grabbed Kirei. Waking the little girl roughly. A small cry came from her, but it ceased at her fathers hush.
" There's something closing in on us. We all think it's the new enemy. What ever it is, it's causing Sere a lot of pain. It seems this is the only room we can put her in, keep her safe from the negative energy." Lita came from the bathroom with a wet cloth, wetting her leader's face to clean the sweat off.
" It..it's coming clo-ser. Transform now, kee-p Kirei same from it." Serenity passed out from her lack of energy. The Senshi did as told and Ami ran away with Kirei tight in her arms to where Rini and Hotaru were.
Outside the palace a figure hovered in the air, dark eyes mere slits in the wind of a brewing storm. Twilitite materialized next to her, yellow eyes as murky as ever.
" You're here for only one, don't try anything unexpected. Lady might get rid of you faster than expected." A smirk played on her full lips, black skirt swaying.
" Of course my lord. As you wish." He disappeared then, returning to the shadows. Slowly Lost Star floated down to the ground. Walking with a black aura surrounding her body, her feet making impacts in the ground. Each step caused the ground to shake. Half way through the Palace's entrance, now littered with the bloodied and torn bodies of guards, The Senshi arrived, angered at the site of their slaughtered people.
" Senshi, what do you need of worthless Terrans. Nothing but a mere pebble in my way. You are Senshi, you shouldn't need the help of the powerless. Now I know how truly stupid I ever was for being one."
Mars could only stare, her lost love stood in front of her. Unyielding and strong, now a dark beauty for the enemy. How could she have thought she was dead? When she felt the small beat of her pulse on the floor of that night club. Mars felt foolish, even more so when her thoughts of getting her beloved back from the pits of shadows surfaced.
" Terri? Your not brain washed?" A small chuckle came from her, it was chilling.
" Star Lasher!" Whips of heated black energy flung at them, grabbing hold of Mercury and Neptune. They cried out in vain, piercing black energy surging through them like electric fire.
" Try and cut my strings of pain, nothing but agony awaits you." Her voice was low, evil seeped off her like a cracked dam. The others by now were also caught up in the whips of dark light, having tried to cut them. Uranus was still gripping the whips holding her wife in agony. Her anger was boiling, she was going to blow. The blonde was afraid though, not even the burst of energy would help save her love now, but she couldn't stop. Wouldn't let go. When the string slipped through her bloody hands, her scream might have woke the dead.
" So nice to see you again dear Michelle. Watch them suffer for awhile." Neptune struggled and screamed as the new attack wounding her love and friends.
" Nova Dust!" The dust glittered majestically in the air before slicing through the Senshi. Before Uranus lost her consciousness, she watched Neptune's throat open and close. Her crystal taken, her body dumped on the ground. The blonde gripped the ground and made her way to the ragged woman.
" Michelle."
" I have no need for a bag of bones, but someone else does. I'll be taking this with me now." Michelle's body rose into the air limply. Her stolen crystal glowing a deep aqua at being so close to it's owner. Gone a tornado of petals, Uranus's hand fell, strength gone.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~***
" YOU BROUGHT THE WRONG ONE!" Lost Star didn't flinch at Twilitite's tone. A smirk caressing her features. Mikoradiy sat amused in her throne.
" Twilitite, be quiet! I'm wish not to hear your bickering. Explain yourself Lost Star." She kneeled down.
" If her memories serve me right My Lady, capturing the sea Senshi will also bring down the sky Senshi. Making her unwilling to fight. I can get the Ice Senshi next if you wish or to go on with the next in line."
" I understand your reasoning. Twilitite, take the body away and do as you wish. When everything has been done, you will go back to the Earth for the next in line. Now rest Lost Star." Lost Star bowed and soon was gone from her leader's sight.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~***
" What are they doing now? Ami, didn't you say that with out this crystal, a Senshi is not herself. Just a body that lives?" Seiya paced back and forth through the living room of Rei's and once Terri's apartment chambers. Serenity had yet to wake up, every other room seems to be infected with the evil that caused her present state.
" I believe so. The Dumioron crystal is a very well kept secret, not even Queen Serenity knew much about it. Basically it's the center of us all, we lose it, we lose everything but our lives. Only the past Queens of Teres and the past Sailor Teres knew of it. That would be Terrestria." Seiya sat down, throwing her head in her hands. Rei came down from the stairs then, Kirei in her arms.
" How's Amara? Those burns were really deep." Rei shook her head and sat down next to Setsuna on the couch.
" It's not the burns that are hurting her. Michelle's been taken, or more like her body. Just like Terri. Non of our bonds are like theirs. She's not going to want to fight. I can barely fight."
" I wonder why they need the bodies? Are they giving them powers or something? It's all so confusing. How could Terri just kill those men like that?" Mina moved slower to her love at the thought of all the blood of her friends. Most of whom she had trained and watched grow up. Rei pulled her daughter closer to her, burying her head in Kirei's soft brown hair.
" She's dark now, there's nothing we can do. Soon Michelle will be just like her. One of us is next, and which ever one will be like them." Kirei may be a confused little girl but she understood when nothing could comeback. She kissed her fathers cheek and looked into her eyes.
" The light always wins, right daddy? Senshi die and then they are back, right? Mommy always said dat."
" The light can lose Kirei, it hasn't happened yet, but it can. Senshi die then, and they will come back, never the same little one. Remember that." Kirei nodded.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~***
Mikoradiy stared at her newest possessions. A dark aqua crystal floating, trapped in a crystalline box, next to a black crystal with a silver tint. Her newest minion was Dark Sea. Strong and loyal like its sister, Lost Star. They were ready to send them out for the next. Twilitite wasn't happy about how his plans were going, they had taken a totally different direction.
His leader, a ruthless creature, wanted nothing but to cause them all pain. He wished she would do something with the crystals before something unexpected, unplanned, was to happen. Twilitite knew.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~***
A/N: This is starting to make no sense, so I decided there is the perfect spot to stop it! So what does Twilitite know? Which Senshi is next to become evil for the devilish creature capturing them all? Only In the next chapter will you find out! Bye!
