Mistress 9 has somehow been revived and has entered the body of Hotaru Tomoe once again. What evil plan has she cooked up and why aren't the Sailor Scouts out to stop her?

Serena roared with laughter
as she turned the next page of a comic book. She had been reading Raye's comic
books at the temple for most of the afternoon. "Serena!" Raye exclaimed from
outside. "Keep it down in there! You're scaring away the visitors!"
"Oh, sorry Raye, but I can't help it, these comics are just way to funny!"
Serena continued to laugh hysterically. Some girls who were praying looked at
Raye and left.
"Sorry about her!" Raye called out after them. "She's not usually here all the
time." Raye's voice trailed. Who am I kidding? Raye thought, clenching
her fist. The only time she leaves is when she's finished reading every
issue for the hundredth time! A delivery boy came up the front stairs carry
a package.
"Delivery for Miss Raye Hino!" he called out. He handed Raye the package. Raye
thanked him and walked in the temple. Serena was on Raye's bed and stopped
laughing when she saw the package.
"Is that another package from Chad?" Serena asked. Raye nodded and knelt down
on the comic-book-covered floor. Serena got off the bed and joined her. Raye
opened up the package and picked up a note that lay on top of a teddy bear and
a box of chocolate. Raye read the not out loud.
"Dear Raye, how's it going? Here's a bunch of stuff from my last
performance. I'm heading off to perform
at a kid's birthday party some where in another continent, so don't expect
another package from me anytime soon. Chad."
"Aww, you're so lucky having a rock star boyfriend." Serena said, opening the
box of chocolate.
"Chad's not a rock star. His manager only signed him up because Chad was able
to sing 'Three Blind Mice' backwards perfectly," Raye turned away from Serena
with her nose in the air. "And he is not my boyfriend!"
"Yeah but you looooove him, don't you Raye?" Serena began to laugh.
"No I don't, and quit hogging the chocolate!" Raye blushed as she tried to grab
the box of chocolate from Serena. Serena just laughed and shoved the chocolate
into her mouth.

Hotaru lied on her bed
staring at the ceiling. Her head was aching earlier so she decided to rest. She
got up and sat on the chair at her vanity. She picked up a brushed and gently
brushed her hair. She smiled at her reflection. Her reflection reflected
Hotaru's emotion but suddenly dripped into blackness. The image of the long
black haired woman appeared. Hotaru jumped out of the chair, making it fall
backwards.
"Hotaru Tomoe." The woman said, grinning. "I can't believe a weakling like you
survived the ordeal of my existence, especially when my existence was inside of
you."
"What are you talking about?" Hotaru had not learned about the evil that had
once taken over her. The woman briefly explained.
"You see, I am Mistress 9, I am nothing more than pure darkness. I came to this
pitiful place in search of the pure heart crystals. They would have allowed me
to release Pharaoh 90 and bring total destruction to the universe. I used your
body to travel around and got my minions to gather the energy needed. But
sadly, the grimy Sailor Scouts and that despicable Sailor Moon foiled my plans.
With their power I was banished and was thought to be gone forever." She gave
out a laugh. "Those fools, they will never learn that darkness will prevail!"
She continued to laugh. "Now, the time has come to begin the first step in
bringing the end." Hotaru screamed as darkness surrounded her. The darkness
made Hotaru transform in Mistress 9. The renewed evil gazed at her reflection.
Her evil grin broke the mirror. "Let's start with a little nap, shall we?" She
raised her arms out in front of her with her palms facing up. "Black Poison
Mist!" A dark mist appeared from her hands and began to grow. She laughed as
the mist filled the room. It seeped through the crack of the door and filled
the hallway quickly. Dr. Tomoe went to check on Hotaru but encountered the
poison. He screamed as the mist entered his airways and knocked him
unconscious. The mist made it outside and was growing rapidly. People all
around began to fall into unconsciousness. The mist had taken up a third of the
city and continued to grow.

"Hey, anybody home?" Lita
called outside the temple. Raye poked her head out.
"Oh, Lita, how's it going?" Raye stepped outside, dragging a hysterical Serena
behind her.
"I see Serena's been reading your comic books again." Said Amy, who appeared
behind Lita. Raye sighed.
"At least she isn't stuffing her face with sweets." Said Lita.
"Actually…" Raye held out an empty box that used to be filled with chocolate.
Amy and Lita sighed.
"Hey everyone!" said Mina, coming towards them. "What are you all doing out
this late?"
"Late?" Amy said and looked at her watch. "But it's only 5:30, the sun doesn't
set for another hour." Everyone looked at the sky. It was almost pitch-black.
"Hmm, maybe it's an eclipse." Lita suggested.
"No, an eclipse wouldn't make the sky this black." Amy explained.
"Hey what's happening to all those people down there? Raye exclaimed. People
were falling down as the Black Poison Mist made way into their system. The
girls watched as the mist reached closer towards them. Serena stopped laughing
to see what was going on.
"What is that?"
"I don't know, but I've got a bad feeling about it." The girls screamed as the
black mist knocked them out.
By now, the whole city had been engulfed in this Black Poison Mist. Everyone living organism was knocked out into a deep sleep.

Rini was at home taking a nap when the Black Poison Mist was released. She was pleasantly having another dream about ice cream when the poison hit.
In her dream, darkness
filled all around and Rini became scared. She didn't know what was going on and
could not wake up. She called out for help and ran in the darkness, but no one
was there to help her. She was alone.
"Mommy, daddy! Serena! Help me!" She began to cry. The long, pink haired lady
appeared in front of her.
"Small lady." She said. "What's the matter? You need help? Oh that's too bad,
'cause no one will help you! Not ever!"
"Stop it!" Rini screamed. "What do want from me?" The woman bent down to Rini's
height.
"I'm Wicked Lady, your true identity." Rini's eyes widened. Wicked Lady laughed
a little. "I need you to get me outside of your little mind so I can destroy
every living being on the face of the planet!" Wicked Lady had remained inside
Rini for many years. She never really disappeared. She had been locked up
inside Rini until she could build her true powers and break free. These powers
Wise Man never discovered. "Now Small Lady, it's your turn to feel how it's
like to be locked up inside a person's mind!" Wicked Lady grabbed Rini by the
collar and released a strong powerful energy that surrounded the two. Rini
screamed and woke up from Mistress 9's Black Poison Mist. She sat up in her
bed. Her eyes were heavy and still closed. She lifted her head up and opened
her eyes slowly. Her eyes were dark and solid. Rini closed them and opened
again slowly. Wicked Lady was sitting on Rini's bed; Rini was gone.
