Chapter 2- Here comes Mini Moon!
(30 minutes ago)
Sailor Pluto felt sick to her stomach after when she received that injury from the scorpion. In retaliation she wanted to just squish the scorpion into the dust and as she fought back the pain to see where the scorpion was, she made a move to grab her staff and use it to get rid of the creature before it could do anything worse to her.
But then someone or something was in front of her that grabbed her attention. Whoever it was looked almost like her except that she doesn't have a bun on the top of her long hair. Pluto couldn't see her body figure in the darkness mainly do to the red mist surrounding her unearthly ghostlike form. The person in front of her could have been mistaken for an alien if it was possible, especially with her glowing red eyes. "You don't need to be afraid of me, princess of Pluto. Allow me to help you get through the pain. Just focus on my words and let me guide you." Pluto was unsure who or what that person was but she allowed her wound to show. Once when their hands touched on the wound, Pluto blinked in surprise to see the strange woman vanish. But that was not all she was surprised about, the next thing she knew was that she wasn't in control of her body anymore. That strange woman seemed to have possessed her body and forcing her to take a back seat in letting her trick Sailor Saturn in getting the gloves on. Pluto wanted so much to stop the woman before she successfully tricked Sailor Saturn, but it was as if her mouth was sown shut and unable to speak while the woman allowed her to stay conscious enough to see the horror of being taken over against her will
"I haven't had so much fun in torturing people. Its been ages since I had some fun. Now that my sister Capricorn will take care of your 'daughter', it is time to give you a new makeover. Do not worry, you can trust me to take care of you. Just take deep breathes with me." The woman said in Pluto's mind. A beam of of dark red light cascades down Pluto's body as if scanning around her and forms into four long disks of a clock to surround her and keep her trapped inside, unable to move.
"Who are you and what are you planning on doing to me?!" Pluto argues back in her thoughts, trying to struggle against the constraints the red light was doing to her. She could briefly see that the dark red substance is taking shape and covering up her legs first and then crawling up to her torso and then to her neck.
"I am Scorpio and you are my new vessel for me to play with." The woman said as she allows the dark red substance to fully cover up Sailor Pluto. "Forget your old self. Feel it replaced to black with emptiness. Forget how you look. Forget your personality. Everything. Become an empty shell for me, open to my words and mine alone. Ready to be reprogrammed for my desires. Ready to become my servant of torture. My words are your truth."
The bun on top of Pluto's head vanishes in the substance encasing the imprisoned Sailor Scout. It was the only thing that was needed before the woman spirit lets go of her vessel and shows the new form. The dark red substance melted away from Sailor Pluto's body like blood pouring out on the floor. It revealed bright red shoes that reach above her ankles and some white ties adorning the shoes. Her Sailor Scout skirt was still present but it was blood red. Underneath the skirt was some red shorts while her chest was covered in a dark red sleeved shirt. On her neck she had a white collar and some small white gloves on her hands. Her right hand shows the glowing mark of the scorpion wound and in Pluto's horror inside of her mind the Pluto symbol was showing on it mixed with what looks like an 'M' symbol with a scorpion tail touching the top end of the 'P'. Scorpio's voice came forth from Pluto's lips and chuckled at the new look she gave to her vessel, marveling at the wound with the symbols. "Now your mine princess of Pluto. What do you say we play around with some of the tools I have in my room?" Without a response from her victim, Scorpio walks out of Capricorns cottage and heads over to her torture room.
Sailor Uranus struggled to fight back against the strong leash of whoever this Aquarius guy was to take over her body. She hated how he is berating in her head on how she is supposed to look like a proper young lady. She wanted to run right back down to the pool room and be with Neptune to comfort her, but this spirit in the shadows won't let her and it infuriated her.
Most likely the spirit got tired of restraining her and decided to sent down gushes of wind to push her down to the ground and unable to crawl away from what's about to happen to her. "Erase everything about your old life. You are under my control right now and you need to accept that you can't be with Pisces' vessel."
"Wouldn't that be my choice to be with Michelle, not yours..?" Sailor Uranus spat on the floor and grits her teeth at the pain. "You cannot tell me what to do you bas-" A blast of silver blue light struck her down and surrounds her in a silver blue tornado entrapping her within as the transformation took hold of her.
Once the tornado felt that its purpose was complete, it vanishes showing Sailor Uranus in a new form, one that benefitted what the spirit wants and expects of its vessel. The Sailor Scout suit was no more and in its place was a light blue dress with silver creeping up the end of the seams. A piece of jewelry with silver and blue beads was on top of her head, there was also some jewels on the opposite ends of her dress sleeves. Silver sandals adorned her feet.
Sailor Uranus was conscious for only a few seconds as she screeches in horror at what the spirit did. "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME?!" Then her world went black as the spirit took control, silencing her in her mind. Her Uranus symbol is shown to be surrounded by three waves on her left hand.
Sailor Neptune couldn't stop crying in sorrow over the loss of her beloved Sailor Uranus, feeling for a split second in her heart that her love was taken hostage. The two fish that were in the pool sent a couple of splashes from the water big enough to fully drench the girl and change her to help their master in preparing her new vessel. After losing consciousness she allowed the spirit to change her looks. First her shoulder length wavy hair got wrapped up in a long ponytail, leaving her bangs alone. Her Sailor Scout suit changed to a dress with a dark blue color on the outside and the stripe of purple going down the middle of the clothing. She didn't feel any shoes on her feet, leaving them exposed underneath the dress. Some jewelry for the hair appears later on the top of her head. On the crook of her neck on the backside, her Neptune symbol was surrounded by Pisces' symbol.
Pisces' voice comes through Neptune's lips. "I'm sorry it has to be this way, but you will understand that Aquarius' vessel is not for you, princess of Neptune. They are unfit to be in your presence. Being with me won't be that bad, after all I want to hear some of your violin music to keep me and my fish entertained." She snaps her fingers, working on her water magic to fix up the pool room to be more relaxing and comforting to the fish and to her vessel. Once when the pool room was cleaned up to the way Pisces liked it, she then snaps her fingers and the fish dived deep into the pool returning with a violin and a clam shell necklace. Pisces, with Sailor Neptune's body, puts on the necklace in order to put away Neptune's consciousness inside of the shell to control her vessel better and gets into position to play the violin.
Outside of the temple, Sailor Jupiter snaps her fingers and unleashes a flash of lightning down toward her. Although it would be considered dangerous to some people, it was intended by the spirit that was controlling the Sailor Scouts body to change her. Under that one flash of lightning, the Sailor Scout suit changed drastically into a form of a hunter. Her ponytail took a different turn by transforming to a braid. Her green clothing was forever changed to some shades of dark blue and light blue. Dark blue for her chest and on her collar around the neck. She had blue earrings on as well as dark blue sandals to move around the outdoors quickly and quietly. She had gloves in the dark blue shade as well but her fingers were free to move outside of the clothing. On her legs she wore a light blue knee high shorts. Behind her back she had a dark blue hooded cape that is attached to her suit. On the back of her right leg there was the Jupiter symbol with an arrow symbol going through it like it was a target.
It was a good thing that Sailor Venus was unconscious so that Libra could take the drivers seat in having control of her vessel. The Zodiac of balance wasn't going to let the bull fighter Zodiac do whatever he wants with the girl. From what Libra learned in the past, she knows that there is a time to play around, and another to act serious in matters such as this. She hoped that once she possesses the girl that she could protect her from Taurus' unwanted affection and lust for the princess of Venus. The colors of light green and pink fought over the right to properly claim the girl as Venus' hair grew long enough to the back of her thighs. Her red ribbon changed to a bright pink while the top of her hair had the same color with tinges of green coming forth from the curls. Libra placed a green and pink jewel on Venus' head and a green necklace around her neck. But then in the midst of transforming the girl, Libra and Taurus got into an argument over how the girl should be dressed. Libra wanted the girl to be modest in her clothing while Taurus wanted to have her look more... tempting to make love with. Taurus won in the end on the dress skirt having a gap for the legs to stick out from the sides while Libra won on the top end, giving the girl a pink top while the skirt went from pink to green at the bottom. Taurus made the top half of the dress just about go low to be close enough to Venus' chest.
Libra had enough of Taurus trying to make the girl look like a slut that she slaps him back in the subconsciousness of Venus' mind. "We are not here to satisfy your lusts brother! We need to keep her in balance as a perfect vessel!" She equips Venus' shoulders to give her some green feather pads and letting the girl keep her shoes she had on but changes it to green and has some pink crisscross leggings to go over her thighs.
"Shouldn't you be listening to me since I am older and you are the youngest?" Taurus argues, talking through Venus' lips as he makes her sit up in the bed and positions herself in a lustful manner.
Venus' body jolts for a moment as Libra takes charge of her vessel once again, kicking Taurus to the curb. "I maybe am the youngest but I know how to care for our vessel better than you do! All you want to do with her is to have her as your little toy!"
"Oh come on!" Taurus argues, making Venus scrunch up her face in annoyance at the young Zodiac in her mind. "Its been so long since I have made someone fall in love with someone else."
"None of your excuses Taurus! Once I am done with her you can have your fun, but it better NOT be you having your way with her!" Libra warns as she makes Venus scowl her face at the other spirit inside of her. Once she felt that Taurus backed off deep into Venus' mind, Libra calms down a bit as she looks around for something to play with in the cottage. She spotted two roses in a vase by the window, one green and one pink and she walks over to inspect them closer.
Libra smiles, making her vessel smile as well. "How about we balance something in our hands? One rose in one hand and one in the other." She reaches for the roses and picks them out of the vase, placing the green rose in her left hand and the pink one in her right hand. "Hmm... They both feel kind of the same by weight. Let's see if we can make the roses stand up in our palms." The symbol of Venus can be seen on the back of Sailor Venus' left hand, showing Taurus' symbol wrapping itself around the heart like it is a wedding ring and Libra's symbol is shown on top of the heart like a crown.
Meanwhile outside of Gemini's cottage, the possessed Sailor Mercury went over to one of the trees and merged herself with it so that the transformation can take hold. She disappeared for one moment and then came out different in the next three seconds. Her blue hair was changed to a mixture between yellow and green. Her Sailor uniform was replaced with a yellow dress and two green ribbons trailing down her shoulders. There were two layers underneath the yellow dress; brown at the very bottom and green in the middle. When she walks down the forest trail, her brown sandals are shown. Two green elbow bands are on her arms. Virgo understood that Gemini always likes to have two of everything whenever they are out and about. And yet she was powerless to stop them from taking full control over the vessel they are sharing together and making the girl look up toward the night sky.
Gemini mentions briefly to Virgo through Mercury's lips. "Our planet is still in the same spot where it once was before we got taken away sister. Why don't we try to resume our work of getting the planet far away from the Solar System?"
Virgo knew Gemini's plan of action and shakes her head, possessing the girl for only five seconds. "That's not a good idea Gemini. It didn't work when we first got imprisoned, what makes you think that it will work now?"
Instead of answering Virgo, Gemini took hold of Mercury and proceeds to try to fly up toward the sky... Only to be stopped at midpoint in the air and was zapped by an unseen force, making the Zodiacs and their vessel fall back down toward the ground and lays there in shock. Virgo struggles to lift her vessels body up from the ground as she states to the twin Zodiac. "Well, it looks like we can't leave the temple or go far from the temple. At least the Royal families of the Solar System were smart enough to make sure we can't leave."
Gemini was not amused as they made Mercury scowl toward the heavens. "Blast it! How are we supposed to get to our planet now?!"
"We can never go back to our planet and this is our punishment because we tried to separate Mercury from the other planets." Virgo explained, knowing disappointingly that Gemini will not heed her warning like all the other times they had talked. "We are forever exiled into the artifacts. I am disappointed that this hasn't gotten through to your head Gemini. Its because of your insane actions, along with the other Zodiacs that we are trapped here forever." On Sailor Mercury's left shoulder was the Mercury symbol but Gemini's symbol appears to be trapping it as if in a cage while Virgo's symbol appears behind them both as if watching like a ghost.
Back in Capricorn's cottage Sailor Saturn was pretty much unconscious where the spirit possessing her took charge of calling forth the vines on top of the roof of the cottage, having them crawl forth from the open windows and surrounding the body of the girl, cradling her into a vine cocoon.
It only took a few moments for the vines to glow brown and proceeds to let go of the girl, straightening her up to stand alone in the room. Sailor Saturn's suit was changed from the purple color to a black and brown color. Her shoes were dark as the earth's soil fresh for planting. The skirt had brown ends next to the black. A star with brown wings is shown on her chest. Her white collar switched to a deep brown. Short light brown shoulder sleeves were the same color as the brown scaly gloves on her hands. On her right upper arm showed the Saturn symbol and what appears to be a 'N' looping its one end toward the Saturn's as if to keep it close. Sailor Saturn's eyes open, showing the vacant hypnotized look and she went outside to tend to the flowers outside of the cottage.
In the war room upstairs, Sailor Mars could be heard rummaging through the closet for her new suit. She wasn't ready to come out from the closet when she, or the Zodiac of war, felt another presence coming toward the temple. Usually in war there are times where someone has to fight for another day and it would be wise for the Zodiac to bring his strength back up first before he intends to fight. So he waits.
(Right now)
Sailor Mini Moon runs outside of Tokyo as fast as her legs can carry her. Filled with energy in going after Sailor Moon to provide her partner the help she needs, Mini Moon was determined to get to her hero as quickly as possible. She spotted the temple just as she was getting tired of running. She stops to rest right next to the door and take a couple of deep breathes after all of the running she did. She honestly thought that the temple looked more creepy looking than the time when she tried to sneak into Dr. Tomoe's house to search for Hotaru. But then she wondered if she was ready enough to handle a job by herself without Sailor Moon there to guide her through it. She knew that if she was trapped in that temple in place of the Sailor Scouts, they would risk anything to save her, and she has got to do the same for them no matter the nightmare that they are facing.
She gives advice to herself in order to calm her fears. "I'm not scared. I'm not scared!" She reaches her hands out to the doors and pushes them open. Taking her first step inside the temple, Mini Moon said with confidence. "I'm coming mama!"
Mini Moon took a look around at the first floor, but since it was covered in darkness she decides to use her silver crystal to shine the light to see better. What appeared to be cobwebs on the couches and coffee tables have vanished when the light came on from the silver crystal. A strange clock caught Mini Moon's attention as she walks over to take a look. She immediately recognizes the Zodiac signs on the clock, seeing that the symbols are glowing fiercely.
"This is pretty strange." Mini Moon comments, placing one gloved hand on the clock to inspect it further. "I don't think I've seen a clock like this before. I wonder why the symbols are glowing on the clock." She figured that she will have time to worry about the clock later, since that she is hoping to find the Sailor Scouts before it was too late for her to save them.
She first takes a look in the second floor by going up the winding staircase where she personally dubs it as the Torture room, seeing that the door was left open and a sign of Scorpio was on the front of the door but she couldn't find any sign of the Scouts. She then ventures to the third floor to find a closed door with the symbol of Pisces glowing on the front. The fishes swimming around in a circle on the door made it pretty enchanting yet disturbing for Mini Moon to watch.
"Why would the door be closed?" Mini Moon wondered out loud as she reaches out her hand to open the door. "Does someone live in this place? Hmm... it doesn't look like I can open it with my hand by itself." She crouches on her knees as she hears some soft tunes of a violin. Its music is going slow and it speaks of sadness in the notes. Mini Moon wasn't sure of what to think as she figures maybe she should leave the door for now and come back to it later.
"That violin sounds awfully a lot like Sailor Neptune when she plays her music." Mini Moon mentions out loud as she goes up the stairs to the next floor. The fourth floor door had a picture of a lion and taking a peek into the room for a bit, she dubs that room as a Training/Lounge room that seems to be fit for a king. The fifth floor had a cracked door opening so that Mini Moon could take a peek in there without being spotted. She dubbed that room as a War room with all of the weapons displayed, giving her a feeling that this one would be Aries' door. Mini Moon passes the sixth floor where a door was closed with the symbol of a water pitcher was edged on the front. It was until she got to the seventh floor, Mini Moon could hear something from above her and she seeks a hiding spot right underneath one of the stairwells, thankfully it was big enough to let her hide inside until the danger could pass over her. Shining the light toward what, or who, was coming downstairs was...Tuxedo Mask and Sailor Moon?
Mini Moon thought to herself that she must have been seeing things as she dares to take a peek behind the stairs, seeing that her heroes have some strange new clothing on them. For Tuxedo Mask, Mini Moon saw that the black tuxedo was no more and his suit changed to a deep orange color on the inside of his uniform while his jacket was a solid gold color with some amber jewels as attachments to his solid gold cape. His shoes were solid gold too. Mini Moon thought that she saw some hints of flames touching the bottom of Tuxedo Masks cape but yet they didn't devour the cloth. He still had his white eye-mask on and in his hands, which were strangely free from the gloves, was a dark orange rose and it is glowing immensely.
Sailor Moon on the other hand had changed since Mini Moon saw her. It looked like she changed from her Sailor Scout uniform to her Princess form, only her dress was more thinner and she could see the white high heel shoes on her feet. Her hair and her skin was extremely pale like she has never been touched by the sun. If it wasn't for the yellow circles on the top design of the dress and the gold necklace and gold hair jewelry next to her hair buns, Mini Moon would have believed that Sailor Moon turned into a ghost. But the more disturbing thing about Tuxedo Mask and Sailor Moon was the vacant and ghostly look in their eyes. It was as if they were hypnotized.
Mini Moon couldn't help it but she came out of hiding as she stares at Tuxedo Mask and Sailor Moon, speaking softly to get their attention. "Sailor Moon? Tuxedo Mask?"
Tuxedo Mask and Sailor Moon stop in their tracks on the stairs as they turn around to see who had called them by their names. The hypnotized Sailor Moon spotted the little girl first and her eyes widen in surprise, gasping softly. "Why do I feel like this child has the power of the moon? I thought that the vessel I have was in control of the moon's power."
"What vessel are you talking about Sailor Moon?" Mini Moon didn't get what the older Sailor Scout was saying one bit as she cocks an eyebrow. "And have you forgotten that I inherited your silver crystal in the future?"
"Inherited? Then that must mean..." Sailor Moon looks intensely at Mini Moon, making the little girl feel uncomfortable in her presence. There was something about those vacant hypnotized eyes that almost made Mini Moon's hair stand on ends. "You are my vessel's daughter!"
"Ahem!" Tuxedo Mask clears his throat as he crosses his arms and glares at Sailor Moon, trying to signify that she needs to give him some attention. "She is my daughter too you know!"
Sailor Moon shakes her head in annoyance at him. "She can't be yours! She has the power of the moon as well so that means she is mine to raise!" She quickly goes over to embrace Mini Moon in a motherly hug. However in that embrace Mini Moon couldn't help but feel that something is off about Sailor Moon's behavior and Tuxedo Mask's behavior. Usually when she helps out Sailor Moon they sometimes always argued over little things in their battles with the bad guys, and personally to her she expected for Sailor Moon to get into a fit of rage when she saw her young charge going over to help her when she was supposed to have fun. And what was that talk about being a vessel's daughter? Another thing she noticed was Sailor Moon's symbol on her forehead was carrying two swirling dots like a bowl holding fruit. She found that odd since Sailor Moon never had that before.
Mini Moon broke free from Sailor Moon's hold and takes out her moon rod, aiming it at the two people she cares about. "Okay WHO are you and what have you done with Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask?!"
Tuxedo Mask looks at Mini Moon, his hypnotized eyes narrow in annoyance. "Is that any way to talk like that to your parents... small lady?" Mini Moon just about shivered when he mentioned her title back in the future.
Sailor Moon waves him off as she replies. "Enough with your theatrics Leo!" Mini Moon cocks her eyebrow in confusion at what she said. Leo? As in the lion Leo Zodiac that the Quartet told her about? Then if she has this right, the two swirling dots were the Zodiac Cancer's symbol. Mini Moon couldn't decide whether to lash out in anger or to cry out in anguish over the loss of her family to the spirits who the Quartet warned her about.
"Well its not my fault that I possessed a prince of the Earth and she needs to be taught respect for her elders!" Tuxedo Mask, or Leo, said as he snaps at Sailor Moon. "Is this the new generation that we have to train for our world domination Cancer? IF WE EVER HAVE ONE AGAIN!"
Instead of just standing there and letting the two argue over the pettiest of things like world domination, Mini Moon swings her pink moon rod and yells out her attack before trying to escape. "Mini Moon Spiral Heart Attack!" The spinning hearts hit directly an inch in front of Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask, creating a huge blast of smoke to block off their vision so that Mini Moon could run down the stairs and get herself back down stairs.
She could briefly hear Cancer saying, "What the-?" before coughing violently from the attack. Mini Moon didn't stop to take a break as she makes a run downstairs. She needed to get help from the rest of the Sailor Scouts. But what if they were taken as well, she thought to herself.
Something from outside caught Mini Moon's attention as she spots a glimpse of a shadow figure aiming an arrow at her from one of the windows. Mini Moon gasps in surprise as she sees Sailor Jupiter's face looking out from under a hood. "Sailor Jupiter stop! Its me Mini Moon!" She attempts to beg the Sailor Scout of thunder to refrain from using the bow. The Sailor Scout didn't listen as she lets the arrow fly toward Mini Moon.
Mini Moon managed to dodge the arrow as she ducks near the edge of the staircase, but then when she tried to straighten up and back away to one of the windows, she walked back a little too far as she did a backwards somersault over the window and falls down outside of the temple. She could hear the faint sounds of Sailor Jupiter laughing in merciless cruelty.
A/N: I hope you enjoy this chapter! I hope you all enjoy the Zodiacs in here.
