Ranka: Now, things get interesting.
Natsuki: O.o
Ranka: ...
Natsuki: Do I *want* to know?
Ranka: What are you doing in my house?
Gomen... I couldn't resist.
But yeah, I'll tell the story of how I came up with the idea later. (Originally, Chibiusa wasn't even a character...) (Counts on fingers) (4...7...11...12...13...16...)
There are about 12 significant good-guy peoples (not including the starlights & earth senshi) (they're not that important) and 4 bad guy peoples. I'll list them later. Trust me, the numbers will go down... *grins maniacally* *Natsuki heads for the door*
Ranka: Out!
Miki: hello!
Ranka: Mi.ki..?
Miki: Natsuki dragged me here.
Ranka: Geez, Natsuki, you're such an abusive girlfriend.
Miki: Yeah! Abusive!
Natsuki: I am not!
//Chapter 7// I Won't Duck and Run//
Somewhere in the depths of space, Mariposa sat in her throneroom, sipping wine (or at least I think it's wine ^-^) from a goblet. 'Our plan is just about ready. Finally, I will have my revenge on those miserable sailor senshi.' The three shadowed figures appeared once again before Mariposa.
"Well? What progress have you made?"
"We have discovered where they live, Mariposa-sama. Their leader is without them right now. She's all alone with no one to stand in our way." Mariposa smiled wickedly.
"Excellent." She had been waiting for the chance for revenge for a long time. She looked directly at the three warriors. "Kill her."
*~*~*~*
Mika, Masami, and Chibiusa were near the pond playing tag. The game had started out as just a game, but it would end up as something else. Mika had started out being 'it', then she tagged Chibiusa, who tagged Masami, who was now vengefully chasing after the pink haired rabbit girl. Mika had found it was safer on the ground, so she found a nice shady tree and sat under it, watching the battle commence. Masami definitely had the advantage, and she caught up with Chibiusa quite easily. With a loud thud, Masami tackled Chibiusa. The two lay there, Masami grinning, and Chibiusa pouting.
"You're it!" Masami declared triumphantly. Chibusa rolled around, and swatted her friend on the arm.
"Not any more!" she teased. Masami retailiated, and soon the two were tagging each other back and forth until.
"You're it!" they both declared at once. Masami blinked.
"We're both it?"
"I guess so," Chibiusa replied.
"But then, who's left to tag?" almost immediately following Masami's question, both girls grew sinister smiles on their faces. They stood up, and began walking back over to where they had started.
"Oh Mika-chaaaan."
*~*~*~*
5 seconds later
"DAMEEEE!!!!!!!!" shrieked the blonde girl as she ran as fast as she could to escape the other two.
"Come on, Mika!" Chibiusa called out as she ran.
"Yeah! It's only a game! We just want to play with you!" Masami taunted. They chased Mika back to the palace. They were in the back of the palace when suddenly, Mika stopped dead in her tracks. Masami caught up to her first, followed by Chibiusa.
"Ha! You're it!" the pink haired girl announced. Mika didn't move.
"Mika?" Mika slowly pointed towards something in front of her. "Nani?" Chibiusa looked where her friend was pointing. There in front of them were three shadowy figures standing in front of a terrified girl. The leader spoke up.
"Now tell me where they are!"
"I told you! I don't know what you're talking about!" the little girl answered in a shaking voice. Chibiusa motioned for Mika to back away. Mika sort of did that, only at a million miles an hour. Chibiusa turned around to Masami, but she wasn't there.
"Masami? Oh no. Where is she?" she murmured. Quickly, Chibiusa ducked behind a tree and transformed into Sailormoon. She stepped out again, but when she did, the three shadow warriors (let's call them that from now on) were gone as well. "Argh. Where are they?" Sailormoon said as she began to look for where they might be. She had just about circled the palace when she saw them. She instinctively ducked behind a bush so she wouldn't be seen. The three shadow warriors were no longer terrorizing the pointless minor character I told you about earlier. Instead they had cornered a girl wearing a black sailor fuku and had long blackish-blue hair tied back in a pony-tail. She recognized the senshi, but couldn't really remember her name. The girl's name was Sailor Star Cluster, and she was in a big heap of trouble. One of the shadow figures had created a sword, and was holding it up to Cluster's neck. Sailormoon was wondering why the girl wasn't defending herself, when she spotted a star shaped brooch thingy lying on the ground about ten feet away. Without hesitation, she leaped out of her hiding spot. "Hey you!" she called out. The shadow warriors turned their heads. Sailormoon stepped forward. "I don't know what you want, but I won't let you hurt another senshi! I am Neo Sailormoon, and I will punish you!" Two of the three shadow warriors looked up at Sailormoon and smirked.
"We can deal with you," they said in unison. They both charged at the same time, and fired green and red energy attacks.
"YAAAAA!!!!!" Sailormoon shrieked just as the two attacks flew past her. "Geez, they're strong."
Meanwhile, the leader was still threatening Cluster with her sword.
"Why are you trying to kill -me-?" she demanded. The shadow woman's eyes shone gold for a brief moment, then once again disappeared into the endless shadow that was her body.
"Why?" she asked in a quiet voice. "Because I was told." Cluster raised an eyebrow.
"Oh. You're the kind who obeys orders whether you understand them or not, aren't you?" she asked her attacker. "Just like a slave."
"Shut up!" the shadow warrior answered angrily, while at the same time, pressing her sword even harder against Cluster's throat. She gasped as the blade cut through her skin. "Just shut up! A slave, am I?! Well when I get my real self back, I'll show you a slave!" The woman slashed her sword across Cluster's throat, and the girl collapsed to the ground, holding her bleeding neck. "But for now, I'll just have to follow my orders," she grumbled looking down at Cluster angrily. She raised her sword, and was about to bring it down on the wounded girl when a golden energy blast came sailing through the air, knocking the huge sword out of her hands. Sailormoon and the three shadow warriors looked up and saw three sailor senshi standing up in a tree. The senshi were identical to the shadow warriors, except for the fact that they weren't covered in shadows. The leader spoke up.
"Let them go," she commanded. The shadow warrior who had been attacking Cluster glared at the new arrivals.
"Theta." she grumbled. Sailortheta, Sailorphi, and Sailorchi jumped down from the tree.
"I'll say it again. Let them go. They are not your concern." Theta demanded.
"I must obey my orders," the lead shadow warrior responded. "Until you surrender, I have no choice but to do as I am told." Theta's eye's narrowed. She jumped, and in the blink of an eye, she and her teammates were standing in between Cluster and the shadow woman. The shadow woman gritted her teeth, clenched her teeth and glared furiously at the three senshi. Then, she cast her glance to her own teammates. "You haven't seen the last of me, Theta," she grumbled. Then, in a flash of light, they were gone. The three sailor senshi nodded to each other and began to walk away.
"Matte!" came a voice from behind. The three senshi turned around to see Sailor Star Cluster standing up, holding her neck. She stared at the three strangers a while and then said, "Thank you." Theta smiled.
"No problem, kid," she replied, then she and the other two leapt into the air and disappeared. Cluster decided it was her turn to vanish, so she quickly ducked behind a corner (of the palace) and detransformed. Sailormoon just sat there feeling awfully left out and confused.
*~*~*~*
"Masami! Masami! Where are you?!" Chibiusa called out. Mika looked under a bush.
"Masami? Are you under there?" Chibiusa sighed.
"Mika, would you please-"
"Usa-chan! Aino-san!" The two girls looked up to the source of the voice.
"Masami-chan!!!" Chibiusa cried. Mika smiled.
"Ha! We found you! Now it's our turn to hide!" (Poor, poor Mika.) Chibiusa raced up to her friend and flung her arms around her neck. Oo. Bad idea. Masami immediately jerked her head back in pain.
"Masami-chan? What's wrong?" she asked worriedly.
"No, nothing's wrong," Masami responded reassuringly. Too late. Chibiusa spotted the red wound on Masami's neck.
"Are you sure? Let me see that." she murmured, getting closer. Masami sighed.
"I told you already, it's nothing." Chibiusa slowly lowered Masami's collar. She froze when she saw the wound. It was in the same place she had seen Sailor Star Cluster's neck slashed a few minutes ago.
