A Story to Remember
Chapter 13: Cat and Mouse; Let the Games Begin

SHADOW PLANES

The two queens stood side by side, watching time play out before them. Queen Sensou's tail flicked and her face was etched with concern.

"I don't want my son to suffer, Serenity. He has already suffered enough."

"I know, Sensou, I know. I don't want to see my Serena hurt either, but Chronos will not allow his daughter to let us "interfere" in time again, unless absolutely necessary." Queen Serenity said to her friend. Suddenly she laughed out loud, slow and soft, almost like a sob. "It feels like my years are finally catching up with me." She said with a sad smile, never taking her eyes of the blue orb that showed them the universe.

"And mine, Serenity." Sensou took Serenity's hand, a very un-Saiya-Jin like thing, however, Sensou wasn't a "normal" Saiya-Jin. Serenity momentarily glanced at the woman who had become her best friend when they had met each other after death. She squeezed Sensou's hand and they both watched the orb intently.

'Please, Pluto.' Serenity though, 'Don't let anything happen to either of our children.'

"AAAIEEE" Mars screamed as she slipped on a wet branch, her ankle twisted and she fell hard on her high-heeled foot.

"Mars!" Venus cried out.

She kneeled down to help her friend. The Senshi had been trudging through the forest all night. Mercury had been able to locate the nearest city thanks to her computer. It had drizzled during the night as they walked, not hard, but enough to soak them, and dampen their spirits as well as the forest life around them. Now, in the early morning light, the forest was warm and damp and the mosquitoes were feasting. The grass and trees were damp and slippery as well, hence Mars's fall.

Uranus stopped and turned around, wiping sweat off her forehead with a gloved hand. She reached down and pulled Mars up, but she screamed as weight was put on her foot, and she fell down again.

"I think I sprained it." Mars said. Her ankle was already the size of a small apple, turning a blue-purple color. Uranus sighed.

"We can't stop, what if the dark forces are attacking right now?" she said, frustrated.

"We can't leave her behind, Uranus." Venus said, fearfully.

"She's right, Uranus." Neptune said, her eyes softening.

Uranus bent down so that she was in front or Mars's foot. She held her foot up, right above the ankle. Mars winced in pain. Uranus unsheathed her Space Sword and gently placed the tip against the top of Mars's shoe.

"W-what are you doing?" Mars said, her face scrunching up in pain.

"Your ankle has already swollen up considerably, I won't be able to get your shoe off so I'm going to cut it off."

Mars paled considerably. Uranus smirked and gently made a small nick in her red shoe. The shoe suddenly disappeared and Mars's foot was surrounded in rings of fire. Then they disappeared, leaving Mars's bare, swollen, foot.

"There that wasn't so bad?" Uranus said, still smirking. "Now we have to bandage it."

"Umm..With what?" Venus said, noting that their fukus were a bit too short to rip up to make bandages.

Mercury blushed at the thought and Neptune smiled knowingly at her. Jupiter sighed and removed her gloves, handing them to Mercury so she could make a bandage for Mars's foot. Venus growled in annoyance and slapped another mosquito that had been feeding on her neck.

"Lets go before we're eaten alive."

"Our sweat is attracting the mosquitoes." Mercury said thoughtfully.

Uranus picked Mars up, and prepared to carry her on her back.

"Well, it is kind of hot, Mercury." Jupiter pointed out, slapping a mosquito that had landed on her arm.

With a sigh of frustration the Senshi headed off again through the damp, humid forest.

The sun's light cracked through the dark curtains in Vegeta's room. The light traveled across the bed and onto Serena's pillow. She winced in the daylight, opening her eyes slowly. She felt a strong arm around her waist and looked over at the other occupant of the bed.

"Vegeta." She whispered softly, staring at him.

Even in sleep his facial expression seemed angry, yet his body was relaxed against hers and she sighed at the warmth she felt from him. She slowly reached a hand up and brushed his cheek, smiling at the shivers she felt run through her body. Slowly Serena remembered that she had to go back to school and reluctantly she started to get up. All of a sudden Vegeta's grip on her tightened just enough to make her cry out in surprise.

Serena looked down and her eyes locked with Vegeta's now open ones.

"I have to go to school." She whispered.

A flicker of emotion swept through his eyes, disappointment, again. Slowly he sat up in the bed, pulling his arm away from her waist. Serena suddenly felt very shy and looked down at the sheet, a small blush creeping over her cheeks as he scrutinized her every feature, memorizing her. Her hair was down and Vegeta ran his hand through it brushing just centimeters from her cheek. Serena's eyes widened as she noticed dried blood on his hands, out of the corner of her eye.

He put a hand on her cheek telling her silently to look at him. Her blush flamed as she looked away from the sheet back up to his face. He traced a finger over her lips feeling her warm breath on his hand. She sighed as he moved closer to her, until he was millimeters away. He moved slowly to kiss her, licking his lips. He was so close that their lips were almost touching, almost, but there was a half a millimeter of space left between them. Serena inhaled Vegeta's warm scent, wanting him to claim her lips once more, yet not moving.

She closed her eyes again; her soft lashes touching Vegeta's face. Silently Vegeta's moved; kissing her cheek, then dragged his lips softly up to her ear.

"Tell me about Endymion. Is he in this life? I want to know."

With a gasp, Serena pulled away from Vegeta. She moved off the bed and stood up, noting dried bloodstains on her nightwear.

"I...don't want to talk about him. I'll tell you someday, I promise."

Vegeta scowled at her. "I promise Veggie-chan." She pushed a strand of hair behind her ear and walked to the door,

"Ja ne, Veggie-chan." She said with a smile on her face before slipping out the door.

Vegeta narrowed his eyes, 'How can she control me, know me, so well?

Serena...'

TIME GATES

The fog swirled and billowed covering the Gates of Time in a laced curtain of haze. A young woman stood in front of the tremendous doors, her long green hair flowing silently around her. In her hands she held a staff and above it floated a garnet orb (to which she faced.)

"Father, I wish you would allow me to let Queen Sensou and Queen Serenity to see their children, they worry, as mothers will do."

The orb seemed to glow in response to her voice.

"No, I do not question you, Father. You are the embodiment of time; I am merely a soldier who must protect these sacred gates. I trust in your knowledge of the past, present, and future."

The orb glimmered again and the woman's eyes hardened.

"Yes, I understand, I will not allow Sensou and Serenity to "interfere" unless I am given permission. The dark forces are strong, can the Senshi defeat them, Father?"

Slowly the orb stopped shimmering and the young woman rested the Garnet Orb back into its place upon her staff.

"I understand."

CCPC

Catseye floated above the enormous college, her eyes shimmering with anticipation.

"Soon, the Lady of the Cosmos will be mine and the Dark Lord will favor me over the others."

She smiled, her sharp, pointed teeth, barred. Her black hair swirled around her and her aura of evil blazed around her. Her yellow-green eyes, narrowed as she studied her soon to be victims. Fur bristling, she faded out and appeared right in the middle of the campus.

"Hey! Who are you!" A young student cried out in surprise.

With a laugh, Catseye struck out at the girl with her sharp claws, slicing through her books to the soft flesh of her abdomen. The girl's eyes widened in surprise as her books slipped out of her hands and she fell to the ground, her shirt stained with deep, crimson, blood. Screams erupted from the students as the blood pooled around the fallen girl.

Smiling, Catseye let out a soft "meow." Toning her pitch just right, she increased the wave of the sound, the pitch rising higher and higher on the decibel scale until the sound seemed non-existent. Suddenly all over CCPC the students began covering their ears, the sound penetrated to their souls, draining their energy. Students began falling unconscious all over the campus, in the dorms, everywhere.

Soon, the school was silent, not a sound was heard, but the aura of darkness was palpable. Smirking in triumph, Catseye held her hands up, her hair billowing in the growing wind.

"Darkness come, always in sight
To triumph with your evil might.
The souls we shall steal, for our darkness to continue,
We seek our sacred revenue.
Take their starseeds, let us boast
She will come to us, the Lady of the Cosmos."

Shadows moved around the school, seeping into the fallen bodies, taking their starseeds.

MIRAI AND MADAISON'S DORM

"Mirai what's going on!" Madison yelled frantically. She stared outside the window, bodies were littered across the campus, and in the middle was a strange woman with...fur?

"I don't know, and how come we haven't been affected?" Mirai said thoughtfully. 'The dark forces have finally arrived.' She thought, apprehensively.

"Hotaru! Do you know!" Madison's usual joyful face was replaced with one of trepidation.

Mirai looked carefully at the young teenager, "Hotaru...Wha...What are you doing?"

Hotaru's hands were placed lightly on the double-doors of the dorm. A faint violet glow surrounded her and the doors shimmered a dim purple as well. A thin glazing of sweat covered her forehead as her thin, milky hands projected the power to keep the dark power from stealing their starseeds.

"Hotaru?" Madison whispered.

Mirai put an arm on Madison's shoulder, "I think she knows what she's doing, Madison."

"But the other students..." Madison started, eyes wide.

"I...Don't...Know." Mirai stated calmly, although she stopped, as though to catch her breath between words. "We should trust Hotaru, and Serena." Mirai said, having already explained about her visions to Madison and who the Senshi were.

Mirai wrapped an arm around Madison, hugging her to her own body. Madison trembled with fear and she hugged Mirai, her jet-black hair, contrasting her pale skin.

"I hope Serena's alright." Madison whispered

Hotaru's POV

'How long can I hold the power off?' Hotaru thought frantically, already breathing heavily.

She was drawing on her energy to keep the dark power away. Mirai and Madison were behind her; she could feel their fear. Hotaru's body shook with the power she was emanating, considering she wasn't in her Senshi form.

'I hope the other Senshi get here soon, as Pluto said. I can't generate this much power for much longer.'

Mirai's POV

She could feel Madison's body shaking against her own, with fear. Mirai glanced down at her beautiful best friend, and immediately guilt rushed through her.

'You don't deserve to experience this fear, Madison.' Mirai thought, sadly. 'I'm the one with the visions. I'm the one who deserves this, not you. I'm so sorry Madison, now it seems we're all stuck in this nightmare, you, me, Serena, the Sailor Senshi, everyone.'

Mirai ran her other hand through her short brown hair, her deep brown eyes hardening with anger.

"Serena...Serena?...Serena!"

"Huh?" Serena looked up. Bulma had already gotten out of the car and had been trying to get her attention.

"We're back at school, Serena." Bulma said, slipping her keys into her lab coat pocket.

Serena blushed in embarrassment, "Oh, I'm sorry."

She opened the car door, getting out to stand with Bulma. The two women headed toward the school, already talking about their plans for that day. As they neared the school's center grounds, Serena began to feel uneasy.

'What is that strange presence I feel? Could it be the negative forces? Have they found me!' Serena's heart skipped a beat when suddenly she heard Bulma gasp.

"Oh Kami! What's happened!" Bulma exclaimed.

It was then that Serena noticed the fallen bodies littering the campus, and how the sky was a dark, crimson-black color in this area of the school.

"Those are starseeds!" Serena cried out, her eyes widening in shock. "But who..."

"So. The Lady of the Cosmos has finally shown herself." Catseye let her hands fall to her sides, her fur bristled and a smile spread on her face as she turned to face the new arrivals.

"What? Who?" Bulma said feeling very confused.

Serena seemed confused as well, "Lady of the Cosmos? Who is that? And, who are you, you are obviously not human." She said, noting the fur and claws. "What happened to all these women?"

"So many questions. Why don't you transform, Sailor Moon and we can have a real match!"

"Sailor who?" Bulma was beginning to get very frustrated, "I have NO IDEA what you are talking about or WHO you are! I want to know what happened to my students!"

'She knows who I am' Serena thought, dread rushing through her blood, 'could she be a part of the dark forces Pluto was talking about?' She glanced at Bulma, she couldn't fight with her there; she might get hurt.

"Bulma." Serena said quietly, moving reaching for her pocket where her henshin was, "I want you to go find a safe place to hide."

"What? What for? What's going on Serena? Do you know that woman...er...cat...er woman/cat?"

"Please do what I say, I don't want you to get hurt." She replied.

Bulma glanced at her friend before running of, apprehension filling her heart.

"Who are you and how do you know who I am?" Serena called out.

"My name is Catseye, I am the youngest of the Four Warriors!" She smiled evilly, her sharp teeth gleaming. "And I know that you are Sailor Moon."

Serena narrowed her eyes, "So, you ARE a part of the dark forces that have come for me. Why have you hurt these women?"

"I don't have to explain myself to you." Catseye retorted, "I'm giving you the chance to transform and come with me quietly."

"Never!" Serena shouted.

Catseye's eyes narrowed, flashing with anger, "Well then, I'll just have to take you by FORCE!" she growled, furiously.

Catseye charged at Serena at an amazing speed. With a scream, Serena ducked out of the way of Catseye's uppercut, however her clawed nails grazed her head, cutting off a few strands of hair. Catseye jumped back and moved into a fighting stance, her black, furred tail, lashing behind her.

"I don't want to hurt you, Lady. This I your last chance."

"Why do you want me?" Serena asked, clutching her henshin, in her pocket.

"My lord wants you, I don't question him." Catseye retorted, baring her teeth.

"I'm not going anywhere!" Serena declared, her voice hardening.

Catseye was not at all pleased, her eyes flashed with anger and she charged at Serena again. This time, Serena anticipated her move and prepared to fight back, when, unexpectedly, Catseye changed her strategy. She flipped over Serena, and kicked her hard form behind. Just as Serena was about to hit the ground, Catseye caught her by her hair, pulling her to her knees, her grip painful on Serena's head.

"I thought you would be more of a challenge, Sailor Moon." Catseye taunted, triumphantly.

She shoved her clawed hand into Serena's pocket, ripping through the fabric and through the flesh of Serena's hip and upper thigh. She grabbed her henshin and pulled her hand out, holding it tightly.

Serena's scalp felt like it was being ripped off and tears welled in her eyes, threatening to fall.

'How can this be?' She thought 'How can it be that I have been defeated without using a single attack, much less transforming?'

Catseye held Serena bye her hair, tugging her hair hard to get her attention.

"Now you will come with me, Lady." Catseye wound her tail around Serena's neck, daring her to move.

Now her tears were falling, 'Someone help me.'

Bulma

"Oh Kami! What's happening!" Bulma cried out, as she watched the horrifying scene. 'And what does Serena have to do with all this?'

Bulma shook the prying thoughts away. 'I have to find someone to help Serena before it's too late. But who would do it?' She thought for about 3 seconds when she came up with the perfect answer.

'GOKU!'

Bulma pulled off her lab coat and fished through her pockets. "HA! Found it!"

She pulled out her cell phone and quickly dialed Chi-Chi's phone number.

Phone rings in the Son home

"Hello?" Chi-Chi said, cheerfully.

"Hello? Chi-Chi!"

"Yes?"

"Oh thank KAMI you're there! Listen, I'm at CCPC and there's some woman attacking and I need..."

"NO! There is NO WAY my little baby is going off to fight again!"

"No Chi-Chi, I was hoping Goku might come, Serena's in trouble and I need..."

"Serena; The girl at the party? Oh, she's in trouble? The poor girl, how can I help though?"

"NO! Just please send Goku to CCPC please!"

"Hmm...Well...he's sleeping."

"ARG! Never mind Chi-Chi!"

"How rude of her, she just hung up without saying good-bye." Chi-Chi hung up the phone and returned to her cooking.

Bulma sighed and thought some more; with a heavy heart she dialed the number for Capsule Corp.

The phone rang in the Brief's house and Vegeta sitting at the table, got up to answer it.

In an annoyed voice, he asked whom it was, hoping the person wouldn't talk too long.

"Hello?"

"Vegeta! Thank Kami you're there! I called Chi-Chi and Goku's asleep and I need..."

"What? What the hell are you saying, Woman?"

"How many times to I have to tell you NOT to call me woman, you little vegetable brained, monkey!"

"Who are you calling a monkey you weakling! What the hell do you want!"

"Want? Oh! Serena's in trouble!"

"WHAT!"

Bulma was startled by the emotion in his voice but continued, "We're at CCPC and there's this strange woman and she wants to..."

A click is heard

"Vegeta? Vegeta? Are you there!"

Catseye lifted Serena off the ground with her tail still wrapped around her neck. Serena's odango's had come undone and her silky blonde hair, swept around her.

"Now we will leave, Lady and take these starseeds as a bonus!" Catseye smiled as the darkness swirled around the two.

"STOP RIGHT THERE!"

Serena's eyes widened, she'd know that voice anywhere.

There, on the other side of the center grounds were Sailor Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Venus, Neptune, and Uranus. Each one looked tattered, tired, and sweaty. But each looked determined to stop who ever this enemy was.

With a grunt of pain, Mars slipped off Uranus's back but she still leaned heavily on her.

"Serena?" She shouted out, "Are you ok?"

Catseye twisted Serena's hair tightly, clenching her clawed hands in Serena's hair. 'Do I look ok?' Serena thought incredulously.

"And you must be the Sailor Senshi, am I right?" Catseye remarked.

"Let Serena go now!" Mercury called out, knowing that Catseye had the upper hand with her grip on Serena's neck.

"I'm afraid that won't be possible." Catseye replied, her eyes gleaming, already anticipating her next move.

"Hey Mercury." Venus whispered, "Aren't those starseeds?" The other Senshi soon copied Venus's shocked expression as they noticed the fallen women and their starseeds.

Catseye smiled, "Do you like my work? Perhaps I will give you a small demonstration!"

The Senshi tensed ready for a battle.

THE DARK VOID

"Catseye is doing well." Brimstone remarked.

"Very well. Do you think she can win?" Ivy said, running a hand through her jade green hair.

Suddenly a gust of freezing cold air filled the room and Darkflake appeared.

"Catseye won't win."

"Hmm? Why do you say that?" Brimstone said, clutching her staff harder. Darkflake was stronger than Ivy and her.

"Because of the Saiya-Jins." Darkflake said, a smile haunting her snow-white skin.

"Saiya-Jins! What Saiya-Jins?" Ivy cried out, her olive-black eyes widening in surprise. "The Dark Lord said nothing of Saiya-Jins."

Brimstone hit her staff hard against the floor, he eyes flaming, "It makes no difference, Catseye told the Dark Lord that she will defeat the Senshi, and anyone else in her way. IF she succeeds then she will be in the Dark Lord's favor."

"She won't be able to defeat the Saiya-Jins and I know for a fact that one is heading toward that very place as we speak." Darkflake smiled, and pointed at the hologram. She had no feelings for her "comrades" and all that was important to her was to be in the Dark Lord's favor. "She will fail."

Ivy smiled sweetly, "IF she does, it will be my turn."

Brimstone disappeared in a swirl of flames, anger coursing through her dark veins at what her "comrades" were saying. She didn't trust Darkflake anymore than she trusted Ivy, and she knew anyone of them would slit the others throat to be in the Dark Lord's favor...as she would.

Ivy held up her hand, and a flower blossom appeared, she put it behind her ear and turned to watch the upcoming battle. "I wonder what Brimstone's problem is?"

Darkflake smirked, her icy heart pounding. 'Soon...Soon...'

The Senshi had moved closer to Catseye and Serena but made no move to attack, fearing that they might hit their leader.

"I suppose there is only one way to settle this!" Catseye exclaimed. With an animalistic cry, she released Serena's hair and picked her up, holding her above her head. With a smirk of satisfaction, she threw Serena at the Senshi, laughing evilly at Serena's scream.

Uranus let go of Mars and grabbed Serena, falling back with the force of the impact. Catseye ran again, putting her agility to good use. She did a back flip over the Senshi and landed 5 feet in back of them.

"Ha ha! Try and catch me!" Catseye cried out, getting down on all fours, looking even more like a cat.

Mars leaned heavily on Venus and Uranus held Serena in her arms.

"S-she has my h-henshin." Serena said weakly, her leg was bleeding and her scalp was burning.

"WHAT!" Jupiter exclaimed.

Catseye smirked at them, still on all fours. She smiled showing her sharp teeth and in her mouth was Serena's henshin!

"Then will have to get it away from her." Mercury said, tensing. "We have to anticipate. This woman or whatever she is, is strong; She's anticipating our movements like an animal, we have to be careful."

"Right." Jupiter said. "We have to get Serena's henshin."

"Then we can save all these girls." Mars said, as Venus supported her.

"Alright." Neptune said thoughtfully, "We need a plan."

"Is this going to take all day!" Catseye "mmfffed" out, because Serena's henshin was in her mouth.

"Uranus, you stay with Mars. When you see an opening, Venus, get to the dorms and try and find Saturn, Pluto said she was here. Neptune, Mercury, and Jupiter, you'll be the offensive line, and Uranus, I'm depending on you for defense." Serena said, rubbing her sore scalp.

Everyone stared at her

"What!" She cried out.

"err...ummmm...nothing." Mercury said, "Lets do it!"

"Finally" Catseye "mmmmfed" again.

"I'll go find Bulma and get her out of here." Serena said, struggling to her feet.

"Who?" Mars asked.

"I'll explain later." Serena said.

Catseye smirked as Mercury, Jupiter and Neptune moved into a fighting stance, their eyes hard and determined.

"Lets do it!" Jupiter cried

"SHABON SPRAY!" (AN: I've decided to use both NA and Japanese attack phrases, if I use Shabon Spray here and Mercury Bubbles Blast somewhere else, don't be mad.)

The fog swirled around the Senshi and Catseye and immediately Serena took off to find Bulma and Venus ran for the dorm.

THE DARK VOID

"Interesting. The Senshi may prove to be worthy adversaries after all." The Dark Lord commented. "Darkflake, Brimstone, Ivy!"

The three females appeared in the Dark Lords throne room. "Yes, My Lord?" They chorused.

The hologram was being projected here as well. "Watch the battle, make sure everything runs smoothly."

"Where are you going, My Lord?" Ivy asked, tentively.

"I do not believe that I any of your business, but if you must know, I am meeting with an...associate of mine."

Brimstone and Darkflake smirked.

"Forgive me, My Lord, for prying." Ivy said quietly, shooting daggers at her partners.

The Dark Lord said nothing, but disappeared in a flash of black shadow.

Mercury watched Jupiter prepare to attack. "WAIT! We can't attack here, there are too many bodies! They'd be killed for sure!" (AN: Even though, without their starseeds they are..kinda dead...heh heh.)

"Hurry then!" Uranus shouted! "Before the fog clears!" The 5 remaining Senshi ran off the campus, heading toward the parking lot.

The fog finally cleared and it revealed Catseye, her eyes burning with anger.

"You won't get away!" She held up her hands, and encased Serena's henshin in a black bubble. Holding it in front of her chest, it slowly disappeared. Growling, she ran, on all fours, at her top speed until she was nothing but a blur charging at the fleeing Senshi.

Mercury screamed as Catseye charged past her, her arms outstretched. Her sharp claws left 5 deep gashes in Mercury's fuku. Mercury stumbled and fell, holding her bleeding side.

"Mercury!" Neptune cried out, eyes wide. 'How can she move so fast?' She ran to Mercury's side.

Catseye laughed out loud, "Ha! You are NOTHING to me!"

"Oh yea! JUPITER OAK EVOLUTION!"

The swirling leaves and power sped at Catseye at an amazing speed, she smiled as the attack exploded.

"Ha! I got her!" Jupiter exclaimed.

"Not quiet, sailor girl!" Catseye stood on the hood of a car, 10 feet away from where the attack had hit.

"No!" Jupiter yelled.

"RAZER CLAW!" Catseye shouted, sharp blades of black light sped at Jupiter. Jupiter shrieked as the blades slit her fuku in different places, cutting her cheeks and legs, and leaving gashes 2 cm deep. Blood poured from her mouth as she sank to her knees and feel, laying still.

"Jupiter!" Neptune cried out.

"Two down. You're next." Her fur bristled in eagerness.

DARK VOID

"Wow, Catseye is doing well. Maybe she will defeat them." Brimstone said.

"Maybe." Ivy remarked.

"I doubt it, she has a large ego and it will get her in trouble." Darkflake said suspiciously.

"Hmmm..."

Bulma began to shake as she heard rustling in the bushes. 'o-oh n-no...w-who's t-that?' She thought fearfully.

"Bulma!" Serena shouted, stumbling into the bushes.

"Serena! I thought you were done for! Who is that woman? What happened to my students? What does this have to do with you? Who are those other women in short skirts?"

"I'll explain it later." Serena said, "Right now, I've got to get you out of here!"

"I sent for help!" Bulma said, grabbing Serena's hand.

"Really?"

"Yes, Vegeta's on his way."

"WHAT?" Serena exclaimed. 'He's coming here...to...help?' a light blush covered Serena's cheeks as she thought of Vegeta. "What about Goku?"

"Don't ask."

Suddenly faint screams were heard from the parking lot. 'The Senshi!' Serena thought 'but what can I do? I HAVE to protect Bulma!'

Serena and Bulma ran towards the parking lot.

"Where are we going?" Bulma said.

Serena didn't answer, but kept going, 'to save my Senshi. Vegeta, hurry.'

Catseye dug her claws into Neptune's wrist, swinging her around she let go, slamming her into another car. Neptune screamed as she felt 3 or 4 vertebrae in her back crack and shatter, and her legs twist painfully. She couldn't move at all.

"Ahhh ha ha ha ha ha! I have defeated you all!" Catseye laughed triumphantly once more.

"VENUS LOVE AND BEAUTY SCHOCK!"

Caught off guard the attack hit Catseye hard to the side, causing her to fall off the top of the car and to the ground. Venus and Saturn ran to where Catseye was.

"Oh no." Saturn whispered.

"Neptune...Mercury...Jupiter..." Venus said, tears filling her eyes.

Catseye crawled to her feet, "YOU'LL PAY FOR THAT!" Her eyes blazed with animalistic power.

"RAZOR CLAW!"

"SILENT WALL!" Saturn shouted, holding up her glaive and blocking the tremendous power. When the attack subsided, Saturn twirled her glaive, knowing to attack only if necessary, but anger filling her small body. Serena and Bulma ran into the parking lot only to be startled with the scene.

"Serena!" Madison cried out, seeing her friend approach the battleground."

Madison and Mirai had been with Hotaru when Venus had found her and they had gone with the two Senshi after Hotaru had transformed.

"Mirai! Madison! You're alright!"

"Yea." Mirai said, her eyes focusing on Catseye. 'My visions, they're all coming true...' She thought.

"What's going on!" Bulma shouted.

"Oh No! Mercury, Jupiter, Neptune!" Serena exclaimed, staring at her fallen protectors, ignoring Bulma's question.

"I'll destroy you all!" Catseye shouted.

THE DARK VOID

"Catseye's in over her head." Darkflake said, smugly.

"Oh well, if she fails, that's just a better chance for us." Ivy said, her jade green eyes flashing wickedly.

'Or better chances for me.' Darkflake thought, her cold heart growing even colder.

"Hmmm..." Brimstone remarked. "Should we help her?"

"Wait." Darkflake said.

Bulma screamed as Catseye let loose another Razor Claw. Serena pushed her to the ground. The other Senshi ducked as well.

"We have to get to Mercury, Jupiter, and Neptune!" Uranus shouted.

"She's right." Mars said, sitting next to Serena, "I can't walk, though."

Saturn noticed a black bubble floating above Catseye, "Isn't that your henshin, Serena? It seems to be surrounded by some sort of shield."

"Maybe I can fix that!" Mars said, struggling painfully to her feet.

"MARS!"

Catseye narrowed her eyes at the weak woman in front of her, barely able to stand.

"Take your best shot!" She cried confidently, whipping her tail.

"FLAME SNIPER!"

Catseye expected the attack to hit her, and jumped to the next car.

"YATTA!" Mars shouted, forgetting the searing pain in her foot as the arrow hit straight through the black bubble, shattering it!

Realizing the trick, Catseye leapt into the air, grabbing the henshin before it fell.

"Oh No!" Serena shouted.

"Those kind of tricks won't work on me, sailor fools!" Catseye said, even more confident with her power than before. There is no way that you can beat me!"

Bulma suddenly saw something out of the corner of her eye, "He's here!" She exclaimed happily.

"Who?" Serena said. She finally noticed the figure, and her eyes widened.

Catseye turned around to face the new comer. She gasped, "A Saiya-Jin!" Just as the beam of power hit.

SM DIMENSION

The sun bore down on the beautiful tropical island. The crystal waters lapped at the edges of the sand beach, creating the perfect, peaceful scene. However, all was not good in this paradise.

The Dark Lord stood beneath a palm tree, the dark shadows shading him and protecting him from warmth. Lying on a beach chair a few feet away was his associate.

"Have you completed the task yet?"

"My warriors have agreed to fight." The Dark Lord replied.

"Squabbling women." The other man sneered.

"They would do anything to be in my favor, even kill one another. They will get the job done."

"Good. Complete the task and I will give you the power you need."

"You!" The Dark Lord exclaimed, emotion running through his morbid voice.

"I will get the power from my...elders." The man smiled. "I want my power and you want yours. Kill the Senshi and I will give you the power you need."

"And what will you get out of this?"

"I will rule this world alone, with out that odango-headed baka in my way. Yes, I was planning our breakup for later, but the time was right. Everything is going as planned, although I didn't expect the baka to go to another dimension. You will have your power, but you must leave this dimension alone, I will rule here."

"I understand." The Dark Lord said, "It will be done." In a swirl of dark power, he disappeared.

'This galaxy, this dimension, will soon be mine.'

The man sat up and swept a tan hand through his black hair. From his shirt he took a red rose and set it in the empty glass next to him.

Catseye shrieked in pain as Vegeta's attack hit her, scorching her fur. Serena's henshin flew out of her hand and rolled to where Madison and Mirai stood, gaping at the site.

"Who is that!" Mars cried out, her eyes wide.

Uranus glared at the man, but ran to where Neptune was. Venus and Saturn ran to help Jupiter and Mercury, suspicious, but thankful for the distraction.

"Vegeta!" Bulma cried happily, waving her arms at him.

Vegeta floated to the ground and glared a Bulma, Serena was behind him, he could feel her. 'She stronger than she looks.' Vegeta thought, staring at Catseye.

"Vegeta." Serena whispered, "Thank Kami you're here."

Vegeta turned and let his gaze linger on her, smirking as she blushed.

Catseye struggled to her knees, her blood matting her scorched fur, "So you're the Saiya-Jin?" She said snidely.

"I am the Prince of the Saiya-Jins." Vegeta said confidently, smirking at her. He turned to Bulma, "I can't believe you called me here to fight such a weak opponent."

"WHAT!" Bulma shouted angrily, "This isn't some sparring session!"

Mirai's eyes were wide, "He's...He's one of the warriors from my vision.'

"Mirai..." Madison whispered, she took Mirai's hand and squeezed it, smiling faintly when the other woman squeezed back.

Catseye's loud growl caught everyone's attention, "You will NEVER defeat me, Saiya-Jin!" She held up her hands, and Vegeta smiled, but tensed slightly.

"I call for the darkness that penetrates my soul, let the animals arise from death! You need only my voice to fight them!"

"Animals?" Serena said, bewildered.

"Serena look!" Uranus shouted, holding Neptune in her arms.

Coming from the campus were the fallen students, staggering toward them like zombies, their starseeds floating in front of them.

Bulma almost died of a heart attack.

"But...But...How, their starseeds have been taken?" Serena gasped.

Vegeta narrowed his eyes.

"OBEY ME! Animals of this plant! You are soulless; you are MINE! Destroy these fools that dare to defy us!" Catseye shouted.

"She's using them! She's knows we won't attack!" Serena shouted.

Mirai gasped as one of the females reached for her neck, "They're closing in on us!" she shouted, grabbing the woman's hands.

"How can we stop them if we can't hurt them!" Madison shouted, as she shoved another girl (gently) away from her.

About 300 women staggered towards them, eyes glowing blood red. The girl who had been struck down my Catseye in the beginning was there as well, blood staining her shirt as she staggered forward.

Vegeta turned to Serena, resisting the urge to touch her, he said, "We don't stop them, we stop her." Pointing to Catseye.

"Can...can you do it?" Serena said, blushing furiously.

He smirked at her, "Of course I can, Woman."

Bulma waved, "A little help here!" She cried, as the females surrounded the group in the parking lot, clutching and grabbing at them. Serena nodded at Vegeta and ran to help Bulma.

Catseye's laugh echoed across the school, "No one can defeat me."

"Hmm." Vegeta began gathering energy in his hands.

"What is he doing?" Mars whispered.

"I don't know, but he's powerful, I can feel it." She replied, holding Mercury in her hands, pressing a hand to her wound.

"Yeah." Mars said.

"Whatever he's going to do, he'd better do it while she's still distracted." Saturn said, trying to support Jupiter.

Vegeta's body was concentrated with power, "BIG BANG ATTACK!"

Catseye's ears pricked up quickly at the sound of the attack but she wasn't fast enough. Her scream echoed across the parking lot as the attack exploded, shattering and destroying the cars.

"Holy shit!" Mars shouted.

Venus covered Mercury's body with her own, while Saturn and Uranus did the same for Jupiter and Neptune, as bits of wheels and chunks of burning metal flew through the air.

Serena fell to her knees, covering her head, pulling Bulma down with her. 'I never knew he was so powerful.'

The attack finally subsided and Vegeta stood, breathing slowly. Catseye lay crumpled on the parking lot ground, hunched in a fetal position. Now that she was no longer using her energy to control the women, they collapsed to the ground.

Serena moved her hands from her head, "Oh...My...God..."

"THE CARS!" Bulma shouted angrily, "Vegeta you baka! I'll have to pay for these!"

Vegeta ignored them, but watched Catseye intently. All of a sudden 3 women appeared out of nowhere.

"Looks like you lost, Catseye." Said the woman with jade green hair.

"Poor Catseye, it's all over for you now, and you were so confident." The woman with white hair said, her silk cape blowing in the wind.

The woman with red hair said nothing, but her eyes burned with fire and in her hand she held a staff with a star on top.

"Who are you?" Serena said, struggling to her feet, and standing next to Vegeta.

"We are the Four...excuse me, Three Warriors. I'm the 3rd warrior, Ivy." She smiled, stepping forward, her dark, emerald green, leaf print boots, clicking against the ground.

"I am Brimstone, the 2nd warrior."

"And I am Darkflake, the 1st warrior and the strongest." She said smugly.

Catseye stirred and her eyes focused on her three comrades, "Oh, you've come to help me?"

"Not exactly, Catseye." Ivy said sweetly.

Brimstone shut her eyes, not wanting to see what would happen next.

"W-what?" Catseye stuttered.

The Sailor Senshi, Mirai and Madison, Bulma, and Vegeta watched intently, wondering what would happen.

Darkflake stared down at her "comrade" her ice blue eyes hardening,

"You have failed, Catseye. We do not accept failures in our ranks."

"B-But."

"Bye Catseye." Ivy said.

"FROST ENCASING!" Darkflake shouted, and Catseye's body was incased in ice, strong, thick, and cold. Darkflake held her hands over it and squeezed them, the glass shattered and the pieces disappeared. Darkflake laughed coldly.

"Until we meet again, Sailor Senshi." And the three women disappeared in a shadow.
