MEMORY FADES 2: YOU CAN'T REACH ME NOW
*****************************************
Montage of scenes.
She's not the kind of girl
Who likes to tell the world
About the way she feels
About herself
Goddess, I used to be pathetic. They all used me, I was always the happy one. The one who actually led but Serena got ALL the credit.
She takes a little time
In making up her mind
She doesn't want to fight
Against the tide
I used to be such a conformist a sheep. One day I decided. No more abuse, no more lies.
Lately I'm not the only one
I say never trust anyone
For a while I was suspicious of everyone, I didn't trust them. They never even noticed. They just continued on with their hum drum little lives without even noticing how I was stuck in mine.
Always the one who has to drag her down
Maybe you'll get what you want this time around
Malachite has been my anchor. I'm afraid I would have just run out and killed all my "friends". He taught me to wait.
To plan.
To plot.
Can't bear to face the truth
So sick he cannot move
And when it hurts he takes it
Out on you
I'm glad he really loves me. He could easily abuse the power he has over me. Like they did.
Lately I'm not the only one
I say never trust anyone
I have a hard time letting people get close to me. After what my "friends" did Malachite said he was surprised I have ever let anyone get close to me again.
Always the one who has to drag her down
Maybe you'll get what you want this time around
I love him. He's my focus. He gives my life meaning.
He's going to help me get my revenge.
The trick is to keep breathing
The trick is to keep breathing
At the time when I found Malachite and the other Generals I was just going to let them kill me. I figured it would be easier than going back to the lie that was my life. Malachite convinced to go back for a little while. Then nothing would ever hurt again.
She knows the human heart
And how to read the stars
Now everything's about to fall apart
Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night from nightmares that the scouts found out about my treachery. It scares me, but Malachite is always there to comfort me.
I won't be the one who's going to let you down (The trick is to keep breathing)
Maybe you'll get what you want this time around (The trick is to keep breathing)
With the Generals I feel special. With the scouts I used to just feel used and emotionally drained.
They were all such weaklings.
The trick is to keep breathing
The trick is to keep breathing
The trick is to keep breathing
Isn't it a wonderful life?

Mina is Dead. Long live Venus.
"MINA, NO! BRING HER BACK YOU BASTARDS!" Sailor Jupiter screamed at the fast disappearing General. The other scouts hadn't even gotten there yet. No one, not one of the other scouts realised that Mina had continued training three times a day to keep her powers up. The others were complacent and lazy. Not even bothering to do more than Physical Education at school.
SUCKERS
Venus smirked as she watched her "friend" in a mirror scamper around in disbelief at what had just happened.
Her mouth curled around in a cruel smile. An evil imitation of what she had looked like before.
"You all will pay." She muttered.
"That they will." A masculine voice said.
Venus's mouth curled into a real smile as she looked towards the man who had just come into the room.
"Malachite!" She said in surprise
"Venus why are you still wearing that.." He said pointedly looking at her scout uniform.
"Oops, sorry." Venus said magically transforming her sailor uniform into a short black low cut dress with spaghetti straps and black heels.
"Better?" Venus asked pouting.
He drew her in for a passionate kiss.
"Much."
"You know, two really sicken me." Another voice said.
Malachite growled at the interruption and both turned to face the intruder.
There was Jadeite smirking away again.
*Goddess, Malachite make him go away. He's so irritating.* Venus sent.
*I agree.* "Jadeite leave now!" Malachite ordered, using his authority as senior General to make Jadeite obey.
Jadeite gave one last grin and teleported.
"That man really needs to either find a hobby or a girlfriend." Venus muttered angrily.
"Hobby would probably be better, we don't know how he would treat a girlfriend."
"True, I wouldn't wish him on any girl, no matter how deserving." Venus said looking up at Malachite.
"Not even one of the scouts?" He asked.
"Except them" Venus spat venomously.
Malachite cut her off with a kiss.
"Shh..we don't have to talk about them right now." Malachite murmured into her hair.

"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU LET HIM TAKE HER!" Raye yelled angrily at Lita.
"I didn't LET anyone take her." Lita shrieked back.
"Take who.....Hello......Are you listening to me?" Serena said coming into the room.
"Well Serena, Lita.." Raye spat. "...Allowed Mina to be kidnapped by a NEGAVERSE General."
"A Negaverse General? But...but... they all died. Didn't they?" Serena asked.
"Apparently not." Raye said curtly.
"Hey don't get angry at me I didn't do anything!" Serena said angrily.
"Stop it! All of you. Behave like adults! Running around yelling is not going to bring Mina back." Amy said admonishingly.
The other three scouts immediately felt shamed.
"Amy's right, we're under strength. We can't afford to fight amongst ourselves when Mina is MIA and the outer scouts have sworn of helping us." Raye said calming down.
"That's right! We will show the Generals that the scouts are still a formidable fighting body even missing a few people." Artemis said. Inside he felt sickened by their loss.
*Gods I wish it had been someone else.* Artemis thought.
* * *
"The infighting has already started." Venus commented emotionlessly while watching the scene at the temple.
"Not long now love, soon the scouts will be powerless. Then we will attack." Malachite smirked.
"And you're just WAITING for that day, aren't you honey." Venus laughed happily.
"Malachite, Venus." Nephrite acknowledged both of their presence's with a nod. "When do we attack?"
"Leave them alone for a few weeks, allow them to wallow in their pity. Then we crush them." Venus said evilly, loving every moment of her ex-friends misfortunes.
"We need to get a new base of operations. What with this being where they fought Beryl, this is where they would think of coming first when they go on their 'witch hunt' for us." Nephrite said thoughtfully.
"None of you ever knew this Nephrite, Jadeite, but Beryl originally chose this frozen wasteland for the main base because of the magical potential out here. It was the lack of life that did it. There was nothing absorbing the energy." Malachite said.
"Tomorrow we go searching for a new home." Jadeite whooped.
"And start plotting our revenge." Venus muttered.
* * * *
"I'm going to Germany to study to be a doctor." Amy announced.
"When do you leave?" Serena said already upset by Mina's kidnapping. They held no hope that Mina was still alive. All they could hope for was to get revenge for her death.
"Do you want us to contact you when the time comes to get our revenge for Mina's death?" Serena asked softly.
"Yes, I think I'd like that very much." Amy replied.
"Have you told Lita and Raye?" Serena said even softer.
"Yes, I told them both yesterday at the meeting."
"No matter where you go, you will always be one of us." Serena finished.
"Thank you Sailor Moon."
* * * * *
"Oh dear, the little Sailor Brats are getting split up even further, see how depressed I am?" Venus said mockingly to Malachite.
Her mocking look suddenly turned to one of anger.
"They never really mourned me when I 'left' they were more interested at passing blame, wondering whose fault it was." Venus snarled.
"Quiet my love, you will get your revenge." Malachite murmured reassuringly.
"That I will." Venus said turning her eyes towards the picture in the mirror.
"That I will."
