MEMORY FADES 4 : (I THOUGHT YOU WERE) SPECIAL
**********************************************
I'm living without you but
I know all about you
I wonder if the scouts told my parents I'm MIA or "dead". Probably not. My parents were never around, so I wonder if they're that cut up about my disappearance.
I have run you down into the ground
Spread disease about you over town
Local authorities are beginning to spread rumors about my disappearance. It didn't take much, all I had to do was put some youmas into influential positions or tamper with their minds.
I used to adore you
I couldn't control you
Well scouts, are you happy? I was on the fighting scene long before Luna found any of you. Then you showed up and took it from me. I tried to show my leadership skills, but instead I found myself pushed into being a bubble-brain.
There was nothing that I wouldn't do
To keep myself around and close to you
I thought they were my FRIENDS for God's sakes, how could they just run along like I didn't matter, even before I left?
Do you have an opinion
A mind of your own
With them I conformed, was nothing, would still be nothing.
I thought you were special
I thought you should know
Nothing at all
But I've run out of patience
I couldn't care less
I really don't care anymore what they think. I'm in the Negaverse now, I'm one of the most respected people.
Do you have an opinion
A mind of your own
Mama always said there was room to go on to bigger and better things.
I thought you were special
I thought you should know
I somehow don't think this is what she meant.
I used to amuse you
But I knew that I'd lose you
I was always the damn peacemaker, the one who had everything together. I knew I'd move on someday.
Now you're here and begging for a chance
But there's no way in hell I'd take you back
Even if one of the scouts found out about my changed affiliations and wanted to join us I wouldn't let them.
Do you have an opinion
A mind of your own
They might even try to take control from Malachite and I.
I thought you were special
I thought you should know
It sickens me how I used to act around them, I used to let them cage me.
But I've run out of patience
No more, no longer.
I've run out of comments
I'm tired of the violence
I couldn't care less
I should just go and show them the new me. But I have to wait, have to make them squirm.
I'm looking for a new infection
But we were the talk of the town
Everyone loved the Sailor Scouts, but they only knew about Sailor Moon. It still hurts me to remember I saved that bunch of kids and they didn't know who I was. They only knew Sailor Moon.
I thought you were special.
But not again.
Never again.

"Jadeite, establish one of your old patterns, let the scouts think they know how to beat you. Take one of the weaker Youmas, but not one of the weakest. We need to see how well they fight and we need to see their strategies."
Malachite drummed his fingers on the armchair impatiently, then after Jadeite left he slumped. Venus had not been sleeping at all, and now had stopped eating. Hopefully tactics would take her mind off her worries, for a little time at least.
"Malachite?" Her voice was barely more than a whisper. Her face was stark white and she had dark circles under her eyes.
Looking at her then, Malachite was tempted to put her in a healing trance, just so she could sleep ten hours straight. But she'd never forgive him if he did that.
"Yes my Love?"
"Hurt the Scouts for me please." She said looking like a small child.
Malachite gathered her into his arms.
"My Love, Jadeite is out doing just that." He murmured into her hair.
"Good." Was all she said before dropping into a deep sleep.
* *
"Now Mystera, you stay back here with the video camera while Kriane and I battle the scouts. No matter what happens don't reveal yourself otherwise you will be answering to Lord Malachite and Lady Venus."
After giving his commands to his satisfaction Jadeite materialized in the middle of the park with a particularly ugly Youma chosen for that exact purpose.
"Go steal some energy Kriane,"
As soon as Kriane stepped out and went to work people started screaming and running in all directions.
Then when Jadeite saw a familiar red haired girl go down he knew it was only a matter of minutes.

"Hold it right there Nega-trash" Jadeite rolled his eyes, didn't they ever change what they said?
"Sailor Moon - so nice to see you again." Jadeite said trying to avoid sounding bored, but not succeeding very well.
"How dare you try and hurt people at play in the park! I'm Sailor Moon. In the name of the moon, I will right wrongs and triumph over evil. And that means you!"
"In the name of Mars!"
"In the name of Jupiter!"
"Need a hand Sailor Scouts?" The voice floated out of nowhere accompanied by cheesy music. Jadeite rolled his eyes.
'Come on, come on, defeat Kriane, I want to go home!' He thought. Jadeite had been coaching Kriane in taunting people recently. More specifically taunting the three remaining Sailor Scouts and Tuxedo Mask.
"One, two, three." Kriane counted slowly. "Now where are those other two Scouts?" He said.
Sailor Moon looked like she was about to start wailing.
Sailor Mars looked furious.
"You guys know very well what happened to Sailor Venus!" She glared. Fancy a monster who could barely count to three taunting them!
This made everyone snap out of the daze they were in. The scouts and Tuxedo mask quickly dispatched the youma and looked around for Jadeite.
Gone
The word whispered on the wind.
Gone
Just like Venus.
And they'd never see her.
Hear her.
Listen to her.
Ever again.
Or so they thought. But soon they would not think.
* * *
Venus and Malachite watched the day's earlier battle with the scouts eagerly, trying to detect any weaknesses whatsoever.
Venus's smile of delight vanished.
Malachite looked towards her warily.
"I was that BAD?!" She yelled.
"They're only bad because both their strategists are gone. One out of the country, and the other out of the dimension." Malachite smirked.
"Taking them should be easy." Venus commented.
"Don't be so sure my Love, remember, never underestimate your enemy." Malachite warned.
Venus's tired look disappeared, and she slapped him playfully on the arm.
"You, I trained with them from the beginning. _I_ know how they work as a team better than they do. Can't you just have a little faith in me. Please?" Venus asked batting her eyelashes at him.
Malachite sighed mock-tiredly. "I just don't want to see them hurt you." 'I've already lost one lover to them, I don't want to lose another.'
"Hey, what's that frown for?" Venus asked even though she already knew. 'Zoicite's death is getting to him again. I guess I'd better stop being depressed around him.' "Turn that frown, upside-down!" She said acting like an aerobics instructor.
She leant down and gave him a tight hug.
"I need some new clothes. Can I go back to England to buy some?" She said suddenly changing the subject.
Malachite smiled as he recognized what she was doing.
"Fine, but I'm coming with you. You're still far to weak to do a long-range teleport by yourself."
"Okay! Here we go!" Venus shouted as they disappeared in a flash of light, and a few rose petals were left strewn on the floor.
When she was stronger the scouts would all pay.
