In But a Dream

A Sailormoon-Johnny the Homicidal Maniac Crossover Fanfic

Chapter 17~ MY KNEE.... IT SWELLS...

She ran down the hall. The others now on the same mission as Hotaru

ran awkwardly around the long corridor, off into other rooms and more

cunjoining halls and some seemed to have ventured upstairs to one of

the upper levels and so forth.

Hotaru revelled in the insanity but all the same it felt wonderful

that she seemed to be doing something for the greater good of

humanity!

She kept on running, searching for the next door. Tears streaming,

her smile glinting. Her boot caught onto something and she fell onto

the floor, sliding slightly and gazing around to find the object that

had wasted precious time that she could have used to open another

door and set a worthless soul free to roam around the deep vortexs of

the massive underground tomb as a blithering turkey bafoon type

thingy.

She stared down at it while she got to her feet. She picked up the

pink locket, the door in front of her opened at that exact moment,

revealing a sweltering hot room, making Hotaru sweat slightly.

Her bloody gloves held the pink locket, the heart crystal shining

brightly in the middle.

"Chibi-Usa Chan?"

She turned her glance towards the room. Soggy cookies on a beaten

floor. A small girl wrapped in red ribbons, the others tying her to

brackets in the wall.

A drop of water fell from the ceiling as the girl got up and ran

towards it, but it was just out of her reach. She fell backwards onto

the floor and got up again, noticing that it had fallen onto the

soaked cookies. She pulled tirelessly on the ribbons that held her in

place. She wanted them, badly. But she couldn't. She fell back into

the shadows of the room and sat down, rocking her frail body back and

forth, back and forth.

"Moon... cosmic... power... makeup..." Her tiny voice was small and

soft as she tried hard to get the words out in her full force. But no

water and no food can do that to your vocals. But she had to try

again. She gathered all of her strength but it came out once more as

a harsh whisper.

"Moon... cosmic... power... makeup..."

"Chibi... Usa...?" Hotaru gazed at the girl rocking back and forth,

mustering all of her power to get out those four simple words... but

they still came out petite and fragile.

The pink locket slipped from Hotarus hands and fell, slowly, as if it

were impending doom, to the sunken floor. The plastic broke into

fragmented shards. The crystal slid along the corridor. One of the

turkeys kicked it and it zoomed away into the shadows.

The small girl still rocked.

The blood was immaculately placed on Hotarus senshi gloves, as it

drooped to the floor and swelled there. The plastic was dowsed in the

blood, and it swooned there on the frozen floor.

"Chibi-Usa... CHAN!" Hotaru scremed the last word as she fell to the

bloody floor, cutting her knee on a plastic shard.

Hotaru reached out for the girl rocking back and forth in the hot

room, not noticing anything around. AT ALL!

The screams the yells, the patter of feet upstairs. Doors opening and

closing and Hotaru staring there at the girl rocking, rocking,

rocking...

A door opened. Johnny ran through the hall, the turkeys screamed as

they ran out of the way of Nny's swooping blades. The blood flowing

behind him and staining his coat tails. A body split in half and

screams and cries emmited from the on lookers as they ran to save

their lives, looking for the door to the stairs, to the outside, to

their dooms... eventually... anyways...

His blades came swooping again and sliced two more people vertically

in half. His boots hit the fallen parts of bodies as he ran and a

squelching sound emmited from beneath them, as the blood spurted.

Hotaru was now standing, outside the door, the girl...

Johnny stopped in his tracks.

Hotaru stared at the dead bodies heaped on the floor, and then to

Johnny. Her eyes were blank orbs of light. She bowed to Johnny who

stared bleakly at her. Hotarus hair fell in front of her face as her

back bent. A bow to her master.

Johnny's eyes widened as he began to understand her random bow, her

blank eyes, and her silence. A sneer gleamed across his hollowed face

and his hands came together, rubbing back and forth. He ran gleefully

up the stairs, humming along the way. His snide laughter bellowed

through the halls full of the dead bodies of his captives that would

have been set free, but, who would have met the same fate anyway.

"HAHAHAHAHA! SHE'S MINE! SHE'S MINE! SHE'S AT MY BECK AND CALL... oh

Hotaru, how you make me SOOOOO happy. HEHEHEHE!" He skipped jolilly

through the halls.

...ALL AROUND THE MULBERRY BUSH...

... THE MONKEY CHASED THE WEASEL...

... THE MONKEY THOUGHT IT WAS ALL IN FUN....

... HAHAHAHA...

... POP GOES THE WEASEL...

"!!!!!ICE CREAM TACO!!!!!!"

Johnny ran outside his door. The ice cream truck streamed by as

little kids came running out of their houses, pockets clanging with

money. But the truck was too fast. The fat kids tired easily, and the

thin ones withered in the heat as the bright, singing truck rode by.

JOHNNY WANTED ICE CREAM!

He ran after it, screaming " ICE CREAM GUY! HEY, ICE CREAM GUY! SLAVE

TO THE ICE CREAM UNDERWORLD!"

The truck lurched to a stop, and the screen rolled up to reveal a

thin, weasely looking 20 year old, zits flowing in uneven and

unpatterned all over his face.

"What do you want?" He asked the beaming Johnny in a unenthusiastic

voice.

"Ice cream taco!" Exclaimed 'Nny in a hyper-reactive YAY! kinda

voice.

"Aren't you a bit OLD for this? I mean, come on, I don't get paid to

hand out old faggots icy treats..." the ice cream boy stared dully at

Nny, whos glittery smile had now become a snarl.

YOINK!

Johnny grabbed the boy by the white collar and dragged him up the

road, shoving him in the house, then running back to get his ice

cream taco.
