A Time of Darkness

By: Eternal Senshi

Chapter 9: The Plan

In her sleep Usagi was changing her aura rapidly. Serenity was leaving her body as love and happiness began to take over. Usagi had transformed back into the loveable, carefree girl that she was; Wiseman's influence was gone at last.

**************

The next morning Usagi felt strange, VERY strange. She felt more pure and a little more powerful. She figured it out in two mins: The evil Serenity had left her body completly when she fell for Diamond. Usagi smiled as she thought about the white haired man with the violet eyes. She never dreamed that she would fall for Diamond, but here she was head over heels for him *Oh well* she thought happily. Her thoughts reverted back to her past relationship with Mamoru. *He never did pay much attention to me, Mamoru would always silence me with a kiss

which I thought was good, but now I know that it was to get me to shut up.* she thought sadly. A couple of tears made their way down her pale face and she wiped them away in frustration.

"I need to stop thinking about that onore," she whispered.

Usagi began to brush her long golden hair and made her black dress appear on her body. Usagi wrinkled her nose at the outfit, but knew if she changed it Wiseman will grow suspecious. The door opened causing her to jump slightly. It was Diamond.

"Usagi?" he asked.

"Hm?" she answered.

"Wiseman wishes to see you," he said with a cold note to his voice.

Usagi felt a pang in her heart at his words. She broke the trust that Diamond had had in Wiseman, but she knew it was for the better. If she had not told him, Diamond and Safire would have died a horrible death.

"Be back, love," she said and vanished.

***********

Usagi appeared a yard away from Wiseman. She was REALLY nervous. *What if he notices that I am no longer evil?* she asked herself. Yet there was nothing she could do. Usagi forced her face to become as cold as possible and walked up to the ruler of darkness.

"You wanted to see me, Wiseman?" Usagi asked in an empty voice.

Wiseman turned to face his lovely puppet and chuckled darkly.

"Yes, Serenity. Tomorrow is the day we kill those weak brothers and the Senshi," he said.

Usagi's eyes widened, but then she regained her composure. *No, he can't* she thought scared.

" At last we shall be rid of them, master," she said.

Wiseman nodded. " Do you have the Rabbit's Silver Imperium Crystal?" he asked.

"Yes, I do," Usagi replied and showed him the crystal that hung on her waist. Usagi could feel Wiseman's hunger for power and it scared her. She was afraid that Wiseman might take away the crystal, but forced herself not to flinch. He did not take it.

"I cannot activate the crystal's powers of course," he said curtly.

Usagin sighed mentally. *That was a close one* she thought.

" I want you to prepare yourself for the ultimate attack on them and the Senshi!" he ordered.

Usagi bowed and then vanished agin.

*****************

Usagi reappered back in her room where Diamond was pacing around the room. He had a look of worry in his features which caused Usagi's heart to ache. She hated seeing him like that and it was all her fault. Diamond looked up and broke into a smile.

"Usagi!" he said and ran over to her. "What did he say?"

"He said that tomorrow he will kill you and the Senshi!" she revealed.

Diamond's violet eyes widened and he whirled around in surprise. "What? Tomorrow? But we're not ready!" he exclaimed.

Usagi looked at him with gleaming eyes that meant that she had an idea. "I will get my friend's help," she said.

"Really?" Diamond asked skeptically. "Are you sure Wiseman won't find out?"

"Yeah, I'll go during the night and conceal my aura. Then I'll ask them for help. He won't know a thing."

Diamond smiled at her and pulled her for a sweet kiss, but his mind had some doubts *What is she doesn't make it out alive? What is the Senshi don't trust her and leave us on our own? That spells death for both my brother and I!*
