Chapter Thirteen.
Haruka had wandered into the garage in hopes of being alone to sort out her feelings. She had been in there for only a few minutes when a hand lightly tapped her shoulder. Surprised she spun around and came face to face with the person that she was hoping to avoid.
" Haruka, can we talk please ? "
" I don't want to talk to you Rubellite." She said. " Leave me alone."
" We need to talk Haruka."
" And what if I don't want to ? What then ? " Haruka demanded. " Will you kill me again like the last time ? "
" Would you be willing to at least listen then ?"
" You have thirty seconds . "
" That's not long enough."
" Twenty five seconds."
" When did you become so cruel and heartless."
" About the time that my life was cut unexpectedly short." She snapped. " Fifteen seconds."
" I'm not going to waste my breath . " Rubellite snapped right back before he stormed out of the garage.
He disappeared before he could get to the door. Haruka disappeared before she realized what had just happened.
' This is ridiculously easy '

" Hello Serena ." A voice purred.
Serena and Darien stopped their conversation and turned to face the speaker. Her beauty was almost blinding. Her shoulder length , black wavy hair had streaks of varied shades of green . Her catlike peridot eyes had an evil air to them. Medium height with a slim figure made her appear stunning.
" Or should I say Sailor Moon . "
" Who are you ? " Serena demanded.
" Your mother is dying to see you Princess. Maybe you should go see her ? "
" Who are you ? " Darien repeated for Serena , who was too pale to speak.
" Now isn't that the million dollar question . " evil grin
~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~
" Something's wrong . " Leta said as she pulled away from Nephrite.
" What ? "
" I don't know but ..."
" But . " He prompted.
" We should go downstairs and make sure that everyone's alright." Leta replied getting out of bed and heading to the door.
Nephrite led her down the stairs and in to the living room. He got there just in time to see Serena and Darien disappear. The woman that was with them started to laugh. Nephrite reacted before Leta left the stairs. He stormed into the living room and confronted her.
" Who the hell are you and what did you just do ? "
" What's it to yah ? "
" Bring them back."
" I don't think so . Ta ta . " Leta watched as the woman waved at Nephrite and he disappeared.
" I saw that ! " Leta shouted angrily.
The woman paled and turned around. " Oh did you now miss ex-Sailor Jupiter. Well there goes my surprise. "
" Cut the crap . Where did you take them ?"
" Not a chance lurch . "
Angry Leta stepped forward and punched the woman right in the nose.
" Tell me where they are or you are as good as dead. " Leta threatened.
" You stupid bitch ! You're going to regret that . "
" Last chance."
" I'll do better than tell you , I'll take you to them ." She screamed as she made both Leta and herself disappear.
They reappeared in the middle of a large , dimly lit room.
" Welcome Princess . Are you ready to die ? "
Chapter Fourteen.
" It'll be alright Queen Serenity . " Rei smiled. " She won't get very far . They'll stop her and we'll be out of here before you know it . "
" I'm sure you're right Rei, but , " The Queen sighed. " I can't help worrying . "
" Serena's tougher than she looks . " Amy said.
Just then Zoicite appeared in the cage next to Amy , Michiru and Cassorite soon followed between Amy and Taiki. Setsuna and Maganite were next , then Corundum , Hotaru and Renee. Jadeite and Kunzite , Rubellite and Haruka followed them , then Serena , Darien and Nephrite.
" Hello everyone . " Corundum said cheerfully . " Sorry to drop in like this. "
" Cor ? " Hotaru groaned. " Please be quiet . "
" Okay . " He shrugged.
" You were saying girls ? " Queen Serenity sighed.
" He he he . Well we can't be right all the time . " Amy said.
" Where are Kunzite , Jadeite and Leta ?" Mina asked.
" We're here . " The two generals sighed.
" And that bitch that punched me is with my master . Leta , I believe." A voice spoke. " Isn't that what you called her Serena? A bitch ? or was it a slut ? I think it was both."
" You'll never get away with this ! " Rei screamed. " We'll stop you ! "
" And how are you going to do that ? You're all caged up . "
" Why you ! " Rei tried to get out of her cage.
" Face it little girl , you can't win. I have your wands and no one can save you. " She cackled. " And don't you even think of throwing one of those stupid roses at me Princey boy, you won't live long enough to regret it. "
" Don't underestimate the Sailor Scouts whoever you are . Many others have tried and failed." Seiya declared.
" They were all amateurs and very weak. None of your powers can stop us , not a single one. We will succeed and it is you that will fail ."
" Now enough of this nonsense, it's time to go . " The woman snapped her fingers and they all were transported into the same room as Leta.
" My Lord , they're all here . Let the games begin . "
Chapter Fifteen.
" I'm waiting for your answer Princess . Are you ready to die ? "
" Go to hell . " Leta spat.
" After you my dear. "
" Who are you ? "
" Lord Callisto of Callisto . "
" Well that's original . " Leta muttered before speaking louder. " So you're the one behind all the commotion . What a joke . "
" Perhaps you'd like to see just how serious I am . ' He gestured behind her.
Leta turned and gasped. All of her friends were there with the generals, Queen Serenity and two people she didn't recognize. They were all in chains with their arms handcuffed behind their backs. She noticed that everyone but Mina and Kunzite , Amy and Zoicite , Rei and Jadeite and Rubellite and Haruka had made up .
Callisto walked up behind Leta and grabbed her arms. " Perhaps now you'd agree that this is no joke. "
" Get your hands off me or else. "
" Or else what ? " He taunted. When he received no response he continued. " I didn't think so . Now, I have a question to ask you . Join me , and together you and I will rule the universe as King and Queen . "
" Never . "
" I was hoping that you'd say that. " He chuckled. " Arlia , why don't you show her a little taste of your power . "
The woman nodded . " With pleasure sir . Say good-bye to your friends Princess. One at a time ? "
" Of course . "
Arlia grabbed the closest one to her , which just happened to be Amy, and blasted her with dark energy. Amy screamed and collapsed . Zoicite went to her side immediately and he too was blasted. He fell down beside Amy and they were both blasted again.
Leta tried to move but Callisto put a sword to her throat . Yanking a fist-full of her hair he held her in place. " It gets better."
" I'm sure . " Leta growled.
" They're dying because of you . "He smirked. " Finish them Arlia. "
Arlia nodded and blasted the Starlights down , the rest of the Scouts soon followed along with the generals. None of them could use any attacks because they couldn't transform . Mina and Haruka both tried to stand back up, Arlia attempted to blast them but Rubellite and Kunzite took the blasts for them . Once they fell to the ground a second time Haruka and Mina were blasted.
" That's enough for now Arlia. " Callisto commanded. " Well Princess , what so you have to say now ? "
" Why don't you go back to whatever sewer you crawled out of , you bastard. " Leta swore. " Let them go . I'll never be your queen."
Callisto looked and Leta and almost collapsed in fear. She was glowing. A bright green aura was around her , the sign of Jupiter blazed on her forehead and her emerald eyes glittered with rage. He paled but kept his grip.
" I said let them go . " Leta repeated.
" Not on your life. "
Leta could feel her friends pain . They were all on the verge of passing out because of the pain and never waking up. Arlia had to be stopped .
" Blast them Arlia . "
Arlia smirked as she did as she was told. Screams of pain echoed in the room . Barely able to move Zoicite reached into his jacket and pulled out Amy's book. He handed it to her just before he died.
Leta struggled against Calllisto's grasp, unfortunately his grip just tightened and he edged his sword closer to her throat. The green aura grew bigger and brighter.
Zeus and Clara looked up at their daughter .
Turning to Serenity Clara spoke. " We have to do something . "
" I know Clara , but what can we do . " Serenity frowned. " We're too old to fight . "
Clara looked desperately at her husband. He nodded and took off his crown . Quickly Clara did the same. In unison they removed the largest gem on their crowns. Clara handed hers over to Zeus and he carefully fused them into one stone. When the two halves were whole , a gold chain appeared attached to it. A blinding light formed around the necklace.
Just as the necklace appeared Arlia blasted all of the royalty with enough dark energy to nearly kill them.
Callisto looked at the light and gasped as he released Leta . " The emerald crystal ! "
Releasing Leta was his fatal mistake. He was attacked unmercifully by her until he hit the ground. The crystal glowed even brighter before it disappeared.
" Where did it go ? " Callisto demanded.
" Relax Callisto , it didn't go far. " Leta said from behind him.
He turned around and saw the necklace around Leta's neck. Angry , he reached out an wrapped his hands around her throat and began to strangle her. Leta tried desperately to stop him , she kicked, punched and dug her nails into his hands. But nothing worked.
Meanwhile , Arlia continued to blast the Sailor Scouts with dark energy. The pained screams filled the room and Arlia's wicked laughter joined in.
" Leta . " Serena whispered. " Help us. "
" She won't be able to Serena . " Callisto assured her. " No one can help you . "
" Wanna bet . " Leta grit out . Gathering all of her strength she pulled his hands off her neck and pushed him away.
" Jupiter emerald power ! Make up ! "
Haruka had wandered into the garage in hopes of being alone to sort out her feelings. She had been in there for only a few minutes when a hand lightly tapped her shoulder. Surprised she spun around and came face to face with the person that she was hoping to avoid.
" Haruka, can we talk please ? "
" I don't want to talk to you Rubellite." She said. " Leave me alone."
" We need to talk Haruka."
" And what if I don't want to ? What then ? " Haruka demanded. " Will you kill me again like the last time ? "
" Would you be willing to at least listen then ?"
" You have thirty seconds . "
" That's not long enough."
" Twenty five seconds."
