_Part Three: Isis Dreams_

"NO! No no no no NO!!!!! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO _SAY_ IT?!?!?!"

The screams of rage echoed through the darkened room, vibrating off the obsidian walls and ringing in the ears of the two figures kneeling on the floor. The pair winced as the shout assaulted their eardrums and clutched their matching staffs tighter.

"Our apologies, Madam Isis," the pair spoke in the hideously creepy style of saying things simultaneously in the dubbed show. One had a high pitched voice, the other's was slightly lower. "We thought that they would be of use to you . . ."

"Of use to me? OF USE TO ME?!?!?" the figure screamed, flinging her right hand out in a large, angry gesture to the four figures glowing above the pedestals behind the huddled pair. Sailors Ceres, Juno, Pallas, and Vesta each floated above one side of the huge pedestal, their arms folded over their chests, eyes closed as though they were lying in a casket. Above their hearts floated their individual Star Seed in their respective pastel aura.

"They mean NOTHING!" she screamed, and with a sweeping gesture, the four crystals shattered. The bodies of the Asteroid Quartet spasmed as their crystals vanished, and their bodies slowly dissolved into a blizzard of light, revealing the figure lying in the center of the pillar. The white- robed body of the Neo-Queen Serenity floated in the same manner as the Asteroid Senshi, her bare feet pointed toward the speaker. The Silver Crystal, in its true form, blossomed like a flower from her chest.

"But the Silver Crystal, milady," the twins crooned. "Surely it's of use to you?"

The shadowed figure rolled her eyes. "No. The most powerful Sailor Crystal in the galaxy-no, wait, make that the entire UNIVERSE-is of no use to me," she whined in a mockery of her servants. "OF COURSE IT'S OF USE TO ME!!!"

"But, milady, without the strength of the other Sailor Senshi," the twins crooned, "the Silver Crystal loses much of its power."

The woman considered. "True enough," she muttered, and with a wave of her hand, the Silver Crystal shattered into dust. The body of the Queen, subsequently, faded away with nothing more that a twitch in the woman's eyebrow.

Once again, the woman wondered at this power of hers, the power to destroy the most powerful Star Seeds in the universe. She stared at her hands momentarily. _This power I have . . ._

An image flickered in her mind from the depths of her memory. A man in black robes, stretching out his hand, his white face drawn and skeletal, but black eyes shining brightly.

_Lambda power . . ._

"Anyway," Isis continued, tossing her head to dismiss the image, and at the same time sending her long, black, knee-length hair rippling down her back, "you both know that the young one's Sailor Crystal is the only one that will do for our purpose! That Star Seed that possesses the powers of these planets!"

"But, my Lady," the twins purred, "we have the Crystal."

With this, they held out their outside hands to join between them in front of them, palms up. Above their hands, a pink glow appeared and coalesced into a pink version of the Ginzuishou.

Isis rolled her eyes. "You idiots. The power of this crystal only harnesses the power of the Moon. We need the power of the Earth as well! Besides, her Star Seed hasn't united completely with her Crystal, like her idiot mother's has! Without that Star Seed, the mission is UESELESS!"

Her black eyes flashed red, and she slammed the tip of her obsidian staff into the ground, cracking the stone floor. "Do you WANT my mission to fail?!?"

"No, mistress," the pair murmured, dropping their hands and allowing the crystal to dissipate.

"GOOD! Then MOVE!"

"Yes, mistress," they murmured, and vanished.

Isis spun on her heel and stalked back to her throne, a plain black chair covered with sparkling silver and diamonds. She slumped into the black velvet cushion and propped her head in her hand, sighing.

With a flick of her wrist, the staff in her left hand vanished, and she held her palm face up. Staring at the palm, she concentrated, and a swirl of light motes spun into existence, swirling like a tiny galaxy. In a flash of light, the Silver Crystal, whole and glittering like new, appeared in her hand.

_End Part Three_

Ooh, fun. Now it's starting to get more serious, I know, but it won't lose the humorous edge. This'll definitely have some action in it, though,, and I think I have an idea of where I want to go with this. A rewrite of a story I wanted to do before, maybe? Or a prelude of it. Eh, I'll see. I'm rambling again.

Sorry I made this one so short. But my lil bro needs to use the computer, and this is just reminding me to get to work on Crystal Blaze/Silver Legacy. Yes, I think I'm combining those two.

But enough of my rambling. Please review! Even people who have reviewed already. I'd love to hear some more input! Include any suggestions, comments, questions, please!

Until later, minna!
