-[DECiET]-

"Mamoru! What do you think you're doing bring us all the way up here?" Minako cried looking around frantically. What was with him? Why did he look so grave? She brought a hand to her head and took in a deep breath. She and Mamoru were a good twenty feet away, enough time to attack if he did anything perilous. Minako made a sound of disbelief. This is Mamoru she was talking about! Mamoru, sweet Mamoru, who could never harm a fly. So why does he look so damn lethal? And how did he manage to teleport themselves onto the roof of the Tokyo Tower? Thousands of questions scurried through her mind as she stood there trying to look through Mamoru's deceitful grin and dark eyes.

"Because dear Senshi... I need something from you." He said still grinning and taking a step forward with his hand extended.

"W-Well, whatever it is, Mamo-Chan, I'm sure Usagi can do it for you." Minako said quickly biting her lower lip. She glanced down at Mamoru's hand shaking her head. She knew better than to question him about what it was that he wanted, it'd come up eventually. Instead she asked, "what's happened to you? Are you sick?"

All he did was chuckle and cross his arms. "No Minako, I'm not sick." He sighed as if bored and looked to the sky. "What I want is precious to Usagi, she would never give it to me, especially if I asked her like this, now would she?" He asked looking down at his dark black jeans and tight black muscle shirt. Finally, he looked up at Minako's revolted expression. "I need that crystal and you are to give it to me."

At that Minako stiffened her whole body. She grabbed at her magical pen, which she would later use if things got too out of hand. She scoffed, "What's wrong with you?" She cried sternly. "You're not you. We need to get you out of here; we need to get you to a hospital. But most importantly, you are NOT taking Usagi's crystal."

"Is that what you think, Minako?" He asked softly tilting his head. "Well, I beg to differ!" he cried and thrusted his fist in the air. In a quick and smooth motion he threw his hand forward releasing a small black ball of energy at the girl.

Minako cried trying to hold her ground and throwing her arms in front of herself as a shield but not even that could maintain her from flying a couple of feet back. Slowly and trembling she managed to bring herself to her feet. She glared at him while throwing her pen in the air and yelling, "Venus Power...MAKE-UP!" While time froze tiny golden hearts rapidly spun around Minako's translucent body as she twisted and turned. Parts of her battle suit clasped on; white gloves, a cobalt bow, an untainted white body suit, orange heels, an orange mini skirt, collar and choker, and finally her golden tiara. Her eyes glittered as she posed quickly. She grinned placing her hands on her hips.

To her, like the other senshi, transforming felt so good, it felt just right, so feeling giddy was only natural to her. She shook her head quickly and pointed a gloved finger at Mamoru. "Alright, you asked for it!" She cried. She swiftly whipped her hand into the air, "Venus love me... CHAIN!" Sailor Venus yelled angrily as a chain of gold hearts made a beeline for Mamoru. Mamoru chuckled and just shook his head hitting his whole arm against the chain which did not harm him at all. The chain fell to the ground right after the hit and vanished. Furrowing her eyebrows Venus started panicking. If he could resist the chain, he could resist almost any of her attacks... Was energy any different? She pondered to herself and took a deep breath.

"Sailor Brat, give it up already. Now we can do this the easy way, or the hard way. Don't do something you'll regret later on, my dear." He grinned and crossed his arms. "What do you have in store for me now?"

Venus threw another hand into the air touching a transparent golden moon. It burst into bubbles as she opened her hand and pointed the finger at Mamoru. "Crescent Beam...SHOWER!" She yelled watching a long line of orange energy zoom right at Mamoru's chest. He cried out shielding his eyes from the intense blast. Venus sighed and wiped her forehead carefully. Dust whipped around her as she took a step forward very cautiously. She wasn't quite sure if Mamoru was knocked out or even dead. Bringing a hand to her mouth she realized what she had done. She killed Mamo-Chan. Usagi's Mamo- Chan. What is she going to say to her? Minako was a murderer.

But a shadow came towards her through the dust haze. It was Mamoru's. She wasn't sure if she wanted to laugh, cry or throw another attack at him. But before she could do anything a large vine wrapped around her tightly. She groaned as it tightened around her whole body not enabling her to breath. There wasn't much she could do, her arms were held securely against her body.

In front of her Mamoru, who had already found his way out of the smoke chuckled. He sighed deeply and shook his head. "Tsk tsk... and what did I say about you doing something that you will regret later on? Honestly, you girls have no common sense at all, and there's always a price to pay for that." He smirked. "Now, while you're just hanging there I might just tell you what I need for you to do."

Venus growled. "I already KNOW what you want me to do." She spitted out. "You want me to steal Usagi's crystal. But there's no way in hell you can make me do that!" She screamed trying to struggle from the vine's durable grip.

"You wanna bet?" She asked slyly walking over to her. Venus gasped trying her hardest to get out. She watched him, helplessly, come closer and closer to her. Four feet... a foot... an inch... Mamoru lightly put his fore and middle finger in the center of Venus' forehead, where her orange jewel laid peacefully in her tiara. Suddenly she felt a shift of energy flow through her body, it no longer felt light but really, really heavy. She whimpered, tears streaming down her face as she tried to block out Mamoru's evil laughter and the pain burning deep inside her. This new power didn't feel right, she could feel her cosmological power trying to take over the dark, like the cells fighting off other cells to keep one healthy. Except the good cell doesn't stand a chance. Finally, the alter was done and the horrendous vine vanished letting her drop to her knees.

And then she felt it. All of it rushed through her veins like a drug. But better. She placed her hands on the ground smiling. She felt so strong and invincible; like she could do anything she wanted. Chuckling softly she noticed a change in her voice, it was much lower than normally but she shrugged it off. She had a sudden urge to throw or break something, anything. But she knew better, she then realized she could handle this new power. Taking a deep breath she stood up and smiled at Mamoru. And then there was another feeling. A sexual desire.

"Was this what you wanted to give me?" Venus asked huskily brushing a strand of golden hair out of her eyes. Biting her lip she took a step closer and drew a line on Mamoru's chest with her finger.

Grinning he nodded. "Yes my dear." He said softly wrapping an arm around her waist.

Venus giggled wrapping her own arms around his neck. She leaned up and licked his cheek. "Thank you."

Mamoru nodded. "But, there is one small favor I need to ask of you, unless you want me to take away this new energy, do you not?"

Venus's eyes widened, "of course not! Please... master, don't take it away from me." She said softly clutching his shirt. "Not now..."

He chuckled softly bringing her head closer to his chest. "Baby, I need for you to go get me Sailor Moon's crystal." He said sternly. "Now..."

Venus looked up at him with understanding. "Of course," was all she said as she took a step back and de-transformed back into her normal persona. Her blue eyes had changed into the same deep black as Mamoru's. Her transformation pen had vanished and was replaced by the small tattoo on her wrist. It was a picture of an arrow.

Mamoru grabbed her hand. "Use it if she doesn't surrender. But it should be easy for you, you know more about the crystal than I. You can persuade her to give it to you, it will be simple."

Giggling Minako tossed her hair behind her shoulder. "Oh, trust me on this one, I can do it."

"Good, I'll be waiting."
