Maroko in:
REUNION OF GOOD AND EVIL!
(I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman, "Where's the self-help section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose. ~George Carlin)
Maroko sneezed. She sniffled and struggled to keep her eyes open as her English teacher droned on about verbs and past tense. "oh, Bless you.." Maroko sniffled again. "Thank you ma'am." And so, the day dragged on.
Maroko walked home, searching for Aki. "Ahg, she has to be around her some- some- ACHOO!!!" Maroko sneezed again and dropped all her things. "This stinks! I can barely talk with this cold." "Hey Maroko, you okay?" Aki asked. Maroko nodded and got up. "I'm a fine, thanks." "That's a pretty bad cold. Maybe you should have gotten a Flu Shot." "Flu Shot?" Maroko thought for a moment. Flu? Shot? "Well, I don't like the sound of the shot. I'd rather have the flu..." Aki shrugged "Your choice. I'll see you around!" Aki ran off towards her home.
Maroko got home and lied down. "Maroko, I know you're busy and have a lot to think about, but we're trying to blend in here! Don't go to sleep, do your homework!" Maroko rolled over and sneezed. "Oh, you're sick too. The other cats have informed me their humans are ill as well. It could be a trick by Nemesis." "Tora, not everything bad that happens to us is because of Nemesis!"
"Are you sure this Flu Thing will work?" "I'm not sure, it has failed in the past. Oh well, CUT THE FLU PROJECT, IT'S NOT GOING ANYWHERE."
Maroko stopped sneezing and her head cleared up. "Hey! I feel better!" "Homework." "Oh. I mean, umm." "Don't blow our cover Maroko!"
Maroko looked out the window. "Tora, have you noticed the leaves?" "Yes, Earth Trees have their leaves change color and fall off. It is how they prepare for winter." "How do you know that?" "I just do." Tora gazed down threw the window at the street.
Maroko walked into her bedroom and picked the Spirit Conjurer off her bed. She slowly played, trying to remember the notes. Nothing. She tried again and again, playing the small song. She shook the Conjurer. "Why won't Chaos appear? It's the same song I played last night." She put the Conjurer down and lied down on her bed.
"My queen!" Villa called to her mother. "Yes my dear?" "Two of your slaves have arrived begging for forgiveness!" "Yes? Who?" "Hapso and one of her slaves." "Hapso's still alive? I could have sworn one of them killed her." "Should I destroy her?" "No, no. I wish to see them." Villa bowed and left the room. She reentered a few minutes later with the Queen and Dragoness. "So Hapso, you lived. That's. welcoming. But you failed." Hapso turned away from the Nemesis. "If I can remember correctly, you were one of my army before you turned and ran, taking as many monsters, slaves and weapons as you could. Betraying your queen. Then naming yourself a queen." Hapso remained silent. "I've monitored you. You lost slaves at a destructive rate! All leaving and joining the Sailor Scouts. I believe you took with you one very dear to me." Hapso shivered with fear, Dragoness on the other hand, stood firm, considering she had nothing to do but wait. "So Hapso, where is he? Where is my son?"
"So.. What do you know about this Villa character?" Chaos asked Cerberus. "Well, Villa is supposed to be Nemesis's daughter." "Don't say." "You're not listening to me are you?" "No, no, I am. Go on." "Nemesis takes to adopting her clear favorite slaves. As long as they're young. She then raises them, but teaches them to obey her as a slave would." "That sounds like an affective way to discipline children." "You just don't care do you?" "Sure I do." "Well." Chaos was already fast asleep. "He's acting as stuck up as Angel! . Hey, that's it. You love her don't you?" Chaos jumped up and started coughing. "ANGEL!?" "Yeah! It explains it! You act like her, when she's around, you don't take your eyes off of her, and you can't go five minutes without bringing her up!" "That's stupid! I love Maroko." "But Maroko is on Earth, ten years away. Angel is here and now." "That's still stupid." "Who are you trying to convince. me or you?" "YOU!" "Oh, well, you're doing a pretty crappy job of it."
Maroko woke up and yawned. "How long have I been asleep?" She looked out her window and realized it was dark already. "Oh, that's not good." Her clock only read three o'clock. She got up and reached for the Sprit Conjurer but it was gone. "Tora?" The pink cat slept on Chaos's bed. "Tora?" She opened her eyes and licked her shoulder. "Tora!" "What?" Tora looked towards Maroko and her eyes fell on the window. "What the hell?" The cat jumped up and ran out of the room. Maroko followed.
"Hapso, you have one chance. As soon as I think of the slowest way to kill you, you're time is up. As for you. Who are you?" "My name is Dragoness my queen." "You've disobeyed Hapso correct?" "I do not believe so." "Perhaps it would be entertaining to watch her own slave kill her. Hapso, when you are gone, Dragoness will take your place." Hapso gasped.
Tora jumped out the window and Maroko was prepared to follow her when she remembered it wasn't something she couldn't truly do. So, like all good humans, she had to use a door.
"Earth is in danger." "How?" "WHAT DO YOU MEAN HOW? SHOULD IT MATTER? This just proves my point." "How?" "Angel doesn't care that much about Earth either. But as for those on Earth, Nemesis has covered the planet in a think layer of smoke. Her creatures breed in the smoke like bacteria and attack humans. Swallowing them whole." Chaos nodded. "Where's Maroko?" "In just as much danger as any other human. Too bad you can't get to Earth." "Why not?" "Well, you hadn't visited in a few days. After a while, you just can't go."
"I'm stuck here." "Forever." "But. how?" "Angel told King Yamma that you hadn't visited Earth for a while. She assumed you had just given up. So he cut off my power. I can't do much of anything anymore." "But I haven't been called. The whole point of the Spirit Conjurer is to have Maroko call me when there is danger." "The Spirit Conjurer no longer works. That is why you can't be called." Chaos stared at the ground. "What can I do?" "Nothing. Unless you would like to take it up with King Enma, but unless he changes his mind, it's up to Earth's Sailor Scouts to protect themselves from Hapso's wraith."
Maroko coughed. Outside the air was thicker then well, ever before. "Tora? Where are you?" The cat jumped onto her shoulder. "Tora, why is it like this?" "Nemesis." "This time I believe you. We better find the other scouts." Tora nodded and set off down the clouded street. Maroko followed as best she could.
Maroko, after an hour of searching, collapsed on the Tsukino's front porch. Ikuko Tsukino opened the door. "Oh, Hello Maroko. Are you alright?" Maroko nodded. "Just out of shape. Are Usagi, Chibi Usa or Bata here?" "No, I'm afraid they all went out to your house a bit earlier." "Okay. Thank you." Maroko ran off quickly.
She had lost sight of Tora, and now stood alone. Everything around her was cloudy, and it all looked the same. Thunder rumbled and rain fell in buckets. Maroko cried with fear. "MAROKO! HEAD BACK TO THE HOUSE!" Tora yelled. "I can barely move. the wind is so strong." "Don't give up Maroko! You have to get home!" Maroko nodded and struggled threw the storm, but she found her way to her building and closed the door behind her. She panted and smiled. "I did it. Tora?" But Tora was no longer on her shoulder. Tora had disappeared. "Tora!" Maroko looked out the window and panicked. Tora had run off during the storm, she was out there, alone cold and helpless, and Maroko was inside, lost in her grief.
FIN!
