Act 4: Attack Mars!

Darien sat down drinking his coffee when a young man sat down across him at his table. Darien looked at him and something about him looked familiar. They sat in silence until he broke it. He told him that his name was Jonathon and that he was Tiffany's friend. It hit Darien that he was the Guardian of the Sun Princess. Darien asked what he wanted to acquire about. Jonathon wanted to talk about Black Maiden. It has come to his attention there was more to her that meets the eye. There seems to be two sides of her. She wants to destroy the Sailor Scouts, but at the same time she prevents her plan to succeed.

Black Maiden sat in front of her mirror and she took a good look at herself. She always noticed her locket she wore. Every time she touched it she remembered what her mission was, to destroy the ones who hurt her. She opened the locket and she saw the picture of Jason and she was reminded what had happened to him. She looked down at the bracelet that was returned to her. The moment she feels guilty about everything, madness strikes her and everything is forgotten. She knows who she is, the Black Maiden. She noticed her hair. She screamed and she threw the mirror on the floor. The mirror cracked when it hit the floor. She picked up the cracked mirror and looked at herself. Mirrors never lie, they show the real you. A tear flowed down her cheek, but she wiped it away. Mars will pay for what she had done to her.

Jack went to see Queen Metallia. Queen Metallia told him that she had reassigned him to another mission more important that keeping an eye on the Princess. She wasn't too worried about the Princess at this moment. She needed this rare stone that will free her from this dimension. He would find it on Earth, in the Illusion Castle.

"Illusion castle?" asked Jack.

"Yes! You will find it deep in the forest of Tokyo. It is hidden well and it is has lots of traps."

"But there is no forest in Tokyo."

"Illusion, what does it mean? Something you can't see. You will find it and I tell to be aware of your surroundings, because you do not know what to expect on this mission. You must go tonight."

"Isn't the Illusion Castle where the Prince of Earth lived or grew up? Won't he come after me?"

"He doesn't remember anything about it, but he will have a feeling that some one is disturbing his home and he can track you down. So be on your guard."

"Yes my Queen, I will find it for you."

Black Maiden heard a knock on the door. The door creaked open. She thought it was Jack, but as the turned to see it was some one she had not seen before.

"Who are you?"

"My name is Mark."

"What is the meaning of this intrusion?"

"Don't be so offensive. I have come to hear of your next plan."

"What is it to you?"

"I am to watch over you."

"Where is Jack?"

"On a mission."

"I do not trust you."

"It is so typical for no one to trust the Queen's son."

"Impossible."

"Maybe, but it is so."

"Then is a surprise she would let you near me. So Jack has been resigned and you are taking his job?"

"Yes!"

"Are you sure that job isn't to annoy me?"

"Very funny. So what's this plan of yours?"

"I am going to attack Mars. You came to tell me what you wanted and I gave you an answer to your question and now you may leave me."

"Leave you all alone with no one here?"

"Yes!"

"You'll be so lonely."

"I can't be any lonelier than I am already."

"My job was to watch over you."

"I can take care of myself! I don't need a big boy like you to save little scared me!"

"One day you will be begging me to help you and we will see who can take care of themselves."

"Yeah right, like that will happen in your dreams."

"Well see. I'll leave you for now, but I'll be back."

He left the room slamming the door behind him. He is different than most guys she knew. He is the first one she really snubbed. He is that kind of type who thinks women need them to protect them, but women can take care of themselves.

Where should she attack Mars? Attacking her at the temple won't work she would have the advantage. She will attack her on the way home from school where she would last expect it.

She fell on to the bed and she noticed her bracelet on the floor. It reminds her of some one, but whom? It's so pretty with its silver chain with these beautiful carved charms. She remembered giving it to some one. She picked it up and looked at it very closely. Her head started to hurt when she touched the bracelet.

"Oh, my head it hurts so much. Every time I try to remember something that happened in my life my heads hurts. What is wrong with me?"

She looked at the clock and it was three. Raye should be coming home from school now. She got up to put her plan in tack, but she couldn't go until she found Jack. She checked in his room to find him looking for something.

"Where are they? I can't find them anywhere?"

"What are you looking for?"

"Princess, what are you doing here?"

"I came to see you."

"You shouldn't be here."

"Why not? What mission has the Queen sent you on?"

"I have to go to Tokyo forest to find a stone and the Queen doesn't want me to distract you."

"Is that why Mark is bothering me?"

"I had no plan of him taking my place, and I promise you he won't."

Jack was looking around for something. She noticed a pair of sun glasses on the floor and she picked them up. Jack noticed she had found the thing he was looking for. He tried to grab for them, but she wouldn't let him have them. Jack got irritated. He didn't have time to play games with her. Black Maiden wanted to know why he needed sun glasses when the sun is not even out. Jack hated the Sun and Black Maiden was in shock she was from the Sun. He didn't mean it that way the light just bothered him. That would explain why he has ice cold lips.

"I wish you luck. You will be back won't you? I need you."

"Oh, Irene…

"What did you call me? I have heard that name before."

"I don't know why I said it."

"You said it for some reason. Every time I try to figure out who I am, you know what I mean by that, my headaches."

"I know it is our Queen's will. It is so you will not turn good once again."

"I think one day our destinies will collide, Jack."

"I must be going."

"Good bye."

As she was about to leave the room she just couldn't help running into his arms and kissing him. As they kissed she felt something. He was so caring than most guys were. She didn't think he would ever hurt her. It was the moment that they were waited for a long time. She pushed him away it was the only way for them to stop. She blew him a kiss and she disappeared.

Raye was walking home when a yellow rose cut her on the right cheek. It started to bleed. Raye touched her wound and she saw a vision something from the past. She was on the Moon and she could see from afar the Sun burning like it never had. Evil was approaching and the past was slowly changing and she felt it. Something had changed in the atmosphere. Black Maiden appeared dropping from the sky. She landed on her two feet. She faced Raye.

"I hope it leaves a scar so you will remember me."

"Evil spirit begun."

Raye threw a scroll at Black Maiden. It came flying towards her and when it hit her it went up in flames.

"How did that happen? My attacks never fail."

"Didn't you know that an heir of the Sun has a hot touch? You have to do better than that."

"Mars power make-up."

She transformed into Sailor Mars and she called upon her power.

"Mars Volcano Fire Erupt!"

This time Black Maiden was ready for the fire. She put up an invisible shield to prevent the fire from hitting her.

"I thought that you would be more of a challenge than Tuxedo Mask."

"You will get a challenge alright you crazy person."

"I am normally strange, ingeniously dangerous, seriously joking, simply confusing, spastically calm. So call me crazy!"

"You quote poems so poetically. I can't believe some one like you would like poems like me."

"Stop trying to be nice. I'm not falling for it. Take this, Sun shock rum attack."

It hit the pole and bounced towards Mars, but some one came and blocked her throw.

"Stop this right now Black Maiden," Tuxedo Mask yelled.

"He grins at me through a white mask, insipid smile glued to a frozen face, he fights to perform his given task, but all that come out is a void gaze, still I go on with false ways, because I cannot bear to remember, my hate is from the dying sun. I can't break myself to break free of the illusion they let me perceive. I wait but to see what will be pretending to wait for what's not to come."

"Mars your cut. Are you ok?"

"Yeah, I'm fine."

"Don't listen to him Mars. He always makes you think he cares, but he doesn't. Don't you remember you had a crush on him and wanted a relationship with him, but he kept pulling you along never telling you he was thinking of another girl? He dumps you for that klutz, Serenity. Endymion you should keep you mouth shut. It has just brought pain to every girl you meet. Your voice is like a trance towards girls. They think that you are in love with them and that they are in love with you. As they get deeper into your heart they realize that your heart belongs to one, the one who seems to shock them with her clumsiness, and crying. As any girl has realize by now that you two were meant to be even though you are two different kinds of people. Love is stronger than any thing, but it seems like not every body gets it. So I tell you that you should hold on to that because you will not ever find it again. Where did that part come from about love?"

"You hate us so dearly, don't you?"

"Mars, hate does not describe my feeling towards any one. It seems that I have been talking too much and not fighting. That's enough with this chat."

Tuxedo Mask sensed something.

"What is it Tuxedo Mask?"

"I don't know, but I have a bad feeling."

"What does he sense? Do you think he senses that Jack in trying to find that stone in the forest?" Black Maiden thought to her self. She could not let him figure out what Jack is up to.

"That feeling must be because you know that you're going to die. Sun Wand Elimination."

She held the wand with both of her hand in front of her self and the power of the Sun was powering up. As it was about to fire something bit her in the hand. She dropped the wand on the floor and you could hear the big thump as it hit the ground.

"Ouch! What was that? Guardian, what are you doing?" She said as she looked up to see him.

"Stop this. You know you won't kill them or you would have destroyed them awhile ago."

"How would you know? How is it you are human? Until you can answer my questions I will never listen to you. I am sick of hearing you lecture me like Tuxedo Mask. You two are such a like. No wonder I can't have the feelings that you want me to have towards you. You remind me so much of him and when I think of that it hurts me inside. That is why I'm so blinded by hate. Ouch! My head it hurts. Not again I must go. I cannot take it. You got lucky today Mars."

She disappeared disappointed on not doing her desired task.

"What were you doing Guardian?" Asked Mars.

"The more you make her let out her feeling the faster she will turn good. The enemy is using her anger that she kept inside of her so long. So she has to let it all out See you soon."

He disappeared and Tuxedo Mask was about to leave as well because of the feeling he could not shake.

"Are you leaving?"

"Yes, I have to go Mars. I hope that cut heals."

"Alright Tuxedo Mask. Thanks for helping me!" Said Mars.

"I want you know that I do care about you. Don't listen to what she said about me not caring."

"I know you do Tuxedo Mask."

It was getting on her nerves with the head pains she gets. She would not let them escape next time. She hoped Jack would watch his back. Tuxedo Mask might follow him.

"I hope you can hear me Jack. Be careful."
