Act 5: Against their Equals

"What was that I heard? It sounded like the Princess. Something isn't right. I feel a change."

Near by Tuxedo Mask being pulled by the Earth in the right direction. He felt something was being disturbed that belonged to him. He kept going looking for an answer.

Black Maiden looked everywhere for her cat and calling his name everywhere she looked. She heard a meow and she called to him. Then she started to wonder where Slayer was. She had not seen him for a while. She started to call to him as well. She followed the noises she heard into a dark hallway. She got deeper into the hallway until she could not see any thing. As she touched the wall the hall way lighted up. She headed around the corner to spot Mark holding her cat.

"What are you doing with my cat?"

"I just wanted to feed him."

"I can do that on my own. Ouch."

"What's wrong? Are you ok?"

"I think so. My head just hurts."

"You should go see the doctor."

"I will be alright after I find Slayer."

"Who is Slayer?"

"Jack's pet."

"I didn't know he had a pet. I can't find him anywhere. He has to be here at this time. Where can he be? Oh!"

She held her head up with my right hand. Mark insisted once again to go see the doctor. She would not budge. She started to feel dizzy and she collapsed. Apollo jumped out of Mark's arms. Mark picked her up and took her to the doctor. The doctor examined her and he knew very well it was. Her heart and head were in conflict. Mark knew that this was affecting her ability to fight. Every time she would remember something she would become weak. It won't kill her, but he could bring her to her doom with the scouts. Queen Metallia didn't care if she was killed. Mark told the doctor if anything happened to the Princess he would count him responsible. He took her back to her room and laid her on the bed. She woke up as she felt Apollo licking her face.

"Apollo, stop that. You are tickling me. Silly cat! Did you find Slayer, Mark?"

"No, but the Queen would like a word with you."

"She always does."

She got up and she went to see the Queen. In Queen's screeching tone she yelled at her about her plans failing so far. Black Maiden looked at her very carefully and she started to feel angry, but calmed her self down. She told the Queen that this would be her last chance trying to kill them. This fight would be to the death. The Queen smiled because she knew at least one of her problems would be solved. Queen Metallia asked what her plan was. She explained she had found their equals, but more powerful. She would take care of Sailor Moon her self. Mark came in and heard her plan. He spoke up and asked about Tuxedo Mask and the Guardian of hers. She laughed at the question. Both were busy following Jack. Jack would take care of them. Mark wanted to help her with her plan, but she turned to him and told him that she must do this on her own. He replied by saying that he would keep an eye on her.

Darien felt a present pushing him towards some thing. He was close to Jack as close as Guardian was to him.

"The first thing I need to do is get the Sailor Scouts to be divided. But how? I think I will send them a letter telling them to meet me at a certain place. They don't know my identity yet so I will tell them to meet Tiffany at a certain place. I'll get Slayer to drop the letters off. First I have to find Slayer."

"The Queen said that the Castle will appear when the Earth stands still. The horn will blow and the Illusion castle will appear. "

She found slayer sitting down relaxing. She handed him the letters and she told him to go and deliver them. First he was to deliver a message to Raye at her temple. He went and did what he was told. He left the letter at her door and hid inside of a bush near by. Raye heard a sound and she slid open her door to notice the piece of paper with the name Sailor Mars. It was a letter from Black Maiden. It was an invitation for a fight at the Tokyo fountain. She was informed to come alone. Raye didn't know what to think. Black Maiden was a worthy opponent. She must do what she must. Her first instinct was to practice her karate.

The next scout to deliver her message was to Amy. Amy was on her bed reading when she heard her computer say you've got mail. She went over and clicked on the message.

"Email, from who? Fight to the finish. What does that mean? Sailor Mercury, meet me at the computer school that you go to. Do not tell any one where you are going and do not bring any of your friends with you or your secret will be revealed to the whole world. Black Maiden. What? How does she know who I am? I better go meet her there to see what she wants."

Slayer delivered the next letter to Mina. He dropped it in her window. She saw it right before Artemis entered her room. She picked it up and she read it. Black Maiden wanted a fight with her and told her not to bring her cat or he would be hurt. Artemis saw Mina reading something and asked what she was reading. She told him nothing and she said she was going to take a shower. Artemis was tired and decided to go to sleep.

The next delivering was to Lita. Slayer slipped the letter under her door. She noticed it when she was cooking. Black Maiden had written that she had heard she was the strongest of the scouts so she proposed a match. She was to come alone to the gym tonight. She couldn't not except the challenge.

The last and only scout left is the one and only Sailor Moon. She had to make sure Luna doesn't see the letter or Serenity tells her about it. So Black Maiden sent her an invitation to meet me Tiffany at the park alone and not to tell any one. I need to talk to you alone.

"Serena, a letter came for you."

"Who is it from, mom? "

"It says it is from Tiffany."

"What, I haven't seen her for a long time. I wonder what it says. Thanks mom.

Dear Serena,

I need to talk to you alone. Do not tell anybody where you are going or for what reason. Please meet me at the Tenth Street Park. Do not bring your cat please.

Tiffany

Wow! She needs me. I wonder what she wants to talk about."

Black Maiden laughed at the thought of the Scouts being no more. Her creatures stood behind her ready to do her bidding. Mark grabbed her hand and turned her around to see him.

"My dear Princess, you think you can beat the Sailor Scouts with no experience. My mother has tried to destroy them for a thousands of years, but couldn't."

"Do not call me your dear. And Metallia doesn't know them as well as I do. I know I will beat them."

"Let's hope so, because my mother will get rid of you if you can't do the job and that will be a shame. Won't it?"

"Please! Like I care. Then maybe I wouldn't have to see you again Mark."

"It would take a lot of work to get rid of me."

"Really! Then I should work really hard to make sure that I fail."

"If you fail I won't be there to save you from the Sailor Scouts."

"I don't need you like I didn't need them."

"We will see. Just don't let your emotions get in your way."

"I won't. Leave me to get ready for my entrance. I can't wait to see Sailor Moon reaction when I kill all her friends and then her."

"Black Maiden, I am so ready for you! Mars power make-up."

"How can I beat Black Maiden? I have such a weak power. She is also very smart, but I have to try. I will do my best and I can do it. I have the brainpower. Mercury power make-up."

"I will show the Sailor Scouts I am fit to be leader. I am the one and only love goddess. I am the prettiest of them all I can beat Black Maiden on my own because I have love power. I can't tell Artemis where I am going so I will have to sneak out."

She turned on the shower and as she was walking out of the door she transformed.

"Venus Power make up."

"Now I have my chance to get her for what she did to Andrew. Don't worry Andrew I will get her for you. I will use my karate moves on her. Jupiter locket make-up."

"Tiffany needs to talk to me. I better go see what's up," said Serena.
