sorry for the looong wait. haven't been able to update cause I switched schools (sort of) and I've been busy getting back into a schedule for work and school. so here is chapter 7 plz review and tell me what u think. enjoy.SP16
Negaverse-Throne Room:
King Daios sat in Beryl's old throne mildly interested in what his informer was telling him. He was about to doze off when Sia burst into the room looking extremely harassed. "Ah, General Sia. I hope you bring me good news of my future queen?" King Daios looked expectantly down at his General."My lord, she is awake." King Daios almost jumped out of his throne.
"Well then I must tend to her." Just then Daios noticed the blood on Sia's face and dress. "What happened to you General? You look as if you have been beaten." Sia scowled and glared at the floor.
"Your 'queen' was a bit disturbed when she awoke in her chambers." Daios looked a bit amused at her pain.
"Well clean yourself up. I will return shortly." With a smirk obviously visible on his face he turned and headed for the corridor where Setsuna's room was located.
Sia watched King Daios leave the room. After he was out the door she turned to the youma and goons standing around the throne room, all of them were staring at her.
"What are you looking at! Go find something to destroy!" They were startled and frightened by Sia's outburst and took their leave through the doors to the front. Sia scowled. "What does he see in that tramp! Even the youma are prettier than she is! Hmf!" Sia sat in Queen Beryl's old throne. "Ugh. I'm all covered in blood. That stupid senshi!"
A figure appeared next to Sia. "A little jealous are we Sia?" Sia closed her eyes and huffed.
"Jealous of that ugly little tramp? Me? Ha! What do you take me for Shiro?" Shiro stepped out of the shadows. He was tall with tan skin. He had dark gray eye's, and he wore a suit like Nephlite's. His black hair was kept short and tidy.
"I take you for a jealous cat Sia. You are jealous of someone you can't wipe out without losing what your after." Shiro had a smirk on his face.
Sia had turned red at his comment and hid her face. "So what if I'm jealous? What business is it of yours?" Shiro smiled at the embarrassment he had caused.
"It isn't my business at all, but I do so enjoy your embarrassment." At this Sia stood up and slapped him.
"How rude you are! How dare you tease me you arrogant brat!" Shiro rubbed his face.
"That hurt. You know King Daios isn't the only one who finds her attractive." Sia glared at Shiro.
"Really? Who else finds that ugly wretch 'attractive'?" Shiro smiled at her curiosity.
"Well there are a few of them." Sia was beginning to lose her temper.
"Who else thinks she's pretty?!" Shiro turned his back to her and grinned. He did so love teasing her. "Tell me Shiro! Or perhaps our king would like to know who was at fault for not capturing her during her depression all those centuries ago..." Shiro straightened up.
"It was an accident Sia, all in the past." Sia smirked.
"So who else finds the woman attractive?" Shiro sighed a breath of defeat.
"Well King Daios does of course. As do I believe it or not. And one other who could help you." Sia grabbed his shoulder and turned him to face her.
"Who is the last one? The one who can get her away from my love, our king?" Shiro grinned.
"Her once loyal knight is a good choice." Sia looked disappointed.
"You really expect me to go to Tokyo fight off all the Sailor Scouts and get hurt just to get back the heart of the king? You're out of your mind Shiro!" Shiro rolled his eye's.
"You are a dimwit aren't you Sia? You made a clone didn't you? Use him!" Shiro then turned and left the room. Sia stood there for a moment and smiled.
"I will use the clone I made!" Sia snapped her fingers and her face and dress were clean. "Now to go find that clone and get back the king's heart!" Sia turned and left.
"Good, good. Let me through. I would like to meet my future queen." The human voice.
"Yes sir, right this way."
Setsuna backed away from the door and her heart skipped a beat. Whoever had had her kidnapped wanted her for his queen. "I have got to get out of here..." The doorknob started to turn and Setsuna searched for something hard and heavy. There was nothing heavy in the room except for the bed and side table.
"Damnit! Uhh.." The door began to open and Setsuna had nowhere to run. Setsuna stood ready. Her plan was to run out the door as soon as it was opened. The door finally opened and there stood a tall man with silver hair and icy blue eye's. He wore a black suit with a dark gray cape. All in all he was very handsome, the only thing wrong with him was the black crescent moon on his forehead. He walked in and held his hand out to take Setsuna's but she pulled her hand back and got ready to run.
"Hello Sailor Pluto, or maybe I should call you Setsuna. I am King Daios of the Negaverse." Setsuna almost spit in his face but instead took her chance and darted around King Daios and ran out the door. The youma standing guard missed her and she ran down the hall like a bullet.
"Get her! Don't let her escape!" The youma outside the door began to run after Setsuna as did King Daios.
Setsuna ran down the hall thankful to herself that she was in good shape. Unfortunately she was getting more and more tired.
"Uhhh I can't keep this up for much longer." She kept running she knew that if she stopped to catch her breath they would catch up to her and wipe her memories of her past, present, and her friends. "Oh Small Lady I won't forget you. Ever..." Setsuna could hear the voices of the youma and King Daios behind her. She kept running as fast as her feet would carry her. Suddenly she was grabbed and pulled behind a pillar. "Wha..?"
"Shhhh! You want them to find you?" Setsuna tried to look at the face of the person who had hidden her but it was impossible without moving out from behind the pillar. Setsuna heard the footsteps of the youma and Daios stop on the opposite side of the pillar.
"Find her! I have waited for centuries to get her! Ever since the beginning of time! Now go find her and bring back my future queen!" The youma ran off trying to locate Setsuna. King Daios breathed hard. "I will have the timeless beauty, Sailor Pluto. No matter what!" Daios took one last look around then went off in search of Setsuna.
Setsuna sighed and closed her eye's."That was close..." The stranger who had pulled Setsuna behind the pillar grabbed her and pulled her into a kiss. Setsuna slapped the stranger and pulled away.
"Who are you?!" The stranger frowned.
"Why do you withdraw from me? I thought that you cared for me." Setsuna stepped back from the stranger.
"I don't even know who you are!" The stranger stepped forward into the light. Setsuna stepped back in horror.Just outside of Tokyo city limits:"Ok. Is everyone ready?" Haruka and Michiru stood in front of the group. "I want all of you to understand that this may be our only chance to save Setsuna. If we fail now we won't be able to try again. We have one shot. Let's do our best." Everyone nodded. Rini looked down at the Luna-P ball. She missed Setsuna and was going to do her best to save her.
"Ok everyone. Let's do it." Everyone took out their henshin pens and began to transform."MERCURY STAR POWER!" A swirling mist of water surrounded Amy's body and where she stood was now Sailor Mercury.
"MARS STAR POWER!" Flames wrapped around Raye's body and where she stood was Sailor Mars."VENUS STAR POWER!" Mina was surrounded by a bright starlight and where she stood was Sailor Venus."JUPITER STAR POWER!" Lita was surrounded by a ball of lightning and where she stood was Sailor Jupiter."MOON COSMIC POWER!" Serena was surrounded by a warm pink light and where she had stood was Sailor Moon."URANUS PLANET POWER!" A wall of dirt and stone surrounded Haruka and where she stood was Sailor Uranus."NEPTUNE PLANET POWER!"A wall of water and mist surrounded Michiru and where she stood was Sailor Neptune."MOON PRISIM POWER!" Rini was surrounded by the same warm pink light as Serena and where she stood was Sailor Chibi Moon.Darien had already transformed into Tuxedo Mask and Seth had become Pluto Knight. Sailor Neptune and Sailor Uranus stood in front of the group ready to set the plan into motion.
"Is everyone ready?" The scouts looked at each other and nodded. Sailor Uranus walked over to Pluto Knight, grabbed him by his collar and looked him straight in the face. "Listen here. If you didn't attack Sailor Pluto then you should be willing to help us. So don't blow it."
Uranus turned to the other scouts. "Ok. Lets go scouts! Time to save Sailor Pluto!" The scout's took their places and got ready to begin. Sailor Chibi Moon took her place and took a deep breath.
"I hope this works." Chibi Moon closed her eye's and readied herself, this was the crucial moment of the plan. It had to go off without a hitch.Negaverse-Abandoned hallway:"Get away from me! How did you get here?" Setsuna pushed away from him.
"I came here to get you. I still love you Setsuna." The fake Pluto Knight tried to make her believe him.
"If you cared you wouldn't have attacked me at the gates!" She pulled away from him, but he quickly grabbed her and pulled her close.
"Please listen to me! When I attacked you at the gates I was working for the Negaverse, but now all I care about is you! Please believe me."
"Why would you work for the Negaverse in the first place?" Setsuna tried to pull away from him but he held her tightly against his chest.
"I made a mistake. I'm sorry. Please forgive me." The fake Pluto Knight tilted her head up and made her look him in the eyes.
"How do I know that you're not working for them now? How do I know that I can trust you?" Setsuna couldn't look him in the eyes, it was too painful. She closed her eyes and sighed. He had betrayed her, how could he expect her to forgive him? He had absolutely no right to ask her forgiveness for what he had done. He had almost killed her.
"Please Setsuna, I ask only for what we had before. I am sorry I attacked you. I didn't have a choice, they forced me to attack you my love. Please forgive me." Setsuna had tears running down her face. She couldn't forgive him. In her heart she wanted to but she sensed something was amiss. She tried to figure out what it was but she couldn't put her finger on it.Negaverse-Hallway outside control room:General Sia scoured the entire base and couldn't find her Pluto Knight clone.
"Where in the devil is he?" She passed a room full of computers and sensors that were going crazy. Sia back tracked and went inside. The youma who was supposed to be monitoring the sensors was goofing off somewhere. Sia shook her head and muttered something about 'lazy monsters' She strolled up to a screen and checked the monitor. She stepped back in shock. It was the Sailor Scout's , and they had cornered a Pluto Knight.
The Pluto Knight had his sword out and one of the scouts body lay on the ground near his feet. Sia smiled, it must be the clone attacking the scouts. She looked at the screen and saw them yelling at each other. Interested to hear what they were shouting Sia turned up the volume. Suddenly Sailor Jupiter's voice filled the room-
-"Where did you take Sailor Pluto? Tell us or perish!"-
- Then Pluto Knight's voice-"You will never see her again! I have taken her out of your reach!"- Then the scouts started beating him up. Punching, kicking, throwing energy attacks at him. He looked close to death.
"I need to go get him before he's blown to bits! If I don't then King Daios will never care for anyone but that wretched Sailor Pluto!" Sia turned and opened a portal to the battlefield.
"I will reclaim my beloved king's heart! Here I come Sailor Scout's."Battlefield- Outside Tokyo city limits:"SHINE AQUA-"Sailor Mercury aimed her blast of icy water at Pluto Knight praying that it would miss but look like it hit. "-ILLUSION!" It did what it was supposed to do. It hit his arm but still looked like it hit his whole body. The scouts threw a few more attacks at him then he fell to the ground in a heap. He was a fairly descent actor. Sailors Uranus and Neptune walked over to him and Uranus put the Space Sword against his throat.
"Now tell us! Where did you take her." Pluto Knight looked frightened, truth be told it was real fear. He knew that if the plan failed that the Sailor Scouts would kill him. Pluto Knight thought silently to himself. 'I hope Setsuna is still alright...' Just then he was distracted by a dark portal that was opening above him.
"What the...?" The portal grew some more then out stepped a young woman with flaming orange hair and deep purple eye's. She wore a long violet dress and there was a black crescent moon on her forehead.
"Pluto Knight! What are you wasting your time for? Come back to the Negaverse with me right now! I need your help to get that wench of a scout away from our king." The scouts held hands as she was saying this and prepared for their attack.
"VENUS STAR POWER!" Sailor Venus was surrounded by an orange aura.
"JUPITER STAR POWER!" Sailor Jupiter was surrounded by a green aura."MOON COSMIC POWER!" Sailor Moon was surrounded by a bright pink aura.The scouts were surrounded by a brilliant light and their energies combined.
"SAILOR PLANET-" Sia realized what was happening too late to stop it.
"Oh no! Stop what your doing this instant!" She looked down at Pluto Knight. He had already jumped out of the way as the scout's had powered up. General Sia stared in horror as she tried to escape through the portal back to the Negaverse but it was to late.
"-ATTACK!" Sia was engulfed in the energy and turned into a pile of moon dust. As the light faded away the pile of dust blew away in the wind.
Pluto Knight stood staring open-mouthed at the power that the scouts had. Sailor Uranus glared down at Pluto Knight.
"Be careful traitor. You might be next."
"Ok everyone let's go to the Negaverse to save Setsuna!" The scouts all walked over to the dark portal. Sailor Uranus started having the scouts walk through the portal before it closed. When it came time for Sailor Chibi Moon to step through she took a deep breath, closed her eye's and put her foot through.Negaverse control room:As Sailor Uranus stepped through the portal it closed.
"So this is what the Negaverse looks like on the inside. It's pretty dark." Sailor Chibi Moon shivered and hugged herself.
"It was like stepping through a sheet of ice! I'm freezing." Tuxedo Mask walked over to her and wrapped her up in his cape.
"Is that better Chibi Moon?" Chibi Moon smiled up at him.
"Yup, thanks." Sailor Moon looked around and took a deep breath.
"Should we split up, or stay all together?" Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune looked grave and closed their eye's. Sailor Uranus opened her eye's and looked at Sailor Moon and the Inner Senshi.
"We should split into two groups. Neptune and I will take Sailor Mercury, Sailor Venus, and Pluto Knight. Sailor Moon you and Tuxedo Mask take Sailor Chibi Moon, Mars, and Jupiter. Ok?" She looked around at the other scouts and they nodded. Sailor Moon looked worried.
"Are you sure it's a good idea to split up?" Sailor Neptune opened her eye's and nodded at Sailor Moon.
"If we stay in a large group we will be easier to spot, and it will make it harder to fight in a closed in space." Sailor Moon frowned but nodded to show that she understood their reasons.
"Ok let's go." Sailor's Uranus, Neptune, Mercury, Venus, and Pluto Knight crept out the door and went left to look for Setsuna. Sailor Moon looked at her team and nodded to indicate that they too should leave. Sailor Moon headed for the door and checked if the coast was clear. It was.
She signaled to her team and they stepped out into the hallway and went right. Sailor Chibi Moon shivered, not because it was cold, but because the whole place had a distinctive aura of pure evil. She silently prayed that they weren't to late to save Setsuna. 'Oh Puu please be alright'
Negaverse- Hallway:Setsuna was checking to make sure the coast was clear, it was."Ok c'mon let's find a way out of here." Setsuna crept out from behind the pillar. The fake Pluto Knight followed her out into the empty hallway. Setsuna started walking down the hallway followed closely by the fake Pluto Knight.
"Please my Princess you must believe me. I am truly sorry I attacked you. Why won't you believe me?" The fake Pluto Knight tried once again to touch her but Setsuna pulled away and put her finger to her lips.
"Shhhh! Do you want them to find us?" Setsuna rolled her eye's. He kept trying to touch her and hold her, but she still wasn't sure what was out-of-place about him. She sighed as she peeked around the corner to see if anyone was there. Two guards were talking to King Daios as he was instructing them to look for Setsuna. Setsuna closed her eye's and prayed for a miracle to happen because Pluto Knight had just opened his mouth at the wrong time a little to loudly.
"Please my Princess forgive me!"
The guards and Daios heard him and ran towards the two. Setsuna turned and began to run but the fake Pluto Knight grabbed her and pulled her back.
"What are doing you idiot!? They're coming this way!" Setsuna struggled to get away. The fake Pluto Knight looked confused as he had not yet realized that Daios and his guards were heading their way.
"Who is coming?" Setsuna didn't have time to answer as the guards came around the corner and pulled her from Pluto Knight's grasp.
"Ahh! Let me go!" King Daios came around the corner and looked at the scene. His two guards were holding Setsuna back and the fake Pluto Knight stood still watching her thrash about.
"Ah! Well done Pluto Knight! You have recaptured my lovely queen to be!" King Daios smiled and started to walk over to Setsuna who's mouth was open in shock.
"What do you mean 'recaptured'?" King Daios smiled.
"He was the one who captured you in the first place." Setsuna looked at Pluto Knight with such pain in her eye's that he had to look away.
"Is it true? Were you the one responsible for bringing me here? I knew that you attacked me but…I didn't know you gave the final blow…" The inner pain she felt was clearly expressed in her voice.
"Yes. I was the one who brought you to this place..." The fake Pluto Knight chanced a glance at her face. The hurt she felt from this statement was clearly visible in her eye's.
"Why...?" The fake Pluto Knight looked away from her face. He couldn't bare to see the pain he had caused in her.
King Daios however decided to take advantage of her shock and tilted her face towards his own. Upon closer inspection he could see the streams of tears rolling down her cheeks.
"Please do not waste your tears on him my queen. He is nothing more than a clone." Setsuna's eye's opened wide in shock.
"He..." Setsuna gestured toward the fake Pluto Knight by nodding in his direction, "...is a clone?" King Daios smiled a little bit more.
"Yes. He was created to make you believe that he had betrayed you." Setsuna looked up into the face of King Daios. He seemed rather sweet, but in an evil sort of way. Setsuna shook her head trying to get thoughts like that out of her mind. When she stopped King Daios tilted her face to look at his once again. He smiled and kissed her.It was just as King Daios imagined it would be. Her lips were as soft as the petal's of Cherry Blossom's. He mentally grinned, he finally had what he wanted. As he kissed Setsuna he let a small amount of a purple gas-like substance transfer to her from inside him. Again he mentally grinned, he had the ability to put people to sleep using the gas whenever he pleased. The gas could also make people feel however he wanted them too. Sort of like mind control.Setsuna was taken aback by the kiss at first, but then she could taste something sweet in her mouth and then it flowed through her whole body. She began to feel weak and sleepy. When Daios finally released her from the kiss Setsuna was in a daze. Her mind and heart said no but her body said yes, her body wanted the kiss to continue. And little by little her mind began to agree. It said don't stop! I loved it.. and I love you... Setsuna's heart still stood defiant. It said he's not the one I love, Pluto Knight is the one I belong with! I will not fall for his cheep mind control! Setsuna looked up at Daios her eye's had a glassy look to them as though she were not herself.Daios smiled down at his future queen. She had a strong will but he would change that. He would bend her will so that he was the only one she thought or cared about. As she looked up at him he saw that her gaze had become unfocused and her body was hungry for him. He licked his lip's, he could still taste her on them. The substance had had the effect he wanted it to. She couldn't stop staring at him, and that was exactly what he wanted.The fake Pluto Knight fumed. How dare he kiss his Princess! He looked at her face. Her eye's seemed unfocused and she stared hungrily at King Daios. The fake Pluto Knight drew his sword at pointed it at Daios.
"Release my Princess from whatever spell you have placed upon her! She does not belong with you! She belongs with her Knight!" Pluto Knight took a deep breath and charged at Daios.Setsuna's mind was still trying to convince her heart that she loved King Daios not Pluto Knight, but her heart still stood defiant. It fought hard I don't belong with King Daios in the Negaverse! I belong with my Pluto Knight at the Gates of Time! I can't stay here I love Pluto Knight and Small Lady... I promised that I would never forget Small Lady…
"Small....Lady..." Setsuna seemed to be regaining rightful control over her mind. She awoke from the dreamland of bliss that Daios' kiss had put her in just in time to watch King Daios put up a hand and...
"AHHHHHHHHHH! I'm sorry I could not save you my princess..." Pluto Knight's clone fell to the floor in a heap. King Daios had burned him alive. Setsuna still felt oddly sleepy but she struggled to try and reach the dead clone.
"PLUTO KNIGHT! NO!...not again..." Tears streaked down her face and she stared at the charred body of the clone. King Daios turned and looked at his future queen. She had fought off his mind control. Setsuna wept for a moment then passed out. The substance had taken its effect and made her fall asleep.
"Give her to me and alert all who have been searching for her. I will take her to the Mind Chamber and begin her brainwashing. Now go!" The youma saluted him and left. King Daios turned and headed for the Mind Chamber to begin brainwashing Setsuna. He thought to himself I WILL have you Princess Pluto! Even if I must make you fall in love with me by force!
