Thanks Moon's Rose and EternalMoonFighter for your comments


Marius appeared in a void of total darkness and very angry.

"Those scouts might prove to be a nuisance. There not that strong but they will get in the way. I'll have to eliminate them." He stood there, in deep thought.

"What really confuses me is that girl who said she was Sailor Moon. She can't be." He remembered what happened when he blasted the ground out from underneath the scouts and Sailor Moon crying.

He stared out into the darkness. He then remembered the attack the other scout made at him. How easily she eliminated his attack. He looked at the hand that he held the energy ball with. I was covered in blood and was hurt bad. He grew madder.

"Damn that blasted girl! How did she get so strong all of a sudden?" He yelled. The whole time he had thought he was talking to himself. But someone did hear him.

"You idiot, Marius." A black spirit came up behind him. He looked like someone's shadow that had come to life. Marius spun around and backed up, intimidated by the spirit.

"Master, I had no idea you had came." He bowed at the spirit.

"Well, I guess I had to come, SINCE YOU CAN'T DO ONE BLASTED THING RIGHT!" The whole void shook with the anger of the spirit. Marius was scared. He knew it was not a good idea to anger his master. Those before who did didn't last too much longer after that.

"You had a simple task. Get the silver crystal and destroy that girl. How difficult is that?" The spirit asked, he had seemed to have calmed down but was still irritated by Marius' failure.

"I told you to destroy that girl before she got to Earth. Do you have any idea why?" the spirit asked. Marius shook his head. "The closer she is to the crystal, the stronger she becomes. She has a certain connection with the crystal and she can channel its power and use it. That's why she's stronger."

Marius knew that this was going to make his task more difficult. For so long the two of them have been evenly matched. Every time one got stronger, the other did too. But now, she was close to the crystal so she could use its power. Marius didn't like this one bit.

Marius looked at his master, "what about that girl, the one who claimed to be Sailor Moon, who is she?" The spirit was growing tired of Marius. "She is who she claims to be."

"But how?" Marius asked. The spirit answered him, "She is the one who carries the silver crystal, which is what you need to retrieve from her." Marius nodded. His master didn't really answer his question but he didn't want to ask again.

"I need that crystal if I wish to rule the universe and to get my body back."

Marius nodded, "I won't fail you."

"See that you don't" and with that the spirit disappeared.

In a dark room, with an orb in the middle of the ceiling letting of a slight glow, the mysterious girl stood in front of the mirror she had appeared from. She was staring at it. The mirror was showing her of what just happened, of her fighting Marius and trying to take the silver crystal. She watched this over and over again, trying to figure something out.

A grey cat walked towards her. The girl didn't even turn around. "What do you want, Amarissa?"

The cat spoke up, "Nothing, I was just wondering what you were doing." Amarissa could see that she was watching the part where she demanded the crystal.

"Why didn't you take the crystal, it's what you came for, isn't it?" Amarissa asked.

"Yes. I could have taken. I could have taken it easily, even if they all fought back ... but ... I couldn't. Something was stopping me. I wanted to take it ... but I couldn't. Why?"

She looked at the cat when she asked why. Amarissa could she a struggle going on within her eyes, within herself. Amarissa sighed and said, "That's something I can't answer. Only you know why."

They both turned their attention back to the mirror. The cat spoke up again. "You know, Serena is a very understanding person. I'm sure if you spoke with her, explained why you need the crystal, I'm sure she would be happy to give it to you."

"The less she and the others know, the safer they are." Was the answer Amarissa got.

"Yes but the less they no about this enemy, the less chance they have of defending themselves from him."

The cat's words didn't seem to get through to her. The images stopped. The girl spun around and went to leave the room. Amarissa called out to her, "Where are you going?"

"Out," was the only answer she was given.
