Vessels of Ethereal Darkness
Ch. 3: Confusion and Sorrow
By: Jo
"Did you have trouble finding that vessel, Machku?" Ilyaku asked.
"Not too much."
"What do you mean by that?" Alanaku asked.
"Well a group of people attacked or should I say tried to attack me," Machku replied. "Strangely they did have some special powers but nothing that we should fear. Nothing at all."
"It is time...," a voice echoed as another person walked into the room.
"Witch Allivawika!" Ilyaku exclaimed as she noticed who had just walked into the room. Ilyaku and the other three girls bowed respectively to Allivawika. "What has brought you to our quarters?"
"My sisters are becoming impatient. The other two vessels must be found at all cost and as soon as possible." Witch Allivawika said. The dark blue pools of energy that were once Rei's eyes glared deeply at the four girls. "It is time that we start searching for the next vessel before my sisters grow angry."
"What are your orders?" Machku asked.
"Machku and Alanaku, I want you to go find another vessel. That is your mission and you must carry it out as quickly as you can," Witch Allivawika said as she held out her hand with the palm facing up. Trails of purple energy swirled around her palm and then formed into a purple crystal like the one that her sister gave to Machku before. "Alanaku, put your hand on mine."
Alanaku laid her palm down on the crystal and Allivawicka's hand. Alanaku felt the crystal merge into her hand. Witch Allivawika lowered her hand, as Alanaku turned her hand over so she could see what had happened. The crystal had embedded itself in Alanaku's hand just as the one in Machku's hand.
"Now you and Machku both have crystals to help you find the vessels," Witch Allivawika said. "Work together to find one vessel and you will have better luck. We will find the third vessel at a later time. Right now, focus on finding the second one."
"As you wish, Great Master," Alanaku said as she dissapeared in a flash of blue green energy. Machku's body erupted into waves of dark energy and then vanished as well.
"Why haven't you used one of us for any missions so far?" Ilyaku asked as she and her twin Sylaku stood side by side.
"You two will get your chance," Witch Allivawika said as she walked out of the room.
At Mamoru's apartment.
Mamoru opened his eyes drowsily as he woke up. He turned his head to see if Fish Eye was awake yet, but was surprised to see that nobody was there. He must be up already.
Mamoru sat up in the bed and turned to look out the window. It was cloudy and rainy. Mamoru stood up and walked out of the room. He saw Tiger's Eye still asleep on the floor, but Hawk's Eye was apparently up awake. Mamoru could hear voices coming from the kitchen so he decided to see what the others were doing.
Mamoru walked into the kitchen to see Hawk's Eye and Fish Eye sitting at the table talking and eating. They seemed like they had been awake for a little while now.
"Good morning, Mamoru!" Fish Eye exclaimed cheerfully. "Sit down and have breakfast with us."
"Good morning, Fish Eye." Mamoru said then he looked over to Hawk's Eye. "Good morning Hawk's Eye."
Mamoru grabbed him something to eat and then sat down at the table to eat with the others. "Do you think we should wake Tiger's Eye up?"
"Just let him sleep. He will just complain if we wake him up," Hawk's Eye said as he shoved a bite of food into his mouth.
"HEY! I heard that!" Tiger's Eye said as he raised up from where he was sleeping. He walked into the kitchen and joined the others at the table.
"So Mamoru, are we going shopping today?" Fish Eye asked. "I really need some clothes."
"Yeah sure..." Mamoru said. "We can go after we finish eating if you like."
"Yay! That is great!" Fish Eye said.
"Damn look how excited he is," Tiger's Eye said.
"I can't wait!" Fish Eye said as he finished the food on his plate. He watched the others eat a few moments then started planning what he wanted to buy at the store.
"Well as soon as we finish eating, we can get ready to go," Mamoru replied.
"Do you think Kaoli would let me borrow some clothes?" Fish Eye asked with a playfuld wink. Hawk's Eye and Tiger's Eye just let out a slight groan and looked over at Fish Eye.
"She might," Mamoru said with a laugh. "Would you like to stop there while we are out?"
"Yes if you don't mind."
"It's no problem."
"Oh Mamoru, where should I put my dirty plate?" Fish Eye asked.
"Just lay it in the sink."
Fish Eye got up from the table and carried his glass and plate over to the sink and left them to be washed. Hawk's Eye did the same.
"I think I am going to go be getting ready. Do you mind if I get something to wear to Kaoli's house from your closet?" Fish Eye asked. "I am sure that Hawk's Eye will be needing something as well."
"Um..sure go ahead and go find something to wear. I will be done shortly."
Fish Eye signaled for Hawk's Eye to come with him, as he left the room. The two walked into Mamoru's bedroom and started looking through the closet. Fish Eye seemed very uninterested in the selection of the clothing but still took time picking what to wear.
"I don't know Hawk's Eye I don't wear men's clothing often. Do you think this suits me?" Fish Eye asked as he held up a shirt from the closet.
"How would I know Fish Eye? I don't commonly judge guys' appearances." Hawk's Eye replied.
"Oh, come on. Just tell me if it looks good or not. I mean you have to use a little judgement when you dress yourself, right?"
"Okay, fine. I think the shirt suits you rather well," Hawk's Eye said. "Though, I don't think it matters that much since you are only wearing it to Kaolinite's house."
"You make a good point Hawk's Eye, but I have to look decent," Fish Eye joked. "All of these clothes are soooo boring."
"Yeah well I don't mind. They are just fine to me," Hawk's Eye said as he selected some clothing from the closet. Hawk's Eye took off his clothes he was wearing so he could put on the new outfit.
"Hawk's Eye..., have I ever told you that you have a nice ass?" Fish Eye said with a slight giggle as he caught a sight of Hawk's Eye's bare bottom.
"Stop gawking!" Hawk's Eye said as he quickly pulled some clothes on.
"Oh, I am just kidding don't be so serious," Fish Eye said. "Your ass isn't good looking...I was just saying that."
"That really makes me feel better," Hawk's Eye said with a sarcastic tone.
Fish Eye finally found some clothes that he felt suitable to be seen in. Fish Eye and Hawk's Eye finished getting dressed and walked back to see Mamoru and Tiger's Eye. Tiger's Eye had just finished eating and he was talking to Mamoru.
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha!" Tiger's Eye laughed histarically. "You look so funny in guy's clothes, Fish Eye!"
"Oh shut up, Tiger's Eye," Fish Eye said. "This is all I had to work with."
"Well it is still funny," Tiger's Eye joked.
"Come on you guys, get ready to go!" Fish Eye rushed. "I want to shop!!"
"Okay okay," Mamoru said as he stood up. "We will go soon."
"Do you mind if I borrow some of your clothes too, Mamoru?" Tiger's Eye asked. "I don't want to keep wearing these same clothes."
"I guess you can, just go find something in my closet," Mamoru said.
Mamoru and Tiger's Eye went to get dressed so they could go shopping. The two didn't take long to get ready and came back to meet the others.
"Okay, are you guys ready to go?" Mamoru asked.
"YES!!!" Fish Eye exclaimed quickly.
"What he said," Hawk's Eye replied.
"Well let's go get in the car." Mamoru said.
The group walked out the apartment door and headed towards the building's exit. Fish Eye was very excited being able to hang around Mamoru all day. The group left the building and started to load themselves in Mamoru's car.
"I call shotgun!" Fish Eye yelled as he rushed to get into the front seat so that he could sit beside Mamoru. Hawk's Eye and Tiger's Eye simply loaded themselves in the back and Mamoru got in the driver's side. The group then left for Dr. Tomoe's house.
In the Domain of Darkness.
"Sisters!" Witch Allivawika said as she approached the two remaining diamond orbs. The shards from the diamond sphere that once contained her spirit were still scattered accross the floor glistening from the light produced by the two other orbs. "Soon another one of us will have a vessel. Soon one of you will be able to join me."
"Very good, Allivawika," The diamond sphere with black vapors radiating around it said. "Who did you send to find the vessel?"
"I sent Machku and Alanaku," Allivawika responded. "We will soon have another vessel without a doubt."
"Excellent!" The dark green orb said. "It will not be long before we can rule this planet and the universe."
"Of course, sister," Witch Allivawika said.
Outside Dr. Tomoe's house
Mamoru stopped the car once they arrived at their destination. The group got out of the car and proceeded to go to the door of the house. Mamoru knocked on the door and Kaolinite answered.
"Oh hello Mamoru," Kaolinite said as she greeted the group. "What brings you here today?"
"Well these three actually," Mamoru said as he motioned towards Fish Eye, Tiger's Eye and Hawk's Eye.
"Oh well come in and you can explain," Kaolinite said as she and the group walked inside.
"So what is it that you need?" Kaolinite asked as she sat down on a couch beside Dr. Tomoe.
"Well..." Mamoru started but was interupted by Fish Eye.
"Well it was my request specifically," Fish Eye said. "So I will ask."
"Okay, go ahead," Mamoru said.
"Kaolinite, since me and the other two just returned yesterday, well I... I just don't have any clothes that I would wear to the store. Is it possible for you to loan me some of your clothes?" Fish Eye asked.
"That isn't a problem," Kaolinite said with a small chuckle. "Now Fish Eye, what kind of clothes were you needing?"
"I just needed to borrow some of your clothes long enough to go to the store," Fish Eye said as Tiger's Eye and Hawk's Eye let out a groan.
"Alright then, come to my bedroom and we will see what we can find," Kaolinite said as she signaled Fish Eye to follow her. The two walked out of the room leaving the others behind. Kaolinite walked into her bedroom and opened the closet. "Just find something you like."
"Oh thank you," Fish Eye said as he looked into the closet. "You have such a nice variety of options unlike Mamoru."
Kaolinite just laughed at the comment and offered to help Fish Eye. She shown him some outfits to see if he liked them. Fish Eye found a lilac dress to wear. He got all dressed up and Kaolinite helped him with his make up and accesories.
"You look beautiful!" Kaolinite said as she looked at Fish Eye all dressed up. She and Fish Eye then left the bedroom and walked back into the living room to see the others. Dr. Tomoe had a bit of a surprised look on his face when he seen Fish Eye come back in.
"Well Kaolinite, I would love to stay longer but we need to get going," Mamoru said. "I have to take these guys shopping and I really don't want to be out all day."
"Oh thats okay," Kaolinite replied. "We are expecting company anyway. Haruka, Michiru, and Setsuna are coming over for dinner."
"Ah, well we will see you guys later," Mamoru said as he walked towards the door. Fish Eye, Hawk's Eye, and Tiger's Eye followed.
"Alright, its been great seeing you!" Dr. Tomoe said as their company left.
At Usagi's house.
"I am glad all of you could make it to this meeting," Luna said referring to Minako, Makoto, and Ami. "Usagi told me all about what had happened yesterday."
"Yes and Minako told me," Artemis added. "This new villain seems like a real problem!"
"We have to find out what happened to Rei!" Usagi said sadly. She was very depressed by the events of the night before. "Why would that witch take Rei?!"
"That is something we are going to have to find out, Usagi," Luna said.
"That's right, and we will find out," Makoto added.
"What if it is too late to save Rei?!" Usagi was beginning to break down in tears.
"We will find a way to help her, we just need to find out more about our attacker and why she took Rei," Ami said.
"I guess you are right," Usagi said. "It just bothers me thinking about what happened to her."
"It hurts us all to think about it," Minako said, "but soon we will know what happened and we will save her. Think possitive Usagi."
"The return of the Amazon Trio shows that this could be a dangerous opponent we are against," Artemis said, "and Minako said that Kaolinite even seemed very worried by this."
"Let us hope that it isn't something too serious. Though they have already caused considerable damage," Luna noted. "Just the one warriors powers is so immense as to defeat eight of our soldiers."
"Somehow, we need to grow stronger!" Makoto said. "Otherwise, this enemy may take over."
"Once we find out the enemy's objective, we will better be able to defend against them." Luna said.
Later as Haruka, Michiru, and Setsuna are driving to the Tomoe residence.
"This person who has attacked the others could be a problem," Michiru said as the wind blew through her hair. She was sitting in the passenger seat as Haruka was driving as she commonly did. Setsuna was in the backseat.
"Yes she seems very powerful. Though for now let's try to have a nice evening and not think about it," Setsuna said. "For now, while we know nothing of the enemy, its a waste of our time to worry ourselves over it. However I do sense a change...an uncertainty about the future."
"You have a very good point Setsuna," Haruka said.
"Well, its really nice to get to have this nice get together this evening. I have been looking forward to it," Michiru changed the subject.
"Yes this is nice," Setsuna replied.
"What is that!?" Haruka said in a very suprised voice as she looked at two shadows in the sky.
"Watch out!" Setsuna yelled as she saw one of she shadows flying towards the car. The figure started to come in focus and could be seen in a tight blue body suit. The woman had black hair and was flying towards the car with a spear aimed towards it.
Haruka swerved the car to try and avoid the attack but the other shadow flew from where it was floating towards the car. This one appeared to be a woman wearing a pink and violet outfit with long blue green hair. Before Haruka could attempt to avoid the impending attack, the girl in the blue outfit appeared in front of the other girl and quickly impacted with the car wedging her spear through the hood of the car and caused the engine to seize.
"Get out of the car and run!" Haruka yelled as she watched the girl charge the spear with dark energy. Haruka quickly opened the door and jumped out of the car, the others did the same. Waves of dark energy radiated accross the car then with a loud blast it exploded. The girl and her spear erupted in a ball of dark energy and appeared a distance away from the car.
"Uranus Planet Power, Make up!" Haruka shouted as she transformed into Sailor Uranus.
"Neptune Planet Power, Make up!" A wave of water engulfed Michiru and she changed into Sailor Neptune.
"Pluto Planet Power, Make up!" Setsuna did as the others and changed into Sailor Pluto.
"I am Machku!" The figure in the blue outfit said as she floated closer to the three Sailor Soldiers.
"and I am Alanaku!" The girl in the pink and violet dress said. "I believe one of you are what we seek!"
"And what is it that you seek?!" Sailor Uranus asked in a frustrated manner.
"Your desire to ask questions is a waste of our time," Machku stated. "Just leave us be so we can find what we are after!"
Alanaku landed on the ground then attacked Sailor Uranus. She didn't possess the kind of powers that Machku did. She kicked Uranus and continued to punch her. Uranus fought back against Alanaku but seemed a bit overpowered by her attacker. Alanaku's main weapon was her strenght and she was very strong.
Machku directed an attack towards some oncoming traffic to block the road. Then she began to attack Sailor Neptune and Pluto. Machku faught against them using her spear and Pluto faught back with her staff.
"Neptune, Pluto!" Uranus shouted. "We need to try to get to Kaolinite's house. She can help us!"
Uranus broke away from Alanaku and began running down the street. They had already gotten close to the Tomoe residence by car it was just a short run now. Pluto and Neptune followed but were quickly being pursued by Machku and Alanaku. Machku hurled her spear at Pluto but she managed to dodge it and continued running.
"Machku, take my hand and share your power," Alanaku said as she and Machku joined hands. Machku surged a blast of dark energy into Alanaku's hand. Alanaku absorbed the energy then she and Machku started blasting dark energy towards the Sailor soldiers. Alanaku continued to use Machku's power to attack. Alanaku possesed no power of her own aside from her strenght, but she could absorb other peoples power and use it as her own.
Neptune, Uranus and Pluto could not avoid the massive attacks and were blasted to the ground. Alanaku and Machku then started flying towards their victims. Sailor Pluto stood up and started to fight Machku with her staff as Neptune and Uranus fought against Alanaku. Pluto managed to block Machku's spear with her staff then hit Machku in the chest with the staff.
The hit knocked Machku to the ground but she quickly stood back up. A surge of dark energy shot from Machku's hand and blasted Sailor Pluto causing her to skid accross the ground. Machku dissappeared in a blast of dark vapors then appeared over Sailor Pluto. She grabbed Pluto's neck with one hand and held her against the ground choking her and then placed her other hand, the one with the purple crystal in it, on Pluto's forehead. There was no reaction. Pluto hit Machku freeing herself from the woman's grip.
"Dead Scream!" Sailor Pluto yelled as a massive surge of energy formed on her staff. She launched it towards Machku. Suddenly an evil smirk came accross Alanaku's face. Alanaku teleported in a flash of blue green light directly in front of Machku, where Pluto's attack had been directed.
"How foolish," Sailor Uranus said assuming that Alanaku had simply placed herself in danger.
The blast hit Alanaku then dissapeared without hurting her at all. The Sailor stared in astonishment at the spectacle they had just witnessed. Alanaku grinned evily as she looked back towards the Sailors.
"Dead Scream!!!" Alanaku shrieked as a ball of purple energy that looked just like Pluto's attack formed on her hand. Alanaku launched the powerful energy directly towards Sailor Uranus.
"Neptune Deep Submerge!" Sailor Neptune said as she sent a ball of water spiraling towards the purple energy in an attempt to block Uranus from harm. The two attacks impacted and erupted in a bright flash.
"Try to fight without using your powers! If they can use them against us then we are better off not using them," Sailor Uranus advised. Sailor Uranus made her Space Sword appear hoping that she would have better luck with it.
Sailor Uranus ran towards Alanaku and swung the sword at her. She managed to hit Alanaku cutting her arm. Alanaku grinned and swung her foot at Sailor Uranus. Alanaku's toes were sharp like a razor and they cut accross Sailor Uranus's chest. The wounds were not too serious but were bloody. The blood began to stain Sailor Uranus's white outfit as she continued to battle against Alanaku. Uranus had to be careful dodging Alanaku's kicks to avoid a serious cut. She swung her sword and continued to fight against her.
Neptune and Pluto were fighting against Machku. Pluto was attacking her with her staff and Neptune was just fighting with no weapons. Machku was growing tired of the fighting and began to power up a large amount of dark energy. Two massive columns of dark energy shot from her body and impacted with Sailor Neptune and Sailor Pluto blasting them against a nearby building's wall.
Alanaku sliced her toes across Sailor Uranus's arm then pushed her to the ground and used her weight to keep Uranus from moving. She placed her hand with the crystal embedded in it against Sailor Uranus's body. The crystal gave no reaction. Alanaku punched Sailor Uranus in the face then stood up and floated over towards Machku.
"We have tested them all but the one, she must be the one we seek!" Alanaku said as she pointed towards Sailor Neptune.
"Ah you seem to be correct. We shall focus our attacks on her then," Machku responded.
Sailor Uranus was injured badly but she had to try and protect Neptune. She joined Sailor Pluto and quickly began trying to fight the enemies. The two villains ignored Pluto and Uranus and continued after Sailor Neptune. Sailor Netpune ran as fast as she could trying to get away from the impending danger which was approaching her.
"Sailor Uranus contact Hotaru and tell her we need help!" Sailor Pluto instructed. "Otherwise we will all be killed! We have no choice."
Sailor Uranus watched as Sailor Pluto continued to try and fend off Sailor Neptune's attackers. She then spoke into her communicator and used it to contact Hotaru.
"Hotaru?"
"Yes, what do you need Haruka?"
"It is an emergency bring help we are on your street towards the east coming from your house!"
"Okay I will be there shortly!"
With that Uranus put away her communicator and went to help Pluto and Neptune. Sailor Uranus used her Space Sword to fight against the two villains and Pluto was fighting with her Garnet Rod. Sailor Pluto was fighting against Machku and hit her hard in the face with her rod. A small trail of blood streamed from Machku's lip but then turned black and evaporated into black vapors dissappearing. Machku looked hard at Pluto, she was quite enraged by her injury, however minor it was.
Machku's body began to generate waves of dark energy. Her eyes turned black for a moment and her hair flowed wildly through the air. She hurled her spear at Pluto and it turned into a blast of dark energy which knocked Sailor Pluto hard to the ground. The black waves moving accross Machku's body began to grow even more intense and Alanaku grabbed Sailor Uranus and held her so that she couldn't move. She knew what Machku was about to do and she was going to make sure that Uranus suffered from the blow.
Machku's entire body seemed to look black from all the dark energy radiating around it. Finally with a loud scream the dark energy swirled from her body engulfing everything around them. Alanaku absorbed the energy as it impacted with her and charged it into Sailor Uranus's body injuring her severely. Sailor Neptune and Pluto didn't get hit as bad as Uranus. Alanaku used her powers with Machku's to make sure that Uranus couldn't interfere any longer. Sailor Netpune screamed as she watched Alanaku release Uranus and watched her collapse to the ground. She rushed over only to be knocked to the ground by another blast of dark energy from Machku.
"Machku keep the other one away from me for just a moment," Alanaku said as she pointed towards Sailor Pluto. "It is time we find the vessel."
A trail of dark energy ripped through the air in front of Machku and formed into her spear. She grasped it from the air and flew towards Sailor Pluto. Alanaku took this chance and jumped onto Sailor Neptune who was lying on the ground where Machku's attack had left her. She used her crystal to find out if Neptune was in fact the second vessel. As she held the crystal up to Sailor Neptune's body a dark green aura began to form over Netpune's body. Alanaku's eyes widened with excitement as she realized that this was the second vessel. She floated up into the air leaving Neptune lying on the road. Then Shot down quickly from the sky with her blade-like toes aimed towards Sailor Neptune. Uranus could only watch from where she lay unable to move on the ground. Machku's and Alanaku's attack had left her in an extremely weakened position. Powerless to do anything more than watch tears trailed down her cheeks as she saw what was happening. Alanaku slammed her sharp toes into Sailor Neptune's stomach and forced them down into her. Blood leaked from the wounds as Alanaku hovered in place with her toes digging into Neptune's body. Alanaku ripped her toes out and floated a short distance away. Sailor Neptune's wounds began to spill blood all accross her outfit. The bleeding was no longer blocked by Alanaku's toes and it now flowed freely. Sailor Uranus cried out as she saw this and tried with all her might to pull herself towards Neptune, but she couldn't get her body to move. Sailor Neptunes sailor outfit disappeared and her normal clothes returned on her body and were quickly stained by the blood from her wounds.
Suddenly a blast of energy knocked Alanaku in the back and blasted her accross the ground. Sailor Pluto looked up to see Kaolinite floating high in the air wearing a black dress with two long slits up the side. The dress had a very lowcut neckline and exposed her cleavage and she wore a very decorative necklace. Standing from the dress was a tall collar and Kaolinite's long red hair flowed around it.
"Hotaru told me you asked her for help but I thought it better to leave her out of this battle for now, it is obvious that her strength isn't enough to challenge these two," Kaolinite said as she floated down to the ground. Alanaku stood up angrily and launched a ball of energy back at Kaolinite. The force from Kaolinite's attack was still enough to injure Alanaku even though she had absorbed it. Kaolinite deflected the ball of energy with her hand. Sailor Pluto made her way to Sailor Neptune to see if she could in some way help her.
Machku rushed at Kaolinite with her spear. She was always one to welcome a fight. Kaolinite blasted a ball of energy at Machku blasting her backwards. Then Kaolinite's hair flowed through the air and grew extremely long and entangled Machku. Kaolinite made a slight motion with her head then her hair moved quickly pulling Machku along with it and slammed Machku against the ground with powerful force.
"Who is she!?" Alanaku screamed as she saw how easily Kaolinite was beating Machku. "This is impossible how can anybody be more powerful than us!?"
Machku was beaten and weak but she refused to give up. She pulled herself up from the ground and launched a massive surge of dark energy towards Kaolinite. Kaolinite quickly disappeared in a flash of red energy and appeared behind Machku. Kaolinite's hair extended and wrapped around Machku's body yet again then Kaolinite grabbed Machku by the neck. Kaolinite surged a blast of energy into her hands and it blasted through Machku's body. Machku's eyes glowed with a redish tent as the energy coursed through her body. A low scream uttered from her throat before she fell motionless in death. Kaolinite's hair retracted to its regular lenth and she dropped Machku to the ground. Before Machku's body even landed on the pavement below it began to dissolve into vapors of dark energy until eventually her entire body erupted into energy and had vanished.
Alanaku looked towards Sailor Neptune's body with a worried look on her face. She made a dash towards Sailor Neptune to attempt to take her back to her superiors before Kaolinite destroyed her as well.
Kaolinite appeared in an instant directly in front of Alanaku and used a blast of invisible force to launch her far away from Sailor Neptune. Then Kaolinite continued in her attack against Alanaku and flew in her direction. Suddenly the sky began to grow very dark and a black circle formed in the sky above them all. Energy began to glow from within the circle in a dark blue hue.
A female form began to lower out of the circle into view of everyone on the street below. On her body was a dark blue dress and as her face came into sight everyone except for Alanaku let out a gasp of suprise. Then they continued to watch as Alanaku bowed down onto one knee. The woman floated from the circle and floated above the street as the circle of energy disappeared from view leaving only her as proof that it had been there at all.
"Rei! you are okay?!" Sailor Pluto screamed in suprise as she seen this female who had just appeared before them. Her thought were clouded with questions as to why Rei had just appeared in the way she did, why she was dressed as she were, and why Alanaku had bowed to her.
"Thats not Rei!" Kaolinite shouted as she noticed the glowing jewels on the woman's forehead and they dark blue energy in the place of her eyes.
"Fool!" The woman said as she looked at Alanaku. "You are far to weak to continue being of any help to us."
"What do you mean great master?" Alanaku asked. "Have I done something wrong great Witch Allivawicka?"
Kaolinites eyes widened as she heard that name. Her heart pounded as she realized who the new enemy was but she tried her best to hide her surprise for the sake of the others at that time.
"A waste," Witch Allivawicka said as she glared at Alanaku. She placed her hands together and a flash of blue light shined brightly between them. Then she slowly pulled her hands apart and a spear of ice formed and grew larger as her hands spread farther apart. Then the spear turned in a direction where one of its two points were pointing towards Alanaku. Then with her emotionless expression gazing still at Alanaku the spear launched from where it floated and sliced through Alanaku's body. Alanaku shrieked in pain as her body melted away and dissolved into a green light then disappeared completely.
"Such power!" Sailor Pluto gasped as she witnessed Alanaku's distruction.
Witch Allivawicka shifted her dark blue eyes towards Michiru's body which lay motionless next to Sailor Pluto. Allivawicka's eyes glowed brightly and Michiru's body started floating into the air. Sailor Pluto tried to grab her but she couldn't move she felt cold and realized that Allivawicka was using her powers to keep her from moving. Kaolinite tried to attack but by then Allivawicka already had Michiru and had disappeared in the same way as she had appeared earlier.
"NO!" Sailor Uranus yelled as a flood of tears spilled accross her face.
Kaolinite floated back to the ground and used her powers to heal Sailor Uranus and Sailor Pluto.
In the Domain of Darkness
"Sisters, I have the next vessel," Witch Allivawicka said as she walked into the room with the two diamond spheres. Shards from her sphere still were scattered accross the floor and glowed from the light generated from the two spheres. "Machku and Alanaku are both dead, but no matter with only one more vessel to find we hardly need their assistance."
"What color aura did the vessel emit?" The sphere with the black glow asked.
"The aura was dark green."
"It is my turn!" The orb surrounded with dark green vapors shouted in a very excited manner.
"Is the current inhabitant non existent?" The dark green sphere asked to make sure the vessel was ready for her to merge.
"Yes, this girl is deceased. The vessel is ready for you," Allivawicka replied.
"Excellent then it is time for her body to become mine!"
The dark green energy surrounding the sphere flowed away from the large ball of diamond towards Michiru's corpse. After all the energy had flowed from the diamond orb, it shattered and its shards scattered accross the floor and lay mixed with the shards from Allivawicka's sphere. The energy flowed into Michiru's body and all of her wounds from the battle before healed. Michiru's eyes started to glow a dark green as her body floated vertically into the air. The clothes on her body became engulfed in a blue flame and ashes from them floated to the floor then vanished. With another flash of blue fire surging accross Michiru's body a beautiful flowing gown appeared and three jewels protruded from her forehead. After this transformation had completed Michiru's body floated back to the ground.
"I am Witch Pailanari!" Michiru's body had fallen into the control of the dark witch. Her powers of water had been changed, changed into that of fire. "Now two of us have been revived! We only need to find the last vessel and we will be ready to continue our metamorphosis!"
"Yes this is true, now we just need to find my vessel," The remaining orb spoke. "Allivawicka, Pailanari, See to it that you find it soon!"
"Of course sister," Witch Pailanari said. "We will send Ilyaku and Sylaku to locate the last vessel and if need be we will assist them as well in the hunt!"
"Yes we will find your vessel sister, be patient." Allivawicka stated. "I promise it won't take long at all."
