Chapter 2 - Phoebe´s Dream

That night Phoebe had a really horrible dream...

A girl lay on the ground, she had long blond hair and wore a huge white dress. Her eyes were empty, looking at something only she could see.

Blood was coming out of every pore of her skin, slowly coloring her dress red. Beside her right hand lay a glowing crystal, but it´s light was slowly fading. Then her viewpoint suddenly changed. She stood on a little hill, still looking at the girl laying on the ground. The light of the crystal had now fully faded. Slightly behind the girl another girl appeared, wearing a strange uniform of some kind, her black hair moving in the wind. In her hand she held some kind of weapon...its "handle" was very long and at the end was a strangely shaped sharped blade. The person was crying...she held the weapon high over her head and then lowered it again in a graceful and slow motion. As the blade touched the ground, everything went white...and then...black. And the universe...was no more.

The girls and Leo were sitting at the kitchen table. Phoebe had just told them about her nightmare. "Are you sure it wasn´t just a normal dream?", Piper asked. "Not really...but it felt..different. Besides...I had prophetic dreams before.", Phoebe answered. "I think we should look in the Book of Shadows if we can find out something about the weapon you saw", Leo suggested. "Right! Book of Shadows!", Paige said excited. And in a swirl light, the Book of Shadows appeared. Phoebe began searching through the book, after what seemed almost like an eternity she said "Ha! There!", and pointed to a picture. When Leo saw what it was, he had a strange look on his face. "What´s the matter Leo?", Piper asked. Leo seldom looked so horrified. "Are you sure that´s what you saw Phoebe?", he asked. "Sure as can be!", she answered. The whitelighters face now went white. "Ok, stop it!", Piper said, "Will you tell us what´s the matter with you?". Leo answered in a very silent voice "It´s called the Silent Glaive, if it´s ever used...the universe will end." The girls were shocked.

In a dark ally in the city, a strange black ball rose out of the ground and began to grow. Suddenly, with a loud "BANG" it transformed into a gigantic snake. And it had already found something to eat. A little blond woman was walking with her dog nearby. The snake silently and slowly followed behind her. When the poor victim heard a strange noise behind her and turned around, she saw the snake and fainted. The snake opened its gigantic mouth and prepared to attack when suddenly...everything stopped. The charmed ones came running. It was sheer luck that they were near the ally when Phoebe had a vision of the woman being attacked. Phoebe looked at the snake "Ewww...I hate snakes!" "...especially unnatural big ones", Piper added. "Ok, lets blow it...", she didn´t finish. The snake somehow managed to shook off her freeze and began moving toward them. "Ssssstupid girlsss! How dare you to interfffeeere!", it said. "Ok, thats enough! It´s speaking for godsake! What the hell is going on here?", Paige screamed. The snake spit something green and foul smelling in their direction, the girls barley managed to jump out of the way. But the snake just opened her mouth to attack again when suddenly a voice splitted the eerie silence.

"Stop right there! You dare to attack a helpless woman? I am Sailor Moon, and in the name of the moon, I will punish you!" The charmed ones couldn´t believe their eyes..five girls..wearing strange costumes, suddenly stood in the ally. Paige rolled her eyes.."What do they think they do? Talk the monster to death?" The snake turned its head to the girls and thrust forward to attack. "Mars! Flame Sniper!". Phoebe couldn´t believe her eyes. An arrow of red fire came from the hands of one of the girls, a tall black haired one clothed in red, and hit the snake that screamed in pain and stopped its movement. Then suddenly another of the strange girls, a small one with strange blue hair, screamed. The snake had wrapped its tail around her legs and now lifted her in the air. "The eyes, hit it´s eyes!", she managed to scream. "Right!", a girl in yellow clothes said, aimed at the snakes eyes with her index finger and screamed "Cresent Bea..!", she stopped in mid word. The snake had violently smashed her prey on the ground head first. "Ami!", the one called Sailor Moon screamed and seemed to have enough. With a flash of light, a long scepter with a huge red crystal on its top appeared in her hand. She held it high over her head and screamed "SILVER MOON! CRYSTAL POWER....KISS!!" Hundreds of bright yellow beams of energy hit the snake, and with a flash of bright light it vanished. "Yeah! We did it!", Sailor Moon shouted happily. Then she saw Ami lying on the ground. Everyone ran to her. The poor girl lay in a pool of blood. Half of her skull was totally smashed, only a bloody mess was left. Paige threw up and fainted. "Ami!", Sailor Moon screamed, while everyone else stood frozen in shock. Only Piper was able to do something. "LEO!! LEO!", she shouted. In a swirl of blue lights, Leo appeared. Without any hesitation he held its hand over Ami´s head, a golden light glowing out of them. Sailor Moon watched full of hope, she knew everything was gonna be ok. But then the cute man turned to them and shook his head with a sad look in his eyes. "I´m sorry.", he said silently. "She´s dead. I can´t do anything for her."

Sailor Moon let out an earsplitting scream "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!"
