Interlude 4 - Mystery Ancient Power
"Mystery Ancient Power, Make up!"
She felt energy rush through her body, a feeling of almost indescribable power flowed through her mind and soul. Buffy seemed to stand next to her body..she somehow could see herself. Her body was enveloped in violet beams of light, her clothes ripped themselves apart...and new ones appeared. Her hair changed form and color, the blond metamorphing to a dark violet. While she was watching herself transform, she felt memories from centuries ago awaking in her. "No!", she thought "No! I don´t want this! I don´t need an additional destiny. Being the Slayer is hard enough already. Oh please, make it stop! I want to be just a normal girl, I want to be me!!"
But the magic had finished it´s task. She was now wearing a sailor uniform. A black short skirt, a dark violet top, black silk mittens that reached up to her elbows, and on her forehead set a silver tiara with a black diamond. Her hair had grown just over shoulder length.
Sailor Mystery didn´t have much time to look at herself, before the lion jumped into the air to attack. She just jumped right over him and gracefully landed on the ground behind him. This was strange...even with her slayer powers she wouldn´t have been able to do THIS. She jumped on top of the next tree to buy a few seconds, standing there she held her right arm high over her head. "I call upon the power of chaos and mystery!", she said silently. Violet energy began to crackle in her hand. Meanwhile the lion had landed on its feet and turned, and now prepared to jump right at her. "Violet Plasma Sphere!" she shouted, and the energy transformed into a huge wobbling ball of light, that she threw at the monster. The lion screamed in pain as the sphere captured it and shrunk its size...smaller..smaller...smaller. Finally a slight "plop"-sound, and the monster had turned into a little round yellowish crystal. Sailor Mystery smiled. She had done it. She had saved Willow. Then she fell to the ground and everything went black...
The crystal sunk into the ground and vanished.
Darkness smiled as the crystal appeared in its claw. Finally, one of its minions had been successful. It had captured the powers of that witch, and trapped it in its own body. This way it didn´t matter that it was reduced to a little crystal by Sailor Mystery´s power. It even was more convenient. Now Darkness hoped that the woogy man would manage to implant the curse into the princess...
Michiru and Haruka suddenly woke up and noticed that for some reason they had transformed while asleep. And it didn´t take them long to find out why. Their talismans, the mirror and the sword were hovering above them...touching each other and emitting a bright light. "Haruka! They are reacting! Is it only us? Or Pluto´s Garnet Orb too?", Sailor Neptune screamed in horror. Haruka was frightened...her face pale as she answered "If that´s the case then....it´s coming. Darkness is coming. The...end is near, and there is nothing we can do about it." But there was hope...at least a tiny bit. With tears in their eyes Sailor Neptune and Sailor Uranus whispered "Forgive us Princess...", and then changed into two little balls of energy that went through the window and would have been able to be seen move off into the distance for a very long time by any observer.
Somerwhere...at the other end of the galaxy..Sailor Galaxia woke up from her sleep and sighed. This was beginning way to early. She hoped that they would be able to bring light into darkness.
