I don't own any character created by Naoko Takeuchi.....
Prince Orion kept all of this in the back of his mind as he followed Sailor Twilight through the senshi temple and to the teleport chamber. Upon entering the chamber, they discovered that they were no longer in Tokyo; rather they were now in the Negaverse. They made no sound as they explored the corridor, their footsteps almost unheard in the giant hall.
"Which way?" Sailor Twilight asked of Prince Orion.
"To the left, they'll be there, but please, don't ask me about my past life again. I really do not want to be reminded of it." Prince Orion responded, rather coldly. Sailor Twilight nodded and approached the door on their left, slightly offended.
The two stopped just short of the door frame and listened to hear if Lady Nightmare, Death, and Failure were all in there. They heard three voices murmuring, but then all of a sudden, one voice got louder.
"I-want-my-crys-tal-back-now!" Lady Nightmare demanded. Sailor Twilight became invisible and looked inside the room as the tantrum began.
"Shh, Hate will be back anytime now my sweet." Death consoled Lady Nightmare. He was kneeling down in front of her, holding her hand. Failure was pacing the room impatiently, a look of worry on her face.
"He'd better get back soon, or there will be no palace to come back to." Failure murmured under her breath, knowing that if Hate did not return soon, Lady Nightmare would have a fit. If she had a fit, then her power would ruin the palace, and most likely, half the Negaverse.
Queen Beryl was killed by Sailor Moon about nine years ago and as a result, Lady Nightmare's power increased and so had her anger. Lady Nightmare wanted to destroy Queen Beryl herself, but that goody-goody sailor scout beat her to it, thus giving Lady Nightmare yet another reason to hate the sailor senshi.
Lady Nightmare clenched her fists and her face began to turn a deep crimson. She opened her mouth to begin a temper tantrum when Sailor Twilight threw off her invisibility. Then Sailor Twilight and Prince Orion stepped into the room as the three Negaverse monsters gasped.
"Where is Hate? And who are you supposed to be?" Lady Nightmare asked, pointing at Prince Orion.
Prince Orion responded, "I was what you used to call Hate, but now I am Prince Orion, keeper of the stars and protector of the dawn."
"Yeah, and in the name of justice, hope, love, and the twilit sky, I am Sailor Twilight, and your reign of evil is over!" Sailor Twilight added.
"Well, children, I turn sweet dreams into night terrors that will make you scream, I am Lady Nightmare, and my reign has just begun." Lady Nightmare taunted back at the two.
Sailor Twilight took this opportunity to attack. "Stardust Melody!" she yelled as she blew stardust from her palm.
Lady Nightmare easily dodged the attack and shouted "Recurring Nightmare!" pointing at Sailor Twilight. Sailor Twilight sank to the ground, clutching her head with her hands, in excruciating agony.
Images of her friends as slaves to Lady Nightmare and the world in total and utter chaos flashed through Sailor Twilight's mind. She muttered, "No, I'm sorry I failed you. No, stop it! STOP IT! NO!!!" she screamed as Lady Nightmare laughed at Sailor Twilight's pain.
Meanwhile, Prince Orion was battling Failure and Death. "You traitor!" Failure shouted as she launched an orb of energy at him.
"Salvation Shield!" Prince Orion yelled, holding up his shield. The attack hit the shield and bounced off. Death narrowly missed the orb reverberating back at him.
'You'll pay for that you little urchin!" Death yelled as he pulled out his death staff from his cape. Death began to approach Prince Orion, with the simple intent of touching him. For if Death touched something living and pure at heart, it would have all the power drained from it and it would die.
Prince Orion stood there for a moment and then yelled "Starkeeper's Love!" Navy blue light with pink hearts surrounded him. He was protected by the love of Sailor Twilight.
"Aww...How cute. Hate has got himself a girlfriend!" Death taunted, coming closer to Prince Orion.
"I AM NOT HATE!" Prince Orion yelled. In retaliation, Prince Orion brought his sword up and charged at Death, blocking Death's jabs with his staff. The Sword of The Starkeeper glowed with a pale light as it struck the death staff. Prince Orion hit the staff so hard that it broke, shattering into thousands of tiny pieces.
Prince Orion used this time and yelled "Daybreak Slash!" He lifted his sword to the sky, and then brought it down while turning in a circular pattern. The sword cut through Death, and Death disintegrated into a pile of dust. After the dust settled, a dark ebony jewel landed on the top of the pile, it's inner core of light in the shape of the Negaverse moon fading.
Lady Nightmare stopped her torturing of Sailor Twilight and screeched, running towards the pile of dust that was once Death. "Death! Oh no! You shall pay for that, you were my creation, so I can destroy you at my will." she yelled at Prince Orion.
"I am not your creation. Hate was your creation, and I am not Hate. I am Prince Orion, from the side of goodness and love, and my only creator would be the Neo-Eternal Youth Crystal, who gave me life." he corrected of Lady Nightmare. In anger, she threw a bolt of raw Negaverse energy at him, but he dodged it just in time. The bolt instead hit Failure, who was standing behind Prince Orion watching the scene.
"Aiiiieeeee!!" Failure screamed as she faded away. Not a trace was left of her, nothing except a black armband, which signaled her enslavement. Not giving in so easily, Lady Nightmare prepared another, even stronger beam of energy and readied to throw it at Prince Orion.
