Standard disclaimer. Sailor Moon is not mine, the idea and the show belong to people much richer than I. Please don't sue!

Dimmer however is mine.. of course if someone wants to use him or any of his transformations for ANY reason "thbbt" go ahead. You have my complete and total permission. I only request you tell me… Hell, I don't care if you don't tell me, it's not like I could find you anyway.

Warning: mild language, also this is my first fic. Maybe some lime sometime in the far future, but I seriously doubt it.

Zoicite smirked at the scouts. "Don't think you've won yet scouts. You and your friends are about to pay the ultimate price for daring to take on the glorious Negaverse. Braxx, Grydge, attack."

The two rock soldiers grunted and charged the scouts with a deafening sound as their feet made large craters in the ground from so much weight moving so quickly. They reminded someone of an oncoming train.

Tuxedo Mask realized that two of the scouts were seriously injured and they now had an unconscious girl to protect. "So this was their tactic… wait until they had healed the girl for a full head on attack. That way the girl would limit our options to strike. Brilliant! Sailor Moon, your Tiara!"

"No good Tuxedo mask! These guys just fend it off with the hammers and than the hammer regenerates."

"But without their hammers they're pussy cats" Sailor Mars called out.

"That's all I needed to hear," Daybreak grabbed the rifle on his back and turned it to grenade launcher mode. "Sailor Moon whenever the hammers are broken get ready with that tiara thing monkey boy over there was talking about."

At that the two guys attacked the rock men charging toward them.

It was than to everyone's horror Zoicite called out, " Ha! You didn't think I'd make it that easy for you did you? Scytherslash, now!"

A demon like creature emerged from the shadows to face the girls from behind. Its sickening greenish color, was almost as gruesome as its over extended bottom jaw that was lined with row after row of razor sharp teeth. It walked on two legs, and it had two arms looking much like it had a human looking skeletal system, its arms were crossed over its chest with large swords extended from each. It's over extended jaw made it always look like it wore a very maniacal grin. It attacked.

It went straight for Sailor Moon who was trying to keep somewhat attention on the fighting between Tuxedo Mask and Daybreak with the rock monsters. With this distraction she didn't stand a chance. It moved with a speed of the shadows themselves.

One strike turned into three to four to six. All just bare misses grazing her skin leaving small trickles of blood on several parts of her legs, and arms. One trimming her hair. Despite their wounds Jupiter and Mars jumped into the battle for Sailor Moon's life. Mercury was trying to assess the situation. Lacking any magical attacks she was forced to look to the area around and try to come up with some sort of quick plan. She saw the pipes that the dead lizards tripped on. "It's obvious its focus is speed" she thought frantically, "we need to slow it down, maybe with those pipes?"

Mercury finally jumped into the battle against the newest youma, supplying not much more than a distraction and a new target. The scouts all received grazing blows one after another. Despite the four people on it, it was still on the offensive, not giving any time for strikes back against it.

Mars came in with an uppercut, and nearly got her hand chopped off, than she came in with a leg sweep and nearly lost her leg. "This is ridiculous!" She thought panic stricken, "We're getting no where! All were doing now is tiring ourselves out." Mercury wasn't that much of a fighter, but her agility was equal to that of most of the other scouts. She spent her time mostly dodging, but when she was close enough she whispered her plan to Mars. Mars assumed she had done the same to Sailor Moon and Jupiter. She had to admit, it might work long enough to back off and get some ranged attacks in. They were trying to lead the battle over that way, but with it always on the offensive, it was herding them to where it wanted to go. The tide never seemed to shift. The thing was quite literally a tornado of attacks.

He ran. He ran as hard as he could. The exhaustion was ignored and all that mattered was to continue sprinting at a speed he was no longer sure of. The scenery blurred around him as he closed his eyes to try to exert himself more. To bring himself to his limits, to bring himself beyond them. He rocketed through the sidewalks knocking over whatever unfortunate newspaper stand, or person that stood in the way. The only thing he acknowledged was the feeling of the scouts in trouble. Hurt, because of "his" breaking of fate, because "he" couldn't protect them. The feeling grew until there was only that feeling, the vague awareness of building corners, people, and a few things in his path that might dare to try to slow him down, and the running.

"At last," he closed in on the construction yard. He didn't notice Tuxedo Mask mocking the rock creatures into anger, and into predictable attacks. He didn't notice Daybreak duct taping some kind of explosive to one of the distracted creature's back and jumping away. All he saw was the creature attacking his friends. His friend's blood dripping down their arms and soaking through their clothing. The above lamp keeping the area well lit was hit by some of the shrapnel from an exploding rock creature, turning off over Dimmer.

He snapped.

With some kind of roar bread from an instinct to kill, and to protect. He ran at the creature.

Mars felt the sting of dark cursed steel slash against her face. Than a gust of wind went past. She blocked her eyes from the dust storm that suddenly sprayed the surrounding area. When she could finally see what was happening it was, needless to say, hard to believe. Dimmer's fists rang out like gunshots against the flats of the thing's bladed hands. Blow for blow, strike for strike. Dimmer obviously didn't notice the blood pouring out from his newly acquired injuries.

"Something's wrong! He can't move that fast! No human could inflict enough damage with their fists to make a Negaverse creature flinch, let alone beat it to a pulp.

Suddenly a black aura began to form around Dimmer. The black tendrils of energy gathered around his face, his head snapped back hard as if it were suddenly yanked back so hard it looked like whatever had caused it had broke his neck. A muffled scream of pain came from Dimmer, as a black scarf seemed to form and strangle him. His eyes dilated into 1/8 of their original size as a look of agony washed over him. His denim covering literally seemed to explode off of him, leaving his skin clad in black energy, surrounding him and turning into black leather gloves, and trenchcoat, a dress shirt, and leather pants. He stood up and drew a circle in the air, a blue outline of light followed his finger. Than as if balancing on his finger the blue light started spinning. Some how it turned into a wide brimmed cowboy hat that he placed on his head. Dimmer had transformed. Nightfall had come, and Sundown had finally arrived.

The strange creature looked at this new challenge to its being. The girls it could've took on easily, but this new creature ignored the pain inflicted upon it. Every strike it used Scytherslash could feel its bones popping and breaking. All this new creature seemed to care about was the kill it wanted. If it could've frowned it might have than. It had a killer instinct meant to destroy whatever it considered its prey. The Scytherslash too, had this primal urge, but it wasn't as in tuned with it as this creature was. If this was the first fight it had against such a creature as this it would almost definitely lose, but Scytherslash had survived in the dark ages of the lower dimensional nightmare planes. Many creatures had it fought down there. Against this type of creature, only one tactic could be used. Though they do not suffer from pain they still suffer the effects of blood loss, and injury. It had to attack the creatures limbs to survive this battle. The Scytherslash's eyes gleamed with delight, and it attacked the now black-clothed quarry.

Sundown looked toward his oncoming enemy. It would be destroyed. He took it at ramming speed. He slammed his fists into its chest to feel its ribcage break apart. It took the blow willingly!

The creature brought its bladed arms up into Sundown's shoulders. Sundown backed off than went back for more, trying for another deathblow. This time he went for its temples, but his movements were slow as the wounds to his arms prevented his normal reflexes from taking effect. The creature than took to Sundown's knees, slicing them both in a single stroke. Sundown fell unto what was left of his knees looking up to see the creature standing triumphantly above him its swords doing a scissors technique meaning to decapitate him.

"Mercury Bubbles Blast!" The area around the creature was suddenly covered in fog. It looked about in surprise, and when it looked back down, its victim was gone. It screamed out in rage, being robbed from its kill.

"Mars Fire Ignite!"

The creature burst into flames and flew into the pile of pipes.

"Jupiteeeerrrrrr…." It looked behind itself to see the green scout charging her thunder attack. It quickly got to its feet, and charged the young girl. It stepped on one of the pipes and slipped backwards. Before it even could land on its butt Jupiter finished her attack.

"Supreme Thunder Crash!"

It was blasted out of the area smacking against a rock soldier that hardly noticed its existence. It turned to see what had hit it, it shrugged as it stepped on the Scytherslash's head with a sickening crunch, as it turned back to face the man with the black cape. It looked to its fellow soldier. It wasn't sure just what had caused the blast that destroyed the majority of its friends upper half, but that was war. His friend still stood. It only had one arm and its hammer, and ¼ of its head the rest looked like some one mistaked him for a cookie and took a big bite.

"Zoicite. I believe now would be a good time to retreat with the crystal."

"What happened Talenite? Everything was perfect!"

"We were taken by surprise and ambushed my general. Also it seems we have misjudged the prowess of the scouts. I expected the lizards to be more than enough to take them on. Also This new ally of their's Daybreak was unknown to us at the time of making the plan. Many surprises came into play today General, but none in our favor. Let us go back, Queen Beryl will be pleased to have another crystal, and we have gathered much information for the next attack. I will begin summoning more creatures from the Lower Dimensional Planes as soon as possible."

"Very well." Zoicite looked pleased. Despite the way of the battle, they managed to land the first real punches against the Sailor Scouts on this night. "Continue to play to your hearts content scouts, Death awaits you all the next time we meet." At that Zoicite teleported away laughing, with Talenite following not far behind.

"Sailor Moon!" Tuxedo Mask called out whipping in and around the rock soldier, leaving it no time to swing at him. He looked over to see Daybreak going too slow to avoid the fast reflex of the one armed rock man still trying to pound them. He dodged around its legs, grabbed Daybreak and jumped to the roof of the supervisor's trailer.

Sailor Moon had already flung her tiara at the still fully formed soldier. It screamed out in pain before turning into moon dust. It was carried away by a strong wind that decided it wanted some company with it as it traveled the world.

The 2/3 of a live rock soldier roared on in rage trying to get up to where the man in black cape had stolen its victim. Dropping its hammer with its one arm it punched a hole through the wall of the supervisor's trailer. It tore the wall out, leaving a view of the supervisor hiding his head underneath his bed with his blue nightshirt, and red heart spotted boxer shorts. He looked up to see the deformed rock monster, screamed and managed to squeeze the rest of himself under the bed.

The Rock man threw the wall at the two on top of the trailer. Tuxedo Mask just gathered up Daybreak again and jumped away. While being carried, Daybreak pulled out one of his pistols and shot. The creature screeched in pain as Daybreak managed to shoot out the only eye it had left.

"Moon Tiara Magic!" The group watched as the final enemy of that night dissolved into something you could clean up with a broom and dustpan. The four that escaped any major injuries, Daybreak, Tuxedo Mask, Sailor Moon, and Sailor Mercury helped the others to their feet. Sailor Moon helped Sailor Jupiter onto her feet. Jupiter smiled in thanks.

Tuxedo Mask, in an amazing display of caring simply by sticking around to help out, lifted Mars to her feet. She looked up to see her crush holding her in his arms. He smiled at her from under his mask. She looked closely. It was a nice smile, but she realized, that it wasn't the one she was hoping to see. She remembered the sad, happy smile from Greg's face, yet from someone different. From a man named Valor.

She looked over to Dimmer. Dimmer is exactly who he was at this point. Somewhere throughout the whole time he had changed back to the kind, strange, denim-wearing boy. She watched as his face crinkled up at his surroundings. The dead lay everywhere. Crushed by beams, turned to dust, burnt and rotting. There was no smile there. Only shadows covered that face as he continued to kneel on bruised knees. Bruises were all that was left of the same kneecaps were cut off on Sundown. He made a sound. It was not a pleasant one. His breathing became haggard, than he threw up. It just kept coming for the next five minutes. The blood on his jeans due to the puddle of blood that he as Sundown left there only moments before. The blood covering some of his best friends, the blood pooling together from many of the dead corpses surrounding the area, the stench of burnt flesh that crept up his nose.

The pain, the loss of life, the horrible feeling of vengeance achieved, it was all so sickening. He could feel tears start to well up in his eyes. He wasn't too worried. He wouldn't cry, he never did. This was as close as he had come in what? 6? 7 years? His body heaved as his puke mixed in with the blood at his knees.

When he was through Daybreak picked up his friend and looked around for himself. Twenty lizards, two rock men and some type of sword wielding thing with a crushed skull lie dead. Police sirens could be heard in the distance. It had been a hard night for everyone. It was time to go home.

Chad took off his coat and glasses and pistols, etc. tucking them into the back of the bike. (He took apart the rifle)

"You feeling alright now Dimmer?" He asked while getting on the bike. Dimmer followed suit getting on behind him.

"Yeah, Chad I'll be fine."

"Yeah, that was definitely gruesome!" Chad was laughing.

"Couldn't agree more," Dimmer mumbled behind him as they took off into the setting sun towards the temple.

That night at the temple.

Dimmer looked at the clock its blue glow illuminating the small area around it.

"2:00 am." He sighed. It didn't look like he would get much sleep tonight either. So he got up and picked up his favorite jeans, shirt, jacket, and backpack.

He snuck into Chad's room to see his friend peacefully sleeping. He grabbed his keys and walked down the hall. Rei had left her door partially open again. He wondered if that meant she was gone to a meeting with her friends. He checked inside to see her sleeping soundly. He turned to leave. "Seems everyone's able to sleep tonight, 'cept me," He thought to himself silently. He turned back to Rei watching her stomach as she breathed in and out.

"That same stomach was nearly gutted today," He thought to himself. "Glad you're alright Rei." He whispered. He nodded to himself than left sliding the door shut silently.

He walked out to the bike, taking it out from under its tarp. He got on started the engine and took off toward the red light district.

Rei lie in bed silently. She was having trouble sleeping when she heard the door to her room open a bit and a presence slip in. It wasn't hard to feel Dimmer's aura now. It was familiar to her. They hadn't been able to speak after they departed from the construction site. The girls had seen to the painter while Dimmer had gone to the police station to tell Pidge and John what had occurred.

She wondered what he wanted, so she feigned sleep waiting for him to wake her up. Instead she felt him turn to leave. She was a little disappointed. It would have been the first time Dimmer had started a conversation since he had gotten his memory back. She wondered what it was in his past that stopped him from spilling it.

She felt him come back to lean over her. She suddenly thought that feigning sleep might not have been such a good idea anymore.

"Glad to see you're alright Rei."

She sighed inwardly. He was just checking to see if she was alright. She heard her door close and unconsciously put one hand over her stomach feeling the scar there. It would disappear in a day or so, like the last ones she was sure, but she forgot the last time Dimmer had seen her was when Tuxedo Mask helping her walk. She wondered what Dimmer was doing. Was he going to train some more? She decided to get out of bed to berate him. They had to talk about stuff anyway. This whole business of Sundown and Valor still had to be cleared up. She got up to see Dimmer with his backpack, out the window, taking off down the street on the Harley he and Chad went splits on.

"He's leaving." She said quietly. She blinked. "He's leaving!" She grabbed her coat and ran out the door and out onto the street to see the motorcycle nearly out of view. Their was a taxi with the off duty sign parked across the street.

The cabby was eating a sandwich when the raven-haired girl jumped into the backseat.

"After that car!"

"Hey girl can't you read the…" He had turned to stare straight into the eyes of a glaring Rei.

Dimmer took a right off the express way, now heading toward the Tokyo Tower. He parked the bike for a minute just to look up at the great heights of it. He got a little dizzy thinking he had fallen from it. Truthfully it wasn't a memory he wanted to revisit.

"More pain. More Blood. I don't wanna think about it." He got back onto the road taking off toward a garden park he had seen earlier. He didn't notice the cab following behind.

Rei paid the cabby who took off as soon as she let him. She walked into the garden after Dimmer had entered. She was getting tired. It was easily 6:00 am. Now. She had to pay the cab a bundle. Dimmer had driven aimlessly for a long time before stopping and was hard to keep track of. She had to let the cabby go than, she didn't have hardly another cent to spare. She wondered again why she had decided to try to follow Dimmer. It was obvious he wasn't leaving as she first thought. He had left a lot of stuff behind, but she continued to follow behind anyway.

Dimmer had walked to the very edge of the park and jumped up into a tree over looking the harbor. He sat on the branch watching the sky start to lighten. It wouldn't be a great sunrise. The sky was dark gray and covered with clouds. It was pure dismal. Yet he sat there breathing in the salt air, smiling in the soft breeze letting it blow back the bangs from his face. He was happy, in a sort of blissful state. He didn't realize how much he missed the salt sea air from his atlantic home.

His home. Here he was half a world and dimensions away from of it. He missed his island. He wished he could just see it. To say goodbye. He shook his head. Here he had a home too though. Rei, Chad, Sensai, friends, these things made up his home now. The Cape Breton he knew, he had left behind in yesterday. Tomorrow was a new day in a new home in a world he always wanted to visit. Cape Breton was still in his memories, and there it would remain forever.

Slowly softly he sang

How do I

say good bye

To what we had?

The good times

that made us laugh

Are way behind

I thought we'd get to see forever

But forever is gone away

It's so hard to say good bye to yesterday

I don't know

where this road

is going to lead

All I know

is where we've been

and what we've been through

If we get to see tomorrow

I hope it's worth all the wait

It's so hard to say good bye to yesterday

Dimmer smiled cheerfully. In a much happier tone than the rest he stared up at the sky he finished.

And I'll take with me the memories

To be my sunshine after the rain

It's so hard to say good bye to yesterday

And I'll take with me the memories

To be my sunshine after the rain

It's so hard to say good bye to yesterday.

Rei looked on in wonder at a smile that didn't take her more than a second to recognise. No wonder it seemed so familiar. It was in her face day after day. Lately though it had lost the happiness that made it the same one that was on Greg's face as Valor spoke. Dimmer faked happiness so much since he regained his memory, but here all the feelings he kept hidden had come out. She could see a wet line trail down his cheek, as he stared up at a dark gray sky. Rei wished she could do something. Something to make everything alright. She wasn't sure why she understood the words of the song. It was english, but she understood without even thinking about it. Dimmer was homesick, and giving up on seeing it again.

She climbed the tree bringing herself to the same branch Dimmer was on.

"REI!?"

"Shh. Quiet down, Dimmer." She managed to squeeze in beside him.

"Rei? What are you doing here?" He said trying to move the bangs of his hair that had fallen back down in his eyes. due to Rei blocking the breeze.

"What do you think?" She huffed sticking her nose up in the opposite direction of him, still peering over through the corners of her eyes. "You sneak into my room unannounced, leave my door wide open, take off in the middle of the night, drive for hours and come here all by yourself?"

Dimmer sweat dropped while scratching the tip of his head, "I thought I closed your door…"

"A ha! I knew you went into my room! Hentai!"

"No! … I mean.. I … uh.. aw crap." Dimmer scrunched close his eyes waiting for the blow that he knew was coming. Instead of the punch he thought was coming though, all she did was flick him in the nose while he had his eyes closed while trying not to laugh.

"Hey!"

"Relax Dimmer. I was awake. I heard you, you were just checking up on me. Now here let me see this."

"Agh! No! not the hair! Anything but the hair!" He wimpered.

"Oh, stop being such a sook and hold still."

Dimmer sat there with a horrified look as Rei braided his bangs.

"Here hold this for a second." Dimmer gave her a flat look.

"Hold it!" She picked up his hand planted the braid into it than started digging through her purse. "Now where are they I know they were.. Aha!"

She held out two gold colored hair clasps. She started at his hair again. "Dimmer?"

"Dimmer looked from his hair to her and back to his hair again and wimpered.

Rei giggled, "Dimmer, really. Just let me finish this, I've been wanting to try it. Now listen to me."

He looked up.

"Now, I don't know about your past, you won't tell me., but I don't want you to do something like this again."

Dimmer looked at her as if to ask something like "what?"

Rei sighed. "It's not THAT confusing Dimmer. I don't want you sneaking away at night like this. I got up to see you taking of on that damn bike of yours and Chads. I got worried and followed you out here."

"Huh?' Dimmer was confused. He would do this all the time back at home. No one had ever cared. They asked why a couple times, but no one ever told him not to go.

"Dimmer, I haven't known you for very long. And only for about half a week have I known you when you could even remember your name. But I do know this. You don't want to be alone. You never do. Your bench was surrounded by people night and day, You're consttantly working with people with all your jobs. I don't think you can sleep, half the time because you're in your own room."

Dimmer stared at Rei. She was right. The life he lived here was the opposite of the one he lived on Cape Breton. He was always happy and cheerful here, surrounded by friends. There he was scorned, and dismissed. People would wonder about him, but no one ever cared enough to go and see for themselves. No one would ever come to get him, to simply bring him back. His friends mostly thought of it as a quirk and left it at that. They knew he went up there to think, and simply let him.

"Dimmer, I thought you had left us. You're part of our family now okay? So don't go running off without telling anybody. Okay?"

"Okay Rei." Dimmer was simply staring in awe at her as she finished up with his hair, "I promise Rei. I promise never to go off without telling you."

In moments she had finished braiding up his bangs on both sides.

"Good. There, now they won't get in you're eyes."

Dimmer leaned his head forward to get a better look. There the two gold colored hair clasps hung weighing down the normally free to roam bangs, that would go wherever they wanted for what ever reason. Now they were tied down, for the better good. "All simply because of those hairclasps," He thought as he turned to look at Rei who had leaned on his shoulder and fallen asleep from the long night.

He looked up at the dark gray clouds in the sky that were now pinkening from the sunrise. He thought about the future. And for the first time in a while he thought about it optimistically. "Maybe…" he whispered as the sun's light managed to break through the clouds sparkling brightly over the water, "Just maybe…."

Saailor Moon: "Wow we really did it! Thanks to the help of a few friends!" *shows clips of Tuxedo mask holding the knife hurled at Sailor Moon.

Clip of Daybreak showing up on Harley

Clip of Dimmer fighting Scytherslash*

"Thanks a lot guys!"

"Today Dimmer was feeling a little homesick, but can you blame him? He came from a completely different dimension! His family and friends are so far away! But we are his friends too aren't we Rei?"

*shows clip of Rei smiling as she braided his bangs*

"Sometimes its hard to be so far away, but no matter where you go you'll always have friends and family that care for you at home. So keep smiling"

"Sailor Moon says!" She giggled.

Reality:

DiC entertainment was getting calls from all over. What were they doing to the Sailor Moon show every one watched and loved?! Jamie at the head office had his hands full. What the hell was going on? The writers and artists all sit stunned as their show took off without them at the wheel. It was getting paid for doing nothing, but they couldn't figure out what was going on. Was someone pirating all airtimes of Sailor Moon and putting their own version in the time slot? Impossible they had made schedule changes every day for a week. Not to mention the years of work that would have to be done just to animate this. Sailor Moon had become brutal and violent, it was now rated 13 and over and the censors were arguing over making it higher.

"All this and now the police." Jamie sighed. The police had just gotten off the phone with him, the Dimmer in the show that was flying out of control happened to ressemble an anime freak from Cape Breton that went missing awhile back without a trace other than it looked like a tornado hit their living room that is. Just like the show…. It almost made him wonder. Yet such things were impossible…

"Great now the police think I'm insane. They can see for themselves for all I care." He wondered just how he was going to get through all this…

Endnotes: Hahaahaahaah! I've updated again. I've been having a few problems with my uploading so please don't kill me just tell me where mistakes are and I'll have 'em all fixed up.
