****************************************************************

"That's right. Reek havoc my silver children." The Silver Warrior replied darkly to the creatures below her destroyed and scared people. The creatures were not much to look at. Though each one was different in appearance. Lexa had chosen the first Feuerdämon from her own army. All in all it was somewhat human in appearance but its eyes and hair sparkled brilliant icy silver as if caught on fire. The only distinguishing aspect that could be made out while the rest was covered in dull lead silver. The other one Feurdämon was in a brilliant fiery red that could even shame Mars' Fire.

"Where are those scouts? They should be here by now." The silver figure gestured irritably.

"Hope we didn't keep you waiting too long, Negaverse Lackey!" The voice of Sailor Jupiter filled the street in classic Sailor Scout timing.

"What the." The silver figure looked across and in a flash.the sailor scouts appeared. Jupiter, Mars, Mercury and Venus faced her from across the street.

"We are the Sailor Scouts!" they screamed in unison.

"And I am Tuxedo Mask, bringer of justice to evil such as you." Tuxedo Mask replied taking his position on another building beside the one the Sailor Scouts occupied.

"Ahh the fabled court of Serenity. It will be a pleasure to destroy you." The lady in silver replied, smiling darkly and a glint of pleasure appearing in her eyes at what will be taking place.

"Who are you? How dare you bring your minions here to attack these innocent people?" Rae stepped forward revealing why she is the Sailor of Fire.

"I am Lexa, impudent little girl. Dämons, attack!!!" Lexa screamed to her minions below.

The Feuerdämons raised their heads as they stopped their terrorizing on a building they had damaged. The sailor scouts got into their battle stances awaiting the creatures' wrath. The red creature's eyes seemed to glow a fiery crimson before what could only be describe her hair flaring up like a volcano. The creature's red hair flared up like strands of flame, gathering strength and flaring up higher and higher. Mars looked in wonder at the creature's powers as Mercury was taking readings on this new enemy.

The creature's eyes glowed once more as it scream unleashing a stream of crimson flames towards the girls. Mars was already on top of that.

"Mars Fire's Ignite!" she screamed using her older powers.

The two fire streams crashed into each other but to Mars' dismay and shock her fire was losing the battle. She called up on her sacred planet to help her and focus her strength. At that moment her Mar's flames ignited stronger then ever alas they were not as strong as the Feuerdamon's who's own flamed grew in strength. Beads of sweat from the heat and mental/physical focus that Mar's was igniting encased her brow.

She wasn't going to be beaten by her own element.

"Mars!" Mercury yelled at her above the fires' blasts. "You can't keep this up."

"Then do something!" she screamed back, her level of concentration breaking for a mere second.

It was enough.

Her fire's blast diminished slightly and the Crimson Dämon's upped her attack drawing ever so closer to the figure of Mars.

Mars continued her efforts and regained her concentration, unleashing her mental and physical strength into her attack, just barely keeping the others flames from her.

The other scouts took to action. However the other Damon decided to at that moment join in the attack unleashing its own kind of fire that resembled that of her counterpart's yet the only difference was that it was in icy silver flames. The Damon attacked Jupiter and Venus but the two Sailor Scouts jumped to safety leaving Mercury still beside Mars. Mercury continued to tap into her computer until it beeped. "That's it!" she said to herself.

Mars didn't hear her this time. All her efforts were still in trying to maintain her fires.

"Mercury Aqua Rhapsody!" Mercury screamed as her powers came to life and the waters of Mercury took to life in harmonious streams racing towards the nega-creature.

The creature didn't notice in time the other stream of power that was racing towards it. The power of mercury crashed into the creature from its side knocking it into the far wall. Its crimson fire dying and Mars falling to her knees as her own fires vanished, was exhausted but thankful of the respite. Mars looked below to where the creature was thrown back towards the wall. Mercury's powers was still surrounding and driving into the creature.

"Are you okay Mars?" Mercury asked kneeling beside her.

"I'm okay Mercury. Did you take care of that creature?" Mars asked.

"My computer analyzed the creature. I was sure that maybe water would take care of it but I didn't know what intensity until my computer rallied the information to me. So yes I think I did." She said in her technical mannerism.

"I don't think so scouts." The Silver Lady stated from across from them, laughing.

The girls looked below as the creature stood up without even a scratch on it.



Meanwhile the other creature led the other scouts into another area that was void of people.

"Venus Love and Beauty Shock!" Venus cried.

"Jupiter Oak Evolution!" Jupiter cried in unison.

The two powers merged into one as it dove into the creature. On contact the powers exploded into the creature knocking it backwards. The Scouts thought it was finished but remained in their stances waiting. The creature of silver stood up as well without a mark on her.

"Oh. I think we are in trouble Venus." Jupiter remarked as Venus nodded in agreement.



Tuxedo Mask remained where he was. He had tried to study the creatures' power from a distance, waiting for his chance to strike. However he had witnessed the girls attacks and they didn't even dent. What could he do? He heard a laugh from across the street. The Silver Lady known as Lexa had her eyes on Mars and Mercury. Maybe he couldn't handle the creatures but maybe with surprise on his side he may be able to take down the leader.

Grabbing his cane in anticipation with one hand and his other pulling out his fabled rose, he went into his attack stance and with a single breath he lunged into the air right towards the silver figure. In a fluid motion he through a bunch of roses hoping they would find their way to their enemy.

Lexa had seen the masked man's attempt and with a raise of her hand, several silver fire darts appeared. With a gesture of her hand the darts raced across towards the roses. When they made contact the roses turned into ice and dropped and shattered on the streets below. With another gesture the Silver Lady produced a beam that broke from her and caught Darien in its grasp, encasing him in ice.

The scouts watched in horror as Darien's icy form tumbled to the street to meet his rose's fate.



"Darien. NO!!!!!" Serena's voice rose up from the streets as she had seen the entire incident. It had taken her a few minutes to race downtown. But she was a fast runner from her years of being late and having to race to school every morning.

Serena stood below and watched in horror as her beloved's form fell to the earth.

The moments seemed to standstill all of a sudden. One moment there was Darien's form racing to its shattering death. In another, Darien's form disappeared.

"What is going on?" Lexa's voice rose up a notch or two. She may not have known what happened to the masked man but she was going to make sure the scouts were eliminated.

"Dämons finish off the scouts. NOW!"

The Crimson Feuerdämon, at her command, rose in the air as if it had wings. Once more its eyes glowed as its hair came alive once more. Mercury and Mars knew this was going to be then end. Nothing was hotter then the fires' of Mars and if Mercury's Rhapsody had no effect. What were they going to do?

From across the street, Venus and Jupiter were thrown clear across, landing about a hundred meters from Serena. Serena was going to come to their aid, however Jupiter's voice was clear and harsh. "Stay there, Serena." Jupiter and Venus stood up slowly. Scratches were evident but they were alive. Serena was going to go to them anyways when the other Dämon appeared, blocking Serena from the scouts.

Serena stood her ground with her locket in hand. "You can't Serena. You can't transform. You will be powerless." Luna's voice appeared in her shattered mind.

Both Serenity and Serena had watched in horror as Darien disappeared. She looked at her locket. If Serenity was part of her consciousness now, could she use the silver crystal?

Luna had claimed that Serena had to transform into Sailor Moon before she could use it. Wasn't she the Moon Princess in either form? Luna had told her yes and no. But had not stated anything more.

Grasping her locket she stood her ground. She prayed. Please Silver Crystal grant me the use of your powers.both her and her past self asked.

"No!!!!" a scream tore into Serena's prayer. Looking up she saw at that moment the Crimson Dämon power up to unleash its power at Mercury and Mars. Closing her eyes at the sight she waited. Move scouts she screamed in her mind. However, Mercury wasn't going to leave Mars. Mars was too weak to even attempt to move and there was no time for Mercury to grab a hold of Mars to leap to safety.

Opening her eyes again she was in time to see the crimson fires rise up to engulf the scouts and finish them in one swift blow.



To be continued.
