~*~Chapter 7~*~
All the scouts evaded Malachite's blow, but just barely.
Sailor Venus gasped as Malachite turned from the others to focusing his attention on her only. She shook off her shock and replaced it with a look anger and determination. "What do you want, Malachite?" she asked coldly.
"Well, what do you think?" he asked in mock amusement. "To fight you of course."
"If a fight's what you want then I think I can give one!" she shouted back. "Venus Love Chain...ENCIRCLE!" The chain of hearts lashed out at her opponent. He sidestepped easily and sighed.
"I really hope that this is not the extent of power you've been reincarnated with." Mina growled in response and gritted her teeth.
"Venus Crescent Beam...SMASH!" A flow of gold shot of her forefinger and made its way to Malachite.
"Tisk, tisk. You'll never win like that. It seems you're every bit of an earthling now," Malachite sighed. "I really was looking for a fight with the old you, hoping you'd gotten stronger since last time we met. I suppose not. Oh well, we've been chatting long enough," he said drawing his sword. He brought it up above his head; the metal gleamed in the moonlight. He sliced it through the air with speed that was all but possible. Sailor Venus gasped and dived to the ground rolling out of the way and was left unharmed.
"You won't find this fight so easy as you think," she replied curtly.
Malachite smiled and nodded in appreciation. "I see you still have your agility. Good, good. Maybe this will be an interesting fight after all." He laughed, sending a shiver down the golden girl's spine. He pointed his sword at Sailor Venus in a fighting stance. "Yes, very interesting," he repeated. With that he lunged forward for an onslaught of thrusts, jabs, and slashes, all which the scout dodged gracefully. Watching the scene it all seemed like an intricate dance.
To Sailor Venus it all seemed to be in slow motion, almost as if time was slowing itself down. The sword slashed at her slowly and graceful. She could decipher every flick of Malachite's wrist; see every gleam of the cool metal as it moved swiftly through the night air. In turn she would dodge just as gracefully and fluidly. It continued on like this. Thrust, sway to the side. Slash, arch body backwards. Jab, soar backwards. With every new attack Malachite's eyes gleamed with the intensity of the battle. A droplet of sweat formed on Sailor Venus's forehead as she moved along with Malachite.
*I've never fought like this before* she thought. *Why do I move so in sync with him?* Malachite stopped but the gleam stayed in his eyes.
"Yes, this is Venus. Well at least part of her. She's fighting to come out. Why do you stop her?"
Mina stared at him incredulously. "I have no idea what you're talking about. I AM Venus." Malachite laughed maniacally and she tried to suppress a shiver...unsuccessfully. She couldn't help it. It was just so cold and...inhuman.
"No, silly girl. You are merely the incarnate of her. A shell and nothing more. Though you have her body the spirit is not the same." The scout looked at him and blinked in confusion. Then she set her face in a scowl.
"You're wrong. You know nothing about me!" she shouted.
"Oh, we shall see. Come now, let's get back to that wonderfully enticing battle, hm?"
He looked over to Sailor Venus to find her holding a golden whip in her hands. "Way ahead of you stupid!" she shouted wrapping the chain of hearts around Malachite. The whip crackled and golden energy gathered around Malachite.
Malachite started to growl but was cut short by a scream of agony. The energy was all around him, weakening him by the second. Mina pulled the chain around tighter, bringing another anguished grunt from Malachite's lips.
"This 'shell' has a lot in her, so you better get used to her 'cuz she's here to stay!" Sailor Venus said, holding the other end of the whip, a smug smile on her face.
Malachite grinned back at her through the pain. He spread his arms and shattered the whip. "Yes, that was impressive," he said between pants.
Sailor Venus gasped in shock. No one had ever broken her love chain before.
"Hm, well, maybe there's more of her left than I thought. Either way, you have no chance of winning this battle."
"Venus Crescent Beam...SMASH!" The energy flew out towards Malachite but he dodged easily. "Venus Love Chain...ENCIRCLE!" She lashed out at Malachite and the whip made a cracking noise as it met only air rather than flesh. Venus growled and shouted out her next attack. "Venus Love and Beauty...SHOCK!" She kissed her palm lightly forming a golden heart of energy, which she threw at Malachite. That, too, he dodged easily.
"You see? I know all your attacks. Everything about you."
"Knowing my attacks doesn't mean you know me!" the blonde fumed. "'Cuz you don't know a thing about me!" She jumped in the air, preparing to smash in Malachite's face with a jump-kick. She landed on her feet gracefully as Malachite moved out of the way of the attack. Her whole body stiffened as she felt powerful arms embrace her from behind. You're wrong...Mina."
Mina gasped. "H-how do you know my n-name," she stuttered.
"I told you," he said as a tear of fear running down Mina's face. He leaned in close, resting his chin on her shoulder. "I know everything about you. Everything," he breathed into her ear. With that he disappeared into the night, leaving Mina alone. Her knees collapsed under her and she sank down to the grass, crying into her hands. Tears of bitter anger and fear streamed down her cheeks.
*How could he know all this? How could his embrace paralyze me with fear?* "The embrace felt so familiar...why?" she asked herself out loud. She cried harder as she thought everything out. It was all to confusing. *Why do I feel like I know from somewhere?*
