The act begins at a park's amphitheater in Kyoto during the latter part of the afternoon. The scenery's frozen within a time warp as clashes and explosions resonate around the scene. Sailor Uranus and a human shaped black aura can be seen doing battle on the stage.
Uranus: Who are you? Show yourself!
Hectus: You don't need to know... You'll be gone in a few moments anyways!
Uranus: Give me back Sailor Neptune! Giver her back!
Sailor Uranus's face fills up with tears and hate.
Uranus: GIVE MICHIRU BACK! WORLD! SHAKING!
She desperatly fires her attack towards the black aura. The ball of energy passes through Hectus's body without phasing him.
Hectus: Pathetic...
Uranus, overcome with her emotions, continues to attack Hectus.
Uranus: WORLD SHAKING!
The attack passes through Hectus again.
Uranus: World Shaking!
The attack misses.
Sailor Uranus's voice and concentration began to give away, as her feelings became more intense.
Uranus: ... Damn it! Please... World Shaking...
Hectus's body opens up and the ball of energy passes right through.
Hectus: Done?
The dark aura watches Uranus as she falls on her knees, overwhelmed by her feelings and inability to defeat the evil that stood in front of her.
Hectus: Now then... GYAAAH!
A huge wave of energy bursts out of Hectus's eye. Uranus, after loosing all hope, positions herself motionlessly with her head pointing upwards. She stares silently into the sky as tears rolled down her cheeks.
(Flashback)
Earlier that day at an apartment complex somewhere in Kyoto.
The bathroom door swings open. Michiru walks out wearing a fine white silk dress. Although one would be pleased to wear such a dress, Michiru wasn't. Her face expression depicts that something was troubling her. Outside on the couch sat Haruka reading a magazine.
Haruka sets down her magazine and looks up at Michiru.
Haruka: My my... arn't we the dazzler today.
Haruka smells a pleasant new perfume around Michiru.
Haruka: (Sniff Sniff) And is that new perfume I smell?
Michiru responds with a troubled tone.
Michiru: Oh, Haruka...
Haruka notices the troublesome expression on Michiru's face.
Haruka: What's the matter?
Michiru reaches for her mirror and walks over to the couch. She sits down next to Haruka.
Michiru: Haruka?
Haruka: Yes?
Michiru: Are you coming to my violin performance today?
Haruka stunned for a moment replied with an confused stare..
Haruka: Of course... why wouldn't I come? What brings you to ask me that?
Michiru: (Sigh) I'm not sure... but...
Harula: What is it?
Michiru: Recently... I feel empty... I'm feeling a negative presence... somewhere... out there...
She looks at her mirror.
Haruka: Now that you've mentioned it...
She strenches out her arms and lies back on the couch.
Haruka: I've been having a similar feeling as well... recently...
Michiru: My mirror isn't telling me anything though...
Haruka: But our insticts are...
Michiru stands up and walks towards her violin case and picks it up. She stares at her violin for a moment and whispers to herself.
Michiru: I don't like this feeling...
She looks back up at Haruka. Her eyes had a serious glitter to it.
Michiru: I mean, I really don't like it.
Haruka stares back with the same serious stare.
Haruka: I know...
Later that day at the park's ampitheater, a huge audience gathered to watch Michiru play her masterpiece on stage. Haruka sat in the front role. As her performance went on, Michiru's usual cool personality, slowly dwindled. Her face was sweaty and she started to breath hard. Haruka notices Michiru's unusual behavior and connects her mind telepathically with Michiru.
Haruka: Michiru... what's wrong?
Michiru: I feel the sea wailing in pain. Haruka... It's near.
Haruka: What's ne...
Then all of a sudden the scenery freezes. A dark aura steams out of the ground and moves towards the frozen Michiru.
Hectus: So she's Sailor Neptune... interesting.
Hectus snaps his finger, releasing Michiru from the time warp. Michiru falls to the ground trembling. She slowly looks up at the lightless figure. Her pupils shrunk as her eyes grew wide.
Michiru: This power... it's... it's... so cold...
She looks around the ampitheater and sees everyone, including Haruka, frozen solid. She looks back at Hectus.
Michiru: I see, this is how you've been pulling your deeds off. By freezing time... you take your targets out stealthly without anyone noticing by breaking the greatest taboo...
Hectus: Haahaha... you're perspective.
Michiru slowly stands up.
Michiru: And I'm guessing I'm your next target.
Hectus smirks and sinks into the ground. The shadow slides closer to Michiru, then reformed itself right in front of her. Hectus stares directly into her eyes.
Hectus: Bingo.
Michiru jumps back.
Michiru: Well... I'm not going down without a fight! NEPTUNECRYSTAL POWER!
She quickly transforms as Hectus prepares to attack.
Hectus: Now feel the burn!
A wave of evil energy travels out of Hectus's eye and flows towards Neptune. She quickly reacts by jumping upwards.
Neptune: NEPTUNE! DEEP SUBMERGE!
The planet shaped energy ball travels towards Hectus's dark aura. Hectus's eye smirked a bit and welcomed the attack with arms wide open. The energy ball ran right through Hectus's body, without even phasing him. Hectus closes its eye and laughs.
Hectus: HAHAHA! You think you can hurt me with...
Hectus looks up and sees a mirror shoved in his face.
Neptune: Lets see how much you'll enjoy this! SUBMARINE REFLECTION!
Hectus twiches a little as his power grew weaker.
Neptune: Physical attacks might not hurt you, but this light from your own image will!
Hectus: Gah... Time to get serious with you!
Hectus quickly intensifies the aura surrounding himself. Like a black hole, all matter and energy that was near Hectus, was pulled towards the eye on His chest. The energy that was smashed together created a huge dark energy barrier.
Neptune: What's going on! EEEEEEEEEKK!
The pure force resonating within Hectus, blew Sailor Neptune straight into the sky.
(Crack)
Neptune: (Gasp)
She turns her mirror around and sees a huge crack streaming from the top to the bottum of the mirror.
Neptune: Oh no! My Mirror! EEEEEEKK!
Sailor Neptune twirls in the air uncontrollably. She was thrown here and there like a ragdoll in a eye of a tornado.
In a dark twisted voice Hectus says...
Hectus: Now... you're mine... ERRRRRGHH!
Hectus crunches his two hands together. The dark energy that formed the tornado which Neptune was trapped in, started to shrink until the energy was wrapped tightly around her body.
Neptune: Haruka...
The dark energy begins to cover her face, but just then...
Uranus: WORLD! SHAKING!
A energy ball flew in from off stage and froze Hectus in his spot.
Hectus: What was that! Who's there!
Sailor Uranus appears out of the frozen audience.
Uranus: Guided by a new era! I shall punish all those who destroy the natural harmony of this planet! I'm Sailor Uranus!
Hectus looks at her surprised.
Hectus: How did you escape!
Sailor Uranus contacts Sailor Neptune telepathically.
Uranus: Hang in there!
Neptune: How did you?
Uranus: I don't know... but I bet I escaped, because my mind was connected to yours this whole time.
Neptune: I see...
Hectus: Forget it! I originally wanted only one Sailor Scout from the Outer Solar system, but another wouldn't hurt! I'll get rid of you both! starting with...
Hectus's red eye turns to its left and looks at Sailor Neptune.
Hectus: YOU!
Sailor Neptunes head twiches a little from terror.
Uranus: NO YOU DON'T!
Sailor Uranus pulls out her Space Sword and dashes towards Hectus.
Uranus: SPACE SWORD BLASTER!
A crecent wave swings out of the sword and hits Hectus, slicing off half of his body.
Uranus: Direct hit! ... ... wait... What!
Hectus evily smiles as his body regenerated back to its normal state.
Hectus: Hehehahhaha!
He turns his head back towards Sailor Neptune and continues his dark curse.
Hectus: NOW DIE!
Neptune: Haruka... run... save yourself...
The dark energy covers Neptune's head and completes its embalming process.
Uranus: MICHIRU!
The mummified figure starts to fade away.
Neptune: ... Remember me...
Neptune's voice disappears along with her body. Uranus sprints towards Hectus.
Uranus: STOP IT! PLEASE STOP! Please... ...
Uranus slows down her pace and stops once reality clicked in her head; Michiru was gone. Uranus drops her sword and screams in a high pitch voice.
Uranus: MICHIRU!
(Flashback Ends)
Uranus slowly collapses on the ground. She stares blankly into the sky with her will to fight entirely gone.
Hectus: HAHAHAHAAA!
Hectus's wave collides into Uranus. Sailor Uranus closes her eyes and whispers to herself as the wave starts to wrap around her body.
Uranus: This is it... I'll be with you soon...
Hectus: HAHAHHAAHAAA!
Then out of nowhere a voice yelled out of the air.
Pluto: NOT SO FAST!
Uranus blinks and looks behind herself. There stood Sailor Pluto with her Garnet Rod pointing towards Hectus.
Uranus: Sailor Pluto... but... you shouldn't be...
Hectus, now really mad, didn't even bother to ask who she was.
Hectus: WHY WON'T YOU ALL JUST DIE! GYAAAH!
A large energy ball traveles out of Hectus's eye and screams towards Pluto without any warning. Pluto lifts her Garnet Rod up high above her head. Uranus quickly realizes what she was about to do.
Uranus: SAILOR PLUTO! YOU SHOULDN'T BREAK...!
Pluto: TIME STOP!
The energy ball freezes right in front of Pluto's face Hectus becomes frozen along with the scenery.
Uranus: Pluto... you shouldn't have done that...
Pluto falls on one knee after using up most of her energy. She struggles to get up.
Pluto: I know... quickly... We have to go... My powers can't hold that demon for long...
Uranus: But...
Pluto: This is not like you Uranus! Don't forget! We have a princess to protect, and now she's in death defying situation!
Uranus blinks as if she snapped out of a trance of some sort.
Pluto: Let's go...!
Pluto stands up with the support of her Garnet Rod. Hectus starts twitching and uttering words.
Hectus: Yooooour... nootttt... leeeeeavinnnng...
Pluto grabs Uranus by the arm and teleports out of the scene. The time flow returns to normal.
Hectus huffs heavily in anger.
Hectus: Damn it... these pests are stronger then I originally thought...
Hectus's eye grew redder and redder.
Hectus: It seems that I'll require more energy to face them in the next round.
Then all of a sudden, roars of screams travelled out from the audience.
Woman: YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!
Man: OH MY GOD! WHAT IS THAT!
The crowd quickly starts to flee.
Woman: KYUSUKE! WHERE ARE YOU!
Child: MOMMY!
Hectus turns around. The eye on his chest gleams blood red.
Hectus: Perfect... I'll start with YOU! HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAA!
Child: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!
Hundreds of wails and cries were heard afterwords. Hundreds of which disappeared and were never heard of again.
To be continued...
