Disclaimer: I know that I am new at this, but I still know that I have to put one of these up here. I don't own any of this cool Sailor Moon stuff, or my dream girl for that matter. If only... Mina... drools.

Anyway, I wanted to say that I hope people are enjoying this, and if you have gotten this far, then I am glad that you have read this. I am thinking seriously about a sequel, becuase the ending I have is suprising, to say the least. Please let me know how you think this is going, and any constructive criticism would be greatly appriceated. I am sure there are those who love flames, but I would have to tell you to redirect those to any Jar-Jar or chibi things that might possibly be more annoying than my story. Well, I think that I have rambled enough, so here you are, the latest chapter of Faith and Dreams.

Chapter 17: "The Day That Changed Two Worlds"

"AAAAARRRRRGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Uh, Merc? I think we're gonna have a problem here." Jonathan said when he fired his last two shells at the Behemoth.

"Just a bit more! I almost have it!" Mercury was typing away at her mini-computer and didn't even look up.

Jonathan heard loud crashing coming from the floors below them, and he remembered the ghouls that he missed a while back. They were coming and were not going to stop until they killed everything in their path.

"We're out of time! You have to get out of here now! Take what you have, grab Luna and Artemis, and get out of here! I'll hold them off as long as I can!" When he finished yelling, the door on the elevator down the hall blew out and ghouls came charging down the hall. Jonathan gave an aggravated growl as he shoved Mercury out onto the balcony. The strains of Michael Jackson's "Beat It" were blaring from the speakers.

Too bad it isn't "Thriller". He thought to himself. How appropriate would that be? After closing the glass door, he reached down and grabbed his shotgun. "Now, lets do this!"

He leveled the gun at the front door to Darien's apartment and waited. In a few seconds, the door was ripped from it's hinges and thrown across the room, allowing a swarm of undead into the small living space. He got a glimpse of what they looked like up close. They had gangly features; almost all of them were skeletons in various states of decomposition. They wore rags that hung loosely from various parts of their bodies, and they all sported some tissue and muscle over their frames.

Before any of them could react, Jay sent two of them back down to hell with a blast from his shotgun. The ghouls caught the blast in what would pass for their chest, shattering the bone and mucsle that was left there. They disintegrated shortly after being shot.

The moment the ghouls saw their companions go down, they growled in an unearthly way, and lunged into the room. Jay pumped the slide violently to let another shell into the breach. The ghouls noticed his actions, and moved to get him while he reloaded. The ghouls crawled all over the furniture in the room, trying to reach Jonathan at the back, up against the balcony glass door. He fired two more shots into the mass of un-dead, and four more ghouls went down. That's when the leader of the group, a ghoul with a primitive blade, tried to catch him without any ammo. Jay let the half-skeleton get to within point-blank range, and he smiled. The ghoul stopped the downward motion of his ugly blade, and he let out a confused grunt. Jonathan pulled the second trigger on the gun, letting the shell in the second barrel rip into the chest of his attacker.

The ghoul flew back and dissolved when it hit more of its friends. He looked past the closest attackers and saw that the ghouls were blocking his way out.

"Damn! Why,"

BLAST!

"Does,"

BLAST!

"All of the,"

BLAST!

"Crazy SHIT,"

BLAST!

"Happen in Tokyo!"

BLAST!

Jonathan said as he fired time after time into the demons closing in on him. He realized that his supply of ammunition in the gun ran out, and it would take him a second to reload. The ghouls took the opportunity and lunged. Three ghouls managed to make it to his position, and he was hit square on by the middle one, which carried him through the glass door, shattering it, and out over the balcony floor. His momentum carried him out over the railing and he plummeted to the street below. As he fell, Jonathan saw the three ghouls jumping off the balcony after him. He kept a tight hold on his shotgun, and used his left hand to pull out one of his 1911's. On the way down, he fired up at the three, using a full clip, but succeeding in vaporizing the demons.

"What?" He suddenly said when he realized that he didn't hit the ground. He looked around, and to his amazement, he was on his feet, standing on the asphalt. Woah. How did I do that? No time to stop and think. Just act. He reminded himself. He let the empty magazine fall from his pistol, and grabbed another full one from his pants pocket. He slammed it home, cocked the slide, and replaced it into his holster. Then he grabbed twelve shells from his jacket pocket and reloaded his shotgun. When he pumped the slide to cock it, he turned and saw what the girls were facing. The Behemoth was stopped in his advance by the fire-red head. They were the only enemies left out of the entire forward invasion force. The red head started clapping when Jonathan joined the girls.

"And who might this clown be?" he asked the girls. Mercury came up to the group, and turned off her visor.

"Well, I do believe that that "clown" is the leader of this outfit." she said with a smirk.

"What? Come on, Ames. What about that bigger one?" Lita asked. She was still itching for some payback from her first fight.

"Oh, he's probably the second. The smaller red head has more power though. We could take out the bigger one with a Planet attack."

Jonathan went stiff from the words that she said. He immediately spoke up. "No! You won't have to do that. I have twelve shots left in this thing; combine that with all of your most powerful attacks, and that should bring him down, right?"

The girls all looked at Mercury, who was staring at her once again active visor. She gave a thumbs up, and all of them turned again to face the two remaining demons. They were now just 20 yards away from the group, and the red head moved slightly in front of the Behemoth.

"Well, nice of you to show yourself, Avenger." He was facing Jonathan when he spoke.

The group all turned to him with puzzled looks on their faces.

"What? I have no idea what you're talking about." He said, clearly exasperated with the enemy. This was the first one who actually tried to talk to them. And I thought we might have finally gotten lucky with enemies that weren't interested in chatting. Oh well.

"I'm sure that you do. Why else would your weapons effect us? Normally, only magic would harm us, but you seem to have that ability as well. Enough! My master has demanded that this realm be dealt with, and I intend to rule here!"

Something dormant flashed inside Jonathan when he heard that. It was a feeling of a memory that was not his however. A name flashed before him and settled over the red head.

"Beelzebub." he seethed.

"You may NOT call me by that name, worm!" Beelzebub cried. He responded by snapping his fingers and the Behemoth behind him dropped into a ready stance.

"I don't think so! You guys are going to pay for coming up here with that attitude!" Sailor Moon said. The rest of the group just rolled their eyes, and prepared for the first move.

Jonathan made it. "Lets Roll!" He said as he charged at the beast. He came within 10 feet of the thing, and let loose a double-barreled blast from the gun. It hit the monster in the right torso, shredding tissue and muscle as the rounds tore through its body.

The beast reacted faster than he could have imagined. He cleared the 10 foot distance in on stride, and swept a massive forearm out that caught Jonathan while he aimed for another shot. The collision of the arm with his body caused Jay to fire and hit the legs of the beast this time. When the arm stopped moving, Jonathan kept going until he finally came to a scrapping stop on the asphalt.

"Ow! That's gonna leave a mark!" His back was all bloodied and torn from his trip. He winced in pain as he got up to the sounds of the girls charging up their attacks.

Rhapsody!

Revolution!

Sniper!

Shock!

Annihilation!

Jonathan got up and hurried to where the Behemoth was about to be bathed in a swath of destruction. He looked up and smiled, "I won't miss this time!"

The demon looked down at him with recognition flashing on his face, before Jonathan sent a third double barreled blast right into the monsters head. The blast sent metal shot through the monster's face, ripping and tearing it's way through all of the soft tissue it could find. The Behemoth's neck caught some of the force, and it was shredded. The loss of a soilid foundation let the head of the beast fly away trailing a long line of gray blue ooze with it.

That was when the girls attacks finally connected with the rest of the monster, causing it to disintegrate.

They all breathed a sigh of relief, and Jonathan dropped the now empty and smoking shotgun to his feet. He was exhausted from his fight, and the realization of how he could effect the demons finally made sense. He smiled at the group and was about to go to Mina, when they heard the sound of more clapping coming from behind them.

"Shit. I forgot. Him" Jonathan sighed and turned to face his new adversary. Beelzebub just grinned at him and motioned for him to approach. Jonathan held up his hand and gave him the "one second" gesture, and ran to the group.

"What are you planning?" Called out the red headed demon after him.

"A duel! Just you and me!"

Beelzebub was caught off guard, and he noticed that this was a very interesting turn of events. He started to pay close attention to the group of his so-called friends he was now talking rapidly with. He saw how they all seemed to look sad at what he was telling them. This is going to be easy after I defeat this troublesome brat. The rest of them will crumble when I kill their leader! Beelzebub thought. Wait. Why did I just let this happen? He thought about the time that he was letting them prepare defenses against him. "Stupid!" He yelled and hit himself for being so.

He pulled his gray shining blade from out of his sub-space pocket, and called out to the Avenger, "You do not get any more time! Come and face your doom!"

So there you have it! I hope that I will start to get some reviews. I realize that my earlier chapters mentioned nothing in the way of reviews and thanks, so I fee that now is the time for the thanks. I want to thank my editor, Alicia Blade. She has helped me tremedously throughout this process, and I would like to redirect some of your attention to her works.

Also, anyone who makes reviews will be acknowledged and your questions will be answered. For now, I hope that you all enjoy the show! Domo and Osu!
