Chapter 5: Road to Ruin

"We keep losing or friends to this guy." said Raye.

"I'm getting really depressed." said Mina.

"That's it!" said Serena. "We have to find a way to stop this guy!"

"Every time we faced him we always tried to isolate a scout and knight together." said Amy. "The best thing we can do right now is to stay close to each other."

"But will that be enough?"

Back at the Blackstar Fortress Draco and Merlor were speaking with each other.

"This is taking too long." said Merlor. "We can't gather the keys the way we have been doing before Vega returns."

"So I will get more of a challenge after all." said Draco.

"So you have a plan?"

"I'll take on Uranus and Neptune next."

"And the rest of them?"

"I have a plan." said Draco.

Back at her apartment Michelle's mind was wandering. "Michelle, if you don't finish I'll be stuck here." said Walter.

"Oh, sorry." said Michelle. She was painting and was using Walter as a model.

"Should we pick this up at a later time?"

"No it's not that, it's just… With Draco out there I'm just so worried about who is next."

"We'll beat him I just know it."

"You're right, but I still I'm a little uneasy."

At that moment they both heard a crash and explosion. "That sounded like it came from the overpass."

"Oh no, Amara usually is over there at this time and I think she was picking up Miguel!"

"We better go check it out then."

Amara and Miguel leapt out of the car just before Draco's attack hit it transforming as they did. "You injure our kids, take away our friends and made us fear for each other." said Sailor Uranus. "But wreaking my car is the straw that broke the camel's back!"

"Ready to get your extremo (Spanish for butt) smacked?!" said Uranus Knight.

"Not just yet." said Draco. "I'm expecting company."

"Are you both ok?" asked Sailor Neptune.

"Not for long and neither are you." Draco extended a dimensional bubble trapping them inside. "DANCING SWORD!"

They dodged the attack and countered.

"NEPTUNE HYDRO JAVELIN!'

"DARK REFLECTOR!"

Draco turned the attack back at him.

"How can we beat this Guy?"

"I got a plan." said Sailor Uranus. "We each have to attack him in turn."

"Let's try it." said Sailor Neptune.

"URANUS TECTONIC UPHEAVAL!"

Draco jumped to avoid the attack.

"NEPTUNE OCEANIC MAELSTROM!"

Draco raised his shield. "DARK REFLECTOR!"

"URANUS STONE HAMMER!"

Uranus Knight's attack destroyed the reflective surface of Draco's shield making it unable to counter Neptune's attack.

"Ugh!"

"Alright!" said Sailor Neptune.

"We got him!" said Sailor Uranus.

But Draco started to get up while laughing. "I must admit you I never expected you to find a way to beat my Dark Reflector, but that technique represents a mere fraction of my power. You should all feel honored it isn't often that I'm forced to do this to win a fight!"

"DARK EVOLUTION!"

Draco changed into a massive three headed dragon. "It was been far too long since I have used my full power."

"BREATH OF ANNIHILATION!"

All three heads let loose a stream of power down on their victims.

The others were waiting outside the bubble when Mercury's computer started going off. "What is it?" asked Sailor Earth.

Sailor Mercury checked. "I'm getting a massive energy spike…Whoa!" The computer started to short out. "It overloaded!"

"That can't be possible!" said Sailor Venus.

"It is." said Earth Knight. "But it would require an enormous amount of energy. Makes me wonder what's going on in there."

Then the Bubble faded and the section of the overpass it covered was devastated to ground level. "Oh my god…"

They stared down at the damage and saw Draco reverted to human form and was holding a gold crystal orb and an aqua crystal orb. "Looks like they have a two for one sale for crystal orbs today!" Draco then noticed Luna and Artemis arriving at the edge of the bridge. "This is just to let you know I'm through playing games. The next time we meet you're all going down!" Draco then left.

"Next time we meet you'll be the one going down!" said Moon Knight.

"Good job Draco!" said Merlor.

"It will only get better." said Draco. "I have a plan to get all the remaining crystal orbs at once."

"How do you plan on doing that?" said Merlor.

Draco looked out to Earth. "With the help of some old friends."
