Sorry for the delay I had a bit of writer's block and on top of that I had to housesit while my grandfather had a quintuple bypass, don't worry he'll be ok. Standard disclaimers apply.

Chapter 7: Chemosh and Draco

Luna and Artemis watched as the former kittens went down a water slide one at a time, it had been almost a week since Draco transformed them. "A few days ago you couldn't get them near a bath tub." said Artemis. "Now they're having a blast."

"They don't even mind that it's just for a week." said Luna. Did we have to lie to them, about how we got this way?"

"We had to; Draco must think that we're willing to consider his offer. If they knew the truth it might jeopardize the plan."

"Yes, right now it's better for them to think that this was caused by a strange energy field. If they should learn the only reason they were born cats in the first place was because we ran away from home and started stealing."

"In any case it'll all be over tonight, one way or the other."

"We better get the kittens and drop them off at the Shrine tonight, before we meet with Chemosh."

They didn't know that Diana had listened in on enough of their conversation to start realize that something was up.

Back in the Blackstar Fortress, Merlor was addressing Prim and Axel. "Draco's plan is almost complete, I need the two of you to watch and give any assistance needed."

"This'll be easy!" said Axel. "Draco's a one man army!"

"Even we can't screw this up!" said Prim. "Wait that came out wrong."

"Just go, I have to prepare for Vega's return."

That night the remaining Scouts and Knights were hiding in wait on top of the north tower of the Metropolitan Government Building to ambush Draco. "Everyone in position?" Sailor Earth asked over a communicator.

"Yes." said Sailor Moon. "We just need the creep of honor to show up. How are you holding up you two?"

"Fine considering that we'll soon lose our human forms and we're about to confront someone who was once our closest friend."

Draco then teleported in. "I see you've come back." He said. He took off the face plate of his helmet; he had a dark beard covering his face. "I take it you made a choice."

"You looked better without the beard." Luna said coldly.

"I'm not here to discuss facial hair, did you make a decision?"

"What are they doing?" Prim asked as she and Axel were on the South Tower.

"Just talking." said Axel as he looked though binoculars. "Somebody better do something soon."

"Why are you working for the Blackstar?" said Artemis.

"Simple, I wanted more power. The best way to increase your power is to push it to its limits and expand it. That means facing foes with equal or greater strength than yours. I joined the Blackstar to face them, but for some time they have been in short supply, even the senshi's power pales in comparison to my own now."

"The Chemosh we knew would never fight for a reason like that!" said Luna. "He would…"

"Chemosh was a fool!" Draco shouted unexpectedly. "He was always holding me back, that weakling would rather waste his life with children than get the power that has his for the taking!"

Luna and Artemis then realized something. "You aren't Chemosh are you?" said Luna. "You were another personality that shared his mind and body."

"Now it makes sense." said Artemis. "The shouting to no one, the self inflicted injuries. He was fighting you wasn't he?"

"Yes, he tried to fight off my influence but he was weak and you were just as weak to rob for me! After I turned you into those furballs I was captured and the book was burned in the struggle, after that I was banished and eventually I wiped every trace of Chemosh from the universe!"

"Chemosh was far stronger then you could ever hope to be." said Luna. "And we won't be your pawns anymore."

Draco started laughing.

"Why are you laughing?" said Artemis. "We just said we won't do what you want us to do!"

"You say you won't when the funny thing is YOU ALREADY HAVE!"

Draco extended a dimension bubble over the roof and the scouts and knights came out in the open. "How…" said Sailor Jupiter.

"Don't you get it?" Draco said as he put the face mask back on. "I knew that they would never betray you, but I also knew that this opportunity was too good for you to pass up."

Luna started to stutter. "Then all of it was…"

"A trap!"

Luna and Artemis stepped forward. "We'll stop…Ugh!" then they kneeled down.

"Looks like the spell has just about expired. I'd like to thank you two for being such gullible patsies, I'd have never have gotten this far without you."

"Leave them alone!" said Diana as she and the other kittens returned to feline form, Luna and Artemis also turned back into cats.

"Dancing Blade!" Draco threw his blade at her, damaging her mark.

"Diana!" Luna yelled. "Why?"

"Because it causes you pain, and if it causes you pain it would cause Chemosh pain." Draco continued to attack avoiding the scouts and knights attempts to stop him from damaging the kittens' marks. "And now for the two of you, Dancing Blade!"

"Luna, Artemis!" Sailor Moon said.

The cats were all unconscious but everyone knew that they were now ordinary cats.

"Now it's time to settle this." said Draco. "I want you to throw everything you have at me, that way I'll be all the stronger for it!"

"You're wrong." said Sailor Moon. "It all ends here."

"It is the end, FOR YOU! Dancing Blade!"

The sword became nine as threw it.

"Mercury Blizzard Lance!"

"Mars Pyro Ax!"

"Jupiter Thunder Claws!"

"Venus Shinning Whiplash!"

"Earth Twins Fangs!"

"Lunar Saber Cut!"

The Knights managed to break all of Draco's swords. "Well done, I underestimated you. Now I use my full power!"

"Dark Evolution!"

Draco became the three headed dragon. "I'm invincible!"

"We won't survive that attack." said Sailor Mercury.

"We can't lose!" said Sailor Moon.

"Lunar Curtain Protection!"

Draco laughed. "You think that flimsy little shield can stop me?"

"Breath of Annihilation!"

The attack completely covered the scouts and knights. After he finished Draco knelt down on the roof exhausted. "Yes I am the strongest warrior in the universe!"

"Strength is nothing!" said Sailor Mercury. "Not without the knowledge to use it properly!"

"Or friends to help you!" said Sailor Earth.

Draco saw that the curtain held. "How can this be!"

"We all gave Sailor Moon our energy to protect us." said Moon Knight.

"We're all exhausted, including you." said Sailor Moon. "But I think we have enough energy for one last attack."

"Mercury Artic Slasher!"

"Mars Warfire Incinerate!"

"Jupiter Lightningorb Blitz!"

"Venus Luminescent Purge!"

"Earth Ferocious Roar!"

"Moon Magnum Starbeam!"

Draco was pushed backward breaking the Dimension bubble and he roared as he fell off the tower; a column of light with four smaller one spiraling around it shot up from Draco's body.

"Uncle Merlor's not gonna like this." said Axel as he and Prim left.

"Sailor Moon." Sailor Venus said. "Try healing them with the crystal, the same way we did last time."

"Right."

"Crystal Healing Force!"

A light washed over the cats and when it faded they were human except for cat ears on the tops of their heads and tails coming from behind.

"How did this happen?" asked Sailor Moon. "Maybe when the golden and silver crystals fused together?"

"How could they have beaten every member of the Black Vanguard?" asked Merlor.

"It wasn't our fault." said Prim.

"You see…" Axel began.

"Quiet, if there were a brain cell between the two of you IT DIED OF LONELINESS!"

"So what now?" asked Prim.

"It's time to execute the final stage of my plan."

"Huh?" Prim and Axel said.

Luna stared at herself in the mirror, her cat ears twitching. "It strange to see myself as a Mau again."

"Were still certain that you can change back into cats if you need to." said Serena.

"I guess it's about time we accepted who we are and where we came from." said Artemis.

"And I'm certain that Chemosh's spirit can finally rest in peace." said Luna.
