Chapter 3- A Changing Future

Outer Moon gasped. Her eyes locked with the mans and she looked confused. The other scouts looked between the two.

"H..Hades?"

Hades smiled, "Yes, child. It is time to come back to me and fulfill your true destiny. "

Ilanna grinned evilly.

'But I thought Hades was good...' Outer Moon thought.

:He wasn't good or evil, just confused.: A voice said.

'Who's there?' Outer Moon thought.

:A friend. Do not listen to him. A evil force is behind him...I can feel it. He will try to persuade you to join his side but you must listen to your heart...not your mind...: The voice trailed off.

"...join me." She heard Hades finish. Outer Moon clenched her scythe.

"I will not." Hades stiffened and looked agitated.

"What did you say?" Outer Moon looked at him.

"My duty is to the Moon Princess, Princess Serenity, the Messiah, THE soldier of light, the heir to the Silver Throne of the Cosmos. I will not submit to the likes of you because I will not betray her." Hades face darkened.

"Anastasia, I would watch your tongue. I unleashed your powers, I know your past, I can destroy you." Outer Moon held her scythe up.

"Not likely. You see, I discovered a power and didn't tell you." The scythe glowed violet.

"I, as the Leader of the Outer scouts, control the outer scouts powers. Silence Glaive Surprise." and he was blasted. Outer Moon was also knocked off her feet. Uranus and Venus helped her up.

"Whoa, that was...different." the smaller senshi muttered. Hades stood up.

"Ilanna, let's go." he said hoarsely. They vanished.

Later at the temple... "How did you do that?" asked Michiru.

"Simple, I am the leader of the outer scouts..." started Ana.

"What!" yelled Haruka. The group looked at her. "I was the leader...I'm tired of you pushing us around. I will not follow your orders."

Ana's face stayed calm.

"As you wish...but don't be too hasty. Your powers my not work as well as you think they will." Haruka stood up.

"Are you challenging me?" Ana stood quietly.

"I will warn you only once, Haruka Tenoh. If we fight, I will not hold back and I will not show any mercy." They went outside. Haruka transformed. Ana just stood there.

"Well, are you going to transform? Or, have you gone chicken?" Ana's eyes were cold.

"I do not need to transform."

Uranus smiled, "World Shaking." Ana flung a hand up and reflected the blast and strait back at Uranus. It hit and slammed her into the ground. Uranus detransformed. Ana stood quietly as Haruka stood up.

"I...How...Why?" stumbled Haruka.

Ana turned, "Let's get back to our meeting. Once inside Ana finished explaining. "As I said before, I am the leader of the outer scouts. Because of this, I can control their powers. Just like Sailor Moon can control the inner's" A soft knock interrupted her. Rei got up.

"Hotaru? Chibi-usa, Setsuna." She let them in. Ana looked at them.

"Hello Hotaru, Small lady, Setsuna, how are you?" Setsuna shock her head.

"Not good. Crystal Tokyo is changing rapidly. What in the world is going on? Where is Usagi?" Everyone looked at Ana.

'Oh..no...I should have figured...'

"I take the fifth." said Ana. Setsuna put her head in her hands.

"Anastasia, please, we must stop the changing in the future quickly and that can be accomplish by finding Usagi." Ana looked at the floor.

:Tell Setsuna that I am fine and I need to...um...well..rest or I will be destroyed.: Ana looked at Setsuna.

"Usagi says she needs to rest or she will be destroyed."

Makoto grabbed Ana. "When did you talk to her?"

Ana's eyes went hard. "Just now, I heard her. I don't know how." Hotaru walked over.

"Jupiter, It's all right. The princess spoke to me too. She is ok."

"You remember being a scout?" asked Haruka.

"Yes, I remember that I am Sailor Saturn." Hotaru answered. Chibi-usa gasped and she started to fade.

"Chibi-usa!" yelled the scouts. Ana calmly got up and went over to Chibi-usa.

"It's not your time." she said putting her hand on Chibi-usa's forehead. Chibi-usa solidified and Ana stood.

"I'll be right back." Ana ran out.

:It's coming together.: said the voice.

'I know...but I don't want to hurt them.' replied Ana running.

:I love them too...but it must be done.: persisted the voice.

'I'm sorry...scouts... Mamoru...' thought Ana. Mamoru had arrived at the temple and had been filled in. While laughing at Haruka's defeat, he heard a voice in his head.

'I'm sorry...scouts...Mamoru.'

'What? That sounded like Ana or..."Usagi!" Mamoru got up and started to run.

"Did he say Usagi?" asked Minako. The girls followed him. They caught up with Mamoru. He was staring at something. They looked and saw Hades and Outer Moon.

"Are you ready?" Hades asked.

'Are you sure? Will this work?" Outer Moon thought.

:Do not worry. If he is like the typical master boss, he will be lax in thinking that you are totally on his side. So go ahead.: The voice answered.

"Well are you joining me or not?" persisted Hades. Outer Moon looked at him.

"I guess I have no choice but to surrender to you." Hades chuckled.

"Good, you have made the right decision."

"But you haven't..." someone said. They saw nine shadows.

"How dare you corrupt our friend. I am the sailor solider of love and justice, Sailor Mini-Moon and on behalf of the Moon..." Mini-Moon said.

"Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto..." Added the scouts.

"We will punish you!" They said together. Hades laughed.

"You don't stand a chance." He pointed a hand at Outer Moon. Black energy surrounded her. When it vanished, Ana stood there. She had a spaghetti strap black dress with a slit up to mid-thigh. Her hair was down to mid-back and curly. She was now about Setsuna's age.

"You see, Anastasia's power is fully awakened and she is now the messiah of Death. Isn't that right?" Ana looked at the scouts.

"They are not all here..." she said quietly.

"What?" Hades said turning to her, "It doesn't matter. destroy them." The scythe appeared in her hand.

"As you wish." She moved forward.

"Silence Glaive Surprise!" Ana backed up dodging the blast.

"Silence is my deity, I'm the sailor scout of Silence, Sailor Saturn." Saturn walked over to the scouts. Hades frowned.

"Sailor Saturn was dead. I was sure of it. How?"

Ana smiled, "Hades, You are truly a fool." Hades looked at her.

"You honestly believed I'd turn my back on my friends?" Now that you've released my powers, I don't need you any more." Ana vanished and appeared next to Saturn.

"You little..." Hades hissed. "Oh, and Hades...There is one more little thing...I know my other Identity."
