CHAPTER THIRTEEN

Sailormoon looked to her friends for support but found none. Venus and Jupiter were still unconscious and Mars and Mercury were frozen in place unable to move.

"Now it's just the two of us," Sasha taunted before raising her hand and sending a dark energy ball crashing down on the very spot that Sailormoon had just occupied.

Sailormoon looked at the spot where she had just been standing and let out a breath of relief. That was too close. But she had no more time to contemplate her close call as another energy ball was heading straight for her. She quickly dodged it but had no time to pat herself on the back as another and another quickly followed that attack.

Sasha laughed as she watched her puppet dance to her tune she'd show her master that this human wasn't worth his time. Deciding to really spice things up she raised her other hand prepared to send not one but two energy attacks crashing down on Sailormoon's head.

"Ha" she cried as she let them loose only to see them get destroyed before they even reached their target.

"What?" she gasped in disbelief could Sailormoon have stopped them in their tracks it was only then that she noticed the red roses on the ground and heard a male voice. She looked up to see a man dressed in a tuxedo

"How dare you attack innocent people and use them for your own agenda.

I tuxedo mask wont allow you to continue." Jumping down off the lamppost tuxedo mask rushed to Sailormoon who stood bent over gasping for breath "Sailor moon are you alright?"

"I'm fine but watch out for her don't let her touch you seems to have the power to immobilize people"

"Hey caped boy" Sasha snarled, "How dare you interfere with me and my prey."

"Sailor Moon I'll distract her and you finish her with one of your attacks"

"Okay lets do it."

Sailormoon watched as tuxedo mask began taunting her and prayed that her attack would work where the other attacks had failed. She watched and waited for Sasha to make her move and when she sent two energy balls blazing Tuxedo mask way she called upon her strongest attack "Moon specter activation."

Sailormoon's sigh of relief at seeing Tuxedo mask dodging Sasha's attack was quickly followed by one of dismay as her beam was deflected by some sort of energy field. Sailor Moon didn't know what to do. Should she use the crystal?

She turned her attention back to Tuxedo mask and Sasha who were now going at each other hand to hand.

Tuxedo Mask was a terrific fighter but even he couldn't keep up with her speed and once he was immobilized like the others Sasha turned her attention back to her.

"Its just the two of us now Sailor Moon."

"I wouldn't say that" a young voice yelled they both turned to see Mini moon "I'm Sailor Mini Moon and on behalf of the future moon I will stop you. I'm sorry I'm late sailor moon but I'm sure together we can beat her."

Sasha gave a harsh laugh "your nothing but a mini brat take this. She cried and fired three quick blasts

"Mini Moon" sailor moon cried and took off at a run just arriving in time to knock mini moon out of the way but not in time for herself as one of the blasts caught her in the back and sent her crashing down to the ground.

"Sailor Moon" Mini moon cried and rushed to her side "Are you alright?"

"Run Mini moon get out of here. Now"

"No I wont leave you"

Suddenly a laugh sounded behind them "How sweet." Mini Moon turned her head just as Sasha laid a hand on her shoulder freezing her in place like the others. With a smirk she bent over Mini Moon to look down at Sailor moon "I hope their wont be any more interruptions" she stated before reaching for her

Sailormoon cringed as a hand reached down to grab her expecting to be frozen like everyone else she was startled when she was lifted up by the neck and thrown over her shoulder.

Sailor moon cried out in pain as her back came in contact with the hard earth.

"Sailormoon" her friends cried out and were surprised that they could. It seemed that it was only their bodies that were affected

Sailormoon started to rise but before she could stand up completely she was blasted from behind and the force sent her reeling.

Sasha laughed as she went flying and landed on her rear. This time she decided to wait for her to stand and get her bearings before she struck again.

Sailormoon stood quickly and searched for the enemy spotting her a few feet away in the air she sent her tiara flying. "Moon Tiara Magic"

Sailormoon watched her tiara closing in on its target than just as it was about to hit the target disappeared. She couldn't believe it calling her tiara back she searched frantically for a trace of her.

The first punch cut her across the cheek the next one caught her under the chin. Sailormoon felt the blows but the motion was blurry she was moving to fast for her eyes to keep up. The next blow brought her to her knees and a high kick to the face sent her sailing back in the air.

"This is the great warrior my master seeks? The one who he has traveled light years to defeat in battle? Your not worthy of him." she hissed

Despite the pain Sailor Moon once again rose to her feet. She had no choice she had to use the crystal all her other attacks were useless at this point. She reached for her locket but didn't get the chance to activate it

Sasha struck out again sending Sailormoon crashing back down to the ground Sailormoon cried out as the rough ground scraped her delicate skin to the bone as the force of the blow literally dragged her 10 feet across solid concrete. She lay their weak from the pain of such a vicious attack when Sasha struck again. Moving like the wind she struck her each blow feeling like a sledgehammer.

Sailormoon couldn't see the blows coming all she felt was the contact they made on her body. She never knew anything could move so fast.

"Leave her alone" tuxedo raged as he tried to break free of the hold she had on him to reach Sailormoon.

Sasha stopped her attack on Sailormoon to face him placing Sailormoon in a motionless state like the others she took one huge leap and landed in front of him. With a smile that held no warmth but a dark promise she flexed her right hand and the nails on it extend a couple inches. Than grabbing him by the neck she sunk the extra inches of her nails into his throat and dragged his motionless body closer

Tuxedo mask bit off a cry of pain as he felt the trickle of blood flowing down his neck.

"All that fire for her?" she taunted "You want to destroy me don't you? I can feel your rage. You want to rip me into tiny little pieces for hurting your precious Sailormoon."

She placed her left hand over his heart "I can sense the warrior inside you screaming out for my blood. I can feel the hatred in your heart. It's a wonderful feeling hate. Feel it grow as I pound your girlfriend into the ground"

"Moon tiara magic"

"What?" Sasha gasped and swung around she saw the tiara closing in and leaped out of the way but caught off guard she wasn't nearly as successfully at avoiding this one. A piece of it nipped her arm causing her to cry out not only in pain but also in rage that anyone had the nerve to damage her perfection. Now in a killing rage she stalked her circling around her as she knelt on the ground that last attack having took a lot out of her.

Seeing her opening she striked knocking Sailormoon to the ground. Leaning over her she extended her nails even more before she struck out for her vulnerable throat.

Sailormoon closed her eyes as she felt the end was near but when no attack was forth coming she opened her eyes to find that claw like hand inches away from her and the owner of that hand looked to be stopped in mid motion

All a sudden a dark cloud appeared above them and an angry voice fell down upon them "What do you think you are doing? Return at once."

When Sasha was released she looked down at Sailormoon with a look of pure hatred "Your pathetic. Your no warrior if it wasn't for my master both you and your friends would be dead at my feet" with a savage cry she leapt straight into the air disappearing into the dark cloud that soon faded away.

Sailormoon lay on the ground to ashamed to move. That woman was right she was no warrior her friends could have lost their lives today and it would have been all her fault. So where did she go from here.

.......................

Even with all her powers and abilities Sasha never saw him coming one minute she was alone in the mist and the next he had a hand at her throat.

"How dare you," he roared "How dare you even think to deprive me of what is mine."

"Master please she isn't worthy you saw how quickly she fell in battle"

He hissed and started shaking like she was a rag doll. "In your vanity you failed to notice one important thing you were so worried about the damage she did to you that failed to notice that she had to break your motionless spell to do it or did you forget you put her under it."

Sasha made a sound of disbelief she had put that sailor brat under her motionless spell. "I'm sorry master I won't fail you again."

"You better not" he stated harshly "Never forget that she's mine." He let her go and as fast as he came he was gone

Sasha rubbed her throat she had never seen her master so angry. This was all Sailor Moons fault and some how some way she'd make her pay.
