Chapter 3
As they ran deeper into the forest, the sailor scouts could hear screaming in the distance; and there seamed to be as strange feeling in the air, like static on a television screen.
"Darien, my love I'm coming, hang on" fighting back her tears Sailor moon's anxiety increased as the got closer to the old temple.
"Theodora!" screamed Sailor Moon as they crashed through the doors of the temple.
"So you came, just as I expected," laughed Theodora "But I'm afraid if it's your friend your after your too late!"
"You evil witch what have you done with him?" said Sailor Moon unable to hold back her tears.
"He's right here" Theodora waved her hand in the direction of an alter upon which Darien lay "How fitting it is that his life energy will bring about your destruction, and with it the only obstacle to my domination of this pathetic little planet!" raising her arms a thin sphere of static surrounded the scouts "Yes alone I do not possess the power to destroy you, but after draining his life energy I will have enough to get rid of you for good!"
"It seems to be made of pure energy, and it's creating a temporal rift in the space time continuum! We have to escape now" Said Amy examining the Sphere wall through her visor "Try to concentrate an attack on one area everyone maybe we can break through," Her voice remained calm, but Sailor Mercury knew they were in trouble.
"Mercury bubbles, Blast!"
"Venus crescent beam smash!"
"Mars fire, ignite!"
"Jupiter thunder crash!"
"Moon, spiral heart attack!"
"Struggle all you want sailor scouts, there's no escape for you now," the static build up was now so strong that sparks were coming from the sphere surrounding the Scouts and were dancing across the walls of the temple.
"The last of his life force is finally mine," Theodora lifted Darien's motionless body and pored the last of his energy in the sphere.
"Darien, no!" Sailor Moon collapsed, Darien was dying and she could do nothing to stop it.
"Don't forget to write sailor failures!" laughed Theodora.
There was a flash of intense light and a sound like thunder, as the sphere collapsed into it self taking the sailor scouts with it.
"Finally the earth is mine" the image of Theodora slowly faded leaving the body of Darien slumped on the floor.
