Hello all! I've returned from hiding with a good, twistful chapter...is twistful a word?

Elphie Muse: It is now.

Woot. Anywho, here is the chapter. I'm not gonna say more lest I give something away.

That being said, I own nothing in this story...dumb disclaimers...I'm too broke to have a lawsuit against me.

Elphie Muse: Have to do the disclaimers though. It's a policy.

Phooey...

Apollo stared, disbelief on his face. His eyes began shining with tears of joy. The other Senshi stared in disbelief as well, though it was a joyful disbelief on the faces of the three Outer Senshi and Moon. Cameron, Daniel, and Teal'c stared in awe from their hiding spots, too numb from delight to move.

"You can't be here!" Misuteru said. "I killed you!"

The figure grinned behind a dark red, black looking mask. The short cape that hung over the left arm lifted in the breeze. A sword extended over the right shoulder. The dark red, black looking baggy sleeves and pant legs billowed in the wind. Pure white eyes gleamed beneath the dark red, black looking hood that shadowed the rest of the face.

"Then maybe this'll stop her," Uranus growled. "Shadow Sword Strike!" she yelled. The attack struck the figure in the side. The figure barely flinched.

"That was…anticlimactic," the figure said in spite of the blood flowing from the wound in her side.

Uranus went flying as the figure slammed an open palm into the Dark Senshi's chest. "Shadow Fire Soul!" Mars cried.

The figure's lefthand shot up and the fire attack seemed to collect there. The gloved hand brought the fire close to the figure's face. "One thing you all apparently forgot in your mythology lessons: Phoenixes are reborn from fire and ash." She clenched her fist and the fire vanished. The wound in her side immediately vanished along with the blood. She smacked her hands together as if cleaning them of dust and dirt. She then folded her arms, a hidden grin on her face.

"Die!" Venus yelled.

Phoenix easily dodged the attack then slammed her fist into Venus' stomach. The blonde doubled over in pain. Phoenix turned to Sailor Moon. "Can you heal them?"

Moon nodded. "I will," she said determinedly. "Silver Moon Therapy Kiss!" The healing attack had no effect on the Dark Senshi.

"Pathetic," Misuteru scoffed.

"It's not strong enough!" Pluto shouted as she defended herself from Jupiter.

"Try it again!" Phoenix said, pulling her sword free as she dodged an attack from Mercury and Mars.

"We can lend you some of our power!" Saturn added.

"If you do that, you won't have anything left to defend yourselves with if it doesn't work!" Moon returned.

"Just do it!" Phoenix ordered. "Trust me."

Moon nodded. "Silver Moon Therapy Kiss!" As the attack left the scepter in Moon's hands, Phoenix outstretched her left hand and sent a wave of energy into the attack. The healing attack tripled in size and struck the Dark Senshi. Misuteru leapt clear, vanishing from sight.

As the dust cleared, the Dark Senshi were back to normal. Moon sank to her knees in relief. "It…worked," she said in disbelief.

Neptune was immediately by Uranus' side, holding the blonde's head in her lap. The short blonde haired Senshi opened her eyes. "Neptune…did I…I didn't…" she said slowly, unable to finish the sentence.

Neptune shook her head. "We're all fine," she reassured.

Relief appeared in Uranus' eyes and she hugged Neptune tightly, afraid to let go. "I tried to stop myself but I couldn't…" she whispered.

"You're safe," Neptune whispered, holding Uranus just as tightly.

Phoenix smiled beneath her mask, sheathing her sword. Apollo was suddenly in front of her. He pulled his helmet off and let it fall to the ground. "Is…are you…am I dreaming?" he whispered.

Phoenix pulled down her hood and mask, a warm smile on her face. "It's really me. I'm back," she said. He suddenly engulfed her in a hug. "I still need to breathe," she gasped out. He loosened his grip and cupped her face with his left hand. He then leaned in and kissed her. She wrapped her arms around him, returning the kiss.

"You have failed Misuteru," the voice boomed. The voice echoed and reverberated off of the cavern walls.

"Forgive me Lord," she said, kneeling low on the ground. "I thought that I had slain the Phoenix."

"You thought wrong. Now even the Dark Senshi we had at our side have been healed!" the voice roared. "I should kill you where you stand! My fellow Ori are coming, and if I am not at full power, they will destroy me!"

"I will not fail again my Lord," Misuteru said. "I swear it."

"For your sake, I should hope not."

"So let me get this straight," Cameron said as they, the ten Senshi, and Jack walked up to the Hikawa Shrine. "You died on this other planet, and when they burned your body, the fire healed you?"

"Fire and ash," Sam corrected. "From what Priestess Tygra said, a part of me was barely holding on, but it looked like I was dead. During the burial ceremony, that part was able to take in the fire and ash and heal my body."

"So basically what you're saying is you're immortal," Daniel said.

Sam shrugged. "I have no clue. I'm just glad it wasn't the end."

"Ditto," Jack said, his hand intertwined with Sam's.

"Have you guys thought of who Misuteru could be?" Sam asked.

The four men shook their heads. "Most of the people who have a grudge against us are dead," Jack said.

"Doesn't mean the Ori can't bring them back," Sam said.

"That's true. They did bring Vala back when we used that long term communication device," Daniel said.

"Great. So it could be anyone," Cameron said.

"Not necessarily," Ami said.

"What do you mean?" Jack asked.

"Misuteru is a woman," Teal'c said.

"So?" Cameron asked.

"So, how many female bad guys have we encountered and had a hand in killing?" Sam countered.

"So it could either be Nirrti or Hathor," Daniel said.

"I so hope it isn't Hathor," Jack said.

"Amen to that," Sam agreed.

"Talking about me?" Misuteru demanded, stepping out of the shadows. She glared at Jack. "So you're still alive, are you? A mistake I intend to remedy."

"Not today," Sam growled.

"You're the one I want anyway," Misuteru returned. She rushed in and grabbed Sam. Before anyone could react, the two shimmered out of view.

"Damn it!" Jack snarled.

Sam blinked as they reappeared in a large, snowy field. Sam saw her breath rise in front of her. She saw Misuteru several feet away, her eyes blazing red under the black hood and mask. Sam ignored the chill, knowing through the spirits that she was in Antarctica. Despite the cold, Sam didn't shiver even though she wore only a pair of jeans and a T-shirt.

"You brought me out here to kill me?" Sam asked.

"I brought you out here for my revenge," Misuteru said.

"What did I do to anger you so much?" Sam inquired.

"You betrayed me," Misuteru growled and lifted her hand. She sent a wave of energy at Sam and the blonde skidded back several feet. "Now I shall enjoy torturing you and trust me, I know how to keep you alive for as long as possible."

"You won't get that satisfaction," Sam said.

"How so?" Misuteru queried.

"Like this: Phoenix Cosmic Power! Make UP!"

Misuteru's eyes widened in delight. "Two birds with one stone."

"Not today," Phoenix growled, pulling her sword free. The two began fighting fiercely, leaving little room for mistakes.

"You make the mistake of showing me your identity Sam," Misuteru snarled.

"Then let's even the scale," Phoenix returned. She dodged a swipe from Misuteru and grabbed the mask. Chestnut brown hair spilled out from the black mask. Phoenix stared in horror. "N…no…"

"Hello old friend," Janet snarled. She charged in. Phoenix leapt high into the air and teleported away, the mask still clutched in her hand. "NO!" Janet screamed.

"We need to find…" Haruka began when a figure appeared in Sam's backyard. "Sam," she finished.

Phoenix undid her transformation and stumbled away. Jack was immediately by her side. "You all right? What happened?"

"It's her…" she whispered. "Misuteru…it's her…"

"You know who Misuteru is?" Daniel demanded.

"I…I need to be alone," Sam said.

"You know who Misuteru is. Tell us!" Minako said.

"I can't," Sam whispered.

"Sam…" Cameron began.

"I said no!" the blonde snapped and vanished.

"What the hell…?" Cameron began.

"I guess she wanted to be alone…" Usagi said.

"But what could make Sam act like that?" Michiru asked.

Realization dawned on Daniel's face. "It…couldn't be…" he whispered.

She's ba-ack! I could never kill off Sam...um...well I did once but...that was another story and it fit there...it didn't fit here, so she's alive. And to those upset with me for turning Janet evil, there is an explanation in the next chapter, so please to be patient. I will also say that the longest single story thus far I had posted was the first part of my Wheel of Stargate series (First part/book totalling 61 pages in length on Word), but this story is definitely going to surpass it. Right now I'm at the end of 59 pages and the fic still hasn't been resolved. Doesn't that make you happy? Review and tell me how much it makes you happy.

Elphie Muse: You're on a roll with this story, aren't you?

It's fun to write. Especially since I use to be a bit obsessed with BSSM. Enough of my rambling though. Please review!
