Episode 10: Wild Card Part 2

.Sailor Moon

"Why are you doing this!" I shouted at her.

"I'll let master answer that." She stepped into the room. There was a dark figure in the hall.

"Hello, Scouts," he said. The figure stepped forward into the room.

"You?"

"What's so surprising?" asked Ace.

"But, we saw you fight Iamix. He's behind this."

"Iamix? My brother's been dead for five years now."

"But we saw him!"

"That was all an illusion. That fight was staged to keep you girls from suspecting me."

"And it worked," said Sailor Jupiter.

"But why?" I asked.

"Why?" he said. "My dear girl, that's what I've been asking myself for years. And it started all with Michelle."

.Ace, 5 Years Ago

Michelle, Amara, and I grow up together over seas, and for the longest time I had a crush on Michelle. It took me forever to ask her out. She was so beautiful and talented. It was hard cause all the boys were after her. We were fourteen when I finally asked her out.

"Hi, Michelle," I said as I approached her on that faithful day.

"Hey, Ace. What's going on?"

"Nothing……..umm……would you….." It all came out at once. "Wouldyouliketogotodinnerandamoviethisfridaynight?"

"Umm….Ace? Can you say that again but slowly?"

"I…er…..would you like to go to dinner and a movie with me this Friday night?"

"Now see it wasn't that….wait…..are you asking me out on a date?"

"I….guess you could call it that."

"Well, where are we going to go, and what will we see?"

"You mean then you'll go!"

"Well, yeah."

"Really?"

"Really."

So we went on our date. It was a nice movie too. I really enjoyed it. Food wasn't that bad either. But it was when I took her home.

"Wait. . ."

.Sailor Venus, Present

". . .How could you drive her home if you too where fourteen?" I asked.

"My dad was rich at the time. My mother died shortly after my sister was born. I had like five motorcycles and a license."

"How'd you get a license?"

"Special privilege."

"Yeah, your dad owned the driving department along with half the town," said Michelle.

"Anyway. . .where was I? Oh, yes. . ."

.Ace, 5 Years Ago

Well, I took her home. I walked her to her door, and that's when she said it.

"Listen, I had a really great time tonight, but I can't see us more then friends."

So that was it. My heart was broken. Well, after a year I started getting a crush on Amara. So I asked her out. It was a nice night. I went to bed feeling like I was on top of the world. The next morning I went to Amara's. That's when I saw her and Michelle making out. I left and never came back.

That same night, my father raped my younger sister killing her. He was sentenced to life and the government took everything. Me and my brother, Iamix, was to go to a foster home. He did, I ran away and never returned.

I did well for a fifteen year old. I had an apartment, a job, and some money. After a while, I fell in love again. I found her cheating on me. Some time went by, and I got a house and a better job. I fell in love again. She moved without saying a thing to me. I got a bigger house and joined T.N.T. I fell in love with Alice.

(The assistant started shifting a lot.)

I asked her forever to go out with me, but she always said no. The same day she said yes was the day I found out Iamix died. But never the less, we had a good time. That night I took her to my house and she saw it. The room at the top of the stairs had my plans about revenge. I started telling her everything.

She was part of my plans though. I had developed a potion, you could call it, that aloud me to control anyone. I slipped her that potion and took my time so it would take effect. I wanted to teach all the girls a lesson.

.Sailor Moon, Present

"So that's it?" I asked. "That's why you're attacking innocent girls?"

"There is one other. Before I met Alice, I met someone else. In fact she is in this room now."

Me and the other girls started looking at each other.

"What hurt more was that she attacked like she didn't know me. She certainly knew my middle name; the name I share with my damn father. If you were a little nicer, Lita."

We all turned to look at Sailor Jupiter. She stared straight at Ace.

"You bitch," she said. "I knew I made a mistake by dating you."

"You said it was a mistake when we broke up. I always asked myself why. Why did you leave me? I was the best person you had ever met."

"I saw right through you. You're rude and a son of a bitch!"

"I know my dad's a bitch, you don't have to remind me."

"If you hate your father so much, why do you act like him?"

"You take that back!" He moved so fast I didn't even see him run up to Jupiter and grabbed her throat. "You know nothing!"

"If you weren't so blind," shouted Mercury, "you would see that Alice truly loves you!"

"No one's ever loved me! You. . ." He turned to Alice. "I want them ready in five minutes!" He strode out of the room.

Without saying a word, Alice moved forward and started undressing Mercury.

"Why don't you tell him?" Mercury asked her. "Why won't you tell him you love him?"

"He wouldn't believe me," she said. "He would just put me up here like the rest of you."

"Not if you show him that it's true."

Alice slapped her. There was silence, which was broken when she started to cry.

"I'm too afraid! I'm afraid he won't love me back!"

"But you heard him. He said that he loves you."

Silence fell again. Alice continued to work.
