Sailor Moon CS chapter 97 Castle Beyond the looking Glass Part 1 "Now and Then"

It was midnight and two figure staring at each other from separate towers both seemed tired but not letting the other know that.

"So ready to give up yet" Suzuka asked calmly in a slightly mocking tone.

"In your dreams" Motoko shouted back.

"Then what are you waiting for we have a dual to continue" said Suzuka emotionlessly.

"What am I waiting for… what are you waiting for" Motoko said mockingly

"You seem tired I'm waiting for you to catch your breath since this battle has been the most fun I have ever hid in quite some time, your skill is really impressive" said Suzuka placing her hand on the hilt of her sword.

-Azerath the Chamber of Time-

"Good she hasn't felt your presence here" said Raven closing her eyes for a second.

A book floated out of no where and into Raven's hand, as it landed in her hand she read the cover out loud "Castle Beyond the Looking Glass"

"Isn't that a chapter from Alice in wonderland?" Ryoko asked scratching the back of her head.

"What ever book that is I have no knowledge of it I only know what is in these books It's the Price of being guardian of time" said Raven in an Irritated tone.

"I know this might be a stupid question how do you know us and do we know you and why did we are now de transformed" Ashlique asked in a flurry of questions.

"If you were still transformed she would have known you were here I know you since you are in these books and why you think you know me ill answer that one after the story I am about to tell you Since this story is Important now sit" said Raven opening the book.

Both Ryoko and Ashlique sat down as Raven Began to read.

"This took place over 1000 year ago when the Arjunian Druid Order was in its infancy stage The Age of Crystal Star" said Raven.

-Age of Crystal Star-

It was a large court room willed with wall to wall druids dressed in brown, in front of them was a large stand with druids dressed in grey with a pedestal in front of it with a pale druid dressed in white.

A door opened and two druids dressed in green escorted what appeared to be almost naked female clad only metal restraints and helmet.

"Serph you have been charged with the slaughter of hundreds of druids what do you have to say for yourself in your defense" (said the Druid in white) without even moving his mouth)

There was not response from Serph the glass eye of the helmet just stared at the druid in white.

"It seems Chris that this criminal doesn't feel guilty for her crime?" said a druid dressed standing up in the stand behind the druid in white.

"High Druid Kain we have to follow procedure before we find one guilty no matter what they have done The Arjunian was founded by me to be the voice of reason" (said Supreme High Druid Chris)

A Beam of light shot from the ceiling and a diamond like structure appear enclosing Serph inside, and her helmet made a clicking noise, it fell to the ground making a loud metal on metal banging noise, The girl red hair fell to her neck since it was now free from the helmets restrain, she stared up at Chris with her dark red eyes.

"She is beautiful" whispered a male druid in the crowd watching.

A girl beside him bent over and whispered into druids ear "I hope you're not implying she is more beautiful then me"

"Morganna I am saying that" The male yelled unintentionally from caught of guard.

"I hope not Noa I am your girlfriend and all" said Morganna giving the male druid a stern look like a lion waiting to go for the jugular.

"I was just saying that she seems so innocent looking to be the person they are talking about its like looking into the face of a child… a nymph like they talk about in ancient folklore" said Noa trying to read the expression on Morganna's face.

"I was there when she slaughtered them it was pleasant she tore the heads off people and sang while she did and I hope she gets what coming to her" said Morganna looking down at the girl in the Crystal.

Everything stopped and standing in the middle of things was Sailor Mars, Sailor Venus and Raven.

"This was the start of everything" said Raven turning the page in the book and they all vanished and people start talking again.

"They made her that way if it was up to I would punish the people who made her for what she has done" said Noa frowning at Morganna.

"You mean the people who decide to play god and create life in my books they are Heretics and should burn with there monster" said Morganna through gritted teeth.

"Let listen they are coming to a verdict" Said Noa looking back the pedestal the High druids were on with the Supreme High Druid.

"You have killed so many that we cannot ignore it but you had no idea of right and Wrong that termination of your life cannot be placed on you so you will be frozen in stasis for all known time maybe someday we can cure you" (said Supreme High Druid Chris)

"That Murderer is going to get away with it you Got to be kidding me" angrily shouted Morganna.

She wasn't alone with her shouted some of the high druids behind Chris were shouting too in protest of the verdict.

"I have as Supreme High Druid have made a judgment and it stands, and will pass a law that no more experimenting this way again" (Said Supreme High Druid Chris)

This seemed to piss off the other half of the High Druids the ones who didn't react to the judgment against Serph.

The chamber clear as people left to do their daily routine.

Everything stopped again

Raven turned to Sailor Mars saying "two days passed after this before anything you need to know happened.

Things seemed to fast forward right in front of them, the suns rose to the sky giving off the brilliant scarlet radiance then fell revealing the moon in all it silver glow, then the sun rose and fell again then raised and finally came to halt.

They vanished again like they weren't even there but still watching the events that took place.

"Was it wise that you angered them the walls have eyes your life could be in danger failures like are one in a thousand we cant cancel projects because a few lives when it could save billions?" said High Druid Kain.

"Why must people always resort to killing to get what they want when I looked at Serph I saw a lost child with great power and it horrified me of the thought of hundreds of them paving the streets with blood" (Said Supreme High Druid Chris)

"But with more work they might be able to be there to prevent people from dying" said High Druid Kain.

"By killing others is one life worth more then another" (said Supreme High Druid Chris) "she has ended too many for the projects worth and I put an end to it no more discussions on the matter" he then opened a door in front of him and entered.

"These Teewones are always like this never seeing the big picture how will I get my super warriors as long as he is in power" Kain said to himself as he watched Chris leave.

"Should I Kill him" said a voice from shadows behind Kain.

"Druid Suzuka you have been watching, and no I don't want him killed only removed from power if he was murdered I would be the first accused since I am next in line for the leadership of this order, and that means he has to step down" said High Druid Kain with his right hand stroking his left temple.

"You could ask Queen Raquel to remove him" said Suzuka.

"There has to be a reason for her to remove Chris it's in the Sacred tome of the order" said Kain waving his hand like he was brushing that idea, "I have an idea " said as he leaned over and whispered something into Suzuka's ear.

"That is what I do" Suzuka whispered loudly.

Before Kain could say anything else a male druid collided into the back of him and was being helped up by a female druid.

"I will let you off this time Druid Noa but next time I wont be so lenient what did I say about watching where your going" said Kain with a slight smug expression that hid anger only revealed by the look in his eyes.

Neo and Morganna quickly left apologizing till they got out of ear shot of Kain and Suzuka.

"Can he be anymore pushy snot it was just an accident" said Morganna in a loud annoyed humph.

"He is a High Druid we have to respect him" said Noa admonishing Morganna snide remark.

"Respect him you got to be joking I rather kick his ass power hungry hiclestix" growled Morganna.

"Watch you language someone might you we better get going we will be late for class" said Noa sighing with irritation.

Everything froze again, Sailor Mars, Sailor Venus appeared with Raven in front of them.

"Yes this is way before he became the Noa you remember this one has a habit of being of not being able to focus and pay attention to his surrounding and was somewhat of a klutz just like you and Tea" Said Raven looking at Ryoko.

"Great make fun of me" said Ryoko holding back a laugh.

"Things are going to get worse" said Raven.

-Present-

The sky was crying and its tear dropped to the city in the form of rain soaking anything with its sorrow.

Chitose screamed a girl with an umbrella as she walked down the street trying not to panic, she suddenly tripped over something when she got up her hand was covered in blood, she looked to see a headless corpses "Nooooo Chitose" she screamed.

A Red hand print appeared in her shoulder, she turned to look right before her head was ripped from her body spraying blood on the wall behind her.
