In this story's last chapter, Queen Serenity made four Peruvian young girls who were also actually Monitors in their respective lives at least temporary, if not permanent, Scouts. They were all completely Terran, as a matter of fact. And not from anywhere at all in the Moon Kingdom, either. But she still made them at least temporary, if not permanent, Scouts in their lives. Those girls then became Junior Sailors Amilaram, Sierra, Paquasim, and Onziza, respectively, as a matter of fact, once she also made them Scouts in their lives here.

They'll all be considered as Scouts in this story Universe of mine, at least, if not also in any others of mine, by me, for your information. Even though they aren't actually part of the known canonical list of Scouts, they'll all be considered as such here. At least in my version of Sailor Moon and the applicable story Universe or Universes, that'll be the case for them all.

In this story's next chapter, the Negaverse and its rather strange beings will begin to make its move toward Earth and several places on it, in fact. That's if they haven't already done so by now, obviously enough. Just how, when, and where they will move to on, under, and around it, though, you'll all just have to read on to find out well enough, of course. For I don't really want to spoil this next section of the story here, if I can possibly avoid it, before you all have a good enough chance to read it.

Now, without much, if any, further ado, if we may, readers, let's get on with the next chapter of this story here. If you like what you see, or feel the need to do so, then please don't be afraid to read, review, and enjoy my related story chapters here, readers. I await your rather clean, rather courteous, and rather constructive, comments about this story and its related parts, and about its related series, as well. Supposing, of course, that any of you all would ever feel the need or the desire to put up any reviews for any or all of my various stories. Remember, people, all the standard disclaimers will still apply here, if and whenever necessary. However, I'd still hope and prefer that you all not steal my own original characters and settings here. For I've spent many hours working on them for quite a few years, in fact. Now, let's get on with the story here again, everyone. And I really do hope that you all will continue to read and enjoy it, readers! Now on to the story!

A Rather Hostile Takeover

A The Chrysanthemum Chronicles Series Story

Somewhere In The Negaverse

Negaverse Dimension, The Universe

February 13, 987

About a week or two later, if not later than that, at the very least, all the necessary Negaversers were about to leave the Negaverse behind. And do that so they could hopefully gain a strong enough Earth-based foothold in the near future, and eventually use it to cause more trouble for the Moon Kingdom. Or for any other society in the Universe who might choose to oppose them, for that matter. Especially if they were on Earth, of course. They then were all most likely as ready as they could be before they'd leave the Negaverse behind for a time. And do so in order to try to gain a strong enough foothold of some sort for the Negaverse anywhere in the applicable solar system.

They were just about to open a portal that would hopefully bring them to Earth. They were now about ten minutes from doing so, more or less. And leading them, of course, would be Epusaconio, for the Negaverse advance scouting party of some sort. They didn't know just where on Earth they might land, obviously enough. But they did know that wherever they actually did end up on it, they'd still have to try to gain and hold a foothold on it. And do so at least long enough for the Negaverse to use it as a base from which to try to attack the Moon Kingdom from. If not other peoples on Earth's surface as well, of course.

Some time later, then, the required portal was open. And the Negaversers that'd be going to Earth, at least at the current time, began entering it, so that they could eventually wind up on Earth, if at all possible, for any or all of them. Epusaconio was the first of the Negaversers to enter that portal. That portal soon delivered them to the area around La Paz in the Peruvian Empire. And they began setting up a base of operations in it, for at least a while. They soon secured an area about ten to twenty square miles in size. After doing so, they then split into several smaller groups. One group at a time would always stay where they'd come to Earth. That was so that if they somehow eventually needed reinforcements while they were trying to gain an Earth-based foothold, to at least some degree, for the Negaverse, those reinforcements would be able to show up there easily enough. Supposing, of course, that enough things went well enough for the Negaverse then. And that was also the case, so that if any of their fellow Negaversers needed to return to their current base of operations on Earth, they'd all hopefully be able to do so easily enough, of course.

The Negaversers spent quite a while after they'd made Earthfall securing the area of Earth that they'd just come to, obviously enough. After they'd done this for at least a day or two, they soon split up. And they began scouting out the area of Earth in which they'd just landed themselves, for at least a little while. Little did they know that the Scouts were elsewhere on Earth, if not elsewhere in Peru, at the current time. And little did anyone else who was actually from the Sol solar system know that there were now at least a few dozen Negaversers, if not more, now on Earth. That, of course, was for all of the obvious reasons.

Epusaconio and his people then began capturing people in the Peruvian Empire soon after doing so. They often forced those people to work for them while they tried to establish a sufficient enough Earth-based foothold for the Negaverse to use in the future. Especially against the Moon Kingdom's inhabitants.

Eventually, like within just a few days of their coming to Earth, they'd sufficiently extended their control over a good-sized part of Peru to about 2,000 or so square miles of area, if not more than that. And they did that well enough once they were quite sure that nobody was now against them in sufficient enough force. Other Negaversers soon joined them in the part of Peru that they were now in, after Beryl had permitted more of them to come down to Earth through the required personnel. And they'd gotten themselves access to the Pacific Ocean not long after doing so. They did this after first capturing quite a few Peruvian citizens in the required manners, of course. And they did so before Beryl sent other Negaversers to Earth to hopefully help secure what might prove to be the Negaverse's first Earth-based foothold.

Of course, the Negaversers tried not to alert any enemies of theirs who might possibly be anywhere near where they'd earlier landed. But other high-ranking people in Peru eventually received news of their current presence on Earth. If not also anyone else who was then elsewhere in the known Universe. And because of that, the news that they were now on Earth would most likely get to enough, if not all, of the people back in Cuzco, Peru. And it'd probably do that before too much longer. Supposing that it hadn't already done so by then, obviously enough.

In the meantime, though, Epusaconio and his people began establishing themselves as securely, and as quickly, as they could in Peru. And as soon as they could, they even tried to take over more of Earth's surface, if at all possible. But they only did that whenever they felt they could do so easily enough, with a minimum of trouble coming their way as they did so, of course.

Eventually, after spending at least a few days or so on Earth's surface, their presence had spread over several thousand square miles of area. And they'd begun bringing naval ships that could function on planets' surfaces to the Pacific Ocean. This was so that they'd hopefully be able to blockade Peru's ports, of course. And do so even while their land forces also moved toward them from other directions.

They soon had total, or near-total, control over the air. Supposing that they hadn't already established it when they'd first landed themselves in the La Paz area of Peru some length of time before, of course. Nothing more at all would most likely come from the air for Peru. Unless other people were somehow able to sneak into Peru easily enough to help it out at least a little bit, if not a lot. Any reinforcements for, or any resupplying of, Peru's military forces and/or inhabitants would probably have to come there by means that the Negaverse might not be able to detect and stop easily enough. No matter what those means might be, as a matter of fact. If the Negaverse had virtual total control over the land, sea, and air in the part of Peru that they'd already secured somehow, that'd most likely be the case. And remain so for at least as long as the Negaverse was still present somehow in or near Peru. If not even longer than that, in fact.

And if that was the case, then it might not bode well for the Moon Kingdom's inhabitants, at least. If not also for any other societies that they might ever encounter, for that matter. If they were actually able to maintain their Peru-based foothold well enough, they might then try to gain other such footholds elsewhere on Earth's surface, of course, as well.

A Rather Hostile Takeover will still take a while to put up here, readers, quite possibly. Until later, then, this is "The Universal Storyteller" signing off here. Happy reading, and God bless, and all that, of course, readers! Over and out!
