Chapter 4: Tensions rising
" Mamoru, Are you willing to leave Usagi alone?" The 'Demon' said as he holds a sharp spear, which is a few inches to her neck , with a small strium of blood on the blade.
" Let go of Usako, I can do whatever you want, I can be your slave, I can work with you , brainwash me whether you like! I promised you can accept me as your henchman!" Mamoru said as he kneeled, his tears are streaming down on his face.
" Is that so? Then don't do some tricks. I will let go of her." The ' Demon' said as he lower his spear, pushing Usagi hard to Mamoru's embrace.
" Mamo Chan! Don't tell me you are going with the Demon!" Usagi said with a few sobs.
" Usako I'm sorry, I have no choice, forgive me about what have I done, this is the only way."
" I have to leave now, Usako. I'm joining with him, don't find me, or contact me." Mamoru said as he gently let go of her embrace.
" Mamo Chan, didn't you promise to be with me forever, after I gave you a kiss under the moonlight?"
" I did, but this time I'm just going with him for a while." Mamoru said with a smile.
" Nonsense! Mamoru! You need to go with me forever, Now. You are my henchman, work with me, so we can revive Dark Kingdom, Dead Moon Circus, Black Moon Clan, Shadow Galactica and the Death Busters together, make an alliance, and rule the whole earth along the galaxy, and create a new galaxy!" The 'Demon' laughed as he grabs his spear as raises to the sky, it created a shape of three dark rings, pointing to Mamoru.
" Help-" Mamoru said as he tried to break the rings with his arms, but the rings are too tight for him.
" Try to resist, Mamoru?" The' Demon' smirked as he snapped his fingers, the rings flashed a black lighting, and it shocked him.
" ARGGGHHH!" Mamoru screamed as he tried to withstand the pain of the lighting.
" MAMO-CHAN!" Usagi yelled as he rushes to the Demon, transforming to Eternal Sailor Moon, and us her baton to fire her Silver moon crystal power to him, just like she did to Sailor Galaxia.
" No use." The 'Demon' raised his right and left arm up and his hands touch each other, and he charged up his power, his body glows a dark rainbow color.
"Dark Storium Ray." The ' Demon' muttered as he fired his attack and hit Usagi so hard, her transformation lost in a second.
" USAKO!" Mamoru eyes widened.
" You broke my promise, Chiba Mamoru. Die along with your Usako. Oh, and I have a special surprise for you." The 'Demon' clicked his fingers, showing the scene of the death of all the Sailor Scouts, along with the main bosses of the Sailor Moon, he wrapped his hands on their shoulders.
" Good job, Galaxia, Nehelenia." The 'Demon' said as he kissed both of their cheeks.
" It's nothing. You did a good job on defeating Sailor Moon." Galaxia smiled.
" Sailor Moon and her friends are nuisances to us, interrupting my plan." Nehelenia smiled as he touched the 'Demon''s cheek.
" Kill Usagi and Mamoru in front of me please. I would like to see them die." The 'Demon' smiled as he gently leave their embrace, while he heads to Queen Beryl and hold her hands.
" Mamo-Chan, I'm sorry…that…I can't…protect…you…" Usagi said her last words, as Nehelenia and Galaxia fires her black lighting and her bracelet and killed her.
" USAKO, NOO!" Mamoru is shocked to see her death in front of his eyes, he hugged himself so hard, screaming his heart out.
" HAHAHAHA! The Earth is all us now! The earth shall surrender belong Lord Chaos," He laughed as he waved to all of the bosses and let their hands out, creating an alliance.
"NOOO! USAKO! DON'T DIE!" Mamoru bolts out of his bed, as he holds baton tightly, with a lot of tear streaks on his face. He then opened the curtain , the sun is shining , the birds are chirping.
" Goddamnit, why is this nightmare still inside my head, is it because of Taro? I saw his appearance is actually the same as the one that fucking killed Usako in front of my eyes, But why does this happen to me, How come he knows where I am?" Mamoru begin to thought as he sweat heavily. And quickly grabs his bag of tuxedo clothing and his baton. "I have to get ready for the next plan to kill Taro." He said as he quickly dressed to his casual clothing.
" Usagi, are you awake?" Taro asked as he gently shake her body.
"What, its morning already?" Usagi rubbed her eyes gently.
" Usagi, Shall we leave and go back to our house?" Venus asked.
" I want to talk to Mamo-Chan now, I know he is somewhere." Usagi said.
" Really? Usagi? You want to meet Mamoru? Don't you think he is acting strange, just like how Taro talked to Motoki on the phone last night? Motoki san says Mamoru is angry when they are at their house." Venus twitched an eyebrow.
" But, Minako chan. I don't want him to be upset." Usagi said as she lowers her head.
"Maybe this is not the right time for you to tell Mamoru? What if Mamoru mistook us as a love relationship?" Taro said with his arms crossed.
" Love relationship? Nonsense! Taro san is my friend, my trusted friend, Mamo-Chan is thinking too much!" Usagi thumped her fist to the Tatami hard.
" Usagi, I know you care about Mamoru san, but you don't know what he is up to, you didn't see what Mamoru is holding?" Venus said.
" I may have see some weird stuff, but I kinda recalled that he has a tuxedo suit." Taro recalled as he lands his index finger to his chin.
" And I heard he has three weapons, which is a sickle, knife and a metal pipe." Venus said.
" Sickle?!" Why is Mamo Chan that cruel? He never have these weapons in his entire life." Usagi shrieked as she lands her hand to her lips.
" Maybe I should beat Mamoru, until he yield." Taro gripped his knuckles tightly as he grits his teeth." Don't he even dare hurt Usagi, since I saved her life."
" Taro san! Don't do anything Stupid, and please don't hurt Mamo-Chan!" Usagi grabs his arm tightly as she cried once more.
" Usagi, it's ok, I won't fight Mamo Chan." Taro promised her as he pats her shoulder.
" I'll go with you also." Venus said.
They finished their breakfast and check out.
" Have a nice day, Usagi." The female staff said. " Hey, you have a guest named Mamoru right?"
" Yes, Where is Mamo-Chan?" Usagi asked.
" I think he is in his room. Let me check." The female staff said as she typed the computer.
" I hope Mamo Chan is fine." Usagi said.
" I'm sorry, Mamoru had checkout for a few minutes ago."
" Then we have to go quick!" Taro said as he pulled Usagi and Venus away.
" Wait!" The female staff shouted, but they left. " I was trying to say that Mamoru changed to Tuxedo mask, and he left , holding a baton with a sickle on the end, How come I didn't notice he is holding a weapon ? I hope they are alright." She muttered
As Mamoru changed to Tuxedo Mask, he is hiding everywhere, he has never being that sneaky, ever in his life. When he appears as a saviour, he always stand in some tall places, with a moon behind him, the moonlight shines, creating a mysterious presence to the enemy, just to let the people who are in trouble , are happy to see Tuxedo Mask again to help them. But this time, Tuxedo Mask is more careful, he knows Usagi is with Taro, he is scared that Taro would do something hurtful to her, His nightmare actually came true, The one exactly the same as the ' Demon' in his nightmare! He is so scared and so furious at the same time, he wanted to kill him cold blooded in front of his eyes. But he is afraid that Usagi would be hurt once more. The last time when Usagi was hurt is when he told her to break up, she has tears welled up in her eyes , but she is smiling; not a real smile, is a bitter smile, he can see it in her own eyes. He wants to tell her the truth of for her safety, so he spoke, he hadn't finish a word, she left. And he blames himself for not telling the truth.
" Taro san, Do you think Mamo-Chan is nearby?" Usagi asked.
" I'm not sure. But I think he will come sooner or later." Taro said.
" Let's be careful." Venus said.
Taro had already has a feeling that Tuxedo Mask is somewhere , so he quickly tapped his finger on his right temple. His mind has a digital map, shows the map of Juuban district, the houses , the city far behind the suburbs are shown specifically to him, Every movement of the residents are shown, and he used less than a minute, and know where is Tuxedo Mask. He is hiding in the bushes, holding his baton like a sniper.
" Usagi, Look out!" Taro said as he pushes Usagi and Venus away, he himself got stabbed by the knife.
" Ouch!" Taro screamed as the sharp knife, stab his left abdomen.
" TARO SAN!" Usagi and Venus screamed.
" UrK!" Taro pulled the knife off , he is bleeding yellow, it's not real blood, but it's some glittery sparkles.
" Taro, Don't you dare hurt Usako! You are fucking working with Galaxia and Nehelenia!" Tuxedo Mask said as he holds his Baton with a large sickle on the end.
" Galaxia and Nehelenia? I helped Ultraman and Seven, Brother Zoffy, Jack and Ace to fight against them!" Taro said as he pressed his gut , avoiding his 'Blood' to come out.
" Lies, Taro! ALL FUCKING LIES!" Tuxedo Mask cursed as he holds his baton with a sharp sickle.
" Woah!" Taro quickly dodged his Baton left and right, but he is cornered by Tuxedo Mask, he is near a house's wall.
" How's that, Taro? How can a person who said working with Chaos can be that weak? Chaos will lose this kind of Useless, selfish prick , fucking henchman, that wants to kill Usako, and kiss Galaxia and Nehelenia?" Tuxedo Mask laughed as he holds his sickle, which is inches to Taro's neck.
Taro had been in a big pinch before, when he is fighting Alien Terrorist ( From Ultraman Taro Episode 38, feel free to check in YouTube) he is having a hard time to fight against him, because one of the members of ZAT( Ultraman Taro's earth defence team) warned Taro not to let the alien to hit the industrial gas, or might it will cause a large he tried his best to avoid Terrorist to attack, but when the alien shoots some missiles to Taro, he used his body to defend himself, it does some damage, until The alien holds his blade to his shoulder, he is injured, and got beat into a pulp, until a young girl throws a crystal ball to the alien, so he can defeat the alien easily. But this time, he cannot even hit Tuxedo Mask , or even fire his attack, the classic Storium Ray , or even use his bracelet to transform into a weapon to get free of himself, he doesn't know want to do. If he moved one single muscle, The sickle can eventually ripped his neck , plus, his gut is bleeding, he may cannot hold on for more than three minutes, once he is injured or use up to much Energy, or might he will die.
"Mamo-Chan! Please stop!" Usagi shouted.
" I don't trust you! Usako! You are hanging out with this Silver weirdo, This guy, is the one in the nightmare, he kissed Nehelenia, and Galaxia in front of my eyes, while I was injured badly, by this scum's Dark Ray." Tuxedo Mask growled as he grips the sickle, tightly.
" He's not a villain!" Venus yelled as she spreads her arms, defending Taro.
" Move, Minako! " Tuxedo Mask warned as he lands a sickle near to her neck." You want me to kill you? As an accomplice, to defend this ' Demon'?"
" He's not a villain! He helped Usagi to fight Queen Beryl! He soothed her to cheer up!" Venus cried as she shed tears, and hugged Taro's waist.
" Mamo-Chan, Please trust Minako Chan! She's right! Taro san is a good person!" Usagi shook Tuxedo Mask's shoulders and she cried.
" Usagi, Don't interfere me! " Tuxedo Mask yelled as he shrugged off Usagi's shoulder.
" Mamo-Chan, You're not acting as the Mamoru I knew when I first met you!" Usagi cries so hard as hugged Tuxedo Mask's waist tightly.
" I guess I have no choice, Mamoru, You're pissing me off, and I've been trying to tell you the truth, and you just can't control yourself, you're making me so embarassed. " Taro thought as he crossed his hands, and unleashed a X-shaped beam, the beam shocked Tuxedo Mask, he stumbled back and forth, then he pulls his cape , and take Usagi away.
" Usagi, guess I have a lot of things to ask you, why you are hanging out with this 'Demon'."
" No, Mamo-Chan , he's a good guy!"
" Shut up. I'm saving your life!" Tuxedo Mask scowled. " And stop calling me Mamo-Chan."
" Why? I thought you like me?"
" You already have that 'demon' as your boyfriend, why you call me ' Mamo-chan'? We'll talk about this later after we head home." Tuxedo Mask huffed as he grabs Usagi's arm tightly.
" What is going on here? Aren't you trying to speak to Mamoru about your appearance, You're making things worse here!" Venus said.
" I'm not, Minako Chan. He doesn't want me to talk, he hates me even more, because of Usagi, she hugs me." Taro tries to breath , as his gut is bleeding more, he lost his balance, as he sat on the ground, breathing heavily.
Jack and Mercury are walking in the street, as they are talking about their personal life. As they saw Venus and Taro are at the pavement, Venus is holding Taro's hand, while Taro is leaning on the lamppost, his left hand is pressing his gut.
" Minako Chan!" Are you alright?" Mercury rushed as she to her friend.
" Taro san,,,, is..,bleeding…" Venus choked between her sobs.
" Taro!" Jack shouted as he pressed his gut.
" What do we do now? I don't want to die!" Taro asked as he shivered.
" Let me heal you, Taro, take a deep breath." Jack soothed him, as he pressed his gut, his bleeding just stopped for a while.
" You're fine, Taro san!" Venus hugs him as she grinned with happy tears.
" Minako Chan, don't be happy yet, This effect can only last for three minutes, only my parents can heal them with their powers, normal medication won't help." Jack said.
" So, Even my healing powers wont help Taro san, Jack san?" Mercury's voice quavered.
" Yes, I'm sorry." Jack apologised as he bowed to his girlfriend.
" Jack, please take me to my parents, quick…" Taro about to lose his consciousness as he spoke.
" No problem , Taro." Jack said as he lands a hand on his shoulder.
" Take us with you, Jack san." Venus and Mercury said in unison.
"Sure."
Then Jack used teleportation , and they head to the Land of Light to heal Taro.
