Chapter 7: Unravels

"Good this time it spread well." Sedna nodded to Varune at his work.

"I'm surprised the Guardian Scouts haven't come out to play though?" Varune acknowledged.

"Do you think-" Sedna bit her lip, watching Lethe move about the town. "Those girls earlier…I'm quite sure they were the same girls that tried to call me out yesterday."

"So you did catch on."

Sedna and Varune turned to see Ixion behind them, standing on the roof as well. His vest was similar to Varune's but a burnt orange red with square shoulder guards. His cuffs, while similar to Varune's, were pointed at the elbow in the same burnt orange. His black pants didn't slouch like Varune's either, but instead fell inside two boots. His red brown hair waved down from his forehead, dusted over his boyish golden-rust eyes to his smirking mouth and his arms crossed, showing off his muscle and his gold-brown fingerless gloves.

"What do you mean catch on?" Varune looked darkly at him. Varune never really liked Ixion's ways. Ixion had tried to woo Sedna long before he'd made a pact with her to rule the reign of the dark waters together.

"I've been watching. I find it so pathetic that the people of this planet are so weak…but I also wanted to know what works too." Ixion shrugged, his smirk biding across his face in charm.

"Is that spite I hear for the people of this planet or the one whose supposed to rules?" Sedna looked challenging at him. She also knew his methoods well. Ixion had gotten himself into deep waters in the past, and always tried to undo it with his own heated ways.

Ixion ignored it. "I noticed the same thing. I'm quite positive you may have knocked them out too soon... But I'm waiting to see how it goes. Our Queen of the scorned planets such as ourselves already gave me my two kakoi for when your turn has past."

"What makes you so confident in all of this?" Varune asked.

Ixion turned to leave, his eyebrows lifted and shoulders shrugged. "I could never forget that face; the face of purity that my fire has not yet singed. "

"What a Romeo. That will be his downfall you know?" Sedna said shaking her head.

"It was then. But if he is right, then we may have already succeeded." Varune said.

"Of course, then we don't have to worry about-" Sedna's eyes caught their demon girl. "What could Lethe be doing chasing after a studious student again? Her targets are dwindling-" Sedna rolled her eyes, leaning against Varune, her pale blue curls falling onto his shoulder.

"She only remembers one thing. Relax." Varune said, putting his chin on her head. "We'll go make sure it turns out."

"Remember to forget!" Lethe called out at the bespectacled young boy.

"Let me go, you enormous monstrosity!" The boy was cornered in an empty parking lot.

"Let the kid go!"

"Huh?" Lethe turned to see seven Sailor Scouts and one Tuxedo Mask.

"How dare you try to force this hard working student to forget who he is and all he's studied for!" Mercury called out.

"We don't all have the best memory, and I'm not about to forsake those who have a good or bad one! Nobody is perfect and you are a perfect pain that we're not going to let do this any longer!" Uranus called out.

"On behalf of the Sailor Scout's we will punish you!"

"And I thought we might have actually gotten rid of you." Sedna appeared above the scene as the boy crept away and almost fled before she held out a hand and some black watery tentacles kept him in place. Her eyes shifted to Varune; they both were wondering if Ixion had been right at all.

"Hah, takes more than a little seed or two to get us!" Sailor Moon called out, as the others sighed.

"I can't imagine you all have a perfect memory…you seemed to have all forgotten the dark past you came from." Varune looked lamely at them.

"Why don't you just spit out what's bugging you!" Jupiter challenged.

"Nah, we like the Suspense. It's nice to have a one up from your planetary tirents for a change." Sedna laughed. "It's also nice to see that Neptune has finally shown up. It will be a good day to see the deepest parts of the waters overcome the skimming foams overshadowing above us for so long."

"Lethe will help us do those honors for now." Varune motioned to Lethe.

"Lethe only knows one thing: Spread the Seeds!" The purple skinned monster with a braid sticking out behind her as if held by gel, released seeds from her mark.

They all scattered missing them.

"Deep Submerge!"

Neptune's Wave flushed the enemy against a nearby brick wall.

"We need something better before she strings us up again." Tuxedo Mask pointed out.

"She said she could only remember one thing. What if that thing is the string?" Uranus motioned at the ribbon.

"I did that as a kid when I was younger." Venus nodded. "It fits."

Mercury used her glasses. "While her energy source is from the Seed, it seems like her power is emitted from that ribbon."

"So how do we get rid of it so I can heal her?" Sailor Moon asked warily. She didn't want to get seeded again.

"Which one of our powers can get rid of a ribbon? Well I never thought I'd see the day that'd would be our dilemma." Jupiter mentioned.

"I got this." Mars nodded. "String can't handle my fire."

"In that case, we'll distract her in various directions." Tuxedo Mask suggested.

"Too much work how about this." Jupiter shook her head. "Sparkling Wide Pressure!"

Lethe was electrocuted by the blast of energy. "Ahgghgh!"

"Not fair! I my turn to strike! Wait…" Lethe went to stand up and held up her finger.

"Wrong move sister!" Mars shouted. "Mars Flame Sniper!"

Mars' flame shot right at her finger, and singed the ribbon.

"What!? WHAT? NO! But I was supposed to remember one thing- I can only remember one thing- but now I'm forgetting- oh what was it- Master Varune?!" Lethe looked for Varune but the two had already left. She knocked at her head as if trying to get information out the same way one gets water out of their ear.

"Now Sailor Moon!" Neptune called out.

"Right! Starlight Honeymoon Therapy Kiss!"

"NOO!"

They watched as the Seed escaped Mimzy's body as she collapsed. It flew high into the air and suddenly sunk back into the sky as if it had escaped, teleporting back to their lair.

Mimzy woke up slowly. "Ooh my head. What's happening? Why aren't I at school!" She sat up from a bench.

"Here!" Lita put the agenda in front of her. "We came to give this to you after school but you walked off."

"Yea you seemed a little absent. I hope school went fine?" Mina asked.

"Why am I on the bench?"

"You fell ! I think you may have been looking for your agenda actually and you bumped into that bench. You should watch where your going more often!" Rei smiled.

"Oh…I'm such a klutz sometimes." Mimzy blushed. "Thank you!"

"If you ever need help on anything you should get a tutor for school! I'd help but I have a lot of studying myself for University." Ami recommended.

"Thanks! I might do that! Bye!"

"See I told you. It's Serena's long lost intellectual twin." Rei dug giving a smug look.

"Oh no, I'm not that bad…am I?" Serena looked to the others and then to Darien.

"Well…I mean we know now it could be worse?" Darien laughed nervously.

Serena sighed. "Alright. I'll try harder I swear. No more seed stuff."

"Speaking of Seed stuff, we need to check if Luna and Artemis got any info on that seed before it disappeared." Lita motioned.

"Right. Lets go." Mina nodded.

"They really are a pain…but Lethe spread farther than before." Sedna admitted, leaning against the walls of the dark room. "Darling, I really will be a happy woman when we finally get to see their faces when we over take them."

"At least they are learning the extent of our wrath…especially if one of them was hit with the seed…" Varune speculated.

"But you did undermine the fantastic power of fire didn't you?" Ixion appeared smirking.

"So you favor the Mars one now do you?" Varune raised a brow.

"No, for one, my powers are much better than hers. I'd rather prefer a dove to a raven."

"So she's given you the next Seeds to spread…" Sedna looked at him.

"I really do think she gave me the best ones too…" He looked at the Seed he had.

"Best ones?" Sedna looked skeptical.

"…for my plan." Ixion smirked.

"I can't believe she's feeding your fire by giving you-" Varune started.

"Ah, ah, it's a new era my dear Varune. Who's to say I can't prevail this time? I have just the plan for my dear Kakoi of Quarrels."
