Here we are; Chapter 3. This chapter was a terrible pain in the ass to write, on account of it being pretty much a massive fight scene. And this is just chapter 3. Wait till you see what chapter 8 has in store for you (foreshadowing!). Oh yeah, a little off topic here, but those of you who've been waiting for a Deadly Hunters update (both of you), get ready, 'cause it'll be comming soon. Anyway, back to the story at hand, please enjoy the gargantuan display of bloodshed and badassery that is chapter three of Agents of the Night! Please Read & Review. Oh yeah, I don't own Sailor Moon. Thought I'd throw that out there.

Stare into the Night
-Night-
"Are you serious?" Raye squealed. "Amy found herself a guy?" Serena, Raye, Lita, Mina, and Amy were all hanging out that night.
"No!" Amy cried out, blushing bright red. "I didn't find anyone! He's just a guy I ran into!"
"You sure talked to him a lot after class." Lita leaned in.
"He was just telling me that he finished his math homework just before he had to turn it in. It was nothing serious at all."
"You sure laughed a lot for a discussion that involves nothing but math." Serena chimed in. "You're sure you just talked about math?"
"He's funny, he makes me laugh." Amy continued to defend herself. "We're just friends, there's nothing between us, ok."
"Well, if he's your friend, he's ours too." Serena said. "So tell us more about him."
"You said his name was Michael Kurtzman, right?" Mina, who had been silent for most of the conversation, suddenly spoke up.
"Yes, that's his name." Amy replied. "Do you know him?"
"Yeah, he's in my first period class. He sits in the back so he can sleep without the teacher noticing."
"See you guys, why would I fall for someone who sleeps in class all the time." Amy turned to the others.
"Do you know anything else about him?" Raye asked.
Mina shook her head. Before she could say anything else, a loud, shrill noise filled the air.
"What was that?" Lita cried.
"It came from the park." Amy pointed. "It sounded like someone screaming."
The screams were coming from a man who, at the present moment, was cornered by gang of four mysterious men wearing black leather jumpsuits and carrying large bayonets. "No, please," the man pleaded, "What do you want with me?"
"Ve vant yor hart." The first one snarled. This statement caused the man to scream for help even louder.
"Genug sprechen. Töten Sie ihn einfach." One of the men growled. The men raised their bayonets and prepared to descend upon their helpless victim, when another voice suddenly penetrated the scene.
"I wouldn't do that." The men spun around and faced their challenger. It stood only a few meters away from them. It was wearing a suit of pitch black armor and had on a black face-mask. It's long, black hair swayed in the gentle breeze. It's glowing yellow eye's glared evilly at them.
"Wer sind Sie?" One of the men demanded.
The thing seemed to smile beneath its mask. "Well," it sniggered darkly, "That would be telling, wouldn't it?"
Knightmare had been tracking the Nazis since they first attacked the man. It was a lucky find, since they usually attacked at random, and their victims were never pre-planned. Anyone with a heart would do. The man just happened to be walking under a building Knightmare was on when the Nazis suddenly gave pursuit. He had been following them since, leaping on rooftops in order to stay out of sight, until they had the man cornered. "Show's on." He growled and leapt from the rooftop to the street below.
"I wouldn't do that." He spoke when he landed.
The Nazis turned around immediately after he did. "Wer sind Sie? (Who are you?)" One of them yelled at him.
Knightmare smiled beneath his mask. "Well, that would be telling, wouldn't it?" He sniggered darkly.
One of the Nazis lunged at him, bayonet in the air and ready to strike. Knightmare blocked the attack with his right arm, the bayonet's blade barely scratching his armor, and smashed the Nazi in the stomach with his left fist. The Nazi doubled back, blood trickling out of his mouth. Knightmare quickly moved foreword and struck him in the head with a massive punch. He felt his enemy's skull collapse under the force of the blow. Knightmare then spotted another Nazi coming at him,
prepared to strike. He quickly leaped into the air and deployed a pair of massive steel blades from his wrists. Landing on the ground, he drove a pair of his blades into the unfortunate Nazi's face. The Nazi screamed in agony as Knightmare used his second pair to slash his abdomen open, disemboweling him. The Nazi fell to the ground in a heap of blood and intestine.
"Sterben Sie Dämon!" One of the remaining Nazis yelled as he pulled out a gun and fired twice at Knightmare. Knightmare simply lifted his fist and deflected both bullets. He lifted his other hand and fired a bright red energy bolt at his attacker. The bolt flew through the air and struck The Nazi in the face, blowing it to smithereens.
"Was sind das Bumsen Sie? (What the fuck are you?)" The last remaining Nazi cried in horror.
Knightmare lifted his hand, which suddenly divided into a mass of slithering tentacles. The tentacles swarmed the Nazi, lifted him into the air, and twisted his body in half.
"You'll never know." Knightmare sneered as he dropped the remains to the ground. He turned to the man the Nazis had been chasing, who was presently lying on the ground, looking about ready to shit his pants for the third time. "You," Knightmare snarled, "Get out."
"What the hell are you?" The man cried, terrified.
"That's none of your goddamn business." Knightmare snarled even meaner. "Now, get out while your knees are still intact."
"No!" The man cried, lifting his hands to his face, "please don't hurt me!"
Knightmare lunged at him and grabbed him by the collar. "You idiot, if I wanted to hurt you, you'd be dead already. Now, take a hint and piss the fuck off!"
"Hey, put that man down you ugly freak!" A stern voice yelled from behind Knightmare. He turned and saw 5 young girls standing several feet away from him.
The girls followed the sounds of screaming into the city's park. Arriving at the scene, they hid behind a bush and watched a huge, hulking shadow figure approach a man lying on the ground. Lying all around were the remains of four men, all dressed in black leather jumpsuits.
"No!" The man cried, lifting his hands to his face as the figure approached him, "please don't hurt me!"
"My God, what happened here?" Mina gasped.
"What is that monster?" Serena said in a hushed, frightened tone. She pointed to the figure, which had violently picked up the man by his collar and was apparently saying something to him. The girls couldn't make it out on account of the man's cries for help.
"I don't know, but it's up to no good." Lita growled. "Come on girls, let's get him."
"Lita wait-" Amy began, but Lita had already leapt out of the bushes.
"Hey, put that man down you ugly freak!" Lita yelled sternly. The figure violently threw the man to the ground, turned around and glared at her, its yellow eyes burning ferociously. The other girls climbed out of the bushes and joined Lita.
"Who the fuck are you supposed to be?" The creature sneered.
"You creep," Serena yelled. "Let's show him!"
The girls pulled out their pens and proceeded to transform.
"Mercury Star Power!"
"Mars Star Power!"
"Jupiter Star Power!"
"Venus Star Power!"
"Moon Prism Power!"
In a swirl of colors and lights, the five girls transformed into the Sailor Scouts. The creature just starred, it's head cocked to the side.
"You're in big trouble now, creepo," Serena shouted, striking a pose, "Because I'm Sailor Moon. And in the name of the moon, I will punish you!"
"Fuckin' hell." The creature groaned, rubbing its head, clearly irritated. "This is some serious bullshit."
"Hey ugly!" Mars yelled, "Pay attention to this!" She put her hands together and yelled, "Mars Fire Ignite!" A brilliant blast of flame shot from her hand, flew through the air, and smashed into the creature's chest. The creature gave out a loud cough and was knocked a few inches back. The creature recovered and glared at Raye, its yellow eyes shifting to a dangerous red color.
"What?" Mars cried, "My attack barley even fazed him!"
"You wanna fight, eh?!" The monster thundered, its red eyes glowing malevolently. "I'll show you a fucking attack!" It lifted its hand and fired a red beam at the scouts. Seconds before it struck, Mercury and Jupiter dived to the left, while Mars, Venus and Moon dived to the right. The red energy beam struck the ground and violently exploded, launching debris at the scouts.
"You disgusting cretin!" Sailor Moon yelled at the monster, "I'm going to teach you some manners!" Before she could do anything, the creature fired a transparent black energy ball at her. The ball struck her square in the stomach and launched her several feet back into a tree.
"Sailor Moon," Venus yelled, "Are you ok?"
"Venus, look out behind you!" Sailor Moon cried out weakly, pointing. Venus turned around just in time to see the monster lunging at her. Before it could reach her, a large bolt of lightning struck it in the head and knocked it backwards.
"Get away from her, you freak!" Jupiter yelled angrily.
The monster stood up. "You want some of this?!" It roared menacingly. "Come and get it!"
Jupiter ran up to the monster, her fist in the air, ready to take it down in a single punch. However, it dodged the attack, and struck Jupiter in the stomach with its fist. Jupiter stumbled back, and the monster kicked her in the face, knocking her down. It moved in for another attack, but was suddenly hit in the head by a blast of ice.
"Get away from my friend!" Mercury yelled, launching another freeze attack at the monster. This time it dodged the blast, and deployed its wrist blades. The monster leapt through the air, its blades aimed directly for Mercury's head. At the last second, Mercury stepped to the side, and the blades just cut into her right arm.
The Sailor Scouts regrouped behind the monster, who quickly turned to face them. "What are you?" Sailor Moon yelled, gearing up for another attack. The monster didn't respond, it simply lifted it's fist and smashed it into the ground. The girls felt the ground shake beneath them, and a mass of tentacles suddenly sprang out from the ground under them, lifting them into the air.
"Playtime's over." The monster snarled ferociously.
A rose suddenly flew through the air and struck the ground in front of the monster. It let out a sharp, painful growl and withdrew its tentacles. The Sailor Scouts fell harmlessly to the floor.
"Are you ok, Sailor Scouts?" A voice called from behind the monster. It turned around to face its new opponent. It was Tuxedo Mask. He was standing on a tree limb, not too far away, his cape swaying in the breeze.
"You may be tough, but I won't let you bully the Scouts around anymore!" Tuxedo Mask yelled.
"You won't have to worry about that." The monster yelled back. "I've had about enough of this shit for one night." It turned its head and looked at the Sailor Scouts, who were picking themselves off the ground. "Catch you later." It growled meanly, and with that a pair of large bat-wings deployed from it's back. The creature took a running leap and flew away. The Scouts and tuxedo Mask could do nothing but stare into the night as it vanished from view.
"What was that?" Mina asked after it disappeared.
