Ultimatum

"I'm not promising you an answer Usagi, I'm promising you hope" her words were swift and held no other meaning, hope ... that's what she promised . Minako sat in a chair opposite Neo Queen Serenity in the study room of the palace, Serenity sat beside Mamoru of course and the other Sailor Scouts were to the left on a large couch, scrupilizing every move she dare make.

Serenity nodded wisely at her words,

"why do you want to help me" she asked curiously after several minutes, Minako stood up and immediately Mamoru had unsheathed his sword and had it aimed for combat, Mina smirked, "easy King, we wouldn't want you to end up like last time" she taunted, her hands twitching...at the ready should he dare to take another step,

"why is it, you show no respect for Endymion and Serenity, they are after all your King and Queen" Rei spoke, her voice lace with venom but her words chosen tactfully due to Serenity's prescence,

"I've shown more respect than need be" Minako replied back,

"how dare you" Rei spoke, her voice was angry as she prepared herself to teach her nemisis a lesson,

"who are you" Serenity spoke up, immediately breaking up the feud between Mina and Rei, her voice was perplexed yet compassionate, she didn't know why but when she looked at the purple haired girls eyes there was a familiar hurt that she had seen long ago... somewhere.

Minako sighed,

"My Queen I am no more than a colour, a ghost of the shadows... my name is Indigo" she spoke, her voice filled with sadness,

"Is that so, and why did you disrupt the Memorial today" Serenity asked with confusion,

"I didn't 'disrupt' it, it was my day off" Minako spoke, her voice was coy and smug, and her posture was compliant of such,

"I see, and what gives you the idea that she would need your help, we have enough power to protect Usagi.. i mean the Queen... we've protected the whole world from countless enemies" Rei fumed, almost yelling at Minako.

"that may be true, but watch" Minako laughed, and with superhuman reflexes she pulled out a knife, manoevered to Usagi and held the knife to her throat, forcing her to tilt her head back,

"wait how did you do that" Lita yelled, Mamoru immediately lunged for Minako's arm but Minako dodged his attack and reached into her pocked once again pulling over 20 shurikens out.

Minako swivelled around and threw each of the shurikens, pinning each of the girls dresses causing them to trip and fall on their faces and then she swivelled around and as she saw Mamoru advance she jumped up and performed a round house kick, which knocked him to the ground and with her last three shurikens she pinned both his arms to the floor and his cape.

Then she turned back to Usagi with the blade firmly in her hand,

"you see your majesty, the warriors that you face now do not rely on ancient magic, they rely on stealth and their wits ... you can't beat them, now i'm warning you make Usagi disapear or I 'wont' be able to save you" Minako explained as she twirled the knife around in her hand and then placed it back into her dress pocket.

"I'm sorry I just can't do that, I have faith in my friends... maybe you should to" Queen Serenity spoke up as she stood up and placed a hand on Minako's shoulder, Minako groaned in frustration,

"Indigo, now I know where I've heard that name, you're responsible for the assasination of the Mizke mafia leaders, the Phi mafia leaders and over three hundred of the worlds richest businessmen" Ami explained as she pulled out the shurikens that Minako had thrown,

"So she's just a cold blooded murderer" Rei spoke, her voice once again laced with venom as she stood up from the place she had tripped.

"What do you know! None of the people I killed were innocent, they had the blood and fear of innocent people on their hands" Minako practically yelled at Rei, enraged by her accusation,

"That's not true you killed Minami Kozima, he was an honoured member of society and my friend" Rei protested,

"Ha you're friend hey, I remember this Minami Kozima and he wasn't as honourable as you would think, he sold drugs to school children, and if i'm correct he abducted that girl Usi Mika, killed her to" Minako taunted, although she knew it was the truth, Rei seemed to get even more infuriated,

"that's not true!!!" Rei burst out,

"I never thought you were naive Rei" Minako replied cooly,

Which just made Rei pause and think for a moment.

Minako then turned to Usagi, a serious look etched upon her face,

"You have one of two choices, kill Usagi or I will have to" then she turned around and walked to the window, opened it and jumped down almost two stories, landing gracefully on her feet.

"geez, hasn't she heard of a door" Makoto laughed.
