I don't own any Sailor Moon characters


Ichiro watched the city, his back to the shadows where Osamu was watching him. "Want to play chess little brother?" Ichiro asked without looking behind.

"Sure." Osamu answered stepping out of the shadows. They moved to a chess table.

"Mother sent you?" Ichiro asked.

"Of course." Osamu replied moving his rook.

"What do you think about our mother, the Empress?" Ichiro asked moving his knight.

"We are just pawns to be used and disposed by as needed by the Empress." Osamu told his brother.

Ichiro sighed "I swear you never think of yourself ever. At least fall in love brother!"

"I will if I meet the right girl." Osamu told him.

FLAME SNIPER! Sailor Mars cried as she shot her flame arrow at the monster. It screamed in agony as it hit true.

Silver Moon Crystal Power Kiss Sailor Moon called out as she destroyed the monster completely.

Sighing relieved they looked around at the wreckage. It would take weeks for everything to be rebuilt. Hearing the ambulances they jumped off leaving the wreckage for the authorities to find.

To their surprise they found a man on the roofs with them and it wasn't Tuxedo Mask. Long fire red hair drifted in the breeze, the moon flashed revealing a smirking figure in armor similar to Prince Endemion.

"Who are you?!" Sailor Moon demanded.

"I… am Prince Ichiro of the Empire." he told them proudly and after a moment he burst out laughing.

They all tensed when they heard his laugh. It was cruel and cold, sending chills up their spines.

Sailor Moon tried to step back but found she couldn't move. She screamed causing everyone else to try to move closer to her but found they also couldn't move. "What's going on?!" Sailor Jupiter demanded.

The laughter died down "I never thought the famous Sailor Scouts would fall for something this simple." he chuckled at their panic. "Go ahead and fight it. You won't win before you are sent to my Empress. Where she will do as she will to you." he chuckled and made a sign with his hands.

Thinking quickly Venus aimed her finger and whimpered Crescent Beam. A beam of light erupted from her finger shattering the sign freeing them. He staggered back cursing.

Oak Evolution! Jupiter sent electric leaves at him causing him to hit the brick wall across the alley. He seemed to look above them to a building taller than them, his eyes pleading. He whispered "Please help me brother…"

"I will help you…" a voice came from the roof above them. A flame whip out of nowhere and wrapped itself around Prince Ichiro's neck. He screamed in pain as the flame began to eat away at his skin.

They whipped around to stare at the new figure. The only characteristic they could tell he had was his ember eyes. "You are an embarrassment to the Empire Ichiro." The figure told the prince "The Empress has decreed that you are to die." Cape billowing the figure disappeared leaving them.

The screams stopped. Turning they found that Prince Ichiro was a pile of ash now. Softly the wind blew the ash away revealing a lion figure.

It just looked at them and ran off disappearing a few feet away.
