Chapter thirtheen : The Horrible truth, Mamoru's identity ?
Mamoru who stood in a corner, watched the five inner senshi dance. He smiled to himself. He already knew that the outer senshi had figured out his little plan and who he really was but he didn't care. All he cared about at this point was ruining the lives of the princess and those who protected her. No one could stop him anyway. With that thought on his mind he gazed back at the smiling Usagi. He couldn't stand that smile. She seemed so happy. From all he had heard he knew that without Usagi the senshi would be nothing but empty bodies who were in search for their souls. If he could only reach Usagi without being interrupted. He had the perfect chance back in the park but Rei had to show up, ruining his plans once more.
It had never been his intention for Usagi to fall out of love with him and in love with another senshi. Especially not if that senshi was Sailor Mars. She was a strong enemy in his eyes. She'd protect the princess with her life.
Minako was dancing close to Rei and Usagi when suddenly a wave of pain hit her. It wasn't anything like she had felt before. It was something evil, powerful. For the first time in her life she had actually felt frightened at this point. She already had the feeling, ever since they walked into this building, that they had been watched by someone but until now she hadn't been sure. She wondered if the others had felt it as well. But when she gazed around she noticed it had only been her. Rei and Usagi were still dancing together, as well as Ami and Makoto. Could it really be just her feelings messing with her, or was it something else.
While the blonde kept on dancing she kept looking around as well. Trying not to gain too much attention. Her eyes went wide in shock when she saw Haruka, Michiru and Setsuna standing on the balcony, holding those stern looks on their faces she knew all too well. She had been right, something was wrong. But her suspicion really was confirmed when she noticed Mamoru, who looked right back at her, waving innocently.'I have to warn the others...'
But when she turned around again to face her friends she noticed that they were the only one standing. All the guests, except for the senshi, had fallen to the ground. They appeared to be unconscious.
''What is happening here?'' Makoto yelled, eyeing Minako.
''That's what's going on!'' The blonde goddess of love yelled, pointing at Mamoru who had just stepped out of the shadows.
''Hello there ladies... We meet again.'' He started.''As you can see, i've put everyone except for you to sleep. I think there are somethings we have to work out in order to live on this world peacefully, together.''
''Mamoru, what are you talking about!'' Usagi demanded to know. She couldn't believe she had trusted him earlier. She couldn't believe how stupid she had been by forgiving him and trying to be friends.
''Well, actually me name isn't Mamoru.'' The black haired man said.
''He's a schizoprenimaniac!'' Minako yelled in shock.
''You mean to say that he's schizoprenic.'' Ami stated, earning a cold glare from the blonde.
''No no, dear Ami, my real name is Hattori, I'm a devil from a distant planet far away from your lovely solar system. I came here to take revenge on those who dared to fight my evil forces. Sailor Mercury, Sailor Venus, Sailor Mars, Sailor Jupiter and Serenity...I'm here to kill all of you.''
''Meaning...You're not the real Mamoru?'' Ami asked. Mamoru just nodded, before he started glowing and transformed into a green being.
''What the hell are you?'' Makoto hissed.
''Where's the real Mamoru!'' Usagi yelled, she had to know if Mamoru was save. But her concern changed into guilt when she looked at the raven haired girl. Rei was looking as if she had seen a ghost. They both knew what this had meant. Mamoru had never cheated on Usagi which meant that Usagi never fell out of love with Mamoru since she never fell in love with the demon version of him. It had just been a clone, trying to mess them up.
''I've been here for two months now, examining you. Watching you save the world from all evil...But no more Serenity. The time has come for you and your gang to die out.'' Hattori laughed, while putting his hand up to the air in which a large sword appeared.''Prepare yourselfs to die!''
''Try us!'' Makoto hissed, taking her henshin in her hands.''Jupiter star power, make up!'' For a moment it stayed silent, until nothing happened. Makoto just stood there, dressed in normal clothing.''W-what...''
Hattori bursted out into laughter.''I'm not a fool...Before you entered this building I took away all your powers.''
''Eat this!'' Suddenly a voice yelled.''World shaking!'' For a moment Hattori had no idea what was happening until a golden ball of energy hit him. Much to everyone's suprise the attack had no effect on him at all.
''I don't understand, I made a direct hit...'' Sailor Uranus hissed. Also Sailor Pluto as sailor Neptune jumped towards the other senshi.
''''You're powers are useless against me.'' The demon calmly stated. He was obviously very certain about his chances of winning.''But since i'm such a good sport I'll let the three of you stay to watch those five die, after that i'll finish the three of you...''
''Don't be such a damn macho!'' Makoto hissed, putting her henshin away again.''We may not be able to transform to beat you but we'll get rid of you for sure and then we'll save the prince!''
''You honestly believe that Kino?'' Hattori asked the brunette as she stepped closer to her. Much to his dismay he was stopped by Sailor Pluto who pressed her staff against the demon.
''Touch her and i'll make an end to your bluffing.'' She pressed.
Once again the demon bursted out into laughter.''You women are so foolish. You always keep having faith in your so called powers and friendship. But what will happen when I kill Uranus' precious Neptune, or what will happen when Serenity dies when you couldn't protect her? You'll all feel guilty and angered, in your case anger makes you weak.''
'He studied us well. He knows our weaknesses, our fears...' Ami thought. But even though he had a head start on them she wouldn't give up hope yet. Everyone has a weakness, even Hattori had to have one. With that thought in mind she looked at the raven haired girl and her princess who both stood there, looking at the demon with a shocked look on their faces. Ami had also figured out what this meant. Usagi and Mamoru had a lot of things to talk about. But most of all, Ami wasn't sure if Usagi would be able to choose between Rei and Mamoru.
''Shut up!'' Sailor Pluto yelled, losing control before pushing the demon to the ground with her weapon.''Dead..Scream!'' She said while aiming her attack on the demon who smiled, as if someone had just told him a joke. Just like Sailor Uranus' attack, the dead scream didn't have any effect. It just hit him. With another smirk on his face he got up again, creating a black energy ball and throwing it at the two outer senshi who had just attacked him before.
Sailor Neptune, who most of the time was vert reserved acted with her heart this time and instead of attacking the demon she run towards her two fellow senshi, seeing if there was any way for them to get up and fight again. Much to her own suprise, both senshi were unconscious. They had to be careful, this Hattori was strong.
Minako just watched the scene from the place she was standing. Seeing that Neptune didn't even try to attack the demon proved a lot. But it had never been the fighting style of the outer senshi to give up. Could it be they had a plan, or was it possible that even the outers knew there was no winning. The blonde took a deep breath at that thought. How in the name of love were they going to defeat Hattori when they had no power?
''Usagi, you can try to awaken your powers as a princess...'' Makoto said, turning towards the blonde girl who still hadn't moved after finding out the truth.''Usagi, Usagi are you there? There's no time for games now, say something!''
''It seems the truth as done more damage than I could hope for.'' The demon stated with a smirk.''You know, when I saw how strong the relationship between the princess and the senshi of mars had become I had my doubts but now...I see that our dear princess still loves her prince very much. It was me who you hated, the one you couldn't stand. I wonder where that'll leave your relationship...''
''You had no right to do this!'' Neptune screamed, transforming back into Michiru. ''No one should interfere in someone's love life. Sure, me and Haruka had this conversation a lot of times. We know how much is at stake with the relationship between the princess and a senshi, but love is our future. Not our destiny. That's why I choose to love Haruka. I assume the same counts for Ami and Makoto. A love between senshi is forbidden but we decided to break that rule anyway. We broke may rules...''
''She's right...'' Minako said, snapping back to reality.''As long as there's love there's hope. An dI have faith in my princess, I have faith in my friends.''
''So be it!'' Hattori screamed before creating another black ball of energy which obviously was directed at the inner senshi and Usagi.
