Chapter 8: The Dark Moons Obsession With the Princesses of the Moon

Melanite left the dark room with the pink haired seductress on his shoulder, but he was deep in thought. Prince Diamond seemed to have so much power and yet he was played by the Wise Man. On the other hand, this Wicked Lady seemed a key element to both their plans; strong and powerful and yet he still remained on top. He looked down at her on his shoulder. Her body was quite nice, but it was her eyes. Her face was something of goddess like beauty, even with the Nega-moon sign on her forehead. When Diamond told him she was a child he was less than interested, but a future moon princess? That snatched his attention. Knowing that even the child would turn out like this…he would have found more interest in the plot to find small lady, who was now less then small and more than Wicked.

"Melanite."

The words broke his train of thought. It was his allies. Specifically Morgan, who always felt the need to break any silence.

"Morganite." He turned to face her as she stood with Alex and Peri, as if waiting for his orders. Why they depended on him, or had no initiative he never understood…then again he was quite devious. "Our Prince has informed me that we are to destroy these Sailor Scouts."

"Of course, here to do his dirty work." She said while filing her nails.

"When do we start?" Alex asked eyeing up the strawberry haired Morganite at the same time.

"Well I figured Morgan would like to take the lead on this one…" Melanite said staring at Morganite.

"Me?" She said while still filing her nails. She looked up, "Why would I do the dirty work? I don't like getting my hands dirty, you know that?"

"Dirty? I don't think dirty will be a problem, it seems that you just have good reason to." He answered.

"Me? Why?"

Wicked Lady stepped forward, swaying her hips in front of Melanite, now staring at Morgan. "Because it was these sailor scouts that killed, who I believe was your sister….Emerald?" She gave her a disdaining look for her drama queen naivety that Morganite continued to upkeep.

"They did, did they?" She stopped doing her nails, to look up angrily, and flipped open her black fan in her hand. When she gave that look she had an uncanny resemblance to Emerald, and that fan and short dress just added to their similar appearance.

"Well I'll be off then." She continued. "Goodbye Alex." She danced around the pale mint- green haired man, flirtatious with a loud giggle before disappearing in a void of black energy. She was like Emerald...a lot like Emerald.

"Alex, if she needs assistance go to help her." Melanite instructed.

"I planned on it." Alexandrite nodded walking off with Peridot following closely behind.

"It seems we are alone again." Melanite turned to Wicked Lady.

"It seems we are." She giggled as she walked back over to him.

The slit in her dress teemed distracting to his eyes. Even the low cut top was distracting to him. He would have her. Her beauty was radiant. He saw why his cousin dear Prince Diamond has been infatuated with the other Moon girl. He would make sure that she was his, and while she was Wicked Lady, it didn't seem to be too much of a problem.

"We are my dear Wicked Lady. But we should really be returning to Prince Diamond to report that Morgan has left." He smiled to her.

"Awh do we have to so soon?" she asked linking her arm back onto his.

"It will be quick then we can return to our solitude. You must know that our Prince comes first." He said this with a slight mockery to his voice.

"Of course." She giggled.

The two walked back into the other room, to see that the throne of the Prince was occupied. The shadows covered him as his legs were crossed.

"Prince Diamond Morganite has left to destroy the sailor scouts. She was enraged at the news of Emerald's out-doers."

"Good, I trust they can get rid of the sailor scouts and that damned Tuxedo Mask."

"Of course." He bowed to him.

"Well Melanite there is just one more thing I need to do then."

"And what is that Prince Diamond?" Wicked Lady asked for him.

"Introduce the new member to the Black Moon clan."

Suddenly the dim lighting revealed Prince Diamond, but then a girl sitting on the arm rest of his throne. She had a black dress with silver circles around the top of the strapless dress and underneath small round diamonds under the breasts. Wicked Lady recognized the dress as very similar to the moon princess dresses. A leg emerged from a high slit in the stress and a black high heel with a diamond and a dark moon on it stood out from the dark dress. As the lights brightened her face was revealed; her blue eyes slightly glazed over, and her head had a tiara that went around her forehead which held a dark crescent moon which she seemed to not have on her own skin. Her long blonde hair was in odangos. Around her shoulders was a red sash, similar to Wicked Lady's pink one. On her hand was an amethyst ring of diamonds, giving off a dark aura.

"Who is she?" Melanite asked looking at the blonde goddess as Wicked Lady awed in slight disgust, as she already knew what was going on.

"She is the Moon Princess Serenity…or should I say the new Dark Moon Princess."
