6. The Villain – Ministry of Magic
Oh, you think you're prepared, do you? You think you've got what it takes? Oh no, no, no, no, no, you poor, simple child.
You should know, I've been doing this for a long time. I really have! I've been training for this.
Ever get the sense that time is gaining on you? It's like a predator, it's stalking you. Oh, you can try and outrun it, wave your wand, jump on your broom, but in time, Harry Potter, time's going to hunt you down. And make the kill.
Y-you can't kill me! I'm Harry Potter! I've sold lots of books!
Your fame counts for nothing, Harry Potter, in the end, it's you, it's me, and all the powers of hell. You can't hide. You can only die.
Sailor Moon fought the shiver that climbed down her spine. Queen Beryl, in the flesh, stood before her... With Prince Endymion kneeling at her side – kissing her, gazing up at her in admiration. The blonde squared her shoulders.
"You can brainwash him all you want, Beryl," she spat. "But his heart will always rule over his head. He'll never love you! Not like he loves me!" She took a battle stance, arm poised, ready to retrieve her tiara at a moment's notice.
Queen Beryl laughed; one that seemed to echo around Sailor Moon herself, wrapping its cold form around her body, prying its humourless fingers into her very being. "Oh, you think you're going to fight me? How charming you are, Princess."
"I'm going to kill you, you evil witch."
But Beryl turned her head, craning down her shoulder to peer at the top of Prince Endymion's head. Her lips quirked to the side. "Oh, I'd much rather watch you fight my new warrior and soon-to-be-King. Prince Endymion, take care of her!"
Sailor Moon gasped. "No! Endymion! She's the enemy! Endymion!" She stumbled back as the man began prowling towards her, like a leopard hunting its pray. "Mamoru!" she tried desperately. "Tuxedo Kamen! MAMORU!"
"It's no use," Beryl laughed cruelly. "You can't turn him against me. He'll never turn against his Queen!"
And as she said this, the leopard began his attack. And he was aiming to kill.
