"Earth Cosmic Power!"
Nothing...
"Earth Cosmic Power!"
Still nothing...
"Why can't I transform!?" Take shouted mostly to herself. She slammed her fist on the cold hard marble ground.
Take release a few tears of frustration. She had to get out of here. Sailor Moon and the others were in danger. She could sense it. She got over feeling helpless and started to try to do something about her current situation. But so far, her attempts to transform back into her senshi form have met failure.
"What can I do now?" Take wondered to herself, as red eyes looked on from behind her.
"Where are we?" Mars asked, with a huff.
"We're on the outskirts of Zero Star..." Sailor Moon replied.
Sailor Mars looked at Sailor Moon in shock.
"Oh my god! You actually know where we are!?"
Sailor Moon tried to push the flood of memories away in her mind.
"It was right before the final showdown with Galaxia..." she softly said.
Mars's eyes soften a little. She forgot the pain Sailor Moon went through before.
"I'm sorry, Usagi..." Mars said. "I forgot..."
Sailor Moon gave her fellow scout a re assuring smile.
"Don't worry!"
Sailor Aquarius and Sailor Libra looked on from behind.
"Those two seem to be really close..." Aquarius said.
"Just a little..." Libra replied.
"Hey you guys..." Leo piped in. "When do you think we'll get there?"
"In just a moment..." Libra replied.
High in a tower of the Ice palace, Emerald stood watch, observing the approaching Sailor Senshi. She turned on her heel to alert her lord and master.
"GRRR! I wanna break something!" Juno cried out in frustration.
"Juno... calm down..." Vesta said, rolling her eyes.
Chibi looked on at her arguing guardians. The future Sailor Mars walked up to her.
"Your parents have been informed about what's happening. We're prepared for anything to happen." She said.
"Somehow..." Chibi Moon said, looking up into the sky. "I don't have a good feeling about this..."
Helios placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder.
"Don't worry too much, Maiden. We're here to help..." he said, referring to himself and the Asteroid Senshi.
Chibi Moon smiled.
"I know..."

"My lord..."
Cronus turned from the giant view of the cauldron towards his subjects.
"We spotted Sailor Moon and a few of the other senshi heading towards Zero Star..." Emerald reported.
Sapphire, Opal, and Ruby nodded in agreement.
Cronus chuckled to himself.
"So they decided for the final battle to be here..." He said.
"My lord?"
"Ruby... go to the future and destroy the moon brat and her friends. Sapphire, I want you to go to Earth in the present, and bring back the Earth Prince alive. The heirs to the Earth Terrain throne have to be alive for the final stage."
"We understand my lord..." Ruby and Sapphire said, disappearing.
"Emerald, why don't you go and greet our guests..."
"It'll be my honor, Lord Cronus..."
Then Emerald was next to disappear.
Opal narrowed her eyes.
"What duty will you have me perform, my lord?" she asked.
Cronus's gaze moved back to the window.
"There is... unfinished business with you and the Earth Guardian..." he simply said.
Opal went to the depths of her mind... remembering all of her encounters with the Senshi of Earth...
Flash back
"Earth Terrain Attack!"
The green orb zoomed passed Opal. When the ground below them started to spread apart and huge earth mounds rose just as lightning, Opal moved to dodge them just as quick as they appeared.
"Opal Gem Attack!"
A bright light blinded Sailor Earth and Kiki. Then, Sailor Earth screamed from pain, as Opal slashed her right shoulder open.
Sailor Earth collapsed onto her knees and her left hand shot for her wound. Sailor Earth breathed deeply as Opal landed. There was a glaive in her hand, its tip covered with fresh blood.
Sailor Earth was now starting to get frustrated. She got up.
"Don't!" Kiki shouted, but Sailor Earth ignored her.
"Amazon Vine Constrict!"
Green Vines busted from the ground and wrapped themselves around Opal. Just as quickly as she was able to dodge Sailor Earth's first attack, she sliced the vines off her body.
She's good. I don't think I can beat her.
"You should leave the game of war to the grown ups, little girl." Opal sneered as she released another energy beam, causing more pain for Sailor Earth. Opal never ceased the energy blasts. Sailor Earth felt her body slowly numb. She knew she lost this fight, but she couldn't give in to her father's murderer.
"Earth...Terrain..."
Before she was able to finish her attack, Opal slammed Sailor Earth to the wall, nearly breaking her back. Sailor Earth screamed in more pain. As she landed on the floor, Opal walked up to Sailor Earth.
"Please! Get up!" Kiki shouted, in a worried tone of voice.
"I... can't move..." Sailor Earth gasped.
Opal stepped on Sailor Earth's hand, causing her to scream more. Kiki pounced on Opal and bit and scratched her. Opal snatched Kiki and threw her against the wall opposite of them.
"Kiki!" Sailor Earth shouted. Opal grabbed Sailor Earth by the roots of her hair and pulled her close to her face.
"How sad." Opal said. "You're just too weak. I thought this was going to be an interesting fight with a sailor senshi. But I guess I over estimated you."
Opal then raised her glaive high above her head.
"Say farewell to life." Opal said.
Then, Opal hesitated and she wasblasted away from Sailor Earth.
"What the hell...!?" Opal shouted.
A bright light surrounded Sailor Earth and she disappeared.
"Where are you!?" Opal shouted into the empty great hall.
End of flashback
Opal clenched her fist together.
"Torment her..." Cronus spoke up again.
"Make her remember everything... make her suffer..."
Opal released an evil smirk.
"Yes my lord..."
