The creature began to walk towards the sailors. They stood their ground expecting a fight. As it got closer, Sailor Mercury began to walk forward towards the dark creature. The other sailors stopped her.
"Mercury, what are you doing?" said Sailor Moon.
"I have to go to him."
"Uh Mercury, in case you've forgotten, let me refresh your memory. Some weirdo shows up and wipes the floor with us then this guy shows up and beats, no wait, vaporizes said weirdo with just one attack when we couldn't even scratch him! Not to mention the fact that Kyousuke went missing when he appeared," said Sailor Venus.
"We need to question him about what he's done with Kyousuke," said Sailor Uranus.
"That is Kyousuke!"
The girls had a stunned look on their faces.
"Say that again," said Sailor Venus
"That is Kyousuke, I saw him change."
With that said she broke from her friends and ran over to the demon-like being. She and the creature stopped at a foot away from each other and examined one another. She changed back into her civilian form and said, "Kyousuke?"
"A-mi?" it muttered.
The creature then started to fade away leaving a person in its place. To everyone's surprise: it was Kyousuke. They couldn't believe it was him who had transformed into the black creature and fought and defeated Baal with ease.
"Ami, are you Okay?" he said.
"Yeah, but what about you. You were stabbed, weren't you?" replied Ami, looking at the area where Kyousuke was wounded.
"Your wound is gone!" said Ami.
Kyousuke looked at the spot on his chest where he had been injured. The slash that was inflicted by Baal had run across the boy's birthmark. But something that should have been fatal or at the very least take a few weeks to heal had already done so in a matter of minutes, again. Now his birthmark no longer looked like a scar, it was one.
"Ami, what's going on?" Kyousuke said, worried.
"Baal has fallen," said Lord Gabriel, "for your sake, you better not fail me again, Lillith!"
"Of course, Lord Gabriel," said Lillith.
"Looks like we just missed him." Komugi gazed over the battlefield.
"That may be so, however, now that his power has been awakened it'll be easier to find him," said Koyori.
"I'm getting something in… that direction." Komugi pointed towards the southern areas.
"Then let's get going."
At Rei's temple, the girls were inside explaining what had happened while Kyousuke sat outside on the snow-covered porch, collecting his thoughts. Inside, the others were stunned.
"Kyousuke transformed into a what?!" yelled Rei.
"He transformed into some kind of demon thing," said Usagi.
"We were attacked by some strange person with dark powers," said Makoto, "We would've been done for if Kyousuke hadn't changed into that thing."
Luna then hopped onto the table and said, "What do you mean exactly?"
"This guy named Baal attacked Kyousuke. We tried to fight him but for some reason we couldn't scratch him!" Minako started.
"It's true, we threw everything but the kitchen sink at the guy and he just brushed it off!" Usagi included.
"But then Kyousuke transformed and beat the living sh-" Minako was about to go on but then remembered there were children present. "I mean he started pulling moves straight out of a kung-fu film. And then he finished him off with some strange attack. He completely vaporized the guy"
"How is it that you all couldn't hurt this Baal person yet Kyousuke could?" asked Luna
"I can answer that!" said a voice.
"Who's there!?" shouted Haruka.
"Hello!" a pink haired girl dropped from the ceiling.
"Must you always make a racket, flat chest?" another girl appeared but this one was in the doorway to the yard. The pink haired girl growled at the flat chest insult.
"Who the hell are you?" demanded Haruka.
Kyousuke then rushed in. "What's going on!?"
"Hey, hey Koyori, I think that's him."
"Hmm," Koyori gave Kyousuke a quick glance. "Yep, he's the black angel alright. And he's not bad to look at either."
Everyone in the room tensed up.
"Why does everyone keep calling me that?"
The pink haired jumped down.
"Well if you want to know, I'll fill in some of the blanks for you. By the way, the name's Komugi." She pointed at the girl in the doorway. "That's my 'partner' Koyori." Everyone could tell that these newcomers didn't get along very well. Komugi then started.
"To start off, the being you fought, Baal, is part of a group that call themselves 'the Soul Hunters.' Now as to explain why you couldn't harm him, it's actually quite simple. You see you girls plus Koyori and myself are what we like to call 'Monomagia' or one magic. Everyone in the world is monomagia. The Soul Hunters, however, are known as 'Dimagia' or two magics. They're basically angels that have had demonic power been introduced into their bodies and vice versa. As a result, their power, for a better word, 'functions' on entirely different wavelength."
Koyori then took her turn. "Because of this, any strike you execute won't cause any damage."
Minako raised her hand. "Question, does that mean Kyousuke is one of these dimagia since he could hurt him?"
"No, Kyousuke is what is known as a 'Trimagia' or three magics. He's a combination of demon, angel, and human all rolled into one. As to how that is so, even we are not sure. But nevertheless, he also 'functions' on the same wavelength as the soul hunters," Koyori answered.
"I think I understand, Baal wanted to kill Kyousuke because he was the only one who isn't on their side that could harm them," said Ami
"Exactly! They see him as a threat to their plans."
Haruka then stepped forward.
"How do you two know so much about this?"
"Well you see, Koyori is a demon from Hell and I am an angel from Heaven. We were sent on a mission to find him and here we are."
Kyosuke stood up and headed for the door.
"Where are you going?" Usagi asked.
"To find some answers," Kyousuke replied
"How are you going to do that, Kyousuke?" asked Ami.
"I'm heading back to my mom's church, there's gotta be a clue there," said Kyousuke.
"I'll go with you," said Ami.
"We'll all go," said Mamoru, from behind. The others all nodded in agreement.
Later on, the group arrived at the abandoned church. Some areas still had the police tape from the night Kyousuke was stabbed.
"This brings back some painful memories," said Kyousuke.
The group advanced to the front door to enter. Haruka jiggled the doorknob.
"It's locked."
"I still have a key. Hopefully, they haven't changed the locks or anything," said Kyousuke.
Kyousuke fiddled with the lock for a moment to unlock the door. Fortunately, the key still worked. Once inside, the gang looked around in awe.
"What exactly do you hope to find here?" asked Minako.
"My mom's dairy. She always wrote in it," said Kyousuke, "I'm hoping we might find some answers to how and why I have this power of mine."
"Well then, we better split up and look for it," said Rei.
"What does it look like?" asked Usagi.
"It's split into 2 parts, one is a little, black book with a golden cross on the cover," said Kyousuke.
"What's the other half?" asked Haruka.
"It's a black floppy disk," said Kyousuke.
"What if we find similar disks?" asked Michiru.
"It'll say 'Nero Angelo' on it," said Kyousuke.
"'Nero Angelo?' what's that?" asked Hotaru.
"It's Italian for 'Black Angel'" said Setsuna.
Kyosuke had a sudden flashback of the night he was stabbed.
"Do you think your mother knew about this?" asked Ami.
"Is that why she did it?" Kyousuke said in a dejected tone. "Is that why mom tried to kill me? Because I'm some kind of freak?"
Ami saw the sadness in Kyousuke's eyes and moved to console him.
The gang took a moment to think about this matter. The silence was broken soon by Chibiusa.
"Well we're not gonna find out anything by just standing here."
"Yeah, that diary isn't find itself," said Minako.
"We will split into groups of two and meet back here in an hour," said Haruka.
The party then split off into groups of 2. Everyone went off into different directions to find the two pieces of the diary.
A/N: That's another one down.
I just started working on a Sailor Moon/Devil May Cry fic. What happens is this: the Dark Kingdom is back and Beryl and her little flunkies have stolen some devil arms from Dante's office. He goes after them to Japan to get them back and meets the senshi but is surprised to see a certain item in Sailor Moon's hand: Yamato.
Let me know if I should keep going.
