damonika2009: I wanted to have them make some amount of progress right before things would take one last step back. As for Shingo, he's growing up and seeing that not all of this is his sisters fault. And Kenji will learn.
Anonymous Y: I do appreciate yours (and Spikes) constructive critism, its how we improve as authors. To explain even a little here, cause I even asked my sister who aids in taking care of her other younger sisters when in the country and LOVES sailor Moon as I do if she were in Kenji's place how would she react. And basically yes it may seem played out but its not going to be a flip of the switch for him. He needs to have things proving him wrong in all corners despite what he finds to use against someone to accept that HE is wrong. This will I THINK be the last thing that happens for a while. I remember when I was in high school and I spent the night at a guy's house, my dad was furious with me. it took him a year to ever trust me again, so in this case it will take a father like Kenji to accept it as a good thing but will be in some senses forced to see things their way. I thought about having him ignore her as a whole but thought that might be to cruel, so I did subtle ignoring's throughout the last few ch/ep's. as for Ikuko, she feels compelled to be on her daughters side as she sees the love there, so she's trying to keep the peace as fragile as that is right now. Hopefully you'll keep reading the rest of this.
CaughtInAFantasy: She's learning to act better. Its finally started to seriously sink into her head that her actions have results in the future as well and that Usagi is different thanks to her time as being a 'double agent' and to the current home situation she's in.
Spike: wow…okay…to put more explanation as what I gave 'Anonymous Y', #1: I actually had wanted to do the surprise condom scene for a while, I just had a REALY difficult time in trying to figure out a way to get them there. There were other blow ups that I kept thinking of but I didn't want to over do it. Go figure with just these I still did. Oh well. #2: funny about the smut since its one of my favorite things to write even though I try to place in just the right areas so it's not a 'where the hell did that come from?' moment but a 'whoa! Yes!' moment. I find that the other stories that I've seen written over the years that have massive smut in them only make me love them more but I also can be a bit of a pervert, so that might explain it. Sorry. #3: as for Akito's subplot, I had almost gotten rid of him earlier but I started to get really creative ideas on what to do about him and to advance him further as a character. So he does have these 'Diamond' like traits but he's not him in so many ways to. I wanted to create someone that wasn't wanting to get with Usa because he loved her but because she meant everything to Mamoru. Getting to her is his 'trump card' against Mamoru. And to be honest, yeah our couple is true to one another but I felt this one might be better since she's just utterly annoyed by him, unlike with Diamond when she actually cared for him and began to get mixed feelings thanks to the darkness within. Also I just can't resist trying to put in a jealous Mamoru for her. But Akito will NOT make it to the next series if you choose to read it. Hopefully you will. Oh and the 'gomen a sai' part…opps. I've been doing that since the start of writing. Never knew. My bad.
NeoPrincessRini: Usagi's words were written well but modified by 'Shaydoe' to be more accurate to what Usa would say. but honestly I've been wanting to write a scene where Kenji looses it on Mamoru for a LONG time. There's very stories I've read and liked where Kenji liked Mamoru and that was only because they had an agreement or Kenji was using Usagi as a business tool to gain more revenue…something like that. Otherwise I've always seen an over-protective father. Though in some of them Mamoru could learn to grow a back bone…or two.
kera69love: no worries, I hope it was a good trip.
AimlesslyGera: the drama was needed, I wanted to have that last cusp moment. Sometimes people agree sometimes they don't…the point is across either way.
trish1573: thank you so much! I really appreciate your words.
8 reviews…I think we can step it up a little bit there. Still good but I like to know how you guys like it. It means a LOT to the writer to know your thoughts and opinions. Even if its criticism it makes us think about the direction and how possibly OOC it is. Also mind you all that the poll for next seasons question is still open. I've had 4 votes will there be more?!
Oh and there is some smut in here as well!
Sailor Moon S 'Rise of the Messiah' chi/ep.41
(Waking up in Mamo – chan's arms, snuggled together under the blankets of our bed. With him in a pair of boxers and I in one of his old t-shirts. This was bliss, this was my heaven. His warmth beside me, a comfort I relied on now. The mornings here were always so tranquil, filled with a sense of rapture. That I was where I belonged, I was with the man I would spend the rest of my life loving.
I had become his wife, perhaps not in the legal sense but our hearts and our souls had finally become one. I could never live without him, I would die if he wasn't near. I had left my childhood behind and entered willingly into the adult world. I regretted nothing, and I would never be able to turn back.
I felt a bit better knowing that papa wouldn't call the cops. I looked to him with happy relief and realized this here and now…might not be for another week it could now be more of a permanent thing. It thrilled me as much as it scared me. I wasn't sure how things might go. There wasn't only Papa to think about, society in general might not approve of this. I was only fifteen, if we could keep this a secret for a few more when I turn sixteen and started high school, all of this would be accepted without issue. I could even marry Mamoru if we wanted to.
Papa's lack of approval wasn't a worry for me anymore. I knew this was my home now. I was getting used to calling it that and getting used to calling mama and papa's home just that, mama and papa's home. My child hood home. It held all my child hood memories there.
Seeing Mamo – chan laying peacefully beside me, he looked so cute like a little kid. With his long fringe of dark hair hanging over his eyes so innocently. His thick hair standing up slightly around his ears, always on the verge of becoming a truly wild mess in the mornings. With a soft giggle, I straddled him playfully before leaning down and kissing him sweetly on the tip of his manly nose.
His arms came up around me. Holding me tightly. "I love you." His voice was sleepy and sexy rough. "And I love you." I responded in breathless whisper. One arm got tighter as he flipped us gently over on the mattress, now I laid beneath him. We began to kiss passionately. His mouth doing wicked things to my own, sending sensations throughout my body. Our tongues mingled in unison before he trailed searing kisses down my neck.
"I love what you do to me." I told him, my voice soft and encouraging as I guided his head back to my lips. "And I'll keep doing it. In this life…" He responded, placing soft, persistent kisses against my lips, then trailing away again with clear intent. "And into the next…" He suckled my breast hard, my breath caught as my sensitive skin began to sting sharply. Then he sought forgiveness for his rough treatment with a tender kiss, a darting lick and then a gentle bite against the soft crest of my bosom's underside.
His seductions were just so intoxicating. My skin was now hot and over sensitive, every nerve buzzing from his touch. "And the next." He finished huskily. I felt my heart flutter at his words, as his persistent movements upon my body made me moan languidly in response. I could feel myself submitting to this pleasure, this desire of the flesh between us always igniting into an uncontrollable inferno. We would both willingly perish under the heat we created in our union., without a care in the world.)
"It'll be never ending with you. Our love, our passion is eternal. The fates can't even keep us apart. Destiny be damned if we couldn't I would find a way. You're the other half of me and I could never find a replacement. Hell, I wouldn't even try. Anyone else would be forever in your shadow. I'd rather die alone, with only the memory of you in my heart than to be without you." It was sad but truthful. Mamoru knew he'd never be able to be happy with anyone else but her.
Guiding her gently into his lap to straddle him he pulled her shirt up and over her head. Tossing it to the floor and reveling in the sight of her perfect breasts. Now bouncing playfully from the swiftly departure of her shirt.
Finally relaxed and mentally at ease enough to enjoy this. The very thing he had wanted to do last night till her father had introduced his fist to his face. He had been pissed off, out raged, and upset to put it mildly. He was stunned that the father to his future bride had hit him in his own home. His domain. He stamped down on his prince self to prevent him from hauling Kenji out by the scruff of his neck and tossing him into the hallway.
Instead he'd resisted the temptation and did what he could to put himself in Kenji's place. Which gave him a sudden clarity that was rather sobering. If Chibi Usa were Usagi's age and her older more experienced boyfriend was having sex with her, he get just as pissed off. Kenji barely knew him which only added fuel to the fire. He didn't know that he and Usagi had a past a LOT longer than anyone. He didn't know about the past Moon Kingdom days, nor that they had known each other for a long while BEFORE actually dating one another.
So he'd refrained from hitting the man back. He'd been disrespected but knew that by NOT hitting him it would be more in his own favor. It was truth as Ikuko looked ready to kill her husband for his poor treatment of him. He truly didn't understand other than the protective reasons why her father didn't like him. Then again…he had to admit seeing the condoms in the drawer were definitely not a good help. But the man was out of line snooping through his bedroom like a thief in the night.
He'd bitten his lip from yelling back 'at least we're using condoms and being responsible. I don't want to get her pregnant now. I figure that can wait till graduation. Maybe when she's 18 we can.' But he had a feeling that might have made it worse. But still the thoughts alone had almost NOT been enough to prevent him from breaking the older man's nose. But seeing everyone sympathetic to his plight had helped.
The man had no right to do what he had done to him. Usagi was in an adult relationship that her father couldn't handle. The condoms in the drawer was something he hadn't counted on nor wanted the older man to see. They still had a least a dozen boxes left to use. At least he was responsible enough to use protection…most of the time. Sensing his distraction Usagi sought his attentions back.
Her hand slipped lower inside the waist band of his boxers, and gripped him gently. He stiffened and thrust himself against her palm. "Usako." He began panting with rising need and lust. Her panties were the only thing in the way now. Seeing this he didn't pay any mind as he merely pushed them to the side. She giggled at the action, to in a hurry to take the time and take off the simple piece of fabric.
Shoving his boxers down to his thighs he slid himself inside of her. They both gasped in need and joy at feeling one another flesh either gripping or stretching at the union. She grasped onto his hips pulling him further within her as he groaned at how tight she was. "Kami Usako…I could never get tired of this." he growled. He looked down at her face seeing the bliss clearly written there, for him and him alone.
He knew he'd never get enough of her, never in his life now or in the next would he ever be sated of her. Hell from what he remembered he-they couldn't get enough of one another even in their previous lives. They had many places in both the earth kingdom and the moon kingdom christened repeatedly.
Looking down once more, he traced her face with his fingertips. Then her neck, tracing her heaving chest till he could no longer resist and leaned forward. Taking a breast into his mouth he moaned with desire. He aroused her diligently there before focusing his attentions on the other breast, her nipple ached for his touch and tongue as he nipped and nibbled till it was hard and she was begging in mindless pleasure before switching to the other one once more.
She gasped as he just lay within her, filling her up so completely that the slightest movement would make her body react with delicious feelings. Seated inside and savoring the flavor of her chest, she could only bemoan this splendid torture. Her finger's diving into his hair, grasping and pulling as she sought to keep her control. But she was dying and in need of his tender loving, or rather for him to start moving so she could feel his power, his love and passion for her.
"Mamo – chan please…" she panted. Getting tight himself from just lying within her he began a rhythm of flexing his hips. He thrust his hips before pulling out, he grit his teeth at the rhythm of it. "Kami Usako it's like I have a pleasure filled vice grip attached to me!"
He struggled to keep the rhythm smooth and slow. Smiling knowingly, she crossed her legs behind him. It gave him more room to push in deeper, hitting that spot within her now. She unconsciously slapped his ass, jolting him deeper into her cavern. Her eyes as well as his flew open, "Again." he groaned in shock. He hadn't expected to enjoy that. Come to think of it whenever she did hit his ass he was stunned to find himself enjoying it more and more, but he'd still rather slap hers instead.
Slapping twice more he thrust harder and faster into her, the sensations heightening their arousal, "You like that?" She asked seductively. His hand moved up and weaved itself into her hair, "Yeah but not as much as I like hitting yours." His mouth claimed hers as his other hand moved and hit her butt from the underside. She smiled, "Me to. I find it hot." Her sly smile had him smiling in adoration of her.
Finally grabbing his butt she pulled him closer, further inside of her. He growled before grabbing her and lifting her form from the bed, slamming her effectively over his aching member. Her hand now wrapped around his neck for support while he gripped her bum, slammed her down and slapped said bum at the same time. "Oh Kami!" She screamed in pleasure. He smiled smugly, "You like that?" he asked, needing to know she was just as turned on by the action as he was. "Hai!" her voice was high pitched and fractured as she rode him.
After several more slaps and screams of pleasure from her, he hooked his hand over her shoulder from the back to drive himself further into her. Reaching that pinnacle of pleasure he felt her tightening before she bite him gently on the neck. It threw him over the edge as his last slam had her hitting the mattress hard. His weight thrusting his length deeper and harder than before. He buried his head in her neck as he sucked on his own ever fading bite mark.
His own orgasm having come when he bit into the soft skin of her neck. Her own inner muscles still fluttering in a vain attempt to never let him leave her. "I love you." He told her, though he knew the words weren't necessary. "And I you." She sighed in post coital bliss. They settled into one another until he got a look at the clock. "It's getting to be time for the National entrance exams." He commented against her breast.
"Hai, the girls will be there to. Ready to investigate Mugen further." she played with his hair. He loved the simple sensations of it. Lounging with her, simply enjoying her company. The loving sex they had giving them a physical connection that was so deep for them that they now were linked to the point of feeling one another's joy and pleasure during sex. He loved that feeling of connectivity, it made him feel infinity closer to her.
"We'd better be going to. We'll get there much sooner but yeah…" he finalized getting up he aided her along the way. "You can go on ahead. I want to see if Chibi Usa is still at Momo's." he looked to her.
"Knowing that little sneak, she probably gave Momo's parents some story and took off to look for Hotaru on her own again this morning." Usagi motioned. Understanding her need as a protective and worried mother was coming out, "Lets both go check on her. She can't be dealing very easily with Hotaru – chan's disappearance again." Mamoru nodded, giving her shoulder a reassuring squeeze.
"Hai I'll let the girls know we might be a little late. As it is were already up before any of them. It should give us a chance to catch up to where Chibi Usa is and make sure she is or gets safely home." Agreeing with her and giving a small smile that even though Chibi Usa had been still acting horrible to her lately it seemed the pink haired child was starting to understand that the new Usagi was there to stay.
"You should change into your uniform so you like you legitimately are trying to transfer schools. We can go to the entrance exams after dropping off Chibi Usa." He suggested, calling out from their room. "Hai!" she agreed. They both changed and left off, neither bothering at this point to shower as they were extremely limited on time that morning. It was barely seven and knew the exams started roughly around nine for students to line up and sign in for their exams.
Getting into his sports car they headed off to Chibi Usa's friend's house, Momo lived just above a Chinese restaurant in the commercial district of Moto Azabu. Seeking to pick her up only to find that she had left 30 minutes ago.
"Figures." Usagi stated bitterly, getting back inside the car. Usagi called out, "To Hotaru – chan's place." Mamoru decided to just going along with it. They arrived there to discover her staring blankly at the house. With her warmer pea coat on Usagi wished for her own thicker coat. But being in her winter uniform she had only an outer light cotton dress jacket on. It didn't seem to be enough now.
She knelt behind the small child, "Chibi Usa." She compelled softly, Chibi Usa turned around reluctantly, "I just want to see her." She explained mournfully. "I know…" Usagi sighed, unable to help it the weight of her worry was just to great. Unable care anymore, about seeming weak or needy, Chibi Usa ran to her. Yearning to feel her motherly comfort that she had stubbornly denied herself. In her act to be strong, self-sufficient.
"We'll get her back, promise. I'll do everything I can to save her." Usagi promised the child, enveloping her without judgment. She held her close, cradling her head to her breast, feeling the child begin to cry in her arms. She held on her tighter, seeking to give her strength and hope for the coming events.
Not even the shrill of the communicator that went off on Mamoru's end could disrupt the sweet moment. He walked away to answer Rei, "Hai?" He asked. "We need you guys here. Their about to open the doors and we needs all hands on deck for this investigative mission." She demanded. He nodded, "I understand. When we drop Chibi Usa off we'll be on our way." she nodded as the transmission ended.
(Leaving we went to mama and papa's place to drop her off. "You're not coming inside?" She asked me, hope in her eyes. She didn't want me to leave her, it felt nice but I knew I needed to go, "We need to go to Mugen so we can investigate further into the enemy. That leads to Hotaru - chan's whereabouts." I answered, giving her a weak smile. She nodded. "Now go inside before mama and papa question anything. Besides, you need to shower and change for school still." I told her.
I knew that as she had stayed over at Momo's the night before that she wouldn't have bothered to shower or be in her school clothes. We left off when the door opened making sure she was inside safely. Papa took a firm look at the car before ignoring both of us. I sighed, "I think I might have to grab some more things tomorrow morning. Somehow..." I tried to think of a way to retrieve more clothes without alerting papa.
"For right now let's just concentrate on Mugen. I'd rather not have Rei - chan blowing up the communicator again. She's a bit testy when it comes to being punctual." Mamo - chan told me, "Hai, she is. She might think I'm rubbing off on you." I giggle, "There's no right or wrong way for you to rub me Usako..." he looks over to me. His eyes held mirth in them. "Let's go before we become late from other activities I'd like to start up." I added playfully. He smiled and laughed with me, "Hai." he replied before pushing on the gas pedal.
We zoomed to back to Delta, finding a parking space several blocks away and sprinted towards the tower. Finding the girls all milling around the front doors, all in their school uniforms. Most of the exam students already filed inside. "Finally you guys. We need to get in there." Rei complained, "We had to drop Chibi Usa off at mama and papa's home so back down pyro." I snipped back.
"You were probably late already when you picked her up." she retorted, "We were actually early but Usako needed to calm Chibi Usa down. Her friend was taken and she has no real way to help her. If anything calming her down prevents Chibi Usa from doing something reckless." Mamo - chan came to my defense.
"Who stuck a stick up your - " I started when she went red in the face, "Shut up! I just get really bad vibes from here!" she defended, shivering slightly with agitation and dread. "Let me guess it's making your sixth sense go haywire?" I presumed. She nodded her head. As senshi we all had a sort of sixth sense but hers since she had a stronger physic connections thanks to her home planet, could feel it more intensely.
Bad vibes were known to put people like her on edge faster. They felt more in tuned and therefore felt more of a serious vibe. It could push some people to the edge, "Relax, in a few days hopefully there won't be anymore." I assured her, clapping her on the shoulder and offering her a bright encouraging smile.
"How can you be so sure?" She asked, her body was stiff and her eyes moist from constant strain. I turned from looking at the gloomy building of Mugen, back to her. "Let's just say it's so strong even I can feel it. This enemy is very strong…possibly our strongest yet." I explained with a shrug. Taking the handbook out from my jacket pocket that I'd gotten from 'Telulu' I look it over with interest.
"We need to find out how deep this goes. If they've begun recruiting or implementing their own people into the student body. We can't let potential innocents get pulled into this." I instructed, leafing through the booklet for the millionth time. The girls nodded with me. "Besides Ami - chan..." I looked to her.
"As the number one for the top highest score you're the only one with true free reign into this place." I smirked, she giggled humbly in response, "Not true there was one other that had the top highest score. There was another girl who got a perfect score." Ami told us matter of factly, "Ami - chan, you still got a perfect score. That's HUGE." I told her. The other girls nodded, "I know I'm proud of you." Mamo - chan told her. Slinging a brotherly arm around her.
Ami blushed a bright red, "Arigato." she smiled sheepishly, as she still had trouble accepting high praise when given, and receiving affections from a boy in general was even more out of her comfort range. Even if said boy was already dating her friend and like an older brother to her. It was still hard for her to accept. Plus getting praise to begin with wasn't something she got a lot, it became expected of her so half the time she just went with it.
"It's something to proud of. Even if you're not we are." the other girls I knew were in agreement with me. "Hai, but let's not forget our goal today." she reminded. "Hai, investigate, and try to save Hotaru - chan." I admitted, the girls all nodded. We needed to get her out of there or at least gain a clue as to her whereabouts.)
Moving into the grande lobby, they saw the lines of students aiming to go get into Mugen, that had Usagi stunned, "There are so many people here..." then the light flakes of snow coming down outside caught her attention. She looked bleakly out of the huge wall sized windows not looking forward the temperature drop to come. Mamoru wrapped his arms around her from behind sensing her bodies chill as if it were his own.
"Even in the ever increasing wacky shivering weather were having. Dedication I tell you." She commented bitterly, it was strange to have snow this early into fall. It was like the earth itself was starting to go into hibernation.
"Kind of makes you wish you had studied hard enough to be able to take exam here without worry as Ami - chan can." Rei smarted off with her sharp tongue. Taming Usagi down Mamoru retorted back at her, "She is smart enough but right now she has to have it proven in by Akito that she knows her materials well enough to take such a test. Next year she'll be taking it." Mamoru defended, the girls nodded as Rei 'humped'.
Having Mamoru show her up she felt the need to needle Usagi, "So you got to have your man step up for you now huh? I didn't realize sharing his bed meant - " her words failed her at the murderous glare Usagi sent her way. Realizing she'd gone too far in her need to have the last word she inclined her head. Stopping her snapping tongue before they got into a feral hissing match, "This should be interesting." Mamoru stated, rolling his eyes.
Further on the inside, deep within the monitor room. It was an entirely different story. The professor and Kaolinite were standing by the monitors watching the students walk in preparing themselves for the exams to come. "We have quite a few here. This plan is working better than we thought." the professor commented. He hadn't been sure he had even chosen the right witch for the job.
The last several he thought would work had failed and it seemed each new 'witch' he put out there last less than the last one. Would the current 'witch' be able to carry through? It seemed she had MANY pure hearts to take during the exam session. "Mugen academy will be the epicenter of a very large shift very soon." the professor stated.
Kaolinite was hanging off his arm in a loving leech type of way. An arm ornament to him. He paid no mind to her or to the romantic display they made. Feeling that she was being useful so far even if the other witches were proving to be less emotional and more willing to be expendable. "Besides the students gathered here today are especially intelligent. It should make for an interesting harvest for the 'messiah of silence'." he continued with low chuckle.
Seeing Usagi in the monitors as she was cuddled up with Mamoru. All cute and lovey dovey, they seemed more interested in clinging to one another in their display of affection rather than the exams about to take place. "It seems that there are those that don't take our exams quite as seriously as others around them do." Kaolinite commented towards the monitor. "But that doesn't matter. A vast amount of pure hearts will be collected here."
Raising a brow at the couple she couldn't help but comment, "Even if a few aren't as pure." she examined the couple and found herself wishing that the professor was at least a little bit more like the dark haired man in the monitors. His display of love and affection was sincere and sweet whereas with Kaolinite she feed off of crumbs from the professor. They were her air to breath in every day.
Looking at Usagi and Mamoru she was caught up in their simple affections for one another. The sweet image the monitor caught of Usagi turning around and feeding him something she had brought with her, as he wrapped his arms around her and opened his mouth to accept the offering. Then proceeded to tease her with opening and closing his mouth on her. A process that made her giggle and chide him, that Kaolinite never noticed their obvious resemblance to her sworn enemies.
"Professor!" a young girl snapped angling for his attentions in a purely professional sense. She was a cute young thing, with skin as pale as porcelain. Her blonde hair was just as softly colored, nearly as white as snow. A tint of blue accenting the strands of her hair that she had pulled back into a long ponytail. Dressed in a Mugen uniform and wearing dark rimmed glasses, she was the perfect image of a student.
"Byruit. It seems as if your plan is going along schedule. I'll anticipate results soon." he warned, not wanting any failures. "No problem. My plan will enable me to collect a vast amount of pure hearts. I have already infiltrated the school a top student, Yui Bido. The 'messiah of silence' won't know what to do with so many." her cocky attitude wasn't lost on Kaolinite.
"Don't forget Telulu had the same attitude. Feeling that she had her plan all figured out. The senshi made sure she would fail. If I were you I'd watch my back. They may seem insignificant but they were well organized." Kaolinite hated to admit to it but she knew when there was fault and when there was a worthwhile enemy. The senshi were not going away. "Hai, but she didn't have my plan." Byruit conceded, crossing her arm indignantly.
"I expect nothing but the best from you." the professor told her, "I will deliver nothing but the best." her cockiness was still in place. Unable to help herself she sneered in a giggling tone towards Kaolinite, "Is there any particular reason why you came back to life? Other than to hang off the professor as if he cared. Why don't you make yourself useful for once?" Kaolinite cringed before the professor once more gained her attention as Byruit left.
Back with Usagi, her group had successfully used the crowds to slip unnoticed into the back halls of the Academy. Now warm and coatless, Mamoru had taken to checking the perimeter and making sure any security feed could be over ridden by Ami's minicomputer. Wanting to stay hidden as they snooped through every classroom they found. So far finding only student's hard at work on the exams. Or busy doing some final cramming before the instructor arrived to hand out the test.
Usagi for herself was glad they all made it inside, "Look at everyone. it's like their all in a 'studying trance'." they all looked about and agreed, "Hai but their also training and studying to be the next generation of doctors, lawyers, business men and women, various career paths that will take many more years of university life before they can get into doctorates and further on with their studies." Ami stated.
"I just think it looks creepy. How can one be so involved in school work when the world is going on around them? It's so intense." Usagi stated slightly dryly, looking over to Ami, "It's why we love you so much. As book smart as you are your still smarter in the sense, that you don't become lost in the world if academics. That they are in and so focused that you forget the people around you." She nodded her head in thanks.
"Their studying hard to achieve their dreams in the future. Like me becoming a doctor, their will be others that are as equally smart and over achieving as myself." Ami hardly ever gave herself props, more like nearly never, so when she did they all smiled knowing the truth of it. "I'm glad I don't have to take them now. While I have been studying harder this would still be too much for me right now." Usagi admitted.
"Hai, as far as you've come Usagi - chan, these exams are for levels that surpass the ones you've participated in. The class sessions you've been taking your lessons in haven't even touched some of the basics of these exam questions." Ami told them. Usagi felt a bit better knowing it wasn't that she wasn't smart enough it was due to the fact that she had yet to be taught these particular lessons just yet.
"Just remember when you do get to those classes, to study your butt off." Rei chimed in, "Got it mama!" Usagi mocked. Rei ignored it as the girls laughed. However it was the young short near white haired girl that approached them. Her demeanor innocent but cold beneath as she called Ami out, "You must be Ami - chan. the one who always gets the perfect score next to mine." she spoke with surety.
Her way of talking was bordering on snobby, "I was thinking we should meet sometime." Ami looked stunned, "You're Bido – san. Yui, Bido." Ami called her, "Hai. And these must be your friends." she looked at the girls. Makoto noticed fast that the girl was sizing them up based on looks and body posture alone. She also noticed the sneer lurking in her smile as came to understand they were not as equal minded as Ami.
"I don't like her." Makoto muttered to Minako, "Hai, me either." something was definitely off to both of them.
Rei was taking her measure as well, her scrutiny far more subtle. Trying to figure out the strange aura she felt around her. Usagi however seeing why she was couldn't help but be impressed, "Wow it's rare when we see our Ami - chan have a fellow perfectionist in the way of exams and test scores." Ami blushed at the compliment, "As a friend of hers I'm sure you share many common educational interests." Yui said with a defining haughty tone.
"I plan to be a school teacher one day. For kindergarten possibly." Usagi straightened upon seeing the veiled interest in her eyes and hearing the girl's bland tone of voice. "Oh so what are your best subjects?" Yui asked, "I'm working hard in English but I find history and health to be intriguing." Usagi answered honesty. Mamoru came up behind her, his stance protective and calming for her.
Yui saw the shift with Usagi's stance as she subtly began to lean into him. She saw it in its accuracy of as that of a girlfriend seek support from her boyfriend's presence. She sought to exploit that weakness when she could. Hell she sought to exploit weakness whenever she saw it period. It was in her nature as a winner.
"And yours are?" trying to catch him off guard as he had just joined them. But he saw it coming and smiled genuinely, "I'm training to become a doctor just like Ami - chan here is. I'm taking courses over at my own university." he answered. His arm resting loosely around Usagi's waist, a natural act of possession. Yui just barely prevented her evil smirk from forming at the sight of their obvious affections. She shifted away from them and spoke.
"That must make trying to find time for love in your life difficult." She nodded to the two of them, "Nope. We've found a nice little way of working around studies and other portions of our lives." he stated, not wanting to give too much away. "So a school teacher and a doctor. The rest of you?" she asked as if recalling them, "A fashion model and Actress." Minako stated proudly, uncaring of how the snob found it.
She wouldn't let whatever this Yui had to say to her take her down a peg. She knew it would be extremely hard work to get to her goal, that wasn't a problem. She was very proficient at NOT giving up on something she believed in with her heart. "A business woman." Rei answered confidently, "But most likely I just end up taking care of grandpa's shrine." She finished under her breath.
"I want to own my own bakery and flower shop." Makoto stated with pride in her voice. None of them liked the superiority obvious in her voice now.
"Well it seems like you've all felt you've found your nitch in life." The girls could tell she could care less about their goals, but found themselves unable to care about it. They were proud of their dreams and wouldn't give up on them based on some top notch, snobby student who felt better than them. They wouldn't let her talk them down if she tried. And as much as Yui wanted to knock some of them down she wasn't here for that,
"Miss. Mizuno it seems we have a lovely opportunity here for me to show you something I have been working on, I would love your input as fellow scholar. Please come right this way." Yui pulled Ami away before she or anyone else could argue. Dashing off down the hall and down a set of stairs with Ami looking somewhat annoyed at her pushy behavior.
Usagi almost followed before Mamoru held her back. "Let her go. If Ami - chan gets into trouble were here for her." Mamoru insisted. They nodded, "Plus we have a school to investigate further." Minako stated. Looking about as if there were secrets within the walls. "Right, lets split up." everyone nodded and left off in separate directions in hopes to find a clue that would lead them to Hotaru or the Death busters.
In the meantime Michiru and Haruka were watching the other students taking part in their own exams. Patrolling the halls awaiting the chance to strike the next enemy that would use the opportunity here. "The waves are acting stormy as if something is about to arise from the watery depths below." Michiru's ominous warning did nothing to sooth any fears.
"So you feel it to. Something will happen here today." Haruka agreed. "Hai its feels sinister around here." she spoke, "There's an eerie unknown energy coming from this school. It's all over, to hard to pin point the exact location. I assume it becomes thicker the closer we get to it though." Haruka mused. "We must try for the basement of this place again. Though we still must not get caught." Michiru warned. Recalling how they had been thwarted by avoiding getting caught last time.
"I'll make sure no one's in our way. If we get caught let it be because we destroyed our enemy for good." Haruka stated with pride. Michiru agreed as they both set out for the basement area. The one place that was heavily guarded by a heavy steel door locked from the inside and sealed with a security pad. One needed to know the code or scan an entry card. The outer's however had not yet realizing that Byruit had taken the time to take Ami down there to the labs where Tomoe did his research.
It was a way of seeing if the genius girl would be good 'witch' material. The lab was gloomy and poorly lit, reminding Ami of a monster film. The whole place seemed shady, an odd feeling of warning crawling over her skin. Ami was being cautious, moving slowly between the metal tables. Scrutinizing every piece of equipment that littered the storage shelves against the back wall or were scattered over the long tables.
Byruit was testing her out. Asking the right questions to see if she was what they were looking for. As it was Ami was incredibly smart and Byruit was confident she could find a friend in arms with her. A submissive young girl to aid her as a loyal minion. Now Ami was unknowingly standing in front of the large spherical orb that held the entity Tomoe spoke to on occasion. Pharaoh 90. "It's incredible." Ami stated in amazement. Wondering what technology went into creating such a small yet actuate model of a star system.
"It's called 'Tau Nebula'." Byruit explained, "Our school is broken down into five classes... 'Philosophy, entertainment, science, physical and professional. And for some courses superior students are even allowed to be lecturer's to the classes that instructors are too busy for, "Like myself, I teach a few classes here and there." Obviously proud of her efforts. Ami was stunned, "You teach classes to?"
Ami while understanding some minds were superior to others she still didn't feel they were ready to teach a course. Everyone was still learning, even those that were in advanced classes, so this Yui must really be an amazing intellect.
"Hai, anyone can become a lecturer as long as their grades prove to be adequate enough." Yui spouted. Ami didn't agree with this, "I humbly beg to differ. Everyone can do well in academics but it doesn't make you a good teacher." Byruit narrowed her eyes.
"If anything to be a good teacher you have to be aware of any and all students and understand them all. As a student you still have the immaturity to become over confident and lose focus on what matters. The students your teaching then lose focus on the feelings they get from being taught by someone who cares about them and their grades." Ami countered in a monotone of disinterest. Yui was bragging she wasn't going to encourage it.
Byruit ignored the anger she felt and instead laughed at the idealistic frame Ami's mind was in, "That's so idealist, its cutie, but not going to get you by in the real world. Education and knowledge is the most important thing, emotions are a waste of time." her higher than though attitude had Ami on edge now, "You don't need feelings at the end of the day. Their just spikes in hormone and estrogen levels that make no difference at the end of the day." her words were cocky, confident and cold. "I don't think that way!" Ami protested.
"I think a class room needs the warmth from an experienced teacher or professor to be effective." Ami explained, holding her ground with a cool look towards Yui. Byruit found this funny, "Miss. Mizuno for someone at the top of her class you seem very idealistic. You do realize that idealistic views have no place in the hard core world we all call life." she mocked towards the bluenette. "And you even sound proud of your words." Byruit's voice grated on Ami's nerves to no end.
"It almost sounds like what someone who has no real goals or education would say." she continued onwards, "The exams are about to begin, I'll see you around again Miss. Sweet hearted Mizuno." her voice mocking in laughter from behind her as she walked away, leaving Ami to fume in her anger. "She's wrong." Ami stated in anger yet in a sense of pity towards Byruit for not seeing the bigger picture.
Curiosity getting the better of her, Ami now bent over and examined the spherical orb. Tomoe and Kaolinite had an eye on her from the monitor room. A security camera in the corner of the room swiveled to capture her poor decision. Byruit's attempt to see if she would be a good 'witch' to recruit for the 'messiah of silence' ended up making them wonder if she was perhaps a senshi in disguise as she had to good a heart to be any type of true witch for them.
Not to mention her striking looks resembled Mercury too perfectly for them to think any differently. There wasn't a lot of young girls running around with natural blue within their dark haired tones. "If she is a senshi, the Mercurian one that is she'll pose a problem." Tomoe stated, knowing that the senshi of the planet Mercury was the basic brains of the operation. He was no fool to not have surveyed their strengths and weaknesses individually.
It just took him a hell of a long time to do so since they kept besting all the daimon's and the 'witches' so far that had gone up against them. It made observing them hard to do. Kaolinite however was still stuck on his arm, she hadn't shifted from her placement one little bit. He was starting to get annoyed by it but needed her still, so he let it go and didn't bother removing her from his side.
"I'm thinking perhaps she's sailor Mercury as well. Who other than an idealistic brainiac?" Byruit mocked as she strutted back into the small observation room. "I guarantee you I will uncover the truth behind her identity. I'll expose her for the senshi that she is. Leave it to me." in a snapping flash of electrical light she prepared herself. As if in a moment she removed her school uniform to reveal her mechanical looking 'witches' outfit. Complete with a near metal looking bra attached the rest of the body suit.
"Exposing them is my job!" Kaolinite complained. More in a 'your stealing my job!' than a whine. Not taking it lightly Byruit pushed her clearly out of the way as her words pulled her off the arm of the professor. She nearly fell to the ground as she hadn't anticipated the younger girl's aggression. Instead she caught herself and seethed in rage, devising little ways to end the young girls life or perhaps see if the senshi were good enough destroy her themselves.
For once she hoped the senshi would come and do so. At that rate she would be the top contender for being next to the professor. Maybe even gain enough of his confidence again to allow her to remain by his side. Her dreams were fruitless but she had no idea yet. "Professor you give me the opportunity and I will expose Ami Mizuno for who she is and then destroy her as I activate my plan. I'll destroy the senshi and gather the pure hearts needed for the messiah."
Byruit's boosting confidence was there. It wasn't cockiness now she was fully confident in her plans to end the senshi for good and get the pure hearts needed. "Destroying the senshi is MY job!" Kaolinite snapped again from her position, straightening herself up. Her arm lingering near his, wondering if the professor would pull her back to him or not. Seeing that he didn't she was feeling a tad foolish for staying so close to him.
"Shut up you pathetic waste!" Byruit snapped back. This could be her chance. Bringing her wrist length bracelet up she explained her plan in full to the professor, "With my nano bit technology I can call forth all pure hearts from the students into the computer systems using the super computer in the basement and have a vast supply for our 'messiah'. They move and even act as their own little creatures. One hit to a senshi and it'll eat away at them till there's nothing left." her words were deadly and filled with superiority.
Touching the pad on her wrist she activated the super computer in the storage room in the basement. Its thousands of small lights coming on as if powering up to some big event was about to happen. The professor was enamored. Watching in glee as he thought of all the pure hearts about to be taken. "Now my Nano technology will grant us everything we need for our 'messiah's awakening." Byruit smirked. He smiled eagerly at the possibilities.
"It seems as if you have everything under control. I expect results within an hour. I'm not a man that takes failure well." he warned, turning on his heel and striding quickly back to the monitors on the wall.
Byruit nodded her assessment before walking away as well. Though she stopped in the light of the doorway, when Kaolinite fumed in her direction, "Why did you bother coming back from the dead? Just to hang off the professor's arm like a second skin? Such a bore to have such a waste of space like you around. Why don't you do something useful...like your job." as she walked the rest of the way out, Kaolinite could only glare at her back.
"Kaolinite is everything alright?" the professor asked. Her eyes lightening up she answered with an affectionate, "Hai." the sour mood Byruit put her in instantly dispelled from his words.
While Byruit walked away she fully activated her plan, knowing the super computer in the basement would take a few minutes to boot up. Watching her arm pads touch screen, waiting for the download bar to light up all the way, she knew it would be time then.
It was when Usagi and Minako spied on the inside of a computer classroom that things started to go bad. All the students were hunched over computer monitor's, typing with a single minded intent. Their eyes looking glazed upon the screens. "Wow everyone looks so focused. Like they are under some kind of spell." Usagi mumbled softly. Unable to process how someone could get so absorbed into their own little world where nothing else mattered. Then again she retracted that thought as whenever she was with Mamoru it was as if the rest of the world was gone.
(We watched the students with interest for a few extra seconds to be sure it looked normal, "Looks okay." I spoke, "Hai, we should go check the rest of the rooms on this floor." Minako suggested. We closed the door only to hear screams explode from the room. We rushed right back through the door to see the pure hearts being sucked into the monitors.
"NO!" I screamed, dashing for the closest student. While Mina did the same. We each tried to grab one close by but it was as if the computer sensed us nearby and sucked it in faster.
"This is not good. We need to alert the others. Who knows how much of this school is being affected." I started, then my heart sank. "Holy hell!" I realized, "Nani?" Minako asked, "This school is one giant pure heart snatcher. We need to find what's making it tick so we can stop it. Fast!" I tell her with alarm. "Oh kami this is bad. I hope the school doesn't come to life." Minako muttered looking about the school in mild horror, a crazy vision of huge tower with arms and legs coming to mind. Rampaging all over the Delta like some industrial Godzilla!
"I didn't mean it like that." I dead panned at her silly yet fearful expression. She rolled her eyes, "I was just joking." Mina explained, feeling a tad silly at coming up with that idea. I paid her a long incredulous look, not believing her one bit.
It was over the intercom that we heard a familiar voice, "Hai, continue to sacrifice your pure hearts to our one and only 'messiah of silence'." I knew that voice, "That's Bido, Yui-san!" I blurted out. "You mean the one Ami - chan was last with?" Minako asked. We both looked in horror, "Kami if she's taken Ami - chan's pure heart I'm going to fry her ass." I didn't want Ami to have to go through that pain again.
"They have to be powering it somehow...an engine or a computer...from somewhere...big, I assume. To create the energy needed to control all of this." Minako looked to me for confirmation, "What's bigger than a schools basement? Even a gym wouldn't be big enough." I smiled happily at her reasoning. Minako always was the deductive one of our group. Able to puzzle the abstract much quicker than the rest of us.
"Considering we've ruled out the atrium and the gyms I think basement is our next best guess for this venture. Tell the girls I'll let Mamo - chan know." I stated, she nodded and pulled her communicator out.)
Mamo - chan! Have they started with the pure hearts by you yet? We're heading to where we believe the source might be.
(Hai they have. He sent me an image of all the students in the classroom he just peeked into all slumped over their monitor's. They were the same as ours. Where's the source?! He questioned, needing to get there as well.
We think the basement. It would have to be a place that could house such a large enough component to power this large scale capture. To take so many pure hearts all at once. I explain. Hai. He agreed. I'll met you guys down there. It seems as if the pure hearts are being sucked into the computers. It's eerie and a tad morbid to see such a thing. He told me.)
Hai, I know. We tried to stop them but it was as if they were sensing us interfering and pulled the hearts in faster. Be careful. Where are pretty much navigating the 'Death Star' here.
(I could tell he was a tad confused by my words. American trivia? He asked. Hai. I answered in mild defeat. Let's get going. I agreed as Minako and I both tore down the hall towards the nearest stairwell. Heading from where we were to the basement. Taking any sort of short cuts to get there faster. I felt as if we weren't the only ones though. I could feel the girls all moving there as we all headed there as a group.
"On my way!" Rei and Makoto's voices came over Minako's communicator. "Has anyone reached Ami - chan yet?" I asked, I knew I sounded worried. I just couldn't mask it. My heart was beating fast knowing we were heading for a major fight.
"Hai! She's found the source and a Death Buster as well. Said she'll hold them off as long as possible when she gains entry way!" Rei stated through the device. "Good were on our way!" I tried to avoid shouting as any voice right now in the silent hallways was loud, "So are we. Transform before you hit the basement though, we don't know what we will be encountering." Rei advised, "I hear that." I agreed. "Let's make haste. Don't need anyone to stop us!" Minako stated. I agreed as we ran faster knowing Ami was a LOT closer than the rest of us.)
While they ran it seemed every senshi there had the same idea. Michiru and Haruka used the congestion of the exam crowds to slip past the first couple of guards that were covering the main floor. Heading through an emergency exit that lead to a concealed hallway, then kept on going through another door and down a flight of narrow stairs. Leading them to poorly lit hallway with a single heavy iron door with a plain sticker plastered on the front.
It stated 'underground laboratory - entry prohibited'. If anything it was the ultimate clue to the 'messiah of silences' whereabouts. Several more flights of seemingly endless stairs later they were well into the sub-basement. Reaching a sliding metal door with an access pad to it. Haruka gave Michiru a smirk, flipping out a swipe card. She had pick pocketed a fellow student, Bido, Yui. The resident Genius. Who had access to the underground lab. They suspected her as being one of the Witches for a while now.
The double doors slid aside to reveal the throne room, the professor always spoke to the 'messiah of silence' in. The Outer Senshi looked further into the bleak room to find her sleeping with a stuffed teddy bear in her extravagant chair within the concealment of the thick shadows. The young girl looked frail and somewhat lifeless in her repose. They were both shocked to have finally discovered her. Their hard work finally paying off as they would be able to silence the entity within Hotaru as well as Hotaru herself.
"Well this whole place seems a little suspicious if you ask me." Haruka huffed.
"I question her fashion sense really, a bit to Wednesday Adams if you ask me." Michiru quipped, dryly. Haruka smirked at her love's smart ass remark. Michiru smiled back, enjoying her sharp humor as well.
"The ultimate evil that shouldn't exist!" Haruka snapped with anger in her voice, killing the moment instantly. Her eyes as cold as steel, prepared herself emotionally as well as physically to end the child's life here and now. Transforming in a rush of wind into Uranus, Michiru followed suit. Calling down the depths of the ocean to bathe her human body and replace it with the power of a Senshi.
They both began to run till not more than seconds later Ami's voice of reason came in, "Wait!" Neptune was shocked, spinning around to confront the new threat. She briefly wondered how Ami found her. But then again this was the senshi of wisdom and water, she would be the one to find the other senshi of water just as easily.
"You will not hurt Hotaru - chan!" Ami stated with conviction. Uranus turned around, "You're joking right?" She demanded. She had hoped that the senshi of wisdom would see the futility of trying to save Hotaru. Apparently she was wrong. "This is the root of the evil death busters. Once we get rid of her our enemies will be no more." Uranus tried. But Ami refused to believe you'd have to sacrifice an innocent girl just because of who she was and the evil within her. They weren't even willing to try and exercise the evil from Hotaru.
"I can't let the evil get a one up on us and the rest of the world all because of the idea that Hotaru - chan can be saved. Even if she could sailor Saturn is within her. That can't be expelled from her. And Saturn must NEVER awaken." Uranus snapped. But Ami wouldn't relent, "Hotaru - chan is a sweet, sick little girl who needs love and support not people trying to kill her for how she was re-born into this world." her words were spoken with conviction.
"Don't you get it, she's just being used by the death busters! You can't fault her for that or for having the senshi of 'death' within her. With death comes rebirth!" Ami snapped back. "It seems Idealism runs within the inner senshi." Uranus spoke coldly. "Don't stand in - " Uranus watched stunned as Ami ran past them both and put herself before Hotaru's sleeping form. "This will lead to our end if you continue to try and stop us!" Neptune pleaded.
"No this girl is completely defenseless. I cannot abide by you harming her!" Ami protested, thrusting her arm above her head henshin gripped tightly. Her eyes stern and full of determination as she called down her powers in torrent of rushing water. "Get out of our way!" Uranus demanded, "We don't want to hurt you Ami – chan. Don't force our hand!" Neptune warned. But Ami, now as Mercury braved them, "No. I refuse to."
She knew in the end while they might hurt her they would never kill another senshi. It was like an unspoken rule of thumb that unless it was a mercy kill or if the senshi went evil and was unable to EVER in any sense of the word be saved by any means necessary then there was no options left, to kill her.
But Mercury was fighting verbally to save Hotaru, unwilling to engage in combat with her comrades. Or even to want to accidentally involve another senshi yet to be fully awakened from her state of passiveness. She didn't want to awaken the senshi of Saturn just yet. It didn't feel right to do so right now. With the 'messiah of silence' within her AND Saturn both awake at the same time who knows what could happen. Not to mention what would happen to Hotaru in the process of it all.
They might both if awakened at the same time rip her apart mentally. She was just a young girl, just a few years older than Chibi Usa. "Well what do we have here?" Byruit came in upon them seemingly as another student at first until her words had them on guard, "Miss. Mizuno, Ami, Kaoi, Michiru, Tenoh, Haruka, this place is off limits you know." Yui commented lightly, standing in the faint light of the doorway.
All three stood frozen in shock, they had blown their cover and revealed their true identities before they could get any progress on either side made. Uranus gathered her wits first, she already suspected Bido of being in the enemy camp. Her have access to this restricted part of the lab only solidified that fact. She narrowed her eyes, preparing for the worst.
"I am surprised to find three senshi all in one place...but glad as you've decided to make my job easier." She snapped her fingers, in a flurry of cold light her uniform dissolved. A skimpy outfit taking it's place, reforming like an afterimage of electrical light. To reveal her status as a 'witch', in an all black leotard with sharply angled fishnet stockings and matching netting over her breasts. With a matching cap sat to the side of her head, her light blonde hair now snapping in the wind Uranus' rage was creating.
Uranus and Neptune decided to try and make a run for it, not wanting to get trapped to deep underground. Fighting such close quarter's down here wasn't a winning situation. Rushing past the startled Death Buster, Uranus shouldered her out of the way like a linebacker. But Byruit wasn't having it, quickly regaining her feet "MOSAIC BUSTER!" she yelled. A light baby blue film of power erupted from her hands with tiny pellets inside.
Powered by her bracelet they shot out quickly, rocketing towards the retreated forms of Uranus and Neptune. They had only managed to get a few feet down the hall before they hit both Uranus and Neptune at the same time. Both fell to the ground covered in the nanocites, seemingly electrocuting them.
"My little pets with take care of you easily." Byruit laughed manically. "Uranus! Neptune!" Mercury shouted in terror, rushing back into the hall behind Byruit.
"Get away! Run for your life!" Uranus yelled at her, trying to get the younger inner senshi out of there. Gritting her teeth and enduring the immense pain of thousands of small bites all over her body. Unable to take it any longer she began writhing under the assault of tiny microscopic intruder's seeking to dismantle her body. Neptune screamed in agony as the little beasts were now burrowing into her body, attacking everywhere all at once.
"I can't just leave you here! I refuse to." she then looked up to Byruit not seeing the shocked looks on their faces at her unwillingness to bolt even after everything said between them. "Such idealism to sacrifice yourself to attempt to save them. It truly does fit you now." Byruit laughed at her once more. "It will lead you nowhere!" She shot more of her power towards Mercury, who ran from the assault to the far end of the hall.
The bombardment flew past her head, as she ducked and screamed in fright. The Nanocites hit the wall, tears a huge groove out of the thick cement. Byruit didn't seem to care though, her focus on killing Mercury. Eager to prove herself to the professor. She taunted Mercury with laughter and quick wit.
"So which Sailor Soldier are you then...besides being the most cowardly?"
"I am the Soldier of wisdom powered by the planet Mercury, the planet of water, Sailor Mercury." Mercury stopped instantly and turned to face her. Having lead her far enough down the hall to prevent Hotaru from waking up. Byruit was stunned still even though she'd had her suspicions, "Kind hearted Ami Mizuno...figures..." She muttered.
"You should never abuse science!" Mercury stated angrily.
"Shut it!" Byruit called out as she sent more of her 'mosaic buster' Mercury's way.
With a touch of water from her planet Mercury summoned her 'shine aqua illusion' to slam into the 'mosaic buster' power. The two combinations hit and Byruit's power seemingly failed as it was contained by Mercury's water. It bathed the force of tiny machines and froze over it. They crashed and shattered to the floor.
Byruit smirked, "It's a useless endeavor." she commanded the pellets up. Once again they were in action. Flying like a swarm of incredibly agile and tiny bees. Speeding to fast for Mercury to summon her power again, they bathed her body, attaching to her skin and burrowing deep to erase her away.
Mercury began to scream and twitch from the tireless assault upon her flesh. The pain was intense as if she was being eaten alive. It was as if she was covered head to toe by Dorylus army ants looking to her as if she were their abundant meal.
She was hit and being eaten alive by the power source, "Does that hurt? My incredible little nano machines can be programmed to eat you alive till there's nothing left." she stated controlled the little now man eating pellets into eradicating Mercury. "You'll be dead within 10 minutes." she smirked. "The only thing left will be the pure heart that you'll be sacrificing for the 'messiah of silence'." Mercury ground her teeth, unwilling to cry out again and give Byruit any satisfaction. She valiantly held in the agony the nano technology was causing.
"It's wrong to use science as an evil destructive force!" Mercury tried. "If science does have a good purpose then you're just creat - " Mercury bit her tongue as the pain was intensifying. She fell down to her knees in her weakness. The strain getting to be to much to bear as her body felt like it was being torn apart. "Please…" she sent a silent prayer to Mercury to let her friends know where she was, so they could have her back like always.
To be continued…
