Ok, I have been getting a lot of reviews recently. Now, I have decided to respond to them.
I can't confirm if Darien is coming back, since that would give the game away.
In response to one uploaded earlier, the whole "Venus as a monster" element was never meant to be a big thing. It was just meant to foreshadow am even bigger reveal I've been setting up since chapter 1.
I'd also like to thank my new followers for their dedication.

The winged creature stood there, laughing insanely. With a wave of her hand, she sent a feather up into the air. The feather drew a 3D image of a rock and then vanished. The rock then became a real rock and dropped down at the two Sailor Scouts. Thinking quickly, Serena and Amy jumped out of the way. Serena then tried to make a move towards the Crescent Wand, but she collapsed from the lack of energy. Taking this chance, Veena tried to swoop in for the final blow.
Then Malachite appeared, blasting her with some of his energy. At this, the Shadow Warrior stopped, a shocked look on her face. She then regressed to her human form, the artist Peggy Jones. But Mercury was more focused on Malachite, collapsed on the floor with pain.
"What's happening to you?", asked Amy.
"I'm sorry, Princess.", he replied. "Every time I restore the human memories of Metalia's servants, I expend more energy. Soon, I will disappear for good."
Metalia convulsed in pain. She could sense the links with more of her servants being severed. She had sensed this earlier tonight, but with a warrior she had not fully linked to. Now she decided that action must be taken.
"Jadeite, come forth", she commanded.
On cue, the last of her 4 elite commanders had entered the room. "You called, my Queen?", he said.
"Yes, Jadeite. I can sense some of my minions being cut off from my influence. They will have regained their independence and humanity. Such concepts have no place in my kingdom. I want you to bring these headaches to an end."
"As you wish, my Queen!" And with a ghoulish grin on his face, he summoned a blade made of fire, using it to slash the neck of his once master.
Fatally wounded, Queen Metalia whimpered "You betrayed me. I didn't expect that." And with that last breath, the evil matriarch of the Negative Forces knew no more.
Satisfied, Jadeite stepped up to her corpse - Beryl's corpse - now rotting with no-one to control the power holding it together. He grabbed the decaying head and absorbed a wave of energy from it. Let those pathetic creatures that once served him suffer. With this power, he could begin to silence everything. He just needed a receptacle for his power; the Silver Crystal should fit the bill. But the Crystal was gone, cleared of its corruption and returned to its original owner, Sailor Moon. But there was another crystal with equal power.
In Sector 3, Nehelenia could sense something was wrong. To that end, she summoned her four bodyguards, the Asteroid Guardians, to her throne room. Soon, Sailor Pallas, Sailor Juno, Sailor Ceres and Sailor Vesta were gathered in her presence.
"My warriors," she began, "we are facing an attack from an unknown force. You must triumph over this new threat in the name of the Moon and of your Queen."(that last part was a clever lie used to assure their loyalty. It also allowed her to once more rule as a queen)
"Yes, your highness.", replied the four sailors unquestioningly.
Good, thought Nehelenia. That kind of blind loyalty was the kind she expected from her subjects. Before she could tell them where to go, a dark, humanoid shadow burst in through the ceiling. The four Amazon warriors attacked it with everything they had, but it just shrugged them off. It then waved it's arm destroying the building and crushing everyone.
"What are you?", asked Queen Nehelenia before collapsing unconscious. The creature replied "I am the Doom Phantom. All shall be silenced in my name. Starting with you!"
