And we're back. My other project, A Different Ascension has been put on hold until I have more time to work on it. For now, I'm gong back to this story to post the last two chapters, including this one.

Chapter 11: Flashpoint.

"What's wrong there, guys? You look like you've seen a ghost.", Sailor Mars shouted towards her friends on the ground.

"I think we are seeing ghosts.", replied Mercury. "Two in fact."

"Don't worry, Sailor Mercury.", said Tuxedo Mask, leaping into the fray. "I'll explain everything when this is over." Then he threw three of his trademark roses at the Heart Snatchers, taking a few of them out of the battle.

"What are you supposed to be?", said the elite warrior Cenicienta.

"I am Tuxedo Mask, defender of all that is good and innocent. And I won't stand creeps like you in my town." With this, he pulled a sword from his cane and engaged the glass creature in battle. After a prolonged struggle, the creature was defeated, reduced to her original form of a glass slipper. But Darien had no time to celebrate, as the Doom Phantom arrived, accompanied by an army of his army of "sand androids" (Droids for short). But as these events played out, no-one noticed Mistress 9's former host turn into a Sailor Scout. Nor did they notice Sailor Moon fading away.

Now it would begin. He had the army he needed to rid the city of the opposing resistance forces. He had turned his new servants into more of these "droids". Now he would begin the destruction with these pitiful humans. But instead of the vacuous airhead Moon Princess he was expecting, he was facing her shallow, pretty-boy boyfriend, Prince Darien. Clearly he had more lives than a cat. But another target so that soon drew his full attention. The traitor Malachite was on the front line. He moved to attack him, knocking him to the floor. "Now you will pay for what your betrayal of our shared cause."

Malachite was confused. "I'm sorry, but do I know you?"

"Don't you remember the old days, where we would served alongside Neflyte and Zoicite?", the shadow yelled, accusingly. "Remember how we hunted down and slaughtered Sailor Uranus and Neptune, so that Queen Beryl could launch her invasion undetected? Remember how you lobbied for me to be freed from my eternal sleep, so that I could help in your plans to capture the Silver Crystal? How we tricked Beryl into becoming an unwitting vessel for the Nega-Force?"

At these words, the former member of the Shittenou realised who he was talking to. "Jadeite, is that you? What happened?"

"I've moved beyond the need for a queen. I am my own leader now. I shall wipe out all the vermin that inhabit the universe to show that I am more effective than Beryl and Metalia ever were. My name is Wiseman, and I live to kill anyone who would stand in my way." He began to grow in size and turned his arm into a large pike. "Starting with you."

Elsewhere, Sailor Moon woke up in some strange place. It resembled the Ancient Greek temples she had seen on a vacation with her family. It was painful to think of them. She felt partially responsible for what had happened for them. If that lake monster hadn't attacked them, she wouldn't have had to blow her identity to everyone. When the army's of the Nega-verse had attacked, her family were the first to be targeted. Presumably, they were down there, fighting as some of those creatures that Malachite and his army had converted to their side. That thought filled her with some small relief.

Suddenly she noticed two figures sitting at an ornate table. One of them was a woman with green hair and dark skin, dressed in a Sailor uniform. The other woman had Silver hair, styled in the same meatball-style as Serena herself. She felt like she should know them, but she couldn't recall where from.

"Don't be afraid," the silver-haired woman said calmly "all will be clear to you soon."

Seeing the giant black creature arrive, the Sovereign decided to act against it. But as she lunged, it turned around and zapped her with his dark energy. Weakened, she turned towards her former body, the girl named Hotaru, who was now floating in mid-air. Mistress 9 knew she was beginning her awakening as Sailor Saturn, the warrior of death. But then the monster struck again, before she could reintegrate with her host.

"Oh no, there's no retreat into that form for you!" And with that, the creature fell apart into the goop that formed her. Then he redirected towards his former comrade, raising his arm for the kill.

"Stop!", yelled a little girl, running out from nowhere. She was dressed like a Sailor slut. Good. He could destroy one problem and turn another to his side through the dark energy he now possessed. One blast caused the little girl to lunge sideways, trying to cope with the energy.

But this had given Malachite the chance he needed to launch a final attack. The Silver-haired man unleashed his full energy, which caused his body to disintegrate. "Zoisite, my love, I'm coming.", he said before he faded from existence. But this had weakened the monster long enough for the other Sailors to take notice of their new member.

"Who is she?" "I don't know. She's just a kid." "She's no older than my little cousin." "Given the probabilities, she's very likely either the Scout for Pluto or Saturn. Maybe even Sedna." And the the girl woke up.

"You know", she said "I am a living being too. Not an object to be talked about." And then she turned to Mercury. "And you were right on your second guess. I am Sailor Saturn. The guardian of destruction and rebirth."

"What does that mean?", Michelle asked, confused.

"It means that I exist for one purpose.", the little girl replied. "To eradicate evil throughout the universe. I lay dormant inside the body of Hotaru Tomoe, who was consumed by the Sovereign of Silence at a young age. Now she is gone, I shall do that which I was born for."

"You mean, you're going to go up and destroy that thing?", Mina said, trying to conceal the horror in her reaction. "But that could mean you lose your life."

But Sailor Saturn merely smiled back at her. "I am merely doing what I was born to do. Once it has been done, the innocents shall be free and the nightmare will be over."

With that, she reached her hand into the sky and called out "Silent Scythe"! Then, such a weapon appeared in her hand. Then the little girl flew off the ground and into the giant black creature. "With the scythe of the goddess of death, I bid you begone!"

"No!", the Doom Phantom cried out. "I will not be destroyed. I will survive!"

And then, a bomb fell from the sky onto the giant creature.
