A multi-part chapter.

Part 3

As Satanael walked through the off-site lab, he could only look around and frown in confusion. "Where is everyone?" There were some scientists on staff as they did experiments on Murasaki, who was bound and unable to move while they tested her pain tolerance and regenerative abilities and he noticed that there were some that were looking over Sailor Moon's vitals, but none of them were doing anything. "What is going on?!" He stormed into the last area where Dr. Kiryuu was looking over a concoction that he was putting into an injector. "Just what is going on?"

"For some reason, most of my staff decided that they couldn't work with me anymore." Dr. Kiryuu said with a shrug. "They said something about ethics and conscious or something crazy like that. Bah!" He growled in annoyance as he finished the injector and handed it to Satanael. "Just inject that into her anywhere, it should force her mind to suffer enough stress that it should finish allowing her to master her Sacred Gear." After Satanael took it, Dr. Kiryuu tapped his chin. "Well, either that or she'll die from a stroke."

"I hope not, for your sake." Satanael told him and turned to leave before pausing as he saw a room with a naked Ingrid with her body stuck in a metal tube. "What about that one?"

"I was going to prepare her and that one known as Murasaki for vivisections later." Dr. Kiryuu said calmly. "Anyway, she won't be your problem anymore."

"Good to know." Satanael said as he left.

Turning away, Dr. Kiryuu grinned. "Now that he's gone, I can..." He trailed off as he heard the door open. Turning around, he looked at the newcomer in confusion. "Who are you?"

A minute later, Satanael walked into the room where Nabiki was strapped to a chair and grabbed her head and pulled it to the side before putting the injector into her neck and pulling the trigger.

The effect was almost immediate as Nabiki clenched her teeth and her eyes rolled into the back of her head as she jerked and spasmed. "If this doesn't kill you, you should have your Sacred Gear mastered and then..." He grinned as her movements got more violent and erratic. "Then I'll have the means to force all the Sacred Gears in the world to achieve the level of Longinus. After that? Hmm, I guess I'll finish what Father started in the past and take down the other pantheons with an army of Longinus Sacred Gear users." Suddenly Nabiki went still and slumped over. "Are you alive?" He asked and lifted her head up, grinning as he saw that her eyes were a blue screen. "You did it!"

"Yes, yes I did." Nabiki said with a smirk. "And so did you."

Suddenly a violent shaking was heard that nearly had Satanael falling over. "What the hell?!"

"There's always a random chance that someone who shouldn't show up shows up simply because they couldn't find the right door." Nabiki said as the wall in front of them exploded, revealing a naked and pissed off Ingrid, Murasaki, who was bloody and in a similar state of dress, as well as Usagi, who was in her Sailor Senshi form and one other person that Satanael didn't recognize and Nabiki had to tilt her head in confusion.

"...Ryoga Hibiki?" Nabiki asked, a dumbfounded expression on her face. "How did you get here?"

"I got lost." Ryoga answered. "I overheard that scientist guy saying he was going to cut people up and got kind of mad, got lost again and somehow ended up in front of him, beat the shit out of him and freed these girls." His voice was off, mostly due to having a bandanna shoved into each of his nostrils. "Is nudity common around here?"

"No." Satanael growled as he swung his arms in a wide arc. "BUT DEATH IS!"

A burst of power sent Ryoga, Sailor Moon, Ingrid and Murasaki flying through the wall as Satanael followed them out of the room.

Ingrid flipped over, her naked breasts swaying heavily as she rushed forward, her arms engulfed in flame as she punched and kicked at Satanael, who parried them before punching her in the jaw and knocking her away, which only left him open as Murasaki ripped a door off of its hinges and threw it at him. Sneering, Satanael created a sword of light energy in his hands and cut the door to pieces. "Is that all?"

"...Therapy KISS!" Sailor Moon yelled as she finished charging up her attack.

Satanael quickly dodged to the side as the blast tore through where he had been a moment ago. Even so, he lost two wings in the process. Grimacing, he stumbled upon landing and launched several light arrows at the three women, forcing them to dodge. "Even a clipped shot?" He growled as Sailor Moon grabbed her tiara and then swung her arm out as more than a dozen crescent blades of light came rushing out, slashing through his attacks and disrupting them.

Murasaki simply dodged through the attacks and got over to Ingrid before nodding at her and getting on her knees as Ingrid stepped on Murasaki's hands before being launched at Satanael. Crossing her arms in front of her, Ingrid was engulfed in flames as the light arrows crashed into her. Once she got through them she grabbed Satanael by the throat and got behind him, gripping the Fallen's arm and wrenching it behind him. "Sailor Moon!"

"On it!" Sailor Moon yelled as she charged up another magical attack. "Moonlight Silver..."

"You'll get caught in this too." Satanael said and smirked. "Though I suppose this isn't the worst thing to feel before dying. Your breasts that is." He chuckled as she tightened her grip on him. "Too bad."

Ingrid let out a yell of surprise and pain as arrows tore through the floors and stabbed her through the feet and in the knees, forcing her to loosen her grip and allowing Satanael to slam the back of his head against her face before jumping away. It was a good thing for Ingrid that Sailor Moon had good control over her magic and the attack just washed over her harmlessly. "Thanks." She hissed as she set her legs on fire to destroy the arrows pinning her down. She tried to get up but found her legs weren't listening to her. 'Dammit.'

"Here." Sailor Moon said as she got close to Ingrid and used her magic to heal the dark-skinned warrior. "Even if you were working for the bad guys, you're helping us now."

"I have my reasons." Ingrid said as she looked at Murasaki, who was just grabbing whatever wasn't bolted down, and a few things that were, and throwing them at Satanael as fast as he fired magical arrows at her. "I hope you don't mind me using you to get the answers I need."

"So long as you don't stop me from helping my friends."

Ingrid smirked a little at that. "Easy enough." After the healing was done, Ingrid stood up, her breasts wobbling in ways that privately made Sailor Moon green with envy. "Shall we deal with him?"

"Get him pinned down and I can." Sailor Moon said and Ingrid nodded and launched a stream of black fire at Satanael, who had to dodge it.

'He's not as hard as Mercury was when I fought her.' Ingrid thought to herself. 'But he's crafty.' She had to dodge as arrows came out of the ground, aimed at her feet, legs and ass.

"Well, thanks for coming back for me." Nabiki drawled as Ryoga walked up to where she was shackled. "Surprised you didn't stick around to fight Satanael."

Ryoga gave her a flat expression. "I'm one of the best fighters of my generation." He jerked a thumb behind him as explosions rang out. "I can fire energy blasts, but there's no way in hell I'm anything more than dead weight with the power they're throwing around." He grabbed her shackles and tore it off. "Besides, I don't need anyone finding out I was around naked women other than my wife any more than I needed."

"Plus you look like your nose is about to explode." Nabiki pointed out helpfully while giggling. "Good thing your wife is a nudist, huh?"

"She's not. She only walked around the house naked to get me used to seeing her naked." Ryoga told her. "I mean, it worked. I got a couple of kids out of it." After getting her free, he looked away. "I tried to not look, but, ah, could you get some clothes on?"

Nabiki sat up and scratched her head as a pair of shorts and a loose shirt formed on her body. "Huh, I kind of... Oh..." Her eyes were glowing blue as she looked at herself. "Ryoga, I'm going to say this very calmly, I need a moment to adjust, but I might start acting or behaving weirdly, okay?"

"Uhh... Okay." Ryoga said with a nod. "What are..." Suddenly a surge of power rushed from Nabiki, knocking Ryoga across the room. "The hell?!"

Nabiki hovered in the air and floated forward. "I'll deal with our black-feathered friend, you get the others and get out of here."

Ryoga wanted to question it, but the way her voice was distorted, like her voice was merged with someone else's and he had no idea how to process that.

"GAH!" Satanael screamed as his left arm was blown off before Murasaki and Ingrid punched him into the far wall. Falling to his knees, he grit his teeth. "I just wanted to see the full evolution of the Sacred Gears." He glared up at the three women as an aura of power erupted from him. "HOW DARE YOU STOP ME?!"

Thousands upon thousands of arrows appeared in the air surrounding Sailor Moon, Murasaki and Ingrid before being launched at the trio.

As Satanael watched, everything seemed to move in slow motion, from his arrows, to the three women, even his own reactions seemed to be moving slow. "Yes, now you three can... Wait, what's going on?" He realized that things didn't seem like they were in slow motion, they really were moving in slow motion. He tied to take a step to the side to look around, only to find that his movements were slow. "What's going on?" He gasped as his light spears shattered into motes of light.

"Me." Nabiki said as she floated in front of him, her eyes glowing. "Thanks to Ryoga's distraction, I managed to remotely access God's System in Heaven. Meaning, for the next few minutes, I am in control of reality." She grinned at Satanael as she grabbed his throat. "Which means, you can't do anything without my permission."

In truth, she had as much time as she needed, but she also knew that accessing God's System like she was doing had major downsides and that she would pay a massive price for each minute she was connected to it. She wasn't even controlling him directly as she had simply slowed down time for everyone and everything around her. But that was simply semantics in the grand scheme of things. "Let's go somewhere private to talk."

The two disappeared in a flash of light, leaving Ryoga, Murasaki, Ingrid and Usagi all looking around in confusion. "Uh, where did they go?" Ryoga asked. "And why do I have a sudden urge to leave and find the others?"

"How about we do just that?" Ingrid said and paused as Ryoga turned the wrong way. "Hey!"

"I told you that my sense of direction was bad!" Ryoga grimaced as he realized that he was alone with two naked women. "My wife is going to kill me when I get home. My kids are going to hit me and call me the worst father ever!"

Ingrid rolled her eyes and grabbed his hand. "Then follow me and don't let go."

"AT LEAST PUT SOME CLOTHES ON!" Ryoga screamed as he followed after the naked women and Sailor Moon.

Reappearing somewhere that Satanael didn't recognize, Nabiki let go of his throat as he unfurled his many black wings and looked around in confusion. "W...Where are we?"

"The oldest part of the universe." Nabiki answered him as she took a moment to admire the red, blue and greens of the space clouds. "A part that humans won't see for thousands of years." Neither she nor Satanael could stop looking around in awe and amazement that something like this could exist in the universe, so far away from their home. "Beautiful." Nabiki whispered before shaking her head. "And now, time for you to realize..." She snapped her fingers as a pair of large doors appeared behind her. "That this is a part of reality that you'll never see again."

"You... ARROGANT DEVIL!" Satanael screamed as he prepared to strike her down. "I HELP YOU AND THIS IS THE THANKS I GET?!"

"Yes." Nabiki said as the Gates opened up and a swirling mix of blue, green and white appeared from behind the doors. "This is the Gates of Time and I'm going to use them to send you so far back in time that you'll end up in the first universe that ever existed." Suddenly fleshy tentacles rushed out from the gates and wrapped around Satanael's limbs and neck before yanking him through the time.

"DAMN YOU!" Satanael screamed as he struggled against the tentacles. "DAMN YOU!"

After Satanael had disappeared into the light, Nabiki closed the doors and sighed before looking around and admiring the scenery. "Too bad I'm the only one who can see this." She muttered and made sure to take a picture of what she was seeing with her Sacred Gear. "So pretty." For a moment, Nabiki swore that she saw someone with her, giving her a sad look before she shook her head and disappeared from sight. "I shouldn't have wasted time. That was... Nearly ten minutes?" She asked as she returned to Earth and disconnected herself from Heaven's System. "Fuck, that was longer than I thought it would be."

Nabiki groaned as she stumbled and fell forward. She was stopped from hitting the ground by a familiar body, looking up, she smiled as she saw Ai looking at her in concern. "He's gone. For good. We won."

She knew it was a pyrrhic victory at best and that she would need to talk to Ranma about a very real problem that she would have in the near future.

After all, Yahweh wouldn't let anyone, especially a Devil, access his system like she had done without serious consequences.

Well, that was interesting. And I had planned on Ryoga showing up to bail Nabiki out for awhile.
