"What a nightmare.", he thinks to himself. He wipes the sweat off his brow. "Rei in a dark place, being shot by some man.", his voice trails off. "Rei with Sailor Moon?". He settles back into his futon. "Rei being Sailor Mars.", he mumbles to himself, "No way.. couldn't be...". He yawns and then drifts off , back to a peaceful sleep. Elsewhere across town, at a door there's a knocking. Inside the apartment in a bed a female voice says, " Haruka.", she says nudging the other person "Haruka, Haruka!" "Upm. um. What?", she says reaching for the bedside lamp. "What is it Michiru? ", looking at a girl who's about sixteen with green hair slightly curly and the ends going down to about her shoulders. "Sounds like there is someone at the door, you better go and check it out.", poking the girl who's about her age and has blonde hair and has a very masculine features. "Why me?", she says looking sternly at Michiru. She smiles, "I'm too comfortable here and we'll do that thing you like when you get back." Haruka sighs, "I go and check it out for you.". She gets out of bed and puts on a bathrobe. The light knocking is continuing on the door. "I'm coming, I'm coming!", she says continuing toward the door. She starts to unlock the bolt on the door. "Geez, you better have a good reason or I'll...", Haruka opens the door and Ami is there with her leg shot up and bruises on her body. "Oh shit! Ami!", Haruka catches her. " "Michiru come her quickly!". She starts to wipe the blood off of Ami's face." Michiru walks out in a green bathrobe with fish on it. "What's going on?". She sees Ami. "What the happened to Ami?" "Help me put Ami on the couch." They both lift Ami onto the couch. "Get me a damp cloth and the first aid kit." "Right." Michiru runs to the bathroom. "All dead." "What?", says Haruka, not quite hearing what Ami had said. "The princess...", and the Imperial crystal drops to the floor. "What about the princess Ami?", and sees the imperial crystal on the floor. "What the?", she pick up the imperial crystal and looks very puzzled. Michiru comes back into the room with the first aid kit. "O.K. I got it." She opens it up and starts cleaning Ami's leg wound. Haruka looks at Michiru, "Sailor Moon may be dead." Michiru looks up a Haruka very surprised and shocked, "What do you mean Haruka?", and she begins to wrap up Ami's leg wound. "This", and she holds up the imperial crystal for Michiru to see. "Oh my God..", her mouth drops open. "How did Ami get that?" "She said something about Sailor Moon being dead and then the Imperial Crystal fell out her hand." Michiru looks very considered now, "Whoever got to Sailor Moon this easily..." "...Could come after us next ", and Haruka puts the imperial crystal back in Ami's hand. [Eye-catch: Side shot of Sailor Mercury with the Imperial crystal floating in her cupped hands as she looks up toward the moon.] [Eye-catch: Side shot of Sailor Mercury with the Imperial Crystal floating in her cupped hands looks up toward the moon] Elsewhere, Mamoru wakes up, "Usagi!", he yells wiping the sweat off his brow. "Only a dream..", he says reassuring himself. He then gets out of his bed and walks towards the washroom. He turns on the light and proceeds toward the sink. Then he turns on the cold water tap and splashes his face. Then lifts his head up to look into the bathroom mirror and sees refection of a man in his 30's with his head shaved except for a dark green strip that goes into a pony tail. He says calmly, "Hello Endymion. Remember me?" He then grabs Mamoru by the side of his head and slams it into the mirror. The glass shatters and blood is dripping down the side of Mamoru's face. "I'm not through with you yet, Endymion." He then picks up the dazed Mamoru and throws him into the table in the other room, shattering it. "Get up, you ass-hole, this time you will not beat me." He then chucks him into the wall. Mamoru collapses on the floor. He looks up to see this well built man slightly shorter than him wearing a torn t-shits and jeans, and a gray leather jacket with what appear to be fresh blood stains on it. "Who are you?", Mamoru asks blood dripping out his mouth. The man bends down and looks him in the eyes, "You mean you do not remember me?". He laughs. "Well, I better introduce myself then." He stands up. "I am Commander Nergal! You may not remember me Endymion, but I remember you." He picks him up again and throws him across the room into the couch causing it to topple over. He then walks over to him and pick him up with one arm and begins to punch Mamoru repeatedly in the chest, causing him to cough up blood. He then drops Mamoru on to the floor. "I can't kill you yet.", he says looking at Mamoru "My lord does not want you to die yet." He picks him up, and pulls up a chair. "I have something to show you, Endymion." He puts him in the chair and black bands wrap around him. Nergal, waves his hand and on the wall an image appears on the was of Sailor Moon. Mamoru watches Sailor Moon die, then Chibi-Moon and finally the other Scouts. "Usagi...", he says weeping. "How could you do such a thing?" "It was very easy.", he says turning away from Mamoru, "Those idiots fell right into the trap, and we only lost 2 Endikus, plus a few of the faceless." He turns towards Mamoru. A spear appears in his hand. It has a black handle with a large curved, blood red blade covered in glowing black runes. "Before I kill you I'll show you what you did to me." He rips the T-shirt off and there is a large scar crossing his entire chest. "You did this to me during a battle, Endymion." He puts his hand to the scar and follows it the entire length of his chest. "You may not remember it, but I do like it was yesterday.", He raises the spear above his head, "Now join your lover in death." and points the blade toward Mamoru. But Mamoru manages to free one of his arms and throws a rose at him. The rose impales Nergal in the eye, blood starts steaming out of the wound. He screams in pain, dropping to his knees and clutching at his bleeding eye. Mamoru manages to break the rest of his bonds and runs toward the patio door. "Damn you Endymion!" He pulls the rose out of his eye, and starts to get up. Mamoru runs through the glass of the patio window shattering it, and jumps over the balcony edge. "Damn you!" , and the entire apartment building is consumed in a large explosion. Nergal is floating there clutching at his eye, "Shit ! My lord will not be pleased by this.", and he disappears. --------------------------------------------------------- Across from Haruka's and Michiru condo, on a apartment rooftop a silver haired man watches them, with binoculars. He thinks to himself , "All I have to do is kill Sailor Mercury and my lord will have no more worries. I hope I get a promotion for this." He walks over to a nearby shadow and pulls out a rocket launcher. Suddenly a staff hits him in the chest and he drops the rocket launcher. Standing there is a girl with green hair with a long pony tail. She is wearing a green miniskirt with a white top and is hold a staff in one hand. The man looks at her "Who the fuck are you?" She says calmly, "I am Sailor Pluto and I cannot allow you to harm Sailor Mercury." "Oh yea? We'll see about that." He pulls a gun out of his jacket and start shooting Sailor Pluto. She dodges out of the way and whispers, "Dead Scream." A energy ball builds up on her staff and she fires it at him. He manages to dodge partially out of the way but the attack obliterates his arm. "Fuck!", he says looking at Sailor Pluto. The stump of his arm is heavily bleeding black blood. He clutches at it. "Another time then Sailor Pluto.", and he melds into the shadows. Sailor Pluto looks toward the condominium and walks away. Meanwhile inside Michiru and Haruka's apartment their try their best to patch up Ami. "She'll die if we don't get her to a hospital.", Michiru says looking at Haruka. "What are we going to say?", she says as she starts to pace around. "Hello my friend here has been attacked by some wild animal in the middle of downtown Tokyo?" "Haruka.." she says nodding her head "Do you have a better idea?" She sighs, "No I don't." "O.K. then help me get Ami to your car." Haruka picks Ami up carefully, "At least this time I have a good reason to drive really fast." Michiru shutters. Haruka drives like a maniac to the hospital, passing and swearing at the other drivers comparing how slow they are going. When they get to the hospital and pull put to the emergency they see a boy in jeans and a jacket some up to the car. "I have been waiting for you." Haruka and Michiru look at each other quite puzzled "Who the fuck are you?", Haruka says getting while getting out of the car. "I'm Urawa." "Oh!" Michiru says looking quite surprised. "Ami mentioned you a couple of times." He looks at Ami, "Let me take her in you two have other things you must do. Haruka takes start to take Ami out of the car, "What do you mean?" "I don't have time to explain right now." "O.K. O.K. you don't have to be so persistent.", she says handing Ami over to him. "She was to much of a burden anyway." "Haruka!", Michiru says looking at her quite intently. Shingo start to walk to towards the main doors and asks for help from one of the nurses. Haruka gets back into the car, "We'll this has been a stranger than usual evening." "I'll say and something tells me this is going to get a lot worse.", Michiru says looking at the stars thorough the window. Haruka start to drive away from the hospital, "You still have a promise to keep Michiru." "That's right." , she says, "You better drive faster in case I forget!" They both laugh and they drive back to their apartment. --------------------------------------------------------- In a place far removed from our own dimension, a number of people stand around a large crystal floating in the air. A booming voice comes from the Crystal, "Nergal, tell me what has transpired." Nergal walk out of the shadows that are surrounding the crystal. He now wearing a chain mail top, and loose fitting leather pants. He has a patch covering his damage eye. He bows down to the crystal, "Forgive me my lord, but I was possibly unsuccessful in killing the bastard Prince Endymion." The voice booms. "It does not matter Nergal. If you haven't killed him you have broken his spirit. He will be not threat to us." "Mummu.", the voice says and a person walks up to the crystal he wears a white cloak with silver symbols around the edge of the sleeve and bottom edge, "Yes my lord?" "Tell me how it goes on earth." "We'll my lord we have managed to identify 5 of bodies of the Sailor Scouts, the one known as Sailor Mercury is missing. We also could not find the Imperial Crystal." A 3-d image appears of Sailor Mercury near to Mummu. Nergal walks over to the image, "She doesn't look like much." A metallic hand comes out of one of the sleeves of the cloak, "Her attack are the most weakest of the Scouts but she is most the most intelligent." The voice booms, "The crystal does not concern me only the user did." The symbols surrounding the crystal suddenly start to glow. "Damn this prison!" The symbols stop glowing, "Lithith!" A very well built woman comes out in a very tight skimpy leather outfit, half of her face and body has horrible scars. A she carries 2 short swords on her back. "Yes my lord." "Go to earth and take care of this Sailor Mercury and anyone else that gets in your way." "Yes, my lord." "Plan your strategy, well Lithith. I do not tolerate failure. Mummu! What other news do you have for me." "One of our Endikus had an encounter with a unknown Scout.", he says looking at the crystal. "OH?", the voice says. "Yes according to the Endiku her name was Sailor Pluto." An image of Sailor Pluto appears doing her attack. "This is interesting. See what other information you can get on her Mummu." "Yes my lord." "When will the next gate open?", the voice says. "According to my estimates in about 3 days my lord." "That is fine. Is that enough time Lilith?" "More than adequate my lord.", she says. "Good.", the voice says, "Give her the help she needs Mummu." "Yes my lord", and Mummu and Lilith both disappear. "Nergal!" Nergal looks up at the crystal, "Yes my lord." "Any news on finding my essences?" "No, my lord. But we are trying the best we can." "Look harder then! I must escape from this terrible prison and do what I was meant to do." "Yes my lord.", and he walks away. (To be continued...) Comments/praise go to Andrew J. Currie.
