As always, C&C appreciated. I'm very curious about what people think
of the youma killer, since he's not much of a good guy. Near the
end of the story, I might put in a couple of journal entries from
the other side. Mars, perhaps, would have some interesting things to
say from the Crystal Tokyo Senshis' point-of-view.

A very good story.  The man is scum, but you do a very good job of showing
his point of view and he has some justification for what he does.  I'm
surprised Pluto hasn't come after his time-travelling self, but then I
missed the first chapter of this, so there may be a reason for that I
don't know about.

Also gives me some things to think about for my 'Black Moon Rising' story,
if I ever get around to writing it :)

      It sought to scour him to ash, but he would not burn.  It tried to 
crush him, but he would not be broken.  It tried to blow him away, but he 
would not move.  He locked his mind around it and struck back with his 
anger, binding it with the power within himself.  He had gone beyond 
rage, into the calm at the heart of the hurricane of his anger.  By 
turning his anger outward, he mastered it, and now he did the same for 
the power.
