BLEED SAILORMOON BLEED
by DDFA (Mark A Page)

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Sailormoon is owned by a whole lot of people who aren't me, so I'm
only abusing these characters in a manner that most people would 
describe as scandalous.  ^_^

Warning - This story contains scenes of graphic violence of the
visceral kind, and concepts that may be somewhat disturbing to some.
I would, therefore, suggest that none of you kiddies read it.

--------------------------------------------------------------------


	Enemies have this tendency to want to kill lots of people, and
this is especially true of anyone who stands in their way.



	Sailormoon stood her ground, holding on to a bleeding Mercury,
as the last of Deathmaster's guards died from the simplest of 
attacks that she was still capable of sending.  She then turned to 
her senshi and felt ill.

	The girl's face was covered with her own blood and that of the
guards.  She was panting heavily, her eyes closed.  She also no 
longer had her right arm.

	Nearby lay Mars, her skull cracked open and her guts ripped 
open, lying on top of the body of the guard who killed her in this
manner, still smoking from the last fire blast she would ever send.

	On the other side of the room was Venus, sitting up against 
the cavern wall, still with that shocked expression she'd had on her
face the moment a hole was blown through her chest.  Her hand was 
still clutching her Venus Love Me Chain, the other end wrapped 
around the broken neck of her murderer.

	Uranus and Neptune went out together, clearing the entrance to
Deathmaster's lair.  Before anyone else had an opportunity to react
upon the appearance of the guards, they'd piled straight in, 
sacrificing themselves in a manner that only they were capable of
doing.  Their bodies lay together, shredded, their flesh and blood
splattered throughout the equally splattered remains of the three 
hundred guards they took out with them.

	But that was nothing compared to what Jupiter and Saturn took
out, together.  Jupiter had gone into a sheer blood frenzy as soon 
as she'd seen Uranus and Neptune die, ripping the heads and limbs 
off guards with her bare hands, taking the most horrible of wounds
without even feeling them.  She continued to kill for up to ten 
minutes after it was painfully obvious that she was already dead.  
It had to have been hard to keep standing after having had your 
heart ripped from your chest.

	Sailormoon could no longer see her.  Her body lay under a pile
of guards' corpses.  But she could see Saturn.  The girl never had 
an opportunity to destroy the world, as was her role, when it looked
like an enemy was going to win.  Instead, she'd hacked and chopped 
her way through guards with a spinning and twirling Silence Glaive,
first in an attempt to save Uranus and Neptune, then in an equal 
attempt to save Jupiter, and finally in a desperate attempt to save 
herself.  She almost succeeded, too!  Almost.  An explosive blast 
from one of the guard's generals finished her.  Now she rested, 
still standing, both hands on the glaive, whose blade had been 
thrust through the head of that general.


	Their loss wasn't in vain, though.  All those senshi, who had
died, had managed to decimate the number of guards until there were
no more than six or seven left.  Even so, it was foolhardy for 
someone like Mercury, whose powers were intrinsically defensive, to
try to take them on.  Still, there seemed to be a lot in her armory
of attacks that Sailormoon hadn't seen before.  She wondered why 
Mercury had never used them.


	Then one of the last two guards gripped her by the arm and 
tore it off, then backhanded her across the cavern.  Sailormoon had
only just managed to catch her when she felt Pluto's hand on her 
shoulder.  She looked up into Pluto's eyes, and something passed 
between them....  Something she wished had never had to happen.

	Then Pluto charged forward, blasting both guards with her Dead
Scream.  One died, the other was still alive enough to swing at her
and break her neck.

	Sailormoon finished him.

	And none of them had even managed to get close to taking on 
Deathmaster, himself.


	Sailormoon looked sadly into the face of Mercury as she felt
the girl go cold, her breathing coming to a stop.  Slowly, she 
lowered her senshi to the ground.

	"How touching...."  Came a small but annoying voice from the
entrance to Deathmaster's lair.  She turned and stared at the demon
from space, himself.

	Nothing more than a dwarf.  A dwarf with immense powers, but 
the most smarmy, smug and repugnant dwarf that one could ever hope 
to bear witness to.  She sneered at him with total contempt.  He
merely chuckled.

	"Looks like your friends did my guards for a treat."  He 
turned and reached into the nearest pile of dead guards, rummaging
around in the sickening mess, eventually pulling out a human arm.
Jupiter's arm.  "Well well well, what do we have here?"  He tossed
it towards Sailormoon.  "She did a good job.  Pity she was a 
Sailorsenshi.  I really would have liked to have someone like that 
guarding me."

	"You b..bastard!"  Sailormoon croaked.  "Why did you come to
our world?  Why did you have to infect our planet with your 
presence?"

	Deathmaster chuckled, shaking his head.  "I was hungry.  Why 
else would I come to a planet with living beings?  I do it 
everywhere I go.  Invade the planet, take control and harvest the
lifeforms.  When the planet is dead, I move on.  Quite an enjoyable
little quest."  He rubbed his chin.  "I wonder how I'll cook you?
Should I stew you, or have you roasted, with steamed vegetables."

	"Oooohhh....  Yes master.  Let me roast her, I shall make you
the finest roast princess in the universe."  A sniveling little 
toad of a creature, dressed in a chef's white coat and hat, 
sharpening some meat knives as he salivated over the carnage in the
cavern, stepped out from behind Deathmaster.  His lord turned to 
him, smiling.

	"In time, Gaston....  I just want the pleasure of killing her,
myself."  Deathmaster looked back up at Sailormoon, rubbing his 
hands together.  Gaston laughed inanely.

	"Oooh, yesss.  Make sure to tenderise the meat, first.  These
princesses can be pretty tough to work with, otherwise."


	Sailormoon gritted her teeth in sheer disgust.  "I shall never
let you eat the living beings of MY world."

	"Oh do shutup."  Deathmaster smiled, and fired a blast of 
energy in her direction.  She tried to dodge, but failed.  She was
flung to the rear wall of the cavern, striking it with a sickening
thud.  She stared in shock as she slid down, leaving a trail of 
blood behind her.

	"Can't lose....  Not to this freak...."  She whispered to 
herself as she stared at the floor, having rested in a sitting 
position, feeling the warm, wet sensation of her blood, running down
her back.

	"Heeeheeeheee...."  Gaston started to dance around.  "I should
collect some of the other senshi and fry them down....  The juices 
shall make a lovely base for the gravy...."

	Sailormoon looked up as Deathmaster approached, a feeling of 
sickened fear crossing her face.  "Yesssss....  That's right, 
Sailormoon.  Bleed!  BLEED!"  He stepped right up to her, grabbing
her chin with a hand.  "I HATE you.  I despise all of your kind.  
Even when I was a child, back on my homeworld, I hated you.  Back in
the days when I was a member of the anti-senshi party...."  He 
smiled.  "We used to hunt your kind down and burn you on the stake.
Witches!  'Burn the Witch', we used to shout.  And then you routed 
us....  Drove us to the point of extinction, until there was only 
one of us left...."  He sneered at her with contempt.  "Bleed, 
Sailormoon.  Bleed for what you kind did to mine."


	"Potatoes, carrots, beans and peas....  Pumpkins, 
cauliflowers, cabbages and suedes....  Teeheeheeheehee...."  Gaston 
hopped from senshi body to senshi body, dragging them back to a small 
pile in the center of the cavern.  Sailormoon watched, dazedly, as he 
grabbed Pluto and dumped her on top of the others, remembering what 
passed between them before she died.


	"You think it's that simple....  Do you?"  She looked up at
Deathmaster, croaking.  He frowned.

	"What do you mean?"

	"Do you think.... that we would let you... just get away with
what you are doing?  What you have done?"  She smiled, feeling the
darkness starting to descend on her, willing it to come, fast.


	Deathmaster backed away.  "GASTON!  She's smiling!  Why is she 
smiling?  WHY?"  He blurted out, suddenly filled with a sense of 
fear he had not felt, before.  Gaston looked up as he started to 
carve up the senshis' bodies into useable portions.

	"My lord?"

	"She's SMILING!  She shouldn't be doing THAT!  Not NOW!"


	Sailormoon shook her head.  "There was one thing you never 
took account for, when you came to our world.  Pluto never ever 
allows herself to lose.  Not even in death."  She chuckled, 
painfully.  "She placed the continued existence of this system into
my body.  When I die, everything goes with me."


	"NOOOOOOOO!"  Deathmaster cried out in a splenetic rage.


	Sailormoon died, the blood loss finally taking its toll.


	The solar system evaporated in a supernova the likes of which 
had not been seen for millennia....


A VERY DEFINITE END
