After the Tokyo Tower was destroyed the Sailor Senshi had avoided any
contact with it, the twisted metal bars and the rubble were a
remainder of their failure. For, when the once proud tower once stood
also had stood people. People that had trusted them to save them from
the evil sadistic monster that had destroyed it without a second
glance.
They had tried to ignore the pain of facing the families of those
people.
Therefore, in an effort to put their minds at rest, Ami had found the
means to take them to the beach. Still, they had found their enemies
even there.
Not only that but the dragons had attacked Usagi's family before they
left, and now Ami had been warned that the same could happen to the
other's families.
And so, Ami had returned to the dreaded place, the Tokyo Tower to tell
her mother to leave. And to do that, Ami realized now, she would
have to reveal her deepest secret.

Chapter 6; 'P.S. I want you dead.'
By Wanderer D
"Tell me, Winter. Why is it that I permit this barbaric beings to
continue perpetrating their miserable treacherous race?"
Winter, kneeling at the base of Black's throne looked up at his master.
Tilting his head to the side he curiously looked at him as he
pondered a suitable answer.
"I do not know your lordship, why?"
"I have decided to discontinue this particular..." Black shifted
thoughtfully, trying to express his feelings to his servant.
"...cattle."
Winter gulped down slowly, never taking his eyes from the figure on
the throne. He didn't like where this was going.
"How many statues are still left in this island?"
"Two, sir..."
"Very well then, send 'Gold' to retrieve them. I will destroy this
island when we have them."
Winter bowed low after standing up and quickly ran to fetch Gold.
However, before he left the room, Black stopped him. "Winter, don't
tell 'Gold' what I told you, it would be unfortunate to lose him...
accidentally..." Winter nodded and left.
Black waited alone in the throne room quietly. He then started to
chuckle softly as a small sphere of light appeared before him. Inside
it, Japan could be seen.
"What are you going to do, Rae?" Usagi asked.
Mamoru, Usagi and Rae sat at the Hikawa temple, Rae wasn't sure if
she should tell her grandfather her true identity.
"What if what Sapphire said was some sort of a trap?" Rae asked
nervously.
"You know that's not true Rae!"
Finally Rae sighed and nodded. "I know. It's just that I didn't want
grandfather to know that..."
"Know what, Rae?" asked her grandfather, as he walked into the room.
"Grandfather!"
Gold stood up when Winter entered his quarters. Seeing who it was he
sat down again and glared at the white dragon. "What is it that you
want?"
"Black has ordered you to retrieve the next statue as soon as
possible." Winter returned coldly.
"Oh, the lizard is finding his fangs! Very well then, I shall find
the next statue tonight."
The white dragon left irritated and almost bumped into Sapphire, who
was walking in right then.
"I see you haven't changed your mind." she commented.
"I told you my plans. I can't act until my debt is paid." responded
the gold dragon.
"Can't or won't? Listen Gold, I'll be surprised if you survive long
enough to pay your debt." she said darkly..
Gold glared at her as she left. Somehow, he knew she was right.
"I will avenge my friends." He vowed vehemently. "Even if it costs me
my life."
"Well dear, you know I can't stay away much longer..." Dr. Mizuno
said looking at her daughter. "What is it Ami?"
Makoto placed her hand reassuringly on Ami's shoulder. Ami smiled at her
and turned towards her mother.
"Mom, I... I don't know how to say it..." Ami looked at Makoto for
support.
"Come on Ami, you can tell her, she's your mother..." she whispered.
Ami looked resolutely at her mother. "Mom I'm..."
"A lesbian? Come on Ami, you already know I really don't have problems
with lesbianism. I know that two of your friends are lesbians too."
Makoto quickly retrieved her had from Ami's shoulder and looked at her
surprised, as the later looked in disbelief at her mother. "MOM!"
Dr Mizuno looked at the two in surprise. "You two are not together?"
They shook their heads. "Oh, my. Sorry about that Ami."
"Usagi, Mamoru, would you leave us alone?" Rae asked her friends, who
nodded and left, closing the door behind them.
"Well, Rae?" Asked Grandfather Hino.
Rae closed her eyes and sighed deeply, gathering her courage while her
grandfather waited patiently.
"Grandfather, so much has happened... I really don't know where to
start..."
"Sometimes Rae, the best place to start is the beginning." he answered
smiling.
Rae smiled back. "Remember how shaken I was when Tokyo Tower was
destroyed?"
"Well Ami, if it wasn't what you were going to tell me..."
Makoto suddenly looked up at the sky and scowled. Ami and her mother
looked up and saw a figure flying into the city.
"What was that?"
"Gold." Makoto growled. "That means there'll be another attack!" She
looked at Ami meaningfully.
Dr. Mizuno caught the look and her expression darkened slightly. She
grabbed Ami's hand and walked to where Makoto couldn't hear.
"Ami, don't tell me you're somehow related to what happened to Tokyo
Tower?"
"Mom, I..." Ami stammered.
"Too late Ami! We have to go. Now! He's found the statue! I can feel
it!" Makoto practically shouted as she grabbed her by the shoulders.
"If we want to stop Black, we need the statues!" she added.
Ami looked at her mother apologetically, then turned to run after Gold.
Makoto grabbed her arm and stopped her. "We won't get there in time
this way, you'd better kill two birds with one shot."
"Jupiter Crystal Power Makeup!"
"Mercury Crystal Power Makeup!"
Dr Mizuno had seen many things in her life, but nothing remotely
similar to what she now saw as her daughter and her friend being
surrounded by energy. Blue energy enveloped her daughter as green
energy did the same to Makoto. Water suddenly appeared out of no where
and created a blue and white sailor fuku for Ami as she rotated in the
air until she stopped and a tiara appeared on her forehead.
Lightning surrounded Makoto and created another fuku for her, this one
dark green and white.
Then they ran away, jumping high and avoiding all obstacles with
incredible ease.
Dr. Mizuno fell to her knees, as she watched them go she remembered
two days ago.
Flashback;
Ami's mother sat down completely spent on the couch, she had been
working all day at the remains of Tokyo Tower along with many
volunteers and doctors trying to find survivors. They had found none.
The fact that there was a crater beneath the rubble didn't help much
either.
Ami came in with a sandwich and a glass of milk for her, she gave them
to her and sat down. Ami's mother now recalled that Ami had kept her
gaze on the floor all the time.
"Did you find anything, mom?"
Ami's mother sighed deeply and rubbed her eyes with her forearm. "No."
She took a long drink before speaking again. "What is it with this
city, Ami? There's always something going on here, and not only in the
city, all over Japan! Two days ago someone reported sighting a group of
humanoid turtles in Mount Fuji, they also said that they wore masks and
carried weapons. Then, just last week I met a colleague from the Nerima
district, and you wouldn't believe the stories he told me. Then here in
Tokyo, some winged monster destroys Tokyo Tower and nobody did a
thing!"
"What about the Sailor Senshi?"
"Hmm! They are as bad as the monsters! Most of their attacks shatter the
ground! Some of the people that were able to see the battle say that
the sailor Senshi were responsible for the explosion, since the monster
reacted to their presence! I know sometimes the cure is worse than the
disease, but this is ridiculous!"
She looked up to see Ami running upstairs.
End Flashback.
Kneeling on the ground, she let the tears slide down her face. "Oh, Ami.
I'm so sorry..."
"Hmm... it should be around here..." Gold muttered as he dived and
landed on the rooftop of a building, surveying the area.
In the streets he spotted the entrance to the subway. "Ah, there.
There's too many people though, I'll have to wait..." sitting down
he adopted a meditative pose and closing his eyes, he slowly faded.
When Jupiter and Mercury arrived near there, they couldn't find him.
"He came to this area..." Ami said.
"So where is he?"
"I don't know, we'll have to wait around here until he returns."
"Are you sure he'll be back?" Makoto sounded dubious.
"There's a very high probability that he'll do just that."
"Then we'd better call the others."
That night the Sailor Senshi waited patiently, hidden between
buildings and up some trees. From her vantage point, up a tree,
Makoto looked a Rae who stood next to a building. The raven-haired
Senshi of fire looked up at her and shook her head. Jupiter sighed
heavily, until a sixth sense told her to look up. Doing that she
noticed a draconic figure standing on top of one building. She saw
Gold jump down and catch one of the drafts, gliding down to the
ground and landing lightly on his feet.
He then walked into the subway. All the Senshi plus Tuxedo Mask ran
down the subway stairs.
The train had just left and there was no one around for the moment
so Gold ignored the drunk that had lain down in a corner and looked
around.
He finally found the place he was looking for in the wall on the
other side of the rail.
He started walking towards it when a small scratch stopped him.
Turning around he faced the senshi, who were glaring at Usagi.
"Sailor Moon!" Rae groaned.
"Sorry..." She said meekly.
"So, you found me. I'm really not surprised."
"You're going to stop this now Gold!"
The golden dragon snorted and pointed his open palm at the wall.
Meanwhile;
White looked at his master from where he knelt. "Coldfire's here."
he reported.
"Good. Tell Coldfire to enter, and leave."
Winter nodded his acknowledgement and left the throne room, after
Coldfire had walked in he closed the doors.
He assumed what seemed to be a threatening possition and stood
guard.
Suddenly he sensed something and looked up. His eyes opened wide
and he yelped as he jumped to the side. Where he stood a concrete
tube crashed, braking in two.
There, between the rocks was a small wooden chest.
Winter growled low and picked it up. He went into Black's chamber.
Black looked at him angrily.
"Gold has delivered the Silver statue."
The sailor senshi looked at the wall where a part of the concrete
had been sliced and the cilinder of solid concrete had dissapeared.
"You are not having much luck are you, youngsters? The Silver
statue was in there, now Black has it."
The Senshi glared at him, and were about to attack when a voice
stopped them.
"YOU IDIOTS! YOU HAVE LOST EVERY STATUE FROM THE BEGINING! I
SHOULD KILL YOU ALL NOW!"
Suddenly the cieling gave in, and huge chunks of stone crashed to
the ground. The senshi covered their eyes from the dust that had
covered the area, while Gold looked interested.
Rae stumbled back from the force of the feelings she got. She lost
control and fell to her knees gasping. Usagi knelt beside her.
"Mars!" she shook her friend until Rae looked at her and hugged
her as if her life depended on it. Usagi held her as the dust
setteled, she could make out the armored figure of Mask.
He had his sword in his right hand, and all his figure glowed with
small trickles of white lightning, his cape buffeted wildly as if
the air was trying to tear it from him.
As Rae calmed down a little she looked up at him. "Such hate..."
Mask started walking towards the senshi and the dragon.
Suddenly a red beam flew towards him. Without missing a beat he
swung his sword and cut the beam in two, which crashed behind him
with an explasion. He stopped to look at his antagonnist and
growled.
"I see you're pretty good with drama knight, I wonder if you're as
good fighting?"
A female dragon walked down the stairs. Her grace evident to
everyone, but also the coldness of her steel colored eyes. She
litteraly shone with the remaining light, her silver scales
reflecting it perfectly.
Gold recognized her imediately. "Coldfire!"
She walked up to him and smiled. "I bring news to you, Gold."
Fast as lightning, she impaled her claw into Gold's stomach.
Gold's eyes opened wide as she took her blodied hand out and slashed
his chest.
Gold felt cold growing up his spine.
"In case you haven't understood yet, I'll tell you his message: I...
don't... need... you... anymore. Black. P.S. Say hi to..."
She let Gold fall to the floor as she crouched, where her neck had
been mere seconds ago Mask's katana passed almost invisible with it's
speed.
Her tail lashed out and hit Mask in the chest, sending him crashing
into the wall. Undented, he got up and charged again. Swinging down
he managed to graze Coldfire's arm, but the dragon buffeted him with
the wing, which only made him step back, however that was all
Coldfire needed. She uppercuted Mask, and he let go of his sword as
his head went into the ceiling.
Coldfire picked up the sword and threw it into the rails. The sword
flew up and embedded to the hilt in the ground next to the right rail.
Pushing against the ceiling Mask managed to free himself, and, turning
his hands into claws jumped at the dragon.
"Sailor Moon! We have to stop them! They'll tear the place apart!" Ami
yelled.
Usagi nodded, then noticed light coming from the tunnel. Grabbing Ami
she pointed at the tunnel.
Ami paled visibly.
Tokyo, being one of the most populated cities in the world was vibrant
with people all night, morning and day, and, while not many people used
this particular station, the subway is widely used. If it stopped here
who knew how many people would die needlessly?
But they couldn't stop the train, Ami could only hope the driver was
smart enough to go on without stopping.
As soon as he was out of the tunnel the driver noticed the dragon.
Instead of slowing down he pumped up the speed of the train.
He never saw the sword hilt.
The wheel hit the hilt and sparks flew, but the sword didn't break or
give any ground. It worked as an emergency brake. And, with the speed,
the driver's car stopped dead, while the weight of the other cars and
the force of the crash made it turn over in a 360, while the other
cars went out of the railing and crashed against the walls exploding.
Ami's stomach grew cold as she watched the train crash. All the wagons
were engulfed in flames, and they were sliding towards them!
Mars shouted and the Senshi started running, except for Ami, who tried
to pull Gold out of harm's way. Jupiter saw her and ran towards her.
"Ami!! What are you doing?! Leave him!!"
"No!! He doesn't deserve to die like this!"
Jupiter swore and finally helped Mercury drag Gold out of the subway
station.
As soon as they were both out the station was engulfed in fire, there
was no way anybody could've survived that.
Ami quickly knelt besides Gold.
"If he stays like this he'll die." She stated.
"So what do we do? We can't take him with us." Sailor Moon asked.
Jupiter suddenly heard voices from people running their way. "We'd
better move! What do we do?"
Dr. Mizuno sat with Grandfather Hino outside the temple. She sipped
a little of the tea she held.
They suddenly heard a thud inside the temple and ran inside. There
they found the Senshi standing up around the dragon. They turned
towards the door when they heard the cup break.
"Ami!"
Mercury turned around and embraced her mother, breaking into tears.
"I'm sorry mom! I tried..." she gulped and looked at Gold. "We have
to help him..."
At the Tokyo international airport a plane coming from New York
arrived, it's wheels squealing in protest as they touched the
ground.
As the hatch opened and the stewardess smiled and thanked the people
that walk out, a lady in a gray business suit and long dark-green
hair stepped next to it and waited silently as the people passed.
Finally the stewardess smiled at one of the passengers, then looked
at her closer.
"You... you're Michiru Kaiou?"
The passenger smiled and nodded.
The Stewardess took out a small CD with Michiru's picture as she
played the violin. "Could you sign this for me? I'm a big fan of
yours!"
After complying and getting out of the plane with her two
companions Setsuna greeted her.
"Hello, Michiru, Haruka. How are you today Hotaru? I hope you had
a good trip, we have work to do."
