DEVIL MOON
By Donovan Alexander Willett
Ami walked down the halls with a purposeful stride. A small smile
crossed her lips as she noted how she was given a respectful distance by
any who happened to be in the way. <Good.> she thought, <It's good to
see proper respect given.>
It was not long before she was in front of the door she sought.
The door was locked, but the mystical wards on the door accepted her as
being allowed and opened for her. Steeling herself for a possible
confrontation, Ami entered Rei's chambers.
The room was large, but simply adorned. To one side was a small
cooking and dining area, to another was where she slept. Reclining on
the bed was a large man relaxing after what must had been an interesting
session. He looked over and smiled as he swung over his legs and stood
up. "Ah, Lady Mizumo. Lady Hino is in her chamber." he said gesturing
toward the only other door in the room. "She's relaxing after our fun."
By this time he had walked up before her. He had not bothered to
dress, so Ami got a full view of his body. Six foot two, heavily
muscled and well endowed, he was just the type Rei enjoyed when she
wanted simple pleasure.
He noticed her scrutiny and stepped a little closer. "You know,"
he said putting his hand on her waist and letting it drift up until it
cupped her left breast. "She just went in there a little bit ago, and
you know how she likes to stay in there for a few hours. We have plenty
of time to have a little fun ourselves."
Under other circumstances, Ami might have considered the offer.
But she was not in the mood for his type, and she had no time for such
foolishness. Deciding to be as clear as possible to him, she
concentrated and began to create a patch of frost in the one spot he
valued most. As the cold began to take affect, she spoke in a voice as
cold as the frost. "If I wished your attention, I will ask you for it.
And if you ever touch me without my permission, I will freeze you pride
off."
She began walking toward the door to Rei's meditation chamber as
she dropped her concentration on the cold field, and she felt a mild
feeling of satisfaction as she heard him drop to his knees and whimper
softly. As she reached the door, she began to generate a cool mist
around herself in preparation to entering the chamber. The door was
also locked, but like the first door, it was attuned to all five of them
and was rarely completely sealed.
As soon as she opened the door, a wave of heat washed through the
insulating mist. It was for this reason that Ami was the one to come to
Rei, for any of the others might have been turned back by the intense
heat that the chambers held. After a moment, Ami's vision came clear
and she could see inside the chamber. Most of the floor was lava,
quietly bubbling as the heat from the captive volcano turned over the
deadly fluid. In the corners, great columns of flame lit the chamber
like daylight. There were only three sanctuaries from the lava in the
room. To either side of the chamber, against the walls, were small
ledges. The one to the left was bare, but the right one still held the
baked bones of their former plaything, Jadeite.
Ami smiled at them for a second, remembering that Jadeite was fun,
although he resented being brought back from his crystal imprisonment to
be an object of amusement for the Dark Kingdom's newest warriors. While
he had been quite enthusiastic in their bedchambers, they learned that
he had been plotting against them and he found himself stranded on the
ledge. Ami had stayed to observe for the nearly twelve hours it took
for him to die in the nearly 200 degree Ferenhiet heat. It gave her a
bit of deep satisfaction to what the former general plead like a beggar
as he was slowly cooked alive.
Ami roused herself from such thoughts as she began walking along
the stone bridge to the island in the center of the chamber. Rei sat
there in deep meditation as she normally did after sex. And, as usual,
she too had not bother to dress. Ami's eyes scanned over her friend and
she felt mildly aroused. But, she reminded herself that she had no time
of recreational activities. Besides, while their one time had been
quite interesting and enjoyable, she preferred Makoto when she wished to
be with another woman.
"Rei." she called out. Then she called out again louder. But, as
she expected, there was no response. Having been in this situation
before, she knew better than to physically grab the fire queen when she
was meditating, so she reached into her mystical arsenal and called for
a cold mist like the one protecting her. It took some skill and
practice, but the mist maintained in a cloud before her despite the
intense heat before surging out towards Rei.
The effects were immediate as Rei's eyes shot open and Ami noted
the fire in those eyes were not reflections. "This had better be good."
she said in a low voice.
"Sorry to cut off your afterglow, but Beryl wants to see us
immediately."
"What about?"
"I don't make it a habit of asking. I rather value my current
existence."
Rei stared at her for a moment, then nodded. As she stood, the
flames flickered down and the room almost immediately began to return to
it's normal, almost bearable, temperature.
"By the way, Rei, you need to tell your toy to restrain himself, or
he might get hurt."
Rei's eyes narrowed, and she nodded curtly.
When they had returned to her living quarters, they found the toy
getting dressed, gingerly shifting his pants around his groin. Seeing
them, he smiled to Rei. "Lady Hino, how may I be of service." he said
giving her a short bow.
Rei walked up to him sensually. "Rexus," she said in an almost
purr, "I brought you here for my pleasure." With that, her hand, which
had been fondling the front of his shirt, shot down and grabbed the
injured party. "In here, you give pleasure, give, not take, to whoever
I tell you to. You do not take initiative." By this time, Rexus was
only remaining standing because of the iron grip that Rei had. "I am
leaving in a few minutes. If I see you, or anything that is yours in
here then, you will get to spend some time in the chamber. Who knows,
maybe I'll get back before your blood boils."

It had been a year since children had played in the courtyard. It
had been a year since laughter had echoed across playground. But now
the swings hung empty, the apartments surrounding them abandoned. Few
wanted to be in the area where Queen Beryl had first stepped into Tokyo
marking her victory. Nobody wanted to live in buildings where every
last person had been drained of their very life force. The apartments
were a ghost town marking the point when the Dark Kingdom had become the
true power here.
But now there were voices. Three young women stood here in the one
place they believed that nobody would expect them to be.
�Are you sure this will work Pu?� asked the one with short white
hair.
The one she addressed stood up a bit straighter, but still holding
much of her weight on the ornate staff she carried. �As sure as I can
be, considering that this hadn�t been done in nearly eight generations.
I�m just glad Tetsuko and the others before her passed the knowledge.�
The third, a young lady with jade hair who stood holding an arm around
her white haired companion for strength shuddered. �What would make
then that desperate then?�
The dark haired one did not answer, instead that came from a small
white cat near their feet. �The histories don�t say much. That time is
covered in mystery.�
�Mystery? Or are you just hoarding secrets again Artimis.� came a
voice from one of the rooftops. �Like how you never told me about
Sailor Moon and the other Senshi. And I guess it didn�t even cross your
mind to tell me there these three.�
The three Senshi brought there guard up as the cat responded. �I
couldn�t Mina-chan, the time wasn�t�� The answer ended in mid sentence
as an indigo beam struck down from Lady Aino�s hand. Artimis didn�t
even have time to wonder at the shear power of the beam before it had
punched straight through the golden crescent moon on his forehead.
With practiced ease, Lady Aino leapt the two stories from the
rooftop to the ground. Almost immediately, her companions came from
other points surrounding the courtyard. The three Senshi found
themselves looking at each in turn. Each of the five women wore the
uniform of the Dark Kingdom like the Generals whom they had usurped.
Each wore a bauldric which ran from right shoulder to left hip marking
them with the colors they wore before their fall. Behind Lady Tsukino
stood Lord Endymion resplendent in the uniform he had worn a millenium
ago.
After a moment, Lady Tsukino ran her fingers along her white sash.
�Now who might you three be?� she asked.
Pu stood ready with her staff. �I am Sailor Pluto. These are
Sailor Neptune and Uranus. We are here to stop your defilement of the
memories of the Moon Kingdom.�
�What, no Saturn?� asked Lady Hino as stood on the other side of
the circle.
�The three of us are enough!� cried Uranus as she leapt forward
towards Lady Tsukino. As she crossed the space, a nimbus of light
formed in her hands quickly forming into an ornate, jewel encrusted
blade. She swung in down in a attack that would have struck down the
fallen Princess had it connected. Instead it cleaved air as the
intended victim leapt straight up and over the strike.
She never had a chance to recover from the strike as Endymion�s
blade came out the scabbard and in a single practiced motion, separated
her head from her body.
�Haruka!!� screamed Neptune as she watched her decapitated lover
collapse. She charged him herself in blind rage, gathering the energy
strike him down.
�Deep Sub�EEEIAAAGHHH!!!!� she screamed as suddenly tendrils of
electricity sprung from Lady Kino�s hands into her. The tall woman
looked almost sad as she walked over to the convulsing form, lightning
still coursing from her hands.
Pluto stood in shock after watching the other two Senshi quickly
die. Finally she was got herself together and began to do her own
attack, but suddenly shuddered. Her breath suddenly was caught in her
throat as she tried to act.
�Having problems?� asked Lady Mizumo as she opened her eyes.
�Can�t act when the very blood within you freezes.�
With some effort, Pluto turned to look at her in terror as her body
began to shiver uncontrollably. �I could freeze you solid, and break
you like a piece of glass. But I will not do that. Lady Hino looks
bored.�
Pluto wasn�t even able to scream as crimson fires suddenly
enveloped her body.
In a moment, the only sound were the dying flickers of flame from
her body. �That�s it?� asked Lady Aino as they surveyed the
destruction. �Mistress Nine and her cronies put up a stronger fight
than this.�
Tsukino smiled. �I think they still believed we were the same
weaklings we were before Kunzite �recruited� us. Now only Luna
remains. And we�ll find her soon.�
