�So why are we still handing around here.  Let�s go kick some daemon
ass.� A short innocent looking girl with blue announced.  Normal this
would have caused looks of scrutiny and surprise from the blue haired
girl�s four female companions but recently they had learned to expect
this sort of language from the girl.

�We have to finish the fight,� said one of the blue haired girl�s
companions as all five girls looked toward a ruined high rise in the
distance.

�To save Chibi-Usa,� replied another.

�And to save Hotaru� added the one beside her.

�We are the Sailor Soldiers of love and justice� proclaim the tallest of
the group.

�Everyone� prompted what appears to be the leader of the group as she
whirled around to face the others.  A leader for all appearances to be a
teenage girl with twin odangos of blonde hair held in two tight buns on
each side of her head.

Knowing exactly what their leader had in mind, three of the four girls
knobbed and raised their right hand into the air with their fingers
spread.

�Mars star power.� shouted the girl with long hair that is dark as
night.

�Jupiter star power.� shouted the tallest.

�Venus star power.� shouted a blonde woman with straight hair down to
her waist.

�Moon cosmic power.� shouted the lead as she opened a heart shaped
compact to reveal a similarly shaped crystal.

�Make Up!� the four shouted simultaneously. 

In a flash of blind light that obscured intricate choreography, four
soldiers of love and justice replaced the four school girls that was
their previously.  Standing on the broken high way looking utterly
ridiculous in their parody of a schoolgirl�s uniforms the four soldiers
stared at the only one among them that had not transformed.  That is
ridiculous from the perspective of the blue haired girl that is now
receiving the attention of the transformed teenagers.

�No way are ya gonna get me in that outfit again.� said the blue haired
girl as she leaped on to one of the light posts then on to the next
light post heading in the general direction of the ruined high rise.

Following the lead of the blue haired girl, the others also started
their short journey toward what was once Mugan academy.  As they
approached what was once the premier institution of education in Japan,
leaving clouds of duck in their wake, Mars gasped and suddenly stopped.
The pause of that one girl in turn caused the others to stop as well and
look toward their companion.

�Mars� asked the Sailor Moon out of concern.

�I suddenly felt dark energy.� stated Mars.  As if on cue a black
translucent shell of energy erected over their intended destination.

�Come on.� urged the girl standing the lamppost, somewhat egger for the
upcoming battle.  Resuming their dash for headquarters of the Death
Busters, the anxiety of the other four girls rose but they remained
unwavering in their mission to save their friends and the prevention of
the Silence.  At last the girls reached the source of the evil that had
been terrorizing Tokyo.  Out of habit, the four magic girls looked
toward what were the brains of their group to bypass the force field.
The blue haired girl, once known as Mizuno Ami or Ami-chen to the
others, looked back at them and shrugged.  �What are ya looking at me
for?� replied the blue haired girl.

Without warning the doors and windows of Mugan academy bursts open and
outpours a river purple fluid, which takes on human form when it touches
the ground.  Unlike their counterparts these monster had no trouble
passing though the barrier and immediately went to work on the Sailors.
Falling like rain from the sky the purple creature�s first wave was able
to knock the Sailors off their feet.  Acting to defend themselves the
Sailors released their attacks.  Jupiter was the first to destroy the
dozens of creatures near her with a Sparkling Wide Pressure.

�Crescent Beam.� Venus blasted the monsters closest to her.

�Burning Mandala.� intoned Mars as she extended her right hand toward
the monsters and shot forth rings of fire.

�Mouko Takabisha� shouted the blue haired girl in mid air as she able to
avoid the raining daemon�s initial assault with a leap into the air.
Even before the blue haired girl finish the focus phrase for her attack
a ball of blue light have already gathered in her palm.  With practiced
ease the girl, send the ball of ki toward the river daemons then using
the recoil force of the blast to propel her further from the trajectory
of the daemons� attack.  The ki blast flew from the palm of the girl and
into middle of the daemon army and instantly vaporized those too close
to the blast radius leaving a smoking a hole on the street which were
instantly covered by the second wave of daemons that replaced those who
were destroyed.

The battle raged on as senshi and martial artist unloading attack after
attack on the ranks of the enemy but with no visible result.  For every
daemon their attacks destroyed, two others emerged from pool of purple
liquid to replace its banished comrade.  �There�s too many.� Commented
the blue hair martial artist as he released another blast of ki.

�We can�t stop.� Replied Jupiter her released a blast of her own.

�We have to save Chibi-Usa.� Added Mars as she once again used her
Burning Mandala attack to destroyed a squad of daemons but this time it
also stopped the attacking daemons from going after Sailor Moon, who
some how managed to trip during the battle.  Final with Mars holding off
the daemons� advances, the leader of the Sailor Soldiers magically
retrieved her specter and prepared her attack.

�Moon Spiral Heart Attack.� Sailor Moon released an enormous blast of
energy that banishes all daemons from the battlefield.  Alas, their
efforts were futile as quickly Sailor Moon�s attack cleared the
battlefield a second wave of daemon is already forming in front of the
herons.  As the second wave of daemons shit the ground and take on
humanoid form the Sailors knew that they had to come up with something
soon or the Silence will cover the world.  However, literal for the life
of them the herons were unable to come up with a single way to get
though the barrier.

�It�s no use.� voiced Jupiter as she looked toward the forming horde of
daemons.

�What can we do?� asked Sailor Moon in response.

�I wonder how deep that barrier goes.� asked the blue haired girl to no
one in particular.  The question was just the blue haired girl thinking
aloud; not expecting her musing to be answered the girl was surprised
when the others look toward her.

�Let�s find out.� said Jupiter as she readied another electrical attack.
�Sparkling Wide Pressure� shouted Jupiter as she again extended her hand
to deliver her attack.  Unlike the previous times that Jupiter used her
attack, the ball of electricity was not intended for the hordes of
daemons but rather the ground immediately in front the Sailors.  When
the ball of electrons impacted with the ground, a hole was blown though
the street revealing a utility shaft underneath.  The girls first
looking at the hole in the ground then at each other, they knobbed with
the understanding that will have to craw among power lines, rat and
other vermin in order the by pass the barrier.

�Fire Sole.� Mars guided her attack in a wide ark as she destroyed the
closest daemons that now surrounded them.  Looking up from the hole the
other girls now found that the daemons had surrounded them in every
direction while they were preparing themselves for their repulsive task.

�Mouko Takabisha� shouted the blue haired martial artist as she cleared
a line of daemons with a ki blast.

�Moon Spiral Heart Attack.� Sailor Moon once again destroyed an army of
daemons in a wide perimeter.  Not wasting any time and allow the daemons
to regroup the blue haired girl dashed toward the hole even as Sailor
Moon was finishing her attack.  Suddenly she stopped when she heard the
scream of the girl that she came to know as Usagi, alias Sailor Moon.

The sudden screams of their leader stopped the first of the Sailors from
jumping into the hole that Jupiter had created.  Turning around they saw
and hand coming out of a hole in space had a firm grip on Sailor Moon�s
neck.  Quickly rushing to Sailor Moon�s rescue, three Sailor Soldier and
martial artist tried to pull Sailor Moon back from the hole to no avail.
Even with the blue haired girl�s ki enhanced strength and the other�s
magically endowed powers they watched helplessly as Sailor Moon continue
to slipped from their fingers and into the hole.  There efforts became
completely wasted however as the regrouping daemons chose that moment to
attack.  Rushing toward the girls in a pool of purple liquid the daemons
didn�t stop until they soaked the feet of the girls in there liquid
body.  Coiling up the girls� legs then wrapping themselves around the
girls the daemons sacrificed themselves to release a charge of purple
electricity, which had the effect of shocking the girls into releasing
their leader.

The sailors and martial artist was blown outwards from their position by
the electrical shock.  They landed on their behinds a few feat away and
watched in horror as the hand pulled Sailor Moon completely though the
hole in the air.  �They have her.� stated Mars in shock as she watched
the hole in which Sailor Moon had disappear to closed.  All the while,
the others can only look on with both fear and sadness in their eyes as
they each worried for their captured leader.

Acting on orders from the mistress the daemons receded into the rubble
with their task accomplished.  In a few moments, they disappeared from
the street all together.  Retreating further from the Sailors the purple
liquid flowed upwards from the barrier, completely covering it and
reinforcing it.  Standing on top of each other like statues of purple
gelatin the daemons readied themselves for any attempts to breach their
stronghold.

In the sky to the far right of the Sailor�s, a helicopter approaches.
On board the helicopter are the three outer senshi: Sailors Neptune,
Uranus and Pluto.  Their intensions were not that different from the
other senshi on the ground.  The outers did intend to prevent the
Silence but there methods they intend to employ are drastically
different.  To them saving the world was more important than death of a
single innocent.  Perhaps they were right, perhaps the sacrifice of
little Hotaru was required this day.  Perhaps the only way to avoid the
Silence is with a single cowardly act.  Moreover, who is to say that
they were wrong?  It is far better to be hunted by a guilty conscience
than to know that they acted honorably but dead along with the rest of
humanity.

Besides the innocent little girl, Hotaru was in fact Sailor Saturn the
Sailor Senshi of Destruction.  In the minds of the outer senshi Sailor
Saturn was every bit as dangerous as the Silence.  With her final attack
Sailor Saturn have the power to destroy the world.  If some how they
manage to derail the Silence only to have Hotaru awaken as Sailor Saturn
then all their efforts were in vane.  For once Sailor Saturn awakens her
only mission is the destruction of the world.  Therefore, what can they
do�?

As the helicopter gets closer to the occupant�s former place of
education the pilot, Sailor Uranus notices the barrier around their
destination.  �What�s that?� she asked her two companions.

�That�s no simple barrier.� stated Sailor Neptune who sat beside the
pilot.

�I wonder if we could get though that hole?� Sailor Uranus referred to a
star shaped opening on the barrier.  A hole intended for the beacon to
call forth Master Pharaoh 90, the master of the Death Busters and the
source of the Silence.  The hole was a blatant flow in the fortress�s
defenses and an irresistible target for those that intend to intrude.
This fact did not escape the current leader of the Death Busters,
Mistress 9, and was probably set up with a secondary purpose of being a
trap.

Unlike Mistress 9, the outer senshi either did not have suspicions of
their intended route of entry as a trap or ignored their suspicions all
together.  In any case, the outer senshi showed no external signs of
fear as their helicopter flew toward the barrier.  They were certainly
surprised, however, when the daemons that surrounded the barrier leaped
from there position and started tearing apart the helicopter.  In the
blank of an eye, the daemons wrapped themselves on the helicopter then
started to emit a wave of electricity, electrocuting the helicopter�s
occupants and destroying its equipment.  Mere moments after the attack
begin the helicopter went up in a ball of fire.

On the ground the inner senshi and one martial artist had not yet
recovered from the shock of loosing their leader then they watched the
explosion of a helicopter over head.  Looking at the blinding explosion
in the sky then at small maintenance tunnel the blue haired girl came to
a decision.  Before the others could react the blue haired girl made a
made dash toward the barrier.

�Don�t do it Ranma.� Yelled Venus in an attempt to dissuade the blue
haired girl from both bodily harm and doing what Venus knew she had in
mind.

�Great as if one apocalypse is not enough.� Commented Mars as she stared
at the Ranma�s retreating back.

�What are we going to do now?� asked Venus.

�The only thing we could do� Keep those daemons off her back.� replied
Jupiter without looking back at the other Sailors.

�We�re running out of time.� thought Ranma as he made his way toward the
barrier.  �If we can�t stop �em I�ll never see Akane again.� Looking
deep within Mercury�s mind Ranma searched for the only thing that he
knew for sure that could breach the barrier.  With substantial
concentration, Ranma's mental search yielded what he had wanted.  �I
just hope I wouldn�t loose control like last time.� Ranma thought
grimly.

Running in range of the barrier Ranma�s approach triggered daemon�s
defenses.  Leaping into Ranma intending to destroy him as they destroyed
helicopter, the daemons attacked.  Seeing the descending daemons Ranma
readied his ki blast but before he could act, a chain of hearts coming
from behind him had already dispelled the incoming daemons.  Not even
turning to acknowledge his defender, Ranma continued his mad dash toward
the barrier.  When a second wave of attacks came from the daemons, Ranma
did not even avoid them or ready an attack.  This time, rings of fire
from Mars� Burning Mandala vaporized Ranma�s assailants.  As Ranma came
closer to his destination, the daemons doubled their efforts to deter
him.  In the next wave the number of attacking daemons doubled, this
time it took Crescent Beam, Burning Mandala and Sparkling Wide Pressure
to destroy the attackers.

Final Ranma was in position for what he had in mind.  Seeing that the
other girls is now in defensive position around him, Ranma began his
chant.

�Lord of the Darkness and Four Worlds,� a mysterious wind blows though
the air.  Ranma frowns in concentration.

�I beseech thy fragments,� the mysterious wind picks up strength, freely
blowing the hair of the girls.  Already the stress of casting the spell
is tempting Ranma to about, not really a good idea because he does not
know how to do that safely.

�by all of the power thou possesseth, grant the heavens' wrath to my
hand,� the area around the girls darken and black energy begins to
gather in Ranma�s hand.  Ranma wants to scream aloud as the headache
from the intense focus and stress.

�unleash the sword of dark, freezing nothingness,� the power in Ranma�s
hand continues to gather.  Ranma ignores the pain in his head as it
becomes blinding, he proceeds toward the next phase in the spell knowing
that stopping know will have dire consequences.  

�by our power, our combined might, let us walk as one along the path of
destruction:� the energy in Ranma�s hand becomes critical.  He feels his
body go numb as he realizes he is loosing consciousness.

�LAGUNA BLADE!� with the final phase a blade of black energy appears
between in Ranma�s hand as he blacks out.

T.B.C. pending�


Author�s Notes:  This came to me as a read another story with similar
premise but it was moving too slow for my taste.  So, what do you thank
of it so far.  Is a tasteless? Unoriginal?  Uninspired?  And dare I say
it �has potential�?  What ever it is C&C is begged for.  Sent it to
ffml_use@hotmail.com.

P.S. I�m looking for pre-readers if anyone is interested.
