Dark Desires: Okay here’s my Sailor moon (Yes Chibi-usa is the main character but you will be surprised keep reading.) and Ranma 1/2 Fan fiction:

The nigh is black and starless. A cold wind fills the air, a malicious essence that hovers beneath the haunted sky. The Cat Cafe sits alone and un-protected, as if it is awaiting some unholy phantom to de-send upon it. Beyond the massive walls, and narrow halls. Hidden from the restaurants kitchen and dinning area. The area sprinkled with the scent off Ramon noodles and numerous other goodies. Beyond all this sat a simple and well furnished apartment. Which at the moment housed the caregivers. An amazon goddess and her great grandmother, a dried up old hag, who liked to dabble in the darker side of the magic arts.

Inside the apartment’s tiny walls; in her chambers, the child slept bundled underneath a pile of cozy blankets. In the next room, the old women trapped within the contours of her nightmare thrashed back and forth between reality and fantasy. She cries out, her acute fear mixing with trances of pleasure. With a start, the old women opens her eyes, the dream still lingers and her room seems to be filled with shadows, threatening to pull her back into the haunted recess of her own tormented mind. She closes her eyes and shakes her head, as if to shake the ‘pretend’ demons away. She opens her eyes again, the malicious spirits, now unseen still linger all around. Although she is aware of their presence, the old women is no longer frightened. She pulls the remaining blankets off of her decaying body. Shaking, she slides onto the floor and then stands. Her legs wobble at first, refusing to leg go off her fading fear, she feels them nearly give away from underneath her. The old women lets out a shaky breath and forces herself to take a step towards the waiting phantasms. She takes another step and another, soon her old confidence was renewed and with an over abundance of pride she walks out of the room and into a darkened hallway.

Careful not to disturb the girl inside, Cologne opened Shampoo’s bedroom door and peers inside. Her beautiful great-granddaughter was deep in her dreams. Just as carefully she shut the door and continued down the hall towards her laboratory. It is in here, that she plans to stop the earlier visions that plagued her darkest nightmares. No matter what the cost, no matter what she must suffer, Shampoo would get her wish. Cologne extracted the tiny silver key from the right pocket of her nightshirt, she admires the key, caresses it with her withering hand. After a moment’s hesitation she puts it into the rusted lock and turns it until the familiar click sounds. With her left hand she turns the knob on the door and it creaks open. The laboratory is cast in aerie darkness and Cologne steps across it’s threshold, for the first time since her nightmare she feels at peace.

* * *

Far away in another time and place another girl lays sleeping, or so it seems. This beauty with long pink hair that streams down to her waist, waits for the others to leave the room. She had faked the dizziness and then the fainting spell. Now as her parents, and many of her friends stand guard, peering at her from above with concern as she fakes sleep.

Please leave, she silently prays. Though the young princess was grateful for their love and concern. Although she knows that they only wanted what was best for her, she felt smothered. She is nearly seventeen years old, yet still they treated her like a child. A child who had no will of her own or a heart for that matter. Who had no right to choose who she would marry. A silent sob threatens to escape her and Chibi-usa had to do everything in her power to prevent it from escaping. At last she hears her dear friend, Hotaru say that they should leave.

Yes, she hopes. Please be gone, please leave so I can. It had been nearly 24 hours since they had found out about her secret, Nearly 48 hours since she had seen him. Her prince, her true love, Hellios, not that blubbering idiot Peru. Chibi-usa shakes her head sadly, oh, what a fool she had been. Thinking in that vain way that she would forget him, forget Hellios. That she could replace him with Peru, a sweet boy in his own right. But that was just it no one could replace Hellios. Since he haunted her, every night in her dreams, he came to her, at first as only Pegus, and then later as his ‘human’ form since Pegus could not and would not appear to adults. Chibi-usa had thought that she would never see Hellios in the flesh again. That was until six months ago when she had been wondering tirelessly through the gate of time, and had come to a portal that had seemed familiar but wasn’t. So she crossed it and stepped out of her time, the 31st century and backing to the 21st century, right into Hellios domain, it had to be fate, for she hadn’t seen him in nearly six years. Now, now she was betrothed to someone else.

It felt unreal to her some how, that her parents would agree to Peru’s proposal without even consulting Chibi-usa. True she had been seeing Peru off and on sense she met him. She did hold a special place for him in her heart, you could even say that she loved him. But She did not love him like she loved Hellios.

Silent tears stream down her face, as the irony of her situation sinks in. She had been waiting so long, for a lifetime it felt. Endlessly, she waited for him to return to her just as he promised, but he hadn’t and Chibi-usa had given up all hope. Then without even knowing it she had stumbled upon him, and everything was great until tonight.

At last the door shuts behind the worried crew as her family and friends left her room and ventured out into the hall. Outside her door, she could hear Peru asking if she was alright, as if he really cared about her. There was a reason their relationship had it’s ups and downs. Her betrothed’s well known ‘friendship’ with Ves Ves was just one of them. Yes Chibi-usa was very aware of her future husbands relationship with one of her supposed guardians. But his betrayal did not phase her, she didn’t care. Let Ves Ves have him. As far as she was concerned she was better off without him and better with Hellios.

In silent agony she waited, five, ten minutes until she was certain even Peru and Ves Ves had left. She quickly got out of bed and walked quietly to her large wooden walk in closet, she pulled open the oak doors causing them to creak, rudely announcing to the worlds that she was in fact awake.

Chibi-usa pauses in mid step, awaiting the senshi’s arrival and the scolding that would pursue. But no one came running into her room demanding answers. Yet in her mind she could see Mercury her mouth pulled into a harsh scroll, the endless assault of words dulling her senses. The imaginary Mercury morphs into Usagi and then continues to mock Chibi-usa in her mind, reminding her that by using the time gate, and therefore manipulating time for her own selfish, petty reasons, she was putting them all in danger. Since when is love a Petty reason, she almost screams. In horror Chibi-usa clasps a slender hand over her mouth.

Another wave of disappear washes over her, as the phantom Mercury Moon and other angry senshi disappear. Deep down she knows that the others where right, she is opening up time to any dark entity that was waiting somewhere in the shadows. But since Sailor Galixa and Chaos were defeated, no other enemy had come forward and that was years ago. So what was the harm if she spent time in another dimension with the man she loved. Her parents had only shook their heads at her reasoning and then announced that she would marry Peru, end of discussion. End of discussion, are they freaking kidding! That was like telling her mom, to forget all about her dad, and marry Seiya instead. A small smile sat misplaced on her lips at the thought of the Sailor Star that had tried to woo Usagi during the sailor senshi’s last battle.Yet even this amusement did little to perk Chibi-usa’s mood. She had to see Helios, that was the only thing that would cheer her up.

Frantic with longing, she begins rummaging through her closet until the perfect dress catches her eyes. It was a simple short, very short, blue dress, with tiny silver beading that ran across the bodice. That Para Para (Palla Palla) gave to her for her up coming seventeenth birthday.

Chibi-usa clumsily takes it out of the closet and off the hanger, which falls to the hard wooden floor with a harshly loud clink. She closes her eyes once again expecting someone to come bargaining in, anyone, but no one had heard. Chibi-usa quickly strips and pulls on the dress, and then walks over to the full length mirror. She takes a deep breath and peers at her reflection, a scrawl of disgust falls across her lips. Although, she looks stunning in the shimmering gown Chibi-usa see’s nothing more then a almost grown up girl trying to appear older.

She turns from the mirror and walks to her window, she pulls it open and is about to descend to the grass below when she realizes she isn’t wearing shoes. Annoyed at herself for being so stupid, she races back to her closet and pulled out a pair of blue pumps then slips them on. Quickly she makes her way back to the opened window and then climbs onto the windowsill, without thinking twice she jumps and falls onto the soft grass below. The air crisp and cool on her bare arms and legs, causes Chibi-usa to shiver, and wish she had grabbed a jacket. Slowly she starts to make her way across the grass and towards the time portal, she bites her lip praying Pluto wouldn’t’ be guarding the entrance. If she was caught manipulating time again Chibi-usa knows the consequences would be harsh. From behind her, she hears footsteps and distant voices that were growing closer. Frantic from the prospect of getting caught and almost sick with desire to see Hellios, she runs the rest of the way to the time gate, slipping twice. The time gate loomed in front of her, like a beautiful vision. With a shaking hand, she removes the delicate chain from around her neck and placed the small silver key (which hung from it) into the door of the gate. Magically the gate swung forward, and Chibi-usa held her breath in silent prayer. She steps inside just as Peru and the Amazon Quartette walk by on their way to the white moon circus, that the Amazon’s insist on putting on. The only part of their ‘evil’ lives that they missed was the circus, and so every Saturday night was circus night. Chibi-usa had once dreamed off staring with Hellios at the circus. Dressed in one of the Amazon’s costumes, standing bravely on the back of the white yet golden winged horse. Yet even before her parents and the other senshi had forbidden her to use the time gate, and therefore forbidden her to see Hellios. Chibi-usa knew that her dream would never come true, for the childlike wonder of Hellios had not appeared to Chibi-usa since she was a child. And although she knew that he loved her and would do anything for her, Hellios just shook his head sadly when she requested to see Pegus again. It was impossible, yet still a part of Chibi-usa still yearned to see him. To be that little girl, who had the freedom and will to love who she wanted, and to use the cheery-way, and therefore the time gate anytime she needed. Now that was not the case, for the first time in the last seventeen years Chibi-usa realized just what it meant to grow up.

Her eyes wet with tears, she turns away from Peru and her child like friends, envious and hateful off them at the same time. A sordid phantom of emotions still tunnel through her, as she began to walk along the time portals, carefully not to lose her way. Half way to the proper door, where she knew Hellios waited beyond, she begins to run, her desire taking control once again. With no sight of Pluto she reached the door. She pulled the door open and steeped though time, eager to meet her prince.

Just after Chibi-usa slipped into Hellios domain Pluto steps out of her hiding place. Pluto shakes her head sadly. News of the princess betrothal had reached her, even here in these lonely realms of solitary wondering thought time. She had known about Chibi-usa’s little secret even before the girl herself had come clean to Neo Queen Serenity (Usagi/Serena) and King Endymion (Darien). For the last six months, although Pluto knew the dangers of Chibi-usa manipulating time, she had kept quiet until the King and Queen had come to her themselves, and asked for help. As much as she wanted the princesses happiness, she could not, no, would not deny her King and Queen. Even if she thought of Chibi-usa like a sister, maybe even as the daughter she would never have, it hurt deeply to know the pain she would be responsible for inflicting on the poor child, when Pluto herself reveled that Chibi-usa was disobeying orders. Two silver tears slid across her face, but she does not bother to wipe them. She turns from the door Chibi-usa had just entered, and headed towards the gate, to the entrance to Crystal Toyko, (the heart of the white moon kingdom) to the King and Queen, to the ultimate betrayal that she is about to bestow on the girl she thinks off as a daughter.

Hotaru waits in the shadows off the time gate, she watches in apprehension as Pluto slips out of the gate and hurries towards the palace. Unable to shake the sense of forbidding that had forced her to stand beneath Chibi-usa’s bedroom window, in the shadows, basically spying on her childhood friend. She had stood in those very shadows as Chibi-usa had jumped from her bedroom window and then hurried off into the direction of the time gate. Hotaru didn’t really have to follow Chibi-usa to know where she was going, just like Pluto she knew off her best friends secret, and had known from day one, being the only one Chibi-usa had confided in. Chibi-usa’s secret had been the only thing she ever hid from Uranus and Neptune, no she thought of them more as momma and poppa even after all these years. Yet she would not deny the relief she had felt when Chibi-usa had announced to the world that she would not marry Peru because she was in love with Hellios. At first the others didn’t understand what she meant. The king had tried to explain to Chibi-usa that she could not live her life in a dream world. That she could not refuse to marry Peru just because she was still holding onto the childish notion that Pegus would return to her. Then Chibi-usa had told them that she was actually with Hellios and they had exploded. Hotaru had never seen the King or Queen so mad, so completely disappointed in their daughter. But in all honesty was it wrong to love someone so much that you would defy time and space to be with them. As far as Hotaru was concerned it was all kind of romantic. That was until Uranus and Neptune started talking all cryptically about the sea and wind feeling things, or something strange like that. Then this morning minutes before Chibi-usa came clean, they told Hotaru that they had to leave, and that she should keep a close eye on Chibi-usa. Ever since then, Hotaru couldn’t’ shake the feeling that her friend was in real danger, and not just the broke heart kind.

Trying her best to shake away these negative feelings Hotaru transforms into Sailor Saturn and then slips soundlessly into the time portal.

* * *

Cologne peered into the sliver of glass she held in her hand, threw some kind of unknown magic bestowed upon Cologne by the clocked figure that came to her in her dreams. She could see Chibi-usa, and also like Pluto had been watching the un-suspecting couple. Yes, she thought this girl, this princess from far away was the answer. The ancient one in her horrid dreams had spoken to her of this princess. Had made it quite clear how much he wanted her, needed another version of her. Then he had shown Cologne exactly what would happen if she didn’t get this mysterious girl.

Cologne wasn’t one for such trickery and wasn’t often outsmarted. She was a strong proud Amazon, who didn’t take orders from anyone. But ever since the ancient one had reveled itself to Cologne in a vision six months ago, Cologne had begun to know fear. This evil entity through it’s Hench man, the cloaked one, had shown Cologne many things. Such horrid things, that it would do to the people of Nermaia, if she did not obey. Cologne could care less about the pathetic people that lived in this remote part of Japan, however, one of these people that the ancient one promised to harm was Shampoo, and Cologne would not allow that. So in the context of her nightmare earlier this evening she had made a unholy deal, a trade you could say, to get Shampoo what she wanted, Ranma. And in doing so she would be part of what destroyed this mysterious pink haired beauty that the ancient one seemed to fear so much. That the cloaked one wanted so much. This however, also didn’t’ bother Cologne, she didn’t care what she had to do, just as long as son in law was Shampoo’s.

Cologne leaned in closer to the glass as the enchanting boy in the picture approached the girl, a mixture of hatred and love filled his gaze, this could be interesting she thought to herself.

* * *

Hellios rushed to her, his face pale with fright, his usually clear eyes void of color, haunted by sorrow. He seized Chibi-usa, as soon as he reached her, pulling her into his embrace, but it wasn’t warm like usual.

“Is it true,” he demanded, his voice as cold as ice couldn’t mask the betrayal he felt.

Chibi-usa looked at the ground, unable to find the words she so desperately needed. Hellios pulled away from her, his eyes turned cold, and something that resembled hatred entered his gaze. “Tell me,” he begs. “Tell me it’s not true.”

“I can’t,” Chibi-usa whispers defeated.

Hellios backs away from her, tears glisten in his eyes and melts across his haunted visage, staining his handsome features with her treachery. He shakes his head in disbelief, as if doing so would make the truth disappear.

“No,” he whispered. “It can’t be true, it can’t be…”

He looks at Chibi-usa, agony mixing with love and devotion shines in his haunted eyes.

“How could you,” he screams. “How could you do this to me!”

“I…I,” Chibi-usa begins.

“No don’t bother, I don’t wanna hear your lies, ” Hellios cried, cutting her off. “I thought I … I knew you. Thought you loved me.”

Tears she had held in all night finally fall from Chibi-usa’s eyes, until she is blinded by them, then the grief she felt at her parent’s decision and now at Heillios’s misunderstanding overwhelms her. She drops to the ground, sobbing uncontrollably. “I didn’t’ want this.”

Hellios looks at her, hope threads itself into his mind. “Really?”

Chibi-usa nods, unable to find anymore words. What could she say to him anyways. Even though she didn’t want it, even though she would do anything to reverse her parents decision she was still going to marry another man. How could she blame Hellios for reacting this way, it would be a miracle if he didn’t’ hate her.

Hellios closes his eyes, willing this whole mess to go away, but when he re-opened them, there she was his love, still crumbled on the floor of his palace trembling with fear and horror. At that instant he realized she was telling the truth. He wiped at the remaining tears slipping from his eyes and walking over to her. He knelt beside her, and took her into his arms, this time his embrace was warm.

Chibi-usa looks up at him in shock, she tries to pull away but he won’t let her go. Gently he kisses the top of her forehead with a trembling hand he wipes away her tears, “shhhhh,” he coxes. “It will be alright.”

“No, it won’t,” she sobs. “It will never be alright.”

At her conviction tears once again fill her eyes and slide down his haunted visage. He holds her tightly in his arms, as her sobs slow down and threaten to stop all together.

“We’ll find away, we’ll stop it.”

Chibi-usa looks up at him, hope shines in her wet eyes. She clears her throat and prays the words she so desperately needs to say will come out. She opens her delicate, trembling mouth, “I love you.”

At her words new tears, that Hellios never knew he had fall. He holds her tighter as a crazy idea forms in his mind. He doesn’t’ want to disrespect the King or Queen but this maybe the only way. Ah, it’s didn’t matter anyway, he no longer cared about anything else no one but Chibi-usa mattered. He would give it all up for her. He looks at her, his heart beating, as memories of their first meeting years ago flood his mind. He kisses her forehead again, and pulls her even closer. There’s no way I’m letting you go he thought. “Don’t marry him,” he heard himself say, his voice amazingly steady.

Chibi-usa looks up at him she wants to desperately agree with him, wanted so desperately to just stay here in his arms but what he suggested was impossible it was her duty as a princess and she couldn’t disobey her parents. Could she? No, she couldn’t’ unless… A crazy idea forms in her mind, one last thread of hope pierces her broken heart. But how to voice it, she wonders, how do I ask him something like that, it was impossible, she just couldn’t’. The hope faded and her heart sank lower.

“Marry me,” Hellios said bravely, his voice thick with fear.

Chibi-usa stares at him with disbelieve how did he know what she was thinking, how did he know. Was it possible? Yes, her mind screamed. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, but she couldn’t’ bring herself to say it. She sat there silently in her arms praying he would read her mind like he always did.

Why isn’t she answering me? Hellios wondered. Why hasn’t she said yes? Doesn’t she want to be with me? Doesn’t’ she love me? She says she does…but…

Chibi-usa’s voice is tiny, barely a whisper but at least she has found it, “Yes,” she somehow manges. “Yes, I’ll marry you.”

He kisses her again but not on her forehead as he previously done. This time his lips brush against hers and both their hearts excoriate, until it seems as if they are one. Slowly their bodies begin to sway, until they are dancing beneath the moonlight, a soft irrey sound fills the air, a musical note that is vaguely familiar to Chibi-usa. Then suddenly she recognizes it, the doorway to this dimension, Hellios dimension has been opened. The couple disengages and spins towards the doorway just as Sailor Saturn enters.

* * *

A wicked smile forms on the crone’s lips, this she thought to herself is perfect. She had wondered about how she was going to bring forth the dark goddess, which lingered deep within the girl’s soul. Now, she knew. she had work to do. Once again she looks into the glass, but this time instead of commanding an image. She commands transportation. The glass starts to shimmer, a mystic glow that fills the entire piece but soon begins to fill the room. Cologne drops the panel off glass and it shatters. In it’s place a black swirl of energy appears, at first it appears to be no larger then a dime, but increasingly it begins to grow. Until it is large enough for Cologne to step through. Glancing once in the direction of Shampoo’s room, she takes a deep breath and then steps through the portal of black energy.

* * *

“Saturn,” Chibi-usa gasps.

Sailor Saturn ignores her friends outcry and walks over to them. “Your in danger.”

Hellios steps before Chibi-usa shielding her not from Saturn but the prospect off harm.

” Chibi-usa,” A stern voice calls from the doorway. The three of them spin around to see Sailor Pluto, Sailor Moon, and Tuxedo mask in the doorway. Seconds later the rest of the inner senshi cram into the doorway. Mars ‘accidentally’ collides with Moon, sending the pigtailed beauty to fall to the ground. Sailor Moon gets to her feet and glares wickedly at Mars, who proceeds to stick out her tongue, Moon gladly returns the favor. The other senshi ignore their antics.

Hellios steps away from Saturn and Chibi-usa, and walks towards the Sailor Senshi. “I can assure you that Chibi-usa is in no danger from me.”

Sailor Mercury pushes her way forward from behind the still squabbling Moon and Mars. She looks down at her computer, and pushes some buttons. “Well actually Chibi-usa’s use of the time portals has put her in grave danger, which means you have indirectly put her in danger.”

Chibi-usa walks over to Hellios and takes his hand. She looks up at him and gives him a sly smile before turning back to the Senshi. Her eyes dance upon each other them until they fall onto Tuxedo Mask. “You gave me no choice.”

Tuxedo Mask walks towards them, “That doesn’t matter right now, we need for you to come with us. The time gate is not the ideal place to protect you.”

Chibi-usa looks over at her friends and then back over at Hellios. As if reading her mind, Saturn steps over and puts her hand on her friends shoulders. “Pluto and I will stay with Hellios, but we think that you are putting him more danger by being here. ”

Venus steps forward and stands in front of Chibi-usa “Now we must hurry princess. ”

Chibi-usa nods and reluctantly walks towards the door. Suddenly clouds of blackness fall across the sky. Thunder booms and dark streaks of lighting crash down from the heavens.The air is filled with a heaviness that is very unnatural, a buzzing sound follows the thunder, as funnels of black energy insult the rough contours of the grounds surface, shapes begins to form. The Sailor Senshi fall into a tight circle surrounding Chibi-usa and Hellios.

Two shapes metabolize in these dark funnels, One is Cologne, and the Sailor Senshi regard her with a wary, yet detached type of curiosity. She looks over at them pleading. To show her ‘helplessness’ she takes two shaky steps and then collapses to the ground. The Sailor Senshi shoot her worried glances. Sailor Moon breaks from the circle and approaches the women.

“Child…you…must…help…” Cologne whispers.

Sailor Jupiter rush’s over to help Sailor Moon, half carry, half drag the old women to the middle of the circle. Gently they lower her to the ground. She struggles to a sitting position and then pulls herself completely up. Her legs begin to shake and she makes a pitiful, mewing like sound before collapsing again. Chibi-usa who stands just to the right off her catches Cologne before she goes fully down. The old women greedily latches onto her. Chibi-usa stands motionless for a moment, looking for confirmation from the others. Knowing that without transforming she would be useless to all of them. Making a quick decision, not waiting for confirmation she gently pushed Cologne towards the entrance to the time portals. Just as the second shape takes place.

The Sailor Senshi stand motionless, their moths gaped open in shock. As the Wise men steps from within the swirling darkness. He nods at them in greeting as if he was embracing a long lost friend. His skeleton’s face twisted by a malicious grin, enhances his ‘beauty’.

Sailor Moon frightened gaze dances between the Wise man, Chibi-usa and Tuxedo mask.

Sailor Mars closes her eyes, and concentrates on the Wise man, “Fire soul,” she cries. Arrows of flame fly from her outstretched hands and rush towards the Wise man. With a wave off his hand, he dismisses her attack.

Stepping in from just beyond the doorway, Uranus and Neptune enter the dimension. Neptune pushes Chibi-usa and Cologne out into the tunnel ways. Uranus glares over at the Wise man, although she had never officially met him. She had heard stories that en lighted a rage, especially the knowledge that he had poisoned Chibi-usa with his dark magics.

“World shaking.”

The powerful attack fell over The Wise man, smashing into him, forcing him back. He calmly brushed at his cloak, dusting himself off, as if that was all that was needed to rid himself off the Senshi’s magic. He lifted a single finger and shook it at the numerous Sailors.

“Now, now I have no bone to pick with any of you, Just give me small lady and I will be on my way.”

Hellios looks over at Pluto, praying that she would understand his plan. Somehow sensing his goal, Pluto nods and points her staff to the sky. “Dead Scream Rewind.” (Note:Dead scream was the only attack by her I could remember the name of. I know I am not using it correctly.)

All off a sudden time stops, freezing everyone except for Pluto and Hellios. She walks over to Hellios, and puts her hand on his shoulder. “Are you sure you want to do this?”

His eyes cloud over with uncertainty, he sighs and then nods his head. “I fear it’s the only way to safe Chibi-usa.”

Pluto swings her staff in the air, in the reverse order that she would usually. Suddenly time speeds up, as they are flung back into the past, the world spinning past them, until they come to a portrait off a ten year old Chibi-usa calling Pegus for the first time.

With a swift turn off her staff, Pluto stops time once again. Freezing everyone but The past Chibi-usa, Hellios and herself. Hellios closes his eyes, and takes a deep breathe.

The past ten year old Chibi moon, does not detect Pluto, Hellios or anyone else. She stands in the moonlight, and raises her bell, “Twinkle Yell.

Instantly Hellios is transformed into Pegus. He leaps to the air circles the senshi once and flies straight to the door connecting Illusion to the time tunnels.

Pluto sweeps her staff through the air in a reverse moment. Ten year old Sailor Chibi-moon disappears, just as the Sailor Senshi are propelled through time once again. After a moment they are back in Illusion, in their own time.

Wise man looks at Pegus in wonder. dawning clouds his eyes as the winged, horned horse lands in front of an awe struck teenage Chibi-usa. She reaches out with a shaking hand and lightly touches Pegasus coat.

“Hellios,” she whispers.

“Ah, so we think we are cleaver, do we ?” The Wise man hisses. He extends one skeletons hand in Pegasus and Chibi-usa’s direction. A bolt of dark energy shoots from it and crashes into Pegus. Who falls backwards, across the threshold and into Illusion, landing onto the ground in his human form. Saturn rushes to his motionless body.

“Hellios,” Chibi-usa screams, she runs towards the door. But another lighting bolt of dark energy slams it. Locking Chibi-usa away from her fallen lover and the other Senshi.

Suddenly the old women who had been clutching onto her arm but had been pushed to the floor in Wise man’s attack. Climbs off of the floor and takes two sturdy steps towards Chibi-usa.

She reaches into her pocket and pulls out a single small black crystal earing. The same earning the Wise man had given to her earlier that night, when she made her unholy deal. With her other arm Cologne grabs Chibi-usa and pulls her into her clutches. Chibi-usa shrieks in surprise at the women’s new found strength. Cologne holds the earning in front of the stunned girl.

Fear falls over Chibi-usa in waves as she peers at the single black crystal that just to adorn her ears when she was poisoned by the Wise man’s magic’s.

“No,” she shrieks, struggling in vain to break free off Cologne’s hold but the old amazon is far to strong. Her fear now so intense consumes Chibi-usa as Cologne forces the earning into her slender hand. Instantly waves off dark energy assault her, corroding her soul, taking her over so completely.

As the darkness crashes over her in waves, Chibi-usa’s will starts to fade, her Psyche falling behind a wall of hate.

Cologne leans in close to the girl, and whispers something into her ear.

Suddenly the door to Illusion swings open and the Sailor senshi engaged in a fight with Wise man are reveled. The light in Illusion seems to grow brighter, until the entire dimension glows with unholy light. Chibi-usa shields her eyes against the light, but after a moment she is compelled to look, the Sailor Senshi and The wise man are no where in sight.

Instead another vision plays out in front of her eyes. Chibi-usa recoils from it, desperately tries to deny it. But the blackness filling her soul refuses to let her look away. Unaware of even moving she steps through the doorway and into her own personal realm of darkness. Cologne follows closely behind.

In the middle of the palace grounds, stretched out on a blanket two figures lay entwined with each other. Moving oh so slowly, in a lover’s embrace. Although they are still fuzzy too her, it is obvious to Chibi-usa in what act these two are currently entertained.

Beyond her own will her feet guide her closer and closer to the two lovers, and as their cries of pleasure fill her ears, they turn and look at her, hatred and contempt linger in their eyes. Her vision clears and she see’s them. A soft but insane laugh escapes Chibi-usa as it sinks in and she really see’s them, Hotarue and Hellios, Hellios and Hotarue.

Hellios detangles himself Hotaru and pulls himself up. She follows and then they walk hand and hand towards Chibi-usa. Stopping mere inches from her, and then without a single glance in her direction they start to kiss, mocking her with their betrayal.

Chibi-usa’s heart turns black, she folds within herself falling beneath familiar comforting walls of nothingness. Fading into the cool yet calm recesses of the darkness lingering in her own tormented soul. Deep within the cracked recesses of her mind, she hears the hollow words off so long ago. It is almost as if the wise men is standing behind her, whispering his posion.

“No one loves you!”

Her fear and hate collide deep inside, Chibi-usa recoils from it, yet is drawn to it’s power.

She has to make them pay, they must pay! A slow smile slides across her seductive lips, as she steps out of the recess of the light and into the pitch blackness.

Cologne stares at the princess in amazement, although Chibi-usa’s physical appearance had not changed much, now a great power surges through her veins. Fear suddenly grips the old hag, A thousand questions race through her decaying mind. She licks her lips and opens her mouth, closes it, reopens it. “Princess,” she squeaks.

** Chibi-usa shakes her head, ” The names Wicked lady suits me don’t you think. (Note: I did not create this piece of dialog, this is from the actual English language dub of sailor moon R. In my opinion the only good thing that the dub ever did. I just love this line it is quite quirky.)

* * *

The Sailor Senshi stare in apprehension as the door to the time tunnels swing open and Chibi-usa enters. The girl appears to be sleep walking as if she isn’t aware of her surroundings or anything else for that matter. Right away the old women follows her in, she is mumbling something that they can’t quite pick up.

Chibi-usa walks over to where Sailor Saturn sits beside Hellios’s prone body. She stares at them for a moment her eye’s glazed over, and then she two starts to mumble something incoherent.

Hellios opens his eyes and looks up at Chibi-usa, after a brief second they too glaze over and drop shut. Saturn leans in closer to check his vitals. In a fit of rage, Chibi-usa reaches down and pushes her friend away from Hellios.

“Tramp,” she snarls.

Saturn climbs to her feet, and stares at her friend in amazement.

” Chibi-usa,” she whispers.

Chibi-usa drops the black crystal earing to the ground and it shatters, cascades of black energy flows up from the ruined earning and envelop Chibi-usa.

The inner Senshi gasp as the energy waves disappear and Chibi-usa stands before them naked. Tuxedo Mask quickly looks away, which causes a sinister laugh from Chibi-usa.

The Wise man steps towards them, he shoots a dark spark of energy towards the broken earning. Instantly another wave of blackness surrounds Chibi-usa. This wave sweeps over her, stays with her for a moment and then disappears.

Sailor Moon and the other Senshi look at Chibi-usa in horror, as she spins around ‘modeling’ her new sexy outfit. The skintight black dress hugs her adult curves perfectly, Where the pink shawl dances so eerily in the wind. At her feet a long lost friend awaits, Wicked lady opens her arms and welcomes Luna P, which floats satanically from the floor. She glares at Sailor Moon and the other Senshi wickedly.

Tears fill their eyes, as Cologne’s question gets the suspected answer.

The Wise man floats towards her, he extends one of his bony hands and Wicked lady excepts it gracefully.

“Welcome back.”

The black cloud falls upon them again but as the Wise man disappears, Wicked lady lets go off his hand and steps back towards the Sailor Senshi.

She ignores Sailor Moon’s and Tuxedo Mask’s appeals of love and goes straight for Saturn. She picks Sailor Saturn up by the neck and throws her against one of the palace walls. Saturn squirms in her grasp but is helpless against her enemy’s strength.

” Chibi-usa,” she squeaks. “I know you are still in there, you don’t want to this, you don’t want to kill me!”

Wicked lady laughs maliciously. “Kill you, why would I want to kill you?” she pauses for effect licks her lips and shoot Tuxedo Mask a seductive look. That causes Sailor Moon to clutch onto him, and shoot Wicked lady annoyed glances. Mars hits Moon gently across the head for being so stupid. Which causes Sailor Moon to shove Mars, that results in both Senshi sticking their tongues out at each other. Tuxedo Mask and the other Senshi sigh in frustration.

Wicked lady lifts Saturn off of the wall and throws her onto Hellios body. Stunned Saturn gingerly crawls off of the still unmoving Hellios and slides onto the ground beside him.

Wicked lady turns her venomous glare onto Saturn, “What’s wrong Hotaru, is it only good if he’s conscious? I can arrange that for you if you want, of course I’ll have to hurt him really bad. You don’t mind do you?”

She walks past the weeping Saturn and towards Tuxedo Mask and the still squabbling Mars and Moon. She slides up against him, which for obvious reasons made him very very uncomfortable. “Ah what’s wrong daddy, Am I too much women for you?” She leans over and kisses him on the forehead. Then pulls away laughing, as Sailor Moon stops fighting with Mars long enough to shoot her a malicious glare.

“Tell me daddy, why do you surround yourself with children?”

Tuxedo Mask steps towards wicked lady he puts his hand on her shoulder.

“Oh daddy, don’t be getting to kinky now, what would mom say.” This is followed by more hollow laugher.

” Chibi-usa, you are the only child hear. You allowed yourself to be brainwashed by black magics. Which was a direct result of you disobeying your mother and I’s orders.”

As if suddenly remembering her cue, Sailor Moon stepped towards her husband and daughter. ” Chibi-usa, you’re not a child anymore, you can fight this. Remember we all love you…”

Wicked lady throws Luna P in the air, transforming it into an pink umbrella. She smiles wickedly at the Senshi and the points the tip of the umbrella at Sailor moon.

“Sailor moon you need to zap her,” Uranus shouts. Uranus holds up her hand against the oncoming arguments. “With your wand, you know heal her.”

Nodding in agreement, Sailor moon takes her world famous pose.

“I am pretty solider senshi, sailor moon and in the name of the moon…”

“Your what, punish me.” Wicked lady starts to laugh, Go to hell.”

Dark energy shoots out of the umbrella and slammed into too Sailor moon, who for some dumb reason just stands there.

Almost instantly Tuxedo Mask pushes her too safety. Wicked lady turns from them and head back to Saturn and Hellios. Saturn seeing her coming pulls out her death glaive and points it at her. With a flick of her wrist, Wicked lady knocks the death glaive out of Saturn’s hands, it falls harmlessly to the ground. Wicked lady picks it up, “Didn’t your parents tell you not to play with weapons?” She takes the death glaive and breaks it in half against he knees. She throws the worthless pieces onto the ground the scatter in different directions.

The Sailor Senshi stare in stunned silence.

She bends down and grabs the fleeing Saturn by the hair, dragging her away from Hellios and back towards the wall. She leers down at her former friend, hate mixed with disgusted lingers in her malice eyes.

Wicked lady closes her eyes and concentrates, large waves of blackness seep up from her and hover just before Saturn.

“What are you doing?”Uranus demands. She throws an attack at Wicked lady but it just crashes to the floor, harmlessly at Wicked lady’s feet.

Evil Chibi-usa ignores Uranus and stares into Saturn’s eyes. The other girl squirms beneath her friend’s constant gaze. ” Chibi-usa, please….”

“Shut up Tramp,” Wicked lady leans in towards Saturn. Until her face is mere inches away. “Ah there you are.”

Without warning She thrusts the hovering ball of blackness into Saturn’s body. Immediately her Senshi identity falls away, revealing a tortured Hotarue.

In the background she hears one of the other Senshi gasp, this is followed with a “Oh, dear god.” Then a flash of blue energy collides with her, Wicked lady sidesteps it and continues her assault on Hotaru.

Hotaru’s eyes grow dark, all awareness goes out of them. Her body goes limp and begins to slide down the wall, yet still she continues her slaughter off Hotarue.

A minute, two minutes pass and then finally Wicked lady steps away from the now un moving Hotaru.

” Chibi-usa, what have you done?” Sailor Moon cries.

Wicked lady ignores her mother and soon the other senshi, as she stares transfixed at Hotaru’s prone body.

Then Hotaru begins to move, slowly she slithers to her feet until she is directly facing Wicked lady. Her eyes devoid off color bore into the villian’s. “Who, are you?”

Wicked lady smiles, ” Your savior.” With a wave off her hand, she shoots one more stream of darkness into Hotaru.

Hotaru screams and then collapses, even before she hits the ground her clothes disappear and her body begins to change. She grows taller, her natural small curves become rounder and her long dark hair spills over her like oil. A sexy halter top caress her now amble bossom and her her long cream colored legs are draped by a White skirt that clings in all the right places. Two sets off pearls wrap across the front of her top and encase her arms. A small star is now tattooed on her forehead, in the exact same place that Wicked lady’s upside down crescent moon resigns.

“The Messiah of Silence,” Uranus and Neptune whisper in unison, they stare at Wicked lady and Mistress 9 in abject horror.

Both villains continue to ignore them, as they stare in fascination at each other. Finally Wicked lady breaks the silence that has fallen between them. She reaches her into the air and pulls down a black portal that in cases both girls. As Wicked lady turns to Mistress 9 and says, “Master Pharaoh Ninety has sent me to claim you.” the darkness envelopes them and they disappear..

End of Part 1. I will have part up 2.

Authors notes.

***Note there is one line dialog that I used when Wicked lady was first reborn, this dialog does not belong to me, the phrase, “The name’s wicked lady, suits me don’t you think.” Was in the actual English language dub of Sailor MOON R. So yes it isn’t’;t mind but I have always loved it. Notice that she is one of the only characters that I didn’t refer to as her Japanese name which is Black lady. In fact she is the only character that I will usually switch up with well using the name. What I mean by this is that I will sometimes say Wicked lady or sometimes say Black lady. I will try my best to keep at Wicked lady.

Obviously the characters themselves, or their names, or their attacks do not belong to me either. I am just using them for my own sick fantasies of seeing Wicked lady, Mistress 9, and another surprise Sailor Moon Villain together. I am sick I Know. I also wanted to play around with the idea that Cologne would do anything to get Shampoo Ranma. (In case you didn’t realize this, these characters are not my own either. They belong to the world of Ranma 1/2 but Oh they served my purpose well.

Note: Okay I might have done the whole, icky Wicked lady seducing Tuxedo Mask thing a little too far. This apparently really happened in the Manga, but they just made it a dream in the anime.

I felt this was needed because all though Tuxedo Mask is not nor will he be Wicked lady major ‘fad’ lets say in this story. I wanted to keep true to the character, though the daddy thing I added in. Just in case ppl forgot that he is her dad. And ahem, they are so wrong.

Anyways hope you enjoyed I am entering this in a convention so all and any comments are good. Thanks all.

PS. I am too lazy for spell check tonight sorry all, but it is 2 am.
