Fan Fiction / Crossover Fan Fiction / Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ Eclipse ❯ Chapter 4: And the Dice Keep Rolling ( Chapter 6 )

[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

All right people, the poll stands as thus:

YuGiOh!-12

Dragon Lance-4

Nightmare Before Christmas-3

Pet Shop Of Horrors-15

Underworld-0

Pitch Black/Chronicles of Riddick-8

Labyrinth-2

Gundum Wing-6

(and for all of those who suggested something not up there)

Other-18

So far other is winning, but considering that almost all of the other animes and stories that were suggested I have absolutely no idea about, it looks like Pet Shop of Horrors is going to be the one I'm crossing this over with. But remember; continue giving me your opinions, as this is going to be a long fic, with the crossover part coming in around the middle.

People have been writing me exclaiming how much they like this fic, and I just wanted to say thank you. This fic is my baby, and right now, all my other fics are second in importance.

Hope you like this chapter.

DISCLAIMER: If I owned it, I wouldn't be posting this story here, instead you would've found out that the manga went like this!

Eclipse

Chapter 4: And the Dice Keep Rolling

By: Ceris Malfoy

The figure stood in the shadows that, oddly enough, seemed to only exist in that particular corner of the room. If one looked closely, one could see the vague shape of a woman. And, if you looked even closer, you could see the luminescent tri-colored eyes and the beginnings of a smirk playing across her face. The figure was currently watching the creaming, writhing princess, the pissed, desperate senshi, and that bastard of a prince, Endymion.

"Good evening Pluto, Saturn, Mars, and ...Mamo-baka."

They whirled about and tried in vain to see the figure standing in the shadows.

Saturn felt the stirrings of her darker half and knew that this being, in some form or another, was her Usagi, her moon-mama. Only Usagi could rouse her darker half, whether to soothe or to anger, it mattered not. This was Usagi, this was her moon-mama, and that bitch on the floor did not deserve her allegiance. With a mournful cry that made the others glance at her in surprise, she ran towards the figure. "MAMA!" she cried, tears sliding down her cheeks. For one brief moment she feared that her Usa-mama wouldn't take her back, hated her for what she had done, but the figure knelt down and opened her arms wide, welcoming the return of her little one.

Saturn de-henshined and rushed into the figure's arms. The figure whispered something, and a black glow surrounded Hotaru. With a slight 'pop' Hotaru disappeared in a shower of purple sparkles.

The figure stood and all of them stepped back in fear at the sight of a dark rage growing in those gorgeous eyes.

Endymion swallowed his fear and stepped forward. "Who the fuck are you?" he demanded.

The figure laughed. "I come from under the moon and under the moon and over the moon my paths have lead. And through the air. I am she that walks unseen. I am the gem-finder, the web-cutter, the poisoned-arrow. I was stolen from my mothers arms by my aunt and raised by she who sealed away my mother. I am she that entrances lost wanderers and gives them power beyond their wildest dreams. I came from death, but never once did Death touch me. I am the friend of gods and the guest of royalty. I am the Game-winner and the shadow-wearer; I am the riddle-weaver. I am she to whom you owe your allegiance, not that blonde psycho over there."(1)

Endymion blinked in surprise. He was torn between confusion and anger, and decided that anger was the best course. "I don't give a shit about your invented titles, I want to know what the fuck your name is, bitch!"

"Tut-tut. Such language for a Prince! Why, I do believe that you're in need of a sound spanking, my good lad!"

Endymion blushed. "How dare...What right do you have to address ME, of all people, without any form of respect what-so-ever!"

The woman's triple-irises gleamed out from her cloak of shadows. "I know many things about you and the Sol senshi, many things indeed. And I know that of all the so-called 'defenders' of Earth, you are the most vile, the least pure. You have no right to claim respect of me when, despite the fact that I am darker that anything you have yet encountered, you are more corrupt than I." She paused and allowed the other two senshi to reflect on her words. "As for who I am, that no longer matters, as you would not recognize my name, either of them. I am one who stood by you and the senshi through thick and thin and was betrayed for it. I address you with the exact amount of respect that you deserve, which is to say, none."

Mars was about to retaliate, but before she could Mercury burst through the door screaming, "We're fucked! We're fucked!" at the top of her lungs. She was waving her compact computer around in the air like a wild woman, looking completely undone and... well, about as un-Mercury-ish as possible.

Mars turned away to speak to the figure, only to find that the woman was gone...along with the shadows that had covered her.

Startled, she did the only thing she could do. She turned back to Mercury. "What do you mean 'we're fucked'?"

Nasty little shit, aren't I? You'll see the rest of the chapter soon, I promise.

NOTES:

1. If someone can tell me from what story this badly mangled quote comes from, you'll get the next chapter sent to you early. If you need any part of that riddle covered just say so, and I'll be sure to include a note explaining it in the next chapter, K?

R/r please!

Ja ne,
