Chapter 6

My my, what have we got here??? It’s the disclaimer damnit! You see, fan fiction authors are required to specify that they don’t own any characters involved in their story, that were not made up on their own. SOOO therefore, I say, “I do so solemnly swear that I do not own any characters created by Takeuchi Naoko. I only own my own and my plot.” And, would you please do that same courtesy of stating that you don’t own my characters should you ever for some reason decide to use them, as well as the plot. Thank you.

Japanese and or Greek/Roman phrases/names/items used: (I only use them when the English translation would sound unusual)
Puu - A nickname that Chibi Usa uses for Sailor Pluto.
The Lemures/Larvae - Spirits of the wicked dead and greatly feared.
Eh? - Huh?

Panting for breath, Koyuki held her aching head, "Omnipotent... I need to take a break again." Her glowing face reflected the mild pain and exhaustion, as the light from the glowing planets reflected off of her skin. What was the planet Mars had become a sea of rusty red swirling together with a much deeper red. The man walked towards her, and leaned down gripping her shoulders, "That's fine. Just... how much did you get?"
"Not a whole bunch... the red planet is very strong, its will very powerful."
Looking about, Omnipotent called out, "Maid, get her something to drink, some wine preferably." Chibi Usa's red eyes were reflecting in the light, and she replied, "Yes, my lord," And then she acknowledged the tired girl, "Lady." Turning out of the room, she entered the hallways, and headed for the winery. After going through a series of halls, and down several sets of stairs, she was in the wine cellar. Feeling a small vibration, she looked down and saw a red light blinking faintly from her pocket.
Pulling out her crystal, which was also a com-link, she answered the call, "Puu? Is that you?"
"Yes Small Lady. It is safe for you to return to the present on Earth and join the others. The Outer Senshi and I are on our way to Tokyo right now. I will see you there, Small Lady. Until then." The link was cut, and then she placed the device back in her pocket. Grabbing a glass, and some wine, Chibi Usa decided to do one last thing for Koyuki, and then she would leave this place, hopefully forever.

Freezing weather bombarded the crowds as the heat wave dissappeared. It wasn't very long before people were rushing to put their heavy coats back on, and for people to go back on the streets. The girls sat inside the restaurant quietly contemplating the most current event, "Well, now that that's over... maybe we can finish shopping?" Minako tried, hoping to lighten everyone's mood. It was a meager attempt, but they all nodded and went outside.
Rei said, "I know you all want to try and enjoy today, but I think I'm going to go back home and see how much this has affected me."
"You sure you don't want anyone to go with you?" Usagi inquired, but the pyro stubbornly shook her head, "No. I'll be fine. You guys enjoy shopping, and we'll continue working on the issue later." As she turned to leave, a tall young woman with short black hair ran into her.
"Watch where you're walking." She snapped as her blue eyes flashed, and just as quickly continued on her way.
The raven haired senshi looked at the woman as she continued, glaring daggers, "Geez! What is it with people these days? Don't people have any manners..." She continued, "Alright, see you all later." Rei then left the area, and headed for her home.

Gaea's silver eyes widened as she called forth one of her underlings, "Bring forth one of our Lemures. I wish to send it out to take care of... something." Softly the great being laughed, as the servant left, to do the lady's bidding.

As Rei continued on through the park, the halfway mark to her home, and home to many past battles, an eerie feeling came over her. However, she shook it off, and continued on. Upon leaving the park, however, she could not get rid of the feeling that she was being watched. Her sixth sense was kicking in, warning her of another presence, but not of this world.
Looking around, the girl headed back towards the park, where she knew she'd be able to transform unseen, 'No wonder we have so many fights here... it's not ever full of people...' Hiding behind a tree, making sure the coast was clear, she called out to her forefather, "Mars Crystal Power! - Make up!" In a swirl of fire and red, the Sailor Senshi of Fire and Spirit stepped forth. Looking about with her power enhanced eyes, Sailor Mars brought up her wrist, and made a communicae to the other girls, "Get over to the park. Something is not right. I'll see you all there."
Shutting off the link, she leapt up into a tree, and tried to sense how many people were about the park. Fortunately, there were few, and most were not close by, except for one. According to her sense, the person was right below her. Opening her eyes, she immediately looked down, expecting to see someone. However, she was shocked to see that there was no one there, "Eh?" She quickly grew suspicious of what she had sensed.
Jumping down from her perch, Sailor Mars landed firmly on her feet. Next thing she knew, something had grabbed her ankle, and flipped her onto her back with a painful landing, 'A human spirit.'
"What the hell, spirit!? Show yourself now!" The firebrand demanded, as she was getting up. There was a quiet snicker, as a foggy form began to take shape, and soon enough, there was the figure of a man in front of her. This spirit had the dark eyes of being evil, and not only that, it was completely solid. Narrowing her eyes, the senshi quickly called forth her powers to banish it, "Burning Mandala!" The branded fire sped towards the creature, and hit it. However, it merely laughed as it brushed off the attack.
Shocked that her attack had not worked, Sailor Mars crouched low as she panted heavily, sweat beading on her brow. 'It really does take the energy out of you... but I expected more!' The spirit walked towards her, as its evil smile neared, speaking to her, "Now, Sailor Senshi of Fire, you will die." She looked up, and put up the strongest spiritual barrier she could, using as much strength she could muster, "I will NOT be killed by a mere spirit such as yourself!"
The form continued to walk towards her, as her energy continued to grow less. She soon lost her energy, and blacked out, collapsing completely. As the barrier went down, the creature barred down on her, prepared to take her out, but it was immediately distracted by an attack, "Venus Love Me Chain!" As the golden chain encircled it, the thing screached out, letting loose an ear splitting scream. The chain loosened, but Sailor Venus soon regained her hold on it.
"Freezing Banshee!" A beautiful screaming creature came forth, and penetrated into the spirit. The other Sailor Senshi watched as the thing began to stop screaming, as it braced its hands over its ears, "Stop! Stop! I can't stand it, it's so agonizing!!" He soon stopped moving as well, and was frozen in place. A sharp voice called, "Destroy it now, Sailor Moon, while you still can."
Looking around, the senshi tried to find the source of the voice, but she thought better, and then called forth her Moon Septer, "Rainbow Heart blah blah!" The power from her weapon surged forth, and as it hit the frozen spirit, it burst into millions of icy pieces, and then dissappeared. Having defeated the creature, all of the senshi ran towards a still passed out Mars, "Sailor Mars!" The Moon Princess cried, "Wake up, come on, wake up!" The girls had forgotten the person who had helped out of concern for their companion, and did not notice a tall lady walking away from the scene.
It was not long before the senshi of spirit awoke, but not without a headache, "Let's get out of here," Were her first words, and they all agreed, once they had returned to their everyday selves.
