Previously on Sailor Moon Neo T...

Reuisu pressed every button on the elevator control, trying to get back up and rescue Lucy. However, it did not do anything to help him accomplish that goal. All of a sudden, he looked up at the room where they had been in as a great fire blasted out of it, shuddering the whole tower. The power for the elevator cut off as it stopped in between floors. Reuisu's eyes dilated, as he knew the explosion had come from the room Lucy had undoubtedly been in.

Reuisu: Guys, what's wrong?

Miya: It's Deckard Cain! He's... He's...

Chris: He's dying.

Miya: So there's a sixth Titan?

Reuisu: Apparently so.

Michelle: Well, then where do we start? They could be anywhere. Any- Hey, Reuisu, take a look at this.

Chris: A seventh Titan?!

Reuisu: Well, it looks like we have a new quest on our hands, people.

Miya: Welcome to the family, Christine.

Reuisu: Anna, what if I told you that you were a Sailor Titan?

Anna: COOL!

Baal stopped his attack as he turned around and saw Sailor Life holding the Silver Crystal in her hands.

Life: Here, take the Crystal! Just don't hurt my friends!

Baal: I told you, Sailor Angel: There would be no seventh Titan, only death. And so I reveal to you my Sailor Death.






*Theme song: Dare, by Stan Bush*






The final part of Sailor Life's transformation into Sailor Death came in the form of her front and back bows turning black. She spun her scythe around with masterful ease and smiled devilishly. Sailor Angel took the only course of action he knew to befit this situation.

Angel: RUN! Run like hell!

And with that, the remaining six Titans ran into Crystal Tower. A steel wall came down from behind the doors and went down behind the doors, sealing it off. Immediately, the group began to see the wall begin to become dented, obviously from Sailor Death and Baal attempting to break in.

Crystal: And just what are we supposed to do now?!

Cephiros: Crystal, don't panic.

Crystal: Why shouldn't I panic?! Sailor Life, the youngest and most fragile member of our little group has just been turned into a murderous psychopath by that demon!

Love: If we panic, we can't help Anna.

Moonshine: We need a plan.

Angel: The prophecy, this is exactly as the prophecy said it would be!

Asteroid: "As a Prologue for the despair that would follow, the demon of Destruction released an Angel of Death from the soul of Life." In other words, he's created the Angel of Death, also known as Sailor Death, from the soul of Life, AKA Sailor Life.

Moonshine: The prophecy said we had to use the Silver crescent to stop her. Any idea what that is?

Angel: The silver crystal's a purifying force. Perhaps if we could get it away from Baal, we could use it to bring Anna back into Sailor Life.

Love: Exact plan?

Angel: We'll split into two teams of three. Crystal, Love, and I will attempt to restrain Sailor Death before she can do any serious harm. Moonshine, Cephiros, and Asteroid will attempt to retrieve the Silver Crystal from Baal. Move out!






Astra rubbed at her eyes as best as she could with her paws. Her cat instincts told her to sleep, to gain some kind of rest, but the Guardian within her told her to keep on, try to help the Titans in any way she could. She sat in Reuisu's void, examining the Sailor Wars book.

Astra: If only I had some idea what I was looking for...

All of a sudden, much to Astra's surprise, something tapped her on the head. She leapt into the air, scared out of her wits, turned around and her fur raised. She prepared her teeth and claws just in case someone had broken into the void. However, the figure before her definitely did not look threatening. In fact, she recognized him immediately.

Astra: Nephlite?

The angel of Nephlite nodded.

Nephlite: Hello, Astra.

Astra relaxed. She smirked.

Astra: Still dead?

Nephlite smiled.

Astra: So what are you doing here?

Nephlite: I have finally been given orders to fully assist you in this matter. Although I cannot fight for you, I can finally give you the information you seek.

Astra: Great! Now, what is it that Baal is after? Why did he set up the eclipse?

Nephlite's smile disappeared.

Nephlite: Baal is after a sacred object.

Astra: But he's got the Silver Crystal! The Silver Crystal could give him control of the world!

Nephlite: It is not control he seeks.

Astra: Then what does he seek?

Nephlite: Destruction.

Astra raised an eye up like she was raising an eyebrow, but having none, she could not do it fully.

Nephlite: Baal seeks to destroy this world and every person in it in an orgy of death and chaos. Back in the land of Sanctuary, where Kurast, Lut Gholein, and Tristram lie, there is another province, the Barbarian Highlands of the north. Just past the city of Harrogath, Mt. Arreat lies, and within Mt. Arreat is the World Stone.

Astra: What is the World Stone?

Nephlite: The World Stone is the stabilizing force. It is what keeps the denizens of hell itself from spewing out into the world.

Astra: But we've seen demons come out and attack earth dozens of times!

Nephlite: Through hell mouths, yes. But hell mouths are temporary portals from Hell. If the World Stone is shattered, it will literally be Hell on Earth.

Astra: Why the Silver Crystal?

Nephlite: Normal weaponry cannot pierce the Stone. The Silver Crystal's power, imbued with the right incantation, can penetrate the stone.

Astra: And the Lord of Chaos?

Nephlite: All who live know who he is.






Angel: HAND OF DESTINY!!!

Sailor Angel's hand glowed a bright gold, and it shot out a white and gold beam of energy at Sailor Death. However, she put her scythe in front of it, splitting the beam and deflecting it away. As soon as the beam stopped firing, Death took the initiative.

Death: TOUCH OF DEATH!!!

Death put her hand into the sky, and a small black blast of energy shot out and collided into Sailor Angel. He yelped as all the feeling in his wings and legs went away. He fell down onto the ground next to the collapsed Sailors Love and Crystal.

Crystal: Some... Plan... Reuisu...

Angel: Oh... Be... Quiet...

Sailor Death walked over to them and aimed her scythe carefully, ready to bring it down upon Sailor Angel and kill him. However, as soon as she struck down, not two feet away from Reuisu's chest, a double-glaive's blades caught the scythe in the air, sticking it between the blades. Sailor Death turned her head to the side to see Sailor Saturn standing next to Angel, holding the glaive. She glared at Sailor Death, and motioned the glaive upwards, snapping the scythe in half. The bladed half landed next to Angel, and suddenly the three Titans were able to move again.

Love: CRESCENT HEART CRUSH!!!

Five identical pink hearts appeared out of nowhere and surrounded Sailor Death, trapping her.

Crystal: CRYSTAL CRUSHER BEAM!!!

Crystal clapped her hands together, and then slowly brought them apart, forming a white energy ball. She threw the ball into the Crescent Heart Crush, encasing the energy field in crystal.






Baal: Thiiiiiiiissssss wiiiiiiiilllll oooooooonlllllyyyy deeeeeeeelllllaaaaaay theeeeee innnnneeeeeviiiiiitaaaaaablllllle!

Baal could hardly move as a panting Sailor Moonshine continued to push all her energy through her Time staff into Baal, trying to create a temporal stasis field and stop his movement.

Moonshine: If someone's going to do something...

Sailor Cephiros ran over to Baal and snatched the Silver Crystal off of the necklace he had created. Baal slowly gritted his teeth in hatred. Sailors Cephiros and Asteroid ran back over to the other Titans, who were also being joined by the inner soldiers and Neo-Queen Serenity.

Asteroid: Your highness, I believe this is yours.

Cephiros handed the Silver crystal over to Serenity.

Angel: Now, your majesty, we need you to use the crystal to purify Sailor Life.

Serenity: Understood.

Three seconds after that, the crystal prison that had encased Sailor Death shattered, and she growled with fury. However, the light of the Silver Crystal met her. It shined into her very being. Her eyes returned to their former state, and her clothing reverted back to a Sailor fuku. She collapsed onto the ground, barely conscious. Angel ran over to her and picked her up.

Angel: Are you all right?

Voice: Guys!

The six Titans turned their heads to see Astra running as fast as she could over to the Titans.

Astra: I know the answers now! I know what Baal is up to!

All of a sudden, Baal sent out a tendril with all his might and slapped Sailor Moonshine across the face, breaking her concentration in the time beam. Baal immediately broke free. Seeing that Sailor Life was back to normal, and that the Silver Crystal was once again in the possession of the Sailors, he roared in anger, and sent out one GIANT WAVE OF ENERGY IN ALL DIRECTIONS!

The wave collapsed everything nearby, ground, trees, walls, buildings. The ground beneath the Titans let loose, as did Baal's. And down they all fell...
