Chapter 19: The cult part 1.

The end...

Mina is kneeling down meditating. The only noticeable thing about her is that she is bald
and in robes.

"Oh great lord. Make my labor worthy to you." Mina says.

A bunch of robed men come into the room and grab Mina forcefully.

"What are you doing to me? I am meditating." Mina asks angrily.

"The lord has spoken and he wants a sacrifice." One of the men says.

"Well you don't have to force me to watch it." Mina says.

The men take Mina out to the main chapel. A cloth is lying on the altar.

"Who is the sacrifice gonna be?" Mina asks.

The priest pulls back the sheet and Mina is shocked to see that nobody is there. Suddenly
she is shoved
onto the altar.

"No! You can't sacrifice me. I am your loyal servant." Mina yells.

The priest comes forward with a ceremonial sword.

"Oh lord please accept this sacrifice to please you." The priest chants.

He prepares to lower the sword and Mina screams.

The beginning...

The girls are all on winter vacation and enjoying the good but strange, for them, weather.

"I was looking forward to some snow. But there has been nothing." Serena says.

"I know it's crazy. I heard that the state above us has a lot of snow." Mina says.

"I can't wait till Christmas. I want presents." Serena says.

"Don't forget that you aren't here with your parents. It would be nice if our hosts got us
something but
don't expect much." Rei scolds.

"If my present could be the answers to our questions about what we are up against, then
that would be good
enough for me." Mina says.

The others nod in agreement. They hear some noise and head on over. They come upon a
large gathering.

"What's going on?" Serena asks.

They come close enough so they can hear what the speaker is saying.

"I ask all of you to join our cult. A change is coming soon and only the people of our cult
will be spared."
The speaker says.

"I don't take well to threats to my life which it sounds like you are saying." A man yells.

"I am not threatening your life. I am just warning you of something that is coming." The
speaker says.

"I will most certainly not join anything under the threat of my life. Not by you or your
god." A woman
yells.

"How can you say that when you go to church to worship another god. Your religion says
that if you don't
go to church that you will be forever damned does it not?" The speaker asks.

"Well uh." The woman responds.

"It does. I know cause I was once of that faith. So how is that threat any better than this
religion's so
called threat?" The speaker asks.

"I have heard about what cults do to people. Too many of them have ended up with mass
suicide. I will
never join that kind of madness." Another man says.

The speaker takes up his speakers and walks away with the others.

"Let's follow them and see where their place is." Mina says.

They follow the guys to a big temple. The guys enter the temple and the girls sneak in.

"You got no initiates?" A voice asks angrily.

"We are sorry. We used to same speech but they were too smart." The speaker responds.

"I will not take failure." The voice yells.

The speaker cries out in pain. The girls shudder in revulsion.

"You will find me new worshipers now or I will kill you next time." The voice says.

"Yes my lord." The speaker says weakly.

"I want that crystal and soon." The voice says.

The girls look at each other in shock.

"Could we have found the base of the enemy?" Ami asks.

"Let's get out of here before they find us." Serena says.

They all race out and return home to contemplate what they had found out.

"We need someone to infiltrate that place and find out what is going on there." Ami says.

"Whoever does that would have to be pretty stupid." Mina says.

The others all look at her.

"Oh no. I am not doing that." Mina gasps.

"It will be okay. The enemy doesn't know about our civilian forms. They don't know
you." Rei says.

"Okay fine I'll do it. But if something happens to me, I'll never forgive you guys." Mina
says.

The girls go to the local shop and buy some robes for Mina. They walk with her to the
entrance of the
temple.

"Good luck Mina. We will come in get you if something goes wrong." Serena says.

"Why does that not make me feel better coming from you?" Mina asks.

Mina walks into the temple and the girls return home. But on the way the girls run into
the sight of a robed
figure beating up on a young man.

"Tell me where the crystal is or I will snap your neck." The figure says.

"I swear that I don't know what you are talking about." The young man says.

"Hey leave him alone." Serena yells.

The robed figure spins around.

"How dare you interfere with the orders of my great lord?" The figure asks.

Serena almost blows her cover by doing her speech.

"Uh never mind." Serena yells.

The girls run into the corner and quickly transform.

"That's enough tormenting of an innocent. I am Sailor Moon and in the name of the
moon I shall punish
you." Sailor Moon yells.

"You. Our lord told me about you. He said to deal with you if I saw you." The robed
figure says.

"You deal with us?" Sailor Mars asks laughing.

The robed figure pulls back his front and takes out a sword.

"Oh I am so scared." Sailor Mars says in jest.

Suddenly the sword flares up to life. The man swings it around and leaves a fire trail
behind it.

"Things are about to get heated up." The figure says smiling.

"I was just about to say the same thing." Sailor Mars says.

Sailor Mars powers up.

"Mars sacred flame ignite." Sailor Mars yells.

The flames strike the figure but his robes don't catch on fire. In fact the sword seems to
absorb the flame.

"Is that all you can do?" The figure asks.

He swings his sword at the girls and a wall of flame appears in front of them. The girls all
yell. The figure
laughs. Suddenly the figure stops and runs away.

"You haven't seen the last of me." The figure yells back.

"Mercury ice spears strike." Sailor Mercury yells.

The spears strike the wall and put it out.

"I guess the wall of fire wasn't as powerful without the guy still there." Sailor Mercury
says.

"Nah I just think that your power was an opposite of his. That's why yours did something
and not mine."
Sailor Mars says.

"That guy gave me the creeps. I have a feeling that Mina is in terrible danger in there."
Sailor Moon says.

"She said she would contact us if she was in trouble. I say we go home and rest." Sailor
Mars says.

They all power down and reluctantly return home. Meanwhile in the temple, Mina is
looking around after
her initiation. She comes across a temple and sees someone sitting cross-legged in front
of an altar. The
woman stands up and turns around. A flash of horror races through Mina.

"Chaka!" Mina thinks.

Luckily Chaka doesn't seem to recognize Mina and walks right past her.

"Whew that was close. I better call the others about this." Mina says quietly.

She calls the girls and asks them to get her out of her after telling them about Chaka. But
as soon as she
gets off the communication, a bunch of people grab her and drag her into a room.

"So we have a traitor in our midst." A priest says.

"No!" Mina yells.

"Then why were you talking to someone outside of this temple secretly?" The priest asks.

"I wasn't talking to anybody. I was looking at myself in a compact and talking to
myself." Mina responds
worried.

A thug forcefully searches her robes and finds her 'compact'. The thug shows the priest
it.

"Kill her." The priest says.

"No. I have a much better plan for her. I know who she really is and her friends will
come to get her." A
voice says.

"Yes my lord." The priest bows.

Mina screams as the priest drives a dark shard into her stomach. The screaming stops and
her eyes turn
black. Meanwhile the girls are rushing to the temple and transform again. They bust on
in.

"Mina!" Sailor Moon yells.

"She's right here." The priest says.

The look in shock at Mina who is all clothed in some kind of strange battle armor and her
eyes are black.

"Thank you for coming." The priest says laughing.

Suddenly the girls are surrounded by hundreds of worshipers including the one they
fought earlier.
