"Dear Paladin...
It's good to know that I have a friend like you that I can talk to. With all my recent hardships, and all the things on my mind I have to tell someone I trust. It started with a destiny I never wanted, turned into a responsibility I can't really handle, and the loss of another good friend despite my best efforts to protect her."
Chris looked up from the book he started writing in, wondering what else to add. He basically summed it all up in those few lines, but somehow it wasn't enough. "How can girls write Diary entries on a daily basis?" he thought to himself.
"I remember when I was younger that I always wanted the gold ring my father wore; the one with the beautiful emerald embedded in it. It was like a territory I so eagerly wanted to map; only now I find that I regret it, and that there was no choice for me in the matter. When my father passed away a year ago, I had to prematurely take responsibility of a ring that had the power to destroy the lives of billions, should it fall into the wrong hands. I was 16, the youngest person to ever possess the ring. Just after my 17th birthday, I was forced to become the youngest person to ever use it. Still, age is not important when you are in the scenario I am in, where evil forces know you have the ring and can attack at any moment. If only I had time to tell this to my friend, maybe my spirits would be higher. Instead, I have no clue as to weather she is alive or, she can't be. Just the fact that they took her has been difficult on me; I am responsible for this happening. If they harmed her in any way..."
Once again, Chris found himself at a loss for words. That and a familiar face caught his attention.
Chris: You!
Raivian: Ah, you still remember me! Didn't expect that from a murderer like you.
Chris: You call me a murderer. Have you looked in the mirror lately? I am sure you would see a criminal in it as well!
Raivian: You speak of your friend, don't you? Well, she is alive and well, I can promise you that.
Chris: I am sure you have a reason for talking to me rather then just trying to take the ring.
Raivian: You are much more clever then I thought. I was going to propose a trade, your friend for the ring tonight in the park. All I need for this exchange to happen is if the Sailor Scouts don't show up.
Chris: A simple case of blackmail. Well, when do I have to show?
Raivian: 11:30 tonight. Don't wear the ring when you show up, just hold it in your hand. (Starts to walk away) And don't be late. You seem very concerned for the well being of your friend.
As Raivian and blends into the crowd, Chris returns to his notebook.
"No, they won't harm her. They want to trap me and the Scouts tonight. I don't know what the trap is, but I would more then love to see the expression on their (the villains) faces when they see the trap backfire. I have to make it backfire, otherwise, there would be no hope for my friend, the billions of others, and most important, my soul. Your friend, Chris."Raivian: Everything is set up Brother. Tonight, we shall have the ring.
Brother Unknown: I better have that ring tonight. Remember that you cannot return without it.
Voice: He will come back safely and with the ring. I'll personally see to it.
Raivian: And beside, I don't need any more motivation. Revenge will be more then enough.
Brother Unknown: But you will need this...(with a wave of his hand, a gray sword appeared in Raivian's hand) as there is always the possibility of something going wrong.
Raivian: Believe me, nothing can go wrong.
Brother Unknown: You might want to back that up, or they will become nothing more then famous last words.
Voice: They will become famous words, but not famous last words. (The 3 laugh)Serena: Where is he? You guys keep complaining that I'm always late!
Darien: Well, Chris doesn't know who we are, and it could be just that he is not exactly sure where to go.
Rai: He could also be in trouble.
Amy: From what we saw yesterday, I think he is capable of taking care of himself.
Just outside, Mena is playing lookout. She finally spots Chris, and proceeds to walk up to him.
Mena: Hi Chris
Chris: (thinks to himself: oh no, the last person I want to talk to! Does she know about what happened to Lita?) Uh, hello Mena.
Mena: You seem nervous about meeting the others. I know how it's like.
Chris: Well.... You're one of them?
Mena: Venus
Chris: Well, in that case, give them this message (hands her a book). I have something rather important to do right now and it can't wait. Bye!Amy: the billions of others, and most important, my soul. Your friend, Chris.
Mena: He really thinks Lita's kidnapping is his fault.
Darien: He also knows that he is walking into a trap.
Amy: There is also a note here. He doesn't want us to interfere.
Rai: So, we want to help, he refuses help, and he knows that he is walking into a trap.
Serena: Well, he will have our help weather he likes it or not. Lita is our friend also, and we can't just stand by.
Amy: It's probably why he also told us where and when an exchange will take place.
Darien: An exchange? Amy: The ring in exchange for Lita.
Mena: He WON'T give up the ring! Will he?Raivian: You're early! You must really care for her.
Chris: Shut it. Where is Lita?
Raivian: Right here. (He pulls her from behind a tree).
Lita: CHRIS!!!
Raivian: The ring, please.
Lita: DON'T GIVE IT TO HIM!
Chris starts walking towards Raivian silently, with the ring in hand, despite Lita's pleas. With reluctance, he finally handed Raivian the ring, at the same time pulling Lita away from him.
Raivian: Good doing business with you. Smiling, Raivian disappears.
The other scouts arrive seconds after.
Moon: What! You actually did it?
Lita: Yeah, why did you do it? WHY?
Chris: Calm down girls.
Venus: HOW CAN YOU! YOU JUST HANDED THEM THE LETO RING!
Rai: I CAN'T BELIVE YOU CAN BE SUCH AN IDIOT!!!
Chris: Let me explain!
Mercury: YOU CAN'T EXPLAIN THAT!!!
Chris: I STILL HAVE THE RING.
Rai: THAT'S A GOod...what?
Chris: I gave him a fake. (reveals the real ring on his hand) All because I don't want it doesn't mean that I won't keep it.
Moon: Well, sorry Chris.
Lita: Yeah, sorry you KEPT IT! Shocking everyone, she grabbed Chris and threw him to the ground. At the same time, an energy barrier appeared around the 2, forming a dome. Lita then transformed into Sailor Jupiter.
Chris: Lita, what are you DOING?
Raivian(who appeared in the dome): she is one of us now! You think we were going to fall for the fake ring. Well, you are mistaken. Jupiter, he is all yours!
Jupiter: Thank you!
MARS CELESTIAL FIRE SURROUND!
VENUS CRESSENT MOON BEAM!
Both attacks simply bounced off the barrier.
Jupiter: Don't bother with it, you will never get through! When we are done with this kid, you all will be next.
Chris took advantage of this distraction to transform into Emerald Night.
Emerald: Now that's a way to talk to your friends.
Jupiter: They were never my friends! They used me for their own purposes. They charmed me with this "Princess of the Moon" and "Save the World" and all those other lies. Well NO MORE!
Emerald: And what about me? Of all the students at school, you were the only one who bothered to ask me if something was wrong. (he started to approach her)That was just yesterday, so it should be quite fresh in your memory.
Jupiter: You knew I was going to be suckered in by your fake concerns sooner or later. JUPITER THUNDERBOLT CRUSH!
Taken by surprise, the bolt hit him squarely in the chest and knocked him back. He laid there motionless. All the other scouts could do was watch in terror as Jupiter approached Emerald's motionless body. She bends over him.
Jupiter: That is what you get for lying to me.
Emerald: (weekly) It's no lie.
Jupiter simply slapped him across the face.
Jupiter: You need to learn that lying is wrong, and that killing is wrong.
All Emerald can do is stare at her, stare into her eyes, and cry.
Emerald: Denouncing your past is a crime. A Crime more severe then a lie, then murder. (she punched him in the face) To say that your entire past was wrong is a different kind of crime. (she punched him again) A crime against your own soul. A crime that condemns you to live a life that truly is fake.
Jupiter: You don't get the hint, do you?
Emerald: I have gotten the hint alright. You don't want to hear the truth, that whatever lies they told you were blinding you.
Raivian: Just finish him off Jupiter! you can do it!
Jupiter: I should.
Emerald: And also kill off your chances for truth.
Jupiter: All lies! Every word you say is a lie!
Emerald: You know what, THEY ARE LIES! You are NOT the Lita everyone befriended! NOT the Lita that shared her cooking masterpieces! NOT the Lita that would stand up for her friends no matter what! Most important, NOT the same Lita that I saw Just yesterday. For the Lita I am taking to, these are truths. You, you're just covering her ears!
Raivian: (approaching quickly) If you won't do it, I WILL! Step Aside!
Jupiter is grasping her head, then screams before fainting.
Emerald: (rolls over and gets on his knees) Lita! Are you alright?
Jupiter looked up into his eyes, smiled, and nodded.
Emerald: Don't worry Lita, I'll get him. (puts her head down and gets to his feat.)
Raivian: (draws his sword) Well, you are very good with words.
Emerald: No more talk! Let's get it on!
With that, a clash of swords rings the air of the night.
Mercury: That sword. It's what's generating that field. (yells to Emerald) BREAK THAT SWORD!
Raivian: (to emerald) You can't break this blade, try as you might!
Emerald: I said NO MORE TALK! (With that, he pushed Raivian away) VISION of FATE!
Raivian knocked the blast back at him with his sword, forcing Emerald to dive out of the way.
Raivian was on top of him before he could get back up.
Raivian: It's time to die! This one is for my sister!
JUPITER THUNDERBOLT CRUSH!
Raivian was knocked off balance and dropped the sword. Emerald looked toward Jupiter, who was one her knees, for a second before he got up and took Raivian's sword.
Emerald: Let's see how 'indestructible' your sword is.
He tossed it into the air and sliced it in two with his own. Almost instantaneously, the barrier disappeared.
Raivian: What!? this can't be!
Moon: Well it is! You toyed with the mind of our friend, and for that you're one thing..Moon-Dust! MOON CRESCENT RING EXTIRPATION!
VISION of FATE! The simultaneous attack from both Sailor Moon and Emerald Night did something rather strange. They merged into one single eyeball shaped bolt. Even Raivian noticed it before it hit.Serena: How is he doing?
Lita: Working on a shutout. his team is winning 3-0 right now.
Serena: You know if he will show up for the meeting after school?
Lita: He's promised to be there on time. Something you'll never do!
Serena:Oh really, watch me!
Serena arrived late at the meeting.
