Chapter 7 . Chapter 8 . EpilogeChapter 6: When Loyalty is Punished
She can't understand how she was able to run, when she couldn't even walk just a moment ago. Then again, she doesn't care. All she knew was that she had to get out, no matter how tired she felt. The staff she stole from the guard was nothing more then a moral booster, since all the other guars had them. While she didn't want to stop, she had to, knowing that she was almost cornered. She heard the footsteps of the guards in the hallway both ahead and behind her. She had one option left, and that was breaking the glass that prevented the water from drowning the complex. She shut her eyes and smashed the glass with her staff, knocked away from the water rushing in.
Chris: Still nothing Lita?
Lita: Can't remember a thing from my capture.
Amy: It's been a week. That fact you can't remember what happened when you were captured must not be an accident.
Rai: How is that possible?
Amy: I don't know.
Serena: Well, that is a helpful explanation.
Mena: What I want to know is why it's been so quiet lately.
Chris: Mind games, perhaps?
Serena: Mind Games? Why would they want to play those?
Chris: They are waiting for me to let my guard down, or get extremely paranoid.
Amy: You think they are watching you, or us for that matter?
Rai: Maybe.
Chris looked at his hand for a second. His ring was invisible to the others, and so was the light flashing from it. Rai recognized this behavior.
Rai: What is it?
Chris: Trouble at the harbor.
Lita: Lets go!
Serena: Wait a second, how can we tell that it isn't a trap?
Amy: We can't. But we have to check it out anyway.She was soaked, she was cold, but she was also alive, now in a position to take revenge against her former and very ungrateful master. She wound up at a very convenient place, outside a warehouse contaning dry clothing, and most importantly sunglasses. It would help disguise her eyes. Who knows how someone would react to whiteless eyes.
Brother Unknown: She WHAT!!!!
Guard: escaped sir. Three other guards are dead as a result of it.
Brother Unknown: How DID she get out?!
Guard2: Well, she surprised the guard and took his staff. When she smashed the window with it, she was able to swim away. The guards had their armor on and were weighted down.
Brother Unknown: We must retrieve her before she links up with our enemies.
Guard: But how, sir, can we do it without arousing the attention of the general population of Earth?
Male Voice: If I may intrude, I have an idea that will bring this scum back to where she belongs.
Brother Unknown: Satin, you are known for your arrogance.
Satin: I have backed up my words through my actions, Brother. I feel that I can continue this trend, given the opportunity to do so.
Brother Unknown: Really, well, if you can successfully kill this traitor...
Satin: Kill? I presumed that you wanted her alive.
Brother Unknown: She killed 3 of her fellows. That is punishable only by death via slow poison. ( a bottle of blue liquid appeared in his hands) You have been given the role of executioner.
Satin: Then execute her I will. (takes the poison)
Brother Unknown: You will also need these (shield and staff appeared in each hand) in case you encounter the Sailor Scouts and Emerald Night. Satin: Weather or not I encounter them, vengeance for the 3 innocent lives that were stolen will be achieved, and not a thing will stop me.Rai: Well, where is the trouble?
Chris: I..I..I can't explain this.
My ring is still flashing, even stronger then before, but I see nothing.
Amy: Maybe we should split up
Serena: Good idea. Mena, Rai, we'll go left, you guys go right. Signal as soon as trouble starts.
Lita: Got it.
This split didn't go unnoticed by Starn. He knew that he had to work quickly, he never went one on six before, and it's not something he wants to try now.
Chris: We have been walking for ten minutes and still nothing! Why?
Amy: Who knows? Maybe the trouble isn't really here.
Lita: But if the signal was so strong here, then why is there nothing happening?
Chris: (sitting on a bench) Who knows? All I know is that there is a rock in my shoe and it must be removed before I can continue walking. Lita: I'll go ahead. Amy: I'll stay back. Don't go too far.
Lita: I won't
Once Lita was a distance away, Chris looked up at Amy.
Chris: You have something to say, don't you?
Amy: What makes you say that?
Chris: The fact that you didn't go up with Lita. I'll admit it's merely a guess.
Amy: A good one at that.
Chris: Then say it. It looks like you have something interesting to tell me.
Amy: You like her, don't you?
Chris: You mean Lita?
Amy: Yes. I'll admit I peeked at you notebook yesterday.
Chris: And not even ask? How polite of you.
Amy: Well, I didn't think boys took their journals seriously.
Chris: You think you know me?
Amy: I did until yesterday.
Chris: Good to know we see eye to eye on that. As for Lita, does she know?
Amy: She may suspect, but that's all.
Chris: Seeking of which, we might want to catch up to her. We're on a mission, remember?
Amy: OK, but all I want to say is tell her. (Amy's communicator bleeps)
Lita: Guys, I found something, or someone I should say.Amy: You're the one that took the book from me!
Zoë: An action I now regret.
Chris: What led to this change anyway.
Zoë: take a look at the scar on my arm. With how quickly we heal, this should have been gone hours ago. I have had it for 3 days now.
Lita: Torture!
Zoë: Yes, and for what? Bringing him the advantage, basically handing the ring to him on a gold plate! I was the one who advertised his presence. I even broke criminals out of prisons, thinking that he would reform them! Now I see that I was just a tool for his sadistic plans.
Chris signaled to Lita that he wanted to talk to her for a second.
Chris: She is telling the truth.
Lita: What, your ring is a lie detector too?
Chris: Believe it or not, yes!
Lita: So if she is not the danger, what is?
Chris: I still don't know for sure, but I suspect that there is someone after her. (They walk back to Amy and Zoë) I have one question for you Zoë. If someone were to come after you, who would it be?
Zoë: Satin, captain of the guards.
Voice: Am I that predictable?
They all look up to see Satin standing on a branch of a tree. 2 armed guards are at the tree's foot.
Satin: I wonder what my master would say if I came home with Zoë dead and the ring in hand.
Chris: I doubt that you will hear what he has to say (transforms into Emerald Night, Amy into Sailor Mercury, and Lita into Sailor Jupiter)
Satin: We shall see. Attack!
Chris: Jupiter and I have left!
Zoë: I got the right!
Amy: So do I!
Jupiter: Lets do it!
Jupiter thunderbolt Crush disarmed the first guard, while Vision of Fate finished him off. Mercury Bubble Blast blinded the second guard. Admist the fog, Satin ambushed Zoë, smashing the bottle of poison over her scared arm. A second Vision of Fate finished of the second guard.
Emerald: Where is Satin?
Jupiter: He's gone!
Amy: Guys, Zoë is hurt!
Zoë: It's Kanison poison. There is no cure for it. Ah!
Jupiter: Hang on.
Zoë: No, I must resssss....Look out!
The warning came too late. Satin grabbed Emerald from behind, his staff across Emerald's neck.
Satin: Well, Zoë. When you drowned those men, you signed you death warrant. Hope you enjoy you final minutes. Oh, and when I return, I will gladly inform you of what my master thinks of me.
The 2 slowly fade away. Lita runs to the spot where they stood as the others arrive.
Moon: What happened?
Amy: They got Emerald!
Venus: They got WHAT!
Mars: It was a trap!
Amy: No it wasn't. It just happened! (to Zoë) Please tell us where the have taken him.
Zoë: Promise me that you give Brother Unknown what is coming to him.
Lita: YOU DAMN RIGHT IT'S A PROMICE!
Zoë started to fade. She could no longer speak. All she could do is point towards the water before fading into an endless sleep.Brother Unknown: Well Satin, you have done better then I expected. A very pleasant surprise.
Satin: But he doesn't have the ring. I don't know what he did with it but it's gone.
Brother Unknown: No worry. Eventually, the ring will come to us.
Satin: Sorry? I am not sure what you mean? Brother Unknown: The Sailor Scouts must have the ring, and chances are they will come here to try and save their friend. We must prepare for that.
Satin: I will make the arrangements.
