Secrets Revealed - Chapter 2 by Athena nikita@sgi.net Sorry that this one is so short. I hadn't realized that when I started chapter 3. But I think that I make up for it in chapter 3 so enjoy, Usual disclaimers apply. Athena *************************************************************************** Sailor Moon appeared at the battle at Ami's side. However, she was Sailor Mercury now and Sailor Moon scared her by showing up at her side declaring, "It worked! I can't believe it!" "Goodness Sailor Moon, where did you come from? You scared the daylights out of me?" Mercury asked. "I teleported, Mercury and it worked!" Both girls were so excited that they almost missed the large scissors that the youma had thrown at each of them. They both screamed as they jumped out of the way at the last second. "What the hell is that?" Sailor Moon asked. But no one answered her as the youma that resembled a large gardening tool. Sailor Moon decided to try another new move that she had been working on. She'd Xena do it many times and had tried it once or twice herself and since Xena was the coolest thing since Sailor V, it just had to work. So letting out a Xena like cry (another thing that she had been practicing),she ran directly to the youma, and when she was about 10 feet in front of the youma she staked her glaive staff directly into the ground and practically pole vaulted herself into it, plowing it down. However, she didn't land as gracefully as Xena. Instead, she kept right on going, flying in the air, with her glaive still clutched in her small hands until finally gravity won and she came crashing to the ground in a heap. "Uff!" she mumbled as her body bounced off the ground. she thought as she laid there stunned for a moment. Everyone was stunned, including Tuxedo Mask, who had arrived on the scene just in time to witness Sailor Moon's 'heroic' stunt. However, it cost him. The youma didn't stay stunned as long as everyone else and unleased another barage of scissors at the group. Everyone was able to avoid them, except him. Once hit him directly in the shoulder and he screamed with pain. His scream brought Sailor Moon out of her stunned state. As quick as she could manage, she got up and ran over to Tuxedo Mask. The scissor had disintegrated by now and TM laid there shaking. White hot anger poured over Sailor Moon as she looked at her fallen love. "That's it pal! You're moon dusted! Crescent Moon Glaive....DESCTRUCTION!" and in a flash of silver, the youma turned to dust. When Sailor Moon turned back to Tuxedo Mask he was gone.
