All standard disclaimers apply – I don’t own Sailor Moon or any of the other characters related to the show. So this is a story I’m making up. Okay? The characters are the same and everything, but I have changes to what they do, say, etc – and some of the story is related in the future just so you know. -Sailor Galaxy (author) The Mysterious Stranger – Chapter 2 Outside the palace walls, some of the Dark Moon’s agents are down a smoky blue fire surrounding them; while some are standing with not a hint of being injured. In front of the agents are the Sailor Scouts. Some of them are down, cuts all over their bodies. “I hope they’re all right,” Pluto says quietly to herself while the Dark Moon’s agents are attacking the rest of the Sailor Scouts. One by one Pluto watches them fall to the ground, severely wounded. Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune had all ready lost a lot of blood, and Sailor Venus was cut deeply in her right arm. All the other scouts were getting hurt trying to defend eachother. If Pluto didn’t intervene soon, they may not have a change of winning this battle! Pluto’s POV: (AN – means Author’s note … and POV means Point of view. Just telling you guys incase you didn’t know all ready. ^_^;) I was talking to Sailor Galaxy and she was urgently trying to get me to transport over to the Sailor Scouts’ battle against the Dark Moon’s agents. As she was pushing me onward, I could easily tell that she didn’t think the Sailor Scouts could last much longer against the Dark Moon’s agents. They weren’t strong enough to destroy the dozens of them that had appeared out of nowhere. I could clearly see the cold sweat of anxiety across her forehead – anxiety for me to get back to the Crystal Palace. As I transported there, I could see the fear in Neo-Queen Serenity’s eyes, the terrified look on Small Lady’s face, like she had seen a ghost, and behind them I could see King Endy, so handsome, working on protecting the castle and the two most important people in his life, Neo-Queen Serenity and Small Lady. (AN – I’ve read that Pluto has a thing about King Endy, and if you don’t agree with me, shut up because this is my fanfic and I can write whatever I want in it. Ha! ^_^;) As I rushed out onto the battlefield, I noticed how badly hurt everyone there was. I couldn’t believe it! I was almost too late! Uranus and Neptune were on the ground, next to eachother, gashes all over their bodies. Venus was kneeling in front of them, holding her right arm. Her hand was all red and sticky…although I really didn’t want to see all the details. I ran over to Venus, tore off my silk hair tie, and wrapped it around her arm. “This should help the bleeding slow down…” I said to her. I rushed over to where the other five scouts were standing, trying to block the Dark Moon’s agents’ attacks. “Pluto’s here!” I yelled out. Sailor Moon turned around. She smiled at me, and started to say she was glad that I was finally here, when all of a sudden a huge blast came at her. “Sailor Moon, look out!” I yelled. I ran up to her, and pushed her out of the way. There I was, the blast coming right for me at a great speed, and I had nowhere to run to. The attack hit me, and I was falling, falling like there was no bottom to the ground where I lay. As I lay there, I could hear Sailor Moon yelling out ‘Moon Crystal Power!’ The noises were getting quieter and quieter; I could barely hear Sailor Mars yelling out to Sailor Moon that if she used the Moon Crystal in her condition, it would kill her. I was still falling, like I was falling from the top of the sky, down to my death. One of the last things I heard was Sailor Jupiter yelling out something about Queen Serenity, and then the Dark Moon’s agents screaming out in pain. I was drifting away from everyone, everything I knew, everything I loved. It grew darker, colder. I tried opening my eyes, but all I could see was darkness, just darkness. Wow, a cliffhanger! Please tell me how you like this new chapter. I’m really sorry that I didn’t get chapter 2 out sooner, so I’m going to go straight to work on Chapter 3! Chapter 3 will be the last for today, I hope you like it! Please email me at ktqt@zoomtown.com and tell me what you think of it! -Sailor Galaxy
