Queen Metallia sat on her throne of dark crystal, watching Zoisite’s progress in her orb. She bared her fangs in a grimace when Ami henshined.
“Blast, Zoisite was too late,” she said, eyes blazing. “She has taken on her true identity………he will pay dearly for this failure……” She growled deep in her throat, and the remaining three generals who still knelt by her feet trembled slightly, but kept their eyes on the ground and their posture rigid. Metallia drummed her clawed fingertips on the arm of the throne, glaring into the orb.
*Zoisite, do you hear me?* She said telepathically, sending the thought like a knife into Zoisite’s mind. *You have failed me Zoisite.* The words grated in his mind like a rusty file on metal, and he shrunk away as if trying to escape their source. *But you still have a chance to redeem yourself. Serenity and the other senshi are as yet unaware of this new development, and if you destroy her now she will be of no threat to us. Do not fail me again Zoisite, or you will find the consequences not to your liking.* She sent him a wave of her power to augment his own, then closed off the mental connection.
“Do not worry my Queen, I will not disappoint you….” Zoisite said under his breath, eyes glowing red with his new strength. He looked at Sailor Mercury who stood defiantly below him. His mouth curled into a smug grin. “Well well well, so the legends are true. There is a fifth sailor senshi.”
“They are indeed true. I am the fifth senshi, and you will regret that you ever laid eyes on me!” Mercury shouted, filling herself with her planet’s energy. The attack formed itself in her mind, and she was granted the knowledge of how to use it. “Shabon Spray!” she shouted, flinging a wall of bubbles at him. Zoisite chuckled. “I think not…” he said, and extending his hand created a wall of blackness that dispelled the bubbles. “You’ll have to do better than that to match my power!” He flung another beam of black energy at her, but this time she flipped out of the way and it hit David’s desk, reducing it to splinters and shards of metal. She landed lightly in a crouch and looked up at him with eyes that burned with hurt and anger.
“I don’t know what has happened to you Zoisite, but I cannot allow you to go on as you are. This breaks my heart…” she said softly, standing up, “But I have no choice.” Extending her arms to either side in a gesture of invocation, she called up all the power her planet had, forming a massive orb of swirling blue energy before her.
Metallia gasped at what she saw in her orb. “No! This is impossible! She has only just learned to use her powers, but she is using her ultimate attack? It can’t be!” She threw the orb angrily to the side, and it disappeared just before it hit the wall. She stood up and addressed the three generals.
“Kunzite! Jadeite! Nephrite! Go to Zoisite and bring him back here! Even with the added strength of my own energy he will not be able to counter that attack. We cannot lose a soldier so early in the battle! GO!”
“Yes, my queen,” the three said in unison, and immediately disappeared. Metallia looked for a moment into the now-empty throne room, then with a flick of her wrist called up the orb once more.
“I will not be defeated so easily, little girl…” she growled, gazing at the determined face of the fifth guardian senshi.
