*Theme song: Dare, by Stan Bush*

Angel: Let me get this straight: You want us to hand over the Silver Crystal to you?

Doomsday: Yes.

Angel: And what kind of heroin are you smoking to think that we'll hand over to you, an evil demon, the most powerful item in this Kingdom?

Doomsday: I do not expect you to merely hand it over. I expect you to die slow, painful deaths as I torture each one of you in a variety of horrible manners, while I laugh as I hold the Silver Crystal in front of your faces.

The Titans glared at Doomsday. Serenity looked around her at the unconscious Inner and Outer Soldiers who had been knocked out by a Hollow One, a demon that Doomsday had released that Sailor Angel had destroyed.

Asteroid: You talk too much.

Cephiros: Might I recommend that we take care of this pathetic demon and then retire to the coffee shop?

Angel: Gladly. HAND OF DESTINY!!!

Sailor Angel's hand glowed a bright gold, and shot a white and gold energy beam at Doomsday, who shot out three tendrils from behind his back and all three sliced into the beam, distorting it before it could reach Doomsday.

Cephiros: CEPHIROS VALIANT CHARGE!!!

Asteroid: ASTEROID SHOT!!!

Love: CRESCENT HEART CRUSH!!!

Moonshine: MOONSHINE MIRROR!!!

A flaming, running woman shot out of Sailor Cephiros' ring, multiple asteroids blasted out of Asteroid's finger, five identical pink hearts appeared out of nowhere and slammed into Doomsday, and Moonshine's staff changed into a mirror that reflected the light of the moon at Doomsday in a concentrated beam. Immediately, five tendrils lashed out at the crescent heart crush, slicing all of them apart, another tendril deflected each asteroid that came at him, and Doomsday took the brunt of the Valiant Charge and Mirror blast, barely feeling the hits.

Doomsday: Impudent Sailor Nothings.

Doomsday raised up his hands and shot out green beams of energy at the Titans and Neo-Queen Serenity, blasting into them all. They all screamed as they slowly faded into unconsciousness from the pain.

Nephlite: She is going to die...

Reuisu: Nephlite?

Reuisu was in a black void, with an angelic Nephlite standing before him.

Nephlite: Do not blame the one that created all.

Reuisu: What are you talking about? What's happening?

Reuisu slowly awoke along with the other Titans and Neo-Queen Serenity. Standing before them was Doomsday.

Doomsday: Ah, Sailor Pathetics, you have awakened.

The group all realized that they were out of their transformations. Looking around them, they saw metallic crates and a mechanical device attached to an energy conduit behind Doomsday.

Michelle: Where are we?

Serenity: A storage facility within Crystal Tower. That conduit over there is a power regulator; it relays power to other sections of the Tower.

Doomsday: Yes, and that device attached to it is a bomb.

The Titans narrowed their eyes at Doomsday. Michelle was examining the device with her own eyes, trying to see if there was any way she could see to disarm it. The bomb had a few controls on it, but they didn't seem to be helpful.

Reuisu: So you're going to kill us so that you can get the silver crystal on your own?

Doomsday: Not all of you. Only your Titans shall die, you and Neo-Queen Serenity shall accompany myself to the Silver Crystal.

Reuisu: HEAVENLY ANGEL-

Doomsday shot out a tendril and wrapped it around Serenity's throat.

Doomsday: Just try it, angel boy! I'll snap her neck!

Reuisu clenched his fist. He, Doomsday, and Neo-Queen Serenity began to walk over to a nearby service elevator. They walked inside, and the door shut behind them. Chris and Miya ran over to it directly afterwards and tried to pry it open and they hit it.

Chris: Shouldn't we just transform and try to blast our way through it?

Michelle: No. The explosion could damage the elevator Reuisu is in, and he could get killed along with our Queen.

Miya: And we're not much better in here, either.

Lucy: Michelle, what happens to Crystal Tower if that bomb goes off next to a power conduit?

Michelle: Nothing major. Power will be cut off in several sectors, but the main problem will be the explosive force of the explosion, which will most likely burn our skin off.

Chris: Well, you're a ray of sunshine. Can you defuse the bomb?

Michelle: My expertise are with computers, science, and time travel, not bomb defusing.

Miya: What about freezing time? Buying us time to get out?

Michelle: Doomsday seems to have taken my time staff.

All of a sudden, the Titans heard the sound of metal tearing against something to the side of them! They looked to their right side, and saw Azurewrath cutting in between the separation point of what looked like two walls. However, the walls slid to the side, revealing that it was actually an elevator! An elevator that Tyrael stood in.

Tyrael: Come! There's not much time!

The Titans ran into the elevator, except for Lucy. Lucy looked over at a control panel next to the power conduit, and an idea suddenly got into her head!

Lucy: That's it! I know how to defuse the bomb!

Michelle: Lucy, come on!

Chris: We don't have time for this!

Tyrael: This elevator shaft is disused, Lucy! It took great amounts of effort to get it up here!

Lucy: Don't worry! I have the situation under control!

All of a sudden, the doors slid shut, and the Titans began their descent down.

Reuisu clenched his fists and looked at his right hand. On it were three rings with different colored crucifixes on them. Reuisu had asked to borrow them from Lucy's collection, believing them to have holy energy that could enhance his own powers. He knew that holy energy burned demons, and was hoping for the same effect here.

Reuisu: So why am I on this trip?

Doomsday: To die personally and in front of me.

Reuisu: I think not!

Reuisu prepared himself as fast as he could as he slammed his ringed hand into the cloaked face of Doomsday. He pulled back after he did it, pain shooting through his hand as he felt like he had just punched a cement wall with his bare hands. Doomsday clutched his face in pain, yelping. The holy energy that came from faith had burned into his face, and in confusion, he teleported out of the elevator and dropped Michelle's time staff onto the floor of the elevator. Reuisu immediately looked back up through the glass top of the elevator towards the area where they had left. He activated his communicator.

Reuisu: Titans, this is Reuisu! Are you all right?!

Michelle: Tyrael found us using a secondary elevator; we're almost down to the ground floor.

Reuisu and Neo-Queen Serenity sighed in relief.

Michelle: But Lucy didn't come with us! She came up with some idea to stop the bomb, and ran back into the room!

The two of them gasped and looked back up at the room.

Reuisu: Oh sodding hell.

Lucy smiled as she worked at the control panel, beginning to channel power from the bomb using the power conduit, basically using it to disable any power in the bomb.

Lucy: And they say Michelle and Ami are geniuses.

All of a sudden, Doomsday teleported inside the room, still clutching his face in pain. The pain slowly died down as he looked ahead of him and saw Lucy at the control panel. She turned around to face him.

Doomsday: Get away from that!

Doomsday shot out two tendrils at Lucy, who jumped out of the way. However, the tendrils whipped into the console, destroying the interface. The power transfer from the bomb stopped.

Doomsday: Well, at least I'll have gotten one of you Titans. Tell your God that I send my regards.

Doomsday teleported away. Lucy gaped and looked back at the destroyed console.

Lucy: Well, now I'll never know if I was right.

Reuisu pressed every button on the elevator control, trying to get back up and rescue Lucy. However, it did not do anything to help him accomplish that goal. All of a sudden, he looked up at the room where they had been in as a great fire blasted out of it, shuddering the whole tower. The power for the elevator cut off as it stopped in between floors. Reuisu's eyes dilated as he knew the explosion had come from the room Lucy had undoubtedly been in.

Reuisu looked back down at his hand with the rings on it. He then realized that the impact from the rings on Doomsday's face had broken the rings. And for one brief moment, Reuisu believed that he had shattered the Princess of Rings by shattering her rings.

A Titan was dead.
