*Theme song: Dare, by Stan Bush*

Angel: Come on... Come on...

The Titans were still running down the tunnel, trying to catch up with Baal. Sailor Angel held in his hands a small, portable laptop that he had managed to acquire using Sailor Moonshine's time staff.

Crystal: So, isn't this Mt. Arreat place like, a very long distance away? Like more near Europe than Japan?

Astra: Yes.

Crystal: So how does Baal manage to get to it in one hour, and running, no less!

Moonshine: Somehow, the caverns have been temporally charged. We're moving a lot faster than we think we are.

Crystal: Then shouldn't we be like, aging a lot faster, too?

Moonshine: The temporal particles he's imbued the cavern with are only affecting the speeds at which we run and the distance we are from Mt. Arreat and the World Stone, not our actual DNA.

Asteroid: Reuisu, what are you doing?

Angel: Got it!

The image on the small laptop showed a 3-D image of a head, more ovular than normal, colored red, and with a mask over its eyes and nose.

Face: Who are you?

Angel: Oracle, it's me, Reuisu!

Oracle: You're Reuisu? My Mom told me once about a Reuisu. Prove you're him.

Angel: A new Oracle, eh? I shouldn't have kept out of contact...

Oracle: Proof, please?

Angel: Barbara Hannens of New York City, USA.

Oracle paused.

Oracle: You really are him, eh? Mom told me quite some stories...

Angel: I'm sure she did.

Oracle: Like how you betrayed the Titans and the Sailors for one Sailor Mars.

Angel: That was a long time ago, I've made amends with the Titans and the other Sailors. Now, we need your help. You're the only one who can do this for us.

Oracle: What do you need?

Angel: I need you track down an old ally of ours...

Baal's new, organic form was pumped with adrenaline as he ran on four insect-like legs down the tunnel, very close to the World Stone, the object that would enable him to release Hell on Earth. However, he knew the Titans were in quick pursuit.

Baal: Damn them, damn them all! They killed my Brothers, Diablo and Mephisto. I swore revenge for them. I am the last of the Prime Evils, the middle child. I am also the most powerful! I refuse to be defeated by the Sailors again!

Baal stopped briefly, his hands glowing.

Baal: The Dark Titans must've been defeated easily, but I still need more time!

Baal's hands began to glow with a brighter light, and seven skeletons came out of the ground. However, their hands were glowing as well. They also seemed to be wearing different helmets on their skulls.

Baal: Go! Distract the Titans for as long as possible!

Love: Do you really think he can get here in time?

Angel: If he can, he's a miracle worker. And miracles are what we're going to need to defeat Baal before he can open the World Stone. Up ahead, look!

Up ahead of the Titans was the group of skeletons. Their hands charged with energy, they fired several energy bolts at the Titans, who quickly evaded.

Angel: Skeletal Mages! They've got a little more power than normal Skeletons, but can be defeated just as easily! Ready, everyone?

Moonshine: MOONSHINE MIRROR!!!

The light of the moon reflected off of Michelle's time staff, now turned into a mirror. The light focused into a beam that vaporized one of the mages.

Angel: HAND OF DESTINY!!!

Sailor Angel's right hand glowed brightly, firing a white and gold energy beam into another mage, vaporizing it, as well.

Cephiros: CEPHIROS VALIANT CHARGE!!!

Out of Cephiros' ring came a flaming running woman. The attack slammed into another mage, blowing it up and scattering the bones.

Love: CRESCENT HEART CRUSH!!!

Five identical pink hearts came out of nowhere, and instead of forming a box around one of the skeletons, they all just slammed into it at the same time, smashing it into powder.

Asteroid: ROCK CRUMBLE!!!

The ground beneath another one of the mages shook and crumbled, and suddenly a huge chunk of ground rose up and slammed the mage into the ceiling, crushing it.

Crystal: CRYSTAL CRUSHER BEAM!!!

Sailor Crystal clapped her hands together and quickly brought them apart, and a ball of white energy flew out and slammed into one of the mages, crystallizing it immediately.

Life: KEE-YAH!

Knowing her attack would take too long, Sailor Life merely jumped into the air and flew down into the mage, kicking it in the skull and knocking it off.

The Seven Titans breathed deeply from the rather quick battle they had just fought.

Love: Well, that was easy.

Cephiros: Come on, we have to keep going!

Voice: Wait!

The Titans turned around and saw the Dark Titans quickly approaching them.

Moonshine: The Dark Titans!

Angel: Ready yourselves! We must make this as quick as possible!

Asteroid: ASTEROID SHOT!!!

Sailor Asteroid launched a barrage of mini-asteroids out at the Dark Titans, who quickly ducked down and evaded the shots.

Mimas: MIMAS PUN-

Prometheus: Wait! Stand down, Mimas!

Angel: It's a trick!

Hyperion: NO! Titans, we surrender! We are not here to make battle with you.

Cephiros: Explain yourselves!

Tyrael flew out from behind the Dark Titans.

Tyrael: I have convinced the Dark Titans to join our side.

Love: How?

Tyrael: Through your Guardian, Sailor Love.

The Titans thought for a moment. They all quickly understood.

Enceladus: The Archangel has taught us about love and caring. We don't want to work for someone who would deny us the chance to experience these things.

Angel: Welcome to the side of light, then! Now, quickly, we must keep-

All of a sudden, a rather loud roar interrupted them. The group all turned to see large, hairy demons approaching. They stood nine feet tall. Their heads were small, and their legs stubby, but their arms were large and they looked like they could tango with a grizzly bear quite easily.

Angel: Gargantuan Beasts. Baal's not letting us have any kind of rest, here.

Tethys: Allow us! You may rest, while we deal with them! Titans, ATTACK!

The Dark Titans ran out in front of the Titans, who stared at them as they engaged in battle with the three Gargantuan Beasts.

Angel: They're really serious about helping us, aren't they?

Tyrael: I believe so. We need all the help we can get, anyway.

Angel: Which reminds me, I've put in a call to an old friend of ours. With luck, he'll be here soon.

Mimas: MIMAS PUNCH!!!

Sailor Mimas' fists glowed with red energy, and she jumped into the air and flew down, punching into one of the Gargantuans, punching a hole straight through it. It still stood, though.

Tethys: TETHYS AQUA WAVE!!!

Sailor Tethys crossed her arms across her chest and head, then moved them quickly to her sides. When she moved them, a blue wave of energy shout out into the Gargantuan Beast with the hole in it and vaporized.

Enceladus: ENCELADUS ETNA CRUSH!!!

Sailor Enceladus' hands glowed with brown energy, and he clapped them together. Two walls of the tunnel came out and slammed into another Gargantuan Beast. It stood, dazed for a moment.

Prometheus: PROMETHEUS FIRE!!!

All of a sudden, Sailor Prometheus caught on fire, and ran very quickly into the dazed Gargantuan Beast. The Beast quickly exploded from the fire, and Sailor Prometheus stood on the other side of him, not a scorch.

Hyperion: HYPERION LANCE!!!

Sailor Hyperion's lance glowed with a black intensity, and he jumped up and slammed it through the last Gargantuan Beast's head. The Gargantuan fell to the ground, dead.

Angel: I think they'll do nicely.
