*Theme song: Dare, by Stan Bush*

Tyrael: Sailor Ayari and Sailor Argent are one and the same.

Reuisu: But that's not possible! During Kingdom Come, we categorized the powers of over 5,000 Sailors, and not one of them had metamorphic powers.

Tyrael: It is true; there are no Sailors that have changeling capabilities.

Reuisu: There!

Tyrael: Argent is not transforming into them, she becomes them. Remember, Argent hunted around the Universe after the events with Chaos to drain the life energy of one Sailor and transfer it into herself. She absorbed their powers and abilities. To face Sailor Argent is to face an entire army of Sailors. Sailor Ayari was a true Sailor, but she is dead now.

Reuisu took in this information.

Reuisu: How do you know all of this?

Tyrael: Heaven briefed me on all of it, but I was under orders not to tell you all. Since Argent's finally made her move, it means I can tell you all of this.

Reuisu: Then we have to find her and stop her!

Reuisu pulled out his transformation stick.

Tyrael: There's more! She's working with Charsi!

Reuisu's eyes got bright and he stared at Tyrael.

Reuisu: What!?

Tyrael: They've been working together for a while now. After Argent was defeated, she went looking for allies and found Charsi. They made a deal: Argent would infiltrate the Titans and find places where they could easily be kidnapped. Then the Titans would be kidnapped by Demons and brought to the Barbarian Town of Harrogath, where they would kill them.

Reuisu: Come on, I'll transform and we'll go to Harrogath!

Christine Finnethy first sensed some kind of trouble when she realized that someone was kissing her on the lips while she was waking up. When she totally awoke, she saw that the person kissing her was in fact Sailor Ayari. She pulled back, realizing that she was restrained by chains. Ayari giggled and stood up over the chained up Christine.

Ayari: Human females...

Ayari licked her lips.

Ayari: When I kiss them, they have a delightful taste. They're so delicate, so tender. Makes me want to tear their clothes off and screw them right here.

Christine gagged, not understanding what was happening, and tried to get the taste of having kissed a girl out of her mouth.

Ayari sauntered over to the upright Chris Allot, also in chains. She ran her hand up and down his chest.

Ayari: Of course, human males...

Ayari quickly brought her hand down and grabbed Chris' crotch. Chris gasped and gritted his teeth.

Ayari: They have their upsides.

Chris spit on Ayari's face. Ayari pulled back and wiped her face clean.

Ayari: Of course, they're as stubborn and piggish as most other males in the Universe.

Charsi: Frankly, sleeping with the enemy isn't the highest on our priority list.

Ayari: Of course, but it's nice to play with them.

The other Titans were awake, all of them quite pissed off.

Michelle: Ayari, what's going on?! Why have you betrayed us?!

Charsi: Naive, aren't they?

Ayari: Incredibly.

Sailor Ayari snapped her fingers, and the colors of her outfit and her appearance changed, matching that of Sailor Argent. The Titans gasped at this.

Anna: Tara?!

Argent: The one you call Tara doesn't exist. She never did.

Most of the Titans were confused by this revelation, but it made perfect sense to Chris.

Chris: You infiltrated us... Pretended to be Sailor Ayari... You did it all just to get at our life force energy and us!

Argent: On the nose, Chrissy-boy.

Lucy: But how is Charsi alive? I thought you killed her!

Charsi: Every bit of it was staged. She formed a tunnel of energy underneath me, and the bomb was just a smoke bomb. You were so easily deceived, you're much more stupid than I thought.

Voice: I must agree.

Charsi turned around and saw an old man, wearing black rags and a white cane, standing near the trap door that led to the room they were in.

Charsi: Ah, Nihlathak, what can I do for you?

Nihlathak: I'd like the money you promised me for keeping you here.

Charsi sighed and threw a bag of gold coins over to him. Nihlathak inspected it and smiled.

Nihlathak: Pleasure doing business with you ladies.

Nihlathak climbed up the ladder back to the building they were underneath. The Titans looked around themselves, looking for a way to escape. Each one tried to secretly reach for their transformational items, but found them all gone.

Chris: When Reuisu finds you, Argent...

Argent: Oh please! Your Sailor Angel is pathetic. Charsi and I are going back to Crystal Tokyo to take care of him and your precious love, Chrissy-boy.

Chris roared at that and tried to leap at them. The chains held him at bay. Charsi and Argent laughed. They walked over to a tabletop and grabbed electronic collars. They each took them and walked over to the Titans. Charsi put them on Anna, Christine, and Lucy. Argent put the other two on Chris and Michelle.

Anna: What are you doing?

Argent: These collars are bombs. If you attempt to remove them, they will detonate and kill you all. Is that understood?

The Titans glared at her.

Argent: Such weak creatures. I expected something more from the famous Titans.

Chris: You won't get away with this, Argent.

Argent: I already have! Now, Titans, go and meet your frozen deaths! JUBILOUS TELEPORATION!!!

Argent's hands glowed a bright green, and so did the Titans. They glowed some more, and then disappeared, leaving only the chains behind.

Argent: There, now let us go, Charsi. This Judas wishes to slay the others.

The cold rushed up and met with the skin of the Five Titans. Snow was quickly falling around them, and they were wearing summer clothes. They were free of the chains, but the cold was already getting to them from their tiredness.

Chris: We have to get out of here and warn Reuisu!

Michelle: I hate to disappoint you, but look!

Michelle was standing over a cliff. The other Titans walked over to her and looked at what she was pointing at. Down on the ground, the city of Harrogath was made up of villages and huts with no real form of technology. To make matters worse, the Titans were at the top of a mountain.

Lucy: GREAT! Just freaking great! How else can this day get worse...

A shrill sound of inhuman growling filled the air around the Titans. They all glared at Lucy.

Lucy: What? What did I do?
