First off, I need to mention some name changes since the last story: Ken- = Keiichi, MK` = Chibi``,
Aaron-san = Aar0n, Fuu-hime = Moonlgt, AiZi = KTsYuJa, and DeathWing = Kamidake`. Also, I'd like to
make note that there are less people in this fic than in the previous ones. I did this because not that
many people come in anymore, and I would also like to include some new people
I haven't written a whole lot about.
Finally, I've written one about Garret a.k.a. SailorMau. This fic is a spin-off
of the last one Under a Full Moon so be sure to read that one first. All the information
on weapons I had gathered are from the two places mentioned at the end of the story. Many thanks to them!!
This one goes out to Garret and the girl he's dedicated to. Enjoy!
The girl stumbled over a root and grabbed hold of a tree to steady herself. She bent for a
moment to quietly puke in the grass. After her sickness had passed, she continued on
through the woods. Up ahead, the forest was clearing. The girl, in her haste to get to the
end of the trees, tripped and fell forward. When she looked up, bright harsh sunlight hit
her face in showers. She winced at the brightness and cowered for a moment. Doubtful
thoughts ran through her mind. If anyone was looking, they would have rushed to her aid.
A pitiful site she portrayed with her bare, pale skin and arms wrapped defensively around
her middle section.
After a moment the strange girl got up, tossing her golden shoulder-length hair defiantly.
There was a reason why she was chosen, and it was because she had the strongest will and
the gift of true sight out of all the women. She looked around the clearing. At the far end
was a building of some sort. She immediately recognized its red brick walls, low balcony,
and two windows. She skirted the lake on the far left side to avoid being seen by anyone
who wanted to enjoy a good view. The girl stole up to the side of the building and
attempted to walk all the way around it. However, when she got up to the side where the
front should have been, there was nothing there. Puzzled, she walked back to the side
where the balcony was. She listened intently, but of the voices floating out to her from the
open window, she didn't hear the one she was sent to find.
The golden beauty closed her eyes for a moment to clear her mind. She saw a desk in the
middle of chaos. Large groups of people were buzzing around. She still did not see the
one man she was looking for. Using her mind, she went through the various nick tags
lying on the desk and found his--SailorMau. He had not come for it yet. Realizing this,
she knew she would have to wait. However, her body didn't seem up to it, and she
thought she would be ill again. Concentrating, she looked for a comfortable place to stay.
Once again, her mind's eye searched. She found a quiet, dark spot that seemed to belong
to the one she had to find. Even more conveniently, it was in the building on the side she
was standing at. The girl made herself transparent and melted through the wall. She
clumsily climbed into the hot tub and laid down to rest for the first time in a long time.
SailorMau yawned loudly hoping to give the two men who were in a heated argument a
hint. The two men, not noticing, continued with their verbal fight.
"At least I can write a script!" one man threw in the other's face.
"Oh yeah? Well I have a bot!" the other one replied. The two men were twitching with
anger as they both got off at the L floor. SailorMau looked over at the last companion in
the elevator. The man had his hands in his pockets, and he seemed to be concentrating on
something.
"Clearly disturbed," SailorMau thought to himself. When the elevator 'dinged', the strange
man got off at the R floor.
"#Rapesex," he threw over his shoulder at SailorMau. SailorMau cringed and hit the
Door Close button. The elevator resumed until it stopped at the S floor. SailorMau
stepped out into the hallway filled with doors. When he came to #SailorFriends, he turned
the knob knowing that it was a portal that would take him to the #SailorFriends chat
room.
SailorMau took a look around the room noticing that it had been cleaned up since the
previous night. The twinkie cream was gone, and the furniture had been replaced. It was
early in the morning so SailorMau found himself alone. "I might as well get some hot tub
time in," he said aloud. He walked past the kitchen to the far right corner. It was his
corner; it even had a plaque that read, "Garret no Kado." SailorMau touched each
individual letter in a special combination so that the wall sprang back providing an opening
large enough for him to get through. He cursed for a moment before finding the light
switch. Turning it on, he looked into the mirror to his left. "As gorgeous as ever," he
stated. He began to shed his shirt while turning the corner. When he was free of the shirt,
he looked at the hot tub.
A golden haired girl was napping inside it. Her head was lolled to one side, and her arms
were wrapped around herself from the cold of being naked. SailorMau's eyes roamed over
her pleasant expressioned face, her bare shoulders, and back to her bruised lips. She was
now waking up with an endearing yawn. Little by little, her purple eyes were revealed to
SailorMau as she fixed her awakening gaze on him.
"He said that he'd be here!" Rini4 whined to her friend. She was gripping a pillow to her
chest while staring anxiously at the door.
"Then he'll be here," Alita reassured Rini4. "What time did he say he'd come?"
"Over twenty minutes ago!" Rini4 stressed. Alita decided to ask the bots who had come
in and out of the channel. The list the bots produced included SailorMau who had come
in at seven-thirty that morning--over an hour ago. "Where could he be? He isn't hiding is
he?"
"Calm down," Alita soothed, "We'll find him since he's supposed to be in here." The two
spent the next thirty minutes looking under couches and in cabinets. Strangely, they found
no sign of SailorMau. Rini4 who was looking near SailorMau's corner suddenly shouted
out to Alita.
"Maybe he's in his hot tub! I'll knock!" Rini4 promptly knocked but received no answer.
"Garret, if you're in there, I'm leaving now!"
Alita, on her way to SailorMau's secret room, noticed something out of the corner of her
eye. She ran to the balcony. She was in time to see SailorMau and a strange girl walking
into the Undefined Territory.
"GARRET!!" Alita yelled out.
"Did you hear something, Cirasen?" SailorMau looked back toward the chat room.
Cirasen quickly created an invisible wall to block sound.
"No, you must be imagining things," she replied. She smiled sweetly at him, and he took
her word for it. Deciding to test her brainwash, she asked him, "What were you doing in
that building?" SailorMau thought for a moment.
"Actually, I don't quite remember. The Princess will be anxious to see me won't she?"
"Yes, she's been anxious to see you for months! You two are to be married soon. Then,
you can both enjoy a honeymoon back in San Francisco," the blond girl said to him. She
smiled evilly, and under her breath she added, "And we will be free at last."
Rini4 stared as the two progressed into the woods. Though she and Alita both shouted
after him, he seemed to be ignoring their cries. Jealous rage filled her thoughts, and she
told Alita, "I'm going after him! How dare he do this to me? Running after some strange
girl thinking I wouldn't notice. They're probably going for some secret rendezvous in the
woods!" Before Alita could stop her, Rini4 jumped over the balcony and flew over the
lake as to not lose time. When she reached the Undefined Territory, she had to walk
because she couldn't use her magic. Alita was left staring after her.
"Garret better know what he's doing. Somehow, though, that blond girl looked familiar..."
Alita pondered.
Rini4 followed their trail as discreetly as possible. She had to clench her teeth to be
patient. She knew that if she lost control for one moment, she wouldn't have the truth,
and the truth was what she wanted at this point. She had already talked herself into
preparing for the worst. If SailorMau was in love with another girl, she would except it.
She just wouldn't ever talk to him again. In her mind that was logical.
Long moments passed, and Rini4 was getting more and more uneasy. She was above
them now, in the cover of the trees. She thanked her lucky stars that she had learned how
to tree climb when she was a little toddler. The two had stopped to rest for a moment and
drink from the stream. Even if Rini4 was in an envious stage, she wasn't blind enough to
think that the girl was interested in him. In fact, the girl didn't show any signs of
inclination towards SailorMau. If they were trying to get away from everyone for a
secret getaway, why hadn't they been holding hands? Why hadn't they kissed or fooled
around? It had been almost an hour since they entered the Undefined Territory, and their
excursion didn't seem near an end. Why would they walk so deep into the woods? The
blond girl at that moment decided to speak, and Rini4 found her answer.
"You will be married tonight, Garret. You know that your job is to impregnate the
Princess right? So that you can have many happy children?"
"Yes, I'm looking forward to it and the honeymoon in San Francisco," SailorMau replied.
Rini4's eyes grew wide as Cirasen knew they would. She jumped down from her perch in
the trees to land in front of Cirasen.
"Hold it right there! My Garret is not going to impregnate anybody! Especially not your
'Princess.' I recognize you. You're one of the ones that came last night--the ones that
wanted our chat room. Well, we beat you once, and we can do it again!" Rini4 shouted at
Cirasen. As she said the words, she remembered that this was the Undefined Territory
and that magic wouldn't work here--at least not for her. Rini4 turned to SailorMau
standing beside Cirasen. "Garret! We've gotta get out of here! You do remember me,
don't you?"
"Kat..." A puzzled expression crossed SailorMau's face as he started to remember.
Cirasen, realizing that she was losing her ticket to freedom, hit Rini4 with a burst of light.
Rini4 was sent straight into a tree. As she was getting up, Cirasen threw a net around her
that took her up into the tree tops.
"Let the vultures get you!" Cirasen shouted at Rini4. "They will have more mercy than I
could give." Then, she hypnotized SailorMau once more into believing that he was to
marry the Princess. Rini4, able to see SailorMau, watched him walk away.
"Garret..." she whispered. The vultures high up ahead were the only ones that answered
her silent plea.
Keiichi arrived in the chat room at an earlier hour than his usual. He looked at the watch
on his hand that read 10:30. He sighed thinking that he was all alone. However, the sight
of Alita pacing nervously proved him wrong. She looked up when Keiichi entered and ran
over to him.
"Ken! Ken! Something's happened," Alita began.
"Slow down. Tell me exactly what it is," Keiichi said while pulling her over to a couch.
She took a deep breath and related the story of Rini4, SailorMau, and the mysterious
blond girl.
"Rini was supposed to meet Garret in here this morning. He was late or so we thought.
We looked all over for him. When we finally found him, he was walking with some
strange girl into the Undefined Territory. He didn't even answer our calls! All I know is
that I've seen that girl before, but she's not one of us. Rini4 went after him, but that was
over an hour ago! She hasn't returned yet!"
"Hm... Do you think something's happened to her?" Keiichi asked.
"I know something has! Garret wouldn't hurt her, though," Alita said frantically.
"Try to remember who that girl was. Describe her to me."
Alita thought for a few moments before recognition dawned on her. "Aha! She had blond
shoulder-length hair. She looked to be about eighteen or nineteen. She was too far away
for me to see her in detail, but she looked... well, strange." Keiichi, picturing the girl as
Alita described her, came to a similar conclusion.
"The people last night!" they both exclaimed in unison.
"Ken, if she was one of the Naked group, then Garret and Rini are in trouble for sure!
What could they possibly want with him anyway? Are they holding him for ransom?"
Alita asked while getting up to pace.
"I don't know, Alita. Last night, they wanted our room to get to the Real World. It's
possible they know that our room is some kind of portal to another dimension. Rini might
be in danger because she stands in the girl's way as Garret's girlfriend. We need to find
her, and help her."
At that moment two giggly girls entered the chat room. "Oh, come on, MB! He's not that
good-looking, is he?" Chibi`` asked her friend.
"YES! He is!" Moonlgt shouted enthusiastically. The two girls' faces dropped when they
saw a grave Keiichi and Alita. "Uh, is something wrong?"
"Yes. Rini4 and SailorMau are in the Undefined Territory," Keiichi put in his blunt way.
"So? Garret will get an earful from Rini's dad, that's all," Chibi`` grinned. Moonlgt burst
out laughing.
"No, it's not that. We think they're in danger," Alita related the story again.
"Well, why didn't you follow Rini?" Moonlgt questioned. Keiichi scolded her for her
blindness.
"If it's a boyfriend/girlfriend conflict, then the two should work it out by themselves.
Besides, Alita didn't know who the girl was until now," Keiichi reasoned. Moonlgt looked
sheepish.
"Well, I wasn't blaming you, Alita. This chat room has been busy lately, that's all."
"Who cares?!? Let's just go after them! Rini is in trouble. I know it!" Chibi`` exploded in
her fiery way. The four agreed and set off into the Undefined Territory with only a knife
and some wooden staffs they found in the emergency closet of the chat room. Keiichi
took the time to write a hasty note for the bots to deliver:
Dear regulars of #SF,
We have trouble once again. Alita, Moonlgt, Chibi`` and I have set off into the Undefined
Territory to find Rini4 and SailorMau. We think this may have to do with the Naked
group that came in last night. If we're not back in two hours, come and find us; we could
be in trouble.
Keiichi
The printout appeared in Davias' hands as he entered the chat room. He quickly read the
note and went into a shock. He wasn't there for the incident that happened the previous
night, but he had heard all about it. Davias sat down on the new green couch, and that
was where Elespeth found him when she entered a while later. She received the same
printout.
Not again! Why can't those people leave us alone? They're going to get their naked asses
kicked again!" Elespeth stated. Davias, coming out of his shock, greeted Elespeth with a
worried smile.
"I come here to get away from my stressful Real Life, and what do I get? More stress!"
"Yeah," Elespeth agreed, "but it makes for great adventures!" The two sat side by side
constantly checking the time.
"I hear vultures crying," Alita announced to the other members. The four stopped to
listen to what direction the vultures were crying from.
"We should follow those cries," Ken said not daring to mention why. Vultures were often
around a fresh kill. The four took off with their makeshift weapons toward the sound of
the birds of prey. When they arrived, they found a dissident Rini4 moaning with
impatience from the treetops. They spotted the net that she was held in.
"Oh c'mon, you chickens! If you're going to eat me, do it now! Always hovering about
and never nibbling at your prey... Take a bite out of me, damnit! I'm tasty!" Rini4 was
shouting at the vultures overhead. The four on the ground looked at each other quite
undone by Rini4's statements.
"Uh, I hope we aren't too late to save her morale," Chibi`` said before yelling up to Rini4.
"Rini!!! It's us! We've come to take you back!" The vultures up ahead were alerted to
the presence of fresh prey from Chibi``'s shouts, and they dipped down to take a look at
the new targets.
"Great," Alita announced while ducking, "They don't want a free meal. They want to hun-
-" Alita was cut off by the swoop of one vulture who came down close by her. This was
their first glimpse of an Undefined Territory vulture. It was huge with a ten foot wing
span. These vultures were more intelligent than regular vultures. However, the four
discovered one important thing.
"They won't touch the ground," Moonlgt pointed out. It was true, too. The vultures
dived as close to the ground as possible without touching it, but then they had to fly back
up. The four devised to stay as close to the ground as possible.
"What about Rini, you guys?" asked Alita. Keiichi took out the knife and quietly stole up
to the tree where Rini4 was held. Trying to avoid the vultures' attention, he sawed away
at the rope to release the trapped girl. The rope gave with only a few cuts, and Rini4
came crashing down on Keiichi. Luckily, he broke her fall, and she was bumped back into
her old self. It was her mad old self, though.
"That bitch! When I get my hands on her, she'll be sorry she ever brainwashed my
Garret!" Rini4 said while clenching her fists together.
"You might want to start from the beginning after we escape the vultures!" Keiichi
pointed out. "Run for it!" The four ran for what seemed like a long time before they were
sure the vultures hadn't followed them. They stopped to rest for a moment at a small
stream.
"I recognize... this... stream..." Chibi`` uttered between breaths. "We're near
#SailorFriends."
"OK, Rini. It's time you told us all you know," Keiichi encouraged. Rini4 sat down on a
rock near the brook and put her head in her hands.
"I know why they took him. The girl said something about Garret marrying the 'Princess'
and having a honeymoon in San Francisco."
The other four members stood around in shocked disbelief.
"Of all the low!" Chibi`` stated.
"So they want to get into the Real World that bad, huh?" puzzled Alita.
"We've got a wedding party to crash, minna-san. Let's go back and spread the word,"
Moonlgt said while looking toward the ending to the woods. The noonday sun cast bright
beams through the trees on either side of the path back to the chat room.
"Swords and armor stolen from local museum," the man mumbled to himself while reading
the newspaper. It was the sixth museum robbery in North America. The police suspected
that all of the burglaries were connected somehow. Just then, the man looked up to see
three teenage boys get into the elevator with Brass Hilt Broad Swords by their sides.
"Hi mister," said one bold boy in the group. The man blinked and quickly got off at the
next floor.
"Geez, Kenley, did you have to scare him?" DragonKnt asked his friend. {Doad} grinned
in reply to DragonKnt's question.
"This time, it's Garret and Rini that are in danger. At least that's what Ken's note said,"
Aar0n announced.
When the trio entered the chat room, the others were already there. Keiichi made a
checklist of everyone who could make it: Alita, Chibi``, Rini4, Dem0niK, Kamidake`,
Elespeth, Davias, KTsYuJa, Moonlgt, DragonKnt, {Doad}, Aar0n, and himself of course.
As Keiichi was making sure everyone had weapons, Dem0niK asked, "Was it necessary to
bring weapons from the Real World, though?"
In reply Alita said, "Yes, because magic weapons would disappear in the Undefined
Territory. Therefore, if we had real weapons on us, we could keep them in the forest."
Alita held up her Spiked Mace, "Do you like it? It was in the medieval section."
Before anyone could answer, Ken announced that it was time to part. "Rini, you show us
the way. We can probably find that spot where you were tied up again, but we will need
to follow their trail after that."
It was late evening before the team found themselves outside of the dwelling of the Naked
group. SailorMau was no where in sight, but the whole tribe had assembled in front of the
Princess who was now speaking. The team quietly sat behind the cover of the bushes to
hear what she had to say.
"For thousands of years," the Princess began, "Our people have lived the same way. We
women have been secluded--hidden away while the men travel and explore. Every year of
our lives, the men come back to impregnate those of us that are of age. Then they move
on again, and we are forced to bear their children and raise them! Is this the type of life
that we want? Can we not explore and chose our own men? Well now I have an answer.
A man from the other world has been brought here tonight..."
Rini4's eyes scanned the village as the Princess spoke on and on. Indeed, the village was
made up of only women and children. The housing looked primitive with only grass
coverings for shelter. There was a main cave, however, where the Princess obviously
resided. It was decorated on the outside with animal skins and strange looking rocks. To
the side of the cave, there was a waterfall and a river following it. Rini4's eyes were
brought back to the Princess on her next statement.
"With this child in my womb conceived from last night and SailorMau to be a father to it,
we will escape to the Real World!"
The #SailorFriends members looked at each other in shocked silence. Rini4 was seething
in anger. She clutched her Crescent Moon Fantasy Sword and whispered, "It's not even
going to be his child..." At that moment SailorMau was brought out from the cave fully
dressed in royal robes. The wedding ceremony was to begin. The Naked group rose to
pay respect to their Princess and soon to be Prince. The #SF members turned to watch
Rini4 as she watched the Princess with a hawk's eye. The Princess looked beautiful
against the fading sunlight. Her light hair turned a golden color as she stood there next to
the alter which was a mere rock with carvings on it. On the other side of the rock stood
Cirasen who was to perform the ceremony.
SailorMau arrived at the alter piece and put his right hand palm up onto the rock. The
Princess did the same. Cirasen began to chant in a low voice and retrieved a small dagger
out of her robes. "With this dagger I shall prick your hands so that your blood may mix
and blend together. Then you shall be one." Cirasen moved to cut SailorMau's palm
when Rini4, who could not stand it any longer, jumped out of the bushes. She ran full
force toward the alter shouting, "NO!!!!"
Rini4 felt the dagger fly by her as she dodged out of the way. She was not in time, and a
small trickle of warm blood ran down her cheek. By this time the group of Amazon-like
women were alerted to the strangers. The Princess had pulled SailorMau off to one side,
while Cirasen faced off with Rini4. "Pay back, time," Rini4 whispered while eyeing
Cirasen. She drew out her Crescent Moon sword and waited for Cirasen to attack. The
Princess was watching. Cirasen decided to probe Rini4's mind in hopes of finding a
weakness. She could use magic to get rid of the annoying little girl, but destroying a mind
was much more satisfying. The rest of the #SailorFriends crew stood up from behind the
bushes to watch what was happening. For long moments the two females stood watching
each other. Inside their heads however, another battle was going on.
Each tribe in the Undefined Territory had its own "witch doctor" or one who could heal
wounds and read minds. Cirasen was the best of all the tribes put together. She had never
lost a mind battle. The people preferred to fight mind to mind because it would guarantee
a fair fight. Inside Rini4's and Cirasen's mind, the two females were by a rocky cliff. The
sound of waves pushing against the shoreline showed that they were near an ocean. Rini4
was at the end closer to the cliff facing Cirasen who was further inland. Cirasen was
holding SailorMau close by.
The battle began when Cirasen, drawing a large knife out, stabbed SailorMau in the chest.
Rini4 ran toward the murderer. She stumbled, however, on a root created by Cirasen and
was captured as the plant grew larger. Rini4 created a sword which she used to cut
herself away. Cirasen was nowhere to be found. Looking around frantically, Rini4 felt
the wind picking up. A huge gust came out of the north where Cirasen used to be. It
enveloped her and began to choke her as if it were hands. Rini4 gripped at the hands
around her neck until the wind died away leaving Cirasen standing there choking her. The
witch doctor's eyes were glowing with insanity. "You must really get a kick out of
killing," Rini4 ground out between her teeth. She grew out her fingernails and clawed at
Cirasen's face. Cirasen stumbled backwards clutching at her eyes. Rini4 finished the fight
by pushing a spear straight through Cirasen's belly.
The members of the Naked group watched while their witch doctor stumbled backwards
clutching her belly. Some rushed to her aid while others turned on the #SailorFriends
members. The Princess, getting desperate, pulled the brainwashed SailorMau off into the
woods. Rini4 ran after them crying, "Garret!!"
The Princess stopped to catch her breath. She looked around and then called out, "Come
out, little girl." Rini4 came out from behind a tree to confront the Princess and SailorMau.
The Princess smiled evilly and said, "Nothing can stand in my way. I will kill you myself!"
She advanced on Rini4.
"Er.. they're advancing on us," Chibi`` announced. Dem0niK, who was standing next to
her, looked toward the groups of women who had gathered spears.
"Yeah, well they're not gonna get too far!" he growled.
"Keep in mind that they're pregnant," Keiichi cautioned. Dem0niK and Kamidake` gave
him glares but realized he was right. Kamidake` suggested that they just fend the women
off or try to capture them. A cry from Alita made the #SailorFriends members decide to
follow that idea. Alita was being attacked by two angry looking women. Elespeth came
to Alita's rescue by disarming one of the women with her Tameshi-giri sword. Alita was
able to take the other one out with the opposite end of her Spiked Mace. {Doad} and
Aar0n dragged the women to a nearby pit and forced them into it.
On the other side of this commotion, Moonlgt, DragonKnt, Davias, and KTsYuJa were
disarming a large group of the women. Moonlgt pulled out her Dragon Scepter, but
instead of pulling the wooden stick apart to reveal two blades, she simply knocked the
women over the head with it. DragonKnt used the thirty-inch blade on his Broad Sword
to cut and knock the deadly end of the spears away much in the same way KTsYuJa used
her Kwan. KTsYuJa took advantage of the thirty-five and a half inch staff topped with a
twelve-inch blade to knock the spears away from the pregnant women. Davias gripped his
Conan the Barbarian sword in front of him where the women could see it. One look at the
forty-seven and a half inch sword made the remaining women faint so that Dem0niK and
Kamidake` could carry them off. Keiichi made sure that all of the women were in the pit.
"We need to get Rini and Garret back," Alita said when all the members were gathered
around the pit.
Rini4 drew her Crescent Moon sword and prepared to fight again. The Princess laughed
and used her magic to bend the sword so that it became unusable. "Hey!" Rini4 shouted,
"I needed to return that!"
"It won't matter, darling," the Princess pointed out, "You will be dead anyway. And your
precious 'Garret' will be my slave for all eternity!" The Princess ran her hand along
SailorMau's cheek. She laughed again when she saw Rini4's look of disgust. SailorMau
remained unflinching and silent. His eyes looked blank. Rini4 dashed up to SailorMau,
pulling on his arm.
"Garret! It's me, Kat!"
She was knocked to the ground by the Princess in one movement. This time there were
real hands around Rini4's neck. The Princess tightened her grip, "Don't you understand?
The universe is not for weaklings like you! Only those strong enough make it! I could
care less about men. They mean nothing. As they've shown us women for the last four
thousand years, they are good for nothing other than child getting!" The evening sun had
set and the forest became a darkness full of wild sounds. The Princess' eyes began to glow
as Cirasen's had but with a stronger magnitude. Rini4 began to see dark spots
everywhere. With one last hope she cried out to SailorMau.
"Garret!! It's Kat! I need... you!" Rini4 brought her knee up right into the Princess'
stomach and knocked her off. SailorMau's eyes searched for the familiar voice. It was
like waking up from darkness to him. His eyes fell onto Rini4 lying on the ground. Four
feet away a stranger had a silver knife in her hand. She launched for Rini4 at that moment.
SailorMau moved quickly. He grabbed a sharp branch nearby and plunged it into the
Princess. She landed on the ground with a loud thump. Blood spewed everywhere
engulfing her body. Rini4 sat up but was still deprived of oxygen. She glanced over to
the Princess' body and quickly averted her eyes.
"Rini!!" Chibi`` yelled. Both SailorMau and Rini4 looked up to see Chibi`` rushing
towards them. The rest of the #SailorFriends members were close behind. While they
were rejoicing, Cirasen walked up unnoticed at first. Kamidake` pulled out his Dragon
Head Katana, but Cirasen waved him off. She walked past him to the Princess' body.
Kneeling beside the former Princess, Cirasen took out a small pouch and sprinkled its
contents over the body. The blood became clear and vanished. The Princess looked
beautiful once more although dead. "Our first marriage in four thousand years ends in
tragedy. It was dishonest, I know," she addressed the #SailorFriends crew. "Our Princess
was torn by a love she could not control. I'm sorry you had to be the victim of her plot,
Garret. She has always been plagued by the idea of revenge. You came out alive, Rini,"
Cirasen looked at the girl admirably. "She envied you in that you already had what she
could only dream of having--love." Straightening up, she concluded, "We won't stop
trying to change our tradition, but we will do it honestly next time. Thank you
#SailorFriends. If you ever need our help, you know where to find us." With those words
Cirasen breezed past the members to disappear into the forest. There was one last chilling
breeze that took the body of the Princess away. Then the moon came out to light the way
back for the exhausted members.
The #SailorFriends members sighed with relief once they saw the chat room. They rushed
towards the balcony leaving the two sweethearts behind. An angry voice floated down to
them.
"I said that I don't have your friggin' swords!" SKeLeT0R spat at the officers.
"Sure, buddy. We have witnesses that people came in here with the stolen weapons," one
officer said. The members outside looked at one another. Chibi``'s eyes darted toward the
lake. She rushed over towards it and "accidentally" dropped her Ninja Warrior Sword
in.
"Gee, I guess I lost it," Chibi`` grinned at the others. They followed her lead in disposing
of the weapons. The officers heard the sound of splashing water and ran outside.
"Hey! You kids! What did you do with the weapons?"
"Nothing officer," they chorused looking innocent. The officers naturally didn't believe
the band of teenagers and went to investigate for themselves.
"Hey, we can use magic again! Let's try this brainwashing stuff out," suggested KTsYuJa.

"Garret..." she squeezed his hand. He bent for a moment and pressed his lips gently to
hers. She blushed and hugged him. The two stood there to watch the shining moon with
their arms linked.
"It's a beautiful night," Moonlgt said looking out at the couple. She gently moved away
from the balcony to leave the two together.
