Setsunna froze, unable to beleive what she had just heard. Slowly
she turned around and saw...
"Ryan." She said in shock. "How can this be? I thought you were lost
when the Moon Kingdom was destroyed."
Ryan laughed.
"Not quite. I was reborn with the other citizens. I ended up in the
same time as Serena and the Scouts. But like many others, I never
regained my memeries." Setsunna stepped forward.
"Then-" Ryan interrupted her.
"It wasn't until I met a certin somebody that I remembered the
Moon kingdom. But even then my memeries were blurry. He said he could
give me the power to remember if I did favor for him. Well, he gave
that power, more power than I had in the Silver Millennium.
He brought me here to Crystal Tokyo. Then he was destroyed by the
Sailor Scouts and I was on my own." Ryan paused and looked coldly
at Setsunna.
"Do you understand what I'm telling you? The person who gave me my
power was none other then The Wiseman himself!"
Setsunna gasped.
"The Wiseman?" He died months ago!"
"Yes. Even though he died, the power he gave me still runs through my
veins. In the months after he died, I wandered about, trying to make
sense of my past. I decided to forget the past and focus on my future.
And my future includes ruling Crystal Tokyo!"
Setsunna's eyes narrowed.
"You want to take it over?"
"No. I won't have to conquer it if it was mine to begin with." He
said with a smirk. Setsunna's eyes widened as she got the gist of his
plan.
"How will you accomplish that-" Her eyes narrowed. "The Time Gate."
Ryan eyes gleamed.
"You could always connect the dots. That's one thing I loved about you."
She brandished the Time Key and settled into a fighting stance.
"You know I can't allow that." Ryan smirked.
"You know you can't stop me." Ryan stepped back, then charged with
speed Setsunna never geussed he had. Ryan punched her in the stomach,
causing her to double over. Setsunna quickly regained distance from him
and aimed the key.
"Time Bind!" She shouted as the key glowed softly. Ryan felt himself stiffen,
unable to move.
"As I said," Setsunna began, "I won't let you have the key."
Ryan smirked.
"My dear, Pluto...You under-estimate my new powers." He shook off the
force field and hold his hand out.
"Eye of darkness!" A dark reddish energy shot out from his fist and
pummeled into Setsunna, knocking her backwards into a wall.
She groaned, trying to remain consious. She focused her vision on Ryan
as he got nearer to her. She gathered her energy and stood up.
"Ryan...stop this...." SHe pleaded.
"I'm sorry, My dear. But I can't stop. I'm to close to realizing my destiny."
She frowned, and prepared her most powerful attack.
"Dead...Scream" She key glowed brightly as energy gathered and shot out.
Ryan simply watched as the energy came toward him, waiting until the last
minute to jump up and dodge it. He landed right in front of Pluto.
"And now...we end this. Eye of darkness!" Pluto screamed as the dark energy
ran though her body. She slumped against the wall.
Ryan smiled down at her, then reaches down and picks up the time key.
"Put that down! It doesn't belong to you!" Rini shouted as she ran toward
Setsunna, followed by Sailor Moon and the inner scouts.
Ryan turned around, grinning broadly.
"Well, now it does. It was nice meeting you, but now I have to go."
WIth that, he phased out almost instantly, leaving no trace behind.
Setsunna stared at the spot where he stood a second ago, then stands up
with Rini's help.
"Pluto...who was that?"
Pluto paused before replying.
"An old....friend. This is very bad..."
