"Well," Rubeus began, "can you help us?"

"I can tell you." Wiseman said, looking into his crystal ball. "The Crystal's energy will be emitted from the Cherry Hill Temple sometime this afternoon. I want that child and the crystal!"

"Catsy's familiar with that Temple, so I'll send her." Rubeus said.

"Just make sure she knows what she's doing, Rubeus." Wiseman warned. You've already failed too many times. No one's irreplaceable, you know. And I hope Catsy's trustworthy. I see dark clouds around her."

"She would never betray us." Rubeus said. "I've got her wrapped around my little finger."

"For your sake," Wiseman said, "I hope you're right!" Rubeus took lightly the fake sentiment, and looked out on the primitive city of Tokyo, Japan.

In Tokyo, Chad and Raye were strolling through the streets. Raye was having an infinitely easier time of walking than Chad was.

"Raye, help me out here. I can't see anything. Raye? Where are you?"

"Chad!" Raye responded. "Would you quit gripin' and hurry up?"

"Why'd you buy so much stuff anyway?" Chad asked, his face hidden behind some boxes. "Your closet's already full."

"Look," Raye preached, "you promised me a full day of shopping if I let you sing at the temple, and I suffered quietly.

"Suffered? Ha!" Chad retorted playfully. "You need to learn some music appreciation!" Raye heard a loud crash, and looked to see Chad on the ground, her clothes and boxes scattered on the ground. Raye looked at Chad.

"What a nimbus!"

Chad had bumped into a woman, and she took her hand away from her face. She had purple hair, and her name was Catsy.

"Why don't you watch where you're going, you big Clod?!" Catsy screamed. Chad apologized. Catsy thought, He looks like the guy from the martial arts classes at the Temple. Raye screamed at Chad to pick up her stuff, and Chad put all the woman's things back into her shopping bag, saying,

"I'm sorry. Forgive me?"

"No!" Catsy snapped. "You ruined my day!" Chad pleaded with her, and was truly sorry, and Catsy said that sorry wasn't enough. Chad was genuinely shocked by Catsy. Catsy walked away, thinking, If my face turns black and blue, he's gonna get a real martial arts lesson!

Raye saw Chad on the ground, and said,

"Hey, what are you staring for?"

"I think I've seen her before." Chad replied. "I think she's been at the Temple."

Catsy arrived in Rubeus' fortress, and said to herself that her lipstick had better not be smeared. Rubeus' voice echoed in her ears.

"Bout time you got back here." Catsy was startled. Rubeus walked up to her, and said,

"I've been waiting quite a while."

"You have?" Catsy asked. "Did we have a meeting?"

"No, Catsy, we didn't." Rubeus said, almost sweetly. "I was just looking forward to seeing you, I miss you."

"Did you really?" Catsy asked, surprised. Rubeus said that Catsy was his finest warrior. He said that when she was gone, he worried.

"Now," Rubeus continued, "I have a special mission for you."

"Oh, what is it?" Catsy asked. "Have you located another Crystal Point to capture?"

"No." Rubeus replied calmly. "You need to go back to that Temple."

"What?! Are you kidding me?!" Catsy reeled. Rubeus said,

"No, Catsy. Our target will be there today."

"Excellent!" Catsy said. "I'll capture that little fungus, and get the Crystal for us, too. This'll be great! Just you wait! We'll be headed to the future by the end of the day!"

"We'd better." Rubeus said. "The Wiseman's losing patience."

Rubeus began to leave, but Catsy told him to wait. She said,

"I got you something. I thought of you as soon as I saw it. It's a wonderful cologne. Reminds me of your strength." She handed him a tiny crystal bottle. Catsy smiled with good intentions. Rubeus looked down at the bottle.

"Thank you." He said, disgusted. "But I really have no use for such things!" Catsy heard glass breaking. Rubeus opened his hand, and to Catsy's shock, the small bottle was broken.

"See that?" Rubeus said sadistically. "That's what'll happen to our lives if you fail. Keep that in mind at the Temple." Rubeus left saying, "Don't come back empty-handed!"

Catsy disguised herself, and went to the Temple. Rini wasn't due to show up until four, and Catsy early. She thought, If I make up my face just right, I'm sure Rubeus will want to take me out for a victory celebration! She opened her compact, and in the small mirror was Rubeus. Catsy was startled, and Rubeus said,

"Catsy, has the kid shown up yet?" Catsy said that no-one was there.

"There's always somebody there!" Rubeus said. "Now quit primping, and go snoop around."

"I was just gonna do that!"

"Yeah, right! Sure you were. You know, the Sailor Scouts are friends with the girl who works at the Temple. Why don't you go snoop around, and see if you can get anything on them, or the Crystal?"

"I'll do that." Catsy said. Rubeus disappeared, saying insincerely that Catsy looked lovely. Catsy was flattered, and closed the compact. He really does care for me. She thought. He was just being hard on me earlier to make sure I succeeded on this mission. Catsy heard something, and looked over. She saw the young girl chasing the martial arts teacher around the Temple. Catsy had nothing to worry about.

Luna, Artemis, Mina and Lita were sitting at a table in a mall somewhere. Mina was bored. So was Lita. Mina asked where Luna where Serena was, and Luna replied that Serena was at Raye's. Mina said,

"Amy's studying, Raye's working, everyone's busy but us." Artemis said,

"And neither one of you has a boyfriend, so that means you're stuck with us cats!" Serena was laughing hysterically. Raye came in, and saw her.

"Geez! Are you still here? I thought you were going to borrow those and take your annoying self home!"

"I was," Serena said, "but I realized that if I read them all here, I won't have to haul them all home and get all tired and sweaty!"

Just then, a voice came from the door. Raye went to answer it, and saw a woman standing there. Raye said,

"Can I help you?"

"Actually, I'm hoping to help you. I'm from the Regal Make Up Company." The woman was Catsy. She came in, and said to the two girls that she might not sell much make up to them.

"You two must both be models, right?" Raye and Serena were flattered.

Catsy was showing the girls some of the cosmetics, and showed them some cream. She said,

"If you use it every night, your skin will be beautiful, everyone will notice. But maybe that'd make your boyfriends jealous." Raye said that neither of them had a boyfriend. Serena said that she did, but he wasn't...really...talking to her.

"Hey, you got any Reality Check Cream? My friend here needs a jar big time!"

"You be quiet!" Serena said. "Darien's gonna come back to me. He loves me. I know he does!"

"Yeah," Raye said, "but you treated him badly, and he's smart enough not to hang around for that. When you apologize and really mean it, maybe he'll want to go out with you again. But, anyway, it's good that you guys are taking a break. You were getting way over-involved. You ignored your friends, and spent all your time with him."

"I did, didn't I?" Serena said. Raye smiled, and said,

"We forgive you." Serena thanked Raye, and Catsy inadvertently cut in. She told Serena to apologize, and Serena didn't want to. Catsy said,

"You should. Then, you'll feel better, because you saved your relationship, instead of letting pride rule your world. And then, someday, you'll get married, and the two of you will rule the whole universe! And, everyone will call you the Queen of Tokyo!" Serena and Raye were shocked at Catsy. Catsy was shocked at Catsy. She had just told them all her hopes and dreams with Rubeus. Raye said,

"You're nice, but I'm afraid I can't buy anything." Catsy tried to get some references from Raye, but the only ones who lived on Cherry Hill were the Hino family and Chad. Catsy left, and Raye said to Serena,

"Maybe if you had a case like hers, you could carry those comic books home." Serena wasn't amused. Catsy was leaving, and she thought that the job was going to be quite easy. Rini would show up alone. Later, Serena was leaving, and as she was, Chad said,

"Hey, Serena! Got a new tune, wanna hear it?" Serena said that she had to do her homework. Chad said that it was too bad. As Serena was leaving, Rini was arriving, and Serena said,

"Rini, you really shouldn't come over here to read all of Raye's comic books. She's a busy girl."

"Well," Rini said, "unlike you, I only come when I'm invited." Rini made a face at Serena, and ran. Serena was angry at Rini, but it subsided as she ran to catch the bus. Rini walked onto the main grounds of the Temple, and heard a loud voice call out to her. It was Catsy. Rini screamed, and alerted Chad and Raye. As Rini was trying to run away, Catsy slammed her into the ground. Just as Catsy was about to get Rini, something hit her in the head. It was Chad, and he hit Catsy in the head with a broom. Catsy said,

"How dare you hit me with that flee-ridden broom of yours! Who do you think you are, Surfer Boy? Do you think I'm scared, after seeing you run around like a wet chicken?" Catsy powered up her fire. "Hey! You're barbecue, Chicken!"

She blasted fire at Chad, and he ran. As the fire was about to hit him, he tripped, and fell. The fire missed by mere millimeters. Raye saw, and knew who the woman was. Just as Catsy was about to hit Chad, Raye threw a rock at Catsy, and Chad ran to Raye. Catsy decided she would get them both, and attacked. The fire missed, but on one shot, Raye tripped and fell. Chad ran to her, and covered her as the fire swept over...

Raye was all right, but Chad was in a lot of pain. Catsy said,

"I don't understand. I thought you hated each other, I mean, all she does is boss you around."

"It's what's on the inside that counts, lady!" Chad yelled. "But you wouldn't understand." Chad fell unconscious, and Raye said,

"Chad, hang in there. I'm not letting anyone hurt you again, you hear me?" Catsy was shocked. Raye continued. "I promise I'll get her for you!" She said with rage, "Nobody does this to my friends, nobody!" Without thinking, Raye let her feelings guide her.

"MARS STAR POWER!!!!"

Catsy was shocked. The girl that had worked at the Temple was Sailor Mars. No wonder the Sailor Scouts were friends with her. Sailor Mars knew the right etiquette of a Sailor Scout.

"MARS CELESTIAL FIRE SURROUND!!!"

The Rings of Fire didn't hit, and Catsy appeared on the roof of the Temple. She said,

"I've played this game before, remember Mars? But this time, I'll be the winner! You'll wish you never heard of the Negaverse!" Catsy rose into the air, and used her Rain Fire attack. Mars was strong, and attacked again. Catsy countered, and the clash of the two powers caused a huge explosion. Catsy flew through it at Sailor Mars, and Sailor Mars attempted a block. However, Catsy disappeared, catching Mars off guard, and reappeared by a tree behind the Sailor. Catsy jumped off the side of the tree, and elbowed Sailor Mars in the face hard. Sailor Mars flew through the air, and hit the ground. Catsy was about to hit Sailor Mars, and Sailor Mars saw that the fire was also going to hit Chad. Sailor Mars grabbed Chad, and leapt out of the way, as the fire hit the ground. Sailor Mars landed on the ground. She felt a burning sensation in her leg. Her ankle was severely burnt. Catsy looked at what Mars had done, and asked,

"Why are you protecting him? It's not like he's your boyfriend or anything!"

"Obviously," Sailor Mars said, "you don't have any friends, cause if you did, you wouldn't ask that question. But then again, who'd want to be friends with you?"

"And the way you talk to your friend, what is it, Serena?" Catsy countered. "Is that what you call friendship?" Sailor Mars finally recognized Catsy. She was the make up lady. Catsy said that she had it with the Sailor Scouts. Mars tried to get up.

"If you think I'm going to give up, you're out of your puny mind! I mean it!" Catsy laughed.

"Hey Mars, just to show you what a nice person I am, I'll let you say good-bye to your boyfriend!"

"He's not my boyfriend." Sailor Mars said, shrugging off the comment. "But someone like you wouldn't understand. All you think about is yourself, your face and your clothes. Well, let me tell you, it's not going to last!"

"Of course it'll last!" Catsy said vainly. "I take very good care of myself, my looks are quite pleasing."

"Blech!" Mars said, disgusted at Catsy. "It's all worthless if you don't have love and respect!" Catsy said that she had those things. She remembered what Rubeus had done with the cologne, and suddenly realized that Sailor Mars was trying to stall her. She went to get Rini, but didn't grab her. Something flashed in her eyes

"Who's there!?" A person at the top of the shrine gates was standing, and said,

"Tuxedo Mask at your service, and I suggest you get away from that child if you know what's good for you! You seem like a smart lady!" He leapt down, and picked up Rini. He told her, "Wise choice, Catsy." He left with Rini, and as Catsy tried to stop him, Sailor Mars ambushed her with the Fire Surround. Catsy kneeled from the weakness, and Rubeus appeared, saying,

"Not much of a victory pose, Catsy!"

"Rubeus, you came for me!" Catsy exclaimed.

"Not really." Rubeus said. "Where's the kid, Catsy?"

"She's gone." Catsy replied. "But we can get her back together. If we team up as one, we'll be invincible! It's meant to be, my darling!"

"Gimme a break!" Rubeus retorted. "You're a loser! I have no interest in teaming up with a failure like you!" Rubeus' tongue was out of control now, but it said exactly what Rubeus wanted to say. "Don't bother coming back to headquarters. You're no longer a part of my team!"

"You can't mean that!" Catsy said desperately. "After everything we've been through, the battles we've fought! I know we can beat these guys! Love conquers everything!"

"Love is a very powerful thing." Rubeus said.

"Then you do care for me. Fight by my side!" Catsy said. Rubeus simply replied,

"I said love can be a powerful thing that can be used to manipulate simps like you!"

"You can't mean that! I know! I failed you, but I can do this if you believe in me. Tell me you believe in me!" Rubeus laughed.

"This is world domination, not a popularity contest! Anyway, you've been wearing so much perfume lately, I can't stand to be anywhere near you! From now on, you're on your own, Catsy." Catsy and Sailor Mars were shocked. Rubeus gave Catsy one last chance to beat the Sailor Scouts. He gave her a small glowing orb. Catsy asked what it was, and Rubeus said that it was Nega-bomb. Rubeus left, and Catsy looked at the ball.

"So, it's all over then. Might as well use my present."

"No!" Sailor Mars said. "Don't use that thing! Now's your chance! Start over without him!"

"No!" Catsy said. "He hates me. Everyone does. Rubeus, the only man I ever really loved. But it was a lie. There's no sense in dragging it all out." Catsy was about to use the bomb, when divine intervention took its course.

"VENUS LOVE CHAIN ENCIRCLE!!!"

The bomb was knocked out of Catsy's hand and into the air.

"JUPITER THUNDERCLOUD ZAP!!!"

The bomb was destroyed. It was the Sailor Scouts. Mercury addressed Catsy, and Catsy said that she wasn't going anywhere. The Sailor Scouts were shocked, and Catsy's anger grew. She leapt at the Sailor Scouts, except Sailor Mars, and began to attack, while blaming them for her pain. She shouted,

"No one believes in me anymore!" Sailor Mars had tears in her eyes.

"That's not true!" As Jupiter was about to hit Catsy, Sailor Mars got in the way, and Sailor Mars got Jupiter's knee in her ribs. Sailor Mars told the Sailor Scouts not to hurt Catsy. She said to Catsy,

"Your heart's good, you've just been following the wrong path. Rubeus used and abused you, Catsy, and you deserve better. I know you're good deep inside, and though you've done some rotten things, I believe in you, Catsy. And you should too. So what do you say? You want to give up this life of evil?" Catsy said yes. Sailor Mars turned to Sailor Moon, and asked her if she would use her Imperium Silver Crystal on Catsy. Sailor Moon said that she had never used it like that, and Luna said that it couldn't hurt. Artemis said that it might negate what negative energy was left in Catsy, and Sailor Moon tried it out.

"MOON CRYSTAL HEALING ACTIVATION!!!!"

Catsy was changed forever.

Later that day, Raye was telling Chad, who was covered in a cast, to clean faster. Raye couldn't because she had a large burn on her leg. There was a voice at the door, and it was Catsy. She was selling make up for real this time. Chad said,

"I recognize that voice!"

"Goodness!" Catsy said. "You're going to need a good moisturizer soon. Must be real dry in there!"

Good for you, Catsy! Raye thought. Your future's looking a whole lot brighter!
