Act LXIX
Memories of the Rose Butterfly

Kousagi, R. Rose and Thames saw orcs surrounding the entrance to the city. "Why are there so many of them guarding the entrance?" asked Kousagi.

"The council of princesses has cracked down hard on the movement against them. There are security checks in many places," explained R. Rose.

"Where is this other entrance?" asked Kousagi.

"It's right down there." Thames pointed to a canal downhill from them, leading underground.

"We sent a few probes down there to explore, and it turns out that it leads to the sewers below the city," explained Thames. Thames led the way down the muddy decline.

There were dead bodies lying around in the sewer. R. Rose examined some of the bodies. "There are two puncture wounds in their necks."

"What? So you're saying a vampire bit them?" said Thames, jokingly.

"Actually, I'm afraid so. It's been rumored that a sailor senshi in the council of princesses is a vampire mistress."

"You're kidding. A vampire sailor senshi?" said Kousagi.

"That's what I've heard."

They heard people talking. They hid behind a large pipe, peeking around it.

Two women were talking. One of them had black hair, blue eyes and wearing a white dress, stained with blood. The other had blond hair, blue eyes and wearing jeans and a skin tight shirt, revealing her very flat chest.

"I appreciate you saving me from those orcs while they were raping me, but I've been down here for a couple of days now. I would like to go back home," said the blond haired woman. Her name was Andree Mecham Close.

"You don't get it, do you? You're not going back home. I brought you down here because I need a snack," replied the other woman.

"What do you mean? Just let me go now."

The woman grabbed her, preventing her from running.

She smiled, revealing her vampire teeth. The woman tilted Andree's head to the side, allowing easy access to her neck. She bit down deeply into her neck, guzzling down the blood that gushed out.

Kousagi and the others watched in astonishment.

After the woman was finished, she dropped Andree's dead body face first in the muck.

Her mouth was covered in blood.

"Holy shit! Let's get out of here," said Thames, cowering in a corner.

"Not so fast." Kousagi grabbed him by the arm.

"You saw what she did. Do you want to end up like that?" asked Thames.

"We will find a way around her," assured Kousagi.

The female vampire was gone.

"Keep walking in front before we kick your ass again," threatened R. Rose.

There were other vampires lurking about. "I thought there was just one sailor senshi vampire. Who are the others?" asked Kousagi.

"There's no telling how many people she has sired," replied R. Rose.

They walked around a corner, running into three vampires. "Stay away from us," said Thames, swinging his cane at them.

The vampires slowly approached them. Thames ran off, with the vampires chasing him.

"That idiot! He should've stayed with us," said Kousagi.

"Never mind him. Let's focus on getting out of here alive," replied R. Rose.

"It's so dark in here; I can barely see," said Kousagi.

"I can see some light coming from up above, over there," pointed out R. Rose.

They heard more voices and took cover. Thames was talking with the vampire mistress. "I'm being held captive against my will by two girls. If you sire me, I'll show you where they are, and you can feast on them."

"That two timing bastard!" said Kousagi.

"Who are you? Why would I sire you if two girls can over power you?" asked the vampire mistress.

"I'm Thames. Actually, the girls have super.."

"Shut up!" said the vampire mistress, interrupting Thames. She looked deep into his eyes, hypnotizing him. He was dazed and dropped his pimp cane.

"Would you die for me?"

"Yes, anything for you," replied Thames.

"Good, then I want you to die now." She slashed his throat with her long, thick fingernails. Blood spewed out of his neck. He fell on his back, dead.

Sailor Parallel Moon used her attack against the vampire mistress, making her fly back onto the ground. Sailor Parallel Moon and R. Rose made a run for the ladder leading up to the city.

The vampire mistress attacked them with her Landau shadow smack. They fell off the ladder.

They looked up, seeing the vampire sailor senshi standing above them. "Sailor Parallel Moon? Is that you?"

"You, you're sailor Juliet, aren't you?" remembered Sailor Parallel Moon.

"Yes, I am. I thought you were dead."

"Let us go or else we'll have to kill you," threatened R. Rose.

Sailor Juliet smelled something. She walked up to R. Rose. "My, you are a rare blood type. Type AB, is it? I haven't tasted that for so long." She had an uncanny ability to smell what someone's blood type was. She licked her lips.

R. Rose closed her eyes, looking away saying, "You won't have your way with me."

"Leave her alone," said Sailor Parallel Moon, using her attack again.

Sailor Juliet countered with her Landau Shadow Smack attack. They were evenly matched.

"I should kill you first, since you are a bigger threat," said Sailor Juliet. She used her Landau Hypnosis Beta ability, pulling Sailor Parallel Moon towards her.

"Don't look into her eyes," warned R. Rose.

Sailor Parallel Moon swung her weapon at Sailor Juliet, breaking her long fingernails off. Sailor Juliet jumped on Sailor Parallel Moon, knocking her down.

R. Rose ran off.

Sailor Juliet was holding Sailor Parallel Moon down to the ground. Her mouth opened up wide, revealing her vampire teeth.

R. Rose picked up Thames' pimp cane and broke it in two over her leg.

The foul stench of undead breath made Kousagi faint.

R. Rose ran up behind Sailor Juliet, stabbing her from behind through the heart with the wooden cane, killing her. "Come on, let's get out of here," said R. Rose.

They arrived inside the city of Santok. "Where to now?" asked Kousagi.

"There's a club where I am to meet my associates." They arrived at a club with a neon sign reading, "Papillon Rose Club."

There were many scantily clad people inside. The men were wearing thong underwear, with a zipper on the crotch. The women were wearing bras with holes in them, exposing their nipples. They were also wearing crotchless panties, exposing their pussies. Kousagi was going through some initial shock.

A tall, scantily clad female elf with grayish hair approached them. "Kousagi? Is that you?"

"Yes, it's me. And you are Tameria. Correct?"

"Yes, you're right. I'm glad you remember me. I was afraid you wouldn't want to remember me after our break up."

"Break up?" asked Kousagi.

"Yes, broke up. We met at this place a long time ago."

"Here?" asked Kousagi, surprised. She explained to Tameria about her memory loss. She remembered this was a club where mainly bisexuals went to meet people.

"While you're here, maybe we could have a little fun with Tsubomi's magical pink vibrator; like old times," suggested Tameria.

"We're here to see Artemis Evans," said R. Rose.

"He's in the back room waiting for you. Follow me," said Tameria.

They met Artemis Evans. He was a Galkan warrior dressed in light armor.

Kousagi gave him a hug. "How have you been?" asked Kousagi.

"Same as always."

"Thanks for still being here. We are a couple of days behind schedule. We had some unexpected interruptions. I am very sorry," apologized R. Rose.

"I am very surprised to see you here. I didn't know you were back," said Artemis Evans.

Kousagi explained to him everything that happened.

"Wow, quite a story. We need all the help we can get at this point."

"What's the plan?" asked R. Rose.

"We are going to gather up the remaining sailor senshi. It is time for us to strike," answered Artemis Evans.

"I can't wait to see them again," said Kousagi.

"They have been hiding for a long time. We won't live in fear under the council of princess' rule," said Artemis Evans.

"I take it the locations where they are hidden have been kept very secret," said R. Rose.

"Yes. There has been only one person assigned to each sailor senshi who knows where they are. I am one of those people," explained Artemis Evans.

"What about the orcs surrounding the city? It will take more than just you and Sailor Parallel Moon to get by them."

"We will be accompanied by two other allies. I will call for them in the morning. They are staying at a residence here."

"What about me?" asked Tameria.

"Stay here at this club for now and keep an eye on things. Let's get some rest," said Artemis Evans.

"Are you sure you don't want to stay a little while and have some fun?" asked Tameria.

"Maybe, I mean, I just need more time to sort things out," replied Kousagi.

"If you change your mind, I'll be here late tonight."

After Kousagi and R. Rose went to a hotel, Tameria unzipped the underwear of a male elf and began having fun with him in the 69 position.

"Good luck tomorrow. I wish you all the best," said R. Rose.

"Aren't you coming with us?"

"No. I'm staying here with Tameria to keep an eye on things. That club is one of our secret bases of operations. Someone needs to be there and take care of things."

"Thanks for all your help," said Kousagi.

"It is I who should thank you. I wouldn't have made it here without your help."

They turned off the lights and went to sleep.
