Chapter 1: "Game Over"

Chapter 2: "System UnInstall"

Chapter 3: "The Midday Darkness"

Chapter 4: "Because"

Chapter 5: "Fly Me To The Moon"

Chapter 6: "Endgame"

This story would happen after Sailormoon S, doing without the existence of the 4th and 5th "seasons" of the anime. As it is mentioned, one must assume that Mistress 9 did know that the daughter of Tomoe Souichi was Sailorsaturn and thus also intended somehow to take control of the powers of the Senshi of Destruction. Hino Rei is portrayed partially like in the manga — so she has no apparent sexual interest in men — and partially like in the anime — where she is very evidently the closest of friends to Usagi. My intention is to reveal the *true* selves of my favorite Sailormoon characters — 火野レイ and 土萠ほたる.

"GAME OVER"

► Rei?

► Ya, it's me. Hotaru...

► I need to talk to someone... No. I need to talk to YOU. I need to see you... as soon as possible. I mean it, I've got to have a very serious conversation with you... Please...

Rei tried to get in touch with Hotaru's mind; she closed her eyes and for a moment focused her attention on a mental picture of Sailorsaturn, attempting to scan what Hotaru was feeling,... and could only feel that Hotaru was right; they really had to have that serious conversation; it had to happen right on that same day. Yes, she, Rei, was afraid, too — but so what? Didn't her dreams and visions warn her about what was going to happen between herself and Hotaru? She answered:

► Could you come here right today, around 4 P.M.?

► 4 P.M.?... Ya, it'll be OK for me. Thank you very much, Rei! Sorry for having disturbed your sleep, but...

► Don't be sorry, please! You know I am your friend! Just be here today at 4 P.M., okay? I'll be waiting for you. Good night, Hotaru.

► Thank you again, Rei. Good night...

On that afternoon, the behaviors of Rei and Hotaru were going to be totally unusual, and unexpectable. When Rei opened the door to let her in, Hotaru just walked directly towards Rei's bed-room and entered it; and Rei's heart began to beat much faster on the very moment she saw the deep sadness on the face of her friend. After having locked her bed-room's door, Rei sat down on the floor, before and close-to Hotaru, and looked at her eyes, but Hotaru still was unable to dare to look at Rei's face. At last, Rei very gently touched the left hand of Hotaru and said:

► Hey!, what's up? I am here!... and listening to you.

Hotaru took a long and deep breath, and finally forced her eyes to face the miko.

► Rei... what are we the Sailorsenshi living for? What are we? Who we really are, humans or non-humans, common people or superhumans? Part-time "people" and part-time "Sailorsenshi"? Who am I really? What am I really? I would like to be myself only, and myself all time long! I do have always felt that I am not really human, and I guess I will never really be human. I don't like to be the ordinary "Tomoe Hotaru", and I really don't like what I fight for when I turn into Sailorsaturn...

["Oh no! Hotaru! You too? You've been bitten by the truth bug, too! Oh my cunt!, not that pain in my soul again, and not in *this* way, please! Why the fuck I might not be blessed with the kindness of ignorance, the bliss of unconsciousness? It looks like this is the day I'll be finally captured by my fucky destiny... SHIT!"]

► What????? Hey!, don't speak so fast, please!

► ...because... why the fuck the things we were in our past lives will always and ever have to rule what we do in *this* life? Or, who knows, why not? Rather, this stuff don't really matter at all! I *am* Sailorsaturn, so why the fuck I cannot be Sailorsaturn twenty-four hours a day? My cunt!, I don't have any real need for living even a millisecond of my life-time as the ordinary Tomoe Hotaru! Why wouldn't I ever be allowed to be Sailorsaturn just for the pleasure of being myself? According to my not so humble opinion, do you know what to have to live like a "super-hero" means? It means..., no!, it doesn't mean a thing, indeed it smells like ABSOLUTE INSANITY!

Then Hotaru closed her eyes and put her right hand on the right hand of Rei; she had to find out the right words to keep on talking that way, to keep on showing her actual feelings; Rei was shivering, and didn't know what to say, because what Hotaru was telling her... was 100% hard truth, and once again she was experiencing the fear of the unavoidable consequences that would come from accepting that truth.

"So you're afraid too, huh? As it should be. I do know exactly what you're feeling and why you're feeling it; 'cause I've been feeling that you're just enough a lot like me; the only thing I still haven't wanted to know is whether you are gonna dare to change your heart just like I am doing today..." — Hotaru thought. Then she continued:

► I mean... I really am not afraid of being lonely, or alone, but... I'm so tired of being lonely! You said, you say, that you're my friend; matter of fact all Sailorsenshi tell me the same. But is *this* really friendship? I mean, friendship will never be allowed or supposed to be more, much more than this disguised emptiness I guess it truely is? Chibi-usa was my first true friend, I used to think; but lately I have found out that I was so despaired because of the depth of my loneliness that I had to accept anything, the first thing, that could ease the pain I was going through... even the hollow-headed Chibi-usa! I really never could stand her, but I also had been so weak that I had had to think and misfeel that to keep on being alone was much worse than having a friend like her!

► I... I see, but... And what about your parents? Haven't you ever felt the love they once dedicated to you? — ["NO!!!!! What the fuck have I just spoken? I don't believe it's happened!"]

► Love? From my *parents*? WHAT DO *YOU* MEAN?

► SORRY!, I...

► No! Never! I cannot evaluate the shit that happens between your father and yourself, Rei, but I do speak the truth for myself, and I dare say that my parents never never loved the real *me*. I do mean that they were loving the parts of themselves they could see in me, actually they were loving the parts of themselves that they could make me mirror back towards them! That is, what they loved was never me, but the set of results from their educational labour, their so-called "daughter" — DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME!?

Hearing that scream, Rei was not afraid anymore; she was scared, and it was her turn to escape — from Hotaru's eyes.

► Sorry, forgive me, Rei, please! I really didn't intend... but I couldn't help it... Rei...

► I know...

►

►

► Well... As for Setsuna, Michiru and Haruka... today it's impossible for me to believe that they have ever loved me, or even liked me... you don't know how hard, how painful it was when I could wake up to the fact that their *only* interest in me has been not to allow Sailorsaturn to become her *true* self, the *real* Senshi of Destruction...

► No!, you're wrong!

► Yes, I'm right! And you know what? Have you ever wondered *why* Mistress 9 possessed my body? Wait a minute!, I don't mean that "easy" answer!

► ?

► Ever wondered why I did *attract* her to my life, to my body? Wouldn't it be because she and I were *alike*? Rather, because she and I *are* alike? Because down deep inside I am exactly like Mistress 9 was? As she invaded my body... wouldn't I be just punishing myself, for having denied my *true* nature? Wouldn't she be just using my body right because one fuckingly stupid day I refused to do the kind of job that *I* had to do, that *I* always was supposed and meant to do?

► No!, that's a terrible mistake! We all know that she possessed your body because of the supreme destructive powers of Sailorsaturn, no doubt about this, but you have nothing to do with her, you use your powers to help Sailormoon and protect this planet...

► Exactly! That's the main point!, that's what *actually* matters! Have *I* ever affirmed that I *really* want to use *my* powers in order to help Sailormoon and protect this planet? Who are we Sailorsenshi? Slaves to Sailormoon? Do we *have* to be slaves to that hollow-headed slut? Why must we have to do with her concerns? Matter of fact, what do we *really* have to do with her? *Friendship*? Today this word makes no sense to me!, lately I have overlearned that it means a hollow shell that I can't stand no more, for I am not human — I mean, I don't want to have to be a hypocrite! *Loyalty*? First of all I must be loyal to my true self, and my true self has been telling me this: "FUCK SAILORMOON!" And why the hell she *still* is our leader? She even is not the strongest one among us all, her actual power has always been much less than she has made us all believe! At least she could be the wisest Sailorsenshi... Usagi, wise? Ha ha ha! I would easily knock her down and wipe my feet upon her tits! Even you could and should have done it sometimes, if you didn't have that "secret" interest in her...

► Do I have a "secret" interest in Usagi?... What d'ya mean?

► You want her.

► WHAT????? — Rei's eyes were more fierce-looking than ever, attempting to mean: "You're completely nuts!", but actually she was thinking: "How the fuck did you find it out?" However Hotaru just put her left middle finger on Rei's forehead and said:

► Matter of fact you want Minako too. Don't you... *really*?

Rei had to close her eyes again.

► Yes, I do. *Really*. Sorry.

► For what?

►

►

► For having tried to lie.

► Don't be.

The eyes of Hotaru were adoring the face and the body of her "friend"; she thought: "Why Usagi? Why Minako? Why not *me*? Why do you dislike yourself so much? Why, how, can you be so blind? Why... Damn it! Does it matter... now? Maybe very soon you will destroy me, otherwise I will destroy you... No, Hino Rei, I would never dare to destroy *you*... Our few happy moments... won't ever be? Damn it!"

► That's it... Now that I know that I am not human, that I'm sure I don't want to become human, and that I do believe that we all Sailorsenshi should be totally ourselves, not just a team of superpowered cops...

► Cops?????

► Ya, cops... If the humans themselves don't ever give a damn about protecting *their* homeworld, then why my cunt should *we* do it? It's completely nonsensical! As for Sailormoon, isn't she the "Number One"? So, why the hell isn't she able to fight alone, depending on her own strength only? Would she ever dare to fight her enemies if the other Senshi were not always around, ready to make her victories be possible? Would she ever dare to face Death all by herself, doing without people who live and die for her? Let me be absolutely crystal clear, would she ever be able to exist all by herself as Sailormoon, without depending on the existence of people like you, Minako, whoever? *Would she*? No!, for she's really weak, she's cowardly!, and therefore, you too have been nothing but a slave to a wimp! I cannot speak in the name of you and the other Sailorsenshi, but I state that from now on I myself have nothing to do with Sailormoon!

►

►

► Hotaru... Are you serious?

► Yes, I am.

► So... You won't help her anymore...

► It'll be worse than just refusing to help her. As the Senshi of Destruction, my present job is to take the control of the destiny of this planet off the hands of mankind...

► Hotaru!

► ... and to destroy whoever gets in the way.

► What the hell is going on inside your head? You know that you are unable to defeat all the other Senshi put together!

► Yes, I know it! So I will be fought and destroyed by all of you alright?

► NO!

► Yes. You, Sailormoon and the other Senshi will have no choice.

►

►

► Damn it Hotaru!... *WHY*? — Rei asked, with a cry in her voice.

► Because that's my wish. That's what I actually want to be — and to do. Because that's my... fate.

Rei stood up. She was feeling so ashamed! All those things that Hotaru had just told her, she did know they were all true; the difference between Saturn and Mars... really, there were things that Hotaru didn't fear anymore, but she, Rei, kept on fearing; all those truths that her own crystal perfect thinking had revealed to her so many times before, and that so many times she refused to validate, they finally had shown their full strength, spoken by other person, making her tell herself: "You coward!" Yes, she had been cowardly, for too long; and from that moment on, there was no decent way of living(or dying!) except obeying the call of her heart: "my Fire was not meant to create, and never meant to preserve — my Fire is meant to destroy, because now is the time for Destruction!".

How many times had she too wondered how fine it would be if she could be Sailormars all the time? How many times had she wished she could be Sailormars for the pleasure of being her true self, Sailormars, without ever having a thing to do with Sailormoon's reality and concerns? How many times had she tried to kill her oversilly crush on Usagi and Minako — and failed? How many times had she refused to show and to use her Ice Attacks before the other Senshi? How many times had she felt absurdly ashamed for the fact that her Ice Attacks were actually more powerful than her Fire Attacks? "The obligation that I've made... for the title that they gave me! The so-called 'Senshi of Fire'... in fact is just a shyed 'Ice Queen'!" How many times had she wished to live in a place where the sounds of television, radio, telephones and shitty people could not ever come to her ears? How many times had she realized that the so-called love she used to feel for her ojii-san had always been nothing but an illusion? How many times had she wished to kill her father and to do without any stupid need for guilt or self-punishment? How many times had she wished to have the strength to let her "queerness" show? How many times had she felt sorrow for enjoying the pleasure to kill — the multi-orgasmic sunshine in her stomach that only by killing an enemy she could give to herself — ? How many times had she denied the opportunities of being her actual self?

Too many, too many, too many! And on the very day she had come to be sure that she was really not crazy, that "she was not the only one", what had she just tried to do? To deny that Hotaru was closer than ever to Reality, to deny that her own inner truth could never be far from Reality! "You coward! Shame on you!" She finally might begin to feel true happiness, for Fate had just sent her a very nice gift, Saturn herself, at last someone truely worth to trust and to serve; however she still couldn't help feeling some more hesitation, some more guilt, some more fear, some more crap; "Shame on me!". She sat down on her bed, beside Hotaru.

► Hotaru... please look into my eyes. Good. Listen, I cannot believe you're that serious.["Liar!"] If you really intended to fight Sailormoon, why the heck would you ever warn us about your goals? It makes no sense! In this way, for you there really will be no possibility of defeating her.

► There never would be. As you have just pointed out, I am all alone, against all of you together, so for what to attack Sailormoon by surprise? There would be no point in it. Besides, it won't ever be that easy for anyone to get to kill me, anyhow.

► In fact... It would make no difference at all... But there is still something that's not very... I mean...

► I feel what you're wondering, why did I choose *you* for listening to me?

►

►

► Ya. Why not Sailormoon herself? Why *me*? — ["I already know why, Hotaru: somehow, you already knew that, in the end, I would follow in your footsteps; I *will* follow you — even into the inevitable death!"]

"So she wants to keep playing the game. Her fear still hopes that I won't confirm the things she already knows... Will she... Damn it! Fuck *my* fear, I must end this now!" — Hotaru finally found the courage and the strength to say:

► Because... because if I had the help from you, the Senshi of Fire, I could actually defeat not only Sailormoon but *all* her other allies too — especially my fucky Setsuna-mama and her obscene time tricks!...

► *Actually*???!

► *Yes*.

►

►

► Hotaru... I see... but... Hotaru... do you really believe that *I* would ever dare to *betray* Sailormoon?

► And why not? After all, to "betray" her won't ever be worse than to keep on betraying *yourself*!

► !

► !!

► Have I always been that transparent to your eyes?

► Do you still have any doubts?

►

►

► Well... and... are you absolutely *sure* that I can become that powerful?

► Yes, I *am*.

►

►

► Hotaru!, I'm with you!

► !!

► !!!

The revolutionary girl stood up and asked:

► Will you follow me?!

Hino Rei stood up too, and confirmed:

► Yes!

►

►

Hotaru took heart and continued:

► Even to our... death?

► *Yes*!

►

►

Looking deep into her friend's eyes, Tomoe Hotaru finally said:

► Even to our... *love*?

Rei found that she shouldn't really be feeling that surprised, although she was really feeling so; on that decisive afternoon, she had seen firstly Hotaru's sadness, then her rage, and at last she was staring at her deepest need, maybe the greatest of her weaknesses, perhaps her only one. Her need for love. Hino Rei didn't know that the girl with the power to destroy an entire planet could ever seem and *be* so vulnerable, so fragile, so weak, so despaired, — and so helpless, as she was daring to show on that moment of singularity and transition — probably the most honest moment in her whole existence. After having just experienced that "revelation", Rei definitely accepted that both Hotaru and she herself actually belonged nowhere, no epoch, no type of social group ever known, so that they would have to create their own space, their own time, and their own... people — somehow. "She *really* is not that different from *you*, Hino Rei — can you see it *now*? Now I do understand, now I do feel — if I were living *her* life, I myself would not and could not act differently than she's doing... Now I'm more than sure of my real destiny — *our* real destiny." After considering her own hopeless devotion to Usagi and Minako one more time, Rei concluded: "I've got to give my real love and my real life to the ones who truly want them, the ones who truly *deserve* them. And I am going to do it *now*". Hotaru's defenses were totally down — the rest of her life was depending absolutely on the answer that Rei was going to give to her last question; her aura was completely open-wide, and her friend could easily destroy her mind if she wished so — but the Hino Rei she was bringing to the light would not disappoint her expectation.

►

►

► Yes, Hotaru. I will *learn* to love you.

► ♥ ♥ ♥ !

► Be sure I'll do it, Saturn! In the name of Mars, I swear I'll do it!

► STARTING RIGHT NOW?

► *HAI*!

Rei thought: "Fuck my fear! Nothing's gonna stop me now!". Hotaru was showing her hunger for love in her violet eyes, and Rei just couldn't help feeling the same kind of hunger beginning to rise inside of her mouth. "I'm learning fast. My cunt!, how the fuck could I have been that blind? She is so *beautiful*... she is delicious!" Hotaru touched the lips of the Senshi of Fire with the tip of her tongue. Rei did not resist.

Two hours later, Sailorsaturn and Sailormars teleported to the Antarctic. From there they were going to rule the entire planet. But first they had to learn to feel and to move as one. Under the phantasmagoric light of the aurora australis Saturn showed Mars how to increase enormously the Senshi powers by extracting energy directly from the center of the Earth and from the core of any star, and how to focus the energy of the Senshi attacks upon even the smallest targets. With those techniques, not long ago Saturn had learned how to control the intensity of her new attacks and how to guide their power towards a chosen target, so that she could finally destroy her opponents without risking to destroy herself too anymore. She always suspected that Mars could use Ice Attacks, but she didn't expect that Mars had already mastered them so finely. The only thing that Mars didn't know about her Ice Powers was that they could be combined to her Fire Powers: Saturn taught her how to create the Selective Steam Shell — a defensive move even more efficient than the Silence Wall, for it could be totally insensitive to the time tricks and the Dead Scream of Sailorpluto — and the Cold Fire Blast, which could be as destructive as the faster-than-light Silence Glaive Scalar ShockWave — and how to use both powers simultaneously.

► My cunt! *Cold*... *black*... flames! I would never imagine that flames, *my* flames, could actually be cold... or black... Wow!

► I see that the first black flames are "unforgettable", Mars, but... can you *already* match my Purple Plasma Stream? Would you like to "test your might" right now?

► Yep... Let me try it!

► So here it goes! PLASMA STREAM! — and Sailorsaturn used her Silence Glaive to shoot a stream of bright purple plasma at Sailormars.

► COLD FIRE! — and the hands of Sailormars threw a flux of cold black flames against Saturn's Plasma Stream. The two streams of materialized altered bioplasma reached a deadlock.

►

►

►

► I feel I cannot match your Plasma Stream yet! Please stop!

►

► ???

►

► HEY!, I SAID "STOP!"!

► NOT YET, MY LOVE! — and Saturn just turned up her Purple Plasma Stream.

► I CANNOT STAND IT!

► YES YOU CAN!! SCALAR SHOCKWAVE!,...

► WHAT YOU'RE DOING????? NOOOOOOO!!!

► ...NOW!!!

The explosion caused by the minimum intensity of the Scalar ShockWave would have overkilled Sailormars if she was not protected by her Steam Shell.

► *Wake up now you lazy bitch*! STAND UP! — Sailorsaturn commanded while kicking her ally in the ass.

► HEY! WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING TO YOU? — Sailormars shouted in reply, but obeying her superior anyway.

► Stop complaining! Are you *hurt*?

►

►

► No... Really not!

► Feel any pain?

► ... No... I was not harmed at all!

► And that was due to the *minimum* level of virtual solidity of your new-born Steam Shell... have you understood, have you *felt* why one must learn resistance before ever learning strength? Understood why you *had* to learn the Steam Shell before learning the Cold Fire? And keep in mind, in the end your Steam Shell will protect you against Sailorpluto, but it won't pursue and won't defeat her! The moment your Cold Fire is able to match my new Senshi Attacks is the moment the two of us are able to destroy my fucky Setsuna-mama — and only then we'll bring Revolution to this world.

► Ya... I agree, but... why the heck...

► Just because your actual enemy won't ever tell you what their strategy is!

►

►

► I see... You're right.

► Yes, I know it...

► !!

► Listen: when I say that I love you, I mean that I will always help you to do your best. And I do expect you will learn to do the same for me.

► OK... I guess the first lessons are meant to be "unforgettable", too.

► So to speak... How about a break for kissing?

► Nice idea!

Mars' twenty-fifth Cold Fire Blast had been simply more than "unforgettable": she just shot it at the ocean, and thus created a six hundred meter high tidal wave; perfectly protected by the outshiningly bright-yellow aura of the Selective Steam Shell, that gigantic artificial tsunami really was an extremely scary phenomenon...

► Fuckingly beautiful!!! — Saturn exclaimed.

► Yes! it is!!!... Sailorsaturn!, in the name of Mars I'll punish anybody who gets in our way — I swear!

"SYSTEM UNINSTALL"

► I like this. Thank you!

► So you were not sleeping!

► Lucky me. If I were, I couldn't have witnessed the perfect sincerity of your love.

► Don't you ever dare to have any doubt about the sincerity of my love for you! — Mars exclaimed, trying to look angry.

► Good! You win.

► By the way, as you mentioned *sincerity*...

► Yes?

► Well... you really don't need my help to defeat all the other Senshi... or do you?

► Good! Really. On that afternoon... I still was *very* afraid; for you might refuse to be on my side... Then I couldn't help telling a white-lie, just a little one. Forgive me.

► I won't. But *you* will.

► Thank you, again! — It's... *done*. — Anyway, I *didn't* lie when I said that I need your help to defeat Sailorpluto. As I promised, very soon I will explain it all to you. — But you're trying to tell me something else...

► Yes, I am. — Saturn... today I understand that I would never be able to love Usagi and Minako truely, however... I still... I...

► You still want them. — With or without love. — And with or without *me*.

► Exactly. It's a need of mine!... PLEASE...

►

►

► Mars... I understand. And I accept it. I will not ever mind sharing yourself with anybody else.

► THANK YOU SO MUCH, SATURN!

► Not at all, my love! — However, maybe — or rather, probably...

► I know. These decisions have to be theirs, not mine.

►

► Indeed. Maybe they'd rather die. Probably I will *have* to kill them.

► As for me, for sure I will destroy Haruka and Michiru. And I will allow yourself to kill Tuxedo Kamen.

► THANK YOU VERY MUCH, HOTARU-SAMA!

► You know what? I admit I would be very glad if Ami changed her heart and decided to be with us.

► !

► I'm *not* kidding, Mars.

► Yep... Do you believe she would?

► I don't know. In fact she is much cleverer than she has used to show, at least it should be less difficult to her to go wise. For instance, she could finally learn to be beautiful.

► Ha ha ha ha ha! *Indeed*!

► COLD FIRE NOW!

► PLASMA STREAM! — MARS, YOU BITCH!

► I'M JUST A MIRROR!

►

►

► SCALAR SHOCKWAVE NOW!

►

►

► I STILL AM FINE. THANK YOU FOR THAT TENDER SHOCKWAVE!

► YOU'RE WELLCOME! SCALAR SURPRISE, LEVEL TWO!

► HEY! *MY* STEAM SHELL! WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING TO IT?

► I HAVE... JUST *COPIED* IT. STOP YOUR COLD FIRE AND TAKE A LOOK AT ME NOW!

►

►

► My cunt! Now you too have a Steam Shell surrounding your body! — How many surprises do you still hide from me?

► As many as I need, my love. Anyway, congratulations! At last your powers can match mine.

► Good! — By the way,... would you mind telling me *now* how my cunt am I going to help you to defeat your fucky Setsuna-mama?

► No, I wouldn't. — Sit down, please.

► As you command!

►

►

► One day, I learned that the basic structure of the entire Universe was never meant to allow effective manipulations of time; that is, for instance, time-travels should always be a physical impossibility, and...

► But Sailorpluto can do time-travel! She can even stop the time itself! What you say...

► What I say is that not only she, but also several other... "creatures", so to speak, did alter the basic structure of the Universe in order to make those time-tricks be possible.

► Really????? That sounds... phantastic!

► Or rather, very inconvenient, indeed. — However, people like *you*, Mars, are able to *undo* that obscene shitwork — once and for all, hopefully.

►

►

► *How*?

► Have you ever tried to reach the *absolute zero*?

► Never! For it is physically impossible...

► That's just what we all have been *mistaught*. The remaining copies of the annotations written by my Souichi-papa taught me quite otherwise. The Ice Palace we are living in is materialized and kept hidden by the scalar energy gadgets he designed, have you already forgotten it? Or rather, what I'm trying to say is: the absolute zero *is* reachable, in spite of those who state otherwise. Still any doubts?

► ... No. *I trust you*.

► FINE! Now, can you guess what happens when the temperature of an object is zero Kelvin?

► Let me think a little... If the absolute zero is possible, but also "impossible",... Well, if an object should be 'absolute-zeroed', then it should *disappear* from the known Universe — am I correct?

► EXCELLENT! Essentially, yes. Actually, it will be sent to an energyless space-time structure that he named "time-basement"...

► "Time-basement"? What a name!

►

►

►

► And?

► And... when those creatures altered the Universe, for sure they did alter the time-basement too. According to my calculations, I presume that sending at least some pounds of certain substances into the time-basement can restore the original basic structure of the Universe...

► Wow!...

►

► Then Sailorpluto will have to count on her Dead Scream only, and will be no match for our new Senshi powers.

► Ya.

► Great... Wait a minute!, I recall you told me that my Steam Shell would...

► But it *does*, trust me, — don't matter 'how' or 'why', for now at least. On the moment you created your first Steam Shell, her "Dark Dome Close" and "Time Stop" moves did become a physical impossibility — and she hasn't realized it yet. But she still can time-travel, as well as modify both the past and the future — that is, she remains fuckily able to preserve the-same-old-shit-of-always. She cannot make *you* time-travel against your will anymore, but she still can do it to herself and her allies. That is, she can't use her time-tricks to attack us anymore, but she still can use them to escape — and to counter foul.

► I see. That's not good.

► One more thing. On the exact instant you cool an object to the absolute zero, Setsuna will finally feel that "something's wrong". And very soon she will be after *you*. — Ready to face her?

► Don't you mean: are *you*, Saturn, ready to face her?

►

►

► I hope so.

► A cube of metal!

► It's made of a special alloy. Fifty per cent gold and fifty per cent silver.

► Electrum!

► Yes.

► Its weight?

► Around forty pounds.

► So this is the "object" that you want me to cool to the absolute zero...

► But not at here. It has to be done in the right place.

► "The right place"... where?

► One of the magnetic poles of this planet.

► Why at there?

► Because that place can function as a sort of space-time portal, so to say... From there the correcting distortion induced by your absolute zero Senshi power will propagate instantaneously across the entire Universe.

► Saturn... I would like not to know why, but on this moment I wish that G*d actually existed... just in order to kiss you and me good-luck...

► You fool... just make believe that we ARE G*d...

► Saturn! This *is* the place where you made me get my first Steam Shell.

► Of course.

►

►

►

► Ready?

► Never. But I don't care!

Mars pointed the palms of her hands at the cube of electrum and started to absorb energy from its atoms. A double stream of blue plasma rose from the cube and began to flow to her hands. When the temperature of the cube reached 0.0000000015 Kelvin... she started to feel not so good.

["My cunt! This madness is hurting me! OOOUUUCH!"]

► Mars! What the fuck am I making you do? You're looking horrible!

► Don't worry! I feel that I will stand it!...

► No! Stop it now!, please! You can try it again later! Stop and let me ease your pains!...

► No! Help me later... 'cause I am meant to survive this fucky hell...

► My love!...

► PLEASE... DON'T... SPEAK!...

["My legs... are so weak... I feel like kneeling... I *am* kneeling... I'm so dizzy... but I don't want to stop... I may not stop before... hey!, what... my cunt... is that... happening... over there?"]

Mars was seeing a small green cloud forming around the cube; after having hidden the cube completely, the small green cloud went brighter and brighter, until it suddenly disappeared — together with the cube that was inside of it.

► MARS! YOU'VE MADE IT!

► My... cunt...!... I've... made it...

► Now *you* don't speak! Lie down!

► I've... made it... 'cause... I love you...

Saturn gently made her lie down. Mars could not keep her eyes open; she was almost unconscious. "Fuck! You're looking like crap! Forgive me!" Then Saturn touched the thymic chakra of Mars with the tip of her right middle finger and started to replenish the etheric body of Mars with magnetality. "Very soon you'll be fine again, I swear!" About three minutes later, it was Saturn who was 'looking like crap'. "But I can heal myself. Within five or ten minutes, I will be fine again. Hope she don't wake up before that... Fuck!... The sky is looking different!... That has nothing to do with the aurora polaris... Those red lights... must be... one of the side-effects... of the correcting distortion... They're fading... away... Those red... lights... *are* fading... away... So soon?... Yes... The original... structure... of the Universe... has just been restored... My cunt!, I was right... I *am* right... Sailorpluto, come to me, and be ready... to be destroyed..."

► "Shit! *Double* shit! The original space-time structure of the Universe has just been restored! And I do know who has done it: Sailormars! And I do know who taught her how to do it: Sailorsaturn! And I do know why they did it! Fuck!, how could I have been so blind? Five days ago they seemingly disappeared, and we all have been supposing they were kidnapped by another alien enemy... Matter of fact they have been working together, against Sailormoon, and first of all against *myself*! And here comes the worst part: after all, my mission didn't succeed. I failed. I couldn't impeach the resurrection of the Senshi of Destruction. And I am not Sailorpluto anymore. Totally unable to control time, am I still Sailorpluto? No! Fuck! Shame on me! *Double* shame on me! Setsuna, now you'd better die; so do it, and with honor!"

"Haruka-kun, Michiru-san, Small Lady:

I have just discovered what really happened to Hotaru-chan and Rei-san. Now they are not our allies, but our enemies. Sooner or later they will overtly fight Sailormoon. They are more powerful and dangerous than ever. I mean exactly what you are thinking of right now: the true self of Sailorsaturn, the actual Senshi of Destruction, is back, and will be here to stay. Our mission didn't succeed. We failed. I know where they are, and right now I'm leaving for there. On the moment you read this letter, I will be dead. Sailorsaturn will have killed me. I do know you believe that a true Senshi won't ever give in without a fight — even with no possibilities of victory. Sorry, but that truly is not my style. Especially today. Because they did find a way to disable my time powers, I cannot be the real Sailorpluto anymore, so I am not a true Sailorsenshi either. I wish there could be some sense in wishing you good-luck at fighting them. But all I can and must say to you now is good-bye. Thank you for having eased my loneliness for a nice while.

Meiou Setsuna."

► I didn't think it would be that easy...

► I didn't, either. Nevertheless, 'twas not that unexpectable of a person like her. — Could you please incinerate it? There can't ever be honor in a dead body.

► As you command. — FIAAAAAAAAAAR... SOOOUL!

\\ EXCERPT FROM EXTREME SAILORMARS' DIARY
\\

Aquarius Date: 00000.6

Today I began to erase my past — and my future. My present is all that matters. Ojii-san truely cared for me. Much more than my fucky father would ever dare to do. But now I don't have to pretend I've liked him just in order to prevent myself from feeling guilty. Notwithstanding, he would not deserve to live under the oppression that Extreme Sailorsaturn and I are about to bring to this world. I killed him. He died fast and without pain. As he deserved. As for Phobos and Deimos, they would always be living bonds to my past. I don't want bonds to my past — especially living ones. I killed them too.

\\
\\ END OF EXCERPT

► Rei!

► Dad!

► I... What...

► Today I just felt like seeing you... Didn't you like the surprise?

► Well!... oh... sure, I'm glad to see you here, but...

► Why do you look so embarrassed? Just because today is not my birthday?

► Uh... well... it's hard to admit, but... all these years... and I really... don't know what to say now... Sorry...

► That's not a problem, dad!... I do comprehend you! But today I really want to talk to you. I intend to make this night a special one, just for the two of us, my dad! May I come in?

► Of course! Come on in!

.
.
.

► Want your favorite drink?

► Kind of you, dad. Please!

.
.
.

► Here it is.

► Thanks, dad.

►

►

►

► Do you like this dress?

► Sure! The one I gave to you...

► ... my birthday, last year.

► Yes. It makes you look even more beautiful!

► Yes, I know it. And... Dad, I *do* know why you always give me white dresses for my birthdays.

► *Really*?

► Really. Because you like to make me remind you of my mother. You *love* to see me look like her.

► !

► Have you noticed how much I look like her tonight?

► In fact, I couldn't help noticing...

► And... what if I *actually* looked like... the woman that was your wife? The woman that you married many years ago? What if... if I... *acted* like your wife? What if I *loved* you, just like mother used to do?

► REI!!!

► Would you like it?

► Rei! My *daughter*! You really don't mean...

► YES!, I MEAN IT!

► NO! What the hell has happened to you? You sound like a...

► ... dirty bitch?

► !

► Oh!, come on! It's so plain to see, you would adore to possess me! And ain't nothing wrong with it, I'm sure! Deep inside... every man thinks and feels the same as you do! Of course they usually don't dare to admit it, but this fact should never mean a thing to special people like *ourselves*, dad! Do you *really* believe that there may never exist happy exceptions to the most fucking stupid rule ever? *We* can be one of those exceptions, dad, — right here, right tonight...

► No! Never! I won't let it happen! Get the hell out of my house now! Go away and don't look at my face anymore! Forget and deny that I am your father, I will forget and deny that you are my daughter! GO!

► Oh!, how funny hypocrisy can be! So you may feel that you want me, but you may not fulfill that harmless desire. For what? Why?

► Because

► THAT'S NONSENSE, DAD! And just in case you haven't realized yet, I'm here tonight not only because I know that you want me, but especially because I have always wanted you too!

► Rei!

► Yes! Matter of fact I have no interest in men...

► !!!

► ... but you're an *exception* to this rule of mine... you know what, one day, I even thought that I really had fallen in love for other man, for Kaidou-san... but, as I said, it was just a thought, an illusion,... quite different from what I have been feeling for you during all these years, since 1981...

► WHAT?????!

► ... truly, dad, you're the only man that I would give my cunt to.

► MY G*D!

► Dad! All that we need is just one night together!... All that we need is only one night... to remember for the rest of our lives... am I asking for too much?

► KEEP AWAY FROM ME!

► So you're *afraid*? Afraid of *me*? Afraid of *yourself*? Remember!, it was *you* who taught me to think that a *real* man does not ever fear his own inner truth! Ain't you a *real* man, dad?

► !

► I know that you *are* a real man, dad... you just need a little help from your pretty daughter... to bring him out one more time... Let me kiss your hand... fine!... now, feel my tongue, caressing your arm... don't it feel good?...

► Rei! My *daughter*! Please stop!, or

► OR *WHAT*? YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO RESIST YOURSELF? WHY SHOULD YOU? LOOK INTO MY EYES, LOOK AT MY FACE! DON'T YOU LIKE WHAT YOU SEE? DON'T YOU LIKE TO SEE A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN? A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN THAT IS OPEN WIDE FOR YOU? DON'T YOU? DON'T YOU LIKE TO BE KISSED BY A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN...

.
.
.

► ... ain't my kiss as good as the kisses of all the other beautiful women that you have already fucked?

► No!!! It's *better*! *Much*...

.
.
.

► ... better...

► Bye, dad. You died happy, though you didn't deserve it. Well, I did deserve to taste you, so there was no other way. If this fuck had happened several years ago... things wouldn't have been very different. You would have kept preferring your stupid politics to caring for me. Just like you preferred your stupid politics to the cunt of my mother. However in my world there won't be politics at all. Extreme Sailorsaturn will rule this planet, but without hypocrisy.

► Hello!, Mamoru-san! Do you still remember me?

Chiba Mamoru turned his head to the left, and saw a freaky suicide-blonde, a girl with yellow eyes and yellow finger-nails, wearing white sneakers, black leggings and a long red T-shirt.

► Don't you recognize me?

► Do *you* know me?

► Don't you recognize *me*?

► No!... How could I? I have never seen you, I'm sure! And rather, this is the first time I see someone so...

► ... *freaky*?

► But, *who* are you? And how the hell do you know who I am?

► MARS EXTREME POWER, MAKE UP!

► WHAT?????

► PREPARE TO DIE, YOU SHIT!

► SAILORMARS????? WHAT...

► POWER SNOWDRIFT!

► My legs! — YOU CRAZY BITCH!, YOU FROZE MY LEGS!

► And now I break them!

► OOOOOUUUUUCH!!!!!

► How do you do, "Mr. Nice Guy"? I just want you to know that I have always wanted Usagi, and in the end she will be mine, for one night at least! And never more she will be touched by a man, for I will not allow that sort of shit to happen again! Now, you may rest in peace, "Mr. Nice Guy"... FUCK OFF AND DIE!!!!! —
BUUURNIIING DEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATH... ... ... ... ... MANDAAAAALA!

► ... .

► In the name of Mars I have chastised you!

After having enjoyed the pleasure to kill one more nice time, she could think only this:

"Against wimps like him, using my full strength is unnecessary!"

► My "dear" Chibi-usa... you'll never know how much you bored me to the bones... and now you're gonna pay for that! Now that you cannot henshin into Sailorshit... I will enjoy the pleasure to torture your body to death with my very hands. By the way, the gag and the ropes you're wearing, how well they fit you? Are you hungry? Thirsty? How about a cup of blood of talking cats? It tastes so sweet, believe me!

► Hello?

► Usagi-san?

► Me myself! Haruka-san?

► Ya. Finally we've got some news about Rei-san and Hotaru-chan.

► Really!?

► Yes. But not on the telephone. Can you be here tonight?

► I'm going to there right now. Thank you very much! See you there!

► See ya.

► Next target is...

► Haruka and Michiru.

► May I help you?

► Yes. But don't forget,

► I won't.

► Fine.

|Usagi| Cunt! I cannot believe it's true! I even understand that Saturn has returned to her evil nature, but as for Mars... we have always been best of friends, in spite of all our eventual "barks and bites"...

|Haruka| Usagi-san, that friendship is past, now. Today Mars is just a slave to the Senshi of Destruction.

|Michiru| And Sailorpluto *chose* to be murdered by them. I didn't think she could be so... I don't know what to say.

|Makoto| I see we all feel very sad now, but it's time for fight! We've got to work out a plan.

|Minako| I don't disagree, Mako-chan, but... what the hell will be the starting point? We have no idea of where the fuck they are hiding away, or whatever they are doing or planning to do...

|Makoto| Damn it Minako! Did you know that you're really looking like crap tonight? You are free to feel down and out okay, but please don't try to make myself and the others feel just like you're doing!

Aino Minako was not a seer, but Hino Rei was not the only one who had foreseen the type of things that was going to happen on that night. On the day that Hotaru and Rei had "disappeared", she began to feel that her fears were about to come true; and on the moment that Haruka and Michiru showed her the last letter from Setsuna,... she could have no more doubts, the nightmare she had foreseen was not a mere vision anymore, it was finally ready to be transformed into reality...

► Makoto... Usagi-chan!... There is no use in trying to hide the truth from you all... I will not refuse to face our next enemy, but... I have to admit that I am scared. I'm afraid that this night is the moment we'll have to say good-bye to one another, my friends...

|Haruka| BAKA!

|Michiru| What a strange smell! Do you feel it?

|Ami| It smells of a mixture of acetylene *and* ozone... It *is* ozone! —
No!, I mean, it *is* a... *teleport*! Someone or something is materializing in here!

|Saturn| Very well!, dear Ami-chan! Cleverer than ever!

|Usagi| Sailorsaturn!

|Haruka| Saturn!, you cracked whore! Show yourself now, you coward! Let me see your face!

|Ami| Phantastic! It's a very incomplete materialization! She remains invisible, and we cannot even determine where her voice is coming from!

|Minako| You and your stupid, untimely, and useless comments, for a change! What about preparing to fight?

NEPTUNE CRYSTAL POWER, MAKE UP!

URANUS CRYSTAL POWER, MAKE UP!

JUPITER CRYSTAL POWER, MAKE UP!

VENUS CRYSTAL POWER, MAKE UP!

MERCURY CRYSTAL POWER, MAKE UP!

MOON... PRINCESS... CRISIS..., MAKE UP!

|Saturn| Beautiful! Every one in here is Sailorsomething! So, now comes my turn to show up. However I warn you all, you will see me, but you won't be able to touch me!

|Uranus| What do you mean by that bullshit? Are you a ghost or something now?

|Mars| So to speak...

|Moon| Mars! Then it's true, you are with her! CUNT! How could you do that to all of us? How could you do that to *me*?

|Mars| Don't you mean: how could I ever dare to leave a wimp in order to follow a winner? How could I ever dare to prefer betraying you to betraying myself?

|Moon| Cunt! It looks like she's gone completely nuts!...

|Mars| Me!, nuts? Ha ha ha! Thank you!

|Saturn| Here we are by last! Admire our bright-yellow brand-new beauties!

|Mercury| My ...! — The Senshi of Water couldn't help blushing for the word she didn't dare to say. Nevertheless, without thinking she walked towards the images of Mars and Saturn.

|Neptune| Mercury! What the fuck you're doing?

|Mercury| It's true! Look, I'm behind Saturn, but you still can see me, can't you? Look at this now, my arm is right inside of the image of Mars, but actually there is nothing to be touched in here! It's a pure selective emission of visible photons into our material world! It's truly fascinating! — And very cold too, by the way.

|Venus| Mercury!, you daughter of an encyclopaedia, do you think this is a circus? They are about to destroy all of us but you still behave like Mizuno Ami the student! *AIN'T YOU REALLY GOING INSANE*?

Those words from Venus could do make Mercury take an inner break for thinking very seriously. And very *fast*. Less than five seconds later, she replied, with a self-confidence and tranquillity she had never demonstrated before:

► You know what? It's possible, maybe I am going quite insane, if you still believe words like that have ever been meaningful. And I don't care.

|Venus| WHAT?

|Neptune| Holy shit!

|Jupiter| We're doomed!

|Moon| MERCURY! Whom are you going to fight, them or ourselves?

|Mercury| Are you serious, Sailormoon?

|Moon| OF COURSE I AM!

|Mercury| As you insist... This time I simply won't fight. And, "after all is said and done", so to say, I will simply choose to be with the winner — Sailorsaturn, by the way.

|Moon| FUCK!

|Mars| Sailormercury!, in the name of Saturn I wellcome you!

|Saturn| HA HA HA HA HA!

|Venus| Mercury! You can't mean it!

|Mercury| Of course I can. And I *do*.

|Uranus| YOU COWARD! I DON'T FORGIVE YOU!

Sailoruranus really was going to attack Sailormercury; but Sailormars promptly realized: "The 'action' must beginn *now*!", and let the warrior in herself assume total control of the situation.

► POWER SNOWDRIFT!

|Moon| Mars!

|Neptune| Haruka!

|Mercury| My ...!

|Uranus| My arms!... are frozen! I cannot move them! FUCK!

|Mars| HELIUM FROSTBITE!

|Mercury| Cunt!

|Uranus| MICHIRU!

|Moon| Neptune!... her entire body is frozen!...

|Mercury| ... with solid helium!

|Jupiter| Mercury!, you useless shit!, shut the fuck up — once and for all!

|Venus| Cunt! Now she's got Ice Powers too!

|Saturn| Haruka-papa, Michiru-mama, I'm glad to say that the party is over for the two of you. SCALAR SHOCKWAVE!

The silent explosion produced by the Scalar Shockwave reduced the bodies of Neptune and Uranus to a heavy cloud of dust and steam.

|Moon| NOOOOO!

|Jupiter| Fuck! Ain't nothing we can do! We really can't defeat them!

|Saturn| You're absolutely right, Jupiter. Then, you don't need to be Sailorsenshi anymore. SCALAR SURPRISE, LEVEL ONE!

With this new Senshi move Saturn undid the Sailor henshin to Moon, Venus and Jupiter, but not to Mercury.

|Usagi| Cunt!

|Minako| Fuck!

|Makoto| Damn it! Who is gonna be the next one to die?

|Mars| COLD FIRE BLAST!

|Mercury| *Black* flames! My cunt!

|Minako| Makoto!

|Usagi| NOOOOO! STOP!!! MARS!, SATURN!, STOP!, PLEASE STOP THIS MADNESS NOW! PLEASE!, PLEASE!!, PLEASE!!!

|Minako| USAGI-CHAN!

Usagi sat down on the floor and started to cry her eyes out.

|Minako| Usagi-chan...

|Usagi| DON'T TOUCH ME, MINAKO! LEAVE ME ALONE! YOU CAN'T HELP ME NOW! NO ONE CAN HELP ME NOW! GET THE HELL AWAY FROM ME! GET THE HELL AWAY FROM ME RIGHT NOW!!!

|Mars| I feel it's time for walking in.

|Saturn| Indeed.

|Minako| So there you are! At last you're "touchable"!

|Mars| Yes. But so what? What could you possibly do against me *now*?

|Minako| THIS!

Minako slapped Mars on the face.

|Mars| Thank you!

Mars replied with an uppercut.

► Now sit down over there, and *wait*!

Minako obeyed. She was so angry that she too started to cry.

► Mercury! I'm very glad to see you're not afraid of me...

► Saturn... actually I am afraid, but I won't... I won't let my fears get in my way — never more!

► Fine. — FINE! — And... does that *really* mean you want to fight for me?

► Yes! I know I have never been very powerful, but...

► Don't worry. I will teach you how to become more powerful, just like I taught it to Mars. In fact, just like I taught it to *myself*.

► Oh! Will you, really?

► Of course. Would you like to start it right now?

► For sure!

► OK. So, let's leave *them* alone. You see, Mars has something to talk to Usagi and Minako, and that's not of our business.

► OK! Let's go!

.

.

.

► Usagi... there is not a less hard way to tell you this. Saturn killed Chibi-usa and the cats, and I killed Mamoru.

► WHAT?????

► You don't say! What a big big big surprise!

► Minako!, shut up! It's not your turn to speak yet!

► Monster! You monster! For what reason are you helping that fucky bitch to destroy all of our lives? *Why*?

►

►

► Just because I got tired of screwing up *my* life in the name of things I have never believed very much anyway.

► What do you mean? That from now on you believe in evil and injustice?

► Well, it depends on what one exactly means by those words. Listen, if I told you the truth that I have come to know, would you believe it?

► Why don't you try it? Right now I have nothing left to lose, and nothing better to do! Yes, I think I can stand listening to you for a while, before you decide it's time for killing me!

► I realize you are "impossible". Now I'm gonna talk to Minako. For the time being, try to meditate on the reason why it was so easy to defeat you and the remainder of the Sailorsenshi; meditate on the reason why it was so easy to destroy Sailorpluto. Try to listen to your heart — if you have one.

► !

► Minako!

► May I speak now?

► Yes.

► Thank you. WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?

Immediately Mars felt there would never be a place for Minako in her life. Finally she understood it. The probabilities of making Usagi love her were greater than zero. But the probabilities of making Minako give in to her were absolutely less than zero. Minako would never get to feel for Mars anything except hate and despise. Besides, Mars didn't intend to learn so soon to survive such a hellish type of relationship.

► Your life. I *have* to kill you.

► Liar! You *don't* have to kill me! You *want* to kill me! You *hypocrite*!

► !

►

► You *were* right. My hypocrisy is over. I *want* to kill you.

► MAKE IT SO!

"No!!! One more death! Minako!!!..." — Usagi muttered to herself, more astonished and scared than ever.

► Usagi, your break for meditation is over. Have you...

► NO!!! MARS!, DON'T KILL ME!, PLEASE DON'T KILL ME! DON'T YOU REMEMBER WE HAVE BEEN BEST OF FRIENDS? DON'T LET IT END, DON'T DO IT! I DON'T WANT TO DIE BY YOUR HANDS!, I DON'T WANT TO DIE IN THIS WAY!!! NO!!! NO!!! NO!!! PLEASE!!!

► YOU COWARD! YOU WIMP! YOU CRY-BABY! At last you stopped pretending that you have improved yourself after all these years! Never more you will pretend that you can be the leader of the Senshi, never more you will be Sailormoon! You were not born to be a fighter! You do know how hard I tried to make you change for better. Right today I do see how much I had been fooling myself. I wanted you to get your best because I loved you. However your real best is not the same as my real best. I thought it was. I was wrong. I used to think that I loved you in spite of your weaknesses. Today I feel that I still love you right because of your weaknesses. I know it's a silly and dumb and stupid thing, probably some day it will destroy me, but I just can't help it, and I really don't care! I don't want Sailormoon, I don't want Tsukino Usagi, what I want from you is only the real you, Usagi — *MY* Usagi. So you don't want to die by my hands, huh? Fine! Then you already know that for you there will not be other way of living than being my mate, my woman, my wife! Do you agree?

► ... YES!...

► Are you deaf or something? Do you *agree*?

► ... I... I AGREE!...

► Really? Tell me that you're *mine*!

► I'M YOURS!

► Fine! Stand up!

►

► Hold my hand!

►

► Now follow me!

► I FOLLOW YOU!

"THE MIDDAY DARKNESS"

► Mercury... Mars... Any questions?

► No! — said Mercury.

► Yes! — said Mars.

► Mercury, you may leave and do your "worldwork" now. We'll see you later.

► As you command, Saturn!

► So, Mars... what's up?

► There is something that you haven't told me yet.

► Or rather, something that you have been too busy to notice — or to ask me.

► Oh no! Aren't you

► No, I'm not. I am not criticizing you, no way, I'm just mentioning a fact. As I really had to be busy with teaching Mercury, then there really was no reason for you to postpone or disturb your honey"moon". By the way, how does it do?

► Deliciously!

► And how does she feel about her present situation?

► Usagi has been the sweetest and most perfect of the slaves. It is all she had been actually wanting. I really wanna thank you!

► You already know how to do it, don't you?

Mars stood up and kissed Saturn. Some seconds later:

► Your question is... ?

► Well... I've been feeling that... well, controlling this planet will never be enough to your wants. Am I right?

► Yes, you are right. Are you... afraid of that?

► I... I know that I really should not, but... Yes, I am a little afraid of that.

► Interesting. Mercury is not.

► Good! At least at something she is better than I.

► Really. Let me show you something that for sure will kill that fear of yours.

Saturn held her Silence Glaive with her two hands, broke it into two pieces, and threw them to the floor.

► SATURN! What my cunt have you done!?

► I don't need it any longer. My new supreme destructive power can do reduce *the whole Universe* into nothingness. The Silence Glaive was the only thing that might ever interrupt my Universal Death —

► Revolution!

► Thanks. From now on, nothing and no one will ever stop me! And if we ever face someone stronger than I, for sure their courage will never be greater than mine. We will never lose. *I* will never lose. — PLASMA STREAM!

► STEAM SHELL! — SATURN!, YOU BITCH!

► HA HA HA HA HA!

► Stop this test! It's time for *my* "worldwork"!

► As you wish!

► And *don't* forget, six double-hours more, it will be *your* turn!

► Oh my cunt!, you look even more beautiful when you're angry!

► I know it! For you, my love, — everything!

Twelve hours later, Saturn began to add her "worldwork" to the ones of Mercury and Mars. Eighteen hours later, all the earthlings already knew that their planet had just accepted its legitimate Empress — Extreme Sailorsaturn, the ultimate Avatar of Shiva.

"BECAUSE"

"Like the dust that settles all around me, I must find a new home; the ways and holes that used to give me shelter, are all as one to me now. But I, I would search everywhere, just to hear your call, and walk upon stranger roads than this one in a world I used to know before. More than the sun reflecting off my pillow, ringing the warmth of new life, I do miss you; and the sound that echoes all around me, I caught a glimpse of in the night; but now, now I've lost everything, I give to you my soul. The meaning of all that I believed before escapes me in this world of none, no thing, no one; and I would search everywhere just to hear your call, and walk upon stranger roads than this one in a world I used to know before. 'Cause now I've lost everything, I give to you my soul; the meaning of all that I believed before escapes me in this world of none. I miss you more."

["AFTERGLOW" — by *Genesis*]

Aquarius Date 00003.7

Twenty-four days ago, the human History was ended by Extreme Sailorsaturn. I did help her to make it, however I am sure she actually would never need any help from me for doing it. I still am trying to understand completely what has happened to my existence since the day I witnessed the fall of Sailormoon. I didn't think something like that could ever really happen... and I would never imagine it would be in that way. Anyhow, 'twas good that it did happen. The lies of the Moon Kingdom were finished forever, once and for all. Today I am Extreme Sailormercury, and I have nothing to do with the one that once was known as Sailormoon. Even better, Mizuno Ami the fool is dead — or being killed slowly, at least. No one but me myself will ever know how miserable my former life was. I was friendless, hopeless, loveless,... and senseless. Right today I still am friendless and loveless, but I can do feel hope, and I have found some sense. It was already so hard to have to live my ordinary life as Mizuno Ami... and I had to be another slave to Sailormoon, too! I always hated to have had to remember who I was one thousand years ago. Living only one stupid life is not shit enough? But I had no choice; well, at least I believed I didn't have any. I was so despaired because of my loneliness that I had to keep Usagi's faked care for me; and for the same reason I never dared to tell her that the Moon Kingdom died only because nothing lasts forever, and that sending our spirits into the future had been just a foul and cowardly trick. And then, all against my true will, I accepted to be Sailormercury again, as though Death really had never taken our common past far away...

I still do recall my last childhood... how much I hated the effective inferiority of the women before the men! How much I have always hated the stupidity of the men — and of the women as well! And how much I did hate to have to be powerless! Yes, this was the second reason why I accepted to be Sailormercury again: to be able to experience the power once more. As a child, and a female one, I could not stand to admit my absolute lack of power, so one day I thought that knowledge could some day, somehow, compensate it. But of course I was wrong. Being clever could never prevent me from being too shy, or having a low self-esteem... learning more and more very soon became just my favorite way of escaping from facing the others. And also a way of being *used!* by my false friends, by my schoolmates,... and by Sailormoon! Deep inside I have never liked Usagi; I really liked her one thousand years ago, when I still was not Mizuno Ami, and when she was not Tsukino Usagi — and this fact is only a memory today. Deep inside she fooled even herself; she believed that she liked me only in order to prevent herself from feeling guilty for having been just using me. If she and the other Senshi together were more powerful, my brains would be totally useless to them, and probably I would never have been recalled of my former existence as a Sailorsenshi. What a slut she was! What perfect bastards those cats were! And what a fool I had been! Sailorsaturn for sure is much better than Sailormoon: she does not need me — she wants me.

The day Extreme Sailorsaturn destroyed Sailormoon was the best gift that Fate could ever send to me. Till then, I believed that my life had no salvation anymore; but on the exact moment that I *felt* and *saw* that a new and invincible power had just risen, I just could not hide my joy: yes!, at last I could be free again, at last I could stop pretending! I could, if — if I joined Saturn. However, I didn't know whether she would like me to join her; but I had to try it, in spite of my fear and hesitation. Something in her voice did tell me that she wanted me to be her ally; but I kept hesitating, wanting not to be sure, until I unconsciously made Sailorvenus call me "insane". Well, when I finally saw Mars and Saturn together, more beautiful than ever, surrounded by the bright-yellow auras of their Steam Shells, I did think: "I *want* to be like them!", and I only acted as accordingly as I could. Notwithstanding, my fear started to fade away only when Saturn herself explicitly asked me whether I really wanted to join her. Because when Mars said "in the name of Saturn I wellcome you!", and Saturn laughed at it, I did fear I had just performed the most stupid action ever in my whole life. It seemed that they had not taken me seriously, or even worse, that they would never give a fuck about my wish. I already knew that Sailormoon and the other Senshi were going to be eliminated, and from them on I did fear I was just going to be the last one of them to be forever destroyed by Mars or by Saturn. And from then on, I only had to watch the new-born Extreme Senshi kill Neptune, Uranus and Makoto — and make Usagi finally show that Sailormoon actually had died one thousand years ago, and would never be successfully reborn in the present. Today Usagi is only the favorite sex-toy of Mars — well done!

The love Saturn and Mars feel for each other... is admirable. Beautiful. Probably the love between Saturn and *me* will be that beautiful too, however... I do feel that I'm not ready for it yet. But Saturn understands me, and she's been patient with this. She did tell me: "You know what, Mercury,... you are not pretty at all, as you already know, notwithstanding, I do feel an undeniable sexual attraction for you. And as I *am* beautiful, I guess it won't be that difficult to let yourself show that deep inside you feel the same for me.". Sooner or later I will stop resisting her charms — or myself, as she clearly stressed. What I am still very afraid of is something odd that I felt about her; I mentioned this to Mars, and she told me the following: "It is her own special way of making love: she can do make my spirit lodge at her body, and her spirit lodge at my body; for some moments, I am Saturn and Saturn is me. The very first time it happened, I couldn't help feeling a bit scared, but very quickly I got used to it, and now I even enjoy it.". Well, I must admit that I am not ready for that yet. It still sounds like a mutual psychic rape, and it is going to take some more time until I am able to accept it as just another perfectly natural possibility. Anyway, she does want to love me, much like she loves Mars. She does not need us; she wants not only to possess our bodies, but also to bring out the truest of our selves. She increased the Senshi powers of both Mars and myself only because she wanted to *see* the best of us made true. So, she does deserve to receive my love — and she will receive it, though not so soon.

At first I went quite shocked for discovering that only as a cyborg I could have a virtually infinite and invincible power. But then Saturn reminded me of the scary black flames of Extreme Sailormars and pointed out that Mars would never be able to collect and manage the enourmous quantities of energy required for merging the fire power with the ice power if she had not been turned into a cyborg like Saturn herself. Saturn described to me how difficult it was to have had to be the surgeon and the patient at the same time, and swore that she would make the surgery be painless to me, and that it would leave no scars at all on my skin. After killing my hesitation, but not my fear, I accepted to have a bionic replacement. Less then forty minutes were all the time she needed to remove my organic womb and put an equivalent bionic device between my oviducts and my vagina. And yes, I felt no pain at all, and the surgery didn't leave any scars on my skin, as she promised me. Two hours later, I had energy enough to light my fire powers, and four hours later I got my first Cold Fire. I confess I was a bit disappointed because my cold flames were not black, but that disappointment didn't last long, fortunately. Now I am very fond of my blue cold flames — and of my bionic womb too.

Twenty-four days ago I killed my so-called family. In fact, it was the very first part of what Saturn ironically named my "worldwork". Though a little part of the old me showed some resistance and tried to get in my way, it was not that difficult at all — quite otherwise, it made me feel a very special kind of bliss. My old belongings, I destroyed them all too — especially the diary of Mizuno Ami. The next step of my "worldwork" was to show to the human world that something terrific was coming and would be here to stay. Mars and I started to destroy statues, monuments, museums, temples, whatever, and anyone who dared to get in our way. "Inutilia delenda!", as Saturn said in a moment of consciously uninspired humour. In less than twelve hours, I and Mars did a quite good job, though not a complete one. It was Mars who destroyed "Miss Liberty" and the "Cristo Redentor", and it was I who destroyed the Eiffel Tower and the main Egyptian Pyramid (Khufu); my cunt!, I didn't think that the pleasure to destroy could be *so*... immense... I wish that I had been allowed to choose, for I wanted to destroy the Atomium, but it was Saturn who did decide what was to be destroyed by Mars and what was to be destroyed by Mercury. After all, she really did know what she was doing. While the "inutilia" of this world were being eliminated by me and Mars, the Pope made a very serious decision: he was finally going to reveal to the rest of the world a secret that should have been revealed many many years ago. But it was already too late for him and for all that he represented. The moment he was going to do it, Saturn called us; we immediately teleported to Rome, and witnessed a small demonstration of her unlimited power. Her eyes were glowing scaringly, emitting a bright-yellow light, even brighter than the yellow light of our Steam Shells; however she was not "wearing" her own Steam Shell, as though she didn't need it anymore. And she actually didn't. Firstly she looked deep into my eyes for one eternal second, then she did the same to Mars, and then she spoke: "Now I am going to show everyone what power is for. Please, pay attention.". "Please", she said. As if we really could choose not to do it! Yes!, we did want to see "what power is for"!

Billions of people were listening very carefully to what the Pope was saying. He was wasting the little remainder of his lifetime by giving them a useless explanation, by listing all the reasons why the Catholic Church had postponed "ad aeternum" the disclosure of that terrible "secret". But all of a sudden, he stopped speaking — and moving. It looked like time had been frozen upon his body only (later Saturn explained to me that she had selectively bound his body to an infinitely slow flow of time — quite different from the "Time Stop" move of Sailorpluto, but not less impressive, I must say). Some seconds later, Saturn materialized beside him, and speaking in English she introduced herself to the billions who were watching TV, listening to the radio, or downloading streamed audio and video on the Internet.

"Humans!, listen to me now! This is the day your history *ends*. I *am* the ultimate Avatar of Shiva, and from this moment on this planet does belong to *me*. I *am* its Empress, and there is absolutely nothing you can do to escape from this destiny. Right now I have just started to control the minds of the ones among you that I *chose* for being my servants. All the Military, all the technicians, all the scientists, the strongest and the cleverest among you, they *are* obeying *me*, and no one else. In my name, they will control your jobs, and your lives. Your existences will go just a little worse, for the time being. But the ones your lives depended upon are about to be eliminated by my new servants. Your presidents, your mayors, your ministers, your ambassadors, your kings, your princes, your chiefs, your employers, your cops, your priests, all your former *oppressors* are about to be exterminated by my new servants. The times have just changed, and from this day on there is only one oppressor for this entire planet, and her name is my name, Extreme Sailorsaturn! The décadence of the last two thousand years of your history is over now. The Roman Empire finally dies today. The décadence of the last ten thousand years of your history is over, too. The foul cowards who destroyed Atlantis will be captured and punished by myself, and by my armies, and by my space fleets, and by my associates. The glory of Atlantis is about to be reborn, ten thousand times as bright as it was before. And *all* of you are going to pay very hard for having always believed in the g*ds and never in your true selves. Your non-existent g*ds have never helped you, and they never will. Here comes the demonstration!" Then Saturn turned her head and looked at the Pope, and pointed the palm of her left hand at his head. The light emitted by her eyes suddenly changed from yellow to blue, and a lightning bolt flowed from her hand towards the head of the Pope. A violent and silent explosion disintegrated his head, and his body fell lifeless onto the ground. The light from her eyes became yellow again, and she dematerialized her body. "Mercury! Mars! Our tasks are over for today! Show them all what must be done to the dead bodies, and then go back to our Ice Palace!" — she ordered. "As you command!", we both answered. Mars and I materialized close to the dead body of the Pope. We picked it up, and threw it at the astounded crowd below us. "Now?", I asked Mars. "Now!", she confirmed. Her "Fire Soul" and my "Liquid Fire" together incinerated the last incarnation of the décadence of the Roman Empire. The reign of Saturn had just begun.

Less than three double-hours were all the time her living "robots" needed to kill away the political structure of this world. She did tell the humans no lies. The people she chose for being her new "servants" were telepathically and irresistibly mesmerized by her power — her seemingly infinite and always surprising power —, and were programmed to achieve *her* goals. All over the world, they took control of the industries, of the companies, and of the farms. Schools are dead. There is no more television, and there are no more radio stations. No more newspapers. No more money. No more commerce. No more songs. No more movies. No more theaters. The useless books are being destroyed. Every info Saturn feels that is relevant is being duly stored and preserved; what is not relevant, is discarded forever. So this is the real "Age of Silence". The time for wisdom. And the time for planning the next wars, too. Saturn does not only supervise the work of her slaves, she also looks for all the girls who sincerely would like to join her. They are being transformed into new Sailorsenshi. Most of this job has been done by Mars. Sooner or later, at least some of them will be turned into Extreme Senshi too. By the way, sooner or later all human males will disappear. The human females will be only very useful incubators; her wombs will feed the embryos of the new Sailorsenshi, as well as the embryos of new living incubators. Reproduction will be their only task, and sexual pleasure will be our privilege. No more families, no more parents, no more kinship, no more "education", no more countries, no more religions, no more... troubles. Under the reign of Saturn, everything is going to be pretty less difficult. Machines will do work for us, but Saturn will keep punishing some creatures with the need for overworking, just for her own fun. Why not?

My cunt!, the full power of Sailormoon would have been more than enough to revolutionize the world! However she did choose the wrong path, she chose to fight the need for evolution. She didn't want to realize the terrible mistake that Queen Serenity made. The Moon Kingdom had to die. Everyone and everything has to face their own death. Queen Serenity didn't want to do it. The ones who destroyed Atlantis either. Nowadays the one who once was her daughter is paying for that mistake. The Moon Kingdom would never be reborn, after all. All the ones who dare to attempt stopping evolution must be punished. Sailormoon was punished by Sailorsaturn. The first part of that punishment was the awakening of the true self of Hino Rei. Usagi did not hide from my eyes the deep sadness that the last letter from Setsuna brought to her heart. She didn't stand that Rei, her best friend, had "betrayed" her and become an "evil" warrior. Now I clearly realize that she would never dare to fight Mars and Saturn: she was totally unable to feel anger, all that she could feel then was her self-pity. She could not give orders to the other Senshi. She had lost her authority. Then came to her the second part of the punishment — her authority was the only thing that could ever avoid that I defected and joined Saturn, and it didn't exist anymore. On the exact moment I declared my intention of being with Saturn, she was already defeated. Her self-confidence had been just knocked-out. From then on, she and the other Senshi actually could do nothing except awaiting the time for being killed by Mars and Saturn. Because of the way they were feeling, they could be easily attacked by surprise, and then they just did not know what to do next. They got what they actually deserved, indeed. At least Sailorpluto died with some honour: she always knew that she was wrong, and at last she consciously accepted to pay the price for having chosen the wrong path. To get in the way of evolution: this crime against the Universe never pays, and Extreme Sailorsaturn has come around right in order to demonstrate it.

And I wish so much that I was already co-operating with her present works! However she gave me no permission to do so... She just told me that "I am not ready yet". Why Mars may keep helping her but I am not allowed to even start giving her my co-operation? "Try to guess", she told me. "I will realize the moment you're ready to start giving your contribution to my work. While it does not come to you, just relax. Sometimes it's not only desirable to go through a 'dolce far niente', sometimes it may be quite necessary. Trust me!" Well, I have tried not to understand what she meant, but I have failed. I decided to write a diary again only because lately I have not found more interesting things to do; after three weeks of "dolce far niente", I do feel very very... bored. Probably I am "getting ready" at last. Sooner than my fear expected.

Aquarius Date 00003.9

Yesterday I gave in to Saturn. She bewitched me. What now? What do I feel for her? Love? Passion? Infatuation? I tried her only once... and I feel I will beg for more — in spite of the fact that I still am afraid of her... power. At the seventh double-hour we entered her bed-room. She pointed at her bed and told me: "Mercury, lie down over there. And do *not* take off your clothes — please.". "Extraordinary", I thought. Well, I obeyed. Strange: I could not feel I was actually scared. But I was. Somehow, I had found a way to make my conscious mind ignore my fear. Notwithstanding, my heart was beating four times each second, so there was no doubt that I *was* very afraid of what Saturn was going to do to me.

"Now close your eyes, and *wait*.", she said. I closed my eyes, and *waited*. She sat down on her bed, and I did feel as if my entire body was being scanned by her violet eyes. Yes, I felt as if I was being treated as a mere object, as a "thing" — and I liked it!

Finally she started to touch me. Very slowly and very lightly her fingertips slid along my left forearm. "Impossible!", I thought. I was feeling sexual pleasure in my forearm! It was as though it had suddenly become another clitoris... or rather, as if the erogenous sensitivity of my clitoris had been transferred to my forearm... I opened my eyes, but before I could speak a word, Saturn asked me:

"Do you enjoy it?"

"Of course I do! But"

"It is not so magical as it might seem.", she answered. "It is just a matter of..." — she closed her eyes, and smiled. — "Blood. Oxygen. *Vitality*. The sex organs and the breasts do exactly the same, but by the easiest way. Do you know what I mean?"

"I think so..." — I thought about the three words she mentioned: blood, oxygen, vitality,... and all of a sudden I exclaimed: "...Liver?!"

"Would you like to try it right now?"

"I... Yes!"

"But you still are *so* afraid!"

"Saturn!, fuck my fear!"

"Good! I am starting to like you more!"

This time she laid the palm of her left hand upon the right side of my abdomen. And the magic of her touch became more evident. Her energy was so strong that penetrated directly in my etheric body and made it vibrate by itself; no electric motor would ever be a match for her magic hands! The same thing that had just happened to my left forearm was happening to my liver too. But this time the pleasure was much more intense... for the first time I could *really* understand the "Liebestod"... for the first time I could start having a correct idea of what Richard Wagner was "talking about" when he composed the "Liebestod"...

"My cunt!, it feels *so* good!"

" 'Cunt', you said, huh? Not so soon, my love..."

Saturn touched my nipples with her middle fingers. I didn't know that my breasts could get *so* full of blood... I didn't know that they could really go so *hard*... It felt so... *intoxicating*... and it was almost painful, too. As for my vagina... its walls quickly became erect and soon drenched the cotton gusset of my panties. The clitoral bulbs that surround its introit started to throb, following my heartbeats — gladly I noticed that I was not so afraid as I was in the beginning... My long clitoris was already fully erect, and every contraction of the muscles of my vulva made its glans press tenderly against the fabric of my panties... And then I realized that I had spread my thighs.

Saturn realized it too, for only then she said:

"Would you mind taking off your panties now? *Only* the panties!, please!"

Once again, I obeyed her.

"Could you giv'em to me? Please?"

"Hmmm... why not?"

"Thank you, Mercury!"

"Not at all..."

Another surprise: she was *not* wearing panties! And she did put on the ones that I had just given to her! "Saturn!", I did exclaim.

"Shut up! And keep your legs open! I want to look into your cunt — one more time!"

Always very gently, her fingers unveiled my vulva for her eyes. She inserted my genitocrural folds into my inguinal grooves, thus exposing my labia majora completely.

"I adore your pretty big clit! Did you know that you have a true prostatic gland too?"

"Are you serious???!"

"Yes. But now I want to see your vagina...". — She spread my labia minora, then spread my circumvaginal lips, and finally saw my hymenless vaginal orifice.

"Luckily your hymen disappeared before you were born. And your clitoris is so long and thick... your cunt is indeed very special, Mercury! How much I wish that mine was just like yours..."

"And I wish that you made me cum as soon as possible..."

"Good!"

Saturn put her right forefinger on the glans of my clitoris and her right middle finger on its shaft. Immediately her vibrating magic started to do its best. The pleasure that my clitoris was given was simply... extreme. I didn't think that a vaginal ache could ever be *so* intense; I didn't think that an orgasm could ever be *so* intoxicating; and I didn't think that I would ever be able to ejaculate.

"Mercury!, you *are* ejaculating! It is so... beautiful!..."

But for certain she knew that I was "too busy" and was not going to answer to her last comment. My eyes were closed again, for I was still enjoying the sweet rapture of my first extreme orgasm... when suddenly I felt her lips pressing against my lips, her thirsty tongue invading my mouth... that strange metallic taste rising inside of my throat again, those bioenergetic pulses rushing from the soles of my feet and from my calves towards the hole between my thighs, and from my stomach and my breasts towards my tongue and my teeth... and then I realized that something didn't seem to feel quite right... I opened up my eyes, and could not help screaming — for I was in her body, kissing my body in the mouth! Immediately the spell was broken, and I sent myself back to my material body.

"You sweet cowardly fool... I only hope you don't need three more weeks to start getting used to my honest kind of love..."

"And I won't! Please forgive me! Don't let my senselessness get in your way! Let me try again!"

"I would... but your fear is so strong that your spirit will keep refusing to lodge at my body."

"You liar! You *can* force my spirit to remain inside of your body in spite of my unconscious resistance!"

"Very good! — But... are you absolutely sure that you want it?"

That stupid game of hers had just gone too far. I slapped her on the face. And I thought: "Fuck! I'm dead!"

But she didn't punish me. I had done exactly what she had been expecting me to do. Once again she gave me her magic kiss... and much more. Especially one very important lesson. Before she sent me back to my material body, I asked her: "Saturn... ¿Why?"

And she answered simply:

"Because I love me."

Three days ago I effectively started to work for Saturn. She did let me choose my present task. I have been so busy! Between my job and her love... there ain't things more important to be done. Then... why should I keep writing this log? Because I want it — for now.

In 00004.0 she showed me a list. And many reports. It was not difficult to make the right choice. I told her:

"I want to supervise the construction of our spaceships!"

"Really???"

"Yes."

"As you wish. — You have 321 days to give me 100,000 battle ships at least."

"I will give you at least 200,000 battle ships within 150 days."

"Mercury!"

"Saturn! This planet has *billions* of humans. And I will do make them all work for you."

"Excellent!"

"And I say: thank you. Because you are the finest teacher."

Then she smiled once again.

Mars was in the Sahara, continueing the initial test of resistance for a new group of applicants. She and two of her assistants had just teleported them all from the Antarctic; the ones who could stand ten hours of extreme heat after ten hours of extreme cold would be the next group of new Sailorsenshi. But on the exact moment she was going to teleport herself back to Saturn's Ice Palace, a sudden terrible pain in the lower abdomen made her fall onto the sand.

► Number One! What's up?!

► Don't... worry... Number 6... it's not a thing that I cannot handle...

But Mars was wrong: her teleport power simply was not working. And her scalar radio link either.

► Fuck! SHIT!

► Number One, I will take you back to

► No! You and Number 10 *have* to stay here, to take care of them... *Ouch*! Call Number Two, she will...

Less than thirty seconds later, Mercury appeared.

► Number One! What

► Shut up, and just... take... me... the hell... out... of... here...

Mercury promptly obeyed. She teleported Mars and herself to Medical Lab 3.

► Mercury...

► Wait a minute! I am stopping your pain... *now*!

► OOOUUUCH!

► As I promised...

► Yes! That pain... is gone now! Thank you!... But... what...

► Mars... our medical instruments inform that you are... pregnant.

► WHAT?????

► It's an ectopical pregnancy. The embryo is about to tear your left oviduct and to produce an internal haemorrhage.

► Fuck! That's simply impossible! Saturn said

► the truth — Saturn interrupted the conversation as she walked in the lab.

► ► Saturn!

► Mars, your bionic womb *was* working perfectly. It would never let you be impregnated by your father — unless you wanted otherwise.

► ???

► Mercury! You didn't understand either?

► Saturn! I have *never* dreamed of being a mother — I'm positive! ["Am I?" — Mars asked herself.]

► *Consciously*, yes. But now I can see how much you were *proud* of your successful incest... so very proud of it, that you wanted to have a visible testimony of your exploit — even a living testimony.

► Wow! — Mercury exclaimed.

► Really — continued Saturn. — *Her wish* made her bionic womb start malfunctioning on the night she possessed her father. And today its main scalar connections to her etheric body are all broken. That's the reason why she could not teleport or use her scalar radio link.

► Saturn...

► Yes Mars?

► I... I see. You *are* right.

► Yes, my love. — Now Mercury and I are going to extract that embryo from your body and...

► Is it a female, or a male?

► Genetically, it is an XX — Mercury answered. — But if by chance it was an XY, we would make it be an effective female anyway. She will survive — unless you do not want it, of course.

► I want it, yes I want it! And... Saturn... I want a... favor...

► I'm listening... — Saturn said, while she caressed Mars' left eyebrow with her fingertips.

► I want... Usagi... to be the mother of my child.

► Mars!...

► Mercury, if you were

► *Enough* — Saturn ordered. — Mercury, I have already made my decision. Mars, Usagi will be the mother to your child.

► Thank you so much, Saturn!

► You'll do it later, my love. Mercury, help me prepare her for the surgery.

► As you command!

I am still astonished: today I came to know that I was pregnant. Yes, I was impregnated by the semen of my dad. Mercury and Saturn extracted the embryo from my left oviduct and implanted it into Usagi's body. Now I have a brand-new bionic womb, my second one. And she, my Usagi, is expecting my baby... am I happy for this? No doubt about it. However,... should I? I still don't know... How would I ever forget? While my dad was fucking me, I almost regretted that forever I would be unable to have a baby, *his* baby... I kept telling myself that things could not be different than they were being, that I could not be a "normal" human female anymore... and it did not make me feel less bad... When he cummed inside of me, I almost started to cry... Until yesterday, I thought that it was only because I wanted him so bad... but today Saturn opened up my eyes, and made me see that my pride was, and is, greater than my love for him... Really, possessing my dad made me do feel like a goddess... I did experience something so pretious... I was able to give that privilege to me, and then I was so proud of myself... I would never imagine that my pride could ever be so powerful that it would be able to make that wish of mine come true! My pride made my first bionic womb start to malfunction so that I could be impregnated by my dad; and thus it proved to be even stronger than the apparent source of my almost unlimited Senshi power... Dad! Why didn't you dare to show your desire for me? Why did you make me hate you as much as I wanted you? Why did you have to be addicted to your stupid politics? Why? Why? Why? Your wife was so beautiful, and so good for you... Why did you ignore her? Why did you ignore *me*? After her death, I had for a while the illusion that you were finally going to show your love for me, because *she* was not in "our" way anymore... What a fool I was then! As a sort of revenge, I said to you and to Ojii-san that *you*, with your indifference, *had killed her*; and with the excuse of that truth, I left your house for living with Ojii-san... because actually I could not stand your daily effective indifference for *me* any longer! My dad... if you had loved me as you *should*... if you had dared to share yourself between mother and I... perhaps she hadn't died so soon... perhaps I had never met Usagi... probably I would have never been recalled that I was the princess of Mars... probably I would not have come to feel any need for revolutionizing this world... and for sure the two of us would be living so happy, together! Dad! You coward! You did everything to make me think that Kaidou-san had a real interest in me... one day you really made me believe that he was not just following your orders! Because you were too afraid to admit that *you* wanted me. Dad!

\\ [End of Entry]

► Saturn!... *Why*?

► Mercury! Do you really believe that Mars' daughter will be *raised* by Usagi?

► Oh!... Sorry!, I...

► Don't be. I do love Mars, but I would never let my love for her — or for you — make me go that dumb.

► I... I'm glad to hear that, and

► WHAT?

► Forgive me!, I...

► Mercury! You simply *don't* like to be my Number *Two*...

► I DO NOT! — actually! And...

► *And*...

Mercury understood that she had no other choice than shrugging. Mars was meant to be the favorite mate of Saturn for always, and there was nothing that Mercury could do to change that reality. Worse: she already knew that, one fine day, she even would not mind being at the bottom of Saturn's list, because... — Oh well!, ¿would she ever be "ready" for accepting the inevitable?

► Does it matter?

All of a sudden Saturn pushed Mercury and pressed the back of her mate against the wall of the corridor. Mercury was astonished. Saturn kissed the mouth of her "Number Two". And replied:

► It doesn't. Really.

As I promised: today, I gave 214,957 flying triangles to her, my Empress. Once again, she gave me her sweetest smile. I adore her smile, and Mars too. My Empress!, I didn't think that love and fear could be the the same one thing... Tomorrow she will give me a "special reward", she promised... What could it possibly be? Her surprises, and her secrets too, are innumerable.

Anyway, I may work less hard, for now. My next goal is to give her 100,000 more flying triangles until 00034.0. Though she believes that 90,000 battle ships will be sufficient for our first war, I do know we will face many other wars, so...

As she told us, we will have three fleets: one for me, one for Mars, and one for herself. My ships will be the blue ones; the ships of Mars will be red, and the ships of Saturn, yellow. Besides, we count on the additional fleets of her "associates". Saturn is the only one who has ever seen and been in touch with them. She is the only one who is able to handle the magic locks that have kept the Earth Realm and the time-shifted prison they were sent to separated. She gained that privilege when she made Mars generate a Selective Steam Shell right on the magnetic pole of the Antarctic. From that moment on, she got the absolute control of *all* the portals within our planetary system. Now, our first enemies *are* standing by, ready to attack us immediately after the eventual reopening of those portals; however, we do have prepared a very unpleasant surprise for them... The ones who destroyed Atlantis, and the ones who helped those foul cowards, are going to pay for their crime against evolution... Saturn will eliminate the ones who had been directly preventing the humans from becoming more than stupid poorly-disguised animals; on the other hand, I myself, Mars, and Saturn's "associates" will destroy their alien supporters. On the first day of our first war, Saturn will reopen the North Pole portals and will definitively take control of the "Inner Earth" and of the subtle bodies of this planet; Mars will reopen the central portal of the asteroid belt, between the orbits of Jupiter and Mars; I will reopen the external portals of our planetary system, beyond the orbit of Pluto; and Saturn's associates will reopen the main portal of the Moon. Our first mission: to show the Universe the rise of the "Absolute Terror".

It will have to be much more complex than her immediate needs actually would require. We do not need the help from her associates to succeed, however she wants their co-operation, and who am I to disagree? So, Mars and I helped her to prepare carefully their return to the Earth Realm. The minimum energy required for destroying those magic locks could be easily extracted from our Sun, however we would be risking to mess up its stability if we did so. Besides, our planet and our space fleets will have to be protected from the effects of the inevitable radiation storms; the integrity of Earth's atmosphere, hydrosphere and lithosphere must be preserved at all costs. So, we still are building a huge scalar device that will extract energy from the stellar core of our galaxy and will create a scalar shield which will protect us all from the side-effects of such an instantaneous massive liberation of energy. I guess the beginning of our first space war will be the most beautiful "firework show" ever...

My Saturn... she is great, great, great! She gave me my *beauty*! Her finest technosorcery enlarged my breasts, lengthened my hair, and gave me a truly beautiful face! Thank you so much — my Empress! I love you even more!

The smell of Mars' teleport was pleasingly unmistakable. But on that day, Mercury had a special reason to dislike it.

► "Mars' Surprise"!

► You boring bitch! Leave me alone! I do know what you're here for!

► You don't say...

► You have no actual interest in *me*! All you want now is to *use* my new-born beauty! If Saturn hadn't made me be beautiful, you wouldn't be hurrying up for possessing me!

► Indeed! And so what?

► You should have embalmed Minako, so you could be practicing your necrophilia.

► I admit that such a nice idea did visit my thoughts — but it happened too late, when I had already reduced her body into ashes.

► You are impossible!

► Thank you!

► FUCK!

Fiercely Mercury struck Mars on the face; Mars couldn't help falling backwards. One second later, Mercury was mounting Mars — she sat on Mars' crotch, with her thighs open, and gripped Mars' neck with her right hand, her left hand and her knees sinking into the thick snow.

► Mercury... you *know* that I am *not* Saturn... then why my cunt are you so *afraid* of fucking with me?

► Damn it! I don't know... I really don't know... and I wish that I didn't want to know!

► Well, I see you're not gonna fuck with me today alright, so how about getting your crotch off mine *and* your hand off my neck?

►

► Mercury!, WAKE UP!

► O-kay...

►

►

► Might we try to talk now?

► O-kay... let's try it. — Mercury agreed. Mars stood up. Mercury resumed her stroll, and the other Sailorsenshi followed her.

► Mercury... you know that we, that you, can't keep postponing our mating forever. We must do our psychic synchronization, for the sake of Saturn's absolute victory at her first interstellar war.

► That's what Saturn *told* us. It does pretty seem to make sense, but... do you believe everything she says? For sure she did help us to awake our inner truths, I can't have any doubt about this, however,... she always hides so many things from us, and... she tests our reactions and reflexes all the time... I can't help feeling she still tell us some lies, though I cannot specify exactly when she does it... You know what, there are no guarantees that right now she is not watching the two of us somehow, possibly laughing at me and you... She seems to know everything about you and about me, and yet we know so very little about her!

► You know what? You're absolutely right.

► Thank you.

►

►

► Mercury... who is the mysterious "Number Three"? Who the fuck will be "Number Three"?

► I have no idea. As you yourself said,... just another of her "mysteries".

► Maybe one of her "associates"?

► It's possible.

►

►

► *She* is "Number Zero", *you* are "Number Two", *I* am "Number One",... Giselle is "Number 6", Kasumi is "Number 10", Asuka is "Number 5", Martina is "Number 17", Rebecca is "Number 32", Svetlana is "Number 51",... but "Number Three" is missing. — *Missing*.

► "She is the one who is meant to bring us the Good-News. Her presence among us will confirm our path is the right one." — Mercury quoted Saturn's words.

► Knickers! It pretty sounded like she was referring to *herself*. Probably she herself is "Number Three"; probably, she was just kidding, and one day she will laugh in our faces, because we took that joke seriously.

► Probably.

Aquarius Date 00023.2 — TOKYO.TMP

Usagi had been thinking it over all day long. And for half that night at least. That was a very serious decision. On that night she could not fall asleep. She should not fall asleep. She needed to find the courage to tell it to Mars — and to Saturn. Especially to Saturn. So, at the beginning of the ninth double-hour she kissed Mars good-day.

► Usagi... — spoke Mars, without having opened her eyes yet. — What time is it?

► It's time for talking 'bout *me*. I have made a decision... a very important one. Come on!, wake up 'n' listen to me now, please!

Mars obeyed. She opened her eyes, and noticed there was something different with Usagi. The face of her mate was brighter than ever... as though it was — "*Moonlit*. My!", Mars told herself. But before she could pronounce a word about it, Usagi spoke:

► Are you... ready to listen?

► Yes... — whispered Mars. She started to play with Usagi's ponytails.

► Well... Mars, all these days we've been living together... I have learned to realize so many things about myself... You taught me how to transform our friendship into our love... I have learned to give and to dedicate myself to you... In the beginning, I thought that it happened only because I was scared to the bones, helplessly afraid of the possibility of being killed by *you*... but, little by little, I've come to realize that I only have been giving you in return the true love you always dedicated to me since the day I found Hino Rei...

► My Usagi... you said you were going to tell me your decision, and what are you talking about? — asked Mars, attempting to look indifferent.

► Mars! Now I can duly acknowledge that you were always around right in order to guide me, rather than to merely protect me — I mean, much more than Tuxedo Kamen, *you* were a prince to me, my *true* prince indeed...

Mars blushed, and a teardrop finally rolled down from her left eye. But she was actually feeling "happier than ever" once again...

► ... and I didn't want to see it! You lived for me, and you died for me, not because of our "mission" and of our "duties", but only because of the love you still feel for your Usagi... In this incarnation of mine, much more than Tuxedo Kamen, you always deserved to receive my loving... his power and his courage would never compare with *your* power and *your* courage... however I only gave you a poor friendship in return... Oh Mars!, please forgive me! Will you?

Usagi picked the teardrop off the face of Mars with her forefinger, and took it to the tip of her tongue.

► Usagi... Are you... finally... changing your heart?

► Yes my love, I have changed my heart! And now that I have finally learned how to love you, I realize that I admire you so much that... I really want to be like you — *again*.

Mars could not hide her joy anymore.

► Usagi! Do you want to be Sailormoon again? For real?

► Yes! I want to be a Senshi again! I want to be fighting in the name of Saturn, because... Oh well, one of these days, the day you took me to the Ice Palace, and Saturn checked up me and our baby once again, do you remember? Then, many hours later, long after you left for your job, I went to visit Mercury at her rooms, and

► But Mercury doesn't want to talk with you, you know it!...

► Yes, I know it, and I myself didn't understand why on that day I suddenly felt the absurd hope that I could make her change her mind... however, there I was, I rang the bell so many times, and I was about to leave, when all of a sudden the automatic door opened... I called her name, but she was not in there, so I decided to take a look at her things, and, it was not a coincidence, I believe, I found her new diary, and

► Did you read her... diary?

► Only the first entry — and it was enough. Then I started to understand, how wrong our lives in the Moon Kingdom had been...

► ?

► ... I started to understand that Queen Serenity committed a terrible mistake; I started to understand why Sailormoon *had* to be defeated by Sailorsaturn...

► !

► ... From then on, I started to believe that there must be a very strong reason why I am still alive, and... today, I firmly convinced myself that it is because I *will* do it all over again! Yes my love!, I want to have a better way to pay for the mistakes that I made in my past... Yes, I really want to fight for Sailorsaturn from now on, that's why I want to be Sailormoon again! I do want to follow her, because today I am able to accept that she is much wiser than I will ever be...

► Usagi! Your decision is... making me feel so very happy that... I...

► You don't know what to say?

► Exactly...

► Mars!, will you let me ask her for a new chance?

► But of course!

► Thank you so much, my love!

► Usagi!...

► Don't speak now, please!...

Aquarius Date 00023.2 — ANTARCTIC

► Saturn... I am bringing a present for you. A very special one.

► Really?! — Saturn's face was lit by a smile.

"Saturn! Your smile, my love,... is a very special present too", thought Mars.

► Really. — Usagi!, come on in!

► Usagi?

Usagi walked in Saturn's rooms. Once again, she attempted to look into Saturn's eyes, but, for a change, she wasn't able to face them yet. Notwithstanding, she spoke:

► My Empress, I... I am asking for your pardon. I am asking for the honor of fighting in the name of you. I am begging your mercy, please give me the honor of being a Sailorsenshi. I want to start a brand-new life; I want to live for your wisdom, I want to fight in the name of your wisdom, and I am ready to die for your wisdom. Please, restore my powers; please, let me be Sailormoon again!

Fifteen seconds of silence. The only thing that Mars could do was stare at Saturn, anxiously waiting for her "yes" — or for her "no". Because the beautiful smile of Saturn had disappeared even faster than it had come. Usagi was looking at the floor, feeling smaller than ever, thinking: "Fuck!... Shit!... My legs are shivering!". Then, Saturn walked to Usagi and embraced her newest ally. She closed her eyes, and gently said:

► Pleased to see you again — Sailormoon.

I'm so very happy! In the name of Saturn, Usagi will be Sailormoon again! And our baby was born! AHAMESU WAS BORN! She will stay at the scalar incubator number zero for two weeks or so, and in the end she will be okay...

Usagi called me "prince"... Usagi did tell me I am *her* prince... I'll never forget that pretious moment.

► There will be a slight change in our battle plan. Mercury, you will prepare 30,000 ships for Sailormoon. They will be her Silver Fleet. The ships of our associates will help the four of us. Now that Mars' baby was born, I will teach Sailormoon to use her Extreme powers. Any questions?

► ► ►

► Good. Usagi, come with me. Mars, assume command.

► As you wish.

Aquarius Date 00023.4 — ZANDVOORT.TMP

► Good-day, Mercury! May I

► Usagi! What the heck

Sailormoon slapped Mercury with all her might.

► My name is *Sailormoon*! Call me "Number Three" if you wish, but Tsukino Usagi is dead, my dear Mizuno Ami!

► You cheap whore! Do you want a fight?

► NO! I just want to live our friendship, once more.

► CUNT! So you dare think that *I* will ever believe that you *actually* want to fight for the Power in the name of Saturn?

► What *we* "actually" want or think we believe in has no importance at all to our Empress, as long as we keep doing whatever she wants us to do. *YOU KNOW IT*!, DON'T YOU? I did use to believe in "justice", yet one pretty night Sailorsaturn changed my life forever. There is no turning back now, and I chose to go forwards because simply I am tired of doing just nothing, why not? Now there is only one thing that I believe in for sure: my love for Mars, her love for me. Just in order to please her, I will do my best — I will do anything!

► ...

► FUCK! WHY THE FUCK AM I TELLING YOU THESE THINGS? DAMN IT!
I REALLY DON'T NEED THE FRIENDSHIP OF A FROZEN-HEARTED PERSON LIKE *YOU*! — Sailormoon turned away and was about to leave, but was surprised by the next words that Mercury shouted at her:

► BUT YOU STILL *WANT* IT! — DON'T YOU?

► !

► *DON'T YOU*?

►

►

►

►

► FUCK! I *DO*! THAT'S WHAT I AM HERE FOR, AFTER ALL! — Sailormoon screamed in return as her face overblushed and her watery eyes kept staring at the sea.

►

►

► Knickers! Even I can see that you are *much* more interesting than you were before... — ¿Why not?

► Seriously?! — So... are we friends, again?

► Yes! We can be friends, again.

► !!!

► For now.

► ???

► !!

► I see. *Because of Saturn*... our "love" will be... it will be inevitable. — Oh well!, just one more little thing I will have to get used to...

► Good.

"My patience is over!", Saturn spoke to herself. She called Mercury and Mars on the scalar radio.

► Number Zero to Number Two and Number One: lock on my signal and teleport. — NOW!

► ► Yes, Empress.

Twenty-seven seconds later Mercury materialized in Saturn's room. Forty-five seconds later, Mars did the same.

► Number Two, Number One: after tomorrow, it will be Number Three and Number Two; tomorrow, it will be Number Three and Number Zero; today, it's going to be the two of you. *Make it happen, right now*.

► ► HERE AND NOW? — Mars and Mercury asked her at the same time.

► Indeed. *And I will watch your every move, your entire... "performance"*.

► No – pro-blem — Mercury answered, mechanically, shrugging.

► Saturn, *no*!... PLEASE!,...

► Mars! I'm giving you an *order*!

►

►

► FUCK!

► HA HA HA HA HA! — Exactly what I want you to do. Right now.

► I'm getting ready for you, Number One — Mercury said, after having thrown her panties at Number One's head.

► Fuckingly beautiful! — exclaimed Mars.

"So *these* are her 'associates'...", thought Mercury.

Aquarius Date 00042.9

Back to Earth — finally! During the last three weeks, we conquered the homeworlds of the alien enemies of Saturn's associates; she herself finally took control of the subtle bodies of this planet — and now she definitely is its Mistress. After destroying the fleets of our enemies, it was even easier to take control of their worlds, their colonies, their kingdoms and empires! Our associates are managing and protecting Saturn's newest domains, and now she and we — Mars, Moon and I — can dedicate our next efforts to redraw the maps of this planet.

Most places in our world will be renamed and rebuilt; some places will have to disappear, for the sake of the resurrection of the Atlantic Continent. Both the East Coast and the West Coast of U_S_A.TMP, as well as the entire Japan.TMP, for instance, will have to sink into the ocean — very unfortunately indeed! However, to restore the homeland of our associates is the inevitable price that Saturn will have to pay for their pretious help.

But we brought more good news to our Empress! We met other powerful Sailorsenshi who are seriously interested in joining us; they really want to have the honour of belonging to her armies! Right now they are talking to Sailorsaturn, and their names are: Iron Mouse, Tin Nyanko, Lead Crow(cute!), Aluminum Siren(beautiful!), and Galaxia(wow!), who is their leader. The more of allies my Saturn can get, the better!

The day is 00026.0, and the double-hour is the seventh one; this is the turn of my Saturn to take care of Ahamesu. My Hotaru is suckling my child, I *feel* it is happening now! My Empress, you are so good to Ahamesu... it was your wisdom that wished to give her the most beautiful, the brightest white hair ever, and one million of my kisses will never be enough to demonstrate you my thankfulness... My "daughter"!, I will never allow Usagi or myself to call you "daughter"... the old me is not entirely dead yet, and sometimes it still makes me resist my new reality... but there is no turning back now, and one day I will eventually manage to be fully used to living in the real world of my Mistress. Though you were born of both my seed and the womb of my Usagi, not from an eversleeping human incubator, you are also the first child of the Extreme Generation, and thus you effectively are "daughter" to no one, because you are being raised by *every* Senshi. You are so lucky, and I'm so very glad to witness your happy fate happen! You will never have to depend on so few persons only; you will never have to have only one mother who could die so soon and leave you so loveless; you will never have to have only one father who could pretend you do not exist because of the fear of his own inner truth; you will never have to pretend that you care for someone because of the fear of feeling guilty; you will never have to call someone mother, father, brother, sister, son, daughter, "sweetheart", whatever!, because you already have what you actually need — LOTS of people who will always truly care for you, who will never be able to enjoy fooling you, who will never regard you as an idiot while you are small, who will never try to stop you from being yourself, who will always help you to get your best. Under the reign of Saturn, inside my world, you will never ever be alone, my Ahamesu — I promise.

Aquarius Date 00024.0 — ANTARCTIC

Last night... I destroyed all my old belongings. It had to be so, now that I do not need any sort of magical objects to be myself or to attack my future enemies. My old clothes, the notebooks that made up my old diary, my useless schoolbooks, my CDs, my dolls, all of my manga, as well as the ginzuishou and the holy grail, had been carefully preserved by Saturn, and yesterday she had me get finally rid of them. But... oh well!, on this morning I had to do something that was much more difficult than destroying mere things — I had to kill some «people I had been programmed to be addicted to», as Mercury attempted to teach me; I had to kill my so-called family... because Saturn ordered me so. And I did do it, because now I am completely devoted to Mars... Hotaru would not make things be easy for me — as if I didn't already know it! So, somehow, she actually *knew* that one day I would belong to her armies... or she was just *hoping* that I would do it? Well, I really don't know... how could a fool like myself ever be *really* sure of anything?

Saturn had transferred my mother, my father and my brother to a "long unused" torture chamber of her Ice Palace. My parents would never imagine their fate could not be other than being murdered by their daughter; Shingo's worst nightmare would never include being killed by his sister... So there I was — "secretly" watched by Sailorsaturn, I entered the chamber; I might not be wearing my new sailor fuku, because Saturn didn't want my family to have a single doubt about *who* had eliminated them... On the moment I was recognized, the three of them began to run to me, crying my name out loud: "USAGI-CHAN!". But I already knew what I had to do in order to make my first task as an Extreme Sailorsenshi successful: I kept my thoughts focused on an image of Mars, I kept seeing her most beautiful smile with my mind's eye, and this helped me stay sure of what I really wanted to make of my existence. Before they could put their hands on me, I pointed the palms of my hands at them, and their bodies were violently thrown backwards against the wall. Then I walked towards Ikuko, Kenji and Shingo, and before I performed what I had to perform, oh my goddess!, I did shout at them with all the anger I could find inside myself:

<!-- DOSEI NI KAWATTE OMAE-TACHI O KOROSU! -->

And I didn't want to await the compliments from Saturn — because I had a much more urgent thing to do next. I teleported back to the rooms of Mars in Tokyo... and cried myself out — just like I am doing it right now, again, for the fifth time on this day, eight double-hours after the beginning of the end of my humanity... Yes, I am still the same coward, still the same wimp, still the same cry-baby named Tsukino Usagi... SHAME ON ME! Please forgive me, Mars, PLEASE FORGIVE ME!

Mars was pissed off — very pissed off. She really hated to have satisfied Saturn's voyeurism in *that way*. Her Empress had never interfered in her relationship with her private princess, and Mars expected Saturn to respect her eventual mating with Mercury too. After all was done, and even before putting on her new sailor fuku, she slapped Mercury across the face, and shouted:

► You stupid child! If you had let us fuck when we were in Sarubetsu, we would not have just gone through this whole shameful situation!

Still feeling furious she walked to Saturn, who was still sitting on her purple armchair.

► And this one is for *you*! — she exclaimed, slapping her Empress on the left cheek.

► Do you feel better now? — Saturn asked, impassive.

► MUCH! — Mars answered, giving her Empress another slap, this time on the right cheek.

Mars was furious. At Mercury. At Saturn. And, especially, at herself. She had to be alone, and she had to be alone now. So, she stalked away and picked up her clothes, her red shoes, and teleported herself to Atacama. Solitude — finally. A very "dry" loneliness was exactly what she needed most at this critical moment of her existence. She still loved the deserts because they could remind her of her own lost and dead homeworld.

"Shit! I *am* falling in love with Mercury! I *don't* want this to happen! I *must not* let this happen!" At least, that was what her head was telling her. Her heart... her heart however knew the truth. She simply didn't want that the same kind of shit that had been getting in the way of the love she felt for Usagi could happen also between Mercury and Mars. The fear of loving was the only youma that she still had to overcome. It still kept interfering in her love life with Usagi, until this very day! Over and over again, she tried to show Usagi how she really felt, to give herself to her princess completely and with no restraints... Yet time and time again she just kept failing. "Oh my!, why things are *never* that difficult whenever I lay by her side?" — Mars asked herself while thinking about her magic love for Saturn. In fact, one day she actually dared to tell her: "Hotaru!... I don't know what to do! Help me — PLEASE!", but Hotaru did answer her only thus: "Rei, my love,... that is *not* of *my* concern, *and*... my power is *not* unlimited.". It was almost impossible not to be hundred per cent honest before Saturn... Mars sincerely wished that that magic could also happen when she and Usagi were all alone, however... that part of her heart still was in the dark. And no!, she absolutely would not stand that big fat trouble developing another ugly head, getting in the way of her new-born love for Mercury... To flee was all she could do with respect to that subject; to escape from Mercury's eyes was the only "solution" indeed...

► Computer! Trace the scalar signal from Number One. Lock on it, hide my signal, and teleport me to there.

► Tracing Number One's scalar signal... Done. — Target lock-on — completed. Hiding Number Two's teleport signal... Done. Teleporting Number Two — in progress. Number Two successfully teleported. Job completed.

Mars was finally getting to feel some kind of peace of mind... With her eyes closed, and concentrating her thoughts on her thymic chakra, she could do feel the magnetal energy from the midday sun pleasingly replenishing her etheric body with her basic magic Element — Fire...

► Mars!... — Mercury called, with a pleaful cry in her voice.

"NOOOOO!" — Mars shouted at herself as her treacherous heart fluttered wildly. She opened her eyes, and saw the need for her love showing up on Mercury's face.

► Mercury!... NO! — I don't want to see you today... Maybe tomorrow, maybe next week... but not today... *NOT YET*!

► NO! — Mercury exclaimed in reply. She gripped the left wrist of Mars with her right hand, and kept on telling herself: "I cannot let her keep escaping from me... now that Saturn has put this spell on the two of us, and now that there is nothing we can do to fight it... now that we're helplessly in love with one another..."

► You shit! You're hurting me!

► I'm *not*! You liar!

► What you are? An idiot? I do think so! — and Mars struck her with a punch on the left cheek. Immediately Mercury fell to her knees and started to cry, covering her eyes with the palms of her hands.

► Damn it Rei! — Mercury sobbed. — What the hell have I done... to deserve your hatred? Do you really believe... that we would not have fallen in love with each other... if I had not been postponing our mating till the day that Saturn would order us to do it? — Damn it! My fear of loving you died today, but your fear of loving me has just been born. — DAMN IT! DAMN IT! DAMN IT!

"Shit! What my cunt have I just done??? She was only asking for my loving... and I gave her only more pain, as if we all hadn't already had enough of it. — She is right — and you, Hino Rei, you're cowardly! Shame on you! Stop this madness of yours — once and for all!"

► Number Two... stop crying! — Stand up!... and *kiss me*.

►

► Are you deaf or something? THAT'S AN *ORDER*, NUMBER TWO!

Mercury obeyed her superior. Very happily. With two teardrops still rolling down on her face, she asked Mars:

► Do you *mean* it?

► Yes, I do mean it. — Will you... forgive me?

► If *you* wish...

Without hesitation Mars kissed Mercury passionately. Mercury closed her eyes and held Mars as tight as she could. How could she ever consider trying to resist the newest truth of her own heart? Doubtlessly it had been Saturn who did have made them fall in love with each other, but... did that matter?

Aquarius Date 00034.5 — TOKYO.TMP

► Sailormoon... this is where our "friendship" ends...

► As if it did matter now!

► To tell you the truth... I wish that Saturn was watching us, just like she did to me and Mars before yesterday...

► Today that is unnecessary, you know...

► Yes I know it, but...

► Mercury!,... come on!

► Okay... so be it!

Aquarius Date 00034.4 — ANTARCTIC

Sailormoon was scared. She was recalling her first "night" with Mars... just a figure of speech of course, since the night itself lasts about half a year in the Antarctic... but the fear she felt on the day that Mars won her body definitely was no match for the fear she experienced on the day that she humbled herself before Extreme Sailorsaturn... or for the fear she was experiencing on that day, the day that she had to face her Empress "as closely as possible".

► Mars!,... I'm *so* afraid!

► Usagi!... there is only one thing I can say to you now: trust her!, just like you trust me! Yesterday she helped me kill the fear of loving Mercury, the fear of loving *you*,... and the fear of loving myself. I do know that she will make you fall in love with her, but... how in the world could that be a bad thing?

► Oh Mars!,... I do have already accepted that she actually is not "evil" at all, even without understanding her very well, but...

► ... you still feel the fear of *changing*. Today a part of you is going to *die*, and...

► *Exactly*!

On the moment she pronounced that word, Sailormoon felt something different beginning to rise within her heart. The fear of changing had not disappeared yet, but the decision to ignore its existence was just being wellcomed...

► Mars! Fuck my fear! I am going to her love — ready or not!

► Usagi!

► Will you please kiss me good-luck?

.

.

.

► I have to leave now. Take good care of Ahamesu.

► You slut! YOU DO NOT HAVE TO TELL ME TO TAKE CARE OF *MY* CHILD!

► I know it! But definitely Saturn *is* right — you *do* look more beautiful when you're angry!

► Unfortunately!... — Mars sighed.

► Saturn, my Empress... I'm here, as you wished.

► Good. — Your heart is beating one hundred and ninety-two times per minute, but you don't seem to care... Excellent!

► !!

► HA HA HA HA HA! — Sailormoon, if you just could see the funny face I'm seeing!... — Never mind. Let's teleport to my rooms. Hold my hand, please.

► Yes.

.

.

.

► Sit down on my bed, please. — No, not there, I mean over *there*, in front of that purple armchair.

►

► Good. — To begin with, let's talk for a while. I'm always willing to learn, and maybe you've got something to teach me.

► ???!

► I'M SERIOUS, MOON!

► Forgive me!

► All right. — Well... I know that you know that I already know the real reasons why you decided to join me, but... I would like to hear those words coming from your own lips. And I want you to be absolutely sincere. You won't ever be punished for that, quite otherwise.

►

►

► As you wish. I decided to fight in your name only because of Mars. I did it just because I wanted to please her, since she believes you so sincerely. Nowadays there is only one thing that I believe in for real: the love that ties my existence to her existence! I actually don't understand a word of your "superior wisdom", and matter of fact I don't believe anymore in all the things I used to believe in before you rose either, because... Fuck!, you know what I mean! — *you* win, so you *are* the right one! Today, I can believe only in my... uh...

► ... your *selfishness*?

► !

► *Isn't it*?

► YES! *My selfishness*! — Knickers!

► Very good, Sailormoon. It is much less than I one day came to expect from you, but, well, you *are* on my side now, and after all that's what really matters.

► What???

► Answer me Moon, have you ever suspected that it was *I* who made you go to Mercury's rooms in order to read her new diary?

► *WHAT*?????

► Indeed. — But first of all, I have some more words to say about your... "selfishness".

► I... I am listening anyway. Go ahead!

► Actually, Moon, you're not being "selfish" at all. Your *self-esteem* has only grown up and gone stronger, just that. With or without the permission or acknowledgement from your conscious mind, you have been learning to love *your* "Number One", that is, *yourself*, and... as an inevitable consequence merely, you have accepted to give your best to the one who has always deserved most to receive your loving and affection — Mars.

► Yes!, all you have just spoken is very true indeed, but so what? Do *you* love Mars as much as *I* do?

► Probably *more* than you do. You see, I have never minded sharing her loving with *you*... you were not meant to expect and to have her baby, but you did it; you should not take part in raising her child, but you do, because now you are a Senshi again; however, you seem to have forgotten that you would not have come to love her if she had not forced you to leave your past behind...

Sailormoon blushed. Saturn had just made her feel so ashamed! In the brand-new world that the revolutionary girl was carefully building over, it should be so self-evident that there was no more room for stupid things like jealousy!... She closed her eyes, and begann to reprehend herself: "You fool! You stupid, ignorant, blind, — jerk!"

► Stop that shit right now! — Saturn commanded.

Sailormoon just *had* to open her eyes again.

► Saturn! You did read my mind! I could *feel* it!

► About time! Self-condemnation gets you nowhere except your own private "hell". — Just to make you notice how much I *really* care for Mars. I still don't know what she sees in you — but I am going to find out soon.

►

►

► ... I see.

► Good. — And now, I'm going to make you understand and accept that you are nothing more and nothing less than just my favorite... trophy.

► !!!!!

► Really!... In fact, you should be dead now, but...for Mars, I allowed both you and Minako to survive — because she wanted so. Later, I came to think, as she let you, Moon, live, then... it wouldn't hurt to try to convince *you* that I *am* right... And yes I pretty know that it is only a very dangerous weakness of mine, but... I didn't want to avoid it. Probably I have been only testing myself, just playing around with my silliness...

► Fuck! What are you trying to say? That you did *not* wash my brain?

► Exactly. I wanted you to be exposed to the truth, but not by my own lips of course. You simply would not listen. So, on that special day, I prepared everything for you. I made you believe that Mercury would accept to be a friend of yours again, I made you stay here and later I made you go to her rooms, I made her be elsewhere, I opened the door and let you in, I made you find and read her diary. From then on, I should not interfere anymore, and I didn't. It was all up to you to accept or to refuse the truth. And, in a way, I'm glad to see you did not disappoint all of my hopes about you. Nowadays you are a Sailorsenshi again, thanks only to you yourself, who did let part of your heart be touched by the truth. That is, in the end, I won your loyalty too — my "trophy". Now I am absolutely sure that I am right. And *you* too — deep inside. Yes, I mean that I actually had been waiting for *you yourself*, never for anybody else — my dear... *Number Three*.

Sailormoon was astonished. She did not know what to say or what to do next. She would never imagine that the "good" Hotaru and the "good" Sailorsaturn she once knew so very well were in fact *completely* made up of illusions and lies. Yes she had been so blind! She should have realized the whole truth on the night she was defeated by Sailorsaturn, but she didn't want to, she had finally become able to admit it. At last she started to *feel* that a Real "Good", a Real "Love" and a Real "Justice" would never ever have any fundamental needs for lies and deceptions... and a part of her heart, the part that was afraid of dying, made her body start to shiver again. Because what Sailorsaturn was just beginning to do to Sailormoon's mind was much more important and impressive than the apparent meanings of the words that the Senshi of Destruction was speaking. Sailormoon just kept staring at her own knees, waiting, waiting,... waiting for the next words from her Empress.

Sailorsaturn stood up.

► Computer! Lights — turn off. Scalar moonlight — turn on!

► Lights — turned off. Scalar moonlight — turned on.

► Saturn!!!

► Do you like it?

► Of course I do! A *perfect* artificial *moonlight*! It's... just incredible!

► Thanks to my Souichi-papa... again, and for a change... — Sailorsaturn observed. But Sailormoon was speechless again. However Sailorsaturn had all the time in the world, and decided to wait. After four minutes of an extremely uncomfortable silence, Sailormoon found a way to resume the conversation:

► Saturn...

► Yes?...

► I am so afraid of *you*...

► *No*. You are afraid of *yourself*. You are afraid of getting to leave behind the illusions you still want to believe in!

► Really! — But... hearing truthful words from you does *not* make me feel better...

► Don't worry anymore. I'm going to make you kill that fear of yours, and never more there will be room for it in your heart. I am making it — *now*.

► HOW?

Saturn sat down on her bed, beside Sailormoon.

► Usagi,

Sailorsaturn was slapped.

► NEVER CALL ME "USAGI" AGAIN! ONLY MARS CAN DO IT, AND WHEN WE'RE ALL ALONE ONLY! ["Fuck! What have I just done??? I'm dead!!!"]

► As you wish — Sailormoon.

► !!!!!

► ?

► *So you're not angry at me*?

► ... no.

► Saturn!... who... *what* are you?

►

►

► Sailormoon... do you *really* want me to tell you the answer?

►

►

► YES.

► Good. — Look into my eyes.

► NO!

► Why not?

► Because I can't! I cannot stand them!

► Oh well... No problem. — Then close your eyes, and just... *make believe* you are looking into my eyes. Can you do that?

► YES! — My cunt!, it is *so* easy in this way!

► Good. — Are you still looking into my eyes in your imagination?

► YES!

► Excellent! — Now, Sailormoon, I want you to know that I am going to make you kill your fear of the truth with... *PAIN*!

► NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

► Yes — Saturn whispered. Her eyes were glowing scaringly once again, emitting an overwhite light, because she was sending to Sailormoon a selective stream of memories, emotions, sensations and feelings...

Sailormoon could not open her eyes, could not open her mouth to scream, could not move her body to flee, she could only keep breathing — for she was under the power of a very strong catalepsy. Thus her material body actually was not shivering anymore, but her subtle bodies indeed still were. Her despair was "indescribable".

Sailormoon was forced to virtually live the memories of the Senshi of Destruction. As though she really was Sailorsaturn, she came to know all of her painful personal history... She saw Sailorpluto and her sordid alien "associates" kidnapping Sailorsaturn and transforming her into a mere "planet killer"... She felt the pain that Saturn had to go through in order to forget who and what she really was... She came to know how the artificial "good" and faked Sailorsaturn was implanted into her mind and programmed to wake up and function whenever it was "needed"... She did feel the pains that the true self of Hotaru had gone through for ages, silently struggling to stay alive somehow... She went overshocked for finally coming to know that it was Queen Serenity who ordered Sailorpluto to time-travel and transform the Princess of Saturn into a living "doomsday device" a couple of years before the birth of the Moon Princess, because of a misinterpreted prophecy... She also came to know that the true Sailorsaturn suffered even more when the artificial personality of the "good" Sailorsaturn made Hotaru's body grow up and age much faster than it ever should... She experienced the whole despair that Hotaru fell into when she started to realize who she really was and what they had done to screw up her existence forever... She felt the terrible doubts that Hotaru could not fight very well, she felt how much Hotaru had been suffering for her sanity... By last Sailormoon understood that the "evil nature" of Sailorsaturn she was taught about actually would be just the original Sailorsaturn eventually wanting to take revenge for the things the Moon Kingdom secretly had done to her... She saw Hotaru almost becoming insane, painfully divided between her secret and desperate efforts to restore the works created by her father and the learned obligations to the anachronous Moon Kingdom and to her "friends", the other Senshi... She came to know that the true self of Hotaru actually nearly died when her body was invaded by Mistress 9... And then the pains she was feeling became so huge that made her get to move her mouth to scream:

► HOTARU!, PLEASE GET ME OUT OF YOUR HELL RIGHT NOW! —
PLEASE!, PLEASE!!, PLEASE!!!

► As you wish, my love — Saturn softly whispered, after having touched Sailormoon's forehead with the tip of her right middle finger. Sailormoon finally could open her eyes and move the rest of her body. With no hesitation she put her head on the left shoulder of Sailorsaturn and started to cry her most bitter tears.

Saturn started to caress the left cheek of Sailormoon with her fingertips — very slowly, very softly, very lightly and very gently, as only she knew how to do; many minutes later, when Sailormoon had no more tears to shed on that day, she said:

► The truth speaks for itself. I'm just a messenger.

Sailormoon had been hurt so deep that she found the strength to face the eyes of Sailorsaturn at last.

► Hotaru!, I didn't know it!, I swear I didn't know it! — And what hurts me most is to know that, anyhow, *I* was just another piece of all that dirt! I feel so filthy! Please forgive me, Hotaru, — PLEASE FORGIVE ME!

► I will... if you forgive yourself first.

► NO!!! — I *cannot* do it! — *YOU KNOW* I CANNOT DO IT!
I AM BEGGING, PLEASE FORGIVE ME! — PLEASE!!!

► If you wish so... There are only three things that you will have to do. Just do them, and you are forgiven — forever.

► *What things*?

► To worship me. To adore me. To love me.

► Yes!, my Mistress! I will worship you, I will adore you, and I will sure love you! As you wish! From now on, for you, my living goddess, I will do anything! I will give you my best, I will give you my everything! — Hotaru!, I will go where your destiny takes me! — Now and forever, I'm yours, I'm yours, I'm yours! — I swear! Please let me hold you!, please let me kiss you!, please let me love you! — I'M YOURS!
