Act LXIV
Aid from Neptune's Nymphs

Sailor Nemesis was on the moon known as Thalassa. "I'm sure I saw them near this planet."

The moon was slightly elongated. She came across a large concentration of water. There were stones to jump across, leading to a small stone building, partially inundated with water.

Sailor Palus, Juno and Menard were on Despina. They came across a small, isolated, icy island. A woman wearing a blue gown and aqua tiara appeared. She had fish fins on the back of her arms and legs. The woman presented them with half of a ship's wheel, made out of gold.

"Um, what's that?" asked Sailor Juno.

"You must find the other half," replied the woman, disappearing.

"I wish she would've told us where the other one is," said Sailor Palus.

"We'll find it. I wonder how the others are doing," said Sailor Menard.

Sailor Chibimoon, Vesta and Celis were on Naiad. They were talking with a water nymph which was sitting atop a small spring. The nymph had blue skin and was naked. "There is nothing I can do for you now. I need the woman of Galatea to help you," explained the nymph.

"Come with us to Galatea. It will be easier that way," said Sailor Vesta.

"I cannot leave this place. I am bound to this spring. Bring back the milk-white Sicilian."

"Are you serious?" said Sailor Vesta, frustrated.

"Let's not waste anymore time," said Sailor Celis.

Sailor Palus, Juno and Menard were exploring Thalassa.

"Anion Blaster!"

They were blasted by a negatively charged attack. Sailor Nemesis was standing behind them. They were lying on the ground. They had many small, black and purple orbs of negative energy slowly draining their power. "You ambushing bitch," said Sailor Juno.

"Is this what you were looking for?" said Sailor Nemesis, holding the other half of the golden ship wheel.

"Thanks for saving us the trouble," said Sailor Palus.

"Why are you and Prince Uranus so interested in this stupid treasure hunt?" She took the other half of the wheel from them.

Sailor Menard used her power of light to eradicate many of the anions on their bodies. Sailor Menard used her cation thruster attack against Sailor Nemesis. Many small, white orbs of positive energy engulfed Sailor Nemesis.

As she was busy trying to get them off, the sailor senshi put both halves of the ship wheel together.

"I underestimated you. But it doesn't matter, those dark energy orbs still attached to you will continue to drain your power," said Sailor Nemesis.

"Those light energy orbs around you will drain your negative power," replied Sailor Menard.

Sailor Nemesis gathered her negative powers to get rid of most of the light energy orbs off her body. She used her dark beam attack against them, greatly injuring them. "I won't underestimate you again," promised Sailor Nemesis.

Icy waters spewed forth from a shrine built to Thalassa, freezing Sailor Nemesis. "Get out of here now. You must complete your mission," said a voice, coming from within the shrine.

They used what little strength they had and left.

Sailor Nemesis was trying to break free.

Sailor Chibimoon, Vesta and Celis were on Galatea. They saw a dim, white light in the distance. They followed it, eventually coming across a nude woman whose skin was white, like ivory. "This must be who Naiad was talking about," thought Sailor Celis.

They explained why they were there. "There is something that only Naiad can extract from inside me. I will go with you," said Galatea.

They arrived at Naiad with Galatea. "Thank you for bringing her," said Naiad.

Galatea walked to the spring to Naiad. Naiad embraced her, passionately kissing her and caressing her ivory body all over. Water gushed out of her mouth into Galatea's.

The water filled up inside her body and poured out her orifices. A small, silver colored object protruded out of her vaginal opening. Naiad reached up Galatea's vagina, pulling it out.

The object had different images on both sides. One side resembled a merman, and on the other side resembled a seal. Naiad gave them the object. "What's this for?" asked sailor Chibimoon.

"It is the metamorphic pendant of Proteus. It will help you find him," replied Naiad.

Sailor Palus, Juno and Menard traveled to Nereid. The name of that moon was written on the golden ship wheel. As they were walking around in some shallow water, the golden ship wheel glowed, seeming to react with something. The ground started trembling, causing a silvery rock to ascend. There was an indentation in the rock in the shape of a ship's wheel. After putting it inside the indentation, part of the rock crumbled away, revealing an entrance into a cave.

It was very foggy inside, making it easy to get lost. There was a beacon of light in the distance. It came from a lighthouse.

They arrived at the top of the lighthouse, where a small compass was sitting upon a table. The compass was blank, except for a needle on it. Sailor Palus picked it up. "It looks like it's broken."

"That's because you haven't chosen a destination yet," replied a voice.

A nude sea nymph appeared saying, "When you have chosen a destination, a light will appear on the compass. If you walk in the right direction, the needle will always be pointing to the light."

They left the lighthouse, using the compass to find their way out of the silvery cave. They met up with the other sailor senshi on Proteus.

Proteus was mostly covered in water, with a few patches of land. "What are we supposed to be doing here?" asked Sailor Menard.

"To find some guy named Proteus," answered Sailor Chibimoon.

"I don't see anything here but seals on land," said Sailor Celis.

"Let's go check the water," suggested Sailor Vesta.

There were many seals swimming underneath the water.

They swam to the surface for air every so often, before diving back under, in search of Proteus. They saw a seal that was bigger than the others. As they approached it, the pendant reacted. The great bull seal turned into its true form, which was a merman. "That's got to be Proteus," said Sailor Vesta.

Proteus swam away. "Don't let him get away," said Sailor Celis.

Proteus was a much better swimmer. They were losing him. "Okay girls, it's time to use our fish catching technique," said Sailor Vesta.

The sailor quartet joined hands and used their Jumbo Brazilian Net technique. Proteus was caught in their giant net, desperately trying to escape.

"Not very many people have been able to catch me. I am impressed," said Proteus.

"Can you help us get the key of Neptune?" asked Sailor Juno.

"Use this on Triton. You will find the castle's location which holds the key of Neptune."

He handed them a twisted conch shell. "A shell?" asked Sailor Chibimoon.

"Just blow it like a trumpet and you will find the castle of Triton."

They arrived on Triton. The entire moon was covered in water. Sailor Chibimoon blew the twisted conch shell. The water rose high up in the air and parted, revealing the golden castle of Triton. They descended down to the golden castle.

Sailor Nemesis saw them enter and began following them.

The sailor senshi were in a giant labyrinth. "We could be wandering around here for weeks," said Sailor Juno.

Sailor Menard pulled out the compass. They used it to find their way through the labyrinth.

The waters that parted allowing them access to the castle came crashing down, covering the entire moon in water once again. The castle flooded. The sailor senshi rose to the ceiling. They now had to swim through the labyrinth. There were small air packets, shaped like bubbles throughout the castle, preventing them from drowning.

Sailor Nemesis swam near a dark spot in the the castle which appeared and disappeared sporadically. It created a large whirlpool. She was sucked into it. It sucked her outside of the castle. She quickly swam to the surface with barely enough breath left.

The sailor senshi avoided the traps in the labyrinth with the help of the compass. The compass guided them through the four major hallways, leading to the key of Neptune. They took the Adam, Plateau, Le Yerrier and Galle hallways which led them to the key.

After taking the key, a gigantic eel was released from a cage within the labyrinth. They saw it coming towards them in the distance. They used the compass to help them find the way back to the entrance and escape.

They busted their way through the doors of the castle, swimming to the surface as fast as they could. The eel was a little behind. It was a tight squeeze moving through the walls of the labyrinth.

Sailor Nemesis was waiting for them at the surface. They got out of the water and flew into the air. "Now it's time for my revenge," said Sailor Nemesis.

The giant eel jumped out of the water, knocking Sailor Nemesis into the water with its large body. "Perfect timing," said Sailor Vesta. They left to retrieve the next key.
