                          Chapter Twelve: The Enemy Revealed!


     The impact of explosions rocked the "Hunter" as rockets slammed into the
water around it. The echo made a hollow sound and, the Sailor Scouts all stared
at Pluto's revelation!
     "Tem...Temporal Dominators?" Sailor Venus whispered. "What are they?"
     "A terrifying enemy that attacked Crystal Tokyo in the 24th Century."
Pluto sighed. "It is all coming back to me now. I was sent to investigate a
disturbance that took place near the Gateway to Time. As I arrived, I found the
gate open..then I was attacked! I was unable to defend myself as, they were too
powerful." Her voice sounded grim as she spoke. "They look like dark
shadows..and their eyes glow green. They have servants they call the Mystic
Shadows. But, they are not as intelligent as the Dominators themselves."
     "Then they'll be easy to beat..won't they?" Jupiter hesitated as she
spoke.
     "No..they will be..diifficult." Pluto looked at everyone. "Please, we must
go now! Every second we delay, all history will be destroyed!"
     Sailor Moon looked at Sailor Mars who's face was in agony. She could tell
where Mars heart lay. "Can...cab we delay even a second?" she asked. "We can't
leave our friends like this!"
     Artemis swore. "Sailor Mercury, have you been able to hack into the base's
central computer?"
     Mercury shook her head. "No..no luck at all. It's like they have a
defensive wall up."
     "WE MUST GO!" Pluto reitirated. "Time is at stake here! ALL TIME!!"
     Suddenly an explosion hit the "Hunter" and men screamed as the sound of
water was heard. Raye gasped as Ensign Bell stumbled into the room.
     "Jim!" Sailor Mars shouted. She rushed over to him and caught him as he
fell. Ensign looked up in pain and saw the circle of Scouts.
     "You...you need to get out of here!" he gasped. "If you don't and what 
that woman says is true...you have to stop it!"
     Sailor Mars stared at him and looked over her shoulder at the other
Scouts. Luna bowed her head as another explosion sounded. "We must go Raye."
     Artemis nodded. "Please Raye.."
     Raye looked at Ensign Bell again and he smiled. "Go dear lady. And, I'll
never forget you." He hugged Sailor Mars close to him and then broke away. 
     Mars stood with tears running down her cheeks staring at him. Sailor
Mercury's voice choked. "We have to teleport!"
     Sailor Moon bowed her head. "Sailor teleport!" She ordered looking up
after a second.
     Mars turned and joined the others still with tears in her eyes. Luna
jumped on Sailor Moon's shoulder and Artemis joined Venus...
     SAILOR....TELEPORT!!!! the Scouts shouted as one. A glow formed
around the team as they began the teleport. As they did so, another
explosion hit the "Hunter" and they disappeared not knowing it's fate.....
                        ******************************
          

     Sailor Moon blinked as the teleport ended. Sailor Pluto turned and nodded.
"We're close to the time distortion. Everyone...follow me!" Pluto ran down a
corridor with the others behind her.
     Sailor Jupiter glanced quickly at Sailor Mars who's face was a mask of
grief. She grit her teeth wishing she could help. Sailor Venus also looked
concerned.
     Sailor Mercury tapped on her computer as the group stopped at a door.
"There's an enormous power source behind this door. I can't identify what type
though."
     Pluto nodded. "Temporal energy...we must be careful." 
     Sailor Moon smiled at everyone. "Okay then...let's go!"

     Sailor Jupiter opened the door and they entered into a huge room filled
with computers and flashing light. In the center a huge column of light filled
the room....
     "That's the time stream!" Pluto said.
     The next thing the Scouts knew was a horrific explosion as three shadowy
forms appeared with glowing green eyes! All of them fell and Sailor Venus
screamed as the shrapnel from the explosion ripped through her leg. Sailor Moon
gasped as she slammed into a wall and, Sailor Mars dove for cover barely
escaping the fate that had met Venus.
     The shadows advanced and Pluto stood up looking at them. "Dominators!
Everyone...get to the time stream! I'll block for you!!!!"
