Chapter 15.Armagedon.

They all stared at him in static, terrified, unable to move. The stranger in the body of his companion gave them glances full of perverse satisfaction and contempt. The first to react was Tom who addressed himself in a calm and conciliatory tone towards the one that he still friend was his friend.

-Roy, calm down, what's the matter? – Can we help you?

Armageddon gazed at him with delight, only to move one hand and the boy felt an invisible force that threw him against the wall crushing against it.

- Are you deaf? - replied the demon, showing in his eyes that reddish glow. -

-Who are you? -Cooan was speechless but still she could ask.  -What have you done to Roy?

-I'm getting tired of repeating it! - Are all humans so stupid? - He hissed visibly irritated. -

Tom rebuilt himself and faced him. Commenting on the girls.

-I already have it! , If he has been possessed by one of these demons. We will have to expel him. If I hit him hard he will leave his body.

-It is true! - They usually do that. - Cooan agreed with optimism. -

But Armageddon shook his head and smiled fondly as Tom approached him with a fighting stance declaring.

- Sorry man, I do not like having to do this, but it's for your sake.

The demon did not bother to dodge him and his opponent hit him in the stomach with two punches that nevertheless did not disturb him. The boy opted for a chain of attacks, with several kicks and punches that were equally useless, until his adversary took the initiative by slapping him with the one that knocked him down.

- Hahaha! You're a miserable worm. - Armageddon mocked. - But this is fun. Tell me what would you do for your friend? Would you really be able to face me to save him? - He asked with sinister curiosity. -

His opponent stood up, repeating his fighting stance and spat.

-You have already seen it! I am ready to release Roy and for that I will do anything. You will get out of him one way or another.

And he struck again with increasing fury, but the demon barely turned his head or shrank slightly to the rhythm of the clash.

- I want you to give us back to our friend. Leave him in peace and leave here! - The boy repeated almost on the verge of exhaustion, while the girls added in turn. -

- Please, resist Roy. -  Cooan asked him.-

-You must free yourself! - Beruche shouted. -

- I'm afraid that's impossible, I told you that your friend is dead. - Armageddon responded now with visible joy.

-You bastard! - Tom shouted that he attacked him with two other punches that did not have any effect on his opponent.-

Armageddon finally reacted, stretching Tom with unbridled speed on one of his arms and holding his rival at the neck, lifting him two feet from the ground.

-Poor pathetic and stupid human! - Sentenced with false condescension. – Do you think you can beat me? Hey? Idiot, you see. I think I have not explained myself clearly enough. But now I will be more direct.

Tom tried to free himself of that prey in his throat using both hands and using all his strength, but he was unable to make it. He could barely breathe. Cooan came to his aid and tried to open the hands of the demon begging at the same time.

- Roy please, react! ...

But Armageddon pushed her away with invisible energy as he added rejoicing as he explained.

-There's a little difference between the other demons and me. They did possess the humans that housed them and so you could expel them in such a simple way. But I have lived in this body since I was born in this incarnation. Roy and I are part of the same essence. For me he was only a facade, a shield that allowed me to develop until I reached my maximum power. Ha, ha, ha...

Those words froze the girls. Tom did not want to believe it either, but he had enough trying to breathe.

-No matter how hard you hit me, I'll never get out of my body, you idiot! It would take a lot more power than you have to make me do that. - His enemy concluded, hissing with utter contempt as he tossed the boy against the wall so violently that it left him unconscious as a result of the hard impact while Armageddon hissed. - You're just trash! You are not even worthy to be killed by me.

Cooan attended her ill-fated companion trying to reanimate him while Beruche desperately tried to bring out what might remain of her friend.

-Please, Roy, fight him, I know you're there.

Then the demon stared at her and she felt a chill that ran through her body, she knew that look. Armageddon smiled and inquired in a tone of burlesque interest.

-Have not we met before? I know your face, let me think, of course! - He remembered with a perfidious smile. - It was a long time ago, or rather it will be. In Nemesis, you were one of those sent from the Wise. You and that one over there. - He pointed to Cooan who was also stunned. -

-You? - Beruche muttered, remembering too. - You were the one who looked at me that time, that soldier masked in the black helmet!

-Very smart! - adding Armageddon river. - You will see. The Black Moon was mediated by us. All of you, stupid people! You were under our control. You were only our puppets, whose only mission was to serve our purposes. Like this pathetic human who lodged me in his body.

-But it's not like that anymore! - Bertie shrieked through tears. - We are no longer puppets! We are free of you, we have our own destiny and Roy will have it too! We will release him from you!

-We'll save him! - Cooan said with all his determination. -

- Poor little idiots. There is no destiny for you. - The demon mocked, shaking his head and raising a sinister smile to expose. - We will dominate the Earth. With my strength, which is now immense and my demons comrades, we will wipe this miserable planet out and none of you can prevent it. Do you think that now you will do better than in the forest of Rarel? Oh, how much sorry I am for you, princess! - He sneered at Beruche. - A guardian of the Earth as naive as pathetic.

She looked at him blankly, even though she was confused and for some reason that name said something to her. He was vaguely familiar, but she could not remember why. Although her disquisitions were interrupted by her sister.

-We will defeat you, just as we have escaped of your control. We already did it once and the warriors of justice will help us! - She intonated sentencing with all the rotundity that could gather and a look full of challenge. - They'll never let you get away with this, they could stop us...

- Well, such a silly thing! Another voice interrupted her, the one that threatened them a few days ago, sentencing with contempt. - For defeating a wretched garbage like you and your ridiculous prince. Against our power they will have nothing to do.

-That voice - Armageddon acknowledged, smiling. - Valnak. It's you?

The alluded one appeared to his side and said jovially as well.

-Of course, my friend! - Remember that I promised you and I do not miss my word. At least with whom I commit myself in the name of the Hell.

- I'm so glad to see you again. - Said his companion and both shook hands to the horror of the girls. - Between you and me, we will conquer this planet. Nothing and nobody will oppose us.

-Well, maybe these two give us some war. - Valnak humorously countered by pointing at the girls who stared at each other in terrified disbelief - Let's end them all at once. - He said with amusement.

            Cooan held the unconscious Tom, she very uneasy for him, and Beruche covered both of them, in spite of the fear she was feeling, they wanted to take the example from their friends. Evoking the value of the Sailors they faced those two terrible beings without retreating. Although it was Armageddon who, mocking with a scowl of contempt, replied.

-They? Do not make me laugh Valnak! - And moving his head added jocularly - no ... I have a better idea. Let them tell their friends the warriors. Let them see how we annihilate them, how we destroy their world and enslave their race. Then we will deal with them and their betrayal in some particularly painful way. Until then, may they spend their last days with that anguish...

- Yes - agreed visibly excited his interlocutor - It's a great idea! You've always been more theatrical than I was for those things. But now we have to go, we must inform the Great Sage. Although, you cannot present yourself dressed like that, it would not be worthy of your category, my friend.

Said and done, with a gesture of his hands Valnak emitted a lightning towards Armageddon that underwent a change in his clothes. The sports clothes he wore were transformed into an armour identical to that of Valnak. With the same grade badges.

-Thank you very much - he said, looking pleased at his outfit. - I am very pleased to have again my combat uniform.

At that moment a group of boys attracted by the commotion approached there. They were all amazed at what they saw. Valnak, watching them contemptuously, gave them hypnotic waves. To the cry of...

-You miserable humans! You have not seen anything, nor will you remember anything of us when we leave. But you will remember everything very well. And we'll make sure you never forget it. At least for the short time that you have left. - He smiled triumphantly giving a sadistic look at Cooan and Beruche that left them paralyzed with horror. - See you around…

The other boys had remained motionless as in a photograph under the suggestion of the demon who urged his colleague.

-Come with me Armageddon, we have an important mission to fulfil.

Both disappeared and all the boys returned to normal, seeing nothing strange in their eyes disintegrated in the hallways. Only a few asked what the matter with Tom, but Tom was got his sense right away and the girls explained that as a minor slip. They did not want to complicate things with a story that no one would possibly believe.

-What happened? Where's Roy? - The boy asked, still stunned. -

- Tom, he has been taken! - Cooan sobbed in dismay. -

-We could not do anything!  - added her sister wiping the tears of impotence and desolation that lashed her face. - We could not save him!

When they regained a precarious calm, the girls explained everything except the words about themselves. They helped him to his room and he lay down on the bed. He was exhausted and battered. Between Beruche and Cooan put ice in the contusions that he had and they covered him. With a blanket. Once they made sure he was better they left him to rest and ran to the first phone they found...

In Japan, at Ami's house, the girls were studying and commenting on the strange events that had happened to them. New mysteries product of who knows what kind of adversaries. At least in the northern part of the country, in the war zone of the outer solar system another threat had been detected. Luckily this time it was just a kind of probe. But it undoubtedly came from outer space and was of alien technology. In addition, just a few hours ago another of those demons made an appearance in Tokyo. At first it was Minako alone. The girl walked along with Artemis discussing some day-to-day affairs when she heard screams coming from a nearby park, without hesitation she hid among some trees of the same and became Sailor Venus. As she reached the rush to the source of this agitation, she saw a man dressed as a telephone operator, holding up a small seven-year-old who screamed in terror as her parents and the rest of the crowd watched in fear.

-Ha, ha! - Laughed this guy, holding the baby by the neck. - Let’s celebrate the arrival of the destroyer of worlds with a beautiful sacrifice.

- Girls. Come, hurry. - Minako asked her companions via the transmitter. -

Meanwhile she chose to approach cautiously towards that individual. The guy now ran out into the depths of the park. He managed to mislead his pursuers, having thrown a sort of bolt of dark energy that created a tremendous gale. Fortunately Venus was able to track him down with Artemis's help. The two arrived in time to see in horror. As that guy left a small unconscious child now on a slab of stone. This guy had pulled out a dagger and was ready to nail it to his victim...

-Venus Love chain! - Invoked Minako throwing his chain with which managed to snatch the weapon to his enemy.-

He turned to her with red eyes full of hatred, and hissing.

-Fucking nosy! Who you are?

-I am the Warrior of Love, Beauty and Justice, Sailor Venus, and in the name of Venus and love I will punish you. - She replied, adopting her characteristic pose. -

To his surprise, though, the man laughed in a roar. Soon a thick black smoke came out of him condensing into the form of a demon. It was so horrible that Minako's heart almost flipped over. It looked like a kind of mythological being, like the Medusa, head full of tentacles and a grotesque face, swollen and greenish with terrible needle-shaped teeth. His body was elongated, with arms like branches, and he wore a spice of earthy-coloured sackcloth.

-Be very careful! - A horrified Artemis warned his friend.-

-We have to take him away from the girl, - replied his companion, who, in spite of the feeling of repulsion and fear she felt at the sight of this, thought more about the security of the child. - Help me.

-Wariaog! – That dreadful being howled that, giving a further glancing at his enemy. -

This one rolled down on the ground and instantly from the eyes of that demon sprouted beams that literally petrified two trees that were behind the sailor.

-He's very powerful! - Exclaimed the cat who, without hesitation, ran valiantly towards that creature despite the cries of his friend to dissuade him.-

-Do not do it-it's very dangerous! Artemis!

-Save the little girl, I'll distract him. - It was the reply she got. -

The operation was successful. While that hideous being focused on that white cat, trying to reach him with his rays without achieving, Minako could run and when she was close enough she used her chain again. She could catch the girl, wrap her carefully in it and pull her back in one arm. Now the little girl was waking up. With so much sweetness the Sailor asked, smiling, despite the critical moment.

-What is your name, darling?

-Akane ... – The baby could replicate.-

-Good Akane, listen to me. You're going to hide among those trees until we get rid of that monster. Ok?

The frightened child immediately obeyed, after nodding she took refuge behind some nearby cherry trees. The warrior was then able to come to the aid of her partner who was having a very bad time trying to avoid the attacks of that beast...

-Venus Therapy Kiss! - Exclaimed the girl attacking her enemy.-

This one received a direct hit that knocked him down, but he got up straight away. Now, however, he stood still, watching the human and laughing ... it was a sound so terrible that it froze the blood but in spite of it Minako remained unperturbed and she spat to him.

-Can you tell what you're laughing at, you fucking monster?

-You have lost ... ha, ha, ha! ... The destroyer of worlds is already here ... I can feel it. - It was the answer, enigmatic and terrible that she received.

-I do not know what you mean, but I'm going to break up with you - she answered bravely. -

-You cannot - hissed the demon, who, to the horror of his adversary, stretched out the kind of tentacles he had for his hair, trying to catch her.

-Mars flame Sniper! - Then could be heard to the right of where Minako was. -

A fire bolt cut off several of those tentacles ... the demon screamed apparently aching for it. But they gave him no respite. At the moment another voice was heard shouting.

-Jupiter Oak revolution!

A tornado of tones between pinks and oranges knocked down that being on the ground. It was Sailor Moon who finished him, using her tiara and her transformation into Eternal...

-Silver Moon Crystal Power Kiss!

The demon howled at the impact and began to catch fire. Minako herself finished him off with her Growing Blaze causing him to explode. After they had taken cover, they all got up, still gasping for the effort and the adrenaline unleashed. It was Sailor Mercury who, more quickly recovered, and found little Akane. After returning her with her relieved and grateful parents and signing some other autograph, the sailors said goodbye to the girl and the rest. They also took care of attending to this type that upon awakening said he did not remember anything...

-I was fixing a faulty cable on the line and then ... I woke up here ... - He could babble. -

"-Do not worry, everything is fine. However, get out of here as soon as possible. - Mercury advised him. -

-Yes, over there." - Jupiter pointed him out in order to push him away from the crowd, for which he was to blame. -

The man did so. The girls sighed in relief. They hoped that would not bring consequences to that poor fellow who was innocent of having been the instrument of that demon. At last things calmed down. The girls are left alone.

-Come to my house. - Ami proposed. - It's closer and my mother has a shift in the hospital.

They agreed. This attack had greatly disturbed them. It had been quite some time since. Minako told them what that demon had said. Usagi, Ami, Makoto and Rei looked visibly worried. Luna, who joined the group, told them all.

-I believe I have found the source of evil power. I have been triangulating the origin of each attack for weeks, and they all form a very clear geometrical figure. This last one was the tip that I lacked.

-Are not you referring to a pentacle? - Ami remarked.

-Yes, indeed - replied her interlocutor. -

-And how do you know that? - Makoto asked to her mate.-

-Because it is the hallmark of the demonic forces - Ami answered. -

-If we have their position, what are we waiting for?  Let’s go for them! - Rei remarked with the assent of several of her companions. -

The noise of the telephone interrupted the conversation. Ami got up and picked up the receiver.

-Yes? Tell me. Who? Beruche, are you? What a joy! How are you doing in the US?

-Please - Bertie interrupted between uncontrolled sobs. - You have to come and help us! Only you can do something. They have taken him! He is under their control and we have not been able to prevent it.

-Calm down Bertie, what happened? - Her friend replied in earnest and as surprised as she was uneasy. -

The other girls, too concerned, approached her to try to find out, for her mate's countenance was not optimistic. So, between the emotion and the anguish, Beruche told her what happened, the gesture of Ami acted as a mirror of her great concern and her companions noticed it immediately.

-What is it? - Makoto whispered. - Has the girls ever had anything to do with it? - Ami motioned for her to shut up and tried to cheer her friend up with kind, comforting words. - Do not worry, we'll go there, although we cannot all go. Complications have arisen here too and we have new enemies. But count on me, I'll go as fast as I can.

-Please come quickly, come as fast as you can! - It is a desperate situation, life or death! We need you! - Bertie insisted frantically, watching as her sister could not suppress tears at her side. Cooan covered her mouth with one hand and tears spilled over her cheeks. - Now I have leave you, give greetings to everyone and do not say anything to my sisters, please! This is very dangerous and if they come they could be hurt or worse.

And after these words she ended the communication and demanded calm to herself and then tried to reassure her sister by telling her the conversation. Cooan was able to dominate because she was anxious to listen and was encouraged by knowing that her friends would come to their aid...

-We must have courage. We have to endure no matter how until they come. - Beruche told her -

-Yes - her interlocutor was nodding to add, trying to be positive in turn. - When they come, everything will be settled. I'm sure…

The two of them settled into her room and prayed that the demons would not return before their friends came to the rescue. Ami slowly left the telephone with a very worried countenance. She summed her companions up with the story that Beruche had told her, and all showed the same gesture of horror and uneasiness. After the first impression, they exchanged glances until one decided to take the floor. And it was Makoto who commented in a reflective manner.

- That seems even more serious than what we had to happen here. The Devlisters, Droids, Remonex, Daimons and so on, seem like a joke in comparison.

- So it has already begun. - Sighed Minako visibly sorry to ask anyone in particular. -What do we do? Should we intervene already? Do we deal with the enemies we have here?

-I cannot leave them to their fate! - Ami stated energetically. - If they need me there I will be!

-Well, I'm going to go too! - Rei intervened decisively and with a look towards Usagi that combined expectation and the plea of ​​approval as she added. - Beruche and Cooan are very good friends and I will not abandon them.

-I think I'll go with you too - she agreed, nodding her head in a slow gesture to add. - Right now things are already more controlled. After destroying this last demon I think that between Makoto and Minako they will be able to take care of any emergency that could arise. If those wicked ones decide to show up again here.

- Yes, be calm, we two are enough to monitor the movements of the enemy - added Minako. -

- We will use this that we have found to locate their headquarters here, more accurately. – Said Artemis with the assent of Luna.-

- In addition, now the four outer system warriors are here, we can also count on Tuxedo. Or even call Chibiusa of the future. - Venus added. -

- I do not know if those four will help us, they have their own problems. That matter of the probe. - Makoto doubted. -

- Even so, we can wait for a few days. And if we need them sure they will come. - Minako declared convinced. -

-For now, do not say anything to Chibiusa when she comes to visit us - cautiously advised Rei. - She really appreciates Cooan and Bertie. Surely she would insist on accompanying us. And things could get very dangerous there.

- That will be the best. Agreed Usagi. - Anyway, she'd have to stay here and behave if she comes back from the future. If necessary, she is the only one apart from me that can invoke the power of Silver Crystal. Although for now I think you two can take care of this, Mina-chan, Mako-chan. - She remarked with the assent of that two - I trust fully in you.

-Do not worry. We'll manage. - Minako assured her. -

-It's a shame not to be able to see them. But I suppose there will be another occasion. - Makoto said. -

- Then I'll book tickets for the most immediate flight. - Ami explained to the others. - My mother, because of her medical conferences, has friends in the airlines and the tickets will be cheap.-  I'll come up with something to persuade her of letting me go.

-What are we waiting for?  We have to pack up and come to their aid, now! - Rei remarked again. -

- And you know. Luna reminded them prudently. – You must intervene when the time is right. And do not delay in returning. We must maintain contact and cross information. We do not know that what can wait for us here and the relation that it can have with what happens there to them...

All the girls nodded and separated to take care of their preparations. At that very moment, at the seat of the sect, Armageddon paid his respects to the hooded chief. He greeted his chest with one of his arms and tilted his head slightly with a half-smile of satisfaction.

- I greet you, Great Sage. It is a pleasure for me to return to my task. I have been waiting for this moment for a long time.

-Good, excellent! - He replied with pleasure, congratulating the other demon. - Very well, Valnak, you have fulfilled your mission perfectly!

-Thank you, Great Sage. See? I have already told you - replied his interlocutor, quite proud of himself. -

- I'm very pleased with your success, yes. - Continued the Great Sage now in his usual monotone tone with which he objected - but it is only the beginning. Now, between the two, you must fulfil a new mission. The one that really matters. You must quickly gather the Yalmutud spheres to create a dimensional corridor between this world and the Averno. In this way our infernal hordes can come and destroy this miserable planet.

-Well, sir, but someone may oppose us - Armageddon warned. -

- Yes, some Justice Warriors. - Valnak added cautiously - those that have already frustrated our plans. And surely those two stupid traitors here will run to call them.

- That's what I wanted to talk about, we may be favoured by luck. It has come to my attention that these warriors were facing the threat of an enemy who claims the same as us. Conquer this planet. - The Sage revealed them. -

-Who is it? - Inquired Valnak with interest. Is it someone of ours?

- I do not know that for sure. My reports come from some time ago in northern Japan and we have no agents there at the moment. Except for the lures we sent to Tokyo. Our Acolytes there do not know the identity of these alleged invaders. - The Wise replied - but it is good news. Maybe the warriors cannot come here.

- Well, I do not like the idea. - Armageddon said while he was suspiciously worried. - Those warriors do not worry me, I know we will beat them without problems, but that new enemy of theirs, yes. We do not know the extent of his power, if he defeats our enemies and follows the same that us, we would have to face him. We must be careful.

- You're right to mistrust. Although for now what happens in that country should not worry us. - The Great Wise answered by adding patiently - but each thing in due time. I will guide you in locating the spheres hidden on this planet and when you reunite them and our armies of darkness are here, no one will be able to stop us.

- Yes, the Yalmutud will be very well kept. Although I believe that with our combined power we will be able to force their protections, even if they have sacred seals. - Armageddon pointed out with visible complacency. -

-Then let's go through the spheres without further delay!"- Valnak urged enthusiastic with the idea. -

- Yes, how are we going to have fun! - His mate congratulated him, wishing they were on their way. -

Valnak and Armageddon bowed courteously to the Sage and disappeared. In the college, Tom had already fully recovered by meeting the girls, together and calmer, studying a plan of action. The boy suggested an idea.

- You see, I had been meditating for some time, but I did not dare to take the step. Now I see no other choice. - In front of the faces of interest of both he explained to them - I think that I have been talking about it for a long time. But you will see, I know a guy who is skilled in occult and magic issues, I am sure he can help us. I will have to leave for a few days, can you manage alone? - He wanted to know, with concern.

- Do not worry, we know how to take care of ourselves. - Bertie reassured him, though she was not quite sure what she was saying under that circumstances. -

- Go Tom, and do not be afraid of us! When you return, we will overcome them and free Roy from their evil influence. - Cooan encouraged him. -

-Good luck, girls, I'll be back as soon as I can! - Promised the boy who said goodbye and left without losing even a second after making an austere luggage. -

When they were alone, Beruche confided her fears to Cooan.

-How can we stop them? We have no idea of ​​their true ability. But from what I've seen I do not think even with our old powers we could do anything against them and we're not the ones we were.

- We must have faith. If the sailors come to our aid we will have more possibilities. -  Cooan tried to encourage her sister. -

-Yes, you're right, we must fight for Roy, for us and for the rest of the world. - Beruche agreed with fierce determination. -

So both agreed to be on guard, but the days went by and nothing abnormal happened. The demons seemed to have evaporated. At least in college. They meanwhile justified Tom's absence because of family problems and took care, despite everything they had in mind, to take notes so that his friend did not lose classes. As for Roy, it just seemed like no one was surprised that he had left for a few days. The girls waited impatiently for their friends to confirm their arrival and finally received a call from Ami, they were going to board a flight in a couple of hours and they would be there the next day. Beruche and Cooan went to wait for them at the airport. When the plane landed and saw them coming down they could not suppress their joy, they ran towards them.

-Thank heaven you're already here! - Exclaimed Cooan with joy, embracing Rei. –

- It's great seeing you again! I have hope now that we will succeed. - Bertie added that she did the same with Ami. -

- And I'm invisible, right? - Usagi said with her arms in jars on the ladder yet. -

They all laughed. The two sisters moved towards her, greeting her affectionately. For the first time in many days something made them smile and they thanked that. Then Rei asked them in a more serious tone.

- Well girls, now tell us carefully what has happened here.

- It's very dangerous, I think they far out power any of our Black Moon members. - Calibrated Beruche. -

- Well, in Japan we have also met with hard enemies. - Ami told them. - After those who used to steal pure hearts, we faced others that stole dreams and then the last ones which went after some stellar seeds. We had a hard time defeating them. Now there are other similar that the ones you have described here. Let's hope they do not work together.

- Well, girls. Usagi interrupted to ease the situation. - We are here, we will take care of everything. I do not think they are so serious.

- You always take everything lightly. - Rei chided her with her accustomed severity, assuring her. -Cooan and Beruche would not have called us if it were not serious.

- Ok Rei, do not get angry. - Answered her companion trying to rest importance to that and adding even in a better mood- remember that we have the power of the Eternal Moon on our side. Just like the Grail.

-What do you mean? What is that of the Grail? - Beruche asked visibly surprised. -

- One thing Usagi had, but she lost.  - Rei said with a reproachful tone. -

- Although now, thanks to another friend, she has increased her power quite a bit. - Ami explained to them -

-I can now become the Eternal Sailor Moon! Usagi said with a thumbs up. - Calm down, girls, this is going to be piece of cake! - She assured her smugly. -

-Then it is true that you have increased your power! - Cooan said excited. -

-That's right. - She nodded, nevertheless she objected. - But the only downside is that I cannot keep it for long. As soon as I use it I'm exhausted.

Although Rei made a gesture of surprise, however Ami gave her a slight touch on her elbow to not say anything and it was she who declared with a smile address Sailor Moon.

- But we're here to give you a hand.

- Yes - Rei smiled too, replaying her perplexity and adding now, but mockingly. - Even though you are now the Eternal Sailor Moon you are still the Eternal Super Monkey Usagi.

-What did you call me, Rei? - She asked with an irritated suspicious tone. -

- You heard it, Monkey. Or do you want me to spell it to you? M, O ... -Her partner suggested mockingly. -

-You'll pay for that! - Usagi exclaimed and both began to pinch and cling to their hair.-

Ami looking so embarrassed, tried to separate them with the typical gesture of “I do not know them." As If she addressed to the curious who circulated around that place.

- Wow, those two will never change. - Cooan smiled relieved adding with some nostalgia. - They remind me of Petz and Karaberasu.

-Yes - said Beruche, adding, - and now I am calmer. I trust that between them, Tom, you and I, we will succeed in overcoming them.  We'll get Roy back and we'll get rid of those villains.

At last, things between Usagi and Rei were settled and they left the airport. Both sisters accompanied their friends to a hotel near the university. When they returned to the campus, late, they must have escaped surveillance. They decided to lie down to rest and face the new day with new strength. Both managed to fall asleep with the hopes renewed in their hearts. Meanwhile their friends stayed in a hotel. There, before they went to sleep, they talked.

-Why did you say that? - Rei wanted to know. - Now your power does not have that kind of limitation.

-It's her battle, not ours. -  Usagi replied softly. -

-No longer. When those monsters attacked them also became mine. - Replied her friend. -

-Well, we must calm down and analyse the situation - Intervened Ami. - Judging from what you have told us, things will be complicated.

- Yes - Usagi said with a worried expression. - I just hope we're able to help them.

The other two did not say anything more about that. They just said good night and went to their rooms. The demons had meanwhile begun their particular collection. As they had calculated, despite the protective measures that protected these stones, they managed to seize those items by using powerful spells that destroyed the places where they were housed. Valnak smiled, commenting on his companion with visible good cheer.

-It's all coming out perfect! Better than we thought!

- Yes - Armageddon agreed. - And soon we will meet our goal.

- And this time there will be no slips or unexpected enemies. - Assured his companion. -

- You should not trust yourself too much. The lack of caution is very dangerous. - Armageddon warned him. -

-The only ones I know who could defeat us, the race of golden warriors, no longer exist. - Said Valnak. - If perhaps you own the last of them.

-But he could not reach his zenith. - The other demon objected with some concern in his tone. - He should have done it before I woke up.

-You can do it now! - Valnak encouraged him. -You have reincarnated with that body and you have followed his own development, this time you are not an intruder in him. You are an integral part...

- Yes, but...

Armageddon did not continue, his companion looked at him with an interested gesture and inquired in surprise.

-Is anything wrong?

- No, everything is perfect. - The only thing that happens is that this damn traitor did a good job with the seal and I had a hard time breaking it. Thank Hell I could count on your help.

- That's what friends are for! - Your colleague laughed.

- You have to catch up on many things. What news from inner circles!

- The fifth Column has spread and we know now who some of their leaders are. - Valnak commented, adding with more unconcern. - But be calm, once we destroy this planet they will have nothing to fight for and we can eliminate them.

- I have a real desire to set the score with some of them. - Armageddon replied.-

- And you will have the opportunity, my friend. This is only the beginning of our triumph! - Valnak said those words in an optimist moon. -

 His colleague nodded with the same assurance as they both took off and flied through the air toward their next destination.
