Sailor Shadow
Episode 9 Chapter 3
"A
Dark Day for the Scouts"
Well, Sailor Moon's gone, the Crescent Moon Wand is
missing, Butterscotch has the same marking as Luna and Artemis...
She also made a strange sound that sounded like talking... Was
it? I dunno... well, I do, but I'm not gonna tell you... yet!
~PART I~
(Robyn is walking back to the temple
holding Butterscotch close hoping no one would see the mark)
REI
~curiously~ "Robyn?
What's wrong?"
ROBYN
"Nothing, Rei, just worried about my cat." >sighs< "Hey, do you know where
Serena went?"
ALL THE GIRLS
>teardrop effect<
BAY
{"Yeah, you saw her get
kidnapped by Malachite!"} ~nervously~
"She probably took off for a milkshake or something." >smiles<
ROBYN
>sighs< "Yeah,
she likes those..." >pets
Butterscotch, who's still being held close<
REI
"Amy, why don't you see if you can find her? I
mean, you were with her last..." >winks
at her<
AMY
"Right. I'll see you in a little bit." >waves as she leaves the Temple<
ROBYN
~hopeful~ "Um, Bay,
can I talk to you alone for a minute?" >looks
to the largest tree nearby<
BAY
~confused~ "Sure. >looks at the others< You guys go on
ahead, I'll be there soon. >looks to
Robyn< "What's up?"
ROBYN
>holds Butterscotch up towards
Bay< "Why does she have this mark now?" >She asked very straightforwardly<
BAY
>blushes< "Uh...
there could be two reasons for that, Robyn."
ROBYN
>cocks an eyebrow< ~antsy~ "Well?"
BAY
"Well, it could just be all the stress of what
happened...?"
ROBYN
>thinks for a moment<
"All at once.... a change like this?! Her color's a
bit different too... No, what's the other reason?"
BAY
>sighs, then looks at Robyn and
sees the shadow of some kind of symbol<
"LUNA!!"
ROBYN
~confused~ "Why are
you calling-"
LUNA
"Yes, Bay?>sees Robyn's
'shadow'< Hunh!?" >teardrop<
ROBYN
~shocked~ "LUNA
TALKS?! I-don't-feel-so..." >she
passes out and Butterscotch lands on top of her<
BUTTERSCOTCH
~calmly, as she gets off Robyn~
"I guess it's a good thing I didn't say anything... right,
Luna?"
LUNA
~a little surprised and questions~
"Aphrodite?!"
BUTTERSCOTCH
>nods head<
"Right!"
LUNA
~a bit shocked~ >sees a small symbol appear on Robyn's
forehead... then disappear< "That symbol?! That
means that Robyn must be..."
ARTEMIS
>from the tree branch above<
"Sailor Shadow." >jumps
down onto the grass beside Robyn< "How've you
been, Aph?
Where's her black pendant?!"
APHRODITE
"Her mother had it. But no one knows where it is.
It was to be given to her on her 18th birthday, but her mother
died before that..."
LUNA
"Was she buried with it?"
APHRODITE
"No, but it was lost in the move. It might be at
her house!"
BAY
~confused~ "I'm
lost... ~concernedly~ But shouldn't
we get her inside?"
CATS
>teardrops<
ARTEMIS
"Yeah, can you carry her? I'll get the others if
not..."
LITA
>picking up Robyn<
>grunts< "Uh! I got her, Artemis, c'mon." >walks into the temple with a still
unconscious Robyn<
~PART II~
BERYL
>waving her hands over her
crystal ball< ~calmly~
"You failed, Malachite. I do not tolerate failure!"
MALACHITE
>bows< ~apologetic~ "I am deeply sorry, my
Queen. I did not capture that new girl. >looks
up< However I think you'll be happy with what I did
manage to retrieve." >evil
smirk<
>Darien brings a box made of glass...
looking a bit like a coffin! Inside was a figure of a girl
surrounded in a dark mist/fog<
BERYL
>humphs< "Who
could you possibly have...?" >waves
her hand in the direction of the 'coffin', the fog clears and the
face is revealed< ~pleased~
"My, Malachite... you have impressed me..."
MALACHITE
>smiles< "What
are your orders for us, my Queen?" >looks
at Sailor Moon, then at Darien.. who is apparently deep in
thought while staring at the sleeping Sailor Moon<
DARIEN
"Why don't we bring her over?"
BERYL
~snappily~ "That would
waste what precious little energy we have remaining!" >pondering as she stares into the crystal
ball<
>movement from iside the 'coffin'<
DARIEN
~excitedly and worridly~
"My queen! She's waking up!?"
MALACHITE
~shocked~ "WHAAAT?!
IMPOSSIBLE!" >looks inside and sees
he was telling the truth<
BERYL
"Do something you fools!"
MALECHITE AND DARIEN
>Darien keeps and eye on Sailor
Moon... whom he's starting to feel as if he knows... while
Malachite retrieves his crystal<
SAILOR MOON
~groggily~ "ohhh...
Where? Hunh?" >Her vision is a bit
blurred< "D-darien?"
DARIEN
>jolts back slightly<
~coldy, expressionless~ "You
are the prisoner of the Negaverse, and soon, you will meet your
doom, Sailor Moon..."
SAILOR MOON
>tries to move... realizes she
can, but only barely, and begins panic procedure...<
"Darien! Let me out! It's me... Serena! Remember?! ~desperately~ DARIEN! I LOVE YOU!"
DARIEN
"I don't know you, but thank you for revealing your
real name to my Queen." >slight
smirk<
BERYL
"Serena?! >gasps<
Why, Princess Serenity we have you know, don't we?! >smirks< Keep her in there! We
finally have that Moon Child!" >evil
laughter<
SAILOR MOON
~surprised~ {"She knows I'm the Moon Princess?!"}
>again tries to get loose from the
confines of the little box she was in<
MALACHITE
>appearing with a small black
box and his own star crystal< I am here, my Queen.<
DARIEN
~flatly~ Sailor Moon is Princess Serenity, Malachite.
MALACHITE
>stops and glares at
Darien...< I know that, you fool!
>then 'humphs' and looks at Queen
Beryl< I have the crystal...
BERYL
"Excellent, Malachite." >looks
at Serena through the glass, still struggling< >walks up to
the glass, and takes the crystal from Malachite on the way< {"What do you know now, Princess? And what
do you remember...?"} >as
she places her left hand on the glass palm down.<
SAILOR MOON
>scared, naturally<
"What are you doing?!"
BERYL
>smirks< "You'll
find out soon, little princess..." >the
star crystal glows in Beryl's right hand and a black light glows
from her left<
SAILOR MOON
>begins to change from Sailor
Moon back to Serena< "What's going on!?" >a pink energy glows around her. Her crescent
moon symbol glows on her forehead<
BERYL
>surprised<
"What?!"
SERENA
>closes her eyes< {"I feel different..."}
BERYL
>getting angry< {"I will not lose her this time!"}
>the black energy glows brighter... it
begins to overtake the pink<
>Serena moans a little<
"Yes!" >The pink light
disappears and the black overtakes Serena< >passes
out<"Uh." >Darien watches this with no
expression, but a feeling that he should do something... not
knowing what, though<
>Malachite smiles<
SERENA
~weakly~ {"Where are the other Scouts?"}
>Beryl starts to drain Serena's
thoughts, memories, energy... and hopes< {"Finally..."}
>starts to wake up, her outfit changes
again... to her princess dress< ~weakly~
"What do you want... you witch?!"
BERYL
"The Silver Crystal! And you..." >evil laughter<
SERENA
~still weak~ "I can't
let you..." >and she's out again...
this time for a while<
BERYL
~pleased~ "I know
where the crystal is kept... >smiles<
in her locket." >looks where she
now knows where it should be, and sees it's not there<
"What?!"
DARIEN
"What's wrong, my Queen?!"
BERYL
~angrily~ "She's not
wearing it!" >growls and teleports
out<
MALACHITE
~surprised~ "Where is
she going?!"
*~*~*~*~*~*
ROBYN
>wakes up on a bed in Rei's
temple, Artemis and Luna sleeping on the floor by the door<
"What happened...?" >looks
around, gets up and realizes she's not wearing anything!<
LUNA
>yawns and rolls over on top of
Artemis<
ROBYN
{"I gotta get outta here...
My dad's gonna wonder where I am!"} >picks up her clothes and gets dressed...
quickly< ~a little confused~
{"I forget why I'm here in the first
place, I thought I was in the park with the Sailor
Scouts..."}
A VOICE OUTSIDE THE DOOR
>fades in and out, so she only
hears< "...I know, but she'll be ok,
Aphrodite..."
ROBYN
{"Who's Aphrodite?"}
>picks up Serena's pack, climbs out
window and lands on grass...then, takes off running, not paying
attention where she's going... she runs into Bay, knocking her
over< "Oof!" >falls
over, and drops the pack, looks up< "Sorry,
Bay..."
BAY
"I'm beginning to get used to that." >frowns, and stands up<
ROBYN
>sighs< "Why
isn't Serena back yet... I'm getting a bad feeling..."
BAY
~seriously~ "She's
fine, I'm sure, Robyn!"
ROBYN
>picks up pack and drops
something< "Hunh?!" >picks
it up< "It's a Moon... ~confused~
on a stick?... What's it doing in Serena's backpack?!"
BAY
>teardrop< "Uh,
Robyn, could you come in with me?"
ROBYN
>shakes her head<
"No, I've gotta get home... Dad's-"
UNKNOWN FEMALE VOICE
"Yes, but Robyn's not going-"
ROBYN
>sees her cat and Luna walking
towards her< "Butterscotch?! Luna?!"
APHRODITE
"Robyn, there's something you need to know...
please don't pass out again!"
ROBYN
>teardrop<
"Uh... Butter-"
APHRODITE
"And my real name's 'Aphrodite'... not that I never
liked Butterscotch, Robyn..." >smiles<
ROBYN
"Um... ok, Aphrodite... why didn't you ever talk to
me before?!" >still in shock,
trying not to pass out... again<
APHRODITE
"I couldn't before the fight..." >looks at Luna, then back at Robyn who she
just now notices what she's holding in her left hand< ~surprised~ "Luna! Is that-?"
LUNA
"The Crescent Moon Wand!" >looks at Robyn< "Where did you
get it?!"
ROBYN
"It fell out of Serena's pack... when I... >smirks at Bay< 'ran into'
Bay."
>Bay smirks too<
LUNA
>teardrop< "No
wonder she didn't have it... she ran off without it...
again..."
ROBYN
~totally lost and confused~
"She didn't have it?... again?!"
BAY
"I told you I wanted you to come in with me...
There's something we need to discuss..." >takes Robyn's arm and leads her to the Temple
doors< "A LOT we need to discuss..."
