"Where are we girls?" Serena asked, "I can't remember how we got here or where 'here' actually is."
Serena, Amy, Lita, Mina, and Raye all stood in the middle of what appeared to be a very large room. The ceiling looked to be at least a mile above them. All around, ordinary objects appeared to have been supersized.
"I'm not sure how we got here Serena." Amy said, "But this definitely appears to be the dining room of a very large house. And there's the kitchen over there."
Mina backed up, looking in awe of the place, until she bumped into a huge wooden post.
"Hey look." Mina said, "Here's one of the support beams."
"That's not a support beam Mina." Raye said, pointing up, "That's a leg of the dining table."
Just then, Luna and Artemis came running around a corner and dashed up to the girls.
"I'm glad we found you!" Luna said, "We must run away! This place is very dangerous!"
"What are you talking about?" Serena asked, "What's so dangerous?"
"So it's a big room." Lita said, "What could go wrong?"
"You don't understand." Artemis said, "The room isn't the problem. It's the . . . "
Artemis stopped short as the entire group suddenly heard a very loud sound. Then again, then again. As it got louder, the floor began to shake, just a little at first, but gradually increased to a very noticeable degree. A girl's giggling could be heard.
"What is that?" Serena asked.
"Oh no!" Luna said, "She's found us!"
"Who?" Raye said.
A door on the far side of the room burst open, swinging wildly to the side. And in the doorway, stood a girl, maybe 13 years old, with big pink hair tied up in two cone-shaped odango and puffy pigtails. She wore a white tank top and a black mini skirt, leaving her midriff exposed. A pair of black, spike heeled sandals adorned her feet. A large black ball with a cat's face and ears rolled up beside her.
"Rini!!" Serena shouted, "What happened to you?!!"
Rini now towered over the girls, a literal giantess dominating the room. Her mouth was curved in a wicked smile and her big red eyes stared straight down at the tiny girls.
"Oh no!" Amy said, "We've been shrunk to only a few inches tall! And somehow, Rini is still regular size, making her a giant compared to use!"
"THAT'S RIGHT!" Rini's voice boomed, "YOU ARE NOW ALL MY PRISONERS IN MY HOUSE. YOU'RE ALL TRAPPED HERE AND I PLAN TO MAKE EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU SUFFER TERRIBLY!"
"What are you talking about?!" Serena said, "We're all your best friends. Why do you want to do this to us?"
"Serena!" Raye said, "Look at her forehead!" The girls quickly noticed a black, upside down cresent mark on her forehead.
"She completely evil!" Mina said, "She's with the Dark Moon! What do we do now?"
Rini reached down and picked up her Luna Ball. She laughted out loud.
"THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO." Rini said, "BUT ACCEPT YOUR FATE AND DIE."
"Die?!" Amy said, visibly shaken, "What do you mean, die?!"
"ALL OF YOU WILL DIE!" Rini said, bouncing her Luna Ball like a basketball, "IT IS THE ONLY WAY YOU WILL EVER HAVE YOUR TORMENT END AND IT WILL ONLY HAPPEN WHEN I WANT IT TO HAPPEN."
Luna and Artemis ran up to Rini, standing a few feet away from where she bounced her Luna Ball.
"Rini, please!" Luna shouted, "You have to listen to us!"
"She's right, Rini!" Artemis said, "You've lost your mind to the Dark Moon. Please come back to us!"
Rini, however, flashed her evil grin straight down at the two cats. As her Luna Ball came up, Rini's hand pushed it back down, right on top of Luna and Artemis.
CRASH! SPLAT! SPLAT!
With a terrific crunch, Artemis and Luna violently exploded into a burst of blood and severed limbs as Luna Pi was forcefully smashed down on top of their tiny bodies. As Luna Pi bounced back into the air, Artemis and Luna were revealed to have been crushed to death, their mangled bodies lying in a pool of their own mixed blood.
"NO!!" Serena screamed, "Luna! Artemis!"
"My god!" Mina said, "How could she?! She killed them with no remorse at all!"
Chibiusa caught Luna Pi and turned it over, looking at the sticky red spot where it had crushed the cats. Then, she glared down at the mess on the floor.
"I DON'T APPRECIATE BEING TOLD I'VE LOST MY MIND WHEN I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT I'M DOING!" Rini said, "GET MY POINT?!"
Serena was crying and the other girls were crowded around, trying to figure out what had just happend and what to do next.
"LET THAT BE THE ONE AND ONLY EXAMPLE!" Rini said, tossing Luna Pi away, "NOW! WHICH OF YOU WANTS TO BE MY NEXT VICTIM?!" She reached down and her huge hand opened towards the girls.
"Split up and run!" Raye shouted as she grabbed the still shocked Serena and dragged her away. Lita and Mina ran off in another direction, but Amy stumbled and fell down. She looked back over her shoulder just as Rini's hand closed around her.
Serena and Raye stopped and looked back, peeking around a leg of the dining table. Lita and Mina watched in terror, cowering behind a small box.
"Ahhhhhhhhhh!" Amy screamed, clutched in Rini's hand and being lifted into the air, "Help me! Please!"
"Amy!" Serena shouted, "No! Leave her alone Rini!"
Rini lifted Amy up to her face, her eyes staring what seemed to be right through Amy's terrified body.
"SO, YOU SHALL BE THE FIRST TO DIE!" Rini said.
"Please no!" Amy said, "What are you going to do to me?"
Rini smiled evily again and squeezed her fist, causing Amy to scream in pain. A few of her ribs broke with a loud crunch. Then, Rini quickly opened her hand and let Amy plummet four feet to the hardwood floor below. Serena watched Amy fall, screaming all the way, and cringed when she saw Amy bounce after hitting the floor, blood spraying out from her forehead. Rini stood over the tiny girl and looked down at her.
Amy managed to roll onto her stomach and tried to crawl away, very slowly.
"YOU KNOW." Rini said, "FROM THIS ANGLE, YOU LOOK LIKE A PATHETIC BUG. INJURED AND TRYING TO GET AWAY. I THINK I NEED TO PUT YOU OUT OF YOUR MISERY, LITTLE BUG." Her right foot lifted and began to pass over Amy.
"She's going to step on her!" Serena said, "She'll be crushed! We need to do something!" She tried to run towards Amy, but Raye grabbed her and held her back. There was nothing they could do, but watch.
Rini's foot hovered above Amy, the sole of her sandal a few inches ahead of Amy's face, but her spike heel directly above. Rini then lowered her foot, knocking Amy flat on her chest with her heel. But, she didn't stop there.
With an evil smile on her face, Rini pressed her foot down, her spike heel impailing Amy throught the back. Amy screamed in pain, blood spraying from the point where Rini's heel punctured her. A pool of bright red blood began to accumulate around Amy. Her backbone had been shattered, and she became instantly paralyzed from the neck down. As Rini shifted her heel from side to side, Amy flopped around like a ragdoll, her arms and legs flailing lifelessly. The only indication of any remaining life, was Amy's painful screaming.
Rini lifted her foot again, causing Amy, now stuck to Rini's spike heel, to be lifted as well. Realizing this, Rini put her foot back down, then used her other foot to hold Amy down by her legs, and pulled her spike heel free from Amy's back. The hole in her back and chest now completely unobscured, more blood flowed out of Amy like a river, expanding the pool of blood already around her.
"AND NOW." Rini said, "TIME TO FINISH YOU OFF!" Her foot came towards Amy again, this time, her sandal's wide sole coming down on top of her.
"No!" Serena screamed.
Amy couldn't even scream as Rini stomped her foot down on Amy's tiny broken body. Blood squirted out on every side, even reaching as far as the table Serena and Raye now hid under, nearly 10 feet away. Rini laughted as she twisted her foot back and forth, mashing up Amy's mangled body even more. As if to make things worst, Rini, keeping her foot firmly planted, dragged it backwards, smearing Amy across the hardwood floor and leaving a wide trail of blood and body organs in her wake. Finally, she peeled what was left of Amy's body off the sole of her sandal and tossed it away.
"Oh my gosh!" Serena said, "Amy! No! She dead! Rini killed her!"
"Yes Serena." Raye said, "I saw it too. Somethings very wrong, Rini would never do this. Even if she is evil, ths is beyond anything cruel I've ever seen anyone do."
On the other side of the room, Lita and Mina were both in shock after watching their close friend squashed into hamburger meat. As Rini turned and looked in their direction, the two girls ducked behind the box.
"What are we going to do?!" Mina said, "Even if we transformed, there's no way we can fight her. She'll just step on us like she did to Amy."
"You're right." Lita said, "There must be another way out of here."
Lita thought for a moment, looking around the room. Just then, she noticed something.
"I have an idea." Lita said, "Look over there." She pointed across the room, past where Rini stood and to a point behind the table Serena and Raye were hiding.
"The door Rini used to get in here, it's still open." Lita said, "I'm the strongest so I'll distract Rini. You, run over and get Serena and Raye and all three of you escape through there. I'll catch up later."
"But what if you don't escape?" Mina said, "Rini will squish you too, just like . . . ."
"Like a bug. Yes, I know that." Lita said, "But I'm not gonna let that happen."
Just then, a shadow loomed over the top of them. Mina and Lita looked up in terror.
"PEEK-A-BOO!" Rini said, her foot hovering overhead, "I SEE YOU!"
"Run!" Lita shouted. The two girls ran in either direction as Rini's foot stomped the small box flat.
Both girls ran past Rini's foot, running towards the table. But Lita, wanting to do her part to distact Rini, turned and faced the oncoming giantess.
"Come on Rini!" Lita shouted, "I'm right here! Come and get me!"
Rini stopped chasing Mina and looked over at Lita. Mina, taking the opportunity, scrambled over to the table and dashed behind the leg Raye and Serena were hiding behind.
"What is Lita doing? Raye asked, "She's crazy."
"She's distracting Rini." Mina said, "We have to run throught that door and escape. It's what Lita wants us to do."
"No way!" Serena said, "She'll be killed for sure."
"We don't have a choice." Raye said, "Next chance we get, we run."
The three girls peeked around the corner to watch Lita face the giant Rini. Rini stepped up to Lita and towered over her. Lita looked up at her, noticing Rini's black skirt was doing a terrible job at hiding her white panties at this angle.
"I'VE NEVER HAD SOMEONE WILLFULLY COME UP TO ME TO DIE." Rini said, "YOU WANT IT OVER SO FAST?"
Lita gulped, trying to stay brave. She hoped Rini couldn't see her shaking knees.
"Y-You don't scare me." Lita said.
"HA HA HA!" Rini laughted, "YOUR WORDS BETRAY YOU LITA! I HEAR THE FEAR IN YOUR VOICE."
Rini's foot lifted quickly and came crashing down towards Lita. Lita, startled by the quick movement, stepped back and tripped, falling on her back. Instictivly, she reached up and caught Rini's foot. Her terrified gaze stared at Rini's sole, mear inches away, the bloody spot where Amy had been mashed was now right in her face. To her amazement, she appeared to be holding Rini's foot at bay.
"Can it be?" Lita said quietly, "I'm strong enough to hold back her entire foot, even at her size?"
She got a little overconfident. "You'll never squish me Rini!" she shouted, "I'm the strongest there is!"
"NO, YOUR NOT." Rini's voice boomed.
"Huh?" Lita said. Her gaze caught Rini's hand reaching down and grabbing her tightly. Swiftly, Rini pulled Lita out from under her foot and high into the air. She quickly came eye to eye with Rini.
"YOU REALLY BELIEVED YOU WERE HOLDING BACK MY FOOT?" Rini mocked, "THAT'S FUNNY! I COULDA SQUISHED YOU ANY TIME I WANTED TO."
"No way!" Lita said, "What happens now?"
"NOW, I GET TO HAVE A LITTLE FUN WITH YOU." Rini said, "YOU SEEM REALLY PROUD OF YOUR ARM STRENGTH. WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU HAD NO MORE ARMS?"
"What do you mean?" Lita said.
Rini just smiled. Holding Lita in one fist, Rini's other hand came up towards Lita. Two fingers reached in her direction.
"Ah!" Lita shouted, "Stay away!"
Lita tried to bash away Rini's hand, but her tiny punches had no effect against Rini's large fingers. Rini grabbed a hold of one of Lita's flailing arms and twisted. With a crunch, Lita's arm was broken in several areas. She screamed in pain as Rini pulled more and more until, with a spray of blood, Rini tore Lita's left arm completely off. Lita's scream was defening, except to Rini. She just watched more blood gush out of Lita's shoulder.
Dropping the arm, Rini turned Lita around and reached for the other tiny arm. Lita was practically blind with pain and didn't see Rini's fingers coming, but she felt Rini break every bone in her hand with the slightest squeeze of her big fingers. This time, Rini didn't even play around, and she ripped Lita's other arm off in a similar fashion with one massive yank. Again, Lita screamed, and again, the blood squirted out, falling to the floor at Rini's feet.
Lita was still alive, but barely. At this rate, she'd die from blood loss, not getting squashed. But, she had to keep distracting Rini. She managed to turn towards the table, seeing Mina, Serena, and Raye still there, watching in terror.
"What are they still doing there?" Lita thought, "Go! Run away!"
"What's the matter Rini?" Lita said out loud, "Afraid to finish me off? Just want to play with me? "
Rini's smile disappeared as she instead began to glare at Lita.
"I don't have any arms left." Lita said, "So, what's the point in playing around. I can't play back now, can I?"
Rini laughted.
"WHO SAID YOU WERE PLAYING TOO?" Rini said, "AS LONG AS I HAVE FUN KILLING YOU, WHO CARES ABOUT YOU."
Lita was shocked. This wasn't the plan. She looked towards the table again.
Finally! They were moving towards the door!
"Well Rini." Lita said, "If I'm going to die, I'm going to go out my way!"
With her last bit of strength, Lita pulled her head back and spit in Rini's face. But Rini hardly reacted at all, except for laughing, that is.
"I GUESS THAT'S THE BEST YOU'VE GOT NOW, ISN'T IT?" Rini said, "MY TURN."
Rini lifted Lita towards her mouth and expelled a huge glob of saliva that completely covered Lita. Her spit was massive! Lita, just now finding out spit had no air bubbles in it for her to breath, began to panic and the sticky fluid slowly began to suffocate her.
"THIS IS TAKING TOO LONG." Rini said, "YOU NEED TO DIE NOW SO I CAN FIND YOUR FRIENDS." Rini began squeezing her fist, putting even more pressure on Lita's body. She felt like she was going to burst.
"So, this is how it all ends huh?" Lita thought, "Oh well, I did my best. Good bye girls, escape this place quickly." Her vision went white as Rini used both hands to squeeze Lita past the surviable limit.
Squeezing her hands as tight as she could, Rini crushed the tiny body. Lita's head exploded and blood and guts shot out of Lita's neck, like toothpaste out of a bottle, splashing across Rini's mouth and face. Blood and mush oozed between the fingers of Rini's fist. Lita's body shriveled up as it's bloody contents squirted out and slid down Rini's hands, mixing with Rini's spit from earlier.
Raye held her hand over Serena's mouth as Rini dropped Lita's mangled body, shook the mess from her hands and licked the blood off her face. Serena wanted to scream so much, but doing so would give away their position behind the doorjam. But it didn't seem to matter because Rini turned around and immediately began walking back towards the open door, apparently knowing right where her little prisoners had run off to.
"Go, go!" Raye said, pushing the other two girl into the next room. But as they entered it, the girls were amazed at what they found.
The next room was filled with an enormous model city. The tallest buildings stood nearly 5 feet high, taller then Rini, even in her heels. To Serena, Raye, and Mina, the city looked life size. but to Rini, this was a mere toy.
"What is this place?" Mina said.
"It's Rini's toy city layout." Serena said, "She comes in here and destroys this city over and over again, each day. She likes to play 'giantess' I guess."
"Yeah, well, this time she's not pretending." Raye said, seeing Rini getting closer, "We need to hide. Split up and hide among the buildings."
Mina, and Raye each separated and dashed into the city. But just as Serena tried to run in another direction, Rini's foot crashed down in front of her, knocking her off her feet. Serena looked up to see Rini towering directly over her.
"NOW, NOW, NOW, SERENA." Rini said, "NO HIDING FROM YOUR DEATH. NOW, PREPARE TO GET STOMPED, DEAR MOTHER!" She lifted her foot over Serena. Serena closed her eyes and cowered in terror, letting out a loud scream.
"No!" a voice shouted. Serena felt herself picked up and carried away, feeling the ground shake violently as Rini's foot crashed down a mere second later. Serena looked around.
It was Sailor Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto! Uranus was carrying Serena under her arm.
"Whoa!" Serena said, "Where did you guys come from?"
"Rini's been trying to kill us too in another room." Uranus said, putting Serena down, "But we escaped."
"Looks like we made it just in time." Neptune said.
"SO, YOU THREE MANAGED TO ESCAPE, DID YOU?" Rini said, "WHAT WILL YOU DO NOW? YOU KNOW DEATH IS THE ONLY WAY TO ESCAPE ME, ONE WAY OR ANOTHER."
"Leave this to us Serena." Pluto said, "If the three of us attack together, maybe we can hold Rini back."
"Let's do it!" Neptune said.
"Uranus world Shaking!"
"Neptune Deep Submerge!"
"Pluto Deadly Scream!"
The three colored spheres of energy raced up towards Rini, combining into a large blast the size of a baseball. As it approached her, Rini grinned and reached out with a hand. Her large fingers grabbed the attack right out of the air and crushed it, spraying raw planetary energy in all directions.
"NICE TRY." Rini said, "BUT THOSE ATTACKS ARE WORTHLESS."
"Oh no!" Neptune said, "It didn't work!"
"Run Serena!" Uranus said, "We'll hold her off!"
"But what about you?" Serena said, "I can't leave you. You'll be killed for sure."
"It that is the fate we are to meet, we will do it with honor." Pluto said, "We will make sure our future Queen escapes this terror."
"I won't leave you!" Serena shouted.
"ENOUGH OF THIS!" Rini said. She stamped her foot, shaking Uranus and Neptune and knocking Pluto to the ground. Pluto looked up in terror before looking back at the Serena.
"I'm sorry my Queen." Pluto said, "I have failed yo . . . " Her final words were cut off as Rini stepped on Pluto's head. With a loud crunch, Pluto's skull popped like a grape, disappearing beneath the sole of Rini's sandal. A pool of bright red blood spread out across the floor. Pluto's body flailed a moment before it became still.
High above, Rini's evil laugh rang out. Uranus and Neptune, enraged by Pluto's death, threw themselves at Rini, attacking her toes and ankles with tiny attacks, doing their best to distract her. But suddenly, Rini snatched up the two Sailor Soldiers, one in each hand, leaving only their heads and shoulders sticking out.
"YOU TWO JUST DON'T LIKE TO GIVE UP, DO YOU?" Rini said, "AND I BET YOU HATE LOSSING EVEN MORE. WELL, GUESS WHAT? YOU TWO ARE ABOUT TO LOSE IT ALL!"
On the ground, Serena crawled backwards, looking at what remained of Sailor Pluto. Her gaze then went up to Rini's hands, where Uranus and Neptune struggled to avoid being crushed in Rini's grip.
"Let them go Rini!" Serena said, "Take me instead!"
"HA HA HA HA!!" Rini laughted, "DON'T WORRY MOTHER. I'LL GET TO YOU SOON ENOUGH." She stared straight at Uranus and Neptune, "ONCE I TAKE CARE OF THESE TWO."
Rini turned and walked back through the door into the kitchen. Serena followed at a safe distance behind. Rini walked up to the sink and flicked a switch on the wall. Uranus, Neptune and Serena all flinched as the terrible sound of the garbage disposal filled the quiet room.
Rini flashed her evil smile once again and opened her hand holding Uranus over the sink drain. Uranus dropped towards the whirling blades inside the drain quickly. But, just at the last minute, Rini caught Uranus by one foot, dangling her inches away from the drain.
"WHOA NOW." Rini said, "THAT WOULD'VE BEEN WAY TO QUICK, DON'T YOU THINK?"
"Please Rini!" Uranus shouted, "Stop this! Let us go!"
"Rini! Listen to her!" Neptune shouted, "You need to remember who we are!"
"SHUT UP NEPTUNE!" Rini said, "OR YOU'RE GOING IN THERE WITH URANUS! I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT I AM DOING AND I"M LOVING DOING IT."
She slowly lowered Uranus closer to the blades.
"NOW, SAY GOOD BYE TO YOUR PARTNER!" Rini said, as she shoved Uranus down the drain.
"No!" Neptune shouted.
As soon as she hit the blades, Uranus exploded in a shower of blood and body parts. The sink became a small geyser, spewing pieces of Uranus up into the air and covering Rini's hand with blood. It only took a few seconds for Uranus to disappear, in pieces, down the drain.
Serena nearly threw up. A huge bloody spot clung to the ceiling directly over the sink, still dripping fresh blood. Turning off the disposal, Rini turned around, still holding Neptune in her right hand. She was laughing again, enjoying the carnage she brought on her friends. Then, she began tormenting Neptune.
"HM, I AM STARTING TO GET A LITTLE HUNGRY." Rini said, twisting Neptune's head from side to side with two fingers, "I WONDER WHAT I SHOULD DO."
"You wouldn't!" Neptune said, "You can't actually eat me! That's unheard of!"
"EAT YOU?!" Rini said, "THAT'S A GREAT IDEA! THANKS FOR THINKING OF IT NEPTUNE!"
"What?!" Neptune said, feeling herself getting lifted towards Rini's face, "No! You can't!"
"AHHHHHH." Rini said, opening her mouth up wide and lifting Neptune, head first, towards her mouth. Neptune soon found her entire head inside Rini's mouth, saliva dripping all over her. She pleaded again and again as Rini's mouth began to close and the darkness inside her mouth returned.
Rini's teeth clamped down on Neptune's neck, slicing into her like knives. Neptune's muffled screams could barely be heard as her spine was pressed from both sides by Rini's upper and lower jaws. Then, to Serena's horror, Rini began pulling her head back, stretching Neptune's neck in a terrible fashion until, with a snap, Rini pulled Neptune's head completely off her body. Slurping up the bit of Neptune's neck she had tore off with the head, Rini watched blood erupt from Neptune's body like a fountain and splatter across her face and chest areas, turning a small part of her white tank top a dark shade of red.
Rini opened her mouth again and dumped what remained of Neptune's bleeding body sideways into her mouth, although Neptune's legs stuck out one corner of her mouth, and her shoulders out the other side. Then, she began chewing. Each time her teeth closed and crushed the body, blood squirted out both sides of her mouth. Rini's tongue reached out from under Neptune's body, wrapped around it, and dragged it deeper into her mouth, crunching bones as she forced it back into the narrower area at the back of her mouth and crushed it between her big back teeth. Her chewing was so loud.
Serena could stand no more. She covered her ears, not wanting to hear the bones of her friend snapping like twigs inside Rini's mouth. She turned and bolted for the toy city in the room behind her, crying as she ran. She had to hid, like Mina and Raye were hopefully doing now.
"Oh my gosh!" Serena thought as she ran, "What are we going to do now? If even Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto failed, what chance to we stand?"
The visions of her friends, Amy, Lita, Pluto, Uranus, and now Neptune's deaths kept playing back in Serena's head. In the back of her mind, Serena knew how this would all end, no matter how much she wished it could end a different way.
The loud clicking of Rini's high heel sandals on the kitchen floor snapped Serena back to reality. She was coming back! Serena dashed down the streets of the toy city, tall buildings reaching towards the ceiling on all sides. Toy cars as tall as her shoulders lined the streets. She ran around a corner just as Rini entered the room, stepping on and exploding Pluto's dead, headless body underfoot as she walked towards the toy city, leaving a bloody mess behind her.
"OH GIRLS!" Rini's called, her voice echoing down the streets, "DON'T FORGET. I CRUSH THIS TOY CITY FOR FUN EVERY DAY. I KNOW EVERY SQUARE INCH OF IT SO THERE'S NO HIDING PLACE YOU CAN FIND THAT I DON'T ALREADY KNOW ABOUT."
She paused for a moment, hoping one of the girls would give up. But, of course, no one showed themselves.
"HAVE IT YOUR WAY THEN." Rini said, "HERE I COME!"
From her hiding place around the corner of a building, Serena watched Rini's feet crush toy cars as she walked up and stopped right next to where Serena hid, her shadow covering Serena and her body towering high above her. Serena looked at a car completely crushed flat under Rini's right sandal and imagined if it had been her under that foot instead. She'd wind up like Amy, squished and smeared across the floor.
Finally, after pausing for almost a full minute and still not seeing Serena near her feet, Rini walked on, casually knocking over toy buildings along her path. Serena stepped out and watched Rini disappear around a corner further down the street. She breathed a hugh sigh of relief.
"Thank goodness." Serena said, "That was way too close! But I think I lost her. Only problem is, now I can't see where she is. These buildings are so big, she can hide among them and be anywhere."
"Serena?!" a voice said, startling Serena, "Is that you?!"
"Who's there?" Serena said, "Where are you?"
"Over here, by the restaurant." the voice said again. It was a male's voice.
Serena walked over to a smaller building, the restaurant the man said he was behind. As she walked up to the corner, a hand reached out and grabbed her, pulling her behind the wall.
"Tuxedo Mask?!" Serena said, "It's really you!"
"Yes Serena, it's me!" Darien said, dressed in his Tuxedo Mask outfit, "I'm so glad you're ok."
"Yes, I'm fine." Serena said, "But Darien. Rini! S-she's killed so many of our friends! Amy, Lita, even Sailor Pluto!"
"Yes, I know." Darien said, "I saw them all happen, but I didn't have a safe chance to get to you. And there was nothing I could do to save them."
"What's happening to her?" Serena said, "I know Rini can be a bit mischievous and all, but she'd never do anything like this!"
"She's with the Dark Moon now." Darien said, "All we can do is hid until nightfall. She'll get tired and go to sleep. That's when we escape."
"Ok." serena said, "Good idea."
"Let's go." Darien said, "I'll take you to where Mina and Raye are hiding."
As Serena and Darien quickly ran from the restaurant, they both failed to notice Rini watching from between a pair of large buildings. An evil smile formed on her bloody mouth and she pushed her way through the buildings and quietly followed.
Darien and Serena soon arrived at a replica of Raye's shrine, perched on it's own little hillside. The two ran up and inside the temple. Sure enough, Mina and Raye were inside.
"You made it!" Mina said.
"What about Uranus, Neptune and Pluto?" Raye asked, "Darien told us they were around here."
"Pluto got crushed trying to save me." Serena said "Rini ate Neptune and Uranus got shredded in the garbage disposal." She fought back tears yet again.
"They were some of the strongest Sailor Soldiers." Raye said, "And now they're gone?"
"What do we do now?" Mina asked, "We're trapped."
"We hid." Darien said, "Until she goes to sleep. And then . . . . "
"Wait!" Serena said, "Listen . . . . I hear something. Some kind of thumping from outside."
"You're right." Mina said, "And, is the ground shaking?"
"Oh no!" Darien said, "Run!" But it was too late.
The roof of the shrine was violently ripped off and lifted high into the air. Sure enough Rini now towered over the shrine. She tossed the roof away.
"I SHOULD'VE KNOWN YOU'D HID HERE GIRLS." Rini said, "GOOD THING MY MOMMY AND DADDY LED ME RIGHT TO YOU."
Serena and Darien hugged each other in fear.
"YOU'VE ELUDED ME FOR QUITE SOME TIME DADDY." Rini said, "YOU'VE DONE WELL SO FAR. BUT NOW, IT'S YOU'RE TURN TO DIE!"
Rini bent over and reached a hand towards Darien. Darien pushed Serena aside and tried to get up and run, but he was too slow. Rini grabbed Darien and started picking him up.
"No!" Serena shouted. She rushed up and grabbed Darien's arm, trying in vain to prevent Rini from taking him away. Raye and Mina ran up and pulled Serena away, dragging her out of the shrine and into the courtyard outside where Rini stood, bent over the shrine.
"Run Serena!" Darien said as he was lifted through the hole where the roof had been.
Rini's feet filled the courtyard, but the three girls ran between her legs and down the stairs behind her to the street about a foot below. Thankfully, with Rini focused on Darien, she didn't try to squish any of them as they ran past. Covering Serena's mouth and eyes to prevent her from screaming, Raye and Mina dragged her away and the three hid among the buildings.
Rini used her feet to crush and demolish what remained of the shrine, including it's other smaller buildings and trees, and sifted through the rubble to make sure it was empty. Then, she looked at Darien, securely trapped in her tight fist.
"NOW LET ME SEE." Rini said, "HOW SHOULD I KILL YOU DADDY? SHOULD I CRUSH YOU BENEATH MY FOOT LIKE I CRUSHED AMY? OR EAT YOU UP LIKE I DID SAILOR NEPTUNE?"
"Rini, please." Darien said, "Don't do this. We love you and you don't know what your doing. If we ever did anything to hurt you, please, talk to us. We can work this out."
Rini smiled and opened her hand, letting Darien fall a few inches before she caught him by his cape. She let him dangle there a moment and she giggled.
"OH DADDY." Rini said, "STILL AS CLUELESS AS EVER I SEE. DON'T YOU GET IT BY NOW? THIS IS MY WORLD AND I CONTROL EVERYTHING, INCLUDING YOUR LITTLE LIVES. AND I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT I'M DOING."
Her evil smile appeared again and Darien got very nervous.
"NOW." Rini said, "TIME TO FALL."
"What?" Darien said.
Rini opened her hand and let Darien fall again, this time a full four feet to the ground. He slammed onto the courtyard surface and bounced once, coming to rest between Rini's feet. Darien struggled to get up, but couldn't. What he did notice was the shuffling of Rini's feet nearby. He looked over his shoulder as Rini's right foot shifted then came towards him.
From her hiding place, Serena gasped. This was starting out very similar to Amy's death before. She couldn't bear to guess what was going to happen next. She turned away as Rini's foot came down.
Rini planted her foot firmly on Darien's back and pushed him down against the ground. She pinned him with just enough force so as not to crush him, at least not yet, but make it absolutely impossible to escape. Rini looked down at him.
"COME ON DADDY!" Rini said, "LET'S SEE A LITTLE MESS FROM YOU."
Rini wiggled her huge foot back and forth, rocking Darien and his tiny head from side to side. Finally, she pressed with just enough weight to make him throw up. Rini only slightly lifted her foot to relieve the pressure for the moment.
"NICE JOB DADDY." Rini said, "NOW, LET'S SEE SOME BLOOD!"
Darien only groaned in pain.
This time, Rini pressed down even harder and again wiggled her giant sandal into him. It didn't take long for Darien to spew blood across the courtyard from his mouth as his internal organs began to be mashed by the pressure Rini's foot forced down on him.
"Rini Please stop!" Darien finally shouted, "You're crushing me!"
Rini took her foot completely off Darien and looked down at him, delighting in the way Darien now tried to crawl away, similar to Amy's final breaths not long before.
"THAT'S THE IDEA DADDY." Rini saud.
Rini watched Darien for a moment. His body was mangled and dirty, his shirt bloody and torn. His struggling delighted her even more. His body was so broken, he could barely move
"THANKS FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT DADDY." Rini said, "BUT I THINK IT'S TIME TO FINISH YOU OFF AND MOVE ON. I NEED TO CATCH UP TO MOMMY AND THOSE TWO GIRLS WHO KEEP DELAYING THEIR INEVITABLE DEMISE. BUT DON'T WORRY, THIS IS ONE DEATH I'LL NEVER FORGET."
After flopping him over onto his back, Rini's foot came back over Darien and covered him completely, leaving only his head sticking out ahead of her toes. Then, with no remorse, Rini stood on him with her foot, lifting her other foot so all her weight pressed down on Darien. As she did this, Darien's mouth spewed blood straight up like a fountain while his guts burst out all over. His body began to smush up like a piece of fruit.
Rini just smiled and laughted. "CRUSH!" she said as she felt the softness of Darien's body squish out from under her. She also felt some little hard things crackle and go flat. Just to make sure, Rini bounced up and down on him a little bit while keeping all of her weight on the foot Darien was under. She looked down and saw rays of blood and innards squirting out in different directions from under her foot each time she bounced.
"OOOH! SQUISHY!" Rini said.
Finally, Darien's body was completely drained of all blood and fluids. Rini got a little sad.
"WHAT'S THE MATTER DADDY?" Rini said, "IS A TALL GIRL LIKE ME TOO HEAVY FOR YOU?" And with that, she lifted her foot and crushed Darien's head beneath it, twisting it around.
Rini lifted her foot and looked to see what was left where she had stepped
down. She saw a mess of crushed insides, hands, legs, and bones. Rini could make
out many of these parts, while others were too
mashed to tell. Amazingly, She could still clearly make out Darien's face: eyes,
nose, mouth, everything; even though it had been where her sandal had stepped
down and was now crushed absolutely flat.
"THAT JUST LEAVES MOMMY AND HER FRIENDS." Rini said, stepping off the bloody remains of Darien's body. She looked across the city.
"PERFECT." Rini said, "I LOVE A GOOD GAME OF HIDE-AND-GO-SQUISH! READY OR NOT GIRLS, HERE I COME!" She stepped into the city, smashing apart buildings left and right as she walked.
Hiding in the city, Serena was crying like crazy once again. She may not have actually seen Darien's death, but from her hiding place, she had watched Rini's foot rising and falling and twisting back and forth, her evil eyes and that wicked smile trained on something beneath her that Serena knew was Darien getting squished.
"He's gone for sure." Serena said, "Rini just killed her own father. What kind of child does that?"
"We need to focus now Serena!" Raye said, "Rini is intent on killing us all and it's rather apparent she's going to find us one way or another."
Mina watched Rini crashing through the city.
"So, what do we do?" Mina said, "If you want my opinion, I say we transform and attack her first. We may not win, but at least we might catch her by surprise and buy some time."
"What's the point?" Serena said, "Rini's killed everyone I care about. Even if we somehow escape, how do we live our lives. We're tiny and without our friends. Who knows what she did to my mother and father. Or Sammy."
"Best to assume Rini killed them first." Raye said, "Look Serena. We may not be able to escape, but at least we'll go out like real Sailor soldiers, in battle!"
"She's right." Mina said, "If we're going to die, I'd rather not sit around and wait for it to come to me. I'm going to it. Fear never stopped us before."
"You're right." Serena said, "For all those who died helping us get here, let's fight!"
"AW, WHAT A WONDERFUL SPEECH." Rini said.
"What?!" Serena said, whirling around. Raye and Mina, along with Serena, stared up in shock.
Rini was towering over them, standing much taller then the small buildings in front of her.
"How did she sneak up on us?" Serena thought, "There's no way!"
"We're not afraid anymore Rini!" Raye said, "We'll fight you to the end!"
"We won't run from you anymore Rini!" Mina said.
"WELL, THAT'S GOOD." Rini said, "SAVES ME THE TROUBLE OF CHASING AFTER YOU."
"Get ready Rini!" Serena said, "We're coming to get you and save you from the Dark Moon's power."
"Venus Crystal Power!!" Mina said, transforming into Super Sailor Venus.
"Mars Crystal Power!!" Raye said, transforming into Super Sailor Mars.
"Moon Crisis Power!!" Serena said, transforming into Super Sailor Moon.
"HOW QUICKLY YOU FORGET." Rini said, "I MAY BE A PART OF THE DARK MOON, BUT I'M STILL A SAILOR SOLDIER AS WELL."
"Oh no!" Sailor Moon said.
"MINI MOON CRISIS POWER!" Rini shouted. In a burst of light and energy, she transformed into Super Sailor Mini Moon. The transformation was so powerful, it flattened all the buildings around her in a large radius.
Crushing a toy bus with her giant pink boot, Sailor Mini Moon stepped closer to the tiny girls.
"COME ON NOW!" Mini Moon said, "COME AT ME AND PROVE HOW USELESS YOUR EFFORTS REALLY ARE."
"Mars Flame Sniper!" Mars shouted, her fire arrow streaking towards Mini Moon.
"Venus Love and Beauty Shock!" Venus shouted, a large orange heart racing at Mini Moon.
Both attacks slammed into Mini Moon's legs, just above her knees, exploding in a cloud of energy and smoke. When it cleared, there was little more then two scuff marks on her kneecaps.
"HA HA HA HA!!" Mini Moon laughted, "WAS THAT THE BEST YOU CAN DO? URANUS, NEPTUNE, AND PLUTO DID BETTER THEN THAT. OH WAIT, NO THEY DIDN'T!"
Mini Moon bent over, her hands quickly reaching towards them.
"Look out!!" Sailor Venus cried.
But it was too late. Mini Moon grabbed Venus and Mars much faster then they could run away. She lifted them up, bringing them to her eye level.
"Leave them alone Mini Moon!" Sailor Moon shouted from the floor.
"OR ELSE WHAT?" Mini Moon asked, looking down at Sailor Moon, "ARE YOU GOING TO SCUFF MY LEG TOO?"
"Moon Gorgeous Meditation!!" Sailor Moon shouted, aiming almost straight up as Mini Moon was practically towering directly above her, straddling the tiny scout with ease. Moon's attack hit Mini Moon high up on her chest, but Mini Moon simply laughted. Her chest bow wasn't even damaged.
"THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT." Mini Moon said "RELAX. WATCH AS I END YOUR FRIEND'S LIVES."
Mini Moon lifted a foot and lowered it towards Sailor Moon. Moon tried to run, but slipped and fell, rolling onto her back just as Mini Moon stepped down and pinned Sailor Moon with her massive pink boot. Sailor Moon tried to push the boot away with all her strength, but Mini Moon's foot would not move an inch. It held her down with incredible weight and pressure.
"Mini Moon!" Moon pleaded, "Please! I can hardly breath!" It felt like a python was constricting her, but a hundred times worse. Each time she exhaled, Mini Moon's boot seemed to settled down on her more, making it harder and harder to inhale again. Finally, she boot lifted only slightly, allowing Moon to breath a little better.
"DON'T WORRY." Mini Moon said, "I'M NOT KILLING YOU YET. I WANT YOU TO WATCH AND SUFFER AS YOUR FRIENDS DIE. THEN, I'LL TAKE CARE OF YOU." Her attention shifted back to the scouts in her hands. "WHO WANTS TO GO FIRST?"
Sailor Moon tried desperately to regain her breath. Through her blurry vision, she looked way up to see Venus and Mars trying to fend off Mini Moon's approaching jaws as she teased her captives, snapping her teeth mere inches from the two and causing them to flinch in terror. Each time they did, Mini Moon was so amused at their fear, that she let out a horrible laugh.
"FINE, IF NEITHER OF YOU WILL CHOOSE WHO DIES FIRST, I WILL." Mini Moon said, "AND I CHOOSE SAILOR VENUS."
"What?!" Venus said.
"IT'S YOUR LUCKY DAY." Mini Moon said, "OH WAIT, MAYBE IT'S ACTUALLY YOUR UNLUCKY DAY!"
Mini Moon lifted her boot off Sailor Moon, knowing she was too weak and exhaused to run away. Then, she sat down in the large destroyed area of the city her transformation had created, putting Mars in the same hand as Venus and squeezing them together. Then, she took off her boots and set them nearby, stretching out her legs and using them to encircle the exhausted Sailor Moon. Using her free hand, Mini Moon then picked up Sailor Moon, dropped Sailor Venus, and placed Sailor Moon in the same hand as Sailor Mars.
"NOW SAILOR VENUS." Mini Moon said, "TIME TO DIE!"
Of course, Venus tried to run away, but with Mini Moon's body and legs around her, Venus had nowhere to run too. Mini Moon reached down and grabbed Venus by her collar. Then, she positioned Venus near her feet and pinched Venus between the soles of her two feet, rubbing them back and forth and twisting Venus in unnatural positions. Venus' body cracked at each new twist and she began screaming in pain. Sailor Moon and Mars could only watch, helplessly.
Mini Moon's toes pawed at Venus' body and face, her nails tearing Venus open and causing significant bleeding which ran down both Venus' body and Mini Moon's toes. Venus screamed one last time as she was squeezed between the soles of Mini Moon's bare feet and squished flat like a grape, blood squirting out from between Mini Moon's feet and splashing across her sailor suit.
Mini Moon separated her feet, revealing a huge bloody mess on each sole. Venus' mangled body slid off Mini Moon's right sole and splattered to the ground, lifeless but still gushing blood which quickly pooled around her. Making certain she was drained, Mini Moon squelched Sailor Venus with her big toe, twisting it back and forth and mangling the body even more, until no more blood came out.
"SO MUCH FOR THE GODDESS OF LOVE AND BEAUTY." Mini Moon said, "ALTHOUGH I HAVE TO ADMIT, HER BLOOD DOES MAKE A BEAUTIFUL PATTERN ON THE FLOOR."
She laughed at her own joke. Sailor Moon and Sailor Mars looked in terror, knowing one of them was next and they had no way to escape.
Mini Moon stood up and slipped her pink boots back on. She then looked over her shoulder.
"COME TO ME LUNA PI!" Mini Moon shouted. Sure enough, a moment later, Luna Pi reappeared, bouncing down the street and coming to rest next to Mini Moon.
"I THINK I'LL HAVE FUN WITH SAILOR MARS NEXT." Mini Moon said, "LUNA PI, KITTY MAGIC!"
Luna Pi bounced once and exploded in a cloud of smoke. When it cleared, a replica of the Tokyo Tower appeared and stood next to Mini Moon. It was just slightly shorter then Mini Moon's chin, but was still the tallest structure in the toy city now.
Mini Moon walked up the the tower and placed Sailor Moon on the lower level observation area's roof. It wasn't near the top, but was still high enough that Sailor Moon would die if she tried to jump. Mini Moon then stepped on either side of the tower, positioned her legs alongside the tower and straddling the observation deck below where Sailor Moon was now stranded. This allowed her to bring her chest and head in as close to the tower as possible to get the best view of what she intended to do to Sailor Mars.
"WOW." Mini Moon said, "THAT SURE DOES LOOK SHARP, DOESN'T IT?"
She stared straight at the TV antenna at the very tip-top of the Tokyo Tower replica and her evil smile returned as she glanced at Sailor Mars, still trapped in her fist.
"No, please don't do it!" Sailor Mars begged, "Rini please! I don't want to die!"
"YOUR PLEADING MAKES THIS EVEN BETTER." Mini Moon said. She grabbed Sailor Mars' feet with one hand and her arms with her other hand. She lifted Mars above the spire and dangled her there.
"ARE YOU SCARED?" Mini Moon asked, "BEG FOR YOUR LIFE!"
"Yes, I am scared!" Sailor Mars said, "See, I admitted it! I am scared. Please, please don't do this to me!"
"DON'T WORRY." Mini Moon said, "YOU NO LONGER NEED TO BE AFRAID."
Mini Moon slammed Sailor Mars down on the tip of the Tokyo Tower replica. The sharp point easily pierced Mars through the back and exploded out her chest, blood spraying everywhere. Sailor Mars screamed in agony as she was impailed on the spire. She flailed wildly, but there was no way she could escape. But her pain wasn't over yet.
Mini Moon leaned in close and opened her mouth. She bit down on one of Mars' flailing arms and tore it off easily, swallowing it whole. More blood sprayed out. Mini Moon moved the the side and bit down on Mars' legs, tearing them off at the knees and chewing them up before she spit out a tiny pair of red high-heel shoes. Sailor Mars was screaming so loud now, it even got Mini moon upset.
"SHUT UP!" Mini Moon said as she walked around the tower, reached up, and gripped Mars' head between two fingers. Then, with no remorse and no effort at all, she pressed her fingers together and crushed Sailor Mars' head with a sickening crunch. The screaming ceased instantly and her body stopped flailing and hung limp. Blood began seeping out between Mini Moon's firmly pressed fingers, staining her white gloves bright red. Mini Moon reached up with both hands and gripped the body firmly.
Down below on the Tokyo Tower replica's observation deck roof, Sailor Moon looked up in horror as her best friend was torn apart by Mini Moon's hands. She flinched as Sailor Mars' remaining arm landed next to her. Blood fell like rain. Finally, Mini Moon stopped, but Sailor Moon froze when Mini Moon looked straight down at her.
"AND THEN, THERE WAS ONE." Mini Moon said, "YOU'RE ALL THAT'S LEFT MOMMY."
Placing her hand on top of the Tokyo Tower replica to steady herself, Mini Moon lifted her foot and pointed the toes of her pink boot toward Sailor Moon.
"Mini Moon!" Sailor Moon shouted, "Wait! Please don't do thi . . . . !"
Sailor Moon was cut off as Mini Moon kicked Sailor Moon in the chest and sent her flying. Sailor Moon flew through the air and smashed into the side of one of the model buildings, bouncing off and falling two feet to the street below. Ricocheting off a toy car, she came to rest in the street and held her chest in pain. The air had been kicked right out of her lungs and she gasped for air. A loud crashing sound made her look up.
Mini Moon was coming fast, stomping down the street towards her, her pink boots crushing toy cars and trucks under her soles and heels. Sailor Moon tried to crawl away, but Mini Moon was to fast. Her boot slammed into Sailor Moon's chest again, kicking her further down the street, where she bounced over toy cars and off buildings like a ball, finally coming to a stop in a small intersection.
Amid all the chaos, Sailor Moon could hear 2 things over everything else: Mini Moon's laughter and her footsteps crushing more toy cars as she approached. As she rolled onto her back, Sailor Moon could see Sailor Mini Moon standing directly over her, staring down with that same cold, mischevious, evil smile she had had during each time she killed one of the girls with no remorse at all. Mini Moon bent over, bringing her face closer to Sailor Moon.
"YOU'RE NEXT, LITTLE MOMMY." Mini Moon said, "I'M GOING TO STEP ON YOU LIKE A TINY, INSIGNIFICANT, LITTLE BUG. NOTHING SPECIAL FOR YOU, JUST A SIMPLE, CRUSHING STEP OF MY BIG BOOT ON YOUR TINY, FRAGILE BODY AND IT'LL BE ALL OVER FOR YOU."
Mini Moon lifted her boot and slowly lowered it towards Sailor moon.
"Rini, please!" Sailor Moon said, her chest heaving as she tried to catch her breath, "Don't do this!"
But Mini Moon's foot never stopped until it touched Sailor Moon's face and covered her entire body. Mini Moon teased Sailor Moon, pretending to lift her foot, but then pressing down again. Sailor Moon tried with all her might to push the boot off her, to no avail. The sole of Mini Moon's boot was literally in her face.
Sailor Moon suddenly felt intense pain as Mini Moon's heel settled down, snapping her legs at the knees and crushing the bones against the street. She fought back the overwelming urge to scream and cry, knowing it would only fuel Mini Moon's pleasure. As the boot pressed even harder, Sailor Moon felt the air being pressed out of her lungs and the pressure move to her stomach.
Sailor Moon threw up, her stomach contents spraying all over the place. To make matters worse, she then began spitting up blood as her internal organs began succumbing to the weight of Mini Moon's ever increasing pressure on her body. But then, just barely, Sailor Moon heard Mini Moon speaking one last time.
"GOOD BYE DEAR MOTHER." Mini Moon said.
"AAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!" Sailor Moon screamed.
As Mini Moon stomped her foot down, splattering Sailor Moon and spraying blood across the floor, her vision suddenly became blinding white and she was thrown backwards.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
"NOOO!!!" Rini shouted, violently sitting up in bed.
Rini was out of breath, her chest heaving, her body in a cold sweat. She looked around the room.
"What?" Rini said, "What happen? Where am I?"
The room was dark, except for a pegasus shaped night light in the far corner. It was her bedroom and it was still late at night.
"A dream?" Rini said, "It was a dream? But, it felt so real. I thought for sure I'd . . . ."
Rini gasped. Where was Serena? Was she alive?
Rini jumped out of bed, barefoot and dressed only in her pajamas. She ran downstairs and down the hallway to Serena's room. She threw the door open and ran up to Serena's bed.
"Serena!" Rini shouted, "Are you there?! Are you alive?!"
Serena suddenly jumped up and fell out of bed.
"Ouch!" Serena said, "Rini?! What in the world are you doing here?!"
Rini was near tears as she ran over and grabbed Serena in a big hug.
"Serena!" Rini said, "I'm so glad you're ok!"
Serena was shocked. "What is it Rini? What's wrong?"
"I had a terrible dream, Serena." Rini said, "Y-Y-You and the girls were all shrunk, and I-I-I was evil! And, I-I-I was huge, a-a-and I-I stepped on you guys! I squished most of you! I even ate some of the girls!"
"You did what?!" Serena said.
"I killed them all!" Rini said, "It felt so real, I just had to make sure you were ok!"
"Well, we're all ok Rini." Serena said, "It was just a dream. You can stop crying now."
Rini sniffed a few times and whiped her tears away, but she still had a tough time feeling better.
"Are you sure?" Rini said, "The other girls are ok too?"
"I'm sure they're fine." Serena said, "First thing in the morning, we'll get them all together, and you can see for yourself. Ok?"
"Ok." Rini said, "Thanks Serena. Sorry for rushing in here."
"It's ok." Serena said, "That's what I'm here for, to make you feel better."
Rini nodded.
"Now, go get some sleep." Serena said, "It's late and you need your energy for tomorrow."
"Ok." Rini said, "Good night."
"Good night." Serena said.
As Serena climbed back in bed, Rini closed the door and walked back up the
stairs to her room. She quietly got back into bed and quickly fell back asleep.
And this time, she slept soundly.
***THE END***
----------------------------------------------------------------------
EPILOGUE
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Before Serena could fall back asleep, she was disturbed by Luna sitting on her chest.
"We have a small problem Serena." Luna said.
"What is it?" Serena asked, "Is it another monster attack?"
"I'm not sure." Luna said, "But I sensed Dark Moon energy in Rini's room a short while ago, but it disappeared just before Rini came in here."
"You think a monster was in Rini's room?" Serena asked.
"Possibly." Luna said, "But it must've been very small for her not to see anything."
"Maybe that has to do with why she had that nightmare." Serena said, "I remember that time I had the bad dream that the other Sailor Scouts were all giant and torturing me, and it ended up being some tiny monster manipulating my dream, but that was a long time ago."
"Regardless." Luna said, "I suggest we keep on our guard. The dark energy may be gone now, but we don't know when it might return. Who knows what the Dark Moon Circus is planning with this kind of attack."
"I agree." Serena said, "But for now, I'm going back to bed."
"Very well." Luna said, "We'll talk in the morning."
"Ok." Serena said, rolling over and causing Luna to fall onto the floor, "Good night, Luna."
Luna sighed. "Good night Serena."
