The Other Woman Part 3 

**************************** 

Tanya stood frozen in the spot, peeking through the doorway 
after having seen Usagi turn into Eternal Sailor Moon. 
It took a few moments for the situation to process in her 
mind that ditzy, flaky Usagi was indeed the one person she 
was looking for. *I can't just stand here and let that monster 
destroy Sailor Moon. I have to help her, no matter what happens 
to me!* thought Tanya to herself. 

Meanwhile, the evil demon started gathering up its strength to 
attack Sailor Moon. It turned its flashing red eyes on her. 
"Nice trick, but that is not going to do you any good once I 
get through with you. DIE!!!!" 

The demon opened its mouth wide and spat a long stream of green, 
thick acid towards Sailor Moon. She quickly jumped out the way, 
but some of the specks of acid fell on her hand, burning her 
painfully through the gloves. 

"Owwww!!! You disgusting creep! You're gonna pay for that!" cried 
Sailor Moon. Concentrating, she thrust out her hands, the crescent 
moon shining on her tiara. The Eternal Tier appeared magically in 
her hand. "STARLIGHT HONEYMOON, THERAPY KISS!" shouted the Moon 
senshi as she aimed the weapon at the demon. 

Instead of destroying it however, the demon raised its arms and 
threw up a protective force field around it. The power simply absorbed 
into the shield, leaving the creature unharmed, but slightly stronger 
because it now absorbed the energy into itself. 

*Oh no!!* thought Eternal Sailor Moon in despair, *This is not supposed 
to happen! Now what?* 

"Ha!! Is that all you got? No wonder you're the weakling my mistress 
says you are. Now it's time for YOU to make an exit!" The monster's 
eyes glowed even redder, and a massive beam of red light shot out of 
them and hit Sailor Moon full force on her chest, flinging her across 
the room and knocking her to the floor next to Tanya's father. 

*KAMI-SAMA! I have got to act fast, or else I'm going to lose both of 
them!* thought Tanya. Casting aside her fear, she clenched her fists 
tight and rushed inside the room. 

"Hold on Sailor Moon! I'm here to help you!" yelled Tanya as she ran 
towards Sailor Moon, but the demon, upon seeing her run in the large 
room, jumped in her way. 

"No, stay back. You'll get hurt! Just take your dad and get out of here!" 
Sailor Moon whispered softly, struggling in pain to raise herself, 
but collapsed with a painful grunt. 

The creature snarled in Tanya's face, "You better listen to what your 
friend is saying if you know what's good for you, or you'll end up like her!" 

"In you're dreams, you piece of monster crap!!" yelled Tanya bravely. 
"Your game of preying on people's feelings are over!" Tanya backed away 
from the creature. She then threw up her right hand, passing it over 
the now materialized Sirius Emerald Star Stone on her necklace, and 
shouted "SIRIUS STAR POWER, MAKE-UP!" A star shined in the middle of 
her forehead, and she went through her transformation to become Sailor 
Sirius in her dark navy blue, white, dark yellow, and black fuku. 

"What this? You're one of those silly senshi!!" the creature was 
gesturing wildly, looking from her to Sailor Moon. "Why wasn't I 
told this? Why, why?!" it screamed as it began jumping up and down 
in agitation. 

Sailor Sirius assumed her fighting stance as she confronted the 
Anima-Mate. "That's right creep, and YOU'RE about to become dead weight!" 

The creature was so surprised and confused that it did not realize 
Sailor Sirius thrusting forth her hand above her head, and with 
concentration, she called forth her black scepter. Fixing the demon 
a determined looked, she lowered it in front of her and pointed it 
at the demon."SIRIUS SCEPTER! ILLUMINATE!!" A beam of massive, white 
light energy shot out from the scepter, and went straight into the 
creature's eyes. The creature screamed in pain as its eyes was burned, 
causing it to go blind and unable to use its powers temporarily. 

The creature then began shooting red energy beams around the room, 
trying to hit Sailor Sirius, but she quickly darted behind it, jumped 
and gave it a high spinning kick in the back of the head, knocking it 
unconscious on the floor. Sailor Sirius then ran towards Sailor Moon 
and her father, her heart beating wildly. 

"Sailor Moon! Are you O.K.? Please get up! Oh, please." begged Sailor 
Sirius as she gently lifted her head. 

Sailor Moon slowly opened her eyes and looked toward the dark-skinned 
senshi. "I saw you......Who are.....?" she gasped painfully, but couldn't 
finish. 

"It's alright, I'll explain it to you later," said Sirius as she 
helped Sailor Moon stand. "Right now, let's just get the heck out 
of here!" 

Sailor Moon painfully stood and then helped Sirius get her father up and 
out of the church and into the parking lot behind it. No sooner had the 
senshi were outside and tried to wake Dr. Cambridge, the creature suddenly 
materialized near where they were kneeling with him in their arms. 

"Guess whose baaaack?" the creature hissed, and started towards them. 

Eternal Sailor Moon got up from the floor where she was kneeling, and 
turned toward Sailor Sirius. "Get your dad away, quick! I'll see if I 
can distract it until you come back." She nodded and smiled, letting 
the Star Senshi know that she was alright. 

"O.K.!" said Sailor Sirius, and helped her father walk over behind another 
building near the church. When they were gone, Sailor Moon stepped forward 
bravely, narrowing her clear blue eyes. 

"Well, well, look whose coming back for more!" said the creature as it 
spotted Eternal Sailor Moon coming towards it." Ready to get your butt 
whooped all over again?" 

"Oh yeah, that's really funny coming from you!" Sailor Moon snorted. 
"Only this time, YOU'RE the one whose going to get whooped!" 

"You and what army? I see your little friend has gone and left you!" the 
demon said with an evil smile, ready to attack again. 

"Hey you! BIG, BAD, AND UGLY! Over here!" A shouted a young voice. 
Sailor Sirius suddenly jumped down from the air and landed behind the demon. 
She straightened and pointed at it. "You have no right taking advantage 
of this man's love and feelings, which he gave so freely! I will not allow 
it, and for that, you WILL be vanquished!" 

"And in the name of the Moon Kingdom, I will punish you!" said Sailor Moon, 
assuming her fighting stance and pointing accussingly at the Anima-Mate. 

"Pretty words, but can you walk the walk?" snarled the demon. 

"You bet!! Are you ready for this Sailor Moon? It's time to put this 
reject from the dating service out of commission!" said Sailor Sirius 
with renewed courage. 

"Let's do it! This one's moon dust!" replied Eternal Sailor Moon, pointing 
her tier. Sirius raised her hand, and both senshi shouted at the same time: 


"SIRIUS INFRARED LASER..DISINTERGRATE!" 
STARLIGHT..HONEYMOON THEREPY KISS!" 
Red, enormous blazing light erupted from Sailor Sirius's hands as 
her body glowed a red aura, and she thrust forth her left hand. 
The powerful destructive energy hit the creature at the same time 
Sailor Moon's power it. This time, the demon had no chance of putting 
up a shield to protect it since they were coming from both sides, and 
after a moment of agony, the demon exploded with a scream in a burst 
of red, violet and pink. All was silent for a few second, then the 
small crystal taken from Tanya's father rose and floated from what as 
left of it, and quietly traveled back to him. In a flash of gentle light, 
the Star Seed absorbed back into the man's body before it turned black. 

Sailor Sirius gave a shout of elation. "We did it!!" She stopped for 
a moment, then ran to her father to check on him. Sailor Moon followed 
behind closely. "That's right, we did it! But you know, I think you and 
I need to have a little talk after this. There are some things we need 
to discuss." 

"She's right, after all," said Marco, suddenly walking up to them. 
"We do need to have a talk."

Shadow Galactica: 

Sailor Iron Mouse slowly walked up to Sailor Galaxia, dreading the news 
she had to give her and hoping to leave unscathed. 

"Iron Mouse, what news?" said Galaxia as she sat in her throne, dressed 
in her full regalia of gold. 

"It seems as though this recent mission has failed, Your Worshipfulness," 
Iron Mouse replied meekly. "Red Claw has been destroyed, and the Star Seed 
lost. It has turned out that the senshi we met up with abroad was the target's 
daughter. His Star Seed wasn't a true one either." Sailor Iron Mouse bowed. 

"What? These damned senshi are showing up everywhere!" the Godl senshi 
fumed. "Well, if we can't stop them from outside their circle of friends 
because it is getting bigger, ee'll just have to start a little closer." 
she clasped her hands together and smiled greedily. 

"What do you have planned, Exalted One?" said Sailor Iron Mouse, getting 
interested.

The next day, at Hikawa Jinja 
Two hours after school: 
"Wow! Is that how you beat Queen Beryl, Usagi!" said Tanya, after hearing 
the story. "I wish I could have been there, so I could have kicked her 
butt too!" 

"Well, it wasn't as easy as that, but in the end, that's what happened. 
Beryl and her thugs got put back in their place!" said Usagi proudly. 

"Yea, with a little help from us!" said Rei grumpily while serving the 
girls tea. 

"It doesn't matter how it got done, just as long as it was done," said 
Ami after taking a sip. "But unfortunately, even with Beryl and the other 
enemies gone, we now have a new threat to planet in the name of Sailor 
Galaxia, and we all have to rack our brains to find a way to defeat her." 

"Absolutely," replied Makoto, "We can't let our guards down for a second." 
Suddenly the phone rang, and Rei excused herself to go answer it. When she 
came back, she looked at Usagi with worry. 

"It's Mrs. Tsukino, and she sounds really upset. I think you should take 
the call in the next room." said Rei, handing Usagi the phone. 

When Usagi left, Tanya looked around at everyone. "I wonder what that was 
about. Do you think everything's alright?" 

Minako shrugged, "I don't know, but I'm worried about this Sailor Galaxia 
at the moment. She could be up to something." 

Usagi walked came back into the receiving room, her face all white and 
shaking. Rei immediately ran up to her holding, her and taking her to sit 
down. "Usagi! What's the matter?! What did your mom say to you!" 

"It's..it's my brother Shingo," Usagi whispered. "His teacher called...
He wasn't in school today, and he's an hour late from being home..They..
they found his bookbag on the road, with no sign of him. 

Suddenly tears started down her cheeks, "My brother's missing, and no one 
has any idea where he is!"
